We regret, however anxious we are to do so, that our
information from Windsor, does not authorise us to an-
nounce as yet,the complete convalescence of his MAJZSTIr.

The Duke of WELLINGTON, we are sorry to hear, has
Leen much indisposed within the last two or three days.

It is strongly reported, at the West End of the Town,
that Lord DARLINGTON, the son of the Marquis of
CLEVELAND, is to move the Address, and that he will
be seconded by Mr. WARD, the City member.

A vessel which left Rio de Janeiro subsequent to the
sailing of the Packet, brings the intelligence that the
Marquis of BARBACENA had been named Minister for
Foreign Affairs. We sincerely hope this report may be
confirmed. The Emperor could not have made a happier
choice, nor one more strongly indicative of his de-
termination to uphold the rights of his daughter, whose
cause the Marquis sustained with such talent and energy
while in this country.

An Evening Paper of yesterday announced that it
had positive information, that the Queen of PORTUGAL
is dangerously ill with water on the chest. As we know
but one Queen of PORTUGAL, we could hardly avoid sus-
pecting that from the mode of introducing the intelligence,
the writer did not much care if his readers applied it to the
legitimate Sovereign DoxxA MARIA. Hydrothorax,
however, seldom or never attacks persons of her
MAJESTY'S age. Nevertheless, we embrace this
opportunity of stating that on the departure of
the packet, her MAJESTY was in the enjoyment
of most excellent health. With regard to the
" Old Queen," as she is usually designated, we do
not think many tears will be shed, when it pleases Provi-
dence to remove her from a scene, in which she has played
a part not less degrading to royalty, than ruinous to the'
people, over whom she has exercised such a baneful
control.

A Meeting of the Freeholders and Inhabitants of the
County of Cambridge and the Isle of Ely was held yes-
terday at the Town Hall, Cambridge. It confirms in a
striking manner—if our observations on that occasion
needed to be so corroborated—all that we said
on the subject of the Norfolk Meeting. It will be
remembered that, in speaking of the Norfolk Meet-
ing, we stated that the deep and portentous explo-
sions of collateral dissatisfaction—occurring almost
simultaneously in distant quarters—betokened a rousing
country: but the meeting of the men of Cambridge and Ely
satisfies us that the country is already roused. Our ministe-
rial contemporary, the Times—to whom we have accorded
so long-a spell of impunity, that he fancies, perhaps,
we shall soon fraternise with his corruptions-•may sneer
at these demonstrations of public feeling, and jest at
the general misery, to make himself acceptable in the
eyes of power. But be will change his note ere long,
for the thing cannot endure ; and before a little month,
the hurricane—as he phrases it—which is getting up
is • reentry places, may not improbably be raging
is Palace Yard. What is to prevent it ? Will the Noble
Dung do any thing to mitigate the fierce affliction
of the people ? ..Can he, if be would ? And if he nei-
ther will—nor can--does the Timms imagine that
the people will not interfere to relieve themselves ?
Preposterous. The crisis is at hand: and if the
Ministers will do nothing for us we must redress our own

wrongs—summarily, but constitutionally, still. It is the
essential spirit of the English Constitution, that—if the
MINISTRY and PARLIAMENT be too corrupt to ad-
minister the*peOple in equity—the PEOPLE may super-
sede "those authorities, and redress themselves. We
maintain that this is the spirit of the Constitution, es-
tablished by precedent, and consecrated by charters,

popularly obtained.
W. here heard it affirmed, that the Duke of Wm.-
LINOTOW denier that there is any distress in the
country, and that he imputes to the spitefulness of indi-
viduals discontented at his supremacy, all the noise that
is made about starvation and fiscal pressure. The
Noble Du:a has familiarised us long since with
the hypothesis of his own madness, but we can
hardly believe him so " mad," as to have uttered publicly
such a sentiment. - AU the Counties in England will have
assembled before March ; but surely the Duke of Wm.-
LIN oTON does not wait forthem all to assemble, before he
Aid be undeceived. Let him attend a little to the
speeches in the Town-1111 of Cambridge--that focus of
ministerial and loyal congregants. Let him look at the
nnelatiens snored by cormassUor Payna--tha ipnecb of
IP. Snow r of Trinity—and the petition and speeches of
Mr. War. Ls of Huntingdon, and of Mr. Kassala-. If

these do not impress him with some apprehension for the
rising storm, let his Grace wait but a little, and be will bear
it roaring in Hyde Park—we solemnly warn him that
he will. Gracious Gon lis this insensate Minister,
then, indeed so case-hardened, that nothing but extreme
convulsion will teach him on what ground be stands ?
Neese promllmos es mud parte tumults,
Agnoseit, populique forum amseesdere murmur?
We cannot close these remarks, without expressing

our cordial concurrence with the spirit and language of
Mr. WELLs's Petition ; and especially of that prefatory
sentence, where the Petitioners state their determination
to separate no more, except by adjournment from time
to time, and place to place, until a redress of
grievances is obtained. All that is required to such a
Petition, is only thatsufficient number of signatures which
will convince the Parliament that the country is at last
in earnest; and even the Duke of WELLINGTON
will quail before the multitudinous conviction. The
Government, and those who call themselves the Re-
presentatives of the People, have brought it all upon
themselves: the memorable prophecy of Lord CHATHAM
is on the eve of its fulfilment.

A Meeting of the Freeholders and Inhabitants of the
County of Chester, is to take place on Monday next, at
Northwich, to consider the unparalleled distress which
prevails in every part of the country, and to petition
Parliament thereon. It is understood that matters will
not be minced on this interesting occasion, and that it
will afford the very converse of that un-English example,
set some time since by the Kentish Grand Jury.

A Correspondent of the Morning Herald, signing
himself " An Old Lieutenant in the Navy," complains
of the sudden advancement of a PAGET to the rank of
Post Captain, by which he merely stepped over the
heads of seven hundred of his brother officers. Were
this not an almost every-day occurrence, we should also
feel surprised. As it is, we shall only express a hope
that the Admiralty will not any longer defer those ar-
rangements said to be in progress for ameliorating the
condition of the meritorious class of officers to which
the complainant belongs, and thus proving that their
long services, and patient endurance, are not to go
unrequited. We shall on an early day, state some facts
connected with the naval service, which—if we mistake
not—are not a little calculated to excite public sym-
pathy and astonishment.

We have now concluded the publication of the third
series of Senor GARCIA Dim Rto's Correspondence. It
is probable the next packet may bring us his views as to
those Constitutional Reforms which the Constituent Con-
gress, now assembled at Bogota, should adopt, to fix
the Government on a solid basis, and secure to the
people the benefits of an improved and improving
political system. Such an exposition will be very va-
luable on many accounts, and more particularly as it will
serve as a key to the measures which the Congress
may resolve upon, and the propriety of which
might not otherwise be so immediately understood
in Europe. But the facts with which we are
already become acquainted, through Senor GAR-
CIA'S instructive communications, afford most valuable
lights for our judgment on the past, and anticipa-
tions of the future. We believe all the historical transac-
tions have been accurately related; whilst the reflexions
and comments, to which they have given rise in Mr.
GARCIA'S publication, have been accompanied with en-
lightened views—a candour—a boldness, which do the
highest honour to his intelligence—liberality—patri-
otism, and courage in its cause.
The demands for those Papers of the STAR, which
contain these Letters, have been so frequent, and we have
been so unable to make up complete sets, that we have
•
resolved on collecting them together in one volume, and
publishing them as " A History of the Revolution of
Columbia, and Enquiry into her Political, Financial, and
Social State, in the year 1829." Such of our readers as
would wish to have them sent, can address their instruc-
tions to our Office.

The streets of the metropolis continue in a deplorable
state, and are in many parts almost impassable. We
were, however, glad to perceive a very interesting ma-
chine in operation this morning. It consists of a cast-
iron car, to which a broad plato is attached underneath
diagonally. The car is drawn by two horses, and as it
advances, the broad plate turns up the snow, conveying it.
the right side or left of the wheels, according to the di-
rection in which the horses may be moving ; thus a clear
passage is made for carriages. We have not seen a more
ingenious, simple, or useful contrivance.

We are happy to find that our suggestions have had
some beneficial effect, and that summonses have already
been issued against distinguished defaulters with regard
to the Act relative to cleansing the pavement. The
French used to cry " guerre aux chateaux"—we raise
the same cry against those Princely residences which
have long dead walls to screen the, proprietors from the
sight and effect of the nuisances which they occasion, by
never ordering a spade or broom to be used, as many a
pretty foot and splashed petticoat will testify. Why Is
the line of pavement, which has been put down at so
meek expense, from Arlington-street to Piccadilly-
gate, to be kept perpetually covered with snow or mud ?
Surely there is some responsible person ; and the time
has come, when reforms of every kind must commence
with the highest.
