APPREHENswE.-The London Times is in
tribulation for fear the newly discovered depos-
it of gold in Australia may attract the attention
and cupidity of Brother Jonathan, and fears that
he may be constrained from dipping into its re-
sources, by as few scruples as English citizens,
and those of other nations have manifested to-
wards California: 1t says:
AS soon as the Isthmus Of Panama is opened
by railway-perhaps before-Australia will
be at least as to the United States as to the
British Islands, and we know that Brother JON
athan is not over delicate as TO the means he
adopts to extend the power of the Republic in
the New World The New York Herald, which
is the Times of the Republic, openly declares
that the Republic will permit no European in
reference in matters relative to America, any
more than the Republic is disposed to interfere
in any European affair unles provoked to it.
If the miraculous stories about the gold in Aus
tralia be true, there will 500, be as many Amer
lean as British vessels in tn at part of the world
and an army of" diggers," ready with spade, ri
flo or bowie knife, for any undertaking that
promises to produce the almighty dollar" Un-
der such circumstances, Great Britain ought to
knit her colonies as closely as possible to the
mother country. We imagine that this is po-
sition that none will call in question.

A Proclamation.


By JOHN s. BARRY, Governor Of the State of Mich
igon.
In conformity with custom long established,
generally approved, and beneficial in its influence,
I, JOHN S. BARRY, Governor of the State Of
Michigan, have thought proper to appoint and,
by these presents, do appoint THURSDAY, the
t,centy-Sevenh day of November merit, as a day of
public Thanksgiving and Prayer, and do hereby
recommend to the people of this State to set apart
and observe the same accordingly; that they as
semble on that day in their several places of pub
lie worship, and, with just sense of dependence
and due appreciation of accountability, render
thanks to the great Ruler of the Universe for the
preservation of our Nation from foreign aggress-
ion and domestic convulsion, for continuance of
public health, for bestowal of bountiful harvests,
and for other browning mercies and, at the same
time, in humility, to ask continuance of the fa-
vors of Divine goodness
In WITNESS WHEREOF | have hcreunto set my
hand, and caused the Great Seal of the
State to be affixed, at Lansing in said
IL. ST. State, this twenty Fourth day of Octo-
Der, in the year of our Lord 1851, and
ofthe Independence of the United States
the seventy -siXth.
By the Governor JOHN S. BARRY.

Advces have been received from Palmas Ca
nary Islands, giving further particulars OF the
terrible pcstilence at that port, and confirming
the accounts whchw we recently published OF
the frightful mortality, which it had occasioned.
The dates are to Sept A, three weeks later than
our last advices
Since the disease first broke out, one-fflh Of
the whole population of $4,000 have been swept
off and the fever is still raging, though some
what abaled It is not thought to be the chol-
era, for it is very contagious; but it resembles
it, in the quickness with which death succeeds
the Iattack. 1t is supposed to have been bro't
to the island in small vessel from the coast of
Africa. The family Of the American Consul
(Mr. Torres) together with himself, are all dead
with the exception of one child. He was very
worthy man, and had several handsome and in
teresting daughters, who were great favorites
with the officers Of American ships that touch
ed there. Mr.. Torres sent them all into the In
terror upon the first appearance of the pesti-
ence but hearing afterward that some OF them
were sick, he started off to join them, and on his
arrival found them all dead, servants included
with the exception of the child here mentioned.
In less than five hours after he himself was II
corpse. The panic and distress on the Island is
inconceivabe. No communication IS allowed
with it from the adjacent islands, except from
Teneriffe, whence small vessel sails twice Il
week for letters, to port that has as yet esca-
ped the malady. Every precauton is taken, by
smoking the letters that are sent with brm-
stone, and dipping them in vinegar, and by put
ting the vessel in quarantine as soon rs she ar
rives in order that the disease may not be COM
municated to that island.

e55 During the past two weeks the CON-
merce of the Lakes has suffered severely in the
loss of shipping and lives. We unde rstand the
schooner p. Hayden, Capt. CARY, is ashore on
Lake Erie, with n full cargo of wheat; the
schooner Newboud, Capt. MAINE, was capsized
on Lake Michigan, with about thirty persons on
board, all lost The Newbould was on her pas
sage from Chicago to Grand Traverse, with a
full cargo of supplies for numbering establish
ment, at the latter place; we understand she
had eight yoke of cattle on deck. Several 9TH
err vessels have gone ashore at different points
on the Lakes of which we have not room to
give the particulars this week.

az Having lately been on tour up Grand
River, as far as lansing, in company with Mr..
HAWKS, of the Alegan Record, he being
gentleman of taste, and having heard him speal;
of the merits of the different hotels on the route,
we feel bound to set down friend IsHAM, of Ly-
ons, as No. one, in his new establishment with
every thing about him, with his sou-stirring, ac-
communicating disposition, he really takes the
shine off of everything in the line on Grand
River. Friends HUBBEL and IRISH, are equally
as attentive to the comfort of the way-worn
traveller, they are only excelled by friend IsHAM,
in larger accommodations and his better style of
fitting up, his extra fare. 1t was here for the
first time in our lives, we had the qualification
of seeing the Hacks devour chickens. it was
done by sezing the fowl with both claws, and
with the beak or bill, tearing the meat from the
bones in this case the chickens were so oily
and fat, as to leave shining marks on the lower
beak and breast Of the Hack in the place where
the ruffie used to be. We do not wish to de-
tract or lessen one bit the fair fame or reputa-
ton Of Messrs. HUBBEL, or IRISH, their Houses
are of the first class, and excel in bills of fare,
the best Houses at the Capital. Ionia and Ly-
ons has three good public Houses-and we say
that good, well regulated, orderly, we'll con-
Quoted public House, in village or town, will
do more than any other one thing, in extending
the name and fame of that village or town to-
ward the remote parts of the earth. Mr.. IsHAM
has set a good examples let all of our hotel
, keepers excel him if possible-on our northern
route there should be a line of good hotels.

AFFAIRS IN CHnI-By late arrivals we have
news of probable revolution in this most i'm
portant and hitherto most stable of the South
American Republics.
Don Manuel Mont, whom we have heretofore
stated to have been probably elected to the Pres
idential office, was duly inaugurated on the 18th
of Sept. But after the election and prior to the
Inauguration, viz: on the eighth of Sept, the
partizan friends of Gen. Cruz, the opponent of
Montt in the election, produced an outbreak at
Coquimbo, and took into their hands the govern
ment funds, and forced heavy loans, took the
steamer FREELY, the property of Mr.. Lambert,
an English resident, and sent her to Conception
to apprise their friends of their movements, and
incite them to action. Gen. Cruz, their favorite,
at length joined them, proclaimed himself their
leader, and marshaled his forces.
Gen. Bulnes, the predecessor Of Mont, was
commander-n-chief of the government troops.
The FREELY was re-taken by order of the British
Admiral, by the steam-frigate Gorgon, at Co.
quimbo. The steamer Arauco, in the service
OF the revolutionsts, was also taken by the COM
mander of the Goreon, on his own responsible
ty, and an indemnity of $4,000 was stipulated
for the seizure of the FREELY.
The American squadron was kept in readi-
ness by Commodore McCauley, for the defence
Of American interests.
Every effort was being made by the govern
ment for the SUPPRESSION of the revolt, and there
is probability of its success-but the struggle
must involve serious bloodshed, and sad dis
turbance, if even but temporary, of the CONNER
cial interests Of the country. 1t is deeply to be
regretted. Free Press.

The telegraph, published yesterday morning
announced the fact, that our Government had
received dispatches from Com. Morgan,n which
it was represented that Kossuth had manifested
spirit not quite in harmony with the character
which fame had awarded him. We know moth
ing of the matter, but presume that Governor
Kossuth and the American Commodore have
had some difficulty, and it is now to be welded
against him. What seems very strange to US
is, that so many Americans and others should
have seen and loved man who could so readily
render himself unworthy of American conf
dence. We do not believe word of the reports
in the papers. The estimates heretofore made
of the true nobility and goodness of Kossuth,
are not to be over turned by one petulent des-
patch from Commodore Morgan.

~ The town of Holland, in this County,
has hoisted the Democratic Standard in earnest.
At this, the first election at which they could
make fair show of their political opinions, they
have made the show Of ten good democratic
votes, TO one whig; so we have been informed
and as we believe correctly; Oft the official state
ment turns out different, we will correct the
above asserton.) Great efforts have be en- made
by some of the would-be-l leading wings of this
State, to lead this enlightened Colony on the
downward road to wing perdition; they have
failed in their efforts and purpose. The voters of
this Colony are generally reading community,
they are close, logical reasoners, and make up
their minds for themselves. It is very natural
that they should attach themselves to the dem
ocratic party of this County, for the eason that
they find that the party has been in pc wer three
fourths of the time since the democrats of 1776,
cast off and cut loose from kingly misrule, and
established our present form of government on
basis that now bids fair to endure forever ;
and for the further reason that they find with
the wealthy wing aristocracy of this ountry and
with their whole retinue of dependents for po-
litical purposes, that they have common feel
ing, and common sympathy with the kings,
tyrants and aristocracy Of Europe.

The Heralds Washington private correspon-

Navy department from Commodore Morgan, to.
gether with private letters from highly respect
able Americans abroad, which are calculated to
dampen the enthusiasm in behalf of Kossuth
The dispatches will be laid before Congress by
the President at the earliest opportunity.
A correspondent Of the Courier and Enqui-
rer, writing also from Washington, states that
the Spanish government exhibits additional anx.
iety in its dispatches, by the last steamer, to
obtain satisfaction for the injuries inflicted upon
its Consul at N. Orleans. 1t is thought that
when satisfaction is given, the American prison.
ers, now in Spain, will be released The wri.

that no appointment of Minister to France, to
succeed Mr. Rives, will be made during the
present administration, unless our relations with
