different parties and various dasses. of the lieges, was very opposite and very amusing. The To ries had " cocked their feather" in high spirit, for some days previous. Dinner-parties there were without number—bumpers to the health of the King, and to the honour and success of " the Duke,"—miraculous cures were produced on the feet of those afflicted with the gout, — and prayers for " his Majesty's Councillors" were offered up, with a fervent smack of the lips, by those who had neglected this part of their " duty" for some cons id era bl e t i me . B ut on that morning there was a " chancre." And now what a treat are the looks of the discomfited Antis ! Those insignificant creatures whose moth-eaten opinions go to tatters when exposed to the bright rays of the " sun of liberty," all sneaked out of the way. One whose lips ought never to move but in the spirit of love to all all men, thus expressed himself, and the expres sion will not soon be forgotten, " the blackguards of Whigs are again in office." But to the Re formers it was a joyous day. The bells were rung almost incessantly for twelve hours,—bon fires blazed throughout the streets,—flags streamed from the windows, and a procession, the most numerous we ever witnessed in St. Andrew's, took place in the afternoon. GENERAL ASSEMBLY. We have no time at present to enter into the grievance of patronage which was before the As sembly on Thursday, nor is it likely, that, under existing circumstances, our readers would thank us if we did. Moreover, we feel the less in clined to make it the subject of discussion, as from the progress of opinion and the effect pro duced by the recent acts of our Church Courts, we think the question is likely to merge in ano ther of greater extent and importance. On Friday the subject of discussion was the Government plan of Irish education. The party opposed to it now feel, we believe, that the out cry made by certain Presbyteries has not raised, but lowered the Church in public estimation ; and the very moderate resolution adopted yester day, seems to us to have been framed chiefly with the view of covering its retreat frona the awkward position in which it has been placed by the in discretion of the provincial courts. We are al most sorry that the Assembly adopted such mo derate counsels ; for -since it is plain enough that the factious spirit exists in all its virulence, it is as well that it should appear without a mask. The more we read of the proceedings of this sub• ject, the more clearly we see, that the clamour has its origin in motives much more closely con nected with the interests of the church, than those of religion ; that it springs from a desire to embarrass a liberal Ministry, from which the clergy think they have less to expect than from its opponents, and from a wish to support a sister establishment in its claims to domination. The latter motive was frankly avowed by Mr. M , Farlane, of Renfrew, who declared that he objected to the Government plan, because it withrew the national seminaries from the super intendence of the Protestant clergy ; that is to say, in order to promote peace and piety, he would confide the charge of the education of the whole people to the clergy of a denomination comprehending only one-seventh part of them, and with the other six-sevenths of whom the same clergy have long lived in a state of bitter strife and contention : Oh ! the blessings which spring from a State religion !—Scotsman. TITHE CAMPAIGN !—COUNTY CARLOW ! ! (From the Tipperary Free Press.) (EXTRACT OF A LETTER.) On Saturday morning, at three o'clock, the mountains' tops were seen blazing in every di rection around Rathvilly ; the soldiers, sheriff, and rector's writ were out, and multitudes poured in from all quarters. Major Ryan, with two companies of foot, a troop of horse, and twenty-three police, made a direct demonstra tion on Lisnakeagh, and seized fourteen head of Philip Germaine's cattle, worth 8/. a piece, for a debt of 34/. including costs claimed by the rector. I arrived at nine o'clock, when the sheriff and his attendants were putting the cattle up to sale. Of '20,000 assembled, nobody would bid a farthing, and the sheriff seeing further delay useless, drove the beasts, under Major Ryan's escort, on to Carlow, attended by the immense crowd that increased at every step, but did not offer the slightest opposition to the legal proceedings. On the road, three or four Catholic clergymen stopped, addressed the people, and exhorted them to return to their homes, lest any accident should happen, and the peace be broken, which might lead to the most serious consequences. Fortunately their excel lent advice was taken without delay, and the ca valcade reached Carlow without any opposition. No food or shelter could however be procured for the cattle, except in the gaohyard, where they at present remain. The following account is abridged front the Carlow Morning Post, of Thursday : MONDAY, TEN O'CLOCK.—Carlow at this hour is crowded with persons from the Queen's County, Counts , Carlow, County Wicklow, and County Kildare. The noise proceeding from the discordant notes elicited from tin horns, cows' horns, &c. was not pleasing to the ears of the parsons and their armed followers. 'TWELVE O'CLOCK.—The sale was announced amidst the most tremendous and volcanic exe crations ever heard before. The military were confined to barrack, within one perch of the scene of action. The gaoler was at hand to un fetter the emprisoned bullocks ! ! The She riff ordered the two bailiffs to drive out the cattle. But, to his extreme mortification, Byrne, the elder bailiff, actually refused to do so. The other bailiff was not to be found, and. the poor Tory sheriff, in the mania of the moment, ran at Byrne, thrust' a sharp stick at his belly, saying at the same time, your soul, you rascal ; go to the devil out of this ! !" The indignation of the people was extraordi nary ; peace was not broken ; and Byrne, who is now styled' the. Patriotic Bailiff, was chaired through the.,town. TUESDAY MORNING.—The Sheriff can find no bailiff . ! ! ! and it is supposed he himself must at once drive out the cattle and sell them ! ! FEN•O',GLOCK.—At this time . the town is crowded to suffocation. The country people have neglected their business ; the tradesmen have left their employment, and thousands are moving to and fro, awaiting the commencement of the sale. TWELVE O'CLOCK.—A deputation waits on the Sheriff to know what day or hour he will commence the sale. He gives no satisfaction— refuses to tell. No bailiff's can yet be found to attend the cattle. Byrne is again chaired. The sale is adjourned till to-morrow. The people all separate, determined to come again on Wed- nesday. There was never anything witnessed like the enthusiasm and the peaceful demeanour of the people or their determination to evince I their disgust and abhorrence of the conduct o Parson Whitty. Whitty has not appeared at all WEDNESDAY MORNING.—TfIe men fron the Queen's County, and County Carlow, are a! this moment pouring in from all quarters, and seem rather renovated than fatigued, by their at. tendance in town since last Saturday. At every mo ment hundreds are pouring in, so that the anxiety of the public about the sale is raised to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. TWELVE O'CLOCK.—The Kildare men now arrive to the number of two thousand, and their entrance into the town was greeted by the most enthusiastic cheering ever witnessed before. HALF-PAST TWELVE.--11r. James Caul field delivered a most eloquent and able speech, pointing out the injustice of the tithe system, and imploring the assembled thousands to con duct themselves peaceably and constitutionally. HALF-PAST Two.—Nlr. Caulfield has been sent for by the Sheriff, who declared, that the bullocks shall be either held up to sale on to morrow or enlarged. Mr. Caulfield acted on the occasion as the confidential trustee of the people, and spoke with a firmness and a since rity which must ever entitle him to the confi dence and the love of every liberal man in the country. WILLIAM PITT AND REFORM. " Downing-street, Nov. 28, 1782. " SIR,-1 received the favour of you note, accompany ing the resolutions of the Yorkshire Committee, for which I beg to return you many thanks. I forbear entering into any particulars on the subject of them. My general sentitnents in favour of a substantial and practicable Reform of Parliament are invariable. " I am, Sir, with great regard, " Your faithful and obedient servant, " To the Rev. C. Wyvill" 44 W. PITT.' Ott the 7th of May, 1783, Mr. Pitt made a motion for a Reform in Parliament, of which the fol lowing are extracts : " He found himself obliged to discover and lay before the House the imperfections of that;Constitu don to which every Englishman ought to look up with reverential awe—a Constitution which, while it continued such as it was framed by our ancestors, was truly called the production of the most consum mate wisdom ; but a melancholy series of events, which had eclipsed the glory of Britain, exhibited a reverse of fortune which could be accounted for only on this principle—that, during the last fifteen years, there had been a deviation from the princi ples of that happy Constitution under which the people of England had so long flourished." " This was, therefore, a proper time to enter upon the business of a reformation which every man that gave himself a moment's time to think must be sa tisfied was absolutely necessary. An Englishman who should compare the flourishing state of his country some twenty years ago with the state of hu miliation in which he now beholds her, must be convinced that the ruin which he now deplores, having been brought on by slow degrees, and almost imperceptibly, proceeded from something radically wrong in the constitution. . . . The influence of the Crown was sapping the very foundation of liberty by corruption—it had been felt within those walls, and had often been found strong enough to stifle the sense of duty, and to overrule the proposi , tions made to satisfy the wishes and desires of the people. The House of Commons (in former Par liaments) had been base enough to feed the influ ence that enslaved its Members, and thus was, at one time, the parent and offspring of corruption." " Berkeley-square, Nov. 8, 1783. " SIR-On my return to town I received the honour of your letter, accompanied by the resolution of the Com mit•ee on the Ist of October. I have the greatest satis faction in finding that the propositions which I submitted to Parliament in the last session are considered by them as tending to accomplish a Reform of the Parliamentary abuses complained of by the petitions of the people. I trust I need not assure you, that no exertion or perseve• ranee on my part shall be wanting in support of the prin ciples on which those propositions were founded. Lin successful as my attempts have hitherto proved, I shall anxiously wait for a seasonable moment for renewing them, and eagerly embrace it whenever there is a just prospect of doing it with effect. lam truly sensible of the obliging manner in which you have hid the goodness to convey to me the sense of the Committee, and ant, Sir, with great respect, your most obedient humble servant, " W. PITT. " To the Chairman of the Committee of the As sociation of the county of York. On the 18th of April, 178.5, Mr. Pitt made a motion to amend the representation of the people in Parliament, of which the following are extracts : " It was unnecessary for him to say how nearly it was connected with every other interest which could be important to Englishmen." Speaking of those who were fearful of approach ing the question, he goes on to say,—" Others there were, hut for these he confessed he had not the same respect, who considered the present state of the representation as pure and adequate to all its purposes, and peilectly consistent with the first prin ciples (f r e p resen t a ti on. . . All mankind' knew that the best institutions, like human bodies, carried in themselves the seeds of decay and corruption; and therefore he thought himself justifiable in pro posing remedies against this corruption, which the frame of the constitution must necessarily experi ence if not prevented by wise and judicious regula tions." " This was the third effort made by him since he had the honour of a seat in Parliament, to prevail upon the Legislature to adopt a Reform in the re presentation of tie people." " The practicable definition of w hat the popular branch of our Legislature was at this day, he took to be precisely this An assembly freely elected, between whom and the mass of the people there was the closest uni,n and most perfect 3ytnpathy.' Such an House of Commons it was the purpose of the con stitution originally to erect, and such an House of Commons it was the wish of every Reformer now to establish." " He considered it as one of the most indisputable doctrines of antiquity, that the state of the repre sentation was to be changed with the change of cir cumstances." " He would submit to the world which of the two were the mast anxious for the preservation of the ori ginal principle of the constitution—h e who was for maintaining the exterior and name of representation when the substance was gone, or he who, preferring the substance and reality of representation to the name and exterior, was solicitous, of changing its seat from one part of the country to another, as one place might flourish and another decay." " Now, and in all future time, to adapt the repre sentation to the state of the country, was the idea of Reform which he entertained." " If there had always been an House of Com. mons who were the faithful stewards of the inte rests of their country, the diligent checks on the ad ministration of the final ces, the constitutional ad visers of the executive branch of the legislature, the steady and uninfluenced friends of the people, he asked if the burdens which the constituents of that House were now doomed to endure would have, been incurred ? Would the people of England have.suffered the calamities to which they had lately been made subject ?" " The people of England would wait with pa tience for.: the operation of this arrangement, from the confidence they had in the truth and character of the present Parliament. It was elected under circumstances which made it dear to Riglishmen: it had not yet forfeited the confidence of the country." " To conquer the corruption that existed in those decayed boroughs, be believed that gentlemen would Acknowledge to be impossible. The temptation wai too great for poverty to resist ; and the conse quence of this corruption was so visible, that some plan of reforming the boroughs had clearly become Absolutely necessary." " If vie look back to our history we find that the brightest periods of its glory and triumph were those in which the House of Commons had th most complete confidence in their Ministers, am he people of England the most complete confiderc, in the House of Commons. The purity of repre. sentation was the only true and permanent source o such confidence." " The certain way of securing their properties and freedom was to purify the sources of represen tation, and to establish that strict relation between themselves (the people) and the house of Com mon:, which it was the original idea of the consti tution to create." " Ayes, 174—Noes, 218—Majority, 71." Among those who voted with Mr. Pitt, are the !rattles of John Jeffries Pratt (now Lord Camden), Lord Apsley (now Bathurst), John Lowther, Wil liam Lowther (Cumberland), Sir Lloyd Kenyon, Henry Doncombe (Yorkshire), W. Wilberforce (Yorkshire), Henry Dundas, James Murray (Perth shire), J. P. Bastard (Devon), W. Lygon (Wor cestershire), Sir J. Ross (Suffolk). COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY 29, sPARLING P. HADDON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff; as an attorney of the Court of King's Bench, against the defendant, the printer and publisher of the Colches ter Gazette, for a libel published of him in that paper. The plaintiff had been employed by a young woman named Appleby, to bring an action against a butcher named Lines, for a breach of promise of marriage, in which Miss Appleby recovered a ver dict for 3001. The amorous but faithless butcher was subsequently summoned before two magis trates, when an order of affiliation was made upon him, and he was required to give the necessary se curity to maintain the child of which Miss Appleby had become pregnant. A report of the proceedings before the justices appeared in the defendant's paper, in which the butcher was made to observe to the girl's father, that " he ought to have employed a more honest lawyer," meaning, than the present plaintiff. This was the libel complained of. The cause was tried at the last Chelmsford assize, when the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—DA mages 20/. Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE obtained a rule last term calling on the defendant to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had, on the ground that the plaintiff had not given suf ficient evidence to support the allegation of his be ing an attorney of the Court of King's Bench. To-day the Learned Sergeant enforced his argu ments in support of the rule. Mr. Sergeant WILDE, on the other side, in support of his proposition, quoted the case of " Pearce v. Whale," from Barrie all and Cresswell's Reports. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE asked Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE if he could distinguished the present case from that of " Pearce v. Whale ?" Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE thought he could. Mr. Justice PARK.-4 am afraid, brother Spankie, you will find it " very like a whale."—(Laughter.) Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE confessed he was unable to contend with his Lordship in wit ; but still he thought the point he relied upon was wholly un touched by the case quoted on the other side.—Rule discharged. MELANCHOLY LOSS OF LIFE BY FIRE Yesterday afternoon an inquisition was taken at the Golden Lion, in Dean -street, Soho, before Mr. HIGGS, the Deputy Coroner for Westminster, to in vestigate the circumstances connected with the death of Eliza Twamley, burned to death at a fire in Oxford-street, on Monday morning last. Sarah Smith was servant to Mr. Smithies, of 398, Oxford street. Her master carried on the trade of a tobacconist, and was by trade a cabinet. maker. She had only lived there a few days pre• vious to Sunday last : four females and two gentle men lodged in the house. On Sunday night last, witness went to bed about twelve o'clock, there was at that time not the slightest appearance of fire in the house. She slept at the top of the house on that night. Miss Twamley (the deceased) occupied three rooms on the second-floor. My master and mistress had been quarrelling all the preceding week. At about six o'clock on Monday morning, I heard, whilst in bed, the deceased's sister call out fire; I immediately ran into the front room. I opened the door of the second floor front room, and saw de ceased and a little boy standing at one of the win dows. I immediately threw up one of the sashes, and jumped into the street. I was caught by some persons in the crowd in the street, and received very little injury. By a Juror—When I was going to rest, I heard master ask Mrs. Smithies whether he should sleep with her, or go up to sleep in my bed. My mis tress said, that he could please himself,—he had often slept a month away from her, arid he was at liberty to do so again if he thought proper. My master, however, went into my mistress's bed-room, and I did not see him again. My master did take two sacks of shavings into the wash-house on Sun day morning. The shavings and some old boxes had previously been in a coal vault. I did not smell any fire on .uriday, but I remarked to my mistress that there was a s'rong smell of turpentine, which I thought was occasioned by some new fir that was upon the premises. My master and mis tress were both sober when they went to bed, and appeared to be on more friendly terms than they had been for several days past. Hen y Csddell—l live opposite to the house in which Mr. Smithies resided. At about six o'clock on Monday morning I was opening my master's shop, when I 'lewd the cries of " Fire !" and " Murder !" On crossing the road, I saw a man's hAnd thrust out between the railings of the area of Mr. S m ithi e .' n house. Upon looking down the area, I saw Mr. mit lies. S • I could not opn the gate, as it was sol dered; I therefore called to my assistance some po lice constables, who broke open the hall door. At this time I saw some females at the windows, in the front of the house. I saw the deceased run to the window arid put out of it a little boy, who clung some time to the wood work. She pushed the boy in order that be might fall into the arms of the people who were below. The boy did fall. The deceased fell backwards, apparently from suffocation arid exhaustion, and I did not see her any more. Soon after the boy fell, I saw Mr. Smithies come up through the flames of the kitchen. He was completely dressed. His clothes were on fire, and his face was very much burnt. I did not see Mrs. Smithies. I have heard that a Frenchman made his escape arid rang along Dean-street, but has not been heard of s'nce. Mr. It:chard O'Grady saw Mr. Smithies on Tues day evenin g in 'Middlesex H os pi ta l , where he lies in a vet) , dangerous state. Upon putting some questions to him, relative to the origin of the fire, Smithies informed witness that early on Monday morning he lighted a tire in the kitchen, for the pur pose of heating some water to dissolve some salts. He had occasion to quit the kitchen fora few minutes, and on his return he found the place filled with flames and smoke. He added, that the fire must have been occasioned by sparks falling upin a quan tity of shavings that were strewed about the floor. Mrs. Smithies was next brought befor e the Co roner and Jury, and was so much affected, that seve ral minutes elapsed before she could utter a word. She stated, that she was wholly ignorant of every circumstance connected with the origi n of the fire. Her husband arose at an early hour on Monday morning, for the purpose, as he said, of making some Shortly afterw ar d s , s h e heard the cry of" gruel .Fire' and made her escape through one of the beck windows. She did not know whether he. husband had insured his property. All they possessed in the world was destroyed. By a Juror—Air. Smithies had often expressed a wish to let the shop, and it was expected that a per son would have taken it on Monday. Some of the Jury expressed a wish to examine the ruins of the premises, in consequence of which the inquest was adjourned. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. ST. JAMES'S PALACE, MAY 24.

SI a, —A Committee having been appointed at the White Hart Inn, Oxford- road, Reading, Belks, to receive (one Penny) subscriptions from Reading and its vicinity, for the purpose of presenting Mr. Hunie with a piece of plate, for his manly and upright conduct as a Member of Parlia ment, and more particularly for his admirable speech de livered in the Commons' House of Parliament on the 10th of May, 1832, more than 2,000 persons in Reading and its vicinity have already subscribed. It was unanimously agreed to by the Committee, that a letter should be sent to the Editor of The Sun Evening Newspaper, asking of him the favour to insert, by way of paragraph or otherwise, the above-named statement of the Committee; and that, if it should meet his approba tion, and be consistent with the rules and regulations of that most excellent Journal, to insert the said statement, the Committee would feel extremely obliged. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, T. PARKER, Secretary. Signed on behalf of the Committee, May 29, 1832. WM. TURNER, Chairman. TRIUMPHANT ENTRY of MR. ATTWOOD INTO BIRMINGHAM. Monday was a proud day for Mr. Attwood. It having been made known by the Council of the Political Union, by means of placards, that on that day he would return from London, it was immediately determined to give him a public reception. Arrangements were accordingly made, and in the course of the morning of Monday it was evident that the occupiers of houses on the whole line in which he would proceed had been industriously employed during the short period allowed for preparation. Almost every house exhibited a banner, and numerous triumphal banners, em blazoned with appropriate devices and mottoes, extended across the streets. In the course of the day a carriage and four went out to meet Mr. Attwood at Coventry ; but the population of that city, previously aware of his passing through, met him a mile before reaching Coventry. Thou sands went out for this purpose. The horses were taken from his carriage, and he was dragged in triumph through the city. On leaving Coventry, Mr. Attwood, accornpaoied by W. Boulibee, De B. Attwood, and W. G. Lewis, Esqrs. (members of the deputation), proceeded at a rapid rate towards Birmingham. At Stone-bridge they were met by numerous horsemen and carriage company from Birming ham; and at Yardley, four miles from town, the crowd so thickened upon them, that it was found difficult to proceed at more thin a walking pace. Between here and Birming ham the cavalcade was immense. At Small Heath a triumphant banner extended across the road, on which was inscribed, " Attwood and liberty." The cheering at this point was deafening. Mr. Attwood alighted at the house of Thomas Potts, Esq. where, with his friends, he was en tertained at lunch. The deputation was here joined by Joshua Scholefield, Esq., G. T. ➢Lantz, Esq., and numer ous other gentlemen of influence from Birmingham. The procession, unexampled in point of splendour, proceeded on its way to Birmingham, amidst the cheers of countless thousands. Every window and the tops of houses were crowded with enthusiastic spectators. AIN Attwood oc cupied the front seat of the carriage, and returned the con gratulations of his friends with courtesy. The procession moved through Deritend, Digbeth, the Bull-ring, and H gh-street, into New street. On reaching the bank of Messrs. Attwood and Spooner, Mr. Attwood alighted, and addressed the multitude irons the balcony of the Hen and Chickens ; he lamented that owing to the lateness of the evening (nearly nine o'clock) he could not proceed farther in procession, and advised the whole of his friends to separate quiet'y to their several homes. After repeated cheers, with his request the populace complied. The day will be long remembered in Birmingham. CELEBRATION OF THE KING'S BIRTH, DAY AT MANCHESTER. MANCHESTER, MAY 29. There has been a sad falling off this year in the spirit and gayety with which the King's birthday has been heretofore celebrated, although it was expected from the recent turn which affairs have taken, and from the prepa rations which were making, that it would have gone off with the usual splendour. A procession of all the military in the town, the municipal authorities, pensioners, &c. &c. had been advertised to take place yesterday, and the gentlemen of the town were invited to join it. At the time of mustering there were not more than ten individuals, and with this scanty accompaniment the procession set off to Ardwick-green, where there was a great number of spectators. Here a feu de joie was fired, and the parties returned home again. In the evening, according to cus tom, a dinner was held in the Exchange dining-room. Covers had been laid for 200 gentlemen, but there were not more than about 150 present. The company consisted mostly of the old Tories who have been from time imme morial accustomed to attend these scenes. The Borough reeve presided, On the health of the King being given as Duke of Lancaster, it was certainly given with four times four, but in a most cheerless and insipid manner, and the character of the company may be best gleaned from the manner in which the next toast —" the Queen"—.was drunk. It was received with tre mendous cheering. The health of his Majesty's Minis ters was given, and received very coldly indeed. The whole affair was of a most contemptible description, and his Majesty's popularity here has sadly fallen off. In Sal ford they could not muster a procession at all. Six or seven individuals went for the purpose, but walked home again. About one hundred gentlemen met the Boroughreeve at the Town Hall, over a good dinner, and spent the evening in a most convivial manner, es chewing as much as possible all party politics ; but it could not be concealed that the feelings of the majority of the people were not much in approval of his Majesty's recent conduct. Several attempts were made in the town to get up private dinner parties, but they nearly all tailed. About the same time that the procession was going on, about 1,000 ra gamuffins met in the far-famed St. George's-fields, pursu ant to the terms of a placard which had been plentifully posted about the town, for the purpose of considering the propriety of reducing rents, according to the pressure of the times. The principal orator was a worthy, named Morrow, who has lately emerged from the New Bailey, where he has been domiciled for a few months, from an inability to find sureties to keep the peace for that period, he having been convicted of an assault arising out of the weavers' turn-out. Most of the parties came from the neighbourhood of Cropper street and Newtown, where for years past little or no rent has ever been paid, and where a bailiff dare not show his face. After a good deal of speechifying, it was sagely re solved to pay no more rents, a resolution which the great majority of them had acted upon for a long time previously. The agitation which prevailed to such an extent in this town during the memorable " ten days " had entirely dis appeared; but the respectable Reformers are keeping an anxious look-out, ready to act with spirit if any emer gency should call them out. Business has been and con tinues dreadfully bad ; most of the warehouses might as well be closed fur what trade they are doing.

(From the Messager des Chambres.l MEETING OF THE DEPUTIES IN OPPOSITION. The assemblage of the Opposition Deputies has struck the Ministry to the heart. During the two days it was the object of the most violent attacks of certain journals. The terror which was thus exhi bited could not fail to betray embarrassment. The wisdom and the moderation of the Deputies rendered these declamations powerless. On the one side mo deration showed strength and just right, whilst on the other the spite and slender means which it sum moned to its aid proved that it had neither strength nor reason. A Committee was appointed for the purpose of preparing the expression of the opinion of the Depu ties present at the meeting, and of all the grievances urged by the Opposition during the last session. It was wished to prove that the Members who composed it recollected with regret some passing discords respecting questions of form or opportunity which had accidentally disturbed the homogeneity of the Opposition; but that whatever might have been their opinions, more or less violent upon some slight questions, they were still intimately united upon questions of principle, and with regard to important acts which required to be seriously considered. Lafitte and M. Comenin—M. Barrot and M. Mauguin—M. Lafayette and M. Comte—were named ; and it seemed that in thus opposing merely names to names, the elements of discord and war might be set in motion. It is not, however, in point of fact astonishing that M. Lafayette, the first defender, and M. Co menin, the most vigorous champion of the sove reignty of the people—that M. Barrot and M. Mau guin, who have fraternally pursued a career of elo quence and patriotism--that M. Lafitte and M. Comte, a courageous Deputy and writer, of the first days of the restoration—should be agreed respecting the great principles of the Revolution, brought about for the triumph of the sovereignty of the people, and in hatred of the restoration—a revolution which they all honour, which they all want to proceed, and which they are all ready to defend. The Committee has already met severs! times ; and we believe we may state that it has been una nimous on all the points intended to form the basis of its labours. We believe we are authorised in saying that it comprehends the whole extent of its powers, that it will not shrink from the assertion of any true principle or its consequences, and that the result of the meeting of these Hon. Members will be of a nature to satisfy all the friends of the revo lution of July, and of the Government which it founded. Let the Deputies revive and defend the rights of the revolution—let them recall to the recollection of the Government its domestic duties, and its true interests—let them speak if it must be so, in bold and severe language—let them express at the same time the ideas of the Opposition as to the system of Government and its general principles of policy and organization applicable to present circumstancei, and they will reduce their adversaries to silence, they will have set up a light before which no one can shut his eyes, and they will, in every way, have rendered a service to the throne, and deserve well of the country. A note has been addressed by the Conference to the King of Holland, inviting him to send Pleni potentiaries to London for the purpose of negotiat ing the definitive Convention between Holland and Belgium. Several journals have spoken of notices given at the Tuileries, respecting the importance of existing circumstances, by an illustrious Marshal, who is known to be particularly honoured by the favour and friendship of an illustrious personage. It is stated that, enlightened himself, after some hesitation in his political conduct respecting the real dangers which menace the Government and the revolution of July, the old Minister has discovered that it is time there should no longer be any but two colours in France, the blues and the whites, and that the former should be treated in such a way as to take away all hope from the second. May this consideration soon preside over the con duct of the Government, and let its origin be traced to the early days of August, 1830, when there were but two parties in France, the friends and the ene mies of the revolution of July. (From the * Nouvelliste.) PARIS, MAY 27.—Reports of a very recent date having put the Government in possession of infor mation that the agitators were preparing a move ment in Le Boccage (Vendee) measures were taken to frustrate every attempt. Assemblages of factious individuals were met on several point, of Boccage during the day of the 23d, and were dispersed. Some personages, more or l e ss marked, were taken with arms in their hands ; amongst this number are the Sieurs de Chievre, ex- Chef de escadron of the Staff, Desmenard, de Saintes, four of the ex-Royal Guards, and two or three young persons of Bressuire and Parthenay. The prompt repression of this attempt will prove to the f act i ous t h at aut h or i ty is awake, and that it knows how to act with vigour. The Government, for the frustration of the conspiracies of the parti sans of the fallen dynasty, will exhaust all the means with which it is provided by the law. New reports are announced. We shall hasten to make known the details.—Moniteur. BOGOTA PAPERS. (From the Constitutional de Cundinamarca.) BOGOTA, MARCH I I.—ln a late number of our Paper we gave the names of those individuals who, in our opinion, as well as in that of the great majority of the Granadians, ought to be nominated to the highest offices of the State. We have now the satisfaction to state that the Convention of N e w Granada on the 9th inst., appointed General Fran' cisco de Paula Santander, President of the State, and Jose Ignacio Marquez, Vice-President, by very large majorities of the Deputies. We flatter our selves that the Convention has paid some attention to the sincere and anxious wishes which we have expressed. Would to heaven that this election may prove to be the symbol of the peace and prosperity of New Granada. On the next morning Jose Ignacio Marquez was installed in office before the assembled Deputies and an immense concourse. Before taking the oath of office, he addressed the meeting in a long and eloquent speech, in which he declared his devotion to his country, and the Con stitution which he was about to administer. The Council of State elected this day consists of the following Members :—Jose Rafael Mosquere, Vicente Azucro, Francisco Soto, Domingo Calcedo, Miguel Uribe Restrepo, Manuel Benito Rovollo, and Jose Vallarino. (From the Gaceta de la Nueva Granada.) MARCH 11.—The following is a copy of the letter which was sent by the President of the Convention to General Santander, announcing the election of the latter : " SENOR,-The Convention at which I had the he nour to preside, has been occupied this day in filling up the Presidentship of New Granada—and you, Sir, are the citizen selected for this exalted station. " Your patriotism, your sufferings in the cause of liberty, and the zeal you have shown for the promotion of your country's freedom, even during the period of your expatriation, have led the representatives of the peopl e to fix their eyes on you as one who can heal the wounds in flicted by despotism and civil disorder on the eoun'ry.--- They trust that as soon as this communication is leceiveth you will net hesitate to comply with their Lopes, and the hopes of all Granadians. " To this communication of your appointment I must be allowed to add the expression of my Fersonal anxiety for your return to your native soil, and of the sentiments of distinguished consideration with which I have the ho nour to be, &c.," :JOSE MARIA ESTEVES, " Bogota, March 9.
