(Front the Baltimore Chronicle of the Bth April.) Air. CLAY seems disposed to try the question of 6 cknowledging the independence of South Ame rica, This be does by the motion to make pro vision for the outfit of the Minister which the President of the United States may deem it ne cessary to send to one or more of the Govern luents of South America. We presume that the time is not far distant when all the Powers of torop e will join in such an acknowledgment. THE SPANISH TREATY.-Tice House then again resolved itself into a Committee of the whole, Mr. TAVI.Ort in the Chair, on the Resolution sub rilitted by Mr_CLAY, respecting the Treaty-making Power, and particularly respecting the Treaty with Spain, yet unratified by Spain. Mr. Lowsos etthcluded his remarks, going to skew why the Desolution should not be acted upon. He spoke about half an hour. When Mr. Low NM finished, be moved to lay the first resolve on the table. We have been favoured with a letter from St. dated March 4th, 1820, of which the following is an extract : " Lieutenant PtGOT, of the Leveret, the Mas ►'er and Surgeon of the Rosagio, the Master of the Redwing, the Gunner of the Leveret. and the Carpenter of the Heron, are invalided home : our men are particularly healthy althoueh this !' the sickly season—indeed our sick list has been ver y small, when compared with the first Part of 1818 ; it was then between fifty and Sixty, and now front fourteen to eighteen : I sup pose they are pretty well seasoned by this time— at any rate they ought, for we have not inure than two thirds of our old hands on board the Con queror. I have every reason to believe the issue of soft breactio the seamen has done more good than any other thing, and particularly of late, when our supplies of fresh beef have been so uncertain. About a mouth since our people be fr o n to get rather sickly, and the lists increased very much, upon which the Doctor stated the case ' 0 the Admiral, and, as we were issuing all biscuit at time time, he suggested the feces- - sky of returning to soft bread. as he considered 4 6 much biscuit, with such a small propor tion of fresh meat, to be in a great measure the cause of the men getting ill. The Admiral imme diately ordered soft bread to be issued fonr days a week, and I assure you the change in the sick li st was seen i n less than.a week, and now, in "cad of increasing on board the ships of the tquadrort. they are decreasing daily."-,-(Plymouth' and Dock Telegraph, May 6.) „ ew Zr.

COURT or KING'S BIiNCI-Ii MAT• TUB KING V. HUNT AND OTHERS. This morning 'every avenue- leading to tbc Court was crowded by..persons of all descriptions, anxious to hear the decision of the Bench in this case, that has for so long occupied the public at tention. At half past ten the Judges took their seats, and immediately after Hunt, Bamford, Johnson, Ucaly, Btc.,entered the Court. Mr.-Dr-ALTRI' having called over their names, the CHIEF JUSTICIT, observed, that this case had ; occupied the time of the Court an unusual length o f rim e ; in giving,his judgment on it, he should be as brief as possible. The Learned Chief Jus tice then proceeded to advert to the various cir cumstances urged as grounds for the granting a rule to strew canse,why a new trial shouldnot take place: he took into his view the intention, the assembling, and the dispersion of the Meeting. • With respect to the banners not being produced, parole evi dence had been given in this case, and if was usual to receive it in similar ones.. With respect to the Meeting at - Smithfield, the paper .contain ing the Resolutions had been received front one of the defendants, and it corresponded with those Resolutions which were heard read by the witness at Manchester ; a stranger, not at all connected with the town, and who had taken tine Chair at a similar Meeting at Smithfield, in London, had been advertised to take a similar situation at Man chester ; could it therefore be supposed oiherwise, under all the circumstances, but that there was some connexion between the Meetings? With re spect to the soldiers, it was not their-conduct that was under enquiry, and it would have been impro per to have introduced them in evidence. lie pro ceeded to examine the law of evidence,'and con chided by declaring, tinaz, under all the 'circum stances, he saw uo reason for distur Laing the verdict already given. Mr. Justice l3AuLa'v here declared, he should wait until he heard what the other learned Judges said before he gave his opinion. Mr. Justice Hoer:cm) was precisely of the samo opinion as the Chief Mr, Justice BEST had never entertained a doubt from t he first, and therefore entirely concurred. Mr. Justice BAteav, at some length, went over the various points Of evidence, and declared that, as it was not the soldiers that were on trial, he could not permit them to be adverted to in evi. dence; if they had misconducted themselves, their conduct was open to Mph y, and it would have been prejudging them. With respect to the Les simony concerning :he Banners, it was consistent with the lae:s of evidence, which were founded i n w i s d o m, and all the other points were equally consistent. Thu Learned Judge could not sec any cause she,vn f,r disttirbin,g the verdict. The.ATTORNEV-GENERAL then rose, •sii,d said, he shank, if the Court pleased, move tor judg ment now, or, if it was more convenient for the defendants, and the Court consented, lie would wait a short time. HUNT hoped the Court would alkw the time usual iu such cases to prepare for their Lordships' judgment. Abet some desultory conversation be , ..ween the Court, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, and Dcleinfanis, it was agteed that it ihuttill stand ovcr utvil Sa turday or Monday next,. on one of which days sentence will be passed.

In consequence of an omission ie anAct of the late Parliament, there has m,t been any sittings for nearly four months ; the numbcr of Insolvents are ; therefore, immense. During the morning, a (-onside rahlt number th;:t, were not opposed sub. mitten ihentselves ti:e examination of the Court, and were discharged. It is expected the Sittiags will continue nearly a month). An Exet , r Paper coutains an advertisement cautioning the public against giving any credit to the wife of a tenisin individual because she has now eloped from him for " the nineteenth time, without the least provocation!" A melancholy accident occurred at Southamp ton on Thursday night last. Three soldiers got into a small boar, having two women with them, to go to the Magazine at Alarchwood ; when about half channel over, the boat, by'some ntis- Management, upset, when one of the soldiers and both the women were unfortnnately drowned.— The body of the soldier has since beets picked up, hut neither of the women. There is at the present time, in The summer. hone of W. PAIMICK, Esq. at Crisham, Hants, a , obin's nest, with five young birds ; the nest be. ing built in a paper bag, which carelessly stood on the table ; and more singular to say, the door being bolted and the windows closed, the bird has to descend the chimney, and make egress there. otn, to carry on her instinctive economy in rear ing her callow family. A CotonA's Inquest was held on Friday at Portsmouth, before Jastas GRIGG, Esq. one of the C , r:mers of the county, on the body of a woman ii,med Pratt, wife of a labourer residing at Dray. ten, who died suddenly from the effects of poison, which it is supposed she bad herself pat into some gruel in a fit of derangement, intending therewith to destroy herself, Whsband, and next-door neigh. hours, all of whom she induced to partake of the mixture, but providentially they did not take a sufficient quantity to accomplish the intention, but sough only to cause set lOUS indisposition.
