The BUITIIII Pantie ensnminTediitibliabing yesterday morning at half-poet the o'clock. - - LONDON, TUESDAY, Jcxt 8, Int. The Paris Papers of Saturday, with the Etoile, dated Sunday, reached our once yesterday. The Qadidieleae exults as warmly as the Constitutionael or Courtier Fran cais, at the defeat of the law for the reduction of the Rentes. The Etoile says, that the rejection of this mea sure had produced a great impression in the French ca pital, and that many persons, who, from regard to private interests, had been drawn into the opposition, would make serious reflections on the consequences of the rejection. There can be nothing in these consequences to create such feelings as the Etude anticipates. The general sentiment throughout Paris was unquestionably that of uaminglesl satisfaction at the Ministers' defeat ; nor can it affi.ct the character of the French Funds in any way but favourably ; they were rapidly recovering the temporary depression that affected them, and the decision of the Chamber of Peers must name these securities in the eyes, not only of all France, but of foreign nations ; it attaches to them a cha racter of inviolability. The Upper Chamber now contains a number of decides! Liberals, whom no dissolution can remove from their seats; many of them were called to the Peerage while M. de Claes held the reins of power, and they would oppose the measure both from hostility to the prrsent Ministry, and from being, perhaps, deeply interested in its results themselves. With this body many of the violent 1. (teas associated, in the hope of overturning De Villele's trinktry : in fact all parties opposes! to the law from per sonal interest as " rentiers," or political hostility to the Minister from whom it emanated, would unite on such an occasion, and through such a union the proposed measure was lost. The project we think was perfectly fair and jnst: its supporters relied on the words of the "Code Napoleon," that annuities constituted in perpetuity are essentially redeemable. It is true that a large portion of the public debt of France was in existence before this Code was framed; but until that period, from the era of the Revolution, the security on which the public debt rested was very doubtful. It was then assured and settled by these articles of the civil code, and any subsequent increase of that debt rested on the same principles. The measure , having been warmly approved by the Monarch, his brother Monsieur, and the Duke of Angouleme, and the co?orition to it formed of such mixed parties, we see no reason whatever to suppose that it will lead to the breaking up of the Count de ‘'illele's ministry. The Renter were recovering their depression; they closed on Saturday at lu3f. 35c. for money, and 103 f. 70c. for time to the end of the month.—There is no intelligence of any import ance from Spain. lire regret to state that tlw last accounts from Calcutta bring the melancholy details of a most alarming scarcity at Madras. The crops, from long drought, or some other cause, had unfortunately failed along the coast, and Madras and the surrounding country was in a state of frightful famine. Parents were abandoning their children from want, and several had exT.ircl of absolute starvation. Such a calamity reminds us but too strongly of the dreadful famine which desolated Hindoatan in the latter adminis tration of Lord Clive, and which was pregnant with so runny horrors. The simple natives of India live almost wholly on rice; animal fend they Will not touch, from relig:ous antipathy ; and any failure of the rice crops, airid an immense population sueli as swarms over the ;Jester part of India, must be attended with indescribable tuis:ry. Plentiful supplies:, however, were expected at Madras from the northern provinces and Bengal, no 'scarcity existing there. We therefore trust that the dreadful pressure was hut temporary, and that it has long since passed away. The blessings of British government and humanity would he deeply felt by the hapless natives urger such a visitation ; nu exertion or remedy would be spared to give them immrdiate relief. Tit, political state of Mexico, and that of the vast pro- vinces of South America, furl) the immense concerns of our merchants, and monied men, with every part of that Cantinent, is now rousing strong feelings and universal anxiety throughout the country, to obtain the recognition of American independence by our Cabinet. Spain, through the genius of the great Columbus, and the subse quent daring of Cortez, Pizarro, and their adherents,, early seized on this tine and interesting portion of the globe as her own. It formed a vast accession to the do minions of Ferdinand or Arragon and Isabella of Cas tile, by whose marriage the two Crowns became united ; and who, just pervious, hail extinguished in Grenada the last surviving dynasty of the Moors. S;ain was long ena- ~s bled to maintain her . monopoly in the New iVoria. To wards the close of the 16th, and during the greater part of the 16th century, Spain and Portugal were the two great Naval Powers on the Ocean. The Spanish in fantry, exercised in the wars of Italy, under Gonsalez de Cordova, was then the first in Europe. Venice, at that period, was a trading power of considerable consequence ; her commerce was spread through every part of Europe; but her vessels scarce ever sailed beyond the Mediterranean. The Spaniards, relying on the right of prior discovery, claimed all America as their own. They could not prevent the Portuguew, who were then their rivals on the ocean, who had discovered the passage by the Cape of Good Hope, and whose conquests under Pc Gams and Albuquerque, in Asia, had added so much to their power, from settling in Brazil. But such was then the terror of the Spanish name, that it dismayed other nations from attempting a settlement in America. The early French colonists who landed on the coasts of Florida were all exterminated by the jealous Spaniards. 'l'he destruc tion of the Armada was the first efficient blow given to the Spanish power at sea. Drake, Frobisher, and other ad venturous seamen, carried soon after terror through the whole coast of Spanish America. In the course of the 17th century the English, French, Dutch, and other na tions, were enabled to make settlements on that Continent. But Spain had already extended her sceptre over the largest and richest portion of the New 'World. Ilex au thority was recognized from Florida to the southern extre mity of the barren coast of Chili. She had influence enough to maintain a tyrannical dominion and a proacrip ' tire monopoly throughout these possessions, until within the last ten years: but both are now parted from her hands for ever. But Spain and Portugal are memorable examples that the monopoly of the trade of colonies, however great and populous, is not of itself sufficient to establish or maintain manufactures in any country. Both these nations possessed considerable manufactures before the New World was discovered ; since they held the richest possessions in the world these manufactures de clined to almost nothing. The commercial profits of the merchants of Cadiz and Lisbon were very large ; but they did nothing to augment the capital of either country ; they neither alleviated the poverty nor increased the industry of the people. The Colonies of both , powers gave more encouragement to the industry of other nations than to their own. In the article of linens alone, the annual consumption of Spanish America and Brazil amounted to near four millions ; but of this large amount Spain and Portugal furnished but a very small part; the demand was principally supplied by France, Flanders, Holland, and Germany. Gold was the great object of the Spaniards in conquering America. Columbus for a while believed the countries he discovered to be a part of those which Marco Paolo, the early oriental traveller, had de scribed ; and in his letters to Ferdinand and Isabella, he always called them the Indies. It was the search for gold that carried Cortez to Mexico, and Almagro and Pizarro to Chili and Peru. When those daring adventurers arrived on any part of the coast, their first inquiry from the na tives was whether any gold was found there, and according to the answers they received they either settled in the country or determined to leave it. The Crown of Spain, from the tax os gold and silver, derived a large revenue from Spanish America, almost from the first moment of settlement ; the revenue too was of that nature calcu lated to excite expectations of unlimited riches. These colonies attracted, in consequence, the immediate and marked avidity of the parent country, and adventurers went out in thousands ; but the violent and arbi trary Government of Ohl Spain paralyzed for cen turies their finest capabilities. The cities of Mexico, Lima, Caraccas, and some others, were populous and wealthy ; but the country in general was poor, and the great mass of the inhabitants plunged in abject poverty, and degraded by the grossest superstition and tyranny. Since these great countries have shaken off this oppressive yoke, industry, intelligence, and activity arc fast increasing amongst them. The trade of Great Britain with this ex tended Continent has now risen to a vast amount: last year it wanted little of six millions sterling; the entire, with a trifling exception, formed of our domestic manu factures. In one year the value of cotton goods exported to Spanish and Portuguese America, from the port of Liverpool alone, was more than eleven hundred thousand pounds sterling. Millions of British capital are also com mitted in loans, successively negociated with every pro vince. Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the country at large should be deeply anxious to ace the independence of these States acknowledged, knowing that such a recognition by this country would be decisive. Public meetings, with that feeling, have already com menced, and Liverpool has taken the lead. It is expected that the Foreign Minister, who has devoted so much of his attention to this interesting question, will make an im portant communication on the subject to Parliament before the Session closes. The policy of our Cabinet is clear and simple ; no doubts can rest upon it. Spain, and her claims of weak supremacy, to us are nothing ; in the independ ence and welfare of her emancipated Colonies we now possess the strongest interest. iVixnsoa (MoNnav), JUNE 7.—Yesterday afternoon the King, after attending Divine Service at the private chapel in the Castle, took an airing to the Royal Lodge, where his Majesty dined, and returned to the Castle in the evening.

The presence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence during the last week has given the greatest gaiety and animation to this place. On Monday motning his Royal Highness inspected the citadel, and partook of an elegant cold collation with the Colonel and Officers of the MI, at the Mess-room. At seven o'clock his Royal 110 mess again visited the citadel, for the purpose of dining with the gallant Commander in -Chief, Sir James Cameron, where he was met by Sir J. Saumarez, the Commissioner of the Dock-yard, Capts. Pipon, Ayscough, and Hardiman, with Lieut. M`Crea, R.N., the Commanding Officers of the several corps in the garrison, and the Officers of the Generals Staff. A party of ladies also visited Lady Cameron. On Tuesday a grand inspection of the Guards, under Colonel Cochrane, took place at the Government Parade, Mount Wise, at eleven o'clock. His Royal Highness ex presard himself highly pleased with the appearance of the corps. The attraction to see the Duke, the review, and the weather being so fine, called a greater concourse of persons on the ground than ever we recollect seeing at any preceding period; every part of the space from which a view of the troops could be got was filled by spectaton there were upwards of 30 carriages or the ground. At seven in the evening his Royal highness dined with the Colonel and Officers of the Guards, at Elliott's (late Goude's) Royal Hotel. On Wednesday, his Royal Highness embarked from his yacht on board the Royal Cambria steam-boat, and made an excursion up the river as far as the Weir Head. In the evening his Royal Highness dined with the Naval Club at IVhichion's Royal Hotel. The ball which followed, and which his Royal Highness honoured with his presence, was attended by most of the rank and beauty in these towns and neighbourhood : it was the most numerous and bril liant assemblage of Bank and fashion that has ever graced the Royal Hotel ball-room. On Thursday, his Royal Highness, in the Admiral's barge, visited the Dock-yard. Ile was rc:eivetl at the landing-place by the Commissioner and superior officers of the various departments, and conductrel through the whole establishment, with which his It iyal flightier:a ap peared highly pleased. Yesterday morning, shortly after five o'clock, the Royal yacht, having on board his Royal Highness, was taken iu tow from her moorings in Hamoaze, by the steam-packet, the Royal Cambria, and towed down the harbour, through the Sound, and to sea, by the eastern end of the Break water, amidst salutes from the Britannia, Mount Wise, Island, Garrison, and ships in harbour. She was accom panied by his Majesty's ship Reindeer. It was intended that the steam-packet should tow the yacht into Dartmouth, but about fifteen miles off, the wind, which was very light during the morning, sprang up a tine brt exe, and in consequence the steam-packet was cast off, and reached Plymouth by eleven o clock. 'We understand that his Royal Highness intends being in London by the Otir. SIR HENRY HARDINGE.—WC have heard with •ery great satisfaction of a letter written by his Royal Iligho esa the Commander-in-Chi:l' to our worthy Representative, Sir Henry Hartßilge, expressing his Royal Highness's t•n tire and unqualified approbation of his highly honouraltle anti gentleman-like conduct in the recent affair with Mr. Battier. The letter is daLsl Horse Guards, May 21, 1524, and signed—" Frederick, Commander-in-Chief."- - We have been induced to notice this most highly tiatterin,g testimony of the meritorious conduct of our Gallant Mem ber, from an assurance that it will afford infinite satisfac tion to every person of honourable feeling and principle ; and we sincerely hope Sir henry Hardinge will long, very long enjoy that confidence his gallantry and approved good conduct so justly merit.—Dterlifit County Advertiser. The Duke of Buckingham has invited the tenantry, yeomanry, and their wives and families, amounting to at least 1,000 persons, to a ball and supper, at Stowe, on the 15th inst. to celebrate the christening of the young Earl Temple. MARRIAGE IN 'heat Lirr..—The Hon. Captain W. L. Fitzgetald De Roos, of the Ist Regiment of Life Guards, was married yesterday morning, at St. George's, Hanover-square, to Lady Geor 'iana ,, Lennox, daughter of the Duke of Richmond.. The happy pair, after partaking of a grand dinner at Earl Bathurst a, set off immediately to his Lordship's country residence, near Cirencester, to spend the honey-moon. An elopement has taken place in Paris, which is likely to excite the attention of the gentlemen of the long robe here, in more ways than one. The parties are, a Noble Lord well known in the gay circles of this metropolis, and the wife of a young Baronet. A bronze statue of the late Mr. Pitt is aboat t be erected in the centre of Hanover-square. TaiMLESTON CA sr.—On Monday last, the Lord Chan cellor pronounced judgment in this long litigated cause, directing another issue to try the validity of the will made by the late Lord Trimleston.

Last night Mr. Elliston took his benefit, and we are happy to say, that shortly after the curtain rose there was not s standing place to be had ia any part of the house. The ILI,- pocrite, which has been so often and so successfully played this season, was repeated, and its repetition was hailed with all that applause which the acting of Dowton, Liston, and Mrs. W. 'West could not fail of insuring. The inedy of the Liar followed, in which Mr. Elliston sus tained one of hiss most favourite characters, that of Yoeng I Wilding. This performance forcibly reminded us of Isis I younger slays ; and if in the progress of time Mr. Elliston has almost necessarily lost a portion of his vivacity, be has not lost that peculiarity of power which early obtained for him a distinguished place in the public approbation. We never heard any Liar who assumed grater earnest ' ness, or more apparent sincerity ; and if there were a fault in the narration of his adventures, it was that of their being rather of the sombre and sermonizing cast. His introduction of the mock :Marquis to his father was well given ; and the story of his pretend«l marriage was told with an air of plausibility and seeming regret for having offended the old gentleman by so indiscreet an act, which drew down peals of applaus , and did not fail of calling every risible muscle into motion. The burthen of this piece falls on Mr. Elliston, and be very ably sustained it. During these performances, Ma dame Catalani (who had volunteered her services) sat several Italian airs, with all that magical power which she alone possesses in so eminent a degree. After the con clusion of the second piece, Mr. Elliston came forward, • and addressed the au d ience to following effect : " Ladies aid fientlensen,—While I most respe ctfully beg leave to return you my cordial thanks foe the amp patronage with which you have honoured me on this weasion, allow me—permit me to explain to you how much I have been cheered by the • general favour which has been shewn me, through so large a per tion of time as that in which I have had the honour of struggling un this spot for your favour. " Five years dre now nearly elapsed, sine, under the present ad ministration, I was induced to take the conduct of the complicated affairs of this Vliestre, and I may add, of retrieving it from its pecuniary pressure and enabl.mottonents (applause); and I am now enabled, thank God„ to state, that. under the present direction, its debts are &excusing. that a short time will see them entirely paid, and that the shareholders, by whose subscriptions this edifice ban been erected, will ultimately realize that price fur their shares from which they deteriorated, and that they will be raised to their full and original value. (Applause.) " I mention not this prosperity with the view of raising my own credit, by speaking of my individual industry, but to chew the: where the manager of such an establishment is zealous and perse vering, the public will second all his efforts. And, Ladies and Gentlemen, I can honestly assure VIM, that I could have ef. feeted nothing without the aid of British liberality. (Loed Ap plause.) " To you, Ladies and Gentlemen, L owe every thing on my part ;—on yru I confidently rely for the future ;end, believe me, that slide I say I can only live by the fair profits and emoluments of my labour, those profits shall be butt is secondary consideration to that high delight which I shall ever meet in sitar- ing your generous protection. " As a iilettge that I shall not relax any effort to please you, I beg leave to notice, that reports have been circulated of the speedy secession of many of your favourites tram this theatre ; but such reports, I take pleasure in stating, arc totally groundkas. I am ; willing to suppose that these reports originated in mistake rather : than in malignity or hostility to this establishment, for with the exception of Air. 31unden, whose loss to the stage every lover of the histrionic art must deplore—(applause)—l can assure ;mu con. fidcndy of the continuance of almost every one of your favourites for the next i• onion with die additional talent to be gathered front the provincial thea tres; and let me add to the lovers of music, the engagement of a gentleman DO generally esteemed, I mean Mr. Sapid. 1 fear, Indies and Gentlemen, that I have too long . intruded I upon your patience, and I shall oely repeat the expression of my' heartfelt gratitude, and my fixed resolution, by every the most arduous effort, to merit the coetiouance of the public favour." (Loud applause.) After the applause with which the address was received had subsided, Madame Catalani was again led on the stage by Mr. Elliston, and she sang two verses of " Rule Britannia" with the most surprising animation. The listeners would hare thought that the Genius of England inspired her, while she poured forth the melody of this Anthem with an ardour and devotion for freedom which is alone be found in this " isle of beauty" and of well-attempered liberty. We have however to ask, why the kwincipal sing ers did not join in the chorus? It'hy all decency to Madame Catalani was violated in suffering Abe ill-dressed refuse of the theatre to be her only companions on the stage? 11 7 hy at least the performers who played for the evening did not at- tend ? And why the public are to be insulted by the ,absence of those persons whose duty it should be. to aid in every case, where the national honour and glory are concerned ? 7wo Wires, era Hint to Hushonds, followed, in which Harley, as usual, was highly diverting, After ene conclusion of " Rule Britannia," we should have a'.ated that Mr. Elliston again addressed the audience, anal 'rutted, that in consequence of the overflow of the night, —no doubt materially influenced by the presence anal exer tions of Madame Catalani,—the same performances we uld be repeated to-morrow (this evening). We had nearly omitted to state that Miss Cubitt was encored in the song of " Bid me discourse." This ungenerous irony was toro severe ; fair, although Miss Cubitt cannot rank amongst the higher melotlists at Old Drury, or els e where, she gene- Tally makes herself useful. Were her pretensions higher, we should not notice this ill-timed and unnecessary call, on the part of certain portions of the audience, for an encore of', a song almost peculiarly the property of another lady of ' `unequalled talent ; but it becomes the bounden duty of the British press to rescue from undeserved attack a female who has many claims on public approbation. NEW SURREY THEATRE. Last night two new pieces were produced at this theatre, for the amusement of the holiday folks, and, judging of the applause excited by the representations, they were both highly successful. The first was entitled, Genet-Sere ; or, The Murderer 11f the l'yreuees. It was announced in the I bills as a " tnelo-drama of great interest, founded on a re- 1 cent occurrence in France." In point of fact, it was a piece of considerable merit, though all the praises bestowed on it by the manager might not be deserved. But the principal attraction of the evening was a new version of, our o ld friend Doctor Faustus. This " grand. terrific, . and legendary romance," opened with a view of Pande monium, in which Satan, in oropria persom.2, lays the plot' fur the purchase of the Do c tors soul, by the fatal " corn- pact of bliod." The Doctor's insatiable thirst for know ledge and power easily induces him to tall into the snare, i and, for four-and-twenty years' unlimited enjoyments, he sells himself for ever after. The Doctor and his diabolical guide then set out on their travels in , search of pleasure ; but fur some reason, best known to the author, the Doctor's adventures are confined to the ~ seduction of a girl, whose brother he murders for that purpose. The glass of Time, however, runs out, and the I wretched Adept is hurried to his destiny by the demons to whom he has sold himself. We have then another view of the infernal regions, "on a scale of magnitude never before attempted," and the audience are sent home to "sup full of horrors." Rowbotham enacted the unhappy Doctor with some skill, and H. Kemble played the Devil 1 . with becoming spirit. Airs. W. Cliftbrel was not wholly ! without merit in the part she Bust:lint:el. The gods in the gallery were unusually nois:, and we presume, therefore, happier than ordinary. Catalani repeats her four songs this evening ; snd we have little doubt that the receipts will equal Mr. Ellis ton's night.—We perceive that the Managers have adver tised the exact entertainments of last night, so that these who were disappointed in gaining admission yesterday, will still have an opportunity of seeing " The Ilypoctitc," and the other popular performances.
