"To his Excellency, Sir Peregrine Maitland, COW swishy of the Province of Upper Canada. m a y it please your Excellency.--The Legislative Conseil and Home of Assembly of Upper Canada, in provincial Parliament assembled, have agreed upon an address to his Maoasry on the subject of our just claims on the Province of Lower Canada, for our proportion of duties collected at the Port of Quebec, which have, from causes not within our controul, been withheld from us, to the manifest injury of his Ma tures subjects in Upper Canada. "W e , therefore, intreat that your Excellency will be graciously pleased to transmit their address to his ilansres principal Secretary of State, to be laid at the foot of the Throne. Legislative council-Chamber, April 13." HALIIAK, MAT I.—We received by the Inspector, Newfoundland papers. One of them states, that ti! etkooner Matchless, Vint, which arrived on Saturday fees Halifax, has been seised by an officer of his bla rsty's Custom% on suspicion of her cargo being Ame rican property. Paris papers to the Sth instant have arrived, without litiaging intelligence of any general interest. The Mates on the finance law proceed in the Deputies, and de examination of witnesses in the Chamber of Peers, without an immediate prospect of either being brought teseonclusion. An altercation, carried on with great warmth, took place in the Chamber of Deputies, on Weeiaesdav, between several of the Liberaux and the Keeper 6f the Seals, in consequence of the latter having 4arged the Orators of the former party with professing anarchical principles, and endeavouring to carry them into effect. M. de Serre entered into some explanation of the expression he had used, and tranquillity was restored, though with considerable difficulty. The following are extracts PARIS, Juva 7.-It is said that the Queen of Spain intends to proceed immediately on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. The Count de Boltz, the Prussian Minister in France, set out on Monday last for Berlin. uaro:► Vincent is now placed at the Court of France as. Ambassador Extraordinary of the Emperor of Austria. Fire per Cents.—Wednesday, 86 f. 90 c.; Deferred Steep, 931. By an article from Vienna we learn that the greatest activity was employed in fortifying Constantinople.— limns this it is evident that the Greek insurrection is pining ground, and that the savage methods which the Tacks hive pursued to check it have tended only to accelerate its progress.—The horrors excited among the Greeks by the atrocious murder of the Patriarch at Constantinople, are beyond description. It appears that after his strangulation, a hand of infamous wretches was ordered to cut the rope, and to drag the body, tied by 0 the feet, to the arsenal, where the executioner threw it into the Bosphorons. The venerable and universally respected Divine was nearly till years of age. The Arch bishop of Patrasso has published an Allocution to the Greeks, in which he exhorts them to arise and deliver Greece from the horrible oppression under which it at present groans. In conclusion he say :—" Soldiers of the Cross! it is the cause of Leaven itself that you are railed on to defend. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, be blessed and absolved' from all your sins."—This exhortation altogether is certainly as much distinguished for its fanaticism as for its patriotic devotion; but we nevertheless think it cal culated to produce considerable effect upon the minds of the people to whom it is addressed ; and, indeed, in such a quarrel, arising upon that soil to which every man of liberal education in Europe has directed his ear hest and warmest feelings of admiration, from which we ham derived our purest lessons of patriotism and virtue, 'rho can divest his mind of deep and almost selfish aniety.—The Greek fleet, it is again stated, has actually Passed the Dardanelles.—The Paella of the Mores had complained to the Government of the lonian Isles of mi litary supplies being obtained from them for Greek in surgents, and threatened measures of retaliation. An article from Bucharest, of the Ist ult. says, that a Turk ish army had crossed the Danube, and was marching in the direction of Bucharest and Tergovist. In another article from Vienna, it is announced, that besides the letter to Baron Frimont,'of which we gave a copy in our last, his Imperal Majesty bad addressed see to Prince Metternich for framing, and another to Ceitnt Stadion for facilitating the recent operations ligannt the disturbers of the domestic repose and peace. fal relations of states. Respecting one of the unhappy cowries whose affairs have bean settled by these opera tion, some idea may be formed from the language of " Giornale dills Des Salk," the only newspaper liTA' permitted to be ptinted, since the entrance of the Austrian Army into Naples. The following extract U from that paper of the 12th of May. 64 In extraordi nary eases o f d anger to a state , eittraor dinary measures are necessary ; it is then fit that the laws should, as it were, lie dormant, in order to reasseme their primitive vigour in happier times. We might bring forward in support of this argument, several ex amples from the best European Governments, did not the fact appear self-evident to the most shallow under standing. " Rulers in such a case should forget all private affec tions—all natural inclinations to kindness; what is vir tue in a private individual, becomes a heinous offence in him who is at the bead of public affairs. Men of ordinary capacities, confounding these two characters, form an unfair judgment of men in power. Augustus appeared cruel in the beginning of his reign, vet to him was Rome indebted for her happiness; and whilst his heart seemed insensible to the appeals of pity, he past the night in anguish by the side of his consort, from the necessity of punishing the most formidable of conspirators. " A high personage returns amongst us, an object but too frequently exposed to the vicissitudes of fortune, but one whom Europe always considered Jaetent et teaacem propositi virum nom driest ardor pram Mentions, mime await eolith,. His heart shrinks from every kind of rigour, but the Statesman lives for society, which exacts at his hands the most painful sacrifices." The Madrid papers which arrived last night to the 213th ult. contains the following articles MADRID, May 26.—The catastrophe of Vienna has not frightened the forgers of proclamations, for others are in circulation more absurd, if possible, than those of that unfortunate individual. We have one before us dated the month of April, the second year of our cap tivity, which is a compound of folly and wickedness, which can have issued only from a head quite turned by fanaticism. The Circular sent on the 3.1 by the Minister of Orace and Justice to the Prelates of the kingdom, begins al ready to produce an excellent effect. The Bishop of Malaga published o■ the 15th a pastoral letter, in which we find none of the studied and artful circumlocutions, by which writings of this kind generally elude the exe cution of superior orders, while affecting to observe them. The Bishop of 51alaga does not act thus : for he says, his clergy in public and private, in general and in particular, instruct all in the duty of contributing each his share to the observance of the Constitution, and obedience to the Magistrates. MAnatn, MAT 27.—The fortes continued to discuss the various Articles of the Law on the Army and on the Land Tax. NOrELDO, MAT 22.—Our indefatigable militia man, Novarro, having taken two of the best friends of Jaime Alfonso, this banditto has sworn that he will murder all the sons and inhabitants of this city who may fall into his hands. Several families who were going to take the baths at Archena and Fortuna, have desisted from their journey, and were all in the greatest conster nation." BANCELONA, MAT 1 B.—The captain wt bh Majesty's ship El Ouerrero has written to the Captain of this Port the following nate, dated Port Mahon, the 15th Instant: Su-1 send yon the annexed dispatch, requesting you to forward it to Court as soon as possible, in order to inform his Majesty, that the Algerine Corsairs are dismantled in their dock, and that the Dey has declared to the Rear-Admiral of the Dutch squadron, which has just anchored in this port on its return from Algiers, that he should not commit any hostility against the other Powers, unless they should first molest his flag." The present recess of Parliament, and the prospect of its speedy prorogation, naturally lead as to look back to the expectations that were entertained of it at the commencement of the Session, and to consider bow far these expectations have been fulfilled. Re specting such motions as related to a Reform in Par liament, or to an inquiry into the transactions at Man chester, or to any other subject that involved the leading principles of the existing system of adminis tration, neither we, nor any of our readers, were so sanguine as to suppose that they would meet with the success to which they were entitled. We indulged in no stronger hope, so far as immediate benefit was im plied, in the repeated attempts of Mr. Waits and other friendsof public economy to effect retrenchment in the ea- lions branches of national ea penditure ; but, reflecting on the confessed embarrassment of the national finances, and on the notorious distresses of the manufacturing and agricultural classes, on whom the Exchequer must depend for its supplies, we certainly did expect that some effectual means would have been proposed by Ministers themselves, for relieving the avowed deprea. lion and infusing some activity and vigour into those important branches of the body politic. To satisfy the clamours of the merchants, the mannfactursrs, and the farmers, Committees were appointed at an early period of the Session, to enquire into the grounds of their complaints; and long Reports, we learn, are pre paring 'or prepared upon the several subjects ; but here the business rests. Not a single remedy is sug gested, not a single measure introduced, to alleviate distresses too glaring to be denied ; and Parliament is about to be prorogued, and leave the sufferers, as it found them, to the exercise of patience, and tbe con templation of the favourable influences of accident and time. The Gazette of to-morrow will contain Ms Majesty's Proclamation, announcing, that the splendid ceremony of the Coronation will take place on Thursday, the 19th of July. The Proclamation is already printed The King returned to London from Windsor on Friday. Yesterday Earl Talbot, the Lord Lieutenant of Ire land, had an audience of his Majesty. On Saturday the Neapolitan Minister transapted business at the Foreign Olke. At lb, departure of the mail from Deal on Friday evening, the Asia, Balderston, from China, was off the Settle Foreland, working into the Downs. ~r~r SOUTH AMERIC4N INDEPENDENCE. Odr tinders no doubt retThirltee that about three years back a regiment was raised and equipped by Cousmah UsLaa, for the service of the Patriot cause in South America. For a considerable time past serious appre hensions have been entertained respecting the fate of that gallant officer, as repeated reports stated that he had been taken prisoner and shot by order of General Morillo. The following letter, just received by a gen tleman in London, will Five some idea of the treatment the Colonel received while in the hands of the Royalists. Dealt FRIEND,-1 arrived on the •25th at bead quar ters after an imprisonment of thirteen months. I was dispatched by General Bolivar to take the command of the Irish Legion which had landed at Margaretta. Af ter travelling six days I arrived at Cuniana, where I en gaged a boat belonging to the Indians, and embarked with three servants. While on our passage we were in tercepted by a large gun boat, belonging to the Royal ists, with forty men on board well armed, who threaten ed us with instant destruction if we made the least re sistance. As soon as I was on board they stripped me of every article of clothing, put use in irons, and chained me to the deck, where I lay fur twenty-four hours et posed to the horning sun, without a rig to cover me . When we landed I was marched through the country like a slave ; my hands tied behind me, and a piece of *ld rug thrown round me. After a most tedious and harrassing march, we arrived at the Carraccas, where I remained in prison four months. I was then taken be fore General 3lorillo, who wished me to enter the ser vice of Spain, and offered me the command of a regiment of cavalry, which I declined. I told him " I was a man of honour, and would sooner die than be guilty of trea chery to the cause I had ',pooled." In consequence of my refusal I was tried bv a Court Martial on the charge (which originated from some deserters, that I had en gaged all the troops which came from England), and condemned to be shot. Nothing on earth saved me from execution but the good fortune of being a free mason. I was put in irons; and orders were issued for no one to hold communication with me under pain of severe punishment. In this situation I remained for eight months, when I was exchanged in consequence of of the armistice, after an imprisonment of thirteen months and five days. At present I cannot give you any information respecting my men, not having joined them. Poor Ilumphrevs is dead, and tall is captain of a troop. Every thing h going on well, we have a fine army well clothed and fed. (live my respects to all friends. Youes,truly, San Joseph, Jac 2s, 1821. J011:4 - USLAt. Tna ORANGE Sarres.—The Dublin papers received this morning, contain a copy of the appointment of his Royal Highness the Duke of I'..rlc, to the office of Wand Master of the Loyal Orange Institution. From the tendency which that association has bad in Ireland to exasperate the different sects of religionists against each other, this appointment has occasioned there, very serious concern.

On Thursday, one of the most respectable meetings ever known at Liverpool, Ira% held at the Town Hall, on the subject of the proposed scheme of erecting inclosed warehouses at the docks, for Bonded goods. Besolutiosi in opposition to the scheme were unanimously passed, from an opinion that if it were carried into effect, it would involve in ruin the warehouse property of the town, estimated to amount to the rake of 2,000,00 w.— A memorial, grounded on these resolutions, was then agreed to he addressed to the Commissioners of his Ma jesty's Treasury.

The frequent con ferences of Count de Stsckelberg since his arrival in Paris with the Duke of Richelieu, M.

Wooler, Edmonds, and 3laddocks arrived here by the Crown Prince, in the custody of Gibbon, the Lord Chief Justice's tipstaff, and were lodged in our County Gaol, pursuant to their respective sentences.
