people; but a recent traveller, M. Aloßier, has de scribed the people as having a repugnance to Te ser vice. Some cities, as Buenos Ayres, have formed vo- 1 • lunteer corps; bit in general the military spirit is not very prevalent among the South Americans, and if they were attacked by a regular army, they would de fend themselves by rapid marches, repeated surprises, and feigned retreats, which are suited to the character of their troops. It is an important circumstance that the Spanish language is not the dominant one, and pre vails only in the Church, among the people connected with the administration of public affairs and of justice; and in some towns the Indian languages were too well formed, and too deeply rooted to give place to that of the conquerors, or even to feel its influence. In Mexico, the intequc, in Guatimala the Cachiquele, in New Gre nada the j%losca, in Peru the Qniclina, and in*Chili the Araucan, are the only languages used by the people. An European army would be nearly everywhere fo reigners." We shall not follow M. Alalte Brun in his estimate of the moral and political force of the new Governments, but come to what he says as to pre serving their independence. " Will the cultivators of the soil," he asks, desire that ancient regime which would order them to root out their vines, their tobacco, and their hemp, to favour the cultivation of the mother country? Nothing is more striking than the reduction in the price of commodities which has taken place since the beginning of the Revolution. Things have fallen Iloo.per cent. and will the Americans give up these ad vantage.? A single class, that of the Clergy, appears to superficial 'observers inclined to favour a counter-re volution in America. The great wealth of the Clergy is a subject of uneasiness for them, and a temptation for the Governments. The differences with the Holy See and the emigration of some Bishops, proved that at feast a part of the Clergy had some fear of the inde pendent Governments. But hitherto the new Govern menu have not molested the Clergy in the possession of their property. The Cures sit in the Congress of Co— lombia, and have shewn themselves very republican: the Bishops assisted to place Iturbide on the throne of Mexico; the Monastic Orders share the public power in Guatimala and Chili, and everywhere the majority of the Clergy have taken their places in the new order of things. The Court of Rome has entered into a formal treaty with the Republics of Colombia and Chili, recog nising in their Presidents the same rights in ecclesiastical affairs as are enjoyed by Catholic Sovereigns. It can scarcely be expected, after this exposé, that the Clergy will excite the Indians to rise in favour of Spain. We do not speak of domestic quarrels; and if the Clergy and the Republics should quarrel at some period, they would probably prefer to the ancient order of things two or three independent Monarchies, under Italian, Spanish, or Austrian Princes. A sentiment of this kind among the upper classes of the Clergy is evident in some mandements, sermons, and other authentic public documents now lying before us. The separation, there fore, of Spanish America seems to us decided, in spite of their feeble military power, and the germs of discord which they contain, and in spite of the facilities which Spain, when thoroughly, established, might find in the bravery of her subjects, to attempt new but fruitless en terprises in the new world." In conclusion, M. Make Brun recommends Spain to recognise the independence of her Colonies, and thus give herself a claim to their gratitude, and a share of their commerce.—Journal des Debats. 9r i GREECE- FROM THE ETOILE OP MONDAY, AUGUST 9. PARIS, AUGUST 8. It was to be presumed that if the melancholy news of the taking of Ipsara by the Turks was authentic, the Austt inn Observer would soon confirm it. In fact, we find the following account in the number of the 29th of July : " CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 15. " An Meer of the ICAptain Pacha, who arrived yesterday in this capital, brought the agreeable news of the taking of the import ant island of Ipsara, by that Admiral. " It is already known that the number tit brass guns, mortars, &c. which he has taken, is nearly 200, and that of the vessels of all descriptions, large and small, to above 100. There are 2$ which are so completely equipped and armed that they will immediately accompany the ilirkiah fleet In its cruise. Three large corvettes were on the stocks. " Before the attack the Captain Pacha had proposed to the Ispa riots an entire amnesty, on the sole condition of their giving up sonic chiefs of the insurrection, and paying the capitation tax, at the end of the year. on the ancient footing. " After the taking of Ipsara, the Captain Pacha proceeded against Samoa." The Augsburg Gazette of the 3d of August contains a letter from Odessa of the 20th of July, which con tains the same news. It is ob-erved in this letter, that the Ipsarints could not accept the amnesty, knowing that in the language of the Turks amnesty and massacre are synonymous terms. The exampled Scio proved this. EXTRACTS OF LETTERS PROM RANTS, OF THE 6TH AND 15TH JULY. 4. We have the pleasure to say, that the advices Rom all quarters are of the most satisfactory nature, as re spects the affairs of Greece. The Government is com pletely reestablished, and in quiet possession of Napoli di Romania. Colocotroni and the other Chiefs who were opposed to it have submitted, and it appears to us they are only in want of the money, or even some part of it, to enable them to take very decisive measures of defence against the threatened attacks of the Turks by sea and land—with the exception of some little ad vantages gained by the Tutks in Candia, Negropont, and Livadia, we hear of nothing having been done by • land;—and by a vessel arrived from Hydra, we hear that the Greek squadron was ready for sea. We cannot yet learn that the Turkish fleet has left Alexandria, and it is the general opinion that they would not be able to embark the troops intended for the Morea. That part of the fleet that lately left the Dardanelles was in the neighbourhood of Mitylene, endeavouring to embark troops, but it is not expected it will even be able to reach its destination." Count RUMFORD ascertained that a drashm of water, inclosed in a mass of iron the size of a solid 24th cannon, was suf f icient to burst it with a tremendous explosion or. the application of heat. A BEGGAR'S LEGACY.—A beggar whose constant station was at the door of the church of San Carlo, at lett as a legacy to the canons of the church, a hat ultich he was always in the habit of wearing, for the purthase of four paintings as altar-pieces to the church, which were to be executed by four great Italian mas ters. The executor to the will was in doubt whether he should present the whimsical legacy, when a friend of the deceased entering, seized a pair of scissors, and on making an incision in the old castor, out dropped eight hundred pieces of Florentine gold. which had been ingeniously imbedded in the lining.

The Captain *ports that "On the 29th ult. lat. 57. N. long. 13 W. at dayligh t in the morning, hazy weather, came close past four sail of the line and a frigate, standing to the South-westward. They :hewed no colours, keeping their crews so snug that not a man was visible, and Captain BEVERLEY supposed them to be Russians." We suspect that Capt. BEVERLEY, though an Aberdeen Captain, has been born on this side of the Tweed, for had he possessed the privilege of Scotia's sons, the manoeuvre of concealing colours, and stowing all the sailers below, would Dot, have prevented his de ciding to what .couatry the ships belonged. Some of our will be at no loss to fix their desti- nation, unless, indeed, they hesitate whether this Rus sian fleet is to reconquer South America, or to compel the United Stares to yield to the claim of the Imperial ALEXANDER to the whole North-West Coast of the New World. In a preceding column we have given, from a French Paper, a corroboration of the intelligence we yesterday communicated in more ample detail, of the fall of Ip- 1 sara, and Samos. This event, though by no means deci sive as to the great struggle, is one of the sevettst blows the Greeks have met with since they first raised the standard of-the Cross against that of the Crescent. If, however, it should have the effect of shewing the Greeks how necessary it is that thef should bury all private dissentions and jealousies, and should rouse those who have manifested some degree of apathy, it may be productive of good. Indeed it would appear that the dissentions which prevailed have subsided. , Letters from Zante of the 15th of July, announce the delivery of part of the Loan to MAUROCORDATO, by the orders of the Greek Government, for the service of Western Greece. At that tio4e accounts from all parts of Greetie were very favourable. The military Chiefs had submitted to the Government. Napoli di Romania was iu their possession, and up to that period, nothing had been heard of the Turks, except at Negro pont and Livadia, where they had shewn themselves. Another letter states, that 20,000 Turks had arrived at Salona and at Galaxidi, on the gulf of Lepanto, and the Egyptian fleet was hourly expected. From the want of rain and unusual degree of heat which have prevailed for some time, the currant vines had been much injured • throughout the lonian Islands. By a vessel arrived from Hydra, we hear that the Greek squadron was ready for sea, they having raises a temporary loan for that purpose. In a preceding page we have given extracts from the United States Papers, received last night, to the 16th ult. We have this morning received another file of New York Papers, one day later. One of them states, that the Supreme Executive of Colombia has dispatched orders to the respective ports of the Republic, positively prohibiting all Spaniards who had emigrated from the Peninsula from entering the territories of Co lombia, however liberal might be their opinions ; and also extending the prohibition to such Americans as might have co-operated with Spain in the war against Colombia. This forenoon we received the French Papers of Mon day, and the Etoile of yesterday, by Express. The Mo• niteur copies the melancholy intelligence from Ipsara., The Kum, who transacted business with M. de Vrt.- LILLE on Monday, and afterwards rode out in his car riage, was to return to the Thuilleries yesterday. The Etoik contains a paragraph relating to the capture of Ipsara, stating that the women and children were shut up in a monastery, and that the guard had orders to immolate them, rather than suffer them to fall into the hands of the barbarians. We trust that the clemency of the Capitan Pacha averted so horrible a catastrophe. Aug. 9.—Rentes, 100 f. 90c.

After the publication of the noted Decree of King FERDINAND, miscalled an Amnesty, it will be re membered that a great number of disorders occurred in Valencia, which naturally excited the indignation of the people.

These con tests have since placed the whole of the proviacp of Castello in commotion, in consequence whereof one of the last mails, going from Valencia to Madrid was in tercepted.

THE Cot DSTIIAM GoARDS.--Dunize, Ana. 6.—Last evening this fine and orderly bOdy of men embarked at the Pigeon House in several cutters, for Liverpool. The.exemplary conduct of the meg, and the gentlemanly deportment of the Officers daring their sojourn of a year , amongst us, procured for them the respect and esteem of Orson, of every class. The battalion was accompanied on its rpute to the Pigeon House by several respectable tradesmen and cideetts of the better order, who evinced by their manner and their cheer ing, the impressions which the conduct of these brave and well behaved men had made upon them.

The corps went through various manoeuvres in good style, and notwithstanding the badness of the day, all the beauty and shion of the country were collected.. Above twenty carriages were present. The Duke of Morraose and family were on the field the whole day, and after the Review of the Yeomanry cavalry was finished, his Grace inspected that most efficient corps, the Dumbartonshire Volunteer Infantry, which is equal to any corps of the same description in the Kingdom. The Officers afterwards entertained a numerous party to dinner, and the, even ing was spent in the utmost harmony.

The boll ran after these Ladies• for full a quarter of a mile, bellowing and throwing up the ground in the most vicious temper ; he had come so near to them, that one of the Ladies had got her shawl ready to throw at him, as a last resource. When almost dead with fatigue by rnnning, they reached a stable, into which they escaped ; from that moment the bull became so fu rious, he was obliged to be tied with cords until he could be killed.

SIMPSON'S (Or Sit RIWSBORT) WILL. This long litigated Caine was again brought under the notice of the Court, on the petition of Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Newsnn, the tenants for life, praying a reversal of the Order made by his Ho nour the Vice-Chancellyr, by which a receiver was appointed o f the estates in Scotland as well as of those in Kngland. The present Petition prayed that the case might be referred to the blaster, and that the Petitioners might be allowed to re;eive out the clear fund then in Court. The question in this ease is, whether the Semen estates are liable to the charges of repairs and certain purchases, which, on the part of the Trustees it was contended, bad been mad e for the benefit of the estate ? This was met by an allegation, that there had been received no leas a sum than 114342, and ;;tat the yearly income of the property ansoubted to nu less a aunt than X1,45:3. From the pleadings it appeared that the rent. of the Scotch estates had been applied to the general purposes of the estate; whereas, they did not pass, by the will, in any ozber way than to the Ladies in querion, one of wbum is the wite of Dr. Johnson, as tenants for life, and that they were .eutitled to thl whole proceeds of theta, at a clear estate.
