The suavity of ration Reception----Corperation | manser of the various candidates for office, Econom, Corporation Extravagance. | was truly ludicrous and amusing. The teeling character of their enquiries after the health of the delegates, and their wives and children, was fol- lowed with still more endearing protestations of re- gard and favors intended when alluding to their own humble pretensions to the office they were de- sirousof obtaining. Little knots of politicians of the small beer and brandy and water order, were seen assembling about old Tammany at dus, and long ere the hour of the meeting of the Convention, the vicinity was peopled with candidates and their friends, on the sharp look out for every straggling delegate, who had not been previously sounded. At about eight o'clock, the ‘* Pewter Mug,” “* Widow Lynch’s,” “Old Joe Murphy’s,” “ Little Tammany,” “The Hole in the{Wall,” and other piaces of resort, began to swarm with the overflow ef patriotism, rum and gin cocktails, and all was excitement awaiting the result of the first ballot of the delegates for the office of Sheriff’ Nine o’clock came, and still no result. The consequence was thst considerable cursing and swearing, and grumblings, like distant thunder, was heard among those whose patience was not of Job-like character; but time soon brought the tidings of ‘a ballot,” “ aballot,” and all rushed to hear the result. The ‘ Pewter” had been selected as the headquarters of Jon J. Westervelt, one of the candidates. ‘Widow Welch’s” opposite, by Harry Atwood and his friends, while John Emmans, more cunning, and in order to cover more ground by his influence, changed his position, as the battle raged, from ** Little Tamma- ny,” to ‘Old Joe Murphy’s” and ‘‘ Tommy Wad- low’s.” Thus stationed, the leaders were all ex- citement, when down came the delegates and run- nets with the following, as the result of the first ballot :— Henry Atwood, John Emmans,. . John J. Westervelt, Wm.C. Seaman,. Allan M. Sniffen, Blank,...... 05 The old Hero of the Thames, in the kindness of his heart, has resolved to gratify the wishes of many who live in the bustle of receptions and entertain- ment of the distinguished, by visiting New York when he has finished the :mportant business which ealied him to the eastern States, and the review of the Connecticut militia and volunteer companies, whose martial immortality has now been achieved. He may be here on or about Thursday next, and in the mean time the recently appointed committees, who once allowed him to slip tbrough their fingers, are meeting in solema council, to prepare every thing for the occasion but that which is the all-es- sential, for “ready money is Aladdin’s lamp.” The Common Council will doubtless vote him the use of the Governor’s room, in which they will make of hima raree show for the amusement of the gaping idlers, but not a “rap” will be appropriated for either brandy cocktails, segars, extra dinners, or plebeian “ drinks.” When President Tyler visited this city, the economical corporation not only took care that he fared sumptuonsly, but they fed cthers and called them his suite, gave dinners to hundreds of hungry hangers-on, and puffed away all care themselves for the amount of the bill, in the smoke thirty-seven dozen of the best segars, which vould undoubtedly keep a pretty considerable her o’er their heads”; but when an old soldier sman, whose services the nation is ready pays them a flying visit, he is to be treated loafers whose services it would be diffi- cover. President Tyler, three Secreta- nd one poet lauriet, in the person of his elul boy, whose presence was necessary in the train, are ingeniously, by a species of legerdemain, multiplied into twenty-eight persons, and hence the first item of the bill which the city officers paid at one of our hoteis, reads thus :— President and suite consisting of 28 persons, $2 per day for three days, $i6s Now, deducting three Secretaries and one private Secretary, and 24 remain; if, therefore, an actual President is equal to 24 Secretaries of State, of ‘War, or of the Treasury, we seriously ask the Cor- poration how many a President’s successor is equal to?

There was little excitement, and the only result worthy of note was that all the delegates chosen were consi- dered to be friends of Henry Clay for the Presiden- cy. The Whigs wiil therefore nominate a clean Clay ticket for the fall election. The 118 bottles of wine for the more dainty, 31 bot. tles of brandy for the ‘‘ smashers,”’ $11 wosth of le- monade for the teetotallers, or for intermixture with the brandy, and 37 dozen cigars, at a cost of near $300, is a fair sample of a corporate “‘ free and easy.” ‘That a large item for “ breakage” should follow, is by no means surprising, for as some staid old Alder- man, unexpectedly overtaken on such a joyous oc- casion, tried to sing, ‘“We wont go home till morn- ing,” and threw a becoming and suitable determin- ation inte his actions, “‘ breakages’? would neces_ sarily oceur, and if so, they must be paid for. The « drinks,” however, after all these items, puzzle us. it may be that porters became necessary to enable the “ carousers” to go home when morning did ar- rive, as they had determined in poetic measure not to go home before, and an item for such service would favor this presumption, and “‘let’s take a drink all round,” would be natural under such cir- cumstances. The 3 extra breakfasts were doubt- less for seme of the “codfish aristocracy,” who took pot luck early to avoid the common rabble. If, then, such liberality on the part of the Corpora- tion signalized them so recently, and all their ex penditures attendant on the reception of the Presi dent cannot be looked for in a tavern bill, why should Dick Johnson, who is old in his country’s service, be treated merely to empty show and pa- rade? If they will not treat him to segars by the dozen, for heaven’s sake permit him to “puff his pipe’s ambrosial gales,” and give the old hero a cold cut and a cocktail. ParrtaMeNTaRy Procrepines IN Canapa.—It is amusing to see the dignity which the little body called the Parliament of the United Canadas, as- sumes. Their jurisdiction is limited to the local matters of a miserable colony—a kind of parish meeting business—for they have not power to pass an act of any importance without the permission of the English government, and yet they could not assume more airs if they were a Congress of Kings Theirjbedizened door-ke epers, whose insolence is co-equal with the ludicrous self-importance of the parliamentary members, are doubtless designed to aid the phantasy with which their election seems to have possessed them, and all their proceedings par- take of a mock-imitation—a sort of serious bur- lesgue of the Imperial Parliament. By the latest reports which we have from the seat of govern- ment, we learn that they have been engaged, in imitation of the British Parliament, whose jurisdic- tion encircles the globe, in a debate on the answer to the address from the throne,and a trial of strength of parties. The minority on the address in the le- gislative council, was precisely four, which makes the affair still more ludicrous, while it exhibits the power of the government over the members. If they would dispense with high-sounding lly, and return to common eense legislation, they might de- serve their per diems, and benefit'their constituents. It isintimated that a dissolution of the Parliament is to be asked fer, that an appeal may be made to, the people on the seat of government question, but with the exception of those imme- diately interested by their proximity to the congre- gated wisdom, the people generally have mote re- gard to the business transacted than to the place where it may be done. Nevertheless, this question threatens all sorts of evil influences on the peace of the Province, and it will be made a stalking horse for aspiring politicians, for some time to come. Ounarp Steam Suips.—The new steamer build- ing for this line of packets will be ready to take her station as a regular boat early in the spring, under command of Capt. Ryrie, now inthe Acadia, will be succeeded in that ship, after another yage, by Captain Shannon, formerly cf the Co- emb.c. The other boats will remain under the mmend of their present gentlemanly comman- rs, until further notice from this quarter. In caking of these beautiful steamers, we cannot for- get Mr Heatley, the polite steward of the Caledo- nia, the favorite in the line, and so perfecta master of his profession that some of our most experienced can profit by taking a few lessons frem him. The most magnificent sbip that ever floated would not become popular unless her officers made her so; consequently nothing is so important in equipping the Atlantic steamers, where competition runs high, asjgentlemanly officers in every department. The Cunard line of steamships are nearly perfect, sofar as this necessary feature is concerned. Although there are instances of preference, as in the individu- al named above, there is not an unpopular man holding any important station on board. We trust the line of French steamers will be equally as for- tunate in the selectiens made for their government and control. AMERICAN ATHENAEUM IN Paris.—The American residents in Paris have established a Library and Reading Room, uader the above name, for the pur- pose of affording an agreeable place of meeting for American citizens, and a place where they may ob- tain publications relating to their native land. The Representative of the United States at the Court of France, with his consent, is to be the President of the Association, and the Consul of the United States at Paris, the Vice President, besides whom there are three directors. The President at the present time, is Henry Leyard, Esq. Charge d’Affairs of the United States, and Vice Bresident, Lorenzo Drape, Esq. U. S. Consul at Paris. Authors and publishers of valuable American works, by sending them to this institution, may place them where they will become more extensively known ‘abroad, and at the same time render a service to the residents or visitors in Paris, and particularly to the members of the Association. Deeavrut Exrtosion.—A powder mill was blown up at High Falls, about seven miles from Cattskill, on Tuesday afternoon about three o’clock. There were six persons in the building at the time of the explosion, ali of whom were blown to atoms! Some three hundred kegs of powder are said to have been ip the mill when the accident occurred. The fore- inan was indisposed, and the person having charge of the packing and drying house is supposed to have been intoxicated. The report of the explosion ex- cited considerable alarm at Cattskill, many persons ‘aking it for an earthquake. A similar accident oc- curred at this same place three or four years ago, when four persons were killed, Tse Aprroacnine Farr at Nisto’s.—A hasty glance at the interior of the garden last night, satie- fied us, that persons desirous, or intending to exhibit wares at the Fair, must move with haste to secure a good location.

After paying the customary honors to the Gover- nor, by salutes from the ship, the Hon. Mr. Cusnene and myself came on shore to pay our personal respects, first to our Consul], Mr. Sprague, who afterwar com panied us to the Governor, Sir Robert Thomas Wil- son. We remained on shore and spent the afternoen with our Consul, intending te return to the ship in the eve- ning, and | had ordered my boat to beon shore fer us by Yor’clock. At about 8 o’clock a message was brought to me that the Missouri wes on fire; | repaired, without a moment’s delay, to the only gate throughjwhich I could pass the walls ofthe city, the others being, as is the cus. tom, closed at sunset. (i learned afterwards, however, that they were all thrown open, by direction of the Go- yernor, the moment he heard of the fire on board the Missouri. I am pleased to mention here that every as. sistance was rendered to us by that distinguished gentle- man, as well as from Sir George Sartorius, commanding Her Britannic Majesty’s 74, the Malabar, as will be seen y & communication from me te those gentlemen, a copy of.which, I have the honor herewith to enclose) My boat, fortunately, been sent as soon as the fire broke out, and I found her at or near the landing place ; when I arrived on board, which was in about twenty minutes, perhaps, from the moment I received thestartling intelli- gence, | found the flames raging with violence, and the officers and crew exerting themselves to the utmost to overcome them. Every person on board was so disposed of, or stationed in such a position, where he could do the most possible good. The powerful pumps on board had with slacrity been rigged, with their hoses attached, and were in operation; those men who were not at the pumps, were employed in drawing and passing water in buckets, and pouring it upon the flames. At asingle glance, however, I disco- vered the prudence of flood ng the after magazine, which was immediately done; the forward one having already very prudently been ordered to be flooded before I resch. ed the ship; soon after I did so, two engines in large bo well manned, came alongsi These were sent off Sir Robert Wilson, the Goveenor, and bj energetic exertions of Sir George Sartori cers, with the seamen from his shi in hopes the devouring element conquered; but the flattering hope was soon dissipated by its breaki out again with increased violence; this only increase the energies and zealous efforts of the officers and crew of the Missouri, and our friendly auxiliaries, until they were driven from their stations by the flames. When I saw there was not a ray of hope left to save that noble ship, I summoned a council of the officers, ‘and those English officers who were near me, to ascertain their views, they quickly and unanimously decided, there was no hope leit ofsaving theship. I therefore gave the order for alt le to quit her without delay, and without confusion, for by this time there was but very ce remaining for those on board to stand clear of the flames and smoke; the wind had increased, and the y the able and and his offi- ip, that at one time I was ship was in flames fore and aft; the crew immediately took to th r, and received the ready assistance of boats, antici bien begs exigency, from her Britannic Ma- jesty’s ship Malabar,and from the vessels in the harbor. Such was the state of the ship, when the officers and crew were compelled to give her up, they saved nothing but what they stood in. After had seen every person out of the ship, I lowered myself down by a rope from the starboard wheel hous: and was taken on board one ofthe boats in waiting. Thi occurred at half past 11. The immense number of boats surrounding the burning ship at this time, were directed to pull out of the way as fast as possible, fearing lest the magazines miaht not have been effectually flooded, an explosion might take p! and in that event the loss of life would have been great. Foriunately, however, the magazines did not explode until 3 o'clock’ in the morning, 80 completely were they flooded; and, as they exploded under water, the shock was not severely felt. At the po- lite invitation of Sir George Sartorius, the crew were sent on board his ship, the Malabar, and have remained there until to-day. l’have had them removed toa ship chartered for the purpose of conveying them and the officers to the United States. As the officers and crew have by this unfortunate and unlooked for event been rendered completely destitute of clothing, and every thing else, it has become absolutely necessary, for the preservation of their healths andcom- fort, to have them supplied immediately with comforta- ble wearing apparel, and I have directed the Purser to make the necessary purchases, The ship chartered is the Rajah, of 600 tons, of Boston, and bound to that port, and will sail in eight days from this date. I have had the crew employed, as well as lighters from the shore, in saving as much ofthe propesty as possible trom the wreck; the gun: ichors, chain ca- bles, &c., will. probably be recovered in time to send them by the Rajeh, and all such articles as can be got from the wreck before she sails—the remainder will be senttothe United States by the next vessel which from this port. The machinéry,boilers, and many va! parts will be recovered. After saving all that is val le, or can be ofany use whatever, request Mr. Sprague ok Consul, to sell the remainder to the best advantage. Udtil to-day I have not been enabled to ascertain any sa- tisfactory evidence as to how the fire originated. The following, Sir, is the testimony of three coal heavers,who were at work at the time inthe engine room, and in the vicinity where the fire broke out. I will state the cir- cumstances {in their own words, taken down asthey re- lated them :— Joux Sutton states that “ about ten minutes te eight o’clock I went to the starboard enginver’s store room,with a globe lantern, to get a par of beam scales to weigh coal, which they were at that time taking in; in getting down the scales a wrench fell and broke a glass demijohn, con- taining spirits of turpentine; 1 wiped up as much as I could; I then went down to the cylender where they were at work to see how much of the spirits had run down. Iwas on my way to the chief engineer to report the circumstances of breaking the demijohn, and had just got on the berth deck ladder, and had not not reached the ar deck, before I heard the cry of ; Iturned round ediately, and saw the flame bursting up through the ings above the steam chest; Iran on deck, gota fire et, and endeavored to extinguish tie flame.” 1LL14M J. Wittiams states—I wos by the starting bars in the engine room, at work onthe outside of the cylinder; we heard something dripping down, and we sung out to Sutton not to be dropping his water here (for there was usually a bucket of water in the store room above); he said you need not be afraid, no more would be coming dowa; we went on in our work, and the first thing I heard Clum sing out fire; at the same time I saw the flame burst up suddenly from the felt and canvass which was around the steam chest. I jum) with Clum to the steam chest and pipe, and endeavored to haul the felt off, which we were not able to do; 1then went to work to try and extinguish it.” Arrep CLUM states—“ I was at work putting onthe cover of the cylinder; Isaw something like water drip- ping down, and I sung out.to Sutton, who wasin the store room above; he said something which I did not under- stand; J had a light near me, andthe water, as I supposed it to be, had nearly wet through the felt’ and canvass which was around the steam chest, when it fell down uj on my lamp, which was below; immediately the whole felt and canvass was in a sheet of flame, and, tegether with Willit tried to haul the felt off, but could not succeed; the fame blazed op. and caught the boards which made the flooring of the store room immediately above; it was impossible to work about the packings of the cylinders with a lantern.” ‘There is no doubt on my mind,Sir, as to the correctness of the above statements, and to that circumstance alone must we attribute the dreadful calamity which has over. whelmed myself and officers with the deepest and most painful feelinge—the destruction of our noble shi During the sad and melancholy scene I am hapry in having it in my power to bear testimony of the zeal and firmness of all the officers; they evinced on thistrying occasion a coolness which does them infinite credit, an is alike honorable to themselves and to the service The crew also did their duty like men, and deserve well of their country; there are three or four who were par- ticularly distinguished for their zealous efforts and good conduct, and of whom | will speak again in another com- munication. Thave the happiness to inform you that all the crew of the Missouri were saved without a single aceident occur. ring to any of them. itd ona review of allthe circumstances connected with this disastrous occurrence, you, Sir,should deem it expe- dient that a Court of Enquiry should be directed to inves- tigate the facts of the case, | should be much gratified if such a course should be adopted. 1 have the honor to be.

The defendants Soe this claim, the rates being, as they allege, $350 ond $400. They admit, that at these rates, there isa balance owing to the plamtift for $36 37, which balance they had teadered, but was refused. The Jury, alter hearing much evidence ax to what the plaintiff's services are worth, and the amount of selary paid to clerks in similar establishments, returned averdict for the plaintiff, allowing him the balance ad- mitted to be due by the defendants. For plaintiff, Mr. Taylor; for defendant, Mr. Warner. illips vs. Oliver Hooker.—In this case the plain- tiff is a master builder, and the defendant is a journeyman carpenter. The action is for balanee of board.

The wife of the plaintiff became ill at the same time and died, the defendant recovering. Ata settlement, the plaintiff charged {n his account for board, 19 weeks at $2 50 apd week, and three weeks’ nursing at $4 per week. This was the disputed item. Several wit- nesses were examined on beth sides os to the value of the sick attendance, some alleging it to be worth $5, others only worth the same asthe usual board.

Return of Queen Victoria—Non-arrival of the India Mail—More favorable accounts of the Markets -Disturbances in Spain, Italy and Turkey. «The regular, fast-sailing and favorite steam ship Great Western, Captain Hoskins, arrived this mer- ning at her berth, at half past 11 o’clock, making a passage, from dock to dock, in little less than 14 days. The news is not of much importance. We make copious extracts from Wilmer and Smith’s European Times. The Acadia took out very encouraging accounts respecting the transactions in Cotton. The market it will be remembered, between the interval of her daparture and that of the previous packet was in a state of extreme buoyancy; but it was a little checked shortly before the Acadia sailed, and at the present moment speculators evince a disposition to draw in, while the demand from the trade is beth uniform and large. The latter buy with confidence, and the state of the trade shows ahealthy feeling of activity, greater than has been exhibited for a long aperiod. Freights to America by the transiemt ships have been low of late, though a slight improvement has been visible dnring the lastfew weeks. All the transient vessels to New Orleans, Boston and New York, have been chartered by good parties, but the good offering have not been numerous. Thepack- et ships to New York have long acutely felt the ef- fects cf the hostile tariff onthe other side, and the absurd fiscal regulations on this side of the water for the virtual exclusion of grain and flour. The corn market has of late exhibited more firm: ness, and an advance of a penny to tenpence per bushel has taken place. Agreatbreadth of wheat has been sown this year, and the harvest hasbeen tolerably good; but as we do not raise enough for the support of our own population, and as an im- port becomes indispensable, the improved feeling of the market may be attribnted to that cause, com- bined with the yield of the new crop not being equal toexpectation. It is very probable, therefore, that a considerable quantity of flour may find its way from Canada, through the act of last session. Dur- ing the last few days an immense quantity of wheat and flour has been released from bond at the duty of fourteen shillings per quarter, which, at the pre- sent price of the market, would render the importa- tion of Canadian flour a profitable speculation. The weather continues very fiue: the finest, indeed, for the season, which has been known for years, and where the harvest has not been already gathered, the weather has materially aided the eperation. O'Connell, it will be seen, continues as active as ever, and we hear no talk of his speedy retirement to his mountain home at Derrynane, where, hither- to, at thisseason of the year, he has been inore ac- customed to she music of his beagles than to the vox popwi. All his energies appear to be absorbed in his present agilation, which leaves him no time for rest or retirement. Whatever difference of opinion may exist about the man and his prospects —and public opinion has a wide margin on the sub- ject—all parties admire the hurculean energies which are brought into action by hands and shoul. ders nearly numbering seventy summers and win- ters—the allotted duration of human life. His speech at Connemara, on the 17th, is one of the most beautiful and eloquent he has delivered for many aday. “Who could have thought the old man had so much bloed in him?” We are becoming (says Wilmer & Smuth,) a nation of free traders in theory. An advocate of “* protection” 1s not to be found amongst farmers or farmers’ laborers. He is a rara avis, except amongst the squirearchy. The triumphs of Cobden and Bright have been brilliant of late. It has been a novelty for them during their excursions in the agricultural districts to meet with an opponent who would enter the lists ; and when he did present himself, he was pounded (oraterically speaking.) into mince-meat. The practical—the hustings part of the question—has yet to come; and when the electors of England have an opportunity of record- ing their “‘ sweet voices” on the subject, from that hour monopoly will go to the wall—will receive its quietus. But as that period is hardly likely te ar- rive before the meeting and separation of the next session of Congress, every friend of free trade in the United States, every advocate for reciprocity, ought to exert himself to secure the triumph of the great principle of international exchange, not less from regard to his own than to his country’s iater- est. The principle on which all monopoly is based —compelling a nation to support a peculiar branch of trade which cannot support itself, by keeping all rivalry out of the field— is the maintenance ot such branch of trade by the robbery of the rest of the community. The new government of Spain has issued its mani- festo to the nation. It is a long document, begin- ning with the late melancholy events at Barcelona; and while professing to treat of the principle of re- presentative government, attacks the central junta with great bitterness. This manifesto, to which the names of the ministry are attached, like a heavy load of canvass, covers a rotten hull, but real stabili- ty is wanting. No tidings yet of the long missing Indian mail. {t 1s now more than a fortnight, nearly three weeks, beyond its time; and in addition to the alarm which prevails on the subject, commerce, by the interrup- tion of the communication, sustains a serious injury. This is felt the more acutely, since our trade with the East ha® been of late increasing to a great ex- tent. *aThe anti-temperance society at Hamburg, ‘found- ed by one Bocker, numbers 2090 members.

Her Maree was received by Sia F. Collier, C. B., the Captain-Super- intendentof the Dockyard at Woolwich, and the other principal officers of the establishment. Great Preparations had been made to hail her Majesty’s return, and the houses facing the road on each side were tastefully decorated with flags, and devices formed of laurel, dahlias, and other beautiful flowers ef the season. The landing-place was covered with rich crimson cloth. Her Majesty, in the most gracious manner, acknowledged. the Te spectiul congratulations of those officers of the ar- senal, garrison, and dockyard, who had the honor of approaching her Majesty.’ The road was kept clear by the horse police, under the direction of Mr. Mallalieu, the superintendent of the R division Her Majesty and Prince Albert rode in an open car- riage, and wes escorted by detachment of hus vars.

Anoturr Apostacy To Rome.—We can state it asa fact, chat the Rev. Daniel Parsons, curate of Harden, Wilts, long known as a tractarian, has se- ceded to the church of Rome. Private reagons will for the present prevent his becoming a priest; but he is to assume, as we are informed, the office of teacher in some Catholic establishment. Fearcus O'Connor.—Feargus O’Cennor has so farleft politics, and is about to turn farmer. He has published a work on the management of small farms, and has for some time past been pointing out to his followers the superiority of location on land, instead of mere political agitation. The Frankfort Journal states that the King‘of Prussia has written an autograph letter inviting Queen Victoria and her consort to extend their visit on the continent to Berlin. Whetherthe invitation has been accepted, or whether it has been really given, is not known. Upwards of 10 000 persons ealuted Father Mathew with joyous acclamations on landing at the Kings- ton Jetty, Jast Saturday, from his mission in Eng- land. He landed by the Prince, mail steamer, from Liverpool, and administered the pledge beiore Hayes’ Hotel, Kingston, on Monday. 4 France. ‘The Moniteur publishes a report, addressed by Vice Admiral de Mackau to the King, giving to his Majesty an account of the situation of the Depart- ment of the Marine, and demanding an extraordi- nary credit, intended to cover unforseen expenses. The Minister exposed that the budget of 1843 only provided for 164 vessels—namely, 140 armed, 22 laid up in ordinary, and 2 in commission, whilst the ef- fective force was still 207, 192 of which are armed, He then observes, that a mature instead of 140. examination had demonstrated to him, that if ani reductions were possible,they should be very limited. “In that respect, I should not,” he says, ‘‘inany case brogoee to your Majesty to reduce the number of armed vessels. I consider their maintenance in actice service, and as much as possible their forma- tion into squadrons, as a condition necessary for Re the country in possession of a real naval force. A long experience of the past, and my own paenee ubservations during my recent residence at ‘oulon, induce me to set a very great importance on preserving entire the armameat collected in the Mediterranean.” He then proceeds to state, that the construction and armament of the 18 Transatlantic steam-pack- ets, which were to be completed in 1842, would ex- ceed the appropriations ef the budget (28,400,000 ) by 2,046,000 franes; that two iron steamers now in progress of construction for the navigation of the Senegal River, and the protection of French inter- ests in that quarter, would cost 240,0091; and he re- capitulated a number of other iterns amounting to- gether to 13,163,000f. which Would be indispensable in order to balance the receipts and expenditure of the Marine Department; but, the Minister adds,that he would be satisfied for the present with a credit of 6,286,000f., which he_ proposes to the King to au- thorise him to open for 1843, during the recess of the Chambers. His Majesty acceded to the de- mand, by an ordinance dated St. Cloud, 16th inst. Among the items enumerated by Admiral de Mac- kau is onc Of 1,700,0001, fur the’ micsivu to Chin which isto consist of two frigates and three co) vettes. = ae Spain. . The Constitutionne! of Barcelona of the 10th inst. states, that in the evening of the 8th there was an alert, occasioned by a report that the garrison of the citadel intended to make a sortie. ‘The drummers immediately beat to arms, and in*an instant, the Militians were all at their posts. ‘The onemy, how- ever, did not venture out of the citadel. | Colonel Martell, accompanied by his Aide-de- Camp Febres, a well know. republican, and an es- cort of mounted National Guards, entered Barce- lona on the 9th, at 1 o’clock P.M. The people, from the gate of San Antonio to the Place of San Jaime, cheered him with loud vivas in favor of the Central Junta. Oa reaching the square, Celonel Martell, who commanded one of the divisions of Ametler’s expeditionary corps, addressed a warm allocutionto the 3d battalion of volunteers, who had taken arms to receive him. A banquet was then offered to him by the Junta at the Hotel of the Four Nations, and enthusiastic toasts in honor of the Central Junta were given. After dinner, Martell appeared at the balcony, which looks on the Rambia, and addressed the people as follows:— “* Barcelonege, union is impossible with the enemies of liberty. They wish to tyrannize over us, and we can enter into no compact with despots. Let honest men unite, and liberty is secure. Viva the Central Junta, the constitutional Queen Isabella II, and the sovereign people!” ‘These few words were received with unanimous applause. cs Martell, who was one of the newly appointed members of the Junta, leit on the same evening with two of his colleagues, to confer with Brigadier Narciso Ametler, who had arrived at Sans with sevenbattalions. The latter it appears had heank received Col. Prim, who had repaired to Martorell to meet him on his peesage through that town. The troops of Ametler consisted of free battalions raised at Barcelona and Girona, and of mobilized militia of the former, so that the insurgents had been con- siderably reinforced by their accession. Ona the 10th, at 6 o’clock in the morning, Ametler arrived at Molins del Rey, and entered Barcelona in the afternoon. f . The Moderados circulated reports through the pro- vince that Barcelona had been delivered up to plun- der and anarchy, This was untrue. Some manu- factories were closed, but others were open, that of M. Raman Nogues, one of the most impor- tant, was at full work. Emissaries of Prim, who is now called Count of Res (“nothing” in the Cata- lan language,) attempted on the night of the 7th to set fire to the manufactories of Moutalan, Valenti, Tous, and Serra, in which steam engines are used. but the presence of some volunteers, commanded by Riera and a member ot the Junta, sufficed to awe the incendiaries. = A battalion of the militia of Mataro and a de- tachment from San Marti had entered Barcelona. On the other hand, the militia of Igualada and other districts, who had responded to the appeal of Prim bow Tepaired to Gracia, had returned to their omes. _ Abdon Terradas, former alcalde of Figueras hav- ing escaped from Toulouse,bad succeeded in making his way into Catalonia. The. Juata of Girona in- tended to appoint him one of its members. ‘The proclamation of the militia of Figueras de- manding the convocation of a central Junta, was drawn up ina republican gpirit, and all the delegates about to be returned to the provincial junta belonged to the democratte party. _ i Intelligence from Madrid to the 12th instant,shows that the government are anticipating an outbreak in the capital. A proclamation had been issued by the litical chiet, enjoining every citizen who shall fave received any arms, ammunition, or military stores of any kind,to give them up to the provisional government within the space of forty-eight hours, taking a receipt for the same. No one is to retain any arms of any description without a license {rom the proper authorities, and those parties whe already have libenses for that purpose, are to get them re- newed within eight days. The political chief, in apprehension of some disturbance on the 16th, the first day of the elections, had published another pro- clamation, calling on the electors not to be led away by party feelings, or the persuasions of ill-dis- posed persons, but togive their votes only alter ma- ture deliberation to those candidates whom they believe will have no other object in view than peace, tranquillity, and future welfare of the La try. by doing this, they will render arin bh worthy ty Uae title of the defenders of the holy cause of liberty.
