CoLUMBIA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. LETTER XVII. Booms., OcT. 7, 1829. We think the treaty with Pen, should contain the f o llowing. stipulations :-•- I . The restoration of the provinces of Mainas and Jaen dr. Braravmros to C4l:phia. .2. '4:itisi'action for the expulsion of our Minister from Lima. 3. That a commission should be named to settle with the greatest expedition the line of demstkatiin between the two States. 4. That the same commission ;should regulate the liqui dation of the debt due from Peru to Colunzhio, framing the arrangement upon the stipulations of the treaty con- Aided in Guayaquil the 18th March, 1823, and fixing in a reasonable manner the mode by which the debt is to discharr,ed. 5. That both States should bind themselves never to in tervene in the domestic concerns of the other. 6. That a friendly State should be invited to arbitrate between Columbia and Peru, and deterniiiw on the sum Peril should pay for the prejudice occasioned by the in fraction of the treaty of Jiron. It is easy to justify the necessity and justice of the above conditions. In the minor, as well as in the greater transactions, national honour is always the safest Coun cillor. A people that submits to injustice degrades itself, and thus Columbia cannot refrain from insisting on the surrender of the provinces of Jaen and Mainas, which, since the year 1718, when the viceroyalty of New Gre nada was created, was attached to it, and has since con stituted an integral part. Whenever a Government tolerates public insult towards its Representative in the discharge of his functions, it invites further injuries, and such toleration is full of the most prejudicial mischief to the interests, and credit of nations. A suitable line of demarkation is indispensable, to avoid all ground of future disagreenitnt between the two States. Peru has very disingenuously shuffled from the treaty made on this subject at Lima, the 6th July, 1822, and offered an ill return for the delicacy shown her by the LtBERATOR. when he had the destinies of the country at his disposition. Nature has traced with a decided, and strong hand the limits of Columbia by a frontier line of mountains, rivers, and deserts, and as a demarkation properly traced, is one of the best guarantees for the preservation of good understanding between neighbouring States, it would be advisable to make friendly interchanges, or even cessions, to obtain an object so advantageous for the inhabitants of both countries. For this purpose Peru should cede to Columbia all the territory which she claims from the mouth of the river Cabin, inclusive towards the north, and in the in terior all on the northern bank of the Macara from its source to its confluence with the Colan, and from thence to its embouchure. On our part we should make over to Peru all the extensive country which belongs to us on the southern bank of the Amazons, from about the 81 degree of longitude (meridian of Paris) to the limits of Peru on the north-easth—that is to say, the popula tion and lands of the east of Chamaya, of Jaen, and Angostura de Cumbinapia ; and to the south of Moja, San Ignacio, and San Joaquim de Omaguas. In this manner Columbia will possess Tinbez, and com mand, as is essential, all the waters of the Gulf of Guya yuil, and the rich streamed Maranon, will naturally se parate the two countries in its course from West to East between the 4A deg. and 6i South latitude. Finally, by drawing a straight line from the source of the Macard towards the Cordillera ; following the direction of it from the north, midway towards A metistas, and then de scribing a semicircle towards Tallabambo on the Ama zons ; in my opinion, the boundaries of Columbia and Peru will be properly defined. The faith of treaties, not less than strict justice, de mands the repayment of the expenses incurred for the liberation of the country of the Incas, and it is not pos sible to conceive how there can be a moment's hesitation on the part of the Cabinet of Lima, when that Cabinet, without having been asked to give any aid to Bolivia, and without any arrangement whatsoever, instructed its Minister at that Republic to require a pecuniary compen sation for the exertions made by the Peruvians in favour of its independence. As Pr ru has already given a fatal example of interven ti'm in ether domestic policy of other States, as malignity on the other baud has ascribed ambitious projects to the sr. a AT() a of the New World, and as the jealousy enter tained of Columbia has favoured these imputations, it is indispensably necessary that all future interventions in the affairs of others should be disclaimed by treaty. Finally, Peru having failed to fulfil the conven tion of Jiron, it is just Columbia should be in demnified for the prejudice occasioned her, and she would spew sufficient moderation in submitting the claim to the arbitration of a friendly power. All cause for future misunderstandings being thus cleared away, concord being established, and the past being for ever buried in oblivion, Columbia must then attend solely to her own organization and internal prosperity, and trace a system of foreign policy, judicious and firm, and from which she must not deviate except from the gravest motives. We will now begin first to examine what are the relations which she should maintain, or establish with the nations of America and Europe. GARCIA DEL RIO. E .

The public should avail itself of the power of recommend ing letters, which cost nothing, and avoid subtractions mad losses. It is astonishing that merchants should be so neglectful as to send 7,478 letters, enclosing 1,330,000 trance unsealed, and many others without any direction. THE DUKE AND THE ME N OF KENT. Si it—No true Englishman can read the soul-stirring letters of your Correspondent, Si DNEY ," without feeling thatto be longer quiescent on a subject of such manifest moment to our national character, or peradventure our national existence, is to share the odium and degradation that your Correspondent so forcibly points out. The truth is, Sir, that these Men of Kent are asses— egregious asses—and His Grace of WLtta GTON is no less an ass than they ! These Men of Kent, in their hearts, despise the Duke of WELLIN ti TON, and look upon him as the chief, if not the sole cause, of all our disasters—and get, Sir, these Men of Kent, iu the same breath that they execrate his name for having, dictator-like, assumed the reins of King, Lords, and Commons, would fain ratify the unconstitu tional appoile.ment by beseeching his HIG It N ESS IO mi tigate the rigour of their destiny. Is this true, Sir, or is it not ?—lf it be, what, I again ask, are they, but asses? and what conceivable brayings ever sounded more discordantly in the physical ear, than this slavish petition of theirs does to the upright understanding of Men ? Now for W mu) CoanErr calls him — Is that a Libcl, Sin JANI ES Ctia•r•rEttisox ? Now I say, for WATERLOO—Is lie an ass, or not ? that is the question ! Did :to not say that he should be a madman to undertake the Premiership ? And did he not undertake it ? Th it, it is true, only proves him to be mad in his own estimation ; but it is not too much to say that a man who thus deems himself mad, may— without rubbing other; of their honours—safely affix A.S.S. to his cognomen, when he takes on himself so awful a responsibility. And what did he do when lie became Premier ? Why he contrived to compose his Cabinet of such men, as he knew would not dispute his sway.—Yes, this self-styled mad-man—this inefficient Minister, would have no one for a colleague who would dare to question his amazing sagacity—never dreaming that if matters did nut go on a s g libly as formerly, he would thus draw down on his single head the contu nets- of all who witnessed the imbecility of his measures, and tho eternal curses of those who were ruined by them—never dre.uning, that if he survived the crash his ruinous pro ceedings superinduced, he was founding a precedent for future ambitious Ministers, at direct variance with the established practice of the Cabinet up to his time ; a pre cedent which bids fair to change the character of the Go vernment, and to reduc is once happy Monarchy to a republic or a military deipot ism . No one, or at all events, very few, think so badly of WATERLOO, as to suppose that he was influenced by any such motive. No ; I believe it was a sin of the head rather than of the heart—of ignorance rather than of in tention. But what then ? Does it not prove what I began by maintaining—that WATERLOO id an ass? The crack measure of his Administration has been the everlastingly trumpeted Catholic Question; but admitting this to have been ably managed, I maintain he did it like a General, not like a Statesman. Every one will recol lect his letters to the Catholic Bishop—to Lord ANOL E SEA —to the Duke of Let NST ER—all which was done to blind them and the public—a manoeuvre worthy enough of a General, but not less humiliating than derogatory to the character of a Statesman. Quickness and decision are the attributes of a General; coolness and deliberation of a Statesman. Was this important achievement marked by either of the latter qualities ? Has not the result proved it was not ? It was carried, I admit, but in such a manner as to mar every possible g ood effect. It has conciliated the aristocratic part of th e Catholics to the Government; and what good, I should like to know, has that done ? No danger was apprehended from them before —but every danger was apprehended from the Priesthood and the Catholic democracy, and what benefit have one or the other received ? The one has been treated with unmerited rigour in this famous bill; the other has been despoiled of its franchise because it dared to exert it as it pleased : and if last, not least, the means by which its success was accomplished, have lowered the Houses of Lords and Commons so much in the estimation of the people, as to excite, for the time to come, the most fearful apprehensions. All this has WATERLOO done, and again and again I ask, is he not an Ass for his pains ? If his HIGHNESS will condescend to call at your office, you are welcome to give him my name ; and tell him that much as I value his services as a SOLDIER, words can hardly express my contempt for him as a STATES M A N. I am, Sir, your bumble Servant, Jan. 10, 1150. PHILO-SIDNEY. A FRIDAY, FIRST DAY OF THE YEAR ! lam not superstitious, and yet I have fears. I could wish this year was already at an end. It commenced on a Friday ; this is a bad omen. Why are not things so ordered that a Friday should never mark the commence ment of a year ? Why undertake anything of importance in 1830, when we have for a point of departure un unlucky day, which will influence every thing we may wish to do, and will be, as it were, an advertisement terrible to the boldest. The authors of wicked projects alone do not fear Fri day : I tremble, therefore, for our institutions, which may it please PROVIDENCE to protect from the fury of political wolves ! I dread some famine, the more so as I am not sure that our purveyors have leisure. They have scarcely time to attend to the granaries of plenty, for they can't do every thing at once. It would require Methusalems for Ministers to accomplish everything they undertake : war against se ditious decanters, combats with Polichinello, the Buona partiste, prosecutions against the revolutionary alma nacks—projects of law upon ministerial responsibility,— specialties for the budget,—pretended reforms and other engines, to catch the poor liberal world, which does not know the hands that lay the snares. With all this, how can you expect our people to think of the means of subsistence ? I fear that Friday will have an evil influence upon lite rature. Let the Epic poems produced in 1830 beware I would not read one of these for all the gold in the world. If we could have, in spite of Friday, a few good dramatic pieces, we should have great good luck ! But the dramatic soil will, perhaps, be like the vineyards, which the influence of Friday will freeze. It is true that 1829 has scarcely been more lucky, although it commenced on a Thursday ; in fact, what is there of excellence that has sprung up in the tragic or the comic field, from the Betises of the year down to the Fete of Nero? Do I not exaggerate? Is Friday really an unlucky day ? Yes, no doubt, it is an evil day, but less de plorable, perhaps, than I think. It will bring misfortune to the Ministry alone, and then there will be an entire restoration in France. Friday and the eager cares of M. BEUGNOT, who everywhere proclaims that M. de Pomo ac is only too liberal, will kill the Ministers. This good luck we would cheaply purchase with some misfortunes. Come then the year on Friday with all its disasters, provided that in the torrent of evils wish which we are threatened, it carries away the Ministry, we will bless it. Yes, let the wine be sour, let more than a half of the dramatic pieces be insipid, let corn be dear, pro vided M. de POLIGNAC and his worthy colleagues take themselves away, we will not complain. A good Ministry would save the country. This is then what I wish you! —Figaro. OLD BAILEY. -THIS DAT.

M. do Foy, the proprietor of a " Bureau de Ma: iages," at Paris, breught an action in the Tribunal of the First Instance against 111. lierchaud, a little cutler, for neglecting to pay 600 t. the price of his agency in procuring the said lierchaud a wife.— The little cutler, it seems, tint finding trade go on so !middy as 0 could desire, and being, besides, in debt to the amount o 1 , tow' thought he might manage to retrieve matters by making a pruden • marriage, and so applied to t 1 de Poy, the " matrimonial agent," who gallantly receive: nothing from the ladies who employ him, making it a rule only to charge the men. The little cutler would be well satisfied, he said, to get a wife with 3,000 f. but the gallant matrimonial agent was so obliging as to find hint one worth 19,0001. and for such a kind service the little cutler • promised him 600 f. to be paid after the celebration of the marriage. That promise he had, however, refused to fulfil, alleging that the bargain was a scandalous and unlawful one. Besides, if It were lawful, it had not been fulfilled, be contended. on the part of the matrimonial agent. "Of the wife herself," said his counsel, " I shall say nothing; my silence will, no doubt, he properly inter preted ; but her fortune, instead of being 12,0001. was found after the marriage to be only 500 f." The Court decided in favour of the matrimonial agent, as a distinct bargain had been made be tween him and the cutler, hut, in consideration of the latter', dis appointment, reduced the sum to be paid from 600 f. to 300 f. It has long been a subject of wonder and regret the: the rank of certain persons does not act as a bar to their ' use of language towards each other which would disgrace Billingsgate. Persons who pay attention to every thing have re marked that all those years which end with nine hare been distinguished by excessive cold, from 1709 to 1829.

An astonishing proof of the ex tre i.e depression of a.2:rt c t:ture occurred at a sale near Boston, last ts eek. Stet it tons of hay, to be consumed on the Ft:cruises, sold for 15s. and, stranger still, three tons sold for one shilling! Nine acres of wheat sold for £3 ss. and nine acres of oats for five shillings! It is proper to remark, hoe - ever, that the latter were exceedingly damaged by t!u• dreadful storm of July last. Notice has been given of an intended app;ieation Parliament for a Bill for making and maintaining an aqueduct, with feeders, tunnels, pipes, reservoirs, sluices, bridges, engines, &c. for the couveyauee of pure water to or near the metropolis, from divers springs situate in the parishes of Wimbledon, Kingston, Roeltarepton, Rich mond, Mortlake, East Sheen, Barnes, Putney.

Ann Thomas, spinster, aged 26, was put to the bar on au indictment, charging her with feloniously stealing in the dwelling-house of her master, John Phillips, proprietor of the King's Arms, Orchard-street, West-' minster, £5O, &c. his monies. The short fact of this ease was, that the prisoner, in her capacity of a servant, had availed herself of the opportunity afforded her, and purloined the money. The cl,ie was clearly brought horn e t° the prisoner ; but the Jury, in consi deration of some circumstances which came out in the course of the trial, found the prisoner guilty of stealing. to the amount of 4/. 19a. thus taking off the capital port of the charge. t TEN SI V ROBP It AT M !Ai MUM; ILA William Adams. a servant to the above lady, aged 21, and William Mealing, were put to the bar on an indict ment charging them with feloniously stealing, in the dwelling-house of Elizabeth Musgrave, on the night of the 24th of December. plate and other articles to the amount of 1001. and upwards, her property. The circumstances of this case were as follow ;—On the evening in question, the prosecutrix left home and did nut return until twelve o'clock, when she found the whole of her plate was gone. Adams had gone out in the even ing and returned with Mary Mealing, when the cook maid, Adams, and Agnes Smith, another servant, sat down to cards. Adams shortly after went out to fetch some in and cloves, and shortly after the door was heard to shut loudly, and on going up stairs the robbery was discovered. Bond and a brother officer hearing of the robbery, searched the outside of the house, and finding. no marks of violewe, took the whole of the parties into custody, and subsequently Adams confessed the robbery, and stated where the property had been taken to. The officers, on going to this place, found it as statal in a box, belonging to the prisoner Mealing. The fact of the prisoner Mealing placing the plate in his tool-chest the following day, was proved ; as were the' confession: of Adams, made on the following day. Mr. Justice Gast:LEL , . summed up the evidence to the Jury : in the course of which he dwelt on the fact, that the prisoner Mealing had not attempted to give any ac count of how he cumo possessed of the plate, and left it to the Jury to say whether they could have any doubt on the part of either of the prisoners ; if they had they would' give him the benefit of it. , The Jury were about to consider their verdict, when Mealing begged to be allowed to speak ; the request, being granted, he declared that he was wholly innocent of any participation in the robbery, and added that n person whom he did not know had placed it in his chest. Mr. Justice GarELEs said, the Jury would take this declaration into consideration, and put it to them to declare their opinion. They considered for a short time and found both the prisoners Guilty—Death. The Jury recommended Adams to mercy, in which they were joined by the prosecutrix. The Earl of ABERDEEN entertained the Cabinet Mi nisters to dinner yesterday evening, at his residence in Argyll-street. The whole of the Ministers in town were present.

The late Sir Thomas Lawrence, when shoat 18 years of age, in the year 1788, came to Salisbury, and waited upon the late Dr. Hancock, then an eminent physician in that city, to w'aom he had a letter of recommenda tion. Dr. Hancock employed him to make portraits, in coloured chalk, of himself and his daughter.— These portraits are now in the possession of a gentle man holding an official situation in London, who married a grand-daughter of the late Dr. Hancock. He informs us that they ire executed in a style fully equal to any of the lamented President's latest drawings. On the paper pasted at the backs of the frames is the signature " Thos. Lawrence," and on one of them the artist has written— " Be pleased to keep this from the damp and from the sun." Dr. Hancock recommended young Lawrence to go to Bath, and gave him letters of introduction to seve ral of his friends there. It was then much frequented by persons of fashion and distinction, who were all eager to employ him. After remaining there some time, and be coming a general favourite, lie left that city for London. A dangerous epidemical fever prevails in the prisons of Toulon. Upwards of four hundred men are ill.-- The malady rages particularly on board the prison-ship No. 2, where twenty-five convicts are ill of every 100, whilst in other hulks there are but five or ten sick per hundred.
