t . -nes] in the matter. Self *as altogether the govern ; 1 , r rinciple, and to that he must express his decided c,biection. He thought, however, the arrangements n ude with the Dutch would prove advantageous, al- 1 t h o ugh, he must admit, not so beneficial as they ought w he to this country. Mr. MONEY said, that in his opinion this was one o f the most important Treaties tit at had been made in furtherance of our trade and navigation in the Eastern Archipelago. Sincapore promised every day to become o f more value. The Treaty laid a foundation fqr remov ing all grounds of dissention between the btiglish and' patch Governments in India. The amendment was then negatived without a division, and the 'louse resolved itwlt into a Committee on the Bill. Mr. HUMS wished to know if this was the proper time to in troduce a clause for compensation to the settlers now transferred to tLe Hutch? The Chairman (Mr. COURTENAY) said, that would be the witless of a separate Committee. slr. Secretary CANNING said, that when a case could be made cot, it would be time enough to provide compensation. After a few words from Mr. Wm and Mr. BRION?, the Bill wa s reported without amendment, and ordered to be read a third time this day. MIPERANNUAT/ON BILL. Mr. F. BUXTON moved the third reading of the Superannuation Bill. If that had been a proper time to x2ll the attention of the House to the ease of occa sional tide-waiters, he would have done so; but he fore- bore, in consideration of the lateness of the hour. The seperannuation fund was established a few years ago. The objection to it was, that it was a system of exclusive tuation. Another objection was, that the Public gave with one hand, and to.,k away with the other. It would be ore reasonable to allow a fixed sum, free from de du don. There was yet another objection in his mind. fiebelieved the salaries of his Majesty's Ministers were by no means extravagant, and therefore he wished the tax of ten per cent. upon them, for this fund, should be abolished. He considered the measure right and just, and he believed it would, therefore, be found economi cal in the proper sense of the word. " Mr. HUME said, that on the principle on which Mr. Pitt acted in 1805, the salaries of the Clerks ought to have been reduced. The Superannuation Fund was establi3hed to relieve the public from the charge of peo- 1 sinus, end it would therefore be a violation of good faith if this Bill were passed. He moved, as an amendment, that the Bill be read a third time that day six months. Mr. BANKES seconded the amendment. 'This mea sure entailed a permanent expense of 20,0001. a year, at least, besides a restitution of two years' payments by the Clerks. These persons were not, like the army and 1127 y, risking their health and lives; and he could see no reason why they should be guarded against all the consequences of accident and misconduct. Early next Session the whole•matter might with advantage be re ferred to a Committee. Mr. CROKEIt denied that no diminution in the Clerks' salaries had taken place, except for the Super annuation Fund. A Committee had sat daily at the Chancellor of the Exchequer's, and gone through every department of public business. In the Admiralty, clerks of 1501. had been reduced 501. a-year. Dr. LUSHINGTON approved of the Bill. The salaries of the high officers of state were not adequate to the duties performed, and the expenses incurred. Mr. S. RICE concurred fully with his Honourable and Learned Friend (Dr. Lushington). Su. C. FORBES said, that the Secretary of the Board of Con trail had no provision whatever made for him under any of these Acts. Mr. Secretary CA NNIN G rose to bear his testimony to the ex pediency of including this office in the provisions for maperannua tion. By a great mistake the Board of Controul was omitted in the Report of 1817, in order that it might be made the subject of a separate Bill.—The amendment was negatived • without a division, and the Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion of the CU/MELLO& of the Eicalmass, the House resolved itself into a Committee, and the usual Sessional Addresses were agreed to, and ordered to se reported this day. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Two. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. FRIDAY, JUNE 18, .1824. THE FUNDS. STOCK EXCHANGE. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

We find by the last accounts from the West India: Islands, that Proclamations bare been issued in the name of the KI:410, for the purpose of counteracting the erroneous impression known to exist among the slaves, that orders had been sent out for their emancipa tion, declaring such impression to be erroneous, and en joining to the slaves submission to the laws and obe dience to their masters. At Barbadoes advices had been received from Deme rara of the 26th of April. These supply one very re markable fact, taken in connexion with the late pro ceedings in Parliament, relative to the case of the un fortunate Mr. Seurtt, the Missionary ; which is, that the Rev. Mr. AUSTIN, a Clergyman of the Established Church, and Mr. ARRINDSLL, the prisoner's Counsel, had had the boldness to circulate letter: in the Colony itself, after the proceedings had closed, expressing their belief of Mr. Smith's entire innocence. The general interest excited here by the case will justify our giving the extracts from the letters alluded to: " Extract from a letter of the Rev. NV. S. AUSTIN: " `.l feel no hesitation in declaring, from the intimate knowledge which my most anxious inquiries Wee obtained, that, in the late leaurge which the hand of an All-wise CREATOS has inflicted on this =natty, nothing bat those religious impressions which, ur der Pannarice, Dlr. Snitch has been instrumental in fining--non thing but those principles oldie Gospel of Peace which be has been proclaiming—could have prevented a dreadful effusion of blood here, and saved the lives of those very persons who ate dOW (I shudder to write it) seeking hi,.' " Extract from a letter of WILLIAM ARRINDELL, Esq. of Demerara, Mr. SMITH'S Counsel, addressed to Mrs &urn, after the proceedings of the Court-martial were closed : " his almost prestimptuous in me to differ from the sentence of a Court; but, before Gan, I do believe Mr. Sum to be inno cent. Nay, I will go further, and defy any Minister, of any sect whatever, to have shewn a more faithful attention to his sacred duties, than he has been proved, by the eridence en kis trial, to have done.' " A meeting was held on the 3d of May of the inhabi tants of Barbadoes, for the purpose of preparing a peti ticia against the Alien Act as in force in that island.— His Majesty's ships EDEN and Scour had returned to Barbadoes from Para, which they left in a state of trap- quillity. It was said that the Scour had been fired at by the fort in passing up the river, but silenced the batteries by a couple of broadsides. We have received the French Papers of Tuesday, but they contain no intelligence of any material interest. The proposal for indemnifying the emigrants, pro posed by Count de la BOURDONNAYE, has been rejected in the Chamber of Deputies. These Papers contain the conclusion of Lord Sranncronn's Not Ito the Govern ment of the Sublime Porte, of which we took notice yes terday. The following passage of that document con tains everything in it which deserves any attention: " After fulfilling the orders of the King, his master, the under signed (Lord &rangford) has the honour to inform the Sublime Porte. that he is authorized by the Emperor of all the Russias, to make known that the tab and immediate evacuation V the Principalities is at present the only and see condition on which his Imperial Majesty binges the re-establishment of his diplomatic re lations with the Ottoman Government; that this condition, at all times the first, is likewise the last; and that as soon as the Sublime Porte shall fulfil on this essential point what Treaties prescribe, the new Minister of his Imperial Majesty will leave Petersburgb to proceed to Constantinople, and will renew the relations of friend ship so long interrupted, and prove to the Divan, by a conduct al ways frank and loyal, the disposition of the Russian Cabinet to bury all its former differences in profound oblivion. This declaration, which is as noble as it is friendly, constitutes a new epoch in the importar.t negotiation which now occupies the attention of Europe. It reduces the question to its simplest elements. The Sublime Porte is now officially informed, that the return of a Russian mis sion depends only on one condition—that of executing its treaties : its other words, the condition of doing that which is just, useful, and indispensable." The Portuguese Prince, Nitouni, has arrived at Paris. The Rolle of Wednesday is filled with extracts from the Madrid Gazette, which consist, as usual, of pretended reports from the emancipated Colonies. According to these fabrications, the Royalists have nearly triumphed in every State of the South American Continent, and the longing after a participation in the blessings now enjoyed by Spain is so great, " that the appearance of some Spanish vessels would suffice to make 700 leagues' of coast rise in favour of the Kum!" By the last Leeward Ids Mail we have letters from St. Thomas's to the 17th of May. One letter, dated the 13th,contains a vague account from Laguayra of an action having taken place in Peru between Bora- VAR and CANTARAC, in which the latter was victo rious, and in consequence gained possession of Lima. No dates are given, nor is any place assigned for this battle. The circuitous route by which the news has travelled, renders it barely possible that the advice: from Peru can have been brought down to a date so recent as has been previously received by way of Ja maica, when it was known that a negotiation had been set on foot between the President and the Royalist Ge nerals. That there should be an engagement at all, at least while the negotiation was proceeding, is a most unlikely event; but the credit of the story is perhaps more completely destroyed than by any reasoning on its improbability, by the silence of all the other letters from St. Thomas's, some of which are dated two days) later than that in which the account of the battle is contained. Some occurrences of an unpleasant nature are stated to have taken place at Maracaibo, where the irregularity in paying the troops had led to a mutiny, the result of which was not known, as no vessel had arrived from thence for more than a month. THE KING. Witinsoit, Jugs l'7.—Soon after twelve o'clock this morning, the KING, accompanied by the whole of his ♦isitors, who were the same as accompanied his MA JESTY on the two former mornings, left the Royal Castle for Ascot Race Course, in four carriages and four, attended by a number of outriders. MADAME SZYMANOWSEA'S CONCERT. We understand that Madame fkrstarrowsua's Concert, which takes place to-morrow, at two o'clock precisely, at the Hanover square Rooms, is under the immediate patronage of her Royal Highness the Duchess of CLAASSICS, and that nearly all the Mem bers of the Royal Family have promised their attendance. Among the Performers who will assist at the Concert are—Madames PASTA, ROMS Dc BEGNIS, dce. Sse... Madame *TXANOWSIA will preside at the piano-forte. The Music consists of selections from Hausa, Mozart, Ltartearraw, Rwaar, &c. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, accompanied by the Princess Auarrio, spent Wednesday evening with the Duchess of Krim at the King's Palace, Kensington. Prince LEOPOLD honoured the assemblage at Willis's Ronan. on Wednesday gvening, with his company. Lord GWEDER, the Deputy Lord Great Chambei lain of England, comes to town tomorrow, to take the Royal commands regarding the protogation of Parliament. The widow of Itizoo is, we regret to say, in a dying state. Her medical attendants consider her ease hopeless. General MURRAY, late Governor of Demerara, has arrived in the Underwood, merchantman. He left that Colony on the,ith of May. Mr. Avis, a King's Messenger, arrived from Madrid this morning, with dispatches from Sir %Luau A'Couar.

GL.4SGOIV, JUNE 15. Saturday an excellent young MIMI. son of Mr. Bogle, of Genesi square, was drowned in th e Clyde,near Daldowie. Another young Gemstleman and be had guise into the river to bathe, when Mr. Bogle swam across, and resting a short time on the opposite bank, complained that he felt somewhat chill, but being nowise alarmed, he proceeded to swim back again. When about half way across, he called out that be was gone; upon which his friend hastened to the spot, but all his exertions were unavAling, and had nearly proved fatal to himself. The body was not found until an in terval of two hours. Mr. Bogle was in his eighteenth year. Ai: death will put a number of most respectable families in this city in mourning. About one o'clock on Sunday morning, one extremity of the three-story steam corn mill in Bill-street was discovered to he on fire, and before the engines arrived, the roof bad fallen in to the eatent of sixty feet, and it subsequently burned to the ground ; the exertions of the firemen bring principally directed to save the main body of the building, where a very large quantity of grain was stored. The engine -house was burned down. and the whole ma chinery destroyed, with 500 bolls of grain. The whole are insured. NAI' AL I 'l' ONCE.

The enterprize of ITURBIDE was at that time talked of as an event expected, and the probabilities of a successful issue were often the subject of discussion. NICHELENA I who has been appointed on the mission to England, had not left the capital. Accounts have been received from Buenos Ayres, via the United States, that the Indians had made an attack on the Governor of Santa Fe, and had defeated and nearly destroyed the whale of his army. They were becoming daily more troublesome in the neighbourhood of Buenos Ayres, and persons owning estates thirty to fifty leagues from the city felt extremely apprehensive that they would be attacked. Some were reported to he destroyed. General Lama entered Monte Video on the 2d of March, and hoisted the flag of the Emperor of Basin.. The Portuguese troops embarked the latter pan of February for Lisbon.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Last night, R Mr. Knee made his first appearance on the London boards, in the cha racter of Richard the Third. The attempt was rather unfortunate. Mr. Knot's face is better adapted to Comedy than Tragedy. His conception of the character appeared to be at variance with that which the great majority of the audience entertained. There was but little applause, no disapprobation, but much merriment. At the High Court of Justiciary in Glasgow, on Monday, William Devon, or Divan, or Divine, was tried for the murder of his wife, Mary Jamieson. The prisoner's two sons, one eight, and the other IS years of age, were among the witnesses, but the facts were esta bl6hed without their evidence, and he was convicted, And sentenced to be executed at Glasgow on the 21st of July next.

Saturday, at seven eclocit in the morning, a considerable propor tion of the pupils of the Scottish Military Academy matched flout Waterloo-place, Edinburgh, for exercise on Portobello Santis. They commenced ball practice at the distance of 70 yards, and in creased it to 120 yards ; and the result was, that considerably more than half the number of shots fired took effect, many of them nearly in the centre of the target. Three prizes were awarded by the Su. ' perintendent to the following young Gentlemen, viz.—The first to Mr. J. Doucurs, son of WILLUIt DOUGLAS, F.A. Writer to the Sig net, Drummond-place ; the second to Mr. lioirr.ftlectot, 79tb iteri ment ; and the third to Mr. W. M. Dounziso, Long-Kisco, Cum berland. The pupils then went through a number of evolations with spirit and accuracy, and afterwards marched back to the Aca demy, in the same orderly style in which they had left it. I°F ~~ M. DE CHATEAVERLIND. [FROM A CORRESPONDENT•] Few men ever came into office with stronger impres sions against them than M. de Chateaubria►;d, and few ever left it with so large a portion of those prejudices removed. The author of La Monarchie scion la Charte had indeed evinced a tendency towards absolute power; and the friends of constitutional liberty had some grounds to fear an extensive developement of those priu. ciples when he became Minister of Foieign Affairs. In this they were agreeably disappointed. It is use less to discuss the policy of the Spanish war, or whe ther a Representative Government, which like a too fa mous English Parliament, centered all power in one branch of the State, and which at the same time levelled ity " the giants of the forest and crushed the tender shrub," was one calculated to yield happiness to Spain or tran quillity to her neighbours. M. de Chateaubriand de fended the principle of the war on the imperious ground of domestic policy, as well as on the interests of monar chy, and the evert justified his prediction. The Spanish war quelled at once all the conspiracies which were fomented without ceasing on every point of France, and this alone justified the policy of the Minister: if the re sult has been less favourable to liberty than could be wished, the fault is not to be attributed to M. Chateau briand. In the instructions given to the Duke d'Angou leme, which M. de Chateaubriand had a principal hand in draw ing up, the necessity was insisted on of adopt ing a line of policy which should rally all parties round the same standard, and make it the interest of all to unite in the bonds of peace and fellowship, and thus heal the wounds of desolated Spain. The Duke was faithful to his mandate, and his conduct gained him the applause of friends and enemies. Unfortunately, the besotted Ferdinand, led away by Saez and other evil counsellors, defeated all the plans of the French Go vernment for the pacification of Spain. In a dark mind, where the light of virtue never penetrated, all the hate ful passions reign despotic, and the gratitude of Ferdi nand extended no farther than the fleeting sentiment in spired by his deliverance, and he quarrelled with the Duke d'Angouleme for not seconding his schemes of vengeance. From that period, the dispatches of M. de Chateau briand to M. de Talaru have uniformly been to in sist on moderate measures ; and to threaten the King, that if measures were not taken calculated to pacify Spain, that the French army would be withdrawn. It is owing to the unceasing efforts of M. de Chateaubriand that an amnesty has been proclaimed—he sketched it on a broad basis, but the 'Ultras and Priests frittered it away so as to become almost illusory. Ferdinand demanded assistance of France to recon quer the Spanish American Colonies, but, however much France might desire to see them brought back to the yoke of the mother country, M. de Chateubriand offi cially declared, that France would do nothing without previously consulting the English Cabinet. Ferdinand, who is as blind as he is wicked, was indignant at this, but M. de Chateaubriand was firm in the assertion that whatever might be the private feelings of the Cabinet, the conduct of France would be regulated by that of England, a declaration which he has constantly reiterated in all his communications with the British Ambassador. Room does not permit to extend this article farther; suffice it to say, that on every occasion M. de Chateau briand has acted the part of an honest Minister and an upright man. He leaves the Ministry as poor as he went into it, and carries into retirement the consoling sentiment, that if he has not done all the good he wished, he has done all he was able to effect. T. The Emperor and Empress of RUSSIA removed to their summer residence on the 25th May. Sir CHARLES I3Acur. the English Ambassador, was on the point of embarking for England on board the Timis frigate. The Norwegian Storthing, in its Sitting of the 22i of May, unanimously rejected in succession, all the Royal 'propositions, 1S in number, of alterations in the Con stitution. It farther resolved unanimously to present an Address to his blijesty, stating the grounds of rejection. So rapid is intellectual improvement in Buenas Ayres I that three liberal and spirited Newspapers, called the Argos, the Republican, and the Theatre of Opinion, have been commenced. In Covent-Garden market, yesterday, hot-house straw berries were Ss. per punnet, ditto cherries 'b. per pottle, cauliflowers from 4d. to 10d. each, new potatoes 9d. to 2s. per lb. asparagus 2s. to 4s. per hundred. Dust..—A meeting took place on Wednesday, at Smallberry-Green, between Mr. H-51 and Captain G—a. The dispute originated respecting a race at Ascot Heath, on Tuesday, when Mr. JAMBS RASISSOT TOM, as second for the 10gs Sweepstakes, claimed Pictoa, the winner,for SOO sovereigns, his horse Cephalsts being second, but he did not claim .the horse within a quarter of an hour, agreeable to the regulations. The dispute was on a wager, whether the horse was claimed in time. Mr. H—N was wounded slightly in the shoulder, and the affair terminated. At a Squirrel Hunt In Craftsbury and the neighbouring towns (in Vermont), in which the parties were engaged for several days preceding the 20th of April, there were killed, 4,370 squirrels, 1,135 woodpeckers, 124 blue jays, 99 pigeons, 53 blackbirds, )6 woodchucks, 15 crows, 10 owls, 10 skunks, 2 minks, 1 vitaale, and 1 hawk, making a total of 5,239.
