W.. will inquire to-day personally respecting the correctness of thtlice report we published on %I ednesday, from Lambeth-street *Wee. If it should tura out that the statement we were induced to contradict is true. the party shall suffer signally for his impudent attempt to deceive us. gur but contemptuously of the wisdom that guides the councils of the Golden konarch. Our Indian army is most anxious to meet the enemy in the field ; and we are glad td find that none partake wore strorgly of this feeling than our native troops. The advice' received from Paris in the course of yester day confirm the report of an intended Congress of Sove reigns at Milan, which was mentioned in the important intelligence from Madrid we exclusively published in the morning. I'Ve have repeatedly expressed our persuasion, that acme attempt will be made on the independence of the new American States by the Holy Alliance, if the pecuniary means for fitting out an expedition can be raised; and we have not hesitated to declare our utter distrust of the pacific professions made by the French Government. For these opinions we have stated our reasons distinctly, and we have no doubt satisfactorily, to our readers. Within these few days several facts have transpired, which clearly sliew that the project of recover ing the Spanish colonies in America is in a train of pre paration. The new Spanish loan will, we dare say, in some shape or other, be brought into the market. Ferdi nand will promise any terms to his new creditors; and as the contractors will take care, with their knowledge of the character of the transaction, to make a safe bar gain for themselves, they will most likely continue to sell their bad debt at a large profit. The contractors for the Poyais loan lost nothing by issuing the bonds of MacGregor, though every sane man in England foresaw that neither principal nor interest could ever be paid. The Spanish Government, therefore, do not miscal ; culate, when, relying on the proceeds of their new loan, they send out agents to buy up vessels for their American armada. None of our leading capitalists, we firmly believe. will take any share in this disgraceful fraud on the British public; but there are needy and dishonest adventurers enough, who will be tempted to undertake a speculation by which they may, in case of success, make an immense sum, while, in case of failure, they have neither fame nor fortune to lose. As soon as this loan shall be negociated, the next step will most probably be, to hold the Congress, which can have no object but the subjugation of America. There is no other question of sufficient importance to call together the members of the Holy Alliance. The Gi _ek contest is yet undecided, and some years hence it may re main so ; at least the war between the Greeks and the Turks may be continued. Whatever professions France may have made as to its policy in regard of Spanish Ame rica, the Congress will annul them. As a single mem kr, France must submit to the decision of the majority, and we know that the other members are all avowedly and deeply hostile to the independence of America. Mean while France, by professing a liberal feeling, gains whatever information may be useful when the violence is to be carried into effect. M. Hurtado is invited to Paris, and M. Samuel is sent to Mexico. We observe, by the by, that the Journal des Debats alludes to the mission of this person In a somewhat mysterious manner. M. de Chateaubriand remarks, that M. Samuel is sent to Mexico only by the Go vernor of Martinique, and not by the French Government. The word of M. de Chateaubriand is important as to this affair, as be must have been acquainted, while a Minister, with the real design of sending out this spy. Throwing aside all confidence in the declarations of the French Go vernment, and bearing steadily in mind the instructive his tory of the cordon sanitaire, we wish our countrymen to watch the conduct of the Allies, and of France particu larly, with regard to South America. A great blow is me ditated. Every fact tends to that conclusion. Let us be on the alert to protect our interests in the forthcoming struggle. F.ISIIIOA4BLIt INTELLIGEAVE. Sir Frederick Baker.

Farren made his first appearance in the character of Doctor Cantwell. We cannot applaud either his conception or execution of this part. Perhaps we are o fully pre-occupied by the favourable impressions made upon us by Dowton's excellent performance of it, that we are hardly able to judge fairly of the effort made 'iv Farren. but it appeared to ua that thov was too inuch of that hard outline which usually attaches to all Farren's playing. The smooth oily hypocrite of Dowton exactly meets the ideas every man had formed of the character before he sees it represented on the stage. The caustic sharpness of Farren is less suitable to this than perhai s to an! part he ever assumed. The announcement of the re petition of the comedy on Monday was, however, received with great applause by a very crowded audience. Mrs. Chatterley's Charlotte was exceedingly well played, and bountifully rewarded by the ready approbation of the house. fit. CANNING.—The inquiries after the health of the Bight Honourable Secretary yesterday were very nume rous. We are happy to state, that both at Gloucester' Lodge and the Foreign Office the answer was, that he coo. tinued to get better. Mr. Greenwood entertained the Dowager Duchess of Rutland and a select party at dinner on Wednesday, at his villa, OM Brompton. The Rev. M. Fenwick, Bishop of Cincinnati, in North America, is now at Antwerp. Miss Paton is considerably recovered from her illness.— We understand she has entered into an engagement with Mr. Arnold, and will shortly succeed Miss Stephens, at the English Opera House. Haar' NOS, Aco. 25.—An inhabitant of this place has, within the last few days, purchased an estate called Bo hemia, situated within a miarter of a mile of the west end of the town ; and such is the rage for building, that we understand he has refused a profit of several thousand pounds on his purchase ; and this too, notwithstanding the proprietor of an adjoining estate is about to erect a number of houses (report says some hundreds), on his property.

The total of the force under orde rs for the expedi tion against the Burmese amounted to 20,000 men. viz. 12,000 from Bengal, 6,000 from Madras, and 2,000 from Bombay. Captain Canning was to accompany the exredi tion as political agent. lie was to embark at Calcutta, in the Company's yacht Nereid, on the 10th of April. The Diana steam-boat had been purchased by the Government for 80,000 rupees, in order to proceed with the expedition. Sir Edwanl Paget, the Commander-in-Chief, arrived at Calcutta on the 22l March from the interior, and hail been unremittingly employed from the slay of his arrival in making the necessary arrangements for the expedition. The subscription at Calcutta, for the relief of the distressed settlers in Southern Africa, had exceeded 11,000 rup:es, and that at Bombay was upwards of 4,000. The following are further extracts : CALCI"TTA, APRIL 5. It appears from recem accounts, that the Burmese Governor of Assam lost his two Golden Chattalis and state palankeen in Cachar. Atter being driven out of that province. the second in command I was ordered to march to Goalparah, to cffer a sum of money fur the purpose of inducing our Government not to enter AS1•3111, and he had proceeded one day's journey when he was in:tamed that we had (on the 10th March) set tire to Assam Choky, upon which he preeipitately returned to Gowahattv. The Singh Phoes and Khumtees hare been attacking and plundering the Assam territory, which has greatly annoyed the Bunnese. The Governor of Aslant continues at Itusaah with about 1,000 men, but some are wounded, and a great number had lost their fire-arms and swords in Cachar. The Burmese contrived to carry off with them 1,000 head of cattle. BOMBAY. Arndt 10. The substance of the despatch brought by the Malabar, from the Viceroy of Pezu„ to the Soprenne government, is given in the Cakutta Gazette of the na ult. its under: TIIE BURMESE. We are authorised to state that the 31alabar, lately arrived from Rangoon, ha brought letter from the Viceroy of Pegu. in answer to the remonstrance addressed to the Court of Ave, in November last, on the subject of the cottage at Shapooree. The following ie the substance of the reply : " The letters brought by the English ship were delivered, anti can the petition being submitted to the Ministers of the Most Fee tunate King of White Elephants.

The letter then p-.ceeds to state that Sheen Mabu or'Sha poorer, is a dependency of the four gieat cities, and because British Sepoys ware stationed there, the Governor of Aswan re quested, in the first instance, that they might be withdrawn, and afterwards caused them to be expelled by royal authority. The Governor of Areacan having represented that three ships and three boats are stationed on the opposite side of the Naar, and that a stockade has been erected on the island, and also that his messenger, on arriving at Chittarong, was confined there; if this be true, the Viceroy observes, " know that the governors on the Burmese frontier have full authority to art, and that until every thing is settled, a communication need not be made to the Golden Feet."

By intelligence from Kat/Twee we learn, that the notorious flaws Walla has at last met the fate he has so lung merited. lie was attacked, on the tith instant, in Besaawaddar, by Hursoor, a Katty chief, with whum he had long been at enmity, and was slain by him in a desperate conflict. It may . be in the recollection of many of our readers, that this person, in 1820, carried off !Acute. mint Grant. of the Hon. Company's Marine, while in the /ruin war's service, and kept him in captivity fur three months, during which time he was treated with the most savage cruelty. For some years past Bawa Walla has been little heard of; but having lately resumed his former predatory course, apprehensions were enter tained that he would be the cause of disturbances in that part of the country, when his career has boa thus unexpectedly closed by death. - _ The Ganges, Captain Mitford, arrived here on Satur day, the 21st inst., from Bombay, sailed on the 2tith April. On the same day four transports left Bombay for Madras, with troops, to act against the Burmese. His Majesty's sloop of war Alligator was the only British vessel at Bombay when the Ganges sailed.—Liverpool Advertiser. We have received Charleston Papers to the 29th ult.— They furnish some important information respecting the insurrection among the black troops at Callao. It is stated that a Royalist General (supposed to be Camerae, though we should doubt it) went on board an American vessel of war, and, disguised as a sailor, proceeded frequently on shore, ascertained the disaffection among the troops of the fortress, occasioned by the arrears of their pay, bribed them with large sums of money, of which he is reported to have been very lavish, and produced the surrender of, Callao and the consequent evacuation of Lima by the In- dependents. The circumstance was related to Bolivar, who is reported to have declared his determination to hang the American Captain if he landed in any place in his sion. The Americans appear to be very unpopar eli a - t Lima, as we find an urgent request was made by the Cap tains of the vessels under the United States flag, to Cart. Hull, Commander of the American force in the Pacific, to come to their protection, as neither the lives nor the property of the American citizens were safe, either from the Royalists or Independents. Co ro )DlA.—The following is an extract from a private latter, dated Bogota, 9th.of Jun.:—Mr. Henderson, the Consul-General, has presented representations to the Go vernment here, on the impolicy of the regulation by which li none but Republican citizens can enter goods at the Custom-house; and we have great hopes he will succeed in getting this obnoxious regulation removed. Mr. Hen derson is indefatigable in his attention to business, and be I Is listened to with much attention by the Ministers. The British Government could not have done a wiser thing, if they think the trade with this country worth their not ic, than 'eluting Consuls here. It will be productive of the good. The Congress have determined on support lifigairolivar in Peru, with the utmost vigour. Reinforce-, ments have been ordered to be sent to him from all parts. They say here, that the war shall not be conducted in a "handler's shop style ; but that the Peruvians shall see what it is to have Colombian support. By another letter of the same date, we learn that Colonel Flores had recom menced operations with complete success against the rebels of Pasto, and that the inhabitants of Pasto were generally is his favour. A letter from La Guars, dated the 7th of July, six days later than our last advices, states that the Intendant of that department had received orders to send off large reinforcements to Bolivar in Peru. They will go by sea to Chagrcs, from whence they cross the Isthmus to Panama, and there embark for Peru. General Pacz had summoned all the officers to his head-quarters ; among the rest, Colonel Stopford, the Editor of the Colunddano, which had occasioned the Paper to be suspended. ENGLISH CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.--A private meet ing of the Catholic Committee took place yesterday, at Denmark-street, preparatory to the general meeting of that body in October. Several letters were received from the prin cipal towns of England in which Catholics reside, expressive of the wannest approbation of the institution of the Asso ciation and of its proceedings, and holding out the promise of every assistance and co-operation to procure the restora tion of their civil and religious liberties. The principal business that occupied the attention of the meeting was the consideration of a report which bail been inadvertently circulated, of the unwillingness of the English Catholics to co-operate with the numerous and respectable body of the same persuasion in Ireland. The utmost anxiety pre vailed to disclaim emphatically agaii.st such a sentiment on' the part of the English Catholics, and accordingly Dr. Collins,after having dwelt for some time on the importance and necessity of a union of interest and sentiment between the Catholics of both countries, made a motion expressive, of the alacrity of the Association to act at all times in con junction with their brethren in Ireland. The motion was carried with acclamation. Ceuta AND SPRING AT THE Moons—Many distin guished characters from the south arc this aeason taking their pleasure in the Scottish moors; and on Saturday Mr. Cribb and Mr. Spring., the English champions, passed through Glasgow in the same pursuit.

'lenge the criticism of every one, however little he may be acquainted with art in general. But that this is not her sole strength we think we can easily prove, b y giving as a specimen her pi cture of " Uncle Adam, a rich old man, whose feelings are at ',once powerful and relentive, but whose temper has bees !soured by an early disappointment in love. The heroine of the story, whose grand-uncle he is, visits him in com . pany with ler mother. Mr. Ramsay sat be the side of the expiring fire, seemingly no. templating the ha d and cinders which lay scattered over the hearth ; but he had somewhat the air of a man prepared (rather unwillinglyi to receive company. 11e we, above the middle see, I with high stooping shoulders, sharp mas-looking elbows, jecting tar beyond hie back, a somewhat stormy blue fare, and little pale eyes, surmounted by shaggy white eye-brows. His ordinary head-piece, a striped woollen right-cap, had been laid aside for a capacious powdered peruke with ride curls, and a large queue. To complete the whole, he was left-handed, which gave peculiar awkwardness to his naturally ungainly des.ortment. Ile welcomed Mrs. St. Clair with a mixture of cordiality and awk. ' wardnesa, as if he wished to be kind, but did not know very wen bow to set about it. She had too much manner, however, to allow • non to remain antler any embarrassment on that score ; and wow : s9ueezing uncle Adam's somewhat !clubs hand, and smiling as his rugged visage, and uttering a thousatol soft and civil thing. to Ihis rather averted ear, when suddenly al- stopped, for she felt ilist all was thrown away her uncle had flied his eyes on Gertrude, sad regarding her with visible emotion, seemed unconscious of my other object. " Who is that ?" at length demarded he, in an agitated vent. " Pardon me, my dear uncle," replied Mrs. St. Clair, " bat, in my happiness at seeing you, I forizut that my daughter was like. wise a stranger to you.' . " Your daughter !" exclaimed Mr. Ramsay, " it's not pea. sible !" •• Why so, my dear uncle ?" asked Mrs. St. Clair with a 'mile, and in full expectation of a gallant compliment on her own youth. ful appearance. " She's the very picture of —; but you'll no mind Liza Lambe-bonny Lizzie Landis" He gave a sort of growling and a pause followed. V isioos of former days seemed to crowd into the old man's mind, and he went on as if communing with himself. I little thought when I parted frse her, fifty years coos Martinmas, that I had ta'en my last look o' Lizzie ; and as little did I think, when I heard she was gane, that I should ever live to see her like in this world-no that she just matches Lizzie nei. thee ;" and something like a tear gleamed in his eye, as he ens. tinned to gaze on the image of his youthful fancy. Gertrude's style of dress was such as helped to heighten the illusion owing to the heat of the day, she had thrown off her bonnet, and the baud that confined her hair wore almost the appearance of the roof which had been the prevailing fashion for damsels of Limit's degree in her day ; her tbroat also was uncovered, and the whole COMM of the head was thus displayed at once in all the simplicity of nature, and one more strikingly beautiful could scarcely br conceived. Confused by the blunt admiration thus expressed for her. Gen trade looked to her mother, and, struck with the deadly pawl of her countenance, she hastily exclaimed, "Mamma, you am ill i t and Mrs. St. Clair, gasping for breath, sunk almost lifeless is her daughter's arms. " Air-sir," was all she could articulstet and that certainly was the one thing needful in uncle Adam's ape& merit, for the atmosphere was indeed suffocating. The nasal window were instantly thrown open ; Gertrude held a glee d water to her mother's pallid lips; and 31r. Ramsay stuffed a bench of southernwood into her powerless hand. At length these restos tires appeared to produce their effects, and Mrs. St. Clairslowly revived: Due apologies were of aurae made and accepted; de uncommon heat of the day was much commented on, sad the closeness of the room delicately hinted at. Some refreshments, Dot of the choicest description, were now brought in by the great awkward heavy, footed maid-servant ; and Mr. Ramsay, taking glass of wine, drank a welcome to hie niece on her return to Scat. land, " and to the bonny creature you've brought with you," wind he, again axing hit eyes on Gertrude. "Aker all," continued* " the thing's not impossible-Lbee was a relation of ours-a distant one to be sure ; let me see-Lizzie's father and my NM were cousin-germains' bairns-but that'll no do, for it's by the other side o' the house-it was by my father." Mrs. St. ('lair's colour rose to the deepest crimson, and she seemed straggling to subdue her feelings. At length, making ea effort at self-control, she said, with affected pleasantry-" 1 bast no doubt my daughter hot great reason to be flattered at the MAN blame you lave discovered for her-but, my dear uncle, yes bow there are certain prejudices-certain notions that SODS penetrate. rain.

" Set them up with their pride !" cried Mr. Ramsay-+ll tolls emotions giving way to indignation ; " their pride hurt, inhibit, at being compared to lassie Lundie I-There's no a Routine are St, Clair among them that e'er I saw was fit to tie Lizzie Landis's shoe-the Queen upon the throne might have thought it an bone to be compared to Lizzie ;"-and the little chamber seemed e though it would not contain hint in his wrath, as he paced upon down its narrow bounds, with his hands crossed behind his beds all shyness and embarrassment had vanished in this burst of pr stun, and uncle Adam stood revealed in his own character. Thus soddenly stopping-" And what would ha'e conic o' ye if Lisa Lundie had been what I :tore thought she would ha e b e en-m/ wedded wife P-What would your Rossvilles ha'e done then!
