Itters of Wallachia, of the 12th ultimo, had
1,--a(le his entry into Bucharest, preceded by
11.1°13out and the principal Boyards, who went
meet him at some distance from the city. This
Ntry
was:regarded by the liVallachians as a real
trio
: and the union thus formed, must be

(Prom the Philadelphia Paper of the 15th April.)
Scc We have been favouled with Papers from
ulacoa to 'the 17th March. The accounts from
Martha state, that Commodore Aury lately
(lied at Baranquilla. General La Cuta had also
died at St. Martha. The greatest tranquillity
Ngned at St. Martha and the other places in
P°ssession of the Columbian Government.
" CurtAcoA, MARCH 17.—There have been,
4everal arrivals from the Main—the following in-
-101-nation has been received :—We learn thayhe
Nriod of the armistice is proloned, what
but to

Deputies of General
lr
arrived at Curacoa, and were received
Ivttll great cordiality, and they will in ten days
not to Spain : the object of their embassy is
aelt yet ascertained, but it is presumed that the
is
i..:iowldgernent of the Columbian independence
le leading feature of their instructions."
(Prom the Gazette of Ilagota of the 7th January.)
DEPARTAIENT OP QUITO.
" 1 he Major Antonio informsinformsPresident
province dated' the Bth
ec., that the P •
of Cuenca has proclaimed

its independence of Spain, and appointed a
Supreme Junta ; that in consequence of the ap-
proach of the Expedition sent .by the Patriot
Junta to Guayaquil against Quito, the districts
of Ambato, QUararda, and Tucongeo, hate like-
wise declared themselves
_independent ; and that
from these districts 2000 men have enlisted in the
Army of the Liberator, and these combined
troops were within nine miles of the capital.
" We have received intelligence that the Pro-'
vince of Rio de la Hache has also united itself
.to the Republic of the whole Department of
Cundinaniarca; there is nothing left to Spain
but Carthagena and the Isthmus of Panama.
The Provinces enjoy already the fruits of in-
dependence."

SuGArt.—We notice, with very great regret,
the persevering efforts of Mr. ALEX.IND ER BARING,
liire RICARDO, and other individuals, to generalize
and destroy all those distinctions and restrictions
which have been hitherto considered as essentially
necessary for the encouragement of the Home and
Colonial interests. Their opposition to the small
additional duty on East India Sugars, which itr
absolutely necessary for the protection and sup-
port of the British West India Colonists, is as in-
defensible and anti-national as their constant op-
position to the British Shipping and North Ame-
rican Interests, and their support of a free trade
in foreign bottoms. If this remnant of The She!-
borne Party should ultimately succeed in their
views, and the old policy of the country is sacri-
ficed to their speculative notions in political eco-
nomy, the Agricultural interests must not expect
that the restrictions in favour of British produce will
be-continued—but that the trade will be thrown
open, and foreign whets and all other produce
and merchandize allowed to be imported in fo-
reign ships on equal terms with British shipping.
To satisfy oar Country readers that we are not
amusing them with idle rumours on this subject,
we can assure them, that even some of the repre-
sentatives of the Landed Interests are a little
tainted with the notions of the new school, and
we know that a young Metuber for a Northern
County' candidly declared to some of his consti-
tuents, that he was a warm advocate for a free
trade in ships of all countries, and that he was as
ready to vote, whenever it was proposed, for a
Repeal of the Restrictions in favour of British
Corn, as he was determined to vote for the Re-
duction of the Duties on Foreign Timber.

It' is said, that in the course of the present
summer the- KING will, in person, open the, new
line of streets leading from the Palace of Carlton
House to the Regent's Park.
All the principal Officers of the Herald's Col-

lege, who are to officiate at the Coronation, have
superb mantles preparing, which they are to
wear when that splendid ceremony takes place.
Yesterday morning Prince LEOPOLD left town
for Claremont.—The Duchess of CLARENCE and
Prince ERNEST HOWENLOH LANGENBOURG dined
with the Duchess of KENT at her apartments in
the King's Palace, at Kensington yesterday.—
Yesterday the Duke of CLARENCE dined with
Sir'CHARLES POLE.

His MAJESTY, who is always munificently
active in the encouragement, of talents and sup-
port of benevolence, has extended his gracious
patronage to the three orphan sisters of the late
Mr. BA RTLEMAN, a man whose loss in the musi-
cal world is at• present irreparable to the public,
as well as to those amiable ladies, who have been
deprived of their affectionate brother and liberal
protector.

Yesterday, the Bank of England commenced
paying in specie to the public, in pursuance of the
Act just passed. The town Bankers were all
supplied with gold in lieu of notes under five
pounds ; and it is, we understand, impossible
now to get a one.pound note. In order to pre-
vent any forged notes being taken by the country
Bankers, the Bank Directors have sent Investi-
gators to various parts of the kingdom.
The Marquess of WoncEsma was one day
reading us a lecture of patience in adversity.
Among the rest of those witty sayings which
came from him, he told us that there was nothing
so bad but was good for something ; " For,"
said he, " if there were no silence, there could
be no musick ; for the suddain stops that are in
musick adde to the grace and perfection of the
arte : ignorance is a spur to knowledge ; dark-
ness is a pavilion to the Almighty, a cabbin or
drawn chamber for us to sleep in, a dungeon for
the Judge to punish his delinquents, and a foile
for the painter to make his shadowes ; so are
afflictions good for our instruction, and adversi-
ties for our amendment."

SCARLET FEVER.—It is announced in the Jour-
nal de Medicine Pratique of Berlin, that the Belladonna is a
preservative against the scarlet fever.

ANAGRAm.----The French, who are very happy
at making anagrams, have discdvered that La Sainte Alliance
is neither more nor less than La Sainte Canaille.

MuslC.-The various chords of sound which
an octave will produce, have been calculated at eight thousand
one hundred and ninety-one. _ _

NAVAL AND MILITARY BIBLE SOCIETY.—A
Meeting'of the friends of this Society took place
yesterday, at the King's Concert Room, in the

Haymarket, and was attended by Ladies and
Gentlemen of the highest rank. Admiral Lord
GAMBIER. was unanimously called to the Chair.
The Secretary— read the Report, stating, that
Branch Societies. had been formed in various parts
of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Gibraltar.
and the most salutary results were anticipated
for the future from the success hitherto expe-
rienced. Upwards 9f 1600 'Bibles and Testa-
ments have been distributed amongst ;the several
regiments stationed in Ireland. In Scotland
1000 copies of the Scriptures had been supplied
to persons in need of their. Upwards of 9000
Bibles and 4800 Testaments had been distributed
by the Naval an4l Military Society of London.
Through these efforts to circulate' the Word of
God, as well as from the daily increasing de-
mands upon the Society, a balance of 10001. was
due from them ; and an energetic' appeal was
made to the liberality of the Meeting, to enable
the Society to follow up their proceedings with'
increased vigour.
