BOGOTA, MARCH 17.—0 n the illth• ult.. arrived at La Guinea, ant instantly proceeded for Caraccas, on his way for . this city,. his Excellency Colonel Teners, Minister .Plenipo tentiary from the United States of .31exico to the Republic of Colombia. Some unfortunate misunderstanding having taken place•between the Government and the Vice-Admiral of the:. united squadron:- it Was decreed by a Council of War, held on the 7th ult., that the latter should present himself before his . Excellency the l,iberioor of the supreme Authority of Peru, to • render an account ; of his conduct, and he has accordingly set out for the purpose.—Accounts front LiMa state,. that the troops of the Liberating Army have already taken poastasion of the Provinces of Peru. By accounts from Guatimala to the 17th of March, it appears that the Mexican Republic is beginning to assume the form of a regular Go vernment. A decree of the National Constituent Assembly, dated the 16th September. 1824, had convoked the first Federal Congress of the Re public. The members had each taken the pre scribed oath, and a President, a Vice-President, and Secretaries were elected. The Assembly commenced its session for regular business on the 23d of February last. The recognition by Great Britain of: their Independence has been the sub ject of unmixed delight to the heads of Mexican Federation, and it is made the theme of a c..m gratulatory Proclamation, addressed by the President, Don GUADALOUPE VICTORIA, to the Mexicans on the 14th of. March last. The happiest results are expected to be derived from this act of justice by Great Britain, the value of which is the more fully appreciated as it was withheld until the English Government felt assured that the Mexicans were able to de fend their independence against the Royalist forces of Spain. The sound discretion exercised by the British Cabinet on this point has been productive of this advantage to the Mexican Nation, viz. that it shews, in the clearest manlier, the opinion England entertains as to the strength and solidity of the Government of the New Re public. The deplorable state.of the Fins,,,c of Sinin will .appear by a 1 ,,,a1z.ca1 vf tlgn Report made by? the Treasurer-Genet:ll to the ipanish Minister of Finance, whirls will be found in another part or our Paper.' he in the lat ter part or that document, distinctly requests to be . permitted. to - retire from a situation which imposes On. him " a. charge so superior to his strength "—a circumstance at which we can be no way surprised. The dilapidated credit of-the Spanish Governmeut, and the extrem e difficulty of collecting the little revenue that still remains,im poses an obstacle to the retrieving of her finances that appears at first almost ii►superable,and ionust be plain that a - Government without money can not very long exist. If, however, the difficulty is to be overcome, the sooner it is set about the better, for every day only increases the obstacles that thus .present themselves to a consum,na tion every way so desirable. The Treasurer* General recommends recourse to a Foreign Loan, but if a Loan could under existing circumstances he effected at all, it could be so only on the most ruinous conditions. The very proposition itself places the Spanish Cabinet at the mercy of the Capitalist who could be induced to undertake it, and whose judgment as to what would be a reason able remuneration for the advance of money, they would find themselves in no situation to impugn. But it is - scarcely possible to. imagine that a loan could be effected ; and in truth, until the Govern ment shall show a desire to act up to the recom- inendations contained in this report; and adopt a system of the most rigid economy in their expen diture, and of impartial justice in the collection of their revenues, it cannot be hoped that any person woull entrust his money to the heads of a nation whose had faith with the public creditor is proverbial, and whose" people have been re duced to a state of incomparable wretchedness and misery by their infatuated conduct and arbi- . trary dispositions. Their first act should be a full recognition of the independance of tho Spa-' nish American Republics, and the abandonment of a war which serves at once to drain their trea sury and cover them with disgrace. TILE PITT CLUB.—A copious account of the Anniversary Festival in honour of the Birth-day of Mr. PITT, on Saturday last, appears in ano ther part of our Paper this day, but, having been present, we cannot deny ourselves the pleasure of expressing our own feelings on the occasion. It was highly gratifying to find that the memory and services of the great departed Statesman are held in due esteem and gratitude by some of the m ost distinguished characters in the country, j ust ly distinguished for station, rank, a n d ta l en t s , o a t f i d :rsPpuelecit'atbCelr Isitniiizpetrtiiiessali fyiiia most weli a e s m i i i n t e i u n i t tie N r l o e u r s cl i zi i t y s individ ua l s , are a nd that many of thetns private principles of Mr. Pl a rr n T n , un a l n i ‘ y l every year th e i r ad tround ti t c o i p c a h t e miratiou of his powers and their gratitude for his exertions, in animating the Potentates of Europe to rouse and resist the ferocious career of Demo cracy, and to restore order and harmony, but more I particularly for his firmness, energy, and perse verance, in su pporting the true principl es o f thel British Constitution, and establishing the security of the State. As, however, the transcendant powers and important services of the illustrious Statesman, were so ably elucidated on Saturday by the. venerable Lon. II GILA NC ELLO rt and Tvlr.

We understand that a Meet of the Members of the House of Lords, favourable to the late measure of ;he Ro man Catholic Relief Bill, took place on Saturday at the house of the Duke of Buckingham, in Pall-Mall. It was attended by almost every Member of the House of Lords who voted in the minority on the late division on the Catholic Question, and by many others who were not present on that occasion. The Duke of Devonshire and Earl Fitzwilliam each proposed a series of re solutions, but we understand that another serious, proposed by the Marquis of Londonderry, was finally agreed to. The adop tion of the Resolutions of the Noble Marquis was owing to the necessity of carrying the measure being expressed in .strongey and more emphatic terms than in the two other series of Ile- , solutions submitted to the Meeting. —(Bt Press.) HARRIETTE WILSON.--A w ork, it seems, is in preparation which, it is said, will fully develope the proceed ings of this AUTO-MooIIAPHIST, containing abundance of her letters to many of the persons ivhorn she has introduced in her Memoirs, by which it will be found that those who came down handsomely were wholly unnoticed, or slightly passed over, but those who had firmness to resist- her demands were exposed to all the force of her obloquy and ridicule. Such a work is really necessary, in order to check, at least, the assassi nation• of character that have disturbed the peace of many in dividuals and families throughout the country. Film—Saturday a ftertioon, about four o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Spratley, larop-contrac mr. bong-acre, which are situate in Rose -street, between New street, Covent-garden and Long.ac re an are sorry to say, that the consequences have been destructive to property of con siderable value. The fire originated in the bursting of a bottle of essential oil, which communicated to' a forge in his smith's shop, from thence to the back premise, of Mr, Rackham, coach maker, Long-acre, and to the hack of the houses occupied by Mr. Page, pawnbroker, anti Mr. Staton, a tailor. When the oil took fire, several men were at work in the Smith's shop. It had stated, that one man who was working at the fore.e, was burnt to death ; but we ar e h appy to learn, that althou gh much injured, hopes are entertained of his life being preserved; and we noticed two men carried to a surgeon's, in B e df or d- street, shockingly burnt, and o ne o f th 7m appeared in a lifeless state. The confusion and alarm that prevailed when the fire broke out, was beyond description. Mothers were seen hastening with their children, to a place of safety. Others were actively em ployed in throwing their goods from the window s into the street. 'At the pawnbrokers there was great consternation • the pro perty was hurled out of the wind ows i nto thestreet, and i the whole was removed before the .back part of the premises', in which it was deposited, caught lire. Three adjoining houses were in a heap of ruins in less than hour. Five houses on the opposite side of Rose-street, were also destroyed ; and the distress occa sioned to the poor inmates, chiefly lodgers with large families; was heart-rending. A number of carriages, which were on the premises of Mr. Rackham, were consumed ; and we learn lie was not insured to the extent of his loss. By seven o'clock, the fire was completely extinguished. ALARMING FIRE —Soon after eleven o'clock last night another tremendous fire broke out in the extensive tallow melting premises of Messrs. Pit or•TirooT, jun. and Co. in Queen-street, Cheapside, at the end next Upper Th ames. street. Owing to the inflammable description of property with which the factory was stocked, the greatest alarm prevailed for the safety of the valuable warehouses and stores that were con tiguous to the fire ; but fortunately by the timely arrival of nearly all the metropolitan engines, assisted by an abundant supply of the opposite element, the flame, were confined to the premises in which they commenced, and before they could be subdued, the whole of the stock in trade; &c. were completely destroyed. The loss is very considerable, b u t we understand the firm is insured. The origin of the fire is not yet ascertained. TIIE RHENISH VINTAGE.—An article in the Frankfort Papers, dated Heilbron, 17 t h m ay, states -that a sharp frost on the night of the 15th had done immense damage to the vines, both its the mountains and in the valleys, - -in that and the e prod r u e Ci v l g a s Ths lol.°greence°rlalPl-ca. t n i e o i t g i h o b r ou a rit s l i g n4 d l i e str: i c ig ts h . t mischief.

THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY extracts . from the Morning Papers, May 30, 1825. [THE TIMES.] There is a certain technical language always used in the House of Commons, whenever ap plication is made for more money for any of the memberS of the Royal Family; which technical language, as is indicated by many a shrug, is ' very much at variance with the feelings of men's ' minds in the House, and espresses a sense totally the reverse of what is felt by the people of Eng ' land upon these very painful subjects. it would certainly be much better to make no settlements whatever upon any of the members of the Royal Family, but to suffer them to come to the Trea sury when they pleased, and to take what .mo ney they pleased, without any account or respon sibility, than to hold out the delusion of settle ments or allowances, which impose no restraint whatever to the lust of expending. This re , mark, however, may be considered as of a gene ral nature. The case of the little Princess of Kent is a peculiar one : she must be educated ; and it may be proper, if the businesS were to commence de novo, that she should be edu cated at the expeuce of the people of England : but what, at the present crisis, then, when we are called upon for that purpose, becomes of the assurance that was given us by the late Lord `Linndonderry, - that Prince Leopold would edu cale her=---that he would perform that fluty which nature impoSed upon him, us the nearest male relative to his sister's child, himself de riving funds, more than ten times adequate, from the people of England ? Is all that he can afford the royal child out of his fifty thousand to year a Christmas or a birth-day present ? If so, we ought not to have been deceived by ostententatious promises, which the present ap plication proves to have been false and hollow. The expence, then, of educatin; the little Prin cess, falls upon us. It is a new burden, at which we must not repine. Neither' do we: we are in dignant only at being deceived. We do not know that frugality is an injurious ingredientin the education of Princes. : Queen Elizabeth never acted with less dignity in her high station becaUse her youth was passed in unexpensive retirement. The truth is, that solid attainments cannot be made is the midst of hustle and splendour. As to the Duke of Cumberland and his young Ascanius, which is now put forth upon us, we can really consider Ibises only a fresh effort to procure thesix thousand a year which has been already twice refused to his Royal Highness. We began, and Shall con clude with a general remark. It Will be. very unadvised and indiscreet in Ministers, and even inthe members of the Royal Family themselves, .-,-now none of them young persons,—to let the people of England feel very strongly the ex pences of Royalty, at a period when republics are .springing up over the world, founded by heroes and patriots, conducted at but small expellee. The advantages of an hereditary monarchy are known and justly estimated only by the philo sophic few : its cost can be summoned up by all. VIE KING, &c.

The briskness that was experienced •in the Wheat trade on Friday has subsided, and only the finest qualities support the terms of this day se'nnight. —Barley for maltingis not now in d eman d, an d . other sorts remain as last quoted. Beans that are dry obtain rather higher prices. Grey Pease are also a trifle dearer. Oats that are dry and sweet meet sale readily at full as good terms as last quoted ; other qualities go Off slowly. In the Flour .trade there is no alteration.

QUIN THE TRAGi.DIAN---This celebrated Actor appears; from the surly but epigrammatic charter of his re.: plies, to have been the Dr. Johnson of the. Stage. A s lip- s l op milliner, at Bath, was detaining him, while buyin g a pair of gloves, with ardent expressions of her desire to s e e hi m make: Quin, love. " M a d a m," slid in his stately manner, " I never ' make lov e ; I a lways bUy it' ready made." Like Most overbearing h a elnqui red whether walking persons-however, he sometimes met . with his m a t c h , where he least expected it. Being once on a visit at Lordll i olm g utese'ss, h eat e , metin th a e isle of of la i b V o i u g r h i t n , g Q n u la in ni los o t f his w h d o o l g n ; he had seen th e d og , a dding, i n a sort of doubting tone, -" I hope you are .honest here."—" Less," answered the Rustic, "webe ; but there be a strange Player-man down at my Lord's mayhap he ma' know o' the dog." t;VE'{P TIM Ell.l • I'fr. Brougham's Bill "to incorporate certain persons for the establishment of a College in - or near London, for the education of ynuth in the Sciences and in Letters," is to be read a second time this evening. Not having seen the Bill' we can say nothing of its details. The motives by 'each the Learned and Honourable Member . is actuated, in bringing forward this measure, are 'evidently most laudable. The desire of extend: iug the empire of science and literature as wide; Cr as, possible, and •of improving the intellectual condition of every class in society, must be felt by every friend of his country and of humanity, and, for our own parts, we are peculiarly anxious to promote the real, substantial, and useful•infOr.= mation of the poor, inasmuch as• we fee! that such a course of proceeding must tend, not only to dignify and exalt their feelings, but to augment the wealth, safety, and true glory of the comma.. nity at large. No man can have cast an atten- tive eye over the history of the last half century, without perceiving that, in almost every part .of the globe, a manifest progress has been made in the adoption of means for enlightening the labour ing classes ; and we are well satisfied that. nothing can effectually arrest that progress, but the injudicious eagerness of those who endeavour' to urge it too rapidly forward. The principal. objection which, in our imperfect information as to the details of Mr. Brougham's Bill, strikes us, as to its principle, is derived from the. simple axiom of political economy, that supply '; and demand should go hand in hand. Is it meat►t by the proposed Bill (we ask for information) to enlarge the supply of persons acquainted with% any, and what particular branches of science or Iliterature ? And if so, can it be shewn that, in those branches, the supply is not already fully, equal to the demand ? Ve are not aware` . that there is in this country, at the present. moment, a sensible deficiency of educated per sons in any one department of useful knoiv- ledge. On the contrary, the usual complaint is, that of toilsome struggle and competition to 014 most successful, and of disappointment and want to the great majority of all who earn their support by the labour of the mind. Is rukt every profession crowded with aspirants for its. honours and its duties ? Is the Law, the Church, the Army, the Navy, meagrely sufficed with Officers of competent skill and ability ? Do we find that there are too few Physicians or Sur- ‘ geons ? Are Architects, Civil Engineers, Sur- veyori, not to be found for the , construction or our public works, or private edifices ? Nobody will assert that this i s th e case . - Well, then,_,; what must be the consequence of adding to the number of conwetitors for employment, in' ~ these various lines ? Why, that the price or :., their labour, where not fixed by.absolute • . enactment,. must fall. We' have obserted this evil carried tb its full extent in Franee,- -, in regard to the art of painting. Soon after the establishment of the Consulate, it became part of the policy of the Imperial Go'vernment to foster the arts, and painting, in particular,•was encouraged by praises, and by the facilities • ~„+~~ ~rt~'' ~~`' 1 ,
