It will then be for the Chamber of Peers to consider if it is worth while to purchase by such sacrifices the advantage or hearing it said that the misfits tunes of the Revolution have been slightly alleviated. Accounts from Naples, dated Aug. 2, give reason to hope that the unfortunate Gallotti will be sent back to Corsica ; but it seems that a decree of perpetual proscription will be issued against him. In the absence of the King, it is said the functions of the Lieute nant of the kingdom will be exercised by the Prince of Salermo. A great deal of gold coin has been struck to supply the expenses of the journey of the King and Queen, who, it is known, are about to accompany their daughter to Spain. M. Courvoisier has not arrived at Paris, as was thought ; and the courier who was appointed to be the bearer of his nomination, found him at Useful. It is said that M. Courvoisier was very dilatory in giving his answer to the dispatches, and that it was understood be had some private business to transact at Lyons be fore be set out fur Paris. The same courier was charged with another dispatch for 31. Guernon de Renville, Procureur-General at Grenoble, who would have been appointed Keeper of the Seals, in the event of the refusal of M. Courvoisier. THE EVENING STAR. 1_ 1 , ' '''' '•-•`•—• --:•,) ...;„1/6 ' ___--, ' ' . - 's.r . V l l ( W' , 1), ..A '') fi.

PAIP Brazilian 35 2O 72 73 Colombian 100 33i 32i Guardian Fire Au. 100 10 22j Protector Fire YO I It 56 It appears that the Expedition from the Havannah has sailed, consisting of 3,500 land troops, and 800 marines. This can only be considered as a buccaneering enterprise, with no other object than to desolate the country on which it may obtain a momentary footing—to agitate the whole Republic—to interrupt its trade and general commerce—and to afford a pretext for farther delay in the payment of its foreign debts. Nothing can be more unjust than the permission granted by the British Go vernment for such an expedition to sail, when it is re membered that Mexico and Colombia were kept for four or five years under restriction from sending any arma ment against Cuba or Puerto Rico, to dislodge the Spa nish power from those offensive stations. We trust that this will become the subject of grave investigation when Parliament meets ; and we call upon Mr. M.31(15501.1 by name—as the colleague of Mr. CANNING in his South American policy—to vindicate the welfare of the New World from a farther prosecution of such a partial and mischievous system of neutrality. We will say nothing of the prejudices occasioned to British interests by this predilection for FERDINAND'S tyranny, as no man is better qualified than the Right Honourable Gen tleman himself to appreciate all its evils in all its bearings. We have received a copy of the Colombian Tariff, which will be read with interest. Its rate of duties will be found very high, as well on merchandise imported in national ships, as on imports in foreign bottoms. The augmented expenses of the Republic, growing out of the necessity of a defensive attitude against Spain, and the nearer nuisance of Peruvian aggression, are the chief causes assigned for this exaltation. It is to be hoped that the first of these causes will be very transient, and that the latter will not long perniciously prevail : though it will be perceived elsewhere—in an extract which we have given to-day from a private letter of BOLIVAR, to 'a distinguished friend of his in this country—that the behaviour of Peru has caused much trouble to the LIBERATOR. In the preamble to the Decree, it is also urged that many of the original regulations, of acknow ledged utility at the time of their establishment, have become since prejudicial to the commerce of the Republic : and last—but by no manner of means least—" That it is absolutely necessary to secure as great a revenue as possible from the import duties?' This principle may be carried too far, in sonic instances, and operate to the injury of the State, even though it yield triflingly to the revenue. Take, as an example, the Very first class of articles in the Tariff; ill-assorted, in our opinion, inasmuch as objects of the highest luxury— such as precious stones, lace, fine lawn and cambric— are confounded in it with the commonest necessaries of life and commerce. Here the inequality of taxation is forcibly illustrated in the fact, that an emerald necklace pays the same ad valorem duty as a chest of medicines ; and a lace frock, as a ship's cable, or a patent plough ! Now the chest of,. medicines—especially in so insalu brious a climate as Colombia—ought to pa,y next to nothing; and the indulgence granted by the Fiscal to this indispensable article, should be made up by a ti sitation upon lace frocks and emeralds. As the law now stands, it cuts against the Treasury in two ways : first, by exacting an almost prohibitory duty on necessaries, which tends to keep the quantity of imports always below the demand ; and secondly, by admitting at an inferior scale articles of ornament and luxury, which would bear a much higher assessment. It is affirmed in quarters which command credit, that the High Personage who pledged to Donna MARIA Wore all his guests at the royal banquet, and drank her health air Queen of PORTUO A L, and his interesting Aally, views with open dissatisfaction the conduct which has led to her recal by her Imperial Father. There is no sympathy in that gracious boom with the proceedings of the Noble Earl, but on the contrary, an anxiety which does honour to so feeling a hearty not to be confounded with Minis tors, who have acted throughout in this mines& without consulting it IM. In the mean time, thi young QUEEN'S departure is arranged, yet, for no specific day ; nor should we be surprised, at last, to fins it post poned ad Grecas Calendas. That MI touches the term of his usurped authority, is now noorious ; and his niece, Donna MARIA, may not—aftm all—be so far from her diadem. Appearances are deceitfu things. There is a Brazil Mail this day, which brought us Riode Janeiro Papers—the Diario Flunsinense—from the 18th to the 25th June inclusive—the most interesting portions of which will be found in the ellowing abridgement : These Papers are filled with the proceedings of the tvo Cham ber., and Ordinances of the Government of a local Defoe. The Chamber of Senators has before it " a project of law relative to the rights of foreigners residing in the empire." Some of the articles are stated to have been agreed to, and some amendments proposed which were to be considered afterwards. The 12th Article was passed in the following terms :—" The foreigner may freely publish his opinions, being answerable for abuses, according to law." The tenor of the other Articles is net given. In the Sitting of the 12th June, a messenger front the Misister of Foreign Affairs announced that his Majesty the Emperor had found himself under the necessity of giving to the Senator Marquis de S. Joao, a commission out of the empire for the service of the State : the Marquis de Aracaty requesting that no time might be lost, as the matter was of immediate importance, it was considered on the instant, and leave given to that Senator to go on the intended mission. The Chamber of Deputies has been engaged in discussing a project of law relative to the Bank. The Report of the Committee of the Constitution, on the conduci of the Minister of Justice, with respect to the affairs at Pernambtco, bad given rise to a long debate in the Chamber of Deputies on the 11th and 12th June, on which days Senhors Mafia and Clemente Pereira, spoke at great length in favour of the Report. The con clusion is not given, as the proceedings of the Chamber are not brought down later than the 12th. In another part of this sheet will be found the procla mation of the Commander of the Spanish expedition against Mexico. We now subjoin another proclama tion of General BAIIRADAS to his soldiers, which is worthy of notice for its jesuitism, and affectation of hu manity Soldiers! you are about to depart for New Spain, the theatre where, three hundred years ago, under the command of the valour ous Herman Cortes, the ancient and renowned Spaniards hllllOl , lased themselves. They conquered that beautiful country—but you go to pacify it ; to cast oblivion on the past, and to re-establish there the paternal Government of the best Monarchs. The Mexicans are not our enemies, but they are our brother,. Some have been allured iota error, and others subjugated by their tyrants. We shall encounter painful hardships, perhaps have to contend with the obstinate; but by strict discipline and valour we shall ob tain victory. " Soldiers! maintain always order in your ranks; recollect that you are Spaniards, and that in the field of battle you require strong and close union with each other. The first and main duty of the valiant is to show humanity to the conquered ; feel for their mis fortunes ; reproach them not for their past conduct. An absolute oblivion of the past is the fundamental basis of our enterprise. Pillage enriches but few, whilst it disgraces all ; it destroys the re sources, and makes enemies of the people whose friendship we wish to court. In the name of bis Majesty, I shall reward your military virtues and heroic actions ; but shall be Inexorable against him who by his conduct shall presume to dishonour the Spanish name.

CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. The Canso' market, which opened at 881, has remained, during the whole of the morning, at 881 i and 89 to i for October Ac count, with no speculations of any consequence. We now under stand that it is positively decided that the young Queen of Poo rness. will soon depart for her native country. There has been a little stir this morning in the Foreign Market in Mexican Bonds, which have improved I per cent.—caused by the report that the United States were going to assist the Mexican Government with 12 minions sterling, but no great credit is given to it. The Spanish expedition his been seen steering towards Antonio.—Mexican, 181 19; Columbian, 161 1. Quebec Papers to the 17th July, and Montreal to the 15th July, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, but their contents are not of much interest. The following are extracts : In virtue of the Militia Ordinances now in force, his Excellency has relieved from military duty all the per sons employed in the militia departments of Quebec and Montreal, by a general order. QuEBEC. JULY 16.—The weather has been very un settled for these last ten or twelve days. The crops of grain are upon the whole as good as might be expected. In the City there is no further information from the theatre of war in the East; but the Cite believe that the uninterrupted success of the Russians will soon oblige the Turks to sue for an armistice. Accounts are said to be received from Corruna that, owing to the new Queen of Spain going by land to Ma drid, orders have been sent to Ferrol for the Hero, of 84 guns ; Valiente, of 22 ; and the MatEtla, of 24, to get ready for the Havannah. Also 2,.500 troops are to be embarked for the same destination. BARB A DOES, JUN E s.—Accounts from most part of the country, we are sorry to observe, are still very dis tressing, so many ponds being now perfectly dry ; and should not the ports be opened, the white population will suffer in the extreme. Demerara papers to the 2d July, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, which states, that by accounts from St. Kitts, the government of th a t island - had received orde r s f rom England to have the for tification and barracks put into repair, as it was the inten tion of Government to send out troops, and to make that island the central depot. Accounts are in town from Rio Janeiro of the sth July, via Bahia, which is several days later than the Brazil mail received this morning by the Ganges. The exchange at Rio was 26, and looking up. The Royalist packet had arrived out in 39 days, and was to sail on the 9th July. SUBSTITUTE FOR A BLOW PlPE.—Take a common tebacco-pipe and break it at the thick part over the middle; scrape the interior of the thick end of either pipe with a triangular Ale, or an old penknife, till sulAciently enlarged to admit a bu g l e b ea d of the proper size. Fix it in its place with plaster of Paris and water, and when dry coat it with clay and sand. The bugle must be ground smooth at the end intended for the nozzle, The flame produced by this blow-pipe properly used is equal to tha t of the more expensive instruments usually sold in tke shops.—Mahe lain' Marsha. • GENERAL BOLIVAR. We feel much gratified in being able to insert the fol lowing extract of a letter from General Liotiv Alt to a persori in England, whom he honours by his friendship. The letter is dated Quito, April 27, 1829. It is cha racteristic of the writer, whom we consider to be one of the most virtuous as well as eminent men, to whom the welfare of nations was ever committed. No ruler ever more faithfully discharged his trust—no possessor of irresponsible power ever regulated his will by more atten tion to public rights. His glory only needed for its fullest completion, in the esteem of mankind, that proof of moderation in victory, and under outrage, which his conduct towards Peru, or rather the faction of General LA MA R, has afforded : and his expressions of regret at the anarchy that has desolated, discredited, and put in jeopardy the South American States, are the best answers that could be given to the calumniators of his policy, whilst they at the same time offer the most satisfactory security for the maintenance of order in the more fortu nate country over which he presides. - _ " Qom, Arius 27. 1829. " You cannot possibly conceive all that has passed between Pent and us. Its Government declares war against us—we conquer them—and in the midst of our triumphs, we concede to them an honourable peace. Notwithstanding our generosity, they do not fulfil the Treaty, and continue the war with greater enormities than ever. Moreover, General La Mae perseveres to insult us most grossly in all his official communicadons—destitute of justice and reason, he pours forth his invective against us—in fact, we continue the war in spite of ourselves, and of our moderation. which has descended even to humility ! The Public Papers would inform you of all these things—l have not wished to leave the slightest pretext for Envy or Malice to dare even an insinuation against me for harbouring ambitious views. It will now be seen that the fault of the war does nut rest with us, and that we have given every proof that could be demanded of our love of peace. My Proclamation will convince you of the eaceasive forbear ance I have displayed, in order to disarm my very enemies. —I have the satisfaction to inform you, however, that Bolivia, now under the direction of my friend General SANTA Curs, has re established her laws with her independence, and is co operating with a great portion of the Peruvians--sensible of the inju4tice of the war—to accelerate its termination. Hopes may therefore be entertained of some early favourable changes. " You will no doubt have felt scandalised by the occurrences in Mexico and the other American Republics. These lamentable disorders of America justify my political conduct, and the prin ciples by which it has been directed: and I trust that an impartial world—should it think rime in this epoch of turbulence—will put in contrast the system of order I have always advocated with these proceedings of anarchy—and render me that justice which I alone desire. (Signed) " BOLIVAR." FRENCH MINISTRY. The Chronicle of this morning publishes a history of the change of Ministry in France, front one, he describes as a correspondent of a daily paper, who professes to be well informed. He begins with—" the cause of the dismissal of the French Ministry, and the appointment of the present one, has no connection with either the policy of the English Cabinet, or with the European system of politics"--and from thence, in proof of his assertion, this wise oracle proceeds,with &Pope-and-Ea story, to narrate how the Newßoman Power having addressed a " Lobo encycliyue" worthy of the dark ages, to the Bishops and Archbishops of Frasco,—repeating aca themes against every religious sect which the spread of knowledge has established, confronting every liberal institution, and expressing a hatred V Constitutional and popular Governinents,—the Council of &ate, as well as the Ministry, condemned it in the strongest terms; and would not permit its circulation or publication. Now, this proves so far that the Pore, conhdently audacious under the strenuous protection of the Goths, and the encouraging seal of his Jesuit militia, everywhere machinating with success, dares to launch his old thunder in the common cause against the very nation that so lately did, and may again, pluck the ape of St. Peter from his easy chair. The party that has wrought with such success in Spain, Portugal, Flanders, and Ireland, under the same fostering auspices, was alone frustrated in France ; and it was the conduct of French Ministers, refractory to what this well-informed Correspondent of daily papers styles European system of politics, that drew down the ban and excommunication of the Holy Sze, his abettor Max. TIIINICH, and their Many political accomplices.—Solomon goes on to state—" That the high church party in France," (namely, the bigotted supporters of superannuated systems—the silken willing sl.ves of despotism, who give the charter their malediction, and would restore the Inquisition and the Waite on the ruins of free institutions) "bring infuriates!, sought the King, and repre sented that the firm conduct of Ministers was an attack upon religion itself ;" which, being believed by the descendant of limey the Fourth, alarmed by the menaces and loud complaints of the Ultra party, be agreed to supersede the delinquents, by Ministers that would show more respect for Popes' Bulls, and Excommunis eating Circulars ; and condemn, in unison with his enlightened HOLINESS and his Vienna friend, "all liberal ieutitediass and Om dilutions: and popular Governments." For the Chief of this Papist Anti-Constitutional Cabinet, whom could be better select than the friend and confident of the Duke of Wat.temrtnt and Lord Aasanasw ? the common proselyte of Mertsairecu, the worshipper of feudal forms, and over-bloated Aristocracy—the participator Is those English intrigues which agonize Greece, and have given a bloody Usurper to the Throne of Portugal. The Correspondent of the Chronicle, professing to be so well informed, must in future support his pretensions with more consistent arguments. We maintain that the appointment of the present Ministers in France is not only " connected with the English Cabinet and the European system of politics," but that these Ministers are the advance-guard of the Nlarateencu faction, pushed forward to pioneer the way before the moat audacious and strongly combined attempts to tr. trograde society, and arrest the progress of universal improvement. ••* • * THE PRESS. The Bediantite fury and Billingsgate which, to the degradation and dishonour of each other, two servile Papers have been vomiting upon their columns for some weeks past, have at length assumed a tone of reckless violence and contempt of decorum, that must not longer escape our animadversion. The grossest personalities, the most infamous accusations, menaces of chastise ment, and dark hints of disgraceful exposure, are practised and re torted every morning and evening —as if it was the duty of those men to bate the public with their disgusting jars and jealousies, and fill a paper, for which it must pay seven-pence sterling, with language so derogatory to the Press, and offensive to the taste of Gentlemen. Surely the mutual cause of offence that warrants those writers, in their own peculiar minds, to shower down such monstrous phillippks against each other, must be of a most heinous magnitude. le that case, these pretended guides of public thought should remember that this country is blessed with tribunals of justice. instituted for the support of public peace and individual protection ; or if they spurn this mode of repairing honour, there are other means to which gentlemen have recourse, without making the publi c p art y to a ll t h e i mpert i nence and dill: ce sting detail of private brawl. Further perseverance in such indecent vituperation will, we are convinced, injure them irreme diably with all readers, who cannot be subjected to t h e h a rdship o f having such injurious l anguage foisted upon them, without resenting the insult thus continually offered to their understanding. The last word is miserable triumph; while in a discussion of this c haracter, first silence is the best policy. THE COLOMBIAN TARIFF.
