We have this forenoon received, by Express, n, litter from our vigilant and well-informed Cor- I :', B l 3 ondent at Paris, with the intelligence that th • e 'telegraph : had announced the issue of an t‘rnnegy by FERDINAND VII. A Second Express from Paris has brought us ,! l 'e important and afflicting intelligence that the 110 9alist Army in Peru has gained a signal vic to"7 over the Independents, and that Callao l 'as fallen into their hands. The news of this ilvent had been brought by a French frigate, "d Was immediately transmitted to the French (it overnmen t. The news of the defeat of the Independents iu Peru has excited great alarm amongst the holders of South American Securities. Peruvian Scrip has fallen at once to 41 discount, and even that low quotation may he considered nominal ; for there is scarcely a purchaser at any price. All the South American Funds feel the effects of this blow, and are heavy in the market. It is, under all circumstances, matter of congratulation that the British Public have fortunately escaped the Loan vrhich was recently in treaty for the Brazils.— 'th e contract for the Peruvian Loan, for in stance, was taken at 85,—was given to the Sub scribers at 882,—and the Subscribers again favoured the public with them, at a premium of 41, —so that the profits upon the whole transaction, for the speculators, amounted to the enormous sum of six or seven hundred thousand pounds before the second payment'.— The speculators are now getting money to make the second payment at the rate of 22 O r 43 per cent. Can the public be so gulled as to invest their property in these insecurities, Wider the risk, for the sake of a fallacious pro spect of high Interest, of losing their capital altogether ? Two o'C/ock.--Consols opened at 961, and have not undergone any fluctuation. Indeed there is little or nothing doing public securities. in any kind of In a preceding column we have given extracts from the Paris Papers of Monday and Tuesday. Several additional French regiments, it will be 6 betrvod, are ordered into Spain: General Count GUILLF.MINOT has sailed from Toulon on I '4 Embassy to Constantinople. We have received letters from Pernambuco of the 10th March, by the ship Alexander, Capt. "IP A which arrived at Cowes yesterday. An I"egiiiil frigate had arrived from Bahia, and the st ate of affairs at Pernambuco was so very un settled and precarious, that the European Por tQgtlese had requested to be conveyed in her to Ilu roPe, with their families and property. In a Second Edition of TILE Sum, on the 6 th instant, we exclusively announced the arrival of th ret more French ships of war in the Tagus. t °n2 our extract from the Times of this mora l:lg (vide fourth page), it will be seen that our Ifnformation on this subject is in substance con 'tilled, and that the French Government have rei terated their pacific explanations of all these by of their marine. The account. given by the Times is that the additional arrival in the 4 agus was of two ships of war ; and the expla ilatinn of the Cabinet of the Tuileries is that th ese ships only made a call at Lisbon on their vo yage fro m B res t t o C a diz with provisions for tie garrison of that city. The latest ad vices from Amsterdam state that ° ld Prussian Bonds have advanced there to 1061. Dutch, 2 per Cents. had risen from GO to Gli. Similar advices from Frankfort quote Austrian Stock there at 9A2. At. Hamburgh the same Stock has advanced from 97 to 994. Indeed, throughout the Continent the Securities of all old established Governments are in great request, and are generally im proving in value. General Merchants seem almost every where to have become dealers in public Stocks ; so that this species of property has become so extensive an article of traffic that there are more Stock Merchants than any ether class of mercantile men. The following article, which we extract from the Morning Chronicle of this day, corroborates nearly all that we have for some tim - a past said on the subject of South America, and of the in jurious consequences which result to British in terests from the uncertain and precarious state of the new Governments of that Continent : • " Crr T, Wednesday Evening.—On the English Stock Ex- I change the Consols for the Settlement, on the 25th current , opened this morning at Hi I, but there was extremely little animation in the market, and they closed at the opening price -There is a kind of doubt hanging over the money market at present, for which it is impossible to give any well-founded reason. Some attribute the existence of this temporary dull ness to the supposed interference of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer with the Sinking Fund, in applying it to the re demption of the sum which the - Bank of England will pay, on the 10th of Octriber, to those who will not accept of three and a half per cent. interest for their four per cent. stock, the total amount of which cannot exceeclllikven millions, ster ling, but, most probably, will be found considerably less. There are others, who suppose that the preseekk uncertainty, which exists in the public mind, respecting the real though hidden intentions of the Holy Allied Monarchs, and of the BOURBONS towards Spanish and Portuguese America, is a well-founded reason for the cautious conduct which Capi_ talists spew in their investments of money in Public National Securities. It is well known that this uncertainty paralyses the Trade betwixt Great Britain and the New American States,__ for so long as' the public mind is disturbed by rumours, however extravagant, commerce cannot be carried on to the extent, and with the advantages, which, under a mare settled system, would most assuredly be reaped from a close alliance with these rich and extensive Republics. A Newspaper, for instance, was exhibited this day on the Royal Exchange, dated in Rio on the 3d of March, tho Editor of which, it is known, went some time ago from Paris to the Brazils. The principles of this paper are truly Royalist, and its Conductor is loud in the praises of the Holy Alliance, and in condemnation of the conduct of his Britannic Majesty's Ministers. If the inde pendence of the Brazilian Empire was acknowledged by Great Britain, this Newspaper would not attract much attention ; but when suspicions are generally entertained that the European Continental Monarchs are secretly aiding the disaffected, and encouraging hostility to the freedom of the Americans, consi derable importance may be attached even to the existence of this servile Paper at Rio. It is clear, for instance, that a Newspaper uttering democratic sentiments would not be to.. lerated a single day at Rio. It is therefore a matter both of regret and surprise, that Ministers; who profess the in. terest of England alone to be the sole. guide of their pub lie conduct, do not at once put an end to all doubt and un certainty respecting the freedom of America , b y for ming Treaties of Commerce and Friendship with the new States, and by recognising their s ov ere i g nty an d independence.—Mr. Canning, w h e n t hi s b usiness was last men tioned in the House of Commons, stated, that h e wa ited the return of a messenger from Madrid. This messenger must long since have returned, and it is only justice to the Merchants of Great Britain, that they should now be informed, whether the Ministers of his Britannic Majesty consider the new American Republics free and independent or not ; for until this fact be established, either one way or other, the present fever must increase to the great detriment of the best interests of the British Crown." We have received the following from the Spanisl Capital : (PRIVATE LETTER.) MADRID, APRIL 26.—The Court quitted Toledo, the day before yesterday, for Aranjuez ; it was reported they were to arrive at Madrid to-morrow, but it is more probable they will remain in that palace all the next month. Monsr. Le Marquis de Talaru, the French Ambassador, arrived the day before yesterday at Toledo ; it is expected he will soon set off for Paris. A change has been rumoured for some days past in the ministry; and the persons named are Don Victor Saez, Le Baron d'Eroles, and Campana. The following fact is the cause of this rumour :—The Minister of Grace and Justice, unknown to his Majesty, had sent orders to Don Saez to leave Toledo during the stay of the King in that city ; but the Chapter of the Cathedral had requested him to meet the King on Ins entry, and to address hini in his name. Don Saez resolved to perform this mission before he obeyed the orders of the Mini ster. After haranguing his Majesty, Don Saez concluded in these words:—" Sire, I hope your Majesty will not take it amiss, if I do not appear again in your presence during your Majesty's stay in this city, as I have received your Ministers' orders to quit it during that time." To which the King replied—" I know nothing of such an order; you may remain." From this time Ministers feared that Don Saez would be invested with public affairs, and name his own friends for his colleagues ; but the favour of the King has not, as yet, exceeded a gracious reception. The Generals charged with the organization of the army have decided, in a Council of the King, to proceed in a levy of 60,000 to 60,000 men, 20,000 of whom are destined for an expedition against South America. The capital is tranquil, but trade is paralited. The house of Wermane Gowe has stopped payment; this Was one of the first houses in the city. (ExTriAcT OF ANOTHER LETTER.) MADRID, APRIL 26.—1 t is presumed that the arrival of Baron d'Eroles in this capital has given rise to the reports of a change of Ministers. The Liberals affect always to place in the first rank the man they dread the most. They there fore pretend that Victor Saez will, for the twentieth time, receive the Porteuille of the Prime Minister; the Duke de San Carlos, Ambassador at Paris, is to be the Minister de la Justice ct des Graces ; the Baron d'Eroles, the War Minister ; Don Juan Pedro Vincenti, the present Director of the Sinking Fund, to be the Minister of Finance ; General Campana will be named Foreign Minister. It is difficult to find in the Penin sula men more devoted, more faithful, and who have given greater proofs of attachment to the throne, or greater proofs of superior talents. Much is talked of the new levy of 50,000 men ; the Royal decree is expected in a few days; half this force will be destined for South America. (PRIVATE LETTER.) MADRID, APRIL 29.—The 26th instant, about five o'clock in the afternoon, a terrible hurricane, which happily did not last long, threw this capital into the greatest alarm anti con sternation. A thick cloud of dust covered, for a short time, the whole of the city,which rendered it impossible to distinguish any object in the streets ; a furious wind overthrew every thing it met in its passage ; a loud clap of thunder ; the noise of shut ters, the windows, and doors, which were shut with precipitation in the smaller shops; the signs were broken to pieces, and car ried to a considerable distance. For four or five minutes the streets presented a melancholy spectacle, and announced a dreadful catastrophe. Previous to the hurricane the atmos phere was sultry, with a predominant smell of sulphur ; the thermometer marked more than 24 degrees of heat, and fell, instantly the- storm was over, to between 10 and 12. In the walks of the Prado and Retiro, and the environs of the city, more than 100 trees Were torn up, and much damage is done in the country. Nothing of importance occurred in either House of Parliament yesterday ; and both Houses rose at a very early hour. The Cabinet dined with Earl of WESTMOR LAND yesterday at his house in Grosvenor-square, Yesterday Prince POLIGNAC (the French Am. bassador), had a long interview with the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. _ _ The Duchess of BEDFORD is considerably re covered from her indisposition. Viscountess BULKELEY is much indisposed at her house in Stanhope-street, May-fair. THE KING. WilmsOn, MAY l2.—His MAJESTY, accompanied by the Marquis Conyngliam, left the Palace in his travelling car riage this afternoon, at a quarter before three o'clock, for the Royal Lodge.—His Majesty rode through the town and up the Long-walk, and seemed in greatly improved health and spirits. This morning Count Munster arrived at the Palace, and left again this afternoon at three o'clock for London. . . - ~.... ••' , V,..:r.:,.-, -Vr i ‹.l 4 • - . ~...-tt. . ;OF\ , t cAA 1. ' ,41 .'

VERSES IX lIO.NOUR OP Hlg MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY RING GEORGE THE FOURTH, THE ILLUTRIOUS PATRON OF THE LITERARY FUND. BY SIR WILLIAM ASHBURNIIAM I BART. Say, shall no Bard in animating strains Proclaim to Britain's Sons a Brunswick reigns ? Shall we, who feel his mild paternal sway, No joy evince, no thankfulness display ? Shall Erin deem herself supremely blest, AlloWed to clasp her Monarch to her breast ; Shall Scotia greet her Chief with loud acclaim, And blend her blessings with his honour'd name ; And yet shall England pour no votive strain To him who holds the trident of the main ? Will no bold independent Briton sing The heart-felt praises of our Patriot King ? Shall Gallic Bards their boasted Lours praise, And HORACE chaunt AuGus•ros' golden days ; Yet shall no grateful lays to GEORGE extend, The friend of Learning, and the Muses' friend ? Shall apathy still slumber o'er the lyre, No merit waken, and no virtues fir e ? Sh a ll charge of adulation still restrain, Shall fear unstring each harp, each tongue enchain ? Forbid it, gratitude ! forbid it, zeal ! A theme like this must make the coldest feel; A theme like this must every breast inspire, Tune every voice, and rotate each dormant lyre. Let British Bards a bright example show, Of the just tribute we our SOVEREIGN owe. ,Fir'd at the thought, my ardent voice I'll raise, And with the trumpet's clangor sound his praise.

Erin's emerald Isle, to India's bowers, Crmadia's shore, and great Augusta's towers! To praise ere we decide our Sovereign's claim, Think how he acted in his Father's name; Think in his Father's steps how close he trod, True to the Laws, his Country and his God. Say, did he not, in peril's storm-girt hour ? Accept the scepter of restricted power ? Who can affirm he e'er that power abus'd ? By whom is he arraigned ?—of what accused ? Oh! may he not, with righteous SAMUEL say— O'er whom have I e'er held oppressive sway ? Whom have I injured ?—whom have I oppress 'd ? When did I turn my face from the distress'd ? O'er any if my regal terrors wave, 'Tis to protect them, I am bound to save. If e'er coercion's cords I'm forc'd to draw, "Els to support the majesty of Law. Did not our Monarch, in his Father's name, Exalt our country to the heights of fame ? Say, did he not, with well. directed blow, Hurl his red bolt 'gainst Europe's slaughtering foe ? His arms victorious bade war to cease, And British victory pav'd the path for peace. Praise to the Heroes who on land or sea ]llaintain'd the lion's proud supremacy • Praise to the Chiefs who British valour led, Conquer'd with Wxt.LitrozoN—with NELSON bled. To other scenes now let us turn our eyes, To humbler valleys, and to milder skies. Philanthropy, that Heaven-descended guest, Has fixed her mansion in a GEORGE'S breast. To misery he gives unask'd relief ; His joy it is to stop the source of grief; To aid the wretched, hear the orphan's prayer, And snatch from death the victim of despair; Like Nile, with plenty flood th' impoverish'd plain, And bid pale indigence to smile again ; On Arts and Science beams of favour shed, And place the laurel-wreath on Learning's head. Such, such are deeds that Christian Virtue owns, And, true to Christian Virtue, Glory crowns. * No gems of pity ever brighter shone, Than those which decorate the British Throne; Those gems that glisten in a Monarch's eye, The tribute feeling pays to charity. Long may our SovEnExGN live, by Heaven's decree, To rule a Nation loyal, brave, and free ! llis People's love his great, his best reward ; He our Protector—we his faithful Guard. True Freedom's pillars prop Britannia's Throne— We in a Brunswick's rights defend our own. Let our glad voices make this roof to ring With a just tribute to a PATRIOT KING. * Vide BUTsON on the Love of our Country. CLENNELL. The misfortunes of this highly gifted Artist have been of a deep and awful character ; but it is to be hoped picture,t atli r e high e r ep derisive osp ts C a r h e a y rg e e t i o. n f s i t)) , e r e L f if o e r ch uard 11 s 2 ; s t c l e w l e h ß r t t t e l t e l (I f Waterloo, which has been engraved, and The Banquet given tU the Allied Sovereigns at Guildhall, painted for the late Earl of Bridgewater, are too well known to require description.— But the latter is peculiarly interesting, not only for the extraor dinary picturesque manner in which so unpromising a subject is treated, and the faithful portraits it contains, but from its being the immediate cause of his unhappy derangement. Devoted to his pencil, and striving to render the picture worthy the event it commemorates, the many arduous and complicated difficulties he had to encounter were too much for him—his active and enterprising mind gave way, and lie sank at once from genius and fame, to insanity and seclusion. He became an inmate of one or two lunatic asylums, and was finally removed to Laver stock House, near Salisbury, and placed under the care of Dr. Finch. During his retirement there, his afflicted wife, the accomplished daughter of the eminent engraver Warren, borne down by the shock of her husband's calamity, fell a victim to the same disease; and it is a remarkable fact, that though separated from each other by distance, and under different superintend ence, the most perfect sympathy was found to have existed in the respective stages of their disease, and the excitement and depres ' sion were invariably mutual. In a few months the attack proved fatal to her; and she was shortly afterwards followed to the grave by one of her children. Thus bereaved of reason, of wife, and child, the unconscious and unfortunate Clennell became an object of attention to many Noblemen and Gentlemen who knew his talents, his worth and his misfortunes. Means were taken to procure a subsistence for him and his two remaining children, and his friend& and patrons had the happiness to feel that they had placed lihn above want. But scarcely was this benevolont act accomplished, when death suddenly snatched away his father:in-law, Warren ! In the process of time his dish ease seemed to yield to the treatment he had received, and the first dawn of returning reason was his wish to be supplied with pencil and paper; and it is a singular truth, that his first efforts in drawing were directed to the very rudest and ear liest principles of the art. He appeared to consider it necessary to feel his way, as it were, and to proceed by regular gradations to the full developenient of his usual talent. The sketches which he afterwards drew are eminently beautiful, and all things seemed to work favourably tar his ultimate recovery ; hilt the fear of the effect which might be produced upon his shattered senses by tile communication of his grcat and ac ,:umulated losses, operated as a check upon the hope of per feet restoration. At length the time arrived when Doctor Finch considered the experiment might safely be made. He therefore requested some of his family to see him, and take his son, an interesting bOy of about ten years of age, with them. It was a moment of intense and painful anxiety, and the utmost caution and delicacy were necessary in unfold ing the miseries and privations which had befallen him; but when, as a set-off against his overwhelming distress, his boy was given to his arms, his feelings of delight obtained the mastery, and lie bore the afflicting tidings with fortittide. His earnest gaze dwelt upon his son's features—he led him with a feeling of proud and parental affection to exhibit him to hisfellow patients—and when tie parted from him, though he wept, he re linquished him with cheerfulness, and presented him with a favourite rabbit, which he bade liiin to love and cherish. It was received as an assurance of approaching sanity ; and as the interview had been attended with the happiest results, it will rejoice those friends who so ardently espouSed his cause, to hear that he is now in a state of convalescence, and that there is every reason to believe that a few weeks will restore him to himself and to the world.( Salisbury Journal.) Yesterday morning the Duke and Duchess of CLAItENCE left their residence in Stable Yard, St. James's, for Bushey. Their Royal High nesses returned to town in the evening. The Duke of SUSSEX and the Duchess of GLoucusTEß lisited the Princess AUGUSTA yesterday. yester day the Princess AU•USTA took an airing in the Parks: GRAND ROWING MATCit FROM OXFORD TO LONDON IN SIXTEEN HOURS, FOR SIX HUNDRED GUINEAS. This Match, which has for some time created unexampled interest among the lovers of Acquatic sports, and'. upon the issue of which many thousand pounds were depend ing, was decided yesterday ;' and it is only justice to the Gen= denten, by whose skill, exertion, and manly, ,perseverance, the arduous task was accomplished, to say, that it was a feat never . equalled in the annals of Aquatic Sports,—The wager was laid by Sir JOHN BURGOYNE with Captain Sieben., for 600 guineas (and not for 1,000 guineas as erroneously stated). The terms of the match were these :—" That six Officers of the Third Regiment of Guards, belonging to Aquatic Clubs, should row in a six oared wherry, from Oxford to Weste minster-bridge, in 18 consecutive hours—the, time in the month of May, 1824." Captain Short, who knew the skill of the " Guard's Club," accepted the bet of the Honottrable'Baroner, and the Gentlemen that kindly off eed to aid him in Winning' his wager, were Captains Standen, Hudson, and Blanc ; and Lieutenants Douglass, and Westhenry, who, with himself; made tip the six rowers; It was agreed that the rowers should choose their own coxswain's, and thi,t time should be kePt by cheeks previously wound in London and Oxford. The boat in which the wager was to be contended foe, was built for the purpose, by Mr. Sullivan, of Millbank, altar the plan of the Marquis of Worcester's " - Fancy," a boat remarkable for its fleetness ; and it is no flattery to Mr. Sul i • • liven to say, that he turned out as pretty. a little thing as ever skimmed on the surface of Old Father Thames. This match arose out of an attempt made by Lord Newry about 16 months ago to perform the same feat, with six of his servants, in 17 hours. His Lordship lost his wager on that occasion with Sir John Burgoyne, by 50 minutes, though wind and weather were in his flavour, and not only Sir John, but most of the ' deep-onein" as well as the amateurs of the (aqua) " Fancy," and the members of the majority of the Aquatic Clubs, were ready to offer 3 to 1 against the accomplishment of the wager. A few days ago it was determined that yesterday should be the day for the decision of the w!tger, and application was made by Captain Short and hit friends to the Commissioners of the Locks between London and Oxford, for their assistance in clearing the bells and pans, end !applying plenty of water, as they passed through ; this was readily grant A, and by the ar rangements made by the Comneissioners, at least half an hour was gained by the rowers. No trifling interest was excited at Oxford by the match. On Tuesday morning the whole of the rowers had arrived at Oxford, and they all retired to bed at eight o'clock in the evening, and-gave orders to be called uP at two, intending to start precisely at three o'clock, from a place named, near Oxford BricigT!. By a quarter before three o'clock they were all attired in their aquatic club dresses, viz. narrow striped blue and ' white trowsere, broad striped jackets, straw hats, light shoes, and silk stockings. They took in a little w o w viler, sandwiches, &c. and at one minute past three o'clock yesterday morning their coxswain, Isaac King, gave the word " all's ready," and the rowers removed their oars from the perpendicular to the horizontal ; and amidst the cheers of great numbers of persons (even at that early hour) the wherry cleft the liquid stream 4 and bore away towards its thttinatint at the rate of above eight miles the hour. On the wherry arriving at Bolter's Lock, Maidenhead (half-way) it was half-past eleven o'clock— half an hour had been lost by the wind freshing to the cast, and the squally weather. At Bolter's Lock, James Carnnon, the second coxwain, was taken on board, and by •many " A long pull, a strong pull; and a pull altogether," the wherry. Was brought to Windsor-bridge by one o'clock. No time was lost, though every man on board was fatigued; they pushed on with a most determined resolution; and notwithstanding great' difficulties, owing to the unfavourable state of the weather, they arrived at Teddington Lock by half-past five o'clock. In Ted dington Lock they: refreshment, which was supplied by Mr. Topham, of the Talbot Inn, at Richmond, From Wind sor to Staines, a distance of eight miles, the rowers exerted themselves surprisingly, and they accomplished the distance in fifty minutes, and made a most gallant show. At Ted dington the spirits of the gallant crew were raised very much by the arrival of a number of their London friends in wherries, skiffs, &c. who chewed them loudly as they exerted Themselves to accomplish their object: Thomas Hill, the third coxswain, was taken on board at Tedding ton, and considering the wind was in their teeth, and the weather foul and contrary, they performed wonders. It waS half-past five when they left Teddington Lock, and on their arrival at Putney Bridge it was precisely six o'clock. At this moment the Thames presented an unusual scene of gaietye The river was covered with the members of the different aquatic clubs, in their uniforms. We observed " the Whit e h a ll," the Guards, the Emerald, the Eagle, the Frederick, the Corsair, and William Frederick Clubs, in their different boats. The Sovereign chewed lain prime style. There. were present many. ' Noblemen and Gentlemen of the first distinction. Front Ted . - ' dington to Westminster Bridge, twb 8-oared guard boats cleared the way thr the wherry, and but for the cheering of the spe.cta ' tore, which excited the liVeliest emulation amongst the rowers, • it is thought they would have sunk under the excessive exer- Oen, and have lost the wager. The umpire, Col. ;Myrick, took ' his station on Westminster Bridge at six o'clock. The cratt on the river, the bridges, stairs, and wharfs, front which there was a view of Whitehall-Stairs, the appointed landing-pl ace , were crowded with spect a t ors . Se ver al of the Bow-street patrol were placed at Whitehall-stairs, to preserve the peace, and to assist in the debarkation. At half-past six o'clock the wherry arrived at Battersea -bridge, the rowers completely . knocked up, some of them almost bent double; and all of them much distressed: The tide was now in their favour, and hay ' ing taken a little brandy, they appeared determined to conquer ' or die ; and at a quarter before seven o'clock they arrived. at ' Westminster-bridge amidst the acclamations of thousands of ' spectators. Mr. Sullivan, the boat-builder, . towed them to Whitehall-stairs, and on their arrival there they were assisted out of the boat, and carried on shore, anti put to b e d.—They • were all in a state of exhaustion, and one or two could not stand ' without support. They declared that they should have arrived ,• an hour sooner, if the wind had been in their favour. It is ' be lieved that not fewer than 15,0001. has changed owners by the event, of which sum Capt. Short has won 1,0001. SOme of the best judges (even the coxswains), -who knew every yard cf the ' river front Oxford to Westminster, were taken in, she current ° bets being 2to 1 against the performance of the match. The. ' distance from Oxford to Westminster Bridge is 118 miles, and was rowed in fifteen hours and three-quarters. MERCANTILF. SHIPPING.
