Continent, u we have already remarked, is not such at this moment as to lessen the alarm which their bigotry and fair ambition bas so strongly revived. It is scarcely pos sible for philanthropy to contemplate their proceedings in France and in Spain, without breathing out her universal good-will to man in curses against so cruel and remorelem a superstition. With ey, iv this age of reasoning, the ab horrence which their intolerant spirit excites may prevent it from spreading, and Ireland may be quite safe from its ipOntagion ; but as Protestants it is well that we should keep our eye upon its progress, The could it exist here in equal force, and act with equal energy, it would persecute, oar Church Establishment to extinction. It is this tear, that, whether well or ill grounded, leads the majority on &beide the Channel to look with distrust on the federative anion of five millions of Irish Catholics ; and this distrust must necessarily be augmented by any apparent inclination on their part to carry their point by faction or by force. Those Irish Journals which speak so strongly of the renewal of the Association and the Rent, act in the spirit of adversaries of the cause they mean to support. If we should wax at last to think that it is out best policy to accept of the many broad hints they are daily giving us of the strength of the Catholics, the measures of precaution which such menaces would warrant, would be such as we suspect would place the success of their claims at an im measurable distance, and would leave them a long interval to repent of, having lost by their rashness all the ground they had gained by their moderation. The Howe of Commas sat last night only a few bows. The (ray tattiness of importance was, that Mr. Huse ISION brou k ht up the Report of the Committee appointed to twitch the Journals of the House of Lords respecting the progress of the Warehoused Corn Bill. The Right Hon.' Gentleman gave notice that he should this day move for leave to being in another Bill on that subject, and also for regulating the importation of Corn from Canada. CITY, WZDNESDAY Evaxaxo. Ice tbe stir part of the morning tie business was !hutted ill the British Stock Market ; but, towards the middle of the day, some large transactions took place. at least they may be so considered, when it is recollected that Census are closed. The Reduced An. atones win done at 90i j, and Consols for the Opening at 91{ tei f. By these quota/lens it will be seen that a very slight reaction for the worse occurred at the close of the market. In the Foreign Market the principal attention was attracted to the Spanish Securitiea, in convequeoce of in article that appeared in the British Press of this morning, relative to the conclosion of the longisoding negotiation for a new Spanish Loan, the progress of 'bids we hays from time to timewptified. The Bonds of 1821 were st and those of 11123 184 19. Very large bargains were demob both these Securities.

The Scrip wee to.day at 12 IS discount, and the Bonds at IS IL With the exception of Spanish Bonds, indeed, all Poetise Securities receded * little et tbe end of the day. Colom. hien Bonds were at 1164 f, and Maxima Scrip at 34 g discount. Brazilian ditto was at IS discount, and the Danish at 4 $4 die. mum. In the Share Market the trarisacttoos were confined to the Pasco. Peruvian Shares, which were &ea at 111 191. The new Potosi Compaey's Shoes were *ft, sad those at the Oatmeal hinting Association at 19 Ilk The bullion in the Cabala! Market proved dist there was great steadiness in the prices of Coffee, Sugar, and Anna. isiteminestameeme Accounts have been received from Lima of the 3d, and from Guayaquil of the 90th of February. Callao was close ly blockaded ; four sail of Cbilian vessels of war, and two 1 caring Colombian colours, were before the place. The' storming of the fort was expected to be attempted in a few days.--Thae had been great mortality amongst the troops which bad come to Guayaquil, from Panama ; 1800 were reported to have died; the remainder of them had been sent in transports to assist in the attack on Callao. The Supplement to the Calcutta Government Gazette, of the 7th of k ebruary, contains a detailed account of the sue t:mild operations of the troops under the command of Co lonel Richards, in Assam. The success of these operations bad the effect of driving the enemy upon Jorehat, which place they have since abandoned, burning the stockades, and have concentrated their whole force, scarcely 2,000 strong, at Rungpore, the capital of Eastern MUM. It is now known certainly, that the late Burman Governor of Assam, called the Boors Raja, and his son, bad been put to death by the adherents of Sam Pbookun, previously to their alandoningrJorehat. The Duke of Bedford Indianan has arrived. She sailed from Bombay 6n the 27th of January, and after having touched at Tillicherry and Ceylon, quitted the Cape on the lath April, and St. Helena on the 27th April. She has brought letters from Ceylon dated the 19th February, but they contain no news. The Castle Forbes has also arrived; but her communications, both from the Mauri tius and St. Helena, are of a very old date. The following is an extract of a priiste letter from Paris :—" In order to cover the ungracious refusal of the King to attend the ball purposed to be given by the Duke of North umberli.nd, in honour of the Coronation ) we are stow told that a similar refusal was made to the Austrian and Russian Ambassadors.—The Duchess of Northum berland, taking it for granted that here, as in Englrinti, the' , wives of the Ambassadors would form a portion of the, splendid company at the Coronation, provided, at an enor mous expense, a dress which would have done honour to her rank, and to the official character of her husband. On the eve of her departure for Rheims, she was informed that no accommodation had been provided for the wives of the Ambassadors, but that as her Grace wished to attend, a seat would be placed for her in the Tribune of the Diplomatic Body. Whether her Grace considered that a plan had been contrived to render her appearance singular, or that her' delicacy alone suggested to her the impropriety of a single female appearing in so prominent a st.aion, amongst a body of men, appearing only in an official capacity, re mains unknown ; but she very naturally declined to avail herself of the offer.—From all that 1 could collect from a quarter where 1 am not likely to be misinformed, our Am bassador Extraordinary has not received officially those at. tendons to which his rank, the nature of his mission, and the particular circumstances of his personal sacrifices, enti tled him to. At Rheims, although honoured by the spe cial notice of the King, who seemed rather ashamed of the conduct of his Minis:era, the general feeling towards the Duke was anything but Letters from the Cape of Good Hope, dated the 6th of April, mention that Mr. Bresler, one of the Members of the Court of Justice, had committed suicide. The Co.. vernar had returned from his journey into the interior. The exchange was at 180 per cent. premium. A XSTIIIDSII Qua a as.----A rather singular circumstance her lately happened at Amsterdam. Some Quaker pro prietors of a house in that city had let it for a length of time, on condition of not having anything to do with the repairs, &e. After fourteen years had elapsed, they wished to take the property into their own hands, but the occupier opposed them, asserting he had acquired the right of pro perty by prescription. Amicable propositions were made but rejected, and the Quakers were obliged to have re course to the law, which decided in their favour • but when the execution of the ejectment was to be put in execution, the occupier prepared to resist, and barri caded the doors. A police-officer, accompanied by two locksmiths and his assistants, were in consequence sent. The summons to abandon the house was made in due form, and the locksmiths were about to open the door, wizen a notary popped his head out of the window above, and pro. tested in proper form against their proceedings. His threats shook their relblution, and each time they were ordered by the police-officer to break open the door, the notary thundered above. But at last a great crowd collect ina, and joining with the besiegers, the besieged, seeing ell hopes of victory vanished, vanished themselves by means of a back door, and thus abandoned the house to ite ( tns,ters, the Quakers. LITERATURE. We extract the following stanzas from the beautiful tale of The Arabi, by H. A. DitIVLI:- The sun Is up ; and music's joyous strain Salutes him, as, enrobed in gold, again He comes front his pavilion of the but. Silence—the sentinel of Sleep-had ceast His vigil ere the dawn ; the murmuring druid, The eyrtibal's silvery clash, the busy hum Of s'irring troopers, and the neigh of steed, Tell that the mimic war of the Jerreed Is destined for the Perlis's sport to-day ; The court-yard glitters with the proud array, Whilst gathering groups, in silken panoply, And crappie.' beti and robes of every dye, Militia - Or Asian chivalry.

Br his fair clustering locks of auburn, bright With the sun's hue , midst beards as black as night, By the warm rose which blooms but on the cheek • Of climes wherein the dower is wan and week, By the mild eye cerulean, and the grace Anti livelier beauty of his form and face, One casual glance might single from the rest The Stranger Knight--the Warrior of the West, ntin oft he Paths greets ; and, side by side, They sally forth, like chiefs by war ; And, prancing to the silver clarion's bray, Wind slowly down the Valley's devious way. The field of spun was near the vale's extreme; And, d'er it, with its gilded turrets reared Alidsitrroves of tamarinds, burnished by the gletturi Of Day's young smile, hiond's kiosk appeared. Within die calm of those voluptuous bowers The tyrant will consume the sultry boon In Pleasure's silken lap ; and, rising when The day *hall fade, *di cross the tale again. Zobeida, for whose eyes such scenes passrst But slight attraction since her chikliah days, Looked on them pew with ;hat quick interest Which shows the mind is restless as the • Ask ye the cause ?—what is it makes the heart Droop when we see whom most we lave depart ? 'Midst our best hopes our Nero will still repeat One thrilling doubt, " We never more may met:" She knew no cause to dread impending ill; Enough—they parted ; could her hear. be still? Long did her eyes pursue the martial throng; As key appeared. at intervals, among The ileopening foliage, whence, in glimpses briight, Thole batidshed anns fl ashed back the morning light I But *ha amidst its umbrage son no ir - .ore, (luahed firth tie Unconscious tear ;—the charm was o'er. Her sleep bad been perturbed, amidst her dreams A thousand shapeless, shadowy things had past, Too wild and vague for methory ; brit the gleams Of oat fair scene still lingered—'twas the last. She thought that u she wandered on the strand Of some wide, dusky sea, a distant land Appeared in view whose shorn were girt with Sam; But from whose depths soft sounds and incense came, More sweet than aught by glowing Fancy glue, to gayut visions of the Prophet's heaven. There was a something urged her, like • spell, To cross Oil uncertain deep ; and yet the swell Of interposing billows, and the shade Which veiled her round, her eager steps forbade. As thus she stood, and turned her tearful eyes, Imploringly, towards the rayless skies, A bright stir crossed the gluon, and seemed to rest • Above her head—then sank upon her bteast: And there 'teas held by an ethereal Whose links were all of pure, celestial rays ; And, When she looked upon the star again, 'Twos rooked to a gear; but did not blase Like Imo eir hearth, uor yet one line impart Tedium the eye—hut it Moused her heart. =its power, she saw the shadows glide off the oeesn, and its waves subside ; The distant Ised grew more distinct and ?air; Her feet seemed plumed upon the buoyant air; And, with a spirit's power, el* glided o'er The far expanse, until she neared the shore ; When on bee view such dauling glory broke, The e siseelod by the vision, she awoke. Thew is, perhaps, in all our dreams some clue, Sams thread, untraceable by mortal view, WA* in the mystic web of Fancy wrought, SeUll Will connexion with our waking thought : *season's wanderings oft confirm the will ; And shadows aid us to fulfil good, and tie the wavering heart. rz Wen si erbelief, Zobeida wore that gem, An we shot fell from Faith's bright &Wan, SWUM' her bosom—never to depart. Yesterday afternoon, about two o'olock, his Majesty ar rived at his Palace in Pall-mall from the Royal Lodge, Windsor, in his travelling carriage, escorted by a party of the 7th Hussars. In a short time after, the King signified his commands to receive the Duchess of Cambridge and his Royal nephew and niece—the Prince George nod the Prin cess. Augusta Amelia of Cambridge. At three o'clock the royal party waited upon his Majesty, accompanied by the ' Duke of Cambridge. The Duke of York and the Duchess of Gloucester paid visits to the King yesterday. On Tuesday evening the Puke and Duchess of Cara bridge honoured the Italian Opera House with their pre sence.

Tate Cm cacm.—By the death of Dr. Gerrard Andrews, the Deanery of Canterbury and the Rectory of St. James's, Westminster, become vacant. The Honourable and Venerable Archdeacon Percy succeeds, it is said, to the former, and the Rev. Mr. Oakley, Domestic Chaplain to the Bishop of London and Vicar of Ealing, to the latter. A valuable stall will become vacant in Canterbury Ca thedral by the advancement of Archdeacon Percy to the Deanery. The Bishop of Down and Connor (Dr. Marsh), who preached so eloquently at St. Paul's, on Thursday last, was so overcome by the exertion, that he has since remained in a state of great indisposition. It is not generally known, we believe, that the price for adttrission into Westminster Abbey at Poets' Owner, has been within the last fortnight reduced to threepence, for which sum the person admitted is allowed also to go into the nave west of the organ loft. Sir Robert Moorsotu, K.C.R.Vice-Arhniral of the White, and Commander-in-Chief at Chatham, hoisted Red at the Nore on Monday last, under a salute of nine guns from the Prince Regent, in consequence of the promotion that has taken place. Captain E. D. King has been appointed to the Windsor Castle ; and • Captain Walter Bathurst to the Genoa, at Plymouth.

Mr. Richard Martin, it will be seen, hu given notice of ' a motion, for this evening, for the appointment of a Select Committee, to " inquire whether the practice of Bear baiting, and other cruel sports, has a mischievous effect on the morals of the people."

The Turks have just been beat In dui vtclafty Of Atwater it is calculated that their forces amounted to 20,001. The fight lasted till sunset, when the Alba oians took to flight, rejoined Runseli Valeti, their Generalissimo, and took the road to their own homes. In this battle the brave Nicetas (surnamed Turcophagos) per. formed prodigies of valour; he penetrated into their ranks, and spread slaughter around him. His companions thought him lost, when after three hours he returned to them, and inspired them with new ardour. Sword in hand he conducted them to the attack, and pursued them for six hours : 3,000 Turks were left on the fi e ld o f battle, 000 wounded have been transported to Salami (four leagues to the south of Arta).

A correspondent of the Mauritius Genetic writes, that on visiting Manilla in September last, a short time after the restoration of the Royalist Government, he found that city very much beneath its reputation in other countries, as to commerce. Since Spain has lost Mexico, Manila having no longer a direct communication with Acapulco, from whence came every year a considerable quantity of piastres, has lost tnueh of its former splendor. business is at a stand-still, end money very scarce. Wines, liquors, and all provisions generally, pay a duty of SO per cent. upon their estimated value ; other goods pay loi per cent. Everything that comes from Spain in ships of that country, pays no duty. The duty of SO per cent. having been laid' on by the Constitutional Government, it was not known whether tit; King would restore things to their former footing. '~: Y.

With respect to markets, Bangkok was described as being well, If not over, stocked with British and Indian goods. The old trade from Surat and Bombay is very ,early done up by the super:or cheapness of the goods imported from Singapore, and it is not improbable will henceforth be disconti. DEMERARA. --........-- We have received letters a nd papers from Demerara to the 12th of April, the former of which contain the proclamation of Sir B. D'Urben, fixing the rate of taxation of that colony for 1821. The poll tan on each slave, whether infants or adults, is deed at four guilders, except on persons either proprietors, renters. or oecuplers of any plantation cultivating sugar, rum p raolaases, coffee, or cotton, and all others who pay the income tax derived from the labour of those slaves. The income tax of 18 . 14 is continued, anti the duty on wine is fixed at 66 guilders per pipe of one hundred and ten gondol, if is wood, or two guilders per down if in bottle, with the exception of port wine, which remains at one guilder per dares. The duty on spirits li fixed at one guiltier per gallon, and a draw. back of Shy guilders is allowed per pipe on all wine exported from the colony, which has lint paid the import duty. All transient traders not residing in the colony, arriving after the 17th March last, with goods and merchandise of any description, were subject to a colonial tax of five per cent. ad valorem on the tame, but this duty was not to extend to the cargoes front the United States, which were 'beady liable to very heavy duties, nor to vessels arriving from the colonies of British North America, which are exempt front the tax. Various other taxes on local productions, carriages and hones, dm. are declared in the same proclamation. A second proclamation of March 11l states, that the Lieutenant- Governor had determined to levy the capitulation tax for 1823, at the rate of three guilders ten savers, respectively, for each working male or female slave above ta she years of age, and one guilds foe all children from three to twelve years.
