LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1824.

IMPORTANT.

We are assured that liis MAJESTY'S Speech,

°ri the opening of Parliament, will contain a

FULL RECOGNITION OF THE INDEPENDENCE or THE

8011TH AMERICAN STATES. This is a policy

which we have latterly recommended on special

&rounds ; and we are most sincerely rejoiced to

!earn that we have only been participating in the

views mid sentiments of Government on the sub-

feet. We are further assured that the last dis-

Patches from St. Pete rsburgh are perfectly pacific,

and that our own Cabinet has the best reasons

for being completely satisfied as to the views and

conduct of Russia. It is even confidently expected

that Russia and France wal adopt the same policy

as this country towards South America, and that

the recognition of the New States by England

kill immediately be followed by a similar

kCt ou the part of those Powers. Indeed,

it i, understood that assurances have already been

"changed between the three Governments to that

"Erect. This will indeed be a proud triumph for

the
firmness and consistency by which the coun-
"s of this country have been distinguished
throughout the difficult and threatening period
of the last eighteen months. We are particularly
happY in being enabled to give these assurances,
at the present moment, as we understand a
Powerful but unauthorized attempt will be made,
through °" of the Evening Papers to-night, to
reate an unfounded alarm which might have
411 unfavourable influence in the city.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
At a late hour this forenoon we received by
"Press the Etoile of yesterday, from which the
f
°flowing are extracts :

[From the ituils of yesterday.]
bilis Majesty Ferdinand VII. has sent to
(,ince Carignan, for his services, the Grand
`°llar of the Order of the 'Poison d'Or.
Manatu, JAN. 17.—The King has appointed,
43 second in command. Commandant-General of
Andalusia, the Marshal-de-Camp John Downie,
consideration of his great services ; and his
t‘tlejesty has entrusted the command of Ciudad
i
"rigo to Marshal-de-Camp Don Philipe de
Treiles.
The King has issued a Decree concerning the
e4pability of the military. It is composed of
several chapters, each divided into a great num-
ter of articles. The first is composed of an Es-
l'l,.illislitnent-general of the Administration and
''!llitites of War, which will operate under the
0i'.14 of the Minister of Finance. The evil spirit
tn the dissatisfied is continuing to operate daily
the projects of the Government, of which
ere is no foundation. They report at Madrid

of a Decree of the King, which condemns for 30
years to the .galleys all the ancient Alcades
(Constitutional). This report is spread about by
the enemies of the.throne.` They also state, that
the Militia are threatened with perpetual impri-
sonment, and new rigours are preparing for all
those who have manifested their attachment to
the ancient system, but the Government does

not require to put iu force at present these new

acts of spverit y.

(Frain calignani's Messenger of the 26th.)

Lieut.-General Guillerninot is seriously indis

posed.

The following is from the Belgic Journal:--
" If a rumour afloat in the Northern Provinces,
particularly at Amsterdam, way be depended
upon, it is in contemplation that Prince Frederick
should go to Batavia, to reside there in quality of
Viceroy, over the Belgian provinces in the East
Indies."

In our preceding columns we have given
copious extracts from the Foreign Journals re-
ceived last night. The King of SPAIN, instead
of an amnesty, has issued a decree for the forma-
tion of Courts-martial in all the Provinces for
the trial of persons accused of military offences !
We some time since intimated to our Readers that
an important measure in favour of the Greeks
was on the lapis. It is now said that the
Continental Alliance will recognize ther inde-
pendence on the condition that Greece shall re-
ceive a Sovereign of their nomination. England
cannot, of course, be a party to any arrangement
of this kind ; but the proposition furnishes her
with an additional motive for acknowledging the
independence of Greece, and that, too, before
the completion of a projet on the part of the
Continental Powers, which would weaken her ,
future influence with the new Greek Empire.

By the schooner Sally, arrived from Jamaioa
and klavannah, we have files of Kingston Papers
to the 18th November.

The Bill to repeal the Registry Act was brought into the
House of Assembly on the 13th, and met with nearly an unani-
mous support. General D'Evereux and his suite sailed for
Carthagena, for Europe, on the 9th October, in the British
sloop of war Scout. Commodore Sir Edward Owen was about
to return to England from his command on the Jamaica sta-
tion ; and public meetings were to be held, to express the fa-
vourable opinion entertained by the inhabitants of his official
conduct.—Letters from Tampico, of 29th October, received at
New Orleans, state, that the fever was raging with greater
violence than ever known.

CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consuls opened this
morning at 911 i, with a good deal doing ; then
soon after they fell to 91f, but rose again to 911,
and for Money 914. The Expresses from
Paris have brought the R.entes at 95f. 35c. at
three o'clock, but afterwards left off at 95. 40.
to 50. The price of Spanish Bonds is not quoted,
by which it is supposed they remain the same as
on Saturday 241. We have no reports this morn-
ing in the city.

FOREIGN MARKET.-r-Spunish Bonds, opened
this morning at 25, but afterwards dropped to
24-fi-, with little doing.

It has been some time hinted that the Minis-
ter intended to reduce the interest on Exchequer
Bills to lid. per day ; and it is now certain,
from the premium these bills bear, he will be
able to accomplish his object, and this alone will
produce a saving of 200,0001. and upwards in the
annual expenditure. But it is now rumoured,
that he intends to carry this operation still fur-
ther, and to effect a reduction of the Old 4 per
Cent. Annuities, and of the 31 per Cent. Annui-
ties, by the same means, which will produce a fur-
ther considerable saving. It is evident some ad-
vantage must be given to the holders of 31 per
Cent. Annuities, and a still larger bonus to the
holders of the Old 4 per Cents.; but, even allow-
ing for that, the saving to the public will not be
less than per Cent. on the amount of the Stocks
so transferred. This will be the least advantage
to the Public. The holder of these Stocks will
find his 1001. fully secured to him, which in the
old stocks, on a war or a rumour of war,
might suffer a very considerable depreciation. In
fact these bills are almost equally negotiable
with Bank-notes,and the owner has the advantage
of receiving his interest of lid. per day to the
very day he sells them.

In our preceding columns we have given an
interesting report of the proceedings yesterday
at the annual dinner of the Ship Owner's So.
ciety. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, the President
of the Society, who entered the room ac-
companied by Mr. Secretary CANNING, and
other distinguished characters, took the Chair.
The Noble CIIAIRMAN pronounced a just eulogy
on the importance of the shipping interest to the
prosperity and security of the Empire, and ex-
pressed his satisfaction at the gratifying fact
that it is at length emerging from the difficulties
with which, in common with the other interests

of the state, it had struggled after the conclusion
of the war. Mr. CANNING. made an eloquent
speech, to which we regret that our limits prevent
us from doing justice, but which, from the brief
report we are enabled to give of it, will be seen
to have been replete with British feeling, and to
have glowed with truly British sentiments and
spirit. Every enlightened man in the country
concurs with him in the proud declaration of the
renovated strength and power of the Empire,—
of the giant strides with which it is advancing in
prosperity,—and of its capacity, should that
prosperity be assailed or threatened from without,
to maintain its rights and its interests, its rank
and its station in Europe, and in the civilized
world, against whatever combination may be
brought against it.

THE GREEK LOAN.—The following regarding
the Greek Loan was posted yesterday :
" GREEK LOAN.
" TO THE SECRETARY OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
" Silt—Having seen a letter addressed to you, and signed
JOHN Bowßixu,' I think it a duty -1 owe the public to no-
tice it by informing them, that my appointment of General is
signed the 4th February, 1792, at appointment of General i
signed the 4th February, 1792, at Coblentz, by his present
Majesty the King of France, and in the year 1790 I was de-
corated with the Order of St. Stanislaus, by his Majesty the
King of Poland. At that time I was his actual Chamberlain
and Privy Councillor.
_

" Regarding the Loan in question, the authorities under
which I act are in the hands of the Contractors, and may be
seen on application to the Agent.
" I request that the same publicity may be given to this let-
ter as has been given to that of NIL Bowring.
" I have the honour to be, Sir,
" Your most obedient servant,
" General Count De WINTZ,
" R. Wade, Esq. " 9, King-street, Finsbury-square."

TEE KING.—BILIGHTON, JAN. 27.—Tile in-
quiries of Nobility, &c., at the Palace to-day, to learn the state
of the KING's health, have again been exceedingly numerous.
The answer to the present is—" His Majesty has had a more
favourable night, and is better to-day."

Yesterday at two o'clock a Cabinet Council
was held at the Foreign Office, by summons,
which was again attended by all the Cabinet
Ministers, who continued in deliberation till
about half-past five, with the exception of two
of the Ministers, who left at half-past four.
Monday evening Mr. PROUDIKAN, the King's
Messenger, left town from the Secretary of
State's Office for the Home Department, with
dispatches, for Hertford, respecting the fate of
Hunt.

Yesterday afternoon the Duke of Yoni, as
Commander-in-Chief, held a levee at his Office
in the Horse Guards.
Yesterday letters were received in London
from the Queen of WURTEMBEIte, addressed to
most of the Royal Family, Szc.
The Address will be moved in the House of
Commons, next Tuesday, by ROWLAND HILL,
Esq. one of the Members for the County of
Salop) and seconded by JAMES DALY, Esq. one
of the
Members for the County of Galway. It
is not yet settled, we understand, by whom it is
to he moved and seconded in the House of Peers.
Of the nature of the Royal Speech nothing of
course can bp permitted to transpire till it has
been submitted to his MAJESTY in Council.

_ _
' Extract from a letter, .dated Antigun, 7th De-
cember, 1823:—" We have just received ac-
counts from Demerara, of the execution of the
Iftev. Mr. Smith, a member of the London Mis-
sionary Society, who has been hanged, upon the
fullest proof, for exciting the late rebellion in
that colony. The Poor deluded negroes, who
have paid the forfeit
casion, uniformly at the
of their lives upon this oc.
gallows declared with
their last breath, that it was by his preaching
and excitement that
( Morning Herald.) they were led to revolt.—

WArtrrznußGtt, JAN• 15.—According to recent
accounts, the number of persons arrested as making part of
the band of robbers lately discovered has become so numerous,
that the prisons of Amberg and Zulsbach are not sufficient to
lodge them separately. Ateasures have therefore been taken
to fit up 15 chambers in the Castle of Rotenburgh, to receive
the same number of prisoners, who will be removed from Am-
berg. More members of this band are arrested daily.
A letter from Paris of a recent date contains
the following paragraph The brother of
raised to.
Madame Du Cayht is about to be raised
the peerage, and to marry into an ancient family
of the high noblesse. This favourite of an
illustrious personage has taken advantage of the
high favour with which she has been honoured,
bath to raise her family and to amass a large fortune.
She had received in a present the chateau of St.
Ouen, the fitting up of which cost the civil list

two millions of francs. She re-sold it to the do-
nor for 1,500,000 of francs ; and this sum she
shared with her brother. After this, the il-
lustrious donor conferred upon his favourite
possession for life of the property which he first
gave and afterwards re-purchased. Happy the age
which thus sees the restoration of legitimate
monarchies, the power of the Jesuits, and the
gallantries of the Court of Louis XV."
We have reason to believe that the information
which we communicated a few days ago, on re-
spectable authority, of Mr. Ca.oxErt's appoint-
ment to be Governor of Bombay, was erroneous.
(Morning Chronicle.)
To-morrow the LORD MAYOR will hold a
Common Council at Guildhall.

It is again confidently reported that the Bank
Charter is about to be renewed, and that the rate

of interest on discounts will be reduced to three
per cent. The interest of money lent on mort-
gage by the Bank Ai ill also be reduced in the
same ratio.—(Morning Paper.)
A disagreeable understanding is said to have
occurred between the principal Manager of one
of the theatres royal and a dramatic writer, on
the subject of a long-expected tragedy, which is
likely to produce a very interesting and curious
statement both to the theatrical and literary
world.

HUNT.—An order has been sent from the
Home Department to Hertford Gaol, for the re-
moval of Hunt forthwith to the Justitia hulk, at
Woolwich preparatory to his transportation for

. .
life, to New South Wales, on board a convict
ship which will sail, about six weeks hence, from
the river for that destination.
