TENNYSON'S remarks to call for even the shadow
of an apology. His Lordship's brother was

accused of invading the rights of the people.—
Well, and who, with the slightest respect
for truth, can say otherwise ? Did he not
discharge his tenants for voting in accordance

with the spirit of the Constitution D

he not interfere with the privilege of elections,
in direct contradiction to an express resolution
of the House of Commons ? And doing so,
did he not invade the rights of the people ? And
is Mr. TENNYSON to be called to account for
speaking in defence of those rights, and, in
that speech, confining himself within the strict
limits of truth and justice? We never in
the whole course of our lives, heard of a
more barefaced attempt at intimidation than this
of Lord CECIL. We are far from desiring to
speak disrespectfully of his Lordship, but this
we must say, that in the present instance he has
volunteered a quarrel which has neither justice,
common sense, nor expediency to recommend if,
and the motive for which no man, endowed
with the,slightest degree of reflection, can pos-
sibly misunderstand.

We refer to an article from the Chronicle in
another part of our Paper, respecting the absurd
rumour of the reduction of the Guards, which
we need hardly say is a weak invention of the
enemy.

The annual dinner of the Merchant Tailors'
Company took place on Saturday ; a great
number of individuals, ,distinguished more for
their rank than the quality of their speeches, at-
tended on the occasion, and talked as usual
about the " wisdom of our ancestors," which
certainly, as contrasted with their own, is

striking.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK.
By a Jamaica snail, arrived this morning, which sailed
on the 11th of May, Jamaica Papers have been received
at the North and South American Coffee-house to the
11th of May, and Quebec Papers to the Bth.
(From the Bogota Gazette, April 17.)
General Urdaneta, who has for some time been the Exe-
cutive Chief, has resigned his civil authority, but retain-
ing the chief command of the army ; his resignation was
strongly opposed by the Council of State, and the civil
executive power was confided to a Council of Ministers.
The General, with the sanction of the Council, was about
departing at the head of a strong force for the provinces of
Newa and the Department of Cauca, to restore order and
tranquillity, until the Congress could be assembled at
Leiva for a final termination of all differences; in his
proclamation, dated Bogota, 16th of April, he declares he
will exhaust every means of reconciliation before he re-
sorts to the sad alternative of unsheathing the sword, and
that the dearest wish of his heart is to see order restored,
an 1 then retire into private life.
(From the Pater of the 9th of May.)
We learn by the packet that General Logue had already
become very unpopular with the Carthaginians, as he
commenced his gallant career by confiscating the property
of the inhabitants, and he has in consequence spread dis-
may amongst the people. The general opinion at Cartha-
gena was that General Logue would not be permitted to
exercise his confiscatory authority much longer.
(From the Paper of the 6th of May.)
We were furnished, by his Maj-sty's ship Champion,
with the following from Colombia :—" Generals Montilla
and O'Leary were to sail in the Montilla American
packet, for New York. The schooner Kingston was not
at Carthagena, but was daily expected. General Sylva,
and 22 other officers, obnoxious to the new Government,
were about to sail for Curacoa. General Jose Maria
Obandn, Antonio Obando, and Lopez, have got possession
of Bogota, Popayan, and all the valley of Centre, and
have placed Dotnergo Caysedo, the late President, in the
President's Chair, till the determination of General
Mosquera is known, who is at New York. General Ur-
daneta retires into private life, and leaves the Government
of Nrw Grenada to the Liberals."
(From the Paper of the 4th May.)
The correspondence between Commodore Farquhar and
the new Governor of Carthagena is like that of a British
seaman, plain, but not to be mistaken, and we have no
doubt the gallant Commodore will take care that no fur-
ther insults are offered to the British flag. Bogota has
been taken possession of by General Obando. The Vice-
President, Marquesina, is reinstated pro tem.

TI:E FUNDS.

Owing to the depre.s4on in the French Funds, as well
as the appearance of politics looking vety gloomy in
France, our Fun.ls have been very sickly this morning.
Consols, which left off on S,tutday at 82i to ¢ for the
Account, opened at to with a very heavy market,
but to the present hour they have rather improved, and
may be quoted at 821.

HALF-PAST ONE.
Fro:n the Jamaica Papers received this morning :
" His Britannic Majesty's ship Blanche, Boca
Grande, Carthagena, April 27.

fallen into your Excellency's hands by force of arms, it
becomes my duty as senior naval officer at this port (Ja-
maica), and second in command of his Britannic Majesty's
naval force in the West Indies, to require an explanation
of your Excellency's intentions as to the fulfilment of the
existing treaties between Great Britain and the Colombian
Republic, particularly as regards peace, amity, and com-
merce, as well as the inviolable protection of his Majesty's
subjects and properly.

" As you have required me to inform you whether, on
my taking possession of this place, 1 achnlwledge or dis.

lombian Republic aid that of Great Britain, I have the
honour to state that I have always respected the solemn
engagements existing between the two nations; and now
that I fill the situation which has been confided to me by
the people, I shall most religiously adhere to the 'exist-
ing Treaties, and continue to cultivate good understand-
ing. " LUGUE.
" To Commodore Farquhar."

Carthag►rna capitulated without the loss of lives.
The private letters from Paris are rather gloomy, one
of them states that the troops are dissatisfied, and that the
government cannot trust them to march into Belgium.
There is a report on 'Change that the affairs of Belgium
will be amicably settleil.

Consols, which receded in the early part of the morn-
ing to 818, have improved to 8282 for the account, owing
to the above report.
