C' DAILY -111 E LONDON JOUR:NA-LS:- Extracts from the illurningPapers, Nov. 27.. [NEW 'rrStES.] A Sunday Paper has thoug4 fit to libel his Majesty's Hanoverian Government, by charging having illegally arrested' and kept in con finement a person nnmed Palm ; :and, to render this individual more interesting,' he is described as a relation of 'Palm the bookseller, who' was shot by order of Buonaparte. We have made 'igor'ne inquiries into this case : and we find, in the first'place,'that this Palm is no relation at all to the unfortunate victim of Corsican tyranny. As tti the' particalar illegality meant to be imputed to the act of the HanoVerian Government, it is nut clearly 'expressed ; but the insinuation seems to he, that the arrest. was made out of the Hano verian territory.. Now we are assured that there is no ground Whatever for any such assertion. Palm was, a native of Hanover, who during the war not only bore arms against his Sove reign, hut was employed in certain secret ser vices by nnonaparte. After' the liberation of Hanover, Palm still attached himself . to the French Army. In 1814 this man, being a Hano verian subject, was arrested at Stande in the Ha noverian territory, charged with treasonable practices against the Hanoverian Government ; and although' his Wake undoubtedly merited the P . everest punishment, yet his sentence was com muted to that of imprisonment for life. His Ma jesty, hoWever, Was last year graciously pleased to grant him his liberty ; and as we understand that the man is gaining his livelihood at. present by a course of honest industry, we should have been unwilling to commemorate his former mis cooduct,lead it not been rendered necessary by the libellous attack of the writer in the Sunday Paper. [THE TIMES.] We have said that the religions controversies in Ireland ought not to have been discouraged, had Government even• possessed the right to prohibit them. We think the same of the Catholic Rent and Association. If it be desirable that the priests should expose to, public cognizance those maxims which,constitute•the craft and mystery of their power ever the human mind, it Is even more sO thit the. Catholic, laity should be suffered to develop their principles and pretensions. They seek 11:cles,e partnership with the Protestant community in all their worldly interests and concerns, while the Hierarchy stands as far aloof as the Rabbi, the Mufti, or the Brahmin. The professed objects of the gent and Associa tion have not at any time outrun the fair pri vilege of British subjects in the pursuit of great public -ends. The spirit and practice 'of both institutions may hare widely deviated from their ostensible purposes ; hot of that a word here , after. It is neither extravagant nor reprehen. Bible in any party under a free constitution' to concentrate, exhibit, and apply its resources for the attainment, through. lawful means, of the. 'highest 'political. advantage. If the einholics of- 1893 be, from ailluence, experience, intelligence,, disregard of superstition, love of public liberty; public spirit, and 'whatever constitutes a Moral . excellence among men, more fitted for the cob duet of national affair& than their ancestors of 1750, there exists no reason, and happily no law, to prevent them from bringing forward all those dahlia. -to power, whiCh such an assernblage'ef honourable qualities can conferupon subjects of this realm. So far as discussion may elucidate their' rights, or' the collection 'of even large sums of money be rendered available' for certain technical charges incurred by prosecutions OP defences on behalf of men whomuty be exposed' to factious violence, and whir ere unable to re• dress their own Wrongs, or to .Shield their own innocence when questioned, we see not how the 'Association or the gent (-melte reprobated, when Lorna fide so employed, in the' cause of justice or of manly arnbilitio."Lt is otherwise when one or both of these engines are worked for mis chievous or foolish purpose. We speak of the possible perversion of instruments neither illegal nor censurable in their origin—as being on the present .occasion less dangerous than foolish : 1 st, because_ on a sober estimate of the whole force and genius of this Catholic ma chinery, we see no one cause 'of 'serious dread ; nod, because, with such a con viction, we observe strong appearances of danger and calamity from' an opposite quarter— namely; from the use to'Which the folly of the Catholics is every day turned by their political enemies- 7 01e old combined Orange party of Ire land, and Tory faction here. There never was a spectacle more preposterous than the fright now acted by alarmists on both sides of - thelvater —a new gunpowth:r plot—another re hellion of 16 , 1`2-- - ---a breaking out, that shall make the h t . sorrection of 1793 like a mole-hill to Olympus! Poor Lord Talbot's terror three years ago was nothing to the agony, at this moment, painted on certain Irish visages, and reflected on their brethren now in • welt-acted consternation among ourselves. And for 'what ! BecaUse O'Connell, and half a dozen other mountebanks, gesti culate an d foam at the .mouth, to carry the jolt, or indulge the paroxysm of the hour, their fictitious fury is made an excuse for terrors equally unsubstantial: Nothing could be more despicable than' such fears, if true'; nothing can be more wicked than to feign them. By the Association and its leaders, we are, in our mindS, nut influenced at all, either for or against the thing called Catholic Emancipation. If •the measure be a right one, the enfpire . at large--Pro testant us well as Catholic--toast have such an interest•in it, that to withhold a vast public be. nerit, because a few vain . .and shalloW termagants threaten us with their anger if we do not grant it, would 'be 'of all injustice and all cowardice .the Most ignoble. As (Or these same demagogues 'of the Association.-4urbulettq , and selfish, and in discreet as they haveproied Them - selves, thil are not wild enough to wish for an overthrow of laW and property, and :of -their own station (rotpect, able in• many instances) 4Coletiibiqs of civil„ so= ciety they know too Well the vaillb the golden eggs to. the goose that lays th e m. But this, though. our sincere opi nion, is not the opinion of many others, who mean as well s ,we •do ourselves.-- The persuasion groins fast among the Protestant hi this country, that, in self-defence, they must crush the. aspirings of the .Catholics. Let . 111 r. O'Connell therefore, and his fellow-labourers, look this matter steadily in the face. ,Do they want a civil war ? No ! Do they expect to carry r in Parliament the question to which they attri bute such importance, against the feelings of the English nation ? Indisputably, no ! See, then, the discretion of these Statesmen. To gain pro selytes to their cause, they mingle it with, and mergelt in, two other' questions ; one, reform-- the other, a repeal of the Union. They then beat. up for two classes of recruits against themselves ; all the enemies of a change in the constitution of Parliament they call upon to become their enemies; all the friends of the Union—that is,. all England, and all reflecting, men in Ireland— they set at open defiance. They have done more ; as if a fatality pursued them, the only government that ever managed the affairs of Ire land with an avowed and systematic view to the advantage of the great body of the people, as contrasted .with the interests of•one monopolizing band, has been overrun in its course, and thwarted by the turbulence of the , very men who profess, themselves most devoted to the princl,plesit espouses. The Irish Govern ment has, actually put down the Orange faction of Ireland with whom religion was the pretext, and selfishness the end ; but these ,wise. Catho lics are straining every nerve to supply the place of the defunct Irish Orangemen, by the creation of thousands of English Orangemen, more stubborn and more formidable, inasmuch as they are more upright than the others ; and who al lege, as the arguments for, their institution, the mysterious growth and purposes of the Catholic „rent, and the seditious violence of the Associa tion and its demagogues. If Parliament a few months hence should be of opinion (provided. the Association lust. so long), that, this body is but a fraud upon the old Convention Act, and the rent a virtual usurpation of the first great right Of the, Legislature, what then becomes of our Ca tholic Barristers—what of that einalcipation which it looks as if they were born to frustrate ? ' [MORNING CHRONICLE.] Letters from Paris, in which much confidence may be placed, state, that his Royal Highness the Dauphin has expressed his opinion most freely in the French Cabinet respecting the pre sent state of Spain. He .has complained that none of the Treaties into which be . had entered with various Constitutional Officer's had been observed, and that every promise which he had made to the people had . been violated by the Absolute and virtuous King' of Spain.", He has consequently urged the necessity of withdrawing the French army from Spain, because they are only em ployed in upholding a system, which must eventually lead to civil war. The same letters adi,l ? that Ferdinand perseveres in his system of Government becivise he does not believe.that his 'relative, Charles the Amiable, is serious in his re solution to withdraW from an absolute Bourbon 00;ernment the protection of French bayonets. A ffrenter proof of the enormous iniquity of the French invasion of Spain could not well be ima gined, than the actual state of that distracted country. The restoration of Ferdinand by a French Army to ,the enjoyment of his absolute , rightS, hiss converted its fields into deserts, and is. rapidly reducing the people into the most degraded state of barbarism. These are amongst the, benefits which the restoration of the Bourbons has conferred on the human race. Before the 'honey market Closed 'a rO-action took place in the Consols, and 95. H. was the last price of the (lay. On Tuesday evening the French ltetits closed in Paris at 10,u,00c. for the end 'of this month. It is a remarkable circumstance, that neitlu the Paris prices of Wednesday, nor any Spaokh or French Newspaper have been re ceived by the express reported to have arrived here, in seven days from Madrid. [BRITISH rttEss.] Last night we received the Paris Papers of Wednesday. The Greeks continue to gain fresh suCcesses. The insurrection against the Porte spreads in every direction. Amongst others, the Pacha of Syria has shaken off the Ottoman yoke. This, we have nci , ,th.mbt, will prove only' the comniencethent of a series of rebellions, by ,which the Turkish empire will be finally dismembered, Ibrahim Paella, the son of the Viceroy of Egypt, is, it appears , the . prisoner of the Greeks, to gether with Ismael Gibraltar, the Egyptian Admirah The ilegociations for their ransom will, it is highly probable, lead to the secession of the Viceroy from the contest. The Turkish troops aro committing all kinds of exCesses in Moldavia and Wallachia,. which they seem to have no in tention whatever to evacuate. In the critical review of a new work on contemporaneous bio graphy, in the .Conitilulionnel, we find the follow lug .sketch of the French Professor, M. Cousin, whose seiriure by the Prussian police has excited such deep and just indignation among his country men :---,- 4 ‘,M..Viotor CouSin was : horn at Paris in 1702 ; from his earliest youth lie evinced a strong paSsion for study and ,the sciences, and crowned his scholastic success by obtaining the prize of :ho nour, which exempted him frthwthe' Conscription. He was the II r s i t' pe p il 111 the Normal school, which had just.. then been founded.; and he there speedily became Master of the Conferences. His 'early merit; appreciated by all those who knew him, did not eica'pe ',the' notice of the Visitor, M. Royer Collard, who being summoned in 1810 to disCha'rge•mOr«; important duties,' fixed on M. Cousin to-act as hiS substitute in .the' chair of History; Philosophy, and the Belles Lettres. A profound judg;n,ilt, united With a knowledge of affairs, and a ready eloquence, are indispensable' to the person executini , these duties. They were . 'all possessed by M. emisin. 'A 'iloiltinuance of increasing success made it almost forgotten that M. cousin'i was hot the . tict#alProfessol' in his own right. lie had a'. mode of instruction which imparted great interest to his leCtures ; he 'never separated moral 'frein 'speculative philosophy Nutwithstanding 4 services i. of M. C,' 1 I 1 t he I 18'20 1 owiag his disfavour to the Sharp.7sighted ness of the Ministry, who were of opinion that his doctrines ought tiot to bend to the . principhis (the morality of interests) which he was endea vouring to establish at that period; and which were gaining ground more and more: thus tie was disgraced at the University, at the very mod. ment that M.lller Collard was disgraced in the higher department. rIIIORNING HERALD.] Wednesday's Paris Papers arrived late last night ; they contain some interesting news—,—or rather, perhaps, interesting rumours from Spain and Greece. In Spain, the departure of the trench, which is stated to have already begun, has excited .a strange anomaly of feelings and wishes among the parties and the Government. The fanatics and the Serviles are eager for the evacuation of Spain, and the Clergy have pro mised a large sum to Ferdinand if he will con sent to and expedite this measure. Ferdinand himself, on the other hand, is filled with alarm at the departure of his allies. The young Queen, and Princes, brothers of the King, are in still greater consternation, and have, it is stated, written to Charles X., ,requesting the continu ance of the. protection of his armies. The whole Royal Family, not thinking themselves safe at Madrid, without a French garrison, were about Ito set out for Burgos. The Constitutionalists, like Ferdinand, regret the departure of the in vaders. No doubt, on their leaving . Spain, mas sacre and pi!lage will be the order of the day. The accounts from Greece are highly favourable to the independents. They obtain victories by sea and land. Omer Vrione is surrounded without a chance of escape, if not actually dead ; and the son and first Admiral of the Paella of Egypt have become prisoners to the Creeks ; and their ran som, it is expected, will be like a loan to the Greeks, with the advantage of paying no interest. Walachia and Moldavia, so far from being eva cuated, are horribly plundered by the Turks. [MORNING POST.] The Catholic Aisociation is organising a sys tem of disaffection throughout Ireland, which cannot be too speedily broken up. The germs of insurrection and, rebellion are already apparent In all its machinations and movements ; nor: is the general co-operation and active agency . of the Catholic Priests, in going about, half extorting, half soliciting 44 Rent," the least ominous symptom of the proceedings. A paragraph, copied from a . Limerick Paper the other day, after slating the amount of this tax received in the week, 'emphatically added, that the largeness. of the sum was owing to the exertions of the Romish Clergy in personally collecting it. Will any man who knows Ireland say, that those Priests. would act thus in order to promote the political welfare Of the people through the British Legislature ? The supposition is silly. They conceive and calculate an d foresee as the result o f th a t , on a ,revolution, 44 event," the establishment •of the Romish Church on the ruins of the Protestant Church, and the endowment of the former with the pro perty, possessions, and rights of the latter.— No other object on earth could rouse the Ca tholic' Priesthood from the sly and sluggish en joyment of their ample relenues, , but the ag grandizement of the religious confraternity which they constitute. Silently and secr e tly they have for half a century past been labouring. progressively to the same end. The, founding of convents7—the erecting of new and the 're building of old chapels—the providing. of funds for the establishment and maintenance of Romish institutions-,,these, and all .the minor Resins at their command so firmly implanting the Catholic Creed, have been cunningly but successfully employed since the penalties of the law have been lightened off the neck of Irish Catholicity. At present,. the .Priests have taken to a bolder part, and as the Association has increased in audacity, they have gradually un t r ', folded their mantle of hypocrisy, and showers the daggers which they have always carried against the Constitution of England in Church and State. Well and truly might Father Le strange boast, that the Catholic Clergy were not apathetic spectators of what was passing, •and would be found at their posts when the proper time arrived. Yes—they are indeed the core of the Association and the curse of Ireland. tTIIE PUBLIC LEDGER.] The depression of the Austrian Funds, to judge from the German Papers, which arrived yesterday, has occasioned no slight sensation in Germany. It is again stated, that the affairs of Turkey are the cause of this sudden de. dine, but, why they should now produce this effect, apparently constitutes the puzzle. The Porte has satisfied Russia on the points which had given the latter umbrage ; there. fore the alarm cannot proceed from this source. A scheme for dividing the Turkish dominions is still more improbable ; for even the partitioners of Poland would hardly have the effrontery to commit this violence upon a Power that has made the concessions required of it. It is fully as difficult to suppose that. Oilferences have arisen between Austria and Russia, respect., ing the future condition of the Greeks. There 1 has been, it is true, a rumour to this effect; but it has not thes em bl ance o f probability; and we doubt whether Al exan d er h a s the magnanimity which this rumour assigns him. To recognize the political existence o f the Greeks, ~,,,With their p re s ent liberal instit ut i ons , exceed/the measure of his 'g en erosity ; and therefore it is unlikely that he would quarrel with the Court of Vienna, and thus dissolve the Holy Alliance, for this subject. 'Yet the report that au Austrian army i s to be formed in th e spring on the frontiers of Turkey, would seem t o countenance the supposition ; but this ar my , if its assemblage be not fabulous, would more seasonably imply some scheme of v i olence against the Gre eks, than dif ferences with Russia on account of that people. It has been repeatedly stated too, that the Courts of St. p e t us b uig h and Vienna mean to act in concert, for the purpose of terminating hos tilities between the 'Turks and Greeks. This resolution, which could only be effected by violent interference; would fully explain the de. pression of the Austrian funds. Austria hated. the.Greeks,from the commencement, in corse ,quence of their resistence to oppression, which might tempt the, Italians to follow their example ; and • this original cause cif antipathy has been incredibly aggravated by- the sympathy which the friends of freedom throughout the world have ex pressed in behalf of struggling Greece. There are sufficient grounds for the policy ascribed to the Austrian Government; and it is our own opi nion, that the latter will never rest till it makes a violent attempt to bring the Greeks within the pale of legitimacy ; though it is our firm per suasion that it will not succeed. :". ? ~i { +' ~•~ /~ ITURBIDE. The following narrative of the particulars at tending the fate of ITURBIDE, is extracted from the Baltimore American. It differs in many ma-, terial points from the accounts previously pub lished, and as it has been drawn up by one of his suite, who was an eye-witness to the events described, possesses, perhaps, superior claims to authenticity A SIMPLE BUT TRUE RELATION OF THE ARRIVAL OF ITURBIDE AT MEXICO, AND OS THE MOTIVES WHICH BROUGHT HIM FROM EUROPE. Iturbide was called to London by many powerful reasons ; and by the most important to the Mexican nation; believing that his presence was the only means of uniting the many di. vided opinions, and of organizing an army which could oppose the invasion w hich Spain would probably attempt, as soon as Ferdinand VII. would be re-established in the plentitude of his power, by the assistance of France anti other nations. Itur bide was of this opinion, in . relation to the expected invasion, and was desirous of assisting his country, even at the sacrifice' of all that was dear to him—he did not hesitate a moment. He sent for his family, then at Leghorn ; and in the meantime busied himself in making the necessary preparations for his voyage, such as procuring a vessel, borrowing money, seek ing for a fit person to conduct him to .slexico, and other arragements. As'soon as his family arrived, he placed his six eldest sons at proper schools, and with his wife, his two youngest sons, two chaplains, a nephew, two strangers (one of whom had before been in his service in Mexico) and tour servants, he embarked at Southampton, in the brig Spring, on the 11th of May last. On the 12th of July, he arrived off the Bar of Soto Is Marini, and was ignorant of the last determination of the ' Mexican Government respecting him, or in what light a com munication had been received, addressed by, him from London, under date of the 13th of February, to the Mexican Congress, offering 'his services as a simple military man, should the na tion deem them useful; and that, for the furtherance of this object lie had departed from . Italy, in the month of November, '1823. He accordingly caused Lieutenant Colonel Don Charles' Beneski to go to ?Soto la Marina and obtain information, ' charging him particularly to, ascertain if General Don Felipe' 1 de In Garza was in that provioce, as he had left him at his de-1 parture. This General was the first who, while Iturbide was l Emperor in Mexico, proclaimed the Republic in the province of Santander; but troops having marched against him, he aban doned those who had followed him, • and presented himself to Iturbide, who pardoned him,. spared his life, and reinstated him in his honours and employ. For this generous action, no doubt, Iturhide thought that •Garza would be grateful, and protect his landing and subsequent operations. But no .he acted a different part. Beneski returned on the morning of the 15th, without bay ing discovered how much Iturbide was in danger • but bring ing favourable inform a tion to Iturbide, which, ;tided to the knowledge that Garza commanded in that quarter, made him determined to land the same evening, being attended only by this stranger. lie instructed the. other persons who remained on board, attached to 'him, to hold themselves in readiness to Mow as soon as they should be ordered so to do.— They proceeded for the first town, where they were to take Horses, and Beneski set about procuring them. Iturbide re mained in the boat near the river side with his face covered to his nose with his handkerchiefa disguise which he used, because he wished to present himself before Garza by sur. prize, and until then not to be. recognized. This circumstance, however, called the attention of the people, who were struck with his appearance, and among thoie who drew near to.see him, was a merchant of Doryngo, who knew him, = and recognized him as he mounted on horseback. lie immediately , informed the alcalde, who sent four soldiers, who followed Iturbide to a small town culled Los Arroyos, where he intended to puss the day, and . proceed by night to Soto la Marina. The soldiers remained quiet and said nothingin his presence. Several-com munieations as to'whnt was going on had' been sent to Garza,and in the evening of the 16th, the General (Garza), with two adjutants and eight soldiers, arrived at the place where Iturbide was. They embraced each other, and after a secret confer. ence, they all set out for the town of Soto la Marina, where they arrived on the morning of the 17th. Iturbide and Beneski were immediately put in prison, and at 12 o'clock that day, one of Garza's adjutants came and announced to them the sentence of death, agreeably to the decree of proscription which Congress passed the very day .that they received and read his exposition of the 13th of February. He inibrmed them that at three o'clock that afternoon it would be executed. Iturbide requests that three days should be allowed him to arrange.'ais family and other concerns ; notwithstanding that before he left the brig lie had made some dispositions, in the event of his dying before he could join his friends. As Garza, wished to save Iturbide's life, he set forth, that the law which condemned him to death ought not to attaint him, if lie were ignorant of its existence, and toereforeordered that they should set out for Padilla, where the National Congress was as sembled ; confiding that this circumstance would be taken into consideration. They therefore set out with an escort of about 100 militia (there.being no regular troops there) at three o'clock in mo t n h i e i n a g fte o rn f t o h o e n , th a t n h d , t r l i i n o g e t s w t o h p i e p h i ng n i i ey e i t t u rf: b v i e d ll e e t a l n u d n t G il a r d z i a e bad together frequent and long conferences, the object of which no doubt was, that Garza should call a meeting of the officers, put them under the command of Iturbide, and make a strong harangue to the troops, exhorting them to follow the only per son who-could save the country and make them happy. l'hey all agreed to this, and Garza returned to Soto la Marina with the intention of making the necessary arrangements for the new operations : but on his arrival there he received letters from-the inhabitants, complaining and .disapproving of his conduct, which determined hint to return immediately to the place where Iturbide was. Iturbicle had proceeded towards Padilla; and on his approach to that city. sent an officer to the President of the Congress, begging hint to call a meeting of that body, and soliciting him in the name of his country to listen to the powerful reasons which hail induced him to return to Mexico, assuring him of his determination to obey the will.of the nation without any restric tion whatever. _ . . ...._., %Vhile waiting for an answer to this communication, • Garza approached him, and said it would only he necessary for him to enter as a prisoner until he could speak to the Congress. To this Iturbide consented, anti at eight o'clock on the morning.of the 10th they entered Padilla. Ile there was put under a guard of 20 men and.an officer, and conducted to one of the first houses of the town. Garza went to the Congress, where were assembled the seven voters who then composed, that body. He dwelt with much force on the reasons which ought to save Iturbide—stat ing, as the principnl one, that on coming ashore he knew nothing of the decree, which was the only one against him, and that he ought to be allowed to embark again with his faMily, under the obligation 'of not returning to the territory of the. re public. But this body, composed, of men not the most en lightened, and only lately placed in such high stations, being desirous, like Eros, to hand their names down to posterity, would give no other decision but that he must die agreeably to the act of Congress ; and this they resolved, Without being able to answer the powerful arguments of Garza. Obstinate, and determined not to listen to reason, they im periously ordered Garza to have him shot the same afternoon, and he retired togive the necessary orders. While Garza was addressing Congress, Iturbide was busied in writing a third exposition to the General Congress of Mexico, in which lie recapitulated the many services he had .rendered the nation, since he hadproclainied theindependence at Yguala, with a long examination of his public conduct, in which he could not perceive whit atrocious crime lie had committed to deserve the punishment .of death. This memorial was not sent to Congress, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, the sen tence of death was intimated to Iturbide for the second time, and that:it would be executed (as it really was) at six o'clock, or after sunset. To put this sentence into execution, 100 men from Soto la Matina, and about 50. more who were in Padilla, were formed on the public place, and a picquet of 20 men under an Adju tant conducted Iturbido to die place of execution. us he was proceeded taken from the house where' he was confined, he requested that lie might be permitted to be seen by the people, and he appeared to l oo k ea gerly around him.. lie asked how many were to tire at him, and being informed four, said they were few, and requested that three more might he added. He then asked for the place where he was to be shot. There were no h e e y :• s en i t i r ns di el e f. sP .T ot iley asi n ce e d it fora hand. preparatio a n t s a m b a o d u e n , d and s kerchief`, to tie hishands, and this he at first resisted, Until . -being hi; formed that compliance. would be enforced if hd did not wd hngly grant it, he then permitted himself to be bound, and pr. seeded to the place of execution. There; addressing himself le the soldiers, he spoke to them - thus—;"'lllexicans, at tile reel moment of dying I %commend you to love-Your country; and tO observe ourholy religion—these will - conduct you to glory. I die for having come to help ou, and di happy beeause die among you. I die with ho .y nour, and not e as a traitor.. That stain , will not rest upon'my sons and their descendants. • I aru no traitor. Be-sub Ordinate andobedientlo your chiefs in cxr• outing what they and God • may command. I do not say this from vanity, for I am far from being vain." Having B aia this, he knelt down, and raising Ms voice, he said, " I Par' don all my enemies with all my heart." Ile had hardly ut• tered• these words, when the soldiers taking aim, discharged vtheir muskets, and lturbide died His body was ten eon. and veyed to the same house where .he had been detain h ed, on the 20th buried in an uncovered church, even without the ceremony of a coffin, as is customary. His wife, and those who accompanied him, have been for, ever expelled from the territory of the republic. A pension g 8,000 dollars has been granted to the first, and she has come to the United States of North Amirica, from whence she in• tends shortly to go to Colombia, where she is to enjoy b e pension. DEFICIENCY OF THE SUPPLY• OF WATER AT THE RECENT FIRES. ......_......,----- Yesterday a Special meeting. of the Bri d g e House Committee of the Corporation was held for the purpog of inquiring and receiving evidence as to the n cause of t N he de& --ciency of the supply of water experienced at te recent fires. strangers were admitted during the investiga t i o n, and we ar e therefore unable to give a full account of the proceedings; but Little Bridge-street, took a very from what has transpired, we learn that the most complete ed. dente was received. More than forty firemen who attended all the late fires were examined, together with the parish officers, turncocks, and others. Afr.-Aldesman iVaithino, who from his residence was well acquainted with the localiticls and circumstances attending the fire in Fleet -street and that' in —With respect to the latter plac it appeared that in one instance an immediate supply was obtained; but that front the were at considerable distances from gratings or galley' circumstance of their being several lar g e holes at the ends of the streets, the water ran to waste a con• siderable time, and could not be made use of until they were each stopped up. In one or two instances the plugs, it appeared, active part in the investigaton , . d zil i t e og en et o li took place, and were not readily found out. Considerable incon venience was sustained, and many exdiets, all taking up great time, were necessarily resorted ton order to get the su , I,: plies from them. In the Old Bailey, where one main runs, ;nd some loss of time was sustained in getting the supply for the fire at Messrs. IVilkinson's, it was found that in alacAthuni,- ing the road the paviours had ignorantly covered up the Pl*l the one place diminisl the ed th s e li s o u ts Pr wl Y hearretitllele9tfil engines altogether. in With respect to the fires in Leadenhall-street ant, D"gatc , it appeared that the water discharged for the use 0 1 for they took place nearly at the same time, and both sir were supplied from the same mains. We understand tha o t,,t ',', Committee, after very minute and laborious t ha t examinatiofit f:1 the circumstances, came to an unanimous conclusion,. ,oart, supplies of water were in every instance sufficient, and taa`. l. , far as the I Vater Companies were anicerned no blame s' . imputable W them. The deficiency of the supplies arose fro l, • the imperfect w e re nature of the parochial arrangements s som _ spect to plugs and stations, as a general cause, and in .. e instances the deficiency arose from causes purely accidental _. The Water Companies have nothing to do with directing.:ll.t; the spots on which it is expedient that plugs shall be flx,ra e v r ' c , will fix them wherever they are required.' It is z Ice,be l , l z e i f i ce ri commended that the Common Council, or Wl"adds ' should see to new regulations in this respects and cause , tjonal plugs to be placed where they have been found r g f, It is also in evidence as one p oint of great importance, that st ditional fi re-cocks l lolls toff should be put down and t he stat It , 1 . known.
