FOR THE SUN. A DREAM. Dreams are toys;— Yet for this once, yea, supco3titionsly, I trill be squared by this. SHE\XSPEATtE• Mn. EmToR,-=-Not witlistandin my name, dreant sometimes ; and upon those oct rt,ions 1 tr generally asleep. List night, 1 was in that redicament, and was favoured with a vision; which, as it followed he occupation of my wak i.,g thoughts, will perhaps excuse my somno lency. I dreamed, Sir, that I was in the Parliament ; that the Bill for the entire Emancipation of the Roman Catholics had pased the Lords and Commons, and was at that moment presented to THE REGENT for his decision. You know, Sir, that dreams are very unaccountable things ; and as we do not live under the Imperial Tyrant, whO used to hang folks for treasonable dreaming, .1 will venture to tell you bow I fancied in mine that some persons had persuaded THE REGENT that he might give HIS FATHER'S assent to such a Bill without violating TIIE CORONATION OATH. Well, Sir, the Bill was just going to be passed ; when -a person stept forward, drest in a foreign habit, in , roduccd by FERDINAND of Spain ,aud his GRAND INQUISITOR, who very reverentially carried the 'Pope's Bull in one band,- and a lighted faggot in the other. The stranger's train was held up by PRIEST MILNER, who seemed, as Lingo says, to 'l. think he might act Cardinal Virot.szY in that Bou , e ;" and a long train followed of sturdy iars, who liouldered and jostled " my Lords and Gentlemen" very handsomely. THE Li EGE,NT paused.—The stranger advanced toward the Throne ; and in a loud voice denonn ced THE ACT OF SETTLEMENT 65 a " GRIEV ANCE," from which the Holy Roman Church still wanted to he emancipated. He then declared himself the lineal Heir of the STUART race ; and solemnly uttered these words : " To establish Protestantism, you expelled " my Ancestor ; to maintain it, you excluded his " Posterity. He conk! have done no more then, " than what yourselves are going to do now.— " What is right in the Legislature, could not " have been wrong in the Sovereign. The pu " nishment, therefore, should expire with the " offence ; and, when you have destroyed that " Establishment, which you banished nty Ances " for for endangering, will you not relieve his " Heir from a forfeiture, which was only just as it was necessary,• and which, when no longe'r " necessary, will cease to be just ?" The Stranger ceased.—Our REGENT took the J 11 in his hands, and tearing it asunder exclaim ed—" LE ROY S'AVISERA." His faithful Protestants 'set up, in their joy, what Counsellor O'CoNtsieLh so civilly termed " the ruffian shout of English insolence." The PRETENDER, with all his train of Friars and Faggots, vanished at the sound ; awl I—awoke. Do not yo►t think, Mr. Editor, that " the foregone conclusion'' of my dream entitles me, even in my sleep, to call myself VIGIL ? FOR THE SUN: THE ACT OF INSOLVENCY. is thought, by many respect able Attornies in our city, that the Commissioner appoilited to execute this Act is not a Ithurtzed to rake up a sort of peculiar Court, with Officers and Assistants.• By the old occasional Acts, theMa gistiates in Sessions, on a short petition from In solvent Debtors, and a schedule of their property to be delivered up, discharged them at a small expellee, on the interposition of rek4nlarly bred Attmnies at L•;w ; hut now the complaint is, that a single Commissioner conceives himself higher than -a Nlagistr3te, in a tribunal exclusively his own; attended by Counsel to aid or oppose peti tiomrs' discharges. This is not all, as it is said that he formally admits any nom who is not an Attorney at Law to act as agent for and against ptisouers playing relief ; and appoints a kind of prothonotaiy to settle hills of costs, and issue snoimonses for particular purposes between the parties, woo also exacts tees, insomuch, that what with Counsel, - Prothonotary, Agents, alql hangers ou, the poor debtor has an absolute or-• deal to go through, and if he escape its fire or water, Ilia scanty pocket is emptied, and he is turned upon the world at large a pennyless wan th-rer—and a wonderer too that such an Act should pass for the convenience of Parliament, and the profit of a Commissioner, his Prothonota ry, and Agents. 'ibis calls with stentorian voice on . the Legislature for correction, either by amending or repcalin ; :. it altogether, as it con verts the dispensation of justice into traffic. • Worcester. A COUNTIIX ATTORNEY. FOR THE SUN. EDITOR,--Conceiving it a respectful at tention due to your politeness and impartiality, I beg to state to you my reasons for so suddenly, if not surreptitiously,obtruding myself on your no tice by my communications. These reasons were, the Constitutional Prin ciples of your Journal, the liberal scope which it allows to Correspondents, the prevailing Scepti cism, Jacobinistn, and Catholic Cunning of the day. While, as lam an Englishman from education, conscirnce, and the convictions of reason, to oppose whatever is an insult to our in tritect as men, au infringement of our rights as Briroos, .and a subversion of our Establishment as Churchmen,, 1 consider as a duty which 1 owe to toy Country and my King, to my conscience and my God. 'Fur these reasons I shall, with your permission, occasionally bask in the genial rays ot Sux. While that this influence may continue to animate every Briton's breast, is thc sincere wish of him who Kegs to subscribe himself, Your's very respectfully, BREV rrAs. P.S. I beg ro add, that previous to my Queries to STACK HousE, no connunnieKtions amine ever appeared in tiny public journal; yet the kfluence -•of "fug Sus, as upon the bee from the hive, has 'drawn me into public view, while, ns my con nections ate in the higher circles in We, 1 find myself called upon to enter the lists. An . sslreroion is about totake plae , in the dress of tht. von ,, g Gentlemen on the tminthrion of Don oolege they are in tut ure to teen' . bands. LONDON JUURNA Ls. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [Mornin g Chronicle.] DUKE OF KENT. It is well known that the circnmstances of this excellent Prince have for some yea . is been em barrassed, from debts that were contracted at a very early period of his life, and that, in order to liquidate'them, he has expatriated himself, and resigned nearly the whole of his income to some highly respectable friends, who have undertaken the management of his. affairs, and by whom lie is allowed a few tlionsands a year to enable him to live in retirement abroad. By this conduct, so honourable to his character, a great proportion of his debts have been liquidated, and the whole, within a year or two, are likely to he , settled. They originally amounted to 90 or 80.0001. and have been reduced to less than one-third of the above sums. By his marriage with the Duchess, . who is au em i nen t pattetu of every conjugal vir. tile, and with whom he lives at Amorback, in Germany, on terms of the greatest domestic hap piness, a small addition was made to the limited income within which he• had been restricted, and without which, indeed, he could not have met the various expenses to which his change of state, and increase of establishment, necessarily sub jeered him. The Duchess is in the family way, and expects to be conkned in the course of next M ay . p has been generally expected, and a s ge „, r ,fly wished, .that the accouct►emeut would take place in England, that the child might there by become an Englishman by being born in Eng land, but the Public will learn with regret, that. this id es , which was the nearest anddearest wish of the hearts of the Duke and Duchess, has been abandoned, by an intimation received Irons a high „quarter that such a step was wholly unnecessary,. and that great offence would be given if carried into execution. The consequence is, that the patriotic wish of the Duke is given up, and neither his Royal Highness, nor his amiable Con sort, will revisit England for a very considerable period. The Duchess's brother, Prince Leopold, has been on a visit to them, but his return to England may now be shortly expected. * 4- * We insert this among our daily extracts from the London Journals, for the gratification of our Country Readers, but we consider" the inti mation received from a high quarter" as totally de stitute of foundation. Indeed, there is no ra clonal or conceivable reason why such an intima tion should have been given. The Election for Westminster is, by the High Bailiff's precept, appointed for Saturday next ; but we understand that the nomination of Candi dates only will take place upon that day, should any poll be demanded: tor, according to the Sta tute of the 25th of the King; the High Bailiff, or any Returning Officer, is invested with a disct•e tion to postpone the poll until the next day (Sun day excepted) after that mentioned in the precept. Ot this discretion it is said that the High Bailiff means to avail himself, in the event of a contest, and in that event, therefore, the pull will not commence until Monday. No hustings will, it is supposed, be erected tur Saturday.—(lbid.) The Times.] Extract of a Letter from liamburgh, dated Feb. 2. " General Gourgaud, who is still resident here, has recently applied to the Austrian Minister in this city, for permission to reside in future at Prague. To this application he has received an answer in the affirmative, but with the condition tacked to it, that he must submit to be removed, if necessal y, and at the will of the Government, to any oilier part of the Austi ian doininions. Gene ral Gourgaud has refused the indulgence on those terms, and intends to remain in Harnburgh for wine time longer. On the 2d of February is the 200th anniversary of the establishment of our Bank, which is to be celebrated with unusual so lemnity. Medals arc to be struck in honour of the day. The conditions of the Loan entered into here in behalf of the Danish Government have reached Copenhagen, and it appears have caused some dissatisfaction in that city. A Committee has been appointed to determine whether it shall be ratified, or if any other proposition shall be made. Meantime the royal obligations have, in cot:sequence of this event, declined greatly in value."

LLOYD'S, HALF-PAST 11 .—TII4 following im portant communication was posted this morning at LLOYD'S, communicated by their Agent at Buenos Ayres, dated 22(1Novklber : " The Spanish frigate Rise Isabella, of 50 guns, is taken by the San Martin and Santaro Patriotic frigates, at Fulcataur. It is reported that four of the Transports under her convoy, with Troops from Cadiz to Lima, are also taken. The Hor tolio and Curazoa, new frigates of 36 guns each, arrived at Buenos Ayres, from New York, the 12th and 14th November. They were to be im mediately manned, and to proceed round Cape Horn. " Lord COCHRANE was hourly looked for at Valparaiso, when the expedition would proceed at once against Lima." [ANOTHER ACCOUNT.] Extract of a Letter from the Agents to Lloyd's, at Buenos "lyres, dated Nov. 22. " By an Express, arrived from St. Jago de Chili, we have accounts of the capture of the Spanish frigate La Reyna Maria Isabel, mounting 50 guns, in the Port of Talcahuano, by the Patriot vessels General San Martin, and Lantaio. It is likewi'e reported, that four of the transports of the Expedition from Cadiz to Lima, under the couvoy of that frigate, had beets taken. The Chili Gazette, of the Bth, only gives the capture of the convoying ship ; on the 12th inst. arrived the Horatio ,and Cureazo frigates from New York, where they were built ; they will have from 32 to 36 guns, with a complement of 200 men ; on the 6th inst. arrived the Spanish ship San Thomas, prize to the Vigilance ship priCateer, from this Port ; and on the 18th inst. arrived the Spanish brig Diligente, from La Gityra to St. Domingo, prize to the tame privateer." We received this morning the Paris Papers of Monday last. The following are extracts : " PARIS, Fes. 8. — Yesterday, before mass, the Duke de Fernan Nunez had a private audience of the King, and delivered a letter from his Catholic Majesty, notifying the death of -Queen Maria Louisa, his August Mother. " The Court goes into mourning to-morrow on account of the death of the Queen Maria Louisa, of Spain, for twenty-one days, eleven in black and ten in white. " Yesterday his Majesty, after hearing mass in his apartments, received in his Cabinet the Mi nisters, Marshals of France, Great Officers of the Crown, Peers, Deputies, the Military, &c. " The Court of Madrid has sent the Royal Order respecting foreigners in the ranks of the insurgents in South America to all the Spanish Ambassadors at the different Courts of Europe. " VIENNA, JAN. '27.—We learn from Venice that the Count Capo d'lstria, Secretary of State of Russia, after making a short stay in that city, set out the 18th instant, to proceed by the way of Florence and Naples to Corfu. " HAMBORGH, J AN. 30.—General Gourgand having addressed the Austrian Minister here, in order to ascertain whether he might be permitted to fix his residence at Prague, in Bohemia, has received an answer, stating, that he would be allowed to establish his residence at Prague, but upon conditions, that be might be transfer red to any other place in the Austrian Empire which the Government should chuse, if such a measure should be deemed necessary. Gen. Gour gaud, not being disposed to submit to thidcondition, has renounced his design of proceeding to Austria. The General seems to wish to prolong his stay in this city." (From the Washington City Gazette of the 12th January.) The appointment of Joetti GRAHAM, Eq. as Minister to the Portuguese Court at Brazil, in South America, bas been confirmed by the Se nate. M. GRAHAM iS expected to set out imme• it diately. The present Minister, Jr. Stimr l.6-7 6 is said, has requested leave to return to United States.
