When I see the Town Creek
Reviewer corne out so plainly, and
with so much (sense they call it,)
but which every liberal man would
call non-sense, against poor Tim,
I am surprised, and so is every
one who rightly judges of things
as they should be. Should, Gen
tlemen Town Creek Itecicwcrs,
the poetry of poor Tim discom
pose your poetical brains, why not
appeal to him in person, and not
vent your rage and angry feelings
in so public a manner a method
which has drawn down on you a
merited, and I may say with truth,
a deserved reproach a stigma
which has cast upon you its bane
ful poison, instead of the unassu
ming, unpretending, inoffensive
person you wish to put to shame
by your nonsensical, brainless,
and by what other name of con
tempt shall I call it -envy and
malice you have incurred the
just and merited detestation of
every person.

me put a simple interrogatory to

From England. By an arri
val at New-York, news from Eng
land one day later has been recei
ved. The latest London date is
the lGth of April, up to which time
nothing was certainly known of
any appointments to form the
new Cabinet under the auspices
of Mr. Canning; while some addi
tional resignations had taken
place. It is apparent that the
King felt himself personally ag
grieved by the conduct of those
who were so hasty in deserting
him; and therefore it is not pro
bable that any of the late Minis
ters will be permitted to resume
their places with his free consent,
even should they themselves offer
to return. But, the question is,
will the Sovereign, though the
most cordially disposed towards
the Premier, be able to sustain
him for any length of time again vt

February, terminated in the total
overthrow of the Emperor's army
1200 Brazilians were left dead
upon the field of battle, a great
portion of the oflicers made pri

Notwithstanding this signal tri
umph, the Buenos Ayreans re
newed their oiler to the Emperor,
of making peace upon the terms
formerly rejected, and despatches
to this effect were forwarded by
