The G.ards Fr% Corps themselves solicit to be
employed to hunt the brigands and malefactors
who spew themselves on different points; they en-
treat the Cortes to recommend their patriotic zeal
to Government, and claim only the privilege of
serving the State iu the most active manner. This
request has been accepted, and the President has
been charged to thank the (;wards du Corps.
The accounts from Burgos have been confirmed
by later intelligence. The military Commandant
of that city wiites, under date of the 7th, that the
Captain of the cavalry regiment of Lusitunia had
attacked the remnant of Marino's force near Amapa,
amounting to about 150 men, and that thin brave
officer, with only 24 soldiers under his command,
defeated them, and made 35 prisoners, including
their chief, A rija. This is all thut remained of that
famous build, fur Marino has no one with him, and
conceals himself very carefully.
The business of Barcelona has been quieted by
sending away some persona. It is singular that all
those arrested should he of foreign extraction.—
Generals Saar.field and Campbell, although in the
service of Spain, are of English origin. General
Blaise de Fournas is French : this man, it is said,
less rectived permission to retire to Fuller. The
others go to the isle of Majorca, with the Bishop of
Barcelona. The• Grand Vicar of the diocese will
be allowed to remain in the country. There has •
been no other act of violence, except the sudden
banishment of several citizens.

The Authorities of the city of Z more are going
to erect a monument in honour of three celebrated
Spaniards, Jean de ratline, Francois Maldonado,
and J.un Bravo, who, after havii.g supported the
popular cause in the Cortes of 1520, put them-
selves at the I►eacl of the popular insurrection, were
defeated at Villsor nn the 23d April, 1521, and
being made prisoners, had sentence I runounced on
them, and were executed the ne►rt day on 31 rceffold
prepared fur them by the ►Ministers of Charles V.

LONDON,
THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1821.
At a late hour lost night sse received the Paris
Papers of Sunday—it having been observed as a
strict holiday, no Papers were preptired for pub-
lication on Monday. The business in the Chum-
bevs is destitute of interest, awl, except the Coput
news, there is little other domestic intelligence io
these Papers. The Spanish Cortes bold their
steady coarse, and the new Constitution air-
pears to have nothing to fear but the intrigues
of the Clergy. Complaitits have been made
to the Congress against the Prelates in several
of the provinces. The commotion at Bar-
celona had entirely subsided. The accounts from
Turkey, in the Paris and German ['avert., ate
vague and unsatisfactory. It is said that the Greek
inlosbasids of GuLtte rose upon the Turkish gar-
rison, and made themselves masters of that Er►trras.
Other accounts mention a victory obtained by the
Greeks over the Talks near that place.

It has been intimated in a private letter which
has arrived in town from Madrid, under date of the
10111 of April, that negociatious have been actually
commenced, and are now iii progres., bet,reesi the
Spanish Government and the several Independent
Governments of South America, which are found-
ed upon the basis of th.ir acknowledged independ-
ence. This intelligence is at least extremely pro-
bible, for the Cabinet of Madrid ouu-t now fed
well assured that no hone reinuiii; of inducing
the South Americans to forego all the advantages
purchased by several years of privatious and sa-
crifices, stud, renouncing their national independ-
ence, unite their country as a province to Spain.
In fact, it is not in the power of the IMothergCountry
to offer them au equivalent fo► such u submission,
and the notion of reducing them to their former
state by force of arms would now be preposterous,
for Spain has been worsted in every camping'', while
the lipleponileter have progressively improved in
military ►kill and in ilia digeplitie and composition
of their armies, have created navies far superior to
that of the Mother Country, and hove further ob-
tained the incalculable advantage of regular sad
well-organized Governments. Against such means
of defeoce and such resources Spain would vainly
contend, and every attempt that could now be
made to ,educe the Colonies would, as it affected
the Patriots, tend only to a fruitless waste of blood,
while, as it regarded the interests of Spain, it must
increase her embarrassments, exhaust her impove-
rished fleances, widen still further the brash be-
twren her and her othprisig beyond the Atlantic,
and give to the enemies of social order at flume a
favourable opportunity for disturbing her domestic
peace, null fur endangering her sources of future
prosperity. %Veil had it been fur humanity if the
Cabinet of Madrid had, at an earlier period of the
emitted, listened to propesais for an accommodation ;
but should the coolest close even now, Spain might
still induce the liidependent Colosiies to grant to her
merchants peculiar facilities in commerce. of more
advantage e►etutually to her general interests than
the torempoly of trade which she formerly possessed.
The Cube merchants, indeed, will possibly no
longer vie in splendour with the Princes of the
earth, but the trade which was formerly confined
to their body will, by bring distributed throughout
the Peninsula, diesetninitte mare widely the com-
forts and losuriea of wealth. It has often been a
question among Statesmen and Philosuple roe whe-
ther the separation unite United States of America
from the British empire has not eventually pro-
muted the welfare mid prosperity of this country.
%Ye confess that we are not emouig Iluniie who
build the affirinteive iu this dispute; we look upon
the loss of these Colontea as the most calamitous
blow that ever le fel this empire ; but there is
no point of similarity, ,eat epting the mere rela-
tion of metropolis and Tolony, between the cif-
comet-sures amid &eve of the union that bound
Guest Britain sod her Colonies, and those of the
cormelion that subsisted between Spain and her
Trans-Atlautie pusstasions. The principle of the
Spanish Government in South America, like that
of the Auatriaus ui Italy, was necessarily destruc-
tive I. the interest of all parties; it was narrow
sad selfish, and in the true spirit of avarice auto-
teracted its own purpose. It realised the fable of
the goose with the golden egg, and in snatching at
prevent wealth destroyed the. hopes of future in.


.

crease. The country was fartntd out to needy sties,
culators and adventurers, whose wbule prospect's it:
life rested upon the patronage of coartiers, sod the
end of whose appointments was die obtaining of
wealth with the greatest postible rapidity. The Iwo.
pie were plundered and the Government was robbed,
and when the laws by the tyranny of those in power,
or the gross corruption of the Judges, *ere perverted
to the basest purposes of exaction and oppression,
there was no rrutective power to which the people
could look for redress. The commerce of the
country was in the mean time confined by the
closest monopoly to the most inconsiderable chan-
nel, and the industry of the people was restricted
.to suit the speculations or avarice of the few mono-
polising merchants. Let no man think of coinpar.
ing such a state of affairs with the condition of the
British North American Colonies before the Revo-
lution, when industry arid commerce were en-
couraged and promoted, upon the conviction that
every increase of either must promote the welfare of
the Mother Country. In the British Colonies the
resources and the numbers of the people must
have been progressively enlarging, and with them
the prosperity of Great Britain must necessarily
have advanced ; but in the Spanish Colonies a
limit was arbitrarily ',laced to the rogress of
national wealth, and beyond this limit `pain could
derive no advantage from the connexion. In the
former case the system pursued was one of improve-
meat. hut in the latter no improvement could be
expected while the system existed, and it is to its
absolute and total removal that Spain may now look
for enjoyinz her proper share nit the good to he
derived from a free intercourse with that
extensive and I:Arresting portion of the earth.
Whatever opinion, therefore, may now be formed
with respect to tha consequence', resuhing to
Great Britain from the loss of the United States,
we think that, considering the principle of govern-
ment pursued by Spain towards her Colonies in
Smith America, very few can doubt but that in
the course of a few years Spain will derive mare
advantage from those Proviiices in their independ-
ent state, than she could have drawn from them
under a coritinnatice of the old system.

Mr. iiRROD, of North Creak, expresses his sue.
!wise that many. tinnier* in the light hilly parts of
Norfolk, should plough their lands as if they were
wet— naniely, up and down the hills; whereas, by
ploughing across them, all the rain would be stop-
ped by the ridges, instead 4:7 running to the bottom,
and feegurtvlys carrying the seed, soil, and manure
with it. He has proved the superiority of the-plan
from experienc,.. He alto mentions, that some years
rig° he set broad beams between the rows of the
principal part of a crop of potatoes, which not only
sheltered them, but conducted the dews to their
roots, and both produced excellent crops ; but in
a small pint which was not set with beans, the po-
wiles were bcorched up, anti scarcely worth digging.
The new Post-office Steam Packets, to be ems
plo)ed between Dolyhead and Dublin, have twit

thsting,tirsheil personages, previously to their leav-
ing the River for their destination, which will be
in the course of it few days. The udt.antages which,
these vessels will afford to the communication be-
tween the two rout/tries are 'undeniable. The
(hogual tootle of construction, upon which the
Navy Board has been largely consulted, is so ad-
mirable, and the machinery with which they have
liven titled, from the celebrated manufactory at
Sohn, is MO inhnitrly asperier to any iliitig yo un-
dertaken, that the passage is reduced to au actual
certainty ; nod the snails from London will be rr-
