He had seen his country driven to rebe lli on by opprceion ; and he would say, even if they . were the lag words he should ever utter, that if ever their were • justifiable rebelles:l, the rebellion of leer was so. He had before stated his ese vittian that every cinema who suffered in that rebellion was a ma rtyr, and that the Government who drove the people of Ireland to the: rebenton, ought to have suffered as traitors fur so doing. When that rebellion broke nut, he (Mr. Hutchinson) joined heartily in putting it down ; but at the same time he reprobated the cruel spirit of the Government, that hid' made ore hundred rebels when there would have been only one. When the French breed in Ireland, for the purpose of introducing their system into be t hat emote/ w as equally ready to oppose them. Ile believed . t e e Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. ISkohlburn) was not only eiskiag the peace of Ireland, but was doing all he could to cause a rebellion in Ireland. Yet Ireland, we were told, was still going on in prosperity. for so the country was intermed by the S pee ch of his Majesty , while h is M a j est y' s Ministers could come w r ested and nppose the feelings of the whole population of Ire land, in order to gratify a faction. To gratify them, they would put down this Association 104 insult • whole people. He would beg of the Gentlemen opposite to pause before B rela nd.eed too tar. From many accounts he had received frorn he knew that there were more to be apprehended there than had long been, for never lead any body so completely carried with them the feel ings of t ee people of Ireland as the Catholic Association, and never was there greater confidence placed in any man than was e l a ted in hie friend Mr. O'Connell—he was proud to call hie his friend. The Government of Ireland had never been so anxious to 'preserve the peace of the country as the Association bee been. So far from giving his vote that the House should now go into a Committee on this Bill, it was his in. tention to more that it be considered in a Committee this day six me nthe He did not thick that any ease had been made out that would juntity the House in going into • Committee. Ile begged snow of the Honourable Me mbers for havin g said so much, but h e begged pardon of his country for not having said much more. He cotildfor a day and night continue to advocate the cause, to sweet which he would readily sacrifice his life. 31r. PLLINIKETT begged to call back the attention of the House to the question under consideration, and from which his Honourable Friend (Mr. Ilutchiesoa) had so widely departed, in taking so wide a range, as to have gone back even into the History ut Ireland at sonic length. That lion. Member conceived that no race had been made Out ; the House had been of opinion that a case had been made out; and there he (Mr. P.) was satisfied to let the teeter rest. lie wished, however, to say a few words relative to the enotiou of the Hon. Member for Montrose ; and he would observe that he was as anxious as that lion. Member, or any other person could be, to prevent the admission-of any member of any unlawful society into office under Government. He was, however, per fectly saudied that the mode proposed by the lion. Member was not one cakulated to produce the desired ends, or one that ought to be resorted to. The mode proposed was to administer an oath, and the method was as unexampled one. The person to be admitted into other must thus first swear that he is nut a member of any illegal warty, and then lie must swear to the law, for he mast know whet the law on the subject is. lie (Mr. Plunkett) had never heard of compelling a party before entering into office to ' , seer to a point of law. Again, • society became illegal in cense queate of the conduct of a portion of its members, and she law provided that an individual should not be answer. able for that of which he had no knowledge. The Honourable Member would then make a person swear to a point of law, and a point of law of which he might not be cognizable. He (31r. Pledge) had every confidence in his Majesty's Ministers, and he hoped and believed that they would not nominate any person to office who was a member of any illegal society. Mr. DEN3IAN said, that it was necessary to give Ireland • proof that the measure was intended to be an impartial measure. Ills .Majesty's Ministers should give decisive evidence, that the Bill was not intended to oppress any particular party, sect, or faith, especially the faith of the majority of the people of Ireland. Mr. Secretary PEEL thought that, as a matter of policy as well as of justice, Honourable Gentlemen should not condemn any Bill' brought before the House, without having taken the trouble of trading it. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman who had lag spoken (Mr. Denman) attacked the Bill with the most vita.' perauve language, and yet he had furnished detisive evidence that be • had nut aken the trouble of reading it. He had ob jected to a clause in the second page of the Bill, which lie thought highly objectionable, and when, at the suggestion of an Honourable Friend, he turned from the second to the third poet, he confesses— e Yes, indeed, that meets my objection." ( }tear, heir.) He (Mr. Peal) should only sey, that that Hon. Gentleman, (himself • Learned Judge, might have recollected, that before he dm:emu:el a prisoere, he was in justice bound to hear his defence. He did rot understand his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Plunkett) to have censured the Hon. Member for Cork (Mr. C. H. Hutchin. son), for introducing any discussion. though ever so far beyond the question before the House. The Hon. Member complained that les Majesty's Ministers refused to enter into the discussion of the general principle of the Bill ; but after five nights discussion, during Which every speaker at the opposite side of the House was answered by a Member from his (11r. Peel's) side of the House, he did not think that Ministers ought to be censured for confluing themselves to the distinct proposition of the lion.elember for elon. wee. lie thought by so doing, el inisters only consulted decorum and the convenience of theHonee. As to the assertion of the Hon. Mem ber for Cork, that the arguments at his (Mr. Peel's) side of the House bed been refuted, he should not now apply himself to it: it was not for Hon. Members at his side of the Home to criticise their own speeches. (Hear.) He should not now enter upon the sub ject of the rebellion in 1798, although this might be very important. Without imitating the Honourable Gentleman's vehemence, he *mild now apply himself to some other parts of his argument. e Iloaoorable .letnber had talked of terrifying and shaming the Government; and if be could not do this, he was to do some thing else. Now, without the Honourable elember's violence of manna, but with equal firmness of mind, be (Mr. Peel) would say, that no arraignment of his motive. a. • public man—no me- Wee or aspersions, should terrify or frighten him, or induce him to swerve from that duty which he owed his Sovereign as a servant of the Crown, and the oats to as a servant of the public. Tee Honourable Member had alluded to the House in the sane terms: he talked of corrupt majorities • and, with instrue. tee consistency, in about two sentences a fterwards, he said, 1 rely upon the enlightened wisdom of this House, to remove the disebilities under which the Catholics labour. How could the Hon. Member reconcile a reliance upon the enlightened wisdom of the House, with majorities who were induced from corrupt motives to pee penal Pews insulting to the Catholics P The lion. Gentlemen must base mistaken the motives of lion. Members at his (Mr. Peel's side of the House. No man could seriously believe that majorities of the House could be influenced by corrupt motives. A defence from such an aspersion would only be an insult to the Home, and if he endeavoured to defend it, he should only las a stain on himself. The real question before the House was confined to the distinct clause prepueed by the lion. elember for Monica*, (Mr. Hume) and the futility of that clause had been so ably es. Peed by his Right Hon. and Learned Friend, that he did not think it necessary to waste many observations on the point. Any person eelonging to an illegal Association, and bound by a mye terieue engagement, wee liable to transportation. All political eracetatices taking any oath were illegal. Supposing any indi sidual looking for office, who was • Member of an illegal sedety, by being a member of such Society he was liable to trans. oration ? What reliance could be placed on a person already 'abject to transportation fur a breach of the law, that in order to ~ get ~..fice he might rot also cOnmit perjury, which would only subject Lute to the woe punishment ? Supposing that the individual does tee belong to • Secret Society, but to an Orange Lodge; in this cue tie should have no difficulty in saying, that it would be the duty of his Majesty's Government to remove such an individual from office. lie objected to the clause on this principle, and net ice the repose of screening any . individuals. Indeed the Hon. Member s proposal was so objectionable on principle, that he trusted to his own good sense to withdraw it. Mr. HUTCHINSON explained. He had used the words ter. nfying and shaming, only in a Parliamentary sense. (Hear, hear, antilaughter.) Ha said, tbat if they pursued those measures, so dangerous, in his mind, to the tranquillity of Ireland, he hoped the reprobation of the country would tall upon them. lie repeated this, he still hoped it. He had alluded to the silenee of the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite, because he considered that every leetenent they used, were drawn from under :heir feet. In con. 1: " 30 : he dui not conceive that he ought to withdraw or qualify thieg he had said. Led ALTHORP side, his Hon. Friend (Mr. Hutchinson) had used the word terrify—eenainly • strung word—in relation to the d .algruus effect which the proposed ineseure should produce. He did . not mean t o throw any aspersion on the firmness of the Right don. Gentlemen opposite. Should they propose measures, how. trer, which tended to produce rebellion and confusion, their eisdom should be impeached. (Hear, hear, from the Ministerial benches.) Ile hoped the good seese of the Catholics would prevent thew from resorting to force, whatever should be their feelings. He 'a , Iliad of this discussion, as it ha 1 induced Ministers, at length, to State that they would not keep under them persons concerned in "'teal emaciation. of any description. Ministers had been con ey appealed to On this subject, but the principle had never acted upon by them. The motioa of his Hon. Friend had, 14 length induced the Ministers to COWS formed, and declare their ' 4411140 GL He Loped this declaration would et length put down those Illegal societies in Ireland. ( liesr, hear.) Whether his Hon. entrel should withdraw his motion, or press it to a division, he was rwirtreed that by bringing it forward he had produced the best feneible effect. e e R. WILSON said, his Honourable Friend had been charged !eh calling the majorities in that House corrupt. Ills Honourable t e nend could never have ineaut to say the Memberswere purchased. au was of course impossible ; bet from the way that House was :ensteuted it was equally impossible that Honourable elembers 'wind give votes altogether lode) indent. In common and public le:lance, therefore, the House was said to be corrupt. His Hon ' e Gallant Friend (Mr. Hutcherson) had referred to former ?""eds, and appealed to bins (Sir Robert Wilson) to bear .I "nhrel to the erueleet and the horrors of duet days. the wimhto the Bill of such ex.

When he remembered those tamed his blood boiled : when he thought of the blood which had been shed—when he remembered the rebels, with feeble fight, attempting to avenge themselves upon their per eeutors, whilst some Irishmen, who were a diagrAce to that coutrry, were the abettors of cruelty and persecution. His Ilonoutadle and Gallant Friend did not mean to apply the word " terrify" to any statesinen personally. His Honourable Friend had too much respect for the character of an English Gentleman, he applied the word" terrify" to the mea4um of certain stets*. nen, who delayed making reparaiinn for wrongs.—lf they acted in a manner which was likely to produce a separation between the two countries, if they waited until ltance, and Spain, and Russia took oc c a s i on t o come forward, saying, we shall make coannon cause with Ireland— if Ministers waited for this,—if they proposed measures that would destroy the tranquillity of the country, and involve one part of the empire in a civil and religious war, which another part should be burthened with taxes to support,—if Ministers did all this and were not terrified at the consequences, he (Sir R. Wilson) did nut envy the courige of such Ministers. Yet there was still time, and he hoped th:re would soon be an opportunity, to heal the wrongs of distracted Ireland. Let Ministers do what is right, and reasonable, and honest,-and let them resist what is unlawful, and this country should be able to defend itself— " Come the three corners of the world in arms." Mr. B. CLARKE spoke from under the gallery, and was inau dible far some minutes. We understood the Honourable Member to say, that he could not give a silent vote when he heard rebellion advocated at the other side of the House. t No, no, mingled with cries of Hear, hear.) The Honourable Member for Cork had talked of corrupt majorities at his (Mr. B. Clarke's) side of the House ; he would throw back to is stigma, and say, that this was no time for taking the sense of the House on this or any other ques tion, so near the eve of a general election. Cries of " Quostiun" now became general, the gallery was cleared ; hut the clause proposed to be introduced into the Bill by Mr. Home was negatived without a division. The SPEAKER then left the Chair, and the House resolved itself into a Committee on the BIM The Bill was then gone through clause by clause. Mr. GOVLBURN moved the clause— " That every Society, Committee, or other body of persons now established, or to be hereafter established in Ireland, assuming, or -by any means on contrivance exercising, the power of acting for the purpose of procuring the redress of grievances in Church or State. or the alterations of any matters by law established in Church or State,the members, or any numbered members whereof shall renew or continue the meetings or proceedings of such Society, Corn. mitten, or other body of persons, &c. &c. shall be deemed an un- . lawful combination and confederacy, and the meetings thereo f unlawful assemblies." Mr. SPRING RICE wished the reason to be understood why he and the Gentlemen at his side abstained from opposing the Bill in Committee. He considered the Bill altogether so objectionable. that it was his impression no suggestions or modifications proposed by them could Tender it leas obnoxious. Notwithstanding this, and the then state of the House. he would reserve to himself the right of protesting against the adoption 41' the measure. The clause was then agreed to. Mr. BROODEN then brought up the Report and reported progress, and obtained leave to sit - tin on Thursday next. V,lir 1.1: , 0,40# VrefLS. THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANK. 1 To-morrow reening, THURSDAY.

He would Like the sense of the House upon it. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the House divided— Ayes - - SO iNoes - 9 THEATRE ROYAL, ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE, Greeks, extracted from that veracious journal, the Orients' Spectutor. Unhappily for the Turkish scribe, he cannot pretend that either external misfortunes or internal dissen sions at this period endanger the indlientlence of the Greeks; but as it is his province to do them injury, he rails against then] for deposing the Arclibhhop of Naxos, whom they bad detected secretly treating with the Car-- TAN PACIre for the submission of the island. This base Prelate is now a prisoner at Napoli di Romania, where be is allowed 250 piastres monthly for his support. Another ground of abuse is the removal of .the inhabitants of the isle of Cason. The Oriental Spectator would have pre ferred that they should have remained, and shared the fate of Selo and Ipsara. It seems, however, that the Turks are not absolutely without gaining some successes. Parties of Greeks land occasionally on the coast of Asia Mlnor, and carry off the cattle in the neighbourhood. In ehe of these adventures at Chesme, a party was attacked by a guard of Arnouts, and " two Greeks were taken, just as they had reached the beach ; one even threw himself into the sea, to overtake the Mistic. which had stood out to sea from the shore. They were immediately beheaded, and their heads sent to Scio." The part which his MAI ESI v's Ministers are now taking in favour of the independence of Brazil, will authorise them to speak on one question to that new Stet; with a voice not to be disregarded. We have no doubt, there fore, that the opportunity will not overlooked, to pro cure from the Brazilian Government en absolute and un qualified renunciation of the Slave Trade. ,Ifiraz:l is the only State on the American Continent in which that odious traffic is now tolerated, and the position in which England stands, between the mother country' and her late colony, must induce the latter at once to concede the point, on the requisition of the British Government. The attain ment of this important object would have been.a work of great difficulty with Portugal, but Brazil must yield it on the moment it is asked, under the circumstances in which she is actually situated with regard to this country. Majority - - 41 The Report was accor dingly received. Mr. BERRIES begged leave to state due the Chancellor of the Exchequer would postpone his statement till Monday. Lord PALMERSTON gave notice that he would submit the Army Estimates to the consideration of the House on Friday. Mr. F. BUXTON moved for copies of sundry papers con nected with the insurrections in Demerara, Barbadoes, &c.— Ordered. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Twelve o'Clock. The proceedings in Parliament last night were heightened in effect by an unuirnally violent speech from Mr. HurettiNsoN. On the motion having been made, that the Bill for Suppressing the Irish Societies should be com mitted, Mr. Hesse, somewhat irregularly, proposed that it should be an instruction to the Committee to introduce a clause, requiring all officers of Government to swear that they do not belong to an, Society of an unlawful character. It was explained to the Honourable Gantleman, that by the course he was taking he would only direct the Com mittee to do that which they could do without the order, if they pleased, and which they could not be compelled to do with the order, if they did not please: but he persisted. It was satisfactorily shown by Mr. PELL, that such an en actment would be not simply inoperative, but actively pernicious, as giving to each individual a power of de fining for hi.tself the limits of the law. It was on this question that Mr. HE TCIIINEON had the indiscretion to give utterance to language too much in accordance with the spirit of the Association he was defending. It is a charge against the Catholics that their conduct tends directly to the subversion of public order ; and their ad vocates justify them by contending, that they ought to set the authority of Government at defiance. Is this the most convincing mode of proving thawhe Catholics are as loyal and peaceful as they asszrt ? Amendment of Mr. Hues was negatived without a division, the House went into Committee on the Bill, and the Chairman having reported progress, obtained leave to sit again to morrow. • STRAND.

There is manifestly a large majority in favour of the pro ject (haw can it be otherwise in a Chamber so composed ?) but the emigrants are much dissatisfied on account of the insufficiency of the sum allotted to them. It is in vain the Ministers object that the indemnity is already as heavy as France can well bear. " You have acknowledged," the emigrants reply, " that we have a right to a full and absolute indemnity: why, then, are we to be denied it ?" Some amendments were moved in the course of Saturday, which went directly to attack the holders of national domains. M. as VlLLaza was obliged to interfere, and remind the violent Royalists, that, according to the Charter, this pro perty was specially declared to be inviolable: the Members of the Extreme Right, however, insisted that the KING and the two Chambers are legally competent to amend the Charter. We may consequently expect, before this ques tion is set:lcd, that some extravagant and mischievous pro positions will Le brought forward, by which perhaps the tranquillity of France will be disturbed, and the safety of the restored dynasty hazarded. The Minister ought to have foreseen these consequences, and be should resolutely have declined to be made the instrument of throwing the kingdom into commotion. Yet the chief pretence for this measure was its tendency to extinguish all remaining ani mosities, and ensure the reign of amity and peace. The Constitutionnel confirms the fact that the Swedish Government has resolved to follow the example of England in recognising the independence of the new American States. It appear+, that more than four months ago M. vs Haaqswotr was sent from Stockholm to Colombia, to negociste treaties cf commerce with these Republics. The Etoile of Monday asserts that the Divan had as sumed an insolent tone towards M. ns MrsztacEr, under the impression that the late inundation of St. Pr tersburgh had reduced the Russian empire to a state of utter debility. On so slight a foundation does the Porte build its foreign politics. If any Greek Commander had shown half the degree of brutal ignorance peculiar to the Statesmen of Constantinople, how would Europe have resounded with outcries against the barbarism of this gal lant pee le ! The news from Greece is perfectly satisfac tory. The authority of the general Government is com pletely established. The King of SPAIN'S health, it is declared, is somewhat better, but it is not said that any expectation has been fcrmed of his speedy convalescence. [From the Etoile, dated Monday.] 0DE11541, Jaw. Ta. It is well known that the Divan answered M. Minziackr in • very unsatisfactory manner, relative to the navigation of the Black Sea, and the administration of the two Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia ; but the CAWS* of this new arrogance was by no means suspected. It is nothing else than the inundation of St. Petersburgh. the Turk* ars persuaded that the Russian Empire must be reduced to a state of total debility by that event. Taresre, FED. G. Letters from Corfu of the 19th January, give ample details of the siege and maritime blockade of Patna', which have notbeen raised, as was reported ; but what is remarkable Is, that these letters maks no mention whatever of the larding, which, according to the Austrian Observer, the Egyptians had mule at Coron or Modon. _ . - It is certain that the party of the rebels is entirely subdued or dispersed. The papers of Colocotrotti have been delivered to the Government. The Russian influence is nothing since the departure of Varraki._ _ _ . _ The Lord High Commissioner, Sir F.

Letters from Madrid of the Iltb inst. announce some ameliora tion in the health of the King of Spain. /lie llaj:sty had slept well the two preceding nights, and *sus much more easy. Prince Mettcraich is to leave Vienna on the 24th, to came to Paris. Great surmise is felt at Jassy that the Russian Consul does not arrive. There Is no indication of his return to the house of the Consulate, which is in great want of repair. Tt is thought that Pisani will not come to Jassy, but his successor is not mentioned. The communications with Bessarabia become more and more difficult. The plague bas manifested itself at Ismail, and besides the Lazaretto at Scotero, a second has been established half way to Odessa. No extraordinary movements hare been remarked for some time put among the Russian troops between the Pruth and the Dniester. The plague has ceased at Bucharest. [From the Journal Dee Dela* of Sunday.) Pants, Fee. 19. The Chamber of Accusation of the Royal Court, has e•nt to the Court of Anises the prisoner Fort, late Secretary of l.a Royal Highness the Duke do Bourbon, for trial, on the double charge of attempting , to assassinate la. de Ogilvy and M. Very, his valet de cluunbre,and of secretly stealing considerable SUMS of money from the Pripet, by alterations its The arolunts of the said Fort. The trial will take place iu the and of March. Frankfort Papers to the Itith instant arrived at our ogles yesterday. They con'aia seine stories rsepecting the Leave was given, in the course of the evening, to bring in several bills for the improvement of Ireland; one re lating to the levy of church rates, another for the amend pent of the law of landlord and tenant, and the third to regulate the effice of Justice of the Peace. The LORD CHAN cELLos.'s proposed Bill, for the regu lation Of JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES, appears to proceed with the same tortoise-step which characterises the pro gress of his Lordship's mind in all its other deliberations. Whatever decree was intended to have been eventually pronounced against them, judgment has been so long res. pited, that we begin to doubt if it will be pronounced. Some, indeed, begin to fear that the delay is only to be ascribed to his Lordship's not tying able to make up his mind as to all the enactments that it may be advisable to introduce into it—others are alarmed lest the Joint-Stock Company Bill should be as long as a Bill in Chancery— some are most anxious to learn whether it is intended that the three-fi)urtlis, or whatever other proportion of their ca pital is to be paid up, is to be put out at interest for their benefit, or to whose bentfit it is to be applied: their minds are the more disquieted en this head, because it appears that by the 12th Geo. 11. c. 24, part of the SUITORS' casts is to be placed out at interest, fbr defraying the charge of the ACCOUNTANT-GENIRAL's office ; and by the 23d Geo. 11. c. 23, part of the interest of the said su:tars' cash is to be applied for making good deficiencies to Me CLUE or THE HANAPEI, and for augmenting Me income of the MASTER or THE ROLLS. By 1 Geo. 111. C. 1, the King is empowered to grant out of the said fund a sum not exceeding FITE THOUSAND POUNDS Fer annum TO THE CHANCELLOR. By 5 Geo. 111. C. 29, eighty thousand pounds of the sr IT oas' cuts was placed out at interest, and two hundred pounds per annum paid thercout half yearly to each of the *LIMN MASTERS or THE COURT. By 9 Geo. 111. C. 19, TWENTY THOUSAND POUNDS MOSE of the suitors money was placed out at interest; out of which 4401. per annum is paid in salaries, TiZ.-2501. to the Ac countant-General, so!. to his first clerk, 40!. to his second clerk, and 1201. to his jburth clerk, in lieu of unites. By 'l4 G. 111. c. 49, rare THOUSAND POUNDS more was is like manner placed out; and out of the interest thereof, and the surplus interest under former Acts, the Cwatecsu.oa is, by his own order, to direct the REBUILDING or THE Six CLERKS' OF plus, and apply TEN THOUSAND pounds (and by 40 Geo. 111. a. 33, three thousand pounds more) for building the REGISIER'S and AecootemarGstessa.t.'s Orrsess, to be vested in the Accountant-General and his successors. Now, however well understood all this disposition and management of the interest of the sulloate cas e stay be by those who move about the chancery, those who move about the 'CHANGE are appalled by the very scuod of it. A variety of interrogatories rush into their minds instinctively, at the thought of what is to become of the interest of that vast partitm of their capital, which the Lord Chancellor is about to require to be paid up and inverted, but ',Lich te•Y NlVltil 85 WANTSD, for the purpose of carrying on the concern for which its reservation was originally intended. Is it to follow the fate of the suitors' cash, or what is to be come of it? On this matter the money market is all in the dark ! The speculators in that market are not among the students who seek to thrive by jurisprudence," and they await in terrific suspense the forthcoming of his Lordship's Bill ; they feel that they are likely to have a great interest at stake, and before --•"rhey boy obedisites to his just decre:s.

Faa. IL On Thursday the Royal Court held a General Assembly of the Chambors, with closed doors, to hear a suit °flirt! ATTCHINET•GLNI.k•L, relating to M.

This.ltsport, with the several documents attached to it, fills five quarto folumes. This voluminous Relkrl must uudergo a detailed examination, before it can be disa cussed in the Chambers ; the principal questim.3 it in volves are—the nature of' the intes ventien of the President of the Council (111.13 k Vi e) in the affair of Oe r A Eij the motives of the President for exercising this itstao vention, of which no Minister of War would take utoo himself the responitihility—and what the consequences have been of this pommel intervention ?

The Bishop of H xamororts was hat present at the dis cussion of the Sacrilege Law project on Thursday, ben confined to his main by illness. The deep murmur of put lie dissatisfaction, combined with his ewn perplexity, it the supposed cause of his indisposition. The trial of Parepoiee, for the murder of the two chit dren at Vincennes, is announced for the 24th of this month . The greatest secrecy has hitherto been pretrved on thi mysterious affair. There are two other chargee brought against this notorious assassin, for stabbing the kee'pei of the prison, and a youth who was his fellow-prisoner.

A letter from Augsburg, of the 12th instant, states, the: wifliffi the last few days there have been diplomatic me t e:- ings at the house of Prince METTERNICH, which are be lieved to relate to the policy recently pursued by Englat with regard to the Republics of South America. At e breaking up of one of these assemblies, the Minister Sielt off couriers to Paris. Berlin, and St. Petersburgh. The British Ambassador has not been present at any of' thrill meetings. It is said that Prince MITTRRNICH will riot leave Vienna till he departs for Italy. The sentiments ut Russia on this subject, it is said, ate perfectly pacifiz. • The part taken by Great Britain with regard to the rat cognition of the Spanish Colonies, is matter of serious and sore deliberation. It is reprobated by the legitimate; as o . ;" very dangerous example, and as being both au unsafe aid unsuitable policy, as connected with the present state of Europe. The more rational and reflective majority, how ever, hold a quite different language. They commerd ttiy conduct of the English Government, as worthy of Ps ratter, and are loud in praise of Mr. Caterxivo. They I add, that if the public mind in France was in a soiled. and healthy state, M.

Colombian wet. 90i to 91. Greek Bonds were 376 to .513. Old Spanish Bonds were 23k and New ditto 191. There has been a great deal said respecting the New Spanish Loan ; and notwithstanding the positive contradiction that has been given to the statements we have made as to the fact of the pending negociation,we can as pceitiNelv re-affirm all that we have published on that subject. Whether the negoeia tions will, after all, be finally successful, and when the loan will make its appearance on the Stock Exchange, tee cannot say. As we before observed, there are many otu• stacks to be removed, and much time must be consunsot in the negociatiou ; but we do not speak unadvisedly whet we azain say, that the basis is laid, and the conditions settled. A Morning Paper, which affects to speak oracle larly on these matters, asserts that M. Gorbea will " lose I his labour, - and denies that any capitalist " has lent it I favourable ear to his propositions."
