All this has so much the air of a " ,hnnestic talc" from the Minerva past, that it multi hardly gain credit except from the eager retailers of tattle. It might, however, be easily supposed other* to have some ur foelatiou in truth— to be aoseCw einhellielred version of a real occurrence ; the more ro, as it would seem to he a liberal and moderate account of an affair which some years ago was the subject of general rumour, and (w. are ashamed to add) of very extended crtslit. For these reasons, it may he as well to state, that this pretended narrative is, from begioring to end, a pure fic tion. We take this oppornmity foetid, upon the authority of the illustrious Poet's nearest friends, that Lard Byron, sn f ire,,frorrs dear wegausintrd with Mrs. Mardrt, laver spoke to her in his trholesitili% This is one of the most curious and instructive examples of the operation of scandal that we ever heard of. No sooner was it known that Lord and Lady Byron had sepa rated, than the town rung with reports respecting the cause. Considering the anibleimens of the event, the high rank of his Lordship both in society and in literstaue, sal the excessive routine-es of " the Crest" for mangling each other's characters, this was natural enough. But then the particulars invented! The rube hood and malice are really astounding, which could connect with the unhappy affair 4 lady who had no MOM to do with it than the Queers of the Sandwich Islam's:and of the slightest acquaintance be tween whom and the Noble Author there was not the shadow of evidence.

The sensitive Poet, disgusted with the restliuces with which the public swallowed this nauseous trash, would not condescend to refute it. Mrs. M 441711 whose professional hopes wire on the point of being butted for ever, explicitly contt.alicted it in the journals, anti de • elated what we just now repeated—v:s. that she had never seen Lord Byron except In public, and had Deere once spoken to him. 'l'ie scandal-mongere, however, would not part with their precious morsel ; and the political bigots and comtptionists, who then began to perceive that the distinguished atal versatile genius concerned was a foe to th it dark and dirty proceedings--drowned the voice of truth by the din of their abuse. The illustrious Bard going abroad, they had the field clear to themselves. The calumny has continued currett ever since among that nu merous holly who take thinps on trust, and it now dies only wth its object. We has.. heard persons in decent society— iersons otherwise well informed and well disposed, repeat this baseless slander as it' it was acknowledges! :natter of fact! This little history may teach us two things :—first, not to put faith in reports, however positive and general,' of alleged tratisactioila in private families ; secondly, not, to believe a man guilty. because he does not contradict a gross imputation on his character, but to recoil. ct, that he, may feel too great a scorn for the illiberal and scandal-loving weakness of those who can credit things so odious against hint.

COIICEJINIXO Tut: ossinum..cosoirior or TEE . IN JAMAICA, &C,-.--MOXIIAY. On all 'Oleos a strict adherence to troth is essential, — on subjects inYolvinginterests of deep moment it is impe riously nece ;—its sary n nevereWel writer, whose express office it is to " lead us into all truth," it is indispensable. The,facts which are here vilified wren oath do certainly put the Reverend l'homssrooper into an unpleisant straight on the score of veracity. It was manifestly the duty of a per son in his station, if he undertook to report at all, to dis engage his subject from all those false mediums through which the uninformed might View Ti, and tp enable all concerned to come to a viund and well.duaifled conclusion. Every one Is authorised to complain Aose judgment on this important topic has b e en prejudiced and misinformed by this Reverend Reporter and Mr. HriSza'r, the writer of this pamphlet, is, beyond all others, interested in refut ing nll such erroneous ststeinents, inasmuch as they con cum peculiarly tilt slaves on the Georgia estate in Jamai ca, of which he is . the proprietor, and on which, therefore, if abuses of any kind exist, his charsetw stands 'responsible. We shall give hi* hn opportunity of speaking on this mat ter in person, by'quoting his preface:-- It has frequently been repreieattal to ant that I owed it to my native island, Jamaica, to offer sane 'reply to the *aversions cast upon its inhabitants in various publications, written by, se restive upon the 'tinhorns , or, the Rev. Thnnias Cooper, and more aye artily in that part of the pamphlet entitled " Negro Slavery," wi.ieh he now acknowledges as " a series of statements, which he uuthoriseel the Editor of that work to employ as he has-done." Mr. Cooper resided inure than three years upon my estate, coped icor gilt, in Jamaica, having been sent thither by me, toe the purpose of conveying religious and moral instruction to niy negroes a duty for what he was recommended to me as well qualllsd, although I knew that Ids creed was not that of the Church of England. Nei ther during his residence upon my estate, nor upon Ine visiting me after hiaretum, did he, directly or indirectly, catanstutteate to me those opinions asacerising the hash treatment and excessive labour of my people, which he has stated to the public. He ifittlfilled 111 C. indeed, soon after his arrival, that he intended to puWish sate se count of his mission ; and he commenced a narrative on that sub ject. by letters addressed to the Editor of the Moothro Repordory, l to which 1 paid little attention. Nor was I aware os the true elsa- 1 racier of his report until, at a subsequent period, without eel pre vious explanation of the nature or its contents, be sent me a copy of the pamphlet above mentioned, which is now generally understood to have been put together by 51r. Zachary Macaulay, *gentleman conspicuous as an adversary tonne colonial interests. I was sorry that Mr. Cooper should have committed himself into the hands of persons, whose views he might instrumentally serve without exactly comriehaiding their exteat ; but I took nu pub'ie notice of the permits et, feeling confidant that those who knew aey thing of Jamaica would ate that the picture thus presented was al together so unfaithful, and the general statements of Mr. Coo; cr ro devoid of truth, that little credit would be given to his details. For instance, when he roundly asserts, " that slaves have nothing to gain, and nothing to lose; that they have no chant:arra: stake ; that a good name is of no avail to them ; that their worth is eat. mated by the strength of their bodies ; and that that the ;cravat villain may be the most valuable slave," ete.; every one oho has even a slight acquaintance with the colonies, sees at once that these assertions arc untrue. Slaves becsinie rich, and arc protected in their property ; they beasine respected fur their moral qualities, and are valued and treated acconlin,„,ely. will here cite a tact, for which I can vouch. Mr. W. E. Nembhard, with the late 111 r. Adam Smith, gentlemen of the highest respectability, and resident in the neighbourhood. were requested to value the whole of the negroes upon an estate in the parish of Clarendon, adk-d Poem, which were about to be sold to 111 r. Dawkins ; and Mr. Nembhard assures me that a negro-driver. old, and almost past laboor, was valued at 1500 dollars, (upwards of 3501. sterling,) merely on ac count of his excellent character, and the influence which lie might thereby have upon the rem • which value must be at least three times as much as that of the average of the remainder. This I mention as a singular, but by no means a solitary, instance of valu ations upon& similar principle. Understanding, however, that the diligent circulation of Mr. Cooper's Report, uncontradicted as it stands, has made an impress. kioll in districts of the country, whence petitions to Parliament on the subject of Negro slavery have recently been presented ; and having observed that, in the course of a correspondence, carried on through the daily papers, betwixt him and my relation, Mr. Geo. Ilibbert, Mr. Cooper deliberately asserts, that the Report given under his authority in the pamphlet of Mr. Macaulay, was not too highly coloured ; and that the particular facts which are there brought forward, may be regarded asa fair specimen of what might be found on estates in general ;" I have felt it my duty, indepen dently of any personal amsideration, to endeavour to refute so gross a calumny ; and having lately received front Jamaica three state ments upon oath, which will be found mate: holy to coutradict Mr. Cooper's Itepott, I now give them to the public. In the corrispoodence of Mr. Cooper welt my relation, to which I bare alluded. it Is freely granted that iwatances of severity in the management of my negroes had occurred, during a part of the time when Mr. Cooper resided on my estate; but lio knew, although he was not forward to state it, that measures, to which lie was not in the remotest degree instrumental, had been applied , calculated to prevent a recurrence of any such abuses. It will he seen by theaflidavits which I now produce, that m• estate of Georgia does oil, as Mr. Macaulay and Mr. Cooper would fain have it thought, present " the most favourable representstwo of negro bondage ;" nor can I take credit for any kindness to my negroes, which I have not known to be practised on other proper. ties. Indeed I ant tame that there are iedulgenctis which other planters eflhni to their people, and which I have not yet adopted ; sines changes, calculated to do good, must not be rapid. I pro. fess myself to be, like the rest of my countrymen, most anxious to improve the condition of my slaves; I have a full conviction that it is my interest to do so. Mr. Cooper has been pleased, in some passages of his writings, to pay me compliments ; but born as 1 tun, a Creole, and having passed the twelve best years of my life in Jamaica, if I ant possessed of any kindly recline towards my slaves, I have learnt them in Jamaica, from the instructions of planters resident there. and from many of those whose distressed circumstances could little prompt them to make sacrifices. My morals and habit., such as they are, have been formed in the midst ' of that society which Mr. Cooper represents to be, "as to its re , been and morals, as bad as possible—eminently profligate, and where nineteen out of twenty white men are ruined as to their mo rals, before they have resided there a month !" The sweeping calumny, which Mr. Cooper has tented agairst the religious feelings of all the whites in Jamaica, has been pretty well exposed ; and the names of others with whom Mr. Cooper was acquainted, besides Mr. S. Vaughan, could be brought to Isis re. collection, of whom he ought to be ashamed to assert, that they , have no due sense of religion. They who are the most forward to talk upon such subjects, are not unfrequently such as think the least seriously about them. The three iffidavps I now publish, has been made by gemlewon totally incapable either of falsehood or emerepresentatton ; they will ter found, so far as respects Ceorgia es:nte, at great variances with Mr. l'onper's statement.. The deponents, it will be seen, un. dertake only to refute what Mr. Cooper has reported upon 'natters within their knowledge and direction; and the.e depositions have no relation to any new assertions advanced by Mr. Cooper, in his let ten to Mr. (keep Ilibbert, or in his pamphlet recently published, which productions had not reached Jamaica when three allidavlts were made. The public, however, upon comparing what is he e presentrel to them, with those parts of Mr. Cooper's report. to which the depositions refer, will judge of Cue degree of credit due to what Mr. f'ooper has stated concerning ostler properties, in cases where he has not hitherto met with so dime: a contradiction. I shall close these fe* remarks by saying, that it has been a great satisfaction to me to find, that the hop': of producing improvement in the moral condition of the mirrors is not h 0 groundleas, as Mr. Cooper would wish the world to believe, while he is uxuunting for the failure of hit own minion ; and that the affidavits which fol.

PORTUGAL. [EXTRACT OF • LETTER FROM LIABOX. 'FAWN, MAY 11, 111 - 2.1. You will have heard of the arrival of the King and Ptincemes on board the Wlalsor Castle, their dmarture. and of every circum stance that occumd during •hat period. Since then, our excellent Couttionntler received his Majesty's commands, that he matild honour hint with his presence to a ball and supper, on iVedoestlay the itttli. Every preparation was made, considering the shortness of the notice, and, I may say, that one of the most splendid enter tainnlents ever given on board ship, was witnessed that evening on the quarter-deck of the Windsor Castle. The deck was magnifi cently fitted up, forming a tent by the mandarin and flags of Eng had and Portugal, extending from the foremast to the taffrel, the booms being planked over. A most superb throne of velvet and gold was erected at the after -part of the quarter-deck, over which was steepen led the Crown of Portugal in variegated lamps. On the mainanast fronting was a picture of his Most Faithful Majesty, will a tmisparency of the Royal arms, tastefully decorated by laurel, and the sags of England, Pottage', France, Spain, and America. On the foremast was seen the Crown of England, with O lt. IV. in variegated la.nps ; added to which, two mag nideent glass chandeliers were suspended, anti, with lamps all rmnd the s tips. had, ampustionaTy, a most brilliant effect. His Majesty and Princesses tame on board at seven o'clock, under a Royal salute front the Portuguese squadron, and French line-of-battle ship, ;anti-Petri (which ship was splendidly 11- 6aminated in the evening, with their yank manned, and were re:eivid hr Captain Dashwood, his °dicers, the whole of the Corps - Diplumatique, all the respeetalde English residents in Lisbon, and such of the Nobility as had arrived. Ills Illejesty was occupied till near nine o'clock with the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, and fireat Officers of State, in the after-cabin, when the hall was opened by Marquis Palmella anti blarchiuness Anjega, followed by between thirty and forty couple, in two rows. Quadrilles and waltzes were danced the renteinder of the night. Itetween four and lire hundred people of the first distinttion were present, including the Admiral, and nearly all the Officers of the cianti-Petri. The whole of the Opera Rand occu pied the puop for the dancing, and a full military band, stationed at the fore part of the ship, delighted the company by playing "teautiful anti select piece,. of notate during the evening. In one of the intervals, a song, composed for the occasion, highly etmipli inentary to his Majesty and l'rincesses, and justly applauding ' Sir E. I'l3olTholl and the rest of the Corps Itiplomatique, for their strenuous exertions during the late proceedings, was sung by Sir John Milky Doyle, at the particular request of the King. Ices and refreshments of all kinds were in abundance. At one o'clock the King and l'rincesses retired to the cabin to su per (the eons puny did the same to the wardroom and half-deck . Capt.

Our Commandant of Marine has published a letter received from a respectable house in the ilavannali, stating that the Spanish sloop of war La Ceres, which sailed on the :Nat March on a cruise, was captured on the 4th April uetween Santa Crust and Tanen, after 1 having ',hewn a sigorwitiS resistance against two *lmp., two Cutters, and a small brig. This news having arrived at I avannah, Laborde Immediately sailed with his little squadmn, swearing that he would pnish or retake the sloop, and that he would sink every Colombian yawl lie o n e with. At Cervera, a Go/defier, in lately preaching to the populace, af fected to prophecy that there would be no hatveat in the country until los Negros were exterminated. At *heft there was lately a great religious procession with all the relies that could be found : the concourse of the faithful was so' great that the church riot being Wile to contain them all, it was re- I I solved that a sennon should lie pr ached within and anothe► , without the temple. The orator within was Father Ron, who in' the time of the constitution was eltligol to fly into France, in come quenee of being found guilty hr a jury of having written some seditious acmes. ilia Reverence had nearly the same Language to his auditors as the priest at Cerrem; but the :Honk who preached on the outside endeavoured to impress his hearers with Evangelical principles, maintained on the contrary the necessity of reconciliation and pardon of injuries. adding that if they did not for five their ene mies, find would punish then. with the destruction of their haavest. The semums ended, the fervent faithful within left the church. de-, elating their resolution to put in execution the cottosch of Friar lion, which the ont.door hearers violently opposed ; so violent was their dispute that for •u tie minutes they came actually to blow.; happily their quarrel was app,ased, anti the counsels of the Evan plical preacher triumphed. Near to lqualada and Piero the inha bitants assembled to offer up their prayers to Heaven for rain ; uns fortunately their vows were not favoureal, for instead of rain there fell a dreadful ►berm of hail for more than an hour, which did the most serious ravages in the country.

AMERICAN "Akin!. . Last Ulght we received New Yost Papers to tEe Ado of May. Ik appears that the Tariff Thud had undergone con siderable Modification in the senate. On the 24th of April the amendpeuts of the Committee of Comm( me were all adopted. Mi. - Mills moved the rejection of the clause " on iron, in bars or bolts, not manufactured, in whole or in part, by ninety cents. per hundred and tw e lv e hounds weight,' which, after a long debate, was carried by a majority of one—the numbers being 24 for, and 23 against it. On the following day Mr. Lloyd moved, that the clause imposing a duty of two cents. on hemp should be struck out, which, after a warm debate, was also car ried by an exactly similar majority. On the sth of May the consideration of the measure was resumed, on the motion of Mr. Elliot, to strike out that part of the Bill which establishes the minimum for the calculation of the duties on cotton cloths, snd cotton twi , t, yarn, or thread. 'this motion was negaiived.—Mr. Eaton of Tennessee, then moved to amend the Bill in the proviso respecting the minimum on cotton goods, so as to make the minimum of 33 cents. per yard inapplicable to goods which cost 13 cents., and less than th a t p r i ce , an d to leave those goods subject only to the present existing minimum of 25 cents. per yard. After Mlle discussion, the proposed amendment was rejected. On motion of Mr., Holmes, of Maine, the minimum on cotton cloths was reduced from 3.5 to 30 cents. He then moved to amend the Bill by striking out the following clans: :—" On all foreign-distilled spirits, 15 per cent. upon the duties now imposed by law, and in addition thereto," which motion was decided in the affirmative. Mr. Smith then moved to strike out the clause imposing duties on unmaionfactured wool ; but the Senate adjourned without taking the (plea tion. Several of the New York Papers consider that the amendments agreed to in the Senate will ultimately destroy the measure altogether. SOUTH AMERICA. [From the Hampshire Tekgraph.l On Wednesday his Majesty's ship Blossom, Capt. A. M`Lean, arrived from the South American station, bring ing about two millions and a half of dollars, on merchants' account, and despatches from Rear-Admiral Sir Geotge Eyre, Commander-in-Chief there. The Blossom sailed from Callao Std December, Valparaiso ':lst January, and Rio Janeiro 19th March. The Blossom having had a long passage, the letters ftom our Correspondents (which we subjoin) are not of so late date as those contained in former papers, but they contain sonic facts of interest:— (..assao, Dec. I. 1823. The Blossom, Capt. Maclean, will take this. She sails hence for Valparaiso and England, with a freight of two millions of dol lars, merchants' money; an d it is expected that the Fly, 18, Capt. W. F. Martin, will be mom despatched to Rio Janeiro, with a million of dollars; she is at present at Valpiraiso. The Aurora, IS, Capt. 11. Prescott, C.R. is gone to San Illas ; it will be the end of July next before she leaves olds side of the Continent for Itio and England ; she will also take ala ye height. There is at San Bias a great quantity of specie, to be s.Lt to Panama, and thence to Ja maica (West Indira), to be invested in the purchase of British ma. nufactures. The Aurora will ship it at San Blas, far Panama. 'l'he political Constitution of the Peruvian Republic was the other day sworn to at Lima by the principal authorities, and by all the ' military, clerical, and civil classes. It was conducted with much ' pomp and ceremony. Don Jose Ilernado Tagle has been, by the constitutional Congress, declared Pretident of the Peruvian lie ' public for four years. Half of the members of the Congress go out at the end of two years, and the other moiety at the expiration of the next two years. General Miller is appointed Adjutant-General of all the Patriot farces, and Commander.in-Chicf of the Peruvian army. Notwithstanding Tagle is President of the Republic, 8011. var exercises the supreme authority, both civil and military, in that the thre; meet is as yet in a very crude state. But it may be ob. served, that, as the presence of Bolivar is always required in the field of action, It may be necessary that Tagle should take care of the immediate concerns of the Government. Ile is, however, in this sense, only an instillment of liolivar'a upon whose exertions depend the final liberation of Peru ; and it is a propitious circum stance, that all claws admire his conduct and general character. The Liisratailor (Rohrer) embarked the other day at Callao. for Truxillo, with about 6,000 troops. His object is said to be to get hoht of Ries Aguera, who has discoveria some feelings fa vourable to the cause of the Royalists; but it is expected that Bolivar will succeed in securing his feeling in the Patriot service by pacific means; at any rate he will prevent his taking his troops (about 3,000) over to the enemy. The Royalist forces have lately been represented to lonalst of 20.000 men, goon troops; but it is said this account i.. greatly exaggerated, and their whole force is not more than 11,04 M men. Bolivar's title of Libnitador means something more than Mimi dent of the Republic. We have no doubt here hut that he will succeed in establishing the independence of Peru, although the war may probably be protracted to a period beyond that expected 4 abort time since. The chief cause of the failure of the Patriots is want of unanimity in the persons ekerrising the principal autho rities, and the Commanders of the armies. An expedition , under the protection of Admiral Guise, left Aurica on the 24th, for Truxillo. The object is, to concentrate all the Republican forces at Santo facto Truxillo), and thence to enrn metier the next campaign; the 2d division of the semi , has already marched front Santa. It is reported that Royalists, about 5,000 in number, are at Oche, about 140 miles front !Atria, and on their march thither. There is no difficulty in their taking possession of Lima, and all they can do is to eillage it. But while the Patriots retreat to Callao, the port of' Lima, and about six miles possessing strong fortifications, the Royalists can gain no further benefit than plunder. The Liberating Army of Pent con sists of Buenos Ayrians, l'olombians, and Peruvians; in the whole about 10,000 own. A loan of 200,000 dollars has been lately mulct° the Gov;ninient, bearing nn interest of 100,000; and, to secure the liquidation of this debt, as well as some others of longer standing, two English Merchants, with four natives, base been appointed l'onsmisaioners of the Customs, with authority to appropriate two.thirds of the Ilevenue to this object, and the other tune-third goes to the public Treasury. These Commissioners have the complete control of tho Customs : and it is expected that the Republican Government will reap great benefit by this regulation: it is at any rate a wise and liberal act of Bolivar's, and discovers a good disposition to regard the claims of British Merchants; to whom he says, the country is greatly indebted. Ile has, also, by a Bandit lately issued, restored all confiscated property: and the pub lic purse is to provide for all losses. RIO JANEIRO, MARCH 10.
