By the arrival of the packet ship Colum
bia, Captain Ungers, in 87 days from lo
ve, pool, wn have received our regular tiles of
English papers—London dates and Lloyd’s
Li-ls to the itilh June, and Liverpool to
the fust of July, inclusive.
The ltuyal Assent was given on the 24th
r.f June, to the West India and American
Intercourse Bill and tin* Colonial Trade Bill,
by c.iniinissinn to tin* L ud Chancellor, the
Earl of-Shaftesbury and Lord .Melville.
Ilis M ijesty lias determined that lie will
visit neither Scotland nor the continent dot
ing the present Summer.
it was expected that the prorogation of
Parliament would take place on the tirsl
We *k in August.
On the 2 It It June the committee of sup
ply in the House of .Commons reported
£1 00,000 Cor the leisW public works.
Tin* report Was agreed to.
Pursuant to previous notice, Mr. Brough
am rose, and after a long and eloquent
eprecli, occupying nearly li dose eo minis,
on the subject of the crown, concluded hi**
observations by submitting to the House the
following resolution.
“That tile influence now possessed by
the crown is unnecessary for maintaining
its constitutional prerogatives, destructive
to the independence nf Parliament, and in
consistent with the well government of the
State.”
Lord Londonderry replied in an able
speech, and moved as an amendment, “ that
the other orders nf the day be now read.”
Mr. II. G. Bennett, and several other
members expressed their sentiments on the
subject, when the House divided as follows:
for the motion of Mr. B. 101, against it £10
—majority 110.
The crops of grain and vegetation gene
ally had been much improved by a succes
sion of rains.

lish Agent’s peremptory language, slating
that tin native of England would he given

way, and tile edict for resuming the inter
course was given without the smallest pro
vise.
Mr. Mathews, the eomedian, look leave of
his audience on Saturd y evening, the 22d,
and at the close nf Ilia parting address ob
served—•• I trust to he enabled to bring back
anew budget Jor your amusement; and all
my powers nf observation shall be roused
to their utmost, to collect suck materials in
my travels as shall prove that 1 have not
absented myself from your smiles.”
Tlie pltpers by tins arrival, as heretofore,
present the most appalling accounts of the
distress by famine, and sickness consequent
upon it, to which the people of Ireland nave
been reduced.
It was stated by Sir J. Newport, in the
House of Commons outlie 27th June, in
support of a motion lo extend the grant lor
the relief of the Irish sufferers beyond
100,000/. that fifteen persons in one parish
had perished by famine; tiiat twenty-eight
more were past all hopes of recovery, and
that one hundred and twenty persons in
the same parish were ill from fever produc
ed by want. In another parish there had
been found only food for two days for the
people ; and the parochial Minister had ac
tually prepared bis parishuners for their
inev itable death accoidmg to the rites of his
parlicidar Communion.
A Manifesto has been circulated at Mad
rid, which presents the views of the Span
ish Government for conciliating its interests
With those of the other European nations,
and with the true advantages of the Span
ish American Provinces. It begins by
ascribing the fatal separation vv nidi has tak
en place between the members of the great
Spanish family to the extiaordinary situa
tion to which Spain bad been rednee ti by
foreign invasion. It announces that the
Kmg has sent pacific Commissioners lo the
different South American Governments, to
renew the connexion between (be two
Countries on (lie grounds “ of common ad
vantage.” It denounces foreign interfer
ence as extreme injustice, and rails upon all
nations who possess ultra-marine colonies,
to -consider whether it lie their interest In

which it had been the injurious policy of

it expresses a hope that ns this course mu-t

By the arrival of the packet ship Colum
bia, at New-Yurk, London dates are receiv
ed to the 1st of July.
A most horrible event took plare at Con
stantinople about the 25th Of May, ill the
execution, or most barbarous murder, til
a great number nf the Greek Hostages, by
order of the Porte. It isstaid that this hor
rible transaction w ill put a stop the unfinish
ed iiegocialunis with Turkey, and that or
ders have been sent to the troops tin the
Turkish frontier to delay their march until
it is known what feeling may be executed in
Russia. The persons executed are stated,
in one account, to be 72 Greek merchants,
some of them the most respectable in tin
Levant, whose names are given. Some of
them had relations in London, where the
news occasioned a great excitement,

days from Laguayra, we have received lit
ters anil papers from Cameras to the 2;id el

Bogota, the following important “ Gazette
Extraordinary.”
“ War of the South Terminated.
“ Gazette Extraordinary of Colombia, Monday,
June 24, 1822.
“ Government lias just received acmunts
from tile head-quarters of the Liberator, at
Pastes, dated June ti, enclosing the capitula
tions conceded by the Liberating army to
the Spaniards, who defended Pastes and
t/uito.in virtue of which those places were
occupied—the first by his Excellency the
Liberator President on the. said tltli of June,
and the seer,ml by Gen. Sucre the 25th o!
May. Tile brilliant marches made lioin
Bumbnna and Pichincha preceding tlm-i
capitulations, obliged the enemy to surren
der, and the liberators of the South were as
generous as they were valiant.
“ The Colombian guards have augment
ed their reputation, and the warriors of l’i-
rhineha have inanife-ted that their love for
liberty was paramount to all other consider
alinns.
11 The wav nf the South has terminated
with glory to the. arms ofCulombia. A mil
lion of Americans are thus added to the fa
mily of the Republic—and the conqueror o
a hundred battles, the generous enemy ol
Spain, the creator of Colombia, the iminnr
lal Bolivar, has added new lustre to his iin
measurable glory.”
There is little else of moment in the pa
pers before its, but a letter from an officer nl

ruse, says—“ A junction is about to he form

CAPE MESURADO.
The schooner Calypso, arrived on AVctl
nesday evening in 65 days from the U. :~
Colony at Cape Mesnrado, having un boa u
Ur. Aires and Mr. Willherger, Agents of the
Colonization Society. Dr. Aires gives a
very favorable account of the present state
of the colony—the people are contented and
happy—the country healthy and fertile, and
a few of the colonists who were disposed to
ho unruly and disaffected, have retired to the
British settlements. The natives ace very
friendly to the colony, and all its concerns
are in the most prosperous condition. Two
of the colonists, Joseph Blake fa Zera Hall,
both of Philadelphia, have returned to take
out their families. Blake’s family sailed
lately for Mesnrado, and he unfortunately
missed them in coining to this country.—

The Riilish Government established
in the Ionian Islands tire we suspect,
justly chargeable with preventing the
Greeks from receiving succour from
those disposed to aid them, and w ith us
ing all efforts short of actual war, to ar
rest the progress of Grecian emancipa
tion. Upon this subject Sir James
Mackintosh when nrging the postpone
ment of the Alien Bill in the House ol
Commons on the night of the 14th of
June, used some very onergetic expres
sions ; but we are sorry to say the mo
tion w as lost. Of the Ionian Islands he
observed, the term protector which the
English Government bad adopted meant
something less than “ Sovereign ; it did
not imply commands and coercion in our
favour, and yet the law of neutrality, as.
it was called, was as strictly enforced in
those Islands as it had ever been in ;n,
ol I hose i calms. 1 he I Ion. and Learned
Member nexl adverted to the conduct of
llte Lord High Commissioner (Sir T.
M.lit land,) whit It he condemned in strong
terms. ftd verting to the affairs ol
Greece, lie said it was uncertain what was
likely to be the conduct of Russia with re-
sped tn the Greeks. It was impossible
to say w hether, after a twelvemonth of
encouragement, -he would not again de-
serl them ; and, by leaving them to their
fate, give rise to a rnnssacre similar to
that occasioned by her perfidy in 1770.
Upon all these points his feelings were
strong hut his information was deficient,
i lie Hon. and Learned Member, alter
some, other forcible and eloquent otarr-
rations in behalf of the Greeks, which
we regret a want of space prevents us
from giving, concluded by saving—“ The
Greeks implore your compassion in the
name of Socrates ; they beseech your
assistance iu the language ol Christ.”

COMMODORE BARRON,
A very able writer in the Richmond
Enquirer, under llie signature of Agis,
has espoused Iho cause of Commodore
Barron, and alter an examination into
uvents subsequent to the Chesapeake af
fair, and very clearly and satisfactorily
exempting the Commodore from cen
sure, announces that lie will hereafter
lake up the subject of the Chesapeake,
but requires time to arrange materials.
Ilis promise is couched in the following
language.
“ ll remains lo present in similar form
a detail ol the Chesapeake Court .Mar
tial.
“ I approch this subject with an anxie
ty I pretend not to conceal. It h one ol
deep interest to the American people.
“ Borne questions arise upon i blaek
and heavy record wlii ’li must shock the
feelings of every generous mind. It i-
painful to discharge this olfiee ; all pos
sible cure will be taken to avoid unneces
sary irritation ; some is foreseen, and
j wilt lie perhaps unavoidable."
| From this porteniious “ note of pre-
! paralion,” we have reason lo believe
I hat some facts may be detailed, which il
j is belter for the country should bo con-
j coaled, and better for the naval service
: lo suppress.
It is well known that Hie Chesapeake
affair inflicted a deep wound on the nu-
lional honor ; and il is also known, that
