sincerely wish that those hopes may be realized,
but we think it right to state that accounts have
reached us this day of quite a different corn-
Plexion, from equal good authority, which

strongly confirm the probabilities of war ; and
though the Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday
Contain nothing decisive respecting the question
of peace or war, yet the accounts they bring are
generally of a warlike character.

CANADA.—We have received the Quebec Ga-
zettes to the 14th of March, from which we shall,
in a few days, give several txtracts.

New York Papers arrived this morning to the
26th March.

COLOMBIAN REPUBLIC.—( From a New York Paper of
March 22.)--We have now to .add intelligence which shews
the Colombian Government to be actuated by a correct sense of
justice, and a liberal feeeling deserving general praise. A de-
cree has been issued, ordering the foreign officers in the service
of the Republic their back pay, with other allowances. This
will give to each of the Irish Officers under General DEVE-
nErx, and those who went out under the late General ENG-
'. Isil, a very handsome sum. To a Lieutenant-Colonel 15,000
dollars, and to other ranks in proportion. Several of them have
taken estates in Carraccas in lieu of some part of the pecuniary
rewards coming to, them, and have actually at the present mo-
ment coffee plantations in full work in the neighbourhood of
the city. An expedition was fitting out to blockade Porto Ca-
vallo by sea, and the arrival of Commodore DANIELS was im-
patiently looked for to take the command. The last accounts
left General DEVEREUX at Truxillo, on his way to join the
President. _ _

BOSTON, MARCH I.—GITADALOUPE AND MARTINIQUE.
—The planters of Guadeloupe and Martinique are said to have
petitioned the French Government that those islands may be
Tendered for all kind of American produce,. and it has been
stated that accounts from France were favourable' to the
hopes of the petitioners. If the petition is granted, American
vessels may take cargoes of cotton to the islands, and the
French ships will carry them to France.

IRELAND.—The insurrectionary spirit, from
the decrease of outrages, seems to be subsiding
in the Counties of Cork and Limerick. The
Counties of Kilkenny and Tipperary are, how-
ever still much disturbed.

The Opposition Prints, as might be expected,
exult in the triumph of Mr. WArrtimAN over
'John Bull, and inveigh bitterly against that
'Paper on the score of gross personality; but such
censure can have little effect upon the public, as
it is obvious that those Opposition Prints have
for a long period far exceeded in rancour any
thing that John. Bull has ever said. There is
this difference in favour of John Bull, that he
]►as directed' his censure against the enemies of
the State ; but the Prints in question have been
still more scurrilous against the friends of
the Constitution, and, with very few ex-
ceptions, have obviously endeavoured to bring
about a Revolution upon French principles, and
to destroy that Constitution which has so long
rendered us the most free and happy people on
earth. Personal abuse is certainly degrading to
that inestimable organ of knowledge and free-
dom a Public Press ; but when any individuals,
whether high or low, attempt to disturb the na-
tional tranquillity, and overthrow a Government
established by the wisdom and virtue of our an-
cestors, and sanctioned by the experience of ages,
such individuals are fair game, and if they are
too subtle for the law to reach them, they should
be brought to the Bar of Public Opinion, and
held out to the contempt and ridicule of their
'countrymen and mankind.

On Saturday, a Meeting of the Freeholders
and Inhabitants of the County of Bedford was
held in the Town Hall, Bedford, in pursuance
of a requisition presented to the Sheriff by the
Duke of BEDFORD, Mr. C. F. PALMER, M. P.,
Mr. W. H. WHITBREAD, M.P., Mr. S. C. WHIT-
BREAD, M.P., &c. &c.—At this Meeting, which
was held for the purpose of petitionieg for a Re-
form of Parliament, we are surprised and grieved
to find that the Marchioness of TAVISTOCK, Lady
MADELINA PALMER, and several other Ladies
were present. The attendance of females at
Political Meetings; in the present times, ori-
ginated, we believe, with the class of Reformers
amongst whom such personages as Orator Hos;
Dr. WATSON, CARLILE, and the inferior agents cf
disaffection, down to little WADDINGTON, very
naturally took the lead in their public proceed-
ings ; and the females who graced their proces-
sions and assemblages, or occasionally adorned
their oratory with the tropes and figures of most
significant use in the regions'of Billingsgate and
St. Giles's, performed at least one service to the
cause of good government and order, however
unintentionally, by the additional ridicule which
their exhibition entailed upon the proceedings of
those motley multitudes who exclusively arro-
gated to themselves the name, and pompously
characterised the expression of their august will,
as the voice, . of the People! The illustrious
example which was thus set by the ladies of
Spafields and Smithfield, and by the heroines
who figured at Manchester and Nottingham, and
the other hot-beds of disaffection, in which the
demoralizing tendency of manufactures had so
far deteriorated the character of English women
as to fit them for the degrading exhibition of
their persons upon hustings and carriages, tricked
out in tawdry decorations, and surrounded by
the caps of liberty, the flags and banners
and ensigns of sedition,—bas already, it ap-
pears, proved so captivating to some of the ladies
of Bedfordshire, that, though they are not yet,
we hope, prepared to engage actively in the war-
fare which is waged against the existing usages of
the State and practice of the Constitution, they
have made their first appearance on the stage of
party strife and political contention. It is an
evil omen for a country, not exposed to the last
perils of a foreign invasion, when its women, for-
getful of that retiring modesty which constitutes
the charm. and safeguard of domestic life, expose
themselves to the broils of factious meetings, and
court the licentious gaze and rude applauses of
political. partizans. In the state of female so-
ciety in France, no one is surprised when the
market-women of Paris make public demonstra-
tions of their political sentiments ; but we hope
that the ladies of England will be preserved from
the contamination of principles which substitute
the bold demeanour that is requisite to sustain
them at popular assemblages, for those finer feel-
ings which, while they qualify them to grace the

circles of private life, necessarily shrink from the
tumultuous rudeness of reform meetings.—At the
Bedford Meeting, the hacknied topic of Reform
was treated in the usual manner, and supported
with the usual arguments. The principal
speakers were the Duke of BEDFORD, Mr. W.
H. WHITBREAD, Mr. C. F. PALMER, and the
Marquis of TAVISTOCK. The Resolutions pro-
posed were carried, and a Petition agreed to.

JEREMIAH TYALOR, • ESQ —On Saturday this
Gentleman died in Staple Inn, after suffering severely under
a lingering illness, which he bore with exemplary firmness and
patience. He was the son of the late Mr. TAYLOR, of Hat-
ton-garden, who for many years was the most eminent. Oculist
of his time, and the grandson of the celebrated Chevalier TAY-
L OR, whose superior skill in the profession was well-known to
all Europe. Mr. JER. TAYLOR, as well as his only surviving
Brother, JOHN, were Oculists to his MAJESTY, and practised
in conjunction for many years in the same place, but the latter
long since resigned the profession wholly to the former. The
Gentleman who has just departed this life was a member of the
Royal College of Surgeons of London, and M.D. of the Medi-
cal College at Basle, in Switzerland. He was able as a Sur-
geon, and intelligent as a Physician ; nor is it any disparage- •
ment of the talents of those gentlemen who at present direct their
attention to the diseases of the Eye to say, that natural sagacity,
early instruction, attachment to that branch of surgery to which
he peculiarly devoted himself, and long practice, had rendered him
the most skilful and experienced Oculist of his day. However,
duly estimating the transitory and precarious tenure of human
life, he never came ostentatiously forward, but contented himself
with such sdccess, arising from private reputation, as enabled him
to blend amusement and study with the pursuit of a profession
which he justly considered as important to mankind. He was
ever ready to assist the poor with his professional advice and as-
sistance. In his private character he possessed scientific and ge-
neral knowledge, extraordinary powers of conversation, always
enlivened by prompt wit and humour, and enriched with a
store of anecdotes which he related with admirable effect. The
public, we may confidently say, has suffered a great loss in the
death of so useful a member of society, and a numerous body
of friends will cherish the memory of a pleasant and intelligent
companion, and a truly benevolent and valuable man. He was
attended uring his illness by Drs. GEORGE PEARSON and
MASON Goon, and Mr. MORLEY, the surgeon ' • but he was
so thoroughly conversant with the nature and tendency of
diseases, that from the first attack of his own he predicted a
fatal termination, and encountered it with fortitude and resigna-
tion.

LOSS OF THE BLENDON HALL.
[Further Particulars.]
PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 20.—Last night the lion. East
India Company's ships Bombay, Captain Stanton (late Graham,
who died at MaCao), and Royal George, Captain Timms,
passed by for the River, from China; they sailed in December
last. The Company's ship Minerva was left at the Cape of
Good Hope; the Hythe and Inglis had left St. Helena for
London ; and the Thalia whaler was spoken with in the Chan-
nel. The above ships brought home Capt. Greig, and part of
the crew of the late ship Blendon Hall, which ship sailed from
Gravesend on the 7th of May, and was unfortunately lost on
the Inaccessible Island, 15 miles from Tristan da Cunha, on
the-23d of July last. It appears the weather had been very
thick ; on the 22d they had an observation, and found them-
selves near these „Islands, of which they wished to get a sight,
in order to correct their reckoning. Consequently every look-
out was kept for sea weed, which is known to be an indi-
cation of nearing -them ; an altitude was taken of the sun
at eight in the morning of the 23d, and about ten, every body
being on deck, sea weed was discovered, and it was soon
found that the ship was surrounded by. it ; the helm was put
down, but, by reason of light winds and a heavy swell the
ship did not come round. Breakers were now heard a-head ;
the jolly-boat was lowered down with a tow-line, but with no
effect, the wind having quite subsided, and the swell driving the
ship on the rocks. An anchor was let go, but the extreme depth
of water did not allow it to take hold the cutter was then
lowered down to assist the jolly-boat in towing the ship's
head round, when she struck. The weather was now so
thick, from a mist or cloud, that the two boats could not be
seen though close alongside; nor could the land be disco-
vered. The masts were then cut away ; the fog blowing off, ter-
rific cliffs were discerned over their heads, at about half-a-cable's
length, and the sea began to make a clear breach over the ship.
The two boats now landed about two hundred yards off; and
while those on board were endeavouring to throw overboard
the long-boat, the ship filled and went to pieces. The crew
clung to the forecastle, some of the beams of which held
fast to the rocks -; and, on a hastily-made raft eight men
got on shore, and'-one was drowned. A rope was now flung
from the shore to the remainder, and" about 1 p. m. all were
landed, without the least water, or a morsel of provisions—
Water was, however, found ; and provisions were supplied by
knocking down the penguins and other birds' eggs, and those
of sea elephants and seals. Tents were erected with some
of the coarse cloth and sails that were washed bn shore ;
but it was four days before they could make a fire, in which
they at last succeeded by means of a rocket which was washed on
shore. On the 19th October, a boat was built, in which eight
of the crew endeavoured to make Tristan da Cunha ; but they
have not since been heard of. On the Bth of November a se-
cond boat was made, and ten of the crew succeeded in getting to
that island ; and, with the assistance of two whale boats.,
the whole of the unfortunates were transported from their
desolate situation by the 9th of January following, having
been without bread for nearly six months. The brig Narina,
of London, Lackland, Master, kindly took the crew and
passengers thence to the Cape of Good Hope, consisting of
four ladies, three children,, and twenty passengers, and eleven
seamen. Two seamen were drowned in the shipwreck, and
eight are missing in the first boat that was built.—Though
this island is within sight of Tristan da Cunli, and every
signal was -made by means of fires, smoke, and flags, yet
no assistance was rendered them until their second boat
made known their 'situation. This island is about nine
miles round, is well wooded, and remarkably high, so much
so, that it is a day's work to attain the summit, but it is con-
stantly enveloped in clouds, and visited with squalls; has no
harbour or cove, and can only be landed on to leeward :
heavy swell constantly prevails, which prevented these sufferers
from obtaining fish as a change in their diet. The unfortunate
ship was 400 tons burden, and had 52 persons on board, mostly
passengers, bound to -Bombay.—( Hampshire Telegraph.)

On Saturday the Duke of YORK transacted
military business with the KING.
Yesterday the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Loan
CHAMBERLAIN, and Count MUNSTER, had au-
dience of his MAJESTY.

KING'S TIIEATRE.7--La Gazza Ladra was the
attraction on ..Saturday at this Theatre, and
Madame VEsTius returned to it in the part of
Pippo.
,She is never wanting in spirit, but her
voice is certainly not of that high order which is
expected from the chief vocal performers it this
place. Cendrillon was the concluding ballet,
but it entrenched rather too much upon the time
of Episcopal - permission.—The Theatre was
crowded in all riarts, and there was a proud dis=
play of beauty and fashion.
On Thursday., a Committee of the Loras of
the Privy Council assembled at the Cockpit at
Whitehall, to hear Plantation Appeals, Which
was attended by. the MASTER of the Row,
Lord STOWELL, Earl COUILTOWN, Mr. BECKET,
Mr. FREMANTLE, &C.

We understand that the East Lothian Bank has
stopped payment, and being a Scotch Bank, seems to bear upon
the question now agitated as to the expediency of introducing
Joint Stock Banks on the Scotch principle into this county, and
into the kingdom at large. The failure in question (says a Cor-
respondent) it is clear, must have one of two effects—it must either
suppert the principle laid down by the resolution of the meeting
which took place at the County Court House on Wednesday
last; or be opposed to it, and that will simply depend upon the
fact, whether it was a Joint Stock Bank, or not. It is said that
it is not a Joint Stock Bank, and that it has failed in consequence
of the partners being agriculturists, and having drawn out the
capital of the Bank and lost it in agricultural speculations.
That is properly a Joint Stock Bank, where a stock or capital is
subscribed and dedicated to meet the exigencies and maintain
the credit of the establishment ;—a private Bank is, where a
few persons join their united credits, and set up a ank with-
out a known capital. In the first case, in consequence of the
Bank being managed by a Court of Directors, publicly chosen,
who have no power to apply its capital, or the sums deposited
with it, to any but their legitimate use, no misapplication of its
funds can take place. In the latter case, by an understanding
amongst themselves, they can without any fraud (speaking le-
gally) apply or rather misapply the funds of the Bank in any
way they may think proper. We are disposed to think it pro-
bable, adds our Correspondent, that the failure of the East
Lothian Bank, though a Scotch Bank, will prove an exception
that will establish the rule.—(Durham Advertizer, April 19.)
