In our preceding columns we have given some important and interesting extracts from the fo reign Journals received since our last. Our Readers are aware that during the discussions on the question of the recognition of the new States of America by Great Britain, we more than once expressed au apprehension that Spanish America Has not so entirely free from all danger of again feeling the yoke of the Mother Country as was generally imagined by English politicians. The fears which we, then entertained, and which, from information that had reached us as to the intrigues carrying on in the New World, and as to theapathy(to say the least) of a great portion of the population, we had strong reasons for believing to be but too well fouuded,formed one of our principal motives for- so ~trongly recommending that our own Government should adopt the decisive policy of immediately acknowledging those States, whose independence, on the authority of the English Ministers themselves, was admitted to have been already substantially achieved. It is true, that the avowed determination of Great Britain to oppose the employment of any foreign force iu aid of Spain in the contest with her Colonies, and the further resolution which is understood to have been taken by Ministers, not to consider as a Spanish armament any con siderable force that may leave the ports of Spain during the occupation of that country by the French, cannot fail to have a very exhilirating influence on the cause of the South American Patriots, when these well-timed and friendly measures of British policy are made known to them. It would be by their full and complete recognition, however, that the confidence of the Independent s would be assured,—that the timid and wavering would be induced to decide and de clare themselves in favour of the independence of their country,—that even the treacherous and corrupted would be led by their very selfish ness to abandon the standards of the Royalists, —and that the triumph of freedom and civi lization' in South America would be ren dered certain, speedy, and complete. The Etoile of Monday contains intelligence from South America, by way of Madrid, which, even making large allowances for exaggeration, is well calculated. to excite serious alarm for the cause of Independence in Peru and Colom bia; for if it be true that the defeat of SANTA Cauz has been followed by the defeat and flight of BoravAn himself, we may expect to see the fortunes of those sections of South America reduced to a low ebb, and the authority of FElt DINANI) VII. once more acknowledged and obey ed throughout the greater part of their territories. The news from Greece continues to be cheer ing. According to the Augsburgh Gazette, the Greeks have compelled Arta to capitulate, and have directed their victorious arms against Joan• nina, in the full confidence of speedily becoming masters of that important place also. CITY, Twelve o'Clocic.—Consols opened this morning at 96 1 A, and got up to 964 for the Ac count, at which price they remain steady, with little doing, owing to its being a Holiday with the Hebrews. An Express has arrived from Paris, but the prices of the Rentes are not yet known ; report says 103. 80. The papers received by it contain no news. FonnoN 11Anm.—There was a good deal doing in all Foreign Securities this morning, and Colombian Scrip got up to 44-5 prem. 'We this morning received New York Papers to the 18th March. ( From the. New Yurk• Gazette of the 18th March. ) We learn from S. CRAIG, Esq. American Con sul at Panama, who arrived in the schooner Quilto from Charges, that just before he left Panama a French frigate arrived there from Lima, and informed that BOLIVAR. was at the head of an army of 15,000 men, and intended soon to attack the Royalists. Mr. CRAIG heard of no battle having been fought ; the report therefore by the way of Valpariso, of the total defeat of the Patriots, must be incorrect. We have Panama Gazettes to the 18th January, which do not fur ni,;) any political news. FASH lONA BLE AR RIVALS.

MARCH 31.—This city has been in a state of great bustle and agitation lately, owing to the expected arrival of the KING and Royal Family from Turin. Their Majesties arrived on Wednesday last, and took possession of their magni ficent palace in the Strada Balbi, formerly the residence of the great Durazzo. Four regiments of infantry and one of ca valry, were drawn up to receive them in the Piazza dell'Acqua Verde, and the whole population went out to meet the Royal carriages as far as the Fauxbourg of San Pier d'Arena Nothing could exceed the .splendour of the spectacletas the procession moved round the Light-house ; the batteriesoind the ships of war in the harbour, firing.salutes of 21 gims. ,The King was met at the first gate of the city by the Governor, Captain Raid, Commander of the Port, the Marquis de Boyl, the Baron Zach, and some other distinguished foreigners. bloat of the En glish visitors and residents were inationed in the Strada Balbi, and cheered his Majesty Most loudly as he passed. NO•Seve-• reign can be more popular eith Tr amongst his subjects or amongst strangers, as his benevolence and liberality in matters of reli gion are unparalleled. Isis Alajesty . particalarly noticed the two beautiful daughters of an English Noblefinin, whu were waving their handkerchiefs at a balcony contiguous to his palace. Several splendid fetes are announced at the end of Lent to ahicid4ayis not yet fixed until amongst "others one to be g te i r v t e a i i l n et t i l t i i e r s e e ly it b or tte l re i r lr s i o t n is a es i g L their Majesties' shall have bei:n"cOnsulted, but the stew a rds were appointed . yestefday, • They are—Sir Thomas Wilson, Bart., Major-General Uaeleari, Dr. Mackie, and Captain Birch, R.E. The invitations are to be limited to 200 and it is hoped the Doria Palace will be i),;ra nted for the occasion. Expence will not be spared to mak the entertainment worthy of the English nation. Ai' --r• Antrobus, Secretary of Legation, who is expected to-morrow from Turin, will haVe the whole plan submitted to him; and in the unavoidable absence of our Minister, Mr. Hill, all the presentationS to their Majesties will be made either by Mr. antrobusl d . ,or ou r OYC Consul, Sterling. " rim " t y re 6th inst., at Paris, HENRY, Marquis de v A t x h rE g it ß o r l i ; t s is , t . o Ain c b m as A s i a t t L lo: T 's ,rt,, daughter of Lieut.-Generul SLADE, of Illaunsel House, Somersetshire: We h ave r e ceived th e following interesting Letter, dated St. Petersburg'', 17th March : " The Imperial Government have received the gratifying intelligence of the safe arrival of Commodore Vox li: o ZE_ DUE in the corvette the Enterpri se , a t Ri o d e Janeiro. The Enterprise, it will be recollected, sailed last summer. The accounts are dated November the lfith. The passage out is described as having been a very quick one, and every occur rence of a pleasant nature. The officers and the whole of the crew were in the enjoyment of perfect -health. The corvette would wait three week,; at Rio, in order to have the most fa vourable circumstances for sailing round Cape Horn. Advices have also been received from Captain Laisanr.v, who sailed in 11122, from Van Diemen's Land; and .Government are about to dispatch another vessel to that. quarter, tinder the command of Capt. DOKTOItOItR, a skilful seaman, if:Tatty known by his former voyage to the North-west Coast OfAnierka: In the course of the summer another able officer, CaptainuLieutenant LITNE, L I previously known by his having navigated; during three sum mer seasons, the coasts of Nova 7:embla s , in the frozen ocean, and determined a variety of interesting points respecting these latitudes, will sail again from Archangel for these regions. The astronomical and geographical observations are to be pur sued with the greatest industry, although the period for such operations, on account of the ice, is necessarily limited to a few weeks. Thus, for twenty years, have the great waters of the world been boldly navigated by Russian vessels, in all directions, with a pacific object, and to enlarge the boundaries of science. The first brilliant circumnavigator was that in defatigable Officer, Commodore VON KRUSIXSTERN. Anxi ous as the Emperor is to advance, by every possible means, the great field of science throughout his vast dominions, still the affairs of navigation may be said to be held comparatively dearer by him than other objects that might be enumerated. Is it not wonderful that while the Russians, 125 years ago, did not possess a single ship of rear, and whose navi gation—if such a term can with propriety be used—was con fined to a mere Cotayage and river-sailing, should now be in a condition, comparatively speaking, to compete with the greatest of nautical powers ? This is not uttered by way of boast: i t is merely advanced because in accordance with truth, and to chew what may be accomplished, in a short period, by the persevering industry of man." Vitt 44. 4 6:4 Act, J.:° le-iy 0 =.1 , / • POETRY. INVOCATION TO SPRING. (From the Bury Gazette.) " Come, gentle Spring, ethereal mildness coral, " And from the bosom of yon droopin cloud; " Veil'd in a.shower of shadowing roses, " Ou our plains deseend." " Come, gentle Spring," return once more, The tempest's withering rage is o'er, Departing winter's icy tears, In the pale snowdrop's bud appears, And, at the closing hour t.f day, The redbreast's sweetly plaintive lay, Steals on the list'ning wand'rer's ear, A prelude to the tuneful year.. Come then, ethereal stranger, come, From Eden's vale, thy native home, Where winter never ventures nigh, To dim the brightness of thine eye ; Where, to the rose, the nightingale Repeats his fondest, softest tale, Till the high notes, so thrilling clear, Shake from its leaves eve's dewy tear. Oft shall thy fond enthusiast stray Along each wildly, devious way, Where thy light footsteps first are Seen,. • Imprinted on the dewy green; And listen with an anxious ear * The cuckoo's welcome notes to hear ; Or watch the earliest swallow spring O'er the blue morn, with feeble wing; Or search each wild sequester'd bower, For thy own fragrant purple flower. • Come then, ethereal stranger, come, From Edin's vale, thy native home ; Hope's patient smile--Love's tender tear— Joy's beaming eye, await thee here ; E'cn snrrow owns thy soothing power, For oft, at evening's silent hour, : - When glimin'ring in the blue serene, her herald star is dimly seen, Watching with pale . and , languid ray, • The lingiring beams.of parting day ; • The heart-rent mourner loves to weep, When beauty, virtue, gehuis, sleep ; And as his tearful eyes survey The lowly turf, that wraps thin clay 'With consecrated verdure gay, Each flower that takes its tender birth, And rises from that sacred earth, A messenger of peace appears, ' To check despair's repining tears, As if the slumb'ring dead awoke, And thus the•grave's dead silence broke. "On death's long wint'ry night sh a ll rise, " Eternal sprin g a nd cloudless skies; " Then virtue, from this mould'ring bed, " Shall lift, with joy, her languid head, " Divinely glorious, bright, and fair, Clotli'd in the robes that angels wear." THE ROYAL FAMlLY.—Ypsterdny ills Al.t sEsTv received visits from the Duke of York and the Duchess of Gloucester. Monday the Duchess of Gloucester and a select party dined with the Princess Augusta. The 'Princess Augusta received a visit fiom the Duchess. of Gloucester yesterday.— Yesterday the Princess Augusta honoured Viscountess Cre morne with a morning visit, at her Lady s hip's house, Ch e l sea . We regret to say the Duke of Gloucester continues indisposed.• —The Duke of Clarence is completely recovered from his indisposition. • Yesterday afternoon, soon after four o'clock, his Royal Hi r ihness the Duke of YORK, as Commander in Chief, held a L.vec at his Office in the Horse Guards, which was attended by between thirty and forty Offieerx, arming . whom were:—General Sir B. Tarleton, Lieut.-General Sir J. Dalrymple, Major-General Baynes, Major-General Lord Blan tyre, Major-General Blount, Major-General Sir C. Grant, Lieut.-General Gray, Major-General Macleod, Major-Gcw-ral Calcraft, Lord Wm. Russell, Lord A. Hill.. Tey•r►c IlussAits.—o much are the Members of this Regiment in disfavour at Dublin, that even the Surgeon of the corps, who, by all accounts, is a mild, amiable, and most respectable Gentle man, cannot appear in the street without being followed by a train of the lower orders, 1$ ith exclamations " Tenth can't fighl!"—Never. indeed has any corps exposed themselves to so much ridicule by " giving themselves airs," to use a vulgar but appropriate expression. It is, however, likely to be attended. with some advantage, as it will operate as a warning, that will doubtless prevent so contemp tible an example from being followed in future. By a vessel arrived at Jersey, letters, dated the 12th of Febrnary, were receivad yesterday froths Rio de Janeiro. In consequenc e o f an at tempt to pan the Brazilian ships of war, by impressing the country people who carried ou the communications with the-interior, they had become unwilling to visit the capital, and a temporary interruption to business had taken place. A m-eting had occurred on board the Netheroy frigate, arising from the aversion felt by that part of the crew who were Brazilians to be commanded by English Offi cers. They drove all the English sailors into the hold ; and the Captain shortly after ap proaching in a boat, several shots were tired at him, and wounded a number of his boat': crew A military force was, however, detached from the shore, when the mutineers were sown reduced to submission, and the ringleaders taken into custody. The 17th had been fixed for the sail ing of the packet. The rate of evlumge uas from 481- to 49—a proof that the negociation for the new loan was not believed to be so nearly completed as it is known to be in this country. — The capital was generally tranquil, and quite free from Political agitation. The Gaselie of last night, it will be seen, can. ta i ns all official notification of the regular corn- mencement of the blockade of the . port of Al- . Biers. The Gazette also announces the appoint ment of a Commission to inquire into the practice established in the Court of Chancery, and gives the names of the Commissioners. A Captain in the Danish Navy and a Scots Engineer have arrived in town, in order to pur chase and fit up splendidly a steatn vessel, by command of his Danish Majesty, who is to em bark in it, and make excursions, in the course of the summer. A Letter from Ancona states, that in the night of the 3d ult. they were visited with the most terrific and hurricaneous storm. The batteries near the light-house were destroyed ; the im mensely strong gates of a marine sluice were burst open, and a great deal of serious injury done to the buildings in the town. A Letter from Italy states, that the excavations at Pompeii, begun some time ago, but which had not been attended to for sometime till last Au tumn, have since that period delivered a large and valuable booty of curiosities. ANGRY JUDGE.—Judge KEYES, recently a re presentative to the American Congress from the State of Ver mont, having been beaten in a law suit, petitioned the Legisla ture for a new trial, which was refused. Indignant at the de cision' he went home at the close of the Session, and gathered up all his law btiok—carried them out into the highway, and in presence of a number of his brother Members, on thenr return home, set tire •to the pile, and consumed the whole ; intimating• at the same time that his library should never again be disgrac ed with itzty more of the' laws of Vermont. OLD BAILEY--(Tuns D.tx.) Win Jreri Millmore, a married woman of most :respectable appearance, and far , advanced in mgnancy, was indicted for'stealing, in the shop of John Wild, of Rathbone-place, a quantity of riband., Colonel Taylor said,- the prisoner had lived in his family for upwards of two years, and the utmost confidence was reposed in her. In fact, he did not believe she could be guilty of the charge.—The prisoner denied any felonious intention, and the COMMON SERGEANT having put it to the Jury to say whether they did not enter tain a doubt, they found her—Not Guilty. Geo. Challis was indicted for embezzling th e property of his employer, Mr. Joseph Rickards, farmer, of Essex, from which place the prisoner had been removed by habeas corpus. Tht• facts were fully proved against the pri-• sneer, ho admitted that htt had spent the mo ney, which lasted him nine days.—Thg Jury found hits Guilty. WESTMINSTER ADJOURNED SESSIONS. This.. morning Mr. G. West, a revectable tradesman in St. James's-street, was indicted for assaulting Luke Clark, a watchman in the parish of St. James's, ou the night o f the 1 0th of March. A second and cross indict ment char ge d L u k e Cl ar k, P eter D oy l e, an d R o b ert Charles Chapman,. with assultinfr Mr. West; and there was also a third indictment against 'Michael Doyle for an assault on Mr. Paget. Evidence at great length was heard for the prosecution, and on behalf of the defendant, who was most honourably acquitted, the Counsel throwing up his brief. Luke,Clark, Peter Doyle, Michael Doyle, and Robert Chalk; Chapman, were then arraigned on the other indict ments, when th e fury found them all guilty, and the Court sentenced them t o th ree months confinementin the House at . Correction, and hard labour, for a gross conspiracy. SWAN-STEA LING. bow •saItLET.--Yesterda v a very long exams. nation took place at this Mice before Sir It. Br RNI In of three men, who have been souse weeks in custody, and have under gone sereral examinations upon charges of stealing n large ours ber of swans, some the property of his Majesty, and others that of the Vintners' and Dyers' Company of the ( Ity of London. The prisoners were James and William Snelling (brothers), and Samuel Haines alias Dolby. A. Gentleman attended as Solicitor for the Crown, and the Legal Advisers of the two Worshipful Companies els° appeared for the prosecution.— ' Those majestic birds which are so great an ornament to the Thames, above a certain point inland are almost exclusively the property of his Majesty, and the two Companies above mentioned, and the utmost pains arc taken to preserve them_ The Kir; and the Companies have each a swan-marker, and other officers. connected with the preservation of the births,' and it is the delight of the worthy citizens who belong to the •Companies, to take excursions at certain periods of the year, to inspect and mark the swans. The birds either dead or alive,l,:,w -evt.r, are too profitable as, mark: table commcd:ties, tc; emeepe the attention of those who are willing to make money in any way that presents itself, and there are a number of persons both aides of the Thames, called Swan-hoppers, win) snake a considerable sum in the course of the year by th:s kind of de predation.- During the late winter so great a number has been stolen, that serious apprehensions were entertained that the whole race would be destroyed unless the thieVes were speedily brought to punishment. Bishop, one of the principal officers, and Avis, a patrol, were employed by the proprietors, and after an infinite degr e e of labour they succeeded in appreiend, log the three prisoners and a man rained John leake, sill inba fattimimial n lhn t e s oli o ,,t, f ll,si Chertsey eBag,l,o, ng in co S n u fe r s r s e i y o . n They e s li t : trot n h e st e:Ll: a t: long substance in s way before John l a t t o a ak t e in e: , ) v r l c i s e s n e( l l2 d w ls s ire in to gr t e e ,, ll t knew, t i i i i l s l tr h e e ss, a had made an unsuccessful application to the parish for relief, the prisoner, James Snelling, ceme to him and told him that ha could put hint in a way of getting a few shillings. Ile asked how ? and the reply was, that he knew where there were soma swans to be got easily. Itoake, however, said lie would have' nothing to do with it, and Snelling went away. In two or three' days he saw Itoake again, and told hits lee was a " d—d foci Rot' to earn a few shillings when he could without any risk of being hurt for it," and lioake at length consented to jo,n hint. They and the prisoner Haines went that night and caugh - several swans. I which J. Snelling took the next morning to Leadenhall Ma:kit and left with Mr. Stevens, a salesman there upon corn.nistiOn, receiving something on account. His father was in the habit of sending. poultry to Mr. Stevens, so that lie had a perfeet facility of getting rid of them, Mr. S. supposing th.nt to Ise the property of the old man. They went upon several subse quent occasions and killed a number of swans which wear disposed of in the same manner. For the first exploit Roalse received from J. Snelling three shillings, and for subse quent ones similar sums ; and upon the last occasion when W. Snelling assisted, and when they got eight swans, he received no more than five shillings. He remonstrated; lut could get no more, and he therefore refused to have any share in their 7 11: h tu e r t e h a r in-hopping expedition'. They were very soon after apprehended.—Some of the stolen swans (which can easily be identified by the proprietors marks) were traced to Castings, a a bird fancier, in Hampstead-road ; to Haines, in South Moul ton-street ; and to Captain Henniker's, Ashdown Park, Sussex, by. all of whom they had been purchased from Mr. Stevens-- prisoners declined. saying any thing, and were fully committed for trial.
