The new ,Regency, although ostensibly ap pointed by Spanish Authorities, was really nomi nated by the French Government, in proof of which it is only necessary "to remark that their Mimes were published at Paris, as the intended Regency, before the Supreme Councils of Castile and the Indies were called together to give an appearance of Spanishorigin to their institution. But, the Spanish Regency being now in stalled, —and not only recognized by the Duke d'ANGOULEME, but by the French Government, who have sent off the Marquis DE TALAnu as their accredited Minister at Madrid, —the French, unless they are well assured of an extensive de fection from the Government of the Cortes, ap pear to us to have only increased their difficul ties. It is some time since we stated that they had come to the resolution of entering into no negotiations or compromise with the Constitutionalists. By the appointment anti recognition of a Regency, they have now abso• lutely deprived themselves of the option of doing so, whatever may be the future events of the war. Having recognized and proclaimed the Duke DEL INFANTADO and his associates as the only legitimate Government for Spain, " during the King's captivity," they have in fact denied the attributes of a Government to the Court and Cortes at Seville, and have therefore cut themselves off from the possibility of an arrangement with those Spanish authorities whom they have denounced as the Gaolers of their King,—the usuirers of his power,—and the enemies and oppressors of their wank)]. Wit!► a Government so stigmatized, the French can never treat ! In this dilemma (for a dilemma it will be found to be, unless the Government of the Corte: is really about to crumble to pieces), much must de pend on the firmness, the 'patriotism, and the prudenCe of the new Regency, who are not necessarily precluded, like the French, from en deavouring to effect an accommodation with the Constitutional Government. If they apply them selves to this great work, with purely Spanish feelings, and, holding themselves wholly free from foreign dictation, and from every appear ance of a disposition to favour foreign projects, manifest an unequivocal and an inflexible deter- urination. to consult only the reconciliation r of Spanish parties, and the real interests of their own country, we may venture to hope, that they are destined to work out the deliverance of Spain from the multiplied afflictions by which'she is so severely visited. PRIVATE AND AUTHENTIC CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, MAY :W.—The crisis is now arrived for the display of the real intentions of France : her armies have entered Madrid. His Royal Highness the Duke d'ANGOULESIE has met with no opposition, in a line of four hundred miles. Demonstrations of joy and gratitude have hailed his arrival every where. Although these are to be taken cunt ! , nano salis, for we know how mobs, cheerings, processions, addresses) and proclamations, are got up in our own coun try, yet it shews that the indisposition to receive the French is much less than was believed, — that the nobles, the clergy, and the peasantry are alike unfriendly to the Cortes,—and that the commercial class alone is with them, I t is with the demonstration of this fact that the Provisional Government will commence its opera tions. The Duke del INFANTADO, recently exiled by FERDINAND, is to be at its head, and most of the Grandees, and the Episcopacy, have signified their adherence to the plan. Some, in their indiscreet zeal, have entreated the Duke trAtinouLEmc to accept the Re gency, which he has formally refused, and he has declared that his Government wilt neither take any part in the new Government, nor inter fere in its views or operations, and that the sole object of France and of the Allied Powers is to see Spain rescued from the Government of the Cortes, and the KING re-established on the Throne, and free in his person. As to the Con stitution, France will no further interfere than to offer her advice on the equilibrium of powers, and the means of securing the stability of the throne by proper institutions. The Marquis de TAL . Anu departs on Monday the 2d of June for Madrid. Charleston Papers arrived to the 27th April, but do not contain any information of cause- cluefce. We are authorized to say that' the assertions respecting the state of hiS MAJESTY, which have lately appeared in some of the Papers, are not only erroneous, but in most respects totally un founded.—illorning, Post.

FASHIONABLE PARTIES. Lady ORESSL/Y opened her house last night in Conduit. street, for the friends of Miss Spence, a lady whose literary productions are well known to the public. There was a very numerous party, consisting of many fashionable characters and several beautiful women. Refreshments were abundantly pro. vided, and an ample cold collation followed.

The Nortimitillorland mid Newcastle-upon- Type Vitt Club held their annual meeting to celebrate the anni versary of the birth of the Itigbilion. W. PITT, oil Wednes day lait. The Chair was filled by .A. J. C. BAKE 11., Esq., Arid the Vice-Chairs by J. L. Loraine end Mathew Bell, Esqrs.— The meeting was very numerously attended—the usual toasts were drank, as well as - many additumal ones applicable to the present political state of Europe, and the 'company did not sepa rate until a late hour. . • • sHnibps.' • . On Wednesday last, .he members of the North and. South Shields Pitt Club and a number of Gentlemen visitors:cele. brated the Anniversary of the Birth-day of the late illustri ous statesman,' at Oyston's, South Shields; u- BERT IfEnow, Bart. presiding. The : dinner and wines, were of the first order fruits and every ., delicacy in plenty...- The first toast, " the King," with four times four, was fol-. lowed by " the Duke .of York and the other branches of, the- Royal Family." The President, after paying appropriate compliments to the memory of the late Statesman, (the occasion of their annual festival,) announced the toast of the day—" The, immortal memory .of the late Right Ho nourable William, Pitt," which was drank in silence and standing. An Ode, written expressly for the occasion, was then . recited with impressive effect, some of the verses eliciting particular applause. Then followed " the memory of the good old King George the Third," with the sami'de corous silence. " The House of Brunswick," :with the regular accompaniments—three times three. Then fol lowed, "His . Majesty's Ministers, and may the principles of Mr. Pitt ever animate the British Councili"—three times three. On silence being obtained, the Vice-president, Mr. Richardson, rose and delivered some suitable encomiums on the measures and principles of the deceased patriot. and of his successors, the pre sent Ministers. He took occasion to observe that the princi ples of Mr. Pitt bad diffused light throughout Europe and the. cultivated world ; those principles contained in them the seeds of wisdom, and deep reflection as to what would ultimately con duce to the civil happiness of mankind ; and spewed that nations who have acted, and who were now ,acting on his views of so ciety and political economy experienced the effects his, of well-regu lated monarchy. while others taking only superficial views, were plunging into all the depths and miseries of selfish ambition.— During the course of his speech, he paid some well-timed com pliments to the conduct of. the present Ministers, and spewed t by their firmness, and that of their Ambassador , the Duke o f Wellington, the country had been saved from being precipita ted into the vortex,of war, and that it was now plain to a corn. mon unprejudiced observer, that the country was thriving and enjoying the effects of peace; wealth would , of course, follow, while the distress lately complained of was gradually taking wing. AU this he attributed to the firmness of administration walking inflexibly in the paths of Mr. Pitt. " The Presidents and Members of die Pitt Clubs throughout the kingdom," and other appropriate sentiments, followed. The day was concluded in joyous harmony and hilarity. BRISTOL. The triennial celebrati o n of this event took place in this city on Wednesday last, in the spacious Hall of the Merchants' Society, the use of which they very kindly grant ed for this special occasion. When we say that the day passed oft' with that enthusiasm and harmony which have always cha racterised every meeting of our fellow-citizens to celebrate the talents, virtues, and memory of this great statesman, we only, repeat what we have so often been proud to record; but tins being the first triennial meeting held by his admirers in this city, we are happy to add, that time and the unfrequency of the occasion do not seem to have effaced the recollection of his name, and the many virtues which adorn it, and which make him ever memorable' in the estimation of his countrymen. The Chairman was our worthy Magistrate Mr. ALDERMAN DANIEL, and he wns supported by the Right Worshipful the Mayor, and a very large assemblage of Gentlemen attended on the occasion. Niblett, of the Lion, served the dinner and wines, which were excellent, and his attention and arrangements did him great credit.—( Bristol Journal, May 31.) • PRESTON.

On Wednesday afternoon the Members of the Pitt Club of ,Scotland dined together in the Waterloo Hotel, Edinburgh, in celebration of the birth of Mr. Pitt. The Earl of Hort:To 1 . 7 in the Chair. About three hundred Gentlemen were present ; among whom we observed—Lords Forbes, A bercromby, Her. mand, Meadowbank ; the Lord Provost, Major-General Sir Thomas Bradford the Commander of the Forces ; Generals Sir J. Steuart I)., Sir John Hope, Sir John Oswald, Colonel Sir Thomas Hankins, Sir Walter Scott, Sir John Hope of Pinkie, Sir Wm. Forbes, Sir John Hay, Mr. Solicitor-General, Gilbert limes, Esq. Robert Dundas, Esq. &c. After the cloth was removed, the CHAIR MAN gave, " The M King," which was received with loud cheers. The health of the other branches of the Royal Family was then given, after which the Noble Chairman rose to propose the Memory of Mr. Pitt. They were again met, he said, to testify their admiration of the principles of that great man, and he elt his inability to do justice to his memory. Ile had proved himself, by the meitsurem which he adopted, and the means he pursued, to have been the steady supporter of the throne and of the altar, and the real and true friend of the people. He had been opposed by well intentioned men, but their opposi tion had taught us how to distinguish between the steady light which illuminates our path and the glare which bewilders and leads astray,--(Applause.)—When ho considered the wealth— the power—and the industry of the country, which had been raised and brought forward by the wisdom of Mr. Pitt, he could not but admire the wisdom which had effected the mighty deed of raising us to an unexampled height among the nations of the world. He then gave, "The Memory of Mr. Pitt."— Drank in solemn silence. _ _ . Many appropriate toasts were drank with the utmost cordi ality, and the whole passed off with remarkable spirit and unin. terrupted harmony. After the Earl of Hopetoun had Tetireti, the Chair was taken by Lord Abereromby, and the company did not separate until a late hour. GLASGOW. Yesterday, being the Anniversary of the Birth day of that Great Statesman—" the Pilot that weathered the Storm".;—Mr. PlTT—about 120 Gentlemen of the first distinc tion in this city and neighbourhood dined together in the As sembly Rooms, to commemorate the same, J. T. ALSTON, Esq. in the Chair-•-•ROBEILT WATSON, Esq. Croupier. A number of Loyal and Constitutional toasts were given from the Chair, and the evening was spent in the greatest harmony and conviviality. The company was enlivened by a great number of excellent and appropriate songs, and did not separate till a late hour. The dinner and wines were furnished by . Mr. Burn, of the Black Bull Inn. H. Monteith, Esq. I‘LP: is appointed Chairman for next year.—lt is satisfactory and pleasing to ob ' serve, as time elapses from the death of our great Statesman, that his memory becomes snore dear to the people of this cestn try,—more respected and honoured by his countrymen, as they live at a distance from the period when he lived—to save his country by his firmness and .Enmpe by his example. Nor is this tribute of respect confined to Tories, but is shewn, though in a different way, by his political opponents.—( Glasgow Courier, May 2g.) MS MAJESTY bas, we understand , in his pos. session at Windsor, two very tine Einem or Southern Ostriches, from Van Diemen's Land. The female has brought forth seven eggs, six of which are hatched, and the birds are fine and strong upon the legs.

ALL CALF.—A dandy called the other day at a boot-maker's, requiring to be fitted with a pair of half-boots. Several pairs were shown him, which he tried, hut not one would suit. " Here, I think, is a pair that will do," said Crispin, reaching down a pair of excellent cordovan.— " No," said the dandy, " those, I can see at this distance, won't do ; they, are too short ; fashion able half-boots should cover the ca:" -" Then," said Crispin, slyly, measuring him with his eye, they must be jive feet eight." AMERICA. Extract of a letter from Pernambuco, dated ldth March, received in Salem. " I have received letters from Bahia of the 24th nit. at tvhich time the place was still in the hands of the Europeans, and they were daily skirmishing with the Brazilians. It is announced that Labata", the Brazilian General, had given Madeira, the Portuguese General, until the I 6th inst. to embark. Should they not embark previous to that date, it is generally thought there would be *a general attack upon the place on that day." THE WEST INDIA TRADE. `•:1401iFOLIC, Aram 21.—Our. town has already enierienced . .sonte of the beneficial results anticipated by the advocates of free:tiade with the British colonies, from the removal . • of the restrictions. The importations from the Islands have been very considerable, and the exports to them in a like ,proportion---both . tending to give cheerfulness and activi tY.-t0..., commercial enterprise and general industry. B u t this stateof ,things we are very apprehensive, will not last It was untlerstoixi that British vessels, coming direct front their colonies, were to be admitted into our ports, upon the same terms as our own, 'and, ..vice versa, our vessels were to be admitted into . the . colonial ports upon the same terms as theirs. It appears, howeVer, that while they admit ours, without paying any. heavier exactions than are paid by their own, we require of theirs a duty of one dollar per ton on their vessels, (ours paying only. ti cents) while the duty on their cargoes is ten per cent. higher than that which is paid in American vessels. This Inequality has be come a subject of serious complaint on the part of the West India shippers, and if not remedied and the trade put upon re ciprocal footing, there is too much reason to expect a revival of the old game of restriction and counter restxictioa, until we get, back to Just where we were.

DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION.—On the 9th ult. the little town of Weissenstadt, situated upon one of the highest parts of Germany, the Fich telberg, about nine miles distant from,Bayreuth, was wholly laid in ashes, with the exception of the forester's dwelling-house and three other small houses.

It is believed to have broken out in the bar, from the gas.light ; and in a very short time the whole house was reduced to ashes. The two adjoining houses were consider.: ably injured, but the activity of the firemen s'tved them from destruction. A man, named Wellman, and his wife, lodged in the King's Head, and so rapidly did the fire burn that , they could not save themselves by coming down stairs; they were forced, by the flames, to drop from the two.pair win dows, and were dreadfully mangled, the man hrving hip legs broken, and his wife breaking her breast bone and her arms, and her head almost dashed to pieces. They were carr i e d in a hopeless state to the Middlesex Hospital, where the woman is reported to be dead. Report says that two children were lost in the fire, but we could not ascertain the filet, and hope it is not true.
