Ibe Convention, it is expected, will close its labours a. Among its proceedings we notice the right of 'rage. The Elovernor is to be elected for two years ; t State is to be divided into eight districts for Sena n, and every Senator elected mast possess freehold the value of lON dollars, and to be thirty years old. The eyes of Europe are directed at this moment to consequences that will attend the change of M orn in France. Prom many circumstances it is to ;served that this event, though brought about by 'accession to the seat of power, was contemplated al,liag. "We trust." he says, " they will steer realiglitened course ; bat we are too well aware that kiessessew maw MIR eai the ow" "immlf" A r. lapprehension by many of the warm friends of the Owns. The king himself is understood to have iiest.ed in it with reluctance. Every change of and measures in a country like France might be ogla to unsettle the public mind, which much aired to be attached. and to shake the bun ion of the throne. Even the great advocate Ultra principles. in this country. with all exaltation that he feels on the accession his friends to oflice. appears to rejoice with I. is intentions may be warped by prejnditv." The Mcipks of the Ultras, if carrried to their full extent, sot managed with the nicest discretion, are, what is wily advocate is well aware would be most likely, 'the present state of Europe. to produce the most sleet and fatal re-action in France. The present Inge is accounted the work of the Asooomtwa y, and what the tendency of that party, and that ily is, nerd scarcely be explained. If the present , out of compliment to their patrons. should at t the task of bringing France back to the state in It she was before the Revolution, their overthrow least will be inevitable. In the meantime, they ad pledged. from the terms in which they carried their ovosition to their predecessors. to make e considerable changes both in the foreign and stir pOlici of their Government. In respect to former, they will probably consult the popular ling. Dot only relative to the Greeks, but to the Mans, and endeavour to regain their national !orbits standing prominent in the adjustment of the airs of the continent. In regard to the latter, they ood pledged to discontinue the censorship of the press. his restraint they felt, while their rivals were in wer, with as great chagrin as tbeirlate associates, the 'berth, though from different causes. From the talents inch of their description as ate public writers, they e vain of their influence over public opinion, and ere mortified that this influence could not be felt. ow far the liberty for which they contended. when t of office, will be respected by them while invested nit it, is a question we must leave for time to solve. In mean time, and in the first instance, we find they re fulfilled the hope they bad raised, and that which InsW.at any time and every country such as France.to in esssential object, bas been effected. The shackles armed on the press, will be removed, and probably telestituted by laws, conciliating and of course gra . lagto the great body of the French people. Such chug, in French politics forebodes good to every rof liberty. It is of little consequence what sly is in power. provided. they act for the general rest of the country. We should much wish to see • I independence of the press established in England, ad of annihilated by a rapacious junta unknown the law. a '4 at as 0 ise la ids Me se , se • A mail from the Brazils arrived yesterday, with let t% hom Rio de Janeiro of the 24th October.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTHERN REPORTER. "Stn-1 shall thank yon to contradict the report of the post-boy and dragoons being attacked near Rain bows Monstain. The boy and one dragoon that came up from Charleville gave a very improper account; no thing of the kind having occurred, or any shots being fired, except by themselves, through wantonness. On the report reselling this, a large party of the military immediately scoured the country with Lord Doneraile, a Magistrate, and of course returned without any prisoners, having ascertained that nothing of the kind had taken place.-1 am, Sir, your very obedient humble rerrant, " Joux HATCROPT. " Do neraile Post-ofbce, Dec. 10. Many other of the accounts we receive of murders and robberies in Ireland, we doubt not, have no better foundation than the above. We believe so, because of the many contradictions that are given to reports of these kinds in the Irish papers themselves. and which of course we forbear to repeat. The state of the dis turbed districts, however, is really such, as makes ex aggeration unnecessary. In the county of Limerick. neither the exertions of the Magistracy nor of the military appear to have suppressed the spirit of dis •rder. and, though several committals have taken place, the gates of the prisons are scarcely closed on offenders when accounts of new offences arrive. The Parliamentary Commission which lately sat in Dublin, we understand, means to recommend that the Union shall be carried into complete effect by the removal of the commercial restrictions between the two countries nose in force, and equalising the duties.

It is reported that Mr. Freemantle is to be one of the Lords of the Treasury, and Mr. Henry Wynn. to fill a high diplomatic mission on the Continent. The Marquess of Buckingham, it is said, is to be elevated to the dignity of a Duke. Doyen, Dec. 17.—Sir Robert Wilson and Mr. [Ambles arrived here last nitht. with the intention of embarking this afternoon for Calais, in the Prince Leopold packet. A correspondent of the Dundee Advertiser states, " It is said that a certain clothier in Dunkeld has re ceived orders to provide three hundred suits of tartan, with bonnets and hose complete, for the purpose of clothing a body of sturdy Highlanders, as a guard for his most gracious Majesty King George IV. when he visits that most independent nobleman. John Duke of Atholl. As the lady who related this, to my know ledge, has considerable intercourse with Dunkeld, I have every reason to believe this information correct." A correspondent says, that the effects of the dis franchisement of the Borough of Grampound upon the circumstances of the vi-decant electors have become very apparent. Mr. David Varcoe. a tailor, who is at present Mayor, of that place. is now confined for debt, and his petition, as an insolvent debtor, is to be heard in London, on the 4th of January next. If some other of the Boroughs of Cornwall, which are not a whit behind Grampound in venality, were treated in a similar manner. a material alteration in the situation of those peewees called Freemen or electors, would seen be masifest.—(West-Beiton.) The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 26th alt. states, that the inhabitants of Melilla, one of the settlements on the coast of Africa, have seat to the Spanish Cortese most melancholy account of their situation, and of that of the prelims, requesting either that they might be succoured, or that the settlement might be aban doned, and themselves brought over to the Peninsula. Major Storey's company of Royal Artillery, in Portswonth garrison. is under orders to embark in the Pilot transport fur the Cape of Good Hope. The 4th Dragoon Guards are expected to embark next month for the East Indies. The officers belonging to the 6th Dragoon Guards, on leave of absence, are ordered to leave town to join their regiment, at Cork, forthwith. We hear that the mail coach from London to Man chester is to perform the journey in 20 hours ; cons& quently the mail from London will arrive In Maccles field at two o'clock, and in Manchester at four. This alteration is, we hear, likely to take place in the course of a week or two. Lighter coaches have been built for the purpose, and it is said, that the Poet office is to make some additional allowance for this extra speed.—(Liverpool Mercury.)

To remedy these ra dical defects, Mr. Brayshaw produced an address of his own composing, which he moved as an amend ment, and which was carried by a small majority. The difference, however, was lather about words than Ann sentiments. A number of resolutions were then brought forward, with time intention of promoting the Oren Northern Union of Radical Reform," which were submitted to the meeting, and carried unanintously.—(Lends Mercury.) From 40 to 50 persons met last Saturday night at the Noah's Ark public-bouse f in this town, to celebrate by'a public dinner, or supper, the birth-day of Mr. Catlike.

This was actually done. The note was again procured, and at the , segues' of his Friends immediately burnt —(Bnikinglianishire Chronicle.) About the time of the French revolution, one of the Methodist preachers stationed at Sheffield, was praying as follows :—" 0 Lord! hang together in accord our King and both houses of Parliament ;" when one of his flock lustily bawled out " Amen!" The parson bearing man shouted so heartily by this person, whom be knew to bp one of the most jacobinical of his flock, farther wen on.—' , Q Lord !• thou knowest I do not mean as that wicked fellow meaneth ; thou knowest I v i r t i e t i tir fect e ll. union . of . accor!l, with = r Hem several' persbas exclaimed. at the same time, " 0 Lord. any kind of a cord will do, if it be bat strong enough" On Wednesday last.
