PROJECT 11.

This project, as modified by the Committee, is as fol-
lows:

" Art. I. In order to fulfill the object expressed in the
law of this date for the creation of public funds, the Di-
r., ctors of the Public Funds and of the Sinking Fund for
the Redemption of Bank Notes, are authorised to lend to
the Government three hundred thousand dollars in each
month, including that of February, from the sums deposited
in the Sinking Fund.
" 2. The Directors of the Public Funds shall deliver up,
as soon as possible, to the Sinking Fund for the Redemp-
tion of Bank Notes an amount of public funds by way of
mortgage, until the quantity sent in pursuance of the pre-
ceding article be reimbursed, in the proportion of three
dollars of the public funds for each two received in cur-
rent money."

The above two projects were sanctioned by the House on
the 19th inst.

MARCH s.—We have no particular news to communi-
cate this week relative to the existing war. Both parties
seem to be wound up to the highest pitch of animosity
against each other, having no alternative but an appeal to
the sword, and filling with grief every well-wisher of the
country.
Reports have been in circulation during the week that
the province of Entrerhs was likely to he the scene of more
unquietness. It was said that 150 men had assembled at Mon-
tiel, and that others were collecting in the islands on the
Urugay, and in the Banda Oriental, for the purpose of at-
tempting a counter-revolution in Entrerios. We have seen
a person from Mercedes, who states that it w.ts confidently
known that an assemblage of armed men bad taken place,
under the commend of a person named Felippo, and it was
said that some officers were to leave the Banda Oriental
on the 25th ult., to join them for the purpose of revolu-
tionising Eutrerios. It has been likewise reported that
the Indiana of the Missiones, under the command of Colo-
nel Brito, had entered Entrerios with hostile intent to the
existing Government. It is affirmed, on the other hand,
that the Government of Entrerios possesses force sufficient
to crush any attempt that may be made.

The following le.te,r has been received from
the Agent to the North and South American
Coffee-house, dated Buenos Ayres, sth of
March :

" War between the boundary provinces of the Argen-
tine Republic and those of the interior has actually com-
menced, and it will probiltly decide the question of pre-
dominance between the Unitarian and federal party. As
yet no decisive action or any combat of great importance
has onurred. The few skirmishes which have taken
place seem to have been in favour of the federal troops,
and they have entered the province of Cordova. Ti.e fol-
lowing is a brief sketch of the forces, &c. ti the bellige-
rents in this civil war:—The boundary provinces consist
of Buenos Ayres, Santa Fe Entrerios, and Corrientes,
(the latter province is at present a passive spectator of
events) and little or no aid can be expected from Entrerios,
that province being in a state of constant inquietude from
the efforts of a Unitarian party in it, own territory, andthe
Unitarian exiles and emigrants from Buenos Ayres, who
swarm in the neighbouring state of the Banda Oriental.
Buenos Ayres and Santa Fe are the active party in the
war, and the Governments of these two provinces are de-
cided and determined federal. The federal army, therefore,
consists as follows:—Troops of Buenos Ayres, 700 ca-
valry, under Colonel Pacheco, in areve operation in the
province of Cordova ; 2,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry,
acting as an army of reserve on the frontiers, and coin-
manded by the Gorernment of Buenos Ayres, Don Juan
Manuel Rosati. Besides these the friendly Indians of
this province are ready to act when called upon.
" The troops of Santa Fe consist of about 2,000
cavalry, including the Indians of Chaco. General
Qu!roga has about 300 to 400 men, which he
collected in Buenos Ayres, in order to carty on a desultory
warfare against the interior provinces, and Colonels Ibarra
and La Torre have nearly 500 men for the same object.
" The nine interior provinces now under the Unitarian
system of Government, and of whom General Paz has
been appointed Protector and Supreme Military Chief, are
Cordova, Santiago, Mendort, San Luis, Rioga, Catamarca,
Tucuman, Sulta, and San Juan. The force which General
Paz can bring into the field has not been well ascertained,
he is at present acting on the defensive, but he has with
him the flower of the old army of the Republic; the
officer, are of the first rate talent, and all of them coin•
promised in the system of government which he supports :
he has likewise been well supplied with all sorts of warlike
Stores from Chili. I should think he may have about
2,000 men, cavalry and infantry, and a good artillery
corps, besides contingents from the different provinces ; if
the I.tter are fervent in the cause, the Protector can
present a formidable front ; but this is doubtful, the fede-
' rats calculate upon considerable defection in that quarter,
and call upon the inhabitants of the interior to join them
in driving the military despots (as they are called) from
the Republic.
• " Trade, as may be well conceived, is in a most wretched
state, little or nothing doing. The mercantile community
are out of heart, aware that if civil war is protracted it
will go far to destroy the little that remains of property in
this country.

Exchange upon London, 61 to 6i per paper dollar ;
doubloons, 124. to 126 paper dollars each. _ _ _

• -
44 The Government has created six millions of dollars of
new Six per Cent. stock, in order to meet the expenses of
the war."

By the Leeward Island mail we have advices
S. Thomas's. They contain the follow.
i
His Majesty the King has been most graciously
'leased, on my humble report of the 9th of January, 1830,
pleased,
determine the respective relations of his Majesty's co-
loured subjects particulars :
subjects in these colonies, with regard to themselves
in their reciprocal stations, in which they ought to stand
as a community both with the public and the Admini-
stration.
t, His Majesty is perfectly convinced that the period has
arrived in these colonies, when those wrong and preju-
diced views, which had drawn a distinguishing barrier
between two burgher classes of these islands (who art
both his Majesty's subjects, and both equally dear to him)
ate now done away with, and that an upright and coin-
mendable conduct to the free colotired eau shall hereafter
meet with pet feet acknowledgement from each and every
one.
In the different public stations I have and now do fill
here, I have with sympathetic feeling and attention, no
titled how the former prejudices of a social approach to-
wards the free coloured inhabitants has gradually dimi-
Dished, and seen with walling feelings of justice those

whose deserving conduct in that class has been acknow-
ledged and duly appreciated.
.‘ With his 'Majesty's most gracious authority it is, that
I hereby make public this Royal decree. Ido this with
the fullest and most perfect confidence that all and eve,)
.one wid consider, and the free coloured population will
cknowledge this, his M jesty's paternal mark of soli-
citude. My s•ay here at the present time will be too
short for me to witness even the first beneficial effect
thereof, but I most assuredly rely, upon my return here,
to be satisfied of the same, and we will congratulate our-
selves of this other proof amongst many, which our
,racious Monarch has so clearly shown the world, that
the welfare of his subjects has ever been the constant aim
of his best endeavours, which may God in his mercy long
prosper, and let him for years to come reap the rich fruits
thereof.

" The above-mentioned most graciously sanctioned Re
port will be published by advertisement in the Gazette.
" General Government of the Danish West India
Islands. (Signed) " P. V. SCIIOLTEN.
St. Croix, March, 14, 1831."

The Emperor Don PEDRO arrived at Fal-
mouth on the 9th, in the Volage frigate.

We understand that directions have been sent
to Portsmouth to postpone the sailing of the
fleet now assembled, until further orders. Sir
EDWARD CODRINGTON was at the time under
sailing orders upon the arrival of the Talavera
and Curacoa, which were preparing to join him.

The Right Hon. GEORGE DAWSON is at
his old work again, drivelling forth calumny,
abuse, and would-be sarcasm, with an effrontery
and pertinacity absolutely without parallel. We
refer our readers to this notorious orator's speech
at the dinner given to Colonel TYRELL—of
which speech it is no difficult matter to conjec-
ture the inspiration—as a sample of elocution
that beats hollow all the vigorous displays in the
same line, of the choicest professors of Donny-
brook-fair, Billingsgate, or St. Giles's. The
Right Hon. Gentleman sets out, as usual, with
a vehement attack on " the licentious Press."
This is natural. This is in strict accordance with
what philosopher Square would call, the fitness
of things. We never yet knew a poacher who
could endure the sight of a tread-mill. Mr.
DAWSON holds the Press in the utmost horror,
well knowing that it is the keen, unsparing ex-
positor and castigator of quacks, upstarts, and
noodles, political, literary, clerical, and otherwise.
But the Right Hon. Gentleman is not content
with being simply virulent, he also affects the
poetical. Alluding to his opponent's chairing
at Harwich, he says, that " he looked as if
he were heartily ashamed of himself; waving
with a sluggish and leaden hand a bit of a
yellow flag Plat drooped in its own insig.:i-
ficance, as if the breezes were disgusted with
the thing they wafted." We can imagine this
disgust on the part of the fastidious zephyrs. It
is a. proof of their high breeding and aristocratic
refinement of taste. But while we laud to the
skies the exquisite poetry of the simile, we must
protest against ils politics. Mr. l)AwsoN has
no right to take for granted that the " breezes"
are necessarily Ultra-Tories. Placenzen they
have never been, and pray why should they turn up
their noses at the sight of a Reform flag ? The
Right Hon. Gent. goes on to congratulate Col.
TYRELL on his late triumph in Essex. He is of
opinion that the Ex-Member has sustained no
defeat, but that on the contrary he has gained a
brilliant victory. What a pity it isthat so inge-
nious a statement should have so weak a foun-
dation to rest on ! But the crowning glory of
Mr. DAWSON'S speech is his lamentation over
the vacillating policy that has prevailed in the
Cabinet for the last twelve years. " The whole
policy," quoth the orator, " of this country, for
the last twelve years, is change, not of a moderate
description, but a complete overthrow of esta li
-
blished institutions." This comes with exqui-
site propriety from the lips of a public man—we
were going to say statesman, but we will not
prophane the term—who was the very first to rat
upon the Catholic Question—upon that very
question to which the present Reform Bill is in
no slight degree indebted for its success—upon
that very question which by breaking in upon
established institutions, has familiarized the
public mind to political change, and paved the
way for every succeeding innovation ! But a
greater absurdity even than this remains to be
pointed out. Mr. DAWSON intreats his hearers
to adhere to the ancient institutions of their
country, because " their very antiquity is a
proof of their utility." If this be really so, pray
why did the Right; Hon. Gentleman's .brother-
in-law, supported strenuously by himself, pre-
sume to tamper with the criminal code?—.-
Why did they repeal the Test Acts ?—Why
emancipate the Catholics ? Why disfranchise
Irish freeholders by millions ? Surely on the
Right Hon. Gentleman's own showing the
" very antiquity of these absurdities was a proof
of their utility !" But " antiquity," we sus-
pect, is only to be reverenced when it accords
with an ultra view of a question ; Mr. DAW-
SON can bray as lustily as any other mem-
ber of teh ra:f our ancestors, so long as their

Hon. Gentleman just now deals largely in the
wisdom line ; he is enraptured with our ances-
tors for their abundant possession of this quality ;
let him but return to office pledged to support
some new-(angled Reform Bill of Sir R.
PEEL, and we shall hear no more of
ancient wisdom ; " modern improvements" will
then be the rallying cry of the Ultras.—
We make no comment on iVEr. DA wsoN's allu-
sion to the late domestic affliction of that high-
minded Nobleman, Lord MILTON ; we say no-
thing of the decency, the propriety, of making
such a topic a theme for ribald abuse at a public
dinner party ; but this we will say, that those who
have the hearts of men, and the feelings of gen-
tlemen, will at once know how to appreciate it.

ARRIVAL OF THE EX-EMPEROR OF
BRAZIL AND SUITE AT FALMOUTH.

Extract from the Agents to Lloyd's, at Falmouth, dated
the 9th inst. :—" His Majesty's ship Volage, Captain
Lord Colchester, arrived off this port this morning from
Rio de Janeiro, whence she sailed the 13th of April, having
on board Don Pedro, late Emperor of Brazil, and Empress
and suit., he having abdicated in favour of his son (now
Don Pedro the Second) on the 7th of that month, in con-
sequence of the popular feeling being strongly excited
against him by the acts of his Ministry, awl other causes
which hal of late greatly discontented the nation.
" A Regency had been appointed in consequence of the
minority of the young Etnperer, he being but five years
old ; but it was expected that the Brazilians would very
soon determine on abolishing the Sovereign power, and
declare the Government Republican in imitation of all the
other American States. The Volage, after obtaining
supplies, proceeded for Cherbourg, where the Ex-Emperor
intends landing ; and the French frigate La Seine has
proceeded for the same port, from Rio, with the young
Portuguese Queen Donna Maria.

" We have conversed with a gentleman, a passenger by
the Duke of York packet, arrived to-clay from Rio, who
assures us that there is great probability of the ultimate
recovery of a considerable portion of the specie lost in the
Thetis; two efforts made with the diving bell had been
successful to a certain extent, the boxes had been found to
have been broken, and the dollars were brought up loose."
