"W° sincerely wish that those hopes may be realized, but we think it right to state that accounts have reached us this day of quite a different corn- Plexion, from equal good authority, which strongly confirm the probabilities of war ; and though the Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday Contain nothing decisive respecting the question of peace or war, yet the accounts they bring are generally of a warlike character. CANADA.—We have received the Quebec Ga zettes to the 14th of March, from which we shall, in a few days, give several txtracts. New York Papers arrived this morning to the 26th March. COLOMBIAN REPUBLIC.—( From a New York Paper of March 22.)--We have now to .add intelligence which shews the Colombian Government to be actuated by a correct sense of justice, and a liberal feeeling deserving general praise. A de cree has been issued, ordering the foreign officers in the service of the Republic their back pay, with other allowances. This will give to each of the Irish Officers under General DEVE nErx, and those who went out under the late General ENG '. Isil, a very handsome sum. To a Lieutenant-Colonel 15,000 dollars, and to other ranks in proportion. Several of them have taken estates in Carraccas in lieu of some part of the pecuniary rewards coming to, them, and have actually at the present mo ment coffee plantations in full work in the neighbourhood of the city. An expedition was fitting out to blockade Porto Ca vallo by sea, and the arrival of Commodore DANIELS was im patiently looked for to take the command. The last accounts left General DEVEREUX at Truxillo, on his way to join the President. _ _ BOSTON, MARCH I.—GITADALOUPE AND MARTINIQUE. —The planters of Guadeloupe and Martinique are said to have petitioned the French Government that those islands may be Tendered for all kind of American produce,. and it has been stated that accounts from France were favourable' to the hopes of the petitioners. If the petition is granted, American vessels may take cargoes of cotton to the islands, and the French ships will carry them to France. IRELAND.—The insurrectionary spirit, from the decrease of outrages, seems to be subsiding in the Counties of Cork and Limerick. The Counties of Kilkenny and Tipperary are, how ever still much disturbed. The Opposition Prints, as might be expected, exult in the triumph of Mr. WArrtimAN over 'John Bull, and inveigh bitterly against that 'Paper on the score of gross personality; but such censure can have little effect upon the public, as it is obvious that those Opposition Prints have for a long period far exceeded in rancour any thing that John. Bull has ever said. There is this difference in favour of John Bull, that he ]►as directed' his censure against the enemies of the State ; but the Prints in question have been still more scurrilous against the friends of the Constitution, and, with very few ex ceptions, have obviously endeavoured to bring about a Revolution upon French principles, and to destroy that Constitution which has so long rendered us the most free and happy people on earth. Personal abuse is certainly degrading to that inestimable organ of knowledge and free dom a Public Press ; but when any individuals, whether high or low, attempt to disturb the na tional tranquillity, and overthrow a Government established by the wisdom and virtue of our an cestors, and sanctioned by the experience of ages, such individuals are fair game, and if they are too subtle for the law to reach them, they should be brought to the Bar of Public Opinion, and held out to the contempt and ridicule of their 'countrymen and mankind. On Saturday, a Meeting of the Freeholders and Inhabitants of the County of Bedford was held in the Town Hall, Bedford, in pursuance of a requisition presented to the Sheriff by the Duke of BEDFORD, Mr. C. F. PALMER, M. P., Mr. W. H. WHITBREAD, M. P., Mr. S. C. WHIT BREAD, M.P., &c. &c.—At this Meeting, which was held for the purpose of petitionieg for a Re form of Parliament, we are surprised and grieved to find that the Marchioness of TAVISTOCK, Lady MADELINA PALMER, and several other Ladies were present. The attendance of females at Political Meetings; in the present times, ori ginated, we believe, with the class of Reformers amongst whom such personages as Orator Hos; Dr. WATSON, CARLILE, and the inferior agents cf disaffection, down to little WADDINGTON, very naturally took the lead in their public proceed ings ; and the females who graced their proces sions and assemblages, or occasionally adorned their oratory with the tropes and figures of most significant use in the regions'of Billingsgate and St. Giles's, performed at least one service to the cause of good government and order, however unintentionally, by the additional ridicule which their exhibition entailed upon the proceedings of those motley multitudes who exclusively arro gated to themselves the name, and pompously characterised the expression of their august will, as the voice, . of the People! The illustrious example which was thus set by the ladies of Spafields and Smithfield, and by the heroines who figured at Manchester and Nottingham, and the other hot-beds of disaffection, in which the demoralizing tendency of manufactures had so far deteriorated the character of English women as to fit them for the degrading exhibition of their persons upon hustings and carriages, tricked out in tawdry decorations, and surrounded by the caps of liberty, the flags and banners and ensigns of sedition,—bas already, it ap pears, proved so captivating to some of the ladies of Bedfordshire, that, though they are not yet, we hope, prepared to engage actively in the war fare which is waged against the existing usages of the State and practice of the Constitution, they have made their first appearance on the stage of party strife and political contention. It is an evil omen for a country, not exposed to the last perils of a foreign invasion, when its women, for getful of that retiring modesty which constitutes the charm. and safeguard of domestic life, expose themselves to the broils of factious meetings, and court the licentious gaze and rude applauses of political. partizans. In the state of female so ciety in France, no one is surprised when the market-women of Paris make public demonstra tions of their political sentiments ; but we hope that the ladies of England will be preserved from the contamination of principles which substitute the bold demeanour that is requisite to sustain them at popular assemblages, for those finer feel ings which, while they qualify them to grace the circles of private life, necessarily shrink from the tumultuous rudeness of reform meetings.—At the Bedford Meeting, the hacknied topic of Reform was treated in the usual manner, and supported with the usual arguments. The principal speakers were the Duke of BEDFORD, Mr. W. H. WHITBREAD, Mr. C. F. PALMER, and the Marquis of TAVISTOCK. The Resolutions pro posed were carried, and a Petition agreed to. JEREMIAH TYALOR , • ESQ —On Saturday this Gentleman died in Staple Inn, after suffering severely under a lingering illness, which he bore with exemplary firmness and patience. He was the son of the late Mr. TAYLOR, of Hat ton-garden, who for many years was the most eminent. Oculist of his time, and the grandson of the celebrated Chevalier TAY- L OR, whose superior skill in the profession was well-known to all Europe. Mr. JER. TAYLOR, as well as his only surviving Brother, JOHN, were Oculists to his MAJESTY, and practised in conjunction for many years in the same place, but the latter long since resigned the profession wholly to the former. The Gentleman who has just departed this life was a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of London, and M.D. of the Medi cal College at Basle, in Switzerland. He was able as a Sur geon, and intelligent as a Physician ; nor is it any disparage- • ment of the talents of those gentlemen who at present direct their attention to the diseases of the Eye to say, that natural sagacity, early instruction, attachment to that branch of surgery to which he peculiarly devoted himself, and long practice, had rendered him the most skilful and experienced Oculist of his day. However, duly estimating the transitory and precarious tenure of human life, he never came ostentatiously forward, but contented himself with such sdccess, arising from private reputation, as enabled him to blend amusement and study with the pursuit of a profession which he justly considered as important to mankind. He was ever ready to assist the poor with his professional advice and as sistance. In his private character he possessed scientific and ge neral knowledge, extraordinary powers of conversation, always enlivened by prompt wit and humour, and enriched with a store of anecdotes which he related with admirable effect. The public, we may confidently say, has suffered a great loss in the death of so useful a member of society, and a numerous body of friends will cherish the memory of a pleasant and intelligent companion, and a truly benevolent and valuable man. He was attended uring his illness by Drs. GEORGE PEARSON and MASON Goon, and Mr. MORLEY, the surgeon ' • but he was so thoroughly conversant with the nature and tendency of diseases, that from the first attack of his own he predicted a fatal termination, and encountered it with fortitude and resigna tion. LOSS OF THE BLENDON HALL. [Further Particulars.] PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 20.—Last night the lion. East India Company's ships Bombay, Captain Stanton (late Graham, who died at MaCao), and Royal George, Captain Timms, passed by for the River, from China; they sailed in December last. The Company's ship Minerva was left at the Cape of Good Hope; the Hythe and Inglis had left St. Helena for London ; and the Thalia whaler was spoken with in the Chan nel. The above ships brought home Capt. Greig, and part of the crew of the late ship Blendon Hall, which ship sailed from Gravesend on the 7th of May, and was unfortunately lost on the Inaccessible Island, 15 miles from Tristan da Cunha, on the-23d of July last. It appears the weather had been very thick ; on the 22d they had an observation, and found them selves near these „Islands, of which they wished to get a sight, in order to correct their reckoning. Consequently every look out was kept for sea weed, which is known to be an indi cation of nearing -them ; an altitude was taken of the sun at eight in the morning of the 23d, and about ten, every body being on deck, sea weed was discovered, and it was soon found that the ship was surrounded by. it ; the helm was put down, but, by reason of light winds and a heavy swell the ship did not come round. Breakers were now heard a-head ; the jolly-boat was lowered down with a tow-line, but with no effect, the wind having quite subsided, and the swell driving the ship on the rocks. An anchor was let go, but the extreme depth of water did not allow it to take hold the cutter was then lowered down to assist the jolly-boat in towing the ship's head round, when she struck. The weather was now so thick, from a mist or cloud, that the two boats could not be seen though close alongside; nor could the land be disco vered. The masts were then cut away ; the fog blowing off, ter rific cliffs were discerned over their heads, at about half-a-cable's length, and the sea began to make a clear breach over the ship. The two boats now landed about two hundred yards off; and while those on board were endeavouring to throw overboard the long-boat, the ship filled and went to pieces. The crew clung to the forecastle, some of the beams of which held fast to the rocks -; and, on a hastily-made raft eight men got on shore, and' - one was drowned. A rope was now flung from the shore to the remainder, and" about 1 p. m. all were landed, without the least water, or a morsel of provisions— Water was, however, found ; and provisions were supplied by knocking down the penguins and other birds' eggs, and those of sea elephants and seals. Tents were erected with some of the coarse cloth and sails that were washed bn shore ; but it was four days before they could make a fire, in which they at last succeeded by means of a rocket which was washed on shore. On the 19th October, a boat was built, in which eight of the crew endeavoured to make Tristan da Cunha ; but they have not since been heard of. On the Bth of November a se cond boat was made, and ten of the crew succeeded in getting to that island ; and, with the assistance of two whale boats., the whole of the unfortunates were transported from their desolate situation by the 9th of January following, having been without bread for nearly six months. The brig Narina, of London, Lackland, Master, kindly took the crew and passengers thence to the Cape of Good Hope, consisting of four ladies, three children,, and twenty passengers, and eleven seamen. Two seamen were drowned in the shipwreck, and eight are missing in the first boat that was built.—Though this island is within sight of Tristan da Cunli, and every signal was - made by means of fires, smoke, and flags, yet no assistance was rendered them until their second boat made known their 'situation. This island is about nine miles round, is well wooded, and remarkably high, so much so, that it is a day's work to attain the summit, but it is con stantly enveloped in clouds, and visited with squalls; has no harbour or cove, and can only be landed on to leeward : heavy swell constantly prevails, which prevented these sufferers from obtaining fish as a change in their diet. The unfortunate ship was 400 tons burden, and had 52 persons on board, mostly passengers, bound to - Bombay.—( Hampshire Telegraph.) On Saturday the Duke of YORK transacted military business with the KING. Yesterday the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Loan CHAMBERLAIN, and Count MUNSTER, had au dience of his MAJESTY. KING'S TIIEATRE.7--La Gazza Ladra was the attraction on ..Saturday at this Theatre, and Madame VEsTius returned to it in the part of Pippo. ,She is never wanting in spirit, but her voice is certainly not of that high order which is expected from the chief vocal performers it this place. Cendrillon was the concluding ballet, but it entrenched rather too much upon the time of Episcopal - permission.—The Theatre was crowded in all riarts, and there was a proud dis= play of beauty and fashion. On Thursday., a Committee of the Loras of the Privy Council assembled at the Cockpit at Whitehall, to hear Plantation Appeals, Which was attended by . the MASTER of the Row, Lord STOWELL, Earl COUILTOWN, Mr. BECKET, Mr. FREMANTLE, &C. We understand that the East Lothian Bank has stopped payment, and being a Scotch Bank, seems to bear upon the question now agitated as to the expediency of introducing Joint Stock Banks on the Scotch principle into this county, and into the kingdom at large. The failure in question (says a Cor respondent) it is clear, must have one of two effects—it must either suppert the principle laid down by the resolution of the meeting which took place at the County Court House on Wednesday last; or be opposed to it, and that will simply depend upon the fact, whether it was a Joint Stock Bank, or not. It is said that it is not a Joint Stock Bank, and that it has failed in consequence of the partners being agriculturists, and having drawn out the capital of the Bank and lost it in agricultural speculations. That is properly a Joint Stock Bank, where a stock or capital is subscribed and dedicated to meet the exigencies and maintain the credit of the establishment ;—a private Bank is, where a few persons join their united credits, and set up a ank with out a known capital. In the first case, in consequence of the Bank being managed by a Court of Directors, publicly chosen, who have no power to apply its capital, or the sums deposited with it, to any but their legitimate use, no misapplication of its funds can take place. In the latter case, by an understanding amongst themselves, they can without any fraud (speaking le gally) apply or rather misapply the funds of the Bank in any way they may think proper. We are disposed to think it pro bable, adds our Correspondent, that the failure of the East Lothian Bank, though a Scotch Bank, will prove an exception that will establish the rule.—( Durham Advertizer, April 19.)

BRITISH INSTITUTION.--This Institution, which does honour to the taste and liberality of those distin guished Patrons of the Arts by whom it was founded, closed its winter Exhibition on Saturday last, much to our regret, and, considering the peculiar merit of many of the productions, and the general excellence of the whole, to the regret of the public also, as we are of opinion that its attraction would have been unabated for a longer period. But we presume that it has been closed for the purpose of preparing for another exhi bition of the same kind. It would be unjust to conclude with out paying a tribute to the attention and courtesy of Mr. YOUNG, the Keeper, and to the taste, judgment, and impartiality, which characterised the general arrangement. THE FINE AtiTs.—The Society of Painters in Water-Colours on Saturday gratified the connoisseurs with a private view of their annual exhibition at the Egyptian-Hall, Piccadilly. It is with much pleasure we state, that there is no appearance of decline in that elegant branch of art, but that it fully maintains the standard of excellence which it exhibited last year. We have not room to particularize the several works ; yet it is but just to state that the productions of FIELDING, PROUT, ROBSON, W. TunwEn and other art ists of well-known talents, are highly creditable to themselves, and will be very gratifying to the public. LORD BYRON.—We are requested, by a cor respondent, to correct some mis-statements which have got into circulation on the subject of the late increase of fortune to which Lord and Lady Byron have succeeded by the death of Lady Noel. The following particulars, we are assured, are correct :—" The late Lord Wentworth left, by will, a life interest in his Leicestershire estate (about 6,0001. per annum) to his sister, Lady Noel, at whose death it was to descend to Lady Byron, for her life only, and consequently to Lord Byron, in right of his wife, during her Ladyship's life. At the period of the separation between Lord and Lady Byron, it was agreed to by his Lordship, that should he, by Lady Byron's surviving Lady Noel, ever come into possession of the rental of the estate, a friend should be named by Lady Byron, to meet a friend on the part of his Lordship, and that their decision should fix what portion of the rental should be appropriated to her Lady ship's sole use. Lord nacre, on the part of Lady Byron, met Sir F. Burdett, on the part of Lord Byron, and they have de cided that one moiety of the net annual produce of the estate shall be appropriated to her Ladyship."—( The Times.) The play of Kenilworth has been produced at Dublin with great success ; we subjoin an extract from The Observer paper of that city, on the subject of Mrs. Burces Queen Elizabeth:— " Mrs. Burrx was the representative of Elizabeth, and gave us, both in dress and demeanour, a lively idea of the virgin or virago Queen. The imperious passions of one invariably ac customed to command—whose decisive oilier precluded the possibility of disobedience—whose love and tenderest feelings were subservient to her state and dignity as a monarch—these and all the prominent attributes with which history has in vested this Royal artd extraordinary personage, were delineated by Mrs. BUNN with a force, brilliancy, and truth of colouring, . that place her high on the list of histrionic artists." ROYAL NAVY , &c. The Alligator, 28, at Deptford, is ordered to be commis sioned. On Thursday the Fanny transport arrived at Portsmouth, from Malta, with troops and returned Government stores. She left that island on the 22d February, when there were there his Majesty's ships Rochfort, 80, (Vice-Admiral Sir Graham Moore, K.C.8.), Dispatch, Chanticleer, and Adventure. - She is under quarantine.

She was captured at the back of the Isle of Wight by the smuggler mistaking the Cameleon for a merchant vessel: Four of the men being found fit for his Majesty's service have been put on board the Queen Charlotte, whence they are to be sent abroad for five years. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—On the 9th March last, at six o'clock, A. 311. 5 a countryman who was employed gathering sea-weed on Irris shore in the parish of Clonmauny, county of Donegal, found a bottle which had been thrown out by his Majesty's ship Fury, Captain Parry, in lat. 62. 8. N. long. 62. 27. W. The countryman, anxious to ascertain the con tents of the bottle, conceiving it contained something which might be valuable to him, instantly broke it, and found a paper, on which was inserted the following, in seven different languages : _ _ Hi! Majesty's ship Fury. " Set off July, 1821, lat. 62. 8. N. long. 62. 27: W. At One, P. at., moderate breezes from the northward, dull misty weather. Hecla in company. " W. PARRY, Commander."

On Wednesday last, two Petitions (one to the House of Peers, the other to the House of Commons) were trans mitted from North Shields to London, against any alteration in the Navigation Laws, tending to shake the preponderancy of Great Britain, either commercially or martially, on the ocean; or, under guise of canting liberality, to do away the essence of the Acts of 12th of Charles 11. _ _ We understand that the witnesses who were summoned to appear on the trial of William Mittray Borthwick, on Monday next, have received notice that it will not be neces sary for them to appear.

A short time since, a very respectable drug gist in Sheffield was fined in the mitigated penalty of 311. 10s. for having sold to a victualler a mixture of liquorice, ginger, and pepper,—articles which, however far from being deleterious in themselves, the legislature has thought fit to forbid in the manufacture of malt liquor, under the very heavy penalty of 5001.
