T tiP, Colombian° of the 23i1 of July, ft paper
published in CaraccaS, has the following remarks on the pro-
bable result to South America of the conquest of Spain by the
French troops. The most recent intelligence that received
from Cadiz had led the editor to conclude the cause of the Con-
stitution lost. He then observes—" We confess that we have
all along anticipated this denouement, and now only feel an in.
terest in it, as frught with important results to ourselves
France has unequivocally and frequently declared, that the
terms of her co-operation in aiding Spain to subdue us, are the
modification of her Constitution. The French Minister caused
this intimation to be conveyed to the Spanish Cabinet, and the
Duke of Angouleme echoed it in his proclamation to his army.
England has , as
,unequivocally declared that she will not suffer.
it, neither we imagine will North America. The moment of
making good those pledges is probably at hand, and we anti-
cipate more good than evil from its arrival. There are various
considerations, however, to restrain France from such a pro-
cedure. In the first place, her conquest over Spain is not
yet achieved : at the extremity of an enemy's country, 'and
cut off from her own by strong fortressee and enemies in her
rear, 'with want of provisions all around, many reverses may
yet await the French army, unless a strong naval force off
Cadiz.protects it: in the second place, the policy of the mea-
sure rather than the pledge she has given? will make her our.!
enemy, as the modification of the Spanish Constitution is now
the result of conquest rather than negoeiation : thirdly; 'some
little deference will be paid to the' positive and uncalled-for de-
claration already made by England to the French Cali.net, on
the Subject of an interference to South American affairs; but,
. above all, the fully, the weakness of aiding in a bankrupt cause,
will restrain France; since she must know, front the experience
of the last 13 years, that Colombia never will mibmit to foreign
Goverment while a man remains to defend her. It is impossi-
ble to conjecture the result of the present situation of Spain
with iegard to us; but it is unquestionable that a crisis is at
hand, which must terminate in a general reognition of the in-
dependent States of South Amenca, or in such a collision of
interests in Europe as will give us far inure powerful friends
than enemies."

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 27.---On Thursday Ms
Majesty's sloop Jasper, Capt. A. D. V. Arbuthnot, returned
from Cronstadt, whence she sailed on the Ist instant, and
landed at Dover, on Tuesday, Lord Douglass (eldest son of
the Earl of Home), attached to the Embassy of the Right Ho-
nourable Charles Ilagot, our Minister at St. Petersburgh, and
Mr. Betties, King's 'Messenger, both charged with dispatches
for Government. The Messenger's dispatches, we understand
are a confirmation that peace has been concluded between the
Turks and Persians. Tht event, we are assured, is of more
importance than appears at lirst sight to us, who are unac-
quainted with the incipient motions and dtiaigns of foreign
courts. The Persian Ambasaador, Mirze Mahomed Sauleb,
who went from this country to St. Petersburgh in the Jasper,
with the intention of returning to the capital of Persia, bad set
out, having succeeded in harmonizing; the differences between
the Courts of St. Petersburgh and Tebriz. We had the
means of stating in our paper of the lath instant, (by private
information), that the reception of Captain Arbuthnot, by the
Emperor of Russia, and all the authorities of his Government,
was as distinguished and flattering as could possibly be wished.
Captain Arbuthnot had the honour of dining with the Imperial
family several times during his month's stay, as well as with
the Empress mother, and visited her eleven charitable endow-
ments, at St. Petersburgh, and the monuments erected to the
memory of her late husband, the Emperor Paul. The Grand
Duke and Duchess Nicolai, the &rand Duke Michael, the
Duke de Wirtemburg, the Prince de Wirtemburg, with six-
teen Princes and Princesses of the Court were among the most
distinguished persons who honoured Captain Arbuthnot'a in-
vitations to partake of a dejeane a la jbarehette, on board the
Jasper. At the St. Peterburgh races, which Captain Arbuth.
not attended, all the horses except the Cossack race, were rode
by English jockeys. The Jasper had a tedious anti bolster-
, ouspassage down the Baltic, where the' Equinoxial gales had
set in early, and with considerable violence. Two live sables
have been landed from her ; these animals were never seen
alive In England before.—( HampAire Telegraph. )

tremely well appointed. Gen. BoLtvAtt, on his ar-
rival, was to take the command of the whole force.
On Thursday the KING honoured Mr. FHE•
MANTLE with a visit, at r""glefieltr-green, and
