reflects indelible disgrace upon POPE CESAILOTEI,
and these Sove►eigns who have supported him.

The Papers from Madrid inform sr,i, that the Dew
Premier intends to said writes expeditions to Smith
America, consisting in ail of not less then 43,000
mesh Of these, it is said, 10,000 are to proceed to
Venezuela and New Craned., 8000 to Mexico,
14,000 to Buenos Ayres, sod 8000 to Chili. The
Spanish Minister may SWIM the Spanish Public with
planning such formidable espeditions, but it is tn.
tally impossible to realize them. It is easier to talk
of such projects than to perform them.

On Thursday seat the *otiosely anticipated Meet-
ing of Parlimpet takes place. It will be an import-
ant Session, for besides the sew orpoisationwhich it
will present, Imre topics of public interest must come
under legislative revision then ban been presented

Royal Speech, which on this occasion cannot be el-
towhee made op of subjects of insipidity, will be the
first object of curiosity to the Public, and of dinessloo
in the Hone. And truly, most justly, ■ subject of
curiosity, for the topics arose many and so serious
in the present state of the country to which it ought
to refer, that it is impossible not lo be all anziety to
learn which of them are selected for notice, sod the
colouring give, to those that are selected. Then
cannot be a doubt that the duties both of Ministers
end Parliament are become both seduces and swot.

the country, as connected with tendon, and gro-

come in too questionable a shape to d credit,
and they circulate under circumstances of so

projects of palace building and street making.
as to induce the belief, that whatever is sewed
one vray will be spent in another. Whet will be
said of the Paper System, as connected not only with
the trade of the country, but the morels of the People
at large, as inducing unbounded speculation, follow-
ed by bankruptcies that involve thousands in rein, as
affording facilities and encouragement to forgery,
and monthly placing scores of miserable wretches at
the bar of their country, from which they are trans.
ferred to the gallows. Will Lord CAIITLMEAGH

ing, both in number and atrocity, and in defiance of
which forged notes have bown issued from the very
room where the victim to the law was lying deed,
after bovine been hanged for forgery. Some motti-
holier ought to be made In this Code, the most
bloody, it is said, in Europe. S..me great harrier
ought to be mired against the progress of crime,
which it seems is not to be impeded by severity, nor
resisted by terror. Is this system if, continue? Are
we longer to have laws imposing the same punish-
ment, and that the punishment of death, for two
hundred species of crime—laws which can not be
etecated without nutroging humanity end justice—
laws which are not 'executed once in twenty time..
when their penalty is incurred,—laws of which the
decree of execution Is left to the discretion of the
Judge, which Judge,according to the temperament or
