By the American Papers, which arrived yesterday, it ap pears that blaranham, Ceara, and the northern provinces of Brazil, have withdrawn themselvts from the authority of the Emperor Pedro. The whole country is described as in a disquiet state, and we ►uspect that the recent proceed :lgs of the Emperor have been but ill adapted to conciliate tl.e favour of the Brazilians. It will not in the least sur- 'prise us to hear, that his throne has been overturned, and fiat the Emperor has sailed for Europe, to make the grand tour with his brother Don Miguel. So vast a country as Bra:-.1 can be held tog‘ther only by a political system of a r:uch more liberal nature than Don Pedro seems willing to coreede. The last advices from Jamaica, ria New York, have disappointed the expectations in which we had indulged as t t:.e trlngnillization of the negroes. Not only was the partial revolt of the slaves in the Hanover district not oppressed, but, cm the 17th of June, the insurrection had a 1 to several estate: in the parish of St. Mary's, and symptoms of insubordination bad been m4:lifested at other vlaces in the island. The alarm was so great among the white inhabitants, that martial law had been proclaimed, aed every measure of precaution resorted to, for the gene ra! safety. Some excesses had been committed by the in sergents, bt.t of what character, cc to what extent, we are not hiformtd. We may, we fear, too truly anticipate, that many atrocities bad marked the first successes of the rete!s. All history bears witness to the horrors of every beillm se, rile ; end the feelings of the colonists and their revolted slaves are exasperated by that deep and almost in expressible hatred, arising from the difference of colour. We are far from imputing to any of our countrymen, that they regard these events butt with pain and anxiety. If the spirit which unhappily seems to be excited among the slave population in the West Indies cannot be suppressed; if they cannot be elketually curbed while the measures are brought it to operation for the amelioration of their con dition; if the mischievous delusions which have, somehow or I other, been spread amongst them cannot be eradicated, we are afraid that the ruin of our colonies must ensue, and the hopes of the abolitionists themselves be 'Whaled. The duty of raising the negro in the scale of society, by enlarg ing his knowledge and improving his morals, is fully ad mitted on all hands. It is nowhere pretended that slavery ought to be perpetuated. The only question at issue is, whether in this case the old adage may not hold gt al, vie. " the more baste the wix se speed." All our sympathy is not due exclusively to the negro. Some part of our bene volence ought to he reserved for those who belong to our own blood. no we forward the interests of the slaves by teaching them to look with jealousy and distrust upon those to whom, after all, the work of their improvement must be 'devolved ? We do not mean to assert, that tiny of the abo litionists have directly instilled such a doctrine into the slave.; ; but the fact is now placed beyond a doubt by the rebellious disposition of the negroes, that they do look upon their masters with evil eyes, and that this feeling has kept pace with the activity of the efforts made in this country, to accelerate an event which can be matured only by the slow progress of ages. Un der these circumstances it seriously behoves every man to withdrew his countenano: and support from all those schemes and projects (in whatever feeling they may have originated), by which the existing irritation in the colonies may be increased, and the population of both I colours ingulphed in bloodshed and misery. Ihe first lesson to be LOW taught the slaves is, their obligation of obedience to their masters, under such limits as the laws may have fixed. When they shall be satisfied of the in utility and impolicy of their abortive attempts, to take by force what they are not yet fit to enjoy, it will be proper to hold out to them, as the reward of their patience and subjection, the expectation of such gradual ameliorations ss may prepare them to become the recipients of certain civil rights, which will be conferred upon them by a regu lated scale, according to their worth. The acquisition of property would seem the most natural and safe criterion of their desert, that is to say, their care and industry. The success of a few would infuse content and satisfaction I through the whole ; and we or our posterity would witness the delightful spectacle of a numerous population of bond men, silently, but surely, working out their redemption, without tumult or confusion. All that is necessary to this consummation is, that instead of rowing disscntion 1 between the colonists and their slaves, we should inspire the latter with confidence in those whose co-operation is essential to their welfare; and, above all, we should avoid that kind of unfriendly interference with the Colonial Legislatures, which is easily misconstrued by the ignorance of the negroes into a sanction for resisting their enactments. The affairs of the colonists are now at a crisis, which every one must survey with the deepest emotions of dread. If it should pass over happily, let us not again have to lay it to the account of our indiscretion, that we have, in despite of the sad warnings of experience, provoked similar calamities. We look forward with the most serious appre hension to the next arrivals from Jamaica direct. In this awful pause, let us guard against incurring the reproach et contributing in any way to aggravate the misfortunes of our unfortunate fellow subjects, whose greatest guilt is that they have been bora in a bad state of society which our an cestors forced upon theirs, for the supposed interests of the mother country. WINDSOR, Arc. 11.—Tbe King rides out daily in his phaeton from the Royal Lodge. His Majesty's excursions are principally confined to the rides in the royal parka. The King is expected at the Castle to-morrow, is is said for the purpose of laying the first stone to the new grand and improved entrance to the Royal Castle, agreeably to the plan of Mr. Wyatt, in honour of its being the anniversary of the natal day of his Majesty. The Duke of York is expected at the Lodge from London, this evening, on a visit to the King. This morning the 2tl regiment of Life Guards marched from the cavalry barracks in this town to Inglef Green, where they bad a grand field day. His Majesty is expected at Carlton House in the course of the present week, when an order will be issued for the further prorogation of Parliament, which at present stands adjourned to the 24th instant. It is rumoured that his Majesty does not soon intend to visit Brighton. Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clerk, the Duke of York arrived in town, in his travelling carriage and four, from Brighton. The Earl of Westmorland left town on Tuesday for the Continent. It is expected his Lordship will go to Florence, to visit his son, Lord Burgbersh, the British Minister at that city. Yesterday the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lady Sarah Robinson and family, left town for their seat at Nocton, in Lincolnshire, for the season. Mr. Secretary Canning gave a grand dinner on Monday at Gloucester Lodge, to some of the Foreign Ambassadors, and a select party. Ilis Excellency Count Villa Real, the Portuguese Mi nister, transacted business at the Foreign Office, Downing street, with Mr. Secretary Canning, yesterday. On Tuesday a Board of the Lords of the Treasury was held at the Treasury Chambers. THE ARCHBISHOP or DUBLIN.—We are happy to state, that his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin is almost perfectly recovered from the effects of his late accident. His Grace will be enabled to attend Confirmation in St. Andrew's Church on Sunday, the lath instant.—Deldia Paper. Prince de Narischen, Grand Chancellor of the Emperor of Russia, is :Irtived at Paris. Jerome Bonaparte arrived on the 29th ult. at Vienna, under the title of Prince do Mentford. The present King of Persia has 39 sons, and 140 daugh ters. Colonel Hamilton, who has lately returned from Colom bia, has been called upon by the British Government to , snake a report of the state of South America, which he has' complied with, and the Report delivered to Mr. Canning.' It is very interesting.—Curd• Airr. We understand that the lion. Colonel Wodehouse, his Majesty's Lieutenant of the County, has received a letter from the Lord Chancellor, announcing that the Twelve ' Judges have unanimously decided against the removal ofl the Lent Assizes from Thetford.—Nortrich Paper. Five PEI CENTS. 1797.—The Act of Parliament with respect to this Stock is only known to few : it will therefore be very satisfactory to the holders of this Stock to be informed, that unless notice is given to the Governor and Company of the Bank of England any day between the ail of September and the 10th of October next, to have their Five per Cents. 1797, converted into Three per Cent. Consols, on the sth of April next, they will be paid off at par next July, which can now be sold for 123 ; which will be a saving of about 23 per cent. The defeat of the Royalists in Peru must now be consi dered as a complete fabrication. Letters were yesterday received front Cartha'ena (Colombia) to the 20th June, which state the arrival of La Fiore, French frigate, on the 1 nth June, with Nl.Chasseriau, the Commissioner appointed to proceed to Bogota. A large increase of the military force had been demed by the Congress, in order to place the most ample resources at the disposal of Bolivar. Letters from 7ante, of the lath of July, announce the delivery of part of the Loan to Mavrocorilato, by order of the Greek Government, for the service of Western Greece. At that time accounts from all parts of Greece were very favourable. The military Chi: fs had submitted to the Go vermin lit. Front the want of rain and unusual degree of heat, which have prevailed for some time, the currant vines had been touch injured throughout the lonian Islands. Accounts from Rome say, that it is not intended to ad mit any person to the Priesthood before the age of 34 years. By letters received yesterday from lisvre, It appears that the Haytian Deputies are shout to leave France im mediately, having abandoned all hopes of prevailing on the French Government to recognise the independence of St. Domingo. It is stated, upon the authority of a letter from Paris, that some serious disturbances have arisen at Barcelona, and that several hundred young men of that place appear in the streets with the bonnet rouge. A Diseecirstea.—GeliCral ZAsritnA had a very long Polish name. The King having heard of it, one day asked him, good huntouredlv, " Pray, Zatemba, what is your name?" The General repeated to him immediately the whole of his long name. Why," said the King, "the Devil himself never had such a name." " I should pre sume not, Sir," replied the General, "as he was nu relation (f At Longford Assizes the Rev. Mr. Kilcommon, a Bemoan Catholic clergyman, was convicted of marrying two Pretestants. . • PFPORT OF TITE SEL.FCP' COIIII.I7T7'EE ArPOINTID TO CONSIDPII TILL EXPEDIENCY Dr CONE°. I MATING AND AMENDING TIIE CIIXL%AL LAW Or ENGLAND. We touched slightly on this Report in our paper of yes terday. We have a long train of introductory observations by Mr. Hammond, which we confess appear somewhat out of their place in this Report. If the contents of this heavy volume form the result of his valuable labours, which we presume it does, it either ought to be so stated in the outset, in which case it is not the Report of the Select Committee, but of Mr. Hammond; on the other hand, if it actually embodies their labours, then it ought not to be preceded by a dissertation which gives to the Report the appearance of coming front the writer, and en titling him to the exclusive praise of performing a most important duty, which Parliament had specially entrusted to the Select Committee. The investigation of the state of Our criminal code, as it relates to the crime of FORGERY, is here very complete. Our criminal jurisprudence, it is pretty well known, is very far from baying arrived to a state of practicable perfection. It is lax, diffuse, con fused, and ill-digested in the extreme. It is, manifestly, much more anxious for the protection of rt , r, titan the preservation of ;it deals out death to almost every mode of depredation ; is is appalling to look into the great body of penal statutes, and to see what a countless mass of offences are made capital, and with how littleconsideration men are sent into eternity. The present Report seems confined to a single class of climes, that of but the ,rs,,lutions of the Committee stem to apply to the whole system of Cr iminal Lair. We find it resol rea— -1 That the Chairmah be directed to move for leave to bring in bills, consolidating the Criminal Law, 'Orland ir. 2 , aniew'rient yr alteration, and 3. &soh eel, That it is expedient, that certain o•n:sr; ,item! anomalies in the present state of the Criminal Law be brought under the consideration of the House, with a view to r:lneiy thc same, by legislative provisions. 4. Regaled, That the Chairman be directed to move fur leave to being /0 bills, supplying such emissions, and remedying the ~rirtl ag anomalies, such AMENDING DILLS to be wholly distinct from the CONSOLIDATING DILLS. To us, this picceeding has the appearance of inverting the natural order of things ; we are willing enough to at tribute this to our not properly comprehending its utility ; • hut, certainly, in the absence cf all explanation as to the policy of adopting such a course, we should say, thatfirst to bare supplied the omissions and remedied the defects of the existing system by the amending hills, and nest to have consolidated the laws after they bad undergone this re vision and improvement, and been thus previously fitted for selection, would have been not only the most efficient, but the most lucid and bast troublesome process. The present Report would have been much better adapted for general information, had it abounded less in multifarious quotations from law cases. As an appendage to a law library, it may be a document of useful reference, 'but every purpose of public utility would, we think, have been better answered by a plain and clear statement of the result to which the inquiries of the Select Committee, or of Mr. Hammond, have led, than by this introduction, and massing together of all the law authorities, indictments, and Crown cases, which those inquiries had made it neces sary to consult. THE POYALV BUBBLE. We have received the following letter from Mr. Irving, one of the Comfnlasioncil for consolidating the debts of Poyais, with an inclosure addressed to the " Holders of the Povais Securities." It is perhaps due to the l'oraisian Consul, that as our reporter, amongst a multitude of other neglected speeches, suppressed the observations of Mr. Irving, he should be allowed to speak once for himself, especially as he conceives himself " injured" by the " de ficiency" of our report. It is obvious that some limit must be assigned even to the most important subjects; and though Mr. Irving's name was not mentioned, the sub stance of the two principal speeches, one on each side, was, it is admitted, correctly given. The address to the Holders of the Poyais Securities has, we perceive, been printed for general circulation ; and as it is much too long, and in many parts too personal, for publication in our columns, we hope Mr. Irving will be satisfied with the ap pearance of the extracts we have made below. We now take our have of the principality of Poyais and its affairs. Each party has been fairly beard ; and if they cannot agree in the adjustment of their accounts, they must seek other and more proper channels of intercommunication. shall certainly not lend ourselves to their purposes. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. London, August 10, 1024. Sett,—l have not noticed sooner the very partial report given in I your respectable Journal of the 9th instant, of a Blecting of the Holders of Poyaisian Securities, held on Saturday last, on the sum. mans of Major W. J. Richardson, late agent for Poyais, because I have been preparing, for the satisfaction of those concerned, a plain statement of facts, of which I hand you a copy herewith. I do not mean to argue that your report is not substantially cor rect as far 411 it goes, but after giving Major Richardson's state 'Dents very fully, your Reporter has omitted, in the opinion of every one I have had an opportunity of consulting, all the plain facts and contradictions which were given by Mr. Thick and my self. I call upon you, therefore, as a matter of justice to those your deficient report has inittnal, to insert the accompanying sub stance of statements made and substantiated at that Meeting, and after reading them, let me ask you what becomes of your corn pliments to Major Richardson about his readiness in producing his accounts ? Appreciating the difficulties of reporting fully and fairly for the press, and at the same time the delicacy of the task, 1 disclaim entirely, for myself and others, any idea of attributing an inten. Donal trppressio ter; to your Reporter. IVltb respect to Major Richardson calling • Meeting after. and apparently because he had been dismissed from the service, let me ask you how such conduct from a servant to his master can be justified? I am not permitted at present to state what I know regarding the negotiations presently carrying oil. A very short time will shew, however, how far you axe, or are not, correct in your editorial remarks. I confide In your sense of justice for the Insertion of this letter and its inclosure, and I ant, yours most respectfully, EDWARD IRVING, Consul for Poyais. The address to the holders of the Poyais securities de tails a long course of alletltted mismanagement on the part of the late " Envoy of Poyais." It states, that the official salary of Mr. Richardson was 400!. per annum ; and that the commission allowed on the loan be negotiated with Mr. Iler.driks was somewhat about gooo/.—ample reinuner ation, it is remarked, for a year and a half's services. It is intimated, that a great part of this sum has been lost by Mr. Richardson in his injudicious speculations; and, cer tainly, if his faith in the stability of Poyais led him to speculate in its " securities," he might very easily have lost a much larger aunt. The address then Inquires what has become of the remaining proceeds of the Poyais loans, especially that of Mr. Ilendrik's, amounting to 300,000!. stock ? This question, however, it is admitted, cannot be answered till the accounts of Mr. lieliardsott are examined. Saone commercial items are then gone into respecting the purchase and freight of some vessels, in which it is assert ed great negligence and ignorance were sliewn by Mr. Richardson. The payments of the dividends is next can vassed, and Mr. Irving thus describes that transaction:— " One thousand bonds had been retained in the hands of lien dri km, the contractor for the payment of that dividend-31r. lien-' driks having declined to fulfil his engagement, Mr. Richardson' created a new commercial bouse.- 7 . Messrs. Gilbert and Co.' into whose hands lie put the bonds. The dividends were advertised, hut the public remained doubtful ; anal at last, when the period ar. rived. the public were only paid one per cent. in full ! Morro-tr. It was discovered, that wider various marks and numbers, Dao.ooof. stock had, in addition to the 1900 bond. above named, been is. sued. I repeat, continues Mr. Irving. what I stated at the Meet ing, that these bonds were issued without the knowledge, consent, or concurrence of the Prince of POYaia, who never *mid have sanc tioned the measure. In short, to create • debt of 230,111101. bear ing five per cent. interest, to pay a half year's dividend of one per erns. upon 470,1.1001. without even accomplishing that object. is • I measure so exceedingly absurd that surely it was high time for the Prieto of Poyais to change his unfortunate Minister of Finance! !

S WHITTEN TRON COLOXDIA DURING ♦ JOVINEY raOlt CALI %CAB TO BOGOTA, AND TUENCE TO SANTA MARTHA, IN At a moment like the present, when every thing relating to the 'Republic of Colombia is so highly interesting to Great Britain, no work can fail to be welcome which con tributes to put us in possession of the actual state of that fertile country. Its treasures open a new fiehl of specula tion to science, while they offer an inexhaustible excitement to commercial enterprise. The dawn of freedom which has broken forth on the New %rorld is daily ltading to the most important results. The agricultural industry of its ' abundant population will augment with their rational inde pendence ; their wealth will keep pace with their industry ; and the it demand for manufactures will augment with their agricultural wealth. The country from which their supply of manufactures will be drawn is Great Britain. The ar . Oficial wants of mankind are in every civilized State infi finely greater than the real; and this country, from its I superior advantages, will be the channel through which the colonies of Spanish America, released from the miseries of despotic power, will make their most prolific and most profitable demands for manufactured goods. The letters before us arc preccaled by the following very sensible pre face, which, though written without pretension, bean the stamp of a manly and reflective mind:— " The writer of the following letters puts them forth with no other pretensior. than that of giving a faithful account of what he had the opportunity of observing on his journey. " Pretending to neither literary talent nor scientific attainment, he would not, however, have considered mere accuracy of observa tion a sufficient apology for the publication, but for the want so anis ersally felt in Great Britain of information as to the actual con dition of the Republic of Colombia. " The more that rich and beautiful country becomes known, the greater will be the interest excited towards it among all Europeans. So extensive a field for the exercise of European industry and in telligence has not for ages presented itself. Nature discloses, on all sides, inexhaustible treasures, both of the mineral and vegetable kingdoms; the skill and labour of man are alone wanting to draw them forth. The variety of soil and climate affords scope for every species of production. and enables the stranger to choose those which may suit his constitution and pursuits. The scene on all sides is, in abort, abundantly inviting; and the traveller, in pass ing through the country, sees such extensive capabilities--so much scope for improvement, that he hardly knows which object he ought to take up first. " The suffering caused by the Revolution has been excessive— the desolation extreme. Both mark, in a manner highly honour able to the Colombians, the undeviating constancy with which, foe fourteen years, they have persevered in a struggle, not of faction against legitimate authority, but of lawful right against unlawful oppression. It is, perhaps, not generally known in this country,' that the original conquerors of Spanish America established solemn treaties between the inhabitants of those nations and the Crown of Spain, by which the former became subject to the Spanish Crown, but with certain provisions and stipulations, calculated to secure to them particular rights and privileges. These treaties were wholly disregarded, and trampled under foot by the Spanish Government. Remonstrance after remonstrance was made to the Court of Madrid. They were mocked at and despised. A greater example of patient and enduring loyalty, than that exhibited for three centuries by the colonies of Spain, history does not furnish. It was not sufficient that the greatest political privations were inflicted on the inhabi tants ; they were even prohibited ftorn cultivating some of the most valuable frints of the earth. The vine and the olive-tree were for bidden plants throughout all Spanish America. And why ? That the wine and the oil of the mother country might alone be consumed by theiColonists. In short; a more absurd system of misrule--a more heartless, selfish tyranny, than that exercised by Spain Over its transmarine possessions, the world has no example of. With so docile a people, anything like a moderately liberal system of government would have secured these valuable countries to Spain for ever. She has now irrevocably lost them—not by the rebellion of discontent against the restraints of rational government, but by her own infraction of the most solemn and inalienable engagements. A few years of peace will !Mew how much the interests of humanity at large have benefited by the change." The above observatior.a arc pointed and just. In truth, if the Members of the Holy Alliance themselves, instead of redeeming the solemn pledge under which, in the days of NArorrorr, they gave their subjects the promise of a free Constitution, they continue to act on their present arbitrary system, they will, ultimately find, to their cost, that nations can obtain their civil rights by other means than a spon taneous grant from Kings and Emperors.

The extent of each country to its most distant limits, Is now measured, which the respective populations may one day occupy. The population of the various parts of America, belonging to the Spaniards, is very uncertain, nevertheless each branch has been carefully examined acccrding to the latest data, that have come into my possession. This statement should be looked upon In the sante light as the others published by me on America ; that Is, as an attempt, which ought hereafter to be perfected.
