First of all appeared two little poems by his

of her Ladyship. Then a paragraph appeared In
tho Morning Chronicle which was conceived by
the l<ady*s friend* to imply that a conspiracy

poace. fifir ltal)>h tfoel, fitter of l*ady Byron,

that publication; but tho denial not being satis
factory t Sir Ralph wroto a letter to the editor
for immediate publication in which he states on

was the result of her own unbiassed judgment,
and that her parents and friend* interfered only
when called upon by her to ttfford her their sun*
|H>rt. The Mi tor of the Morning Chronicle
- .wished to delay the publication for a day, on
{? which Hir llalph sent Ids letter to other papers.
I'he Editor ha* since published it, together with'
? /* i}opy of hi? answer, in which lie declares that
what lie had inserted was directed against the
in(aniou:i aspersions that had been cast on Lord
Byron, anu that ho Imd written the paragraph
according to his understanding of Sir Ralph's
declaration, lis enters at some length into tho
conduct of I<ady Dyron, and says that on ask
ing why no reply was given to an application for
the specific charges against Lord Byron. Sir
'Ralph said, tho Lady acted in this by the advice
oflvr. Lushington. Sir llalph replied briefly to
?.the Editor*# loiter, stating that he might take the
responsibility on himself for what he might
choose to publish, and declining any previous
communication on tho subject. So we suppose
that the public will be amused or displeased,

ved tho following information by the arrival of
the schooner Minorca, from Rio do la Hacho :?
On the Oth inBt. a vessel arrived at Rio de la

Mated that official accounts had been received
there on the 1st of Generals Morillo and Mo
rales having attacked the independent army* un
der L'rdanetta and Turrices, near Orcanno, on
tho aflth of April, when after a severe'conflict,
tho king's troops were completely defeated, ana
Morillo was compelled to fall back upon Mom*
pox. About 400 men |itd deserted during the
engagement and joined the independents, whose,
force, it it said, amounts to 8000 men. A mail
boat with despatches from Santa Martha* touch
ed at Rio de la Hache, and after commentating
with tho commandant, proceoded for
but after being out five (lays, she returns, in
consequence, *t was said, of her having learnt
that Gen. Boh ,ar had landed near Laguira and
had obtained possession of that place.

THE LATEST.
Mw-Fork, June 13.?The brig Falcon, Lew

papern to the Tth ult. The only interesting ar
ticle i(| them is the trial of Sir Robert Wilson,
Mr. Hruco, and captain Hutchinson for aiding

of tho charppa and sentenced to three iboritr't

ment the lawprescribes for the offence.
The Duke of Wellington has returned to Pa
ris. His journev to Brussels and the Hague has
ven rise to various rumors and s|>ecufat(ons.
rivate letters give different versions of these
rumor*. We srSjoin two statements?-the first
dated the 24th April is from the Morning Chro
nicle?the other dated the 5th, is from the Cou
rier.
Purin, Jipril 04.?The Duke of Wellington
arrived in Paris on the night before lost. The1
ald-dc-camp of the Emneror Alexander, whose
arri' al hero I mentioned in iny last, brings dis
patches ot which one of the objccts is to with
draw from the Duke the command of the Rus
sian armv in France which he holds as General
issimo of the allicit f< rci'H. The precise cause
of the difference exiting between the Russian
and British cabinet*, cannot long remain a se
cret to the public?it would nppear they relate
to a settlement to a now order of things in con
templation in this country. According to tho
most prevalent opinion, tnese difference* nri'e
from pretensions set un by Russia it favor of
flic young Prince of Orange, iu event of the
reigning family of France being removed from
the throne. The expediency of tho latter mea
xure, for the general tranquility of Franco anil
of Europe, i* ?ai?l t?i he sensibly felt by the al
lies. An article which has lately apiieared in
the Belgium Monitetir, is thought to wo remark
able. under tho present circumstances. This
article, which is n most fluttering eulogy of the
young Prince ??t Orftugc. concludes with the re
mark, that the young Prince justifies already the
high destinies to which he may !>c culled. These
destinies, in the opinion of many, are obviously
the throne of France. Tho gou-mment of the
Lower Countri"* in concert with that of Russia,
are certainly taking <?te|>s in that view. They
lately made overtures to a character of great
eminence in this country, who suspccting M. de
llichelleu's fec'iings on that point, ventured to
eonfldo to him tho communication ho had re
ceived* That minister replied, " such over
ture* do not surprise me, you may Iw further
consulted on tho same subject/' Whonce it
would appear that M. de Bit hclieu is not a strati
??r to tho Russian plan* in favor of tho young
rince, and that he presides over tho govern
ment of France, a? it has always lieen thought,

l'arh, iflprll 24.?Wo arc all occupied " '
in conjectures aVid reflections of.tho
result of a treaty of alliance which is .
to have been assigned between tho Kmperor or
Itussta, llis Majesty of Plrtkstfla* and th? King
of thenethkrUnila^ilt is., skid that ibe 'object
of tho Duko'of Wellington's visit to tne Hague
was to obtain an esplartation of tho King of the
Netherlands aa to tlio intefitious of tTio high
contracting parties in this triple*alliance. The
noblo Duke is particularly interested in acquir
ing ah oxact Knowledge of Uto object of thli
treaty, as it is generally said that. Rusufe has
manifested a wish to deprive his Lordship of the
command of tho Allien Army stationed on the
French frontiers) and to oflfer it to the I'i ince of
Orange. What degree of credit is to bo attach
ed to these reports I will not say. I yesterday
heard a Russian gentloman say,' that ft was ne
cessary that Austria should cede Gat I acta to the
Rmperor Alexander, who never could or would
be satisfied until that proviuco was added to his
dominions, It appears that Russia lias become
the first friend and firm supporter of the King
of the Netherlands. To Russian influence is
attributed the little attention which has been
paid to the remonstrances of this Court, relative
to the protection and asylum afforded to the
French regicides in Belgium. Many persons
suppose that the result of this triple alliance
will bo the forming of a similar treaty between
England, France and Austria.

of the Legislature, appointed at his own request
to examine it, pronounced, after such an exami*

begs his Excellency to nominate any num
ber of honorable men to make, once more, a fnll
ami complete examination of the invontion, and
report the result, which ho requests may then be
made public, and be laid before tho legislature

Mr. RedheflTer gives proof of his own belief in

evidence of a motion that never tires.

of his European Correspondents: "There was
probably never such a time as the present tor the

Missouri, a few years ago, loaded with indige

the plants which he and his father found in
their long and diversified tours through the (J
