SPAIN AND SOUTH AMERICA.
The following are extracts of private letters which we
have received from Seville and Cadiz. It appears from
them (and the fullest reliance may be placed oil their an.
theoticity), that a sort of bustle and preparation is °beim-
ble in the latter place, and that an expedition to South
America is gravely talked of. We agree with our corres-
pondent, however, that probably long before this expel'.
tion sails (if it ever sail) the independence of those cont•
tries will be proclaimed all over the world."
" SEVILLE, JUNE 11.
" Since I last wrote to you, affairs in this country have assumed
a very different appearance. The organization of the new Spanish
army is going rapidly forward throughout all parts of Spain, and::
this elf y alone there are upwards of 6,000 troops.
" The infatuated Spaniards are told that tins army is to fora: as
expedition, which is to sail with all despatch to the shores ri
South America, and the strongest hopes are entertained, both
Seville and at Cadiz, that those once wealthy and fiourishin;
provinces will yet be brought under the domituoo of the moth,:
country.
Every report circulated hoe tends to confirm them in this
opinion, and to show that those countries are ka the greatest stated
anarchy, and that public opinion, both in Mexico and Peru, is in
, favour of Old Spain.
" There in no doubt that preparations of some kind or other w
going on in the different putts of Spain; but as the Spaniards or
slow in all their operations, I fancy before an expedition is actully
prepared for sea, the independence of these countries will be pro-
claimed all over the world. It is said that the King has already
offered the command of this intended expedition to Sir Jabs •
Downey, whose health has been in a very premien' state for the
last four or five months.
" There are evident symptoms of some changes having take
place in the French Army. I have been informed that several reel.
ments are on their march for Andalusia ; and some have shady
arrived. Those troops which were in Xeres de Is Frontera, Chic.
lava, &e. will reinforce the Isla and Ceti; and there is now a regi.
mtatof horse actually marching for Port. St. May.
" In Cadiz the ltench are actively engaged in repairing the
breaches in the wells ; and although Spaniards are employed, yet.
I have been assured. the works ase going on under the Inspections?
the French engineers.
" CADIZ, JUNE 13.
" Sir William Curtis arrived here last night in his yacht nom
Genoa, but last from Gibraltar, where he only remained a fee
home.
" He had an excillent passage of nine days from the forms
place; and during his voyage down the Mediterranean he neithe
fell in with, nor did he hear -of, any Algerins sonnies being in
that sea.
" Hz is now on shore, and looks remarkably well, and althoogi
his health was very much impaired before he left England, he is
quite recovered.
He purposes sailing from this place in a few days, and tondo
at Lisboa, Oporto, Coruna, &c.
" The packet, homeward-bound, has this moment come to e-
cho', and will sail in a few hours ; I therefore avail myself ut tho
opportunity in preference to sending by hand.
" Although this is Sunday, there we upwards of fin hundred
men at work repairing the breaches in the walls. AU last nigh:
and this morning both the engineers and artillery were proving tin
batteries which they had lately repaired in the Isla, and also some
new ones which have been erected.
The garrison is very much increased, and more is expected"
" CADIZ, Jr NE 18
" Since last Sunday, Sir William Curtis has had a constant
round of dinner invitations front the relatable British Machine
of this City, and In return fur their civilities, the worthy Braes
entertained them on board of his beautiful yacht, on Wednesday.
the 16th, with a sumptuous dinner.

The Florida, Hodgson, has arrival in the Downs from

A letter from a gentleman now in Paris, who has lately
visited La Fayette, says—" Should I dare draw a conclu-
sion from what I heard him say, I would unhesitatinfly
declare, that we should see him among us before fall, se
perhaps in a very short time. The sooner the better, fel,
without doubt, as I have often mentioned, he is the best
person I ever came across in my life, and one of the rr
modest and distinguished men in the world. He is obits
lutely too good for Europe. America is the soil alone coos
genial to him, and may he soon be there to know and set
how much we cherish and love him, and prove that Repub-
lics are not, as was formerly said, always ungrateful."...

lon this occasion ; and a party of fitly sat down to a very

Dzsmss OF
UREfiHs IN AMERICA. TE COTTON ..WANUFAC-
T

During the heyday of ra=Fea ism, when the mature of '
distress on our manufacturing districts produced sonic dis-
turbances, and occas.sionslly some mischief ; we were con-
tinually referred to the United States, as a standing proof
that the depression of trade could result only from mis-
government and excessive taxation. The natural advantages,
by a newly settled country, over a state over-
=d eel with population, were wholly disregarded by the
reason-n, whose object was to have the public faith broken, !
and the government re-constructed from its foundations.
11, the last arrival of American papery, we find, however,
diet even in the United States the fluctuations of trade
will affect the wages of the labourer, and dispose him to
tumult. The following article is 'enacted from the
Tiorid..ncr Journal, a newspaper published in New Eng-
land, that part of the Union which has been lotigtat
and has the most dense population:—
" The citizen! of Pawtucket have for a few days past
been in a state of excitement and disorder, which reminds
us of the accounts we frequently read of the tumults of
manufacturing places in England, though unattended with ,
the destruction and damage usually accompanying those '
riots.
The present depressed state of the cotton manufac-
ture, on which the village principally de for its sup-
port, has occasioned much anxiety Intrends
minds of the
manufacturers, and the prospect being gloomy and unpro-
mising, they ecnelnded that something must be done to
compete successfully with the country manufacturers, who,
generally, by working their mills more hours in a day than
has heretofore been usual in this village, and procuring
weavers at lower wages, combined with other advantages,
have been able to manufacture at a less price. (in Monday
last there was a meeting of the manufacturers, which was
generally attended, and an agreement made to run the
mills about an hour longer, and to reduce the wages of
those who worked by the piece, after the Ist of June next,
about 20 per cent. When the labouring part of the cons-
inunity learned the result of the meeting, they very gene-
rally detennincel to work only the usual hours; and when
the bell rung to call them to their employment, they assem-
bled in great numbers, accompanied by many who were
not interested in the affair, round the doors of the mills.
apparently for the purpose of hindering or preventing the
entrance of those who were disposed to accede to the reso-
lution of the master manufacturers: no force, however,
was used. The female weavers assembled in parliament,
to the number, it is stated, of one hundred and too: one
of the most active and talkative was placed in the chair,
and the meeting, it is understood, was conducted, however
strange it may appear, without noise, or scarcely a single
speech. The result of the meeting was a resolution to
!abandon their looms, unless allowed the old prices.
" On Wednesday evening a tumultuous crowd filled
the streets, led by the most unprincipled and disorderly
lout of the village, and made an excessive noise. They
sited succeseively the houses of the manufacturers,
shunting, exclaiming, and using every imaginable term of
abuse and insult. The window in the yellow mill was
-ken in—but the riot, considering the charm. ten of those
led, and the apparent want of all reflection in those
'snowed, was not so injurious to property and per-
security as might have been reasonably apprehended.
next thy the manufacturers shut their gates, and the
have not run since—a comparative stillness now
-and it is to be hoped that the people will return to
of propriety—satisfied, as they must be, on reflee-
• the prosperity of a community can never be pro-
. and tumult."

ADVENTURE AT A GAMBLING HOUSE.
Marshal Wade had a great passion for gaming, and fre-
' places where all kinds of play was going forward,
. being very nice as to the company he met. At
these places one night, in the eagerness of his di-

richly set in diamonds, took a pinch, and passel it
keeping the dice-box four or five mains before he
then recollecting something of the circum-
not perceiving the snuff-box, he swore ye-
man should stir till it was produced, and that
search should be made. On his right sat a per-

great humility, begged the honour of going a

it will be sufficient. Let the man who doubts
into the next room, where I will defend that
perish." The eyes of all were now turned upon
hal for an answer ; when, clapping his hand
r his sword, he felt the snuff-box in a secret side
his breeches, into which he had inadvertently
it had passed round. Remorse, mixed with
and tenderness for the wounded character (be.

JOURNEY TO THE WHITE MOUNTAIN.

I From the tut Number of The Asiatic .fa rual. Just publi.hed.l

With the exception of some Jesuits sent about a cen-
tury ago by the emperor Khanghee, for the purpose of corn- !
posing a map of Eastern Tartary '
, no European has pene- i
trated into the country of the Alandchoos situated to thee
North of Corea, from which it is separated by the range of
snowy mountains called in Chinese Tehhang pe than, and
in Manchoo, Goliman-changan-ateen, or the Great White
Mountain. The narrative of a journey in that country,
translated from the original landelloo, will therefore be
be acceptible to the reader of history.
In the year 1671. the emperor Khang-hee dispatched
one of the grandees of his court, named Oomoona, to visit'
the White Mountain, and give a description of it. The
Emperor, in his order, said, that this mountain is situated
in the happy region which was the country and the scene
of the glory of his first ancestors ; but as there was no one
at Peking who knew that country well, he wished to send
Oomoona, not only for the purpose of his furnishing a de-
scription of it, but likewise to sacrifice to the protecting
spirits of the mountain.
Oomoona, who was at the same time charged to describe
the country of Ningoota, left Peking in the fifth month
(June), and took his course by the way of Nlookden, to-
wards the city of Gireen cola. 'f here, as well as in the
whole country of Ningoota, he looked in vain for a person
who might serve him as a guide to the White Mountain.
He only met with an old man, born in the country of Ekhe
neien, who said, that in his youth he had heard from his
father, that it was not far from that place to the mountain.
lie also remembered that people went there to hunt the
stag, and that a hunter, having killed one of these animals,
bed brought it on his back td Ekhe neien.
Oomoona set out from Gireen cola the second day of the
sixth moon (July), and after a laborious journey reached
Ekhe neien, whence he dispatched a number of men with
hatchets, in order to cut a road for him through the almost
impenetrable forests. Ile at the same time enjoined them
to inform him of the probable distance he might be from
the mountain. Ten days afterwards they reported to him
that they had proceeded to a distance of thirty /s/ (lee)
when they reached a hill, from which, on climbing a high
tree, they had discovered the Great IVliite Mountain,
which did not seem to be far off, probably between 170
and ISO /y. By a second report, he learned that these
people, having ascended a higher hill, had seen the White
Mountain much more distinctly than before, hut that it
was surrounded by clouds and fog. They estimated the
distance at about 100 Iy.
On this intelligence Oomoona and his attendants re-
sumed their journey on the 13th of the 6th moon, for the
last-named hill, whence the second report had been dis-
patched to him. They travelled for two days; on the
third, very early, they suddenly heard the cries of cranes ;
at the same time a thick mist began to cover the country in
such a degree that the expedition neither saw the moun-
tain nor even the nearest object about them. Compelled
to follow the cries of the cranes, they soon fell into a track
made by the stags; they supposed that this would lead
them to the White Mountain, and were not mistaken.
When near the mountain, they entered into a plea-
sant wood, in the centre of which they discovered
a small grass-plot of a circular form. A half ly far-
ther they saw a spot surrounded by trees, of the kind
called white sadjoolan, and which seemed to have been
planted by human hands ; they were intermixed with odo-
riferous shrubs, and flowers of a yellow colour covered the
ground. °moon& left here the horses, with about half
hia people, and pursued his journey, attended by the re-
mainder of his followers. Being prevented by the clouds
and mist from seeing the White Mountain, he resolved to
recite the prayers addressed to the protecting genii of the
place, which the Emperor bad charged him to worship.
They were scarcely begun, when the mist disappeared, the
mountain showed itself before him in all its beauty, and
he discovered a path which led up to it. The air on it
was pure and agreeable, and he distinctly traced the shape
of the mountain, there being but a few small clouds left
hovering about the summit- At first the ascent was not
very difficult, but it gradually became more and more
painful. The travellers in ascending (a distance of above
100 4q) were obliged to hold up their clothes. They
walked constantly upon snow covered with a crud of ice.
which seemed to have lain from year to year without hav-
ing ever been thawed. When they had reached the top of
Cie mountain, they discovered a platform surrounded by
five very high pinnacles, between which was a lake full of
water, the circumference of which might be from between
thirty to forty I.e.
Oomoona, approaching the lake, discovered on the op-
posite side a bear, which from that distance seemed to be
very small. The tops of four of the pinnacles declined so
much, that they seemed in the act of falling. The fifth
pinnacle, which was situated to the south, was straight,
and less high than the others; its base assumed the ap-
pearance of a gate. From several parts of the mountain
they saw springs and rivulets gushing forth, which flowed
either on the left towards the Soonggeree cola, or on the
right towards the great and the little Nsien.

Oomoona spent some time in the examination of this
mountain ; and after having offered a new sacrifice, de-
scended from it. Ile had scarcely walked the distance of
a few fathoms, when he suddenly perceived on the heights
a troop of stags which came running by the side of him ;
and, which appeared the more surprising to him, these
animals precipitated themselves, one after another, down
from the tops of the rocks, so that seven were killed the
fall. Oomoona considered this event as a special favour
shown to him by the guardian spirits of the mountain ;
indeed, it was a precious gift to the Ambassador, sent to
them by the Emperor, and who was at that time without
provision. When he had reached the foot of the moun-
tain, he had three stags cooked, but not without having sa-
crificed a part of them to the spirits, in order to testify his
gratitude. His mission to this country being now accom-
plished, lie left it. Immediately on his departure the
mountain again disappeared in clouds and mist. On his
arrival at Ningoota, Oomoona wrote down his description
of the mountain, and re-entered Peking on the Bth day of
the Bth moon. The Emperor delighted with the success
of his mission, commanded the Tribunal of Rites to give
some new honorary_ titles to the guardian spirits of the
White Mountain, -

CELEBRATED PAINTERS.

TITIAN.

Tizkino, whose weeks are so abundant in Venice,
was born Ca the Castle of Catior, in the province of Friuli,
in the year 1480. His education under those cold and
minute painters, Sebastian() Zucehati. and Giovanni Bel-
lini, made him so accurate a delineator of nataral objects,
that when he wished to compete with Albert Durer, whose
works were for a while popular in Italy, and accordingly
painted Christ and the tributc-money. (of which we have
seen several repetitions,) he so carefully represented every
hair of the head, every pore of the skin, and even the re-
flection of objects in the pupils of the eyes, that he shook
the fame of the German artist. But his genius was equal
to higher things. Even while he imitated Albert Durer,
he painted in the free manner of Giurgione, then his fel-
low-student, and afterwards his rival. Some portraits by
Tiziano could not, indeed, be distinguished from those of
liiorgione. This similarity did not continue long, for
Tiziano, deserting the grand and the energetic, formed a
new style, that was remarkable for enchanting softness.
and for its conformity with truth. By far the majority of
his pictures were painted in this manner, fur his fine repre-
sentation, In the Sacristy of S. 11Iarziale, of the Arehan-
gel Raphael conducting Tobiah, was pointed out to us as
having been executed by the artist in his thirtieth rear,
and that picture is in the style generally known to be so
peculiarly Tiziano's. His design is not marked by that
anatomical accuracy, nor is it elevated by that ideal
grandeur which distinguish the masters of the Florentine
and Roman schools. Hs could not correct the form of his
model by any general Idea of beauty in his own mind.
Michelangiolo praised him for his colouring, but censured
him and the Venetian school generally for their bad me-
thod of designing. Less severe was the opinion of Tinto-
retto, the rival of Titian°. He once observed, that Ti-
ziano did some things which no one could excel, and he
could perform other things, if he possessed a better notion
of designing. The invention and composition of his pic-
tures show that sagacity, strength, and tranquillity of mind,
which always carried him more to truth than to the novel
and the specious. He never introduced any thing unne-
cessary to his story. lie who loves the taste of the Greek
bassi relievi, where all is nature and decorum, will prefer
the grave and dignified compositions of Tiziano to the
splendid works of Tintoretto. It is, however, excellence
in colouring that distinguithes the former artist. He was
the inventor of brilliancy and lightness of hue. Never
has a painter to well comprehended the principles of co-
louring, and applied them with such skilful management
to his various subjects, as he has done. His attention to
the detail of finishing leaves no signs of painful accuracy,
nor did it affect the general result. His light is generally
in the centre, particularly in his portraits, where it gives
force to the eyes, nose, and mouth ; the other parts are left
in a sweet negligence, which casts an air of spirit and ele-
gance over the head. In short, what Michelangiolo was
in grandeur, Rafaello in grace, ('orregio in harmony, Lio-
nardo in chiaroscuro, Tiziano is in colouring. These are
the five great men who, it may be said, were the real authors
of painting; so much does their greatness transcend that
of their precursors. Tiziano, more than any other genius,
sees nature, and draws her in all her truth. No wonder,
then, that he is the first of landscape painters. Nature
dictated his scenery. He is the earliest artist that has
given a real character to landscape, whether landscape be
considered as the picture of a scene in its positive state, or
the rich combination of various delightful objects. Hence
the superior beauty of 'risiano's back-grounds. History
painters have surpassed him in genius and invention, but
he is unrivalled in the grandeur and simplicy, the charac-
ter and resemblance, the elegant air and the graceful cos-
tume of his portraits.
Tiziano's pupils have neither been numerous nor cele-
brated. Ha has bad much indirect influence on his age,
but he is more distinguished as a painter than as a master.
He has never had patience for the drudgery of tuition, nor
liberality to applaud rising excellence. He quarrelled
with Bordone for successfully emulating his manner. Ile
drove Tintoretto from his study, and made his own younger
brother, who had shown a singular talent for the art, devote
himself to a mercantile life.
