It was announced yesterlay that the Rinaldo packet from Jamaica had arrived at Falmouth, after the very quick voyage of 27 days from Kingston, but the letters were not delivereL. The principal facts which have transpired are the arrival of Major CAMPBELL and of Mr. WILDmAN, M.P, and a general intimation that the aspect of affairs in to- lombia is favourable. As there is no doubt that the former gentleman is qualified to make a very full report respecting the situation of the Republie, whither he has been sent by this Government for that purpose, a hope seems to have arisen among the merchants connected with that country, that it may be of a nature to induce iPfinisters to take.some decisive steps towards declaring Colomtbia at least inde- pendent. Colonel HA1ILTON, we understand, has not re- turned) having been detained by indisposition.

We have received the Eloile dated Thursday, which, in addition to the articles in the other Paris journals, notices the subject of the Hanoverian troops in rather a prominent mannier. Notwithstanding the contradictions \vhich have already been given respecting the intended embarkation of these troops for Portugal, the Editor of the Etoile thinks it necessary to add his " guarantee that there is no longer "1 any quesdon of sending a Hanoverian corps to Lisbon." it is understood, however, that the insertioin of the para- graph was required by some person in authority. Accord- ing to the Quotidienne, which pretends to know the secrets ,of the negotiations with Havti, the followhng are the con- ditions op which the Frenchi Governmenit is willing to ac- knowledge the independence of that State :-. The recog- nition of the paramount supremacy (sezerainate) of France. 2. The payment of 180 millions of francs to be divided among the old colonial proprietors. 3. To give up two places as security for the execu tioni of the treaty, viz., iMlole St. Nicolas, wvith 12 leagues of territory in the west, and Turtle Island in the north. Twenty_six Frenbchmen, made prisoners in Spain, whose trial has been going on for these three weeks before ike Court of Assize at Toulouse, were declared " not guilty" by the Jury on the 16th of this nonth, andi solemnly acquitted.

sic nave to congramtuate tflat part ot the public (by nomeans 8 small one) which takes an interest in every thing that concerts the advancement of the Fine Arts, upon the formation of a neweocietY calculated to promote that desirable object. '['he society to which we allude is called the "Society of British Artists," and ihexreasons which have led to itS establishment are stated in a pri'ted adver- tisement which has been extensively circulated, and to which the names of several eminent artists (not members of the Royal Acade- my) are subscribed, to be the great increase in the numnber of artists since the foundation of the Royal Academy, which renders the rooms ofthat institution inadequate, as a place ofexhibition,'for the numerous works which are annually sent there for that purpose; and also that the British Institution closes its exhibition of-modern art early in April. The advertisement proceeds to state, thatithe new Socdety will open its exhibition in Alpril, and close ir;at-the end of July. There must, weimagine, havebeen anothercircumstance whici had some sbare in producing the result abov-mehtioned-we mean the arregant and illiberal conduct of the -Royal Academy, which for several years past has tended only to retatiVthebidvance- ment of art, and to disgust itK wrofeasors.

I4e was on Saturday visited by several respectable individuals, many of whom (hereto- fore strangers to him) came to express their sympathy in his suflerings.

High Bailiff Of Southwark...
The Times, 1824-12-08T00:00:00

Several members of the Corporation held a meeting at the Ouild- hall cofhee-house, upon the subject of supporting the election of a fit and proper person to serve the office of High-Bailiff of the Town and Borough of Southwark, vacant by the resignation of John Prin. sep, Esq. It was moved- and seconded, that MAr. Holmes, the pre- sent npincipal clerk of the Court of Reqaests, was a person well qualifled to discharge the duties of the office, anrd entitled, from his long experience in the particular branch of knowledge requisite in a candidate, as well as from his long services in the Corlporation, to the siuation. After some observations upon the propriety of sup- porting the election of this gentleman, a motion to that efflect was unanimoutly agreed to. The other candilates areBoyce Combe, Esq., and4ldermanAns- lie, but it has been said that before an alderman can stand forward as a candidate he must throw aside his gown. Mlr. Hol mes, upon the former election for the same office, at the death of Sir Watkyn Le%is,.was a candidate, but his chance was trifling compared with the claim of Alr. Prinsep, who had beeo an East India merchant of the highest repectability an alderman of the city of London, and a man greatly beloved by his fellow-citizens. It is reported that Mr. Prinsep's son-in-law, a gentlenman of large fortune, upon seeing that the Court of Common Council had taken a decided part against the High Bailiff, immediately advised his father-in-law to throw up the situation altogether without ceremony; and it is also saidi that Ar. Prinsep will undergo no inconvenience whatever in consequence of his resignation. HIIG BAILIFF fP SOUTHWA RK.
