The Spanish prisoners of war are at length Passing the frontier on their return to their much abused and unfortunate country, which will afford to these brave men, we fear, but an inhos pitable reception. Many of them will probably join the guerilla bands which are wandering about in search of rallying points, and of a leader capable of making another effort for the salvation of the Peninsula, by organizing and directing the elements of resistance to the foreign oppression and domestic despotism by which Sp a i n i s oversha dowed. The contents of these papers are not otherwise interesting. We subjoin the only ar ticles worth translating : (From the Journal de Paris of Saturday. ) PERPIGNAN, APRIL 7.—The first column of Spanish prisoners of war, about 200 men, arrived to-day; they will set off to-morrow for Spain. Other columns, of about the same number, will arrive in two days, and, conformably to the order of the Minister of War, the Officers of the same nation will also take the same route for their native country. [From the Drapea3 Blanc.] LINTZ, APRIL 7.—Prince Metternich accom- Panics the Emperor to Prague. We do not as yet know if his Majesty will go to Berlin, to be present at an important negociatiou. Baron de Xrieglstein, our Minister at the Court of Por tugal, has sent to our Court a declaration of the Cabinet of Lisbon, relative to the affairs of the Brazils. Oer Court, notwithstanding the interest it takes ia the Prince Royal and his august wife, daughter of our Emperor, is decided not to ac knowledge in any shape the independence of the Brazils, and will pursue the system adopted by the great Powers forming the Holy Alliance. Nl.tortin, APRIL 10.—Ferdinand VII. has ap- Pointed Don Simon Antonio Rentesia, Bishop of Lerida, and Don Rafael Velez, Bishop of Ceuta. (Prom the Journal du Commerce of Saturday.) It is announced that General Rivaud has re fused to take the command of the Army of OcCu pation in Spain. It is also, stated that Viscount Digeon will re Mouto n place Bourmont, and that Marshal sill command, at Cadiz, the second br igade of the Army of occupation. It is Gene ral Desperamons who at this moment commands at Madrid. It appears that the Spanish Government has not thought it sufficient for one Agent of Finance to go to Paris, and has therefore sent M. Burgos, `whose principal mission is to examine what means of credit the Spanish Government can obtain there. ( From the Journal des flobats of Saturday.)

In our preceding columns we have given co pious extracts from various foreign journals, re ceived since our last. Advices from Constan tinople of the 10th ult. pretend to clear up all the reports respecting the alleged revolt of the Pacha of EGYPT ; but although from the want of confirmation the accuracy of the rumours has now become very doubtful, yet the Constantinople intelligence is far from proving that they were , destitute of foundation. On the other hand, accounts from Ancona, of the 4th instant, assert that the city of Lepanto was actually captured by the Greeks on the 13th ult.

In all other Foreign Securities nothing doing ; there fore the prices may be quoted as on Saturday. Tl►e letters of " AN IRISH LANDLORD," on the policy of encouraging the growth of British Wool, and of permitting its free exportation, the first of which appeared in THE SUN of the 13th March, and the second a few days afterwards, have, we perceive, together with our remarks on the first letter, been reprinted in the form of a pamphlet at Bristol. We now once more advert to the subject, for the purpose merely of guard ing against its being inferred that the argu ments of the 4 ' Inisit LANDLORD," (forcible and ingenious as we admit them to be), have con viaced us that the exportation of the peculiar Wool of this country would not be deeply in jurious to our manufactures. Besides, the chief question which occupied our attention • at the time when the " hum LANDLORD" favoured us with his communications, was. the great and important conflict for ascendancy between the advocates for the general principle of free trade, and the less speculative supporters of the principle that the direct agency of wise and beneficent legislation is necessary to the promotion and protection of the best interests of society, Th e " IRISH LANDLORD," though he differs from us on the insulated proposition for permitting the exportation of long wool, clearly concurs with, us on the general principle; for he asks, at the close of his second letter, whether the giving of a bounty to encourage the growing of wool in Great Britain and Ireland, and the drawing back from the exporter the amount of that bounty, would not be a benficial measure?" It is thus evident, as we stated in our brief ob servations on his first letter, that with reference to that branch of industry, with the real and practical condition of which he is best acquaint ed, the 66 IRISH LANDLORD" is, like ourselves, decidedly favourable to the principle of legislative encouragement and regulation, as opposed to the principle of free trade, or of leaving things in the fashionable parlance, to find their level, by the operation of what are called" natural causes."— There is, therefore, no essential difference be tween us. Mr. HILL, the King's Messenger, who arrived at the Foreign Offi:e, Downing-street, on Thurs day, with dispatches from the Right lion. Sir HENRY \% ELLES LEY, our Ambassador at Vienna, also brought dispatches from Lord Viscount STRANGFORD, our Ambassador at Constantinople, to which considerable importance was attached. The Noble Viscount had not a King's Messenger in attendance upon him at Constantinople, and in consequence sent his dispatches to Vienna, with directions for them to be forwarded, with all convenient speed, to the British Government.— HILL, who was in attendance upon Sir HEN itT WELLESLEY, was sent off by his Excel. lency without loss of time ; and the messenger pursued his journey with all possible speed. Yesterday being Easter Sunday, the Princess FEonon was confirmed at the King's German Chapel, agree ably to the custom of her Royal Highness's native country._ The religious ceremony was performed by the Reverend Dr. KupEn. The Duchess of KENT, the Princess's Royal Mo ther, Prince LEOPOLD, the Duchess of CLARENCE, and the Princess AUGUSTA, were present. Dr. KUPER preached an ' appropriate and excellent sermon. The Princess AuGusTA was attended by Count MuNsTEn. • The Duchess of CLARENCE is on a visit to the Duchess of KENT. Yesterday the Duchess of GLOUCESTER and the Princess SOPHIA visited the Princess AUGUSTA. Saturday Mr. Secretary CANNING transacted business at the Foreign Office. Yesterday morning, at half-past seven o'clock, the Duke of YORK left town for Newmarket. Saturday evening Prince L EOPOLD came to town from Claremont. His Royal Highness dined with the Duchess of KENT at the King's Palace Kensington. Yesterday Divine Service was performed by the Rev. Dr. BLOMBERG, to the King's Household at his MAJESTY'S Palace, Pall-mall. , The Duke of GLOUCESTER, we are happy to say, was a little better yesterday. The Medical Gentlemen who attended the Earl of LIVL'►;POOL during his indisposition, have advised his drinking die Bath waters for at least a fortnight. AUSTRIAN LOAN NEGOCIATED BY Mr. N. M.

PERU. ( From the Hampshire Telrgraph. The following is an extract from a letter from our Correspondent at Callao. The sentiments of the letter are those of a Naval Officer employed on the station : ". CALLAO, DE c. 12, 1823.-1 send this by a mere chance opportunity—a vessel bound to Rio ; and as there is nothing new here of importance, 1 shall only give you a few hasty lines, just as the thoughts occur to my mind. Of all the dif ferent persons, during the protracted struggle for independ ence that have been placed at the head of the Government of Peru, his Excellency General Bolivar is generally ac knowledged to be the best calculated to conduct the affiiirs of the Republic. There is a boldness in all his measures, and an in tegrity of conduct in his proceedings, that cannot fail to subdue party feelings and prejudices, and perfectly to unite the Peru vians of every class and description. Indeed, I have every reason to hope he will prove to be the deliverer of the Peruvian empire, by ultimately establishing its independence upon a firm, wise, and liberal basis. The Government of the Repub lic.is yet in a very imperfect, and, I am sorry to add, impure state. However, upon the whole, affairs begin to assume a con sistency that will soon give them a very favourable aspect, and especially since the discovery of Riva Aguera's delinquency.— We understand that lie has many adherents at Lima, who are firmly attached to hint, as well as partisans in other parts of Peru ; but there is no apprehension that ha will be able to do further mischief. -eta late disaffection will undoubt e dl y b e the war to a period beyond th at i n w h h e ie c h a s n i g nce it was hoped it would terminate.— the a o fe f w p w ro e t e r k ac s ti There are many persons even now, who vainly expect that the Spaniards will again gain the ascendency; but I am persuaded that the time is not very remote when Peru will be completely emancipated, and Great Britain will find it expedient to recog nize the country as independents, in order to secure its com mercial privileges. . " It is confidently reported, that Admiral Guise (formerly a commander in the British service), who lately sailed from Africa with an expedition, had an intention of supporting the cause of ltiva Aguera; but I presume that lie must now abandon every hope. of assisting that General in accomplishing his designs.— That Admiral has declared the coast from- 8 deg. to 28 deg. south, to be i n a state o f bl oc k a d e. Bolivar and his forces are on their march from Truvillo; and Lima is, in consequence, considered to be safe from any incursions that the Royalists may be disposed to make on it, although some time must elapse before his Excellency can bring his troops up. It is likely that the ensuing year will. be the most eventful crisis during the whole revolution ; for Bolivar seems deter- mined to surmount the common obstructions that have usually impeded the operations of die army. The late Supreme Direc tor of Chili, O'Higgins, is residing in the city of Lima; and I understand that he still retains the rank of Captain-General of Peru, as well as that of Chili. The General speaks the English language tolerably well, and possesses all the manners and ideas of an Englishman. San Martin resides at Mendoza ; but we seldom hear any thing of him. I should have men tioned, that it is not improbable that O'Higgins may be again called to the head of the Government of Chili ; but I have heard him declare that he would accept of no other authority than one in a military capacity ; and on the termination of the contest, he would then retire to private life. " The Blossom 28, Captain M'Lean, left this on the Ist inst. for Valparaiso, Rio, and England. She had upwards of two millions of dollars on board when she sailed from Callao, and it is expected she will get a considerable quantity at Val, paraiso. The Tartar, 46, Captain 'l'. Brown (senior officer in the Pacific), is lying at this place. The Aurora, 46, Capt. H. Prescott, is at San Bias : she will not leave the Pacific before the end- of July next. The Fly, 18, Captain Martin, is stationed at Valparaiso, as it is constantly necessary for a vessel of war to he there as well as here, to protect the com mercial interests." IRELAND. BURNING OF THE SHEAS. There is reason to hope that the dreadful ca sualty which betel this unfortunate family was accidental.— The following account of the execution for the murder of three men, who were strongly suspected of being parties in the de struction of the Sheas, is copied from the' Leinster Journal of Saturday :--. " Roth the Kellys, as well as Callinan, who w e re execu t e d at Kilmery last week for fhe murder of Martin Quan, denied all knowledge of, or participation in, any conspiracy to murder the Sheas. This solemn denial. of penitents on the brink of eternity, and who were strongly suspected of being the leaders in such supposed conspiracy, connected with other cireuni stances, has given rise to the opinion that the lire which con sumed that the poor people i n press ingcarest from succeeding i n open ing t e o d the e e it; and that they were Sp ee dil y su ff ocate d b y the burning thatch. For the sake of humanity, we trust this opinio n i s we ll door Slwa prevented n a t e e c dt t I n ; founded, but, if true, the secret must remain for ever hidden from man." To the above observation we have only to add, that it ap peared on the Inquest, that the door had been strongly secured ; the key was not in it, but was found on the floor ; and the re mains of all the wretched inmates were in a cluster about it._ (Cork Mercantile Chronicle April Li.)

Mr. Serjeant GOOLD, with much force and eloquence, fol lowed in mitigation of damages. His Lomistitr with his usual precision, charged the Jury, who retired for about an hour and returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 4001. and 6d. costs.

The service was performed by the Rev. C. Sumner, his Majesty's Private Chaplain. The Easter Ball, at the Town Hall to-morrow evening, it is expected, will be numerously and fashionably attended. This afternoon the band of the Royal Horse Guards and the 75th Regiment were stationed at the south side of the terrace immediately under the suite of rooms occupied by his Majesty,. and the fin eness o f th e clay attracted the l a rgest assemblage - ,of rankc and fashion we have witnessed for some time. This evening his Majesty will have a large party at dinner. Although the weather .has been unfavourable, Windior has received its share of holiday sitors. The inns are filling very fast, and we have no doubt but the town will be very gay this season. Lord Lowther left the.,Castle this morning for London. - FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

SARCONIAQUS, • . - The - memorable Sititcoett,t6t74 s ptiA -of the finest and most perfect remains of remote antiquity, which has long been deposited in the British Museum, has, we find, at length been purchased by JOHN SOANE, Esq.—lt was thought that it would have been purchased. by the Trustees ' of that Institution at the price of 2,0001., the, sum required by the Proprietor, Mr. SALT, who is now on his travels, but who had left an agent in this country with authority to dis= pose of it. Mr. SOANE, it seems, bad long been desirous of possessing this celebrated relique, but from motives of deli cacy did not express his wish 'till he heard that it was doubtful whether or not the Trustees would purchase it, and, pending the uncertainty, he signified his desire that he might be per mitted.to have the refusal in case the Trustees finally declined the purchase. It appears that the Trustees have at length de pos cli se r s ie so d i. th o e f o ti ff li e s r, in a e n s d th tima a b t l no r w ar it it l y r . . So o A n N e E tI of t l h e fortunate e reasons, we understand, which induced Mr. SOANE to purchase -this extraordinary work, besides the . pleasure l of possess ing it, was -to prevent it from being removed from this country, as it was rumoured that Agents from -the: French and Bavarian Courts were here watching the, event, with . , the hope to secure .i t f or th e i r re s pective .Go vernments ._ • It is well known that various conjectures have prevailed respect. ing the original purpose of this Sarcophagus. Ily some it was considered as having contained the body of Alexander the Great ; but the general opinion of the most learned and enlight ened judges at present is that it contained the remains' of Psam rneticus, one of the most ancient of Egyptian Monarchs. After all, it would by no means be extraordinary if we,Werc still to lose this valuable relique ; for during the time that the- Foreign Potentates were in London, they visited all the Public Build ings, and the Emperor of RUSSIA was so struck with the works of Mr. SOANE, at the Bank, that he was ordered to attend his IMPERIAL MAJESTY, and to submit .to his inspection drawings of the plans, &c. of that and other works of that architect. Mr. SOANE consequently waited on the Russian Monarch, and tools with him a considerable iminber of draw ings of his several works, which his MAJEsTy 'accepted in so gracious a manner as to leave &very strong_ impression on the mind of Mr. SOANE, and to induce him to be anxious for any opportunity of testifying his respect and veneration for that august Sovereign, for th e a t tent i on w hi c h hi s M AJESTY has; ahewn to the Fine Arts, 'particularly that of architecture._ ( Morning Post.) . . . SOCIETY OF BRITISH ARTISTS, SUFFOLK-STREET, PALL-MALL, . We noticed the • inaugura tory Dinner whlich took place in honour of this new Institution,..and then gave a general description of the nature and . positions of the several rooms. On Saturday last we had a private view of the yarious productions which those rooms contain. Several new Artists have come forward, who already display considerable merit, and promise much greater in due time. We, •see nothing in vidious in this new Institution, but rather an' opening for talents to expand themselv es , andi consequently a 'general ini provement of the- Fine Arts, and also of the national taste. We have not room to detail the. merits of the whole range of rooms, and will . not make invidious selections. We` ought not, however, to pass over the names of Glover, 11e4hy, Haydon, Linton, Martin, Hoffland, Hawkins, Nastnyth, Land seer, Cosse, and Londsdale, whose respective-woiks are highly creditable to their talents. The room allotted to engravings also manifests such skill as cannot be excelled in any country. Among these are some exquisite productions of Charles Heath, Scriven, Reynolds, Meyer, &C. The South-West Room, assigned to Architecture, Drawings, Miniatures, and Enamels, also testify the merits of the several Artists,- and the North-East Room affords admirable specimens of Sculpture. We shall. take fu ture occasions to bring into notice some of . the works of most distinguished merit, and in the mean time we heartily wish success to the general body •f Artists who have em barked in this establishment, and sincerely hope that the patronage of the Public will enable them to display their ta lents with profit as well as honour.
