time, the difficulty will create in the public mind
much additional want of cnefidence and anxiety.—
Mr. VANSITTART will have enoogh on his hands,
end the speculators in 'spitted leans may, without
great caution, have to repay out of their engagements
of this year, seine part of the enormous gains which
they have reaped under the administration of the
present CUANCELLOK of the Excumtuaa."
The man 'eternal then apostrophises naturally
h in the following words:—" With a falling
Revenue, the necessity of still further restricting t►e
paper currency, and greater commercial sad maim-
factoring distress than has ever been *embraced, the
prospect is, Indeed, not very cheering for the
ntently."

The 'deem of the Palms we are glad to see cr-
eepy so much of the attention of the French lugisla•
tors. If tbe principle of it be inverted in their
hearts, it will ►e of little conseqoence whether every
contingency which may porsibly occur should be
provid►d for or guarded against. Like our Coo-
stitution, which is me where in be found, never-
theless is well understood. Would it were as holiest-
ly practised spot. !!! It gives us, however, per.
dealer ;Arrester* ro eb.erve how guardedly the phi-
losophic pe►t •f the Chamber of Deputies, keep
the topic clear of religion. " Church and Stele"
has ever been the cry of bigots, or besotted, or IT
not of that description, of lintel and cot rapt men,
to work their base purposes. What • reformation
is here witnessed in a nation such as France was
half a century ago.
To beer the Kt I.IMR of the Srah. (an of cur as high
as our Chu ncellor)stand up in the Spoon. and maintain
the necessity of keeping these objects separate from
each other, cannot fail to evil, the Beefiest sympa-
thetic felicitations in the breast of every friend to
freedom in whatever part of the world he is pieced.
—" Religiose (ha observed) associate peaceably
with each other ; and what is the nose of this
harmony ? It is from the liberty that they enjoy.
Bet the mom►nt you impose limits es there, you
destroy this !berty ; you become tyrannical, and
you do not attain your aim." Such sentiments
remind one.? Dr. Fria:rime's me•im, obi libertos,

Caltrntw lIUNDR I 138.-it may be • satisfaction
to a number of our Heoders to learn, whet this con-
venience to Minister and Slernbers of Parliament
consists of. The acceptance of the office of Steward- ,
ship of this place (without honour or profit) vacates
a seat in Parliament. It is said that Colonel Turr-
str., Member for Beverley, was deceived by the offer
of this appointment. in order to goalify kiln to all
his spat to Sir 11. BRIDGMAX. The notion, there.
fore, slat this office is attended with profit is quite
err s. Indeed it is immediately resigned, so
soon as My accepting Member bus disposed of his seat in
Parliament. Chiltern is a ridge of risslky hills,
a hick crosses the county of Back., a little south of
the centre, reaching from Trim in Ilertfordohire, to
Henley, in the county of Oafurri. This district be-
longs to the Crown, and fo► t(. immemorial has
given title to the nominal office of Steward of the
Chiltern Hundreds. Of this office, as well es the
moor of East Hundred, in Berko, it is remarkable,
shut although frequrently conferred upon Members of
Parliament, it is not productive either of honour or
emolument; being pasted at the request of any
Member of that !loose, merely to enable him to va-
cate his seat by the acceptance of a nominal office en-
der the Crown ; and on this account it has fire.

Extract of a letter dated Port.au.Prince, Feb. 13.
—" President BOTTA steadily ponies his plea for
effecting • reform in the expenditure of the State,
end for introdecing greater order in the different
departments of the Administration. The Chambers
are assembled, bot hitherto no VOW lAIP has been
passed. A large force was pet in motion so the 'ld

neighbourhood by their iosursectioasry mnemonic.

he vet fire to the post he had octepied, sod retired
with his adherents into the deepest recesses of the

those of his principal Chiefs. lam of opinion that
white this affair is ended, and the President feels him-
self in tranquil possession of the interior, he will turn
his thoughts towards the North, and sifted the
limits of the Republic in that direction."
