THE LONDON JOURNALS. XTRACT3 ritom D ‘ILY MORNING PAPERS, Tune 18, 18'22. [NEW TIMES.] Recognition of the Independence of South America. The following extract of a letter, received last night front. America, brings the important intelli gence of the Congress of the United States having formally recognised the Independence of the countries which lately constituted the Spanish empire of the West. The calculating POlicy of the American government, which keeps its atten tion alWays directed to objects of commercial gain, has naturally led it to the adoption of mea sures, from which it is evident some arrangements beneficial in a coniniercial, if not a political, point of view, are calculated upon. flow far the steps taken by the Governments of Europe in this af fair may tend to give the United States advanta ges over the rest of the world, we do not pretend to know ; but „since it is _evident that Spain her _ self has- abandoned the idea of effecting the re conquest of her ancient colonies, and that.such is understood to bathe opinion of the Governments of Europe, it may be hoped that she will coin cide in placing them' in such a situation as will enable them to turn their great resources to that beneficial account which, with our intercourse restricted by even a nominal hostility, they can seldom accomplish. According to the opinions of many persons most conversant with the affairs of Spain l and South-America, it would appeat to be the true policy of Spain to abandon even the shew of hostile proceedings—fairly , and freely to. Make those concessions. the withholding of which seems now to be _reduced to a matter of form, (since the power of enforcing an 'opposite system no longer exists,)—and by these means to secure_ to themselves - the advantages which a similarity of habits and customs in their colonies for centu ries must have created - ; and which are only likely to be lost by a too fired adherence to the determination of refusing a formal recognition' of tteir independence. These occurrences naturally , turn our attention back to a period within the recollection of many persons now living, when events more directly interesting to us took place in that quarter_ of the world. And it is matter worthy of notice, that within leis than half a century after Spain had contributed by all the means in her power to separate froth this country the States on the Northern Continent of America, which were then our Colonies; she herself will have lost, facto, the sovereignty of the whole of her own territory on both continents—countries often - times the extent of the United States, and rich beyond calculation in all the productions of nature ; -witk a population' one-half more than that of Spain herself, and . above four times that of the United States at the period of their sepa ration from Great 'Britain. The thirteen Colo nies of North America united and declared them selves independent of, the English. Crown on the 4th of July 1776. In February 1778, that inde pendence was ecknoWledged by France—in 1779, by 1732., by Holland—and by the British Parliament in 1783 ; being a period of about 7 years from their own first declaration of Independence. [Extract of a Private Letter from Barton, Mayl9, 1822.] " The seal is put to the termination of Spanish power in South America ; and those fine countries which constitute the southern portion of this henksphere, have received, at the hands of our Government, a complete Act of Recognition of their entire Independence. For the full particulars of this mostim. • portant event I must refer you to the files of newspapers .con taloing the Debates of Congress. This is no half measure on our part, provision being made for carrying the Act of Congress into full effect, by the appointment of Ministers to three of the Governments—Buenos Ayres ' Colombia and Chili ; and in a letter received this morning from Washington, -it is said the Ministers are already named,• and will depart without loss of time. You will be as mach -surprised as I was, to hear that our friend T% is one of the three,—to what Government is not saich •He has talents for every thing that can be re quired of him. It was hoped, that Mr. Clay would have accepted the appointment to . one of'These countries, pro bably. Buenos •Ayres ;' and those who know his thorough acquaintance with the affairs and policy of all the southern continent, expressed great satisfaction at such a prospect;, fog my part I could not hope any thing so favourable, for reasons, among 'others, of etiquette. 1 'am informedthat Official, dispOtch. are sent to all our Ministers and.:Consnls in Europe, announcing this event. What may be the sentiments of Eur9liean Powers on this subject is little thought of here (though it is believed they will concur) ; and it can be of no consequence to the New Countries themselves'; they have pro greisett too firmly and steadily through every difficulty to the situation in which they now find themselves placed, to leave room for doubt as to the maintenance of that independence theY have' so nobly fought for anti- gained.' To the 'Vnited States, as one of the last acts of the Session, belongs the honour of first solemnly admitting them to the full rights of nations— and Spain, by a horrible and unvaried system of misrule through ages, hiS for ever lost some of the . finest; the most fertile, and most extensive regions of the world, whose immense Commerce and varied productions' are now laid open to nations of more enterprise than dicifaticient masters'; and of which I hope we shall have, as, we deserve, a very full share." . ['HIE TIME'.] The repose hitherto enjoyed by Portugal; in the midst of revolution, appears by accounts Loin Lisbon, which arrived yesterday, to have been on the eve of experiencing some disturbance. A, conspiracy has been detected, the objects of which were, to - depose the King, to nominate the Infant Michael 4s the head of the Regency, to dissolve the Cortes, and establish a new Legislative Body, .consisting of two Housesthe Upper Chamber to be composed of the hereditary nobility, and pro bably (although it is not so specified) of some among the higher Ecclesiastics. Finally, to murder all those members of the present Cortes and of. the Mi. nistrr, who are distinguished by their attachment to the free constitution of Portugal.---Such are the views ascribed , to the authors of this conspi racy. Fire men were in custody, all of whoth were seized in the night 'between the Ist and 2d inst.; and though among them there was not any individual of superior rank or importance, there is reason for believing that they were sc cretly hi connexion with many persons of high station and influence. - .Their designs are ga thered from a number of incendiary proclama tions found .upon them, which. they had taken out of a .p rioting - office for immediate dist!' bution. [MORNING lIERALI).] Very littlelmsiness was done in the'House of Commons lasCnight, and that little not of a na ture,to,excite any interest South of the Tweed. The Lord Advocate's Bill to remedy certain thuse;An the municipal administration of Scotch Burghs at length got into a Cowmittee and at length got' out of it' after •a discussion the most prolix and uninteresting of any we ever 14 ea , even upon Scotch questions. If all the otherz ills that are yet pending are to be analysed anis sected with the same scrupulous minuteness; as the one which last night was so thorougt handled, the House may prepare itself to sit till Christmas, and not have done even then. The Scotch have always been allowed to be aniinde fatigable people, and they Are equally so the Senate as elsewhere, no matter what side they take. • [MORNING CIIRONICLE.] We understand that Counts Martinengo and Flumburiarii and Dr. Rossi, have left Paris for this country, to lay the complaints of the, lonian Islanders before the Throne and the; British Nation. Perhaps they are by this time in the metropolis.—The business of the lonian Islands (not omitting Parga) forms altogether an ugly blot on the history of this country. Indeed we know no - one bold enough openly to defend the proceedings in that quarter. From the apathy, however, displayed in the House of Commons at transactions which have excited the most indig nant feelings against this country, in most parts of the Continent, oue would suppose that there is no longer, any sensibility - to national honour among us. We do not require the presence of foreigners with representations to enlighten us on the subject. We have only to look to the official papers published by the Government itself,—we have only to look to The Gazette.—Why it was Nit the other day that accounts of Courts-Martial in the lonian Islands published here, told us that the principal natives of thew Islands had been seized and imprisoned, not as criminals, but merely as hostages. Why, our allies the Turks never go such lengths. And yet no Member of Parliament takes the least notice of these things. They are considered as mere ordinary occurrences - —as. part of a regular system. In former times, such an unchallenged verdict of a British Jury as was . given against Sir Thomas Maitland, for having, "' contrary to the Articles of War, with out the order . of his Majesty, and without any sentence by a'General Court-Martial, or autho rity -from his Majesty, or the Commander.in. Chief, issued and published a certain General Order, by which he, Sir T. Maitland,• as Com mander of the Forces, directed that the pay of Lieutenant-Colonel De Bosset, as Inspect ing Field Officer of Militia, should cease ; falsely alleging in the said Order that his Majesty had declared the services of the plaintiff in that office to be inexpedient." Stich a verdict, we say, against a man in the high and confidential situation of Sir Thomas Maitland, would at least have excited some attention in one or other of our Legislative bodies. But as it did not, we can hardly be surprised at the dreadful measures which have since been pur sued in the lonian Islands. Is it supposed that the neighbourhood of Turkey forms a justifica tion for the Turkish system ?_ Or is magnitude of abuse the best means of silencing complaint? • [MORNING POST.] A. short conversation occurred in the House of Commons last night, relative to the, present state of the • unhappy peasantry in the South-west of Ireland, to which We„,Mast particnlarlyjnireat public attention. We are as conscious and as gratified as we ought !to be, that the people of England have-already made. great and most be nevolent exertions to relieve their starving fellow creatures in the Sister Country; but we regret to say, that much more remains to be done to effect the humane object of saving'. thousands of men, women, and children from dropping down and p e : rishing of absolute hunger. Mr. Vesey Fitzge rald, one of the Members for the county of Clare, in consequence of the dreadful accounts which he had received, put last night a question or two to Mr. Gbtilburn, which elicited facts and infor mation on this subject of the, utmost importance. Mr. John Smith, Chairman of the Committee at the City of London Tavern, stated, with an op pressive sense of feeling, which must have made every human eye glisten, and every human heart shudder, that the authentic accounts which arrived yesterday were . of the most appalling description. From sources beyond all doubt, and after a survey of several Baronies in the County of Clare, there are now found in that county Ninety-nine Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty-nine persons, who have no possible means of existing for many Months but on charity. In the South-west part of the County of Cork, there are One Hundred and Twenty-three Thousand persons in the same horrible situa tion ; whilst in one Barony of the County of Clare many have already perished .of hunger.— Mr. Spring Rice likewise stated, that in the City of, Limerick there are several thon sands of beings also without a hope but charity , ; and these facts were corrobo rated by Sir Edward O'Brien - and , Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald, as well as admitted by the- official authorities present. Is it necessary, in this Chris tian land, and to this generous and religious people; to add a word of comment ? We cannot possibly communicate the effect which' these statements made upon the . House of Commons ; the silence was fearful, and the subdued and afflicted expression of, voice with which the :Members uttered their words, showed how deeply and painfully the calamity was felt by all. The subject was too dreadful to be dwelt on. [BRITISH The Salt Tax was again noticed in the House of Commons last night. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is entitled to credit for the modifica tions of his original plan. He has consented to an abatement of the severity of its pressure upon Ireland and Scotland ; he has also proposed a mitigation in favour of the fisheries, but the inte rests of the country require he should do some thing more. Indeed this tax, as now cut down, will barely suffice to defray the expences of its collection, and the revenue will lose nothing by doihg it away altogether. A very respectable meeting. of sean-owners and others, engaged in the pilchard fishery of Cornwall, was held at the Red Lion Hotel, Truro, on Tuesday last.— Joseph Banfield, Esq. was invited to take the Chair, but on account of his advanced age declined that honour, and Philip Balls Esq. was called on to preside. The business of the day was then commenced by reading the requisition, after which the Chairman briefly adverted to the circumstances which required the attention of the Gentlemen pre sent, and all others who were interested in the success of the Pilchard Fishery. The series of Resolutions were then proposed by Jos. Ban field, Esq, and it was the unanimous opinion of the Meeting that the imposition of 2s. a bushel on salt, used in curing pilchards would annihilate that fishery as a branch of foreig n commerce ; since, with a duty of only 3d. a bushl on the salt now used, the greatest economy was necessary, and sacrifices were often made, to maintain a successful competition in the Italian markets with the fish of France and Spain. The payment of a duty on the importation of salt, even if a drawback were allowed on the exportation of the fish, was strongly objected to, from the uncertainty that attends the fishery. The salt warehoused for curing the fish remains on hand sometimes 2 or 3 years, so that the' importers could only make up the loss of interest on advancing the duty by an increased charge upon the fish. This advance of duty would besides drive all the fish-curers of small capital out of the market, and give a complete mono poly of the article to persons of large fortune. — The resolutions were unanimously adopted, and a petition to the House of Commons was prepared and signed by the persons present. Copies of the Resolutions were directed to be forwarded to the Members for the County, the Members for the -dif ferent Boroughs, the Members for Devon, Ply mouth, Plympton, Dartmouth, &:c., and a depu tation, consisting of the Chairman and Alfred Fox, Esq. was appointed to proceed to town, in order to represent to Ministers, and the Members connected with the county, the fatal conse quences that must result to the pilchard fishery if a duty be imposed on salt generally, even 'though a drawback to the same nominal amount should'be allowed on the exportation of the fish. The pilchards , are already approaching our coasts in considerable quantities. On Thursday week a - shoal was discovered in Gerran Bay, when the Wellington seen was shot, and twelve hogsheads of very fine: fish were enclosed. - The power developed by England in the late war has taught the nations of the Continent to place a just value upon trade, the cultivation of which is now become their favourite policy. This then is the. moment when England should watch with especial care all that remains with her, and par ticularly that which is exclusively her own. The pilchard fishery may be of little comparative v: lue, but it , is a species of commerce of peen liar interest. - FOR THE SUN. NAVIGATION LAWS. Eorroa-LI beg leave again to solicit the most serious attention to the Navigation Bill which has made its 'progress from the House of Commons - to the House of Lords. In the Com mons it has undergone a great many alterations for the better, but it still contains a new prin ciple, inasmuch ,as it allows the ships of the country in which' any goods are deposited, to export them from 'thence into Great Britain. By this new principle Holland and other coun tries may carry on all our European trade in their own ships ; and by the Warehousing Bill all goods whatever imported from foreign places in foreign ships may also be warehoused for ex portation (except as by law excepted). This is a navigation clause in the Warehousing Bill which is directly at" variance with the Navigation Bill itself ; as in that Bill the goods, produce, and manufacture of Asia, Africa, and America, are to be imported direct from the respective countries_of their growth in a British ship, or in a ship of the country of which they are the pro duce. Then, as to Europe, by the new Bill, the goods of. Turkey must come direct in a British ship, or in a ship of the country ; and from the other parts qf Europe foreign ships loading car goes in any other 'country but their own, are to effect a bona fide landing of these cargoes in their own ports, and then the re-shipment gives them the privilege of bringing such goods to England. If we examine, it will appear that there is a great difference even between these new prin ciples and the more extensive principle . con tamed in the Warehousing Lill, vhich in opposition to the restrictions that even the new Navigation Bill has laid on foreign shipping (to prevent them from destroying our carrying trade and thereby annihilating our national defence) the clause in the Warehousing Bill gives to foreign shipping the range of the whole world, and allows them to deposit their cargoes from every quarter of the globe in England for exportation. Every person tharhas a knowledge of navigation and commerce must immediately see that this will give great facilities to foreign shipping, as it will allow them 'to bring the produce of the East Indies, South America, the Brazils, the Havan nah, St. Domingo, &c. &c.; in short,- from all parts of the world every description of gopds necessary for exportation, which is allowing foreigners the chance•of a great part of our direct trade from all parts of the world and exporting it again to other countries, and that to the exclu sion of so much employment of our own ships and seamen. I am most earnestly solicitous that the atten tion of the Legislature should tie drawn to this clause in the Warehousing Bill, that they may assimilate the one Bill with the other, as respects the ships in which goods shall be imported, otherwise .the Warehousing Bill will prove a most injurious measure, as it expressly supersedes the other Bill and all preceding Acts of Puna. ment.--At any rate the clauses in .this' Bill should be made clear and intelligible, that the extent of our concessions to foreigners should be known ; and if this construction of these intended Acts of the Legislature is erroneous, some expla nation ought certainly to be given on the subject. A' SHIP OWNER. The late STEPHEN GEO. KEMBLE, Esq. ( From The Durham Advertizer, June 14.) This worthy charaeter whose death was re corded in our last, was the third son of Mr. ROGEn KEMBLE, and brother of Mr. JOHN KEMBLE, 'of Mrs. SIDDONS, and of Mr., CHARLES KEMBLE, those distinguished ornaments of the British stage. Mr. STEPHEN KEMBLE was born on the 3d of May, 1758, at Kingston; in Herefordshire. His fa - ther forcibly impressed with the uncertainty of the theatrical profession, resolved to devote his son Stephen to a pursuit that seemed less precarious—and for this purpose, after giving him as good an education as could be obtained, at so early an age as that at which boys are usually sent into the world, he placed him as an apprentice to anerninent surgeon at Coventry. His son, however, disliked the profession ; and having imbibed, in his intercourse with the theatrical company of which Mr. Roger Kemble was .manager, a propensity for the stage, he left his master, and joined in an itinerant company at Kidder minster. From that period he devoted himself wholly to the stage, till a change of circumstances—the fruits of his talents and industry—enabled him to retire from it with a comfortable independence. • ' It would be as fruitless as difficult to pursue Mr. Kemble through,the whole of his theatrical career. It is sufficient to say, that having a strong partiality for the stage, and an excel lent understanding, he gradually improved in his art; and after acquiring considerable reputation in various parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland, he made his first appearance on the Lon don boards at Covent-Garden Theatre in September, 1783. The part he chose was Othello, and he_supported it with truth, feel ing; and judgment. In the November following, Mr. Kemble was married to Miss Satellell of the same theatre—a young lady who had deser vedlyA acquired high estimation with the public. 'ln the course of the following year, an unlucky misunder standing with the prop:ietors of the theatre induced Mr. and Mrs. Kemble to relinquish their connection with it. They left the capital, and entered into enegements with some of the provincial managers. They remained a few years in the country performing with gfeat success, but were invited by the elder Colman, an excellent judge of theatrical merit, to join his company at the summer theatre in the Haymarket. Here Mr. and Mrs. Kemble had many opportunities of displaying -their talents, and increasing their reputation. The situation, however, of being dependent on• the will and judgment of a manager not agreeing with Mr. Kemble's feelings and hopes, he became a manager himself, and conducted for some years the theatres of Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Newcastle-upon- Tyne. He afterwards joined to his theatrical circuit the Dur ham, Sunderland, North and South Shields, Stockton, 'and .Scarborough theatres_; and in 1800 he relinquished the Edin burgh and Glasgow theatres. In 1806, Mr. Kemble retired from the management of the Newcastle Theatre, and in- the following year he sub-let the whole of the other theatres (of -which he had obtained a long lease from Mn'. Cawdell, the widow of the former manager) to Messrs. Anderson and Faulkner. Obtaining a considerable reputation in various places by his performance of Falstaff, Mr. Kemble was ambitious to have his provincial fame ratified by the decision of a London au silence, and .having signified his wishes to the proprietors of Drury-lane Theatre, they readily acquiesced, and he visited the metropolis in consequence a few years ago. He performed several times with. the greatest success, and he repeated his performance before a London audience some time afterwards. in Auglist„ 1818,..when the- affairs of Drury. Lane Theatre were not in the most prosperous state, and while the share holdeis were divided amongst ffiemselves, Mr. Kemble was pointed by the sub-committee to the arduous situation of Ma nagerof chat theatre—a' situation which lie filled with great credit to himself, apd satisfaction, as far as was possible, to the conflicting parties who were interested in the success of the establishment. At the close of the season, Mr.. Kemble return.' .ed into the country, resolved to spend his remaining days in peace and quietness, though he has since occasionally perform ed, and given public readings. He made his final appearance upon the stage so lately,.as the 20th of last month, when he performed in the Durham Theatre the part of Sir Christopher Curry, in the play of hide and Yarico, for the benefit of Mr. and Miss Bland, to whom he gave his gratuitous assistance. As an actor Mr. Kemble was always correct and impressive, and in hig best days he was unrivalled in the 'character we have just named. He alsos excelled in the parts of Sir Anthony Absolute, Sit. Robert Bramble, and such others as were marked with inflexible integrity and genuine worth; and no man per haps read Shakspeare with more correctness, or delivered the sentiments of that great author with finer effect. Of his decla mation we need only quote the opinion of one than, to establish its excellence—the late Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Esq. said of' Mr. Stephen. Kemble, that he was the best declaimer he had ever heard on or off the - stage. • We have hitherto spoken,of Mr. Kemble only in his public character a's an actor ; in private life lie was also distinguished, and few men will be equally missed from the society in which they move. For the.last ten years of his life (if we except his occasional absence) he had resided at the Grove, a delightfully Pleasant and retired spot, which he purchased in the Mime diate vicinity of this city. He was very generally acquainted with, the inhabitants of Durham, and as generally respected;— possessed of a kind and affable disposition, and of an intelli gent rn.ind, well stored .With the materials to promote social har mony., his company was much sought after, and he invariably Contributed to the enjoy ment of those with whom he associated. He was always among the foremost in the ranks of loyalty and patriotism,- and we have frequently, heard him declare, he felt grateful that he lived under so excellent a King, and so ad mirable a form of Government. His benevolence was another striking characteristic, as he was ever ready to afford relief to suffering, hypartity . ; the benefits which he so frequently gave to the public charities, during his theatrical management, stand reCorded, and will for ages shed a lustre on his memory. • Mr. Kemble closed his mortal career on:Wednesday the stli instant. He was interred on Tuesday last the 11th, within the Chapel of the Nine Altars, at the eastern extremity of the Ca thedral Church of' Durham. The funeral was intended to have been private,,but many of the friends of the deceased simulta neously assembled to pay the last sad tribute of respect, and they accompanied the mournful procession from Mr. Kemble's late residence to the Abbey. The chief mourners were Mr. Henry Kemble, the son of the deceased, Mr. Arlswright, his son•-m-law, and .Mr. Bland, nephew to :Mrs: Kemble. The funeral service was performed in an impressive manner by.the Rev. W. N. Darnell, B.D. one of the Prebendaries of Dur ham, and the body was committed to the silent tomb in the presence of many hundreds of spectators who appeared gene rally'to mourn the loss which society had sustained. Just as we had finished the above imperfect sketch, we re ceived the following lines from 'Stockton : MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTION For the late STEPHEN GEORGE KEMBLE, Esq. Comedian.

SUDDEN DEATII.—A woman named Chambers was charged in the St. Giles's watch-house book, with an assault at Marlborough-street Police Office, yesterday ; and her sister, who was a witness in her behalf, was waiting at Mr. Wright's, the Marlborough Head, opposite the Office, with a young 'child in her arms. It was covered over with a shawl, and sup posed to be sleeping, but on uncovering the face it was found to be a corpse. MELANCHOLY ACClDENT.—Yesterday morn• as Mr. Knight, a respectable tradesman, residing in St. John's-square, Clerkenwell, accompanied by his wife, severa• of his children, and some friends,. were going over the upper part of the Wellington Brewery, in the City-road, to view the apparatus; Mrs. Knight, not perceiving an aperture in the floor,' fell through into the' landing below. * Her legs, thigh, and collar-bone were broken, and she was taken up in an almost lifeless state.
