In addition to the other documents which have been published respecting the occupation of Amelia Island, we give this day, in another part of our Paper, the Message transmitted by the President to Congress, communicating the event. We see nothing in it to change the opinion we have before expressed of this transaction. The President is pleased to affirm that a country, over which Spain fails to maintain her authority, and which she permits to be con verted to the annoyance of her neighbours, is of ne cessity no longer under her jurisdiction—but that, at the same time, in expelling the adventurers who had taken possession of it, it was not intended to make any conquest from Spain, or to injure, in any degree, the cause of her Colonies. What then ? Why if there is any thing in this state-logic at all, it amounts to this—that the United States ought forthwith to proceed and take possession of one and all of the South American Colonies, over which Spain has ceased to maintain her authority, and which are in no better situation, according to the real purport of the PRESIDENT'S argument, than the Island of Amelia was, which, as far as any thing yet appears to the contrary, was occupied by AURY under a re gular commission from one of the Independent Go vernments. It is really needless, however, to go into this view of the matter, which is palpably got up fc;r the purpose of serving as a pretext for conduct ori ginating in motives of a very different description. The PRESIDENT himself lets out the secret in plain enough terms in the concluding sentence of his Mes sage, where he adds, that " care will be taken that no part of the territory contemplated by the law of 1811 shall be occupied by aforeign Government of any kind." Just so.—lt is this, and no other, which is the question at issue. What right of occupation have the United States as to Amelia Island, or any other territory similarly situated, which any foreign Government has not equally with themselves ? Some farther private details have been received from Trinidad, respecting the piogmss of the Inde pendents of Venezuela, which we have given in another column. Although not of a later date than those we have already received, they will be found to contain some interesting particulars. We have received Quebec Papers to the Bth ult. and have extracted from them the Address of the Governor of Lower Canada on opening the Legisla tive Council of that Province. We are happy to ob serve from it, that the distresses of the people have since last year been greatly alleviated. Dispatches have been received at the Secretary of State's Office fur the Colonial Department, from the Duke of WELLINGTON, giving a detailed account of the attempt made to assassinate him. Immediately after the Earl BATHURST had made himself acquain ted with the contents of the dispatches, he repaired with them to Carlton-house, and laid them before the PRINCE REGENT. His Lordship remained a con siderable time with his Royal Highness. Soon after the return of the Noble Secretary of State to his Of fice, a Messenger was sent off with dispatches to the Duke of WELLINGTON at Paris. The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived this morning. On the subject of the late attempt at assassination they are perfectly silent ; and it is merely stated, with respect to the Duke of WELL' s:oroN, that a guard of gend'armeric is now posted at his Grace's Howl. Neither in the Chamber of Peers, nor in that of the Deputies, has any thing of the least in terest to foreigners occurred during the List week. M. GOLTZ, the Prussian Minister at Frankfort, is stated to have made, to the Germanic Diet, a declaration of great interest, relative to the Thin teenth Article of the Congress of Vienna. It is announced in this declaration, that the KING of PiaissiA had engaged to give his people a political Constitution, and that he remains firmly resolved to do so ; but that certain obstacles which the Minister explained, had prevented his MAJESTY carrying his resolution into effect, and still obliged him to defer its execution for some time. Passengers from the Cape of Good Hope, who left St. Helena not more than seven or eight weeks ago, state that BONAPARTE was reported at that period - to be extremely ill. The Gazette of Aix la Chapelle repeats the report that MAntA LOUISA, the Ex-Empress, may he ex pected in London, in the course of the ensuing Spring. Although the Subscription for the Relief of Di-- tressed Seamen is satisfactorily closed, we must not omit to mention the exertions in aid of that Subscrip tion by the Town of Sheerness. A Meeting was held at that place, in the Garrison, on the sth instant, at which the utmost zeal was manife,ted, and the deeper.r. sump achy felt, in " the suffcrir,gs of the gallant and " intrepid, but thoughtless and unrortunate British " Seamen." These were the words used on the occa sion ; and the sum of 821.1,15. was forthwith trans niitted to town, at a time when it Wel` net known that the other sabsci . ptions were so nuntercus.

The Brilliant, Ma nta, from ,Rothesay, from Liverpool for Greenock, is lost in Dingle Bay ; crew saved.-.-By letters from Stronsay, dated the 22d and 30th ult. we learn the following particulars respecting the brig Carolina, of Aberdeen, which came ashore, bottom up, on that island, as formerly stated :—The carpenters had been employed for some time in stripping the quarter of the vessel, in order to get out her cargo, when on the 22d two dead bodies were seen in the cabin, and one in the forecastle ; but they could not then be got at from the decks and flooring being all jammed to gether ; on the 24th, however, they were got out, and decently interred in the chuich yard of Stronsay.— Since that time four other bodies have been found in the vessel, and among these the Captain has been recognised, from the marking " AL. DUNCAN," in his shirt. From the number of bodies found below, it is presumed that the Carolina must have been up set at sea, in a sudden squall, when the greatest part of the crew were in bed. The cargo (timber of large sizes) Ras been principally saved ; and a small part aim materials and rigging ; but the hull is com pletely broke up. GRAVESEND, FEBRUARY 16.

CRIEW OF THE INDIAN.---It is with considerable sa tisfaction we inform the public, that by letters re ceived in town by a respectable mercantile house, it is stated that eleven persons out of the crew and pas sengers, have arrived in Ireland. They were two days at sea in an open boat, and, when nearly ex hausted, were fortunately picked up. We have not as yet heard the names of the persons saved ; but it must afford some consolation, that even so many fel low-creatures have been rescued from a watery grave. Exectrrron.—Mary Ann James, for forging a war rant of attorney to dispose of 115/. Navy 5 per cents. the property of a Mrs. Elizabeth Thomas, with intent to defraud the Company of the Bank of England; Charlotte Newman, for forging and uttering as true, divers notes, purporting to be of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England ; William Hatch man, for a similar offence; an d John .43te11, fur bur glary in the house of Mrs. Johnson, were, in pursu ance of their respective sentences, executed tail morn ing, before the Debtors door in the Old Bailey. The execution of these unfortunate sufferers, particularly on account of the two women, attracted, at an early hour, an immense confluence of persons: on no si milar occasion, of late, has there been so large a crowd collected together. At a quarter past eight the unfortunate sufferers began to come forward on the platform. The two women advanced first, both of them neatly dressed in mourning ; they were so weak that they were obliged to be supported during the whole of the time previous to their being launched off. Their fellow-sufferers, Hatchman and Astell, were soon after brought forward : one seemed much affected, but the other displayed a hardihood not often witnessed in such situations. The executioner having performed the melancholy task of adjusting the ropes to each of them, they were then left for a few moments in converse with the Rev. J. Ccrrrox, Ordinary of Newgate, and a Catholic clergyman, after which the former Divine gave the usual signal, the drop instantly fell, And the unfortunate sufferers were launched into eternity. Great as the pressure of the crowd was, fortunately no a.:,;!lent worthy of notice occurred . THE AizaiV. . . .

Yesterday morning the Duke of YORK and Duchess of GLOUCESTER visited the QUEEN and PRINCESSEY at the Palace, previous to their leaving town.. Yesterday the Prince of Hasse Hoatanta visited the Duke of CLAeraict. The PittncEns to whom report says the Duke of Cwittaxca is to be married, is so remarkable for the fairness of her completion, that she is usually called the Royal Albin. Lady Lotasn EISKINE, now in Paris, is sister to the Marquis of Anot.nscn, and she graces the Pen sion List of this country for 600/. a year, though her father, the Earl of UXBRIDGE,- was a Nobleman of immense fortune. She fell in love with Sir JAMILS ERSKINE, and her pension was a marriage portion. She is near 40 years of age. Sir JAMES is in Scotland. A cant. con. cause, which is likely to bring out some curious evidence, is on the paper for trial, in which a nephew of the Marchioness of Ilaarronto is plaintiff. - By the melancholy death of Sir RICHARD Citorr, the Baronetcy descends to his son, Captain Caorr, who distinguished himself as an Officer, at the Battle of Waterloo. The Countess of BESBOROUGH had lately the mis fortune to dislocate her elbow, while at the Duke of DevoNsuinis seat, at Chatsworth. The Duchess of DE VONSII IRE, by accounts received yesterday from Rome, has enjoyed very good health since her residence there. Yesterday, a short time previous to the departure of the quezx for Windsor, when the carriage was drawn up in the front of the Palace, a young man of a respectable appearance endeavoured to force his way past the centinel who was stationed near the iron gates, leading to the grand entratce of the Palace. centinel told him he could not proceed that way, but the young man insisted upon it, saying he wanted to see the QUEEN, at the same time holding up a stick, as if to strike the centinel. The Poiice Officers who were in attendance immediately took the young man into custody : His conduct was immediately in. vial/rad before , Colonel Upton, when upon ac. know edging the impropriety of his conduct, and asking the centinel's pardon, he was liberated. The Kitchen Department of the present E4PRAXIII'S establishment is on the most princely style, there being no less than seven French cooks and six women assistants employed. The new Tragedy of The Appeal, to be represented at the Edinburgh Theatre during the present season, is from the pen of Joips GALT, Esq. the ingenious author of Travels in Sicily, Greece, and Turkey, of the Lives of Cardinal Wolsey, and of Benjamin West, P.R.A. M. VALABRIQUE, in his defence of CATALANI'II management of the Theatre Favart, says, that if she had not acquired a fortune, before entering upon that enterprize (that is in England), she must have been totally ruined by it, the losses have been so great. When TALMA returned to the Theatre Fraiicais, from his late visit to England, the Netherlands, and the Provinces, there was a good deal of opposition to his reception, from the Parisians, who were angry at his long absence. Ile played Coriolanus, and when he came to the " Adieu, Rome! je pars"— a sharp voice added, from the pit "pour ks departments." STRANGE STORY IN HIGH LlFE!—it is said, that a late Peer was, .with his Lady, and another Lady who was under his protection, many years ago in Paris, where both were delivered at the same period, the first of a daughter and the latter of a son. It is said that a late celebrated Accouelseur attended both, and by the instigation of the mother of the son, was induced to exchange the children ; so that this son became the heir of the family title and possessions. It is said that the mother of the son has been lately seized with feelings of contrition, and has openly declared the whole truth. If, therefore, her evidence is ad mitted, the nominal heir will be deprived of all his honours and possessions. It was yesterday reported, that the Nobleman alluded to, on receiving a letter relating to it froM a certain Lady now on the Conti nent, did not hesitate a moment as to the line of conduct it would be proper for him to pursue. He waited upon a near relative interested, who received the application for advice with the most marked at tention, at the same time requesting that he would make himself perfectly easy as to the result ; and added, " You will meet with no interruption from me, unless you should marry—it will then be a case for the consideration of children and mine, should any at that period e• ist."—lt is added, that the Noble Lord who made these cbservations is making preparations for departing forthwith fcr Italy to make the necessary inquiries. fa addition to the niystericus narrative, it is said that the Lady alluded to had been converted to the Roman Catholic faith in Italy, and made the discovery in question in the penitence of Confession, being solemnly exhorted by the Priest to unburthen her mind in that respect.
