B Message to Congress, of which some extracts will be given in a Second Edition. A Second Letter from our distinguished Correspon dent, St DIC YY, makes its appearance in another column. We will not take from its effect, by one word on the great arguments to which he addresses himself, and for which the public—by his former letter—must be equally impatient and prepared. These are the spirits to which the drooping country now turns—full of hope for her deliverance. She shall not be disappointed. A violent controversy has arisen among the gees de la Bourse, as they are styled in France, and some of the Morning Papers, relative to the reported new Loan for the Brazilian Government. A letter signed by M. CA L• mox, the Minister of Finance, addressed, it is said, to Mr. ROT lISC II IL D, was put forth in a paper of last night, with a view of discrediting the belief so generally enter tained. For our own parts, we neither pretend to be in the secret, nor are we at all ambitious of knowing it before our neighbours. We may, however, be allowed to offer it as our opinion, that the resources of Brazil, and the great and praiseworthy attention paid to sustaining the foreign credit of the Empire, would fully justify the contracting another Loan, and render the operation of easy accomplishment. Whether the rumoured Loan be carried into effect or not, we can repeat, without fear of contradiction, that the Emperor bas resolved to vin dicate the rights of his daughter, as well as those of her persecuted subjects ; and this will, as it has hitherto been, the anxious object of our solicitude. The vigour displayed by the Government of Columbia in putting down, with such overwhelming force from all points, and with so much promptitude, the insurrection of CORDOVA and his rash adherents, affords an exem plary proof of the progress made in the administrative system. Too long have the laws been set at defiance by turbulent agitators ; and too often has impunity been permitted to their destructive violences. Coanov A's revolt had no shadow of constitutional pretext. The Convention was already assembling, that was to regulate the future system of the country ; but to-morrow we will publish some able remarks on that sub ject from the Gazette of Columbia, and this day we dttect attention to the reply sent the rebel Governor and relative of COADOV A, by the Bishop of Awr locus— a document the most honourable to the writer, and of the greatest utility to the State. With regard to the measure said to be directed against the English Consul General, we feel confident that the Columbian Government would not have acted without the greatest circumspection in any step calculated to re quire explanations with the British Government. Wo also know, that Col. CAMPBELL, our Charge d'Affaires, was at Bogota, than whom the British nation has not a more active, efficient, and honourable representative, and his continued residence there was a proof that no act of arbitrary severity had been directed against the official agents under his protection. We are acquainted with the particulars of the transac tions founding the grounds of complaint against Mr. Haw DIRSON ; but as he is not in England to vindicate himself, we shall refrain from giving ex-parte statements that might prejudice his case. But we repeat that it will be found the Columbian Government, in the course of these proceedings, has acted with prudence, kindness, and so much forbearance, as not to afford the slightest ground for umbrage being taken by the British Authorities. And .1 we again and again caution the bond fide Bondholders from being made the victims of jobbers, who seize every incident, however unfounded, to depreciate and dispos sess them of their property. General BoLiv s a, who had been indisposed, was re covered, and on his route from Guayaquil, and it is cal culated that the peace with Peru would release 10,0001 Columbian troops from the South, and permit a great reduction of expense. Some of them were already on their march towards the Magdalena. The surrender of a party of brigand insurgents, under the direction of one Cisneros, who for nine years has been infesting the province of Cumana, making the most inaccessible mountains their haunts, and darting upon the cultivated plains with an indescribable activity and doves tatinglower, has caused great satisfaction to the province, and has established internal peace throughout the Re public. We beg his Majesty's Ministers to bear in mind that these brigands had commissions frem, and were act ing under the orders of the Gov EILIJOR of Puerto Rico. The notice relative to the Isthmus of Panama seems calculated to merit attention ; but we presume the North Americans will anticipate all the European bidding. We have felt much pride in the increased distinction of our gallant countryman, General O'LEAZY. Within little more than one year he has been distinguished as the valorous defender of the batteries of Guayaquil—" doing honour to his rank as one of the Aide-de Camps of the Liberator"—he has been made a Major-General in the field of battle at Tarqui ; and now, by his zeal, resolution, and prudence, he has stifled rebellion in its bud, and restored peace to Columbia. His despatches do credit to his good taste as well as heart. The Debella has again returned to the subject of Prince LEOPOLD'S reported nomination for the Throne of Greece, and, as might be expected, made it subservient to the undiminished hatred and hostility of the liberal Party to the Noble Duke and his friends. Two of the Morning Papers have noticed the ar ticle in question, which is certainly neither deficient in virulence or declamation. While we admit that the reasoning of the writer is precisely such as might be looked for on the part of men, who, like the liberals of France, regard the present Government of this country as being leagued against human liberty, we are far from agreeing with all his conclusions. Sup posing it to be true that the Prince is really destined to assume the sovereignty of Greece, we sincerely hope he may be found to possess sufficient energy and talent for the arduous and difficult task of reconciling the jarring interests and curbing the turbulent passions of his sub jects. What we repeat in direct opposition to the idea of a Morning Contemporary, is the impossi bility of his retaining the enormous allowance from this country, granted to him for a totally different object,—consistent with any principle of equity and justice. We are convinced that Parliament will never consent to an act, which would be as ruinous to the in terests of this country, which can so ill afford the grant, as it would be prejudicial to his popularity in the new State. We call the attention of our readers to a communica tion on the last page of our paper, on the subject of the Parish affairs of Saint Pancras. These, indeed, appear to be in a very equivocal condition ; and it is to be hoped that the voice of such a body of respectable pa rishioners may be heard. Of all the obnoxious local abuses with which we are afflicted, those of Corporations and Commissions are the most grievous to be borne, and the most unjust in their operation generally. Of the Pan cra affairs much more remains to be told; and in due time the public shall be made acquainted with them all. CiTY, TwALvic o'CLocs. The British Funds. which kit of yesterday rather beery at 93a to h, opened with a Armee appearance this morning at 9$ j for the Account, which, no doubt. Is owing to the first transfer of Consols taking place this day. and the dividends payable to-morrow and Monday. No arrivals of consequence.—The Foreign Market la void of interest as yet. The packet ship Sibs, Richards, trout New York, which sailed on the uth Decensber,has arrived off Holyhead. By this ship the President's Speech is expected, and no doubt will be in town this evening. Ova Aamv Jul/MAMA, OCT. 31.—Tbe4ftd Regiment will leave Spanish Town on Wednesday morning for Port Henderson. The 22d will be replaced ►y the Slid Regiment, on the return of the transports from the north side with the 91st Regiment. The 77th Regiment, from Up-park Camp, will immediately proceed to Fort Augusta. The 84th will succeed the 77th; and the 91st Regiment will proceed to Stoney Hill. The whole of the troops, we are happy to say, are in remarkably good health, and we understand that the 22d, on embarking, will not leave a man behind. HALF-PAST ONE. We have but little to observe in regard to the Coasol Market, which has remained during the whole of the morning at 95 for the account, and 9.14 I for the Feb. account. Although a great deal of stock has been sold for this day, It has not bad any effect on the market, and the only operation of consequence took place in the early part of the day, when 100,000 consols were purchased. The Commissioners bought in reduced at 94. By the Flanders mall this day we have accounts from Hambro' of the Ist Jan. the funds had Improved there. The French mall still remains due. In the Foreign Market Brasil stock has got up II per cent. Greek stock has also improved 2 per cent. on account of the visit of the Duke of Wellington to Prince Cobourg. In other foreign securities little doing. We beg again to call the attention of the Police to the state of the streets. During the last week not a mop has been trundled over any part of the pavement of the west end of the town. The Ball lately given at Florence by Mr. Guisvo Onsi, one of the partners of DON AT ORM and Co. bankers, was one of the most splendid description. It was attended by the English Ambassador, Lord BURG HERSH, who, notwithstanding his indisposition, his arm being in a sling on account of his late accident, honoured it with his presence; also the Swedish and Priaisiah Am bassadors, Lord and Lady NORMAN BY, Admiral and Lady CAMPBELL, Sir JOSRPH HUD DA RT, Mr. and MTS. BARING and family, the Marquis TOARIGIANI, the Count and Countess MORTARA, the Count and Countess MOUTH anus, and upwards of 400 persons, of whom 3.50 were English. It was kept up in the most spirited manner from nine in the evening till five the next morn ing. We regret to add, that Lady BURGHIRSH was not sufficiently recovered to leave her house. Lord NORMANBT is getting up, at his elegant little theatre at Florence, Lord GLENGALL'S comedy, called The Follies of Fashion, with a peculiarly strong and appropriate cast of the characters in the drama. Lord NORMANIT will personate Lord Splashton ; Mr. CRA VEN, Sir Harry Layman; Mr. C. MATHEWS, Mr. Counter; Mr. PERRY, Major O'Simper ; Mr. D'Eo viu.s, Sir Simon Foster; Mr. THELLussow; George Foster; Lady Noammisy Miss. A. STSPHENSON, Mrs. Counter ; Lady WILLIAMSON, Lady Mary Fretful; and La Principessa BED:11010GO, the humble character ofJetint._ Lord AtvANtAT's Epil ogue w ill b e spoken by Mr. C. MATHEWS. It is rumoured that a junc tion of private theatricals between Lord NoRMANIT and Lord BUROHRRSH, who are excellent friends, is likely to be effected ; and, in that event, the regular drama sad select operas will be given alternately. These represen tations are attended by all the respectable English who peside or sojourn in Florence. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND THE PARLIAMENT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. SIR—You may readily imagine—feeling as I do for the state of our common country—that the temptation to address it through a channel so unpolluted as the columns of the STAR, is too powerful for me to resist at such a crisis. When examples of prostration so alarming as that afforded by the Kent Letter, give token of the mental servitude—the bondage—to which this once high-minded and generous nation is reduced, it is time for those, who not participating in the common de generacy, still feel that their country can be ransomed by their exertions, to make a stand by her yet undemo fished institutions : to show a faltering and faint-hearted people that there are yet among them spirits, capable and willing to undertake their salvation—minds yet un terrified at the freaks of power, yet undefiled by the mammon of corruption. Cordially acquiescing in an opinion which I find ex pressed in your paper of Monday lasts and intensely sensitive of the truth of the doctrine therein enforced, that the REPAESZNTATION of the People in Parliament is the master-key to all the grievances which now afflict us : convinced, as I am, Sir, that on this pivot all our primary exertions ought to be made to turn, I desire to be permitted to avail myself of your instrumentality, for the purpose of directing to this important—this over whelming subject—the attention of him, under whose almost absolute controul seem to have con• spired to compress the mental energies of a whole empire. It may be profitable to investigate the probable working, and the possible issue, of this all-pervading principle; and while we deplore its emasculate character, and hideous proportions, to endeavour to extract front the unwholesome weed a salutary balsam ; a powerful and efficacious—who knows? perhaps, a renovating remedy—a strong discutient medicine for the cure of the disease now feeding on the vitals of the body politic. If, Sir, the contemplation of the slavery to which we have been brought—quite as much by our own crimi nal supineness, as by his unparalleled usurpations—excite us at last in shame and anger to burst the bonds of our unseemly vassalage, it may issue even to our advantage, ultimately, that this slavery has been put upon us. For without that keen stimulant which the deep sense of our humiliation now supplies, who knows whether we might not have sunk inglorious below the mark of possible re generation, beneath the slow and tempered encroach ments of a less glaring—and therefore, more undermin ing—ambition ? Humbled and fallen as the souls of Englishmen now appear, the point of revulsion—l am persuaded—lies closer to the surface, than this lordly minister inn-. gines. I call, then, on the Duke of WELLING TON—whiIe he yet possesses it—to turn to good account this ascendency that he holds over men's minds. I call upon him to be honest to his countrymen—l call on him to be honest to hiruselL I tell the Duke of WELLINGTON that the hoar h at ' band, when neither Special Juries can avail to op press the demonstration of public opinion, nor consort *clear:lEs in his Parliament, to extricate him from the self-chosen and awdal responsibility to which he stands committed. Let him, then, if he will be wise in time—if l he will not turn quite a deaf ear to one, who would proffer honest counsel—if ho would set wholly spurn the dictates of prudence, let hiss pull up, and check his dangerous career. Let him know, and feel assured, that his fellow-subjects will no longer passively assent to bear the continued pressure of undeserved wrongs ; that they will no longer tamely witness his invasion of the public liberties, nor submit unresisting to the fraudulent de nial of rights, too long injuriously withheld. Let him not lay to his bosom the fallacious hope, that—without the intervention of some extraordinary legislative enact ment—the Vessel of the State can ever again right itself: but, opening his mind to the admission of a great truth, to the clear Ind forcible conviction of the imperative ne cessity under which he lies, to strengthen his adminis tration by some bold and all-healing measure ; let hint announce to his MASTER and his Colleagues, his de termination to use the unbounded prevalence by which he governs—if that prevalence have not yet deserted hint—to introduce as a Cabinet measure the all-para mount question of REFORM, in the representation of Us —the PEOPLE—in Parliament. Then, indeed, may the Duke of Watunosos at-. tempt the arduous task of endeavouring to put things in order. Then, may he hope to repair the effects of a calamitous policy, and to succeed in unra velling the web, which a continuance therein will but the more intricately entangle : and then--but not until then—may be look to regain and secure the affec tions of a much abused, but ever indulgent, people.
