Ministers have at last vanquished the reluc-
tance of the Bank Directors, who meet this day,
for the purpose, us it is believed, of arrang-
ing the plan for administering the propos-
ed relief to the Commercial World. Most
heartily shall we rejoice, if the interposi-
tion of the Bank should administer the full mea-
sure of alleviation anticipated. That the holders
of property may, in some instances, be ex.
tricated from embarrassments which menace
.them with ruin, is a natural expectation,
and that present relief will be extensively diffused,
there can be little doubt. But that the Bank
Notes, advanced on goods, can suddenly restore
credit, or repair the losses of individuals, it were
unreasonable to hope. Many to whom assistance
Will be afforded on the deposit of goods, may
nevertheless finally sink. From the observations
in both houses last night, the period for which loans
will be granted on goods, is not to be extended
beyond that for which gOods are represented by
paper discounted at the Bank, 3 months.- Within
that period there can be no expectation of lessening
the Stocks on hand materially, by sales ; hence
when the credit has expired, the property
pledged must be put up to public Sale—and from.
what quarter can funds be supplied to take off
the goods that will be thus simultaneously forced
upon the market I It is not unreasonable
to suppose, that it will be impracticable to effect
sales, and then the period of credit must be ex-
.tended. Of this, and very many other difficulties
the Bank are perfectly aware, and hence the de-
cided aversion of the Directors to the measure. Such,
however, is the financial situation of the country,
that it is the only source of relief, to which Mini-
sters can resort. From the Return laid before

the House of Commons, the Unfunded Debt,
Consisting of Exchequer Bills, and Deficiency
Bills unprovided for, amounted to 33,543,017
on the sth of January, 1826. We never for a
moment doubted the determination of Ministers
to persevere in refusing to relieve the country, by
4 fresh issue of Exchequer Bills ; and the
ghservations of Lord LIVERPOOL, last night,
ttt 'reply to the Marquis of LANSDOWN confirms
Elecidedly, the correctness of our views on this
Pc'int• His Lordship, though admitting the
inconveniences suggested with regard to advances
°' goods by the Bank, observed, gg That
cF all Alko objections made against Rdvances

"on goods by the Bank, applied with ten-
" fold greater force, to any attempt to give
" relief by issues of Exchequer Bills. In the
" present state of the Market it was perfectly
"'visionary to talk of relief by an issue of Exche7
" quer Bills. Unless the Bank were to cash them
" there could be no relief. But the Bank could not
" render those Bills available, like goods, on
66 which it would be most imprudent to make ad-
" vanees for a longer period than on discounted
64 Bills—that is, a period of two or three
44 months." That such was the considera-
tion by which Ministers were governed,
we have invariably urged as decisive, against
all hope of relief through the medium of au issue
of Exchequer Bills.

The Buenos Ayres Mail has brought us the
Argus to the 3rd, and other Papers to the 16th
of December. They give no accounts of any
hostile proceedings on the part of Buenos Ayres
or Brazil against one another, nor would it appear
that any active steps were taking on either side.
We beg attention to the recital here given of the
treatment experienced by the officers and passen-
gers of the English steam packet, Druid, from
the Brazilian naval force in the Uruguay. We
subjoin a few extracts :

FRO3t VERA CHUZ.—lire learn by a letter from Vera Cruz
of the 9th uh., that the: Government had put a stop to the
coasting of foreign vessels between that port and Alvarado.
It will be recollected, that immediately after the surrender of
the Castle of San Juan de Ulloa, the merchants at Alvarado
petitioned the Government to allow them to transport their pro-
perty to Vera Cruz in foreign vessels, which was granted. It
now appears that this permission has been withheld, in conse-
quence, as is said, of its proving a very profitable business to
foreigners. The same letter mentions that the United States
brig Spark, Captain Newton, sailed from Vera Cruz on the Ist
ult. for New York, to touch at immediate ports.
The brig Mary Anu, Cogeshall, from Pernambuco for this

passengers, reached town yesterday, and state that the vessel
will be got off, two lighters being alongside taking out her
cargo. We learn from these Gentlemen that the Emperor of
the Brazils had issued a proclamation, stating that he had been
forced to the unpleasant measures of pressing men, and hoped
that his subjects would forgive him ; but it was absolutely
necessary to have troops, as he was surrounded by three armies
who were opposed to him, and calling upon his subjects to take
up arms in support of the present Government. By a short ar-
rival from the South, information had been received that Monte
Video was in possession of 'the Patriots, and the joy of the in-
habitants of Buenos Ayres, was such, that they surrounded the
house of the Brazilian Consul at that place and gave three
cheers. Several of the provinces on the Monte Video side,
which before were not attached to the Buenos Ayrean Govern-
ment, Ipd sent in their Deputies, and been received as indepen-
dent Sates ; in consequence of which the Brazilian Consul had
requested his passport, and left the place for Rio Janeiro.
The provinces in the North of the Brazils continue quiet. All
the peasants and free Blacks were pressed for soldiers, whom
they were continually sending to Rio Janeiro. The whole coun-
try was in a wretched state.
sou Tn AmEßlCA.—Advices from Cumana to the last of
December, and front La Guira to the Bth January, have
reached Norfolk. General Bolivar was expected at Bogata,
from Peru, in all the month of Janpary. It was reported at
Cumana that General Rodil, commanding at Callao, had capi-
tulated to the patriot forces. No political intelligence at Cu.-.
mans. Information had reached there that the Spanish pri.
vateers were committing depredations on the Colombian ves-
sels in the Ghlf of Pura and the windward coast of Guira, and
the Pinchincha and Indepencia sloops of war had sailed from
Cumana in pursuit.
A skirmish took place off Matanzas a few days previous to
the 16th of January, between an English and two Spanish
schooners, with troops on board ; one of the latter vessels fired
into the English schooner, which soon after boarded her, spiked
her guns, and carried her into the Moro; ordered her Consort
to follow her, which order was promptly complied with.
[Nero York Gazette, Feb. 8.1
COLOMBIA....—WC have received, by the ship Canton from
Carthagena, Bogota Papers to the 29th December inclusive,
bat do not observe any, thing of general interest. The paper
of the latest date contains some editorial remarks on the subject
of the approaching Session of Congress. Among other subjects
which fall under the notice of the Editor is that of the financial
department, and it appears, from his remarks, that there was
a want of system and method in that branch of the administra-
tion from which he infers that all future prospects are chimeri-
cal, and the independence of the country but a name. We ex-
tract the following from his remarks :
" Clogged at present with a debt, which, notwithstanding all
that has been said and written upon the subject to us, is very
considerable, it is absurd to talk of the riches of our soil, our
resources, &c.i if we cannot find means without increasing what
we already owe, to pay the interest of what we are indebted to
foreign capitalists. Before it be too late we should reflect seriously
on the best means of providing for the future, and that is in our
opinion but short.sighted policy which would conceal the extent
of the abyss because we do not at once perceive the proper way to
avoid it. It is now upwards of 4 years since this country has been
settled under an established form of government, and up to this
hour not a single plan has been laid bethre the country for the ad-
ministration of our revenue, not a single export comprehensive of
the system of our receipts and expenditures, and of the beat mode
of providing for our current expences, submitted the public eye.
The moment however is fast approaching, when every thing
of this kind must be done; and it were much better to do this,
while there is time, although but short, to put such resources as
we have to avert the impending ruin, into action, than wait until
even the best contrived plan for developing our.national wealth
would not have opportunity to unfold itself and produce the
anticipated results; and thus disappoint the well-founded and
eager expectations of the country.'
Mexican papers of the 10th ult. have reached here by the
schooner Lion. General Wilkinson died in IlleXico the latter
end of December, and his funeral took place on Ist January.
Intelligence of the surrender of Callao had reached Mexico via
Guadalaxara. The Mexican Congress commenced its Session
Ist January. A flattering picture of the affairs Of the country is
given in the Message of President Victoria.
WASHINGTON, Fin. 4, 1826.-I'4 House of Representa-
lives 'yesterday adopted the resolution calling for information
on the subject of Pimanie, in the form in which it was amend-
ed by Mr. Webster, by a vote of 124 to 40.

The proposed Law of Primogeniture is warmly
discussed in the French Papers. By the existing
law, a portion of the property of the father of a
family is left at his own disposal—ra half when he.
has only one child, a third when lie has two, and
a fourth in the case of any number above two.
By the Bill before the Chamber of Peers, if the
father dies intestate, or makes no use of the dis•
posable portion of his property by gift in his life-
time, that portion goes by law to the eldest son.
This provision, however, is confined to landed
property, of such a value as to enable the pro•
prietor to be an elector. The other provision of
the law is to allow entails to a limited extent.
Neither of these rules, however, are binding on
the proprietor as the existing law : he may divide
his land equally among his children as before.
The discussion has not yet commenced in the
Chamber.

MANEUESTER DEPUTATION.—, /DP DEPUTA-
TION from Manchester has had only one interview with his
Majesty's Ministers—namely, on Friday last, at Fife-house.
The gentlemen who compose the deputation are—Mr. George
William Wood, Vice-President of the Chamber of Commerce,
and Mr. John Kennedy, of Manchester; , Mr. Thomas
Ashton, of Hyde, near Manchester; Mr. George Jones,
of Bolton ; Mr. W. Fielden, of Blackburn ; and Mr. Thorn.
son, of Clitheroe ; representing, on this occasion, the three
great brandies of the industry of Lancashire—spinning, weav-
h?g, and calico-printing. They were accompanied to the inter-
view by their county members, Lord Stanley and Mr. Black-
burns, and received by Lord Liverpool, Alr. Robinson, Mr.
Peel, and Mr. Huskisson. Their statements of the very great
and hourly increasing distress of the labouring classes were
listened to with the steepest attention, and a strong disposition
was shown by the Ministers to alleviate, as far as was in their
power, the suffering of these innocent and unofl'ending victims
(as they termed them) of ruinous speculation and over-trading.
To the mode of relief by
Exchequer-bills, Lord Liverpool
stated that he entertained strong objections, and that he pre-
ferred, if it could he arranged, that the aid should be afforded
by the Bank of England. Lite Deputation retired, after receiv-

SETTLING DAY.—Tile general persuasion, o
the Bank having at length acceded to the sug.
gestion of Ministers, for extending relief to the
Commercial world, has sustained Consols, which
opened at 77. From the attention of the House
being generally directed to the arrangements
of the Settlement, there has been but little busi-
ness. Hitherto, the Settlement has proceeded
without any public defalcation. The security of
Money Stock might justify the inference, that
this will prove a Bear account. Consols advanced
from the opening price, to 77if for April account,
at which they continued till nearly 1, when the
quotation was 77.- money-77.i 4, for April ac-
count. The puts and calls were settled at 77.

gave for roams, if that event had taken place.
Until to-morrow, the result of the account,
whether Bear or Bull, cannot be ascertained.
