The Anthony Sterry, from the South Seas, was on shore on
the Shivering Sand yesterday, and half full of water.

The Marquis of WELLEsixy has written to
the Secretary of State that his expectations re-
specting restoring tranquillity in Ireland hate
been disappointed ; and that he finds the
system of outrage has been almost completely
organized. Ile concludes by expressing his con-
viction that the wisdom of his Majesty's Govern.
ment and of Parliament, will not delay the 14..
newal of the Insurrection Act. 'Want of room
prevents us from giving the official document tlii,

Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council
was held at the Foreign Office, which was at-
tended by the Earl of 11ARROWHY, the Duke of
WELLINGTON, the CHANCELLOR of the EX-
CHEQUER, Mr. WYNN, Mr. PEEL, Mr. CANNING,
&c. The Cabinet broke up soon after four o'clock
Ills MAJESTY'S Levee on Monday was one of
the most numerous and splendidly attended since the Kmu'i
Accession to the Throne. There were about one thousand thrt-P
hundred counted by persons appointed for that purpose, and 1.44
doubt numbers entered the Palace who were not observed hi
them.

Monday evening Prince Lephoid visited the Duke gird
Duchess of Clarence.

YesterdayChi;Diiehess of Gloucester and the Princessncess
phis visited the Duke of York.
'MelDuchess of Gloucester visited the Duke and Duchess
of Clarence yesterday.
MgßcANDurri.—As it was doubtful whether
this Lady had really entered into the Hymeneal
bands, we feel pleasure in stating that a letter
has been received from Mr. GRANT, the Minister
of Banff, who performed the ceremony. The
worthy Minister contradicts the report, inserted
in a Morning Paper, that he had received a hun-
dred guineas " for his trouble," declaring that
he " neither received nor expected fee or re
ward," and adding, " I am otherwise paid for
doing my duty. I never consider that duty as a
trouble, and am always and equally ready to do
it at the call of the Peer or the Peasant." This
is a modest and manly avowal suitable to the
sacerdotal character.

Yesterday an Inquisition was held tit the De-
vonshire Arms, Devonshire-street, Lisson Green, on the body
of Elizabeth Cavil, an infant, eight months old, who died sud-
denly on Sunday last. It appeared from the evidence of Mrs.
Baldwin, who nursed the deceased, that on Saturday evening the
child's father came to her house, and on his leaving, said he
should call on Smutty morning and. ive the child an airing ; the
infant then, appeared perfectly well. Witness did
.not to
bed until two o'clock in the morning, and at that time had
taken the child out and suckled it ; she then retired to rest, and
on waking at five, observed one side of the child's face blaek,
which so alarmed her that she instantly took it up, called to her
landlady, and rendered the deceased- every possible assistance
%bailout effi!et. She was positive the child had not been ovry
having placed it at the further part of the. bed from her.
Another witness fully confirmed the above testimony, adding,
that Mrs. Baldwin paid the greatest attention to the influn while
it Wad been under her care. The Jury being perfectly satisfied,
returned their verdict.—" Died by the Visitation of God."

Extracts from the Morning Papers April 23.

[MORNING POST.]
Several additional State Papers relative to
France, Spain, and Portugal, were laid before
both Houses of Parliament last night. We have
not room at present to enter into any detailed
observations respecting them ; and must there-
fore content ourselves with remarking, that they,
as well as those before published, afford unques-
tionable proof of the sincere endeavours of the
British Government to avert the interference of
France in the affairs of Spain and Portugal. The
.first document (a confidential Minuth of the late
Lord Castlereagh on the affairs of Spain), con•
tains the deliberate opinion of the Duke of Wel-
lington on the effect of foreign interference on
the Spanish Nation, and the obstinate resistance
that would inevitably be, excited by any such
attempt ; and all the others are likewise entitled
to setlous attention. But the most important
of all, is the Memorandum of the Spanish Am-
bassador, M. de Jabat, relative to the truly
honourable conduct of Spain, and' which forms so
striking a contrast to the perfidious proceedings
of the French Government. It furnishes the
most decisive refutation of. all the allegations so
basely and so falsely urged by the unprincipled
enemies of national independence and freedom.
Not only did tile Spanish Government refuse
military assistance to the Junta of Oporto and
the Government of Naples, whilst the self-named
Regency were organizing " Bands of the Faith"
at Bayonne and Perpignan, hut they actually
declined " the service of three regiments of the
(French) Army of Observation ! After the pe-
rusal of this Note (to ‘vhieh e beg leave to call
the attention of our renders,) it were impossible
to doubt that the aggression of France was abso-
lutely unprovoked by any, one net of the Consti-
tutional Government of Spain ; whilst ilte whole
of the Alocuments will he fn,und to vindicate still
farther the conduct of the British Ministers on
this most interesting and important oecasion.

[MORNING CIIRONICI.E.]
The news of the capture of a Spanish vessel,
It with treasure, insured in this country, by a
French ship of war in the West 11-idles, which
must have received its orders prior to the 6th of
_
February, produced yesterday the greatest sen-
sation in the City. Even so late as the 6th of
March, Sir Charles Stuart states, that ", M. (IV
Villefe and M. Chateaubriand express their
hopes of averting a war with a degree of confi-
dence, which induced me to observe to the latter
Alinister, that the insisting. upon a direct neg.°.
dation between the Duke d'Angouleme and a
Spanish Prince may be a great obstacle to success.
His Excellency answered, that although this mode
of settling the gnestion had been strongly urged, he
could assure me the objects of the negociation are
too important not to be sought for by the concession,
if necessary, of this or of any other mere point of
form ; and that if the Spanish Government will
empower any negotiator to treat, after a change
of Ministers at Madrid, he shall be able to look
forward with confidence to the continuation of
peace." The capture of the Spanish vessel
places beyond a doubt the perfidy and falsehood
of M. de Chnteaubriand, who was here amusing
our Ambassador with an assurance of what he
knew could* not possibly take place. We say
nothing of the insult to the country ; for this is
now a matter of course.

LN EW TIMES.
Consols improved yesterday one half per cent.
which may perhaps be attributed to the scarcity
of Money Stock ; money continuing abundant,
and the investments in the British Funds conse-
quently producing au advance. Consols opened
at 76111; closed At 76:f. Spanish Bonds have
again fluctuated considerably, having been done
at 321 and 33-1, ; and the last price being 3G2i.
It is no wonder that these Securities vary so
much according to the,fluctuating fears and hopes
of the holders ; for there can be no certain cal-
culation on their worth. The,best chance of im-
provement in their value depends on the esta-
blishment of a moderate Government in Spain,
an event which the unimpeded progress of the
French armies reuderslnore than probable. No
trace of the least opposition to the French in the
field has yet appeared in any of the accounts
from Spain.
