FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

EUROPE. FRANCE.-A riot and tumult took place in Paris on the 27th of May. It had been reported during several previous days, that the Law Students intended publicly to commemorate the anniversary of the death of young Lallemand, who, it will be recollected, met his untimely fate during the commotions which were excited in that capital by the collegians. The authorities, to prevent their design, had caused the gates of the cemetery Pere La Chaise to be closed, and posted a civil force adjacent. At eight o'clock, a number of youths, belonging to the Schools of Law and Physic, attired in deep mourning, came to the spot in procession, and followed by a numerous multitude. M. Benjamin Constant was there in a hackney coach. The students demanded entrance to the church-yard, and attempted it by force, but were driven away. They rallied, and endeavoured again to enter, directing a volley of stones against the horse gendarmerie, who charged them sword in hand: about twenty were wounded, and eight taken prisoners. The rest then fled.

SPAIN. The last accounts from Spain represent the state of that country as alarming, and fast approaching to a state of anarchy, several provinces being overrun with rebels and malcontents, and the Government being without power, and the prey of rival factions. On the 24th of May, the Cortes voted an address to the King on the state of the nation. This document, which is of considerable length, and which gives a melancholy picture of the state of that country, points out the following measures as necessary to re-establish order, and to save the Constitution:-" The Cortes anxiously request of your Majesty, in order to put an end to the fears by which we are assailed, and to prevent the evils which we have indicated, to order that the national militia be immediately augmented and armed throughout the kingdom; for citizens, armed in defence of their homes and liberties, are the strongest pillars of the Constitution. Let the permanent army be organized with equal zeal and rapidity that army so deeply entitled to the gratitude of your Majesty, and to that of the country, and whose exploits and virtues excite the admiration of the universe. At the same time, the Cortes hope that your Majesty will inform every

foreign Government which, whether directly or indirectly, would take a part in our domestic concerns, that the nation is not in a situation to receive laws; that she possesses power and resources to cause herself to be respected; and that if she knew how to defend her independ ence and her King with glory, it is with the same glory, and with still greater exertions, that she will always know how to defend her King and her liberty."

PORTUGAL. Accounts of the 4th May from Lisbon state, that a conspiracy, which had been formed there for the overthrow of the Constitutional system, had been de tected just in time to prevent the ill con sequences which might otherwise have attended it. It appears that the first step taken by the Government, on being made acquainted with the plot, was to issue a decree for the suspension of the habeas corpus act, which has been in force ever since the adoption of the Constitutional system. This measure led to the arrest of twenty-six persons said to be implica ted in the conspiracy. These individuals were examined privately, and it was determined that six of them should be im mediately set out of the kingdom. It is said that none of them were persons of any consideration.

POLAND. By an answer of the Russian minister in Poland, to certain addres ses of the Council of Wayvodes, to the Emperor Alexander, it would appear, that the Court of Petersburgh is not without some fear that the Poles may attempt to regain their independence, as the minister, in the Emperor's name, strongly cautions them against imitating the revolutionary proceedings of other countries. It is thought, that the assembling of Russian armies may be to guard against the possi bility of such an event, as well as to watch the Turks.

TURKEY, RUSSIA, & GREECE.-The continental papers are still filled with con tradictory rumours regarding the state of the dispute between Russia and Turkey: and while, one day, we are told that all their differences are amicably settled, we have, in the next, accounts of an actual de claration of war, and the advance of the hostile armies. Upon the whole, however, the balance of opinion at present seems to be in favour of the continuance of peace. The contest between the Greeks and Turks, in the meantime, is continued with unaba ted keenness on both sides, and the island

of Scios has been lately taken and retaken from the Greeks, on which occasion the Turkish troops exercised all their usual savage barbarity upon the inhabitants. Advices from Joannina to the 2d ult. represent Chourschid Pacha as placed in a situation which becomes every day more embarrassing. His differences with the Albanians and Suliotes increased instead of being appeased; and though he threatened to put to death, by the most horrible torments, four hostages whom he had found in the Castle of Joannina, and who had been given to Ali Pacha by the Suliotes, when that Chieftain entrusted his youngest son to their care, that brave people refused to betray their charge, and continued to protect the youth, who is said to have reached his twenty-first year.

ASIA.

EAST INDIES.-The Culcutta papers of the 16th December last, contain advices from the settlement of Sincapore to the 4th November, which are interesting, as denoting the state of the trade in that quarter. Mr Morgan, a merchant of Sincapore, had recently returned from a voyage to Siam and brought very favourable accounts of the disposition of the King of Siam towards the settlement. It was feared, however, that the commercial intercourse with that country would not, for that season, be on a large scale, in consequence both of the failure, to a certain degree, of the crops, and from the ravages of the cholera morbus among the lower orders. The trade with the island of Borneo had experienced a very great increase, scarcely any of the vessels from thence having passed over to Malacca orto Penang, but giving the preference universally to Sincapore. The trade with the island of Celebes was also flourishing and extensive, not less than from 80 to 100 of the vessels of that island being in the harbour of Sincapore at the date of the letters, besides many that had gone up to the Straits. The vessels from Celebes generally brought the cargoes of the greatest value, and those islanders had acquired a large share of the carrying trade of that quarter.

CHINA. An unfortunate affair has occurred in China, which, for the present, has occasioned a suspension of commerce between the British East India Company and that country. This suspension took place on the 23d of December last, in consequence of an affray between part of the crew of the Topaz frigate, and some Chinese at Ling Ting, an island in the mouth of the Tigris. A letter from Canton of the 3d January says" It appears, the day before, some of the frigate's men had

VOL. X.

taken some sweet potatoes from their fields, and also two jars of wine from an individual. The following day the inhabitants beat the gong, assembled to the amount of 80 or 100, and attacked our unarmed men soon after they landed. The Lieutenant commanding the frigate seeing the attack with his glass, fired some shot to cover his men, while he landed the marines. The inhabitants were followed into their village, where, I am sorry to say, our men, in the heat of passion, broke into the houses and wounded many, and two have died. Fourteen of our men were wounded before the others came to their rescue; they are now all nearly recovered. Had any of them died, the account with the Chinese would have been balanced; but as it is, they demand two lives for the two dead men. As they were the attacking party, we never can admit this sort of barter. The Viceroy of Canton is determined not to retract in his demand, and here we stand. Trade all stopped, and no prospect of a renewal."-In consequence of this affair, all the English belonging to the factory at Canton had gone on board the different ships, with their families and property. When the last accounts came away, on the 1st of February, the differences remained unadjusted; but it was expected that their own interest would soon teach the Chinese to abate in demands which can never be granted by the British. Among civilized nations, an accidental rencontre, attended with the loss of two or three lives, would not threaten the destruction of their friendly relations. It would seem, however, that, in the case of violent death, the Chinese acknowledge no distinction. The doctrines of manslaughter, justifiable homicide, &c. all those niceties of the English law, are unknown to them; and every case of violent death, by the hands of a foreigner, is to be treated and punished as wilful murder. This was the law lately dealt out to a poor American sailor.A pot was thrown overboard by the unfortunate man, by which a Chinese woman was killed, and he was given up by his Captain, and expiated the offence with his life.

AMERICA.

UNITED STATES.-The New York papers of April 17, contain a report made to the House of Representatives upon the subject of the American navy. It details in substance, the progress which has been made in building vessels of war during the last six years, pursuant to an act of Congress, which appropriated the sum of one million of dollars annually for the

5 L

gradual increase of the navy of the United States. The general result is as follow:

"That, pursuant to the instructions and objects of these laws, there has been built and equipped one ship of the line, viz. the Columbus; and that there have been built and launched three ships of the line, viz. the Ohio, the North Carolina, and the Delaware; and one frigate, the Potomac, at Washington; that there is now on the stocks built, and ready to launch, one ship of the line at Boston; that there are now on the stocks, nearly finished, one ship of the line at Portsmouth, N. H., one frigate at Philadelphia, and one frigate at New York; that there is on the stocks, about half finished, one ship of the line at Gosport, Virginia; that preparations have, for some time past, been making for putting on the stocks one ship of the line at Boston, one frigate at New York, one frigate at Portsmouth, N. H., and one frigate at Washington; and that the frames, and nearly all the timber and other materials, have been provided for building one ship of the line at Philadelphia, one frigate at Washington, one frigate at Boston, and one frigate at Norfolk; that the live oak frames, and nearly all the other timber, and two steam engines, have been provided for two steam batteries at New York, and one steam battery at Washington."

CARACCAS.-Accounts from Santa Fe to the date of the middle of February, describe the President Bolivar to be then advancing with a large force towards Quito, and to have received the agreeable intelligence of the voluntary surrender or adhesion of the province. Yucatan and the isthmus of Panama have also issued declarations of independence. The Congress was tranquilly proceeding in regu lating the economy of the several parts into which the Republic of Columbia is divided, and other matters tending to give permanency to the new order of things. The advices from the city of Caraccas were to the 19th March. The Royalists held Puerto Cabello, but the place was closely invested, and desertions were daily taking place, which report the Spanish force within the city to be reduced to the utmost extremity.

BRAZILS.-American papers of the 7th of May contain accounts of disturbances at St Salvador, which had been occasion. ed by the arrival of a European general to take the command as governor. The Brazilian commander refused to give up his authority, and he was supported by the native troops and the populace, who were fired upon by the Europeans. Brazilians were at length compelled to retreat to fort San Pedro, with the loss of 300 killed and wounded.

The

PROCEEDINGS OF PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-May 6.-Earl Grey postponed his promised motion on the Agricultural Distress. He took the opportunity to animadvert, in terms of great severity, upon the Report of the Agricultural Committee of the House of Commons, and to arraign all the late measures of Ministers, as well those which had received the sanction of Parliament, as those which are in progress. His Lordship particularly alluded to the scheme of pretended relief to the agricultural interest, which it was understood Ministers had borrowed from the Committee; to the "Dead Expenditure" arrangements, and the transactions with the Bank: in conclusion, he remarked upon the inconsistency of the former declarations of Miniters, that taxes were no burden, with their present professed anxiety for reduction.

The Earl of Liverpool replied by a defence of the measures impeached by Earl Grey. He said Government had never expected that any legislative measure could give complete relief to Agriculture, but they had endeavoured to select the most efficient palliatives. Govern

ment taxation (as distinguished from parochial taxation,) he said, affected the agricultural population less than any other class, and therefore little advantage could result to the agriculturists from any prac ticable reductions of public taxes. Te the taunt that Ministers were now acting inconsistently with former declarations in defence of taxation, he replied by a de nial of its truth. He himself had always expressed an opinion, that taxes were an evil less only than a violation of the pub. lic faith. With respect to the Bank, be could only lament the monopoly which that Corporation enjoyed by its Charter; for as their right was indisputable, he could go no farther without the consent of the proprietors, which they were not disposed to sell at a cheap rate.

May 13.-The Earl of Rosebery pre sented the Report of a Committee of Privileges on the election of Scots Peers, which having been read, the Noble Lord moved, that notice of the Resolutions be given to the Lord Clerk Register (his Lordship deeming a Bill unnecessary,) which was agreed to. The following are the
