MR. O'CONNELL. 4 s p lendid Quarto ENGRAVING of the LTBERATOR 3. of IRELAND, executed on Steel'," trill be presented, ea , ts ,vly, to the Purchas ers of CARPENTER'S POLITICAL L EV ER, to be published on the 4th of FEBRUARY. in the present conjuncture ofnational affairs, when all men are im. to inquire into the origin and remedy of popular distress, it is 'oecessary to dilate on the Lecessky of the advantages of a medium .. dou gh which the people can derive adequate political Information. Nothing i 3 more to be dreaded at the present period than political 'stance, which, it is demonstrable, has caused all the numerous out ;;v which have recently been witnessed in England. To supply Int practical intelligence, which on can guide he people in aod par the management of their e ff al orts e for national t relief lia roper ~:entary reform ; to give fear l ess and impartial comments on political * me asures, and public men ; and to afford a condensed summary of fo- :cign and domestic affairs, accompanied,by appropriate remarks, is the design of the Political Letters and Pamphlets. Ti describe the cha racter of their politics, it is only necessary to state, that they are identified with the most extended liberty and interests of the people, which the Editor stands pledged to maintain by every honest,direetond det rmeined means within his power. The entire freedom of the press, 35 a mode o f strengthening and uniting the people, and the abrogation of those laws by which this essential right of the subject has been de stroyed and infringed, the Editor has singly stood forth to maintain, against those oppressive but imperfect enactments, which may be ho nestly evaded. As his arduous undertaking commenced and continues for the sacred cause of the people, it is needles to add, that they are the source to whom he looks frr support, and by whom that support, to a liberal and most encouraging measure, has already been afforded. He trusts that a reference to those Letters and Pamphlets on various sub jects already published, will be found to recommend)lis undertaking to the impartial and discriminating public. The Political Letters are the sante size as the " Examiner, comprising 16 pages of closely printed letter-press ; and contain, in addition to a large quantity of original writing, a comprehensive digest of domestic and foreign affairs. The following have already appeared : t. Letter to the Duke of Wellington. s. Letter to Sir Robert Peel. 3. Letter to the Commissioners of Stamps. t. Letter to the People of England. 5.

LAUSANNE JAN. 10, 1831.--Luczawx.—The Consti tuent Assemby of this Canton, after having appointed a Com mittee to digest the project of the new Constitution, has heard their Report, and adopted the greatest part of the ar tistes of the BiU. The majority of this Assembly is per fectly sound, and will put aside extremes of all kind. SOLEUAZ.—The Grand Council has not only given the greatest publicity to the debate on the new Constitution, but has expressed a desire that popular Aseemblies should be assembled, that the people may themselves closely examine the Constitutional Charter ; each parish will send Deputies to those assemblies ; and Commissioners, sent by the Grand Council, will give every explanation that might be asked on the new Constitution. GalsoNs.—The various Societies of Riflemen of the Canton have volunteered their services, and the Grand Council has accepted them with thanks. The government of the canton has issued orders that all the militia of the country should be ready as soon as they were called. All the inhabitants of that canton are anxious to give proofs of their patriotism. GEwEv•, Jew. s.—The Ukase of the Emperor Nicho las, which has forbidden his subjects to reside in France, has induced a great number of Russian families of the first distinction to flock to our town ; among the number are se veral General Officers. It is said that M. Poses) di Borgo, the Russian Ambassador to Paris, told his countrymen that they ought to prefer Geneva to every other place ; there you will see, observed he to them, a quiet people, enjoying all the blessings of liberty. We really do not see why the contemplation of such a state of things should be so parti cularly recommended to Russians. BASLE, JAN. 4.—We expected that we might enjoy some tranquillity, but our hope was deceived. The town is in an uproar ; the peasants have met in great numbers at Liestehl —they are armed, and appear to be decided on en tering the town, We expect them this very night. The Grand Council is assembled ; the Municipal Body are now deliberating what measures are to be taken. Four members of the Council of State, who were deputed to them, could obtain nothing from those mep, except that they wouli wait twenty-four hours, at the end of which, if their demands for the change of the Constitution were not.granted, they then would attack the town. The gates' of the city are abut, and. the artillery are featly to receive thei4. Bill:ft, Jsir. 4.,This Canton is In a state of high for **illation.

We from Lucerne that our Federal Colonel Guigner (all Ilkdernl Colonels have the rank of Major-Generals) has been .appointed by the Diet Commander-in-Chief of all the troops of the Confederation. It is said, that the dila command was offered to Gen. Roten, a Swiss offices, who distinguished himself greatly in the Spanish war, and of whom the following sketch may not be unacceptable to con :—Gen. Roten is a native of the Canton of Vallais, an o i s l i j!forty-five yews of age ; his family Is one of the most b Table in the land, and its members have been long dis tinguished for their patriotism and liberal mind. General Roten began his military career in the Spanish. service, and entered as an officer in the Walloon Guards; he became Co- lone!, and was afterwards appointed Colonel of a Spanish'' regiment. General Roten fought in the war for the inde pendence of Spain against Napoleon, and was made a prisoner; he refused all the brilliant offers of Napoleon, who wished to attach him to his service ; he remained faithful to his liberal opinions and to his conscience, and declared that he never would fight but for the cause of liberty and justice. In 1817, he was promoted by the King to the rank of Brigade General. In 1820, in conse quence of his services, he was made Lieutenant-General (General de Division) by the same Sovereign. In 1822 he was appointed second in command in Catalonia, under his friend, General -Don Francisco-Spos-y-Mina, who was Governor of that province. Roten commanded at Barcelona during the remarkable siege of that city, and covered him self with glory. General Roten is a man of extreme mo desty ; his simplicity of manners is such as forcibly to recall to the mind our glorious ancestors—the Melchthal, the Furst, and Stauffacher—to whom we are indebted for the liberty we have so long enjoyed ; his kindness of heart, his ardent and disinterested patriotism, are acknowledged with enthusiasm in his Canton, where he is universa lly beloved. Well, this General Roten has declined the com mand, and has begged that he may be allowed to serve under the order of General Guigner, and we expect every instant to hear that he has been appointed Lieutenant General. Colonel Guigner has served in France, in the Swiss auxiliary troops, and was lately at the head of the militiu of this Canton. He had the chief command of two Fedetal camps ; is well known by the troops of the Confederation, anti is greatly respected. His character is firm and his patriotism universally acknow ledged. The choice of the Diet has given general satis faction. Gamma, Jaw. 10.—Private letters inform us that a_ insurrection has taken place at Munich, in Bavaria; the students of the University of that town have taken a con leuous part in it. Government has issued an order to close University, and that in 24 hours all the students were to leave the town. BROWS JAN. 10.—It has been some time very evident that the Government of Berne were not disposed to grant the Constitution which was so generally called for by the peo ple ; petitions from all sides of the Canton Were sent to .Berne; the reluctance of the Government being well known, general assemblies of the people were held in various places —impatience was at its height, and indignation knew no bounds, when it was known that Government had taken into their pay six hundred soldiers, lately returned from France. The Council of State must yield to circumstances, and it ap pears at last disposed to do so, for a proclamation has just been addressed to the people, promising that the Grand Council should be assembled on the 13th instant ; it is de clared beforehand that it is the intention of Government to grant a constitutional reform ; they deny the intention of opposing the six hundred above-mentioned soldiers to the people. In the meanwhile men of influence over the public mind have hitherto succeeded in maintaining order ; the time of adopting evasive measures is at an end ; Govern ment know the disposition of the nation, and we strongly hope that the wished-for revolution will be operated without bloodshed. . Bssz.z, JAW. 9.—Our critical situation is still the same' —the peasants attempted, yesterday, to cut off every com munication between the town and country—they have stop ped the diligence at Olten, and have seized the dispatches which the Bernese Government sent to our Council of State. At Liesthal they have established a temporary Provisionary Government. The bridge over the Birse has been cut down—all our suburbs have been barricaded—the streets have been unpaved, and the stones carried into the houses. We are ready to begin to fight; may, however, Heaven grant that those dreadful consequences may be avoided by a constitutional reform ! A proclamation has just been issued by the Government, and it appears that it had a good effect on the people.—Chronicle. LAW REPORTS. ——...— COURT OF KING —.... 'S BENCH, Jae. 19.

A person having removed from one garish to another, took a house, and being unable to pay the rent, applied to the parish he had left foe salaams. They advanced him 61. The Magistrates held this to be a fraud on the appellant parish, because the money had bees advanced to enable the pauper to gain a new settlement, and they made an order to that eflict. The Court of King's Basch was moved to quash the older; but taking the view of the transaction which the Justices had taken, they affirmed the order. Other questions, relating to Parochial Settlements, occupied the at. tendon of the Court until three o'clock, when the Judges went to the Exchequer to determine points arising oat of Crown cases.

Mr. KILL? said he would follow his Lordship's advice. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jaw. 19. Sittings in Banco. ILATHRONE v. DItAILZIPORD. Mr. Staorawr Jonas moved to set aside the rule obtained in this ease. The facts were these :—Two brothers, John and David MAk !. ford, were partners in a house at Manchester, and David was a awl, in a London house also. The difficulty of the ease arose out of this circumstance. The house at Manchester had given a cheek upon the London house for the payment of Mr. Cooper. for whom the plaintid, Itathbone, cashed it. Cooper afterwards became a bankrupt ; t*:e plaintiff then threatened to proceed against the Manchester house u less the check should be Instantly paid. A conversation had brat proved which had taken place between David Drakeford, who wastittl, in London, and another, in which he said he would write to Alau chester and urge his brother John to pay the demand. The Court held. that aa David Drakeford was a partner in both th • firms, and that as he had undertaken to use his influence with the Man. cheater house to pay the check, he must be understood to have acted a• a partner in that firm; therefore, the rule must be made absolute. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JAN. 19. , LAMB V. BURKETT. dr. Ricsrans mewed for a rule to skew cause, why the verdict in this case should not be est aside. and a new trial granted. The ease came on for trial What Mr. Baron Bayley, at the tam Sittings at Guildhall; the Jury found a %edict for the defendant, and his applisadea, et assess, was on behalf of the plaintiff. It was as widen el troupes he aessialtag the plaintiff, or in other words, for leggin semen. The phi was that the plaintiff's conduct wi: , mamas anddiseederly, soil that be trio punis he d for the purpose .'f preserving coda and details WI bested the ship. After the evidence was given, he did net rest --bilessilt at liberty to say that the conduct of the pabeaff had set begs' hamper e but from the maw of ex ciseman that prevails among the mariners, who are in the habit of navigating between this country and the gist ladies, it wt.s , highly expedant that the question should be set at rest. The plaintiff was a mariner on board the lisdeby Castle. He did not mean to contend that when a ship was on the high seas, and when the Capt. could remise no assistance from any alba source, he was to be pre vented froni having recourse to his own power ; and then he might be justified in inflicting chastisement on the sailors; but when the ship was anchored in Macao roads, be contended" he bad no autho. rity to do so. At the time the punishment took place, there was no mu tiny whatever; and when Cretan was about to be punished, the plaintiff asked the Captain what power he had to puniab the men ? It was clear that the Captain should not exercise his arbitrary power to punish with out the interference of his officers. He submitted that the Captain's power to punish men was confined to the periods when the ship was on the high seas; If be was justified in flogging men in Blame Roads, where they had been at anchor for many weeks, and for an offence which was said to have been committed before, and fur which the man had II:. n kept in hens, he would be equally juified in flogging a turn in Marpte Roads, or at the East India Dock-gate. Whatever power the Captain of a ship in the service of the East India Compaq had. must be pits - eased b_y the Captain of a ship in any other I-peeks of mole. Mr. Baron BATLEY read his note,. of the evidence. Lord L•onsuits• proceeded to say that he was of opinion, upon all the circumstances of the case, that the Jury had come to a proper con clusion, and therefore the rule must be refused. The rest of the Court concurred. His Lordship then retired to sit in the Exchequer Chamber. PREROGATIVE COURT, JAN. 19. (Before Dr. LUBMINGTOW.) BILAMWELL V. BRAMWELL. The KING'S ADVOCATB stated this case. It was a suit commenced by William Bramwell, for &restitution of conjugal rights., and now met by an allegation from the wife, pleading adultery and cruelty on his part. The parties was mauled in 1806, and resided at Pimlico. After their marriage a person, named Elizabeth Jeffiy, was taken into their Kr. vim, and remained there, first es musety-maid, and afterwards as Lady's. maid, till the year 1821, when she was sent to Tunbridge Wells, to su perintend the Castle ton, which belonged to Mr. Bramwell. The first specific charge of adultery had been spoken to by doper, the forma landlord of the Castle Inn. Mr. Bramwell cone down in 11116 to Tunbsidge Wells, and while residing at the Castle Inn, received a wound, by which he was maned to his bed. hire. Bramwell catue down from Pimlico, accompanied by JefiVy. Mr. Bramwell was re. midst, when the landlord, Soper, going hue his ruo:n to the af ternoon of the 11th of October, found Jeffry lying in bed with him.
