PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

PARIS, Sm. 22.
I am one of those Englishmen who have witnessed
with pleasure the arrival of the British Foreign Minister
in the capital of France. My bosom swells with national
pride to see the anxiety of the volatile French to get a
sight of our English lion—the eager anxiety, not un-
mixed with awe, with which they regard him. But
there is one party, "small, indeed, in number (to use
the language applied by the Hight Hon. Secretary
himself to the Radicals of England) powerless alike in
talent and in place," which looks with an evil eye on the
homage of popular respect and admiration, rendered
to the reputation of Mr. Canning. You already guess
that it is the poor, worn out, and disappointed Ultras I
am about to name. This renowned sect of politicians of
the old school, whose whole ambition centres in the re-
establish establishment of the ancien regime,by which their country
was once hurled into the pit of anarchy, and would he
-again; who hate constitutions, proclaim the divine right
of Kings, inculcate passive obedience, and worship the
" legitimate' Ferdinand ; this musty sect, forsooth, can-
not conceal their chagrin at the presence of our Minister.
You may know an Ultra, wherever you meet him, by
the sneer of affected contempt, which his countenance
seems to wear, habitually, towards the gay and the
happy of every scene into which he enters. The tone
of their lamentations, I confess, amuses me. At Galig.
nani's famous Salon de Lecture. you know that we see
the French and English Journals, Periodicals, kc. and it
was here that I perused the articles in the Quitaienne
(the Ultra Paper) of yesterday and to day, which have
given rise to the present observations. The following
is the manner in which the subject of Mr. Canning's
arrival in Paris is noticed:

—....
Yesterday" Whatever the Journals of the Ministry may say to
the contrary, the deed is done; the independence of the Spanish
Colonies is recognised by France. But three years ago our soldiers
raised up the throne of Ferdinand ; to-day we trample under foot
the most sacred rights of his Crown. States, which revolt alone
had constituted, are placed in the rank of legitimate and regular
Sovereignties. As soon as the Republics of the New World shall
condescend to receive the French flag, and the agents of France,
the nag and the agents of the Republica win be admitted into our I
porta. ibis is no more than what lots been long prepared, as we
have already announced, and which bursts upon us to-day, as
though it was thought to salute Mr. Canning upon his arrival by a'
formal act of adhesion to his policy—as though the two leading
Ministers resolved to mingle with their toasts, In honour of the
Kings of France and of England, the names of Bolivar and of
Doctor Francis.
0 Rash Ministers, take the reward which is due to you. Hear
ye not the plaudits of revolutionary opinion?—lt greets your un—
it proclaims them as concessions to the demands of the age. We
warned you that your course was one of danger—that you would
be driven to a treaty with liberal opinion—and that point you have
at length reached!"
This Day—" We have got Mr. Canning at Paris; at the same
instant Havre sees enter, and feat aloft in its port, the Republican
eolouri of the Americans. These two facts explain each other by their
'coincidence. M. de Villele, not presenting himself with sufficient
alacrity before the independence of the New World, the ensign of
their independence has come to lower itself before him. Mr.
Canning takes upon himself to do the honours, and to present to our
Royalist Ministers the standard of revolt."
This is the language of the fluoadienne. Had not
the imbecility of the party speaking came in to my re-
lief, I confess I should have felt something lira indigna-
tio
nat the comparison of the chosen *epr ntative of
the English Monarchy to a Master of 'the,erentonies'
to the spirit of revolt. I would ask this sapient writer,
and the party of which he is the organ, has England.
now so studiously decried as the ally of rebellion?
has there been nothing in the course of her policy
to indicate different sentiments and principles ?
Why, Sir, I was in this same Paris in the year 1815,
when, not a British Minister, but a British Field Mar-
shal, was here; and when I saw the flag which then,
at the price too of the best blood of Britain, was can-1
furled over the heights of Montmartre, I little thought
that day would so soon come, when England would
be charged with conniving at rebellion ; least of all I
did I expect such an accusation from the corps of
refugee Nobility who came in the baggage of the'
British army, and who owed their reinstatement in
their ancient properties, their ancient privileges, and
their ancient insolence toilßritith arms. This, how-
ever, is one of those revolutions is the moral world
not unfrequently seen, where good services may be
forgotten with tolerable security. England is net to
be turned from her course by such feeble assaults. She
does not forget, that it was the same party which now
expresses such horror at the recognition of States, be-
fore they are de jive, as well as de fado, independent,
that sent the pure pavilion made of France.to mingle
with the independents of British America, and help
them to work out their separation from the Mother
Country. The forbearance of England, until all the
struggles between the Colonists and Old Spain had
ceased, is well known; our offers of mediation ;
and, lastly, the space of time we gave to Spain, to
take the lead in recognition,. and secure to herself the
advantages of being the first—all these are well known,
and place the honour of our Cabinet, and of Mr. Se-
cretary Canning, too high to be affected by the sneers
or libels of the Qudidsenne. The doctrine and senti-
ments, however, above quoted, are by no means out of
place in an article, which affects seriously to condemn
the recognition of the independence of Hayti, as a com-
promise of the just tights of the French Crown, and
which api till to the presence of French troops, now in
Spain, to add weight to its argument.

RE-CAPTURE OF THE BRIG MONARCH►

LIVERPOOL, Sarrzwiss 27.

This morning the brig Monarch, Captain Mondell,
arrived here. It will be recollected, that this vessel was
taken by the Brazilian squadron some time ago, for
attempting to violate the blockade of Buenos Ayres.
The following is an account of the manner in which
Captain Mondell succeeded in regaining possession of
his vessel. It appears, that after being condemned at
Monte Video, a prize master and t wenty-five men, seven
of whom were soldiers, were put on board the Monarch
for the purpose of navigating her to Rio. Previously,
however, to sailing from Monte Video, Captain Mon-
dell had succeeded in secreting some arms under the
bed of the mate, who, with his cook, had been left on
board the brig. When within about 200 miles of Rio,
Captain Mondell commenced putting in practice his
plan for the recovery of the vessel, and having, with
the assistance of the mate and cook, succeeded in over-
powering the prize master and the watch at that time
upon deck,he, by threats,obliged him to call up thehands
from below, singly; and as each man came up, he was
seized by Captain Mondell and delivered to the mate
and cook, who pinioned and fastened him to the ring-
bolts. Thus taken by surprise, scarcely any resistance
was offered, with the exception of one black, who ap-
peared very loth to surrender without some fighting.—
The Brazilians being all secured, Captain Mondell was
anxious to dispose of them as quickly as possible ; but
as their number was too great to render it safe to trust
them in a boat with their hands at liberty, unless At a
considerable distance from the brig, Captain Mondell
took the precaution of placing the long-boat in slings,
and into this, after putting on board a stock of provi-
sions, a compass, and their clothes, he put the Brazi-
lians, their arms being still pinioned, with the exception
of one. The boat was then lowered into the water, and
the remaining seaman was put on board, with his hands
at liberty, and a knife, for the purpose of setting his
comrades at liberty. By this means, sufficient time was
allowed for the Monarch to gain such a distance from
the boat, as to render vain any attempt on the part of
the Braziliansito recapture her. Two of the Brazilians,
one of whom is an Officer, voluntered to come with
Captain Mondell, and with these two, and his mate and
cook, he has succeeded in bringing ie vessel safe into
' this port.
The brig Stag, one of the British vessels seized by the Brut-
; Hans, sailed from Monte Video two days before the Monarch.—
, Captain Mondell is of opinion that Captain Lashley would try to
recapture her.

It is confidently stated that Lord COCHaitNIt has ar-
rived at Napoli di Romania, and that the steam-boat
and schooner were seen by an English man-ef-war in
the Bay. The report, however, is doubted.
The state of the iron trade, in the great mining dis-
tricts of Monmouthshire and South Wales, is said to be
worse than it has been for many years. The prices of
some descriptions of iron are not, indeed, lower than they
have been at some former periods of distress; but they
are lower in proportion to the rate of wages, than per•
haps they ever have been.—Bad. Chronicle.
In consequence of a very con.iderable influx of ship
letters, the letter carriers were rot dispatched horn the
General Post Office, yesterday morning, until a late hour.
