t is for this reason that we protest against the notion, of the policy of a separation from Canada ; grievances exist there, it is true, but they ought to be carefully and fully allayed ; the Houses of Assembly should be put into good humour, and the grants for religious pur poses should be fairly distributed among all the sects, and little dissatisfaction will exist at our Government. The more important these dominions are, the greater should be the anxiety to smooth over dissensions, by complying as far as practicable with the wishes of the Colonial Legislatures. The following Letter has been received from the Agent to the North and South American Coffee House, rlzted Buenos Ayres, April 20. We are anxiou,ly waiting the arrival of the Heron sloop of war, from Rio Janeiro, to decide our fate either for peace or war in the interior. Rumour is very busy ;n Buenos Ayres, and many think that peace is yet -di , tant. The markets are somewhat upon the advance, doublooni 43 dollars. Exchange upon England has fallen from 23i to 19d. Mr. Fraser (attached to the British Legation at Rio Janeiro) arrived here on the 11th instant, having had an interview with the Imperial and Republican Generals in Rio Grande (Lecor and Savallage) ; he departs this day in the packet for Rio Janeiro. Nothing has transpired rela tive to his, mission. The Imperial army is in a sad state, and its Commander, Lecor, a consummate - master of intrigue—iihich,weapon he will use both with the British mediators and his Republican foes. In fact, a petition hasbeen got up at Monte Video, signed by the Magistrates and others, soliciting the Emperor to con tinue the war, in order that the province may not be severed from Brazil, and this will be put forth as the opinions of the people; but a trick so stale and misera ble will hardly deceive any one. The Republican army in Rio Grande consists of about 7,000 men, mostly cavalry and good artillery : be assured they are not the rabble, which their opponents denominate them. The Brazilian Army is stated to be about 8,000 men : they are inferior to their opponents in cavalry, but their infantry is tar superior. The distresses in the mercantile world still continue, and manufactured goods are nearly at peace price, and no sales can be effected." A Buenos Ayres and Brazil Mail arrived this morn ing, and brings Papers from the former place to the Loth April. and from Rio to the 19th May, being eight days later than the intelligence we gave yesterday from that quarter. According to the different statements in the papers, ks well as in private letters, the prospect of peace between the two Powers appears to be as remote as ever ; under these ciicumstantes trade was entirely at a stand, and the Exchange at Buenos Ayres had fallen t 3 19d. and at Rio to 3011 —The following are extrac ts : BUENOS AYRES, Amu. S. We learn by accounts from the Banda Oriental, that all the inhabitants who had been misled to follow Don Fructuoso Rivera, seeing their error, had abandoned him and returned to their homes ; that he had only 80 or 90 men left, and was vigorously pursued by Colonel o.ibe and Lieutenant Colonel Lavalleja;Ahat the whole Province, and especially the army, detested the con duct of Rivera, so that it had happily not produced the evils that were apprehended. The loan cf two million of dollarslom the Bank h ss been finally approved by the Chamber of Represents tines, in the following form : a The Bank to advance two millions without interest. " The Bank to be allowed to issue 300,000 dollars Per month, in addition to its present circulation. These 300,000 dollars to be delivered to the Go . wArient till the two millions are completed. "The remainder of the receipts of Customs not otherwise to be pledged, to be the security for this loan. " Six months after the conclusion of peace, the Board of Customs to pay monthly to the Bank 300,000 dollars, tall the two millions are tepaid." APRIL 9.—A courier from the army of operations arrived last night. Among other news, we learn that General Lavalleja, in his interview with Mr. Fraser, merely replied to his communications, that the Govern ment, which directed the war and the foreign relations, was alone, qyalified to decide in this business, much more when the basis of peace had already beets stipu lated. Mr. Framer therefore set out on the 2d instant for this city, accompanied by M. Gelli. APRIL 11.—The Como contains some official coos. munications respecting the foundation of a new estab 14hmeni, by order of the Government of Bahia Blanca, en the new frontier line, the only point, and the most important that remained yet to be settled, the fats of La Fedtracion, Cruz de Guerra, and Laguna Blanca, being . in a very forward state. This new settlement, it is said, is to be called Nueva Buenos Ayres. APRIL 14.:—An official letter from General Laval leja, dated head quarters, in El Cerro Largo, 3d April, gives an account of the defeat and dispersion of the force under F:-Rivera, who was pursued to the llaimar. The Correo gives. an account of some skirmishing on the 12th between Admiral. Brown and the Brazilian squadron, which ended without any important result. Admiral Brown says in his letter, " the enemy, not ssithstanding their superiority, retreated in disorder under the corer of the night ; but, disregarding their auarber and force, I incommoded them in a manner which they did not expect. On our part we had not the smallest casualty : the Captains, Officers, and crews, behaved as they always do."—Correo of Buenos Ayres, Ap r il 16. RIO DE JANEIRO, Mar 17. DICKIES. " It being urgently necessary to reform the ancient regimental laws which are still in force in the Custom Houses Di' this Empire, I do hereby nominate a Com. /twee, composed of seven members according to the list herewith signed by the Minister of Finance, for the, organization, wi;h all possible dispatch, of a project of commercial regulations for the Custom Houses, in con fortuity with the actual state of commerce, which I much desire to promote, and the method of etaaiilg , the duties which they may judge most simple and se cute.

The Committee will take as a basis for th e value of the different goods and merchandise the medium of their prime cost in the country from whence they are exported, with the addition of ten per cent. and their Value in the market of Brazil. 2. The Committee will discontinue the method of arranging the Tariff alphabetically, classifying the goods and merchandise in the manner they think most easy and exact. 3. The Committee to meet once every week in the Public Treasury. (The Editor of the Rio Herald makes various ani. madversions on the preceding Decree, s. hich he declares to be unjust and unreasonable, and more likely to injure the subjects of Brazil than to promote the interests of the revenue.) MAY 17._Peace with Buenos Ayres is now gene rally believed to be distant: nay, if we can take the British Packet as a criterion of feeling of that Republic, peace may never be expected. It would appear the Republic of the United Provinces of the River Plate will not accept as a basis, any thing less than the liberation and freedom of the Banda Oriental-..and even this as a basis, the Emperor of Brazil must consi der that they are conferring a favour upon him. - They have purchased several brigs and schooners, which were fitting out as privateers, with the view of destroying Brazilian commerce, to oblige Brazil to accept of what ever terms Buenos Ayres deigned to offer.—Drazil Papers to May 18. THE CLARE ELECTION. No information of the result of Vie election was re ceived at the Committee Room up to the hour of our PPper•going to Press. By this morning's Post a letter was received by the Committee from Mr. Dwyer, of Dublin, in which he mentions the receipt of a letter franked by Mr. O'Connell, and which Prink was ac knowledged by the Dublin Post Office. The Committee state, that it is Mr. O'Connell's in tention, when he arrives in Lohdon, to obtain the best legal advice as to the course he ought to pursue. He will do nothing rashly. His arrival is expected this week. FROM THE FREEMAN'S JOURNAL, MONDAY, JULY 7. One thousand and ninety-one was the majority for Mr. O'Connell at the close of the poll on Friday evening. On the following morning the regular process of that election was interrupted by the presentation of a protest against the return of Mr. O'Connell,which was presented by a number of the Gentlemen who had supported Mr. Fitzgerald. This protest was grounded on the alleged disqualification of Mr. O'Connell by his religion. It led to very learned and lengthened legal arguments ; but the Sheriff's assessor decided that Mr. O'Connell must be returned as duly elected. This judgment was pronounced at half past two on Saturday ; and as Mr. O'Connell did not intend to keep the booths longer, it was understood the election would finally terminate this evening, which it did, and Mr. O'Connell was returned duly elected. Mr. O'Connell's franks were dispatched by the last mail from Ennis. CATNOLIC RENT.

Yesterday the principal artisans of the trade, in cluding a considerable portion of those employed by his Majesty's Board of Works, and some of the fi rst houses in London, to the amount of upwards of 100 persons, assembled, at the house of Mr. Henry Dalton, the Black Lion, Baysw,ter, to celebrate their anniversary dinner. At three o'clock, the dinner was served up in must excellent style, including all the rarities of the season. After the cloth was withdrawn, Mr. David Colbeck, the Chair. man, spoke,as follows— Gentlemen—You have dignified me with the highest situation, and the most grateful to my heart. Since his present Majesty ascended the throne of these realms, he has held out his fostering hand to the encouragement of the arts and sciences : he has been theii protector, and has raised them by his support to the proud beighth they have attained. Look at the splendid edifices erected during the short time he has held the sway of,the em. pire; will they not immortalize his name for the benefits conferred on us and our fellow *Mama Most assuredly they will. Have you not cause among yourselves to confess that many who possessed talents beyond a common hireling still might have remained a , such, had not the fostering band of Majesty encouraged such works as have eventually rewarded talents that otherwise might have re. mainedbuiled ioobscurity And, above all y has not the wandering labourer, without bread or the means of purchasing bread for his family, been drawn from misery to comfort, and from the same cause ? We also have another source of comfort to every one of this Society—we have a fund for providing for the wants of the, widow, the fatherless, and those disabled by accident, and to keep ourselves and others from the miseries so ably described by John Clare, the Northamptonshire peasant poet— " Oh, may I dle, before I'm dowsed to seek, That last resource of hope, but ill supplied ; ci claim an humble pittance once a week, Which justice forces from disdainful pride." And to whom are we indebted fur this fund? to the kind auspices of his Majesty; he has by his patronage to labour enabled us ;o raise such fund ; and, I cannot sit down, without stating to you, that our worthy landlord, Mr. Dalton, without asking a question (although an artisan himself) subscribed thirty pounds for your benefit, in the first instance. Mr. Davrost—l did it from the ►best motive (charity), and will again when necessity requires. The Castaway then proposed—" The hyoids of his Majesty," with four times four—which was drank with enthusiasm...—Air, •' Goo save the King." The CHAIRMAN then proposed—" The health of his Royal High nen the Duke of Sussex, Grand Master of England," three times three—Air," The Masonic March." After which he proposed, " the Lcird High Admiral," which was &silk with enthiniastit with three times three—Air, " Rule Britannia." The Cuarairsit-1 beg leave next to propose the health of Mr. Dalton, the founder of our fund and our worthy host of to-day, and although I will not say three times three, I will say, drink it heartfelt by you all as a friend, drink it for one who will never see suffering or distress without (like meek-eyed Charity) relieving it. —Drank with enthusiasm. Mr. Davrou then rose and said—l have a feeling for the trade, being bred to it, and for you my friends assembled here tn.day in particular. I can only thank you. At the same time I beg to drink—A glass full of wine, with a heart full of gratitude. The Meeting did not break up until a late hour, when every one returned to his home peaceful and happy. Mrs. HENRY BARING gave a grand dejevni yesterday morning, at her house in Berkeley-square, which was attended by au elegant assemblage of distinguished fashinnables.

Such was the extraordinary feeling produced by the ex pected attendance of so large a portion of the Nobility at these Gardens, that crowds of people assembled early last evening to wit ness their arrival. The company began to arrive about nine o'clock, and for two hours an uninterrupted line of carriages set down most of the Patronesses and Patrons of the Fete. What added considerably to the gaiety of the scene, was several tents pitched in the Gardens, which were illuminated, in order to afford facilities for parties wish ing to take refreshments. The Battle of Waterloo was repeated with additional adjuncts of men and horse. It is unnecessary to enter into a description of the round of entertainments provided for the occasion. Every thing wtnt off with the greatest ergniarity. The Gardens were embellished with several appropriate emblems, representing Charity. &c. An extra grand display of fire-works was provided for the occasion, and fully answered the expectations held out.
