EXPRESS FROM MADRID AND PARIS. We have this morning received accounts from Madrid via Paris, by Express the whole way, `announcing that intelligence had been received In the Spanish Capital of a revolution having lit'en effected in Mexico. We believe, how. ever, that we may take upon ourselves to 34 Y, that the intelligence received at Madrid front Mexico is not of a later date than that Previously received in this country. CITY, HALr-PAST ON'E O'CLOCK. South American Securities continue to fall. Mexican has this day been done at 3 dis- count. Orders have been received from one great holder of South American Securities to sell to the extent of four hundred thousand Pounds ; but though heavy sales have been effected, there are still many more sellers than buye rs . Even at the present prices of these Securities, however, they still afford a re muneration to the Contractors; for there is a Juggle in the bringing out of these securities of Which the Public ought to be fully aware, and which we shall furnish you with the Bans of fully exposing to-morrow. The certainty that our Government will not re cognize any of the new States, and that an expedition will assuredly sail from Spain, to gether with the knowledge that corruption has been most actively at work with the leading characters, must, however, create a panic of which all that has as yet taken place are only the first symptoms. We are in hourly expectation of most import ant intelligence from the Continent, as to the feel ings which exist respecting South America in the Great Cabinets, and which we fear will preclude all possibility of a recognition on the part of this country for a long period. I n th e present critical situation of the new States, it would of course be extreme rashness to hazard the peace of Europe for the sake of the very precarious advantages to be derived from committing any great European Power in the cause of their independence. We have received the Paris Papers of Satur day, and the Eloile of Sunday. Their contents are unimportant, being chiefly filled with the debates of the two Chambers. On Saturday the Report of the Committee on the Septennial Elec tion Law was presented to the Chamber of De puties by M. DE MARTIGNAC. The Reporter went over the common arguments in favour of the continuance of the Legislative Body ; and particularly dwelt on the example of lingland. " If (said he) this continuance for seven years is necessary to a people grown old in the habits of its institutions, how much more so must it be to us, who, agitated, tome in pieces, for so many years, are only just beginning to respire, and to feel the repose and the true liberty which have been obtained by the Restoration." The Com mittee proposed the adoption of the law ; and the Reporter descended from the tribune amid murmurs of approbation. The Emperor and Empress of AUSTRIA arrived at Prague on the 3t h instant. It may be remembered that their intention to visit the Bohemian capital this sum mer was announced about two mouths ago in THE SUN. Their Imperial Majesties had not been at Prague before for four years ; they are accom panied by several Princes and Princesses of the Imperial House ; and it is believed that their stay will be of some duration. By the subjoined extract of a letter from Ma drid, of the 17th instant, from a well-informed person, it will be seen that the obstinate hostility of Spain towards South America does not confine itself to idle menaces, as too many persons in this country have been so apt to flatter themselves : " 31ADnin, MAY 17.—There now remains no doubt of the fitting out of a considerable expedition destined to South Ame rica ; 10,000 men are the number to be sent. Nobody gets paid at the Treasury ; the money that enters is kept there for the purposes of the expedition. The numerous claimants, as may naturally be supposed, are not pleased at being turned back ; and such was the frenzy of the crowds that assembled there last week, that a serious disturbance was expected. Pro posals for furnishing the necessary transports have been made by an individual, who has rendered himself sufficiently con spicuous by his offers of services, both to the Constitutional Government and to this, and by his treaties of loans and con tract for a guard of Irishmen." German Papers were received last night. The following are extracts from the Algenteinc Zeitung " CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 25.—The fleet sailed from the Dardanelles on the 23d, after the Capitan Pacha had been visited on board his Admiral's ship by all the Ministers. It is believed that it will proceed towards Ipsara. It has on board 3,000 Janisaries, who offered themselves for the sea service" ( From another Correspondent.)—" The fleet has at length sailed with 4,000 Janisaries, and was accompanied for a con siderable distance by the Sultan, wbo caused a present of 100 purses, and many valuable articles, to be delivered to the Capi tan Pacha. Since the sailing of the fleet many Janisaries offer their services to the Porte, great hopes being entertained of mak ing rich booty in the approaching campaign against the Greeks. From the 3lorea we hear nothing but disputei. The Senate has summoned Colocotroni to surrender himself, and to deliver up the fortresses of Napoli di Romania and Tripolizza, but he has positively refused. The troops that were besieging Patras have withdrawn, because they had quarrelled about the division of some booty they had made, on which the Turks sailed from Lepanto with 14 ships to Missolonghi, and blockaded that place. But it is reported that the Greeks there have succeeded in burning some small Turkish vessels." Jamaica Papers to the 28th of March arrived yesterday. A nest of pirates has been discovered by the British ships of war on the Jamaica sta tion in the Isle of Pines. Two or three small vessels had been found in the river Santa Fe, and in the attempt to capture them the English force was so small that it was unsuccessful, and Lieut. LAYTON, Mr. STRODE, and four seamen, are said to have fallen a sacrifice. A party of 100 men had been detached up the river in boats, to cap ture and destroy the banditti. The force afloat for this expedition, in boats and schooners, con sisted of between 300 and 400 men. A letter from Jamaica of the 25th mentions that salutes had been interchanged for the first time between the English Admiral and the Commander of a Colombian frigate. A detatclunent of Colom bian troops had sailed from Carthagena to co operate with the army in Peru. They were to be landed at Porto Bello, and marched across the Isthmus to Panama. The letters received in Jamaica from Carthagena speak favourably of the commercial prospects at that place, which were rapidly improving. The Game Bill, introduced by Mr. STUART WORTLEY, was lost, for the present Session, last night, by a majority of 17, 103 voting, on a di vision, in favour of it, and 120 against. Mr. STUART WORTLEY, on the result being known, declared his intention of renewing the proposition the first thing next Session. The conduct of Mr. C•rixtria, and of the Go vernment, towards the unfortunate Spanish refu gees who have sought an asylum in this country, is above all praise. Pure benevolence and the most generous feelings, unmixed wholly with party spirit or politics, have influenced the Mi nister in this act of charity and humanity ; and we are happy to state that funds have been placed at the disposal of the Duke of WELLINGTON to afford relief to these unhappy exiles, three hun dred of whom receive a weekly stipend through Sir PHILIP Rocisa, whom his Grace has directed to carry the wishes of Government into effect.— It may be easily conceived that the warmest effusions of gratitude are expressed by these dis stressed people for this unexpected bounty of the British Government. The Duke of CLARENCE visited that wonderful work of art, the Breakwater, in Plymouth Sound, on Saturday last. He then proceeded to Devon port Harbour, where he went on board Admiral Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ'S flag-ship, the Britannia.— On landing, his Royal Highness was received with three hearty cheers by an immense multi tude of spectators. After reviewing the Royal Marine Forces on the Government Parade, he dined at the mess of the corps, in Stonehouse Barracks. THE RING. IVINDson, MAY 31.—This afternoon, at half-past one, his Majesty left the Palace in his pony phaeton, and drove through the Little Park and by Trogn ioTe to the Royal Lodge; the King was followed in a second phaeton by Sir E. Nagle and his usual a tt e ndants on horseback. Hi s M a j esty , a fter taking refreshments and his usual drives about the grounds, will re turn to the Castle to dinner. % .' v....,,„... .. ,p,, ...„. fi j oi ''''' ~ k s . • . 4 - ''t -1 ."- • ~ol ) rapKV • i l ' i rt; -' 4 1«, .‘, ~,,a I - ,- -t 4 '•`• K i A ,,,. .

" Sir lionr•.n•r FAILQUIIAIt.—We hear that this Gentleman has been declared by the Attorney-General to be eligible by law to a seat in the Direction, and by Mr. Sergeant Bosanquet to be ineligible. This is one of the advantages of a system of law in which the sense is perpetually obscured by the multipli city of words. The authority of the last legal Gentleman is, however, in higher esteem with the East India Proprietors than that of the Crown-Officer ; and it is therefore probable, we should think, that Sir Robert will not persevere, till he has resided the prescribed term of two years in England,—or that, if he perseveres before this, he will risk a failure. " Mr. CHARLES BrtLER.—To the list of Candidates for the Direction, already including nine or ten individuals, we hear that 31r. Charles Buller, lately one of the Board of Com missioners for the Interior, on the Bengal Civil Service, will be added : and it is believed that the legitimate influence of his fascinating and accomplished lady will produce a powerful rivalry in that personal solicitation for votes, which has often before been engaged in by some of the fairest and most exalted women in England, and to which few of the other candidates can, perhaps, oppose an equally powerful charm. " Mr. JAMES STUART.—This Gentleman, late a Member of Council in Bengal, has been r eturned a Member of Parlia ment for the borough of Huntingdon, on the ground of his being well acquainted with India. and connected with the house of Hinchinbrook. We doubt, however, whether Mr. Stuart's knowledge of India was the real cause of his return for the borough named ; the family-connexion was, no doubt, the strongest recommendation. It remains to be seen whether he will give the Parliament of the country the benefit of his Indian information—we sincerely hope he may. " DEBATE IN THE Commoxs.—On the 25th May, when the debate on the Indian Press, and Petition presented to the Commons, took place, the House was e:;tremely full, as much so as it has been observed on any question discussed in the pre sent session. The attendance of strangers was also very nu merous. Nearly th e w h a l e o f the East I n dia Directors were present, either in th e b o d y of the House, or on the cross benches under the gallery. The Ladies of some of t h ese , and of other Gentlemen c o n nected with India, were in th e apart ment above, where only th ey are permitted to be. Some of the candidates for the Directi on, as well as Officers of the Com pany's service, were also Present; and great interest was evi dently felt by all in the issue of the debate. The absence of all denial or argument on th e Part of the Board of Controul, of Ministers, and of the Directors, left the facts and opinions of the Petition entirely unanswered ; and the impression created by the statements it disclosed was evinced in every part of the House, by the alternate e.:2r ess i ons of which these called forth. surprise and indignation " ORIENTAL pLUD,.:—This new institution proceeds rapidly towards completion. here are already, we hear, more than 500 members entered, and the number to be admitted is said to be extended to 800. Their regular meeting will therefore soon commence. If care be taken in guarding against the admis sion of objectionable members, we see no good reason why . there of numbers.—More otthis hereafter." should be any limitation in poil Letters have been received from Trieste, dated on the 14th current, which advise the receipt of intelligence from Alissolonghi, dated on the 3d of May. It must afford sin cere satisfaction to those who are friendly to the restoration of Grecian civilization, to learn, that General CoLocornoxi,his sons, and his partizans, have not only submitted themselves to the orders of the Senate, but that their influence and exertions have been again restored to the service of their country : for the Senate, as soon as it was convinced of the sincerity of Ge neral Cor.ocoTnoxfs submissi on , restore d to hi m i ts confi dence, and directed him to resume the investment of Patriot, whi c h will now therefore secure the speedy surrender of that important fortress. The Senate also directed one of the Ge neral's sons to proceed to Cildia with reinforcements, and, if possible, to liberate that island from the yoke of the barba rians. The consequence of the submission of Co 1. ocoT no sr was the occupation of Napoli di Romania by the Senate.— The greatest unanimity prevailed amongst all classes in the 3lorea, and preparations had been made on the most extensive scale to repel the Turkish invasion, should any be actually at tempted. /shine of their ships, however, had at these dates ap peared on the coast. From every quarter, the intelligence received respecting Greece is highly satisfactory, and a short time only is requisite to enable the inabitants to enjoy the reward of their persevering exertions in the cause of independence and civilization. ~..............- . ROYAL. FAMlLY.—Yesterday the Duke of YORK dined with Mr. Greenwood, at his house in Audley-square, where there was a numerous party of distinguished characters.—The Princess Augusta and the Duchess of Gloucester yester day took several rides round the Regent's Park and its neighbourhood.lie Duchesses o f K en t T and Gloucester, P r i nce Leopold, Princess Feo dore, the Prince of Leimingen, and Prince visits to Con stantine Lewistein, paid the Duchess of Clarence yesterday.—On Sunday the Duchess of Clarence dined with the Duchess of Kent, at her apartments at the King's Palace, Ken sington. iipxt, by will he consecra t e d o the Rev. M r . K ERR n Sunday th e Archbishop o f CANTER:- nuRY, Bishop of Winchester, at Lambeth-palace. JunGmENT.—ln the Insolvent Debtors' Court this morning, j aws Rogers came up to claim his discharge. lie was opposed by several creditors for contracting debts with them when in i nso l vent c i rcu mstances, and w i t h out any proba bility of payi ng t h em. Af ter a long in vest i gat i on, the Court, in giving Jud gment, said it was clearly proved against the in solvent that he had committed fraud, and his misconduct was sufficient to place him under the 16th section ; therefore the sentence of the Court was, that the insolvent should not be entitled to any benefit of this Act until he had been confined within the walls of the prison for a period of six months. THE TIIEATRE. DRURY•LANE.-The veteran MUNDrN last night closed his public life, though he evinced no such decay of his mental or corporeal powers as to render his retirement at all necessary. On cral frl n ed, the contrary, he seemed to possess his faculties in such vigour as might enable him to occupy his station for many a future year. But he thought with the Poet, that " Wisdom's triumph is well timed ret rea t," a nd therefore released himself from all p ro f ess i ona l c a res to enjoy domestic ease and comfort. Il e wa s first recommended to the late Mr. HA RRIS , c hi e f Proprietor of Covent- Garden Theatre, by a l e g a l Gentleman who now occupies a public sit ua ti on , th e duti e s of Is hich he discharges with hon our an d grea t a bility. He saw MUNDEN in comparativ e o b scur ity i n the North, but conceiving that lie possess e d a bilities worthy of being tranferred to the London Boards, he who, relying on the j u d gmen t o f his ble recommended him to the Manager above men tioned, readily engaged hi m , and his long and uninterrupted success fully justifies the favour able opinion which brought him into general no tice. The part in which MUNDEN took leave of the public last night was Sir Robert Bramble, in the Comedy of The Poor Gentleman, which he supported with undecayed spirit, and deservedly . received throughout the warm applause of a nu merous audience. He afterwards appeared in the part o f D o zey, in the Farce of Past Ten o'Clock, in which he was equally successful, and equally applauded. Before the final dropping of the curtain, he came forward, and, with every mark of real feeling, took leave of the public in the following Address : " LADIZS AND GENTLEMEN—The moment is now ar. rived when I have to perform the painful duty of bidding you farewell. When I call to remembrance that five and thirty years have elapsed since I first had the honour of appearing be fore you, I am still more forcibly reminded that I ought to leave the scene for younger and gayer spirits to mingle in. But it is not easy to shake (Ain a moment the habits of years ; and you will, I know, pardon me if I am tedious, since it is for the last time. I carry with me into private life, Ladies and Gen tlemen, the deep and indelible remembrance of that kind, that liberal indulgence with which you have at all times regarded my humble efforts to amuse. I feel that lam poor in thanks,' but year kindness is registered here (laying his hand to his heart), and will never be forgotten ; and should the re currence of early associations occasionally bring back the vete ran Comedian to your recollection, he will ask for no higher fame. I thank you most sincerely, Ladies and Gentlemen, for the patience with which you have listened to me, and I now bid you a respectful, a grateful, and a last adieu." This Address made a strong impression, and was followed with warm and reiterated applause. Re then retired ; and as he has always been a prudent man, and felt the necessity of providing for a large family, we hope he will long enjoy the property which he has honourably acquired, and possess otium cum dignitate iu domestic re tirement. CoYEr•r-GAanEi.—Our ALLIES, the SABLE MONARCH of the Sandwich Islands and his Royal Consort, last night visited this Theatre, and the Managers having previous notice of the intended honour, made due preparations for their recep tion. A box was therefore fitted up for the occa sion, and they were received with all due respect and attention by Mr. liumuLE and others. The performances were Pizarro and The Spirits of the Moon, two Pieces which were well calculated to excite surprize and admiration in the Royal Visi tors and their suite. They were very attentive, and apparently had a general conception of what was going forward, particularly as they had an interpreter in their train. Pizarro has been so hackneyed in the public eye, that, with all its incidental music and scenery, it can have little attraction, particularly as the chief props, the late Air. KEMBLr•. and Mrs. SinnoNs, no longer give animation to its scenes ; but it still is rescued from obscurity by the Rolla of Mr. YOUNG and the Cora of Miss LACY, an Actress whose merits well entitle her to public protec tion. The Afterpiece, however, i, so splendid that it receives little support from the fable, and was therefore better calculated for those who must have conceived that supernatural powers were employed in the representation. Accord ingly, the gaze of wonder was visible in the Royal Visitors through the whole of the per formance. It was gratifying to observe dia.. the audience received these dignified strangers with the true feelings of hospitable gratulation. Such a testimony of public respect was due to them for what they are at present ; but when we reflect upon the natural progress of civilization, we may view them as representatives of a State that may hereafter be distinguished for polished manners, scientific attainments, legislative policy, and all the arts of cultivated society; thus, it is a point of national interest and duty to treat them with de ference end regard, and they will doubtless re turn to their own country with a deep sense of the importance and kindness which they received in what may be fairly characterized as the first of European empires. VAUXHALL GARDENS. The return of summer has once more revived all of the animating attractions of Vauxhall—of Vauxhall, the favourite resort of all that is gay and fashionable in our vast metropolis. The Gardens were last night thrown open to the public, and though from the unsettled appearance of the weather, the concourse of visitors was not so numerous as on some previous occasions, yet the assemblage was still sufficient to warrant the promise of a successful season. The arrange ments. of last year were such as to call forth the unqualified ap probation of all who beheld them; and the Prop r i e tors evince a determination to persevere in that course of spirited manage ment, which alone can ensure success in any public undertak ing. The alterations made for the present season are few but judicious. The saloon has been enlarged, and rendered more convenient for the accommodation of visitors. In the orchestra, a new sounding board has been put up, which exhibits a clas sical device, in the form of a shell. In addition tQ this, the whole structure has been newly painted and decorated. A spa cious gallery has been constructed in front of what is term e d the theatre, and to this all persons are admitted by tickets. The Cosmorainus presented some new scenes, which were much admired, particularly a representation taken from Capt. P arry ' s acc ount of his second voyage to the North Pole. With respect to the different performances, they all went off with the usual eclat, and were well sustained throughout. Amon g th e well known airs which were warmly encored, the favourite " Polly Hopkins," called forth the loudest plaudits, and we never heard it sung in better style. The fir ewor k s were on the greatest scale, and displayed some new d ev i ces , equa lly ingeni ous as imposing. It remains only to be observed, that no pains or expence seem to have been spared, in order to render Vaux hall even still more attractive than it was last season. Mr. KEAN, the tragedian, crossed from Brigh ton to Dieppe in an open boat, with some gentle men from this town, on Friday last.—(tha Paper.) EXECUTION. This being the day appointed for carryinz into execution the awful sentence of the law on John llidl Wagstaff, convicted of forgery, William Hill, for uttering forged notes, and John Easterby, for burglary, a more than ordinary crowd had been expected ; this, however, was not the case, for we never witnessed a more thin attendance.— Our readers are already fully aware of the nature of the crimes for which these unhappy beings suffered. MU requested that a near relative should not be allowed to have his body, obsery- ing, " he is a great villain, and will dispose of me to tl►e surgeons." His demeanor was that which in a better cause would have made hien rank high for fortitude. In fact, this did not leave him up to the last awful and trying mo ment.—Easterby was first introduced. lie ob. served he was happy. llill walked in witl► a rn►ness of nerve that astonished every person ; he shook hands with some persons whom he re cognised, and then submitted himself to be bound. lie took a pinch of snuff, and on the Officer at tempting to put it in his pocket, he requested him not to do so, as he wished to give it to a person in remembrance of him, which he did.— Wagstaff see►ned to feel his awful situation most acutely. lie partook of the Sacrament yesterday evening with his wife and sister, and, beyond joining i►► prayer with Nlr. Baker, seemed wholly lost to all earthly thoughts. Hill and Wagstaff suffered considerably, but owing to the humane invention of the worthy Sheriffs, their sufferings were very mucl► ameliorated. The awful scene concluded with one of those disgusting exhibi tion, the rubbing a woman's neck for the cure of a wen. 111 ERCANTI LE SHIPPING.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR MAY, 1824. A hot May is in general esteemed as unhealthy ; the present one has been as cold as we have known for many years ; in consequence, the Grass has not made much pro gress, and the sharp frosts have made great havock with the early sown Potatoes. The greater part of the month being dry, has been very favourable for the spring seed, and the sowing is now completed, and what has made its appearance looks extremely kind. The Wheats generally look well, and a great return may be expected, should the harvest weather prove fine. Potatoe planting is not yet finished ; a great breadth has been prepared; the value of this crop in cleaning land begins to be properly appreciated, and it has this advan tage, that the produce will always meet a good market.—A p pies and Pears show a very fine bloom ; the cold winds keep them backward, but that is considered as a favourable omen for a large crop. Cider and Perry are declining in price, from the anticipation of en abundant year.—Hops cannot at present be judged of, but generally the bine looks strong and healthy.— Stores of all kinds, both Cattle and Pigs, carry a high price 31ilch Cows are dear and difficult to procure. The frost has injured the Lucern considerably, but the Saintfoin stands the cold remarkably well, and chews a most manifest superiority over the Lucern.—The early sown Carrots and Parsnips look very promising; large quantities of these valuable roots are now cultivated ; their excellence as winter food for milch cows and working horses is now generally acknowledged ; no farmer, who wishes well to his cattle, should be without a few acres of these valuable rooter.—The general aspect of Agriculture is • most promising, and should propitious showers now shed their genial moisture, the crops will be most abundant. 314 31, 1824. MIDDLESEX SEiSIONS.-These Sessions com menced this day before FRANcis CoNsr, Esq., Chairman, and a full Bench of Magistrates. The Calendar is remarkably heavy, being about 200 prisoners for trial, but none of them, we are happy to state, are of a very serious nature.— After the Grand and Petit Juries were sworn, the Court proceeded to hear causes in the traverse paper, for assaults, misdemeanours, &c., in which some are of a very aggravating descrip tion. REMOVAL or CoxvrcTS.—Last night a caravan, loaded with convicts, were removed from New gate on their route to Portsmouth, preparatory to their transportable destination at New South \Vales. A number of persons assembled to take a last farewell of the prisoners, who, on leaving the gaol, gave three cheers. They were escorted by a party of the Light Horse.
