THE STATESMAN:

am! toe fa,t heir of that family must be sought out, or some
oce foood who will swear, to the satisfaction of the Holy
Allier, that we shall be governed quite as infamously as any
scion of the house of Stuart could govern ! We hope these
,roiced and sceptered fools will proceed with their out-
rages to common sense, that the world may by effectually
roused to pinion them like Ferdinand of Spain, and pre-
vent them from being mischievous as well as ridiculous.—
Jt bedlam for its Royal inhabitants, would be the best insti.
pities for contieentel Europe :—and when they next meet
in Congress, if an army of :masons would march to wall.
them in, and put them in strait waistcoats if they were
boisterous, the tranquillity of Europe would bare some
chaos of being restored.

• The New Times, finding foreign hoaxes in favour of
Bourbon policy will net succeed, tries one of its own this
morning, against the holders of Spanish Bonds ; which
having advanced to 37t, he says is " a price which in any
' creams), be considered their utmost valve." He goes on
to add, that " many years must elapse before the finances of
" Spain can be placed on such a footing as to pay the haw-
! est of the debt with regularity, much less to dischuge
*the principal. The restoration cif the royal government
doubtless, tend to improve and bring into order the
It" resources of the kingdom; but when a country has so long
* suffered from misgovernment and civil dissention, it
" would be vain to expect an immediate renovation of its
4, public credit from any charge, however wise of salutary."
There is a pretty slave, who has recourse to downright
falsehood, and wilfat lying, in the hope that he may
'deceive. The only ground of confidence in the
value of the Spanish Bonds, is that the royal
government may woe be restored. If by any mis-
chance it should loe so, the church lands, and national do•
mains, pledged by the Cortes as security to the hollers of
the bonds, would be restored to the church and the royal
government. In all probability the bonds would be alto-
gether disowned; and it is certain, if they were not, that
the interest would never be " regularly" paid. The
Cortes, if the Constitutionalists succeed, will be soon in a
' condition to defray both principal and interest; fur the
amount of the debt is trifling, and a few years of tranquillity
would suffice for the liquidation. But suppose it admitted,
that the principal never would be p 'id, why are the bond-
bolder, ins worse condition than the fondlsolders of Eng-
land? Our debt will never be paid. The most sanguine
loyalist never hopes that it can be, in his wildest dreams of
British prosperity. The King never says that it will, in
any of Isis " speeehes;" and yet, in these smooth " piping
" times of peace," the funds rise, and while the interest is
paid, the principal is never thought about. The idea of a
' royal government, and particularly under such a thing as
Ferdinand, improving and bringing into order the resources
of a country, is sublimely ritlienlous. The only government
that thrii es in the financial way, is America; and there
they are luckily without a royal government, and make

shift with a much mote economical tradesman like system:
probably not being able to perceive, that to pay a great
many expensive and useless officers, is the best way to'
" imp roe" resources! The sum osid, indirectly and di-
rectly, to the ll'ea Times for its royal and loyal stuff, is
reported to be between eight and nine thonasnd pounds ;
and we dare say that it thinks this an excellent mode of
improving the national resources in a= royal guvernment."

Arrived yesterday, from Bahia, important intelligence to
the 23d ult. announcing the capitulation of that place, and
constituently the subduction of the whole country of the
Brazil's from the authority of the King of Portngal, and its
Establishment, as a separate Monarchy, under his son, the
Emperor of the Brazils.
On Saturday were received letters from Caracas, dated
July 3, together with files of papers from that place up to
the same date. Geo. Bolivar, by the last accounts, was at
Guayaquil, from whence he had sent 6,000 men to aid the
Republic of Peru, and it was thought probable that be
would accept their invitation to command their armies.—
Maracaibo had been invaded ly the Colombian troops from
Santa Martha, ender the immediate command of General
Gomez (who defeated Murillo at Margarita in 1817) Ad-
miralPadillo having previously forced the bar °eit hMay, to
cooperstewith him, and embarked Gen. Mathew with two
battalions at Moporo. Every thing was tranquil in the rest
of the. Republic.
Yesterday, New York papers to the 25th ult. were re-
ceived at the New England Coifesitiouse. Their contenta
are unimportant. The Commissioners for ascertaining.
• claims antler the treaty with Spain, renewed their sittings
at Washington on the 11th. A destructive fire occurred
• at Philsdelphia.(in the not them liberties) en the Nth, by:
which 20 valuable buildings acre destroyed, and • loss
of property caused exceeding to,oofd dollars. It is stated"
• to have been the most serious calamity otthe kind since the.
- great conflagration in Duck-street.

The Governor and House of Assembly of the island of
Tobago appear to be involved in serious differences, 0
some encroachments which the Governor is char ged wi

Adeices of the beginning of Jane. received from Ake
audits, state that the plague was making dreadful ravages
in that capital. particularly among the vessels in the road.
More than 20 English, Swedish, and Italian vessels, were
infected with that destructive malady.
• Letters from Madrid say, that all persons who had been
detained in prison are set at liberty. It is reported,
that an important personage said to the Regency, that it
s%has suede more Constitutionalists in 3 months, than the.
'-C, restitution itself made in 3 years.

, 78, eommanded by Captain Sir Charles Burrard, Bart.
(which ship arrived on Monday, from Chatham), as Commander
in Chief in the Mediterranean, to which station the Revenge
will proceed when the wind is fair. It is expected that Sir
George Naylor sod Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt will proceed in her
to Lisbon, for the purpose of investing the King of Portugal
with the Order of the Garter. They will return home in the
Hussar.
General Romayo, and the ollicers who came to this country,
from Spain, in the Royal George steam-packet, hate left this

HAMA. JuNE 451.—" The Tartar. it is sal4, will go to Rio as
soon as the Creole rejoins from thence, to take Sir Thomas
Hardy's pendant • and it is probable that she may go round
Cape Horn shortly. The Beaver goes to Rio to-day, and there
wait further orders. It li likely that she will be soon dis-
patched to England. At Bahia, Tartar, Commodore Sir
Thomas Hardy. Captain T. Brown : Doris. Beaver (sails lo-

The Supiter has left Rio, with Lord Amherst, for the East In-
dict. Mr. Mathias, Midshipman of the Doris. to be Lieuten-

invalided."

The French news from " the camp before Corunna
comes dean to the 2711, alt, They there state they were
roing to bombard it on the following day, that is the 2Sth,
if it did not surrender. ' The Royal George steam packet
left it on the 30th, two days after this threat was to have
been executed; and font days after that period, the French
were waiting for heavy artillery. The falsehood and pueri-
lities of the French papers betray their weakness still more
then their inaction.
TheFrenrh have had a foretaste of what will be the conse-
quence of their restoring Ferdinand, when they accomplish
that object, and evacuate Spain, in an event which tank
I place at Luarca, in the Asturias, where the French were
" welcomed as deliverers," and " embraced with tears of ,
" joy." Profiting inonedintety by the absence of any
" *efficient milit iry force, smite of the intiabitants left their
" houses, PROCEEDED TO RI-ERUCT THE 'rex e OF THE
" CONSTITUTION, AND CO3ININCEDRY THROWING THE 111" ST
"or Tat KING INTO Tilt SCA." This is Preach news !--
They add, of coarse, that the movement was eeptessed„ by
an appeal of the Governor to the Royalist inhabitants,
" who every where form the great majority ;"--bat this
only shews how daring the revolutionists are, and how Wt.
Ile they dread the " great majority" against them. These
are the scenes that will occur in every town, when the
French retire from R.
A correspondent remarks that the flight of the Spanish
'Cortes mnst precede the liberation of the King of Spain ;
or it might be prevented. They have long detained the King
agait:st Isis will; and he would doubtless return the column-
/tient with regard to them. Our currespandent alsa remarks
that when the Cones fly, they had better take the King
a ith them, out of mere policy to prevent a pursuit; as the
French blockading squadron would hardly encounter the
horrible chance of sinking a vessel containing the
sacred person of the ling.
STOCK EXCHANGX.—An application has lately been made
by Mr. Butt to 67 Charitable institutiono,demandi ng a sum ,
of money in their possession belonging to that gentleman,
arising omit of property forcibly seized from his Stock
Broker by a body of men calling themselves a Committee
of the Stork Exchange. We cannot imagine bow this
money, arising from time hargains,could lawfully be seized
by other parties after payment, by the individuals hosing
it, and how the charities can retain it. Ire trust for the
hau,,er of the Stock Exchange, the house will review these ' ,
proceedings, and clear themselves from so foul a charge
made by Mr. Butt, as the public are already sufficiently
apprised, that if bargains made by parties are ta be thus
violated by seizure after payment, there is no securty for
any future claim made within the calls of that house, by
any broker or party connected within kt. Such glaring
acts at once doing away all confidence, toil should put the
public on their guard, as well as calling forth the necessity
of legislative interference, by putting down these improper
proceedings, which can only he done by closing the doors
or throwing them open to the public.

Stamen CAVSIL—The small town of Kileinning has re•
mitted 211. to the Editor of the Scotsman, as patter a sub•
scription which was commenced in that place, for the sup-
port of Spanish independence against the machinations and
active interference of that infernal Alliance which styles
itself Holy. Nothing can be a stronger proof of the excel-
kat feeling in foveae of the Spaniards, which does so much
honour to Scotland. than that ISI. of this subscription
has been made up of contributions from 6.1. tors. chiefly
from mechanics and labouring artisans.—Not a shilling
was given by the Kilwinning Tories.
A subscription in aid of the Spanish patriots was opened
on the dth instant at Hawick ; and it gives es pleasure to
state, that the Town Council of 'bat boqgb, at a meeting
called on purpose, and by a vote nearly numinous, sub.
saibed IQf. out of the town's funds. Twenty-five pound%
were collected epos the first proposal of the measure ; and
it was rapes tad Slat a considerable earn would be raised
before the sobscriptioo was closed. •

LIMERICK. AUGUST 13.—IMPOSTANT
Godfrey Massey, Esq. in coosequeoce of information re-
ceived by bins, proceeded on Friday night with a party of
the Lancers, and Mr. Smith, Police Officer, to the nergh-
boorhood of Newcastle, and succeeded in apprehending 10
men, charged positively with being the principals in all tke
violent outrages committed in this county for the last 14
montbs--such as murders, burniags, and robberies of
cattle. The information was received from one of the party,
and this apprehension, it is mow considered, will completely
restore the county to peace sod quiet—a matter most de-
voutly to be wished. On Sunday night, the same party
proceeded in another direction, and also succeeded in taking
taking seven more of the same gang.--(limerick Citron.)
A very extraordinary miracle, supposed to be performed by
the celebrated Prince Ifohenlolie or rather by the interposition
of those prayers which he ordered to be offered up by the par-
ties on whom the miracle was wrought, is now the subject of
intense thought and conversation in every circle in Dublin.—
The miracle was wrought on a young lady of the name of
Stewart, a nun in the convent of Ranetagh, near Dublin. In
our next number we hope we shall he able to give a clear and
satisfactory detail of the most respectable evidence in support
of this miracle. That the evidence should he clear, and the
character of that evidence of the :midst respectable kind, is ad-
mitted by all parties. We have been informed that Fab evi-
dence will be produced—when it appears, we shall give our
opinion of its conclusiveness to the satisfaction of every im-
partial man—we say we shall give that opinion without the
smallest inclination to any religious denomination wkuttever.—
