SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING-EOOll, TATTERSAIXS, JUNE 24.
The Subscription Room was not so wen attended as no doubt it
would have been had Dot the weather proved so inclement; yet
abode members present were of the first respectability. Betting on
the July Stakes at Newmarket and the Doncager qt.-Leger was
very brisk, and many engagements made to high figures on both of
them. There have been great alterations on the odds on several
horses since our last full account, as will be seen by the following
accurate statement

We have received numbers of the Greek Chronicle, a
journal published in Romaic at Missolonghi, down to
the 29th of March. They contain no news, but by their
general terfour chew that the Government is conducted
with regularity, and that no apprehension is entertained
of a fourth campaign. The number of the 26th gives
a frightful picture of the state of Candia.
Letters were yesterday received from Valparaiso, dated
February 14, at which date his Majesty's ship Miens
was lying at that port, together with a Dutch frigate
' from the River Ptate, and a Russian vessel of war from
the Island of Conception.
Letters from Genoa mention that a quarantine for
twelve days had been imposed on all vessels coming
from Naples, in consequence of symptoms of a contagi-
ous disorder which had appeared there.
The Ghent Journal mentions a report that :an in-
habitant of that part of the Netherlands has discovered
an invention, which, in point of economy and safety,
promises to supersede the use of the steans-engine. It
is even asserted, that a patent has been granted by the
King.of the Netherlands for this discovery, which, if
true, is no doubt of the very highest importance.
Pta.vres.—For some time past, the inhabitants of
the island of Cuba have evinced a very hostile disposition towards
the English traders on thit roast. The following particulars of a
most barbarous murder, committed upon the Captain and Grew of
a British vessel, are given by Captain Hmuntasox, of his Majesty's
schooner Ustoit, which vessel, in company with the Law, was
' cruising for the protection of trade in that quarter. The Emden-
leer sailed from Montego Bay, Jamaica, to fish for turtle MOM
the Keys. and was fallen in with by a felucca-rigged vessel, which
lent a boat on board. It appeared that a dog on board the Emden-
veer attempted to bite the first of the pirates who came en the

44 The present Congress meets under More favourable
auspices than the former. Last year the enemy still
occupied some important posts in the Republic, from,.
whence, spreading alarm to the neighbouring depart-
ments, he redoubled the efforts of his power to gain a
fortunate blow, to which the machinations of the disaf-
fected, whom we generously tolerate in our territory,.
might contribute. Happily their enterprizes were
checked, and their projects have only served to consoli-
date the public opinion, and to give additional lustre to
the glory of
_Colombia. You come to deliberate for
the benefit of our constituents, in the tranquil days
which PROVIDENCE has granted us, by the constant
sacrifices of the Colombian people and army. As un-
certain may •be the continuation of the present calm,
the Executive feels itself animated with the most lively '
pleasure, to present to you a most faithful picture of the
Republic, and to offer. you the ideas which experience
has furnished, persuaded that you will neler have a
greater field than in this Session, to employ, with success,
your patriotism and talents.
" The Go'Vettimnt Of his Catholic Majesty persists
in its ancients farms of disavowing the justice of our emancipa-
tion, and the power which has placed the Republic upon the level of
Independent States. The Cortes of Cadiz, in its last gasp, denied
the recognition of the new American States, insisting upon the
measure of sending "Conimissloners out, who niight hear our peti-
tion. The Executive had no knowledge of the Commission relative

;have highly estimated their declarations, eat can assure
Ito Congress, that in the progress of the Itegociation
ich may come on the carpet, I will not lose sight of
the dignity of the Gcrvernment, nor of the interests of
the Colombian people. If the union of the physical and
moral power of the Independent States of Americaf the
order and regularity of our association, respect to the
law, uniformity of opinion, the progress of learning, and
• the adherence of the Government to the path prescribed
By our fundamental laws, ought to weigh in the poli-
tical balance of nationsi we ought to hope, with entire
confidence, that neither Great Britain nor the other
Powers, will disavow the power and moral force which
the Republic of Colombia has acquired, to put herself
upon a level with them. I am determined_ to take ad-
vantage of any favourable opportunity to extend our
relations with other Powers, whose friendship can be of
sufficient interest and utility to the Republic.
" The negociations with the Apostolical Chair being
still depending, the Executive continues to expel fence
the difficulties which I announced to Congress last Ses-
sion; and I have to beg of you anew some certain regu-
lation to avoid the prejudices which we suffer. It is
probable that the ApOstolical Chair may accede to the
solicitations of the Executive, for the benefit of the
spiritual necessities of the Republic.
"'Teel the greatest satisfaction in informing Con-
gress, that the Republic. is extended to all the territory
which the fundamental law fixed. In all its vast ex-
tension there does not remain even a relic of the expe,
ditionary Spanish army, and the Constitution and the
Laws have fixed in it their . empire. Odra few men
of the Cauton of Pastollaire-withed to live by disorder,
and the Governmentlas been obliged, with pain, to
employ arms to crush this bud of disunion.
."-Public education has had an increase this year in
the establishment of new Schools avid Colleges. That
this important branch of common felicity may be ex-
tended, it is necessary to leave it to the work of time;
for neither can the people support the amount of con-
tribution for. education, having still to• ounteilsute to.
wards the stability of their independence, nor have we
sufficient preceitors. If the Congress authorises the
Executive to appropriate a sum from the. Public Trea-
sury for the purpose, and sanctions the general plan of
studies that I presented last ,Session, which, according
to its wisdom, it mardeees applicable to the circumi.
stances, I believe that its progress will not be doubtful.
" Few objects merit so much the attention of Con-
gress as the administration of justice. In this branch
the people suffered much, as much from the judicial
districts being very extensive, the superior tribunalsl
being placed at greater distances, as the complication
and contrariety of Spanish. Legislation present doubts,
delays, and even injustice. I know well that the abso•
lore vernirrat ea. ri•ii end nr;tirt:risi isa;ll,tiedi is not the
work of one Session;. but I am convinced that ;him
sent Congress can begin. this important otos ni: '• .
rating it from the cognisance of _the Intendants and
Governors, the contentious patties of Justice and State,
multiplying the Courts ofJusticeas our actual situation,
points out, organising them on .a more simple and econo-
mical scale than those of the three judicial districts, and
approving of the penal code which has been presented, '1
with those alterations which your wisdom and experience
believe useful to the happiness of the Colombians.
" The administration of justice, public order, and the
wawa of the people, our constituents require a quick
reform in, although it be only provisional in the terri-
torial division of some departments and provinces, more
particularly in the south. Although this matter supposes'
exact data, without which it would be difficult to ac-
complish a division beneficial ,to the people, it will not
be prejudicial that Congress make an essay of what I
point out.
" The laws relative to the naturalization of strangers,
privileges of navigation, and alienation of uncultivated
lands, have begun to beexecuted,and offer us fundamental
hopes of contributing strongly to the prosperity of the
i
Republic. Four hundred thousand fanegadas of .uno
cultivated lands, in different , provinces, have bons
alienated in virtue of law of the 7th of June. Thei
Executive will•pass to the Congress the applications for,
the privilege of steamboats in Lake of Maracaibo, }
the Frith of Guayaquil, and coast of the Pacific; and,'
as I do not doubt the good success of them, we .may
flatter ourselves that it will be of infinite consideration
to the improvement the Republic will receive..igitsan-1
ternal productions and commercial relatioes.
“ The constitutional organization has contiaturd pro-
gressing with regularity. All the authorities have en-
deavoured to observe the Bill of &gins of the Colom-
bian people, and if the difficulties which war, in a
country so fatigued with its ravages, throws ill litS.Avtaff'
have forced me to use the. ,extraordinary preregatiivet
which the law grants me, I have never exercised kali',
my own accord, nor longer than danger warranted if.
The regularity of our political career ought to be pari-:
titularly satisfactory to .us, and; iberespect!that yre frit'
fess to the Constitution has.inspired. civilised., 'lawns
with a very favourable idea of the• Republic; and, we.
have still to hope for events of: greater importance tb,
. our security, dignity, and power.
" The National. Fund nill be for some tirne. an. Pbjeci
of serious meditations, and unfruitful, and perhaps, pro-
judicial essays. To create a national fund in a coon-
try impoverished by the political regimen of the old
Government and 'laws, wasted by a lontf.and disas-
trous war, cannot but .be the work . of peace, of ex-,
perience, and the lapse of time. The Congress can
infer from these principles, .and those they heard last,
Session, what have been theufffictions the Executive has
experienced in the course of the year, and to what an
extraordinary degree kaye beentbe efforts employed tol
drive the enemy .from our terrikory,_or to give solidity
to the Republic. • I confess, with. the most lively plea-,
sure, that .without the pure patriotism of the Colombian.
People, and without'the heroic, sufferings. of. our_war-,
,ions, we should not have come off. victor-?us ill tilgi
struggle. Although the resources. which the JastsCons.
gress afforded have not yet been reared, coon tieg u pont
them,' 1 have made bold 'to. hive recojipcJoAllell
means to facilitate the course of Administration. I'

xR that the Ciigfressitifit toilsoitty; tritilfie

ii,juqus and importantduties the Constitution imposer.
i esteem it for the bettering of ihe National'Trea•
ittry tb ',change the system of administration and Ant-
tips of theßevenne. A Chancellor of the Exchequer's
Office, stationed at the ice of Goyerument, will faci-
tl* adthinistration of finance, as well as an ma-
litiSkureat tsf Departmental Exchequers, where the ac-
tounts are to be presented as early as possible. for their
revision, and to be audited. This regulation contem-
tes the abolition of the Aceomptant-General, the same
offices in the Departmental Treasuries, which saving
will be sufficient for the expense of the new offices.
The Congress will receive a Separate plan, which will
clevelope this idea.
" I return again to recommend to Congress the or-
tganisation of the Tobacco monopoly. This branch of
illevenue, receiving the support which may be expected.
fie. in my opinion, to increase the payment of the itt-
iterest of the foreign national debt, at the same time
'producing an acknowledged benefit to the cultivators.
The Executive has issued orders to apply the product
of this Revenue to a considerable part of the loan de
creed by Congress ; and it only remains that the loan
may be organised and its administration made uniform,
leaving to the Executive sufficient authority to follow
the influence of circumstances, which may be variable
during the recess of the Legislature. The revenue of
tithes, which, above providing for the Clergy, affords to
the Republic some resource, requires also uniformity in
its administrative regimen, and a check upon the clan-
destine inversion of its product. The direct contribu-
tion, although the most congenial to a liberal system,
is involved with obstacles and difficulties, which have
occupied the vigilance of the Legislative Body. Its en-
tire reform appears necessary, reducing it to terms less
confused and odious and more productive. I feel the
same on the other laws on indirect contributions. The
tax of one dollar on each mark of gold, for the National
Museum, ought not to exist: the product of this contri-
bution, compared with the deficit which results from the
clandestine extraction of metals in bars or dust, which it
causes, is so little, that it ought to be done away with.
" The department of the Post Office ought to occupy
the attention of Congress. The boundaries of the Re-
public are immense, and whilst the use of steam-boats
and good roads shorten the distance, the Posts ought
to facilitate the communication among all the citizens,
and between them and the Government. This revenue
ought not only ti accomplish such important objects,
but be productive to the National Treasury. I think
I do not deceive myself by being sure that, by improv-
ing our actual revenue, it will be sufficient for our ordi-
nary expenses, when we have paid for the rudiments of
war which we possess, and the army be placed on the

peace estaniunatent.
44 There is not time to know the result of *the opera-
tions of the Executive in arranging and settling the
loan of March, 1822. The interested in it have pro-
tested against, the law of the Ist of July; but as the
Esecutive .has endeavoured to fulfil the views of Con-
gress and the wishes of the friends of Colombia, I hope
to terminate this business to the satisfaction of the par-
ties interested, and to facilitate the negotiation of the
new loan. Then we will have given a noble example
of the good faith of the Government, and establish the
credit of the Republic. Posterity will not have to blame
us with having uselessly burthened it with a superfluous
debt to satisfy fictitious necessities: no. to posterity we
will leave our country and liberty.
gs If now come to speak of the glories of the Army of
Colombia. On slut get, if,Aufrwit. el&. ries !allows-

caibo was resicTrecTio—lEillepii after various suc-
cesses to our arms, particularly in the glorious naval
combat of the 24th July. The Chiefs to whom the Exe-
cutive gave the direction of the sea and land forces cor-
responded exactly well with the hopes of the Republic,
and, in virtue of the instructions which they had, granted
to the General of the enemy a capitulation, the merit
and generosity of which cannot be denied by the Spa-
niards themselves. Scarcely bad the Republic congra-
tulated itself with the triumph of the Army of the Zu-
lia, when its attention was . called to the acquisition of
Puei to Cabello, on the 6th Nov. in a manner which will
always reflect honour on the army of the department of
Venezuela and its Chief. This post had constantly re-
sisted the forces of the Republic, and in it the enemy
had established a rallying point for their operations.—
Since Puerto Cabello unfurled the Colombian banner,
Venezuela has been restored to tranquillity, and actual
war is concluded. The Executive has not seen with in-
difference these successes in the decrees which will be
presented to Congress ; I have presetved the recollec-
tion and approbation which they have deserved from
the Republic and Government.
" The army of Colombia, which has made war to
conquer peace, independence, and liberty, to whose
constant and eminent services the Republic owes its
tranquillity, whose arms are the strong shield which
defends the Constitution, this army, as much the friend
of independence as of liberty, such sufferers in priva-
tions, as well as valorous in the field of battle, deserve
laws to. preserve them from oppression and vexations,
and to secure to them a decent subsistence, to open the
door to honour, to favour them with justice in the dis-I
tribution of their rewards, and that their families may
not be forgotten after death. These laws I ask from the
Congress of Colombia, entirely with the con-
fidence that the Legislatnie of e Republic feel as sen-
sibly as the Executive the eminent services of the de-
fenders of its independence and liberty.
.."Our small force of Marines, a very important part
• thearasy, has accomplished important services, and
wiA always achieve the like, if they are placed OR the
footing once before I said they ought to be. Some ob-
stacles have presented themselves in attaining this, but
I have confidence that they will be overcome by the
.wisdom of your laws of organization, and the constancy
of the Executive. The Secretary of Marine will inform
you the use I have made of the authority granted by the
law of the la of July. I hope that the Congress, bring-
ing before them the memorials which the Secretaries of.
Correspondence piesented by my order last Session,
may turn their attention to the object therein described.
They provide abundant matter ior the Repre.entatives
to employ their talents and experience in favour of the
heroic people, our constituents, whose favourable votes
we may be sure of, while we devote ourselves to their
happiness and tranquillity.
" On finishing this picture, I ought to confess that
my heart is full of bitterness to see that I have not been
able to do all the benefit for the Republic which my •
conscience dictates to Me. It is to your talents and your
power. that it is left to all Colombia with prosperity,

UNION-HALL.
Yesterday morning, a man of respectable appearance handed to
the Magistrate a paper, containing the names of several puhlicerr,
and charged them with adulterating their beer with love powders,
and other combustible matters. The persons he had named were
sent for, when the complainant igen said he had drank at one of
their houses the previous evening, and the following mornin6 hz.
felt himself very uncomfortable from its effects. He had not er;.::k
too much, bus he attributed the illness he experience,l to the lore
powders, &e. in the liquor.—. The publicans denied most pothiee:f
that they had used anything of the kind in their porter or liquor,
and that there was no truth in the charge. The Magistrate was of
a similar opinion, and dismissed the complaint.

The following is an extract of a letter from Ole S,ra-
nish Main:—" We understand that the Hyperion car-
ries instructions to the Agents in London of one el the
Independent Governments, for the purchase of vessels
of a large class, for the purpose of coping with the Spa-
nish force expected in those seas."
FATAL ACOIDENTe-.-STIRLING, JUNK 17.—The fol-
lowing particulars regarding the overturning of ti: e
Glasgow and Perth mail have been received from an
authentic source :—On Wednesday the 9th inst. at nine
o'clock, the coach was on its return from Perth, and had
one inside and four outside passengers. As the coach
entered the east end of Crieff, the horses became un-
manageable, and made off. The guard attempted to
throw on the drag, but without success. They accord-
ingly drove through the town at full gzllop, the coac:i-
man quite unable to restrain them : the consequence
Was, that when near Mr. Robertson's inn, the coach was
overturned on the middle of the street, and the pasen-
gers, guard, and coachman, were dashed to the ground.
An inside passenger, Mrs. Fenton, from Leith, but ori-
ginally of Crief, and who had again returned to
'reside there, had her arm broken above and below the
elbow. She is, however, in a fair way of recovery.
John M'Gregor, gamekeeper to Wirliam Stewart, Esq.
of Ardvorlich, and officer to the St. Fillan't Highland
Society, had his skull fractured, and from the quantity
or 'goo," issued from his mouth, it is supposed
he had received some severe contusion from his dirk,
pistols, or powder-horn, when he fell, as he was in full
Highland costume when the accident happened. Un-
fortunately for his wife and family, he died at eleven
o'clock the same night, much regretted by all who knew
him. A Gentleman from Dunfermline, who was sitting
beside the coachman, and who actively assisted to stop
the horses, had his leg much hurt, and his body injured;
but was, in the course of the afternoon, able to resume
his journey in a post-chaise. Peter M,Laren, from
Dalremcb, near Comrie, overseer of Mr. Angus's woods,
had his shoulder dislocated, and his face and knee much
cut, but is now in a fair way of recovery. A young
girl from Perth, going to General Drummol,d's, of
Culdees, received some contusions, but she is also in a
fair we/ of recovery. The guard and coachman re-
ceived some contusions, but not of a nature so sea icus
as to prevent them from resuming their occupations.
One of the horses is since dead.

A RETURNED CONVICT.---The person whd was taken
up in Chelnisfcrd on Friday, the 4th instant, Od suspi-
cion of having in his possession a stolen horse, and who
gave his name as Spring, has been recognised by Mr.
Jousrson, the Governor of Ipswich jail, as 'Thomas
Briggs, who was convicted at Bury Summer Assizes;
1819, of a burglary, at Bramfield, and received sen 4
tence of death, which was commuted to transportation
for seven years. He confesses to have escaped from
New South Wales, and having reached the Sandwich
Islands; he there bartered some fire-arnis for the llea.fs
of the Chieftains which he exhibited. Bs iggs, it ap-
pears, formerly drove a stage waggon from lialeswortii
to London. He is fully committed to take his trial next
