Time it is ; the influence of a Lard prevents their haitinkthat proteetion from a British ship of war which they have a right. to expect : and thus it is, that the Hudson's Bay Company, under the total influence of a Lord Selkirk, have the : means of preventing hundreds of their servants from return ing to their friends and families. Is this to be suffer ed by the Government of a nation which boasts of liberty ? When once in the interior, they can never hope, as the means are entirely out of their power, ' The arbitrary will of a Governor, who thinks he has the power of life and death from an old charter, keeps them in a state of vassalage unknown in history. , They have so many acres of land given them by order of this Lord : they feebly and unwillingly begin to hoe up a little patch of this land—(a plough is unknown among them)—a frost cones--4 have seen their hopes of a little harvest blasted.

The Spe:ulatar, by Mr. Mane Bruan, of which the t.'2d number is ju►; published, contains an excellent essay on the political interests of Europe. " The plicy of Europe," says Mr. M. Bruan, de requires tl:.e aggrandisement of Holland, which can be effect ed by no other means than the union of Belgium. —This union of two nations, of the same descent, speaking the same language, having the same cha ratter for industry and patriotism ; we are persuaded that the Bourbons, when they ceded Belgium, were far from retaining the idea of reacquisition, which too many ambitious Frenchmen still have the auda city to proclaim. We know that these wishes to recover a province solemnly ceded, would not find in Belgium the support that is vainly expected." Mr. M. Brunn alludes to several articles from Brussels in the Journal de Petrie, which are equally malicious and false. Mr. M. Brunn thinks the order of Malta ought to be re-established, but disapproves of fixing the residence of the order in the lonian Islands, which are too remote from Algiers and Tunis ; and being almost joined to Turkey, would require, an army to defend them, or would become vassals of the Porte.—He proposes Corsica, which unites every advantage. STUTTGARD, NOVEMBER gs. Some German papers had announced that the esta blishment of three great protectorates in 'Germany is to be settled at Vicuna. Oar Official Gazette refutes this assertion, which it says is as absurd as ridiculous. FRANKFORT, NOVEMBER elk M. - de Faltz has addressed a letter to the Editor of a journal, which asserted he had passed through Stuttrard, to go to Holland as Minister from Aus tria. 64 I have passed through Stuttgard it is true," says the Baron, ig but mat to go to fill any office in the world ; after having served the Court of Vienna with honour for above 40 years, I now belong.to the class of the ci.devant and the tx, now at present so numerous in Europe." The memoir presented to the Congress by D. Louis Buoncornpagne Ludivisi, Prince of Piombinl, and of the Isle of Elba, which has just been publish ed, clearly demonstrates that the house of Ludovisi has been unjustly despoiled by the ex-Emperor of its rights of Sovereignty, which it acquired in 1634, by the payment of the sum of 1,050,000 florins. It has ' even been deprived of its private revenues, estimated at 273,537 francs; which, however, never could be I I -included is the rarss.on of the sovereignty, which ses sion was, besides, null in itself, :tithe soverrigrisof Naples and TneCriay had but the right of garrison ing the fortresses in the island. We have received the following extract of a private letter from Paris, but we are unwilling to believe that the disastrous intelligence which it conveys is correct. The Paris Papers of the 5M are silent on the subject : " PARIS, DEC. s.

BOXING. DUTCH SAM AND KNOWLE3WORTHY. Yesterday the long-pending match between the vit. teran, Dutch Sam, and Knowleremrthq the baker, took place at Moulsey-hurst, for fifty guineas a side, and a subscription purse of fifty guineas. From eight to ten o'clock in the morning, the road up Piccadilly, through Hyde-park comer, and along Brompton, was one endless train of vehicles of every description; coaches-and-four, chariots, chaises, tilbitrys, gigs, dog -carts, and common carts, filled with the strangest medley of persons that London could disgorge, were pressing on with their best speed to the place of ac tion. Nor were multitudes of pedestrians wanting to till up the bustle. The latter run along she font. paths, while the former occupied des breadth of the road. Such a vast concourse of people has seldom been witnessed upon any similar °cession. The claim of Dutch Sam to pre-eminence in pugilism is so well established, that little peed be s lid ot science on this occasion. During his prize -fighting career, for several years past, this doughty hero has carried every thing before him; and there is no man in existence, it WAS believed, of equal weight, who c?luld stand before him. He conimmced his pursuit in the fany 'by beating Caleb * Baldwin, the Ciampion of Westmin ster, who had triumphed over his opponents in forty pitched battles. Sam follovred up hii success by overthrowing Tom Belcher in tliree different contests. If there was a lack of confidence at any time in Sam, it was ea account of his isregidaii?les, even during training, when he has be e n. k nown to Zutsl e Awn t.la ,or a d oom ste.tataf gill in a nrJrniii, ; ; Lilt laSserith standing his advanced age for t tonzer (42), aid all his if imperfections on his head,' he was the tavourite of the thy, about S . to 1.

The outer-ring hailing been formed, and the crowd of vehicles and pedestrians being completely arranged, the Baker first appeared, in a minor ring of twenty feet, in which the comet was to take place. On stripping, he made a proud display of his lusty limbs, and assumed a confidence which threatened to blight the laurels which Sam had so hardly won. The Baker was loudly cheered by his fr'ends. Sam soon followed, and having received hi, tribute of applause, stripped, and appeased eager for the fray." The sat-to commenced at ten minutes before one, us a !navy shower of rain. A solemn pause ensued, and great anxiety was evinced by the amateurs to witness an onvet, upon the issue of which depended so nuny thousand pounds and so much pugilistic fame. Ti'lP.
