PORE lON riNtLI,LiGILNCE. FRENCJI PAPERS. (Prom the - Cazeite de France, dated Tuesday, Feb. 19.) CONSTANTINOPLE, 1 EIL 1 0.--The moderation tvhich the Porte had promised to observe, and which had even given great reason ,to hope that it desired to effect the paCificatiOn by its own measures; has wholly vanished, - in 'rather, it was only ii mask which had served to conceal its true designs. A proclamation ; addressed to all the functionaries of the enipire' , and conceived in terms the most of fensive to the Cabinets of all Christendom, declares that it was a sacred duty to combat them, called the 11 , 1ussulmen to arms, and even declares plainly that the Porte.wanted to gain time in order to prepare for a sanguinary struggle; and that, having obtained that object, it will brave every danger, and will rather : be overpowered than Consent to recognize the inde pendence of the Oreeks in the Mores and the. Islands, which would encourage the other Reyes to revolt, and soon reduce Islamism under the dominion of the iaifi- The Porte has not been content with this procla merlon ; but has also drawn up a list of proscriptions, -Which includes 1,500 French, English, and Russian subjects, and makee all the individuals of the three nations who remain here apprehensive of a similar -or a worse fate. These measures have obliged the Charge d'Affaires of the Neutral Powers to inter fee, and to observe to the,Porte, that this conduct was not conformable to the promise which it bad made to take wider its own protection all the Franks that had no immediate representative ; that it was only preparing for itself the most dreadful catas trophe; that it was even acting contrary to the Treaty of , Akermann; and that it was going to throw all Europe into alarm. These remonstrances seem to have made no impression; and the orders of proscription have\been executed notwithStanding, under the pretext - that the individuals on the list could not account for their means of subsistence, though most of thrni belofig to the Most re spectable commercial houses. The evil dlsposi tion which scents to guide: the councils of the Porte, and . Which, as weir as a terrible fatality, extinguishes eVuly favoinable prospect in its af fairs, has been augmented by the spirit of per secution, and ham struck a blow agai ,st all the . A rmenians. The Porte appears to have ;.,ken offence in particular at the proofs of - attache .tit which the people of this nation in Georgia and Persia have !lave shewn to Russia, and intends to banish them - iVithOut distinction of age Or . sex. Orders- have 'already been given in the capital, enjoining them to quit the country immediately, and it is feared . that a smailar order will be sent to the provinces.

You will recognize, noble Peer* the inspirations of this generous policy so natural to the Bourbons, in the conduct of France with regard to Spain. Our sacrifices no doubt were of the greatest magnitude, but we founded them on glory. The term of those sacrifices has arrived, the glory only remains to our arms, and to that, noble sword which glistened in the first rank. To appreciate precisely the question of the eva uation of it is .necessary to carry back your thoughts to the treaty in vi:tue of which the occupa tion took place. . It was in the month of February, the an arrangement took place between France 'and Spain, by which.sue part of the• king's army was to remain at the disposal of his Catholic Majestydo secure the tranquillity of his states, and to afford him time to rc-construct his army, and to consolidate his Go vernment in such a manner as to Control maln'olence and 'faction. . During the few years which .have elapsed since the signature of this convention, renewed upon the same basis when there was a question of diminish.; ing the corps of occupation, the interior state . of Spain did not perhaps present all the improvements which ought to have been—l shall not say the ob ject. of the.occupation, but--the signal of its ter mination. In f a ct ; it cannot be believed that, it even entered -into the thoughts of the King, or of his august pre decessor, to interfere, under.the auspicesof fOree, in the internal government of Spain. The presence of French troops would have been in their eyes a mo tive for giving a more gentle form to the advice, which she owed. to a. King whom France had re placed upon its throne. His Majesty wished to lend a tutelary force to Spain.; he, could not lookfor in it the violent means of acting upon her ' Tw i t ,. tions.. A more _natural, although a more indirect' action, that of example, . has been gloriously exer t . eised since the restoration by the Bourbons of France. , " The_ end of the occupation had been at first fixed for the Ist of July . 1821. ' It - has- not been 1 prolonged bey on d that time but by Common accord.- The two o.veicigiis reserved to each orher, b - t h re e conventions signed on this subject, o f terminating I t it. w as sufficient.. that. either of them demanded it. Circumstaiiccs for a long time o pposed the juncture in whi c h e i t h e r France or pain should think proper mak e this deniand.— At the end of 1826, for the first ti me his Catholic MajeftY testified a desire to kno w at what time . 'the . King thought that he could withdraw hi s t ro op s .— His Majesty stated the month .. orAp r il , 1827 ; but events which sprung up at that.ti nie, ih another ~,,,de it a-dirty"o n the two state of the Peninsula, sovereigns to adjourn a measure which prudence no longer permitted. - It became' a question,in fact, how to prevent the relations which became difficult between Spain and Portugal, froin degenerating int,' hostilities. In order, therefore, to exercise a pacific mediation, the French army prolonged its stay in the Peninsula. At the present moment, thanks to the negociations into which the Government of the King has entered, the dangers which appeared con nected with the changes brought about in Portugal, :ire `dissipated, to give place to hopes founded upon new transaction between tht; rights and forms of sovereign power. You know that the troops which 'lad been placed at the disposal of that kingdom, by the most ancient of its allies, have been recalled. On the other hand, Spain flatters herself with having recovered the elements of force and security. Her army has been re-organised ; it has shown itself faithful and &voted on a recent occasion, and the Government of his Catholii! Majesty thinks that it possesses the means necessary for repressing the spirit 9f faction and distmbance, if it should again arise.— This combination of circumstances allows the Kino to think . ofrecalling his troops* from the garrisons which they now occupy in Spain, and his Majesty proposes to give orders for the movement. 1 ,- *rance has fulfilled all her duties towards an ;tucient and faithful ally. The King has given to the descendant of Louis XIV. the highest proOfs of his kindness and affection. The task is largely- fuh• filled, and France, without regretting them, may rwkon up the noble sacrifices made in favour of Spain. • = • ~The attitude of France, and the affairs ofthe East And .of the Peninsula, would. appear to render inex plicable the patience which it has shown respecting the regency of Algiers. If we could confound under the same rules.-of diplomacy the relations of Euro pean States amongst themselves, and those which lhey are compelled to maintain with the Barbary Powers, we must go out of the ordinary rules try appreciate relations of this kind; and the indul 2,ence of the King must first pardon in those bar )arians . the. primitive wrong which explains, all the rest,,--namely, that of not comprehending the lore of France. All the Powers. have been forced in their turn to.consider only under the view of in terest the relations with states which continually keep out of the range of civilized _rights. The interest of our commerce, endangered.by the iiiolation of the treaties between France and the Dey of Algiers, together with the national honour, require a :satisfaction Which the King exacts, and will nOCeXaet in vain. ' The satisfaction, independent of the re-establish ment of former treaties in all their v=alidity,--this sa tisfaetion, the King proportions to the country which gives it, rather than to the power which de frauds it. The Archipelago,floble Peers, bears wit ness that the flag of France may henceforward exer cise the right of being inddlgent. The Same solicitude for the prosperity of French commerce, has sought at a distance, noble Peers, esources at once honourable and useful ; fOr there no solid advantages beyond a loyal policy. Such as the natural and necessary rule of the conduct observed by France with regard to the new States of Spanish America. It was combined, on a just view of her interests and political expediency. France has observed a strict neutrality between Spain and her mit:kilt colonies: She has formed with the latter relations profitable to her trade; and whilst consular agents, accredited to the . new go .vernments, watch over the maintenance of these re lation,. cruisers on the seas . of America are charged Nvith the duty of causing her flag to be respected. .NeW measures have been taken to ensure.more-com pletely its rights and security. This system of conduct is perfectly conformable the respective . position of France and the Itepub liCs which have arisen 'on the Anierican Continent. In the midst of the internal troubles which still Igitate these nascent states, their existence has:not hitherto offered such a decided character of solidity that the independence which they enjoy in fact, could acquire in the eyes of the Kin's Cabinet, the authority of a right sufficiently established. Infor mation received faint those countries of a recent date, appear to justify the reserve which it has hought proper to observe towards them. All precipitation on this subject ,would, therefore, appear juS'tly blameable ; and it is not in France, or in thiS chamber, that astonishment would be elicited, that the Government of the King has not thought proper to select, in order to recognize . the.independ ence of state's which not long ago were under the authority of his Catholic Majesty, the moment when the most important garrisons of Spain were in the power of French troops. The motives of such a reserve will be easily appreciated ; and the King, who .on .this grave question has been able to reconcile the . iaterests of France with the care of his dignity, and with a regard . which he owed to a Monarch who was a relation and an ally, his doubtless the right to expect that reliance may . be paced upon his wisdom respecting the determination which remained to be taken, to complete, at a convenient opportunity, our ielatiAS •Nvith the new States of AMerica. As . ..to the rest, it is not, noble peers; to the-in complete nature of these relations,•but rather to the inconvenience inseparable from the creation of a new order of things, established by force of arms on the ruin of an ancient order, that we must ascribe the difficulties which our trade has sometimes encoun tered on those Shores, and which the stations of the French squadrons have hitherto succeeded in re moving. Some reclamations are pursued at, this time in the same way, and we doubt not will obtain the success which had attended those previously Made; Grievances of this kind belong so little, in fact, to the state of our political relations, that France is under the necessity of demanding reparation of a part of them against an empire which offers every pledge of stability, and where the King has long had an accredited Minister. The Minister of the King at the Brazils has taken the most active steps to obtain restitution of French vessels unjustly captured in La Plata, and condemned by the Brazilian tribunals. After having prevented the sale of these vessels, he succeeded in procuring a. revision of the sentences. —The Brazil Government, of its own accord, made offers of adjustment, which the Minister of the King has been authorised to entertain. But since that time the Government of the King has learned that Frelic4 ships continue to be captured in La Plata, doubtless, we must believe, by an involuntary delay in the transmission of in structions conformable to the propositions of ar rangement made by the Brazil Ministers, or by the effect of a misunderstanding respecting the orders already given. The Kng, however, is resolved to increase the naval fotce which lie maintains in the Brazil seas, on purpose to remedy such a state of things; and we have every reason to believe that the presence alone of this force will attain the pro pbsed object. “ My Lords, this exposition is sufficient, without doubt, to enable yon to appreciate on what as surances the King, from the height of his throne,', ' thinks that he can cast upoe our foreign relations a satisfied glance. We are pleased to think that these assurances will not be vain, and that events will come to confirm the hopes which they give us reason to conceive; but, whatever may arise, France will be able to assume and to preserve a rank which suits her honour; her power, and her dignity. Her glory, which no one forgets, protects her 'repose, assures her independence, and. contributes powerfully Id maintain the 'peace of the world. In a short tithe, released from th e sacrifices rendered necessary by, the noble suppo r t whi c h s h e l en t to Spain-free from the difficulties which temporarily affected our commerce by the complaints which we make against Algiers, and by the delay in the arrangements with some of the -States: of- America:: the Government will endeavour carefully to preserve all the elements of a peace so favourable to the development of our institutions 'and of the public resources. The sin cere and generous alliance of 'the Moiareha is the best guarantee o f this : it is likewise the noblest model offered to the good men 'whom the . King, ' ca ll s to unite frankly arouud, his throne—a neces sary union. which France desires, and of which the Chamber of . Peers will be eager to offer the first example. • The last --number of the Limerick Chronicle contains a notice twits Past and present subscribers, who have not paid up their accounts, that if they are not paid `hY a certain day, a list of the' " incorrigible debtors" will be published, and the debts Will be sold to some attorney,. who may make a good job of the purchase. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 21, 18•:ZS. Whilst• conjecture has been busy for so many years as to the authorship of Jura us's Letters, a gleam of hope has broke ;ton the benighted world, that, like the wandering Jew, that unknown in dividual, though unseen, still - dwells amongst ta, or if he has been withdrawn front mortal gaze, that like the Prophet of old, he• has consigned his mantle to a favoured inhabitant of our planet. But whether the JUNIUS of former clays, and the ALGERNON of the modern Times, be one and the same individual, or have their identity con lined to an ample portion of the same spirit—it must be matter of congratulation to the lovers of literature, that a rich treat lies- before them, in the prospect held out by ALGERNON'S having only completed the Third Letter of :A series, which surely will . not fall short in number, the easiest and most practicable point of a painful imitation. To any one who may have the temerity to grapple with so formidable an alit:iv:list, there is deep omen of his danger in the modest announcement of ALGERNON, who tells us, " I have. as much experience of the political world as he has ;'he cannot dive into the most hidden recesses either of the Court or the Cabinet, but I can and will follow him ; and shall consider no labour too heavy, no sacrifices too great, if I . can unmask imposture - or punish treachery." Now, as . Mr. HUSKISSON is rather a seri ous antagonist, and as it follows as a come qUence, that one who, (on his own showing at least) is his equal, must be equally formidable, prudence might dictate to us an im plicit • acquiescence in his dogmas, and . a cheerful subscription to the assertion, of his Journalist, that ALGERNON'S letter, No. 3, is " a plain and unquestionable statement of-the fact." We should deem it an insult to Mr. HUSKISSON, who is the peculiar subject of AL GERNON s venom, were we to be led into a weakened repetition of a defence which has been amply and satisfactorily made by the Right Hon. Gentleman himself; but in reference to the fresh accusation, - growing out of that defence, we would advise ALGERNON pot to be so intrepidly led into demonstrations of triumph, by Mr. HUSK I SSON's declaration of having finished his case. The sneers about the opportune arrival of Mr. SHEP PARD'S letter are to the last degree contemptible, and are drawn fortli by the consciousness that this handsome testimony of a political opponent was a death-blow to the malicious purposes of personal enemies. Mr. HusistssOsr - never de nied the use of the word guarantee, he only asserted thak it implied no parchment bond, no legal instrument, but a conviction founded on the result of his interviews with the Noble Duke at the head of his Majesty's Government. In confirmation of this view of the term, Mr. I SHEPPARD'S letter did arrive, and much too op portunely, no doubt, for those who had set their toils; and, prepared their speeches. Whether or not Mr. SHEPPARD, iti Isis anxiety to view his letter in print, did anticipate the date of its receipt by the Right Hon. Gentleman, bears no way on the point,—for none will presume to state (or we should rather say to think) that it' was a forgery, or was the result of an unheard of con cert with a determined opponent. But some of the reasoning-of ALGERNON, his begging the 'question, is., quite delightful. With a beautiful simplicity he 'asks, " If the wound was green and fresh in August, can it be healed in January ?" Without laying claim to surgical skill, we should say, that such a cure is perfectly conceivable in the case of a bodily wound ; and as to wounds of the mind, without ALGERNON'S experience, we regret to say, that ,we have witnessed the healing of the most serious, in a far shorter time. Man is incapable of an overwhelming protracted sorrow, however deep ,and sincere it may be ; and we do not see that'. HUSKISSON is to be blamed for sa crificing (if he did., so) personal feeling to the interests of his, country. In the first mo silents of anguish he may be pardoned for forming resolutions, which, when his mind recovered its tome, would have been culpable,and deserving the severe s t . re p iroba tOn. • ..The history of his lamented friend fur nished bins with precedent) if it had been ne cessary, that personal considerations Should yield ' to State necessities, and 'that " salus populi su , prema lex." Vanity would have led him to wake a display of his indispensable importance by holding aloof, and his only crime seems to be, that he preferred his country's interests to the continuance in office of either Whigs or Tories. The Paris Papers of Monday, and the Ga le-tie de France dated Tuesday, contain little news. The Chamber of Peers presented on Monday their address on the KING's Speech. In another column will be found the conclusion of Count FERRONNAY's Speech, and though very liberal, yet it will be perceived, that the pe riod for the final departure of the French troops from Spain is not at all fixed. We expressed an opinion to this effect last week, and our con viction as to the complete evacuation of Spain by the French is as strong as ever. Our grand mistake was in allowing them to enter ; pos session they now hold to be nine points of the law in their favour, and political circumstances will always sanction their stay, just as long as they may think it necessary. They had no bu siness there ; and it will be answered that it is no business of ours to compel their departure. The news from Constantinople, if worthy of credit, sounds as warlike as ever. A Proclama tion is said to have been addressed to all the. functionaries of the empire, conceived in the most offensive terms to the Cabinets of the Allied Powers, and indeed to all Christendom, declar ing that it was a sacred duty to combat them. The Mussultnen are called to arms, and it is plainly hinted that the PORTE only wanted to gain time in order to be better prepared for a sanguinary struggle. Sooner than recognise the independence of Greece, the SULTAN would rather be overpowered in the combat. But that is not all—if the report be correct, the SULTAN has drawn up alist of proscriptions, including 1500 French, English, and Russian subjects, who are to be sacrificed to his terrific vengeance. This appears altogether so contrary to the dictates of that prudence and f6rbearance upon which the SULTAN has hitherto acted, that we are very loth to believe it.. We do not say that the SUL TAN may not be betrayed into an unwise line of policy, but jibe is, he will find speedy cause to re pent his rashness, as well, as treachery. But the whole tenor of the article awakens suspicion. In the-first place, its date (Constantinople, Feb.lo,) is not only questionable, but taking the late seve rity of the weather into account, a matter of im possibility. We are half inclined to think that some stock jobbers arc at the bottom of the affair. _ , _ The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 14th has been received. The accounts from Smyrna arc to the 4th tilt., at which time much alarm was entertained there in consequence of ac counts received from Constantinople. The :Hanseatic cities have concluded a favourable Commercial Treaty with the Brazils, which is considered as being equivalent to a total aboli tion of the difference of import duties in Brazil SMYRNA, .7AN 4. Our city is in some commotion, because the accounts received from Constantinople. give much reason for alarms' for the Franks here. The mpst distinguished merchants are embarking, and every one is putting his effects in some place of safety. A great number of vagabonds who were going to act fire to the city, and were mostlyitalians, have been arrested by order of the Neapolitan Consul. M. Blancque, principal Editor of the Oriental Spec tator, has been arrested by order of the French Consul, brought with his presses on board the Pomona, and sent to Toulon, because lie had inserted in No. 300 of his Spectator, an article which was considered as highly offensive to the French Govern►nent. The removal of M. Blancque is much regretted here; he was highly esteemed, and by his office as President of the Merchants he was respected by the local authorities. The second editor has escaped by flight. FROM THE LOWER. ELBE, FPS. 4, You may consider the following as the official commu nication of the special Hanseatic Mission to Rio de Janeiro. " The merchants, we think, will not be dissatisfied with the treaty which we concluded in 17th November, 1827. All goods, without distinction of their origin, exported from the Hanseatic cities, in Hanseatic ships, or in the ships of other favoured nations, that is, when these na- - tions give the 'mine privilege to Hanseatic ships, are to pay from the day when the ratifications are exchanged, an import duty of 15 per cent. instead of 21 per cent. whiCh they have hitherto paid. From the entrepot of northern praductions, which. is thereby en couraged, and the more easy competition with the North AmericanS in corn, flour, and provisions of all kinds, we promise ourselves almost greater advantages than froth the encreased exportations of German manufactures, which cannot fail to take place. For the manufactures of the Prussian Rhenish provinces and Westphalia, as well as for the whole south of Germany, this treaty is still more important than that concluded by Prussia, which limits the reduction in the import duty to Prussian goods in Prussian ships; and besides stipulates troublesome forma lities of certificates of origin." This treaty is equivalent to a total' abolition of the dif ference of import duties in Brazil, 'and we cannot but wonder, after the late treaties with France and Prussia, and especially after this most recent convention with the ifinScatic'eities, that the Government of that country does not rather once for all decree an equality of privileges for all nations, which exists in point of fact, as it has been strictly observed in the former Spanish colonies in South America from the beginning of their independence, notwith. standing all the influence of England and North America. VIENNA, FEE. 9. The Russian Counsellor of State, Chev. Kataskasy, who was appointed diplomatic agent in attendance upon Count Von Heiden, arrived here to-day, from St. Petersburgh. All that has been said in public Journals of a missionovith which Prince Philip of Hesse Homburg was to go to St. Petersburgh, is one of the numerous fictions with which the public is daily amused. , Metalliques 9 9- 16 Bank Stock 105 By the Hairs transport, arrived at Portsmouth from Jamaica, Papers to the 2d ult. have been received at the North and Soutli American Coffee-house, from which we make the folloWing extracts : His Majesty's packet ship Redpole, Capt. Bullock, with the second middle mail, anchored at Port Royal on the 31st December. She sailed from Falmouth on the 21th No vember, arrived at Jaumel on the 29th December, landed a mail, and sailed same day : off Jaumel, on the 26th, she carried away her topmast by a h ea vy sea. His Majesty's brig Bustard, Capt. Smith, front Chagres, arrived also yesterday at Port Royal, in 15 days. His Majesty's brig Ferret, Capt. Gossett, was at Cbagres when the Bustard sailed. . The Admiral had answered an application for con voy to the trade for St. Jago de Cuba, by eating that lie would endeavour to provide one by the sth January. By the Espiegle we learn that Admiral Laborde, in the Spanish' line-of-battle ship (Guerrero, with a large 50-gun frigate and a heavy brig pf 20 guns, had arrived at Porto Rico from the Havannab, ani sailed from thence fen the 23d of December, after holdirg a conference with the Governor and authorities. It is poiitively asserted that Montego Bay will be immediately oonetituted a free ware housing port. A report is in existence in the island, that Sir - Henry Torrens will be appointed Governor of Jamaica, ind that Sir John Keane goes home -o succeed him as Adi 11 tant-General. His Lordship the i ßishop of Jamaica, will shortly sail for Europe, in his Majesty's ship Valorous, Captain the Earl of Huntingdon. The Redpole packet wanting some ripairs, will not pro ceed to Vera Cruz before Saturday morning, the .sth of January. On the 25th Dec. his Majesty's packet, Lady Wel lington, Lieutenant Lugg, sailed from Kingston for Car thagena ; and on the 26th his Majesty's ship Harlequin, Captain Elliott, for Santa Martha and Carthagena. The. Lady Wellington packet for England ,was appointed to sail from the island on the 15th January. We have just-received the Gazette de France dated yesterday, by express; it, contains little or nothing of any moment. The son of Prince WREDE has - abjured his religion,' and entered the service of the GRAND SEIGNOR. The Greek Banker ItEALLI has been exe cuted for forgery, by order of the GRAND SEIGNOR. The news from Constantinople do not bear out the Augsbath Gazette in its warlike tone. The French Funds are, Five per Cent., . 104 f. 54e. ; Three per Cent., 70f. Extracts from' the Agents to Lloyd's, dated Smyrna, Jan. 4 : ' His • Majesty's ship Cambrian, saile4 on a cruizc yester day morning ; his Majesty's ship Isis, Commodore Sir Thomas Staines, is in port. The British and French Ambassadors sailed from Vourla, 21st instant. Mr. Canning replied to the memorial of the merchants by an official communication, that Mr. Werry had instruc tions to continue the consular functions until the 15th, after which period the Consul and the merchants might remain at their own discretion, when they would 'have the Dutch Consulate, open to them for business; and he. warns them to prepare-for the contingency of a more de cided rupture. Meantime Sir Thomas Staines gives us every expectation that one of his Majesty's ships will al ways be left in port, and the general opinion, founded on the best information to be gleaned by the public is, that there is apparently not the slightest necessity for the departure of Consuls, merchants, or merchant vessels by the 15th, and consequently all decide on staying until compelled by imminent danger to fly. The Turks continue the good police, and not an European hai been insulted. At closing we hear a King's ship is coining in, supposed to be the Mastiff surveying ship. CONSTAT:TINOPLE, JAN. 11. All the British ships mentioned on the 27th, are still here, with the exception of the Skylark, Davis, which . finally sailed for Smyrna 3d inst. ; she would wait for convoy at the Dardanelles ; but by advices from Smyrna, it is likely she would meet with little dr no detention there for that object. 'The Tranby, Day, end Mary Berry, Baker, have began discharging their corn cargoes, and the Cornelius, Creighton, will be ready to do so in a feW days. The Earsdon, Wightman, and Alexander, Antle,, are still here with their cargoes, chiefly tallow on board, under a hope that means may be found to enable them to. proceed. I am, of course, very desirous of effecting this, but dare not hold out nitwit hope: . _ _ Government has still further restricted the number of persons allowed to remain here, belonging to the three Powers, awl many very respectable persons are included amongst those ordered away. It is said that the Austrian Minister has also been di rected to submit a list of his subjects for the inspection of the Porte. A new Paper, entitled the Colonist, has ap peared at the Cape of Good Hope, the , first number of which, dated Nov. 22, we have just r eceived. The death and funeral of Mr. CAN NING form the principal p'rt of its melancholy contents. The principles of the Colonist, as fhr as we are able to judge, appear to he liberal. The prospect of a plentiful harvest was looked forward to as a great blessing, altar the failure of four successive harvests immediately following a large addition to the number of inhabitants in the Colony. The changes in the internal Government were also confidently expected to produce the most beneficial results. Amid the hope of future improvement, however, the Colonist regrets that any doubts should remain as to the immediate organization of a Legislative Assembly—a boon for which the Colony is not yet sufficiently prepared. The following arc a few extracts : .CHANGES. —It is generally understood, that Sir Richard Plasket intends returning to England in the beginning of next year, and that, during his absence, Colonel Bell will be Acting-Secretary to Government. COURT OF Jusricx.--The President, Sir John Truter, it is said, retires on a pension of 806/. per annum ; each of the other members is to receive 2001., with the excep tion of Mr. RogersOn, who is nominated Town Collector. SUPREME' Comm.—We understand that a meeting of the legal practitioners in Cape Town was held on Tuesday at the chambers of his Honour Sir - JOhn Wylde, when the regulations of the Charter were communicated to them, under which they will be permitted to practice in-the new Supreme Court. His Honour was likewise understood to state on behalf of himself and brother Judges, that the Court will take up the present practice and proceedings„at the precise stage at which they shall be found on the Ist of January next. The present Court, of Justice and Court' of Appeals are abolished by the 'Charter.

The generaL aspect of ,the British Securities is more than usually gloomy, to whieh some consider able sales this morning have materially tended to give weight in the market; • various causes -have' been given for this heaviness and consequent dullness. Among the reports are--the unsettled state of the Ministry, the alarininf.; accounts from Constantinople, a considerable horn , , n of which is disbelieved by persons well informed ; the effect which the large sales of Stock which were. stated to be made on ac count of the Deccan prize money,. but ndwt denied, had upon the market; • and lastly, the uncertainty which attends the Finance Committee. .

He asked for the price of a pint of beer, and on being re fused he struck the pros e c u t or a v i o l ent bl ow on t h e tem ple, and was itnmediately joined by another man, whom pro secutor had not before seen. They both rifled his pockets, stuffed dirt and graVel into his mouth, and kicked him. vio kntly on the ribs. ,He begged them to spare his life, and after they had taken all -the: money he had, awl his bat, they both immediately made off. He , gave the alarm, and described the person who had joined him, and whom he had seen during their walk of abatd.three hundred yards, as being dressed in a dark coat and trow sers,, and a very tight waistcoat. He likewise told the officer that he should know the person again by his voice, as be had before known him at a place where he hid been working. The prisoner was taken the same night at about twelve o'clock. 'He was then in bed with his wife, and stated when taken that he had only been out fur sonic coals and candles on that night after nine o'clock. • Mr. Putm.trs, for the Prisoner, called four witnesses, who proved that. at the time of the robbery the prisoner was talking with one of them at .his own door, about a mile and a half from the place of the .robbery. The time was also pretty clearly made out to have been remarked. Mr. !Lima VAUGHAN observed in summing up, that it was altogether a question of identity, and, after stating the evidence on both sides, lift it to the Jury, who returned verdict of Not Guilty. John Massey, aged 17, was indicted for stealing four silver spoons from the house of 11Irs. Williams, Great C a mbridge-street, Hackney.

Witness followed him, calling out, " stop thief," and he was soon taken.-- On looking over some plate in the kitchen, witness missed four silver spoons, which were afterwards found on the the inside of a knee in the Bird-cage Walk. It turned out on the examination of _Mrs. Williams, that the spoons were not the property of her husband, but of her daaghtcr; and therefore as they were alleged in t h e i n dictment to be the property of William Williams, in. s t ea d • of Harriett Williams, the Learned .luncr directed the Jury to adquit the • prisoner; which they accord ingly did.
