'Mr. Dillon, as one of the co-heirs, entitled to a tenth of the property of the deceased, was the tirst to commence proceedings.

Dillon was acquitted ; hnt the • matter was ler contrived that his pretended breath of the 'peace was concerted into a political offence.

Tarty ;• and. no doubt, by deceiving our Sovereign as to the mode's that led him to fix his domicile in France, •olitaimed the title of Count, together with the creation in Ms favour of a Majorat. In pasties to our Sovereign, it mast be concluded, Wel Ifentsequin, that when Stackpoole obtained naturalise- 1 tioo, it wits not suspected that he brought with him into France the produce of spoliation, that he merely sought an asylum from guilt. He might have been regarded as a foreigner saw tame to add many millions to our national wealth. It is to the Monarch himself that I would appeal against his awn decision, deceived as he was by false re -presentations. The title, and the naturalisation and the molorat, will be pleaded in Vain ;• they cannot stand when •pposed to the voice of peke.

Spanish Bonds Mi. • Accounts !have been received this morning from Buenos Ayre,, of the date of the 19:h Sept. which bring the important intelligence, that General Bolivar, at die bead of twelve thouiand m.n, hes re-taken 'Lima. General Cantarac, the Spanish General, has been taken prisoner, and his second in command was killed in ls.t:le. The British ships of war whiclasre assetabling at Gib raltar, are, it is suppoied, designed to torso a Ilea of Ob servation for the Mediterranean. As the visit of Mr. Rothschild to Paris, gave rise to various ppeenlations, many different rumours have of course, attended his return.' It had been generally sup posed that•one great object which he and the other great contractors hail in view, on their errand to that capital, .was the negotiation of a loan to the Spanish Government, on such conditions as should recognize, in part at least the other loaWs that had been contracted by the previon-. administrations. Independent of the scheme for raisin; money for Spain, on the alienation of her pretended eglits over her • late colonies, such a loan as had brew formerly. supposed bad been . proposed ; and it is asserted that Mr. Rothschild had, with Mr. Baring anal Mr. Reid, several interviews with Al.-de Villele and M. Chateanbriand, upon the strbliet. 'I he determination of' theexistingilovrrnmentin Spain not to acknowledge the debts contracted by the, Cortes nal well known : and, it is believed that at these interviews no hopes Were giien of the recognition of the Bonds in question. The trees' allies of the King of Spain, Conover, are as notorious as his . ob,iiilary ; and as tlke prudence and resolution of the moneyed men are unqnrstianable, it is expected that Ferdinand 'wilt be forced to yield: Respecting the o' her scheme, which we stated yesterday on theantliority of a morning parr, a project more vi sionary can -hardly be conceivell.To admit that it may have been proposed, is enough for us ; to believe that it has been listened to, •is mitre than credulity ran bear. The independence of the South American States, is to be procured by handing them over to the guardianship of a Company of European Bankers!!! These gentlemen are to begin, by giving Ferdinand as much money as he wants; and then they are to force some millions on Lonis, under the name of indemnity ! ! ! These two Kings are next to grant to these kind gentlemen an "exclusive privilege of trading with the Soto American Republics!! !" This privilege is to be exclusive ; that is to-say, a merchant of London or Liverpool, who now trades with Buenos Ayres or Valparaiso, is to be excluded from sodoing, not by the act of his own government, nor by the acts of the South American Governments, but by the alt . thority of the Rings of France and Spain !. ! The ;~ d indepetiltenre of these Republics is to be acknowledge by Spain ask the other Eisrope in Potreo, bit the trade with theta must he carried op under.!!!!! protection and by. themeriniesion of this Enropean Association ! ! Is it easy to imagine any 'scliethe more arrogant or absurd? Admitting far the sake of argument that Spain has a right to propose conditions to her former colonies, ; what eight has France or any other European Power to i interfere with their concerns ? But to return to that of ! iSpaint—todnireet an exclusive company with au aotho• wiry for carrying on the trade between Europe and America, supposes in the power that grants the privilege, the sovereignty of bath. When Spain was Sovereign of Europe sal America, she could giant to a particular Com . pany the privilege of trading it ith all or any of the Colonies; but Spain is no longerSavereign de facto of SouthAtnerics: and her glint of any suck irivileg,e, without the acqui escence of theSontli American States themselves, would be utterly 'Unavailing. That the South American States could titer .be brought to give to any exclusive Coop papy the centristsl of their coma erce, will be believed by no man at all acquainted with that part of the world.— The chief of their struggle has been to obtain an unlimited freedom of trade ; and having a: thieved their indep-ndence, they will viol surely be fools enough to renounce that advantage. But then " the European Powers mast, in a general Congress, siipniate to prohibit.their other subjects from sending ships to South America, as we prohibit all others except the ships of the East India Company from going to China." This we suppose is to enable the Company to dispense with the con sent of the South American States, and the latter will then have no choice. But here again we are met by two difficulties; first the consent of all the States o f Europe is nec , ssary, and we know that the consent of one of them, England, will sot be given ; and, secondly," if an European Congress, of which England formed a part, were to interdict all Europeans from trading to South America, there wonlil remain the United States, when e all European goods could b•-conveyed to South America as cheaply, or nearly so, as from Europe itself. • The recently elected Pope is said to be seriously indis posed.
