Madrid Gat:cites to the 9..Qth ultimo reached us last night, and contain some choice specimens of 'Spanish official veracity. In this country, where we have the best information respecting the new States of South America, the condition of roost of which is denoted so prosperous and triu4quil by our Ministers as to induce them to Corm commercial treaties with Colombia and Mexico, it will hardly be credited that the Gazettes of FERDINAND should delude his people by pretended victories over I.3oLtv,t and with the re -conquest of Peru by the Royalist troop, and the threatened re-subjection of Colom bia and Chili. The accounts in these papers regarding South America are said to be tie- rived from private letters from Now York, dated the 14th ultimo, which we doubt not have been fabricated at Madrid, because 2 C44'W York Papers to time 17th are in town, in which not a word is mentiontul on the subject. '!'lle following is the account of the operations which are said to have terminated in the a lino, , t total destruction of the Colombian army, and which it c give as a Apecimuen : " The Viceroy had arrived with 5,b00 men at Janja, and ardmd the Asia to join four armed vessels, to repair to a place which he had pointed out, at the same time desiring CANTE RAC to advance with his three divisions. MoNXT advanced firm along the coast, but was forced to retreat, with loss of 800 nieri and four guns, because BOLIvAR attacked hint with his whole force, following him full of pride, and immediately dis patching couri ers to I"anama announcing a complete victory ;4.10001 over Royalists ; hut as he advanced too far into the e'"tx7, CANTEitAc, who came by the Sierra, hastened his march, and placed himself on BoLivia's flank ; the latter at tempted to make himself master of sonic eminences to fortify himself there, but was bailled in this purpose, because he was cut oft' in the rear and attacked on the flanks; he, however, effected his escape with a small division and in great disorder, saving in the power of the Royal Army all his artillery, am munition, and baggage, and with the loss of six or seven thousand men. It was thought at Guayaquil that he would not be able to embark ; they do not say whether on account of his being hindered by the fOrces brought by the Asia and the other vessels. It was believed he might perhaps return to Three Dutch Mails arrived this morning, bringing Dutch Papers to the 9th, and pose of ilamburgh to the Ist instant. We have advices from St. Petersburg!' to the 22i1 December, which state that the Neva was frozen in the night of the 17th, the thermometer of 11,E3umutt I).eing eleven degrees below zero ; and since that time the communication with Cronstadt had been restored, and the communications with the interior had commenced. At the srttne time that Petersburgh was inundated, It appears. that Frederickstadt in Norway Rtffered the same calamity, and that all the pro .cMcos on the Baltic were visited by a dreadful I , l 7rr i cane which did great damage to the Forests. "0 Crimea also did not escape the disasters which have befallen the North of Europe.

Itrnssels Papers to the 9th instant arrived also at a late hour this day.

It is as absurd as impolitic and inconsistent in the French Government to object to what may be considered as our virtual recognition of the new trans-Atlantic Republics. Did not France take the lead in recognizing the independence of the United States, without r equ i r i ng th e con curr e nce of Great Britain % The new Republics of South America have actually achieved their indepen dence, and it is evident that they never can again be brought into subjugation by the Parent States. it would have been the best policy of those Pa rent States not to have suffered any other country to take the start of them in submitting to what is inevitable. This would have shewn a graceful ac cordance with the irresistible course of events, which indeed is the progress of time and nature. By such conduct they would have obtained the friend ship of their former dependencies, and the iden tity of language would have secured them a pre ference in all commercial relations. It is folly to talk of the displeasure which the Hour AL LIANct may feel on our recognition, whenever it may be formally given. The HOLY ALLIANCE is viewed with abhorrence, as an attempt to govern all Europe. As to the displeasure 0 . France, it is equally ludicrous. It is ob vious that France did not know how to 'flak e a Proper use of the influence which she must have acquired over the besotted Monarch of Spain, in restoring him to the Throne, or it would have advised him not to persevere in a hopeless contest in itc present exhausted state, but to concede what it cannot recover. France too, instead of presuming to censure the conduct of Great Britain, should follow hrr vise ex ample. The South American People have passed their nan-age, awl are resolved never to be brought back to a state of pupillage (Kid pareuta! tyranny. LOSS OF THE DUTCH COLONIAL SCHOONER. G.' ILYV:3O. BATAVIA, Aim. 21. We have recived so'ms particulars of the loss of his ,Nla jesty's Colonial shooncr the Calypso-, which sailed from Amboyna on the lUtli April with dispatches fur Java. After struggling fur several days with contrary winds, it struck on the 38th, at mid night, on a reef, called by the natives Passeleurzing, about tire miles S.W. by W. from the island of Rosagalet. The ship idling rapidly with water, it was resolved to abandon it. Part of the crew got on board, and part on a raft which they put together, but the latter not being able to keep the raft afloat, returned to the ship ; and those en board the long-boat (which was too crowded to receive any more) promised to send it hack to fetch thein off. This however they were unable to d After driving about for four days, without food and very little water, and assailed by the inhabitants of several so all islands with shot and darts, the long-boat was sur rounded near the island Lusuradie by live vessels of the natives, and the crew being without arms and completely exhausted, taken prisoners by a iiundred of the natives. A f:er having remained twelve days in slavery in the island, they were set at liberty by the intercession of the Rajah of Bone• rate, except three Europeans and six Javanese. Those re leased to the number of ten or twelve Europeans and three Javanese % arrived at Alacassar the 21st of June. We have no accounts of the fate of those who reuiaiued on the wreck. but vessels and agents have been sent to endeavour to save them. It ix said that the numerous and important dispatches which were saved from the wreck were burnt by the natives. MERCANTILE SHIPPING. DP AZ., JAN_.

It is stated in a letter received from an Officer of his Majesty's ship Tamar, 28, Captain GORDON BREMER, C. 8., that the sudden sailing of that ship from England, with sealed orders, in February last, was occasioned by it being determined by Government to colonize Melville Island. The Tamar arrived at the Cape of Good Hope on the sth June, but it being necessary to refit her, she did not leave that place until the 18th of July. She arrived at Sydney (New South Wales) after an excellent passage of 47 days from the Cape, where Captain Bremer hired two transports, and they took on board thirty rank and file of soldiers, and a- number of the most riotous of tl . e convicts, and then sailed for Port Essing ton, in Melville Island, which is in the Gulph of Carpenta7irt, at the North end of New Holland. The Tamar will leave the detachment of Royal Marines, which she embarked at Plymouth, as a garrison at Port Essington. The Tamar after wards proceeds to England, calling at the Presidencies at Cal cutta and Madras for dispatches and mails. Melville Island is well situate for the encouraging of trade and communica tions, with the Malays.--( Portsmouth Paper.)

WlNnsoa, JAN. 9.—His 31AsEsTr, yesterday, after tak ing an airing- for a considerable time in the Great Park, pro ceeded in his pones phaeton through Frogmore and the Little Park to the Castle. His Majesty was accompanied by the Marquis Conyngliam, and others of his suite, who inspected the alterations, which, notwithstanding the obstacles the winter season necessarily presents to out-door operations, have attain ed a degree of forwardness that could scarcely have been ex pected.. The long..projected new gateway. n.yhieh was to open a view from the court-yard to the magnificent scenery of the Great Park, has been completed. It is of the purest Gothic, of a loffness and wi4th proportioned to the majestic building of witch it is now the principal approach. The new entrance tower, flanking this gateway, h a s a lr ea dy attained a consider able elevation ; but the greatest progress has been made in the Beacon and Queen's Towers. An additional story, upon the original model of the edifice, has been added to this part of the building, thereby removing that dwarfish appearance which the so ith and cast sides of the Castle presented, when viewed from' the court-yard. The windows arc surmounted with grotesque heads from the antique. On the east side of the building the same system is pursuing; the round French win dows have be , n replaced by others suited to the original clia rac-er of the edifice, and the internal fitting up of the principal state rooms is in considerable forwardness. His Majesty, after stay•ne at the Castle for about half an hour, returned by the same route to the Royal Lodge. where he dined. His Ma jes.y, this morning, attended Divine Service a t the Royal 1,(d„:e.

TIE I: LONDO N JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers,Jan.lo, 182.5. [nniTisti PRESS.] The Paris Papers of Friday arrived last night. The attention of the French public seems di vided between two principal subjects; the first, and to them most immediately interesting, is the Royalist indemnity, and the collateral measure for reducing the Rentes; the other is the recog nition of the new American States by the British Government. All the new interests that have iseit in France since the Revolution are opposed in principle to the Minister's plan of indemnity to tho Royalist sufferers ; and even the Royalists themselves complain of tin- mode of execution, evidently devised byM.deViliele to render himself for several years to come absolutely master of their fortunes. But as connected with the reduction of the Rentes, the Minister's plan L. attacked with great vigour, and, on his own showing, with , unanswerable force. He represents that. the emi grants are as just and rightful creditors of the State, as the actual stockholders, yet he pro poses to treat them quite differently. To the. latter he offers au augmentatiou of one-third of their capital, on condition of reducing their inte rest from five to three per cent. A stockholder now possessing 100,000 francs at five per cent., will, if he should avail himself of the option given by the proposed law, become entitled to a capital of 133,33 francs at three per cent. His annual income wil', by this operation, be reduced, at the end of the year, from 5,000 to 4,000 francs. He will suffer no suspension of his rights for a-single hour, and though his inconw will be diminished, his principal will be considerably in creased. Let us - now look at the condition of tine emigrant, who, according to the Minister's own representations, is every whit as much entitled to be considered a public creditor as the stock holder himself. Suppose the case of a Royalist, whose estate was worth 1'25,000 francs when it was confiscated ; it would be sold for at least a fifth less than its value ; it is estimated in the registers of sale at one hundred thousand francs, for which he is to receive indemnity as. a public creditor in every respect, standing on the same footing of justice as the stockholder. The emi grant, though he has lost his rents for thirty three years, is to have no increase of his capital, he is to receive only a principal sum of 100,000 francs, bearinz an interest of three per cent. and payable by five instalments year by year. lie must wait till 152.9 before he can obtain the in demnity for his estate, worth 1?-5,000 francs ; and what does he got at last ? 100,000 francs of capital, yielding him an income of 3,000 francs, while the stockholder, who, the Minister says, has no bettor right than the emigrant, will re ceive an immediate augmentation of one-third of his capital : so that he who is now entitled to 100,000 francs of capital, will next year be the possessor of 133,333, yielding an income of 4,000 francs annually. To such attacks as these the French Minister is fairly exposed, and we do not see how he can escape the horns of the di lemma : either the emigrant has not as good a right to be considered a public creditor as the actual stockholder, or the Ministerial projects are unjust. With respect to the recognition of the ' American States, the Royalists affect to hold a high tone, and even to menace England with the displeasure of the Holy Alliance. The Etoils hints somewhat broadly that it will be regarded as a " declaration, not only against Spain, but also against the principles which direct the poli tics of all the Cabinets of Europe." This sen tenee closes with a lofty sound, but it will infuse no fear into our breasts. The British Cabinet has well weighed its duties and its interests. It gave all parties fair warning what it held itself free to do, and it indicated from time to time the approach of the act which has just been formally announced. What had faith can the Allied Ca binets reproach us with ? On the contrary, all has been frank, open, and friendly, not towards the colonies merely, but towards misguided Spain. The Moniteur contains the project of law respect ing sacrilege, to which we alluded a few days ago. This is the great measure to which the French Clergy look for the restoration of their lost power over the people ; but, unless we are wholly mistaken in our estimate of them, it will but increase the alienation that al ready subsists. " Every overt act committed voluntarily, and through the hatred and contempt of religion, on the sacred _utensils, or the con secrated wafers, is declared a profanation ;" and, according to subsequent articles, these offences are in all cases to be punished with death; and w here the consecrated wafers are the objects of " hatred or contempt" the punishment of parri ' aide is to he inflicted, that is to say, the sufferer is to be mutilated before lie is put to death !-- ; Why not propose at .once to burnt him ? Why not revive the punishment as well as the juris prudence of the Inquisition ? But what frightful vagueness in the wording of the law ! All that is requisite under this atrocious project to subject any man, woman, or child to the punishment of death with previous inulilatiou of his body, is the commission of ant overt act of disrespect" througli hatred or contempt of religion." Is it in a coun try calling itself free and enlightened that such a measure is proposed? " Hatred or contempt !" Why, who can define the limits within which any human being can hereafter feel himself safe in France ? A single word may lead to the inflic tion of a protracted and cruel death. But it seems the tolerated sects may be insulted with impunity ; only the Holy Roman Catholic Church is to enjoy the monopoly of glutting her self with the blood of the sacrilegious. [TILE TIMES] The Dale labours under sore mortification and perplexity at the news that England is about to sign treaties with the ‘ 4 insurgent colonies" of Spanish America.; as with Independent and Sove reign States. The 1 rench Journalist cannot de termine whether this is to considered " a politi " cal or a commercial act." We answer, that it is commercial in form, and that in substance it is both, asserting as it does, a high political right to cultivate and secure a great commercial interest. The toile says that it cannot see how the com mercial interest of England would be served by such a tne . asure. W e rep l y, " i t i s enoug h for" our purpowe of England sees," and seizes the disputed for his subjects. Again, the ilut t E tel: i le oi liC ie )e l ii.u4l4fie says thu re c ognition by England from thieigrhet'coug)tatitri:nogo-f would confer no new right on the " insurgent" colonies.

Once more, exclaims this melancholy monarchist—we G' cannot discover" what interest England can have in a recognition of the in surgent States, " since it Would be a dent. ration on her part, not only against Spain, " but also against the principles which direct " the politics of all the Cabinets of Europe." — We can oppose this logic no otherwise than by reminding the Mode, that the United States of North America have long ago set at nought that risk which he here presumes to be an insur mountable barrier to the imputed policy of Great Britain; for the United States haw flown in the face of those principles which direct the Euro pean " Cabinets," by actually recognizing the " insurgent" States. We may likewise recal to the notice of the French Journalist, that Mr. Ca nning did, above a twelvemonth back, renounce and abjure all participation whatever in the poli tics of the Holy Alliance, touching the New Go vernments of America; and did solemnly declare that his Majesty's conduct would be measured ex clusively by a regard to the ittterestsof the United Kingdom, apart from all reference to those of the Monarchs who sought to make him a partner in their own schemes. Moreover, and with sub-1 mission to the Etoil©, the very title by which the British Sovereign holds his crown is in itself a standing manifesto against " the principles" of the Grum European Cabinets ; 'and the flag of Eng land, in whatever sea or port of Europe it shows itself, hoists defiance to that whole code of mo narchical" principles" which would erect the pre rogative of Kings on right divine, and on the ser vility and nullity of nations. [MORNING cneorsicee-] Information was received On Saturday from various parts of the American Continent. From Buenos Ayres the letters are to the middle of October. One of these communicates important news, 'if the next arrivals confirm them. It states that the Government had just received a dispatch from General Canterac in Peru, advising that he . had abandoned the defence of the Spanish cause, and claiming an asylum in the Buenos Ayreau States. This letter was received by an Americus Merchant of the first eminence in the City, and he places the greatest confidence in the correct ness of the channel of information possessed by his Correspondent. The Members of the General Congress were beginning to assemble in the ca pital, the Government was daily increasing i4r moral strength, and perfect tranquillity prevailed throughout the Union. From Upper Peru fa vourable advice; had likewise been received, and in various engagements betwixt the Patriots and the Royalists, the result universally was on the side of independence. From the city of Mexico, the letters are dated on the 13th, and from Al varado, on the 16th November. The former principally are filled with the progress which the great English Mining Associations are making in mining and smelting the precious metals. The Anglo. Mexican Mining Company had made a contract for the celebrated ValencianoMine; and, on the whole,nothing can be more favourable than the information received this (lay respecting these operations. The writer of one of these letters say s, that he had just received a letter from Guayaquil, dated on the 28th Sept. informing him that Gen. Bolivar had positively ga:ned another victory in the end of August over the Royalist Gen Canterac, and had entirely dispersed his army. This news gives much strength to the intelligence received from Buenos Ares, announcing the same event. There had been in Mexico a misunderstanding on some minor points betwixt the Local and, General Congress; but it had been removed before the date of the present ad vices.— From Alvarado the letters contain informa tion equally satisfactory. Many deserters had passed over to Vera Cruz from St. Juan d'Ulloa, and represented the garrison of that fortress to be in a most wretched state. Mutiny aud dis content prevailed amongst the soldiers, and it is not wonderful, for half of them were laid up with the scurvy. Hopes were therefore entertained that it would sul render before long, and that the merchants would again he able to return to Vera Cruz. Since the death of Iturhide, these letters add, that the country continued to enjoy uninter rupted tranquillity, and that prosperity and con tentment were rapidly advancing the happiness of the people. [NEW TIMES.] The Journal des D) bats of Thursday contains an elaborate article on the question of Grecian independence. The writer, who is evidently a man of talent, takes a rapid view of the policy which he supposes to actuate Russia, Austria, and Great Britain, in withholding the recognition of Greece as an Independent State. Russia. (according to him) is not anxious for new terri tory, but she fears to see the Turkish provinces in the hands of a more active Power : Austria is still more fearful of seeing the Russians oc cupying any part of Turkey ; while England, attending only to her mercantile interest, fears alike to displeaseßussia and Turkey by embracing the cause of the Greeks. The author of the article appears to us to have displayed more of ingenuity in speculation than of sound information. Th e question is much more complicated than he de scribes it to be; and the views of England its particular are far more comprehensive. Little doubt can exist but that Greece will even tually cast off the Turkish yoke ; yet it would be premature at the present moment to olaubrikyish"d,ielispootwisem. place, not Greece s o t i i i t l u y te t d h , a G t o ezi l i n t m h i a lt d ha t i ak b e e t e i n esta. a b c a t t a a s w i e f n yet more, to English aid and supp or t : hi s M a j esty's Mi. in o b w iis e h s e m d u c a a ce n do of tphreo
