sight, that now begins to be unfolded. %%e see
every where Kings congreiting on the Continent to
defeat the independence of the people, and we
have on every occasion additional reason to be
thankful for our own good fortune in having
our liberties ascertained by precise laws, not de-
pendant upon the will of Kings, but resting upon
the secure basis of our own deteinnuation to be free.
This recent event in 'Hanover epeaks volumes to
the too confiding gentlemen, indisiduals of this
country, and most prove to them that the character
of their rulers, however estimable, is no security for
the gene►al freedom of the state. To whom could
we intrust our rights and privileges with more con-
fidence than to the PRINCE REGENT of England ?
and yet what assurance have we that his Royal
Highness might not share the feelings and senti-
ments of the PRINCE REGENT of Hanover, said by
an edict destroy in one moment the venerable in-
stitutsous that have now lasted for ages ?

a The Foxhound has brought advice. from New
South Wales to the 13th of June, which contain a
General Order, dated Government House, Sydney,
May 31st, 1819, in which his Excellency announces
the discovery of a very valuable country westward
of the Blue Mountains, bl► the personal exertions
of CHARLES THROSDY, Esq. This new discovered
land extends from the Cow Pastures to Bathurst,
and is represented with few exceptions, rich, fertile,
and luxuriant ; abounding with fine rims of water,
and all the happy varieties of soil, hill, and valky,
to render it not only delightful to the •iew, but
highly suitable to all the purposes of pasturage and
agriculture.
By the Shipley. that had sailed on the Ist of
April, but has set yet arrived, between two and
three hundred troops writ sent home, which has
left the colony with a force of only fire hundred
men for its protection. The number was deemed
inadequate tor the purpose, and the settlers (in
other respects going on prosperously) were in
anxiety and alarm on that account. An increase of
military force has been long expected by the colony,
as well as a brig of war at Sydney. All the bene.
volent in.titutions, especially she Orphan School,
founded by the excellent Lady of their former
Governor, Capt. KING, are producing the best
effects on the rising generation.

The funds have remained in a state of deprevsion
during the whole week. The altered state of the
country, the distress of trade and commerce, the
diminution in the revenue, and the pospect of an
increase of the public expenditure, with the exist-
ing internal troubles, are presumed to co-operate
in producing tins depression in the public funds.
