The farmer in England pays his rent by the sale of his crops at the market-town. The Colombian Government is pursuing the same course, and is entitled to adopt the same measure for the alleviation of the people's burthen. We insert the letter of our Correspondent Pinto- Pi'rats, with sympathetic feelings of indignation and regret ; but we must . remind him, that the British Go yernment has not " tamely" looked on Don MIGUEL'S crimes against the law of nations, humanity and British honour. Surely, he does not forget Terceira ? Would that' it could be effaced from our recollection, and the British annals ! We shall postpone yet for some days the remarks which it will be our duty to submit to our readers, on the subject of the late WELLINGTON prosecutions at the Old Bailey. Some of our contemporaries appear to see pretty correctly, to what the passive submission of the Press to these Ministerial inflictions must infallibly lead ; but nut in one Journal do we perceive the unequivocal exception taken the resolute and un stuttering declaration, that it will not submit quietly to be so coerced and overborne. What is the value of the Press, if it is to be confined to a slavish echo of Ministerial opinions ? Where is the people's safeguard from the re-establishment of a feudal despotism, if the encroachments which an audacious Governnfent may make by degrees upon public liberty are to be exempted from public remonstrance and reprehension ? That a man like Sir JAMES SCARLETT--who has signalised himself by such indescribable derelictions—should be anxious to bring back that condition of things, which would secure him from being pelted with his own proper designations, we can readily understand : his political guiltiness makes it impossible that he can ever again—if he ever did— sympathise with political purity. Like the devil, in MILTON. "by his own merit raised to that bad eminence," even his effrontery cowers before the popular reproof. It is, therefore, perfectly natural in him, to seek by every art and means in his power, the extirpation of such an inconvenient en gine as the PRESS: since, so long as one limb of it remains unmanacled, the sensitive ears of Sir JAMES must perpetually encounter language calculated to sink him in his own opinion—the most intolerable of all humiliations. • • One contemporary of our's—the great satellite, par excellence, and apologist .of military power—bas con trived, in his argument upon these trials, to interweave a nauseous panegyric upon the government of his arbi trary patrons. He says—" the present Ministry have less to fear from opinion (we conscientiously believe) than almost any of their predecessors for the last thirty years !" What sort of conscientiousness this writer's can be, we shall not stop here to enquire : but we will say, that if—on an occasion so stirring as these prosecutions, when it behoves all those who value the blessings of public opinion to make a stand against the moat daring attempt at its suppres sion, which has been made since the days of Sir VICARY Gums—we will say, that if on such an occasion our contemporary feels it either credit able or safe to offer adulation, where it is a true citizen's duty to signify resistance, perilous indeed is the jeopardy, which his abjectness alike augments and en courages. We shall take up the subject, as it affects the liberty of the people generally. We have the Allgemeine Zeitung and the Nuremberg Correspondent this day, to the 18th instant.—A commer cial letter, published in the last named paper, informstts that the Russian Merchants are extending their traffic to the Southern provinces, recently wrested from the handspf the Ottoman Porte.

Oor merchants are now directing their attention to the provinces lately acquired co the south of the Caacasos by the treaties with Persia and the Ottoman Porte. The advantageous geographical positions of those countries, will soon give importance to the trade with Persia. Some of our merchants have already projected fac tories there. which will undoubtedly be established m soots as the retorts of peace has led to petmassent tranquillity and order its those countries.—Nose nburg Ciwreyssidetst. Dec. 17. Somewhat of a ludicrous mistake occurred in the print ing of the 3d letter of MExiciortm—a correspondence tto important, however, to permit of any error. It was said " Brazilian diplomatists scribbled protests"—instead of Basilian, in allusion to the BASIL of Figaro. The Brazilians were indeed quite innocent of the injurious restraint so partially laid on the belligerent rights of the New States, against Cuba and Puerto Rico. In support of our suggestion on Wednesday, that the inhabitants of houses at the west end of the town should be obliged to attend to the comfort of foot-passengers by daily clearing the flags, we would recommend the parish officers to 'supply some spades and brooms to the indigent poor, to enable them to gain their livelihood by rendering this service to gentlemen servants of great establishments. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. SIR,—I have read a letter published in your Paper of yesterday, and which was written in Madeira, at the beginning of this very month. The perusal has afflicted me with the deepest pain and shame. Is it possible, that England should calmly permit the persecutions and con fiscations there described ? Did not the British Govern ment recognise Donna GLORIA as the lawful Sovereign of Portugal, and all its dependencies ? Did not the Government of England, in concert with other great Powers of Europe, keep military hold of Portugal, till Don Mro UEL arrived as Lieutenant of Donna GLORIA ? Did not England, thus virtually impose his authority on the Portuguese people, suspicious of his loyalty ? And, on the other hand, by so doing, contract an obligation, to en fo: ce his obedience to the Government of the Qu Eew ? Don MIGUEL, however, became an usurper, and yet we tamely look on, whilst he lawlessly proscribes fidelity, as a crime, and mercilessly pursues, and punishes the subjects of Donna G LORIA, dupes to our policy, and victims to their oaths and duty ?—Great Duke ! Great Duke ! quamdits abuteris patientid nostrd? Dec. 25 PHILOPATRIS. CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK. This being Christmas day, it is kept as a close holiday, with the exception of the Post-men who distribute the letters. This morning two 'French mails have arrived, but we have no other an. rivals of consequence; and by the above conveyance the private letters from Lisbon state that some commotion took place at the Marine Arsenal, owing to the workmen being destitute of pro visions : but disturbances of a more serious nature happened on the Ist. Dec. and had it not been for prompt measures, it would have had a serious result.—The Government are indebted to the work men 11 months pay, who are almost naked. Don Miguel was to have tome to Lisbon on the morning of the 11th, when the streets were crowded with these unfortunates, crying out for money to buy them provisions. Don Miguel having received information of what was passing in his capital, remained at Queluz, where he gave an audience to some of the revolters, and distributed to them all the money be had, promising them, at the same time, that they should reeelVe their pay in a month if they would again retort to their work in the Arsenal. The Gaulle d Lessasusestates that several reports are In diet. lido° of the polideal movements In the Tyrol. The Tyroksos revolted in 1609 spinet Bavaria, wishing to be under the Govern. meat of Austria. The commercial letters from Constantinople state that the com merce there would have greatly improved, were it not for the high charges for the importation of merchandise. Several cargoes of corn were purchased from Odessa by the Turkish Government. The Emperor of Austria has ordered that Venice shall be de clared a free port from the let January, 1830. ignikemnamenuenome RussiA.--dtussia displays a systematic desire and well digested plan to extend her navigation and commerce to every part of the globe, any way in contact with her al ready immense and still growing empire, of presenting the least chance of an opening, however remote and dis tantly beneficial. Nor are these vast and gigantic pro ' jects limited to the European seas alone, where the ef fects of the battle of Navarino have yielded her such golden opportunities to secure her future preponderance, especially in the Black Sea and Mediterranean, which every day develops themselves more alarmingly ; but she now fiiels• her way . with slow and wary, but sure steps, towards the New World. The Directors of the Russo- American Company at Petersburgh have announced, in the beginning of this month, to the shareholders, that two - ships, belonging 'to the Association, had arrived in the port of Ochotak during the presents season from the Russian Colonies in America. The first, the Ochotsk, importing from New Archangel, furs' to'the amount of 1,100,000 roubles. The other the Tchitchakoff, brought furs from the Kurile Islands to the value of 400,000 roubles, The brig Raikal was expected in Kamtschatka, belonging aISO to the Company, she having been de spatched from New Archangel in the month of May, with a cargo Of salt. All the Russian establishments at that end of the world were amply provided, and an tie pedition had been sent from Kodiak to the northward, for the purpope of topogrephieal surveys in the interior of 461* fIL4n him; and t‘establiall a comsnerigal intercoidifee with these unexplored • countries.
