ROYAL VISIT TO GREENWICH:

Yesterday, at a quarter past twelve o'clock, tier
MAJESTY, accompanied by the Princesses Au-
,cusTA and MARY, left town, escorted by a party
of the 14th Light Dragoons,' for Greenwich, and
arrived at one o'clock. • On the entrance of the
Royal Visitors to the grounds of the Royal Naval
Asylum for the Orphans of Sailors and Marines,
the children of the establishment were drawn
out in proper order in the court-yard,-opposite to
the house of Captain Dacrms, the Governor, with
their new
_clothes, the boys amounting to 648,
aunt the girls to upwards of 200. On the arrival
a the Royal Visitors at the Governor's house,
they were received by his Royal Highness the
Duke of CLARENCE as Admiral of the. Meet, Vis-
count MELVILLik, the Right lion. GEORGE ROSE,
CROKER, Admirals Sir Joi3 tv BoikLAss
WARREN and 13LAenFoRn, Captain Daces, tare
Go''ernor, with -other Officers of the Institution.
They viewed the children at their dinner, and ap-
peared' highly gratified with' the regularity and
cleanliness with which every thing was conducted.
The Royal Party with .the distinguished Charae-.
tern, retired to the Governor's house, and par-
took of a sumptuous breakfast. After partaking
of thiS:refreshment, her MAJESTY and the Patti-
CEsses went .to Greenwich Hospital, where the
Duke of CLARENCE, ViSCOUIIt MELVILLE, &C. had
walked to •be in readiness to receive them. The
Veterans of the building were drawn out upon-
the occasion. They proceeded to view the build-
ing, &c. and appeared highly gratified, particular-
ly with the Chapel, for its architectural beauties.
Viscount Hoop, the Governor, being too much
indisposed_ to receive his Royal-Guests, the Dean
of Wmpsoit and others of the'Direttors were in
readiness to receive. them. Her MAJESTY left
theie at a quarter past three, and arrived at her
Palace at tour. At -a little before seven o'clock,
the QUEEN, Princesses AUGUSTA, MARY, and
SortirA of GLOUCESTER went in her MAJESTY'S
carriage to dine with the REGENT.

By further accounts received yesterday froth the
river Plate, we learn that ANTIGAS had followed
up his successes by taking possession of .Monte
Video, which the Buenos Ayres troops a short
time previous had abandisned. This Clrief had
caused all intercourse between the two cities to
be suspended ; but with respect to the British he
had done every thing in his power to cultiVate
their friendship. Monte Vidco.had been entirely
abandoned by the Independent party, and had
been taken
,possession of by ARTIGAS. - The
Spaniards were• in high spirits at Buenos. Ayres
,under the vain expectation of being supported by
the armament from Cadiz. RONDEALI,.. in imita-
tion of AUTIGAS, had thrown up all connection
with every party, and subsisted on plunder:
Letters of the 12th of May, from Cadiz, men-
tion the arrival at Vera Cruz from Xalappa, of
about 8 millions of• dollars tin• the use of the Go-
vernment, wtlich would be forwarded, home the
earliest opptimmity.
We learn by letters from Madrid of the 19th,
that the Duke D'ANGOULEME had left that city
for Catalonia, after remaining there about ten
days, and- received the • most marked attention
from the King and Government.
.A letter front the United States mentions, that
there are now in Georgia and Carolina, 180,000
bales of Cotton, and. on the Mississippi, 120,000
bales, the 'thole weighing about ninety millions
of pounds, which is twenty millions more than,
Great Britain has consumed in any one year.—

THEOFHILUS SWIFT, Esq.—This Gentleman,
who once made a considerable noise in this metro-
polis, died- on the 9th inst. at Limerick, in the
house of THOMAS NIAUNSELL Rosa, Escl. Mr.SwIPT
was of the same family as the celebrated Dean of
St. Patrick, and manifested his descent by talents
_as well as consanguinity. He was a scholar and
a man of taste, but somewhat peculiar and para-
doxical in his opinions. He displayed learning
and poetical•spirit, as well as vivid sensibility en
many occasions. The -circumstance that ren-
dered him an object of general notice, in the
English capital, was his publication of a pam-
phlet, in consequence of the duel which had
taken place between the Duke of YORK and
the present Duke of RICHMOND, then Colonel
LENNOX, in which Mr. SWIFT atiimadverted so
strongly on the conduct of the Colonel, that' be
received a challenge, anti was so severely wounded
that his life was in danger for sortie time. The
peculiarity of Mr. Swlrr's opinions was mani-
fested in a pamphlet which he published, intended
to prove the innocence of the man who was tried,
convicted, and punished, for stabbing many fe-
males, and who was at the time universally styled
THE MoNsTrza. Mr. Swirl*, in this .work
played great acuteness and ingenuity ; but We dO
no: that be gained one proselyte to !his
reasoning. He was generally respected and es-
( teemed in private life.

O for Some sprite to lead the ivy band,

• The lingering trace of war's d,formini hand!
Nature herself !lath banished from the land
Such signal—Here the trench no lOnger lours,
But like a bosky deli, bedecked with flowers
And garlanded With May, it seems to stand .
A very spot for yoUthful Poet's dreams
In the prime hour: GaistfAms mournful lay,
. The* " half-told° tale, would sound still sweeter here.
0 for sane sprite to hide with ivy spray
War's ravages, and chase all meaner themes
Of King and State, Roundhead and Cavalier !

S'UNO BY MR: BRo.UMURST.
(Tone.--" Rule Britannia.")

When :`attire, nrg'd by Heaten's command,"

• A Patriot true to Britain gave,
With care her awful work she piann'd,
And forni'd him Virtuous, wise, and brave :
To Britain's wed, the surest guide— ,
'Twas Ptrri his Country's prop and pride:

When wild liehellion raied her hefid
And France became her bleeding prey;
When the dread storm o'er Europe spread,

PITT stemzu'd the torrent on its way:
The threat'uing waves he dash'd aside,
His reseu'd Country's prop aria pride.

Ambition then, with countless force,
Made States obedient to his nod ;
And mad that Britain Check'd his course,
Iteserv'd for her th 2.!.vengin;.*, rod;
But PITT the Tyrant's rage defi'd—
Still, still, his Country's prop and pride.

At length to arms the nations fly,
The glorious cause uniting all,
Resolv'd t.) conquer er to die—
And soon was doom'd the Despot's fall
Ytt was the noble plan supply'tl - .
By PITT, his Country's prop and pride.
had he but surviv'd to know,. •

If then to chase his mortal date,
That. Europe triumpled o'er her foe,
A grateful smile had weledni'd fate. -
Yet his last breath for Britain siglid—
Such was our Country's prop and pride.

THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 2.—We had no fresh
arrivals this morning, but there was plenty lett
for the demand, -the sales, in general being ex-
.exceedingly dull ; the few sales effected in fine
Wheat were at the last quoted price ; Barley Was
nearly unsaleable,; Malt and Beans were also very
dull; indeed there was so tittle doing, the prices
of all kinds of Grain may be considered the same
as on Virednes‘luy:
S3/1111;'1ELD, .TUNE 2.—This day's Market had not a good
supply of the carious kinds of Cattle ; Beef, Veal, Pork; and
Lamb, supptfrted last prices ; Mutti;a MIS cheaper ; and the
trade, far the most part, was somewhat flat. The sales in the
Hay-market were rather dull ; Hay, Straw, and Clover, bla..
tam/led last prices.
