WVe have received Charleston papers and letters to the 25th of January. A vessel arrivetl there from V'era Cruz had brought intelligence that the troops in the eastle of St. Juan te Ulloa were nearly reduced to extremity for want of provisions, and that disturbances had in cmsequence taken place among them. Another vessel, from Alvarado, had communuiicated information, that on the arrival in Mexico of the news ofthe overthrow of the Constitutional systetn in Spain, two of the fortifiet p:aces in the interior had declared for FERDINAND, but this latter fact is consitlered to rest on very doubtful autiority. A fire took place at Savannah, in Georgia, on the 19th of January, which destroyed nearly a whole street of that city, and caused inuch loss to private individuals. A desttuetivc fire has also occurred in the town of Colombiaa. LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 182.

WVe copy the following from rr evening paper "Atccounts 1aVe Teachid town of the ileath of Mr. ScarIett, the King's Counsel, and Mlember ot parliarhent for Peterbor6ugh. He died at York, on Taursday morning, where he was attending his professional duties. He bad been previously indis&osed, but not so nuch so as to create any apprehensions for his life. ' The public wil learn with feelings of sorrow the un- expected death of this very eminent Barrister. For our- selves, when we reflect upon the great space which his eloquent pleadings constantly occupied in our columns, and think, that from henceforth we shall see his name no more in the proceedings of the courts, we cannot but be deeply affected by the sudden change. In how many con- cerns of private life, in how many affairs connected with the public weal, was this gentleman but lately engaged; and nov he is at once and for ever separated from this world and its business. Such an event as this should teach men the vanity of excessive esertioin in all human pursuits. Yet, if we inight be allowed to view Mr. SCARLETT at this momonit of public feeling as he will be viewed by persons yet to come, and by those to whom he wvas only remotely 'known, and -who therefure car. take no lively interest in his fate, we should say that his lot in life has not been an unhappy one. He was, we believe, born in a state of affluence. He might have remained content with the goods which fortune bestowed on hiin at his birth: ambition spurred hilm on to a more active course; he chose a life of labour; but in the hopes of attaining those ho- nours which are usually showered down on the more in- dustrious adventurers in his profcssion, he sacrificed no principle, he betrayed no political attachment; and he has, therefore, died with an untitled name. But say, ye Lawyers, wllo have made wreck of faitlh-have violated every professioni and engagement-lhave even turned the wvhole course of your previous lives, and transferred your regard to those of wlhom you had before spoken with lha- tre(i and contempt, whether the distinctions which you have thus attained afford you unmingled satisfaction? iMfr. SCARIETT also died in the course of nature: the professional toils to which he subjected himself may have impaired his constitution, but they did not disturb his un- derstanding; and what more can be desired of human life, than that we should pass through it with an untarnished reputation, and quit it without violence? Its duration imports but little to those who consider to how many weaknesses it is subjected, more particularly in its decline; and how small a proportion, eveni when prolonged to the utmost extent, it bears to that state to which we are transferred.

Count Confalonieri.
The Times, 1824-03-20T00:00:00

We lhave received a letter datedt Edinburgh, March 15, and signed " Bossi," respecting this ill-used nobleman: we cannot find room for more than the following ex- tract " I declare that it is an utter falsel/owd to say that the Count Confialonieri wished tO betray his own party. If it was to, we, his friends, would be the first to abandon him; but his honour, his courage, and the vigour and firmness of his character, are too well known to his countrymen, for them ever to conceive a doubt so in- jurious to his reputatimn. These qualities, and his well-known opinion in favour of national independence, rendered Iiini in the be- ginning one of the principal objects of fear, and now of hatred, of o'ir oppTeesors. After he ha5 been condemned to finish his life in a miserable dungeon, they attempt to deprive him of the only good that remains to him-th e reputation of an honest man. They have caused to be inserted in the French ultra jouranls (and the English papers have repeated it), that the Count (onfalonieri was accused by the pRblic voice of having been the assassip of Prina. This is also an utter falsehood. N'o motive could ever have induced such a man as Confalonieri. whose public and private conduct has always been that of a man of honour. to lend his hand to so base an assassina- tion ; besides, Confalonieri, far from beinig the personal enemy of Prina, had no acquaintance with him. The insurrertion in a of the 20th of April, 1814, was first directed against ar arbitrary decision of the Senate of the Kingdom of Italy, in which Prina had taken no part; but after the people had gained their object, a part of the mob directed itself against the person of Prina, who fell a victim to the fury of the people, who had been for a long time op- pressed by many Yexatimusmea;SUes, adopted by this unhappy Ali- nister of the Finances. The pamphlets, or rather the infamous and anonvmous libels, which were published at that timne against the Couni Confalonieri, have not dared to mention this calutmny. They would not have failed to invent and to proclaim it, if they had been able to give it an appearance of truth. I *' B~~~~"E2NGNTO BOSSI." COUNT CONFALONIERI.

A petition was yesterday agreed to by a meeting of the inhabitan:s of the ward of Bridge, against the window-tax. WVe are only surprised that suich assemblies, for the same object, arenot universal throughout the country; and that a tax under which every man, pxcept the opulent, must of necessity wince, should be treated by such numbers as a matter of complete intifference. If the people do not pe- tition, is it to be supposed that Alinisters will murmur for them ? If they do not set their own shoulders to the wveight, can they imagine that it will roll up hill by virtue of some new pinciple, the reverse of gravity?

The Times, 1824-03-10T00:00:00

A short but striking pamphlet has been published by Count PEccltio, on tlle present state of his wretched coun- try under the Austrian domination. Italy, long a reproach to her own people, is now a disgrace to Europe, to the policy wvhich betrayed, and to the heartless tyranny wlhich enthrals her. Tle Emperor of AUSTRIA, who loves loyalty rather than learning, may. in his ignorance of history, not know in what colouIs the despot wearing a crown-or the crowned instrument of despotic MIinisters-has in all ages been painted to mankind, fiom the momeit 'at which his hand became too weak to wield the sceptre, or to sign a warrant of execution. The details of Count PECCHIO are too melaDcholy for us to repeat them. Some proceedings of the Austrian Court at Milan were arraigned in Parliament on the first day of the session, and ingeniously glossed over by Mr. CANNING; but the trials of Count GONFALO- MERE and his friends, notwithstanding such technical de- fences as we have heard of the Austrian method of admi- nistering justice, have made a profound impression upon the public mind of Italy. WVe insert a letter upon that subjecq which confirms some preceding accounts, anal showvs the scarcely conceiiable impolicy with which the German rulers of that fine country have been acting; unless, indeed, we are to drawv the consolatory inference, from the pains thus taken to exasperate her victims, that Austria does not hope to retain the power of tormenting them. Leta French forcebeassembled towards the Alps-and what follows? Yhy, a grievous illustration of the wisdom of those Eng- lish statesmen, whn of their own accord placed Italy in such a condition, that the most practicable and popular cure for her sufferings was to be sought for in the power of France!

The Duke and Duchess ot Glocester had a grand even- ing party on Wednes(lay evening to meet their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, Prihce Leopold, the Duchess of Kent, &c. The company were gratified with the performance on the grand piano-forte by young AMpull, the musical child only 8 years of age, who lately had the lhonour of performing before the King at WlTindsor, when his Majesty was so much astonished and delighted with his performance, that he commanded him to play before him a second time. The rumour of the detention of the Company's ships at Canton had, it was tlhought, some effect on the East In- dia Stock yesterday, though the depressed price at wlich that commodity was quoted may rather be ascribed to the general state of the money-market. The rumour turned out to be unworthy of any credit. It was a recoction of theold story. Not one respectable house had the least intima- tion of such an event, and it was totally disbelieved at the India House. The attention of the English capitalists has at length been drawn to Wfeland. A company has been for some time forming under the auspices of the leading Irish houses, for working collieries and mines in that country, which has- been ascertained to abound in coal* and mine- rals. The undertaking is wvarmly seconded by. the most distinguished of the nobility and gentry connected. with, Ireland, as also by the prihicpal Londop companies hold- ing large landed properly in the islan. From the progress. already made, there is every prospect of a favourable ro- sult. The bill for incorporating the company is to be read a second tlmc in the house this evening,
