corn. the price of which had materially advanced. It
wa,, in consequence, c.ticu'ated that more wheat would
be sown in the Colony this season than in any preceding
one. The security of the sheep and cattle farmers had
been increased, by the apprehension of most of the
despera.e characters, escaped convicts, who infested the
woods adjoining their pastures, and who not only com-
mitted depredations on their stock, but frequently inur-
&red those who had the custody of th!m. Aggressions
of a s.milar kind appear also not unfrequently to be
perpetrated on the stock-keepers by the natives; but . 4
the.e have very commonly originated in some previous .
provocation. The natives general), are represented as
.s quiet, harmless race of people, and not guilty of acts
of violence, unless previously provoked. The first
Presbyteri4n Church, erected in either Colony, was
opened in Hobart Town on the 12th of September last.
It may be mentioned, as a proof of the progress of the
Colony, that a fourth distillery had been commenced
near to Hobart Town. Oa the whole, the view of the
Colony in general by these accounts is favourable.

FROM THE COURIER FRANCAIS OF MONDAY.
GUS/allay Ann. 4.
Two days ago there arrived here a vessel from Tan-
gier, with English colours, having on board the Consti-
tutionalists Valdez, Frias, and Linares. Being inlormea
that the Government of Morocco Intended to confine
them within the fortress of Arache, and suspecting
that it was with the design of delivering them up to
the Spanish Government, they had taken refuge its the
French Consulate there, and with his consent they had
been conducted by the Consul of his IL itannic Majesty
and the Barbaresque Authorities of the place, to the
English vessel, which has landed them here. The escape
of these three Chiefs of the Constitutional party has
put an end to a negociation, for which some thousand
piastres had been already paid, by the means of Jewish
bankers, in order to have the pleasure of shedding the
blood of some men .whocan no longer do any injury.
It is to be observed in this affair, that the Consul of his
Britannic Majesty at Tangier, before he interfered, came
here and had some conferences with Lord Chath im, and
that it was immediately alter his return to Tangier that
the embarkation of the Constitutionalists took place.
These three unfortunate individuals have been very well
received here, in spite of the remonstrances of the Spa-
nish consul, and their arrival has caused great offence
at Algesiras.
PROM THE JOURNA:I. DES DF.EATS OF MONDAY.
Mariana, APRIL 14.
The King returned yesterday from Toledo to Aran-
juez, and his Majesty has left in garrison in the former
city a regiment of provincial militia, whose presence is
but too necessary to check the spirit of political fanati-
cism which manifested itself during his Majesty's stay
at liciledo, and gives reason to fear all kinds of dangers
from the inhabitants of that city, who are known to en-
tertain liberal opinions. Our Government, which is in
the habit of seeking the remedy of an evil when it is
incurable, seems now to be thinking of investigating the
causes which have produced the insurrection of America, ='
and the be.t means, if not of bringing our ancient Co-
lonies again under the dominion of the mother country,
at least of deriving from them as much advantage as
possible, and in a manner the most compatible with the
present intention of America and the Peninsula : for this
purpose it has called upon all the Generals who have
had commands there since 1810, and all, together, are
to form a Junta. General Davila, now at Cadiz, will
be President. The Junta is to make a report to the
King on the causes which have so decidedly alienated
the minds of the people-from the Government of the
mother country.
The letters which we received to-day from Lisbon,
announce that Sir Charles Stuart meets with great ob-
stacles in persuading the King to acknowledge the in-
dependence of Brazil.
During the stay of the King at Toledo, the Arch-
bishop of the city presented to his Majesty a -SUM of
money, said to be considerable, though the amount is
not stated, for the purpose of relieving the wants of
the State. Prince Maximilian, as they say, has likewise
received presents from the Chapter of Toledo.
The day before yesterday judgment was passed in
the cause of the ex-Minister Cruz. His Excellency was
decla ed innocent on every point of the accusation, and
the tribunal reserves to him the right of instituting
legal proceedings against his calumniators. Messrs.
Aguilard and Llianos, implicated in the same affair,
and also declared innocent, are reinstated in their
honours and employments.

Since the arrival of the last letters from the Ha-
vannah, which are of the 24th February, it is reported
Ithat the General Vives had received very disagreeable
news from Peru ; in consequence of which his Excel-
lency had adopted such rigorous measures that they
had created general discontent at the Havannali, from
which port the frigate Fama was to sail (immediately
for our city.
According to the same letters, there was no notion at
the Havannah of sending from that port the expedition
from Corunna, which had arrived a long time before.
, • The trade of Cuba suffered severely from the Colom-
bian privateers, which the day before the departure of
the letters had captured, in sight of the port, the frigate
La Vigarenna. •

The Catholics have just obtained a complete triumph
in the House of Commons. The Emancipation was
voted by a majority of 27.—There were 514 Members
resent ; the greatest number that ever was present
when the great interest of the Catholics was discussed.
Never was more striking homage given to the Catholic
doctrine, and more retractions head of persons who
had had false notions of the Catholic Faith. Mr. Can-
ning delivered a speech which is worthy of the highest
attention. Though the Catholics had only gained the
advantage of seeing their Faith revenged of all the
false imputations spread in England for
centuries, they should be satisfied.
