with public odium, and if that were not suflicient,
the annexing the penalty of traaaportation to a
second offence might justly be expected to load it
with the execration of exory pntlematt or man of
delicacy. W hat, put the writers of paragraphs which
might bring the government of -weak or wicked
Ministers into contempt, uron the footing of cue
purses anti receivers of stolen goods ! Have men
hying well educated and taught to reason upon
their feelings to be so served ? Dare our legislators
attempt to work in th:s manner upon British ma-
terials

Mr. lloattouse's manly conduct saved Master
Ctlt'RTI\AY (he is a Master in Chancery) much
trouble in the way of expatiation and impugnation,
by confessing himself the writer of the offensive
pamphlet. As the imprisonment can only continuo
•c. mite curia, the friends of Mr. Howtousz, pod
those who view the conduct of the Members of the
Home of Commons in the tight that arm and un-
daunted Reformer does, will be sorry• its Session is
not nearly closed.

It is impossible not to feel a portion of ample-
cency of mind at the Amendment which was made
last night to the Traver** Bill, by the Loan
CHANCELLOR. It is proposed that, after an inlbr-
station shall have been Bled twelve months, if the
ATTORNEY-GENERAL shall not proceed to trial ;
the prosecuting party after twenty days' notice to
the latter, may move the Court in order to bring
on the trial, and if the Law °Meer of the Crown
shall nct show good cause of postponement, and
shall abandon the suit altogether, the defendant
shall hare hir coats. This latter condition of the
I proceeding :s as good as it is new.

A Meeting of Merchants wits held on Saturday in

A marriage is talked of between the Archduke

The French journals are •ery barren of import-
ant intelligence. and their edit..irs seek to give their
render. :1 pun on Cotirtature, to entertain theta
when that is the ease. They played a little time

It is •aid by many that the RAptc*Le are to be
blamed for the WHICS having done so little in the
c►usc of Reform: the Whigs on their part defend
themselves by saying that they are ready to exert
themselve; iii this hour of pe:A, by building new
buttresses to the temple of liberty, but that the in-
temperane.• end rage of the radicals will blow the
whole up with gunpowder!! We are sorry these
ideas prevail among persons who cannot be indif
ferent to the fate of their tir.',appy and abused
country. Let the Whigs begin the work then in
earnest, for nothiug will be more likely to allay
that rage which these roasoners anticipate and de-
precate.

A prisate letter from Frankfort says, it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether Bavaria will send Minis-
ters to the Congress to oppose the Resolutions
adopted at Carlsbad, being contrary to the Bava-
rian Constitution.

The Quolidienne says—" It was remarked, that
only one Deputy rose to support the admission of
the virtuous M. GIULDOIRE in the Chamber of De-
puties; happily for our national honour, this De-
puty was not a Frenchman."
