The Pre sident Boyer has caused four of the chiefs of the conspiracy to be shot ; but the exasperation has Only become the ino-..e violent amongst the Planters. As for the French part, Boyer bestows all his attention upon the culture of the lands.

The Congress of Mexico has proclaimed the new Constitution, _decreed the 31st January.

The Journal des Debuts says, that " the English Journals have become at length ridicu- rtes (101 ous with their French fleets which they Iv see- ng every where." If there has been any thing of the ridiculous, however, in the late pub lic agitation, it has involved some higher per sonages than the Dacits would probably select for the object of its satire. The English Gb- vernment, for example; considered the alleged . . movements of the French marine to be so iin• his crown, and perhape his life, would go with them, grew on a sudden wonderfully merciful, and not only issued the De cree, but wrote a" Royal Allocation" .to,it with his own hand. The Journal des Debats gives this as a proof of sincerity on his part, but that Journal ought to recollect that he gave the same proof of sincerity to the Cortes before he left Cadiz, when he wrote with his own hand a solemn promise to maintain the Constitution. pottant and alarming, as to justify them .in de- mantling explanations from the French Govern ment ;—and the Frsnch Government, on the other hand, eager, no doubt, to appear quite as The Chronicle of this morning contains the former notice, which probably explains the rumour mentioned by our Cit I , Correspondent yesterday, relative to the sailing of an expedition from the Havanna!' :-- ludicrous as its friends on this side of the Chan nel, took more pains to convince, not only the Cabinet of St. JAMES'S, but even private persons, of its pacific dispositions, than were ever evinced, perhaps, on any former political occasion ! The Journal des Debuts, therefore, if it must have a laugh at our expence, ought in fairness to include amongst the subjects of its merriment all the parties who have been so exquisitely hoaxed ! But we are not to be altogether laughed out of our opinions, any more than we are to be duped by the mere professions, however solemn, of French Journalists or Statesmen. Those who --- . We have seen a private letter from liavannah to a house of the first respectability in the City, from which the following is an extract:—" HAv ANN All, A iti 7.--T wo Colombian corvettes have taken the Spanish frigate Ceres ; in consequence of which four King's ships have been dispatched against them ; and in order that the Colombian Government may know nothing of this measure, a general embargo has been laid on all vessels here." The second reading of the Earl of LAUDER DALE'S Bill for removing the Spitalfields' Restrictions on the Silk Trade, was,carried last tight by a majority of 23 to 8. There was no debate, and scarcely any discussion. The Earl of WESTMORLAND recommended a postponement to another year. There was a large crowd of operative silk-weavers in Old Palace-yard, whose appearance, thickly covered with um brellas, was sufficiently striking. Either through mistake, or very culpable waggery, they were told that the Bill was lost, and they cordially cheered every Peer as he left the House. ,011.1) B YttON.—We yesterday recorded the melancholy event of the death of this Nobleman. It is a needless task to enter into any eulogiuna on his extraordinary' poetical genius, as it is ac kndwledged by the world at large. He possess ed high intellectual powers, and they had received all the advantage which could be derived from extensive and various knowledge. He was not only profoundly conversant with classical erudi tion, but well acquainted with all the living languages of Europe, and also with ancient and modern Greece. If his Muse was appa rently too much inclined to Satire, it must be owned that he was originally provoked by shallow and venomous criticism, and his tem per soured by the attacks of political hostility, but he was capable of producing works of subli mity and tenderness, and altogether, in fertility as well as vigour, may be classed with sonic of the best poets which this country has produced.— In private life he has manifested warm friendship, diffusive liberality, and zeal to protect talents properly directed, as well as to defend him self from that rancour with which envy and party spirit too often assailed him. We have no right to enter into his private transactions, but as his domestic conduct has been misrepre sented, and bitterly condemned, we deem it proper to notice a fact on which 'we are disposed to rely, and which will chew that the separation between him and his estimable Lady did not ori ginate iu himself. We have been assured, that when they last parted a perfect amity prevailed between them. Lady ByttoN left him to visit her parental roof, upon his promise that he would speedily rejoin her, and we are assured that every day during her absence, she wrote to him the most affectionate letters, pressing for his presence. — It was, therefore, determined between him and a most respectable Gentleman, allied to • the fa mily, that they should together leave London on the following Tuesday, but on the Saturday Lord 1 BYRON received a letter, proltilliting his intended visit, and intimating, not from herself, that his Lady should not be permitted to join him any more. Whether his lofty spirit declined to ins quire the reason of this prohibition we have not heard, but we have been assured that some rela tions and friends of the fa m ily in vain attempted to have the prohibition annulled. This circurn stanCe must remove the prejudices which have been raised against the BYRON, and domestic conduct of Lord we may be permitted in his favour to female wh om h e su sp e cted to have & (i observe re s s ed t a t h t a h t e alienated the affections of his wife, if his sus. pillion was well-feunth.d, must certainly be con sidered as a well-merited infliction. In proof of the respect in which Lord BYRON held his amia ble and accomplished Consort when they were together, we shall cite a passage in a letter now before us, in his own hand-writing. • It• wa s .written in consequence of an attack upon himself in a newspaper, but which also ap peared to contain a reflection on his Lady._ His Lordship's word's on the occasion, which we faithfully copy are " It is a long time since things of this kind have ceased to fright me from my propriety ;" nor do .1 know any similar attack which would induce me to turn again, unless it involved those connected with me, whose qualities,. I hope, are suc h as to exempt them even in the eyes of those who bear no good w ill t o m ysid.—ln such a case, supposing it to oc cur, to reverse the saying of Dr.ionstsoN, " what the law could not do for me I would do for myself, be the consequences what they might." Such were the sentiments of respect and affection which Lord BYRON felt for his Lady before their anti cable but final separation, and as it is impossi- The Paris Papers of Thursday have brought ble that she could have deserved to forfeit theist, we owe it to the character of the Lady and to the FERDINAND'S Decree of General Amnesty. This general amnesty however, contains amongst others the following ex- memory of his Lordship to submit them to the , the melancholy sub- Lean: tribute to ceptions :—The heads of the military insurrection in the Isle of public.

We confess with regret that we were amongst the number of those who were duped by these solemn declarations and professions. if ever we deserved to be laughed at, it was for our credulity on that occasion, and for being so weak as to calculate on the moderation and sincerity of a Government which appeared to hue the best reasons in the world for being moderate and sincere. The Journal des Dibats may rest assured, however, that we are not at all likely to commit this folly a second time, and that it lust be content in future to make merry, not at our credulity, but, as on the present occasion, at what it is pleased to consider the excess, of our vigilance, and the intensity of our suspicions. It may be that the French Government has no present intention to commit any act of open hostility. We are quite sure that it is its interest to remain at peace. The degree of reliance which we place upon its pa cific dispositions, results from this list consi deration, and not from its declarations ; and we shall always, as we do now, draw our inferences not from what it says, but from what it does. In the mean time, it ,would appear from the subjoined letter from Paris, inserted in the Chro nick of this day, that there are in Paris as well as in London many persons who do not believe every thing that the Journal des Detbats chooses to say - , and who are so very ridiculous as still to imagine that France is resolved to make an at tack on the Brazils ! " PARIS, MAY 11, 1024. " A partial change in the Ministry is hourly expected, but it will have no influence on the conduct of the Cabinet. It is a sort Of family arrangement, rather than a disposseSsion. It is settled that the Duke of Doudeauville, Director-General of the Post Office, is to succeed M. de Clermont Tonnere, as Mini ster of Marine, and M. Sosthene de la Itochefoucault is to be promoted to the dignity of Minister of the Thing's Household, which Marshal Lauriston will give up. The services he has rendered to the present Ministry in buying up the ultra Jour nals, the influence of which M. de Villele dreaded, cannot be properly rewardedat a less price. Marshal L. is inconsolable. The supreme direction of the Opera was so delightful to !Min i that it is supposed an eighth Minister, under the title of DirectoNGeneral of the Theatres, will he appointed in order to indemnify him for his loss. The exaltation of M. Sosthene de la Rochefoucault to the office of Minister of the Household, has recalled to recollection a specimen of skill in this great Statesman. As a Member of the Chamber of Deputies in 1816 1 wishing to support some opinion of his by an historical quota tion, he made Charles IX., the father' of Henry 111., and' Henry 111. the father of Henry IV. The Chamber not having appreciated this new mode of correcting the history of France, admonished M. Sosthene, who demonstrated that it was of very little consequence *hat Kings were . brothers, fathers, or cousins; in consequence of this the name of Demosthenes was conferred on . him by the general voice, and all Paris now regrets that he was not, in place of making him Minister of the King's Household, promoted to be Chief Historiographer of France. " Some new regiments have been sent to Brest to he embarked there. Notwithstanding the ,fallacious assertions of the Mini ster, unequivocal symptoms announce the speedy commencement of hostilities against Brazils ; and even the success of this en terprise is spoken of openly in all the saloons of the Paubourgh Saint Germain."'

Mr. ST ITART .. Mr. WILLS - - - 22 Majority for Mr. STUART SARCOPHAGUS.—This celebrated relique of an tiquity, which is supposed to be the oldest specimen of aft extant, was on Wednesday last conveyed from the British Museum to the house of Mr. SOANE, the purchaser, anti safely deposited in a place which he had prepared for its reception.— On account of its magnitude it was necessary to make a wide opening in the back of his house. It is the largest piece of alabaster in the world, and in that respect has been valued at 3,0001. It was bought, among other rarities, of Messrs. SALT and BELZONI, by the Trustees of the British Museum, for 5,0001. The other remains of antiquity were retained by the Trustees, who of course will have to pay to Mr. SALT and the heirs of BELzoNi 3,0001. It is indeed surprising that the Trustees did not retain the Sarcophagus among our national treasures, particularly as it is well known that Foreign Courts wished to possesi it ; and therefore it rAust be highly gratify ing to find that it is secured to us by the liberality of our patriotic countryman. In the Gazette of this evening the followin4 will be published as the average prices of grain and pulse, for the regulation of the importation of foreign corn in the week ending on the Bth of May, 1814 :—Wheat, 635. 3d.; Rye, 395. 7d. ; Barley, 345.

Noel, Esq. and several persons of distinction.. . . . At a little . a?; - .ei six o'clock, J. RETNER, Esq. was voted to he Chair. The Rev. --:—. M./Lamle commenced the proceedings of the Meeting by offering an extempore prayer.. Mr. W. JONES read the 25th Report of the proceedings of he Society, which exhibited a flattering account of its opera., ions in. China, Malacca, &c ; by which it appeared that during he three years preceeding May, 1823, 102,150 tracts had been circulated in the Chinese languagt - , and 3,500 - in the Malay, which had been printed at the experce of the society. The Report went on to detail the communications received from divers missionaries and correspondents, by which it appeared that the ramifications of the Society extended to the Isles of the Eastern Archipelago, Hindostan, Ceylon, Calcutta, Madras, Serampore, Bencoolen, and other important stations in the East Indies : anit it was stated that during the past year the Society had granted to Eastern nations seven hundred pounds from their funds. In New South ''%Vales his Excellency. the Governor, Sir Thos. Brisbane, and the Government of Van Die man's Land, had countenanced the Society, and signified their intention to give every facility to the circulation of - their publi cations throughout the respective colonies. The Report con tained also the most favourable accounts W . the prngress made in the Western Hemisphere; and, indeed, throughput the whole Continent of Europe. The Report of the domestic proceedings was also of the most pleasing description. Rev. Dr. AI onisox, of Canton, rose to propose that the Report read be received,' adopted, and printed. 'the Rev. Divinestated that he had been nearly twenty years in the East, during the grester part of which time he had immured in his room, trans t ne the Bible, the tracts of this Society, and other works into the Chinese language. He Was glad of the opportunity of stating Ihe impressions onhis Mind, and the resu 1 t of mature d el if: eration rlative to this Sciciety. His firm conviction was, that the dis.. r hation of religioxs tracts was in, many respect's preferable to t he preaching of a Missionary.—(Hear, hear !) t The Rev. MARK WIEKS, from Paris, seconded the motion. IL: gave an animated account of the progress made by the exer tions of the Society in France. The Rev. S. Curwen, the Minister of Barbican Chapel; A.
