communicatnl to the French Ministry, a Cabinet Council
WAS held, at whi.h it was determined to offer co-operation
against these Pirates. It was currently rumoured in Paris, '
on Wetter sday last, that such an offer wits made to Sir
Charles Smart on the preAaling day. This rumour ex-
cited soine interest, as it was generally suppmed to have
for its old. et the exercise of the navy, without alarming
the jealousy of England.

Extract of a letter ficein Tampico, Mexico, dated De-

a most pleasin_ asp. ct. The new Congress has been in-
stalled, and a Committee, appointed for the purpose, have
reported the project of a law, which will no doubt lie
accepted by the rcop!e, founded upon the Federal Repub-
!leen system. Tue Revolt:it: is to be divided into l.' State

chists. A treaty of amnesty and commi ree has been con-
cluded with the Government and the Republic of Co-
lombia."

C.% ve X ELF e rto e.—The election for Cavan commenced
on Monday. The county town was crowded to excess.
The High Sheriff, Colimel Clements, proposed Henry
1 Maxwell, Esq. which was seconded by Major 'I-. Burrows,
of Stradone. The Sheriff was about to put the question,
when a freeholder forced hit way to the table, on which
the candidate and his friends were standing, and, after a
short emphatic expression of his own opinions and that of
the indepetident freeholders of Cavan, on the unfitness of
Lord Farnhatn'e nephew to represent the county of Cavan,
proposed Charles Coote, of Bellamont Forest, Esq. to re-
' present the country in Parliament. The sensation pro-
duced was electric. The Sheriff' having put the question,
a greet majority appeared for .Ir. C!oute, and Mr. Max-
well demanded a poil. The election was then adjourned
to ‘Vednealay, when no one appearing on the part of Mr.
Caere, Mr. Maxwell was dec!ared duly elected, and wee
chaired through the town. It is reported that there will
be a petition against Mr. Maxwell's return.
Texaeriox areetert to THE Pooe.—Several Mem-
ben of the Corporation have met for the purpose of elis-
causing the propriety of signing a requisition to the Lord
Mayor, requesting that his Lordship would call a Court of
Common Council, to petition Parliament upon the subject
te of those taxes which directly afflict the pour. Upon the
appearance of the Minister's plan of Finance, they were
struck with the fact that the abatement of taxation with
which ii. met the people, merely regarded luxuries, and
toe' in no reterect were the poor likely to he benefited by
tee measures of repeal. The recommendation of some
abatement in the direct taxes, appeared to the gentlemen
who assemble:l upon the occasion, to be the most advisable
mode of addressing the Legislature, Will they accordingly
came to the resiolutioa to move a Petition in Continent
Uouncil, to the I hove of Commons, paying that the sue-
plus of the revenue milk be applied its abatement of the
'suit which so seriously pressed upon the poor. The Re-
quisition is to be forthwith presented. and no doubt can be
entertained of the readiness of the Lord Mayor to call
the Court.
