'r The Editor cannot let the STAR of this day go to press, with out conveying his sincere regret that in his temporary absence yester day, a paragraph was accidentally inserted, which he considers to be in origin so malignant, and in taste so bad, as to require im mediate apology and disavowal. The Editor has impressed on his assistants, that to steal from some quarters requires peculiar caution, as a burning coal may be carried away by mistake, and do the pil ferer much mischief. Letters from Civita Vecchia of the 30th ult. state that the news of the capture of Algiers, had been received with the greatest joy there. It was calculated there still remained in the prisons of Algiers, as slaves taken under the Pope's flag, 17 sailors of Civita Vecchia, some o whom had been at the galleys these twenty years. By our letters from St. Petersburgh, we learn that on the 25th ult. a 44 gun frigate, called the Juno, was launced from the Dock-yard of the Grand Admiralty there, and a short time before another frigate, of the samo number of guns, called the Bellona, was launched at Oclita. We have received a file of the Antigua Register to the end bf May. The weather in the island had, for some days past, been exceedingly pleasant, and, it was hoped, the rainy season had been broken up. The da mage done in Trinidad had reduced the landed interest to an unparalleled state of distress. At Grenada, the rain had swollen the rivers, and the most serious apprehen sions were entertained. We have received, by the Jamaica packet, papers from that island to the 15th June. His Majesty's packet, Reindeer, sailed from Carthagena on the 2d. BOLIT AR was then staying at Turbaco, a small village about ten miles from that city, and it was reported, and generally expected that ho would embark on board the Shannon frigate, Capt. CLEMENT, on the day of the Reindeer leaving His Majesty's ship, Victor, Capt. KEANE, had received orders to proceed from Jamaica to Carthagena with all possible despatch. It was reported that the ob ject of her visit was to convey Bei. t v A it to Jamaica, and that the Shannon frigate would remain at Carthagena to protect the rights of his Majesty's subjects, in the event of any commotion taking place after the departure of % Alt. Everything was tranquil when the Reindeer sailed. The following is a copy of a letter received from the Agebt to the North and South American Coffee-house, dated— Buenos Ayres, April 19. At this moment civil war is suspended (would I might add concluded) in all the Provinces which com pose the Argentine Republic. Since the defeat of General Quirogo's Army, that part of it which remained entire under Colonel Villafane, has entered into a sort of composition or capitulation with the Victor, obliging themselves to retire to their different Provinces, and l:ty down their arms ; and the governments of those Provinces who were in arms against Cordova and her allies, viz. Mendoza, Rioga, &c. have sent deputies to meet those of Cordova, in order to regulate the peace or the interior. Thus far all looks well, but no one cares to hazard an opinion as to its duration, at least at present, nor until time has moderated the passions of the late telligerents. General Quiroga remains in Buenos Ayres: lie appears to be overwhelmed with grief at his late disaster, and lives in great privacy. The Governor of Cordova (General Paz) expresses his great anxiety to remain in peace with the sister pro ‘itices of the republic, and he is Rrobably sincere ; but I.c will have difficulty to restrain his numerous military. o.rdova cannot long support them, unless by heavy con tributions, and that will drive the inhabitants to insurrec tion, and he cannot disband them just now. Many per sons fear that General Paz will, a few months hence, tic propelled into war, particularly against Buenos Ayres, and its federal system of government: this is, however, a matter of speculation which, it is to be hoped, will not be realized, and that time may be gained to heal the wounds of the last outstanding parties, giving the oppor tunity, both to the Unitarian and federal, U. unite and save what remains of the wealth of their really fine country. Buenos Ayres itself, and all the province, is tranquil, except indeed the wordy warfare (chiefly in this capital) between the Unitarian and Federal, which continues as ' violent as ever, and in which the former are said to have decidedly the advantage. The Governor Roses is making a tour of the country districts, and has had an interview on the frontiers lvi tit the Governors of Santa Fe, Corrientes, and Entre Rios. During his absence the Government is confided to the Ministers Garcia, Aucharena, and Bal cam. The late Minister of Foreign Affairs, (Guido,) eintarks this day on board the British packet, Skylark, fu: Rio Janeiro, upon business connected with the treaty .~ • d `:••••• it :1.1 . "tat Ili., on . t b . ,. , more determined Federal, and would not stick at trifles. Our financial affairs, a few days since, seemed to have approached a crisis. Doubloons were at 165. Exchange upon England sd. per dollar, and ten paper dollars given for one Spanish dollar—much consternation pre vailed. The government issued a decree, prohibiting the exportation of specie, and in virtue of the extraor dinary powers granted to it by the legislature, arrested several individuals; amongst them two or three money brokers, and sent them on board the brig Republican (late Cacique) guardship in the outer roads : this mea sure, as a thing of course, met with the high reprobation of the opponents of government, and the applause of its friends. The bears on the London Stock Exchange may thank their stars that they do not live under the govern ment of Buenos Ayres, with the habeas corpus act sus pended, or they might be conducted on board the 'render. The arrested brokers are charged with vilifying the Government in order to facilitate their money opera tions. In a confined place, like Buenos Ayres, where there are only four or five individuals acting in the money market, their occupation may be prejudicial— opinions are divided in this respect. The sensation caused at first by the arrest of the above persons, has subsided. The newspapers which, from the circumstances of the times, are completely under the control of Government, do not mention the affair.— Doubloons are now at 12.5 to 130, and Exchange upon England 6d. The Government party attribute this improvement to the strong measures pursued, and the other party shrug their shoulders and smile. In conclu sion, I have only space to state the likelihood, that Buenos Ayres will, for some months, at any rate, con tinue in peace ; further, I will not, just now, pretend to hazard an opinion. We have perused this morning a pamphlet, entitled, " A letter to the Ktwo, on the present crisis of l , National Affairs ;"—aad as we conceive it a well-timed, a temperate, and yet energetic appeal to his M AJESTY, at this most important period of our national history, we deem it our duty to recommend the perusal of it to our readers, and to call their particular attention to =one of • its contents. The writer commences by saying, most truly, that his MAJESTY has succeeded to the throne of these realms "at a moment the most auspicious for a Monarch, who has at heart the welfare of his subjects, and desires to be himself the creator of their happiness." " Tho reign," continues the writer, " of the Sove reign we have lost, will be distinguished, over all others, for the glories of successful war ; but a richer harvest of immortal honour remains to be gathered ; a far nobler object of ambition is open to your MAJESTY.—At the pre sent momentous crisis, the country is placed in such pecu liar circumstances, that it is in the power of one individual, though but of one, almost without efftwt, certainly without sacrifice, to confer upon its inhabitants benefits of incal culable magnitude; and to lay the foundation of perma nent national prosperity. Need I say that individual is your MAJESTY"—" The power is possessed by your MAJESTY, should the will not be wanting, future mil lions will regard you, as, after the Divine source of all blessings, the founder of their happiness ; and WILLIAM TILE BENEFICENT, Will be the title by which posterity will bless and revere your memory." The writer then proceeds to state, that although the Constitution of this country affects to be representatives, the popular branch of the Legislature, it is well known, is returned by a small body of peers, and great proprie tors ; on whom there exists no check except " their dread of exasperating the people to such a pitch, as may occasion open and desperate revolution."—A latent check, however, does exist, he afterwards remarks, in " an elementary principle of the Constitution, capable of destroying these selfish combinations of the few, and vindicating the cause of the many."—" That germ of Godlike power resides in the Royal Prerogative, of appointing the Members of the Government."— " For years past the beneficent power of Royalty has ' lain too dormant, bribed to inaction, by a sordid division with the aristocracy, of the spoils of the people. Should the term, however, of this base compromise have at length arrived—should the Monarch throw his weight into the scale of the nation—irresistible would be the tendency towards improvement : rich and eternal the harvest he will reap of gratitude and glory ! so may we avoid the cruel alternative of an oppressive oligarchy on one hand, or a revolutionary convulsion on the other." " Who will dare deny that some great change for evil, or for good, is at hand ? Who will dispute that such change is necessary ? For fifteen years, Britain has been blessed with Peace ;—blessed did I say?— should it not be a blessing ?—But, has it been one ? or, at the end of fifteen peaceful years, are not the great interests of the country, all the productive classes, tho masa of the people, in a worse condition than at the end of a long and ruinous war ?—ls not the revenue con tinually falling off,—trade declining,—profits and wages diminishing ?—Are not the labourers of Britain impo verished,—those of Ireland in a state of starvation?—ls not crime rapidly increasing?—Are not our Laws ac knowledged to be a complete denial of justice, and a tissue of absurdities ?—ls not the Nation in fine, dis contented and unhappy ?—And, without looking to our foreign relations, (which would perhaps present as gloomy a picture,) is not Tit is our internal condition, after fif ten years of uninterrupted leisure for cultivating the im measurable resources of this wealthy, industrious, ener petic, and ingenious people ? There's something rotten in the state of Denmark." The writer then takes a glance at the measures for the last fifteen years ; shows what has been done—what might have been done—and suggests what yet may be done, should Heaven afford peace, and his MAJESTY de termine to espouse the cause of his people. We cannot here have space for the two first branches of this glance ; but shall endeavour to afford that which is the most im portant—his suggestions for the future : " 1. A deliberate review of our Monetary system, for the purpose of giving freedom, security, sufficiency, and uniformity, to the paper-money of the three kingdoms. By this alone can the productive classes be relieved from the intolerable and unjust pressure of the addition which a deficiency in the medium of exchange has lately made to all their money obligations, public as well as private ; l and by this alone will be obviated, for the future, those 1 pernicious see-saws of delusive prosperity and real dis- n !. . il•: sr!! -2-:l ,, •timents tic L. . on ail, 2. A re-consideration of our financial policy, with a view to lessen the waste in collection ; to remove the vexatious impediments which particular modes of Taxa tion oppose to the best direction of labour and capital ; and to take off such taxes on labour and raw materials, as, by checking production, lessen the very fund out of which all taxes must in the end be paid. Our financiers have, hitherto, mulcted the seed as it falls on the fruit ful soil. They have plucked the goose that lays the golden eggs ; stinted her nourishment, and worried her with efforts to get at the treasure before it was formed. It does not seem unlikely that she may die under their hands. _ _ " 3. A general and permanent composition for tithe, so as to allow capital to be employed in the improvement of land, and the production of food for a half-starved population, without being liable to a heavy tax, from which it is exempt in every other employment. " 4. A reform in the administration of the English Poor Law; its extension in an improved state to Ire land ; and the organization of a scheme for facilitating the transfer of the labouring poor from those parts of his Majesty's dominions where their nunthers are in excess, and their existence a burden to the community, to those where they are deficient, and their labour con sequently of high value. " 5. A re-modelling of our civil and criminal code, by the universal establishment of courts of local jurisdic tion, so as to render justice cheap, speedy, and eject ual. " 6. The reform of the Game Laws, which, at pre sent, create one crime, and induce a long train of others, to which the practice and punishment of poaching neces sarily leads. We must subjoin to these extracts, that lie impresses upon his MAJ EST V, that it is not a change of men that is wanted, but a change of measures ; and that no Mi nistry will be found to bring forward, and execute these measures, unless supported by his NI AJ We have thought it our duty to be copious in our ' analysis of this able pamphlet—because we think it con denses much into little. Perhaps with all his expres sions we do not quite coincide . We think him, perhaps, now and then " 7112 pen trop fort" ; but we sincerely re commend his whole pamphlet to the public, as not ema nating in faction or party, but in honest public spirit. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off yesterday, 94i to ; and at present they they are 94 to i; little business going forward as yet. In the Foreign Market not a bargain doing—prices nominal. From the Jamaica Paper of the Bth. We are indebted to a gentleman of the City for the details of a most diabolical outrage which has been per rooted on the person of Mr. Shenly, the Bristol Consul-General of Hayti. Extract of a letter from Hayti, June 4.—" You will be shocked to hear that an attempt has been made to assassinate Mr. Shenley, our Consul-General at Port- au-Prince. This event has excited great consternation, as well as indignation, throughout the whole Island. The reception Mr. Shenley met with from the President, was flattering to the highest degree. Conjectures are various as to the cause of this extraordinary act. It is atti ibuted by some to jealousy on the part of the French, to the influence of the British here; by others, to some Spa niards. The conduct of the President Boyer is highly praiseworthy, and clearly proves his anxiety to dis cover the perpetrators. I am still sorry to say poor Shenley is still very feverish, but no serious consequences 'are apprehended from the slight wound he received as he ' was returning to his residence,accompanied by his brother, about two miles from the city, and when about 300 yards from his house he was fired upon ; but the ball fortunately only penetrated his coat and shirt in front, and grazed his skin. He was fired upon a second time with slugs, which bad effect on the horse's head, who fell with his rider. Mr. Shenley, assisted by his brother, rose imme diately, and got safe to his house. CITY, lIALF.PAST ONE. Consols are rather heavy, owing to a report that the French rents have come lower, but up to the present hour we do not believe that an express had arrived from Paris. Console which were in the early part of the morning at 94 to for the account, have receded to 931 to 94, and for next account 94 to Very little busi ness has been transacted. _ _ _ In the Foreign Market, Columbian Bonds have re ceded two and a half per cent. owing to the information, by the Jamaica mail, of Bolivar going to embark for that island. In Shares nothing doing. South Metropolitan Gas, 21 premium. COURT INTELLIGENCE. THE KIWI:I.—This morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, his MAJESTY entered the Court-yard, St. James's; and after the enthusiastic salutations of the Officers, his MAJESTY conversed with them in the most affable manner. The Officers then formed them selves into a Guard of Honour; but this MAJESTY politely declined ; and the soldiers, who were placed near his person, with fixed bayonets, his MAJESTY ordered into the ranks—thus leaving bis Royal Person to the view of his staunch body-guard—the PEOPLE. On the relieved soldiers marching off, the band ' struck up " God save the King ;" but were often inter rupted by the loud shouts of the people, which was gra ciously acknowledged by the Kra;G, uncovered. His MAJESTY retired at half-past eleven, and entered the Palace amidst the loud and long acclamations of the people. His MAJESTY was plainly attired. The Dukes of Norfolk and Bedford have, it is said, given in their unqualified adhesion to the Duke of Wel lington's Government. The vacant Bishopric has fallen in most opportunely as a tempting bait for Parliamentary influence. The King, we are informed, will appear in St. James's Park, at the time the guard is relieved, on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday next. His Majesty will prorogue Parliament in person on Friday, and on Saturday will visit the Exhibition of the Royal Academy at Somerset House. The King has appointed the Earl of Jersey to be the Lord Chamberlain. His Lordship officiated in that capa city on Thursday night, at the funeral of the late King. The Duchess of Gloucester and the Princess Augusta came to town together yesterday from the Queen's Lodge, in Bushy Park. The Austrian Ambassador had an interview with the Earl of Aberdeen yesterday, at the Foreign Office. The Chancellor of the Exchequer visited the Duke of Wellington yesterday, at the Treasury. The King and Queen will take up their residence at Windsor Castle about the end of next month. The King has given to the Queen Bushy Park for her life, together with the house, which will in future be called the Queen's Lodge. f'r:ol"` • STATE 01' TIM ItEeeesENTATlum.----Seats it •1 • new Parliament 113 s bc:ln sold for 15001. per session, which is thought a better bargain than giving the nee: • ket price, namely, 5,000 guineas, for the whole Parli.t ment !—Leeds Mercury. WALLI\GFORD—A contest is likely to take place at the next election for the representation of this borough. E. F. Maitland, Esq. of Park-place, Henley, and J. Bay ley, Esq. of Blount's Court, near Reading, the two late unsuccessful candidates, intend taking the field against the present Members, who have completed their canvass. Since the above was forwarded to us, it has been an nounced that Mr. Maitland has retired.—Reading Mercury. We are happy to be able to state to such of our read ers as are interested in the success of our excellent county representative, Mr. Fane, that not the slightest doubt can now be entertained of his re-election. In all parts of the county the freeholders express their approbation of his Parliamentary conduct, and their determination to support him at the ensuing election.—Oxford Herald. The three county candidates were all on the alert on Thursday at Banbury : from what we can collect, the votes are generally for Sir George Dashwood and Mr. Fane. Lord Norreys is indefatigable and persevering in his canvass. He has been in and about Banbury for the last few days. Mr. Stratton, who was fully expected to offer himself, has declined doing 80.—Ibid. We understand that Abingdon is now in the highest state of ferment and excitement, owing to the arrival this morning, about half-past eight, of Mr. Maitland, for the purpose of canvassing the borough. His horses were taken off, and the carriage was drawn into Abingdon by the populace. Since his arrival Mr. Maberly has come to Abing,don, attended by a vast concourse of voters, in grand procession, with flags music, &c. Our informant states that the town of Abingdon is all in an uproar, and that much fighting and violence is expected this evening, from the ebullition of party feeling that exists between the friends of the two candidates.—• Friday evening, July 16. The competition for the representation of this city in Parliament is going on with increasing energy, notwith standing one candidate has, for the present, withdrawn his pretensions. Captain Frederick Berkeley, R.N. who was most deservedly popular with the freemen, finding, upon his arrival here, that, by persevering in the contest, he would most probably injure the prospects of Colonel Webb, the old member in the same interest, most hand somely retired, and is now using his best exertions to promote the cause of his friend. Since the publication of our last, Mr. Cooper has announced himself as a can didate, in the same interest he has represented for the last I'2 years. During the week, a most active canvass has been carried on in this city, by Colonel Webb, R. B. Cooper, and J. Phillpotts, Esqrs. who are also using strenuous exertions among the distant freemen.—Glou • cester Journal. Throughout the week the candidates for the represen tation of this place in Parliament have been busily en gaged in canvassing the voters. On Monday last, C. Hill, Esq. of Wellingborough, arrived at the Peacock Inn, and in an address to the inhabitants, declared his intention of offering himself for their suffrages; and im mediately commenced an active canvass. We are rejoiced to see that much of that animosity which prevailed at former elections, has scarce shown itself on this occa sion ; and we trust, for the honour, as well as for the peace of the town, that the same good order and friendly feeling will prevail throughout the contest. Sir George Robinson and Sir Robert Gunning closed their canvass yesterday : Mr. Hill's canvass, owing to his late arrival, will not terminate until next week.—Northampton Mer. BATA ELECTION.—We have hitherto refrained from saying anything relative to the supposed result of our approaching Election, till we had some authority so to do, and we are most happy now to communicate to our fel low-citizens, and those connected with their interests, that, by the steady co-operation and friendly understand ing of the staunch supporters of Major General Palmer, our gallant townsman will be again placed by them, in the enviable situation of one of the Representatives of this, his N ATIVE CITY. The " tug of war" will then consequently be carried on by the two noble Lords, and their mutual friends, but report says, that Lord John Thynne has met so many of his old friends with new faces, that, after a faithful discharge of his public duties, and a servitude of thirty years, they have at length abandoned him to his fate, and the number of scattered votes his Lord ship can collect among them, is too insignificant for public exposure. How are the mighty fallen ! and what will Mr. Watson Taylor say at this time, of the two Peers, " step ping from their great and elevated stations, and conde scending to honour the inhabitants of Bath by becoming their representativ.os ?" Tempera mutantur, non mores. And how will the late old and aged props of Lord John Thynne's prosperity, the wonted defender of his cause, who are at this very period of their existence, tottering on the brink of eternity, feel, when the voice of con science tells them they have deserted their friend in need whom they should have served ? " Verily, verily, I say unto ye in truth, there is no trust even in the least of ye !"—Bath Herald. THE MEMBER FOR ALL IRELAND.—The ex member for Clare—for we consider him no longer in the capacity of representative of that county—is determined to entitle himself to the designation with which this article is headed, by starting for seven counties, besides sundry cities. His rigmarole speech at the meeting held yesterday may be comprised into one interrogatory, with its answer, and one fact, with its commentary. " What have I done in Parliament ?" quoth the Mimber. An swer—Nothing. Why ? ask the people. Because there are only five honest men in the House. Bravo, Daniel !—Dublin Evening Mail. TWELFTH OF JULY IN ARMAGII.The anniversary of the battle of Aughrim was publicly celebrated in Ar magh on Monday last. The Orangemen assembled in great numbers; and, though not the slightest disposition to riot was manifested, the people were dispersed by the military. Some persons were committed to prison, but they were subsrquently liberated by the Magistrates. We have not heard that many accidents of a serious nature occurred; one man, however, it is stated to us, was rode over by the military and much bruised. A prosecution on the part of the persons committed to prison is spoken of. OMAGH, MONDAY, JULY I2.—The town b in a state of frenzied excitement: Drunken blasphemers are reel ing through the streets uttering shocking imprecations on those they conceive to be political or religious oppo nents. Orange flags are displayed from the windows of several houses, and shots are fired in the streets as if in fierce anticipation of more fatal purposes than mere noisy insult to the inoffensive Catholics. The police have been brought into the town, but do not interfere, in the slightest degree, to moderate (or suppress as they should do) these preceding& Several bodies of Orangemen, dressed in all the insignia of their turbulent order, and accompanied by crowds covered with similar decomtions, have marched and re-marched through our streets to the usual insulting party tunes; i i ;. b- I
