SOUTH AMERICA. Some documents•have reached us by a vessel from he river Plate, which, though not of a very late date, are interesting, A dispatch from Lord Strangford, British Minister at the Brazils, addres,sed to Elio, Governor of Monte Video, contains the following passage : 44 At a time when the most perfect unanimity and the most complete and simultaneous concurrence of all our means are required for the sole important ob ject of resisting France, it is surely much to be lamen :ed, that the Rood cause should be injured by the dis sentious which have so long prevailed in La Plata, And which cannot but be useful the common ene my : and mo.t certainly they are in the wrong who lupp )se, that, in the present crisis, Great Britain can Approve of the alienation of part of the Spanish Mo narchy. 4 , It is true. that Great Britain does not pretend to Anterfere in the internal concerns of Spani , h Ame rica ; ben, as a common friend to all its provinces, and as trnly interested in the constant application of all its means to the same object, she cannot but wish to put an end to a contest so injurious to her allies, and to the cause which they defend. 66 Agreeably to these principles, I hasten to offer to your Excellency, in the most cordial and sincere manner, an.l in the name of my Court, the assistance and good offices of the British Government, for the prirpo-e of coming to a friendly compromise of the differences which have arisen between Spain and the Government of Buenos Ayres. lam quite certain that the mediation will be mcst readily undertaken by Great Britain, and viewed with satisfaci ion by her ally. It has, in fact, been already offered - to, and ac cepted by other parts of the Spanish monarchy whose situation, with regard to Spain, is perfectly similar to that in which Buenos Ayres is placed at present. 44 I think it unnecessary to detail to your Excel lency the claims which Great Britain has to the con fidence of Spain, or the grounds on which the latter may, in this instance, entrust, with perfect security, her interestslo the management of her ally. 41 I make this proposal to your Excellency, in the confidence that it kill meet w;th your approbation ; the more so, as l infer from your Excellency's letter that you are determined to use every means of conci liation and mildness, previous to resorting to force— a resolution which it is impossible to commend as much as it deserves. If your Excellency should agree to this proposal, the first step to be taken for carrying it into effect, would, of course, be the conclusion of an armistice between your Excellency and the Government of. Buenos Ayres; stipulating, on'the one hand, the re cal of the several military expeditions which have been sent out from Buenos Ayres ; and on the other, the cessation of the blockade of that city. That armi stice might, if necessary, be guaranteed by the Com manding Officer of the British forces on the station ; and the duration of the same might be protracted um. til the filial settlement of all the differences between Spain and her colonies, to be brought about by the friendly interposition of Great Britain. [Here follows a Letter from Lord Strangford to the Board of Buenos Ayres, and the answer of the Board.] [Next is a Letter to the Viceroy from the Princess of Brazil, of which the following is a translation :] 66 I have received thy letter of the Ist of May last, in which thou describest to me the lamentable state to which Monte Video is reduced—a piece of intel ligence greatly distressing to one, who, like me, has always taken the liveliest interest in the welfare of its inhabitants. 44 I shall always be inclined to do for the Spaniards whatever they might expect from a good mother; and, therefore, I could not regard with indifference thy request, that I would obtain from my august spouse the succours thou art in need of, to defend , against the attacks of the factious of Buenos Ayres, the most faithful city of Monte Video, entrusted to thy care and command. 64 My anxious wish to come to thy assistance was not yet gratified; and, therefore, renewing my just solicitations, I obtained from the Prince the order which I inclose, and the original of which has, this very day, been forwarded to RRio Grande ; and I be lieve that, when thou shalt receive this, the Portu uese troops will already be upon their march, if they had not already proceeded to thy assistance, pursuant to former orders, and in compliance with thy applica tion to the officer commanding at Porto Alegre. 64 And, lastly, I recommend and beg that thou wilt exhort those loyal subjects to persevere undis mayed ; and assure them, in my name, that they will never want what assistance it is in my power to give them. , 4 They may likewise depend upon my never being concerned in any thing that can directly or indirectly be detrimental to them, or against the interests of my beloved brother, or of those of my native country. • May Gon, &c.—Palace of Rio Janeiro, June 8, 1811.—Thy Infanta, (Signed) go CARLOTA JO&QUINA BORDON.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. , Stn—l am confident tliat you will readily give a place in your Paper to any observations, whichiaay tend to promote the detection of the perpetrators of the murder in Ratcliffe-highway; allow me therefore to remark, that I understand our Proclamations are published in our own language only, and I submit, I that in order to make the circumstances of the Re ward and Pardon offered at length by Government, !generally known, the Proclamation should be pulp ! fished, without delay, in the Italian, French, Spanish, and Portuguese Languages; and any other which might be calculated to lead to the discovery of the offenders. I confess that the occurrence is so revolting to the feelings of human nature, and so directly in opposition to our national character, that I cannot persuade my (self an Englishman has been concerned in it-...but 1 without disparagement to other countries in particu lar, I call for the step, as one of general policy, and as circulating more widely the temptation to impeach- I ment. lam Sir, your's &c. I. T. W, EXAMINATION OF SUSPECTED PERSONS. SHA nwELL -OFFicE.— Yesterday Thomas Knight, a man in the employ of Messrs. Sims and Co. who had been detained on suspicion of being concerned in the late murder at Ratcliffe, underwent another long and minute examination. The woman at whose house the prisoner lodged, contradicted the greater part of her former evidence, viz. in respect to his frock being wet, &c. Other witnesses proved that the prisoner came home at a quarter past twelve ; and the landlord of the King's Arms public-house stated, that he was at his house till eleven. The Magistrates then interrogated the prisoner as to the manner he devoted his time between the hour of eleven and till a quarter past twelve. lie answered that he went to another public-house and drank a I glass of gin ; afterwards he went to a pawnbroker's opposite to Shadwell Church, and took out some pledges, which story was found exactly correct, and the Magistrates were satisfied that the chasm in the time was satisfactorily accounted for, and saw no rea son~ The prisoner related his journey to Portsmouth, the object of his going, the particulars of his deten tion at Godalming, and asserted his innocence in the completest manner. Mr. Sims, his master, assured the Magistrates he would again take him in his employ, advance him' money to bring his wife to London, and lend him some for immediate purposes. The Magistrates here produced to the Court and to the witnesses, the dreadful instrument, called a pin.rnattl, with a description given how the unfortu tunate family received their death-blow. It was com pletely stained with blood. Another man was brought to the Office by Clan non and Goff, the officers of Union-hall, on a charge of uttering most improper language, in a public. house on Sunday last. He stated that he knew that seven or eight men were employed to commit the murder by a near relative of the deceased. He was' secured and examined before G. Hides, Esq. of Union Hall Office, and afterwards sent by the wor thy Magistrate to this Office, to give an account of himself. _ _ _ The prisoner stated himself to be an invalid boat swain ; that he was employed as captain to a party of workmen in unloading timber in the Surrey canal ; that he had a fractured skull, and when he got drunk, he did not know what he said ; declared he knew no- thing of the murder, and he was sorry he had used such shocking words. The prisoner underwent a close investigation by the Learned Magistrate. The account he gave of himself was no ways satisfactory, and the Magistrate, ordered him to be remanded till further inquiry should be made. Two Portuguese are in custody, on suspicion, and will be examined this evening at Lambeth-street-office. QuICEN-SQUARE.—Monday a corporal of the:Guards deposed, that as Ile was passing, on Saturday evening, the White Horse Cellar, Piccadilly, he was accosted by one man, in company with another—each of them had a bundle and stick ; he enquired of the witness, whether the Plymouth coach was soon going out ? and said if he would go in and ask, he would give ' him something to drink, which task he performed, and, on his return, told the person who sent him on the message, that the book-keeper said no coach would go for Plymouth before four o'clock in the I morning. The person who had employed the ss fit ness whispered his friend, and turned to the witness and said, that will not do, and gave him two-pence htilfpenny. The witness saw a paper drop from the person, which he took possessidn of. They went to wards Hyde Park Corner. The substance was as follows gg My dear Friends—The rumour is great, and the deed we have done is great. I think it expedient we should leave England as soon as possible, of course you will meet me at the old rendezvous. I remain your sworn friend. 68 PATRICK MAIIONY." The Magistrates commended the conduct of the corporal, and directed the officers would be on the alert to apprehend the suspicious persons. MORE SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.—A respectable Solicitor, residing in Charles-street, Bedford-rove, on Monday received a letter from a correspondent at Chester, stating, that two men of very suspicious ap pearance had been apprehended the preceding day, at that place, who, it appeared, were endeavouring to effect their escape to the sister kingdom. They have been examined before a Magistrate, and have made a sort of partial confession ; from which it appears very probable, that, if they are not principals, they have a complete knowledge of the circumstances at tending this diabolical transaction. An officer of po lice is dispatched to conduct them to town. Sunday night, the house of Mr. Purkis, oilman, of Chancery-lane, was broke open and robbed of some hams, several articles of plate, and other property. A few nights since, a journeyman coach-maker returning home over Putney Common, was stopped and robbed by two loomed:, who took from him 121. which was his all ; and had just received it from master AS his wage:. A most uncommonly thick fog came on at Glas gow on Tuesday se'nnight, and was so Very dense, that, at noon, it was necessary to use caulks in the Trongate. Irittlll M ingit LIFE.

INSOLENCE OF FOREIGN VALETS! Yesterday the clamant pugilistic Champion of England, the celebrated Mr. Gulley, was charged at Marlborough-street Office, with an assault on a ser vant of the Honourable Cochrane Johnson, in Princes street. It appeared that the prosecutor and his com panion (both blacks), were walking arm in arm at a slow pace on the narrow part of the pavement, so that the passengers behind them could not pats without getting into the mud. Mi. Gulley, who was urgent to get on, tapped the prosecutor gently on the shoul der, and very politely begged his permission to pass, which he, in unbecoming language, refused, (not knowing his man) by telling him there was plenty of room there! (meaning the kennel.) Gulley re monstrated in a temperate manner, but to no purpose. An altercation ensued, terminated by a willing, in which the prosecutor lost a tooth, but received a black eye as a compensation. Mr. Gulley was ordered to find bail, which he instantly did, and was dismissed. MA RLBOROUGH•STREET. —Monday, John Davison,l a servant, was charged with having intruded him self into the service of Mrs. Stacey, of Somerset street, by means of a letter, purporting to have been written by a Solicitor in the City, speaking in high terms of the prisoner's conduct. It appeared in evi dence that the prisoner had lived in the solicitor's ser vice, but had been dismissed for dishonest conduct, without being prosecuted. His conduct in Mrs. Stacey's service gave rice to a suspicion that she bad been imposed upon, and she applied to a Mr. George, who keeps a Register Office, to ascertain the fact.— It turned out that the letter and its signature were altogether fabrication. ; and in default of paying a film of 120, the prisoner was sentenced to six months imprisonment in Coldbath-fields prison. The servant of Lord H. who stood charged with an attempt to poison a family in Maddox-street, has, under all the circumstances of the case, been admit ted to bail, to answer the charge at the Old Bailey ; facts having transpired which demonstrated that the Act was not done from malicious motives, but rather from ignorance. Union HALL.—Yesterday Joseph Bruit Aso and Sarah Somers apprehended by Goff, were charged by Joseph Arnoldi with stopping him on the King's highway, knocking him dowsn', and robbing h:m.ot a bag containing aluantity of boot legs and vamps.— The prisoners were fully committed.
