.. ~~~ last few days an extraordinary sitting, to which the e new Intendant of Polite, M. Sallee, was invited. The' grave matter proposed was, to hinder the Count de Santa Coloma, a Spanish Grandee of the first class, from receiving company in the evening—which com pany is composed - of persons of both sexes of the first rank in the town, and who have made it a rule not to utter a single word of politics on these occasions. The Intendant of Police declined interfering, from his fear of offending the French Generals and superior Officers who frequent the house of Count Santa Coloma. The assas,ii.ations in the unfortunate Province have not vet ceased, nor will they cease . until a dozen of Alcades and Curates shall be made examples of by the law— the former for permitting such murders, and the latter for exciting the wretched and besotted populace to their commission. To give you some idea of the im mense number that take place, I shall instance one little village named Sarrahoja, where, during the last year, fifty persons have been assassinated."

The report was wholly with:tut foundation, as no such advices wet e received. • There has scarcely been a day, within the List few weeks, that we have not had the painful duty to detail the miseries caused on the Continent by the late inun dations; we have now the more pleasing task of an nouncing that a subscription has been opened for the relief of the sufferers, who are upwards of fifty thou sand in number. Mr. ROTHSCHILD, with that spirit of benevolence which distinguisLes his whole life, has been the first to step forward in this gcod work, with a sub scription of £100; to which his amiable Lady (to whom • Wealth has no attractions but as a means of doing good), iris added f.. 50. We are sure the British Public will second their efforts. Considerable discussion has taken place as to the Utility of printing Bibles for the Irish, in their native language, which has been adopted by the Bible Society. There is no doubt, we believe, that the Irish language is rather oral than written, and that, numerous as the persons are that can speak it, there are few among the peasants of Ireland that can read it with facility. Dean Swat., whose sincere attachment to Ireland, and wish to promote her interests, no one will question, was so far from wishing to encourage the native dialect that he proposed to abolish it, as the best means of pro moting the ci, ilization of the inhabitants. In a work published on this subject, entitled " Answer to Letters flow unknown hands," the Dean thus expresses himself on tlie subject : " It would be a noble achievement to abolish the Irish langua in this kingdom, so far at !cast as to oblige all the natives to speak only English on every occasion of business, in shops, markets, fairs, and other places of dealing : yet I am wholly deceived if this might not be effectually done in less than half an age, and at a very trilitng expense; for such I look upon a m i x to Le of only Xe,ooo a year, to accomplish to great a work. This would, in a gnat measure, civilize the most barbarous among them, reconcile them to our customs and manner of living, and reduce great numbers to the national re ligion, whatever kind may then happen to be estableied. This me. thod is ploin and simple; and, although I am too dezponding to produce it, yet I could heartily wish some public thoughts were employed to reduce this uncultivated people from that idle, savage, Ir-astty, thievish rummer of life, in which they continue Sunk to a degree that it is almost impossible for a country Gentleman to find aservant of htguau capacity, or the least tincture of natural honesty, or who does not live among his own tenants in continual fear of having his plantations destroyed, his cattle stolen, and his goods pilfered." How true a picture of a portion of Ireland, a century later, has the Dean thus drawn. By the arrival of a Lisbon Mail this morning, we have received a file of Gazettes, from the 13th to the 20th ultimo inclusive. They contain no news from Brazil, except what is extracted_ from the English journals, and the Diario Fluminense of Rio, and other Brazil Papers: the latest news they have is the submis sion of Pernambuco. On several of these articles re marks are made, tending to place the situation of Brazil in an unfavourable light. The following are the obser •ations on a notice issued by the Minister of Marine at Rio de Janeiro, to the effect that in consequence of the want of seamen for the Imperial Naty, it was -necess try to employ slaves, &c. in consequence of which, such persons as had slaves who might be ti for a seafaring I life, were called+opon to Aill them &the dovettiment i o I forthat perpose: _ • In another.:part oar Paper we friascrlbe an edict' of the Intendant of the Marine at Rio de Sisheiro, which chews the means 05 which that country has recourse to recruit its navy. We whoare well acquainted with the strength of that country, yet in its infancy, With the most scanty population, in proportion to its extent, of any on the surface of the globe, and consequently the weakest in relation to force, cannot but deplore the Finns there resorted to, of teaching the use of arms to their slaves, and ,associating therii in their military en terprises. Let Brazil prepare to receive one day the reward of this political blindness. If its present weak ness obliges it to recur to its slaves to support its un grateful and impolitic revolution, how much More pre carious will its situation be when its slaves, having learned the use of arms, shall make use of them not only to Tlaim their liberty, but also to dictate the LW), since they form in Brazil the basis of the population ? they outnumberthe whites as tp - oto one, and form the labouring and agricultural classes. 44 For asountry so constituted to provoke a war, is the height of infatuation. Whence are they to recruit their losses, if in the first preparations to arm a little squa . drop, they are obliged to have recourse to the purchase of Slaves? And what Valour or patriotis'm can be ex pected from these wretches, in opposition to our brave seamen ; especially when the Staves know that their ' liberty depends rather on the capture of their ships, than on their victory ?" There is certainly some truth in these remarks ; but it is not likely that any great number of Slaves will be employed in the Brazilian Army or Navy ; and it is to be hoped that the Government will adopt measures to convert the Slaves into subject:, and thus give them an interest in its support,-and in the defence of the country.' There does not appear to be the slightest effort making in Lisbon, to regain authority in Brazil, except by dis quisitions in the Gazelles. The Bishop of VISEU has published a Pastoral Letter in favour of the subscription fur the benefit of the emi grants from Brazil. The following are extracts: LISBON, NOVEMBER 14. The Ambassador of his Most Christian Majesty hav ing resolved to have a solemn service performed, for his late Majesty Louis XVIII. the French Church of St. Louis was fitted up with the magnificence suit able to this pious ceremony, which took place esti the 10th of this month .. The king was pleased to honour it With his presence,•and came the preceding evening from Mafra, to the Palace of Bemposta. His Majesty, ss ith the Irtfantas, his daughters, proceeded at noon to the Church, at the door of which they were received by the Amba;sa:lor and Atribassadress, the French Consul, and the Chaplain. The Diplomatic Body also carte to meet his Nlajesty. Mass was celebrated by the Papal I I Nuncio, as,•isted by four Bishops. The whole was very affecting. By accounts from Havannah to the 23d ult. we I 'earn that no late piracies had been committed on that side of the Island. The United States' ship Hornet al rived at Havannah on the ,16th October, having on hoard the Si apish Gcneral Thrum, who was to be tried by a Court Aloitial. The political state of the Island remained unsettled, and his Excellency the Cap tain-General had given orders to the Captain of the Port to band him in all the newspapers from the United States for his perusal, previous to their being pub licly circulated. The Officers of the Pilice were active in bringing forward many of the disaffected for imprisonment. Large quantities of sugar for the Peninsula had been purchased, and the prices weie,high. —The new tariff* was to take effect on the Ist December, and was much disliked by the commercial interest. 03 all vessels touching at Havannah, even in distress, it was to be strictly enforced. At Nlatanzlis the stock of sugar was small, and an advance was anticipated.— Coffee was a mete drug in the market, and the new Crop was very abundant. The brig Franklin arrived at Havannah on the 22d of October, having on bard part of the crew of the French ship Uranie, from il4Vre, bound these, which ship had been captured by a Colom bian privateer, and sent into one of their poi ts. Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, the first Cabinet Council s:ncr the Prorogation of Parliament was held at the Secre tary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs, which was very nume misty attended for the season of the year.

The King and Q'teen of DENMARK, and PRINCE linvar., gave private audiences at the Palace of Copenhagen, en the sth ultimo, to WILLIAM Rae WILSON, Esq. Author of Travels us Turkey, Greece, &c. Mr. OWEN, who has arrived at New York, made an exposition, on the Gth of November, of the outline of the improve ments which he thinks it both practicable and in the highest degree beneficial to introdup into the present system of human society. Mr. Chvsn (says the Ncw York 'kw icon) intends to submit his plans to Congress. • We learn from authority, on which we can place the very greatest reliance, that all the :matters at issue between the Govertment and the Canada Company, have been. finally adjusted. on terms which cannot fail to be highly advantageous both to the Company and the Colony. It is now finally determined that the four Commissioners shall take their departure on the 17th December. A Montreal Paper of the 27th of October states, that the Commissioners appointed by the British and American Go.. vernments, for establishing the boundary line between the United States and the territories of his Majesty in North America, met at the Exchange Coffee-House, to make the necessary arrangements, on the Monday preceding. Monday last, the Duke of GORDON paid his first visit to the ancient estate of Dorris, on Deeside, to the possession of which he entered on that day, as heir of entail, after a long pro tracted litigation, in reducing a lease that would have completely deprived him and the other substitutes, of the management of the • property for nearly a century to come. ~__~~. -•- - • THE ARMY. the 7th RegidMot of Foot marched from Chatham to er.

The greatest activity continues to prevail In the department of the Director of the Ordnance Survey at the Drawing-room, Tower, ,preparatory to the commencement of the Survey of Ireland in the spring. The Direitor, accompanied by a subaltern of his corps, recently travelled entirely through Ireland, taking points, &c. for the distribution of his numerous party.

MRS.

Yesterday morning, hm.. ever, the fact was communicated tl her, in the w., which her friends considered would add the least to her already harrowed feelings. We are given to u del stand that the communication was made by letter, from a Gentleman who has all along taken a deep terest in the fate 4.f her unfortunate rtashand, as well in that of Mrs. FAUNTLEROY ani her son. This done about ten o'dock yesterday morning. This lett, r was also accompanied by one from her rm. Mt,.

Saturday was appointed, at the Pack Horse and Tarr: bot, Turaham-green, for the letting tlfe tolls for oi.e year of the Hammersmith and Slialberry Green turn.; pike gates, which, contrary to former custom, were put up separately. Mr. GEORGE ROBLIS, the auctioneer, who is a Commissioner of the Trust, was nnaninvosly called to the Chair.—Mr. Levi, the present lessee, de clared that, at a reduced toll, he could no longer give the enormous tental he hitherto had done.—Mr.lioams quoted the Act of Parliament, which made it imperative the putting up of the gates at the rental of the weeding }ear; they then produced 9.9101. After some discus sion, it was decided, in separating them, to put np the Hammersmith Gate at 7,9101. and Smallberry Gate at 2,0001. The ft:it mer was bought in at that sum; fur the latter,2,4lol. was bid, but it was deemed imprudent to separate them, and the sale was adjourned. Yesterday, a man named Smart, a sawyer, was re manded, at Worship-street Office, charged with killing another sawyer named Smith, on Monday evening, is a public house squabble, at Kingsland. The following instance of the extraordinary rise which has taken place in the va:ue of farming stock, 'nifty be depended upon. A farmer in a western count), having, in the autumn of 1822, a quantity of ewes which he wished to dispose of, took them for that purpose to a neighbouring fair ; but being offered only 7s. a lead for them, he was reluctantly com pelled to drive them home aggin. Each ewe has since produced him two lambs, which he has sold upon an average fur 15s. a piece; and a few weeks ago he sold the ewes themselves at the same place for 275. each, to the very person who had offered him the first named price. An Inquest was yesterday held at the Turf Tap, on the body of Miss Elizabeth Childs. It appeared that, on Friday evening last, a Mrs. Keeble and the de ceased were returning from London, in a one-horse chaise to Fulham, where Mrs. Keeble lived, when, on passing through Hyde-park-corner turnpike-gate, something frightened the horse, which became restive, and ran with the utmost speed towards Knightsbridge. The deceased fainted, became insensible, and fell out. The horse still continued its speed, and was stopped near Great Sloane-street. The deceased was SO years of age.—The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Accidental Death. MARY-LA-Boaxt.—Mr. Pollard, cabinet-maker, of Howland. street, was charged with the following gross assault. The com plainant, Mr. Bailey, stated, that he was the Collector of the Water Rates for the West Middlesex Company, and bad yes terday called to demand payment of three quarters rates, which the defendant was in arrear. He was at first told to call again, but on-his remonstrating with him a little, and urging a present settlement, Mr. Pollard observed, " Well, come this way, ' walk* ing cowards a back room, " I am not goiag to pay you with out a proper receipt ; it is complete extortion to take mosey such as you give • I'll thew you how to make out aproper receipt. Deponent accordingly went into the back parlour, where Mr. POI' lard left hint, as he thought, to get the money ; he returned in a few minutes, with a large bawl filled with slush of the filthiest kind. which he threw all over his face and clothes, excLdining, " There, that's the way to give a receipt." The defendant justified himself by stating, that the complainant had no business to come on his pientises.—Mr. liavrculson told him he had no business to use other than gentle force to remove him, and called upon him to End bail. One of the Directors of the Company stated, that the able would be certainly carried by them to the Quarter Sessions. • . • . The sUPI Da l I'4l ••••• I ate I%i In try hii the the col A II -a
