Industry and Commercial Enterprize are

I(ing"rn• It is therefore the more to be regret-
led that Associations should exist in Ireland,

/Illicit have adopted proceedings irreconcileable

'with the spirit of the Constitution, and calcu-

'cued by exciting alarm, and by exasperating
aninl"ities, to endanger the Peace of Society,

and to retard the course of National Improve-

rnent
. .

" nis Majesty relies upon your wisdom to con-
sider, without delay, the means of applying a
remedy to this evil.

•" His Majesty further recommends the Ite-
Ilewal of the Inquiries instituted last Session into

the State of Ireland.

" ilia Afajesty has seen with regret the in-

terruption of tranquillity in India by the un-
provoked Aggression acid extravagant Pretensions

of the Burmese Government, which rendered

hostile operations against that State unavoidable.

" It is, however, satisfactory to find that none

of the other Native Powers have manifested any
unfriendly disposition, and that the bravery and

conduct displayed by the Forces already em-
ployed against the Enemy afford the most fa-

vourable Prospect of a termination of the contest.

" Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
44 His Majesty kip directed us to inform you

that the Estimates of the year will be forthwith

laid before you.

" The state of India, and circumstances con-

nectod with other Parts of His Majesty's Fo.

reign Possessions, will render some augmenta-

tion in His Military Establishments indispensable.
" Ills Majesty has, however, the sincere gra-

tification of believing', that notwithstanding tho in-

creased expence arising out of this augmentation,

such is the flourishing condition and progressive
improvement of the Revenue, that it will still

be in your power, without affecting Public
Credit, to give additional facilities to the Na-
tional Industry, and to make a further reduc-
tion of the Burthens of the People.
" My Lords and Gentlemen,

" His Majesty commands us to inform you,

that His Majesty continues to receive from

his Allies, and generally from all Princes and
States, assurances of their unabated desire to

maintain and cultivate the Relations of Peace

with His Majesty, and with each other, and

that it is His Majesty's constant endeavour to

preserve the general tranquillity.

" The Negociations which hare been so long

carried on through His Majesty's Ambassador at

Constantinople, between the Ewporor of Russia

and the Ottoman Porte have been brought to an

amicable issue.

" 11 is Majesty has directed to be laid before
you, Copies of Arrangements which have been
entered into with the Kingdoms of Denmark and

Hanover, for improving the Commercial Inter.

course betweeu those States and the United

Kingdom.

" A Treaty, having for its object the more

effectual Suppression of the Slave Trade, has
been concluded between His Majesty and the
king of Sweden, a Copy of which Treaty (as
soon as the Ratification thereof shall have been

exchanged) His Majesty has directed to be laid

before you.

46 Some difficulties have arisen with respect to

the ratification of the Treaty for the same object,

which was negociated last year between his

Majesty and the United States of America.

" These difficulties howt.ver, he trusts, will not

finally impede the conclusion of so beneficial an

Arrangement.

" In. conformity with the Declarations which

have been repeatedly made by His Majesty,
His Majesty has taken measures for confirming

by Treaties the Commercial Relations already

subsisting between this Kingdom and those Conn-

tries of America, which appear to have esta-

blished their separation from Spain.
" So soon as these Treaties shall be complet-

ed, His Majesty will direct copies of them to

be laid before you.

" His Majesty commands us not to conclude,
without congratulating you upon the continued

Improvement in the state of the Agricultural

Interest, the solid foundation of our National

Prosperity, nor without informing you that
evident advantage has been derived from the

relief which you have recently given to Com-

coerce by the removal of inconvenient Restric-

tions.
" His Majesty recommends to you to persevere,

as circumstances may allow, in the removal of
similar restrictions, and llis Majesty directs us

to assure you, that you may rely upon His Ma-
jesty's cordial Co-operation, in fostering and

extending that Commerce, which, whilst it is,

under the blessing of Providence, a main source
of strength and power to this Country, contri-

hutes in no less a degree to the happiness and

civilization of mankind."

The French Papers of Monday and private
Letters from Paris of the same date arrived last
night. it appears by the former that the Cham-
bers had not yet proceeded to discuss the im-
portant projects of law laid before them ; and by
the latter we are informed, that the commission
appointed to examine the project of law for in-
demnifying the emigrants, have found their task
so difficult, from the increasing pretensions of
the Deputies and ()tilers interested in the result
of their labour:,, that in order to satisfy the de-
mands of all these parties, by the amendments
they will be obliged to introduce, it will not be
possible to present their report before the Ic2th or
15th instant.

We have inserted in a preceding column ex-
tracts of the news contained in these Journals.

Berlin Papers contain the following articles
from St. Petersburg!' of Dec. 31 :

" A short time ago the Minister for Popular Instruction, at
a meeting of the Members of the chief board for the direction
of the Schools, made a ♦ery remarkable speech, in which he
attempted to settle the question which has been warmly can-
vassed in our times respecting the benefit or mischief arising
froni the general education of the people. We will therefore
give the conclusion of the speech :
" The Sciences, besides, are beneficial only when they are
taught and applied like salt in due measure, according to the
state of the people and the wants of each class. To teach the re-
finements of language to the whole nation or to a disproportionate
part of it, would do more harm than good. To give to the son
of the peasant instructions is rhetoric would make him a
bad, useless, and even mischievous citizen.. Hut every one
needs precepts and instruction in Christian virtues and good
morals : they remove nobody from the place which fate has
assigned him, and make him in all situations and cases. re-
spectable, modest, contented, and happy. A pious and indus-
trious husbandman, as a good husband, a tender father, a peace-
able neighbour, a man of moderate wishes, who gains his.daily
bread by the sweat of his brow—is, in my opinion, much more
enlightened than the crafty learned man who is versed in all the
sciences, but following the impulse of his immoral passions, tor-
ments himself with Ilia incessant reveries, and brings others from
the right road of a quiet and happy life. I am convinced, Gentle-
men, that their opinions of merit are not different from yours,
and hope that when we perform on this basis the will of him
who sent us, we shall by our zeal and assiduity call down the
blessing of God upon us, render.ourAelvez worthy of the favour
of our Sovereign, and be able to do the most essential services
to the country."—( Vicuna Court Gazette, Jan. 20.)

A Jamaica Mail arrived this morning. The
following are extracts :
[Front the Jamaica Royal Gazette, Dec. 23.]
gatract of a Letter from Panama, the 2d instant:—" I hare
not heard a word of news from Peru since I last wrote to you.
I am persuaded that all operations have been suspended in that
quarter, on account of the rainy season, which sets in in that
country about the month of October. The arrival of the Asia
Spanish 64 at Callao, caused, I believe, the blockade of that
port to be raised ; but it would appear that she does not intend
to do any further mischief in the cause of independence. The
expedition that sailed from this on the 20th of October, with
4,500 effective men, well clothed and armed, must ere this
have reached Truxillo, on the coast of Peru, where they were
to have disembarked, and will enable Bolivar to decide the fate
of Peru." •

(From the Jamaica Courat.tt, Dec. 11.)
The Francis :'reeling packet, Captain Cunuingham, arrived
yesterday from Carthagena.
(From the above Pap& of the 18th.)
It is generally expected that the House of Assembly will be
prorogued this day.
ST. JAGO DE LA VEGA, DEc. o.—The Honourable House
of Assembly having finished the business of the Se►sion, his
Grace the Governor was pleased to prorogue it.
:Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly,
I have passed all such Bills as base been presented to me,
and feel great pleasure in granting you a recess. The measures
you have adopted for the protection and encouragement of the
slave population, although not corresponditr: with the wishes
and expectations of his 3lajesty's Government, I trust I may
consider as an earnest of your intention to avail yourself of all
opportunities of improving their condition, and rewarding their
industry and good conduct.

According to intelligence of a late data from
Cadiz, serious differences had arisen between the Royalist Gen.
CAMPANA, and the French Commander in that city. Instead
of complying with the demand of the former that three De-
puties of the Cortes who had fOund shelter in Cadiz should be
given up to be tried, or rather sacrificed, General LaToutt
Forssac had turned the officer and the troops sent to execute
his orders, out of that garrison, and had left them at liberty to
join the Spanish Intendant of Police whom he had previously
compelled to retire to Chiclana in consequence of the persecut-
ing spirit which that individual had displayed. It appears,
however, that though behaving at once in a wise and tem-
perate manner, the French Commander conceived that he was
incurring considerable peril. Many of the measures which he
was adopting were measures of precaution. He augmented the
fortifications of that place and its avenues to such an extent, that
it was thought, or at least said, that in four months it would be
rendered like Gibraltar, impregnable. Numerous pieces of
artillery had been brought from the new foundery at Seville to
arm the works, and every thing seemed to indicate that the
French intended to hold Cadiz for a considerable time.

Dortn, FEB. 2.—The Britannia Steam Packet
arrived last evening from Calais with his Excellency 1)on C.
Los Eros, Ambassador from Spain, with the Count Trasta-

family vault at Ilothfie]d, in this County, for interment. H.
BAR I NG, Esq. M. I'., and several other passengers, arrived in

A private letter from Kingston in Jamaica,
dated the 25th December, states that ti►e
Colombus merchant ship had just arrived, and was
boarded on Monday the 20th of that month, off
Cape St. Nicholas, by the Colombian brig Eagle,
who reported that a French fleet was off St.
Domingo.

Letters are in town from Carthagena of the
27th December: they bring no news.
Yesterday, at one o'clock, a Cabinet Council

IVhitehall-place, to hear and determine Planta-
tion Appeals ; Lord GIFFORD presided ; Lord
STower.r. and Sir JOHN NICHOL'', were also in at-

Amongst the new speculations of the day is
one for making an open street from Southwark-
bridge to the Mansion House. It is proposed
to let all the houses in chambers, and it is calcu-
lated that the Bridge, which is now unprofitable,
will be much benefited by this improvement.
