STA ROBERT wALPoLE.

NJ. w. Levisou, my lord Covers brother,
told me that he happened TO be in the house
of lords, and standing next sir Robert Wal
pole. when there was warm debate concern
ing some ministerial measures. In the midst
Of the debate says sir Robert to him. You
see with what zeal andsehemence these gen.
tlemen oppose, and yet know the price of
every man in this house except three, and
your brother is one of them" Sir Robert
was frequently very unguarded in bis express
sions for nothing certainly could have been
thrown out more Injurious to the honor of the
house OF lords. Besides tbs was an open
confession OF bis manner Of governing, and to
wha: great height be had carried corruption.

HARDY's SQUADRON.

The following paragraph from the London
Times of The 2lst September, explains dis
tnctly the destination and motive of Hardy S
expedition -
" Some apprchensions having prevailed
with regard to the service to which Sir Tho
mas Hardy's squadron is destined, we have
reason 10 think ourselves authorized in sta.
ting, that this gallant officer (who, by the
way, is not an admiral, but a captain bearing
broad pendant) carries out no orders differ
ing in any respect from those which Captain
BowIes, his predecessor, has acted on for
these four or five years past with so much
advantage to British commerce. If Sir Tho
mas Hardys force be greater than that under
Captain Bowles, it may, perhaps, be only
because the forces of the contending parties
have accumulated and it is a necessary
principle in our maritime policy 10 give our
distant trade the countenance of squadron,
proportioned in some degree, TO those of the
be!ligerent parties. On that ground we are
apt TO think that Commodore Bowles was,
in The first instance, relatively stronger than
Sir Thomas Hardy is now. The surmise Of
contemporary journal, therefore, we believe
TO be erroneous, namely, that Sc Lord Coch-
rane's measure would bring him within the
rule Of Sir T. Hardy's Instructions )" for il
the blockad- of the Peruvian coast be q
blockade de facto, we never, OF course, can
contend against or impugn it, without flying
in the face Of our own doctrines but lift ba
amere paper blockade, The questions arising
out OF it must be left 10 the decision Of the
British government al home, a. it would rem
der the peace Of nations muci, TOO precarious,
if individual officers had the power of de-
termining what did, or did not amount to in.

TO take the remedy into their own hands"

1t is reported by gentleman from st.
Louis, that. on the night OF the l7lh inst.
mob collected in that town. and after driving
from their posts the guards who had been
stationed around the Jail, attacked the Jail
with crow picks, sc. and almost demolished
it-when they proceeded to'drsencumber the
prisoners of their letters, which having ac
complshed, and set the prisoners to the
number Of eight or ten, at liberty, they dis
persed in the most perfect order. What is
more remarkable than any thing else is, that
of the mob, consisting of or 500 persons,
no one has yet been recognized as having
been engaged in the affair. 1t is understood
that only four or FIVE of the prisoners were
confined for capital offences.
