so close, that he fortunately struck it downward, re-!i

A neutral Vessel, which, left Laredo', in Biscay,
about ten days since, brings an- account of a report
that had reached that place of a violent fernient
having bruke out in' the Provinces of Arragon and
Catalonia, which professed to have for its obje& the
adoption of certain measures of Reform recommend
ed by the PRINCE of ASTURIAS, 'which are arbi-
trarily opposed by the PRINCE of PEACES who, it i§
said, has called upon France to lend its assistance
to quell the disturbance. Suspicion, however, is en-
tertained, that the Minister himself is the secret
instigator of the Insurgents in that particular part
of the Kit-T(l6m, that he May have the more ready
pretext to make an appeal to the Grand Arbitrator.

We are happy to find, that the principal. Irish
Catholics, at a meeting held in Dublin on Saturday'
last, resolved, after mature deliberation, to post-
pone for the present their proposed application to

Yestei day the 'Coldstream Guards were reviewed
at the Parade, St. James's, by His Royal Highness
the DUKE of CASIBEIDGE, attended by Colonels
WY:NYARD, BAILEY, and several General Officers..
During the inspection by Colonel WYNYARD, Co-
lonel BAILEY'S horse suddenly plunged, and
knocked one of the front rank men a considerable,
distance in front of the line. His Royal Highness,
on-perceiving' the accident, immediately rode up,
and with great solicitude inquired if the man was
materially hurt. On being answered in the nega,;
tive, he gave dire&ions for taking every possible care
of him. Fortunately the soldier sustained no other
injury than a few bruises, and finally resumed his
station. After the Inspeation, His Royal Highness
and' Officers retired.
The following is an Extra& of a Letter broug h
by the last 'Gottenburgh Mail :
" Count SCUULANBERG, . the Prussian Minister
at Hanover, seems very anxious to disorganize and
destroy the Old Government of this Electorate, and
to assmilate it as much as possible to that of Prussia.
Not being content with having introduced-Assistant,
Councillors into every municipal Office, he has sent
host of underlings called " Referendaries" all over
tne'Country, to superintend the Administration of
Justice and of the Crown Lands, and thus has
superseded all the old and faithful servants ap-
pointed by His Britannic Majesty as Ele&or of
Hanover."

The public look with no small degree. of impa-
tience for the next arrivals from the Continent, as it
is geuerally believed they will bring intelligence that
will place in a more certain point of view the fate of
the Kingdom of Naples, and the diretaion of the Po-
litics of Prussia. The result of the hostile march of
the French Army against Naples is, no doubt, of a
nature to excite the utmost anxiety, as it must lead to
the complete deposition of a Sovereign Family, and
as completely subject the whole of Italy to the domi-
nation of the Usurper. Indeed there does not re-
main the slightest hope of that Family being able to
escape the -catastrophe which threatens them ; their
resistance may, perhaps, shed some glory on their
fall, but cannot retard, much less prevent it.
The Prince of Peace, if report is to be trusted, is
secretly endeavouring to kindle up War, and even to
call for the interference of France to establish the
freedom of Spain. It is certain there is a great dif-
ference between this Upstart Minister and the legi-
timate Heir to the Spanish Crown.

There have been many jokes in the Papers about
time refusal of an Irish Gentleman to marry a Lady
whose name is Fortune. If, however, we are to
