LONDON, THURSDAY, Jun. 15, 1821.

Intelligence was received last night from Madrid, by
war of Bayonne, to the 9.41 instant. It is observed in these
advices, that no official confirmation has been given to the
sews of the defeat of the South American Independents at
Sir to Fe and Maracaibo, and the rout of Bolivar in Peru.
The enemies of South American freedom will wait long I
enough before they have the satisfaction of" hanging Bo-
hvar." They may hoodwink the wretched inhabitanta of
brain, but we can view their falsehoods only with abhor-
rence and disdain. The King will be guarded by French
trenp.s on his journey to the baths at Sacedon, and such is
the condition of the country the soldiery will bivouac on I
the road. Ferdinand amuses himself with making promo-
t.cns in the army. A meeting of the Ambassadors is men-
tiered, at which the state of the kingdom generally would
be discussed. The Marquis of Lansdown might well say,
that the new Governtnents in America were more compe-
tent to maintain the relations of peace and amity than
t'ilain herself, to whom so much delicacy has been observed
in refraining from a hasty recognition of the independence
!'er late colonies. What arc we to think of an indepen-
dent kingdom, in which the Ambassadors of Foreign
rm.:Ts meet to determine whether her principal fortresses
-' 0.1 be occopied by their troops, and whether her depot-
da,eies shall be lopped olFfor their benefit ? The " fu-
tun' destiny of the Balearic Islands" is to be discussed.
What need of discussion is there as to them ? they belong
of ceurse to Spain. What is to he understood, then, by
dis;'uFsivg their " future destiny ?" Arc they, after all
that has been said, to be divided between Russia and
Franco ? What else can be meant by raising a question
to their " future destiny ?"

BAYONNE, JULY 6.

We have news from Madrid of the Ist of July.
Tie Papal Nuncio has presented to the King a brief from his
Hohness relative to the Jubilee. Ili* Holiness's letter cunuins a
chernent attack on philosophy and toleration.
Though news has beer. received of the defeat of the independents
:.t Santa and lilaracaibo, and of the rout of llolivar, there is no
information of these events, and the nutharity of the Re-'
cuunts is therefore very reasonably doubted. The Landes du corps
lett Madrid at last, on the _9th, to their great satistaction, and that
the city where they committed all kinds of disorders.
The King sets out for the baths on the lith. Don ('solos remains
at it4adrid. The curiosity of the whole City w:ei e-scited en the
by the sending of secret dispatches to all the provinces which
we r:ot to he opzned till the Ist. It was known the nest day,
that ti ::‘,•• related merely to a measure of administration about to_
'meta, the price of which is rising, and this precaution was taken
to prev...nt contraband trade.
Toe Police has just published an Ordinance, enjoining all those
who have arms in their possession to deposit them in the office.
The French troops are to escort the King on the road to the baths
of Savedon. As the road is in a most horrible state, they will be
"I& *AI to bivouac. The King lia.s made several nominations to
&c. iuid nututruus promotions in the army. 'flit

stank of St. Charles has procrard its memoirs and sets In the I
King. A meeting of the Andaaroadors 31adrid is spoken of, in I
which they will discuss the situation of Spain, the occupation of
the future destiny of the Bolearie islands, &e. .17a ques-
tion whether England will be disposed to approte of the progress
of the other powers on the subjects.

Letters were received yesterday from Carthagena, dated
the 2tth of May. From them we learn, that notwith-
standing the treachery and desertion of so many of the
Peruvian leaders, Bolivar was taking the most effectual
measures for repelling and subduing the Royalists. It was
rein:liked. with just feelings of pride in these letters, that
no Colombian has been guilty of the crime of joining the
oppressors of his country. A great number of the Colom-
bians were slaughtered at Callao, when it was delivered up
to the Royalists. We have no accounts how Torre Tagle
had been received by his new associates, nor what progress
'the dissentions of the Spaniards had made amongst them-
selves. It is not improbable that Bolivar may, after all,
' not be required to strike a blow. A seditious movement
had taken place at Guayaquil, in the provinc. of Quito.
It was immediately suppressed by the Authorities. Gen.
Soublette, the new Intendant of Carthagena, was proceed-
ing vigorously with the despatch of his duties. A great
and most beneficial improvement was perceptible in the
revenue department. The rinnour, that the General had
been appointed Envoy to Great Britain, was evidently
without the least foundation. The British Commissi-
oners were very popular, and their presence bad created
the kindliest feeling towards this country. Some observa-
tions were lately made in the French Chamber of Depu-
ties b) M. tie Noailles, in which: he strongly urged his Go-
vemtnent to adopt the same policy with regard to South
America that is pursued by England. The speech was or-
dered to be printed ; and it may. therefore, be fairly pre-
sumed not to be widely dissonant from the opinion of the
Chamber generally. M. de Noaillea remarks, that
" in a recent account of arrivals in a Colombian paper,
though there are Swedish and Danish ships, there is but
one French one, and that is a frigate, a v..ssel of war. See
the difference of the policy of the English. Are the arms
in this contest equal ? And see the enormous loss which
our country suCers in no: treating with these countries.
I can affirm, that orders for between ten and twelve mil-
lions (francs) had been sent to Paris, for objects of our
i preduction, but the ortle:s were refused."

The conduct of the Magistrates of the county of Wex-
ford, in the affair of Captain BaowN, will not fail to excite
the public attention, as manifesting the peculiar temper
which prevails in that judicial body ; there is no better
token by which wr can discover the determined spirit with
which culprits have been heretofore snatched from the hands
of justice in Ireland, in spite of the forms of law, or the
award of justice. The present LORD LIEUTENANT has,
from the first hour of his administration, resolved, to keep
the law finn to its principle, and the magistracy faithful to
their trust. They must have been silly, then, to court
such a contest. They shrunk before the talents of the Ad-
vocate who conducted the proceedings, and who stood up
with a steadfast and fearless temper to assert the claims of
justice, and to maintain the rights of the subject. These!
Magistrates, confident in their strength, and relying on their
power, placed themselves in array against the practice of
the Court and the law of the land. But they soon began
to find that they had provoked the tiger in his forest ; the
manly language of truth and reason was too much for
them ; and we behold them reduced to the lamentable ne-
cessity of retracting an assumed power which they were
unable to support, and abandoning assert ions upon which
they were afraid to act. So it always will be with per-
sons in public station, when arrogating an authority
for the purpose of abusing it; they are called to face au
opponent whose judgment they cannot force, and whose
firmness they cannot overcome. The whole proceedings'
will be read with great interest. The indecent prompti-
tude with which the allusion to the Loan LIEUTENANT
was interrupted, was quite in character.
" In the present ease," said the eloquent Counsel, in his
animated and constitutional resistance to the meanness of
party and the malevolence of power,—" In the present
case it was due to my Clients that their motives should be
stated before their country at large—they courted inquiry into
their motives, for they hail nothing to conceal, and nothing
to fear. Another reason which the memorialists press upon
me is this—that they are most anxious, publicly, and in
the face of the people, to express their thanks to the :gami-
est' Is NVELLESLEY for having instituted this inquiry.
MR. really do not see that the Marquis M'el-
ley's Government is entitled to any peculiar thanks—all
Governments must do the same.
Mr. Bate—All Governments might to act in the same
manner, but I must take leave to say that few Governments
in IRELAND have acted so. Seldom bare the gates of the
Castle been so widely open to the complaints of the peo-
ple, or the lower and the more vexatious agents of power
been so effectually watched and suppressed."—
The Orange Cabinet in Ireland are aware that all this
involves in it considerations fatal to their supremacy.
They have no taste for a precedent so pernicious to their
cause. Why are they feelingly alive to any mention of
that better era of liberty which Loan I‘rELLESI.EY'S
government has introduced ? Because they know that the
political circumstances of the people has been progressively
ameliorated; that under that government the condition of
civil life is bettering every hour, and that a lesson of
caution, like present, is daily taught to the depositaries
of official justice, for which, in the foregone history of Ire-
land, we may search in vain for precedents.

Prince Leopeld honoured Mrs. Coutts with his company
at dinner on Tuesday. His Royal Highness left Marl-
borough House yesterday morning, soon after eleven
o'clock, for Claremont.
Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, • Cabinet Council
assembled at the Foreign Office, Downing-street. Among
' the Ministers present were, the Lord Chancellor, the Earls of
I Liverpool, il'estmorland, and Bathurst, Mr. Secretary
Peel, Mr. Secretary Canning, the Chancellor of the F.x.
chequer, Viscounts Melville and Sidmouth, Lord Bexley,
and Mr. Wynn. The Cabinet did not break up until a
quarter-past 'five o'clock.
We understand that the Ambassador from the Court of
Spain to this country arrived in town on Tuesday.
We have received New Brunswick papers to the 11th
ult. They afford no political intelligence. The following
extract gives a lamentable account of the internal affairs of
I that colony :—" The state of our market is deplorable;
every thing is scarce and dear. VVe do not recollect, in-
; deal, when the season in this respect was so bad. flay is
sod at 91. per ton ; oats .ss. per bushel ; butter 2s. per lb. ;
potatoes from 3s. to 3s. (hi. per bushel ; beef rid: per lb.;
and everything else in proportion. Fur the last three or
four days there has not been a stick of cord-wood for sale."
Extract from a letter from Demerara, June 4, 1824:
" On the petition of the inhabitants, the Governor was
pleased to forbid the Rev. Mr. Austin doing any duty
as a clergyman. Mr. Lugar, lately arrived, has been
officiating,"
We understand that the new Bishop of Bath and iVells
has adopted some very strict but salutary regulations, cal-
culated to enforce the residence of his clergy. His Lord-
ship is indefatigable in the performance of his eccksiastieal
duties.—lir Lau' Mirror. _ _ _

We copy the following from the Western Luminary of
the 11th. We cannot say to what confidence it is entitled :
" Th: Duke of Marlborough packet, which arrived yester-
day aft rnoon at Falmouth, in nine days from Lisbon,
brings an account that it had been arranged that the Queen's
destination should be Parma; but this she had refused to
comply with, because she had not been tried : this, how-
ever, it is supposed, will avail her little. The packet left at
Lisbon his Majesty's ships the Windsar Castle, Genoa,
Lively, and Prinnose, with the French sloop of war
