Pr r IFI .1/ ney, Pu which I have already alluded, without any previous communication to your Lordship, and in direct opposition to an instrnetion that must have then reached him. and that forcibly warned him of the conirquences. I cannot help regarding, therefore, the want of authority nllerd by Governor &lactic Wei, as • feeble and • 1/tte jnstifiestinn of himself for the delay 1 41 hart taken plice in undertaking the construction .r:f a house of reception for the female convicts at Paramattu; swell I think that this ground of jubtid cattott is still further weakened by • consideration f the Steens that he possessed of providing good 'rennin:lodation at a very moderate rate of expense. 'l'n accomplish this purpose, I cannot admit that an .eviwtitive building, or any architectural ornament, was tither necessary or desirable; the principal object tires was, that of preventing improper intercourse between the female convicts and themale inhabitants of the town and vicinity, and providing accommo. nation for them, in the hours of labour, until proper •vituations could be procured for them in the families B.f the settlers and inhabitants. The continuation of a wall, 12 feet in height, from the end of that which surrounds the gaol at Peramotta, and the complete enclosure of an acre and • half of ground, containing separate houses of wood, and one for a work-room, would, I conceive, have answered these pp,epnves entirely, and more effectually, than the Building that has lately been erected, and that was in progress on my arrival.

The test ?runs Madrid was stopped on Sunday - etening by the factieus at Salinas, two league. from Vittoria, so that we have no news from the provinces 'beyond the Ebro. Those from Biscay informed us Om the Pastor is daily engaged with the different -bands in that cotmtry, which continue to increase; They add, that the bomination of the new Ministry, nod that of mina to the command of Navarre and &scary, has given great satisfaction. - With respect to Navarre, we learn the complete Befkut of the constitutional troops, eighty in num heti' Nese Pampeluna. The defenders of the faith Hsitly increase, and organise their force in the moun tains; their 'needles it the Constitational troops, and have.treo succeeded in raising the district of Ihngstent; on the frontiers of Arragon. In short, if the Constitutional troops do not receive prompt succour, this province will become a second Cats .lunis, and Arragon will be in great danger ; for if the Royalists have not yet destroyed the troops of their adversaries, it can only be attributed to the indolence or to the excessive precaution of Quesada. In fact, the Apostolic Junta of Navarre has insisted on his dismissal, and it is said that this is the sole object of the departure of Colonel Cabra from Bayonne for Irati. If we may believe the accounts from Arragon arid those from Catalonis, brought by the pest from Oleron to-day, the Royalists are al most totally masters of this last province, which has just established at Urgel its Provincial Govern spent, of which the Marquis of Meta Florida is President. The Ampuradan, or more properly speaking the district of Gerona, had almost entirely risen en mane, and that place as well as Figueirss, was threatened by the Royalists. The district of Bar. celons was also beginning to take part in the revolt, arid the Constitutionalists hail concentrated them selves at Mauro. The moveable columns, com posed for the must part of militia from the first of those towns, haderbtained some sdvantsges over their adversaries, who had retired by Saitiarts into the mountains, where it was in vain to attack them. The Constitutional troops, who had been successful et Vich and Rods, had been obliged to retreat and fortify themselves in those two places. The districts of Campredon and Mattress were not in a more satis factory state. Olot, Boidelue, Manresa. and Berg., were engaged in a continued struggle with the Royalists. We do not speak of Pui cerda, where a levy en mane has taken place : it is well known that that place, Belver, and Urgel, are in the hands of the Insurgents, and that Or gap., •a is unable to resist. The district of Tarragona and pert of that of Ville Franche de Penadts, where moat of the reinforcements sent by the Government have strived, had been abandoned by the Royalists, part of whom had gone towards Tortoss, and the other part towards Turega and Lends, which at this moment must be in their power, unless Sarre goes has gent some aid ; for after their success at Mequinensi the Royalists directed all their force towards the first place, soil certainly the report of Military Commandant to the Government shews that it was impossible fur him to resist au attack. The diversion made in the district of Tortoss, and the appearance of a body of Royalists at Cell's, bud alarmed the frontiers of Valencia, whence troops Ira] set out for Tor -1051. 11l short, the situation of the Constituti onalists in Catalonia was such, that oil the gth of this month they were not only deprived of commu niestion with Madrid, but even the Commandants of the several districts could not correspond with each other, on account of the number of the guerillas, which is even more considerable than iu the last war with the French. It is difficult to imagine how the Government at Madrid will acquit \ itself in the present state of things; its situation calls for the display of great resources. The arrival of General Mina in Navarre will doubtless contribute to the pacification of this province, bid it remains to be seen whether Bal lasteros or Morillo (for both are spoken of) will ob tain the same success in Catalonia, considering the progress of the revolt, and the great support which the factious have in a foreign nation. The Consti tutionalists have certainly conceived hopes from the English nation, and even its Goverment, in whose favour they will make all possible sacrifices if it sup ports them in the struggle in which they are en gaged. The following is the manner in which the Liberal Journal of Si. &blatant expresses itself 011 this subject : " The day is not distant when we shall, perhaps, learn that a Treaty of Commerce Las hers concluded between our Government and that of Great Britain; it is even said that an silissee is in contemplation between Spain, Portugal, end England; that the last rower hag seat a note to the French G trent to require the dissolution of the Sanitary Cor don, mid to reprat the assurances of its resolution to main tain the order of things established in the Peninsula, It Is added that our Government has also twelve! a sop from the ilritish Cabinet, declaring that it will always support oar Constitutional System." In the same Journal we find the following pas sage: -- In this state of perfect health which the Peninsula em. jays, and the hope that is conceived that the epidemic dis ease will not re•eppesr in Catalonia, nothing can be more tidieslouis than this Sasitary Cordon, which serves only to harass travellers of both nations, and to fetter commerce. Let it be called a Cordon of Observation; well and good ; but then of what use are these Lazarettos, where the most robust nod healthy men may catch a disease during the filar orris days that obey are digitised. It is to be hoped, that as the yellow fever does not exist in any part of Spain, lb. French Government will abolish this ridiculous quarantine, and confine itself, if it sees good, to making its territory re spected by ibe Spanish bands of the two parties which might trespass on it, and introduce political c..ntegion. Nobody now egret, pretends to dissemble the protection which the French Government gives in the Spanish rebels clothing, ammunition, baits, bombs, cartridges, muskets, cannon, all nre before our eyes, and but a few days ago seve ral cannon were sent towards St. Jean Pied-de-Port, with six horses and too omen. It is generally believed that Spain can do no Ira. than declare war ageing that infamous Govern ment, which seems to provoke it by all kinds of mean and iniquitous aggressions; but if the Spasiards have the discre, lion not to met as agg►essors, sod only to be prepared to make reprisal., the opining and the efforts of the Spanish nation will go with them.''—{Liberal Goma:mane ) .

Constantinople, in its present state, is hardly to be r cognised, when compared with what it was only ■ short time ago. Every thing indicates peace, and the Porte hes never taker► •itch decisive steps to pre it as it now does. The day before yesterday the English Ambassador received an official note, informing him that the Porte (es we have already stated from other resource.) had appointed the Boyer Ghika Prince of Wallachia, and Stourdza Prince of Moldavia. In making this choice the Porte has fur the first time departed from its custom of choose ing Greeks residing in Constantinople, to fill those high offices. They are natives of the country and the Porte is said to have expressly excused itself in tins note for having departed from the ancient mode, because, under present circumstances, it could not possibly have sufficient confidence io Greeks, to put such important posts into their pos session. The evacuation of the two Principalities continnes without interruption, and mill be come plete before the arrival of the new Princes, who leave this city iu u few days. FRANKFORT, AUGUST 1.

Extract of a letter from our Consul at La Gusyra to his correspondent in this city, dated July 2, 1844: " Referring to former &deices, I have now to state that there_ is every appearance of a total glut of provisions and merchandise in this place, and that the high price and scarcity of produce make it ad visable to suspend any kind of adventure hither until a change takes place, of which I will endea vour to keep you advised. It is said that the ex port duties will be renewed on coffee and cotton in a few dip. Any quotations at present would be nominal." BOSTON, JULY 2i._ The British Minister, Mr. Cowling, and his Se cretary of Legation, Colonel Wilmot, will, we learn, set out to-morrow for the Manor of Carrolton, in Ma ryland, where, in compliance with the polite invita tion of its hospitable proprietor, they will pass a few days, and then proceed on a tour to the north. Mr. Parish, one of the Legation, will remain at Washington during the summer. Mr. Bsker, the British Consul-General, we re gret to state, left this city a few days ago in a bad state of health for Philadelphia, where he will re main for a time under the medical advice of an eminent physician of that city. Letters from St. Thomas's inform that a corvette. built ship, mounting IS guns, was fitted out at St. Thomas's, for the coast of Africa, under the com mand of a Frenchman. She bad 70 men shipped oil the Ist instant, and waited for 50 more, when she would sail without delay. This is the ship in which Dubois committed piracy upon the ship Or leans packet, of Philadelphia, and was formerly the United States' brig of war Prometheus, sold out of the service.—(Aorfolk Beacon.) (From the Buffalo Journal of July 18.] A company of English emigrant., consisting of about thirty souls, arrived here last week from Quebec, on their way to join the English colony planted by Mr. Birkbeck, in Illinois. They have with them young cattle, hogs, geese. &c. which they brought with them from England. The whole company is in good health and high spirits. 'I h e se people came out a. emigrants to the Canada., and by lauding at Quebec, have helped to swell the lists of " emigrauts to the provinces" that have been published from time to time in that city.

The Emperoi l tafflussta is expected to arrive in Vienna nn the 6th or 7th of next month, for the purpose of assisting at a Congress of the Sovereigns or representatives of the several great Powers of Europe. A flamburgli Paper in announcing this intelligence adds, that the King of PRUsst♦ will not attend at this Congress, and that a great mystery seems to prevail respecting it. There are two sub jects which at the present crisis might properly oc cupy the attention of a Congress, namely, the pro priety of putting an end to the inhuman warfare that rages between the Greeks and Turks, and of recognising freely the independence and sovereign ty of Mexico, Colombia, Buenos Ayres, Chili, and Peru. In observing, however, that such topics might properly occupy the attention of the assem bled Kings and Minister', we do not mean to imply that the several Powers of Europe might not with far greater propriety determine within their respec tive Cabinets upon the line of policy which they 'ought severally to pursue upon these two important subjects. If it be an advantage to any State to act in conformity with its Allier, this advantage may be sought in the ordinary way by negnciation ; but we have no hesitation in saying, that a govern ment compromises its own d.gnity, and betrays the true interests of the people intrusted to its care, if it should submit questions relating to the ex pediency of any proposed measures affecting the honour and well-being of the State to the judg ment and votes of foreign Potentates. The recent death of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY has ex cited in many minds an anxiety respecting the individual whom it may please the KING to choose in the room of the Noble Marquis to re present his MAJESTY in the approaching Congress, and there uphold the interests of Great Britain. The point it undoubtedly one of considerable im portance, but for one own parts we cannot see how it happens that the interests of Great Britain should be placed in any jeopardy at such a Congress, nor do we perceive how either the dignity of the British Crown, or the well-being of this empire can in any wise be promoted by our appearing as a party at such an assembly. Great Britain has no occasion to attend these juntas, which, so far as the expe rience of the pest will enable us to form on opinion, appear to have no other object than to bestow a kind of legal sanction upon national oppression, and to guarantee moral injustice by the imposing influence of an irresistible force. If it be right that England should recognise the independence of Mexico and of the South American States, why should it be done rather as the result of a delibera tion in a Congress at Vienna than of a debate in the British Parliament at Westminster ? If the cause of freedom in Greece ought to be maintained by British influence, or be promoted by British arms, is it in Vienna, or wherever else the Con gress may sit, that so important a question should be decided ? Will the Emperors of AU•TRI♦ or RUSSIA, will the Kings of PRUSSIA or FRANCE feel a doper concern for the trade and commerce of England with the immense continent of South America than the Representatives of London, York, and Lancaster ? Will they appreciate more keenly the claims which liberty ought to have upon the generosity, the sympathy, and the character of England, then the Lords and Commons in Parliament assembled ? The interests of Great Britain have long been felt upon the Con tinent of Europe to conflict with those of the great Powers who would form this Congress; and can we hope for justice or impartiality in such an assembly upon any point where those contending interests may seem to be involved ? Such a hope would be idle ; and yet, in becoming a party to the Congress, our Government ipso facto binds itself to adhere to the resolutions of the assembly, and to pursue such • line of policy, with regard to our foreign relations, as the majority of foreign Kings and Ministers way think expedient ! This is the nature and extent of the sscrifice which Great Britain implied!) , proposes to make by sending • Minister to the expected Congress. Let us see, on the other hand, what the advantages are which we may hope to gain as the reward of so great a conces►ion. What have we gained hitherto for the Allies that we sacrificed upon the continent of Europe—for the commercial pursuits which we abandoned, and fur the rich and extensive colonies which we most generously restored ? We strutted and flourished in the face of Europe, and were flattered loudly with the praises of magnanimity and generosity, and then—were laughed, at. Our commerce was interdicted by our friends; our ma nufactures were excluded by our allies; the ports which in their own independence used to court our intercourse as the promise of future protection, and the assurance of present profit. became through our means the property of our rivals, and en larged the extent of commercial prohibition, our very favours became sources of ingratitude, and we had been so inflated with the praise of - anaguanimity, that our flatterers knew they could piny upon that weak point in the character of our Government. We have been're pelled from the harbours of Europe, but we wrre A too mignanintous to resent the ibjury, fns at this moment the very pirates who infest the American seas plunder and murder our merchants and destroy our commerce ; but our magnanimous adhereuce to some ridiculous notions of the Admiralty about the rights of flags—pirates to wit—fitters our naval power, and renders our character in the west at once ridiculous and contemptible. What then are we to hope from the present Congress Certainly nothing good. We ought rather to dread the approach of such a meeting, for unless the future is to differ essentially from the past, we must anti cipate some further outrage upon public rights, of which the British Governnient will be made the silly instrument, or expect some special invasion of our own interests, in which the recorded magnani mity of our Cabinet will ioduce it to acquiesce. The true interests of Great Britain will be best con sulted by abstaining from attending at these occa sional congregations of foreign Potentates, and by intrustiog them to the wisdom of a British Parlia ment for counsel, and to British enterprise, skill, and valour, for execution. The Paris Papers up to Monnday give us back little more than our own news. They are nearly filled with a report of the Coroner's Inquest upon the late Marquis of LONDONDERM—Letters from Vienna state that Count MONTMORVICY, the French Mi n ster of Foreign Affairs, is expected in that city, and that the affairs of Spaiu will be discussed in the approaching Congress. The opening of the Con greas is said to be fixed for the lit of October; but the Ministers of the Ere great Powers are to hold preliminary conferences in the month of September. The following are extrac:s PARIS, AUGUST 18. It is stated that the King's Attoruey-Genetal ►as com• menced MEMO proceedings against Sieur Lafontaine, and the Editor of the Journal de la Cole d'Or, for defamatior and abuse of the King's Ministers, ■nd particularly of this !Cloister at War. The trial was to have taken place on ,be 16th 'before the Tribunal of Correctional Police at Dijon. A private letter from Vienna, of the 7th instant, contains the following paragraph—" A report bas been in eireishation here since morning of the death of his Holiness the Pope." Baron &MINIM% who has been appointed the Austrian Internuncio to Constantinople, is engaged is making preps. rations for his voyage, and is expected to leave Vienna abou► the 20th of this month. A rause of great interest has been brought before the Royal Court. The administrators of the public domains claim She property of the deceased Madame Marie Adelaide of France, the King's aunt, inasmuch as her natural heirs, the Kiug and their Royal Highnesses Monsieur, Madame the Duchess of Angouleme, have formally renounced the suc cession. 1 his is opposed by the Simi,.
