In leld or cabinet, whose thundering fall
Shook the slaved world—but not to leave it free !

And trooped like wolves to slake their jaws in gores
From far they spring upon their parcelled prey.
And war upon mankind, as kind 'seer warred before.

One of the most deprecable consequences entailed
upon Europe, by the confederacy of Kings to put down
NAPOLEON, was the continuation of this confederacy
afterwards to keep down its rising liberties, under the
. name of the Holy Alliance. It is true, several of the
original projectors and members of that august frater-
nity have passed from the scene of their operations, and
thus humanity—from time to time—has been partially
relieved : but they have shown to posterity the power of
such an iniquitous compact, and the secret by which after
despots may continue to oppress the world. In the
event of a revolution at this conjuncture in France, we
are of opinion that her fatal and fated Royal Family
would go ; for the dynasty has been long effete, and the
seeds of regeneration are dead within it. But we do
not think that the Constitutional Monarchy would be
overturned. The terrible examples of the past have
taught the nation, though its recollections appear
to be worse than inoperative upon the scarred and
afflicted family. The abeat in malam rem shall,
nevertheless, not come from U 8: on the contrary,
we should hail its falsification of our fears, by its adoption
of a line of moderation and wisdom. The tone of the
French liberal Journals is assuming an acrimony
against this country, which leads to the belief that
a war with England would not he unpopular there ;
and if any convulsion—occasioned by these ex-
treme appointments—dissolve the Government, we do
not think that war would be avoided. This is a dis-
comforting perspective for Ministers, standing :as they
do with the country, which they have rendered so dis-
satisfied by their perfidious foreign system ; and standing
as they do, relatively to the debt and taxes, which are
about to cause them great and immediate embarrassment.
The young Queen of PORTUGAL—whom they acknow-
ledged—is going back to her Imperial Father, an
example of the double-dealing diplomacy of England,
without a parallel in political cowardice and crime. The
Noble Earl, and the sonnetteering Viscount, were an over-
match for Don PEDRO, crippled with a war on his frontier,
and threatened with rebellion at home. But the departure of
Donna MARIA will advantage nothing to the cause of the
Usurper, who—when he most calculates on recognition—is
perhaps on the brink of dethronement. It is now posi-
tively asserted, that the Noble Duke is determined never
to stain his character by acquiescing in this unjust ac-
knowledgment.

Letters from Saint Michael's to the 3d of August have
arrived in town, and they state that—up to that period—
no attempt has been made against Terceira.

. Consols opened this morning at the price they left off yesterday,
814, buyer.; and at present they are 8141, and for seat Account,
IN/. The business doing is of minor importance.
Up to the present time we have no further news from the East.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing. Prices remain as yes-
terday.
CITY. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.
Up to the present time we have no further imformation to com-
municate from the East, but according to the speculations of the
Hebrews, who still continue to purchase in Consols, there can be
no doubt that they are in possession of some important event from
the theatre of war. Either negotiations or an armistice are on the
tapis, in consequence of which Consols continue improving from
the price in the early part of the morning, when they were 88i,
date which they were done at 11111, and are now 884, and for nest
Account Mil.
In the Foreign Market nothing doin

We hear that a misunderstanding prevails between the
Brazilian Agent here and tha contractors of the Brazil
Loan, owing to which of the parties are to pay the ex-
penses of the QUEEN of the BRAZILS journey to Brazil,
which is said will amount to 50 or 60,0001. owing to her
very numerous suite, which consists of 50 persons.
The foreign arrivals this day are few, and of little in-
terest. A ship of war has arrived from St. Michaels; but
the information she brings has not as yet transpired.
The French Papers has the following—" The affairs
of Buenos Ayres excite great interest and anxiety
in our sea ports ; and the Journal du Havre says—
' that we are not content with intestine divisions,
but the fire-brand must be lighted abroad to create
fresh troubles.' A Consul maladroit, has caused a
blockade of Algiers for three years, and before which we
are humbled to-day. Another Consul has caused to be
burnt the Buenos Ayreau ships, and there can be no
longer a doubt of the rigorous conduct of our fleet at
Monte Video in regard to the ships of the Plate. This
event will have an unfavourable result for our commerce,
and should the French Government hereafter condemn
M. MANDEVILLE for his actions, they must make repa-
rations to Buenos Ayres. Still their hatred will not
subside for a long time to come. And if, on the con-
trary, the conduct of MANDEVILLE is approved of by
our Government, Buenos Ayres may be burnt to the
ground, and its inhabitants take refuge in the mcuntains,
and our commerce with the Plate, which is profitable,
will be entirely lost to us."
Adrianople, before which the Russians are most pro-
bably now encamped, is 82 English miles from Constan-
tinople. The country between the two cities is flat ; but
there are no roads. Allowing the march of the Russians
to be at the rate of 10 miles a-day, in eight days they
can be at Constantinople It is next to certain that the
Turks cannot stop their progress for one hour.
In the Protectors of Slaves' Report, recently printed
by order of Parliament, there are returns of the offences committed
by the plantation slaves in the different colonies, the number of
offenders, Stc. The various offences are enumerated. The fol-
lowing are some of the heads under which the numbers are classed :
—" Spitting in overseer's face;" "breaking out of hospitals,
stocks, &c.;' " mutinous conduct, defying manager ;" "seditious
conduct, instigating others to neglect of duty;" " holding clan-
destine meetings at night ;" " contemptuous language and beha-
viour ;" " quarrelling and insubordinate conduct ; " beating and
111-treating parents ;" " neglecting children ;" " biting others ;"
"Introducing ruin on estate;" " seducing and attempting to se-
duce other men's wives ." a infidelity to husbands ; " fornica-
tion ;" " dancing and carousing on estate without leave ;" " toting
days" " practising Obeah ;" " found with gunpowder, and ming
it in a dangerous manner ;" " cruelty to animals," 'cc.
Judging from a passage in a speech delivered by the
late Proidsat of the [hilted States to Congress. the American
Gammon' win doubtless interfere, should the troops of hue-
SAID longs Manion. or any other of the South MIMIC= lips; and, &gram if the espedkiou intended to sail *oat the
Havasaah should proceed to ha desdaation, it will came a 'rapture
between. the Milted States and Spain. To the neat if a war
between the two owsettisl. the Americans would ittevitably de-
stroy the Spasishillisi, sad expose the invading army to destraetioa.
