But this can never be accomplished by tumultu ous combinations ; however honestly intended.—Oentle-' men, there is no possible chance of any kind of reforms tion whilst these irregular courses are pursued, because of the strength they are sure to throw into the hands of a Government already too strong, from the present forma tion of the House of Commons, fur a Constitutional Ad ministration of our affairs. Those ill-advised proceed ings alarm the timid, and furnish a most happy pretext to corrupt time- to propagate alarms throughout the country,—alarms which have been too long the cer tain recruits, and the infallible resources, by which our public councils have been over and over again propped up, when they seemed to be completely at a stand, and without which they must have been contented at least to govern us by the ancient laws, and to have long ago considered in Parliament the subject of such reforms as the calm good sense of the country 'night have presented for consideration. It would not be fit for me to enter into particulars here; but this I believe I may say with oat impropriety on the subject of reform, that &sleeting. as I firmly dO, to Annual Parliaments and Universal Suffrage, or to any other species of eire-tion a hen claimed as a right, eseept that unquestionable right to the best government which impreseriptibly riles in the breasts of every community, whatever may be the real or sup posed history of any country; it will be well for re formers and for reformation, if the public sentiment and the opinion of Parliament shall be ready to go as far as I shall be ready to follow them. The tient-ea, Election is now at hand, and I wish the people may show that they are worthy of a Reform of Parliament, and of an extensive enlargement of the elective fran chise, by the honest use of what they have. In Scotland you can du nothing unless y ou can work a miracle by suddenly chancing the opinio . ns of the few that have the appointment of the Members to Parliament. To call them electors, in the popular sense of the wind, would he absurd. In England it is different; and defective as the right of election is. it might go a great way, if peo ple, in this great crisis of their country, would only condescend for once to be honest. lietillemen, I have trespassed on your time too long, but I rannot conclude without assuring you, that however I may be thought to have ne•-leased my country by so long an absence, I have ever been sincerely attached to it. 7 hough I appre ciate the Union of the I nited Kingdom as a great blessing to both, and wish prejudices of every description to he forgotten. yet I hope always to see Scotland continue to be separate aml independent, with her own religious establishment and her laws, customs, and manners. I am happy, however, to see the Trial by Jury, in civil eases, established in this land, an I to Simi it under the auspices of so old and so affectionate a friend. ft is not because the Trial by Jury is evablishett in Eng land that it deserved adoption and encouragement Item, bnt because of its own intrinsic excellence and wisdom; and I rejoice to witness the ability, the skill, and the prudence, with which the Lord ( hief Commissioner. and the Learned Judges, his associates, are bringing it to bear in the happiest and most useful manner, with ont at all disturbing, whilst it so essentially and so manifestly improves the ancient administration of jos tice. To reduce to writing, at an enormous expense, the most ordinary and fugitive transactions of common life only to fall asleep over them whets on paper or parch ment, instead of bringing witnesses face to face for their immediate determination, was an obvious imperfection, but which, like others of a long standing, could only be corrected by cautious but liberal experiments, sure in the end to be successful, when the benefits were practi cally felt. ((enamels, I must now take my leave of you, as no words can express the gratitude I feet to all of you. There are two generations of my family present; and I trust that when I can no longer remember this day, a pe riod which cannot be distant, they, and all who shall ever be dear ended from me. will hold it in prepetnel remembrance. [This speech was often interrupted by loud, continued cheerings; and his Lordship sat down amidst bursts of applause.] The (Imamate gave, "The Duke of York and the Army."—" The Duke of Clarence and the Nary."— " The Constitution at established at the Revolution." Gentlemen, it is not meant to be implied that there was no settled Constitution before that period. but that at or about that time new and valuable securities were ob tained for the protection of those liberties, which, in England at least, had been always claimed, and often acknowledges!, as the ancient and lawful inheritance of the people. A great number of patriotic toasts were drank, Inter mingled with several speeches from the lientlemen pre sent. The evening was spent with the utmost hilarity, and the company did not separate till a late hour. NEW SOVI'll WALlll.—The progress of the settlements in New South Wales and Van Dirman's Land has been so rapid, that they now possess, of their oleo _growth, all the necessaries of life, and are even enabled to wake exportation of a surplus produce. They have lately sent horses to Batavia, cattle and salted meat to the Isle of France, and flour to the Cape of flood Hope. Nor do these colonies less contribute to the wants 01 the blo!ber Country, which they supply with sperm, black oil, seal. skins, and wools of a quality not less inferior with the best Saxon and Spanish. The ship Surrey is on her way to England, freighted with these valuable articles. The exertions of the colonists bare been retarded by the duties imposed on their exports; but there is reason to hope these impediments will he removed, as a petitioa for that purpose has been transmitted to the Legislature br the Bovernor.—Total population of the territory 23,050 souls, being en increase in one year of nearly 6,090 inhabitants. couscit. RCM, OR CAMP lIIPEOCRI. • The Council and Indian Agent have held two seas rib with the Indians. The Pawnees, with whom the first was held, are very strong, moil able to bring into the field 2,000 warriors, and 700 fire-arms; they are all mounted on nudes, which they steal from the Spaniards; they appear friendly. These Indians are not more than 90 miles from as, and are in our camp every day. The regiment is healthy. RETRACT OP A MITTS* PROM RIO JANEIRO, DEC. to. COMMERCIAL. . Since my last date this market has not materially al tered. There has been a very large importation of wines from Portugal, and a great deal also from Catalonia ; but, as the previous stock was small, high prices were generally obtained on their arrival. Two cargoes of Catalonia which came in lately, brought 35 dollars per pipe; two have since appeared, for which it is probable not more than 40 will be had, as the dealers are rather disposed to bold off; but as it Is an article of great con sumption, it will find ready gale, and at the usnal prices of 85 or YU dollars per pipe. A few pipes should always be brought with wine. In oils and gin there is nothing doing, and no prospect of improvement ; better from France and Holland, and Dutch cheese, are always cur rent articles. American butter will not sell. Flour Is also ready sale, and for that made of new wheat ; there is yet a good deal of old on hand; but I do not think the price of flour will go beyond oor 10 dollars. Cod fish is much wanted ; soap and sperm similes are over abundant in supply. Our stocks of produce are rot large; cottons are in behk demand for England: sugars are plenty ; there is I:ttle demand for them ; coffee is rathet scarce ; La Plata bides are tolerably plenty, and without demand. _ ~ SPAIN. -...00.-- TWO NATIONAL JOINT TO Till •rlMt=ll PEOPIX. The corps of the Spinlsh Army, who declared them selves in the beginning of the year for the cause of their country, conceive themselves bound to expose to that country the motitei of their conduct, the steps they have hitherto taken, the sentiments by which they are ani mated, and the hopes which they thence conceive in favour of the nation of which they are the sons. It is not their intention to call to the recollection of that natidn the past glories which it derived from its virtues. History has handed them down to the present age, and the gpaniards of our days, however winch they differ from their fathers, delight in admiring the monuments which attested their heroism. The country of the Pelagios, the Alfunsos, the Fernan, Gonzales, the kids, was celebrated through the world. Its beautiful soil, the most fertile of Europe, corresponded to the grandenr of its herues. In arms, arts, legislation, in dustry, sciences, and literature, it had no cause to envy other nations, to the greatest pail of which it was the object of envy, a mirror, and a model. Invincible in war. generous and amiable in peace, the Spaniards were renowned for their spirit, for their intelligence, for the profundity of their genius, and the sentiments of honour which were so deeply rooted in their hearts. How comes it that this nation, once the first of En-1 rope, hoe, for three centuries, ranked in the class of su baltern and iasignificant States? How comes it that the nation which once pure sway over Italy, the Low Coun tries, the coast of Africa, the immense and wealthy pus. : sessions of America, began to decline from the very we- I meat in which it obtained such extensive dominion, such formidable power? How comes it that industry, the sciences, and the arts, did not make that progress among us which they did in foreign nations ? How Itae time very character of the Spaniards suffered so vi sible an alteration in the eyes of the observer, who examines the physiognomies of nations?—How happens it that a country, which in every respect ought to art so prominent a part in this world, presents nothing worthy of itself? _ _ Spaniards, the problem is easily solved. When na tions begin to he the absolute possessions of one man, they are buried. The desire to aggrandise the Prince occupies the place of sentiments of patriotism and glory. Seduction, the arts of intrigue. sordid machinations. im posture, treachery, and perfidy, are so many evil ge noises which hover round the throne of absolute and arbitiary Kings. Spain suffered more from these evils than any of the other nations since the time that Feidi-1 nand thi Fifth began to forge her chains. The Princes of the House of Austria vied with each other is raising' the edifice of the domination and despotism, which are so well known. From that time the people were reckon ed for nothing in politics. In vain the nation showed itself great and worthy of its name, when he who gave laws to Europe endeavour ed to enslave it by means of machinations and perfidy. The armies a hick carried terror to every other country,' were unable to stifle its generous voice. Not content with combating against external enemies. it endeavoured to ex terminate the internal enemies, who were still more ruinous, by means of a Government which afforded se eurity to civil liberty and to property. The Constitu tion received its sanction in front of the bayonets of the enemy ; these bayonets disappeared from its soil, and saw thn the termination of their power and their triamph. But what advantage did the Spanish people derive from so many sacrifices and so much valour? the King, who owed the most to his nation, made the first trial of Ms power in overturning it. The fathers of the country who erected it were treated as criminals and traitors. To love and desire a Government which might be more nsefill to Spain was high treason. Prisons and exile were tisk reward of those who deserved hest of their country. Hearts inflamed with their past glories were filled with terror, and to the sweet air of liberty, which gives life to States, succeeded the corrupted air of slavery, which carries with it civil death wherever it blows. _ _ No—never was any nation more abitrarily treated, and more insulted. Spain afforded then an example of suf fering which astonished Europe. Those who wished to hare it believed that its enthusiasm against France had been the effect of stiperstition, triumphed then over those who attributed it to more generous sentiments. How suddenly did the nation sink which had taken so sublime a flight? How did it allow the edifice which it had erected with so much labour and so much blood to be overturned ? Hew did it rash to the yoke, after all its sacrifices to shake it off? People of Spain, generous, valiant, and great ; people' called by your destiny to be the first on the face of the earth, unite yourselves to your children, and give those laws which will ronstitute your prosperty and greatness. Without laws there can be no States; without laws sanc tioned by representative bodies, there can be no civil liberty; the greatest good which a citizen can enjoy.— !Intone these virtues, the fruit of the intelligence and the experience of ages. Dive to the world this grand spectacle that it hopes for from the nation, which for 12 %wars past, has put all Europe in motion. Do not let it he said that apathy is your element, and that the irons of slavery are alone suited to you. Unite yourselves to your sons, who aspire only to the sublime honour of breaking them. Their arms awl their blood are yours, and hundreds of thousands of arms depend solely on your will. What du you hope for: What barriers are opposed to you? Who shall oppose the will of a whole peo2!e? Spanish Nation, if you do not turn so form ?site a crisis to account—if you do not appreciate as you ought the Aurora of felicity which already dawns on yon, do not sigh, do not complain. The ills that you suffer, you will d edly suffer. _ As Chief and Organ of the Army, ANTONIO feutitooa. Cadis! Cad's! Where is thy patriotism ? Where are the dvil virtues which distinguished thee?

The villagers were is readiness for an attack, which soon commenced; the conflict was desperate on both shies, and continue w for some time, until some of the Ribbontnen fell severely wounded. This put an end to the battle, and causal sudden retreat on the part of the lithbontnen. The/ have also committed some excesses in the neighbor hood of Dunmore, within the last three nights.
