We received last' night the Paris Papers of Sunday,
and the Etoile dated Monday morning. The latter men-
lions that letters from Madrid, of the 28th December,
state, that the corps of Royalist volunteers of that capital,
consisting of three battalions, a company of cavalry, and a
• detachment of artillery, all in the finest conditioh, were
reviewed in the Prado. The same Paper states that it is
4flitmed that the Infant Don MIGUEL was proclaimed at
Almeida on the 20th and 21st nit. the garrison having de-
elared in his favour; and that a letter from Madrid, of the
hit •

himself master of Viseu.

t-veeived last night New York Papers to the 17th
filled with
he v eY Contain no news, but are
v th:1PRIlsI"111nous official documents presented to Congress
now ENT, upon the important subject-of discus-
;tate:
w pending between Great Britain and the United
ndiaes ctit7g
the trade of the latter with our West
c/r4B. The great interest and importance of

Zna rge
some of these documents has induced us. to devote a large
space to the publication of part of them; viz.:—

Ist, The instructions given to Mr. Gallatin, the American
Minister to this country, dated the 10th of June last.
2d, Mr. Gallatin's note to Mr. Canning,- dated Aug. 26 ; and
3dly, Mr. Canning's reply, dated 11tCSeptember.
It is almost- impossible, in the restricted space which
we can now devote to observations on this highly import-
ant subject in our paper of to-day, to state distinctly the
pretensions advanced. by the Minister of the United States
on the one hand, and the arguments used in refutation of
those pretensions by Mr. CANNING on the other. We
must, therefore, refer our Readers to the Documents
themselves,, and for the present content ourselves with
remarking that the United. States, though admitting
the general right of every country possessing Colonies
to regulate the trade with those Colonies in such manner
as. she may think fit, assumes in the discussion that the
trade with the British West India Colonies is as open to
the United States as any other trade in the world, with-
out considering whether some compensation might
not be due to Great Britain for the concession
of a privilege which it is her undoubted right
to give or withhold. Mr. CANNING in his Note,
Which, for soundness and perspicuity of reason-
ing, and for frankness of declaration, stands unrivalled in
diplomatic correspondence, most fully refutes this as-
sumption, and puts the whole question upon • such
plain and intelligible grounds, that it will be entirely
impossible 'for the American Government to justify to the
world, that interruption of the amicable relations between
the two countries, of which she seems to contemplate the
possibility, in consequence of this discussion. Mr. CAN-
NING's exposition of the 'considerations which led to the
Act of 1825, is peculiarly simple and distinct.
. Our right either to open the ports of our Colonies, or to keep
them closed, as might suit our own • convenience; our fight to
grant the indulgence of a trade with those Colonies to foreign
powers, wholly or partially, unconditionally, or conditionally, as
we might think proper, and if conditionally, on what conditions
we pleased, was clear. We were not bound by any engagement
to continue a monopoly of such indulgence to one foreign power
against another. We had, for three years'felt the inconvenience
of such monopoly. We naturally sought, therefore, in our new
measure, to avoid the recurrence of the like inconvenience, by
making our indulgence general to all nations; and, in -order to
keep the regulation of that indulgence in oar own hands, we
granted it by spontaneous legislation, and not by positive treaty.
And the frankness with which Mr. CANNING makes the
final avowal of the determination of the British Govern-
ment, not to remove the Interdict directed by his MA-
JESTY, is the happiest speciMen of a polite refusal of the
claims of a Foreign Power which can he found in the
archiVes of the Foreign Office.
But the British Government further owes to the spirit of'frank-
ness which it wishes to cultivate in all its relations with the
United States, to declare that, after having been compelled to
apply to my country the interdict, prescribed by the Act of 1825,
the British Government cannot hold itself hound to remove the
interdict, as a matter of course, whenever it may happen to suit
the convenience of the Foreign Government to reconsider the
measures by which the application of that interdict was occa-
sioned.

It is not made matter of complaint by the British Government,
that the United States have declined conditions which other na-
tions have thought worthy of their acceptance.
It is on the other hand, not the fault of the British Govern-
ment, if the United States have suffered the time to pass by, at
which it might have been an object of greater importance to this
country to induce the United States' to come into their proposals.
The United States exercised, upon this point, a free judgment,
and they can, on their. put, have no reason to complain that
Great Britain, after allowing ample time for maturing that judg-
ment, is contented to abide the result of their decision.

The position in which the United States have been
placed in the discussion, by the irresistible arguments of
Mr. CANNING, is so palpably wrong, that We cannot he)p
entertaining a hope that the Congress will evince more
good sense and temper in the consideration of the question
than the general tone of that part of the PRESIDENT'S
Message, which related to this subject, seemed to indicate
on his part.

A Philadelphia Paper of the 12th ult. contains the fol-
!miring paragraph, copied from the Ivele York Advocate-
of the 11th, under the head of " Singular Report :"
‘4 We have been informed, that a courier from England lately
passed through this city, to Washington, with dispatches from the
British Cabinet, conveying intelligence that the present constitu-
tion of Spain was such, as to render it necessary for England to
garrison the island of Cuba."

In another column will be found the official note pre-
sented by the Marquis de PALMELLA to Mr. CANNING,
formally demanding
jin the name of her Highness the In-
fanta Regent of PORTUGAL, the support and aid of
British troops, in virtue of the existing Treaties of alliance
and guarantee, together with Mr. CANNING'S reply, deed
the 11th inst.

We have not time or space to enter into the considera-
ion of the arguments used by the Portuguese Govern-
lent, to prove that a casus
,fiEderis existed to justify
he interference of Great Britain. The force of

the reasoning, however, was fully proved by Mr. CANNING'S
reply, which simply enclosed the Message from his Mk.
JESTY to both Houses of Parliament, signifying his inten-
tion, immediately, to furnish the required aid. There is
something magnificently great in this laconic communica-
tion 'of fidelity of Great Britain to the treaties with which
she is bound to support an ancient Ally.

Frankfort Papers of the 3d instant, and the Nuremburg
Correspondent of the 2d, have been received this morn-
ing. A report was prevalent in Germany, that two great
European Powers had advised Don MiGuEL to repair to the
Court of his brother in Brazil, in order the more effec-
tually to put an end to all the hopes of the Insurgents in
their views on Portugal.
LUOIEN BUONAPARTE has purchased one of the largest
houses in flamburgh, where he means to settle with his
family.

FROM THE DANUBF DM 28
According to a report, which, indeed, much needs confirm. a-
tion, the Infant Don Miguel will shortly repair to the Court of his
brother, the Emperor of Brazil. Two great European Powers,
which are most immediately interested in the re-establishment of
tranquillity and -order in the Peninsula, are stated to have proposed
this voyage, probably considering it as the most proper means to put
an end to the abuse which the Portuguese insurgents male of the
name of his Royal Highness. The mast positive declaration which
the Prince might make
of his disapprobation of their culpable un-
dertaking would but imperfectly attain the end in view, because the
leaders of the rebels might still have the boldness to represent
it to the multitude of those whom they have deluded, as an in-
voluntary act, or perhaps entirely to conceal it from them. On
the other hand the proposed voyage, as a fact, would afford the
most irrefragable proof of the true and indubitable sentiments of
the Prince, and thus deprive the rebels of every pretext for per-
sisting in their criminal enterprise.

. It is not easy to account for the patience and forbearanc:. of
Mr. Lamb, considering the menaces he has expressed. May we
not, however, conjecture that the preparations for war which he
witnesses, are probably the cause of his silence and prolonged de-
lay-in Spain. In fact, if Mr. Lamb had left Madrid, the Spanish
troops would probably have entered Portugal, and so powerful a
diversion in favour of, the Portuguese Royalists might have the
meat prompt and serious results. It is not, therefore, impossible
but that Mr. Lamb thought it his duty to temporise, in order to
give the .English troops time to arrive at Lisbon. Should our
suspicions be well-founded, we shall find this Ambassador throw
off the mask as soon as lie hears for certain of the landing of the
troops.—,Quotidienne.

A report prevailed that some good news had arrived from
Colombia, but it has not had any effect on the Colombian Market.
It is said that Bolivar bad arrived at Bogata, and been proclaimed
Director of the Republic!.

Letters have been received from Port au Prince, ten days
later than our last advices. They confirm the fact of the
Haytian Government having officially notified to the French
Government, that they would not be able to pay the instalment

A new Comedy, entitled "A School for Grewn Children,"
from the practised pen of Mr. Morton, was.brought out last
night at this Theatre. The plot—feeble, we should. observe, and
complicated)—is something to the foflowingeffect :—Old Revel
(Mr. Farren), a wealthy Nabob, comes over to England for the
purpose of redeeming' his son, young Revel (Mr. ;hones), from a
course of extravagance in which, he is. told, be has indulged to a
most ruinous extent. Aware that a sermon (and in this we agree
with him), though edifying and moral in the extreme, is not
likely to do much With a youth fresh from London hells and New-
market jockeying ; he resolves to attempt his reformation by proving
to him practically the hazards of his present course. With this
view, he takes, every opportunity of vying with him in profusion,
excels him in his balls, his yachts, his stud, even in his amours
(this last point we beg leave to daubt), and finally succeeds in ren-
dering him like novel heroes, at the end of the third volume, a
very " respectable member of society." To this plot, ingeniously
compounded of Theodore Hook's clever story of the "Man with
many Friends" and Sheridan's "School for Scandal," a sort 'of
under-story is added ; as this last is distressingly sentimental,
and regards only the loves of two young country sweethearts—the
one a Yorkshireman, with an " awfu" (to use a Scotch phrase)
appetite and corduroy inexpresSibles, and the other. a pretty girl
enough, with red arms and thick ankles, we forbear inflicting
its details on our readers. Enough to, say that it is characterised
by all Mr. Morton's usual defects in this style.--a style that has
neither nature nor even elegance to recommend it ; but is just the
sort of sentiment which a tippler displays after his tenth tumbler
of Glasgow punch. Among the chief characters Messrs. Farren
and Joues, as father and son, shine pre-eminent. The former,
indeefil, is quite in his element throughout the piece, being crabbed
ana touchy at times, with a dash of good nature in his composition,
so that the melange is exceedingly whimsical, and what is
better, true to nature. Sir Arthur Stanmore, a sentimental
Baronet; uxoriously devoted to his wife, and whose
principal
charge against her seems to consist in the novel fact of " her ex-
cessive obedience !" was well represented by Mr. C. Keruble ;
Miss Chester too, as-this connubial curiosity, went through her part
with grace, spirit and fidelity, and why should refuse justice
to Airs. Glover, who, if the merits of actresses, (according to Mr.
Elliston's plan), were to be estimated by the pound,
nil& fairly
be described as being about half a ton of first-rate ability. The
house, we were glad to see, was well attended; and the comedy
announced for repetition with applause.
