I ra ge IV re , of Beet tjpiy S tates of tl te insurgent Governments of Spanish America ; how great my surprise was may be easily judged by any one ae., qttzinted with the conduct of Spain towards this Republic, ar.d R ho knows the immense sacrifices which she has made to pre - "Ive her friendship. In fact, who could think that, in return Fu t the cession of her most important provinces in this hemi ilkhere, for the forgetting of the plunder of her commerce by the American citizens for the prit-ileges granted to their rla vY, and for as great proofs of friendship as one ti9ll Can give - anoth er , t hi s Ex ecu tiv e w o u ld propo's\" . ! ` ha t the insurrect;on of the ultra marine possessions e f Spain should be recognized, and.moreover, will not his as tonishment be augmented to see that this power is desirous to give the destructive example of sanctioning the rebellion of P ro pinccs which have received ncoffence from the mother coon trY to those to whom she has granted a participation of a free e?estitutien, and to whom she has extended all the rights of Spanish citizens. In vain will a parallel be attempted to be dr awn between the emancipation of the republic and 'flat which the Spanish rebels attempt. But even admit ting that . morality ought to yield to policy, what is the pre- , se nt state of Spanish America, and what are its Governments, t ° entitle them to recognition ? Buenos Ayrea is sunk in the most complete anarchy, end each day sees new despots produ d4ced.ewho dieeppear the next. Peru, conquered by a rebel 411 / I Y, has near the gates of its capital another Spanish army, '.idc 't by part of its inhabitants. In Chili, an individual sup r?"gses the sentiments of the inhabitants. On the coast of Pt rnta also, the Spanish banners waive; and the Insurgent R e nerals are occupied in quarrelling with their own compatriots, 8110 Prefer taking the part of a free power to that of being the 4 aves of an adventurer. In Meeico, too, there is no govern tnent then are those governments to be recognized ? Although l e an erlarg,e art this disagreeable subject, I think it useless to 4) because the sentiments which the Message ought to ex cite in the breast of every Spaniard can be no secret to ) ' o n ; those which the Ring of Spain will experience, at t te , th 'iner, a notification .so unexpected, will be doubtless ;erY disagreeable, as at the same time that I hasten to coin, 1114, icat e it to his Majesty, I think it is my duty to protest, I do solemnly protest, against the recognition of the Go ; elltreents mentioned, of the insurgent provinces of America 1 1 the United States, declaring that it can in no way Pow, : I ' a ` any time, lessen or invalidate in the least the right of "Pat;, to the said provinces, or to emploY whatever means 415 Y be i n h er power to re-un i te t h em to t h e rest o f h er do 41jone. • • " JOAQUIM DE ANDUAGA." • [To the above is annexed the answer of the American Mini- J orrxQurxcy ADAae3, informing the Spanish Ambas ,4dor th at his letter of the 9th March was immediately laid f oe, i i be : * the Preside n t o f th e United St a tes, which had been de •attly considered, and that the disposition of the President W as ,Illost.friendly. to Spain.

As for vel7ea that the trade m tea is of no great consequence to Eng ; since tea is a luxury with which the people could tite in disPense ; and since the wealth which we now treat' exchange for it might be consumed at home with only adva ntae to all classes : that is an opinion which a terle be entertained by'persons who are ignorant of the 4114 c ) ,., 1 , ) ! whic h the production of wealth, and its circulation troope--tion, are in the present state of Society effected. It 4tv'Y at there is no natural or necessary connection id ustr trade with China and any one branch of our eql Y, and that the pr o d uct i on and home consumption of our g o On, i ndependently of any foreign trade what ever. It is . also, however, too true' that an con nection, of great and extensive importance, does exist, arid that the loss of the China trade would at this moment inflict incalculable injury on Great Britain,—on her revenue, and on every class of the people, from the great land-own.er a nd capitalist, down to the Inimblest labourer. In the Navicalion BW, which .stands for Third Reading in the liotts'e of Commons to-morrow, the Clause which is to regulate the Importation of Goods from other parts of Europe requires particular attention, if the British Shipping and Seamen arc any longer to be considered as valu able to their Country.—The objectionable part of the Clause r uns as fellows : " Or in Ships or Vessels of the build of, and belonging to, the " country or place in Europe of which such Goods and Mer- . " chandize are the - growth, produce, or manufacture, respective " ly ; or in Ships or Vessels of the build of; and belonging to, any " port or place in Europe into which such Goods and Aferch.an " dize shall hors tren imparted or brought." The most particular attention is necessary to the words " shall have been itn:,,,orted or brozzgi:::." If British Ships are to re ceive that necessary protection, which, it is hoped, is intended them under the Bill,—then the question is, whether the words in the Bill protect them or not ? For instance, Russia is a country of large Export.; end supposing a Swedish Ship and P. Danish Ship each to. load Goods at Riga, a Russian port,— that the Danish Ship proceeded therewith to . Copenhagen or Elsineur, and the Swedish Ship to Carlscrona, Alaimo, or El sinbourgh ; and, without ever tlelivering any of their Cargoes, they each again clear out, and 'proceed with their Cargoes to London :—ls this a sufficient compliance with the words in the Clause above referred to'—" shall have been imported or brought ?" if such a compliance is sufficient, then is the Eu- I ropean Trade lost to the British Shipping, as the Northern Maritime States will be.enabled to sail at a much cheaper rate of freight,—their Ships are not half the intrinsic value of a British Ship—and the Victualling and Wages of their Crews are only one-third the expence of the British, (say British seamen, 50a. per month, Swedish Seamen, 12s. a 155.) Therefore, if the Swedes, Danes, Dutch, French, Portuguese, Spaniards, those of the Italian States and llanse Towns, are to be allowed to import the goods of Europe from any part of Europe, and particularly from Russia or Turkey, upon producing in Great Britain a colourable clearance of having touched •at one of their own ports,—We say, if the wording of the Bill is either intended to convey this meaning, or shall be afterwards so construed, then the competition will not lay between the British ships for the European transit of goods to Britain, but between foreigner and foreigner, say between the Swedes, Danes, PruSsians, Russians, &c. for the North of Europe, and those who can carry cheapest for the South of Europe. Now the only question is, whether it is the intention of the Legislature to give those who can carry at the lowest rate the European carrying trade to Britain, to the exclusion of British shipping ? for it is well known they cannot sail in competition in point of expence, and they must either give up the contest, or be accelerated into bankrupty and ruin. It is understood that some political economists are inclined to the system of having the shipping transit given to those m.-ho can carry at the cheapest rate; and unblushingly avow that the competition will lay bet Ween foreigner and foreigner. It re mains for the Government and Legislature to consider whether they will sanction a measure that will destroy the nursery for British seamen, on which may depend the existence of Britain as an independent State, as it is a fact that the great nursery is in the European trade, from which all the other services are supplied. CATHOLIC PEERS. At a very respectable Meeting of the Mayor, Jurats, and Commonalty, and other Inhabitants of the town of Faversham, and its vicinity, holden at the Guildhall of the said town, on Monday the 27th inst., by public notice, for taking into consideration the Roman Catholic Peers Bill, the following Petition was proposed and unanimously adopted, and was directed to lay in the Hall for signatures till Tuesday even in : To the Right Ilononrable tile Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Par liament assembled— The humble Petition of the Mayor, Jurata, and Common alty, and other Inhabitants of the Town cf Faversham and its vicinity, in the Cd unt y o f K ent, , SHE WETH, That fearing the confidence reposed in the House of Parlia ment should be mistaken for indifference, your Petitioners humbly crave leave to call your most profound attention to the Roman Catholic Peers Bill, now in progress through your Lordships' Right Honourable Rouse. That your Petitioners, entertaining the best wishes for the welfare of their Roman Catholic fellow subjects, view prespec tively, with anxiety and alarm, the dangers that may a t tac h to the Protestant Asc en d anc y f this country, should a power be given to them which would be under the influence of the Church of Rome. That yoUr Petitioners are apprehensive, that the rigid no tions of Catholics as to the immaculate purity of their religion, v, - ould induce them, when in power, to oppress such of their fellow-subjects as might not conform to their principles. That seeing Bills for the emancipation of Catholics from civil disabilities have several times passed the House of Commons, your Petitioners dread the admission of Catholic Peets into your August Assembly, fearing lest, by that means, the safe guard of Protestantism should be considerably weakened. Your Petitioners therefore do most humbly pray, that your Lordships will deeply deliberate on the injury that may accrue to di? Protestant Ascendancy of this country, should the Bill now before your Lordships pass into a law. And your Petitioners, as m duty bound, shall ever pray, &c. —(Kentish Gazette, May 28.) THE LORD CHANCELLOR.--It is stated in a Morning Paper of to-day that this venerable and revered Nobleman is about to retire. After his long toil and anxiety in the public' service, well may he wish for ease and leisure.—Never has his important situation been occupied by a character better qualified for the Office, or more con scientiously upright in discharging. its duties. Much as the country will rejoice in the continu ance of his meritorious life, it cannot but feel deep regret whenever his resignation takes place, as at present there does not appear to be any compe tent successor. The paper alluded to speaks of his Lordship's " immense fortune ;" but what ever the extent of that fortune may be, it is well known that rumour is too apt to exaggerate on all occasions, and it is well known also that his for tune was acquired by long and anxious labours, and every liberal mind, ,as well as his grateful country, will ardently hope that what he ac quired with honour, he may always enjoy in health and tranquillity. Yesterday the Princess SoputA paid her re spects to the KING. Yesterday the Duke of YoRK, as Commander in Chief, held a Levee, at his Office iu the Horse Guards, which was attended by the Earls of Wicklow and Wiltshire, Lord John Somerset, Lord Beresford, Major-General Sir John Mal colm, Major-General Foley, Major-General Douglas, Major-General Sir Denis Pack, and upwards of thirty others. His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, it is said, won 25,0001. on his own horse Moses, at the Epsom races on Thursday. He took the odds, which were six to one against Moses, so that he could lose but a small sum, and win to a large amount. P O.E T y.

THE THEATRES. THE KING'S VISIT TO THE ITALIAN OPERA. KING'S TI EATRE.---lIIS MAJESTY honoured this Theatre with his presence last night, and his entry was greeted by an• immense assemblage of the Great and the Noble of his land with the utmost fervency. His MAJESTY entered the Theatre precisely at ten minutes before eight, and was received by the Marquis of A ILESBUR Y, Lords LOWTHEII, FIFE, and MOUNT EDGCUMBE, the Count St. ANTONFO, and Mr. Eacas, the active Manager and Lessee of the Theatre. The National Anthem was sung as soon as the Royal box was occupied, by the strength of the company, and the chorusses were echoed from a thousand voices amongst the audience. At the end of the Opera it was called for and repeated, as well as at the close of the performance, and each time it was received with the same ardent feeling and delight. His MAJESTY was accom panied by his Royal brother the Duke of Yoarc., and the usual suite of State Officers. During the performance the Royal visitors frequently applauded the beautiful passages with which the Opera (II Barbiere di Siviglia) abounds.— The Rosina of the night was a very successful debutante from the French school, Signora CINTI, who had been announced for some time past. She possesses a voice of fine quality, and her style is rich in all the varieties of ornament and expression. His MAJESTY remained to the dropping of the curtain upon the Ballet, when he bowed in the most gracious and dignified manner, and then retired arnidit universal man festations of loyal affection. _ . • n • [FrItTH a -- ER ARTICVLARS.]--- A few minutes before eight o'clock his Majesty 4 WeAt in , State to the Italian Opera House, with his Suite, in five carriages. The Duke of Dorset, as Master of the Horse,.and Lord Lovaine, as Lord in Waiting, rode in the carriage with the King ; the other attend ants were the Lord Chamberlain,. the Vice-Chamberlain, the Captain of the Ye omen o f t h e G uar d , E arl Cathcart, Gold Stick in Waiting, Silver Stick in Waiting, Sir Robert Bolton, Equerry in Waiting, and Gentlemen efshers and Exon in Waiting. His Majesty. o n a ligh t i ng f rom hi s carr i age, was received with every mark of dutiful respect and loud huzzas by the multitude assembled on the .occasion. Sir R. Birnie, Chief Magistrate of the Police, was in attendance with Town shend, Sayer, Vickery, Bishop, Ruthven, and J. T. Smith, the principal officers of Bow-street,. and a numerous assem blage of the patrol; who were stationed by Sir Richard in various parts to keep the peace. Two of the Yeomen were stationed at the King's entrance to the Opera House, and two in the Opera Concert Room. The entrance from the street and stairs, and the whole way from the Royal Box, was covered with scarlet cloth, as well as the box adjoining it : the box was fitted up in a very magnificent style; the front was covered with crimson velvet; on which was placed two hooks of the Opera, elegantly bound in red morocco; it was hung with crimson satin, trimmed with gold fringe and tassels ; the top with crimson fluted dome, ornamented with an elegant gilt candelabra, with wax lights. The anti-box, or room behind the Royal Box, was hung with blue Satin, ornamented with silver fringe, and illuminated with gas lights in an elegant gilt candelabra. Daurty-LixE.--The Comic Opera of Abroad and at Home, written by the : late Mr. HOLMAN, was brought forward last night from'an unmerited Oblivion of many years, as it is sprightly in dia logue and not uninteresting in fable, and has be sides some excellent music, - from our great na tional Composer, Mr. SHIELD. The parts were well assigned, as will be evident when we state that MCNDE.N was Old Testy, 'HARLEY Young Flourish, KNIGHT Dicky, and that BRAIIAM. came forward with hi, Musical storesin Hareourt. The rest of the characters were well allotted to Mrs. IlintowE, Miss POVEY, and Miss COPELAND, and the Opera altogether was so well received as to be announced for repetition with general. assent. COVENT-GARDEti..—.Tfie" very .arduon.s part of Othello was last night undertaken.by REI.DY; for his benefit, and though it is usual to make allowance those - who appear 'in . the chief characters of the Drama on such occasions, yet Mr. AIACREADY displayed merit : enough to . , stand in no need of 'such a consideration. He entered into the essential qualities of the part with critical judgment, and 'altogether pre sented a masterly and vigorous delineation. Mr. YouNo, who is himself a good Othello, perhaps from motives of friendship, sustained the part of lago, and though it might be thought that at times he was somewhat too comic for so dark a character ; and at others appeared, as SHAKSPEARE says," a superserviceable villain," yet he mani fested the powers of a great actor, and acquitted. himself with his usual success. ABBOTT was a very repectable Cassio, and. Miss FOOTE an interesting Desdemona.--The House was so well attended as to sheer- that Mr. MACREADY is high in the esteem of many frient.s„as well as a gene ral favourite of the Public. We - have authority to state that the new Pro prietors of Vauxhall have obtained his Majesty's most gracious permission to 'open the Gardens under his especial patronage. . _, ,I.? -1 ,4 . 1, A -- ,--" , >,g.4.W:.-:-- , -*** .

THE ARMY. The Troops of the 9th Lancers, which were stationed on the coast of this county, marched from Hythe, Deal, &c. on Friday and Saturday last, on their route to the Head Qdarters, at Brighton. The squadron which was detached into Suffolk is also recalled to head-quarters. The ultimate destination of the regiment is stated to be Exeter, and that the 3rd (King's Own) Light Dragoons will replace them at Brighton.— Capt. Read's Company of the Royal Staff Corp , :, at Hythe, are under orders for North America.— ( Kentish Gazette, May 28.) _ A detachment of the 9th Lancers arrived in this town from Hythe on Saturday, and yester day morning left here for Chelsea, in order to he at the grand Review of Cavalry which is to take place on, Thursday next, at Hounslow Heath, at which the Prince and Princess of DENMARK will he present.—(Maidstone Journal, MaN 28.) YORKSHIRE HUSSARS.—The Yorkshire Hussar Yeomanry, commanded by Lord Grantham, strived at Ripon on Friday week. The truly military appearance of this fine body of men, as well as the handsome manner in which they were mounted and equipped, excited the universal approbation of the numerous spectators who greeted them on their arrival. We are sorry to state, that the same evening, the leader of the band had his leg fractured by a kick from a horse, and is in consequence seriously ill. The corps remained on duty at Ripon till Thursday last; and the man ner in which they acquitted themselves gave universal sa tisfaction. The week was spent with great gaiety. There was a ball on the evening of the 17th, which was post poned from the King's birth-day, in honour of the 1 ork shire Hussars. And on the 21st , the officers gave . a grand ball to the inhabitants of Ripon. Both balls were well attended, and the dancing was kept up with great spirit till a late hour. The corps was reviewed on Thursday, and their soldier-like appearance, and the precision and correctness, with which they went through their various mapTuvrer, elicited the highest admiration from the numerous spectators. The Leeds squadron left Ripon on Friday morning for Leels. I—At Harrogate, Captain Beckett treated the men with an excellent lunch; and on their arrival at Gledhow, the seat of Sir John Beckett, they were regaled with Sandwiches and prime strong ale; the healths of the King and the Worthy Baronet and his Lady were d r unk, and " God save th e Ki rs " sung with true loyal enthusiasm. Tile squadron arrived in Leeds about half-past seven o'clock, in excellent order. They proceeded to the Coloured Cloth-hall-yard, where Capt. Beckett briefly addressed them. He said they must be fatigued from having been on horseback so many hours, therefore he would not detain them long. But in the name of himself, and of those officers, (pointing to the officers who were drawn up near him) by whom he had been so ably supported, he begged to return them his sincere thanks fo r the good conduct they had evinced at Ripon during the week. That conduct had been remarked not only by the officers, but by every individual. Indeed the Leeds squadron could not be too much praised. He wished them all increased health, increased prosperity, and increased happiness, till they met again. This address was re ceived with three times three hearty cheers, when the squadron separated. The officers dined with the Mayor in the evening. —(Leeds Intelligencer, May 27th.) DEATH OF LORD KINSALE.—On Friday last died, at his lodgings on the North Grand Parade, Cork, to which he had gone for medical assistance, the Right Hon. JOHN DE COURCY, Lord Kinsale, Baron Conrcy, and Baron of Ringrone, Premier Baron of Ireland. He is succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son, the Hon. and Rev. - DE COURCV, now Lord KINSALE, and the 27th Lord. His Lordship's ancestor was presented in 1762 to his late Majesty, and had the honour of asserting the ancient privilege of his family of wearing his hat in his Majesty's presence. The late Lord also enjoyed the same privilege. Prince AUGUSTUS, the reigning Duke of SAXE. GOTHA and ALTENBURG, died on the 17th inst., in conse quence of a long illness, which was followed by a stroke of apoplexy. He has been succeeded by his brother Prince FREDERICK,. . SOCIETY FOR TilE RELIEF OF AGED AND INFIRAIIPRO j TESTANT DISSENTING MlNlSTERS—Yesterday a Meeting -of this Society took place at the King's Head T a vern, Poultry, JAMES GIBSON, .Esq., in the Chair. The Secretary. read the Report, 'from which it appeared that the persons re lieved were Ministers of the Presbyterian, rridependent, and Baptist Denominations, 'in England 'and Wales, who, having been settled Pastors of congreations, had resigned their office in consequence of age' and infirmities The history of the applicants pi' rented a picture of no Ordinary degree of calamity ; some of them, whd'had been engaged in the work of the ministry for 40 years, and had large families, were depen dent for support on a stipend of a few pounds. Some conver sation took place upon the necessity of making vigtirous exer tions to increase the funds of the Society, and to procu re a more extended patronage. Thanks were voted to the Chair man and Secretary, after which the Meeting separated. The Duke of lIEDFoRD is arrived at his seat, Endsleigh Cottage, on the banks of the Tamar. On Tuesday last, Trios. Ronvis, Esq. Portreeve of Tavistock, accom panied by WM. BRAY, Esq. Wm. GILL, Esq. in a chaise and four, and 50 Gentlemen on horseback, went in procession to his Grace's seat, to congratulate him on his late escape in the duel with the Duke of BUCKING/IA:VI. On Friday night last a bin, containing eight pipes of bottled port wine, in the cellars of th e W estm in ster Wine Company, Pall-mall, gave way, and the whole was de stroyed. It seems the vaults are built on the site of the old hoaxes that stood between the corner of the Haymarket and what was formerly St. Alban's-street, and it is supposed the bin was erected over a decayed sewer that had been but lightly 11ed up, as the earth sunk to the depth of four feet. FOR THE SUN. Mn. EDITOR—Being an advocate for the Pro testant Ascendancy, and respecting the glorious memory of King WILLIAM, I perceive with re gret that Mr. CANNING'S eloquence has induced the House of Commons to pass his Bill, to en able Roman Catholic Peers to take their seats in the House of Lords ; which Bill is to be - taken, into consideration in that House on Friday next, the result of which I anticipate with pleasure, and agree with Mr. MA rtTiN, (Member for Gal way), in thanking God that we have KING, LORDS, and Col ittoNs.---In consequence of tak ing down a very old house this week in the Ab-' bey-square, late the property of the Bishop, the cell (length 9 feet, height 8 feet 6 inches, breadth 3 feet 8 inches), is brought into full view, front whence George Marsh was led to execution in April 1555, and burnt alive near this city ; the particulars of which I send you for publication, and which is highly interesting at this period. Val. lEARIVOOD FOLLIOTT: Chester, May 25, 1612. GEORGIE MARSE, BUR:/7 it.l7 Cazrrzn..--The next that we shall mention is the Martyrdom of George Marsh, who was burnt at Chester, by the Bishop there, Dr. C• - .ates. Ile was a. Lancashire-man, bred a farmer, married and had children ; yet afterwards he went to Cambridge, fell to his stud.ica, and at: . Lest took Orders, and was a Curate in the time cf fling El- • ward the Vlth ; but in Queen Nary's days, being deteee.ed, lie was sent for by the Bishop, and being in some perplexity in his mird whether he should ?.y or no, some of his friehis sant him word that be ehould stay, and boldly confess Jesus Christ; up on which, having hid himself, he went and delivered himself up to those who sought him, who carried him to the Bishop, when he so wisely answered to all their objections, that they could not find matter to take away his life: yet the Bishop sent bins to prison in his own house, where he kept him four mon.thg, not suffering any of his friends to conic near him, or to give him. any relief, and where he suffered great hardships ; the porter was commanded to take notice of any that came but to inquire after hint, and to give their names to the Bishcp, so that many were afraid of being brought into trouble f cr askinFt, after him. From the Bishop he was had before the Earl cc -Derby, who examined bin], after which, perceivinhe was not able to bring hi m t o his bent, he committed him to another prison, being a cold windy stone house, without bed to lie on, only a few canvas lent deaths, where he Continued in thil manner for some time, seeing no ;man but the k eee p er , wh o brought bins meat a nd drink. Mter this he was again exa mined before the said Earl, yet Mr. Marsh very prudently and warily answered their entrapping questions about the Sacra ment, saying, he believed Christ was not in the Sacrament, which so enraged them,_ seeing he wo u ld g i ve no other answer, that they sent him t o Lancaster gaol, where he was put among the felons, and three times caused to hold up his hand at the bar, with bolts upon his lees, though they had nothing to ob ject against him. He used to preach and exhort the prison ers, for which he was threatened and reproved, and the Bishop, • coming to Lancaster, caused him to be more strictly kept and cruelly handled ; several times was he before the Bishop and examined, and articles were put ih against him, one of which was, that among other most damnable and schismatic here sies, he had said that the Church and Doctrine taught and set forth in King Edward's time was the true Church, and that the Church or Rome was not the true Catholic Church. At last the Bishop read the sentence of condemnation against him, and after he had done, now, said he, I will pray for thee no more than for a dog. But I will pray for you, said the Holy Martyr. He' was then deli vere d to the Sherifg, who put bin, into an hole or dark dungeon, where none were suffered to come at him or speak to him. 'When the time came of his execution, he was led forth to the place, being without' the City of West Chester, and being come to the stake, a black box was shewed him, in which they said there was the Queen's pardon if he would recant : he told them lie had no desire to die, and would accept of her Grace's mercy, being her true liege man ; but if he could not have it without such conditions which tended to pluck him from God, he would not receive it. After that he began to speak to the people, but the Sheriffs told him, ther e must be no summ o ni ng these; so afraid were they of hearing the truth, upon whi c h Mr. Marsh, kneeling down,. fell to prayer, which done, he stripped himself to his shirt, and so was chained to the post, and the faggots put about him. Over his head they had placed a firkin, with pitch and ;,.ar, and by reason the wind blew hard, and the fire did not dispatch him, but melting the pitch, it fell upon him, and put bins to into lerable torment; notwithstanding he bore it patiently stand ing a long time with out mov i ng, h av i ng all his flesh so broiled and puffed up that they thought he had been dead. when, on a sudden, spreading his hands abroad, lie cried out aloud, " Father of Heaven have mercy upon me." and so yielded up his spirit into the hands of the Lord. All the people saying he died with admirable patience, and was a martyr.—He was burnt in April 1.5.55. MERCANTILE; SHIPPING, &c.

Ey the activity of toe gentlenieri who have taken so conspicuous and praiseworthy a part in the transaction, it has been discovered that there are two men in custody in Barking gaol, one of whom answers the description of the person seen near firs. DOnatty's house on the night of the Murder; his name is William Faulkner; and in addition to the other suspicious circumstances against him, .tt has been discovered that since the commission of the murder, he s shaved off his whiskers which were dark and bushy, and much resembling-those worn by the supposed assassin. The off'enc'e - • with which he stands Coharged (in conjunction with one Williams; who is not yet accused of any participation in the murder) is breaking into Farrendon-house, the scat of Wm.

All the witnesses ants accordingly ordered to attend at Barking, as soon as the present Old B ai l e y sessions are ove r , that they may view Faulkner, and give their of i :ion at to his identity.
