LONDON, TUESDAY, ALGCST 3,182 t.

We have received French mails of the 31st, Hambargh
of the Seth tilt., and Dutch of the Ist inst. From the former
it appears that there was a rumour afloat, that there had
been an insurrection in Spain, which had seriously 'acted
the funds. We strongly suspect this rumour to be a mere
stock-jobbing rose, as it is impossible to imagine tl:at the
Spanintds, who bas not spirit enough to oppose the French
when they were in possession of ►heir strong holds, will now
rise in arms, when they arc occupied by the enemy ; and
if the! did, they could not hare the most distant prospect
of success.

The Alfrentrine 2 •itnej, of the 19th ult. contains an in-
vo!ved and not very intelligible article on the policy of this
country, with regard to the new Republics of South
America, in which it seems to wish to prove that we, who
Lave so many extra-European possessions, ought to be the
last to acknowledge the independence of that quarter of the
globe, as the tables may be turned against oursulves with
our own Colonies.

The answer to this is very short: the first moment that
the British Governtinmt becomis a curse and a burthcm,
instead of a snpport and a blessing, to any of her Colonies,
the sooner that Colony shakes off her allegiance the better;
and nil the nations of Europe are perfectly welcome to re-
ds/Mae her as a free Government, the moment she has freed
herself from the yoke of the Mother Country. The Co-
lonies of (treat Britain can only be held by a conviction on
the pert of the Colonists, that the connexion is reciprocally
litnefc:sl to.lomh, and the moment that reciprocity of be-
nefit crazes, it is high time to dissolve the co-partnership.

If France, on account of its internal policy. and especially with
respect to the finances, excites the general attention of Europe, it is
Eogland en the other hand whose foreign policy attracts the chief
toiler. We look to the part which it is again on the point of play.
tog in the System of the European l'ontirient, with regard to
which many perhaps have bettetly been inclintsl to believe, that it
had voluntarily excluded itself from it, and continta! itself at the
meat to a negative, MClllitte the preetirc of the day did DM accord
ride the eheories. The result will very shortly ihform us ahLi we
are to think on this bead.. Buf for more interesting is its future

Prole the Cape Papers it appears that a Mr.Greig has
Even sent home to this country for something er other,
connected with the Press of the Colony. The view halloo
his been I;i,•cn, exclusively, as it boacs, by the Editor of
The British Tit:rater, and all the 11'ill4 and Radical
pr.pers arc yelping in full cry. Now, though nothing can
be worse than the condect of the Government of the C'ape,
ff the :tor!, mil& is us Ito y rr/.rv•rrat i/ to Ic, yet, in
justice) it would be well were they to hear both sides of
the question, and Oiey would recommend, that they re-'
frainel from hallooing until they get Lirly clear cf
wood.

It would have been well had they ieormed them-
so lvcs too, ere they commenced criticising the measures
of the (:ape Government, of a fact of which at present they
-0-cm to he profoundly ignorant, that the Colony is under I
Dutch law, and therefore the measures of the Governor are'
not to be judged of, as we would judge of a Governor acting
under a law similar to our own. At all events, wlmtercr

the merits of the case may be, fair play should make
Englishmen hear it before they condemn•

It is extremely gratifying to find that the measures pur-
sued towards effecting the tranquillity of Ireland, have
been attended with the happiest results. At a Privy
Council held last week at Dublin Castle, the provisions of
the Insurrection Act were withdrawn from the whole of
the county of KERRY ; from the entire of the north, and
the greater part of the south liberties of the city of LI-
MERICK, and from several baronies in that county. We
have no wish to see that energetic spirit relaxed, which is
necessary to repress outrage and disturbance; but we
nevertheless look forward anxiously fur Me removal of the
causes which excite them. The system pursued by the
Mai:outs IVELLEALEY is, we know, well calculated to I
conciliate the confidence of the people of Ireland, and to
allay that spirit of intolerance, and those heart-burnings
which have so long cankered the heart of that devoted
country, and cut up its prosperity by the roots. The
burst of public opinion in England has, of late, done
much towards the putting Orange ascendancy out of
fashion, and out of favour. We are becoming more en-
lightened on both sides the water, and in the course of
another thousand years we shall be all fully persuaded of
I what, one should think, a moment's reflection might teach
us—the evil as well as the injustice of making men's
religious (Onions the plea for excluding them from those
tied rights which belong to the citizens of every state, not
as the lifemhers of this or that Chu: eh, but as the leige
subjects of the country. The Christian religion, which is
the most benevolent system that ever appeared among men,
breathes love and charity in every precept, and to make
it—as, to the utter disgrace of its professors, it too long has
been made—the pretext for depriving conscientious men
of the franchise of the Constitution under which
they live, is a course of proceeding to which nothing
but habit, and the most perverted feelings, could
reconcile us. We are accustomed to talk of ('atho-
lic emancipation ; but there is much in this expres-
sion that has a tendency to mislead us. It was well r--
marked by Mr. Fox, in an admirable speech which be
made " on the state of the nation," three and twenty
years ago,—" It is not ensancipation,' in the ordinary
meaning of the term, that the Catholic wants, it is the re-
arced of the dell disabilities that remain, and that remain
fOr no end of either security. of policy, or of prudence--
insulting and vexatious distinctions, beneficial to no inter-
est whatever—but the fruitful source of jealousy, discord,
and national weakness. The Ilan. Gentleman (he pre-
ceetled, adverting to Mr. Dimas), talks of what has been
given to the Catholics ;—Sir, you give them nothing
while you deprive them of a scat in this House. I ',now
of so political rights which ought not to be common to all the
King's subjects, and I am sure that a system of proscrip-
tion, on account of theological differences, will for ever be
found not more unjust and absurd than pernicious. If
this principle needed illustration, Ireland affords it be-
yond the power of controversy." This is the language of an
enlightened statesman, and not a day has passed since it was
spoken, but has borne witness to its practical truth. Hap-
pily, under the present enlightened system of administra-
tion in Ireland, this exclesire spirit is gradually givin.
ground, and the passions and animosities which arise out
of it are in the same degree subsiding : the continuance
of this system, proceeding as it has hitherto done, cannot
fail of eventually consolidating the national interests, and
commanding the affections of the people.

When in private life we see a man who has tong been
notorious for libertinism and profligacy, suddenly turn
round and become rigidly sanctimonious, the world is sel-
dom apt to give him credit for his piety to the full amount
that he appears to demand ; men are rather apt to suppose,
that he has at:burned religion as a cloak to cover some sinis-
ter design, or to carry some measure which he would find
it difficult to do were he to take etc field with his vizor up,
and expose himself in his habitual character.

The F.dinbu►gh Jirriew has long been the enemy of reli-
gion—not the open, avowed, and manly enemy, like its
friends Hone and Cattle, but the sneaking, skulking rifle-
man of infidelityArho ensconces himaslr Ma place of safety,
and from his vantage -ground shcots ridicule with unerring
aim against the broad and uncovered front of his opponent.
What then can 'be the cause of this sneering, insinuat-
ing, half-hinting, half-asserting partisan of I)eistn, wheel-
ing suddenly round, and, in the last number, becoming the
violent advocate of that religion at which he used to smile
in scorn, and the supporters of Missionaries, whom in for-
mer days a Reverend contributor covered with ridicule,
and exposed to the sestet's dread laugh ?
1 think we can explain this anomaly. No cause o
popular clamour now remains, whereon there can rest the
slightest hope of raising an outcry against Government.
The wise conduct of his Majesty's Ministers have silenced
opposition. The country is (to the sorrow of the Whigs)
in a state of unwonted prosperity. Nothing remains then
but to raise an outcry, if possible, against the West In-
dians; and this, and nothing else, is the reason why the
Liberals of the north chinie in with the allied army of
East Indians, Radicals, and serious party of the country.
But as the Edinburgh lirriew is new in its professions
of sanctity, it was to be expected that this apprentice
effort would b', in sonic degree, a bungled one, and so it
has proved; for while they are asserting that the West'
Indian planters were and are uniforn.ly opposed to the'
moral and religious instruction of their slaves, the IVes-
leyan Missionaries, by far the most zealees and useful of
the missionary body in our Colonies, tell us, that so soon
as the planters found from experience that they came
with the sole intention of preaching to the Heathen'
the glad tidings of salvation, a large proportion of the
plantei.s became their friends and supporters; and so far
from opposing them, gore them every assistance it their
power.

_
It. by then have we the complaints from the independent
Missionary Society ? Simply b cause they did no: confine
themselves to the great objects for which they were sent to
the. Vcst Befits, but mixed with it political party spirit.
In proof of this it is only necessary to .tat:•, that while the
deacons of Smith's congregation were the ringleaders of the
insurrection in Demerara, and all his c.nigref.,,atinn were
more or less implieata d in it, only lu.i lity,ro:s belonging
to the communion of the Wesleyans were even suspected,
and these two, after a most minute scrutiny had held
on their conduct, were fully aceiitted.
But as one fan is worth twenty arguments, hear the
evidence of the Wesleyan! themselvei, iu opp.isition to
the gratuitous ask rtions of the sanctified set:ff..rs of the
nertla. [The evidence will be found in another part of
our Paper, under the head of IVe:t India Affliirs.]

The Cermans !lave, time out of mind, been proverbial
for lx ing deficient in their quantitits in the Latin language.
The F:aglish, thougli the most correct Luin scholars in
the world, have a tendency to pronounce the words of
every other language with the same accentuation as if they
were their own. Thus, for instance, we hav,.? that must

cataract-sounding name--Niagara, from the Indian word.:
" Xci wa ga ra," which is, of necessity, two as good
orthodox spondees as can well be written,
transformed
into a whole body of shorts, in the very teeth of one of our
most classical poets, who in verse demonstrates it as every
syllable long—
" Where wild Oswego spires& her swamps around,
And Niagara stuns with thundering sound."
Anil this brevity is confirmed by the diminutive Catullus
of modern English rhyme, to the utter horror of all the
admirers of good prosody, when he makes it a word of
four short syllables, which, we appeal to any man of taste,
transforms it into a dwarfish, snappish, pert-sounding
vocable.

But our countrymen are always willing to learn ; so we
may do them a s:rvice by informing them, that we can
state on authority (as certain papers say), that two
proper names, at the present day familiar to our mouths
" as household words "—Bolivar and Bogota, are in their
own country pronounced—the former accented on the se-
cond syllable, which is long, the first and third being
short—and the latter on the third syllable long, the first
and second short. So, after this fair warning, should any
one pronounce them differently, he is a traitor, and guilty
of high treason against our sovereign doinine, Lindley
Murray, his fertile, and dignity.

The cause of Don Miguel's emigration to France has in
nowise prevented him from receiving the most distinguish-

Medailles, 2S July, 1824" ; and on the reverse the Genius

A letter from Zante of the 21st June states, that an act
of treason had occurred at Ilissolonglii, which at one time
threatened the most dangerous consequences. It appears
that Caralcystor, one of the Governors of the city, had
agreed to deliver it up to Jussuf Pacha, who was to march
13,1100 Turks towards the fortress. The correspondence
containing this plot was seized by a post of Greeks, and
forwarded to Prince Nlavrocodato, who took measures to
present its execution. The Turks marched, but were met
and defeated, and Caralcystos is stated to have been put in
irons.

A correspondent, who signs " Americanus," thus writes—
" I should have been happy to have remarked your very
respectable paper detailing to the public the geographical
positions of the principal places mentioned in the anonymous
letter, giving an account of a decisive victory gained by
Seignor Don Simon de Bolivar, over the Royalist army in
Peru, as the public, on at c't particularaccounts being pub-
lished without names being given, should be put on their
guard. I have just referred to Arrowimiith's celebrated
map of South America, whereby it appears to be im-
possible that results, such as are detailed, could have
occurred from a battle at Carme. The Royalists, after
being defeated on the 6th of May, are made to retire over
the bridge of Iluaras, to Guarmey, where they encounter
a detachment of 4;000 men and General Radii, to retreat
on Lima. Hearts is at least fifty miles to the east
of Guarmey, and Guarmey one hundred and fifty miles from
Lima ; at such a distance. how is it postible Bolivar could take
ion of Lima on the 10th, three days after the battle,
possession
g2OO miles from that city? I am apprehensive the
reports given in the French Paper", confined as they have ,
been by private letters, ocalia worthy and celebrated cha-
racter having been obliged to retyira to Colombia, will
prove but too correct.'.

May come too smart, and she'll complain then?

THE HERTFORD FETE.

We have seldom had to record an entertainment like
this. The Noble Marquis was determined that his taste
and munificence should not be called in question, and
therefore he gave a ball and supper on Friday last to the
Ladies, in a style of more than Oriental magnificence.
The suite of five rooms—the ptqaortions are prodigious
—were more brilliantly illuminated than before, and their 11
matchless furniture, in the style of Louis the Fourteenth,
being reflected by the infinity of mirrors, produced an
efft•ct quite magical. The visitants began to arrive at ten
o'clock • a promenade till a quarter past eleven. Dancing
commenced half an hour after with a quadrille (a new
une, played by sixteen French performers), led off by tl'e
Ladies Clement and Charteris, Lords Chesterfield and
Cholmendeley.
The coup dcril was heightened by a perspective view
in the rear of the Music Gallery, of the Tapestry Saloon, a
kind of fanciful boudoir, upon a large scale, the walls of
which were hung with a scriptural stibject, " Our Saviour
healing the sick, personified by groups of figures, as large
as life, admirably executed. indeed, it is very probable
that this may be, what it is said to be, the chef ((warre of
the early Gobellin School. .

The 'supper hour was two, but it was half-past when
the banquet commenced in he dining :coin, beneath tl.e
ball-rootti, now opened f,.,r the first time. it was a magni-
ficent spectacle, to see the display of glittering plate, aided
by a plateaux of singular grandeur, bearing the finest
flowers, and the whole lighted up by bratiehts of gold and
frosted silver. The most delicious wines, French, SpaniA,
Italian, and Hungarian ; fruits of this year's growth, from
the south of France; in short, every thing was provided
in profusion. •
At four o'clock the dancing recommenced, and at six the
music ceased.

Among the company present were—
The Dutch Ambassador and lady, the Portuguese Minister and
suite, the Neapolitan and Sardinian Ministers, the Princess Gott-
ehakoff and I,einingen, the Duke of Dorset, Duchess of Welling.
