John uu:i. h Ball lebe rural Comm meal publv.limg yestorday morning -• • • • Unis is th' fourth day since the arrival of any intelli gence from France, on account of the adverse and violent winds. The last papas we had were those of this day week, with the dated Saturday, but really publ'slied on the previous i veiling. If the french Ea NG'S Spceeh, en cpening the Chambers, should reach us before our pub i..stiuti is concluded, we ahar give it inin.ediate The intelligence received yesterday from Mexico, by way of New York, gives a gratifying, and. ire have no doubt, a correct representation of the state of drains in that lidera don. The new constitution Las been finally ratified by the licueral Congrass ; and the first President of the United Mexican States, General Vicroala, has been ;nail guested into office. Bite vo has also taken the oaths as Vice-President, and the public mind was liil.d with joy and confidene". We have some mention al-:o of the new Republic of Central America, formerly the Audieneia of Guatimala, which the veracious Ft.i le announced some months ago to have utterly disappeared, in consequence of the defeats of Bor.:VAR 1 It appears, however, that this new government, instead of fading from existence, is augmenting its territory by amicable arrangements with the neighbouring Union of the Mexican States. Two provinces, Chiapa and Soconusco, which each of these Rrpublia was desirous to include within its limits, have been, with the consent of both, allowed to choose to which they should belong. One has incorporated itself with Mexico ; the other with Guatimala. The local authorities of Yucatan have assumed the right of suspending the operation or 90111 C general laws of the Mexican federation, and the Supreme Congress have directed an inquiry into the subject, but no dissension seems to have resulted or to be likely to result. The trade of this province is principally with the Havanna'', and it was known to bear with impatience the restraints upon itecotn mercial intercourse. There was no apparent reason to dread any general interruption of the public tranquillity. The death of Uremiva has evidently annihilated the hopes of the factious. The Annual General, Meeting of the Shipowners Society yesterday, was rendered more than usually interesting, by the references made to the sound and liberal principles on which his MAJESTY*/ Ministers arc acting with respect to the trade and navigation of the country. Ott the commencement of the New Year, the important Sta tutes enacted during the last Session of Parliament will come into operation ; and it is highly gratifying to find the enlightened merchants of the city of London offering 'the expressions of their perfect approbation of the course pursued by Government; indeed the great benefits tha t will result front the consolidation and amendment of the laws relating to commerce must be obvious even to those who are nut exposed to the practical inconveniences of the confusion and uncertainty formerly existing on this subject• The opening of the Committee's Report adverted to the bills introduced by Mr. Maas as, at the close of last session, for repealing all the present laws of Custom., and com prising, under four new statutes, all the legislative pro visions which it is deemed c.pedient to retain. The laws relating to the Customs now in force are no fewer than 469 in number. The consolidating of the Navigation Laws, according to the statement of Mr. Pow Les yesterday, has rendered them so easily intelligible, that "any Shipowner may make his shipmaster understand the whole tendency of them in a week." A similarly advantageous consequence will accrue from the projected consolidation of the Laws of Customs. The electioneering contest which has agitated the Ward of Farringdon Without for three days, terminated last night very singularly. The candidates between whom the struggle seemed to lie have all been returned, and two old servants, to whose election no party objected, have been ?e -jected. It appears from the speeches at the close of the poll, that great disgust had been excited by the proceed ings of a self-constituted junta, or ward-club, who had assumed the patronage of the representation, and the object of the householders was chiefly to abate this nuisance. Hence we find those candidates ranking mum:tic:illy, ac cording, to the resistance they made to this tkt-rading and offensive system, by which the Common Councilmen of the IVard were, if they would submit, in fact re duced to abject dependence on the will of some other whs., unknown, and perhaps obscure individuals. Mr. GALLO WA Y, who was list year excluded on account of a toast, supposed, but cl. arty (according to his expla nation on Tuesday) erroneously supposed, to imply his approbation of the infidel writings of Paine, was restored to his seat in the Civic Parliament, by, we believe, a larger timber of votes than he had ever before received. The Ward had apparently one chief object in view, and that they fully accomplished. The nominees of the club were alone rejected ; and as we really wish well to the freedom of election, in its full and proper sense, we congratulate the Ward upon the scant( of their efforts to put down the contemptible body of dictators that presunied to determine who should be their representatives. The efforts to spread an alarm as to the explosion to be apprehended in Ireland, go on as briskly as ever. Sir 11A6COCAT LEES would fain persuade us that the Protest ants are all to have their throats cut some fine morning ; and, to he sure, if the Catholic body consisted of such clacked subjects as Sir HAIRCOITAT, not a Protestant old lady would get a wink of sleep. The truth is, that the Orange faction do not, in their hearts, believe that there is any real danger to the Church, or even to the Church-porch. Their alarm arises from a very different source; they fear that the collective voice of the Irish nation, together with the detail of its wrongs and sufferings, will at length pro duce. an investigation, on the part of the British Parlia ment, into the origin of those wrongs, and the train of those sufferings; sud that this may lead to the restikting the PaoveieraNzs to their just rights under the Consti tution, and to the restoring to the CATHOLICS flair jus t rights ; and that the system of government in Ireland may be made to rest on that solid basis of justice which it is the anxious wish of his MAJLITT that it should rest, and on the principles of which it has been the earliest and suc cessful endeavour of the LOAD Li TENANTCU to administer it. The Orange zealots are violent in their outcry against the bigoted and exterminating spirit which they say is in the very 'narrow of the Catholic priesthood ; and they give them selves the praise of great fmnleration, as pursuing their oppo nents no further than as " 14ra:sprits OF THZ FAITH, WWI so . forth," they arc under the painful necessity of doing. They remind us, in this respect, of KEN sanv, a moderator of the Scotch Assembly, who, in one of his prayers, has this passage:—" Good Lord, I think it best to make a clean house, by sweeping them (the Episcopalians) all out at the dour; and casting them out to the midden (dunghill)." The spirit of thi s 211,nbratur and his balmy caustic, displays itself very frequently in sectarian contests. Some there are, of both parties, who, we have no doubt, would willingly reform both Church and State, after the manner of NA LYON, who, in a FAST SERMON, 111 - CACIIOII before the House or Commons, April W, 164 U, thus entreats them to t zercise their spiritual authority :—" You have the broom .Ib . .formation in your hand; for the Lord Jesus' sake do somewhat to cleanse us —sweep the ('naacm, US well as :he COICAONWLALTII." We have no apprehension, how ever, that the spirit of reform is at all likely to take this elliptical diicetion, although we are at the same time not insensible to the danger that may arise from any Association engendered in religious zeal, which frequently carries the best limn down the same current with the worst. We by THE BRITISH . PRESS. no means consider the present uabraccd state of things in Ireland, as a state of security ; but whatever measures are to be adopted for dissolving the Catholic Association—if it shall be thought expedient to dissolve it—we hope they will be foundtxl on those enlarged and statesman-like views, which will have for their object the removal of those long-exiating grievances in which it originator. Combinations of all kinds are bad ; but we must look steadily at the objects which give them birth, when we resolve to put them down: it they arise out of a mis chievous disposition—if they arc a muster of strength, for factious purposes, and with evil designs—the Go vernment should at once arm itself against them, and crush them at a blow. But if the people so combining oppose themselves only to oppression—if it is found that the many are goaded by the few until their patience and long-siffering is exhausted, and they are driven to seek relief in their own energy and their own courage; in this case, the rtnudy must he of another kind: it may not, perhaps, be so readily within reach, but it is not so far to seek but that MS MAJESTY'S Ministers, if they seek it in sincerity, may find it. We trust that Parliament will, next Session, legislate fur the future Typ:ea Ireland ; that it will look neither to Protestant ascendancy nor to Catholic subjection—neither to a reigning nor to a rising faction ; but will examine steadfastly all those wrongs which a series of ages has begotten, and which a leng abuse of power has consolidated, and will dissolve the Catholic Association by acceding to whatever claims shall in fairness be found to be equitable, and by removing whatever grounds of com plaint must conscientiously be admitted to he just. The evil has become of too great magnitude to admit of any other cure, and matters have gone too far for compromise. If, in the present condition of Ireland, we attempt to give peace to her on any other terms, or., through any other scheme of policy, the further we advance the more we shall he bewildered; and if great danger exists—as it is said to do—how, we would ask, and when, if the causes are not removed, is that danger to end? Accounts from the Cape of Good Hope to the 16th October state, that the money subscribed in London (5,000!.) for the distressed emigrsnts at the Cape, had been received ; the amount appears to be given to them in blan kets, in household furniture, and various articles of hus bandry. It appears to have been distributed with great care, and with reference to their immediate wants. It had created great rejoicings among the poor settlers, who are represented to have sufft.red greatly from the dhow ! . imminent of their hopes as to the crops. A letter front Caracas hints at a revival of the project fin- uniting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, to effixt which it is asserted that it is only necessary to cut through a space of four miles, that separates the heads of rivets fall ing into the repective seas. Extract of a letter from Buenos Ayres, dated 4th Oc tober:—" We have had an extensive import of white cot ton goods of American manufacture, which bids fair to su persede the manufacture of the English goods of the same description. Mr. Secretary Canning has been confined to the Foreign Office, Downing-street, for the last three days with the gout, having been sized with it on Tuesday morning. The Right Hon. Secretary had taken up his residence at the Foreign 011 ice on Monday, and was attacked with a fit of the gout the next morning. Mr. Canning was very much indisposed with it yesterday. Their Graces the Hoke and Ihtchess of Pichmond are expected to return to Goodwood house by the end of the week. Lord Erskine, family, and suite, leave West Grinstead Park the sth of January, for Wurtemb , rg ; Mr. Whitahrd (only 6011 of die Admiral ) accompanies his Lordship as Secretary to the Einbarsv, to the above Court. . .• The Earl of Lonstlal,; Sir J.

GRETNA Gatiact: EXMRIICIN.—OR Tuesday morning last, before day-break, Captain Gore, with Miss Beddoes, of Loudgeville, Salop, passed through Chester, in a chaise ■nd four, on their way to the liytncnial blacksmith, at Gretna Green. They changed horses at the Royal Hotel, and proceeded with great rapidity on their Journey.— They had been rivetted only two or three hours, when the lady's friends, in hot pursuit arrived, but " the deed was dune." The celebrated Jeremy Bentham, of London (says a Dublin Paper) has written to the Catholic Association, enclming them his subscription of Five Pounds towards the Catholic Rent. It is caleulattll that upwards of twenty thousand houses have been Weil to the metropolis, upon an average of the last three years. It is now finally determined to execute the new line of road from Leeds to Shipley. Un lVcdnesday morning the delivery of letters through the General Post Otlice was delayed considerably after the usual hour, in consequence of the IVarwick mail having Wen accidentally upset near Windsor. An apothecary reproached an attorney with the number of strange words which the law indulged in, and among others. asked what was meant by the words " Docking an entail !" " Why doctor," replied the lawyer, "it is doing what you will nut do with your patients—it is sdliring a, recovery." Yesterday, at Erans's, a copy of Wells's Xenophon, five volumes Mo., large paper, sold for 138/. 11s. A copy of Horace, the Cambridge edition, with manuscript notes, sold for 39 guineas. We understand that the first number of the British Magazine, which will he published on the Ist of January, will contain a powerful and comprehensive view of the character of the late Sir Samuel &mill' , ; and which has already excited so much interest in political circles as to have secured for the work a wide circulation among the Members of the Houses of Parliament. The poetry is also tiest-rate, and contains a poem of Hayley, never published, as well as some exquisite pieces front many of our most admired bards. It is, besides, embellished with plates; and bids fair to become entitled to a place in the library of the ad mirers of periodical literature, of either sex. An Essay cis Female Character is also highly spoken of. On Monday sennight an explosion of fire-damp took place at Foxhole colliery, near Swansea, by which four men were dreadfully scorated, but are in a fair way of re covery. On the following morning a second explosion occurred in the saute colliery. Six men, proceeding to their labour, the foremost earryinga lighted candle in his hand, cane iu contact with the noxious gas, and the consequence was, we regret to say, more fatal than in the former in stance; the man carrying the candle was so dreadfully burnt, that he expirea shortly after being carried to his house ; another has since died, and the other tour remain in a deplorable condition. The sentence of death that was passed on Crawford Dixon, late seaman of his Majesty's brig Swinger, at a Court-martial on board his Majesty's ship Victory, on the 30th of last month, has been cummuted to transportation for life to New Soutlt Wake. On Saturday, a man named Pat Smith, was shot at Allan's-town, county death, by Armstrong, a police con stable, who insisted that the unfortunate man had arms, concealed about his person. Smith lies in a very dangerous state.—Diain Paper. NEXT FAIDAY.—Bish reminds his friends that there is only.

The following lines, from the pen of Mr. Montgomery, are extracted from the " Literary Souveuir," a very ele gant Christmas prtscitt, full of pleasing poetry and inter esting tales, which arc interspersed with some beautiful etigravitipi : Friend after friend departs ; Who bath nut lost a friend ? There is no Imam: here of hearts That finds not here an et,d ; Were this frail world our final rest, Living or dying none were blest. Beyond the flight of time,— Beyond the reign of death.— There surely is some blessed clime here life is not a breath ; Nor life's affections transient fire, Whose sparks fly upwards and expire ? There is a world above, Where parting is nnknown ; A lung eternity of lure Formed for the good alone And faith beholds the dying here Translated to that glorious sphere Thus star by star deetnes, Till all are past away As morning high and higher shins.

INTERVIEWnfGENFRAL LA FAYETTE and the INDIAN'CHIEFS at WASHINGTON. (From the New York Aferrastik Advertiser of Nov. 30.11 On ‘Vislnesday last, the Delegation of the Choctaw Chiefs, at present in this city, repaired from their residence at Tennison's Hotel, to the quarters of General La Fayette, at Garlaby's. Major John Pitchlynn, their interpreter, having been introduced to Judge Brooke, was, by the Judge, introduced to the Gcueral, when the several Chiefs were, by name and title, successively resented by the 'Major to the Guest of the Nation. The Chief Alushalatubbee then spoke as follows: " Y are one of our fathers that fought in the war with (Jeneral Washington. We take you here by the hand as a friend and • tattier. We hare always walked in the white paths of peace; and in tinise 'Milli we have travelled t , visit you.

Vie have been neighbours to the French, neighbours to the Spaniards, and neighbours to the English ; but now our only neighbours are the Americans, in the midst of whom w* live as friends and bnithers." Pushatnata, a superior Chief, nest addressed General La Fayette in the following manner " About fifty years ago you drew year sword, the companion of General 'Washington. With him you travelled and warred again , : the enemies of America. In spilling the blood of your ftsps, you generously shed tour own, thereby consecrating your devotion to the cause in which you were cast-t,.:A.
