the horrors of a civil war. But, in times when a liberal spirit is abroad, and u hen that liberal Spirit leads to the admiration of Republics and the consequent depreciation of Monarchical Go ver►►r;►ents, this dispute may be used as a fit illus tration Of the capabilities of Federal Republics to direct the affairs of a powerful nation, to . enforce authority at home, and cause themselves to be respected abroad. WV►, think we can see in this dispute a constitutional weakness in herent in the form of Government, and which lays the Federation open to such attacks as the present, attacks which might have been foreseen, and which naturally result from the increasing wealth and prosperity Of a pas .iculur State. A love of power is natural to man, and that lone is by no means weakened by the union of tunny to gether, it s i ts uppermost in their minds, and they await only the means to maintain themselves ere they declare themselves independent of the State Leona which their P r "Perity is derived. It is this feeling which effected the en f ranc hi sement o f Coloni es from the Mother Country, an d it i s this f " li ng which Ir . e will ultimately be fatal to the Union of the Northdti American States: Monarchies, Co nstitutional Monarchies, such iuterent weakness exists not ; and if the ma' stistery is more expensive, it is the price paid for additional security, not only from external ft ", but internal dissentious, 'rho whole force sad energy of the country is wielded by one ; directed by one, and it thus becomes uniform and scenitact. In Federal Republics, on the con . teary, tho force and energy of the station is divided amongst the States of which the Went -0041 is composed, and is therefore proportionabl dimioish e d. y C , . oLomatAN PRI `, ATElCll3.—Selfer a i instances itaqe occurred in the course of the year, in which the privateers le Coombia, un pretext of attacking the commerce of Spain, have un dert trages on the trade of neutrals. A well authenticated case of this kind took place with regard to a ship tailed the John and Anne, of London. It was captured by the O ars, 1 Colombian schooner, when about to enter the Ha , vannah on the lath of January. The ship was of British regis titr. the seamen were British, and they sailed under the British . The commander of the privateer, upon coming up with the • iro/ta and Anne, ordered her Captain to surrender his register, hia manifest, and letters. lie then commanded him to leave 14 4 *hip, and go on board the schooner. Having seized the letters, be informed them that the vessel was lawful prize; and bhuk, substituting some men of the privateer for seven sailors of the JAN and Anne, who were taken prisoners, the Captain of &informer ordered the latter to sail for Carthagena. The cargo , of the Jolla and Anne was there condemned as lawful prize, en the mound of being Spanish property, after proceedings whisk lasted from the 7th February to the 7th March. During ati this time the Captain, assisted by the British Consul, protest ed agaimit this violation of internationallitw. When the sentence irsaysaaed on the 9th of March, the Captain was asked to declare, ty signing it, that the cargo was Spanish. This he refused to 40. . bribe of 2,000 dollars was tenderedt for his compliance. Thbi. like Wise, he rejectedetherhis remonstrances, nor %is esuraKeous 'honesty, could save the property of his etn lolayers. The cargo tvu condemned, and sold by auction as I.lPlusiali, while the ship was given up at being British. Re- Quilt, we understand, has been already demamied, and we have ao (loot will be granted for this outrage ; otherwise the con ' Abssiott of treaties of commerce with the new. States, and the ap gointutent of British missions to maintain amicable relations t ' It them, would only provoke insult and lead to spoliation. • Is would be absurd to allow the principle on which this con_ llernnation proceeded—namely, that property consigned to a atpanish house, or on the point of entering a Spanish port, was lawful prize, as being necessarily Spanish property. The Arendt and North Americans have demanded and obtained %dress is similar cases to the one above stated.—( Tinier. 1 liat _ imaAt. o TA.—lt is very Ceti.currently report e d t h at Wof)Foal) is to succeed the Marquis of UABTINC;S iti this Government.

If A TM Last night the Comedy of l'itc Hypocrite was represented at this Theatre, with aOlllO variation in the performance, as the part of Doctor Galan:ell was assigned to Mr. W. FA It- It EN, vice Mr. DoWTos, whose excellence in re presenting it was universally admitted and ad mired. WilEther the change was in consequence of the illness of Mr. Do WTO or the termination of his eogagement at this Theatre, we know not, but we shall not follow the example of solve of the 'Morning Critics in drawing a comparison tie tcceen the two performers. The outline of the character it is impossible to mistake, and Mr. FAancs gave a specious colouring of smooth dissimulation covering artifice, fraud, and licentious desire. In the last scene after detection he displayed the shameless audacity, anti the rage of disappointment in a manner cre ditable to his judgap-nt, if not so terribly im pressive as it has been rendered. Upon the whole he was very well received, and, with the powerful support of LtsTos in illabrzcorm, and the respectable representation of the other characters by Mrs. DAvisos, Mrs. GLOVER, YOUNGEH, and Vii NG, the comedy was warmly applauded.-- Mr. HAttLEY was to have appeared lust night iii the Farce of Intrigue, nod that of 'Mould Puzzle a Conjuror, but was prevented, as stated, by " a domestic calamity." All who know the private character of Mr. liAnr.cy, - ,must re gret the occasion, as lie is as deservedly esteemed for his personal merit as he is admired for his professional talents. The two characters whicls he was to have performed were allotted to Mr. W. \Vivi., who is a clever young man, and a riving favourite with the Public. We are glad to see that Midas, the best. burletta in the whole British Drama, is announced for revival to night, and, from what we have heard, is likely to be brought forward with great eclat in point of music, scenery, stud theatrical arrangement. TISZARTS.—An interesting lithographic Print has been made by Mr. Ilum.stAsoeu, from a Drawing by Mr. l'Autty . , (well known as an Artist), from the Cu P formed of part of the Mul berry Tree, which probable Tradition states as having been actually planted by the greatest Dramatic Poet that ever lived, and presented to the greatest Actor, perhaps, that ever graced the stage. The following is the inscription on the Print The above is a correct Drawing of the original Goblet carved from SuktseeLttE's Mul berry Tree. which was presented to Davin GA R RICK, Esq. by the Mayor and Corporation of Stratford-upon-Avon, at the Jubilee held in the year 1769 ; and after the death of his widow, was (by a decree of Chancery) sold at Mr. CHRISTI E's auction-room, King-street, St. James's, o'i the sth of May, 18/5, and pur chased by Mr. J. Jonmsox of Southampton street, Covent-garden, who caused this print to be made, to perpetuate the above circumstance." -,-The motive which occasioned this print is hon. curable to the taste of the purchaser, and the Artists who made the drawing and the print have done full justice to the subject. The goblet itself is elegantly formed and decorated. The history connected with it, and the great - Actor to whom it was given, render it an article of national va lue, which if not deposited in the British Museum, its most proper situation, should at least be pur chased by the Theatrical Fund of Drury-Lane Theatre, in honour of our immortal Bard, and of the most perfect representative of his characters. We suggest to the present Possessor the propriety of having, as a companion Print, a representa tion of the house in which GARRICK so long resided in Southampton-street. It would also be an appropriate companion to that of the house ' in which SHAKESPEARE resided at Stratford upoa-Avon. GARRICK'S house is now the hotel opposite to Tavistock-street, and a print of it should be made before the rage for building has removed every vestige of a mansion rendered venerable as the residence of a man justly esteem ed for intellectual and moral excellence, and universally admired for unrivalled genius in I►is Art. ORDERI."—A French Author, who had pro duced a very doubtful production, was very liberal in the dis tribution of orders on the first night of it: performance. The piece was, however, so bad, that all his hired friends deserted him, exoept one, who, faithful to I is promise, and yet open to conviction, was reduced at last to hiss and cheer at the same time." "Is it possible," said a spectator, " that you et a ap prove and disapprove at the same time ?" " No, no," said he, " that is not the case: I know this play is the most exe crable thing that ever was performed, but •I came in with an order, and have a regard for the author ; and so that I may neither wrong him nor my own judgment, I have abused the piece out of justice to myself until I am hoarse, and I have clapped it to oblige bins until my hands are sore."—( Percy Anecdote: of the Stage.) THEATRICALS IN INDIA.—Mrs. CARGILL, on actress of some eminence for her vocal talents, went to India in 1782; she was remarkably sucees4ul, not only in her own line, but also in tragedy. Her benefit at Bengal amounted to the astonishing sum of 1,5001. sterling. On her return home in 1784 she was unfortunately lost with several other passengers on board the Nancy packet, and was found on the rocks of Scilly, floating with an infant clasped fast in her arms.—( Percy Anecdote:.) Whatever improvement may have been effected by Acts of Parliament, or by an extension and increased vigil ance of the police of the Metropolis, in the morals of people, we cannot say that much of it is to be witnessed on the river Thames, or its banks ; for we believe never at any period within our memory have the exhibitions ' so revolting to d e licacy, of men bathing within the publi c view, been so frequent as at present. Scarcely an evening passes that boat-loads of naked men are not to be seen jumping in and out of the river immediately in front of the Temple-gardens, where hundreds of females are walking to enjoy the cool of the evening, many accompa nied by their male friends and relatives, to whom the sight must be no less painful under such circumstances. On Thurs day evening, between seven and eight o'clock, we saw no less than tour boats come from the Surrey side of the river, just in front of the gardens, with three bathers in each, who delibe rately undressed themselves in the boats, and plunged several times into the water, and on each time of regaining the boats, stood for some time in a state of nudity, as if triumphing in the indecency of their conduct: and yet all this takes place under the nose of the Thames Police Establishment's vessel, which is moored off the Surrey stairs. Would it not be well to make some rule of law to punish watermen who suffered such practices to take place in their boats ?—( Times.) A WATER PARTY, Ott A DUCKING EXTRAOR- In NARY.—Some few weeks since, the wife of an inhabitant, of St. Ives eloped with one of her husband's journeymen, to Lon don, bearing with them whatever of plate or ready rhino could be found. These being spent, and their fancies left without finances, it behoved them to return to the good old town, when a party of virtuous duckers hearing of it, instinctively sallied forth to meet and greet the wanton pair; and while she, rescued by the police, escaped to the open arms and sanctuary of her husband, th e gay Lothario was seiz e d an d we l l soused into a horse-pond, from which he emerged in a precious pickle, to be no more seen or heard of at St. Ives. „- to.-;-": 1 ,0.4 - •;_‘•- , ~.-. 2I I. , - - ... • p-, ~L ( 7- OY7 . ::4-4 C.',..,.;- •) ~..., . ~, -, ~ ~ , ;.,. ; =\ '1 . i ~..`;:',A,''.• ..Q.A., y • ;, 7 , 4'.- ) ( - ;' , 4•', : : :: . .i , 7'4,,,t. ..,..„KY, ,. .. —:;...r."1....", ) .4.....-r •:-!_,,5-'erii..t.t.....t.;;A4- ~. ~,,;-., •,::••,. ~--,-A._x,”: !IFt,, e , 'n'. cl:5 -": TA, -....,0,14.,"''' c ' V. 7.4 1. -.. .i .- 7, ,;,.

Maynard - Pink - _Lambeth G. Jones • - Purple . Bankside. The Men were to start from Westminster Bridge, and pull with the tide through the centre arch of Putney Bridge. The weather being delightful, the lovers of riv e r s po r t ma d e a goo d muster—we have seldom seen more boats collected upon a si milar occasion. As the watermen were all good , owers, a fine display was expected, and bets to a considerable amount were made on the winner. Westwood, who has won several boats and established his name, was the favourite. Castles is a power ful man, formed for gymnastics, and many supposed his strength would give him advantage over the others. :llaynard also was one upon whom great reliance was placed. The Gentle men who gave the Prize, dashed about in their eight-o a r e d cutter, and the scene of boats passing and repassing in rapid succession was interesting. At half-past five o'clazk, the men started, and running with the tide in shore on the Westminster side, found themselves close together; some confusion ensued, but getting clear, they darted, swi ft as arrows, along Millbank. Westwood took the lead some distance; at Vauxhall, Jones went first through the Bridge, followed by Maynard and Castles. The race then became admirable, and, after a most arduous and active contest, the prize was gained by George Maynard of Lambeth. He was followed by Jones, Westwood, and Castles.

On Thursday last, the Bowmen of Walton-le-Dale held their first meeting this season, to shoot for the several prizes presented to them by the respective Lady Patronesses, in the years 1821, 1822, and 1823.

MURDER A FEMALE. —This morning a Chelsea pensioner, named James Gurey,-was brought before the Magistrates of Queen-square Office, charged with having made a most desperate attack on the .life 'of a woman named Elizabeth Simmonds, whose death is hourly expected. It appears that the igot-- tunate woman, who lives near the Duke of York's School at Chelsea, had for some time lived on terms of intimacy with the prisoner, and latterly she provided his meals for him. Yesterday afternoon he went home, at the hour he usually dined, and dinner not being quite ready, he, without saying a word, attacked the poor woman in the most savage man ner; he first struck her head so violently against the post . of the bedstead as to cause her to bleed from her mouth and nostrils, and whilst in this wretched state the ruffian caught her by the legs and dashed her head, with all his might, against the ground, and left her lying on the floor for dead. Some neighbours hearing the groans of his victim, went into the room and found her in the state above described, and weltering in her blood. A surgeon was instantly called in, and the injured woman was put to bed, and proper applications used to her wounds, at from the medical gentlemans' certifi cate it seems that she is in a most dangerous situa tion, and tier removal at present would be highly dangerous. The prisoner, who seemed quite unmoved at the crime alleged against him, said nothing in his own defence, and he was remanded till the fate of the unfortunate woman is known. MEILCANTILZ SHIPPING.

Bow-STREET.--Yesterday Mr. Gilbert, an auctioneer N A dealer in pictures, appeared upon a summons before Tuostss liaLna, Esq., to shew cause why he detained a quantity e.; - 7 jewels, the property of Lady Briscoe, from the lawtul owt.er. The application for the summons was wade some days aw , under these circumstances : —Sir John Winnington, whose name has been so often before the public as connected with pro reeding s in the Courts in Doctors' Commons, being arrested for debts to a considerable amount, applied to Mr. Gilbert to become his bail. Mr. Gilbert refused to comply with this re quest, unless be had some collateral security beyond the wool of Sir .John Whittington ; and the latter prevailed upon Lady Briscoe to lend hint her jewels, which he deposited with Mr. Gilbert as a security to him against the possibi,ity of loos. is due time Sir John \Vinnington not being able to pay the debts' for which he was arrested, surrendered to the Marshal of tltd King's Bench prison, and of course all liability on the part of Mr. Gilbert, as his bail, ceased. Lady Briscoe then de manded the restitution of her jewels, but Mr. Gilbert stated, in answer to that demand, that he had sold pictures to Sir- J. and had paid law expences connected with his arrest, to the amount together of 451., and until that sum was paid, he should not think of giving up the jewels. The demand being repeated several times, but without producing compliance from Mr. Gilbert, Lady Briscoe applied at tots office for a proceeding to issue under Sir Thomas Plumer's Act, averring that Mr. Gilbert had appropriated the jewels) to other than the special purpose for which they were placed his hands. 3lr. HALLS said he very much doubted if he had jurisdiction in the matter, but he would send a summons for the appearatwl of Mr. Gilbert, and perhaps, if it turned cut as he suspected 4 would, that he had no power to interfere under the Act of Par liament, some anal:gement might be come to between gar parties._ Mr. Gilbert appeared yester.lay, accompanied by Mr. Butler, clerk to Mr. Harmer, who stated that insinuations had been conveyed by letter and otherwise, that the jewels bad beets pawned by the defendant, but the fact was, that that gentleman, for their better security, had placed them at his banker's; and when the insinuations alluded to were thrown out, he took then from his banker's, to show them to the parties, in order to con vince them that they were not pawned. All doubt upon that subject being now removed, Mr. 6i1b.11 had only to state, that so s:ion as his claim upon Sir Join Wilmington, which was a just and honourable one, was liquidattd, the jewels should be given up, but certainly not before, and he was ready to conteat the point in the prorer Court. Mr. IlAt.r.s said the case had turned out exactly as he ex. pected. He had no jurisdiction, and the parties must be left to their remedy at civil law.' Lady Briscoe's solicitor said he was perfectly-satisfied wick, the investigation ; and now that the Magistrate had deterrOined that he had no jurisdiction, he should know what course to pur sue. Here the matter ended for - the present, and the parties left the Office. Mart Lnottoncit-SnizET.—Tlicmtar Gurley, a lad about 18 years of age, the driver of at cart, No. 137,282, belonging to Evan Boulter, of George-yard, Grosvenor-square, appeared yesterday at this office, accompanied by his master, before Sir GEORGE FARRANT, the sitting Magistrate, upon a stamtnonea to answer the- complaint of It. Martin, Esq:; M. P., wlw - charged him under the Act of Parliament which bears this gentleman's own name, with cruelly beating and ill-treatitig, a donky. Sir GEORGE FARAANT, after hearing evidence, said,' thht there could he no doubt but the case ir3. mufficiently made -ow, under the Act, and the defendant vas liable to a fine of 61 , and to three months' impritonmcnt in the House rf eirrection, if not paid. I.lr. Boulter said, that the poor lad (who now began to cry) had not a shilling in the world, and he must go to prison, for he, Mr. Boulter, could not pay such a sum for him. Sir G. FARRANT said, that what he had named was the extent of the penalty, but he did not mean to inflict that : he should reduce it to 10s., which was the lowest sum fhb Act allowed. Mr. Boulter said, he could not with any convenience even pay this sum. The defendant was then committekto the House of Correction for 14 days. Two men, named James Chadwick and John Bailey, in the employment of Messrs. Brooks and Gilbert, house-agents in Bond-street, were brought up under a warrant, charged with the following unmanly assault:— Mrs. Chapman, an elderly respectable female, well known as having kept for many years an extensive and fashionable fruit and confectionery shop in Old Bond -street, stated, that she had been for some weeks past in care of the house No. 40, Clarges-street, Piccadilly, in which she was placed by a gensle tleruan named Frere, to whom it belongs, but between whan and Messrs. Brooks and Gilbert, the house-agents, some die pute existed, of the merits of which she knew nothing. respett ing some claim on the part of the latter to possession. On Thursday night, as she was alone in the house, and preparing to go to bed, a knock came to the street door, whied she open ed, and instantly rushed in the two defendants and Mr. Gilbert, who proceeded 'up stairs, locked every drawer, press, and room, in the house, forced her down into the kitchen, where they told her she might remain, if she determined to stay in the house ; but that while she did so she should have neither a bed Mlle on, nor a morsel to eat—no, not even so meth as a glaswof posse, so that she had better turn out at once. This she refused being in charge of a gentleman's house ; and she attempteil to go up stairs to ger to her bed-room ; but every step she made, up stairs, each of the three would, in turn, push her back' with violence, telling her that she should have no bed, but that stle might sit in the kitchen, or in the parlour if she liked bettei, all night, where a bed was prepared for Mr. Gilbert to sleep in, so that she was obliged to quit the house, to inform Ms. Frere of what had taken place. She knew all the defendnote :very well by sight, having often seen therzywhen she lived in Bond.street. -; The defendants were about to enter into a history of she disputed possession, but the Magistrate said, that, however this might be settled in the end, there was no justification for the treatment of 'Mrs. Chapman, and assaulting her in such a manner; anti they must find bail to answer the charge at dr Sessions. They were locked up for want of bail. Mr. - Gilbert ,was included in the warrant, but Clements, the officer, could not find him. His partner, Mr. Brooks, how ever, came to office, and engaged for his appearance the next day. It was also agreed on the part of Mr. Brooks, that; MS. Chapman should be permitted to take away her own and l'4r husband's wearing apparel without molestation. Mr. Frere was in attendance during the examination, 'art expressed his determination to proceed against the parties who forced possession. - ManYLEnorm-Orrics.— Yesterday Thomas Aldridge and George Tell, the eldest not more than 14 years of age, were brought up on a charge of having enticed Joseph Rolph:, a boy about 9 years of age, to rob his mother, a poor woman re siding at No. 7, Wellington-street, Paddington. It appeared from the statement of the mother, that on Wed nesday night last she missed her son from home, and made the most anxious inquiries after him until the following day, when he was found in the company of the prisoners, by a per son who was aware of the absence of her soa, and brought him home. On questioning him, he confessed having stoke the money which she kept in a box, concealed in the coy - board, on going to which she found the money was gone. He said that when he was walking through the street, he met with the prisoners and another boy, who entered into con versation, and asked questions about his mother's money, and on telling them that she had 41. and, upwards, they advised him to go and steal it, which he did, and brought to them.— They immediately went and purchased, a donky, for 11. Ss., which they led, together with himself, to a house in St. Giles's, which he could point out, but not the name of the street. Gibbs sald.he knew one of the prisoners as a bad boy. The mother suggested to Mr. II OSKI xs the necessity of find ing out the house to which her son had been inveigled, as there was little doubt but such delinquents were encouraged by the owners. The Magistrate ordered Gibbs to take the boy to St. Wats, to point out the house, and to bring forwsrd the owner.
