taught u' not to expect that his MAJEYTIC would
close the Session of Parliement iii person; but we
!evil with extreme regret, front the Speech of the
Lords Commiesioners, that the continuance of his
MAJISTIni indisposition was the cause that the
Ktito on the present occasion intrusted to others
the expression of his sent:mews.
The dissolution of the Legislative Bodies at this
interesting moment affords a pretty correct and
satisfactory assurance to the country, that. in the
opinion of his Majesty's Ministers. the dish"' ic"l I. to-
ject so provideutielly frustrated, of ussaseinating
the Members of the Council, was not associated with
stay general scheme of a simultaueons movement in
other poets of the kingdom. The desperate

itself convince us that those wbn were intrusted
with the secret, of the conspirators' intention to cut
off the Ministers at a blow could not be numerous.,
This feeling of 'Ensiled horror and indignation has
been excited in the present instance to the utmost
extent. It is Dot confined to the wealthier or
higher classes of society, but widely and warmly
it.Ouences the least educated or enlightened of
the populace. Eves among the very rabble,
with whom the boldness and magnitude of an
enterprise too .frequently compensate for its
wickedness or atrocity. and who are ever prone,
from perhaps ei• very reprehensible priuciple
of nature, to commiserate every individual, whet.
ever may be his crimes. who is about to wart
an igooguinious death-ripen among them the ;
bolicil project has beep spoken of with exeeposisp. -
and the intelligence of Tuirmswoop's arrest gm
received with so evident feeling of gratification sod
triumph. Indeed, with the populace in the metro-
polis, the mine of Radical has long been a term of
contempt and ridicule.. It is now associated io the
public mind with sentiments of abhorrence.
So unequivocal thee being the expression of the
public mind upon the subject of the aissassinstion

plot, we are surprised to find the conspiracy refer-
red to by some of the ministerial writers, as affording
s kind of triumph to their masters over those who
hithertocom bated the necessity of the restrictive mea-
sures proposed by the Government, nor are we less
surprised to find the conspiracy noticed is the sPeech
delivered yesterday in the House of Lords by the
Coinn.issioners, as attesting the wisdom of those se-
vere enactments. We really cannot perceive any
necessary or logical connexion between this conspi-
racy and the Spafields riot, on which this wretched
THISTLE WOOD and his three associates were indicted
for high treason and acquitted. TifIETLEWOOD,
NATION, PRESTON. oral HOOPER, were indeed ac-
quitted of the charge of high treason, bat those who
approved of that acquittal upon that specific eking'
were very far from thinking throe stretched men
free from every species of moral or political Jelin.
gurney. Our law has carefully distinguished the
grstlaiions of guilt, sod as much iojustice may be
emplaned by the confusion of these degrees es if
innocence itself were exposed to persecution. Nu.
thing. however, au be mere absurd, thou to refer
the present guilt of THISTLEWOOD to the former
offence of himself and his companions, and thence
to argue the tutu.* d his treason in the former
instance, and the injustice of his, and of course of
his fellow-prisonete acquittal.
lint the presumption is still more fallacious that
would deduce front this diabolical conspiracy an
argument to sheer the expediency of the recent
treasures. We might fairly ask in what pytieblar
the conspiracy proves the utility of those measures.
The mew laws 'wither prevented the design from
being formed, and from arriving at maturity, our
ass it the new laws shut detected it almost in the
iustunt of its perpetration. No evidence his as yet
transpired to prove a connexion between the con-
spirators in Cato-street and any other clam of per-
sona in the kingdom. aid therefore we con-
ceive it will not be affirmed that the principles
of these infatuated ruffians are shared by any
portion of the people. Such a conspiracy can
testify nothing but the depraved hearts and diseased
undemanding* of those who engaged in it. Men
of desperate character may, under any circuit'.
stances of the country, devise a project of deep
atrocity, and it would be as unjust to ascribe such
a proceeding to the general temper and tone of
mind of the public, as it would be to censure the
laws fur not having prevented it. The project
would at all times be equally criminal, and the late
laws have no more changed the character of its guilt
than they were capable of preventing its perpetration.
Alt classes of the people joist in execrating the
conspirators, and as the recent laws affected public
proceedings only, without having the power of pre-
venting claodestioe machinations, we cannot per-
ceive what proof of their wisdom can be deduced
from the discovery of the conspiracy.

His MAJESTY hewing appointed yesterday for the
purpose of receiving the. Addresses from the Court
of Aldermen and float the Court of Cornrow'
Council, by deputations, those Courts were held
fo► the purpose of appointing the seine, when the
Members present of the Court of Aldermen were
deputed to proceed with their Address. A motion
was made in the Court of Common Council, that
Mr,„ Sheriff PAIMINS should be allowed to bike a
seat on the Bench with the Aldermen, which wus
negatived. It was then resolved, on a division. to
appoilit a deputation or oue Member from each
Ward to present their Address. The numbers
were, 64 in favour of the Rawlnfirm, cud 65
against it.
We have received oronolto Gazettes to the 18th
of December, and letters and papers from the Weird
of St. Thoulas to the /.3ti of January. They contra's'
some interesting imellience from the Spanish
Mein. The Western Hemisphere wag discovered tiy

extract from a private letter coshing some blether
particulars:—
" ST. THOMAS'S, JANUARY OS.
" You certainly have heard of the progress of the
Patriotic arms, under Bolivar—of the defeat and
surrender of the 3d Spanish division. under Bar-
reyro, • Colossi of artillery, near Boyara—sad

The Patriots have since been conqueriag the ion.
mediete tracts of lend northward of this city unto
the valley of Cucuta. In the begioaing of De-
cember, Bolivar. being in Pamplona, heard of the
general dissatisfaction oceasioaed by the rash be*
loiviour of General Arieasendi, appointed pro len-
p‘ri Voce-President of the Republic. He sees off
with Madly spy attendants, arrives in Angostura iw
eleven days, orders Arisneudi to tender hie resigna-
tion, and a sew order of things is declared. The
two Republics of Venesuele and New Gomm&
will form one "Oolitic-al body. under the none of
Co/usebia; a metropolis, called Bolivar, is to be
built for the residence of Congress, whose sittings
will, mean while. be held in Cucuta. Before this
new organization an take place, things will con-
tinue as before. The Representatives of Vene-
zuela will sit in Angobtore. under the Vice-Pre-
sidency of Dr. .1. G. ltoscin. a highly-respectable
man ; those of New Grande in Seats Fe. wader
General St. Ander. The President of Colombia
is Bolivar himself; the Vioe-Presideot is Zee, a
great naturalist. very well known to the learned
European world. The active Chieftain remained
but a couple of days in the capital of Guyana, and
is now again with the army. Ariarneadi is ap-
pointed Governor of Barcelona; General Bermu-
dez of Socorro, one of the finest provioces of New
Grenada. Troops are assembling in Marguerite,
and the report is, that a lauding near Laguayrr,
under the direction of General Mariana Montilla, is
intended. We also have heard of a bulletin of
Sim Martin, commanding the Peruvian and Chi-
han armies, dated Lima, having arrived at Augos.
tura. A letter from !Martinique, received this
morning. mentious that General D'Reereuz's
squadron, bound to Marguerite, had been seen off
the island a few days sign."

By the arrival of Hamborgh, Dutch, and Flan.
ders Mails, we have received Papers from various
parts of the Continent. Account, from the French
homier. stair, that in consequence of orders re-
ceived from Paris, all the Generals who command
military divisions in the various departments, as
well as the Prefects. who were absent on leave,
' must
,immediately repair to their posts. The
swingers who are in the northern departments are
to be strictly watched.
They write front Stockholm. of the 16th Feb.
that the Court lies put oil mourning for a mouth
for our late revered Sovereign. The account of
Jtis MAJBwr's death reached Stockholm on the
day that Lard STIAWGFORD was to have had his
audiruce of leave preparatory to his departure
for his embassy to Constantinople. The audience
of leave was therefore deterred, as his Lordship
could not he presented at Court previous to the
official notification of this melancholy event.

A Vienna paper states, that the Duke of
MONTFORT (J. BONAPARTI) hes purcha►ed the
palace Capin at Trieste, for 105,000 florins, Vicuna
currency, mud obtained permission to reside there
three months. The eldest son of the Duchess of
Ltrario (Madame MUZAT) has requested leave
to go to America, but has been refused.

The Curoberlaud Assizes commenced at Carlisle
on Thursday last. Justice PARK, iu his charge to
the Grand Jury, alluding to the late expressions of
popular discontent, his Lordship said, that he was
happy to learn, that so far as the disturbances ex-
isted in that county, the exertions for their suppres.
slim had been effectual; and he hoped and prayed
they may SO continuo.
Yesterday a Proclamation was placarded in dif.
Merest parts of the town, offering a reward of 200/.
for the apprelieusion of Joke Pali', alias Peeling,
who stands charged with High Treason. He is de-
scribed as being a child's chair-maker, and as haw.
ing been formerly a corporal in the East Loudon
Militia. He is about 40 years of age.
There will be no alteration in the time already
fixed for the York Aesiae, commencing. We
understand that Mr. Justice ~RAY LET. will begin
upon the second cause lest nom.' the second nonday
after the opening of the Commission; and ,does not
intend to take the case of Rex tr. Haut and Other,,
earlier than Thursday iu the second 'week.—(York

It is with great regret that we leant the gneiss.
choly death ofJoseen litrcntn, E•q. at Mourxwk,
in Africa. about 400 miles south of Tripoli. He
was a native of Otley, mud was u young maw of
great abilities and enterprise; be was employed
under the auspices of Government, to make dia.
merrier in the interior of Africa. and pertieularly
to endeavour to penetrate through the Great Desert
to Tumbuctuu. Great additions to geographical
science were expected from his labour.; but the
hopes which were ao justly.founded have been, as in
