 of these lands as if they had all been ceded
 by Virginia. and they referred to the terms
 of the Virginia grants. He should not dispute
 titles with that ancient COmmonwe edith. Gen.
 tlemen might, if they pleased, suffer their
 minds to run on the line which separated Vir- ginia from North Carolina. all the number of leagues which had been claimed, even to the
 Pacific Ocean. But they would find that
 their grant would fall as having nothing to
 rest on belonging to Great Britain. That en-
 tire region which the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Duncan) 90 hODOrably and usefulIy re-
 presented in this House, had belonged to
 France down to the year 1763; it had sub l sequently been acquired by conquest, and
 had been sOlemnly recognized as belonging
 to the State of New. York.
 EIGHT DAYS LATER FROM LONDON. NEw-YoRK, Jan. 4. The packet ship Hibernia sailed from Lv-
 erpool On the 17th, bringing London papers
 to the 18th, and Liverpool to the l1th.
 The great subject, (says the Nsw-York
 Daily iAdvcrtiser,l which at present congresses
 the, attention of England, is the ChoLera.- 1 1t is now admitted that the disease has been
 introduced into Sunderland, and that mum 1 Der have died. The disease appears much milder than on the Continent, and every exer.
 ton Is making to prevent its spreading. The
 papers are filled by medical speculation, on
 the subject of it's being contagious.
 The municipal authorities of Cologne, Ca l lais, and other ports, compel vessels and per-
 sons from England to perform quarantine. l It was rumored that change was to be
 made in the British Ministry. The Morning
 Herald of the 18th says, no change of meas
 ures will take place Earl Grey may retire,
 in consequence of ill health.
 From Me Morning Herald, l6fhs sNov.
 l The reports relative to change of Minis
 try, which we alluded t0 yesterday, are still
 prevalent in the City. We suspect, however,
 that there is no truth in theu,-that they are, l in fact, mere inventions of the enemy. What
 would be the consequence ofa change of Min
 lstry, accompanied with a change of meas
 ures In the first place, the destruction of
 credit and a run upon the Bank. This mus,
 be followed by suspension of cash pay
 ments-a pretty beginning for new Minis try! But we shall have more to say on this
 head hereafter. In the mean time we shall I oDsy observe, that there is an opinion in the
 City that Lord Grey wishes to resign. ca ac- count of ill health,> which we do not think very improbable. But the public may be as-
 sured that there will be no change in the pol
 icy of the Government with regard to the
 question of reform, for this simple reason- there cannot. A Ministry not pledged to full and efficient, reform could not hold office week they would instantly he driven out of power by the force of public opinion, or by another description of force equally efficient, though not quite SO agreeable.
 Bristol, Nov. 14.-Notwithstandiog the amount of military force now in this city, we have every night proofs of its disorganized state, and the shameful neglect of the corpo- rate authorities in suffering place of SO great importance and containing SO great popula- ton, to be placed in so defenceless condi. ton with reference to any think like the pro- tect'on of civil power. Every evening after night.fall, the most dangerous characters prowl about, and except in the most public thorOughfares, the passengers are not secure from attack. A very daring attempt at incen- diarism was made late on Saturday night, or early on Sunday morning. by some rufians, who had gained access to the extensive prem Ises of Mir. Wild, in Ratcliff street, occupi- ed m the wine and spirit business. A woman fortunately made timely discovery of their horrible design.
 Cholera Morbus.-"I must confess it is too true that the Cholera Spasmodica. alias Asi- atic Cholera. has made its appearance in Sun derland; and what is exceedingly remarkable, the first cases, five in number, proved fatal l every means that human aid could suggest or supply proving altogether fruitless. Such, l am afraid, will be the case in the most aggra- vated forms of the disease have witnessed, | tne opinion being strengthened from the post mortem examination made in conjunction | with my friends, Dr. Hazlewood and MT. Mondey, the particulars of which, together with the report, having been laid before the | Board in London, induced them at once to de. l spatch Dr. Daun with commission to make ! such investigations as might set aside all doubt | as to the character of the disease. He arri- l ved here on Friday last. and as there were no | new cases on that day and Saturday. he was | induced to conclude that the disease was not the true Indian Cholera, though there was very ] conclusive proof horpe Oa( and supported bv l the whole of the medical hoard here. There- 1 tore. the various accounts in the London pa l pers must be through some private non med l !cai correspondent, the board being exceed l ingly careful not to alarm the minds of fthe nuh. ne unnecessarily. However, yesterday (Sun. { oay) new cases appeared, several of which 1 nave proved fatal. and these cases having af. | "rdsd Doctor Da0n an opportunity of wit- messing the disease, he declared openly totha 1 Board assembled that day at 8 o'clock. p.
