CRIVAIRTIMS DAY.--Halliday at the Public Offices.

Irbil evinced its miachievous tendency when carried b.vord

its piper bounds. that it is curfous to reflect upon the
source from whence the Hydra could have regenerated, so
suddenly after the ur.expected overthrow of the modern
truer. To this country, and to this country alone, does

this principle owe its origin. its growth end its
rastarity.

The inviolability of legitimate regal succession *u the
natural refuge of the English from the anarchy and carnage
which ensued from the war of York and Lancaster. It

Ars-timed its first appearance of consistency in the reign of
Henry VII., and was passively acquiesced in, until it was
again tolled in question at the accession of Elisabeth. it
reigned in full force from that period till the glorious
era of Cromwell, when it might have succousbed to the
more rational priocipie of elective magistracy, bat for tLe
ambitious and futile efforts of the Protector to bequeath
the Kingly offs e, as' an heir-loom to his son. By the
justifi .ble expulsion of James 11., and still more by the
election of the House of Hanover to the throne, the doctrine
of legitimacy appeared to have yielded for ever to the
principles of elective monarchy, and the reign of BUOD3t
parte having bad a similar effect is the western regions of
the Continent, it is singular that the principles of psssire
obedience, t.nd of the inviolability of legitimate succession,
should owe their rescscitation to the King of England, a
monarch who si's on the throne solely in violation of those
tory principles.
If perfection were to be attained by the sudden resolu-
tions of Kings, or if truth could be ascertained by autism
sity, it would certainly be desirable to establish the system
of tiovernment most conducivo to human happiness, and
to support it against all assaults and all inquiry; but as
the progress of life is nothing more than a continued in..
provemeot upon preZeding thiories and systems, it is
lamentable to see any age erect itself into a standard of
perfection, decide that a certain polity is the extreme of
wisdom, and determine against all investigation of its
dogmas, and all resistance to its mandates. Such has
been the conduct of all the European Cabinets, since the
battle of Waterloo. The present order of things is ae.
koowledged by the loyal to be extremely wise, and
preferable to that order of things which existed in Europe
a century ago ; but if circumstances had favoured a league
of Sovereigns a century before the Battle of Waterloo, as
should have hail the permanent establishment of the
principles that prevailed in the reign of Luuis XIV.; and
have 10-ot even the present perf. cams of Uoversment, so
much pitied by the !oval.
This combination of Sovereigns against the to 11411 race,
may receive its first shock upon the plaits* of,South America.
'a region which appears destined to be the cradle of liberty.
The European soldiery, whether successful or unsuee
want in the invasion of that country, will
iusbibe from its populace, the principles and
the love of freedom whirls, on their retarn, they will diffuse
amongst their countrymen at home. The doctrines of
legitimacy and of passive obedience ern be thus weakened,
and mankind may be emancipated by one of those iostsnees
of enthusiasm, which, like the religious revolutions olpu.
they orplaho•net, or like the political revolutions of Tamer-
lane, Cromwell or Bonaparte, occasiooaily seise upon man.
kind, and overwhelm all opposition.

By th Paeifie. a vassal which has arrived at Liverpool,
and brought the important intelligence respecting Peru
mercantile %vier have b en received from Buenos Ayres to
the 29th September inclusive, which mention that grest
distress bag been expetienced in the whole of the provinze
of she river Plate, as well as in other parts of the interior,
owing to the extrsordinary drought which has prevailed
for some time. Numbers of cattle were dying daily, and
it was thovelit the losses would he very secere.The rilectsof
this calamity were felt in all other blanches of iodustry,
and as it prevented travelling into the interior, trade was
in consequence very flat. In every other respect, the
affairs at Buenos Ayres were in nearly the sitee quiet and
pr ,snerons state as when the previous advice. came betty.
Captain Wales having left the neighbourhood, the alarm
into which the British vsidehts had been thrown by the
unfortunate dispute which had occurred betwixt the
Government of that republic and the Commander of his
Majesty's naval forces in the River Plate, had entirely
subsided, and the wrist profound tranquillity conseqnentfy
prevailed. Late advicis had bees received there from
Chile, where the inhabitants eontintted to enjoy all the
advantages of equal laws, and of a beneficent system of
Government.
An unusual quantity of specie is weekly entered tir
portation at the Custom House.
Yesterday !naming a waggon heavily laden with silver
was forwarded there for the same purpose by an eminent
capitalist, who has shipped an immense quantity ritir'se
the month. It is, of course, a mere speculation wkether
all this specie is intended for an Austrian, a . French, or a
Spanish Loan. The latter is the favourite presumption
with some people, al hough no circumstance has occurred
o confirm the supposition.
A detachment, consisting of officers and recruits,
