Pe.rnment can always have one hundred Members present
on whom it can count, this profound conception of the
Liberals will become null, and of no effect.—By to-mor-
row's post I will inform you of the probable event of
the ensuing elections. A rumour is afloat that M. CORRIERE
wishes for the return of M. de CHATEAUBRIAND, not as a
recal, but because he feels the fatigues of the Ministry of the
Interior too much. It is a report invented by the Liberals,
in the hope of preventing the electors from frankly seconding
the wishes of Government in the elections, a Frenchman being
cautious not to vote to-day for a Minister who may retire
to-morrow ; their trick will not succeed, as it is easily seen

through.

Charleston Papers to the 19th March, and
Baltimore to the 26th, have been received this
morning :

[From the Charleston Pa;ier, March 18.]'
Bythe schooner Dauntless, Niel, arrived at this Port in 14 days
from Havanna, we learn that the duties on all kinds of provisions
have been reduced there nearly 50 per cent., except flour, which
was expected to be reduced 30 per cent. ; the markets were dull.
We anticipate the greatest benefit from this Port being made a
deposit for merchandize of every description, as the situation
of this port and its superior harbour in all seasons, and the
tranquillity, in a political point of view, which it continues to
enjoy, amidst storms which agitate the surrounding colo-
nies, give it a decided preference over every other. Near us
already the average yearly crops of sugar exceed three
hundred thousand boxes, and of coffee thirty millions of
pounds. Cotton is also raised, but not abundantly, and also
Tobacco in this Island ; the value of these may amount to 12
or 15, millions ; the crop of Coffee this season is short, not
amounting to 18 millions; we consider that one half has already
been exported. Exchange on London, by which all others be-
gin to be regulated, is tom 14 to 4 5 per cent.
[From the Baltimore Paper.]
FROM BERMUDA.—Accounts from Bermuda state that the
markets were not as flourishing as. they had been ; the great
influx of American produce had reduced the article of flour to
six dollars a barrel. Vessels arriving at Bermuda, especially
at St. George, were much annoyed by a British 18-gun brig
called the Argus, which was stationed at St. George, and j
would not suffer a vessel to enter without detaining and over-
hauling her and her cargo, and putting a prize crew on board,
to prevent the revenue laws being infracted. Disaflection
among the inhabitants was daily augmenting ; placards were
posted up in most of the public places caricaturing Sir Wit-
LIAM Lt.r mLEY and his officers.

Jamaica Papers arrived this morning to the
23d of March.

ST. BAT HoLE ME ws.—Capt. Pellot arrived yesterday with a
schooner; he had a brush with a heavy Spanish schooner bound
t 9 Porto Rico ; Pellot had 13 men wounded ; the Spaniards had
40 killed and wounded ; it is reported she brought about forty
thousand dollars in specie.
We regret to state that his Honour the Lieutenant-Governor
was taken suddenly and alarmingly ill on Monday afternoon ;
and it is with equal pleasure we have to announce that he is in
a fair way of recovery.—(Jamaica Chronicle, 29th llfarch.)
Accounts received from Puerto Cabello state, that General
;Morales left that place on Saturday in the Hercules brig of
war, with 125 men, principally officers, to join a division of his
party at Chichiribichi.— (Curacoa Gazette, 2d inst.)

InELAND.—We have received this morning the
details of numerous outrages, some of them of
the most atrocious kind, such as the burning of
dwellings, the severe flogging and other maltreat-
ment of peaceable individuals, &c. Amongst
these, there is one marked by features of pecu-
liar and ungrateful turpitude, General Rock
having burned three farm-houses on the estate of
a gentleman in Limerick, who actually sup-
ports, from his own private pocket, not less
than four hundred and eight of the pauper
peasantry, that have no other means of pre-
sent subsistence but what is furnished by his
bounty. The offence of the farmers, whose homes
and property have thus been destroyed, was
nothing more than the payment of their rents
(notwithstsnding the notices to the contrary which
had been served upon them) to the generous in-
dividual who so munificently employed his wealth
for the relief of the wretchedness around him !
The miscreants, besides burning down the farm-
houses, miserably lacerated the bodies of the te-
nants, and cut down six hundred and
.filly ash
trees, evidently for the purpose of converting
them into pike-handles, about 6 feet of the most
proper part of each for that purpose having been
deliberately severed and taken away, while the
remainder of the stems, and the tops, were left
upon the ground ! From some of.the houses burn-
ed down iu other quarters, the hapless inmates
with difficulty escaped with their lives.—Sir ED-
WARD O'BRIEN has reduced the rents of his farms,
which lie i❑ the very heart of the Courtenay
Estates, in some instances from fifty shillings
an acre to twenty shillings, and has besides ge-
nerously exonerated his tenants from their
arrears. The Limerick Paper cont,ains the
names of seventy men who have absconded
from their dwellings.—ln the County of Clare,
Major WARBURTON'S Police have ►iterally sub-
scribed three hundred pounds to the fund for the
relief of the starving poor.—The Assizes for the
County of Limerick concluded on Monday last.
Sentence of death has been passed upon nineteen
prisoners, and the days for their execution fixed.
Five were sentenced to seven years, and one to
fourteen years transportation. Four to various
terms of imprisonment, &c.

We can with the utmost confidence state, that
the assertion in a Paper of Friday, of his MA-
JESTY being in " an exceedingly delicate state of
health," is totally void of foundation. His MA-
JESTY, the public will be rejoiced with us to hear.
has not enjoyed better health and spirits for the
last twenty years than he possesses at present.—
(Morning Post.)

Yesteiday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council
was held at the Foreign Office, which was attend-
ed by the LORD CHANCELLOR, and all the other
Cabinet Ministers. The Council broke up at a
quarter past three. The ATTORNEY and SOLI-
CITOR-GENERAL were in attendance.

REPEAL OP THE NAVIGATION SYSTEYL-011
Saturday last, Mr. R. TAYLOR, Mr. BUCKLE,
Mr. BAMBRIDGE, and several other Gentlemen,
attended at Fife-House, on this
.important sub-
ject. We understand, besides the Earl of LI-
VERPOOL, there were only present Mr. VAN-
SITTART, Mr. ROBINSON, and Mr. WALLACE.—
On measures of such vital importance to the
Empire, it was thought that Earl BATHURST
and the Marquis of LONDONDERRY would like-
wise have attended. We have not heard the points
which were more particularly discussed, but we are
informed that the deputation retired with the
impression, that it is the 'fixed determination of
The Board of Trade to urge the Legislature to
adopt the several Bills now before Parliament for
the REPEAL of the Navigation and Colonial
System ; 'which, if passed into Laws, not a vestige
of the present beneficial system will be left, or
any specific plan or scheme substituted for it !!
