Vulture, from Puerto Cabello, of the capture of Carta," by General BOLT VAR. Bogota and Puerto Cabello do not present the readiest, means of communication With Lima, but oar dates from Lima are old at present, and in such a case it fray happen that the less direct route may bring the' latest intelligence. From Lima to Bogota is about n. 5 days; from Bogota to Puerto Cabello, !' express, IS to 20 days more, which would bring the Lima date to about the 15th March, which is much later than any thing we have by any other channel. However, a few days must finally de cide the point. The parties who have been negotiating with the Spa nish Government fora new loan, are, we think, justly cen suralde for the course they have pursued. Having pledged themselves to furnish money to the King of SPAIN, 011 terms of their own proposing, they surely had no right afterwards to turn round and raise objections which existed, if at all, as strongly when they made the proposals as when FERDINAND had accepted them. It will hardly be contended, that because he had broken his faith with the bond-holderte the contractors were justified in breaking theirs with him. The effect, however, . will undoubt- 1 1 edly he to increase the value of the bonds, and we : hope to hasten the arrival of the day when justice wid be rendered, in full, to the creditors of Spain. Meanwhile, FERDINAND has himself been induced to bid a price for their claims below which it is impossible he should ever again make another off r. Ile has, in fact, acknowledged that, to that extent, they ought to be deemed valid. This is not enough for the bond-holders. They are entitled to the whole, but it is important to them to have had their new . demands admitted to the amount of 3.5 per cent. It is remarkable toe, that in fixing this rate of composition, no distinction, we understand, is made between the bonds of 1821 and those of 1823. On the Stock Exchange, the new and old bonds, as they are termed, have always dif fered considerably in value, though no reason could ever be shown for the difference. If the Spanish Government had any feeling on the subject, it must be in favour of the new lainds, which were issued immediately by commis sioners acting under the authority of his Catholic Majesty, who, in this instance, plighted his honour under circum stances of great pecuniary embarrassment. Whatever be came of the proceeds of the other loans, the produce of the new bonds went directly into the Spanish treasury. On 'these considerations, we presume all the bonds of the Cortes, as they are called, were placed on the same footing, and declared admissible at the same rate. We wish Fys- DINAND had never been led to believe that a new loan could have been obtained on any conditions, hut those of acting honestly towards all the creditors of his Government. If false hopes had never been held out to him, the question of the Spanish Bonds, we repeat, would have bee,' settled long ago. As it is, however, it must be gratifying to all lovers of public justice that circumstances, of whatever nature, have compelled the King of Seale already to acknowledge that the bonds ought to be recognised at 3.5 per cent. at least. On the third reading of the Judges' Salaries Bill last night, in the House of Lords, the LORD CHANCELLOR, in reply to some observations from Earl GROSVENOR, made some interesting statements with regard to the income he derives from his office. During the last three years it has not exceeded 10,0001., and during the last twenty-three years it has not averaged 13,000/. annually. This is cer tainly, as the LORD CHANCELLOR said, much below the : common opinion of the value of his office. It is less than he received while practising at the bar. The Noble and Learned Lord was deeply affected in alluding to the calum nies that have been circulated against him on this subject. With rcsFect to the Commission respecting the Court of Chancery,he expressed his anxiety that theit inquiries should be close and extensive into all that related to that Court. In conclusion his Lordship adverted to the clamour that has been falsely raised against him, and warned the House how they suffered the characters of men in high station to fall under the attacks of public libellers. Lord REDESDA LE vindicated the Members of the Commission from some dis paraging remarks of Earl GROSVENOR, who afterwards thought St to explain them away. In the House of Commons, a long conversation took place on the presentation of a Petition by Mr. Hums, com plaining that a Banking Company at Bristol had refused to give gold in payment of their notes. The law is quite clear as to this point. Every Banker is boand to pay in gold, on demand; but Mr. Hums and Mr. ABERCROLIBY wished to have a summary process enacted, for the seizure of a Bankerl goods. if, at the end of three days, he refused to pay his notes in gold. The subject was treated as one of great importance, merely to give some of the Members an opportunity of recurring to their old practice of predict ing the national ruin from the excess of the paper currency. CORBETT should have been amongst them, to have read a lecture on the gridiron. The Combination Bill passed through the Committee. The evils of the present system were forcibly btft not too, strongly stated by Mr. WALLACE. The trade of the country would have been undermined and destroyed, if an effectual check had not been applied to the wild ex cesses of the workmen. Their own interests were those most deeply concerned in the suppression of 'their violent COMM The charges against Mr. E exams were again before the House. Mr. DENHAM gave notice of his intention to move some Resolutions this evening, inculpating Mr. KFIVRICR with respect to the case of Faasis. By our advices.from Liverpool last night, we learn that Mr. Rory. Kix°, the new American Minister, and his family have arrived at that port by the Pacific, which sailed from New York on the Ist of June. We have also by the same conveyance received papers up to that date. Their most interesting contents relate to South America. The l'eu, York Evening I'M states, that " a treaty has been concluded between the French and Spanish Governments, by which the Islands of Cute and Porto Rico are to be oc cupied, like Cadiz, with the troops of the former nation, Of 18,000 French soldiers now in the West Indies, 8,000 are to be draughted Cyr Cuba, and 4,000 fbr Porto Rico; and the garrisons row occupying these places are to be dis banded and sent to Spain, or to some other station." We do not believe there is any truth in this statement, though it is said to proceed from respectable authority. The French Government have repeatedly disclaimed any intention of taking possession of the Colonies of Spain; and the sentiments of E3gland are sufficiently known, we think, to prevent any attempt of this nature, if France. were disposed to make it. By the accounts from Bogota in these papers, to the lath ult., it appears that the Session of the Colombian Congress was diawing to a close. The following are further extracts : (From the Ness York Daily Advertiser of May 30.] A gentleman, who arrived here in the schooner Franklin from Chagrea and Lima, has furnished us with Guayaquil papers to March 19, and Lima Government Gazettes to March 10. We are informed that Gen. (Ballets still holds out in l'prier' Peru against the Patriots, although a report was current in Luns, for a time, that he had agreed to the capitulation. The Peruvian Congress opened their Session on the 10th of Fe. bruary, and decreed that Bolivar should continue to hold the power and title of Dictator until the neat Session of Congress, which is tired by the Constitution in the year 1826. Two Members of the Peruvian Congress had arrived at Gnarquil on their way to Colombia, charged with an important commission. General Sanchez attacked a body of 800 Royalists at Cochabamba,l on the 17th January, who were going to join Olaneta, and took 'many of them and their o ffi cers prisoners. Preparations were mak ing to garrison Chuquisaca and Potosi.

The Paris papers that arriveA last night are filled ehi,:dy with the discussion of M. de VILLELE'S financial measures. They contain also some intelligence from Greece. The fall of Navarino is again reported, but its capture would be of little benefit to IBRAHIM PACH•, since the detrtruction of his fleet by the Greek Admiral 1111 A T.T 9. This blow- seems quite decisive of the success of the Egyptian expedition. Cut off from all resources, I nuantm Neu s must speedily capitulate. He cannot advance, nor can he escape.

To-day, before mass, his Excellency Prince Wolkousky, Am bassador Extraordirtnry from his Majesty the Emperor of All the Ruvsias. his Excellency the Duke of Northumberland, Ambassador Extraordinary from his Britannic Majetoy, and Count Charles Lowenhielm. Envoy Extraordinary from his Majesty the King of Sweden, took leave of the King and the Royal Family in private audiences. _ . • • • • After mar: the Ambassadors and Foreign Ministers paid their respects to his Slajesty aad their Royal Highnesses. [From the Etoik, dated Sunday, Jane 2n.] rRIESTE• JCIZE 10. After the splendid nasal victor; which the Greek; gained in the night of the 12th of May, we could not expert to see Navarino capitulate. Yet this must hayz happened, if we depend upon the letters frt m Corti of the 301 h May. It is true, nn the other hand, that tbe two accounts are so much at variance, that we muet have more positive news of the surrender of Navar no to believe it. It c innot be explained, unless from a fit of desperation in the Alussul. mass, who, enraged at the destruction of their fleet, threw them selves into the Isleof Sphaggio, and thence took Navarine. However it may be, the possession of that place is of no value to Ibrahim Pache after the disorder of his fleet, and his situation in the Mores could not be the less critical fur hr, berth Gazette. CON STANTINOPLE, MAT la The Porte has received from the Moire new despatches which spirted l eteral consternation. The combined Turkish, Egyptian, and Algerine squadrons, with a considerable number of transports, had happily entered the port of Alodon. and had landed there the third division of troops. A panic terror immediately seized the grtisan of Na,varino, and it was on the point of capitulating when the Greeks appeared with 28 vessels, commanded by Moults. A part of the Turkish fleet was quietly at anchor in the Port. Al iaulis conceived the plan of attacking it will his fire-ships. Thee -ter prise completely succeeded : a large trigare, five ships of war, and twenty transports were burnt, and according to the reports in cir culation, the fire communicated to the town itself, the powder ma gazine blew up, and Ibrahim Patch■ was in the most dangerous situation. .

Nothing transpired in the course of yesterday either to confirm or contradict the statement of the Master of the _~ .41110 . _.~ -.-- which he " twice eefuseti." The Congress then requested him to take It under his charge, and appropriate at to objects of beneficence. i;'rom a letter addressed by hint to Congress on the 12th of February, in which he accepts of the Dictatorship again, he says that the in terests of the State will call him to Upper Peru, and therefore he shall delegate part of the supreme power to a Council of Govern. ment, under Lamar, as President. A column of troops, who came out of the castle of Callao. on the 'fah February, were routed by the Patriots, with a logs of 200 killed and many wounded. [From the New York Natinnul Admerde of May 31.1 The Chilian squadron, under Captain John Illingworm in the Protector frigate, had sailed for Chile*, to intercept Spanish sei ne!' there. Admiral Guise had been sent to Lima to account for his conduct to the Liberator. At Campeachy the country Is in a disturbed state. ' General St. Anna has been ordered to !illexico by' the Congress.

We 'have received a file of the EC(' de Ms 'Amid, a paper pub lished at Mendoza, a city at the toot of the Andes, and also a copy of the first Message of the Governor to the Legislative As sembly of the province—one of the United Provinces of Buenos Ayres. The political articles in the papers inculcate the most I liberal principles, and many of them have in vie* the free tolera tion of religious opinions. The Governor in his message congra tulates the Assembly on the state of the public Enauces, and on the generally improving condition of the country. CITY, 1110,SDAT EVENING. The transactions In the English Funds were not extensive this morning, but the prices continued steady. Consols for the open. ing were folf j. in the early part of the day, and they left off at I. The Reduced Annuities were 91, 903 I. In the Foreign Market there were very large purchases made In Spanish Securities ; the interest respecting which appears email, to have increased since the rupture of the negotiation. The reason of speculators purchasing under these circumstances, must be the conviction, that fERDINAVD'S necessities will cause him to grant any terms that the capitalists here may think tit to demand, and consequently that the Bonds will ultimately be recognised ro the full. At the conclusion of the market, they had considerably Im proved. The old ones closed at 22j, and the new at 17. Greek Scrip was again materially depressed, being 11 i discount all day. The Bonds were 18i ; South America?' Securities were a shade worse; Colombian Bonds, 871 8; and Mexican Scrip, 21 j dis ceunt ; Brazilian Scrip was 3 A discount; and Danish do. 3,2 i discount. The new French Rentes were quoted at 781. in the Share Market there was a good deal of briskness In Anglo Mexican Shares, which were quoted at C 5, 90. The United Mexi can Company's Shares were 25, 7 ; the new Potosi Shares were 61 ; the General Mining Shares were 11, 12 ; and thine of the Paseo Peruvian Association, 141. A new Company, called the Tywarnhall Mining Association, was in the market to-day, the Shares of which were at 2, lt premium. There is a report that an Austrian Loan is soon forthcoming. The letters by the Lisbon mail yesterday are to the 4th of June, hut their interest Etas been supersetled by the last arrival of Frenth Papers, which bring communications from that capital to the Bth inst. The Exmouth has arrived from Bedgil, hut the letters and papers she brings are of an old date. The letters by this vessel, from the Cape, are to the 21st April, but they contain no political news; neither do the communications from St. Helena, by the same conveyance, bring any intel ligence of interest. 1 Co LOMBIA.—The following is a statement of the cargos of the Vulture, from Puerto Cabello, which arrived on Thursday at Liverpool. Such details as these supply inte resting information at the opening of a new trade:— Indigo - - r.B scrons Cocoa . - 19 barrels Cotton - a 214 ditto 1 Hides - . 50 Coffee - 811 bags Nicaragua Wood 30 tors. A law has passed the Senate of Colombi., by which no Colombian man who has not completed his 21st year, and no Colombian woman, who has not completed her ISth year, can conttact marriage without the express consent of the father and mother. The Lisbon papers received yesterday contain a notice issued by the Secretary of Slate to certain parties, who were anxious to gain the sanction of Government for the importation of foreign corn, which conveys to them an an swer unfavourable to their wishes, observing, that such importation cannot take place beyond the limits of the ex isting law. Accounts have been received from Gibraltar, dated to the 7th inst. The Spanish Consul at tile garrison has given official notice that the Spanish Government will al low 14 per cent. to all masters of vessels who will take cargoes of salt from Spain. The price is fixed by the Go vernment at Madrid at a very low rate, the salt something under 6d. per cwt. The Amsterdam Courtly? , of Saturday contains the first part of a treaty between the King of the Netherlands and his Britannic Majesty, signed at Meppen in July last year, fur the final determination of the frontiers of the Nether lands and Hanover. In the Amsterdam courant of Saturday there is a com munication from Smyrna, confirming the news that the Egyptian fleet had been almost entirely burnt in the har bour of Modon. A Dutch brig was present and witnessed the scene. L.ttere from Trieste received yesterday state, that Nava rino had surrendered.• The intelligence was said to have been brought from Corfu by an English frigate, which had arrived there in seven days. We suspect that this is only a reiteration of the groundless report which was explained in the French papers a few days ago. A letter dated Messina, June 1, says—" In consequence of the alteration in the quarantine laws in England, vessels arriving from thence are now subjected to twenty-one days quarantine from the time/ of unloading the last package, and the goods to twenty-eight days' purgation in the La zaretto." We have received Qaebce and Montreal papers to the 20th ult. The greatest rejoicings appear to have taken place in all the British North American possessions, on re ceiving the intelligence of the free trade acts lately brought into Parliament. At Halifax, and other places, the inha bitants waited upon the Governor with congratulations, and celebrated the news by entertainments of every de scription. These Papers also mention, that a new coin for the province is immediately expected from England. The Commissariat has received orders to take 103/. sterling, in British money, for every 100/. bill on the English treasury, without reference to the rates of exchange. STATE or TRADI.—A very considerable change of feel ing has taken , place in the Liverpool cotton market, and it is now brisk at some improvement in price. Since Wed nesday, we understand that there has been a Emewhat better demand both for goods and yarns ; but we do not learn that any actual advance has been obtained. It is said that there is again a considerable disposition to heavy speculative buying, but this we are inclined to think would be one of the worst things for the holders of cotton that could take place ; for, unless the prices of goods and yarns should rise (of which, generally speaking, there appears to be but little prospect) so as to afford a pro fi t on the price to which such an operation would drive the raw material, the certain effect of it will be to decide those spinners who are now hesitating, at once to reduce their time of work ing. Since our last, msny other partial stoppages have taken place. At Hyde, and the neighbourhood, the mills are working four days a week ; and we believe at ararty all tile factories in Stockport and Btayley Bridge a greater re duction has taken place.—Manchester Paper. We have authority to state, that the report which ap peared in our paper of Saturday last, of a fine of thirty thousand pounds being due to the present Bishop of Salis bury, is wholly without foundation. It is privately mentioned at Morpeth, that an oppo sition will take place for that borough at the next general election, and it is strongly conjectured that Mr. Ord will be thrown out. —Durham Chronicle. The election of a representative in Parliament for the county of Tyrone, in the room of the late lamented Sir John Stewart, Bart. is to take place on Monday next. The Hon. Henry T. L. Cony will be returned without opposition. It is understood that a Bill will be introduetvl into Par liament next year, for the purpose of aegrnenting the sa laries of the Irish Judges; among other enactments, it will contain a clause, obliging a Judge, after he shall have at tained the age of seventy, to accept the pension, and enjoy his chum cum dignitate.—Dahlia Paper. The first annual meeting of the Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals takes place to-morrow, at one o'clock, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Sir James' Mackintosh will preside. a IZELEASE V3k GPXPIZAL bErEREUX. IFr announced from the English Journals the arrival ofi General Dl , %ereux, an Irishman, who has served with dis tinction under the orders Of B4licar in the war which has just insured the independence of Colombia. General De vereux was arrested at &nip by the Austrian police, and conducted to Venice, where he was shut up in the prisons of the old Duoal Palace. ais,effects and papers were seized without Ins bring able to obtain any other explana tion of the motives of his arrest except his being the friend and companion of Bolivar. General Devereux immediately wrote his Majesty the Emperor of Austria a letter full of frmeeils, in which he said that he could not suppose that an actor tyranny so odious and so• infamous as that which haul just, been exercised upon him, could have been done by his Majesty's consent ; that he was travelling with an American pat;sport, and was charged with the interests of a company formed for working the gold mines of Colombia ; and that if his detention was prolonged the Austrian (lovernment would become respon sible for all the damage which might result from it. • This letter was sent to Milan where the Emperot then was. By the greatest chance in the world, an Italiap who had been placed about him to serve as am interpreter, was recognised by him as having long served under his orders in the Colombian army. Fifteen days after the arrest of General Devereux the answer was received from Milan : it simply contained the order for his liberation, with an injunction to quit Venice and Italy in 21 hours. The officer who intimated this or der to him endeavoured to make him some excuses, telling him that his arrest had only been a mistake, which ought not to inspire him with resentment against the Austrian' Government, nor hinder his again canning into Italy. "If ever," answered the General, " I come again into Italy whilst the Austrian dominion shall be established in it, it will only be sword in hand." General Devereux arrived the day before yesterday an Faris, and set ont from it this morning for London —Cour tier Ft ancuis. SIERRA LEONE. - By the arrival of the Cato transport we have received Sierra Leone Gazette., to the 7th May. At that period the ships of war employs %1 on the coast were genetally healthy ; but the mortality among the troops at Cape Coast continued to be very great. It appeared by the last returns, that in the course of tirelve months 217 men and Vt officers (be sides women and children), had died ; leaving 14f; men and eight officers only, of which the garrison was composed. The following Proclamation had been issued by Major- General Turtier t— " By Ms Excellency Maim-Genera Turner, C.B.
