The Paris Papers of Saturday contain intelli gence from Spain to the 13th which possesses considerable interest. All was tranquil at Madrid t I P to that period, the change of Ministry was nearly completed, and the rebellious guards, in stead of making good their retreat to the country, as' 'was stated in some of the French Journals, have been , made prisoners or entirely dispersed. A refutation is also given to the report, circulated by the same papers, that the regiment of Royal C arabineers hail been joined by some regiments of militia in Andalusia, and that the army of re volters amounted to 8,000 men ; on the contrary advices have been received of their total defeat by the very militia, which was said to have made "rumor cause with them. It weals that a Note has been addressed to th e S panish Ministry by all the EuropeanAmbas sad() r s and Ministers at Madrid, with the excep tion of the British Minister, declaring that they would regard any attempt on the KING'S person 48 an act of hostility to their respective Courts. Th e reply of the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs is expressed in terms of moderation and firmness which leave no doubt as to the safety of the o narch, whose person is retidered sacred and in- Ileh t bi e by the fundamental law of the State. a preceding column we have given copious "tr acts relative to these interesting events.

" We cannot but re gard " l is act of interference, on the part of the 4teign Ambassadors, immediately after a flagrant t te o)pt h a d b een made to overthrow the Consti tution by a Military Insurrection, as 'extremely , e j . 4(li cinus, i mproper, and ill-timed ; and we k j°i ce that t h e prudence and good sense of the -4- fr o ePresentative of Great Britain withheld him In committinglleiu this country to a proceedin g scr to ' lable in itself, and only calculated r es Prov oke that very calamity which it pro- Wer edl Y seek s to avert. The revolted Guards A rt ; Promptly subdued by the valour and excessesnes of the Constitutional Troops. No 4 0 t of any kind followed their triumph : oo .` a ck upon the Court :—no dictation to the 4 stitut %m olt. ed Authorities :—no massacre of the no or of * °r suspected abettors of the insurrection, the civil or religious partisans of the dis- 1 affected :—no:ebullition of popular indignation or fury in acts of pillage, rapine, and car nage :—no disposition to supersede the func tions of the law, to which the investigation and punishment of the • revolt were tranquilly surrendered, after the open attack of an armed force had been courageously repelled. Under such circumstances, it was indecorous in any of the Ambassadors even to appear to treat the discomfited party as the party of the KING, and the victorious Constitutionalists, who had only employed force for the repression of vio lence, as his enemies. If t'he KING'S person should be seized, then, indeed, it might become the duty of the Representatives of Foreign Courts to exert all their influence for his protection ; but, while the forms of the Constitution are main tained, and so long as the KING continues in the exercise of those functions which the Constitu tion has assigned to him, all foreign interference must be deemed equally impolitic and unjust. Jamaica Papers arrived this morning to the 13th June. The following are extracts [From the Rayal Gazette of the Bth June.'] " We learn by the Minerva, that about the latter end of April a battle was fought between General BOLIVAR and the Regiment of Arragon, aided with the Natives of Pasto, which, after a great Struggle, was decided in favour of the Co lumbians, by a reinforcement of 800 men arriv ing before the action was concluded; the Inde pendents, however, merely maintained their ground, both parties having suffered great loss. The army of BOLIVAR was estimated at 5000 effective troops, and the Royal , forces amounted to an equal number at least. The statement of BoLtvart having entered Quito is incorrect ; the inhabitants of that country continue firm to the Royal cause, and the Clergy have given up all their plate of the numerous churches, to be coined into money for the support of the troops. • !" Advices from Lima,- of the 7th April, have been received at Panama, at which time SAN MARTIN was preparing to march for Upper Peru with an army pf 8000 effective men, as well as many new-raised troops. LE CERNA and RAMIREZ, Royal Generals, were with a force of from 12 to 13,000 men in possession of all Upper Peru and all the mines ; SAN MARTIN • had, in consequence, been obliged to resort to paper money. " The following intelligence has been received at Havannalx from Vera Cruz Things are going on very badly in Mexico, and all the Europeans who have property in Vera Cruz are leaving [Extract of a Letter from St. Jago de NM, May 21.] " Col. MORILLO is here, with two 'schooners laden with some of MORALES' troops—another is hourly expected—in all about 500: they ca pitulated near Maracabo. It appears that Mo- RALES was with about 2000 men, and would maintain his point. " Accounts from St. Thomas state, that the Patriots had quiet and peaceful possession of nearly the whole of the Spanish Main, and great mercantile speculations were making in indigo, coffee, cocoa, and cotton." From the explanations which have been given in the House of Commons,respeCting the Turkish frigate which was said to be fitting out in this country with a complement of men and guns, in order to enable her to cruise against the Greeks, it appears that the consent of Government was never given for the purpose alleged,—that Go_ vernment never intended to permit her to be so fitted out,—that on the contrary a request to that effect had been refused, on the ground of its inconsistency with the declared neutrality of this country and that in fact the ship has no greater number of British hands on board than are necessary for her repairs, and for navigating her as an armed merchantman to some port in the Mediterranean, in which character she arrived hi this , country before the Greek insurrection had assumed a serious aspect. It seems to be admitted, however, that a design existed to take her out, if possible, fully equipped as a ship of war,—a design which might have been effected but for the vigilance which has been excited on the subject. Our intelligent Protestant Readers will con sider the grant of ten thousand pounds, Voted last night in the Committee of Supply for the building of Churches and Glebe houses in Ire land, as not the least important step which has been taken for the restoration of that ill-fated country to prosperity and peace. The expenditure of the sum, as far as it goes, will be serviceable in employing a part of the starving population ; while the facilities which it will afford for the increased residence of the Clergy amid their flock cannot fait to have a beneficial influence on the habits and character of the people.

Lansdown, Earl Jersey, Earl Rosslyn, Lord and Lady Morpeth, Lord Erskine, the Vice-Chancellor, Sir George Robinsoli, Mr. Byng, &c. In the evening her Lady ship had a fashionable party, among whom were the Duke and Duchess of \Argyle, -Count and Countess Lieven, Viscount and Viscountess Granville, &c. The Earl of Harrington had a dinner party yesterday, at his house in Stable-yard, St. James's. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE.—Lady Jane Lennox was led to the Hymeneal altar by Mr. Lawrence Peel on Saturday morning, at eleven o'clock. The ceremony was performed by the Lord Bishop of Chichester, at the Dowager Duchess of Richmond's, in Waterloo-place. There were present the Mar quis and Marchioness Cornwallis, the Ladies Cornwallis, &c. THE KING'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.—In part of our last impression we announced, from authority,that his MA JESTY had finally determined upon visiting his northern sub jects ; and his arrival in this city may be looked for about the middle of the ensuing month. We congratulate, our country men and our fellow-townsmen on this happy occurrence, as it affords them an opportunity of expressing in their own warm, .natural, and enthusiastic, manner, their feelings of hearty wel come. We trust that, in order to give the greatest eclat to his MAJESTY'S arrival in his ancient metropolis; immediate Or ders will be issued by the proper authorities that that veteran and distinguished corps of Highlanders, the Royal 42d, be, if pi sible, forwarded from Ireland in time to form a Body Guard to their Sov'EnzioN, accompanied by their braVe brethren and coTpanion,s in arms, the gallant Sctits Greys. These t roo p s eminently deserve the high honour of sueh a service. In re spect to the operations at Holyrood-house, we understand that orders have been issued from the LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S Office to Mr. TROTTER, his MAJESTY'S upholsterer for Scotld, to make immediate prepar ations T for putting the royal apartments in th e Palace ' in a proper state for the re ception of our .SovEitroif, and that Mr. MASH is hourly expected in town to see the orders executed. It is said that the principal: floor of the Palace is only to be fitted up, and that his MAJESTY takes up his private residence at Dal keith Palace. An order has been received in town by, Mr. G. HUNTER, clothier to the KING, for the making of a superb and splendid dress of the Highland garb of the royal tartan for his MAJESTY. This Gentleman has furnished similar dresses to the Emperor of RUSSIA, Dukes CONSTANTINE, NICHOLAS, and MICHAEL, and Princes of ORANGE and ESTERHAZ Y.— ( Edinburgh Courant, July 20.) . THE THEATRE.—The serio-comic Opera, en titled The Africans, drew a very numerous audience to the II AviviARKET ThEATRE last night. It is a piece from the fertile pen of Mr. COLMAN, and consists of that whimsical mixture of the ludicrous and the pathetic, in which his talents have so often been exerted with success. The chief character in this piece is *Mr. Ilenry Au gustus Mug, the Ivory Turner, of Snowhill, which was, of course, originally designed for the sin gular humour of LISTON ; and though much of its point is lessened, compared with the diplo matique correspondence, formality and etiquette which took place at the petiod when the play first appeared, yet there is enough of genuine humour in the part to render it highly entertaining. Such was the effect last night, and LISTON'S triumph was complete. JONES was not born for tragedy, and he is a fish out of water in Madiboo. JOHNSON, in the second brother, is too much inclined to copy the exclamatory gaggles of KEAN-, which, of course, are not endurable at second hand. Miss I3oYcz played the Mother's part with great feeling, but her face was so little marked by age that she seemed to be even a younger sister of her three stout sons, or at least the wife of one of them. Mrs. CHATTERLEY also in the heroine was obviously averse to putting her pretty face under a sable disguise. Theatrical performers should be at all times at tentive to the dress and general appearance of the characters which they assume, as they mainly contribute to the delusion of scenic exhibitions. The play was throughout much applauded.—The second piece was to have been the farce called Love Letters, but at the end of the Opera JONES came forward, and informed the audience that Mrs. VESTRIS was too ill to perform, bespeak ing their indulgence for the substitution 'of The Agreeable Surprise. The performance of Plays at Paris by an Eng lish Company is likely to be carried into effect. Mr. PENLEY, who has tried a similar experiment successfully at Boulogne, Brussels, Calais, &c. is the projector of this plan, and, we hear, is pa tronized by the British Ambassador q at the F renc h Courf. DOWTON, K NIGHT , an d Miss M. TREE, are already engaged ; and negotiations are pend ing with others, among which Mr. CHARLES KEMBLE and OXBERRY are named. The Theatre is expected to open in August.-7-(Morning Post.) Mr. ELLISTON had yesterday the honour, per sonally, to subinit to his MAJESTY'S inspection the plans' for the projected alterations of the Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, which his MAJESTY was graciously pleased to examine minutely, and to favour with his entire approbation and sanction. $ j*CP 0 ~...,,1 7 ' r."

STANZAS WRITTEN BY A LADY A FEW DAYS BEFORE HER DEATH. ( From the New York Statesman.) I said to Sorrow's pelting storm That beat against my breast, Rage on !-thou may'st destroy this form, And lay it low at rest ; But "still the spirit that now brooks Thy tempest raging high, Undaunted on its fury looks 'With steadfast eye. I said to Penury's meagre train, Advance !—Your threat I brave : My last poor life-drop ye may drain, And crush me to the graire Yet still the spirit that endures Shall mock your force the while, And meet each cold, cold grasp of yours With bitter smile. I said to proud Neglect and Scorn, Pass on heed you not : Though thus unfriended and forlorn, By you I am forgot : My spirit, which untamed and free No scoffs of yours annoy, Draws from its own nobility Its high born joy. • I said to Friendship's menaced blow, Strike deep !_my heart shall bear ; Thou canst but add one bitter woe Po those already there ; Yet still the spirit that sustains This last, severe distress, Shall smile upon its keenest pains, And scorn redress. I said to Death's uplifted dart, Aim sure !—Oh why delay ; Thou wilt not find a fearful heart, A weak, reluctant prey; For still this spirit, firm and free, Triumphant o'er dismay, Bright in its own eternity, Shall pass away.

The contest was for some time doubtful, (they alternately gaining head, of each other) but ultimately the latter prevailed, and was borne off in triumph by his friends. , His Royal Ilighness the Duke of YORK has been pleased to appoint the Rev. JOHN HORSLEY DAKINS, of Trinity College, Cambridge, one of his Royal llighness's Domestic Chaplains. The Duke of GLOUCESTER arrived at Brussels on Wednesday, and set out next morning for Aix-la-Chapelle. Prince FREDERICK of PRUSSIA and his Consort, travelling under the name of Count and Countess of IIoGENsTEIN, arrived at Amsterdam on the 14th. A Court of Common Council will be holden to-morrow, to receive the Report of the Com mittee of General Purposes relative to the Bill now before Parliament for regulating the ma nagement of the Orphans' Fund, to receive the Reports of various Committees, and general bu siness. OSTEND, JULY 20.—Ilis Majesty the King of WIRTEMBERG, who has honoured us with his presence the last three weeks, for the benefit of sea-b a thi ng , too k hi s depar ture on the 17th instant for his own dorninions,lamidst the re grets and good wishes of all classes, to whom, during his short stay, he had en4eared himself by his affable and engaging de meanour. His Illajesty, with his suite, consisting of General Spitzenberg, Baron WimpfFen, &c., quitted the town highly gratified with the attentions he had received. The Dowager Lady ELLENBOROUGH is the purchaser of Cambridge-house, the residence of her late MAJESTY, which was sold by auction last Tuesday, at Garraways, for 5,850 guineas. A French Paper says—CC We have already given an account of the,ravages caused by the storm of June 15, in the department of Aude. Hailstones fell which weighed from eight to nine pounds. It will require several years to re trieve the disasters of that day. The loss sustained is estimated at nearly three millions (francs)." Miss S. BOOTH left town on Sunday for Buxton, where she proposed performing the Miller's Maid, in the entertain ment of that }tame ; and Little Pickle, in the Farce of The Spoird Child, this night. From thence she will proceed to Newcastle, where she will perform during the Assizes. There was an amateur performance at the Carlisle theatre, on Tuesday last, for the benefit of Mrs. Moss, widow of the late Mr. W. H. Moss, once manager of that and several other provincial theatres, and whose merits as an actor are yet fresh in the memory of many of our readers. The play was COL.. MAN'S comedy of The Heir at Law, which was very respect ably perforthed ; Cicely Homespun by Mrs. Moss, in which she evinced, however sh:! may have " declined into the vale of years," a spirit that bore through the " fiery ordeal" of criticism, and brought to mind her performances in auld lang syne." It ought to be mentioned that no man ever cast his reflections with so much cheetfulness and truth' on the multitude of visitors at Vauxhall Garden? this season as WALKER of Drury-lane, by his very beautiful and multiplied objects dis played in the wonderful Ileptaplasicsoptron. In justice to this ingenious mechanic, it should be noticed that he 'invented and constructed the Glass Curtains which excited so much attention at the Royal Cobourg and Covent Garden theatres.

Loss or ms MAJESTY'S SHIP DRARE.—lntelligence was yesterday received at Lloyd's, of the loss of his Majesty's ship Drake, about the 22d ultimo, at St. Spotts, in Trepassey Bay, during a fog. She was bound to St. John's, Newfoundland, from Halifax, with two mails from England on board, which were lost ; and we regret to add that the Captain, a Lieutenant, a'Midshipman, and 22 Seamen and Marines were drowned. A letter from St. John's, Newfoundland, dated 27th of June, states, that the persons lost in the 'Drake were Captain Baker, Lieut. Stanley, the master, Mr. Wm. Moore; a Midshipman, 16 of the crew, and two women. Midshipnien Lyell and Grote were saved. AGRICULTURAL MATTERS. The Leeds Mercury, adverting to Sir F. BURDETT not hav ing reduced his rents at his last audit at Great Dalby, gives the following cogent reason for it :—" The tenantry of Sir F. BURDETT are, for the most part, now paying precisely the same rents that were paid for the said farms previous to the years 1796 : in fact, Sir Francis did not advance his rents during the war, and therefore he has no reduction to make on the re turn of peace." There was a load of new wheat at Guildford market on Sa turday. The supply of old is still very large ; we are informed that there was upwards of 400 load at one time. Mr. Smith, of Eashing, near Godalming, housed and thrashed wheat of the present year's growth on the 24th of June. A load of fine wheat, grown on the estate of George Van. sittart, Esq., of Bisham, Berks, was sold by Mr. Hester, in Wycomb arket, Friday, at 1611 MATTHEWS has taken his passage at Liver pool, in the packet William Thompson, for New York, to sail on the Ist of Aug ust. The Colchest er National S chools celebrated their tenth Anniversary on Tuesday ; the chil dren,4oo in number, attended by the Archdeacon / Clergy, and Corporation, went in procession to St. Peter's Church. The children were after wards regaled with beef and plum pudding, and the collections amounted to 491. The celebrated Wycliffe Museum, late the pro perty of G. ALLAN, Esq, which was to have been sold by auction, has been purchased entire by priv a t e con t rac t, b y a f Lvr spiritedgentlemen, with the intention of offering it to the Lite rary and Philosophical Society of Newcastle, as laying the foundation of a collection of natural history, and which will suitably furnish the room appropriated for that purpose in the new building. The collection contains nearly a complete list of British birds,. more especially the rare kinds, with a valuable selection of foreign birds ; together with a curious collection of insects, shells, reptiles, minerals, and a great variety of mis cellaneous curiosities. The Somersetshire Magistrates have resolved on demolishing Ilchester Jail ; that at Shepton Mallet to be en larged instead. ,AVe feel much satisfaction in stating, that the Coventry weavers have generally returned to their employment ; and we most sincerely hope that such an adjustment will even tually take place between the manufacturers and the weavers as may effectually prevent any future misunderstanding. PUBLICANS, BREWERS, &C.—lt is found, from the repeated trials and experience of the distillers in French Flanders, that the use of well or hard water is the best fitted to insure a good fermentation in the distillery of corn spirits. When hard water is used, they habitually draw off from fifty-five to sixty-five litres of spirits, at nineteen deg. hydrometer, from a quintal of rye flour; whereas those who use soft spring or river water, seldom obtain on an average more than 40 to 44 litres of equal spirit from the same weight of flour, and sometimes only, 30 or 35 litres; hence it ap pears that hard water holding carbonate of lime in solution, by means of an excess of carbonic acid, has a beneficial effect in preventing the tendency to acidity in the vats of the Flemish manufacturers, and thus in increasing'the product of the spirits ; whilst on the other hand, our own workmen can never obtain more than 40 to 44 litres, as long as they obstinately per sist in the use of river water • and on the same prin c ipl e it m ust follow, that the us e of hard-water is superior for the pirpose of brewing beer and making wine. EQUlTY.—Equity in law is the same that the spirit is in religion, what ev..ry one pleases to make it; some times they go according to conscience, sometimes axord ing to law, sometimes according to the ride of Court.— Equity is a roguish thing. For law we have a measure— know what to trust to; equity is according to the conscience of him that is Chancellor, and as that is larger or narrower, so is equity. It is all one as if they should make the standard for the measure we call a foot—a Chancellor's foot : What an uncertain measure would this be ! One Chancellor has a long foot, another a short foot, a third an indifferent foot ;—it is the same thing in the Chancellor's conscience.—(Selden.) MARRIAGE IN LAPLAND.—It is death in Lap land to marry a maid without the consent of her parents or friends. When a young man has formed an attachment to a female, the fashion is to appoint their friends to meet to behold the two young parties run a race together. The ma'd is allowed in starting the advantage of a third part of the race, so that it is impossible, except willing of herself, that she should be overtaken. If the maid over-run her suitor, the matter is ended; lie must never have her, it being penal for• the man to renew the motion of marriage. But if the virgin has an affection for him, though at the first she runs hard to try the truth of his love, she will (without Atalanta's golden balls to retard her speed) pretend some casualty, and make a voluntary halt before she cometh to the mark or end of the race. Thus none are compelled to marry against their own wills; and thisis thecause, that in this poor country, the married. people are richer in their own contentment than in other lands, where so many forced matches make feigned love, and cause real unhappiness.
