A;mtvil Election of Common Councilmen,
and subordinate officers, in the several IVards of
the city of Loudon, commenced yesterday. It
'News the great height to which the spirit of party
ha.. arisen. There is scarcely a Ward that is not
tested.

Three Gottettburgh mails, with letters cal pa-
pers from that city, to the 12th, were received yetiter-
' day ; and, at the same time, German papers to the
loth. The King of SWEDEN has had a second at-
tack of ripol.lexy, lint he is represented in a state
of convalescence. In the event of his demise, it is
thought the Prince of A cr.:usTENSURG will decline
• the succession to the Swedish throne. The limited
power of the Executive is the ostensible cause fur
his refits:Ll ; bat it is inure probable, that, if aucli be
his determination, he hos been led to it by the
reduced and uncertain state of the country.—
The deposed King, GUSTAVDS, was, in the be-
ginning of the mouth, tin his way to Catlicronss
where he was to embark fur the Continent, fo►
Baden, which is assigned as his future place of
residence. The illness of Ilia present MAJESTY
appears to have accelerated the departure of IG us-
TAVCIII. fears being entertained, that, if the throne
became vacant, his partisans might make an at-
tempt to restore I . The Queen of SWEDEN,
and the Grand Duchess of BADE N. are sisters. It
is, probably. from this circumstance, that Baden
has beets chosen for the asylum of this uufurtuoate
King.
Peace has been concluded between Denmark
and Sweden, and also between Sweden and France,
upon nearly the name terms as the peace between
Sweden and Russia. In all these, Sweden reserves
to herself the right of itup rrti g colonial produce.
The pewee with Austria• has been also announced
to his subjects by the Emperor of Itussibt, in a Pro-
elaination, highly approving its conditions. Among
these, the joy expressed at the portion of territory
assigned to him in Poland, would lathier its to sup-
pose, that the report of its having been the born-
nun of BONAPAITS to re-establish that kmgdam„
was not an idle rumour.
The German papers contain some farther ac-
counts of the obstinate spirit and perseverance
of the gallant Tyrolean', in their present des-
perate struggle for liberty and independence.
—They also contain some articles, from which,
we fear, that the Ottoman Empire is ►apittly ap-
p►oachiug its dissolution. Following up the
threat in Bo* AAAAA L'S speech to his' Legisla-
tive Body, a hint at a campaign in Greece is art-
fully thrown out, in a supposed speech of a soldier
of the French guards, in returning from Germany,
which says, BONAPANTE will go and gg protect the 1
Turkish Empire," by conquering it, or engaging it
to submit to dictatioa aad dismemberment.

We have observed, with great !satisfaction, the
election of Lord Grenville to the situation of Chan-
cellor of the University of Oxford. Without en-
teriiig into any invidious comparison between his
Lordship and the other candidates upon this occa-
sion, we rejoice that one so gleaLly distinguished
iu the political world has been nomittateii by that
respectable body to the highest dignity is its gift.
But the satisfaction which wederive from this event,
is not merely in consequence of the honour reflected
upon his. Lordship, we also take into our account
the proof which it affords to the Trienils.of religious
liberty, that their cause is making * sure and per-
ceptible advance, rind that the trio mph of reason and
propriety, over folly, Ingotry„ and indiscretion, is
neither so incredible, nor so remote, as some per-
sons would represent it. The attachment of his
Lordship to the Catholic case is well-known, and
the strictness of his adherence to those principles
which be considers of vital importance to the na-
tion and to the constitution, affords a sufficient se-
curity against his desertion of that cause in any
circumstances. He did not abandon it under the
'displeasure of authoriy, sad he will cot forget it in
the elation of success, The act of his election,
therefore, with this certain conviction upon the
minds of his electors, Mitt his sentiments upon that
leading question were favourable to the Catholics,
attains:o stilltentains4, recei yes s greater importance,
and admits a more extensive rang. of iliferesces
and dednetions, than would otherwise belong to it.
We do not mean to ascribe to the Oxouiaus a di-
rect advocacy of the Catholic Cause, but we submit,
whether it is a forced construction of the principle
of this election to say, that a body, thu least
chargeai.de with an inuovisting or revolutionary spi-
, rit, has established upon its authority, that no per-
severance in the muss. of Catholic Emancipation,
however streations, should fora an ohstruc•ioo to
tire preferment of any, individual, otherwise qua-
' biked. Unelloubteilly, if the University of Ox-
ford considered the pass Sing of this measure

as in any degree incousistcht with the seelark of,
Cnuech and State, they never could rectiocile to
their-Consciences the election of Lord Greeville;
that Nobleman has long imosted upon the neces-
sity of unanimity, and contended for the propriety
of enlisting the universal Irish nation." Upou
the terms of equal privileges, his efforts have, con-
sequently, been directed to separate political &ea-
bility fro n religious di-unction, and thus to en-
danger the security of Church and State; if Col-
leges, in their wisdom, will determine that con-
ciliation is dew... sue. It is curious to observe,
and no less curious than gratifying, that an elec-
tion of this description should follow, at so abort an
interval, the 2VmPopersr AfildreSs; it would seem as
if the good genius of the University was anxious to
restore its character, and provided that we should
have an opportunity of praising ;t, in the same breath
in which it was condemned ; or it would seem as if
that genius, which watches over mankind in general,
ordained that sentiments, so contrary to their rea-
son and interest, should find a practical refu-
tation in the conduct of those who would dig-
geminate them. Whatever was the cause, the
effect has been auspicious ; how much more con-
souant with that enlightened character, which it
'should have been always its boast to maintain, has
been its conduct upon the present occasion, than
upou that to which we have alluded ? In the pre-
sent instance, it has sheen a superiority to narrow
prejudices; iii the former, it did riot merely give way
to reigning absurdities, but endeavoured to revive
such absurdities as hod been exploded, and to re-
establish opiiiions, long disused amongst mankind,
by a difficult and laborious cultivation. When,
therefore, the people of the waited kingdom observe,
that those who have been loudest ii the no Popery
yell, evince, by their actions, by their very pilfer-
erica and selections, how little they are apprehen-
sive, from the success of that measure—surely they
will feel themselves justified, under such a sauction,
ha trying the experiment of liberality, and ascer-
taining, with the conviction that it cannot do
harm, whether it may lint do good. Surely nu
Corporation will consider the example of the
University of Oxford dangerous. No Corpora-
tion will consider the adoption of a principle.
authorised by its practice, as leading to the
dissoltiziou of established systems, and the ruin
of ancient institutions; let them adopt it, there-
fore ; let them select fur. their Representatives
the able and the disinterested, and the cause of the
Catholic, which is now become an essential in the
national.defelice, will obtain, from intellect and ho-
nesty, what was denied to it by knavery mid lure-
tuition. Yes ; offensive as it may appear to some
Gentlemen in the City, the present is an turfy! cri-
sis; and the full and co.nplete emancipation of the
Catholics of Ireland, is the only ineacure strong and
vigorous enough to meet it. Give the Catholic
his claims ; release him from these exemptions that
sink his political importance, and impair his con-
stitutional attachment ; make him what he requ'res
to be, and what he will never he satisfied until he
is heroine, your equal ; and then you will have pro-
ceeded in the right way to Make him your friend :
tell him, that your privileges are his privileges ;
that your constitution is his constitution; and then
lie will understand you, when you assure him that
yqur duty is his duty : give am equal stake in
the liberties of the country, and you will find his
affections as warm, his arm as strong, and his reso-
lution as iusurniousitable, as your own. aDo this,
() England ! and defy your enemies.—Neglect
and tremble even at time appearance of those who
ought tb be, and would be,your friends!

This wits an actiub on a Bill of Exchaeges to re-
cover ssl. from the Defendant, the drawer of the
bill.
Mr. CARRON 4tatil, that the Plaintiff was ■
West India merchant, and the Defendant bad
been the Crennianderie the American slip Presi-
dent, but had retired from that @timeline and en-
tered into mercantile speculations. He purchased
goods from the Planted to the amount of ;Al. and
he gave him, as payment, a bill of exchange lot that
1 amount, accepted by a Mr. Jones, who had siucr
become a bankrupt, and the bill was dishonoured.
' He understood the defence to be set up was, that
the Defendant had not due Limier of its being dis-
honoured, which would prove fetal to the prevent
action, if the Defendant had not fortunately
made a subsequent acknowledgment, and pro-
mised to discharge -it. He was instructed to say
he conid prove that this was the case end, if he
dirt, he must be retitled to their verdict. He thee
proceeded to call his witnesses.
John Thomas proved the acceptance of the bill,
and the leiod-wriung of the Defeo/14ot, a the
drawer.
Jame; Alexander Miller deposed, that he pre.
'elated the bill to Mr. Jones, the acceptor, agik
was dishonoured ; and that about three malleffile
ofterwerds hr went, in company with a Mr. Keidan4
to the Defendant, to demand the payment. ohs

Reeland replied,. that the Platutiff wished ;Ira.
the Defendants to pay it. He answered, .011011
Jones did not, he certainly would ; it ovoid met be

ing-house and settle it. Ties .cnnveisstioa tuck

Alexander Keelend corruhurated the testimony
Of the last witness.
Mr. ATTORNET.GENEAAI. conteadeal, on the
part of the Defenda.ua, that he could not be liable.
as he had not received due noti,•e of the hill being
dishonoured. The conVer•al1011 alluded to by the
Plaintiff's witnesses could not be lending, as the
Defendant was at the time uncertain whether. the
bill had or had not been paid by Jones. It was not
produced during the conversation, and the De-
fendant only answered generally, that he would in-
quire into the circtunstauces and have them settled.
Ile would prove this by Mr. Jones.
Mr. Jones deposed, that, when the bill became
der, he was unable to take it up; he asked the
Plaintiff hir time, which lie granted; he was in-
delited to the Defetulaut, at the titre, between
and .5001.
On his cross-exernivation by Mr. GARROW, he

Defendant to have paid it, as he had the proceeds

Mr. •GaltliOar replied, and. enimadverted on the
evidence of the last witness, a:ad contended, that the
Jury should not,give him credit.

of giving any account of the oceurences at those
places, though they are not devoid of interest.—
After remaining four or five days at Sooloo. they
sailed for Malacca. where they arrived in Decem-
ber last. At Malacca, Captain Dalrymple and
Bruce went on shore. The latter was anxious to
see the Governor or Commanding Officer, to state
his grievances, but as it was late in the evening
when he landed, he could not see him till the fol..
lowing morning, by which time Captain Dalrymple
had weighed from Malacca roads. leaving Bruce
on shore, and carrying off his wife on board the
Wellesley to Peuang.
Bruce acquainted the Commanding Officer at
Malacca with his case, and expressed his wish to
regain his wife and to return with ber to New Zee-
laud. The Commanding Officer endeavoured to
console him; desired that he would patiently wait
at Malacca. for a short time. as some ships might
probaley touch there, on their passage from Hemel
to New South Wale., by which he would procure a
passage for himself and his wife; and that, in the
mean time, he would write to Penang. desiring that
his wife should be returned to her husband at Ma-
lacca. After waitiug for 3 or 4 weeks, accuants were
received of Capt. Dalryinple's arrival at Peoung ;
upon- which Bruce obtained the Commantlin. 01%-
cer's permission, and left Malecca in the Spurge
gumbrig, for Penang, where, upon his erridl. lie
found that his wife had been bartered-suing to
Capt. Ross. On waiting upon the Goverviiir.wf

th, ill treatment he had experienced ? /rip pnewer-

As we were nowilhng to interrupt the course of
the preceding narrative by any matter not imme-
diately ennuected with the parties, we reserved, for
this place. a short account of the natnral produce
of New Zealand ; an account that mast be coral.

satisfying himself on the points to which he speaks.
Bruce, our present inforumet, relates, that New
Zealand abounds with a great variety of useful ties.

rests are of great extent, and ilesiHsi cOnsidered as
inexhaustible. Flax slid' Kemp, which are both
indigenous to that country, grow in the utmost peas

these plants, some of which is cultivated, but mush
the greater part is of spontaneoire growth. The

Mines of different valuable metals are known to
exist in the iaterior. Specimens of their ores have
been obtained ; but, from the total ignorance of the
people Ui =teeth:raper in any other art of civilised
countries. their wines remain anwrought. hoe
ores arc fend in great abundance; and with these
the natives paint bath themselves and their canoes.

their garden vegetables. They have a plant some-
what reirembling a fern, with a large farinaceous
root, which. when roasted. is a pleasant, wholesome
food, and is a most excellent substitute for bread.
They have also fruit trees, °some of which are indi-
gentles, others are exotic. The orange and the
perch have both been introduced from the Cape of
Good Hope, and are in a very thriving way.
Breeds of *wine and ;goats have. heels lately
brought into New Island, and are increasing ra-
pidly. Fish they possess in greet variety and pro.

frequented by immense quantities of herrings.—

tuous weather that can be &imagined, particularly
on Friday morning, whirs there was a must violent
gale of wind from the southwani, accompanied with
ball and sleet, which was followed by a very heavy
nuu. On Friday craning, there was a rely aerial
storm of thunder sod liOttaing, such as, perhaps, ,
was never witnessed kin at this season of the year;
the letter was uncommohly 'Arid; and the peals of
thunder were exceedingly loud. and in rapid sec-
cession. It centime/L. "pith bilk intermission, the
whole night. Seversd,ehilaneye bare been blows
down, roofs damaged. Itc. ; but, we are happy to
add, that we do not hear of any personal injury
having been sustained amongst the several instant*,
of imminent danger. We kern that a great deal
of snow has fallen in the interior of the country,
which, it is supposed, has impeded the travelling of
the post in some parts. It as timid to be lying la
drifts of sine fret deep in sonic places on the east
side of this county, and the adjoining part of
