The Government of this country is Moceeding
with the utmost regularity ; the best proof I can give
von r;f which is, that their paper, which might have
been b,..urht at 70 to 75 per cent. is now at 95 Fer
cent. and as the whole of their paper afloat does not
amount to 100.000 dollars, it will be extinguished by
duties before the end of another year.

The Market has declined considerably since the opening, and

of war taking place seems on the increase, and some parties
who have been purchasing for the last few days, have become
sellers to-day. The decline this morning is attributed solely '

Although the Government of the United States'
has been the first to recognize the independence at
Spanish America, yet it •has done it in so tardy, in-
gracious, and selfish a manner, as to give it little
claim to a commercial preference with the new Re-
publics. Indeed it would appear surprising that the
United States should so long have delayed to do an
act of such justice and apparent policy, did we not
know that the affected neutrality of the Government
of Washington was not one of principle, but for the
purpose of getting the Floridas from Spain; but now
that this has been effected—since the power of the
South American Provinces is admitted, and the in-
ability of Spain to recover any influence on the west
of the Atlantic is

is no longer any

reason for refraining from an act which generosity at
first might have dictated, and which obvious self-in-
terest now requires. _ _ _

Buenos Ayres has been independent for the last
twelve years—Chili has not acknowledged any of
the Spanish Authorities for the last five—the Colonies
of Terra Firma have ben► in a state of resistance to
the mother country for more than ten years--4nde-
pendent of her nearly two—and for more than two
years the same spirit has animated the Provinces
north of the Gulf of Mexico. In every quarter the
preponderance of actual force over antiquated claims
was striking and manifest. Of all, this the Govern-
ment of Washington was fully aware ; since it sent
Commissioners to the States of La Plata and to
the Provinces of the Pacific to examine their re-
sources and to ascertain the means of asserting their
independence ; but although the most satisfactory ac-
counts were transmitted by their agents, yet the
United States Government evaded the recognition of
their independence until the negotiation with Spain
for the cession of the Floridas was concluded and full
possession taken of these Provinces.
The reports of these Agents, and the instructions
by.which they were empowered to act, form part of
the papers transmitted, along with the Passtnaree
Message, to the Congress, a copy of which we gave
in the STAR of Tuesday last. These documents pos-
sess little interest, except as chewing the cunning po-
licy of the Government of the United States in their
diplomatic dealings. In a letter from the Secretary
of State, Mr. QUINCY ADAMS to a Mr. J. FORM, in..
structing him to proceed to Buenos Ayres or Chili,
the task, and requisite qualifications of an Agent of
the United States' Government, are thus stated :

4, As a Citizen of the United States, the first advice I shall

Ove you is to observe and report, with all the vigilance, and dis-
cernment, and penetration, aniffidelity to your country, that you
possess, the movements of all parties, but to make yourself a
partizan to none. It is well known that a negotiation of mach
longer standing has existed between the same Government and
Portugal ; nor has Mr. Ribadavia been residing two or three
yeah to no purpose In Ragland. To ascertain the real move-
merits of all these parties, a neutral position, a warner /earl, and
an observing mind, are indispensable.'
Notwithstanding all the information collected by
-the Government of Washington, before it recognized
the independence of Spanish America, we under-
stand that an oaioial correspondence took place be-

The French Papers of Saturday have been received.
Then contents possess little interest. On Friday, the
Chamber of Deputies was engaged in a discussion on
the system of the Post Office.
M. GIRARDIN condemned the system, as a crimi-
nal violation of all confidence. He further contended,
that the diminution of the Revenue of the Post Office
this year, was to be ascribed to the repugnance of in-
dividuals to pass their communications with their dis-
tant friends through the Post Office.
The Minister VILLZLE admitted the hardship to in.,
dividuals which this practice brought on, and stated,
that nothing but the paramount cause—the interest of
the whole, could justify such a measure.
M. For proposed to suppress the office of Direc-
tor-General of the Post Office, and leave the admi-
nistration of the duty in the hands of five officers,
with a view to the inviolability of letters.

The following are extracts from these Papers:
PARIS, APRIL 15.

The accounts from Germany are of a warlike corn-
plesion. The two Ministers of Russia who are at
Vienna see the Ministers of the Emperor of Austria
•err frequent, and the intimacy between the two
Courts appears to increase since the resolution of the
Divan was known.

A private letter from Bucharest, of the 12th of
March, says, "We are still in a most dreadful situa-
tion; Jassy has just become the prey of the flames:
the same deplorable fate is perhaps reserved for us.
Not a day passes but what is marked by murders and
partial fires: the day before yesterday a whole fa-
mily was massacred in the suburbs, and after the
Turks had plundered the house, they set it on fire.—
In a tumult a Turkish spahi lost his life.. This death
has been cruelly avenged on innocent Christians, of
whom several have been killed and tinny mutilated-
The shops are still open, in consequence of the strict j
orders of the Pacha, but thdre are few goods in them,
and commerce is absolutely reduced to nothing, for
who would speculate when nobody can be sure of
being alive the next day ?"
The intelligence from Madrid, which is up to the
date of the 2d of April, confirms the appointment of
Senor Valdes as the successor of Riego to the Presi-
dency of the Cortes.
The proposition of Senor Ramirez Avellano was
read the second time, for punishing the authors of the
cry of " The absolute King for ever"—if Spaniards,
with death or some other suitable punishment: and
if foreigners, with deportation, after having laboured
a year in the mines.
The Strasburg Courier of the 9th of April states,
that several Officers had been just arrested there.

immense country. When, in 1819, . _ Speranski
was appointed his successor, he received at the same
time orders to make a Report on all the existing
abuses. This was done; and the Emperor referred
the Report to the examination of a Commission, of
which Count Kotschubi was President, and in which
the two Ministers, Count Guriew and F. Golitzen,
General Count Araktschejeio, and Privy Councillors
Speranski and Campenhausen had a seat and a vote.
The result of their investigation, confirmed by the
Emperor, is, that 678 Civil Officers in Siberia have
been removed, punished, or reprimanded.
Without going into the catalogue of their trans.
gressions (which is indeed printed and published. but
not generally circulated), we observe that the chief
inculpations were-Ist. Exaction and monopoly. in
supplying the Siberian Governments with grain-2d.
Peculation, in the making of roads, ana in calculating
the contributions of the country-3d. Embezzlement
in levying the tribute of the subject tribes-4th. Em-
bezzlement to the detriment of the Colonies, &c. &c.
and that, in consequence of the Emperor's confirma-
tion, the late Governorof Siberia, Pestel, is discharged
from the service, 1, because be had remained 12 years
absent from the scene of his official duties, and, by
this long absence, left ample room for these evil prac-
tices." That the Governor of Irkutzk, M. Treskin, is
given over to justice ; and the Governor of Tomsk,
a. Illichewiky, to be dismissed from his office, and
referred, with his defence, to the Senate.
In the Ukase there follows the other 675 Officers,
with their names.—The attentive observer of the
Russian administration of justice will find this Ukase
extending to so large a number of individuals with
the most just severity.
VIRNNA, APRIL t.
The metalliques were yesterday 74 5-16ths.—Bank
Shares, 664 9 sths.—To-day they are 74 11-19ths,
and 664 7-10 tbs.
We expect about the 18th or 20th of April the re-
turn of the courier who was dispatched on the 19th
of March with the Note of the Reis Effendi, which
our Court refused to receive. The friends Of peace
Satter themselves that he will bring back the news
of a change in the dispositions of the Porte. The
courier dispatched by M. de Tatischeff to St. Peters-
burgh, will return to Vienna about the same time.

Charleston Papers arrived this morning to the 15th
March.

PROM THS PAPER ON THE 14TH MARCH.

By the Jane, BrWur.tax, we have received Havannab Papers
of the 3d instant. The United States brig Enterprise is busily
employed in conveying vessels in and out of liavannah, and sees
them safe off the coast of Cuba.

BIM CALCUTTA.

The return of the pilot-boats yesterday morning from the search
for the wreck of the Calcutta, and the report from them that it
was seen with no living creature in it, caused the most despond-
ing fears that the whole of the men on board bad perished; and
indeed such apprehensions were too well grounded to admit al-
most of a hope: but the appearance yesterday, about one o'clock,
of the pilot-boat Caroline, with an ensign lying at her main, with
a crowded deck, raised the spirits of the citizens, and all was
anxiety till she came near enough to the shore to proclaim her
good fortune, that she had brought the whole of the people from
the deck. Under Hzsvzx, the crew of the Calcutta owe their
safety to the strength of that vessel; she bore the violence of the
breakers for nearly 40 hours, during awful weather; when the
men were taken off, she began to break up in her quarter-deck.

The letters received from Norfolk and Suffolk this
morning are far from being satisfactory. Two men
were executed at Norwich on Saurday, for firing a
stack-yard at Dissi a few weeks ago. One of them
died very penitent, but the other was in good spirits,
and attempted to justify his conduct. On Friday
there was a great riot at Wrentham, close to the pro.
petty of Sir T. Goocn. An express was sent to Nor-
wich for the Lancers, and their interference dispersed
the assemblage. Mr. GOOCH, the Member for the
County, and Chairman of the late Committee of the
House of Commons on Agricultural Distress, was
present, and read the Riot Act himself. A General
Meeting of the County of Norfolk will probably be
soon called, to petition for Parliamentary Reform, as
a Requisition to the Sheriff* is in the course of signa-
ture. The first name on it is the patriotic. Lord Sup-'
Flat% Mr. COKE, and almost every Gentleman of
any consequence, signed it last Saturday, at Norwich.
rAtIDOP Tawrans.—TheWtnter Houses are in future to close
by the end of June and not to Upea until the 15th of October.
The Little Theatre is to open about the end of May, or beginning
of Juue, and to cease performances by the 15th of October.—
All the restrictions upon performefs at Drury-lane, and Covent-
garden, preventing them from playing at the Haymarket, are M-
b, taken off. All the Minor Theatres are to be brought strictly
back to their original rules, and their licenses confined to the
exhibition of spectacle, and to recitative in dialogue.

Daum-Latex TIULATRi.-•—IIOADLEY'S Comedy of the Suspi-
cious Husband was produced last night, In which Mrs. Gwent
made her first appearance this season in the character of Clarinda.
Her performance was extremely spirited, and rendered defi-
ciencies, of any sort, unobservable. Mr. COOIPZIL also appeared
for the first time as Frankly, and was highly respectable • and
Mr. Ettisron's Ranger was altogether a very judicious and ef-
fective performance.
Cove.r.r-GAantrt.—By a inundate deviation from the Usual
routine of performances here, a Tragedy of SUAGSPEAIIII was
played last night. Mr. YOUNG represented Macbeth for the first
time since his return to the London hoards. lie exhibited
throughout a rare union of fine conception, with graceful and
energetic execution. The dagger and banquet scenes, and the
whole of the fifth Act, were remarkable for discrimination,
power, and passion, displayed not only in the variations of vnice
and countenance,
,but in attitudes singularly picturesque and ex-
pressive. The applause was cordial and frequent. Mrs. Faxen
was the Lady Macbeth, and surpassed our expectations. She was,
mostly admired in the sleeping scene, and hi dismissing the guests
front the supper. Hr. Amply performed 3facshaf with much
credit to himself and satisfaction to the House, and a fuller one
than list evening is seldom seen anywhere.
