PorEay.—AVe hope that the example of the inha-
bitants of St.Saviour's,Southwark,will be folloWed
throughout the kingdom by the protestantS of all
denominations, and that they will petition His

PLurmETT's-Bills,. latch, if passed,wi I I under-
mine and ultimately destroy the laws that were
enacted -for. the preservation of the civil And re-
ligious liberties of the Empir

WTNCHViTER, MARCH 31.—We have had a.
meeting of our Corporation, at which petitions to
both Houses of Parliament were unanimously
and cordially voted on the subject of Mr. PLuN-
KETT's Bills, expressive of the deep regret and
increasing alarm which their progress through
Parliament has excited. The petition to the
House of Commons was forwarded to the City
Members, with a request that they would support
it in every manner of 'which the shortness of the

time would admit. The other petition, it is under-
stood, will be presented by the Marquis of Buck-
ingham.--The language of the petition is tempe-
rate though energetic, and forcibly points out the
danger which must result to the constitution in
Church and State of this Protestant community,
if Catholics are rendered eligible as Legislators,
Privy Councillors, and Judges. We shall insert a
copy of jt in our paper of to-morrow.

The following article appears in The Hellish
Monitor of yesterday.—" By a letter I have just
received from Madrid from a well informed per-
son, it appears that there is a party in pain en-
deavouring to place JOSEPH BuoN.teAaTE on the
Throne of that Country. There is also a party
in his favour in Mexico, Beunos Ayres, Peru,
New Grendda, and Venezuela, (hut not Chili).
These colonies will submit to the Mother Coun-
try, in .case J ()SEP!' BUONAPARTE becomes King
of Spain ! '"

SOUTH AmEruck.—The following is an ex-
tract of a letter from Monte Video, dated the
16th of December last :—" At Buenos Ayres
political affairs wear a less alarming appearance.
Order is established in that city, and a General
Congress is to assemble next month at Cordova,
when, probably, the Confederation will be settled.
Although the federative system be very objec-
tionable, yet it will be much better than this
year's anarchy. The Spanish commission, as was
to be expected, has completely failed. Besides
the improper choice of the individuals composing
it, and their ridiculous conduct, they had no au-
thority for treating on the basis of the recognition
of independence, which the Government of
Buenos Ayres looks upon as as a condition sins
qua non. In this garrison we are quiet, though the
events in Portugal and the Brazils may hereafter
tend to produce a change in our situation. In
the mean time Ramirez, the Governor of Entre.
Rios, is concentrating his forces to march against
Paraguay."

`III[EDICAL JURDIPRVDENCE.—An Hibernian pa-

the trial of John Armstrong, for stealing a pair

the Lying in liespital,

per load from the duty on Foiein timber. %V(
have ktd (Ally a short time, to look over the Ta.
ble, lvhich will be found ill another column of
our Paper; but our opinion is, that this new ar-
rangement is such as will give a decided advan-
tage in the mode of admeasUrement, as well as of
duty, to. Foreign timber, and a pectiliar and
marki.d preference to Norway over Russia. It
is therefore important that the Merchants and
ShipP4ners in the Colonial trade should, with-

out delay, apply to their Representatives
in Parliamnent to interpose to prevent the fur-
ther Prngress of a measure which will inettitably
prove fatal to all the Home and Colonial In-
terests. At all events, we think sufficient time
should be allowed for the consideration of the

practical detail of the scale of the proposed
duties, as tho tables cannot yet have been seen
by any of the trade either in London or at the
Outports. To us, we cOnfessi it seens4, that the
only benefit which can result from this alteration
of the present system, will be that of enabling a
few London inerchants trading to Norway to re-
cover the large debts due to them from the people
of that country, without any other poisible ad-
vantage to ourselves.
