FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Moniteur of Monday, Jan. 21.) " TRIESTE, JAN. s.—The Osscrvatore Triestino of this date contains the following article : The imperial corvette Caroline, commanded by Major I3ondiera, arrived in our port on the 30th of December. It left Smyrna on the 19th of December, and the Mosconissi Islands, in the Gulf of Adramitty, on the 12th of December. From this port it escorted 62 merchantmen of different nations, chiefly Austrian. Of 26 vessels which were bound for this port, only ten have arrived ; the sixteen others, under the convoy of the Austrian brig Ussaro, having been detained by contrary winds and by calms near Corfu, have arrived on the coast of Dalmatia. These vessels have brought melancholy accounts of the losses which the merchants and insurance companies have suffered, adding that the Austrian brigantine, the Smyrna Packet, Captain Carlo Sanzin, which sailed from this port on the f.34th of September, with a rich cargo from Mar seilles, was captured by a Greek pirate off Cape Passero, in Sicily, and carried into Carabusa, where its cargo and part of its tackling were taken out. It arrived in this condition at Milo, where there were 30 merchantmen of different nations, which had taken refuge in that port, after having been all of them plundered in the same manner. The brigan tine Leon Princess of Metternich, Captain Cyriac isstolphi, bound from Odessa to this port, was taken by A pirate, and carried into Santo Georgio di Shera, where all the corn which made part of its cargo wss taken out. The same fate was reserved for the Austrian brigantine Gustavus Adolphus, Cap tain Tarabuchia, and the Austrian corvette Lucretia, Captain Salam, bound from Constantinople to Smyrna, with rich cargoes. " The Austrian brig Si/orzio, Captain Scopinich, with a rich cargo from Tunis to Smyrna, was at 'acked and plundered by pirates on the voyage."

A storm arising, drove the schooner towards the Isle of Astropaglia, where it Anchored. There it was suddenly attacked by two piratical mistics, the crews of which began to mur -ler the Frenchmen, when the French Officer killed one of the pirates with his own hand, let fire to the powder magazine, and thus blew up all the pirates ; .62 Greeks perished by this explosion. " The English brigantine the St. Francis, Capt. Podich, arrived here from Syria and Patmos; it had taken its cargo at Sur, and was, with other vessels which were going to Alexandria, under convoy of two Egyptian brigs of war. On the way, they met with two Spezziot brigs, which endeavoured to cap ture some of the vessels. While th, pates and the two brigs were engaged, the former succeeded in taking the English brigantine„ which they car .ried into Patmos, where they stripped it entirely." " DEC. 11.—I told you in my letter of the 15th of November, that news had been received from Egina, that an English brig of war had demanded and obtained indemnities for several vessels of its nation. To obtain this satisfaction from the Greek Government the island was blockaded for several (lays, and a French corvette and schooner have em ployed this means to obtain an indemnity to the amount of 60,000 crown, at which they valued the goods taken by Greek pirates from two French - vessels coming from Cyprus."—Austrian Observer. The official part of the Moniteur contains a Royal ordinance determining the functions of the Minister for the Affairs of Commerce and Manufactures, ap , . pointed by an ordinance of the 4th of January. The Gazette de France, dated the 22d of Jan., was not published, on account of the ünitersary of the death of Louis XVI. MADRID, JAN. 10.---The Intendancy of Havannah not having been able to complete the payment of the fifty millions of reals which it had been taxed, and of which only fifteen millions are arrived at Cadiz by the frigate La Perle, has charged its envoy, Joachim de Arrietta, to raise the deficiency of a loan. His Majesty was so anxious to possess himself of this tribute of his transmarine subjects, that a des patch was immediately issued by his order, autho rising M. de Arrietta to make this loan, and gua ranteeing the security offered by the Intendancy of lizwannah. Notwithstanding this, however, and the o ffer of M. de Arrietta to mortgage the revenues of th e ilavannah as a security, he has not been able to obtain a single proposal from any of the houses at Madrid to tic rich he opened his proposition, and he finds the objecti ' ‘ ons still greater amongst foreign houses to which he is ..?Dplying. Such is the distrust inspired by the state of Spanish commerce, and by any measures emanating frOm its Government. It is said that the Ministry lia;'e resolved on send ing back to his post the Spanish Consul at Tunis, who had come over respecting some claims of in demnity made by Tunis for the capture of one of its vessels in May last. This measure is said to be necessary, as the war which is kindling in the East between the Porte and the three Allied Powers will have the effect of removing the Consuls of those Powers from Africa. It is said that tirmans have been received by the several Regencies from the Porte, respecting their future conduct towards the three Allied Powers, and calling for assistance from all true believers in Islamism in the empire, when the standard of the Prophet is unfurled. It is added, that the Algerines have already begun to make incursions on some parts of the Spanish coast, and that some Colombian vessels, of which the crews are habited as Arabs, and bearing the Al gerine flag, are cruising in the Mediterranean. Accounts from Barcelona of the 11th of January are full of complaints of the inquisitorial severities ex ercised by Count d'Espagne, whose conduct seems to excite general discontent. Many of these rigours are carried into execution under the eye of the King himself, and with his full concurrence. The contrast between the mild and humane deportment of the late Captain-General the Marquis Campo-Sagrado, and the despotism of his successor, tends to heighten the disaffection caused by the latter. We are assured that the evacuation of Figueras has been a greed upon between the two Govern ments. It will take place i n April. Negotiations are going on for giving up at the same time all the forts and strong p l a ces at present occupied by the French. AMERICAN PAPERs. LATEs? FROM MEXICo. We have before us Vera Cruz Papers t o t h e 4 t h 4-)f December, brought by the Eliza, which arrived here yesterday, after a short pas,s,age. The Spaniards, it now appears, can hardly expect to be longer tolerated in Mexico. Several of the legi s latures of the States have recently passed. reso lutions f o r their expulsion, —.._some d e manding the banishment of them all, others of the unmarried, and those who have not long lived in the country, A tOaxaca, Valladolid, Michoacan, t he de mands are the same. At Vera Cruz, on the Ist of D ece mber, there was a popular commotion excited ;against the Spaniards, but without any acts of vio lence or impropriety. The whole town appears to have been for a time in cenfusion. The municipality assembled, and passed un act fully accordant with the public voice, after which the inhabitants retired peaceably to their houses. In Acapulco and part of Valladolid, disturbances are spoken of; but a letter from Tlalpatn, of Nov. 20, says the whole southern coast is perfectly quiet. Commodore Porter advertises that he has on hand several licences for those who may with to arm private vessels against the Spaniards. He also gives a public notice, dated on board the frigate .Libertad, November Hi, that in conformity 444 , 407 l i k P - , 41 / 4 . 1 7,..A.M7r4 WU. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 24, 1828. The first Cabinet Council of the new Admi nistration met this day, at two o'clock, at the Foreign Office. We understand that Mr. W. PEEL SUC- C6,PdS Mr. SPRING RICE as Under Seeretary of State for the Home Department. Mr. SAMUEL MARCH PHILLIPPS continues as Under Secretary at the Home Office. We also understand that Mr. PLANTA re mains as one of the Secretaries to the Treasury, and it is said that Mr. DAWSON succeeds Mr. FRANKLAND LEWIS as the other Secretary to the Treasury. Mr. FRANKLAND LEWIS, it is believed, will fill some other office. It is said that the Hon. C. C. C. JENKINSON will move, and Mr. ROBERT GRANT second the Address in the House of Commons. Whilst real consistency is essential to the cha racter of an honourable man, there is no rock on which Statesmen have more frequently split than what is usually termed political consistency. Engendered by ignorance, and nursed by self conceit, it exhibits itself in the career of the individual who, having asserted some opinion, or taken part in some debate at the commencement of his public life, devotes the rest of his days to the defence of his error. He may have spoken rashly on the inspiration of the moment, and under the influence of that hospitality which dis tinguishes the tables of M. ANGELO TAYLOR and many of our Parliamentary leaders, but he has too much pride, or too little honesty ever to retract what he has once said, and he exerts all the ingenuity which he may pos sess, in acquiring and maintaining a character for consistency. It; however, he is not success ful in his endeavours to shut his eyes to the truth, he is afraid of the sneers which will attend his avowal of it. But the spirit of a higher. order, the " mens conscia recta," scorns such a course. Such was Mr. BURKE, who forfeited the friendship, and encountered the taunts and the suspicions of his dearest friends, when urged by the imperious sense of duty to take an opposite line. He perilled his character for consistency, by quitting his party ; but history has enrolled him as the iaviour of his country, and he must have deeply imbibed the spirit of party who can read, and not be convinced by, his masterly and unanswerable defence. We off'er these remarks at a period when it is out of the power of any public man to maintain even the spurious consistency to which we have alluded. Act as he will, he must vote with and against men who have stood towards him in the very opposite relations. Lord GREY, the ire plus ultra of consistency, has voted with Lord ELDON, and Lord LANs- DOWNE has sat in the same Cabinet with Lord LYNDHURST. Would it not be better, therefore, for our Statesmen to consider questions without reference to this phantom—consistency, and to apply the full vigour of their intellect to their country' s welfare, unawed by the impending strictures of orators and scribblers, from which no line of conduct can by possibility save them ? The French Papers last received possess no political interest. Discussion, and only dis cussion, occupies their columns ; they are en tirely destitute of facts, if we except further ac counts of the distressing piracies in the Me diterranean by the refractory Greeks, whose predatory career can only be stopped by force. The credit of FERDINAND has been put to a severe test at Madrid,—not one merchant having the courage to trust his MAJESTY a single dollar, even though payment were guaranteed by mortgaging the revenues of the Havannah.— This may serve to teach FERDINAND more cor rect notions of the value of a good character-- Honesty is above all price. The Gazette de France was not published on Tuesday, it being the anniversary of the death of Lours XVI. The evacuation of Figueras, and indeed of all Spain, is spoken of at Madrid with confi dence. The French are oit the eve of quitting the strong holds, for which purpose negociations are said to be now in progress. Papers have been received from various parts of America up to the 2d of January, extracts from which will be found in another column. The Mexicans appear to be acting with great, and, we think, impolitic severity towards the native Spaniards, whose expulsion from the country is considered the only guarantee of pub lic safety. No doubt the Spaniards must entertain many predilections in favour of die mother country, but the Mexicans ought not to visit that natural feeling with expatriation, un less proofs are adduced that the machinations of the Spaniards are dangerous to the independ ence of their country. Conciliation will soothe the Spaniards, and be conducive to the strength as well as the resources of Mexico. In endea vouring to be free they should learn to act with liberality. We received, this morning, the Nuremburg Correspondent of the 15th inst., which contains the following, respecting the Central Committees, which had been a long time deliberating re specting the improved Navigation ofthe Rhine:— MAYENCE, JAN. 10. The two central Committees, which have been sitting for several years in this city, for the regulation of the na vigation of the Rhine, and for the investigation of revolu tionary intrigues, are said to have nearly concluded their labours. Both Commissioners have, however, long since been incomplete, for instance, the Prussian Ambassador has not for some years taken any part in the deliberations respecting the navigation of the Rhine ; but now that Holland and Prussia have concluded a separate convention respecting the disputed points of the liberty of the navi gation of the Rhine, it is asserted, on good authority, that the Prussian Chief President, Delius, will return from Co logne to Mayence, to bring about the final arrangement of the regulations for the navigation. In the Committee of Inquiry, instead of seven members only three are now here, viz. M. Von Wagemann from Austria, M. Von Pfister from Baden, and M. Von Houmann from Bavaria. The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 17th inst., contains an article from St. Petersburgh, of the 12th November, respecting the determination of the Emperor NicitoLAs to enforce the provisions of the Treaty of London, with out entertaining any views of aggrandizement by conquest, or of any exclusive advantage ; but we have a knowledge of this determination some days ago, from Vienna, and of a much later date. Mr. STRATFORD CANNING is again said to have arrived at Corfu. The following are ex tracts : TRIESTE, JAN. 9. By a ship which has arrived in 25 days from Petra', we learn that the Greek steam-boat, when it left Lepanto some time ago with three captured Austrian ships, sunk opposite to that fortress, the Austrian schooner of Captain Halabotich, so that the crew could hardly save themselves. It is confirmed that the Greeks, under General Church, had landed with 2000 men at Dragomestre, and made use for that purpose of the captured Austrian ship., pro tected by the steam-beat and two small armed vessels. — Ibrahim Paella was still between Patras and TripOliZZ3. The Captain of a ship, arrived in 17 days from Smyrna, reports that tke city was perfectly tranquil ; yet several Europeans were preparing to leave it. The English and French Ambassadors had arrived from Constantinople at Vourla, and were saluted by the Admiral of the allied squadrons. There was no news from Scio. By a ship which has arrived here, intfive days from Corfu, we learn that Mr. Stratford Canning bad arrived there from Vourla. Letters from Odessa, of 25th December, (N.S.) report, that Russian ships of war continued to arrive in that port. Several floating batteries, or armed pontoons, had been sent to the Danube, towed by steam boats. Thirteen ships of war had arrived from Sebastopol at one time. - - FROM TILE FRONTIERS OF POLAND, nxcENIRER . The following is the circular note of Count Nesselrode, respecting the relations with the Porte. W e s ee from it the serious resolution of the Emperor Nicholas to maintain the convention of London, and to consider it as the basis of negociation. ST. PETERSBURGR, NOV. 12. At the moment when the decisive battle which the Allied squadrons were obliged to fight with the Turkish and Egyptian fleet in the bay of Navarin excites general attention, j consider it as proper to acquaint you, Sir? of the point of view in which the Imperial Cabinet considers that remarkable event. Undoubtedly it would have been our first wish to see the treaty of London carried into effect without bloodshed, and on this account we lament our victory ; but on the other hand, the Emperor has imme diately perceived that, in the alternative of seeing the main object of that Convention disappointed by the annihilation of the Greeks on the Continent, and the attack with which Ibrahim Paella threatened the islands of the Archipelago, after the faithlessness of the latter had been proved by two violations, on the 13th and 21st of September, of the armistice solemnly concluded with him, the Admirals who had entered the Bay of Navarin with the most pacific intentions, but were there attacked, had merely fulfilled the instructions given them in accepting the combat, and that they have successfully served the common cause. The battle of Navarin places in a clear light the alliance and the policy of the Powers who signed the Treaty of London ; it gives reason to hope that the Porte, being at length made sensible of its error, will hasten to accept the terms which certainly call for some sacrifices; but, at the same time, se cure to it valuable compensation. The resolutions of the Sultan must now decide on those which our August Mo narch will take at all events, whether the Porte may de termine upon a conduct conformable to our wishes, or whether it may add to the disadvantages of its situation by hostile measures. His Majesty the Emperor is firmly re solved, in the most strict concert with England and France, to proceed in the execution of the treaty of the 6th of July, to effect with them the beneficent stipulations of that treaty, and, in every state of affairs, to observe the generous principle which forbids the Contracting Powers to form any views of aggrandisement by conquest, or of any exclusive advantage. (Signed) " NESSELRODE." After the receipt of the news of the breaking off of the negociations at Constantinople, Count Nesselrode wrote a second circular note, which, in all essential particulars, is only a repetition of the above. VIENNA, JAN. 12. Metalligne9, 89i ; Bank Shares, 1,030. By the arrival of his MAJESTY'S Packet Cygnet, which left Bermuda on the 18th of December, and Halifax the 6th of January, Halifax Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, to the sth instant inclusive. They contain little that is interesting, and appear almost exclusively de voted to giving full details of the battle of Nayarit]. On the 4th in the morning, a dreadful fire had taken place, commencing in a house inhabited by Mrs. MILLER, Duke-street, which in a very short time communicated to several others, and it was expected at one time li the lower side of Dalhousie College would be destroyed. The damage done is, the houses of Mrs. MILLER, Mr. GEO. JOST, and Mr. E. PEILZSII, consumed, and the house of Mr. G. ANDERSON, in the lower street, pulled down, partly burnt. His Excellency Sir JAS. KENIPT, and his Aid-de-camps, with many Officers, bOth naval and military, were present, and very active on the occasion. The house oc cupied by Capt. M'QUEEN, of the 74th, late Mr. MI NN's, was saved by the enthusiasm of the soldiers of his regiment, who seemed determined to perish or save it. By this conveyance, Papers from St. Jelin's, New Brunswick, of the 29th ult., have come to hand. They contain information of St. An drew's being established as a free warehousing port, by which the interests and business of that town will be much enhanced. His Excellency the Governor had been ill, but was recovering from the attack. Lady DOUG LAS had also been much indisposed for a few days ; the family had all suffered partially, but were recovering. The Royal Gazette of the 11th contains a Proclamation from the Gover nor for proroguing the General Assembly of the Province until the second Tuesday in January. From Frederictown we learn that an agent of the General Government of the United States had arrived at our head-quarters, clothed with proper authority to make inquiries regarding the Madawaska affair. He has brought letters from Mr. VAUGHAN, the British Minister at Wash ington, to the Lieutenant-Governor, and has of course been recognized in an official capacity by our public authorities ; it must be, therefore, this gentleman's mission which the President in his Message refers to, and not that of Mr. DA VIES. It is stated that he holds no official communication with the agent sent on the same business by the State of Maine. Accounts from Guatemala, dated San Salva dor, the sth November, furnish intelligence of the overthrow of a band of 400 revolutionists, in Sabuna Grande, who were on their way to in vade the territory of Honduras. The American Papers state that LA BORDE'S squadron, consisting of one ship of the line, four frigates, and several small vessels, was about to sail from the Havannah, having on board 3,500 troops, 100 officers for the army, as well as 800,000 dollars in specie. It is supposed they meditate an attack on Carthagena. The accounts from the City of Mexico are of the 28th November, and 4th of December, from Vera Cruz. The eonducta, which had arrived at the latter city, with specie amounting to 1,600,000 dollars, was stated wholly to be on the merchants' account. On its journey, an attack was attempted to be made by a band of robbers in the mountains, consisting of 150 men, but the escort composed of a strong detachment of the Militia of Puebla, conducted their charge in safety, and the specie arrived without any further impediment. The Pylades had just returned from Tampico, after hav ing taken in 300,000 dollars at that place. Trade was dull, and confidence nearly destroyed. The Stentor transport, bound for Ceylon , , having on b oar d detachments of the Royal Artille r y a nd Ceylon Regim en t s , w i t h Ma j or BIRCIIAM and Lieutenants PowELL and BLAND of the latter cors, Wa s compelled, by the severity o f th e l ate gales, to put into Plymouth on the evening of the 20th inst., after having been 14 days vainly endeavouring to pursue her voyage. She will set sail again with the first fair wind. A Detachment from the Depot of the 72d Regiment, or the Duke of Albany's own Highlanderc, marched from Armagh to Newry on the 18th inst., and embarked on board the Lord Blaney steam-packet, for Liverpool, on the 1 9th, on route to join their Corps, now stationed in the Tower of London. The Town of Manchester has presented to Lieutenant -Colonel Eckerley, late Major of Brigade a t that station, a Sword and a Snuff-box, of the value of two hundred guineas, upon his removal thence to the West STITIVING INTELLIGENCE-(TlitS DAY.

(FURTHER PARTICULARS.) On Wednesday the 16th instant, Mr. MAC DoNELL of Glengarry, left Fort-William (in Inverness-shire) for Edinburgh, accompa- nied by his two eldest daughters. They were passengers by the Stirling steam-boat. The day was remarkably boisterous, and the Stirling had not proceeded above six miles in its course from Fort-William, when the gale increased to a hurricane, and the engine refused to work.— The steam-packet was soon drifted ashore, on a rocky beach, opposite to Inverscadale. GLEN GARRY then leaped from the steam-packet, upon a projecting rock, and in the fall hie head struck with great violence against the rock. Notwith standing he was stunned by the severity of the concussion, GLENGARRY swam ashore from the rock. The Misses MAC DONELL and the other passengers were with difficulty saved, excepting a domestic servant of Mr. MACDONALD of Clanranald, who was unfortu- nately drowned. GLENGA RRY, on reaching the shore, complained of pain, but walked with his daughters to Inverscadale-house, a mile distant from the shore. He undressed himself and went to bed, but no serious apprehensions were then entertained. How ever it soon appeared that he had been dreadfully injured. After enduring with forti tude the utmost extremity of pain, he expired at Inverscadale, on Thursday the 17th inst., at six o'clock in the evening. His distressing fate has excited very general interest.----GLENGARRY was an enthusiastic Highlander, and valued im measurably the honours of Chieftainship , ap pertaining to his house. This predominant feeling displayed itself so as to conceal from public observation much of the kindness of heart which will be long remembered by the High landers, whom he so zealously encouraged in maintaining the athletic habits of their ancestors. The young Chief of Glengarry is 19 years of age, and is a very promising intelligent young man. The Stirling was reduced to a wreck and is sunk. - - Yesterday, a Court of Directors was held at tho East India House, when the following Commanders took leave of the Court, previous to d ep artin g for th eir respective destinations, viz. :—Capta in Joins SMALL H.

The COURT granted a rule to show cause, but / quently the Court being informed that the defends° already received the regular notice, the rule was mad e lute, and Mr. Cro c kf or d' a recognizances were 01 ' ., The bail were then called, an,' failing to appear , tilt cognizsnces were entr ea t e d f ort h w i th ; and an order to issue fresh process to increase the recognizances. PERJURY. THE RING V. JEZIERIAH MATHYA. The defendant in this case was tried and conei':, wilful and corrupt perjury, at the Sittings after Mich j , Term. The charge against the defendant was, we Charles Robert Knowles, having been arrested :6 suit of Holmes a n d Stubb s f or ISO?. t h e defendo) peered in the bail court to justify as bail for }CPI and being questioned as to the extent and nature) property, stated that he had an acre of land belov! house, which he held on lease, nine years of whicl i d yet unexpired. He also stated that he had expended!) in erecting stables and a coach-house on this g roup , also that he p ossesse d h ousehold furniture to the Ot 500/. Persons being se n t t o exam i ne the defendad,ll dance, his statement was di scovered to be entirely fo' unfounded. Mr. HuTcntxso N h av i ng move d for thejudgmeuti Court on the defendant, Lord TENTIRDEN read his notes of the trial, in the facts above stated were recapitulated. The defendant then put in a written statement il! ;a , .. j gation. He denied that he had sworn to all the st . ti l stances alleged in the indictment. He ad m itt e d, h. ;,.± • 4 . that he had sworn falsely that he held an acre o f 0 6 ; l 44* lease; but added, that he did not consider it w as any , 1 as his landlord promised him a lease. ag i ' Mr. HUTCHIN S ON addressed their Lordsh ips in 1. '' tiou, and contended that, as the defendant made i i r oji t gular busine ss t o act as a h i red bail, and as tine coal of the crime of which h e was convicted had lately extremely frequent, th e case was one which calle d liarly for the infliction of a severe punishment. , Mr. Justice BAYLICY then proceeded t o p ass the 006 of the Court, and observed that the manner in wiii i i defendant conducted himself, and th e s t atement b e h in,—a statement so contrary to the facts of the e.r) were not at all calculated to excite a favourable imp on the mind of the Court. The defendant had 9w° l he had an acre of ground which he held on lease ; ,'. thus swearing, by hi s a d m i ss i on , comm i tted a wilfu l p l The sentence of the Court th ere f ore was, t h at he shey confined in Newgate for one month, and from thence ; ported to one of his Majesty's co l on i es f or t h e pe rt seven years. , with the laws, every vessel on board of which enemy's property is found, will be taken to Vera Cruz for adjudication. The same course will be pursued with every vessel containing contraband of war—mortars, cannon, muskets, pistols, or other tire-arms ; swords, bayonets, gunpowder, &c., also ship-timber, cordage, and all articles used in equip ping ships of war, arming and clothing troops, &c., and in general all things used in war, by land or sea. The Supreme Congress have agreed, in both Chambers, to authorise contracting for a loan of four millions. The treaty between the United States of Mexico and the King of Great Britain, signed and sealed in London last year by the Plenipotentiaries, was published by authority on the 21st of November. PERIL—By the way of Charleston, we learn, that General Lamar has reached Lima, been formally in stalled as President of the Republic, and greeted with the greatest demonstration of public joy. There was, according to our previous accounts, a strong exertion made in the Congress to prevent his ad mission to to the Supreme .Magistracy, but his op posers were unsuccessful ; and after all the difficul ties and dissensions which have beset that Govern ment, we now flatter ourselves we shal! see it well established, well administered, and the source of peace, prosperity, and happiness. The resolution which produced the present state of things in Peru will be regarded as an event of the highest interest to that republic, and affording the best encomium on the character and feelings of the people. The Bolivian system had been adopted, after the example of a neighbouring Fate, and under the influence of Bolivar ; but these considerations were not powerful enough to secure its supremacy. P ereeiving the tendency of the new Constitution, the people rejected it, and declared for their former principles. They have been restored, arid now that we have learned the feelings of the Peruvians, we confidently believe they will never yield their rights and liberties. NEW GOVERNOR FOR CANADA.—If we may rely on the authority of letters received in Boston from Halifax, the Governor-General of Canada, the Earl of Dalhousie, has been appointed to the command of the British forces in India, and is to be succeeded by the Duke of Gordon. We might expect some change to be made at this juncture, in the manage ment of Canadian affairs ; for the course thus pur ued by Lord Dalhousie has been calculated to alienate the affections of many. of the inhabitants from Great Brtain, and at the same time to cool the zeal for the mother country in those great projects for their advantage which she is now earnestly car rying on. If the news should prove true, we shall confidently expect to see some conciliatory measures adopted by the new Governor. A very large meeting has been held in Montreal, by persons opposed to the administration of Lord Dalhousie ; and several charges against him were read in French and English, and left open for sig natures. They are to be presented to the King, for his removal. GREEK PIRACIES.—We learn that the losses re cently sustained by the insurance offices of Boston, in consequence of recent Greek piracies, amount to nearly 100,000 dollars.—Boston Sent."

Th e l an d lord ' s daughter, a girl of IS 11 the servant girl, two lodgers (young men), and th e ' boy, met their death. One young man, a cork -c jumped out of the second-floor window, and was talt ie l in a lifeless state ; he was taken to the Hospital, reported to have since died. The landlord's daughtel observed to have reached the bar, but she fell, guM by the smoke. The bodies of four out of the five tunate individuals have been dug out of the ruins, Il l ,' them dreadfully burned. The landlord, w hy nsor i i CAvE r and the rest of the inmates, escaped with the 0 1 difficulty.
