Whereas, by the sixth section of an Act of Congress,
entitled "An Act to regulate the Commercial Intercourse
between the United States and certain British Colonial
Ports," which was approved on the first day of March, in
the year of our Lotto 182 S, it is enacted, " That this
Act, unless repealed, altered, or amended by Congress,
shill be and continue in force so long as the above enu-
merated Britist Colonial P.rts shall be open to the admis•
:ion of the vessels of the United Stares, conformably to
the provisions of the British Act of Parliament, of the
tweptrfourth ofJune last, being the forty-fourth chapter
of the Acts of the third year of George the Fourth. Bat
if at any time the trade and intercourse between the
United States and all or any of the above enumerated
British colonial pouts, authorised by the said Act of Par-
liament, should be prohibited by a British Order in
Council, or by Act of Parliament, then, from the day of
the date of such Order in Council or Act of Parliament,
or from the time that the same shall commence to be in
force, Proclamation to that effect having been made by
the President of the United Stays, each and every pro.
vision of this Act, so fat as the same shall apply to the
interc?nrse between the United States and the above
enumerated British colonial ports, in British vessels,
shall cease to operate in their favour; and each and
every provision of the Act concerning Navigation,'
approved on the eighteenth of Apia, one thousand eight
hundred and eighteen, and of the Act supplementary
thereto, approved ootbe fifteenth of May, one thousand

The citizens and speculators are greatly disappointed this mong

well as' by the silence ef the Gazette of last night. This has
tensed& general stagnation in the Consol market. Consols opened

quoted at 831 for May, with no business doing up to the present

_ The Marquis of LANSDOWN did not arrive in town
last night, as was expected. An express was sent off to
his Lot dship last night, and, until his arrival, everything
Must remain in suspense. In the Government Offices
nothing is suffered to transpire of course; but notwith-
standing the impenetrable mystery observed there,
yet, as there are some circumstances, which can—
not be concealed, it is quite evident that the nego
ciation is still pending, though, under what aupices,
we shall not venture to say. The Catholic Ques-
tion; as we stated on Monday last, appears to be
the great stumbling-block; and, if what has been
published by the friends of the Noble Marquis on the
subject be correct, we have no hesitation to say, that
the course he is said to urge, has a greater tendency to
frustrate, than promote, the success of that question,
The making k a Cabinet question would only con-
fir rn antipathies where they now exist, and be a
signal to its opponents, lest it should be suspected
that they formed their opinions from a base ie.
wrest, and not upon principle, to make a funs
stand against this Government whenever the let*.
brought it forward: It is true, the Dew Minister", by
thus exposing themselves to almost certain defeat,
ould have an opportunity of sealing their attachment
to the cause; but it would be a triumph, which no wise
Tan, much less a practical statesman, ought to envy.
In a!miziog the consistency of the Noble Marquis, we do
ri:,t certainly admire his practical views in this instance;
and though we should rejoice to see him join Mr. CA si.
r. G'S Administration, we think now, as we have always
ught, th at his a ccession would be too dearly purchased
AZ I he terms, which, it is said, he insists upon as a sime furl
rev/. There are many substantial reasons why the question
11-tild remain as heretofore an open one; and its best
hiends,if they judged dispassionately, would be of our
i•iniOn: Ilf the opposite course were to be adopted, it
ight be the means of not only postponing to an lade.
fi..ite period the carrying. of this great question, bat of
weakening, perhaps upsetting, before it should be a year
the most popular Administration that has existed
in this country since the demise of Gamma 11. As
.
ri do not wish to risk this last contingency, we say, let
isise Catholic Qoestion remain, in GOD'S name, as it is,
though it may entirely defeat the negociation,for securing
e accession of the Noble Marquis to the Cabinet; and
e are sure his Lordship, when he has time to reflect,
concur himself in the propriety of what we have
said. If we judge rightly of the motives, by which his
conduct has been hitherto guided, we are sate he
ril capetience.no other feeling, in the event of the ne-

sedation being unexpectedly broken off a second time
but regret', that his notions of consist:limey upeathi;
one epeothas; djd not Blow him KAI no Administra•
tionowith *hick he cons sin every Mil respect.
STAR OFFICE, Tears otiodc.

"Though the most conflicting reports have preval!.ecli
the whole of this morning, we can mention one thing
as certain, that the negotiations are not yet Isioken ofL
We have also ascertained that Mr. SCARLITT 111Ip•
pointed. Attorney-General, Sir N.Trener. having, in the
handsomest manner, consented to retain his present
situation as Solicitor-General.

Amongst the on-dita of the day is, that Lord FAIN.
Dorman, in the event of the negotiation with Lord
LANSDOWN failing, is to take the Home Department,
and that Sir J. LEACH is to be Mastic of the Rolls
with a Peerage.

We received this morning the Algemeine Zeitung to
the 18th inst. It contains an extract from the Oriental
Spectator of the 9th March, according to which, the
Austrian Internuncio at Constantinople had officially
declared to the Porte that his Government did not think
itself called upon to require concessions in favour of
the Greeks, and that it would therefore take no part in
any negotiations which might have the character of an
interference in the affairs of Greece. It is added, that
the Ambassador of another great Power had not indeed
made v formal declaration, but had recently assumed a
reserved and temporising tone, of which the result would
be nearly the same as that of the Austrian declaration.
If these accounts be true. fdr which the Spectator,
however, does not pledge itself, the settlement of the
affairs of Greece may be still distant, and we may see
the war in the Morea recommence with increased acti-
vity in the ensuing summer. -From other sources of
information it would appear, that the Turkish prepara-
tions for opening the next campaign are upon an
unusual scale of magnitude. As a set-off against
these extraordinary preparations, we may mention
the arrival of Lord COCHRANE at the seat of the
Greek Government ; and we hope his Lordship
will, more than counterbalance any additional efforts
the Turks may be capable of making. 'As to the
new proof which-Austria is stated to have given of her
aversion to Greek independence, backed, as it stated to
be, by the covert hostility of another great Power (whe-
ther France or Prussia be meant we do not know), it
will have no other influence on the final destinies of
Greece, than that of confirming-the Porte in its infatu-
ated policy. But, as Englaad will scion interfere more
decidedly, as well as heartily, in favour of the Greeks,
we do not despair of, yet seeing the Turkish Govern-
ment abandon its present course of policy for one morel
congenial to its own interests, and more consistent at,
the same time with the rights of humanity.
We see, from an article under the heed Coblentz,
that the Prussian. Government is still intent on assimi-
feting legal and judicial proceedings in the Rhenish
provinces to those of tbe -rest of the Monarchy. Though
e Prussian Code is confessedly good,, yet the inhabit-
ants of the Rhine, who are satisfied, and justly satisfied,
with the system under which their persons and property
have been secured for the last twenty years, would
readily dispense with the intended favour.

The Paris Papers arrived last night in due course;
but they coutain:bo news of particular interest, except
that of the arrival, as above mentioned, of Lord
COCHRANII in Greece, where it produced, it is said, the'
greatest demonstrations of joy, as well as an immediate
extinction of domestic feuds, from the prevalence of
which that country had suffered more than from the
sword of the enemy. It is also stated that he instantly
took measures for rooting out another plague spot—we
mean the piratical proceedings of which so many com-
p•aints have been heard.

Vice• Admiral Sir HAftny BURRAHD NKALE, Bart.
arrived this forenoon at the Admiralty, from his
command in the Mediterranean. . . .

The Gazette of last night contains the elevation of
Sir JOHN COPLEY to the Peerage, by the style and title
of Baron LYNDHURST, of Lyndhurst, in the county of,
Southampton. His Lordship's further elevation, to they
office of Lord Chancellor, is not gazetted, as was ex-I
pected to be the case ; and it is probable that none of
the offices will appear in the Gazette until the whole
, be completed.
Mr. PLUNKETT, itis said, has declined the office of
Master of the He will take his seat, however,
in the House of Peers, and give the weight Of his great
talents to the Government of Mr. CANNING.

question of intercourse between the United States and

anal of an extensive volume of smoke issuing front various parts of

Numbers of people continue to emigrate. On Wed-
