NJ. Canmartin made speech, in defence

Overlooking with revolutionary love and

and sensibility, in behalf ofmen whom the
moral voice of the world has pronounced
to be unuttcrably infamous. The whining
Grafton was Indignantly answered by the
keeper of the seals, who pronounced re-
peatedly that whatever clemency might
hereafter be extended towards the tenn
porary banished, by the generosity ofthe
Crown, the regicides--the relapsed regi-
cides-were exiled for ever. This de-
claration was received with shouts of
applause from the whole Chamber, with
the exception of about twenty Z ltra Lib
erals on the left, whose tongues seemed
frozen by the energetic manner of the
minister. In one part of his speech he
exclaimed that :. the king could not,
without compromising his own dignity,
the repose of France and of Europe, re-
store to France the assassins of his bro
ther, the assassins of his predecessor,
the murderers Of the marVr-king."
Religious freedom-A motion made
in the French legislature this spring, to
enforce respect to the established reli-
gion of the French empire, and to punish
outraSes againstit, was negatived, on the
ground that sectarians associate peacea-
bly, together only while they enjoy the
liberty of differing, and that.they cannot
be prevented by legal restrictions from
attacking the dogmas of each other
" You may" said the keeper of the seals,
" drag them to prison; you may load
them with chains; they will still preach
the same gospel. Destroy their liberty,
you become tyrannical, and you DO not
attain your aim We rejoice to sec
this liberal and enlightened policy avow-
cd by the cabinet OF France. The en-
ample of America completely demon
strates, that pure and vital religion -four
ishes best under the genial shade of
liberty and universal federation.

Nothing satisfactory has yet reached
us from the expedition against Texas,
but we understand that it is progressing
towards the Sabine, which is to be the
resting place, until matters are ripe for
a general revoltin the province. Their
plan, we understand, is to drive out the
small number of royalists who yet re-
main there, and Immediately organize
form of government similar to our own.
When this lie accomplished, their en-

nish governor of Porto Bello was a pu-
slllanlmous man, and abandoned the city,
with the inhabitants and 255 soldiers, on
the approach of MsGregor, who met on

Good order prevailed, and property was
respected. Articles were purchased
and acknowledgements given, payable at
Pana'na, on its anticipated capture.
The captain general of Panama, on
learning the capture of Porto Bello,
reinforced the garrison of Chagres, and
united the remaining troops OF Panama
with the fugitives from Porto Bello.-
Amid rains and over bad roads he adj
vanced day and night on Porto Bcllo.--
Son the Soth, at 9 O'Clock, A. M. (says
the Spanish account the enemy was at
tackled at three different points, by sol
.dicrs who were fatigued by long
march, and covered with mud from head
to foot: nevertheless the forts were ia
ken at the point of the bayonet, and by
10 O'Clock the Spanish flag was flying
every where. The loss in this attack,
made without piece Of artillery, on a
place studded with cannon, was 90 men
killed or wounded on the Spanish side,
and the whole of the army Of the enemy,
viz: As officers and l45 privates killed
or dangerously wounded; BIG officers
and Sls privates prisoners
The attack was made by 400 men,
The prisoners who are mechanics or

SOUTH AMERICA,

Capt. Howard, arrived at PASSPORT,
from Trinidad, furnishes Dcmerara pa
pers to the 2lst May. The news Of the
defeat of M'Gregor at Porto Bello had
not reached Trinidad when captain II.
sailed, who informs that few days pre-
vious to his sailing, English ships ar
rived in the Gulf of Paria, full OF Eng
lish troops bound to Angostura, for the
purpose Of assisting the revolutionists.
The following paragraph is all the pa
pcrs contain ofany consequence relative
to South American affairs -
Demerara, Nays.
1t is beyond doubt, from 5 to 1000
auxiliary troops have arrived from Eng
land-that several corvettes and briggs of
war have been Incorporated in the Re
publican navy--and that the Royalist
general retreats. With regard TO the
provinces of Buenos Ayres and Peru,
it appears that the cause of the indie

Ontario, which arrived the other day at
Barbados, brings word that she fell in
with the Lissc, who informed her, lord
Cochrane with two so gun ships was

a Port Of Chill, with millions of dol
lars on board, Spanish property.

AMERICAN PRESIDENTS SPEECH.

The Speech of the American President
is always considered, in this country, as
secondary IN importance only TO the Kings
speech upon the opening of Parliament. A.
merica being the only stale which can At all
compete with US in commercial enterprise
and naval strength, she is naturally loohcd
upon with an eye Of constant vigilance and
jealousy. Herpolitical and national move
ments are considered with earnest attention
and they excite in US an interest coreSpon-
dent with their magnitude aud Importance.
America, is in truth, country, whose
increasing power and civilization, active
and independent spirit mot exempt per-
haps from Some tinclure of ambition,l are
bringing her daily into nearer contact
with the European commonwealth OF
sta,es. She is, however 10 be considered
in another sense, in which her character
becomes more magnificent ana august
She is the fountain from which the waters
OF civilization Aow through all immense
portion of the habitaole world. She IS dali
iy enldrging the sphere OF law, Justice, and
religion, and introducing, hand in hand
with hem the comforts oI civil society and
the consolation 0, religion. She Is in truth
a missionary OH the grandest scale. She
is iuinllng the great purpose OF Providence
in bringing tue world by degrees Chat
portion OF it at least which has been ne
elected by Others. INTO order and law. I'm
meuse tribes OF indians are CONSTANTLY en-
grated upon her comprehensive STOCK, and
imbued with those principles OF govern
ment and law, the know ledge and love OF
which, when once communicated 10 men,
are never forgotten or exiting uished.
The annals OF mankind, we believe, do
not AFFORD an example Of people, unce re-
covered from aIbarIsm, relapsIng into a
savage state. India and China are instan-
Ces OF The contrary they have been Inc
saue for muI ,i,ude OF ages.
II such be the state OF America, and such
her relation, not only to US, but to tie
whole world, ner national character anu
ner prosperity, are matters not only OF M
portauce, bul OF afeCuonate consideration
for Europeans ami, as such, we have al
ways been accustomed To regard them.
National Jealousy, and the subordinate OBJ
jecls OF commercial rivalry, become lost
under such considerations and We look
upon her increasing and fourlshing condi-
ton as boon to the whole world, and as
pure and unmixed good to the human
race.
With respect to the present speech OF
the President, it certainly does not afford
many topics for novelty. /! intimates that
the commercial arrangements between A
nerlca and England are likely to be con-
cluaed upon scale of great extent, anu
principles of mutual liberality. We 60
not regard this, however, as an advantage
