" Toile most liberal, most generous, and most philanthropic Ns sosi of Europe,Grest Britain, and her illustrious Minister, Canning." For the appointment of British Consuls in America, particularly fur that of Mr. MacGregor, from the zeal which be has manifest k ed in the fulfilment et the public duties assigned to him by his nation." The Consul; immediately replied, by saying that he requested to return his best thanks in the name of the British Government, and for himself, for the honour which had been done them, and that he felt sincerely gratified at having this public opportunity afforded him of expressing the obligations he felt to General Cat reno, not only for the splendid reception given to him on his arrival in the Isthmus, and En the kindness and atten tion he Ind utunierruptedly received from that hour to the present moment, but also for the prompt and uni form attention which the General had paid in every instance, in which it had been found necessary to refer to him in cases in which British interests were involved. For this support in the discharge of his public duty, he begged to express his warmest acknowledgments, and would therefore drink the health of General Carreno, to whom his country was deeply indebted for bis services, not only as a we/line, but also as a citizen.

The Cabinet met again, by adjournment, this .day, at one o'cl‘)ck. All the Members of the former • Meeting were present. To them Lord Lisrearoor. communicated the result of his conference with his MAJZIIIT, and the Council were deliberating thereon when this . Paper went to press. The LORD CIIANCILLOR is still in the country; and . the general opinion now is, that there will be no Dissolu tion of Parliament at present. We stop the Press to announce the complete failure of the second part of M. Da VILLZLL'a plan for the conversion of the Five per Cent. Stock into reduced 411 per Cents. Intelligence arrived this day, by Express, from Paris intimating that an annuity only to the amount of a million and a half of trades, bad bein so converted, or 60,0001. sterling-, on which no further comment is neces sary. It is added, however, that the French Minister might, by exerting himself,have effected a more extensive conversion ; but that he was indifferent to the result, as he is enabled, by the immediate supply of Thirty Millions of Francs from St. Domingo, at once to pay off, at or ender par, so much of the capital of the Fives as that sum will,effect ; the consequence of which, added to the ordinary operation of the Sinking Fund, will evidently be such a rise in French Stock, as will un doubtedly enable him to obtain better terms for a reduc tion cf the interest of the National Debt, than if his original plan had succeeded. We copy the following article from the I imes, which, we presume, is authentic—and the more so from the con duct t) etein attributed to an eminent House, bring in perfect consonance with the high character and un- shaken integrity of the honourable men who compose that firm. We need hardly inform our Readers that the House of Messrs. ROTHSCHILD is alluded to, and that evtry member of that powerful establishment would, if we had no direct testimony of the fact, spurn with indignation, an offer of individual gain at the ex pense of that reputation for good faith and consistency which they have attained all over Europe, but which would be in manifest jeopardy if they were for one nu,- ment to lend their countenance to a pilpable robbery, which the miserable Cabinet of Madrid is, by these in sidious means, attempting to perpetrate on the much injured creditors who lent their money on the once in •iolable faith of the Spanish Nation. 0 We have muck pleasure in expressing, on authentic informa tion, our belief that all hopes of raising money here on the part of Spain, however favourable the terms, without the acknowledgment of the Constitutional debt, have been quite extinguished. So re cently as the visit of several eminent capitalists to this city, a propo: anion was made to them by the Spanish Government for al:lmin's tering to the necessities of FZIDINAND by a loan, giving them a cart e blanche as to terms, except that no notice was to be taken of the bonds of the Cortes. There was no act of submission, no degrada tion even in providing the security for the repayment of this debt, which FIRDIXAND would not have acquiesced In, could this dilliculty only have been surmounted. Collectors might have been appointed for his whole revenue, such as it is, under the immediate controul of the contractors, and the wealth of the clergy, had they insisted on it, might have been made in a great degree responsible for the money advanced. " The Gentlemen alluded to, however, remain Arm. Their stake in the securities of other Governments was too large to allow them to sanction, by any act of theirs, and from any motives of ulte rior benefit, a breach of public faith. They therefore transmitted to the Minister of his Catholic Majesty a declaration, signed by every member of the firm, that under any circumstances, and what ever inducements were held out, they would never advance money to Spain, unless a recognition of the bonds of the Cortes formed one of the conditions of the contract. It was thought right, once for all, and in this direct and peremptory manner, to pledge every partner to refuse, both now and hereafter, to become a party to an act of injustice, and to secure themselves born the insult of any more such proposition. from the most degraded creature that ever bore the name of King in Eut opu." Notwithstanding the repulse conveyed in the above intelligence, rumours are very- prevalent that the nego tiation of a Spanish Loan will still be attempted, and the following are the particulars : " The Agent who negociattd the Contract is said to be M. Tas. atY DX 51/CUMIN " The Contract is made by three French houses. " The amount 20 Millions of Pounds Sterling. " The price 60 per cent. Dividend 6 per cent--10 per cent. to be paid down. " The remainder in 24 equal Monthly Payments. " The Contractor to retain two years' Dividend. " To redeem GUE1111111.1)%1 Loan. " To pay the Debt due from Spain to France. " One-half subscribed for by Spanish Houses at Bayonne. " The other by French Houses. . 11 6 " No recognition whatever of the Cortes Bonds: And is it even come to this, that our character as an intelligent nation has, by the insane speculations by which the people of this country have recently been almost suffocated, reached such a pitch of degradation, in the eyes of foreigners, that a Frenchman shall ven ture to appear on our Stock Exchange, and propose Spanish Loan, avowedly for the benefit of France, the prime condition of which is to defraud the innocent Stockholder of Spanish Securities already existing ? Are the English people supposed to be such amazing ulls as to be the butt of every impudent projector in Europe, who may want to rase money for any the most nefarious purposes ?—They are not :—and we will venture to tell the Contractors, if they are • t . serious, that they will not hnd one Stockbroker—no, not one, who wid either sell or buy the Securities which they would on those terms wish to palm on the Capitalists of this country. We have received Mexican Papers from the 22d of May to the Bth of June inclusive. They are chiefly filled with extracts from foreign journals, and scarcely furnish a single paragraph of any interest on domestic affairs. The Paper of the 5.h of June contains the following advertisement, said to be distributed over the streets - in the neighbourhood of the Augustin convent " The Father Sacristan of the Imperial Convent of St. Augustin requests the inhabitants to ornament their doors and balconies, and to illuminate the street through which is to pass the procession of the Holy S]crament next Sunday.* The French Papers of Wednesday and Thursday have reached us. They are extremely uninteresting.— The Quotidknae abounds in brilliant ideas on English affairs. Its last discovery is, " In England the feudal system rules the Funds, and the laws of WILLIAM the CONQULROI4 and his recollections, are still in force by the side of the Navigation Act." The following is an extract : " The Academy of Medicine, in its Sitting of the 6th of Sep tember, received kom the Minister of the Interior a conunnni c ation of great importance, u it points out a grievous defect in me d icinal e4ucation. Dr. Dariste, who has long practised medicine in the Antilles, bas had occasion to remark, that deaths by poison , • , • . • ). home there in a most alarming manner, while the Tribunals are in general unable to prePrethem fbr want of physitiant qualified to decide in such cases. Tith brunt of knowledge in member; of the pro fession U the more lamentable, as in most cases it favotirs - Irtipunity of crime, and may sometimes cause the condemnation of innocent per: .cos. Dariste therefore conceived the idea of sending physicians possessed of proper knowledge ' and at his instigation, Messrs. Orifals, Caventon, and Pelletier have addressed to the Minister of the Interior a letter, in which, after stating what they have learned from Dr. Dariste, they say that France cantiot supply the wants of the colonies, because it posses es so few turn versed in toxicology and forensic medicine. The only thing that can be dune at present would be to found a special school of legal toxicology, in which some pupils, from whom previous know!. dge should be required, might study for two or three years. to be afterwards employed in the colonies, or attached to the royal tribuillis in the departments. Two professors and a preparer would suffice for this school, and a dozen pupils might be admitted annually. The Academy has not come to any decision. " FRENCH Fusas.—P.aats, Sept. 21.—Five per Cents. jouiss. du e2l Sept. 99.55.; Three per Cents. 71. 55." We have received Barbadoes Papers to the lilt% ult. The Paper of the 2d contains an account of the laying of the foundation stale of a building for the reception, maintenance, and education of poor female children. The Bishop attended the ceremony, and implored a blessing on the under taking. The sane paper presents us with a poetical addiess to the Right Rev. Prelate„in which the author, who is a planter, has hailed the ap pointment of an episcopal mission " as ensuring the ex tinction of heathenism in that portion of the Ameri can hemispheie." In the paper of the 9th we find the draught of a Bill to carry into effect the recommendations of Govern ment for the amelioration of the condition of the slaves. Would such a Bill as this ever have been proposed, had the British Parliament still allowed fresh " human cargoes" a free importation to the " milder shor.:" of Baibadoes ? In a preceding page vac have given a view of the present situation and prospect of Buenos Ayres. Nothing but the comparative feebleness of this province, as a naval and military Power, could, we suppose, have induced the Emperor of BRAZIL to act so precipitately as be has done, in sending a fleet to menace Buenos Ayres, and to assert his claim to the Banda Oriental by force of arms. If, however, the Federative Union of the several Republics in South America is formed, Brazil will not have the Provinces of Rio de la Plata alone to contend with, but the victorious troops of BOLIVAR, the Mexicans, the Peruvians, Ace. will unite against her. The latter the EXPRROR has already provoked by seizing on the province of Chiquitos, inhabited by a numerous and warlike nation of Indians, in Upper Peru. Th- other intelli gence from South America will be found interestiug. THE KING.

TOLIRATION.—On the Ist of July, the Executive of the Province of Buenos Ayres transmitted to the House of Repre sentative% the project of a law on religious toleration, couched in these words :—" The tight which every man has to worship Goa according to his own conscience, shall be inviolable in the territory of this province." We have received papers and letters from St. Vin cent's to the 9th August, which are of a very unfavour able ir4ture. By these we learn, that on the Friday precaling (the 6th), the estate of Col. BROWN had been nearly destroyed by fire ; the negroes having burnt down the boiling-house, the negro huts on the estate. and finally, the proprietor's house. Such a fire bad never before been known at St. Vincent's, and the greatest alarm prevailed among the inhabitants of the colony, as it was known to be the work of incendiaries, seven of the negroes concerned being in custody and four more who had affected their escape, were closely pursued. The adviees from Berbice also mention tha• great sickness prevailed throughout that colony, but in other respects that place was quiet. . . , DONCASTER RACES-.YESTERDA y. , (BY EXPRESS.)

His Majesty's Ship Prince, Ordinary Depot, Portsmouth Harbour, Sept. CZ, 1225. Sso—On reading the account of the late accident at Portsmouth, in the Part:mewlle Telegraph of last week, I was surprised is observe that the name of Mr. M•Conkey, the Surgeon's Assistant of this Ship, who has been doing duty in the Surgery of this Dock yard, is omitted in the list of Medical Gentlemen who gave their services on the occasion (I presume from the circumstances net having been accurately stated to the Editor). As I bad an opporta. nity, immediately after the occurrence, of witnessing that Gentle man's exertions I think it a justice due to his merit as well as ha manity to acquaint the Public, through the medium of your usehil Paper, that they were unparalleled. I have the pleasure of serving in the same ship, and can with the strictest truth declare, that for humane attention and professional skill, as fat as I am a jodge, he stands unrivalled. I have great satisfaction in adding, that the basin-is now entirely cleared, and no more bodies have been found than those which the Public are already apprized of.—l am, Sir, Your most obedient Servant, THOMAS L. YATES, Purser of the Ordinary Depot, Portsmouth• CALAMITOUS ACCIDENT AT IRVINE. FURTHER PARTICULARS. A melancholy occurrence took place at Irvine on Sunday after. noon.' A party of seven yoling men, from Kilmarnock, after having been some time in a public-house on Irvine Quay, proposed to have a sail; and having procured the ferry-boat, and an old man sad a boy with a couple of oars to pull, they left the pier end at five o'clock. The wind being southerly, and the tide ebbing, the boat was carried quickly down the river, bearing directly on the north point, where the current runs with a dangerous rapidity. Heretic was enveloped in a strong surf, which alarmed the boatman, and he _ . propowl to return ; but the eagerness of the passengers to enjoy an aqu,atic excursion, and the promise of additional remuneration, iv dud him to persevere. This point had scarcely been settled when the boat shipped a considerable quantity of water, and the hat of one of the passengers was blown off, to lift which the boat was put about, and while in the act of turning, she was violently struck by 2 wave, and fairly upset. The unfortunate men were seen from the shore to struggle a short time with their awful fate, and a boat im mediately put off to their assistance, but it was too late to be of ma terial use, for, of the aloe people on board only three were saved, and two of these had regained their places before assistance arrived. The names of the unfortunate men who perished are : —George Urquhart, saddler in Kilmarnock, John Anderson, Hugh Dickie, William Stirling, and James Stewart, all painters from Glasgow, Lately employed in Kilmarnock, and -- Sawers, a boy employes to pull. Stewart has left a wife and child. A King's Messenger (Mr. Run) was sent off on Thursday afternonn o upon the breaking up of the Council, to the Latin CHANCELLOR, at Encombe, Dorsetshire. THE LATE MRS. WELLESLEY Pt/LE LONG. —Monday morning the remains of this lady left Richmond, for the famih mansion at Draycott, and arrived thereon Thursday. On reaching within half a mile of the above place, the funeral procession was joined by two and thirty of the tenants, in black cloaks and on horseback, followed by the hearse and six horses, and lour mourning coaches and four. The chief mourners were her two sisters, Lord Maalraosoutsu, and some other relations, and at twelve o'clock they reached the Church,which adjoins the house. and the body was deposited in the family vault. The whole was under the direction of the King's upholders. AU the inliabitatr , of the village appeared in mourning. The Church was hung in black, and on the front of the.pulpit were the family arms, ate. Ilse remains of Lord LONGFORD were yesterday morning deposited at Windsor, in a vault in St. George's Chapel, adjoining th2t of the late Bishop of Sau.senver.
