It is certain that his commission is highly favourable to the cause of Venezuela, and that he afterwards goes to Buenos Ayres. 'PILL( Rank Stack 3 per Cent. 3 per Cent.

Monuments of a similar kind arc to be erected in honour of that General in the islands of Cephalonia, Zante, and Ithaca. They arc all raised by subscription, and at the expend of the natives, as a demonstration of their gratitude for the advantages they expected to derive from the new constitution which his Excel lency was to give them. The subscription was thus managed:--About JO months after the arrival of Sir Thomas Maitland in the lonian Islands, and be flre the constitution was even known to exist, Sir Thomas Maitland, on his return from a visit he had paid in England, made a tour in the respective islands, with the view to select the ten individuals who were to form his privy-council. Sir Thomas Maitland was preceded by some emissaries, who, no doubt, ovithcut the Lnowledge or sanction of his Excellency, presented to the principal inhabitants a project for erecting bests and statues in his honour, giving to understand, that signatures would be con sidered as a proof of their attachment to Great Bri tain, and of their respect fix the Lord High Com missioner, who, besides the power attached to his appointment, possessed the greatest political influ ence in his own iot,ntry. In consequence of these nt.tabers hastened to subst Jibe h.rge ,ammo:., and th;:s s;.cure the good-will of a person to whom the future destinies of their country were h i 4 a very singular coincidence, that when his _ Excellency had filled up tl'e appointments to the lu tredve posts in the lonian States, and nominated the Knights of the Order of St. George and St. Michael, it was found that few, if any, among the Ibhanders, but as had contributed towards the erection of his statues, busts, and triumphal a.clies, obtained any of tilos.: advantages tied distinc iWts..

Our account of the Oldham Inquest is continued to-day up to the close of Saturday evening. The Coroner, Mr. Ferrand, bas by his recent conduct forfeited his claim to the praise we bestowed upon him at first, by adopting a line of conduct di rectly opposite to that which then drew forth our approbation. He has since aced like the petulant, vulgar, advocate of the Manchester Nlagistrates and Yeomanry. 'rl:e proceedings since hive been totally unim portant, forastattch as the numerous witnesses ex amined, on:y confirmed the thrice-told story of the wanton cruelties committed on the disgraceful day from which the Inquest had its origin. To this observatlon, however, WB3 one exception in the evi. Bence of a Mr. Simmons, a Surgeon, who deposed that it was impossible that John Lees should have died of the wounds he received. On being cross examined, however, he confessed, that he had never seen the deceased either alive or dead, and modestly asserted his belief, that even under those circum. stances he was more competent to give a correct opinion thau either of those Medical amtlemen who had attended him during his illness and opened the body after Lees's death !! ! Mr. Ashworth, the Barrister, has been present, and amply ideved that in addition to a tremendous stock of gross impudence and total absence of •' those cour tesies which used to exist among gentlemen," he is possessed of that daring spirit which will prompt him to assert that as law which every body knows never was law ; and as the Coroner, either from a wish to he well with the deliaquents, or from a ti midity of his own knowledge, assents to his dictum in evcri tnitig ; we anticipate that this Inquest will not be productive of the good we had hoped—we arc happy, however, to remember that this is not OCT. 10.. •Ihe dernier resort for Justice, but that if the difer. eat Indictments for wilful murder should be evaded, there is yet abundant matter to ground indictments under Lord Ellenborough's Act for cutting and maiming, a conviction under which (unless an event were to Dike place which we dare nut contemplate the consequent* of) would, roam* a capital pu- Lishment. The Coroner has had the body taken up, in order that he might have the view of it required by law, as suggested by Mx. Harmer on a former day. A discussion between the Comer and Mr. Harmer, respecting the appointment of the latter, made such an impression in Court, that, in less than an hour and a half afterwards, nearly 200 inhabitants of Oldham signed a requisition to Mr. Harmer, to at tend the inquest on their behalf. It would have, been signed by many hundreds, but time would not allow. Mr. Harmer also produced a full authority from the parent: of the dedeceased on Thursday morning, a copy of which will be found in another part of our Paper. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday last. On Friday the King, beftre Mass, gave pri. vate audience to the Spanish Ambassador, and after wards took an airing in his carriage, and visited the Duchess-of Berry. The French Government, it is said, is occupied with the Reform of the Code of Criminal Instruction, so far as concerns the security of general liberty. Accounts from Madrid, of the 21st t.lt. state, that the sentences relative to the conspiracy of the Ex-General Porlier, approved by his Majesty, include 242 individuals. Several Officers of rank are sentenced, par cont unlace, to be shot in the back, and their property confiscated ; but they may be heard in their defcni•e, if they pre sent thetuselve:;. They will not avail themselves of this boon, for, as their doom is fixed, it would be fully, as exposing themselves to the malice of their enemies. Twenty other officers are sentenced to he imprisoned, some for two, and others for ten years. The number acquitted amounts to I id, nearly all officers, among whom are three Colonels and thr,.e Lieutenant Colonels. The numbers who died in the Isle of Leon, on the Sth ult. were 40, on the 9th 3.'2, on the 10th 40, and on the II th 40. The number of the sick is increased by distress. Nothing is decided with respect to the expedition. It must no doubt be postponed. On the 12th of last month thirty-one persons died of the fever at Cadiz. Private intelligence mentions, that a matter is negociating regarding the Independent Govern. mcnt of South America, Ferdinand declaring that the Government of .the United States must agree not to recognize any of the Insurgent Govern. ments,before he will ratify the cession of the Floridas. This decision, it is said, was forwarded to Washing ton by Mr. Forsyth, in the dispatches by the Hornet sloop of war. It is probable the American Govern• ment will, in the end, take the Floridas, and acknowledge the independence of the Spanish Colo nies.—The French Five per Cents on Saturday were 691. 95c. Wednesday a Mail arrived from Hamburg!), with Papers to the 29th ult. They bring intelligence of the Ratification of the Convention between Sweden and Denmark by the Plenipotentiaries of the re spective Courts. Accounts from Stockholm men tion, that his Swedish Majesty and his son Prince Oscar have, during their tour through Sweden, been every where received with enthusiasm. At Fulsen they descended into the great mine, where the Royal Hall, as it is called, o7e hundred fathoms under ground, was illuminated with 1000 was tapers. High encomiums are passed on the affa bility and deportment of the Kinpemr of Russia at Abo, on his return from Tornea. The Prince Re gent has had the military establi►hment in Hanover diminished 16 battalions, which is a considerabla saving. a THE NATIONAL REGISTER. IKON LAST NIGHTS GAZETTE. BANKRUPTS. B.
