is called a full confirmation of the impor

Rumors of a counter revolution in
Spain have been industriously circulated
in the French papers, but are contradic

Lisbon are also spoken of. .
The distress in Ireland increases. In

most voraciously seized upon by some
poor creatures.

" A person who is worthy of belief,

the multiplied conferences which occur
red m that capital, between Prince Met

more especially to the general state of

from Lisbon, which communicate the im

Constitutional system, but which was de

attended it. It appears that the lust 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 26 persons ; some of the advices men
tion, that 28 persons were taken up, who
were said to be implicated in the conspi

Senate of the United States concurred
with the Pitsidcnt and with the House of

Semite gave their sanction to the act
which had passed the House of Repre

All this information was officially re

ad interim, of this department, caused
the news to be immediately published by
proclamation, in which the civil authori

joined, and orders were issued that the ci

nights, and the houses hung.with fringe
on the, succeeding day, live lath. On
that day a solemn Te Deuni was chaunt

already been fired off at the time of the

" Two days brought us to Valparaiso.
From the glowing description which, I
had previously both read and heard, I ex
pected to find it in every respect superior
to Rio, how great then was ruy oisap
pointrnent when first I visited the Chilian
town ; its situation is on a flat sandy beach,
scarce raised above the! level of 'he sea,
and encompassed with mountains; the
houses (but few raiting above one story)
being built of the country brick and roof
ed with tiles of the same, give to the
whole a dark and dreary appearance, to
which the ill dressed, savage looking mor
tals who compose the ' mass of bocicty
contribute their share; diovesof mules
laden with the produce of the surround
ing country raise continual clouds of sand,
and the scorching rays of a nearly vertical
sun render the tqwn truly disagreeable.

like otic barren heap; but nature in a lav

spot which should erve as a retieat from

lightful as the morn, and with a loui.te

a eofiiiueiiceiiient of it. Rut an object so hn-

that no narrow or illiberal views, no selfish mo

in an undertaking to enlarge the bouuJa-'
rici of science, increase the wealth, and add to
the respectability of the state. Rut hould le

doubt, that with a very tricing exertion, a turn
sufficient might be raised within a small rumpus
in this quarter, to defray the expenses of survey
