• The Grand Duke has ordered the Chamber of Fi-
-I:lance to carry Ins intentions into effect with the
greatest severity.

It was Gen. RICH. STEWART, Of the 43d Light
Infantry Regiment, a brave and excellent Officer,
Who died. r-ere are two other General Officers of

of the Earl of GALLOWAY, and the other brother of

the purpose of menacing our coasts and renewing the
alarm of invasion.
Count ZBNOBIO has thought proper to contra-
dict a report, given by Mr. GOLDSMITH, stating,
that LUCIEN RIJONAPaRTE poisoned his first wile.
the report, however, has been generally preva-
lent on the Continent, =Lail that the Count al-
leges in.opposition to it that he was in Paris
when she died ; that he heard she died .of a de-
cline, and did not heOr that her death was imputed
to the former, cause. If she Count thinks proper
to distrust the report upon such grounds, he must
olier something rather stronger to make the world
Of -the same opinion.

The recent revolution in the province of Cartha-:
tena, in South America, seeps to have assumed a
ticgrce of consistence, which is nit to be tound either
in the insurrection in the Caraccas or in that at Bue-
nos A) res. The leadersjin the new proceedings apr
Pear to act upon a most extensive scale—then- pro-
ieet oeing no less than to ered a new and inde-
Pendent 'State, under the title of " The Kingdom
ranada."

The advantages of inland navigation, by reducing
the price of can iage, and enabling the hush.indinan
411 d manufacturer to send their goods cheapi-r to
loatket, appear to be appreciated, not only in this
Country, but in Russia, where a line of canals,
Planned during the life-time of Peter the Great; has
recently been completed, by which it is possible to
vonvey goods by water near 4,500 miles, with only
?fle interruption of about 60 miles. This amazing
length, of which no other country in the globe can
Perhaps boast, t,egins at Petersburg!), and extends
to the !Kitters or China.
A Mr. Manning is now at Canton, in China, and
has been there five years, learning the language in
the dress of the country, with a view to penetrate
to the interior. He is an able man, and has -so
;Wanted hirnellf to the manners and feelings of the
Chinese, that be is scarcely to be distinguished from
the natives, even by natives.
ATTEMPT AT So LClDE.—Saturday morning a gen-
tleman was observed by some labourers employed
111 Chelsea Fields, walking backwards and forwards
411 a hurried and disorderly manner, and sour) after-
wards they were alarmed 'by the repot t of a pistol
corning from the quintet- where they l.ad just before
teen him. On going to the spot tln-y discovered
ina lying on the ground reloading the pistol, which
appeared he had just before discharged at his head,
UUt without etfe6t, the Intl living only slightly
grazed his forehead. t He was imtnediately diSarm-
Q(1, and on inquiry proved to be a gentleman of con-
siderable property, residing in the neighbourhood,
WllO had for some time past been in a desponding
way, owing to the death of his wife, who unfortn-
Ntely tell a sacrifice to her cloaths accideutaiiv
catching tire.
Letters from St. Bartholomew stata, that owing
t
some arbitrary atis of Government, a revolution
had taken place there. The Judge of the island;
VaitosTEnz, his wife, Principal Secretary, servants,
°4,,e. had been sent off, and had atrived at Salerti.—
'ln embargo had been imposed upon all shipping.

An inquest was hell on Friday at the Barley-
-116%. public-house, in Mount-street, on the body
c't Mrs. Jones, wife of Mr. Jones, apothecary, in
same street. It appeared in evidence, that the
r.Qt:ea!ied had been in a bad state of health for sortie
"ne past; and Mr. Jones's daughter, who was very
:I'4ch afflicted with the rheumatism, ha..l been in
rl'e habit or taking laudanum; one of the servants
~I"theitently removed the bottle to her mistress's
"'amber, which, in the course of the night, the
t''se gave to the deceased in a mistake, instead of
"e regular medicine. The Jury returned a lerdi6t
4cciduntal Death.

AMERIa44.

THE PROVINCE. OF CARTHAGEI(A (OF THE INDIES) TO
THE OTHER PROVINCES OF TIDE NEW KINGDOM OF

GRANADA.

" The justidebron`r complaints, tree publicity of
our operatlous, and the frankness and soheitilde
with which we (rave taken care to commUniCate
them to ail the Gibtldos of the kiugdoni, ekonerate
us, dear coontrythen, frow malkiog a proliit relation
of he Inea,ures which we have peculiarly adopted to
protect ourselves froth the horrible extremes of des-
potism; or of anarchy, into which Spanish America
must doubtless have fallen, from the moment, al-
ready too probable, of the althost total subjugation
of tire mother country by the anus of the tyrant 61
Europe

" But this port, like Atalaya, situated on the sea
coast, haS had the opportunity, of learning, before
any other province in the kiogdotit, the progress or
the iemission of the evils which the Peinnsula sof-
ferS., and has benable so to conduct its Opeiations
As to guard against being involved in the ruin which
threatened it. It was in constVence of this, that,
from the time a new chief, sent to this city by the
Central Junta, without any other title but a simple
order; began to manifest his despotic principles, his
oppressive condO, and his conception (publicly
proclaimed) thaCterroiisAt was the Most efficacious
means to keep the, people quiet, from that very time
our illustrious Cirbi(do began to restrain him", and
to let him know that in consequence of the cir-
cumstances in which Spain was placed, and 'the
alarming progress of the enemy, the tranquility and
confidence of the people demanded the adoption of
measures of security, of which it would neVer feel
convinced without the participation of the munici-
pal authorities in all branches of the public admini-
stration, which were exclu-iively conducted by him-
self. The Governor agreed to a system prescribed,
in substance, by, our municipal litws but he quick-
ly broke the oath by which lie bound himself, and
had the audacity to give the lie, by his condom, to
the recognition which with apparent cheerfulness
he made before the whole people assembled in
front of the Consistorial Hall.

'" In consequence of these proceedings,.t be objeet
of which was to tyrannise over the inhabitants, the
illustrious. Cabildo and our ordinary Magistrates pro-
ceeded to pronounce his deposition -froth the Go-
vernment, and agreed to send him back to the Re-
gency, with -a succina exposi:ion of the weighty
reasons which obliged them to have recourse to a
measuse so extreme."

The Address then proceeds • to detail the grafi&
catiotrand confidence which this measure produced
among the people, and the various steps adopted,
by the Cabildos in cons, qu.ence thereof. On•the
system of their future Goveinmem they thus ex-
press themselves :—" What system cart a people de-
sire who have groaned 'under d spotism, and ail,
utter neded of their interest and prosperity, but
that which may unite two most pre.iote; adran-
!ages—that of enjoying a liberty secured by law,
and the power of immediately . attending to, by
'themselves, all the branches of their internal admi-
'stration ! The federative system is the (July one'
suitable to the kingdom, the population of which
'is sd dispersed, and•which is of much greater ex-
tot than all Spain." The Kleantag,es attending this
systiqu they describe to be, the more easy: and ex-
peditidus att:iinment of justlie, and deciiion of law
suits ; every pt.( Once will measure its wants by its
; and 'plans for roads and carals, hitherto,
necde6ted, will be more effzittuisily carried into ex-
ecution.

" But," they go on to observe, " internal dis-
putes would not fail to arise between adjoining pro-
vinces, each of which wool 3 also be weak of itself
and exposed to foreign subjugation, if a federation.
of all the provinces, by mratts of deputies forming
a representative body, did not form a common cen-
tre of union and of strength ; a body which should
exercise the legislative power in all matters of
general interest ; which st_rould settle the contribu-
tions or contingent which each province should fur-
nish, either in men or money, for the common de-
fence ; and which should establish the executive
power under such limitations as might be
_deemed
necessary."

They object, however, to the formation of any
interim Government, on the principle that the dif-
ferent provinces are at present fully competent to
the management of their own internal affairs ;
" and because to form an interim Government by
convoking a deputy from each province, would tie
doing the very identical thing that had been done in
Spain by the formation of the Central Junta, and
would, in consequence, expose us to similar v.'eigh-
ty inconveniences. All those who, by perusing
the Journals and Gazettes of oivr times, particularly
the foreign ones, bare fUllowed the steps of the dis-
astrous irruption of the Drench into Spain, are able
to judge what errors and disorders have been attri-
buted to the Central Junta, even by the Marquis of
Romana, one of its Members ; and Y.. hat replesen-
tations weir made by the Marqilis Wellesley, the
British Ambassador, in order that another form of
Government might be adopted. In these, he attri-
buted all the disasters which the Spanish nation has
suffered, to the vices inherent in a body of thirty
members, which could neither be called the repre-
sentatives of the nation, nor an executive, which by
the unity of its acts' could secure the respect and
obedience of those who were to execute its orders."

With regard to the place for holding the General
Congress of the kingdom, they think that Antio-
quia or Medellin are the places pointed out for that'
purpose, by their position and other circumstances.
" The latter city, with a population of id or 18,000
souls, its temperature equal to that of Guaduas, and
is proposition almost in the centre of the kingdom,
seemed peculiarly adapted for the assemblage of the
Deputies: The mild and peaceful manners by
which the Province. of Aniioquia was distinguished,
made it peculiarly eligible for the residence of a Body
to whom tranquil►ty and full security were especially
necessary, at a time when the conditions and limits
of the federation of the Provinces were about to be
established.

" Such is the .frank exposition of what the Pro-
vince of Cartiuigena has thought necessary at the
present crisis. It cA•dially communicates its ideas

. .
to the other Provitrtts, not with a Wish that th 4
should be implicitly followed, but that they may be
freely examined by all ; and that such an inter-
change of sentiment may take place among the Pro-
vinces, that the system which suits the majority
may be finally adopted.

On Monday, at the High Court of Justiciary in
E linburgh, Waiter Itedpath, grocer, of FOrd Path-
head, was tried tor thefnurder of Andrew M`Kech-
nie, of the same place. It appeared in evidence,
that the deceased occupied premises adjoining those
of the prisoner, in which he had made some altera-
tions without his consent ; ttsat the deceased threw
up a trench which completely stoppei the path to
the prisoner's stable ; that a quarrel ensued, in
which the deceased struck the prisoner a violent
blow with a stick ; that the prisoner then seized a
loaded musket, which, whether by accident or de-.
sign was not apparent, went oil, and occasioned his
immediate death. The Jury, after some consi-
deration, returned a verdict or Culpalle homicide,
and the prisoner was sentenced to be transpJrted
for life.

Thursday a respectable looking man went into a
silversmith's shop in the city, and purchased a few
articles to the amount of 61. for which fie gave a
draft on a banker, which was duly honoured. The
next evening he called, complimented the tradesman
on his fair dealing, and looked out goods to the
amount of t5Ol. and particularly desired they might
be delivered that evening, as he was going to have
a large party to supper. The tradesman suspecting
his customer, said it was impossible to comply with
his request. The purchaser appealed very much
vexed, and left the shop abruptly, saying he would
elll the next day, which•he net er did. The trades-
man made inquiry of the banker, who informed
him it was well he did not take the second check,
as. the drawer was a perfect stranger, and that all the
cash bad been drawn out excepting fifteen shillings.
On Wednesday night last, Britwell-house, near
Burnham, in Boashire, belonging to the flan. G,
IRBY, was broke open, and robbed of wearing ap-
parel and valuables to a comiderable amrnm : among
the property stolen was a quantity of ancient gold
and silver coins. The thieves escaped, and have
not since been !turd et.
