Peterabargh had received orders to equip a fleet of ships of the line and frigates in the spring with a considerable number of transports, for the purpose of repairing to a Spanish port and sailing thence to South America, and that a corps of Russian troops was to be embarked on board that squadron to form part of the army Which the- King of Spain intended to send at the sam e period to his late colonies." Upon this article the Journal des Debats makes the following- remarks:— " This piece of news appears to be a pure invention of gulli bility. It ought to be known that the insurrection of Spanish America was at first directed against theintrusive king, Joseph ; Buonaparte, and afterwards again;t the Cortes of Cadiz. The Spaniards of America had not, like the :Anglo-Americans, a decided tendency to independence,nor did the complete elettents Of a Republic exist among them. Peru and Mexico are essen tially Monarchical and Catholic. The invasions of Peru, sue velsively attempted, have not yet obtained a decisive result; the five or six Governments tried in Mexico, have not be;en able to maintain themselves. Park;uay Proper, the liavannah,- and Porto-Rico, continue unconnected with the party for Independence. " In this s t ate o f t hi ngs, the news of the restoration of Fer dinand VII, to his throne may produce fresh vacillations among the chiefs men possessing in general little ability, and as little -firl...Vs--who govern the vast provinces of America, under the vain name of Republican Congresses. Several of those chiefs have not always been the partisans of separation. Iturbide fought under the Viceroy Coneja for the cause of Ferdinand. ,The clergy are everywhere opposed to innovations in civil and religious le gislation —innovations which the truly Republican Party demands, and must obtain, under pain of being obliged to succumb. The fate of Spanish , America is, there fore, not yet completely decided. The Spanish character, as singular in America as in Europe, cannot be red iced to ordi nary calculations. - • " Why, then, should not Spain, and still more her allies, await.the effects.. which the present state of affairs,. the disap pearance of the power of the Cortes, and some ItidiciO.is conci liatory ideas, may produce? " Why attribute gratuitously to the allies of Spain a project which, without saying any thing of the perils to be incurred in the execution, still presents the absurdity of rendering uselesi the measures of pacification which will doubtless be attempted ? " There are many chances with regard to Spanish America. Even in the case of a partial separation, there are means of bringing the new states (should they ultimately acquire a defi nite existence) into another system of alliance than that in which the Anglo-American policy is endeavouring to engage •hem. The King of F ra nce has granted out of his c i v il li st 195,000 francs, to be applied in augracntztion of the pay of the inferior officers of the Guards. FRENCH Fuzins.—PAß Is, JAN.

In the earlie_t part of the morning a great deal of business was doing. The sudden rise which took place yes terday afternoon, towards the close of the Mar ket, was owing to a great failure of an eminent Banker, of the Stock Exchange, and in conse quence of which the parties to whom he was i n . debted were obliged to bring in their account. understand his draftswere returned from his banker to a considerable amount.

The execution of nur will take Place to- morrow morn i ng. That of quirt,accordin g to the usage of Assize, will not be inflicted for fourteen days, even if the application to the Cro wn for mercy, on the ground of the wretched man's confession having led to the dis covery of the murdered body, should prove inef fectual.. It is, however that alth o , very generally believed, ugh it is much to be regretted that any of the Panie.s to the shocking barbarity perpetrated upon Wr..tat should escap e the vengeance of the law, that the life of s Mad will not w ith s t an di ng b e pared, in consideratifm of the important service 4 rived from his confession to the case for the Prosecution, and on account of the revolting ne cessity which unfortunately exists for inducing ac llioe°4lplices, especially i n cases of murder, to aid in c r i mp , )ng their confederates in crime to justice. In . re viewing all the mo st sava circ umstances of this foul and uP° Sav age mur d er, as detailed in the evid ence u the trial, we abstain, f rom mot i ves o f sin cere l co mpassio n f or the agonized feeligs of t 4 filicted f amily and other resi , ectable n con- nectibns of the principal actor in the tragedy , from dwelling upon the painful subject of his conduct during his imprisonment and trial. To the rising youth, however, of this country, his dreadful fate presents a most awful warning, and an instructive example of• the consequences of entering into vicious and profligate associations. With all the advantages of a good education,—of opulent and respectable friends l —of an eligible introduction to life,—of uncommon strength both of mind and of-body,- - and, as has been she wn by his defence, of talents of no mean consideration, — he has, by venturing to expose himself to the contamination of dissolute companions, been led, step by step, from intemperance to crime, from the dishonourable expedients of a needy adventurer, to the perpetration of mu; der, -from the billiard table to the gibbet Not a shadow of doubt can exist •as to his having * been guilty of the rout enormity . that has ibrought his career to a premature and ignominious end. The humane and enlight' ened Judge before whom he was tried, afforded him every facility for his defence, and even 'ma .nifested an anxiety to give him the advantage of every thing that could be adduced in his favour. That Learned Judge has himself been made the object of misdirected ridicule,and even of calum nious libels, for having, with all the weight of his 'authority, reprobated the Newspaper Press for the prejudice which it had\excited against Thur tell and his associates previous to the trial, and for the sense of justice and humanity which induced him to grant a postponement of the trial from the Assizes to the present week, in order that time might be afforded for that prejudice to subside. It seems to us to be impossible, a;though some of our contemporaries still contend loudly for the publication of every description of exparte statements previous to an investigation before a Jury, not to be sensible, with Mr. Justice PARK, of its inevitable ten. dency to injure either the case for the defence or that for th e p rosecu ti on , an d i n either cas e to prejudic e th e a d m i n i s t rat i on o f t h e publi c justice of the country. No man can believe that, if the evidence against Thuile/ 1 had been doubtful, he could have had that benefit from the doubts which might have been raised in his favour, to which he Was by the beneficent spirit • of the law entitled.— in every quarter it has been observed, (so strong has been the public prepossession ajainst him)) that nothing less could have changed the feeling of the people in his favour than the production of positive proofs of his innocence. The Members of the Jury must have entered upon the discharge of their solemn duty with some share of that feeling against the prisoners which was universally felt by other persons, and must, in spite of themselves, have been disposed to attend less toauy deficiency of evidence for the prosecution, than to a defi- cienty of evidence for the defence. Although the Prosecutors had failed to prove the guilt of the accused, they would insensibly have look ed to the accused for proofs, on their part, of their innocence of the crime; and if the case had been doubtful, not all the caution of the Judge could have wholly averted the effects 01 such a disposition having been given to their . . minds. Fortunately, in the awful ease now under our consideration, the evidence of guil s so dear and irresistible that no injury can have possibly arisen even from the universal prejudice which bad unquestionably been excited. How far it , is necessary to erect some barrier against the future occurrence of so great an evil, is another matter, which calls loudly for most serious consideration. Advices from Bayonne bring the following in telligence respecting the proposed amnesty to be granted by Ferdinand to his revolted subjects : ✓ " BAYONNE, DEC. 30.—We have letters from Madrid of the 24th and 25th. They contain nothing very remarkable, and we shall probably not hear much that is interesting till after the publication of the Decree of Amnesty, which is said to be in the press, the three principal articles of which are the following exceptions to the Royal Pardon.-1. The officers of the Isle of Leon of the rank of Captain and above.-2. All persons who signed the deposition of the King at Seville.- 3. All the Municipalities which proclaimed the Constitution before they were authorized by the King. This last article will affect a great number of persons." GREECE.—(Corfu, Nu v. 30.)--Messrs. Andrew Louriotis, Orlandos, and Lydovistis, Deputies from the Hellenic Congregs, have set sail from this place for London. The welcome and the fetes which have been given them in our island, induce a belief that the object of their voyage ig agreeable to the Government of his Britannic Majesty, and a hope that their mission will at last obtain the success which it deserves.— (Journal des DZ.bats.)

Sr. MARY'S CHURCH, BRYANSTON-SQUARE.—TIie ce remony of consecrating this churchwas yesterday performed by the Bishop of London, in the presence of an extremely nume rous and respectable congregation. Spacious as the interior is, it was quite crowded. At about 11 o'clock, the Bishop, attended by his chaplain, was received at the door of the church by the Chancellor, Registrar, Mi n i ster, anti V estrymen, and being shown into the vestry-room, he there put on his episco pal robes, and thence proceeded to th e f ront o f the alt ar , w h ere the Minister h a nded him the petition, which he ordered to be read try the Registrar. The Bishop then proceeded to the con secration and dedication of the church, and with the clergy and others attending him, walked in procession down the church and back again, alternately repeating the 24th psalm. The Minister next presented to the Bishop the Act of Par liament for building the church, and the deeds of conveyance, which his Lordship placed on the communion table ; and after the usual address and prayers, the sent e n ce of consecrati on was read, signed, a nd promulged ; and, together with the petition and other instruments, commanded to be recorded and regi stered among the oth e r r e cor d s . Th en fo ll owe d the morning and communion services, and the whole concluded with an ap propriate sermon. A Gentleman at present at. Portsmouth, last from Gibraltar, states, that on the Bth ult. the report in the garrison was, that the peasant who caused the apprehension of Riego had been put to death on the 12th. A confirmation of the report was brought with the addition, that others of the fa mily had also been put to death, and that the bodies were found nailed to the backs of different doors of their dwellings, with their throats shockingly cut. Mr. G. KEMBLE, un his return from his thea- trical excursion, and the recovery of Miss FOOTE, is, we understand, to revive the representation of The Vespers of Palermo, a tragedy not only highly honourable to female genius, but indeed a valuable addition to the British Drama. A Subscription is now in progress at New castle-upon-Tyne for the formation of a Fund to erect a handsome Monument, to be placed in St. Nicholas' Church, to the memory of JOSEPH BAINBRIDGE, Esq., Solicitor, of that town, lately deceased. This intended tribute to departed worth, we take leave to say, is highly creditable to the inhabitants of Newcastle ; for, most un questionably, a man more universally beloved, or a more deserving character than the late Mr. BAINBRIDGE, never dwelt within the walls of that ancient town. The Prize for the HULSEAN Dissertation at Cambridge, for the year 1823, was on Tuesday, the 30th ult., adjudged to WILLIAM CLAYTON WALTERS, B.

GRAND FIGHT BETWEEN SPRING AND LANGAN. Perhaps in the annals of BOXING there never was a stronger, if so stroug,an interest excited as by this contest. We subjoin the chief incidents in this rnemor • able contention : On Tuesday morning, and during the whole of the day till a late hour at night, the City of Worcester filled with astonishing rapidity--gigs, horses, chaises, tax-carts, were all in requisition ; every coach came loaded. In the course of the day the coaches from Cheltenham, Bristol, Man chester, and Birmingham, brought full numbers; and these, added to the Londoners, blocked, up. 'every Inn almost to suffocation, and beds were not after four o'clock to be had for love or money.- An arm-chair and a bolster were worth half-a-guinea, and many had to lay, as is the custom of the Iroquois, 'with their feet to the fire.—All busi ness was suspended, and what between those who stopped to see those who came, and the new: comers themselves; the streets of Worcester were nearly impassable. The great anxiety was .to measure the • London pugilists, and gaping - crowds stood in the high street before the inns where the P. C. _gentlemen - were housed.' Oil:i arrived about four O'clOck, and '•the inetant the EX-CharnPion set his foot on, the ground shouts . licclatnattott _were sent :,_ , Was followed and ch eere d. Several others - o f th e nag - eUie'neiiOntifter; but none of .them had the same bottom's paid . them in The arrivals were unceasing during the night. On Wed / nesday morning baronches, filled with titles, rattled over the stones. If we might judge from the numbers there, was not a man of any respectability left athome within 100 miles` of Worcester. The race course was the place appointed, and - Man were employed to draw off the water, and a spot about Aweeity-five ya r d s from the gre a t stan d was fired on for th e fighting -ground. A circle of waggons, a quarter of a mile round, was made, and the space between that and the fighting-ring was ankle-deep in .mud. On each side extensive . gemporary buildings were raised, and accommodation was provid d for 30,000 people. 'To the stand and the new buildings 10s. each was charged, and here at least 5,000 paid toll. A new ground was raised in the fighting ring, and this strewed with saw-dust, made - a good footing. At twelve - o'clock there was not a place to be had on the stand, platform, or in the tveggons, and the mob filled up the space—altogether it was-calculated that 30,000 people were present.—The yards of a few vessels in the Severn, which runs close by the race ground, weie fully manned, and the whole was a grand and imposing scene. The betting was 2 and 3 to 1, and 4 to 1 in some places, on Spring . • TINE SET-TO. The combitants stripped with alacrity. Spring's person was in fine order, -and gave increased confidence to his backers and _friends; nor was that of his antagonist in inferior condition. They tossed for the side, Langan gained it. The sun seas shin ing very brilliantly considering the time of the year. Hound I. At 14 minutes' to two they shook hands and set-to. Spring eyed It is man with caution. One minute and a half elapsed before a blow was struck, it was slight. Spring with his left hand touched' Langan's mug. Spring drew first blood. Spring tried a feint with his left, and gave a well told blow with his right or. the .side of the left cheek. (Bravo, Spring.) Lan gan's guard was very good, and excited the admiration of scientific men. Both bent on mischief; Spring threw out Ii a left hand and hit Langan On the right eye, which made it twinhie.—(Loud shouts for Spring, and 201. to Si. offered in his favour), and minutes elapsed when a rally took place, it was entirely in favour of Spring, and he floored his opponent.

Langan, unable to come to time, resigned the contest, and Spring was declared the victor. The contest was so we ll maintained at one time, and victory appeared so doubtful, that the bets were reduced to a level. Thunders of applause for Spring, who was taken away in Lord Deerhurst's carriage. LORD EaSKIIiES WILL. The Last Will and -Testament of the late Right Hon.

PETERSBURG 11, Dec. 13.—Last night I received an express from Cronstadt with reports of the 23d, 27th, and 30th ult., of which the following are copies:— CitoNsrair, Nov. 23 —The continued rain and thaw of this week, as well as the storms of Tuesday 'and Wednesday, accompanied by the uncommon rise of water, have broke up the ice in every direction, and it is now floating about at the will of the wind and current. This morning the ships made preparations for proceeding to sea, the wind ve er i ng eastwar d , but as . it was slight, and the weather very foggy, they laid aside their . intentions ; besides which the sea was seen at intervals when the fog cleared up, covered with ice, to the distance of at least 4or 5 versts. The brig and galliot are still at anchor, but it is impossible to com municate with them. Wind SE. Nov. 27.—A rri ved the Swedish brig St. Peter from Bordeaux. On Saturday last the ice disappeared entirely, excepting a few floating pieces, end the passage t o th e sea was per f ectly , clear, and continued so till last night, when the wind and water increased, and the ice has in consequence returned,'CoVers the . sea in a compact body, and no open wa t er i s to b e seen even from the mast head. The wind did did not allow the ships to proceed. The galliot is no longer to be seen; it must there fore have put back to sea again. —Wind S.W. Nov. 30.—The frost of the last three days hos knit the ice together, and it forms, therefore, now one compact body r.s far as the eye can reach, consequently the departure of the ships this season may be looked upon AS imp oss ibl e . The weather here (St. Petersburgh) has been• extremely changeable. Yesterday there were 10 degrees of frost, and at this moment it thaws. A great quantity of stow his fallen within the last week. .1. MELANCHOLY CONFLtzlitATToN.—t, et rr, n 1 Jest:ay morning about four o'clock, the premises of 31r.• rennett, landlord of the George Inn, in Ratcliffe, were by the watthman discovered to be en fire; he immediately gave a'. alarm, at:el it v. , ; -s with the greatest difficulty Mrs. Bennett and four infant children were rescued from their perilous situation in a state of nudity, by the assistance of Bourn, engineer to the Globe_ of and the kind exertions of Mr. Antterson _.tad iVr. Dar vibe, who conveyed Mrs. Pennett and family to the Glob.: engine-house. Mr. Bennett, unfortunately, was -dreadfully burnt in his face and right arm; from the latter he is inform eel amputa:ion must be th:. result. _Henry Anisey. who was sleeping in the second floor ,f Nt. Ber.nett's house, fell a vie tim to the devouring element, it being impossible t.,) render him any assistance, and all that remeius of this anfortut:ate suf ferer is a mere skeleton. Mr. Bennett was not insured, an'f his lets is estimated at upwards of 7bo/. From his general good character, a subscription has been proposed, as the suffirers are destitute of a home, and have lost all that honest indus try possessed them of, after a labola of 40 years. Every exer tion was used by the Globe, the two parish engines, and the Sun, but the fury of the element resisted every effort until the premises were completely gutted. The conflagration was first discovered in Mr. Bennett's-slecping-roorn, in which, on ac count of Mrs. Bennett's ill -state of health, a eandThbad been left burning, and being placed on a dressing tahln, .communi cated to the window curtains. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.- 1 ( TAZ Day.)—These Sessions commenced this day, before F. CONST, EN. and a Bench of Magistrates, for the trial of offences committed within the city and liberty of Westminster. The Traverse Paper on the pre sent occasion is rather light ; but we regret to state, there are a contiderable number of petty larceny cases - for trial. The Grand and Petit Juries having been sworn, and the usual formula having been gone through, the Court proceeded in the hearing of assaults, but nothing occurred of public interest.
