By the Jamaica Mail yesterday we received some
important intelligence from Colombia. M. Chasseriau,
the French Commissioner, has been obliged to leave the
republic in consequence of the refusal of the Colombian
authorities to receive him. The suspiciens of the new
States, we are glad to find, arc awakened with respect to
the conduct of France; and though the American Govern-
! meats cannot absolutely exclude Frenchmen from their
dominions, yet they will not facilitate the perfidious de-
!signs of the French agents, by investing them with a di-
plomatic character, until the views o 1 France are more
clearly avowed as to the question of American indepen-
dence. The journals which are known to speak the senti-11
metes of the Court of the Tuileries declare, that " the I
French Government on this question isnot forgetful of the!
interests of Spain." The most undisguised hostility is!
everywhere, and on every occasion, manifested towards the
new States by all the creatures and dependents of the,
Holy Alliance. The mistake committed by those who
argue that Franca will not aid an attempt to sub-
jugate the Spanish cclonics afresh to the mother coun-
try, consists i.t the assumption that the interests of
the nation will prevail over the feeliees of the Court.
If indeed public opiuion in France had acquired that
strength and consistency which it has attained in Eng-
land, there would be sonic foundation for the argument ofi
these reason, rs. But this assumption is grew:Mess. The
war against Spain was undertaken in contempt of the pub-
lic voice of France. An armament against Mexico or South
America would in all probability be popular ; at least there
would be no lack of a.A•enturers to embark for the second
conquest of the New World. Though the evolution septa-
then latch• sent out to cruise in the Mediterranean may re-
turn to Brest, a.; was announced a week ago in the French
papers, we see no reason therefore to disbelieve that the
the Bourbons no longer hope to reign over the vast and
rich provinces of their late empire in America. A plot so
extensive must be some time in being matured; but when
it is at length fully resolved to carry it into execution, we
shah apin bare occasion to admire and regret the signer of
the French Government. Have we forgotten that Louis
XVIII., with his own lips, solemnly declared in the face,
of Europe. that malevolence only could impute to bins any',
;tee ile de idgn in the formation of the cordon sanitaire, but
a n:ontli Cr two before he changed that force into an army
of observat:on, and announced front the same seat, that'
100,0e0 Fr, nehmen, headed by a eon of St. Louis, was
about to march into Spain? The cordon sanitaire was not
formed in a month, nor perhaps will an armament against
America be prepared in a twelvemonth, but we have no
doubt that it is contemplated. The French navy is ac-
quiring experience to enable the seamen to Cope with
the hardy mariners in the service of the new republics.
These, it must be admitted, are conjectures, but they
appear to us to be so confirmed by concomitant dr-
curnstancts, that we arc afraid they arc too well founded.'
As to the " secret instructions" to the spies of the Holy
Alliance, which have been published in some journals, we
regard them as silly fabrications. How can they have
found their way into a newspaper effree? The " exult-
ing" declaration of the !':tile, which has been exultingly
quoted in support of their authenticity, ought rather to
prove the reverse. If they Were genuine, would it 110 k
'have been the interest of the French Government to have
suppressed them ? Would not the Censors have street
out the indiscreet avowal of the

LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTLMIILIt 10, 18511.

The letter of our Paris correspondent contains some ire=
in:CS:VC and in ieortant observations on the recent removal
of certain Prefects from tbeir respective departments, which
is considers as affording additional proof of the counter-
resolutienary triumph, and of the prevailing influence of
the Jesuits. The Ultra-Montaix party keep a register of
every public functionary, and those who do notlentl them-
selves to their crone to overturn the present order of,
things, and do not concur effectively In forwarding the
re-orwemizatioo of the ecclesiastical regime, arc forthwith
put under the ban. Nothing shun of the most devoted
subserviency to their views will content these spititual
pastors. This is sufficiently manifehteol by the dismission
of the three Prefects, MM. SIMLOII, LISCOWIS, and
A TIC EI.I kR, who certainly did not err on the eae of Übe-
rvfi.int ; but, on the contrary, bad given ample proofs of
tiLeir w:rvility : but they were regarded as converts whose
vial was not to he trusted. It had not been forgotten, that
ir. the time of M. Menne they had been the advocates of
treacration. They, besides, did not receive the sacra-
mental test with sufficient regularity ; they were not afilia-
tel with any congregation; they were not the panegyrists
of SAINT BARTIIOIO,II.IV and the Inquisition. There
vas in this wherewithal to expose them to the corrective
resentment of that party who aim to vest in their own
order 411 public employments of every description, and who
will never rest satisfied until the Jesuits are all in all.

It appears by the same letter, that the rumoured Ins-
provetnent in the King's health, thoneh not wholly un-
warranted, is the mere result of those fluctuations which
the last struggles of mortality so frequently exhibit. A
Li:ster applied between the shoulders rose, though uncx-
reetedly, and produced a temporary Food eißct. liut a
mortification id said to be making such progress in the ex-
treefeies as utterly to preclude all hope er any favourable
e'.ange. Even the alternations of hope already exefitl,
here given no alight vexation to certain persona, who arc
ting with eager impatience that tart great fern!, which
is is put them in possession of power. The principal ad-
hetents of the Count D'ARTOIS have received, par avance,
the congratulations of their friends, soine of whom have
ass.ected the period of fifteen Sias as the utmost protraction
of those hopes, which, at all events, cannot be far from
th..ir accomplishment. The present Ministers, in'
their turn, are exclusively occupied iii taking every pre-1
,)ation necessary to the security of their places. Their
si;t- ground of disquietude is the House or Peers; in
which, on two important occasions, they lost the majority.
M. V!LLELE had long had it in contemplation to creak a
of Peers, by way of ensuring his future triumphs;
but this measure, it was conceived, would shock the pre-
judices of the people simcwhat too much, and the pro-
jeet was, pro tempore, abandoned. Ile calculates, how-
ever, that the death of the King will enable him to carry
ties measure ; and he has in conyquenee drawn up, con-
jenctly with the Count D'Aarots, n list of intentletVere-
at'ree ; and one of the first acts of this Prince, on his so.
cession, will be the promulgation of the list of thole. who
are to be elevated to the Peerage. Should any one (een-
tiutees our Correspondent) charge the Minister with a
w.sli to shift the majority of the (lambir to his side, he
w:e reply, " that lie has no such wisb, but that it is
virtual that a new King, on coming to the throne, should
',lei to give some public testimony of his regard for those
friends to whose set vices he has been greatly indebted."
M. Viceees imagines that under this plausible pretext
the creation of new peerages will be favourAly received in
the, pub lic opinion. The intimate friends the Count
Ir, A n rots approve this mode of menegetnent : they smile,
how -ver, when they see M. Vi Let et: expecting himself to
reap the fruits of a measure, the benefits of which they
hope to reserve exclusively to themselves.
jly private letters arrived in Paris from Spain, it appears

" The day previous to the arrival of the Ilenegatio schooner et
Carthaevns, the French frigate La flora sailed from that port,
having en toa,tl 31. Chasseriau, the Agent from the Fzench Go-
vernment to tile Republic of Colombia. It appears he had been
refused a paacpatt from the authorities of Carthagena to proceed to
flogoca ; he therefore relinquished his diplomatic mission. There
are, however, sever .1 Frer.ch gentlemen throughout the Republic
who are ostensibly naturalists, and appear to be engaged in scien-
tific pursuits. They ere supposed to have comtnissians, which
they will produce as circumstance+ may require, or the preent sus-
picions al,-ainst France bec.,lne mitigated."

The particulars contained in the lunaica Papers relative
to the Execution of the insurgent negrocs, have no room
for doubt that the crimes and confusion in that island have
:triscn from the mischievous delusions spread among the
.laves respect:n7 their manumission by the King. In ad-
dition to the extracts we give In another column from the
Papers, we suljoin the following passage from a private
letter rec,ived by the mail yesterday from an eminent
merchant residing at Kingston :
" You will sce by the Parcrs that the twelve unfortunate wretches
who were concerned in the last mutiny have been executed. This
is the first biotic! that Wilberforce and his party have to account
for; but I fear It will not be the last. We are, seemingly, all
quite quiet at present ; but the minds of the slave population have
been so unsettled the principles carefully disseminated among
gieiu by that party, that we may won expect a repctitiun of mutiny
and bloodshed."

therto anaernntably withheld from them, would be paid'
up This daN." Our readers will, of course, take ft for
granted, that the Editor of this paper expressed his regret!,
for having given currency to the folly and calumny
he bad written respecting this trifling delay. They will, 1:
perhaps, expect that he humbled himself in sackcloth
and ashes, ar.d asked pardon for his sins. Quite other-
wise, however, was his conduct. lie persiced in as-
crating to the . King's Ministers an intention of die-
continuing their allowances to the exiles, and took credit to
himself that he terrified them out of this design ! This
is a fair spccitnen of the mode of vilifying public au-
thorities. If something be not done preciseiy at the
moment when a Whig journalist thinks it ought to
be done, he directly heaps upon the Government every
variety of scandalous imputation wide' his ingenuity
can invent. If the thing he done afterwards, lie dilates on
the importance of the press in controlling the a gen ts of power,
and intimates that he compelled them to shrink into com-
pliance with his directions ; if the thing be not done at all,
be enlarges on the profligate contempt manifested for public
opinion, and predicts the establishment of a military des-1
potism. In another column we have given, from an Even-
ing Paper, a correct statement of facts relative to the allow-
ances granted by his 'Majesty's Goa tOnment to the Spanish
refugees, and we trust after this notice that these unfor-
tunate persons will, for their own sakes, in future avoid the
advocacy of men who take up their cause only sp a God-
send to calumniate the Ministry, knowing as they well do
at the same time, that if the work of charity be abandoned
by Government, there is no other belly by whom it can ce

ENGLISH orERA-HOUSE.

The thirty-eighth roresentation of Der reeisehutx took
place last night at .his theatre. The frequent repetition
of the piece, and the unabated interest which it still arrears
to excite, speak most powerfully in favour of its montand
its popularity. Neither has the manager been deficient in
professional tact upon the occasion. Well knowing that a
feast may pall upon the appetite from its edinenesa and
want of variety, he Las judiciously altered the minis-
ters of the musical banquet. By this proceeding he
has given an additional Lin to the entertainment,
and the complaints of tog/ours predrie cannot be made by
his audience. Thus we have had the part of Agnes first
!represented by Miss Noel, whose gentle emotion u.sde
room for Miss Stephens ; and when the notes of this syren
have made their due impression, she makes her graceful
exit, and is succeeded with equal effect by Miss Paton.—
It cannot, therefore, be a matter of astonishment, that a,
picee thus skilfully gal ep, with its principal fe-
male character sustained by almost all the delightful
' vocal talent of the stage, shoeld command the appro-
bation of the public, •and enjoy a greater degree of
favour than has been bestowed upon any similar produc-
tion of the present day. The good sense of the manager,
in this scilicet, lies hail a powerful auxiliary in the wild
and interesting genius of the author. The object of Ger-
man music is, as far as we can form an opinion, like that
of their dramatic performances—chiefly effiet ; and though
the means may be sometimes, perhaps, fantastic and unna-
tural, the end of the con-poster (whctleT dramatic or
musical)) is generally attained, and he almost invariably
makes his', way though Ilia mode may not be perfectly
legitimate or consistent with sound taste, to the heart, and
commands the intense attention of his auditor or reader.
The overture to the piece seemed to excite as muds interest,
and drew down as much applause, as if it had been per-
I formed for the first time ; and though its transitions may

PREACH PAPERS.

Yus'crdav we received the Rinile of Wedr.esday,
the other Paris payers of Tuesday. The fetowinz arc
extracts:—

In the year 11.26 a great and daugrrour quarrel happened
between the Duke of Gloucester, the Protector of Eng-
land during the minority of Min.! VI. and the haughty
Bishop of Winchester (Cardinal Beaufort), his uncle, and
great uncle to the King, which had like to have involved
the whole nation in blood. _ -

.....
The Protector having received intelligence of the
Ri-
▪ s design to surprise the city of London in the night
of the Lord Mayor's day. when the citizens were engaged
ii!obanque dug and rejoicing in honeur of their new ma-
gistrate, be sent for the Mayor, and strictly enjoined him,
for the safety of the city, immediately to raise such a hotly
of citizer.s, as were sufficient to baffle all the attempts that,
should he made e.gainst th sot. This information seen ap-
peared to be well grounded : for the next morning a great
number of the Bishop's faction muleavoured to enter the
city from Set' thwark. by the Wee ; and, being denied
admittance, were so highly enraged, that they assembled
a groat number of archers and men at arms, in order to
force their way. The citizens immediately shut up their
shops, and, arming with the gr. Meat car Aitken, ran to
the bridge to oppose the nnailanta, and wouli have sallied
cut upon their enemies, had they not been prevented- by
the prudent conduct of John Coventry, the Mayor, and
his brethren the Aldermen, which happily prevented the
effusion of much blood. The Prince of Portugal, who
happened at this time to be on his travels in England, with
the Archbishop of Canterbury. generously undertook to
compose the difference between the Protector and Bishop •
but their endeavours proving unsuccessful, the Duke of
Bedford, Regent of France, and brother to the Protector,
came over to accommodate the affair. The artful and am-
bitious Bishop made his story as plausible as possible, to
gain the Regent to his party, and never ceased persecuting
the grind Protector until his death, which happened in
1447, not without shrewd suspicion of being poisoned he
the Bishop, or his precutement. Nl'incliester House had
another inhabitant equally and and persecuting with Car-
dinal Beaufort, in the person of Stephen Gardiner, Bishop
of Winchester, in the reigns of Henry VIII., Edwanl
VI, and Queen Mary, who, though not outwardly so
merciless as Lonnor, Bishop of London. was nothing be-
