If Spain was so weak as tube unable to regard the possessions of her South American colonies, G.-eat-Britain was undoubtedly free to re cognize their independence ; and as we had a strong interest in tueir freedom, we were bound to notice a transaction which, in ail probability, was one of the results arising ou; of the Holy Albany. Wth respect to the conduct of France on this occasion, hexouki not express bis feelings too strongly. This was the way her government paid the debt of gratitude" they owed us, for the efforts we had been making, and the quantity of blood and treasure which we had expended during the last 30 years to restore the House of j Bourbon. Scarcely was the wax dry which sealed the treaty that placed the sceptre in their feeble hands, when the members of that house and their advisers began to form pro jects honiie to the interest of their benefac tors. We were ibe best benefactors of that family; and as such, we had aright to de- man J from the French government, a con duct the Tery retem- of this which was most -treacherous and perfidious. He did not know whether he should say that tve ought to pro ceed to the recognition of the independence of the South American provinces: but he must observe that the United States of Ame rica were continually on the watch, and had neglected nothing by which they could cul tivate tueir friendship : and with that view Nad sent commissioners thither to enquire into their situation. They had two great ob- ^cts in Tiew : first to obtain possession of the FkmdoS ; and after that, to acknow ledge the independence of the South American States. He would ask then if it was wise or prudent to allow the United States to take the start of us in this importaot business -— to allow them to retain exclusively the friend ship of South-American Spaniards, and thus open a wide market for the produce of their industry to the exclusion of the mar.ufitctures of Great Britaio ? Any thinr like delay in this business would be highly prejudicial to ns. And why, he asked, should we not avail ourselves of the opportui.ity which Provi dence placed in our hands, ami cultivate the friendship of twenty millions of people with whom we might carry on a commercial in tercourse of unbounded benefit to us ? Here the hun. gentleman entered into several Statements to shew how extensively i.izrma ll ifactures were sought after in South-Ame rica ; and he observed that this trade was hkeiy to be carried on to the greatest extent, aid in a way likely to fee highly advantage- o .s to both countries. Jfe anxi -usly hoped that his Majesty’s minister* would lake the Subject into their most serious consideration: »nd that they would have the fatislartion of reflecting that they had acknowledged, and were instrumental in producing that triumph of liberty and reason, over higotrv and in jus tice, which was gaining ground in the new world. He concluded with moving an hum- Me address to his Majesty that he would be graciously pteesed to give directions, that there lie laid beiore the house copies of all official communications received by bis Ma jesty'* government, relative to a negoebtion tarried on between the French government and the agent of any government at Buenos Ayres, relative to the establishment of a Mo narchy in South-America, under a Prince of "the House of Bourbon. Lord CatUeremrh said, it would place his Majesty's government in embarrassment if be were to accede to the present motion: for tne facts already knnwj, tn the government sycre so imperfect, that it would be impos- C.ble to enter into anv discussion on such material*; and if these'were laid before the ■House they could produce no other effect than that of XRtscenceptio* rt home and a- broad. On a former day, a gallant officer on the. other side of tlie house bad put a question tv him on this sid.jtct; and the an swer which he (Lord C.) gate. was. that he was not :n possession of such information as ought properly to be laid before the house, nor such as would -wren be intelligible to the house: nor such as the house could art n The Let was, tint several printed papers had been transmitted to his Majesty’s gavern- vnent-by the officer who had' the command of the naval station at Buenos Ayres ; these papers related rhiedy to certain criminal prnceedmgs, which were carried on there n- K*inst some persons concerned in the trans actions just alluded to. The relations, how ever, iielween this country and the govern- mentof Buenos Ayres, were not of such an official nature, as would warrant his Males ♦v’s government in acting o 0 those docu ments. which could not bo consider'd as offi cial. Besides, many wtlicr communications were ret to be made, which it would be ne- ee*sary to look at before the house could take a view of tbe subject in question. In deed, with the information he then possess ed, be was incapable *Tariteriaginto anv ex planation on the subject: and to take it up in its present state, could not he attended with any practical utility ; particularly so. when the object of the hon. gentleman seem ed to be to review the whole of the policy which England had acted upon, with regard to Sonth-Airierica. Whatever the hon. gen tleman might think as to the propriety of calling for this information at some future period, he must surely feel, that if jnform*- gencral interest* of the whole. lie licqied then that the house would vii=pe»d itsjudg nient on the whole of the transactions i question, and nut call for information which could not lie given. Sir Jamt* JIactnioeh contend'd that re time was m-cefit for bringing forward and discussing a motion oftfc's I i dtliau thetiim tt lien fortigi Powers were making encroac h- ments of a clandestine and treacherous ra- ture on the national interests of this country. He thought the Noble Lord should bate do objection to produce such documents a> were in his possession. He wished the House particularly to observe tbnt ihe neg'»- ciation respecting the establishment of a monarchy at Iluenos Ayrts, was earned on in the month of May Ibl9. just at the lime when that House was employed in passirg a Bill to prohibit Er'ri-h subjects from ' ntrrinc Into the rirvircof the Americans—a Bill, tbe effect of winch tr : g! t en-.b!-* Spain tore.'otcr pos-ression of those provinces.— The Continental Powers were privy to tlie plan of forming the New Monarchy in these extensive regions; while England, kept in ignorance on the subject, it;.' discttssti g thv measure to which ire just alluded, if ihi British Gavermnet.t hail known of the exist ence «f such a ncg' ciation, the P.irhamwi' Si* Xacintotk iu egplarialMiD'snid, his nieani :g irus that tin* Spaniards ha.l de livered iltemselttswilh little military rid o : Ihi ir own: and nothing could be furtbe* from bis itlras than that of dispart ging flic inestiniable lienelits resulting from the h»il- li.aut exploits of the Duke of Wellington.

The relations of South America and Spain were certainly, at this time, in a very peculiar situation : be cause the recent transactions in Spain had materially changed the whole asjvect of things in South America. He must say that a return of those provinces, to the yoke of aD odious d.-'jiotism, was a thing wWh he had ever objectvd to: but when a nation be came free, ar.d was capable of governing its elf, as Spain now appeared to be, it was po«-‘ sihle that a junction, mutually advantageous to both parlies, might now take j'bce be tween Spain and the American colonic*. He was not very sanemne on ibis jvoint : but ii might happen. Spain had already perforin-' ed two of the greatest services that ever were conferred by a,it nation on mankind. The first was the expetting, with a small mi- 1 litiry force, an ambitions inrad* r from her terriiOfT. The other important service ^ns that of her having recovered Iter liberty without the effusion of Wood. Indeed, the time was arrited w lien the spirit of reforma tion, in all political institution*, was loti pow - erful to ire resisted : and he tvlievedthe on ly dangers to be apprehended were tbo*e that arose nut of the passions of political leaders- The progress in reformation char acterized lire present age, and r ny govern ment thaj resisted it was s lm . t„ be defeated. —{Hear, hear.) The Spanish nation had formerly evinced great virtues and wisdom : and he trusted they would profit by the ex perience which the world had had on the subject of liberty. Ha trusted they w-tuud discover from th;it experience, that nothing was so easy as to overshoot liberty; and that a free constitution was iwjurally sire- roanded'by various kind* of tyrannies, into some one of which, if pushed too far, it mint inevitably b« precipitated. He trusted that they would engraft their reformation on the ancient principles of tiieir Constitution—th.it they would connect their new liberties with all Ihe classesirrto which society was div id- ed—that *hey would attach every great ho. dy of people in the State to the ptesermtiou of those liberties—and that they would not add anotlierto the unfortunate list of nations, who, in the first delirium of their jov on e- mancipation from thraldom, had inflicted vvonndson freedom, with ages could not heal. —(Hear, htar.) * Mr. Cartnin/r conceived that enough had been stated to show that •papers of this kind ought not to be produced in their present imperfect state. I; might be honorable and beneficial for Gentlemen who had no ostensi ble situations to express their sentiments as the two honorable Gentlemen had just done; but would it he fit for the government to give any expression of sentiment, or to lay before the House a detail of farts which were not sufficiently fttli and authentic to act upon, and thus to hokl out to this country the ConMit'itioti, appeared too lun;r for ihe impatience of ihe army, or rather ol Nose who direct it. Hence the Insur gents of Avellino hastened to sen ! De putation*, while here even tin ir friends, tiieir associates, formed Comniilttt l, mid supported their demands, i hey wished to hate adopted without delay the Con stitution of the Cortes of 1812, mid b have it signed by the King in 21 hours. Negociations took place with thorn on the morning of the 7th, and about mid day appeared a Rescript from the King addressed to the Duke of Calabria, it which his Majesty alleged that the state of hie health did not |serniit him to un dergo the fatigue the duties of his royal ty exacted, and named his Royal High ness his'Vicar-General in the Kingdom of the two Sicilies, with all the right 3 at tached to what is culled here the After ego. 41 Soon afterwards there was publish ed a Proclamation from the Prince Vi car General, promising the Spanish Con stitution, such as it was demanded. But tuts did not appear sufficient to the In surgents. They demanded that .the King should prooiise it, and sign it him self Towards evening there appeared a new Proclamation, by which tne King confirmed the promise of the Prince, his son ; and bound himself upon his faith of a King, to swear to the Constitution be fore the Provisional Junta which was a- hout to be formed, till he could swear to it before the General Parliament lawful ly assembled. To this proclamation tins affixed a Decree of the Prince Vicar Ge neral, which promulgated the establish ment of the Constitution, reserving such modifications as the National Iwpresen- tation might introduce into it. “ The same evening, several regiment* returned to Naples tu good order. All the inhabitants exerted themselves to maintain tranquility. It tvas only threat ened by the effervescence cf a'crowd of young people, w ho dent mded arms with loud cries, and who in part were sati-li- ed. The lower people took no part in the different movements; they showed themselves so passive that one might be lieve them dissatisfied with wlmt had ta ken place. “ Yesterday tlie Pth, Gen.

As to what hi* Learned Friend said of this negoriaton being carried on at ihe time when that House tvas passing the Foreign Enlistment Bill, lie would say that although other countries might art treacher ously totts, it tvas most 'satisfactory to us to think that we had not done, any thing with which tve rouid reproach ourselves; although other nations pursued a different course. Fie entertained a different o|>inioii from his lion, and Learned Friend, as to the reconciliation tt hich he supposed miglw he advantageously made between Spain in her present reform ed state, and the South American Provin ces: for Provinces were always worse treat ed by countries that had their popular as semblies, than by .those which were govern ed by an absolute monarchy. He wu- sur prised tn hear the learned gentleman say, in defiance of history so universally know n, that the Spaniards had driven away tiieir inta* ders by the aid of a small military force; for what could they have done tv itfvout the Duke of Wellington arid his army? As to this country acknowledging the government of Buenos Ayres ; he tvishtd to know, while one government was driving another out, which of them was ttfchc acknowledged. It was true that tlie Spanish people had subse quently made great efforts ; but when his honorable and learned friend talked of their having*uj)y a “little” regular military aid, he w,i»htd to whether the liistory of the antry, filed off before the Prince \ teat General, and all his family, who were in the balcony ofthe Palace. The General afterwards ascended to-offer his homage to the Prince, who received him very well, and conducted him to the King.— For three days his Majesty had not quit ted his apartments. He suffers, it is said, frown rheumatic pains. “ Since the t»th a tri-colored ffng, (red, black and blue.) has waved from the guard-house of the Civic Guard.

It may be recollected, that some time last winter, I more than o.vce alluded to an extra ordinary case of hydrophobia in the. county of Ulster, which would, in my judgment, de monstrate the curative quality ofthe Scutel laria, in that direful disease; and that I ven tured to promise the details of the case ; which I did on the assurance that I should lie furnished w ith them for such purpose, hy some one ofthe physicians who visited the patient. After waiting and writing repeat edly in vain, I, the week before last, made a iuuniey to the place of her residence, saw the family and the attending physician, and in his presence drew up a report of the par ticulars of the case, then visited each of the consulting physicians, living remote from each other, and at the end of seven day* ac complished my purpose. The reader will now see the result in tlie following statement and document, which are submitted to the impartial judgment ofthe public, and parti cularly tn the reflections of the faciiltv.

CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA. Mare Tice, or Milton, in the county ofL'I- rtpr. in the fourteenth year of her age. and a girl of robust make, was bitten iu March, 1818, in her left arm, just above her elbow, by a small black dog. which her father, sus pecting him of madness, had confined in an empty barrel in his stable, fmbidding any of his children to go near hint on pain of se% i re punishment, and which, hisdiso-der inert as- ing, he afterwards ktiled.

By this time, the icull-cap con e. ol width nstmrgtea was imir*' diately pirjinred. by pt.uring a quart of boilii g water upon l-2out.ee of the pul- vcristfL' herb, and as soon as it was ready it was prevented to her; hut after attempting once or twice to swallow it, site declared she could not. At this critical moment, itdiurtu- nalrly occuri i d to her mother It. mix a large spoonful of tin tea with ait equal quantity of the wine, which she offered her ; and found it set well. Her drink was then repented every 10 or 15 minutes during the night, les sening gradually tin* quantity of the wine, and increasing that of tire tea until she wai able to take the latter clone, and actually took a quart mug full before morning. As ahe haa tasted nothing solid since tne day before at noun, she asked for something to eat, end mentioned jniuipkin |<ie, as what ahe should like ; of which a large piece was procureetf and she ate it without experienc ing the le;usl h,convenience.

Although the curalire tffect* of the scull- cap continued tu -manifest themselves daily in the removal of the j'rincipa! disease, 3d, she complained much of a pain in the wound, attended with gre. t swelling in the arm ; sh» was btiil tormented with excruciating pan,* in (ho head, aCcon.junu'd by an indescriba ble beat in tlie pit of her stomach, which she said burnt berup; nor had the tumor in har arm j>it ever subsided. Dr. Gedney took, from her amt, 1C ounces of blood, which w as found to be in a'dissolved state : hut o- milting tor some reason, to repeat the opera tion, it a Corded only a temporary i elitf, and at the end of a week her-head ache returned with its fornu-r violence; nature, how ever, stepjied in to her assistance, and by a »poi-.« tanenus and ccpiotts blwdirg at the rose ev«- cry day or oftener, freed her from this 0 *- tresfing sjmptom. For tlie burning in her stomach he ordered a glass of lime water, ta be taken three times a day. And for tbe glandular swelling under heraitn, 75 grains of calomel to be divided in five equal part* ; of these three of 15 grains each, to be given, one every other morning, with a fever jiow. der to lie given on Ihe days the celotnel w as omitted ; nnotherpart to be divided in two, and given at twice, and one to be divided in*- to four equal parts hi.d given eteiy morning; tlie sulphur to lie wholly suspend.d during the time of taking the rtunmel, but the scull- tap to be continued in somewhat diminished dosis. In a little more than a week the glandular swelling in her arm pit entirely disapjteared: the burning in her stomach left her; the wound in Fur arm suppurated, broke and discharged in about tin days, when it entirely liea-td : and .at ihe exj)ir«- tion ef six weeks no vestige of disease was to be perceiv'd; nor lias tlie least symptom of byarnj hohia shew d itself.silica. The following r< rtificate by the respecta- ble physicians w lio attended the patient, or saw her in consultation, will form a proper and satisfartf'ty conclusion. ‘* e, the siibscribers, whose names are mentioned in the above report of the case of Mnrv Tice, do hereby ceititiy, that so far as it relates to 11* individually, it is correct.

Similar paroxisms occurred often every day and night throughout her illness. The nature of the disease could no longer lie mistaken. The three physicians agreed in recommending a trial of tlie scull- rap, to lie administered while the impossibi lity of swallowing continued, ns an enema, with half an ounce of laud an urn ; and to be repented till the desired effect should be pro duced; but as soon ns the power of stvniiotv- ing returned, to give a strong decoction of the plant as often ns she could drink it.
