blishment, by foreign force, of arbitrary power,
in the dominions of Spain. We can have no fear,
therefore; let the issue of the struggle be what
it may; that Spain Will not come out of it in the
secure and permanent,enjoyment of her national
independence, and of the blessings of a just and
rational freed Om.,

In our preceding columns we have given some
extracts from the French Papers, but there is
nothing of a later date than the intelligence which
our Express enabled us to lay before our Read-
ers yesterday; The news of the Journal des
Debuts, from Port St. Mary, is of the 7th. That
which we received yesterday from the seine
4Qarter was of the Bth.
If the " Protest" of the Matlild Regency be
authentic, supported as it is by the Declarations
of the Royalist Armies of Navarre,-:of Old Cas-
tile, and of Leon, it would appear that the
mis
understanding between the French and their
Spanish Allies amounts almost to open hostility.
The Declarations of the Royalist corps are be-
lieved to be authentic; but we. dmibt whether
the Regency has gone so fur as to express 'the
sentiments contained in the Protest which is at-
tributed to it.

LORD COCURANE AND THE_ BRAZIL! ANSei—g7C-
'tract of a letter received in this town from an officer in the
Navy, dated Bahia, 3d of August, 1823 :—" On our way from
'Rio here, we fell in with Lord Cochrane' squadron, the Don
Pedro, 80 guns, Maria de Gloria frigate, and ten smaller, ves-
sels, principally manned with British seamen. Upon our an-
choring here, we found the Portuguese had embarked to a than;
and expected from their force andaimbei, (the whole consist-
ing of 90 sail, including merchant ships, and about 5,000 troops)
that they might hid defiance to Lord Cochrane's squadron, bu
in which they were deceived, as his Lordship had already taken,
and; sent in, 30 vessels and about 1,200 troops, and was deter-
mined to follow the remainder to the mouth of the Tagus,
should he not previously capture the line-of-battle ships and
frigates. On the squadron leaving liable, the Imperial flag
was immediately hoisted, under hearty cheers ;- all the gulp
being disabled, prevented their firing a salute t -this, however,
took place two days after; and our own respectable British
force, viz.: Creole, Doris, Briton, and Tartar frigates, also sa-
luted the new flag,.which gave the greatest satisfaction to the
Braid' ians."—(ilyntouth Journal.)

ENGLAND AND COLOMDIA.--The following
vague sculation aears in a letter from Kingston (Jamaica),
dated July pp
29, and received at Charleston :—" The Colombian
schooner of Masseur, Lieutenant Picot, arrived at Port Royal
on Thursday morning, in four days from Carthagena, having
dispatches on board for Comm. Sir E. Owen. It was reported
some months ago, that the Spanish Government had, with
Porto Rico, ceded Porto Cabello and the Isthmus of Darien,
belonging to the Colombian Republic, to England, and that
Commodore Owen was to take possession of those places.. It
was also reported, and perhaps truly, that Captain Cochran of
the British Navy, had proceeded to Bogota, tile seat of the eCo-
lombian Government, which induces us to suppose that the dis-
patches above spoken of may communicate the reply of the
Republicans to the propositions conveyed by England through
Captain Cochrane. England will no doubt endeavour to make
good terms for herself as the conditions
her recognition but
Colombia is, we trust, too wise, as well as too just, to grant
exclusive privileges to any Mition."

Mr. ROTHSCHILD left, town yesterday _after-
noon for Calais, wheie he will wait a Telegraphic
Dispatch from Paris, with an f
I accou
thent
ispatch
of the
health of the Baron his brother. D
is not favourable, he will proceed immediately to
Paris.
Yesterday:Sir HERBERT TANn AYLOR held a L

Office in the Horse Guards.
The Officers of the 39th Regiment have pre,
seated to their late Surgeon, Mr. WALKER, on
his removal to the 3d Light Dragoons, a hand-
some piece of Plate, as a token of their esteem.
Last night, as a gentleman was driving a gig
along Oxford-street, the horse took fright near
Duke street, and set off at wonderful -speed ;
the gentleman was unfortunately thrown out,
and shocking to relate, one of his les was drea-
fully fractured ; he was carried insgtantly to the
Hospital.

(From a New York Papir.)
It will be recollected that Commodore Porter
sent into the Havannah, for trial, the Pirates who
survived the slaughter of their comrades by Lieu-
tenant Watson. The letter from Commodore
Porter, accompadying them, has been published,
and the following is the, reply of the Captain-
General.:—
Office of the Captain-General of the Island of Cuba.
I acknowledge the receipt of your official letter Of the 14th of
the present month, transmitted by the schooner Ferret, with
five individuals under the character of pirates. These men
were immediately put under the disposal of the judiciary
authority, in order that they might be judged in a manner ac-
cordant to our laws ; and the Judge who was especially charged
with the duty, .has directed to me the following official state-
ment of the result of his examinations :
" Most Excellent Sir - The Commander of the American
schooner of war called the Ferret, 31r. Thomas M. Newell,
being examined, likewise the mariners whom he presented be-
fore me, and those whom he brought here as prisoners by order
'of Commodore D. Porter, of 'whom three were, by the disposi-
tion of your Excellency, committed to.the jail, and two to the
hospital of St. Ambrosio, characterized as pirates—an appear-
ance has not resulted that they had an actual participation
in the invasion% and robberies ; they being brought to their
condition by compulsion.. But as I have information that
those who escaped are now apprehended and carried to
Matanzas, where a process will be instituted against them,
and where the most sure means will be adopted for discovering
the plain truth I have considered it expedient to send these
prisoners to Matanzas, hoping that your Excellency will be
pleased to facilitate their transportation with the necedsary pr.o-
- affording to the disposition of the Judge of that district
the means .of, determining with clear understanding what has
been done, and what is now actually doing."
This copy is forwarded to you for your information and sails:
faction. I repeat to you my considerations, and pray to God
that he may preserve you many years.

The following article respecting an 'attack upon the pirates
by a part of the American squadron is liken from the Jamaica
Courant, of the 30th of July :
The United States' schooners of war Greyhound and Beagle,
of three guns each,' Lieutenants-Commandants Keitiney and
Newton, came to anchor at Port Royal on Saturday after-
noon. They left Thompson's Island seven weeks ago, and
hive been cruising within the Keys on the south side of
Cnbai as far as Cape Cruz, touching at all the intermediate
ports on the island, to intercept pirates. On the 31st in-
stant they came to anchor off Cape Cruz, and Lieutenant
Conimodore Kearney went in his boat to reconnoitre the shore,
when he wag fired on by a party of pirates who were concealed
among the bushes. A fire was also opened from several pieces
of cannon, erected on a hill a short distance off. The boat re-
turned, and five or sik others were manned from the vessels and
pushed off for the shore, but a very heavy cannonade being kept
up by the pirates on the heights as well as from the beach, the
boats were compelled to retreat. The two schooners were
then Warped in, When they discharged several broadsidesand
covered the landing of the boats. After a short time the pirates
retreated to a hill that was well fortified. A small hamlet in
which the pirates resided was set fire to, and destroyed. Three
guns, one a 4-pounder, and two large swivels, with several
pistols, cutlasses, &c., and eight large boats were captured.
A cave, abouvlso feet deep, was discovered near where the
houses wete, and, after considerable difficulty, a party of sea-
men got to the bottom, where was found an immense quantity of
plunder, consisting of broadcloths, dry goods, female dresses,
&c. Many human bodies were also in the cave, supposed to
have been unfortunate persons who were taken and put to death.
A great deal of the articles were brought away and the rest
destroyed. About 49 pirates escaped to the heights, but many
were supposed to have been killed by the fire of the schooners,
as well as from the men who landed. The bushes were so thick
that it was impossible to go after them. Several other caves
are in the neighbourhood, in which it is conjectured they oc-
casionally take shelter. Prom their houses being burnt, and
their boats taken away, it is hoped they, will be obliged to re-
tire from this place, as they will be without the meant of an•
noying vessels passing by.

PARIS GOSSIP.--A considerable number ofl
anecdotes are said to be current in Paris on the I
KING'S late visit to the Exhibition. His Majesty
every where lavished his Saiiles and his appro-
bation,, as if to console the manufacturers by
his Royal -graciousness for -"the want of 'a
market for the articles which lie affected
to admire. All the contributors who were
in' town, paid, of course, that mark of respect
to their Sovereign as to be present to receive
him before the specimens of their fabric. His Ma-
jesty addressed some civil question or said some
flattering thing to the most eminent among them,
who were generally Introduced to him by some
member of the Jury, by the Minister of the In-
terior, or the Director of the Museum. Even the
Liberals shared on this occasion his condescend-
ing regard. With M. Teraaux his Majesty con-
versed for some time, on his importation of the
Thibet goat, the state of his flock, and the suc-
cess of his manufactures. A lady was in the
Exhibition to meet his Majesty, with whose
presence he seemed more flattered than with
the whole of French industry. It was Madame
la Comtesse du Cayla, to whom his 'Majesty
lately made a preient of a royal chateau. The
Countess was accompanied with her daughter.--
Ills Majesty, on coming to the saloon in which
Were the finest specimens of artificial flowers,
took the most elegant he could find, and pre-
sented it to Mademoiselle du Coyle. Of course
it would be paid for. The latter fact was-men-
tioned in the MinisteriatPapers, but the name of
the young damsel so honoured was not giien.—=

THE THAMES AND THEMEDWAY.---In con-
sequence of the directions given by the Right lion. the LOUD
MAYOII, as Conservator of the River Thames and Waters of
Medway, Mr. Nelson, Deputy to the Water Bailiff of the City
of London, in the absence of that most respectable officer, occa-
sioned
by indisposition, proceeded, accompanied by the City
Solicitor, Mr. James Mountayne, and other Officers, with
proper Assistants to remove the obstruction which for a consi-
derable time past had prevented the junction at the two Rivers
in and through Yantlet Creek. ' By the arratgrements that
were made, the obstruction to the free passage of the waters be-
tween Stoke and Grain, which had no long existed, was com-
pletely removed in the space of twenty-four hours, whereby the
tides f'rom. the respective Rivers were enabled to meet on
Thursday last, at 2a minutes before eleven, and a peter-boat,
which had entered at the Yantict end of the Creek, went
through the opening, with nine persons on board, precisely at
half-past eleven o'clock. She was followed by the Water
Bailiff's skiff, and a four-oared boat belonging to Capt. Brown,
the Master Attendant of Woolwich Yard. And yesterday the
Officers were employed in making the free communications, so
essential to the interests of the public, between the Thames and
Medway, whereby the circuitous and frequently dangerOus
course round the Nore, for small craft, will be avoideol and
many vsduable lives saved to their families and friends as well
as a pest facility for the .hetter supply of fish to the 'London
Alarkets.

This morning, about half.past seven o'clock,
a female, very genteelly dressed, was seen by
some persons on Westminster Bridge, walking
down the steps on the Lambeth side, and, when
at the bottom, she plunged into the water. Many
persons who saw the 'act ran to her assistance,
and one man got into a wherry, and luckily
pulled her into it, after twice going under water.
She was carried a-shore, and, after she had re-
covered, stated that her name was Charlotte
Edgcumb, and lived with,her friends in Archer-
court, Barbican. She refused to give any reason
for attempting thus to destroy herself. The poor
creature WttS carried home in a coachsseveral
persons attending her thither,
