7HE NEWS OF THE WEEK.

The packet ship Columbus. at New
York, has brought news from Europe elev-
en- days later than previous advices.
In England provisions had advanced
greatly in price, but produce generally was
on the decline.
Charles X, Elk King of France, died at
Goritz, on the 18th Nov. aged 7S. The
nephew of the Duke of Angouleme was
proclaimed King of France by his family.
The young Prince Louis Bonaparte has
been banished TO America, in consequence
of the Strasbrrg affair. He was required
to give his word of honor that he will not
leave the United States within the next ten
years; he at first refused, but yielded on
being told that the fate of his ucconplices
depended on his compliance.
The affairs Of Spain are in the same dis
ordered state. The Charlist troops have
increased in strength, and have control of
a large portion Of the kingdom. The
siege of Bilboa was still carried on, with
every probability that the city would sur
render in few days to the Charlist's.
! A letter received at Paris from the Mex
lean Minister at the Court at Madrid, states
that treaty between himself and the Span
ish Government had been agreed upon for
the Recognition OF Menieo, and that it only
wasted the sanction of the Cortes. Ii Mex
leo is recognised, it is supposed, that all the
rest of the South American Republics will
be so likewise.

The following highly complimentary notice OF
the lecture delivered before the r. l. Historical
Society, at Providence, by gentleman who has
been residing in this town for some time past, we
copy from the Providence Courier Of Wednesday
last.
Historical Society lecture before the his
.orical Society last evening, was delivered by Hi
liam S. Eaitsr, Esq Of Newport, on the subject OF
the first settlement Of America. After showing
that it could not have taken place from either Eu-
rope or Africa, that the Western hemisphere was
hardly embraced even in the conIecures Of the an
clients, and vindcating to Columbus the undivided
honors of the greatdiscovery he heproceededto prove
by cogent and conclusive arguments that the first
inhabitants of this continent were of Asiaic ori-
gin, from their color, physical conformation modes
Of life, habits and customs religious worship and
opinions, language. &c.
listening to a discourse which surpassed that of
Mr. W. in learned and interesting research. 1t
was highly honorable to him as man Of talents
and scholar; and, although extended to the
length of nearly two hours, commanded the atten-
ton Of the audience throughout.
We express the wishes of many who were pres
ent in saying, that we hope to be favored by this
gentleman, before the conclusion Of the present
course Of lectures, with some farther results OF
his industry and eruditon relating to the subject
the present inquiry, many of the details Of which
time did not permit to consider at large.
The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1837-01-04

comes us to beware of a too early move
ment, as it might subject us, however un-
justly, to the imputation Of seeking to es-
tablish the claim Of our neighbors to a
territory, with view to its subsequent ac-
QUESTION by ourselves. Prudence, there
fore, seems to dictate that we should still
stand aloof, and maintain our present atti-
tude, if not until Mexico itself, or one of the
great foreign powers shall recognize the in
dependence ofthe new Government, at least
until the lapse of time or the course of events
shall have proved beyond cavil or dispute,
the ability Of the people Of that country to
maintain their separate sovereignty, and to
uphold the Government constituted by them.
Neither Of the contending parties can justly
complain of this course. I'y pursuing it,
we are but carrying out the long established
policy Of our Governmental policy which
has secured to us respect and influence
abroad, and inspired confidence at home.
Having thus discharged my duty, by pre-
senting, with simplicity and directness, the
views which, after much reflection, have
been led to take of this important subject,
have only to add the expression of my con-
fdence, that if Congress shall differ with
me upon it, their judgment will he the result
of dispassionate, prudent, and wise delber-
atisn with the assurance that, during the
short time ] shall continue connected with
the Government, ! shall promptly and
cordially unite with you in such measures
as may be deemed best fitted to increase
the prosperity and perpe:uate the peace Of
our favored country.

CONGRESS-.

The journal Of congress is yet barren OF
subjects of general interest. The specie
order, as it is termed, has been the subiec,
of some discussion, in the Senate, but nc
decision has taken place. Mr.. Clay has
introduced land bill, varied but little from
the one which formerly passed that body
but did not become law. The subject OF
steamboat explosions has been introduced
and we hope that what powers Congress
possess will be exercised to prevent such
wholesale murders, as are constantly taking
place through the abominabIe careIessness
of conductors, engineers, and the maker.
of steamboat machinery. The subject oi
coming gold dollars has been brougt up, we
think handful of them would be extremely
convenient, they would be abort the size
of a silver FIVE cent piece. The repeal OF
the duty on foreign coal is intensely opposed
as inconsistent with the compromise. The
President has sent a message to both hou-
Ises, communicating some information re-
lative to Texas. He is opposed to acknow-
Lodging the independence of that state at
present, and till it shall have been acknowl-
edged by Mexico, or some of the great pow
ers, or shall appear filter for self preserva-
ton than now. We rejoice that he has
come to such a conclusion.
