THE NATIONAL REGISTER

nected with even the worst part of the public press,
equal to so long and so degrading a tissue of un-
truths and inconsistencies, does indeed astonish us.
By our Parliamentary report it will be seen that
on Friday night the soi-disant proprietor and the
editor were committed to Newgate, while those who
deserved punishment much more, were allowed to
escape. It is publicly reported and generally be-
lieved that a member of the I rouse, a person hold•
ing a high official situation, was in point of fact
the author of the censurable paragraph.
• In the House of Lords the Bill for the disfran-
chisement of Grampound, and for conferring the
elective privilege upon Leeds,has been reads second
time, but under the declared and decided determin-
ation of Lords Eldon and Westmorland (two of the
Cabinet Ministers) that they would oppose it here-
after. This is not surprising—they think, no
doubt, that the borough system works well, and
would probably prefer an increase of it, to its dimi-
nution. Their clforts to stifle the general call for
a Refbrin may succeed, but it will be an ephemeral
success—Reform must come-1106mi will come, or,
if it be resisted too long, an alternative may be
adopted which we hardly dare think of

A further arrival of New York papers to the 15th
ult. took place on Wednesday. Intelligence of the
7th January had been received from the capital of
New Granada, elating that the province of Cuenta
had proclaimed its independence, and appointed a
supreme junta ; and that, in consequence of the
cxpeditioa sent by Guayaquil against Quito (al-
though its first object, as we stated some time ago,
was frustrated), the districts of Arabia°, Itishamba,
Quaronda, and Tucunga, had likewise declancl
themselves independent. Inhumation had also ar-
rived, by way of Curacoa, of the accession of Rio de
la Hache to the public of Columbia. Details of
some interest have been received ut New York,
relating to the progress made by the missionaries
sent from the United States to the Sandwich
islands. It appears that by the death of King Ta-
maliamaba, which occurred early in J B'2o, a general
revolution has taken place in those islands. The
priesthood has been abolished, the idols burnt, and
the Morecalis destroyed, and the labours of the mis-
sion prove in all of them effective. Its members are
much cherished by the inhabitants, and supported
in sonic instances at the public expense. Schools
were erecting, and the study of the Eaglish language
rapidly advancing. Among the pupils arc the
King and Queen Atooi, who have addressed the fol-
lowing letters, dictated by themselves, to the friends
of the missionaries in America :
