The British ship Of war Romney, arrived at New


York. on Friday evening, landed Col. Cockburn,
IS. McClvray, Esq Sir John Hervey, John Calf
and John Davidson Esq. the Canada Commission
ers and after firing salute proceeded directly To-
Bermuda The Romney brings London dates to
the 18th OF Jan.
We learn verbally by this arrival that although
the British government had not formally RECOGNISED
the independence of Buenos Ayres and Chill, yet
orders had been sent to its agentsin those countries
to form treaties with them, whenever they should
deem it proper
The irig ate Egeria left Plymouth in company
with the Romney bound to Carhagena, to land
Col. Campbell, and thence to Vera Cruz, with the
Commissioners for Mexico.
The King Of Naples and Sicily is no more!
Letters from Paris, say that Commissioners were
Immediately to proceed to St. Domingo, Tor the
purpose of acknowledging the independence OF
Hayti'
The French papers continued to complain OF the
British act with respect to South America. The
Etoie says, " The principles OF Austria RUSSIA and
Prussia, as we'll as France, at variance with what
she has DONE IL her object be commerce, France
never will consent that she slipulate for exclusive
privileges. Considered in political point, England
has committed dangerous ACT by the example
which is thus given to her own colonies"
Its officially announced that $4,000 French troops
will remain in Spain, and occupy Cadz, the lsla,
Barcelona, Urgel, Jaca, and Figueras. They arc
to be wholly at the expense of Spain.
Paris papers to the l2,h had been received in
London. They suggest the probability OF a mis-.
understanding between England and the Holy ALI
ance, in consequence of the recent recognition OF
some Of the South American Provinces.
The Paris Quotidienne, OF Jan. 10, says that the
Representatives of the Holy Alliance met the day
before yesterday, and that note was sent to the
Cabinet oil St. James, on the subject OF ITS determI-
nation as to South America. The Quolidienne says
this determination is strange one; the Etoe
breaks out into threats against England.
London, jan 10.
Not even the South Sea Bubble, when at its ex
trcme height, presented such scene OF insane ca
gerness, as that which now prevails in the foreign
mining fever. On Saturday, shares in the Real del
Monte Mines, which TO are paid, were sold at
1880. To-day they have been current at 500 gul-
neas-and not to be had. A noble Earl, coming 10
the prudent resolution of realizing, is confidently
said to have sold Saturday, no shares at | 500
guineas each Assuming the fact as stated clear
profit OF l40,000 sterling is thus sacked, bya Noble
man already possessing one OF the largest landed
and personal properties in the kingdom And from
what pockets are these enormous sums extracted
These OF the creduous part OF Society, who signing
over the reduction of interest consequent on the
prosperous condition of the country, are tempted to
indulge in species OF specula ion that may be just
lily termed insane. From all parts OF the country
orders pour in upon the bankers, for investments
these bubbles, which sooner or later will swallow up
the property OF thousands OF individuals. To what
extent they may be yet blown up de6es conjecture
that in the sequel they burst is inevitable, and
in some hands they must be, at that fatal moment.
Were the desperate gambling in these iusory pro
jects confined to the dealers and jobbers-it would
matter but little to the public. But the FIRST capita
lists, bankers, merchants, and our monied nobility
all unite to blow the bubbs--and having swelled IL
to suitable dimensons-eel not the slightest gudtn
in putting their hands into the pocket OF a credulous
public. Country folks, seeing the names Of mer-
tchans and bankers, to a prospectus, follow like
sheep over fence little suspecting that the authors
OF the plan are the first TO cut and run Tor pre-
MUM.
Dissentions yet exist among the Greeks. 1t is
said that Paso Colocotroni has recently been killed
in private combat.
| An alarming fever is said to have broken out a,
IConstantinope.
| The following is the substance of the communi
cation made by Mr.. Canning to the Foreign Am.
bassadors -" That in consequence of the repeated
failures OF the applications Of his Maesty's Govern
men 10 the Court OF Spain, relative to the recogni
ton OF the independent states of South America
his Malesty's servants have come to the determine
ton TO appoint Charges d'Affairs to the states oil
Colombia, Mexico, and Buenos Ayres, and to enter
into treaties Of commerce with those respective
states, on the basis of the recognition of their indie
lpendence." NJ /. .uer. .4dr.
