The lln TI su PuEss commenced publishing yesterday morning at live o'clock. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 182.1. The Paris Papers of Sunday contain very little news; but they are not therefore void of interest. They are filled with discussions on the politics of Europe and America, which at this moment are highly important, as making known to us the feelings and sentiments of the great poli tical parties into which France is divided. We have ex tracted in a separate form, a long and able article from the Journal des Debats, the organ of the Ultra-Royalist oppo sition. If we see a temperate and reasonable course ad vocated by that paper, we may be sure that the pacific system of M. DE VILLELE will not be interrupted. The roeresatile and manufacturing interests must be decidedly with him ; and if his scheme for indemnifying the emi grants should be adopted, they will also be among the most strenuous supporters of peace, as war, or any serious preparations for war, would absorb the funds from which they are to receive their indemnity. The turbulent party will, by this stratagem, be bound in recognizances to the amount of their whole Property, to be of good behaviour for five years at least. The Etuite attempts to justify the good faith of the French Ministry in their negotiations with the Haytian Government. It taxes the Cour rier Francais, which, with equal spite and absurdity, it calls the " official journal of St. Domingo," with having unfairly suppressed the Royal Ordinance communicated by M. DE CLERMONT TONNERRE to the Haytian Deputies. This document, we are told, " otrntained clauses favourable to the colonists, favourable even to the present inhabitants of St. Domingo, and we. adverse only to the pretensions of BON ER and the Ilaytian Government." The Etoile infers that the Ilaytian Pre sident was afraid that the people should know the pro visions of this Ordinance. Does this French Journalist then really suppose that the people of Hayti do not under stand that an attack m their Government is not an attack ou their independence? He is mistaken, or, more pro bably, It pretends to be so. In the Cuurrier Ft ancuis we have some confirmatory details of the unhappy dissensions among the Greeks, and of their further successes over the Egyptian fleet, under I a twills PACHA. The prosecution instituted against this journal (the Courritr Francais) for having copied on the eth of October, 182'.3, fram the English papers, an official oloeument of the Spanish Cortes, has been concluded favourably to the responsible; editor. By the Tribunal of Correctional Police he was found guilty of a seditious I:bel, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment, and a foe of 3000 Mars. Ile appealed to the Cour Royale, . here, inconsequence of the explanations he gave, and the e:tered situation of political afaira, the judgment of the Court below was annulled. The proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies on Sunday were entirely without interest; a few petitions only were It appears from the letters of cur Paris Correspondent, tl.at the prujet de la for awarding a compensation to the e nigrants is pregnant with difficulties, which M. us Vir fel tile as he is in resources, iweins ill able to cope with. We de riot woader at this: such a measure, r: this ileitis of the affrirs of France, is not only most ill-jeulge.!, but is unwarranted by any principle either of justice or oneaking. 11 was the duty of these Royalists, at the breaking out of the Revolution, to have applied all the in_ fluenee of their personal situation to sustain the cause of their Sovereign and their country; instead of which, they fled from the scene of conflict, and abandoned both to their fate. It was the opinion of those best versed in the affairs of that convulsed period, that if the army which might have teen raised by the Royalist party, if the Frenth noblemen had remained in the country, it would have been more than sufficient to have subdued the Re publican insurgents, and to have kept Louis XVI. on his throne. If they had remained in the country, they would have kept in check that insurrectionary spirit which grew ferocious beyond control, when those who should have fought against it to the last were the first to fly before it. The Royalist forces raised at different times by some high-spirited individuals, in Poitou, in Brittany, and in Anjou, sufficiently showed what might have been done, had the Nobles, whose selfish and Miscalculating policy led them to emigrate, been governed by manlier feelings, and leagued themselves, as they might and ought to have done, to the fate and fortunes of the monarchy. No body of men ever put forward a claim to indemnity with less title to have it granted. Messrs. DE ViLtete anti D Co ant /RES have contrived, by means of bribery, chicane, and intrigue, to secure a majority of the Deputies; but in what will this effective alliance Letween the Ministry and the emigrants end? They have already introduced all the evils of faction into the Government. M. DS VILLELL, though without any great powers of mind, is not wanting iu sagacity, and has a fair share of foresight ; lie is well aware that the great body of proprietors will not listen to any talk of res:itution ; he feels the weight of their power to be very heavy in the scale against him, and that the instant his movements indicate anything like a determined hostility, he will be found too weak to defend himself either by stratagem or force, and his fall from pow:r is certain. Among those very emigrants who so importunately pre fer their claims of compensation, there arc a considerable number now in France, who, having served in foreign corps, raised in England, and employed by us during the revolutionary war, are, at this moment, receiving half pay from our Government, as Lieutenants and Captains; as Colonels and Marechala de Camp, they are receiving fall pay in France, or are holding the most lucrative civil appointments. We know that many thousand persons, long employed in the different departments of the State, have been dismissed, and reduced to absolute want, while the vacancies thus created have been given to the emigrant party, whose pretensions seem to increase in arrogance with every additional concession made to satisfy them. The important intelligence reached town yesterday, that the Spanish General CAN TA RAC has been completely de feated by Bouvaa, on the plains of Jauja, or Xauxa, as it is indifferently written in the loose Spanish orthography. The contest, it appears, was of the most sanguinary cha racter, the two Generals having given orders, previous to the battle, to spare none. For four hours the bayonets on each aide did their murderous work without intermission. Finally the Royalists were driven from the field, after sustaining a less of 6,200 men. Boxt VA R himself has had 4,000 of his faithful veterans killed. Never before were the plains of America so drenched with human blood. The victory is decisive of the fate of South America. Bortvoir is marching with his utmost rapidity towards Cuzco, where be hopes to surprise the Viceroy Loszaxo, who is there 1 reposing in fancied security. The last intelligence we had heard of CANTAR•C was, that he had fortncd a junction with the Viceroy at Andaguaylas. As Jauja is northward of Huanta, the head-quarters from which Bo LIV•R'S des patches, announcing the skirmish at Junin, were dated, it is probable that the Colombian warrior had induced the Spanish Generals to separate by falling back hastily, and having thus drawn CANTA sac alone after him into the snare, he had turtlesl round on his pursuers, and destroyed them. This news, to interesting and valuable at this moment, when the attention of Europe is particularly fixed on the New World, was brought to Liverpool on Monday by the Flora, from Buenos Ayres, which she left on the 14th of November. When she was about to sail, a deputation of the inhabitants came after her in a boat, and requested the Captain to wait one hour, as the mail had just arrived from Valparaiso with the joyful intelligence of the entire over throw of the Spaniards in Peru. The following extract from a Mendoza paper of the 28th of October, gives the substance of this information : NEWS FROM PERU, Communicated from the city of Santiago by Senor Don Juar de Dios Vial del Rio. President of the Court of Appeals, in a letter to Don Rafael Ruts de Arbulic, in the vicinity of the Andes : •• SANTIAGO, OCTOBER 7. " We have just received the news of the sanguinary battle which has been fought between Bolivar and Carnotite, on the plains of Jauja, and which, in America, has never yet been equalled : it was contested for four hours with the bayonet. The loss of Bolivar amounts to 4,000 men ; that of the enemy to 6,200. Bolivar had marched rapidly towards Cuzco, in order to fall upon the Viceroy Laserna, who was there in full security, not expecting hint. Let us five. thanks to God, to whom we owe all these advantages ! The ship which brought this news came from Callao, and we learn from her that the enemy's troops had abandoned Lima, and shot themselves up in Callao; in consequence of which, the people of Lima, in order to prevent the city from being quite sacked, had solicited the commander of the English ship, Cambridge, to land 100 men to remain there, and protect them from their troublesome neighbours. • Every moment we expect intelligence front Truxillo, front whence we shall have the details. Cantarac declared before the battle that he would give no quarter (la erred a muerte), and Bolivar did the same, not so much by the wish of his arm), as be cause it was necessary to follow the example of the enemy. This, without doubt, was the cause of the great slaughter. •• JUAN DE 1)105 DEL Rto." EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED BUENOS AYRES, NOV. 14. •• The mail from Chili brings intelligence of Bolivar having defeated the Spanish General Cantarac—the former losing 4,000 men and the latter 6,200. The battle took place in Peru, on the Plains of Jauja; and when the news reached Lima, the Spanish troops that were in that city instantly retired to the fortress of Cal. lao, leaving the rabble committing all manner of depredations, until the Captain of the Cambridge, 74, landed part of his crew, which had the desired effect of quelling the rioters, and protecting the lives and properties of the respectable citixens." A fortnight ago we expressed our opinion that " the Government of the Netherlands would be the next, and at no great distance of time, to recognise the independence of the American Republics." We learned yesterday, upon good authority, that the step we anticipated is even now taken. The Government of the Netherlands, we under stand, has resolved immediately to follow the example of this country with respect to the new States of South America; and to compensate as it were for the delay, such as it is, the Dutch Government intend to make a wider sweep with the measure of their recognition. Mexico, Colombia, Buenos Ayres, Chili, and Brazil, will be included in its range. France must disengage herself from the trammels of the Holy Alliance, and adopt the same policy, unless the pre sent French Government is absurd enough to exclaim, with one of its ephemera) predecessors, " Ptrish commerce ra ther than a principle !" Even the Ultra-Royalists, in oppo sition to M. IVs Vi t, however, begin to talk very rem mob) j on this stih: , . ct, as our readers will ace by the sound and ft'le article w: Imre extracted from the Journal drs abuts; and it iy ther:r.,re not improbable that the ru mour well-Count led that a message will shortly be sent down to the French Chambers relative to the question _.. " THE BRITISH PRESS. of South American independence. M. DE VILLELE will gladly avail himself of the representative forms of the Government to get lid of the awkward and embarrassing ties by which be is bound to Spain, and the Great Powers of the Continent. The question then may be considered as settled. Mr.CAxmi so has triumphed, apparently with out an effort, and the Holy Alliance is virtually dissolved. Advice, were yesterday received from Bombay by the Lonach to the Sib of September, and from Bengal by the Atlas to the 17th of August. These vessels have brought papers to those dates, but the intelligence for the most part has already reached us. The principal event of import ance is the evacuation of Ramoo by the Burmese. This was the post in which they bad stockaded themselves a little within our territory on the side of Chittagong. The abandonment of this station is ascribed to the alarm ex cited at the Court of Ave by the capture of Rangoon, and our continued successes in every encounter with the enemy. An impression seems to have been made upon them haughty barbarians, which we hope may render the war less sanguinary and expensive than it was sometime ago considered likely to be. Our military renown has evidently not in the least declined. The British arms arc as drca:- ful to those against whom they are turned as at any period in the history of our Indian empire. In the Bengal papers we have only some fresh versions of the capture of the island of Cheduba, which we have known in Europe now more than two months. 'We have given in a separate article an intercstingac count of the late dreadful earthquake in Persia. The case of Cox e. Keav, which filled the journals or yesterday, is of a somewhat curious description. OVID has taught us the Art 'f T.ore, but our tragedy hero has clearly never studied it in the classic school, since he manifestly sets all the rules of the science at nought. In the modern process of making love, with out sex at least, it lasts as long as it is making, and no longer. Amidst the heroics of the tender passion, a fair share of absurdity is pardonable,—pardonable, at least, is that unreflective season of youth, in which the errors of humanity have a claim to be considered with lenity. But even riper years and more mellowed experience go for nothing apparently, in the regions of Crim. COIL CUPID'S gsrland is made up seemingly of all sorts of flowers: the fresh and the faded all link lovingly together in the same wreath. It is very extraordinary, but, however we may account for it, it really appears as if Love has ceased to inspire its votaries as formerly, and suffers their insane stupidity to take its full swing, in revenge, as it were, for the silliness or the sensuality of their amours. A man of sense, under the in fluence of a sincere and honourable attachment to an in dividual of the opposite sex, writes to her with the full possession of all that reason, and of thore moral feelings which govern him in the other concerns of life : but no sooner does he yield to the inflaenee of a vicious and irregular amour, than all his lure letters seem pained by an idiot; however grave he may be naturally, the tender passion seems to produce in him all sorts of antics, as quicksilver makes dumplins dance, that would otherwise have boiled on in the regular way. Epistles, exhibiting more maudlin, contemptible, slip-slop, than those of Mr. KEAN, we never before read ; never were the couplet more truly verified, that An eagle's wings were fored for flight, A goose's furnish quills—to write. They are not made up of nonsense running in an easy vein ; they bear the stamp, every one of them, of a vulgar mind and a cold heart. There is no mark about them even of guilty sincerity. Nothing can he more execrable than the following jargon, which mixes up the language of a dotard with the reasoning of an infidel:— " Friday, Aug. 2. (Post-mark Bth Aug. 1822.) " My Heart Strings—That you are mistress of my heart and fate, every moment of my life confirms. The world without you appears one vast and gloomy dungeon, and your letters are as sun beams through the grating of the prison house. I dwell on them with admiration. I fancy lam free, and for a moment lam bask. ing in the full meridian of niy wishes--the delirium subsides—l see the barriers that encompass me—my sun withdrawn (yourself) —and all again is left to shade and desolation. Oh GOD ! Charlotte, how I love you. If such a feeling is a crime, why are we given it ? I did not seek it--the POWER that will condemn has placed you in my war—the same inspiring hand that framed my better quali. ties pointed to you as the object of my love—my everlasting love. I must not doubt the justice of the great BEING, and hare little or no faith in the general tempter—whatever it be— • You are my fate--my Heaven or my Bell.' ON THE RECOGNITION OF THE INDEPEN- D.KNCE OF SOUTH AmEntee. [From the Jewrnal des Delta's of Sunday last.] -- - I'All3S, JAN.I6. A great cry of alum has been raised in consequence of the recognition of the Spanish American States. It is pretended that we may perceive in this mearure a triumph of 'evolutionary principles; that it is a signal for disclaiming the principle of legitimacy, and that it gives encouragement to all Colonies to revolt. However the question of the independence of the new States of America has been often and so fully treated upon in this journal, that, in order to bring it back to its real point of view, we need only recapitulate our previous arguments on the subject. It is the interest of civili zation and true lii)erty to support everywhere the legitimate autho rity against all usurpations effected by •iolence and disorder. So ciety will never be able to advance towards a state of peace and solidity, while the people are misled by the idea that revolt is the only road to liberty. But the legitimate power ought to fulfil the purposes for which it is designed without delay ; that is a con dition annexed to all authority ; so that if the religion, the insti tutions, the security of the territory, the preservation of the exist ence of the country as a nation, can no longer be reconciled with the extreme weakness, or the remote distance of the seat of the le gitimate authority, then these revolutions seem to come u the will of Heaven—." gide vent forstre celeste." Then the sceptre is trans ferred from the house of Saul to the house of l)svid ; for society must subsist ; that alone is clothed in the character of absolu'e le gitimacy ; that alone is necessary to the world, and which ema nates from God alone. In applying these principles to Spanish America, it is not ne cessary for us at present to inquire whether Spain have governed it well or ill, a question obscured first by the calumnies of a false philosophy, but certainly an idle question, since the Americans were contented with their situation ; they had not revolted for ages, and their actual separation from their mother country was not the effect of an insurrection directed against the legitimate King. it was the destruction of the throne of the Bourbons of Spain—it was the prolonged captivity of the legitimate Monarch—it was the total dissolution of the Spanish monarchy, which in 1810 com pelled all the men of influence among the Spaniards of Americ a to embrace a society separated from its legitimate Chief. It was even in the name of Ferdinand VII., and conformably to his order addressed to the Council of Castile, that the first American Juntas proclaimed their independence of every Government residing in Europe. at the same time that they invoked with their most ardent wishes the presence either of Ferdinand or of one of his brothers. The separation of the Americas was directed not against legitimacy, but against the usurpation of Joseph ; years passed over, public opinion became divided, the commercial interest in some of the cities was anxious for an organization aims. lay to that of the Hanseatic towns ; the proprietors of the soil and the Catholic Clergy rejected all republican ideas, and the princi pal States, even whilst adopting the external forms of a republic, preserved their old civil and religious institutions, which, as well as the manners and facial existence of these people, are incom patible with the ideas of political equality and religious in difference. But Ferdinand was restored to the throne of his ancestors. Why did not the Americans throw themselves im. mediately at the feet of their legitimate King? They have done so, at least a great portion of them, but they have done it se free, as enlightened nations, who understand the principle of legitimacy in its true sense, as a principle of society, not as the mys terious expression of an absolute hereditary power. They have said to King Ferdinand, " We are, we wish to remain, Spaniards ; we attach ourselves once more to your throne, distant as it is, but we require that you guarantee to us the improvements of our insti tutions, of which we have tasted the beneficial results. We ask for local representation and a certain liberty of commerce. These conditions, just, wise, and, in all respects calculated to support the true interests of legitimacy, were repelled with all the arrogance of incapacity. The avaricious Camarilla grasped at ab solute power ; that it might partake of the plunder of the Americas, it transported to the new Continent armies adequate to conquer, but who could not retain their conquests. America, ravaged, exas perated, became more and more alienated from the mother country . There were, moreover, some loyal and generous propositions which failed to effect a reconciliation between the countries. There was proposed in the second Session of the Cortes at Madrid a plan of union, which had for its foundation a representative system, local as well as general, under the supreme authority of the King, who was to take the title of Emperor of the confederation of the Spains and the Americas, having for Viceroys the Princes of the Blood. At a later period, Mexico, the moot important portion of Spanish America, declared itself ready to acknowledge either the King him. self or one of his brothers, Frovided he established his resi dence in the country. The most considerable persons at Buenos Ayres, at Guatiniala, at Lima, repeatedly expressed their anxiety to see a Bourbon at their head. All these loyal propositions—all these views cf sound policy, were sacri ficed to the chimera of nn absolute legitimacy, as if there could be any thing absolute upon the earth as if there was any right which was not subject to conditions--as if reason could ever approve of a principle being acted on which was in direct opposi tion to all moral and physical possibility. Such has been the cotulact of Spain to the Americas. Now what has been the policy of France and England, the only two great posers who, having a considerable navy, could have inter fered in an efficient manner—let us consider what have been the duties and the interests of these two Powers? The Treaty of Chaumont, which was the basis of the alliance of the five great Powers, imposes upon England the duty of repressing every attempt of renewing those troubles, springing from the anarchical prin ciples of the French Revolution. We have seen that the indepen dence of Spanish America is not founded upon revolutionary spirit, but, upon the contrary, it was first provoked by a legitimate resist ance to usurpation, and afterwards continued by the Woad of the ancient authority to give any guarantee to those people, whom an event, independent of their inclinations, had placed under new institutions. England represented to the Cabinet of Madrid the necessity and the utility of treating with nations not actually in a state of rebellion. Spain refused this wise counseL England then declared herself neutral; site denied to both the belligerent pantie the power of recruiting or making hostile preparations upon British sM. This was an injurious denial to the Americans ; she renewed her offers of mediation ; they are once more refused. She an. nounces that she will wait sonic months, to give Spain time to arrange her affairs. She has waited a year ; her duties to Europe are fulfilled ; but England has also duties to perform towards the Americas, which, with the consent of the Royalist Regency of Spain, she supported in 11110 against the efforts of the partisans of Joseph. She has also duties towards her own subjects, to whom at the period above mentioned she gave encouragement to furnish arms and ammunition to ail the subjects risen against the Usurper. The consequence of these connexions has been the employment of great English capital in American commerce. England has fulfilled this double duty in regulating, by commercial treaties, her existing re lations with America, and she cannot conclude a treaty with a State without acknowledging the fact of its independent existence. The interest of England, as a free, industrious, and commercial nation, is comprised in these words, liberty, civil, religious, and commercial, throughout the entire world. Let us now con. skier what have been the duties and interests of France As a Member of two great European Alliances, it owed all its cf. forts and all its course!, to the re-establishment and consolidation of general order. As a Constitutional Monarchy it ought in justice to itself to have assisted in effecting a state of peace between the rights of thrones and the rights of the people. It owed to the glory of its ancient and national dynasty the maintaining the Bourbons upon the greatest possible number of thrones; it owed, in short, to the prosperity of the French nation the increase of our channels for exporting the products of our manufactures, and the extension of our commercial activity. In enumerating its duties, we have enumerated its interests. Nothing was more easy than to have per formed the one, and to have secured the other. France, too wise not to have judged it impossible to regain America by arms, ought to have essentially applied to the preserving of that which could have been so easily preserved in the American colonies—the monarchical government and the dynasty of the Bourbons. We epealija of the Catholic Church, which in that country defends itself, aid governs, even now, all the other moral powers. It was by instantly enlightening the Cabinet at Madrid, and in case of failing to do that, by supporting the plans of the American landed Aristocracy, and of the Catholic Clergy. for creating at 3lexico, lam s , a nd B uenos .1 s res , three new tliwes, upon which there should be placed as many branches of the !louse at Bourbon. There It on Id then hare resulted a system " Hughes left Dublin yesterdit - y.." &c. And yet, within a short interval, we find this tone of sanctified infatuation changed to the following:— " If you are determined to distress ms continually with unnecea. nary accusations, on my soul I shall take you at your word—every thing I have in the world is now at stake, and by G— I will nut be bothered." -- - .4 What the devil is the matter with you, you little ? If you do not be quiet I will kick If I do not see yo u b e f ore I leave London, I will take care that you shall be with me shortly after, and will take care that Crooke shall have the needful." It seems that between love of a month old, and love of a twelve month old, la dTerenee eat grande. This truth may be proved by ample evidence., front the notes and letters which passed from Mr. KLAN to his "dear, dear, dear, dear, love," as he styles her; but they are so coarse, and so silly, that we cannot stain our columns by tran scribing them. Yesterday was settling day at the Stock Exchange, and it went off more quietly than these days usually do. Consols opened at 94 ex-dividend ; they declined very soon afterwards to 93t, and left off at 931; so that our readers will perceive there was but little variation in the price fora settling day, and the accounts were consequently arranges! without many long faces. Probably one cause for the tranquillity of the Stock Exchange on this generally bustling day arose from the public attention being absorbed in mining speculations, which have of late superseded in interest almost all stock transactions. Every security, however, of this description, was heavy throughout the day. AUSTRALIA?: COMPANY.—Yesterday a meeting of the Australian Cotnpany was held at the London Tavern. The Report was most favourable as to the state of the Company. It declared a balance of 10,000/. in the hands of the treasurer, although only 1/. per share has been yet paid. The shares arc at 401. premium.

II: " Within these two weeks past we have had several clouds of locusts, which are about two inches long, and it is feared will have done much mischief to the gardens about town, if not to the grain. We are sometimes troubled with a cloud of moths. I have seen the streets completely white with them, having been blown across the river, and die from the cold air at night on this side. Another most curious work of nature is, when the large ants take totwing at the close of the summer, after laying their eggs, they have the gradual use of their wings, and a few hours after are dead. What is the cause lam not naturalist sufficient to tell ; whether it is the call of nature, after fulfilling its work, or the sharp air upon the enfeebled insect, having undergone the change. I do not however recollect seeing any two days successively on the wing ; were it otherwise they would be a most destructive creature, being half an inch long and very strong insects. The country looks very fine, and we have a good prospect of an excellent harvest. It is reported that in a short time we shall have a new coinage out from England, both gold and silver, in which case it is supposed the bank notes will be called in.

England would have had no meansof opposing the wishes of the Spanish people of America ; neither would she have any interest is doing it, for good sense would have dictated to these new inocuth r the maxim of commercial liberty. The example of such an eman cipation would have given no advantage to revolutionary principl es, even though there were left some free cities in the vast whole. It would have extinguished those liabilities to political strife which the forced and unnatural aitustion of some of these republics aim presents. They would be combated by manners, customs, sod religion. This emancipation would have presented an event as fortunate for legitimate thrones as for civilised people. ?nis ta has done nothing either to fulfil its duties or to assure its interests. Whose is the fault ? Assuredly it is not that of France. le h es of all answer, the Ministers tell us, Can we believe that Eng!and, a Power with colonies, can ever think of acknowledging the inde. pendence of the Spanish colonies, so as to provoke a revolt en cl . own ? and no doubt you may, you ought to believe it. The taw which appears to have inspired its with such a fatal sloth, is founkd upon our ignorar.re of the English colonial system.

The latter are real nations, which cannot p a governed as colonies ; their emancipation, therefore, will not N A , the least influence upon the inhabitants of the English colonies. FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, JAN. I , The Court sill go into mourning on Tuesday next, for tiro weeks, on occasion of the death of his Majesty the King of c:e Two Sicilies. - The official journal of St. Domingo, the Cowrie, Front. pretends to use a wise restive on the part of President Boyer, in kg omission of the most important document among 11l those wl.. t h he has jtist published, the Royal Ordinance, which was commtri„ cated to Aleuts. Rouanez and Larose, by the Alinister of the ?la. rine. Truly that is a strange reserve, which lays before the pu.,,c the most insignilicant document*, even letters of no importance, std omits precisely the very document which it would hare been the most curious to know, that which caused the rupture of the negura. tiors. ‘Vhat most be inferred from this is, and we have airtl7 said so, that this paper contained clauses favourable to the cc,... niats—.favourable even to the present inhabitants of St. Doming: and that it was adverse only to the pretensions of Coyer and of :be Hayden Government. This is what Boyer did not wish the icta. bitanta of Hayti to know. The Journal der Debate has correspondents at Madrid and Vienna, by whom it is equally deceived. How ccekl the one sod it a long letter on pretended secret articles between France std Spain, and the other write that the Emperor t f Austria had aura. rised a Catholic community to become Protestant ? France std Spain have no need of secret articles between them, and the Ea. peror of Austria does not give such permissions. Two journals, it is evident with what view, say to-day, that re Minister is going to withdraw the two projects of law on the z. demnity and the rentes, because the Chamber of Deputies disw proves of them. It is remarkable, on the contrary, that the two Committees cep. pointed to examine the two projects, announce in the Chamber the perfect agreement with the Government which the King desired 111 his speech front the Throne. [From the Cuurrier Francais.] Coarr Dec. ?.8. A lamentable fatality appears to preside over the destinies of Greece. Scarcely has a glorious campaign terminated--a cam paign most favourable to the arms of her brave warriors, than Owls again distracted by internal dissensions. Colocotroni, that old enemy to all regular government, is now in open revolt against the Central Giverrunent established at Napoli de Romania. Ile has pistol his aon at the head of a numerous body of the factions, and a tan. guinary combat has taken place between the two parties under dm walls of Tripulitza. It is true, that the troops of Colocotroni wow defeated, and his son killed in the affair; but the event is not the less unfortunate to the cause of the Greeks. The siege of Pattaa, ' which was near surrendering, was interrupted, and the Turks have profited by the disorders which the civil war amongst their enemies has brought in its train. In Epirus and Thessalia, the affairs of the Greeks are in a more prosperous stnte. blavrosortlato rat Ilmari have gained some decisive advantages; PO much that at the date of the last advim from Arta, the troops of Otter Vrione, which had been a long time unpaid, had abandored their Chief. The Greek Gazettes contain the official accounts of the action with the Egyptian fleet, off Candice, on the 12th and 13th of Na vember last. On board some of the vessels of Ibrahim Pada were a number of European officers, which the Satrap of Egypt had taken into his pay. According to the last accounts, a divisim of this flea, which had sailed for Suds, was again attacked by tact Greeks, with the loss of several vessels. _ PAR IS, JAN. 16. There exists. at the present moment, much obscurity concerning , the diplomatic intrigues of which Lisbon is the teem. The English journals, whose communication with that capital is rot so quick, but more correct, titan ours, will not delay gis ing publicity to then mancestvres, and which cannot fail to be defeated by being merle known. It seems certain that Lisbon has been the theatre of a kind of revolution ; that there has been a sanguinary struggle between the partisans of the Queen and the supporters of the government cd John IV. and that at the termination of these commotions the King convoked the Cones. We do not yet know any details ef the circumstances and nature of these events, but the rumour has been circulated at Paris for several days past, and it acquired to much credit today, that we cannot believe it to be destitute of foundation. It is even said that Government has received positive Saturday afternoon the Earl of Harrowby left town on a visit to his brother, the Right lion. It.

A very interesting paper was read by Captain hater, on a new collimeter, an instru ment fur ascertaining correctly the line of collination, or the true level of a telescope, and which promises to be of pest utility in practical astronomy. The Fellows heard with pleasure, that the accounts of a failure of a practical appli cation of science, announced in sonic of the papers, was without foundation ; and were informed by their President, and by Fellows who had seen, or were acquainted with, the state of the Samarang, that the results were of the mc,c satisfactory kind. M. Thcnard's name was read as a foreign men d Nr of the Society ; and Mr. Bell and M. Snort shy admitted as Fellow.% Alderman ht Kenny, it seems, intends to be &candidate for the City of Dublin, at the next diction. Sir Abraham B. King has determined, from the flatter ing (all made on him, to propose himself as a Candidate for the City of Dublin, at the next election.—Dub...l Paper. Mr. Plunkett means, early in the next Session of Parli, went, to make a motion to place the nomination of Sheries in other hands than those in which it is at present vesteJ. This, in Corporate Cities and Boroughs, would be a mot desirable object. CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.—The part taken by the I.toile sad come Papers devoted to the Jesuits, as to the affairs of the Catholic Association, have not, it is said, escaped tile observation of the English Government.
