That the Ex-Minister Zea not only contracted in Eu lope a loan of two millions sterling in the name of the Republic, but he has also received, distributed, and consumed the greatest 'part of the same on his own authority, in making compromises 'Of anterior demands not competently settled, and subsequent ones which he himself has created by operations enormously . burdensome to the State, either by increasing the capitals, gratuitously doubling the interest, and by acknowledging debts, some without the necessary vouchers, others purely gratuitous, and with exorbitant additions to many; and, in fine, by re ceiving as money the obligations and bonds which the said Zea himself had given, by yirtue of an agreement entered into in London, on the Ist of August, 1020, to the creditors of the Republic, without their respective accounts having been le gully audited and passed ; together with other obligations Ise also put into circulation in the same arbitrary manner, without having in due time solicited, waited for, or ever oh. ..tain the approbation indispensably necessary for similar ope rations. idly.

Sts,—Altblaili you are always the first to ' • point out abuses, yet I have generally found you as ready to do justice even to your greatest enemies; .and therefore I will not apologise for troubling you with this account of your John Bull opponent, the celebrated Sir William Curtis, who arrived here a few days ago on his way to-Naples, attended by his Majesty's brig Weasel. You must know. that a subscription had been set on foot for the relief of the distressed foreigners, (principally Spanish refugees,) whom 'T knew to be %it state not to be described, and the sum of three thousand dollars,which had been subscribed, was found inadequate to their relief; and therefore, the moment it was ascertained that Sir William was in the bay, it was determined by the Committee that he should be waited upon, for the purpose of soliciting his kind aid in favour of the starving individuals alluded to ;; and such was the opinion entertained of the worthy Baronet by those of his friends who knew him beat, that considerable wagers were offer ed and taken, that he would give a check for at least one thou sand pounds. Accordingly, two of the gentlemen departed to wait upon him by the Committee went on board his schooner, and were received by Sir William in the most gracious manner, who not only made them partakeh.of delicacies, such as could not be obtained in this hemisphere, but astonished them with a check upon his banking-house for the very amount named by his friends, and which, thank God, has relieved the wants of hundreds, who otherwise must have sunk under their suf ferings, and all of them men who must have seen better days 1 can assure you. Although the appeal to the feelings of the charitable Alderman was certainly very strong, yet the amount is great; and I am very sure that, under the circumstance. you will no objection to give publicity to this act of benevolence, which will live long in the remem brance of the inhabitants of this garrison. The Gentle man who discounted the order (and by which he lost five dol lars) is now showing it to his friends as a curiosity, previous to sending it home by the packet. The post-office here will not receive postage of any letter, which must plead my excuse for putting you to this expence, I beg you to believe me to be, Sir, your faithful and obedient servant, W3l. B. RANGESTON. P.S. Sir William has also offered a passage to any member of the Cortes who might feel disposed to visit Naples. OPINIONS ON PORTRAITS. ( From the Somerset House Weekly Miscellany, i.e. ) DH. JOHNSON. " Of all the puisuits that ever were invented by the old ser pent, for the punishment of men who attempt to live by their wits," said a waggish artist, " surely that of Portrait Painting is the most tant a lizing." " N a y," added he,—" the devil himself, with all his wheedling and flattery, could not please his capricious customers." The sage Doctor Johnson was displeased with his friend Sir Joshua, fur painting him holding a book near his eyes —or rather eye, for the great man was unoculus and near-sighted to boot. Mrs. Thrale rallied her illustrious friend, on his cons. plainiug of the composition of this picture, and said, " Why, zin• Joshua has consented to have his picture taken, with his ear trumpet in his hand." " He may be painted by another, or paint himself, as deaf as he pleases,' replied the Doctor, "but object to he knowu posterity as blinking Sam." LORD CHESTEREIELD. When the celebrated Lord Chesterfield first sat for his pm-. trait to Mr. Knapton, his Lordship began to talk to him very learnedly of the general defects of the ancient and modern schools, and then adverted to the particular failings of hull_ victual artists. " Now," said he, "as regards yourself, Mister Knapton, I am a great admirer of your talent, and indeed prefer your works to those of other artists—decidedly in. deeds but with deference, pray,—l know you will excuse me.— 'hut, lies it never been suggested to you—that you sometimes mistake the proportions of - your heads ?" Knapton, who was not wanting in shrewdness, comprehended the drift of this ele gent discourse. " Indeed, my Lord," answered the painter, who was no flatterer " I am not aware of that p ar ti cu l ar f au l t ; however, I am conscious of many deficiencies—mine is an art, that the longest life will never suffice to perfect." ." That is true," replied his. Lordship.—" But, Mater Knapton, rely upon it, an indifferent observer, not unfrequently, discovers little errors, which escape even the acute eye of the professor. Believe in; nothing gives so much grace to the human figure. as a small head : indeed that is the opinion of . the most en- lightened connoisseurs. You have but to study that point, and your works will be perfect." Knapton for once departed from his practice, flattered his noble sitter, and placed a head on the shoulders of the portrait, about one-third less than that of its prototype—and then, although too small to be true to nature, it was too large to he true to art—according to the rules of grace. Lord Chesterfield,' the most accomplished of men, as our readers may - suppose, had a superabundance of head. But to return to the great moralist, he, like Lord Chester field, was not superior to certain little traits of human weak ness ; for nothing gave him more offence than that of appear ing to notice any of his bodily infirmities, of which be had many. Ilis-nervous frame was subject to involuntary motions, even to a distressing degree, which occasionally exposed him to the rude observations of the vulgar. The following sketch by Mr. Airhyte, conveys a faithful re semblance of the external appearance of this extraordinary man I— " We were standing together at the drawing-room window, expecting Johnson, who was to dine there. Mr. Sheridan ask. ed me, Gould I see to the bottom of the garden P No, Sir,' .—"rake out your Opera glass ; .Johnson is coming, you may know him by his' gait. I perceived him at a good distance walking along with a peculiar solemnity of deportment, and an awkward sort of measured step. At that time the broad flag. ging on each side of the streets was not universally adopted, and MHO posts were in fashion, to prevent the annoyance of car. riages. Upon every post as he passed along, I could perceive he deliberately laid his hand; but missing one of them, when lie had got some distance, he seemed suddenly to recollect him. self, and immediately returning back, carefully performed the accustomaceremony, and resumed his former course, not omit ting one till he gained the crossing.' This, Mr. Sheridan as sured me, however odd it may appear ; was his constant prac tice, but why or wherefore, he could not inform me. The house on the right at the bottom of Beaufort Build, ings Was occupid by Mr. Chamberlains, Mr Thomas Sheridan's eldest brother, by whom Johnson was often invited in the snug way' with the family party. At one of these social meetings, Johnson, as usual, sat next the lady of the house. The dessert still continuing, and the ladies in no haste to withdraw, Mrs. Chamberlains moved a little hack from .the table, and was carelessly dangling In foot backwards and forwards as she sat. enjoying the conversation. Johnson, the while, in a moment of abstraction, was convullively working his hand up and down, which the lady observing, she roguishly edged her foot within his reach, and asmight partly be expected, Johnson clenched hold of it and drew off her shoe ; she started, and hastily ex. claimed, 6 0 fie, Mr. Johnson The company at first knew not what to make of it; but one of them perceiving the joke, tittered. Johnson, not improbably aware of the trick, apolo gized. 6 Nay, Madam, recollect yourself, I know 'not that I bare justly incurred your rebuke ; the emotion was involuntary, and the action not intentionally rude.' " It learned friend at our elbow whispers, that this infirmity was sYmptornatie of that extraordinary affection, denominated chorea Sancti Viti—Lvuko, St. Vitus's dance which leads to the re collection of a similar circumstance ' that was related to us, sonic years since regarding the person of Mr. Desenfans, celebrated as the collector of that gallery of pictures, which now adorns the walls of the great room at Dulvvieh College. This gentle man was subject to involuntary , spasms, and nervouspropenti ties, that occasionally compelled him to go out of his path to touch.some particular object. Mr. West, the late President of the Royal Academy, wniking on a sunday towards Hyde Park, with his pupil Robert Muller, observed _Mr. Desenfans pass before him through Cuniberland Gate, and proceed towards the broad foot path on the aide of the coach-way, almost the only part that was clean, and dry ;for the season was rainy, and I the park was generally impass;Lide, from accumulated mud. He moved, all contortion and gesticulation ; which escaped not the notice of the crowd ; when suddenly, MI if commanded thither by a spell, he shot out of the path, floundered through the dirt to a considerable distance, and coming ip contact with a para. color tree, turned his back; and gave It a violent kick, from which he rebounded with force ; when, having accomplished the feat, he returned to the path with seeming satisfaction. A private letter of Satirday's date, from a well informed party ut Paris, alleges that a new Con gress is in agitation, to be held at Paris on the affairs of South America. Both France and Spain, it is now stated, have intimated a disposition to acknowledge the independence of the South Americans, on condition that FERDINAND shall receive from them a sufficient sum of money to enable him to dispense with a loan, and to repay to France some part Of the expences of the war. Should this intelligence be well founded, we trust that the alleged proposal will be acceded to by the South American States, which will thus place their independence beyond the reach of fortune. Had the Spanish Cortes made some concession at Madrid, the Constitution would have been permanently pre seried. Their mistaken confidence in their own strength has involved them and their country in ruin. It is true, that it is not so easy to work the downfal, either by force or by corruption, of the, new Governments of the South American Continent ; but still, if they can, by a mere pecuniary sacrifice, and without dishonur, place their independence beyond the reach of danger either from foreign violence► or domestic.treachery and disaffection ; it will be good policy on their part to purchase their entire liberation from those dangers to which they are still exposed. We have seen a Gentleman, who has just re turned from Madrid, and who brought important communications •to this country. Ile states that Madrid, arid the whole of the country from that capital to the Bidassoa, is in the most frightf u l state of disorder,—that the roads are covered !with the persons who are emigrating,and infested by innumerable bands of robbers and depre dators of every kind. It is his opinion that a counter-revolution, which may even originate in Madrid itself, is inevitable. The Government was in such a state of destitution, that not even It messenger could be sent on; until money had been borrowed from the Bankers to defray his expellees. In order to obtain a sufficient sum for covering the expences of the Court, and the local and immediate wants of the Govern- ment, an impost of 25 per cent. was at length placed upon all goods sold in the shops, which had added greatly to the dis content of the population.---The late change of the Ministry was chiefly effected in consequence of the clamours of the people, who are plunged in the most insufferable distress. We have .this morning received Charleston and rAuisiana Paperi, but they contain no news. CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Cousols opened this Morning at 86i, and soon after they were done at 87 for the. Account. We understand, that in the earlier part of the day of yesterday, a Scotch Bank sold out 400,000, and which was the cause of the depression that took place in the Market ; but, after the above sale was ef fected, Consols rose again. Some business has been doing this morning, but to no great amount. FOREIGN MARKET.—Spauislk Bonds opened at 2611, went up to 1, with some business doing.-1 As to-morrow is Settling Day for all Foreign Securities, most of the parties are busy settling their accounts. Some of the resolutions adopted at political meetings by the West India Colonists, besides being distinguished by the general violence of the language in which they are couched, even go so far as to utter implied threats of revolt, and of separation from the Mother Country 1 . That the Colonists, being in a state of great irritation, in consequence of the severe depression of the value of West India produce, under the impoverishing and ruinous effects of which they have suffered and struggled for several years, have been goaded into the use of intemperate language by proceedings in some respects injudicious, and altogether ill timed, as well as injurious to their interests, we can readily believe, and of course are constrained to make large allowances for the rash and ill.advised language into which they have► tree►► betrayed by their foelings,—by their past misfortunes, their present alarm, and the Prospective dangers with which they are threa tened. On the other hand, they ought to reflect that nothing could be better calculated to foment the spirit of insubordination and revolt, on the part of their slaves, than the prevalence of a notion amongst them that a rupture has taken place between their masters and the Bri tish Government. They should well con sider, whether, to the simple and Inexperienced apprehension of the Negroes, some of the in temperate proceedings of the White Colonists will not wear the appearance of such a rupture having occurred, and whether hopes may not in conse quence be engendered, and projects formed, the at tempt to realize which would give birth to scenes too frightful for anticipation. With regard to the threats of separation from the power of this country, they are so perfectly ridiculous, as to be utterly unworthy of notice, except for the mischie vous effects they can scarcely fail to produce on the minds of the slave population. As to the Whites being able to maintain themselves for a single week, without the protection of England, the idea is so wild and absurd, that it has never, of course, been for ono moment seriously entertained by the most exasperated of the Colo nists ; and they must be too well informed to imagine that protection could be afforded to them by any other Power, whilst Great Britain maintains her na4a[ superiority. If ever the British West Indies are severed from England, they must be capable of • maintaining themselves as an •independent Power.
