-Russian Fled for South America. After all the rumor and anxious expectation, in relation to the naval assistance -of -Russia to t6 old Spain, in 'reducing the Spanish American Republics to their former bondage, it appears most probable, that not a single Russian ship will ever appear against the Patriots. The last advices announce, that great exertions -were making at Cadiz to man the ships, but thaTevery effort was likely to prove abortive; that the -'chips were badly constructed, subject from the materials to premature decay, and were not likely to avail any thing important to Ferdinand and the inquisition. We never for a moment believed that Alexander would be so blind and stupid, to send his brave troops and u trepid sailors to fasten the chains of slavery on a distant people tri the new world. The object of the Russian emperor was the ag. grandizement cf his own kingdom. For his fleet he received an equivalent. His object is answered, and old Spain is left to shift for herself. Every day but Confirms the belief of all intelligent men, that the republics are rapidly hastening to sovereignty -and independence. Even Russia herself, who cannot but coincide with every other nation in Europe in despising old Spain, as one of the most degraded, contemptible nations mentioned in history, unquestionably wishes that the republics were emancipated. England, France, and Holland, wish the same. They want to see the rising emporium of trade open -1o the world under auspices that will tempt the daring efforts of commercial enterprise. They will ere long see it. Moral as well as physical causes arc rapidly combining to give triumph and glory to the patriot arms a triumph and glory, that time and the viscissitudes of ether nations cannot impair or tarnish. N.T.Col. The papers notice the lara.tion of the present king of Sweden (Bernadotte) from his wife, who resides at Paris, under the title of countess of Gothland ; the act is liable to misconstruction, but arises not out of any disaffection between the husband and wife, but has ite origin in-causes Which, the politician cannot ffeil to perceive, indicate a powerful party, adverse to the new monarch, in Sweden ; a party which has been the source indeed of all the calamities of Sweden, for two centuries ; that is the party of the nobles After Bernadotte was chosen and received as crown prince, the greatest and most marked slight was shewn to his wife j she was in fact, a solitary in the midst of a kingdom, to which her husband was the heir apparent ; the females refusing, and persevering not to visit her ; she, with a magnanimity that do her honor, determined not

to remain in a situation so embarrassing to her husband k retired to France, where she has remained. It is not necessary to remark upon this efi'ect of power in rending the dearest ties and obligations of nature and moral aftec. tion. Aurora,

Washington City, May 13. "A letter from Valparaiso, from

an American citizen, speaks in grateful terms of the attention which the government has paid to the interests of commerce, and the personal rights of our citizens, by sending a ship to the South Sea. Referring to the fact of capt, Biddle's having taken on board the Ontario certain American seamen, fcr the purpose of returning them to their country, the writer says an act of justice is thus rendered to American masters and owners, which would not be done if the Ontario was not there. The sending a national ship to this section of the Globe, is highly important to our country and its cammerce, and is highly creditable to the government."

TJPPE R C A N AD A .The Boston Palladium states, that " a political reformer, of the name of Gourlay, from England, has been lor some time busy in Upper Canada, in stirring up the people to a sense of their wretched con'dithn, and to induce them to insist on a reform and there is already considerable fermentation. The legislature has lately been adjourned in consequence of a difference with the executive authority. But Gourlay says, nothing is to be expected from a new governor, or a new representation, the fault being in the system.' He then boldly proposes the calling a Provincial Congress, the appointment of commissionerstostate their wishes to England, and the payment of a voluntary tax of one dollar a poll to defray expenses. He appoints a day for the people to meet and choose their delegates. His own proceedings and writings in the newspapers, prove that there is some liberty in Upper Canada."

iY. l .paper. The Prince Regent and the Dutches: of Parma. Of the many political events in Europe, 'there i none more calculated to excite surprise, than the marriage between these two distinguished characters : which is reported in the last London papers as about to take place. It may be recollected, that the Dutchess of Parma, the intended queen of Great Britain, is r.'.i other than the Maria Loui-a trie late empress of France. What a strange viscissitude of human affairs ; the prince regent to become at one father-in-law to young Napoleon ! Maria Louisa to be married to the very man who has deprived, her of all her greatness; and at this moment retains her husband in confinement. If this marriage takes place it is impossible to calculate or conjecture as regards the consequences which may result. The prince regent from his dissipated habits, and the broken infirm ftate of his constitution cantfot be expected to live more than a few years. Maria, Louisa the late empress of France, now the Dutchess of Parma will now be the' Queen Dowager of Great -Britain. Those who are versed in the history of courts k courtly intrigue need not be informed of the influen ce which Qeen Dowagers always h'jld in the concerns of a nation. The time may come says Junius, "when Dowagers may be chaste, and minions honest" but that time we believe is not yet in England. 'Nci ther Maria Louisa nor her son Napoleon it is presumed, will be

forgetful of those natural duties which they owe, the one to a husband ; the other to a father. Bonaparte may therefore again be restored if not to his former greatness ; yet. to the head of the government of England. The intrigues of an adultress first made him consul, and then emperor of France, and it may be his fate to be yet raised to the throne of England by the grateful affection of his former consort. Both Ministerial and opposition prints, speak of the intended nuptials as a matter of no secrecy. They say Maria Louisa the Dutchess of Parma is expected every day in England, and that the divorce of the prince regent from the princes of Wales will be the first subject brought before parliament.
