affected :—no:ebullition of popular indignation
or fury in acts of pillage, rapine, and car-
nage :—no disposition to supersede the func-
tions of the law, to which the investigation
and punishment of the • revolt were tranquilly
surrendered, after the open attack of an armed
force had been courageously repelled. Under
such circumstances, it was indecorous in any
of the Ambassadors even to appear to treat
the discomfited party as the party of the KING,
and the victorious Constitutionalists, who had
only employed force for the repression of vio-
lence, as his enemies. If t'he KING'S person
should be seized, then, indeed, it might become
the duty of the Representatives of Foreign Courts
to exert all their influence for his protection ;
but, while the forms of the Constitution are main-
tained, and so long as the KING continues in the
exercise of those functions which the Constitu-
tion has assigned to him, all foreign interference
must be deemed equally impolitic and unjust.

Jamaica Papers arrived this morning to the
13th June. The following are extracts
[From the Rayal Gazette of the Bth June.']

" We learn by the Minerva, that about the
latter end of April a battle was fought between
General BOLIVAR and the Regiment of Arragon,
aided with the Natives of Pasto, which, after a
great Struggle, was decided in favour of the Co-
lumbians, by a reinforcement of 800 men arriv-
ing before the action was concluded; the Inde-
pendents, however, merely maintained their
ground, both parties having suffered great loss.
The army of BOLIVAR was estimated at 5000
effective troops, and the Royal, forces amounted
to an equal number at least. The statement of
BoLtvart having entered Quito is incorrect ; the
inhabitants of that country continue firm to the
Royal cause, and the Clergy have given up all
their plate of the numerous churches, to be coined
into money for the support of the troops.
• !" Advices from Lima,- of the 7th April, have
been received at Panama, at which time SAN
MARTIN was preparing to march for Upper
Peru with an army pf 8000 effective men, as well
as many new-raised troops. LE CERNA and
RAMIREZ, Royal Generals, were with a force of
from 12 to 13,000 men in possession of all Upper
Peru and all the mines ; SAN MARTIN • had, in
consequence, been obliged to resort to paper
money.

" The following intelligence has been received
at Havannalx from Vera Cruz Things are
going on very badly in Mexico, and all the
Europeans who have property in Vera Cruz are
leaving
[Extract of a Letter from St. Jago de NM, May 21.]
" Col. MORILLO is here, with two 'schooners
laden with some of MORALES' troops—another
is hourly expected—in all about 500: they ca-
pitulated near Maracabo. It appears that Mo-
RALES was with about 2000 men, and would
maintain his point.

" Accounts from St. Thomas state, that the
Patriots had quiet and peaceful possession of
nearly the whole of the Spanish Main, and great
mercantile speculations were making in indigo,
coffee, cocoa, and cotton."

From the explanations which have been given
in the House of Commons,respeCting the Turkish
frigate which was said to be fitting out in this
country with a complement of men and guns, in
order to enable her to cruise against the Greeks,
it appears that the consent of Government was
never given for the purpose alleged,—that Go_
vernment never intended to permit her to be so
fitted out,—that on the contrary a request to that
effect had been refused, on the ground of its
inconsistency with the declared neutrality of
this country and that in fact the ship has
no greater number of British hands on board
than are necessary for her repairs, and for
navigating her as an armed merchantman to
some port in the Mediterranean, in which
character she arrived hi this, country before the
Greek insurrection had assumed a serious aspect.
It seems to be admitted, however, that a design
existed to take her out, if possible, fully equipped
as a ship of war,—a design which might have
been effected but for the vigilance which has
been excited on the subject.

Our intelligent Protestant Readers will con-
sider the grant of ten thousand pounds, Voted
last night in the Committee of Supply for the
building of Churches and Glebe houses in Ire-
land, as not the least important step which has
been taken for the restoration of that ill-fated
country to prosperity and peace. The expenditure
of the sum, as far as it goes, will be serviceable
in employing a part of the starving population ;
while the facilities which it will afford for the
increased residence of the Clergy amid their
flock cannot fait to have a beneficial influence on
the habits and character of the people.
