THE STATESMAN.

have exhibited a great deal more energy than their ances-
tors were permitted to exhibit. Their ancestors never had
nearly seventeen hundred men in prison in one year for
being in pursuit of hares and partridges. Their ances-
tors were pretty well in this way, blit by no means so
energetic as those of the present day. To be sure, they
do not show much energy when placed before the long-
bearded gentry of the 'Change. They slink a little then,
hut, to be compelled to slink, is precisely what is their
due. Mr. Macdonald complained that " France was
" rich and wicked enough to attack independent States ;
" that it appeared that in the same degree that France
" flourished, England sunk ; and that he should always
" consider these days as days of humiliation to Eng-
" land." These seotiments are just enough ; but
they are expressed at a time when it is useless to
express them. TheY should have been entertained
and acted upon, long and long .ago.—Reform, Mr.
Macdonald says, is the remedy for all this; but he
knows as well as I do, that there never will be a Reform
u long as the Interest of the Debt shall be paid in full.
To this we always come: It is useless to talk about Re-
, form, so long as the funding system remain what it now
, is. It will not remaiu what it now is, a great deal
longer ; but in what manner it will be changed, no man
, can tell.

Paris papers have arrived to the 4th instant, hut have
brought no news of importance. The proceedings in the
Chamber of Deputies on the Ist were unimportant. The
trial of the persons arrested for rioting on the 6th, on the
expulsion of Manuel, came on before the Tribunal of
Correctional Police.—One man was condemned to a
year's imprisonment and a tine of 500 francs ; another
to six month's imprisonment and a fine of 50 francs.
Four persons were acquitted. It is now admitted even
by the official papers, that one of General Guilleminot's
Aides•de-camp has been arrested, under a charge of co n-
spiring,.and has been brought to Paris. His same is
even given : it is M. de Lostande, and it is added that he
was conveyed to the capital by two Gendarmes, and con-
signed on the lot inst. to the celebrated prison oft' ,fidiage
The Journal des Debate also says, that " M. de Bois
Bertrand, Commissionary-General of Police, had arrived
on the 26th of March at Bourdeaux." This statement
has given countenance to the supiclon that something
has occurred in that quarter that has called for inquisi-
tion. Letters from Saragossa state, that Capsspe, Bes-
siere's Lieutenant, has finally capitulated with General
Ballasteros. The foreign legion which was formed at
.Bilboa is gone to Tolosa; a part, it is said, will proceed
towards lrun. his to serve as a free company. On the
departure (011ie last accounts, the Pastor was still at Iruo,
where he was employed in organizing his corps. Two
battalions of volunteers have arrived at Barcelona from
Majorca, and ten thousand muskets of English manufac
tare have been landed at Bilboa. It is thus confirmed
that the Constitutional Spaniards are exerting their ener-
gies, and that the boasted bands of the Faith have been
defeated in their attempts to regain a footing in Spain.
The Journal des Debate even owns that one of their
Chiefs, called Gorostidi, bail returned to St. Jean.de•Lna
with only 600 men, after "an infructuous attack on
Iruo." The "revolutionary Spaniards," as they are
called, resident at Bayonne, lave been turned ont of that
town for endeavouring to excite division amongst the
soldiers of Quesada, and for having reported that Bes-
sirres had capitulated and accepted the amnesty offered
by the Cortes. The failure of the bands of the Faith,
appears to occasion some further levies on the part of the
French, to prepare them for the enterprise of Invasion.

. .
An Army Qf Rererr•e, of the necessity of which no idea
had been previously suggested by any of the Ministers,

seems now about to be created. The Journal des Debut+
informs us that the Ministers would (an to-morrow) on
Thursday present to the Chamber of Deputies a law pro•

ject, for the organization of an Army of Reserve, by anti-
cipation on the levy of 1823. On this the Constitution•
net observes, that the ministerial evening journal an-
nounces, that " to-morrow, a call will be made for the
Army of Reserve," which doubtless means that a law pro.
ject will be presented by the Ministers, for a new levy of
men. The same journal, adds the Constitutionnel, as far
as we can divine its meaning, through the obscurity of
its language, insinuates that we shall soon he made ac-
quainted with the proclamation of the Duke of A ngon-
leme. We regret to find, by letters from Aleppo of the
7th, 10th, and 13th of January last, that the shocks
of earthquakes had recommenced in that unfortunate
country with more violence than ever.
FRENCH FUNDS, APRIL2.--.-Five per Cents. opened at
781.80 c. ; highest 78f. 90c., and closed at 78f. 55c.;
Bank Stock, 1,480. ; Neapolitan 5 per Cents. 671.
Eschange on London—One month, 251. 65c. ; three
ditto, 251. 45c.

Bayonne papers to the 28th nit. have been received
this morning., which state that a mail had arrived there
from Madrid, bat that it brought no news later than
the 19th.

From Portugal we have a despatch from Gen. Luiz de
Rego, to General Miranda, dated the 17th ult. After the
affair of the 13th with his vanguard, when the former
encountered the factious, and an action took place on hot-
sides, he thought fit to concentrate the troops under his
commend, and transferred his head quarters to Arainante.
—For want of particulars of the affair alluded to the
circumstances stated in the despatch are very obscure.
All that we can learn, is, that the Cazadores had suffered
in it, that the spirit of the troops is excellent, and that
arrangements are making to guard the passages of the
Douro, and to cut off the rebels from a retreat by
Galicia. _ _ _

Accounts from Constantinople to the 25th of February
state, that the fermentation among the Janissaries is not
yet appea'ed, and that every body is in fear from the nu.
merolts Mu'sehnans who parade the street in arms, and
commit great excesses. There is no news of either a po-
litical or military kind.

STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.—Up to the pre-
sent hottr.we do not hear of any Eipress•s having ar-
rived from Paris. Speculistion is now on the tip-toe in
the City to know if it be a fact that the French declara-
tion Is in town or not. It is positively stated, that the
invasion of Spain is deferred until the 16th instant.—
, consols opined this morning at Tin, at which price they

have been steady the whole of the morning, with little
or no business doing.
FOREIGN FUNDS.—In conseqnence of the non-arrival
of Expresses, and the depre-sion of the Spanish Bonds
at Paris, the foreign market was very heavy. with little
doing. Spanish Bonds opened at 2:1;f1.
Chili, 661—New Spanish, 291-01 d, 36—New Prussia,
791—01 d, 81/—Russin, 72—Danish 821—Colombia, 691
to 60.

We understand, that private letters are in town from
Colombi of a late date, bringing favourrble accounts
in regard to the Colombian Lnai, which positively as-
serts that it will be ratified by the Colombian Govern-
ment.

New York papers to the lith ult. have reached us this
morning, which contain an extract of a letter from La-
Ora, stating that intelligence hail been received from
Curacoa, by a qdick conveyance, that Morales was be.
tween Alla Gracia and Coro, in a most critical situation ;
that the troops he left fur the protection of the latter place
had struck the Royal standard, and displayed that of
the Republic, that Generals Urdante and Mentello are
marching upon him with a force that will overwhelm
him. Porto Civello is cloaely invested.
• By a letter from a gentleman residing at Valparaiso,
the subsequent particulars have been receive I of the state
of that place after the great earthquake :—" Several
other heavy shocks followed, but not to be compared
with the first. They continued very frequent during the
night of the kith of November, and every one fled
to the hill. and the shipping for safety. Many lives
were lost by the falling of the buildings; hut the
number has not as yet been ascertained. Nearly 300
are known to have perished, and many are wounded,
amongst whom is the Supreme Ditector. Nearly the
whole population is scattered about the hills in t.nts.—
The English familie4,_as also the American Consuls have
*all embarked on board the eiiippinx.
Nov. 30.—Several slight shocki continue every day,
and there hare been two this suoinisg.
" Dec. I.—Slight shocks continue, but not of a serious
description."

THE Mixes CocaT.—On Thursday afternoon his Ma-
jesty held a Court, at his Palace at Bright in, which w ts
attended by his Royal Highness the Duke of York, the
Secretary of State tor the Colonial Department, the Mas-
ter-General of the Ordnance, the Lord Steward. the Mas-
ter of the Horse, the Earl of Chiches'er, Lord Colches-
ter, &c.
The King held a Privy Council, at which the Right
Hon. Charles Grant was appointed by the King in Coun-
cil, Vice-President of the Board of 'tied e.
The Duke of York arrived io town to dinner last even-
ing, from his Royal Highness's visit to the King at
Brighton.
Earl Bathurst officiated for the Lord President, and
bad a private audience of his M .jesty, previous to the
holding of the Council, to lay before his Majesty the
business to be brought before the Council.
Letters._ dated the 14th nit. were received yesterday
from St. Petersburg. Much anxiety is expressed in them
for intelligence from England, confirmatory or others'
wise of the expected invasion of Spain by Prance, but'
the thought of a participation in the war by Russia does
nut at present enter into the speculations of the Peters.'
burg merchants. The exchange had fallen very consi-
derably, owing to the orders from Hamburg, Holland,
and London, for remittance of money.
The Congress of the United States rose on the 31 ult.,
alter a session remarkably barren of interesting topics,
even to the subjects, of the Republic ; and not having
perfected any one measure that his attracted attention
on this side of the Atlantic. The Bill for the amend-
ment of the Tariff intended, as the preamble slated, for
" the improvement of the revenue, and the protection of
domestic manufactures," which have oper %tea to the per-
il:dice of the artisans of this country, was lost in the
-Senate in the tatter part of the Session, after having
passed the House of Representatives. A treaty of coin-
tome and navigation, on principles of reciprocity, was
concluded between France and the United States. The
Republicans are alining fu establish this principle as the
basis of all their treaties, and are likely in the end to
carry their point. Ou the whole, we do not recollect
any former legislative session, to which in its progress
there has been so little reason to advert fur the informa-
tion of English readers.
PRESENTATION OP A PIECE OF PLATE BY TILE ELECT-
ORS OF CHICHESTER TO MR. iIIISKISSON.—The Right
Hon. lVm. Huskisson, met his late constituents on
Thursday, to receive the piece of plate intended to be
presented to him. The dinner was provided at the
Council House, the use of which was, on this occasion,
granted by the Mayor. 'f he Corporation assembled at
Iwo o'clock in the afternoon, and conferred the freedom
of the city on Mr. Huskisson. About four, the compa-
ny began to assemble, and at a quarter before five, about
120 Gentlemen sat down to a sumptuous dinner. After
the cloth was removed, and the usual toasts had been
given, the piece of plate ( vase) was tivn placed on the
table before the Chairman, F. L)iggens, Esq.—The fol-
lowing is a description :—The vase is a model of the an-
tique Bacchanalian rase which was found io the ruins of
Hadrian's villa at Tivoli, in the year 1777, and brought
to England by Sir Wm. Ilamilton,(then our ambassador
Wile court of Naples,) who presented it to the Earl of
Warwick. The vase is placed on a pedestal of exquisite
workmanship ; ell one side of which are the arms of the
city of Chichester, on the opposite side those of Mr.
Huskisson, and on the two remaining aides the following
inscription—
" To the Hight Hon. WILLIAM Ilusatssox, President of
the Board of Trade, Treasures of his Mej-sty's Navy, &c.
&c. ic. from the Electors of Chichester, in testimony of
their sincere respect for his publi c'taracter. their grateful
acknowledgment of his impartial attention to their local in-
terests, and their unfeigned regret on his retirement from
the Representation of their city in Parliament. April,
MDCCCXIIII "
Excellent glees and songs enlivened the company till a
late hour. The Chairman, with the Right lion. Gent. retired
about ten o'clock. Mr. linskiss in spoke for nearly as
hour, though evidently suffering from ill health, but we have
not yet received an account of this gentleman.
By the death of Sir John Hamer, a very lucrative si-
tuation in the Borough Court falls to the olisposit'on of
the Court of Aldermen. The worthy representative of
Castle Maynard Ward,John Joshua Smith, Esq. has (or
a long period performed the arduous duties of the office
for his deceased friend, and it is conceived, that es a
matter of grace and favour, Alderman Smith will suc-
ceed Sir John Earner.
Mr. Belzoni has presented to the Fitzwiiliam Museum
the lid of a Sarcophagus, found by him in one of the
tombs LE the Kings at Thebes in Upper Egypt. 'lois
interesting relic of antiquity arrived here on Monday,
and after considerable difficulty (its weight being up-
wards of three tons) was placed in the con: tof the. Mu-
seum. It was brought to England with the rest of the
Egyptian monuments, which Mr. Salt, his Majesty's
Consoi at Cairo, was enabled to collect, principally
through Mr. Belzoni, and deposited in the entrance court
of the British Museum, from whence it was removed by
the Rev. G. A. Browne last week; by virtue of an order
from Mr. Belzoni. The slab is composed of a angle
block of red granite; its length, when entire, exceeds
probably ten teet,itsbreadth is about five feet. The Sar-
cophagus to which this lid belongs, is, we are informed,
on its way from Egypt.

a mile of Yortglial, was attacked last night about nine
o'clock, by a party of six Whiteboys, who - succeeded,
when a ,ervant opened the door, in gaining admissica

were repulsed by Mr. Fitzgerald's son, and a servant—,
Mr. Fitzgerald immediately despatched a :nessenger to

of the military was sent out by Captain Leech, to join
the Mayor's party, •and having proceeded to Captain
Cotter's house, demanded admittance, not saying who

Last Thursday. as Mr. Persse, Chief Constable, was
returning font Clonmel to Balling, in Owney and Arr.',
became ap with two nioun•ed constables escorting Bono-
Ja. Ryan .and another Crown• witness from Clumnell,
about three miles from Tipperary, on the Limerick road;
they had sto7ped six armed peasantry, one of ohms was
nmonttti : Mr. Perm demanding their authority for be-
ing armed, they said they hail none, but had been driving
for rent, fot Which they, however, showed no authority.
Haying refused to give up their arms, and put themselves
in * position fur attack, Mr. Persse remonstrated, whoa
ere of them said he would go with Mr. Cersse to a Mo-
gistrive. Mr. P. with this single man, went to Tippera-

e istrate, who immediately proceeded with the Chief
Constable and a party of Police to meet •the peasantry,
from wlinin, on coming up witi)hern, he detnanded•their

The following additional circumstances, relative to the
exhumittion of the skull of Baron Swedenborg, are com-
mnnicated in a letter to the Editor of a Horning paper,
by a person who attests them with his signature, and
who expresses a desire to skreen the sexton or grave-
digger from the charge of having been bribed to aid in
purloining the above-mentioned skull from its coffin.
" Captain Lndvig Granholin, of the royal navy of
Swedes, called on me, near the end of the year 1817,
inviter' rue-to his lodgings, and showed me a skull, which
be s tid was the skald of Swedenborg. He informed me,
that a few days before that time, be had attended the
funeral of one of his countrymen, into the vault under
the Swedish Ambassador's chapel, in Prince's-square,
Ratcliffe-highway, anti that he remained there a short,
time, with others; looking at the inscriptions on various
coffins. That on reading the name of the Honourable'
Emanuel Swedenborg, and observing that the coffin-11d
aces loose, be was seized with the idea of making a large
vim of money, by taking the skull,and selling it to some
one of Swedenborg's followers, who, b e had beard, amount-
ed to many thousands in this country, and amongst
t'kons, be imagined, there would be much competition for
the possession of so valuable a relic. Ile watched his
opportunity, lifted• the lid, took out the skull, wrapped
