London dates two days later than before re-
ceived, have arrived since our last.
The papers furnish, among other
things of some interest, proclamation
of the Spanish king, issued at Cadiz the
30th Sept. which, if understood, (of
which there are some doubts) is diamet-
really at variance with the DEGREES of
the lst and 4th of October, and indi-
Gates that he does not know his own
mind from day to day. He was post
ing on to Madrid. Several of the strong
holds had opened their gates in obe-
dience to his orders.-lt was reported.
that Riego had been condemned 10 death
at Madrid, but was reprieyed on account
OF confessions which implicated two or
three hundred persons, and among them
Ballasteros. The reports were from a
very questionable source.
In Paris it is asserted, in the best in
formed circles, that treaty has already
been concluded between France and
Spain, by which it is agreed that the re-
duction of The Spanish American Colo
MES to legitimate authority is to be at
tempted
From the London San. Oct. 4.
Attempts will no doubt be made by
the French to prevent Ferdinand from
ratifying the treaty with Bucnos Ayres;
but though the effect of the convention.
so far as relates to a suspension of hos
tillties, may be destroyed, the main fact,
vlz.-the recognition of the indepen
dence OF the Colonies, by Spain, will
not and cannot now be altered insomuch
as the act of recognition was completed,
6y entering into the treaty, and even
by the appointment of Commissioners,
empowered TO treat.-In the case of
PRONUNCIATION of royal decree for en-
tirely annulling the acts of the Cortes,
1t is unnecessary to say that such a
proceeding would be regarded with III
ter contempt on the part of G. Britain,
and that any attempt TO enforce its ex-
ecution on points involving her hononr
or Interests, or the independence of
South America, would be promptly and
ethcaclously resisted by her, even if il
should become necessary to support her
determination by war.
A letter from Madrid, Oct. 9Th saws,
" A very remarkable difference of O.
pinlon exists respecting the consequences
that will be produced by the liberty of
the king. At the first news of this
event, the general cry was all is over.'
but Judging by the irritation of parties g.
the confusion and anarchy that contin-
ues, some consider that that all IS not
get oOer.'
LONDON, Oct. l8.
capt. Parry arri we'd this morning at
the Admiralty.
The public regret that Capt Parry
has not been able to accomplish the
North West Passage, will be amply
compensated by the general pleasure
which will be felt at the safe return Of
this gallant officer and his brave com
panions.
In 1921, the expedition explored Re-
pulse Bay, Sir Thomas Roe's Welcome.
Middleton's Frozen Strait, and that
neighborhood, and finding no passage
to the northward and westward, win
tered in the southern bay Of an Island,
called Winter Island, in lat. 66. IL. long.

encouraged by the information they
had received during the winter, from a
party of Esquimaux, with whom they
