We understand that Mr. SMITH, against
whom Mr. SIMI, was so successful as special Counsel for
Mr. OTLAMCRTY in a libel case tried at the last Assizes
of Galway, is about to institute new proceedings to re-
cover further damages on a libel which he alleges was
written by Mr. O'FLAHERTY, and mot made the subject
matter of the trial in which be has already obtained a ver-
dict for 7501. from a Dublin Jury.—Dublin Morning
Register.

SIR W. JONES.—But his brilliant and useful
life was rapidly approaching its termination. One evening,
in the month of April, 179.1, after incautiously remaining
in conversation till a late hour in the open air, he called
upon Lord TEic NMOUTII, and complained of aguish symp-
toms. Those symptoms, in fact, indicated the existence of
a complaint common in Bengal—an inflammation of the
liver. Two or three days afterwards a physician was
called in, but it was too late ; and the disorder, which was
unusually rapid, terminated fatally on the 27th of April.
On the morning of that day," says Lord TEIGNMOUTIE,
" his attendants, alarmed at the evident symptoms of ap-
proaching dissolution, came precipitately to call the friend
who has now the melancholy task of recording the mourn-
ful event. Not a moment was lost in repairing to his
house. Ile was lying on his bed in t posture of medita-
tion, and the only symptom of remaining life was a small
degree of motion in the heart, which, after a few seconds,
ceased, and he expired without a pang or groan. His bodily
suffering, frotn the complacency of his features and the
ease of his attitude, could not have been severe ; and his
mind meet have derived consolation from those sources
where he had been in the habit of seeking it, and where
alone, in our last moments, it can ever be found."—Dr.
Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopadia, Vol. VI.

HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH.

The following Bulletin was issued this morn

The following are extracts from Frankfort
Papers, received this morning:—
BANKS OF THE DANUBE, APRIL 2.—The administra-
tion of General Kisseleff, Plenipotentiary President of
the Divan, has commenced under the most favourable
auspices. The principalities see the germs of a regular
order of things rapidly unfolding themselves, which promise
to realize the benevolent intentions of their august Pro-
tector, whose will it is that these countries, which have

been so long condemned to a vicious and versatile system
of administration, shall at length enjoy all the welfare
which their political situation and the fertility of their
soil are calculated to afford. Six years have passed since
the scourge of the plague began to exercise its ravages in
their provinces, and the commerce and prosperity of the
adjacent countries have not escaped the effects of its de-
plorable influence. " The sanitary measures," says the
Wallachian Courier, " which have been adopted since
the month of November last, have had the most satisfac-
tory result, the placing of all the persons diseased in laza-
rettos, subjected to a strict superintendence, and to the most
assiduous care, a minute inspection extended to the whole
country executed by special Commissioners, under the
direction of several General Officers, and a system of pu-
rification applied with rigorous exactness, have naturally
led to the almost total extinction of the disease. Among
the few patients still in the hospitals, most are in a stare
of perfect convalescence, and the small number of those
who are not quite recovered, are however free from all
symptoms of plague, and are confined only in consequence
of chronic distempers." According to the reports of the
Inspector-General, no new case has occurred for the last
two months and a half to damp the hope that we shall
see the ravages of the plague entirely cease in the country.
However, this satisfactory state of things causes no relaxa-
tion in the rigour of the sanitary measures that have
hitherto been adopted. Orders have just been given for a
new general examination of the houses in all towns and
villages of the two principalities, as a supplement
to the general purification, during which ail sus-
picious goods and effects hare been destroyed by fire.
. The preservative system is supported by the establishment
of a line of quarantine along the Danube. Galacz,
lbrailow, Kalarasch, Ghiurgevo, Zimnitza, Kalafat,
Izvorel, and Czernez, have lazarettos, where travellers
coming from the right bank of the Danube are subjected
to military regulations. Pio-Petri, Oltmizr, Tournoul,
Izlar, and Ozacheny, have been selected as places of ex-
change, and markets have been established there, to which
the merchants are obliged to bring their goods. With
the exception of the points selected, all communication
between the inhabitants of-the two banks is prohibited on
pain of death. The President has given notice of these
measures to the Pacha and Governors on the right bank,
so that henceforth the Mussulman, as well as the Christian
traders, will appear in the country only, and dispose of
their goods, and not to import the scourge of the plague.
The execution of all these measures is of the highest im-
portance to the adjacent countries of Austria and Russia,
and in general to all Europe.
Among the numerous ameliorations recently introduced
into the country, we must mention with praise the mea-
sures respecting abuses committed by the Administration,
which impoverished the country and demoralised the in-
habitants, at the same time that they in many respects pa-
ralysed the course of the Government, which was ill se-
conded by a multitude of subaltern plunderers. Three
Commissioners of inquiry, each consisting of two Boyards
of good character and a Russian officer, visit the several
districts, inspecting ail the barracks of the public service,
and such is the effect of this measure that the cessation of
all the abuses, and the disappearance of all prevalent re-
strictions, already certify the salutary fear inspired by an
administration which is found to proceed reasonably
in the way of justice and imprisonment.
We have just learned from good authority that all the
Russian troops stationed in the principalities, which were
numerous, hare received orders to commence their return
over the Pruth in the beginning of April, to go back to
Russia.

There will remain in the principalities only a corps
under General Kisseleff. Preparations are already making
to arrange the stations necessary to facilitate this opera-
tion, which is the more important as the whole Russian
army in Bulgaria only waits for the departure of those
troops to return to Russia. Field-Marshal Count Die-
bitsch himself is expected at Salunoff about 27th April.
INSPRUCK, Aram 26.—The Assembly of the States
of Tyrol was opened to-day with the usual ceremonies.
After Divine Service, the Count de NVilezek, the Gover-
nor, went to the Hall, and there received the Members of

the States at the foot of the throne. The Goverunleilt
proposals were laid before the Assembly, and the lliar°llai
having delivered a speech expressive of the unalterable tr,,
tachment and loyalty of the States to his Imperial l‘fejestil
the first Sitting of the Assembly commenced.
FRANKFORT, MAY 4.—Exchange on London, frcf°
Months, 1541.

We have not, until lately, been able to pet"
with attention the Report of the extraordirl
trial of MM. DE POTTER, TIELMANS, and
others, at Brussels, for a conspiracy against the
Netherlands Government, of which they 113 st t
been found guilty, and sentenced to banishree°
from their country. Their offcrce was the put'
lication of articles in the journals, recommend(
ing a national subscription for the indemnity °
those public functionaries who had been clis',
missed from their offices by the Covert-101i
This, the Judges of Brussels, who are refiner
able at the pleasure of the Crown, have deter,
mined to be a seditious conspiracy,—a constree.i
tion which no English lawyer, and certainly
English juryman, could possibly have put on th
act, had it happened here ; and from the result
we may be taught to appreciate more higlo
than ever, the inestimable value in political pro,
secutions, of our independent Judges, and ')
our incomparable Trial by Jury. The Nether
lands Government have, we learn, demesne
themselves so far as to request the French Go'
banished
vernment to refuse an asylum to the Nether
Belgians, but even the POLIGNAC Ministry i 5
said to have positively refused to be a party t°
so inhospitable a proceeding, and M. DE Pot'
TER and his friends will probably proceed t°
Paris, where it will be in their power still t°
contend for the liberties of Belgians as much °s
they please. At all events, whilst Great Dri'
tain is a nation, there will never be wanting IT
asylum for those who are persecuted for liberty s
sake. Our Government has now no power 19i
arrest over suspected foreigners, as used to be
the case under Lord CASTLEREAGH'S Aligl;
Act, and it is with pride that we say that eiv'
freedom is the right of every man who sets his
foot on the British shore. Our Ministry has'
indeed, been subjected to some imputations for
its treatment of the Portuguese refugees, but 4
should be remembered that this was done on thet
express ground of the Portuguese having forme,
themselves into a warlike armament, and C5l:
never, therefore, be any precedent for individO,
cases. The sufferers from the persecutions er
continental despots may still, and will, we trust,
always turn their eyes to Great Britain as their
strength and refuge in the time of trouble.
It would have been natural to suppose that s
Sovereign called to rule over a people to whom
by birth, by religion, and by national recollec-
tions, he was a stranger, would have done his
utmost to conciliate the affections of a people
whom history describes as at all times jealous of
their liberties, and who had lately, in their union
with France, tasted the sweets of many consti'
tutional safeguards, of which the marriage of
their country with Holland deprived them. It
was obvious that, with the amount of intelligence
possessed by . the Belgians, increasing yearly
with the increase of the stock of knowledge of
Europe, it was not to be supposed that 0
purely monarchical, or, as some call it, paternal
Government, would satisfy a people thoroughly
aware of the advantages of a Constitution, and
full of ideas of a philosophical kind, directed to
the amelioration of society in general. But
when the Government, after an experience ,of
some years, established for itself the character
of partiality for the Hollanders—when it en'
croached upon the guaranteed rights of the
Catholic religion, professed by the inhabitants of
the Southern provinces, when it attempted to
enforce the Dutch language in Belgium, where it
was a foreign tongue, and when it laid violent I

hands on the Press, the murmurs of popular
discontent which had been silently gathering
since 1815, began to give themselves vent in a
manner calculated to fill the Government with
alarm in the progress of their resistance to public
opinion. Government, however, like individuals,
while they try to act on the principle of self-inte-
rest, often grossly miscalculate that interest; and the
Ministry of the Netherlands has kept the people
during the last three years in a ferment, which
threatens to shake the stability of the Orange
dynasty. Nothing could possibly be more in-
judicious than the late prosecution, because it
has had the effect of drawing the public atten-
tion more than ever upon the very constitutional
questions of which the King of the NzTnnit-
LANDS has constantly deprecated the agitation.
It cannot but hare excited the Belgians to a
more firm and vigorous stand for constitutional
rights than heretofore, and it has fixed the eyes
of England, of France, and of other civilized
nations, upon the Netherlands, whose situation
cannot be at present viewed without a just in-
dignation at that course of policy which has
promoted civil dissensions in a country pos-
sessing every moral and civil qualification for
becoming one of the happiest portions of the
civilised earth.

The plan of M. de POTTER was undoubtedly
calculated to embarrass the Government, but it
would have been more effectually defeated by
some well-timed measure of conciliation than by
prosecuting as a conspiracy what was in fact a
mere opposition manoeuvre. If M. de POTTER
was a conspirator, there is no class of society in
Belgium that does not abound with persons
who deserve the same name, the truth being
M. POTTER'S opinions represent those
o
southern provinces in general, and
ttillflat t, the
instead of his having disturbed the
public peace, it is the Ministry that has done
so by their contemptuous disregard of the public
voice. We never remember to have seen a
more full and perfect justification than the de-
fence made for the prisoners by their advocate,
M. VAN DE WEYER, whose speech contains
matters of reflection, not only for the Netherlands
Government, but for the abettors of political
prosecutions in what country soever. We re-
gret that the pressure of domestic matters pre-
vents us from publishing the detailed account of .
this trial, which lies before us ; but it will go
down to history as a monument of the folly of
