to strengthen him iu the affections and confi dence of the Constitutional Party. A pri vate letter received in Paris states that the Duke de L'INFANTADO, and 128 persons, who had been the chiefs of the conspiracy, were arrested. Accounts are said to have been re ceived from Andalusia, announcing that the re volted Carbineers in that province had been en tirely destroyed by the militia of Beyalance. A report prevails in the City that M. ZEA and the whole of the Columbian Mission have been recalled ; but other information says he is going t ° return, owing to the unfavourable state of his health. It is also stated on 'Change that two columns °I . French troops have entered Spain, but the 'yell-informed Spaniards do not give credit to it. In a preceding column we have given extracts f rom the French Paper.; of Sunday, and from Dutch and German Papers which have arrived 'ince our last. Mr. Born and Mr. MENzrEs, the Scottish Counsel «ho have incurred the displeasure of the Rouse of Commons by presuming to vindicate their character in contravention of its privileges, have arrived in town, and will this evening ap- Pear at the Bar of the House, in pursuance of its order, issued for that purpose yesterday se'n night. Before we proceed to offer a few tempe rate remarks on this affair, we may be permitted, with the utmost deference to the pleasure and discretion of the House, to express a feeling of r egret, that, at a moment's notice, and with an i nterval of seven days °nig allowed for a journey o f eight hundred miles, Gentlemen should be hur ried from so great a distance, and, after travel ling night and day, without one hour's rest, should be compelled to stand on their defence, " it were, immediately on their arrival, before t hey have recovered from the severe fatigue of a journey performed under such circumstances, and before they have had any time to prepare themselves for meeting the charges against them, or for enduring with firmness those sensations of awe, which the known displeasure of the British House of Commons cannot fail to excite. There is an appearance of oppression and cruelty in this Proceeding, from which we are sure that the itstie e and humanity of the House would revolt, -:the probable consequences of so much precipi they had occurred to it ; particularly when it is con sidered that the respectable parties, who . havp thus been dragged before it, are not a -r g e.4A with any crime,—are not accused of a ving in any respect infringed the ordinary of the country but are merely de clared guilty of having violated the privileges qP arliarnent,—not from any wanton intention ' impugning its collective dignity, or of pre fl,, u 4lPtuously opposing its power,—but for the f BoleMPurpose o f v i n dic a ting their own characters r the aspersions said to have been cast upon iller n by an individual Member,—and which asPer sions they declare to be groundless, unwar ranted, and false ! We say nothing of the injury 1114 ° 1 may have been inflicted on the interests of "41e rous parties, by the sudden removal of two "tli nent Counsel from the discharge of their Prafessional duties.—When it is considered that violence of the journey which they have been °ree d to perform might even prove fatal to per s°lls Whose constitution is not robust, and when 4 r eflect th a t th e d e l a y o f a few days could not leave defeated or in any manner affected the in on v etlti°ll s of the House, we feel that the transac. l as sumes a semblance of harshness and arbi trary severity, w hi c h, w h en distinctly re cognized, mast prevent its repetition.--As to the object of the Proe„. 15 ,. ! 'wog itself, the collective body of the people 0 111 no do u b t h ave th e i r e y es on th e con d uc t o f lejr r epresentatives this day. In so far as the ai " st "s ttre which th e y h ave a d o pt e d, of laying a re 11t M r . ABERCIIOMBY, and of bringing 4 l I O PE and M r . M ENziEs b e f ore th em , h a s a L erley to prevent the effusion of blood, they Ig oe th e approbation and gratitude of the country. s ° far as they have vindicated their own pm svi!gles from any irregularity or impropriety may have occurred in the course of de lee Pursued by Messrs. MENZIES and HOPE, O f e t Y l ar e suppoyted by the respect and good sense q w -le P e ePle• But the justice of the case re something more than all this. If the Ite- Po rt of td l Yir. ABERCPMMIVY'S speech, as publish l‘lr.lll the Morning Chronicle, was incorrect, Di A nEßcuoN tn y ought to disavow, in his If a 7 5 th e expressions attributed to him.— le does not di savow t h e ser i ous c h arges againstbi the ho nour an d character of two respect the Public but which he is said to have uttered, A 44 tibli c must conclud e th a t h e i s rea lly th e i r a n 110 -, ~• it tho se c h arges were, as Mr. IforE r. MEN ZIES solemnly declare, utterly false and and unfounded, then, --though there can be no doubt that Mr. ABERCROMBY, in advancing them, was solely actuated by conscientious mo tives, And did nothing more than, in the discharge of his duty, and with the correct or incorrect in formation which he had received, he conceived was 'required of him,—it does seem, that, while the House inflicts its displeasure fo r the breach of privilege on the one hand, it is on the other called upon in justice to admonish Mr. ABERCROMBN in particular, and its Members in general, against rashly making charges upon private character, under the shelter of Parliamentary privilege, the truth of which charges they have not taken every possible pains to ascertain. In the present instance, it is evident that the Honourable Member had not made due inquiry into the truth of the allegations which he brought before the House, since, if any' investigation had been instituted, he must immediately have learnt that Mr. HoPE was not Counsellor ALEXANDER; and therefore that the whole of the charges against him, which were founded on that presumption,were ground less. Supposing the speech of Mr. ABERCROMBY to have been properly reported, therefore, and supposing the ,allegations contained in that speech to have arisen from misinformation ; it seems clear that some act of reparation is due to those injur ed individuals who are precluded from seek ing redress from the laws, and who have been restrained by the House from obtaining the satisfaction of Gentlemen on a field of ho nour. As yet, the House has only admonished Mr. ABERCROMBY not to prosecute any quarrel which may arise out of his Parliamentary con duct. If the view which we have taken of the affair be a just one, it is not too much to expect that it should instruct the SPEAKER fur ther to admonish him of the precipitancy and presumed rashness of his language ;—that, while it protects its Members even from the con sequences of their own imprudence on the one haud, it is bound to exhibit the utmost de licacy of feeling and judgment toward those by whom it is appointed, on the other. Mr. FORBES, we hope, will repeat the just sentiments which he has already expressed on this subject; and enforce them with that manly firmness which belongs to the advocacy of truth, and to the con scientious discharge of an obvious duty. Letters from Santiago de Chili, of the 11th March, received by way of Buenos Ayres, state that General SAN MARTIN embarked on the 7th of February for Guayaquil, to hold a conference with General BOLIVAR. Troops had left Callao by sea for Arequipa to attack La Serna, who had retired on Cuzco. In Chili all was tranquil.— The predatory Chief BENAVIDES had been taken prisoner and executed. Some troops were about to embark to take possession of the Island of Chiloe. The exportation of wheat had been prohibited, on account of the failure of the crops. Yesterday, at half-past twelve o'clock, the KING left town in his travelling carriage for Kew, where his MAJESTY spent the day. THE DQKE or YORK'S LEVEE.—Yesterday the Duke of YORK, as Commander-in-Chief, held a Levee at his Office in the Hope Guards, which was attended by General Coffin, Lieut.- General Scott, Major-General Nicolls, Major- General Stewart, and about thirty others.— Lieut.-General Sir William Lumley was pre sented to his Royal Highness on his return from Bermuda. CHELMSFORD, JULY 15.—The celebration of the Anniversary of the KING'S Coronatio►► will take place on Friday, the 19th instant, at the Black Boy Inn. It is expected to be nume rously attended, being also the day appoinLed for the celebration of the Birth-day of the im mortal WILLIAM PITT. The Marquis of WATERFORD is assuredly to be raised to the dignity of a Duke of that part of the United Kingdom called Ireland. The creation of another Irish Duke is spoken of— but not with equal certainty. We are happy to think that we shall soon cease to bear of the sickening distinction of " Ireland's only Duke."— (Dublin Patriot.) The Sovereign of Armagh has pointedly con tradicted the statement in a Dublin Paper of se veral persons having suddenly quitted that city since the arrest of the suspected traitors. Not a single person has disappeared from that place since the event alluded to. The cause to which several of the Newspapers have attributed poor EMERY'S indisposition is erroneous. lie has neither had a "fit," npr is he " ipeechless." Ills disorder arises from a complete general debility, and which, it is much feared by the faculty, will terminate upon the lungs. We are truly sorry that we cannot announce to our readers the termination of the differences between the master manufacturers and the weavers. The latter walk in procession twice each day to their usual place of meeting, where e. report is regularly given of the'proceedings of their Committee, and the answers returned by the masters to their applications. It was stated at one of the late meetings that the struggle was nearly at an end, and that a great majority of the masters had signified their intention to abide by a certain standard-width of ribbon which had been then proposed, and the prices issued in 1819. — (Coventry Mercnry.) On Thursday last, an inhabitant of Blean Com mon, named Hooker, having occasion to go to an inclosure in which was a bull, that he had been long used to, and which had not previously appeared viciously disposed, the animal ran at him, and before the poor man could escape, wounded him in the belly so severely, as to occasion his death yesterday morn. ing, in the Kent and Canterbury Hospital, where he was taken to, soon after the accident.—( Kentish Gazette, July 16.) FOR THE SUN. ACTORS. MR. EDITOR—You lately inserted a letter that appeared in a Morning Paper which stated that " almost all the principal Performers at Covent Garden have declined to continue their engagements," and that " the frequenters of the playhouse are, next season, to be deprived of the pleasure they have experienced for several years in witnessing the exertions of Mr. YOUNG, Mr. MACREADY, and Mr. LISTON, and in listening to the sweet notes of Miss STEPHENS." The writer of the letter, which is signed DIIAMATICUS, without expressing any direct censure against the Ma nagers, leaves the Public to infer that the de privation of so many favourites is owing to the conduct of the former. You state that your reason for inserting the letter in question was to afford the Managers " an opportunity of contra dicting what might be the result of private ma levolence, or of giving a satisfactory explanation, if founded in truth." This was a liberal idea, Mr. Editor, but it was not to be supposed that the Managers would come before the public upon anonymous allegations, or without necessity. Now, Sir, would it not have been fair in Mr. DRAMATICUS, if he thought proper to introduce the subject in a public print, to sup pose that, if the Performers in question are really about to leave the Theatre, there may possibly be something in their own conduct which requires an explanation of their reasons, as well as one from the Managers for not complying with them ?—Our great Bard has said that " Lowliness is young ambition's ladder," and it is very com mon, when Actors attain a certain height of po pularity, and think that Managers cannot do without them, to demand such an increase of salary as the circumstances of the Theatre will not admit. It is well known that Actors are paid much higher at present than what at former periods was paid to Actors of the most distinguished abilities ; and perhaps' if the salaries of some of the most eminent Per formers of the present day were stated to the public, the latter would have no reason to blame the Managers, if they refused to increase them. It is well known that both of the Patent Theatres of the metropolis have been, for many years, under great embarrassment, and are still loaded with heavy burthens. Ought those burthens to fall only on the backs of the Proprietors, mad is it reasonable to press upon them for an increase of salary at such a period of difficulty ? It should be observed that to the patronage of Managers Performers are indebted for an opportunity of appearing before the public, and acquiring that popularity upon which they found their preten sions to an augmentation of income, when perhaps it is fully adequate to what their talents might justly demand. 1 do not mean to insinuate that such is the case with the respectable Performers whose names are introduced in the letter alluded to, but only to recommend to the public a candid and just consideration of the difficulties under which both the Patent Theatres are at this time labouring, and also of the constant expence at tending every night's performance, besides rent, taxes, &c. &c. however capricious may be the taste of the times, and however attractive other exhibitions of various kinds may prove. Piazza Coffee-House, July 15. VINDEX. ENGLISH OPERA house.—We are sorry to hear that Miss CAREW has been suddenly taken ill, and, in consequence, her part in the new farce of Alt in the Dark was assigned last, and • the preceding night, to Mrs. IVEtepART, late Miss STEPHENSON. The talents and the private con duct of Miss CAREw must induce the public to regret her cbsence, and more particularly its cause ; but, in justice to Mrs. WrAprALIT, it is proper to state that she has proved a very good substitute, and that All in the Dark threw a new light upon her abilities. The little wonder, Miss CLARA FISHER, last night again excited the sur prize, and drew forth the applause, of a numerous audience, by the , spirit, humour, and variety which she exhibited in Little Pickle, and in The Actress of Work. NOBLE AND GENEROUS ACT.—Tuesday week, being his half-yearly rent day, TIIO3IAS STRICKLAND, Esq. assembled his tenantry at Sizergh, where they partook of an excellent dinner, and after the cloth was drawn, and a few agricultural sentiments were drunk, Thomas Strickland, Esq. rose, and expressed himself to the following purport : " Gentlemen, it is the first time I have had the pleasure of meeting my tenantry on'such an occasion ; and I do assure you, 1 am highly gratified in seeing you all around me, and it shall always be my endeavour to shew you every possible in dulgence, to make you comfortable. lam thoroughly convinced you have used every exertion, during the depressed state of the times ; and from the various reports I have read, and from my own local knowledge, I well know that the distress of the agri culturist is great. I have, therefore, given orders to my agent to draw his pen across all arrears due to me previous to last Christ mas." The heartfelt gratitude of the tenantry, tier this noble act of their generous landlord, was expressed in a manner which made the ancient ball re-echo. This is an act which needs no comment.—( Lancaster Gazette. ) A fatal accident happened on Saturday last to a lad, about 13 years old, named Wm. Rouse, whose father is house carpenter in Sheerness dock-yard. The deceased, with some other boys, went to bathe in the sea, from off the ram parts at the back of the garrison, and began to swim in con test with some of his companions, when, it is supposed, they got too far out into the current, the place being near the garrison point, which overpowered the deceased ; some soldiers being near the spot at the time, and observing the dangerous situa tion of the unfortunate lad, several of them jumped into the water to his assistance, but without effect ; the body was, how ever, soon afterwards picked up, and carried home to his in consolable father. The deceased was a very steady lad, and the only hope of his parent amid an accumulation of grief. We regret to state that a' poor woman, aged 74, was drowned on Thursday night, whilst in bed, in the kitchen of a respectable citizen, residing in Grafton-street, in consequence of the vaults being flooded by means of the great rain. We understand that the water rose very nearly five feet high in the kitchens of this house. The deceased had lived upwards of 30 years with her master. Many houses in differ ent parts of the city were flooded in a similar manncr._(Dublin lkforning Post.)

POETRY. SONG. If thou could'st know what 'tis to weep, To weep unpitied and alone— The live-long night, whilst others sleep, Silent and mournful watch to keep, Thou would'st not do what I have done. If thou could'st know what 'tis to smile, To smile, whilst scorned by every one— To hide, by many an artful wile, A heart that knows more grief than guile; Thou wculd'st not do what I have done. And, oh ! if thou could'st think how drear, When friends are changed, and health is gone, The world would to thine eyes appear, If thou, like me, to none wen dear, Thou would'st not do what I have done.

The principal writers of that admirable work are distinguished by signature letters; and much has been said of those adopted by Addison, because they form the name of the muse Clio : " When panting Virtue her last efforts made, You brought your Clio to the virgin's aid." But, we must remark, that it does not seem very pro bable that Addison would pay this compliment to his own papers ; and, indeed, it has been conjectured by the best informed, that his signatures refer to the places in which he happened to writc,—C, Chelsea, Iy London, I, Islington, and 0, his office. ‘vit r . - - .....A.41,A•9 • = 4 ".7 - LER oF 7 \ , . 44 4,4. 1-.4\Tlour THE ARMY.

[From the American Papers of the 16th June.] MOBILE, MAY 2.—During the last six weeks our merchants have experienced great inconvenience by the scarcity of vessels to take off the produce, which has been accumulating, and we have now on hand, ready for shipment, one fourth of the whole crop of cotton. It is worthy of remark that, in several instances, shipments have been made, destined for northern ports, by the way of New Orleans, rendered necessary by the difficulty of shipping direct. Our ship-owning neighbours have very much neglected us this season. NEW METHOD OF RIGGING SHIPS.--Lieutenant of the Navy, has devised a plan by which ships' standing rigging may be taken down, and again replaced in part or in whole, in port or at sea, with great facility, and without disturbing the topmasts or yards, which is particularly beneficial, as it en ables a mariner in a gale to replace a lost shroud with as much ease as lie can replace any article of running rigging. It also saves much injury to the mast head, and to the rigging, which both are subject to by placing the eyes of the shrouds and stays over the mast heads. For this valuable improve ment Lieut. Allen has received a patent from the President, under the great seal of the United States, and the new ship John Wills has been rigged on this plan. She now lies at Corlwers Hook, foot of Cherry-street, where ship-owners, ship builders, the members of the Marine Society, and all others in. terested in our national improvements, are invited to call and inspect this renewed display of human intellect —(Arew l'ork Daily Advertiser. ) SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The Second Match, over the same ground, was that a horse. the property of Mr. Wilmot, should trot 14 miles within an hour, in harness, and draw 14 stone, for 100 sovereigns.— The first three miles were done in 12 minutes and 6 seconds ; the next three miles were done in 12 minutes and 24 seconds. The match was won without a break in 50 seconds within time. GAME, The number of grouse which are daily found dead on the nioors, having given rise to various erroneous conjectures as to the cause of so unusual a mortality, we are now, we believe, on the information of a correspondent, enabled to state the real complaint so prevalent among them. A tine old cock bird was taken on the Bth inst. on the moorland of E. TuitToN, Esq. near Thirsk, and was opened by J. DENT, Esq. surgeon of that town. It was found to contain a large quantity of tape worm, which, in all probability has occasioned the death of so many birds, and in a great measure disappointed the hopes of all true sportsmen. In the same neighbourhood a person lately picked up no less than sixty grouse, all in a dying state, and which soon after expired, without any apparent disorder. But if they were afflicted with the tape-worm, their decease is accounted for ; but it is still unexplained why they are more troubled with this complaint in the present year than in any other.—(Du rham Chronicle.) The following singular instance of the destruction of part ridges by ticks or sheep-lice, has been communicated to us as having occurred last week in a field of carraway, near the Half way House, at Minster, in Sheppy. Some pointers in training made a point for some time before any game could be discovered: at length on a search, three young partridges and the old hers were found dead, sitting on their breasts as if asleep. On taking them up and examining them, no cause of their death could be perceived; they were in good order as to flesh, and the hen had lost all her feathers from her breast. They were taken home in order to examine them more closely, and the hen being picked, the inside of her wings, the rump, tail, and the poll of the head, were completely covered with masses of ticks and scarifications, and, if possible, the young ones were more infected, and from this cause there is no doubt was their death produced. The covey had been found several times before : they were a month old, and could fly well. There were no wounds or bruises about them, and their insides were perfectly correct. The Marsh bred birds in Sheppy are very subject to this infection.—( lard ish Gazette.) BOXING. SPRING AND NEAT.—Over a Sporting Dinner at the Wey mouth Arms, the house of the former pugilist, on Friday last, T. Belcher, on the part of Neat, put down £lOO, as did llr.

PARISH AND CABBAGE OF BRISTOL.—The battle between these pugilistic heroes, which takes place on the 20th of August for 50 guineas a-side, excites considerable interest in the gymnastic circle, and a knowing Israelite observes, that a severe contest will be the result, if the men be in good condi tion ; betting is 5t04 on Cabbage. It will be recollected that the Bristol hero was beat by Martin in April 1020, being his first and only exhibition in the London ring. Both are in ac tive training. ARCHERY.

CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 17. Our market is very heavy to-day, and so little doing, that we may consider Monday's prices merely nominal, the purchasers being more disposed to see the state of the weather next week, as the harvest will become pretty general by then throughout the Country, and do not buy beyond their immediate wants. . ,
