SOLE 11 QUIS DICERS F-11.311,1 AUDli.l7'5 EXPRESS FROM PARIS. We have received by Express the Journal des -1 1) bals of Wednesday. It contains an article on the document's respecting South America, lately submitted to Parliament. We subjoin 10:attracts : [From the Journal des Delmar of Wednesday.] PARIS,. MARCH 9.—The documents deposited O « the table of the English House of Commons, "nd which we inserted yesterday, have not fur any thing new to the public. It is already "" years since an Act passed, by which England ,Vetied her Ports to all the Flags of the Spanish telonies, and she wished before to treat for the independence of those Colonies at the Congress 4)f Aix-la-Chapelle, and renewed this proposition at the Congress of Verona. Mr. Canning, at the commencement of the pre sent Session, announced formally that England was disposed to acknowledg e the independence of Spanish America, if the information which he expected from the English Agents should appear to him to leave no further doubt. Now it ap pears that the question was judged before the publication of these documents. We observe with pleasure that the French 13 iploulacy, as given in the documents, is ex pressed with a great deal of dignity, prudence, and reserve. It leaves to France the facility and the right of acting, conformably to good faith, to t h e politics of Europe, to the rights of Spain, "d to the interests of France ; and, above all, th e whole of these documents are of a tone the most p ac i f i c and amicable, and express but else reciprocal desire for the continuation of a general Peac e . W e are convinced that the discussions which l'ave already taken place on the documents, only confirm these observations. At noon, His Majesty gave audience to the Ambassadors, Ministers, and Plenipotentiaries of the Foreign Powers. —The king did not go out. Ills Highness the Duke de Bourbon went in the afternoon to the Temple, where he only re wine a few minutes. A report prevailed of the serious indisposition °f the Emperor Alexander ; but the last letters fr oth St. Petersburgh announce that Prince to by entirely recovered, and that the marriage of bl 3 brothe r the Grand Duke Michael, vrith the Princess of Wurtemberg, has been celebrated. hIANI IEZA, FEB.

The enrupany were gratified with the per formance on the Grand Piano Fort e by young Aspull, the mu sical child, only eight years of age , who lately had the honour of performing before the King at Windsor. The Dowager larckioness of Hertford gave her first rout for the season yesterday evening at her house in Manchester-square, which was very fashionably attended. Lady Ellenborough entertained a large party of distinguished Lshionables on Wednesday evening at Cambridge House. A very splendid ball and supper was lately given by the Nel son Club at Belfast. The most striking feature in the account of the business in the Belfast Newspaper is the following de. scription of the dress of the Marchioness of Vane Londonderry : —" This dress exceeded in magnificence any thing of the kind ever seen, and almost baffles description. Her Ladyship's dress consisted of a diamond bandeau, surmounted by a brilliant dia. mynd tiara ; the necklace and ear-rings were emeralds and diamonds ; the waist was encircled by a diamond cestus, over a gown which was magnificently looped in numerous parts with unrivalled coloured stones. The front of the gown was formed in the shape of an apron, and was crossed alternately with rows of topazes, pink and yellow turquois, emeralds, amethysts, ru bies, and diamonds, until they reached the waist, where they were met by a brilliant diamond stomacher."

During his absence on an expedition to Morocco, the merchant has been bequeated a large estate, and ha s become Count Ventoso. The family decide on rejectin g Lorenzo as an inferior m a tch. He returns, is indig mint and, acquainting his brother officers with the insult, de. termtnes on degrading the family by a marriage with a man of the lowest order, personating a man of rank. This man is looked for in the public jail ; the family are captivated, and the match is to occur imm e di a t e ly. L orenzo su dd en ly reg rets his vengeance, interferes, and detects the impostor. The pride of the family has a f all. Lorenzo is ascertained to be of high birth, and impostor heir to opulence. The daughters find their lovers, and the Count and Countess are secured in their title and fortune. The scene is in Palermo. this newsbeDe etrat de,e Drama s a i very promisingd itsl4, toapNpVrooachhale in what i a ti mate Comedy. W e certai n ly can ' trace resem blances to characters, incidents, and situations in several preceding works of the kind, but . we must allow at once for the difficulty of devising new characters, incidents, Sex. and the still greater difficulty of combining them into a regular and effective whole. The characters in this piece are various ; they are properly employed, and though wit and humour are lavished upon the dialogue, yet the plot proceeds to its due ma turation ; and though the liveliness of some of the characters, and the spirit of that dia logue, amuses the mind, yet it does not prevent it from feeling a strong interest in the progression of the story, and an eager cu riosity to know the result. That in several of the oyes we meet with " an old friend with a new 'ace" we readily admit, but those jokes naturally arise from the circumstances with which they are connected, and often are conveyed in a more condensed form, and with a sharper point. The language is in general easy and spirited, and sometimes highly poetical : the sentiments are natural, and some of the situations are very ludicrous and diverting. The plot, as we before observed, can by no means be consi dered as wholly new, but it is managed in such a manner as to bear an aspect of no velty. The Address from one prisoner to the rest is a good ridicule of democratic principles and popular harangues, and the parody on Mercutio's celebrated fantastical speech is very ingenious and effective. The songs display no slight de gree of poetical spirit, and are much above the ordinary style of such compositions. The actors in general, by their correctness and animation, gave all requisite support to the piece, and among them, Messrs. C. KIMBLE, J ON ES, YATES, CON. NOR, and EGEItTON, were conspicuous. Mrs. DAVENPORT also is entitled to distinct notice, for her bustling activity and forcible hu moor. Miss PAToN and Miss LOVE, in the parts allotted to them, which may be chiefly consi dered as vehicles for their musical talents, ac quitted themselves very ably. This Comedy has been ascribed to several well-known writers of the present day, but we can declare with certainty, that it is the production of the Rev. G EURGE CROLY, the author of Cataline, a Tra gedy, which has been published, but which ought first to have appeared on dramatic boards, as it displays a just conception of character and a vigorous imagination. Ile is also the author of many Poems, which have justly placed him on a high station among the race of living Bards.— It is not often that the same mind is capable of producing tragic and humourous productions, and therefore the piece before us, compared with his former works', must be deemed a striking proof of the versatility, as well as of the vigour of his powers.—The Comedy was received throughout, by a numerous audience, with great applause, and announced for repetition with the most de cisive success.

DEATH OF VISCOUNT MAYNARD.--We are sorry to have to announce the death of Lord Viscount INLkyNARD, which took place on Wed. nesday lust, at his Lordship's seat at Dunmow, Essex. lie was also Baron MAYNARD, and a Baronet. his Lordship completed his seventy. second year in August last. We believe he has left no issue. AFF4 I tt OF 110 NOD It.—A misunderstanding took place between Mr. EDWARD O'GRADY, jun. of Stephen's-grevn, East, and Mr. EtistunD CASEY, son of Mr. CASEY, of Ely-place, Police Magistrate, when leaving St. Pet er ' s Ch urc h , after divine service, on Sunday last (7th inst.) The difference originated, it is said, in some re f uarks respecting the late affair between Mr. SPRING RICE and Mr.WALLER O'GRADY. Warm language produced blows, and arrangements were subsequently made for a meeting yesterday morning (Monday, Bth inst.) The Police having heard of the affair, however, Mr. Goonnissori, Chief Peace Officer, of College -stre e t office, suc ceeded late on Sunday night in taking Mr. O'GRADY into custody, when he was bound over to keep the peace, himself in one thousand pounds, and two sureties in five hundred pounds each.

CO Ult 51No.___The match for 20 sovereigns between Colonel Elmhuret's bitch Clarissa, and Mr. Hassell's dog Hercules (to which the Cup was adjudged at the last Louth Meeting,) was run on Monday, the Ist instant, on the beautiful ground at ‘Vithcall. The Course was between two and three miles, over a fine plain, without a single fence to interrupt. The Judges, of whom (on account of the hills) there were live, unanimously decided in favour of Clarissa. The bitch not only showed very. great speed, but uncommon bottom. Mr. Ilassell's dog is thought to be one of the best in the kingdom.—(Durli""t Mercury. Lord Yarborough's Hounds had a tine run on Thursday se'nnight. After beating about for some time, a fine dog-fox was started at Kirton Lew Wood. Reynard ran directly fur Wildsworth, then ce to Wharton W o od, then ma d e across the hills towards Gairiebro', when finding his pursuers close at his heels, he took the Trent in fine style, and was gallantly, though reluctantly, followed by the hounds, who while crossing the river seemed as if' they might almost have been covered with a sheet. However easy the barrier of the Trent might be to the dogs, it threw the sportsmen sadly out, as there was no way but to take the river, or to go round by the bridge, which wa • at least a mile distant ; to this latter course, however, many were obliged to resort. The huntsman and other gentleman got over in a boat. The fox taking the occupation road, made directly towards Beckingham. After various doublings, he led oft' across the country to Wyston, and swam across the canal there ; in consequence of which, and the darkness of the evening, the huntsman was obliged to whip off, and leave Reynard to the chance of furnishing another day's sport. Front the point where the fox started at Kirton, to Wyston where he was left, he must, what with doublinge and crossings, have run between forty and fifty miles ; and that being fully at speed, there is little wonder if most of the horses had enough of ft.-- Along the road, towards dusk, here and there mig::t he seen some straggling sportsman leading his jaded steed, anti drag ging him somewhat towards home ; and many were compelled to take up their lodgings where they could, or rest an hour or two before they ventured to try to fund their way home. Altogether, this may be considered is the best run Lord Yarborough's hounds have had for these many years; and what is perhaps not the least extraordinary part of it, had the hounds not been taken off at Wyston, they would have shortly been run in three counties, and through one hunting ground to a third. After the run, the hounds returned to their ken nel at Manbyr a distance of four or five and twenty miles. Few even of the Lincolnshire crack horses were able to keep way among the clays of Nottinghamshire, and for a short time, Mr. Simpson, jun., of P.abworth, and Mr. Ilurton, were the only persons near the hounds. One young lady, Mies Hating, coming fresh into the field at Gainsborough, wax able to l eetp near the lead, and took the various drains with which the coun try is intersected, in fine style, where many of the sportsmen drew off to find an easier passage.— Hull Packet.) One day last week, a gentleman being out with a brace of greyhounds, near East !lading, they discovered a fox on some of the open lands, in that neighbourhood, to which the dogs gave chase ; finding himself close pressed, he took refuge, after a long run, in a farm yard, where he was taken alive, ) l a l e r ) i . s i h e l s land being presented to J. Ayton, Esq. at Eccles Hall, that Gentleman invited Captain Cay, with his hounds, and a nu. merous assemblage of sportsmen, when the fox was turned out on Eccles Heath, and ruttin g. in fine style, afforded much diver sion, taking the direction of Lading, and having run through gh, I n eittl ß e c) C u n o b f o r l o s u l r d e l s ia si n t u lg , h E u a n s l : Wretham, West Wretham, Tofts, Starston, Stanford Totting tG"re'altirreksisnignig'alitant'n, floughtcn, Cockle Cley, South Pickens the boundaries of the po l d harm North Pickenluun ; he was ut l ast ki lled on the Swaff. ham race-course, having been the occasion of one of the best day's sport ever enjoyed by the company then present.—( B ury Gazette.)

CHUE LT Y TO ANTI:KALIL—WiII/UM iiiteh ley, the driver of chariot, No. 754, appeared to a summons preferred against him by Richard Martin, Esq. M.P., for most cruel and wanton treatment of a horse on the 2d instant, near Craig's-court, Strand. The defence set up was, that the horse did not require the whip. This, of course, put an end to any doubt, as it was sworn that he was for some time occu pied in his brutal conduct. From the manner in which the defendant behaved, Mr. Martin recommended the infliction of the lowest penalty only, which was accordingly done.—The lion. Member declined taking. even the costs, which, with the tine, was directed to be given to the poor. LINEN BOUNTY.—In our last publication we noticed the ruinous effects likely to be produced by the abolition of the Linen Bounty, which the CHANCELL OR of the ExCHEQU ER meditates. We hope our arguments have had some effect in rousing into activity the interest likely to be affected by the measure. We are enabled to state that the County will be convened this week, for the purpose of protest ing against the arrangement. The Ladies's C en t ra l C omm itt ee meet—the District Committees will also exert their energies. We hope every County in Ireland will convey the galena feel ing—it is a matter of deep importance. A petition to this effect lies for signatures at the Chamber of Commerce and Commer cial Buildings.—( Cork. Mercantik Chronicle. ) At the Meeting of the inhabitants of the Ward of Farringdon Without, held yesterday, in St. Sepulchre's Church, it was resolved to petition the House of Commons for the repeal of than House and Window Duties. INDIA. PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. " We have just heard of two measures, lateiy adopted by this Government, which we are sure our readers will rejoice to learn. The one is the Establishment of a General Committee of Public Instruction, which is, we understand, not only to direct its labours to the extension and improvement of existing Institutions, but is also authorized gradually to intro duce European Arts and Sciences; and has at its disposal Funds fur the purpose. This arrangement cannot fail to bring to the recollection of our readers the feeling and paternal speech of our late respected Governor-General, on the occasion of his tonal Address to the College Students. The pledge there given that " the attention of the Governor General in Council is sedulously directed to the important subject of public instruction," has been amply redeemed, and redeemed in just such a manner as might be expected from the remain thr of the address from which we have taken the above extract, and which, we imagine defines, the wise and wholesome prin ciples on which the work of improvement is to be conducted. What man, who is at all alive to the feelings of humanity, but must rejoice from the inmost recesses of his heart at this practical effort at the diffusion of knowledge and moral cultiva tion of mind, joined with 'paternal attention to the social com forts of his fellow-men ?'1 he other measure to which we have referred, is the appropriation of the whole of the Town Duties throughout the Country to the purposes first of local, and afterwards of general improvement. The funds derived from the Town Duties are to be placed under the controul of Committees to be appointed at the several Towns and Cities, with very full powers to devote them to works conducive to the health and comfort of the people—such as opening new streets, making new roads, paving and widening old ones, clearing large and unwholesome tanks, filling up stagnant pools, &c. These improvements are in the first instance to be chiefly confined to the City or Town in which the duties are collected but as the most urgent and necessary desiderata are completed, the Com mittees are authorised to extend the benefit of this most noble boon to parts adjacent, even eventually to the extent of the province. We may first, therefore, congratulate our Calcutta Readers on the additional stimulus which will be thus given to the suc cessful effbrts which have already been made to add, not only to the health and beauty of the City, but even to the minor com forts of its i n h a bi tants. Much aaas been done, this additional aid, in the hands of the active and able individuals who have hitherto so judiciously disposed of the funds derived from the Lottery, cannot fail to be felt, and we have no doubt but the effects will be shortly seen. The extension of the plan adopted in Calcutta, as far as re lates to the Committee, throughout the whole of the territory, at once gives to the Mofussil public the advantages of local im provement which have hitherto been confined to Calcutta. The means of defraying the expences of these improvements, too, are those best calculated to answer the purpose ; for it is clearly evident that as the means of communication be come improved, the inland commerce must increase, inde pendently of the natural stimulus which is every where given to it as the comforts of the inhabitants are multiplied. We cannot in this place even allude one hundreth part of the advantages which press upon our minds, and which mus: inevitably take place on any given spot ; but when we. con template the vast extent of country over which these projects are simultaneously and simply to act, shedding the blessings of moral improvement, political and social comfort over millions, we are lost in admiration at the simplicity with which so much good is to be effected, and are ready to exclaim happy are the people that have such a Government.' The combination of these simultaneous improvements mu tually increases the intrinsic value of each. Mere worldly com fort and prosperity, without a mind properly disposed to appre ciate them, scarcely reach beyond animal enjoyment—and the Government which thus studies to combine the two, at the same time that it secures to the people the means of comfort and hap piness within thar.e:ves, ev :nee* a desire to obtain the affection and regard of its subjects on the most secure and praise -worthy grounds. No human eye can foresee the full extent of the advantages which the above two projects united are calculated to produce. —lf we write warmly, weftel 30 : but we feel that we have not done justice to our feelings, nor do we think that any one who, for a moment, considers the prospects here held out, can abstain from joining with us in a grateful acknowledgment to that Go vernment, which has evinced such a disposition to foster and protect the millions committed to their charge."—(Cakatta 1823. ) ERCAN"FILE SHIPPING.

CONNOLLY'S ikMORIAL.---1 . 110 appeal to the Kist', on behalf of the unfortunate Connolly has at length been completed. It embr►ces alt the circumstances which were urged on his de fence at the trial, and particularly alludes to the idea which at the time he laboured under, %it., his right to prevent the intrusion into his house. In addition to the Memorial are certificates from the Magistracy of Hertford, and particularly from the Jury who tried him, and who strongly recommend him as a tit object for the extension of the Royal clemency. The Memorial, we un derstand, was placed in the hands of his MA JESTY on Wednesday by a personage much i►L the Royal confidence, but no official intimation of the Royal pleasure has as yet been given, although, from some circumstances that have transpired, it is expected that his sentence will not be altered. Connolly still entertains hopes of a commutation of punishment. From the nature of the arrangements in"transmitting convicts from Hertford to the Hulks, a delay of only a few ' days will be observed. Should the sentence not be commuted, Connolly will immediately be for warded to Woolwich.
