Itienwardt, Director of the Affairs relative to Agriculture, Arts. and Sciences, was last month in the Government of Preang during • violent eruption of the of Coeneeng, and has communicated many important particulars re specting it. The first effects were perceived on the 'list of October. between 10 end 11, P.ll. when the amountsie, amidst violent shocks, which were felt at Treeettg, began to throw *phew the summit red het stones in immense quantities. and a great anew of lava. Ilappily the wind blowing from the meth-west, carried all these ittihmed bodies towards the uninhabited mountains, and the inhabited dis bids were spared. The eruption looted till Saturday at noon. Besides the principal crater at the summit of the mountain, its sides. at different heights. also emitted fire and smoke fur weevil days after the areptims. On the 28th of October, M. Itienwsrdt attempted lo ascend the mountain, which was very troublesome and clang , ea gement of its height and steep men and the heaps of loose and sharp stones, as well as t he beat of the ground, and the rolling down of Moues from the summit ; It became more difficult as they ascended higher. M. Rienwardt had left Trogong at day-break, and nearly reached the summit at two o'clock in the afternoon ; the barometer stood then' et 25.35 English inches. and the thermometer at 75 degrees Fahrenheit. He now hoped, with another effort, to leech the spot where the eruption took place, but was obliged to desist and to leave this dangerous place by the coming loose of a large mass of the upper beep of stones. The fieenoing-Goenlcrer is.pert of a chain of mountains, almost all situated is • ditection northeast to aeuth.west. The mountain of Agon, to the north-east is nearly of the same height the volcano, whi ch is near 3100 English feet above Trogong, and 5200 English feet above the level of the sea. _ Ila woven, MARCU 26.—The wishes of our beloved tjZeveraor.Gen•ral, of the whole Royal Family, and of the subjects dills two kingdoms, are fulfilled by the happy delivery of her Royal Highness the Duchess of (Ambridge, this morning et two o'clock, of • Prince.

PARIS, APRIL 3,—The assassin of M. de Kettle. bee, Ilenry.italph.Sand, died at blanheim in tho sliest of the 25th and 2Gth ult., of the several wounds which he bad inflicted upon hitscself. The lungs, which were pierced by the stabs, were in a state of snortificatioo, and it was therefore impossible to pro. loog the life of the murderer, to endeavour to obtain from him some confessions and information which his crime rendered necessary, and lbe interest of society demanded. Lord Dormer, a Peer of England, died in Paris on the Ist inst ; Miss Portman, his sister, sod Lord Clif. ford, his testamentary testator, will pay die last duties to the deceased.

The proceedings of last night in the Holmes of Per liament, do but confirm all we hare said on the sub ject of the connealos between the Governmeot and the Batik. Well may it be mistakenly conceived by many that this incorporated institution is identified with the country, or rather the State, and that the fall of one most poll down the other. So far from this is the real state of the case, that if the Govern ment or England were to say to that body of traders, " Geode's's, we have dorm all that we ought to have done, and more, to save you from the imcoe veniences and dilfscully your de►ire of profit brought you into ; we can no longer allow the whole nation to It lazed for year benefit ; you most in three or six months Macrae yourselves as yen can, and we ' must, io the mean time, be uttered of your ability to recur to the terms of you► Charter, or it will be re voked, end the Government will provide a circulating medium, not subject to the evils which yoot's has so long produced." That being saki and done, all would be made easy soon. One of the stones about the neck of England would be removed, and the Bank Directors and Bank Proprietors be placed where they ought in justice to be. This Establish meet, which in the first might have done all the ser •ice to commerce proposed by it, bat which, of late years, has inflicted so great an injury oo it, has been protected, fostered, and favoured as thoegh identified with the State itself. The laws have been broker is open for its profit—the proceedings of Parliament have been pat out of their coons in the most extraordinary manner, and a Bill precipitated through its various stages, in a few hours only, so as to give to Legisislioll a ro. maotic and ludicrous, rather than a grave and de. liberstivat air : and all ibis, not to sacs a district from famine—a town from the infection of typist's or plague ; bat to save to the Bank a few hundred thousand pounds in specie, issued in small sow, sad which the Bank Directors themselves "obtained , leave" to give in change for certain small notes of ancient dates, and in mama •f small warrants for interest on stack in the foods. The very name ditto thing is as offensive to the eye, as Its proceeding la re. pageant to reason. " THE Batt& Casts PATIMISTS' BILL", why, if it were called by its proper name, it would be Tbs Bank's woe Coale Paymoot Bill. Saab a trick in the loot.tet would be fatal to a bill of indict. ment for felony, and be thrown out of a Court of Justice: nay, such a misnomer in a petition for re moval of grimaces, though signed by half a million of msosfactorses in Manchester, Birmingham, Bris tol, or Sheffield, would las declared informal, sod, of coarse, that informality would prove fetal to its views. But then these petitioners, theogb we cannot in reality se his down in that bumble garb, nor are tbey obliged to style themselves such—thus Di- redors of the monetary transactions of the kingdom are rich oleo. They have of their own body talk ing partisans in the Bosse of Commons. They have, through the • ' nee of their paper-maker and • few clerks, to sign numbers and names, pet Advo. cater on the Benches of the Senate, to give efficacy to their naturally weak cause. They have brothers, cousins, and connexions in Parliament, who an either swell or lessen the size of a Minister's Meje rity : in short, as comptrollers of the monied interest, and magisterial dictators of the power of the Capital. ists io taansgieg loans, and circulating Eichequer and Navy Bills, &c. &c. &c. they are to be treated is a distinct way from all other sabj►cts whatever—they finally, is the bulk, constitute a kind of second Jo . 1111JA, for whom the sun itself is to stand still. flow long things are to remain so no man can tell. We own ourselves sickened at the course of them, and feel as fully convinced, as we are positive to declare, that nothing but a sentence of condemnation of the country on the whole system, can change it, end avert the rein which it portends.— . What deer the Mattis's of LANIDOMX, the eel, speaker in the House of Lords recommendatory of the measure, say, when another Peer (Earl Gaze) expresses a reliance on his rTinion as one of the Committee? lie rose and wished to state, 66 that he had not, beam it was not in his power so to do, pledged the Committee to any particular metier*. All that be meant to ray was, that theledid suit the Committee, a disposition to ramesealmiribieppli tenon of meant which appeared calculated to brin ing • wa►n to the ancient Onadird air eaW/---.' here is • round about phraseology that would do no credit to a thicken pleader et the bar of the Old Bailey. Will the Noble Malaria pledge his charac ter as a Senator, his honour as a Peer, his probity of one of the Committee, that the Bank is likely to pay their notes in cash ? Mach responsibility rests span this Nobleman for what he has done to carry this memorable Bill with the rapidity of an eagle's wing, into minis so high as to give pain to the anion eye to trace Its telocity.—We hope the Noble Lord will escape those remarks to which his oicestor was subjected on his coonskin with entails capitalists after the peace he made with America. As a speaker be sinks is ear fmtimalion. His longing, more resembles that of the !the? ors than the Orders of Rome. Bat the fall of oratory in our Senate of late is an utifavourable presage to liberty. Poets hate taken precedence of Orators. Poetry may, and ever did, (lowish under slavish institutions, bet ORATORY decays with the duties of FREE DOM. The pace of Stocks hsti siried but little for some days past. This morning they hong down their heads a little; bet the effect of what has hems ileum in Per. lisment with regard to the Bank we., as we before observed, anticipated ere the proceedings were known. This is one among the evils arising from greet, fre. quint, and hasty legislation. The cni•i.alist is set upoo speculation, and snakes a fortune rophliy, or fails unespectrdly, and pulls others in his The acquisition of vast sums in few hands, as inimical to commerce in general, as the possession of immence masses of land in the hands of a few individuals is injurious to the freedom of she country. The Ministerial Papers vaunt of the Improvement of the Revenue. because, say they, the Awl' quarter of 1818 'needed that of 1817, by 739,0004., whilst tint of this quarter 'Meteds the same its last per, that being 10,249,0001.4nel this 10,4112,0001. Now, supposing ell this to be fairly stated by tiger's end making en, is our condition better ? Are we en abled to forego a tax by this improsement ? Is our income surpassing our expenditure ? And, lastly. is trade flourishing, and are our workmen better paid earl provided for? If not, all is empty nothing. Vos el pre/crew nail. Our income is double what it was before the first Ameriran war : are we the tither for that? Mr. VAMSIITTART might be posed to as• aver these qu►stion*. The sister kingdom appears to move in an affee- ! 'innate m skis this. A similar Iti:1 oith sets lion to the Bank of Ireland passed the !fosse of Commons last night, and Heady part postL. It is very ritraordinery, but it is no less tree, that the Brussels Newspapers are sent to Cadiz to give the Spaniards au account of what the Court of Madrid is doing. These Pap►rs give the Spaniards the most favourable accounts of their own affairs. From the Ilenebergh Mail arrived last night, we; make the fellosine plinths, which contain all they possess of Keno's! interest : " STOCKNOLK, Mascot 16.—Greater 'edgily pre vails in t►e Naval Docks at Carlserona under the present Government, than has been the case for many years. Seven handfed workmen wets employ ed there last 'ear, and three ship of the line ■nd a frigate building. " FRANKFORT, MARcii 25.—The King of Wig- TRKBERG has invited all Ike mediatised Princes and Counts belonging to his dominions to send Deputies, with fall palm's, to Siatgard, in order to siusseiate an amicable arrangement tsitb the Royal Commission ers appointed for the purpose. It is hoped that ibis offer will be seceded to. " EMT FILIVILAND, MARCO( 18 —Since the in !reduction of the vaccine, we have a great macrame of the population, so that in several years the number of births have amended those of deaths by 1000 or more. The some is the case in all parts of Germany, in England, France. &c. Is the kiegdssm of llama ver, which hes 1,300,000 inhabitants, the elms of births are 15,000 lly ; In this proportion, the images. of the population of Germany may be esti. mated et 450,000 annually; and if this slumber con tinually rises, the population mast be doubled in 60 years or less. Unless the cultivation of the now so. cultivated land, and the increase of she produce of the cultivated by a third, should keep equal p.ce, Germany will soon be unable to keep its increased population, even in years when there is an average crop, to say nothing of years of failure, of which ■e may reckon one In sis or seven. It is to be hoped that the G sent will do every thing to emcee. rage agriculture, and prevent the evils which most otherwise ensue. " Hkstauaau, Mutat 26.—The English pack►t. boat Illeaofoy is a complete wreck, and bears sad marks of the drndiel storm it ezperienced ; masts, ' sails, cordage, every thing is torn away and destroy. ed.

This event is the mere melancho ly, as Captain Nasals was only 30 years old, and iu all respects a man of great merit, who leaves • wife and four prong children. This statement is signed by M.
