1t is understood to be the Kings intention to o.
Peu the approaching session of Parliament in per
son. His Majesty will come up to London from
Brighton the day before the meeting, and return
thter the day after, for the remainder of the ses-
sion.
The Kings health and presence at Brighton have
occasioned that place to be the resort of the
fashionable world, at this season, than was ever
remembered. Every house of Tie first class is in
demand. The balls and dinner parties, in addi-
ton to Royal invitations to the palace, are very
numerous.
The subject of the complaints of the West India
Colonies, it is supposed will be among the first to
command the attention of Parliament The dis
custom, says the Courier, has become absolutely
necessary to prevent the most distressing conse-
qucnces, to the British trade and interests in that
quarter.
The new Lord ChiefJustice of the Court of Com
mon Pleas, and the Lord Chief Baron of the Ex-
chequer, were expected soon to receive their APP
pointments from the King at Brighton, and to be
sworn in Privy Councillors
The Privy Council, it is said, have come to the
determination of granting full and unreserved
pardon to Hunt, from conviction that it would be
dangerous to try and convict him of crime of
which he had previously confessed himself guilty
under an implied pardon.
More favorable accounts have lately been re-
ceived from Ireland. The Courier says all appre-
henslon OF any scarcity being experienced this win
ter, had wholly subsidized; the value of agricultural
produce generally had increased; and there were
grounds for mdulging the most pleasing anticipa-
tions.

dreadful explosion occurred at Polsooth Mine,
on Thursday, the 18th of January, accustomed by
the bursting OF the boiler. The explosion was so
terrific, that one man was thrown over the engine
house to the distance of $50 feet, and killed. and
another named Martin dreadfully hurt, since dead.
Pieces of the boiler of 600 h. weight were carried TO

Not vesige of the house which contained the boil
er remains and two adjoining houses were literally
dashed in pieces by the explosion.
The Presidents Message continues to afford mat
ter for the speculations of public writers-Speak-
ing of the Message and the Russian government, the
Courier says it will probably give umbrage to the
latter. Sin truth" says the Editor, "the tone of
that Message is very decidedly hostile to the extra
VACANT professions of power which, with all ina
enable GOODNESS, contemplated the turning by Rus
sian Ukase, of the Pacific Ocean into a Russia n
Lake. We have reason to believe, that the expla-
nations which have taken place between our own
government and that of the United States, upon the
subject of the Message, have been of the most salts
factory k1nd. We believe, also, we may venture to
assure our readers, that upon all the great
now engrossng the attention of Europe and the u.
States, this country and America understand eaco
other perfectly, and are upon the best possible foot
ing"

be made upon the South American Republics We
have copied below article from the London Sun
upon this subject. The British Traveller of the
9th, says-"the Spanish Government have come to
determination to try at all hazards, to regain her
South American provinces, either by an expedition,
or trying the effect oil counter revolution. The
Portuguese are determined to rcConquer Rio janet
ro," And the Courier announces letters from Ca
diz of the 29th of December, mentioning THAT the
expedition against South America, which has been
for some time preparing in that port, was on the
point of sailing The Asia, the only vessel of war
III the harbor, not to form part of the expedi-
ton, only the frigates and smaller vessels
Goblet has addressed one of his long prophetical
letters ITO Sir Thomas Bcevor, Bart, the pros
poets to or peace" He thinks there is some
causeess alarm, but also thinks the present state of
things in Europe, have tendency TO a continental
war. Should the United States join England at
first, ne says they would turn againat her, aad be-
come her worst enemy.
Probert, the accomplcc of Thurtell, &c. has had
the impudcnce TO appear at the Royal Exchange,
and to address a wine merchant, whom he had
known before his late exposure 1t is scarcely ne
cessary to say that this salute was received with
contempt.

The continental accounts Of the British expedi-
ton said to be preparing at Corfu, proceed against
Tunis, has at length attracted the attention of the
London Press. Bat nothing is either affirmed or de-
MED. French paper having expressed a hope
that this expedition would prove more decisive
than that against Algiers," the British Traveller re-
marks" What the writer means by this hope, we
