that we are to view this amelioration of dm condition of
the poor ; it Is to be hoped, that the attentios of the potpie
of England has at last been called to the Oust and grow-
ing evil 'entailed upon the industry of the country by the
poor laws, and that means are in prowess gradually to abate
this burthen, and, perhaps, in the course of samohundred
years (for sooner, we fear, is out of the question, without
making the cure worse than the disease), to get rid of it
altogether.
How is this to be done? We would say, by using every
means to enlighten and educate the peasantry—to raise
them in their own estimation, and make them depend upon
their own exertions and their own prudence for support,
and to habituate the higher orders to look upon the lower
as persons who are capable of conducting their own affairs,
of governing their own savings' banks, and of making their
own arrangements fur their own comfort ; for as lung as
you continue, with well-intentioned absurdity, to treat the
lower orders as if they were children, as children they will
depend upon you for support, instead of trusting to their
own energies and resources.

Through the {kindness of our iVcst Indian Coffeepot-

ness set out yesterday evening for Darmstadt. His Highness Prince

Our papers contain various amount. of terrible ravages caused by
hail storms nn the 111th. There was a great hail storm at Alan..
hiem and in the neighbourhood, whkk did vast damage, bath on
land and on the river. The wind Web.' a storm from the north
west, tore up trees, drove many vessels Is the Nuk from their'
anchors, and dialled them with some rafts of timber against the
bridge of hosts, which gave way, and was pertly_ driven on shore
up the stream, but was got off, and mote palatable again by mid-
night. The only one lost is one laden with salt. The rain, mixed
with hail. poured down in torrents ; the corn In the fields is all
laid, and a great quantity of fruit beaten front the tiros. We ex-
pect melancloly accounts Rom the country. In some places not a
window has escaped. %Villengen and Wurtemberg was visited oa
the 15th by a furious storm ; the hail of half an hour's duration ;
the stores as large as hens' eggs, and many larger: entirely de.
!armed the standing corn in seven or eight villages, and ravaged
in a greater or less degree the fields of 10 other villages in that
circle. The damage is incalculable. The mischief done by the
hail was completed by a dreadful storm, which threw down
barns, overturned loaded waggons on the roads, and tore up trees
by the roots.

Letters have been received from Batavia. dated the 26th
March. They communicate intelligence of considerable
importance. The duties on British manufactures had been
raised its Batavia from 6to 35 per cent. This change had
produced a great sensation among the merchant,. Accounts
had been -received respecting Mr. Thornton, the English
merchant, taken by the pirates; he was still detained at
Ritti (Sumatra), and they refused to let-him depart under
the enormous ransom of 40,000 dollars,- about 8,0001.

HAVANNAIL—We find, by a private letter from Ma-
dlrkl, that the Spanish Government entertains some alarm
for the Havannah ; it having been re ported that the Co-
lombfan GOvernment hid succeeded. in organizing a con-
spreacy among the blacks of Cuba,. and obtained a conzi-
derable party among the Spanish residents. If this alarm
be well founded, and the Asia should proceed to Chiloe,
ignorant of the capture of that island, the Spanish Govern-
ment tray have something else to think of than fitting out
an armament for South America. To the great surprise of
our merohants who trade with Cuba, some very im-
portant privileges have been conceded to the French ship-
ping entering the ports of that island. The duties on such
vessels have been recently the same as the English—
that is, about 22 per ,cent., but have latterly been reduced
to about 6 per cent., while ours remain unaltered. 'rho
question, which in itself seems to be entirely of a commer-
cial nature, derives some additional interest from the sus-
picion excited, that this is one mode by which the French,
havhig lost all hop► of any other kind of payment, are
seekhig to indemnify themselves fbr the charge of the Spa.
fish campaign. To the English traders the disadvantages
are very great of this relaxation in favour of France, which

' His Majesty's steam yess.l, the Comet, arrived up the
river on the 25th, from an astronomical voyage to Heligo-
land and the Nese of Norway, with Dr. 'narks and Sir 11.

the cruise to ascertain the action of salt water upon the
copper on the Ship's bottom, and at what part to fix a pro-

Treuttel and ‘Vurts have just published s translation of
the Rpports of the S eretarien of S ate of the R .public of
Colombia, presented to the First Cemstitut:onal C:ongren
of that State in the ye .r I x 23, ii, iip.! the 13th of the R..-
public. They are very chef ring, and affieril great hopes to
the friends of South America. and, nude, d, of all man-
kind, of the extensive hem-fits which ti,c emancipation of
that mighty country from the tra tttttt els of Spain will pro-
' duce. The revolution in that province is completed. The
Message or the Government says, that
If we except two tie three petty villages of deluded men, who
I expected to live by disorder, the Illovernotent is assured, that none
but *continents of union sod tiotherisond are cherished in the hearts
of Colombians. The order and internal tranquilly enjoyed by the
Republic could not be disturbed either by the desperate attache of
the enemy. nor by his instigations, nor by the frequent embarrass-
menu arising nom the impoverished slate of the polclic 'moony,
wit ch oftentimes are a motive of disturber ce to those who. in a
change of system, experience alteration in their for unes and their
expectations.
Aml, in a few pages after, we have a long detail of the dif-
ferent SUCCf %VS obtain, d over the Spa..iards, ly which it
is quite evident that they have not the shadow or a chant e
of recovering their old dominion. The Hist report is from
the Secretary of State for Fore ign Affairs, and gives the
, position in which Colombia stands with resp.ct to foreign
Governments. It is interesting to find how they value our
friendship :
This last consideration would seem to demonstrate, that thecom-
mercy of (heat Britain being that which has the most extensive
cne.nections with us, it world have been easy for Loth aides to have
come "to an undemtanding, in order not to leave our interests ex-
posed to the vicissitudes sof a civil war lint none of our exertions,
!ip to this time, bare had the power to induce his Britannic Ma-
; rsty's Govennoont so corer into direct relations with this country.
Previous to the ultimo, Venesuele end New Granada made eons'.
&cable eitertiors to obtain this, and subsequently the Republic of
Colombia has renewed them with the most pressing interest. Our
anxiety to obtain it has been and is in proportion to the high de-
gree of infiueoee acquired in thump', and in the world, by that
Cabinet principally, since the events of laid Flzevd Great Ifiitain
in the first political Taut amongst all natima. The navy of Eng-
land, the most formidable in the unhorse, has every where a com-
merce so err site, that scarce any thing rewar' to be desired by
it in that respect.
To us the friendship of Great Britain is of the highest import-
ance. The good will pram:ell towards us by the people of that
wealthy empire. is a most happy presage of what we have to hope
for from its Government. 'so where have we met fricods sat de,-
card, not so generous in the most dcoressiol periods of our contest.
Many of them, not satisfied with aiding it,. front afar, have crossed
the ocean to share our hardships and our dangers in the field of
battle. Colombia. in fine, owes mary British subjects an immense
debt of gratitude, and would wish to give them certain Knurl of
her feeling's, if not with a blameable prodigality, at least with the
highest liberality. The commercial interest and the nianutiettners
of that nation have 'therm themselves equally sensible of the adroit-
' tags which outtnarkets hold nut to them. Petitions have been pre-
sented from all parts to cite Ministry, setting forth the principal rea-
sons which call Per or recommend the necessity of entering into
, Idirect relations with us. In the Parliament itself the most eloquent
discourses have beei pronounced in favour of this measure. At
length the Government of his Britannic Majesty, on the 27th
of April. Ift.V, declared the commerce of (heat Britain with the
' ports of Colombia to be legal, so that nothing now remains to be
I decked bat: the manner of giving to it effectual protection.
• The decision of this question now rests with the wisdom of his
, Majesty's advisers, and in our humble opinion, nothing ran so
speedily and *securely remove the difficulties which arise, as a di-
rect arrangement with our Government, recognizing previously our
i existence ea a sorweign ration. Then will the commerce and the
, agriculture of Colombia arrive in a short time to a degree of pros.
, penny superior to any thing that the moat sanguine calculation can
antiripste. Then will the commerce of Great Britain, from its
immense capital, and its active and enterpnemit genius, in all
probability arrive at an importance in our market, which does
not appear at present to be duly appreciated as there was reason
to hope.
This Report contains bitter complaints of the insincere
polities of Spain ; and enters, naturally enough, into a long
disquisition concerning it. To us this is matter of little
. importance : it is as evident as the sun at noon day, that
Spain ban lost Colonibia, and that tiehlitr tortuous polit;es,
nor what force she can employ, will win it back. We
may therefore wave entering into these local diplomacie it.
r The Report of the Secretary of State for the Home De-
parhnent presents as with the p'etnre of a well-organised
t State in every branch, settling into the full proportion of a
prosperous and highly-eiviliaed Gore rnment. Its laws,
establishmeins, colleges, schools, hospitals, the
. state of its slaves and native Indians, its canals, bridges,
, roads, agriculture—in short everything which can mark
'the existence Of a nation, are discuses d at length, and with
. a degree of intellig,i net, skill, and liberality, which would
• reflect credit on any politics' writer. It is a highly curious
Report, which unveils tons the internal picture or a coun-
try which, twenty years ago, was almost as much unknown
to its as the dominions of Nester John.

In munition upon the oath To-day the arrivals have

Mathews has concluded, after three nights of Successful
performance. Russell opened the theatre this evening,
with a well selected dramatic company, for the season,
with the laundliag of the Forest, and Roliien, both of '
which pieces were remeieectably acted.
The abridgement of the races to two days, in conse-
quence of tie interference of certain pious presorts, who
feared that the amusements of Saturday might encroach
upon the Sabbath, has errand universal complaint. To a
close observer of human naipre, the vatiety of characters
that are now parading the eaten affords ample scope for a
very huneourous chapter. On the Steyne may be observed
the sporting men assembled• in front of the club-house,
busily engaged in making op their leeks, and laying it on
as heavily as cireun stanort- will admit. Lord Exeter's
Augusta is decidedly the fee rite for the gold cup to-now-
row ; and the Greeks are hacking her at Ion;; eek/s. On
the race-course, M area. Gyngel and Co. the Emperors of
Magic and the Black Art, are erecting their attractive
t. mples, to catch the notice of the Sussex yaukels. At the'
different inns all is confusion—J w and Gentile, French
and English, all struggling to obtain accommodation,
while bed-rooms bear a premium of at lent fifty per cent.
In the public streets the /inns are gaping about, first at the
Pavilion, abet secondly at the sea, into whose btiny em-
brace they most of them intend sinking on the morning
of to-morrow.

Certain of tl e company of fAntinn dicers have already

The R-ports of the Finance Minister, and the Naval

The long-continued and oppressive monopolies of the Spa-
niards have entailed a legion of difficulties, and, what is
worse, of deep-rooted prejudices on the new Governments,
which it will require sound political ecouornieits to overcome,

pect. These Reports, thetefore, look more to the future
than to the present period.
From the last Re port, that of the Secretary at War, we
make the following important extract :
When the constituent Congress of the year 11 was dissolved, the
army consisted of twenty.two thousand nine hundred and seventy.
five men. The garrisons, which it has been necessary to establish
in the departments newly incorporated with the Republic, and the
enterprises and continued exertion* of a desperate enemy, have
caused this forte to be increased to thin wo thousand four hundred
d seventy-six men, in the order following :—Twesty-tive thou.
sand seven hundred and hfiy infantry. four thousand two hundred
a-d nlnetv.six cavalry, and tso thousand live hundred and twenty
artillery.
As well the force which the army had before, as the nine thou.

and those who have entered to supply casualties. serve tor an un-
limited period. Thee! arc some, but very few, who are in the see.

been enlisted from 1829. No one receives either bounty or addi.
tional pay, because such recompences are unknown in our service.
The cavalry hitherto mounted as horses, which the liberality of
the citizens voluntarily afforded fur temporary service, wants to be
entirely rettiottsted, and remains subject to the same very precari.l
nut and ruinous mode of supply. This is the exclusive cause of a
thousand dreadful disorders and violaters, as injurious to discip.
hoe, as contrary to the right of property ; because the soldier who
loses his horse is obliged to take any other he may meet, without
consulting, very frequently, the will of the owner; and the officer,'
who has not the means of I nividing hint with one lawfully, tole.l
rates, consents, or perhaps gives an order to that effect, to avoid
the dissolution of the corps. The Government does not know that
this practice has continued, and has reason to believe that the Con.
istitutton has been observed even in this respect. although it beset.
I rributed to it the retirement from active service of the greater part
of the cavalry.
