time of the itrukle, -which might be long, and the result
even fatal to the independence of the New States. Oar
Ministers seem to have formed no decision upon the line
of conduct which they will pursue, It is a " peel'd, patched
sod piebald" Administration, which has not enough of any
one feeling to make up a principle of action. Now Lord
Eldon prevails—then Lord Liverpool turns the balance ;
and then Mr. Canning and the minor members attempt to
adjust the weight of their several feather repu.
tations, which any breeze may blow away.—
One day their minions talk of war, and another they
wonder how any body could think they meant it. The
curse of such policy must soon be felt, and felt deeply.
A shuffling, fearful, hesitating character, whether of a
nation or of an individual, is always despicable. No
enemy fears it—no friend can trust it—indeed it can have
no friend, for thestrong hold it in contempt, and the weak
in detestation. Yet this isthe character which the Eldons,
the Liverpool., the Grenville,. and the Cannings, have
chosen for England ! for ,‘ the envy and the atimi.
ration of the world." By recent advice., the
Colombian Government is still represented as hold.
ing back from any absolute recogoition of the loan.
We have long since told the holders of the
Colombian bonds, that their security depended entirely
upon the acknowledgment of Colombian independence by
ibis country. And this acknowledgment must be made
in a full and formal manner, to produce any effect. The
appointment of Consulates to look merely after our own
interests will not avail. In proportion as the views of
France upon that portion of the globe become known, the
necessity of our recognition of the States becomes more
Important. If the French gain any footing there, the
loan securities are worthless for many years, even
ie the Colombians were disposed to acknowledge
their validity ; a matter not to be expected, if
England leave them to be overrun by the forces of con-
tinental Europe. The " Slop" policy is to induce us to
be quiet, until we cannot interfere. An English fleet,
which ought to be kept always ready for sea, could in.
tercept an armament with great facility, and at little
expence: —hut if a lodgment is made, neither fleets nor
armies mar succeed is recovering the lost ground. It was
the same with the Spanish contest! A word boldly spoken,
and a squadron to maintain it, would have saved Spain:
but all the force of England might prove inadequate to the
task of taking that country out of the controul of France.
The agents of the Bourbons het e, and we have many of them,
are endeavouring to treat us as the man in the fable treated
the lion in love. One tooth is to be pulled out after another,
and one claw pared after another—under the pretence of
maintaining an amiable neutrality, and of giving no ofi
fenee—uutil toothless and clawless, the old British Lion
may be knocked on the head as easily ass mad dog.

Mr. Harvey has applied for a new trial, and has been
refused. This was to be expected. Appeals from the
Lord Chancellor in the Court of Chancery, to the Lord

Chancellor upon the woolsack; and appeals from the
Lord Chief Justice personally, to himself, and his three

colleagues, atand a fair chance of being decided " as before"
The parties are so learned.ithat they are always right in
one place, and therefore never wrong in another. Yet
these appeals are useful illustrations of the system. They
let juries more fully info the arcaua of Judge•made law ;

and they alfull to the public a means of estimating the
value of a Judge's reasoning. Mr. Denman moved for a
new trial upon the reason of the cite. No malice had been
pot in proof, and he argued that it was not just to biler it

him to be prayed for in every perish church. Let the
patties whom this may concern take heed.

None of the Ministers attended the festivities of Guild-
hall yesterdiy Considering their great condescension of
late, this is railer Iworderful. We are sure that Mr. Can-
ning would have liked to be present; and we have heard it
whispered that the speech recently delivered at Plymouth,
was really intended for yeithrdny's performance in the
City; but that some of.hi4col'eag.tes, who cannot so easily
accommodate themselves to all parties, objected to his being,
present; and he therefore was reduced to the neCeisitv
choosing a smaller stage finite representation. This was,
as it turned out, fortunate for him ; for all his pieces are of
so very local a nature, that the lapse of a day, or the
arrival of a messenger from France, may destroy allthele
interest—and, after the sailing.of the Spanish expeditioa
to the South, his Plymouth harangue is out of date,

DRATR OT rue LORD Curet I3ARON.—We have this day'
to record the death of Lord Chief Baron Richards. The
event took place at his Lordship's residence in Great
Ormond Street, at half-past 7 o'clock. His Lordship had
been suffering for a considerable time, and so serious!,
indisposed was he during the last Circuit that he was under
the necessity of leaving the Court. The event was com-
municated to the Lord Chancellor by a note, and his Lord-
ship, on coming into Court this day, informed the Bar of
the event. His Lordship, we believe, was in his 75th year.
By the Walsinghant packet from the Mediterranean,
letters were yesterday received from Gibraltar to the 27th
of October exclusive. By these we learn that letters had
been received in that garrison from Cadiz, dated the 17th
of October. They stated that considerable confasiovi
reigned in thy place on account of the dread entertained
by those who had exercised authority under the late Revs-.
lutionists of some future punishment, and that as a great
part of the citizens were compromised in the proceedings
very great distrust prevailed. The Constitutional refugees
continue to arrive from various ports of Spain at Gibraltar,
many with the intention of subsequently proceeding to
England. The Royal French Guard had sailed from Cailit,
it was reported for Catalonia, ander convoy of some ships
of war. Trade at Gibraltar was in a most stagnant state,
all the merchants there having suspended their mercantile
dealings with Spain until that country become more
settled.
Some of the letters state, that the present Spanish
Governor D'Aunoy, an old officer of the Walloon Guard;
had issued orders fur the arrest of whole classes—all the
Members of the Cortes—all the Municipal Authorities—
all the Corporations, i. e. City Companies—all the Militia.
men, &c. The number of families affected by these ma-
sures amounted to no fewer titan 600. The consternation
was indescribable. liourmout, the French commander,
either fearing the consequence of this system of proscrip-
tion, by which multitudes were driven to desperation, or
wishing to derive advantage from it to his nation, and te
acquire popularity for himself, had affected to be greatly
shocked at the proceedings of D'Aunnoy, and opposed him-
self to them. Two hundred men of the Regimiento de la
Lealtad, having been sent to aid the Governor in his work
of cruelty, and landed on the Mole of Cadiz (each man
having fitly rounds of ball-cartridge) the French stopt
them, and ordered them back. Bourmont bad also insisted
on the liberation of the Duke del Parque, Latrie, and some
other persons of distinction. The accounts received from
Madrid are still more gloomy. The number of families
comprehended under the orders of banishment is so great,
that we hesitate to repeat it.
The Penis papers contain the indictment against the
physician Castaigit, charged with poisoning in succession
two brothers of the name of Ballet, whom he bad induced
to Drake wills in his favour. We some time ago gave as
account of this extraordinary case, and the indictment only
'details, in the French manner, with great minuteness, a
Ivariety of facts and circumstances, accompanied by con-
jectures and inferences to 'make out the charge, which,
notwithstanding the mass of irrelevant matter within
which it is involved, seems to be but too well founded.—
Castaign, though a man of profligate habits, is stated to
have prosecnted his professional studies ; but it is m
markable, that his chief attention was directed to ex-
periments oa the effects of different kinds of poisons. The
atrocious crime of which he was accused, appears-from
the details given to have been accomplished by poisons
which, according to the French nomenclature in the in-
dictment, are called l'emetiqwe and ['acetate dr morphine.
This day being the tirst silting day of the term, the
Gentlemen of the North West Bar, of 'which the lion. Jut

CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.
m,..iirllN.l.

(1,110111 VIII DUBLIN EVENING POST OP WOBBLY.)
The Association met this day, pursuant to adjournment.
Mr. Clinch in the Chair. Mr. O'Connell made his pro•
inised motion of thanks to " J.K.L." Author of the Vin-
dication of the Catholics of Ireland. The Learned Gentle-
man pronounced a very animated panegyric on the Right
Rev. Prelate. The motioo being seconded, was carried
uottoisnously and with acclamation.
Mr. O'Connell then made his promised motion regarding
the necessity of the Catholics procuring bnrying grounds
for themselves. Having gone into a very learned and elo-
quent disquisition on the origin of church-yard fees, and
their dispositions according to Common and Canon
Law, he concluded by moving, that a committee should
be appointed to make the proper arrangements. intimating
that be had good reason fur thinking, that the Catholic
Hierarchy 'and Priesthood would lend the plan their etre-
uons support.
Mr. L. Plunkett wished the motion to be deferred one
Amtht and moved en Amendment accordingly, but, not
being srEorlded, it fell to the ground, and the original
station passed unanimously. Thanks having been voted
to the Chairman; the Association adjourned to Saturday
next. The room was much crowded.
