Governments are founded on different principles. We' tan only hope that wa are not assisting the pioneers of' the Holy Alliance in opening a breach, and that a Mi nister will not say to us, • We must attack England, of defend ourselves on the Rhine.'" The Contitutionoct may rest satisfied that no French Minister will have the fully Of hardihood to dispute our recmiition of the South Ametican States by such an appeal. Time and the course of events, as Mr. Secretary CANNING well observed in one of his Dispatches to Sir Wis.r.tara ATotraT, have substantially decided the se paration of these States from the mother country ; and their independence will 'not rest on the recognition or bon-recognition of it by the European Powers. The Etoile of Sunday contains some intelligence from- Greece of a gratifying nature. The campaign is said to have terminated in favour of the just cause, in con- , sequence of the Loan supplied by this country ; and it is added, that it would enable the Greeks to scour the coasts of Asia, and the islands occupied by the Turks, during the winter, so as to cripple their force entirely. The results of the contests on land had not been more favourable to the armies of the Porte than those of the naval campaign had been to its fleets. Denwiscn PACIIA had fled back, discomfited, to Larissa, where he had been cicsely pursued ; and, instead pf the repose which he expected to enjoy, %sould soon find himself compelled to fight for his ex, istence. OMEn Bay, who, towards the close of the summer, had obtained some advantages in Attica, had since been compelled to retreat to Negropont,where he was closely blockaded. The latest statements respect ing COLOCOTRONI represent him as abandoned by the Mainotes, who had at first espoused hiscause, and as on the eve of being overpowered. Seventeen vessels had been sent to resume the blockade of Patras, and to press the siege, and hasten the surrender of that im portant place. 7HE A lalY.

His premature death was caused by his immersing his foot, when attacked by erysipelas, into cold water, which fixed the disease in his stomach, and proved fatal to him in his 49th year. We understand the chief part of his large personal and other property has been left to his nephew, Captain :Mai:trots, Late of the Royal Ftisileers, nephew to the Earl of ENNIACILLIN, and. one of the Commissioners of Civil Accounts.

Yesterday being the anniversary of the day on which his MAJESTY was proclaimed, no business was done in either the Court of Chancery, Vice-Chancellor's Court, Court of Common Pleas, or the Court of Exchequer. The Birth-day of BURNS was celebrated by the Glas gow Ayrshire Society on Tuesday last, in the Black Bull Inn, there. About eighty Gentlemen were present. DAVID FERGUSON, Esq. in the chair. A number of loyal and appropriate toasts were given from the chair, which were followed by well selected and very beauti• ful airs, performed by an excellent vocal and instru mental band, under the direction of Mr.Wra.CurtNiso- HAM. The company were also delighted by marry very sweet songs, which were sung by some of the Gen tlemen present with exquisite taste. A number of neat speeches 'were made, and verses recited. During the whole evening the utmost harmony prevailed, and the company parted with reluctance at a late hour. , -- The dinner and wines were excellent. NEW FISH COMPANY.—A Company has been formed in Edinburgh, to supply the Glasgow market with fish caught•on the East coast. The fish are to be carried to that city on spring carts. A communication has been made to the Chamber of Commerce of Bristol, amongst other public bodies, from the Common Council, informing them, that they are willing to bring a Bill into Parliament in the ensu• ' ing Session provided they can do so without opposi tion, to telitsquish the Town dues hitherto collected on the Irish and Coasting Trades, and also to reduce and modify the remaining rate of dues, fnr which latter purpose they have prepared graduated scales of Town and Mayor's dues, abolishing the ad valorem rate on Town dues, and substituting a package or weight and measure scale, as the case may requite." And it is ordered, that this resolution " with the schedule," be sent to these bodies for their "consideration." Saturday se'nnight an Inquest was held before the Right Hon. Lord CARBERY, and THOMAS HUNGER WORD, Esq. of Cahirmore, two Magistrates of the county of Cork, in the absence of the Coroner, on the body of John Shannahan, who was killed at Cunsbeen, on the night of Friday the 14th. After a patient in vestigation of the facts, and examination of the body, which it was necessary to disinter, a verdict of wil ful murder was found against John Scully, Cor nelius Cadogan, and John Lohort. The unfortunate deceased had been out stealing potatoes, and those men having charge of some which were under distress for rent, and which had been plundered, followed him and his brother to their house, where they struck and beat him in such a violent manner, with the handles of ' spades, that be survived only a few hours, and died on Saturday the 15th. As soon as the Magistrates were apprised of the fact, the following day a messenger was dispatched to Cork for a Coroner ; and after waiting to the last day of the week, and no Coroner arriving,the Magistrates very properly held an Inquest, lest the body should have got into such a state that the cause of the death might not have been ascertained. Some of the parties are in custody.—Cork Paper. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. -- , Off Dover, the Samuel, Mammon, from Gibraltar; and So. mere, MACKEY, from Virginia.

Coninterect drools of applause from all pares of Me Aortit) Diving this scassett.costsmotion Mr. Ei.uareaszsisie on the stage (fie:iitempted to. obtain .leariiig,• But failing, he *shook birds" With Mr. ItiAt4 in a hearty manner; and the audience manifested their approba tion in the mast marked manner, lqr. tikA N s:Ailte to Mr. ELLISTON (suggestirr , to him, that ft would be het: ter for him .to-retire), and then intrwiuced soN. Several persons cried out in the pit, "LA the friends of KEAN be silent." After many repetitions of this demand, it began to be acted on, and in the course , of the fourth act order began to be restored. The first passage we could distinctly hear from Mr. KEA N, WAS the following lines, with which he makes his exit in one of the scenes: sly deeds, nephew, Shall speak my love; what men report, I weigh not." He delivered this passage with peculiar animation and. emphasis, and was vehemently applauded by one party, and feebly, from want of numbers, denounced by the other. Many parts of the dialogue now became au dible, but nothing worth observing dpon took place until he came to another exit. Enough has been done already to she A•, that towards the latter end of the play the fury eff contest had sufficiently subsided to admit even of an exercise of judgment, and that many fa vourite points were seized upon in comecrience. As the catastrophe drew nigh, the enthusias , n of the suc cessful party began to manifest itself again, and the exit of Sir Giks drew down thunders of applause hi orn all parts of the house, which over bore all attempts at any thing like effective opposition. When the curtain fell, Mr. TuompsoN, came forward to announce the per formances for the next night, but was obliged to retire without accomplishing his object, in consequence cf re peated calls for Mr. KF.AN. After some time, the cur tain rose for tie little Afterpiece of Old and Young, in which we may observe, by the way, that Miss CLA RA FISHER performed with admirable spirit and humour. She is much improved in her acting, but she has grown so fast since last we had the pleasure of seeing her, that the astonishment which originally struck the beholder, kt is no longer felt. She is, nevertheless, still almost a prodigy, and always affords a vast portion of amuse ' ment. The cry of ‘‘ KEAN, KEAN," became loude and louder,.. until at length that Gentleman made hi s appearance, dressed in plain clothes, and made the fols lowing short address: " "ADM •ND Gromettsts—l have already made such conces sion to an English public as an English character ought to do (Loud applause). I hope, for the honour of my country, as I shall, at the expiration of my engagement for twenty nights, take my leave of you for ever—(Loud cries of No, no)-1 hope, for the honour of my country, that this persecution will never resets foreiga annals." DRURI-LANE THEATRE. Last night was Mr. KEAN'S third appearance this season. The entrances were thronged an hour before the doors were opened, though not by such considerable numbers as on the former nights. The pit and galleries were soon crammed to an over flow ; but it was evident that the audience was not composed of men of that vio lent party spirit which manifested itself on the preceding evenings. The boxes, which were filled soon after the commencement of the play, were graced with the pie sence of a considerable number of the fair sex, and amongst them many individuals of rank and fashion. The play announced for representation was MASS! tacEn's New Way to Pay Old Debts, and these who had pre viously witnessed Mr. KICAN'S unrivalled excellence as Sir Giles. must have been greatly disappointed that so much fine acting was destroyed through the inveterate' opposition of a few individuals, who, contrary to the glseral voice of the audience, continued till neatly the close orthe play to interrupt the performance. The .uproar, as on the former nights, commenced previous to the play. Before the curtain rose, one man in the lower gallery amused the audience by singing a song, and at the coorclusicm he made a speech which excited much laughte and applause:— " Ladies and Gentlemen - -I address myself to the higher circles (he pointed to the one shilling gallery) on behalf of a persecuted man (laughter). Will you suffer him to be destroyed by a malignant set of creatures (shouts of applause)? No, no, lam sure you will not suffer it (loud cheering). " We could distinguish only two or three persons in the boxes who expressed disapprobation. The leaders of these were two dandified youths in one of the side boxes on the second tier, who made themselves par ticularly obnoxious to the audience by their groans and hisses. Many of those who were very warm in favour of Mr. Kenn pelted these illuminati with oranges, and two; of the chandeliers were broken in the contest. Two Acts of the Play were reduced to mere pantomime, by the conddetof these young men ; at length the whole Pit rose, and demanded that they should be ejected; they sneered and laughed, and by most offensive gesti culations bid defiance to the audience. Two young men in an adjoining box went to them and said, " if you disturb the performance again, out you shall go." They cried " off, off," as loud as they could bawl, and for their temerity they were ousted on the instant, and carried along the lobby to the top of the stairs. Steen after the curtain was drawn up, two placards were exhibited, " let those who are without sin cast the first stone," and " forget and forgive." Immense cheering followed. The spectators in the pit rose from their seats on Mr. KIIAN'S entrance, and gave nine distinct clieers. The house was shaken by the tremendous noife. Cries of " be silent and hear," succeeded, but during the first act scarcely a single word was heard beyond the or chestra. At the commencement of the second act, two elderly persons entered the left side boxes, and assailed Mr. • KEAN with cries of " off, off," and the confusion created in the house exceeded description. Orange peel, biscuits, and whole oranges were thrown into the box where the belligerents sat, and they were compelled to place their hats before their faces to save them from the pitiless pelting that came in` every direction. The chandeliers in front of the box shared the same fate as those on the opposite side of the house, and in the midst of the tumult two oranges w ere thrown upon the stage. One of them nearly struck Miss SMITHsON, and the ex pression of indignatirn in.the countenance of KEAN at this unmanly outrage, drew from the audience the loudest plaudits. The orange was thrown by one of the elderly Gentlemen we before alluded to; and there were general cries of " turn out," " throw him over," &c. Mr. Et.ustou was repeatedly called for; after some time he appeared on the itage, and took up one of the oranges which had been thrown at the performers, and exhibited it to the audience. He attempted to ad dress them, but such was the continued uproar, that the words " Ladies and Gentlemen" only were distinctly heard. Several persons in the pit pointed out to Mr. Eturroft the individual who had thrown the orange, and Mr. ELLISTON went to the left side of the stage, and requested him to quit the box. For some time he pertinaciously refused to do so, but when be discovered that preparation was making for kicking him out, he prudently retired. Mr. KEAN, as soon as this storm had abated in some degree, came forward with Miss SMITHSON, whose ap pearance, as Margaret, was highly interesting, and having bowed to the audience, he entreated a hearing for the Lady by the most expressive action —(Cheers and a few hisses). Another placard was shewn in the lower gallery, " Let every man have his deserts, and who will escape whipping ?" and on the opposite side of the house was produced another paper, " Kean and Acting, Clergy and Morality, and no Mock Mo• desty"—(Loud laughter). During the representation of the third act, a man in the back part of the pit rendered himself very offensive to those around him; a challenge to a pugilistic contest was given, and a " set to" took place between him and a strong supporter of Mr. Kearri The fight lasted for a few minutes, and eventually the cbuoxious individual was turned out— to 1 agst Rufus (taken) 9 to 1 agst Muleteer (taken) IS to 1 agst Bolero 15 to 1 apt Duke of York's c. 15 to 1 agst Webb (taken) £0 to 1 agst Spermaceti 2Q to I agst Canvas 6 to 1 agst Aline (taken) 8 to 1 agst Sorcery 1-0 to 1 apt Tontine (tak.) 11 to 1 agst Attica 25 to 1 apt Jenny t 5 to 1 apt Diana 25 to 1 art Nigel (taken) 30 to 1 agst Sister to Nectar 35 to 1 apt Mittintua 40 to 1 apt Cain 11 to 1 apt Pastime 12 to - 1 agst Waltz (taken) 14 to 1 apt First Fly (taken) 20 to 1 agst Z4leika VER. 9e to I apt Memnon (taken) 50 to 1 apt Muleteer 13} to 1 apt Cleveland (taken) 40 to 1 apt Mandane (taken) 15 to 1 apt Redgauntlet 40 to 1 agst R 0511110 1 ,4 22 to 1 apt Homer (taken) 40 to 1 apt Brigand 22 to 1 apt Cow Boy (taken) 40 to 1 apt Cymbellne 2$ to 1 apt His Grace 40 to 1 agst Daredevil, 25 to 1 apt Androgens 45 t 7 1 apt Ttinculo 26 to 1 apt Crowcatcker 50 to 1 apt Skipper (taken) RIDDLESSVORTHS to l agst Rufus (taken).

From the well known spi rit of.this young sportsman, and the depth of his purse, great things may be expected. . Mr. T. A. Smith, the noted bold rider, has bad a very had fall, in riding after the Duke of Rutland's hounds, in Leicestershire. An extraordinary instance of thorough blood and spirit in hounds was lately exhibited by the Anglesey pack. While pressing a hare very hard near clan-y-Don. on the north side of the Island, poor puu, in a fit of blindness or madness, threw herself headlong over a high precipice, and was instantly followed by fifteen couple of the hounds, which:fell headlong front a great height into the sea, and several must have been drowned, had they not been fortunately picked up by a boat belonging to a pilot at anchor in the Ray.— Those that had strength enough to land on a shelf of the pt ecipice, • were in still greater danger, and were only saved by the resolute courage of some of the sportsmen, who, at the risk of their lives, crawled dowit and brought them up one by one on their .houlders. The hare was found smashed to pieces between the cleft of a rock. —North Wales Gazelle. PIGEON SHOOTI NG. The great pigeon match for 500 sovereigns, between Major Smith and six picked men from Hampshire and Wiltshire, against Colonel Mountain and six chosen men, from ilertfordsh;re and Bedfordshire, was decided yesterday, at Hadley Common Ox fordshire, in shooting off a tie.

MATCH OVER THE SIX BRIDGrS. Wantley the pedestrian, undertook yesterday morning, for £0 sovereigns, to go along the six bridges in 35 minutes, which is kin time titan it his ever been done its. The task has been often at tempted lately, and-Wantley being a ten miles an hour runner, the distance can be ascertained to be about five miles. From the Sur rey side of Vauxhall Bridge the pedestrian went along Westmin ster Bridge, up the steps and along Water!oo, down Fleet street, and along Blackfriars, down the Surrey side and along Southwark Bridge, down Thames-street, and then along London Bridge: The match was performed in 34 minutes and f.. 0 seconds, but with muck difficulty. The steps up the bridges were the greatest task. TROTTING MATCH. Saturday, a wager Was decided in favout of Traveller, a remark ably fast-trotting horse, in Ashley-Park, near Hugden, the seat of Colonel Staples. It was to perform 36 nines in three hours, and a carriage of the lightest description was made for this match.
