They bad -every where &splayed the British colours and G. It. upon their habitations. On theWesera considerable numher of the inhabitants assemblitd, and took the strong and important battery l and works at Bremerlee. These and other instances prove decidedly the sP:rit and determination of the Llanoverians, and skew how eagerly the opportunity.i,a seized of throwing off the remnant. of French oppression. Accounts of a similar nature have been brought by the Charlotte pilot boat, which arriied yester day front Heligoland. The whale country be tween the Elbe, the Weser, and Ems, was in the undisturged possession of the Russians, and no thing was to be beard ,but the joyous buzias of the inhabitants on the coast : vessels were arriving hourly at Heligoland with provisions and other articles. the House of Commons, in Committee, com. Ineneed yesterday the examination of .evidence on the gnestion relative to the renewal of the Charter 'of the East India Company. The 'first witness ommincti was , a Gentlenutu of much cele brity, Mr. WkaltEN HASTINGs, called on the part of the Company. Lord MONNoirrit wan after wards examined ; and the [louse pioceed j s again this claY. In the Lords t i Select Committee has been ap pointed to hear Counsel and examine Witnesses on the same subject, to which the Petition of the Conspany, and all the Petitions presented against the monopoly have been referred: It has been' justly observed that the refusal of the 'Spanish Ecclesiastics to promulgate in their churches the Decree for the . abOlition of the in quisition, ought to make those who arc disposed to annul, all restraints upon Popery reflect on its character, and on the danger of removing those restraints. One of the most offensive, oppressive, and degrading institutions of Popery was the Ingni sition, and what can be thought of those who are anxious for its revival 3 Must they not with reason be considered as weak, ignorant, and lost in pitia hle bigotry 3 Without, however, presuming to judge pt the principles of the Memberi of that Re gency which the Cortes , have dissolved, s'i may fairly,venture to believe that those. who have been appointed to succeed them have more enlightened, minds, or at least, have a more decided character, • and are more likely to support measures calculated for the deliverance of the country, and the im provement of its Government. Yet the Mornirkg Chronicle, which has a wonderful facility in ac-' ,:tiring; a knowledge of characters, his already. disco ,rered that the Cardinal BotraßoN is a person of neither talents nor energy, and it ninst depend on the cittolict et. of his colleagt , 2s what shall be t'he s.pirit and activity of his overument, - it would be very tArange indeed if rite Cortes, having dismissed the former Regeney for want of energy, it not of talent', should have.placed at the head `of the new government a man dystitate of spirit and activity. limit it enough that tbe Cardival is a tionalsoN, Ithd that he is not so higotted a Catholic as to wish to 4ee Popery revived in all its powers, for its advocates to depreciate his, character, anti " prognosticate predictions" against iris .
