NEW You=, JUNE 9.—The policy of Great Britain in rela tion to South American independence generally, while it must tend to place beyond doubt the permanent independence of that vast portion of the globe, must eventually result in securing great influence and advantage to the British nation. We ques. tion whether the British have at any period of their history attained a greater height of prosperity than they at present pos. sess. A series of wars for many years, and a practice of subsi dizing the whole European Continent, have crippled tlann with a heavy National Debt ; yet the finances of the country are in a state of improvement, and some of the restrictive measures have been lightened. The great point, however, has been attained— they possess what they have been fighting for. They are at peace, and having no apprehension of rebellion at home, are now prepared to push their influence in every quarter of the globe, and at present have a steady eye fixed on the Republics of South America. The policy of Mr. Canning is rather free and spirited, and nothing gives more security to the foreign policy of a nation than peace and security at home. After the ill-concerted and ill-advised war in Spain, France un doubtedly contemplated ahording aid to Spain in the recovery of certain Spanish American provinces, and had already cal culated the advantages which would result from a successful effort. Here the influence of Great Britain was immediately exerted to prevent such combined plans, and France was compelled to put up her navy, which already, in a short block ade of Spanish ports, read grown to an unpleasant magnitude. The blow warded off; and a positive recognition of the South American independence postponed, tae Cabinet of St. James has placed beyond doubta its intentions and views towards the new governments. Loans of all kinds have been encouraged ; companies have been formed to work the mines in Mexico ; consular agents have boon appointed ; and a bustle and activity manifested which sheerly indicate the influence which it is con template to attain in those valuable sections of country. Al. though, from contiguity of situation and similarity of govern ment, the United States may be considered as the natural ally of South America, yet the zeal and activity of the British, asos seising greater resources, will shoot it.head of us and'the want of harmony amongst ourselves in the selection of men for pro minent stations in the government must impair our influence abroad. The unhappy selection of an improper character for Minister to Mexico is paralyzing our relations with that new Government, and has given Great Britain great advantages over us. At all events, it may be well doubted whether Eu rope will ever attempt to reconquer America, and it is even , apparent that France desires to recognize the independence • of Saint Domingo. The first important step which will be taken under the sanction of the British Government, will be an attempt to unite the Pacific and Atlantic by the shortest cut, and surveys for purpose have Leen authorized.— i It is not doubted that a Canal can be made, and at a mo derate cost, and the British will poss.: , ss themselv•-s of territory pn the Pacific and Atlantic, which will give them One command of the mouths of this most important and valuable of all canals in the world; thus keeping one foot in India, and the other in South America, holding in one hand a vast European influence, and in the other the commerce of South America, the Gulph of Mexico, Newfoundland, and the St. Lawrence. It cannot be expected that we can keep pace with Great Britain, but we can do more than we do at present; and under a better organized and more popular Administration we will do more. We hear much said of the harmony subsisting between Great Britain and the United States, and the united strength of both nations ; this benefits us less than Great Britain—it strengthens the strongest, and we keep in her wake. There is, however, no cause of jealousy; we have done as much in the advancement of national character as any nation, anti we are progressing with rapid and successful strides. There are some important mea sures wit:eh we are called upon to take. Exertions should be used to settle the claims of lands in Florida, and have that new territy improved and strengthened by population. Our navy requires an efficient organization and a better government alto piing. Ships, instead of rotting at our docks, should be man ned and equipped, and a display made in parts of the world which may give an influence to our flag. Men of tried worth, of popular manners and undoubted talents, should be selected as the representatives of our country on foreign stations. ‘re waut more harmony and weight, and inure efficiency and cha racter in the administration. Great and important changes will, in all probability, take place next year, which may give additional weight and influence to the United States in our con cans with Foreign Powers. . _ (From the National Intelligeneer. ) WAsniNGTOH, JUNE 10.—The stock of the Bank of the United States has been steadily advancing for some time past, until it has attained a point of appreciation not only much above what it has been at any previous period since us great depression, at the close of the first administration of the coati. tution, but which looks like an approximation (though from different causes) towards the inflated value which speculation at. tached to it during the first years of its existence. Large sales have been made at New York as high as 22 per cent. above par, and that is the price at which the stock is last quoted in most of the eastern cities. This advance is not the effect of reckless speculation, of the prosperous condition of the institu tion, the abundance of capital in the commercial cities, and the increased confidence of monied men in the Bank, as a safe and profitable institution for the investment of surplus capital. The large loan lately effected by the Bank to the Government for the payment of the Spanish claimants, and the probability of others which it is known the Government contemplates lie. hotiating, in the reduction of the public debt, have doubtless ad consider a bl e i n fl uen ce in raising the stock of the Bank to its present price, and these causes combined may carry it even much higher. SHAWNEE AND DELAWARE INDIANS. NEw -Y cm, JUNE 12.—The Arkansas Ga.scite of the 20th of April, states that serious alarms existed among the inhabi tants of Batesville, in consequence of some disorderly move ments among the Shawnees, Delawares, and other Indian tribes, who had removed to that section of our territory within the last two or three years. The youths among these tribes are said to be so determined on murdering the whites, that some of the old and friendly chiefs had left the territory because they found it impossible to restrain them. Unless a min. Lary post was established on White River, it was believed that the country about Batesville would soon be abandoned to the Indians. NEW.YORF.

( From the Etvile, dated Thursday. July 8. ) ST. CLOUD, JULY 7.—The King has heard mass in his apartments, and at noon there was Council of Ministers, at which his Majesty pre sided. The Council did not break up till half pact one. The day before yesterday, the Duc de la Chatre was seized with an apoplectic fit at Mea don. His situation is such as to cause some alarm. The King has sent to inquire after him. M UMW, JULY I.—Several Spanish Consuls abroad, desirous of fulfilling with the greatest care their duty to his Majesty's subjects, who have daily recourse to , their good offices, have expressed a laudable wish for the publication of a collection of the Ordinances and instructions which are to guide them in the exercise of their functions. The King, desiring to comply with this wish, has named a Junta, composed of D. Antonio Gomez Calderon, Counsellor of State ; D. F. Alearaz and D. Maria de la Purge, Coun sellors of Finance, and of two Consuls-General, D. Pedro de Zugasti and D. Mateo de la Serna. The General Junta of the Proprietors of the Bank of St. Carlos had the honour to be pre sented to the King on the '2sth of June, by its President, Marquess de Valverde, and its Di rector-General, Marquess de Ahnonara. The President delivered a speech, in answer to which his Majesty assured the Junta of his gracious protection. The Royal Company of the Philippines has announced that it will pay, nt its public bureau, the interest and arrears, the paym en t o f which was supended by the Revolution. BucitAlma, JUNE 18.—Notwithstanding all that has been said in the Journals, our situation remains unchanged.

( From the Greek Telegraph of tae nth May. ) M Y 18.—A courier I►as just arrived from Salona with dispatches, forwarded by General Ulysses and Colonel Stanhope, who are now at the Congress, to Captain Trelauny, who, as soon as he had read the letters, set off for Zante, for the purpose of conferring with the Com missaries of the Greek Loan on the present state of Greece, and to recommend the absolute necessity of retaining the money at Zante until the Greek Government shall have made a report of the most pressing wants of the State, the actual force of the army and navy, the state of the► finances and the means of pay ing the interest of the debt. The same courier brought informa tion that Ipsara is menaced with an attack by a considerable Turkish fleet, and that the brave inhabitants of that island are busy day and night in repairing their fortifications, and aug. malting their military force, to repel with vigour the attack of the enemy. It is said that Outer Puha has received orders to march upon Athens, at the head of a considerable army; that Achinet Pacha is to raise the blockade of Negropunt ; and that a third army is to march against Salona. In order to aug ment the zeal of his Generals, the Porte has promised them possession of the provinces which they may conquer in the ap. proaching campaign. HAMBURG!' AND DUTCH PAPERS. ST. PETERSDURGH. JUNE 19.—The departure of his Majesty the Emperor will probably take place at the beginning of Anz,ust. On the 10th of March an ukase was issued to the following effect :—" No public functionary in the Russian service shall, without special permission of his superior, compose writings in any language whatever, which, though dispensed from the cen sorship, treat of the dcmemtie or foreign affairs of this Empire." The French corvette the Stint, belongin g to the squadron now in the roads of Constadt, will mil i n three or four days, and take the French Ambassador, the Marquis de St. Simon, back to Copenhagen.

DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, July 10. [BRITISH PRBSS:j It was stated yesterday, with great confidence, that a diplomatic note on the affairs of Portugal, from the Allied Sovereigns to their respective Ambassadors at foreign Courts, would almost im mediately make its appearance. The purpose of this Note would be, it was said, to express their determination to put an end to the disturbed state of Portugal, in order that no conseqnences might grow out of it injurious to the repose of Europe, and the harmony subsisting between the Cabinets. For this purpose England, as the an cient Ally of Portugal, was, in the first place, to send troops to that country for the preservation of its tranquillity, and the support of the Kiog's au thority ; but it was added, the Note would fur ther intimate, that if this supply was insufficient, the Allied Sovereigns would, on the request of his Most Faithful Majesty, furnish an additional force themselves. We do not profess to be acquainted with the authenticity of this intelli. genre, but supposing it to be true, it is the best confirmation of the opinion we have given on this question. France, who Is the executor of the projects of the Holy Allies in Western Europe," is evidently desirous to take military possession of Portugal. tier command of the Peninsula will then be complete, and she will finally have succeeded in accomplishing that which has long been an object of French ambitio n : she ‘‘ ill ef fectually, and for ever, have broken the closely cemented alliance which has for nearly two cep:. turies continued without intermission between England and Portugal. We perfectly agree with The Courier, that " it would be a more desirable course, if practicable, to organize, by means of that influence which peculiarly belongs to our re lations with Portugal, a power sufficient to con. trout the apprehended danger, without recurring to the aid of foreign troops." But as we absolutely doubt the practicability of this course, the only alternative left is to give military assistance to such extent as the exigency of the crisis may re quire. The French troops are on the frontiers of Portugal, ready to march over them on the first moment when the fears of the King May induce him to call for them. If we wait to try the ex- periment how much longer our aid can be dis pensed with, we shall probably find its necessity (superseded, and the fruits of our tardy friend ship ultimately rejected. The nature of our con nection with Portugal is dissimilar from any sub sisting bet ween any other two independent powers. Portugal has been accustomed, in all her difficulties, to look to us for relief, and she 0 1; c t i l ec s iuo n i: e la. v t e i o r En yt uo e rro loo ke d sipe i)stuiucs could ed tof i a l i Our sreleyjexo excite e i a n al lo rary it i o rely upon England for her national and political ex istence. Our interference, therefore, in her af fairs, at her own request, and manifestly for no selfish purpose, could not be any more open to misconstruction Ow any other bold and vigo rous act of policy. What would have been the condition of England now, if these timid appre hensious had always prevailed in our intercourse with foreign nations ? We advise no rash or blind precipitation, by which hostile feelings might be unnecessarily provoked ; but let us not, by an excess of false prudence, tamely give up the advantages which the united voice of Europe calls upon us to retain. [Naw Times] We have received the Etoile of Thursday, which contains an article, far too long for us to extract, in reply to the article attributed to M. de Chateaubriand in the Journal des Debats. As to the Journal des D4bals, we have already stated our opinion of its utter want of principle, and we are not surprised at its opening its columns to any doctrines: but we cannot believe that M. de Chateaubriand would de3cend to the projects im puted to him by the Etoile of a coalition with the Liberaux. M. tie Villele's danger is nut from that quarter; and such a coalition would be inevitably fatal to any Royalist who should make the attempt. The French Rentes do not improve. They left off on Wednesday at 08.50. for Money, and 00. for Account. [MORNING POST.] There was a time when the Pope's Enclytic Letter, on assuming the triple crown, would have really fulminated over Europe, and shaken not only subjects on their beds but Sovereigns on their thrones. That period has happily passed away, and the Head of the Romish Church is at piesent possessed of very little spiritual as well as temporal power, even in countries and under Governments essentially Catholic. It is but a few months since in France that an open schism took place between a Bishop and his Majesty Louis XVIII. on a matter affecting to be exclu sively . religious, and the former was punished like any lay subject equally offending against the interests of the State. The value of the late Enclytic Epistle is therefore very trifling, but still one may be allowed to notice the hostile terms in which his Iloline , s speaks throughout it against all freedom of opinion and liberty or judgment touching religious questions. 'Phut lliil no mean s surprising, dst:ould be anathematized byis fo deemed the worst enemy of the it has mChu alircl"Oyfßs beenome. The Sovereign Pontiff, at the same time, seems less incensed against the hydra than the Bajle Society, to which, nevertheless, we think he has done a most acceptable service.— This Society, he assures us," audaciously spreads itself over the whole earth, and in contempt of the traditions of the Holy Fathers, and contrary to the Decree of the Council of Trent, exerts all its efforts and every means to translate, or rather to corrupt the Holy Scriptures into the vulgar tougue of nil nations—which gives just cause to fear that it may happen in all other translations as in those already published, viz. that we may find in them a bad interpretation; instead of the Gospel of Jesus, the Gospel of Man, or rather the Gospel of the Devil." After exhorting his brethren to avoid this scourge by all proper means, his Holiness ritprobates the distribution of the foregoing translation,, which, " to seduce the simple, are sometimes sold and sometimes given away." Now, in truth, these charges against Bible Societies are, in themselves, by no means formidable. [sto attiNo ctittosicLV.] The conduct of Government with respect t 6 the Insurrection Act seems very indefensible.— Last year Parliament was' required to adopt atm the mere credit of the Marquess of Wellesley ; in the present year it has been introduced in a hurry at the close of the Session, recommended by a Committee reluctantly appointed a few weeks before. We should desire to know whether it was at any time the intention of Minis ters to propose the renewal of this most uncoaSti tutional enactment, without any better realloti being given than the vague and general allega tions of Mr. Goulburn, that the Act was needed ; and if not, we should be glad to hear from any Member of Government, or from any one who professes to be satisfied with the manner in which Irish affairs are administered, why the Insurrec tion Act Committee was not appointed at such a period in the late Session as would have allowed time fora satisfactory Inquiry and Report ; what excuse is there for the precipitation with which Ministers have acted ? Large anticipations of the benefits to accrue to Ireland from the admi nistration of Lord Wellesley were indulged at the period of his appointment. But certainly the acts of his Government have been character= ized by little of the discretion, judgment, con sistent and deliberate prudence, us well as energy, which were expected to distinguish them. So fur as he himself is personally concerned; things do appear to be right ; in the exercise of that prerogative %Melt forms especially the per sonal duty of the Chief Governor—the commuta tion or remission of punishment—his Excellency has displayed those excellent qualities which he was believed to possess. Yet his administratiorg as a whole is iufirrn.

The' point, however, 46 up to" which matters are said to have proceeded smoothly i is just that point beyond which there appeared from the outset hardly a likelihood that the Commissioners would make any progress whatever. It is one, in fact, which under a collateral and secondary formi em braces the whole substance of this national dispute. Portugal may profess to recognize the indepen deuce of the Brazilian empire; but if, as a rider upon that concession, she calls for such an act of settlement as shall hereafter unite both crowns on the head of a single Sovereign, it is plain that the whole object contended for by Brazil would be frustrated, and the acknowledgment of her dis tinct sovereignty a mere illusion. The freedom desired by Brazil is not en empty honour. She has been prompted to the exercise of it by her experience of the practical evils arising' from the dominion asserted, and the policy enforced, by the parent country—by the chains im- posed upon her commerce—the jealous and oppressive maxims on which her internal govern. went was conducted—and the uniform Subjec tion end sacrifice of her interests, whenever they were presumed to come into competition with those of Portugal.
