best spirit, and they themselves ready to follow and exterminate the rebels with their troops. — Another favourable circumstance was, that the Archbishop, the Conde de La-Cortina, the Muni cipality, &c, delivered to the Viceroy the letters and p r oclamations which Iturizde had sent to them, at the same time testifying to his Excel lency their desire to contribute every thing in their power to the restoration of order and tran quillity in this Kingdom. " The Dependent of Iturizde Mier y Villa gomez, who went to Mexico to distribute letters and proclamations, was taken before lie delivered to the Viceroy those which he had for him, which his Excellency would not open, treating them with merited contempt. The first news re ceived from Mexico and Puebla disposed the minds of the few troops of the country, and of the populace, in favour of independence, so as to Le publicly shewn and to cause us some uneasi ness ; but an ceased when they saw GOO Euro pean inhabitants enrolled in the National Mi litia,well armed, and resolved to maintain order, which' we have hitherto done, by means of pa trolles, &c., and we may affirm that Vera Cruz will be the last place in this hemisphere to sepa rate from the Peninsula. CC MARCH 14.—Yesterday the Cinco Hermanos and the Ramoncito happily arrived here with news that his Majesty has appointed General Juan O'Donaju Viceroy of this Kingdom, and that he is to come on board the Asia. The let ters which we have received from Puebla come down t o the 6th inst., and state, that Iturizde, with the insurgent Guerrero, remained at Aquala, with the intention of retiring on board an American vessel (which was then there), be cause he had been deserted by a great part of the troops whom he commanded, and the force of the two Chiefs was reduced to 3000 men. Senor Marquez left Puebla on the sth with 2 000 soldiers, and Senor Linan was to do the same at Mexico with 4000 men, both in the di rection of Acapulco, to pursue and exterminate the m , and recover the convoy of treasure and effects plundered by that infamous Colonel.— Various other regiments have marched, so that it may be safely affirmed that the force proceeding against Iturizde and Guerrero amounts to 10,000 men, composed of the best troops of the kingdom." New York Papers, to the 19th of May, ar ri‘ed this morning. The following is the only article worthy of notice " CAPE HAYTIEN, Aran. 6. 'TUN BOYER, President of Hayti, to Brigadier THOMAS, at Port-au-Prince. " You are not ignorant, General, that General ItoltAl N has been distinguished among the re bels of Genives as the soul of the conspiracy form e d against the Government. From St. Marks to this place I have continued to receive accounts of fresh machinations on his part, to urge the troops of the North to a revolt. I was within three leagues of Plaisance when I received from General MAGNY the intelligence of General Ro iTAIN having declared himself openly. I has tened on, and arrived here yesterday morning lime enough to counteract his scheme. I re united in Council all the Generals, and caused General ROMAIN to be arraigned, who was con liicted of the crime of which he was accused. I have judged proper to give a new proof of rny clemency, by decreeing that Gen. ROMAIN Shall be sent to Leogone, as his presence in the North would always create difficulties. There his sentence was executed this morning, and in less than two hours after he had embarked, the fi rst and second regiments, deluded by that Ge neral, took up arms, and demanded his liberty. A s I never treat with rebels, I assembled a suffi clet't force, and reduced the disaffected to the necessity of laying down their arms : they are in con finement. Public tranquillity was only dis turbed for a few hours. " BOY ER." Quebec and Montreal Papers arrived this corning to the 13th of May. Since the open ing of the navigation several small craft have ar rived from Calloa, but there are as yet no fo reign arrivals, only the regular trading ships. The ship Venus, from New York, is arrived at the Isle of Wight : left Sandy Hook the 19th nit. With a full cargo, and 317,0001. in gold on hoard. It was yesterday reported in the city that an account of the death of BONAPA RTE had been re ceived ; but we could not trace the rumour to any authentic source. —(Morning Paper.) A messenger was sent off from Chandos House, on Tuesday night, with dispatches for the Court of Vienna. Last night his MAJEST Y gave a Ball to the juvenile branches of the Nobility and Gentry. His Exellency Don Louis D'ONis, Minister Plenipotentiary from Spain to this Court, arrived at the house of the Embassy, in Portland-place, on Saturday last, from Madrid. CORONATION PROCLAIMED, Pursuant to arrangements, the ceremony of proclaiming the Coronation took place this morn ing. By ten o'clock, Palace-yard, fronting the grand entrance to Westminster Hall, was par tially occupied by Life Guards, the Marshalmen, the Officers attendant upon the Heralds, and the Officers of Police. They were preceded by the Band of Trum peters, &c. When the Heralds arrived great crowds of spectators were assembled. The scaffolding erected in Palace-yard, and the houses and windows in the neighbourhood, were filled with elegantly dressed Ladies and Gentlemen ; the streets were lined with carriages from West minster Hall to Carlton Palace ; and from thence to the Mansion House the windows of every house in the line of the Procession were occupied, and the footway was blocked up by the unprece dented crowds of spectators. Shortly before twelve o'clock the Heralds ap peared, mounted in front of the Grand Gate of Westminster Hall, and a Life Guardsman leading each horse. The Proclamation, according to ancient cus tom, ought to have taken place within the Hall, but the preparations in the interior and the scaf folding on the outside the Gate, rendered it ne cessary to make the Proclamation near the porch. The Proclamation was then proclaimed " by flourish of drums and trumpets" amidst the ac clamations of assembled thousands. One of the Heralds then read the Proclamation of his MA JESTY, it being the same as appeared in Tues day's Gazette. This was succeeded by a further flourish of drums and trumpets, played according to the ceremony prescribed on such occasions. The procession then formed, and proceeded towards Temple Bar, passing along Parliament street, Charing Cross, and the Strand. Mr. LEE, the High Constable of Westminster, attended by the parish constables of West-' minster and a number of Bow-street officers, went first. They were followed by the Guards and 'the Heralds with their mace bearers, and other officers succeeded. On the Procession arriving at Temple Bar, a mob of ill-looking fellows set up a shout of CC the QUEEN !" which was answered by the more respectable part of the crowd, with shouts and acclamations, and cries of " the KING !" The Proclamation being read, they again shouted, CC The KING for ever !" and the few who cried " QUEEN!" and hissed, were scarcely audible. When the Herald concluded the Proclamation with " God save the King," the Band struck off with the National Anthem, amidst the waving of handkerchiefs and loudest plaudits of an immense multitude. The Procession then passed along Fleet-street, Ludgate-hill, Cheapside, Lombard-street, down Gracechurch-street, to the Royal Exchange, where Proclamation was made a third time. Proclamation was made at Westminster by RALPH BICKNELL, Esq. Norroy King at Arms ; at Temple Bar by GEORGE MARTIN LEACH, Esq., the Chester Herald ; and at the Royal Exchange by JOSEPH HAWKER; Esq Richmond Herald. BRIGHTON, JUNE 12.—We are still without any news at the Palace. T here have been a few fashion able arrivals yesterday and to-day. The Prince Regent packet, with thirty passengers, two car riages, and several horses, sailed for Dieppe yes terday ; the wind was brisk and favourable, and a quick and pleasant passage, we doubt not, has been the result. About 25 couple of his MA JESTY'S stag hounds arrived on Saturday, and more will be here in a few days for the purpose of being washed in the sea, the same as last year and previously, when the ablutions were found so salutary, completely removing what is term ed the canine distemper, arising often from damp soils, and which affects and weakens the legs of the whole pack. A fisherman, named WILLIAM PUMPHREY, soon after he had left his boat, and reached his own house to-day, was seized with apoplexy, and almost instantly ex pired. He has left a widow and five children to lament his loss. Yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, the Duchess of CLARENCE went to visit the School for German Children, attached to the German Lutheral Church in the Savoy. The Rev. Dr. KUPER and the Rev. Dr. STEINKOFF accompanied her Royal Highness, who remained in the School near two hours.—Yesterday afternoon the Duchess of CLARENCE visited the Duchess of KENT, at her residence in the King's Palace, Kensington. The Duchess of GLOUCESER visited the Princess AUGUSTA yesterday. At a Public Meeting held at Leeds, on Thurs day last; for the purpose of opposing Mr. SCAR LETT'S Bill relative to the Poor Laws, it was un animously resolved that a Petition on the subject be presented to Parliament. The Meeting was numerously and respectably attended. ST. PAUL'S.—Yesterday the cross at the top of St. Paul's was taken down from the ball. It was a fearful undertaking, and filled the spectators with terror to behold it. The ball is found to be so injured from time, that it is deemed necessary to have a new one. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. LErPsrc, MAY 24.—A traveller just arrived from Turkey has communicated the following information respecting the commotions there : A corps of Ypsilanti's army, under the command of Colonel Colcotrony, has passed the Danube at Sistow. About 10,000 Bulgarians and Servians, who assisted the passage, joined Colcotrony's corps. All the Bulgarians have taken up arms, and the capital, Terhowa, the key of Mount litmus, is in the possession of the Greeks. The army of Epirus has advanced towards Thessaly, and the 30,000 men whom the Sultan sent against it, are nearly annihilated. Suli, Parga, Prevesa, and all the strong places of Epirus, are like wise in the hands of the Greeks. The Pelopon nesus or Peninsula of the Morea is almost wholly delivered from the power of the Turks. Patras, Neocastron, Tripoliza, and all the fortresses of the Morea (Mothone and Cozone excepted) have been taken by the Greeks by storm, and with great slaughter. Rage and disorder are carried to the greatest height among the Turks at Con stantinople. The bazars and all kinds of shops are shut. The Janizaries and Bostangistis rob and murder all Christians who venture to show themselves in the streets. This fate awaits not only the Greeks, but also the English, French, Ger mans, and in general all who are called Franks ; so that the whole Christian population of Con stantinople may be said to stand on the brink of the grave. Letters received at Vienna from Constantinople, dated the 25th day of April, give a melancholy picture' of the state of things there. Executions of the most eminent Greeks continue with unheard-of rigour, and only a few families have succeeded in escaping by night. The serious nature of the Greek insur rection, and its having extended to the islands of the Archipelego, has given an extraordinary ex citement to the fanaticism of the Turks, and the populace commit the most horrible excesses wherever they find unarmed Christians. Even the Porte acts with a degree of inexorable cruelty, of which no parallel is to be found in the Otto man annals for centuries past. Whole streets have been set firs to in Pera, and men, women, and children murdered, or devoured by the flames. All the Christian Embassies, have forti fied their hotels to guard against attacks from furious and sanguinary Turkish mobs.—( Times.) SMYRNA, MAY 3.—We are happy to inform you that we enjoy perfect tranquillity here. The Turks have not committed any excesses or dis orders in the town. There is no doubt that many of the rabble were desirous of avenging them selves on the Greeks ; but, owing to the activity of the Governor, and the excellent Police, no out rage whatever has been committed. The ferment excited in the minds of the Turks has been con siderably calmed since the Proclamation of the Emperor of Russia has been published, forbid ding all intercourse between his subjects and the revolted provinces. Several armed vessels from Idra and Ipsira had been spoken with off' the mouth of the Gulf of Smyrna ; they said they amounted altogether to 80 sail, and meditated an attack on the Island of Scio, where there were only about 500 Turks, which they were de termined to lay under heavy contributions. It appears these Idriots and Ipsiriots are not only rebels against the Turkish Government, but also plunderers of their own countrymen, having re fused to render account to their principals of corn, oil, &c. sold by them in the different ports of the Mediterranean.

General D'Arcy is about to retire from the Staff, and is to be succeeded in the command of the Chatham Garrison by Ge neral Desborough, of the Royal Marines. The Royal First Devon Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry, Colonel the Right lion. Lord Rolle, completed their fourteen dayS7 training at Honiton, on Thursday., Previous to their being disbanded, Col. Cutcliffe, of the Lancers, addressed them in the most complimentary terms. The West Suffolk Militia, sunder the command of Col. Sir W. Parker, Bart. complete their period of training and exercise this day. The soldier-like appearance of the men, their icn proveinent in discipline_, and their quiet and orderly conduct in quarters, has entitled them to the highest praise. The party of the 41st regiment, stationed at Dornoch, were 'on Monday marched to Gruids, about six miles above Bonar Bridge, the tenants of which were to be then ejected ; the Sheriff had gone the previous day to persuade them to remove without resistance ; and we trust they have complied.—(lnver ness Journal.) On Wednesday last, the 42d Royal Highlanders, command ed by Colonel Dick, C. 8., were reviewed and inspected in the great square of the New Barracks, by Major-General Egerton, who was attended by his Aide-de-Camp, Major Kelly, the gallant officer who so eminently distinguished himself (especially in personal combat with the Colonel of the French cuirassiers) at the battle of 'Waterloo. The officers of the 42d were dressed in the philibeg and plaid, with dirk and spurren, &c. and the whole corpspresented a very fine and striking martial spectacle. They went through a variety of novel and beautiful manoeuvres with a celerity and precision that astonished and delighted the be holders ; and we have good reason to believe, that the Inspect ing-General expressed,: . in the warmest and most decisive terms, his high approbation of the state, evolutions, and appearance of the old Highland . Watch. —(Kilkenny Paper.) From the newly discovered Continent of New Shetland, the following information has been received : 4c NEW SHETLAND, FEB. 16.—The Russian litigate Wos tozk, Captain HELLEIYHOUSEN, and a sloop of war, have been on a voyage of discovery to this part of the world. The num ber of seals here is much smaller than was expected. The country is a wild disagreeable mass of snow and ice, and its shores extremely dangerous ; but the harbour is full of vessels, of one sort and another. No less 'than nine sail of English vessels have been lost on this coast. The harbour lies 62. 30. South lat. and 63. 5. West long.—There are twelve American vessels here." iIOETRY.

The upper servants will wear a unifonn of superfine dark blue cloth with gold embroidery, very massive, and very rich. There are eight of these, and twelve for the other members of the household, i. e. yellow and silver. LADY C. LONG'S FETE CHAMPETIIE.--The preparations for this grand Fete, on Tuesday, at Brothley-hill Lodge, were brilliant in the extreme, and it was attended by upwards of two hundred distinguished personages. Marquees were intended to be erected on the lawn, but owing to the coldness of the weather, the whole of the arrangements were confined to the interior of the house. The DEJEUNE was ALA EMIRCHETTE, consist ing of every delicacy, with the most delicious wines. It took place at four o'clock, and at seven the party broke up. The display of horses, carriages, and outriders, was very superb. There were present :—The Duke of Montrose, Marquis of Graham and Lady C. Graham, the Marquis of Camden, the Ladies Pratt and Lord Brecknock, Count and Countess Mun ster, Lord and Lady George Cavendish and Miss Cavendish, Earl and Countess of Bridgwater, Earl and Countess Grosvenor and Lord and Lady Belgrave, Earl and Cokintesa of Lonsdale, Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdown, Earl and Countess of Aylesbury, the Ladies .Bruce, Lady ,Theodosia Vyner, Miss Vyner, Earl and Countess of Limerick and the Ladies Pay, Mr. and Lady Charlotte Finch Hatton, Lord William Ber tinck, Mr. and Mrs. Duncombe and Miss Duncombe, Earl and Countess of Aboyne, the Ladies Gordon, &c. &c. The Countess St. Antonio's Concert in Hanover-square, on Monday evening, was attended by 200 fashionables. Madame Camporese and the Opera corps attended. The great saloon, drawing rooms, and a temporary conservatory, were thrown open at ten o'clock. The music closed at one; the party broke up at two. Lady Ml:leek's - Rout, on Tuesday evening, in Clarges-street, was very elegantly attended. Mrs. 'Wingfield Stratford entertained a distinguished party of fashionablcs on Tuesday, at her house in Stratford-place. Lord Eardley entertained another distinguished party to Dinner yesterday, at his house in Lower Grosvenor-street. ARRIVALS.—Baron Tuyle, at Greillon's Hotel, Albemarle street, Hon.

TILE THEATRE.—There has hardly ever been a larger audience than attended Drury-lane Theatre on Tuesday last, for the benefit of BRAHAM. The play was False Alarms, and the farce Fortune's Frolic. There was also a musical selection, supported by the chief vocal perfor mers of the Theatre, as well as by Mrs. SALMON, Mrs. and the Misses ASHE, the Misses CORRI, as well as by Master BARNETT, G. SMITH, and BRAHAM. The volunteers, Mrs. SALMON, Miss STEpuENs, and the AsHEs, were received with the warmest applause. The most prominent pieces were the Echo song by Miss STEPHENS ad mirably given, and a beautiful trio by Mrs. ASHE and her two daughters, most correctly and taste fully sung. Mrs. SALMON, accompanied by NI-. CHOLSON'S flute, highly gratified the audience.— Miss POVEY, who was to have responded to Mrs. SALMON in " Sweet Echo," having been sud denly taken ill, an apology was made, and Miss Ante immediately undertook to be the echo, and the song went off with delightful effect. BRAHAM exerted himself to the utmost, and amply grati fied the audience for their liberal patronage. The fine whole-length portrait of Earl WHIT WORTH, painted by Sir T. LAWRENCE, for the Corporation of Dublin, has been placed up in the Mansion-house of that city. Q. Why is the language of a scold most mov ing- ?—A. Because no man in his wits will tarry to hear her. In a northern English town, an honest Crispin, who officiates as Sexton, was thus addressed by his better half : " Thomas, we should have a goose ; every body is getting one." " A goose, indeed !" replied the husba!►d, " an' has'nt buried a living soul these, three weeks !" MARTIN AND RANDALT..—Martin appeared in the ring, after the late battle, and threw up his hat. He said, "He .wished to inform the Amateurs that he had accepted of Ran dall's challenge for 3001. a-side, and his friends were ready to make it 5001." Randall immediately answered it with his castor, as a token of defiance ; and it is expected this match will be made immediately. Although the spring in the west of Scotland has been cold and backward, instances are not wanting of comparatively early production. MR. CANNING AND SIR F. BURDVTT. TO TIIE EDITOR. Sia,—A letter from Mr. D. Kinnaird, appeared hi your paper of this day, in reference to the publication of the correspondence between Mr. Canning and Sir Francis Burdett, requires from me the following explanation : Certainly the paragraph to which both our names are signed, though written by us, was not written ,as• a letter to the Editor of The Cou rier, or to any other person. It was intended simply to authenticate the correspondence which it. accompanied. 'The,mistake by which the Edi , tor of The Courier considered it as addressed to himself, is explained by him in his paper of this evening. With respect to the question of publishing, it is perfectly true that Mr. D. Kinnaird, though the publication had his perfect assent, and though his authentication - of the correspondence was given with that view, declined to be a party to it. But it is equally true that publication, in some form or other, was always required by Mr. Can ning, and was uniformly so stated by me to Mr. Kinnaird, from the moment that there appeared a prospect, of the affair being brought to . an amicable termination. • I regret the mistake into which the Editor of The Courier has fallen, more especially as it has given rise to Mr. Kinnaird's letter, which, al though (as I am convinced, from all that has passed between us upon this occasion) without the intention of the writer, seems to detract something from that complete satisfaction to the feelings as well as to the honour of both the par ties principally concerned, with which I cau truly say Mr. Kinnaird and I had mutually flat tered ourselves that this transaction had happily terminated. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, Park-lane, June 13. BENTINCK. Lord W. Bentinck, it seems, wished that the following note should be annexed to his letter : " The Editor of The Courier presents his compliments to Lord William Bentinck, and has the honour to inform.him, with reference to that part of Mr. Douglas Kinnaird's Letter which relates to the alleged 4 forgery' of his name, that the mistake originated in a practice ordinarily adopted in giving publication to the communications of Correspondents, viz. that of causing them to be addressed to the Editor of the Journal in whiztt they appear. It is surely superfluous to add, that there could have existed no motive of any other kind for thus introducing the Correspondence." The Duke of BEDFORD, we are sorry to say, has been confined to his room by indisposition for several days past. ilis Grace, however, was something better yesterday. A Meeting is about to take place at Reading, for the purpose of forming an establishment for the instruction of the adult poor of that town and its vicinity. The artificers, &c.of Chatham dock-yard were paid in sovereigns on Saturday se'nnight, for the first time since the resumption of cash payments. (Kentish Gazette.) It is with great satisfaction we observe that the young wheats, which had been slightly injured by the late chilling winds, have resumed a healthy complexion, and hold forth promises of a plentiful harvest.—(Brighton Chronicle.) It is said that the receipts at the Royal Aca demy to view the Exhibition, already amount to nearly five thousand pounds. A Mail Coach will begin running to Hastings on the 6th of July. The bags are at present con veyed in a Mail Cart. The subsistence money for Prisoners confined in most of the county gaols has, on account of the cheapness of the necessaries of life, been reduced from 18d. to is. per day. A few days ago, as the gamekeeper of P eter Middleton, Esq. of Stockeld Park, n ear W e th er b y , was pur suing his vocation, he found a hare, (just killed by a fox) so big with young, that he was induced to perform the CIESARE x OPERATION, which he did with such success, that we believe the young are likely to be reared.—(Country Paper.) A shocking instance of self-destruction occurred on Monday sennight. Mr. Whitesides, a traveller in the carpet line, after showing decided symptoms of derangement at the Crown Inn, in Lynn, ordered his gig about six in the evening, and drove to ,viiddleton, a village about four miles from Lynn, where he alighted and drew down a lane, and cut his throat with a razor in so dreadful a manner as nearly to sever his head from his body. Ile was about 40 years of age, a fine gentleman in person, and bore a respectable .character.—();ury and Norwich Post, June 13.) Yesterday morning at Tothill-fields Fair, whilst some young men and women were amusing themselves in a swing, which was going with great velocity, a young woman was pitched headforemost from the machine. She was taken ulzeirne ita wsa.tsatlsocfovienrseedntshibailit her ty shouldera drri w ed as to dis t dislocated, a tet hospital,an d .her arm and collar bone broken. She remains in the hos pital in a very dangerous state ; and about the same time, a young man who was passing by one of those dangerous play things, was struck on the eye with great force, by which the eye was completely forced out of the socket, and he was rendered insensible for a long time. Ile was also carried to the 'Hospital. Four men were unfortunately killed in Els , wick colliery on Monday last, in consequence of the fall of a large stone from the roof of the pit. A very singular method of raising the wind has been practised by one of those fellows who live by expedients. He had called at the houses of a great number of poor people, and represented to them, that nothing was so easy as to be exempted from the payment of the assessed taxes : a petition to the Justices, if written in a proper manner, would be sufficient; and this he un dertook to write out for the moderate charge of one shilling. Some hundreds, we understand, were defrauded in this manner, affording a con stant and profitable employment, for several weeks, to the ingenious contriver.—(Edinbur g h Courant, June 11.) CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. - -A person was lately apprehended and lodged in Kirkcaldy jail, Scotland, for a crime, which seems at pre sent to be very common, and too often practised with success. This person, under various as sumed names, at one time as James Burgess, the master, and part-owner of a vessel wrecked off the coast of Ireland, by which he lost his all— at another time;as H. Gordon, mate of another ves sel, also wrecked, accompanied by a distressing tale—has (with the aid of forged documents) int.. posed on several people in that neighbourhood. As this person (who has stated his real name to be Douglas) is about to be liberated from jail, the public ought to be on their guard against his fu ture practices, and ; should be cautious in gi% ing credit to any tale of this nature ; however well au ,' thenticated it may appear.
