2'UESDAY MORNING, MARCH.I7,. 1835. '

By the Catherine, Captain Busy, we have Demerara
papers to the 30thlanuary ; but they da uot contain any
intelligence different from that which we.gave on Triday
last.

We refer'tbe reader to some very important
,and
alarming accounts from the Cape of Good. Hope, which
will be found elsewhere.

•
, The latest' adpices from New: York are to the 25th
February, •The citizens had received intelligence, direct
from Havre, of-the recall :of the French ambassador, and
the offer of passports to• Mr. IAVINGSTOIq, and it..had
created ,considerable excitement. By the last accounts
-from Washington the House of Representatives had
come to •no 'decision the president's message ; but
the subject had been. set down. for Aliscuision on the 20th
February. Congress was- to,- terminate its session on
the 3d of:-the-present month, so.thatdittle time remained
for considering: the question Of peace or war. The pro-
bability is that:the house will adjourn without expressing
any opinion further than its determination to support the
chief magistrate in maintaining the honour and intel
rests of the union. :The' Americans themselves are not
sanguine that France will pay the five millions of dol-
lars,
and they do -not appear to think that their own-
government will attempt to compel„payment by hostile
means. .The' following letter .from Washington, dated
the 19th February, takes a sensible view of the matter:--
"It is said that a very important debate may be expected
arising out of a report which will be made by the committee on
foreign affairs to-morrow, on the correspondence,of Mr. Living-
ston, which was referred to the..conaraittee on Saturday', the ith
inst. The committee, it is said, had much difficulty in coming
to an agreement concerning the, :report. Mr. Canibreleng has
been told in committee that he must not expect to carry his war
projects through the house without a hard struggle. Perhaps,
however, the tone; of the French papers may have made them
more harmonious. On the President it is said to have had a-
prodigious effect; throwing him into a paroxysm of rage, when
he came to that part in which he is called au arrogant logician
and self-Willed chief. I presume he considers this editorial abuse
of him sufficient cause of war, if cause sufficient existed riost be-
fore. It was supposed that a communication would be made
to congress to-day, as it is understood that the President re-
ceiveddespatches from Mr. Livingston ,yesterday.. Nothing,
however, has been sent.in, so conflicting are the rumours .that
all is doubt concerning the. result of the present condition. of
things. ' It is thought- by-many that nothing will be done
before the adjouinment.of congress,.and that if the President
should desire any legislative action in consequence of the ac-
counts lie may receive from France, he will have to convene
congress in' the Summer."

We have receivedJainaica papers to the 4th February'.
Lord &too had addressed a string of questions, fifty-four
in number, to various gentlemen in the colony in order
to procure information as to the real state of the negro
population. The. new police bill appears to work well;
but we regret to observe. that something like dissatisfac-
tion has already begun to show itself, among the new
German emigrants. Mr. MYERS, who had imported a
considerable number of these , labourers, had ..applied to
the commissioners'of accounts for the stipulated compen-
sation per head with what success•the following details
will show :
" A petition was presented from Mr,,Myers, stating that he
had,' at the request of .several influential proprietors, imported
into this island, from Upper Germany, in lamilies, 508 agricul-
tural labourers, who are to be 'located in various parts. of the
island, and praying the. order of the board to the receiver-gene-
ral, for the bounty of £l5 per capita, so liberally provided by
the House of. Assembly. The.hoard, taking into consideration
the zeal and activity shown by Al r.. Myers. in his endeavours to
benefit the country, unanimously ooncurreili with theAmieption

.a Mr. Jordan, in granting the prayer of the petition, which
enables Mr. Myers to meet his engagement with the captain,
for the passage money of the emigrants, amounting to no less a
itun than £3500 sterling, besides port. charges, &c., which will
leave Mr. Myers a loser by his patriotic exertions of £338
currency, a sum which we feel assured will be reimbursed by
the House of Assembly at its next meeting. The conduct of
Nit-. Myers, and his patriotic endeavours to benefit the land of
his adoption by the introduction of a race of hardy, intelligent,
tad industrious labourers cannot, we again repeat, be too highly
applauded. He is not what is termed a rich man, but he cheer-
fully embarked his all for the benefit of nis countrymen, by
removing them from a land of tyranny and oppression to a
country where, by their own exertions, they will be placed be-
yond thp possibility of want, under a government where the
life and liberty of the subject are preserved by mild and
benignant laws. _ _ .

" the following distribution of the emigrants, we are happy
to state, is so judicious, and their comforts will in consequence
1)e so well attended to, that we have no doubt we shall have
thousands of other Europeans locating themselves irr the moun-
tainous districts of the island.

" Mr. Watt, of Montego Bay, in the promptest manner came
to town to meet his newly-arrived apprentices, and ordered his
fine brig, the Friendship, to proceed to Port Royal with all
possible despatch, to convey them to his domain ; and one
hundred and fifty, in families, will be shipped this morning for
St. Elizabeth's.

" Mr. Hamilton Brown was equally prompt in repairing to
town for the same purpose, and has engaged a vessel to carry
150 for his own estates ►n St. Ann's, and 45 on account of Jas.
%L. Hilton, Esq., to Dry Harbour, which is within a few miles
of their future residence, in the most delightful climate in the
world. Mr. Samuel Anderson, of Montego Bay. has also en-
gaged to locate auout twenty. Mr. Myers himself has secured
the services of about thirty. Dr. Spald►ng and sonic other gen-
tlemen have undertaken to prov►de for about one hundred and
twenty; thus distributing our newly-arrived strangers on the
estates of gentlemen of wealth,' cons►deration, and humanity ;
and we feel perfectly assured that the provision which will be
made for them will render the new situat►on of these emigrants
comfortable, and lay the foundation of a source of future wealth
and security to the ►sland. The success of Mr. Myers' plan has
induced other gentlemen to exert their local influence in the
united kingdom; and we are happy to state that thousands may
be looked for in the course of the year."
A remarkable phenomenon had occurred in Kingston and
most parts of the island, on the 29th January, indicative,
by all appearance, of some volcanic eruption in one or
other of the islands near Jamaica. It is described as
follows :-- .

""We alladed yeaterday to the extraordinary appearance M
Jetriiiitdderable quantity of very fine dust which covered the
furniture in every part of the city. The particles of this "dust;"
or rather cinders are so extremely soft and minute, thabit was
considered to be the effect of a strong sea breeze then prevailing,
and acting upon our street. We received letters from various
parts of the island, containing some samples of this pher.ocrie-
non, which does not vary in its appearance, and exactly cor-
responds with what was collected on board of sevenl vessels in
this harbour. The nearest volcano to this island is that Hof
Guadeloupe, which was fiercely agitated the day after the erup-
tion at the Souffriere in the island of St. Vincent, in 1812. A
few days will, at all events, solve this mystery, and put us ill
possession of a knowledge of the spot front whence this dread-
ful warning issued. The following letter is from a most intelli-
gent gentleman of the parish ofSt. George, in the northein
part of the island, which clearly manifests that the explosion
must have taken place to windward.
" Mr. EDITOR,—My neighbolirs and self have been at a loss
to account for a kind of dust which was seen about the houses
and fields; it was obseved on Saturday last. My notice was
attracted by seeing my tables covered with dust, which surprised
because,l remembered we were visited.almOst every night,
and some days, with smart showers of rain. I was led to in-
quire of my neighbours if they could account for it; and. to
.my surprise, theralsd noticed the sante thing, which I at first
anticipated was the common doSt yonKingstonians are used to
see on your furniture, when the carts are passing by Your doors.
However, on passing through my cocoa-piece on Monday. 1
there saw a great deal of this dust settled on the leafs of the
trees; on examination, I find it is of a very fine nature, and, I
think, much "impregnated with sulphuric matter. 1 send you
a little of it for inspection. I am satisfied you will shortly
hear of some eruption, which hai broken forth not very far
from us—no doubt in the Windward Island.'
" St. Georges, January 21, 1835.

• Someanen hate their enemies, perhaps upon a princi-
.
pie of reciprocity ; but it is peculiar to the nature of an
Irish papist never to forgive his friends. Mr. SHEIL'S
motion in the House of •Commons on Friday last is a
proof of this. Lord LONDONDERRY was one of those
liberal tories who reposed the most unbounded confidence
in the Roman. Catholics of Ireland, invariably favoured,
and ultimately carried their admission into the British
Parliament. This .we believe to be the reason why the
noble marquis is so frequently honoured with the vitupe-
ration and the abuse ofsuch persons as RICHARD SHELL and
DANIEL O'CONNELL. It is a singular fact that the men
whom the papist.members for Ireland have most fiercely
attacked are those to whotn.they owe the greatest favours.
,Their.malignity.seems to be in the, ratio Of ,their obliga-
tions. 'Other men `have -a sense of
.gratitude, and the
consciousness that -they Are indebted. to certain parties
fur the honours .or privileges they .enjoy softens the
acerbity of political warfare And imposes silence whore
commendation cannot consistently be awarded. But the
papists of Ireland are :a class sui generic. • They • hate
-most bitterly those who have served them most faithfully,
and they appear to take the greatest pleasure in malign-
ing and injuring their friends.
For these humiliating if not disgusting reasons, so
germane to the character of a popish demagogue, we are
not surprised at Mr. &MIL'S attack upon,Lord LONDON-
DERRY in reference to the noble marquis's appointment
as ambassador to the court of St. Petersburgb..When was
it, that papists ever spared any one of the individuals who
took an active part in removing their disabilities? Who
was, a more energetic; advocate , of what were called the
Roman Catholic claims than the Knight of Kerry?
From his earliest years, And :during his whole career as
a public man
,and a member of parlianient, did Mr.
FITZGERALD. favour the admissibility of the, excluded
Roman Catholics. iAt length—in an evil hour we say,--
these claims were conceded, and the very first act of the
emancipated parties was to turn round upon their friends,
load them ,with execrations, and exclude, them from the
representation of Ireland. Witness for us the case of
Mr::SPRING RICE. ...lie too. was one of their leading and
inostconsistent advocates. :He pleaded their cause for
years; he was their eulogist and friend; he prornised.us
their gratitude;
,he was a guarantee* for their loyalty; '
assured us that emancipation would heal all the wounds
Of Ireland,..and that it would give peace and repose, and
pnt an end to all the'feuds, grievances, and insuberdina-,
tion of the Roman Catholic population.
Weof the minority, on that occassion did, not.,believe
him.' We had • no. confidence in such assurances. We
saw,nothing,r.bot danger, ,folly, ,and a, revival of discord
in 'the bill of emancipation. We predicted that it would
prove a.curse to the British empire, and that it would
give power to a faction who would be more than ever the
most unrelenting enemies of 'England—the civil institu.:
Lions, .and the protestantreligion of England. ,We were
on.that occasion set down as illiberal and narrow-minded
persons. 'The paltry slave who knelt before a grovelling
Priest, and counted his heads before.an image of the vir
,gin;:called us bigots ! large family of . English
.SHALLRWS;- and' -the tapeworms of literature among the
whiks; ieproathed•us,witti ignorance, ! Blockheads who
called history. An-" old almanac," and whose readingne-
.
,v,erencompassed, any work. beyond Robinson crape, pr
the equally. popular and more characteristic fiction of the
-Forty Thieves, attributed our opposition to prejudice,
.and in the cant of :the; day they asserted, in a Sneering
-tone of upstart affectation, that we were totally behind
and conld.not appreciate the " spirit of the age."
We were beaten, not by the people.of England, but by
-the quacks of the day, by :the worthy representatives of
rotten boroughs, and by tories " acting upon whig
'ciples." Being beaten• by an overwhelming force, we
had.no alternative but try. submit to the terms imposed
• uport.Usby the. courtesy of the " honours of war." But
the:mind is not,,or rather cannot be, placed in subjection
to the same extent as'the body. We waited the- result
in silence. What was it? Why, the Roman Catholics
of Ireland, took. the very first; opportunity. to, discard from
the representation the very men who had been their most
steady and unflinching advocates. 'Mr. 'SPRING RICE
was driven from Limerick. Sir Hiway. PARNELL was,
expatriated. Mr. SHAW lost Dublin... Mr. FITZGERALD
was ejected front Kerry. The.GßarraNs were beaten,
and there would be no member• of the family in- parlia-
ment at-this hour if he were to disobey the slavish c.oun-
sels of O'CONNELL. Even at the last . election:, the
Knight of. Kerry was marked out for assassination by the
very demagogue whom he had
l".death's
e contributeda t,s
heatod, to
the-House of Commons. The
..be placed over the door of every man who voted for him.
A short 'life here below, and a long one in the lower
;regions, was to be the doom of the wretch who gave leis
vote for the protestant candidate--for: the man, who had
opened the door for. O'CONNELL,. uILL
Sz and the igno-
I minions. tail of rebels,and slaves.

Now is our riddle read? It is a key to the rancorpus
invectives heaped upon Lord LONDONDERRY by the
.honourable member for. Tipperary, on Friday last. Had
he noble marquis never conferred any favour upon the
papists of Ireland,. Mr. SHELL would have been less vin-
dictive. Let those, therefore, who now suffer for past
