THURSDAY ►%6!IIPIC. APRIL 6. 1520.

The 6.llowing interesting I:.tle•r lati been handed
to us from Philadelphia this morning. of the 9th
March :

" The news from Spain, which reel4.:ed tr, has
excited a very considerable sensation througl:ont
this coutinent : ell appear to wait wit!: anxiety tl:e
confirmation of an event which has been
pat( d by all parties with a greater or less degree •
of conlii:eilee ; Wail+ intelligence should come to
us anthem:rated, durirg the present Session of
Coegress, it is probable we shall. without further
hesitation or ceremony, salsow ledge the inde-
pendence of South America. It is hardly comely-
able tat our Administration would renew a discus-'

sion with whatever Government sneeeetied to that

terminable length. lia new (3overnment should be
toutaled in the Peii;nalita, there should be no ob-
-14...a1i0n our purl to restrain an Ltknowledg-
meat of the intleixt:dei et. of Retail America.--
Indeed, we have done already every thing.
but to make this aeitiiim led:zit:cid. The South
American flag has so tar Let .n reco,rnized by
our Covernmeta ;:s to obtain admission into

our ports, like the thig of other i:dereadeut
Powers. We have already Consuls, or Commercial
Agents, :Trended by the Coven-anent to reside ut
those places, which is of itself an act tantamount
to an acknowledgment. If we have not, in so
many words, made such a e, darution, we have
been, by such regulations, gradually preparing the
way for such an e%eut. 5,, far our own Administra-
tion has e walked hand-in-hand with the English
Ministry, who have appointed Consuls. or Com-
mercial Agents, to reside in South America. The
two o:bluets stint, on perfectly to
harmonize together: and, juigiug from the con-
duct of the English Ilieistry, they are as hostile
to the policy of FI.NDINAND as our own. In
the Parliamentary debntbs, the leaders of the'
Opposition speak in terms of unexampled harshness I
of the Spanish Monarch, and his Majesty is never
defended by the Ministry ; he is given up to the
scorn, contempt, and bureting,s of the Opposition,
without one word said in his defence. The Mi-
nisterial Meml.ers i.reserse tl e nest pro% cling and I
insulting silence, whenever they are called upon j
by the popular party to defend the character of;
FERDINAND ; but if the intelligence Nevised Le j
true, if there is a Revolution in the Peninsula itself, !
it seems highly probable that both England and the
United States will acknowledge the independence
of the South American Republics. as this has been I;
absolutely done by both these Governments already.
In case Spain herself has undergone a Revolution,
they will neither of them have any motive to hold
back any longer. Nor is this the policy of Eng-
land and of the United States alone, Europe seems ,
perfectly to harmonize with hate two Pow ers !
for there is not a single S ivereign on the Con- I
tinent disposed to offer tke hand of assistance to j
his Catholic Majesty for the recovery of his South
American dominions. lo fact, those provinces are
now sastantirlly independent, and they only wail
an idle acknowledgment to be recognized as such
by other nations.
' "It is now reduced almost to a certainty that
Spain will news be able to recover the possession
of her South American provinces; her exertions to
obtain this object have been so powerless and so
abortive as to have excited the contempt and ridi-
cute of the whole civilized world ; the South Ante-
! rictus have nothing to fear but from themselves;

The King of Prussia was seized with so much
alarm on receiving the first accounts of the new
turn which affairs were taking in Spain, that he in-
stantly prohibited every allusion to Spain in the
Prussian Journals. He had before interdicted the
English Journals in Prosia.
We are happy to to enabled to contradict the
report mentioned in acme of the Papers of yester-
day, of the sudden demise of the Marquis of Hert-
ford, on Tuesday night, at Hertford House. His
Lordship was yesterday Th better health and spirits
than he had been for acme time.

Robert Owen, Esq., of New Lanark, has re-
mitted to Provost Boyd 1001. to be applied to cha-
ritable purposes. It is understord that similar do-
nations have been given to each of the burghs of
Selkirk, Lanark, and Peebles.
The American frigate Guerriere, and brig Spark,
sailed up the Mediterranean from Gibraltar, on the

Commodore Stewart, for America. On the 18th,
the corvette Peacock was lying at Gibraltar.

His Majesty the King or Prussia has recently tee-
! tilled his sense of the kindness shown by the Bri-
tish nation to his subjects ander the devastating
consequences of the dreadful battles fought in the
'years 1813 and 1814, by presenting to the Honorary
Secretaries of the subscription for that purpose,
rings or gold snuff-boxes elegantly ornamented
with his Majesty's initials in diamonds. These
were accompanied by letters written by his High-
ness Prince Hardenberg, by command of his Ma-
jesty, and were transmitted through the means of
the Prussian Ambassador, Baron Butow.

ItoSeri Bruce, of Kennet, Esq. has been elected

On Wednesday the 29th ult. the election of a
Member of Parhameut for the county of Nairn
took place at Nairn, when the Hon. George Prvse
Campbell, Captain in the Navy, second son of LOrd

tive for that County.
A good deal of misrepresentation has been cir-
culated respecting the populace of Renfrewshire.
It has been said that the whole of the finch-pins
were taken out of Sir M. S. Stewart and Sir J.
Maxwell's carriages. So far from this being the
case, Sir M. S. Stewart had no carriage at Renfrew
on that day. There was but one pin taken from
Sir John's carriage, and there is no reason to be-
lieve that it was not done by other people then the
weavers. The great multitude which attended
behaved in a more orderly manner than was gene-
rally expected.—(Gluegoic (7tronicle.)
Joseph Hurne, Esq. is re-elected Member for the
Montrose District of Burghs. Never was there
such an universal feeling in favour of any candi- '
date in Scotland, as has been manifested for Mr.
Hume. The whole population of the different
Burghs have greeted him whenever he appeared,
and the election may be denominated the triumph
of principle and independence over wealth and
Ministerial influence. It is a proud day to Mr.
Hunme, and to those who have chosen him, and it
would be happy for millions, if such an example
was followed by electors in general.
Monday and Tuesday a number of Spanish Gen•
tlemen, resident in this country, went to the house
of the Duke de San Carlos, the Spanish Ambassa.
dor, Portland-place, and took the oaths according

Intelligence from Rome mentions the discovery
of a conspiracy among the galley-slaves at Civita
' Vecchia, which extended beyond the attainment of
their individual liberty. These men, to the number
of 1,50 u, had, by great labour and perseverance,
excavated &passage from their place of confinement
beyond the outer walls of the prison; but at the
moment when they were about to enjoy the fruits
of their exertions, one cf them, in the hope of a
free pardon, betrayed his companions. Their pro-
ject was to march in a body to Rome, where they
hoped to surprise the guards, and by opening the
prison doors, increase the number of their party.
It is said that they had prepared a sketch of a
Constitution, which they intended to proclaim in
Rome, and hoped, by rallying around them all the
lower classes of society, to succeed in forming a
Republic.
The banditti in the neighbourhood of Rome are
represented as renewing their depredations upon
travellers. Some of them have been wouuded in
an aft'', with the military, and a chief, named Ri-
naldi, was killed.
On Tuesday last, three manufacturers were con-
victed hefore the Magistrates, at the Town-hall,
Sheffield, in the penalty of la each, for ha►ing
