REPUBLICS OF SOUTH AMERICA.

(From the TinteB.)
The new republics South America had hitherto soli-
cited in vain their recognition from , the Government of
France. The Bourbon south of the Pyrenees, who holds
the same kind of rights In America as the King of, Sardinia
does in Jerusalem, was too closely allied with the' ileurben
in the Tuilleries to allow the latter to exercise Common
sense; or to um•ult the obviOu. interests of his subjects on
such a question. Villele was too good and dexterous a
Minister to sacrifice the advantages which mittht accrue to
the trade of France from an Ammicsn connexion, to a
mere illusion or punctilio of the Court of Madrid. He
therefore Sent out Con,uls to the American States, and
encouraged between them and France a commercial inter-
Mntrse advantageous to both. But he could not overcome
the scruples of tge Bourbone, and therefore no formal re-
cognition of the new States could be obtained.

With the change of dynasty and of- councils, the feel-
ings of the notch Government on this subject were in-
stoitly ehatigtd. Philip 1., looking himself for recugni
nen to the despotic Govermnenk of the Continent, could
not long refuse to Acknowledge Governments as legitimate
as his own. We have therefore the pleasure of publishing
the following letter from Count Mole to one isf the Envoys
from the South American Republica, which may be re-
-girded as a circular tit all :

" PARIS, SRPT. 30.
" am commanded by his Majesty to iaform you
that the French Government recogezes the independence
of the " * I, and is ready to conclude a treaty of friend-
ship, commerce, and navigation, with that country. This
treaty, founded on the principle of the strictest-veciPreeity,
and upon condbions which shall be considered by both
pieties most advantageous to the two countries, willovith-
out doubt, prove the pledge or relations between them as
intimate as durable. Such; at least, is our sincere desire,
and your Government, Sir, have lungsince exproned si-
mi ar wishes on their part. I therefore beg of you to ac-
quaint them with the present communisation, and, recom-
mend them to rend to Paris an Envoy, furnished with ne-
cessary powers to treat with us on the aforrsaid bates, and
thereby realize the intentiuna of both Governments. Re-
ceive, Sir, the assurance of my deepest respect, and I have
the honour to he, &e., " MOLE.

AFFAIR OF HONOUR BETWEEN LORD
BINGHAM AND MAJOR FITZGERALD.

A c;mtemporary (the Court Journal)halt puidiabed the
correspondence connected with the meeting which lately
took place between Lord Bingham and neje*. Fitzgerald,
near Brussels, by which' it appears that Lord Bingham,:
when a candidate for the representation of the county of.
Mayo, in Ireland, in the year 18/6, made Major Fitzge-
rald a premise of getting him a comfortable appointment;
and the Major asserts in his letters to his Lordship, that
his Lordship having accepted of whit interest he possessed,
and his own personal exertions, after the full explanation
that took place between them, gave a decided promise to
provide for him. For four years after, his Lordship's let-
ters to him have been filled with hope, expectation, and
regret ; and in his letter to his Lordship, dated 17th June,
1830, (the first in the published correspondence), he
metes that he is ready to receive either a good military or
civil situation in any healthy climate ; but would not any
longer submit to be trifled with. Lord Bingham did not
deny the engagement he had entered into to get Major
Fitzgerald a comfortable appointment, to do which he had
exerted himself, and if the- Major's objectionable letters
were withdrawn, was willing to renew his exertions.
Friends had been now appointed,-Col. Fremantle on the
p irt of Lord Bingham; and Lieut. Breedon, R. 14 , Ma-
jor Fitzgerald'e brother-in-law, on his bebelf. A long, car •
respondence,took place, in the course of which the Major's
objectionable letters were withdrawn, but too late to pre-
vent the parties going to
.oatend for the purpose of a hos-
tile meeting, the police in Louden having become ee-
quainted with the neeociatieu. Lbril Bingham was on this
occaeion emenpanied by Capt. Lyon, between whom and
Lieutenant Breedon it was agreed that the parties ghoul,'
meet et mile from Ostend, on the Briooele road. Captain
Lyon and Lord Bingham went to the place appointed by the
former ; but Lieut. Breedon and Major Fitzgerald having
gone on another Brussels road, slime delay took Matte in
Major Fitseeraltre coining on the ground, which he aid
accompanied by Mr. Hailsbam, Mr. Breedon not having
discovered the mistake of the road. Mr. Haileham went
in quoit of Mr. Breerlon, end returned with him, when
Mr. Breedon placed a paper in the hands of Captain Lyon,
signed by himself on the part of Major Fitzgerald, stating;
that having acted under a misconstruction of the 'promise
made by Lord Bingham, and having ascertained that his
Lordship was using his endeavours to serve hitm be tens
anxious to withdraw all hie objectionable letters on the
subject—relying on the honour end generosity of his
Lordship for the ultimate fulfilment of the same. Thus

the matter terminated at Ostend, and tened till the news-
p per twenunts of the affair in England caused Major
Vitzgerald to call for explanatiors, which has produced
the puhlicoion of the whole corropontlence.—.-Norning

MURDER of a WIFE by TIER HUSEAND

(From the Sussex Advertiser.)

•
It is our painful duty to record a most appalling
murder, committed at Newhaven' in this county, on
the night of Friday last, which hai caused a great
sensation in that place, and also in the town, where
the perpetrator of the horrible crime is well known,
and was considered a respectable man in his situa-
tion of life, His name is Harry Winter, the Captain
of a trading vessel, of which we believe he' is part
owner. The instrument used to effect the dreadful
purpose was a fire-shovel, which was broken to
pieces. An inquisition was held at the Bridge Inn
Newhaven, when, from the evidence, it appeared.
that the deceased and her husband had, apparently,
lived unhappily together; and that on Friday morn-
ing, previously to the husband leaving Newhaven
for Lewes, some angry words had passed between
him and the deceased. He reburied from Lewes to

his home about half, past nine o'clock in the evening,
in a state of intoxication; and soon after his arrival
a noise watr heard in the house.- In the morning,
Winter went into the street, smoking his pipe, and
asked a female named Dyer to come and see his
wife. The woman, knowing of their frequent quer-
asked if he bud hurt her. He said "he was
afraid it Willi something worse than that." Mrs.
Dyer did not go, but her, daughter went into the
house, and found the deceased, lying on the floor of
the .bedroom, in :a state of nudity, covered with
blood, and quite dead. She instantly alarmed the
neighbours, and the husband wattaken into custody.
It appeared that Ihe murder had been accomplished
by numerous heavy blows on various parts of the
body and heed (from which the left ear was nearly
severed) by a fire-shovel, which was found broken.
After a patient lnventigatien of tevenliOnrs, the Jury
returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against
Harry Winter, and the Coroner isaited his warrant
for the committal of the prisoner to Horslutm gaol
for trial at the next assizes.* The prisoner, it up-
peered, after the dreadful deed had been perpetrated,
slept in the room all night; and it is supposed that
the clothes of the deceased, which were found torn
to tatters, had been stripped off by the prisoner, as
lie was heard, to say, " She tore my shirt off last
slight, and I have torts her's off. to-night." The pri,
honer, who is about fifty years of age, was conveyed
through this town yesterday.moreing, on his way to
Horsham.

THortWA,LAsEN, travelling to Stuttgartl, overt
took on the road a poor German, heavily laden with a
knapsack ; on seeing the carriage pats the man called to
the coachman to stop, and intreated en be taken up; but the
driver, giving an insolent reply, would have continued his
way, when the Sculptor himself ordered the coachman to
stop, saying he would make room for him inside; he ae-
eardingly requested the tired pedestrian to Come in and
take's Witt. They soon entered into familiar conversation,
in die comae of Which the stranger said he was a painter,
and bearing that the great THORWALIMIN was shortly
expected at Stuttgart, be had started from ---, on foot,
resolved to See an artist whose works had made such noise
Europe. "'And prey, Sir," said lie, *, as you say you
have jast left Rome, have yon seen, or de you know,
Tumawataasatu perennially?" " Yes," replied the sculptor,
I have the good fortune to be very intimate with him,
and promise on our arrival at Stuttgard to present you to
him." At this assurance the German's joy knew no'
bounds ; lie grasped him by the band, and a silont teat
bespoke his gratitude, The benevolent old man felt sen-
sibly moved at the unsophisticated zeal of the young artist,
And not being able, to sustain' his incognito any longer,
Myin (6r god o friend," he exclairntl, .1 I will not keep
ditlttnwunt,
you longer ottigiernie...l am Tn w
