S OLE :ft QUIS DICEItE Frfl-SUM AUDEAT lA)NDON, W EDNESDAY EVENING, FEB. 2, 1825. We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday. Some of the Ministerial Journals mention a re port that news, unfavourable to the continuance of the general peace, had been received from the Courts to which communications had been sent relati ve t o the recognition of the South American States by England. We are not at all appre hensive that the peace of Europe will be disturbed : •and we have reas o n t o beli e v e that the Continental Powers will not in any way interfere with the policy of our Government in regard to those States.— The avowed Ministerial Journal, the Eloik, makes no allusion to this news, but simply de clares, that it believes there is no foundation whatever for the assertion, that the King of the Ni Ptherlands is about to negociate treaties of commerce with all the South American Bt ates• The conduct of that Government, however in sending Commissioners to South America, and the language held by those Com missioners clearly sinew the nature of its inten tions ; and there is little doubt but the Govern ment of the Netherlands will at no distant period imitate the example of this country. Reason hig upon the possibility of any hostile mea sures on the part of the Holy Alliance and Prance against England on account of her re cognition of South American Independence, the C onstilutionne/ says, that it is only by uniting to dispute with England the empire of the sea, which gives the dominion of the world, that the Holy Alliance can inspire this country with terror. The Journalist then endeavours to spew that we are fully prepared for the contest. " Dreading this union", he says, " England has excited rival ties on the Continent. She cannot see without dis quietude the powerful league formed by the Sove reigns who have conquered by her intrigues and her gold : she must know that chimerical fears do not conceal real projects, and that sooner or later a great and noble ambition would endea vour to wrest from her the means of her power, which seems created only to injure the rights of all nations. When she saw the developement of this alliance, however, she took courage, and while it was performing the duty of Police Mi nisters of the old Continent, she promoted the emancipation of the New. She has thus pro fited by the time which was lost by Congresses in keeping people in slavery, instead of stipu lating for their liberty and interests. Her re serve and her protestations against the prin ciple of our armed interference in the affairs of Spain must have made her policy vi sible as to her future designs. By our triumph in Spain, we have separated Spain from her Colonies, and have promoted the views of England. The Cabinet of London on this occasion acted with frankness and did not d is- AMERICAN PAPERS. CONGRESS—IN SENATE, MONDAY, JAN.. 3. Mr. S3l/111, 1. 7 . 0 m the Joint Committee appointed to an nounce to Gent: .1 La Fayette the passage of the Act in his favour, and to request his accfptance of the provision made for him, reported to the Senate a copy of an Address of the Com mittee to the General, and his reply : GENERAL. LA FAYETTE'S REPLY. _"Washington, Jan. 1, 1825. " Gentlemen of the Committee of both Houses of Congress, " The immense and unexpected gift, which, in addition to former and considerable bounties, it has pleased Congress to confer upon me, calls for the warmest acknowledgements of an old American soldier, and adopted son of the United States-- two titles dearer to my heart than all the treasures of the world. " However proud 1 am of every sort of obligation received front the people of the United States, and their representatives in Congress, the large extent of this benefaction might have created in my mind feelings of hesitation, not inconsistent, I hope, with those of the most grateful reverence. But the so very kind resolution of both Houses, delivered by you Gentle men, in terms of equal kindness, precludes all other sentiments but those of the lively and profound gratitude of which, in re spectfully accepting the munificent favour, I have the honour to beg you will be the organ. " Permit me also. Gentlemen, to join a tender of my affec tionate personal thanks to the expression of the highest respect, with which " I have the honour to be " Your obedient servant, " LA FAYETTE." On Tuesday, the Bill to Abolish Imprisonment for Debt, was ordered to a third reading. MISSOURI AND MEXICO. Mr. Benson presented a statement of facts from Mr. Augus tus Storrs, of New Hampshire, in relation to the origin, present state, and future prospect of trade and intercourse between the Valley of the Mississippi, and the internal provinces ofMexico, which was ordered to be printed and referred. Mr. S. has been one of a caravan of eighty persons, one hun dred and fifty-six horses, and twenty-three waggons and car riages, which had made the expedition .from Missouri to Santa (of New Mexico), in May and June last. Ilis account was full of interest and novelty. It sounded like romance to hear of caravans of men, horses, and waggons, traversing with their merchantlize the vast plain which - lies between the Mis sissippi and the Rio del Norte. The story seemed better adapted to Asia than to North America. But, romantic as it might seem, the reality had already exceeded the visions' of the wildest imagination. The journey to New Mexico but lately deemed a chimerical project, had lately become an affair of ordinary occurrence. Santa Fe, but lately the Ult;ma Thule of American enterprise, was now considered as a stage only in the progress, or rather, a new point of departure to our invincible citizens. Instead of turning back from that point, the caravans broke up there, and the subdivisions branched off in different directions in search of new theatres for their enter prize. Some proceeded down the river to the Pussy del Norte, sonic to the mines of Chihuahua and Durango, in the province of New Biscay ; some to Sinora and Sinatoa, on the Gulf of California; and some, seeking new lines of communication the Pacific, had undertaken to descend the western slope of our Continent through the unexplored regions of the Multnomah and Buenaventura. The fruit of this enterprise, for the pre sent year, amounted to 190,000 dollars in gold and silver I bullion and coin, and precious furs ; a sum considerable in it self, in the commerce of an infant State, but chiefly deserving a statesman's notice as an earnest of what might be expected from a regulated and protected trade. The principal article given in exchange is that of which we have the greatest abun dance, and which has the peculiar advatage of making the cir cuit of the 7nion before it departs from territories of the Re public—cotton—which grows in the south, is manufactured in the north, and exported from the west. LA FAYETTE DINNER. WAsittNoToN, JAN. 3. According to previous arrangements, the dinner given by the Members of both flouses of Congress to General La Fa yette, took place on Saturday, the Ist of January. .t six o'clock the company, in number exceeding two hundred, sat down to a sumptuous and elegant dinner. Mr. Gaillard, the President pro tempore of the Senate, and Mr. Clay, Speaker of the I louse of Representatives, presided at the feast. On the r:g it of the President of the Senate, sat our venerable Chief Magistrate, the President of the I Tnited States, who graced by his presence as a guest, the most memorable feast that has ever taken place in this country. On the left of the Chair sat the Nation's Guest, supported by several of his brethren of the Revolution, among whom were recognized General Samuel Smith, General Jackson, Mr. Rufus King, and Messrs. Chan dler and Pc 'dolt, of the S(.nate, and General Utlree of the House, and a great number of distinguished persons. Among the invited guests were also recognized General Dearborn, our late Minister to Portugal, George Wachington Ids Fayette, and Genetal's friend, Mr. Lasseur ; also Generals Scott, Macomb, Bernard, and .Jessup, of the army; ;all Commodores Bain bridge, Tingey, Stewart, and Morris, of the navy. On the htalth of the President of the United States being given, the President rose and said-- I cannot but be deeply af fected by the generous sentiments which you have expressed in favour of my conduct, in the high trust which I have so long held from my country. In our respectability abroad, and pros perity at home, no one can take a more profound interest titan I do. It is to the virtue and intelligence of our tellow-citizens that we owe this success, and I see in it the most decisive proof of the excellence and stability of our Republican Institutions. That I have exerted my best faculties in a long course of public service to support these Institutions, and to promote the welfare and happiness of our Union, is most certain. To receive this public acknowledgement, from so distinguished an assembly, on an occasion so highly interesting and honourable to the na tion, affords me a gratification which I shall for ever cherish." The health of the illustrious guest was given in the following terms : " (;eneral La Fayette, the great Apostle of rational liberty, unawed by the frowns of tyranny, uninfluenced by the blan dishments of wealth, and unseduced by popular applause—the same in the Castle of Ohnutz as in the active scenes of his la bour and the height of his renown." When this toast was drank, General La Fayette rose and said—" Gentlemen of both Houses, I want words to express the respectful and grateful sense I have of all the fovours and kindness you arc pleased to confer upon me. I hope you will do justice to the warm feelings of an American heart; and I beg leave to propose the following toast : = Perpetual union among the United States : it has saved us in our times of danger—it will save the world." In the course of the evening Mr. Clay proposed— " General Bolivar, the Washington of South America, and the Republic of Colombia." As soon as this toast had been drunk, the President and the General retired ; and the company soon afterwards separated at an early hour, greatly delighted. The entertainment began and ended without the occurrence of a single circumstance to mar the pleasure of a celebration, which, in all its circumstances, can hardly admit of a parallel. A letter from Rochfort announces the ar rival of the French frigates Circe and Are thusa from Cadiz, with discharged soldiets on board. The first is going to Toulon, and the second, it is said to Cadiz. The Magistrates have caused to be seized in the residence of Messrs. BESSON and PAssoT, several small boxes with false bottoms, containing indecent pictures, and others effigies of BUONAPA RTE. SIR BENJAMIN IlLoomFm.D.—We have just heard that this Gentleman, who is now our Am bassador to Sweden, has received from our Go vernment, by special order from his MAJESTY, the honour of a Scotch Peerage. This circum stance, if true, is a proof of the kind re membrance of the former kindness of his MA . J EST Y, as well as a testimony of the propriety of his conduct at the Court of Stockholm, where he is held in high respect and favour. Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs. Among the Ministers present were— The Lord Chancellor, the Earls of Liverpool and Bathurst, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Canning, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Viscount Mr. Wynn, &c.

Sir Thomas Lawrence directed the disposition of them. This beautiful pile is in line with the Earl of Cassillis's mansion, and adjoins Pembroke House, in Privy-Gardens. There is a magnificent terrace of stone next the Thames, and a double garden. CHORAL FUND. Monday evening the Musical Society, called the Choral Fund, had their Annual Benefit Concert at the English Opera House, which attracted a very crowded and elegant audience.

Ttu: NEw Iltmr.r.T.—The papers have been of late much occupied with accounts of this newly discovered treasure, it being an edition of Shukspeares Hamlet, of the date of 1603, 4t0., totally unknown to all the editors of our Immortal Bard. The lovers of the drama are indebted for the discovery of the literary treasure, to the " LIBRARY COMPA. N ION" of the Rev. Mr. Dibdin ; who, in noticing the early editions of Shakspeare's plays, had occasion to observe that the earliest known edition of Hamlet was of the date of 1604. The new literary gem was discovered in the library of Sir Harry Banbury, entirely in consequence of this notice. It is now in the possession of Messrs. I'ayne and Foss. The above-mentioned copy descended from Sir TuomAs lIAN3mt to the BUNBURY Family, and was probably purchased by that Gentleman after he had published his Edition of SttAxseEmtE. THE LATE MR. KEMBLE.—It is due to the memory of the late Mr. KEM LIGE, and a just tri bute to his critical sagacity, to state, that though he had not seen or knew of the existence of the early copy of hamlet, he had revised the common editions with so much judgment, as to exclude all those interpolations which appear to have Ibeen obtrusions upon the original text. The latest accounts from Pernambuco are of the 18th of December. At that period every thing was perfectly tranquil. Lord COCHRANE was at Maranham, all the differences with the Governor having been settled ; but the details have not reached this country. The following is an extract of a letter from an eminent French house, dated Paris, Jan. 29 :- " The Spanish Charge d'Affaires proceeds this evening for London, in consequence of an express from Madrid. Great importance is attached to this mission." Letters have been received from St. Domingo, dated December 21. Trade continued in a very depressed state, on account of the unfounded alarm of invasion ; but it is stated in one of the l e tt er s, that if we in Europe are satisfied that this alarm is without foundation, shippings may with great safety be made, as very little activity would take off the stock which is now upon the market. semble its projects, but our Ministers, judging by 1 themselves, did not suppose it sincere. Mr. Can ning has pursued his course, telling them " I have not deceived you." Our troops covered Spain, in sulted by England on a principle and a right we took up arms to maintain. In the presence of our bayonets, England disavowed them ; and in spite of our forces and our guarantee she des pises them. The conquest of Spain, attempted twice by France within ten years, has been both times ruinous. Under Napoleon we were obliged to leave it ; and now an equal disaster is caused by being obliged to stay in it. England, which rules in the Netherlands and Portugal, shuts us in like the Holy Alliance. She has more than '2O millions in our Funds, and may ruin our finances and our credit by selling her Stock. Immense speculations are made at Paris on the supposition of a general peace con tinuing, and never did the world contain more elements of discord and war. These are the fruits of our adherence to the Holy Alliance, and of the policy of M. de Villele." The Report of the Committee of Peers on the disgraceful and inhuman law respecting sacrilege, has been presented to the Upper Chamber, and a clay appointed for its discussion. It is said that M. de CHATEAU BRIAN) will oppose it ; and the Constitutionnel, in communicating the rumour, observes,—" We believe it without hesitation : no project can be more contrary to the Genius of ChristianitN ;" alluding to the prin ciples contained in the Noble Peer's celebrated work bearing that title. An article from Hanover mentions that a Con vention has been concluded between Ilis MA JESTY'S Hanoverian Government and the I)uke of BuusswicK, settling the sovereignty in cer tain debateable lands, which have for many cen turies been the subject of discussion and dif ferences : HANOVER, JAN, 15, A convention has been lately concluded with Brunswick, for the rectification of the frontiers, and fixing the right of sove reignty over certain tracts. The Court lawyers had propa gated, for many centuries, territorial differences, as they styled them, between the two branches of the House of Brunswick. In the 16th century an attempt was made to put an end to them, and a convention was actually con cluded respecting a considerable part of this frontier line; but instead of being carried into execution and completed, it was disputed and buried in the archives. Meantime the dis puted districts were taken possession of by vagabonds of all kinds ; forests, forty thousand acres in extent, were hewn down by thieves and converted into bare wildernesses, and the districts where the Sovereignty was unsettled was like the Poet's Paradise, without laws, without taxes, and without soldiers. A similar confusion of frontiers subsisted with II il desheim, which ended indeed on the Hanoverian side by the union of Hildeshehn with the Kingdom, but increased the ancient differences with Brunswick by the newly ac quired frontier of Hildesheim, and added to the dif ficulty of arranging them. The common interest of the Princes, so closely related by the ties of' consanguinity and that of their dominions, made an arrangement highly desirable : the proposal was made by this Government, and was most willingly acceded to by Brunswick. The negociation has been concluded in much shorter time than might have been expected. It accu rately fixes the frontier line, and goes on the principle, that every thing within the frontier is subject to the sovereignty of the State on whose side of the line it is. The Convention is already ratified by his Majesty the King, and sent front hence to the Brunswick Commissioner, Mr. Von Bulow, with an elegant gold snuff'-box, ornamented with the Royal Cypher and Crown in diamonds. The Hanoverian Ple nipotentiary, Counsellor Von Blun, unfortunately died before the business was concluded.—(Al!genze2a.:! Jan. 26.) New York Papers to the Bth nit arrived last night. There is nothing interesting in their contents. Ait arrival from Caraccas confirms a report of the proclamation of martial law in Ve nezuela by General PA EZ, which is supposed to have been issued under an impression that an at tack on Colombia w.is meditated by France. The Annual Treasury Report of the United States a ppears at length in these Papers, and this financial statement, the outline of which was given in the PttEstnENT's speech, is in all respects satisfactory to the American patriot. Mr. CRAW.' sonn calculates that all the United States' Debt will he redeemed by 1835. The Marquis LA FAYETTE continued to receive the most gratify ing marks of attention from the Legislativel3odies, and the heads of the Executiveassembled a tWash ington. On the lst of January, the Marquis was treated to a dinner given by the Members of both Houses of Congress, and presided over by the head of the Senate, and the Speaker of tha House of Representatives.(See another Go lumn.)—On the right of the Chairman sat the Pit.r.st DENT of the United States, and on the left the 6 ' Nation's Guest," as LA FAyErre is called, who must have been more than gratified in such an assembly to have heard the first toast—" The " day which exhibits the Patriarch of Liberty " surrounded by his brethren, and in the midst "of his children." On the 3d, two days after this entertainment, " the Patriarch" must have been no less gratified to have received the act of the same Congress, conferring upon him the means of enjoying similar splendour every day of his life—namely, 200,000 dollars, and a large THE ARMY.

LOSS OF THE SPRING GROVE, SOUTH SEAMAN. Extract of a letter from Mr. Vt'illShire, agent to Lloyd's at Mogadore, dated 13th Dec.:— " —I beg leave to communicate to you, for the informa tion of the subscribers to Lloyd's, the unfortunate loss of the ship Spring Grove of London, Capt. Wm. Hughes . , on this coast, to the northward of Sallee, on the 23d tilt. By letters re ceived from Capt. Hughes up to the 9th inst. I learn, that thy. Spring Grove was bound to the South Seas on a whaling voyage. The vessel went to pieces soon after she struck on the beach, and of consequence only a small proportion of tackling, whaling apparel, &c. has been saved, and two of the crew perished in at tempting to get on shore. Mr. and Mrs. Hughes and the re mainder of the crew (29 in number) are now residing at Sleet., but, in the course of two or three days, I expect they will be conveyed to this town. I beg further to inform you, that I have dispatched an express messenger to the Emperor, to request that he will give orders to the Governor of Saffee, to deliver into my possession the papers saved front the wreck. As soon as his Majesty's orders are received to that effect, I shall take the re quisite steps for the benefit of the interests of all parties con cerned. (Signed) " To John Bennett, Esq."

The dispute between the proprietors of cotton works and their spinners is at last terminated, with the un conditional acceptance of the master's terms. It has lasted twenty weeks, and has occasioned a deficiency in the quantity of yarn to the value of 200,000/. The spinners, in whose cause the dispute was maintained, amount to about 650, whose weekly wages when employed would reach nearly 1,0001. Their total loss is therefore about 20,000/. But along with these there were unemployed piercers, preparers of cotton, smiths, *rights, land other tradesmen, to the number of nearly 6,000, whose loss cannot be set down at much less than 45,000/. Here therefore is a defalcation in wages of 65,000/. ; and if it be supposed that the persons who incurred this part of the loss contrived to live upon half their usual income, there will still hang over them debts exceeding 30,0001.—( Glasgow Chronicle. ) GLOUCESTER WIIIG CLUB.—On Monday lasi, being the anniversary of the birth-day of the late Right Hon.
