The 51e4rid Gazette Qs thoughtl proper to ce+ttlist, at
onside/Ate length,. the itegnments in feione of Smith •
American ina*Ptlladefire advanced be that Radical English
roomer, Ml:Courier. Little did we expect,. „ year 62,
to h.ar that moat:oil eons of all terms applied so liberally to
our courtly contemporary.
Yesterday afternoon, about • half past two o'clock, the
Oda of York arrived in town from the seat of the Earl of
gesmosiolosi in Northamptonshire.
Among time late arrivals from Spain, is Don T. M. Alcala
Caliano, the eloquent leader of the moat liberal party in the
owes.
The Duke of Somerset has subscribed 2U. to, Lord
Erskine's Monument, accompanied by this just eologinin
on his character, that he did so in testimony of his respect
for his brilliant talents, and more especially for the hem•
am and courage with which lie maintained the intlependt
rcce of the Bar.
A letter from Paris, dated Wednelday last, states that
srcounte had been received of the embarkation of 1.9(11)
nea at Brest—LOCO fur Mertinirre, awl SOO for tiliadas
lerpe. It is understood tbat our Ambassador at Paris
Pas received explanation. frntn the French Government, on
the subject of this repo talon, who is assured that it is
malady intended :or those islands, anii that it has no retie.
tau whatever to the events passing in Sonth Ani-rica.
The seine letter states, that time French Admiral, receutly
wormed to Brest, from the West India station, has
r.ciarnl that complete "anarchy exist. in all the South
° American S.. ,es; but, that although there are to be
hood in the different provinces p artisans of every
o political seer, from Royalists to Republicans, yet none
•' advocate tither time sovereignty of Ferd nand, or sub-
ai.ion to Spain." This opinion, coming from such a
c:trter, together with the speech of the American Presi
ant, is said ro have greatly cool:d the ardour of the party
is the Vreneli Cobiort disposed to assist Spain in regamiiilec
4AWA.IiOII of those provinces.
BaroNNE, JAN. I.—We had no mail from Spain to .lay,
ha a courier has arrived from Madrid, who says, that
after a very animated conversation between the King and
Lim brothers, in a hick the infant Don Francis m mite some
eery strung observations, time Prince has been exiled to
Nudes. Ilia Royal Iliglineas is looked upon as the
Lit,bot and most humane of time family.
We have heard through a private channel that up to
tie last advice% from Demerara, the white pooulatio r of
Colony rernaiiied in a state of high ex operation
against the Missionaries. This may be explained, ne
usiirrstand, both by the danger in which the lives and pro-
perty oldie Colonists were placed by the recent in•urrection
aid the prey. knee of free opinions on religious subjects
among the better classes of society in that Istaed. The trial
o; Mr. Smith by a Court Martial, which his Wends at home
complain of, should therefore, we think, be consi•
demi a proof nut only of the wise discretion of the
Governor, hot of his Excellency's anxiety to obtain for
that pious Gentleman the most impartial investigation of
the very serious charge under which he is arraigned.
