A letter from Vienna of the lath of March says, it would be dif-
ficult to describe the state of our capital for tome days put. The
people, who from the first notice of the Emperor's illness, crowded
to the Court.yaol of the Palate, and even into the Anti-chamber
of the Sovereign, to !tarn the coments of the bulletins, and to the
churches, where the multitude implored with the most ardent prayers
the pees trvution of the life of their beloved Monarch, gave loose to
the ormst lively jay as soon as it was declared that the danger was
p ed. The nrowd:. which went to the church of St. Stephen, where
Tc Dram was performed oa the happy occasion, was such that a
vast number of persons could scarcely enter, and there were at the
doors 1,290 Noblemen's and Gentlemen's carriages, besides an in-
tini:e number of hackney coaches.
Three salutes of artillery ar.d volleys of rottattuetry announced
this happy event to the Inhabitants of she environs.
Dr. Standeoheirner, who, at the critical moment; was brought by
the Empress into his 31ajtaty.'s apartment, and after having held a

relief, has received a valuable snuff box from the Empress.
General Count Guilletninot arrived yesterday evening. This

audience of the King.
Accounts from Bucharest of 11.11 of March, say that on the god

AIIOS2UNG, MANCH 020.

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)

We have been in the greateht constcrna:ion here for some days,
on account of the alarming news of the Muria of the Emperor of
Austria. As the official bulletins give but an imperfect knowledge
of the dangers which have threatened the life of their Sovereign, I
will add all the details that I have been able to eollcct, not only
respecting the illness whidi had nearly carried off the tniparor,
but also to the remoter causes which led to it ; anti lastly, to the
political causes which the death of Francis I. may one day produce.

For several years past the constitution of Prince has been vial.
bly impaired, but it was particularly during his late stay at Freeburg
that the disorder assumed a decided character. The physicians call
his disorder a phthysical fever, asserting, however, that the life of
his Itlajesty may be prolonged many years. A careful regimen, to
which his Majesty is accustomed, and, above all, a pure and salu-
brious air, are however indispensable to prolong his life, as well as
to avoid the sudden attacks to which he was subject at certain sea-
Sons of the year. The climate of Vienna not being quite suitable.
because it is at all times rigorous anti often variable, we see why
there was. and still is, an idea of a visit to Italy, and even of fixing
the Imperial residence in that beautiful country, either in one of
the great cities of Austria, Lombardy, or Florence, which has par.
ticular recommendations, both as his Alajesty's native city and on
account of the purity and salubrity of its atmosphere. As for the
political consequences to which the death of the Emperor would
lead, there are various reports in circulation respecting the person
of his eventual successor. According to that which enjoys the most
credit, though we are far from warranting Its authenticity, the Arch.
duke Ferdinand, the Emperor's eldest son, who. as heir apparent
to the throne, has the title of Prince Imperial, has renounced
it before Amid, this Prince being too fond of a studious life
not to sacrifice to it every kind of ambition, even that
of one day wearing one of the greatest Crowns in Europe.
It is pretended that an set of resignation, signed by this Prince, is
deposited in the archives of the several kingdoms which compose
the Austrian 31onarchy. It is added, that stipalations to this
effect are coatained in the act signed at Teg.rrsee, on the marriage
of the Archduke Francis Charles, the Emperor's socand sou, to
the Princess :Sophia of Bavaria, and that the l'rince will imme•
finitely succeed the Emperor Francis. Lastly, people go so far as
to affirm that the Prince Imperial had already taken orders, and
intends to till a high station In the Church. None of these trans.
actions would be made public.

But whatever may happen, and whoever may be heir to the
Crown of Francis, all well-informed persons, and whose situation
enables them to judge of things closely, agree that no change if
the Monarch, if it should happen, would altezt in any manner the
political system of the Cabinet of Vienna, and that the able states-
man who directs its Councils would retain his eminent post.

Since the fall of the Castle, the improvements that have been made
for convenience and embellishment appear like the effect of magic.
Our informant states that a body of troops sailed front Vera t ruz

Extract from the journal of the privaie Pchnoner of the Republic
of eulonnbia. Trinidad. commanded by Ciptsiii C. IL Johnson,
whilst in the port of Tangier, belonging to the empire of Mo-
rocco : _ _ .

" The schooner Trinidad, anchored in the hay of Tangier on
the 9th of lest November. at three o'clock in the afternoon. At
four, she was visivel by the Pon Captain, who saluted the Captain
on behalf of the Bey, expressing his good wishes, and pleasure lie
would thence from seeing him on shore. On the 10th Captain
Johnson landed, and paid a visit to the Bey, who received him with
great kindne'.a, assuring him of the pleasure it gave him to see the
Colombian flag in his harbour. On the following day, the Bey
gave directiona for supplying the schooner with provisions and
water, in spite of the effinta of the Spanish and French Consuls to
prevent it. The former threatened to strike his flag and return to
Spain Wows were admitted in the pert. The Rey Malt:Him re-
plied with firmness and resolution, that lie might withdraw, /trill
tell the King hls master, that the ocean was large enough for the
settlement or his difrerenee aith the Americans. He sent direc-
tions for hoisting his flag on all the batteries, in honor of Colombia,
and that any salute fired by the schooner, should be returned,
stating that he owed in the vessel the same hospitality as to
those of ether nations. The English and American Consuls, shoo
haired their colours on the occasion, and used their utmost Influ-
ence to sustain the honour and character of our flag; and they as
well as the Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, and Sardnian Consuls,
formally declared Colombia to be a free and independent nation.—
On the 13th Capt. Johnson repeated his visit to the Rey, who as-
sured him of the friendship of his government and of the ?Worts lie
would make to induce the Emperor his master, to establish the most
cordial relations with our fiovemment. The English and Ameri-
can Consuls made him the like assurances; with the latter of whom
he had an am:cable correspondence respecting the protection given
by the Temidati to Moorish property on board of Spanish vessels.
In short, the Bev Mahomet, who is a man of talent, frank and
liberal in his deportment, gave Capt. Johnson evident proof of his
attachment to Colombia, by the most friendly assurances, of per-
ntitting no occasion to pass, without protecting and honouring to
the utmost, all vessels belonging to the Republic. Captain John-
son states that the Rey sent hint despatches for our Government.
but he was obliged from stress of weather to quit the coast before
their arrival. lie states further, that a Colombian Agent is greatly
desired at Tangiera, and that the Consuls of England, America,
and Guatimala, have communicated the foregoing occurrences to
their respective Governments."
PUERTO CAVELLO, JAN. 26.
_ .

An set of piracy, the most horrible that can well in imagined,
was committed on this enact on the night of the 24th instant. A
German, named Frederick. who KW arrived with cocoa front Cho.
ron, was rettlening thither with four thousand dollars in gold, and
had' with him his wife, who had been spending some days in Puerto
Cabello. This unfortunate woman lied had with her her beat
jewels, as is customary on such occasion.; two other women also
accompanied her to Cliorony. Frederick anchored as usual off the
island called " Del Rey' to stop during the early part of the
night. At eight o'clock they were surprised by about ten persons
from Borburata, led on by one Julian !berm alias Iztueta ; these
villains fell on them, and assassinated the three women and two
sailors. Frederick jumped into the sea, end had the rod fortune
to reach the shore, where he lay concealed until the brigands with•
drew. fie then returned to the boat, in which lie proceeded intim.
diately to this port, bringing with him the killed and wounded,
amounting to six, all of whom wire buried yesterday, the wounded
having died a few days after their arrival. It filled one with hoe_
roe to behold these unfortunate wretches coveted with stabs.
Colonels Cala, Brognier, and Esteves, immediately despa.ched a
nether', with troops, to Borburata, under the command of Captain
Baptista, who after apprehending Julian and three of his accont•
pikes. returned hither yesterday morning. These villains are to
be forthwith tried by the Admiralty Court, and will doubtless suf-
Ter death in a few days.

We do not know the principles of it, but it appears to have been

A private letter from Potosi says that Bolivar has 16,000 troops
of the line, and munitions in plenty, and the means of doubling
that number, so that he could now repeat his late campaigns.
The Brazilian squadron, on the 30th of November, contained
the tollowing vessels:—Three schooners in the port of Sandu, two

two launches towards the Uruguay, a schooner and a gan-boat at
the mouth of the river Negro, two brigs and two gun-boats in the

new gun-boats belonging to the United Provinces lay at Buenos

The patriot privateer Las/ADO' had eaptured off Itio Grande a

country on the Salado river.
SILVER MINE.—The seventh number of the Dceada eiranearia
contains the following article:—By many creditable letters from
Serena, under date of the 13th and 14th of September, we are
assured that the greater part of the mineral lately discovered there,
merit, the scientific name of native silver. It extends in serpentine
directions for twelve or thirteen leagues, and, from the vein which
wits discovered by the woodmen, minerals have been dug out in 20
days, which are worth more than half a million of dollars. It is
estimated that in the course of a year, from the four mine. since
discovered. and which are evidently a cont!ntration of the first, not
les!. :h .n five millions of dollars will be obtained.

The spejmens brought to this metropolis present the metal not
mineral :el, but rather mixed with a little titian z and a great deal
of fellow, the quantity of metal, however, exrecding that of pet.
na. tire rock. Unless the accounts from Coquimbo are very much
esso rate I, the value of !Silver must soon depreciate in the commer-
i I wort I, and that of gold be raised. In the mean time the Chi.
Ilan tattoos have a right to hope that the governors will take every
p (caution to prsvett the exportation of a single ton of this are-
comi metal to u Erope. It deserves the name of the ComMillnin
metal, and ought to be all coined in this Republic. If any other
course should be adopted, it would scarcely be worth more in a
year than the quarries of marble or porphyry discovered at San-
a:a within the past year. And, In the midst of this surprize—
hi. fever, which has been produced by the discovery of such pro-
d gious mores, is there not to be found a statesman in Chili, who
c n avail t int-elf of the state of things likely to ensue, to make
srrangernt nts with a campany of miners to pay off our ruinous
London ton ?

" %Pe have been expecting a blockade for some time by the

The present Session will be memorable for the statutes
passed in amendment of our penal code. We adverted yes-
terday to the Bill for the improved administration of the
criminal law. Another Bill is just printed, as amended
by the Committee, " for consolidating and amending the
laws of England relative to larceny, and certain other
offences, respecting property."
It has not been hitherto very easy to enumerate the vast
variety of offences which are made felony by our laws,
much less to refer to them with any readiness, from the
perplexed manlier in which they lay dispersed throughout
our voluminous body of statutes. Thepresent Bill repeals
upwards of ninety of these statutes, after extracting from
them what was deemed useful, and improving what it has
extracted. It will have the effect of removing a vast
incumluance from our criminal code, and of reducing into
method what before was wholly without system or arrange-
ment. It tnitm have been no slight labour to dig among
such rude and confused materials,—to brim! them into form
and order,— and to separate what was redundant and worth-
less, from what was valuable and worthy to be retained•

Mr. PEEI. has judged wisely as to the inflitence which the
progress of knowledge has on the principles of legislation,
and he has taken the truly popular course of embodying that
influence, and giving it a practical a.id permanent effect.
The Bill now before the public is a proof of this. He
had already done much, and, instead of relaxing the
exertions of his industry in this line of service, every
recent Session has enlarged the sphere of his usefuliii es.
Under our present enlightened Rulers the dread of inno-
vation seems to have died away. Whether in criminal
jurisprudence, or in political economy, or in whatever re-
lates to the science of commerce or of government, the
various errors of former legislators have been ably exem-
plified, and the defective principles of former systems have
been openly exposed. The inclination that manifested
itself of old to rest everything upon arbitary authority,
is fast disappearing, and a law, or a principle, that is found
by long experience to be productive of evil, finds no longer
any support on the mere ground of its antiquity. It is
easy to pet ceive the effect which this must have on the
general welfare of the community, which is the ultimate
object of all laws, and which can never be so effectually
attained as by that system which it is the great praise of
the Hour SECRE TA RY to have so ably and so consistently
pursued. The Statesman that disarms a single defective
institution of its power to do mischief, renders a service
to the public that no praise can over-rate. In the case
before ua it is a bad system that is reformed, and the value
of the service will be appreciated accordingly.
We have not thought it necessary to enumerate in detail
the different enactments of the present Bill, as the great
variety of heads which it embraces would carry us to too
great a length. There are several suggestions which occur
to us in going through it, hut we shall defer putting them
on paper till we have considered them more leisurely.

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.

The operations on the Stock Exchanges were attended
with more bustle and activity to-day than hare been noticed
there for several days past, and a very unusual improve-
ment took place in the prices. Consols, which, for
upwards of a week past, have remained in the almost sta-
tionary position of 781 1, opened this morning with a firm
appearance at 781, and continued, throughout the day,
gradually to improve until they reached 79i 1, at which
price they closed.
It is almost needless to observe that this progressive
im-
provemeut gave rise to a variety of rumours, and so eager
was every person to listen to, and industriously circulate,
all the slight reports which were put forth, that it would
occupy too much space to recapitulate one half of them.
The most important feature which occupitd attention, and
the only one which maintained its ground, was, the gene-
rally-understood intention of the Bank not to fund, ar the
present moment, the amount of Exchequer Bills placed in
its hands for its advances previously made to Government;
and the consequent determination of the CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER not to make any use of the remainder of
' the Parliamentary grant of the present Session, for the re-
lief of the money market ; thus rendering unnecessary that
measure, which, in the onset, was considered rather as a
matter of precaution and assistance than otherwise, and at
the same time retaining in the coffers of the Treasury the
sum thus voted. Doubts were in the first instance entertained
as to the truth of this statement, several monied men al-
leging that it was altogether futile and unreasonable to
suppose that, in the present distress at.l dearth of capital,
the Bank would willingly forego the possession of that
which, in a number of instances, they e:•tld convert to
a more profitable employment. To this, however, it
was answered, that the hank had already in its pos-
session more capital than they could safely cu, ploy.
They had plenty of applicants for it, it was true, hut
they were not of that description which it was disposed to
assist, and it was resolved rather to retain their money than
part witbit, upon the terms proposed, to the individuals ap-
plying. A public convenience bad been tendered, but it
had not been accepted, and the Bank was not inclined to
receive paper for the use of that for which it expected a more
stable commodity for. All attempts, however, to depress
the market were altogether unavailing. Money is deci-
dedly plentiful, if good borrowers will apply for it, and
confidence is daily improving. This latter circumstance
may he mainly attributed to the regular payment of the lu•o
months paper, which was given at the commencement of
the recent crisis ; the greater part of which, with some un-
important and trifling exceptions, has hien faithfully
honoured.

The Consols market closed at the price we have quoted
above, with a very promising aspect. Exchtquer Bills
were 3a. 4s. 2s. 3s. prem.: and India Bonds Is. prem.
The advance in the Foreign market has also been consi-
derable, particularly in South American Securities. The
principal cause for this emrovement is said to he, that a
deputation of gentlemen connected with these Republics is
in France, attempting to negotiate for the payment of the
interest on the loan for a series of years. But it is easy,
independently of this report, to find a cans? for the ad-
vance, via. the very high rate of interest which these Seen-
ricks bear. Colombian Stock, for instance, offers nearly
12 per cent, and (if the Republic which has issued it be
now or hereafter solvent) a payment of nearly double the
capital advanced at the present prices. These prospective
advantages, as a spirit of speculation revives, conalter-
Imlances the uncertainties as to punctuality. Colombian
Bonds were to-day 5t 34; Mo.ican Six per Cents. closed
at 691, having previously touched 7011. Chilian Bonds
were M. Indeed all Transatlantic stocks were higher, ex-
cepting Peruvian Bonds, which declined to 29 81, by reason
of a report that there was some demur as to the payment
of the next dividend. Danish Bonds were 5941: Russian
ditto 80; Spanish I ; and Greek Bonds I 7a.
There appeared iikew6e a (kmand for South American
Mining Shares, and the quotations were consequently
higher.

It is stated by a correspondent, in the Brigid lf irror of
Saturday, that there has not been one application to the
Hank of England for an advance of money on gootht from
that city.

We are most happy to have to announce this week that
the banks of Messrs. Michell and Co. (Old Bank)„ and
Messrs. Tamplin and Co. (County Bank) resumed their
payments on Monday last, a circumstance which has pro-
(lured, we need scarcely say, the greatest satisfaction in the
town. The money thus put into circulation will, at this
dull season of the year especially, be a very seasonable ad-
vantage to the public; and we cannot but express the high
sense that is entertained of the honourable manner in
which both the above firms have acted. The County Bank
pays the whole of its engagements; the Old Bank pays its
notes at present, at.d the balance and deposit creditors by
instalments. A public meeting of the creditors of the Old
Bank was held on Thursday last, at which the statement
of their affairs submitted to the meeting was so gratifying,
that the resolution was come to of re-commencing their
payments as above on Monday. A piece of plate was also
voted to the partners, but from the following letter which
was sent to Mr. Ricardo, and submitted to the Committee
appointed for the purpose of carrying the measure alluded
to into effect, and at whose request we give it insertion, it
will be seen that those gentlemen have declined the honour.
" DEAN St u—We entreat you will accept sue best thanks for
your kind exertions with our other Itient!s at the Meeting on
l'hursday, and we know not in what terms to express our grati-
tude to you and them tor the very flattering manner in which the
vote for presenting us with a piece of plate was conveyed, while,
however, it will be a auhject of pride to us, that our creditors have
considered us thus entitled to their favourable opinion, yet we trust
we shall be exonerated from any improper feeling if may ven-
ture to suggest that in the expression of the confidence of our ere-
(Woes we arc most amply gratified, and that it is our wish that we
may be allowed to rest on the kindness of their intentions only, and
that no further proceedings may take place relative to the plate.
