SOLEM QUIS DICERS F4LSU.II AUDEAT Y LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 21, 1821. , w - ii r rile Paris Papers of Thursday and,Friday, r, : ic h reached us this day, contain a variety of Ler esting intelligence ; .but the most important relating to the deplorable condition of Spain, have been anticipated by Madrid Journals which arri ved yesterday, the contents of which will be 1011114 in another column.—A. private letter of the • th, from Madrid, states in addition, that t he atrocious murder of VINUESA was the work of about one hundred individuals, many of whom 'Were unarmed ; and nothing can be more evi tietit than the guilty connivance of the Public An t. - Liorities anti particularly that of the Captain e —he ral, Don RAMON VILALBA, who has been di • Ir nlssed by the KING, and succeeded by Ge ne,,,, MORILLO. It appears that, after having di s th e P a tehed VINUESA, the assassins proceeded to A t Prison in which the Chief of. the Guerillas, p lat .' u Lo, was detained, with the intention of th e - i t 'g him to 'death, but the troops stationed to - t l i e eir Vr 611 eed so determined a spirit of opposition p ru' , l execrable designs, that they thought it r i c ent to re ti re. A t Cadiz, the Public Autho px:r have been compelled by the populace to and imprison several persons of the first disci s • c , ion, among whom are the Bishop. B :verat C anons, Lawyers, and Judges.

The law relative to the auginen i)roLl7.ll of the number of Bishops and an increased ' l si°ll for the Clergy, has almost entirely en ties ss the attention of the Chamber of Depu- S ti C - . We learn from Constantinople, that the exi dine Porte does not feel very easy under the b,„ B tiog state of affairs in the Greek provinces eti g t t the rumours respecting Prince Yrsit-isrt's of uerPrise do not augur favourably for the cause g re re ece. His troops are represented to have 1 11. at disinclination for their work ; the chiefs of ab le are at grea t pains to secur e th e i r vain ‘es in pl aces o f sa f ety, as if they despaired of ce 6 oecess of th e i r own e ff orts, and the baggage ti t "le Prince himself had been sent to the fron ,".

In a preceding column we have given Extracts from the last arrivals of Paris Papers. New Orleans Papers arrived this morning to the 4th April; they do not coutain•anp news of importance. 64 ST. THOMAS, MARCH 28.—His Most Chris tian Majesty's frigate La Gloire, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Baron Dupers, arrived here on Saturday, and on coming to anchor interchanged salutes with Fort Christian. his Excellency landed at the King's wharf at four o'clock, un der a salute from the fort. The La •Gloire sailed on Saturday evening for St. Croix.. Accounts from Curagoa of the 12th March confirm the death of Commodore Auray, at Baranquilla ; the manner of his death is differently reported, which, for the present, Iveforbear to mention." The importance of our Asiatic Possessions, and the honour of the British Arms, induce us this day to give the whole of the Supplement to the London Gazette, containing the last dispatches from India, the substance of which we have al ready presented to our readers. NAPLES.-The intelligence , received from the Continent last week is not.of material import.— The Austrian troops which were returning from Naples, through the POPE'S States are said to have garrisoned Ancona and Bologna. There is not a word of the advance of the Austrian troops into the Neapolitan provinces, and the exploits which the Provisional Government is performing only convince us the more that the Neapolitans ire cot subdued, but that a spirit of Liberty still exists among them, which may finally lead to the liberation of their country. The system of coercion pursued by the Austrians can only tend to exasperate the people, and goad them into acts of desperation and revenge.—People are much easier to be cajoled than forced into mea sures, and we think FERDINAND, if he wi:3hes to return in safety to his capital, should send a pre cursor authorised with power, who, by his con ciliating disposition, could not only make the people satisfied with his administration, but in duce them to submit to whatever constitution he chose to give them. Such, too, should be the measures of the " Holy Alliance," if they are de sirous of allaying that opposition to tyranny which is abroad in the States of the Continent.— Following, however, a different course, we find the Austrians shooting a young man for having arms, flogging men and women for being infected with Carbonarism, and arresting some of the par liamentary deputies, who had remained at Naples ; among others the celebrated orator POERIP.— Several other persons have also been arrested, among whomare BonEw, ex-President; General COLLETTA, ex-Minister of War ; General PETRI NELLI, ex-Governor of Naples; and Gen.V.tatto. —The old King, FERDINAND, has, it appears, fallen sick at Rome ; should he die, will the " legitimates" set his son, the late PRINCE RE GENT, aside, in consequence of h►s predilection for liberal and constitutional principles I This PRINCE has entirely retired from public businesS, and lives at Caserta, about 25 miles from the capital. 'fie is generally believed to have been sincere during the whole period of the revolution, and therefore is a great favourite with the nation. BuoNAPAßTE.—Letters from St. Helena were received on Friday to the 31st March, and at that time the Ex-Emperor was certainly indis posed, but not to such a degree as to cause the slightest apprehension for his life. Her MAJESTY dined yesterday, for the first time, at her house in town, and returned in the evening to Brandenburgh llouse. Yesterday the Earl of LIVERPOOL had an au dience of the KING. Orders have been received at Portsmouth Dock-yard to hasten the equipment of the Royal George yacht, commanded by the Hon. Sir CHARLES PAGET, which, we are confidently as sured, is to convey his MAJESTY to Ireland. His MAJESTY'S interesting visit to that country will follow the august and splendid ceremony of his Coronation, which has been decidedly fixed to take place on the 12th of July. The cost of his IVIAJEST Y'S robes, we are informett, is 30,0001. — (Hampshire Telegraph.) On Saturday Prince LEOPOLD, attended by Sir ROBERT GARDINER, left town for Claremont. The Duke of YORK visited his MAJESTY yes terday. The Duke of,CLARENcr and the Princess Au- GUSTA attended divine service yesterday at the Chapel Royal.

Royal Highness sat in the KING'S private box. The late visit of the Princess AUGUSTA to Woolwichwas for the purpose of inspecting the yacht which is preparing to convey her Royal Highness to Germany &c. to visit her Royal relatives'. The Troya (Venus), Swedish frigate, 48 guns, Lieut.-Col. Count CRONSTREDT, Captain, arrived at Portsmouth on Sunday from Havre, having landed there the luggage of the Swedish Ambas sador to the Court of' France, from Sweden.— Her object in visiting that port is curiosity only ; she will return in a few days to llavre. Permis sion having been given to the Officers to see the Dock-yard, they had that gratification on Thurs day. The Troya has a great number of super numerary' officers on board, for the purpose of practice. The First and Second Captains (the latter holds the rank and title of Major) have been entertained by our Naval and Military Commander-in-Chief (SirJAmts II A wx.r,rs WHIT-.
