p and unfounded principles which it assumes.
It i. sofficient for tr; to remark at present, that the
effect which the exigence or. the Oetlers in Council
has already had on the manufactures of the country,
/las been sufficient to convince every Individual, no
nay dependant on Ministers, that they must ulti-
mately prove our utter ruin, if they are not soon

Doctor DUIG£N4N, the tedoutable Champion of
bigotry and intolerance, has, once more (as is
supposed for his last season), made his appearance 1
on the Parliamentary Boards. The D. actor pro- !
poses, this evening, to edify the House with a
variety of extracts, voluminously ransacked
from musty old Councils, particularly from those
of Constance and Treat. However disgusting 1
the Doctor's long- winded harangue may be to
the House and to the public, it will prove highly gm-
tifying to Master JACA GIFFORD, and other equally
respectable Members of the Corporation of Dublin.— I
It is, perhaps, not gene ally known, that the Doc-
tor is always returned a Member of Parlia-
ment
for Armagh, which is under the sole in- 1
Ounce of the Primate of Ireland. As Judge of •'
the Prerogative Court, and Vicar-General of differ-
ent
Dioceses, be enjoys ensoldteents to the amount,
at toast, of WOOL per annum. These trifling cix
camstances may, in some measure, account for the
uncommon earmth the Doctor never fails to display
when be is told the Church is in danger.

It is rumoured in the City, that the Minister will
not make his loan till the latter end of May, or
the beginning of June, in consequence of there
being near Five Millions of the Five per Cent.
Scrip being paid up in full. If that should
be the me, there is no doubt of his maki►►g his Loan
at Two per Cent. above the present price ; there will
be above three millions of stock taken out of the
Market.

The Elaanor is arrived -at Portsmouth, with the
offieial account of the capture of the Amethyst, by
the Southampton. The Amethyst had escaped from
CURISTOPNE, and was going to join PETION. Our
104 is two Officers and eleven men killed and
wounded. ,

By a recent arrival from the Continent, we learn
that seven sail of the line, three frigates, and several
brigs of war, are in the Tezel, ready for sea. In
consequence of the spriug.tides being over, Admiral
FERRILII, with three sail of the line, part of the
squadron appointed to blockade the Texel, arrived
iu lloscly Bay on Thursday last, but will speedily
resume his station. The Scheldt squadron, we have
been assured, is in the same state of forwardness.
Advices were received yesterday from Mexico,
Vera Crua, and Lima, the latter to the date of the
Ist of October. The insurgents had been suppressed
in those situations, but trade was not re-established,
and confidence had 1144 returned, although tranquil.
lity was restored. It is said, that two and a half
millions of dollars had been forwarded to Old Spain.
We have not yet had the satisfaction to hear of their
arrival.

We bave a few letters and Regal Giraffes from
Jamaica to the date of the 14th of February. The
Papers contain Resolutions, passed at Meetings of
Proprietors of Estates in I:l:mnarara and Tobago. In
the third Resolution of the former it is stated, that
the settlement lost last year 1,200,0001. The
eleventh directs that a Petition be presented to Par-
liament, to introduce sugar into our Distilleries.—
The tenth Resolution at the Tobago Meeting states,
" That nothing but the hope of some relief, and the
duty they owe to their creditors, could induce the
Planters to continue the cultivation of their estates,
for any other purpose than the maintenance of them-
selves, and their negroes, by raising stock and pro-
visions."

A letter from St. Domingo, dated the 28th of Ja-
nuary, contains the following paragraph :—" A great
part of the crew of a frigate, with 500 men on hoard,
in the service of one of the contending chiefs of St.
Doniinko, revoked while on her voyage from the
Cape to Jereniie, and took her into Miragrana, one
of the ports of the department of the South, and
delivered her op to the persons commanding there."
By the Nimrod letters have been received from
Malta to the 14th ult. The last advices received
there from Sicily, do not represent the state of that
island as yet wholly free from disturbance. We
subjoin an extract of a letter from Malta on that
subject :
" MALTA, MARCHB.--We are much depressed here
from the still undetermined state of the afitsimi of Si-
cily. It appears that matters are there but external.
ly settled : the force of the hostile party is alive and
active. In the opinion of informed persons, nothing
less thee the entire removal of the Queers, and her
advisers and confederates, can insure security and
peace to our possession of that island. The rumoured,
paciftcation between Turkey and Russia. has not yet'
taken place."
Mr. Gnarr.ts's motion on the Catholic Claims

vjoestion ou Tuesday.

mons yesterday, were ordered to attend the House

gal.
Such is the quantity of American timber now in
Plymouth Dock-yard, that a transport laden with it
has been sent round to Portsmouth. When the last
convoy left Quebec, for Plymouth, there were trees
eucueh lying on the ground to lade 30 vents.
