We have received to-day accounts P ' B uenas' Buenas' Ayre, to the -25th April, and frosts 4auctice to the 9th of May. The extracts which we haw* given in another part will famish the Reader with a picture of the present state of affair's on the MG sir la Plata. By the brig Alexander, which left Um in com pany with the ANDROMAGUE and•Btossom ftigates, and arrived at Rio Janeiro on the 24th April, intelli gence from Lima had been received to the 14th of February. It his beets before stated, that Lord COCURA.ITE had been met by these vessels, within one day's sail of Callao. it appears that the Captain of the Laataro. out of Lord Cocuttauit's squadron,; hailed the Aunaostacsta, sad desired to know what vessel she had is company (meaning the Alexander), ; and to whom the property on board of her belonged, professing an intention of searching her. Captain; SHIMMY, declared his tesaksticas of opposing this proceeding; but, fearing the threat 'wonld be car ried into execution, removed the passengers, trea-j sure, and letters, from on board. in the evening, the Latium actually boarded and searched the Alexander, but found nothing worth taking. The, Officers of the Alexander , on the information of the crew of the Ulnas°, related that it was the in tention of the Chilian squadten to make the attack oa the harbour of Callao on the evening of the Car nival (the 22d.0f February), when it was supposed the Spaniards would be thrown off their guard by the festivities usual at that season. This account nearly tallies, in point of date, with that lately re ceived by the Jamaica papers. Both Lima and Callao, hi the last ad vices received from that quarter, are 1- , ,,"-resented in a state of excellent defence. The en trance to Callao was strongly protected by batteries, behind which was stationed the naval force, consist ing cf about 40 vessels of war of different descrip tions; in the rear of these, fur the more effectual se- curity, were placed the merchant-vessels. In Lima itselt a considerable military force was collected, amounting, by some accounts, to nearly 8,000 men ; and PEzust.A had formed a plan to arm the slaves, in order to repel the threatened expedition from Chili ; but the inhabitants were alarmed at a measure which they considered desperate, as the slave population is large in the vallies of Lima. Yesterday the Duke of YORK and Prince LEOPOLD visited the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton-House. Tuesday PRINCE Leorote gave a grand dinner to the Duke and Duchess of Yostx, at Marlborough House. Among The distinguished characters present to meet their Royal Highnesses were—the Duke and Duchess of BEAUFORT, the Duke and Duchess de SAN CARLOS, Earls Of HARDWICKE, MULGRAVE, MOUNT EDOCUMB, SCARBOROUGH', andHARROWISY— Countesses MULGRAVE, HARROWBV—Viscount PAL MERBTON, Lord and Lady GRANTHAM. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE left Meinin gen ,on the Mix ultimo, and are now established at the Batts of Liebenstein, where it is said her Royal Highness will remain to enjoy the tepid bath for month or two. _ _ _ The greatest satisfaction was experienced last night by a numerous and fashionable audience from Dr. TitottsToN's Lecture on the Human System and Ex hibition of the wonderful effects of the Nitrous Oxyd, or Laughter and DAncing exciting Gas. The Room was so crowded, that numbers went away unable to obtain admission. Yesterday a ballot was taken at the East India House for the election of a Director in the room of liAmurt DAvis, Esq. deceased. At sir o'clock the glasses were closed and delivered to the scrutineers, who reported the election to have fallen on JOHN GOLDSBOROUGH RAVENSHAW, Esq. In addition to the lamentable statements respecting the poor inhabitants of Sutherlandshire having their dwellings burnt in order to compel their emigration' from the land of their forefathers (to which they are Enthusiastically attached), it is asserted, but we hope without truth. that certain persons, pretending to be employed by the Marquis of STAFFORD, have threat ei:en the neighbouring Farmers, that if they shall give any shelter to these poor outcasts, they will be oeprived of their Iduses.—We give this statement as iL kas leached its, order that the pqrsor.s concerned nay contradict thesk reports, as we cannot believe the Nobleman alluded to could for cue moment sanction such proceedings. ‘imlC • • ‘;14040 MEETINGS. 11.• I . . , BA I,NSLET tit 071;71t.ETINV, JULY 12. :-According to previous notice, a Public Reform Meeting% %vat held here, this evening, on May-day- Green. The number of persons assembled was va riously estimated at from his to eight thousand—a number by no means so great as might have beenex pected, when it is known that Barnsley, and all the adjacent places are thickly inhabited, chiefly by linen weavers, vast numbers of whom are; at the present time, destitute of employment. ' . . Mr. THOMAS FERRYMAN was called to the Chair (placed in a cart) ; and he opened the Meeting by reading the Requisition for calling the same. He af• towards briefly addressed the assembly, by assuring them that he had been a staunch Reformer for these 20 years past, and should always continue so. He proceeded—" It is lamentable that our nation, once the pi aise of the world—once as the Ark of Noah, and as the Garden of Eden, with laws that would snake men happy; and these laws now trampled un der the feet of 'mankind, and half the nation on the borders of starvation. How often has England been ,compared to the Garden of Eden—and what is it now ? it is covered over with taxes, with Ministerial r corritpiim and with every thing that tends to mike • 9 ntsMitind miserable. Taxation i: and CoMinerce : are nearly ruined, and the majority of the Foreign Powers will not barter with (Addressing some respectable-looking persons who stood near,)—" You,' Gentlemen, Will very shortly become like us. I well remember it is said HI Pro vechs--.. The turning away of the people shall slay them--the turning away of fools shall destroy them.: . And now are our Rulers like the false Prophet Ba, laarn, when on his journey he smote the dumb ass, and the ass spoke again ! We have been the dumb as;— we hare made no resistance till we could bear no longer. Debt and starvation are so accumulated, we can no longer support them. Then,, come forward— unite with us in calling aloud for Constitutional Li holy, against the Boroughmongering System, and the profligacy of Ministers !" He concluded by ex honing the assemblage to conduct themselves peace ably and orderly. Mr. RICHARD JACKSON . then came forward, and read the Resolutions (six in number), whicb'were in substance—" that the principles of Nature never au thorised one man to make laws for another without his consent; that whatever authority my man pos sesses, is solely derived from the People—conse quently, if any Government cease to answer the pur pose for which it was appointed, the People have a right to call their Governors to account ; that the distress which we now suffer, has originated in a base and profligate expenditure of the public money, which has brought taxation to such an extent as to have nearly destroyed op: Manufactures and Commerce, and precipitated the country from the pinnacle of prosperity to the verge or ruin ;—that the men who compose the present Parliament, by their conduct in supporting a system of profligate extravagance, and the imposition of new taxes, have shewn that they do not represent the people—they have basely betrayed the interests of the nation, and shewn to the world that they are unworthy of confidence ! ! !—That the eternal principles of justice entitle every man of mature age, who is not disqualified by crime or mental derangement, to an equal vote in choosing the national Representatives. Lastly, in order to guard against the abuse of Power, it is necessary that the people should elect their Representatives an nually." After the Resolutions had been put, and unani mously carried, Mr. BRAYSH A W (a Schoolmaster, of Yeadon, and Teacher among the Sect denominated Free-thinking Christians) addressed the Meeting from a written paper, which, when copied, occupied fifteen' , post-folios. He went over the old topics urged at Hunsler, Moor, and exhorted the people to meet once a week, for the purpose of storing their rinds with useful.knowledge on the subject of Reform, by which means they would become champions in the cause of freedom, and superior to the craft of spies and informers ; and be enabled to speak in a voice which should make even tyranny itself to tremble !—(Here Mr. Brayshaw made some gross attacks on the con ductors of the Public Press). —The following passage in this person's speech, must be considered highly reprehensible : He had been denominated a Preacher among the Free-thinkers—A , I will here add, that I am neither Priest nor Preacher ; and I will farther add, that I never can be one, so long as I continue to believe in Christianity ! But do not mistake me ; Ido not wish you to be without religion. lam sa tisfied that true religion is One of the greatest bles sings conferred on man. I am a firm believer in Christianity ! Jesus, the founder of our system, was one of the greatest Reformers that ever appeared on earth! He died a martyr to the glorious ;awe, and lam not ashamed to follow his example H r...-At the conclusion of his speech, Brayshaw read an Appeal to the People, in which he exhorted them 14 come boldly forward to lend their assistance to cleanse away the filth of corruption, and restore the treedasi . of their native land. Mr. WrLtAar, Printer, of Dewsbury, (who was mainly instrumental in unmasking the notnrioni] Oliver) next came forward, and addressed the M 44. ing at considerable length, but in more, gentlepuntly' and proper language than the preceding speaker. After several other speakers had briefly delivered their sentiments, the Meeting broke up, and the mul titude dispersed to their respective homes. At the close of the proceedings, though every thing went on peaceably before, ar. attempt was made by ' some scoundrels in the garb of gentlemen, to induce the people to commit acts of violence ; but the good sense of the populace happily frustrated their base attempt, and they separated peaceably without any accident occurring. LEEDS, JULY as. A Reform Meeting was held yesterday evening at Barnsley (16 miles from this place), which was at tended by many persons from this district. There were various speakers, and some of them for a great length of time, and several Resolutions quite of the Ultra descriptioa, were passed by the Meeting. You have already been informed that another Pub lic Meeting has been resolved on to be held at the old spot, Hunslet Moor, on Monday next. Large Bills have been posted in this town and throughout the neighbourhood, entitled " LEEDS PUBLIC MEETING," announcing the object of the Meeting to be "for the purpose of taking into consideration the distressed state of our Country, and of making a solemn APPEAL to the people of Great Britain, praying them to join in forming A NATIONAL LNION to obtain our constitutional rights ; also to ;Islopt.such measures as will give speedy relief to our starving countrymen." The Posting Bill has seven teen names, attached to it. I need hardly add that such proceedings, of the possible result of which it is impossible. to make any correct estimate, excite no small degree of alarm and apprehension in the minds of considerate men. We have every reason to believe that a system of "concert and co-operation has already been organized throughout a great pin of the Kingdom ; for we istave learnt, that as soon as the lltinslet Moor Meet ing shall have finished its business on Monday, the Delegates, and principal Leaders among the Re formers.hete, twill set off by the Mail and other con veyances fot London, to attend the Meeting in Smith field on Wednesday, the 21st inst. s l• • e, • . I N WEAVERS OF MONTGOMERYSHIRE. We are sorry to state that there has been a little disturbance among the Weavers at Newtown, Mont gomeryshire. It appears that the Manufacturers had it in contemplation, on account of the indifferent state of trade, to lower the wages of their work people, but had come to no determination thereon. The latter, however, immediately took the alarm. and began to assemble at different times in the Park; and, on Saturday last, marched into the town in a very disorderly manner, and broke the windows of Mr. J. WILLIAbIS and Mrs. DAvtes.---Symii toms of inclination to do farther injury appear ing on Monday, the Manufacturers very properly applied to the Magistrates, who immediately swore in a considerable number of Special Constables, and directed them to secure the ringleaders, and also or dered a troop of the Montgomeryshire Cavalry to assemble at Abermule, and hold themselves in readi ness at a moment's notice. By the activity of the Constables, several of the ringleaders were appre hended, two of whom were sent off to Montgomery Jail, and several others concerned have, we are in fotmed, decamped, for fear of being taken. BITZMINGHAM, JULY 14. RETURN OF SIR CHARLES WOLSELET, BART. MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR BIRMINGHAM ! Yesterday a Public Meeting of this town was held on New Hall-hill, a piece of ground forming a na tural kind of amphitheatre, and from the extent of the crowd, which completely filled the area of 120 yards by about 6.5, not less than 50,000 people were tresent. A platform was erected in the centre. Mr. 'nstoriOs (schoolmaster) took the Chair, and read a letter from Sir Charles Wolseley, stating the death of Lady Wolseley, his mother, and accounting for his necessary absence, under such affliction. 3lr. Ed monds then addressed the crowd at length, and was followed by Mr. MADDOCKS (another schoolmaster,) who was succeeded by Mr. Lewis (a schoolmaster of Coventry, and the same person who spoke at Stock port). These persons proposed that Sir Oran Les WOLSELEY should be sent up to Parliament as " Le gislatorial Attorney and Representative of Birming ham." The issuing of a writ being compulsory, they had not awaited, the form of the mandate, but antici pated the right. The privilege constitutionally be longed to them, and they were fulfilling their duty as good subjects, in proceeding to advise the Sove reign by their Representative. If they had not been commanded so to do, the error rested with others! The Baronet was then nominated, and secon.do pro forma —duly proposed, and elected, amidst the thundering acclamations of one undivided multitntin.. The shew of a forest of hands was a striking and in s f teresting view, every person being distinctly visible, to each other. A long and tedious Remonstrance to Parliament was read, which the new-elected Mem ber was to presentto the House, and demand of the Speaker his place in the Commons Assembly. A De putation was proposed to wait on Sir C. Wot.ser-av i . and give him the necessary instructions of his Con stituents. Sir CHARLES had previously promised them to go arid claim his seat in the House, if they elected him. This will, at least be a new and inte resting case for the next 'Session. Mr. T. J. WOOLER addressed the crowd, congra tulating the people of Birmingliam on having taken their proper ground and rank in the empire ! Major CARTWRIGHT said a few words, in the way Of returning thanks for the honour of nine hwzzas, rendered to his exertions in the. cause of Reform. The business of the ,Aleeting occupied three hours. Ihe..utmost order and attegtiun were observed ; and his immense assembly broke up, and retired to their ltomes with as much regulgrity sled• tranquillity as Hugh. returning from Ar Fohloo, o-•wor{bip, . . kirks a pure example •to other place* ip the mpg's:a and statorrupied exercise of the Mediae Franchise. . • The principal speakers dined • tphyether•afterwatds at the Pump Tavel u. CONFISCATION OF BRITI.'aI PAUPER,' IN SPAIN. The Merchants of the City connected with the S T nish trade, have been thrown into great alarm. advices yesterday it is stated, that an order had received from Madrid, a few weeks ago, for imp diate Returns of all British Manufactured Goods, in the different towns of Spain, (which h a d been allowed for sale since the prohibition, on the English Merchants paying a large sum of money t o the Spanish Government.) On these Returns re.ting the 'capital, an Official Decree was published, coca. pelling the English Merchants to pay immediately the whole amount of the valued stock in hind, in cath, to the Officers of Government, and a further lase of 20 per cent. on that amount; intimating that otherwise theit property, of every description, nuald be confiscated.

It appears by the following extract of a ietter re. ceived from the Agents for Lloyd's at Genoa, dated Jtily 3, that there is some probability of hostilities havinF been declared by Algiers against Spain: " V‘e have just seen two letters which a Catalonian firm cf this city has received—one is dated the 19th ultimo, from Bar celona, the other the 40th ultimo, from St. Vibes. The fire. states, it was reported there that the Algerines were going to declare war against Spain and Holland, and therefore it would be prildent fcr the Spanish vessels to be on their guard. The second says This morning, at nine o'clock, we received the ' ,ad news that the 4lgerines have declared war against Spain. We must request you will acquaint all the mantis of Spanish vessels of it, ands likewise send this Intelligence forward to An cona, Venice, &c. It seems that the writer of this news it owner of several vessels. The master of a small Catalonian boats who is arrived here, and left Cadaques last Sunday, the x7th ultimo,. we learn, has reported the same news, namely, that an express had arrived there from Baicelana, to put masters of ves sels on their guard. It Is said that the above master has further added, that a Spanish frigate, which had been sent to Algiers with the usual presents, had returned to Spain without having been recojved there. We cannot guarantee the authenticity of these facts, especially as it 'seam the Spanish Consul has received no official advice about theni, but think it our duty to report them, as we have collected them, for the information of the sub scribers to Lloyd's." A Letter from Palermo, dated the 23d ultimo, states, that a Military Conscription has been orderd throughout Sicily. The measure Iva.; likely to Ee extremely unpopular, as the Sicilians for a very low; period have held themselves exempt f:om compulsive service in the Army. An extract of a letter irom Liverpool, dated July 12, says—" A serious riot took place here this day, in consequence of the processicn of an Orange Lodge of Freemasons parading the streets, with a baud of music, and dressed out in all their insignia, with orange-coloured ribands and Bags, this being the anniversary of the battle of the Boyne. A party of Irishmen who were determined to oppose them, as sembled fur that purpose at the bottom of Shaw's Brow, and assaulted the m,m , bers of the club with bricks, &c. by which several individuals were very much injured ; but the Police were soon on the alert, and having taken five or six of the ringleaders into custody, all is now quiet."
