A Government that is solid and stable, recognized, and the faithful observer of treaties, is disposed to negotiate with in surgent provinces of America, and offers to other nations the greatest commercial advantages. It would be impossible to I,oint out (though the quest i on were reduced to a simple calcu ation of interests) an object which could serve as a counterpoise In the opposite scale. Civil war and anarchy, which are often the consequence of revolution, and more particularly when, as in America, its elements are heterogeneous and opposite, are assuredly not cal culated t o i ncrease the exc h angea bl e pro d uct i ons o f a country, nor to attract foreigners, by offering them that safety which l eaves no d ou b t, and which is the soul of commerce ; neither can vacillati ng G overnments d o it, p recar io u s in their nature and w ithout guarantee, which cannot themselves secure the ad vantages h whi c h t h e y th emse l ves p r esent. Buenos Ayres, a b a ndoned to itself, has endeavoured in vain, for the last 12 ,j e ars, to consolidate a Government. The wretchedness and , e r e pulation of the provinces of the Main, instead of advancing, removed to a greater distance the epoch of their prosperity 4 . 11 (1 their riches. In affairs of this nature, and when facts (atinllie to the support of reasoning, it is useless to oppose vag u e i l i ndefinite hopes to certain and known results. the ut it appears that a new calamity has arrived to increase evils which might have been foreseen.

SOLE 11 QUIS DICERE FALSUM .lUDE4T LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1822. We refer our Readers to our other columns f or the important Manifesto of the Spanish Go vernment, and to the interesting Debates in the of Commons last night, particularly re -BPecting the recent atrocities of the Turks at t'°nstantinople and Scio. The Spanish Docu 4'ent also demands particular attention, as it de elopes of f icially the sentiments of Spain respect ing her former transatlantic possessions.—Both Of th ese subjects are highly important, and de mand more animadversion than we have room for at Present ; but we shall forthwith revert to them w ith due consideration. aria Papers of Wednesday and Thursday have arrived. In the French Chamber of De- P tn ieS the discussion on the projet of law for the regulation of the Customs was continued, in wh ich M. de ST. CRICQ, Director General of the C usto ms, stated i n b road terms the principle on hich t h e French Government propose to regu 14te the foreign trade of France. CC Our doc (g he said " is comp r i ze d i n th ese cc Ws rus purchase from others the least " possible amount of those commodities which cc we cannot produce ourselves, and to fur " nish to others the greatest possible amount "of what they do not produce, or of cc what we can supply them on conditions suit " able to them." M. SEDASTIANI approved of the restrictive measures proposed by the Govern ment respecting iron and cattle, but objected to those relative to sugars. This speaker entered into a variety of arguments, to shew the necessity of granting the Colonies a free and unrestricted trade, and of lowering the duties on foreign sugars. On the subject of the duties on iron and cattle, he contended that the late war had increased the importance of the iron works of France to such an extent as to render it incumbent on the Go- vernment to protect them by restrictions on foreign iron ; and that the introduction of foreign cattle on several points of their frontiers would be ruin ous to French agriculture. We extract the fol lowing passages of the report of M. SEBASTIANI'S speech : " The introduction of English iron by the continuation of the present system, would be the ruin of the manufacturers of French iron ; I vote with so much • the more eagerness for the measure proposed by the law respecting this article, be cause it is with iron that the liberty and independence of nations is defended—(laughter and murmurs on the right)—and that we ought not to depend upon our neighbours, too often punished for having it placed largely at our disposal: " 1 regard also as ruinous to our agriculture the introduction on several points of our frontiers of foreign cattle. It is a me laneoly consideration that this measure should re-act upon our neighbours of Germany and Piedmont: but I cannot conceal my astonishment as to the harsh measures ordered hythose na tions against the products of our soil and our industry. Tilt.) , may, without insult, without ill-humour, oppose Custom-house measures to Custom-house measures, but a nation of 30,000,000 inhabitants, which fought for their independence and their ag grandisement, does not deserve so much ingratitude—(move ments in different senses.) " A voice, Yes, Germany owes us much obligation.' N. Sebastiani—" They treat in general the French Govern ment with a lightness truly lowering to national dignity. " The Speaker pointed out respecting cattle an omission in the projet, the tariff on lean cattle not being enough, and offer ing facilities to fraud. In this view the proposed measures woe at least incomplete; your agriculture has made immense pro gress; it may still. I hope that, following the example of the Germans, we shall soon feed our cattle with potatoes. It is ac knowledged that the same quantity of land cultivated with na tural or artificial products, which can only feed one ox, will feed at least seven when planted with potatoes." On the 2.6 th the debate on this Law was re sumed, when M. Laic E, who opened it, quoted the example of England, in justification of severe commercial restrictions ; and " the system of prohibition," he said, " to which the continen " tal blockade had given an immense application during the " war, had been continued and even extended since the peace. " After having been directed at first against England, and then " against France, it had been put in practice by all states " against each other. England, now imitated every where, had " first adopted the system, and it was not, therefore, very re " markable, that, finding it enforced against her, she should be " inclined to change her practice. She had derived from prohibi " tions all the advantages that she could hope for; she had ac " cumulated immense capitals : her industry had been so much " developed, that she was obliged to seek for a large outlet, and " perhaps on this account she had come to the point of saying " now we will receive you, only receive us.' " After some other considerations on the external and internal commerce of France, and having pointed out the advantages which would arise by treaties and commercial relations with new states, without, however, expressing any opinion on the political question, M. Leine declared his opinion in favour of continuing and ex tending the relations of the kingdom with the Indies, with Bra zil, and the Havannah. He strongly objected to the imposition of a duty on foreign sugars, sufficiently high to enable the co lonies to sell their produce at 83f., as was proposed in the pro ject, pointing out the danger which would resent from fixing by law an atbitrary price upon commodities. If the colonies were gratified in a claim of this kind, he saw no reason for refusing it to the growers of grain or possessors of vineyards. He thought it at least doubtful whether the French colonies could supply a sufficient quantity of sugar for the consumption of France, and therefore if foreign sugar were prohibited, or subjected to pro hibitory duties, the price of the article would rise in a proportion not to be calculated. The Ex-Minister concluded by proposing to reduce to 25c. the duty on the exportation of wine for whatever country destined. An interruption succeeded, when M. de PO3IPIERES endeavoured to speak, and his opponents to pro. tect themselves against his speech by cries of " question." He, however, persisted, and was heard. The greatest part of his speech consisted in the defence of a free trade. Can you hope," said he, " that in prohibiting the introduction of foreign " produce, foreigners will not prohibit yours ? If you can con " ceive such a hope," added he, " I will refer you to our his " tory for its frustration. In 1666, COLBERT imposed heavy " duties upon articles of foreign manufacture; Holland re " monstrated, and on the refusal to alleviate them, she pro " hibited our wines, our brandies, and our manufactures."— Various amendments were then proposed. One member sug gested that the duties on sugars from the French colonies should be reduced 1-4th on their present amount. Another, that the duties on sugar should be reduced to 10f. per quintal. The last proposition was rejected. The following are extracts : PARIS, JUNE 20.—The Journal de Maine et Loire of the 20th instant says :—" This morning General Berton, Dela lande and Baudriller were conveyed from the Castle of Saumur in the direction of Poitiers. The carriage in which they were placed was escorted by a great part of the Regiment of Cara bineers of Monsieur." His Royal Highness Monsieur has granted 500 francs for the establishment at Brest of a School of Brethren of the Christian doctrine. A Courier set out on Monday from the Russian Embassy for St. Petersburgh. - FRENCII FUNDS.-JUNE 26. Five per Cents. Opened at Closed at 9l f. 75 c. Bank Stock Exchange on London—One Month 25 f. 55 c. Three Months 25 f. 35 c. ODESSA, JUKE I.—lt appears certain that the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia will not be evacuated, but that only the Asiatic troops have been sent beyond the Danube, and replaced by European troops. But this forms, perhaps, a clause in the convention concluded at Constantinople under the mediation of the English and Austrian Ambassadors. There is still a garrison of 5,000 men at Bucharest. Our letters from Constantinople are of the 29th May. They continue to relate the greatest horrors, especially as to the sale, of slaves. The children of Chio under seven years of age, whom no one will purchase, are drowned. The extermination of the Greek na tion appears to be determined upon. PETERSBURGH, MAY 14.—The exchange of couriers be tween our Cabinet and that of Vienna is very frequent. The Guards are expected here immediately. His Imperial Majesty, after reviewing them at Minsk, will himself issue the orders for their return ; a part of the Guards will occupy the residence, and the rest will be cantoned during the summer in the neighbourhood. The number of the Conservatcur Impartial, published yester day, contains the official recital of the disasters at Scio. The Gazette ileademique gave yesterday the itinerary day by day of the Turkish troops which have evacuated Moldavia and Wallachia. It is impossible now to doubt a fact which is the most certain guarantee for the maintenance of peace. PAMPELUNA, JUNE 18.—Five hundred armed men are in the mountains, in different parties, waiting a favourable op portunity to join General Quesada, who is at the head of 600 men at Saint Jean Pied de Port. This General has circu lated Proclamations, which have produced a great sensation. BARCELONA, JUNE 15.—The insurgents commanded by Mosen-Anton, to the number of 800 men, were beaten at Olost, near Vich, on the 10th instant. General Milans, known in the war of independence, left Vich, to attack them with his divi sion. The firing commenced at four o'clock in the morning, and at half-past six the rebels abandoned the field of battle to the constitutional troops, leaving one hundred dead on the spot, and a more considerable number wounded. Six in surgents, taken with arms in their hands, were tried on the following day by a Court Martial. Four were condemned and shot ; the two remaining were spared, on account of their ex treme youth. MUNICH, JUNE 15.—The measures adopted by the Bava rian Government in imposing very heavy duties on all articles coming from France have now been officially published, and take effect immediately. The following particulars chew the vast additions made to the duties : Old Duty. Florins. Florins. French Wines, without difference or excep tion, per cwt. - • - - French Spirits, Liqueurs, &c. per do. Silk Goods, per do. - - Jewellery, Trinkets, Perfumery, &c. French Porcelain - - 20 5 30 10 100 20 100 20 100 20 20 - - Olive Oil - - 1i Colonial Produce, as Coffee, Cocoa, Sugar of all kinds, per cwt. - - - 5 3\ These duties to be levied without regard to the State from which they are imported into the kingdom. Only some excep tions will be made (aftei previous understanding and agree ment) with respect to those neighbouring States which shall adopt similar measures. The transit of the above articles through Bavaria to be allowed as heretofore, on payment of the established duties. CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 26._.A cry of horror will resound throughout Europe, when the new cruelties in Scio are made known. All are massacred. Even the 78 Prelates, who were detained as hostages, have been cut to pieces in the fort. The generous French consul, Degeon, is the most to be pitied.—He had gone into the villages and proclaimed the Turkish amnesty, and at the same time pledged himself for the Sultan's giving pardon. The inhabitants on this surrendered all their arms; on which the Asiatics fell on thirteen villages, and executed a general massacre. All fell without defenqe under the sword of the Turks, who behaved with the most refined cruelty. The whole island is a sepulchre ; the few women and children who were sheltered in the French consulate are in the deepest misery. Some Greeks still combat in the mountains, but their destruc tion is certain. These events have excited such terror here, that nobody ventures to intercede for a Greek family, for fear of being included in the same proscription.—( A/genuine Zei tung, June 18.) SE MLI Ju NE 3.—Letters from Bitaglia, of May 23, have been received at Belgrade, from which it appears that conster nation prevails in that part of the country. The Turks are advancing in great force towards Larissa. The agents of the English are said to have succeeded in inducing the Suliots and Albanians to submit to Chourschid Pacha, who will soon effect his junction with the Pacha of Salonicha to march through Li vadia against the Morea. Decisive events may therefore soon be expected in those parts. Nothing but a miracle can save the Greeks, as affairs now stand. It is affirmed that the opera tions of the Turks, both by sea and land, are directed by En glish officers, and that they have promised entirely to quell the insurrection of the Greeks before the termination of the nego ciations with Russia.—(-11/gnzeine Zeitung, June 17.) Madrid Papers to the 20th instant arrived yes terday by an extraordinary conveyance. In the Universal of the 16th we find an explanation addressed to the Cortes by Don RAMON Liu, who was Minister of the Interior when General RIEOO was dismissed. This Ex- Minister says, that in consequence of seeing a representation of EtEGo to the Cortes, strongly censuring his conduct, and call ing for his impeachment, he was ind uce d to offer this statement for his own justification. He declares that RIEGo had no right to make the complaint which,he did, because, in signing the order for depriving him of the general command of Arra gon, he infringed no article of the Constitution, and broke no law of the kingdom. In conclusion, he demands that if his trial is to go on before the Commission to which it was referred, he should be heard in his own defence. An interesting discussion took place in the Cortes on the 15th on the State of the Nation, when the Report of the Com mission was referred to, and its suggestions taken into consi deration. Senor GALTANO said he was disposed to agree to most of its recommendations, although he would strongly ob ject to receive the whole of them. He agreed with the commis sionin thinking that the lamentable state of the country arose from various causes, some of which were inevitable ; that many of the evils which afflicted them sprung up with the very Re form on which they had placed their hopes of ultimate benefit ; but that others arose from the discontent of protected indi viduals, and were fomented by foreigners—by a foreign go vermnent, which the Cortes had denominated the most odious of all Europe, because it employed its forces against a neigh bouring nation, which it had not courage to oppose face to face. Senor CASTEJAN quoted a part of the report, and found fault with many parts of the system which had been pursued since the re-establishment of the constitution, and the delays observed in some celebrated processes and dispositions made by the different departments, the motives of which he could not comprehend. After some observations from ARGUELLES, and several other members, the Cortes agreed to receive the report of the Commission. From the proceedings of the Sitting of the Cortes of the 16th day, we give the following extract relative to the late loan : There was read this day a dispatch from the Minister of Finance, which stated, that m consequence of the decree of the Cortes respecting the loan negociated between the late Minister VALLEJO and the house of ARDO U IN, I3U,BAIID, and Co., there had been various conferences held with the contractors, and the result was, that they had changed the conditions ac. cording to the plan which had been submitted to the Cortes for its approbation. The plan was then read. Senors Iminiz, FERRER, and CANGA, requested a Special Commission on the subject, and the result being against them, the Deputies CANGA and FERRE n said, they could not concur with the late Committee, of which they were members, because they could not understand the subject. It was then agreed that this plan should be referred to the First Finance Committee, to prepare it with proper dispatch." American Papers arrived in town this morning. Charlestown Papers to the Ist of June. We extract the following from them : HAVANNA'', MAY 12.—The Commandant of the Customs has been arrested and thrown into the I%loro, for personally as sisting in smuggling, and the vessel, an American schooner, seized. His brother the Treasurer, was likely to keep him com pany, for his fidelity to the Revenue. These are two patriotic young men, who obtained their offices for their vociferous at tachment to the Constitution. Vera Cruz is in a bad way ; the fortress will not suffer any vessel to enter. CunAcoA, MAY 4.—General MORALES has still a consi derable force under his command, and was, according to the last accounts, on the coast, near the bite of Maracaybo. The last arrivals from Coro bring accounts that no vessel would be allowed to watch on the coast in possession of the Columbians for the space of 14 days. This measure had been adopted to prevent the escape by sea of MoItALES or his troops. FRENCH TREATY.—I have it from what I deem an un questionable source, that the leading points have been agreed upon at Washington ; the treaty will probably be for eighteen months, on terms of reciprocal equality. P. P. F. DEGRAND. (Prom Degrand's Weekly Report.) We feel happy in giving additional publicity to the follow ing letter, which has beeii written by order of the Marquis Wellesley. It fully demonstrates his Excellency's anxiety to prevent a recurrence of the unfortunate calamities that now so alarmingly prevail in so many quarters : " CIRCULAR. " The Lord Lieutenant being desirous of learning the pro bable extent of the potatoe crop of this season, as compared with that of each of the two preceding years ; and his Excellency hav ing commanded me to procure this information from the opi nious of intelligent and practical men in the different counties in Ireland, I take the liberty of requesting that you will answer the enclosed queries from information you can procure, within a week at farthest, and any further observations you are good enough to communicate will be very acceptable.

Yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, the Duchess of Gloucester and the Princess Augusta embarked on board the Admiralty barge, at Vauxhall-bridge, under the command of Admiral Sir H. Burrard Neale, where their Royal Highnesses proceeded, accompanied by their Ladies in Waiting, to Kew, towed by one of the steam packets. Their Royal Highnesses were joined at Kew by the Prince and Princess of Denmark. The Royal party partook of an elegant dejeune at three o'clock, in the Cottage, in the Royal Gardens. THE HON. MRS. COCERANE.—This Lady was at home last night at her house in Portman-square, to a small, but brilliant assembly. The Duke of Beaufort entertained a select party at dinner yesterday, at his house in Grosvenor-square. General Ross had a dinner party yesterday, at his house in Portland-place. The Earl of Sefton had a select party at dinner yesterday, at his house in Arlington-street. The Hon. Mr. Gray entertained a party of his distinguished friends to dinner yesterday, at his house in Charles-street, Berkeley-square. The Duke of SussEx last night gave a vocal concert in Kensington Palace, at which were present the Princesses AUGUSTA and SOPHIA, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, the Duchess of KENT, the Princess FEODORE, the Prince and Princess of DENMARK, the Marchioness of DOWNSHIII.E, Earl GREY, and about sixty of the Nobility, &c. &c. It was the wish of the Royal host to gratify his guests in general, and particularly the Danish Prince and Princess, with the vocal music of the British Isles,, and with none but British Performers. The Performers on this occasion were Miss GOODALL, HAWES, KING, LEETE, BROADHURST, and Master ORMSBY. Messrs. GOODALL, HAWES, KING, and LEETE gave specimens of English music, in glees, &c.— BROADHURST sung Scotch airs, and Master ORMSBY Sung Irish melodies. Sir GEORGE SMART presided. The favourite pieces were HAWES'S glee, " We're a Noddin," which was sung in the first act, and called for in the second, and KNYVETI'S glee, the " Red Rose." They went off with true British spirit. This patronage of native music by the Royal Duke is a laudable ,example to two Dukes iu Piccadilly, who pa tronize none but foreigners, ou similar occasions. ARGYLL ROOMS.—Madame CATALANI, to the honour of her feelings, exerted her great talents, last night, for the benefit of the Suffering Irish, the Prisoners confined for small Debts, and the Refuge for the Destitute. We regret that we are obliged to be very brief in our report of a Con cert for so laudable a purpose. We regret also to say, that the Rooms were not so well at tended as might be expected, considering the powerful talents employed, and the meritorious occasion. CATALANI sung in her very best man ner, and was encored in " Rode's variations," and Mademoiselle MA RIN ON E displayed consi derable merit in a duet with CATALANI. So much for Italian talents. Our fair countrywoman, Miss H. A SHE, sang " Sweet Bird" in such a finished and impressive style as excited as loud applause as we ever heard. Her father's flute, in the accompaniment, was all that could be de sired. This young Lady inherits the perfect shake and correct intonation of her mnther, who is allowed to be the sweetest " Sweet Bird," since the days of BILLINGTON.—BEGREZ and KELNER did not attend, nor was any apology made for their absence. Miss PATON was to have joined in a duet, but was prevented by the absence of another Performer. She made ample compensation by the admirable manner in which she sung Mary of Castle Gary. YANIEWIC Z was the Leader ; and a delightful duet on the violin and the piano forte was performed by him and his accomplished daughter. Mr. Pio CIAN CHETTINI sat at the piano forte. The Concert in general was highly gratifying. ST. MA RY..LE-STRAND.—Yesterday the Officers of this Parish, agreeably to the Will of the late FRANCIS WINGR AVE, Esq., distributed six shil lings to a number of its poor, and other dona tions to the paupers in its Workhouse on the Greenwich Road.—The company, consisting of many of the most respectable inhabitants of St. Mary-le-Strand and St. Clement's Danes, after wards dined at the Crown and Sceptre, Green wich. Mr. PARISH, the Churchwarden, was the Chairman, and he supported the office with ability and spirit. Sir RICHARD BIRNIE and several Gentlemen added to the festivity of the day, by some excellent songs. Many loyal and constitutional toasts were given, and the memory of FRANCIS WINGRAVE, Esq. was drank in re spectful silence. The company retired at an early hour, after a day of festivity heightened by benevolence. The Royal Sovereign Yacht, Capt. Sir Join; BRgwToar, arrived in the Downs from the River, on Tuesday morning, in order to be in readiness to convey the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE to the Continent. A Duel took place yesterday morning on Finchley Common between Captain N--s and Mr. M—D--s, in consequence of a dispute at the Opera. The first fire was without effect, and in the second the Captain was slightly wounded in the side, but not so as to prevent him walking away.—lnformation had been given of the affair to the Police, but too late. DREADFUL CONFLAGRATIONS. Last night, about half-past eleven o'clock, a most alarming fire, attended with the most cala mitous circumstances, was discovered in the workshop of Mr. WHITE, Shipwright and Boat builder, at Rotherhithe-wall, near the Fountain. stairs ; and before any means could be procured to stop its progress, the destructive elementburst forth with tremendous violence, and carried every thing away before it with uncontroulable fury, and the only approach to the burning building was, unfortunately, so enveloped in flames that it could not be come at without the utmost peril. In a short period the flames commu nicated to the granaries of Mr. THOMAS, lately held by Mr. EvANs, which immediately be came one solid body of flame. The devouring element soon spread its ravages to the adjoining stores and granaries of Mr. EvANs, and crossed the road to other of his premises. Messrs. RIGBY'S and FORNAN'S extensive premises also fell a sacrifice, and near one o'clock the scene became truly awful, and persons in a state of nudity were traversing the streets in a state of dis traction, most of their residences being in flames. The flames having attained their height,the firemen turned their attention on the " Old Justice" pub lic-house, which was sound. The Sun and London Insurance Companies' floating engines having ar rived, an immense column of water was thrown on the fire and adjoining buildings, and the pre mises of Messrs. SPECK and REDMAN were saved with difficulty. A very fair idea may be formed of the loss of grain when we state that the populace, for several streets considerably be yond the flaming buildings, were ancle deep in grain. No idea can be formed as to the origin of the fire; and we are happy to state no lives were lost. All the parties were insured in the full amount. Another most dreadful and alarming fire broke out about one o'clock on the premises of Mr. FEARON, the Jeweller, of the Strand. A Gentle man, named GEESON, passing perceived some smoke coming through the railing, and instantly gave an alarm ; and a man and servant girl were taken out of the house, which very soon were a mass of flames. A strong picquet of the Foot Guards were on the ground, and prevented every species of peculation ; and a very strong power of water being play e d on th e 'house, confined the dreadful element to one house, which was completely consumed, with all the stock of jew ellery, &0., &c., not one article being saved. Several of the most distinguished Members of Parliament, among whom were Lord EARDLEY, Mr.' PEEL, Mr. BROUGHAM, Mr. SMITH, Mr. CREEVEY, exerted themselves in a way highly honourable to their courage and feelings.— Mr. FEARON and family were out of town. It is said that the fire commenced in the kitchen. The value of the stock consumed is estimated at 53,000/., and Mr. FEARON is only insured for 20,000/. At one time serious apprehensions were entertained for the adjoining houses, but they all escaped. The firemen exerted them selves in a praiseworthy manner. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

On Saturday last a water spout was seen at Coombe Bisset, three miles from Salisbury, by some mowers at work in the adjoining fields, it had the appearance of a dense cloud ; then as sumed the form of a corkscrew, and descended so low as to come within their reach. It after wards burst in a most tremendous torrent near Amesbury. !sent: gg it s 1 witli , t igtlS Artie' of t h e ra ting hr 0 po wer ,f this en the of e%. spain raga' aq CC ! i g Ear . tac ° cane' in see' all the 1
