      nature . In what manner this matter is considered by the Court of Naples and the other European powers time will shew . Spain has promulgated its successes in the new world , but we maybe allowed to doubt whether they will be permanent . It ¦* 'U 1 take time before the natives are assisted

      by arms and ammunition , and a sufficient number of French military can make head against the discipline of European troops ; but the experiment will shortly be tried , and no one except a Spaniard can contemplate the independence of the Spanish

      colonies in any other light than as a gam to the world at large . An English ship has been carried it is said into Spain , which had a cargo from Buenos Ayres . This may occasion a correspondence between the two courts , and settle the question relative to the true situation of the inhabitants

      on the Southern banks of La Plata . A considerable sensation has been experienced by the publication and general circulation of , a report of the House of Commons relative to the police of this country , and many extraordinary facts have

      We are requested by the Treasurer of the Unitarian Fund to say that in the published list of Subscribers , the name of Mrs . Severn , of Broughton , Notts , has been by mistake omitted ; and that the notification of any other errors in th « list , will be esteemed a favour .

      In our next Number we shall be able to give a Memoir of the late Mr . William Matthews , of Bath . We have received a variety of interesting communications from America , of which we shall make an early use . A Correspondent , familiar with Spanish literature , has furnished us with a curious account of an u 4 uto de Fe , compiled from official documents . " Receiit Case of Bigotry in Private Zsife . "—The reader probably recollects a letter under this title in the Monthly Repository for June , p . 320 . The persons who suppose t !* at they are referred to by our Correspondent , J . W . have shewn a very laudable anxiety to clear themselves of the suspicion of bigotry ; but we are sorry to say that their defence leaves the principal part of the charge in its full force . The only part of their correspondence with us which is to the point is the following paragraph , which we print as we received it : " but it is due to the public weal that we shoud [ should ] answer the imputation of crime : —One branch of our family has for these fourteen years past

      attended a chapel : a present inmate iu our service has long been and now is a regui ^ attendant at a chapel . The facts are now before the public : we anticipate the result . We are enjoined , indeed , to publish the whole of the letter from which this extract * made , and in spite of the manner in which the injunction is laid upon us , we sh ou have inserted it if , with the exception of the part already copied , it were not vb 0 * J irrelevant a » d scarcely intelligible ; not to mention that it contains insinuat ions ° ^ dark and serious nature . A plain fact is plainly stated by J . W . and that fact is w disproved hut confirmed by the correspondence . We have said thus much to shew »» we have not been inattentive to the subject , though we might have fairly stood ^ xcUS ^ for passing by a correspondent who concludes a letter with the threat " that if . ^^ muy reply or further notice of this transaction , " the persons referred to i € *'

      redress in another form . . in A Correspondent wishes us to insert the following notice : " If the person w o the July Repository subscribed himself J .

      been produced on the licensing of publi houses . The matter will probably tQ S * f the attention of parliament at its aext ses " sion , for when a grievance is universally felt and very generally understood and complained of , a change in the system is not far distant . This is a great advantage of our country , that by the free circulation of opinions , every matter is brought under general inspection .

      A temporary alarm has been excited oa the subject of the silver coinage , but it soon subsided . Its defects have been Ion ? known , and in due time a new coinage will sweep before it the miserable pieces which are now in circulation . It is to be hoped that the nation will learn , from the experience of the past , and never suffer their

      coin to fall again into so miserable a state . The time must come when a bad coinage must give place to a good one ; but in the change many will be the sufferers . How much better would it not be to prevent the recurrence of such an evil , by never permitting a piece of coin to pass , which has not upon its face the legal stamp .
