LONDON, MONDAY, FLORYARY 7, ISVi. The intelligence received on Saturday, respecting the military operations in South America, are in the highest degree favourable to the cause of independence. Accord- ing to the Guayaquil Paper, from which extracts are given in another column, BOLIVAR 'NU proceeding steadily in the liberation of Peru. In a Proclamation issued at Huan- cayo on the 15th of August, he speaks of OLANC rn as eo-opereting with the Patriots for the overthrow of the Spanish power—" Peru and all America should recog nise in General O'.atwET♦ one of its liberators." This is the first official statement of the declaration of 01. - Nara against Spain, and we hardly know, even now, whe ther we ought to give it credence. The accounts we had from Buenos Ayres represented the Spaniards as engaged in an intestine struggle, but, according to the Manifesto of OLateEra on renouncing the authority of the Viceroy La &RNA, the quarrel between the Royalist Generals origi nated in no good-will on the part of any one of them to wards the Americans, but in their political differences as Spaniards, and Ot.aysra made it his peculiar bout that he had always been a pure and absolute Royalist, and never a partisan or supporter of the Constitution. How, with these sentiments, this man can have " entitled him . self to American gratitude," we profess to be wholly unable to comprehend. Letters were also received on Saturday from Mr. HENDERSON, our Consul• General at Bogota, dated the 19th of November, by which we learn that in telligence had reached that city that Bot.l v•rt had com pletely routed CANTAR•C on the banks of the Apurimac. The impression at Bogota was, that the war in Peru was at an end. It is probable that this victory will turn out to be that of which advises were transmitted to us by way of Buenos Ayres. A short time must bring us the official details, and remove all doubts. A Brazilian mil was received yesterday. It fully con firms the statements of the tranquillity of all the Provinces of that vast empire. A military commission has been ap pointed for the punishment of the revolters of Bahia. In Pernambuco the Caastitution has been proclaimed with great pomp; and iu Ceara the rebels had been dispersed by the first volley of the Imperial troops. Pena° I. may therefore now repose with confidence in the safety of his throne, which nothing can henceforth shake, but his own wiifulness or folly. The republican institutions by which he is surrounded, will, however, it is to be expected, ad monish him to a temperate exercise of the prerogatives he has reserved and appropriated to himself. In pursuance of the sentiments expressed in the Kt wo's Speech in favour of the removal of all unwise and incon •enient restricticms on commerce, a very important com munication was made on Friday last to the Levant Com pany by Mr. Secretary CANNIxc. This is one of the few regulated companies for foreign commerce which at prevent subsist in this country. By the 2Gth of George 11. c. 18, the Coe for admission to this Company was reduced to twenty pounds, sod none but those merchants who belong to it can trade with any part of the Turk'sh dominions, in return for which privilege they contribute towards the maintenance of the Ambassador, and they both appoint and pay the Conruls. Tile independence of Greece has produced& new era in the history of till! Company. The Greek territory was included the limits of the monopoly, but it has been wisely resolved by his MA- . . JESTY . S Government to take advantage of the altered state of things in that quarter to throw open the trade to the country generally. Mr. CANNING therefore tioiified to the Company, that it was intendtd shortly to bring a Bill into Parliament to restore to the Crown the right of appointing its commercial agents in the Levant. By this measure the Company will be virtually extinguished. We understand that the appointment of the new Consuls for Greece will nut be long delayed. This will be a tecognitimi of Greek indelendence dr Ado. Although in our paper of Saturday, we deprecated the Rill which the Luru to A riCELLOR had announced his ialtentlon of bringing in, regarding JOINT STOCK COM pastes, not only from our conviction of the impolicy of all Parliamentary iaterfert nce with the application and in- 11. I r ~ ~.'br -~ ' . vestment of monied capital, hut likewise from our appre hension that his Lordship's great legal abilities—great perhaps, beyond example—were but ill-adapted to regu late the concerns of commerce, or to adjust the principles of mercantile speculation, we still cannot help congratu lating the country on the very important principle which his Lordship's Speech involves, when we consider it u coming from the Woolsack, and clothed with all the authority which belongs to it as proceeding from the Lord Chancellor, in his character of SPEAKER or Till House or Loans. Adverting to the mischievous extent to which Joint Stock Companies are carried, his Lordship announced that— " It was his intention to bring in a Bill that would check these proceedings, and he thought proper to mention it on the test day of the Session, in order that thaw persons whom the Bill might affect, should hare early notice of it. The operation of the Bill would affect all sales of shares 10 those Companies that were merely proposed, but not yet in reality funned, and its operation was to begin from and after the grit day of this Session. It mild mot, therefore, be said that timely notice had not been riven; there would not, therefore, be any ground of complaint ow that head." We have here not merely a tacit disavowal of the prin ,:'ple, that the publication of what passes in either House of Parliament is a breads of privilege, tolerated only by connivance, but we have a practical dereliction of it. It can never hereafter be urged, that Parliament cannot, con sistently with its privileges, auffer what occurs in a de bate to go forth to the public. It would be a waste of words to attempt to prove that the Speaker of the House of Lords, in his place in Parliament, would never have given timely notice To THE PUBLIC of a clause he intended to introduce in a Bill not yet submitted to their Lordship, if it was ever, hereafter, intended to insist that the making any report of the proceedings of that House was a breach of privilege. We hold the public to be highly indebted to Lord Er DON, for thus boldly breaking away from the trammels of Parliamentary usage. The precedent is inestimable. The public are henceforth justified in considering that the reporting to the public what passes in Parliament is no longer to be regarded as an infraction of its privileges. This actual recognition of the right, on the part of the LORD COAtraz ttoit, was virtually approved by all the rest of the House, as not a single Peer rose to remark that a breach of the Standing Orders of the House must necessarily ensue from proclaiming to the people without doors what was pass ing toifhin, and that a specific breach of privilegg would be committed by conveying this tint( ly notice to the public, for whose warning it was intended. The inference that may justly be drawn from this acquiescence may be con sidered as setting this doctrine at rest, and we hail it as a tribute to those principles of primeval justice, which re gard every &aim essential to the rational freedom of the community, not as tolerated by connivance, but enjoyed under the grant of that Constitution by which that free dom is secured. Some of our contemporaries have long been busied with speculating as to the individual to be appointed to the Government of Madras, it appearing that neither Sir J. MeacoLis nor Mr. Lust!' so-row are likely to succeed to it. The fact is, that no change is in agitation at present. Sir THOMAS Muria° had been induced, by ill heslth, to resign his situation as Governor, and it consequently be came necessary to appoint some other person to that im portant station ; but a letter was, by some late despatches, received by a relative of Sir Tttoeus MuN RO, in London, which intimated that he Mould not have resigned could he have foreseen the breaking out of the Burmese war, as he should have conceived that such a measure, at such a ' crisis, might have been injurious to the interests of the India Government. This intimation of course led to a conference between the India Directors and his MAJIseY'S Ministers, which ended in the prudent postponement of any Change for the present. The report of Sir TnoMAS having taken his departure for England is therefore pre mature. The Stock Markets were extremely steady on Saturday, and, what is somewhat remarkable, the money and account prices scarcely varied. The former were 93i a , the latter 9311 I, and both markets were firm in maintaining their prices ; there were almost sellers, however, at 8 for the ac count. It was, previous to the opening of Parliament, ex pected, that the King's Speech would have a tendency to raise prices; but when that was found not to be the case, it was declared that they must go down : but, contrary to each of these predictions, they continue steady. Foreign Stocks are equally firm in maintaining their prices. New Brazilian Scrip was done at 44 ; Colombian Bonds, 921 ; Buenos Ayres, 91} 24 ; Chilian, 884 9 ; Greek Bonds, 57i and 58 ; Spanish continued firm at 22. The Mining and other Shares were extremely heavy ; they have in no wise recovered the shock that the Lord Chancellor's de claration on Thursday night, in the House of Peery, gave to them. At a Meeting of the Levant Company, on Friday, a letter was read from Mr. Snretary Canning, stating that Government wished the Company should be dissolved, as the opinions as to free trade were now so universally dif fused, that a Bill would be introduced into Parliament to' carry this object into execution, but that Government had no fault to find with the Company, and would retain all their agents in Greece., &c. as Consuls, or as the accredited agents of the English Government. A document has just been published, giving a list of the various foreign loans and schemes for Joint Stock Compa nies put forth in London during the years 1824 and 11325. It appears that the total capital proposed to be raised ex ceeda 160,000,0001. sterling, being in amount more than ' four timesall the hard cash in the British dominions. The schemes are principally Rail-roads, twenty, capital 13,930,000/. ; Banking Loan Investment, he. twenty-two, 36;760,000k; has Companies, eleven. 8,000,000/. ; British and Irish Mine!, eight,3,600,000/.; Foreign Mines, seven teen, 11,565,000/. ; Shipping and Dock Companies, nine, 10,580.000/.; Miscellaneous, twenty-seven, 11,070,00`01. In the house of Common* on Friday night, Mr. Wool ryche Whitmore gave notice for Tuesday, the Ist of March, of a motion for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Corn Laws. The Wellesley, 74, is noes fitting with great haste at Portsmouth, and is, we understand, about to proceed to Lisbon and the Brazils, instead of the Thetis, Capt. Sir John Phillimore. This sudden alteration is attributed to some hast 7 act of Sir John's towards Capt. Wallis, of the Niemen, inconsistent with the strict rules of naval dis cipline. Sir John, we regret to add, will, in all proba bility, be brought to a court-martial Ur his conduct. Captain Wallis has sailed for Halifax, after communicat ine his cause of complaint to the Lords of the Admiralty. It is said that Mr. Clonghton, one of the Members for Newton, will vacate his seat early in the approaching session, and that Sir Robert Farittliar will he returned for that borough. If Mr. Claughton does this, he will act like the prudent dog, described by the mock Duke in the Honeymoon, which walked down stairs when he knew pre• parations were on foot for kicking him into the street. If we recollect right, Mr. Stuart Wortley stood sponsor for an Act of Parliament a few years ago, whereby it was enacted that a Member of the House of Commons becoming bank rupt, and not paying his debts iu full, within six months after the issuing of the commission against him, should ipso . facin, forfeit his seat. We need scarcely say that Mr. Claughton is in this predicament.—Maneltraler Guardien. Lewes is dreadfully afflicted with the electioneering mania. "One half of the population, at least," rays our correspondent, " are mad ; and serious apprehensions are entertained for the sanity of the remainder."

Lord N., who is rather offended at people's supposing lie has any notion to die, and who counteracts the report by every practical de monstration, called out to Mr. T. as he rode past him, " Well, T., how do you do? how do you? how is old J—y?

The ROYAL MANCDESTER INSTITUTION.—We have the pleasure of announcing a donation to this Institution which is not only intrinsically valuable, but which has been made in a spirit that cannot but be gratifying to our townsmen. Jonathan Hatfield, Esq., of S2rge Hill, Herta, son of the late Jonathan Hatfield, Esq., of Travis Isle, near this town, a gentleman much attached to the Fine Arts, and who has resided a considerable time in Italy, has presented to the Institution, through Dr. Holme, a most valuable collection cf casts and busts, consisting of-1.

I offer them in the spirit of affection, and in the hope that the example will be followed by others, who may wish to embellish their native town."— Manchester' Paper.

All heads unfortunately perished. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. The fullest house of this season, indeed of any season within our experience, was assembled on Saturday evening at Covent-Garden. The play was the Belle's Stratagem, but the performance wsa not the attraction; the overruling anxiety was to be present at the reappearance of Miss Foote. A more intense interest could net have been dis played : it was without parallel in the records of thtstrical history. For many weeks past every seat in the boxes—of the dress-circle—of the first circle—in the skips--all were engaged, and would have been engaged had the Theatre been double its dimensions. Even part of the orchestra was appropriated to the accommodation of visitors, with guinea tickets; and an additional doucear, we understand, was, in the course of the evening, given for even tolerable sight-room. A few minutes after the opening of the doors, hoards were raised at the entrance, with the inscription, " Boxes full." The other parts of the house were in the same condition—not the fraction of a seat to be had ; and before the rising of the curtain, the whole' interior of the Theatre was crowded almost to suffocation. During the first scenes of the performance little else was heard than the din and hustle consequent on the adjustment and regu lation cf places: we could only observe that Mr. Jones, Mr. Ketnble, Mrs. Gibbs, and Miss Kelly, were moving on the stage; they were greeted on their respective en trances with that applause which usually attends per formers so deservedly popular. At length, at an ad vanced period of the first act, Miss Foote appeared. The utmost stillness prevailed in the house immedi ately previous to her expected entrt ; site at length appeared, and was received with a burst of loud, continued, and enthusiastic acclamation, such as we really never remember to have heard, or known to have been equalled at any theatre, or in any public assembly. All the persons in the pit, and—with scarcely an exception—in the boxes and other parts of the house, stood up and wel comed her return to the stage with the most marked and emphatic kindness. The waving of hats, handkerchiefs, and the other usual demonstrations of popular feeling, were resorted to, to testify the gratification given by her reappearance on the stage, of which her talents had long been a leading and most attractive ornament. There was something, too, in the manner of her appearance, which contributed greatly to enhance, while it seemed to entreat, the indulgent consideration with which the audience were inclined to receive her. She advanced with downcast look and faltering step to the front of the stage, and became' affected even to tears. There was a diffidence, a timidity, and a truly distressing embarrassment in her mode of com ing forward, which, together with her beauty and the re collection of her suferings, was calculated to " shake the saintahip of an anchorite," and compel him to feel for, and to pity her. It was a scene which did equal honour to the audience, who duly appreciated the distress of her situation, and to the object ut their sympathy, who gave such a pathetic attestation of her consciousness of it. Many ladies—and there were many present—could not refrain from tears. It is painful to pass from such a topic to one of a less agreeable or creditable character : the notice of a slight expression of disapprobation which fol lowed the burst of acclamation that gretled her entrance. The ungracious cry of " off, bff!" escaped a few persons, in ejaculations scarcely audible front fear and shame, and which displayed a manifest dread of coming out in any thing like a tune of clear and articulate enunciation. One or two persons in the two-shilling gallery, with somewhat of a bolder note, vociferated, " Nuyne, !Jayne," which was answered by a general shout of " 2 urn the rascals out." The order was no sooner given than " the action was suited to the word," and the distill hers were ejected, vi et armes. This practical proof of a determination by the audience— " To scatter her enemies, And make them fall," prevented any further efforts at interruption, had this been intended—which we believe it was not—and the play was permitted to proceed without further disturbance. That female is an object of public sympathy, whatever station she may fill, or in whatever sphere she may move, who in the first fervour of her yontliful feelings stakes her whole sum of earthly happiness on the fidelity of one, who, under the disguise of an ardent and honourable at tachment, wins her to his purpose, and then casts her aside, to add one more to the many victims of perfidy which have preceded her. They are but ill-read in the real history of female nature, who do not know that all the kindliest feelings of the heart, and all its most exalted principles, may survive the unmanly triumph of the traitor that seduced her into guilt. There is enough of frailty interwoven in the best nature to make forgiveness more of a duty than a virtue. The present was a trying moment to Miss Foote, and the audience felt that it was so. During the last scenes of the play she (lid not sufficiently recover from the embarrassment under which she had at first laboured, to impart sufficient vivacity to tine gay and volatile Lelitia Hardy. However, as the play advanced, she became cheered and encouraged by almost uninter rupted applause', and she went through the third, fourth, and fifth acts, with almost perfect composure. The part is, perhaps, of too bizarre a character for the style of acting suited to that mild and ladylike deportment which so well becomes her. She performed it throughout, however, with extreme propriety, and the latter scenes particularly with much arch vivacity and animation. Those parts, and there arc several throughout the play capable of being ap plied to Miss Foote's peculiar situation, were seized on by the audience, and followed by loud plaudits. Of these, the most apt and approprhite was the song, in which she was rapturously encored, " Where are you going my pretty maid," &c. At the delivery of the lines— " What is your fortune, my pretty maid? My face Ls my fortune, Sir, she said," a burst of acclamation was sent forth, almost equal to that which greeted her entrance. The two lines which succeeded were, if possible, still more applicable to recent events, which have occupied so much of the attention of the Bar and of the public. " Then I'll not many you, my pretty maid, There's nobody asking you, Sir, she said." The good-humoured approval that followed these lines, which was in no degree abated by the arch air with which Miss Foote gave them, cannot be conveyed by verbal description. At the expression of the sentence— " This moment is worth a whole existence," Miu Foote bowed to the audience in grateful acknowledge ment of the reception she had met with. Too much eagerness, and an indiscriminate desire to connect every sentence of the part with Miss Foote's case, was manifested, and this anxiety was not unfrequently exercised, in pas sages where the suppres►ion of applause would have been more considerate and more judicious. Altogether Miss Foote's re-appearance has been most gratifying. She has been hailed as a favourite of the public, nho has been basely lured aside from virtue, but who is not on that ac count treated as an alien from its path. Every humane mind will rejoice that she should have found, as she has done, in the kindness and sup port of the public, some consolation for the treatment she has sufKred in a quarter where she had treasured up far other expectations ! C. Kembla played Dorieourt. Whatever requires spirit, and the expression of natural feeling, he hits efF to perfection.
