rINE ARTS. SCRAPS AND SKETCHES. Gorge Crnickshank again ! and most assuredly in all his glory. We have been delighted with these latest desiwns of our modern Hogarth (whose powers of it►vtntion are really surprising) ; they possess all his racy humour, so bread, yet so characteristic; his unrivalled satire, beneath which a shrewd moral often lies couched, and above all, his rich varieties of the human countenance, in which Mundell can alone compete with him. Amons the ir.•esent illus trationc, we would particularly point out " The ad varr:i!,:e- of a wooden le.,g upon a pinch;" an Old Poacher is represe:;ted as caught by his. wooden member in a 1 - n:tn.-trap, and his dog, a sly sinewy fel low, a bit . a r a scamp, and just the thing for a poacher, stands chuckling beside him, evidently con 7 gratulating•hirnself that he, - at least,isout of the scrape. Tile animal's look has a world of fun about it ; and reminds us of that most entertaining fox (mentioned seme months since in the papers), who When the cart in which he was being conveyed, but in a sepa rate department, with some fowls to London, broke down, sprang to a neighbouring hedge, finin whence the driver beheld him turn round, and licking his - lips, cast one parting and affeCtionatc glance towards the pullets. Next to this, perhaps, is " The Gen tleman intended for the Bar," which illustration consists merely of a single face, but such a face, such a dextrous combination of low humour and roguery, with petty larceny inscribed in legible characters on every lineament—the Tread-mill or the Old Bailey can alone hope to find its fellow. "The Age of Intellect" consists . of three or four allegorical designs, which must be seen—they cannot be described; enough to say that they possess in finite humour and f.ncy. We should like to see Cruikshank illustrate an edition (duly expurgated) of Rabelais; both have points in common, par ticularly as regards their powers of satirical allegory; a by ne means common qualification, MONKEYANA. PAIIT IV. Mr. Landseer is here tarrying his caricature of inen, under the - guise br monkeys, too far; his satire is worn threadbare—his incident is exhausted—his subject i 3 old ---and he should now take the hint, and beat t;., a retread, in time, lest, like the race horse in *Horace, " peccet ad extremum ridendns et ilia ditc.:4t." These. defects, however, apply solely to his conception, the execution of his different illustrations is still achieved with the hand of a master. The second engraving, entitled the " Tax cart," is full of vigor; the dog who draws the vehicle seems absolutely breathing, and will, we doubt not, excite much attention. The remaining illustrations are A more Or less desen'-ing of praise, .end we regret that our very limited space prevents us entering into further details. OPA'sMOUVE, JUNE 24.—Yesterday after ,,oo his Royal Highness the Duke of CL A RENCE, attended by the Boron de Ea.rea and the Hon. Captain SPENCER, l';s Royal HiqhneSB . 4 Private secretary, arrived here from toncksa. His Royal Highness iininetliate!y proeee.ded to the Commissioner's }muse, where he spent the evening.

Lady BYRON hearing the noise occasioned by th e sliding, immediately called out for assistance, and the depredators escaped. —Brighton Gazette. SUPPOSED CHILD .MURDEK.-011.Tues4ay afternoon, i❑ the neighbourlmed of Peckham, a boy, who was crossing the fields - near the Surrey Canal, sax a bundle, tightly tied up, lying in a (litchi on being opened, it was discoveied to be the body of a new-born infsnt.— The boy being terribly alwmed,, ran to tell some brick makers in an adjoining field what he had seen, and they instantly repaired to the spot, and took the bodyto the work house, where it was discovered a perforation had been made under the chin. A Coroner's jury is summoned for this day, at eleven o'clock, when the circumstances will be fully investigated. SHOCKING MURDEII.—A horrible murder was committed in Abbeyleix on Sunday. A man of the name of JzssoN, agent to the Ccrk Coach Company, took a blunderbuss belonging to one of the guards which was left inr his office, and having sought for his cousin, also named JessoN, took deliberate aim at hint, and killed him on the spot. The point in dispute between the patties was iL question of property. Both were Protestants.. The mur derer his been' secured and committed to Maryhorough j Morning Register. SMUGGLING.—From recent and careful en viries which we have wade of persons connected with both parties, we feel satisfie I that aningling on this coast has received within the last few months a more serious and etfectusl cheek than it 'ever met before. It le ex.• tremely difficult; arnidat the conflicting statements which are prompted by the interest or prejudice of individuals, to arrive at the truth ; but the result of diligent enquiry con vinces us that the fact is as we have stated.:—Brighton Gazette. THUNDER. TORAI.—On Sunday last, the city of Gloucester and its vicinity were visited by one of the moat awful thunder storms that has ban remembered for many years. The lightning, which iu several instances was observed to run along the ground, struck down part of one of the ornaments 'Jr pinnacles At the, top of the new church at the Spa, and destroyed several trees ; >but we are happy to add that no further accident occurred.— During the continuance of the storm the rain fell in.tor rents ; and the peals of thunder were so loud, that they resembled the discharge of numerous batteries of heavy ar tillery, and shook the houses to their foundations. — Cheltenham Chronicle. Sonic gentlemen of this town, in imitation of the , vholesale slaughterers of game, who invented the mer ciful recreation designated tinder the title of bating. are .e...ctistointil periodically to visit the rocks in the vicinity of Flarnhorough Head, for the purpose of brining to bag a few scores pi sea-fowl. In the course of last week, two boat-lo Ids of these aquatic sportsmen, consisting of seven individuals besides the boatmen, proceeded to the Head, tully equipped fur the diversion. After weathering . a rough sea, and encountering sotne other incidental difficulties, they made good their position under th e tuc ks, an d the shauting commenced. Whether they di sc h arge d b y vo lli es m platoonc, or whether the tiring was altog e ther mode pendent, we know not—but we are informed that the result of about two drys' hot work, furnished th e enormous quantity of 980 birds, of ditierent descrip , ions, comprising Nicol Racs, kittyvralse4, hassle, looms, wi!liiLlc, seagulls, parrot , , cormorants, blue rock pigeons, F,(7.. Th e t o w! , proceeds taf both days' sport were taken off by a spirit e d 9l,eculator in these fishy viands at the moderate sum of a penny per head, and were retailed in the market during th e Latter part of the last week at a reasonable advance Nan, the cost price. Indeed, what with the immense quantity inacharel that arrived last week, and the feathered tribes thus furnished in such profusion by the sportsmen above 'alluded to, it is supposed that the good town of Hull was never, since the creation, so amply replenished with 6 , .‘h Pad fowl. ...Hull Packet.

Mr. CALCRAFT took the Oaths and his seat. Air. Robinson, from the Woods and Forests, pre sented the Report of the Commissioners of Conway Harbour on the Holyhead Roads. Sir• E. KNATCHBULL presented a petition from the inhabitants of the Weald of Kent, in favour of the circulation of One Pound Notes.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. H. TWISS pOsentel a Copy of the Report of Major-General Macquarrie, and likewise a Letter from the Major-General to Earl Bathurst.—Ordered to be printed. MAIL FROM LIVERPOOL TO DUBLIN. Mr. G. DAWSON moved for a Copy of the Communications that had been made to the Post master-General on the subject of the e6tatillishment of Packets between Liverpool and Dublin, for the conveyance of the Mail. The Hon. Gentleman said, that he made this motion, in consequence of a petition that had been presented to the House some days ago, from the Directors of the st. George Steam Company, which stated that the Postmaster- General had gone to a very unnecessary expence i establishing Government Packets for the conveyance of the Mail, when that Steam Company had offered to convey the letters free of all cost. When that petition had been presented to the House, he had been unprepared, and therefore was not then able to contradict -the statements made in it Since that time, however, he had made some in-. guides, and the result was, that he found that a great part of the statements made in the petition were absolutely untrue.—(Hear, hear.)—The St George Steam . Company certainly had offered to' convey the Mail between Liverpool anti Dublin, but on : inquiry it was found that the accommodations they could offer for that purpose were by no means sufficient. According to their statement, the Com pany had thirteen -steam boats at their disposal. This might be the ease; but at all events only one of tliose thirteen 'sailed between Liverpool and Dublin, and therefore - this one only was applicable to the conveyance of the mail; but independently of this circumstance, the Company itself had refused to comply with the Post-office regulations as to the time of starting, &c., reserving to itself the right of waiting for passengers and . freight. Now this fact alone, as must be evident to every Hon. Member of that House, was sufficient to have put, a negative on their proposal. But besides this St. George Steam Boat Company, there was another of the name of the City of Dublin Steam Company— a Company as he understood most respectably con ducted, and which had no less than sixteen steam boats at work on that station. He mentioned this Company, because the Post Master General, after having decided that the offer of the Sr. George Conmany could net be accepted, had entered into a negotiation with the other; but here also they failed, as it appeared that this Company also found it ne cessary to decline undertaking to start at fixed hours and days ; and so uatisfied was this latter Company with. the justice of that decision; that they were ready to come forward and state, that they were perfectly content with what bad taken place. These being the circumstances of the case, the Postraaster-General had thought it necessary to have steam vessels built for the service of Go verntnent; and he (Mr. G. Dawson) was persuaded that when the House came to view the whole case, they would be of opinion, that a right decision had been come . to; especially when they understood that, owing to this arrangement, the carriage of the mail was effected in the most regular manner, there being, he btlieved, only one instance of delay hi the arrival in the course of the whole year that the boats had been running. Another point to which he wishak to call the attention of the HolLot was, that the petition 'of which he had been speaking stated that the expence of this poit-office establishment, after the sums received for passengers had been de ducted, was 10,0001. a year. Now this was totally untrue, as the •expenses, after that deduction, amounted to no more than - 4,300/. within the year; and, indeed, the whole expence of the Government steam-hoots conveying the snail to the different ports of Ireland, was no more than 27,000/., out of which 17,400/. (and to this item he begged to call the attention of the Hon. Member for Waterford, who had taken so active a part in the discussion on the petition) were expended in conveying the Mail be tween Milford and Waterford. The Hon. Gentle man then protested against its being imputed to Sir F. Reeling that he had adopted this system of Go vernment steam-boats for the sake of the patronage that went along with them (the real fact being, that the Commanders of the vessels were appointed by the Earl of Chichester), and concluded by moving for the returns already mentioned. Mr. L. FOSTER said that he had not heard any thing advanced by the Hon. Gentleman which in duced him.to alter the opinion that he had expressed on a former evening. The Hon. Gentleman had said that the expellee of these 'packets had only amounted to 4,3001. in the year, but in his opinion there ought to be added to that the expence that arose from keeping up the steam-boat establishment for letter's between Holyhead and Dublin, because he could 'not help thinking that one of these. two routes was entirely untlecessary.—(Hear, hear.) — For his own part, he did not see there was any ne cessity for the existence of the communication be tween Liverpool. and Dublin ;- the way by Holyhead was much shorter ; and he was -persuaded,.that if instead of vessels of only 80-horse power, that pas sage were provided with others of double that power, which was the case between Liverpool and Dublin, the mail would be conducted with greater advantage, and - with greater economy to the public. —(Hear, hear.). Sir H. PARNELL - agreed in opinion with the . Hon. Gentleman who hid just . sat down, and com plained, that after having spent 70,000/. on the Holyhead roads, Government was • now spending 70,0001. more in conveying letters by the Liverpool route, and thus inn manner rendering the sums that had been laid out on the Holyhead roads useless. To which might be added, that it was really a dis advantage to the merchants to have their letters sent by Liverpool; for although the lion. Gentleman (Mr. G. Dawson) had stated that great regularity had prevailed in the carrying of the letters, he woult; beg to remind that Hon. Gentleman, that last winter had been a peculiarly .favourable one, and that it would be much fairer to judge by the result of the . previous one, when the delivery had been so irre gular that the Liverpool merchants were obliged constantly to take the preCaution of sending, dupli-. eates of their letters of business, under. the appre bengion that one of them would miscarry.—(Hear.) - Sir JOHN NEWPORT complained of the dis position shown by the. Post Office to dispense with the communication established between . Milford Haven and Waterford ; and observed, that the re venue of the Post Office was ,only,revenue to the Government after every part of the correspondence between every part of the three kingdoms had been amply provided for. After a few words from Lord STANLEY, in favour of the CotnpanieF, and from _Mr. HusKtssoN, in de- I fence of the Establishments of the Post Office , Mr. DA W SON said, that the - Post Office had.! taken the earliest opportunity of reprobating the conduct of the Post Office Packets, in carrying the passengers at a lower rate than the Companies. The motion was then agreed to. Sir HENRY PARNELL presented a petition from 230 of the Merchants and Bankers of_LiVer pool, in favour of the Companies, and against the continuance of the Post Office Establishment. Mr. HUSKIS SON presented a petition from cer tain persons in Liverpool, in favour of the Post Office Establishment. INFANTICIDE IN INDIA. Mr. F. BUXTON moved for Copies of all Re turns received by the Government relative to the practice of infanticide in India; the Immolation of Widows on the Funeral Piles of their Husbands; and the Amount and Application of the Pilgrim Tax.—Ordered. SILK TRADE. Sir D. LLOYD presented a petition frOm the Silk Throwsters of Hollriell, in Flintshire, against the lipportation of Foreign Silk.. EXPORTATION OF MILITARY STORES. Mr. LITTLETON moved for a Return of all Cannon, Howitzers, Bombs, Shells, Cannon Balls, &c. exported from this country since the 30th of Sep- tember, 1825, specifying whether the exportation was with License or otherwise.—Oidered. SUPPLY OF WATER. Sir F. BURDETT presented a petition from some persons in the Western Part of the Metropo lis, relative to the supply of Water. • IMPRESSMENT OF SEAMEN. Sir F. BURDETT presented a petition from the Seamen of the Port of Wexford, against the. pressment of Seamen. The Hon. Baronet said it was now too late in the Session to bring the subject before the House; but his opinions were unchanged as to its cruelty and impolicy. ST. MARTIN'S-IN-THE-FIELDS. Mr. lIOBHOUSE moved that certain Returns From St. Mart in's-in-the-Fields be printed.--Agreed to. 1111PROVEMENTS-CROSS.-CROSS Mr. HOBHOUSE wished to put a question to the Noble Lord opposite. (Lord Lowther), respect ing the intended improvements at Charing-cross. There were many individuals who were anxious to be informed of the intentions of Government on this subject. They had large property involved in the matter, and he, therefore, on behalf of his consti tuents, wished to know in what time it was likely that these improvements should be carried into effect ? Lord LOWTHER said, that he had been but a short period in the office which superintended these improvements, and he could not give a precise answer to the questions of the Hon. Member. He had some knowledge of the subject, from a Com mittee on which be sat up stairs. There was great difficulty in carrying these improvements into effect, from the extravagant and exorbitant demands of the persons occupying howes in that part of the town. He would advise, that it might be as well perhaps to suffer some of the leases, which would terminate in about a year and a half, to expire. Out of 600 houses in that quarter of the town, more than 500 were agreed for. PREROGATIVE COURT OF CANTERBURY. Dr. PHILLIMORE obtained leave to bring in a Bill for regulating the office of registrars,and subor. dinate offices•of the Prerogative Court of Canter bury. ALEHOUSE LICENSING BILL. The Amendments of the Alehouse Licensing Bill xvere agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-morrow, if then engrossed. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Six. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated June 23.) CONsTANTINOPLE, MAY 31.—The following is the letter which the Reis Effendi has written to Count Guillerainot and Mr. S. Canning : " CONSTANTINOPLY, MAY 28.—The consolidation of the bonds of friendship and good understanding which had long united the Porte and the Courts of France and England having been the object of con tinual efforts on the part of those empires, the de parture of the Ambassadors from Constantinople was neither proper nor admissible ; and if, to the great displeasure of our friendship, fate would have it brought about, the prolongation of their absence has given us much pain. Besides, the ,situation of affairs clearly demonstrates that in return for the good sentiments and favourable dispositions with which the Sublime Porte has always been animated, the Courts of France and England have sincerely desired the maintenance of the happiest union. The news of the return of the Ambassadors to Corfu has been considered as a certain proof, and a real manifesta tion of friendship, and we have been much rejoiced at it. This event requires that we should make the first step to open in a proper manner the way of negotiations, former and recent declarations having demonstrated that the first and last wish of France and England,—the object towards which they tend, —is .to preserve the dignity and the prosperity of their ancient ally, the Sublime Porte, and to main- aitt its sovereignty and its power. "At the same time, as the system and the coi duct of the Sublime Porte have always been founded on the rights of justice, and as it is known to the whole world that it has always been a faithful ally, that it has constantly regulated its affairs according to the holy law, and that it has never suffered to wards its friends any Violation of the clauses of the treaties and the precepts of sincere friendship, this difference has, in: fact Appeared to be not very con- formable to the friendly relations of those two Courts. However, as this incident cannot impair the ancient and sincere friendship which prevailed between them ant l”as, besides, the pleasure. which friends experience at meeting again after a separation has always con tributed to renew their attachment, and to consoli date their union,---as besides, the first and last wish of the Sublime Porte, and its pure intentions tend to persevere in the path of virtue, and justice, and to maintain the general peace which its subjects enjoy, lastly ;—as the benevolent and just intentions of the two Courts the ancient and faithful allies of the Ot, tomari Government, are directed toward the same point, there is no doubt that in case the Ambassa dors should return to Constantinople, happily to ter minate by friendly conferences and a sincere under standing, the affairs which .have been treated:be tween us, according to the pure intentions and the favourable. sentiments of the respective empires, they would be received with.all possible distinction. " In consequence of this declaration, we' expect with the most sincere impatience the return of your Excellency to this capital. .We write this for your Excellency's information, and to express the par ticular esteem which we have for you... Your friend . hopes that if by the will of God your Excellency receives this letter, and reflects upon its contents, you will employ all yeur kind zeal to consolidate the edifice of good understanding conformably to our desires. " 11Rfore writing this letter, the Reis Effendi had submitted to the Mini4er of the Netherlands four questions respecting the convention of the 6th of July, and the invasion of the Russians. M. Zuvien Von Nierelt replied to him in writing, that the Rus sian question was entirely distinct frotn that of Ihe pacification of Greece, the only one in which Fiance and England took part; but that no arrangement with these two Powers could be hoped for, except by a full and entire assent to the convention of the 6th of July, and that the Porte would be in error if it thought otherwise. In general the diplomatic body at 'Pena consider this step of the Reis Effendi as ill - sufficient, and as one of those dilatory promises of which that Miniiter has been so lavish, and which hare not led to any result. " The Sultan appears to pay much more atten tion to the interior, than to the war with the Rus sians, and to fear revolt among the troops, whose [ discontent increases. - A mutiny has taken place among those cantoned in the plains of Tray, which was quelled entirely by the presence of mind of the Paella of the Dardanelles. The Mille thing has happened at Salonichi. Accordingly, the public in general believe that Hussein Pacha and Chalil Pacha,. who are gone to the army of the Danube, have in fact been sent only. as negociators to the Russian head-quarters. " The Government has just learnt that a revolt has broken out iii the province of Erzerum, and that the Russians arc advancing on that'side also. " Miaulis, who is cruising about the Dardanelles, has captured, in sight of the forts, several Turkish vessels with rich cargoes. Tapir Pacha has been sent against him with three brigs and some fireeshipS. " PARIS, JUNE 23.—We are at this moment In; formed that the revolt at Oporto is quelled. ; The Infant Don Miguel had only to show himself to the revolted to make them lay down their arms. Though none of our letters yet gives this news, we hasten to lay it before our readers, without, however, an swering for it."

MESSAGE OF THE. PRESIDENT TO THE CONSTITUENT CON- GRESS ON THE OPENING OF THE SESSION, FEBRUARY 25, 1828. MEMBERS OE CONGRESS—Your union takes place under circumstances more fortunate'than the Re public has ever experienced. The ardent desire long since manifested by the people for a Constitu tion—their disgust of anti-social doctrines—their hearty weariness of past agitations—the perfect har mony and tranquillity at present enjoyed by the Republic—are' unequivocal symptoms of the arrival of that period so long prayed for by the people of Chili, when they may obtain the blessing of an en lightened Constitution, which, in indemnifying them for their enormous sacrifice in the cause of independence, may satisfy their wants, and - lay the foundation of their future aggrandizement and hap piness. To you, Gentlemen, the good fortune has been given to conclude the Revolution, and to commence a new era of order and prosperity ; and to me that of announcing the speedy termination of the cruel and fratricidal war in the South, waged by savage banditti in the name of Spain, which has so long kept our southern provinces in a state of agitation and alarm. The provinces of Conception and Maule, for tnany years the scene of such sanguinary conflicts, are at length restored to tranquillity. The towns and villages, which had well nigh disappeared from the face of our territory, are rising again from their 'Mils, and their inhabitants again are permitted to taste the blessings of freedom and of peace. No inauspicious events have occurred to disturb public order during the seven months of your recess; and if in one or two towns some l►ttle commotions have taken place, they may be attributed'to our in experience in the use of popular elections. Wherever they have occurred the voice of authority has beta invariably respected, and internal tranquillity restored without violence, and without sacrifice. Such is the fortunate situation of all the people of the Re public from Atacama to Chiloe, and it is the best pledge they can offer to the national representation of the respect and confidence with which. they look forward to the results of its enlightened labours. Our relations of friendshp .and commerce with all the Republics of the New World continue un interrupted. The Minister of the United States, after completing the high objects of his embassy, has returned to his own Gauntry, leaving a Charge d'Affaires. Vie Republics of Mexico, Guatemala, and Colombia, are pursuing their career of civiliza tion, undisturbed by the relentless obstinacy of the Spanish Cabinet. In Peru our, Minister is still re sident, as the commerce of the two Republics renders necessary the removal of some of the still surviving fetters and prejudices of past times.. The welfare of both States demands a new order in our mercantile relations, and the GoVernment has every thing to hope from the wise co-operation of the. Peruvian Legislature, and the symprthy of interests which so closely unites the one Republic to the other. The Argentine Republic continues with dignity her honourable contest with the Emperor of Brazil. It has been the misfortune of this Republic to have for her neighbour a crowned head, by whom she has been forced into a• war, from which neither her honour nor the principles she professes would per mit her to escape. Alone, and without other auxi liaries than her own heroism, and the justice of her . . . cause, she has entered the lists of honour, and main tained the cause of Republics against Thrones. She has preferred the calamities of war to degrading con cessions —a terrible alternative, but an instruction to the people of America of the nature of vicinity to a Sovereign Power. . The Government has thought that the national dignity demanded the withdrawal from London of the Minister to the British Court, in consequence of his not having been recognized there in that cha racter. The conduct of this functionary has entitled him to the thanicsand esteem of the Government, for his indefatigoble attention to the interests of the Republic, and for the important services he has per- formed. A Consul General ha. been appointed, who will be recognised as such by the British Cabinet, and who will be necessary at that Court in matters connected with the Loan. His Majes‘ty the King of France has manifested his good will to the Republic by nominating Consul. General to reside in this Capital. The'senti meats of that Cabinet are eminently favourable to the new American States, and our future commer cial relations with France will'he more extended and better regulated. Our financial system has reached such a degree of disorganization as to fail of providing with certainty for the ordinary expenses; and be quite insufficient therefore for meeting the heavy debt' that weighs upon the Republic. Order and perspicuity it would be useless to look for. And entanglement of ambi• guous and contradictory regulations—a plan of col lection, expensive from the multitude of offices, and obscure from the complicated method of its proceed ings—immense disproportion and irregularity in the contributions—these are the characteristics of our present fiscal system. To relieve. it from this state the Government has carried' into effect some preparatory measures, and among these was that of ordering the liquidation of the internal debt up to the end of April of last 5-ear : nor did it hesitate to include the debt anterior to the year lfilk wider the . Spanish administration.— Powerful motives of justice and propriety recom mended this measure, which has been uniformly adopted by the new Republics of our Continent. With the view to consolidate this debt, and to commence the systematic improvement of our reve nue, Government, with the approbation - of the Com mittee of Congress, published a decree establishing au Office of Public Credit, and a Redemption Fund.. 'lts further proceedings have been limited to the application of the Win of six hundred thousand dollars to the important object of, military reforms, re serving for your sanc ti on t h e recognition of other debts; but the 0 - averment has, awaited your meet ing, previous to the final establishment of the Re- demption Fund, for the purpose of giving every va lue and importance to an act so eminently national. All the elements of improvement are at hand, and the necessary plans will be submitted to . you by the Minister of Finance, in order that, under your su perintendence, our syStem of revenue maybe esta blished on a solid and permanent foundation. committees appointed by the Government are ' employed in improving our commercial regi lotions, c ustom-houses, ard fiscal offices of every descrip tion; the result of their labours will be laid-before you. All those branches require a radical reform, as well for the purpose of reviving national in dustry, as for increasing the amount of revenue, 'and terminating the system of disputes and vexations. In speaking to you, Gentlemen, of our foreign debt, or of the unfortunate English Loan ' you will feel, with me, the most profound regret, if you con- sider the deplorable consequences that have resulted t, our credit, ,owing to the want of punctuality in the payment . '.Of the. dividends. The nation has borne, with the :utmost readiness,, an Estanco (or tax)- on various , articles- . of consumption, in or der ,thaf:this payment Might..'he made, and the national honour freed from . :reproach; but im perious necessity determined. the national Re presentation, in the year 1826, to appro priate the greater part of its produce to the main tenance of the operative force. This application is still observed, and the dignity of the Chilian nation, of Congress, of every local tribunal, demands the assignment of permanent and sufficient funds for the .payment of the dividends already due, and of those that shall annually become due hereafter. — Tor so noble an object no sacrifice can be painful, as the honour of the Chilian nation is more dear than its existence. It is with pleasure I turn to contemplate the state 1 of complete harmony and maim' in which the nation at present reposes. The spirit of provincialistn, which has been so fatal in many parts of America, has hitherto made no inroads into our Republic. It has no proselytes in any part of it, nor has it dis turbed the tranquillity of the most remote diktricts. A wide field is open to your exertions. If you follow the example of past Congresses—if tempo rary or local interests divert your attention—if you take a partial glance, instead of a commanding and universal view of this Republic 7 -you will inevitably plunge it into an abyss of calamity. Bat if, in obe dience to . the dictates of an exalted patriotism, and to the lessons of past experience, you satisfy the wishes of the nation, by presenting it an enlightened Constitution,--you will draw upon you the blessings of the people, who will place among the fortunate events of their history this auspicious Union of the Conitituent Congress. FRANCISCO ANTONIO PINTO. • • Santiago de Chile, Feb. £5, 1828. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. LISBON, JUNE 16.--. The packet not sailing until this evening, I. have an opportunity of informing you of the news of this meriting. - The John VI. is off the bar, and has been for bidden to enter the Tagus by the English brig of war. Site remains outside. The Galatea, British frigate has &rived this morning; neither has she nor the Medina, on Saturday, saluted the Castle of Belem, which is,. I believe, the etiquette. The Procris, brig of war, sailed this morning early for Oporto. The news from the army of Oporto is, that their delay was caused by waiting for orders from the Provisional Government, " but when we go down," say they, "we take care to go with force." On Thursday night last a 1 -arty of the soldiers who escaped from Peniche attacked tkc militia stationed at Alcobaca. This may have given rise to the re port of the expedition from Figueita to San Mar mite. On 'the 9th and 11th, there were skirmishes between the advance posts. On the night of the I 1 th the troops at Leiria were under arms and greatly agitated. A gentleman who has just arrived from Leiria , told me that, all -- their hopes were founded on Don Miguel's - going up the country: A bed for him was prepared at the Bi shOp's Palace in Leiria, and at the convent of Alco blea, but he will not go, for there are vessels prepar ing in the river. The P inceza Real, a Portuguese frigate, on board of Which Don Miguel has collected all the diamonds and valuable property of the Crown, is now bending her sails in the liver. All think Don Miguel will attempt to escape in her ; but this is a most unlucky moment, for there are three Eng lish frigates and two brigs, and a Portuguese man-of war, to oppose his passage. Report circulates that he is almost in despair. * * * * still at his * * work.— Although he must have known his intrigues cannot succeed, - he still corresponds, by his agents, with the old Queen—who boasts still that her party is acting under the intlnenee of the Duke of Wel lington. The conduct , of Don Miguel's agents and of the Apostolictx, to the British residents, is monstrous. — Mr. William Young, an English gentleman, married, and resident at Leiria, has, after fourteen years' living among the people there, been arrested, thrown for three days into a dark dungeon, re moved from thence to the gaol privy, where he was kept five days and nights—his life called for by the mob and the murderers, and this all because the Apostolics called him a heretic and a spy. The true reason is, his being an Englishman. He has been brought this morning to the Castle of Lisbon,where he is confined. His life, during his journey, was frequently in great danger. He owes his safety to the kindness of the serjeant, who, with six dragoons, were his guard. I have this moment been informed that I am to be arrested, too, very soon. Should you not re ceive letters, you must conclude Inc to be in a dun geon, for describing the state of this country truly to you. One satisfaction will be, that I shall not be kept there long. In the Gazette of this morning, which was pub lished at three o'clock, you will fired somestatements respecting the Students who had been accused of murdering the Professors near Condeixa. They are it is said, to be put into what is called the " Ca pella" to-marrow—after their sentmee—and five to be hanged on Friday next. In the other news Hot much reliance is to be placed. The. Lords of the Treasury have granted permission to warehouse foreign goods aeChepstow, and it will be officially announced as a bonded port in a few days. This place is a port by nature, and with a flow of tide higher than any other port in Europe.—Hereford Journal. We are most happy to learn there is a s trong probability that the Lords' Committee will report in favour of a duty on foreign wool. We have even heard that so convincing Was the case of the agriculturists, that only two Members of the Committee stood out against the propo sition.—Briyhton Gazette. Mr. TIERNEY was in the House of Commons last night, the first time that the Right Hon. Gentleman has been in the House for a long time. We looked very thin and weak, and evidently walked with diminished strength. He was most cordially bailed by his friends in different parts of the House. • • • CLARE ELECTION.--MAJOR AV - NAMARA DECtINF.S.-ENNIs.-On Sunday the display of public feeling in this town was unexampled. A most.tremen dam+ meeting, in numbers and in spirit, took place in the pariSh Chapel. After the last mass, the Clergyman an nounced that Mr. LA.WLY.SS was then present, who had a camn►nnication to make to the congregation. That Gentle man was then received with immense enthusiasm. lie stated his object in coming to Ennis, the nature of his com mission, and the promise of support from the Catholics as. sembled in the Corn Exchange. He addressed the assembly for about fifteen minutes, in an animated and eloquent manner, and proposed an adjournment until three o'clock, when ho expected O'GoastAti MAHON from Dublin. At that hour the people again assembled, and FRA NCI3 BLAKE Foci ER was moved to the Chair. Mr. Lawttss then entered into long and' able address, in which - he was frequently interrupted by enthusiastic Omer ing.' O'GORMAN MA HON's approach was then announced; he was chaired in by the townsmen ; he spoke a very able address, in which' his countrymen greatly cheered him. Then the Bev. Mr. MURrRY, of Corofin, came forward, and in a most powerful appedl—powerful in its reasoning and its uncompromising spirit—committed himself with the people ; he vindicated the character of the priesthood in an able manner. Mr. STEELE spoke with great effect. The meeting terminated at six o'clock. The hopes of 'limn' FITZGERALD were laid prostrate. Major W.NA MARA has declined standing; but to-morrow will produce a candidate, to which there will he no objection. Who_ ever is the popular candidate will succeed.--Frcenton's Journal. - - A weekly paper gives an a ccount of a l a t e accident, and promises to give f ur ther paiticulars in the next World. An Irish Pastor, when applied to by one 6f his flock for a shower of rain, said he should b e i ippy to oblige him, but he bad several previous application , fur dry weather ; and as it would be impossible fur him to .lischlige any of his congregation, be was under the necessity of de• clining to interfere. LONDON. THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 26, 1828. The Gazette de France of Monday gives it ridiculous report ghat the rebels of Oporto . have laid down their arms to Don MiGuEL. If this were so, they might ask themselves why they were taken ,up. The REIS EFFENDI''" letter, whether real or fictitious, asking the rattan of the English and French Ambassadors, will be found in another column. If it be not authentic, it is a good imitation. From a Fiench Paper, received this morning , we have the following characteristic speCimen of Don MIGUEL'S mercy. He is making sad pro vision for his entry into Spain—the shades or murdered patriots will give him a gory welcome - Would they could imitate the example of "Alen' the Brave :" - - - " We learn by an extraordinary conveyance, that Do n Miguel has sent to Spain the unfortunate refugees detained in the prisons of Portugal. These unfortunates have bee f ' put on based a vessel and sent to a port in Spain. Amore them are several deputies of the Cortes, and some distill' };niched officers and other persons who have been or" (teamed to suffer death in Spain, who had taken refuge in Portugal. It was reported that Don Miguel was to, march against the Constitutionalists. No doubt he wil l leave Lisbon with a view to retire to Elvas, to be ele af Spain, and the Queen is to follow him secretly. There has been a division amongst the Spabiris Ministry in regard to the affairs of Portugal. i ' Calotnarde wished that the Portuguese refugees &bald 1* sent out of Spain, but the other Ministers would not con' tent, fearing that it would give offence to England. " MAnnin, it:we 12.—0 n the 7th. arrivesl bere 3 courier, with despatches from Don Miguel, demanding immediate assistance. They were laid before the Count't of State, who decided that Spain should not interfere in the affairs of Portugal until they, were informed e f the disposition of the other European Powers. The Governor of Badajos has received orders to let pass into the Swish territory all emigrants from Portugal. We are mord that the English Ambassador has made energetic re monstrances on this subject to the Spanish Cabinet. It letter from Florence, of the Sth of June, states that th j . e ' Pope has refitted to Austria the occupation of Ancona a"' other fortified places." The .Allgcmcine Zeitung of the 19th in st' s tates that when HALIL BEY left Constantinople for the army the SULTAN accompanied hie' part of the way, and cheered him with the folio,w' ing words at parting :—" Depend on me; llt case of need I shall follow you." For the re' sent it was resolved that the SULTAN Should re main in the capital, having 25,090 discipho'aeod troops to defend it. There were about 72, men only on the Danube, including . the Garr i 7 sons of the Fortresses—a number wholly_ inca pable of making any efficient resistance to the overwhelming forces of Russia. Indeed the chief men of Constantinople seem to be as appre gortehaeilfl'atceonosl. the ueii c an" paign. It is again reported that Alexandria is blockaded, and that IBitA Him PACHA feels .de e o of s q e :t e t r i quitting s the e(' t Min . qec of sirous the strict blockade enforced by the Allies • k y 3 I - CONSTA NTINOII.I4 S-- • No change h as t a k en plat's? in .

According to a statement which is circulate d here, the Turkish army on the Danube, including the garrisons "f the fortresses on that river, amounts to '72,000 rae , ' When Hata Bey, having received rich• presents from th e Sultan, left the city, the latter accompanied him part_ the way, and at parting said to him, " Depend os IttO s in case of need I shall follow you." It is resolved th i s for the present the Sultan is to remain here with 0°,1.1% .25,000 disciplined troops, to protect the capital. '.!: imay he considered as very fortnnate for the Franks, Is "- presence will greatly contribute to their security.
