THE DUKE OF CLEVELAND.

Sir Henry Halford and Dr. Chambers visited
the Duke of Cleveland about 12 o'clock to-day:
According to the bulletin which was issued at
one o'clock there appears to be no improvement.
The following is a copy :
" His Grace the Duke of Cleveland is ex-
tremely ill this morning.
" St. James's-square, Jan. 27, 1842."

SIR JAMES GRAHAM'S DECLA-
RATION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR—It appears that Sir James Graham, one
of the Ministers, told the " Short-time Deputa-
tion," that "one thing was, certain, that we must
lay aside the notion that we could ever again
become the workshop of the world."
By what particular feeling or quality of the
human mind as ordinarily constituted, must
this declaration be supposed to have been
dictated? 'What it bears on the face of it, ap-
pears to be of this kind. "We the predominant
party in a great manufacturing and commercial
country, or what might have been, have for six-
and-twenty years been doing our best to check its-progressin those directions. We have levied,
a tax front the community, the effects of which
have been sedulously directed to giving a premium
upon foreign maim factures to the depreSsion of our
.own. We now rejoice to say, that the result of
our pains has embodied itself' in the complete
and unassailable superiority of the foreigner.
We have reached the haven of our wishes. We
have prevented the country from rushing into
the commercial supremacy which it was in dan-
ger of; and we now exult in seeing the cause of
'apprehension permanently extinguished, in the
extinction of the temptation. We trust to hear
no more of this romantic attachment to trade;
and the ground on which we rest our confidence,
is that the heroine is cut up and made into a pie."
If this is not the meaning of the Minister who
for our sins assists to rule us, what is?
Yours very sincerely,
T. PERRONET THOMPSON.
Blackheath, 27th January, 1842.

THE KING of PRUSSIA'S ARRIVAL
AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE.
This morning many thousands had assembled in St.
James's Park, to witness the arrival of his Majeity the
King of Prussia, who was expected to arrive at
twelve o'clock, but as early as half-past eleven, his
Majesty and attendants arrived in three Royal carriages,
but without any escort, and altogether in so private a
manner as almost to have entered the palace gates with-
out being recognised ; indeed, many of the spectatOrs
assembled waite for some time under the impression
that his Majesty had not arrived. About • a
quarter before one o'clock the French, Austrian,
Russian, and other AmbasSadors, began to arrive for the,
purpose of attending the Levee. Shortly after one
o'clock the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and Corporation as-
sembled at the Mansion-house, for the purpose of pro-,
ceeding in state to present. the City Address, agreed to
on Monday last.
His Majesty returns to *Windsor this afternoon, and
to-morrow he will come to town for the purpose of visit-
ing several of our national edifices in the metropolis.
His Royal Highness the DUke of Sussex, we believe,
in the evening gives a grand banquet at Kensington
Palace to his Majesty and Noble attendants, to which a
numerous and highly distinguished circle is to be invited
to meet the august guest:
On Saturday the King and suite leave Windsor Castle
with the intention of passing the remainder of the Royal
sojourn in this country in town.
It is now definitively ascertained that his Majesty
does not occupy the apartments of the King of Hanover
at St. James's Palace, as was at first expected, an offi-
ciaVcomtnunication to his Excellency Count Kleiman-
see and Sir Frederick Watson having been received
to that effect on Tuesday morning.
The King having had apartments prepared at Buck-
inramiPalaCe, at the especial command of the Queen,
his Majesty could not decline their acceptance, or his
Majesty would certainly have honoured those of the
King of Hanover, whose residence has been thoroughly
refurnished; and partially re-embellished, for the recep-
lion of the illustrious stranger, at a considerable expense.
We understand the suite of rooms selected by the
Lord Chamberlain for his Majesty's disposal, are those
previously occupied by the Duchess of Kent before the
Queen's marriage.
• The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland and the Duke of
WeVington give splendid banquets on Monday and Toes-
day,l6 his Majesty at Stafford House and Apsley House.'
,'dint Ernest Schippenback and several other officers
of the'Prussian army, connected with his Majesty's re-
tinue, are quartered at the Tower.

PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 26.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
The Vindictive frigate, commanded by Capt. Toup
Nicholas, in working to the anchorage of Spithead this
morning, missed stays, and afterwards brought up in
Beckelsham Bay, near Chichester Harbour, on the top
of high water. As the tide fell she touched the ground,
and beat so heavily, that about three o'clock in the af-
ternoon she was obliged to cut away her wizen mast by
the board. Notwithstanding her situation is one of great
peril, but little appears to have been done either by the
men of war at Spithead, or the Dock-yard authorities,
beyond despatching the Lively cutter with an anchor
and cable.

•
SEVEN O'CLOCK.-it is reported that the mainmast of
the Vindictive has gone. by the board. It is now blow-
ing heavy from the north-west, with every appearance
of a most boisterous night. The Vindictive is one of
the finest frigates of the British navy, and her last trip
to attend upon tho King of Prussia, is the first time she
ever was at sea.
The Warspite frigate, Capt. Lord John Hay, arrived
yesterday, and is now at anchor with the Queen, Captain
Rich, at Spithead.

QUARTER TO THREE.
In the very late advices received to-day from Buouos
Ayres, there is " food for reflection" to such of our, mer-
chants as are interested in the affairs of South America.
The long and. ruinous contest ,between the Argentine
ruler, Rosas, Juni, the. Llnttarians, seems likely. to ,be.
early brougli to a close.. .One_, at least, among'
the host of ambitious tyrants, whose name is" Le-
gion," has ceased to desolate . the soil of America,'
though, perhaps, the dragon-toeth may be too, deeply
sown nut to bring forth another and another. '
The development of the resources of South American
States to the benefit alike of themselves and the coun-
tries trading with them, can clearly never be accom-
plished until the horn of peace is held in sight where now
the,sword of war is fiercely waved; and it seems as if. in
aVicendtinity of one superior tyrant, such as Posas
or'Santa Anna, and the curbing of the no less restless:
though less able ones, that the safety and prosperity of
such republics can best exist, at least under the present
system of Government.

Respecting the- fate of La Madrid, nothing positive has
yet been known. Two Indians, who lately came over
in the Cordillera, report that before their departure from
Chili, a group of about twenty men had reached the
first post-house there in great distress, and that in their
passage across they met with nearly one hundred dead
bodies, upon some of which they found considerable sums

The brig Messenger, Captain Ellis, has just arrived
in the St. Katherine Dock from Boston, United States,
and is the first vessel of a line of packets which will run
regularly hereafter between Boston and London; and if
the experiment succeeds, new and large ships of the size
and model of the New York, Liverpool, and London
lines, will take the places of the present vessels.
The Messenger has made a good voyage, and comes
laden with American produce. There is little doubt. of
the ultimate success of this new line, as the rapid
growth of Boston, the opening of the Railroad to
Albany, by which the vast quantities of Western
produce can be conveyed at a rapid rate to Boston,
the Royal Mail steamers from Liverpool, the
Eastern Railroad, which is to be continued to the Bay
of Fundy, the numerous branch railroads, all continue
-to assist the trade of Boston, and we see no reason why
a line of splendid packets direct to London, should not
prove profitable to the enterprising merchants who
have started the project.
The English and Foreign Securities are not quite so
firm as at the opening. Consols are now 891 for Money,
and 894 for the Account ; Three per Cents. Reduced.
