We have this morning received the French rapers
of the Sd instant, from which the following are the
only extracts worth notice :
The two individuals. M. de Cnomantszno and M.
de BRIQUILVILLIfi whose meets were lately announced,
and who are charged with criminal correspondence
with some French Refugees. are both placed at the
disposal of the King's Procurator.

viral hundred persons from the Canton's of Basle and

Lieuteuent-Omteral Elio, so well known for the
pumple which ha:had given to soldiers, of sted-
tam devotion to the legitimate Bovereigia,_ upon _hia
Magglf-atrivai in Valencia in 1814, is about to
the command of that City and iravinte t fie
goes out to the Canary Islands as Captain. General.
This sort of disgrace is ascribed to the eztreme
rity which he displayed during the scenes of which
Valencia was the theatre in January last.

SOUTH AMERICA. •
Some of our Contemporaries 'bare been very ac-
tive in spreading a rumour that this Country has been
called upon to *dune between Spain and her Colo
nies. The thing is hardly credible—or, if true, it is
difficult to conceive how our Government could, in
any way, interfere. • With what grace could Eng-
land, which used all her influence at one time to it-
duce the Oboists to throw off the yoke of the Mother
Country. now propose to persuade them to return' to

statement from Distrito Arnim it of Cadiz. of 6th Ja-
nuary, 1817, will hardly be called in question by any
who know the state.of the Press in Spain. It is part
of a u Report of the principal Chiefs of the Rebellion
in New Granada, who had suffered capital punish-
ment." The inhuman manner in which these victims
have been-immolated, and the shame, ul terms in which
the facts are afterwards recorded, and exultingly
boasted of, will• cbnvey a pretty lair idea of what
Spanish pardons and amnesties are in the New World,
and what likelihood there is of a mediation emceed-.
ing in that outraged country, rein though it were

Various authentic accounts assert, that the total
