Yesterday afternoon at three o'clock, a Cabi.
net Council was held at the Secretary of State's
Office for Foreign Affairs, which was attended
by the Earls of Liverpool, Harrowby, and West—
morland, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Can.
ning, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Viscount

sat in deliberation. till past tiie o'clock.
The Colombian Minister transacted business

Yesterday morning, Sir if,ErtnEtur TAYLOR

Yesterday morning, Mr. CLEWS, the King's
Messenger, arrived at the Foreign Office in Dow n-
ingotreet, from St. Petersburgh, with dispatches
from our Ambassador at that Court to Mr. Secre.
tary CANNING, The Messenger made a very
expeditious journey, having left St. Petersburgh
on the 19th of January, and of coarse was -only
13 days on hi 4 journey. At the time the Mrs.
senger left St. Petersburgh, the state of the capital
was perfectly tranquil.
By the Tartar frigate, letters were received
yesterday from Rio de Janeiro to the 29th of
November. Sir CHAttLrs STUART sailed from

thence on the 24th, in the Diamond frigate, on a
visit, as it was given out, to the northern pro.
thee' of Brazil, akhia, and Pernambuco. This
change of destination, after the .merchants had
been led to believe that he was about to proceed
to Buenos Ayres in the character of apacificator,
had created a very lively alarm at Rio, as indi-
cating the suspension or the breaking off of ne-
gociation ; and the sailing for Monte Vidt
about the same time, of a reinforcement of 1,600
men, had confirmed most of the merchants in the
belief that hostilities with Buenos Ayres and
the .Banda Oriental were to be pursued
with greater vigour than ever. Another con.
struction is, however, put upon bath these
events in some of the letters; the well-informed
merchants giving k as their opinion that Sir
CHARLES STUART, after his return from llaWa
and from Pernambuco, would repair to Buenos
Ayres to conduct the nezociation, and that the
measure of sending more troops to Monte, V Wee
was only adopted with the view of taking
a better position during the discussions, by prov-
ing that the Estemaott was still prepared, if
necessary, to prosecute the war with vigour.

Accounts from St. Thomas's, dated -Dec. 12,
state that several Spanish cruisers had appeared
among the islands (one accouet says four) ; they
-had made several valuable prizes. Two English
rnerchantmen were reported to be captured by
these freebooters. _

The herald is not expected to sail wish the
Marquis of HAsTINus before the middle of next
week.

Letters from Valparaisoolated October 9,state
the, arrival there of the Blonde frigate, Lord
BYRON, Captain, from the Sandw►ch Islands.

there, bound to Behringa Straits.
The Brisk sloop of war, Captain
Hoec, sails

A report was circulated yesterday, and ob-
tained general credit, that the Bank Directors,
in their interviews with Ministers, had agreed to
a suspension of that part of their charter which
limits the number of partners in country banks
throughout I?angland generally to six, on the con-
dition that the privilege is not to be exercised
except at a distance beyond 60 miles of the me.
tropolis. It is understood that the principle is
conceded by the Bunk of England, but that some
dispute will arise as to the distance at which the
privilege is to commence ; the Directors wishing
to preserve as large a space as possible for the
exercise of their old exclusive right, and the Go-
vernment wishing to limit that space as much as
possible. But the principle being admitted, it is
not very probable that a very long contention
will exist on the minor points of detail.
The MENAI SUSPENSION BRI DGE was ope►ned
to the public on Monday, the 3001 of January,
by the London and Holyhead down mail passing
over it, at two o'clock in the morning. The
horses trotted over it in their regular pace. Al.
though a heavy gale of wind was blowing at the
time, there was no perceptible difference in the
motion of the coach, whether on the suspended
road-way, or on the masonry arches. About
nine o'clock, Sir Henry Parnell and Mr. Telford
crossed over the bridge, in the travelling carriage
of the latter, and during the whole day visitors
from all parts of Carnarvonshire and Anglesea
passed over in their carriages, besides numerous
foot passengers. In the evening the workmen
were regaled with a substantial dinner and abund-
ance of memo da. The inconvenient ferry across
the rapid Menai estuary is thus, at. last, annihi-
lated, and another important facility given to the
intercourse between the two kingdoms.
