The .4lizemciae Zeiluntr, which we received last night,
has accounts from Triest,-, io the 13:11 of May, utterly at
variance with the Austrian fl/server. A vessel, they say,
arrived in four days from Corfu, which brought letters so
late SS the 7th of flay; but they stated nothing positive
respecting ('olocotroni. It scene cerctio, however (they
add), that the old chieftain was rendered incapable of far-
ther karm, as the troops in Napoli di Romania deserted
his son, on which the Greek Government fixed its resi-
dence in that town on the 211 of April. Lord Strangford
is said to have obtained, at length, a promise of the eva-
cuation of the desolated principalities, from Said Effendi,
the Turkish Minister, at a final conference on the '27th of
April. Such a decision would be * complete bar to any
pretexts for further interference by either Russia or her
twin brother in ambition, the plilepnatic Austrian, both
of whom have long bad their sleepless eyes on the l'urkish
provinces.

TRIESTE, MAY

A vessel has arrived, in four days. front Corfu, which brings
letters as late as the 7th May; but they give no cert..in informa-
tion respecting tnlocotroni's fate ; the accounts a►e extremely dif-
ferent, and at Sarlance with each other. It seems certain that the
ffovernment has placed hint In a condition to do no harm, as the
troops in Nararfi di Romania departed his son, on which the Go-
verr.ment fixed its re►idence is the town, on the lald April.
ODZISA., MAT 6.

We learn from Coaktantinople that the Royer Villas, on whose
account there have been as many diplomatic discussions, was at
length set at liberty towards the end of last month. Ile Is said to
have been a victim to the accusation of the Ilospodar, (hike.
The Ilospodar Stains has also released the Boyars who signed the
memorial against him, and it is hoped that their boor deputies
who were to present it in the capital, but were seat to different for.
trrsses, will now be released by the Pane.
The chief subject of all the negiriations, viz. the evacuation of
the principalities, which by late ace:wants had been again promised
by the Turkish Ministers, was not much advanced in a conference
on the 2.3 d of April; and the dtxtrous Said Effendi, while he
allowed the necessity of satisfying Russia, avoided a positive decla-
ration, allegirg manifold arguments for the necessity of a longer
occupation, and frequently expressing a wish to see a Russian Am.
basaador at Constantinople. llowever, as it wits knOwn that the
Effendi'', who were in the Divan of the Hospodars, were sent the
to this capital, it was presumed that this was preparatory to the
evacuation of the principalities, which was at length tntmised in a
conference on the 27th. Time will chew whether the Pone had any
other reasons than those already given, to ce. wn hoed Strangforti's
exertions with success. The (creeks are of opinion that something
unfavourable to the Pone must have occurred, to induce it t 6
make this conceasitio.--Allynneime Zeitung, May 24.

The political state of South America occupies, just now,
the anxious and almost exclusive attention of our user:
chants. The trade of Great Britain, with this vast Con-
tinent, has risen to a magnitude too serious to be trifled
with. A few years since our exports to South America
were nothing ; the jealous monopoly of Old Spain threw
a cordon of exclusion round those shores ; at present they
amount to millions, the whole, with very little exception,
composed of the manufactures of these countries, affording
a vast and rising mart for all our domestic industry.
With concerns of such importance with the New Wor:tl,l
it is not surprising that the present political situation of'.
these great countries should arrest the anxious attention of
those who have property to an immense amount committed
on their shores. The Spanish Cabinet, by some means,
has recently obtained money from France, avowedly on
Gueblianl's loan, but probably .had by the secret conni-
vance of the French Government. An expedition, to con-
sist of 30.000 men, is now said to be preparing by Spain
against South America, and France and Ruatii arc stated
to have given it their unhesitating sanction. An armament
so vast would shake to its foundations the independence of
any province, where its bands were landed. The civil
discord and fury that so long desolated these provinces
would be renewed in their worst horrors, and the destruc-
tion of British commerce must be the certain result.
Millions of British money, committed in loans, would
also await the struggle. Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and
Chili, have all borrowed largely in turn ; a war in the
New World, involving its independence, would render
these securities almost valueless, and entail ruin on thou•
sands. Under such circumstances, the straight-forward
policy of our Cabinet would be to acknowledge the lade- ,
pendence of Spanish America at once ; and to this deci-
sive measure, our Foreign Minister, we believe, strongly
inclines. Mr. Canning has already declared, that any
expedition from a Spanish port, while France holds mili-
tary possession of that country, would be considered as the
armament of the latter power. Spain is now too disor-
ganized and feeble to act of herself; she has neither troops
nor money to do so; any levy throughout her provinces will
be raised amid French bayonets, am'. the resources to float
the expedition must all come from France. Rumours were
current in the city yesterday, proceeding from adviccs from
Mexico to the 27th of January, that the British Commis-
sioners were on their return to this country. Mr. Ward,
it is known, left Mexico about that period, to make his re-
port on the state of that country to Government, but Mr.
Lionel Harvey, the Chief Commissioner, remained, and
had, when the last accounts, to the 13th of March, left
Mexico, taken a house for a twelvemonth. The reports
that have agitated the city for the last two days are, we
are assu.d, wholly unfounded, and that Government has
not received, either from Mexico or from any other part of,
South America, any unfavourable intelligence whatever.
While the independence of those countries remain unac-
knowledged, and the capital of our merchants is so largely
involved, agitating rumours will constantly find their way
acmes the Atlantic, and produce doubt and depression here.'
It is confidently expected that Mr. Canning, before the
present Session closes, will come down with an important
communication to Parliament on this question. What its
purport may be we cannot now attempt to anticipate, but
we should hope it will be the recognition of the inde-
pendence of South America, and that the acknowledgment
will he pronounced before a Spanish soldier is embarked
for those shores.
