A few warm politicians have felt offended at the proceedings at Boston; or, seem rather angry with Mr. Monroe for giving up to them as he did. I am not one of these. I do not like such pomp and pa rade as has been exhibited—but I believe it will do a great deal of good in the present instance; and have much effect to raise up a national feeling, on the ruins of party prejudice.

There was also much ceremony and shew at Salem-but the narrative must be postponed-At ho nest Marblehead the president was received with great respect by the fathers of the town and the people.

By the order of the governor, the major-generals of their several divisions, with their suits, will meet the president at the boundaries of their districts; and accompany him through them.

Difference between Spain and Portugal.

[ocr errors]

Perhaps the court of Madrid might have thought herself entitled to recur at once to the means of defence which Providence has placed in her hands, and to repel force by force. But guided by a spirit of wisdom and moderation, she was desirous first of employing the means of negociation and persuasion, and she preferred, notwithstanding the dis advantage that might result to her possessions beyond the sea, addressing herself to the five undermentioned powers, in order to an amicable adjust ment of her differences with the court of Brazil, and to avoid a rupture, the consequences of which might be equally disastrous to the two countries, and might disturb the repose of both hemispheres.

So noble a resolution could not but meet with the entire approbation of the cabinets to which the court of Spain has addressed herself, and animated with the desire of preventing the fatal consequen ces that might result from the present state of affairs, the courts of Austria, France, Great Britain, Prussia and Russia, equally the friends of Portugal and Spain, after having taken into consideration the just claims of the latter power, have charged the undersigned to make known to the cabinet of his most faithful majesty

PARTS,

Protocol of the conference of the 18th of March. Present the minister of Austria, duke de Richelieu, duke of Wellington, Sir Charles Stuart, the Prus sian minister, the minister of Russia.

The great mills at Birmingham, called the Wa ter street mills, were lately burnt to the ground. Loss estimated at £200,000. Several hundred people are thereby thrown out of employment.

It is perfectly understood that the habeas corpus suspension act will be further extended. The common council of London had met for the purpose of petitioning against it.

Since 1814 it is said that the British army has been reduced 221,794 men!-This, it is presumed, includes the foreign mercenaries.

It is reported that 6 ships of the line and 12 frigates are immediately to be equipped for South America.

The conference having been opened this day with Large quantities of American flour have arrived their excellencies the dukes of Richelieu and Wellington, to take into consideration the demand in England-yet the price kept up; 76 to 77s. or made by Lucien Bonaparte for passports to conduct about $17 per bbl.

2. That in order to deprive him of all possible motives for soliciting the said passports, it would be equally desirable to refuse them to his son Charles, whose journey seems to be only a pretext for the plans of the father.

The present stock of sheep in Great Britain and Ireland is estimated at 42 millions, of which more than 30 millions are of the short wooled species.

As one instance out of many of the enormous increase of the poor rates in England, the "Globe" informs us that those of the parish of Plymstock, in Devonshire, which three years ago did not exceed sixty pounds per annum, now exceed fifteen hundred pounds for the same period.
