TO Tilt 31001111111 011 Wall. Most Excellent Sir—An express has arrived from Popayan, with positive intelligence of the partial de struction of the Guerillas of the rebel Obando. General Hetes, the second in command of the Army of the South, completely defeated Colonel Paredes and Capt. the Guerilla Chiefs in the province of Panto, on the 19 h of December last, making prisoners, and seizing the whole of the warlike stores, as your Excellency will per. ceive from the original dispatch, which I now have the honour to enclose to your Excellency. General Cordova, the Commander.in.Chief of the division of operations in Cauca, says, on the 18th of January, that the enemy's Guerillas opposite Popayan have dissolved themselves, from terror, which the appearance of two columns from Limbic. marching to Tamho, inspired them with. That the dispersed men of the enemy came over and assured him that Obando had fallen back to the borders of Mayo, and that Gen.' Heres would, by this time, be at Canto. • General Cordova had joined the division of opera tions in P .payan, with the column under his command ; and the Conornander.in-Chief was immediately march-1 ing upon Pain and Pasco with his whole division, totally to destroy the remains of the Patiana rebels. Every thing indicates that order and tranquillity will be shortly restored in the southern part of the Republic. and that the National Representation, which is already convoked, will met under the auspices of peace and in. dependence necessary to 61 the basis of a Government which may constitute the happiness of Colombia in a stable manner.—l am, kc. JOSE DE EPINAL BUENOS AYRES. !ROM LA GAUT* soutcAurn, ItiaWARY 21. It is said that Admiral Brown will take the com mand of the squadron which is t 6 carry on operations on the coast of Uraguay. This is the same thing as cutting out fresh triumph for him. The standard of the Republic can never be humbled in the hands of so gal , law a seaman. The few accounts which arrive from the interior ex. cite sentiments of pity. The savages have tutacked the city of Mendoza, and the citizens were compelled to take up arms for the purpose of repelling so teirible an aggression. The Governor of Sao Louis found him self besieged by a parcel of Indians, and without daring to put his nose out of his own home. There are no a:• counts from the other points of the Confederacy, but their position cannot be a very Lettering one, if we are to judge from the few elements of war that are as yet collected for the newly-planned ci stades. Would it not be more profitable for them to turn their arms against, thelndians rather than against their own brethren? The climate of the New World does not seem alto gether to possess the same degree of uniformity and fix edness as the less blessed regions of the old continent. In the valley of Quito the temperature has diminished several degrees since the year 1740, the period when the French Academicians La Condamine. Godin, and Bower, visited Peru. The : b ores of t he Mississippi are no longer so salubrious as when they first afforded shelter to European colonists. The Bermuda Islands, which were previously considered a delightful abode, are now disagreeable and unhealthy. The aggregate of all the observations made upon America do not furnish us with any revelation of the secret causes of the alterations, which appear to be beyond the reach of human ken and industry. BUENOS AYRES, Fn. IS. The execution of the Chieftain Mesa took place yes. terday on the e.planade of the fort—the residence of authority, and in sight of the stational flag, which h. had offended. We are not insensible to the death of any one man ; the loss of a citizen is ever painful; but society requires the exemplary punishment of offences against public order. and a just application of the 14w is the most solid guarantee of our individual safety and of our political existence. A famous modern publicist bolds that an individual. whom the laws have placed in the hands of the hangman, may consider himself as more free than a courtier at a despot's table. This idea is eaceedingly correct. In a well.regulated Republic a man must commit crimes to incur punish ment. whilst in an arbitrary Government the rod of the tyrant strikes without distinction the innocent and the guilty In Europe, the question of whether the punishment of death ought to be expunged or not from all codes. has been amply discussed. The celebrated Beccaria was the first who raised his voice against scaffolds. in which he followed rather the impulse of a• generous heart than the decisions of .a profound convictioo. There has been no lack of philanthropists since to revive this argument, and to give it mere force, because. as civilisation advances, life becomes more valuable. Amongst the authors who have advocated the abolition of the penalty of death, sad the small num ber of legislators who have abrogated it, the most mo derate have limited themselves to demanding a.diminu tion of victims where only political crimes are in ques tion. An illustrious contemporary (Guisot on the Penalty of Death in political matters) observed that parties ate not culpable when only expressing their opi lor these are the most sacred patrimony of free men ; and that, owing to the debate of the tribune and the press. should events subversive to public order hap pen, it is unnecessary to create new words to punish known crimes. Starting from this principle. it is easy to justify the sentence pronounced by the Judges of Mesa. without offending the inclination of charitable souls. The satel lites of Notices are not culpable on account of mete theories, sustained with more or less warmth. What is punished ate his enormous excesses in the countfy—nh threats and attacks on individual property—bas vio lence, his depredations, and assassinations, for which ' , positive laws exist, and an established jutisprudence. fdebo, therefore, has mated a deserted, and gat as at- bitrary punishment. .

The interim state of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs has for a considerable time put been the source of just impatience. On taking an enlightened view of the situ ,Ation of Europe, and in particular on reflecting that the greatest of present interests are on the side of foreign policy, it was impossible not to regret a provisional'ai. rangement, which placed in the hands of a temporary Minister the department which has the most important business to transact, and the most serious responsibility to sustain. The Duke de Laval has, however. been called upon to succeed M. de la Ferronays. After long uncertainties among all the names which public rumour enumerated every day, and which were without doubt often repeated around the green-table of the Council of Ministers, the name of M. de Laval has been chosen. Great was the surprise of the public, greater still we think will be that of our Ambassador, when this news will arriwe to surprise him at Vienna, amidst the pacific functions which he there executes with honour and ability. The Duke de Laval is a man of great moderation, and of extreme modesty. He has not mixed, as has been indiscreetly averred, with the intrigues of any congre gation or of any coterie. He knows, better than is ge-i tunny supposed. the political state of our country. and the man who acts the chief part. It is on that•account we think he will find the burden too heavy, in times so difficult, and under a Ministry already old. The position of the Ministry bas become very etnbar raining. The alternate hostility of the two sides of the Chamber—the unfavourable appearance of a Session abruptly cut off, prolonging its existence by small laws of detail, without that great compensation of a commu nal law, which would have lightened its burdens, and made the nation pay the taxes with good humour, in addition to the progressive complication in the political relations of foreign Powers, and the appr-ach of events vb•ch may derange the European equilibrium—such are the difficulties of the moment—such is a crisis in which more than courage is necessary. more than ho nourable seal is necesiai y, to accept a responsible of ace in the government of French affairs. Will not these considerations strike the Duke de Leval? and if you ad,i to these powerful reasons for declining office, or at least for hesitating. the scruples of a modesty which perhaps does not do justice to itself, and the fear of not being powerful enough for such a responsibility—every thing gives us reason to presume that the Duke de Laval will not exchange his ambassa dorial title at a great Court for the uncertain place of Minister in a Cabinet which cannot do all that it wishes, still more in one which does not wish all the good it can perform. If, however, our presumptions are falsified--if the Duke de Laval accept, he cannot be here before the 15th May. and thus is our provisional condition pro longed for some weeks. If M. de Laval refuse. the embarrassments will re. commence. Candidates will be again brought forward and withdrawn ; names ahnounced and contradicted ; and this portfolio, to which so many have been called, and for which so few have been chosen, will return to N. de Portalis. who sinks under the weight of two litho. doss offices. Thus the temporary state will continue— always the seaSporary I This state at things is disquieting. In circumstances which must have a decisive influence on the honour and interests of the country—.when the French Ministry. whether acting or observing. ought to be the first in Europeoben the great Powers are preparing and gathering up their strength—when Ru ss i a i s s il ent ly or. ganizingimmense armies—when England, in relieving herself from the oppressive weight of religious slavery in Ireland, boldly casts off that internal fetter to give all her.attention to ex:ernal events, and be prepared for whatever may occur—how is it possible to look without anxiety at our foreign relations, destitute of a Minister to represent and personify our future policy? We do not set up for prophets of misfortune. but the passing time is hill of uncertainty; and it requires little foresight to perceive that the face of Europe may be , soddenly changed. It seems to us, therefore, more reasonable to be uneasy than to slumber. Should an important event surprise us while we remain in this provisional state, while we are deliberating who should or should not be Minister, while we fancy we are managing the affairs of 'he State, by supporting or op posing candidates, what would we do? This will ex. plain 40 Us surprise, and even our disquietude, on learning that a choice has been made which, though falling on an honourable man, is not one calculated to definitively ✓escue us from this endless q §estine of ponvisionahty.

Stc stc. MENDIICtY — SUCIETY. Yesterday afternoon the eleventh Annual Meeting of the sulAtibers and friends io the above Society was held at the Freemasons' Tavern; the Right lion. Lord RAD. not= in the Chair. The CRAIRRAN stated, that he extremely regretted the absence of the Noble Earl (Hat dwicke) who was to have f resided on the occasion, but who was prevented from doing so by severe indisposition. The merits of the Institution were too well known to require any cult). gium from nun; and he would therefore conclude by requesting the attention of the Meeting to the Report of the proceedings of the Committee during the past year. The Report was then read by M. ETRIPIII/111. the Assistant Manager ; after stating the number of men: dicants, &c. who 'had been relieved by the Society, it called the attention ut the sunscribers to a material improvement made by the Committee as to the em ployment of the persons a ho applied to them for tend. The wharf at which the able bodied applicants were formerly employed in breaking stones, was at a lance frMn the office, and the contract with the prp.t prietors somewhat expensive. They had thelefore deemed it expedient to adopt, in lieu of that disttar and expensive process, a plan which would be more immediately under their own inspection, and accord ingly they resolved to A s :splay their ablh-bodied male and female applicants in goading wheat by means of a hand mill, and preparing Niel gar, which is atter:suds made into bread tor daily distribution in the Society's office, in premises adjacent. which 'they bad hired for the purpose. and where the necessary apparatus had been erected. The men are employed in turning the mill, and the women in working the dressing machine. They are separated from each other, and their labour superintended by a person who easily combines the duty of inspection with the baking of the bread. This plan has proved to be in many respects superior to the former. In the first place, it provides a test for the industry of the women, who cannot be employed in the breaking of stones, and therefore frequently become idte pensioners on the bounty of the Society. From its proximity its the office it afforded the managers an op. portunity of ascertaining by the immediate offer of work to the able-bodied mendicant, whether he is ills' used to accept it—withholding the meal until he has earned it by industrious exertion ; whereas the distarice of the former plate of employment rendered it necessary pre viously to supply with food the per suns sent to N 0: 14 of whom the greater part (as had been proved), bas absconded. The new plan was also much cheaper than the former, and a test by which they could distingui-h the indu.ttiuus from the idle mendicant, and afford temporary employment to persons deserving it until they could procure a more regular occupation. A letter was then read from the Earl of Harda icke, enclosing a donation of SOL and another from Lord Skelmersdale, regretting his inability to attend the Meeting. Mr. Wilmot Houton, in moving the first Resolu tion (that the Report be printed and circul ted). dwelt on the benefits arising from the exertions of the t ociety, which, he said, notwithstanding their name, was mote directed to the police Of the system than I) the soppee.. siun of mendacity, which never could be suppressed until souse employment was afforded to the unemployed poor. He alluded to some of the points m ntioned in the Re port, particularly the decrease of It ish mendicants in this country for the last year, which arose solely trom the temporary cheapness of provisions in Ireland, and which could not be considered as a permanent reiief. The several re, oils of the Society, he considered, contained more useful information with regard to the subject of mendicity than any thing which had appeared, and, as it would be cure.. ely useful that Parliament should have an opportunity tif acquiring that intro mation, he should be very happy to be the instrument of laying these reports before the House of Commons. Captain Baastros, R.N. seconded the motion, which was put and Castled unanimously. The Hum E. Corr moved the second Resolution, and in a brief speech implored the Meeting not to relax in their ex tins in behalf of the Society. EDWARD Pattauttrt, Esq. in seconding it, observed that he had, for several years, devoted his attention to the bu.iness of the &clay, and he was more and more convinced of its usrtultress. It inquired it to the wants of the poor. and ascertained the merits of the cases pre. .seated to them for rebel. The system of indiscriminate alms-giving was extremely reprehen.ible, and he trusted the public would shortly he convinced of the mischief attending it. Col. Buouourow, in an able speech, advocated the aaaso of the Society. Tho Hon. C. J. Saone observed, that housekeepers in gooey past of the metropolis were fully convinced of the .advantages derived from the institution. Several oth er ge ntlemen then addressed the meeting, after which were voted to the Chairman, who acknowledged the compliment in a suitable speech. The meeting then adjourned.
