FROM Bumvos Aimee.--The brig Noble,
arrived at Baltimore on S8_ll1l‘dflj'i in the '9'
tnarkably quick passage ‘of56 days fr. Buenos
Ayres, having sailed from that port so late‘ as
the first oflast month.
Death of Mr. Rodney-Tire papers ‘coin-
inunicate the melancholy intelligence of the
death of the Hon. C. A. Rodney, American
Minister at Btreiios Ayres. He died suddenly
on the 10th ofJune, at six in the moriiing,and
was buried with appropriate marks of respect
on the following day. His faiirily were to
rake passage for Philadelphia on ‘board the
brig America, captain cal, to sail in :1 few
days after the Noble. The Buenos Ayres
Mercantil which announced the death of Mr.
R. is clothed with the emblems of mourriinrr.
The French. ex nedition, under Captain Du-
perre, had made some iniportantdiscoveries
ofislands in the Pacific Ocean.
PF.RU.——Thé Argus oftlrelast date contains
some interesting official documents fr. Peru.
It appears, by a proclamation dated at Oruro,
on the Qlst March last. that L0. Scrna has of-
ficially relinquished the post. of Viceroy ofPe-
rn, and announced his intention to return to
Spain. His reasons for this course are given
at length in the documents to-which we have
alone alluded. The stibstaiice of them ap-
pears to be, that, inzismrrch as :1 royal order
has been received from King Ferdinand, de-
claring that all acts of the gov’t. of SD11!" U3-
twcen the 7th of March, 18°20, and the riiontli
ofOctober 1823 (the period of the existence
ofthe late constitutional system) shall be con-
sidered null and void—-tliat his own appoint-
ineiitofViceroy, having been made within
that period is also void. V
Aletter received at Buenos Ay_res fr.Lima,
dated 19th April. states that Bolivar has paid
the Navy in the Pacific tip to that date, and
mat Irewas at Truxillo with 15,000 men, and
General Sucre at Huacho, with 8000. This
account may be exaggerated, but the first we
well know has not less than 10,000, _and the
latter 5000.—-lVe also know that he is daily
receiving reinforcements.
Fitom Cnini.-—Late advices from Chili
state that the‘Hon. Heman Allen, otir Minis-
l€_’|' to that government, was publicly received
and acknowledged on the 9..°2d ofApril. He
‘was introduced to the Stipretire Dictator by
the Minister of Foreign Relations, who, on
presenting him, spoke as follows:
6‘ _Mo_c£ Excellent St'r——I have tliclionor of
presenting to your Excellencythe honorable
Heinaii Allen, Minister Plenipotentiary of
the United States, near the government of
Chili, How satisfactory the circumstance
must be to me, will be estimated from the iii-
tcrcst which your Excellency, the alttltorilies
and the people of Chili take in drawing close
the relations of friendship, with the great na-
tion which has been the. first to recognise otir
independence-—w’hicli, placed at the front of
the. Anierician continent, will forev_er be the
safegtiard ofliberty; and which, by its act of
generous justice, by the wisdom ofits institu-
tions, and by the virtt’ies ofits citizens, coin-
rnands otir admiration and otrr gratitude.”
Immediately upon this, Mr. Allen deliver-
ed to the Supreme Director his letter of cred-
cncc, and pronounced the following address.
“flfost Excellent Str—-The United SUITES
should she be able to discover and pursue the
means for drawing close the relations of
friendship and interest between the two na-
tions; for this alone would be sufficient to per-
petuate her tranquility and liappiuess. In the
meanwhile, your excellency and your iration
will accept the gratitude ofthe people ofChi-
li, for the géiierotis acknowledgment of their
independence--for the favourable disposition
which, in relation to these new States,is nian-
ifested by the President in his late Message
to the Sovereign Congress ; and for the hon-
or wh'icli is conferred on them, in the nrission
of your excelleiicy.” '
Faom GoLo:.tni.i.—Late advices from Co-
loinbia are received by an arrival at Norfolk
from La Guayra. The Colombians were ma-
king the most active exertions to send rein-
forcements to Bolivar, in Peru. Gen. Mon-
tilla had arrived at La Guayra for the purpose
oforgaiiizing the new levies and ofexpediting
the departure ofthe reinforcements.
Capt. Chase, of the schr. Stintandcr, was at
Laguira, and had succeeded in getting all his
prizes condemned, among them was the schr.
Mechanic, of Philadelphia, cargo estimated
at $70,000, which vessel he had captured on
her passage from Key VVest, (where she had
toticlred a few days previotis from Havana,and
changed the character ofher goods,) bound to
a Spanish port in Cuba. No nieasurcs were
had (nor intended to be liadiagainst the vessel.’
In relation to this last paragraph, it may
be’ observed, that in a pamphlet re-
respecting the regulations of the Colombian
Governuie t for privateering_, published in
Philadelphia within a few days, by Mr. Lticas
Marketstreet, the writer, who seems to have
had early information on the subject, states-
‘ lst. ThatCaptaiii Cnasr: acted in strict
accordance with the letter and spirit of the or-
dinance of his ‘government for the regulation
of privateeriiig, and Qdly, that the cargo of
the Mechanic has been regularly condemned,
as lawful prize, by the competent tribunal at
Laguira, the papers produced establishing,
and the captain of the Mechanic at last ad-
riiittiug, the cargo to be Spanish property.’
Tire preface to this pamphlet, in allusion to
an annunciatzibn in the public papers, that Mr.
Watts was the bearer of instructions to otir
Minister at Colombia ‘ to ask from the Co-
lombian Government redress for the injuries
committed on our commerce by privateers of
that nation, and particularly the Gen. Saman-
dcr,’ and that Mr. Watts would probably land
at Lviguayra, ‘ for the purpose of reclaiming
all American property unjustly detained,’——
contains the following paragraphs:
‘ The article quoted above speaks ofthe in-
juries committed mi American commerce by
Colombian privateers, and particularly by the
Gen. Santander. This is assuming what has
no existence in fact-.Hmerz'can commerce has
not sustained injury in this way. The Gen.
Santarider captured Spanish property, in an
American bottom, the cargo was condemned
according to law, the vessel was returned to
the captain, who acknowledged the cargo to
be Spanish, his freight was paid, and here the
matter as it regards the Smilmtrler aird Co-
lombia ends—Ifthe underwriters granted iii-
suraiicc on a false representation, ofthe cargo
being .r2mer1't'mr, they will no doubt be held
harmless, as the deception would vitiate the
policy—-—Btit if they granted insurance know-
ofAmcrica being deeply impressed with the ‘in;-, it to be Spanish, covered by an ./lmerican
importance of the events which have released
this country from foreign domination, unden-
abled it to assume a rank amongst the nations
ofthe ear-ih, have, throtrgliout this moment-
otis struggle, so far as comported with its neu-
tral character, been in the constant exercise
of friendly relations ; and at a time best calcu-
lated to give effect to the act, in the most sol-
emn and tinconditional manner, i'ecog_riized
the independence of Chili, and commissioned
me, as its representative, to residenear its
Court. for the purpose of cultivating the rela-
tions ofpeacc, and frieiidship, and for the in-
tercliange of nititually kind otlices, on terms
of the most perfect reciprocity between the
two nations. 4
“ In the progress of this great work, assum-
ing, as is hoped, for its only basis, the sover-
ci';,rril_i/ of lhepeoplc, and the cgual and ~.'nnli'e-
nable rights ofman. all the sympathies of my
country are most deeply engaged. Difficult
and arduous may yet be the course which re-
mains for Chili to pursue; htrt a free people
will never despair. True to herself, and just
towards others, she may bid defiance to any
conli'li'on. which may threaten her repose.
“In the mild system ofher laws,in the free
and enlightened institutions of her country,
and in the just and liberal exercise of friend-
'ly relations with other nations, Chili, it is be-
lieved, is destined to enjoy not only happiness
' at home, but to occtipy a distinguished rank
"amongst the nations ofthe world.
“ Guard well, then, an inheritance of stich
high value; else, vain and ineffectual will
have been the expenditure ofthe public treas-
iire, which has thus been created ; else, vain
will have flowed thus freely the blood ofyour
heroes ; nay, else, posterity might weep for
your imbccility, ifyou suffered these inestiiii-
able blessings to pass from yoti, but with the
last ray ofyoiir existence.
“ Anew era has arrived. Ignorance and
superstition, the very bane of civil liberty, are
every where giving place to virttie and intelli-
gence ; and the progress ofthe human mind,
before which tyrants tremble, bids fair to de-
molish oir its course, these self-created poten-
trites, and to restore man to the rank and dig-
nity which his Creator allotted him. Shall
we, thcn, by otir exertions, assist in the com-
pletion of this fair fabric, or stipincly stiffer
, the stiperstriicture to be destroyed ? Chili, it
is believed, like the UnitcdStates ofAinerica,
would not fail to embrace the former.
“From the representative ofa free people,
whose soil, like that of Chili, is tinpoluted by
the hand of tyrants, these sentiments have
been elicited : may they be received in that
spirit offriciidsliip with which they have been
submitted ; and, under the Divine protection,
may the tree of liberty which has been reared
in this highly favoured land, and consecrated
by the blood oflieroes, continue to be water-
ed by the (Jews of Heaven, expand, and bear
rich fruit to the i-emotest time ;and never,oli!
never, may it be said oftlris rising ‘Republic
-—she once was free——slie once was happy—
‘she once was independent.”
The Supreme Director replied as follows: '
“ The Government of Chili is happy to re-
cognise in yntir Excellency the worthy Min-
islet‘ ofthe United StatcsofAmerica--oftliat
great and respectable nation, whose laws and
whose civic virtues will -ever be the admira-
jlag. llteir loss will not excite much pity.
‘ Mr. IV:itts will not find at La Giiuyra, ‘A-
inericair property unjustly delamed’ for should
there be any property really .dmerican,lia_ving
been captured, it will the moment it is ascer-
tained to be such, be restored even without the
interference of Mr. VVatts, as the constituted
authorities of Colombia are scrupulously ex-
act in this respect.—-I-Ic may, indeed, find
wliat was once Spanish property, taken in A-
merican bottonis, btit which, being fairly tried
and coiideinned, never will be surrendered.”
Extract of a letter dated ./Iguarlilla, July 5.
“ On the 191th of Jtinc an American her-
iiiaphrodite brig, laden with coffee, and indi-
go, from Laguayra to some port in the United
States, was boarded nffthe Mona by a pirate,
and carried to one ofthe Mona Islands, where
they forced the captain and crew to unload
and nririg her, then sunkvthe vessel and mur-
dered every soul on board. On the 15th of
June, a sloop frorri hence to Moyagues, with
a merchant from hence to Cabo Roxo, _was
chased by a row boat offRiocon,tlie bticaneers
came so near the sloop that Mr. F. (the trier-
chant) fired his pistol at them, after they had
fired several inuskcts at the sloop : luckily he
hit the fellow at the helm, who cried out to
the iireii, that he was wotiiided, and must re-
ttirn on shore. Which they did,and the sloop
escaped. This information, and another that
goods were smuggled on shore at night, indu-
ced the colonel, who commands the troops
stationed from Ponce to Arecibo, to engage a
small vessel, which with 20 men and an offi-
cer, lie sent in quest of the pirates. They
soon saw a sloop, which they gave chase to.
Seeing they could not escape, the pirates rtin
the sloop on shore on one ofthe Nlona Islands,
and rtiii in the bushes. The soldiers followed
them; they made. a stand to defend them-
selves, when the second in command, :1 Por-
tuguese by the name of Gofresio, lost his hand
and got a mortal wound in his head, ofwliicli
he died. Several ofthe crew were wounded,
also the captain ;htit he and most ofthe crew
escaped. Six have been made prisoners.whoin
with the dead Portuguese, they took to Maya-
gucz. '1‘liey have given the information a-
bous the American schr. brig ; yesterday they
passed Aguadillrt on their way to San Juan.
The head and hand ofthc Portuguese will be
exhibited at Mayaguez, on a pold. So this is
one less. The six are all young fellows from
the island, and their captain an inhabitant of
Mayaguez, in good circumstances. A de-
tachment has been sent also, to Rincon to
search the houses ; they found six fellows and
a quantity ofindigo, coffee, and 20 bis. floor,
which they seized, with one of the gang, five
having escaped. This is all the news that 1
can give you.”
, PROVIDENCE, Aug. l0.—Ar. brig Orono,
Gordon, Tobasco, 9.6 days. On the 14th of
June, being about 8 leagues E. of Tobasco,
the Orono was chased by a piratical
schr. btit outsailed her-—-next morning in
sight she boarded a Spanish brig, and next
evening boarded the Catharine, of N. York,
took out all the crew, confined them in the
hold ofthe piraticalboat, robbed her ofall her
provisions, clothes of seamen, spare rigging,
&.c. 8:. were about unbending the sail when a
tion of the world. Happy will it be for Chili
isinall sail bore in sight, which deterred them.
/
The ‘captain swore that he would have‘ the
Qrono iflre cruised after her a month. The
O. escaped by entering the port in the riiglit.
Two days after, the ‘pirate appeared off the
port, and was taken by an armed brig, the
captain and crew however escaped to their
rendezvous, where they had a droger. On
the lltli ofJ_uly.thcy. attempted to ctit out the
Orono, but were taken, and sent to Tobasco.

The COLUMBUS, of 3700 tons, just launch-

Scotland, who engaged a young gentleman, a‘
Mr. Wood, of Glascow, to construct her, who
has shewn remarkable talents, and adds to
the practice, an intiniatefacqtiaititance with
the scientific principles of the art. His anxi-
ety for the success of an undertaking which
was new, of the difficulties of which no good
judgment could be formed, and in which so
much property and his own reputation were
at stake, was naturally great, and he must
have felt very mticli relieved at its success,
which in every respect was most. forttinate.—
She will load with expedition, and we tinder-
stand, will be ready for sea in about 3 weeks.
Although having rather an tniseeriily appear-
ance, she is very firmly built, has btrt 1 deck,
now draws only 18 feet water, and when ready
for sea, it is stipposod, will not much exceed
20 ; a draught ofwater not greater than mu-
ny large timber ‘ships annually sailing from.
this port. She has fotir masts, with the com-
mon bowsprit,aiid will cross the Atlantic with

composed of sailors sent out last fall and this

an old and experienced seaman. -We give
her exact diniensious nd Register: 3690,
32-94 Tons; length 301 feet 6 inches; breadth
50 feet 7 inches ; depth 9.9 feet 4 inches.
The largest ship in the English Navy and
in any other, is the Prince Regent, carrying
139. guns, her bnrtlien is 9.69.0 tons, of cotirse
her register measurement iiitist be considera-
bly less, her extreme length is 344 feet, width
‘'3 1-2, depth 54, she was 7 years on the stocks
and cost £200,000. The above statement of
the dimensions of the ' Colrimbns does not
comprise her extreme proportions, but those
necessary for a custom house register we be-
lieve, certain medium proportions; we are
told by competent judges that she will carry
about 9000 tons of timber, and therefore far
surpasses in hurthcn any other vessel.
The capital laid otit in this country, we im-
agine, must be very great, and it is conjectur
ed by experienced ship builders, that she will
have cost at least £5 per. ton, exclusive of
masts and rigging. She has been the means
ofemploying a great number of carpenters 8:
laborers for the last nine months, who, from
the demand which existed for other sliip work,
obtained high prices, the latter at one time 2
dollars per day.
We understand that another vessel of this
description is soon to be laid down.

Tea Trade to Cana.'(la.——Tlie hill authori-
sing the E. India Compariyto send cargoes of
China prodtictions direct to Canada, passed
the Coinrirons to be sent to the Lords on the
11th ofJune. Mr. Home made an objection
to it, which was, that he wished to divide the
house on the propriety of admitting private
Traders from China to the North American
Colonies. The Chancellor ofthe Exchequer
remarked that the charter ofthe E. I. Com-
pany prevented any such thing. Mr. Hume
then declined to divide the house. There is
no doubt that the bill will become a law.——
It is stated that the Teas would be ready for
shipment from Ca iiton in January. The con-
sumption of Teas in Canada has been vari-
ously estimated from 15 to 30,000 chests au-
nually, not more than two or three thousand
of whicli are legally imported. It is supposed
that Teas in a direct line might, taking the
diflerent qualities into corisitleration, be im-
ported one shilling per pound less than by the
circuitous route of England. Taking 15,000
chests to be the consiriiiption, and considering
that the price would be such as to prevent il-
li cit introduction, or which, however, from the
high expences of the E. I. Company’s estab-
lishments, there still appears to be some doubt,
this Bill would throw annually iirto a legal
chaiinel in this Province. a capital of about
£l50,000, which, it is diffictilt to tell how we
could pay, except in bullion, as the Exportof
this Colony, with the exception ofa very few
unrmportaiit ones, are not suited to the Asiat-
ic Markets. Payment might be made to the
Company in England in our chief Articles of
Export. Hitherto our Tea has been paid
with articles ofBritisli Mantifacuires, introdu-
ced illicitly into the United States. These
British Manufactures were paid by otir Ex-
ports. IVliether a cessation in the introduc-
tion of Teas from the United States, would
produce a similar effect upon the introduction
of British Mantifacttrres, into the States, it is
difficult to tell: but ifwe do, we shall perhaps
not gain as riir.ich by this new regulation as
we cxpect.—Quebec Gaz. 0
LA FAYETTE.-Extract ofa Letter to the
Editor ofthe Petersburg Intelligencer, from
a Gentleman ofPetersburg, (now in France,)
dated Havre, Jtiiie 14, 18524. ,
“ Almost the last hour I spent inlParis was
in company with the venerable La Fayette-—
althougli 67 years old, he has preserved to that
advanced age that vigor of mind and body
which we do not always-find in those that are
much younger. He is very plain in his mari-
ners—-speaksEuglishfluently. Thefirsttiuie
I saw this distinguished votary of ’76, was in
company with the celebrated Gen. Fucy and
about fifteen or twenty Americans-—the Gen.
seeing stich a number of its together, all for
the same object, said to Gen. La Fayette,
“Your children (pointing to us) are the most
affectionate in the world.” The old veteran
rose from his seat, with tears trembling in his
eyes, and taking us all affectionately by the
hands, said, “ Indeed you are my children.”
His doors are ever open to the Americans,
and there are very re»: who visit France
witliotitseeing liim.——-VVhile on my last vis-
it with Mr. Barrier, the American Consul,
Capt. Macy, ofthe fine new ship Stephania,
one ofthe line of packets between Havre and
New-York, called to ask the General if he
would ‘accept of his cabin, and do him the
honor to take a passage with him to the Uni-
ted States. This is the fifth or sixth applica-
tion of the kind he has received since it has
been known that he had declined the provis-
ion made by Congress for conveying him to
the United States.”
.?1~E\V'-Y,0RX§.,\.Allg. X3.--A tragic overt-t oc;
curred yesterday afternoon. at a respectable
boarding house in this city. .Wliile'tlie board-
ers were at dinner, Mr. Seaman, deputy sher-
iff, called with a writ for two young men of
the name of I-lam‘, brothers, who had just re-
ttirned from an excursion to the Springs.--
Tlrey expressed their readiness to attend the
sheriff, andasked pcrniission to go to their
lodging" room for their hats. This was gratit-
ed, btit having remained longer than was ex-
pected, the‘ sheriff requested the landlord to
ascertaiiiifthey had really gone to theirroom.
He knocked at their door, wlicn itnmediatcly
he heard the reporfof a pistol, which was fol-
lowed in a few seconds by auotlier. On en-
tering the room, it was found that both the
young men had destroyed themselves, having
apparently each placed a pistol in his iriotitli,
and literally blown to ZHOIIIS the upper parts of
their heads. We learn that the young men
were natives ofthe island of St. Thomas, na-
med Ralph and John Hart, aged 9.4 and 26
years. They had transacted business at May-
aguez, Porto Rico, under the firm of I. &R.
Hart. From this place it is saidthey abscond-
ed some months since in a vessel which they
had-purchased and loaded on credit : and af-
ter visiting Curacoa, Havana, and Jamaica,
and disposing of the vessel and cargo, arrived
it‘ this city a few weeks since. They return-
cd from the Springs yesterday mornin".
Tana? Town, Aug. l0.—Yesterday morn-
ing this village and its ‘vicinity were visited
with one of the most violent storms, during
its continuance, which has been witnessed
here for many years". About halfanliour af-
ter sun rise the Tappan sea, to an observer
from the shore, presented a spectacle of the
most terrific :.ubliiiiity. The whole soutli-
western arch, for at least 90 degrees, exhibit-
ed a dense black cloud, which filled the spec-
tators with the most appalling sensations. A-
bout a quarter before six it began to float, the
wind for eight or ten minutes blowing an ir-
resistible hurricane. The electric fluid was
discharged upon several places at a distance
from each other, with inconceivable rapidity.
About two and a half miles sotitli of the vil-
lage, it struck a dwelling house, and while the
family escaped tininjtired, it shivered cuuib-
rotis articles of furniture to pieces, and tore
chairs and lighter articles into mere billets of
wood ; its fury was fnially expended upon the
stone wall in the cellar, tlrro’ which it nrade
ii complete aperture. In another house not
for distant, ayoung lady was struck by the
lightning, and for a long time continued in a
complete paralysis; she is however recovering.
“Near the ivliarfat Tarry Town, within 2 or 8
miirtites of the former shocks, the lightning
passed by a lumber house and completely
stripped off one ofthe gable ends, but with no
further injury. Taking a course east and
north-east, Q or 3 minutes before 6 o’clock,the
electric discharge btirst upon the barn of Geo.
- Comb, Esq. filled with rye, flax and hay, and
within five minutes the whole building and its
contents were in a solid colume offire. The
flashes of lightning and the penis of thunder
were so terrifying, that a gentleman about
half a mile distant, who saw the fire commu-
nicate to the barn, was obliged to return into
his house ; and, although not absent more
than a minute, when he opened his door the
fire from the roof of the barn was distinctly
visible. Atthis period the rain descended in
almost a compact sheet, and although the
persons who ran to Mr. Comb’s assistance, to
save his dwelling house, for the safety of
which there was great fear, were drenched in
half a minute to the skin,the water only sceni-
ed to add energy to the fire; and within 20
miiitrtes, some burning brands and a pile of
ignited ashes only remained of nearly the
ivhole of Mr. Comb’s harvest. Nearly at the
same moment, another current of the storm
passed up Sleepy Hollow, and struck the hab-
itation of Lewis Carle, and injured a young
man, but not, it is hoped beyond recovery’.-
No fact is more completely illtistrative of the
benefit attached to the iron conductors, than
a circumstance which occiired at this house.
About a hundred yards from Mr. Carlc’s resi-
dence is a flour and saw mill, in which is a
wheel connected with the dairy to churn birt-
ter; along the wood work which moved the
churn was a rod of wire, through which
Mr.Carle‘s dwelling was no doubt saved from
utter destrtictiou, for the electric fluid after it
had first struck the house, attracted by this
rod, ran entirely along it, until it was lost in
the vacum at the end ofthe wire,and its pow-
er diniinislied by the torrent of rain to which
it was exposed.
A gentleman who sat and watched the
storm, and close by whose habitation, at the
same time, several large fruittrees were per-
fectly roloted up, remarked, that for 10 or 19.
minutes, at the period when the events already
related happened, during the last 50 years, he
did not recollect either such a flood of water,
ftrry ofwind, vividness of lightning, or roar-
ing of thunder—but it was of short continu-
ance. Some idea may be formed ofthe deri-
sity of the atmosphere, from the fact that an
hour after sunrise, for a few minutes, the light
was little more brilliant than a clear moriiing’s
grey dawn, except as the “ obscure profotind”
was illuminated for a moment by corrusca-
tionsv equally splendid and fearful.
Hail Slorm.—The village of Homer inCort-
landt county was visited with a tremendous
hailstorm on the 26th tilt. The rain descen-
ded in torrents, and hail stories as large as
hen’s eggs, dashed tlirotigli the windows. The
effects, for about a mile in the centre of its
track, was such as might be expected—a inel-
ancholy scene of devastation. Promising
fields ofgrain, of all kinds, flax, grass, 81. gar-
den fruits, prostratedto the ground, and in
some instances literally cut to pieces. Forest
and some fruit trees were also levelled to the
earth. The window glass of every house was
broken, and in a few cases,the windows dash-
ed in. A small number of buildings were
blown down, others iinroofed, and :1 few cattle
killed. The storm extended through Solon in-
to Ciricinnatus; Gen. Hathaway, of Solon,
had one barn and several new sheds demol-
ishcd, another barn unroofed, and 600 panes
ofglass broken. His fields of grain and gar-
den, and others in that vicinity were totally
destroyed. Mr. H’s loss is estimated at 31500.

FROM EN GLAND.-—-London papers to
the 25th ofJune are received by an arrival at
Philadelphia. Parliameiit was prorogued on‘
that day‘, to meet again on the 24th of August.-
At lialfpast two, the house having been pre-=
vionsly filled, His Majesty appeared, and took
his seat on the throne, Wearing the crown on
his head. Soon after the Commons, with the
Speaker, Mr. Canning and other Ministers, at
their head, entered, when the Speaker ad-
dressed his Majesty. He commenced by sta-
ting that the House of Commonshad attend-
ed to all the recoiiiineirdations of his Majes-
ty’s speech, at the opening of the session.
In relieving the burtliens ofthe people, two‘
courses have presented themselves to their
v_te\v——eitlrer a direct appeal of direct taxa-‘
tion, or to disencuniber the trade ofthe coun-
and which were condemned by enlarged and
enlightened views of policy. With the view‘
had been nrade in otrr commercial laws as
they hoped would improve the great nationai
resources of this country. But they had new
er lost’siglrt of the necessity of proceeding;
cautiously in breaking down a system, wliich;

They had found it their painful duty to re-
enact the Insurrection Act in Ireland, not

tion of the innoceiit,liiit in mercy to the guilty.-

the several objects of public interest which
have been submitted to your consideration.
I deeply regret the painful necessity under
which you have found yourselves ofreneiving
for a further period, meastires of extraordina-
ry prccaution in Ireland. I entirely approve
ofthe iiiqtriries which you have instituted as
to the trtie nature of the evils which have long
disturbed a part ofthat country, and I have
no doubt you will find it expedient to renew
tlretn in another session of Parliament.
I continue to receive from foreign powers
the strongest-assurances of their disposition to
preserve their friendly relations with this gov-
ernment, and you may rely on my efforts to
maintain the peace of Europe, and to extend
the comnrercial relations of my subjects.

of stihjugating the United States of America.
Mr. Pozzo di Borgo, the ambassador fr. Rus-
sia to France, and who is said to have rrore
influence in the counsels ofthe Holy Alliance
than any_other minister, gravely proposed this
scheme in a memoir which he addressed to
his court in the year 1817. In the extracts
from this nieinoir, published in the London
Morning Chronicle, he represents the United
States as a fire vrliiclr threatens Erirope with
conflagration ; we afford an asylum, he says,
for all innovators, and disseminate poison by
our writings and the authority ofotir example.
The French Revolution, he says, had its ori-
gin in the United States, 8z.c. &c. He seems
to suppose that the conquest of this country
would be an easy enterprise, and that many
of our citizens would not be displeased with a
change in the form of government.
