On the 90th of January the Spanish Ambassador,
Don Pedro Cevallos, gave a splendid entertainment
to forty-eight persons, at which the Infanta Don
Francis, the chief Ministers, the principal Officers of
the Court, and the whole Diplomatic Body were
present.

The arrival of American Papers to the 21st ult.
enables us to give a summary of the case of Colonel
Jona ANDERSON, which has excited some animated
discussions in the House of Representatives.
From the subjoined extract of a letter from New
York, dated the 19th of January, it would appear
that the United States have actually proceeded to the
occupation of part of the territory of Florida. The
intelligence can surprise nobody who has paid any
attention to the late declarations of the American
Government:

The Government of the United States has taken possession
of an Island forming part of the tertitory of Florida. The whale
territory of Florida will, no doubt, follow the same 4outny, u
part of the same system. lam solicitous not to be mistaken nor
misrepresented, in the point of view from which I examine the
features of that policy which has led to this event, and the map.
tier of its accomplishment.

" In the first place, I feel perfectly satisfied, that the penin-
sula.of Florida must, in the natural progress of society by the
mere spreading of population, have become an integral part of
the North American Union.—ln the second place, I feel per-
fectly satisfied there was no danger whatever of its being ceded
to or sought by Great Britain, or any of the European Powers•
In the third place, I feel a perfect conviction that the occupation
of Florida, by the Republics of the Southern Section of this Con-
tinent, would have brought the territory into the Union of these
States, without difficulty or sacrifice of any kind."

Buenos Ayres Papers have reached us to the 7th
November, containing an official account of the cap-
ture of the Spanish ship la Perla. This vessel sailed
from Cadiz on the 6th May last with other transports,
under convoy of the Esmeralda frigate, having on
board 1200 men, bound to Lima. In doubling Cape
Horn, the Perla' separated from the convoy, and was
taken by the brig Aguila, belonging to the Chili Go-
vernment, without any resistance, though the Perla
mounted 16 guns, and was armed as a corvette. She
had on board a cargo valued at 400,000 dollars, some
officers, friars, and troops. The Aguila was instantly
sent in quest of the other stragglers.
In consequence of the system of delusion practised
by the Spanish Authorities, General SAY XiRTIN I
had issued the following Proclamation: •

By 'captain nem; ;rbo was taken prisosier on the iceh
instant near Takaguano, I have been informed, that the persons,
composing the Royal Army have been purposely told that the
Patriotic troops give no quarter to Use asoquered. Such an kn.
putation is a wicked outrage against the united army under my
command, as well as myself. This calumny is mold false by
2000 prisoners and SO slicers taken at Chacabuco, and now
dispersed in various parts of our country. It is also belled by
General Masco himself. The rights of war allowed me to put
the latter to death, since in his own Government Gazette he
pledged he would kW me, not in a manner naked to a soldier,
but by the gallows, as if I bad been an amain, or highway-
man. Nevertheless, be is DOW enjoying every consideration due
to a prisoner.—ollicen and Soldiers ! enemies as you are of uss
wage war against us with all the courage you choose, in favour
of your own opinions, but never believe impostures disgraceful
to the enlightened age in which we live, and highly derogatory
to the army I command. (3gned)
" Head-quarters, September 30. " SAX MAILYW."

That a more correct idea may be formed of the
nature of the administration by which the Buenos
Ayres provinces are governed, we give the substance
of a document published by the finance department
on the 31st of October, 1817. The equipment of the
Chili expedition had left the Government in arrears
to the amount of 1,147,722 dollars, to the payment
of which the receipts of the Custom-house were
pledged. Of this sum, 476,734 dollars had been paid
up to the 20th of October, and at the date of the
document alluded to, it was calculated that there was
a sufficiency of duties due at the Custom-house on
goods in stores and on board the ships in the harbour,
to liquidate the balance. The country then remains
without a national debt.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East
India House, when the following Captains were sworn
into the command of their respective ships, viz. Cap-

DEATH OF THE KING OF SWEDEN:

A Hamburgh Mail, which arrived at 3 late hour
to-day, has brought the fallowing important in-
telligence : •

" RANBURGH, FEBRUARY n.

" The. King of Sweden, Charles XIII. is dead.—
The particulars are not known. The communications
of the Coasts art suspended."
The succession is now cpen to BERNADOTTE, the
Crown Prince.

Ye*terday the Duchess of GLOUCESTER spent the
day with-the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House.
Viscount MELVILLE and the Hanoverian Minister
had audiences of the PRINCE REGENT yesterday at
Carlton House.

We are happy to say, the Duke of CLARPNCE was
so much better yesterday, as to be able to leave town
about two o'clock for Bushey.

Tuesday evening the Prince of HessE Homnsau
honoured Covent Garden Theatre with his presence,
for the first time. His Serene Highness sat in the

Yesterday his Serene Highness visited the Duke
and Duchess of CUMBERLAND. He also received visits

The riduranion of Mr. WALKER, it the Lyceum,
and the Dioastrodoson of Mr. LLOYD, at the Hay-
market, are attracting, this Lent season, even more
than a usual share of public favour. It to unite the
instructive and amusing—to please the eye and at
the same time inform the mind, be merits deserving
of patronage, they are, indeed, well deserving of all
the success they have obtained. Parents and precep-
tors cannot indulge their children and pupils with the
sight of any Exhibition more innocent and useful.
Monday night the Fourth London Concert took
place at the London Tavern, under the direction of
Sir GEORGE SmAur. The performancei, Vocal and
Instrumental, went off with great eclat. The great
reom was crowded to excess ; there were upwards
of 800 present.

DECRY-LANE THEATEF.—The excellence of the
Selection of Music performed at this Theatre last
night attracted a full audience, notwithstanding the
unfavourable state of the weather. The " Recor-
dare," and " Bencdictus," from MozAnr's " Re-
quiem," were charmingly performed by Mrs. SAL
MON, BEAHAM, &c. These two unrivalled singers
also gave " Qual Andante," the delicious duet by
the noble Venetian, BENEDETTO MA RCELLO. A n-nv
MS. glee, by BRAHAM, was performed for the first
time; it is a lovely composition, and was encored
from all parts of. the house. During the evening, a
part of BEETHOVEN'S pastoral symphony was perform •
ed, for the first time, with great effect. BRAIIAM
sang HANDEL'S grand scene, " Deeper and deeper
still," with the usual effect. In the whole range of
musical composition, we know of nothing of a dra-
matic kind that equals this piece, when delivered in 1
the impressive manner that so distinguishes this great '
and animated singer. Miss BYRSIC sangg, with. Much
animation, taste, and expression, the celebrated' Irish
flavouxneen Dheelish: was 'rapturouslyenCored.

iVer SottLs.--It is proposed, by a few persons form-
ing a Club in the City, for the purchase of Tickets
and Shares in the present Lottery, that should they
become entitled to any part of the 12 Pipes of Port
Virme, which Bun has superadded to the Scheme,
that the landlord be required to cellar it fortheir use ;
and that the quantity obtained shall regulate the al-
lowance to each member nightly, it being understood,
that in any case it shall not be less than a pint, nor
more than two bottles.—An Irish member observed,
" that he was sure the blind Goddess would not over-
look such good fellows, but give them, with their
share of the Wine, a shay of the One Hundred Capi-
tals into the bargain ; in hich case he would not fail
to toast the health of Bisu, her Prime Minister."

Dula Pa awns—lt was stated very recently, that the Police
had received information of a duel, which was expected to take
place between a gallant Lieut.-Colonel, who had distinguished
himself in the Peninsula, and Lieutenant N. It appeared that
the Colonel did not feel himself bound, as a man of honour, to
contend with the challenger, whom he did not consider an honour-
able man, when a third person became the champion of Lieutenant
N. The following are the particulars, related by a person present :
A Captain in the Army shook hands with the Colonel at one of the
West-end gaming bouts, and Lieutenant N. who was present,
upbraided the Colonel With the epithet " Poltroon." On a fit
opportunity, the Colonel inflicted summary justice upon the
Lieutenant with a cane or horsewhip. This produced a chal-
lenge ; but the Colonel was advised that he would degrade him-
self by combat with the challenger, and he therefore declined it,
but promised similar chastisement to that inflicted. It was then
stated, that the Colonel Was bound to fight any other person who
would stand forth am the champion of Lieutenant N. • to which
the Colonel cocooned : when a Lieutenant J. appeared as the
champion, and the meeting was appointed for Tuesday morning,
at Turnham-green. The information to the Police was renewal,
and Thomas Foy apprehended the parties, at an inn near the
spot, early in the morning. The parties were held to ball in 5001.
personal sureties each, and two others in 2'.;01. each.
. .

MBLAN/1119LY Occuftazscr..—A very melancholy
event took place on Friday afternoon last, in the
workshop of- Mr. 1. Morris, painter, of Chester. The
greatest part of the men employed by Mr. Morris had
assembled, we understand, in one room, for the pur-
pose of celebrating the enfranchisement from a state
of apprenticeship of one of the young men. After
they had been regaling themselves some time, two of
them (of the names of Udol and Usherwood) engaged
in a variety of antics, in the course of which they'
overturned a bucket of water, and a largo tin can,
which was filled with spirit of turpentine, in which
they rolled each other. Udol then, without the
slightest intention of injuring his
.friend and fellow,
workman, applied a piece of Ugh* paper to Dsherl
wood's pantaloons. The effect of this act was awfus
in the extreme ; in an instant the- young man war
enveloped in a body of fire. His companlons imme-
diately resorted to a variety of expedients to extin-
guish the flame, but without effect. His wearing. ap-
parel, in a few minutes, with the exception of one gar-
ter, and a part of one of his stockings, was burnt jo
ashes. His body was dreadfully scorthed, and pre-
sented a frightful spectacle.. He was, carried to the
Infirmary, a shOrt time after the fatal event took
place, where he lingered in the, most excruciating
agony until about six oklokk on Saturday event,
when death relieved ]lien from all his sufferings--An
Inquest was held on the /actaj on Sunday last. Ver-
.dict—A c cidental Death.
