Lord Redesdale And Chance...
The Times, 1824-02-26T00:00:00

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMIES. Sir,-When Mr. Peel mentioned Lord Redlesdale as oine of the Commissioners to investigate the abuses of the Court of Chancery, the gravity of the house was discomposed, and a general laugh was leard, at which MIr. Peel express- ed hi3 surprise. The public, however, think Mr. Peel's surpriser more extraordinary than the laugh; for is it lIkely that a man whom the present system has raised from tbe situation of a clerk to the Peerage, the seals of Ireland, and a large pension, will be disposed to look very minutely into the defects of those institutions which have done so much for himself ? Lord Redesdale, moreover, has to thank Ministers for some good things given to his relations lately, which must bias hiim, in spite of the most perfect integrity, to tak-e the sarne -views they take upon all subjects to which they at- tach importance. A clerk in the Treasury, a cousin of his Lordship's, has recently been put over the heads of all the petsons connected with the afairs of taxes, into the luc.a- tive situation (with an excellenthouse and manv perquisites) of Chairnman of the Board, upon the superannuation of Mr. Lowndes. This place has usually been given to an experienced barrister; but if a clerk is adequate to its duties, might not a proper man be found in the office, wlho had spent his life in the business of it, and who might fairly expect promotion? Another cousin has received, wvithin a fewl days, the presentatioen to a lving in Suffolk, from the Lord Chancel- lor ! Both these young gentlemen may be very respectable persons, and Lord Redesdale is a very respectable man: thc nation owes him some gratitude for the pains he took about the Insolveit Act. WVhatever may be the opinion of the merits of that law, his exertions on that subject showed that he was not sitisfied, as too many are, with attempting no public benefit in return for the great ad- vantages he had personally acquired. However, for this purpose a more objectionable man could not be found: besides, his great age should exempt him from suchservices, thougb it sceins lawyers, long past the age of man, are deemed fit for any employments to which Lord Eldon pleases to name thern. I am, &c. ONE OF THE l,AUGRERS I LORD RJ5ESDATIE AiO CHANCERY ABUtSER.

Ncw York papers to the Ist inst. inclusive, were received yester. day. The question of the old Spanish colonies appears to excite much intprpet in Czngrp;s On the 9Aeb ult. a resolution was agreed to in the House of Representatives, for "c alling on the President for "any informationhe may possess (and which may be disclosed with. "outinjuryto the public good), relative to the determination of any "Sovereign or Sovereigns to aid Spain in regaining her American "colonies,and the dlisposition of any other European Power to oppose "it." Adviceshadbeen received atPhiladelphiafrom Porto Rico, of thatisland, since the release of FERDINAwD, having anew declared its dependence on Spain, and that a vessel had sailed from thence for La Guayra, with a flag of truce, but for what purpose was not known. A report from Mlexico, mentioned in the last arrival from New York, of the surrender of the castle of St. Juan de Ulloa to the Mfexicans, is now declared, as we expected,to be premature; and a vessel wvhich sailed from theport of Alvaradoon the 4th of Decem_ ber,had brought intelligence that the firing on the cityrecommenced on the 2d. The Government at Mexico had received intelligence on the 2tth of November, of the arrival of the Spanish fleet from Ha- vannah. The prices of American stock at New York on-the 31st uIlt were as foUows :-6 per cents. of 1812, 1021; of 1814, I05; of 1815, 108; 3 per cent8. 79 to 80.

The Irish newspapers report an attempt to murder a gentleiiman of the county of Limerick, at his o.vn door, which was frustrated by the resolution, and it nmight have been addcd, by the exemplary agility, of a female, who jumped out of a two pair of stairs window to call out for assistance ! The help arrived in time to secure the in- tende(d murderers; but, nevertheless, few ladies, we sup- pose, bave been driven to so desperate an expedient for acquiring tlib use rf their tougue.

The Times, 1824-02-07T00:00:00

NVew York papers to the 16th ult. were received yester- day. Of their contents the South American intelligence Occupies the most prominent place in point of interest. A vessel had arrived at New York from Laguayra, which left the latter place on the 22d of December. The inhabitants of that town and of Caraccas were apprised of the supposed intentio- of the members of the Holy Alliance to reduce them to the subjection of Spain, but felt no apprehension for the result of such an attelapt. The long war just ended had bec-n the means of creating for them a namerous army of well-disciplined troops, with which they were confident of being able to resist any force that could be sent against them from Europe. The fortifications on the sea coast wvere repairing with all expedition, and the strong hold of 'Puerto, Cabello would, it is said, be shortly ren- dered impregnable. Generals PAEZ and BEsUUDEZ en- tered this place on the 1st of December, with the brave troops who effbcted its conquest. The foreign merchants at Laguayra, natives of Spaini and of the Canaries, wvho have been expelled the country by a late decree of the, Colombian Government, lad petitioned the Intendait -to bellowed to prolong their stay a suffiedeat time -to set-, tIc their affairs, in which they were joined b-y several Colombihus houses, who were deeply interested Rn the sub- ject. The nature of the Indendatt's reply is not stated. The Venezuela frigate, Bolivar corvette, and a 64-gun ships sailed from Laguayra on the 19th of December, rith mili- tary stores for Puerto Cabello, and another frigate with a schooner were taking on board stores for the sarne place. In a New York paper of the 10th ult., under the head of intelligence from Canada, it is stated that the Legislature of the Lower Province have passed resolutions, declaring -1. That it is axpedient further to regulate by law the co.nmercial intercoarse of the Province with the United States. 2. That the illegal importation of tea and East India gooAs fromn the United States, is carried on to an ex- tcnt highly injurious to the revenue of thte Province; and 3. That the evil cannot be checked by law, ant is en- tirely owing to the great diffcrence in the price of those articles when imported from England, or purchased in the United States. The Legislature had, therefore, further re- solved to petition the British Government to authorize direct importations from India, by the inhabitants, through an arrangement with thie East India Company, or that they may be permitted to supply theniselves from the United States, on the paymeDt of a reasonable duty.
