itish t 0 preserve the least credit with his readers for dtle itl 4 .ltiOn to the passing history of his time!. N o . 25, class A. of the Documents laid, before Par- . li a ment on the subject of the negotiations respecting Spain, is a dispatch from Mr. CANNING to Sir CBARLEI STUART, in which he thus speaks of the me morable Speech of the King of FRANCE at the opening of the Chambers: It is construed as implying that the free institu tions of the Spanish people can only be legitimately h e ld from the spontaneous gift of the Sovereign, first r estored to his absolute power, and then divesting himself of such portion cf that power as he may think proper to part with. 7je ,cpaai.ib nation could nOl be ex pected to subscribe to this principle ; NOR COULD ANY BRITISH STATESMAN UPUOLD OR DEELND IT." 44 It is indeed," adds Mr. CANNING, "a pri!iciple wh di strikes at the ioot of the British constitution." The British Government, he goes on to say, " does not presume to question the freedom and happiness which France enjoys under institutions emanating from the will of the Sovereign, and described as or.- frnm the Throne. But could not count e r nnce troyea a pretension on the part of France to make her exam ple a rule for other nations ; and still less could it admit a peculiar right in France to force that ex.a m pie s pecifically upon Spain, in virtue of the consan- ' pinky of the reigning Dynasties of the two king doms. This latter reason would, on the contrary, suggest recollections and considerations which must ebriouQy makc it impossible for Gicnt Britain to be • theadocate of pretensions founded upon it." Such were the sentiments which Sir CH A RLES STU ART was instructed to convey to the French Mini,try, and which, as appears from 29 of the Docun.ents, he did actually cur muncate to M. CU ATEA °BMA ND. M. SAN MiouF.l. may have had some purpose of policy to serve by mixing up the representations of the two Governments; but nothing but the blindness of party rage can have led the Chronicle to adopt and, repeat a statement so utterly at variJuce with what cli the world knows to be the real state of the fact. Count MeNsrart had an audience of his NIAJESTY yesterday. Yesterday the Persian Minister transacted business with NII. CANNING, at the Foreign Office. The Earl of I3RIDGWATEB, we are sorry to hear, lies dangerously ill at his house in Grosvenor-square. Lord BEXLEY gave a grand di:ater yesterday to a large party of friends. Yesterday, according to annual custom (on the 29th of May), all the In-pensioners at Chelsea College appeared in their new clothing, and at one o'clock they were all mustered in the great square, where they were reviewed, and fired a _On de joie is honour of the day—all had boughs of oak in their hats.— They were afterwards regaled with bread and cheese in the Great flail, and each of them was supplied with half a gallon of strong ale. The first toast from the Officer who commanded was—" The Memory of. the Royal Founder," which was drank in solerim silence. " the King and Royal Family" were after wards drank, and a prayer for the King was read by the Chaplain. Tuesday se'nnight, in consequence of a Dispensa iibm from the Grand Lodge of Scotland, a Mason Lodge was formed in the Burgh of New Galloway, under the name of the St. John Lodge. Respectable Deputations of Brethren, at the formation of this Lodge, arrived from their respeCtive Lodges, viz.— from St. Cuthbert's, Wigton, Kirkpatrick, Durham, Thornhill, C: eels' idge, &c. . After the business of the day was concluded, the Blethren, dressed in their in signia, and accompanied with music, marched in grand proce , ,ion tit: ough the streets of New Gal loway, and about five o'clock they all at down to a sumptuous dinner in Mr. WILSON'S Inn (the Kenmore Arms), when the evening was spent with that soci ality and brotherly love which characterise the Meet ings of the Craft. The necessary accompaniments and decorations of the mach-admired equestrian statue of his late Ma jesty, GEORGE the Did. which was put up last year, in Pembroke•pl:tce, Liverpool, arc now completed, and the whsle election will be opened immediately to public inspection. A foundation of graduated masonry forms the base of the pedestal, and the whole is surrounded by a very handsome non railing, with a brilliant gas-lamp at each of the corners. Every thing is finished except the inscriptions, on which the engraver is now at work. When the entire erection is fairly viewed, we doubt not that the objections which have been so often urged against the pedestal of this fine statue will disappeat.

SIR ROBERT, IVII,SuAf. • • FROM A.. CORRESPONDiNT: Yout Readers will hare seen that Sir ROBIIRT sox, K.T.M. dpc . R;c. has arrived in Spain, and en rolled himself 4. as a private grenadier of the Vigo battalion of disposable Militia." As Spain has always been the scene of romance and adventure, it is, doubt less, with great propriety that this second performer of the part of Don Quixotic has tepairea thither with his Sancho Panza, to fight windmills, and to liberate that pure and spotless damsel, the Spanish constiiii lion, which has been so cruelly opposed and bound down by its unnatural enerbies—a large majority of the nation. The reception which he has experienced appears to have been every way worthy of so illustrious an en terprise. " Ah, my friends," for it is thus the•gallant Knight writes home, 4 , 1 could give an account of the honours that have been paid me, vrhich were all in deed of royal mounting, but who can impart the look, the tone,theheort-linking grasp of welcoming friends?' Aye, sNI:o, indeed? As he who could painethese ho nours be,t, since lie has felt them most, thus gives up the task in despair of doing it justice, it would be p; esumption in another to attempt to supply the sketch which is wanting. I must take the liberty, however, of pointing out to general admiration one or two of the more remark able features in this fist chapter of our modern Quixotte's adventures. Behold him, then, seated aloft under a canopy of Spanish, Portuguese, and English flags. But " a private grenadier in the Vigo militia" —nothing wore than a simple member of the British Parliament—the representative of a respectable bo rough called Southwark—and yet you behold him canopied like a King! " All, indeed, is royal mount ing !" There he proudly sits, (it "'vas a day of pride,") with all his orders on—orders which, as he truly and modestly observed, did not do so much ho nour to him as to the Sovereigns from whom he had deigned to accept them ! ‘Vaving his hand, he grabe 'fully arose; the charmed multitude bent forward with greedy ear to catch the words which fell from his lips. He spoke to them in Spanish hearts were melted at this singular mark of respect for the heroic Spanish nation. Not only to Come and fight for them, but to learn their language before he came over! Excellent Gentleman ! Most learned Grenadier! " Although a Member of the British Parliament," says he, " I have left my duties to fight in so noble a cause." Left the country of his birth, thenatalesolutn, which with most patriots is the paramount tie, the King, to whom he has sworn allegiance, and his constituents, whose interests he has pledged himself constantly to, support. " All this I hive done," says he, 4 , 1 , to fight for the Spanish Constitution, whose ' , claims to my, support so justly supersede every obligation I owe to my King, my country, and my constituents." And with these words he seized his grenadier's long pole (for such, it seems, is the manner in which the war riors of Vi,go are armed), and striking it bravely on the ground, added this heart-cheering assurance " - With such aid, Spain may defy and mock to scorn not only the Bourbons, but the whole confedesate band of despots Ur The viva: which followed this patribtic speech sur pass all description. "I never saw," says Sir ROBERT, .‘ any recruits, even volunteers, with such smiling i (in what sort, Hal?) countenances, when the vivax were giving." So satisfied were the people of Vigo that everything would be accomplished as the Noble Stranger foretold, that we behold him next, elevated in a triumphal car, and a band of young ladies, robed in white, crowning him with laurel ! It has been the usual etiquette, hitherto, not to confer the laurel till the victory is won—but here, with obviou's propriety, the laurel comes first, "come what may" afterwards. GOD giant that no adverse chance may happen to turn the well earned wreath of our brave countryman into cypress! Long may the Borough of Southwark have so honoured, so brave, so rational, so prudent, so efficient a Representative! Wednesday morning was discovered, in a water butt, in the house of Mr. James Robertson, of Old North-street, Red Lion-square, a large snake three feet in length, of the common kind, which was seen swimming in the water with its head partly out ; on its being touched, it made a disagreeable hissing noise until it was killed. 'What makes this occurrence ' very extraordinary is, the manner in which thesnake found its way into the water-butt, which cannot be accounted for, unless it came through-the pipe that conveys the water from the New River, in which case it mu,t have come a distance of nearly two miles out of its own natural element. In other respeCts the water-butt is so situated (being surrounded on all sides by a wall nearly ten feet high), that all; idea of the snake gaining access from any other quarter is totally precluded. HOItRID CRUELTY.—An act of most atrocious bar barity was recently committed at 'Yardley Hastings, a village in Northamptonshire.' A poor man, re siding there, procures a livelihood by tarrying par cels to and from Northampton, in which occupation. he employs six donkies. Three of them were asnsual turned out at night into the church-yard, where they were found in the morning in the most dreadful agony. A monster had cut tan the tongues of all of them, and inflicted several stabs in the sides of two! The inhuman wretch has, we are happy to say, been discovered and apprehended. When taken he was nearly covered with blood, and the knife with which he perpetrated this act of unparalleled atrocity was found upon his person. The moister had previously been in the habit of feeding the poor animals; , nor does he assign any :naive for bu conduct. ~. 16. ;14, • - --~ .

DESTRUCTION OF PIRATES. KINGSTON, A NUL 14.—His Nl..'ty's cutter G R EC I AN , Lieut. C•wurv, came to anchor a t P ort Royal late ou Friday afternoon, from the coast of Cuba, where she fell in with rnd destroyed, after a desperate conflict, filar piratical vessels. The following are the particulars we have obtailqd of this gallant engagement : —" On the 1 20th of March, at 9, 50, A. at. observed a schboner close in shore, at the entrance of th e river St. John's, BAy of l'hillipina, island of Cuba, at which we made all sail in ehace; and at one r. as. beim , about two miles from her, site hoisted a red &g forward, and a white flag, having the bait of a death's head, with marrow bones, at the main, and instantly com menced a heavy fire on us from two long 18 and 13-pounders, an pivots, and six short :li:it-pounders, all brought over on one side, with a vast number of niuske try. At 1,5, r. rt. the Game /AN commented action with round and grape shot ; at 1, 55, the GnEarAte took the ground in two fathoms water, about half mus. ket shot from the pirate at which moment the latter blew up with a tremendous explosion. The GRECIAN'S boat at this time being manned, for the purpose of boarding, instantly put oft, time pirates taking to their boats to the shore, which was distant half a cable's length, and had but a few moments to form, when our boats reached the spot. A desperate conflict here took place for a short time, when the pirates flew in all direc tions, having about thirty killed and wounded. Five prisoners Were taken, two of whom have since died of their wounds.— From the information of the prisoners on board, it appears that the schooner's name was La Gate, of 90 tons, commanded by a person named Joseph Sabina, a notorious pirate, with a comple ment of 90 men; . she also had a felucca, with four carriage-guns and twenty-seven stand of arms, and two other boats, with a mounted swivel in each, and 24 stand of musketry, all of which were in action against us. The schooner had on board a valua ble cargo of plunder, all of which was by the explosion destroyed, with the exception of five bales of indigo. This vessel had been for some time engaged in this work of death and plunder, her crew having shared, for the last cruixe,Sooo dollars a man. She was afforded every assistance from the shore (as there were about 30 hones found seady equipped to favour their escape). The loss of the Gaits** is comparatively small, having only two men wounded; but she was much damaged in her sails and rigging, and had several shot in her mast and bowsprit." THEJEAN BART.—(From the Moniteur tf Wednesday.) RETRACT MOIL A REPORT 0? BARON astexaap DI LA TA ECE, " On board the vessel Jean Bart, at anchor in the road off Fort Royal (Martinique), March 12, 1223 . I have the honour to inform your Execllenisy of the aftival at Martinique, on the llth of March, at nine o'clock, r.w. of the ship Jean Bart, after a passage of thirty-four days, without having experienced any untoward circumstance; and without having any of the crew ao ill as to require to be sent to the hospital. id On the 20th of February, I came in sight of the Island of &int Mary, one of the Azores. I continued my course to the ; west of these Islands, when, on the 22d, a t half-past two In the ' morning, I was informed that there was a ship very near, which appeared as if it were watching us. I immediately came on deck, and, with the aid a my night glass, I Arcady thought it was a Corsair, when a ball fell close to the vessel. I had force enough to pulverise the aggressor, but, wishing to avoid all mistake, and toput this madman entirely In the wrong, I only.raised a lantern at this poop, and manoeuvred so as to observe him at day-light. At six o'clock it was light enough to distinguish the Cgs. I hoisted those of the Jean Bart, and made press of sail. At three quarters past six I saluted him with blank cartridge, fired from the side opposite to his vesseL In a moment the vessel hoisted a large Spanish flag. which she only kept up a short time, and having fired a shot at us, she made all possible sail to avoid me. id I continued the pursuit, without any mark of hostility, till a quarter past one, when I otdered a shot to be fired. She only persisted more obstinately in flying, and, with the assistan ce o f .' 111 cots sweeps, succeeded in getting out of the reach of shot. The pur. N spaper, suitcontinued with perseverance all night. We cleared for action, and by the aid of good night.glasses the vessel was not lost sight ° nda , of for a moment.• We profited so dexterously by all the changes of the wind, and their bad manctuvm, that r turning agahist•the 7 m " several feigned tacks they made, we had the satisfaction on the 23d, at sun-rise, to see the vessel under the quarter o f the Jean Bart, to windward. I ordered the French colours to be hoisted at the sound of music and a volley of musketry. Their vessel then hoisted the Sag of a Spanish corsair, it the same time en deavouring to get off; and hoisting several small sails, which it bad not /es spread. Another shot failed in making them bring to, as it had hopes that, by means of the breeze which sprung up, its swift sailing would secure its escape. then tried a fire front two 36-pounders on it, the shots from which, though they went beyond it, did not prevent it from continuing its course. i A third fired at it went so near, that the ship then allowed itself 1 to be searched. " From an examination of the ship's papers we found that it is called the Nueva Villas Mariana MS tons ; that it is a corsair, armed with twenty.four.l2-pounders, hating 176 men on board, and a cargo fur Cadiz, from Vera Cruz and ilavanitab, consist ing nearly of three millions in specie; and as Much in vanilla, indigo, cochineal, add other merchandize of tonal' balk. " The attack of tide corsair during the night, against a ship whose flag it could not have known, is an infringement of the right of nations, if it is not even an Act of piracy it is, to say the least of it, watt of hostility against France, and, no doubt, but if the Jean Bart had been merely i merchant vessel, it would have become the prlzo-of this corsair! Its arrogance, whilst it , thought that it cooed reckon on its swift sailing ; its hostile' con. duct till open day, when perceiving a French ship of the line, it only ;Ought to make its escape; its obstinacy in not allowing hoed to be searched as long as It thought it might possib:y abuse my moderation ; its false course; Its effort to accelerate its flight, by disembarrassing itseff of anything which might impede it ; its armament and its dispositions for attack and defence, which even existed when it had been boarded ; is line, everything has persuaded me that the Captain of this corsair, aware of the hos. Clicks against France, or at least presuming them to e xi s t, in.: tended to take one o f ships. " I gave the.pecessary orders that the corsair might below& sionally detained, and that it might be brought with the'han Bart to Martinique ; 60 Frenchmen Were put on board, in ex change for 118 Spaniards, which have been taken from it. The seals were strictly put upon rh hatchways in presence of the pretended supercargo, who remained in care of .k, together with M. Ii , midshipman, to whom I have given the command of the vessel An officer W the marines and ten soldiers have also been put on board as an additional security for the inviolability of all the property—nothing whatever has been taken out of the vessel. " When I notiEed to the Spanish captain my resolution to take the vessel to hlartioique, there is no sort of arrangement that be didi not propose to roe, in conjunction with the self-styled supenargo (who, I have since learned, is' merely an adroit pas senger); as, for instance, to destroy his armament, to land a part of his crew, and only to leave such a. number of "men as were absolutely necessary ,for the cavitation of the ship to Cadiz. Ile was extending his propositions even still further, when T put an end to them by positively informing him that I would sot re-: ceive any of them, and that my tictenatinatiou was irrevocable." . • , • rzs • . . .. . • ''' -' ' Nt &TM a._* --n- ... •: 1 .• ,• ' • • - _ • s- . . \ s• . a THE ARMY. - ~- . , -- Monday, the detachment of the nth Regiment of Light Dr:. i 1 goons, Lancer*, left Exeter barracks for Bideford, where they are to embark fur Ireland. —..- .
