We can have no fear, therefore; let the issue of the struggle be what it may; that Spain Will not come out of it in the secure and permanent,enjoyment of her national independence, and of the blessings of a just and rational freed Om., In our preceding columns we have given some extracts from the French Papers, but there is nothing of a later date than the intelligence which our Express enabled us to lay before our Read ers yesterday; The news of the Journal des Debuts, from Port St. Mary, is of the 7th.

If the " Protest" of the Matlild Regency be authentic, supported as it is by the Declarations of the Royalist Armies of Navarre, -:of Old Cas tile, and of Leon, it would appear that the mis understanding between the French and their Spanish Allies amounts almost to open hostility.

ANSei—g7C 'tract of a letter received in this town from an officer in the Navy, dated Bahia, 3d of August, 1823 :—" On our way from 'Rio here, we fell in with Lord Cochrane' squadron, the Don Pedro, 80 guns, Maria de Gloria frigate, and ten smaller, ves sels, principally manned with British seamen. Upon our an choring here, we found the Portuguese had embarked to a than; and expected from their force andaimbei, (the whole consist ing of 90 sail, including merchant ships, and about 5,000 troops) that they might hid defiance to Lord Cochrane's squadron, bu in which they were deceived, as his Lordship had already taken, and; sent in, 30 vessels and about 1,200 troops, and was deter mined to follow the remainder to the mouth of the Tagus, should he not previously capture the line-of-battle ships and frigates. On the squadron leaving liable, the Imperial flag was immediately hoisted, under hearty cheers ;- all the gulp being disabled, prevented their firing a salute t -this, however, took place two days after; and our own respectable British force, viz.: Creole, Doris, Briton, and Tartar frigates, also sa luted the new flag,.which gave the greatest satisfaction to the Braid' ians."—(ilyntouth Journal.) ENGLAND AND COLOMDIA.--The following vague sculation aears in a letter from Kingston (Jamaica), dated July pp 29, and received at Charleston :—" The Colombian schooner of Masseur, Lieutenant Picot, arrived at Port Royal on Thursday morning, in four days from Carthagena, having dispatches on board for Comm. Sir E. Owen. It was reported some months ago, that the Spanish Government had, with Porto Rico, ceded Porto Cabello and the Isthmus of Darien, belonging to the Colombian Republic, to England, and that Commodore Owen was to take possession of those places.. It was also reported, and perhaps truly, that Captain Cochran of the British Navy , had pr oceeded to Bogota, tile seat of the eCo lombian Government, which induces us to suppose that the dis patches above spoken of may communicate the reply of the Republicans to the propositions conveyed by England through Captain Cochrane. England will no doubt endeavour to make good terms for herself as the conditions her recognition but C o l o mbia is, we trust, too wise, as well as too just, to grant exc l us iv e privileges to any Mition." Mr. ROTHSCHILD left, town yesterday _after noon for Calais, wheie he w ill wait a Telegraphic Di spa tch from Paris, with an f I accou the nt ispatch of the health of the Baron h is brother. D is not favourable, he will proceed immediately to Paris. Yesterday:Sir H E RBERT TANn AYLOR held a L at ev h is ee as Secretary to the CoststEn7as-CutEF, Office in the Horse Guards. The Officers of the 39th Regiment have pre , seated to their late Surgeon, Mr. WALKER, on his removal to the 3d Light Dragoons, a hand some piece of Plate, as a token of their esteem. Last night, as a gentleman was driving a gig along Oxford-street, the horse took fright near D u ke street, and set off at wonderful -speed ; the gentleman was unfortunately thrown out, and shocking to relate, one of his les was drea fully fractured ; he was carried ins g tantly to the Hospital. i iii iniiAii: (From a New York Papir.) It will be recollected that Commodore Porter sent into the Havannah, for trial, the Pirates who survived the slaughter of their comrades by Lieu tenant Watson. The letter from Commodore Porter, accompadying them, has been published, and the following is the , reply of the Captain- Genera l.: — Office of the Captain-General of the Island of Cuba. I acknowledge the receipt of your official letter Of the 14th of the present month, transmitted by the schooner Ferret, with five individuals under the character of pirates. These men were immediately put under the disposal of the judiciary authority, in order that they might be judged in a manner ac cordant to our laws ; and the Judge who was especially charged with the duty, .has directed to me the following official state ment of the result of his examinations : " Most Excellent Sir - The Commander of the American schooner of war called the Ferret, 31r. Thomas M. Newell, being examined, likewise the mariners whom he presented be fore me, and those whom he brought here as prisoners by order 'of Commodore D. Porter, of 'whom three were, by the disposi tion of your Excellency, committed to.the jail, and two to the hospital of St. Ambrosio, characterized as pirates—an appear ance has not resulted that they had an actual participation in the invasion% and robberies ; they being brought to their condition by compulsion.. But as I have information that those who escaped are now apprehended and carried to Matanzas, where a process will be instituted against them, and where the most sure means will be adopted for discovering the plain truth I have considered it expedient to send these prisoners to Matanzas, hoping that your Excellency will be pleased to facilitate their transportation with the necedsary pr.o - affording to the disposition of the Judge of that district the means .of, determining with clear understanding what has been done, and what is now actually doing." This copy is forwarded to you for your information and sails: faction. I repeat to you my considerations, and pray to God that he may preserve you many years. Havanuah, July 24, 1823. FRANCISCO DIONISIO VIVES. . To Oommodore David Porter. • The following article respecting an 'attack upon the pirates by a part of the American squadron is liken from the Jamaica Courant, of the 30th of July : The United States' schooners of war Greyhound and Beagle, of three guns each,' Lieutenants-Commandants Keitiney and Newton, came to anchor at Port Royal on Saturday after noon. They left Thompson's Island seven weeks ago, and hive been cruising within the Keys on the south side of Cnbai as far as Cape Cruz, touching at all the intermediate ports on the island, to intercept pirates. On the 31st in stant they came to anchor off Cape Cruz, and Lieutenant Conimodore Kearney went in his boat to reconnoitre the shore, when he wag fired on by a party of pirates who were concealed among the bushes. A fire was also opened from several pieces of cannon, erected on a hill a short distance off. The boat re turned, and five or sik others were manned from the vessels and pushed off for the shore, but a very heavy cannonade being kept up by the pirates on the heights as well as from the beach, the boats were compelled to retreat. The two schooners were then Warped in, When they discharged several broadsidesand covered the landing of the boats. After a short time the pirates retreated to a hill that was well fortified. A small hamlet in which the pirates resided was set fire to, and destroyed. Three guns, one a 4-pounder, and two large swivels, with several pistols, cutlasses, &c., and eight large boats were captured. A cave, abouvlso feet deep, was discovered near where the houses wete, and, after considerable difficulty, a party of sea men got to the bottom, where was found an immense quantity of plunder, consisting of broadcloths, dry goods, female dresses, &c. Many human bodies were also in the cave, supposed to have been unfortunate persons who were taken and put to death. A great deal of the articles were brought away and the rest destroyed. About 49 pirates escaped to the heights, but many were supposed to have been killed by the fire of the schooners, as well as from the men who landed. The bushes were so thick that it was impossible to go after them. Several other caves are in the neighbourhood, in which it is conjectured they oc casionally take shelter. Prom their houses being burnt, and their boats taken away, it is hoped they, will be obliged to re tire from this place, as they will be without the meant of an• noying vessels passing by. PARIS GOSSIP.--A considerable number ofl anecdotes are said to be current in Paris on the I KING'S late visit to the Exhibition. His Majesty every where lavished his Saiiles and his appro bation,, as if to console the manufacturers by his Royal - graciousness for -"the want of 'a market for the articles which lie affected to admire. All the contributors who were in' town, paid, of course, that mark of respect to their Sovereign as to be present to receive him before the specimens of their fabric. His Ma jesty addressed some civil question or said some flattering thing to the most eminent among them, who were generally Introduced to him by some member of the Jury, by the Minister of the In terior, or the Director of the Museum. Even the Liberals shared on this occasion his condescend ing regard. With M. Teraaux his Majesty con versed for some time, on his importation of the Thibet goat, the state of his flock, and the suc cess of his manufactures. A lady was in the Exhibition to meet his Majesty, with whose presence he seemed more flattered than with the whole of French industry. It was Madame la Comtesse du Cayla, to whom his 'Majesty lately made a preient of a royal chateau. The Countess was accompanied with her daughter.-- Ills Majesty, on coming to the saloon in which Were the finest specimens of artificial flowers, took the most elegant he could find, and pre sented it to Mademoiselle du Coyle. Of course it would be paid for. The latter fact was-men tioned in the MinisteriatPapers, but the name of the young damsel so honoured was not giien.—= (Times.) THE THAMES AND TH EMEDWAY. ---In con sequence of the directions given by the Right lion. the LOUD MAYOII, as Conservator of the River Thames and Waters of Medway, Mr. Nelson, Deputy to the Water Bailiff of the City of London, in the absence of that most respectable officer, occa sioned by indisposition, proceeded, accompanied by the City Solicitor, Mr. James Mountayne, and other Officers, with proper Assistants to remove the obstruction which for a consi derable time past had prevented the junction at the two Rivers in and through Yantlet Creek. ' By the arratgrements that were made, the obstruction to the free passage of the waters be tween Stoke and Grain, which had no long existed, was com pletely removed in the space of twenty-four hours, whereby the tides f'rom. the respective Rivers were enabled to meet on Thursday last, at 2a minutes before eleven, and a peter-boat, which had entered at the Yantict end of the Creek, went through the opening, with nine persons on board, precisely at half-past eleven o'clock. She was followed by the Water Bailiff's skiff, and a four-oared boat belonging to Capt. Brown, the Master Attendant of Woolwich Yard. And yesterday the Officers were employed in making the free communications, so essential to the interests of the public , b e t ween the Thames and Medway, whereby the circuitous and frequently dangerOus cou rse round the Nore, for small craft, will be avoideol and many vsduable lives saved to their families and friends as well as a pest facility for the .hetter supply of fish to the 'London Alarkets. This morning, about half.past seven o'clock, a female, very genteelly dressed, was seen by some persons on Westminster Bridge, walking d o wn the steps on the Lambeth side, and, when at the bottom, she plunged into the water. Many persons who saw the 'act ran to her assistance, and one man got into a wherry, and luckily pulled her into it, after twice going under water. She was carried a-shore, and, after she had re covered, stated that her name was Charlotte Edgcumb, and lived with , her friends in Archer court, Barbican. She refused to give any reason for attempting thus to destroy herself. The poor creature WttS carried home in a coachsseveral persons attending her thither, ..) :,.' i'l 'Z ' ' j, Th 3 ~,,t , ,: tat...J.o4 s , et‘t 916 r" Piti - 11 4 :,, .. ,V ,!: ::: : • 1i..T4, r , ; / • - • - „,..ii. 4",..,•"A:01 1 t / _ ,-- 'i j :- .- -= • - "- , , i ni- a s t f,. 14 ,;;e :-/ $ ) 7. c M ..- '''''' ' l' ' '' '' ,q , / -''.7 --%-... :I:•!.

The Watch for a wager of 100 Guineas, between eleven Gen tlemen of Hackney an eleven of Aldgate, was on Thursday contended for amidst a vast concourse of spectators, on Hack ney Downs, as follows : HACKNEY.

In justice to' the Hackney 'player', we cannot help observing that they were disappointed of four Gentlemen, who were ori ginally entered on the list, and, in consequence, were obliged to elect four young persons on the ground, very inferior players, to make up the number; but notwithstanding, the game was well contested, the most perfect harmony prevailed; and all parties separated, much delighted with the day's re creation. The third and last match, to ascertain the con.. querors, will therefore he played in the same place on Thurs day next, if the weather should prove favourable—Much sport is antici pated on the occasion. SHOOTING EXTRAORDINARY. An irietance of skill in shooting, equal to the following match, has very rarely been recorded. It'took place on Thurs day, in Ilford 'Meadow, Essex, between a Mr. Tyre and Mr. Adam Arrowsmith, the celebrated :pigeon shot, at twenty one sparrows each, fifteen yards from the tip.' It was merely an honorary match, rather than thertmount of the stake, and Mr. Tyre's party fancied they had the best of it, and backed that Gentleman freely. It however, came nil otherwise. Mr. Arrorrstifith killed the Whole of leis twenty-one sparrows, and his opponent killed eighteen. At a festive. board , after the match, a Gentleman challenged any shot in England, to meet the winner at twenty-one sparroWs, the like number of pigeons, re a day at field sports: Mib - tC .

A CURIOUS RESURRECTION CAUSE. TowN-TlALL,SouTirwAttit . .—iihree stout Irish-, men, Dennis and Mlcliad Donovan, brothers, and Daniel qeary, Wei.e broltght up yekterdatbefore Mr. Alderman J. 3. *IT n, on a charge of assault, arming out of the following cir cumstances The own cousin of the Mesirs: Donovan it Seeina drew his last breath about a fortnight ago, and was decently interred last Sunday week in the old burial ground belonging to St. Olave's parish In rooley-street, and some or other of those who wore at the wake of him have regularly from that time kept watch near his grave, to prevent his being run away with by the resurrection men. A thief, it is said, fancies evety hush en officer; and it was natural enough that IriAmen in such a situation, on such builineSs, should fancy every living being they flaw a resurrection ' man. Scarcely a night has passed without some alleged attempt on the part of some supposed resurrection mai, and not a few quiet passengers have been attacked in the imagined defence of . the Messrs. Donovan's dead cousin's body. Nothing, however, 'very serious had arisen out of, the circumstance until Thursday night, when the three prisoners being then on the watch at the ' very witching time of night, When church-yards yawn," were alarmed by the approach Of Same supposed resurrection men. These, however, happened to be two waterinen named Josephs Obrcy and James Winton, who were making their way to Galley Quay, to be there by the. time of high Water. As the watermen kriew nothing of the misfortune that had happened to tha Donovans' own cousin, and seeing three hulking fellows lurking aboitt a burial-ground at that hour of the night, naturally enougli took them to be the very characters they were there to guard against—resurrection-men ; and though they were only two tti three, boldly demanded what they did there. They replied they • were watching; but as the last word was uttered in s fine rapid Irish brogue, the watermen mistook it for watchmen, and being pretty well acquainted, living in that neighbourhood, with the ivatelimen, and well knowing that three watchmen would not be together, demanded further explanatiod, and 'heisted on their going to the watch-house. The anti-resurrection party judging. this to be a mere trick to get them from the ground, while their own cousin's body was removed, immediately skewed fight; and being armed with true shilelalis, the watermen, though stout fellows, got much the worst of it. Their cries of murder soon brought the guardians of the night to their assistance, and the whole five were taken to the watch-house. Here the watclimati deposing that the three Irislitneri were belabouring the water men, and that they were passive; the latter were made the plain tiffs, and discharged, to the great dismay of their assatlantai who now looked Upon the resurrection of their cousin as cer tain and bewailed his fate in piteous terms. Un hearing the cause yesterday, Mr. Alderman SUIT ing that even by their own statement the anti-resurrection patty were the assailants, committed them all three to Ond bail td answer for the assault. Mkrtirtil has built and added lb Ids Cottage in Mi n_ ear Highgate, a noble gallery, Which is enriched with paintings of cele.;. brated Actors, froM the dawn of the art in Eng.: hind down to the ph , Sellt day. Mr. MaTucws has likewise collected, with amazing industry; many well authenticated relics of our owa . SHAKSPEARE, and other celebrated person.; ages connected with the• English Drama. Hill Garriekiana was begun by au ardent lover of this grand reformer Of the British stage, and con.: tinned with unabated energy durleg a period of 30 Years ; Mr. MATIIIMS has more than doubled their value since they came into his possession.— This collection, as a whole is•trely national, and we trust will never bo dilpersed. It exhibits indubitable proofs of good, taste and feeling for the honour of the prdession and a desire for .thi perpetuation of the fame of the ornaments of it. It ought to descend to the British MuseaM, or be pfirehased by the Trustees for the gratiticatiou of the public. HORRID ATTEMPT AT Muttuta.-- . ---This morn ing, about nine o'clock, a most desperate uttempi was made by the ‘vife , of John Allen, a servant to 111r.ilis, of the Horse Shoe, near St. Dunstan'a church, to take his life. Having armed herself` with a knife, she 'went to the house, and, on seep leg him, made several desperate cuts and stabs at !din, and, shocking to relate, before the weapon' could be wrested from her, she so far effected' her ptirpOse as to cut him across the arm, by which teveral of the muscles were divided. The . unfortunate man was conveyed to tile Hospital; but with slight hopes of recovery, he haVing lost so much blood. The desperate woman was n con , veyed to the Compter,. preparatory to examitia.. tion at Guildhall. MELANCIigLY ACCIDENT.—bIi Thursday last,' between two and three &clod:, a most itiockit4 accident happened to the driver of a waggon►, whO was returning from town with a load' of fur niture, the property of the Might Hon. Lord IiIiNLEY, of Footscray Place, Kent. On passing the entrance to the scut of - lIAROCASTLE, Esq . ., near the Five Bells public-house, Kent road, the leader suddenly started. A boy who was then driving the team immediately ran for ward and endeavouted to stop the horses, hut his . strength being insufficient it was useless ;. the waggoner perceiving the animals were terrified, immediately ran and as.isted, likewise with the view of stopping their progress, but by. some means or other he was unfortunately knocked down by one of the horses, and,,shifek lug to relate, before he could poshibly recover• himself, the shaft wheel of the heavy vehicle passed over his body. Luckily, stime, Persona were passing at the time, and relieved him• frotn his perilous situation. lie was carried to a neigh.: bour'shouse dreadfully bruised and almost la-. less; a cart was then procured, and thence he was conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital, wherei surgical aid was immediately resorted to,' atoll'• his wounds dressed: We are sorry to add, that.
