THE LATEST LONDON INTELLIGENCE. Ja a From the London Guardian of yesterday (Friday.) I PARIS, APRIL 23. It is expected that the business of the present session w ill be terminated towards the end of this week, and c at the second session will commbnce on Monday, li he second session will not, it appears, be opened by P speech from the throne. If any communication were y ade to the Chambers by the Crown, an address in d ply would be necessary, the discussion of which 6 ould take up much time, and give rise to many diffi- ilties; to obviate this, it is intended that the King r. ould close the present session in person by a speech 11 atn the throne, in which he will announce his inten- t on to convoke the Chambers for a second session, and iefly state the views of the government in adopting is measure. I hear that nothing will he said re- 1 lectitig the state of the foreign affairs of France; and the resolution to avoid touching upon them be per- sted in. it will be wise in the present uncertain situa- on of affairs in the East, not to speak of the Dutch j uestion. The Chamber of Deputies, on meeting for the second ssion, will immediately proceed to elect a president; hen the president has been installed in his post, the easures of the government will be brought forward. 'he commissions for examining them named, and an Jjournment for some days will take place to enable ie commissions to prepare their reports. Letters dated the 15th instant have been received from ladrid by a Cabinet courier; they say not one word of ie affairs of Portugal. It appears that the political and iplomatic circles of Madrid have their attention entirely tken up by the arrangements for the meeting of the ortes. Some of the members of the diplomatic corps rill not attend, and will even protest against the act; but do not hear that any will adopt- this course of proceed- :g but the representatives of the courts interested in the uccession, such as Sardinia and Naples. I suppose that tie representative of the Cabinet of the Tuileries will not bsent himself from the ceremony, much less protest, J; hough it is rumoured that he is not a stranger to the onduct of Sardinia and Naples. The Journal drs Debate givcs, as extracted from the iajectte of Auysbovrg, an article which is not in that iaper, relative to movements in the neighbourhood of Jracow. It appears that bands of Poles, organized in he forests, had fallen upon some Russian detachments nd cut them to pieces. Reinforcements having been o. ained, the Poles were finally defeated, and the most n- orotis measures have been adopted against the unfortu- ate inhabitants of the dis urbedJd,?t"utS; Mh'S i"J'e.lli" ence is dated Frontiers of Poland, h April, and has eached the Deba's by express.. The government has certainly received dispatches from Constantinople, dated the 81h list., but beyond the vague ssertion that they are of a favourable nature to French iews, nothing has transpired. FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS AND THE LONDON JOURNALS UP TO THURSDAY 7 ° CLOCK. The Gazette de France says:— Ihe last accounts rom Blaye are more and more alarming. lie Duchess If Berry has a diurnal access of fever, which comes on bout two o'clock, and does not leave her till the evening. ilersirength is visibly consuming away, and persons who iave had opportunities of observing the great change in ler countenance declare that she cannot live if she is de. ained in captivity another fortnight. This statement s widely different from the following, which we extract rom the Journal de la Cilie?zize. a Bordeaux legitimist' )aper of the 19th inst. :—" NVe learn from Blaye, that he health of Madame continues to be still in the same itate, or at all events it has not become worse within the ast few days." The dates of the Turkey mail of Thursday morning ire to the 28th ult. There was the greatest alarm at [Jonstantineple, on account of the confirmed intelligence >f the inarch of the ar'»y under Ibrahim Pacha, on the Turkish capital he had taken posses- sion of Smyrna with a detachment of 6,000 men. The nain body of his army was inarching upon the Darda. nelles, and the advanced guard is reported to he at a short distance from the principal fortifications. No re- :ent intelligence respecting the Russiun army had been received at Constantinople. ALGIERS, APRIL 10, 1833. On the 6th instant, at ten in the morning, there was a terrible earthquake here all the town was greatly ilarined by it; the shock was accompanied by a noise si- milar to a cart rattling over the pavement. Last week, the whole garrison was under arms intel- ligence had been brought by our scouts that the Arab tribes of the Atlas and of the plain of Mitidja were making preparations to come and attack us. They had rut off the head of an Arab belonging to one of their tribes, merely because he was accused of being a partizan jf the French. Orders in consequence were given to bt- an the alert, and by day-break the front forts were all strongly reinforced by detachments of troops of every kind. But the enemy did not appear. Two days after, in explosion having made it supposed that the fort de I' Ean was firing cannon to den.and a reinforcement, cavalry and infantry were rapidly despatched in that dir ction, but ifter an hour's march, they were countermanded, and the troops returned to their cantonments. Cjlonel Chobourg of the African Chasseurs, General Bro, and several staff Dfficers, proceeded to reconnoitre as far as the plains of Mitidja, but after having very attentively examined with their telescopes every direction, they were convinced that the Arabs had abandoned their intention of attacking us, For the plain was covered with flocks, which is always a certain sign that the Arabs have no hostile design. The commander in chwf par interim, General Avisart, is an old soldier of great experience his distinguished ta- lents and well known bravery make us dread but little the attempts of the Arubs. FRONTIERS OF POLAND, APRil, 11. Some serious events have taken place in the environs of Cracow, and have determined the Russian government to have again recourse to severe measures. A great part of the Russian troops had left Poland the remainder, which was on the frontiers or forming the garrisons of the prin- cipal towns, was estimated at 40.000 men. The prohibi- tion of having arms in one's house had been modified or forgotten, and the other police measures were but little attended to. But on a sudden, Russian detachments were surprized and cut to pieces near Cracow by Poles, who had organised themselves in the forests. They succeeded in insurging a few districts, but as soon as a Russian corps arrived, they were dispersed or taken prisoners; three of- their chiefs have been captured by the Russians. The principal chief, seeing no chance of escape, has poisoned himself. The country has been again disarmed the gar- risons of the towns and on the frontiers have been rein- forced; it is with difficulty that passports are obtained, even for the interior. Everyone is downcast, and it is ex- tremely difficult to obtain details on the events which have just taken place; scarcely any one dares speak of them. The situation of the inhabitants of the Prussian Duchy of Posen who have fallen into the hands of the Russians, is deplorable, especially for those not officers they are de. tained in Russia without being permitted to send a letter to their relatives.-Augsbui-g Gazette, from the Jour- nal des Dcbats.

THE DUTCH EMBARGO AND THE COAL TRADE. w- (From the Newcastle Journal.) I In our last publication we pointed out to our readers the alarming number of neutral ships at present employed in the carrying trade between this country and Holland. In addition to the ship owners, who are, perhaps, the I most materially concerned in the removal of the embargo, it would appear that its pernicious consequences are very likely to reach another most important interest in his dis- trict we mean the coal trade, rhe following is an ex. tract of a letter from a gentleman in Rotterdam to an emi. nent mercantile house in this town •' We have had the good fortune to buy a few thousand tons of Prussian coals, at only ten per cent, higher than they were last year, and I continue to get. from time to time, of the same kind. In the mean time the manufac- turers, distillers, &c. have so much accustomed them selves to Prussian coals, that I much doubt if the coal trade with England will again ever be worth any thing, even were the embargo raised immediately. The more the people here accustom themselves to German coals, which are like the Welch in quality, and therefore very fit for our general purposes, the less anxious will they be to return to your English coals. The Prussian coal is constantly getting cheaper, as the Prussian government is giving every encouragement to the trade, assisting in the formation of rail-roads, &C." Ay, doubtless, the Prussian government, like all good governments, protects and encourages the trade of its subjects, whilst the English government, with a weakness perfectly astonishing to" the rest^ of Europe, suffers the most vital commercial interests of the country to be de. stroyed. The extract from the Dutchman's letter shows, however, pretty clear!y that, unless the policy at present pursued as regards the commerce of this country with Holland, be altered, and that tpeedily, the coal owners will become as great sufferers aa the ship owners are al- ready.

wu*v wo, uuiTiini^ K PE AND LONDON MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, APRIL 23—Our imports, this wetk, re much lighter than for some time, and the advices (- rom Ireland concur in stating a considerable diminution i 1 their shipments. Besides a little improvement in the general demand for dieat, we ave again to note several speculative pur- r hases, chiefly in the finer descriptions; there has been [ttle or no improvement in prices, but less disposition to iress sales, and the market less ahundantiy supplied. licked samples of Irish red wheat have brought 18 2J to s 3d, and a cargo of Tralee 7s 4d per 70lbs the secon. ary descriptions are still comparatively neglected at s 9d to 7s. Fiour finds a steady, but not a free sale ite rates have been fully sustained, and in some instances I ather exceeded.

STATE OF TILADF,Tile woollen cloth trade of this district still continues remarkably flat for the season. Very little business was transacted at Leeds on Tuesday, particularly in the White Cloth jjall Leeds Intelligencer. We have lately been favoured with a sight of some nutmegs, mace, cloves, and black pepper, grovin in the Island of Trinidad, and are informed by a compe. tent judge, that the three former equal in quality those produced in the eastern hemisphere. The black pepper however, is much inferior. About 50,000 nutmeg trees have been lately planted in that island, with every pros. pect of forming an important and valuable item of its exports.—1Gnenoek Advertiser. Bitts OF AIORTALITY.-From the bills of mortality, just published, it appears that during the last year, there have been in the parish of Lherpool 7,767 8,129 burials and 2,659 marriages, being » decrease in baptisms of 100; an increase in burials 0f 824 and an increase in marriages of 94,. The greatest mortality took place in the months of July and August, the burials being in the former month 945, in the latter 969. This was during the prevalence of the cholera. During the other ten months of the year the average mor- tality was only 395. In Toxteth Park, Everton, and the vicinity, there were burials, 2,263; baptisms, 737 mar- liages, 185. The population in 1831 was, according to the census, Liverpool 165,221, the vicinity 40,760, total 205,981. Supposing that there has been no increase since, the total number of burials being 8,129, this would make the average rate of mortality about one in 251. Of the persons who have died in the town, 462 were between sixty and seventy, 275 between seventy and eighty, 130 between eighty and ninety, twenty-two between ninety and one hur.dred,and one 100 and ^P^as.—LiverpoolStandard. DEMOLITION OF THE GAOL OF TAIN.— THREE PRISONERS BURNT. It wai discovered this morning (the 15th instant) that the new gaol of Tain was on fire. When the alarm was given only the westin room was in flames but some delay took place in getting the gaolers to open the prison. Upon their arrival the keys were, after some contusion, obtained but, owing to some mistake in discovering the proper keys, the lire extended to the passage, and no access could be obtained to the prisoners in that portion of the gaol; and the consequence has been that George Alexander, architect in Golspie, and Angus Maeleod, vintner, both confined for debt, along with Macleod s wife, who came on a visit to him on Saturday, have been burnt to death. It was truly horrible to hfa1" their cries for assistance, before they were suffocated by the smoke. 1 he delinquents who were con6ned i" the towel" adjoining the gaol were all Raved, and allowed to, at large. Flic gaol and court- house, with the exception of the tower, are all burnt to the ground, and no part sftved, owing to there being no fire engine* in the place. It is believed the fire was occasioned by some ashes being placed in a wooden cinder bucket in the room where the tire originated, in which there was a considerable quantity of straw, which ignited and gave rise to (lie conflagration. The bodies of Alexander, and Maeleod and his wife, have been found in the ruins, but neither of them can be distin- guished. Had not the morning been calm and still, Ellison's hotel and stables would also have been dot roy- ed, as well as probably the British Linen Company's of- fices but every precaution was taken to prevent the fire from extending.—Scotsman.

MERTHYR 7 YDVIL, SATURDAY, April 27, 1833. We refer with feelings of sorrow and indignation 1 o the issue of the debate on Mr. ATTWOOD'S motion or an inquiry into the distresses of the country, Ind how far the same may have beea occasioned >v the operation of the present monetary system rhe general motion being negatived by a large majority, Mr. ATTWOOP then proposed an amend- ment, specially pledging the house to an inquiry into he distress of the country only, a motion to which lis Majesty's Ministers through Lord ALTHORP had jreviously pretended that they had no objection. Will our readers-will the great public of Great Britain credit it—the Reformed House, the Legisla- ¡ ture of our choice and our confidence, the Ministers t who for years past when out of office denounced the listress and demanded the inquiry, have turn- d their backs upon the petitions of the people, have denied the existence of distress and audaciously refused all or any examination into 1 its extent, causes and probable consequences. The debate is a sickening exhibition of hollow hearted patriotism and liberal cant oil the part of the rHOMSONS, the BURDETTS, and other loud mouthed spouters about liberty, and the rights of the people. We shall probably have some more to say on this subject next week.

His MAJESTV'§ Whig Ministers have at length brought before the House of Commons the financial Budget for the year. Upon a total revenue of X46,858,000 they allege a surplusof one million and a half, and are graciously pleased to make a reduction of taxes, by which they say they will sacrifice to the people: X 1,350,000. During the furious uproar which accompanied every step in the progress of the Reform measure, we were constantly told and we believed that this glorious Bill was a stepping stone; not an end, but a means to an end that the people were loaded with corrupt placemen and idle sinecurists, and bowed down to the earth under the oppressive burden of taxation and that this Bill was to diminish the corrupt placemen and reduce the load of taxes. Now the Bill has passed, the glorious men who first set it on foot are in power to give effect to its clauses: there is a Reformed Parliament chosen after the people's own hearts' con- tent; the Tories courteously withhold opposition the Whig Ministers, those bright specimens of mo- dern patriotism, have it all their way and we ask, was there ever such bare faced jobbing as is found in the FAMILY ARRANGEMENTS ? was there ever such brazen faced impudence as this much boasted and long promised relief from taxation ? Among the numerous boasts with which, in the zenith of their popularity, these Ministers threw odium on their political opponents, it was one not the least insulting, or the least effective in securing favor with the public, that they possessed, not only the honesty in promoting the public good, and the zeal for the people's welfare which were so desirable, but also superior knowledge (they call it science) ot the means by which that paramount object might be attained. They were philosopers, upon whom beamed a new light; and by the help of new discove- ries in political economy they were to revive our trade, to lighten our taxes, to rescue us from the jaws of ruin, and shower down upon us the bless- ings of a golden age. All who doubted the efficacy of that talisman by which these wonders were to be wrought, were contemptuously twitted as be- hind the intellect of the age stationary in mind while every thing around their, marched untaught in the new discoveries, and buried under the ancient prejudices," which M CULLOCII, BOWRING, ROEBUCK, and a host of equal quacks have proved to be obsolete," Now as these Ministers, with their great scientific attainments, have brought something very unlike prosperity upon the labouring classes, and as they have more especially failed in affording that relief from taxation which it was their great boast and pro* fession that they would afford, we may perhaps not unseasonably form some speculation as to what is practicable in the way of abating taxes. In the first place, it is an obvious truth, that though a tax of a certain amount upon any supposed object will yield a definite revenue, a tax of twice that amount will not yield twice that revenue; because there will be much less consumed of that object than there was before, I f for instance tea paid twice the tax that it now does, so many people would leave off tea and drink coffee, that it is even doubtful whether the revenue from tea would not be less than it is already. On the other hand, if the tax on this article were reduced to, half, although it by no means follows thatthe consumption of tea would un- less that happened the revenue from tea would suffer,) it does follow that a considerable increase in the con- sumption would take place, and that increase would go so far to abate the computed loss. But there is a point which it is important here not to lose sight of: and it is, that in every instance the purchasers of tea, having to pay less as the price o that articie, have more to expend in other articles, and in the tax upon these articles the revenue re- ceives another considerable portionjof the sacrifice, (viz. half the duty) that it made on tea. But the price of the articles, whatever they be, that are thus purchased, goes, or ought to go/nine times in ten,to 'orm the wages of British subjects; who would have no wages if this money had been at first swallowed upas duty upon tea. These persons spend thrfr wages 99 times in 100 within a week; and then part of i the money goes generally as a tax on what they buy md the remaining part forms wages (where otherwise < there would be none) to another set of British la- < tourers, who spend it as the others did, part going as £ tax,and the remainder as wages to British workmen; so 1 tilat,i n the constant circulation, which any proposed i amount (within certain limits, about olle-foul-til or c jne-third of the whole) remitted from British taxa- ) tion is constantly making, we have both a large ac- I n' session to the incomes of the labouring classes, and f i continual influx, through various other channels, t 11 nto the Exchequer, compensating, or nearly com- pensating in the course of the year the whole sum i ibated. We say that these men of light are either s reat dunces if they have not perceived this, or I something worse, if perceiving, they have not acted t upon it. c One inference that we may dtaw from this rea- ioning is, that in an active and commercial country, a such as England, a tax, suppose on the average of t 20 per cent, upon all conceivable objects, will yield tothe revenue as much, or nearly as much, as a 1 tax of 30 per cent, upon the same objects: and, ( when we consider the great relief in the enjoyments « of the people, and the still greater relief in the 1 facilities of conducting trade, which a substantial 1 abatement of taxes would afford, we do say that these "sham doctors" of the Whig cabinet have shamefully betrayed the confidence that the people have placed in them. It is needless to remark, that the larger the revenue on which the people have to subsist, the greater the amount that that revenue will yield to I the state, whether the taxation be heavy or light; but it is most important to obserre, that if the population and the revenue both increase, and the population increase faster than their revenue, their revenue, though it increase, will yield less to the state, because no tax can longbe realised but upon superfluities. Ten million men having three shil- lings a day, and able (suppose) to spend one shil- ling a day in superfluities, may afford a very im- portant share of revenue to the state sixteen million having two shillings a day, and able to spend (sup- pose) nothing in superfluities, will have a larger etggregate revenue, and yet can pay nothing to the state. And it is the constant labour of these philosophy ministers, by free trade and fifty other fooleries, to place the people as fast as they can in the latter of these conditions, and to place them- selves in a condition in which they must make taxes higher. We regret that the crowded state of our columns compels us to defer some further observations on this subject.

The French journals have been employing strong invectives against the Chamber of Deputies, for having found M. Lionne, the responsible editor of the Tribune newspaper, guilty of the libel on the immaculate Chamber. The maximum of the punish- ment prescribed by the law has been inflicted, namely, a fine of 10,000 francs, and three, years' imprisonment. The severity of the sentence has excited great sympathy for M. Lionne, and sub- scriptions are in progress to pay the fine. The whole affair was quite farcical, and will add to the unpo. pularity of the Government. The Monittur repeats an article copied from the Nouvelliste, which states that the Portuguese Go- vernment had given the satisfaction required by France, for the destruction of the French schooner Alcyon, by the batteries of the Douro. Don Miguel had dismissed the commander of the Portuguese battery on that occasion, and had consented to pay the damage incurred. Orders have been received at Toulon to prepare everything for fitting out a squadron. It is af. firmed that an English squadron would shortly ar- rive at that port to join the French equipment. The business of the present session will close immedi- ately, and the second session will commence in the early part of the next week. The accounts from Madrid are to the 15til inst- The political circles in Spain are entirely occupied with the arrangements for the meeting of the Cortes. Some disturbances have broken out at Badajoz, caused by the Royalist Volunteers, but were in a fair way of being suppressed immediately. From Por- tugal the accounts are much the same as our last. One of the schooners sent out to the Bar of Oporto with provisions has returned she is stated to have brought intelligence to the 11th instant; there had been no military affair since the 24th of March. The 8th instant was kept as a holyday at Oporto, being the anniversary of the birthday of Donna Maria, which was celebrated by a few illuminations, and the tiring of the batteries: and by way of add- ing a brilliancy to the scene, the guns of the Miguelites continued pouring in shot and shells. The Pedroites in consequence ceased their entertain- ments, in the expectation of a general assault upon the town—none however was attempted, nor had any taken place to the latest hour to which the news comes down, though it was momentarily expected. The inhabitants of Oporto continued in a dreadful state; assassinations and robbery were the order of the day. It is reported that a vessel from France with specie to pay Admiral Sartorius and his fleet, had arrived at Vigo. The Poles who lately quitted Besangon for Switzerland have petitioned the Helvetic Diet for permission to reside in the Cantons. Disgust at the inhospitable conduct they experienced from the French government appears to have been the sole motive for their departure. The latest intelligence from Germany represents the condition of the various States to be more tranquil. The city of Frankfort has been occupied by a detachment of Austrian and Prussian treops to assist \n the maintenance of public tranquillity. The Dutch journals mention the appointment of Count Von Sterum on a treaty to London to con- clude a definitive treaty with the Five Powers, but not with England and France separately. The King and Queen of the Netherlands have experienced an enthusiastic reception from their loyal subjects on their recent visit to Amsterdam. The situation of Belgium is deplorable; torn by various factions, King Leopold is without a minis- try, and experiences considerable difficulty to form an administration to carry on the affairs of this distracted country. The situation of things present a striking contrast to the unanimity and loyalty of the Dutch nation. The negociations offer no pros- pect of immediate settlement, and the embargo con. tinues to affect our commerce and shipping. The accounts from Constantinople are to the 1st inst. ltedschid Bey, who arrived on the 23d ult. at the Turkish capital, from Alexandria, had set out, accompanied by M. de TAren ties, Fi i-st Secretary of the French Embassy, for the head quarters of Ibrahim, with the authority of the Sultan, to con- clude a peace founded on the terms proposed by | Mehemet Ali to the Porte through ftalil Pacha, rite Augsbuigh Gazette of the 16th inst. stales that t was reported in Vienna that Mehcmet Ali had sailed from Alexandiia, with his fleet, in order to -o ;o-operate with Ibrahim Pacha in an attack upon Jonstantinople. The Russians are advancing on III sides towards the capital, and the advanced guard lad arrived on the 24th of March at Silestria. The °russian State Gazette of the 15th inst. copies a leclaration from the Journal of St. Petersburgh, re- atitffe to the negociations between Russia and Furkcy, which led to the anchorage of the Russian leet in the Bosphorus. It is an interesting docu- nent, and amply disposes of the gasconade of Admiral Roussin, and the vapouring of our good Parisian allies, about the dismissal of the Russian squadron upon the simple menace of the former, by bowing that the Russian Envoy had, nine days tefore the arrival of the Frenchman, agreed to witli- Iraw the auxiliary succour, since its presence seemed 10 longer necessary to the Sublime Porte, on iccount of the Egyptian Chief's apparent disposition o peace. The 31alia Gazettes which have been received his week, give the following accounts of the state )f Greece. The fortresses of Negropont have been lelivered up by the French to the Bavarian troops; :he French troops were all assembled at Navarino, :o await the, order for their return to France. Jamaica papers to the 9th ultimo have been re- ceived. There appears to be a continuance of the worst understanding between the Governor and the colonists. His Excellency has struck out of the commission of magistrates for Westmoreland, An- thony Whitelock, Esq., as bis name appeared in one of the union societies which the Governor had prohibited, but which were carried on with much vigour. In defiance of his Excellency's power these societies arc now extending all over the island. The accounts from the Mauritius are to the 20th of January. The excitement respecting the Orders in Council, and the expected at rival of the new Governor from England, to enforce the new regula- tions of the Colonial Office, or such parts of the orders as he may deem proper, continued excessive* The threatened visit of Alr. Jet-eiiiie was not ex- pected to takeplace for six weeks after the date of these letters, but the island was in a convulsed state* and there continued to he every prospect of a civil war of the most dreadful nature. In the meantime all the usual shipments from England are ordered to be suspended. The Mexican Mail which arrived in the course of this week brings 700,000 dollars for merchants' ac- count, and it is stated nearly four millions had ar- rived on the coast for shipment to the United State. and England the country continued tranquil, and commerce recovering. Several favourable reports of the mining concerns have been received. The latest accounts from Persia state that the long talked of expedition of Prince Abba Mirzato Chorasan has at length taken place. That province appeared latterly to belong to the dominions of the Shah in name only, and the object of the Crown Prince was to reduce it to obedience. The Prince's first operations were directed against lteza Khuli Khan, a powerful and rebellious chief, who on the approach of the Prince shut himself up with 2,000 infantry and 400 cavalry in the strong fortress of Amir Abod. The place is fortified with great care, and as the walls are immensely thick, it was thought it would hold out a long time, and perhaps baffia the attacks of the Persians. Notwithstanding these circumstances, and though the Prince's army scarcely amounted to 5,000 men, the fortress was taken by storm on the 18th July, after having been besieged 17 days. The moral effect which was pro- duced by this brilliant exploit in Persia, and also in Chorasan, may be of great advantage to the Prince, and probably prevent the opposition which, has been apprehended to his succession to the throne. According to the latest accounts lie had commenced the siege of the fortress of Kirchan, which still re- fuses to recognise the Royal authority. There have been strange rumours circulated in London relative to the discovery of an extensive plot in Bengal among the natives, for the purpose of expelling all Europeans from the Indian territory. It is reported to have been discovered by the merest accident, some of the natives appearing with unusually large sums of money, and accounting for the circumstance during intoxication in a very un- satisfactory manner. Bombay papers have been received to the 20th of December. The paper of the 15th states that an attempt had been made to fire the arsenal, which had been happily discovered. If the attempt had succeeded, the effect would have been dreadful, as there was at the time an unusually large supply of gunpowder in the place. Accounts from Rio Janeiro have been received, through New York, to the 28th of February, of rather an unfavourable nature. There had been some disturbances, and the exchange had fallen.

It appears by the commercial letters from Havre, that emigration from that port is going on very extensively. More than twenty American ships were in the harbour engagedJor the purpose of carrying emigrants to the United States, and each capable of conveying from 120 to 150 persons. Among the emigrants were noticed many persons of property from Bavaria and the German States on the Rhine, who were seeking in the soil of Ame- rica a place of greater political freedom. A very small portion of them consisted of persons of the lower class, such as usually go on board in search of employment, or in hope of bettering their condition. SHORT COURTSHIP!—Married on the 9th instant, by the Rev. D. M'Gilvray, on board the St. Catherine steam-boat, while on her voyage up Lochgoil, Mr. Archibald Thompson, to Elizabeth, daughter of Do- nald Campbell, Esq., of Sligherachan, Glenfinnan. The performance of this ceremony was the effect of the acci- dental presence of the reverend gentleman who married the happy pair. The martial music of the bag-pipes, combined with the fineness of the weather and thf pleas- ing scenery, proved irresistible; and as there is no effect without a sufficient cause, I would recommend to your fair readers to speculate on Loctigoil.-Coi,respgiident of Glasgow Herald.

Colonel Rotalde, a Spanish refugee, having lately died, the Spanish Consul proceeded to his resi- dence to claim his papers in the iiame of Ring Ferdinand's Government, but the Juge du Pnix refused to allow him to take possession of them, upon the ground that the Colonel having been proscribed by the Spanish Govern- ment, could not be considered as having died in f ranee under the protection of the consular :Ç('lIt of that (lo- vernment.
