anti predilections of mankind were little consulted, seem
likely, however, to become abortive, even in the life-time of
the actors in that notable drama. France has emancipated
barmen from the chains then forged for her ; Belgium has
broken the yoke which united her to Holland ; and last, mil
least, Poland has ventured to assert her independent's,
though encircled by ber robbers, and apparently heanstiselly
sealed by their military hordes. Will the Venetian,Ragemen,
said Genoese Republics be able to rescue themselves from
thi spell of this Royal Congress ?—will Spain recover her
Cortes ?—and will Portugal enjoy the free constitution vir-
tually guaranteed by England ? For France we have nn
fear, and we have no objections to see more republican in-'
Window; incorporated with her Monarchy, if consistent wit hl
her security and tranquillity ;—for Belgium we have no fear,
and we honour the diplomacy, which secured so fine a coon-'
try from the ravages of war ;—and for Poland we have little
to fear, if the Poles are true to themselves, and if in the
field, they justify the reputation of three centuries. The
fate of Venice, Genoa, Lombardy, Spain, and Portugal, we
shall be able to develope with more certainty within the next
three years. Nor do we lose sight of the outrages perpe-
trated on the two honest Kings of Saxony and Denmark ; and I
in their case, as in others, we hope that public justice will I
ultimately triumph over the bayonet.
The radical error which has pervaded, and still pervades, I
all the old governments of Europe, is, that Prime—origin-11
ally military chiefs whose rights were based on night
divided, and subdivided, geographical admeasurements of land,
without reference to the people which were therein contained.
They spoke of ruling countries—they spoke of owning
countries—they spoke of gaining and ceding countries
—and they not only so spoke, but have uniformly so
Wed ; and it requires no oracle to predict, that
IM revolutionary spirit of the present times, will not cease
in its contagious activity, until governments boldly, in
tho front of all their manifestoes and proclamations,
ibelare themselves as acting only by and • for the
people, in the countries they govern. Men are no longer
sheep, to be transferred by the pen they happen to have
been fated to stand in.

CITY. ONE O'CLOCK.

Consols which left off yesterday at 821 I for the Account,
opened at the same price, but soon after reached 821 to 83,
caused by a purchase of one hundred thousand Consols.
In the Foreign Marketlittle or nothing doing.
arr. TWO (TCLOCZ.

Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at
83, are not so good at present, and have receded to 8211
for the account.

In the Foreign Market, it is settling-day in the foreign
funds, and the chief business doing is settling the account,
which, up to the present moment, is going off well. All the
prices are much the same as yesterday.
We have no reports of any description.

THE DUKE OP NEWCASTLE'S RECEPTION AT NEWAILK.
—lt having become known that the Duke of Newcastle in-
tended honouring the town of Newark with his promos at
the Assembly which was advertised for last Friday evening,
a great Rumba. of the 'lower class of the inhabitants anxi-
ously waited Jut the entrance of the Town-hall for his ar-
rival, and so anxious were they to give him a salute that
for fear they should miss him in the darkness of the even-
ing, they prepared upwards of 100 torches, with which they
lawefelly examined every carriage that drove up ;at length
big Grace arrived, and was saluted with a tremendous yell.
from men, woutsaand children, and every opprobrious epithet
which meld be thou& of was called into requisition. k
may be knighted that his Grace did not waste much time is
inquiries after the health and comforts of the mob which sur-
mustieil his enrriigis, but hastened into the gateway, mil
just seise got in one fellow burled a torah at him, which be.
krumatoly mined. Such is one effect of " doing what you
will with your owe."--(Brighten Omens.
