HOLKAR professed to submit entirely to the Mar-

is, every thing was going on as well as he could have
expected, and even with greater rapidi4 than could
have been counted on.

The PEISHWA'S people, we regret to understand,

The following is an Extract of a Letter froth Bue-

guese took possession of Colomadel Sacramento on
the 20th instant, The privateer Independencea de

from this Government to Rio Janeiro, and it is ex-

The following is an extract from anothet letter
froni Buenos Ayres; dated 20th December :—" The
Government have recently called upon the English
Merchants resident here, for a new loan, which has
been complied with, to the extent of between 30 and
40,000 dollars. The Government profess themselves
obliged, by the prompt liberal manner in which their
request was complied with. The money was paid
into the Treasury in the morning following."

The last Havannah Papers received contain an of-
ficial account of the capture of the fort of Coporo,
in the kingdom of New Spain. The dispatch is from
Don JOSEPH JAAIKIN, Marquis DOMILLA, to his
Excellency Don JUAN Rwz DE APODACA, Viceroy
of Mexico, dated December 8, 1817. The fort ap-
pears to have undergone a regular siege, and to have
been taken by assault on the 29th of November.
Prisoners taken, 277; eight pieces of artillery, 236
muskets. The Officers solicited the benefit of
Royal Indulto (pardon) which had been granted to
them.—An official report is also published of the
execution of MINA, addressed by Field Marshal DE
LINAN to the Viceroy APODACA. He was executed
on the 11th of November, after the Marshal had
performed the Viceroy's instructions relative to draw-
ing from him (by the usual Spanish mode, we sup-
pose, of the rack), answers to all the questions di-
rected to be put by his Excellency.

German Papers came to hand late last night, from
which the following are extracts:

WARSAW, MARCH S.

The benefit of a Constitution is now going to be
granted to us. This concession of the Sovereign is
the noblest as well as the most worthy consolation
which he can give us, after so many misfortunes.—
The following is the Act convoking the Diet :

" We, by the Grace of Gon, ALRIANDEF. T. Emperor of
All the Rusaias, King of Poland, &c. &c.

" Make known in general, and in particular, to all whom it
may concern, when we gave a Constitution to our Subjects of
the Kingdom of Poland, our principal object was to secure to
them the benefit of a Aatimust Representation. The first wish of
our heart now is, to make them enjoy the liberties guaranteed
by this Constitution.
" To this end we have resolved, in conformity with the 31st
and 87th Articles of this Constitutional Act, as well as with
Articles 90, 91, and 93 of the Statutes, organising the National
Representation, to convoke the two Chambers in our capital
City of Warsaw. The Diet shall be opened on the 15th (27th)
of March, and close on the 15th (27th) of April. The Deputies
of the Nobility and the Commons shall assemble in our Capital
seven days before the opening of the Diet, to prove to the Senate
the validity of their election. The Senators of our Kingdom of
Poland shall consequently be present in the Capital at that time.
" SC:ATORS END DEPUTIES—Long misfortunes have affected
Poland; dreadful reverses have desolated your country; but
your union with a nation of brethren, a union which is the gua-
rantee of your future existence ; had destroyed the tissue of this
adverse fate, and a Constitution wholly national, beneficerA
laws, and a happy and well regulated liberty, will at length ef-
face the traces of these long calamities.
" The Constitution confides to the wisdom of your delibere-
tions this patriotic work—deposits in your hands the power that
is to create it ! May your love of public good direct the em-
ployment of it ! May this love animate your deliberations ! May
you bani,h from among you the demon of discord, which is
equally fatal to Nations and to Sovereigns ! This wish tends to
your happiness; your sacrifices for the country have inspired it,
and you will certainly not fail to realize it.
" Organs of the law, constitutional guardians of the national
liberties, by your respect for the Constitution committed to your
care, by your zeal fur its consolidation, you will fulfil the im-
portant duties which this solemn appeal imposes on you. Inter-
preters of the public opinion, do you, who are distinguished by
the confidence of your fellow-citizens, be penetrated with the
wants of the country, animated by zeal for its real happiness,
and thus fulfil its expectations.
" We assure you, by these presents of our Royal favour, and
recommend you to the protection of the Acvtou•. v.

The Duke of KENT has taken up his residence in
Kensington Palace.
Lord BINNING is a candidate for Rochester, upon

The story mentioned in the French Papers, of a
Revolution having taken place at Cape Francois,
against the authority of CHRISTOPHE, we presume, is
totally incorrect. We have seen letters from that
place to Bth February, received in town yesterday,
which state that every thing was quiet there.
The American Papers say, that Marshal GROVCIIY,
Generals CLAUSEL, LEPEVRE DESkOUETTES, and
LA LI. E:.IA NDE, have made extensive purchases in the
Mobile country, where they intend to fix their per-
manent residence.
