I imagine, have been in earnest in contrast ing: it with that of Mr. Canning, whom you designate as a man distinguished for his honorable and inde pendent spirit. I ask you, Sir, if it be possible to conceive a more paltry sneaking behaviour than that of abandoning his cruelly persecuted Queen, with the full conviction of her purity, her honor, and her virtues, to the fangs of a diabolical junta, whose plots against her life and honor, were matured within his knowledge? I maintain .that such conduct is not nicri ly heartless and unmanly, it is actively criminal, sir at least not more distinguished from that of het Majesty's actors/ persecutors, than is that of the villain svl.o stands sentinel whilst murder is committing, and affcrwards turns evidence against his associate., who, in Net, is destitute of that honor which is said to be among thieves. The conduct of Mr. Bathurst, as l before said, has la Pflug least consistent. He was not in the Cabinet wlien the plot was maturing, and until we know to the contrary, we are hound to presume, that had he been there, he might not have been the slave of power to the exit:A of sacrificing his honor to the " Pwlt .stixt:s tyranni." What then have you to stay az:tinst Mr. Bathurst ? How will you _instils your abuse of his character, or withdraw your own y our the imputation of ungentlemanly conduct? However, as you threaten to reserve your farther attacks on the gentleman fur R future occasion, I shall reserve any further rel.:at-4r until called for, which I trust tlicy will not *Kai', be.' I uow, Sir, take my leave of you, begging you to believe, that 1 shall at all times he happy to peruse the eifu,ions of Virginius, when free from the impu tation of personal scurrility and intemperate iovertiee.

The Chatnher of Deputies assembled on Tuesday ; after some preliminary business, the Minister of Fi nance presented a preiri of Law relative to the Budge t ftr 1 4 21. By the details of this prujct, it appeared that the anticipated receipts for 1821, presented an excess abt,ve the expenditnre amounting to 1,255,626 fuses; which, added to the sum left disposable at th? end of the year 1419, 'italics 5,691,371 francs. IVhen to this are added, the sums left disposable at the end of the year 1 by a diminution of the con tril.ut:ons to foreign powers, and a'so the sum saved in a similar manner during the last six months of 15 , 21, therelwill remain in the 'Treasury 30,1100,990 f. This sum, it is intended, should not be appropriated, in order that, by keeping ;t in the Treasury, the public credit might be strengthened and consolidated. •-1 he pr4jct being read, the proposition to have it printed was made and carried by a considerable ma jority.

The several articles of accusa tion against the Ex-Minister of War, Carrascosa, were read by the Deputy Castagna. The President observ ed that they could not come to any decision upon his eontlact until they had heard the report of the New Minister of War upon the condition of the Army. The Depute llegani rendered an account of the pro ceedings it, the Council of War, on the 23d. It had been declared tiot the frontiers appeared pretty well defended, tht,ngli it might be advisable to send some additional re-idol - cements. The Parliament, after some discussion, determined that the artily shall be formed iuto three active divisions, and a corps of reserve—to act as circumstances shall require--Arms are preparing at Milan, Cprfu, and Spain. Comm Zurlo , the Ex-Minister of the Interior, was intr,..duced to the Parliament, and spoke in bis own defence for some time, judgment was postponed to an indefinite period. The Dot de Campo Chiaro, the Et-Minister fur Foreign Affairs, was also introduced, and patio some documents in his defence. It is reported that is case of a war between Austri a and Naples. France will form an army of observation 10,000 sum on the side o f the Alps ; but that will act only as a mediating army : and it is even said that some regiments have received orders to set ont. The King of Naples arrived at Leghorn, in the night of the 26th, on his way to Lsybaeh. The news was announced formally to the Parliament. Lieute nant-General Don Carlos Filangieri has sent in his re signation to the Prince Regent, who has cotumuni rated the circnnistance to the Parliament. The Courts of Turin, Rome, Florence, Modena, and Lucca, are invited by the Sovereigns to send Plenipotentiaries to the Congress of Laybach. It is said the Sovereigns will themselves march at the head of the troops, should it be necessary to em ploy force for the re-establishment of legitimate autho rity at Naples. Some letters from Vienna, contain a vague report, that Lord Stewart will not go to Lavbacli, and that he will be provishnally replaced by 31r. Gordon. Letters of the Mth from Madrid, confirm the news of the invitation of the Sovereigns to King Ferdinand to go to Laybach. The permanent Deputation was convened extraordinarily on the 4th, very late in the evening. '1 hr general opinion is, that they will not permit their monarch to leave the kingdom. Charlstown papers arrived this morning to the 13 , 1 of December, seven 'lays later than the preceding arrivals. From them we give the following ex- tracts :--- HOUSE OF REPRF.SENTATIVES, DEC. 6; in TY ON FRENCH TONNAGE. IV. NE‘‘ TON, front the Committee of t'ommeree, rc ported the folluning bill : Sect. I. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives, that the provisions of the Act entitled an Act to impose a new Tonnage Duty, on French Ships; and Vessels, passed the 15tli of Ilav, 1'!O, shall not! extend to, or operate upon any Freni h ship or vessel that shall have entered into any port within the juris- , diction of the United States, plot. to the 30th of Sep- t temher, 11.20. Sect. 2. And be it further enacted, that the Secretary of the Treasury, after deducting a tonnage duty equal to that paid by every French chip or vessel which entered the ports within the jurisdiction of the United States, prior to the passage and operation of the Act entitled. as Act to impose a new Tonnage Duty on French Ship,' or vessels, passed 3lay 15, from the Tonnage Ditty col lected from French ships and vessels, by virtue of the above recited Act, between the first clay of July, MO, and the 30th day of September folios; ing, be, and is truly authorised and directed to pa and refund the re., minder of such Tonnage Duty, free from cost and charge, to any person or persons who shall have as- thority to receive the same. The Spanish frigate La Constitutimi, with upwards of three millions andahalLof dollv o kusecie A gttyl Deputies to the General Cortes, from the liaca and the province of Cautpeachy, has sailed from Ha vanuah to Spain. The week ensuing is anticipated as a period of In tense anxiety and extraordinary bustle. On Mosby the metropolis in every part is expected to be in mo tion, from the numerous multitudes who are prepar ing to present that day their respective Addresses to the QUEEN. On Tuesday the west end of the ton tt will he reanimated, front the meeting of Parliament, and the attendance of his MAJESTY in person to open the Ses sion with a speech from the throne. On Wednesday the city will exhibit no small sensation from the assem blage of merchants, bankers, and traders, which will be collected at the Mansion !louse, to •indi cate the insulted independence of their character, and to combine their respect for the rights and interests of the country, with their duty to the King. From the general feeling which these occasions will excite, connected with their important objects, more than usual speculation and activity prevail. At such a crisis, it is the right and duty of English men to feel and act like men who have their greatest interests at stake ; but while it is becoming them tol think and speak with energy and frtedom, it ic no less proper for them to beware that their good be not evil spo(cn of In the move ments of multitudes inspired with ardent objects, and exposed to the irritation of opposing parties, and the machinations of designing men, it behoves them especially to guard against occasions that may afford apology for the inroads of violence under the pre tence of law. The peace and order that have hitherto attended the steps of the friends of the Quxass will, we doubt not, entitle them again on Monday, to the respect and admiration of the nation at large; and, on Tuesday, ne trust, afford as just a theme of praise on the passage of his MAJESTY to the House of Lords. In such trying times u these it becomes the people to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at the Foreign Office at half-past two o'clock, which sat till half-past four. • Correspondent observes, that though the 18th of May has been stated as the day of the Coronation, after the 19th had been mentioned, it is probable that, after all, the day preceding may be the time ap pointed !! I The 17th of May, it must be remarked, is the birth-day of her Majesty Queen Caroline. Information from Lima, received at Buenos Ayses, reaches down to the 15th of September. :t was con firmed that Lord Cochrane and San Martin had affect ed a landing at Pisco, but nothing farther was known of their proceedings. The American brig, Warrior had been detained by Lord Cochrane, but for what purpose, or under what pretence, we are not informed. His Majesty'ship Hyperion, had sailed for Valparaiso on the 3d September, for Lima and Putouts, to protect the British trade in that quitter, THE BTA'tEBII COLOMBIAN REPUBLIC.

There is no Colombian, or impartial person, wtio can erceive any advantage to lie derived he Colimiliia from her servitude. The Spanish constitution presents her no advantages.

On the person of the deceased there were found several certifi cates, all of the same tenor, bearing that David Coat was the name of the deceased--that be had lost his hear ing whets seven years of age —that lie was of a wander ing disposition, add requesting information to be sent to the subscriber, George Cowt at Iteathall, near Mused burg, in case any thing should happen so him. The circumstances which led to the discovery of the body are somewhat singular, and afford another instance of the lldelitt of thr canine species. On the eveniug of Mon illy, the shepherd at &taunt hears' a dog-harking in the Same!' Linn, and on going near it, the animal fled. Ttie shepherd alarmed for the safety of his master's dock, fellowed the dog, with a view of driving it off the farm ; but on reaching a certain spot, the dog turned furicusly on its pursuer, and the laCer, after keeping it at hay wills his stick fur about twenty minutes, was glad to rnnke his escape. The shepherd being still very doubt ful of the safety of the sheep 'miler his charge, procured the assistance of a neighbour, having no wish to renew the combat single-hamiesl, and west in pursuit of the dog early on the ensuing morning. When arrived within a few yards of the scene of the preceding night's engage ment, they discovered the dog lying beside the remains of its master.
