be dangerous to the tranquility of its
neighbors. This step on the part of the
Holy Alliance will bring one important
point to the test-viz. the right of any
nation or nations to interfere, by force
of arms, with the internal concerns of any
independent sovereignty, upon the mere
ground OF apprehended insecurity that
the principles of such sovereignty may
become dangerous to the power or pow
ers thus interfering. Perhaps in no Pc
Rod of modern history has more i'm
portant subject--one more interesting to
the general security, independence, and
freedom of Europe-been placed before
the civilized world than this.
The paper above mentioned contains
the Parliamentary proceedings of the
9th OF February. They were of mis-
cellaneous and multifarious character.
The Queens affairs in some form or
other, are mixed into the proceedings
something in the same way that the Mis-
souri, has been with those of our Con-
gress. She and her friends insist with
great vehemence, that her name shall
be placed in the Liturgy--in other
words, that she shall be prayed for by
her liege subjects according TO !azv.--
We very much doubt whether a great,
enlightened, and powerful nation, was
ever before agitated by such question
as that above alluded to. Whatever re-
lance might, in other circumstances, be
PLACED on such formal legally authorized
prayers as these must be, in the present
state OF the public mind in Great Bri-
tain, the measure, if carried, cannot fair
ly cl,im among Christians any higher
degree of sanctity than mere party po-
litieal regulation, having prime refe-
renee to temporal secular concerns.

and refused to dispense until he COVER
nor should proclaim the Constitution,
which after some demur, he was obliged
to do. In consequence Of this event, all
business was suspended, and a holiday
of days proclaimed, during which the
island presented one continued scene OF
rejoicing. The town was brilliantly IL
Eliminated for three nights i'll succession,
and salutes fired from all the forts and

mob commenced their depredations,
which were continued till the governor
found it necessary to call out some Of the

fected, but not until they had demolish-

damage. On the LIST Feb. three depu-

airy %.
write principally to inform You of the
serious disturbances which have Just ia
ken place in Christophe's late domi-
MONS reports lead us to conclude tina,
regularly organized plan has been
formed to separate that part of the Island
from the republic-t is not asoertained
with what views, nor how far they will
succeed, but it is generally supposed
they wish to establish separate Repub-
lie, and to elect general Romano as Pre-.
sident. 1t is certain that Gonaives was
plundered on Sunday last by the Esd
regiment, formerly in Christophe's SER
vice, the only troops in the place. Gen.
francisque, in the service of Boyer, and
who commanded the ACCOMPLISHMENT, was
allowed TO embark quietly with his staff,
and he arrived here this morning in an
English cutter Many other persons
have come from thence, and they all re-
present the town TO be in a complete
state of anarchy.
St. Marks showed disposition to re-
volt-but the apparent rine-ieader, CO.
lionel OF the 9th regiment, being shot,
tranquility was restored, and as the prin-
clpal part OF the garrison consists of
troops from hence, there appears now
no reason to apprehend losing it; and in
the event of the North separating, it will,
from its strong Notifications, be valua-
bic acquisition to this government.
We have received no accounts from
Cape Henry that we can depend upon
but rumors report it also to be in a stale
of confusion.
Our President mas ordered troops to
march in the direction OF St. Marks, but
is still here with his friends, without
adopting any steps which indicate an in
iention to march, and l am at this mo-
ment quite ignorant of what he is likely
to do. We have nothing to fear here,
but it is much to be regretted that these
people cannot agree, and thereby
strengthen as we'll as enrich themselves.
We learn from our Boston correspon-
dent, that the schr. Packet at that port,
left at port Haytien, l9 days ago, the
United States sloop of war Ontario.
Gen. Reichard, and several others, had
been arrested as conspirators against the
present government, and sent to Port au
Prmce--and some alarm prevailed
among strangers.

FROM BRAZIL.

EXTRACT Or a letter, from Rio JaHe,ro,
dated 18Th November, 1920.
81 arrived here on the 9th, and found
the public mind much agitatcd. The
revolution in Portugal has prepared the
way for something of the kind; here the
volcano is ready to burst-and from the
best information that l can get, Brazil
will be free from the present despotic
government before the year ends.
"The soldiers have refused to salute
the King, and the lives of the ministry
have been threatened. 1t is expected
that it will not commence here, but
about Pernambuco or Bahai. The mine
is prepared, and there wants nothing but
q spark to the train"

FROM BUENOS AYRES.

Extract Of a letter from a gentleman in

81 have nothing else to tell you, but
the common news of this place, and even
of this very little. Affairs here are in
terrible state Of disorder; since the be-
ginning of this year, there have been no
less than sixteen governors; in fact we
get so used to these things, that we do
not think so much of them as people do
in England of "a change Of Parish officers.
II would be useless for me to attempt to
give you detailed account of the diff
ferent political reasons why one COVER
nor is put in and another turned out, for
in fact do not know them myself, there
is so much plotting and intriguing in
their maneuvres, nor do one tenth part
of the Englishmen here. Once the army
took the town by storm, and at another
time one was lowering about it for a
month, plundering all around. This, as
you will naturally conclude, tends great
" to the depression of trade. The pre-
sentgovernor, Martin Rodriguez, seems
more popular than any that have been
elected, and is likely to continue COVER
nor for some time, in which case we may
hope for peace and good trade.
The expedition against Peru, under
the Joint command of Lord Cochrane and
Gen. San Martin, sailed about three
months since. Should Peru open, the
trade of all South America must certain
" revive materially. At the present
moment, goods in Chill are selling at
enormous prices, particularly British
manufactures, on account of the great
quantity that find their way into Peru in
contraband way"
