A certain ,Morniag Paper, which never suffers a day
to elapse without some tirade against oppression, some
case of injustice to complain of, or some lament of the
illiberality of the age, has this morning one a most
gross and wanton attacks on oneof the largest and most
ostensive Banking-houses in Europe, as well as on the
French Minister, of Finance, M. de VILLEr.s. The "Jew
Banker," as the Principal of the House to which we have
alluded is called, is accused of a stock-jebbinragiogage by
the most vile means;" and we are told, that di people im-
plore on his head the curses of all honest men." With-
out stopping to enquire what the curses of honest men
are, we hesitate not to say, that this charge, which ap-
pears under the mask of a private letter from Paris, is
as unjust as it is malicious. M. de ROUISCHILD is ac-
cused of holding a rapid communication with this and
other countries by means of couriers ; but we have yet
to learn, that procuring early intelligence is any more
a crime in a Banker than in the Proprietor of a News-
paper (though, to be sure, the Journal to which we
allude has not sinned much in that way lately).—
We are aware that the superiority of M. de Borns-
CHILDS over most other persons engaged in Stock.
speculations, by means of a correspondence with every
city in Europe, has excited the envy of some less fortu-
nate and less honourable Stock-brokers, and it is with
some of those that we suspect the calumny has originated.
But it is not only Mr. R. that has been attacked, but
the Jews are insulted in a manner worthy of the perse-
cuting spirit of the thirteenth century, when this oppressed
race were treated with the most wanton brutality, and
had no security for either their persons or their property.
There is not, we feel assured, a more honourable man
is existence than the Gentleman who has been so un-
pro-nakedly attacked ; and we can assure our contem-
porary, that though a Jew, he is as incapable of
14 stock-jobbing by vile means," as any Cluistian in
either Paris or London can be.

In another column we have given some further intel-
ligence from South America. The letter addressed to
the Right Honourable Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, by the British merchants at Buenos Ayres, is
another proof, that notwithstanding the cavillings of a
few politicians at home, the measures adopted, in re-
gard to the South American States, are perfectly satis-
factory to those who are most interested in the recog-
nition of their independence.
Intelligence of an unfavourable nature is said to have
been- received from Bogota, via Madrid and Paris. As,
however, we have later intelligence from Peru and
Colombia than we could receive by a route so circui-
tous, and all intelligence from Madrid is justly liable
to suspicion, we attach no importance whatever to
the rumour.
One of the French Papers, the Etoik, in remarking
on the coajectures of the English Journalists relative to
ITUIIIIDE, takes occasion to say most positively that
not a single Wench soldier will fight under his standard :
and this is the more remarkable, because the Etoile has
*lt along held out the idea that Frnaninz is gone to
declare in favour of a Bourbon Prince. We therefore
~take
the. declaration of the Etoik as a clear avowal of a
pacific policy on the part of France in regard to South
America—which cannot but be regarded as a very satis-
factory circumstance at the present moment.

Our University is now finally established, and the
number of the Students already amounts to 150.
Within a few months from this time, courses of lecture
'Mil be commenced in all the branches of the Sciences
and Belles Lettres, in the same manner as the best orga-
nized Universities in Europe.. At present there are
Professors of Mathematics, Divinity, Metaphysics, Logic,
Ethics, Botany, Rhetoric ; the Greek, Latin, and English
Language., and History. A botanic garden, planted a
few months ago, thrives admirably. The modern Greek
