This day, the KING came from Bushy to St. James's Palace, where his MAJESTY gave audience to the' Dutch Ambassador ; and at a quarter past three o'clock held a Privy Council, at which the RECORDER'S Report was laid before his MAJESTY in Council. Very important commercial intelligence is this day re ceived from the Colombian Republic. - General Bo t.t VAR., considering a free commerce to be the source of national wealth and prosperity, published the following decree : Art. I.—All Bolivian and foreign vessels shall have free liberty to discharge their cargoes at the port of La Mar, without the pay. went of duty for lading or unlading. 2. Captains or supercargoes, before they discharge their cargoes, are required to present a certified manifest, exhibiting his name, that of the vessel, the port whence cleared, and the tonnage of the vessel, together with an exhibit of the quantity and quality of the merchandise, and the marks of the bales containing in them. Such as are for transit must have their destination expressed. 3. The discharging of cargoes should be superintended by the police, that no pan of it be landed not comprehended in the manifest. 4. Cargoes shall be deposited in the stores of the Custom-house, after the proper comparison of them with the registers and manifests. The surveyor will valite the goods according to a general tariff, to have effect throughout the Republic from the Ist of 1830. 5. An excess of valuation, amounting to three per cent. shall pay double duties; but if greater, the penalty shall be confiscation. 6. At the importation and first sale of merchandise, the following duties shall be paid : 7. Cloths and fabrics of wool, linen, and silk, of every kind, mercery, chrystals, delft ware, watches, jewelery of silver, gold, and stones, shall pay five per cent. O. The prohibition of coarse woollens and cotton cloths is sus. pended. They shall pay ten per cent. as well as finer cloths. U. Horn, furniture, boots, shoes, ready-made clothes, hats, and household furniture, ten per cent. 10. Foreign spirits ten per cent. 11. Wines, five per cent. 12. The exportation of pins silver is again prohibited ; stamped silver shall pay 2 per cent. and common gold 1 per cent. 13. The importation of mules and horses, not to be again taken from the country, are free of duty. 14. Goods not sold may be reshipped without the payment of any d►.es, other than a meder real for stereage, upon each package after the first month they may have been deposited, until reshipped. Demerara Papers to the 4th May, are received this morning, the contents of which are of considerable importance. We cannot to-day enter into particu lars ; but we have to state generally for the comfort of all friends of humanity—that, by an order in Council, the condition of the slaves in that co lony has been greatly improved. The Order in Council is much of the same purport as that which we recently published from Trinidad ; and, if the con ditions of it are faithfully performed, there can be no doubt that the oppressive measures which have been hitherto praCtised .bY our colonists, and which are a foul blot on ow character, as an enlightened nation, mill be altogether done away with. We believe that we have suffered more in our repute for cruelty to wards slaves, from the ignorance, and the despotic incli nations of a common planter, or overseer raised from the dust, than from any actual intention of the better in formed master, or proprietor of a colonial estate, to in flict unjust and unmerciful . stripes upon a poor wretch whom he may happen to We •entirely in his power. The politician of the present moment has a field around him hint for speculation, which was, at no time, perhaps, more inviting to the indulgence of an hypothetical pro - penalty. •11 ho confine - 4s observation - at home, he has a new Kit: G, whose future volition. are all conjectural; and the people in consequence called upon to exert their volition lb the limited way allowed to them, the result of which must he conjectural.. _ • If he extend hia viewp amiss, Ibb.channei, he has still a more eittenOyeApace t io...conjecpro,opening to his view. l He thive perosivosonats of public affairs, in many impor-1 . w3' I • -. A' ~,,.~. I tant points, parallel to what existed just previous to the terrific scenes which involved the trettiptillity of all Europe. He sees the same question imprudently brought forward for decision, which, for the security of an exe cutive power, should always be kept undefined and in happy obscurity. When the primary principles of all Government—when the origin of all executive power in a State—is thrust forward for the decision of a people, an agitation which shakes the executive itself, whatever be its origin or character, cannot fail to be the result. State policy has been defined by Lord CitESTERYIELD, in a humourous essay, the Art of Wrappiny up'; and undoubtedly the security of all established tran quillity, frequently depends on this important art of well wrapping up the intentions and views of the executive. How truly extraordinary it is, that what might he deemed evident priori—and has been most dreadfully confirmed a posteriori—should be still ex cluded from the consideration of the executive power of that people, whose temperament, expevience has proved, the moat hazardous under political excitation. Such, however, has been the inexpedient conduct, appa rently, of the French Government; and the politician per ceives quite enough in the facts before him, to exercise his conjectural talent to the extreme, and to tremble at the conjectures he is compelled to form. We hope that yet the Government of France may re tract a little from the bold tone they have injudiciously assumed ; and, by temporiziag, get the rational portion of the people into better temper ; or, most assuredly, some, direful experiments will be the result. We apprehend that the real advocates for a Republican Government are not numerous in that country ; but the majo rity—we might almost say, indeed, the people ge nerally—are decidedly favourable to the maintenance of a state of Government, in which the people will enjoy a great share of influence. Now, we are apprehen sive that the present state of the French character, will not be consistent with the enjoyment of that influence, which would satisfy the moderate reformer; and is probably all he has conscientiously in view ;—and if ever the necessary line of executive power be crossed, most certainly, it will not be rc-crossed without fighting the passage back. These are conjectures which do not relate merely to France : for, on the verification, or contradiction, of these conjectures, most assuredly, will depend the in ternational tranquillity of Europe. There are Powers in Europe, awaiting the favourable contingencies wi.ich French party politics may assume, to form alliances and develops plans,—only kept in abeyance—Wo are fully convinced—by the able exertions of British influence ; and we think the present Administration has exerted, and managed, that influence with ability. But a new Ad ministration in France, unless of a molt judiciously artful character, will disorganize all such relations.— Under such circumstances, will the King of FRANCE. be able—or would he be wise—to relinquish plans for colonizing the African coast of the Mediterranean ? In short, we would ask one general question—will ho be able and would he be wise, to strive to counteract those in fluences and schemes for aggrandizement, the indulgence of which, perhaps, must bo contemplated as the only means of securing his existence as a King? The French, or French revolutionary war—as it is sometimes termed in British history—was condemned by many sound and virtuous politicians as unnecessary and impolitic on our part ; but then, the relative situ ation of this country to the rest of Europe, was far different to that which now exists ; and we rather appre hend, if the unfavourable conjectures which we have ha sarded on the state of French politics be confirmed, a war between this country and other nations would soon prove inevitable. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Consols have opened at the same price they left o; yesterday, 934 buyers for the account, with little doing, and if an express from Paris does not arrive in the course of the morning, an idle day in the funds may be ex pected. We have nothing to communicate in regard to the fo reign market prices as per yesterday. Consols which left off yesterday at 92i to 93 for the Account, opened at 93 to ; and at present the market remains steady, with little doing. LIVERPOOL, JULY I.—The Cotton Market continues very steady, with plenty of cotton offering. The sales yesterday were 1,000 bags ; to-day 2,000 bags. Extract of a letter from Port Au Prince, 29th April : — 4 ' The negociations lately entered into by Baron Pishau and the government, have terminated unfavoura bly, and he determined on leaving in the Pomone cor vette for Brest, which sailed on the 22d. A pass was requested in the corvette for an Haytian envoy, which the Baron refused. In consequence of this, Mr. Macavy was despatched by the brig Jeune for Havre, for which place she sailed on the 27th. Mr. Hendrett, who had taken his passage in-the latter vessel, gave up his birth to Mr. Macavy, and proceeded via United States, where he will endeavour to form preliminaries to a commercial treaty between America and this country. Fretn the United States, Mr. H. will proceed to Europe on some financial arrangements for the government. Preparations in the Eastern part of the Republic are carried on with great activity for the purpose of repelling an attack from Spain ; about 5,000 troops have proceeded to the East ward." CITY, HALP-PAST ONE. To the present hour we do not bear of any express from Paris, consequently there cannot be any material alteration in the prices of the French funds, or any im portant information from the African expedition. ThS Consol Market remains very firm, at 93i j for the account. This is owing to the little opposition which Ministers experienced in the House last night in the passing of the various votes of credit. We have neither reports or political news to communicate. The Foreign Market is void of interest, little or no • thing doing. In Shares not a feature worth noticing. The Duke of Wellington has, it is said, been solicited to start one of his sons for the county of Hants, GI which bis Grace is the Lord Lieutenant. From what occurred the other night in the House ;Lords, It is thought, that should the noble Prentiii . , l uau his own station, it win be, at all events to hendover the " tainellephant" to another • -• ~,~ ... COURT IN TRLIIIGENCR. The Duke of Leeds had an audience of the King yes terday, at his residence in Bushy Park. Prince Leopold paid a visit to their Majesties on Thurs day. The Duchess of Kent visited the King and Queen on Sunday, at their residence at Bushy Park. The former residence of their Majesties in the King's Palace, St. James's, was thronged yesterday and on Thurs day, by numbers of the nobility and gentry, who went to leave their names for the King and Queen. The state coffin, for the remains of his Majesty, is to be covered with crimson velvet. It is larger than any that are usually made, measuring across the shoulders 3 feet 11 inch. The ornaments, which have beeri ordered by the Lord Chamberlain, are making by Mr. Ricketts, of Castle-court, Strand, chaser and engraver to the King. They consist of eight massive scroll frames, chased, bur nished, and gilt in the best manner ; eight handles, of similar pattern to those made for the cofiin of his Majesty George the Third ; 60 corner ornaments, with engraved palm branches, royal crown, and the letters G. IV. K.— The coffin will be studded with between 9,000 and 10,000 highly burnished and gilt nails. The - plate on which the deposit= will be engraved is of a size proportional to that of the coffin : it is 19 inches and a half in lerigth, 17 inches and a half in width at the top, and 14 inches and a quarter at the bottom. The French Ambassador had a long conference with the Earl of Aberdeen yesterday at the office of the Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs. Mr. Planta attended yesterday at the Treasury, and transacted official business for the first time since his re covery front his indisposition. The Marquis of Lansdowne and the Duke of Wel lington had an interview yesterday at the Treasury ! la there a new coalition on foot, and has his Grace at length discovered that he cannot conduct the affairs of the country with the crazy materials of which his administration is now composed? A few days will, in all probability, show; and in the meantime we shall merely observe that a coalition is not improbable.—Advertiser. The report that Mr. Knight has been named his Ma jesty's Solicitor-General, is ill-founded ; but it is rumoured that the reward of being named his Attorney-General awaits n certain Learned Gentleman, whose merits as a senator are best appreciated by his efforts to prevent the adoption of free principles in the silk trade, and to pio mote the Lord Chancellor's measure of Equity Reform. Fiyhtiny Attie (as in " Paul Clifford" lie is called) seeks allies in strange quarters, and having borrowed a Scarlet from " Robin Hocti," seems now likely to secure also a Little Jolot.—Cleronicle. One of our contemporaries has given au account, no doubt extremely authentic, of the reception given by his present Majesty to the Members of the Administration. We believe we may state from a source equally entitled to credit, that when the Chancellor of the Exchequer ap proached the King, his Majesty, shading his eyes, accord ing to his habit, with his band, said, in a style sufficiently brusque, " Well, Sir, who are you-011?-1 don't know you—who are you ?—lbid." Nothing will more surely tend to fix the new Monarch and his consort in the hearts and affections of the people than not to disregard economy in the scale of their per sonal expense ;—autl this, as far as we have heard, is likely to be the case. There are those, however, who, while they profess economy to the public, will readily whisper other counsel in the ear of Majesty. It is through such counsel that Kings too often incur an odium which more properly belongs to the double-faced flatterer, who is often all the while enriching . Itis own coffers from those of his mater, and who, not unfrequently, will be found to repudiate in public the advice which he has pri vately instilled.—Heruld. Much curio , ity exists as to his late Majesty's disposi tion of his private property ; an amiable Duchess is said to have expressed herself in no very measured terms on the " rapacity" which she is said to have observed on the port of another titled female. It was currently reported yesterday, in well-informed circles, that the late King has left funds to pay his brother, the late Duke of York's, debts in full. His Majesty's private wealth has been estimated at six hun dred thousand pounds. Some of the fashionable caterers to modern dandyism, have introduced a new article for dress, under the deno mination of " calf's head," though it seems a superfluous addition to the toute ensemble of a fop. WINDSOR, FRID•Y EvENEttn.—This morning one of the gentlemen employed by the Lord Chamberlain's department in taking drawings of the parts of the Castle and St. George's Chapel, which are covered with black drapery, arrived in town, and was occupied for an hour in his work. The covered way from the entrance of St. George's Chapel to the grand entrance into the state apart ments of the upper ward is this day nearly roofed in, and the aisles of the chapel are railed off, _he flooring laid on, and the seats erected on the side allotted to spectators. The alteration of the day of the funeral from Monday to Thursday was occasioned by the difficulty of assuring the completion of the arrangements at an earlier period. The requisition to the Mayor to convene a meeting of the inhabitants of Windsor, to testify their condo lence with his Majesty upon the demise of the late King, and their congratulation at the new accession, will be complied with immediately after the funeral. —The people here have got a notion, that his Majesty will attend as chief mourner at his royal brother's fu neral ; but it has been mentioned by one of the attend, ants, who came here from Bushy Park, that the King has been dissuaded from risking the emotion which would be the concomitant of such an exertion. The royal mausoleum has not yet been opened. It was built by George the Third, under Cardinal Wolsey's nagni fieent tomb-house, which reverted to the crown upon the disgrace of that munificent minister. The present tenants of this gloomy mansion are George the Third and his Queen, the Princess Charlotte and Amelia, and the Dukes of Kent and York, togeth er w ith th e in fant Princes Octavius and Alfred. There are stone stands for twelve coffins in the centre of the tomb which are reserved for so vereigns. The coffins of the other members of the Royal Family are deposited on shelves at each side. The entrances is in the choir of St. George's Chapel, from which a eubterraneous passage leads to the tomb. The first coffins of the Royal founder's family (that of his daughter Princess Amelia) was deposited here on the 4th of November, 1810 ; the last, that of the Duke of York, on the 20th of January, 1827. Hand-bills have been circulated yesterday and this day, announcing that a new candidate will emit to represent this borough at the general election: the name of the individual is not mentioned in this bill, but rumour proclaims two new can didates, Colonels Westenra (Lord Rossmore's son) and Vyse. It is probable, however, that this bill had been issued by some electioneering speculator to feel the pulse of the town. Sir R. Vyvyan is secure of the Coeds. r • it tenet, 'which usually returns one mom*, andifr.

(From the Spirit of Literature.) The following letter, without a date, directed " To Mrs. Robinson, Ship Inn, Brighton," delivered appa rently by hand to that lady, was, two or three years ago, !sold seen autograph sale at Southgate's auction rooms : " Dear Mrs. Robinson r —l have received your letter, and it really quite overcomes me; the scene of distress you so petite. tially paint. I will certainly wait upon you, but lam afraid it will be late before I can come to the Ship, as I have company with me. Should it be within the compass of my means to rescue you from the abyss you apprehend that is before you, and for which you mention Mr. Brent, I need not say that the temptation of gratifying others, and at the same time, and by the same means, making oneself happy, is too alluring to be neglected a single moment. However, you must allow me to be thus ex plicit and candid, that it must in a great measure depend upon the extent of what will be necessary to be done for your service, and how far my funds may be adequate, as well as my powets equal to allow that object. In the mean time, only rest assured of my good wishes and good intentions. I am, dear Mrs. Robinson, very sincerely yours, GEOkGI P.' Mrs. Robinson, as the reader is doubtless aware, was the object of his late Majesty's first youthful attachment. The above letor would seem, from the coldness of its expressions, to have been written after that attachment had ceased, and if an, the Prince must have been then in the 21st or 22d year of his age. The lste Pre sident Jefferson used to affirm, that in his youth, the Prince, wi h good natural abilities, was extremely ignorant of all awful know. ledge." The excessively awkward and untrammatical style of this letter furnishes strong evidence of the truth of this statement. • • • • • • George IV. must, no doubt, have often heard, from his early Whig associates, that every person who sets foot on British ground becomes free ; and that it matters not, as regards the point ef freedom, whether a man is white, black, brown, olive, or yel htte. But though such is undoubtedly the theory of the British constitution, it was not so expounded in practice by our late Sove reign. His Majesty had all the antipathy of a Virginia nigger driver to blacks, and would not even admit persons slightly tinged with lade-ink into his royal presence. A certain naval peer, Lord T —n, incurred irretrievable disgrace by an attempt to smuggle a wealthy half-breed from Calcutta, of the name of 11--i th. ough the formalities of presentation ; and Cramer, the musici an, nearly lost his situation of leader of the royal band by a similar piece of imprudence. The story, as regards Omer, runs thus : —The fiddling generalissimo was bent on having a black man to beat the kettle-drum; but, aware of his Majesty's antipathy to the sable tribe, he was in despair of being ever able to accomplish his wishes, when he met by chance with a nsrive Englishtnan of so dark a hue that at a short distance he might easily be mistaken for an importa don from the coast of Guinea. Cramer had the man forthwith in stalled in the office of kettle-drummer ; now came the trying scene of his Introduction to the royal presence. On the King's entering the music-room, he started, and seemed much displeased ; but after approaching a little nearer, and applying a glass to his eye, he called Cramer to him—" I see, Sir," said the King, "you wish to as me to a black drummer by degrees." %Viten the late Lord Erskine was Attomey-General to the Prints of Wales, he was retained by Thomas Paine to defend hint on his trial for publishing the second part of his Righle of Marc; but it was soon intimated to hint, by high authority, that such advocacy was considered to be incompatible with his official situation ; ant the l'rince himself, in the most friendly manner, acquainted him that it was highly displeasing to the King, and that he ought to en. deavour to explain his conduct. This Mr. Erskine immediately did, in a letter to his Majesty himself; in which, after expressing his sincere attachment to his person, and to that constitution which was attacked in the work to be defended, he took the liberty to claim, as an invaluable part of that very constitution, the unquestion able right of the subject to make his defence by any counsel of his 05:11 free choice, if not previously retained, or engaged •by office front the crown ; and that there was no other way of deciding whether that was or was not consistent with his situation as actor ney.general to the Prince, than by referring according to custom, the question to the bar, which he was perfectly willing and even de. sirous to do. 1 n a few days afterwards, Mr. Erskine received, through the late Admiral Paine, a most gracious message from the Prince, expressing his deep regret in feeling himself obliged to accept slr. Erskine'. resignation, which was accordingly sent. A few years afterwards, however, His Royal Highness sent for Mr. Erskine to Cerlton.house, whilst be was still in bed under a severe illness, and, taking him most graciously by the hand, said to him, that though he was not at all qualified to judge of retainers, nor to appreciate the correctness or incorrectness of his conduct in the in. stance that had separated them, yet that, being convinced he had acted front the purest motives, he wished most publicly to manifest that opinion, and therefote directed bins to go immediately to So. mersct.house, and to bring with him, for his execution, the patent of Chancellor to his Royal Highness, which he said he had always designed for Mr. Erskine. HIS PRESENT MAJESTY. PROCLAMATION OF THE KING IN :11E TOWER AND TOWER HAMLELS. This ceremony took place yesterday, pursuant to an order of the Privy Council, conformably to former precedents. Sir Francis H. Doyle,; the Deputy Lieutenant of the Tower, attended at the Go. vernor's house at ten o'clock, where he was received by Major El. rington, the resident Governor, and Thomas B. Ricketts, Esq. th e Steward of the Courts of the Tower. At 1 l o'clock a circle was formed on the Parade by the officers of the Tower, with the magis trates of the Tower liberty, and deputy-lieutenants of the Tower Hamlets, who assembled on the occasion, and silence being coin. mended by sound of trumpet, the proclamation was read by .1. W. Lush, Esq. the ('ltlef Bailiff, which was followed by three hureas, and a flourish of drums and Trumpets, the guns round the batteries firing a royal salute ; a procession was then formed in the following manner t The High Constable, and about 20 petit Constablas on Horseback. The Beadles and Peace Of! CCTS The Drum-hlajor, with the Kettle Drum and eight Drummers of the Royal !leasehold. The Sajeant-Trumpeter and ten Trumreters of the King's Household. The Chief Bailiff, in an open carriage. Thirty Wardens of the Tower, with the Yeoman Porter ant Gentleman Gaoler at their head, two and two. The Deputy-Lieutenant, Fort. Major, and Steward of Court of Record, &c. in a Carriage. The Deputy-Steward and Chaplain, in a Carriage. The Magistrates and Daputy-Lieutenants of the Tinter Hamlets, in Carriages. The procession was harked by several constables mounted on horseback, and about 200 policemen. Alta feuding the proclamation a second time on Tower-hill, the procession proceeded to 'Whitechapel.bars, Spitalfici a lr.ru ar k et . Shadwell-market, and Retell/re-cross, where it was also read. Con. siderable applause front the populace followed on each occasion. Owing to the excellent arrangements made by the local authorities and the superintendents of the new pollee, the procession war con ducted with great regularity; and we believe no accidents occurred, although the streets were much crowded by spectators. PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE. At a Special Court of Guardians, held last night, Mr. Little contracted to supply the Governor and Guardians of the Poor with 50 tons of best Newport Coal, at 21s. 7d. per ton, and to take oakum in exhange at the rate of 225. per cwt.—Plymouth Journal. M. Henry Mayo, farmer at Lowell, near Dorchester, was killed by the lightning on Sunday morning in his bed-room ; the electric fluid passed down the chimney. and under the bed (by the side of which lie was stand ing), and through the floor into the lower part of the house. He was a young man, about 23 years of age. Yesterday, Mr. D. Mahony was restrained, by an order of his Majesty's Court of Exchequer, from acting as Accountant General of that Court until further orders. —Freemen's Journal of Wednesday. Sir Thomas Lethbridge has published an address to the freeholders of Somersetshire, in which he states his intention of retiring from public life, in consequence of indisposition. Mr. E. A. Sanford has since offered him self as one of the representatives of that county. Mr. Fellowes has declined offering himself again for 1 the county of Huntingdon, and it is rumoured that Mr. Fellowes, jun. n ill be proposed in the room of his father.
