(Tat Timm.]
For the long extracts of letters- which we pub-
lish this day, from a thoroughly well-informed
correspondent at the Cape of Good Hope, we
make no apology to our readers; the letters will
be their own recommendation: however spirit.
edly or gaily treated, the subject is of universal
interest to a free community. The Government
--thank God, we may at last venture to call it
the late Govermout—at the Cape of Good Hope,
has been pregnant with materials for bringing to
a .decisive WWI fleas question 'which of all others
is most important, tnost urgent, least Susceptible
of evasion, but at the price of ruin, to the whole
frame and constitution of a limited Monarchy. 7.
viz:l:whether men accused of having betrayed,
by practices the most indefensible, the most
sacred of all national trusts, she* or shall not
be brought to open trial—whether he who is pub-
licly charged with being a criminal, shall or shall
not be placed at' the bar to purge himself of the
accusation, art° receive the condign punishment of
his guilt : this, we say, is a question fit to be en-
tertained, to be discussed, and decided by every
reasoning individual among a free people, forcing
those who boast of being our representatives to
inquire into' the alleged wrongs of our distant
fellow-subjects, to save the King's Majesty from
being soiled by the character of its delegates,
and, the honour of England from being tarnished
indelibly by the triumph of a privileged oligarchy
over plain sense and justice. We call upon Mr.
BrOughaur to redeem the solemn pledge given in.
Parliament, that he will, if evidence be attain-
able for such a purpose, impeach Lord Charles
Somerset, now or recently Governor of the Cape
of good Hope. This man stands charged,
we- know not bow justly, in most of the
communications which have reached this coun-
try from this colony, with having abused
the powers confided to him for the good
of' the inhabitants, and for the public service.
Men have fled front the Cape to make known in
England their private wrongs, and to clahn the
protection of the King's Government against its-
olficial They have been sent
back by Ministers of State with assurances of
indemnity for the past, and of security for the
future. They were told that their violated rights
should be freely enjoyed, and their plundered
property be restored to than undiminished. At
their return to the colony, their claims of redress
were laughed at; and the promises and pledges
of the Government at home were, under the
cloak of being discredited, held at cool defiance.
At length, when the patience even of Ministers
was exhausted, the system of the Governor was
suddenly changed fresh beauties of character
were soon disclosed to the thbusand eyes
intently fixed upon his proceedings; courtesy
end flattery, and the arts of seduction, were
subaititated: for the swipess of power ; and
the extreme of canning was found blended
in the same moral composition with via.
hence and overbearing. It reroaius to be seen
how this will end. We trust the witnesses al-
ready in England, and Colonel Bird, former
Secretary thider,this very Lord Governor, at the
head of them., pill be laid hold of in time, and
forced to give Parltatio:ot the benefit of their
iirtiple knowledge. We are most ansiens that

Government., whose credit with their country
involved iii every part of this important
esnse. We trust that Mr. liortoti will tint

an absurd expression ; a whole people cannot
conspire against one man ; public opinion is not

We received last night by express French
Papers to the 17th and the Elate of Tues-
day. The latter asserts, on no other authority
than that of private letters, extracted from the
Austrian Obserwer, however, Oat Constantine'
himself had, proclaimed his brother Nicholas
Emperor at Warsaw. It also states that the in,
dividuals who shot General NliloradoWitch and
wounded": two other Generals, had been dis-
covered and arrested. Letters from Berlin,
published in the other Journals, give a much
less favourable socount of the events at
Spint Petersburgh thin those which have
appeared in the Etuile, and represent the
resistance and the carnage to have been great
and prolonged. According to these statements,
it was whilst Te Deum was singing in the Church
of St. Alexander Newski in presence of the Im-
perial Family, that two whole regiments drew up
in order of battle before the church accompanied
by an immense multitude of people, from whom,
as well as from the soldiers, issued repeatedcries
of 44 No Nicholas Psolowitch!" " Down with
Nicholas Paulowitch 1" The Emperor thought
that his appearance would repress the tumult
which went on increasing. He presented himielf
on horseback before the line of the soldiers who
renewed the cries of 44 No Nicholas !" before
his face. lie then made a sign that he wished
to speak, and they were silent. " Here I
am," he said, " what will you have ? Say freely
what you ask, and, if you think it proper, fire."
They took him at his word, and fired ; the con.,
fusion increased ; the Emperor speedily retired ;
troops on whom he could depend were sent for
and cannon was brought. The two regiments end
the people persisted in their opposition. A lire
of grape-shot was opened upon them, and they
were crushed, but not without much resistance.
The people also fired against the adherents of the.
Emperor, and three Generelw were killed in the
action. The few survivors of both regiments
were made prisoners and sent to the fortress
of Cronstadt, and it was not till late at
night that tranquillity was restored. "It is
not improbable," adds the account, 46 that
similar events may occur at the army on the
Pruth." This is indeed the more probable,
as some letters state that the armies in that guar-
ter expected Constantine to pat hiluseir imrne.7

[NEW Timnil
We yesterday received the Efoile, anti, ues-
flay, whicli ‘iverns to pUt a decisive end to all `the
!doubts raised by the other Frebch Journals rte.
epecting the eonduct of Con,tantine. They sug-
-oesird that he-lia& done nothing to confirm his
renunciation of the throne, ,subsequently to
the acceptance of it by Nicholas. The Doile
quotes official advice& from Warsaw, dated Ja.

nuary 1, which state that Constantine, im-
mediately on receiving the dispatches an-
nouncing the proclamation ofNicholas as Emperor,
convoked his Court, and irr the presence of his
wife, and of many Generals, read, with a loud
voice, the Ukase of the new Emperor, and
finished with shouting--" Hurrah ! Long life
to my well-beloved brother ' the Emperor Ni-
cholas the First, my gracious Emperor and
Master." The Journal des Debak gives it as
aumour from Berlin, "that there were some
movements at Warsaw ; but the firmness of
the Grand Duke Constantine promptly re.
pressed them : and tranquillity was soon re.
stored." This latter Journal; defeated in its
attempts to create an alarm about Russia, re.'
turns to its old declamation on the subject of the
Three per Cents. Singularly enough its article
begins thus--" It is always easy to lead
,men,
and to deceive them, when one has the talent of
disquieting them in regard to their interest."—
Nothing can be more true, nor can any thing
better illustrate that truth than the conduct of
those Journalists both in France and England,
who have within the last two months laboured to
undermine public and.private credit.

NOHNINti CiIItONICLII
We refer' oitr readers to the Debate in the
India fluuseot4he case of Mr. Buckingham. The
servants of the' East India Company not only
drove that Gentlenian from India, but with a
littleness which can never be sufficiently held up
to public odium, they determined that the pro-
perty he left in that country sl►quld in no
manner benefit him. The degree of harshness
in this case is really a disgrace to the coun-
try, from the bosom of - which men with such
want of kindly feelings could spring. Mr.
Kinnaird made a erosible appeal in behalf
of this much-injured gentleman, and stated
(proh pudor) that he who left behind him in
India a good estate, was now, verging on the last
extremity of distress. 44 Be had Mr. Bucking-
ham's own authority for stating, that he did not
know that another month would not find him in
the walls of a prison, from his utter incapacity to
perform his pecuniary engagements." Sir C.
Forbes, to °whose disposition such proceedings
must be exceedingly repugnant, observed truly,
44 that it wits an unnecessary cruelty to go on till
they had driven him and his family to beggary ;
and that such was the case he would pledge his
word, for he had taken the trouble to ascertain
it." The motion failed, but the business is to be
again brought forward, and Mr. Hume gave notice
that he should take measures for having a Ballot.

PUBLIC Lemma.]
We have received the Paris Papers.or Mon-
day, with the Erode of Tuesday. The latter still
perseveres in maintaining that the Revolution
witich has taken piaci. on the Russian Throne
has the perfect concurrence of the nation, includ-
ing the tinny, ,and is not likely to be attended
with any unpleasant 'circumstances beyond those
which occurred on the day that the Emperor
Nicholas ,was proclaimed. As to any serious
interruption to the public tranquillity, the idea
is quite chimerical, according to that paragon of
impartial and independent Jo mils. It fur-
ther insists, Ihttt the Gra ' QoisaitootThe
was 'not or a free, Mit an ardent agent,
in those frapsactions ; end quotes the authority
of 21Yie Augiriaii Observer, to shew, that between
his professions and conduct there' exists the most
perfect harmony. This extract, if true, would
entirely overturn the conclusion we arrived at
yesterday, in consequence of the continued want
of direct news from Warsaw. It: states, that Con-
stantine has not only taken the oath to his brother
and caused those persons who were present at
this ceremony to do the snob-, but that he evinced
throughout the most lively satisfaction; and
concluded with a " hurrah." This imposing ee-
-1 remony is said to have taken place on the Ist inst.
at which the Princess of Loewletz, the wife
of the Grand Duke, was present ; and on the
following day the troops, were to take the oaths.
The representation was rather dramatic, though
we are not disposed' to dwell much upon this
point ; but if the conduct of the principal per-
sonage be correctly described, it is either an in-
stance of singular ingturnimity, or of dissimula-
tion truly Princely. It is to be regretted that
the number of the A:lariat; Observer is riot
given, us we have a regular series of that
Paper down to the 7th instant, and we have
looked in vain for the extract above-mentioned.
__we have also received Ilamburgh Paper to the
13th inst. in which there is not the slightest al.
lusion of a corresponding character ; and as tidings
of this kind would move with the utmost celerity,
it remains to be explained why a report of the
proceedings at Warsaw on the Ist instant, did
not reach ilarnburgh before the 12th. It is also
strange that it should have first reached the French
eupitalAv the ciremitous route of Vienna ; and still
:pore sttange, that it has not yet arrived in this
countr#4) but in the shape it has assumed in the
column* of the Etolle. However, we do not
Yenture•even to insiuuate that it is a forgery, only
it strikes us as extraordinary that a proceeding,
such as lae one which is said to have occurred
a 4 %assets, on the Ist instant, should still rest
upon the single and rather, doubtful authority we
have so ,often quoted. We have, moreover, re-
ceived the Augsbure,li Gazette (Mgemeine Zeit.
lung) to,the 12th instant,- and though it abounds
with references to the renunciation of Constan-
tine in favour of his brother,
.it has not the slight-
eat allusion to the ceremony at Warsaw,: ff this
ceremony hos really taken place as described,
it is at once strange and suspicious that two
weeks should nearly elapse, without any intelli-
gence of it reaching either Damburgh or Augs.
