PROPOSED NEW MONARCEY IN SOUTH
AMERICA.

Accounts have been received from Buenos-Ayres
by the Matson' sloop of war, of a furious nature
'flay relate to a project discovered to have been in
agitation for placing a Prince of the House of Boar
bon at the head aim independent Sovereignty on
the river Plate. The circumstance has been brought
to light by the late changes in the Government of
Buenos-Ayres. From the documents now published
and received by the Blossom, it appears that in ,June,
181 J, Gomez, the envoy from IhtenosAyres, at Paris,
was invited to a conference by M. De Cazes, then
French Minister for Foreign Affairs, the object of
which was to communicate a project of the French
cabinet for the consolidation of the Independent
Government of South America.

M. Pc Cazes set out with arguments on the
Advantages which would result from a constitutional
monarchy for South Ameriea ; amongst which it
WAS not the least that the European Powers dis-
countenanced all republics ; while, if a monarchical
y•o ernment was consented to, there would remain
no further objection to recognizing their independ-
ence. The Prince proposed by France to be the
head of the new dynasty in South America is the
Duke of Parma, ci-deran! Prince Royal of Etruria,
and son of a sister of Ferdinand of Spain ; he is
represented as 18 years of age, and educated in
liberal principles. An alliance with a Princess of the
Brazils was pointed out as likely to follow, which
would increase the rank and security of the new
stouarchv ; and the restitution of the Banda Orien-
tal would, as a matter of course, become the dowry
of such a marriage.
This project, the French Minister observed,
would meet with the decided • approbation of the
continental powers. espeeially Russia and Austria.
Great Britain might not like it, but yet would not
find any good pretence for resisting it. His Catho-
iia Majesty would yield to the influence of all Europe
with the better grace, as his former dependencies
would be only transferred to a branch of his own
family. The King of France would furnish assist-
ance of every kind, and employ every means, even
to the supply of troops, for carrying the affair into
execution.

A memorial was then banded to the Envoy,
which, after recapitulating all the foregoing argu
ments, urges the necessity of secrecy. in order to
prevent obstacles from Great B:itain, and avows, as
one of the prineinal objects in view, a design to
thwart British influence and commerce in South
America, and to raise french and continental inter-
ests in that quarter. Proceeding on this bias, the
writer of the memorial, which is not, however, in
an official form. expiates on the dangers of a British
Prince being called to the throne of South America,
who would be a fanatic fiur the religious principles of
the nation he would be called to govern, end over-
turn, or at least outrage, the faith of his new
subjects. The Envoy, taken by surprise, raised
some slight objections, and declined giving any
decisive answer, us he had not sufficient i ►structions
on a proposal of so important a nature. The
French Minister readily consented to his asking fbr
instruction.

On the 26th October last, when the statement of
this conference reached Bueeos-Ayres, Rondeau,
thin Director ad interim, made a secret communi-
cation to the Congress, and transmitted to them the
letter of the Envoy, together with the Frencch me-
morial ; on the following day the Sd of November,
the matter was discussed in secret meetings, and the
result was a resolution, that the Constitution lately
sworn to, allows no alteration to be made in the form
of government till after the meeting of the two
Chamber;. Chat a Lianch of the Bourbon family,
so closely conneetol with the reigning monarch of
Spain, was in itseli'an in aiperahle objection, as also
the consideration that the Prince, proposed and
supported by the powers of the European Continent,
would naturally more incline towards the views of
Lis protectors than those of South America, which
ought to avoid all connexion with European conti-
nental politics ; that Great Britain was the power,
flow which South America had most to fear, and
moil to expect. As, however, this was a mere pro.
jest, it was not to be altogether rejected, but hopes
of suecess are to be left to France, with a view of
inducing her to favour South American interests in
Eitrore to a certain extent, and thus gradually to
.ivereowe the reserve of the cabinets with respect to
the nev: independent governments.

It is r.t the same time suggested, that the Envoys
in Europe !hot'id put the communiciaions from
into tl.c lards of the British Ministry, whose
;.;( ~d (Tinian and protcetion South Amelica is most

A Contitiou Ball was convened on Friday for the
purpose of considering the propoety of addressing her
Majesty on her ietorti to this eountry.
'the Lurd Mayor al the inatal boor took the chair;
the Crier opened the Ilan in the aceirstoiried manner,
and coticluded the summons to the Livery, as sistial,
with " Gid save the King." A cry of '• The Queen!
the qieett 1" was loudly vociferated from all parts 0.
the Hall, anti fur surer inimstes it was impossible to
maintain older. As soon es the tumult had in some

The LORD MAYOR came forward, and stated that he
had received a requisition, lay a number of re-
spectable gentlemen of Ore Livery, calling 'itm hint to

while resident abroad, and alluded to the asperse. its

tendered to support her with solvirdour in foreign coun-

ferred the mainteitance of Iles honour to the acquisition
of riches; she nobly resolved to meet her accusers, and
defy enquiry. What theii was the conduct of govern-
ment, when it was discovered that all the etiorts to
keep her Majesty osit of the country haii been Ironies*?
No conveyance was sent for her, and tin suite accompa-
nied her. A worthy alderman truieed, had shown his
zeal in her cause, and had proved himself capable of
supporting it. (Loud applause ) Could any thing be.
more dignified than het Nlajesty's alibis er to the pro..,
posits made to her? It was well usury or remem-
brance. " Yes (said her Majesty). I w II consider them;
hut I will consider them hi Li dim, and no where
else." Alter some further libellibsellail.lsts, tie concluded
with musing a series of resolutions.
Mr. WETIIERSPOON secontlid the resolutions.
Mr. Alderman 4VAITHMAN regrt-tted that a Common
hall hail not, been CWOLned on an earlier day for the
consideration of this question. lie earnestly called upon
his fellow citizens to prevent a secret enquiry, and to
demand an open investigation.
Mr. FAVELL congratulated the Livery on the acquisi-
tion of two new gentlemen to support their privileges,
in the persons of the mover and seconder of these reso-
lutions. He concluded by eulogizing the conduct of ,
Alslerniasi Wood.
On the 6th resolution being proposed,
Mr. Itowcaorr said, lie did not diner from the sen-
timents contained in the resolution, but lee regretted
much that au address was proposed. The truth was,
the Livery were making themselves parties to try out
and coodrum another. W lieu they gave a verdict o
acquittal, they cast a very strong, aspersion on their So.
tereign. (Cries of "No, Ito ; " and much disapposisa-
non.) He felt the error of that expression, and 0 lull
say, that they would, in fact, cossiletim his Alajvsty's
tvisers, and call in question the iltteretion of the too
Houses of Parliaineut. Were the disapprobation was

Alderman WAITHMAN tail he had made use of such
expressions an hundred tones, even In addresses to Idle
House itself.
The LORD MAYOR said, he would not suffer such

After Mr. %Voider had explained the expression, his
Lordship said lie was eatisfied.
Mr. I,VOOLER concluded by movi..g the 7th moni-

An address, founded upon the resolution, was next
read, and agreed to utianinamsty.

were carried with acclamation.
Mr. Alderman WOOD then came forward. Ile was

cittzeos, but particularly on the prescot occasion, he-
cause he felt as an Englishinair, he had (lout his
(Applause.) 'flue part he had taken in toe cause of her

is it'd a clear coal:tits:cc, that in what he had done lie

- -
had been actuated by the hest of feelings, and he should
never to the latest hour of his hie, regret his conduct
on the present occasion. [Great applause.) He wished
also to take this opportunity of explaiiimg the reasons
fur his silence in Parliament on this subject. He was
acquainted at the present moment with many important
facts relative to her Majesty, and he was anxious not to
divulge any thing omit the proper time arrived for the
disclosure. His fellow-eitizenis knew him too well, us
suppose that he could be induced to give any infiarma-
' , which at the present time Might be itjurious to
the interests of her Majesty. lie had abstained from
many public places, and hcd even refused some private
invitations solely no that account. Ile had forborne
t xpressina any sentiments respectini.; this delicate sub-
ject ; and lie wool.' not give any opinion with the ex-
ception of this single one, that her Majesty should never
leave this country. (Loud applause, and cries of,
" May she lona live among tut') By some persons he
might be ridiculed for the course he had taken—perhaps
he might not have acted with " absolute wisdom;" but
lie could say, without fear of contradiction, that lie had
acted with a firmness and uprightness of which he never
should be ashamed.
The other resolutions which were matters of course,
were then proposed and agreed to.
After the business for which the Common Hail had
be: convened was gone through,
Mr. J. GSIFVITBI stepped forward, and said, lie had
a questino to put to the Lord Mayor, who was then
standup.: to front of the hustings. He said, he had seen
