THE ROIIDERIr AT LORD CoweEit;s.---We yes.
terday stated that four men were in custody ou
suspicion of being concerned in the robbery of
Mr. HAMLIN Lord Cnwrett's Steward. They
were taken down to Hertford on Thursday night,
and lodged in separate cells in the county gaol
there. The prisoners on their journey were ex-
tremely merry, and indulged in all sorts of flash
(as it is called) jokes. Yesterday morning, at
9 o'clock, an examination took place ut the gaol,
before the Rev. Mr. Lloyd, the Magistrate. They
were brought in separately ; and Mr. Haines, a
shepherd, and another man, who were engaged in
the scuffle which took place outside of the house
after the robbery, were present. The moment
James Harris, alias Long Ned, and James Davis,
alias James Thomas, entered- the room, Mr.
Harris declared that Long Ned was the man with
whom he scuffled in the room, and who, when
he (Mr. Ilaines) was overpowered, tied his hands
and threw him upon the ground. The shel•herd
and the other man also said they had no don's
that Davis was one of the men with whom they
fought. When Long Ned entered the room, he
had his hands in his breeches pockets ; and this,
being observed by Bishop, he gave a hint
to Mr. Lloyd, and that Magistrate desired
him to take his hands out. He did so, but
at the same moment thrust his wounded hand
into his hat. Mr. Lloyd told him it was of
no use to conceal the hand, for his object in
doing so was well known. All the prisoners de-
clared that they were innocent of the crime with

Extracts from the Morning Papers•, July 3.

[BRITISH E3S:je
The Careens Papers received yesterday give a
melancholy representation of the state of Peru.
They complain that a " veil of mystery" has
been thrown over the proceedings of the libe-
rator, Bolivar, in that country, and ascribe the
silence of the Bogota Papers to the disastrous re-
sults that have followed the military exertions of
the Peruvians throughout the campaign. The
Colornbiano, a well-written Journal, published at
Caraccas in the English and Spanish languages,
asserts from information derived from its own
sources, " that the Peruvians have been uni-
formly unsuccessful ; that the army of Santa
Cruz has been utterly destroyed ; that Canterac
is in undisputed possession of Upper Peru, with
augmented and well-disciplined forces ; and that
the sole hope of Peru now rests on the troops and
resources of Colombia." The editor then raises
the question, whether it is advisable for Colom-
bia to continue the war in Peru, not as auxiliaries
but as principals. He fears that in the exhausted
state of the Republic this would be too great
an effort. It was the work of fourteen years of
continued bloodshed and suffering to liberate
Colombia. Who, then, he asks, will venture to
fix bounds to a contest in a foreign country, se-
parated from us by natural barriers, and deficient
in moral energy ? and he argues, that as Co-
lombia neither can nor ought to be the sole in-
strument of liberating Peru, the Colombians
endanger their own security by attempting to
become so, and retard the developement and
prosperity of their own institutions. If the Pe-
ruvians, as this writer states, be indifferent to
their liberty and independence—if their troops
have " fled the enemy with the timidity of their
native lama," we must conclude with him, that
icwould be the height of impolicy to prolong a
distant and expensive war, for the sake of a
people so unworthy of the blessings of freedom.
That Colombia would be in danger if the Spa-
niards were suffered to remain in Peru, is satis-
factorily disproved ; and that seems to be the
only plausible argument for an active participa-
tion in the Peruvian war.

[mottNimo HERALD.]
The recognition of South American Indepen•
deuce, so far as the petitioning for it is concern-
ed, appears to !lava met with its death-blow at
Leeds, the third town to which the petition•

mongers had proceeded. This shows the good
sense of the Leeds people; they know that com-
merce wants no protection ; they know that trade
best protects itself. " Let us alone," said the
French merchants to Colbert, who wanted to
know what he could do for them. So we say to
the merchants of England, Let the Ministers
alone in this South American recognition rifles-
tion. Do nothing.—The Ministers know the
people they have to deal with on the Continent ;
the drawers up of Petitions do not. The 'Mi-
nisters know how vulnerable we are in Ire-
land, the \Vest Indies, Hanover, Belgium)
the Cape of Good Hope, Canada, the East
Indies. The Ministers are aware, that if they
begin to interfere with Spain and Portugal's
Colonies in South America, the Holy Alliance
may interfere with Hanover and so forth. In all
probability it was this question that caused the
Ministers to close the Parliamentary doors so
suddenly, for fear they should be forced to say
more upon it than they wished ; but the peti-
tionmongers cannot or will not see the compara-
tive situation in which England is placed. Some
argue, that because the United States have ac-
knowledged the independence of these countries,
we should ; but there is no analogy in the two
cases. The United States have no East and West
Indies, no Hanover, or any thing to fear, in re-
spect to foreign possessions of any description.
If they had, the United States would act
differently, for there is not a meaner Govern-
ment in the world. We should remember
therigrmtrole addressed to Mr. Luriottis, one

of the Greek Deputies, when he upplied,in the

name of the:Greek Patriots, to the United States,
for even a little countenance to their endeavours
at becoming • independent' of the , Turks. And
why, was this ? The - United States' President
would nitturally say, in considering such applica-
tion, if we side with the Greeks we shall have,
the Turks against us ;• and the loss of trade to
Constantinople and Smyrna, would be to us in.
finitely greater than the gain, on the other hand,
would he of • the Greek islands all put together.
In this South American question, we are decid-
edly of opinion, that the Ministers should not
suffer themselves to be goaded on by the people,
in the way our ancestorial :lovers of Usurious
Loans goaded on George the Third. lf,in conse-
quence of George the Fourth suffering"himself to
ber goaded on -by these petitionmongers, he

knowledgement of the Independence of the
