A Bill cr Project:of Law, consisting of only one article, was afterwards read, "ta grant from the Budget of 14 4 21, beyond the credit' fted for the ordinary expenses by the law of May 10, 1'23, the supplements subjoined, provisionally authorised by Royal Ordinances, to the amount of 34,360,737 franer. It was adopted by a majority of 268 votes against 37. The Menitrar contain; in its official part, an Ordinance et the KING, determining the manner of executing the law relative to the rentcs, assigned as an indtmr.ity to the emigrants. The foreign intelligence in these . papers is of little im ;mtance. The Council of 9tate which M.

'The intelligence received yesterday from Buenos Ayres :1 the highest importance, and of the most gratifying ' ll '.ur‘'••• There is no longer any doubt of the independence S , uth America. Great Britain hss formally recognised 1:,...ted Provinces of La Plata, by a Treaty of Friend .- ~ Navigation, and Commerce, signed on the 2el of r..lruary by the Ministers Plenipotentiary of the two and :stifle(' on the 19th by the Executive Audio. the new Republic. The provisions of the Treaty and calculated to promote the welfare of both Its basis is the reciprocal freedom of trade. and the most perfect security is stipulated for the subjects or citizens of either State, who may choose, for commercial purposes, to reside in the other. The s hipping of each is to be admitted into the ports of the otberon the saute terms as the national vessels. The United Provinces of La Plata pled:e themselves to co-operate with his MAJLIITY in ac coeplishing the entire abolitioh of the ;rave 'Trade. Great Britain is the first Power that has concluded any Treaty with this Federation. The United States of North America were negociating one, but the untimely death of Mr. CXIAS RoDN EY. their Ambassador, prevented it from being finished. There have been some disturbances in Chili, excited by the fanatical party, who are offended at the harsh treatment the clergy have lately sustained there; but at Buenos Ayres, and in the surrounding Provinces, the utmost tranquillity prevails. The Spanish General ROM L, it is stated, had refused to surrender Callao, and Bo ri VAR had consequently determined to outlaw him. It was expected, however, that his own troops would deliver him up to the besieging army. Three of the Spanish gun boats had joined the Colombian squadron that was block ading the port. The conduct of RODIL seems wholly inexplicable, as the Asia and the rest of the Spanish ves sels had left the Pacific, to bring back the Vic Lac( and the other Royalist Generals to Europe. OLA ILTA also has submitted, and the soil of South America has no longer one foe in arms treading its surface. The armistice with OLANsr,t can only lead to his unconditional sue -gender. " The following are the details contained in the Anent Extroor. dinar!' of the 2thh February. It sets forth that a courier from Salta had arrived en the preceding day, bringirg the news of an armistice concluded between General burre and General Olaneta. The Editor of the Argos says, in the absence of the ratification. which it is hoped will soon arrive, though the armistice itself had not been received at Salta, from a quarter which entirely preluded doubt nn the subject, yet all the letters, from parties of the greatest respectability, announced the fact. and believed it to be certain. The terms of the armistice are thus given. It is stated, that General Olaneta being then unable to recognise the independence of the new States. or the Treaties previously concluded, agrees to a cessation of hostilities for four months.--the armies during that period to occupy their present positions—the one to the North, the other to the South of the Desaguadero. The arrangements to be observed by both parties are pointed out in detail. The duration of the armistice was to count from the day on which it should be ratified by General Sucre. In case of hostilities being renewed, eight days notice to be given to either party. This document is dated January 12, 1825, signed by Jose Alendirabal e'lmas, An tonio de Virelde. To this is added—Head-quarters. Pas. Jan. 13, 1325: Ratified in all its pans. Pedro Antonio de Olaneta." The Brussels Papers of Wednesday were received last night. IVe have extracted a few paragraphs, which we subjoin : Letters from Breslau say, that the demand for linen for expor tation has greatly increased in consequence of the reduction of the duties in England. Orders have been received fur .:iO,OOO cwt. of sine, which has considerably enhanced the prices. The expo,- Iption of timber from Dantric for England continues to increase, I and gives employment to a great number of people in that city. The Greek Journal, the Friend of the Law, states, that the Captains of tire European vessels, which it names, riz.-2 3lal - 2 Austrian, and I Spanish, which funning put of the Egyp tian expedition, had serest to convey troops, horses, and ammu nition. and were taken by the Greeks after the anion off Candle, the 30th November, had been condemned by the maritime tribunal of Greece, and released by order of the Greek Government. The same paper says that the Egyptian troops commit many cruelties in the lale of Candi& The great Continental Sovereigns of Europe are looking with alarm on that bold and masterly line of policy which the English Government has adopted towards the Spanish Colonies. They cannot but consider Mr. CANNING as having confirmed and sanctioned, in the face of Europe, those principles which it has been the great aim of their ho'y league to extinguish. hey had reckoned on the total disappearance of that spirit of patriotism, and of those enlightened political opinions, which had began to make head against legitimacy. The demand for Charters and Constitutions they have long looked "upon as among the many sad symptoms of insubordination which distinguish the nineteenth century; they . regard every step towards popular freedom as just so much encroachment on Royal prerogative; anti to have independence introduced into Spanish America under the auspices of Great Brit,sin, is an event £3 hostile to all their pretensions, and so at war with all their views, that it is to he expected they would meet in Congress to confer on the best means of self-defence, and to agree on the best measures of counteraction. These great Potentates do not now seek, as in former times, to adjust the balance grpower, cm the basic of their relative rank, and their actual relations in regard to each other. There is now no care amongst them to guard against the preponderancy of this or that Sovereign, anti to secure their common safety by a treaty of union protec tive of their separate independence. It would be hardly intelligible in these times to talk of preserving the balance of Germany by poising the two great houses tf AUSTRIA and BRANDENDUI:C II ; matters have taken quite a dif ferent turn ; an entirely new character is given to the con federacy of crowned heads. The truth is, that all union for the balance of power is superseded by another and a very different species of political union. T he Allied Powers seem to consider their subjects as their natural enemies ; it appears to have become with them a maxim, that between then:seine: .and the people_ there is not, nor can be, any community of interest or of feeling. To put down this chimerical hostility, is the aim of every measure of their government; the whole of their conflict against popular freedom, and all that leads to it, springs from this illusion. In the whole round of erroneous opinions, not one could be found more preposterous or more fatal. It leads, in its consequences, to a stniggle, that in the end will bury the confederate Monarchs under the dust of their , thrones. A period more unseasonable than the present, for con spiring against the commonwealth of nations, could not possibly be chosen. Pretensions which, thirty years ago, might have extorted reverence from the multitude, would now provoke their mockery : tbis does not arise from any contempt, on their part, of public law or of public autho rity, but from a better untlestanding of the maxims which should govern ►he cne, and of the restraints which should regulate the other. It will not be suffered at this time of day that the Tater e ALI lANCE should outrage all the principles of public freedom, under the pretext of preserving " social order ;"—that era of deception has paned away, never to return. It has long required the greatest skill and the most la borious exertions on the part of the Continental Steersmen, to be continually tacking so as to keep to windward, and not to be carried away by the adverse currents. We sit►- cerely wish to see them moored in a safe anchorage, and not, as they are likely to do, persevere in their imprudent course till they rouse the energies of despair, and beget a resistance with which they will in vain attempt to com bat. In France, De Vies Esc and his adherents, suc cessful as, for the moment, they may be, may depend upon it they are feeding a stream of discontent, that, if things do not take another turn, will eventually sweep them all before it. Great Britain may justly claim the glory of having sounded the note of preparation for those great political im provements which are now going on in the Luropean sys tem. Mr. CANNING is a Statesman, fitted, by the force of his talents and the firmness of his purpose, to infuse an energ? BRITISTI PRESS. into the minds of all who act with him ; aided as he is by Members, that, like the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. Hos a risos, are sincerely disposed to give effect to all those principles of politicpl and commercial policy which lead to the true greatness of a nation. Their influence will be supreme; originating here, these principles will make the tour of the Continent, in spite of every attempt to stop their way. The Continental Cabinets intik act in the came spirit, or, placing themselves In a state of degrading arid dangerous comparison, they will excite a popular re sentment, which it is quite impossible they can long with stand. They may struggle against the introduction of representative 'governments; 'thew may combine to crush every movement tending that way ; but the example it consecrated,.and, sooner or later, they mint follow it. No lesson of superstitious servility —no doctrine of passive obedience which the Austria* Cliilethism can inculcate, will .. tie of 'any avail towards deseroying that fellorship of knowledge with freedom, which God and Nature has or. dained should exist, and which, therefac, ; no buinacfpoiver can put asunder. Their Majesties of the Holy League would do well to pause over the reriark of a celebrated' French writer, which contains' a single truth more instruc tive than the whole contents of all their political cate chisms put together—" 11 est aster. aisi• deiripeeleer la raison de maitre; mail, caned sine Ibis elle est née, a h•est pa, as pouvoir humain de fa f. re . Mr. BROUGHAM last night gave notice of his intention to move the commitment of the Iloman Catholic Relief Bill before the Orders this evening, if Sir E. BuRDETT should not be in his place to perform that duty. The Learned Gentleman complained, and we think justly, of the unexpected and extraordinary manner in which the commitment of the Bill was postponed on Monday even ing. It is certainly desirable that the question should be settled with all becoming despatch ; and if the Hon. Baronet by whom it was introduced be really too indo lent to watch over its progress, the business should be taken out of his hands. The welfare of the State, and the dignity of the Parliament, ought no longer to be trifled with. Mr. Nlastatv afterwards brought forward his motion for the repeal of the Beer duty. The chief argument on which he relied was, the inequality of the duty in its pres sure on the higher and lower classes. But as the CV LOA of the ExenEQUICII observed in reply, it would be difficult to point out any duty which is not liable to many objections, and attended with partial grievances that it would, if possible, be desirable to remove. A proposition . to strike off 3,000/.100/. at once from the revenue was, how ever, more than the public were prepared to see gravely under discussion. How nas so large a deficit to have been supplied ? By a proportionate increase of the Malt Tax ? That would cnly have been increasing the charges of those who brewed their own beer, and extending the trade of the public brewbouies. The CHANCELLOR of the Exert terra woull not commit himself to any imprudent pledge which may not be able to redeem, but lie intimated, that if the zystem on which he is proceeding should work as well as he believes it will, he intends to direct his attention to the subject, with the view of affording all the relief in his power. But he wished it to be understood that he prefers giving relief by the reduction of the duty on beer, instead of repealing the whole and substituting in its stead an increased duty on malt. The commutation of 6e Aiefir duty for a malt duty would indeed be no relief to the consumers of beer generally ; it would operate only to the advantage of the public brewer. We think the public will approve the course the Right llon. Gentleman purposes to follow. Every tax of heavy preseure cannot be repealed immediately; and as to the project of lightening the load by shifting the bur dens, we are quite sure the public will laugh at so absurd a method of relieving them. The House negatived the motion by a majority of almost four to one. The numbers were—Against the Motion, 68 —For it, 23. CITY, THURSDAY EvElmo. The panic that has prevailed in the English Money Market for these several days, was succeeded to-day by a comparative calm and confidence. Consols for Money opened this morning at 903, but they won advanced to 91, and afterwards to 911. The Account bargains were 90f 4, 914 a. Towards the doer of the Market an attempt was made to depress the Funds by a report respecting a Congress at Milan, but the prices remained firm at the last quotations. The option given by the King of France to the holders of the Rentes to take the r.ew Stock ttree and four months hence, as they think fit, has created confidence with re. spect to the permanence of public tranquillity. The steadiness of the price of bullion also clearly indicates that the exportation of the precious metals cannot have been carried to such an extent as to warrant the alarm that has been absurdly felt ; for it cannot have escaped the attention of parties interested in Stock transac tions, that bullion hu not varied a shade during all the reports that have been spread relativ.: to the excessive exportations of the circu lating medium. The quotations in the Foreign Market show that a corresponding improvement there has very generally taken place. South Ameri can securities may be particularly noticed u partaking in the rise. Colombian Bonds were done at USA. and Mexican Scrip at lit ells count. Brazilian Scrip was at 11 i premium, and Danish Ditto at 2} 2 discount. Ohl Spanish Bonds were at 211 24, ; and the New 131 i. The business in Greek Scrip was not extensive to-day ; It may bra quoted at 41 to 4/. The Bonds were .511 2. In the Share Market, the United 31exican Company was the most buoyant. These Shares have been r good deal depressed, but t hey appear now to be fast recovering, and some bargains were done in them today at 23 24. The Pasco-Peruvian Shares were better ; they were done at 114. The new Potosi were done at 34 4, and Anglo-Mexican aged V 5. In the Colonial Market Sugar maintained yesterday's prices, but Coffee was very languid. It is stated in letters from Paris that the new three per cents. were to be brought into the market to-day. Sellers are said to be very numerous, but for the price demanded, 77, it is apprehended few buyers will at present be found. CORON•TION or CHAIII.Y9 X.—The ceremony of the coronation of the King of France will be attended with great military pomp. A camp is alnady marked near Rheims, which will be occupied by chosen troops, parts of the Royal Guard, and a numerous Staff. All the road from Paris to Rheims will be lined with troops. Soissons will receive a numerous garrison. In short, nothing will be spared to give to the coronation of Charles X. all the attractions of external magnificence, which used to hive so much influence on the minds of the multitude. One of the reports current is, that Austria and Russia have formed a treaty to interfere in the war between Gr..•etie and Turkey, and effect a pacification on certain bases, which are represented to lie the following :—That Greece shall enjoy an effective independence and the right of in ternal government, &c. ; but that she shall pay a fixed yearly sum to the Porte as tribute or indemnity, or what ever else the parties may agree to call it. In the event of all opposition to this arrangement on the part either of Greece or Turkey, force is to be resorted to, to reduce the disientient to terms. This project the Courts of Vienna and St. l'etersburgh are said to have settled definitively, and to have communicated to Great Britain and France. The French Ministry is said to have not yet riven any an swer, while the British tiovernment objects decidedly to the plan. The last letters from Mexico give the most flattering account of the internal condition of that State. The King of Prussia has prohibited all lotteries of estates in his don:inions, and even the sale ‘f tickets in fereign lot teries ;, ; . _ AUSTRIAN POLITICAL. CATECHISM.

AMERICAN MINING COMPANIES. LAWYEES AND LEIIIII.+TORS, OR NOTES ON TIIE AMERICAN SItNIWO COS(PJ Murray. • 'e have her, a writer who argues, with great force of reasoning, as well as with a vivacity and shrewdness, which keeps the readers attention always alive to the subject tinder discuss!on. Those who are interested in the Ame rican Mining Companies, will not fail to rise from the perusal of this pamphlet with entire satisfaction, and will feel themselves relieved from the influence of drat dictatorial authority which it is so well calculated• to. counteract, while its animadversions lead to truths which would not otherwise have been adverted .to; its facts are forcibly put, and fully bear out the conclusions drawn from them. It is preceded by a neat and classical dedication to the Right I op. G FOROI CAXNINO, whosscommanding talon t., and valuuble application of them, the language of eulogy parmot previa*. The highest tribute of praise is likewise given, in the course of these pages, to the sound ind statesman-likc. ;Views of Lord Livi.aroot., and Mr. Husk, ssoN, and the reflective good sense with which they have withstood al; legislative tampering with i%oint-Stbek Colnpanies. 01 . 1 the more immediate subject of the American Mining Companies, after bringing the circumstances which give rise to them concha:ly before the reader, the writer *dela— " Diu it is an incontestible fact .14c3, that the inhabitants of America ceased to work their mines on.y on accoent of wars and rem - slut:one; that tbe year immediately preceding the lireaking out of these wars and "evolutions, these mines were more productive than in any other year f ur a century an d a halfback; that during these wars and revolutions many of the rich families who supplied the capital by which these mines were worked, were either imp°. verished or banished, and that during these troubled times the mines became inundated, and that in many instances the mining works were burnt. " The oldest of the Companies rhichl have been formed for working these mines has, existed only fifteen months; many of them have not been befarethe public one quarter of a year. Yet the Companies which hane been longest formed are scene''y in pos session of mines, and although this possession commenced but eight months ago, nevertheless accredited and official ,deices have been received, that by the operation of these Companies the mines of the richest distficts are at this time plentifully producing ore, although few of the improrements which had been contemplated had been then teaorted to. Mont, ought not the wise legislators of a free and consul...eclat people to encourage and to support under.. takings which tend so enrich a considereitle body of the inhabitants of this country, which create a dem a nd fur Briush machinery, and employ British shipping? Thus far for the,interest of redetached body, to fight whose battle these pages are not written. We trust that we come forward on more public grounds, and are actuated by weightier reasons. " It is because the mining interest to . America is as the manufac turing interest to England ; it is because the precious metals are the staple commodities of America; it is because the most popu lous cities, towns, and "tillages, the richest districts, the most em. ' played and consuming population, were situated and existed in parts of America where the mines were worked ; it is because, on the ceasing of the mining operations, tha population of chase cities dirni. nisheel two-thirds. the towns beca mei utterly depopulated, the villages in ruins, and instead of being inhabited by an employed, w eat thy, and consuming population. the mining districts became the retreat el robbers, the seat of misery and starvation ; it is because it is the opinion of the v inn and moat enlightened men of these countries, that' it can only be by the introduction of new capital. that their splendor. and prosperity can be revived ; that the working of these mines could not be resumed until the water had been discharged, and to effect that the wipers, poor in the midst of riches, hare nei. ther, the machinery relaired to accomplish it, nor the capital to procure them;' it is because we feel that tine working of the Ame rican mines by the English Companies must, by pouring capital into the mining districts ' revive their splendor and prosp e rity, in crease the population of the countries in which these mining dis tricts are situated, enforce them to develop their own immense natural resources, and exchange their productions for our own ; it is because these Companies introduce at the same moment, into coun ties convulsed by recent revolutions, mankind's best friends-- science, capital, and labour; it is, because we feel that the prospe. city of England mainly ,depends upon its relations with America. and that in proportion as the energies of America are developed and her resources strengthened, will the power and prosperity of England be confirmed and increased, that we would demand of our legislators whether, as the Ministers of a free, a commertial, and a powerful people, they ought --not merely to leave the American Mining Companies aemoleated, but to assist their agency, patro. . tie* their plans, and encourage their efforts ? " The ft:cm which we have stated are incontestible ; they are facts which no one versed in the history of America can have the hardihood to deny. On what possible grounds, therefore, we may ask, can these undertakings be denounced as rash and ruinous ape. culatione, as reflecting little credit on their promulgators, and en tailing certain ruin on their supporters ? " When we see the wisdonrofJqgea and the policy of Senators, the denunciations of Law and the invectives of Parliament, alike arrayed against us, we should be tempted to believe that mit judg. ment was erroneous. Fortunately, however, the antagonists of iris Mining Companies have been pleased to enfotee their anathema, by facts, and have occasionally substantiated their generalities ty detail. It is because we have found these facts to be erroneous, and this detail utterly incorrect, that we feel our respect climienhed for the opinions of these great authorities, however logically de duced, and however skilfully their conclusions may be drawn. We conceive that the opinions which hare been expressed on the Ame rican Mining Companies, in the late discussions both in Courts of Equity anti Houses of Parliament, originate in some instances from possessing erroneous information, and is others from possess. log no information whatever." The part so injudiciously taken by the Loan C HAN .. CELLoa, and the injurious result, to many, of his incon. &Aerate and premature interference with the employment of capital, is commented upon with equal justice and seve rity. Pottle well-deserved strictures are likewise passed upon the course pursued by Mr. BA al vc. Mr. Baring is a highly respectable individual. He is a sort of authority, as authorities run, although certain opinions delivered by him during one or two late Seniors have made some shrewdly suspect, that the spirit which inspires the speeches of Mr. Bating is not precisely the prophetical offorris. Mr. Baring is the pro.. prictor of a princely fortune, acquired c hi e fly, we believe, by ho nourable and judicious enterprise. A e" portton of that fortune was accumulated by managing the French loan, a transaction which was considered for a considerable time by the majority of the nation as • ' delusion,: as a transaction which would most pro. bably terminate in the ruin of half the bankers of Pant, and entail destruction on large bodies of individuals both in France and Eng. land. We are not stating these circumstances as tending in any way to taint the fair fame of lilt. Baring : far from it. We only plenum them to show that the majority were, as they often are, completely in error, and that the undertaking, which, it was ex peeted, would have ended in the ruin of so many persons, and which was looked upon as a complete' detusion,' ultimately turned out to be exactly the meat, and to produce effects exactly con. trary. " We were therefore somewhat surprised to find Mr. Baring en. hated In the ranks of the adversaries of the American Mining Com. panic,, and using, in reference to them, the identical expres.ions. with which the public honoured Mr. Baring's French loan ; expire. dons which that gentleman never could have fergottem and which his very speaking in the House must have reminded him of being utterly fate and unfounded. " Mr. Baring commenced his observations by deploring the gambling mania at present abroad.' The evil was zerminly one which ought to be checked, though he hardly knew how the check should be applied. The remedy would be worse than the disease, if. in putting a stop to this evil, they put a step to the spi r i t o f en. terpriem That spirit was productive of so much benefit to the community, that he should be sorry to see any person draw a line between fair enterprise and extravagant speculation.' Titus far we are not tempted to take any note of the Hon. Member's remnrks, he having resembled very much as yet in hi s o b servat i ons, an old end zealous anti-papist, of whom many of our readers have, per.. haps. heard, and who was wont to hold theological controversies by himself,his left hand representing the Pope, and his tight the Archbishop of Canterbury. " Awakes louder and a loftier strain.' The lion. Member be. tiered that all the mining speculations would turn out to be delu. dons, and that many innocent persons who had embarked theta little capital in them, with the expectation of realising large for. tunes, would be awaker.ed some day unpleasantly from their dreams of grandeur, by the intelligence that their all was lost. The great mistake under which the uninformed part of the public laboured was this : that their interference in the Spanish American mines would render them much more productive than they had formerly been. Be believed that the skill with which these mines was worked was little understood by the public. Ender the Austrian Government, heavy and stupid as it was, the gold mines of Hun. gary were worked with a science and skill which could not be ex. ce , ed. The same, he had reason to believe, had been the case with the mines of Spam. lie expected that the Cornish miners. experienced as they were, would carry as much presumption as skill to the new task in which they were going to engage.' " This statement of Mr. Baring produced a very great perm. lion. It has been publicly stated, that great sales took cal_. •, n the shares of the American Mining Companies in cen , oricreo of it. • ~ ,1 Pow Associ tice part in uaMvatbcr trpi ohe fi for r i n a who nti o w osnen t o r i o s te a ns describe,c: dir e ct o r publish similar hihmei some m o aspi f ie o wtre ei i s h t fl i o e s te I L i yl undLag: e n l nins f igi e t n a n x .o no k i . ocatefEnchin tlrning z otit a sh ae p u le. . called mentnry statement.° d by : r " . .. tes "rpe i: egr i at ee di : a t cei er f Iri t e ' a nindio .ntltlyst In n 3 s id . r. inymediabers any the statement of 31r.
