The presentation took place at the New high sense of his merit in supporting constitutional London tavern, where a dinner was given on the

occasion.

The following is the inscription on one of the pieces, presented by Mr. Fayal in the name of his

fellow citizens;

Mr. Canning told the electors at Liverpool, he had refused office twice in one year, evidently alluding to his objection to act with Jord Castlereagh and his friends. He afterwards tells them that all motives of personal feeling are at an end, and therefore he accepts office. That is, he accepts a place under lord Castlereagh, and becomes a party in a job, to which we are at a loss for an epithet sufficiently expressive of the disgust and pity it has excited among all parties. Mr. Canning's retirement was certainly a bold finesse for attaining a loftier situation in the cabinet, but it appears Mr. Perceval and lord Liverpool did not appreciate his talents so highly; and therefore, perceiving he had outstood his market too long, he is glad at last, like a maid at 30, to surrender on any terms. He drops at once from his aspiring flight, and is now content, with many other courtiers, to perform the operation of climbing, in the attitude] of crawling.

ROBERT WAITHMAN Esq.
Whose exertions in the cause of constitutional reform,
Have been ardent and indefatigable,
Whose eminent talents and an energetic eloquence
In support of freedom and resistance to oppression,
Especially in persevering and successful efforts
Against that odious and degrading impost,
The income tax;
Whose public conduct for more than twenty years,
Unawed by power, uncorrupted by influence,
And unmoved by calumny,

Has exhibited a noble example
Of manly zeal and inflexible patriotism.
As a tribute of esteem and admiration,

It was not from plots but from petitions, that the suspension of that act was intended to guard the crown and the parliament. It reminded him of a couplet which Dryden had put into the mouth of Charles II.

ENGLAND, &c.

Lord Sidmouth's letter, addressed to the lord. lieutenants of the English counties, inserted in our last number, is considered in England as one of the most alarming strides towards despotism that has yet been made. It seems to be thought even worse of than the suspension of the habeas corpus.

The duke of Wellington has arrived in England. One of his aids, col. Harvey, it is said, is to marry a Miss Caton, of Baltimore.

For the week ending April 22, there arrived at Liverpool 49,500 bushels of wheat and 3,869 bbls. of American flour. The price of bread stuffs was still falling-flour 728 per bbl.

British dependencies. The revenue of Malta and its dependencies, for the year 1815, was 114,4261. and the expenditure consisting principally of sala. ries and pensions 60,1191. The revenue of Mauritius and Bourbon, in 1814, was 206,8607. and the chargés 119,9001. The military expences of the same island, for the same year, were 186,9121. The revenue and other receipts of the Island of Ceylon, during the year 1815, amounted to 640,4441. The expenditures for the same year, including the military establishment of the island, was 647,8481. The native troops of the island amounted to 5000 rank and file. The revenue of the Cape of Good Hope, for 1815, was 229,4951. and the expenditure 234,8321. including the pay of a native corps.

"The persons mentioned in your enclosed list (those alluded to above) have been shipped on board the cutter Hero, bound to the United States. They are unfortunate beings, whom the government has expelled from their country on account of their variance in politics, and of their exalted ideas. They must not be viewed as criminals; but as they were considered dangerous, it has become expedient to transport them, directing them to that country where they cannot cause alarm, as its constitution and laws present a formidable barrier.”
