LONDON, ,
FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 1, 1828.

A new writ was moved for last night for the
election of a Member to represent Dover, in the
room of Mr. BOOTLE WII,BRAHAM, now
Lord SKELMERSDALE. We understand from
the best authority that Mr. TRANT will be the
new Member. The election will probably take
place on Tuesday.
A Writ for electing a Baron to serve for the
town and port of Dover issued this morning
from the Crown Office.

The Election of 'a Burgess to serve in Parlia-
ment for Hirwich, in the room of the late Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, Mr. HERRIES, will
take place on Monday next, the 4th instant.

The election of a Burgess to serve in Parlia-
ment for Haslemere, in the room of the Right
Honourable J. BECKETT, will take place on
Monday the 4th instant.

The Debate of last night in the House of
Commons will be read with much interest by
those who are concerned in the welF _4llO. and
tranquillity of Ireland. The speeches of Lord
PALMERSToN, and of the Right Hon. V.
FITZGERALD, contain such unqualified declara-
tions, that the present Administration has been
formed on principles of the strictest neutrality
regarding the Catholic Question, that the most
unreasonable must at least suspend their appre-
hensions that the patronage of Gdvernment is
again to be perverted to the propagation of
Orangeism. Both these Right Hon. Individuals
declared, in the most distinct manner, that they-
continued in office upon the positive conviction
that .a fair and honest neutrality was intended.
It is always the part of wise men to consider
what is the best course to pursue under diffi-
cult circumstances, rather than to indulge in
melancholy reflections on how much better their
situation might have been—and- the adoption of
right resolutions is often prevented by con-
cealing from our view the more favourable
circumstances in our lot. Thus we would
advise the friends of Ireland not to dwell on the
gloomy side of the picture, but to reflect on the
just grounds of hope which are contained in the
debate of last night. The conversion of Mr.
BROWNLow was very happily alluded to by Sir
M. W. RIDLEY—of him who was once the
bitter enemy, and is now the strenuous advocate,
of their cause. But independent of this, which
most may consider a forlorn hope, let the Irish
reflect, that by the declaration of one Cabinet Mi-
nister (to be corroborated, no doubt, by all the rest)
a perfect neutrality hasbeen secured for the Catholic
Question. As a proof of this, it was justly ob-
served that Mr. LAMB continues in office, the
very person who was selected by the late Admi-
-nistration, and who confessedly enjoys the con-
fidence and. good will of all parties in Ireland.
But.the.unimpeachable good faith and straight-
forward character of the Duke of WELLINGTON,
admitted even by his enemies, , should' alone sa-
tisfy them that the understanding of a neutrality
will be strictly acted up to. Tortuous Councils
are seldem familiar to the brave, and we suspect
that none will venture to suggest the slightest
departure from that course to which the Noble
Duke has once pledged his word.
• :With a Chief Secretary, therefore, favourable
`t'O tlelfr and wah a Cabinet pledged to
act
toil
claims,
of impartiality, we
would implore the Irish nation not to be cast
dowin by the apparent change in their condition,
but temperately and, perseveringly to appeal to
the justice and the gdod sense of th'e people of
England for a restoration of those
rights, which
they will never extort from her fears, by seditious
meetings and futile' threats of vengeance.

f Tuesday, and the Ga-
Thc French Papers o
zetic de France of Wednesday, contain no newt;

of interest or importance. In another column
we have inserted Elie only extracts worth notice—
and these refer to Turkey, but add nothing new.
The PORTE is anxious to facilitate the commu-
nication of intelligence between Smyrna and
Constantinople, and a line of Telegraphs is there-
fore to be established along the Dardanelles for
that purpose. This is judicious, for if news be
desirable the increased facility of communication
must enhance its value.

His Majesty's ships Asia and Albion, and
the Rose sloop, have arrived last night at Ports-
mouth, having been under the necessity of com-
ing home to undergo a thorough repair.

By the schooner Federal, arrived in the River
from Buenos Ayres, Papers have been received
at the North and South American Coffee-house,
to the 2d of December. The following are
extracts :

BUENOS AYRES, DEC. 2.--The United States' sloop of
war Boston, from Monte Video to Buenos Ayres, had nearly
produced a rupture, in consequence of the Boston having
had orders to proceed to the latter place. Commodore Biddle,
of the Macedonia, waited upon the Brazilian Admiral, to
acquaint him of the circumstance, in order that he might
avail himself of the opportunity to forward any commu-
nication he might have to make. The' Admiral, how-
ever, took the information in extreme dudgeon, asserting
that it was a direct breach of blockade. After some desul•-
tory argument on both saes, the Commodore told him that
the Boston's orders were positive, and that nothing but
force would compel her to desist from executing them.
Here ended the interview, and the next day the Boston
got under weigh for her destination, followed by the Im-
perial frigate Emperatriz. Captain Hoffman offered every
thing to be got ready for action, but soon afterwards she
was lost sight of.
On coming in sight of the Brazilian squadron, an officer
was sent, stating that Norton had received orders not to per-
mit any vessel to pass. For answer, Captain Hoffman
said he cared not for the blockading squadron's orders, but
that he should proceed for his destination. A second time
he prepared for action, and soon after Norton came on
board, when, seeing the preparations, he remarked, in a
sneering manner, he hoped they were not going to shoot
them. Captain Hoffman merely replied, that cloper,ded
upon their own condqct, and again stated his resolution to
proceed. Norton took his departure, and the Boston pro-
ceeded without further interruption.
Capt. J. G. Bynon bas been appointed, by a decree of
the Government, dated the 22d inst., second in command
of the national squadron.
The British barque packet Rinaldo arrived here on the
Ist December, from Falmouth.

Despatches have been received from Mendoza, announc-
ing the departure of a quantity of gunpowder and musketry
for this city."

By the Hague Courant, of the 30th ult., it
appears that the King of SWEDEN has deter-
mined upon convoking au extraordinary Storthing
of the Norwegians. We trust a better spirit
will prevail between his MAJESTY and his Par-
liament than existed last year :----

sTOCKMOL3I, JAN. 15.

His Majesty the King resolved on the Bth of this month
in the Norwegian Council of State, to convoke an extra-
ordinary Storthing, but the day of its meeting: is not yet
fixed.

KAMM, JAN. 29.
On the 27th arrived at Helvoetsluys the Wilhelmina,
Captain S. Palm, which left Batavia on the 27th Sept. ;
as we have already had accounts frotn the. Island to the
4tla of October,. it brings nothing new respecting the
state of affairs.

Harnburgh Papers to tbe-Q6th ult., have been
received this morning. They contain nothing
important of a political nature. The Duke of
RovlGo (SA va FLY) has gained a laW-suit
against the Treasury of Berlin, the Court having
awarded him the highest value of his estate.
It appears that the Swedish Ambassador at our 1
Couit is to be replaced by a Lieut.-General,
the pronunciation of whose name must be a
sad effort for the Master of the Ceremonies, on
announcing the Ambassador to his MAJESTY.
For our own part, though pretty familiar with
hard words, we can hardly spell Count BJORNST-
jERNA without counting our fingers, to see that
the number of letters is correct. As to pro-
nouncing the name we utterly despair—SKEL-
MERSDALE is nothing to it :---.

STOCKHOLM, JAN. 15.

Baron Von Stjerneld, our Ambassador at the British
Court, has, for personal reasons, asked his discharge from
that post. His Majesty has appointed for his successor
Lieutenant-General 'Count Bjornstjerna, who will enter
upon his office in two or three months.
On the entrance of Count Von Platen, on his office as
Governor of Norway, Is was received with all the respect
due to his exalted station and to his personal talinte.
The Great Committee for the Affairs of Education met
yesterday, for the first time this year. The Crown Prince
presided. The Argus reports, that two more Swedish,
and one Finland ship, have been totally plundered by
Greek pirates in the Archipelago.
The weather is now very severe.

JAN. 18.—The State Gazette announces that his Ma-
jesty has appointed the Baron of Nordin to be Counsellor of
State, and, in his room, Major-General Peyron, Secretary
for the War Department.

BERLIN, JAN. 20.

The Duke of Rovigo (Savary) has gained, in the first
instance, his law-suit against our Treasury, reapecting the
dotation of Somerschenburg. The Treasury is condemned
to pay the highest value of the estate, between the years
1814 and 1824, and the amount of all the revenues re-
ceived.

JAN. 22.--According to accounts from some of the
ports on the Baltic, considerable purchases of corn have
been made there for French account, by which a small rise
in the prices had been produced.
A letter from Toplitz says Austria and England are en-
gaged in active negotiations for the preservation of peace,
and it is even reported that Prince Metternich has resolved
to go to Paris and Landon.

SCHWERIN, JAN, 21.
His Highness has convoked a General Diet, to meet at
Sternberg on the sth of March, this year.

ILAMBURGH, JAN. 23.
Five English Mails to the 18th inst.' inclusive, arrived
here together on the 22d.

A letter from Christiania says, that orders from his
Majesty have been issued to equip two Norwegian brigs
ofwar to join a Swedish squadron, which will sail in the
month of March, at the latest, for the Mediterranean, to
protect the commerce of the United Kingdoms.

A LEXANDRIA•
Our harbour has been quite desolate and forsaken since
the unfortunate event at Navarin ; only three European ships

have arrived here since that time, and the French frigate
the Vestal is the only foreign man-of-war now here.—
Notwithstanding the general tranquillity trade is totally at
a stand from fear of war. A Tartar from Constantinople,
who is reported to have brought important despatches for
the Paella, has given tise to various conjectures. It is said,
among others, that the Porte has called upon the Pacha to
place 100,000 men at its disposal, of which he himself is to
have the command. It is further said, that it is now intended
to make him Pacha of Syria, and that he has been already
informed from Constantinople of the certainty of a breach
with the Allied Powers. Nothing, however, has yet oc-
curred here which can give any probability to these reports.
The Pacha is preparing, to set out on a tour of inspection
through the country. He will in the first instance go to"
Cairo and review the troops there.

GENEVA, JAN. 18

We have received very recent accounts from Count Capo
d'lstria. - He has not proceeded directly from Ancona. to
Greece, which so much needs his presence, but to Malta.
We are not well informed of the causes of this unexpected
determination ; • perhaps he wishes to meet the heroes of
Navarin, and escorted by them, to land in the distracted
country : perhaps he hoped to take sonic English troops as
an wort lastly, he perhaps intends to wait for the issue
of certain movements which again agitate Greece, and seem
to be hostile to the President.

His Majesty's packet brig Kingfisher has
arrived with a Jamaica and Mexican mail. She
sailed from Jamaica on the 7th Nov., from Vera
Cruz Dec. 14th, the Havannah on the 28th, and
from Bermuda on the Bth January. By her
we have letters and tapers to the above dates.
The private letters represent the state of Mexico
as most gloomy. Business was very dull.—
The expulsion of the old Spaniards was deter-
mined on, and produced general regret among
all well-wishers to the freedom and prosperity of

the country :
His Majesty's ship Pylades was expected, to leave Vera
Cruz in two or three days, but with no dollars on board,
or the least probability of any for account of the
Government. She will bring specie and cochineal, on
account of the expatriated old Spaniards. It is
stated that the President is extremely desirous to
maintain the credit of the country, but he is
not backed by the other members of the Govern-
ment, and there is not sufficient power in the Executive to
enforce more decided measures. The packet, we under-
stand, brings 8,000 dollars for the use of the Representa•.
tine of the Mexican Government here.

NEW ORLEANS, DEC. 10.—The accounts which have
just arrived here from Mexico, through the channel of
Spanish letters, are gloomy in the extreme. The law
of banishment has been generally adopted in the Mexican
States : in consequence, 1,200 Spaniards were preparing
to leave the capital. In the city of Guadalaxara, the
Spaniards were very roughly handled. Two hundred
Spaniards in a few weeks would embark from Vera Cruz, in
American vessels, for New York and New Orleans; they
bring with them about half a million of dollars.
VERA CRuz, Dec. s.—ln relation to the projected ex-
pulsion of,the Old Spaniards, the public have been per-
fectly quiet, and there is no reason to anticipate distur-
bances : what is supposed to be the will of the people bas
been loudly expressed' and generally, and there is no
doubt that the Federal Congress will accede to it. A pro-
ject of a law for the purpose is now under discussion, and
will probably soon pass. This measure will obviate the
dissentious that would otherwise occur : exceptions will
doubtless be made in favour of long residence, matrimony,
and acknowledged ,patriotism.
(From the Vera Cruz Patriot of Dec. 15.).

The ‘Cqugress of Vera Cruz adopted a law on the 4th
ult., at Jalapa, for- the expulsion of all unmarried Spa-
niards, under 50 years of age, from the country, within 30
days from the publication of the decree in the place in
which they might reside.. This allows them to remove all
their property, and pledges the faith of the State for its
safety, 'if left in the hands of agents.
The promulgation of this decree was received with the
greatest satisfaction by the inhabitants of Vera Cruz, who
testified their joy by parading *ha stresta..prith -bands of
music, &c.
Commodore Porter was on a visit to Mexico, where_ he
had been received with the attentions of the meat distin-
guished inhabitants.

Two Spanish brigs-of-war and a schoonet were Bruising
on the coast, and had made several captures.
A battaliod oltroops bad left Mexico, under the com-
mand of Gen; Rincon, destined, -as was supposed, tor
Oaxaca, where disturbances existed. Business at Vera
Cruz was at a complete stand, in consequence of the agita—
tion which prevailed, and many of the Spanish merchants
were leaving the country.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELVE o'CLOL.K.

The general appearance of the Consol Market is rather
gloomy; they opened at $54 4, both for money and ac-
count, rose to 554 4, but have since gone back to their first
price, at which rate they remain with no business of impor-
tance doing. Not the slightest variation in the premium
on India Bonds or Exchequer Bills has taken place, and
they remain precisely at the same rate as they have been
quoted for some days.
The arrival of the Mexican packet has caused the specu-
lators in the Bonds to be on the alert ; the intelligence she
brings is any thing but consoling, she has no- dollars on
board for Government ; the law for the expulsion of the
old Spaniards had created such au alarm that by accounts
a day later than the packet, received via Philadelphia, up
wards of 1200 of these persecuted individuals were about to
leave the country, carrying with them 'the whole of their
property, which forms a great portion of the capital in the
country. This blind and impolitic measure cannot but tend
to the injury and weakness of the Government, in their
present wants, and argues little for the spirit of liberality
so much boasted of ; the Bonds, from 444 5, have fallen to
414 ; Colombian are 23 4. This Government seems to be
consolidating the debt of the country, and taking measures
for the appropriation of funds to pay the interest thereof.
Brazil Bonds are higher, and have touched 61 ; Buenos
Ayres remain the same, being 40 1. A paper of the
Ist of Dec. has this morning been received, the only thing
thought of was privateering,iand seven of their vessels sailed
in the month of November to cruise, all well armed and
manned ; they will doubtless cause much loss to their oppo-
nents, the Brazilians, having drawn up a code of regula-
time which if acted up to will do away with any complaint
of neutrals. In Shares there is no material alteration.
