LONDON, SATURDAY, Jui.v 17, 1824. 'f he Paris Papers of %I=day contain some further I despatches from South America, in which additional (lie- I ii,:eta; are announced to have lawfallen the patriots. It is I tae to our redden that we should state at once that this int.riligance is copied by the Efoile from the Medri.l Gazette; and, for reasons we assigned very lately, we shall Cie-refire only briefly add, that this news is not praended to be alicia. It is, perhaps, fitting to trace the progress of these elaborate falsehoods, so far as to mention, that are now told that Bolivar's defeat is confirmed, and that be had tried to gain the woods with the remains or his army ; that Valdivia, en the coast of Chili, has been recaptured by a r4yalist expedition under Quintanilla, and that Generals Vitoria and Santa Anna had revolted a7,aiairt the Mexican ((supple ! What effect these assertions may produce on the Continent, where they dare not be contradicted, we know not ; but here 'hey are too palpably gross and ft-di ctator's to excite any other feeling than sheer contempt. The Austrian Observer states that the Capitan Paella, after landing 2,000 men on the island of Negropont, had em barked 6,000 Albanians at Salonica, in order to make an attack on Samos. We regret to ohs: Tye, that the dissentious among the Greek chiefs are noticed in all the accounts. The son of the Viceroy of Egypt has been appointed Governor of 1i 6 10 6 the Mores. This waull be a tempting bribe to insure tile' fidelity of a suspicious subject, if the G overnment did not too much resemble the Catholic Bishoprics in partihusl In the French Chamber of Deputies, the secret expenses of the police of Paris were under dileussion. M. de la Bourtlonnaye had opposed the item with great earnestness, and moved its rejection. The Keeper of the Seals had spoken in its defence, and the debate was ad journed. The details of expenditure seem in all legislative bodies to have become the principal subjects of considera tion. All parties are agreed, or by the force of circum stances are obliged to seem agreed, on the general principles of Government ; the only question that remains is, the humbles province of scrutinising estimates, and saving pence. By advices received yesterday, by the Asia, from Cal cutta, it appears that hostilities have been commenced in India, by an irruption on the part of the Burmese into the British territories. After several skirmishes, a detachment of the Company's troops, stationed near the river Bratnah pootra, had been repulud with some less. The Bengal Government had ordered all the shipping in the river Hoogly to be taken up for the conveyance of an armament of 30,000 men, which was fitting out to be landed on the coast of Aramn. The Moira and five other ships had also been taken up at Madras for the same purpose, and every exertion was making to send off the expe dition with the utmost despatch. The Burmese are a bold and warlike people, and it is expected that the contest with thrill will be long, burdensome, and difficult. Dur ing the last seventy years they have been continually en gaged is a course of desperate struggles, by which they have obtained a well-disciplined body of veteran soldiery. Their character, too, is unlike that of the neighbouring Ilindoos. The Burmese are an enterprising, inquisitive, crucible, and impatient race. They arc skilled in poetry and music, and their language is enriched with an abund ance of historical and scientific works. Their religion is Budhians. In no respect are they more strikingly contra distinguished from other Oriental nations than in the treat ment of their women, who, instead of being imprisoned in ha vens, are allowed to mix in general society with European freedom. 'Thekingdom of Burmah was subdued in 1732 by the Peguese, and the Burman monarch was carried into cap tivity, and in • f.-w years murdered. The Burmese, ' how ever, were delivered from the yoke of their conquerors by one of their countrymen natr.ztl Alompra, who had been suffered to retain a small command in the northern part of the kingdom. The struggle continued with various suc cess for about four years, when, by a very singular for tune, it was terminated by the conquest of the Peguese themselves, in 1757. Alompra reigned till 1760, when he , died prosecuting his ambitious designs for extending his away. His successors, who have rarely been long in a state of peace, have added the other provinces, which now con stitute the vast and powerful Burman empire. With such a foe, hostilities will not, we fear, be easily brought to a successful conclusion. The territory cannot be penetrated without considerable dang r. Every precaution must be used to guard against the wiles of an experienced enemy, and the hostile feeling of a numerous and hardy popula tion, well provided with the materials of war. New York papers to the 95th ult. were received at our office last night. Among the articles of rather singular interest in these papers, is a report of a inming, at New York, to take into consideration some propositions of Presi dent Boyer for colonising the free negroes of America in the Island of St. Domingo. It was objected that the proximity of Hayti to the southern states of the union, and the facility of communication between the negrocs , in the two countries, would be highly (Ls:Tereus to the peace and safety of the Southern States. A committee was finally appointed to report to an adjourned meeting ; but it is remarkable, that on all hands the greatest anxiety was expressed to get rid of the free negroes by foreign colo nization ; a clear proof that, desirous as the citizens of the United States are to augment their white population, they art not less desirous to diminish their black popula tion. NEW YORK, JVNE 24. It is reported that the British Government has it in contempla. tioa to disunite the civil and militu v goy, rnmcnts of India and the Canada*. It is added, that " the Earl of thlhousie is selected for the highly honourable and important station of Cnnimander.in- Chief in India, and that the lion. Sir Francis Ilugon, now Lieu tenant (invernor of Low's Canada, is to be placed at the head of ti.e Civil Governtucta of that part of his Majesty's dominions." l'n t..mr.Lrit lA. JUNE 22.. The ship of the line North Carolina is fitting out at Norfolk, and the frigate Constitution at New York. Commodore Rogers is going out in the former ship, to take com•rar.d of the aqua droll in the 3letliterranean. Commodore Chaancry is to take the command at the Nary Yard at New York, and Captain Junes at this port. A steam boat Kati commenced ranning on the Eric canal, between Utica and Rochester. The fare, including board and lodging, is advertised at three cents per mile. The certainty, the cheapness, and thecomfort of this mode of travelling, gives it a decided pre fere ice to any other. When the Erie Canal is finished, a barrel of flour can be transported from Buffalo to New York for one dollar. It is now carried trout Albany to New York for seven cents per barrtl. A hundred of rods can now lir conveyed from the ciry of New York to Columbus, in the state of Obit), for three dollars and fifty cents. - - Mr. Ilaskett, of Utica, advertises earthenware, front Liverpool, repacked at Utica at the New York wholesale prices, without any charge for transportation (nearly •2W miles from New YGri:), "the low price of portage on the Canal" being too inconsiderable to be regarded.

Another new piece was brought out at this prolific little Theatre last night, and, in spite of the hot weather, was completely successful. The author is Mr. Poole, and this I piece, Married aid Singiebsbough inferior to his delight ful comedy of Simpson and Co., is, in many respects, very creditable to his reputation. Whether it is a translation from the French or not, we will not venture to decide, but whoever would call any modern English drama an original must be a bold person indeed. We suspect, however, that the character of Beau Shatter!, is borrowed from le ci dread Jeune Honune. The plot is full of bustle and inci dent, though by no means temarkable for simplicity. It turns upon the fortunes of an uncle (Mr. Shallerly) and a nephew ( Mr. Afelfinl). The uncle is an old beau of six ty, who would be thought a dashing young gallant of ix and-twenty. 'file nephew is a common-place, quiet youth. who is guilty of no other sin than that of owing two hundred pounds to a merciless creditor. A scheme is laid to entrap him by sending two bailifti in a coach, who are to send up to him a message to come down to two ladies who are waiting. The uncle, considering it an affair of in trigue, accepts the invitation in his nephew's name (Mel.. fort), is arrested, and put in a sponging-house. The debt and costs are paid by the uncle before he can obtain his liberation. In the mean time the unlucky old beau has offended a hot-headed Irishman, who sends him a challenge, which, being addressed to Mr. Mellort, falls into the ne phew's hands. In order to save himself from the jeers of the town, the uncle agrees to discharg e his nephew i debts. There is the necessary quantity of the epsiodical incident, such as the obstreperous biterference of Mrs. Shalterly, from whom the uncle had been for some years separated, and who is by him mistaken for a lady of light character. Young Melfart, too, has clove affair with a fond, jealous girl ; and there is a married couple who are always talking of the serenity and fondness of their domestic life. and who always end their cooings with a quarrel. The piece ends with the reconciliation of all parties. It was very success ful indeed. From the commencement to the fall of the curtain not a murmur of dissent was heard. Indeed it could not well be otherwise. The incidents were nume rous and ever on the move. The dialogue was smart, and some of the characters very well conceived and happily sketched out. The part of Beau Sliatlerly—good in ides—was excellent in the performance. Farren never played better. His tits s', face, manner, were all ini mitable. It was wholly unlike his previous acting, and exhibited a capacity we had hitherto doubted—that of playing any thing except Lord Oglelry. This part was the great support of the piece, and, with such a prop, it would not tremble for a moment. Mrs. Giover and Mr. Pope, in the ultra-happy couple, were respectable enough, but the parts were make-weights, and afforded no great scope for talent. Cooper, in Atell;ot, was lively, gentle manly, and 'corral. Mr. Vining had the character of a bustling, impudent, officious valet to perform, and he was bustling, impudent, and ofiizious. There was a sucking attorney, one Master Ferrel, which Mr. West played to the life. Ile seemed to have lived in one of the, small Inns of Court all his life, and to have never had an idea beyond a rapids and a bill of costs. His garb and manner were exquisitely real. Wc trembled for our personal safety with such a person before us. Mrs. Shatter& was represented by Mrs. C. Jones—a very clever woman in chambermaids and vixens, but not precisely fitted for lady-like parts. True, Mrs. Shatter& was not very lady like, but she had at least, from her condition in life, the outward appearance of a gentlewoman. Mrs. T. Hill, in Fanny, had only to look pretty, and that she did with all her might. 'f he piece was extremely well played, and a crowded house bestowed on it the warmest approbation. Mr. Elliston played Sir Charles Racket, on Monda, at the Birmingham theatre, " and a glorious reception ('says the Birmingham Chronicle) the house gave him. Ife we were Oil to see him in apparent good health, and were, as usual, delighted with his spirited and g;mtletnanly performance. Th:.• Lady Rarb't of Miss Jarman was a tine specimen of light and elegant comedy, and was de servedly applauded." Mrs. Bunn is playing at the Birmingham theatre with great success. Mr. Kean is expected to perform at Dublin about the end of July. . . . _ . Mr. Betty is engaged for a limited nurnbcr of nights at the Southampton Theatre. 11: makes his first appearance on the Yd of next month. FUNLRAL or LORD BYRON.—The Lincoln -Hero , ry of yesterday says--‘' The remains of Lord Byron, which • were removed ftom Great George-street, Westminswr, ou Moiday morning, passed through Uppingham on Wednes day, and lay in state at the Crown inn, at eakham, that evening, on the road to the &Indy cemetry, Newstead Ab bey, Nottinghamshire. The body was in a hearse drawn by six horses, and followed by three mourningeoadbui and six the whotk - 11MM/ea birT g ler horsemen. At nine o'clock yesterday morning Wpassed through Melton Mow bray ; it was to reach Nottingham last night, and this day the body is to he entombed." The health of Mr. Serjeant Lens, we understand, is such as deeply to affect the friends of that excellent lawyer and independent man. Tire Rev. Mn. COLTON.—In copying the following article from the Franklin Gazelle, we have to add (says the Neer Fork Gazelle of June 21), that it is a fact that Mr. Colton is in Philadelphia :—Mr. Editor, A paragraph has just met my eye, as copied from the New int I: Errs:- l'tut, which states, on the authority of a letter from I Charleston, that the Rev. C. C. Colton, anthorof Lacon, whose mysterious departure from London has excited con-1 sidcrahle speculation, had left that city on his return home, in consequence of letters from his attorneys giving favour able accounts of his finances. Permit me through your columns to state, that eh cumstances have raa tit), conic to my knowledge which induce a belief that this eccentric individual is now in this city. Caere.% r. ix New Vol:tr.—lt is stated in the Past, that the whole capital of the monied institutions of this city ammo's to the enormous. rum of thirly-.,is millions six hundred thousand dollars. The Editor rationally con- eludes, that when the new applicants (47 in number) oh- 1 tain their charters, the fabric, not being able to bear its ' own weight, will tumble. The present number of monied institutions in operation is .Si—app!itsi for 17—total tot. Total capital about 56 millions of dollars !—mete Tod; Palmer. Vauxhall Gardens offer at this period amusement and comfort of the most enviable It scription—a cool and fasci nating retreat from the oppressively warm weather. The pantomime, concert, magniticeht fire-works, and astonish ing French juggler, draw together nightly crowds of fashionable,. A splendid gala is in prepsration for the Coronation night, Monday next.

I mentio-ed in my letter, dated July 8, the death of our good Queen. foe King, having lost his consort, was much agitated by the fatal shock, and. unable to support the weight his manly bosom experienced, he died. my dear Friend, and lett us to lament the virtues we so often admired in him. You well know my feelings, and the reason I have to de. plate the loss of such true trietidsli;p. All the physicians could do, all we could say by way of consolation. availed nothing ; be told me. more than once, that all the support the English nation could give him was in vain. The fatal bargain, my dear Friend, was made, and he sunk to rise no more. Their bodies will be re moved to the tandwieh Islamis, to give you and the whole of our nation satisfaction, that every thing was done by the English Oo reemnent and private Gentlemen to promote oar comiort, and assist our unfortunate Monarch. Even the King of England sent his own physicians, and the noble Dnke of York his surgeon ; and every thing that England produced was at our command. You will much regret, with myself, that circumstances prevented his having an interview with the King of Er,gland, who kindly ex praised his hope (through his physicians) that our King would console himself, and Dot sink under his affliction, and that his Moat Gracious Majesty would give our King an interview as soon as his health was restored. I hope you arc well ; and that ye shall be able to continue to labour for your wafare, is the wish of "Yours truly, "JOHN 11. RIVE& " To Mr. Pitt. Prime Minister at the Sandwich Islands, or Krimaku." KING AND QUEEN OF THE SANDWICH 151 AND3.—The wet weather was, in all probability, the cause of this Royal couples' death ; the damp atmosphere acting upon the lungs, alrea3y pte-disposed to inflammation by the change of temperature, exerted a strong degree of action in the blood-vessels, and nothing but copious bleeding and blisters could have saved their lives ; but white the damp ness of the atmosphere continued, no medical treatment could avail.—Medicol Some remains of James 11. have been discovered in three leaden boxes, in the course of excavations for a foundation of a steeple of a church of St. Germain, at Paris, with this inscription :—" Here is a portion of the flesh and noble parts of the body of the most high, puissant, and illustrious, and most excellent Prince James Stuart. second 'of the name, King of Great Britnin, born 23d October, 1633, deceased in Fence, at St. Germain-en-Lsye, Sep tember 16, 1/01."—The boxes are removed to the chief altar.

REw Aim or INT orrionv.—We last week (says the Limes-pod Caarier)briefly stated the melancholy fact of se veral people having been drowned in the Printer's Dock, by being precipitated from a stage. The young man who was mainly instrumental in raving the lives of so many indivi duals, by his undaunted and highly meritorions conduct on that melancholy occasion, is a carpenter, named Ed wards, a native of the United States, and belongs to the ship Haleyea. Considtrin ,, the small space in which the unfortunate individuals, ab out thirty in number, were con fined, it being little inure than an area of a few yards, it is wonderful that many more did not lose their lives. The cung man threw himself into the midst of them, and suc leteded in plating ropes round the bodi, s of the major part !of those who were saved. At ene time, we arc infonmd, five persons had hold of, or were upon hini ; he, however, fortunately sue ereded in disentengling himself from their grasp, and continued his praiseworthy exertions in resent ing his fellow-creatures from a premature death. It is bu i Justice to state, that all the assistance that could be ren dered was given by the crews of the surrounding vessels, and by persons on the quay, by the lowering of ropes. Fee. :.11 this would, however, have been of cemparatively little use, had not seine one been in the water to render such assistance available.
