We regret, however anxious we are to do so, that our information from Windsor, does not authorise us to an nounce as yet,the complete convalescence of his MAJZSTIr. The Duke of WELLINGTON, we are sorry to hear, has Leen much indisposed within the last two or three days. It is strongly reported, at the West End of the Town, that Lord DARLINGTON, the son of the Marquis of CLEVELAND, is to move the Address, and that he will be seconded by Mr. WARD, the City member. A vessel which left Rio de Janeiro subsequent to the sailing of the Packet, brings the intelligence that the Marquis of BARBACENA had been named Minister for Foreign Affairs. We sincerely hope this report may be confirmed. The Emperor could not have made a happier choice, nor one more strongly indicative of his de termination to uphold the rights of his daughter, whose cause the Marquis sustained with such talent and energy while in this country. An Evening Paper of yesterday announced that it had positive information, that the Queen of PORTUGAL is dangerously ill with water on the chest. As we know but one Queen of PORTUGAL, we could hardly avoid sus pecting that from the mode of introducing the intelligence, the writer did not much care if his readers applied it to the legitimate Sovereign DoxxA MARIA. Hydrothorax, however, seldom or never attacks persons of her MAJESTY'S age. Nevertheless, we embrace this opportunity of stating that on the departure of the packet, her MAJESTY was in the enjoyment of most excellent health. With regard to the " Old Queen," as she is usually designated, we do not think many tears will be shed, when it pleases Provi dence to remove her from a scene, in which she has played a part not less degrading to royalty, than ruinous to the' people, over whom she has exercised such a baneful control. A Meeting of the Freeholders and Inhabitants of the County of Cambridge and the Isle of Ely was held yes terday at the Town Hall, Cambridge. It confirms in a striking manner—if our observations on that occasion needed to be so corroborated—all that we said on the subject of the Norfolk Meeting. It will be remembered that, in speaking of the Norfolk Meet ing, we stated that the deep and portentous explo sions of collateral dissatisfaction—occurring almost simultaneously in distant quarters—betokened a rousing country: but the meeting of the men of Cambridge and Ely satisfies us that the country is already roused. Our ministe rial contemporary, the Times—to whom we have accorded so long-a spell of impunity, that he fancies, perhaps, we shall soon fraternise with his corruptions-•may sneer at these demonstrations of public feeling, and jest at the general misery, to make himself acceptable in the eyes of power. But be will change his note ere long, for the thing cannot endure ; and before a little month, the hurricane—as he phrases it—which is getting up is • reentry places, may not improbably be raging is Palace Yard. What is to prevent it ? Will the Noble Dung do any thing to mitigate the fierce affliction of the people ? ..Can he, if be would ? And if he nei ther will—nor can--does the Timms imagine that the people will not interfere to relieve themselves ? Preposterous. The crisis is at hand: and if the Ministers will do nothing for us we must redress our own wrongs—summarily, but constitutionally, still. It is the essential spirit of the English Constitution, that—if the MINISTRY and PARLIAMENT be too corrupt to ad minister the*peOple in equity—the PEOPLE may super sede "those authorities, and redress themselves. We maintain that this is the spirit of the Constitution, es tablished by precedent, and consecrated by charters, popularly obtained. W. here heard it affirmed, that the Duke of Wm.- LINOTOW denier that there is any distress in the country, and that he imputes to the spitefulness of indi viduals discontented at his supremacy, all the noise that is made about starvation and fiscal pressure. The Noble Du:a has familiarised us long since with the hypothesis of his own madness, but we can hardly believe him so " mad," as to have uttered publicly such a sentiment. - AU the Counties in England will have assembled before March ; but surely the Duke of Wm.- LIN oTON does not wait forthem all to assemble, before he Aid be undeceived. Let him attend a little to the speeches in the Town-1111 of Cambridge--that focus of ministerial and loyal congregants. Let him look at the nnelatiens snored by cormassUor Payna--tha ipnecb of IP. Snow r of Trinity—and the petition and speeches of Mr. War. Ls of Huntingdon, and of Mr. Kassala-. If these do not impress him with some apprehension for the rising storm, let his Grace wait but a little, and be will bear it roaring in Hyde Park—we solemnly warn him that he will. Gracious Gon lis this insensate Minister, then, indeed so case-hardened, that nothing but extreme convulsion will teach him on what ground be stands ? Neese promllmos es mud parte tumults, Agnoseit, populique forum amseesdere murmur? We cannot close these remarks, without expressing our cordial concurrence with the spirit and language of Mr. WELLs's Petition ; and especially of that prefatory sentence, where the Petitioners state their determination to separate no more, except by adjournment from time to time, and place to place, until a redress of grievances is obtained. All that is required to such a Petition, is only thatsufficient number of signatures which will convince the Parliament that the country is at last in earnest; and even the Duke of WELLINGTON will quail before the multitudinous conviction. The Government, and those who call themselves the Re presentatives of the People, have brought it all upon themselves: the memorable prophecy of Lord CHATHAM is on the eve of its fulfilment. A Meeting of the Freeholders and Inhabitants of the County of Chester, is to take place on Monday next, at Northwich, to consider the unparalleled distress which prevails in every part of the country, and to petition Parliament thereon. It is understood that matters will not be minced on this interesting occasion, and that it will afford the very converse of that un-English example, set some time since by the Kentish Grand Jury. A Correspondent of the Morning Herald, signing himself " An Old Lieutenant in the Navy," complains of the sudden advancement of a PAGET to the rank of Post Captain, by which he merely stepped over the heads of seven hundred of his brother officers. Were this not an almost every-day occurrence, we should also feel surprised. As it is, we shall only express a hope that the Admiralty will not any longer defer those ar rangements said to be in progress for ameliorating the condition of the meritorious class of officers to which the complainant belongs, and thus proving that their long services, and patient endurance, are not to go unrequited. We shall on an early day, state some facts connected with the naval service, which—if we mistake not—are not a little calculated to excite public sym pathy and astonishment. We have now concluded the publication of the third series of Senor GARCIA Dim Rto's Correspondence. It is probable the next packet may bring us his views as to those Constitutional Reforms which the Constituent Con gress, now assembled at Bogota, should adopt, to fix the Government on a solid basis, and secure to the people the benefits of an improved and improving political system. Such an exposition will be very va luable on many accounts, and more particularly as it will serve as a key to the measures which the Congress may resolve upon, and the propriety of which might not otherwise be so immediately understood in Europe. But the facts with which we are already become acquainted, through Senor GAR CIA'S instructive communications, afford most valuable lights for our judgment on the past, and anticipa tions of the future. We believe all the historical transac tions have been accurately related; whilst the reflexions and comments, to which they have given rise in Mr. GARCIA'S publication, have been accompanied with en lightened views—a candour—a boldness, which do the highest honour to his intelligence—liberality—patri otism, and courage in its cause. The demands for those Papers of the STAR, which contain these Letters, have been so frequent, and we have been so unable to make up complete sets, that we have • resolved on collecting them together in one volume, and publishing them as " A History of the Revolution of Columbia, and Enquiry into her Political, Financial, and Social State, in the year 1829." Such of our readers as would wish to have them sent, can address their instruc tions to our Office. The streets of the metropolis continue in a deplorable state, and are in many parts almost impassable. We were, however, glad to perceive a very interesting ma chine in operation this morning. It consists of a cast iron car, to which a broad plato is attached underneath diagonally. The car is drawn by two horses, and as it advances, the broad plate turns up the snow, conveying it . the right side or left of the wheels, according to the di rection in which the horses may be moving ; thus a clear passage is made for carriages. We have not seen a more ingenious, simple, or useful contrivance. We are happy to find that our suggestions have had some beneficial effect, and that summonses have already been issued against distinguished defaulters with regard to the Act relative to cleansing the pavement. The French used to cry " guerre aux chateaux"—we raise the same cry against those Princely residences which have long dead walls to screen the, proprietors from the sight and effect of the nuisances which they occasion, by never ordering a spade or broom to be used, as many a pretty foot and splashed petticoat will testify. Why Is the line of pavement, which has been put down at so meek expense, from Arlington-street to Piccadilly gate, to be kept perpetually covered with snow or mud ? Surely there is some responsible person ; and the time has come, when reforms of every kind must commence with the highest.

Charlestown Papers to the 11th Dee. have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house two days later than the last accounts. They state that a small caravan, consisting of about II of the American citizens, accompanied by 10 Spaniards. have just arrived from the Mexican provinces, under the protection of Major Riley's company. They were escorted to the boundary of the United States by about 500 Mexican troops. They bring in formation of the death of Samuel Lamme, a merchant, who lust his life by the attack of the Indians going out ; and Major Riley was attacked by the Indians on the Arkansa, and one of his horsemen cut of.

The Indigo prospects in the vicinity of the Bhagur reithu, owing to the great rise of the river, had taken an unfavourable turn. At Jepore the chance of a good crop was also indifferent ; but the weather had been favor able for the Paddy crop. The letters we have received from Bourdeaux state that, in consequence of the frost having prevented the arrival of all flour by water, it had been apprehended that there would be a great rise in the price of bread, and much alarm had been excited. The authorities, however, by l offering a premium on such flour as had arrived by land, had succeeded in keeping the price under. We learn by accounts from Toulon this morning, that a vessel bad arrived from the Levant, with intelligence that the French troops would continue to occupy the Mores, and that this was well known at Navarino.' The commercial advices from Calcutta this morning state, in Europe good twist was firm, and chintzes sold freely. - Books and maps were in good demand, but at low prices. There was no speculations in beer, and the brandy stock was heavy ; wines were dull, and In other articles there was a limited demand. Metals were ge nerally dull.

The refusal of Russia to concur in the nomination of Prince LZOPOLD to the Sovereignty of Greece, is as cribed to the vacillating conduct of the French Ministry. They have created dissatisfaction in the Army, and are now endeavouring to conciliate the Navy. Their civil reductions have been equally marked by an utter want of judgment, and like those in our country, have been made F at the wrong end ; in place of reducing the supernumerary heads of departments with redundant salaries, by which a real saving might have been effected, they have turned adrift a multitude of miserable clerks with small salaries, to become burthens to the public or nuisances to society, thus verifying the adage of " saving at the spiggot, and wasting at the bunghole." Such an administration does not deserve to stand.—Plymoutli Journal. REDUCTIOWL—With a considerable regard for the distresses of the poor, accompanied with a thorough con viction of the imperative necessity of effecting retrench ment to the utmost possible extent in every department, the Lords of the Admiralty, in place of reducing the number of artificers employed in this Dock-yard, and thus adding to the distresses of the poor in this inclement season, by turning adrift men who have no resource but their parish when out of employment, have sent down orders for withdrawing their allowance of chip money, which, though a mere trifle to the individuals who have enjoyed it, amounts in the aggregate to a large sum, being no less than 12,0001. annually at this port alone.
