eard•sl Prime Minister, is still in the e2nAdecte of Al*
Kluo, and guides, behind the curtain, the m.asurcs of tbo
new Administration : but those best instructed in, the true
state of affairs, treat this idle insinuation as it deserves:
The letters state,—and they are from the best B.6preet of
authority,—that the new Ministers *ere appointed through
the influence of Sir W. A'Cocier, and having bad the 11414
dress to succeed in placing a new Ministry at the head sC
affairs, we think he is not likely to suffer any indioldual ort
.the discarded list, to frustrate in secret the whole object at•
his policy. It is believed, and upon very good grounds)`
*hat the Count de SUOSERI• is to praxes to London al
'ortuguese Ambassadcr. This a.4angemerit; his easy to
perceive, may be reconcileable with the soundest politica/
prudence. It at least removes him from the sphere of in:-
trigue, and takes away any influence which he might
have t:pon the spot, in forming any countet.-combinatiois

Private letters from Zsnte, to the Sth Jannary, itat6
that all dissensions amongst the Greek Chiefs and the GO-
vernment,. were put down, and. that the GovnmCnt bad
,sobtained a complete and setleil preponderance. Val.
watt, the individual who wks known to be the Rturdan
,Etnistaryin the Mores, had fled to the lonian Islands, as
'bad also the rebellious Chiefs ZAT andNno. Co.
LOCOTXONT had submitted to the Government. It alas
appears that the English inguence had gained a decided
ascendency in the blares; this will have the effect oe con,
tentrating the zeal and talent of ;lose who take tIP)e lead,
and of giving stability to the system under which their po•
litical independence has been hitherto co effectively aro:
nized.

The adjourned debate in the House of Common* •
specting the Irish Associations was continued I:t.st trishp
At one o'clock this morning Mr. BROLGIIAM moved **-
adjournment till Monday. On this question there Imo
two ilivis.tons in succession, and, finally* it was agreed
that the further adjournment should take place. The
principal speeches were those of Mr. PLUNK err and Mr.
TIERNEY. The former was one df the most strecer:sful end,
impicisive pieces of eloquence we ever heard. The defence
of his political consistency wsi*pre-erninenrly tr-ilimphant,
The passages in Which, when out of power in Ibl3, Le
condemned the factious proceedings of the Catholic Cub
of that day, seemed to have been spoken almost propheti-
cally in anticipation of the recent conduct of the present Ca-
tholic Association. The tone of the !tight Hon. and Learned. •
Gentleman's Speech was peculiarly frank and liberal, 11114
evidently produced a deep and lasting impression on the
House. The proposed Bill, he stated, would net irterfere
with any popular privilege known to the Constitution. He
acqcitted the Catholics of all turbulent disposition in act
or intent. Their proceedings tended to collect materials of
mischief, which would explode when the first opportunity
occurred.

The proprietors of the Levant Ccmpany assembled yes-

tion of the Company. His Lordship returned them thanks
for the honour they had so long conferred upon htm, as

that, in dissolving the Company, Government entertained
no feeling of hostility towards them, but that the liberal
policy of his Majesty's Ministers, in widely extending
trade, had alone led to the dissolution of the Company.

PRICK OF litom.—We hear from Birmingham that con.
siderable inconvenience is felt there from the great and
sudden rise of the price of iron. The price is now such,
as not only to make cowetition with foreign manufacturer*
difficult, but to render The execution of large orders which
have been actually given, impossible. 'lmmense order* •
from foreign agents, especially from America, have beers
made at a price at which, from the present price of iron,
the goods cannot be supplied.
