Vl'mice, Russia, and the other Powers, continue

Morning.

The O►►tario, it now appears, is bound to the
Colimbia, and as we formerly stated, accompanied
by the most friendly wishes of Great Britain. So
Ear from throwing any obstacle in the wily of our
b`.ettletnent, it is said that Captain Hemv, of the
krirish sloop of war Blossom, " goes to renounce
all claim to the Settlement in the name of the
Iritish Government." So much for wars and
rumours of wars.

The Paris Papers of Sunday last, which were
due this morning, have not arrived,

The Morning Paper that was the prolific hot-
Ted of all the recent rumours of Ministerial
Changes, is very angry at the terms in which
they were contradicted by another Morning Paper,
which possessed better means of information. But
if the Paper io question will persevere, without
ally authority, in reports that are wholly unfound-
hl, it is evident that it must have some interested
purpose in view, or must feel a contemptible gra-
tification in the circulation of conscious falsehood.
Ire preceded all other Journals, in contradicting,
14)(41 the most positive authority, some time
the silly reports that there was an inten-
tion of recalling the Marquis of HASTINGS, and
that Lord MeLviLLE was going to India ; and
.14 the recent revival of those reports, we
denied them upon full authority. We also,
11)on the most solid grounds, were the first
to contradict the report of the intended re-
tirement of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, when it was
started seine months ago, and upon its late re-
newal ; yet the Paper in question obstinately per-
sisted in maintaining the truth of these imaginary
changes in Administration. It is with much
Pleasure we state that perfect harmony prevails
"(mg the Members of Government. They enjoy
the confidence of their Sovereign and the gra-
titude of the Empire, as they fully deserve,
as Well as the approbation of the world at
large, for having persevered in support of that
the Political Legacy of the immortal
►tTT,
by which, when all the Continental Powers
lad in turn submitted to an imperious and oppres-
sive Usurper, they delivered Europe from his
ferocious Despotism, and restored it to peace
and security. Long, then, may they live

CiMINGAUD.—The Morning Chronicle perseveres
41 its pity of this crafty agent of the exiled
Usurper, and in abuse of Government for ordering
!Its removal front this country. It also persists
accusing the Officers who took him into cus
lady of improper violence. We can positively as-
"re our Headers, that no force was used which his
