" The packet saya that the matters in con troversy with Brazil were in train for ami cable adjustment. The Monlevideans who look refuge in the Brazilian territory, had been disarmed, and ex-President Rivers had been conducted, under escort, from the town of Pelota. in the province of Rio Grande.

BETH. - 1 he following eloquent paragraph is ex tracted fiom Lord Brougham's 'Lives of Men of Letters': It is undeniable lhat Elizabeth did not cause M.ar to be executed un'il she Iwd repeatedly endeavor, d to make Sir Amyns Paulett and Sir Drue Drnry, who had the custody of her person, take her otTby as supination. When those two gallant 'cava liers rojccteu the infamous proposition with indignation and with scorn, she attacked ihem as J iin'y' and 'men promising much and pcrforiiiing nitliinif;' nay, she was with difficulty dissuaded from displacing them, and emp'oying one Wingfield in iheir stead, 'who had oolh courage and in clination to strike the blow.' Then finding she could not commit murder, she signed tbe warrant for Mary's execution; and im mediately perpetrated a crime only less foal - than murder, treacherously ' denying her handwriting, and destroying by heavy fine and long imprisonment the Secretary of Slate whom she hud herself employed to use the fatal warrant. History, fertile in its records of royal crimes, offers to our ex ecration few snch characters as that of this great, successful and popular princess. An assassin in her heart, nay, in her councils an I her orders; an oppressor of the most unrelenting ciuelty in her whole conduct; a hypocritical dissembler,' to whom false hood was habitual, honest frankness strange, such is the light in which she . ought to be ever held up, as long as humanity and truth shall bear any value in the eyes of men. XICH. The Nashville Union reprobates the pub lication of Geo.

Seme- years- ago a Spaniard was arrest ed in Havana cuargod with the horrible ctirae of assasinati m. He was known to be a depraved and desperate individual, who had been engaged in piracy, and waa inspected of other Tieinous crimes. The evidence against him waa conclusive no voice was heard in hia favor no miti gating circumstances were adduced. He waa condemned lo the punishment' of the garotte and the execution took blace at ihe alotted time, without tbe walls of the city, at the place appointed for the capital punishment of malefactors. . . . me instrument 01 execution, an iron collar, which, by turning a screw, produ ced instant strangulation was applied smid the execrations of the throng which had gatherrd around for the horrible purpose, of witnessing his last dying struggles; and ere that crowd had dis. persed a woman, young and lovely, but with dishevled hair and disordered dress, while, grief had impressed a livid signet on her cheeks, forced h?r way through the throng and rushed franticly towards the lerriblejapparatus of death. "Who are you aud what have you in common with that pirate and assasiii?" demanded one of the ale rn satellites of the 1 law. MOh!" cried the woman, in a tone of agony, which thrilled every bosom "Ae ttnu my hutbunJ. and he loved me." This reckless, bad man by aome mUteri oua influence had thrown a chain around the heart of this young and beautifulWoman. and united it to his in benda which could not be broken even by death. All his errors, all his crimes and iney were many and dreadful weie not seen or if aeen, and known, they were forgiven or disregarded. It w.as enough for ber that he waa her husband and he loved her. This in her estimation, would atone for all his iransgre. siqnsvSbe looked for no mores he asked for no more.

FATHER MATTHEW. A letter from Naples, notices that Father Matthew bad but u remonstrated with by hia Buhop, for bis seal in tlie can-e of Temperance, and the excitement which he had produced, "Don't yon know'," eaid the Bishop, "that the publicans flnn.keep ersj do more to sustaiu our religion than any body else'" "Yes," replied Father Matthew, 'and Lwto thai yvur brothtt is tht grtaiui dUlillcr i $kt country; and 1 know, too, that it ia more important lo secure the health, and happiness, and peace of our people, than jt ia to build up the Ronttn Catholic religion." ..... , THE UNIONTHE DEFUNCT 8UB- i TREASUBT, 7 Tha Organist of ibe Union, who axpeela to gire lone to any measure that he may be f required to touch upon, haa broken ground on the thrice defunct Sub- Treasury. z He haa consulted bis e wo inclination, we ; have doubt, in letting this matter rest thus lunj.; but the ( rumbling of the Simon Pure in the loeofco rauks, and the man dalea of tie power that be, have forced the Editor of the Union to make aoine move in regard to Ihe sub-1 reaaurv measure. even if it were but to throw auother -tub to the whale, ns has been tlie case in re- gard to the I r.U queauon. The Union, in alludine to t resolution passed at the Balumme Conveniio,,, on the AiiniRn ill cuu nruiir v. "Among the resolutions adopted bv the 1, . Baltimore Conventio-i,' c aa one in favor oflhe imlependent treasury. .,-1 ... lotions have ever been regarded by lhe President aa indicating the policy by which hia administration should be governed. The independent treasury was sustained by the vpte of the President and of the Secreiaiy ol the Treasury, and further experience has only confirmed the views then taken by both. Tlie specie policy will be sustained in all its vigor; the coinage will be increa sed; the foreign gold coin, which does not circulate, will be converted aa rapidly as possible into the half and quarter eagle, and all oilier proper meana will be used, in eluding the recommendation of the indepen dent treasury,) to secure to the people an abundant supply of the constitutional cur rency. Now, while, this haa a little the appear ance of prepare itotr-tO ad voear rhit meas ure, yei n isa somewnat com mirouueiion of ao important a question to the Democra cy; and it look rather like giving the views oflhe Baltimore Convention, than those of ihe Editor himself. We think it nrobable tha Orean would rather let the Sub-Treasury cup pass but it is obliged lo take sides and we doubt not" it wilt puzzle its ingenuity amazingly. to produce any thing half as strong in favor of the scheme, as were the arguments of the Editor against it in 18J7. At that pe riod, ii we remember correctly, the bnqui rer, ed.ied by the present conductor of the Union, said of the Sub-Treasury scheme, relerring to the complete control which it gave the President over the money oflhe Government, and over the officers who we.e to handle it "We have no deaire to see such an ac cumulation of power in the hands of the Executive ne wteh te pet the money dr reclly into the palms of his friends and parUzana. We wutrio ace tbe power and patronage of tbe Execative increased a lit tle as possible the powers of the Federal Government not enlargedthe purse and sword not more strongly united, than they aie in the hanif of the President and as few means of corruption a possible trusted in hi possession." J Thia waa eaid in September, 1837, and forcibly said and we do not aee how the reverse of it can be maintained now. A week afterwards, the same .Editor designa led the Sub-Treasury as- "A tld and dangeroua scheme," estab lishingtwo sorts of curreucy the better for the officers of the Government; the ba ser one for the people." Oct. SO, 1837, he said: "The Sub Treasury will enlaige the Executive power already too great for a Republic" Jan. SO, 1838 still in the opposition, and leading off with him aome oflhe most prominent men of the country, the same Editor depicted the change made in the bill from the extra session to the regular session in December, and the rapid growth of Ex ecutive patronage which would follow the adoption of the measure, and added: , "It has already expanded from Collectors to Receivers and who ahall aav dial it will not expand from four Receivers, lo twenty or fifty! In fact, who shall stop the augmentation of tax Receivers, under the Administration of some futurs ambitious Piesidentf T!iis bill in oi eases the Execu tive patronage, by the appointment of Re ceivers General, Bank Missionaries, and places the funds more immediately under the eonliol of officers appointed by and re moveable by tlie President" We think il probable thia very increase of Executive paironage-ihis very multiplica tion of officers, aie the chief recommenda tions of the measure at present fur the apoita men are ctamoroue for placea, and these mast be created for them, if they do not already exist. The disinterested patri ots who "stumped" il throughout the can vans, and stretched their consciences with out scruple, must be provided for. The "Independent" Treasury will afford some "twenty Jo fifty of these .at bertha; and that ia reason enough for a thorough -going partizaa But we ahould like to aee the Editor of the Union gravely answer, by argument iitH by declamation, or mere denunciation of hia opponents, but by solid and uubstaniiai argument, the positions quoted above. The measure brought diaasur upon Mr. Van Burea and hit party. The grounds of opposition suggested by the Lmquirer in 1537, were adopted by a large majority of the people in 1840; and the overthrow of ne supporters oi that strong scheme fur controlling the money of the country, was complete and overwhelming. Nothing b'H a hard necessity, could induce' the Editor to "eat bis own word to discard hit owa we Itnatored and powerfully expressed opinions in opposition and give in to the "aburd device" again presented for the consideration of the people. r Il may be, that tins, loo ia but "a tub lo the whale." .
