cuiei the Ultra-Royalist majority in the Cham-
ber with an eagerness to regain that inordi=
bate power, and to revive those public-abuses, of
which that party had the sole enjoyment under
the old regime. The discussion on the 'Budget
was resumed on Thursday, and was distinguished
by tie same acrimonious spirit.
The accounts respecting the present state, of
the relations between Turkey and Russia are
bet-) contradictory. In. some articles it is said
that the negociations are renewed with the
Pretp.ec,t of peace, whilst in others the ap-
Protching commencement of hostilities i 3 con-
fidently announced. The last news from
Constantinople are certainly • not of a na-
ture to confirm the hopes of the friends of
Peace. The tragical end of Am, it is again men-
tkbed, has produced such an extraordinary effect
?i! the Turks, that nothing is heard now at Con-
stantinople but cries of war against the Rus-
'lans, both from the inhabitants and the sol-
iery ; and this feeling is represented to have
heetl, so powerful that the Porte has been
%Veiled to yield to it, and to order the
t
rue'tis at Adrianople to march to the Danube,
whither they are actually proceeding, with the
Grand Vizier at their head. Extracts are given

IGag article by NICIOA CHIEFLA, the Captain
°f the Greek Navy, upon the death of Prince
I\l4HomEn ALI MrazA, eldest son of the Schell
of PtitstA. Subsequent accounts, however, from
l'ersia, contradict the reports of MiazA's death.

c(
News from Vera Cruz has' been received, dated
the 2d inst. The greatest confusion prevails in
that capital. According to the last accounts, a
conspiracy was formed against the actual Go-
varurnent, at the head of which was GAUDA-
LOUPE VICTORIA, one of the Chiefs of the Re-
volution in 1810, besides twenty others of the
same party. Their intentions were to establish
a Republican Government, and to imprison all
the MeMbers of the actual Regency, but they
have all been caught, and their trials had begun.
The French brig Peace, from Marseilles and
MarC.'iique, bound to St. Jago de Cuba, was
spoken by his Majesty's brig Bastard (arrived).
She reports, that ten sail of French men of war
had arrived at Martinique, for the purpose of
cruizing in the West Indies against piratical
vessels, five of whom were destined for the coast
ot: Cuba."

I'llt COLONIAL SYSTEM.—In compliance with
Wishes of many of our Correspondents at se-
l'eral of the Outperts, we have inserted in ano-
ther part of our paper Lord LONDONDERRY'S
Speech against the. American Intercourse Bill of
1806) which we earnestly recommend to the se-
Ikus attention of the Public, and we trust that
his it
alajesty's Government will pause before they
l'ellture to recommend the repeal of the Navi-
g4tion and Colonial System.

There never was a more unreasonable clamour
than that which the Opposition Papers are at-
t"lpting to raise on account of the letter which
111
r, ARBUTIINOT addressed to his political
frien
ds, and which was referred to by Lord JOHN
4tussELL in the House of Commons.—Has it not
41Ways been the case, that when Ministers, whe-
ther Whigs or Tories, wanted to carry, or op-
Pose, a particular measure, that they urged their
friends to be active on the occasion ?—lf Mr.
ARBUTHNOT had made only a .verbal re-
quest upon the subject, would there have
been any thing reprehensible in such con-
duct ? And where is there more ground for
eLlsure, because he expressed the same request
Writing ? The fault is in the folly or treachery
of the person to whom the letter was address-
ed 3, who, whoever, he is, has shewn himself
Wholly unworthy of the confidence reposed in ,

him, and may well be apprehensive of discovery,'
as he must be despised by the very persons who
have taken advantage of his treachery. But what
is the conduct of the Party in opposition, when
they are anxious to promote a favourite point ?
Do they not urge by personal intreaty, and no
doubt by letters also, their political connexions
to be active on the occasion ? It is well known
that during the first Administration of Lord
NORTH, the Opposition of. that day strained
every nerve to disgrace his character and to
effect his downfall. That the ytolitical friends
of Lord NORTH were equally active, in at,
tempts to defeat the schemes of Opposition
cannot be doubted, and in fact the same practice
has been always adopted by the Outs when they
were in, and by the I,ins when they were out.:—
It is said that " it is no blot till it is hit," but the
present blot was made by treachery, and it was
a very ridiculous :effort of indiscretion to bring it
into public notice, because the .very party who
now affect to condemn the measure would
most probably find it necessary on particular
occasions to resort to the same expedient, which
has always been practised, is always, expected;
and has been always,allowed. It is well known
that during the strenuous opposition that was
made against Lord NORTH, at the period al-
luded to, a person was actually kept in pay by
the Party to hasten in all directions to col-
lect the Members on their side of the ques-
tion, and to bring them willy nilly to the
Parliamentary field, that they might asset
in the battle. The measure is so common, and,
under all the circumstances of conflitting par-
ties, so little objectionable, that even the news-
papers would be wise in retreating from the
subject. After all, we- may venture to say, that
if the Party were now in power, and, upon any
pressing occasion, did not find a person in the
same situation as the writer of the letter equally
on the alert to support their measures, they would
consider him as neglectful of their interests, and
languid in the discharge of what they would
assuredly deem his official duly.

IttELAND.—We have inserted in aliother co-
lumn an article taken from the-Limerick Paper,
which shews that robberies and outrages are still
prevalent in our perturbed Sister Island. The
Special Commission, under the Insurrection Act,
of course continues its investigations in the
County Court... On the 13th instant, Patrick
Shehan was tried for having concealed arms in
his possession, and denying that he' had any
when he was called upon to deliver them up ;
he was sentenced, to transportation for seven
years. ; James Burdon, John Burdon, and Jere?
miah Conner, were brought to the bar for the
same offence, but not being ready with witnesses,
their trial was deferred to the following day.
Cornelius Corcoran and Denis Lucy were then
tried for being out of their respective dwellings
during the night. of the 6th of March: • • Mr. Ser-
jeant Lloyd, in. a very impressive address, con-
cluded with 'telling them, that " they 'must be
sensible that the Court by which they had
been tried was not less remarkable for its
firmness than for its lenity," and concluded
with informing them that 'they were discharged.
Cornelius Leary, James Brown, Tim Leary, John
M'Carthy, and Edmund Burke, stood charged
with being disorderly persons, by being found,
on the night of the 2d inst. within the hour pre-
scribed by the Act. They were all discharged
but M'Carthy, who was sentenced to. transpor-
tation for seven years. The Court sat on the
following day, when Robert Bouse, charged
with having concealed ammunition, and denying
that he had, was acquitted. Thomas Burdon,
James Burdou,and Jeremiah Connor, whose trials
had been deferred the day before, were then put
to the bar. The two Burdons were sentenced
to transportation for seven years, and Connor was
acquitted.

'We understand the KING-has signified his in-
tention 'not to embark on his aquatic excursions
this year. Yesterday, in consequence, the extra
exertions, which have been continued for several
weeks, to expedite the alterations making in the
Apollo yacht, ceased, and the work is proceeding
with only in the usual hours. She will not now
be ready to be taken out of dock for several
months.--(Mottley's Hampshire Telegraph.)
The Thistle of yesterday (a newly-established
Sunday Paper) says—" We have much pleasure
in announcing, on authority in which we place
the fullest reliance, that his MAJESTY continues
steady in his determination of visiting his ancient
kingdom of Scotland in the course of the ensuing
summer."

Yesterday Divine Service was performed to ihe
King's household, at the Palace in Pall-mall, by
the Rev. F. W. BLOMBERG.—The Duke of
YORK attended Divine Service- at --the Chapel
Royal, St. James's, yesterday.
On Saturday afternoon, at two o'clock, a Ca-
binet Council was held at the Foreign Office in
Downing-Street, which sat till half-past three.

In defez ence to the vote of the House of Com-
mons, it will be seen by our extracts from the
Gazette of Saturday, that his MAJESTY has newly
constituted the Board of Admiralty, so as to re-
duce the number of Junior Lords. from six to
four. The Board, therefore, now consists only
of the Chief Commissioner Lord MELVILLE, Sir
W. J. HOPE, Sir J. OSBORN, Sir G. COCKBURN,
and' Sir G. CLERK ; making two Commissioners
less. Sir H. Horiutat and Mr. KEITH DOUGLAS
are the Gentlemen whose services are thus dis-
pensed with at this Board,
