A letter from Boulops mentions, as a rumour,
that a Russian stpudron was traversing the Darda-
nelles, to take its station in the Mediterranean. If
so, it is not difficult to fhresce its object. It is
necessary that En4land, France and Spain, should
each have a squadron of observation in the Medi.
terrancan, for there was no knowing what secret
treaty exists between Russia and Austria, in the
event of the latter subjugating Naples. Is it nut
probable that Russia will require a port in the Mx-
diterninean the her assistance.

We subjoin an extrart of a letter mentioning the
distingiiis.ied manner in which the deputation front
Nladeira, sent to announce the revolution in that
island, were received:—

Agostinlio, arrived here per .liidoriniert, on the 14th inst. On
tie 15th their arrival was announced to the Cortes by the
S;:eretary of the Navy, and received with the must enthusiastic
cheers. At the llegency they were met at the (ours by the
different members, and three bands of music, each at the sever.'
lunilin;.: places, playiug the national hymn. At the interview
with the tortes they were received with espial honours; and
Government have told them that the Leakfuie sloop of war world
attend them, id their own time, to convey thou back to Maddira.
They have received every flattering mark of distinction, and no

MONDAY, MARCH !2.

The Neapolitans, we rejoice to say, arc preparing
to repel and punish the aggression of Tue HOLY
ALLIANCE With a spirit consonant to the determined
feeling of liberty by which they are actuated ; and
must fervently do we hope that they may make so
signal examplt, even to the total destruction of
their oppressors, al may serve to curls the infamous
and villanous principles laid down by the triumvi-
rate, which, assuming most profanely the title of
THE HOLY ALLIANCE, ought properly to bear the
appellation of Tits ',di:mai ALLIANCE. The
bridges and roads have been destroyed, and every
precaution taken to render their iugressdifficult
may their ogress never need to be provided for.
These tyrants have a great share of liberality,
whenever it can be supported at the expencc of
others—thus while either the dishonesty of the
Emperor refuses, or his poverty is unable to pay the
immense tLbt contracted by Austria to this country,
the Magnaninumw Emperor promises those of his
troops, w hu are tint destined weans of his iniquities
on the pr:-sent necasion, that they shall receive dou-
ble rations, and an additional aliuwance fur clothing
—not ut Ms cost, but that they will be charged
upon the country which has so peculiarly become
the ottject of his paternal anxiety.

„'They offer you their protection—
Yi.s—such protection us vultures give
To lambs--covering and devouring them.
They call on you to barter all of good
You have inherited one: proved
For the 'jape:wit: chance of something better--
Which they promise—be your plain answer this--
The laws we honour arc the people's choke—
We seek no change, and least of all
such change as ye would bring us.”

Our own Government fearlessly and successfully
resists every motion which might lead to a reduction
of expence, or a detection of oppression or mal-
vcrsation. This we regret, because a pertinacious
adherence to such u principle must lead to a destruc-
tion of all that a good Englishman venerates—the
country may be awed for a tint:: by muskets, bay-
onets, and sabres, but " desperation will make e'en
cowards bold "—and whenever the weight of tax-
ation prevents a man's supporting himself by his
labour, the period ufdesperation is fast approaching.
A committee has been appointed to inquire into
Agricultural Distress—in this committete we find
many tif those whose interest must be at variance
with their duty.—Can Lord Castlereagh consistently
declare, that the: distress of all classes may Le traced
to the profligate expenditure of the Government, or
will any man, connected with the Cabinet, ascribe
to its measures, the extreme of poverty which none
can deny ?—We fear we shall tire our residers with
the repetition ofa fact that cannot too constantly be
betbre them—that great retrenchment, and great
retrenchment only, can sai,e us from total ruin.
Mr. Vansittart ma) plume himself on• saving one
million per annum, Lut i.e may rest assured man!,
millions must be saved to give stability to thc Go-
vernment, or satisfaction to the people.


THE NATIONAL REGISCE4

The New York papers state, on the authority of
the Bermuda Gazelle of the I 3th of January, that
the patriots of Chili, under the command Of the
gallant Lord Cochrane, have struck a blow in South
America, and that his lordship had captured the
city of Lima, alder a tremendous resistance, during
which four of his lordship's vessels were sunk. The
same account was received some weeks ago direct
from Jamaica, and afterwards contradicted, but
subsequent intelligence stated, that the patriots
were in possession of Lima, which had induced the
people of Panama to declare fur independence, and
the kingdom of Quito to shake uLF the Spanish
yoke.

Captain Affleck, of the Strayer merchantman,
arrived off Oartmouth from Surinam, brings the
afflicting account of the almost total destruction of
the town of Paramaribo by fire on the .21st of Ja-
nuary last. Three hundred anti noety-two houses,
including- the stores and other outhouses, about
1000 in all, have been reduced to ashes. Their
estimlted value is about twenty millions of guilders,
Surinam currency. The number of houses be:bre
the fire was about 1400, chiefly built of timber.—
fhe conflagration left a d,:plorable chasm. The
streets were all perfectly straight, and lined with
orange, lemon, shadoek, and tamarind trees. The
Strerer, lying near the wllu•f, Was tWiC,' •on fire
btfitre they could warp her into the middle of the
stream. Several other vessels were also in danger,
having caught tire, but they succeeded in putting
out the flames and pushing off from the shore. The
!oss will he severely felt in Holland ; and we are
sorry to say several Dutch houses in the city will
also be considerable suGrers.

Lisbon papers to the Ist of Nlarch have arrived.
The report of the Committee of the Corte, to inquire
into the service: and claims of British tilliecrs in the
Portuguese army was read in the 25th sitting, and
ordered to be printed. It seems to have been dic-
tated by amicable and honourable feelings towards
this country. In the subsequent sittting. the seve-
ral articles of the constitution not beiore considered,
were disposed of. There was an animated debate us
to whether the Kim, should have an absolute Veto
on the laws passed by the Corte4, which was decided
in the negative ; but a proposiriun to give hint a
suspensive Veto was carried. The spectators in
the gallery may be said to have taken a share in the
debate. The initiative of the law is also left
with the Cortes. It was -resolved, on account of
the expected arrival of the Prince Royal in l'ortugul,
to hasten the discussion on the pr4ket fur applying
the crown-lands to the national service, and with
that view, that extraordinary sittings should be
held:—
