It is, however, time now to put a stop to this continuous outrage of the public feeling, end to give him and his tools warning of the precipice which yawns beneath them. Hank not been sufficient to defile the wife, and destroy the husband? What more would the illustrious RA v times have ? The fruits of his damned amour, without their disho nour ?—never. He hu rioted in guilt —let him take the in famy without murmuring. Ttupitucle is his name, even more truly than her's. is " frailty." -It wad not our intention to recur to the scenes and actors in this melancholy drama, had we not seen lately—with mingled disgust and abhorrence—a regular scheme, on the part of the arch culprit and his adher rents, not merely to exonerate in the public eye the perpe. trators of that undeniable adultery, but to blacken and de stroy the character of an affectionate and noble relative, whose conduct towards her unhappy kiaswoman, from the first moment of the painful, discovery, has boa exemplary in 'a high degree. Two or three articles in the Morning Journal, and one yesterday la a Sunday , Paper—evidently traceable to the same source—now eon.' strain ts to speak out ; and to give' notice to that crimini% Person, and his agents, that if they do not forth;tith refrain from their vei;omius and dark malignities, whole detail of perpOratial shall be *inky and *cm stantially unravelled. 7111, bait sad Ticked stows t, screen the real deli:negate et the *pow e( salsa...Bk unelisormg porty; le ase bias tier*Pi 0040 abaujedans. •If we are . datvol to it,, , eoeleeasia . i• • . . the • •Js ; .. •..iri.~Y that we will bring forward facts, which—but for vile aspersions—might never have seen the 1 facts of so revolting a character, and so damning in ill their circumstance, that the parties upon whom they shall be charged could not live before the tempest of popular execration, which their simple recital wou'd Conjure up. So far from that noble and injured Lady having either invented, or propagated the scandal attri buted to her, elle received her first knowledge of the face which destroyed the domestic peace of her late lamented relative from his own mouth, as did also other members of the family,some time after the matter was known to many, and was becoming daily more and more a theme of public animadversion. The conduct which she has put sued since, Las been the reverse of that imputel to her by these malignant and cruel defamers. Let then abstain, therefore—if they be not mad, as well as crimi nal—from pushing matters to extremity, by dissemi. nating falsehoods, which will compel us to let in such light upon these guilty mysteries, as shall make the prin cipal Actor in them too happy to escape in precipitation t• , circles and countries, more congenial to his abandoned habits and depraved propensities. When a morning contemporary asserted some days' ago that General IC Iwo was dismissed from his situa tion at Court in consequence of having voted in the mi nority, we at once denied the probability of His MA JESTY'S being capable of such interference with the independence of Parliament. The assertion of the Times having been contradicted by his evening satellite on Saturday, it is repeated to-day in the " leading journal" with a becoming compliment, such as " our excellent con temporary is not usually pertinacious in error !" We shall only say that should the report prove correct, nothing shall ever induce us to believe that General KING would have experienced this signal proof of the Royal displeasure, bad it not been for an interference which it is needless to point out. We have had too many specimens of the oummary mode in which Mi nisters and other public servants are dismissed during the last two years, to be at any loss on the subject of Lord MOUNTCHAALES :or General KING. We should like to know who is to be the next victim at Windsor ? By the express from Paris at an early hour this morn ing, we have French journals of Friday, from which we make the subjoined selections : From the Gazette de France. VIENNA, FEL 2. The mail from Constantinople, dated 11th January, did not arrive till to.day. The Captain Pacha, Papondchi, Acbmet Pacha, who, by severe illness, had been brought to the brink of the grave, has been saved by the care of the French physician, Dr. Baiilie, who has made a long stay In;Greece, and has now been for some time at Constantinople. The Beet from Alexandria, which has been so long expected, arrived in the port of Constantinople on the 27th of De cember, to the number of sixteen sail. Divisions of troops from Shumla are daily arriving. Fable Pacha, Osman Pacha, and Hussein Pacha, are also arrived in the capital. The latter, who particularly distinguished himself by his courage, was received with great distinction by the Sultan, who gave him the Order of Military Merit, richly set in diamond,. PARIS, Yes. 12. The official part of the Moniteur contains a Royal Ordinance by which Dudon is appointed President of the Departmental Col. lege of the Lower Loire. On the 17th of January the Grand Duke of Tuscany, returning from a journey, was overturned in his carriage near Arreso. His Royal Highness had his shoulder.blade broken; but it hoped, bow. ever, that the accident will not have any serious consequences. From the Journal des Debats. WARSAW, JAW. 24. The exchange of couriers between Paris, Petersburgh, and London, is very frequent. The choke of a Bing for Greece seems to occupy these Cabinets. Russia wishes to have Prince Frederick of the Netherlands, and will not consent to the ap. pointment of the Prince of Coburg, except on certain conii. lions; one of which is, that he shall be completely in. dependent of England, and for that purpose he shall give up his pension, or convert it into a capital to be hypothe. rated somewhere beyond the jurisdiction of England. It Is thought that the English Cabinet will agree to this proposition, and that it will apply to Parliament for a round sum In lieu of the an. nual pension. There is no obstacle at Petersburg to the marriage 1 of this Prince with a Princess of Orleans, which, on the contrary, is looked upon u advantageous to Greece. We learn from Constantinople, that M. de Boutinieff has sun. ceeded in obtaining from the Porte, the firmans which be required for the navigation of the. Black Sea. A letter from Dresden, of the 4th February, says her Royal High. tress Princess Amelia Augustus, the wife of Prince John, has been safely delivered of a Princess. (From the Jourpial du Commerce.) MADRID, FEB. 2. The following Deaee, respecting the debt of Holland, of the (hl of January, has only just been published : ROYAL DECREE. " Convinced of the necessity of fulfilling the obligations con. erected by my illustrious predecessors, and, amouc others, to i t charge our debt to Holland, which' bithalsi we lime nal beim to do, as well from want of means u from dlMe.." °Sanwa with the business itself—with the idea of paying what was justly due, I thought priper to have the advice of a CoMmission in which I placed great confidence, and which was acquainted with these kind at transactions.

A Madera Mail brought yesterday Brussels Papers to the 13th February, and the Allgemeine Zeitung to the 7th February. The following are extracts : BRUSSELS, Fes. 10. Yesterday evening we learnt with regret what we at first could not believe, but what we find to be too true, that the Editors of the Courricr die Pays Bas and of the Delp, after having undergoes examination, were put under arrest, on account of the publication of the letter of M. De Potter, relative to the project of a National Subscription. M. De Potter was also interrogated and llama diately put into solitary confinement..—Journa, de la Belgivw. Fes. 11.—It appears that M. De Potter's letter on the project of a National Subscription is attempted to be represented as tend ing to organize a conspiracy to overturn or to change the Govern ment. The prosecution has been commenced by virtue of Art. 87 and 102 of the French Penal Codc, xhich is still in force. Yesterday afternoon M. de Potter was interrogated by M. Coun sellor Delecourt and afterwards placed in solitary confinement, oily with a guard in his room ; not even his mother has been allowed to see him. Messrs. Coche-Motuens and Vanderstrachten, summoned the same day to appear at five in the afternoon, were interrogated by M. Delecourt, and immediately sent to prison at the Petits Caress., and put in solitary confinement. These rigorous measures hare plunged three respectable families in profound affliction, and the real friends of their country are equally grieved at these new proceedings.—Jostrosal de la Belgique. FZB. 12.—M. de Potter, Coche-Blontens, and Vanderstrachten, are still kept oa secret. It is said the papers of M. de Potter have been put under seal.--Journal de la Belgique. •••4 BRUSSELS, Fan. 12. ..1•••• A Journal abuses our respect for misfortune, which we still hold sacred, mid is surprised that we have not spoken so soon as itself of judicial proceedings, of which we were first informed 1 through its columns. We might be surprised that the same I Journal should aggravate the fate of its friends ; and not comptehend what is due to their intentions. After wholly setting aside every question concerning persons only, we answer, not without regret, to the attack made on us; we will re peat, that the organisation of a hostile system having its own ex chequer, paying salaries, decreeing honorary rewards, has appeared to us to be a most ridiculous Idea in the midst of a nation habitn ated to reflection, and faithful to its oaths. As fur the idea, was it, as our adversaries maintain, really serious ? Was it intended to create in the midst of the state another general administration for the advantage of a party ? We flatter ourselves that in this sup position, which is not ours, it is not to us that the question should be put, whether it is the duty of the Constitutional Government to provide with firmness for its own preservation t o maintain the authority of the laws, and to preserve the Crown from the attacks of faction ?—Gaulle des Pays Bas, Feb. 13. AUGSBURG, FED. 6. A letter from Silesia of 31st January, says, that the political news from the North is in direct contradiction, as far as the affairs of Russia, Turkey, and Greece are concerned, with those that come in such various shapes from the South and the West. Far from expressing any ground for alarm for the renewal of the war, the accounts num Anemia speak only of the uninterrupted friendly negociations, relative indeed to subjects Involved in great difficulties, but which have not yet given rise to any s ort of misunderstanding, and the execution and duration Of the peace of Adrianople, are beyond all doubt. Turkish Am. bassadon Mere on their way to St. Petersburgh. Russian negociators : are at Constantinople, end the Ambassador is hourly expeted there. The Black Sea is open; the stipulations re lative to Sepia and the Principalities are beginning to be carried into effect ; the Greeks possess their territory, and the Turks occupy the provinces evacuated by the Russians. With respect to the in. demnity to Russia, the Porte, not denying its obligation to pay it, negotiates to obtain some reduction from the generosity of the other party. As for the future Sovereign of Greece, perhaps the people may be kft to settle its own affairs under the President. As for a renewal of the war, the certain consequences would be, to put Con. standoople in possession of the Russian army, which was stopped on its way by the treaty of Adrianople. Prance and England cer. tainly have no mind to ;engage in a war in which the exertion of their whole force would fail of the principal object—namely, to save Coestintinople.—Allosseine Zsituteg. By the Eclipse packet, D. Thomas Mascarahas, Cham berlain to the young Quzzw of Portugal, came from Rio, with dispatches, the nature:of which has not trans pired. We presume that the change of Ministry in Brazil, has at once settled the question of Portugal, and that the reign of usurpation draws to an end. The pub lic discontent in that wretched country, the imbecility of the tyrant's government, the incapacity of the men who surround him, have never been more striking than since the death of the Dowager Queen. With the present elements Portugal will ever be the Theatre of misery and civil war. Tranquillity is impossible while the pre sent men bear sway, men who have reduced the country to a state more deplorable than that in-which it was left by the dreadful earthquake about 70 years ago. Any force sent from Terceira, which might serve for a point d'appui, would be more than sufficient to put an end to the reign of terror and desolation, as nine-tenths of the population would immediately break out into insurrection. Some of our Contemporaries have announced the ar rival of the Brazilian frigate Isabella at Plymouth, with the Marchioness of SANTO% and her daughter on board. We can state, on good authority, that the Marchioness is not a passenger by that vessel, and that her daughter only has arrived. She is an infant of between nine and ten years of age, entitled Duchess of GOYA IRS, and the .natural child of the Emperor Dow PaDnO. The frigate was bound to Brest, but forced by adverse wind to put into Plymouth on the 9th instant. The Duchess landed on the seine day and went to the Royal Hotel, from which she meant to proceed on the following to London, stopping one night at Exeter. Her stay in town is ,likely to be short, as she is going to Pianos fee bar edu eation.—The frigate waits at Plyeasath fee crass.

We have numerous arrivals this morning from all parts, but no po litical information has as yet transpired. In the Foreign Market, the chief operation is in Spanish Bonds, which have fallen about per cent. owing to their coming two per cent. lower from Paris; but by the private letters from Holland, it appears that a great rise has taken place there in the Spanish Bonds. Brasil Stock is rather lower. In other foreign securities little doing at present.: Montreal Papers to the 10th January, Quebec to the 17th Ja. nuary, Halifax to the Bth January, Demerara to the 13th January, and New Brunswick to the Pith January, have been received this meaning at the North and South American Coffeehouse. The Montreal Papers state that it appears that the vessels em. played by Lower Canada in the fisheries have diminished from 20 to eight since the year 1822. We unierstand that the Attorney.Gtoeral has moved for a rule to show cause, in the Court of Appeal, why au attachment should not be issued against Mr. Justice Uptick', of Montreal Bench, Mr. Rolland, Advocate, Mr. Henry Mackenzie, and Sheriff Chary, for having been concerned in the second seizure of some books and pa. pas belonging to the North West Company. The judgment of tht Court of Appeals was that the first seizure was illegal. The Halifax Papers say that the late accounts from Bermuda state that Sir Peregrine Maitland's health was not favourable. He was confined to his house. It appears that the markets at Jamaica were very dull, but at Bee. bice they were better. The New Brunswick Papers say that the Parliament of Lower Canada was to meet on the 10th January. From the Demerara Paper we learn that the transport with th 81st Regiment has arrived.:at Bermuda. LIVERPOOL, Far. 13.—There being but a small supply of Bri. tish Plantation sugar in the market, the business done for this week is limited. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. There are no speculations of any importance going forward in the Consol Market to the present hour, and Consols have continued the whole of the morning at 92j, alternately buyers and sellers ; for the Account for Money 92e e, for next Account 94 93. The favourite speculation this morning is Spanish Stock in the Foreign Market ; it has been done as low as 121, and at present may be quoted 14e. In other Foreign Stock little doing. Lima Papas have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 30th of October, but their contents are void of interest. The Feench division composed of two frigates and three corvettes, which sailed from Brest, has arrived at Martinique on the 18th Dee. At that period the above Island was In goodhealth and all was quiet there. We have advices from the Cape of Good Hope to the 3d December, which communicate some very interesting intelligence from Swan River; and although not of later date than the preceding arrival, is far more descriptive than those yet received. It appears that Capt. Stirling's expe dition arrived out at the beginning of winter ; perhaps no expedition ever reached an uninhabited coast at a worse season, and with worse protection from the rains and winds so prevalent there. It appears that Cockburn Sound is the only safe anchorage near Swan River, and this is capable of containing several hundred ships in water of from four to fourteen fathom. Garden Island is send, but covered with trees, and the loftiest part is near 200 feet high. By digging wells in the sand water is obt.iinati, but of bad quality ; about twenty miles up the Swan River about 2,000 acres of good land had been discovered, and higher up the river it is said to be better. Lieutenant Preston was gone on an ex ploring expedition, and it was expected he would dis cover a third branch of the River, which it was thought would prove a principal one. The chart is said to be very erroneous. The climate is represented in these letters as beyond doubt one of the finest in the world, except when the wind is N.N.W. and notwithstanding the rainy and windy weather, the settlers were remarkably healthy. The scenery in the vicinity of the Swan River is said to be beautiful. The scite chosen for the town of Perth seems very favourable ; the principal part was to be built on a natural terrace, a little below the islands on the Swan River. An expedition for cross ing Darling's Range was about to set out, and excited great expectation, as it was generally believed a fine country would be discovered. The agricultural land fit for tillage was thought to be confined to the vicinity of the river, the rest of the country being a light sandy soil, fitted for pasturage. There was abundance of fine fish in Cockburn Sound, as well as in the rivers and lakes, which abound throughout the country. Remarkably fine limestone had been found as well as the New South Wales cedars in large quantities, and it was expected these, with salt fish, would be the first exports from the New Colony. The new river discovered run ning to the southward had not been explored on account of the season. The natives had not troubled the settlers lin any interviews they had had, but they did not like the Colonists approaching their wigwams, although they sometimes came down and willingly parted with a spear or throwing stick for some little present. One of the privates of the sixty-third regiment was lost for a week and came suddenly on a large party of the natives with their wives and children, encamped on the side of one of the lakes. They commenced an attack upon him; but on his firing his musket and wounding one, they all retreated. The town of Perth, the destined capital of the new colony, was founded on the 12th of August, the King's birth-day ; and was situated a little above the junction of the Swan with the Melretta water. A secure town, called Free mantle, bad been laid out at the mouth of the river op posite Gages Roads, and the settlers were building store houses, &c. Wednesday, a General Assembly of the Academicians of the Royal Academy of Arts was held at their apart ments in Somerset-house, when Charles Eastlake, Eeq. was duly elected a Royal Academician, in the room of George Dawe, Esq. deceased. Mr. Macauley, jun. has been elected for the borough of Caine, in the room of Mr. Abercromby. At a time when so much has been said on the subject of Ecclesiastical Reform, and of the disposition of Go vernment to aid by every just and reasonable means a correction of all abuses, it affords but a very doubtful earnest of its sincerity when we see that very worit and most inexcusable of our Church abuses, the translation of Bishops from one See to another, encouraged ; and per sonal cupidity allowed to triumph over principle and local' , and pastoral attachment, which omht to form the key-stone of Episcopal jurisdiction. We !cannot • anything more hateful in itself, or la jurists to' than this practice; or any period at which I pereevereace in it can come with a worse glees from these who have the disposal of Church preferment. . itca.me ) .i 1 ••• •• • bossmagm ' . h4.1.4.1Z14) , . . .1;17.--06al
