The great interest and importance of Zna rge some of these documents has induced us. to devote a large space to the publication of part of them; viz.:— Ist, The instructions given to Mr. Gallatin, the American Minister to this country, dated the 10th of June last. 2d, Mr. Gallatin's note to Mr. Canning,- dated Aug. 26 ; and 3dly, Mr. Canning's reply, dated 11tCSeptember. It is almost - impossible, in the restricted space which we can now devote to observations on this highly import ant subject in our paper of to-day, to state distinctly the pretensions advanced. by the Minister of the United States on the one hand, and the arguments used in refutation of those pretensions by Mr. CANNING on the other. We must, therefore, refer our Readers to the Documents themselves,, and for the present content ourselves with remarking that the United . States, though admitting the general right of every country possessing Colonies to regulate the trade with those Colonies in such manner as. she may think fit, assumes in the discussion that the trade with the British West India Colonies is as open to the United St a t es as any ot h er trade in the world, with out considerin g whether some compensation might not be due to Great Britain for the concession of a privilege which it is her undoubted right to give or withhold. Mr. CANNING in his Note, Which, for soundness and perspicuity of reason ing, and for frankness of declaration, stands unrivalled in diplomatic correspondence, most fully refutes this as sumption, and puts the whole question upon • such plain and intelligible grounds, that it will be entirely impossible 'for the American Government to justify to the world, that interruption of the amicable relations between the two countries, of which she seems to contemplate the possibility, in consequence of this discussion. Mr. CAN NING's exposition of the 'considerations which led to the Act of 1825, is peculiarly simple and distinct. . Our right either to open the ports of our Colonies, or to keep them closed, as might suit our own • convenience; our fight to grant the indulgence of a trade with those Colonies to foreign powers, wholly or partially, unconditionally, or conditionally, as we might think proper, and if conditionally, on what conditions we pleased, was clear. We were not bound by any engagement to continue a monopoly of such indulgence to one foreign power against another. We had, for three years'felt the inconvenience of such monopoly. We naturally sought, therefore, in our new measure, to avoid the recurrence of the like inconvenience, by making our indulgence general to all nations; and, in - order to keep the regulation of that indulgence in oar own hands, we granted it by spontaneous legislation, and not by positive treaty. And the frankness with which Mr. CANNING makes the final avowal of the determination of the British Govern ment, not to remove the Interdict directed by his MA JESTY, is the happiest speciMen of a polite refusal of the claims of a Foreign Power which can he found in the archiVes of the Foreign Office. But the British Government further owes to the spirit of'frank ness which it wishes to cultivate in all its relations with the United States, to declare that, after having been compelled to apply to my country the interdict, prescribed by the Act of 1825, the British Government cannot hold itself hound to remove the interdict, as a matter of course, whenever it may happen to suit the convenience of the Foreign Government to reconsider the measures by which the application of that interdict was occa sioned. It is not made matter of complaint by the British Government, that the United States have declined conditions which other na tions have thought worthy of their acceptance. It is on the other hand, not the fault of the British Govern ment, if the United States have suffered the time to pass by, at which it might have been an object of greater importance to this country to induce the United States' to come into their proposals. The United States exercised, upon this point, a free judgment, and they can, on their . put, have no reason to complain that Great Britain, after allowing ample time for maturing that judg ment, is contented to abide the result of their decision. The position in which the United States have been placed in the discussion, by the irresistible arguments of Mr. CANNING, is so palpably wrong, that We cannot he)p entertaining a hope that the Congress will evince more good sense and temper in the consideration of the question than the general tone of that part of the PRE S IDENT'S Message, which related to this subject, seemed to indicate on his part. A Philadelphia Paper of the 12th ult. contains the fol !miring paragraph, copied from the Ivele York Advocate of the 11th, under the head of " Singular Report :" ‘4 We have been informed, that a courier from England lately passed through this city, to Washington, with dispatches from the British Cabinet, conveying intelligence that the present constitu tion of Spain was such, as to render it necessary for England to garrison the island of Cuba." In another column will be found the official note pre sented by the Marquis de PALMELLA to Mr. CANNING, formally demanding j in the name of her Highness the In fanta Regent of PORTUGAL, the support and aid of British troops, in virtue of the existing Treaties of alliance and guarantee, together with Mr. CANNING'S reply, deed the 11th inst. We have not time or space to enter into the considera ion of the arguments used by the Portuguese Govern lent, to prove that a casus ,fiEderis existed to justify he interferenc e of Great Britain. The force of the reasoning, however, was fully proved by Mr. CANNING'S reply, which simply enclosed the Message from his Mk. JESTY to both Houses of Parliament, signifying his inten tion, immediately, to furnish the required aid. There is something magnificently great in this laconic communica tion 'of fidelity of Great Britain to the treaties with which she is bound to support an ancient Ally. Frankfort Papers of the 3d instant, and the Nuremburg Correspondent of the 2d, have been received this morn ing. A report was prevalent in Germany, that two great European Powers had advised Don MiGuEL to repair to the Court of his brother in Brazil, in order the more effec tually to put an end to all the hopes of the Insurgents in their views on Portugal. LUOIEN BUONAPARTE has purchased one of the largest houses in flamburgh, where he means to settle with his family. FROM THE DANUBF DM 28 According to a r e p ort , w hi c h , i ndeed, much needs confirm . a tion, the Infant Don Miguel will shortly repair to the Court of his brother, the Emperor of Brazil. Two great European Powers, which are most immediately interested in the re-establishment of tranquillity and -order in the Peninsula, are stated to have proposed this voyage, probably considering it as the most proper means to put an end to the abuse which the Portuguese insurgents male of the name of his Royal Highness. The mast positive declaration which the Prince might make of his disapprobation of their cu l pa bl e un dertaking would but imperfectly attain the end in view, because the leaders of the rebels might still have the boldness to represent it to the multitude of those whom they have deluded, as an in voluntary act, or perhaps entirely to conceal it from them. O n the other hand the proposed voyage, as a fact, would afford the most irrefragable proof of the true and indubitable sentiments of the Prince, and thus deprive the rebels of every pretext for per sisting in their criminal enterprise. . It is not easy to account for the patience and forbearanc:. of Mr. Lamb, considering the menaces he has expressed. May we not, however, conjecture that the preparations for war which he witnesses, are probably the cause of his silence and prolonged de lay-in Spain. In fact, if Mr. Lamb had left Madrid, the Spanish troops would probably have entered Portugal, and so powerful a diversion in favour of, the Portuguese Royalists might have the meat prompt and serious results. It is not, therefore, impossible but that Mr. Lamb thought it his duty to temporise, in order to give the .English troops time to arrive at Lisbon. Should our suspicions be well-founded, we shall find this Ambassador throw off the mask as soon as lie hears for certain of the landing of the troops.—,Quotidienne.

The plot—feeble, we should. observe, and complicated)—is something to the foflowingeffect :—Old Revel (Mr. Farren), a wealthy Nabob, comes over to England for the purpose of redeeming' his son, young Revel (Mr. ;hones), from a course of extravagance in which, he is. told, be has indulged to a most ruinous extent. Aware that a sermon (and in this we agree with him), though edifying and moral in the extreme, is not likely to do much With a youth fresh from London hells and New market jockeying ; he resolves to attempt his reformation by proving to him practically the hazards of his present course. With this view, he takes, every opportunity of vying with him in profusion, excels him in his balls, his yachts, his stud, even in his amours (this last point we beg leave to daubt), and finally succeeds in ren dering him like novel heroes, at the end of the third volume, a very " respectable member of society." To this plot, ingeniously compounded of Theodore Hook's clever story of the "Man with many Friends" and Sheridan's "School for Scandal," a sort 'of under-story is added ; as this last is distressingly sentimental, and regards only the loves of two young country sweethearts—the one a Yorkshireman, with an " awfu" (to use a Scotch phrase) appetite and corduroy inexpresSibles, and the other . a pretty girl enough, with red arms and thick ankles, we forbear inflicting its details on our readers. Enough to , say that it is characterised by all Mr. Morton's usual defects in this style.--a style that has neither nature nor even elegance to recommend it ; but is just the sort of sentiment which a tippler displays after his tenth tumbler of Glasgow punch. Among the chief characters Messrs. Farren and Joues, as father and son, shine pre-eminent. The former, indeefil, is quite in his element throughout the piece, being crabbed ana touchy at times, with a dash of good nature in his composition, so that the melange is exceedingly whimsical, and what is better, true to nature. Sir Arthur Stanmore, a sentimental Baronet; uxoriously devoted to his wife, and whose principal charge again s t h er seems to cons i st i n t h e novel fact of " her ex cessive obedi ence !" was well represent e d by M r .

It would appear, President foyer had calculated on raising a Loan, and had never contemplated making the sum in question payable from the Treasury. Iu the mean time the state of tiade was bad; and the season sickly; but as very heavy rains bad fallen, it was hoped that the Island would soon become more healthy. Bermuda Papers have been received to the 25th Nov. inclusive, they notice the arrival of H. M. brig Jasper, Captain Blackwood, on the 4th Nov., in 28 days from Portsmouth, with specie to the amount of 50001., for the Commissariat. She has als.o on board 80,000!. for the Bermudas and Canada. Such is the general prevailing feeling of respect and attachment to the memory of the late Duke of YORK, that the most numerous solicitations are making by persons of superior rank to be permitted to attend the solemn cere mony of his interment, even in those stations which, upon ordinary occasions, are so subordinately filled. We are glad to perceive that Messrs. SHELL and O'Cox NELL appear heartily ashamed of themselves, and anxious to atone for their former scandalous language regarding his late Royal Highness the Duke of YORK. What infatua tion could have led them to use expressions so revolting to every good feeling of human nature, and so certain of injur ing the cause they profess to have at heart—it is difficult to conceive. Indeed it is not on one occasion only that we have observed with surprise the intemperate conduct of these unruly orators. We take it for grunted that impaSsiOned eloquence is not necessary to convince their audience, or to sectire their support,—for the audience must be as anxi ous on the subject as those who address them. And viewing their speeches as likely•to go forth to the world, and to that majority .of the -empire on whose verdict their fate must depend, •we must regard, almost in the light of treachery, language calculated to prejudice to the last degree the minds of th e i r P rotestant b ret h ren .— We do not blame them for being solicitous, nay, intensely solicitmis, for a restitution of their rights and privileges as British subjects; but we do blame them for supposing that there is no difficulty in the case, and that any one who sees danger in their admission to political power, must be every thing that is had, and deserving of all manner Otpu nishment. We know many persons having no sinister objects to answer, who would gladly see safety in Ca tholic Emancipation, but who find it impossible to bring their minds to that conviction. Let the Catholics recollect the lengthened struggle for ascendancy between the two religions, and let them also recollect what happened when they had the upper hand, God forbid that they should experience the treatment they bestowed, but the recollection of it should make them more temperate in their demands. And if they do not choose to be identified with their persecuting forefathers, let them shew by their conduct that the spirit of their religion is altered.. How far that is the case, as regards the Priesthood,—the head of their Church, and the Aposto lical Junta in Spain and . France, are at • present endeavouring to convince . the world. But though BONNER . and the fires of Smithfield do not haunt our imaginations (as is the case with :many most worthy but nervous persons), and though we con ceive the dominion of priestcraft impracticable in a free, rich, and enlightened population, like that of Great Britain, still we should be Sorry to see an unlimited number of Catholics admitted to political power.' From some of the most important offices in the Executive they are clearly shut ont by the spirit of the Constitution, as esta blished in 1688: for we should as soon think of having a Catholic King, as a. Catholic Chancellor dispensing' the patronage of the-Church of England. But, since a Catholic country, like Ireland, cannot be said to be represented at. all, except by members of their own body, (which, we conceive, to be the very essence of representation) it appears to us that the Representa tives for Ireland—but those Members only—should be relieved from the necessity of taking the test oath, by being included in the annual Indemnity Bill. By such an arrangement the House of Commons might pro bably contain 20 or 30 Catholic Members, but by no possibility more than one hundred ; and in case of this improbable, we may almost say impossible result, still the proportion of Protestant Members would be nearly 6 to 1. Should these 20 or 30 Members he an overmatch (proh pudor 1) for the other 600—at the termination of each year, the steps taken might be retraced, by not including Catholics in the next year's Indemnity and matters would be in state quo after having given them a fair trial, for it would ba impossible, even by a second expulsion, to exasperate them more than they are at present. A similar Indemnity Bill might be passed annually, foi Jle benefit of those Peers who are Catholics, without ex. :ending its benefits to future converts to that faith. To anticipate the objections to this scheme, would lead us beyond the limits of a Newspaper article, but we Rhall endeavour to meet them when offeled. We can at least say of them, without the fear of contradiction, that they are ideal, whilst the miseries of Ireland are real and existing. All Men of Christian feelings must wish to see some remedy speedily applied to such monstrous evils, and it appears to us that this is the point where conflicting ()pi nions must one day meet. We are confident that this measure, at the • enlightened period in which we live, would not, in the remotest degree, endanger our glorious Constitution; whilst; by (waging the cordial Co-operation of the Irish Aristocracy, it would at once raise Ireland from her present degraded state of misery and of crime, to that high place which nature seems to have destined her to fill, as an important-integral portion of the most powerfill, and in all other respects, the freest Empire in the world.

A LEADEN PROFESSOH.—The late Dean Milner, of Queen's College, was Plumfan Professor at'Cambridge. Some wag having written Plumbian Professor against the Dean's house, he complained of the circumstance to Porson, who promptly re plied, " I see, Doctor, that the b stings." Professor Hill, of the Edinburgh University, was a celebrated wit. Principal Robertson, the historian; once pro• posed, at the Senatus Acadenlicus, that the College-gate should be enlarged to admit the Professors' carriages.

This was the day the Lord Chancellor appointed to resume hiR, sittings. His Lordship appeared considerably recovered, aTi,l eat at a quarter to eleven o'clock. The lunatic and bankrupt lists were posted in the hall, and after a few preliminaries, the Court proceeded to hear the luna tic petitions. PRACTICE OF OPENING BANKRUPT COMMISSIONS. Mr. AIONTAGUE stated that a commission of bankrupt bad been taken out against one partner of a firm, another commission against the other partner, and a third, a joint commission, against both the parties ; all the three commissions had been di rected to the 13th list of commissioners, who doubted whether they ought to open the whole. The learned counsel submitted that they were bound to open all the Commissions. His LORDSHIP'S opinion was, that the Commissioner 04,kikito open them all, because it might turn o ut u p on the opening,'that some of them could not be supported. 'EX-PAItTE VAN IN THE MATTER OF ADAMS. His LORDSHIP stated when this lunatic petition was called on, that it was a matter in which lie had 'desired some information to be furnished to him, as to what was the motive that induced the presenting of the petition. He had not vet received that -is formation, but uuless he did, he should dismiss the petition with costs. A gentleman behind the bar appeared to oppose the petition.. No person appeared to support it, anti his Lordship dismissed it with costs. IN THE MATTER OF LORD PORTSMOUTH, A LUNATIC. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated, that- there were three peti :ions in this matter, and that the paramonnt question arising upon ;heir, would be how certain sums were N he raised for the pur )ose of paying off debts. - His LORDSHIP had read them all, and thought the better way would be, that they should stand for hearing on Saturday. 1N THE MATTER OF SIR GREGORY PAGE TURNER . Mr. PHILLIMORE said, there were two petitions in this matter at present to be brought to the notice of the Court—the one he was to open, and the other Mr. Treslove was to open. Mr. TicesLova did not know upon what authority 11Ir. PI more had allotted to him such an office ; for his owu_part, he had no instructions, nor did he appear. _ _ Mr. PHILLINIORE concluded Mr. Treslove would have appeared now, having done so on a former occasion. The first petition, how e,rer, was one that had been presented by Mr. Corbett, in the name of Sir Gregory Page Turner, charging the Committee with mis conduct, and on that ground praying for their removal. When .the matter came on in August last, a question arose whether Mr. Corbett was to pay the costs of certain of the petitions, and Iris Lordship laid down the rule, that with respect to such peti tions as Corbett had presented after•the confirmation of the lunacy by the verdict of the Jury, he should personally pay the costs of. The Traverse was heard on the 7th, and part of the Bth of July ; the present petition was present. ed on the Bth of that month, but it was not' served on the committees till the 13th; and the question now was, whether that petition came under the description of having been presented after the traverse. A Gentleman behind the Bar, applied for leave to answer the affidavits; he understood that Mr. Corbett could satisfactorily answer them, but that he had not yet had time. His LORDSfilr observed, that in . the case of a gentleanan, found to he a lunatic, both by an inquisition and a traverse, he should not object to any affidavits being brought before the Court, but he wished it to be understood,. that if strangers interfered, they did so at the hazard of paying the costs, the Court taking great, care to pay the utmost attention to what they did bring forward. His Lordship could, with great truth, state, that in this matter he had taken every pains that his mind could suggest, to be proper and humane, and that the result was, his perfect satisfaction with respect to what had been done. Time was granted to Mr. Corbett to answer the affidavits. SURREY SESSIONS.--.(THIS DAY) Before Mr. Settrygm,.Chairman, Mr. DENISON, Mr. PALLItta, Mr. Soatnx,-Sir THOS.

" That female prisoners in the Houses of .Correction in this County be exempted from - the labour of the tread-wheel." He deScribed the result of some. of his own observations relative to the punish ' meut of females by the tread-mill, both as to its phy sical and moral tendency. With regard to its physical effects on the constitutions of females, the fact of some countries 'having I only allowed them to work three weeks out of four would, per. 1 haps, be a sufficient proof, that relaxation was allowed from the knowledge of the different habits of women from the other sex. Mr. COURTNEY here interrupted Mr. Briscoe, and moved that the Cmart be cleared, as it would not be proper for• such discus s:ons to go forth to the public. No Magistrate, however, se conding the immaculacy of Mr. Courtney, Mr. Briscoe proceeded. He: should not utter a word which might not be listened te, by a court of women, or the wives of his brother Magistrates. • He was prepared :for interruption, for opposition', and fin' every other sort of defiance, that should be opposed to his public duty.. He then went into his reasons f or sup port .of the motion at too great length for our li mits. Several other Magistrates spoke on this important ques tion, hut for want of room we must defer a full report till to -mot , ow. COliN-EXCHANGE.—(Ttits DAY.)
