In fire New Yotk Papers received by the last packet, it was I
stated.on the authority of advices frorn nuenosAytes, that,
on the 21st of Mara, La SCRYA declared his adhesion to
the absolute Monarchy, and, at the same time, resigned!
Ilia command of the army and his government. A pro-
clamation has, however, been received, purporting tn have
been issued by the Viceroy, at Cusco, on the 11th of March,
in which he boasts of " the pleasure and glory of declar-
ing the triumph of the sacred and primitive rights of the
Crown," but distinctly avows his " purpose of maintain-
ing the unity and good order of the provinces entrusted
to his direction and care." The Evening Paper, there-
fore, concludes, that the abdication of LA SERNA 011
the 21st of March, at Oruro, was " a parody or fa-
brication, issued by the party of OLANETA." We are
of opinion that this .inclusion is drawn somewhat too
hastily. It is not to be supposed that LA SERNA abdi-
cated his authority voluntarily. Ile might have ebewn
every disposition to continue in the government of Peru
on the 11th of March at Cusco, though on the 21st be
found it necessary to give way to circumstances, and resign
on terms a power which in fact he ro longer possessed.
OLaHIT• had abolished the Constitutional system in'
Charms and Potosi some time before Ls SEIINA reluc-
tantly proclaimed the absolute King ; yet OLANITA was
in a short time obliged to consult his personal safety by
going over to the Americans, in consequence of the mutiny
of his troops, who were all staunch Constitutionalists. In
the same way we suppose LA SEUNA was afterwards situ-
ated himself. Ile balanced, perhaps, between the advan-
tages of attempting an establishment in Peru, and of re-
turning to his property in Spain, and decided in favour of
the latter. At first he seems to have been anxious to in-
gratiate himself with his Sovereign, who he was appre-
hensive would be displeased with his tardiness in restoring
the absolute system ; but the disaffection of the soldiery,
we have no doubt, cotnpelled him to renounce his autho-
rity soon after he had declared against the Conc.], by
whom he was sent to Peru. We really cannot understand
the reason why every piece of intelligence favourable to
the freedom of America is to be thus regularly disputed
and denied.

A contemporary says, that "attempts have been made
to excite an odium against the unfortunate foreigners who
have been driven to seek an asylum in this country." We,
deny this statement. No such attempts have been made :
but attempts hare been made, and we think successfully,
to show that the Spanish refugees cannot be served by
having their cause advocated by men whose misfortune it
is to ruin whatever they undertake to support. The " dis-
gust which men of every party" will feel, is not against
those who lay open the factious folly of the journalists to
whom we allude, but against those who, under pretence of
assisting the exiles, us.: a menacing tone, which, they
must know, cannot operate otherwise than injuriously
to the objects of their pseudo-philanthropy. It well be-
comes these persons to talk of " ungenerous attacks," when
they are yet smarting through the chastisement justly
inflicted upon them for an attack, not only of the most
ungenerous" nature, but utterly false. They now tell
us, to be sure—though with somewhat of a bad grace-1
that they " firmly believe that the Secretary for Foreign
afrairs is disposed to do all that he possibly can in behalf
of the Spaniards;" but they immediately turn the com-
pliment to Mr. CAN N:NO into an insult to his colleagues,
by adding, " We wish we could say as much for every
other Member of the Cabinet." This, forsooth, is not at
all " ungenerous." It is quite allowable to impute all
" malice, hatred, and uncharitableness," to the King's
Ministers; but let no man dare to say that an Opposition
journalist can be any thing less than a miracle of wisdom,
purity, delicacy, and honour.

Mr. Secretary Canning is expected to leave Gloucester
Lodge this morning for Ireland.
Il is Grace the Duke of 11"ellington left Strathfieldsaye
on Thursday for London. The Duke's health, we are
happy to find, is considerab:y improved. His Grace's

quent than usual, owing to the advice of his medical ad-
tendants.

ed official business yesterday with the Duke of York, at
his residence in Stable-yard, St. James's.
Despatches were yesterday received at the Colonial
Office, Downing-street, from Sir Frederick Adam, at
Corfu, dated the Pith of August, but they contain no
political intelligence of importance.
It has been for some time the practice for individuals
bringing out suspicious loans in the Foreign Market to
state that the proceeds would be paid into certain emi-
nent houses, with which they had no connexion, and
whose 1131111,3 were used merely to give a colour to the
transaction. In the prospectus of a loan now circulating
the names of Messrs. nothachild are used in this way. We
have authority to state, that net only have they been mien!
without permission, but that these gentlemen will refuse
to receive any sum or sums which may at any time
he offered to them on account of such transaction.'
This intimation will duubtlea prove serviceable to the
public.
The individual who was examined by the Stock Ex-
chair,:e Committee, r‘ lathe to sonic transactions in Ras-
