'I he BIIITION re ass cam mance publishing on Saturday morning at dire o'clocb. last night we received a file of the Buenos Ayres Arn..•. lite Government of the Rio de la Plata, following the ex amples of England and the United States, has proposed to the Leg4latur.: to punish as pirates those enzagod in the Wave Trade. From Upper Pent we leant that the successes of VOLIVAIt have compelled the Viceroy, LASERNA, to with draw the troops under Valor^. from the province of Po tosi, which was *holly yielded to die authority of Ot-L- Nr TA. Names, data, and places are so confused in these papers, that we cannot much rely upon their contents. RRATALA, who some time ago was made prisoner by r ANITA, is now reported to have been killed in an action, in which VALDEZ was wounded and defeated by 'A:it:nuts, a partisan of the servile faction. On the ether hand, we arc told that 01.ANICTA had entered Potosi, on an understanding with Votncz. Another statement, more probable and intelligible, is, that the Royalist soldiers are deserting, disgusted with the quar rels of the Spanish Generals, and dispirited with the little prospect of success that remains to them. The progress of the Colombian Liberator, their own distention', and the t.rodual decay of their strength, are co-operating rapidly to their destruction. An utterly hopeless contest was never r'orr obstinately and mischievously prolonged. Among the odious institutions which Europe owes itti rediately to the Holy Alliance, the worst unquestionably is, the Central Commission of Mayenee.. This /rAly is toddled on the plan of the Spanish Inquisition ; it arts I y secret means all over Germany ; it probably has spies :n every country in Europe, but its power is not exercised leyand the limits of the Germanic Confederation : whom it suspects it seises, in whatever part of Germany its victim tray reside ; it carries him away wherever it pleases, and subjects him to such rigours as it judges fit to infii,t open him. The late arrest of Professor Cot SIN. at De:tllett, as I.e was journeying from France to Poland, is an instanre of the power claimed and exercised by this political iniitti,it ion. M. CorsiN is now in custody at 11. 1; lie is c.iarget. 1 1 ernerally with having corresponded with parties engaged i t revolutionary intrigues in G.7rrnany ; and on this vague accusation he is, it ithout knowing any thing of the proof t proceedings against him, confined until the pl.•asure of tbe Commission of Mayence shall be communicated to him. T:te following letter from Dresden will throw some ii ht the character of this body. Wc utterly ilibbelicre all th? stories respecting secret societies and revolutionary in t7igues, at least in the sense and to the extent d.st ribll by 11)• Gernmil Papers. If there bad been any polities! ol f?nces committed since Islo, why have not the guilty par t been publicly tried and cor.victed? sliouhl the rrismis be filled with this horrible and mysterious s.-ereoy, .1 this Commission were not the blind instrument of brutal Red sintlietive tyranny ?. M. de MA No I:, to whom arusian is made at the close of the subjoined letter, it will, perhaps, be recollected, was the Minister of the Elector of Erss E, whom he induced to persecute his subjects, and spend large sums of money to put down imaginary conspi racies, of which lifmtor a was himself the sole contriver. r• was at length detected, and is now suffrring the pe- 4 ,litnent to which be heti doomed several innocent indi- DIEMEN, Drc. 8. The phantom of scent socicti:s. raised in 11119 by the deceivers rf Prince", continues to bring misery on many irnocent persona, and even on whole families. At one time a radii r is torn from the vents of hi children, by virtue of • writ front the Comndssion of Ilayenre; at another, a young man of fair and hopeful prospect' is shagged from the 'nivervity to appear before this tribunal, and is Lrp: a prisoner for whole months, urder the pnetext that he is a mtn:ber of some secret society which has for Its object the rahrulons notion of reforming the world. The rumour of secret meted:3, which ferments Kings, Nerves also to prolong der months and years tie imprisonment of many persons of whom the public has* nothing but by whispers. It is pretended that the &ma. desire the subversion of all thrones. How is it, then, that ai•tce 1019 not a single person has been convicted before the tribu nals ? IVlty do the prisons continue filling when there has not Lett one conviction ? Such imprisonments are at variance with int' sacred rights of humanity. Ought we, in tlermany, thus gra to become habituated to such a species of secret inquisition? I: has often happened that men entirely innocent have been ill).

If there is any conspiracy in our thty, i: is the corspiraey of those who, like M. de 31 ost:c n, wish to •sttliject Prince to a system of ignorance, and who, as in the 'Ph ntl 11th centuries, desire to reign over both Sovereigns and pool*.

This is a sub cc: to which we shall continue tc cell the attention of the public, until so:: , c system shalt I.c adoptea by the ‘Vater l'ornpaniei to give vill.ct to the exc:llent arrangements of the Fire 0:n:el , . The latter are now rendered nearly usele.es for want of the femur. At every fire that happens, we hear of the engines remaining idle half an hour after their arrival, during which period the bitild'n in ritich the mischief has ctnntu:nced is gene rally destroyed, and the efforts of the firemen, when the tardy and scanty supply of water is at length obtained, are necessarily limited to the preservation of the adjoining houses. If in the first instance there was water enough, in most cases the fire might be easily extinguished soon after its discovery on the premises, and often in the very room where it has originated. If the New River Company cannot provide water to a suffi cient extent fer the public safety, a candid avowal to that effect should be made; and, in common honesty, they ' should relinquish endeavours which must so frequently and seriously terminate in disappointment and injtry to their customers. We believe that this is the root of the evil. The New River Company cannot adequately furnish all the immense district they have to supply. Hence they I are driven to expedients for husbanding their means, which daily !spode the lives and property of great numbers of people to destruction. Surely the public will not pa tiently allow this evil to continue another year. We fed much gratified in making known a benevolent offer of Mr. Waterhouse. the extensive coach proprietor of the Swan with Two Necks, in aid of the relief now raising by subscription for the Spanish and Italian re fugees. As it is probable that many familits in the coun try would be glad to avail themselves of the abilities of the the emigrants, as teachers of their native language, this op portunity of gratuitous carriage will be highly serviceable to the sufferers. It reflects great honour on Mr. Wa terhouse. The Quebec papers state that the Indian tribes in the vicinity of the R d Hirer had made a genera/ attack upon the settlement 41;* the I I Oson's Bay Company, which Rost:tined some loss, but that it had succeeded in repulsing the ns.ailants. _ _ The late inturreetion in Jamaica, it appears, occurred in a plantation near Montego Bay. It was speedily subdued by the militia, who fired upon, and killed several of the negroes. 'f us Br nstasE IV a.—lt is not in this war alone that the sufferings of India are centered. Bombay, Madras, and the uple•r provinces of Bengal, arc threatened with a famine. At Bombay, when the last advice' came away, only six inches of• water had fallen, when the average quantity during many years, at the same season, was up wards of 11 inches. The consequence is, that the tanks, a ells, and rivers have been nearly dried up, and one corre spondent states, that such is the deficiency of water and pasture, that at Ftxmalt the inhabitants have been driving in their cattle, and selling them as low as at three annas (about five pence) per head. At Madras, by the last ae- MIMS, no monsoon had commenced ; and in the upper provinces of Bengal, in the beginning of August, a strong westerly wind prevailed, unaccompanied by a single drop of rain. The natives attribute all these calamities to the baleful influence of the comet, which has made it ap pearatice in the se regions. The expanse of the war is enormous : we stated formerly that a crore and a half of rupees had been expended. That sum has since been increased to two hundred lace, and the monthly extra expense of the war is estimated at to lass (about 5n,000/.) %I'lleit we consider, at the same time, the neces sary effect of the famine in decreasing the revenue, it is evident that the Treasury of Calcutta will soon be exH hanited, and that it will he necessary to draw bills on Eng land for the difference. It is obvious that the rate of ex- I change in favour of this country must materially improve, 1 anal this solitary fact is all that we have to congratulate ourvelvt s upon in the whole complexion of the intelligence. I From the same causes which have ruined the grain crop, indigo has failed in every part of the country, save in the Jessore anal l►acca districts, and all that can be said of it in that quarter is that it has still some chance, but the fate of the mpg fur the last three years should prevent our being too sanguine.

PARIS. traoM 0171 COARESPONDINT.I • r• a ARIL, DECTMDER 2e. The condemnation of the unfortunate Colonel G •1: ell a m S has produced a strong impression en the public mind : such a revere measure was hardly to have been expected in the first months of a new reign. This prece4 was conducted with as much rage, animosity, and disregard of justice, as that of General BE aro N. The famous Procureur-General, MANGIN, who is the terror of the Cour Royale, and of all the Public Functionaries of Poitiers, had enjoined the Prefii to select a Jury such as would ensure the con demnation of the accused. They ware accordingly chosen from among the most furious Ultras, cal lous to the appeal of comer/xi sense, mid regardless of all the rules of justice. The Procureur-Gencral dis played, altering the whole of the trial, a degree of malignity of which few men arc capable. Notwithstanding this, the discussions were so much in favour of the accused, and the depositions of the witnesses were so far from furnishing any positive proof of guilt, that even the Procurcur-Gene ral M•xsux, anticipated the acquittal of the prisoner. He is said to have been struck with astonishment when he beard the Jury pronounce G•reNAIS (ittlil . 4; the Ma gistrates of the Court, the auditory, and the whole town, were in consternation. It appears that these unjust and ignorant jurymen had persuaded themselves that it would be a memorable act of loyalty to present to Cif/eases X., at the commencement of his reign, an opportunity cf passing a solemn act cf grace ; anal, full of this magnificent concep tion, they pronounced an innocent man guilty, thinking that the sentence cons:quent on their verdict would not be put in execution. As soon as their verdict was pronounced, they addressed a petition to the KING, beseeching his par don for the condemned Gate mists, and they imagine, by the infamous dereliction of duty which preceded this interpo sition, they have rendered the monarchy an eminent service. So intense, however, has been the public indignation at Poitiers, that they have not been able to screen themselves from the incensed feeling which their conduct has excited. This general expression of public opinion did nut escape the observation of the l'rocurcur-Gcneral M•xci sr, who instantly sent off a courier for Paris with despatches, in which he demanded full and entire pardon for the Colonel. It is doubtful if such a request will be fa vourably received by M. DE PLVIIONNET, whose in dulgence has hitherto been limited to commuting the punishment of death pronounced against the military for political crimes, to an imprisonment for twenty years in irons. The condemnation of Colonel l; a has already raised the public mind to a dangerous state of irri tation ; and provided his pardon is not granted promptly and without reserve, the popularity :f the new reign will raccive a severe blow. The placing the (Literal Officers es rest toile, contimies still to occupy many of the Salons of Paris, mid it appears every day more certain that this measure will ree;:ye no modification. General DILI ON had lately an audience of ' his Maas sty. The General is an Irishman by birth, who' emigrated hi the commencement of the Revolution, and after saving in different emigrant corps, he entered the English scrvic-, in which he was engaged in !sit When Louis XVIII. was restored to the Throne, he wrote to the General a pressing letter, entreating him to quit the British army and return to France, holding out to him the most flattering proptets, and assuring him of the constant continuance of the Royal favour. General Di Leoer, under this inducement, returned to France, and was employed for some time in his rani: u: Lieu t.-G moral ;he has been situ., placed en dg'sponibilia, and lie is one of thew who fall under the new ordennance. Being admitted to an audience by the KING, he presented his NIA/FITT with the letter thus re ceived from his brother, and addressed him in these words :—" Sire, you sec the pressing invitation and posi tive promises which induced me to return to France ; hail I remained in England, I should never have been placed ea retroile, and had I even been put on half-pay, that half pay would have been double the retired pension about to be assigned to me. Could I have expected that hopes thus inspired would have been thus fulfilled ?" His NIAJ miry, with that courtesy which costs nothing, and is at t• ry one's service, expressed his great regret at finding him in_ eluded in a general measure to which it was impossible to make any exception ; be however desired him to wait upon the Minister of IVar, and explain to him the particular situation in which he was placed. " Sire," replied Gen. DILLON, " your Minister of War was in the ranks of those against whom I fought when I shed my blood for your family: he will, no doubt, listen to my complaint, but I am satisfied beforehand that he will not redress it. This reply put an cud to the audience. It is confidently allirmol, that a Lam is about to be opened with the Spanish Government, fur 11:41.: rents millions ,// et in which time irons of the loan to the Curtis will be admitted, at the rate of 23 per cent.

The emptiness of the royal coffers, if it forces the pions Fen- DINA ND to this mcde of recruiting, will soon bring him into a critical campaign with the Clergy ; for, depend upon it, if their territories are to be touched, tilde dere:ion will won stop short. When once he begins to draw for supplies upon the BANK or FAITH, the Army the Path will soon create a dirersion in another quarter. It is expected in Paris that the affa i r of Paparoine will come on as won as the Chambers meet, as a kind of diver sion to the attention of the public faint what Affiliate's are doing. It appears, according to an extract from the Proptganda of July Vs(11, that an official communication has been made from his Holiness the Pope to the Haytian President Royer, expressing great satisfaction on the part of his Ho limas at the anxiety manifested by the President to ace the Roman Catholic IZeligiett flourish in St. Domingo. T. obtain that end Ilia Holiness liolda it to be indispensable that the Atchhisltop of St. Domingo should be in cor respondence with the Papal Chair. Leo XII. wishes to be informed in what manlier the Ilaytian Prelate has Ilith:rto fulfilled the duties of his situation ; but, at the same time, directs a letter to he written to that Dignitary, antho. rising him to exercise the jurisdiction of the Church in all the Havasu territory. It is suggested that his unassisted efforts will be insufficient, and a division of his labours, by the appointment of zealous co-opetatots, is recommouled. The document concludes by invoking the celestial bene diction on the President. It appears from a private letter, that the Dutch authori ties had received an account of the treaty concluded be tween his Netherlandie Niajesty and the Court of St. James's: but as they hail received no instructions from their own government, they did not consider themselves authorised to act upon it. It was generally believed, how ever. throughout the settlement, that a kind of accommo dation would be iiniiitaliately entered into, by which our manufactures would be admitted into the Javanese ports. with the impost of a duty of twenty per cent. It was also expected in J3Vil that this country would have the liminess to make the Dutch adhere to the spirit of the treaty, in stead of hedging themselves behind the leiter, as they have hitherto shown themselves inclined to do, LITERATURE. THEODRIC, A DOMESTIC TALE, AND OTHER POEM". lIV THOMAS CAMPBELL. Longman, &c. When we recollected with what exquisite felicity of genius Mr. CAM ritELL had pourtrayed the Pleasures of llope, and with what sublimity and pathos be bad touched several lighter subjects, we opened the present volume of his poems with high expectations, but we regret to add that we closed it with sad disappointment. We wonder that any one who had deservedly canted so considerable a share of fame, should no carelessly risk the loss of it. Them:ric is said to be " a domestic tale," but the incidents are so un natural, and the machinery so ill-contrived, that we should have considered any writer whose poetic talents were power ful enough to make it interesting, as blameable for wasting them on characters so feeble, and events so ill chesem Julia, the principal peraonsge, hid conceived a romantic passion for Tit Eonate. a leader in the Austrian army, whom she had never seen ; she has, however, a brcther, Uvotrn, " sixteen summers old," serving under him : the letters which he wrote home b'azoued forth the virtues of his leader, and he wrote, it arms, •• With such hyperboles of yont.Vad style As made his mmHg dry iheir tears—and smile, But ditrerently far his words impresti'd A nond'iing sister's s ell.l, lies iu ti east."

At length the conflict of war ceases, an d !ipotesi returns to breathe again, in peace, among his native mountains of Switzer land, bringing with him the portrait of TN zonate, who hitherto hall only appeared to his sister in dreams ; this por trait, as it clothes her imagination with a little more per spicuity, gives her fresh fuel ; her fancy ascends still nearer to " the misty mountain's top," and her attachment to the Great Unknown becomes more intense than ever. The description of CooLeit's return has nothing in it which reminds us of Mr. Campbell's former productions; it is prosaic and common-place beyond the license allowed cren to magazine poetry in the present day.
