THE SUN SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUIikE.IT LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1824. IMPORTANT. We are assured that liis MAJESTY'S Speech, °ri the opening of Parliament, will contain a FULL RECOGNITION OF THE INDEPENDENCE or THE 8 011T H AMERICAN STATES. This is a policy which we have latterly recommended on special &rounds ; and we are most sincerely rejoiced to !earn that we have only been participating in the views mid sentiments of Government on the sub- feet. We are further assured that the last dis- Patches from St. Pete rsburgh are perfectly pacific, and that our own Cabinet has the best reasons for being completely satisfied as to the views and conduct of Russia. It is even confidently expected that Russia and France wal adopt the same policy as this country towards South America, and that th e recognition of the New States by England kill immediately be followed by a similar kCt o u the part of those Powers. Indeed, it i, understood that assurances have already been "changed between the three Governments to that " Er ect. This will indeed be a proud triumph for the firmness and consistency by which the coun "s of this country have been distinguished thro ughout the difficult and threatening period of th e last eighteen months. We are particularly hap pY in being enabled to give these assurances, at the present moment, as we understand a Powerful but unauthorized attempt will be made, throu g h °" of the Evening Papers to-night, to reate an unfounded alarm which might have 411 unfavourable influence in the city. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. At a late hour this forenoon we received by "Press t h e E toile of yesterday, from which the f °flowing are extracts : [From the ituils of yesterday.] b i lis Majesty Ferdinand VII. has sent to ( , i nce Cari gnan , f or hi s serv i ces, the Grand `°ll ar of th e O r d er o f the 'Poison d'Or. Manatu, JAN. 17.—The King has appointed, 43 second in command. Commandant-General of Andalusia, the Marshal-de-Camp John Downie, consideration of his great services ; and his t ‘ t lejesty h as entrusted the command of Ciudad i "rigo to Marshal-d e -C am p D on Philipe de Treil es. Th e King has issued a Decree concerning the e4pability of the military. It is composed of several chapters, each divided into a great num ter of articles. The first is composed of an Es l'l,.illislitnent-general of the Administration and ' '! ll itite s of War, which will operate under the 0i ' .14 of th e Mi n i ster of Finance. The evil spirit tn t he di ssat i s fi ed is continuing to operate daily t he p ro j ects of the Government, of which e re is no foundation. They report at Madrid of a Decree of the King, which condemns for 30 years to the .galleys all the ancient Alcades (Constitutional). This report is spread about by the enemies of the.throne.` They also state, that the Militia are threatened with perpetual impri sonment, and new rigours are preparing for all those who have manifested their attachment to the ancient system, but the Government does not require to put iu force at present these new acts of spverit y. (Frain calignani's Messenger of the 26th.) Lieut.-General Guillerninot is seriously indis posed. The following is from the Belgic Journal:-- " If a rumour afloat in the Northern Provinces, particularly at Amsterdam, way be depended upon, it is in contemplation that Prince Frederick should go to Batavia, to reside there in quality of Viceroy, over the Belgian provinces in the East Indies." In our preceding columns we have given copious extracts from the Foreign Journals re ceived last night. The King of SPAIN, instead of an amnesty, has issued a decree for the forma tion of Courts-martial in all the Provinces for the trial of persons accused of military offences ! We some time since intimated to our Readers that an important measure in favour of the Greeks was on the lapis. It is now said that the Continental Alliance will recognize ther inde pendence on the condition that Greece shall re ceive a Sovereign of their nomination. England cannot, of course, be a party to any arrangement of this kind ; but the proposition furnishes her with an additional motive for acknowledging the independence of Greece, and that, too, before the completion of a projet on the part of the Continental Powers, which would weaken her , future influence with the new Greek Empire. By the schooner Sally, arrived from Jamaioa and klavannah, we have files of Kingston Papers to the 18th November. The Bill to repeal the Registry Act was brought into the House of Assembly on the 13th, and met with nearly an unani mous support. General D'Evereux and his suite sailed for Carthagena, for Europe, on the 9th October, in the British sloop of war Scout. Commodore Sir Edward Owen was about to return to England from his command on the Jamaica sta tion ; and public meetings were to be held, to express the fa vourable opinion entertained by the inhabitants of his official conduct.—Letters from Tampico, of 29th October, received at New Orleans, state, that the fever was raging with greater violence than ever known. CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consuls opened this morning at 911 i, with a good deal doing ; then soon after they fell to 91f, but rose again to 911, and for Money 914. The Expresses from Paris have brought the R.entes at 95f. 35c. at three o'clock, but afterwards left off at 95. 40. to 50. The price of Spanish Bonds is not quoted, by which it is supposed they remain the same as on Saturday 241. We have no reports this morn ing in the city. FOREIGN MARKET.-r-Spunish Bonds, opened this morning at 25, but afterwards dropped to 24-fi-, with little doing. It has been some time hinted that the Minis ter intended to reduce the interest on Exchequer Bills to lid. per day ; and it is now certain, from the premium these bills bear, he will be able to accomplish his object, and this alone will produce a saving of 200,0001. and upwards in the annual expenditure. But it is now rumoured, that he intends to carry this operation still fur ther, and to effect a reduction of the Old 4 per Cent. Annuities, and of the 31 per Cent. Annui ties, by the same means, which will produce a fur ther considerable saving. It is evident some ad vantage must be given to the holders of 31 per Cent. Annuities, and a still larger bonus to the holders of the Old 4 per Cents.; but, even allow ing for that, the saving to the public will not be less than per Cent. on the amount of the Stocks so transferred. This will be the least advantage to the Public. The holder of these Stocks will find his 1001. fully secured to him, which in the old stocks, on a war or a rumour of war, might suffer a very considerable depreciation. In fact these bills are almost equally negotiable with Bank-notes,and the owner has the advantage of receiving his interest of lid. per day to the very day he sells them. In our preceding columns we have given an interesting report of the proceedings yesterday at the annual dinner of the Ship Owner's So. ciety. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, the President of the Society, who entered the room ac companied by Mr. Secretary CANNING, and other distinguished characters, took the Chair. The Noble CIIAIRMAN pronounced a just eulogy on the importance of the shipping interest to the prosperity and security of the Empire, and ex pressed his satisfaction at the gratifying fact that it is at length emerging from the difficulties with which, in common with the other interests of the state, it had struggled after the conclusion of the war. Mr. CANNING. made an eloquent speech, to which we regret that our limits prevent us from doing justice, but which, from the brief report we are enabled to give of it, will be seen to have been replete with British feeling, and to have glowed with truly British sentiments and spirit. Every enlightened man in the country concurs with him in the proud declaration of the renovated strength and power of the Empire,— of the giant strides with which it is advancing in prosperity,—and of its capacity, should that prosperity be assailed or threatened from without, to maintain its rights and its interests, its rank and its station in Europe, and in the civilized world, against whatever combination may be brought against it. THE GREEK LOAN.—The following regarding the Greek Loan was posted yesterday : " GREEK LOAN. " TO THE SECRETARY OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE. " Silt—Having seen a letter addressed to you, and signed JOHN Bowßixu,' I think it a duty - 1 owe the public to no tice it by informing them, that my appointment of General is signed the 4th February, 1792, at appointment of General i signed the 4th February, 1792, at Coblentz, by his present Majesty the King of France, and in the year 1790 I was de corated with the Order of St. Stanislaus, by his Majesty the King of Poland. At that time I was his actual Chamberlain and Privy Councillor. _ " Regarding the Loan in question, the authorities under which I act are in the hands of the Contractors, and may be seen on application to the Agent. " I request that the same publicity may be given to this let ter as has been given to that of NIL Bowring. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient servant, " General Count De WINTZ, " R. Wade, Esq. " 9, King-street, Finsbury-square." TEE KING.—BILIGHTON, JAN. 27.—Tile in quiries of Nobility, &c., at the Palace to-day, to learn the state of the KING's health, have again been exceedingly numerous. The answer to the present is—" His Majesty has had a more favourable night, and is better to-day." Yesterday at two o'clock a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, by summons, which was again attended by all the Cabinet Ministers, who continued in deliberation till about half-past five, with the exception of two of the Ministers, who left at half-past four. Monday evening Mr. PROUDIKAN, the King's Messenger, left town from the Secretary of State's Office for the Home Department, with dispatches, for Hertford, respecting the fate of Hunt. Yesterday afternoon the Duke of Yoni, as C ommander-in-Chief, held a levee at his Office in the Horse Guards. Yesterday letters were received in London from the Queen of WURTEMBEIte, addressed to most of th e Royal Family, Szc. The Address will be moved in the House of Commons, next Tuesday, by ROWLAND HILL, Esq. one of the Members for the County of Salop) and seconded by JAMES DALY, Esq. one of the Members for the County of Galway. It is not yet settled, we understand, by whom it is to he moved and seconded in the House of Peers. Of the natur e o f the Royal Speech nothing of course can bp permitted to transpire till it has been submitted to his MAJESTY in Council. _ _ ' Extract fro m a letter, .dated Antigun, 7th De cember, 1823:—" We have just received ac counts from Demerara, of th e execution of the Iftev. Mr. Smith, a membe r of the London Mis sionary Society, who has been hanged, upon the fullest proof, for exciting the late rebellion in t hat colony. The Poor deluded negroes, who have paid the forfeit ca sion, uniformly at th e of th e i r li ves upon t hi s oc . gallows declared with their last breath, that it was by his preaching and excitement that ( Morning Herald.) they were led to revolt.— WArtrrznußGtt, JAN• 15.—According to recent accounts, the number of persons arrested as making part of the band of robbers lately discovered has become so numerous, that the prisons of Amberg and Zulsbach are not sufficient to lodge them separately. Ateasures have therefore been taken to fit up 15 chambers in the Castle of Rotenburgh, to receive the same number of prisoners, who will be removed from Am berg. More members of this band are arrested daily. A letter from Paris of a recent date contains the following paragraph The brother of raised to. Madam e Du Cayh t i s a b out to be rai sed the peerage, and to marry into an ancient family of the high noblesse. This favourite of an illustrious personage has taken advantage of the high favour with which she has been honoured, bath to raise her family and to amass a large fortune. She had received in a present the chateau of St. Ouen, the fitting up of which cost the civil list two millions of francs. She re-sold it to the do nor for 1,500,000 of francs ; and this sum she shared with her brother. After this, the il lustrious donor conferred upon his favourite possession for life of the property which he first gave and afterwards re-purchased. Happy the age which thus sees the restoration of legitimate monarchies, the power of the Jesuits, and the gallantries of the Court of Louis XV." We have reason to believe that the information which we communicated a few days ago, on re spectable authority, of Mr. Ca.oxErt's appoint ment to be Governor of Bombay, was erroneous. (Morning Chronicle.) To-morrow the LORD MAYOR will hold a Common Council at Guildhall. It is again confidently reported that the Bank Charter is about to be renewed, and that the rate of interest on discounts will be reduced to three per cent. The interest of money lent on mort gage by the Bank Ai ill also be reduced in the same ratio.—(Morning Paper.) A disagreeable understanding is said to have occurred between the principal Manager of one of the theatres royal and a dramatic writer, on the subject of a long-expected tragedy, which is likely to produce a very interesting and curious statement both to the theatrical and literary world. HUNT.—An order has been sent from the Home Department to Hertford Gaol, for the re moval of Hunt forthwith to the Justitia hulk, at Woolwich preparatory to his transportation for . . life, to New South Wales, on board a convict ship which will sail, about six weeks hence, from the river for that destination.

The house was crowded, and the whole received with great applause. A notice of apology for the hoarseness of Cuttiowi, and stating that Madlle.

Howes it appeared is the associate of a most daring gang of young thieves, and had in duced the other boy to abscond from his home two days since. The mother of Bull described him as a very bad boy, and the Magistrate said, that under all the circumstances he felt it his duty to commit them for trial. The young urchins treated the result with the utmost indifference. Mr LATE EARL OF lioecTonx.---,-We under stand that a subscription has been lately set on foot by the late Lord HomouN's tenantry, on his estates in East Lothian, for the purpose of erecting a monument to his memory in that county. The object of this is not to com memorate the great public services of that lament ed Nobleman, but merely to transmit to posterity a pledge of the high sense they entertain of his kindness and liberality as a landlord. Though the subscription is confined exclusively to tenants, and they are by no means numerous, they have already, we understand, collected upwards of 200 guineas.—(Caledonian Mereary.) MATHEWS is again at Manchester, exhibiting his budget of eccentricity and fun in all its variety.

Extract of a letter, dated Philadelphia, Dec. 30, 1823: " Cobbett's petition to the State Legislature has been rejected. It is an old proverb, " Give the d—l his due ;" and if Cobbett had his due, he certainly ought to be refunded two thousand dollars, out of which he was completely tricked. One of the most intelligent Members of the Legislature just now told me hat any other man would recover it ; " but Ins name," said he, " its Cobbett !" COURT OF CHANCERY.—(Tins DAT.) GOURLAY V. THE DUKE OF SOMEWEr. The Loan CHANCELLOR in this case concluded his judgment, and after taking a review of the whole of the proceedings from the trials of the action to the removal of the inquiry before ills Honour, the Master of the Rolls, to its subsequent removal in the shape of appeal into that Court ; and remarked, that although many averments were made upon the record, and much had beer,. stated in the issue, indeed, much which was alto gether unnecessary, and he thought might have arisen in consequence of the appellant conduct ing his own case, and being ignorant of the judicial proceeding; of the equitable Court into which the matter had been introduced, yet 1I s Lordship felt the decision of the Master of t Rolls on various points of the case were Mot certainly correct, and he could not fairly remove them. His Lordship proceeded to remark on. the evidence in the case given by Gale, and: upon the petition stating the improvements to the farm by Mr. Gourlay's proceedings, and also upon the answer filed in that Court, describing them not to be improvements, but calculated to decrease the value, and observed, as he had to decide upon a specific matter, between n suitor ant suitor, and not between man and man, therefore, taking the whole of the circumstances into his Lordship's consideration,, he was of opinion that. the only equitable means of disposing of that case was to dismiss the pe tition of appeal. his Lordship also took the opportunity of censuring the conduct pursued by the party conducting his own case, observing, such language would .not be tolerated from the Bar, and it was for the consideration of the COUTE whether in future persons pursuing such conduct were not liable to be dealt with for contempt of Court. Mr. Gouitr.Av made some observations, to which his Lordship did not reply. The Cctrt was crowded by gentlemen.

The deceased, who was sentenced to 3 months' impri sonment for vagrancy, complained of indisposition on Saturday, and on Sunday was admitted into the hospital, where medical assistance was afford ed him. Early yesterday morning he complaiAed of having a great pain in his side, and said be wished he could die ; some tea was given to him by the nurse, and he appeared more composed, and quietly laid himself on the bed. In about half an hour afterwardi he was found cold and life less, and on examing his.
