erage chiefly consisting of sugar and water.
After the repast was finished, every one ap-
peared anxious for the arrival of the moment
when the whiskey would be distributed.
The Commissioners then came forward, and
remarked on the bad effects of drinking; the
baneful influence it had already effected upon
their character as nations and as individuals;
and the still worse effects that must be eX
pected to ensue, if SO pernicious habit was
persisted in When their attention had been
fully called TO the subject, and every eye was
directed to the speaker. in order to prove
to them that it is solely the dread of the in
furious consequences resulting to them from
ardent spirits, that prevents our government
from distributing it freely, the vessels OF
whiskey were overturned upon the grass.

ever, cannot be questioned. Many will re-

sensible must they become of the considerable
and benevolent motives which could lead to
such step.
Neither the resolutions on the subject OF
alleged invasions of state rights by the gem

character, were called up or acted upon dur

the legislature against its annulment.

Internal improvement appears to be the
order OF the day. Canals, roads railways
and the removal of distractions from the
beds of rivers in the interior, seem to occupy
the attention of this body, more than any
other subject and we have good reason to
believe that more will be done for our west

Session.

SPAIN.-The king has ordered that

shall be required to declare their political

branch of the "purihcation system," which
has been extended to almost every class OF
society.
There is no confirmation Of the rumour
given On the authority of English papers,
that the Duke del Infantado would not be
able to maintain himself in his place. The
following language, on the contrary, which
terminates his note to the foreign ministers,
who it seems felt themselves authorised to
ask some explanation of the change in the
Spanish Ministry, is that of confidence.
"eihc legitimacy Of Kings" says this most
Legitimate Duke, comes from God, and in
virtue Of it they are the absolute masters
to effect in their kingdoms and among their
subjects, whatever changes they may think
proper without being bound to render an ac-
count thereof to any body on Garth, or to ask
the consent of other Sovereigns, and much
less of their Ambassadors"

the Inquisiton no longer existing, this estab-

besides his Holiness considering it impolitic,
under present circumstances, because the
cffervescence of the passions, added to hu-
man weakness, might sometimes render the
tribunal of the Inquisition hurtfu in the
hands of parties, BY turning it aside from the
holy and primitive object Of that Institution

that the Turks were still before Missolon-

the wrath and Indignation of the people

a taste for literature appears to be common to
many Of its correspondents. We'have looked

The brig Argus. at Providence from the At
rican Coast, reports that the King of Ashantee
still continues the wal with the English settle
men,s on the Gold Coast, to the detriment of all
merchants and to the vessels which visit that
Coast. The King OF Ashantee, with his army
of ten or fifteen thousand men, was at a place
called Boom, in the Aquapin country, about
sixty miles from AGRA. His intention was to
attack the latter place; but, having been SO
slow in his since leaving Camassey,
his capital, the English had collected a force
equal to the enemy's and superior IN equipment,
so that they did not fear his approach.--Had
he been expeditions in his march, he would
have overrun all AGRA before a force could have
been raised sufficient to withstand him. The
natives between AGRA and Ashan'ee, have all
fed from before the army under the King OF A
shantee, which has put a stop to trade; no gold
or ivory coming to the sea-board, on what is
called the Gold Coast.
