'yr.; in perusing the translation of the document fur visited by the Havannah Noticiosu Mercuric! of the Bth September, that on the 1 7th of July, a suspension o f hostilities between the Royal troops in Vera i;ruz+ and those of the Patriots besieging that place, (subject s o the approval or rejection of the Commandet-in- Chief of the Independents) bad alone taken place, and that no period for it. continuance or termination is stated in the article. y In fact, all seems to depend on the %sill of the Patriot leader. An armistice for three months may no doubt have followed as a consequence of this suspension of arms at Vera Croz, but the journal we have quoted makes no mention of this event. [PROM THE DETROIT GAZETTE, SEPT. 7.] TREATY Or CUICAGO.—On Thursday last Governor Gin and Mr. Sibley, the Commissioners appointed to treat with the Indians, returned from Chicago, toge ther with the gentleman who attended, with the treaty. We understand that the object of the Government has Iterl fully obtained, and that a cession has been made by the tatßand; on favourable terms, of allthe country estendisg from the Southern boundary of this country to the (inked River, containing by estimation upwards 0 (5,000,000 acres. Not less than 3000 Indians at tended at the Council, and during the whole progress they conducted themselves with propriety. aritACT OP A LETTER FR9SI CHILI, [MUD SA? TIMIO, MARCH IS. The U,.'t_•d States frigate Constellation sailed from Coquimbo, on the 30th March for Aranco, to demand of lienavides the master and crew of the whale ship, Hero, amd her provisioos. A decree has been issued that tobacco shall be a government article, but the decree had not yet taken effect, the government not harirg funds wherewith to purchase. Large quantities of this article are expected from Peru. NEW YORK OAZEITE, SEPT. 28. BOARD OF HEALTH. SEPT. 97.—There has been reported to the Board of Health, by the President Phy. sician, two cases of malignant fever. The board also states that two persons who were taken sick were vent dawn to the Marine llospital. Both had worked on board the ship, Maria, laying at gu•►rantine, a sickly vessel, from which four persons had died at the Marine Accounts from Hanover, our readers will observe, state, that notwithstanding all the elaborate reasoning of the official article in the Berlin Gazette, it is the opinion of people there that a war between Russia and the Porte is still anticipated, and would be very popular. The objects of the diplomatists now assem bled in that city, appear to be as secret, as their ac tivity is visible ; and all that can be collected is that thc Cabinet of Vienna, if war should take _place. will be on the aide of that of London, though the policy of the English Government, which is supposed to be on friendly to the Greeks, is by no means consistent with the popular feeling in Germany. This conjecture, rcvecting the understanding between the English and the Austrian Cabinets, has received some corroboration from an article from Vienna, received by the last mail, which states that it was there believed that the obje c t of the visit of Prince Metteroich to Hanover was to arrange au uniform line of conduct fur the Austrian and British Plenipotentiaries at Constan tinople, in order that they might act vigorously toge ther to promote the maintenance of peace. Whether this I.e the form the arrangement is to take we know not ; but it is evident that some important arrange ment is actually on the tapir, and whet is still more interesting, that some arrangement is abso lutely necessary to keep the Holy Allies or any two of them together. The Berlin State paper alleged that when the insurrection in Greece arose, these Al lies mutually engaged, that to whatever measures it might in the sequel compel them, it should not dis unite them. What more is necessary to prove the false hood of this assertion than the necessity that exists for the present elaborate and mysterious negotiations at Hanover. Human nature is the same in every country, but to bad Government it owes its prejudices, its bigotry, and intolkrance. Early impressions are not to be removed by any thing bat strong sense and philoso phy ; and real courage can never be exhibited to more advantage than when it is called in to vanquish those illiberal ideas that grow up with us from childhood. The old Tories amused us with the notion that a li mited form of Goverment was not permanent, and would at all times be a scene of broils and democratic uproar ; that absolute monarchies only could exhibit justice and protection to the subject. Theoeopinions have been so completely falsified by the past and the present, that we have little dread of the future. The Portuguese have proceeded regularly in the work of regeneration ; it appears, they have brought their RING so far to his senses, that he is conducting bitneelf with more wisdom than any other Monarch in Europe. The Cortes are incessantly employed in foreleg a Constitution, embracing the genuine princi ples of liberty, reserving to the KING such powers as will prevent his attempt to encroach on the rights of the people. These brave men are 'hewing more constitu- tiosal wisdom and national dignity than any go rerament in Europe ; and, instead, according to the rel. pr notions of three Portuguese makint a bad Spaniard. they are shelving themselves legislators entitled to the admiration of the world. The Prince Royal writes ' from Rio de Janiero that the finances there bad fallen short, and that the army not being regularly paid. ►ad gone to the house of a rich merchant and paid themselves. Here is a picture of a standing army ; sir _critk the hired guardians of the transatlantic Portugu s d have volunteered•to rob those whit employed them Hear this, you thinking people of England; these sol diers pay themselves when the ways and means fall short ; just so wonld it be in other places, and if his Majesty King Joule came in the way of these military law-gi►ers, perhaps, be might feel as awk ward as other victims of military riolence have been heretofore. The Prince Royal, who, by the by, it said to he a liberal, has written from Rio Janeiro, that he feels himself possessed of as concentrated pow ers as a Captain-General ; in consequence of which, be might learn the necessity of submitting to suer con tracted power. A Decree has been promulgated to enable his Royal Highness to travel through France, Spain, and England, accompanied by men of enlight ened winds, and warmly attached to the Consti tutional system. This is an earnest of Portu guese wisdom ; at the same time we should recommend his Royal Highness to make no chew or parade on his journey, and to avoid the political influence attached to Courts. If he do travel, let it be for improvement; let him mix with the people; it is through them alone he can learn wisdom ; it is from them he can learn the wisdom of governing, and the misfortunes attending mal-administration. Let him learn the true sentiment,. of the people, from whose spirit and industry even• thing ►manstes. Let him avoid Courtiers as he would the plague ; and, perhaps, he may return to his native country with the asustance of hi.i travelling monitors, so far improved, as to feel satisfied that no King eat. be of any consequence as a Chief Magistrate, that doe• not study the interests, the personal comfort', and ge neral happiness of his subjects. Let him avoid chew, and look to the Presidentof the UNITED STATICS, Whoa.• salary, for the political management of that Brea world, is not so much as Clerks have in other place ! ' for doing nothing•. We wish his Royal Highness sac cess and improvement on his journey. Most of the operations in the French Stock market are, we understand, conducted by Englishmen, who art endeavouring to get the price of the French Consols up to par. Lisnos. OCT. 18.—" In the sitting of the Cortes of of the 10th instant, the discussion was resumed on the questi in whether persons in public em ployments might he elected members of the legislature. Senor Bastos made a long and able speech, in which hr insisted on the necessity of the separation of the legis lative, the judicial, and executive powers, if it was really wished to have a security for the preservation of liberty. He concluded by pointing out the great in consistency into which the Cortes had fallen, by deny ing the King any share in preparing laws, and yet allowing them to be made by the agents of his power. " Several members spoke in support of the articles of the Constitution as tt originally stood, and Senor Bastos replied to them. After considerable debate, this question was time put to the vote---• May persons holding public offices be elected Deputies for the Cortes?' And carried in the affirmative." An account has been published in Spain of the Mo. nasteries and Convent' suppressed by the Cortes. It appears that in the provinces of Toledo, Castille, Arm gon and Andalusia, the Jesuits possessed 124 colleges, and 16 houses of residence ; the Monks of St. Ber nard 60 monasteries ; those of St. Benoit, 63 ; the Carthusian', 16 ; those of St. Jerome, 48 ; those of St. Basile 17; the Premonstratenses 17 convents ; the military orders, 14 ; the Charitable of St. John, 59 ; the Monks of the Holy Ghost, 8 ; those of St. Antony under the authority of Abbots, 36 ; total, 477. There are, however, not less than 2,692 of these houses still remaining in Spain. The Prince de Croi, Bishop of Strasburg, is appoint ed Grand Ahnoner of France, in the place of the Car-, dinal de Perigord. A Resolution was moved by Lord Suffield, and una nimously agreed to by the Magistrates at Norwich late Sessions, recommending that workmens' wages should be paid not later in the week titan Friday, with a view to the better observance of the Sabbath, and to enable the poor to make their purchases without its vio !ado's. The Resolution cannot be too highly praised. The exterior of the King's Palace, in Pall-mall, has undergone repairs, previous to his Majesty's return to England. It has been new painted, &c. ; the Palace yard has been n.w paved Ind gravelled. The cannon taken by the Duke of Wellington at the battle of Wa terloo, has been removed from the spot in St. James's Park into the Ordnance warehouse on the Parade; and the celebrated bomb, made by order of Bonaparte for the siege of Cadis, was yesterday finally removed near to the spot where the Waterloo cannon formerly stood, under the direction of Mr. Hirst, of the Office of the Board of Works. Yesterday Benjamin Charles Stepheasoe, Esq. the Surveyor General of his Majes ty's Works and Public Buildings, and the Might Hon. Charles Long, the Chairman of the Committee for the inspecti o n of National Monuments, attended on the Parade in St. James's Park, and gave directions for the spot where the celebrated French bomb is to be placed, which is between the West ride of the wall of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's garden and the Canal. We understand the report of a statue of the late King being placed on the spot where the cele baated Waterloo cannon stood, is not correct. Thus far saith the Court Circular; but farther it saith not. The public wonder at these changes, and enquire the cause. But what reason can be assigned for alter ations with which reason has not to do. The change takes place, because a change is desired ; and the effect is sufficient of itself to indicate the motive. During the autumn a considerable improvement bas been made in Hyde Park, near the Chesterfield-vete. The fiat part there, which was so low as to bootee overflowed, and was somewhat unwholesome to the neighbourhood, has been raised by a thick graham of brick-ribbish, now pretty well covered with moald. The sew ground is, however, townsman to be turfed, and it may be long before there is a good sod upon it. !Cm Fasrtca TRANOLATIOS or Tie 8ieLe..•.:1 1,6 King of Frame has suctioned a Dew Fritsch Trans lation of the Bible by K.

' A —Nothing has yet transpired respeitaif the proceed ings of the diplomatists assembled here; hitt you may be assured that they are of the highest tinpibitance. The parties observe the strictest secrecy in their deli berations, and conjecture would in vain ofiei an opinion as to the result. Various rumours are afloat in this country; on none of which can any reliance be placed. It is, powever, generally understood, that in the event of Ilimpture with Russia, the Cabinet of Vienna will incline to our side. People are not equally certain of the co-operation of France, hut the next de *patches from that country are expected to speak de- • cisively on the subject. I find that the anticipated war between Russia and the Porte is exceedingly po pular all over the Continent, And men descant with ' great asperity on the system of policy which we think 'it our interest to pursue. " What!" said a Prussian Officer, whom I happened to converse with last night, " how can England call herself the friend either of freedom or Christianity, when she distributes Bibles with one hand. and assists tyrant Infidels with the other?" The sentiments of Prussia are known to be decidedly against us. His Majesty will certainly leave Herrenhausen on Thursday morning, and not delay in his progress to England, longer than will be necessary to avoid too much fatigue. In a former let ter 1 mentioned the route he intended to take, but 1 believe it will be somewhat more circuitous than was it fast contemplated. His Majes:y will probably stop s day at the University of Gottingen. where there are at present no less than thirteen hundred students. He will thence proceed to Cassel and Cologne, and after crossing the Rhine at or near Coblentx, will take the road to Aix-la-Chapelle, and upon leaving that town . ill retrace the same ground he already passed over, stopping perhaps a day at Brussels. Yesterday his NlJjesty dined in private with his sister the Princess of Ilesse Homburg and Sir William Knighton. His %lajesty has not made his appearance in public since ass temporary attack of Cie gout. The weather here it present is very wet, and unfavourable to any excur sions which his Majesty might be disposed to take. t'he Duke of Cambridge had a grand dinner party Yesterday, and the Marquess of Conyngham, Sir Ben lamin Bloomfield, and Sir Andrew Barnard, were among the distinguished personages united. COUNTY OP LIMERICK By The Limerick Chronicle of Saturday, received this morning, we learn that the house of Mr. H. Shire. between Croon and Adare, was attacked on Thurs. , lay, and several houses in the neighbourhood of Cap paville, County Clare, on Friday night, and fire arum ►aken therefrom. Wednesday evening, the High Sheriff received an ,rdet, commuting the sentence of Michael Shaughnessy. from death to transportation for life to Botaay Bay ; for which place he was sent on a route to Cork, at an' virally hest on Thursday mooing, seder an escort of tkis 6th Dragoon Guards. Shaoghoessy was to have been hanged this day. In consequence of directions received from his Ex cellency the Lord Lieutenant, C. B. Barker, Esq., High Sheriff of the county of Tipperary, has called a Meet ing of the Magistrates of that county, at Killenanie, on Tuesday next, at twelve o'clock. COUNTY OF CORK. NAWAIARKET AND BUTTSVANT. CORK, OCT. 27.—We regret to perceive that the state of the neighbourhood of these places is such in the opinion of the resident gentry, as to require an addi tional military force to preserve tranquillity. Upon the principle, however, that we have always advocated, namely, an active and timely interference on the first indication of disturbance, we approve of the mea sures adopted at the meeting held in both towns, the particulars ofwhich will be found in another part of our paper. The character of the gentlemen who have taken an efficient part in these meetings; their intelligence and good feeling, insure a happy result of what they have so well undertaken, and encourage a hope that they will arrive at the causes of these unprecedented outrages.—(Sotethern Reporter.) At a Meeting held at ewmarket•honse, County of Cork, on the 24th ult., pursuant to adjournment, R. Aldwortb, Esq. in the chair, the following Resolu tions were unanimously agreed to :—That we are of opinion that two volunteer corps of cavalry and infan try should be raised in and about Newmarket and Kan *ark, to aid the military in preserving the public peace. That we think it expedient that the persons appoint ed to command said corps, be experienced military officers, not under the rank of Captain, appointed by Government, and to hold the Commission of the peace. —(!f aterford Mirror, Oct. 29.) Monday morning the Duchess of Kent, the Princesses Victoria and Peodore, attended by the Baron de Spaed, Mademoiselle Leman, and Capt. Conroy, left Bognor to return to the King's Palace at Kensington. Some very extraordinary documents, respecting the latter days of King Charles 11., have been lately found among the Records in the Het aids College. A correspondent remarks that the Park guns were not area on the 23d, the anniversary of the rebellion of 1841, as was usual on every such anniversary here tofore. The omission, of course, must have been by order of Government.—(Dublin Weekly Register.) Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Captain A. H. Campbell was sworn into the command of the ship Duke of York, consigned to Bombay and Chins. REMARNMILII SPEZCII....-Mr. Coffee, Secretary to the Earl of Essex, was executed in the reign of Queen Elisabeth, & for the same offence which brought his master to the block. At the place of execution he made the following speech I am hire adjudged to die for acting an act never plotted; for plotting a plot never acted ; justice will have her course ; &c -ongers must be heard; greatness will have the vic tory ; scholars and martiatists (though valour and looming should hare the pre-eminenee) in England NUM die like dogs aid be hanged. To Menke this were bet folly; to dispute it but time lost; to alter it ins. pomlbles bet tornadoes it is manly s and to scorn it is magnanimity. The Queen is displeased; the law yeti leeperinesS 'and cloth terrible; bet I crave pas ties of the geese; forgive the lawyers sad the world ; desire to be forgiven ; and welcome death."

It is not n•n tl to notice the performances at lleneftts, from a consideration that the pieces are got up in a htir ry, and that novelty is considered more attrsetive than excellence. However, this house had last night to boast of both, in a most eminent degree although our opi nion of the astonishing cteil i, Jiliss CLARA FtstiEß, was great in the extreme, yet, her acting and reading sur passed any thing weever witnes,•ed. To panegyrise any particular part of her performance would hen eeusore on the rest, as her Little Pickle, her crack and Actress of all Work were the chef dotoores of the art. Mr. HENGOUGII has given the Town one of the first thela trical treats that ever was exhibited is any country, and if tinsel and gingerbread has more attraction than genuine merit. it is to he hoped his Lord ship, the Mayor, will get a patent fur holding Bar tholomew Fair once a month. The pit and galleries were well tilled; we should have wished the boxes had been equally so. Mr. Kean and friends catered the house before the play commenced. M►.

Wood was indkte.l for stealing a piano forte, the property of Messrs. Chapple sad Latour, piano•forte makers, Bond-street. _ _ The circumstances of the case were these :—The pii goner called at the prosecutori' shop and ordered a pi.' nc forte to be sent to his boos*, 22, Folward-strcer, Port man-sguare, directed to T. Wood, Esq. The piano wan accordingly sent, and it was agreed that the prisoner was to pay 45 guineas if he purchased the piano, 335. a month if be only hired it. The transaction tool: place in August, 1820, and the prosecutor beard nothit.7 more of the prisoner until he saw his name in thr ripon a week or two ago, when he was examined before tha ,Magistrate, charged with a variety of similar offences. Mr. Foster, an auctioneer, proved that he sold the piano in question to a Mr. Bygrove, a musical instrument maker, fur 30 guineas, 20 of which he paid to the pri soner. r. Bealey, the owner of the house in Edward-street, deposed that he hired thew ire of the prisoner to let h;s house, and that he gave her fi ve shillings a week fur taking care of it. Witness knew that her husband was confined in the King's Bench prison for debt. On arta occasion the prisoner told witness that he thought is • had let the house to the Archbishop of Tusm. Pri-oner had offered to sell the piano-forte in question to witness, saying he had purchased it when he kept house, and that he had recently redeemed it for 15:. but witness refused to purchase it. Mr. ALLEY, on behalf of the prisoner, argued that the offence did not amount to steeling, and that to make i‘ so a specific contract ought to have been entered loft). slating a given period at n hich the instrument was to be returned or paid fur. The RECORDER overruled the objection. It was fee the Jury to determine what was the prisoner's intentitni. The prisoner declared that when he took the piano it was his Intention to pay fur it. He bail received large sums of money in right of his wife, and was now willies, to enter into any atrangement which the prosecutors might desire. John 801 l deposed that be had paid two-thirds of 1751. to the wife, during the prisoner's confinement in Hie King's Bench. The COSIMO 4 SIRJCANT charged the Jury, explain* to them the law on the subject of stealing, sad dies trating it by several decisious which the twelve• Judges have at different times delivered. The Jury returned a verdict of—Guilty. The Cpaistox SEercasr addressed the Onset sad ehserval, that those who felt inclined to 'postdate upon law, ought to be cautious how they . proceeded. The prisoner might depend upon it that his ingenuity shoul4 send him out of the country.
