SOUTH AMERICA. 



The most authentic accounts from 

 tliis great Continent, lead us to hope fliat 

 the patriotic cause will uHimately tri- 

 umph, and that new sources will arise 

 in this quarter of trade and prosperity 

 to Great Britain.

little doubt, we conceive, that the at- 

 tachment wliicii was shewn to him in 

 Spain by the departure of hundreds of 

 the first families in liis train, when he 

 left Madrid, would attend liim in Spa- 

 nish America; and that his appearance 

 in Mexico would be tiie signal for the 

 union of all hearts in that Province, 

 Pern, Chili, and Terra Firma, in esta- 

 blishing a constitutional and patriolia 

 government. The extraordinary for-

DURING the past month, some of 

 those miscreants employed by tlie 

 Police of the metropolis, have been de- 

 tected in a few of their atrocious prac- 

 tices. Encouraged by the parliamentary 

 reward, wliicli, by an utter want of dis- 

 crimination, has been given to these paid 

 servants of the public, it appears tiiey 

 haw been long in the practice of exciting 

 men to commit crimes, for the purpose of 

 more certainly detecting them, and pro- 

 Cluing their conviction, for the sake of 

 the blood-money ; and that even innocence 

 itself has found no protection from their 

 complicated perjuries. Tliree or four of 

 them have been committed for trial ; but 

 it is to be feared that no existing law will 

 rcacli the magnitude of their crimes. If 

 justice is not tardy, all those unhappy 

 persons who in Enctland or New South 

 Wales, are still sulfc-ring under sentences 

 of the law, on the evidence of persons 

 interested by a reward in procuring their 

 ronviciion, ousht fortlu-. ith lo be set at 

 libeity, and no evidence so suborned ought 

 ever to be received in any court of justice 

 which expects to be honoured by public 

 opiinon. 



The silk trade of England has its chief

At an entertainment given to the poor 

 by the newly-married Duke and Duchess 

 of Gloucester, at Bagshot-park, the diqner 

 consisted of 60 buttocks of beef, 60 sir- 

 loins of beef roasted, 60 legs of mutton 

 boiled, 60 shoulders of mutton roasted, 60 

 savoury pies, 80 very large plum pod- 

 dings, 180 dishes of vegetables, SO hogs- 

 heads of strong ale. 



By that unhappy fatality which attends 

 the decisions of caprice, a large mortar, 

 whimsically called " The Rei;ent's Bomb,'' 

 has been exposed in St. James's Park, as a 

 war-trophy, whicii in truth it is not. It 

 was merely abandoned by the Marshal 

 Victor, when lie judged it necessary to 

 raise tlie blockade of Cadiz; and curious 

 enough for its maiinitude, but not an ob- 

 ject for its present distinction. It is said, 

 however, that the ornaments, &;c. cost 

 10,000/.
