It approaches, in its ceueral form, to the British Constitution, and, provided any probability existed of its being brought into operation, it might he denominated a good thinsc; under present circumstances, it is neither more nor less than a good hoax., We should be justly charged with trifling, were we to attempt a comment upon it, to descant upon its excellenties, or to point out its defects. — After it has served its turn by affording a grand show, its destiny will be that of thy_- numerous branches of. the same ephemeral family of constitutions which have successively been produced, and have died in France, scarcely the wonder of a day. Its fate, like theirs, is to be cased up and buried in the archives of the great empire, " the,family malt of all Me Contacts." "To make a liberal Constitution of any value, it muct be executed. Rights on paper neither 'relieve the oppressed nor punish the. oppressor. Two things are necessary to bring the theory into the less elevated, but more important condition of practice and application—public virtue in the people, and a power to enforce their conceded privileges.— The Trial by Jury, for instance, is an important provision of domestic law; but if there he not morality sufficient to give to'an oath a binding obligation, or if Jurors be overawed by a mob or a military force, even the Trial by Jury will fail of accomplishing the ends of pure and impartial justice. A Re presentative Government bad existed even under BuoxaranTr. ; but whilst its Members were obliged tamely to'bear his in sults, whilst they trembled at the furious passions of a Tyrant surrounded with guards, and surrounding them . , with the , bayonets of his armies, what was the measure of public li berty enjoyed by France? Whether a sufficient degree of pub lic virtue exist in France to enable the people to and to make them feel an interest in the conservation of a free Con= stitution, is a question on which we will not enter. It is, at least, a doubtful one : of this, however, there can he no rea sonable doubt, that, whatever virtue may exist in the public mind, whatever sense of political right or wrong, or how ever weak or strong the, feelings may be, which are ex- cited by either, they have no power to assert-them. France is governed by an army alien to the people, and connected solely with the fortunes and plans of its chief. Its interest is not in the domestic liberty of France; hot in the overthrow of the independence, and in the plunder of other Nations. It moves, tbecfore, at the will of its head, and profits by the severity of his tyranny at home and the execution of his am bitious plans abroad. With such an army it is not only easy but safe to grant a free Constitution : the chain is still in his hands, and he can lengthen or shorten it at pleasure. • If the impulse he readily obeyed, so much the better for those who dream that the lengthening of their chain is a restoration to liberty; for resistance would most assuredly he followed by the application of a severer caercion ." , - It appears from articie in die.

We trust., however,, that the wisdom of Ministers will restrain their liberality, and not suffer any of the relations of the: Usurper, or any of his insidious and dangerous connexions, to pol lute the British soil.

This singular an d i nterest in g cause came On upon the argument of a denourer, filed by the defendant against the plaintiff's bill,•which sought relief and discovery, together with the possession of the tlefendant's, for the life•of.the wife, in fa vour Of the plaintiff, as reversioner or remainder man, by virtue of the testator's will, whichcre ated a total forfeit twc . of such estate in the event. of the intermarriage that toolc..place between the det'cudants in violation of such interdiction. Mr. liEstitsoN, - as - Counsel for "the defendeits, with much force and legal learning, argtied in support- of the demurrer, on the grcinnds of the principles of the Canon and Civil Laws, as Nv.eil - as the sound policy anti public morality of the .

SMUGGLING EloAx.—Within the course of this. last fortnight, a number of the inhabitants of North Shields have been completely taken in by a man vending what he termed smuggled gin, in casks at 121. 6d. per gaHon. In order that his customers might be convinced of its superior qua lity; he spiled each cask, which on 'tasting was found excellent; and the lovers of the reviving cordial deemed themselves fortunate in being able at so cheap a rate to gratify themselves in drain - drinking. But, alas ! on drawing it otr,' what must their sorrow and disappoint ment have been, when, instead of 'neat :1101- lands, they found .salt water, with the excep tion of a holit halt a pint of gin contained in a tin tithe, which IViiS artfully fixed to the end of the vessel, where the importer took care to make his 'spite holes. It is believed, he has, by this decep 'tion, carried away between 2 and 3001. in cash I ! (Durham County. Adc6rtizer, April 28):.

On Sattaday - mortiing as some - workmen were pulling down a house in Lower Broad-street, Ply mouth, they discovered the remains of the corpse o f an infant, in a completely decayed state, se creted, between the floor and ceiling of the first and second stories; There is every reason to suppose, thtst it must have been destroyed by its inhuman parent, and placed in this situation for the ptirpose of concealment. It must have beast deposited a consider ahie time since, as all that remained of it were skull and principal bones ; hut from the size of these, and from the eiretun;tance of its having bad a shirt on, it is believed to have been a tiring birth.'

By the Geoige Canning, from the River Plate, letters and papers have reached town from Buenos Ayres to the middle of February. The•Bitemos Ayres Government, it would seem, had taken the alarm, on learning that the expedition from Cadiz was on its way thither, and IA proclamation was issued in consequence, setting forth the real .state of the country, its means of defence, gcc. and calling upon the people for their utmost exertions in support of their threatened liberty and lode.- pendence. Every encouragement with respect to -commerce is : held • out, to the British to secure their neutrality. The private letters speak with confidence of their- successful resistance, pro vided the British do not espouse - the opposite cause.
