ANOTHER POEM' EXPEDITION.

In addition to the official statttncut from I:eneral Codd,
following particulars have been received of another

. This rant consisted of above one hundred aetthra, who
went maunder siinilar prvipects and representations to those which
had induced the others to emigrate.
On Wednesday the brig Skeene, which took out the last consi-
derable party, arrived at Blackwell, and landed fourteen unfortu-
nate emigrants, amongst whom were two widows with their A: chil-
dren and an orphan, in the moat deplorable state of wretchedness
and suffering front the effects of the climate. This brig, we learn,

The Captain stated that he could not land the wretched people,
and accordingly went on to Belize, but here he found nothing no-
thing else but disease and misery, the description of which is
truly Wert-rending. The pawns of the wretched widows and
their children sufficiently attest their misery.
• The utmost maim is given to Captain Wilson, who, on one
particular occasion of an accident during the voyage, by great
bravery preserved the ship, and he throughout acted towards the
emigrants with all the care and beret•olence that might he ex-
pected from a brave humane titan, and au utficer of his Majesty's
navy. • .
Mammon-110r itr.—Yesteidar several of the above unfortunate
persons, who returned In the Skcene, attended before the Lord
Mayor, and detailed the methods which had been resorted to to
induce them to embark for the Poyaia territory, and the wretched-
ness and disease which awaited them at the land of promise. The
statements made to the Lord Mayor were exactly similar to these
published some time Attlee. One of the emigrants stated, that it
was highly necessary to publish the ease: as two other ships were
now &vitally fitting nut fisr a similar voyage. The cases of the un-
fortunate widows and children above mentioned were particularly
alluded to, as the individual were greatly distressed. His Lord-
ship sail he had no doubt that by publicity being given to the ease,
relief would be afforded.

The late Paris Papers contain an account of 'an extra-
ordinary pastoral letter from the Ciudinal Bishop of Tou-
louse, dated ROACH, ISth October. It is addressed to the
Clmy, and to the faithful of the diocese governed by the,
Cardinal, and contains his instructions and the expression
his sentiments. According to the Cuoistitmliunnel, the
Cardinal announces that be &mires to re-ettablish eccle-
lest discipline and common rights, as they existed
. the Revolution. Hunan power," he says, " has
sing more to do with the discipline of the Church, than
ith its doctrines, its morality, or its moments."
Extract of a letter received from Manilla, bearing date
the 2.ith of June. 1823 :—" You will no doubt have
learned, by way of Mace°, of the revolt of a part of a Re-
giment, which broke ontlere on the 4th of June. The
Governor, 'Martinez, put an end to it in a few hours with
the intrepidity of a true soldier; the punishment was
prompt and severe, and proportioned to the crime—twenty-
three persons, of whom two wete officers, and twenty-one
\cc serjcants, were immediately shot, as the accomplices
tail promoters of this affair ; but through a wise policy with
relation to the actual situation of the colony, the soldiers
awl corporals were all pardoned. There are divers opinions
expressed here as to the cause of this insurrection ; how-
ever, the most general opinion is, that it might have been
expected from the train of events which have already
taken place, and aen tain spirit of inquietude, inclining to
Liberalism on the of the Metiase. (who arc the de- I
seendautsof the Chinese by native women,) worked upon
b 7 some unskilful person, who wished to profit by it, in
°flier to serve his own ambitieus views, or to gratify
his vengeance, but with too touch precipitation, from
sdfich resulted his fall. There are even at present come
levy strange reports in circulation, which render rigorous
'lberian.* necessary."
