with from the courtiers about his Majesty. These gentlemen.
doubtless, bear him a grudge fur having so speedily despatched
Bessieres. The King, however, seems to show him great regard.
As our situation becomes every day worse, the English capitalists,
on whom the Government placed some hopes of a loan, have plsinly
declared, that the present situation of Spain is such as not to in-
spire the smallest confidence, that the principal proprietors are pro-
scribed os in prison, that those who return from America with their
fortunes, do not venture to land in the Peninsula, being terrified by
the accounts of what is passing there : lastly, that even if the Govern.
ment would give all the securities required of it and 'would bind itself
in the mat solemn manner, they would not feel any more cone-
dente on that account, since a Royal decree, according to our Ono.
lute system, can annul the most sacred contracts. Our fanatics ate
in a rage at seeing things regarded in this light, by the very persons
who say they lavished their gold on the Revolutionists, and will ant
open their purses for a legitimate Government like ours.

By letters from Naples of the 27th Sept. it appears that
there are two or three Tripolitan Corsairs in the Adriatic,
and that they have recently been seen with two prizes,
supposed to have been Neapolitan vessels. A Neapolitan
frigate has been despatched after these corsair., and time
Vesuvius, a ship of the line, was on her way to Tripoli.
The Gov, rnment of Naples has ordered a quarantine of
fourteen days for any of its vessels going from one port of
that kiog4om to another, under the apprehension that the
Captain might conceal the circumstance of having been
boarded by the Corsairs, on board of whose ships the phone
is said to rage. A commercial agent has been appointed
fin the kingdom of Wirtemburg, at Naples.

The mail from Buenos Ayres, which arrived yesterday,
brought letters and papers to the 6th of August. The
commercial intelligence in the former is confined to the
statement of the fact, that cotton goods have advanced
from 15 to 20 per cent. in value. There seems to be no
apprehension among the mercantile classes that hostilities
will soon, if at all, tale place. The New Brazilian Consul
and Political Agent Was recognised on the 22d of July.
The appointment of DON Mwxurn SARRINTIN is an-
nounced as the successor of Mr. RIVALIATIA, at the British
Court. It is added, that as the new Envoy was to touch
at Rio, lie might possibly be instructed to avail himself
of the good offices of Sir CHARLES STUART, in pre-
, venting any misunderstanding between the Imperial Go-
vernment and its Republican neighbours. A communi-
cation from Monte Video, dated August 12, states that it is
not expected that the campaign in the Banda Oriental will
be commenced before next spring. These provinces are
meanwhile organising themselves for the struggle they have
to make for their independence. The military head-quar-
ters were stationed above Monte Video, and the seat of the
Provisional Government fixed at La Florida, where the
greater part of the Representatives were assembled. The'
Argos, of August 3, contains the following account of the
reception of Mr. WIIOIIB I N Paulin, on the presentation
of his credentials as hiSMAJIIITV.B Charge d'Affaires to the
New State :
Woodbine Parish, Esq. has presented to our Government
his credentials, which are as follow :
" Foreign Office, May 24, 1825.
" Sir,—A treaty of friendship, navigation, and commerce, hav-
ing been happily concluded between his Majesty and the United
Provinces of the Rio de la Plata, and the ratifications having been
exchanged, the Ring, my master, has been pleased to invest
Woodbine Parish, Esq. his Majesty's Consul-General, with the
additional diplomatic character of his Charge d'Affaires be the said

provinces. I bare, therefore, to request your Excellency to give
entire credit to everything that Mr. Parish may communicate on
the part of his 31sjesty, and especially assuring your Excellency
and your Government, of the lively interest which his Majesty
takes in everythi4g that concerns the welfare, prosperity, sod in.
dependence, of the Vnited Provinces of the Rio de la Plata.
" I have the honour to be, &c.

(Signed) " GEORGE CANNING."
" To his Excellency Senor Don Manuel Jose Garcia, &c. &c."
In consequence of the above, Mr. Parish, In his new diplomatic
character, was Introduced by the Minister of Foreign Atilt,
to s private audience of his Excellency, whom be addressed as
follows :

" Sir—The credentials which I have hsd the honour to present'
to your Minister for Foreign Affairs complete the recognition of
this Republic by his Britannic Majesty.
" The establishment of diplomatic relatioos is the natural con-
sequence of the solemn Treaty, so happily concluded between the
two Oovernments.

" I profit by this first opportunity to express to your Excellency,
by order of his Majesty, my august Sovereign, his Majesty's en.
tire satisfaction at the establishment of such specific and friendly
relations between the two countries, and the lively interest which
his Majesty takes in the welfare, prosperity, and independence of
the United Province of the Rio de la Plata.
" With these expressions from my Sovereign to his geed friends
I conclude, protesting to your Excellency, which I may be allowed
to do on such an occasion, the great pleasure wh'eh I personally
feel in being appointed by his Majesty to reside In a country where
I have already received so many proofs of friendship."
His Excellency made a suitable reply to the expirations of
friendship which Mr. Parish made in the name of his Government.
The English man•ot-war in the harbour hoisted the flag of the
Republic, and saluted the fort, which returned the compliment.
The national colours were placed the whole day on the house of
Mr. Parish, and the public edifices were illuminated in the even-
ing.

It Las been said that the character of the Roman Catho-
Vc Church has been modified and meliorated with the
progress of knowledge and by the influence of public opi-
nion. We would advise those who are, by this representa-
tion of the improved condition of the Roman Catholic
Church, disposed to n:gard it with mote complacency, to
read and.eonsider attentively the Lollar excommunication

fulminated last month by the POPE against Dr. VET, who
has lately been elected Bishop of Deventer, in the Nether-
lands. Because this Clergman has conceded some point
in the dispute now pending between his Government and
the Court of Rome, he is denounced in round terms as
the chief of the schismatics of Utretcht. "We therefore,"

says this memorable document, " excommunicate and ana-
thematise the said 11'ittla 74 VET, and all those who have
taken any part in his culpable election, and also those
who have assisted by their power, care, consent or ad►ice,
either in his election or enthronement." The bull then
proceeds to interdict the excommunicated Bishop from per-
forming any of the functions of his episcopal office. In
perusing this instrument, we are reminded of ages which
we thought had passed away for ever. By what gen-
tle and persuasive means his Ifomxxas endeavours to
bring lack the stray sheep to his fold ! Au anathema is
issued not only against the schismatic prelate, but all those
who have favoured or even permitted his election. This
denunciation includes the King of the NFA'HERLANDS,
without whose express consent neither the election nor the
enthronement could have taken place. %Ve see, therefore,
beyond all doubt, that the pretensions of the Papal Court
are unchanged and unchangeable. The bull of excom-
munication fulminated against Dr. NIFT is the assertion of
an authority precisely similar in principle to that exercised
by the Popes of other days in absolving subjects front their
oaths ntallegiance-acid deposing Kings.
