The Gazette de France dated Thursday has been received. It contains from the Augsburgh Gazette the Protocol of the conferences rela tive to the new Treaty for the pacification of the East. This new Treaty is in the spirit of the first; it stipulates that though operations may b e necessary, both by sea and land, yet that none of- the Powers shall seek an aggran dizement of territory, or' any other advantages . • Extracts will be found in another column.

We have been looking with the most eager expectation for the arrival of the first Tartar from Constantinople, after the battle of Navarin was known there. He came, and the Pacha immediately sent for the Consuls of the three Allied Powers, and declared to them that whatever might be the final issue of the political ne,rotiations, he would give them and the subjects of their sovereigns entire protection. No European, therefore, think s of leaving Egypt, even in the case of war. The finances of the Pacha are in a most deplorable condition, and no idea can he formed of the scarcity of money here. r.}:ol - 10ttr, J AN. 16. We have received letters loin Malta to the 7th of Jan., which bring the following particular! :—" An E nglish , corvette and a brig sailed yesterday to join the other ship, off Carabusa, in order to keep that nest of pirates in check, In the harbour of Malta there are four Russian ships of time line, two frigates, and two brigs; also some English frigates and brigs. The English ships of the line, Asia and Albion, and the Rose corvette, sailed for England six weeks ago. By an Austiian brig we have news from Constantinople to tho 25th Dec., the Government had detained a number of ships laden with corn, among which were eight Maltese, had taken the cargoes at a certain fixed price, an d then suffered the ships to sail in ballast, with ou t o b s t ac le. A •. Sardinian ship, which has arrived in seven d a y s f ro m Na val* brings the news that Ibrahim Pacha h a d s ec retly embarked for Alexandria, but this is only a report, which . - is much in need of confirmation. A Courier lately arrived (at Leghorn), in sixteen days, . from St. Petersburgh, going to the Russian Admiral at Malta. Notwithstanding the many indications of war, the gene ral opinion here is in favour of peace. The prices of corn do not rise. SICTILNA, DEC. 8. The Warren, American corvette, Captain Kearney, re turned here yesterday from a cruize in the Archipelago, with two piratical vessels, which it has taken, besides de stroying many others. At Andros he not only found the pirates who had plundered the Cherub and the Rob iZoy,. hut discovered one of the proprietors of the numer t'ua mistics which infest those seas. In his house were found the papers of the Cherub partly torn, with many articles belonging to those ships. As the criminal was nut to be found the Captain ordered his house, which was just new, built of stone, with the fruits of many years piracy, to be blown up, which was immediately done. Though the pirate was not to be found the Captain obtained positive information, from which it appeared he must be at Smyrna, whither he generally goes to dispose of his ,plunder. Hr was indeed here a few days ago, but is gone again. When the people of Andros saw how the Americans chastised those who attacked their flag, they promised Capt. Kearney to der their utmost that the ships of his nation in the Archi pelago might be no more molested. Montreal of the 31st, and Quebec Papers the 29th December, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, 'chi. New York. From the former we learn, thz.l on that morning, HORATIO GATES, U. Holt- WOOD, CAMPBELL SWEENY, and THOMA, PonTrous, Esqrs., left that City, for Quebec. They carry with them the Loyal Address of the inhabitants of the city and district of Montreal, favourable to the present Administration ; it has annexed to it about 5,000 signatures ; man more were due, but the Address was necessaril- : despatched without them. On the 4th a Meeting of the inhabitants of Le Prairi took place, agreeably to public notice. when E. HENRY, Esq., was called to the Chair, and ISAAC JONES, Esq., to act as Secretary. After a brief statement of facts, two resolution , were passed by acclamation. These resolutions stated the late extraordinary and unconstitutional conduct of the House of Assembly regarding the appointment of Speaker, and loudly called for an expression of their sentiments thereon ; and that it is highly expedient to address • the Governor on the oc casion, expressive of their loyalty and attach ment to his Majesty's Government, and their approbation of his conduct in pro roguing the. Parliament. Similar meetings of the inhabitants of the town of William Henry, for the same purposes had taken place, as well Three Rivers, Glengary, - Chambley, New Glas gow, Terre Bonne,. and part of the County of Effingham.

To-day being a holiday at the Bank and both Stock Exchanges the dealers in the Funds have met as usual on the Royal Exchange, where business has been doing to a greater extent than usual on such occasions, and the appearance has continued heavy ; the first price qubted for Consols was 85- i t , and some private bargains have been effected at 651, sellers, the market has since had a weak appearance, and the general observation is that no person need consider them extremely desirable even at 85i; they are, however, called buyers at this rate. • In the. Foreign Funds Mexican Bonds have still further declined from 40i to 38, some persons will insist they have been 37k, but we have reason to consider . 38 as the lowest rate they have actually been at to-day, they are now somewhat *recovered, and are called 38 9 ; some enquiry has been made this morning about Brazilian and Buenos Ayres Bonds, under the impression that peace between these Powers may be reasonably expected; the packet from the river Plate is expected every hour, a vessel from thence on the 9th Dec. having arrived, but no letters are yet up from her. The Brazilian blockade ' of the river Plate is a mere farce, and the vessels from Buenos. AyTes proceed :and enter the .River without the least difficulty. It is stated in the City that, zit the latest dates, every thing remained in a state of the greatest quiet, at Constantinople, and the Reis Effendi had called the English residents to inquire why they appeared alarmed; if it arose from the Ambassadors having' left, he informed them he would be their Consul- General, and any complaints they had to make - might be made to him, and their wrongs (if any) he would redress, assuring them, at the same time, of the pro tection of the TurkishGoverninent. The same com munication is understood to have been made to the Franks at Smyrna. The French Funds are understood to come over a little lower, which may account in a small degree for the flatness of the English Consols. TWO O'CLOCK. Consols, ; Mexican Bonds, 381 1. HALF-PAST TWO.

The MAR.- ertrosEss, - attended by Mr. STA d r• WYATT, PLETON an A M • were in the carriage, and upon hearing of the accident the Marchioness fainted, but was restored after taking a glass of water. The party then proceeded to the theatre, and after having conducted the Marchioness to her box,. Mr. STArLEToN immediately proceeded to enquire after the welfar e of the youth, and expressed his satisfaction that the accident was not of a serious nature, and having presented the youth with some money, had him sent home. The Marquis of LoNnottnrattt, some time after the accident had happened, joined the party at the theatre. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF KING'S BENCH. This being a licensed Ecclesiastical holiday (the Purification of the Blessed Virgin), it was a dies non in all the Courts of Law. HIGH COURT OF DELEGATES. No business of the slightest importance came on this morning, and the Court rose early. SHERIFF'S COURT. -RED-LION-SQI TARE. 'WHITEHEAD V. CRISP. In this case an . action had been brought by tl , plaintiff, an ostler at the Wellington public-house, the Old Kent Road, against the defendant, th. , landlord of the Plough Inn, Bromley Common, to recover compensation for injuries sustained by reason of the defendant riding over him. The defendant having suffered judgment to go by default, the cast came on to-day at this Court for the purpose of having damages. assessed. Mr. LAW stated the case for the plaintiff. It ap peared that on the 3d of September, 1826, the plain tiff was removing some hay horn a trough, when the defendant, who was returning from London, rode furiously over him. The poor man's leg was very much lacerated, and his arm and side were also greatly injured, and he received an internal injury which has since afflicted, and is likely neither to abate or determine durinc, hi s life. Mr. Longley, the landlord of the Lord Wellington public-house, in whose employment the plaintiff is, proved that the defendant was riding on the wrong side of the road when the accident occurred. After passing over the plaintiff, the horse got upon the footway. The defendant returned in a few minutes, and gave Whitehead, who was insensible at the time, a sovereign, promising that he would also pay the surgeon's bill. The plaintiff was attended by a surgeon, whose charge for attendance amounted to 3/. 2s. The witness paid the amount, and has since received it from _Whitehead. The witness believed that the bill had been presented to the defendant, who refused to discharge it, notwithstanding , his promise. The plaintiff since he sustained the injury, has been unable to do his own work, and is obliged to procure the assistance of another ostler. Wm. Brown, the ostler alluded to, proved that, for the last fifteen months, he has been occasionally employed by the plaintiff, who always paid him 2s. 6d. a day. The witness was sure that in all he has received 51. from the plaintiff. Messrs. Pritchard and Bradley, surgeons, stated the nature and injury inflicted on the plaintiff. They werq . decidedly of opinion that he never could get rid of the effects of the internal injury. Evidence was given of the defendant's circum stances, which are said to be affluent. Mr. DAMPIER addressed the Jury for the de fendant, and called a witness to prove that he had a conversation with the plaintiff, in which lie stated that be would probably get something more from the defendant, by pretending that his injuries were greater than they really were. Mr. LAW replied. The SUB-SHERIFF summed up the evidence, when the Jury assessed the damages at 804 • THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) t per Load of 3E3 Trusse-J.) MES'S. F 1 AY MA 11 KE ST.

Free CARR ROCK BEACON,—The shipping of the Frith of Forth have derived great advantage from this useful work. Frotn the time of its erection, in the year 1818, now a period of ten years, not a single wreck has occurred upon the Carr rock, and only two on the foul ground, near Fifeness. On the contrary, during the nine ears preceding its erection, no fewer than sixteen vessels (brigs and sloops) were ascertained to have been wrecked on these dangerous reefs. Indeed, it was formerly an adage among the fishermen of Fifeness, " That if the Carr misses her mark one year, .she is sure to have two tile next." —Caledonian Mercury. THE FRENCH THEATRE. A little piece, entitled " Les Freres Feroces," was performed last night with much—but not un deserved —success, at this (English Opera) Theatre. It is apparently founded on our " Critic," and its prototype, the " Rehearsal," but sufficient origina lity remains to give it an air of novelty. Perlet too—the sprightly versatile Perlet—who is fast growing upon the public favour, benefitted it con siderably by his airy humour; indeed he was almost the sole individual to whom marked deference on the part of his audience was shown. In our admira tion of Perlet, however, we must not forget Madame Jaspin, who went through adifficult character with no slight success. She is supposed to be Perlet's (Mon sieur Bonardin) housekeeper; and in one scene where she hears one of the performers in the mock melo drame (which is represented a-la-critic) pronounce himself an assassin, her astonishment was truly comic. The rest of the actors did what little they had to do with respectability, but with the single exception of Perlet there is no first-rate talent among them. This is unfortunate, especially as the theatre is more than likely to become fashionable tlii season. The house was well attended. WINDSOR, FEB. I.—The KING'S health almost completely re-established, and the pony phaetons arc kept in constant readiness for his MA.TEsnr to take his ac customed excercise. Yesterday afternoon the Marquis 01 ANOLESEA arrived at the Royal Lodge, and had a long au. dience of his MAJESTY. The Duke of CLARENCE left his residence in the Admiralty about ten o'clock yesterday morning for His Royal Highness will, it is expected, inspect in the course of the day, his Majesty's ship Asia, and the other vessels of war engaged in the action at Na varin, which have lately arrived at Portsmouth. The Princess SOPIIIA visited the Duchess of CLARENCE yesterday at the Admiralty, and partook of a dejeune with her Royal Highness. The Duchess of KENT entertained the Duchess of CLARENCE, Princess Emus of Carolath, Prince HOHENLOHE, and a select party to dinner yester day, at her apartments at the King's Palace, Kensington. A Gentleman arrived at the Foreign Office, Downing-street, about three o'clock yesterday afternoon, with despatches from some of the Italian States. Soon after the arrival of the despatches, a number of the Ca binet Ministers assembled at the Foreign Office, Down ing-street. Among those present were—the Duke of WzL LINCTON, Earls lianitrasx, DUDLEY, and Asmtnrzti, and Lord EI.LENBOROUGII. The Ministers continued assem bled about an hour. Mr. HusKlssoN arrived in town yesterday. afternoon from his sts s t at I' i :saintly, in Sussex. The Right Hon. Gentleman had an interview at the Colonial Office with the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.

A report is in circulation that Admiral Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON has been superseded. Ministers do not seem to participate in the Admiration of the Philhel lenes for the battle of Navarin. A Cabinet Council was summoned at the Foreign Office, yesterday, on the arrival of a King's messenger from Corfu. The Turks demand an indemnity of 150 millions of piastres for the destruction of their ships. That an indemnity is in contemplation seems very likely, from the tenor of the KING'S Speech, and the subsequent allusions of Ministers in both Houses. The eventual remittance of this money to Constantinople would augment our exports l—lfforning Herald. We gladly request the attention dour readers to an account in our paper of to-day, of the proceedings at a General Court of the Scottish Widows' Fund and Life Assurance Society, which is founded on the original model of the Equitable 'Office, Bridge-street, Blackfriars. Judg ing from the great popularity and tried excellence of the principles on which it is founded, as well as the distinguish ed success that has hitherto attended the Society, we can have no doubt that this Institution will attain the same eminence in the Northern part of the Kingdom that the Equitable has so long and justly held among ourselves. CONCERT AT GUILDHALL.—The liberal intentions of the Corporation of London, in granting the use of this spacious building for the purpose of a cowert for the benefit of the Spanish and Italian Refugees, have been followed up by the Committee of Management with great industry and spirit. A spacious orchestra, calculated to hold a larger band than has ever been assembled in the City of London, and capable of, giving their full effect to the chorusses of HANDEL and HAYDN, is constructing, and a tine-toned organ, erected fer the occasion, was yesterday opened by Sir Gxomax SMART, in the presence of the LORD MAYOR and the Committee. A grand fancy dress ball, in honour of his MAJESTY'S Accession to the Throne, was kid on Tues day last, at the Theatre Royal, Bath. It was very nume rous and splendidly attended. - Mr. HEAvislDE's Bali at the Rooms, on Monday ni g ht, was attended by upwards of a thousand per sons of rank and fashion.—Bath Herald. Cllictmarn THEATRE.--On Tuesday evening, the comedy of" The School for Scandal" was per formed, for the benefit of Mr. EDWARDB and Miss MERIT. We have frequently had occasion to speak of the supe riority of this lady's acting, &c., at the Surrey and Rich mond Theatres. No better proof need be adduced of the satisfaction she has given at Chichester, than that of wit nessing the company she drew together on the night of her benefit, which was under the patronage of Capt. Pultrars and the Officers of the 7th Hussars. The boxes exhibited a display of elegance and respectability, equal to any thing we have seen before during the season. The play went off exceedingly well, after which, Mr. EDWAILDS and Miss MERIT sang " 18 hen a little Farm we Keep," in a very am using manne r " The Dashing White Serjeant," by Miss HIBBERT, was loudly , encored.

She received, as she truly merited, repeated and very general applause. We have been furnished with several instances of the mildness of the weather, which we have enjoyed for 90 11IC days past. On Saturday afternoon, during a very heavy shower of rain, thrushes were heard to sing with great vigour in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh. On Friday, a large dark-coloured butterfly appeared in a wright's shop at Carron, and bounced with much vivacity against the iron casement of the window, when, as if stunned by the shock, it seemed to languish and die. To preserve such a rarity, it was removed to the vicinity of a stove, where it soon revived, and, confined in a box, it enjoys excellent health,--,Edinburglt Weekly Chronicle. THE REV. ROBERT TAYLOR. It would appear that the Civic Authorities have not relinquished the intention of bringing Mr. Tay lor and his associates to trial for conspiring to bring the Christi an re li g i on i nto contempt , notwithstand ing the discussion which took place on the subject in the Court of Common Council. The Reverend Orotor this day received the following notice from the City Solicitor: " THE KING V. ROBERT TAYLOR, INDICTED WITH OTHERS.

BRITISH EXHIBITION, PALL-MALL. — We have been favoured with a private view of this very improving Collection of Paintings, from the works of man) of our first Masters. From the lateness of the hour, we must defer our comments till Monthly. ADMlRALTY.—Yesterday a Board was held at the Admiralty Office, for the purpose of hearing and de ciding upon the claims of invalided sailors and marina•, whose length of service, &c., entitled them to be admitted either as in or out-pensioners to the Royal Hospital at Greenwich. Mr. BARROW passed the successful appli cants, and at the close of the business twenty claimants were placed upon the pension list, and nineteen were ad mitted into the establishment at Greenwich. The following notice is posted at the Admi ralty :—" His Royal Highness the LORD HIGH ADMIRAL will in future see Naval Officers on Wednesdays instead of Thursdays, at one o'clock ; the number of auditors limited to each day is twenty-five." BURNS'S BIRTH-DAY.-011 the evening of Tuesday last, a numerous company, composed chiefly of the " Sons of Scotia," admirers of the productions of ROBERT BURNS, dined together at the house of Mr. Coox, the BUM' Head, in this town, to commemorate the natal day of that distinguished Scottish poet.—Sheifield Courant. IRISH CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.-FOUR TEEN DAYS MEETING.—(LAST DAY.)—Mr. SHEILL, in a long and somewhat florid speech, marked, however, by his usual ability, moved an address to the KING, founded upon the Letter written by the authority of his MAJESTY, by Lord SIDMOUTH, on the 23d Sept. 1821. It was carried. OTWAY CAVE, Esq. M.P. for Leicester, will, it is said, lead one of Sir F. BURDETT'S daughters to the altar.—Nuttingham Review. A magnificent print, " Tivoli, a composition," engraved by GOODALL, from a drawing by TuuNER, It- A., has recently made its appearance. The subject has been treated by this celebrated Artist in his happiest style; he has mingled fancy with reality, and combined the most striking beauties of nature with the loveliest creations o; art. The ruined temples, the rich foliage, the clear water, and the classic forms, are all introduced with such perfec! harmony, as to satisfy the mind that nothing is wanting to complete a finished picture. As an engraving, it is one co the most masterly productions of the British school— forcible, delicate, and effective. It has, we understand, employed Mr. Goonam, nearly thtee years ; and has been produced at the cost of Mr. ALLNUTT, a distinguished pa. tron of the Fine Arts of this country. th( The London• Mail did not arrive to-night till half-past five o'clock, owing, we are sorry to say, to it , being upset by au accident, near Moffat, by which an En: not be got out til glish gentleman, an outside passenger, was so much injure(' that no hopes are entertained of his recovery.

Reports are various as to the manner in which the Command-in-Chief of the Army, recently vacated by the First Lord of the Treasury, is about to bss filled up. Many persons have said that a cornms sion will be appointed, and that it will consist of Lord Hill, Lord Fitzrssy Somerset, and Sir Herbert Taylor. It must be some bitter enemies of the Duke of Wellington who have circulated so seandalous report. If his Grace was called upo n , as he himself admitted, by the unanimous voice of his colleagues, and (as he did not think necessary to 'acknowledge) by the loud and eager remonstrances of the people, to release them from the chains of a military -govern• ment, it could not be meant either by those of die Ministers who declarssi their real sentiments, or by any man in England who was not a Minister, that a merely nominal surrender of the command in chief would suffice to satisfy the country, or that the Duke of Wellington would have one jc less controul over the army, and less military patronage at his disposal, daring the ostensible Administration of Lord .H;11, the Noble Duke's former Lieutenant and protege, and of Lord Fitzroy Somerset, his Secretary to in a very hour, than while the latter Officer bore only the tide of Secretary, and his Grace that of Chief Commander. It is impossible, we repeat, to believe that the Duke of Wellington can lend himsef to so complete a fraud upon the nation, when such h:air claims, and just ones, as we are anxious to in them, have been made by his Grace's Parliamet try advocates, for manly, upright, and straight : tin d proceedings, on the part of this successful .Officer. We repeat once more, that such a trick is now in credible, as if actually attempted would be into lerable, viz. the putting of two men of straw to exe cute under his eye, but on their own responsibility, the Administrative manoeuvres which he was to dic tate, and for purposes of which he only, their patron and commanding officer, was to judge. No, we cannot . believe that even if the Duke of Wel. lington were so little scrupulous with regard to principles (a suspicion which we disavow and depre cate), he could, even for the sake of appeal antes, be so incautious as this paltry subterfuge would suppose him. He is told that the military position w high he had chosen is at once dangerous and indecent, while he has certain duties to discharge in Downing- , street ; and his Grace, in a panic of decorum, does — what ? Does he bond fide withdraw his person from the Horse Guards ? No, never an inch, say his calumniators; but instead of standing front" as heretofore, he turns simply to the right about, and exhibits his hinder parts to the public in the shape of a pair of military ptoxies. New, we protest.against the imputation of meaning any slight to these gallant and distinguished gentlemen. No men have behaved better in. their respective stations before an enemy, than Lord Fitzioy Somerset and Lord Hill; but we put it to their o , .vsi common sense, whether they arc not the last men in the kingdom to be intrusted with a power which the Duke of Wellington ought not to exercise ? There seems, however, besides the reasonableness of the thing, good ground for suspecting that no such ar rangement as that to which we demur has been roe ditated, much less actually settled. More than one high independent name has been mentioned for tl]e office. But if Lord Donoughmore be too indolent, and rather too much advanced in years; and if Lord Rosslyn should object to its bringing him into a closer contact than might be desirable with ;:o mixed a Ministry, what objection could be made to such a man as Lord William Bentinck, provided his Lord• skip would, for so great a public object, forego his lucrative but irksome Government in the East • Lord William Bentinck's appointment to the contra mand of the army would, we make bold to say, he esteemed alike honourable to the Duke of Well ng ton and to himself, and would inspire the country with confidence.—Times. It affords us much pleasure to hear,—but to sea it will be doubly gratifying,—that the gallant Duke at the head of - the Treasury has determined to smash all political jobbers, and to cut away, with a bold and sinewy arni, the whole vile system of cot-. rupt merchandise in places of trust, and in honour able as well as lucrative promotion. Let him, like the great and Noble Lord St. Vincent, but fairly by this enterprise, and his fame for moral courage will soon eclipse the brightest radiance of his mili tary renown. Let-him succeed in it against an in triguing Court (all Courts are so),—against an aris tocracy at once greedy, haughty, intolerant, and supple,—against the importunate remonstrances of friends, the ungrateful sneers of neutrals, or oi'mar ketable enemies, and in behalf of a suffering, but dis criminating, and honest people,—and no reputation that ever adorned the page of English history can stand a comparison with that of Arthur, Dule of Wellington,. for the good which he will have achieved, and for the glory, both individual and na , tional, which future ages will associate with his name, to the most distant generations. In the mean time,—to descend to a more ignoble, though not an irrelevantsubject,—is it true that ilMr. Basil Montagu has been put in nomination for the vacant Welch Judgeship ? We ask the question, beaus, it leads to a second, viz.—is this appointment aob ? And if so, whose job is it ? Not Lord LyndhurX3 —not the Prime Minister's own job, we are sure. Can we go higher ? or ought we ? Odd stories a re about, concerning amiable but somewhat oldish re collections, not perhaps quite giave enough to jus tify such a promotion of such a barrister, who, we are informed, never went a circ:iit in his life. Would it not excite a curious mixture of emotions, to see an illustrious personage give way to histrionic syto pathies of such ancient standing as 1790, and re suming the once-loved attributes of " Hal," pro mote an old Hinchinhroke comrade of the buskin, - after thirty-eight years, into " Mr. Jusiicc. Shal low?"—lbid. We are glad to see the regret expressed by nearly all the Provincial Papers of character, at the seces ' sion from the Government of the Whig Members. A general apprehension in entertained, that those Members of the Government who entertain more liberal opinions than their collj?agues, will be enabled to give etfect to them, on account of the preponde ' ranee of the others. " Who does not know well , " says The Scotsman, " that all which was accom plishedortwo moderate countryfortheNl,higs into 'ts a the cab ii; admissionof a oe v Tories, to enable them to stand their g rou nd against an apparently infuriated band of Ultra To r i es ?....... The Whig infusion is again thru st out—which i s not inl of e ' r one at discreditable to them, s i nc e it seems only to prove their sincerity and consiste nc y ." Tlte Dubli n Even ing Post, in • lik e man ner, regrets " the secession of give those Members who could to Mr. Huskisson's principles effect an d su pport. We think, in fact, Lord Lansdowne, Lord Carlisle, and Mr. Tierney Ns'ould do more for the cause in which Mr. tltr.i-, kisson has laboured 6, strenuously, than Lord 13a. thurst, Lord Melvil le, and Mr. Henries. Agreeing, as the medera te Whigs and liberal Tories did, on all f principles. o co mmerce and of foreign and domestic polio', it is yet to be explained why there was a se= pa ation betwee n them. Again, it is yet to be ex t,p,ined why Mr. H 1, - us -isson, even on personal go"nds) coalesced with the bitter enemies of his late friend Mr. ithdrew tanning, and w from that party who came to the aid of that friend in his hour of trial, and sus stained him against half the Aristocracy and ail the Tories of England." The same Journal, in an articl e in a former number, seems to think that the seed., ing Members have riot been properly supported b 7 the Press on this occasion. The Whigs, says our Contemporary, " have been described, we shall not say how truly, as a. party that have short memories as to their friends, a nd long ones as to th e i r eilmie3. It is certain, we believe, that they h ave not t h e i n . clination, even if they had the means, of attracting personal friends. They are said to be haughty and :epulsivc, and aristocratic in the most unple,isant ac .:.eptation of the term." The great fault we find .with the Whigs, is their want of knowledge of the strong hold they have of the country. We ha - ..e more than once stated, that the Newspapers through out the country, takinL , the Dumber circulated, are
