LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1924.

We believe it is the author of Wooerley who remarks,
that husbands and other belligerent powers are in the habit
of singing Te Deum to cover a defeat, at least as often as
t) celebrate a victory. Such seems to have been the case
with the Court of Madrid with regard to the South
American colonies of Spain. But the vapouring and
basting of these worthies is more completely answered
by the intelligence we give in another part of our Paper,
than it could have been by all the arguments that the
ingenuity or wisdom of man could have inventtd.
From this we learn, that instead of the Royalists driving
Balivar before them, he has been driving ►hem from
their last strong holds, and, by a masterly manoeuvre,
Las almost entirely annihilated them. We shall scarcely
be deemed so rash as an eminent statesman was, during
the campaigns in the Peninsula, were we to prophecy,
that by this time there would not be found a Royalist
soldier, not a prisoner, in all Peru.

We have received our files of American Newspapers, from
the 94th to -the 30th of June, inclusive. Their contents
are not very important, as they appear more intent on de-
ciding their local quarrels. as to the person best qualified for
tilling the presidential chair, than any other subject what-
ever. The contest seems to be moot bitter between the
partisans of Mr. Crawford, and these of General Jackson.
The friends of the latter are particularly severe on the
former, fur transacting the business of his office by means
of a foe simile, itistcati of his own signature, and for mak-
ing loans of the public money, without locking fcir the
authority of Congress to bear him out in so doing. A Com-
mittee has been appointed to investigate the truth of the
latter accusation, and they have reported favourably for
Mr. Crawford, at least, so far as his intention and upright-
r.ess are cot cerned ; but the papers in the opposite in-
terest appear little satisfied with the nature of such an
acquittal. Mr. Crawford is suffering under severe indis-
position.
The following a e the most piquant extracts :
Violin the New York Muir:man of June 161
Ur. Caawroan Ayes 51a. EDWARDS—We this evening lay
before our leaden the report of the Committee of Investigation in
the case of tar. Edward:, against the Secretary of the Tn away, by
which it will be uen that the latter is acquitted of ti-e charges
which have been preferred against him. " They (the Ctrounittee)
contest themselves with sayi.ng, that in their opinion nothing has
been proved to impeach the integrity of the Scer:tary, or to bring
into doubt the geocral correctness and ability of his administration
of the public finances. To this point, as the main object of in-
quiry, the chief attention of the Cornmiuee has been directed ; and
have come to the result which has now been stated, with the
unanimous concurrence of the members present.

The following account from a London paper, of a rowing-match
on the Thames, exhibits • wonderful pertormance—llB miles in
less than sixteen consecutive hours. This, allowing for the short
respite to take food, will give a speed of nearly Light miles an hour
during the whole distance, sometime* against both wind and tide.
\Chat say the crews of our fut.rowing new boats to such a tier-
' formanee ? NVe should think the arms that usually nly their oars
as well nerved and enduring as those of the " guirdsnien" who
rowed on the Thames. Vet the idu of going front here to Catskill,
tor instance--about the same distance as Oxford front London, and
without any interruption from locks—in sixteen hours, would
startle them a little, we suspect.

Within the two last days our table has been perfectly
burthencd with West India Papers. Some others have lain
there so long that we arc absolutely ashamed to look a West
Indian in the face. Indeed, for some days past we never
meet a jolly looking figure, with a brick coloured visage,
a red nose, and broad brimmed five hundred-hogshead hat,
swaggering along the Strand, and brandishing his Jamaica
thorn cane, but we instinctively get out of his way. IVe
.hope, however, to be enabled, during the nrxt week, to
commence clearing our file, by noticing seriatim their voles_
minous communications; till then, we can only deprecate
their wrath, and supplicate their indulgence. To tell the
truth, we are placed between Scylla and Charibdis, by
Indians, East and West. Here has been the ex-Sheriff
lake a roaring lion seeking whom he might devour, and ex-
ercising on us a large share of that species of oratory which in
Bengal is denominated gaully, and in which a long residence
in the Cassirolsh, assisted, no doubt, by a natural genius, has
made him no mean proficient. It is very hard, we must
say, that sweet-tempered, meek, forbearing peorle like us,
should be obliged to bide the pelting of such a pitiless
storm as would frighten out of their wits a whole legion of
the denizens of the hurrah Bazar; and all, forsooth, be-
cause the Ex-Dignitary conceives that our Reporter wishes
to filch from him his good name. There is a Scotch pro-
verb about taking the Creeks off a Highland man—
verb. sap.

The extraordinary case of WILLIAM RAMSDEN ROBIN
SON has been, as might be expected, a topic of very gcnc-
ral interest. lie has received his Majesty's pardon, and
the exercise of mercy is at all times the most amiable dis-
play of power. Whether this act, so exercised, will remove
the impression of his guilt, or was intended to do so, is an-
other, and a very different question. A pardon presumes a
crime committed, inasmuch as that, where there has been no
offence there can be nothing to forgive. The case involves a
very singular dilemma. If Robinson was innocent of the
charge upon which the Jury found him guilty, there should
be some mode of clearing him from the accusation. It is true,
there can be no new trial in criminal cases, but still our
system of criminal jurisprudence is defective, if there is no
means of reversing an unjust and erroneous verdict. But
was this verdict of guilty an unjust or erroneous verdict ?
Upon that point we shall offer no opinion ; we content our-
selves with affirming, that the pardon recognises its justice.
It was a verdict pronounced by twelve men upon their
oaths, and founded on such evidence as to them was con-
clusive. Now, if lie was GUILTY in this single case, the
alibi sworn in the other cases is placed in a very awkward
predicament ; for if his identity is confessedly verified on
one of the charges, his having been personated as to the rest
is scarcely credible. " Mere alibi evidence, it must be ad-
mitted," says the Learned Judge Fowl. st, " lieth under a
gre..t and general prejudice, and ought to be heard with
uncommon caution." If it is founded in truth, it is un-
doubtedly the best evidence that can be offered, since there
can be no better evidence. But JUDGE Fosses manifestly
adverts to the facility with which, in common eases, the
evidence of an alibi may be procured, and the caution,
therefore, with which it ought to be received as overruling
circumstantial evidence, or to overbalance a weight of posi-
tive testimony. The whole difficulty lies in the applica-
tion of the principle to particular cases. In the case
before us, where so many prosecutors swore to the personal
identity of the accused, we think some of the principal
police (deers should have been subpamed, for the purpose
of ascertaining whether there was any individual on the
town, of fraudulent habits, similar in person and appearance
to Rout N SO N ; for it is not likely that any individual so fami-
liar with fraud as the real culprit must be, would be wholly
a stranger to these active agents, to whom all the haunts of
villany are well known, and when London hardly contains
a public swindler with whose Pee or person they are unac-
quainted. Had the/ testifitd, on seeing Robinson, that
there was a person on the criminal walks of life greatly
resembling him, and for whom he might readily be mis-
taken, we should have held this testimony to have been
the best alibi, and we clam Jt help thinking it was an
appeal that, under the peculiar circumstances of the case;
ought to have been resorted to.

It has, perhaps, not been generally known, that for some
time past the Duke of Wellington has been unwell, but .
are happy that we are now enabled to state, that his Grace
is so far recovered that he was enabled to attend a Cabinet
Coupcil yestcarday, and that he waits upon the King at
Windsor to-day. His malady was a simple inflammatory
fever.

FARM

MA:'HERW IN AMERICA.

TO THE "EDITOR OF THE BRITISU PRESS.

Sts,—ln your paper of the 21st inst. you give a long
extract from the Yew England Galaxy, anil accompany it
with an observation, that "Jonathan does not relish the sa-
tirical portrait, as drawn by the hand of our inimitable
comedian." lam sure you will admit the generous and li-
beral feeling which ebaracterixta Mathews's " Trip to
America," and the total atscace of any political or personal
allusion that could, by, possibility, be tortured into an in-
tention of ill-natured satire. Judge, then, with what sur- i
prise the admirers of Mathews must have read that quo- I
tation, when I assure you (and I have the means of know- !
ing accurately) that it dues not contain one line as delivered
by the comedian in his popular Enternjument, hut is ex-,
tracted from a wretched dull pamphlet, published by some
"'furious persons to impose upon the public. Justice to I
Mathews, whose entertainment might suffer in the esti-
illation of his own countrymen, was this dull stuff sutured
to pins as his, no less than gratitude to the Americans,
whose cmuluct to the Comedian was above all praise,
demands this contr&icticn. To render this exposure more
complete, I have added one :one of the genuine song—
" Boston Post-office." By rifennee to the extract you
have previously given, you will IR reeive that not only are
they wholly dissimilar in words and metre, but they can
not be sung to the same tune. I ain quite sure I need not
urge more, to claim a !pace in your columns for as much of
this just defence of an old favourite, as you can with con-
VCllienec insert.

WINDE!O* JULY 47.—Last evening, his Majesty had a
dinner party at the Royal Lodge. Amongst the company
were—the Duke of Ymk, her Royal Highness the Princess
Augusta, Marquis, Marchioness, Lord Francis and Lady
Frances Conyngham, Mr. Secretary Canning, and other
distinguished Personages.
Yesterday afternoon, at half-past two o'clock, a Cabinet
Council was held at the Foreign-office, Downine-striA,
which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of
Ilareowhy, the Earl of Westmorland, the Duke of Wel-
lington, Mr. Peel, Mr. Canning, Earl Bathurst, the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, Lord Bexley, Mr. Wynn, and
Mr. Huskisson. The Cabinet Council continued in close
deliberation till a quarter-past five o'clock.
A private letter from Paris states, that the appointment
of 11. Zea Remodel to be Prime Minister of Spain has
not excited those feelings among the Constitutionalists
which would be gratifying at this juitztute, N. Bermudes
being the friend of Ugarte, the King's confidant and
adviser, who is said to possess the worst principles. The
chance of any recognition of the Loans of the Cortes,
through the recommendation of the new Minister, must
therefore be very slender.
It is said that Count d'Esparne is named Spanish
Minister of War, in the room of M. de la Cruz, who lir-s
tesigneel.
The Chevalier Kurcher, Minister of Tuscany, died at
Paris on Saturday, of an inflammation of the lungs.
The Duchess de Luynes died in the French capital on
Friday, in the '2lst year of her age.
A rich retail linen-draper, who resides in Fore-street, in
the city, has offered len,otto/. for the estate of Mr. Dan-
bury, in the neighbourhood of Walton. This licit knizht
of the and is also said to be in treaty for the noble domain
of Oatlanda, snd all the estates contiguous to it, the pro-
party of the princely owner, which remain unsold.
We understand the report is untrue that Ostlands, the
seat of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, has been
r sold by private contract.
• Preparations have commenced at Hertford House, in
Piccadilly, for the celebration of a Pte quite novel in this
I country. The whole interior of that splendid edifice will
be thrown open to the fashionable world, and already .504.1
. persons are invited.

due attention is paid to the kerning of cavalry and artil-
lery, and miners and sappers, a becoming care is likewise
bestowed on the " beet of causes," and the concerns of
" Holy Church."
If one set of Ministers keep the people in the dark, the
other class take care to let their light shine, and to pray,
without ceasing, that it would please God to convert the i
Heretics of Christendom to a siting faith in Pater Futter:
and Ave Maria:. Of all the " liaisons dangerevses," per- I
haps that of piety and politics is the w..est, but Church
landSfate isamong the oldest of the One and I utli visibles, and
the Harlot of the Seven Hills would mourn the divorce in
sackcloth and ashes.
The King's health, if the term health can be appied to
a personage in his condition, continues much the same:
the sand sticks in the hour-glass, but for the rest—it is an!
affisire finis. The Boyaliates port look forward to the
event with alarm. The whole domestic administration of
the Government may Le reduced at present to a question
of numerical strength. The King's death would wholly
'change the aspect of affairs; it would call all the latent
energy of individual tub's!, into life and motion. If
there is no legitimate power to keep all this within
bounds, the way is payed to the sepulchre of the Bour-
bons; their race is well nigh run already. Looking
forward, prophetically, to the events of Europe, I doubt if
it is even with the strength of the.! Triumvirs to save them.
Le plaisir de babiller leads to many speculations as to
who may be brought forth from the womb of Time as the
successor of Louis XVIII. As connected with this
speculation allusion is sometimes made to a public docu-
ment which appeared in the autumn of 1817, now nearly
seven years ago, which document purported to be a repre-
; sentation of the Archduchess MARIA LOCISA, then late
Empress of France, protesting against the ocoupation of
the throne of that country by the Bourbons, and claiming
d for her son, the tiontqc Nerot.uotc. This document
bears date the 19th February. 1813, and was addressed to
the Congress of Vienna. The Ministers of the Powers
there assembled, with the concurrence, it was said, of the
Emperors of Russia and Austria, ordered it to be recorthd
in the Protocol of the Act of Congress. There are several
pioneers, 1 suspect, willing enough to clear the way to
this consummation ; but that it is " a consummation de-
voutly to be wished" will never be the opinion of any one
who values the peace of Europe, or the happiness of the
human race.
The weather here has been of late remarkably fine, the
heat has ken moderate, and we have had no more rain
than was necessary to Et-eis the dust from flying in the faces
of the fair Piettores of the' iudin des, Tuileries and the
Boulevards. The harvest is likely to be plentiful ; all this
lie fortunate, for in France there arc so many obstacles to
cultivation, that the inconveniences of an adverse season
cannot be encountered as in England, where skill, wealth,
machinery, and all the accommodations which these bring
in their train, enable the farmer ter triumph over the
moisture and fickleness of the climate. There are here no
farm houses dispersed, as with you, in all directions, and
exhibiting all that ease, comfort, and contentment, which
is at once the cause and the effat of industry.
The company of the Theatre Francuise, who have been
ventilating their lungs and inhaling a requisite supply of
fresh air, arc returning from their country houses and from
the provinces. 'PALMA returned this week to the metro-
polis almost incognito, the theory of electric attraction ex-
tends to other sciences than chemistry, as the talents of
this great tragedian can testify. Mademoiselle MARS like-
wise is just returned frown Brussels, not only enriched in
fame, but in those treasures of the purse, cotnpared with
which, in use and fruitfulness, fame is as nothing. Shc
will make her appearance in a few evenings. There is a
talk of some novelty to be produced both in plays and
players, and a revival also of some pieces of the old school.
A Madetnoiaelle GoNEZ made her debut the other evening
in Britannicus and in Nunine, and was received with loud
plaudits ; she possesses a fine form and a pretty face, both
of them valuable attributes in their way: she adds to these
a fair share of intellect, a pleasing voice, and a graceful
deportment. What would the most fastidious critic ask
for more ? The French are a philosophical, as well as a
merry-making race, and they were manifestly well pleased
to get as mach. Sense, shape, bloom, and feature are not
combined together every day, it is the true " holy °lli-
, ant...," and the audience sheweil themselves alive to its
we I value.

THE LORD MAYOR'S AQUATIC ENTERTAIN-
MENT.

On Tuesday the Lord 111:iyor gave a grand entertainment at
Richmond, to the Duke of Sussex and a large party in the rawly-
dun barge.
The Mayor, with the Lady Mayoress and suite, left the Mansion
House at an early hour, and entered his Lordship's barge, accost- ;
parried by Mr. and Mrs. flume, and several of the Aldermen and
their Ladies. 11'hen they rmchcd Kew his Royal Ilighnews the
Juke of Sussex joined them. From thence they proceeded im-
mediately to Richmond, in the navigation binge, which was fluid
out splendidly for the occasion. The barge was moored off the
Duke of Duccieugh's grounds. The dinner consisted of all the
delicacies of the season, and upwards of 10 sat down to it with
excellent appetites.
The LORD .31aeon, after the usual prefatory toasts, gave the
health of the Duke of Sussex ; and in doing so, expressed the
high gratification he felt at his Royal Hightsets'ir condescriinion
in honouring the company with his presence. Indeed. it wan well
known, that upon every occasion that presented itself, in which his
Highness could manifest his attention to, and respect for
the city of London, he exerted himself vo the utmost, and proved
his firm determination to promote its interests and welfare.
Ills Royal Highness returned thanks. He expre4serl the very
sincere pleasure he felt at all iimen in proving himself interested in
the prosperity of his fellow-citizens. Ile was proud of being a citi-
zen of London, and of meeting the warm reception which was with-
held from none but those who did not deserve it. lie should abstain
from the use of any political sentiment, as the company was one in
which a rariety of sentiment of a political nature existed, but there
was one circumstance to which he could not but allude, however it
might be construed into a deviation front the rule he had determined
to observe—he meant the remarkable consistency of the present
Chief Magistrate's conduct during the whole of his public life, a
consistency which it was perfectly wen known was not capable of
being maintained without extensive private sacrifices.
His Royal Highness then proposed the health of the Lord Mayor
and Lady3layoresa, and afterwards tits l.ealtit of the Sheriffs, Al-
derman Wood, the Common Sergeant, &c.
There was on board an excellent band, which played during the
day. Soma delightful tongs were sung by Miss ficsalall, and the
glee singing was between .Messrs. Jolley. Dawes. and Tetrad.
Early In the evening dancing commenced on board, and at nine
o'clock the party returned to Kew, having received several salutes
in the course of the excursion from both banks of the Thames. A
great number of boats, tilled with highly respectable persons, ac-
companied the barge.
The Lord Mayor and a great number of the party returned to
town from Kew in carriages, after having spent a most delight-
ful day.

SOUTH AMERICA.
By the Lady Louisa packet, which has arrived at Fi•
mouth, we have revived important intelligence fret
Buenos Ayres, to the lath May. In another part of the
paper we Piave given the tness.age of the Buenos Ayres Et.
ventive to the Legislative Assembly of that State; a coo-
terport of which translation has been transmitted toctr
Government. It is an extremely interesting document.—
Rivadavia, the Buenos Ayres Secretary for Foreign ACM;
had resigned. Ile was succeeded by Garcia, the :Luker
of Finance. Bank Stock had advanced to per et.;
Buenos Stock was bearing 6 per cent. interest, 60.
Letters from Chili state, the exp-dition from Valparaat
under General Freyre, destint d against the Island of Chace,
had landed, and had utet with considerable success.—
Chiloe was in possession of the Intlepondents: no Tanta-
late were given. Chiloe has long been held by Quiata-
vil•a, the Spanish Governor, and, front the aid affaUttl to
the discontented Aratnanian Indiar.s, had been a cons-al.:.
able annqyance to the Authorities of Chili.

The Buenos Ayres Argos, of the Bth May, contains the
following account of the successful invasion of the itr•

under the command of General Freyre:—
