the session of parliatrrent in person, since he
was in good health. The Dtrblin Free-man’s
Journal :tll'ords a clue to the question. It says
that when the tlrauc_vht ofthe speech was laid
bel'ore his Majesty, he did not approve of the
passage respecting Ireland, and that although
Iiliuisters made several attemptsto modify it,
still they could not frame it to his satisfaction,
so that lie could feel pleasure in delivering it
itt person. On the same subject the Leices-
ter Journal says, the Kinghad no alternative
btrt the adoption ofthe speech or a tlissolution
oftlte lllinistry. The latter was impractica-
ble. He, therefore, as a matter of necessity,
suffered the spcechto be delivered by a Com-
mission, but he would not give it the counte-
nance ol royal recitation.

It wottld seem,by an article in the Journal
des Dcbats, that the aclttrotr-letlgtrtent ofl3ra-
zil as an independent empire by Portugal is
no longer doubtful, and that this important
object has been effected by the united influ-
ence ofEngland and Austria.
The Paris papers are full of speculatirms a-
-bout ottr recognition ofthe South American
States-. The Q_uotidieut_te assures us that
Spain is about to declare war against Eng-
land, slttiportcil by Russia, the Ambassador
of that power at Madrid having proposed to
conclude an alliance offensive and defensive
with Spain.-—Lomlon paper.
Tire Paris Etoile, while retuarlting on the
recognition, makes use ofthe following ex-
pression in regard to the recognition of the
independent-.e ofthe U. States by France :-
It but too plainly shows the feelings which
are cherished in that quarter, and by all the
Allies, towards republican governments. “A-

I It appears that the Spanish ultras have
turned their views towards Russia, anti fiat-
ter themselves that Alexander will soon ar-
rest the march of England. It is also men-
tioned that since a rttttrour has prevailed that
Portugal affords a favorable reception to such
ofthe Spaniards as are disposed to flee from
persecution, the emigration in that direction
has become so great as to excite the attention
of the government. '
A Madrid article ofthe Stl Feb. states that -

The complaint of no work has come from
those who would tarry in town, and yet would
not work, and those ltave been the principal
cornplaiuers. Iatn convinced that it is front
such, almost wholly, that the complaints have
gone to America. As they would not go on
to the government laud, ofcoursc governuteut
would not support them. These, too, have
complained that they could not return, and
have utatlethc assertion that they were not
permitted to return. They could not be al-
lowed to retttru without paying back what the
government had expended for their passage
and support, nor without obtaining a pass

The staircase leading into the tnain cabin
is covered by a ltottse 12 by 14 feet, the en-
trance into which is at the after part, by two
sliding doors. The inside of the house is
neatly finished, with seats forthe accommo-
(latiouofpassengers,aud decorated with hand-
some landscape pictures. The descent from
the house into the cabin, is by a flight of ma-
bogony stairs, elegantly finished, and'hand-
somely carpeted. The main cabin, or dining
cabin, is spacious, anti judiciously arranged ;
it is 36 feet in length. 13 feet wide, and 7 feet
3 inches in height ;tlre sides are finished with
mahogony-and birdseye maple, of superior
workmanship, and highly varnisltetl and pol-
ished ; twenty-two ebonised pillars divide the
entrance into the state rooms; these pillars
are tastefully ortratnented with gold, witltgilt
caps of the composite order, which with the
birdseye maple and mahogany, fortrts a con-
trast pleasing and hearrtiful. The dining table
is of mahogany, and extends fr. the staircase
to the after part of the cabin, and is so con-
structed that it can be contracted to one third
ofits length. On each side of the table are
hair seated settces permanently fixed to the
floor; the tntzen mast,which runs through the
table, is finislted with birdseye maple, and
c-bonised paunels, elegantly ornamented, and
crowned with a splendid gilt cap. Itt the for-
ward part of the cabin is a highly polished
sideboard, over which hangs a landscape pic-
ture, and on each side ofthe picture is placed
a multiplying nrirror. The rudder case is
neatly finished with rosewood,mahogony and
birtlseye maple, with two harp doors, which
open into a library containing about 160 vol-
umes l‘l:tl(lS0lll€l_V bound, with the name of
the ship on the back of each. Over the cabin
windows, on each side of the library, is an ar-
tificial grapc vine. in a concave form,with the
leaves and fruitfinely gilt, over which, in a
tasteful style, hangs the drapery. In the main
and ladies’ cabin there are eleven state rooms,
containing each two beds, the curtains and
drapery of which are the same as over the
cabin windows, and are made ofItrdia camb-
let ofan azure colour, with an orange fringe,
fcstooned, and supported by three gilt rings,
held each by t-he beak ofan eagle, part ofthe
head of which is seen protruding through the
drapery, and forming together a pleasing and
fanciful appearance. In each state‘ rootu is a.
writing desk, covered with green silk velvet,
edged with a handsome giltmoulding ; they
are also furnished with elegant chairs,looking
glasses,and other articles convenient and orn-
amental. From the forward part ofthe main
cabin, on each side, is the passage to the La-
dies’ Cabin, which is ten by 14 feet, finished
in the same elegant style as the main cabin,
anti furnished with a handsome scttee w.ith
crimson cushions, over which is a handsome
pier glass ; in the front part is a piano forte
of beautiful workmanship, on each side of
which, and fronting the doors leading from
the tnain cabin, is placed a large and elegant
convex mirror, which reflects the pillars the
length of both cabins, and adds mush tothe
appearance of the scenery, the beauty and
splendor of which excites the admiration of
every beltolder.—-.Mr;rc. ./Idvcrliscr.

LITTLE Rocx, (Ann) Feb. 8.——D1'rltu-Ia-'
anccs between the Civil and Military .«9utItorr'-
!t'es.~We regret to learn, that an unpleasant
controversy has recently arisen between actual
of the citizens of Miller County, and the mil-'
itary stationed at Cantonment Towson,at the
mouth of the Kiameche, whlclt has already
produced consider'able excitement on both
sides, and, it is feared, may result in serious‘
consequences to the parties concerned. The‘
circumstances ofthe affair, as related to us‘,-
are briefly these: An ofiiccr ofthe Canton-
ment was indebted to a citizen, and a horse
belonging to the former was levied on by 1!
civil officer. Shortly afterwards the horse
was rescued frotu the constable by a detach-'
ment from the Cantonmenb The constable.
tlten called on the posse, recovered a possess-‘
ion ofthe horse, took the soldiers into custo-
dy, and placed thetn uttder a guard composed’
of citizens. A reinforcement was then sent
from the Cantonment, who demanded the‘
release of the first detachment, which being-
refused by the guard, the former charged on»
the latter, and released the prisoners.
'1‘lrus the matter stood at our last advices. ‘
The citizens have sent over an express to the
Acting Governor, calling for a redress of
grievances, and the affair, it is supposed, will-
be terminated by a judicial investigation.-
Tlte Delegations of Indians,led by Colonel
Menard, who visited Washington for the pur-
pose of making arrangements for the removal
oftlreir friends from the East to the West of
the Mississippi, left here on Monday morning-,
last, after having secured the acquiescence of
the Government in their plan, and the adop-
tion of measures to carry it into'ell'ect. An
assemblage of Indians on the east ofthe Mis-
sissippi, and who reside in Ohio, Indiana, II-
linois, llszc. is authorized to take place at Wa-
paghkennetta, in Ohio, where they are to b¢‘_
met by Gov. Cass, of Detroit, as Comm’r.
In connexion with this general plan ofre-
moval and union, the Shawanese, formerly’
of Cape Gerardeau, have made arrange-
ments to have lands assigned them West of
the boundary of Missouri, in exchange for
those once owned by them at Cape Gerard’-‘
eau ; anti this trust has been assigned to gen-
eral Clarke, of St. Louis. The just claims
of those Indians, for improvements abandon-
ed by them at Cape Gerardeau, and for inju-
ries committed by the whites, are also direct-
ed to be settled.-— We learn that iftlte
kennetta,results as the Indians themselves
wish it may, that the removal of from twelve
to fifteen tribes, anti remnants of tribes, will
be effected by it.—-.N'al. Journal.
Jlfllicting Occurrence.—Three lads, mem-
bers of Lansingburgh Academy, went into
the woods on Monday last to gather winter
greens, and found and ate a kind ofaroot they
supposed to be spikenatd ; before they got
home however they complained of feeling un-
well, and one ofthetn Cambridge Davidson,
of Charleston, S. "C. died before he could
reach ltis boarding hotrse;another, .Ias.Hector,
of Lansingburgh, died immediately after, and-
the life of young Heerrnance, of Albany, was-
saved by the operation ot‘.a powerful emetic.
The root they had eaten, and believed to be
spikenard, proved to be Inter hemlock, which
it seems is one of the tnost active vegetable
poisons produced in our climate. Young Da-
vidson was preparing to enter college, was a
youth of great promise, tlreyonly child of his
mother.-—Tro_y Sentinel.
Volcano.-The Essex County Republican,
of March 12, says, “ that on Sunday last} a-
bout 2 o’clock in the morning, a shock was
‘felt in this town,supposed to be an earthqtrakc.
Some thought it to he thunder, others suppo-
sed at the moment that it wasthe rattling of
wagons on the frozen ground,and others tho’:
it to be the cracking of ice in the lake. In
Brookfieltl the shock was tntrcb more severe.
But we have just learned from the town of
Lewis, that it proves to have been a volcano.
_ We understand that there is a nton-main there
whose bowels of stones and earth, have been-
thrown out to the depth of a hundred feet,and
that smoke was seen to issue from the centre,
for three days afterwards. It is reported that
at similar eruption took place several years
ago ;we conclude, therefore, that it is a gen-
uiue volcano.” - ‘
