LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2S, 1829.

IN A SECOND EDITION OF THE SUN

THIS EVENING,
WE StIALI. GIVE BY EXPRESS,

THE SPEECH OF THE KING OF FRANCE

TO THE CHAMBERS,

DELIVERED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

It is said that Ministers have come to a de-
termination yesterday in Council to settle the
Catholic Question this Session. We wish they

may. It will be the most patriotic act they
ever attempted. Emancipate the Catholics,
and send the Royal Assent to that bill over to
Russia, and NICHOLAS will understand what
the Duke is about.

The arrival of the Russian Ambassador Extra-

Ordinary Count MATUSCENVICZ (the Court Cir-
cular baptiseshim in its own way M writ SCICHow)
has occasioned much speculation in the political
circles ; but as all is yet but mere speculation, we
abstain from any remarks on the subject to-day.
The Chronicle of this morning asserts that
England and Franca are on the best understand-
ing with each other, (which we trust may long
continue) but that Russia is determined not to
brook any restrictions with respect to the adjust-
ment of the war with Turkey, which must be
settled in her own way.

Letters to the 19th inst. from Lisbon, repre-
sent that capital as continuing in a desperate state.
The crew of the Don John the Sixth, a 74,
had mutinied, and placed their officers under
arrest, in the expectation of a general rising,
preparing themselves with red-hot balls, to repel
any attack that might be made. Various
changes in the Ministry were rumoured. Pre-
parations were making for new executions, and
all was in a state of great confusion.

The Lisbon Gazettes, from the 11 th to the 17th
of January inclusive,are chiefly filled with announce-
ments of changes and promotions in the army, and
accounts of the restoration of the health of his Ma-
jesty Don Miguel I.
The Intendant of Police has issued an order for
all houses where spirituous liquors are sold, to be
closed-immediately on the ringing of the bell. All
licences to the contrary to remain suspended and of
no effect.

Ilamburgh Papers of the 21st January have
been received, but they contain no particular
political news. The great writer of Germany,
E. V. SCHLEGEL, died on the 9th inst.:—

AlfslEltD4ll, JAN. 22.

The severe cold has not only frozen up our prin-
cipal rivers, but even the Y before this city, in such
a manner that already, last week, the country people
from North Holland passed over it, and now' it is
visited- by every body without danger, The cold

has since became much more severe, especially in the
last two days. _ _

STOCKHOLM, JAN. 13.

M. Huldberg, whose election as representative of
the town of Wadstena was declared null by the
Chamber of Peasants, and has been re-elected by
that town, was informed, on offering to take his seat,
that the Chamber must persevere in its resolution,
and could not acknowledge him as a Deputy. It is
however generally believed that M. Huldberg will
be elected by the town of Wadstena, and that no
farther objection will be made by the Government.
BERLIN, JAN. 19.

The celebrated writer Frederick Von Schlegel,
who had arrived from Vienna at Dresden, with the
intention of delivering lectures during the winter,
died on the 9th inst.

Count Von Matuszewicz, Russian Chamberlain
and Counsellor of State, has pasted through Berlin
on his way from St. Petersburgh to London with
dispatches.

The Courrier de Snwrne contains the following
article :

. " Mavrocordato and Trikupi are unquestionably
the tw•o most distinguished men in Greece:: the for-
mer is a man of great administrative talent: and in-
defatigable activity, the latter a useful and indus-
trious man of business. Trikupi, when a boy, was
taken to England by Lord Clifford, in whose house
he was carefully educated, and at whose death he
came into possession cf about 4,0001., left him by his
Lordship as a legacy. Some people think the Presi-
dent is apprehensive that England will interfere in
the form of Government about to be given to
Greece, and it is positively asserted that Mr. Strat-
ford Canning has expressed his dissatisfaction with
the measures already taken for the organization of
the civil and military department; the President's
forbearance towards General Church, the reception
given to Lord Cochrane, and the extraordinary re-
spect with which the English have for some time
past been treated by Count Capo d'lstria, lend an
air of probability to the rumour."

We direct the attention of all those of our
readers who arc interested in the consumption of
coals—and who is not interested at this season of
the year in the consumption of an article of such
prime necessity ?—to a letter in another column
from a most intelligent and patriotic Corres-
pondent, who signs himself "An Enemy to Mono-
poly." We have before stated it as our opinion
that monopoly is the secret evil which under-
mines the capital, and paralyses the energy of
this commercial country. Monopoly is the gaiN
of a few at the expellee of the many. It is unfair
in principle because it works in secret, and defies
competition. This is subversive of individual
enterprise, and consequently injurious to the
public interests, because, whatever precludes pri-
vate competition from the public market, must
be so far prejudicial to the great body of the
people. Whilst we admit that vested interests
should be protected, we cannot see the justice,
not even the expediency of countenancing over •
grown monopoly, that a few individuals may
realise immense fortunes by the legalized plun-
der of the public. The very principle of mo-
nopoly condemns itself. It is the combina-
tion of parties who aie not individually
strong enough to command, but who collectively
can lay down the law as imperatively as they
choose. ThiS is. taking undue advantage of
public weakness and profiting by the necessity
of the consumer.

The letter of our Correspondent exposes the
abuses which have existed in the Coal-trade,
but which, we trust, will no longer continue to
exist. We found this hope upon the public
spirit and forbearance exhibited by the Mar-
quis of LONDONDERRY, Lord DURHAM, and
other large coal proprietors, whose for-
tunes are as far above the necessity of ac-
cumulation, as their independence and,
sense of
public justice are duly appreciated.
With respect to the other parties interested in
the limitation of the quantity of coals, or in
the management of its production for the mar-
ket, we have only to say, that they .too
are blameless as far as the system is concerned—
it was not originated by them, but may be
al►andoned—yes, and abandoned with benefit
to themselves; for our Correspondent says—
" if the great capitalists would free themselves
from their present connection with the trade,
and work their mines to the fullest extent, that
they might double their quantity in many in-
stances, and more than remunerate themselves
for a reduction in price to the public of from ss.
to 10s. per chaldron." This would benefit both
the producers, and the consumers. Can they
hesitate ?

His Majesty's brig Mutinc, with a mail from
Jamaica, has arrived at Falmolith ; she sailed
from Carthagena the 30th of November, King-
ston the 17th of December, and Crooked Island
the 25th. The following are the only extracts
worth making :
His Majesty's brig Sphynx arrived at Kingston on
the lath December ; she encountered very bad
weather on her passage. In the House of Assembly
two subjects of interest had come before it ; one was
a resolution proposed by Mr. Mais, and acceded to ;
it respected the public revenue, and was to move
that the Receiver-General do lay before the House
a return and statement of the amount in his office of
the coin denominated unpillared or shield macaronies,
together with the causes and circumstances which
have arrested its circulation. It is understood con-
siderable loss has accrued to the revenue from the
bullion received in the Receiver-General's office in
the island on this account. The House in
Committee on the state of the island, sent a
message to his Honour the Lieutenant-Governor,
to the effect that they are ordered to wait on his

Honour, and to assure him, in reply to his second
message, of the 19th of November, that the House
duly appreciates the disposition of his Majesty's Go-
vernment to meet the wishes of the Assembly in
respect to the duties levied by the 6th Geo. IV.,
cap. 114., but that the House cannot, consistently
with the resolution of the 19th Dec., 1827, enter
upon the consideration of any Bill providing salaries
for the Officers of his Majesty's Customs,
until the sum of 33,0901. 13s. 41., specified
in their Address to his Honour, of the same
date, be paid to the Island Receiver-General.
That being done, the House will be in a situation to
make due provision for the salaries of the Officers
of his Majesty's Customs. The Slave Bill had
been read a second time, and it was understood it
would pass without any alteration. The 13th reso-
lution of the House in Committee was, to instruct
the Committee of Correspondence to ascertain
through the Island Agent, the practicability of
raising a Loan of one million sterling in Great Bri-
tain, on the faith of the revenues of the Island, and
the expenses and conditions on which such a Loan
could be negociated.

TUE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CI TY, TIVEL,R ge CLOCK.

Accounts have been received from Colombia this
morning; the dates from Bogota are of the 24th
November. General Santander had been tried,
convicted, and sentenced to death, but this punish-
ment had been commuted to banishment, and it is
reported that he is now on his passage to this.
country ; if he is really guilty of treason to the State,
the clemency shewn him augurs utrfavourably for
the tranquillity of the country, as well as the strength
of the Government. Great preparations were mak-
ing to carry on the war against Peru with effect,
and considerable orders, it is understood, have
arrived for various necessaries in this country, in
Consequence of this determination.
From Mexico they write that the want of news
from the army employed against Santa Anna
has given rise to the discontented in the capi-
tal spreading alarming reports. It was said Santa
Anna had defeated General Rincon, and driven
him back about twenty leagues, with the loss
of 800 men; but a courier has arrived which falsifies
the rumour, and brings news that this rebellious
Chief is surrounded by the national troops, and that
finding himself in a critical situation, and several of
his followers having gone over to General Rincon,
he had endeavoured to renew negociations for him-
self and his remaining followers, requiring a guarantee
for their safety. General Rincon had, however,
sufficient knowledge for distrusting him, knowing
that his object was merely to gain time, and after-
wards to endeavour to surprise him.

His Majesty's ship Doris has arrived at a port in
Ireland from Monte Video and Rio de Janeiro. We
have been unable to ascertain the dates she brings
from the latter port, or if any letters are yet up from
her.

With reference to a paragraph which has gone
the round of the Papers, and supposed to allude to the
Provincial Bank of Ireland, there is a great error. That
hank, invead of having 2,000,000/. of notes in circulation,
has little more than ,000,000/. ; and, and, so far from
only having a treisure of 30,000/. or 10,000/. in specie,
it is a fact that they are never with less than 10A,000/. in
gold in Dublin alone, besides having at each of its fifteen
branches throughout the country, sums never less than
20,000/. at each, and the principal ones 40,0001. Times.
The Lord Mayor has appointed Monday
next for the election of an Alderman for the Ward of
Bishopegate, in the room of Sir Richard Carr Glynn, who
has accepted the sinecure of Bridge Ward, vaunt by the
death of Sir William Curtis. The return of 111 r. Sheriff
Copeland is spoken of as a matter of positive certainty.
A respectable correspondent, well acqviainted
with agricultural affair., informs us, that in the county of
Wilts there is no likelihood of a deficiency of corn, there
being a plentiful supply of old wheat, a great quantity of
which has nut even yet been thrashed..— World.

Chancellor, who refused the motion with costs. Front
that decision an appeal had been lodged, and
Mr. SUDDEN applied this morning for the ap-
pointment of an early day for the discussion of the
matter. It was usual, in cases like the present, to
have the matter disposed of as soon as possible.
