We have extracted an important article on the recog nition of the Independence of Colombia, from an Evening parer, *which professes to found its information on the of -11621 documents received from the British Counniwdoners who l;ave been sent to that Republic. Ire think the pub lic will fully agree with t!' Editor, that "every guarantee which the prudence and caution of our Government can re quire may be obtained ;" and, consequently, we trust that Cie t%Toznition of Colombian Independence may no lenger be 'delayed. No deference is now due to the scru ples of .Spain, and we have no doubt that no sense of false t!..lieary will induce his Majesty's Government to withhold acknc.vielgment of the sufficiency of the title which C .I°o'4 offers, for her admission to the rank of an inde-1 rentlent nation. Iler Government is consolidated ; order preVails throughout her extensive territories ; and her mi- I:tary force is abundantly competent to repel all attacks on I I h•r political eNistence. She has successively defeated every I eptelitien sent to subdue her, and made captives of the sAliers who were to enslave het ; and now, while the pa- I rent state, whose authority she has renounced, is in mill tary occulation by the French, she has a veteran army, I upwards of 10,000 strong, engaged as auxiliaries to Pe itivian freedom, in wresting the last dependency of; Spain from her dominion. The crown of the Indies has passed for ever from the brow of Ferdinand; that I tic Spain is become almost an unsubstantial diadem. I va.t monarchy. of which it was once the boast of the I , v:urtiers cf Cie Escurial, that the Inn never set upon it, is i raw shrunk into the narrowest dimensions, and the Allied Powers who prop its tottering throne are already discus slne the " future destination" of its 'Mediterranean rep- pmelages, The imbecile King of the Banditti of the Faith is now more bearded by the Apo,tolic Junta, than ever he less by the Constitutionalists, whom he persecutes with unrelenting hatred ; and to close the list of his con mortifications, it is in ail probability reserved for him t be !dripped of the few ponemitais that remain to him, by the friends who have obtained the power of eloinr, SO by pre t ltim; to restore him to the plenitude of his authorityl cvcr countries, which the progress of events basking placed b..yend his grasp. We this slay lay before our reader the sulwtance of a v:ry important document respecting the state of Gres cc, written by Colonel Itteultope, whose residence in that cauntry, and connection with the ;reek Government, enable him to give the moll correct information. The statement cf the gallant ('oionel is distinguished by its candour and elearitc:;.s ; and it is rendered additionally intaesting by b?ing published just begun the co iiiii uncentent of the campaign. Much delusion has unquestionably been spread with regmd to the actual condition of tire: cr. I)isarpoint merit has followed amorrist thane whose enthusiasm lei them to mist in the struggle, and the Greek cause has suffered not a little from the uasteprcvntations that have .~ It naturally flowed from that source. The Greeks lave aerb't taiuly been pacalyscsl wlh intestiue.dissentions, but it Is at' the mine time true that they haveevery year advanced upon the Turks; and rescued a larger portion of their country. The 1 year before last the Turkish army penetrated into the Mores, as far as Argos. The following campaign they did not attempt' to pan the isthmus of Corinth, and there is every reason I to believe that they have this year been repulsed from passing the straits of Thermo!): he. Indeed, the Gallant I Colonel seems to consider the Ottoman empire as rapidly approaching its close: he says— " Turkey is evidently on the eve of its fall. The reigning family is nearly endive ; its provinces arc disunited ; Egypt and Tripoli are gown too wise for its government. A portion of Greece is severed from it fur ever, and the Hellenists, who bow to the power of Turkey, hate it in their hearts, and pant far revengeand freedom' Even Albania detests and threatens to throw off its hateful yoke. The Ottoman armies arc insubordinate; and the fleets, having lost their Greek &alien, are become impotent." The Greek,Government los varied greatly in its character according to eircumstanc:A andthe habits of those who have presided over it. It has chi.•fly bean and still continues decidedly democratic. But the Gallant Colonel states— " the principles of civil liberty arc beginning to be duly appreciated." Justice, it appears, is badly administered, and the want of educated men felt "in every department of the state." Agriculture is languishing, so much of the txrun try having been yearly overrun during the war; and commerce is stagnant: yet the Gallant Colonel despairs not of the success of the Greeks. " The struggle, •he says, "however protract ed, must succeed, and must lead to an improvement in the condition not only of Greece, but of Asia." We cordially concur in this opinion, and as the purest of causes has too often been stained by the crimes and follies of its supporters, we must not suffer our indignation, at the conduct of some of the Greeks, to induce us to forget, that they are struggling to save themselves not only from the most revolting and horrible slavery, but from indiscriminate slaughter. Every good man gives them his good wishes, and we say de voutly, Amen. The appointment of Mr. FAIMELI., a most respectable Irish Catholic, to"the office of Assistant Barrister in the county of Clare, will give pleasure to all who look forward to the re!gn of comfort and confidence in Ireland. It re quired all the Loan LIEUTENANT's firmness to encounter the active hostility and restless opposition which arrayed itself against his liberality from the outset. But that de termined confidence in the rectitude of his intentions, and that stedfast reliance on the result, which kept him inflex ible in the line of policy he had marked out for himself, has not only justified that policy, but has made converts to its wisdom among many even of its once most avowed ene mies. Candid minds always, sooner or later, free them selves from the shackles of prejudice; but bigotry, selfish , rues, intolerance—these are vices which cling too closely to the nature they infect to be speedily got rid of. They rarely yield to reason, and the higher feelings of the mind arc not pres•snt to triumph over them. But as the great body of the people become enlightened, the maxims of moral truth make their way into all minds, and the maxims of poliliraf,jerilee, which, by degrees, grow out of them, acquire an impressive and abiding influence. It is under this influence that his Excellency's government is making its way in Ireland. The above appointment is a measure not more important in itself than as it is connected with that spirit •of fair and liberal conces sion which, under his administration, had been made to supersede that opposite system, which for centuries has been tried and found wanting. And it ever will be so; it is not in human nature that it should be otherwise. Ask those who have hitherto reigned supreme in the councils of Ire land, what has reduced it to that condition which, in many of its finest districts, has made Insurrection Acts and nightly visits necessary ? and they will reply to you, promptly, the turbulence of the peasantry, and the spirit of Catholic disaffection. But we would ask, in reply, have you been as careful to preserve the public peace of Ireland, as to preserve your own places and your own power? You exasperate the peasantry by your injustice, and then punish their resentment as rebellion ! Reflec tive men hare long ago seen, and have long ago said, that if you Iseult! save Ireland to this country, this system must be exploded in principle and abandoned in practice. It is upon this conviction that Lord iVellesley has had the manliness to act; and the improving condition of Ireland bears 'daily' testimony to the soundness of this course of policy, and to its foresight. The nomination of Mr. FAR REII. to an office he is so well qualified to fill, we consider chiefly valuable as a practical reenguition of those great leading truths which ought never to be absent from the mind of those who arc called to rule, whether it be in Ireland or elsewhere, namely, that government is Intended for the good of the whole, not for the security and emolu ment of a few ; and that diversity of religious opinions is no just ground of difference in civil privileges. The directions given by the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland to discontinue the insulting and exasperating cele bratien of the.i2th of July, have been disregarded in se veral parts of that unfortunate and distracted country. Considering the determination lately manifested, in so many shapes, by the Irish Govemmest, to discountenance the Orange Association, and especially to put an end to its ilk gal and mischievous pretensions, we can hardly suspect the sincerity of the Grand Lodge in issuing the orders' which have been trampled upon thus contemptuously. There can be no doubt that the Orange leaders expected obedience. All their hopes and interests must have in clined them to wish fur it, because, after they had resolved to require it, the mutinous insubordination of their fcl lowers would evidently contitute the best argument for the suppression of their belly. It was, besides, an object with them to shew by deeds—and the las thoseelteds were known to be in accordance with their private judgments the stronger the demonstration—that their professed loyalty was not wholly a pretence. The termination of their proces sions would have keen cited as an irres!stable proof, not only of their readiness to submit to the injunctions of their own functionaries, hut of their willingness to acquiesce in the wish, aof authority. The Orangemen, however, have now deprived their apologists of every shadow of excuse for any longer tolerating the existence of this most perni cious association. It must be utterly prohibited Ly law, I an d the use of its symbols, and all conference and commo- nication between its members for the purixises of the Orange system, or of any oth...r association for exclusive objt eta, religious cr political, not authorised by the, laws, must be subjected to the heaviest penalties. Ile! name too, as a party badge, trust be proscribed. With out an enactment to this effect, we apprehend the tran quillity of Ireland can never be insured. It is not in human nature that the immense majority of a people' should tamely endure the anniversary celebration of the I most provoking outrages on their ftell:ll.7s. Irritation is! perpetuated, and not tinfrequently great crimes committed. i Mr. Brovinlovv, the Orange Member for Armagh, admitted that while these festivals of party triumph were continued,! " no man's property would be worth a year's purchase—no cnat:'s life could be valued at a pin's fe.e." In the accounts we publish to-day, it will be seen, that at pownpatrick the' Rev. Mr. Anderson, a Methodist Minister, has fallen a sa 'crifice to these wanton breaches of public peace and order. At Newry a desperate affray took pint*, in which some 'soldiers of the 86th took an active part. Mr. Cony, the Magistrate, with a degree of vigour and courage which cant.ot be too highly praised, subdued the riot, and lodged i the ringleaders on each side in prison. Indeed, the Magia-1 tracy, thanks to the recent purification ! behaved at all the I places where similar attempts occurred with great firmness. At Belfast, the Chief Magistrate of Police ordered the Orange flags to be removed, and the triumphal arches, covered with offensive emblems, to be pulled down ; and at Donaghadee another Magistrate, Mr. Hull, rout led the Orange procession in person, and captured three or four ragged fellows, whom he forthwith committed to the black-hole. In these proceedings the people of Ireland must see further evidence of the determination of the Mar quis IV.:llesley's administration to enforce the laws with impartiality against all who violate them, whether Ribbon mall or Orangeman. By perseverance in this course only can the foundations of public confidence be laid, and the undeviatinf justice of the King's Government be rendered fully apparent. If the protection of the law be fairly given to all, as it is in England, without any distinction arising from the religious oe political opinions of the claimant, all will uphold thedaw ; property will become there as secure as it is here, and the superfiux of our capital will make its way into Ireland, and fertilise the industry of its nu merous and enterprising population. The Irish will then be found in their native land as orderly and well-disposed as they are generally elsewhere. HapPiness will at last dawn upon the green island, and the union of the king doms be cemented, by the conviction that it is essential to the welfare of both. WINDSOR, JuLv 20. Yesterday being the anniversary of the King's Coro nation, the morning was ushered in with ringing of uells, and other demonstrations of rejoicing. Yesterday afternoon, after partaking of an early dinner, the King took an airing to Virginia Water, where his Ma jesty spent some time. The King takes daily rides in his phaeton in the spacious rides of the Park, and inspects the numerous improvements going on rapidly there and at the Castle, under the dire : tion of Mr. Wyatt. A great number of workmen arrive daily from different parts. Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, the Duke of York held a Levee, u Commander in Chief, at his office in the Horse Guest's, which was attended by Lord Louvain, Ge neral Sir Hussey Vivian, Lieutenant-General Stevenson, Nlajor-Generals Sir Wm. Hutchinson, Sir John Murray, White, Turner, and Patterson ; .Colonels Townshend, Clayton, Russell, Nisheti, Haverfield, anti Craig; Majors Delancey and Clement, and about thirty others. The Le vee broke up about half-past five o'cleck. The Duchess of Clarence arrived at the King's Palace, Kensington, yesterday morning, on a visit to the Duchess of Kent. After dinner the Royal Ducheoses honoured the Italian Opera House with their presence. On Monday the Duke and Ducheasof Gloucester left town for their residence at liagshot, for the season. Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, Downing-street, which sat in deliberation till past six o'clock. There were present th• • Larsl A,lancellor, the Duke of Wellington, the Earls of Liverpool, IlarroWby, Westmorland, and Bathurst, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Canning, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Viscount Melville, Mr. Wynn, &c. The Portuguese Minister and the Hanoverian Charge d'Affitir:s transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office. Yesterday morning the Chancellor of the Exchequer ar rived in town from the suit of Col. Vansittart, near 'Maiden head, Berkshire. Farrell, Esq. a respectable Roman Catholic Bar rister, Is appointed to preside at the Sessions Bench here, in the room of Mr. Scott. He has this day ebtered upon the duties of his situation at Six-mile-bridge.—Eanis Chronicle. IVA n IN INDIA.-It is not considered by persons in this country, competent to form a correct judgment upon the subject, that the war in India, with the Burmese, will be of long duration. The adequate protection of our frontier in that quarter, and the Inaki.:g these restless people feel what they hare never yet felt, our power, wit!, it is ex pected, bring them to prompt submission. The Burmese displayed their hostile disposition during the administra tion of the Marquis of Hastings, at.l it was then thought war must ensue. There it not the slightest apprehension entertained of a rupture with any other of the Native Powers.—Courier. NOUTII POLAK ESTEDITION.—The Griper s'oop of war, Captain Lyon, discovery ship, arrived at Stromness on the 99th ult. accompanied by the surveying ship Snap, Lieutenant Bullock, Commander, which is to accompany the Griper to the mouth of Ihrlson's Straits, and after , wards proceed to the coast of Newfoundland. These ships sailed on the 3d instant. During their stay they were vi sited, by a numerous company of Lattice and Gentlemen, both froth town and country ; and Captain Lyon and his officers, in a frank and gentlemanly manin.r, afforded every opportunity of satisfying the company in every particular, by an exhibition and explanation of the use of their in struments, tke. The Griper goes direct to Repulse Bay, where she is to winter, from whence Captain Lyon and his party proceed upon their arduous discovery by land. On Tuesday last, took place at Clackmannan the election of a Member of Parliament for that county, in the room of Robert Bruce, Esq. of Kennet, who has accepted the chiltern hundreds, when the Honourable George Ralph Abercromby, Captain in his Majesty's 3d Regiment of Dragoon Guards was unanimously elected. After his' election, Capt. Abercromby, in t.n eloquent and impressive speech, returned his -thanks to the freeholders for the high honour they had conferred on him. The meeting then, on the motion of Captain Abercromby, which was seconded by Nll. Tait, unanimously voted the thanks of the counts. to Mr. Bruce of Kennet, their late member, for the faithful and upright discharge of his duty in Parliament, and for the great zeal and attention which he had uniformly 'Hs 13layed in forwarding the interest of the county. The honourable member afterwards entertained the Free , holder a at as elegant dinues.—G:ase-ow Paper. I COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ENGLAND AND IRELAND. —A plan has been for some time under the consideration i of the Post-.haters General, which will, we understand, be carried into effect early in the ensuing month, and by , which the communicatiun between the two countries will ,be considerably accelerated. Two mails will be daily 'despatched for England, the elle ria Liverpool, and the ;other by the old route of Holyhead. A similar despatch will also take place from England. By this mole the Holyhead packet will be able to sail from the Head at three o'clock in the morning, in place of, as beretotbre, being obliged to wait until half-past six for the Cheater mail. I The British correspenth nee for the Ncrtit of Deland will desvatelltd the int:anent the mail arrives direct from flowth ; thus enssuiri,, ,, the delivery of the London letters in. Belfast in 4t pouts from the time of their despatch from Loption—l.:me rick Obserrc,. Anse NT'. EI S 11.—A Noble Lord who lately cat upon the Committee of Inquiry into the propriety of continuing the Insurrection Act in the disturbed counties of Ireland, was given to understand that the principal cause of the die turbances alma ot•se.,frt ism. The winless further conveyed an intimation that his Lcnbillip who was a member of the Committee, was an ahscalec. " What!" retorted the Noble Lord indignantly, " you mean t' insult me, Sir; I will report you to the House of Lords." " All I know," said the witness coolly, "is, that I hare been in the county in • which you nozhe to iaaiiee, for the lint five yearn, and I never saw your Lordship there, or heard of .our having paid it a visit." Lord L.—" Why, Sir, I have a house there." Witness—" I did not say your Lordships house was as absentee." His Lordship did not reply, and tile conversation here closed; but it is undc.rstooil that thi• mode of plain speaking to a Peer of the realm will form a subject of grave legislative conversation in the next Session of l'arliament. FASHIONADLII INTELLIMCNCE. The Marquis of lisetford opened his depot manakin in Picea , dilly an Monelayarening to the hart tat, with a;rand concert.

The recent arrival of a Lady who moves in the very highest ranks of fashion in thin country, has been caused by an incurabl^ attachment on the part of her husband to a Lady, Mrs. B—, the widow of a gallant officer. This attachment, we are sorry to say, has ended in an elope ment, and articles of separation have been agreed to by the Lady, who, having already brought to her husband a most prinetly fortune, which he has dissipated, she has, notwithatanding his frailty, consented to allow him 3,0001. per annum out of that portion of her own fortune which hail been secured to her at her marriage.—/tforniug Porr. Mrs. Long iVellesley and family, and Colonel and Talbot and suite, arrived by the steam-packet from Calais, on Monday. FURTHER PARTICULAKS. The above altoliti:incolrect, as far as relates to alleged elopement. The following are the circumstarces under which the parties be:aine acquainted, and the con nexion formed, which has entailed unhappiness on two families in the highest walks of life. Mrs. B , whose marriage with her husband, if not clandestine, was with out the approbation of the gentleman's friends, is a young lady of great personal attractions. Shorly after her mar riage she accompanied her husband to the Continent, but as lure mulches are not always productive of the greatest happiness, they found after marriage what, probably, they never took the trouble to inquire into before it—that their tempers were not suited to each other. Their domestic diffacnces at length became so serious and unpleasant, that Mrs. B— requested the lady of the once wealthy commoner, who figures in this transaction, to reside with her, until she communicated with he•r friends in England, and convenient provision was made for her return to her own family. With this requiAtion Mrs. W , &c. complied. Hospitality, though always an amiable virtue, is one that often requires to be exercised with discretion, and neva more so than when a pretty woman, is in ques tion. So it proved in the present instance: Mrs. B— had not been long an inmate of the family, when the master of it thinking, in the spirit of Junius, " that a pretty woman was a tyrant an Englishman should not resist," paid homage to her charms, and the disastrous consequence followed which is already known to the pub lic, and '-hick has plunged a most amiable young lady into peat misery, and " an anticipated orphan ace" on her three children, by depriving them of the society and assistance of their natural protector. The injured lady has conducted herself throughout this unfortunate affair with the most marked propriety, forbearance, and good sense. After having acquainted the immediate tnem hers of her husband's family of the wrong that she had sustained, they went to Paris for the purpose of adjusting the terms of their separation. We have learned, that with the weaknesl(ptrhaps an amiable one) of her sex, she has lehaved towards him with a liberality that reflects gnat credit on her, and c-rtainly marks her disposition to acts of generosity.
