" To present tits peace and happiness of the Pee p!, G em being endangered, orthodoxy teaches that they insight never to delegate a power which they cell esercise with conesaience themselves. 6 All the moneyed concerns (incept those imam aiately relatiug to public matters) can be regulated by the People es well (and with more safety to their piece and happiness) es by Government. " AU moneyed associations may be considered as potty oristocracies, unfriendly to equal tights and oatisnal liberty, and, when strengthened by Maisie. tiro fatooritisia, they bermee more formidable. In proportion es the capital of o moneyed instils. lion is increased, its branchrsestended,and its direction r e opeod from the body of the People, so also will be increased its power sad inclination to do esti sod to tyrannise: therefore, " Rebolred. That the following amendment be pro posed to the Constitution of she United States, 'is.: " ' Congress 'hall make no 1111/ to erect or in corporate any bank or other moneyed institu tion, ',rept within the district of Colombia, 111141 .eery hank or other moneyed institution which shall be estiblished by the authority of Congress, shell to. pother with its breeches, offices of discount and de posit, be confined to the district of Columbia' THE LAUNCH.

The ea:aline was sobbed of much of its brilliance by the state of the weather ; bet it lost none of its intrinsic grandeur.— The vessel was greeted, on its descent, by a national salute from the artillery, by patriotic airs from the hand el the Marine Corps, and by theebsets of thee. sands of Colombians, lathered together from every quarter of the Union.

The impression remaining on the mind of the Captain of the Ontario was, that could his Lordship weal ascertain this latter point, it was his intention to intercept these ships, end sane the property. So soon as this report was made to Com. motion. Bowtts, he proceeded round Cape Hero, in the Creole frigate. It was understood that then were two Commanders, 40 Liniteriants, and a considers. lite number of British seamen, serving lo Lord Coca. stAna's force.

Though stilted In its birth, so peel a crime could not he allowed to puss with inspeoity, and the Pievotal Court of Grenoble 'seedy elected itself to foltil the functions which had thus devolved open it. It alone was competent, in respect of the crime, since the Ls w of the ?LP h of September, 1815, for the esiohlishoweot of the Proems! Courts, gives them ea- elusively the power of jodgine the crime of rebel lion, end of attempts to provoke no overthrow of the Government. It stone was competent, in mpect of the peones, the accused being all either simple citlscos or soldiers on half-pay, since a provision of the same Law submits to the jurisdiction of these • Courts all soldiers not in IMMO service or on half pay. The Promote' Court proceeded with the st mo.t rapidity with this •Ifsir. Two days after :he prosecetions had commenced, it condemned to death three individuals, named 81041011, Drs. vet, and Devitt.

" If. found unfortunately a co-operator ton zealous ie the Count de Moest:ivant, then Piefeet of the de. partmert of the here, new Prefect of the Calvados, who had already on the day before, promelgated a Proclamstion, whirls directed that all the.. who, la tonstyafour hours, should not have carried to their respective Mayers, all the arms and ammunition, which in any mean► whatsoever they might have be come possessed of, should be considered as mom pikes in the sedition, sod be criminally pursued as such; and that all those should be regarded is the same situation, who knowing of soy place of dope. sit of arms or amesenition, should not instantly give Information of it, and that every porno convicted of divine refuge to the rebels, shoot(' be considered as an accomplice, and peei.lied criminally. The neat day, the same dale as tho order of the day above spoken of, Viscount Dunedin and the Count de hiontlivant promulgated, in concert, a Proclaim. lion in the following terms:— " 'Tao I,inotonsat•General comistavtding the 7th Military Division, and the 11 ) .efret of We Isere, wake known Is the inhshitssts of this departwoot, that a 'l'oley/T.ooe Dispatch his Woven them the follow * instructions:— " 8111 lia,rie o'clock I. the Evestiag.

To ra EDITOR or rot; STATESMAN. SIR,—It bad been well if ,our Correspondent, W. L. had produced some example in order to jos. illy his assertioo, that B. F. has "endeavoured to pervert the obvious meaning" of Sir CHARLES WoLstIAT'S letter. I am not aware of any such perversion, and I do not think any can be shown. The Worthy Baronet having of lam given hit sanction to the systematic slander to which Sir F. BURDETT hell for some time past been reposes!, it was natant enough that be should be de%iross of npitioiog the caste of so etlrsulditury a change in his public condect. Bat was the explanation he of fered, to pass without eseraistation ? It was " nofair," it seems. and " imbecile," to call opnn r Sir —HANLE.' far the evidence on which be ventures to FaAncis of " trifling sod inconsistency ;" of "obeli. dotting principle ;" of countenancing " enfoended atlatnnies,"" to afford the professing frivol& of M.jor CARTWRIGHT an mese for betray am! larrertin; him:" And we aro, of coarse, to credit rods ac cusations witbeat aucioiry, and in the tote of long experience ! Witb respect to Sir CHARLES WoIAICILET himself, whatever may be his claims to respect a, a waren , Gentleman, he has fairly brought his public ci•siduci before the bar of public criticism. Kid W. L. as serts that B. F. has detracted from the merits of Sir CMAILLU—Irene, does not appear ; unless we are trr eirderstand this as sawing to the length of his public career. On. this point, he tells us, that Sir Ceuta, " has been well known at least 20 yeses as a staunch Radical Reformer"—but to whom? To his neighbours and friends, end to some few indirl deals perhaps in different ports of the cowry ; but woo he known to any 6.4 of the People 20 miles from Welssliry-ball ? Had lie done any public so t before that to which B. F. refers ss his first ? I be. litre Sir CHA•I.II to be a very well-meaning sod a very uptight men, and nothing his fallen from it. F. which would les.l es to Illpflo4, that he thinks other. wise ; he has expressly ranked Sir CHARLES among " a certain class of avisguirkd politicians," end every one's experience will hellish examples of men being misguided, without prejudice to their inten tions, You too, Mr. EDITOR, are the subject of blame for not having inserted in your columns the letter of Sir Cnanuts Wor.secast before yen published the answer. I wish yea bad done sn, that the omission might not have been a ground far cavil ; bet this was rendered in a great degree ennecestary by the in. dewy with which that letter has been circulated.-1 bare myself seen it in the Black Dwarf, the Mae. chafer Observer, the Litcklield Mercury. and I understood it has also appeared at Coventry, Binning. ham, and some other places: so that we may pe lage, it hes already been welt read in the most pm pekoes parts of the country. flat whence sloes this 1 accusation proceed ? From Coventry. Is it from one of the electioneering supporters of Mr.Wocit.re I or is it :rem Mr. WooLts himself ? I requite, be. taste I obsess., by the Black Dwarf, of the Vies April, a eery of B. F.'s letter bad been sent to him for publicatiow ; sod that it was rejected . because, as Mr. WOOLED staNS, " 14 is by no moans eon elusive, and its evident attempt to pervert the fair moaning of the peewees, renders it unfit for publica tion." Ileedds,teo,"lltatSirCu A nt.ts is not an adage sist to be encountered by 8.F." So true it is thut ex tremes meet ! This might hams proceeded from the Arroayer-Gantam. himself, had he beets invested with the office of Censor. Is it necessary Ikon, that an argument should be absolutely conclusive before it can be adasittes! into the Black Dwarf? Was the letter of Sir CIIARCE WoLliii.i.ET conclusive? As to perversion, Mr. Woot.ta is too adroit with his pen not to bo able to turn it to the advantage of his client, if any such could be found: bet it strikes me that 1 he must have considered it dangerous, nay, extremely' dung ,to send amonot his readers a question as to the fallibility of the defamers of Sir F. BURDITT. It ems most prudent, as far as possible, to confine t h em t o one vi 4.,. of the subject. and therefore to d•- I ,14. e, that Sir CIIARLSS Wuxixt.ar was not to bed encountered by B F.
