BRIDEWELL.
Another attempt has been made to es
cape from Bridewell. Several prisoners
outlie lower floor having provided them- 1
selves with file3 and saw*, had commen
ced filing the nuts from the dour locks of
their rooms, which they succeeded iu do
ing, but fastened them on in the day time
They then went to work on the cars of the
wiudow in the rear of the B, ulewcli, where
they expected no watchman would be un
the look out. They sawed through several
bars, and succeeded in making an aperture
with the exception of one o-r, which l iey
intended to have G ushed yesterday. For
tunately the attempt was discovered in lime
to prevent the e.-cape, A boy had bean
committed on a charge of felony bat being
admitted to bail, he complained the moment
of his release, ol the bad treatment experi
enced from the prisoners, who had beaten
him. When questioned by Mr. Sickels,
the keeper of the prison, (o particulars,
the boy told huri of the meditated escape
arid strict search being immediately made,
the saws were found and the plot detected
The prisoners had filled up the apertures
with ointment and steel filings, to prevent
detection; and every thing was ingeni
ously arranged fur the escape of these
rogues.
A sharp look out should be kept on those
visiting the bridewell, Every attention
and vigilance are bestowed by toe keeper;
but it will happen that these culprits fre
quently elude the Strictest scrutiny.

FURTHER SELECTIONS,
From late English papers by the ship Bayard.
LONDON, April 30.
Ministers have at last come to a deter
mination of opening ths ports of the U. j
Kingdom lo the shipping of the new State
of South America; and have thus virtually J
| recognized their independence. A memo J
| rial, which we give iu another place, and
which is signed by some of the most res
pectable merchants and ship owners of die
kingdom, has been the immediate cause of
tliis important decision, the utility if which
is obvious,'hough its justice is not. |t is
also one of those of political expediency,
i which is accompanied by no risk; as Spain
is too feeble to resent it; anil it has been
ever a rule with politicians to push their in
terests at the expense of the weak anil un
fortunate. In fact it may be said, that there
is no tenure in politics but force;andjustice
is merely an ornament, which is used or
laid aside according to circumstances. In
terest is the basis, and convenience the su
perstructure of policy; and though these
materials li3ve led to an inexhaustable
J source of evil in the end, yet the present
ladvar.tage has always outweighed the re
j mote danger; and Statesmen, if they could
! only provide for existing necessities, have
! seldom troubled themselves about distant
[consequences. Elizabeth and her iminor
jtal Ministers, were certainly exceptions—
: and it was with the g- ea t eß t reluctance that
they took an open part with the Dutch
iagains’ the tyranical & treacherous Philip.
llf that despot had not entered into the
! most odious plots against government, the
j-eiigion, and even political existence of
England, the Queen would have been sway
ed by her scruples, that, in all probability,
she would have abstained from taking the
revelled Dutch by the hand, notwithstand
ing the numerous advantages which it of-1
I’ered. The ingenuity of our age Ins as
cribed those scruple to the extravagant no
tions which El'zabeth entertained of the
rights of Sovereigns: it 19 even pubs hie
that they were tins overt cause which influ
enced the conduct of that illustrious Prin
cess—but a strong love of justice, perhaps
without her own Knowledge, was the secret
-pring of tier conduct in this as in every
otliei act of her memorable reign. She was
naughty, domineering, and even insincere;
bat at the b ttom of her character and her
policy, there was a deep layer of justice,
from which the most prominent vices and
virtues of her reign might be said to have
sprung.
In imr flexible and changeful times more
convenient principles seem tobe necessary;
and the. stoics! doctrine of justice, as too
rigid for our age, it has been found oecces
sa.y to abandon. We sincerely lament the
necevsiiy; we grieve that the present gen
eration id Eugiisnmen lias b “ell thrown
amongst such unfavorable circumstances —
and that we are compelled to substitute for
the rigid notions of our ancestors, doctrines
of a lighter and more pliable texture. No
other motive could probably indure such
men as the members of the present Cabinet
to sanction the principle, that one state has
a right tot dee advantage of the adverse
circumstances under winch anuther labours,
and sanction the revolt of its colonies, mere
ly because it is prevented by its misfortunes
from asserlingits sovereignty. Only impe
rious motives of policy could have induced
this government to take so important a step,
as the reflection that Spain owes the loss
of her colonies to the noble struggle he
maintained in common with us agamst the
tyrantyf the continent, most have befriend
ed in die deliberations which our cabinet
lias held on this important subject. To her
loyalty at that period—to Iter invincible at
tachment to her betrayed and captive Mon-
arch —and to her stern resolution to endure
very calamity, rather than wear the chain*
of a conqueror —to thoce qualities which
she then displayed, and wliich*comthanded
the admiration of every noble mind, and
the sympathy of every generous bosom-
Europe is, in a great degree, indebted for
having escaped the most odious and op
pressive thraldom with which it was ever
threatened. But Spain, bled at every pore
doling the protracted struggle, and became
so enfeebled, that, at the end of it, she pre
sented only the skeleton of her former
power. Her weak hands could no longer
wield the sceptre of Ids colonies; but her
weaknes, as tho consequence of her noble
conduct, ought to have inspired the respect
of such powers as had been beneiitted by
her consuming efforts. But the times are
unhinged, and they appear to ren
der a convenient and flexible policy
necessary. May this aberration from the
strict principles of universal justice, and
from the hallowed canons of political law,
have no injurious tendency upon the politi
cal morality of this cuuntrv, which has been
heretofore the cement of her power and
prosperity ! May advantages that are
promised at least indemnify us for the sac
rifice of lofty principles that has been just
made ! However, a morning paper, which
follows the precept of St.. Paul, in its
most most vicious acceptation, ano which
is *• ali things to ail men” in power, which
would advocute always the divine right
of Kin ,r s, or the doctrine of cashier
inc them, agreeably to the wishes of its
patrons, which is an Ultra in France, ano
a rebel in South America ; this Harlequin
paper, in the very act of trumpeting this
intelligence, was compelled to acknow.ege
that the utility of the measure would be
necessarily slow in its operatian. Inis ?ve|
regret, because only the most clear andj
immediate advantage would afford a pre-j
text for abandoning the straight line of
political justice, which this country has
herctoforc pursued ! and in which, under
the protection of Heaven, it has also pros
pered !!! Public Ledger.
Extract of a letter from Odessa, dated
April 2 (M. S.) —“ Nothing further has
I ranspired respr: tins the Port Franc: we
nay expect to give you some decisive in
[ n mation upon this subject in the cours of,
post or two. During the last few days)
we have had many arrivals of ships of all
nations ; and on this side we see no indica-i
tions of the approaching hostilities you al-j
lmle to in your letter of the sth of March ;i
neither do we hear from St. Petersburg a-J
ny thing of a hostile nature. Admiral’
Gre'gj who commands the Black Sea fleet**
still remains at St. Petersburg, and no prep-[
arations are m iking at Nicolayct to equip j
and prepare the fleet. It i, we believe,
certain, that the Government is quite at a
loss to raise the means at present of sup
porting the army, o r of marching it out of

A private letter from Paris, dated April
22, says—“ The latest news of any impor
tance is the account of the Greeks having (
adopted a Constitution, the principal fea
tures of which are a Chamber of Deputies,
in which is placed the Legislative Power,
and President and Council of live., who
exercise the Executive. ‘The President
and majority of the Council arc to be cho
sen from among the Civilians, to prevent a-
ny undue military influence. The present
Ministry here are not amalgamating *o
well as the party who put them in could
wish. M. Viiiele is at daggers drawn with
M. Peyronnet.—Though a great noisa is
made in the papers relative to the elections,
yet the result will be of little consequence;
the g-eate.it number the Liberal* could ex
pect would not exceed eight or ten Depu
ties, and even if the whole one fifth were
to be of that trempe, still the Ministers
would have the majority. There is a dread
if is aid, which gives them much more a
larm—namely, the fatal progress ofCarbo
riarism; that infection, which they dread
even more than the yellow fever, has, it is
surmised pissed the frontiers, at. I got into
the very cordon.
This it is thought, is the chief reason
why Gem D.mnadieu has not g me to the
frontiers to take the command. Knowing
his fiery head and reckless promptitude,
they dread mat violent measures and im
medbfn punishment might crlj epreai!
the evil further. But not to wound his
vanity, ami also to keep him from the
Chamber—for ‘.hey also dread him there—
ho may bes tit down as Military Inspec
tor, and bound down by the most precise
and positive instructions; in a wind, his
mission, will scarcely have any reality but
in the public papers. There has been
much talk here ‘•bout (he refusal to admit
some <>f Horace Wrnet's historical pictures
into the approaching exhibition—they are
the Battle of Jeonpne (in which the tri-
colour cockade and flag are of course very
conspicuous) and the battle with the Allies
about Montmartre ; the first, it seems, was;
painted for the Duke of 0> leans. Austria,!
through preaching lenity to the Neapolitan j
Govei ritnent, still continues her own sys
tem if severity. The General Zuchi, who!
so distinguished himself in the Italian ar-!
my,has been arrested at Reggio, where se-|
veral other arrestation* of minor note took
place at the same time. At Brescia, th**J
principal encourager of the Schools for j
M utu 1 1 Instruction has been taken up and
sent to prison, 1 1 see if he may not state
of things in Italy, and yet. it is said that the
Carbonari arc rather on the increase there,
and that even the King of Naples is sur-
rounded with them without knowing or
fearing it. There is a prediction of Napo
leon’s running about here at present; he
said, or, it is said for him, that.4o years af
ter his death all Europe would be either re
publicans or be over-run by Cossacks.”
The Court of Prussia is stated, in a pri
vate letter from Aix-la-Chapelle, to have
recognized the Constitutional Government
of Portugal, and to have expedited pass
ports to M Gomez d’Oliveire at Frankfort,
sanctioning his journey in an official char
acter to Berlin.

iby a second notice of Mr. Christie’s, who has
undoubtedly claims against tlkm, which, when
finally liquidated on the decision of the suit now
pending, they will try to satisfy as soon as possi

The deeds under Which Mr. Christie claims an
exclusive right to all the real and personal es
tate of Cornochan St Mitchell, are considered as
informal, unjust and illegal. Hence they have
been brought and are still before the court, and
other deeds have been executed and recorded,
conveying the propet ty for the use of all their
creditors, Mr. Christie included, without any
trust or reservation beneficial to C. & M or their
families, and if this be not agreeable to that

equitable to the public and all who have a sense
of justice.
The Trustees under the late deeds are anxiou.
