The soil is extremely fertile, and such is the variety of climate, that fro. quendy within a short distance are seen fields of wheat vrr other grain, and luxuriant plantations of cane, cocoa, coffee, or indigo. In Colombia, the feeling in favourof Great Britain is very strong, originating to part from the knowledge that the only succours received during the eventful struggle came exclusively from this country, and in part in an increasing insight into the true interests of the Republic, and the value of the friendship and protection of Great Britain. Indeed, it would almost appear, that in Colombia two nations only were supposed to exist in Europe, for every foreigner not a Spaniard is called an Ingles. British manufactures are preferred to all others, both u being best calculated for the market, and being what the inhabitants have become most accustomed to.z The extensive expirrtations already made to Colombia is the actual state of comparative poverty and insecurity, will give some idea of what they will be when repose add the capital now flowing in will have , brought the un bounded resources of the country into action.

Von Schladen has accepted the post of Ambas sador to London, which Count Goka has declined, on account of his bad health. It is confidently asserted, that the conferences at St. Petersburgb, respecting the affairs of Greece, ban not led to any satisfactory result. The well meant pro posal of the Emperor Alexander, the chief abject of which was to place Greece under the guarantee of the European Powers, upon the same footing as Wallachia and Moldavia, was opposed by England, which re quired for Greece the independence of the lonian Islands. On the whole it was at length generally agreed, that however well meant any intervention might be, it was not likely to be listened to, either by the Porte or by the Greeks. _ _ The Grand Duchess Alexandra, consort of the Grand Duke Nicholas, is expected at Potsdam. ST. PETERSBURGH, JULY 7. The seven Sultans, or Khans of the Kirghis, who have been here as Deputies since the month of November, set out yesterday on their return home, accompanied by the Officers appointed to attend them by the Gover nor-General of West Siberia. During their stay here they resided in a house belonging to the Government, and`were maintained at its expense. On the Ist of this month they had an audience of Count Nesselrode, Minister for Foreign Affairs, when they received their new code of laws, drawn up in the Russian and Hirghis languages, which lays down the basis of their future relations to the Russian Empire, as a Normade tribe, uibutitry to it, and tinder its protection.

HAGUE, JULY 94. The sudden death of Mr. Kemper, Professor of Juris prudence at Leyden, and member of the Second Cham ber of the States-General, is a public loss that will not easily be repaired. Though highly distinguished in his literary career, he was no less remarkable in political life. He accompanied the Prince of Orange on his en , trance into Amsterdam, in 1818, and it was by his advice that his Highness took the:name of Prince Sovereign, in preference to that of Stadtholder, which Mr. Kemper justly thought would recal ancient dissensions and an• tiqtaated pretensions, wholly incompatible with the actual state of civil society in Europe. Sovereign power, restricted by a good Constitution, wogidebe thought, be the only means of preventing great evils, and ensuring the prosperity of the country. He was:Without divine, one of the most distinguished speakers in the Second Chamber, and his extempore discourses, in particular, were remarkable for their eloquence and clear reasoning. Though in general an advocate for the measures of the Government, he was too independent to defend every measure that was pro. posed. Thus he was one of the most zealous adversaries of the first project of law relative to foreign loans ; and his powerful arguments doubtless contributed, in a great degree, to its rejection. In the Journal des Debats of Saturday, there is a sensible and temperate article on the present state of the Peninsula ; and it is now perceived that something more than French bayonets are necessary to secure the tranquillity of Spain. "If the Spanish Administration,' says the writer, "could consolidate itself by a prudent choice, maintained with firmness, it is impossible that the national prosperity should be established without a national representation, such as FiRDINAND promised by his Proclamation of May, 1814. • Public credit is attached to the guarantee which a permanent body, a free discussion, and public responsibility give. No Loans on tolerable conditions without this guarantee ; and, without Loans, how can Spain re-establish her finances ?" The Ginsiihaionsiel has a sneering article at M. de CUATZAD. asleep, because he did not make a speech in the Chamber of Peas, which it was expected be would deliver on Friday last. Of the twenty-six French refugees who served in the Spanish i Constitutional armies. and who were lately acquitted at Toulouse, seven have been detained on charges of previous desertion, or of having been implicated is other offences. In the Chamber of De pities. on Friday. a report was made on the Petition of " a Parisian Merchant," praying that the Journals should be required to give an account of aU the Petitions reported, and the decisions of the -Chamber on them. The Committee were, however, of opinion, that the journalists ought to be at lib►rty to contract or extend, as might be convenient, their accounts of the proceedings of the Cham ber, and proposed the Order of the Day on the Petition, which was adopted. In the course of the debates on the Budget, in the French Chain bet of Deputies, M. C. PIVIZIEII inquired whether Ministers had secured the moans of repayment of the 34,000,000 f advanced to Ferdinand VII.? M. de Inuits replied that France would never have made such advances to Spain if she had not been sure of re payment. 3L Macatte asked what security they could have, when the revenue of Spain had sunk from 1150,000,000 of real, to 146,000,0001 To this question no reply was made. We have received Demerara Papers to the 13th of June, at which time the Colony was so tranquil that the Governor permitted the slaves to keep the Whitsun tide holidays as usual.

The'Earl of EGREMONT met with a very unpleasant accident on Thursday, at Petworth. His Lordship, in descending from his carriage, slipped from the steps of it, fell backwards, and received some severe contusions.

Mr. ROTHSCHILD bad an interview on Saturday with M. DE ZICA BZIISIUDICS, the Spanish Ambassador, which lasted three hours. His Excellency leaves town almost immediately for Madrid, to assume the post of Prime Minister, to which he has been appointed. Friday, his Grace the Archbishop of Dublin, attended by his Vicar-General, Register, Chaplain; &c. after the performance of divine service in St. Patrick's Cathedral, ' held an adjourned visitation, in pursuance of a Man dalay: from the Court of King's Bench, to inquire into the complaint of Mr. Smyth, one of the stipendiaries of Christ Church, against the Lord Bishop of Kildare, Dean of that Cathedral. It will be recollected that Mr. Smyth had agreed with the Dean of St. Patrick's to perform some sacred music in the latter Church for the benefit of the starving poor of that Liberty, for which another Dean of St. Patrick's had long since done so much ; the Dears of Christ Church warned the mu sician, that if he persisted in having his " concert" at St. Patrick's, be should lose his office. No remonstrance could mollify the Bishop-Dean of Christ Church; for no effort of reason, rhetoric, or learning, could en lighten bins as to the difference between an oratorio and a concert. The charitable music meeting, however, took place, and sure enough the Bishop was as good as his word, by giving Mr. Smyth his dismissal. Mr. S. complained, and affirmed that his dismissal was a wrong ful one, for that he held his place (on the same condi tion as the Judges) for life, or during behaviour. He therefore summoned the Dean a n d i f :;P i ter of Christ Church before the Archbishop of Dublin, to answer for their conduct. His Grace summoned the reverend body before him a first time, but in vain—they appeared not. The Archbishop adjourned his visitation to another day, and cited them more emphatically than before, but, like true Irishmen, the more he cited " the more they would not come." Upon which his Grace an nounced the portentous fact—that the recusant Bishop and his fellows es have moped from the face of the world, and are nowhere to be found;" and in order to afford Mr. Smyth time to prove by legal evidence the term of his appointment, the visitation was adjourned to - Thursday.

The house was well attended ; and at the conch]. %ion of the Comedy, Mr. Emarrox, after a fugue by the Orchestra, appeared, and addressed the audience a s follows, amidst loud cheering : " Lames Ann Gatimanann—Although I endeavoured aa d en i al* or my Benefit to express such sentiments as might be agreeable as well to this Theatre as to the Public at large, I thought it gems. easily incumbent on me not to let slip this opportunity of express.

This effusion was Interrupted by repeated cheers, and finally cm duded amidst loud applause. HAYMARKET. The Entertainments commenced with Twelve Pre cisely, to afford an opportunity for the display of Mi s. CHATTINLEY'S versatility of talent. The new Comedy of Married and Single followed, which was not at tended with aoy remarkable circumstance, as the ap probation and good humour of the audience, are, in this piece, a matter of course. The whole concluded with Sweethearts and Wires, which, though ever so often re peated, can never become tedious so long_ as it has Mr. LISTON, Miss CHESTSR and Madame zsrats, for its leading characters. T here V was a very full house. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. Curiosity to hear Wasan's delightful music, and vs witness the extraordinary effects of the scenery, &c. in Der Freisekutz, drew together last night an audience which filled the Theatre in every part.

Wednesday last, a Meeting of the Inhabitants of Edinburgh was held, to take into consideration the pro. priety of erecting_ a Monument, in Scotland, to the memory of Mr. WATT. Mr. COCKBURN, with whom the idea originated, after complimenting the efforts made in London to raise a Monument in Westminster Abbey or St. Paul's to the memory of Hr. Warr, said, there were two reasons why they should resolve to erect one to his memory in his own country. "In the first place," said Mr. Cockburn, •' because this is his country; I think, as it is our duty to encourage similar extraoidi nary exertions, it is a fortiori correct that we should endeavour to exhibit to Scotch men, throughout all ages, what are the ultimate rewards of genius and industry. I do not like the idea that strangeN, after admiring th! works of WATT, should say that they have traversed his native land, and found no monument to his me. mory. In the next place—and I confess to you that I am not sure but that this reason, more than the other, has exerted an influence on my mind—l look not exclusively to the monument of Mr. WATT, which is to be placed in a situation that is not ac cessible to the great body of the people. We have no right to discuss, and it is the farthest from my intention to impeach, the system, according to which the monuments are superintended at Westminster Ab bey and St. Paul's; but we all know that they are only to be approached upon payment of a sum, which, how ever trifling, practically amounts to the total exclusion of the lower orders from beholding them. And, to my mind, there is something in the payment of a base, paltry fee, that is quite inconsistent with those ennobling feelings with which men ought to muse over the illus trious dust which reposes in that great depositary of the genius, science, and virtue, of the nation. I am, there fore, clear that we should have an open daylight monu ment to the memory of Mr. Watt, which can be ex plored by all—that their hearts may be stirred, and their ambition excited, by the contemplation of such a tribute. The man whose mind I wish most to awaken is that of the operative mechanic, who should be able to view this structure as he is walking along the streets, in the dress and with the implements of his calling.— It is impossible that this object can be attained by any other means, as I think , than by the erection of an archi tectural edifice. Besides, such an edifice would be erected at even less expense than if we had recourse to the finer art of statuary, which could not be rendered so useful. Another consideration which is connected with an architectural edifice is, that while it will tend to perpetuate the memory of this individual, it will con tribute to adorn the metropolis of Scotland—to add to the splendour of that city which it has long been, and I trust will ever continue to be, our pride and our am bition to make the most magnificent and the most beautiful of the empire. I have alluded to one use to which such a budding can be applied, and shall venture t. specify other uses to which It may be converted, and which, I am sum if the departed spirits could hold any communion with the trinsacdons of their friends on earth, would, of all others / meet the liberal and enlightened dad of Warrn—(Apphms).-- Since that man's death, the Osman= has appeared of phils• sophy struggling to rescue ea mad mie population from that dr Scadatkill which was the tf exclusively educating theta in s the. mechanical arts and s at knowledge has been bestowed upon rite dower orders of about every manufacturing town is the Kingolpin by the Schools of Arts. These, and similar Instituting!, tinder - the auspices of person et all parties, said .1 every sect.•- but all concurring in t h e wish to devote the lower orders—had sprung up in every quarter of the hod; but this is not the place for me to dilate upon the merits of =eh Institutions. The manner in which that Inadtution is conducted in this city, was, I belic'e the example and the model of all the rest ; and I ant sure, that if you combine with an architectural edifice calculated to orsamer 4 the dty, the idea of making it a house of instruction to the bra classes of the population, there could be no application of the money that would hand down to posterity the name of Watt in a more interesting manner, or in a manner more consistent with * principles and character of that liberal and enlightened man." Resolutions in the spirit of - Mr. Cockburn's speech were magi' mously agreed to, and a liberal subscription commenced. The Dachess of ANGOULIME arrived at Rouen 0 11 Tintraday evening, and is said to byre had a warm reception. Stephen Strong, the prizefighter, better known . b 7 the name of Cabbage, was drowned at St. Marsh, On Thursday last. - 4 _,. 1 1
