and the Indians, lu the interior of the forth-west territory. MQNTREAL, Nov. 13.—We some time ago mentioned that disturbance had taken place between the people employed in le service of the Hudson's Bay Companyand the Indians in 'e interior;—since which, information has been received in 'wn, stating that a general coalition of the Indian tribes on le North-west territory, to the amount of some thousands, ad taken place, and that they attacked the Whites on the Red liver, who defended themselves with great bravery, but in the ontest the Settlers sustained some loss. They succeeded, iowever, in preserving their ground, and keeping the savages It a distance. Letters from our squadron in the Tagus, dated the 2 4th January, state that the Magnet packet had just sailed r'r England, with dispatches for Government, announcing a 11 , 5 05 t important c h ange i n t h e P or t ug uese Administration, and t . hat a ne w C onst i tutional Code was d a il y ex p ec t e d to be issued, h l?!e favourable to the liberty of the subject and freedom of Political opinion, and which, if honestly persisted in and carried mto effect, it is expecte d w ill go a gr eat way toward uniting the ea mending parties of that misgoverned country. The same w Portu guese writers also state the i mportant f ac t, that the lortu guese possessions in the Brazils are separated for ever 'from the mother country, upon the broad principle of the Inde pendence o f those States, with the privilege .to the King of ronTticAL to make a favourable Treaty between the two c ,: i ' L s l l l tri es• The new Portuguese Government had expressed a en.lld accompany should accompany our late Ambassador at Paris (Sir CHARLES STUART) effecting this ut other Commissioners to the Brazils, to assist no 3 h. desirable object. The Portuguese had ex ships of war in a fit state for the voyage' it was therefore eFected that oar Government would provide the necesary suit- We conveyance. The Wellesley, 74, Captain G. E. HAIL -11-)I C*B , as we have already tated, has been appointed to this service.. IRELANn.---We understand that several per sons of high consideration and fortune have it in contemplation to establish a Joint Stock Company, for the purpose of buying Lands in Ireland, in order to let them at reasonable and fair rents, on a plan similar to that which has been adopted by the Drapers' Company. They likewise intend to purchase s evera l e xtensive Salmon and other Fisheri e s, with a view to the employment of the lower classes in that country ! Schemes such as these will be productive of great national benefit, and, if the Courts of Equity its England will only sanction the investment of Trust Money in the Purchase of Land in the Sister Kingdom, when ever the parties interested are desirous of doing S °s it will tend to ameliorate and improve the c ondition of Ireland more rapidly than any of the measures which have hitherto been adopted ! THE GREEKS. MISSOLONGIII, JAICIO. in The auth ors o f th e t rou bl es w hi c h h ave t a k e n place the Peloponessus have corns here to seek shelter. They are tos siois de Gastouni.

They immediately sailed to the Scroplies Islands, which are uninhabited. The next day they went to Calama, an island of th e L euca di an A rc hip e l ago , f r om width they were obliged to sail for Zante. When they reached that port the apostates were received by the people with showers of stones ; and they would have been killed, had not the Local Authorities interfered. Patras, which has been continually blockaded by sea and land, is at the last extremity. The besieged having begged to capitulate, andiltaving first solicited an armistice, sent as hos tages two nephews of Mustapha Bey, formerly Vaivode of Achaia, and two Laliot Agas. A cousin of Marc Botzaris, the son of Natchis Phatomaris Suliotes, and two individuals be longing to families in the Greek Government, have been given them in exchange. 'rids being settled, the negociatiors came out of the Acropolis, requesting leave to send a deputation of the Chiefs to Napoli, that they might regulate their Convention with the Executive Council of the Greek Government. This request was granted. They set out, and are at present at Napoli. An expedition is preparing here, consisting of 4,000 Hellenists and 5 00 Epirots, commanded by Gouras ;to these have been joined 600 Peloponnesians, 2,000 Hydriot, Spezziot,Samian, and other islanders : its destination is unknown, but it is thought to be for the attack of Lepanto or the island of Eubetra. It is known that the Turks of Patras demand the privilege et' 'starching out with their arms and baggage, and to be trans- Ported, some to the Husproties, others to Prevesa, and part to Asia Minor, all at the expence of the Greeks. A letter from Napoli, dated the Ist of this month, announces that th e Government has granted a pardon to old Theodore Colocotroni.—(Journal des Debats.) INDIA. wax,* (EXTRACT OP A LETTER LATELY RECEIVED 1110 RANGOON.) RANGOON, JUNE 2.—The orders of the Beuga 'fleet were, that every ship was to make the best of in; way to Port Cornwallis, in the Andarosans and there to rendezvous till the whole of the ships from both Presidencies of Bengal and Madras were collected. Our little bark had a good pas 'sage till we came to the Great and Little Acre Islands, where we were becalmed for five days before we could get round Jackson's Ledge and other reefs of coral rocks to enter the liar ;bour of Cornwallis. We saw scarcely a ship all the way, and had no great amusement beyond catching dolphins, bonitos, &c. and watching the shoals of porpoises performing their rude gambols on the surface of the deep. When we neared our de stination, we saw first a sail or two, then three or four, and so on, till the whole ocean was clothed with white canvas ; and we concluded at first that it was our brethren, but the strangers proved to be our Madras friends ; and it was one of the finest sights in the world to see the combined fleets of large 'transports, filled with armed men, and all sails set from the mainsail to the royals, beating into the noblest harbour you can conceive, and - every ship en d ea vouring to get to windward of each oth er . We arrived on the 3d May ; but I must not dwell at the Andarosans, except to say that the scenery is the grandest and wildest I have ever seen, and that I boated round every bay and c ree k, and island and inlet in the harbour. — «'e bade adieu to the savage cannibals of those islands on the ` ll , and reached Rangoon River on the 11th, about ten o'clock A.M., the whole fleet of transports, and his Majesty's ship Liff ey , a frigate of 50 guns, commanded by Commodore Grant, the Larne" sloop of war, Capt. Marryatt, and the Sophy brig of war. We had not gone far up the river before the gallant Burmese, without waiting any preliminaries, poured in a fire from one of their batteries upon the frigate, awl so on all the way tip to the town of Rangoon—every ship having to inn the gauntlet as she sailed by about a dozen of these petty batte ries. They did no execution, and their shot all fell short, or else the gun burnt priming. All the transports returned the fire as they passed the batteries. At length, about half - past one, the frigate anchored midway in the river, exactly op polite the town, and abreast of their principal battery, the vil lage of Dallia, a large straggling place being on the other side of the river ; she immediately poured in her broadside , first on the starboard, and then on the larboard, and in the course of a few minutes the whole town and river were enveloped in smoke.,, The inh a bit a nts, 'poor wretches, to the amount of 30,000, or thereabouts, were driven out in about three hours, And in the evening our troops, European and native, landed.— Bit the Burm ese are beaten, not conquered ; and now, in the - height of the rains, they have stocked themselves in every di aection round Rangoon, shoot our sentries, and harass our troops in every way. M have carried their strong hold on every oc casion, but they return from their impenetrable forests, and build them up again; and unless the King of Ava gets fright ened, the system of Gove r nm e nt i s s o completely feudal, the war will last a long time. Rangoon is built entirely of wood, and ;surrounded with a wooden wall, composed of thick beams 25 feet high. Their Pagados are magnificent, built of brick, and gilt from turret to foundation stone, so that when the sun shines they look like, and indeed are, pyramids of burnished gold. Accounts have been received from Mexico, by way of New York, to the 18th of December, but are of the same tenour as most of the preceding ones, it being wholly devoid of political interest. The Diamond frigate, which is to bring Mr. HARvEy to England, had not sailed at the date of the present advices. The letters are said to contain very favourable reports from the mining districts. THE THEA_TRES. DIWAY•LANE.—After the Fall of 41giert, a new Afterpiece was brought forward on Satur day, under the title of The Shepherd of Derwent Vale, or the Innocent Culprit. The following is a brief report of the Fable : Sir Wilfred Wayward (Mr. Archer) having attempted the murder of his brother, is in danger of having his design disco vered by an old soldier, whom he murders to avoid the shame. He persuades Shock (Mr. Sherwin), an orphan shepherd, to take the crime upon himself, and promises to save him from the penalty. Just as Shock is on the point of being executed, he is discovered to be the brother of Sir Wilfred, who, in a fit of despair, jumps from the rock into a river, leaving his injured brother sole heir to his title and fortune. It may be thought that some of the incidents in this Piece are of too horrific a kind for a Drama of this description ; but most of the later pro ductions of the stage have been so wild, romantic, and terriGc,that mere natural events would appear too tame, and be too unaffecting to tempt Ma nagers to bring them forward with the hope of success. There is nothing of striking ori ginality in the new Piece, but it is far from being destitute of interest, and the simple and natural acting of Mr. SNERWIN in particular rendered it successful. It is ascribed to Mr. LUNN, who, by all accounts, is a scholar and a gentleman, the Author of several poetical productions, as well as of those popular Farces Family Jars and Fish out of Water. A very good house. COvENT•G.tuDEN.—TIte Comedy of The In constant was repeated on Saturday before a very numerous audience, chiefly for the purpose of re• storing Miss FOOTE to the part of Oriana, a part that, in her endeavours to induce the object 01 her affection to marry her, corresponds with her own fate. She was received, as before, with warm and universal applause, and the Comedy, as we remarked on a recent occasion, went off with great spirit. THE OPERA Housa.—The reason of the delay in opening this favourite resort of the fashionable world is highly honourable to the LORD CHAM BERLAIN, who will not permit any performance to take place till he is assured of the solidity of the building. Mr. BENJAMIN WyaTT, the in telligent Architect of Drury-lane Theatre, has made a report, on oath, as to the dangerous state of the Opera House. Several other Architects, however, have been employed on the occasion, and their report is very favourable to the state of the building. When the sanction is obtained, it will be opened under the direction of Mr. EDERS, whose former management gave full sa sfaction to the subscribers.

SHIP CANAL."A. public meeting of landowners and occupiers of houses at Colyton, Devonshire, was held last week, to take into consideration the proposed Ship Canal from Beer Harbour to Bridgewater. The number of persons who attended was at least 100, a great proportion of whom were evi dently persons of the first respectability and consequence in that part of the country—T. Still, Esq. was called to the Chair.—J. Kingdon, J. Carslake, U. Corbyn, Gordon, W. Payne, Head, Esqrs., and Capt. Ule, severally addressed the Meet ing in terms of warm commendation of the p ro p osed measure, and, in the course of their observations, :inverted and replied to the objections which had been raised against the proposed un dertaking, in support of which the unqualified sanction of Lord Rolle and Sir W. Pole has been obtained.—The decisive ad vantages of the Canal, both nationally and provincially, were strongly insisted on by the respective speal and resolutions adopted in consequence.—( Hampshire Chrtnicle.) WiNcnEsTEn, FEB. 12.—The Trustees and Directors of the Hampshire Friendly Society held their primary meeting at the Grand Jury Chamber, in this city, on Monday last, at which JOHN FLEMING, Esq. M.P. presided, to whose strenuous and indefatigable exertions this excellent institution owes its establishment. The Secretary laid before the Board several applications from persons to be admitted members, and also proposals from the Union Hand in Hand Club, of 108 individuals, who held their meetings at the Black Dog, Gos port, to assure the whole of their members with the societ: . The President informed the Directors, that having received notice of this application, he had forwarded a statement of the respective ages, payments, and assurances, of the members to Mr. Morgan, Actuary of the Equitable Insurance Company, who had certified that they might be admitted with security and advantage to the Institution : indeed, their object beingg, purely benevolent, he was confident the Board would, at all times, be most ready to make a sacrifice to secure to such clubs the advantages they look forward to in affliction and old a g e, but which, from erroneous calculations in their articles, and misapplications of their funds, are seldom realised. Many proposals having also been received from mariners trading ' coastways, a resolution was passed to admit them to the bene fits of the united assurances, with only this restriction—that they are not to be entitled to the payments in sickness, unless confined by illness within the county. Many other propositions were agreed to, and from the number of applications aheady received, a considerable addition of members is anticipated previous to their next meeting. At the CATHOLIC MEETINGS held yesterday evening, at the city and west end of the town, it was unani mously resolved, in deference to the expressed wishes of many friends to Catholic emancipation, that no more money should be collected under the designation of the Catholic Rent ; but that the different Committees should be still authorised to re ceive such contributions as might be voluntarily offered under the name of the " British Catholic Free Gift ;" such contribu tions being applied to the following purposes :-Ist. To vindi cate, by means of a liberal press, the principles, civil and reli gious, of the Catholics of these realms; and expose the at tempts of self-interested writers to confirm the prejudices which well-meaning Protestants entertain against their Catholic fellow subjects. 2d, To defray the expellees of the preparation of peti tions to Parliament, anti attending the collection of signatures in every part of the kingdom. 3d. To furnish pecuniary means for our learned anti pious clergy to publish works in defence of the Catholic religion. 4th. To purchase for the use of Catholic charity schools, cheep books of instruction, that the principles of our holy religion may be early . impressed on the minds of the children, to enable them to give a reason of the faith that is within them, and direct others into the road that leads to eternal life. Suici DE.-011 Saturday evening an inquest was held at the Edinburgh Castle Tavern, Sweeting's-rents, Royal Exchange, before Mr. Shelton, the Coroner, on the body of James Owen, aged Sd, who shot himself with a pistol loaded with three balls, which literally blew off' his head, and scat tered it in pieces about the room. It appeared that the de ceased,who was an eminent violin player, went into Mr. Betts's shop, at the back of the Royal Exchange, and asked leave to go up stairs, beine , a friend of Mr. Betts. His request was com plied with,. when he immediately put a period to his existence by shooting himself through the head with a pistol. Several witnesses were examined respecting the deceased's state of mind, and they proved, that since his return from China, to which place he went in the capacity of master of the band, in Lord Amherst's embassy, he had been particularly wild and pe culiar in hismaimerand behaviour, and which they attributed to a fall he received from a horse in China. Some of his friends described his insanity to have been occasioned by professional disappoint ment. He had performed with great eclat at the Opera.house, and was a member of the Philharmonic Society ; but for the approe:thing season his services had been dispensed with at the Opera-house, and he was determined to offer his services to Mr. Thomas Cooke for the Oratorios. The witnesses were questioned by the Coroner and .Jury respecting the deceased's circumstances. They said he was possessed of independent property ; had, at the least 4001. in Lubbock's Bank ; and, in fact, when h e p urc h ase d the pistols, he gave a check on that firm for the price —viz. 23 guineas. The only cause that could, therefore, be assigned to induce him to commit suicide, was the acute manner in which he felt the rejection of his services, and which produced a temporary derangement of mind.—The jury returned a verdict of insanity. THOMAS WENTWORTH BEAumoNT, Esq. M.P. has presented the Northumberland Horticul tural Society with twenty pounds. The same gentleman has a l so g i ven ten p oun d s t o th e Me chanics' Institute at Alnwick.

CAUTION TO SEIIVANTS.—Numerous robberies have, within these last few months, been committed at the west end of the town, by persons who, gaining access to gentlemen's houses, under pretence of vending oranges, matches, &c., inva riably avail themselves of any opportunity which offers itself of • carrying away articles of value that may lay within their reach. Information was this morning received of a robbery committed in this manner yesterday, at the house of E. Horton, Esq., 4, Russel-street, Montague-square, where the thief got eff, carry ing with him a valuable silver tea-pot, and a massive candle stick of the same material. A d ay or two b ac k , i n a s i m il ar ma nner, a handsome spring dial table clock, was stolen from the housekeeper's room, at Lord Somerville's, 28, Hill-street, Berkeley-square.

[BRITISH PRESS.] The speeches of the Earl of Liverpool and Mr. Canning, at the anniversary dinner of the i t i Shipowners' teres th Society, e o clearn Saturday,an and st strong declarations will be react w of these eminent members of the Administration in favour of the liberal principles on which the commercial policy of this country is now founded, will, wo trust, have their due effect in explaining and recommending it to other nations. It certain ly is not surprising that thwy should, at 'first, sus pect that 44 we are adopting some new mys tery," into which we seek to draw them for pur poses of an exclusively selfish character. Mr. Can ning remarked truly, that it was long " before we ourselves learned the secret by which we prosper ed." It may be some time before the rest of the com mercial world will follow the successful example we hold up to them for imitation. Some States may, perhaps, weakly refuse to thrive with us ; they may deny themselves the right of sharing in the general prosperity ; but their error will recoil on themselves alone. They cannot inter fere with the march of our welfare, nor set li mits to the increase of our stupendous wealth and greatness. If there be any foreign statesman at this moment who doubts the propriety of falling into the course in which we are proceeding, let him re flect upon that eloquent passage of the Foreign Se cretary's speech on Saturday,in which he observes, with reference to the fact of his presence at the din ner:—" It is a satisfactory circumstance belonging to this fine country alone that the Ministers of the Crown can mix with their countrymen on occasions of this description, and freely commu nicate information on matters of the greatest inte rest, with perfect sincerity, and a complete ab sence of all disguise. There is nothing at this moment in the policy of England, whether ex ternal or internal, that will not bear the crucible, and that will not come forth brighter on every examination." [THE TIMES.] The Irish papers in the interest of the Catholic Association have opened upon Parliament with a hue and cry about the re-enacting of the " old penal code." This is a mixture of ignorance and fury : no person has entertained any such inten tion : there is no resemblance between the penal code which affected Catholics only, but most sensibly, and the new nonsense-code, which is designed to operate upon Orangemen as well as Associators ; but which will not prevent either faction from pursuing its own object in forms, and through channels, not cognizable or assailable by any law that the wit of man can devise ; except, indeed, it be such a law as would render the do minions of George IV. one vast and intolerable prison. Mr. O'Connell, it is true, in measured phrase, admonishes his brethren to pay strict obedience to the Legislature, the instant that an act shall have passed for putting down the Association under that especial title. But mark the further expressions of this demure and modest penitent :—" Beyond what the law may exact, 64 no submission can be expected, that will pre " vent the Association from pursuing the most " effectual mode of embodying the liberal sen " timents of their Protestant friends with their " own views," &c. &c. There it is. " We " will obey the letter of the Act of Parliament, 44 but depend upon it we shall find out some way " of driving our jauntiug cars through it. We will 44 out-pettifog my Lord Eldon, whatever his 44 Lordship's dear friend, Mr. Plunkett, may 44 promise on our behalf, of magnanimity, re " signation, and so forth. With the help 44 of our good allies, the Corporation Juries "of Dublin, we shall puzzle and plague 44 Mr. Attorney-General yet, as much as " ever the Orangemen contrived to do." And, accordingly, Mr. O'Connell starts in this chase of Catchpole after Catholic, at the very top of his speed. Ile fulfils his pledge almost before he snakes it, having already given notice of a motion for transforming the Association into a 44 Liberal Club," which is to meet in the very rooms hitherto occupied by the creature about to undergo this metempsychosis—to be composed of the same parties—to pursue the same objects— to address themselves to the same passions— to wield the same powers—to continue the same dangers—and to propagate the same bitter and. poisonous fruits. Is not this wise and beautiful legislation ? Is not this most vigorous and effective policy ? Mr. Plunkett confesses, with befitting candour, that the Association is but the symptom of the fever which he deplores, and that his new law undertakes for nothing but to repress the symptom. The Right Hon. Gentleman's attempt is an humble one ; yet it promises, as we have seen, by far too much. Instead of changing the seat of the disorder, it will not repress a single indication of it ; the eruption will be as thick, as offensive, and dangerous as ever. It is no case for blistering, still less for bleeding, nor for quackery of any sort; the open air, liberty, and ease of mind,are the only specifics for this constitu tional malady. Why, then, cannot such natural, such providential cures, be administered ? Alas l the doctors disagree—the college is divided ; each stands by the theory which first brought him into practice,—the unfortunate suffer is not worth con sidering, and the Sangrados, who constitute the majority, have the multitude yelling round, " Give us plenty of hot water and blood." In the mean time Messrs. O'Connell and Shiel have each (like good Catholics) his patron Saint. Shiel has quitted the shrine of St. Donouglimore, whom the Kerry pilgrim still professes to wor ship ; and much learned vituperation hath flowed from this unsightly schism. [MORNING !JERALD.] Friday's Paris Papers a rrived last night. They contain much political speculation and little news. The Journals of the Liberal party, and, even the one Journal which especially Parc' s the interest of M. de Chateaubriand, have takut a decided part for England against Russia. In. deed, their tone is such that one would suppose, in the abse nce of any other evidence, that the I two nations were actually at or ou the eve of
