‘VUE Jft ESS E.V GER. LATE FOREIGN NEWS. New-York, June 11. The ship John Wells, which ar rived yesterday from Liverpool, brought London papers to the Bth 31 ay, and Liverpool to the 10th— Paris dates are to the sth. The disturbances in the south ol Ireland are increasing. It is said that even in the rebellion of 1798 there were not so many houses burnt during its whole continuance, and though more property must have been destroyed throughout the whole kingdom, yet no two coun ties have suffered so severely as Cork and Limerick do at present. A report prevailed in Paris that the king had renewed his connexion with Decazes, and that the latter tyould soon be at the head of an ad ministration partly liberal and part ly ultra, and that Talleyrand was in dose union with Decazes, A brilliant affair is said to have taken place between a division of Spanish cavalry, consisting of 600, commanded by Col. Bazan, an Aid de-Camp of Gen. Mina, and an ar rangement of royalists amounting to 3000, who, endeavoring to cutoff the former, met with a total defeat Bazan was inarching to the relief of Valencia, when perceiving that, owing to the great number of the royalists, there was no hopes of his advancing or retreating, he 44 form ed the resolution of cutting his way through the rebel army, when put ting himself at the head of his little band, and giving orders to take no prisoners but slav all, with the cus tomary viva of” Long live the Con stitution,” rushed in among the en emy, who, surprised and astonished at the acts of gallant intrepidity, be came panic struck and broke into confusion.” To use Col. Bazan’s own words, he and his men killed until they were literally fatigued, pursuing the enemy nearly to Mur yredo. 600 of the rebels were kill ed and left on the field, among them 8 Friars; 250 made prisoners, be ing wounded badly ; 1500 stands of arms, two pieces artillery and am munition taken. The gallant Ba zan arrived in Valentia on the same night of his victory, about 8 o’clock, where he was received in triumph, and the city brilliantly illuminated. After so gallant an exploit as this, we are no way surprised that the Duke d’Angouleme should feel •some hesitation in advancing far ther into the country without a force sufficient to resist similar at tacks. London, May 5. We communicate upon good au thority, that 30,(XX) additional troops are ordered to march to the Pyrenees, from the northern parts of France. We believe tht last dispatches from the head quarters otthe French army, strongly urged the importance of immediate rein forcements. In fact, the necessity of masking, or reducing, the strong fortresses of San Sebastian, Pam pejuna, and Figueras, and the im possibility of doing either with the force actually employed, explain sufficiently the grounds of this new levy. It is said that a Russian army is undoubtedly assembling in the duchy of Warsaw ; whether to be used lor the purpose of overawing France, in the absence of her own soldiers, or as a body of troops to join the French in Spain, we cannot pretend to say. ‘When, however, we unite this circumstance with the news last received from Vienna, stating, that the communications be tween that court and St. Peters bui g had again become very active, and with the intelligence from Lausanne, that the Austrian troops, which were about to evacuate Italy, had unexpected!) halted upon the frontiers ot Lombarclv, we think it requires no extraordinary sagacity to presage the coining events. St. Sebastian is invested, but not so closely but that the garrison can come out of the town and exercise on the glacis. The besiegers have attempted to hinder this, but were rep ustd with loss. Extract of a letter from Paris , dated April 23 : “ On Wednesday or Thursday last. Sir C. Stuart called upon M. de Chateaubriand as usual. The common forms of civility were scarcely concluded, when the Min ister began to reproach the Am bassador, in no very measured lan guage, reviling more to bis Court than he was diplomatically bound or authorized to do. 4 You come here,’ said he, Sir C. in a forenoon, and, without anv official business,; engage me in talk on political af fairs ; you then write home to Mr. Canning the result of our conversa tion ; and Mr. Canning choosses to lay vour letters on the Table ol the House of Commons. I beg that this intimacy, so absurd, may end ; and that unless upon special busi ness, you only attend my weekly parties along with the other Ambas sadors.’ So saying, these diploma tic persons closed their political gossip , and Sir C. is not any longer to be among 4 the mostfavoied Mi nisters.’ Nf.w-York, June 16. The Spanish letter of marque ship Tarantula, arrived here yesterday in 41 days from Cadiz. VCe learn that she sailed oil the sth of May— that a formal Declaration ot War against France had been published —that the Spanish privateer swere fitting out with all expedition—and that one French merchant vessel had been captured off Algesiras previous to the sailing of this ves sel. This arrival from Cadiz, has given rise to a report and a conjec ture. The report is that Joseph Bonaparte is invited io Spain by the Liberals, and the conjecture is that she has brought out commis sions for privateers. The following interesting letter from Cadiz, dated April 25th, was re ceiyed in this city by the schoo ner Little William. It is from a gentleman, who wrote rather des pondingiy a few days previous.— We know him personally, and place the utmost confidence in his state ments. — Nat. Adv. Cadiz , April 25. “ The French, as you know, en tered Spain on the 7th, and without meeting any opposition proceeded as far as Vittoria. The advanced guard is composed of discontented Spaniards, which the French allow to be very much against their own interest, as the spirit of vengeance which leads them on has created a reaction, and those who otherwise were disposed to recieve the French tranquility, are retiring from their homes, and uniting themselves to Ballasteros by thousands. Almost all the local militia of the pro\ inces have already abandoned their hous es and collecting where their servi ces may be useful. In the towns the French have passed, some disorders have been committed, as much from the disappointment of not meeting the welcome reception the) expected, as from any other cause. ‘ 4 The Constitutional General O’ Donnell is doing wonders —we per cicve his energy in every act he performs. The last accounts we have ol him, is that of his having organized an army of about 15,000 men, with which he will soon begin io operate, and 1 believe one ol his first steps will be secure the passes of Somosierre about 12 leagues north of Madrid. All the militia ol Madrid, amounting to nearly 8000 men, have volunteered en mass to join the army of reserve in Andalusia. With such elements in a people, what should be their re ward ? Certainly not depression. 1 suppose great numbers of priva teers will be fitted out from the United States. If they come here, they will get commissions without anv difficulty—the grand object being to do the French all the mis chief possible. 4k It is reported, and I believe correctly, that will shortly be put under martianaw, to be pre pared lor the worst, and that a Gov ernor will be appointed who will unite in his own person, the Civil and Military authority, if he be a man of nerve, he will do much good.” It is stated in the London Times, that foreigners are uniting them selves together in the Peninsula,for the purpose of affording assistance against the invaders of Spain.— A corps of French refugees, under the command of Aymer, paraded the streets of Madrid on the 7th April, with the tricolored flag, and singing patriotic songs. A number ol Italians have made an offer of tucir services to the Constitutional Government. The priests are en deavouring to persuade the ignorant pesants, luat in taxing up arms against the Constitution, they aie fighting in defence ot Catholic reli gion. THE BRAZILS. Accounts from Pernambuco to to April 21st (received at N. York) state that heavy bonds were requi red of all vessels sailing thence lor the south not to touch at St. Salva dor. The Brazilian fleet under Lord Cochrane had arrived off the latter place, and also 900 troops from Rio Saneiro, to aid in the re duction of the place. Skirmishing took place daily between the be sieging troops and those ol the city, and a general and decisive engage ment was hourly expected. Sav. Georgian. By a late arrival at Baltimore from Carthagena it appears that “ President Bolivar had marched from Guayaquil for Cuenca ; his ar my is said to amount to 8000 men, including the 3-000 men which re turned from Peru. Gen. Sucre was in Pastos with some force—all was quiet in the South. Congress had organized and proceeded to buisness —The \ ice President, in his message, speaks in a verv handsome manner of the recognition of the independence of Colombia by the United States.” From Para —We learn, by the Dianna, that a revolution broke out at Para, (Brazil,) on the 14 of April, headed by the troops, and opposed by the people. There had been some fighting, and a number had been killed on both sides,including a General officer. The place was quiet when the Diana sailed, but the people were dissatisfied, and further bloodshed was expected.— The principal officers and citizens were fleeing from the place. N. 2*. Merc. Adv. Extract of a letter from Chili , dated February 28, 1823. On the 21st January, the Patriot army in Peru commanded by Gen. Alvarado,of 5000 strong, had an en gagement with the Royalists under gen.Valdez,near Tucna,which after much hard fighting terminated in the total defeat of the Patriots. 2000 men were made prisoners—looo kil led and wounded —the residue had embarked and returned to Lima. [From many circumstances we are led to believe that the above account is greatly exaggerated, if not entirely incorrect.] We have read attentively the vo- J luminous correspondence between the British Ambassadors at Verona, Paris, and Madrid, and their Brit ish cabinetc, concerning the Span ish case. On the whole, it appears to us discreditable to Mr. Canning and his colleagues, who have been wanting in the spirit and tone befit ting the character and power of the | British nation should Spain become | the prev of France, she, and the J cause of National Independence ■ and Free Government on the con tinent, may be said to have been delivered by the British ministry, whose positive solemn engagements of neutrality amounted to a carte blanche for the French Ultras. The figure which Great Britain makes in the issue of the discussion at Ve rona and the correspondence with France, is one of utter impotency and insignificance as to Contential affairs. We are not surprised at the suspicion which has been expressed on the Continent as well as in Eng land—that the British ministry had a seeret understanding and arrange ment with the French cabinet as to the extent of the proceedings of the latter in Spain—that they cov ertly concurred in the plan of ob taining by force the alteration of the Spanish Constitutions, and breaking the strength of the Con stitutional party; events which must be attended with the full restora tion ot Legitimacy in Portugal like wise. National Gaz. A number of youths from the Repub lic of Columbia have arrived in the U. States for the purpose of receiving their education. We are glad to per ceive this, as it will be the means of creating a union of sentiment between the two countries, highly desirable. What place is so suitable for the edu cation of republicans as a republic ? [The youths here mentioned we un derstand are three sons of the Patriot General Paez. On the arrival in this country Gen. Scott applied to the Ex ecutive of the IJ. S. for their admission ! into the Military academy at West* * Point, which has been granted, lie has undertaken their guardianship un til their education is completed.] The New-York American speaks in high terras ol the present ad ministration ot the Bank ot the U. States. It says that a scheme is on foot to establish transfer offices in the principal seaports, that it would be a great convenience to the hold ers, and would add to the value of the stock, to make it thus pass easi ly from hand to hand, instead of requiring all certificates, as at pre sent, to be sent from the remotest parts of the country to Philadel phia to be transferred to the pur chaser. The semi-annual dividend which will be made on the Ist of July, on the stock of the National Bank, it is supposed will be three per cent; at least, it is presumed that the profits of the Bank will have enabled it to divide that amount, if it shall be deemed expedient to do so. There are considerations, however, which it is thought, may possibly induce the government of the Bank to di vide less than its real ability would render it easy to do; one of which, it may be presumed, is the desire of the Board of Directors to avoid giving—so far as their duty will permit them—a new impulse to ex travagant speculations in the stock of the Bank. We have no desire ourselves to discourage a lair divi dend, even if it should exceed three per cent, nor have we the slightest knowledge, beyond conjecture, ol the views of the parent Board in regard to the dividend ; b't, as the Bank is known now to have recov ered from its losses, and to have reached a safe and prosperous con dition, and as the belief is general, that its profits will justify a higher dividend than has been made for some vears, we throw out the above idea to shew that those who are sanguine of an extraordinary divi dend may be disappointed. As tlie period for declaring the divi dend approaches, we find the price of stock rising ; in Philadelphia it had,a few days ago,reached between six and seven percent, above par— m New-York it was nearly as high. Nat. Intel/. IMPORTANT QUESTION. A subject of great magnitude is now under discussion in some of our journals, which has completely cast in the back ground both the Presidential question and the Span ish war. This important topic is none other than the relative speed and bottom of two very distinguish ed personages, viz Henry , a Virgi nia colt, and Eclipse , an adult steed, whose residence is in New-York, aud whose mighty feats on the turf have been related with as much minuteness, and made the subject of as much comment as the battle of Waterloo or the dethronement cf Bonaparte. From a cursory glance at the statements of the con tending papers, we learn that the Long Island champion, having ta ken a purse of $20,000 dollars, and been conducted from the field, crowned with laurels', amidst the acclamations of 60,000 persons, of all sizes, colours and conditions, has determined to retire from the busy world, and enjoy the quietude of private life. This course the Virginians, (who do not well relish their defeat) deem more prudent than honourable —and they have ac cordingly most courteously invited the vetern racer again to the field ; but the invitation has been with equal courtesy declined. The point in dispute therefore is which horse, in the event of another race, will take a purse of fifty thousand dol lars provided that amount can be raised ? As soon as this moment ous question is settled to the satis faction of the editorial corps on both sides of the Potomac,(if indeed it can he without a dissolution of the Union) we may expect that subjects of minor importance will be introduced, and doubtless the qualifications of Messrs. Adams, Crawford, Calhoun and Jackson, lor the first office in the goverment, will bediscusscd with as much ani mation as though the tratiscendant qualities of Eclipse and Henry had never been subjects of publlck con troversy. Missionary When about departing for the race course on the 27th ult. Mr. Randolph suggested to some gentle men that it would be a good time to elect a President of the United Sates, as there would be an sembly of 50 or 60,000 people from the different parts of the and probably every state would be represented. On his return ho\ v . ever to the city, lie remarked that he was glad his proposition h, t j not been acceded to, as he had nr doubt that if the election had taken place there, Purdy , (the rider c f Eclipse) would have been chosen ot, r any other man in the Union. Com. Advertiser SINGULAR SUICIDE. On Wednesday Mr. Jonas Bush of New-York, put a period to h, life, in Pearl-street. Mr. B. had (we understand) been for a lor,- time in mercantile business in this citv and Savannah—and, in the lat ter place, lost all his property by the great fire. Since his return to this city, he has been in somewhat embarrassed circumstances, and la. bored under some other afflictions, Not an hour before committing the act, being in the stores of two or three near neighbors, he appeared perfectly well, deliberate, and ra tional. He delayed the execution of his purpose till his brother came home (though later than usual) to dinner, that he might not alarm the family in his absence. As soon as his brother came in, he went up stairs, lay down on his bed, dis charged a loaded pistol into each side opposite his heart, through which the ball of each pistol passed. He left a letter, addressed to a gen tleman with whom he had boarded, stating (in substance) that if he had not taken this course, he probably should have lived but a few years, and those unhappily—that it had always been said of persons, who had committed, such an act as he now intended, that they had net their reason, or were not in their right mind, and that,on this account, he wrote to his friend to desire him to contradict such a report, if it should be made respecting himself, as he could assure his friends of the contrary! J On the 7th inst. during a thunder storm, one of the stage Horses, on the road about four miles from the village, was killed by Lightning.- From the driver’s account, it ap pears that the electrick matter descended about 60 yards in front of the stage, within four or five feet of the earth—and then approached him in a horizontal direction. Ev ery horse in the stage was knocked down, and were lying on the ground when the driver came to himself.- Each horse on recovering hirnseli expressed either his alarm or his thankfulness, by repeated loud neighing. The horse killed, bore no external mark of injury, except that his tongue was of a lived pur ple, and was probably in the,act ir. inhaling his breath when struck.- It is a fact worthy of remark, that a branch of the flish of lightning; struck a tree near the village, at a distance of four miles from the Stage. Hamburg Gaz. Causes of War —The causes of the present war may be stated in a few words:—Spain has established a constitution which reeognizes the principle that the sovereignty reside* in the nation or people. The allied powers, adhering to the old doc* trine of the divine right of kings, and the passive obedience of sub jects, maintain the principle that the people have no rights nor privi leges except those granted hv sovereigns, and that all institutions must emanate from them , and they have resolved to put down at the point otthe bayonet every politic* 1 reformation in Europe whic’ ginates from the people. Tb / arf at present deterred from att l 'K Portugal through fear of En.dsad and because they conclude tj 1 ® the constitution of Spain issu'vod’, ed, that of Portugal will ’ course. The corporation of New-U’ have prohibited interments in t:1 lower part of that city. They p r * pose appropriating one of the pulg lots, containing 26 acres, about I miles from the city, for a bur) -11 jj> ground, to be surrounded by a' v; “’ and the whole divided into convey ent lots for individuals and • tl ‘ gious societies.
