at a cheaper rate than she did herself But the congress which now sits to decide on the fate of Spain, and judge its institutions, will not sit at Washington. The Abbe La Mennais, Achilla de Jouffroy, vfould not even be listened to in the cabinets or churches of a plain people, of sober good sense. It is a maxim sacred to our government and people," says the president, that every independent nation has the riht of improving its own institutions, and that no one has a right to interfere in this subject." The letters lrom St. James," a work of M ( hateau vieux, have never touched with more sagacity on the principles of these convulsions which agitate Europe ; attributing them to the false position in which the aristocracy is placed. The president says, on this subject, " it is evident that, if any convulsions takesplacc in that put of the world, it must proceed from causes not among us, as we have but one order here

the order of thc people." Thus, in the opinion of a disinterested judge, if Europe is again involved in war, she will owe it to aristocracy. Those words of thc president refer to us the fun damental difference between our situation and that of America.

The news of this terrible catastrophe did not reach the Resident till thc 10th in the evening ; he immediately repaired to the scene of desolation, in thc neighborhood of which he soon arrivid, but on account of the heat of the ava on the one side, and the ovc! flowing of thc rivers on the other, which had been choaktd up by the eruption, he was b tilled in all his efforts, as late as the 14th. to reach the chief scene of misfortune Hospitnls were immediately established in lour piacts!o receive thc great numb r of wounded w no have escaped death. Every exertion is made to quiet thc people of thc neighboring districts, who hve fled from their ha

On the '5th, the Resident, not without

much difficulty, got as far a assik Molaijj, and visittd that day India'dang, Tyboccei and Lebiwongong where the dt s olation is complete, and surp.ises all de

Dreadful Frufition of a Volcano in the Island of Java On the 8th of October lawt year, about two o'clock in thc afternoon part of the regency of Sumadang was visited by a most terrible natural phenomenon. On that day, the mountain of Galoeng Goeng, on the bordu-s of Sumadang and Limbaugan, which was known to be a Volcano, suddenly emitted a most devastating torrent of lava, which destroyed no fewer than 88 kampongs, and in which 2000 persons perished. It has not been possible to obtain complete accurate information respecting the afflicting event ; the following particulars however may be mentioned. An explosion resembling the report of a piece of hea vy artillery was suddenly heard, and a

ecloud of black smoke was seen to tisc

from the foot of the mountain ; accompanied by such a violent wind that houses & trees were thrown down by it. On this, complete darkness ensued, and then for the space of three hours a shower of burning ashes and a torrent of lava which covered the country all around, to the extent of 20 pal, carrying away, burying, t

After 3 yenrsof public calamity, brought on our coun ry by the rebellion of some guilty sons, iho day of peace at length rises for you, and with it, the happy influence of order and justice. Europe, affected by your mislortunes, and fatigued by the cries ol sedition calls with all its prayers for the termination of your calamities ; and a generous descendant of St Louis is crossing your frontiers at the head of a faithful Sc glorious army, to assist your efforts, and accomplish your wishes Spaniards ! They are no longer those hostile standards whi h formerly threatened your liberty ; it is the banner of peace, borne by valiant warriors. This banner destined to heal the wounds which anarchy has made, to cover with its protecting shield those brave men who are about to restore the throne and the altar, and to deliver our unhappy king and his august family from the captivity in which they are hold by a handful of rebellious subjects. This eminent service w hich our allies are rendering us. acquires a new lustre from the disinterestedness and generosity which govern it ; your government attests, on its honor and truth, that no sentiment of ambition or interest mixes with this noble resolution ; the common danger arising from the mischiefs with which the revolution threatens Europe, has given to political virtue its ancient lustre, 8c chivalrous character; it is consoling to humanity to sec the resolution of cabinets? and the councils of kings, offer sub-
