" Accounts from Augsburgh, dated the 30th
ult. say, The report of the dissolution of the
States of the Tyrol, by an insurrection of the

stored.'

As we have given au ample account of last
night's Debate in the House of Commons, on the
subject of the Abolition of the SLAVE TRADE, in
our Paper this day, we shall forbear to enter into
that subject ourselves, farther titan to remark, that

Lord CASTLEREAGH gave a comprehensive and
most satisfactory statement of the measures which
nave been adopted by our Government, and of
[he beneficial results that, in 'due time may pro-

duce the total extinction of this horrible traffic.
As to the sum of 400,0001. given by this Country
to. Spain, it may be considered as not merely the
grant of the present rare of Britons, but the
cheap and noble tribute of the BRITISH CHA-
RACTER, which we trust our posterity, for ever,
will most anxiously endeavour to maintain.—
Besides, if the plan suggested by Dr. Tnortre, in
a work which we recently noticed in our LITE-
RARY REVIEW, should hereafter be Adopted, of
promoting CIVILIZATION among the Atrican Po-
tentates and their people in general, the advan-
tages, in a commercial point of view, will hence be
incalculable, and will spew that this sum has not
been an idle, wanton, or merely an honourable
tribute of national humanity; but that it has, in
reality, been laid out towards the furtherance of
interests of the utmost benefit to us, in matters of
mercantile profit, while it contributes to the ame-
lioration of society, and the general happiness of
mankind.

Mr. Potrms presented a Petition from cer-
tain Inhabitants of Manchester, and also made a
long statement, for the purpose of sheaving that
the late disturbances at that town, and in other
quarters adjacent, were excited by Government
Agents. We have no doubt, however, that these
allegations will be satisfactorily proved to be un-
founded by the Reports of the Secret Commit-
tees, who are now occupied in investigating the
subject.

IThe late SPEECH, or Message, of the PREst-
DENT of the United States of America has passed
wimh an indifference, on the part of the Public
Writers of this Country, which we noticed with
much sarprize, and we have more than once ex-
pressed that surprize, not unmixed with censure,
as indicating a want of due attention to the national
interests, or of competence to direct the.opinions of
the people. But though our Journalists seem to have
been struck with the specious view which the Speech
takes of the prosperity aad growing prospects of
the United States, and which spread a (Littering co-
lour over the whole, it appeared to us to be a docu-
ment pregnant with mischief, and calculated here-
after to involve the interests of this Country and
its Transatlantic Dependencies in no slight degree.
Ilre trust that our Ministers have not been as in-
different to a subject of this importance as the
shallow Politicians of most of our Public Jour-
nals, anti we shall endeavour, to.morrow, to im-
press upon the'forrner some sti iking points in the
document in question, presuming to hope, that
if they have not already considered the subject,
they will feel it to be their duty t.o devote to it
particular and profound attention ; otherwise, to
nothing of their patriotism, their character
for political sagacity will suffer in time opinion of
every-enlightened Statesman throughout Europe.

ARTIII/R THIRTIEWOOn.—It appears from cur
Law article, that ARTHUR THISTLEWoOD was only
indicted in the common form, and upon the infe-
rior charge of sending a It t ter .with a provocation
to fight a duel and disturb the King's peace. We.
know• not if his friends and supporters will ac-
knowledge any generosity on the part of his Pro-
secutor, in this forbearance. 1-ICwas not, perhaps,
aware that such an offence assumes a n►tich more.
serious form, anti might tell tor a much heavier
penalty, when directed against a Peer of Parlia-
n►ent and a Secretary of State.

Our Ship News of to-day contain nothing of
