When we said on-Tuesday last that we would repress
the utterance of our just denouncements against the
TARQUIN of a late catastrophe, we did not calculate on
the hard and inveterate villainy which has been since ex-
hibited by that delinquent and his mercenary gang. It
is, however, time now to put a stop to this continuous
outrage of the public feeling, end to give him and his tools
warning of the precipice which yawns beneath them.
Hank not been sufficient to defile the wife, and destroy the
husband? What more would the illustrious RA v times
have ? The fruits of his damned amour, without their disho-
nour ?—never. He hu rioted in guilt —let him take the in-
famy without murmuring. Ttupitucle is his name, even
more truly than her's. is " frailty."
-It wad not our intention to recur to the scenes and
actors in this melancholy drama, had we not seen
lately—with mingled disgust and abhorrence—a regular
scheme, on the part of the arch culprit and his adher
rents, not merely to exonerate in the public eye the perpe.
trators of that undeniable adultery, but to blacken and de-
stroy the character of an affectionate and noble relative,
whose conduct towards her unhappy kiaswoman, from
the first moment of the painful, discovery, has boa
exemplary in 'a high degree. Two or three articles in the

that we will bring forward facts, which—but for
vile aspersions—might never have seen the 1

facts of so revolting a character, and so damning in ill
their circumstance, that the parties upon whom they
shall be charged could not live before the tempest of
popular execration, which their simple recital wou'd
Conjure up. So far from that noble and injured Lady
having either invented, or propagated the scandal attri-
buted to her, elle received her first knowledge of the face
which destroyed the domestic peace of her late lamented
relative from his own mouth, as did also other members of

the family,some time after the matter was known to
many, and was becoming daily more and more a theme
of public animadversion. The conduct which she has put-
sued since, Las been the reverse of that imputel
to her by these malignant and cruel defamers. Let then
abstain, therefore—if they be not mad, as well as crimi-
nal—from pushing matters to extremity, by dissemi.
nating falsehoods, which will compel us to let in such
light upon these guilty mysteries, as shall make the prin-
cipal Actor in them too happy to escape in precipitation t•,
circles and countries, more congenial to his abandoned
habits and depraved propensities.

When a morning contemporary asserted some days'
ago that General IC Iwo was dismissed from his situa-
tion at Court in consequence of having voted in the mi-
nority, we at once denied the probability of His MA-
JESTY'S being capable of such interference with the
independence of Parliament. The assertion of the
Times having been contradicted by his evening satellite on
Saturday, it is repeated to-day in the " leading journal"
with a becoming compliment, such as " our excellent con-
temporary is not usually pertinacious in error !" We
shall only say that should the report prove correct,
nothing shall ever induce us to believe that General
KING would have experienced this signal proof of the
Royal displeasure, bad it not been for an interference
which it is needless to point out. We have had too
many specimens of the oummary mode in which Mi-
nisters and other public servants are dismissed during
the last two years, to be at any loss on the subject
of Lord MOUNTCHAALES :or General KING. We
should like to know who is to be the next victim at
Windsor ?

By the express from Paris at an early hour this morn-
ing, we have French journals of Friday, from which we
make the subjoined selections :

From the Gazette de France.
VIENNA, FEL 2.

The mail from Constantinople, dated 11th January, did not arrive
till to.day. The Captain Pacha, Papondchi, Acbmet Pacha, who,
by severe illness, had been brought to the brink of the grave, has
been saved by the care of the French physician, Dr. Baiilie, who
has made a long stay In;Greece, and has now been for some time at
Constantinople. The Beet from Alexandria, which has been so long
expected, arrived in the port of Constantinople on the 27th of De-
cember, to the number of sixteen sail. Divisions of troops from
Shumla are daily arriving. Fable Pacha, Osman Pacha, and
Hussein Pacha, are also arrived in the capital. The latter, who
particularly distinguished himself by his courage, was received with
great distinction by the Sultan, who gave him the Order of Military
Merit, richly set in diamond,.

PARIS, Yes. 12.

The official part of the Moniteur contains a Royal Ordinance
by which Dudon is appointed President of the Departmental Col.

On the 17th of January the Grand Duke of Tuscany, returning
from a journey, was overturned in his carriage near Arreso. His
Royal Highness had his shoulder.blade broken; but it hoped, bow.
ever, that the accident will not have any serious consequences.

WARSAW, JAW. 24.

The exchange of couriers between Paris, Petersburgh, and
London, is very frequent. The choke of a Bing for Greece
seems to occupy these Cabinets. Russia wishes to have Prince
Frederick of the Netherlands, and will not consent to the ap.

pointment of the Prince of Coburg, except on certain conii.
lions; one of which is, that he shall be completely in.
dependent of England, and for that purpose he shall give

up his pension, or convert it into a capital to be hypothe.
rated somewhere beyond the jurisdiction of England. It Is
thought that the English Cabinet will agree to this proposition, and
that it will apply to Parliament for a round sum In lieu of the an.
nual pension. There is no obstacle at Petersburg to the marriage
1 of this Prince with a Princess of Orleans, which, on the contrary, is
looked upon u advantageous to Greece.
We learn from Constantinople, that M. de Boutinieff has sun.
ceeded in obtaining from the Porte, the firmans which be required
for the navigation of the. Black Sea.
A letter from Dresden, of the 4th February, says her Royal High.
tress Princess Amelia Augustus, the wife of Prince John, has been
safely delivered of a Princess.

of January, has only just been published :

A Madera Mail brought yesterday Brussels Papers
to the 13th February, and the Allgemeine Zeitung to the
7th February. The following are extracts :

BRUSSELS, Fes. 10.
Yesterday evening we learnt with regret what we at first could not
believe, but what we find to be too true, that the Editors of the
Courricr die Pays Bas and of the Delp, after having undergoes
examination, were put under arrest, on account of the publication of
the letter of M. De Potter, relative to the project of a National
Subscription. M. De Potter was also interrogated and llama
diately put into solitary confinement..—Journa, de la Belgivw.
Fes. 11.—It appears that M. De Potter's letter on the project
of a National Subscription is attempted to be represented as tend-
ing to organize a conspiracy to overturn or to change the Govern-
ment. The prosecution has been commenced by virtue of Art. 87
and 102 of the French Penal Codc, xhich is still in force.

Yesterday afternoon M. de Potter was interrogated by M. Coun-
sellor Delecourt and afterwards placed in solitary confinement, oily
with a guard in his room ; not even his mother has been allowed to
see him. Messrs. Coche-Motuens and Vanderstrachten, summoned
the same day to appear at five in the afternoon, were interrogated by
M. Delecourt, and immediately sent to prison at the Petits Caress.,
and put in solitary confinement.
These rigorous measures hare plunged three respectable families
in profound affliction, and the real friends of their country are

equally grieved at these new proceedings.—Jostrosal de la Belgique.
FZB. 12.—M. de Potter, Coche-Blontens, and Vanderstrachten,
are still kept oa secret. It is said the papers of M. de Potter have
been put under seal.--Journal de la Belgique.

A Journal abuses our respect for misfortune, which we still hold
sacred, mid is surprised that we have not spoken so soon as itself
of judicial proceedings, of which we were first informed
1 through its columns. We might be surprised that the same
IJournal should aggravate the fate of its friends ; and not
comptehend what is due to their intentions. After wholly
setting aside every question concerning persons only, we answer,
not without regret, to the attack made on us; we will re-
peat, that the organisation of a hostile system having its own ex-
chequer, paying salaries, decreeing honorary rewards, has appeared
to us to be a most ridiculous Idea in the midst of a nation habitn-
ated to reflection, and faithful to its oaths. As fur the idea, was
it, as our adversaries maintain, really serious ? Was it intended
to create in the midst of the state another general administration for
the advantage of a party ? We flatter ourselves that in this sup-
position, which is not ours, it is not to us that the question should
be put, whether it is the duty of the Constitutional Government
to provide with firmness for its own preservation t o maintain the
authority of the laws, and to preserve the Crown from the attacks
of faction ?—Gaulle des Pays Bas, Feb. 13.
AUGSBURG, FED. 6.

A letter from Silesia of 31st January, says, that the political
news from the North is in direct contradiction, as far as the affairs
of Russia, Turkey, and Greece are concerned, with those that come
in such various shapes from the South and the West. Far from
expressing any ground for alarm for the renewal of the war,
the accounts num Anemia speak only of the uninterrupted
friendly negociations, relative indeed to subjects Involved in
great difficulties, but which have not yet given rise to any
sort of misunderstanding, and the execution and duration Of

the peace of Adrianople, are beyond all doubt. Turkish Am.
bassadon Mere on their way to St. Petersburgh. Russian
negociators : are at Constantinople, end the Ambassador is
hourly expeted there. The Black Sea is open; the stipulations re-
lative to Sepia and the Principalities are beginning to be carried
into effect ; the Greeks possess their territory, and the Turks occupy
the provinces evacuated by the Russians. With respect to the in.
demnity to Russia, the Porte, not denying its obligation to pay it,
negotiates to obtain some reduction from the generosity of the other
party. As for the future Sovereign of Greece, perhaps the people
may be kft to settle its own affairs under the President. As for a
renewal of the war, the certain consequences would be, to put Con.
standoople in possession of the Russian army, which was stopped
on its way by the treaty of Adrianople. Prance and England cer.
tainly have no mind to ;engage in a war in which the exertion of
their whole force would fail of the principal object—namely, to save
Coestintinople.—Allosseine Zsituteg.

By the Eclipse packet, D. Thomas Mascarahas, Cham-
berlain to the young Quzzw of Portugal, came from
Rio, with dispatches, the nature:of which has not trans-
pired. We presume that the change of Ministry in
Brazil, has at once settled the question of Portugal, and
that the reign of usurpation draws to an end. The pub-
lic discontent in that wretched country, the imbecility of
the tyrant's government, the incapacity of the men who
surround him, have never been more striking than since
the death of the Dowager Queen. With the present
elements Portugal will ever be the Theatre of misery
and civil war. Tranquillity is impossible while the pre-
sent men bear sway, men who have reduced the country
to a state more deplorable than that in-which it was left
by the dreadful earthquake about 70 years ago. Any
force sent from Terceira, which might serve for a point
d'appui, would be more than sufficient to put an end to
the reign of terror and desolation, as nine-tenths of the
population would immediately break out into insurrection.

Some of our Contemporaries have announced the ar-
rival of the Brazilian frigate Isabella at Plymouth, with
the Marchioness of SANTO% and her daughter on board.
We can state, on good authority, that the Marchioness
is not a passenger by that vessel, and that her daughter
only has arrived. She is an infant of between nine and
ten years of age, entitled Duchess of GOYA IRS, and the
.natural child of the Emperor Dow PaDnO. The frigate
was bound to Brest, but forced by adverse wind to put
into Plymouth on the 9th instant. The Duchess landed
on the seine day and went to the Royal Hotel, from
which she meant to proceed on the following to London,
stopping one night at Exeter. Her stay in town is
,likely to be short, as she is going to Pianos fee bar edu-
eation.—The frigate waits at Plyeasath fee crass.

Consols, which left off on Saturday at 923 3 for the Account,
opened this morning at the some price, won after were done at 923
for the Account, and at present may be quoted 923 i, and for neat
Account 923 93, for money 924 3, with little business doing as yet.
We have numerous arrivals this morning from all parts, but no po-
litical information has as yet transpired.

In the Foreign Market, the chief operation is in Spanish Bonds,
which have fallen about per cent. owing to their coming two per
cent. lower from Paris; but by the private letters from Holland, it
appears that a great rise has taken place there in the Spanish Bonds.
Brasil Stock is rather lower. In other foreign securities little doing
at present.:

Montreal Papers to the 10th January, Quebec to the 17th Ja.
nuary, Halifax to the Bth January, Demerara to the 13th January,
and New Brunswick to the Pith January, have been received this
meaning at the North and South American Coffeehouse.
The Montreal Papers state that it appears that the vessels em.
played by Lower Canada in the fisheries have diminished from 20
to eight since the year 1822.
We unierstand that the Attorney.Gtoeral has moved for a rule
to show cause, in the Court of Appeal, why au attachment should
not be issued against Mr. Justice Uptick', of Montreal Bench, Mr.
Rolland, Advocate, Mr. Henry Mackenzie, and Sheriff Chary, for
having been concerned in the second seizure of some books and pa.
pas belonging to the North West Company. The judgment of tht
Court of Appeals was that the first seizure was illegal.
The Halifax Papers say that the late accounts from Bermuda
state that Sir Peregrine Maitland's health was not favourable. He
was confined to his house.

It appears that the markets at Jamaica were very dull, but at Bee.
bice they were better.
The New Brunswick Papers say that the Parliament of Lower
Canada was to meet on the 10th January.
From the Demerara Paper we learn that the transport with th-
81st Regiment has arrived.:at Bermuda.
LIVERPOOL, Far. 13.—There being but a small supply of Bri.
tish Plantation sugar in the market, the business done for this week
is limited.

HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

There are no speculations of any importance going forward in the
Consol Market to the present hour, and Consols have continued the
whole of the morning at 92j, alternately buyers and sellers ; for
the Account for Money 92e e, for next Account 94 93.
The favourite speculation this morning is Spanish Stock in the
Foreign Market ; it has been done as low as 121, and at present
may be quoted 14e. In other Foreign Stock little doing.
Lima Papas have been received at the North and South American
Coffee-house to the 30th of October, but their contents are void of
interest.

The Feench division composed of two frigates and three corvettes,
which sailed from Brest, has arrived at Martinique on the 18th Dee.
At that period the above Island was In goodhealth and all was quiet
there.

We have advices from the Cape of Good Hope to the
3d December, which communicate some very interesting
intelligence from Swan River; and although not of later
date than the preceding arrival, is far more descriptive than
those yet received. It appears that Capt. Stirling's expe-
dition arrived out at the beginning of winter ; perhaps
no expedition ever reached an uninhabited coast
at a worse season, and with worse protection from the rains
and winds so prevalent there. It appears that Cockburn
Sound is the only safe anchorage near Swan River,
and this is capable of containing several hundred ships
in water of from four to fourteen fathom. Garden
Island is send, but covered with trees, and the loftiest
part is near 200 feet high. By digging wells in the
sand water is obt.iinati, but of bad quality ; about twenty
miles up the Swan River about 2,000 acres of good land
had been discovered, and higher up the river it is said to
be better. Lieutenant Preston was gone on an ex-
ploring expedition, and it was expected he would dis-
cover a third branch of the River, which it was thought
would prove a principal one. The chart is said to be very
erroneous. The climate is represented in these letters
as beyond doubt one of the finest in the world,
except when the wind is N.N.W. and notwithstanding
the rainy and windy weather, the settlers were
remarkably healthy. The scenery in the vicinity of the
Swan River is said to be beautiful. The scite chosen for
the town of Perth seems very favourable ; the principal
part was to be built on a natural terrace, a little below
the islands on the Swan River. An expedition for cross-
ing Darling's Range was about to set out, and excited
great expectation, as it was generally believed a fine
country would be discovered. The agricultural land fit
for tillage was thought to be confined to the vicinity of
the river, the rest of the country being a light sandy soil,
fitted for pasturage. There was abundance of fine
fish in Cockburn Sound, as well as in the rivers
and lakes, which abound throughout the country.
Remarkably fine limestone had been found as well as the
New South Wales cedars in large quantities, and it was
expected these, with salt fish, would be the first exports
from the New Colony. The new river discovered run-
ning to the southward had not been explored on account
of the season. The natives had not troubled the settlers
lin any interviews they had had, but they did not like the
Colonists approaching their wigwams, although they
sometimes came down and willingly parted with a
spear or throwing stick for some little present. One
of the privates of the sixty-third regiment was lost for
a week and came suddenly on a large party of the
natives with their wives and children, encamped on
the side of one of the lakes. They commenced an
attack upon him; but on his firing his musket and
wounding one, they all retreated. The town of
Perth, the destined capital of the new colony, was
founded on the 12th of August, the King's birth-day ;
and was situated a little above the junction of the Swan
with the Melretta water. A secure town, called Free-
mantle, bad been laid out at the mouth of the river op-
posite Gages Roads, and the settlers were building store-
houses, &c.
Wednesday, a General Assembly of the Academicians
of the Royal Academy of Arts was held at their apart-
ments in Somerset-house, when Charles Eastlake, Eeq.
was duly elected a Royal Academician, in the room of
George Dawe, Esq. deceased.
Mr. Macauley, jun. has been elected for the borough
of Caine, in the room of Mr. Abercromby.
At a time when so much has been said on the subject
of Ecclesiastical Reform, and of the disposition of Go-
vernment to aid by every just and reasonable means a
correction of all abuses, it affords but a very doubtful
earnest of its sincerity when we see that very worit and
most inexcusable of our Church abuses, the translation of
Bishops from one See to another, encouraged ; and per-
sonal cupidity allowed to triumph over principle and
local' , and pastoral attachment, which omht
to form the key-stone of Episcopal jurisdiction. We
!cannot • anything more hateful in itself, or la-
jurists to' than this practice; or any period at
which I pereevereace in it can come with a worse glees
from these who have the disposal of Church preferment. .

SOUTH AMERICAN REGISTER.

" INTERCOURSE WITH COLOMBIA.

The following message was received from the Pre-
sident of the United States :
To the Senate and House of Representatives,

OtexTtrunr,—The accompanying gold medal, comme-
morative of the delivery of the Liberator President of the Republic
of Colombia from the daggers of assassins on the night of the 25th
of September last, has been offend for my acceptance by that Go-
vernment. The respect which I entertain, as well for the character
of the Liberator President, as for the people and Government over
which he presided, renders this mark of their regent most gratify-
ing to my feelings. But lam prevented from complying with
their wishes, by tire provision of our constitution, forbidding the
acceptance of presents from foreign States by the officers of the
United States ; and it is therefore placed at the disposal of Congress.
" The powerful influence in the affairs of hie country, which the
sacrifices and heroic deeds of General Bolivar have acquired for him,
creates an anxiety as to his future course, in which the friends of
liberal institutions throughout the world deeply participate. The
favourable estimate which I have formed of the nature of the see.
vices rendered by him, and of his personal character, impresses me
with the strongest confidence, that his conduct, in the present condi.
Lion of his country, will be such as may best promote her true irate.
rest, and beat secure Ms own permanent fame.
" I deem the present a suitable occasion to inform you, that shortly
after my communication to Congress, at the opening of the Session,
despatches were received from Mr. Moore, the Envoy Extraor-
dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States to Co-
lorable, stating that he had succeeded in obtaining the assent of the
Council of Ministers to the allowance of the claims of our citizens upon
that Government, in the cases of the brig Josephine and her cargo,
and the schooner Ranger and part of her cargo. An official copy of the
convention subsequently entered into between Mr. ',Moore and the
Secretary of Foreign Affairs, providing for the final settlement of
these claims, has just been received at the Department of State. By
an additional article of this convention, the claim in the case of the
brig Morris is suspended until further information Is obtaioed by
the Columbian Government from the Court at Caraccus ; and Mr.l
Moore anticipates its early and satisfactory ajustment.
" The convention only wanted the ratification of the Liberator
President, who was, at the time, absent from Bogota, to be binding
upon the Colombian Government. Although these claims are not
comparatively of a large amount, yet the prompt and equitable min-
ter in which the applies ion of Mr. Moore in behalf of our injured
Citizens ass met by that government entitles its conduct to our ap-
probation and promises well for the future relations of the two
countries.

" It gives me pleasure to add an expression of my entire satisfac-
tion with the conduct of Mr. Moore since his arrival at Bogota.
The judgment and discretion evinced by him on occasions of much
interest and delicacy,--the assiduity displayed in bringing so nearly
to a conclusion, within five weeks after the arrival, claims which ha
been pending for !years„--and the promptitude and capacity with
which he bas entered upon other and more important portions of his
official duty, are calculated to inspire strong confidence in his future
usefulness. " ANDREW JACKSON.

THE MARQUIS OF BLANDFORD.
From the Sunday Papers.

We are happy to notice ewe among the younger portion of our
Arista:my who, laying aside these frivolities, the too common ap-
pendages of high rank, appears to deem )(Woolf born to something
more honourable than the mere dangling after the smiles of s Cabi-
net Minister—we allude to the Marquis of Blandford. who, on
two occasions during the last week, has nobly interposed to
prevent the voting of millions of the public money in a thin
House (on one evening there were only twenty-I*dt Members
present), and after midnight. His remark on Tuesday, on being
taunted on his fruitless opposition, was worthy of an independent
Member of Parilament. We wish we could see the sentiment
more generally adopted and acted on.--" I am no party," said the
Noble Marquis, "to any arrangement of business fur Friday. If
Hon. Gentlemen are.not in their places, it is their fault, not mine.
Here I am, and here I am determined to remain, and do my
duty." We think if the Marquis would try Westminster at the
next General Election, we could go near to ensure his success.—
Nem.

Oppose. then, gentlemen of the opposition, the items of supply
—do not let one of them pass without debate. The conduct of
the Marquis of Blandford has done him immottal honour; and
we hope it will stimulate others to follow his example. Let the poor
hacks of the ministry call such opposition factious, if they will ; and
let their base-born scribesand servants of all.work pity the represen-
tative of John, Duke of Marlborough, for not being more of a gentle.
man—the lickspittle plebeians of the Courier said something of the
kind in the course of the week..—such we say, is the opposition that
will eventually succeed. He has already succeeded in putting an end
to the dlgrax/n1 practice of passing votes of millions of money in a
house of twenty-eight persons--sis hundred and thirty of the
representatives of the people (Heaven help the mark I) being
absent! It was in vain that Goulburn whined and implored,
the Marquis was firm, and the unhappy Chancellor looking as
disconsolate as a kangaroo in a quinsy, was obliged to put off
his trial until a more convenient opportunity, when Billy
Holmes had whipped up some five score of beagles from the
various kennels about the Treasury. Lord Blandford will
find that the country is with him. We hope that when a dissolution
of Parliament takes place (and it may be nearer than is convenient
to some people) his Lordship will stand for Westminster. Every.
body is disgusted by the creeping servility of Hobhouse—the vilest
hack that ever lived by prostrating himself before the Minister for a
share of the taxes, could not have crawled more abjectly than the
gentleman who once boasted he would play the part of bloats
&tavola against Mr. Canning. He would be sure to turn out if op.
posed by the Marquis of Blandford.—Age.
