Indeed, there is nothing doing iu any kind of public security. We have received the Paris Papers of Wed nesday, and the Elcile of Thursday. The Quo tidienne alone notices the alleged insurrectionary movement at Madrid, which, however, it posi tively discredits. " Reports (it says) were yes terday in circulation at the Bourse, that troubles had broken out in Spain. Nothing could be more void of foundation ; the most perfect tranquillity reigns on all points of the Peninsula. The am nesty was carrying into execution without oppo sition. The disturbance created by General CA•• PAPE had been suppressed. He could not pre vail upon more than about 40 persons to join him : he had been arrested, and was on his way to Madrid to stand his trial."—There are letters from Constantinople, of the 18th May, which mention the landing of a Turkish force on the island of Samos, and add that the whole of the expedition was destroyed. The Courier Francais contains intelligence from Hayti, which excites an interesting idea of the enthusiasm with which the Haytians would defend themselves from any attack on their independence. Both the Government and the people seem to have been strongly impressed with the belief that a hostile armament was about to be sent against them from Brest, and the most vigorous prepara tions were accordingly making to repel the ex pected invasion. According to these papers, news have been received at Genoa of the blockade of Algiers to the 9th of May. The Dey will listen to no proposition of arrangement which includes an obligation to receive the former English Coti sul, MACDONALD. The number of English ships of war was n i ne , without including two gun boats. The entrance of the port was shut with a great iron chain, which the Regency had pro cured from England some time ago. The Dey had made various arrangements to place his ships beyond the reach of danger in case of an attack. lie had likewise caused hospitals to be esta blished for the wounded. The following intelligence has been received at Lloyd's from the Agent at Holyhead, dated June 17 : 64 The Lotus, FIELD, arrived off here from Bengal bound to Liverpool ; sailed from the Sand Heads 14th Feb., and from St. Helena 2,3 d April. She brings accounts that Lord AMHERST was in good health, and all quiet o❑ the Corn- pany's own possessions ; but a war with the Burmise seemed inevitable. Mr. CHEW, a Bengal Branch pilot, had been seized by the Burmise, and sent up to the capital, Ammeroppoore. A large detachment of troops, with a train of artil lery, had marched towards the Burmise frontier, and it was reported that the 13th Light Infantry, under Colonel M'Ca Gil, were to proceed thither by water from Calcutta. All articles of Indian produce were high, particularly the finer sorts of indigo, owing to a great failure of the crop, which was only one half of former years." We have received the Algemeine Zeitung, of the 10th inst. It states that the Emperor ALFA ANDER. is expected at Warsaw by the time of opening the Polish Diet, and that there will be no conference between that Sovereign and the Emperor of AUSTRIA, in Bohemia, or in any other part. TRIESTE, JUNE 3.—A vessel, which left Corfu on the 20th of May, has brought us no news. The Turkish fleet had not yet appeared in those seas. Letters from Buenos Ayres, dated March 31, describe that Republic to be in a state of gradual improvement, and to enjoy profound tranquillity, the natural consequences of equal and beneficial laws. Representatives, or rather Deputies, from all the surrounding provinces, were to assemble at Buenos Ayres in the middle of May, with the intention of forming a Federal Union, and be fore this day most probably, therefore, a Supreme Government has been elected for the general good of the various districts of this highly gifted portion of the globe. The. Bankrupt Laws Amendment Bill passed through the House of Lords last night, but in order to secure another opportunity of consider ing and rendering its provisions more perfect, their operation is not to commence till the Ist of May, 1825, with the exception of one, which allows the Commissioners, in cases in whizli some of the Creditors refuse to sign the Certificate of a Bankrupt, and the latter appears to have been honest, to recommend to the Loan CHANCELLOR to grant him his passport. The Noble and Learned Earl considered this change in the law of such importance that he wished it to take ef fect from the moment of the passing of the Bill, which was agreed to.—Lord HOLLAND intro duced a Bill to allow the Earl Marshal of Eng land and his Deputy to exercise the functions of that high office, without being previously com pelled to take the oath of supremacy. The ge neral sense of the House seemed to be in favour of the Bill, and no objections were made, except to the Suspension of the Standing Orders for the purpose of passing the measure before the close of the present Session. --The 'Marine Insurance 13111 was the last business which occupied the at tention of the House. The Loan CHANCELLOR gave notice that he should propose, on the third reading on Monday, several additional clauses to , give greater security to th e Pub lic, and express ed an intention of bringing in a General Act o subject all Joint Stock Companies to the same regulations. No business of material importance was trans acted in the Commons, with the exception of the passing of the Irish Insurrection Act, after a di vision on an Amendment proposed by Mr. lion- Yo - ass, that the Bill be read that day six months. The numbers for the Bill were 52, and 14 against it. The following extract of a letter received by an eminent West Indian merchant, and dated in Kingston, Jamaica, on the 26th April, 1321, shows that a better feeling begins to prevail amongst the planters, though still it is not what it ought to be I was yesterday favoured with your letter of the 18th of:March, and think. ) , with you, that Mr. Canning has proved himself a real friend to the Colonies. Most people here are now of that opinion. Freed from the appre hension of the interference of Parliament in the internal legislation of the island, I have no doubt Government will find the Colonial Legislators willing to listen to any recommendation, and unite i❑ every measure that can fend to improve the condition of the Slave population, without en , dangering the lives, or injuring the property of their owners." NEAPOLITAN LoArr.—The half-yearly Divi dend on the above LOAN falling due on Thurs day the Ist of July next, will be paid by Mr. N. M. RovnscuiLD on such Bonds as have been negociated by him. The Dividend Warrants, with a List thereof, in numerical order, must be left one day previous for examination. POETRY. EPITAPH ON HENRY CONDELL, ESQ. Here CONDELL rests, a friend to all mankind, Pure was his heart, capacious was his mind ; Through life by Justice and by Honour sway d, With genius modest, good without parade; Nature for Music had his pow'rs design'd, And skill, taste, judgment, in his Art combin'd. By reason passion's force he could controul, And in harmonious order held his soul. By Prudence guided, not by love of pelf, lie fat for relatives as for himself : Ilislast long illness he with firmness bore, And lov'd his friends 'till he could feel no more. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

WATT, ESQ. A numerous and highly respectable Meeting was held yesterday at the Freemasons' Hall, for the purpose of raising a Subscription to erect a Monument to the Memory of the. late James Watt, who by his genius and science has mul tiplied the resources of his country, and improved the condition of mankind. The Right lion. the Earl of LIVERPOOL took the Chair at ten o'clock, supported by Lord Bexley, Sir James Mackintosh, Sir Humphrey Dave, P.R.S., the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Secretary .Peel, E. J. Littleton, Esq. M.P., C. Grant, Esq. M.P., W. Wilberforce, Esq. M.P., H. Brougham, Esq. • M.P., the Earl of Aberdeen, and many other Gentlemen of distinction. The Noble Cuarnataw, in rising to state the objects for which the Meeting was assembled, said, that it must be parti cularly gratifying to every Gentlemen to know that this country had given birth to a man who by his genius and his science had been the author of lasting good to the whole world. The Noble Lord said no one had a greater claim to public gratitude than those who improved the productive powers of industry, and remarked at great length on the wonderful powers of the steam engine, which had been brought to so much perfection by the steady and scientific exertions of James Watt. He had thus effected a considerable reduction of manual labour, and even an improvement in the texture of manufactures. The application of steam to navigation had been a most important citiiolo advantage, onirlle, ii ine setidil transcendenttai a : bia i e i lt a geir g fan a e3a v i e ra it b t i o .te,avi v alpea e bon s rt s te e sehb l r s aasedn t i on h dnfg e otbl i t i iir o eemi w ::ie e iitadi r nnw o ndt i f s ; ghtacknaa resisting, (niliulotswi traordinary the 'e awcnoadtvi entitled sehiste.l himewr considera tion it was owing to his modesty and unwillingness to obtrude himself on the Scientific World, of which he - was so distin guished a member.

The Thanks of the leeting were proposed to the Earl of Li verpool, for his dignified and able conduct in the Chair. This proposition was seconded byMr.Wreux RFORCE,who paid some well merited compliments to the Noble Earl, and c! -:pressed his hearty concurrence in the object of the Meeting, and the great satisfaction which he felt at seeing the Noble Earl preside there, as the avowed representative of our illustrious and beloved So vereign, who had at all times evinced the deepest interest in the advancement of every trench of science, and in every thing which could continue to the welfare and happiness of his people.

FASHIONABLE PA RT IES. The Countess of Grosvenor opened Grosvenor-house on Thursday evening to the heat ton, for the first time this season, with a grand assembly, which was very numerously and ele gantly attended : the grand suite of drawing-rooms and libraries were most brilliantly lighted up.

Sir WALTER STIRLING last night opened his spacious and elegant mansion in Pall-mall, for a very numerous corn pany.—The concert commenced at ten and the visitors con tinued to arrive till after one o'clock. The rooms were filled, but not inconveniently crowded. Prince Leopold, Lord Sid mouth, with his beautiful daughter, and many other distin guished persons, were present. There was an assemblage o, very beautiful young ladies, who " need not the foreign aid o f ornament," and many dowagers, whose splendid and politic abundance of jewellery effectually took off atttention from the ravages of time upon their features. Rossini sat at the piano forte, and occasionally sung with his wife. Other Italian per formers were also engaged for the occasion : the whole was a fine harmonious treat. The Hospitable Baronet, with Mrs. Lennard, one cf his amiable daughters, waited to receive the visitors. A sumptuous and most abundant board of refresh ments was pyovpled, and the company in general seemed to be highly gratified with the entertainment which they had received. A great part of Pall-mall was covered with attendant carriages; but all passed off with good order. THE THEATRE. l inuxuALL GA II D ENS.— fvsterday, being the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, it was com memorated at these gardens by a grand military fete.

As soon as the Judges had taken their seats on the Bench, this Defendant appeared on the floor of the Court to receive judgment— The indictment charged him with having pub lished a libellous work, entitled The Liberal, which reflected on the character of his late re vered Majesty, to wound the feelings of his present Majesty, and insult the Royal Family in several stanzas of the poem. Mr. SCARLETT, after addressing their Lordships at some length for the defendant, on a motion for a new trial in this cause, which, however, being overruled by the Court, Mr. Justice I3AYLEY proceded to pass judg ment nearly as follows.--Mr. John Hunt, the present indictment is for publishing a libellous work, we are satisfied you were not the author, and your motive for publishing was for property. In your affidavit you state you have discon tinued the work, but intend to republish a new edition, leaving out the objectionable passages for which the present prosecution was instituted ; but yet there might be several objectionable parts in the work of a new edition that might cause you to answer for again, and if so, you must take the consequences. For the present indictment, however, the Court having taken the whole of the case into their most serious consideration, doth order and adjudge that you pay a tine of 1001. to the King, give security for your good behaviour for five years, yourself in 1,000/. and two sureties of 5001. each, and be imprisoned in the Kings' Bench until such security is given and. fine paid.
