According to several Journals, there .is still great uncertainty
uto the epoch of the Coronation. Sortie saysbat the 15th of May
is the day fixed for this great ceremony, others the 15th of June.
We do not understand upon whist foundation these reports rest.
The King laving said, at the opening of the Chanibers, that the
ceremony would terminate the Session, it can only be that because
the public at that time calculated that the Chambers would finish
by the 15th of Ma?, that this period was assigned. Now that the
term approaches. the impossibility of the Session terminating so
soon is felt, and the period is said tube put of to the 15th of June.
Nothing then is certain, unless it be the words of the King, that
the Coronation should terminate the Session.*

MADRID, MARCH 14.
Government has just received the official account of the defeat of
It troops in Peru, by an extraordinary entries front London. No
pains are spared to conceal this distressing news from the public,
and the police are on the watch, li.teninc to all manner of con-
versations, and to anent any one who should be so indiscreet as to
talk of this unfortutuje event.

Our Ministers turn ail their attention to the &Lira of Portugal,
and they are so earnest in establishing an Army of Obserrattor,
that there would already have been between four and tire thousann
Spanish troops on the frontiers of Portugal. if the state of our
finances had permitted us to put that small body of soldiers in
motion. France also seems to attach some importance m the
'affairs going on at Lisbon, and it is asserted that they are thinking'
of the means of counterbalancing in the Pcninsala the English in•
fluence at Lisbon. It is rather late.
The establishment of the two new Diaries of Madrid will be
allowed on the following conditions:-1. 6,000 francs per annum at
least must be paid to the public charities; 9. The advertisements
of the public establishments must be inserted gratis ; 3. No ar.
titles concerning religion or polities are to be inserted. As ror arty
thine else, as Figaro says, the Editors may say all they jflease.
His Majesty has just ordered the trial of the Ex-Minister Crua

CoNUERCE OF COLOMEIA.—A copy of the Comtncrc'al
Laws and Regulations of Colombia, as they existed at the
end of last November, has been received. The Tariff
authorised by this Republic comes opportunely to greet and
corroborate the improved system of English commercial
policy which Mr. Huskisson so ably recommended in his
speech of last Friday. The staple manufacture of England,
cotton cloths, are admitted to Colombia in Colombian ves-
sels at an ad valorem duty of 10 per cent. ; in British ves-
sels, of 174 per c'nt. Silks at 15 and 444 respectively.
The acquisition of knowledge is facilitated by a free admis-
sion of books in every langtia4e. Maps, pictures, philoso-
phical .nstruments, s: atm 111 s dais, Scc.are likew's admitted
eely. Implements of agriculture, and all machines for ',ire-
paring and working the productions of the soil, as well as
those for the extraction and prt paration of metals, are placed
upon the same salutary footing. In some respects the Co-
lombian Government follows the old coarse prescribed by
prejudice cr fashion. Native productions are fenced
round with prohibitory duties, such as coffee, indigo,
sugar, &c.; and all the productions and manufactures of
Spain and her dependencies.—A duty on consumpt'on, in
the nature of an excise, amounting to three per cent. on
all imported articles, must be added to our estimate of the
charges above described.—For the sake of Revenue, a duty
has been laid upon the native exports from Colombia,
though we conceive with little regard to policy, as the oh-
jret of the new Government ought to be, to send file pro-
ductions of their soil over the world, uninsurnbcred by any
artificial pressure.
'The trial of Fort for the attempted assassination in De-

of which was to substantiate the re-criminatory charges
made by the prisoner against M. de Gatiny, respecting the
