srDlont, TUesdlay, June 1.-The King took his ac- t airing in his phaetoin this moning in WVindsor cra i.trk, and afterwards alighted At tle Royal Lodge. I, he brisgb- at Wit.dsorr was opened this day nt 12 o'clock. 'rhe Nfayor qj4 Corporadon assenmbled in their robes, and recesvedl the key to open the gates of the bridge from Mr. Hollis, the archu5cet. The guns were fired in honour of the occasion. An 7bnmenise e)ncourse of spectators were collected from all paris fo witness the ceremony. The *Windsor coach and passenktrs esme over the bridge last night for the first time. Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, the Duke of York held a levee as Commander-in-Chief, at his office in the H-arse Guards. It is stated in letters from Paris received yesterday, t'kat ;n application has been madle by the King of Spain to the French GovernmQnt for permission to purchlase five ships of war, to -le employed against South America. The ap- pli,ation, it is said, has been positively refused by the French Mbilisters, who have transmitted information of the circumstanice to the English Cabinet, aecompanied with professions of their disposition to adhere to the posi- tion laid down by AMr. Canning, viz. that Spain, if inclined to attempt the re-conqtiest of her late colonies, should be left wholly to her own resources. The proposed experiment laving been mnade, and all hope having now ceazed that Spain cani be iniducedl on any terms to fake the lead in acknowledging the independence of the Soutlh Americau States, the public anxiety becomes daily more intense to ascertain the course now intended to be pursued by Ministers. We are enabled to state, that the present delay in asking iniformation of Ministers on the subject, by members ot the Hou'e oof Commons favourable to the South American emancipatioiu, has"arisen from the expectation that such istelligence may arrive from the countries in questionl as may renAer far more clear the pro- per course to be pursuedl. Owing to the prevalence of con- trary'winds, an unusudly long period has elapsed withouat aniy arrivals from South Atnerica or from Mexico; but every day may be expected to put an elld to this urncer- tainty. At. all events, we understand that the session will not be allowed to terminate without a cleat explanation of the pro'pable relations of England with those countries. 'lheplan for forming wvet docks at St, Catherine's is osnly abandoned for tnh present. . A new application to Parlia- ment for that purpose will, it is announced, be mnade next session. 'We are informed tbat the European lady who accompa- nied their Sandwich Majestics to the play on Monday, was Mrs. Stasbeck, the wife of Captain Starbeck, in whese vessel they camc to this country. Colonel Palmer presented a petition, on1 'Monday night, from Bath, relative to the Court-martial.on Smith the Misionary.
