THE SUN. SOLEM QUIS DICEAX FdLSUM AUDEAT LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1823. A very respectahleCorrespondent assures us, tha what xre have previously said respecting negocia, Lions between France and , the new Spanish Min sters has been confirmed, that they are now actually in progress, and that the Whole bas been ar ranged with the full knowledge and sanction o the Britisb Government. He adds, that many of the Cortes have really absented themselves, upon an understanding that they are not to be molested ‘i hen the new order of affairs is esta Wished. He further says, that there is no foundation for the report that Austria was assembling an army, and that we may confidently add, that Austria, Russia, and Prussia have de. termined to adopt the same neutral policy which has regulated the conduct of the British Mini. eters.-- The next information expected from Spain (according to this correspondent) will, It is supposed, state the return of the KING to Madrid, and the final adjustment of the differences between France and Spain; and from the same quarter we learn that the terms ofreted by the former are such as will be satis factory to Europe in general. We yesterday stated an assertion, which had reached us on good authority, viz. that France Is not really desirous of an accommodation with Spain, except on the basis of the restoration of FERDINAND VII. to the exercise of arbitrary power. We have since received the Journal des Debuts, containing the following remarkable sentence :—" The truth is, that the Duke of .411 : CIOULEME will : treat with . no Gene : ral,—with no separate Artny,-;—but only with King FERDINAND when set free, or with the Coierranent which King FEant NAND shall freely have established." This confirms another state anent .which we made in Tits Suri of Monday last, and which was as follows :—" All idea of ne. gociatlons between France and the Constitutional Spanish Government is believed to have been aban doned. I f any negociations, therefore, should here after be entered into, they must be between the rival Governments for Spain, viz. the KING and the Cortes on the one. part, and the Council of Regency on the other."—But although it may be 'true that the French Government had taken the .resolution above stated, afthe time specified, and although it may be true that It has been re solved, that the Duke d'ANGOULEME shall en ter into no negociations with the Civil or Mllrtacy Constitutional Authorities, yet it is very far from being certain that the French Ministers will long adhere to their present de terminations. Like the Journal des Debits, we shall state on our part what we have many good reasons for believing to be the real truth of the matter, and which is, that the intentions of the French Government vary almost every day, according to the complexion of the intelligence received by it from Spain. It was but the other day that it would have eagerly en couraged the slightest disposition on the part of the Spaniards to afford it some pretext for with drawing from the contest. No sooner, however, is an inclination to make some concession manifested by Spain, than France presumes upon the mani festation as a symptom of Spanish weakness,and, flattering herself with the certainty of triumph, enlarges her expectations and rises in her de. ,manes. if FERDINAND should be restored to his former authority, which is now declared to be the only step necessary for the restoration of peace 1$ e are much mistaken if France would not then Amami that she should be reimbursed for the . expe►►ces of the war, and should insist upon retaining possession of some part of the Spanish territory, either as a security for the payment of her claims, or on the pretext that the pre. sence of her troops would be for some time necessary to the consolidation of the King's authority ! France may even yet sorely re pent of her vacillating conduct. As for Spain, her safety would be rendered certain if the Cortes, without any negociation with the French, and without relaxing their resolution to carry on the war, were to decree such modfficu. lions of the Constitution as would at onto strengthen the hands of the Government, and unite all parties in Spain in its support Spain should then declare, that she would never negociate for Peace whilst a French soldier re. tnained upon her territory ; and with the united energies of .her Government and People there can be little doubt that she would soon be f able to drive the French Armies from her soil, and, to dictate the terms of an hOnourable and per manent Peace at the foot of the Pyrenees. The reports relative to the arrost of the Count of ABISBAL, and his having been shot by his troops, are stated .by the Journal des Daats to be void of all foundation. 'With respect to the letter, whiCh is admitted by this Jour nal to have been addressed by the Count of ABISBAL to the Duke of ANGOULEME, and which was reported to have met with an un favourable reception from his Royal Highness, the following is the whole of the article which appears in the above Journal relative to this subject " The truth is, that the Duke of Angouleme will treat with no General, with no separate Army, but only with King Fer dinand, when set free, or with the Government which King Ferdinand shall freely have established. This does not mean to say, however, that he will prevent the sentiments of an honourable repentance, accessions wisely and usefully combined, or conciliatory and profitable Ideas from becom. ing, after the establishment of a legitimate authority, the bases of the new Administration. But neither the ideas nor the sentiments of any individual, nor of any chief of party on whatever side he may be, can become at this moment a sub. ject of negociation. " All that remains certain concerning the step taken by the Count Abisbal, is the positive declaration of this General on the real situation of the interior of Spain ; is the instructive and terrifying picture of the desperate state of the affairs of the Party domineering in the Cortes, and of the universal disposition of all men of influence to abandon or even to overthro,v an au thority, whose prolonged agony might still occasion so many unavailing calamitieit: The Letter of this General announces that his measure wax combined with the Commanders most esteemed by the troops, such as Morino and Tiallasteros, and declares that the principal Chiefs of the army, obeying, with re luctance, a Ministry without skill and an assembly without pc- Meal weight, incited with all their wishes, a better order of things, and were ready to hail, as a Liberator, the Noble Prince, who had no'other desire than that of promptly closing the glori ous part which he had assumed." We have received by way of Buenos Ayres,an Extraordinary Gazette of Chile, dated the 2Dtb of January, from which it appears, that a change has taken place in the Government of that cowl- try, but effected without bloodshed, Or any inter ruption to the public tranquillity. 'rho following is the account published by authority : : SANTIAGO, JAN. 29, 1423. The authorities and people of this capital haring assembled yesterday to arrange, with the Supreme Director, measures conducive to the maintenance of public tranquillity, the meet ing terminated in the issuing by his Excellency of the follow. ing decree " Believing, under existing circumstances, that 'my retire ment from the supreme government of the state may contribute to the public tranquillity, and finding an agreement on this point with the people of Santiago, the only medium with which I can communicate in the present crisis, (since there is not now assembled any national representation, to whom I can convey my renunciation of office,) 1 have determined to resign its pro.: visional exercise to an administrative junta, eomposed of citi zens D. Ag ustin Eyzaguirre 1) , D. Jose Miguel Inf a nt e , and D. Fernando Errazurra. This junta shall procure with the least possible delay the assembling of the national representation, with the understanding, that if, after an interval of six months, the differences now existing between the provinces of this state shall not be removed, the services of the administrstive junta shall cease, and their functions be supplied in any way that may seem best to the people of Santiago. And to the end that the I junta may know what are its attributes and faculties, the com mission proposed by the people, and consisting of citiz e n s D. Jan Egana, Dr. D. Bernardo Vera, and D. Joaquin Campine, shall proceed to fix them. " Given in Satiago the 20th of January, 1023, " BERNARDO O'HIGGINS, " Ers'ANA.” This decree was immediately read to the people, and Senor O'Higgins announced it to the newly-elected Government, dis. robed himself of the sash which was the distinctive mark of the supreme command in Chile, placed it in the hands of the voters, and finally, after having administered to them the ac customed oath, yielded up to them the elevated trust to which they were called. The meeting concluded with the taking of the oath of fidelity to the new Government by the commanders of the garrison. The mast excellent Junta has named as Minister of State in the departments of the Government and of the Morine, Dr. D. Mariano Efiana ; and Dr. D. Agustin Vial for the depart. menrs of NI ar and Finance ; with all the attributes and facul. ties enjoyed by the former Ministers. Yesterday, Prince LEOPOLD returned to town 'rom Claremont.

The MEMOIRS of WILLIAM HAYLEY, Esq. the Friend and Biographer of COWPER, will appear in a few days.—Of this important IVork, which formed a principal object of Mr. IIAYLEY'S at tention, during the latter part of his life, the Author speaks thus, in his Introduction':—" The Life of a sequestered Student, fond of books and privacy in all the periods,of his existence, seems at first to offer materials for nothing more than a short mad smpie history ; but incidents, very, singular in themselves, and productive of conse quences no less extraordinary, befell the subject of this Memoir, and though ever devoted to re tirement himself, he had so much intercourse with many of the most memorable characters of his time, that a fair and full account of him must inevitably be a work of consid era bl e - di versity." A Suaratsz.—A few evenings since, It party of young men were returning prom a public-house a short dis tance from the outskirts of this town, when they observed a man walking arm in arm with a female companion, at no great dis tance from them, apparently engaged in saying all the soft amo. , roes nothings that custom has rendered it necessary f or our sex ' to adopt, as the preptratory routine to more substantial joys, Instead of revelling in all the fine-drawn l uxur i es of sympa thetic happiness, in the consciousness of knowing others are pleased, our merry party felt the most resistless d es i re to in. terrupt the ante-nuptial pleasures of the .loving pair; an d nwi"thnogentle for ce t h e reluctant while his friend k ept at bay her one of them, with a rudeness that time and place a lik e condemned, thrust himself between die amorous twa i n , and d ha ls n u d ni o t f ed th th e em, fair male companion ; our pot-valiant hero was about to ravish kiss—when, ye Powers ! how can the surprise of our now sobered fend be i mag i ne d, when he found the object of his buccaneering adventure was in fact a lawful prize, and in the person of the disappointed fair one traced the well-known fea. tures of his own wife I—( Brighten Chronicle.)

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE. From the Cambridge and Hertford Independent Press.l The Alasters and Fellows of Trinity College have determined to build accommodations for upwards of a hundred more Stu dents within the walls. The new erections will ;brut a hand. some quadrangle on the scite of the present stabling, and are to present a handsome Gothic front towards the gardens, pa. rallel with the library. The following is a copy of the circul ar prospectui sent to such indi v id ua l s as are likely to become con. tributors towards the eXpence of the undertaking : The Master and Senio rs o f T r i n i ty College, Cambridge, have recently agreed to add very considerably to their Buildings, by the erection of a New Quadrangle, of such dimensions, that the present number of sets of Apartments within the walls of the College will be nearly doubled. They have been led to undertake this extensive design, (which cannot be executed without personal sacrifices oil their own part), by a consideration of th e ser i ous ev i ls arising from the Lodging of great numbers of Young Alen in the Town; which evils, briefly, are increased expence:—scanty decommodations, and consequent unhealthiness in some of the Lodging-Houses; and the impossibility of preserving the same degr e e of sa l utary superb:tem/once and discipline, an d the same undisturbed opportunities fur study, which are, in an eminent degree, the advantages and privileges of an English University. It is proposed to raise the money rnmisite for this design, partly by Subscription; and 'the rest by Loan ; and it has been agreed, " That it be a condition of the Subscription, " that the Rents of a number of the Sets of the new " Apartments, bearing the same proportion to the i r Whole " number, as the money subscribed shall bear to the " whole cost of the undertaking, —be appropriated• to th e " augmentation and improvement of the Ecclesiastical Ilene " faces in the Patronage of the Society, through the medium of Queen Anne's Bounty, or otherwise; and to the establish " ment of a Dornus Fund, to be applied, from time to time, " in aid of an extraordinary and extensive repar at i on or i m . 4, movement of the College." And thus, the Benefactors will have the satisfaction of contributing to an undertaking inti mately connected with the adva ncement o f R el i gion and learn. ing, not only in its direct and immediate, but also in its remote and permanent consequences. They, who are best acquainted with the College, well know, that the poverty of its Church Preferment, and the consequent paucity of vacancies of Fel- lowships, have been long felt as the principle imperfections, by which our it is hoped, that it will by the projected means, be made capable. To the above S u b scr ip t i on , t h e C ollege in the name of the " Master, Fellows, and' Scholars, " has contribut e d 2,000/. ; and Benefactions h ave b een received from many of them intli. vidually. Tice e whole expenc e of t h e works is estimate at 40,0001., nearly. r.l'he above Statement is made, in a confident hope, the when the scheme is known, the Society will no fail to experi ence a generous co-operation front many who now are, or for merly have been Members of the College, and from others who may be desirous that this Royal Foundation should continue, with unimpaired, rather with augmented, powers, to be an in strument in the hands of Divine Providence, for diffusing the blessings of sound learning and religious education to the latest posterity. Trinity College, 1029. (Signed) DEBTOR AND CREDITOR. IN PARIS. The following extraordinary story is told in a Paris Journal, and its truth vouched for;-- A respectable physician had contracted a debt of 9.000 francs, which a heavy loss rendered him unable to pay. His creditor proseciited him. The attorney anti the bailiff; in discharging their respective duties, observed all the delicacy and moderation which were due to a man whom no misconduct had pieced in so disagreeable a situation, and they would have granted him some indulgences. The creditor , however, was in exora bl e , and insisted - that they should proceed with all the rigour of the law. On learning this determination, the wife of the physician was seized with paralysis. The distracted husband solicited a delay of a few hours, that he might have time to apply to one of his friends, a wealthy banker. The bailiff took upon himself to grant this request, but, unfortunately, the hanker had gone to the co u nt r y. Th e bailiff was then obliged to obey the orders of the cre di tor, and to execute the writ.regret, he proceeded to pe r form this duty, and such a terrible i mpress i on on the doc his With appea mranucceh made s tor, that he fell dead before him. Greatly moved, the bailiff withdrew without doing any thine, and th e attorney approved of his conduct. Two hours after, the wife of the physician, being informed of the irreparable los* she had summed, also expired. Hut what adds to the fatality of these deplorable events, is, that .while they were p ass i ng , t h e b anker returning from the country. On learning the request which had been made by the Doctor, he hastened to grant it, and ordered one of his clerks immediately to carry to him the nine thou sand francs. Unfortunately the relief came too late l On en tering the apartment, the awful spectacle was presented to the clerk of the lifeless body of the man whose sorrows he was sent to remove, and near it lie beheld the body of the physician's wretched spouse also dep r i ve d o f ex i stence. The sight struck him with horror. This is not all ; the bailiff; who was affezted in all his faculties by the shock he had sustained, no sooner got home than he was struck with a nervous apoplexy. For twenty-four hours his life was dispaired of, and his death would have been inevitable had he not obtained the most prompt, assiduous, and skilful assist. ance. He is still very unwell. These facts are strictly true. We melts no reflection ; that duty we leave to creditors who have worthy men for their debtors.—(Jewrnai de Path.) THE' ARMY. GENERAL ORDER, May 27, 1823. His Grace-the' Master General has received his Majesty's commands to allow a limited number of Field Offieersand Cap tains on full pay, of the Royal Artillery, who may have served not less than 20 years, to sell at the regulated prices of the In. fantry, their Commissions, of Field Officers or Captains respec tively, to Officers ofthe Line (to be selected by his Royal High ness the - Commander-in-Chief), who, when promoted, would t ezonie unattached. • The vacancies of the Officers of the Artillery thus allowed to return from theservice, will be filled up in the first instance from the seconded list, and afterwards in the usual course. The objects -of this arrangement are, by making provision for certain Officers of the Artillery, who may be desirous of retiring in this manner from the service, to enable the Master. General to reduce the list of seconded and half-pay Officers, and thus eventually to accelerate the promotion in the corps. It is, however, to be clearly understood, that this plan does not in any respect alter the nature of the promotion, or the or dinary rules for the retirement of Officers of the Artillery, nor give any . Officer of the Artillery hereafterany right or claim to sell his Commission. It is adopted at present solely w i t h t h e v i ew of remedying an existing inconvenience and evil ; and no Officer is to consider himselt in future entitled to found -upon this arrangement any claim to sell his Commission. Those Officers who may be inclined to avail themselves of this_plan to retire from the service, will send their names to the Deputy-Adjutant-Generd of the Artill er y, an d t h e Master.
