A BACHELOR'S COMPLAINT. They’re stepping off, the friends I knew, They’re going one by one ; They’re taking wives to tame their lives, Their jovial days are done ; J can’t get one old cfony now To join me in a spree; They’ve all grown grave domestic men, They look askance on me ! hate to see them sobered down » The merry boys and true— I hate to hear them sneering now At pictures fancy drew; I care not for their -married cheer, Their puddings and their soups, Anchtniddle-aged relations round In formidable groups. And though the wife perchance may have A comely sort of face, And at the table’s upper end, Conduct herself with grace— I hate the prime reserve that reigtis, The caution and the state, J hate to see my friend* grow vain Os furniture and plate. 01 give me back the days again When we nave wander’d fiec. And stole the dew from every flower, The fruit from every tree ; • . The friends 1 loved—they will not come— They’ve all deserted me , They sit at home and toast their toot, Look stupid, and sip tea. Tp Jove 1 they go to bed at ten, * And rise at half past nine ; And seldom do they now exceed A pint or so of wine ; They play at whist for sixpences,. They very rarely dance, They never read a word of rhyme, Mor open a rogaacce. They talk—good Lord !of politics, Os taxes and of crops ; And very quiet, with their Hives, They go about to shops ; They get quite skilled in groceries, And (earn’d in butcher’s meat, And know exactly what they pay For every thing they eat. Alas ! alas 1 for years gone by, And for the friends I’ve lost When no warm feeling of the heart Was chill’d by early frost. If these be Hymen’s vaunted joys, I’d have him shun my door, Unless he’ll quench his torch, and live Henceforth a bachelor. Ao old lady in Vermont,who lived in a small log house, was disturbed in the dull ness and oblivion of her usual state, by an accident happening to a stage coach, on the road near her humble dwelling. One of the passengers entered her domicil to take up his bed and board for the night, and she in her simple curiosity inquired of him where he came fiom, and upon his replying “ from Boston,” “Oh dear me,” said she, “ how can yoo live so far' off?’’— Barnstable Pat. Anecdote of a Persian.— He once pawned a watch. Luckies was ihe man who took it in! By day and night was the chronometer of a source us exquisite an noyance to the money-lender. Ilans en tertained a notion,which in a theoretical view,was by no means extravagant;but,prac tically applied,demanded of the patient all the virtue of man of Ux. Ilans reasoned thus—“ Mr.- having my watch, surely I have a right to call at any time to ask' the hour.” And the right he never Jost an opportunity ofenfdrcing.Thus —for the shop lay a few doors from his home—at morning and night he would call, with his one question. “Vhty’s o’clock?” He I Would knock, ring the bell, (bump the chutters—and when at length, the night capped pawnbroker threw up ihe window, and thiust forth .his head—mere, like the night raven, was Mans. P<>p was the question—“Vhat’s o’clock!” At times, by some subtle invention, he would inflict the query as the sting of a narrative—-as thus: ‘Mr. mein vile is just got a lit- teel poy; and as I put down in thu Pible ven the children are porn, vill you tell me—vhat’s o’clock!” At other times his wife, or his “lilted poy” was ill, and having to take medicine at a certain hoar, he just begged to know—‘vhat’s o’clock!’ Mercury—for surely he is Ilan’s tutelar deity; alone knows how longthis war would have been inflicted on the pawnbroker, had not a most fortunate occurrence put an end tu the evil. His shop was one night burnt to the ground,and with it was irretrievably lost the “family watch” of Ilans Kutzlus. Sciences The Uydrolie Pen —T his i* certainly par excellence the age of invention. We have received a pre sent of an instrument called the Hyd. olic Pen, which is extremely ingenious and yet simple in its construction.

THE CORRUPT JUDGE. “ I Have, seen the wall* of Balcutha, but they were desolate. The fire had resounded in the halls, and the voice of the people is heard no more."— -Ossian. By the side of the road between Fermoy and the beautiful scenery of Lismore, is is still to be seen, battling against the all distructive tooth of Time, the ruins of an antiquated house,once the dwelling of the corrupt Judge P. , Its moss-covered walls, and grass grown chambers, are, evident symtotns of its being for many years untenanted; yet there is an attraction,io the lone love liness of its picturesque situation, which would well suit the gloomy mind of one disgusted with the selfish cares of the world. At the time to which this story refers, there lived a gentleman, whom I shall call “Nagle,” in rather reduced circum stances, and who was engaged in a law suit for the recovery of some property ihe final determination of which, if given against him would considerably involve his already limited means. The Trial was expected to take place in a sow days before ihe notorious Judge P. and Mr. Nagle’s opponent had given the Judge a present of fifty bullocks, to secure his good will, which was thought would weigh heavy in his charge to the Jury. Mr. Nagle was very much afraid, that as he could do nothing equal to his op ponent, that his case was hopeless; it therefore had an effect on his mind and spirits, which did not long escape the shrewed eye of Paddy Malowny, his groom, butter steward, or,’ in one word— his right hand man. Paddy was the handiest bye in the world, hid the neatest cabin the beast tilled garden, the most thriveing fig, and on a Sunday,mounted on the master’s old white mare, that was blind, but as Paddy expressed it—"barrio she was lame on three log«,and could’t stand on the fourth, would do very well for a racet”—why, uo one was equal to Paddy, at leas’; so the girls thought—and no one can deny but they are the best judges in such ca ses and many’s the one was cocking her cap at being Mrs. Malowny; but fair Pad dy was no fool, so he let them carry— “Oh! but he’s a purty bye,’—to some o tber market. Well, when he saw his master lookin as if something ail’d him, he made bo'j|d,an ax’d his Honour—‘was it the sicknessjlhe Lord be one us and all harm —that was on him? "No Paddy, my fine fellow,* sis he, “but *tis sick at heart I am; those fifty fat bullocks that Mr.— gave the- Judge that’s to liny the law-suit will be runation to me.” “Eh, then, maslher,” sis Pad, “make your mind asy for call me an otnadhuun (fool) iv I don’t settle (hat to your satis faction —or why? shore isn’t there six score iv ilegant bullocks grazin ablow on the big inch, an tho* there’s ’em our own, we may barrow a hunder ov the best of’em, to go a few miles wid a da cent bye, to see and honest man righted; for though I may purtend to give ’em to bim,sorra a one but will be back agin here to-morrow mornin, plazt God: so put a bould face on you, and go to Cork; and if the Judge won’t use you well; my natno isn’t .Paddy Malowny. The GentlemaiT comprehended the plan in a twiokliii, and having shaken hands wi'h Paddy on the Strength of the proceeding, gave him a dbrop for luck, which was accepted with cordiality, wish ed him success, and prepared to go Cork to know whether his hopes would be blighted or brightened: It was a warm day in July, and Paddy had traversed a long and dusty road, from near Mallow, passing by Castle-Hyde,<fc that sweet country where—‘the best per fume the fields wid music,”—through the nate town of Fermoy, that’s all aone side (at least’twas then),and just a-ncar the ilia wood of Macollop, Paddy spied, en veloped in a cloud ofdus', a coach an six thundering down the hill. Mr. Mallbwny had just finished the Ist bar of Barney Biallaham’s most pathetic address to Miss Judy O’Callahan, when a thought struck him he was the man he wanted on his way to Cork ‘sizes, so he allowed the cattle to move iu the centre of the road, ‘jist to let the giuteels see the bastes." “Holloo 1“ my lad,"Sis a jontleman wid aflwig upon him, peepin out ov the windy o’ the couch—“whose fine bastes arc these ?’’ "Why thin, Sir,” sis Pad, taking off his caubogue ova hat, an makin a low bow, “Plase your Honour, they’re pres ent from my maslher, Mr. Nagle, of the West, to a great |ontleraan ov these parts called Judge. !*■■■ ....** "I’m the Judge.” sis be, rubbin his hands wid joy, "an tell Mr. Nagle that' I’ll befriend him; for ’pon my honor,’ sis he, 'tis a handsome present; and puttin his hand in his pocket by an unusual exertion of generosity, pullin out a fivepeny bit, sis he, "the road is long, my fine fall w, here is something to pay for your sup per.’ “God bless your Lordship’s Honour,’ sis Pad, “but my master knowed your Lordship’s kindness would be pressin money on me, so he gave me lashins.” Paddy knew u ell that he would be glad to keep it. “ Take the bullocks on to my steward, and he will put ’em up safe.’’ I wil wid a hook, thought Pad‘ as the coach drove rapidly off. When a little further on, at tho foot ova hill, a turft of straw over the door of a house, with half a broken sign, on which was once the fig ure of Ireland’s patronsaint, and our he ro’s namesake, but now nought remained save the top of what was meant for a cro sier, and a portion of a milled head, in the face of which jolly red was the most predeminant colour; however,Paddy was not quite so devoid of comprehension, as not to know that within its unpromising walls there was “entertainment for man and baste.” Jle marched in’o the house, an tailed for a dhrop, drove his cattle in to a shed from the heat and rested him self. The approach of night had just com menced to throw a darkened shade over the suiface of this sublunary sphere,when Patrick Malowny, rejoiceing in the suc cess of his undertaking, prepared to re trace his steps, accompanied by the man ifold good wishes of the inmates of the shebeen house he had so liberally patron ized; resuming his tune, grasping his slii lelah, and driving his caitle out before him set out for his residence, whiclf he reached before sun-rise, without any in terruption. When arrived io Cork,the Judge show ed how much lie prized hjs gift; and his charge to the Jury so completely proved the equity of his (Mr. N’s.) claims, not withstanding the nods and winks of the giver oTthe fifty bullocks, that the Jury, without retiring, gave a verdict, without appeal, in favour of Mr. Nagle! The scene on the Judge’s return, must have been amusing. He called his stew ard— " Where have you put the bullocks! "They’re where you left them, my Lord.” "Where I left them; what do you mean, Sii?— Where have you put Mr. Nagle’s bul locks? “Mr. Nagle sent no bullocks here, my Lord.” The Judge was frantic; he perceive! he had been “taken in;” and what was still worse, the other Gentleman made him give back his fifty, on the plea that he was broken faith with; so that for his own sake he was obliged to keep the af fair as secret as possible. It became a standing jest at Mr. Na gle’s table, where Paddy used to be called in to tell the story; he was comfortably settled in a farm,rent free,where he lived, for “ many a day,” until, full of years, he was called to receive, in another and a better world, the reward of his honesty and fidelity in this. Nothing could be more touchingly beau tiful than the answer of a little deaf and dumb boy in the London Asylum to the question, “ why God had blessed others with the facilities of speech and hearing, and deprived him of them ?” He burst into tears, and wrote, " Even so. Father, for so it sccmedgond in thy sight." Matrimony Serious Application.— A French Nobleman, who has just re signed his Commission in the Army, be ing possessed of property to the amount' of 120,000 francs, is desirous of allying himself by marriage to an English single lady, or widow without children, between 20 and 26 years of age, well educated, & having a fortune equal or nearly equal to bis own.

The value of farms necessary to support these sheep, at ten dollars an acre, is $65,000,000, and the capital in vested in the growth of wool $105,000,- 000. Capita) invested in the growth and manufacture of wool $167,500,000. England and Wales feed 26,000,000 of sheep, each of which yields a fleece of 4 pounds weight, or 144,000,000 lbs. which at one shilling per pound is worth £7,- 400,000, These manufactured produce £20,000,000, leaving a profit of £12,- 000,000 per annum to the various manu facturers. The whole quantity of water supplied to the inhabitants of London daily by the water companies, is 29,000,000 gallons, distributed to about 125,000 homes and other buildings, which is at the rate of above 300 gallons e day to each house. From the N. F. Journal of Commerce. An article which we published a few days ago,on the present state of exchanges at Cuba, has proved quite a thorn in the I side of some political economists. Wc stated that the precious metals were now flowing in upon Cuba in abundance—that Cuba was quite rich—that Cuba was pure ly an agricultural country—and that these facts refuted the doctrine, that no country purely agricultural could retain the pre cious metals, or bo otherwise than ex tremely poor. We do not understand those who have taken it into their bead to quarrel with the article, to say that any part of it was untrue. But they “Cuba is a slave .holding country,” Welt every body knows that; and what of it ? The error so often repeated is, that no country, purely agricu tural, can be other wise than poor. Wie refuted the error as its advocates had put it forth ; and now ihey say, ‘ Oh! we did’nt mean that ’are country ; theie is negroes there.’ Then we have to say to these putters forth of propositions: When you mean exceptions, state them ; and do not say all when you mean only a part. If we understand lite proposition right, which would be now maintained, it is this: " No country purely agricultural can be otherwise than poor, except slave holding countries.” Then it is the owning of slaves which gives a country the power to withstand the effect of foreign pauper la* bor. If Cuba then were inhabited by a race of energeticjYankeess, she should come within the rule, and be poor. We do not think so poorly of thesnlelligence around us, as to believe it necessary to dispute such a proposition. It has been proved abundantly, that slave labor is the dearest and least preductiveof all labor.— It has been constantly declared with re gaid to the Southern States of the Union, that their embarrassments were caused, not by the Tariff, but by slavery. Now tfie same men say it is slavery which makes Cuba rich. The fact is that the whole proposition which our opponents attempt to maintain is unsound. No part of it is true. Ag riculture is as well calculated to make a nation rich, as any other occupation ; and much better calculated than any other, to make a people virtuous and happy, the only desirable results of wealth. But the highway to national wealth is the freedom of occupations—agriculture, commerce, manufactures, fisheries, and every possi ble pursuit of honest indust'ry being free and easy to every man. From the Charleston Courier. Military Movements.*— Four Companies of the United States, Artillery sailed on Thursday last, on board the ship 11. Al len, for Fortress Monroe, under the com mand of Major Kirby. The officers ac companying them were Capts. Lyons, Fraser, Galt, and Lieuts. Ringold and Barnes and Assistant Surgeon Iluskell. One company of Artillery, under the command of Capt. Munroe, sailed yester day, in the line ship Fulton,fur New York. His officers are Lts. Morris, Collins and Emory. Two Companies of Artillery under the command of captain Washington, will leave this in the packet schooner Star, for Fort Monroe. The officers are Lieuts. Porter and Bainbridge. Col. Bankhead has relinquished the command of ihe Troops in the Harbor to Major Heileman, and leaves this place to day, in the steam packet David Brown, for Old Point Comfort, and from thence will proceed to the city of Washington - In announcing the departure of Col. B. from this station, we take the opportunity to remark, that the delicate and arduous duties devolved on him, during his recent command here, were discharged in a man ner calculated to increase that high respect for hjs character, as an officer end a gen tleman,which he had obtained in this cum munity, growing out of a long &, intimate acquaintance with him, on a former occa sion. We loarn that Col. Bankhead has been invited by the Secretary of War in the examination, as a member of the Board of Visiters, of the Cadets at West Poin r ; and that he has accepted the invitation. We also take this occasion to observe generally, that the officers on this station, during the late critical period, have all ac quitted themselves in a manner honorably becoming their delicate position—uniting the courtesies of gentlemen, with strict military propriety . From the Chasleston Courier The Philadelphia Gazette, we think, either entertains too strong a confidence in the safely of our institutions, or under rates the jeopardy to which they are ex posed. The danger to the Union is not over—the nullifiers declare ihat "thebat tie is but just begun"— and a systematic effort is now making to rouse and unite the South for some purpose of mischief, which, although as yet ‘squints awful ly,’ we think, at a Southern Confederacy. On this subject, we cannot exercise too much vigilance—the press must continue to sound the alarm—it would be recrean: to its trust were it to cry “all’s well,” when the enemy are still thundering at the gates. We are not disposed to fold our ai ms supinely, and say there is no help for this state of things— there is help for it, to be found in enlightening public opin ion, and cherishing an enlarged and lib eral spirit of American patriotism. The following are the remarks of the Gazette. “Some of <ur editorial brethren are warning the people that the troubles in the Southern States are far from being com posed, and that the disaffection there mav yet dissolve the Union. It is complained that we are not sufficiently solicitous up on this momentous subject, and it is urged that we should keep our eyes continually bent upon the impending danger. Now wherefore, we would ask, ii the necessity of this overwrought anxiety? The last adjustment ofthe Tariff was accepted by the most discontented portion of the south, as a satisfactory compromise;-and if they now choose to change their sentiments on that head, or if they think proper to con jure up other causes of dissOntion with the people of the North, wheie is the help for it? The minds of some men are so constituted, that they are perpetually cra ving excitement; they cannot endure a state of tranquillity, even though it be ac companied by every adjunct of prosperi ty and happiness. Such, unhappily, ap pears to bo the case with many of the leading men in the Southern States.— Some of them undoubtedly are averse to the continuance of this Union, and they would gladly assist in establishing a separ ate confederacy of the Southern States. But it docs not seem at all likely that these men, within a short period of time, can so far accomplish their purpose as to make a suitable preparation for the at tempt. Years may elapse before they can sufficiently influence the great body of the Southern people to uniie io ihe pro ject; and, after all, it is not improbable that the popular attachment to the Union may preponderate over every persuasion to its destruction. Why, therfore, should the people of the north be kept in a continual state of excitement, upon remote problematical e vils? Were we ever so unhappy, it would not mend the matter. We cannot in any way prevent the demagogues of S. Caoli na and tho fine spun thenrists of Virginia from holding sweet communion with one another. They are determined to vent a great deaf of splutter about the Presi dent’s proclamation; and were we to dis course to them ever so affectionately upon the legal propriety and absolute necessity of the Enforcing Bill, their wrath would still continue to overboil - Let vs leave them to themselves awhile, <fc see whether •hey can mystify the Southern people.— There is no virtue in weeping over the matter. “Sufficient fur the day is the e- vil thereof:* 1 There is more truth in the following remarks of the North Carolina Journal; “The first gust of nullification, it is true, has blown over, but the storm is not pass ed, the political sky is destined to be o vercast by a cloud of stil! darker hue than that produced by the tariff; there are specks already to be seen on the horizon. Let not the people delude themselves by supposing the danger over and ihe Union safe. The murmurs of the people of our sister State, caused by the high taxes which nullification has entailed upon them, must be drowned in the din of a more general and universal tempest - We shall hereafter allude to the subject again. Let the people be on their g< ard.” RESULTS and PROSPECTS. The Nulification organs are again wrong.— Upon every little seemipg tri umph that they gained, they raised the shoot of a great v’etory. They idly said that the Nullifiers would carry the day.— But they will find themselves wofully out in their calculations. Even the South siders are deserting them. There will be a decided and overwhelming majority in the next Legislature against Nullifica tion. Virginia is true to the back-bone. She goes against the mefd politics of South Carolina. She is devoted to the Rights and to the Union of the States. The immediate scene before us is a resistless evidence ofthe delusions which the Nullifying organs have in vain sought to practise upon the People. First, they sought to hold up the idea, that Robert son could.be elected. Nex>, that Steven son might succeed by a majority of some 75 votes.—When Henrico gave Steven son a majority of 276, one of those modest Editors, who try to browbeat the people, and to blackball all his opponents, cried out, that nothing better could be expec ted from the ignorant citizens of that country. We presume the same bull of excommunication is to be issued against Kew, Kent and Hanover. Even Charles City, the sttong hold of Mr. John Tyler, and one of the asylums of Nullification, has produced 66 voters in favor of Mr. Stevenson—and in spite of the fish-fresh, and the electioneering tiders—and the vehicles that were to be sent out for the transportation of the voters, a majority of only about 70 votes has been given to instead ofa plump majority H 200. Stevenson goes to Hanover with a nett majority of about 340 vote?. He will get there about 2 to 1, according the to the best estimates’we have heard—and the contest in this City will be a close one. Stevenson will clear Robertson in the whole District—by perhaps from 5 to 600 majority.- And thus vanishes the i dle hope of the Nulifiers of South Caro lina and Virginia, that the District of the Metropolis of the Old Dominion would bo carried in their favor. Thus passes away the shout which they were prepar ing to raise about Virginia herself being converted to Nullification. And the va poring ealenhtions of the Nullifiers which are evor to be defeated by the voice of (lie People.— Rich. Enq. 29. ult Prospects of Pensacola.— We have sat isfactory evidence, that our Delegate. Col. While has succeeded in organizing a company, to be called the 'Pensacola as sociation," composed of the largest Capi talists of New York, who have already made purchases, and intend yet to make larger investments, and to erect Store Houses and send out Steam Boats for the Sound and the River above, and go ex tensively into the trade of this place. Mobile and New-Orleans, making Pen sacola tho head quarters, where their a. gents will reside. We are also assured that theres persons intend to apply for a Charter to open the Canal to Mobile and to St. Andrews, if the United States should not execute it. Our Delegate has also organized a Company in Maine to go into the Lumber business extensively and has taken a third part with (hem in the purchases. There cannut be any doubt, that this place will ultimately become one of the finest Lum ber markets in the world. Nature has entirely qualified her for the trade— a good bar, a fine harbor, well adapted and numerous water courses and the best Timber, all conspire to promote this branch of business io Pensacolai-r-ZYori dian. The Port of Pompeii.— A most stri king discovery has lately been made ; no less than that of the long anticipated Port ofPrompei, with its vessels overthrown on their sides, and covered and preser ved by the eruptive volcanic matter which has thus anchored them for so many ages. About thirty masts have been found.— London Atlas. From the Washington Globe, —APril 21. Th*K distinguished Indian warrims, Muk-ka-ta-mish-a-ka -kaik, (BLACK HAWK,) Waw-ba-kee-shik, (Prophet;) Na-pope; Pama-bo; Na-sin-cw-is-kuck, (Black-Hawk’s eldest son;) Fa-wa~sheet, (adopted son of the Prophet,) have arrive cd at the seat of Government, from Jef ferson Barracks. They were conducted thither by Lieut. Alexander, of the Ar my, in conformity with the instructions of the Government. We understand that these celebrated Chiefs of the Sac &, Fox Tribes are held as “hostages for the future good conduct of the late hostile bands,” io conformity with the 7th Article of th a Treaty of Fort Armstrong, made by tlrese confede rated tribes, on the 21st of Sept. 1832, and by Maj. General Scott and Govenor Reynolds, on the part of the United States. These Indians are now on their way to Fort Monroe, with the view to their grea ter personal convergence and accommo dation. She facilities for escape at their recent place of confinement, near St. Louis, being near their native forests, re quired such restraints over their persons and liberty, as would not, perhaps, com- port exactly, with our institutions, or ba. agreeable to the President;—hence, their removal to the Atlantic border, which must greatly ameliorate the present situ ation of these misguided and unfortunate men of the woods, as now, at Fort Mon roe, they comparatively, may be at large, or restricted only, to the limits of that great work. Here, too, they may see, the “blue face of ocean smile,” and if tho scene be less congenial to their nature than their own green prairies of the West, yet, pei haps, they may be reminded of the boundless tract on which, in days that have gone, they bad been accustomed tU roam. We understand that this disposition of Black Hawk, and the hostages named in the treaty, is specially provided for by an act of Congress, from which, as it is at hand, wo will give the extract: . For the expenses of twelve prisoners of war or the Sac and Fox tribes, now in confinement, and to be held as hostages, under the seventh article of the treaty with the Sacs and Foxes’,.of twenty first of September, one thousand eight hundred and thirty two. embracing the cost of provisions nnd clothing, compension to an interpreter, and cost of removing them to n place where they may lie kept in safety,without being closely confined, the sum of two thousand five tin nd red dollars.” An Advertisement.— The following ex traordinary production is given in a pro vincial paper: Run away last night, my wife Bridget Coole.—She is a tight neat body, and has lost one leg.

By the f.ist sailing line ship Florian,Capt. Whitts’ from New York, we have recieved the Mercan tile Advertiser and Advocate of Monday and the ( Journal of Commerce of Wednesday last, from which latter wc extract the Foreign news low: By the packet ship Charles Carroll, Capt. Lee, we have received Parts pat' pers to the evening of Maxell 22d, and Havre to the evening of the 23d. It is reported on the uuthoriiy ofa letter from Smyrna,that Ibrahim Pacha, with 20,000 men, took possession of that city on tho 28th of February. Accounts from Con stantinople to February 27th, make no mention of such an event. Paris March 21.--Yesterday,at noon, the Court of Assizes as j embied to pro nounce judgment in the affair of M. Pau lin, Editor ofthe N»/<ional, and that of M Cuchct, Editor of the Charivari. Tho Judges remained in deliberation in the Counsel Chamber till a quarter past five, when they enteredjhe Court and deliver ed judgment. M. Cudiet was declared guilty of having, with bad faith, given an unfaithful report of the proceedings on lhe-trial, and condemned to a month’s im prisonment and a ft no of 5000 f. with pro hibition to make in the Churivari any re port on judicial proceedings for the space of one year. M. Paulin, for the same rea son, was also condemned to a Cue and term of imprisonment, with interdiction to repot tju licial proceedings in the Nafion alfor two years. The Temps has (he following;—“lf these judgements ate carried into execu tion, there is an end to the freedom of the press. However much accustomed we may be to the enormity of judgements by default, this suipasses all our powers of expression. The Restoration, which for fifteen years was engaged in snet ificing our liberties, presents only one example of such an excess of pow er. We do not however, entertain any apprehension for the ultimate fate of our brethren—the Court of Cassation will do justice to this decree, which is already rejected by pub lic opinion. A painfull impression must nevertheless remain. On seeing the judges of the land eagetly joining the Ad ministration in its acts of violence men begin to ask eadi o'her whether the con test, which was carried on between the Restoration and the press, is not about to be renewed, and whether it may not terminate in another revolution ?’’ Paris March 22.—The Tribune and the Echo Francis of yostoiday were sei sed, the former for its leading article re - lative to tho condemnation of the Nation al and the Charivari, and the latter foi having copied the same nrticle. According to letters from Corfu, King Otlio has already appointed six Greeks to be Generals. According to the Messenger dos Cham bres, oiders have been given at St. Etien ne and the other tpanufactories of arms in the kingdom for the suspension of the fabrication of arms for the present. SPAIN. Bayonne, March 16. “A letter has at rived to day from True,, announcing a partial change in the Span 6 ish Ministry. General Murillo takes the place of Gen. Cruz; San Martin has the Department of the Interior; and the Duke de San Fernando succeeds M. Zea Ber mudez, as Minister of State.
