LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 16, 1827.

We
again refer our Readers to the " Spirit of
the Public Journals" for the reports circulated by
our Cotein Ministerial
poraries respecting the
all'angements. We can add nothing farther
except that Sir JOHN COPLEY has accepted
Seals as Lord Chancellor of England. This
event will necessarily renew the contest for the
representation of the University of Cambridge.
The resig
RnatiOn of the ATTORNEY-GENE-
21' will also occasion another important pro-
-°tinn in the law.

We understand that all the present Lords
C°Misaioners of the Admiralty (with the ex-
ceri°n of Sir GEO. CLERK) will remain in
Dee as the Council to his Royal Highness the
Mike of CLARENCE as Lord High Admiral.--
th ChoKER and Mr. BARROW are to retain
Attiir present appointments as Secretaries to the
t 4 4144, and Mr. HAMILTON, Private Secre-
t° Viscount MELVILLE, has been appointed
Royal Highness his Private Secretary.
W,

h e stated, on Saturday, that Lord BEXLEY
(-,d, revoked the resignation of his seat in the
-40inet. There is no doubt of the fact; and it
Speaks volumes. It has fortuned to Lord BEX-
14Y to discharge functions, the exercise of which,
the 'tithes rendered peculiarly invidious. He
..as • .
, reaped his share, therefore, of good report,
414 C evil report; but obloquy itself never
citlettioned his good sense, his honesty, or
his
Patriotism. It is also well known that

t-berel and practically religious. In retracting,
to fore, his secession from Mr. CANNING,
t-1/4111 whom he has no personal attachment, he
there proves his own candour, his respect for
Li just exercise of the Royal prerogative, and

C,

_ .
that, on the accession'orthe Git)rviLLE"party
to the AdministritionrOf:Lord 'LIVFAPOOL,L—
an event which it ii-perfectly notorious that Lord
LIVERPOOL took infinite pains and -made great
sacrifices to compass,--liberty was distinctly
reserved to the Members of the Cabinet
to propose, at their pleasure, any change of po-
licy on the Catholic Question, will appear from
the following declaration made by Mr. 'WYNNE
in the House of Commons, on the 21st of
April, 1823 :

" In joining the Administration, he had reserved to
" himself the liberty of supporting, or originating, either
"in Council, or in Parliament, any proposition which
" might tend to ameliorate the condition of Ireland :
" amonyst which he considered Catholic Emancipation
" to stand first and foremost."—Hansard's Parlia-
Mentary Debates.

Can any thing then be more clear than that,
not only no pledge of silence on the subject in
question was given, but that the liberty of speak-
ing out upon it was expressly and formally
retained ? It was retained by the GRENVILLES
it was the very condition of their adhesion ; and,
if possessed by them, - then undoubtedly, on
every principle, by parity of reasoning, by elua-
lity and reciprocity of advantage, it belonged
in equal fullness to every other individual of
the body.

But it is idle to waste confutation on this pal-
pable pretext. No man doubts that Mr. CAN-
NING was entirely resolved to carry on the Go-
vernment on the same principles with that of
Lord LIVERPOOL. To this extent his pledges
were full, were explicit, were completely satis-
factory. Even the sternest of the Seven will not
dispute either the fact' or the sincerity of his pro-
fessions. The real' motive of their proceedings,
therefore, must be sought elsewhere. Either they
hate the individual whom the KING delighteth to
honour ; or, under the name and semblance of
neutrality on the Catholic question, their wish
and intention were, in reality, to set up Anti-
Catholic ascendancy.
It remains to be seen what will be the deci-
sion of Parliament and of the Country. For
ourselves, we feel little difficulty in anticipating
it. Let Mr. CANNING openly and candidly
state his case ;--the case between the Monarch
and his popular Minister on the one hand, and
the dissentients on the other. Let him throw
himself on Parliament and on the people ; there
can be no doubt of the result. The nation, and
like the nation, the Representative Body, hate
injustice, dislike aristocratic combination, appre-
ciate talents and services, respect consistency
and fidelity, and love and honour the KING.—
Animated by these feelings, they will rally round
the SOVEREIGN, will repel the spirit of dicta-
tion by which he is assailed, and will give to the
Minister of his choice their free, cordial, and
honourable support.

The restoration of the ancient Government 01

the Navy, by the appointment of a Lord High
Admiral, in the person of a Prince of the Blood
and the Heir Presumptive to the Throne of these
Realms, has given universal satisfaction both to
the Navy and the Public at large.
There is no branch of the public service which
is so popular with the Nation as the Navy, and
an Esprit de Corps animates the Members of
that profession, to an extent which is not to be
found in any other service in the world. With
this, however, is. united too frequently a. feel,
ing of restlessness and dissatisfaction which
probably has its origin in the nature of the employ-
ment itself. To this cause alone is,to be attribut-
ed the little popularity which the Naval Admi-
nistration of Lord IVIELviLLE has lately enjoyed;
for, undoubtedly, it has deserved a more grateful
return, both from the profession and the nation,
than it has received. We shall hereafter give
an historical sketch of the Administration of the
Naval Affairs of Great Britain during the
period which his Lordship has presided over
them, a period during which, if opportuni-
ties of brilliant exploits have been rare, some
splendid instances of the efficiency of the British
navy have occurred, and during which the com-
fort and discipline of the seamen have been un-
proved, and our filture glory secured, by the
magnificent state of preparation in which the
fleet and naval arsenals have been placed.
At no former period of our history was the
navy of Great Britain in the state in which it is
at this moment ; and if its services should be re-
quired, the nation will find cause of ample grati-
tude to Lord MrLviLtiz, and that Board of Ad-
miralty, which has unostentatiously but persever-
ingly pursued a system which has re-created a fleet
superior to the united Navies of all the rest of
the world, and provided the means for its equip-
ment and maintenance with expedition and
efficiency.

We have received the French Papers of Fri-
day, and the Etoile, dated Saturday. The news
in them from Spain appears of a warlike charac-
ter, notwithstanding all the hypocritical preten-
sions of FERDINAND and the Apostolicals to
give a peaceable colour to all their movements.
But if the accounts from Catalonia be true, the
Army of the Faith will find enough at home to
employ their brave propensities. The embers of
the Constitutional fire, though smothered, are not
yet quenched; andFERDINAND would do wisely
to set all right at home before he meddles with
the affairs of Portugal. It appears, however, that
the Marquis of CHAVES is to try his fortune once
more with the Portuguese rebels, and will probably
make
entrylt into Portugal before the end of
this o
hiso
is even stated that the Viscount
mn l .
DE MONTEALEGRE has returned in disguise to
stir up a new insurrection in the provinces of
Tras-os-Montes and Beira.
Meantime pEREtp.

:amburgh papers of the 10th inst. have been
received this morning ; they contain a curious
article, highly honourable to the Regency left in
Stockholm during the KING'S absence in Nor-
way. The Consistory at Carlstadt thought that
poor children would be learned enough if they
could read the Psalms tolerably, hut-the Regency
rebuked this feeling in very pointed language,
which will be productive of great good, as tend-

STOCKHOLM, MARCH 12.
His Majesty has resolved to prolong, till the 15th of
July, the permission to import rye and barley, on payment
of a duty of 1 and 2 rix-dollars, and of hay duty free.'
The Regency appointed during the King's absence hi
Norway decided an affair which has excited the attention
of the public. A district in Wermeland had resolved to
establish a Lancasterian School, because the instruction of
youth in religion, and in reading, was much neglected. It
was determined to erect a school-house near the church, to
the exisence of which all the inhabitants were to contribute.
Some who lived at a distance refused to contribute,
alleging that their 'children could not visit the.
school. The affair was referred to the Consistory
at Carlstadt, which reversed the decision of the Commune,
for this reason, among others, " that it was sufficient for
the poor working classes, if they could read tolerably the
Psalms and prayers which they hear, every Sunday in the
church." When this decision came before the Council of
State it was annulled, and a letter, addressed to the Con
sistory, which says, " It has excited our highest displea-
sure that we have found such expressions in a decision
given by you, upon a question which relates to one of the
Most important parts of your office, namely, that a little
knowledge of reading was sufficient for the working classes,
and a better education dangerous, though on such better
education depends an accurate knowledge of their religious
and civil duties. Considering our constant endeavours to
promote public instruction and private education, such ex-
pressions are 'wholly unexpected by us, 'and agree neither
with the ordinances issued by us from time to time, re-
specting the improvement of the schools, &c. in the king-
dom, nor with the just wishes of the nation and the wants
of the age."

AMSTERDAM, APRIL 13.
The Amsterdam Courant contains long extracts from
he Batavian Journals of the 6th December:

We understand that the resignation of Boi. 1-
VA.R. is placed beyond doubt. What his motives
were, for a step so decisive, it is difficult -to
say, but probably the dissatisfaction manifested
by the party inimical to his elevation may be a
principal reason. One thing is certain that Co-
lombia owes him much, and the inhabitants .of
the new world their liberty. In another column
weJiave given some-particulars. The following
is a leuer.of the 26th February, from Laguayra

On the 6th inst. Bolivar sent.in his resignation as Pre-
sident of Colombia, since which we, have been very fertile
in rumours, as to a new system of Government, &c. &c.,
but nothing certain is known; where the seat of government
will be established is a matter of doubt. The merchants
here had taken exception to some of the decrees of Bolivar,
which' went to enforce payment of the Custom-house dues
in hard money instead of paper. Since the late convulsion
trade and confidence have been almost annihilated in these
provinces, and specie, consequently, not attainable for any
purpose. Altogether this country is in a most unsatisfactory
state.

We received this morning Brussels Papers of
the 14th inst.; and Prankfort Papers of the 9th.
It appears that the Project of the Law for' the or-
ganization of the Courts of Justice has been
agreed to.

The Russian Government ,find it difficult to
make the Tartars of the Crimea good scholars,
and are therefore about to adopt some plans for
more effectually diffusing knowledge among
them :

BRUSSELS, APRIL 11.
In the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States-
General yesterday, the debate on the project of law for the
organization of the Courts of Justice, was at length brought
to a conclusion. It was agreed to by a majority of d► 9 to 42.
BRESSELS, ♦2RIL 13.

The Diana, Captain Meulenbroek, sailed on the Gth
from Flushing for Batavia, with the troops which were to
have embarked in the Schelde, which last vessel was
brought into the basin at Antwerp on the 2d.
STUTTGARD, APRIL 8.
The Swabian Mercury contains the following article :
" It is known that for some time past, there have been
various reports respecting the discovery of a conspiracysaid
to have been farmed agai9lt the Government. Werhowever,
are able to affirm that there is not the smallest danger
in this respect, but that the police had an intimation of a
plan of this kind, conceived in the head of an inexperienced
young man ; and that with the exception of an attempt to
seduce a small number Of peasants, the plan was confined
to the absurd reveries of its author. Even if it had not
been discovered by the police, there Would have been no
danger that an enterprise conceived by a solitary individual,
without any ramification either' t home or abroad, could
have found any partisans, or assume any- solid shape; and
most certainly the love of the people of Wirtemburg for
their King, and their faithful attachment to his dynasty,
would not have been affected by it for a moment.

MATENCE, APRIL 6.

Four Wirtemburg families, consisting of 18 persons,
passed down the river yesterday on their way to America.
FRANCTORT, APRIL 9.
In the 10th sitting of the German niet, on the 29th of
March, the President annonneed that his Britannic Ma-
jesty, had recalled his Minister M. Frederick Cathcart,'
and appointed M. John Ralph Milbanke, Charge d'Affaires
during the absence of a Minister.
His Majesty's letter dated Windsor, March 12, to the
Sovereign Prince and free cities, announcing the recal of
M. Cathcart, and Mr. Canning's letter to the President of
the Diet, announcing the appointment of M. Milbanke,
were read. The answer being agreed upon, it was resolved
to place his Majesty's letter in the archives, and to recog-
nised Mr. Milbanke as Charge d'Affaires.

CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 12

The Government has laid a new duty on the silk o:
Broussa, and it is feared that it intends successively to aug:
ment the duties on all the productions of the Levant.

ST. PHTERSBURCH, MARCH 27.
Notwithstanding the constant endeavours of the govern-
iwnt to diffese knowledge throughout the Russian empire,
the Tartars of the Crimea have not profited from them, as
might be wished. Since the Union of the Crimea with

.ussia, the Tartars have remained nearly in the same state
as before. The Russian language is very little known
among them, and in many places they are entirely unac-
quainted with it. This circumstance is a great hindrance
to the intercourse with the Russians, and to the endeavours
of the magistrates to make the Tartars acquainted with
the ordinances of the Government. To remedy this incon-
venience a particular establishment is to he added to the
Gymnasium at Sympheropol, to educate teachers for the
Tartars, in which children, especially those of the Tartar
priests, are to be educated at the expense of the Grown.—
After completing this course of study, they are to, he placed
as teachers in the Tartar schools; Which are, established in
some town or village of the Mimic' Government, and are
maintained out of the funds belonging to the mosques.

Every man who endeavours to ameliorate the
condition of the human race deserves well of
his country, and propitiates the good will of pOs-
terity. The deplorable condition of the natives
of Africa has often awakened the sympathies of
the philanthropist, and roused the indignation of
reasonable minds. But, although their wrongs
have been pictured with glowing truth, and the
generous ardour of the British people been inte-
rested in their favour, yet the poor Africans
have reaped little advantage from the abolition
of the Slave-trade, while other nations carry on
that inhuman traffic with an avidity proportioned
to the extremity of the case, and, regardless of
the misery they create—set off the absence of
competition against the chance of capture.
Scarcely an arrival comes from that ill-fated
coast, where all the ties of nature are torn
asunder for the sake of gain, but details of atro-
cities too shocking to contemplate are present-
ed to public wonder, or individual commisera-
tion. Various have been the plans proposed for
remedying this melancholy evil, but
none has yet
produced the desired effect. England, though fore-
most-in abolishing a guilty practice, in which, un-
fortunately for her fame she participated too largely,
has not been able either by intreaty or threats to
prevail upon other nations to follow her example,
or to believe in the sincerity of her conduct.—
They are too much interested in the spoil to be
convinced of their own error, to appreciate the

- ,i+QIS

integrity of her views ; and, unfortunately for the
misguided Africans themselves, the facility of
sale keeps up the stimulus to traffic, thus perpe-
tuating their own degradation by acts of rapine
and revenge, which brutalize their natures and
afford a plea of justification to those who prose-
cute a trade so revolting to humanity. But it is
obvious that if there were no purchasers, there
would be no sellers of slaves, and those who
seek the coast of Africa to trade in human vic-
tims are far more guilty than the savages who
supply them. But it is idle to hope for the entire
suppression ofthis odious trade without first impro-
ving the minds of the natives, and bringing them to
a due sense of their present degradation—and the
bright prospect before them, by cultivating the
arts of civilization and good-will towards each
other--

These are the arts that humanise mankind—
and the introduction of these into the interior of
Africa will do more than the Navy of England
in abolishing the Slave Trade.

In another part of our Paper we have in-
serted a very feasible plan for accomplishing this
humane object by Mr. HEATON C. DE CRES-
PiGNy, who proposes that a road sufficiently
broad should be made from the British. Settle-
ment of Sierra Leone to Cape Coast. This road
would be of incalculable benefit to the na-
tives, by accelerating the means of communi-
cation ; and other roads could be gradually made
to branch from this main one, so as to diffuse
every comfort over the country. The plan may,
at first sight, appear simple ; but it is laid in a
deep knowledge of human nature. It was
by their roads the Romans secured the triumph
of their arms, and civilised the barbarous coun-
tries which they conquered. Our ignorance of
the interior of Africa is entirely owing to the
want of good roads. No traveller can ven-
ture thither , without a guide, the traces
of whose feet are lost in the wilderness as
effectually as if he trod the ocean. We feel
convinced, that' f a liberal subscription were set
on foot for accomplishing this road, that the
progress of civilization would be very rapid in
that unhappy country, the ample resources of
which would thus, be soon brought into the
market, for the gratification of Europeans and
the benefit of the natives.

For promoting this subscription we need not
appeal to public sympathy, by picturing the scenes
of misery to which these poor beings are ex-
posed—words could not sufficiently express, nor
imagination well conceive, the deplorable condi-
tion to which the African slave is reduCed--,

torn from. his country,- though savage still
dear to him, with all the tender recollections of
home crowding: upon his frantic sensibility—
he is borne away in bondage to writhe in chains
under the. hatches of despair, with the hot stench
of suffocation—the occasional burst of agony,
and the .horrors of hourly death and putrefaction
around him ! , , •

The. following is a copy of the circular
STOKE DOYLE, Ocitm.a, APRIL 7, 1827.
Sin,—With the view of more speedily putting into ope-
ration the plan which I herewith lay before you for the more
effectual suppression of the Slave Trade, I am induced to
solicit your aid, and earnestly implore of you to subscribe

of you to excite your more wealthy neighbours to a sense
of pity and charity towards the thousands of souls that are
ready for embarkation along the coast of Africa.

Your most obedient servant,

THE FUNDS-7-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clack.

To-day (Easter Monday) being kept as a holiday at the
Bank as well as bothk the Stock. Exchanges, the Brok-era
and , Jobbers have met on the Royal Exchange in rather
greater ritiinbera than usual, arising from the peculiar situa-
tion in which' the country is 'placed by the re,s.ent events
relative to the change in the Administration, but up to the
aboVe hour not ;Imre than two or three private bargains
bane been made at'B2l k; Colombian-Bonds have had. a
sudden fall to 97, froth the publication, in a Morning
paper, of an, apparently Olcial, document, purporting to be
from BoliVar, resigning the whole of the important offices he
held in that Republic, and expressing his earnest desire to
retire to private life ; some doubts are, however, entertained
that it is not genuine; a report of this description was cir-
culated on Saturday which was not, however, credited.
Private lettere from the same quarter make no mention of '
any aucb intention on the part of this extraordinary man—
should it, however, prove true there does not appear any
thing very extraordinary in it. Bolivar has been charged
frequently with ambitious views, and he may have taken
this mode of completely doing away with that impression ;
he may require rest from the long and anxious time spent
in the service now that they are ir. tranquillity; he still,
however, remains among them, declares his unabated re-
gard for his 'country, and adds; his sword and services, if
required, *ill still continue at their command; there may
be also other and ulterior movements emanating from this
resignation, but the feeling seems general in the City, that
if this is the caie.it will be only for the future welfare and
benefit of that country which owes its existence, as a power,
to the long services of this indefatigable Juan.
Two o' Clock. Consols, 824.83.

Private business has been,done in Consols at •82i, buyers,

stated, has acquired further credit, and the Bonds have de-.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.

The arrival of last week was tolerably good of most
kinds of Grain; of Foreign Oats it was large; and of
English Flour considerable. This morning there is a fair
show of samples from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, of Wheat,
Barley, Beans, and Peas ; and several more Foreign vessels
are reported with Oats. Superfine samples of Wheat have
obtained the terms of Ibis- day se'nnight ; but all other de-
.seriptions are very dull' in• sale. Itariey does not sell so
freely as of late, and last quotations are hardly maintained.
Beans and Pease are without variation. Most of the

'oreign Oats that now arrive, are going to granary in
bond, from the expectation that they will be allowed to be
entered after the 15th of May, at a duty of 4s. per quarter,
under the Old Corn Bill ; this circumstance keeps a great
quantity out of the Market at present, and the trade fully
supports the rites of last Monday. The Flour trade con-
tinues in a languid state.
