BRUSSELS, JUNE 23.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange arrived on
the 90th at the Hague, in good health, on his return from
t.
Petersburgh.
'two British Cabinet Messengers, on their way from
'ondon to Vienna, passed through this city yesterday.
A letter from Seio, dated Sth May, says—" Jussof
paths has received orders to send back all the Asiatic
itrl'ops to Chesrne ; they will be replaced by an equal nurn-
kr Rumeliots and regular troops ; 4000 of the latter
have .arrived, and several companies are expected imme-
"lately. The garrison is to be increased to 7000 snen,
444 to be constantly kept up to that number.

It is understood that Mr. Alderman THONIP-

will, this evening, ask Ministers what course
they intend to take respecting the dediration of
n MIGUEL that. Oporto is in a state of
eient blockade. The City merchants are
Featly alarmed at the notice given yester-
day from the Foreign Office to this effect. We
'lave no doubt that the arrival of several
III-lash ships of war at Oporto will sufficiently
Protect our commerce, and put the MIGUEL-
ITES to flight. Our Government haviic ceased
qnumunication with MIGUEL, by the suspension
'3f our Ambassador's functions, cannot do other-
'wise than give answers perfectly satisfactory to
the wishes of our merchants. Don MIGUEL
talk of blockade l—ice shall be indeed surprised
•If he be now in Portugal. Should he have at-
tempted escape by sea, we trust the line of battle
tip at the mouth of the. Tagus will give a good
keount of himself and.his stolen diamonds.

Extract of a letter from Bogata, April 11, to
"ne of the first commercial houses in the City :
General poverty prevails here, indeed, money is so scarce
'that five per cent., per month, is paid for the loan of it
good security. The political state of the country is
I,.'t far from being tranquil, and although we lock to the
Grand Convention with great anxiety, I am fearful that
tatate of party will prevent a result that is essential to
ethePtosperity of this country. The Liberal party are for
federal constitution, and that of Bolivar arc for a central
)oeerrnent with increased vigour in the executive, which
latter is infinitely better adapted for the present. Although
.b
'°livar is willing that the holders of Colombian Stock may
""d out a Committee to superintend the collection of the
fonds for the dividends, I ant fearful it will be a long time
°°.ore money comes for their payment.

We regret to understand that some further de-
must take place before the improvements at
(-haring-cross and along the Strand can be be-
°ll. In answer to a quegtion from Mr. Hon-
)ll°l.lsE, Lord LOWTHER said, that perhaps 1
uloaths might elapse before the houses would be
Pulled down. The reason assigned for this is, that
90me householders whose leases arc unexpired ask
'° exorbitant a demand, that it is considered more
expedient to let the leases run out than pay five
tl4les its value for a period of a year and a half.
though we lament the delay, yet we think the
commissioners have done prudently to save their
It'°Tiey, while they punish the pockets of the
''°4ld-be extortioners. It is said of old houses,
35 of old maids, that their pcis-iessors never
knew their value till they arc asked the pike
°I their worth, when such an unlooked-for
!t'ent taking place, they think the possession
14''aluable, and so defeat the first wish of their
hearts by asking too much. Time opportunity
hover returns :—lneanwhile they sing for the rest
°I their lives—

Oh, memory, thou gay deceiver !

The account of the re-election of Sir GEORGE
I.tIRRAY, which is given at length in the
Scots Journals, affords striking proofs of the
liberality
and intelligence of his Constituents,
44 Well as abundant and zealous testimonials of
leis
capacitycapacity for his great office, for which
‘te have no doubt that Sir GEORGE will,
41 due time, evince his gratitude. Nor
we omit our tribute of admiration to the
peal, spirit, and fidelity, with which the Perth-
qiee freeholders still continue to hold 14y the
''istlotn of our ancestors. How consolatory
lqust it be to my Lord ELDON, and to his few
t'ilosen associates, that the great maxims of our
Ilicient policy, persecute 3 by the growing libe-
rality of an ungrateful generation out of every
ether corner of the world, should still find a
friendly asylum in the county of Perth. The
fil*St topic discussed in this enlightened
lileeting, namely, t:ie capacity of Sir GEORGE
for
his great duties, was, it must be confessed,
rather a difficult one, aid his brother, Sir PETER
HURRAY, takes it up accordingly with suitable
~
"hiness. The duties, he says, undertaken by
Sir GEORGE must no doubt be in some respects
11'1111 to him. A happy qualification for office
this surely, that the duties which the person
It'llgages to fulfil are new to him—in plain
-"tins, that he is a novice, and that he
LlNlertakes without knowing how he will
):I'fnrm. There is one duty, however, namely,
that of dispensing official patronage, which, we
flyeno doubt, he will perform in a manner per-
"ctly satisfactory to the Perthshire freeholders.
,
PETER"s deep knowledge and research have
"il'abled him, however, to discover that it has
A-en the policy of Great Britain to commit the
thninistration of her colonies to a military
fan; he further adds, that Sir GEORGE has a
1)rsorlal acquaintance with most of our colonies,
because he has visited them ; and Sir PETER
doses this summary of his hrother's qualifica-
i'll°llsr by expressing his confidence that he will
l'e a most admirable Colonial Secretary.—
o,\lt hY a military man should be choori to govern
"i! colonies ; how the capacity to defend or
tt °r4-1 a po:sition, or to manceuvre an army,
shouldco necessarily imply that discriminating and
itt'llPrehensive sagacity which can happily adjust,
rio4nling to any nice standard of policy, the va-
t's and conflicting interests 04' a peculiarly
(i.:)1111:e licated community, has not been explained
by the
cots Baronet ; and must therefore, for
the.
rieSent, remain a mystery. Nor is it very
