LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1823. The French Papers which arrived last night contain no article of domestic intelligence worthy of being transferred to our columns. The endless discussion concerning the reduction of the Itc.ntes is continued with as much earnest "in sss as if it had been commenced only yesterday. The news from Madrid is to the 30th ult. The new Aiinister of War, the Marquis of ZA3IDnONO, is repre s:ated as a nun of great firmness of purpose. lie hag de t Tired his intention of putting an cud to the turbulence of the Royalist volunteers. lie is an equally staunch adhe rent of the system of Absolute Monarchy. The late Vice roy cf Peru, La Se ANA. and Gcneral CA NT E RAC, in spite or Liu advice of their friends, have proceeded to Madrid, ard, contrary to expectation, hare been received very fa yew-slily. It was expected that they would be required to attend a meeting of the Council of State, at which the state of Orlin in South America was to be considered. Lltters from SJrnzossa speak of several arrests, in conse quence of the alleged discovery of a correspondence with t! , e Liberals at Gibraltar. Ma tenth anniversary of the restoration of the King dom of Poland was celebrated at Warsaw, on the Qoch ult., with great splendour. The Emperor of Russia has &v as his sanction to the establishment of a Technological Institution at Moscow, the object of which is to propagate the useful sciences and promote manufactures. The intelligence respecting the Greeks, in the Elude, is decidedly favouraLle to that gallant people. The follow ing arc extracts : 1F•om Eto'l,.. doted IVednesday.

The Britannia, from Carthagena, has arrived at Fal mouth. She sailed from South America on the 21st of May. Two days previous to her departure official despatches had been received from Peru, stating that General SUCRE, the victor of Ayacucho, tired of dragging on a tedious negotiation with OLANETA, attacked him on the d of March ; and after a very sanguinary battle on that day and the 4th, rained a complete victory over the Royalist army. The place of action was La Paz, in Upper Peru, where 01. ANET A has so long been playing the despot. It was reported that he had succeeded in escaping with his private property, consisting chiefly of specie to a very large amount. There is no confirmation of the fall of Callao. A sortie iad ben made by the garrison, but it was repulsed with lie loss of 900 men. The advices from Bogota are to the 9th of May. The Colombian Congress closed its Session on the 30th of, April. A Mr. ELStiitS had submitted a proposal for raising a loan to pay off the internal debt of Colombia, which he offered to do at par. It was not accepted. Col. CAMPBELL had presented his eroloutials as British Charge d'Affaires, and had been received in that capacity. Depu- ' tations from Lima had arrived at Bogota, and brought the proposition that Bo' ICAR should be created Captain-Ge neral of Peru, with leave to remain in the cosntry till, next year. A mail arrived yesterday from Turkey. The letters from Constantinople are dated on the tutu, and those from Smyrna on the 31 ult. From Odessa also letters have been received, dated on the 2tst June (via Vienna). At the latter place there was no political news. Trade was in a most Co pressed state; and corn, the greatest article of trade, WB3 unsaleable, although the population was starv ing. No particular excesses had latterly been committed in the Turkish capital, a circumstance rather surprising, con sidering that the defeat of the Egyptian fleet at Motion was notorious, and the dispersion of the CAPITAN fleet was also known, although the particulars of this latter misfortune had not been generally made public. Every letter from Constantinople, even those from the agent of Lloyd'soulmits that the passage of the Dardanelles was block- Ivied by Greek cruisers, and that the whole of the Archi pelago was covered with them. One of the letters from the agent to Lloyd's at Constantinople states that the Orpheus and Lively, two British ships, laden with supplies to re lieve Patna, had sailed for their destination, but so active were the Greeks that the hopes of the safe arrival of these' ' ships were very slender. The following extract of another letter from Constan tineple, dated the loth of June, was yesterday posted at Lloyd's. It is written by a gentleman thoroughly conver sant with Turkish politics, and is addressed to an eminent English establishment. `• The Ann, Longridge, and the Traveller, bound to ports In the Noma in possession of the Turks, have, I believe, been carried into Napoli di Romania by the Greeks, with another English ship, but I cannot learn her name. The New Albion, Powel., sailed for Sores to load barley and flair, but found the place so infested by Greek cruisers, who gave notice that they would take him if he loaded, that he has returned to Smyrna. The Greeks have taken a great number of Aus:rian vessels, and sent tlical to Napoli. Several mber ves s els are about to sail from hence, but it Is generally supposed that they cannot escape the Greek cruisers," &c. Many other letters confirm the fact that the Greeks are completely masters of the s:a. 11:fore many months pass, they will he joined by two ships of 60 guns each, now in a most forward state at New York, and one of which will most probably be commanded by a distinguished British naval officer. The invasion of the Morea by the Egyp tians cannot be succ'esful under these circumstances ; and the t pertly expulsion of the troops under 11111A11131 PACIIA must be the consequence of the want of supplies neces. nary to maintain tlr.•tn hi their perilous enterprise. The Austriat:s had 25 ship 3 captured on the Ist June, laden with troops and warlike stores, in the battle betwixt Admiral SACTOURIS and the CAPITAN PAcII.t. We have received a file of the Buenos Ayres paper, the Argo', to the 23d of April inclusive, but we find no intellince in them of later date than we have already had by previous arrivals from the New World. CITY', THURSDAY EVENING. On the Stock Exchange no material alteration in the value of the' British Funds can be noted this day. Exchequer Bills have again undergone a farther decline, having fallen to a premium of from 1 335. to 31s. ; still money cannot be called scarce, and the probable cause fur the decline in the premium of Exchequer Bills, is the de. sire of Capitalists to exchange their property from Securities yielding little profit, into the funded debt of the country. The Consols for the settlement on Wednesday next opened at 9142, declined at 914. A re-action, however, occurred before the market *sod, and the last price of them was 914,1. Money Stock is the same as the Account for the 2t.h eurrenT. This settlement Is eon. Mitered tolerably equal, as far as speculation is interested, and an immediate decline or advance in the prices of the Threes will dopend entirely on the balance of the quantity of Stock to be taken and delivered. A great Capitalist intends to deliver none, recording to his own professions ; but *still the Bank reinstated his name to nearly half a million yesterday, and some of those who know best his operations, suspeet that he may deliver this amount at the settle ment. No individual property can, however, prevent an eventual improvement in all descriptions of public Securities, for by the enjoyment of peace, industry continues to add to property, and its excess must be employed when it earl be best secured with a regu lar annual emolument. The increase of money must be attended, to all nations burdened with public debt, by great advantages, for these burdens can only be rendered less by a power to reduce the annual charge on them. Should the interest of money decline in England, foe instance to per cent. per annum, this decline Itself would reduce the amount of the English funded debt just one half. The intercourse with South America will produce this event truce rapidly, probably, than the mercantile interest is at present prepared 40 expect. On the l'oreign Stock Exchange no great variation can be noted in any description of Foreign Securities. The Bonds of established Governments ore gradually diaappesting, and there is now from many places on die Continent a demand for American Stock. This demand is particularly felt by Colombian and 31exiean Bonds. in which the improvement is gradual and the demand incuasing. Greek Scrip in one per cent. lower than it was yestenlay. 'Fite moat just act of capturing Austrian and British ships employed in the service of the enemies of (lreree it the cause of this decline. Neither the Atis:rian nor the British Governments, hnwevi.r, will interfere in recitiming the property of renegade Christians. Spanish Ikeda are per cent. cheaper. There is sinnething wrong in French Finance. for the Benito do nut improve in the estimution tat British rapitalists. WIT!! COLOIOI4. Our attention has been called to en article which ap peared in the Morning Chronicle of the 6th instant, re lative to the treaty between England Colombia. We suspect that the writer is the same that furnished the egregious misrepresentation of Mr. Canning's speech con ceniing the Diplomatic Agents of the new American States. This person, whosoever he may be, seems to s have a mis chievous object in view, and to be quite intlitterent as to the means he uses to effect his purpose. In his last essay he falsely ascribed to Mr. Canning a general attack on the characters of the Foreign Ministers of the transatlantic Republies. In the article ►o which we now more particu larly refer this writer calumniates the Statesmen of Co lombia as " corrupt" and " vicious," end the people as a " semi-barba:sous race." Exulting in his own accomplish ments, this perfect specimen of civilization describes the Colombians in these correct and finished terms:—" The. bad Spaniard, ingrafted on the Indian of the woods, and the African negro, now let loose on themselves, without any restraint of laws human or divine." But It is not to criticise his miserable jargon that we notice him on this occasion. He pretends to be acquainted with Colombia, and states a number of facts as within his knowle.lge, in order to allow that the treaty can be of no benefit to that country ; and he adds, "this observation applies to all and every part of the late Spanish Colonies, from California to Cape Born." IVe intend to show that his facts are utterly untrue. He denies the reciprocity of the treaty, because at the end of the next seven years no vessel will be entitled, as a Colombian vessel, to enter our ports on the same terms as British ships, unless the vessel has been built in Colom bia. He then roundly asserts, that " the Colombians have not yet built a ship nor boat of any sort ;" ■nd further on he adds, " I who happen to have seen much of Colombia, know full well that difficulties and drawbacks, arising out of climate, localities, and, other insuperable impediments, will make the cost and etperspe of ship-building in Colom bia a total prohibition for an age to come." The following facts, which we have on the best authority, will be the best answer to this statement : As long as .50 years ago the ship Santiago el Fucrte, of 1,000 tons ' was built at Guayaquil. This vessel was cap tured by t he English and brought to London, where the prize was sold. Many other ships of about the same size have since been built at that port. One of these vessels, ' El Salvador, was at Cadiz in 1811, when she was employed by Vie Spanish Government in conveying troops to Ame rica. The ships naiad, Fuerte-hermosa, Begona, Santa Ana, La Preciosa, La Tagle, &c., also built at Guayaquil, and from GOO to 800 tons each, are well known on the Pacific, and by the Cadiz merchants. The Prueba, a Spanish frigate, was entirely caulked and refitted at Guay aquil in 1820. Smaller ships are now built at the same place in imitation of models seat from the United States, rid it is remarkable that they have peculiarly attracted attention from their superior construction and sailing. We' need not advert to the excellent :imber in the vicinity of ; Guayaquil, nor on the accommodation afforded by the river, which renders that city one of the most convenient spots on the globe for all naval and commercial purposes. There are at present residing in that port about 2,000 en rolled carpenters, six or eight ship-builders, and there is no deficiency of smiths, caulkers, or labourers in any de partment of naval architecture. Although the writer in the Chronicle boasts of having seen much of Colombia, his acquaintance with the terri tory of that state seems confined to a few spotron the northern shores; but we know not how to account for the total want of information he betrays as to every part of the subject lie professes to discuss. If he had ever heard of the gun-boats of Angostura, Puerto Cabello, and La Guayra ' he must have supposed that th e y were b u ilt in England or the United States. Ile apparently had no knowledge of ships built at Cumana ' manned by the Guay queri Indians of that province, and employed, for many years before the Revolution, in the contraband trade with our Colonies in the West Indies, nor of the British vessels captured by these rovers, during the last war with Spain. Other travellers, however, have long noticed and admired the skill and intrepidity oT those Indians at sea. Ships of a 'hundred tons and upwards have likewise been built at Maracaibo and at Carthagena. At the latter place the Spanish Guarda-Costas were usually built. But Colombia, according to this writer, not only cannot now build ships, but Dever will be able until a period " very remote. lie says, "I do not know a spot on the sea coast of Colombia, with any convenience for a working population, that is not a pest-house, where the life of' man is always so uncertain as must keep labour at enormous prices; Porto Cabello and Carthagena are worse climates than even Jamaica and Trinidad." Now the fact is, that the Havanna dues not enjoy a greater salubrity than any of the Colombian towns ; and if this circumstance did not prevent the Spanish Government from building a consider able part of their navy at that port, why should not similar results be obtained on any point of Colombia, however un healthy, if otherwise adapted to this purpose? As the writer in the Chronicle applies his observations " to all and every part of the late Spanish Colonies from California to Cape Horn," it may be as well to remark in reply, that the ships employed in the Chilian coasting trade are, for the most part, built in the ports of that state; that the same thing occurs at Realm in Guatimala ; and that vessels constructed in the interior of Buenos Ayres are brought down the Parana into the river Plata. ll'e are in possession of mercantile documents that would enable us, if we thought fit, to mention by name several of the ships that were employed about I' l o3, and for some thne after wards, in the navigation of the Paraguay, and to Europe, all built by the inhabitants of' those regions with the ma terials afforded by their own forests; but we have said enough to show the degree of credit to which the Corre spondent of the Moraine Chronicle is entitled.

The exertions of the Manager of this little theatre to amuse the public have been deservedly praised. nor have the latter been backward in patronising such efforts, sometimes even.at the expense of their better judg ment. It was, we are inclined to think, seine such feel ing, of indulgence that last night made the new piece go off with some degree of success. The jokes were few, and those few stale. A quick suc c ession of incidents, creating a tolerable portion of bustle, was what principally sus tained this unfarcical farce. The name of the piece is derived from the respective exertions of Anthony (Mr. F Wilkinson), and Frank (Mr. Liston), in forwarding the love suit of their master, Captain Irelhri! (Mr. Vining) with Sophia Fielding (Mrs. iVavlett). The humour of the piece, of eiurse, lies with the two valets, and dull enough it was even in their hands—in any others' it would have sent us to sleep. It was announced for repetition. this night amidst mingled applause and hisses ; the former, however, predominated. The house was crowded through out. POOR mAccrs CONCERT. We regret to find that the Concert so handsomely un dLrtaken for the relief of this unfortunate individual has not proved so productive as was expected, or as his neces sitous condition demanded. This falling off' is attributed to the circumstance of a lady 41 the Coat (lately so styled) thinking fit to give a grand party on the night appointed for the Concert, at her residence in Piccadilly. The lady to whom we allude, and who generally (Coiltte qui Cattle) doer things in a style of superior magnificence, not only invited all the fashionables in town, but also issued her commands for the attendance of all the principal per formers for the entertainment of her guests. The consz quence of' this general sweep was, that the Concert, the profits of which were intended to administer to the wants and comfort of the afflicted l'lacci, was bereft both of singets and company; and the result, such as we have already stated, viz. a total failure in the pecuniary proceeds of the undertaking. It is a gratifying fact, that amongst the fashionable groups at the Piccadilly fete, some were found who trans mitted the amount of their subscriptions, notwithstanding their absence from the Concert. In acting in so liberal a manner, these benevolent individuals could not but think they were paying a grateful homage to the feelings of their munificent hostess, whose charitable disposition since she ceased to ba herself a dependant upon the bounty of the public for a line of life more creditable and profitable, has been so often before the world. Last evening, at twenty minutes past eight o'clock, the King left town, in his travelling carriage, for his royal lodge, in Windsor Park.

The following letter front Cart z gives a fuller account of the late transaction at that Frt., when an endeavour was made by a French vessel to prevent his Majesty's fri ! gate Active from entaing before it hail performed quaran. tine. According to this stateno lit the affair assumt s a more serious complexion, and will render necessary sonic explanation of the circumstance : " Carta, Jrwx 24. " Ili? Britannic Majesty's frigate Active, lion. Capt. Rattner, arrived hers on the Itith instant, from Algiers and Gibraltar, I having on board the Portuguese Minister M. Pereira, to the Diq of Algiers. and a son of Sir B. Bloomfield. " The Envoi , paid over to the Dey 04,0110 dollars. His High. ness expreiesed himself satisfied, and the ancient relations it friefit_ ship were renewed between the two Governments, when the I'm. tuguese Consul was permitted to land, and to assume his dipin. matte functions. When the Active arrived in the hay of Cadiz, she was hailed by a French brig of war, which is stationed at the mouth of the Bay to enforce the Quarantine Laws; the Cotn. wander of the frigate replied, that as he was coming into a Spa , :ish pelt, be would recognize no flag but that of the Spanish na. don. A mutual explanation took place, and the boat belonging to 'the Board of Health was immediately despatched to put the usual questions to the frigate, when they were informed that she hail come from Algiers. Though listing remained in Gibraltar seven days, and at the same time producing a clean bill of health, yet a question arose as to the propriety of her being admitted to pratique. An extraordinary Board of Health assembled at three i o'clock to decide this important matter : President, the Co it. I manticr.in.Chief of the French forces. The French interest at thu • Board was against her being admitted unless she passed her usual quarantine ; but the Spaniards felt so pleased when they were formed that the Midst' Commander would not acknowledge the French Hag. that they all voted that she should be allowed pa. tiqu:. Hcr boats were consequently permitted to come on shore on Sunday morning .bout seven o'clock, after remaining twenty.four hours in quarantine ground. "On the Tuesday following the packet from England arrived off Cadiz, having a passage of ten days, She was brought to by the French brig about seven o'clock in the evening, in the.iputrantine I ground, to wait the arrival of the health officers ; the moment the commanding officer of the Active saw her enter the bay, he manned his boat anal went alongside of the packet, to know what assistance he con% renlier ltcr, or if she required any , at the same rime offer. ing to mon shore immediately the matja, and to provide her with such necessaries as she might stand in net of. When the Captain of the French brig saw the Active's boat alongside the packer. sent an impertinent message, to know.* who had the TF.3IEIII7I' to board the packet without his orders ?' The answer returned was, that "fhe Commanding Officer of his Britannic Majesty's frigatu Active. agreeably to, and in conformity with. Admiralty ortle:-., na RED to board his Majesty's packet, and would every other Er.;.:. Bah vessel which should enter the Bay of Cadiz durteg her star there, whether it should, or shouhl not, be agreeable to the Freniii Commander.' " The French took offence, and they now say they will put up no longer with such insults. hut ti; it their orders must be impli. citly obeyed. The Active leaves this to-morrow tar her donnas non. AU on board in licrfect health." FREEM.I.IONRY_IN COLOMBIA. The Catholic priests in Colombia have been malting a violent attack upon the freemasons, whom they elm' ge with. sinning against almost et'ery law, divine and human. The Colombian Papers, generally, have taken a warm part in the controversy in favour of the freemasons; and it is gratifying to witness the power which the press is already exercising in that country. The writers enter freely upon the discussion of the doctrines which the priests attempt to force upon the people; and by this means the Catholic system is brought at once to the test of rational argument. From a recent number of the Constitutional Caravan° we extract the following statements respecting the intrigues that have been carried on in Colombia, with a view to the establishment of the power of the Rounish priesthood:- -` Senor Pim the first agent of France who appeared here, ar. rived in this city in the month of September, 1823, enveloped like the asp atuidss flowers and botany. This was the least of his oc cupations. however, and tired of feigning, he proved what he was by his political conversations. and his favourite theme of the exile. thency °fa crowned head in Columbia. He thus paved the way, and in March of the following year, 3lr. Chassereau came :o te. pine him, who doubtless hod the land marks well pointed out to ham, sinc e lie came on them at once, and entered into communise. don with the heads of the Church. The compliments and main. lions which he received from this respectable body are public and notorious, whilst from the moment he put his foot on shore, he was an object of suspicion to all us her classes of society. Evening rides, and invitations in the town of Petare, were proofs of his polite re eeption among the higher ranks of the clergy : what need then of more evidence ? Mr. :Halm Drurt has openly avowed the secret, that one of the chief mana.avres that ought to be played off for sub. verting the Republic of Colombia, as well as the others of the new world, lab gain the clergy end friars, on account of their powerful !011ie:le e over tile people, aim are erroneously believed to be still ignorant of what is expedient for them ; and we should be as ignorant as the clergy think us, it we did not believe that 11.1 r. Chassereatt came to move this engine. Successive events will prove ' this. On the 7th of July, of die same year, 11124, being the anni. versary the Ihtal emigration of the patriots on the same day of I the year 1814, caused by the inroads of the sanguinary DOWN, a solemn service was celebrated inthe parish church of St. Paul, to the honour and glory of Santa Rita, the patronness of impose:. bilities. The funds of this ceremony were collected from the ohs. limbic contributions of various devout women, all rank Royalist,. The minion was preached by the Prebend Ramon Cominsoehn, is his thundering style, drew a picture of the perverse habits of the present day ; the decay of agriculture and commerce, ris compatil with former times (the tittles of the Spanish Government of coursia and finished by cursing the impious, heretical, and incendiary Alasans. The public whom he thought to gratify, felt aggrieved, and persons were not wanting to denounce the preacher to the le. tentlent, who, having called him to his presence, and satisfied Into or the sinister views which prompted his discourse, officially ral• dressed the Vicar-General, in charge of the Archbishopric, for the purpose of having him suspended from the ministry ; which was accordingly done." The artic'c goes on afterwards to state other attempts of this party to disturb the puhl c tranquillity. The object of I the priests is described to have been " the restoration of the dominion of Spain, and with it the privileges of the secular and regalar clergy, the Holy Inquisition, and the cross of Isabel the Catholic." An insurrection was at last nrosoftea at Petare, but immediately suppressed. One of the emai -1 rotors, Andreas Reyes, was disposed, previous to hit execu tion, to have given a full confession of his guilt, and to have named his accomplices, but the curate of the cathedral, QuINTIIIO, under pretence of administering spiritual com fort to the prisoner, persuaded him to forego his intention of revealing his accomplices. The consequence has bete, that Qui x TEIIO himself is now under prosecution. There seems to be no reason to dread the influence of the priests in Colombia. They have trial what they could do, sad they have found themselves powerless against the new Go. vernment. The press is successful in exposing the absur dity and injustice of their ptetcntions, and freemasonry will flourish in spite of their opposition. In such a country as Colombia this mode of association may be productive of many bent the ; and we are glad to find that there are indi viduals bold enough to deny the extravagant claims Kg up by the Rontish priesthood in the countries over which they act as the ministers of religion. NATIVE SCHOOLS IN INDIA. The immense importance of establishing schools for d diffusion in the first place of European, and ultimately Christian knowledge amongst native children in 'nit must be admitted by all who have seriously reflected upe themeans of extending Christianity in the East. Little progress, however, can be expected in this gre work, unless the mind has been vypared for its receptle by some previous instruction. 'I his point was re well and earnestly insisted on by the late Bishop Middleton the advantages to be derived from hence appear to bee less highly estimated by Bishop Heber—and the opinion t persons best acquainted with the East accords with the kin 6110113 of these distinguished individuals. To make provision for such insttuction has long been g object of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge 'and it has for a considerable time had schools for that Pe/ pose, under the superintendence and direction of Its agal b 'she success which has attended these exertions. partieula' ll at Calcutta, has answered its warmest expectations.
