Chapter on Waists," is lively, sketchy, and original ; and dives all due importance to its subject. Our own defini tion, however, of a lady's waist, differs toto ccelo from the author's; he seems inclined to think that it should be in visible to a short-sighted man, at four yards distance; we are more terrestrial in our notions of female symmetry, for though advocating the - slender, yet we abomi nate the invisible, in, a lady's figure. How, we ask, are 'we to fall in love with a virgin whose fairy form we tail only see through an opera glass ? The idea, however sentimental, is monstrous. " Contributions by distinguished Contemporaries, Miss Landon," is pretty poem—as pretty indeed as its fair authoress, who biking her as a whole, has as bewitching a pair of black eyes las 7a lady could wish to see with. We trust this atatement will ensure a favourable consideration of the poem. A lady with good eyes must be clever :—This at least is our logic.

PAlus, JAN 4 29.----The Official Journal of Spain, of the 18th of January, contanr, followit% article ON PORTUGAL. ages The thees which have taken place in Portugal since 'the - 34tt of July last, when a new mode of Government 'e Proe!Aimed, naturally inspired the Spanish Govern men', with apprehensions of the interruption of the tran quillity 'a its kingdoM, which is much in need of repose to the deep wounds ivhich ancient calamities had left behind, and which rebellion had recently re-opened. Even supposing that every thing passed peaceably in the neigh bouring country, Spain could not without uneasiness see a Representative System established like that which caused us so many calamities, by weakening the protecting power of the throne, dissolving the public administration, relaxing all the bonds of society, and giving up persons and rights to the daggers and insults of a furious band, or rather sacrificing them to the sordid interests of the Revolutionists, who seduced and paid this multitude, to make them overthrow the barriers which opposed their ambition and their cupidity. Without examininr , the value of the theories sanctioned in Portugal, it was to be feared that their appearance might fotrient in the minds of some deluded Spaniards the in - -stifled gerrna einsurrection—that it might awaken their hives and re.animate their efforts to renew it. It was to be feared that, to increase the danger, there might be added to th's effects of example the declamations of the friends of novelty; for innovators aspire no less to rule by opi nion than conquerors do by arms. It is not necessary to seek in the present crisis for proofs of this truth ; it is suf ficient to read the multitude of journals with which the capital of this Monarchy was immediately inundated, to find in them, though they are restrained by the Censor ship, to which they are subject, the exaggeration of the principles adopted, the attacks against authority, the thirst of vengeance, impatient of the check imposed on it by the. Tribunals—in a word, the germ of dissolution, which produced among es such fatal effects. The Authorities were obliged, at the very onset, to punish several writers, and even to prohibit the publication of any other Journal ; sclo certain it is that people overflow like torrents, when the tiyieg which confine them are broken down in ally point Whatever. To the great danger which the example and the desti nies of Portugal presented, were soon added the commo tions, prodUCed by the change. From the south to the north of that kingdom, symptoms of discontent with the new system manifested themselves. On both sides a part Of the armed force declared against the innovation, in the name even of the reigning dynasty, and then began the emigration of several corps and individuals into the Spa- Uish. territory. The communication of hostile measures, and persons, and movements, for which the extensive frontiers of the two countries afford so much opportunity, led to the criminal desertion of some Spanish soldiers, and Inflamed the minds and revived the hopes of restless men. Of the interior of the kingdom the Intendant of Police himself, in a circular, of the 12th December last, confesses that " the zeal of parties, acting in contrary directions, has again troubled the public tranquillity." Tranquillity was necessarily still more troubled on the Spanish frontiers, where a multitude of discontented persons collected to seek a retreat, and the troops which support the Constitution puriued the former. It was thus that they entered our territory, and soon re turned into their own country, before the Spanish Govern ment, which reposed in profound peace, had sent forces to that line to check their movements. Spain, therefore, was exposed not only to the moral influence of the changes in the neighbouring country, but also that of its troubles, and even to the invasion of its troops. In such a state of things, the prudence of the King could not, at the sight of these disorders, remain longer tranquil, out of regard for the independence of the Government, and the friendship which, for many reasons, attaches us to it. The safety of the State, which is the supreme care of society, the dignity of the Crown, the fundamental Go vernment of the Monarchy, and the honour of the Spanish name, laid our Sovereign under the necessity of preserv ing his dominions from the moral contagion, and the armed aggressions which might violate his frontier s. This sacred object, the first duty of a monarch, is the tendency of the measures presented in the Circular, print ed at the beginning of this No. ( 1 ). His Majesty respects the independence of the neighbouring kingdom : and he does not pretend to exercise any influence on the destiny which the changes that have taken place reserve for it; he has the most ardent desire to preserve unchanged the re lations of friendship which bind him to his august Allies. He will not intervene in any hostile act against . P ortuga l ; but he will repress and punish every action —every revo lutionary attempt, which shall dare to pass the frontier; he will defend his own, and respect that of the neighbour.. ing country. Foreign Nations, notwithstanding the intentions of the Government, and the vigilance of the Magistrates, offer to anarchists an asylum, of which they take advantage, to carry on to their plot at leisure. \V th a view to render their plans useless, not only will a more strict surveillance be exercised in the adjacent provinces, with which they might communicate, but the military posts have beesi strengthened, and a Corps of Observation has been placed on a line with the Tagus. Th e King of Spain is independent, and free to adopt precautions which are adapted to the security of his people: the necessity of their preservation, and the right of nations, which is derived from them, authorise him to do so; and God grant that no fatal attempt may oblige him to make use of this force to save the honour and the laws of Spain. Our Sovereign desires nothing so much as peace; nothing is more necessary to repair the disasters suffered by his people, and for the introduction of the amelioration which the King, in his wisdom, contemplates ; but nothing would so much sully the C astilianhonour—without which neither the Monarch nor the Peopl e could live—as calmly to suffer any offence to the neutral tranquillity of Spain, any insti gation or attempt to overturn its fundamental laws. The King our master cannot consent to it, and the Spaniards, w ho adore him for his virtues, and who are sufficiently in structed by the excesses and- the disasters of the Revolu tion, would intrepidly hasten, under the Royal banner, to overthrow those who should approach irreverently the steps of the Throne, or should touch the immovable foun dations of the Monarchy. So long as his Majesty remained inactive with respect to foreign troubles, contenting himself with watching over oar internal, repose and security, the Madrid Gaz e tt e h as been silent with respect to ev ents which excited the unea " . .The Circular of the Marquis de Zainbrano, Minister of War, which - the Etoile published some days ago.--Note of the Etoile. siness of the King, and alarmed the minds of loyal Spaniards. On the one hand it seemed proper to imitate the circumspection of the Government, and on the other it was melancholy to divulge news which could not but re mind us of our past sufferings, and increase by new fears the affliction and anxiety of the public. We waited till time and circumstances should show the conduct of the King. This moment is come, and his Majesty has given public orders, and manifested his Royal intention with respect to Portugal. The motives which had induced us to withhold them from the eyes of the Spaniards no longer existing, the Gazette will henceforward publish all the events which shall take place in that Kingdom. BOGOTA. The Bogota Constitutionnel of the 23d of November contains the account of the presentation of the Envoys from the United States, Great Britain, and Mexico, to the President Bolivar. The following was the Address of Colonel Campbell, the British Minister, with the reply of the President : " Sir—lt is with a high feeling of pride and satisfac tion that, in the execution of my public duty, I have to congratulate your Excellency on your return to your na native country—to that country to which your Excellency has rendered such great and eminent services, and wherein the name of your Excellency stands deservedly synony mous with that of Liberator and Father of your country. " I must, however, regret, that the high honour of con gratulating your Excellency on your arrival has not fallen to a person of higher diplomatic character than myself ; such would have been the case, had not the health of Mr. Cockburn, the gentleman accredited by the King, my master, as Envoy Extraordinary , and Minister Plenipoten tiary to the Government of Colombia, obliged him to re turn from Carthagena. " The warm interest which my Government has ever evinced in the welfare of Colombia, and its high apprecia tion, in common with every Englishman, of the public conduct and great achievements of your Excellency, will have caused it deeply to lament the dissensions which have lately so unhappily prevailed in some parts of Colombia : but, Sir, I trust that these evils are only momentary, and that the presence of your Excellency, followed as it is, by the love and high respect borne toward your Excellency by all classes in this country, and the unbounded confi dence which all good Colombians must feel in the mea sures emanating from your Excellency, dictated as they ever have been by the purest patriotism and warmest inte rest in the welfare of your country, will soon bestow in ternal tranquillity, re-establish public credit, and be the harbinger of the return of national prosperity. " Allow me, Sir, to express my delight at seeing your Excellency in the Presidential Chair, and my hopes that the administration of your Excellency may be as perma nently beneficial to your country as your fondest wishes could desire. I have the honour to present to your Excellency a letter from his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, which was intrusted to Mr. Cockburn to deliver, but which honour, from the illness of that gentle man, has now devolved upon me." To which his Excellency replied--" That from no other agent could he have received with more pleasure this con gratulation, in the name of his Britannic Majesty, than from the person who was one of those that carried into ef fect the solemn act which sealed the friendship now exist ing between the Republic of Colombia and Great Britain. His Britannic Majesty had been pleased, in addition, to confer the particular distinction upon him of presenting him with his Majesty's picture, which he should preserve as a proof of his esteem, as a testimony of the generous friendship he dispenses to Colombia, and as the likeness of a Sovereign who, after having persevered in his resistance to the despotism of the Usurper of Europe, presents him self as the protector of the liberties of that quarter of the world : and he should say of Mr. Canning, that he was worthy of such a sovereign, and that lie should always have to remember the share he had in the determination of the British Cabinet towards America. He begged Col. Campbell to make known to the British Government the profound feelings of admiration he entertained for the great Monarch and the great people who employed the omnipo tence of their arms in the promotion of freedom." Col. Watts, Charge d'Affaires from the United States of North America, was then presented to his - Excellency, when he pronounced the following speech : "As the representative of the United States of Ame rica, I congratulate your Excellency on your return from Peru to the Capital of Colombia. I have witnessed the joy and the gratitude of the Colombians in seeing your Excellency once more among them. Enjoying the bles sings of freedom, they are not insensible to the sufferings nor to the sacrifices of their deliverers. They offer their tears and their joy for your pains and your triumphs. The names of Bolivar, of Washington, and of Columbus, will ba inscribed in the imperishable records of American history. The deliverance of your country was the de sign of your youth when you were studying in Europe, but you have accomplished more. The battle of Lex ington, in the North, begae—the field of Ayacucho, in the South, finished the revolution. From the Carri bean sea to the distant shores of the Pacific, you have broken the chains of despotism,and given freedom and peace to three nations, and have acquired a just title to the admira tion of the sons of Colombia, Peru, asd Bolivia. It be longs to them to chew themselves worthy of so valuable a gift—the rank of free men. To the natives, bent under the yoke and dragging on a life of captivity and dishonour since the days of the conquest, you have given liberty. They now breathe the air of heaven, and are allowed to look on the light of day. Among the distinguished trophies of the arms of Colombia, we behold in this capital the royal standard of Pizarro, and the diadem of the last of the Incas, sent hither by the youthful and intrepid Sucre, from the ancient city of Manco Capac. I was wrong in declaring that the field of Ayacucho terminated the revolution. You had still awaiting you the siege of Callao, the last retreat of despotism.—Though deprived of every succour, the infatuated Rodil continued faithful to his master—pesti lence and hunger attacked his garrison ; the old man and the youth, the mother and the infant, perished together. Rodil looked on the desolation, feared, capitulated, and Peru was free. Suffering humanity raised herself from the dust, and saluted you, her Deliverer. Such virtues, such a man, de serve all the lore of my country. I have the honour to express to your Excellency, that the most perfect good faith subsists between the United States and Colombia. It is the desire of my Government to strengthen these relations, by sending Ministers to the confederate Congress of the American Republics—a Congress which owes its exist ence to your Excellency—a Congress whose object is to promote Constitutional principles—to enhance the dignity and happiness of man.—The Minister of the United States resident in this capital, who has so greatly contributed to the friendly relations of the two countries, and who re ceived the additional proof of the honour and confidence of his Government, by being nominated one of the Plenipo tentiaries in the Congress of the American States, died at Carthagena, on his way to Panama. By the death of that Envoy, whom we this day deplore, the United States have lost a distinguished and faithful servant, and the Ge neral Congress an auxiliary, as able as he was zealous. I conclude, by offering to your Excellency, the congratula tions of my Government and of my country." To this the Liberator replied— " I receive with the greatest pleasure the congratula tions which you, Sir, as Charge d'Affaires of the United States, have addressed to me in the name of the Govern ment, and of the Nation, to which you belong. These are so much the more satisfactory, insomuch that the United States of America were the first who sent a Plenipotentiary to Colombia—insomuch, as they have given, and still give, an example to the Nations—they who have combined the utmost sum of social happiness to the power which good order and civil liberty bestow. The United States, the children of England, were the first to point out to us the path that led to independence, and this land, which has the glory of having . been first di scovered by' the great Columbus, places its happiness in irni wing the examples of glory, of liberty, and of virtue, 1 which it receives from the United States. Colombia appreciates them, as the most salutary lessons of ad vice. I must here express my personal gratitude for the invaluable gift which has been presented to me by the august family of Washington, in the portrait of that most holy of men. That inestimable present I shall ever pre serve near my heart, to teach me lessons of moderation and patriotism. I beg of you, Sir, to be the organ of my sen timents to the Government of your h a ppy na ti on , to ex press the desire of Colombia to cultivate with it relations of the strictest and most sincere friendship, and the admi ration and respect which are felt personally towards your Illustrious President, whose opinion s respect i ng t h e Ame rican Congress give it a solemnity which it had no right to hope." When his Excellency had finished, the Diplomatists present remained some time in conversation with hini, and then retired, amidst the immense crowd, which was pre sent at the introduction.

In another column will be found the article on Portugal (to which we alluded yesterday), which ap peared on the 18th ult. in the Madrid Gazette, and was copied into the Etoile of Tuesday morning. The appearance of this article in the Journal which is considered official, immediately upon the intelli gence of the defeat of the rebels in Portugal, gives it more importance than perhaps actually belongs to it. It may be argued, from that circumstance, that FER DINAND, having learnt the overthrow of his hopes in favour of the Royalist party in Portugal, had really abandoned the intention of interfering with the affairs of that kingdom, and that he would strictly confine the services of the army which he had raised to the prevention of the introduction of liberal principles into Spain, and to the suppression of those movements for a Constitutional Government, which the events in Portugal will undoubtedly be likely to give rise to . To a certain extent this article would bear out such an argument, for it describes his MAJESTY as respect ing the independence of the neighbouring kingdom, and as not pretending "to exercise any influence on the destiny which the changes that have taken place reserve for it. It adds, too, that his MAJESTY has the most ardent desire to preserve unchanged the relations of friendship !which bind hint to his august Allies, and that he will not intervene any hostile act against Portugal." From a Government less deceitful and hypocritical than that of Spain such a declaration would at once be considered as conclusive of its pacific intentions, and in every way satisfactory. But expe rience of the past, and the very language of other parts of the same article, will not permit us, without great caution, to receive these protestations from King FERDINAND. His MAJESTY still dwells upon the apprehension of foreign attack from the frontiers of Portugal, of which he well knows there is not the smallest apprehension if he abandons his hos tile views upon that Kingdom ; and he refers in a marked manner to the possibility of the honour and laws of Spain, obliging him to use the force which he admits he has collected on the line of the Tagus. His MAJESTY may, therefore, in con sequence of the recent disasters to the troops under the Marquis de CHAVES, have abandoned for the moment his intentions on Portugal ; but we are satis fied that there is no sincerity in his repentance ; that failure of the first attempts o f the Roya lists his change of tone is simply the conselqisutesn;ceanodf thatthe the e reis declarationsn o the contained smallest security this a r r h t i i c s l e . adherence While he th has an army collected on the Frontiers of Portugal, a pretext for invading that country will not be want ing as soon as a favourable opportunity presents itself; no consolidation of the institutions of Portugal can take place while a hostile demonstration exists on its Frontiers : and without pretending to know the con tents of Mr. LAMB'S despatches, received yesterday, we may rest assured that our Government will not be satisfied that the independence of our faithful Ally is secure, until FERDINAND has, by the disbandment of the army, and by some other distinct acts, proved the sincerity of declarations which cannot at present be relied upon. The Etoile of Tuesday also contained the follow. ing article from Jassy, announcing the arrival there of M. de RIBEAUPIERRE JASSY, JAN. 4.—M. de Ribeaupierre arrived here yesterday evening; he passed the frontier at a moment when he was least expected. All the Boyards went out to meet him, having re turned yesterday from Skuleny, on information that he would stop some days longer at Odessa. He avoided the new altaye (train), which had been prepared in haste to receive him at the entrance of the city, and repaired to the house of the Russian Consul; after giving leave to his suite to occupy the house that was prepared for him. Among the number are Messrs. Fonton, Gourier, and the two Messrs. Pisano. M. de Ribeaupierre intends, it is said, to stop here four or fire days, part of which he will allot to the re ception of the Boyards. The Prince immediately paid him a v i s it—a thing contrary to etiquette in these principalities, and of which there is no previous example. We received last night New York Papers to the 10th, and Philadelphia to the 9th ult. They are desti tute of political news, and the only article of any in terest contained in them, is an account of a Meeting held at New York on the 6th ult., to consider of the most effectual means of relieving the Greeks in their present extreme need of the necessaries of life. Several very sensible Resolutions were passed, and a contribu tion set on foot, the appropriation of which was to be confined to the purchase of food and clothing. We received last night Francfort Papers, and the Allgemeine Zeitung to the 24th ult., and the Trieste Observer to the 3d. The following are extracts : Sairritsa, DEC. 15.—0 n the 6th, Captain Spencer, of the English frigate, the Talbot, stationed at the Gardens, opposite Hydra, was informed by the Primates of that island, that the mutinous seamen vociferously demanded, that as it was impossible to obtain any thing, they declared that they would carry away all the ships, and go in pursuit of merchantmen ; in short, that two ships had already carried their threats into execution, and had sailed. The Primates announced that the greatest fermentation prevailed in the town ; that they themselves were prisoner, in their own houses, where they were in danger of losing their lives, and asked his assistance. Captain Spencer judged that the best measure he could take to prevent the nest of pirates from spread ing over the Archipelago was to place his ship across the entrance bf the port with lighted matches, and declared that the first ship that attempted to put out should be sunk. Commodore Hamilton received this intelligence on the 11 th in the morning, by means of an officer of the 7'albot, who Caine on board a merchant brig which Captain Spencer had hired for the purpose. He immediately went on board the Cambrian frigate stationed at Vourla, whence he sailed almost irinnediately, and sent orders to the Captain of the Rose corvette to join him directly at Hydra. The corvette sailed on the 12th in the afternoon. ODESSA, JAN. 6.—The Marquis de Ribeaupierre has at length left us to proceed on his journey to Constantinople. It is said he will make some stay in Moldavia and Wallachia, for the purpose of making a Report to the Emperor on the state of those provinces, in reference to the treaty of Ackermann. Our latest letters from Constantinople, of the 30th December, bring no news of import ance. Baron Von llillita, Prussian Charge d'Affaires at Constan tinople, has received his instructions respecting the proposals to he made to the Divan, by the European Powers, for the pacifica tion of Greece, and has already presented a Note to the Reis Effendi. The Greeks are impatient for the arrival of the Marquis de Ribeaupierre, because every thing indicates that those proposals, supported also by Russia, will be pressed in the most urgent manner. TRIESTE, JAW. 10. —Last week six Austrian vessels, from Smyrna, entered our port ; they were escorted as far as Cephalo nia by the Austrian brig the St. Mark. We learned, through them, that a rich convoy, that sailed from this port to Smyrna, had safely arrived at Smyrna, under the protection of the Orion brig, and that the Montecuculi had also convoyed several Austrian vessels from Salonichi to Smyrna. By means of this protection, oar numerous convoys experience no loss or molestation : all have reached their destination, though they have sometimes met Greek privateers. The wise and energetic measures of Marquis Paulucci to protect trade, have had the most salutary effect. By the latest accounts from Bombay we find that a majority of the Supreme Court there had refused to authorise the registration of certain restrictions on the Press, transmitted from the Presidency of Calcutta. It would be difficult to condense the arguments ad vanced by the Judges in support of their several opinions, and we shall therefore endeavour to give them at full length to-morrow, from the Oriental Herald for this month. There appears to be a great deal of sound reasoning in the judgments pronounced by Sir EDWARD WEST and Sir CHARLES CHAMBERS ; and even Mr. Justice RICE, who votes for the registration, does so only in deference to " the appellate authority," and not from any conviction of the legality or policy of these restrictions. Our readers are aware that these restric tions consist in the necessity of having a license from the Governor in Council for the publication of news or strictures on the proceedings of Government, and that under specified penalties. The argu ment of the Chief Justice BEST and of Mr. Justice CHAMBERS, goes to prove the non-existence of any necessity for such further regulations at Bom bay, whatever might be the case at Calcutta, and to establish their own discretionary power to refuse assent to the ordinance proposed for their ratification. Onboth these points, it is impossible for us at so great a distance, to give any opinion worthy of being com pared with that of persons on the spot., but we may express the satisfaction which we feel on all occasions at resistance offered to the estab lishment of an y cen sorship of the Pwre always ess.FarrefrjoomiceadaNt' a dvocating 1 punishment n t s e h cause mt 0 0 f f licentiousness, those who abuse the noble p rivile g e of a fre e press -- btoutimp all itiossae v s e h ry n d k i l ff e e s re o n i t l gatloikpe.unisTho endeavour the unruly, andto bring a Government into contempt, to incite clamour and dissatisfaction against rulers, must always be viewed in the light of high crimes, especially under the circumstances of the tenure by which we hold our Asiatic dominions ; but whilst we would there impose severer penalties, proportioned to the aggravated nature of the offence, we think with Sir. C. CHAMBERS, that " when all legal modes of repressing the evil shall have been tried, and tried in vain," it will be time enough to resort to further legis-. lation. We have not yet received any later intelligence from Portugal than that which we published yesterday; but we have received several letters from Lisbon, and read others written by different individuals to persons in this country of the same or earlier dates. All these communications describe the defeat of the Royalist Army as complete, and their cause as having sustained a serious blow. At the same time they agree in stating that the numbers of the Royalists were found to be much greater than had been previously supposed, and that the force which effected its retreat into Spain was very large. Of the favourable reception of the Fugitive Army in Spain, no doubt existed, at the date of the latest communication, from the Head Quarters of Count de VILLA FLOR; but it remains to be seen, whether, when the news of their defeat reached Madrid, and their cause appeared desperate, FERDINAND sent im mediate orders for the disarming of the Fugitives, worded in so unequivocal a manner as to preclude hie authorities from disobeying them, or acting upon the spirit of secret instructions before given. Upon this point bangs the whole question of peace or war. If , notwithstanding, the professions contained in the offi cial article from the Madrid Gazette, there should appear to he any countenance whatever given to the Portuguese Rebels : if there should not be measures taken with them of a decisive character, Spain will be guilty of another breach of neutrality, and the Allies of Portugal must immediately demand reparathon, or be prepared to avenge the injury. A very few days must, however, now decide this question, win& we cannot help thinking has continued in a state of paiu ful uncertainty longer than might have been expected. BOLIVAR, it seems, by letters just received from Bogota, has at last made his triumphant entry into the Capital of Colombia. He was welcomed with the sincerest enthusiasm, and his very presence served, as by a spell, to crush all angry feelings ; and draw forth every generous sensibility which the intoxicating buoyancy of spirit, resulting from a sense of new-born freedom, had in some degree contributed to stifle. When danger no longer stares us in the face, we are too apt in the giddy burst of the moment to slumber over our gratitude to those who freed us ; such for a time seems to have been the case with the Americans ; but now, the presence of their, Liberator has revived every dormant recollection ; and it has accordingly burst forth with an energy exactly proportioned to its former torpor. • In the number of those Foreign POW ere who pre hen ed their congratulation s to BOLIVAR appears the name of England. Col. CAMPBELL, on the part of his Bri tannic MAJESTY, delivered an address to his Excel lency, which, both in style and sentiment, breathes the very language and the spirit of an enlarged but temperate lviabryering uncompromising liberty. sho e u d l l d roo b at e e ; ofthe " Rights of England, the trn- Man" throughout the world, hesitates not a n i ns t an t 'Phis is as it in encouraging those who through difficulty and. danger have run all lengths in asserting them. The reply of BouvA a was cordial, frank, and animated. He spoke with admiration of his MAJESTY, with en thusiasm of Mr. CANNING, and even through the guarded coldness with which a sense of diplomatic etiquette never fails to chill the reply of a Minister of State, we can perceive traces of strong feeling, which, though checked as they fell from his lips, gushed warm at least from the heart of the Liberator. It is to be hoped that his presence in a country on which he was the first to pour down the sun of freedom, may still keep that sun pure and unextinguished ; for some time past, indeed, it has been clouded—dissension has partially diminished its lustre—indifference clouded its warmth; —but the gloom is now rolling off its orb, and most sincerely do we hope that the whole vast Continent of the Southern America, from the sultry regions of the Orinoco to the frozen shores of Patagonia, may hence forth bask beneath its full, cloudless, and meridian splendour. The LORD CHANCELLOR has this day given judg ment in the important question respecting Mr. WEL LESLEY'S children, which has so much occupied his Lordship's time and the public attention. The Judg ment, which is given in another part of our Paper, goes to deprive Mr. WELLESLEY of the Guardianship and Protection of his Children.

The Calcutta John 8011, of the I 2th of August, mentions, that a report was in circulation, that the Burmese had objected to paying the second instalment, and that, in consequence, Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL had refused to permit the Burmese flag to be hoisted at Rangoon. The report, however, rested on very slen der authority. The accounts from Upper India are satisfactory. Native Pa pers mention, that RAJAH RUXJEET Stsoon, the Sikh Chief, had ordered two horses and other presents to be sent to Sir CHARLES METCALFE, our Political Agent at Delhi. A letter from Dom'. Jut.: SAL (the late usurper at Bhurtpoor) had also been forwarded to Sir CHARLIs t representing that he was in extreme poverty, and that he was obliged to send his son to Delhi, to ask support, we presume, from the Company's Government. A letter had also been received from MADHOO &Mal, of Deeg (brother to Doon- JUN SAL), who, after giving an account of his difficulties, also stated, that if ho was ordered, he would give np all other ex penses, and keep only one horse and a servant, for he was in no way connected with his brothers but with Government. Sir Cnantss MeTcamrz conaeled him, and said, there was no ne cessity for decreasing his establishment; and further, that the Bri tish power was not inclined to interfere with the Government of the Bhurtpore provinces. An English officer, Ensign Crriaturs Watonr, of the third regiment of Native Infantry, had been murdered within the °tide territory, while proceeding to join his regiment at Lucknow. At Bombay a strong sensation had been created by the refusal of Sir E. WEST, anti the other Judges of the Supreme Court there, to register the Ordinance, prepared by the Local Govern ment, for regulating the preen at that Presidency. Robberies had been of late most numerous in all parts of the island of Bombay, particularly in the native town, and among the houses of Europeans in the Persil and Mango,' roads. In the former, so much alarm had been excited, that Sepoys were hired by eren the middling class of natives, to guard th e i r pro perty and to prot ec t t h e i r f am ili es . The police had, it is said, ascertained the numbers; of the robbers to be very great, and to consist of all castes and classes. l One of the warehouses at the Powder Illanufaetory at Bom bay had been blown up, when seven prpe were kill e d b y th e explosion.
