Intelligence was received last night from Madrid, by war of Bayonne, to the 9.41 instant. It is observed in these advices, that no official confirmation has been given to the sews of the defeat of the South American Independents at Sir to Fe and Maracaibo, and the rout of Bolivar in Peru. The enemies of South American freedom will wait long I enough before they have the satisfaction of" hanging Bo hvar." They may hoodwink the wretched inhabitanta of brain, but we can view their falsehoods only with abhor rence and disdain. The King will be guarded by French trenp.s on his journey to the baths at Sacedon, and such is the condition of the country the soldiery will bivouac on I the road. Ferdinand amuses himself with making promo t.cns in the army. A meeting of the Ambassadors is men tiered, at which the state of the kingdom generally would be discussed. The Marquis of Lansdown might well say, that the new Governtnents in America were more compe tent to maintain the relations of peace and amity than t'ilain herself, to whom so much delicacy has been observed in refraining from a hasty recognition of the independence !'er late colonies. What arc we to think of an indepen dent kingdom, in which the Ambassadors of Foreign rm.:Ts meet to determine whether her principal fortresses -' 0.1 be occopied by their troops, and whether her depot da,eies shall be lopped olFfor their benefit ? The " fu tun' destiny of the Balearic Islands" is to be discussed. What need of discussion is there as to them ? they belong of ceurse to Spain. What is to he understood, then, by dis;'uFsivg their " future destiny ?" Arc they, after all that has been said, to be divided between Russia and Franco ? What else can be meant by raising a question to their " future destiny ?" BAYONNE, JULY 6. We have news from Madrid of the Ist of July. Tie Papal Nuncio has presented to the King a brief from his Hohness relative to the Jubilee. Ili* Holiness's letter cunuins a chernent attack on philosophy and toleration. Though news has beer. received of the defeat of the independents :.t Santa and lilaracaibo, and of the rout of llolivar, there is no information of these events, and the nutharity of the Re-' cuunts is therefore very reasonably doubted. The Landes du corps lett Madrid at last, on the _9th, to their great satistaction, and that the city where they committed all kinds of disorders. The King sets out for the baths on the lith. Don ('solos remains at it4adrid. The curiosity of the whole City w:ei e-scited en the by the sending of secret dispatches to all the provinces which we r:ot to he opzned till the Ist. It was known the nest day, that ti ::‘,•• related merely to a measure of administration about to_ 'meta, the price of which is rising, and this precaution was taken to prev...nt contraband trade. Toe Police has just p ublished an Ordinance, enjoining all those who have arms in their possession to deposit them in the office. The French troops are to escort the King on the road to the baths of Savedon. As the road is in a most horrible state, they will be "I& *AI to bivouac. The King lia.s made several nominations to &c. iuid nututruus promotions in the army. 'flit stank of St. Charles has procrard its memoirs and sets In the I King. A meeting of the Andaaroadors 31adrid is spoken of, in I which they will discuss the situation of Spain, the occupa tion of the future destiny of the Bolearie islands, &e. .17a ques tion whether England will be disposed to approte of the progress of the other powers on the subjects. Letters were received yesterday from Carthagena, dated the 2tth of May. From them we learn, that notwith standing the treachery and desertion of so many of the Peruvian leaders, Bolivar was taking the most effectual measures for repelling and subduing the Royalists. It was rein:liked. with just feelings of pride in these letters, that no Colombian has been guilty of the crime of joining the oppressors of his country. A great number of the Colom bians were slaughtered at Callao, when it was delivered up to the Royalists. We have no accounts how Torre Tagle had been received by his new associates, nor what progress 'the dissentions of the Spaniards had made amongst them selves. It is not improbable that Bolivar may, after all, ' not be required to strike a blow. A seditious movement had taken place at Guayaquil, in the provinc. of Quito. It was immediately suppressed by the Authorities. Gen. Soublette, the new Intendant of Carthagena, was proceed ing vigorously with the despatch of his duties. A great and most beneficial improvement was perceptible in the revenue department. The rinnour, that the General had been appointed Envoy to Great Britain, was evidently without the least foundation. The British Commissi oners were very popular, and their presence bad created the kindliest feeling towards this country. Some observa tions were lately made in the French Chamber of Depu ties b) M. tie Noailles, in which: he strongly urged his Go vemtnent to adopt the same policy with regard to South America that is pursued by England. The speech was or dered to be printed ; and it may. therefore, be fairly pre sumed not to be widely dissonant from the opinion of the Chamber generally. M. de Noaillea remarks, that " in a recent account of arrivals in a Colombian paper, though there are Swedish and Danish ships, there is but one French one, and that is a frigate, a v..ssel of war. See the difference of the policy of the English. Are the arms in this contest equal ? And see the enormous loss which our country suCers in no: treating with these countries. I can affirm, that orders for between ten and twelve mil lions (francs) had been sent to Paris, for objects of our i preduction, but the ortle:s were refused." The conduct of the Magistrates of the county of Wex ford, in the affair of Captain BaowN, will not fail to excite the public attention, as manifesting the peculiar temper which prevails in that judicial body ; there is no better token by which wr can discover the determined spirit with which culprits have been heretofore snatched from the hands of justice in Ireland, in spite of the forms of law, or the award of justice. The present LORD LIEUTENANT has, from the first hour of his administration, resolved, to keep the law finn to its principle, and the magistracy faithful to their trust. They must have been silly, then, to court such a contest. They shrunk before the talents of the Ad vocate who conducted the proceedings, and who stood up with a steadfast and fearless temper to assert the claims of justice, and to maintain the rights of the subject. These! Magistrates, confident in their strength, and relying on their power, placed themselves in array against the practice of the Court and the law of the land. But they soon began to find that they had provoked the tiger in his forest ; the manly language of truth and reason was too much for them ; and we behold them reduced to the lamentable ne cessity of retracting an assumed power which they were unable to support, and abandoning assert ions upon which they were afraid to act. So it always will be with per sons in public station, when arrogating an authority for the purpose of abusing it; they are called to face au opponent whose judgment they cannot force, and whose firmness they cannot overcome. The whole proceedings' will be read with great interest. The indecent prompti tude with which the allusion to the Loan LIEUTENANT was interrupted, was quite in character. " In the present ease," said the eloquent Counsel, in his animated and constitutional resistance to the meanness of party and the malevolence of power,—" In the present case it was due to my Clients that their motives should be stated before their country at large—they courted inquiry into their motives, for they hail nothing to conceal, and nothing to fear. Another reason which the memorialists press upon me is this—that they are most anxious, publicly, and in the face of the people, to express their thanks to the :gami est' Is NVELLESLEY for having instituted this inquiry. MR. really do not see that the Marquis M'el ley's Government is entitled to any peculiar thanks—all Governments must do the same. Mr. Bate—All Governments might to act in the same manner, but I must take leave to say that few Governments in I RELAND have acted so. Seldom bare the gates of the Castle been so widely open to the complaints of the peo ple, or the lower and the more vexatious agents of power been so effectually watched and suppressed."— The Orange Cabinet in Ireland are aware that all this involves in it considerations fatal to their supremacy. They have no taste for a precedent so pernicious to their cause. Why are they feelingly alive to any mention of that better era of liberty which Loan I‘rELLESI.EY'S government has introduced ? Because they know that the political circumstances of the people has been progressively ameliorated; that under that government the condition of civil life is bettering every hour, and that a lesson of caution, like present, is daily taught to the depositaries of official justice, for which, in the foregone history of Ire land, we may search in vain for precedents. Prince Leopeld honoured Mrs. Coutts with his company at dinner on Tuesday. His Royal Highness left Marl borough House yesterday morning, soon after eleven o'clock, for Claremont. Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, • Cabinet Council assembled at the Foreign Office, Downing-street. Among ' the Ministers present were, the Lord Chancellor, the Earls of I Liverpool, il'estmorland, and Bathurst, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Canning, the Chancellor of the F.x. chequer, Viscounts Melville and Sidmouth, Lord Bexley, and Mr. Wynn. The Cabinet did not break up until a quarter-past 'five o'clock. We understand that the Ambassador from the Court of Spain to this country arrived in town on Tuesday. We have received New Brunswick papers to the 11th ult. They afford no political intelligence. The following extract gives a lamentable account of the internal affairs of I that colony :—" The state of our market is deplorable; every thing is scarce and dear. VVe do not recollect, in ; deal, when the season in this respect was so bad. flay is sod at 91. per ton ; oats .ss. per bushel ; butter 2s. per lb. ; potatoes from 3s. to 3s. (hi. per bushel ; beef rid: per lb.; and everything else in proportion. Fur the last three or four days there has not been a stick of cord-wood for sale." Extract from a letter from Demerara, June 4, 1824: " On the petition of the inhabitants, the Governor was pleased to forbid the Rev. Mr. Austin doing any duty as a clergyman. Mr. Lugar, lately arrived, has been officiating," We understand that the new Bishop of Bath and iVells has adopted some very strict but salutary regulations, cal culated to enforce the residence of his clergy. His Lord ship is indefatigable in the performance of his eccksiastieal duties.—lir Lau' Mirror. _ _ _ We copy the following from the Western Luminary of the 11th. We cannot say to what confidence it is entitled : " Th: Duke of Marlborough packet, which arrived yester day aft rnoon at Falmouth, in nine days from Lisbon, brings an account that it had been arranged that the Queen's destination should be Parma; but this she had refused to comply with, because she had not been tried : this, how ever, it is supposed, will avail her little. The packet left at Lisbon his Majesty's ships the Windsar Castle, Genoa, Lively, and Prinnose, with the French sloop of war Lynx.'. 1411 k. FASIIIONABLE IWTELLIGENCE. The Judge Advocate and Lady R.

The band of the Blues was attendance, playing alternate Quadrilles and Waltres. At five the banquet was announced, and the party proceeded to the house, where covers were laid for one hundred and fifty. and the tables abounded with every delicacy the season affords, or art could supply.

On Monday a grand dinner is to be given by the prin cipal inhabitants, at the Albion Hotel, to Sir 11 , m. Curtis, to celebrate his return to England. The following improvements are about to take place. A new church is about to be built; the present parish church is a considerable distance out of the town. The 11"elling ton Crescent, on the East ( liff, is completing with all pos sible speed, by filling up the vacant grounds with six new houses. The garden and pleasure grounds are kept in very good order, in the centre of it is a full length statue of the Duke of Wellington. New buildings are erecting in all directions.

DEATH OF THE SING OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. of Wadame Poki. - It is impossible to describe the sensation the distressing event has calmed throughout the whole of the King's suite. Madame Poki, the moment the breath left her Royal Mas ter's body, was carried to her chamber in a very despond ing state, and Reeves, his Majesty's interpreter, keeps his room. The plysicians noticed a gradual increase in his Ma jesty's disorder since the lamented death of his Royal Con sort ; and on the afternoon of Monday last, after her Ala jesty's remains bad been deposited in S. Martin's church, he made anxious inquiries of his attendants if they had seen her safely entombed ; on being answered in the at; illative, he said he was happy, and that lie hoped lie should !soon be with her. _ _ _ His Majesty, immediately after the death of the Queen, requested, should he fall a victim to his disorder, that his body and that of his wife should be conveyed with as much speed as possible to his dominions. About half-put one o'clock Sir Matthew Tierney arrived at the Caledonian Hotel, and was introduced to the Hon. Mr. Ilyng, who was all the morning in attendance. Sir Matthew was.shewn the body of his Majesty, and he de clared that his death occurred through the formation of a large abscess en the lungs. Reeves, the interpreter and secretary to his Majesty, says, that the King was for many days sensible of his ap proaching death, and frequently adverted to the death ; of his Queen, whenever he has had any conversation with ; him. _ The bcdy will lay in state prees:ly in the same manner as that of her Majesty. Madame Poki still remains in a very bad state, and many of the suite appear very unwell. LORD BYROA"8 GRECIAN ORPHAN. [THOM ♦ Ct)Rl...---ZESPONDENT.II Any subject, materially connected with the character or actions of that illustrious philosopher and poet, whose earthly remains were lately removed from our metropolis to their last resting place, niuyt be now peculiarly in teresting. The massacre of the Greeks by the Turks, at Seio, will stand an imperishable record of Alahommeslan barbarity.l During that carnage a Greek boy, about eight years of age, whose parents and kindred were savagely butchered by the infidels, crept instinctively into an oven of his pa ternal home, to escape from the general slaughter. He remained there teen days without any nutriment whatever, when, at the close of the second day, he was providentially discovered senseless and exhausted The late Lord Byron having been fully informed of those singular facts, immediately received the orphan boy under his protection. The extraordinary history of his preservation and the sad I.avcc of hit race, endeared the child snore closely to his sympathy and affection. lie was constantly with his Lordship to the last moment of his e::- istence. Soon after that lamentable event, which deprived Greece of her most stedfaat champion, Liberty of her best guardian, and Poesy of her brightest son, the Honourable Leicester Stanhope sent the boy to England for the advance ment of his education, and recommended him to the care and protection of the Earl of Harrington. On his arrival in this country, the Duke and Duchess of Leinster were so much delighted with the nobleness of his deportment, and amenity of his manners, at so youthful an age, that they have adopted him as their protege. He resides in London with the Leinster family. Be is a perfect Grecian warrior in miniature. His eastern costume is most imposing, as he wears a turban, gelick, tic. ; and on the right side of his belt are a pair of pistols, on his left a dagger. lie was in the first carriage that followed the hearse of his mignanimous patron. • - Miss Beaumont took her farewell benefit at this Theatre last night, she being about to retire from the stage. The house was full, and we seldom witnessed a more respectable audience ; and it is one of the best testimonies that can be adduced of the young lady's merits both in public and pri vate life. The entertainments were—The Cumedy Errors, the Irish Widow, and Ella Rusenbcrg. Miss Beaumont filled the part of Luciana. She appeared to us to be suffering from a severe cold. The audience were very enthusiastic in their applause. Mrs. Miller appeared for the second time as the Widow Brady; and the spirit with which she sustained the character fully justify the remarks we made on her debut. Her manner reminded us very much of Mrs. Jordan ; indeed we think she comes nearer to her than any one now on the stage. Mrs. Miller could not have a better model. Miss Lacy was exceed ingly affecting as Ella Rosenberg. We have never seal the part better acted ; and the audience testified their feel ing of it by the applauses which they bestowed. -- ENGLISH OPERA. Miss Harvey, whose singularly successful debut as Rusisa we have already noticed, appeared for the first i time in Rosette- lass evening. She fully sustained dual reputation sbe had acquired by her former performance, and won fresh " golden opinions" from a numerous and fashionable auditory. In the duets with Mr. Braharn, and " Together let us range the fields," with Mr. Philipps, she evinced a sedulously-eultivated taste, and displayed a brilliancy of tones e:cceedingly pleasing and powerful. Mr. Philipps sang with much spirit and effect : he was warmly applauded in the "Blooming rose," which is a beautiful piece of composition, musical as well as poetical. We regret to , have observed that his exertions, and those of his fair pupil, were greatly marred by the absence of some of the leading performers of the orchestra, and by some very sorry sub stitutes who were placed there in their stead. They did not play in concert either with the singers or themselves: they appeared like the patrician's soldiers, " strangers to one another." We hope that if operas arc to be performed here they may be altogether strangers to the theatre, and that more attention will be paid in future to this depart ment of the management. Brallam yang as usual with un rivalled excellence. In the course of the ensuing week, all the preliminary I arrangements havir , been completed, the marriage of Lord King, nephew of the Earl of Kingston, to the daughter ot'l Mr. Sergeant Lcfroy, is to be celebrated in Dublin.—Cork Southern Itriunter. On Tuesday, Lord De Denstanville led to the Hymeneal Altar Miss Lemon, daughter of Sir IVilliam Lemon, Bart. The Granby lon, at Harrowgate, lately Farch: wed by Mr. Maeready, was bought merely as a profitable ,:nvest ment of his money. It cost 4,004 k, and Mr. M. lia:1 let it for fourteat years at the rent of 4001. ; to that it will he deemed a tolerably fair investiture of so much of consi derable savings which, we have heard it stated, have l'aeen made since Mr. M.'s eppearance on the " London" boan!s. It is satisfactory to be able to state thus much ; and it would he consolatory, if the trantile be not lost on those of bis profession who also have the opportunity to realize property.

Yesterday morning t17" ...-7 e remains of Sir George Wood , Knight, late one of the Barons of the Exchequer, were re moved from his late house in Bedford-square, for inter ment in the vault belonging to the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple, in the Temple Church, of which So ciety the Baron was formerly a member. About eleven o'clock the solemn procession began to move in the following order:— I The Undertaker , Two Beadles of the Temple in their proper costume. Two Mutes. Plume of Feuthers. THE BODY, . . Page. Borne in a hearse drawn by six black hones, led by six pages. 1 Three mourning coaches, drawn by four horses each, containing the mourners and friends of the deceased. These were followed by a long line of gentlemen's carriages, the servants wearing black silk hat-bands and gloves. The procesLion moved with solemn pace to Inner Temple-lane, and at the end of Pump-court halted, when the coffin (which was covered with black cloth ornamented with gilt nails and drops) containing the body, was carried by six bearers to its last depository, followed by the mourners, among whom we noticed one of the Society of Friends. The deceased Baron was a sound lawyer; he possessed great patience and attention to the cases that came under his review, and an inflexible determination to resist any contagion from the prejudices of others. It was this cmits neatly useful quality which saved the life, a few years ago, of a man convicted capitally at Durham, for a robbery and murder, of which it afterwards was proved that he was not guilty. The prejudice, as well as the apparent proof, ran strong against him, but Baron Wood was not satisfied wit:i the evidence, and (though lie stood almost single in that opinion, of all who had heard the trial, so strong was the prejudice or the proof,) he, haprily for the cause of justice, saved the innocent man from execution, to the scarcely . dis guised dissatisfaction of stnne of the most distinguished individuals in that part of the country, who were naturally inflamed by the enormity of the crime against the supposed criminal. --- In another part of our paper we have given the report of I a Coroner's Inquest, held yesterday on the body of Sir I James Fitzgerald, who put a period to his life by shooting I himself on Tuesday, at his house in Baker-street, Portman- I square. Lady Fitzgerald, on being made acquainted with the melancholy catastrophe, was most deeply affect ed . She I has quitted the house, together with her daughter, for the I midence of a friend in the neighbourhood. A despatch I was immediately sent off with the intelligence to the son of Sir James, who is on a visit to a friend in Lancashire. The deceased was between f 0 and 70 years of age, and was nearly allied to the noble house of I;einster. Com Amnon E O'BRI A N.—An English sailor, called Corn- motion! O'Brian, entered the port of Calais alone at six o'clock in the evening of the .sth instant, in a little beat, sloop-rigged t of not more than a quarter of a ton. Ile had sailed from Dover at eleven o'clock on the same day. To convey some notion of the danger of passing the strait in such a vessel, it is sufficient to mention, that it is little more than five feet nine inches long, two feet eleven inches wise, and one foot four inches deep. This sailor has al , reaey lost one vessel of the same size, with which he had matt , several voyages; it is said, that to compensate hint • for titat losa, his Britannic Majesty gave hint the boat I which he now navigates.—Etvile Sa!t:rd,!y, Page. TilE FINE ARTS. TO TILE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF LIVERPOOL. FIRST 1,01111 OF THE TREASURY, &c. ae. I take the lioerty of congratulating ye tir Lordship ca such valuable posscsions as those beautiful works of art which appear in the British Gallery to be your Lorlsldp's property. I congratulate also the British nation on hsvin; lin her councils men of exalted rank caul station, who srC capable of cherishing a fondness fur, and who possess a' ' judgment ef, the Fine Arts. That was a proud day ter England, my Lord, on which her nobility and most wealthy individuals vied with each other in ' , lacing before the public, for their improvement and amusernert, the choicest works of art from their splendid collections. This is indeed giving a stimulus to taste, and patroniAng by example the Arts in the most liberal and most cffictive way. The revered names of Pitt and Fax will lire in the memory of the politician ; but .hose of Liverpool, of Peel, and of others of the present day, will add to she splendor of their statesman-like character, the milder, but, to me, the no less resplendent quality of the amateur, and zealous promoter of those arts which improve and enlighten c. ciety ;—which delight the eye and harmonize the feelings; standing forward in the cultivation of national taste, and following the bright example of the Monarch on the Bri tish Throne. In your exalted station, my Lord, at the brad of the Councils, as well as the Resourcts of this nation, I venture most tespcctfully to address you on the subject of the re strictions which at present check the importation of foreign works of art into this country. It has been ever held by liberal-minded men of all countries, to be injudicious to offer any obstacles to the free circulation of works of genies and taste : but in this country, now hourly arriving at s degree of splendor and liberality before unknown in the history of this or any other nation, it is completely at van ance with the national feeling, and with that generous at tachment to the Arts to which your Lordship and other, of high consequence arc so successfully affiwning a power ful support. 1 would earnestly hops, my Lord, that it would not be inconsistent with the views of Government, to relinquish at once all existing duties, and throw ores the ports of Great Britain for the reception of allestorks of art duty .free. Should this measure be deemed in. politic or improper, by those whose high official situation afford them the power of judging better than any indiri dual can, surely it may be well to look into the present , system of Custom-house Duties, which appears to be fiaufht with injustice. It cannot have escaped your Lord ship s notice, that a painting by any foreign artist, ancient or modern, not perhaps really worth two pounds, flit be tie same size, will be liable to the same duty as would attach to the splendid If - overmans or Adrian ran de Vilde, which now honour your Lordship's taste in the British Gallery ; • or any of those inestimable Dutch pictures from the splen did collection of your high-minded and enlightened eel' league, the Righ Ron. Robert Peel. Your Lordship must see the injustice of such a system. Why should a merchant or tradesman, whose taste and fondness for ele Arts urge him to possess such specimens as his means ray afford, be compelled to pay from such means, as much as the richest Peer or Commoner would pay on the moat precious and costly picture, because it is the saw site! This is at variance with the general effect of the laws and equitable principles of taxation, of which Ibis country has reason to be prowl. If duties must be paid on works of Art, surely eone. thing like an ad raiment duty might be imposed, to be regulated by skilful, respectable, and proper persons, ap pointed for the purpose, sworn, and amply paid for their services. Such persons are frequently called in to give evidence of the value of seizures, &e. and why net to that of imported pictures? We know that every day repent to the amount of thousands changes owners by appraise. 'mew, and why not such appraisement between the Gover nors and governed ? This method would be just, and. is my opinion, would at once put an cud to smuggling, which is principally practiced with pictures of a low value, aril which would not bear the aelaneasurcincia duty. A arced ml ratan m duty would be cheerfully pa'd on them, whit those of a higher value could better afford a much largo. The same objection applies to prints. As much duty now charged upon a small worthless foreign print as spelt the choicest proof of Raphael Morrherrs Last Stipp''. This system cannot be just, either to the payer or to the, receiver. Paintings, prints, sculptured marble, and indeed every other work of art, should be subject to an ei rem duty—if to any—as bearing a proportion to elicit aloe or merit, and not to their size or weight. I have the honour to be, your Lordship's respectful , humble Servant, London, July 14, NIL AN AMATEUR.
