teliglon is already so strongly implanted in then, that the power of man will not be able to eradicate it. do I have been informed, and can prove, that ever. in the midst of the revolt, whilst the negroes were all as sembled —all in arms, some of them were heard to say,' We will take no man's life, for we cannot give it:— We will shed no blood, for it is contrary to the reli gion Me have been taught.' Which of the negroes said this? Not the lowest class of Africans—not the heathen, but the Christian negroes. a This revolt has been unlike every other I ever heard or read of. In former revolts in this colony, in Jamaica, in Grenada, and in Barbadoes, blood and massacre were the prominent features. In this a mildness and for bearance, worthy of the faith they professed, (however wrong their conduct may have been) were the charac teristics: even the attempts at bloodshed in this have been confined to the Africans who were not yet baptiz.•d." The evidence adduced by Mr. Satan, though not so voluminous as that for the charge is ample, aid con sists in a great measure of the examination of the same witnesses who had appeared against 'him. Several dis crepancies and inconsistencies are thus detected. Many statements made by the negroes for the prosecution are rebutted by others for the defence; and looking to all the evidence on both sides, we confess it does not appear to us to warrant the verdict given against Mr. SMITH., We are far from impugning the conduct of the Officers of the Court Martial, or doubting that they were men of honour and acted conscientiously ; but we do not think there is that evidence of Mr. SMlllt'S knowledge of the revolt, much less his abetting it, that would have obtained from a Jury a verdict of Guilt) ; and yet we do think, that a Court Martial is much less likely to be influenced either by fears or by prejudices, than any Court that could be formed in a Colony, consisting of only two other classes of society ; slave owners and slaves. The Cpurt Martial recommended Mr. SArtur to mercy, and no sooner was the Government at home put in piassession of the facts of the case than mercy was promptly extended by his MAJESTY'S gracious par- don. Unhappily, however, the unfortunate individual did not live to recei►e the benefit of it, and he died under sentence of death. All that can be done for his memory is done in the publication of the whole of the evidence, and it will perhaps be the best vindication of his character that could be given to the Public. Lisbon Papers to the 27th ult. reached us this morn ing. They contain a long decree issued by the King of PORTUGAL, 'evoking scme former regulations made by the Constitutional Government; but as they are entirely of a local nature, they possess no interest to the English reader. These papers contain no intelligence from Brazil. We are happy to find the Ministers continuing to re lieve the Statute Book of some absurd laws, which in a less enlightened age were enacted. Last night, in the House of Conim(ins, Mr. Luenitioron obtained leave to bring in a Bill to repeal the ridiculous and vexa tious laws relating to Hides and Skins, by which, if a butcher in flaying the skin made a hole in it, he was not only punished by the depreciation of the value of the hide, but by a heavy fine for his carelessness or want of skill. The Statute Book wants an epuiation of this sort, and w e are glad to see Ministers persevering in it. We were never among those who thought the French crusade against Spain calculated to restore permanent tranquillity to that benighted country. In vain have the French journalists cried out peace when there was no peace, and they are now compelled to acknowledge that party rancour is -as violent as ever, and that the presence of the invading force is necessary to preserve quiet even in the capital. The accounts from Spain in the latest French journals give a melancholy picture of the state of party feeling in that unhappy country. At Seville and Cordova, a number of persons, known for their attachment to the Constitutional cattle, have been barbarously massacred by the fanatical party. At the latter place a project was formed for a general massa cre of the Constitutionalists ; and the 19th of March, being the day of the feast of Sr. Joseph, was appointed for the perpetration of this horrible deed. The plot, however, was happily, in a great degree, unsuccessful, as the Papers inform us that ten persons only fell vie• rims to the steel of the murderers. At Seville, twenty persons imprisoned for political offences have been murdered. By the accounts from Valencia, it does not appear that any assassinations have been perpetrated there; but the Exaltados (the Church and Royalist party) had thrown into dungeons a great number of individuals, distinguished for their wealth and station in society. These most horrid accounts are given in the Madrid Papers, which are reluctantly compelled to take notice of the alarming state of the three above mentioned cities. The decree of amnesty is again spoken of—as being delayed. On the 31st of last month, the French ttoops garrisoning Madrid were relieved by a corps of Spaniards ; but the former resumed their duty on the next day, it not being considered safe tp trust the garrison to the care of the national troops. It is ex pected that FERDINAKD will reside at Aranjuez for se veral months. The intelligence from Spain via Bayonne, to the 6th instant, is of the same character as that in the French Papers. An affray has taken place at Puycerda, be- tween a party of Spanish Royalists and a corps of French troops,who came to take possession of the place. The S,panlards forcibly resisted this measure, and the result was an action, in which some blood was spilt.— The French troops whose departure from Madrid bas been often alluded to, are, it seems, still to remain there, it nut being thought advisable to lose the protection v. - .::h they afford both to the Government and people.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex pre sided. There were also present— Lord Binning, Mr. Secretary Canning, Sir James Mackintosh, General 'Corner, Sir R. Ferguson, Sir Peter Laurie, Mr. Downfe, N. P. Dr. M orr i son, Chinese Missionary ; and several other Gen tlemen of distinction. After the cloth was removed, Benedietns, the Win chester grace, was sung by Messrs. BROADIIVIIST, Gout- DEN, PHILLIPS, and Master Smurn. The Royal CHAIR MAN then gave— " The King, Got, bless him ;" three time, three. " The Duke of York, and the rest of the Iloval " The Navy and Army." Mr. Secretary CANNING rose and said, that the ar rangements of the evening imposed upon him the pleasing duty of proposing to the company the health of their illustrious and Royal Chairman. His cares had not been confined to this Society alone; but he was cons vinced that they would be the prouder of this, rather than jealous of not monopolising the whole of his pa tronage. His Royal Highness possessed many claim.. upon II cir gratitude and affection. The son of George the Thi:d could not be indgFs: ent to the diffusion of e ligion—(Losd cheers). The brother of George the Fourth could not be insensible to the affectisns of Scot land. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by pro posing the health of their Royal President, the Duke of Sussex—(lt(7pin; ow cheering). The Duke of SUSSEX, in returning thanks, begged first to express the gratification he felt at witnessing the numerous attendance on the present occasion ; it gave one courage to advocate the cause of the Charity, and it did honour to the exertions of the Stewards. lie felt indebted to the Right Honourable Secretary of State for the manner in which he introduced his name. his Royal Highness's object in every pursuit of life had been to preserve the links which connected the highest and the lowest classes at society. The old proverb said, that " charity began at home," and we best consulted our own interests by promoting the interests of those about us. As the Right Honourable Secretary had al luded to the affections of our most gracious Sovereign towards Scotland, he trusted that he might be allowed to express a hope, that ever since the grace of his Royal Father had conferred upon him his second title, he had not forgotten his duty to Scotland. He had often had occasion to address a Scottish assembly, and he had fre quently said, as he had declared upon one particular and interesting occasion before Flora Macdonald's son, that he considered the political offence of the Highlanders a venial offence. They had shewn that if Charles came amongst them defenceless, that was a sufficient motive for them to stand up and defend him ; and for this feel ing he honoured them. His Royal Highness then en tered into a history of the Society, with its objects and advantages, which he advocated with much zeal and ability, and concluded by proposing "Prosperity to the I nsti tut ion"—(Applause). His Royal 1-highness called upon Mr. Broadhurst to sing John Anderson, my Joe, John, which that Gentle man sang accordingly, in a very delightful manner. The Royal Duke then rose and said, it was his duty and pleasure to remat k, that the Right Honourable Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, who had been hitherto an alien to them, had come forward to lend his support to this Institution ; thus devoting the few moments which remained to him from business to ob jects of philanthropy—a circumstance which must afford gratificatign to every well-wisher of his country. He did not. observe that his name was amongst the list of Vice-Presidents ; but he hoped Lis name would soon be there. As many as wc:c of that opinion (that is be in serted in the list of Vice-Presidents) would say, " Aye." (There was a burst of acclamation, and a cry of" Hi Royal Highness concluded by proposing " the health of the Right Honourable George Canning, one o. then Vice-Presidents." (Long continued cheerk). Mr. CANNING, in returning thanks, did not know whether to feel more indebted to the Royal President for the manner in which he had proposed his name, ear to the assembly, for the manner in which they had re ceived it. He came amongst them as a stranger—he would not say an alien, for lie was afraid of reviving a discussion which had taken place elsewhere, although his Royal Highness seemed to take a malicious pleasuic in chewing him how aliens were received amongst them. He had iieser been in Scotland, but still he wars not an alien to Scotland ; he was now incorporated amongst the Officers of their Society. The Right Honourable Secretary then expressed his happiness at having suc ceeded to the administration in time of peace, instead of hostility, and concluded by again returning thanks. —(Loud applause.) The Royal Chairman then proposed— " Lord Binning, and the Nobility of Scotland." Lord BINNING returned thanks. His Royal Highness, in a complimentary speech, pro posed— , " The health of Sir James Mackintosh and the Vice-Presidents." Sir JAMES, in returning thanks, alluded to the happy effects of this free Constitution, owing to which mem bers of all classes and all parties were collected toge ther, without foregoing a jot of their own opinion , ,. a native Highlander, he felt the greatest rride in be holding a member of that family whose throne was founded on liberty—at seeing the most eloquent Minis ter of the Crown, of whom he could say, even in his presence, that he was trusted by his friends as then most potent advocate, and respected by his opponents as the man whom they would have chosen for their head ; to say that seeing them come forward now afforded him • pleasure, would haxdiy express his fceling3 on the sub ject. The lion. and Leatned Gentleman then pro flounced an eloquent appeal on behalf of the charity. " Proeperity to the City of liondon."—"l h- Church of Scotlantl." o The Rev. Mr. WATsos; returned thanks, and entered into number statement the recessity extendin g ; the fschool t s. o shew " Sir Peter Laurie, the new Knight; and may he long enjoy his newly acquired honours."—Sir Prraa returned thanks. Mr. CANNING, in a short complimentary speech, pro posed the health of Alajo: - -General Turner. • The gallant General, in retaining thanks, congratu lated his country on the interest which the Royal Chair man evinced on behalf of the Institution; and on. the union of two great political rivals in its cause. The next tu3st was—" Mr. Llounie, np." who returned thanks; and sang Maegy Lawler. It was followed Sy " The Minister , : of the Church of Scotland," The Secretaries," " The Land of Cakes, and " The Stewards." The Royal Duke then left the chair, and retired amidst loud plaudits; which were redoubled, and accompanied by a buzz; as Mr. Canning passed out. • hirJAZILI Idsccurrosn presided for the remainder of the evening. Letters from Monte "Video, of Jan. 12, received yes terday, merely state that the Portuguese troops were embarking for Lisbon, and that they woald rll leave Monte Video by the end of the :nonth. COURT OP CHANCERY-THIS DAy. MARRIAGE OF A WARD. This morning the LORD CHANCELLOR hearvl -in his private room the case of Mr. Robinson, who bad run away with and mat vied A young Lady of huge fortune, and who is a ward of the Court, the particulars of which we have already detailed. Mr. Putt.I.IMORF. and Mr. HART were the Counsel w!•o attended for the parties. The Gentleman undertook not to remove the young Lady out of the jurisdiction of the Court, to go before the Master to make such a settlement on the Lady and her issue as the Master shall direct, and to appear in Court to abide its judgment when called upon for that purpose, which the LORD CHANCELLOR ordered itCg cordiugly. IN THE MATTER OF DUDI.F.Y AND Frame. Mr. l - Intt•r again brought this cause, in which pro per ty to the annarrit of between forty and fifty thousand pounds is locked up, befo're the Lord Chancellor, rut a motion to confirm the Master's report, and,for the conve nience of the family, to order the respective sums to be pad cut to the parties. The Gentleman for whom he now applied was one of the sons or the te'tator, and in his own right and that of a deceased brother, was en titled to a sum of £31,000. All the claims on the pro perty had been paid, and theref;.e l:e (Mr. Hart) was not aware that any objection coule arise. The LnliD CHANcELLon directed the order to i;:zue, as prayed for. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, APRIL 14. DICK V. FLETCHER. This was an action for breach 4 promise of marriage, and it excited very universal interest. The Court was crowded with anxious auditors—many of them fashion ably dressed females. The plaintiff was the daughter of a dissenting Clergyman of Glasgow, and the defend ant is also a dissenting Clergyman, and the popular preacher of Moorfields. The plaintiff's case was con ducted by Mr. BROTRAI AM and Mr. WILDE; and Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. Gunxcv appeared for the defendant. —The cause was not called on until after much arrange ment among the Counsel ; and the Jury having been sworn, the pleadings were,opened by Mr. WILDE. Mr. BRUUOtIAM said—lt would have been my duty, my Lords, and G2ntlemen of the Juty, to have stated to you the circumstances of this most painful case, had it not been ;Or some communications that have taken place between me and my Learned Friends, the Coun sel for the defendant. Mr. ScARLETT having replied, a Juror was with drawn, and thus the case ended, vet)? much to the dis appointment of the Ladies. OLD BAILLY-THTS DAY. John Gibson, who was a few days since tried and ac quitted on an indictment charging him with a burglary in the dwelling-house of Dennis Doyle, was this day again put on his trial on an indictment, charging him with burglariouSly breaking and entering the dwelling house of Benjamin Blabv, the Thames Police officer, and stealing a quantity of goods, casks, exc. on the 2 . 21 of February. The evidence adduced did not go to the full length ' of bringing home the possession of the property to ti,e prisoner, in consequence of another person, named Wal ker, having slept in the same room, and the Jury gave him the benefit of the doubt, and fi'und him, tr ot Mr. ADOLPHUS said there was another indictment against the prisoner, for stealing a stock and a centre bit, the property of the E-sst India Company, but as the Jury had af:qe;tted him on the grounds above stated, he should destine taking up the time of the Court on that indictment, but proceed on another for receiving stolen goods with a guilty knowledge. Mr. ALLEY and Mr. linoott:cit opposed the proceed ing with the latter case, and an affidavit was put in, stating the absence of a very material witness. Considerable argument arose on this vestion, which was eventually put to rest by the Court prcceeding on the indictment for receiving the property of Dennis Doyle, well knowing the :ante to have been stolen. The evidence adduced wai merely a repetition of the testimony given on the former Mr.LAW submitted that there was not evidence to go to the Jury that the prisoner received the goods.—This was ov , Trilled, and theJaQ luund the priioner—GuilJy. Yesterday Willien: Nrog, aged 4.G, wd indicted for stealing a bundle, containing a variety of wearing appa rel and three sovereigns, the property of George Stratton. Partridge, an Officer of Whitechapel Police Office, stated, that he apprehended the prisoner, who was ac cused of stealing the property in question; the prisoner denied that his intention was to steal the property ; and stated, that Stratton being drunk, and incapable of taking care of it, he had taken the bundle to his lodgings, to which place the Officer proceeded, . and found it. Stratton went away, and had not since appeared. Ver dict—Not Guilty.—The Court expressed some surprise that the prisoner should have been prosecuted. James Sutton, aged 19, was capitally convicted, for stealing in a dwelling-house. Advices from Cartlagena (Colombia) to the 6th of February state, that the first steam-packet ever seen on the Magdalena had crossed the bar and catered the river. The first I.as , ,engers she conveyed up the river were Mr. Henderson, the British Consul, and his family, who embarked in her for Honda. They had been heard of from the town of Mompox, all well. The passage up the Magdalena, owing to the currents:and the perio dical swelling of the river, occupies from 40 to 50 days: it is calculated the steam-vessel will accomplish it in 14. Honda being only three days journey from Bogota, there Will then be requited only seventeen days to com municate bett:yeen the capital of Colombia and the Atlantic. The fircrit and FURY Discovery ships are rapidly preparing at Deptford for the Polar Expedition. Every precaution seems to hive been taken, that Comfort and ingenuity can devise, to render their suceesi complete.
