Merrill, of the ship Caroline Au gusta, has politely favored cs yitli Lon don papers of the 24th ult. four days la ter than previously received. It does not appear from the papers, that the succession to the Cabinet had been definitively settled, and Mr. Can ning is said to have experienced much difficulty and embarrassment in comple ting it—but Capt. Merrill, who did not leave the Downs until the 29th April, in forms us that the new Ministry had been formed previous to his sailing, and that the Marquis of Lansdown’s acceptance of a place in it, had the effect to cause an immediate-rise in. the funds. The extracts which will be found below furnish the only political intelligence con tained in the papers. The population of the city of Paris had been for some days in a fever of joy and exultation, in consequence of the with drawal '■f the project of the law on the liberty of the Press. One reason assign ed for the determination of the French Government to give up this impolitic mea sure, was the appointment of Mr. Can ning to be Prime Minister of England, an event which is said to have produced the most powerful sensation both upon the people and government of France. The night after the rejection of the law, the cit»' of Paris was enveloped in an almost noon-day brilliancy. The streets were filled with immense crowds, and traversed by processions of two and three hundred individuals, with torches in their hands, bearing flags, and singing triumphal songs. From time to time, astounding cries of Vise la Iioi—Vive le Chambredes Paris — Vive la Libcrtie de la Presse, were sent f orth, and. answered by waving’“of flags ae.d handkerchiefs from the well filled windows. In the Rue St. Denis, & Rue ■St. flonoro, in consequence of the im prudence of the populace, in lettingoff fire works, discharging pistols, &c. the gens d’armes charged upon the crowd, sword in hand, and at full gallop—many were wounded;.trampled under foot and bruised —one woman was killed. In the Place Von dome, three or four hundred journey men Printers took their station under the win lows of M. Peyronnet, and. sung in grand chorus a triumphal stwjsg, much to his annoyance. The next night a guard of soldiers was'sent far his protection. A letter of the 9th April, from Madrid, .states that the Spanish Government had rejected'the terms upon which the Ham burg House of ITasperg &. Schutte had offered to contract for the-Tobacco con cerns. The Stirling Journal states, thgt -no less than six vessels had sailed front Alloa for America, within the last, three weeks, partly with cargees, and. partly with emi- grats. ' ; '• London, April24. It is not impossible hut 1 hat, before tills paper goes to press, we 'may be able to announce the result of the ne- gociations which are now'carrying on between Mr Canning and the Whigs.— When wp use the word negotiation, how ever, we must not be misunderstood as im plying that the Whigs are anxious to make terms for themselves. The contrary ap pears to bo the fact. They are willing to give their support to a liberal system of policy; but the promulgator of that sys tem wisliesto engage them in it, not as ap provers'only and promoters, hut as co- operators. If there had been any avidi ty of place, an arrangement might have been concluded long ago; but, according to Ste-n’s proverb, “liberality offers” with both hands open,what modesty will scarce ly “touch, with a finger, Mr, Brougham, for example, has taken a decided part in promoting the negociation, bv which the Whigs were to come in, declining at the same time, for reasons to be hereafter ex plained, nnv >ffice himself. As for Lord Lansdown, it is pretty evi dent that he has shown no gfeat appetite for place; Lord Holland has expressly refused it, and others are equally averse; whilst there exists in all the warmest dis position to support the Government, of which His Majesty has laid the corner stone. We are not able to fulfil the promise held out in the beginnining of this article : so late as 12 o’clock last night nothing was settled. The negociation, however, is not at at; end. Lord Lansdown had not returned to town last night; but the Duke of Devonshire made that kind cf commu nication to Mr. Canning which was con sidered as leaving the question still open. Lord Holland, Lord Carlisle, and Mr. Brougham were at Devonshire-house with tiie Duke after his return from Mr. Can ning, but no final resolution was adopted. It is proper to mention, what we are sure will give give great satisfaction to those who wish well to Mr. Canning and Mr. Plunkett, that the latter gentleman bas re tracted his acceptance of the Rolls. He accepts a peerage, but goes to the Upper Hpuse to defend the GovernmenUvithout any place at tall.— Times. Tho difficulties and einbarrrssment of Mr. Canning’s situation, as Veil as*| of the country, appear to increase and hourly. As far as the former is con cerned, it is entirely of his own seeking and that most unwisely and unnecessarily; but that the country is to be involved in fresh difficulties,—her affairs, both foreign ond domestic,_ placed in abeyance, and ■1 hat to gratify the ambition of one man, himself apparently the instrument of a questionable influence, is a state of things two mischievous and alarming not to call for the severe animadversions of that part of the Press which aspires to any charac ter fer independence. We make-this lat ter femark, not without feelings wf both, pain and shame at the unblushing inconsis tency (we would fain hope, not venality) with which a certain part of the Press has, on the instant, deserted all iis former principles and prepossessions, and has em barked -in a defence of the new order of things more nauseous and subservient to than any thing we have ever before wit nessed of the kind.—Morning Herald.

Yesterday morning about 10 o’clock, the Duke of Devonshire went , to Mr. Canning at his house in Downing-streef, having returned from the Marquis of Lansdown, at his seat at Richmond. His Grace remained with Mr. Canning till about half past one. Soon after the departure of his Grace, Mr* Canning went to^the l^ing, aQ d re * raained with his Majesty an hour and a half, and then returned to Downing-street, when the Minister had another interview with the Duke of Devonshire, accompa nied by the Earl of Carlisle.

We have received newspapers from Bogota tothe 10th of March, and from Caracas tothe 10th inst. It results from their contents that the project of the political constitution pre sented by the Liberator Simon Bolivar to the Republic of Bolivia, having been ex amined in the city of Lima, capital of Pe ru, bv the electoral colleges of the afore said Republic, and by 52 deputies of the Congress, it was approved on the 30th of Nov. as the fundamental law of the said state, and the Liberator Simon Bolivar was nominated President of the same du ring his life. In consequence thereof it was solemnly proclaimed on the 8th of December ensuing and sworn to in all form, with .order to nnhlish the same, as it was done, throughout the several depart ments. But on the 26th of January of the preseht year, the chiefs and officers of the division of the army of Colombia, compo sing the batallions Vencedor, Rifles, Car acas, Araure, the escadron of Huzzars of Ayacucho and other officers of the same army, to the number of 75, elected as gen eral commander, the first commander Jose Bustamente, and discharged from the command^ Generals Laras and Sandes,and other colonels and officers, who have been sent to Bogota, as prisoners, togeth er with an act by which they declare to re main submissive to the constitution and laws of the Republic of Colombia, dis owning the dictatorship. This commotion had no relation whatever with the govern ment of Peru, it was the Colombian aux iliary corps which opposed itself against each innovation as well against that in troduced in Colombia as against the Fed eration of General Paez as dictator of some departments. At the same time al most, a cabildo ad interim it is said had been assembled by the principal citizens of Lima, which declare to the council of gov ernment that the constitution of Bolivia had been adopted against the free will of the people, by seduction and power of arms ; and requested the aforesaid con stitution to be declared null and void,' and that a congress of legitimate representa tives be convoked in order to adopt such measures is would best suit the real inter est of the nation. General Santa Cruz, President of the council acceded immedi ately to this solicitation, and issued a de cree asserting that fiotn the extreme lim its of the Republic cries were raised a- gainst the constitution of Bolivia, and that it was not admitted by the spontaneous will of the people. Consequently a con stituent Congstess was convoked to meet on the first day of the next month of May, which will deliberate on a form of Consti- tutionmostcalculated to promote the in terest of the country ; and will nominate a President and Vice President for the Re public. Owing tothe general clamour the min isters of the home and foreign departments have been obliged to renounce their res pective places. Among the papers of Gen. Lara there was found some correspondence which dis covered the plan which has been prt.jcc" ted. This transformation lias caused exces sive joy in Lima and Bogota, in which place the acclamations have been incessant ly to the Constitution, to the laws, to the Congress, to the Vice President of the Republic, to Peru and to the warriors, who have manifested to the world that they are worthy citizens of Colombia. It seems that the federation is gaining ground again on the main. According to reports received here by an arrival from Maracaybo, Carthagena, Santa, Martha, and Bogota and its adjacents had declared themselves for a federal form of govern ment. The arrival at Bogota of the generals and officers, sent by Gen. Jose Bustameu- te from Lima, is hereby confirmed* Further accounts from the main state that the eastern part of Venezuela has too declared itself for the Federation. Extract of a letter from Laguira, May 7. “ Bolivar proceeds with orders to take the arms from the creoles, ami to place them in the public stores. This measure it is expected will have a good effect in restoring confidence, and when the present difficulty experienced in the Custom House is over, which is entirely owing to the practice of persons here neg lecting to honor their Custom House Bonds for duties, some of which have been lying over for a long time.

We are gratified to learn that intelli gence has been received here by the brig Hyperion from Gibraltar, that Mr. Eve rett, our Minister at the Court of Spain, had obtained and forwarded to Mr. Hen ry, U.

American. Chi i—We have seen Valparaiso pa pers to the 20th of February. They indicate a good deal of agitation in the public mind ; but what is likely to be the result we have not the means of judg ing. There are two parties in the country, each of which has its newspapers ; and as the government is to be re-organised, it may be supposed, there is some warmth in their style. Those who are in favor of a federation of provinces or states appear to be those, who were lately opposed to Bolivar. One of tlie papers speaks a- gainst him in undisguised terms: saying he has totally changed since the battle of Ayacucho. What Bolivar has lost in South America, the cause of free consti tutions appears to have gained. COLOMBIA. We learn from a friend who has receiv ed the latest -information from Bogota, that the republic of Colombia was in a more prosperous stats in march last, than at any period within the last 4 years.—» The decided measures and harsh means resorted to by Bolivar bid fair to re-estab lish the entice prosperity of the country; public and private^redits were advancing with rapid strides, to their former footing. the war.

Difficulties in Canada.—The follow ing ominous article is from the Canadian ^Unpleasant Intelligence.-We are sor ry to observe it announced in the Uftciai Gazette of the 10th inst. that the agitators have so abused the ignorance of the peo ple as to produce a revolutionary move ment, and that seditious meetings have been hald, that ought to be dispersed by public force. God help us ! we fear this will be a bloody summer. . The Tomb of the Queen of Prussia. An interesting volume has lately been published in England, entitled “ Notes and Reflections during a Ramble in Ger many,” by the Author of the “ Recol lections of the Peninsula,” &c. The wri ter’s visit to the tomb of the Queen of Prussia, is interesting. There is a woman’s grave near Berlin, which all travellers do fondly & reverently visit. None needs to be informed of the life, the fortunes, and the fate ot the late beloved Queen of Prussia—beloved, not only by a devoted husband, but by an en tire people, who respected her pure ex ample, as a wife and a mother, and ador ed her patriot spirit as their queen. The subject of indignities, which never have been, and uever will be, forgiven to the iron Napoleon; and the witness of public calamities, which, although they could not subdue her generous and royal mind, cor roded the inward principle of life, stole the bloom from her youthful cheek, the light from her fair eves, bowed down her beau tiful form, broke her young heart, and laid her in the tomb. This tomb is in the garden of Charlot- tenburerh.—Acquainted with it by no pre vious descriptions, I left the palace of Charlottenburgh, and walked down the garden alone, the person in attendance having pointed out the direction, and pro mising to follow with the day. It was not without surprise that I pm? suddenly among trees, upon a fair wnite Doric tem- plp. I might, and should have deemed it a mere adornment of the grounds—a snot sacred to silence, or the soft breathed song ; but the cvnress and the willow de- at last made a virtue of necessity, and and consented to sacrifice his wishes and his friendship for Mr. C. to the good ofthe cause. The offensive parts of the ad dress were expunged, and as none af this will appear in the published proceedings you might not have heard it in any other way. On the whole, I did not think the delegation so respectable as I bad feared it would be. There were few members of any note or distinction, and I was sur prised to find the Balt, people so indiffer ent about it; although it was the second day of the meeting, when the speeches and addresses were expected, there were not twenty respectable Baltimoreans present, and very few persons of any sort.” Diplomatic Prodigality.—After all that lias been said in the opposition papers about the extravagance of the Administra tion, in the salaries and outfits of our min isters to foreign courts, it appears that the case is exactly the reverse of what they have represented it to be ; and that $63, 000, just one half, has been saved in one year, of what was allowed by Mr. Monroe for the salaries and outfits of seven minis ters ; viz. to Stockholm, Denmark, Neth erlands, LisboD, Brazil, Buenos Ayres, and Colombia, The salaries of ministers under the administrations of Mr. Monroe and Mr. Madison were $9000 per yea* and their outfits $9000 : Mr. Adams has allowed only $4,500 for outfits, and $4, 500 per-year, salary. If we include the two new missions to Peru and Guatemala, the amount saved from the expense of the nine missions ? that would have been in curred under the policy of former admin istrations, will be $81,000. What mon strous extravagance ! The administration must certainly be put down. If General Jackson had been at the head of our affairs those same missions probably would not have cost us more than twice as much.— And then to think of Mr. Adams’ sending to England a minister who would permit himseif to be taken sick ! O, it is too bad. New Jersey Eagle. Sufficient money would be had by the new ly levied taxes to maintain the General-' ‘Extract of a letter received in Wash Government and meet all exigencies, and the attention of the Executive would be immediately turned to “ ways and means” to defray the debts incurred by the Goy-* eminent for supplies to theii respective States, and debts due the naval and mili tary men, and known by the name of“ vale debts."—A short time, it is believed', will prove to the world the sincerity and patriotism of the Liberator—notwith standing the machinations of his enemies. N. Y. Enquirer. Buenos Ayres, Feb. 27.—The British Admiral Otway, and the American Com modore Biddle, have taken out of the Brazilian squadron at Monte Video all the British and American seamen, who mav have been impressed, or whose time of service has expired. This is a severe blow to the blockaders. They have thus lost 135 English sailors, and about 50 North Americans. It was upon applica tion of the seamen, and after due inquiry, that the above proceedings took place. rlared it as a habitation of the dc-ad.— There was an aged invalid busily occupi ed about thejportal, in sweeping awav the dead and yellow leaves which gathered there, and which the November blast, in mockery ofnis vain labour, drove back ur*on it, in larger and louder eddies. He shook his gray head at me, and not seeing anv body with me, warned me petulantly awav. Nav, when the guardian came, it might be fancy, but he seemed ill pleased that the sanctuary should be violated. Upon a sarcophagus of white marble lava sheet; and the outline of a human form was plainly visible beneath its folds. Tt seemed as though he removed a wind ing sh£et, to show a beloved corpse, when the person with me reverently turned it back and displayed the statue of his queen It is a portrait statue recumbent, said to be a perfect resemblance ; not as in death, but when she lived to bless and be bless ed. Nothing can be more calm and kind than the expression of her^features. The hands are folded on the bosom ; the limbs are sufficiently crossed to show the repose oflife. She does but sleep—she scarce sleeps; her mind and heart are on her sweet lips. It is the work of Rauch, and the sculptor may, indeed, be proud.—He has given to the widowed king a solaceior his life. Here Rie King often comes, and passes long hours alone ; here he brings her children annually, ta offer garlands at her grave. These hang in withered mournfulness above this living image of their departed mother; and each year sees them renewed. V *> Even a stranger might sit soothed for hours by the side of this marble form; it breathes such purity, such peace. I wish it was more the custom in these days to place the portrait-statue, recumbent, on the monument of the dead. It is the finest kind of memorial; nor less so, I think, even where, as in the middle ages, it is allowed to approach to the appear ance of the corpse, provided the features be preserved, and the general execution, nature s-the fillet round the temples, the checks slighfly collapsed, and the limbs stretched out in the stony rigidity of death, have a most affecting and sublime charac ter. The finances of the Brazilian govern ment were in a deplorable condition, the revenue from the customs having greatly diminished, and the bank paper (of which it may be said there was upwards of 18 millions in circulation) having depreciated 55 per cent, since the commencement of ington, dated Baltimore May 23,1827. “I was present at the Convention of the Jackson delegates in Baltimore yesterday, and heard mucli speechifying. Maxcy snd Winchester were the most conspicuous members. The Address presented by the committee appointed the day before, was written by Maxcy, and by him read to the Convention. It is very long, aod part of it extremely well written, though there was one measure recommended in it strongly insisted on by some of the dele gates which was near producing a schism in the views of the party: for the majority as strongly insisted on its rejection. It was to identify the cause of M.. Calhoun with that of Gen. Jackson, and to run him with that party for Vice Presidency again. When that part of the address came to be read, it was moved to expunge i’j Maxcy defended it, asserting that Mr. Calhoun had undergone immolation in the cause of the opposition, and that therefore it would be unjust in the Jackson party to desert him—with many arguments as to the advantage of uniting his influence in the South, See. But, it was finally deter mined by the majority, that it would be of no advantage to have him, and that if it would, they could not be persuaded to ac cept him on any terms. The argument praand con became so warm, that I be gan to expect a rupture. Maxcy seeing tiie strong and decided aversion toMr.C.; Great Southwestern Road. Chillicothe, May 10.—We have the pleasure of informing our readers that Colonel Long and Lieutenant Trimble, of the Corps of Engineers, in the service of the United States, for exploring aud sur veying the great Southwestern Rpad from Zanesville, in Ohio, to New Orleans, ar rived in town on Tuesday of this week, and departed for the Southwest on the succeeding morning. We understand that they are passing over the contempla ted route, with a view of making a genor al reconnoisance of the countiy, and to collect such facta, as to the practicability of constructing this great national work, as may present themselves from a topo graphical survey of the same;—that when they shall have examined the country as far South as Florence, at the foot of th Muscle Shoals, in the State of Alabama, they will there be met by General Bern ard, the Chief Engineer, vho will take op the line thence, South, to the point where it intersects the great Southern mail route from Washington City to Orleans, From Florence, Col. Long and his party will commence a critical examination, and sur vey Northward to Zanseville, the point of divergency from the great National Road now making from the right bank of the Ohio river, opposite Wheeling, to Mis souri. We also understand, that the prom inent points indicated in their instructions from.the War Department from Zanes ville Southwest, are Lancaster, Chilli- cotlie, Limestone, Lexington, Nashville, and Florence,jn Alabama. -so©— Buonaparte's Small-Clothes.—Alex ander’s admiration of Napoleon was, as is well know^ unbounded, and he manifested it in every way. A line in a play perfor med before them, was, “Tbcfriendship of a great man is a present from the Gods:” Alexander bowed to Napoleon, and said “that line was written for me.” He even carried his respect fqr Napoleon so far, as to rise when he entered the theatre. Napoleon knew how to flatter his bro ther Emperor, and xent Colonel Henry to him one morning to give the sign and coun tersign for the day. “My brother Napo leon is too confident, too amiable ; it is im possible to be mere gallant; but I atn not at home; I am his gue*t, it is for him to give the word; go, I pray you, and tell him so.” “ Sire, I have orders not to re turn without obtaining it from your ma jesty.” “ Well, as he insists on it, I will, give it,—Erfurth and Confidence." One day Alexander expressed his ar dent desire to have a pair of Napoleon’s breeches. Duroc, the grand Marshall of the palace, sounded his master on the sub ject. Napoleon laughed heartily. “Oh, by all means,” said he,“ give him them all if he wishes it, only leave me a pair for a change.” This may be vouched for as authentic ; but it is not equally certain, though strongly affirmed by many, that Alexander, who was very superstitious, made the campaigns of 1812 and 1813 in Buonaparte’s breeches.-—[Anecdotes not in the forthcoming History.] “A girl, named Skinner, fourteen years of age, residing in White-street, Carter- gate, in this town, had this operation per formed, od Wednesday, February 14th, being the first time it has been successful ly attempted. She was attacked with rheu matism last Januaiy, at which time Mr. Jowett, the surgeon to St. Mary’s parish, discovered, by the use of hisstethroscope, that the pericardium and lining membrane of the heart, were inflamed likewise. By very active’^ measures, the severity of the complaint was subdued and she appeared to be recovering; but the stethroscope conjoined with'other signs, indicated that considerable effusion, or dropsy, had taken place in the pericardium. On the 13ti* of February she became much worse, and on the 14th was so bad, that it was evident she could not survive the night,unless some elief was afforded. The operation having previously been proposed, was then con sented to, and was performed by Mr. Jow ett the same afternoon, in the presence of Dr Mason,(the consulting physician,) an assistant, and the patient’s'frends. It was at first intended to have drawn the fluid out by means of a syringe pump, fitted witii proper apparatus ; but an accidental cir cumstance occasioned, what has since proved a m?..#r al improvement, viz. the evacuation of (he fluid into the left cavity of the chest, which being in a healthy state absorbed it in a very shaft time. Within twelve hours after the operation there was a manifest improvement; and we are hap py to sav, that although she still remains in a weak and exhausted state, considera ble hopes of recovery are entertained. Nottingham Journal, A hint to mothers.—All young SbimaL* naturally delight to be in the open air, iu perpetual motion ; but we signify our dis approbation of this intention of nature by confining our infants mostly in houses and swathing them when born, as tightly as possible. This natural instinct appears very strong, when we see a child released from its confinement in the short inteivai betwixt pnilingofits day clothes, and swath ing it again before it is put to sleep. The evident tokens of delight which the little creature shows in recovering the free use of its limbs, and the strong reluctance it discovefs to be again remitted to its boa- dage, one should think would strike con viction of the cruelty and absurdity of this practice into the most stupid of mankind. Broken Doses.—Underthis title,ifmed itor of the Richmond Whig is administer ing tothe Richmond Enquirer, one of the warmest advocates of “the cause of Gen eral Jackson, and most zealous enemies of Mr, Adams, certain potions from his own columns in the years 1818-19, See. The Enquirer, be it remembered, con siders Gen. J. a very patriarch in demo cracy and moderation. The Whig con- contrasts the following from the Enqui rer of 1818, with its statements, and opin- ons at the present dav. “I will say before my God, that for the acts, he lias done, on account of the pre cedents lie has set, he (Gen Jackson) ought to be called to answer.

Operation of Tapping the Pericardi um, or Bag containing the Heart. We feel great pleasure in being enabled to lay before bur readers the following account of a most difficult and dangerous operation in surgery, successfully performed, for the firrt time, by a townsman. Desault, an eminent Frepch surgeon, we are told once attempted the same thing, about twenty years ago, bu* found, after the patient’s death, that he had been mistaken in the complaint. Mr. Laennec, and others; have since proposed it; but no one till now has ventured to perform the operation. The result is of extreme importance, not only as it regards the individual more immedi ately concerned, but as proving the practi cability of what has hitherto been consi 1- ered impossible. It will be seen that the case had assumed that decided character, that no other alternative remained to save life. / In a London paper, is published an ex tract from the will of a Mr. Elberlee, a celebrated Surgeon, in which from a warm spirit towards the science be professed, he bequeathed his body to his anatomical Iriends. for dissection. It 'concludes as follows: “ This I do as a last tribute to a sci ence which I have delighted in, and to which I now regret having contributed so little ; but if this example which I have set and design for my professional breth ren, be only followed to the extent I wish, I am satisfied that much good to science will result from it; for if medical men* instead of taking care of their own pre cious carcasses, were to set the example,, by giving their own bodies for dissection, the prejudice which exists iir this country against anatomical dissections, and which is increasing to such an alarming degree, would soon be done away with, and science proportionably benefitted, as the obstacles were removed. Nay, so far da I think this a duty incumbent upon every, one entering the profession, that I would have it, if possible^framed into a law, that on taking an examination Vat a public col- " lege for licence to practice, whether phy sic, surgery or pharmacy, it should be madea sine qua non, that every one tak ing such license, should enter into a spe cific agreement that his body should after his death, become the property of his sur viving brethren, under regulations institu- 1 . ted by authority.” Angling.—11 may not be generally known to -Anglers, that by Besmearing their bait with ?fcsafoetida, or other aro matic, fish from a considerable distance around will seize it with delighi Such is thefascinating influence of these aroma tics, that if they be applied to the whole hand, and ft-.be held under the water the fish will flock to it, and may beeasilv laid hold of. * *
