TH E EVENING STAR. The death of Bouv AR, which it is this day our melan choly duty to announce, is an event which will interest the whole civilized world. The character of this hero—the Liberator of South America—bas only had one parallel, either in this age, or in the records of past history; and that is in the Liberator of North America. WASHINGTON, it may almost be supposed, was the example which BOLIVAR had kept in view—the copy he wrought by. Without any grounds for even suspecting the self-denial, and patriotic unity of object, which directed the energies of BOLIVAR, even his admirers were, from a secret suspicion of man's nature, as long as he was in life, always afraid that weakness, or pressure of circumstances, would produce some tortuosity—some injudicious yielding $ personal vanity, or unworthy expediency, to diminish his fame ; but he has died the hero that he lived ; and in con signing him to the grave, we leave hint alone to a glory which has never been surpassed, and which, we fear will not often be equalled. As we conceive the example of a WASHINGTON has pro- I duced a BOLIVAR, may we not however hope, that BOLIVAR may be followed by others, distinguished by ana logous energies to execute, and analogous honesty of am bition, to renderthose energies beneficial to their fellow men ? On the authority of a respectable Continental Merchant, just arrived from Antwerp, we have it in our power to con tradict the account which has appeared in some of our cotem poraries, that the Dutch Government had materially rein forced the Garrison of that City. It was generally reported in the Commercial circles, that whatever might be the result of Belgian affairs, the Great Powers of Europe would insist on Antwerp remaining, from this time forward, a Free Port. Sydney papers to the 10th Oct. have been this day re ceived at the North and South American Coffee House. They bring favourable accounts of the trade of Launceton ; and contradict the rumours afloat, of serious disturbances at Bathurst. A trifling incursion of fifty or sixty bushrangers has been grossly exaggerated into a tale of the arming of five hundred insurgents. Lord ELLENBOROUGH commenced an open opposition last night, not only to the new taxes, but to the mode in which the financial arrangements were brought forward ; and he was supported by the DUKE of Wau.tswron, who expressed, in a decided way, his disapprobation of the Ministerial plans. Loan GRZY professed to desire to render the new taxes unobjectionable ; but his Lordship does not seem aware that every new tax is objected to, and that retrenchment is demanded in lieu of new taxes. Sir HENRY PARNELL, whose merit on such subjects is acknowledged by all parties, obtained the grant of a Select Committee, for improving and reforming the modes of keep ing and stating the public accounts. We regard this as a very important concession to the public, and give the Ministry due credit for making it. Lord JOHN RusitLL stated, that the Reform Measure was to be in the shape of Bill. The Marquis of Cumin& carried a motion, " that the corrupt state of the Borough of Evesham requires the serious attention of Parliament." This, however, appeared to be a work of supererogation, since the abuses of Eves ham will, of course, be corrected with those of all other Boroughs, in the Bill to be brought forward on the let of March. The general enemies of Reform, however, pressed the measure apparently with a view to show the power of Parliament, as now constituted, and, therefore, that general Reform would be unnecessary. The Irblic will agree with them in this act, bat not in the motive. Sir R. Pm, Sir C. Wzyszazu., lire. became en this occasion zealous Reforatem. Mr. Haut obtained acconate of the wasteful exponent sanding foreign Embolism. France cost us £30,000 - annum ; £ll,OOO to the Ambusador ; and £2,000 to Consul Gummi ? The same patriotic Member gave notice of his to oppose the additions to the Army, the reasons for which additions must be very strong to satisfy the public. In a discussion on the new taxes, it appears that Lord ALTHOZPZ abandons the tax on Cape Wines, which are to be 2s. 9d. instead of fle. 6d.—i.e. 4d. more than before. Vibetherit is to be se. 6d. in two yours may not depend on his Lordship. Thus, three of the new taxes are disturbed, and the annoying and petty one on steam-boat passengers, was so severely remarked on, by six or eight influential members, that it may be expected, that if taxes are remitted, Alderman WOOD'S sensible advice must be taken, and the deficiency supplied by retrenchments. He, asserted that three millions may easily be saved, and his ob servations were received with cheers, which even extended to the auditors in the gallery ! LORD ALTHORPL made very straight forward apologies, for having proposed new taxes which were impracticable ; 'but asserted his determination, with more courage than dis cretion, not to give up all his plans. Mr. Rznr.zy CoLzose z frankly stated that a Property Tax which the public demand, would not be agreed to by the House ! What a dilemma! Mr. Ev ANS brought in a bill relative to abuses of corpo rate funds in elections, which we presume will be superceded in its object by the Reform Bill. O'GORMAN MAHON, on presenting a petition, described the Corporation of Dublin, as composed of bankrupts and insolvents ; but the motion to print it was rejected. ,The printing of a petition from Bridport was refused by 55 to 38. The House ses till half-past 11, chiefly occupied in re ceiving petitions on all the subjects which at present agitate the nation. Mr. O'CoN sm.!. arrived at a late hour, but took no part. We anticipated that a tax of from 25 to 10 per cent. on the raw material of the first staple of our commerce would be resisted ; and accordingly the Chamber of Commerce at Manchester has sent a deputation to London, to oppose the impost. The Cotton Trade has long been struggling against ' low or no profits. Labour on it has been reduced from 15s. to Is. Bd. Yet right honourable financial science decides on such a trade, in such a state, as the object of a Tax to pay Pensioners, Sinecurists, and War-Salaries to Placemen; and still worse, if possible, to keep a vast standing army in time of peace ! We refer our readers to our first page, for particulars of the proceedings at Manchester, and to the speeches of Messrs. Garnett, Railton, and others. In speaking of the new tax on Cotton, Mr. Hume ad vised its withdrawal ; and that instead, the Army should be reduced to the same amount, a sentiment which the people will echo from the Land's end to the Orkneys. We have the Gazette di Milano to the sth Feb. which, as might perhaps have been expected. is silent on the move ments in Italy. We extract the following article from Parma : PARMA, Fs'. 1. Her Majesty, our august Sovereign, by a decreed 27th January, has created a Council of State and conferences of 'which the Secretary of State is President. By this decree the ordinary Council of State Is di. sided into two Chambers, emit composed of three Couneillon, one of whom is to act as Preiddent. The executive pert of the general admi nistration of the Duchies, is divided into four sections, each having a Director immediately depending on the Secretary of State. These /atlas are: 1, Justice and General Police; 2, the Interior; 3, the Finances 4, the roads and rivers (answering to the Punch pony et Maness) which are substituted for the two departments of the interior and finance. The poets of Delegate of the Government at Parma, of Inspector- General of the Treasury, and of the High Commissioner of Police are suppressed, and their duties will be divided among the four sections, ac., cording to their nature. Another decree of the same date appoints the persons who are to 11l up the small offices, and who are to enter on their functions on the 16th Feb.—Gaseita di Milano, Pa. 6. The German Papers received this day are wholly destitute of interest. We confine ourselves to the few following passages: MUNICH, Fan. 3. Mr. Von Homthal bar given notice, that his Majesty the Zing has not thought fit to give him, as elected Deputy to the Second Chamber, the desired permission to tate his mat in that Chamber. Frs. A—According to the terms of the Constitution, the Govern ment has disproved the deputies Behr, Hirtbal Clown, Count Suf. text, and Batelmeyer, who, therefore, cannot take their seats in the Assembly of the States. This time, the advocates also will not be admitted, except with the consent of the Government. Munich has now 78,800 inhabitants.

DUCHY OF NASSAU, Fos. S.

However, it is stipulated that these recruits shall not be sent to the colonies, but be solely employed in des feeding the throne from the dangers of the insurrection in Europe. VIENNA, Pas. b.

CITISRES OF MAGDALENA—Penetrated with the great est grief, lam overwhelmed with sorrow. The father deur country is no more. The public calamities, and the inn& lode of his enemies, have brought him to an untimely end on the 17th inst. at 1 P.N. His end has been butened by hie heroic sacrifices for his country ; and the tears of his friends attest the sincerity of their grief, for the loss of a hero whose name must be for ever embalmed in the hearts of his countrymen. Crrisses—The Liberator has been devoted to you to the latest period of his existence. Hear his voice, and respect his decrees, which, should we violate, the national ruin must be the infallible result, and the independence of Colombia will die with the hero who gave her liberty. CIT I rawe—The Liberator has left us for ever. We must be unanimous, and go hand in hand, for the good of the union, and secure what be has already achieved for us—obeying the lacteal Government, in order to liberate us from anarchy— and our conduct will correspond with the Liberator's desire. Remain firmly united together, and swear on his grave to follow up the dictates which his inspired mind laid down for the good of his country; and by this means will we honour his memory, and discharge a heavy debt of gratitude. (Signed) JUAN DR FRANCISCO DE MARTIN. Carthorse, Dee. 21, 1831. The following is the last decree issued by Bolivar, and al luded to by General Martin : THE LIBERATOR TO THE CITIZENS Or COLONSIA, Colombians—You have ailed me in concentrating my forces to cherish liberty where tyranny bad fixed its abode. I have unceasingly and disinterestedly exerted my best ener gies for your welfare. I have even abandoned my fortune and my personal trnnquillity in your cause. My enemies abuse your credulity, and endeavour to destroy my reputa tion, by questioning my love of liberty ; and, fellow citing', I grieve to say it, that I am the victim of my persecutors, who have now conducted me almost to my grave, but I pardon them. " My affection to my country will not permit me to sanc tion any extraordinary funeral obsequies. My last desire— my last hope is to see the consolidation of my beloved country. Let all unite for the good of the union—let the people confide in the actual Government to save them from anarchy—let the priests offer up their orisons to heaven, and the soldier regard his sword as the best guarantee for preserving the institutions of his country. " Colombians ! I leave you, but my last prayers are offered up for the tranquillity of Colombia • and if my death will contribute to this desirable end, by ;discontinuance of party feeling, and consolidate the union, I shall descend with feelings of contentment into the tomb, which will soon be prepared for me. SIMON BOLIVAR. Lathe Camp of HaciesdiS from Santa Martha, Dec. 10 , 18.18. The following general was issued at Carthagena on is 21st ult. by the military commanders. " Soldiers ! The sun of Colombia is set. Its bright ray has ceased to shine on this part of the globe. The father of his country, the illustrious Bolivar, is no more ; and a cen tury of mourning will not be sufficient to show our love, our gratitude, and our attachment. ' Soldiers ! You well know what Colombia has lost in her Liberator. A loving father—a faithful soldier—a wise magistrate—and the best protector of humanity. " Soldiers ! Our Liberator trusted always intros patriotism in your virtues, as well as the affection you voluntarily evinced toward s person. " Soldiers ! It is not possible to misunderstand the cause of his death, and the country will appreciate your submission to the existing Government as a proofof your attachment to your late Chief, I shall attend to his last desires, and shall be the first to show my submission to the last mandate of the benefactor of Colombia. (Signed) " IGNACIO DR LUQUE. " Cartbsgens, Dee. 21, 11131." FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE EXCLUSIVE. PARIS, Fes. 16. The disturbances here, which appear to be happily over, presented yesterday rather a formidable appearance. Paris certainly formed a curious spectacle. Mardi Gras, which is kept quite a festival with all classes of people, together with the fineness of the weather, had set all the population on foot; and while on the Boulevards there was a double line of vehicles of all descriptions, filled with gay coin parry, many of them dressed and masked in a gro tesque manner, parading op and down during the *hole day, amidst crowds of spectators ; in other parts of Paris, particularly in the rue St. Honor 4, the masked groups were mixed with the armed patroles of the National and Municipal Guards ; who, instead of being able to join in the festivities of the day, bad an arduous and painful duty to perform in keeping the multitude in check, who had spread upon so many points, that it naturally weakened the Guards by dividing them into so many parties. The palace of the Archbishop was completely sacked ; every article offur niture ; all his valuable books and manuscripts were destroyed, —and thrown into the Seine, which presented a curious I appearance, for it was literally covered with the wreck of his property; and had the Archbishop himself been in the Pa lace, he would, in all probability, have floated in company. The whole interior of his house is destroyed—shelves, floor ing, deors, &c. were torn away, and in the evening a fire made of the materials—even the roof is removed. The Na tional Guard took no steps to prevent it ; but formed a circle about the Palace, and kept those who were employed in the act of devastation from proceeding to other spots. The fine gilt cross, nearly twenty-five feet high, has been pulled from the tower of Notre-Dame. Many men, with sledge hammers, were at work upon it; but finding it resisted their efforts, a rope was at last attached to it, and with the united efforts of numbers, amongst whom some of the Na tional Guard existed—it at last came down with a tremen dous crash. So enraged were the populace against the archbishop, that every article of his linen and clothes were torn into a thousand pieces and trampled on. I do not believe that there is above one or two crosses left standing upon any of the churches in Paris ; and affair de ly can not be had for love or money, excepting those which have been knocked off the different places where they formed parts of the ornaments. In the Places des Victoires, where there is a fine bronze statue of Louis XIV. it is surrounded by an iron railing, the heads of which were flaws do lye ; all were yesterday knocked off with sledge hammer, while the Guard not only stood round and enjoyed the sport, but actually took a share in the destruction. While this was proceeding, the procession of the &eV' Gras, with the band of male and car of Gods and Goddesses past ; this arrested the attention of the populace for a few minutes, but after it bad pasted the work of destruction recommenced, and every rail bead was knocked off, or the flew d e 4. destroyed. I saw many of them purchased at a franc each. I suppose to be kept as monuments of the day. A party of the mob est o ff to the country residence of the Archbishop, which was pillaged, or rather every thing destroyed, tho same as at the palace in Paris; the particulars, however, have not yet arrived. The Archbibop has fled, and a warrant is issued for his apprehension. A strong muster of the people proceeded to the Chamber of Deputies, crying " A bas les Deputes ;" but were fortu nately checked by finding it surrounded by a strong party of the guards. The house of M. Dupin bad a visit ; but there the inmates resisted the people till the arrival of the guards. Many arrests have taken piece, and many more will follow without tioubt ; for it appears there was a regularly organized plan in 'several departments of France, particularly in La Vender, the people of which were all to have risen simul taneously, provided the plot had succeeded in Paris. There can be little doubt but the government will deal firmly with these disturbers of the public peace. Many of the ex-Garde du Corps, and of the Royal Guards, were known to have as sisted at the ceremony of St. Germain. General Pajol has, therefore, in his order of the day of yesterday, stated that all officers a nd subalterns of these corps, are to quit Paris within twenty-four hours; unless they can give a good proof or per mission of sojourn ; otherwise they will be arrested and re ported to the Minister of War. The cross on the top of the church of the Assumption was too strongly fixed to yield to the populace ; it therefore re mains with the rope attached to it. The populace had threa tened to sack all the churches ; they were consequently all closed, and a strong body of guards stationed to protect them. At six o'clock yesterday evening the drums again beat to arms and caused alarm ; but it was only to strengthen the different posts, and station strong guards and form patroles upon those points that were likely again to be in commotion. Amongst those who have been arrested is the Baron de Vitrolles, an ex-Peer of France, and Viscount Felix de Conny, an ex ' Deputy ; it was at the house of the latter that a rough plan was found of a Royalist Association, between the South and ' La Vendee. The office of the Quotidienne was attacked by the people, but the guards arrived in time to prevent the destruction of the types, &c. It was not expected to appear to-day, but it has, however, made its appearance, having been printed at another office. J. L. P. S.—At present all is tranquil. The guards are still on duty in all parts of the city, and strong bodies patrole the streets. The Court of the Palais Royal is closed, and occupied with a regiment of the line. Last night a strong body of the National Guards bivouacked in front of the remains of the palace of the Archbishop, as did also a detachment in the Court of the Palais-Royal. Many houses were illuminated last night, in case any fresh disturbance should arise, that the streets might be well lighted to give facility to the movements of the Guards..., There were masked balls at all the theatres ; which, as they did not commence until midnight, kept Paris in a bustle all night. These were all well attended, as well as all the coffee-houses and restaurateurs in their immediate neighbourhood; so you may judge that the minds of the Parisians were soon at ease. J. L This morning a party of the people collected in the Place de Carousel, and were casting some very significant looks at the entablature on the Triumphal Arch, which displays some of the heroic deeds of the Duke of Angouleme. They no doubt would soon have defaced the only remaining witness of the said deeds, had not General Count Lobau assured them that they should be removed. Workmen were imme diately sent for, and they are now being removed amidst the cheers of the populace.—The hatred of the French people for all that appertains to the exiled family, has been very con spicuous in this I hope last commotion. Their cause, and that of all their abettors, has certainly lost ground instead of gaining any. IXTRACTS TRAM TIM P/LILII JOURWALS. The Commission of the Electoral Law appears to have adopted, at last, for the Electoral Census, the amount of 240 francs, and 750 franca for that of eligibility. The report will be made on Saturday, by M. Berenger.—Le Tempt. We are assured that the King of Naples has given a Con stitution to his Kingdom, and that he has been carried in triumph by the people.—Le Globe. We are assured that the French Government sent yester day a courier to Madrid to notify to the Spanish government that they must disperse the assemblies of Frenchmen which are forming towards the frontiers, and cause them to retire beyond Madrid. The Cabinet of the Palais-Royal declared at the same time that the entry into Spain of a prince of the fallen branch of the Bourbons, would be considered as a declaration of war on the part of the cabinet of Madrid. A cordon of 60,000 men will be formed in France upon the Py renees, to support that notification.—Le Tempt. BELGIUM. The reception of the Belgian Deputies, by the King, appears to be put off till to-morrow (Thursday)."—Le Globe. The letter addressed by M. Surlet de Chokier to the Con gress, in order to prepare the nation for a refusal which ap peared to be definitive, has, as was so be be expected, ex cited in the assembly, and especially in the country, a lively agitation. Nevertheless, no ♦exatious symptom has at pre sent been manifested, and it gives us reason to think that the Belgian people will take a calm and peaceable attitude which becomes so well a regenerated nation. Our brothers understand that the non-acceptation is a sacrifice made to the happiness of Europe, for their tranquility and that of ours ; they understand that a general war would be much more prejudicial to them than to another country, since at all times when continental nations clash, it is Bel gium which serves them for a field of battle. Our neigh bours are too enlightened not to reason thus, and not to feel that they must cede to the empire of circumstances and have faith in time and liberty. Such must be, and such are, we are assured, their thoughts and their dispositions.— Le Constitutionnel. CITY, ONZ O'CLOCi Consols which left off yesterday at 8O for the Account, opened at the same price with little or nothing doing : as yet scarce a bargain has been done. The Foreign Market is in the same state as that of the Bri tish, quite inactive. Prices are nominal at present. The Express from Paris amply furnishes oar city politi cians with information from that capital this morning, and which they are busily employed in perusing. Order again to be restored ; and no doubt the vigilance of the Government will prevent, in future, such scenes of riot. There is a statement in the Sydney papers, received this day, that a party of Englishmen, belonging to a trading vessel, have been poisoned by the natives of the South Sea Islands. CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
