FROM PERNAMBUCO.

We have seen a letter from Pernambueo, of the-23d
iitoin which it ie stated, that the•ltevolntionists were
atone time within three miles of the town, which they
then might have easily taken, as their approach caused
great consternation, and a large number of inhabitants
deserted the place. Their indecision saved the town,
of which the Governor took adviantage and fortified the
parts assailable ; as it is supposed the contest is now
doubtful. Business was dull.

No Paris journals had reached us when our paper
went to press. The accounts in those of yesterday,
which we had not time or room to give, relative to the
fever iu Spain, are more favourable than the preced-
ing. A letter from one of the French Physi-
cians at Barielona, dated the IDth of November states
it to be somewhat less fatal, or less rapid in its pro-
mos, but still it commits dreadful ravages. It at first
attacked more particolitly persons, both male and fe-
male, of a middle age ; then children of from ten to
fifteen years, anic _some old men. The deaths at Bar-
celona on the/th of November, were 58; on the Bth,
81: and 95 on the 9th. Mob communication be-
tween Barcelona and Barcelonetta is atilt interdicted.
Another letter from Barcelona, dated the 14th of No-
vember, says," The plague diminishes, but the deaths
are still on an average, fifty a day." But, from the
, 2 ith, of October to the 9th of November, the number
Of victims was 1772, which is more than 100 a day.

The Dublin papers received this morning bring
such details as had been published there of the Coro-
ner's Inquest on the unfortunate family of the &teas ;
and we lament to add, an account of soother murder
of a respectable individtial of the South West of Ire-
land. Relative to the former horrid affair, the Inqui-
sition does not appear to have elicited any satisfac-
tory information ; and, as to the latter, it seems to be
considered as a melancholy consolation that the mur-
der was perpetrated not by persons of the description
ow*. oggisio4.l, the p revalsafteWsut ,spv.
of the common herd of burglars atia rObbero:Nothilt
can more 'fully prove the dreadful state in which
that part of Ireland is involved, when such a thought
can afford relief; but if any further evidence were ne-
cessary, it will be found in the violence with which
these outrages continue, notwithstan4ing almost every
village is garrisoned by numerous troops. As an ad-
ditional means of checking the disorders, it had been

proposed to put in force what is called The Preserva.,
Lion of the Peace Act ; bat so odious find oppressive
are the measures it directs, that a numerous meeting
of the Magistrates and Oentlemen of the county of
Cork Lave remonstrated against the application
of the remedy. To fill up the measure 'of distress,
it is announced by a Ministerial paper that
Ministers have determined to call the Yeomanry
of the country into action. if an adequate forceof this
kind be employed, and animated as such force °fie:As
on occusions of commotion, all spirit of resistance
may be in the end subdued ; but it will be by the
means of horrors at which humanity will shudder as
much as at the disorders which at present prevail.

We are told that Britain le the seat-of a generoui
humanity, and that solicitude for the unfortunate, anii
assistance to those groaning under bondage and sla-
very, readily sbew by the British people. How then
are we to account for those discordant feelings, which*
are sometimes manifested, on occasions when the
greatest unanimity, one would think, ought toprevail?
We have seen an individual who is called a great man,
exert himself year after year, to emancipate the Black
Slaves in the West Indies, and to annihilate the Atria
can trade in humid' flail. We have also seen the same
man vote for every measure brought forward to en-
slave his own countrymen, and deprive them of that
constitution which he so frequently panegyrised. We
have heard him pass encomiums on a branch of a des-
picable gang, and talk of Charity, 'Religion, and
of Missionary and Bible Societies ; but we have
not beard him call upon the Government, or the
people to stop the sanguine butcheries of the Turks.
Oh no 1 what is charity or butaanity In Africa or
the West Indies is natural policy in Greece and in
Parga. Instead of manfully standing firm in the
cause of suffering humanity, and the persecuted
christians in Turkey and Greece, this arch hypocrite
and the rest of the saints and pradeat politicians
shrink from their duties and professions, and let Chris-
tianity and humanity take care of themselves. One
would naturally have Imagined that in the cause of
_tarty and religion these sanctified champions would,
have shown thamselves COMICUMBIN If It were. only sok
support their usual character as Weeders of the
Faith. Stireit this is* time Oda doss Who pretend
so much odgit to do something.

NURZSIBORO, Nov. 17.—Prince Leopold of Saxe
Coburg, son-in-law of the King of England, has just
passed through our city on Isis way to Italy, where tie
will join the Princess, his mother, and remain during
the winter. It has been remarked here with smile sur-
prise that the Prince did not go to Hanover during the
King of England's stay there.
It is said at Hanover, that the. Minister made the
King a present of 10,000 golden George", newly coined,
before his departure. Lord Sidniooth having refused
to pay the expenses of the journey from the English
Treasury, the Exchequer of Hanover has been charged
with the payment of the different purchases made by
the King, and the considerable cost which hit stay in
the city has occasioned.
Marrow, Nov. 17.—The Duke de Cadiz, the King's
•nephew, awl son of his Royal Highness Don Fran-
cois de Paule, and Donna Louisa Charlolte, of Naples,
(sister of the Duchess de Berri) died on the 15th inst.
at the Royal residence of the Escurial. The
intelli-
gence was officially announced to the Cortes, during
the sitting of yesterday, by the Minister of Marine.
The King, the Queen, and all the Royal Family, con-
done at the Escurial ; they enjoy excellent health.
Recent letters from a British nobleman state, that
litany emigrations from Naples were daily taking place
daring the last month among
.the young men, for the
sdpress purpose of joining the Greek standard.
The purchase of 5000 horses in the Marches of
Magdeburg, for the service of the dismounted cavalry
of France, is said to have excited the jealousy of tls 30
Prussians, who are affected by the slightest appearance
of an arming on the part of France. These repots
and fears are absurd; for it must be evident that the
present French Gevernment cannot think of going to
war.

Bertrand, Drouot, Goorgand, and M. Las Cases, Hr.
Autonairehi, his Almoner, and several other persons

of facts, which the English journals have strangely
misrepresented, and which we were not allowed to cor-
rect sooner.
Movixo Morwratx.—Letters from the Tyrol an
mince an extraordinary and deplorable event :—A
high mountain in the Pusterthal, between the ancient
bisboprick of Britten and Carinthia, has suddenly
moved, and been precipitated on the little villaae of
Made. The whole valley of Muda was covered in an
instant with earth, rocks, and trees. It is not known
how many persons have suffered by this frightful
catastropher.—(Freneh paper.)
The Grand Jury for Westminster and Mildlesex
have for the SIXTH time thrown out a bill of indict-
ment preferred by Mr. Sharpe, Secretary to the
Bridge-street Association, against Mr. Phipps, Edi-
tor of l'heWeaos.

it is stated, with a reference to the coloties of
Norfolk and Suffolk, and city of Norwich, that con-
stant harmony had subsisted aneing the inhabitantsso
long as the number of anoraks bad been limited to six
in each of the above Counties; and two in the above
city; but that the number being increased to eighty,
many of whom derived their solsoletence from the pro-
modes of strife and law-suite, It itimi found expedient
to reduce them to their original Itumber. It was ac-
cordingly enacted, under apenaltifinf 201.. that none
should be added to this
~. mber. Though this
statedmain uneepoiXt Ilearcely necessary to
mend much its previsions are disregarded. In
'titt4rof Nonslth *lone, according to the lami list of
the present year, there are 59attornies, ansithe county
of Norfolk, exclusive of these 53, contains 70 more,
Making in all 123, instead of eight. The county of
Suffolk adds its quota of 92 to the number of these so
styled strife-making personages, raising the number of
-in the two counties and city of Norwich to 215, in-
stead of the 14 of Henry Vl.'s time. A similar in.
crease has taken place in the capital, where there are
at present not many abort of 3,000 attornies.
LORD BACON.—Panaing was, at least, no eridu in
the days of the first of the Stuarts, nor Kings nor
Nohlitrwere above it. The greet Lord Bacon was.
reduced to.such extreme 'poverty towards the latter
mutable life, that he wrote to James. I. for his as-
sistance, is these words :-- " Help me,.dear Sovereign,.
Lord and *aster, and pity me so far, that I who have
been burn to a bag be not now, in my age, forced. is.
effect to beat a reeliet ; hot that I who desire to live
to study, May be driven tO- study to live. 4" Those
who may be disposed to enrage this, "feu -de mote,"
*ay not perhaps be so 'indulged to S. former letter of
theiante great Mtn to Pallid Charles, wherein be
'hope's that " intim rather was his Creator, the son
will be his Redresser."' •:; .
