The American Papers advert to a rumour of the pro-
vince of Yucatan being about to separate from the Mexi-
can Confederation; but it is too poor, and too thinly
peopled, to maintain itself as a separate State. The ru-
mour probably originated in a late declaration of the in-
habitants, desiring certain modifications in the Constitution
of the Mexican Republic.
The last deaths that have taken place at Sierra Leone
amongst resident Europeans are those of Mr. Mande-

venanted servants, according to their standing are to be

Hanoverian Bonds at 4 per cent. to the amount of nearly
a million of dollars, were redeemed, and destroyed up to
the close of 1829. The Treasury continues to receive

paid off.

ST. PETEASBURGH, JAN. I.—An Imperial Mani-
festo, published this morning, announces the important
measure of a reduction of the interest of sums borrowed
from the banks of the empire, or placed in those esta-
blishments. The interest on both is reduced one per
cent. so that the debtor of those banks will pay to them
henceforth only five per cent. instead of six, and the
banks will have to pay only four per cent. instead of he,
on the sums deposited in them. Of course the proprie-
tors of the latter will be at full liberty to withdraw them
whenever they please. The repayment of these sums
will not experience any delay whatever.
HAMIBUROH, JAN. 26.—The Elector of Hesse has

punished as guilty of murder; if neither is Idled, both
are to be expelled the service, to be deprived of their
letters of DebiNty, and to be imprisoned in a fortraos for
not less than ten years.—A variety of other regulations
follow, of the severity of which an "ink= may be Mond
from the preceding.

SIDNEY TO THE KING.

LETTER THIRD.

SIRE,

Once more—and possibly for the last time—do
venture to prefer my supplicatory appeal to the FATIILR
Ohio People. Yet a few fleeting hours, and the die of
their destinies will be cast : yet a few fleeting hours, and
your MAJESTY'S subjects will receive the consolations
of promised relief, or the cup of expectation will be dashed
la disappointment from their lips—and then, who knows
what distress and despair will generate ? I tremble for
the disappointment of the people, for they are borne to
*s earth by oppressions, and maddened with their
misery. I have heard their indignant murmurings—l
have heard their curses secretly muttered—even their
loyal affections restrain them not, and their allegiance
hangs by a thread. It is impossible for all this to con-
tinue: the very next turn of the
duce revulsion, and then the sword of civil contention
will forsake the scabbard, and anarchy and revolt dis-
organise and deform the land.
SIRE, this is a dreadful picture, but it is not over-
charged ; the colourings are high, but the delineation
does not exceed the fact. The truth has been too long
concealed. The real sentiments of your MAJESTT'A
people, and the exposure of their unredressed wrongs, have
been too long smothered by artifice, and the voice of
a complaining empire intercepted in its passage to the
throne. Those who have been most callous, heretofore,
and indifferent to the condition of the country, seem now
ready to shrink into themselves at the contemplation of
its terrifying aspect. Is it not high time, then, to
buckle on the armour of moral daring, and to lay bare
the national canker to the state physicians ? Is it not
time that the hideous excrescences engendered by long
mis-government were at length exscinded, and a healthy
action superinduced in the gangrenous political system ?
Alas ! there is but one quarter, SIRE, whence alone re
demption can now be looked for—whence, alone, re-

may pro-

organisation can be invoked.
To my ICING, then, I put up my appeal, in this all-
important and alarming crisis. Upon your MAJ Err v
do your faithful people now call in this hour of peril and
distress, to protect their fortunes, their liberties, their
lives : upon You do they lean—since all other support is
withdrawn from under them—to save the Constitution
and the Crown itself. And shall the pleadings
of your children be made in vain ? Shall a knot of de-
signing and corrupt servants prevail to blunt the sen-
sibilities of your royal bosom, and silence the natural
yearnings of your heart, to the loud cries of your people
for help and deliverance; wantonly and wickedly per-
severing to interpose between your MAJESTY and
your aggrieved subjects—at the risk of bloodshed, and
confusion, and civil ruin? Already, SIRE, have the
signs of the times spoken a language, which it is im-
possible to misconceive : already have they indicated
what must be the fatal upshot, of a dogged persistence in
the present plans of Government: already must they
have contributed to make the enemies of the Constitution
tremble, and the people's oppressors cast about to find a
safe retreat, from the universal ferment which their treason
is on the point of engendering.
Look at the late proceedings at Birmingham ! Con-
template this opening scene of the grand revolutionary
drama, which seems to be on the eve of speedy enactment
in your MA J ESTV'S dominions. Contemplate, Si RE, the
energetic, uncompromising language of the actors in this
scene—consider their numbers, their intelligence, their
opulence—and say if such men are to be lightly regarded:
say if the united determination of such men be not of a
nature to command a SOY ERE ft; les notice and respect -
a SOVEREIGN, whose solemn duty it is, to reign by and
for his People alone ? SIRE, events such as these should
" inform Princes, and teach Senators wisdom." The
ramifications of this grand Constitutional UNIox, insti-
tuted by your loyal subjects of Birmingham, will assur-
edly extend to the uttermost boundaries of your MA-
JESTY'S dominions. No moral power can arrest nor
retard its certain and successful progress : if any Mi-
nister could be animated by so wild a wish, let him look
to the Corn Exchange at Dublin—and despair. If Eng-
land should owe nothing else to O'Cou NELL, his illus-
tration of the prevalence of the federative principle will
command her everlasting gratitude.
It is incontrovertible, then, that the men of Birming-
ham have planted a fruitful vine, in a fruitful vineyard;
a vine which cannot miss to flourish, and in brief season
to bring forth wholesome and regenerating fruit—for it
will be supported by, and will entwine itself round the
pillars of the Constitution—it will be cherished and
warmed by the force of national approbation--and watered
by the all-renovating streams of public opinion. Awake,
therefore, as your MAJESTY MUM now necessarily be to
these undeniable and convincing appearances, will it not
be well to go &foes your People—will it not be well

to prevent their just desires, to accord their constitutional

demands, and by a timely acquiescence evert the
horrors of intestine discord t For, Sm, you may
rest assured that the People are now beginning to
understand their rights, and to feel their own
weal worth and intrinsic power : and if the dole-

gated Authorities are so far gone•in corruption, that
they will not return to the practices of the Consti-
tution. there is a power inherent in the people them-

:kelves—a power derived to them from the Constitution,
and which they are determined to exercise—to set aside
such delegated Authority by reason of its corruption,
and repair the vitiated system as best they may. " Every
Contract"—said the immortal CHARLES Fox-44 must
he at an end, when the contracting parties have no longer
any existence either in their own persons, or by their

representatives. After the tenth of August, the political
existence of Louis XVI. was completely annihilated."
And now, SIRE, I take my leave. In all that I have
said—in all that I have laboured to impress upon your
royal mind—l have no ambition to gratify : except
alone the honourable ambition of contributing to avert
a catastrophe which I see striding onwards, and which
menaces to obliterate in my native land all the
privileges which it enjoys above other nations—ill the
blessings which it inherits, from its ancestral energies and
institutions. Neither have I any private interests to
serve: except alone, that all which I hold dear on earth
is identified with my Country's welfare, and inter-twined
11 itl► her security and happiness !
