Tine it is that our cotem poralies have not had the candour to avow the source from which they derived their primary reasonings for the necessity of this solemn investigation: but let that pa s. We concur with them very heartily in opinion, tiat while the conduct of the great and powerful whose names ale assailed, should undergo the most rigorous scrutiny, not for a moment doubting that the result will pt ove honourable to themselves in by far the greater number of cases, and to the character of the nation at large, which is so deeply involved in that of its leading men, it is at the same time highly fit and necessary that the clandestine and hidden practices, in fine, the bye-play of the lesser performers in this iniquitous drama should also be exposed, uncurtained, to the gaze of public indignation ;—more especially those, it there be any such, connected with the Periodical P ess ; and we desire this the mote earnestly, as it will be seen in the sequel who they are that most disintetestedly take on them the arduous task of directing public opi n'on. But we ask how, and where is this investigation to be freely and fearlessly conducted, except within the wails of Parliament ? Certainly not in a Court of Law, nor before any other Judicial• Tribunal, whose attention i necessarily narrowed to the strict merits of the parti• calm- case at issue. The Morning Chronicle says, 41 the House of Com. mans date not enter upon such an enquiry, there being so many of their own number mixed up in the accu• sdion, whose influence would defeat and frustrate the ends of justice." This we pronounce a most audacious and unfounded calumny. There never was a period is our history, in which the Commons of England cont tined on its roll a greater portion of truly ho nourable and high-minded men, lifted far above all sordid views themselves, and above fear of exerci.ing their awful powers in punishing iniquity in others,— There are in their ranks men of unquestionable cou• rage, ability, and integrity, who will derive unfading h .noun in being the first to come forward to rescue their native land from the reproach of venality and fraud, which a few unworthy, corrupt, and rapacious indivi duals have conspired to fasten on its ancient ch tracter ; and foremost among those we doubt not to see the sery names which are now the most bandied about in the vulgar mouths as alders and abetters in the schemes which have brought miser y t,pon so many innoc nt farni miller. A parliamentary inquiry is, we are convinced, _inevitable. Scat cely a day passes in which we do not see among tl e ordinary details of our petty Police, complaints, w Welt scatter distrust and suspicion in quarters which we have been accustomed to revere. The stupid an infatuated Share-holders clamour loudly to have back their slakes from the nest of gamblers by whom they have been duped, and they never fail to drag forward names of such respectability and eminence in the public councils, and in the higher official classes, as caniiot, we should think, in any rational probability, hive lent themselves R~f as covers for fraud ; neither is it pos-Able now to scten them from enquiry. Ham:Hirable men neither can nor• will c msent to sit on the same benches with persons implicated in charges of ven%:ity, until their innocence And integrity shall, not by their own mete denial,.blit positive testimony, have been made as manifest to the world as the base accusations under which they now labour ate notorious. ~: ~+ I h 11,1, ~._1 4.,,,, . A___:A ,S ( i Sj ))k• 9 \ 6 DREADFUL FIRE A r MIRAMICHL Halifax Papers to the 20th of October were this f.,renoon received at the North and South American Coffee-house. They contain an account of the dread ful fire at Miramic'i, New Brunswick. It appears to have been occasioned by a fire in the woodi. Thirty homes and thirty.nine barns were destroyed, and we regret to have to add, that two hundred persons are said to have perished in the flames. The followi:g ac conitt of this lamentable event is fr: m ore of the Hali fax Papers: _ _ _ HALIFAX. OCTOBER 19. A most painful duty this day devolves on us, that of recording a dire calamity which has befallen the Province of New Brunswick, involving multitudes in death or ruin, and visited a large extent of country with desolation. Thursday last, a verbal account was received of the conflagration which has taken place at Fredericton, by which thirty houses aril thirty-nine barns were consumed, caused by a fire in the woods adjacent to that town, and a rumour at the same time prevailed, that some of the back settlements had experienced a similar fate ; but while anxiety was on the stretch for correct information from Fredericton, the intelligence of the disaster at Miramiclti arrived. All the accounts received, describe the rapidity of the fismes to have been such as to preclude the possibility of saving property to any extent : so instatwous were the effects of the fire, that many per sons who were saved MO* their preservation to the vicinity of the river, into which they threw themselves, and were taken out by boats. Two hundred persons, in the vicinity of Miramichi alone, perished in the flames; and the loss of lives in the interior of the forests, where escape was impossible, must have been immenre. What renders the event more affecting is, that the survivors are many of them dreadfully mutilated, and the sick and dying can no longer obtain shelter from the severity of the weather. Upon the receipt of the mail with the intelligence on Saturday afternoon, great gloom and anxiety was felt. Sunday morning a meeting of the inhabitants took place, and resolutions were passed, when pro visions, and other articles for the relief of the sufferers,, were sent to the stores of Messrs. Cams and Mltcust.; a subscription was also opened at the meeting, by which was obtained 2,0001. Vessels were dispatched with provisions, and others with clothing, and sailed this afternoon for 11iramichi. Most distressing accounts have been received from Jamaica during the last week, that the fever has made the most destructive ravages; such was the dread inspired, that the regiments were ordered to leave the town, and encamp in a more healthy situation. The French Papers of Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, have reached us, the latter by Express, Extracts from them will be found in another column. Mr. HUSKISSON'S visit to Paris has supplied food for the French Journalists and politicians. Some of the latter seem to have been alarmed lest that able states man should cause as great a revolution in the commerce as he once witnessed in the political state of France. The French politicians seem to say—" They that have turned the world (of commerce) upside down, have come here also." Some of the French Journalists have, how ever, the sense to see, and the liberality to ackn. wledge, the excellence of our commercial system ; and the Con stitutionnel even states, that M. Vit.t.sLx admitted the principles developed by Mr. Husatssow to be perfectly just ; but stated that they were impracticable in France, in consequence of the prejudices in favour of the ex isting system, which compelled the Deputies to submit to the despotism of local interest. It is even said, that an influential Member of the French Cabinet being hard pressed by Mr. Husaissos, frankly told him— " What can we do? If we act as we ought to do, we shall endanger our political existence. The mere !owning of the duty on Iran, for instance, would make us lose the elections in most of the De, at tments; for iron masters are at the head of the revolutionary demo cracy, and we are obliged to manage as we can with all kinds of interests in order not to compromise our own." Mr. HUSEISSON, adds the Constilutionne/, "smiled with pity at this singular confession, and set off for England with a very pour opinion of a Ministry which lies at the mercy of every individual pretension, and is not strong enough to he national." One of the French Papers, the Journal des Deals, states, that the firt act of the new Spanish Ministry has been, to demand the recall of the French troops. Whether this is the case, or the hint is merely thrown out as an acceptable proposal to the French Ministry, time will determine. Frankfort Papers to the 2d inst. reached us this morning; they corroborate the accounts from Greece in the French Papris,so far as relates to Imams( PAcua having had several en gagements with the Greeks. and burning Mistia. The garrison of Hydra is said to be five thousand strong. These Papers contain an account of the capture of some Greek mistics by the Austrian •essels. A vessel which had arrived on the 19th of October atTrieste, in thirty-two days from Alexandria, in Egypt, brings word that the Egyptian fket, consisting of a hundred sail of men of war and transports, was only waiting for a good wind to put to sea. This fleet has also fifteen fire ships, and two steam boats. Letters an I Pdpers from Nletico have been received to the 7th of September. The city was suffering from measles, starlet fever, and dysentery. Public affairs were in a perfectly tranquil state. The revenue was improving fast, and the customs in particular, were much exceeding the estimates presented to Con• gress in the Session of January last. The accounts from the Mining districts continued to increase in interest with the increase in the extent of the operations thete.— Iron bad been discovered at Guanaxuato, and was about to be winked for the use of the mines. The experiments of smelting the ores had been successful as far as they bad been tried, and it was expected that, in a short time, they would supersede the old process of amalgamation by quicksilver. By the Sol of the 20th of August, we find that the Editor of a journal called the Philanthropist had been banished from the Mexican Republic for publishing the Porn's encyclic letter without the permission of the Executive Government. Thus, the authority of the Tiara is not only despised and resisted by a Protestant Sovereign, like the King of the Nrrutaxatins, but by a Catholic I Government, like that of Mexico, when it attempts to interfere in - -,-,. - ~.. ---- - ~. temporal matters. In the Latter case, the sev;rity o f the cig: 1 power was, perhaps, even carried too far, isi not only condemning the doctrine of:the POPS. but punishing the inadvertence of his agent—especially when it is considered that the Government itself (with a boldness which did it honour, and abewed its poecure reliance on its own power) afterwards published the obnoxious document with a counteracting commentary. Letters from Guatemala to the latter part of August have also been received, but do not supply any intelligence of importance. In another page we have given an account of the Haytian Loan which has been contracted for in Paris. We under stand iris not intended to negociate any portion of it in London.

The 21st J.ily last, at nine in the evening, a se vere shock of an earthquake was felt in the town of Pavloesk, in Russia.

Soon aster the death of NELSON, a man in the fleet who was ordered to pipe attempted to comply, but failed in bring. ing opt the shrill tone; his Commander, astonished, again asked him to pipe, upon which Le made another attempt, but still unable to do it, the poor fellow threw down his pipe and burst into tears, exclaiming " Poor Nelson's dead—l cannot pipe !—Goo bless him; malty a bard battle have I fought with him, and many a dreadful storm have I weathered with him, but he's done at last— Goo bleu him for ever." It appears by the following extract from a letter fr, , m an Officer employed in the interior of India, that a terii , us disturbance has broken out in a portion of the Company's possessions, situate about 300 miles E N.E. from Bombay: " %awe nr&a MOSSIRRIAD , APRIL 6, 1825.—A serious a ff air his occurred at Buhrtpore. It seems that the uncle of the young Rajah whom Sir David Ochterlony placed on the throne, has had a dispute with his Prime Minister, which was provoked by the restless ambitious views of the Minister, who would attempt to circumscribe the rightful authority of the young Rajah. 'The cot-- sequence has been that a number of the Minister's followers have already been sacrificed. The King's 11th Dragoons,l6th Lancers, the 14th and 59th Regiments, and NT ative Corps from Delhi, Cawnpore, Muttra, Agra, and Misseerabad, are ordered to assem .ble at ruhrtpore immediately, with the Artillery from Agra and part from Museerabad.
