THE KlNG.—Brighton, February s.—We have
the satisfaction to observe, that the report at the
Palace to-day, on the important subject of the
SOVEREIGN'S health, has been of the most grati-
fying character. The answer to enquiries, morn-
ing and evening, was—" Ills 1114 J EsTr is muck

MR. CANNING.—The following letter has been
received by Mr. Bolton from Mr. CANNING, in answer to the
Resolutions which were passed at the public meeting, at the
King's Arms, on Friday last :

Foreign Office, Feb. 3, 1823.

MY DEAR Stn,—l have this instant received your letter of
Saturday, accompanying the Resolutions passed at the Meet-
ing of Freemen and Inhabitants of Liverpool.
The repeated testimonies of partiality which I have experi-
enced at the hands of my friends and constituents at Liverpool
have exhausted almost every form of acknowledgment on my
part ; so that I really want words to express, adequately, the
sense which I entertain of this last most kind and most consi-
derate expression of their sentiments.
I beg them to be assured, that this, and all otheracts of kind.
ness, have made an indelible impression upon my heart; and
that I shall be most happy in any opportunity of co-operating,
for their service, with the Colleague with whom I was for ten
years joined, and with the Friend whom I am, for the sake of
the Town of Liverpool, mosthappy to learn they have prevailed
upon to be proposed as my successor.
I am, with great truth and regard,
My Dear Sir,
Your obliged and faithful Servant,
Jolt:4. BOLTON, Esq. GEORGE CANNING.

The following is an extract of a letter from a
Merchant of Portsmouth to a respectable House
in the City, received yesterday morning :

" PoIITS MOUTH, FEB. 6.—Orders have been received at
this Dock-yard to prepare seven sail of the line for commission,
and to complete the full complements of the crews of the
guardships. The magazines are putting in proper order, and
shipwrights are employed stopping up the air holes of the Vic-
tory, &c. made while laying up in ordinary to check the dry
rot."

We can state on . unquestionable authority,
that the accounts which have appeared in the papers of this
country, of the death of the mother of NAPOLEON, are not
true. She is still alive, though in a very dangerous state, and
suffering much.--(liforfring Chronicle. )

DR. JENNEIL—The remains of this illustrious
and excellent character were deposited in the chancel of the
parish church of Berkeley, on Monday last, at three o'clock,
P.M. In a situation rather remote, the concourse of per-
sons, besides those immediately attendant on the ceremony,
was immense; the indications of respect, of reverence, and
of regret, were unequivocally conspicuous ; every eye was
moistened, mid every heart oppressed. In the ranks of those in
procession with the corpse were, Col. Berkeley, Col. Kingscote,
Col. N. Kingscote, Kingscote, Esq., Capt. Jenner, only
surviving son of Dr. J., Dr. Baron of Gloucester, Dr. Parry of
Bath, and writer of this tribute, Rev. Dr. NVerthington, Rev.
Dr. Davies, Rev. Mr. Halifax, Rev. T. Pruta, Rev. Cl.

The Emigrations which have been sanctioned
and patronised by Government, have rendered some very satis.
factory retuxns of their success, so as to lead to the apprehen•
sion that in misses where the settlers have been discon-
certed in their plans, it was, in some respects at least, to be
ascribed either to some deficiency in their operations, or probably
to some indiscretion towards the native clans, which probably
they misunderstood in their mode of treatment; but, upon
the whole, in the climates and soil selected for these distant
colonies, le places were so' likely to afford success, that the
rest depended wholly upon themselves. In a political view,
it is well observed by Colonel D. Stewart, in reference to the
emigrations of the tenantry of the Highlands, ‘4 it was the send-
ing forth colonies from a redundant population, which origi-
nally peopled the different regions of the earth. This was the
policy of Greece, Rome, and, in latter ages, of the Northern
nations, who in their migration southward overcame and ulti-
mately subdued the Roman empire. Wherever a nation has
cause to dread the evil of an over crowded population, every
encouragement should be given to adventurous men who would
raise themselves into station by the settling in other places, and
beginning a colony. This proud pre-eminence has at all times
been rewarded with the filial respect of a new people; while
the old Governments which they have left have embraced them
as children, and accorded the influence of their protection.
There are no instances of a parent nation forgetting their co-
lonies—happy were it for the history of humanity' if there
were no records that stain the annals of the other side ! But
the Scots have again reversed the picture; for although they
had settled in diffetent parts of the mission during many years,
yet in the contest which followed they brought their families
into Canada, where their young men Joined the Royal standard
of Great Britain.
It reflects much credit upon the spirited

HYDE l'Atta.—The ice on the greater part of
the Serpentine River bore yesterday, but the day
was too inclement for the exhibition of much di-
version. There were a few skaiters on it about
two o'clock, performing evolutions with um-
brellas over their heads. The snow drifted with
amazing force.
BURGLARY.-01) IVednesday night some rob-
bers broke into the house of Mr. Jolts
Trafalgar-terrace, Kent-road, and robbed a chest
of drawers in the front parlour,fromwhich they took
a quantity of wearing apparel, table and bed linen,
six table-spoons, and a dozen of silver tea-spoons.
They also broke open a beaufet, and took from it
a silver teapot, a silver coffeepot, a silver cream-
ewer, and a silver mug, and 30 sovereigns. They
stole frotu the kitchen some apparel belonging to
the cook, and carried a piece of cold beef out of
the larder, with which they regaled themselves
upon the kitchen table, and escaped with all the
property without disturbing the family.
