has restored several of the conspirators to their nobility and rank
in the army. The mortality at Groningen bad abated—thedeaths
last week were 85, being 43 less than in the preceding.

By the Jamaica packet we have received Mexican
and Carthagena Papers to the 14th Sept. inclusive,
but their contents possess little interest. The non-
arrival of Bomvmt had produced some disappoint-
ment at Bogota ; but it turns out that the false report
had been given by an Officer who had been sent home
under arrest. The El Constitutional relates another
instance of gross outrage committed by the soldiery, at
the instance of a Priest, upon an American, who did
not instantly kneel down to the Host, because ho did
not understand the language.

The Jamaica pecket has brought Papers to the
16th October, inclusive. The following are ex-
xacts

The Hon. House of Assembly met on the 10th October, agree-
ably to his Grace the Governor's Proclamation for the dispatch of
public business. The House then unanimously chose the Ho-
nourable David Finlaison their Speaker, . who being con-.
ducted to the chair, Mr. Stewart and Mr. Robertson were
appointed a Committee to wait on his Grace the Governor, and to
acquaint him therewith, and to desire to know when they should
attend his GraCe to present their Speaker, when he was pleased
to say immediately. A message from the Governor, ',commanded
the attendance of the House in the Council Chamber, whereupon
the Speaker and the whole house went up, when his Grace was
pleased to make the following Speech
Getcrmassim or TICE Cia4ll4 el 4,
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly, I have called
you together at an earlier period than usual, in order to afford you
ample time for deliberating upon certain propositions regarding
.the slave population to which I have been instructed to draw your
attention.

I shall lose no time in putting you in possession of the sub-
stance of the instructions I have received, and I have no doubt
that you will entertain them with that respect which is due to all
subjects submitted to you by his Majesty's command.
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly.--I bust that
you will grant such supplies as may be found necessary for the
public service.
Gentlemen of the Council, Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the
Assembly,—The anxiety his Majesty's Government will feel to
hear the result of your proceedings, induces me to hope that you
will take into consideration the several matters which will be
brought before you, without delay. It will form'a most pleasing
part Of, say duty should your policy and wisdom enable
me to 'fay at his Majesty's feet a code of laws re-
specting :the slave population, conformable to the spirit of
the two Houses of Parliament, and .at the same time advan-
tageous to this Colony. On a motion a Committee was ap-
pointed to prepare a humble Address to his Grace the Governor
for hie speech.
Two other message were then sent from the Governor, one re-
commending the House to second the views of his Majesty's Go-
vernment, respecting the Slave Trade, and the other to make pro-,
vision for a suitable residence for the Bishop of Jamaica.

We are prevented by want of space inserting, from
a Cotemporary, an article under the title of " Portugal
and Spain," upon the present state of the affairs of the
Peninsula.

For our own parts we consider the conduct of Spain
is such, as to justify the apprehension, that she will
be mad enough to attempt to overthrow the new order
of things in Portugal. Her conduct has evinced the
most deadly hatred to the liberal institutions established
in that country, and if she has not already committed

the acts of hostility againstPortugal,she has encouraged
discord, which has existed partially in some of her
Provinces, and has not only received her deserters, but,
.according to recent accounts in the French Papers, has
clothed and equipped them:
Blind and infatuated as the Government of FER-
DINAND has skewed itself, still we cannot conceive
that it could- have adopted the course which it has pur-
sued with regard to Portugal, nor could it entertain
serious intentions of any act of aggression on her ter-
ritory, or interference with the affairs of her Govern-
ment, unless instigated by the secret Councils of
France, and assured of her approval and co-operation.
Spain, subjugated as she is, could not dare to,move,
except under such influence and with the promise of
such aid ; aid if France did not encourage her in her
views, but, on the other hand, opposed herself
to them with frankness and sincerity, the Court
of Madrid could not for a moment do other-
wise than renounce distinctly any intention of interfer-
ing with Portugal. Other circumstances also conspire
to lead to the conclusion that France secretly encou •
rages Spain i❑ her hostile views against Portugal. Her
retaining possession of all the strong forts of the King-
dom, and maintaining an army there so loiig after the
time fixed for its withdrawal, with the activity
now evinced in the naval arsenals of. France, are striking
proofs that she does not view with indifference the
state of affairs between the two kingdoms. Without
being in any degree alarmists,' we should not be at all
