BUENOS AYRF.S.

_1.10.--

Buenos Ayres Papers last received contain details of
the surrender of Chiloe to the Chilian expedition, and
of the election of Rivadavia to the Presidency of the
Republic of La Plata.—events, some accounts of which
had reached us through other channels. There aref
however, several other articles of intelligence, which, i,
not more important, have not lost any interest which
might belong to them by being-previously known.—
Among these are official dispatches relative to the
maritime operations of the squadron commanded by
Admiral, or, as he is called, General Brown, employed
in blockading La Colonia. By advice. received •n the
Ist of March, it appears that the La Plata squadron had
then very successfully battered the Brazilian trenches,
and completely demolished one of their battelies which
defended the entrance to the port. The Brazilians are
said to have suffered sevetely in different attacks, and
the La Plata squadron had to regret the loss of an
officer of rank who commanded a brigantine. At this
date General Lavalleja had arrived with a thousand
men, to co-operate with Brown in the attack on Colonia.
The succeeding accounts were not of so favourable a
nature. Information was teceived on the 4th, that six
gun boats had been detached from the squadron o.s the
2d, under orders to attack and.burn t!‘e Bt azilian vet-
sels in the port of Colonic. In attempting to carry this
plan into execution, four of the gun boats tell to lee.

General Freyrei the Chilixn Commander, after having
completed the conquest of Chiloe, disembarked with
part of his army at Talcahuano early in January, to cif.
operate with the force engaged in the reductiot of the
rebel Chief Pincheira. It was expected that at his maul
to Santiago he would resign his functions as Supremd
Director of the Republic. The Spanish General Q
uin-
tanilla had fixed his residence in the city of Quillota.

FIELD FLOWERS.
_A.- •
HT THOMAS CAMPSILL, ESC!.

Ye field lowers! the gardens eclipse you, 'tit true,
• Yet, wildings of Nature, I doat upon you,
For ye waft me to summers of old,
When the earth teemed around me with fairy delight,
And when daisies and buttercups gladdened my sight,
Like treasures of silver and gold !
I love you for lulling me back into dreams
Of the blue Highland mountains and echoing streams,
And of broken glades breathing their balm,
While the deer was seen glancing in sunshine (emote,
And the deep mellow crush of the wood-pigeon's note
blade music that sweeteted the calm.
Not a pastoral song has a pleasanter tune
Than ye speak to my heart, little wildings of June ;
Of old ruinous castles ye tell,
Where I thought it delightful your beauties to find,
When the magic of Nature first breathed on my.mind,
And your blossoms were Fart of her spell.
Ev'n now what affections the violet awakes;
What loved little islands, twice seen in their lakes,
Can the wild water-lily restore ;
What landscapes I read in the primrose's looks,
And what pictures of pebbled and minnowy brooks
In the vetches that tangled their shore.
Earth's cultureless buds, to my heart ye were dear,
Ere the fever of passion, or ague of fear,
Had scathed my existence's bloom;
Once I welcome you more, in life's passionless stage,
With the visions of youth to revisit my age,
And I wish you to grow on my tomb!

FROM TUC SUPPLEMENT TO THE MADRAS GOVERN.

LENT GAZETTE OF. FEL S.
We have seen a variety of letters from head quarters
in Ava up to the 6th inst. They all speak confidently
as to the dependence we may place on the preliminary
Meaty being ratified by the Court of Ava. They men-
tion that the Burmese Commissioners fought a stout
diplomatic battle, and reduced our demand from two
to one acne of rupees, pleading most pitiously the po-
verty of the Golden Treasury. From eve' ything that
appeared, the plea is founded in truth, for it seems
agreed on all hands that the resources of the kingdom
ot Ava have been completely exhausted, in making the
stand the Burmese have done. We ussJeistand the
periods of pay:bent are fixed; and until one half is
paid, our troops are not finally to leave the country.—
They ate to remain whet e they are until the ratification,
which is to he accompanied by a payment in part, ar-
rives. Our troops then move down to Pcome, where
they are to remain for a specified period (it is said 100
days), when another • poi tion ot the mlney is to be forth-
coming. They then shop down to Rangoon, stay there
another hundred days, receive another part of the mo-
ney, and move off. By this time one moiety of the
crate will have been paid, and the rest is to be produced
at two instalments.

EAST INDIES.

EXTRACT Or A LETTER ?ROW CALCUTTA.
We congratulate ourselves that, at last, some benefit
is likely to be derived from the expensive war in which
we ate now engaged, by the deputation from Penang,
of a Commissioner to undertake the civil and political
administration of the Provinces of Tavoy and Mergui.
We learn that Mr. Singy, the Gentleman appointed to
this important duty, has arrived, and assumed his
charge, and that this step has excited a most gratifying
feeling among the inhabitants, who have ever since our
occupation of the places been much attached to us, and
have long been looking out for something in the shape
of a fixed and established Government.

We cannot but highly praise the policy of Govern-
ment in retaining possession of these valuable Provinces,
both of which are so admirably calculated for the ex-
tension of our trade, by opening a shorter and more
accessible passage to the Siamese nation, and both of
which are so rich in their own produce.
The tin mines, we understand. are very extensive,
and, as we learn that the most liberable encourage.
ment is given to engage people to work them, they
csniint fail of being' very productive. and of opening a
line field for speculation among our capitalists.
As the measure of sending a Commissioner has been
adopted so very lately, we have not yet seen any de-
tailed account of the value of Tavoy and Mergui, but
from what we knew of them formerly, and that we now
hear, they may confidently be expected soon to become
a great resort of trade.

ICING'S THEATRE.

Madame PASTA took her benefit on Thursday night,
at this Theatre, when Maven's opera Medea in Corinto
was produced-:-its performance was repeated on Satur.
day, and on both occasions ale audience was highly
fashionable and numerous.

The music of this opera possesses distinguished merit,
and Madame PASTA'S personations of Medea place
her at the summit of trag:c excellence: her tone of
submissive entreaty, changed by despair to malignan,
revenge—her haugly y defiance—her fearful bream:46o.;
—the savage joy which illumines her features when the
unseen spirits reply—the agonizing contest between
maternal affection and dreadful revenge, and its
triumph in the destruction of her off4pring, were de-
picted with a truth, a force, and effect, which render
this one of the finest tragic representation; th tt can be
imagined. So splendid a display of genius was attended,
of course, with the most vehement and enthusiastic
applause. After the conclusion of the opera, Ni-rdame
PASTA was conducted across the st rge by Signor Tomtit
and Madame CAKADORI, by Sign ors Centr,Nt and
l'onzo, amidst con.intred plaudits. We have at present
only space to observe, that the exertions of the other
periormers were marked by their usual excellence. A

TOWN-HALL.

Resent Spicks, aged 9 years, was brought up on the complaint of
several of the inhabitants of St. John's, Horselydown, as a public
nuisance. His mother was a pensioner on the parish, and the boy
had been taken into the workhouse, whence he escaped three times
by scaling the wall; it was then heightened by a shamus de fre ure,
when he again surmounted it. A log was fastened to his leg, but
log and all disappeared. Three times was he fitted out for sea, and
three times did he desert—went among prostitutes and thieves—
attempted to stab his mother—and sightly raised the neighbour-
hood by his horrid oaths and imprecations. At the entreaties of
his mother he was allowed one more trial, and sent aboard a vessel
ready for sailing.

HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday, a case was heard at this office, before NV. L. !locus
Esq. wherein the question of the validity or invalidity of a ltomaa
Catholic marriage was again started.
Elizabeth Powell, a young woman dressed rather in the extreme
of fashion, was brought up at the instance of the Overseers of the
parish of St. Pancras, to obtain an award for the maintenance of a
bastard child, of which she was delivered some months back at a
house in the Hampstead-road.
The clerk, who attended on behalf of the parish, stated, that no
demand had been made for subsistence or otherwise by the mother.
but the parish having learned that she was at present living as a
single woman, though she called herself Mrs. Powell, felt them-
selves bound to inquire into the circumstances, with a view to affi-
liating the child, so as to prevent its becoming an incumbrance on
them at any future period.
Mr. Roosas—Does she assert that she is married? _ _

The Parish Clerk—Yes • she states that she was married some
years ago in Ireland; but there is proof that she bas not lived with
the person whom she describes as her husband for the last two
years, during which period the infant was born.
blr. Ilesaas—But it is possible that they might have visited each
other in the interim ?

The Clerk—Certainly, Sir, so it is ; but she admits that the child
is not her husband's. _ _ _

Mr. Boozes—Whose, then, does she say it is?
The Clerk—She says, that since she has been parted from her
husband, she cohabited with a person named Courcy or De Courcy,
who holds some situation in the Royal establishment at Windsor,
and she is now ready to swear that he is the father of the child.
A written statement was then pot in, drawn up udder the dicta.
Lion of Mrs. Powell, which stated that she was married at Fermor,
county of Cork, Ireland, in the year 1815. by a Roman Catholic
Priest; that she was a Protestant, and Powell a Papist. They
came to England about three years ince ; but Powell having some
business to attend to in his native country. was obliged to return
there soon after, since which she had not seen him, though no acA
coal separation had ever been agreed on. In the interim, she con-
tracted an acquaintance with Mr. De Courcy, who held a situation
at Windsor, and who was the father of the child in question.
Mr. Roneas asked her if she was willing to make oath to the
truth of this statement ?
Mrs. Powell, who appeared excessively agitated, replied in the
affirmative; but added, that she could see no reason for the inter-
ference of the parish, as the child never had become chargeable,
and in all probability sever would be any expense to them, or to
any other person but the father.
The Clerk said, that the overseers of the parish only acted in
performance of their duty by doing so.
Mr. Rooaas perfectly concurred in the propriety of their pro-
cedure, and a provisional order of maintenance was made out
against De Courcy, the person named in the deposition of Mrs.
PoweU, and the parties withdrew.

THE SILK TRADE.

:qua misrepresehtation has gone abroad respecting
the *Elite of trade in Coventry, particularly when the
master manufacturers were opposing the new laws rela-
tive to the importation of French silks. In the memorial
of these Gentlemen they stated, that the poor's rate'
had been doubled in consevence of the intended intro.
duction of the measure, and that the workhouse was
overfAving with paupers; yet at the time alluded to, II
the poor's rates had not increased one farthing,
neither did the workhouse contain one more than the
average number of paupers ! Such is a specimen of
the candour of the men opposed to the principles of
free trade.—At the present moment the poor's rates are
high. In some instances they have increased nearly one
half within the last six months. The riband trade, how-
ever, is certainly improving, and the alarm about French
competition has very generally subsided. It is said, in-
deed, that the poor's rates would have been higher had
it not been for the approaching eleCtion. The poor free-
men refrain from taking relief from the parish, as they
would thereby be rendered incapable of voting.
There have been several Meetings of the weavers lately at Co-
ventry, for the purpose of considering of the best means of inducing
the master manufacturers to comply with a certain rate of wages,
which was mutually agreed to, I believe, some years ago. The
masters readily complied with their wishes.

COURT OF ADMIRALTY, Moir SO.
—i..--

Mr. Charles Severne, and :11r. Malcolm Orme, who had been
admitted Proctors in the Court of Arcbes, the last Court day,were
now admitted Proctors of the High Court of Admiralty, after
taking the usual oaths.

THE EALING OROVF.
An application was made in this case on behalf of
James Carman, a seaman belonging to the Ealing drove,
a ship trading to the West Indies, for wages, which was
opposed by the owners, on the alleged grounds that '
the seaman had been guilty of acts of insubordination
when on board the vessel during its voyage, and alter
the vessel had arrived at Dominica, with desertion.
It seems that Carman was engaged, with several
other seamen, to perform the voyage, and in December
last set sail. According to the depositions put forth by
the owners, he was guilty of great impropriety of con-
duct, of frequent intoxication, and exhibited a dissatis-
fied disposition during the voyage. The vessel had not
even left the Downs before he manifested a spirit of in-
subordination, and when on the voyage he often evinced
a headstrong temper. On the arrival of the ship at
Dominica, in February, he went on shore, and stayed
many hours longer thin he was permitted, and refused
to return, so that it became neck Liar y to apply to a
Magistrate, charging him with desertion. He was com-
mitted to prison, and there remained until the vessel
was ready to return to England, when he was taken on
board, and again brought to this country.
Dr. Lusunicrox was heard at some length on behalf of the mari-
ner, and Dr. homes for the owners; after which
Lord Seowax.t. slid, he would take home the papers and peruse
them before he gave his final judgment.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN SHIPPING.

By the amparative statements of British and Foreign
tonnage which have entered the several ports of Great
Britain for the last ten years ending the sth of January,
1826, printed by order of the House of Commons, it
appears that
In 1825 the British amounted to 2,786,844 tons
In 1816 . . 1,966,390

Increase . 819,954, or 4111 per cent.
In 1825 the Foreign amounted t• 892,601 tons.
Is Isis . . : . 317,577

Increase . 575,024, or 181 per cent.
To judge, however, more correctly of the effect
which the reciprocity system has had in increasing the
amount of foreign tonnage employed in the trade of
Great Britain, it becomes necessary to confine the state-
ment to those places from which foreign shipping have
competed with British. From such ports it appears that
In 1825 the British amounted to 1,124,549 tons.
In 1810 750,219

Increase . sm,ssa, or SO per cent.
Foreign tonnage as abov.e. Increase 575,024, or 181 per cent•
So that, although the liberal policy adopted by Great
Britain encouraged the employment of the shipping of
friendly States, yet it appears that a greater portion of
British tonnage was employed in trading with those
States after the new system came into operation.
It further appears, by dissecting the statement, that
the British tonnage employed in trade with places
from which no importations are allowed in foreign
vessels, amounted

In 1645 to .
In ICI to .

. 1,653,295 tons.
. 1,2162671

Increase • 436,624, or 56 per cent.

T being generally understood that Parliament will
be dissolved this week, I propose having the honour of viaiting
immediately your Ancient and Independent Borough, and the gra-
tihca:ien of again paying ray personal respects to every resident
Yiettor, when I cannot doubt to experience the sane general, car-
kind support which I heretofore received, the recollection
of v.hith can never be effaced.

tVc are threatened with a severe contest, but I rely so implicitly
or ) our firm and &meting promises, that I shall go to the Poll, not
rt.rely anticipating success, but with a well grounded confidence
of a trinmphant majecity, honourable to yourselves, and gratifying
to me.

Gentlemen ! When I first solicited the honour of your suffrages,
I assured you that " I WOULD STAND ALOUD." You may safely rely
that I will scrupulously adhere to that determination; no interested
native, no mean individual advantage, shall ever induce me to
compromise your Independence. I require no aid beyond your
generous and zealous support ; pos4essing this, failure is impossible.
Your uniform and voluntary pledges have made me proud and
grateful—and I have too much respect to your feelings and my
own, to dictate to you whom you shall elect in conjunction with me.
I continue to be, Gentlemen,

UNION HALL.

Gough, a constable of Lambeth, yesterday brought to this of-
fice a bundle of clothes, which had been picked up. by a mac
named Fisher, in the Thames, near the Red House, Battersey, ou
Sunday afternoon; and, from the marks of blood upon the articles
of dress, there is every reason to believe that the owner of them
has been murdered.
The constable unfolded the bundle—which was, of course, in a
wet condition, having been kept in the same state as when it was
taken out of the river—and exhibited the clothing before M. Swa-
MT and T. S. Catowett., Esquires. The shirt neck was bloody,
and see of the sleeves; so also were the trousers and the waistcoat.
The latter had sleeves upon it, and was much cut on the rigH arm.
The trousers are drab coloured, and were slit up on one of the sides.
Mr. CA LOW ILL inquired if any mark was found upon the clotia:s,
so as to lead to a discovery to whom they belonged, or if any papers
were found in the pockets?
Googh replied that he found nothing in the pockets, except a slam
pencil. The shirt, he said, was marked W.G. with blue cotton,but
this was the only part of the dress that had any mark upon it.
Mr. Cartowat.s, wished a description of the articles found to be
inserted in the Daily Newsapers, as it might be the means oV bring-
ing the friends of the individual forward, who, it was to be iearckt,
had been murdered. In this wish Mr. Swain joined.
The waistcoat is striped with blue, having upon it plain gilt but-
tons. Neither hat nor coat were found. The clothes seems to I..kve
been worn a good deal, and evidently belonged to a small-sized man.

SOme thieves broke into the house of Mr. Bonney,
the Artichoke, Virginia•row, Bethnal•green, on Tuesday
morning, between the hours of one and five o'clock,
and after regaling themselves in the bar, took from
thence a basket full of halfpence, the till, containing a
quantity of silver and copper, several articles of wearing
apparel, a piece of yellow silk, and some cordials.

knocked hint backwards into a tub of melted fat, and ran away,
leaving his dip to follow as he might. Unluckily, however, he sea
lected Bow-stteet itself as the way by which to make his escsee.
This was running into the lion's mouth with a vengeance ; 11:.1f
dozen officers started after him on the alarm being given, and he
was secured forthwith. Martin, who seemed much annoyed
having his wick-ed works thus brought to tight, said but little in his
defence, but made his bow and retired.

Mitt embracing nutter of the Most imporpt character. the,
amendment ftUed on a large number of oew blenlbets, who bad
never haeati opportunity of hearing those subjects discussed, to
vote for a proposition longer than the Speech itself. He (Mr.
Caicraft) had constantly voted for the reduction of taxation. He
considered the Corn Laws injurious, and should vote against
those laws; but he could not consent to take the composition pro.
posed by his Hoe. Friend. On the subject of the army he must
declare, that until be saw some better system adopted than that
pursued by Government, for giving security to Ireland, he felt that
a large force must be kept up in that country. It was not his fault
that Government pursued the system which he copsidered detri-
mental to the interests of Ireland; but he thought the House of
Commons could not deviate from the course of the last Parlia-
ment, which bad decided that the military force of the country
could net be diminished. He should not vote for reduction of the
army until lie saw the course to be taken by his Majesty's Govern-
meat. One thing connected with the reduction of the army was
economy. They must also look to foreign affairs. Bring gene-
prally a friend to almost aU the topics introduced into the amend-
ment, he could not pledge himself to the details without-at least
an examination of them. He should, therefore, rest on his charac-
ter with the public, net fearing it would be thrown in his face, that
he was not the advocate for reduction of taxation, and pre-
ferring a course in which he should be unfettered, vete for the
Address, to which he saw no objection.
Sir R. FERGUSON ported the Address, and reserved to
himself the right of voMg as be might think proper when the
great topics mentioned in the amendment were regularly brought
for ward.
Alderman WOOD expressed surprise that his Bon. Friend, the
Member for Wareham, bad found it necessary to give his reasons
for not supporting the amendment. Ile himself was favourable to
the amendment, and should give it his support.
Mr. 1J NETT (of Wilts) opposed_ the amendment, guarding
himself against any pledge upon points which must occupy the
future.consideration of the House.
The question was then called for, and the House divided

minded the approbation of the House for the policy they
then pursued. No men deserved better of their country
thAn did Ministers on that occasion; and no men were

mote lastly entitled to an unanimous Indemnity Bill from both
Houses of Parliament. For that reasos he would support the Ad-
_dress of the Noble Earl (Conswallb). He toorthat opportunity of
bearing testimony to the patient forbearance and amenity to tee
laws of the suffering manufacturers, so deserving of the admiration
of the House and the country—( Hear.)
The Earl of LIVERPOOL did not wish to prolong
this discussion, after the course which had been adopted
by the Noble Baron. The Address was so framed as to
render any opposition to it unnecessary. With respect
to the amendment which the Noble Lord had proposed,
the topics it embraced were of a character to ensure to
it the condemnation of the House, embodying such opi-
nions as it did for discussion without notice. When the
proper opportunity presented itself, he would not fail to
express his sentiments upon the present subject; but as
this was not the time for doing so, be would not now
enter into any observations upon it. With respect to
any address to be proposed when the Order in Council
was laid before the House, that was not the regular
course to pursue ; but it was to be followed by an Act of
indemnity, and when that Act came before their Lord-
ships, it would then be in their power to move whatever
resolutions they might think proper. It was only further
necessary for him to remind their Lordships of what
they ought not'to have forgotten, that one fortnight of,
last summer was as alarming to this country as had
ever been experienced in any country in the world; and
also to remind the House of the change which subse-
quently took place in this country, and that more import-
ant still which had occurred in Ireland. With regard to
the suggestion thrown out by the Noble Duke respect-
ing the currency, he (Lot d Liverpool) had the misfor-
tune to differ with him upon that subject ; but this was
not the time to enter upon its discussion. The same
observation applied to that most important subject, the
Corn Laws; and he only rose now to say that this Par-
liament was carted in November under peculiar cir•
cumstances for a special purpose, but he here gave notice
that at the earliest possible period after the recess, it was his inten-
tion to bring forward that most important subject for the consider-
ation of the House.

The original motion was then put
Oa the motion of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, the Earl of
Larrasatray was appointed Chairman of Committees.
On the motion of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, the Standing
niers of the House were ordered to be retained.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

This being the day appointed for his Majesty's open.
ing the present Session of Parliament, with a Speech
from the Throne, the gallery was crowded at one o'clock,
and at ten minutes to two the Speaker took the Chair.
At two o'clock precisely the Usher of the Black Rod
appeared at the bar, and summoned the House to attend
in the other House, and hear the Speech from the
Throne. On the Speaker's return, the House proceeded
to swear in Members, and were occupied in so doing
until half-past five o'clock, among the Members sworn
in, we noticed •

Sir Charles Grenville, Mr. Stuart Wortley, Sir Gerard Noel,
Lord E. Somerset, the Hon. Mr. Curt, Sir John Sebright, Lord
Nugent, the Marquis of Worcester, Mr. Charles Grant, and Sir
George Clerk.

The Speaker then proceeded to read the usual Sessional orders.
The Clandestine Outlawry Bill was read a first, and ordered to
be read a second time. The Customary Committees were ap-
pointed, and ordered to sit on certain days.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

Consols, which were in the earlier part of the morning at 73t0
for the Account, have receded to 731, and may be quoted the same
for Money ; th. cause of this trivial decline is owing to a report
from India, by a Letter from Vellore, dated the lOth March, in
which is. added a Postscript, stating that our Army under Sit
AacuaaLD tasirsitz. had been entirely defeated. There is no
doubt of the above Letter having been received, but there is not
the least truth in the Postscript, as several letters have been re-
edited from Madras, dated the 14th and 15th March, which do not
mention one word about this rumour. On the contrary, ono lener
of the 15th March states, that Sir Aactintano Csatsses.x. was pro-
circling on towards the Burmese capital; and it was expeaNd be-
fore he arrived there the Burmese would offer to make pease.
