SOUTH AMERICAN REGISTER. " INTERCOURSE WITH COLOMBIA. The following message was received from the Pre sident of the United States : To the Senate and House of Representatives, OtexTtrunr,—The accompanying gold medal, comme morative of the delivery of the Liberator President of the Republic of Colombia from the daggers of assassins on the night of the 25th of September last, has been offend for my acceptance by that Go vernment. The respect which I entertain, as well for the character of the Liberator President, as for the people and Government over which he presided, renders this mark of their regent most gratify ing to my feelings. But lam prevented from complying with their wishes, by tire provision of our constitution, forbidding the acceptance of presents from foreign States by the officers of the United States ; and it is therefore placed at the disposal of Congress. " The powerful influence in the affairs of hie country, which the sacrifices and heroic deeds of General Bolivar have acquired for him, creates an anxiety as to his future course, in which the friends of liberal institutions throughout the world deeply participate. The favourable estimate which I have formed of the nature of the see. vices rendered by him, and of his personal character, impresses me with the strongest confidence, that his conduct, in the present condi. Lion of his country, will be such as may best promote her true irate. rest, and beat secure Ms own permanent fame. " I deem the present a suitable occasion to inform you, that shortly after my communication to Congress, at the opening of the Session, despatches were received from Mr. Moore, the Envoy Extraor dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States to Co lorable, stating that he had succeeded in obtaining the assent of the Council of Ministers to the allowance of the claims of our citizens upon that Government, in the cases of the brig Josephine and her cargo, and the schooner Ranger and part of her cargo. An official copy of the convention subsequently entered into between Mr. ',Moore and the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, providing for the final settlement of these claims, has just been received at the Department of State. By an additional article of this convention, the claim in the case of the brig Morris is suspended until further information Is obtaioed by the Columbian Government from the Court at Caraccus ; and Mr.l Moore anticipates its early and satisfactory ajustment. " The convention only wanted the ratification of the Liberator President, who was, at the time, absent from Bogota, to be binding upon the Colombian Government. Although these claims are not comparatively of a large amount, yet the prompt and equitable min ter in which the applies ion of Mr. Moore in behalf of our injured Citizens ass met by that government entitles its conduct to our ap probation and promises well for the future relations of the two countries. " It gives me pleasure to add an expression of my entire satisfac tion with the conduct of Mr. Moore since his arrival at Bogota. The judgment and discretion evinced by him on occasions of much interest and delicacy,--the assiduity displayed in bringing so nearly to a conclusion, within five weeks after the arrival, claims which ha been pending for !years„--and the promptitude and capacity with which he bas entered upon other and more important portions of his official duty, are calculated to inspire strong confidence in his future usefulness. " ANDREW JACKSON. "Jan. 19. " The message mid medal were referred to the committee on foreign affairs." THE KING. WINDSOR, FEB. 14.—This forenoon the KING, ac companied by the distinguished members of his Household in wait. ing, with the numerous domestics attached, attended Divine Ser•. vice, which was performed in the music -room, where a select party of the Royal Band attended, and played several pieces of sacred music during the service. The Rev. Mr. SEYMOUR officiated. The Kura, since taking up his residence at the Castle, on the 21st of December, owing to the severity of the weather, was confined to his apartments until Friday last; the weather proving favourable on that day, hie MAJESTY embraced the opportunity of taking an airing. His MAJESTY'S phaeton and another were ordered, and, at two o'clock, the Kuro, accompanied by the LORD SWicwano, en. tared his phaeton, attended by Sir A. BARNARD and Colonel THORNTON, in another phaeton, with the usual retinue of outriders, preceded by the forester, in green. On his MAJESTY'S leaving the Castle, he proceeded by the new line of road to the Long Walk, and visited the Royal Lodge. His MAJESTY afterwards proceeded by Cumberiand-lodge and the Obelisk to Virginia Wa. ter, in the vicinity of which he took a few of his favourite drives, and returned by-Sandpit-gate, Queen Anne's Drive, and the Long Walk, to the Castle, where his lilarrsri arrived at four o'clock, and, at seven o'clock, honoured the distinguished members of his household with his company to dinner. Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, the KING, accompanied with the usual attendants as on Friday, left the Castle in his pony phaeton, which he drives himself, and proceeded by the Long Walk to the middle gate and Queen Anne's Avenue to Sandpit.gate, and from thence to Sunning. hill, returning by Cranbourn.lodge to the Castle. His AI AJESTY, with his usual humanity, in consequence of the continuance of the severity of the weather, has been graciously pleased to forward the additional sum of fifty guineas to the Rev. J. Goer, Vicar of Windsor, for the further relief of the poor of this place. The members of the Household, following the example of their Royal Master, have, in addition, generously subscribed the sum of £llB 2s. which was forwarded to ROBERT TFSROTT, Esq. the Magistrate of the borough, which sums, with the oasis. LUICC of a Committee of gentlemen of the town, have been disposed of as under :-1,150 bushels of coals ; (100 bushels of potatoes ; 600 yards of flannel ; blanketing, soup, Ite.

Divine Service was performed yesterday morning in the private chapel at the King's Palace at Kensing ton, before the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Victoria, and their Royal Highness's Household, by the Chaplain to the Royal Duchess. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the Lord Chan cellor, the Duke of Wellington, Earls Bathurst, Rosalyn, and Aberdeen, Viscount Melville, Lord Ellenborougb, Mr. Secreta r y Peel, Sir George Murray, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Herries.

The Neapolitan Minister transacted business on Sa turday at the Foreign Office. THE MARQUIS OF BLANDFORD. From the Sunday Papers. We are happy to notice ewe among the younger portion of our Arista:my who, laying aside these frivolities, the too common ap pendages of high rank, appears to deem )(Woolf born to something more honourable than the mere dangling after the smiles of s Cabi net Minister—we allude to the Marquis of Blandford. who, on two occasions during the last week, has nobly interposed to prevent the voting of millions of the public money in a thin House (on one evening there were only twenty-I*dt Members present), and after midnight. His remark on Tuesday, on being taunted on his fruitless opposition, was worthy of an independent Member of Parilament. We wish we could see the sentiment more generally adopted and acted on.--" I am no party," said the Noble Marquis, "to any arrangement of business fur Friday. If Hon. Gentlemen are.not in their places, it is their fault, not mine. Here I am, and here I am determined to remain, and do my duty." We think if the Marquis would try Westminster at the next General Election, we could go near to ensure his success.— Nem. Oppose. then, gentlemen of the opposition, the items of supply —do not let one of them pass without debate. The conduct of the Marquis of Blandford has done him immottal honour; and we hope it will stimulate others to follow his example. Let the poor hacks of the ministry call such opposition factious, if they will ; and let their base-born scribesand servants of all.work pity the represen tative of John, Duke of Marlborough, for not being more of a gentle. man—the lickspittle plebeians of the Courier said something of the kind in the course of the week..—such we say, is the opposition that will eventually succeed. He has already succeeded in putting an end to the dlgrax/n1 practice of passing votes of millions of money in a house of twenty-eight persons--sis hundred and thirty of the representatives of the people (Heaven help the mark I) being absent! It was in vain that Goulburn whined and implored, the Marquis was firm, and the unhappy Chancellor looking as disconsolate as a kangaroo in a quinsy, was obliged to put off his trial until a more convenient opportunity, when Billy Holmes had whipped up some five score of beagles from the various kennels about the Treasury. Lord Blandford will find that the country is with him. We hope that when a dissolution of Parliament takes place (and it may be nearer than is convenient to some people) his Lordship will stand for Westminster. Every. body is disgusted by the creeping servility of Hobhouse—the vilest hack that ever lived by prostrating himself before the Minister for a share of the taxes, could not have crawled more abjectly than the gentleman who once boasted he would play the part of bloats &tavola against Mr. Canning. He would be sure to turn out if op. posed by the Marquis of Blandford.—Age. '4 • TO THE EDITOR Or THE EXANIXER. 6 8t =—l observed, without the least surprise, in your last Es maker, (p. 89) that " Mr. Peel said It was not the proper time " to enquire whether " the Marquis of Blandford " had justly de nounced "the House of Cemmons," as "tot being chosen by the people, but nominated by the proprietors of boroughs." An Attor ney-General, when he snuffs *libel, can follow the scent Into every place except one. In that privileged place it appears that Sir Francis Burdett declared in unqualified terms, that " the House, the root of all the grievances of the nation," and whose " corruption was known all over the world, was not the House of Commons, but the representatives of certain Peers and others, contrary to the law of the land." ' Of this contrariety, Mr. Peel mast have felt an overpowering conviction, and his meta console could scarcely have failed to place him among the pseudo-representatives. No wonder that " it was not the proper time" for inquiry. The Home Secretary, I am persuaded, with all his Oxford kerning, will never discover (and the difficulty has been often remarked) • presage tense to the verb reform, as applied to Parliamentary repreeentaties. A'allwas tempts, as to " that however Important subject," will rather sank high among his "golden rules" of state-policy. Nor, indeed, can it L' expected, that a member for Westbury should be such a Feld do at. or so regardless of his constituents' interests, as to admit that " the proper time" can ever have arrived. ' I had occasion to ascertain, many years since, the pretensions of that borough to appoint two of the 513, who affect to represent all the Commons of England; those Commons, on whose credulity Blackstone and other courtJawyers have, from age to age, been int. posing, while they falsely ascribed to the people an adequate than in the power of legislation. In 1792, I was engaged in the Society of " Friends of the Peo- ple," to assist in preparing that " State of the Representation," justly regarded as the text-book of Parliamentary Reformers, and for which they have been peculiarly indebted to the unwearied at tentions of the late Mr. Tierney. We, of course, circulated en. quirks in every direction,and had among our returns one from West. bury, which I well remember to have read, and it produced, with some surprise, ao little amusement. ' The borough, which sent two members, was the property of the Earl of Abingdon, and consisted of burgage.tenements, let to about 80 tenants, who thus became voters, bipeds equally at the Earl's command with the quadrupeds (such as now enable the Home Secretary to sanction as a senator his own measures as a mi nister) in his Lordship's stables. To these worthy electors " a name" was indispensable, but for " a local habitation" there was a convenient provision, in case a burgage.tenement had Men into irrecoverable ruin. A post was setup, on the vacant site, suitably painted, and by some fiction of law, a voter claimed and was ad mitted to be there an inhabitant. The Marquis of Blandford and Sir Francis Burdett will, no doubt, find" the proper time," though Mr. Peel should not discover it. He may then, however, if he pleases, dimmer what are the propor don of wooden electors among his "free and independent" constituents. Cicero, though himself of the sacred college, somewhere expresses wonder that one augur could meet another without laughing. It is equally surprising that the Chosen by Old Sarum and Westbury can preserve their gravity when they find themselves called over among the Representatives professedly elected by the Commons of England.

WOOLSACK :—ln a French paper of Teesday last we find the following, referring to our Meeting el Parliament:—" Apres le lecture. du diatomic! 4 mamma, le Lord Chassidim -rod pis« mar la Tolle de cotois f" • vfos -~.-_ MENDICITY SOCIETY. At the last general meeting of the Mendicity Society, a letter from the Earl of Hardwicke, regretting hie► in ability, in consequence of illness, to take the chair, was read and ordered to be }Hinted with the report. The following is an extract : " The circumstance which first gave rise to the institution of the Society, was a laudable endeavour on the part of the gentlemen nom whom it originated, to dear the streets of the metropolis of itinerant beggars, and at the same time afford relief to such deeerv leg objects as might really be in wart of food and clothing--rot by giving them money, but by referring them to a place where their eau{ might be investigated, and their wants relieved. This was &as by means of tickets, which entitled the bearer to relief in money and food, and in some cases in clothing. This system has, believe, produced a good effect in diminishing the number of street beggars; and, I presume, will not be discontinued so long as it may be nersesszy, if the support it receives is sufficient to main. taro it. But by far the moat useful part of the Institution, is the establishment of a place of reference for begging letters. " It is quite obvious that no individual can either have the leisure (if he possessed the inclination) to investigate the merits of the cases that are related in these letters, or the means to relieve the writers, if he were satisfied with the truth of the statements. Unless, there. fore, a general rule were made that all letters (tom persons unknown to the party to whom they are addressed are to be returned to the writer, some place to which they may be referred for investigation is indispensably necessary ; and this investigation is the most use ful, as well as the most laborious duty, that is performed by the Blendicity Society. It requires not only the employment of a large portion of time, but, in many cases, of great care, industry, and pa. tience ; and from the experience 1 have had of the manner in which their duties me performed by the officers Of the society, I should be guilty of iojustiee if I did not say that they are highly deserving of the approbation of the members of the Society. Upon the whole, I trust I shall have the concurrence of the meeting in recommending the Society to the support of the public." From the Report it appears that the number of male given within the year was 21,066, and the greatest number in any preceding, 46,407, in 1820. What a dreadful progress has misery made in this capital, when we find in the Advertisement in front of our paper, that in the single week ending Sunday 7th instant, the num ber of applicants was 14,746, to all of whom meals were given besides clothing and other assistance where neces sary, and money in all urgent cases. The correctness of this statement, so far at least as regards the number of applicants, every inhabitant of Red Lion-square or pas senger through it can corroborate. Never, we are confi dent, was exhibited in this country so frightful a picture of stark, ravenous, and raging hunger. The crowd, that every day besieged the office, and who were with diffi culty restrained by a numerous posse of police constables from crushing each other to death, appeared insensible to the blows necessarily inflicted, so completely was all other feeling lost in the intensity of the one great over whelming want which impelled them forward for relief. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Silt—l have been greatly amused with an article in the Morning Post of this day, upon Spain—having for its object to show the promising condition of that country, to extol the Government, the King, his representative at the Engiish Court, in short every thing in the present state of Spain. But whilst the writer has done all this, he has contrived, whether from fun, from malice, or from obtuseness of intellect, to take a course leading to a conclusion directly contrary. He tells us Spain is dividid into three parties, the two former possessing real power, and the first of these parties is composed of the advocates of the most violent measures,such as "the re establishment of the Inquisition."—Admirably argued ! Happy country where such parties possess the real power ! The learned publicist next ascribes to the ; " unfortunate influence" of this country, the procras tination of those conciliatory measures which Europe wishes and Ferdinand himself is most anxious to follow. This, to be sure, is a good King, and worthy of the confidence of his people, who is weak enough to sub mit to such trammels, and has not strength to break the chains by which he is bound by a furious party. A good King he certainly is in one sense—he is good for nothing. Now what are the symptoms of improve ment in Spain for the discovery of which the world is so much indebted to the Morning Post? " The canal of the Ebro will soon be completed." What is the fact ? Not one step has been taken in that week. An ex-officer of engineers, it is true, was seat there to draw some plans, but he never was paid • salary, nor even the expencee of his journey. The " spirit of investigation pervading the people of Madrid," will perhaps produce some effect in the next age. But according to the same admirable authority, there are other grounds of sanguine expectation. A rumour pre vails that Count Ofalia, Labrador, and several others, will be appointed to the Ministry, the first as Secretary of State. Now, Count Ofalia has been already Secretary of State, and what sanguine expectations did he realise ? He was dismissed.—His life was next threatened by the Royalist volunteers, even in his native town, and he was obliged to ask permission to go to France, to avoid the fury of this very party, who, the writer asserts, are yet in possession of the real power. If we could suppose that the last remnant of the dark intrigue—of Ckunarilla manoeuvring—will disappear, and make way for a more p neroue (less brutal would perhaps be more proper) systems' of politics ; we might cease to wonderfully pity that wretched country, more wretched than many of the bar barous nations of Africa. But there is no foreboding of any such thing. The same system of misgovernment is now in greater force than in the scandalous and devas tating days of Maria Louisa and Goday, which brought upon Spain the for ever lamentable invasion of 1808— the same, which in the fatal and degrading period from 1814 to 1820, plunged Spain in new calamities. It is a truth, a bitter truth, there are some men of talent—not of character, who lend themselves to a party that detests them; and hence the present insignificant government has obtained a sort of ephemeral credit. These men, who do not hesitate to purchase gold with infamy, will repent, perhaps, at a not very distant day, of their mis calculations. Friday, Feb. 12. A SPANIARD.

By the schooner Lydia, which arrived on Saturday afternoon in the London Docks, the following intelli gence has been received of the murder of the master, Captain Carlisle, and two of the seamen of that vessel, on the coast of Africa, by savages, who attempted to seize the vessel, and massacre the whole crew : It seems that, on the 21st of April last, when the Lydia was sail. ing off the coast of Africa, in latitude 4. 33. N. and longitude 7. 8. W. they were boarded off a place called Tabor by 18 or 20 savages, whose conduct was at first very friendly--they offering ivory and other articles in barter. The Captain, Mr. Peter Carlisle, ha, hug received orders not to trade on the coast, told the natives he could not traffic with them. He was at this time standing against the companion, and Islr.Nicholson, the mate, was eating his breakfast on deck, it being a very bat day. Suddenly one of the savages came up behind, and seised the latter in his arms. Nicholson strug gled with him, and at length woutrled him in the arm and got away. At this instant the cook, a Portuguese, came to his assistance, but was tun through the back with a spear, which came out at the stomach, and he fell dead on the deck! Mr. Nicholson immediately rushed upon the assassin, and struck him down with a clasp knite he held in his hand. Ile followed up this exploit by cheering on the little crew of the schooner, who now attacked the assailants in their turn with so much success, that many leaped overboard. In the meantime, however, some of the savages had dreadfully beaten the man at the helm, and three of their number had thrown the Captain overboard, and then cast themselves into the sea after hint. Mr. Nicholson states, that immediately on being informed of tile Captain's fate, he looked over the ship's side, and saw Capt. Car. lisle swimming towards the schooner, but the savages pulled hint into one of their canoes, apparently in an exhausted condition. At the same time the body of John Gosling, who was standing by the Captain (ea it appeared) when the first attack was made, was seen in another canoe shockingly mutilated, as was likewise :he body of the cook. The poor lad is a native of Colchester and was much beloved by his shipmates fee his excellent disposition and attention to his duty. It is rather singular that the assailants should have been so anal. ous to carry off the body of their victims—for, after casting them overboard, they took some pains to pick them up. After leaving the vessel, the savages paddled towards the short, and the Lydia standing out to ssa, made all sail from the land. To the intrepid conduct of Nicholson throughout the affair, the owners are Indebted for the preservation of the vessel and cargo. About three years since, a British vessel belonging to Bristol was captured off the same place, and bet crew murdered. A fire broke out, on Friday night, about nine o'clock, at St. Paul's Chapel, in the village of Kilburn, and the flames were not subdued until the flooring was destroyed. ALARMING FIRE IN THE NEW Car.—About nine o'clock last night a fire broke out in the very extensive premises of Mr. Levey, the upholsterer and furniture broker, in the New Cut, near to the Coburg Theatre ; and from the nature of the materials of which Mr. Levey's stock was composed (the utmost alarm prevailed for the safety of the adjoining neighbourhood), the whole of his large manufactory, workshops, and eaten-, sive stock of valuable wood, were soon in one large co lumn of blazing fire. The Assurance .office engines and the firemen were soon on the spot, but from the searcity of water for some time, owing to the late severe frost, as well as the streets in the vicinity being unpaved, it ' was totally impossible to preserve any part of the va- luable stock in trade. With tho greatest exertions of the neighbours and the fireinsm, aided by some of the new police constables, the dwelling-house of Mr. Levey was saved from that deAruction which attended his manufactory and workshops, although it is much da maged, and a great part of the furniture destroyed. Some of the houses in George -street, in the rear of Mr. Levey's premises, have sustained damage, although not to any serious extent. It is believed that Mr. Levey was insured, but not to any amount equal to his loss. The fire was got completely under by half-past ten o'clock. CORN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE. FEB is.
