THURSDAY, APRIL 22. THE KING. We are gratified to state that our latest intelligence from Windsor is of a more satisfactory nature than any w•e have been enabled to announce since the first Bul letin. The improvement which has taken place in His MA - J MITT'S health is such as to give his medical attendants every confidence of his restoration to convalescence. After the painful state of suspense in which the public mind has been held by the intermission of the official announcements, the following Bulletin will be hailed with unmingled pleasure. Brief as it is, it will speak hope and consolation to the hearts of His MAJESTY'S faithful and attached people. WINDSOR CASTLE The KING is better. April 22, 1830. H. HA LFORD. The CONGRESS Of COLOMBIA has, after due delibe ration, concocted, decreed, and promulgated the funda mental articles of the New Constitution, by which that Republic is henceforth to be governed.—lf we have suffered the recent proceedings of " the eminent men" composing that grave assembly, to pass unscrutinized, we have not been either inattentive, or, we trust, unpro fitable, observers of the deep political game, of which COLOMBIA has once more been made the arena and the stake ; and we feel that the sincerity of the motives with which we have advocated the independence of that State, I cannot be compromised by our determination never to become the partisans of men, where we find their measures prejudicial to the cause to which we stand pledged, and calculated only to advance their own sordid purposes, and aspiring views.— , The " vaulting ambition" of Bola van,—however spe cious may be the guise of patriotism and disinterested ness, beneath which his ulterior object has hitherto been veiled—must, under any other circumstances, have " overleaped itself, and fallen on the other side :"—but agitated and almost convulsed as " the liberated land" has been by the internal dissentions, feuds, and jealousies of its Chiefs, and by the threatened separation of Vene zuela, the transatlantic Liberator well knew that the season in which he chose to tender his resignation of the supreme authority, was that of all others in which the indulgence of his pure passion for retirement could not fail most effectually to embarrass the Republic, and that therefore was the season in which such a sacrifice might ho tendered with the certainty of being rejected, and with the probability of having that rejection accompanied by the propitiatory proffer of still higher rank, and of more absolute power—than he before enjoyed. Had such a pro position been made at a time of undisturbed tranquillity, or when the Republic were free from the apprehension of all danger, who shall say whether the " disinterestedness" of the patriot might not have been put to a severe test, and the power of the President transferred to some man less eager to " precipitate himself from the Chief Magis tracy?" That the condition of the Republic rendered the acceptance of BOLIVAR'S resignation impossible, and was the sole cause of its rejection, is manifest from the reply of the Congress ; and that obstacle to his retirement must have been as well known to BOLIVAR himself before he declared his intention of " ceasing to rule over them," as it was to the Congress when they called upon him not to abandon the Government; for in their reply, they said : " But if you abandon us at this moment, the devouring monster of anarchy will find food in Colombia. You have solenudy pro mised to exercise the supreme authority until the Congress promul. gate the constitution and appoint the magistrates of the state. If, on the one hand, what you owe to Colombia and to yoursetf pre. sent powerful obstacles to your abdication of the Presidency of the Republic, the Congress, an the other hand, Si in a situation which renders ils acceptance of that resignation impossible, be. cause your promise is comprehended in the law of its creatiot, which it is bound religiously to respect." Here, he is called upon, by the faith of his own so lemn promises, to exercise the supreme authority—not for an indefinite period, or with a perpetual guarantee — but for a brief and definite space of time—" until the Congress promulgate the Constitution, and appoint the Magistrates of the State." And he is told that if what he owes, by virtue of that promise, to Colombia, and to himself, present powerful obstacles to his abdication of the Presidency, so the Congress feels itself in a situation that renders its acceptance of that resignation impos sible. Yet such was the season, in which 80ny.% x deemed it wise, and prudent, and patriotic, to add to the embarrassments of a Republican Government, by an affected desire to " terminate his political career." One condition of Bou vs l.'s promise has now, however, been fulfilled :—the Constitution has been promulgated ; and it will soon remain to be seen whether the disinte rested offer will be repeated. If it be not—we shall know what to think of the sincerity with which it was first made; and of the moderation of the Liberator. Of the Constitution itself, and of its general provisions, we ore not now called upon to offer any opinion; but it is impossible to read two of those provisions without being impressed with the conviction that the professed cham pions of Freedom, are in their own uncontrolled exercise of legislative power, as deeply imbued with the worst principles of despotism, as the most absolute and arbitrary Rulers of the civilized world. The fifteenth article of the Constitution contains a prohibition worthy of the spirit of LOYOLA and his holy brotherhood :—for it provides, that " the Catholic, Apostolic, Roman Reli gion" shall not only be " the Religion of the State," but that, " the Government exercising the office of Pro-' tectorate of the Colombian Church, no other public wor ship will be permitted."—Talk of civil liberty after this ! —Talk of the extension of Religious liberty, and the relief afforded to Roman Catholics in Great Britain, and the immunities they enjoy on the Continent of Europe ; and then turn to the New World for the exemplification of their liberality—and the display of their toleration ! The sixteenth article, indeed, guarantees personal secu rity, as an equivalent, no doubt, for the thraldom imposed upon the conscience ; and the liberty of the press is guaranteed, whilst the liberty of prayer is extin guished. The religious-proscription clause, the Courier requests us to believe, is "very contrary to the wish of BOLIV R, and other eminent men in Colombia;" but such an assurance is perfectly ridiculous. With out the sanction of Betty Au, what constitutional code would that Congress venture to promulgate, which declares itself to bo in such a condition as to render the acceptance of his resignation impossible ? The truth is, however, as the Courier—upon the authority, we doubt not, of the person who officiates as the agent of the Bo- LIV AR party in this country—admits, that " the prohi bibition is inserted to secure to the government the sup port of the clergy and the very large portion of the nation who regard the Roman Catholic religion as the only en lightened creed."—Enlightened, pious, and liberal legis lators ! We have felt it our duty, on more than one occasion, to reprehend the unbecoming precipitance with which some of our contemporaries have lent themselves to the promotion of party purposes on the one hand, and the furtherance of ministerial intrigue on the other, by con templating the probability of any political changes, or maintaining the stability of existing arrangements, with reference to the lamented illness of our beloved Sovereign. But we scarcely know in what terms of reprobation we should condemn the worse than indecent haste—the offen sive importunity—of those who, from the position in which they are placed by their immediate connection with Members of the Cabinet, should bo the very last to forget the respect that is due to the personal feelings of the KING, and to the decencies of society ; but whose selfish avidity has rendered them so far insensible to every consideration apart from the advancement of their own personal interests, as to commence an election eering canvass, at a moment when the thoughts of all other Englishmen are absorbed in anxious solicitude for the restoration of their KING to health. The following paragraph has appeared in several papers : Mr. DUNDAII has not thought proper to contradict it; and we are there fore bound to take the statement for a fact, and deal with it accordingly. After the recent curtailment of a pension so laboriously earned, and so meritoriously enjoyed, by one member of the family, another, it would seem, can not afford " to lose anything for want of timely asking ;" and therefore seta about forestalling opposition, and se curing his return, in this decent and exemplary manner. " We have heard that Lord MZLVILLE'II son, Mr. MINOAN who is member for Rochester, paid a private visit to the Mayor on Sunday, to secure his interest, should an event occur rendering a dissulution of Parliament imperative." The following letter has been received from the agent to the North and South American Coffee House, dated " Buenos Ayres, kb Feb. 1830. " Our political situation has not materially changed since my last, although I sometimes think that the pros pect looks less cheering. It is tree no actual disturbance has taken place, and perhaps will not, but the bitter re vilings of the two parties is really disheartening to those who have the interests of the country at heart. You cannot conceive the extent to which it is carried, neither will 1 disgust you by details of it. Nothing but misfor tunes even more severe than they have hitherto expe rienced will tame this violence of party spirit ; indeed we dwell upon a perfect volcano. Our Bank paper continues depreciated, doubloons are 110 dollars, exchange upon England 71 per dollar. A few steps more, and our paper is worth nothing; and another Revolution will go far to effect this. The Provinces continue in a disturbed state ; the Unitarians combatting with those of the Fede rals. Cordova takes the lead in the former system, and its Governor-General, Paez, and his army, is in the field ; but his opponent, Quiroga, will doubtless avoid a pitched battle. In the mean time, the country districts of the Cordova Province have risen against their Governor (General Paez) and have begun a Montenero war, in which several severe skirmishes have taken place. The Unitarians expect much from the exertions of Paez ; his army, consisting of about 5000 men, is at present sup ported by taxes and contributions upon the inhabitants ; but this cannot last long ; something decisive must soon take [place. An event has occurred here which en grosses a great deal of the public attention': an officer of the name of Monteros, was shot a few days stnce at the Recoleta Barrack, by order of the Governor, ROBllB ; it is said that he deserved his fate, but the mode of execution has created much surprise.— Roses had sent for him, and ordered one of his sides-de-camp to escort him, under arrest, to the barrack, and at the same time gave to Monteros a paper (or despatch) to the commanding officer there, which, in fact, contained an order for his execution, but of which he was totally unconscious. Arrived at the Recoleta, Monteros delivered the despatch to the officer in command (Col. Prudencie Rosas), a brother of the governor. He was seized, and it was notified to him that lie must prepare fur immediate execution, for which, in fact, preparations had been made, and he was accord ingly shot. The Government of Roses bad been con spicuous for moderation, and many of his friends regret the above event. It has been defended capon the plea of the critical state of the country, that delay was full of peril ; that, had the criminal been brought to trial, accomplices must have been named, and other disclosures, fatal to the interests of the country;— that the Governor had been invested by the Legis lature with extraordinary powers, which he had, in this case, used against a rebel, who was intriguing with the friendly Indians to make war on Buenos Ayres ; that he was plotting with all the discontented to overthrow the Government and plunge the country again into anarchy ; that the proofs against him were positive, and that the most prudent method the Governor could take was to order his instant execution. You may be assured that the Unitarian party has not neglected to seize upon this event in connexion with the summary execution of Dorrego by Lavelle ; it is believed that the Ministers were not acquainted with the deter mination of Roses to execute Nlonteros,—the latter was in part an Indian, having passed moat of his life amongst them. It is reported from Chili that the army of General Pintos, the President of the Republic, has had several actions near to Santiago, the capital of Chili, in Decem ber last, with the army of his opponent, General Prieto, without any decisive results. You will see by the above hasty sketch the state of this unfortunate country. VESSELS ARRIVED SINCE JAN. 14.—Ship Larch from Rio Janeiro; Bug liana from Liverpool ; David Ricardo from Cadizl; Sir Wm. Wallace from Bonavista. Intelligence has just arrived of the loss of the British brig Henry Arnott, Little, on 2d Feb. on the Chico bank in the River Plate; she was salt laden from the Cape de Verdi. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Owing to his Majesty's health having Improved, Consols which left off yesterday at 921 to 93 for the Account, opened this morning at 93 to 6, with a fair market; at present they may be quoted 93, and for Money 921 93. In the Foreign Market nothing doing at present. - - - A Buenos Ayres Mail has arrived by his blajesty s brig Zephyr, sailed from Monte Video Feb. 10:—The Buenos Ayres Papers of the 31st Jan. state, that the discussion on the project proposed by a Committee relative to conferring honours upon the Governor and his companions in anus in the last civil contest, was definitively closed in the Sitting of the 25th instant; it was decreed that Rosa has been the reetorator of the laws : also, It confers on him the rank of Brigadier General of the Province. The accounts from Patagonia are unfavourable, and a storm threatens that province. A few days ago the Indians made their appearance in the vicinity of the fort, and sent two ambassadors with a flag of truce to treat for peace—demanding satisfaction for the depredations committed against other tribes, their friends, so. liciting tobacco, paper, &e. The Commandant listened patiently to their demands; wad when concluded, he ordered them into custody. On the following morning the Indians made their appearance on the bill opposite the fort : the alarm was given, and 120 cavalry sallied out. In the mean titre the two Ambassadors were tried and shot in front of the enemy. The Indians then marched off, and carried with them 400 head of cattle. The Inhabitants are leaving the fort, fearing they will return in great force. The samepapers communicate that General Lavalleja has been appointed /Minister of Foreign Affairs at Buenos Ayres; and by accounts that have been pub. lished of the bank notes in circulation on the 22d of February, they amount to 14,452,720 dollars. We have received, by our extraordinary conveyance, accounts from Vienna stating that the Austrian Government have given offi. cial notice that the Loans of Milan and Venice, also those of Nu. sau and the kingdom of Hungaria, bearing i per cent. interest, will be paid of in specie, on the Ist of May, 1830. By these financial measures, says the decree, the burthen on the people of the taxes will be lessened. A private letter from Marseilles of the 12th of April states, that the English corvette Palous arrived in our roads on the 9th, and sailed again in the night for Gibraltar. She left Algiers on the 4th of April, and has brought dispatches for the English and French Governments ; also letters for all the Consuls to their friends at Marseilles. The following has been learnt from the officers, that all the Consuls there demanded of the Dey to set at liberty the French prisoners, to the number of 30, which was refused by the Dey. The English Consul has embarked his family, but remains there himself, and the other Consuls have done the same. HALF-PAST ONE. The Consol Market, which 'had a lively appearance in the early part of the morning, has taken a turn. Consols have been fluc tuating during the morning from 93 to down to 9211 for the Account, at which price they are at present, with rather a heavy market. For Money, 02$ $. Up to the present hour we have no official information of his Ma jesty's health, but it Is supposed by the non-appearance of a Bul. letin that be is not worse. Not a feature in the Foreign Market worth noticing. The private letters from Buenos Ayres are gloomy. A civil war still prevails there. Exchange on London 71 per dollar. Accounts from Lisbon state, that several Proclamations of the young Queen of Portugal found their way into the hands of the troops at Lisbon, which caused a very great sensation. The Colo nels were obliged to address them on the occasion, at the same time ordering in future that they should have no communication with the inhabitants. The letters from Terceira state that two more English merchantmen were seen off the island in possession of the Portuguese blockading squadron. A Letter from the Agent to Lloyds' at Bramman, dated 20th inst. gives further particulars of the loss of the Newry, recently lost off the Coast of Wales, with the emigrants. It appears that the wreck of the Newry was broke up on Sunday, and the little washed on shore was sold by auction. This Vessel sailed from Newry on Wednesday last, with about 400 poor emigrants on board, bound to Quebec. At 10 P.M. on Friday, she struck on some rocks a few miles north of Bardseye Island, it blowing a gale, and so thick that neither land nor lights could be seen by those on board. The loss of lives has not been ascertained, the master and crew stated them not to exceed 40, but some of the passengers gave them double that number. Fourteen bodies had been found and interred. Forty to fifty men, women, and children, were brought off the wreck on Saturday morning, by four labourers. The coaduct of one of them is highly spoken of ; he risked his own life to preserve the sufferers. Letters from Upper Canada to the Bth of March have been received. The Provincial Legislature has been pro- 1 rogued under more agreeable circumstances than usual. The speech of Sir Jona? COLBURN, the Lieut. Governor, is highly satisfactory. The House of Assembly have voted £57,412, 10f. towards payment of another instalment of the war claims ; £13,000 to improve the highways ; and 1£25,000 to complete the Welland Canal. THE KING. Another day has happily passed without any unples. sant communication having been made in regard to the state of our beloved MONA RCII. It has not been deeme ‘ i necessary to issue any further Bulletin ; and we have tte heartfelt satisfaction to announce, on the authority of on: private information, that his MAJESTY'S health is con siderably improved. _ LETTER FROM WINDSOR.

GOVLBURNII NEW FINANCE SCHEME..--WO are glad to perceive that a meeting of the landholders of the county of Dublin has been convened, to take into consideration the ruinous measures contemplated by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER with respect to the agricultural interests of the country. We do most earnestly intreat every county in Ireland to imitate the example thus set them. There is not a landholder in the country who is not vitally interested in the measure pro posed. Agricultural produce, land, labour, every thing will be affected by it; and with such stimulants to exer tion, can it be possible that apathy will prevail ? Of so much importance is this subject considered in England, that a meeting of Irish proprietors is announced to take place at the Thatched House immediately after the re assembling of Parliament.—Dublin Paper.
