and other French citizens, who had been wan ar;„,;.

Judges—the formal engagement not to suffer a..

these demands will be complied with.
In the same paper (Le Journal des Debals) it 1,
stated that letters from Semlin represent, that tli:‘
Pacha of Scutari had succeeded in assemblin;
part of his dispersed troops, and had taken up
strong position on the frontiers of Bosnia,

We are glad to observe that Alderman
sox has arrived at Merthyr Tydvil. He is a sei.-
sible and liberal man, and not likely to eider Mt.)
the views of the Aristocracy, or to yield to thtu
narrow practices. Compromise and justice sholld,
in all these cases, precede the sword and the
musket. If nolo'. As had not played the Aristo.
crat, ho would not now have to lament the loss of
his armies, and his reputation in Poland. In ail
such affairs, an ounce of liberality effects far more
than a ton of gunpowder; or, in the more homely
phrase, a spoonful of oil goes further than a quart
of vinegar. It is not to be concealed, that PeZi
Bill, and legislative pride and ignorance on mou-
tary questions, have produced evils unbearable on
all species of industry, and especially on labour,
which has no shift or alternative. A new course
of policy, and the substitution of practical wisdom
for aristocratical theory, must be pursued, howevei
difficult the concession may be to the pride of
power.

We observe that Admiral Sir Robert Stopford
is appointed to the Older of tho Bat h, in the
room of Lord Northesk, deceased.

The Consol Market has become extremely agi-
tated, the effect chiefly of the alleged recal of Lord
Ponsonby from Belgium, with a confirmation of the
reports of the refusal of Prince Leopold to ascend
the throne of Belgium. The disturbances in South
Wales have likewise tended to remove confidence,
and the funds have fallen 1 per cent. on the high-
est prices of yesterday, with indications of a more
serious depression : this, too, without any thing
being done by the more influential portion of the
speculators to create a rally.
Montreal papers to the sth May, and Quebec to
the 3d May, have been received at the N. and S.
American Coffee-house. The former state, that
nearly 600 settlers have already arrived in the port
of Quebec, principally in the Airly Castle, from
Bristol, and in the Euphrozene, from Bridgewater,
Iwhich brought about 510 souls, almost entirely fa-
milies from Wiltshire and Somertetshire. These
people had the advantage of a very short passage,
and they were generally healthy.
Accounts from Maracaibo state that place to be
tranquil, but the scarcity of money was very great.
The Quebeck Paper states, that his Excellency
Lord Aylmer will visit the upper parts of the pro-
vince, about the middle of the month. Lady
Aylmer will accompany him to Montreal.
The Antigua Free Press states, of the 7th April,
that another week has passed in safety and tran-
quillity ; and some confidence was felt for the
future. The country negroes were engaged in
work.

Posted at the North and South American Coffee
House:—Falmouth, June 6.-1 beg to inform you
that a gentleman arrived here this morning, by a
pilot boat, from Rio, and brought news concerning
the English merchants there. He says there has been
a disturbance which has terminated considerably in
favour of the merchants. The gentleman, I expect.
will leave this for London, per evening mail.
The Senate and Assembly of the State of New
York, on the 26th of April last, passed an act to
abolish imprisonment for debt, and to punish all
fraudulent debtors. Its advantages are not, how-
ever, to extend to the following persons and cases :
" To any person who shall not have been a resident
of the State, for at least one month previous to the
commencement of a suit against him ; nor to pro-
ceedings as for contempts to enforce civil remedies ;
nor to actions for fines or penalties, or on promises
to marry, or for moneys collected by any public
officer, or for any misconduct or neglect is office,
or in any professional employment."
LI v ERPOOL, JUNE 6.—The sales in British
Plantation Sugar amount to about 1,000 hhcls, and
prices keep steady ; though the market, upon tlec
whole, continued heavy. The demand for cotton
throughout the week has been steady, and prices
fully supportedr Pine timber has been very dull
for some time past, and the country demand Lot
extensive. A considerable quantity has bc(n
taken out of the market, at very low prices ; and it
seems to be the general opinion, that the a: title
has seen its lowest depression.

The Right Hon. M. Fitzgerald, late member for
Kerry, has been offered a borough, but declined
accepting it. The hon. gentleman, it is believed.
has made up his mind to spend the remainder of bin
days in private life.
