We' trust that"the South Arne _Staik;.Gtterntneuts have also : their eyes open: to ,sisase.-Frenclumen. who choose to•yisit them. The iss4tiy4l4:ils sent: by the French . Government to South America, are first - named to }fling Ferdi sand, and permission is asked from him-for their residence in dominions in -.South - America. This permission • is-granted in Madrid with all the old formalities, among which is a reference to the Council of the -Indies, -.whose sanction-is also re craisite. The last French Commissioner as ages to' Colombia had his permission register.ld in the areives of the Conacil.4f the Indies at Madrid. !this we can state positively, on the autho rity of an English Gentleman of high respec. tal)ility, who was•in-igadrid six months ago, who speaks from his -own knowledge.—Unr ile-r , these circumstances, the French agents can be looked on•in no othe'r light than double spies of Ferdinand and their own Government. The Covernments . of South America may have'nothing to dread from spies, but it is well that the people Of these countries shoal& be taught to view every Frenchman with suspicion (luring the continu ance of the present connection between France and Spain. It is the more necessary to advert to ibis, because the individuals_sent by the South American Governments to Europe are seldoei proof against the cajolery of the French. At least this is the opinion of those persons in this country who are best acquainted with South American affairs. [BRITISH Pu'Ess.l .. We' understand that the terms of {he new Spank!. loan are settled. As tve stated on Mon. Clay, the bonds are to be recognized at 30, but without., interest. The only question that now remains to be decided, is as to the amount of the loan, the Spanish Government being naturally desirous of obtaining a larger sum than the Eng lish capitalists are disposed to bind themselves to give. - There have been other impediments, not. proceeding from the Spanish Government or the English capitalists, but these art so far considered to be obviated, that the single question at this moment is as to the amount. of the loan. The Contractors, we think, should %veil we►gh what they are doing in this transaction. They of course presume that they know the money market better than we do; but we would advise them not to rely too confidently on the information and influence they may suppose they possess. The admission of the bonds at 30 _is, according to our opinion, much less than the - holders .were entitled toex pect ; and, unless we are widely mistaken, they will not be disposed to approve or sanction the sacrifice which the contractors have thought fit to make of their rights. There can be no doubt that Ferdinand's repugnance to acknowledge the bonds at any rate, was such as his necessities only could have overcome; but when his wants had seduced him to admit that his creditors ought to have justice at all, it would have required but little difficulty to have compelled lusts to have rendered thee► justice in full. The contractors, however, have chosen their course, and they ❑►ust abide the consequences. [NEW TIMEi.I The Paper; which have long been, affrighti - ng us with rumours of Congresses at Alilaq and else where, cow candidly confess that there is no ground for believing that any such occurrence will , take place. They add, ( ; rather unneces sarily) that if a Congress were to be held, and if it wen. tos end in a formal confederacy for &rip specifi c purpose hostile to English policy auk to pub?ic liberty—what then ? Why, that the result would be a victory to justice, and au overthrow of arbitrary power. It needed no ;;host to tell as this. England resisted injustice and arbitrary power from 1793 to 1815, and the result was, that; England triumphed, and so she would agiiil , if she had to 6gloti"ii.siMilar battle.. But there is no suet: prospect now ; there is no linionaparte abroad ; -there is no revolutionary fever for " liberty and equality:;' and though . .. othernatioris may ditrer willety. from us ill poli tical sentiment, Ilene will dare to attack the btil 7 wark - of our Constitution.

There were no stick lers for Spanish' Supremacy more stanch than the Cortes and their officers—no systeM of Colonial policy more exclusive, more coercive, more op •pressive thatk.theirs; which was, in fact, the course of policy prescribed to them by - the na : actual sentiments of the mother country. It is not therefore to friends or fellow-sufferers that this charity is now to ne extended : it is to fallen enemies, to fellow-creatures, naked and hungry, men banished, forsaken, and desolate. Would the Serviles have done as much for Mexican Patriots, had Mexico been subdued, and her defenders proscribed and persecuted ? Have any body of Spaniards, either as politicians or as private members of society, contri buted one• farthing to the relief of those most in tense privations, and most unmerited sufferings, inflicted upon their wretched countrymen, whom Ferdinand's personal baseness, and the tierce rancour of his advisers and instruments, have driven,to the only asylum in Europe whence they were•fiot sure of being unmercifully expelled ? We congratulate the Mexican people on this evi- 1 deuce of their public and their social virtue. 1 r:rtir PUBLIC LEDGER.] The Turks have commenced opeiations, both by sea and land, this year, much earlier, and with an appearance of greater vigour, than -usual. Their fleet, consisting of seventy sail, under the orders of the Captain Pacha, has actually put to sea, as may be seen from the subjoined extract of a private letter, received yesterday by a very respectable house in the City. The same letter, which is dated Zante, March 12, puts to rest the much-contested point respecting the arrival of the Egyptian Expedition in the Nlorea. It will be seen, in the official account which the Greek Government has published,—(See another Column of THE SuN,)—that the merit is claimed of having repulsed the invaders.— We are very sorry to say that our advices, which are two weeks later, do not support this claim. Ibrahim Pacha himself was with the troops who had landed, and who are estimat ed at between six and seven thousand men. There is a circumstance mentioned in our advices, which we wish to see disproved, but of which we have very little hopes, knowing the rigid accuracy of our informant : he states, that Patrass was still blockaded by sea, but that no Greek land force had, yet approached the place. The latter par of the s►atement would chew such a degree of apathy, and indeed, culpable neglect, on the part of that people, that no time should be lost in contradicting it if false ; and, if this cannot be done, they-ought, by their subsequent activity, to repair as much as - possible the effects of their extraordinary remissness. rSIOIIN !NG P041' 7 3 . . . . The Inaugur - al Address of ti-e present Pre aim dent of the 'United States, has little interest for the . people of this country. It relates almost exclusively to the local politics of the Union, and the state of parties, in that federate, Republic, previous and subsequent to the last war. The J)raises bestowed by Mr. Adams uPon the con. stitution of his country, whether deserved or not, are natural—and we .freely confess, that to the present circumstances of the United States, the existing mode of Government may be tolerably well adapted. But the defects of that system, and its frailty, at .critical conjunctures, are implied throughout in Mr. Adams's Inaugural discourse. It is impossible not to see that even the President himself is aware of the ilinisy and precarious Bond of Union which connects the several States, scattered over a whole Continent into a pseudo-consist en t p ermanen t co n federacy. If the late war connected the interests of the Union, another war may loosen, Perhaps dis- , solve a compact, which-is allowed to depend on temporary - feelings. There is only' one ha rt of the Add ress which has a general bearing worth noticing --and that only for the edification of Mr. flurn and statesmen of his stamp. Mr. Adams, adopt.. ing the policy of his predecessor, asserts the tie.; cessity of providing, during peace, the means of defensive war, as the surest means of:preventing aggression and hostility. Our Scotch.eeonomist would follow an opposite course—he would emas: 1 culate. the military and naval power of the British Empire ; :and, adverse as we are, in,principle and conduct to all the rest -of Europe, .he would leave our freedom; our commerce, every thing dear and valuable we possess,. at the . mercy of . the - first military despot , of the Coritinent wbo chose to sound the tocsin, and attack our independence. MK. Adams's address is.the best, or, at leasOhe most ambitiously written M'essagei which we,„recollect to have been, delivered to the North American : Congress.- 7 -The American Pa. pers : antioUnce the arrival at the Ifavannah' of upwards of 2060- Spanish troops ; but eye are ha.. clined to doubt the accuracy of this statement.-- The. dead and headless. _bodies lately stated to have. bee-ti washed ashore at Cu racoa are supposed to hay.e, been the crew of an American ship which had fallen into the hands of the pirates. . , irriORNIVG FIE(tAL.I)...I PU.illl( or popular education midoubtedlY has made, and is making,; prodigious way. There will soon be nothing, in even manual labour and ; the Common arts of life, which carrhe called illite. fate. The propagators of learning, however, seem, like :inost other great conquerors, to have a.certain .grasping appear. to stretch and inordinate ambition. - They their views too fat--to calculate too •sanguinely. their force of arms, and even to show, souie disregard to other; and - independent interests. . It -should be observed- here, 'in that these observations—sogge'st (4 by a partic4.las Dr+ct,--a re mere I y- •tintritv - m - oat- with '- Out -ati:.ab4olute confidence in {well founded. The proj.ct ig pne, whikAt should- ., not be hastily judged. it is said . to be patronized by some of the ablest and most estimable men, in the • country; it is inculcated 'with zeal approMiug to enthusiasm, by a . most' accomplished scholar and eminent poet, and its influence, beneficial or injurious on the community„ „ must be highly important. But the sug g es ti o ii of doubts only leads to discussion, whit') is the surest or the only path to truth. The design in question is that of creating a great Metropolitan Univer sity. We assume that the intention is to esta blish a University in London which shall confer diplomas, degrees in arts, possess certain fran chises, and, in fact, be on a level with those of Oxford and Cambridge. Now, in the first place, it is avowed that scientific education is the great object—to recruit not what are called the learned professions, but those various occupa tions that are contradistinguished from them. But it is a property of scientific investiga tion—whether abstract or experimental, that it is pursued as well out of a University as in it. He who has the vocation will pursue it in either case, and the mere routine of academic lectures would make him who has not the instinct and capacity merely a smatterer. In the next place, will not this establishment of a Uni versity in the Metropolis cause a serious, and perhaps ruinous desertion from manual or han dicraft occupation ? Is not there this objec tion also, that it would create two classes of academically educated persons—the aristo cratic and plebeian which would destroy the graceful ascendancy which an academical educa tion actually possesses, and the sentiment of social equality which it produces. But above all, is not London the very last place which should he chosen for the seat of a University ? True it is, the capitals of some other countries have Uui versities, but they either have no resemblance, as that of Paris, to ours, or their examples are against them. In the great cities of Germany the Universities are nuisances, from the vices, and the organized mal-practices of the students. The characteristic morality of our northern neigh bours, perhaps, renders the existence of their Me tropolitan University innocuous to the students and the inhabitants. But in Dublin we have heard that it is, or at least it has been, widely different There the University flanks the capital, or forms part of it, ana the consequence is, that dissipa tion of the most pernicious kind—scenes of noc turnal riot and debauchery—are of ordinary occurrence. It is said to be a standing subject of regret amongst the heads of that University, that it was not founded at a distance from the capital. But perhaps this project, like many others, will continue as it is, to exist only in nubibus. SILK TRADE.—By the official returns, printed by the order of the House of Commons, it appears, that in the year ending on the sth of January last, the quantity of raw silk imported into Great Britain was 3,047,70531b5., of which 1,047,640 : fib5. came from Prance, 1,307,300.3-If:lbs. from the East Indies and China, 334,4441b5. from Italy, and 1118,3971b5. from Turkey. During the same period, 334,233.11b5. of thrown silk were imported from Italy, and 4lelbs. from France. There were, also, llb. of thrown silk imported front Spain, and 1 1 . -16th lbs. from Malta. The total quantity of silk, raw and thrown, imported during that year was .3,382,357 10-16th lbs. The total amount of drawback paid on raw anti thrown silk, and on manufactured silk goods, was 472,255/. 18s. ed. PUTNEY BRIDGE.—.By the account rendered to Parliament, it appears, that the amount of dividends paid to the shareholders of Putney Bridge, during the last eleven years, averages about 4,3471. LUNATICS.—By a return made to Parliament, it appears that the number of houses licensed for the reception of Lunatics in 1822, was 43. • in 1823, 44 ; and in 1824, 47 ; and the number of lunatics con-tined in them during the first of these years was 1,725 ; and during the two last, 1,727. PRIDE OF ANCESTRY.---All anecdote is related of Mr. PitoGEa, of Werndee, in Monmouthshire, which ex hibits the pride of ancestry. in a striking point of view. The house, which had lately been repaired for the tenant, was in such a state of dilapidation, . that the father of the last proprie tor, Mr. Proger, was in danger of perishing under the ruies of the ancient mansion, which he venerated even in decay. A stranger whom he accidentally wiet at the foot' of the Skyrrid, made various inquiries respecting the country, the prospects, and the neighbouring houses,and among others,asked, Whose is this antique mansion before us?" "That, Sir, is Werndee, a very ancient house ; for out of it came the Earls of Pem broke, of the first line, and the Ea r ls . of Pembroke of the second line ; the Lords Herbert of Cherbury ; the lierberts of Coldbroke, Rumney, - Cardiff, and rork ; the Morgans Of Ac ton the. Earl of Hunsdon; the Jones's of Treowen and La narth and all the Powells. Oat of this house also, by the female line, carne the Duke of Beaufort." " And pray, Sir, who lives. there now ?" " I do, Sir." " Then pardon me, and accept . a piece of advice : come oat o f i t yourse lf , ' or you ' ll soon be buri ed in the ruins Oft." CHARLES XII. of SW E DEN, in his youth, was given to el:re:is in wine. :One morning he had drailk copiously before he, set out a hunting, and the effects had not gon e o ff w h en h e retur n e d from the chase, splashed with .. mud, and stained with the blood of a deer that had been killed.— In this state, he appeared at the dinner table of the Queen, his grandmother, and as she began to scold Itiin for it, he started up suddenly,. and his spur being entangled in.the table cloth, the dishes were thrown. into her lap. -11 e, however, de. parted abruptly ; but presented himself the next day at dinner-time,' when . the Queen again re• preached him severely. Charles, thereupon, arose deliberately, 111,1e,d a - large goblet of wine, and drank:it - off,.saying • -to,her Majesty, that as that liquor had once made hips forget the respect due to her, he would ite'.v-e — r touch it again in the whole course of his . life.j' This promise he pre served inviolate.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. • COURT , OF CHANCERY, APRIL 13. MARSH, STACEY, AND Co.'s BANKRUPTCY. EX-PARTE STONE-RESUMED. Mr. )lostTAGuE addressed the Court on behalf of the estate of the bankrupts, in opposition to the application of the trustees of the 17,400/. stock sold-out under a power of attorney forged by the late Mr. Fauntleroy, in which he contended that the pe titioners could not claim through forgery ; they could not waive the forgery and elect to proceed for the civil injury. , They were not demntfied, he said, as they had a clear claim upon the Bank of England for their,stock, Winch had been settled by .the case of " Davis v. the Hank of England ;" and this was a mere question between the creditors of the Bank of England and those of Marsh, Stracey, and Co. both innocent parts, but it was a loss which w ou ld ha r dly be felt by the former, whilst it might ruin some of the latter. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied. He contended that no case of felony could be posthumously brought forward; and if this debtwas to be mimed by crime, the crime must he proved. With respect to the money having been applied to the purposes of Marsh and Co., the fact was, amply proved by the circum stance of the broker who had effected the transfer, debiting the house with only one-half of the usual brokerage. This, in his mind, was - an indisputable proof th a t th e t ra n sact i on -ha dl refer ence to the whole firm. The LORD CHANCELLOR began by observing, that when previous to the holidays he had consented to the present appli cation being brought forward, he had been actuated by the con sideration that a great body of creditors were concerned inhav ing an immediate division of "the bankrupt's property ; and in the next place, if it should turn out that the inquiry into the facts and the law ought to be before another tribunal, the sooner such an investigation took place the better; therefore in apologising to the other suitors whose causes might, by the preference given in the present instance, have been de ferred, he could not avoid saying, and he *spoke before Gen ' tlemen who would do him the justice of adMitting the cor-. rectness of his statement, that he devoted as much .of his time and attention to the general interests of ,tbe suitors as it was possible for him to do ; but it must have been evi dent that for a great many months there had been such a vas riety of applications. for injunctions relating to Canals, Joint Stock Companies, and other matters, requiring th e imm e di a t e attention of the ourt, that although not regularly employed, yet he had not been idle; on the contrary, - he had disposed of matters of no great importance and difficulty, and occupying as much time as any question which had been discussed since this Court had at. With respect to the present ease, the sim ple question was, whether the petitioners had any right to prove under the bankruptcy, and that depended, as he had already observed, upon the question whether the money had been applied to the use of the firm of Marsh and Co. of which application they were cognizant. His Lordship then re capitulated the facts of the case, and the circumstances under which the fraudulent and felonious transfer of this property was effected, and having done so, and adverted to the doctrines con tained in the case of " Davis v. Bank of England," said he should take a bolder step than any Chancellor had ever done, or even, than he had ever done himself, and he believed he had de cided more cases than any of his predecessors, without that as sistance that he had a right to call for, andif he decided this case without sending it to trial before another jurisdiction, lie was the more particularly called upon not to venture upon a de cision on his own authority, when he reflected that the judg ment of the Court of Common Pleas was to • undergo revisal in consequence of a writ of error having been brought for the pur pose of obtaining the opinion of a superior Court. Upon these and a variety of other grounds to which his Lordship had re ferred, it appeared to him that this was a question which was but to be decided by an issue, the terms of that issue to be, whether the houscof Marsh,Graham, and Co. were at the time of issuing the commission against them indebted to the trustees, Stone, Galiagan, and Fauntleroy, in any, and what sum of money ; at the same time directing that upon the trial of such issue the trustees might attend, or decline to attend as they shotild think fit. If it occurred to the Learned Counsel that the matter could be put in any better way, it was his wish that they would inti mate their views to him when he next came into Colin; but es at present advised, the strongest inclination, of his opinion was, that what he had suggested was the most proper Mode of bring ing this question to an ultimate decision. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, APRIL, 33. WALTON v. GREEN. , This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who keeps a lodging-house in Pitt-street, Fitzroy-square, for one year's board and lodging of the defendant's wife. The defence set up was that the lady in question was a loose character. Mrs. Kirby, the daughter of the plaintiff, proved the oecu pation.—Cross-examined by Mr. BROUGHAM—Who are you, Mrs. Kirby, you are not a widow ?—No.—What is your hus band ?—(After some hesitation and becoming blushes)—A liar lequin.—Oh ! a harlequin, a clown, where ?—At'the Adelphi. _What is your father ?—A sculptor.—A sculptor, you say ; that is what we call, in common prose, a mason,' a dealer in stones.—Re-examin e d by Mr. SCAR LETT—Did you ever se any improper conduct in Mrs. Green ?—Never. Mrs. Quinan-and. Miss E. Quinan deposed that Mrs. Green was a very proper person.

How often have you seen Mrs. Green ?—Cannot take upon myself to say exactly. Three or four times, perhaps?— Cannot say exactly ; cannot speak to more than three times. And how long did you see her at any of these times ?—Perhaps half an hour. And during this time said Mr. Brougham, with a leer that shook the Court with laughter, and during these - three long half hours you saw nothing indecent in Airs. Green's conduct ? —The witness tittering with - a nascent emotion of laughter re. plied, no. . .

Brougham gave another of what Mr. Scarlett.called his queer looks, and the peculiar situation of the two Learned Gentle. men and the pretty witness, brought-down a continued burst of laughter from the whole Court, which was at length silenced by the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in a due solemn manner, say ing, let the young woman stand down. 0 f ' a l dvarietyse ttlement o f evidence or y li n e a maintenance ; ex t! c s u p t e l a o k n Green's character and cleineanour.
