ANOTIIEtt REPORT.--That the -Holy Allies are
about to unite their force for the re-conquest of
South America. Will Great Britain yet stand
aloof ? We are arriving at a singular crisis. The
principles of free and legitimate Government may
come to a more rapid and fearful issue than
may have hitherto bef_!!! calculated. The United

States of Americ•a may form the great bulwark
against the immediate encroachments of the Legi-

limate. It becomes us then to be on the alert,
and to place at the helm of affairs a man who is

strong in his determination, yet cool in his mea-
sures.—Cßich,mond Enquirer.)
.131tAzu.s.—Our latest political advices from
Rio Janeiro state, that the project of a Consti-
tution was under discussion in the Cortes. It
recognizes the right of Trial by Jury, Inviola-
bility of Person and Property, Toleration of Re-
ligious Opinions, and Freedom of the Press.
[Extract of a Letter from Bahia, Oct. 1.1

With some slight exceptions our city is tranquil. A Com-
mander in Chief, appointed by the Emperor, has been sent
back to Rio Janeiro, tile troops refusing to acknowledge him :
since which, General Lima, who was appointed to the corn.
mind, having resigned, the command of the army has been
assumed by the Provisional Junta. 'We are promised a visit
from the Emperor, a measure which at this moment would be
very politic, and might serve to unite his subjects, and attach
them more firmly to his person."
IN SENATE, DEC. 10.—Resolved, That the
President of the United States be requested to communicate
to this House copies of such parts of the correspondence of the
late Minister of the United States at the Court of France with
the French Government, and such parts of the correspondence
of said Minister with the Secretary of State, relative to the
claims of citizens of the United States, for spoliations upon our
lawful commerce, as in the opinion of the President may not
be inconsistent with public interest.

This is the second day there has not been a
single Mail from the Continent.

It is with the deepest shame for the character
of a certain class of our working population, that we have to
state, that the diabolical system of throwing vitriol upon the
objects of their revenge is again revived in nll its atrocity. On
'Wednesday evening last, while a young man was going home,
a little before six o'clock, he observed five men standing upon
the public footpath, at the foot of the lane called the Witch-
lean, opposite to the Gallowgate Toll Bar; and when he
came up to them, one of them, without saying a word, dis-
charged a can of vitriol at his face, hut which, providentially
missing its aim, showered upon his hat, and burned it to
a cinder. Another of them discharged a can at his body,
which took effect upon his side, when they all ran off up the
lane, in the direction of Duke-street, and have not yet been
discovered. The young man was fortunately near his fa-
ther's home, whither he ran with all his speed, and by means
of shifting his clothes, and dashing water on his person, he
escaped without much injury. Had the monsters, however, succeeded in their hellish purpose, he would either have
been murdered, or rendered for life an object more horrible
than death. The young man is in no way connected with
the cotton manufactories of the city or suburbs, either by
himself or through his relations ; and as this dreadful system
has had its origin in these establishments, and has hitherto been
confined to them, it is supposed that the villains have mistaken
their victim. This is the more likely, from the fact, which is
now perfectly well known, that to escape being identified,
strangers are generally employed by the real conspirators to
perpetrate this savage crime, and these are left to discover the
unhappy individuals by a general description of his person.--
We will not, at present, point out what greater vigour should
be given to the law to enable the Magistracy to put a stop to a
system that carries more terror and destruction along with it
than any that has ever been heard of in civilized society ; but
We may mention one thing, which the public in general, and
particularly the population of the suburbs, owe to the Magis-
tracy and to themselses, which is strongly illustrated in this
instance. The employment of strangers to commit the crime
exposes every individual who may live in the neighbourhood to
the same risk as the person-whois marked out for vengeance,
and, if their horror at the system will not rouse them into a bold
and active search after the conspirators, we trust that the fear of
individual destruction will now induce them to lend a more
efEcient aid to the Magistracy in the way of information than
they have hitherto done.—( Glasgow Courier, Dec. 30.)

Yesterday his Excellency Baron WEATHER,
""Y Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary of his Majesty the King of PRUSSIA, jointly
With Mr- N. M. RorHscuun, and accompanied
by Mr. GREEN, Notary Public, cancelled and
deposited in the Bank of England the amount of
18,000/• in special bonds, negociated by Mr.
M• ROTHSCHILD, in 18.22, being the second
half of the sum fixed for the redemption of bonds
in the first year, and also the saving of the in-
terest on the 17,5001. in special bonds redeemed
on the Ist of July last.
The Duke of BELLUNO is said to persist in his
resolution, not to proceed to Vienna s!iorn of his
title ; and the Emperor of AUSTRIA IS understood
to be no less obstinate in his determination not
to receive a Minister, bearing a title borrowed
from a part of his dominions. In this difficulty
the King of FRANCE has in vain addressed a sup-
plicatory fetter to the Duke. who is probably
xiot rendered the less willing to postpone his
assent to the journey by the reflection, that his
presence in France produces considerable embar-
rassment to those who have displaced him.
The Duke of DaroN,annE has at length re-
solved, that the town of Wetherby is to be
re-huilt, and that oporations are to commence
early in the ensuing spring; the bridge too is to
be improved and widened. These, and the pro-
icted new road from thence,
bid fair to raise
ilat town to a degree of importance, which,
Judging, from its present dilapidated state, few
ould a short time ago have been sanguine
enough to anticipate.
