Bodies, which are so submitted to the surgeon, cannot ever be generally accessible to the student. It is true, could such an enactment pass—which, however, we feel to be impossib!e—a great facility would be afforded for • arriving at the seat. and often the origin, of many com plicated and mysterious disorders; but this would be a nosological benefit, rather than any assistance towards anatomical perfection in the examiner. The course, for example, of the nerves and vessels, the origin and inser tion of muscles, and the investigation of the bony struc ture, all objects of the first importance to a student in chirurgical knowledge, are unattainable by these provi sions. We feel that our friend Gascckurs has written admirably, but something more effective most be devised for the wants of science. In the meantime, we recom mend him cordially, as a great corrector of prejudice, and a clever and ingenious handler of a subject which it is most difficult to render popular. JAMAICA PAPERS.

By a Decree of JUDO 1, his Majesty the Emperor, as a recom pense for the services rendered to the kingdom of Poland by his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine. has added to the principality of Lowles, given to his Imperial Highness by the late Emperor Alexander, the domains of Skieniewics, °Whew, Jess wrho and Yampa, which were not included in the original gift; and granting these domains to his Imperial Highness and his heirs. The Emperor Nicholas has been pleased to order, that all the debts to which they are liable should be paid, and that they should be de livered to the Grand Duke free from all mortgages. ODESSA, Jum 22. Very unfavourable accounts having been received hen respect ing the progress of the disease in the Principalities, in which ex perienced physicians recognised the characteristics of the plague, great alarm has been felt here. Effects and old clothes, b elon ging to Russian soldiers, having been brought from Varna to Odessa, infected the Lazarettos; and the magistrates found it neceesary to adopt all potable measures to prevent the terrible disorder from spreading. Oo the 19th June orders were given to all vessels in the port to remove to a certain distance from the mole. AU ship' .-Abut arrive receive the same injunction- All the effects of the sick ' and wounded have been burnt in the Lazarettos.

It is said that the Emperor Nicholas, during his stay at Berlin, on the subject of the war, that Rusk would, under no circum stances, allow its subjects to be canned off by the Turks, and sold into slavery; nor its trade on the Black Sea to be subject to the least impediment; that they might easily come to an understanding as to the expenses of the war ; and that Russia, should she require some territory, would get rid of it as speedily as possible. Her dominions are already so large, that an increase of territory would be injurious to the interest of the state. According to this state ment, it is supposed that Russia will hardly restore to Turkey Anapa in Europe, and Pod and Achaizik in Asia, where the white slave trade has been long carried on, hat that she will not incur porate into her empire Moldavia and Wallachia. The future war show whether in this case another independent state will be teethed out of these countries. According to news received by the sow madam of Belgrade, the Pachs of Caul, agreeably to &seeders of the Sultan. began his march in the beginning of June. to join the . army on the Danube. This shows that the Sultan does not appro. herd an attack on the side of the Pelopennessus. for if he ed he could not send away the Pasha, whose force amounts to 111.01* men, including 6,000 Albanians. From the Gazette de France. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, Jinx 15. Oa the‘order of the day for the project of the law relative to the receipts for the service of the year 1830, Messrs. Beraud, Bacot de Romans, and several other deputies. having briefly amused their opinions, M. J. Witte said, " our taxes amounted to nearly 100,000,000. The amount is frequently compared to that of a celebrated period. when the dominion of the continent, and the attainment of bound. less glory, cost us scarcely 500,000,000. It is tree, that the extra ordinary man who then governed us was economical, like Charle magne, because, like him, he was great ; but we must also make this observation—our soldiers were paid by their victories, and were maintained upon foreign ground; the 200,000,000 which our misfortunes cost us did nor contribute to swell the amount of the public debt. Finally, a different system kept out of the budget our enormous charges. '• They also compare this amount with that of 500,000,000 which we discharged under an absolute monarchy; and thence it is mali ciously inferred that absolute power is kin dear tbau liberty. Such the error that prevails—nth the ingratitude towards that revolts non of which the causes are affectedly disowrteds notwithstanding it regenerated our finances as well u our institutions, our laws, and our manners. If our burdens are in appearance double, in fact they are not half what they were then. Exclusive of the ailr,ooo,lloo of the budget, was the expense of the clergy, which deduced the tithes, contributions arising from the produce of the soil, and more burdensome than the had-tax. The salukis( the magistracy and the clime of colkstion were not included in the budget ; the cost of the public works executed by means of jobs was also defrayed byl -:- ice , . '~~-~ re our el the people, and added to their misery. Those 0,000,000, therefore, do not represent the expenditure of the army, the marine, foreign diplomacy, and the Court s turEepoorossed exclusively upon the property of those who were not that body of citizens which, independently of tithes, had also us endure the exercise of feudal rights, subsidies, alienation fines, Ste. " At mount every body pays, and it is the state alone that re ceives. 41,100,000,00 e, with the exception of some additional expenses e( the communes, includes every thing—tbo clergy the magistracy, the cost of collection, and public works. " A ell* tax, if in other respects it were practicable, should be paid by ell consumers; but powerful motives of convenience must vary its nature and distribution. In applying it to several classes instead of applying it only to one, we make the advance to all without producing a collection of capital upon a dngie point.— We permit it to circulate, the levy operates every where in suc cession, and no part is injured. This mode of collection, better planned; less embarrassing, more eas* supportable, because lase perceptible, should be preferred; but we must not forget that It Increases the cost of collection, and consequently the general amount of taxation. " The state, by taxation, exercises an immense influence upon price. and through prices upon production. Therefore, whim I observe Government influencing the destinies of industry by mesas of Tariffs—vsben I see it. under the pretence of necessity, cooed. eating itself the regulator of every species of skill, enterprise, and commerce, I tremble at the idea of the errors it may commit, the disorders and irregularities which it may produce. " There are two species of taxation—direct taxes, which tomb property. individuals, and professions—lndirect taxes, which act upon private dealings, commodities, and sales. The lottery, the impesta upon wood, tobacco, salt, and liquors, belong to the latter class. " I have only touched briefly upon the important subjects in Tuition. A great improvement has already taken place in our system of taxation ; but there still remains a great step to be taken. and it would not be a difficult co*. In this lovely but cahnonlated land what ardour prevails for social improvement! The Adminis tration which shall court public investigation--which shall only desire to be convinced by the force of facts—will succeed in re claiming public confidence, and calming all resentment; but the Ministry that refuses to pursue this course, will excite nothing but general defiance ; I am far from desiring to attack the Ministry when I think of the good this Chamber is able to do, I feel re assured; but when I perceive all the good that it has not dose, and which it should have done, for the last ten yoan.l am discou raged. and I exclaim, • The period of trial is not yet tossed l'" The speaker concluded by calling upon the ministers to offer a satisfactory explanation with respect to a sum of 1,000.000 accru ing from the Spanish debt, which they formerly stated to be deftni- Seely arranged, but which they Since said was only rrraaged pro visionally.

Liverpool &Blanchester Australian 90 914 IMPORTANT NEWS FROM COLOMBIA: ARRIVAL OF M. DE BRESSON AT BOGOTA. We have received only late this day Letters and Papers from Bogota, to the sth of May, and shall give trans lations successively of some of their most interesting con tents : but in the interim the public may rely on the following facts. - • The Treaty of Tarqui, or Jerin, was confirmed by General LAMAR:, President of the Peruvian Republic, and faithfully put by him into execution. The remnant of that Peruvian army which was under his orders when he invaded Colombia, and then amounted . to 8,400 men, reduced by its losses to only 2,400, had evacuated on the 15th March the territory of the Republic, and re passed the Macara. A Colonel JOSE PRIETO, Peruvian Commandant at Guyaquil, had alone refused to obey the orders of Ge neral LA ictit, and instead of evacuating that city had re quested a delay of 55 days, that he might receive instruc tions from. Lima. We shall give his correspondence on a future day. It was supposed that one of his objects was to gain time for the getting stoat the frigate Probe, which was careening in the port—but it was altogether an individual act, and not considered by General Suc lit as an intentional breach of the treaty of General LAMAR. His orders to Gen. FLORES therefore prescribed him not to consider hostilities as generally renewed, but to proceed with his forces to occupy Guyaquil, according to the treaty, ofJerin. Gen. FLoitzs was therefore moving on Guyaquil,l in which there were not more than 400 men, and General ELLINOOT, after driving in some of the enemy's posts with loss to them, had fixed his head-quarters at Sapatal on the 20th of March. Guyaquil was therefore, in all probability, re-occupied a few days subsequently. General Homy Au was on his return to Bogota, and, on the 3d of May, was already daily expected, to attend to the general affairs of the State, and receive Monsieur de B RESSO iv, who had arrived there as Commissioner to form a Treaty of Peace, and who . addressed the following speech to the Council of Ministers. The Archbishop and great Officers of the State having assembled to receive him in the palace of Government, M. de Basssox spoke as follows : MR. PRESIDENT, AND GENTLEMEN OF THE COUM CIL OF GOVERNMENT, " The August Sovereign who has sent me here feels a deep interest for the South American cause : the spec tacle now presented by France is the most brilliant proof of this fact. His views, which embrace all that concerns the well-being of the Kingdom which be governs with so much wisdom, extend far beyond its own pieciacts. Colombia cannot for a moment doubt the sentiments of France, and of her King. Her wishes are for its tran quillity, its prosperity, the development of its imasnis resources ; and for the establishment and consolidation of strong and liberal institutions. " GENTLEMEN- " At the same time that I congratulate myself in commencing a friendly and personal intercotirse with statesmen, whose names appear with honour in every page of the Colombian history, I Ratter myself with the hope that the late events in the South will contribute to shorten the absence of the illustrious CH tE F, under whom so many glorious actions have taken place during twenty years,+ and whose name—permit me to add—is so highly honoured among us. It is not alone that intrepidity and prompti tude in his undertakings, that penetration and constancy —qualities indicative of a great General --that we ad mire : we applaud also in him those virtues and political talents, which offer the fairest safeguard to the country whose destinies, independence, and internal order—the first foundations of liberty—are confided to his protection. GENTLEMIV " It is not for me to speak here of my personal feelings : suffer me only to hope that I shall find in your Excellen cies a disposition to cultivate friendly relations, cone spondent with that which I bring." We hope that the French and British negociators at Constantinople a ill not forget to set off against any in demnity claims of Russia, the greater debt Russia owes Turkey, and which she ought never to baoish from her recollections. What would have become of Russia if Sultan MA II 31011 D, taking advantage of her distress, when NA PO LEO Tr was crossing the Niemen ,had broken the Treaty of the Pruth, the seal of which was scarcely dry ? or had even made hostile demonstrations to obtain relief from some of its onerous conditions ? The Russian Moldavian army would, at all events, have been detained in the Provinces. There would then have been no army to interrupt the second line of communication through Minsk, to check the Austrians, take the Tke de-Pont of Beresina, and oblige the French retiring from Moscow to force the Beresina, under the difficult and disastrous circumstances of that operation. The service rendered Russia by the generous forbearance and inviolable good faith of the present Sultan amounts to the preservation of the Russian Empire in Europe. If ever a political transaction com manded personal as well as State gratitude, the conduct of MAII XOU to on that occasion has founded one of the strongest claims on record in history. We have a communication from our Correspondent who sent us the article on the State of Parties, approving the general view we have taken of the utility of public men keeping connected together, upon the principle--ident sentire de republicd, and of the advantage such associa tions may produce, by acting as a sound check on venal political profligacy—but his objection is to the re-con struction of a Whig or Tory party, upon the principle that the Ministry must be composed exclusively of one or the other. That now there is no sine gud non impediment to an union of liberal men of both parties, and however ' , desirable that further union might be, new party-bonds would again render it indispensable that one and all, or none of the same party, should be employed. He agrees that new combinations might, by new cfrcumstances, be come expedient ; but that the term Whig and Tory should never be revived, as they have died, according to some, a' violent, but, as he thinks, a natural death ; and that their resuscitation could only impede the progress of good Go vernment, by limiting its means of formation. Whig and Tory appellations he is confident would rekindle extin guished animosities, and the people would regard both as factions seeking their own personal aggrandisement. In this view of the inexpediency of reviving these ob solete party-terms—and indeed the party obligatioFs, such as-they lately existed—we need hardly say that we quite concur with our Correspondent. The French man this morning brought us the fol lowing article of intelligence : LEGHORN, 3m 0.
