Continent, u we have already remarked, is not such at this
moment as to lessen the alarm which their bigotry and
fair ambition bas so strongly revived. It is scarcely pos-
sible for philanthropy to contemplate their proceedings in
France and in Spain, without breathing out her universal
good-will to man in curses against so cruel and remorelem
a superstition. With ey, iv this age of reasoning, the ab-
horrence which their intolerant spirit excites may prevent it
from spreading, and Ireland may be quite safe from its
ipOntagion ; but as Protestants it is well that we should
keep our eye upon its progress, The could it exist here in
equal force, and act with equal energy, it would persecute,
oar Church Establishment to extinction. It is this tear,
that, whether well or ill grounded, leads the majority on
&beide the Channel to look with distrust on the federative
anion of five millions of Irish Catholics ; and this distrust
must necessarily be augmented by any apparent inclination
on their part to carry their point by faction or by force.
Those Irish Journals which speak so strongly of the
renewal of the Association and the Rent, act in the spirit
of adversaries of the cause they mean to support. If we
should wax at last to think that it is out best policy to
accept of the many broad hints they are daily giving us of
the strength of the Catholics, the measures of precaution
which such menaces would warrant, would be such as we
suspect would place the success of their claims at an im-
measurable distance, and would leave them a long interval
to repent of, having lost by their rashness all the ground
they had gained by their moderation.
The Howe of Commas sat last night only a few bows.
The (ray tattiness of importance was, that Mr. Huse ISION
broukht up the Report of the Committee appointed to
twitch the Journals of the House of Lords respecting the
progress of the Warehoused Corn Bill. The Right Hon.'
Gentleman gave notice that he should this day move for
leave to being in another Bill on that subject, and also for
regulating the importation of Corn from Canada.

In the Foreign Market the principal attention was attracted to

Accounts have been received from Lima of the 3d, and
from Guayaquil of the 90th of February. Callao was close-
ly blockaded ; four sail of Cbilian vessels of war, and two
1 caring Colombian colours, were before the place. The'
storming of the fort was expected to be attempted in a few
days.--Thae had been great mortality amongst the troops
which bad come to Guayaquil, from Panama ; 1800 were
reported to have died; the remainder of them had been
sent in transports to assist in the attack on Callao.
The Supplement to the Calcutta Government Gazette, of
the 7th of k ebruary, contains a detailed account of the sue-
t:mild operations of the troops under the command of Co-
lonel Richards, in Assam. The success of these operations
bad the effect of driving the enemy upon Jorehat, which
place they have since abandoned, burning the stockades, and
have concentrated their whole force, scarcely 2,000 strong,
at Rungpore, the capital of Eastern MUM. It is now
known certainly, that the late Burman Governor of Assam,
called the Boors Raja, and his son, bad been put to death
by the adherents of Sam Pbookun, previously to their
alandoningrJorehat.
The Duke of Bedford Indianan has arrived. She sailed
from Bombay 6n the 27th of January, and after having
touched at Tillicherry and Ceylon, quitted the Cape on
the lath April, and St. Helena on the 27th April. She
has brought letters from Ceylon dated the 19th February,
but they contain no news. The Castle Forbes has also
arrived; but her communications, both from the Mauri-
tius and St. Helena, are of a very old date.
The following is an extract of a priiste letter from
Paris :—" In order to cover the ungracious refusal of the
King to attend the ball purposed to be given by the Duke
of North umberli.nd, in honour of the Coronation) we are
stow told that a similar refusal was made to the Austrian
and Russian Ambassadors.—The Duchess of Northum-
berland, taking it for granted that here, as in Englrinti, the',
wives of the Ambassadors would form a portion of the,
splendid company at the Coronation, provided, at an enor-
mous expense, a dress which would have done honour to
her rank, and to the official character of her husband. On
the eve of her departure for Rheims, she was informed
that no accommodation had been provided for the wives of
the Ambassadors, but that as her Grace wished to attend, a
seat would be placed for her in the Tribune of the Diplomatic
Body. Whether her Grace considered that a plan had
been contrived to render her appearance singular, or that her'
delicacy alone suggested to her the impropriety of a single
female appearing in so prominent a st.aion, amongst a
body of men, appearing only in an official capacity, re-
mains unknown ; but she very naturally declined to avail
herself of the offer.—From all that 1 could collect from a
quarter where 1 am not likely to be misinformed, our Am-
bassador Extraordinary has not received officially those at.
tendons to which his rank, the nature of his mission, and
the particular circumstances of his personal sacrifices, enti-
tled him to. At Rheims, although honoured by the spe-
cial notice of the King, who seemed rather ashamed of
the conduct of his Minis:era, the general feeling towards
the Duke was anything but
Letters from the Cape of Good Hope, dated the 6th of
April, mention that Mr. Bresler, one of the Members of
the Court of Justice, had committed suicide. The Co..
vernar had returned from his journey into the interior.

A XSTIIIDSII Qua a as.----A rather singular circumstance
her lately happened at Amsterdam. Some Quaker pro-
prietors of a house in that city had let it for a length of
time, on condition of not having anything to do with the
repairs, &e. After fourteen years had elapsed, they wished
to take the property into their own hands, but the occupier
opposed them, asserting he had acquired the right of pro-
perty by prescription. Amicable propositions were made
but rejected, and the Quakers were obliged to have re-
course to the law, which decided in their favour • but
when the execution of the ejectment was to be put
in execution, the occupier prepared to resist, and barri-
caded the doors. A police-officer, accompanied by two
locksmiths and his assistants, were in consequence sent.
The summons to abandon the house was made in due form,
and the locksmiths were about to open the door, wizen a
notary popped his head out of the window above, and pro.
tested in proper form against their proceedings. His
threats shook their relblution, and each time they were
ordered by the police-officer to break open the door, the
notary thundered above. But at last a great crowd collect-
ina, and joining with the besiegers, the besieged, seeing
ell hopes of victory vanished, vanished themselves by
means of a back door, and thus abandoned the house to ite
( tns,ters, the Quakers.
