" Coker was engaged in palaver with the King and Chiefs of the Shebro Settlements—he left them, however, without being able to adjust his negocia tions relative to the land on which they propose making a permanent settlement. It is situated on the Uanna River; the country is mountainous and fertile, and there is little question that their labours will be crowned with success. The man Hizzel, on whose land they were temporarily located, has proved a designing and mercenary wretch, and left no means untried to throw every impediment in the way of the advancement of our colonial interest."

Letters were yesterday received from Buenos Ayres, dated November 6. Great agitation was created by the arrival of the French squadron at Monte Video. It was reported the expedition was connected with the late plot to put a French Prince on the 'Throne of South America. The squadron consisted of a man of war and a frigate; and it was rumoured, that several smaller vessels were daily looked for. No accounts had been received respecting the success or failure of the squadron under Lord COCHRANE. Letters received this day from St. Thomas's, dated December 30, state that an Armistice has taken place between BOLIVAR and NIORILLO. A rumour is current in the commercial circles, that a negociation is either on foot, or to be shortly com menced, for the cession of the important settlement of Sincapore, established by Sir THOMAS RAFFLES, in the Indian Archipelago, to the Dutch Government. We would, if we could, hope that this rumour is altogether unfounded. It is a station of the greatest importance for the protection of British com merce in the Indian Archipelago; and, if Minis ters shall make this sacrifice, they will exhibit the same ignorance and inattention to the interests of the country that was strewn by them in the Treaty by which they restored the Dutch possessions in that quarter. A reason could, indeed, be seen at that time for their conduct: they had in prospect a family alliance with the Dutch Monarchy. But what motive, in the name of common sense, can they now have for crippling any one of the branches of our commerce, when every consideration of policy should dictate a quite opposite conduct? Lord Casn.enzeon's motion for making a provi sion for the QUEEN, will to-morrow occasion another long debate in the Commons. The issue, however, will be whatever Ministers may previously deter mine, for the strength of parties was tried on Friday night, and the House of Commons, which always expresses the sense of the country, has decided that Ministers have acted with wisdom and prudence, whatever other sentiments their constituents may choose to express in " mob" and "farce" County Meetings! It is true that, beyond contradiction, in the minority were found the representatives of the most ancient and wealthiest families in the king dom, distinguished equally by their titles, their rank, and independence ; but it is equally true that the greater number of noses were found on the other side. It was believed by our forefathers that they had framed a Constitution for posterity that provided against the insidious operations of every species of corruption so effectually, that the real sense of the Country, as expressed by the voice of the People in legal Public Meetings, would command the com pliance of Ministers; but now-a-days, the fate of any Motion may be anticipated, even before it is taken into consideration. The public voice is, however, still more potent than Ministers could wish. It has compelled Ministers to retreat and take a new posi tion ; they have abandoned the original plan of the campaign, and placed themselves on the defensive. The real state of the case seems to be, that they have received a coatrouling and corrective rebuke—but which has not shaken the stability of their places. They have then weathered one dangerous point; but another danger awaits them, not yet fully de veloped—'the line of policy which they shall adopt during the present year in the affairs of Europe.— It is impassible, we think, that the actual state of Europe should not be full of gigantic results. Ob jects of reason, like those of mere sense, sometimes fail to be distinctly seen, from their too great proxi- Imity. But let any person sketch the actual aspect of Europe, contemplate it for a moment, compare it with his historical recollections, and then ask himself whether nations have ever appeared possessed and animated with such a commoving spirit in the pur suit of any object, whether rational or chimerical, without the birth of some great and permanent charge in the condition of men? The present epoch is really more portentous thin the opening of the French Re volution, or even of the Reformation. In the in.tanaa :of the first•mertioned event. the spirit of change may be said to have been local—and though Migions zeal is a stronger Stimulant than that of political and intellitctual freedom, yet the itefiii-rnatidn chiefly a contest between the ledira men in go vernment, theology, and literature, whose triumph or defeat decided the adherence and faith of the attendant mass of their followers. But now the whole of the body politic is agitated and active, from the heart to the extremities, through a large portion of Europe. The evident disposition of the Allied Sovereigns is to check this great movement— and the first step in the execution of this, ds we think, insensate and impracticable design, will be, the intrusion of Austrian bayonets into the territory of Naples. —Should that take place, this country cannot remain an idle spectator—and, in its pre sent temper and condition, Ministers themselves are well aware of the effect which would be produced by any proposition for increasing the public burthens— even by an addition to the public debt, for such a purpose. We must, therefore, infer, unless we were to believe them mad, that they are labouring for the preservation of the peace of Europe much more strenuously than even their declarations would seem to express; for this is their last stake; and should they fail, it is impossible to foresee what may be the result—we do not say to themselves, for that is a mere matter of moonshine, but—to the British Em pire. Yesterday the Duchess of CLARENCE took an airing in her carriage. We are extremely happy to say, that her Royal Highness is perfectly restored to health. Lord and Lady CASTLEREAGH had a party to din ner on Sunday. Saturday, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER left Frog more for Bagshot Park. A singular circumstance occurred at the late Levee. A Gentleman of respectable appearance being pre sented to the KING, knelt down, and commenced a speech to his MAJESTY, complaining of the manner in which some Petition he had presented had been received. His MAJESTY waved his hand for the Gentleman to pass on, but he continued kneeling and speaking. On this Lord LAKE, assisted by others, seized the Gentleman by the shoulders, and removed him from the Royal presence by force. Mr. MASH, one of his MAJzsTY's Gentlemen Ushers, was in attendance in the House of Commons during the whole of the debate on Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON'S motion on Friday evening. After the division, Lord CASTLEREAGH sent a note by him to the KING, communicating the result. The following Addresses are w be presented to her MAJESTY, to-morrow, at one o'clock, by— Lord Mu.row M.P. Lord Arsox, Lord Joxx Russal.a, M.P. Sir Witxuas Ilowurr, M.P. Bart. M.P. Hon. H. G.

The Duchess of NORTHUMBERLAND has presented to the Master of the Ceremonies of Newcastle, a most splendid medallion and gold chain, to be worn by him in future as the insignia of his office. Nearly eleven hundred persons, many of them of the first rank and title, were present at the Master of the Ceremonies Ball, last week, at Bath. A splendid repast was given on Saturday week, by Lord OXFORD, on the summit of Coxal Camp, where CARACTACUS held his meetings, on account of the coming of agt of his son, Lord HARLEY. Lord HARLEY was seated under a canopy of evergreen. All the surrounding summits had bonfires ; the vil lages and farms round were illuminated ; and at the mansion, in the vicinity of Brampton Brian, several oxen were given to the poor. Miss STEPHENS is prevented from appearing at Covent-Garden Theatre, by the death of her vene rable mother. ' Mr. WALLAex appeared at Drury Lane Theatre, last night, in the arduous character of Richard the Third, and with good effect. Mr. TERRY is dramatising the romance of Kenil worth, for Covent-Garden Theatre. Two Acts are already finished. Mr. MACREADY leaves town in a day or two for Bristol, where he is to perform two of his original characters. We understand that Mr. VANDENIIOFF, of Covent- Garden Theatre, has had permission from the Ma nager to absent himself during the run of the new Tragedy of Mirandola, and is now performing at Salisbury, his native City, with great success. ENGLISH OPERA-House.—The Soirt , es Arnusantes continue to receive the unanimous approbation of numerous and genteel audiences. Last night an alter ation in the performances took place, which was re ceived with much applause. I'EA nm AN, of the English Opera House, is engaged at the Dublin Theatre as the principal singer, until the former commences its short but active season. Mr. JOHN CBANcit, the artist and painter of the unique picture of the death of '• Chatterton," now in the possession of Sir JAMES WINTER LAKE, Bart., died at Bath last week, in the 70th year of his age. Yesterday beinF.the Anniversary of his MAJEsTy's Accession to the throne, the morning was ushered in by the ringing of bells, and display of flags on the different steeples of the parish churches. Tire lt'yal Standard was hoisted at the Tower, and the ships on the River Thames displayed the colours of their dif ferent nations. At one o'clock the Park and Tower guns were fired. The In•pensioners of Greenwich and Chelsea were entertained at dinner with boiled pork and pudding, after which each man received two quarts of ale to drink the King's health. 1 p a rched a power tor i es !"--i , You drat the King of an to reduce F t ie busy runioun • s weted their F t 72 1 A, fell to 7 a t, there were pl f the Stock Esc utility of busk ifs open this toren 'onsols commen .-2 1 / 4 :—the seller 'cc, are now bu The Paris Pape g, but, we net o g, in the remot o ngoing rumou; . e s possessing tl in the Fte It is stated in on of the Atm lad Ravenna.
