By the arrival of the Canada packet ship,which sailed from New York on tile 16th uh. we have papers up to that date. A Baltimore Journal of the 11th contains intelligence firm Porto Cavallo, of the 18th October, stating that BOLIVAR and CANTERAC had met, and a general battle had taken place, in which CANTERAC v as killed and his army routed. It is said that BOLIVAR lost 6,000 men in the engagement, but that Lima and Cal lao are in his possession. The defeated were flying be fore him. BOLL visa's army, previous to the bank, is said to have amounted to fifteen thousand men., This account, it will be seen, is very vague, neither the date when, nor place where the battle took place being mentioned; the loss on the part of the victors also appears out of all proportion to that of the com batants. It will be recollected also, that CANTERAC was said to have been killed in the battle of Junin, in the beginning of August last. The following is the extract from the Baltimore Paper of the llth ultimo:— EROS! THE NEW YORK GAZETTE. We have perused a letter from Porto Cabello, dated 18th of last month (October), from which we extract the following paragraph. " We yesterday received news from Peru; Bolivar and Canterac have met, and had a general action, in which the latter was killed, and his army routed. Bolivar had fifteen thousand men, and lost six thousand in killed and wounded : he has possession of Li ma and Callao; he drives all before him:, This forenron we received German Papers to the 2d The Allgemeine Zeitung of the preceding day contains an article on the recent actions betwevn the Greek and Tut kish and Egyptian fleets, which are stated as by no means so disastrous to the latter as had been previously representei, and yet the successes acknow ledged to have been gained by the Greeks are very con siderable. It is now again said, that InnAutai PACIIA, son of the Viceroy of Egypt, so far Irom being taken Fri soner, has been appointed to the command of the Turkish and Egyptian fleets. The folluwing is the article to 'which we allude : inst. MARSEILLES, NOVEMBER Is. According to the latest accounts from the Levant, the Egyptian fleet has not by any means suffered such extensive losses as was stated in preceding reports. The following particulars are said to he certain :—When the Egyptian fleet, after the action of the 10th Sept. had left its station at Boudroun, to follow the Captain Paella to Samosabrahini Pacha ordered his transports, of he could not make any immediate use, to sail down the Bay o Stanchio, as far as Koisidek, and made the troops, which had suffered enrich by sickness, go on slime, and take up a camp along the coast. The , transports, which had on board a great quantity of military stores, ammunition, and valuable effects, were got into the hatbour. At the entrance of the Bay, Ibrahim Pacha left a division of eight men of war,' which have not since quitted"their station. Thb rest of the fleet accompanied him, and lost some vessels in the actions which took place in the course of September ; but in the beginning of October the fleet was still toge ther, with the exception of some greatly damaged ships. which were sent back to the Bay of Stanchio. Ibrahim (vitro, it thus appears, was far from being taken pri soner), received, at this time, a letter from the Sultan, announcing his appointment to the chief command o f the Turkish and Egyptian fleets, by which the com plaints which he had made were remedied. The Captain Pacha was at the s;r me time summoned to Coastantinople. On the sth of October, Ibrahim took upon him the command of the united fleets, which did not appear to be agreeable to the subaltern Turkish Commanders.— He was on the point of making several new regu lations, when the Greeks unexpectedly attacked him on the 6th. This attack took place between Chios and Mitylene. The Egyptian ships defended themselves, but the Turks fled, and sought refuge in the roads of Mitylene, where several of their ships were destroyed on the night of the 7th, by the Greek fire-ships. —lbrahim did not arrive in time to save them. The Greeks then turned against him, and used their fire A)ips with such effect, that on the 10th of October seve ral Egyptian ships were burnt. This was in a manner the signal for the dispersing of the Egyptian fleet, yet the commander succeeded in re-assembling the greater part of tbem, and returning with them to the entrance of the gulf of Stanchio, where the transports and the division of the fleet left for their protection, were to join him, and return to Alexandria. The Greeks pursued him. Those Egyptian ships of war which were separated from the fleet are partly taken, and part have escaped to Candia ; tilde Turkish ships which were not burnt or greatly damaged on the 7th October, let the harbour of Mitylene, and returned into the Dardanelles. We have received the French Papers of Monday and the Etoile of Tuesday. The Quotidienne, the Consti tutionnel, and the Journal des Debats insinuate that the measure of evacuating Spain by the French troops is not definitely settled. The Etoile however, which has better sources of intelligence, observes on this subject : " The Journal des Debats, the Constitutionnel, and the Quotidienne, announce to-day to their readers that the evacuation of Spain by the French troops will not take place. The Journal des Debals and the Constitutionnel give a letter from Madrid, dated Nov. 28, received by an extraordinary channel, which brings this news. The Quotidienne says, that a courier was to set t•ff -the day before yesterday (last Sunday) or yesterday, to carry an order for suspending the movement of the troops. Not withstanding all these assertions, we persist in saying, that the evacuation was to commence on the let December." The Etoile also denies that it is intended to augment the troops left in Spain, as they will be sufficient to garrison the several places, and leave a small corps at Vittoria. Among the French Generals who, by an Ordon !lance of the Ist instant, ar e put on the retired list, we find the names of GROUCHY, VA NDAMME, DROUOT, and THIESAUT. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

The merry dance continued till one o'clock, when the grand dining room was opened, and a most sump tuous princely banquet was displayed, in the setting out of a most splendid display of plate on the tables and sideboards. The principal table was in the form of what is called a horse-shoe, at which their Royal High nesses presided, and entertained their numerous and distinguished guests with every delicacy that could be procured. There was a great profusion of pines, grapes, and the most delicious After supper, dancing was resumed, which was kept up with great spirit till nearly four o'clock. THE REMONSTRANCE.

The grand Roman staircase will be a magnificent ob ject; indeed, it is thought that it will vie with that celebrated one in Northumberland House. The entrance from Park-lane (it was heretofore in Hertford street) will lead into a large square hall, and in line with the street doer will be a corridor of great length, leading into one of the finest rooms, for a picture gallery, in Europe. BLACKHEATH. The Assembly at the Green Man Hotel, on Monday list, drew a full, fashi,nable, and brilliant company.

THE WEATHER. EDINBURGH, DECEMBER 6. The frost was more intense yesterday than it has been at any time this season, the thermometer, in the morn ing, standing so low as 21 degrees. In the evening, however, we had another change to thaw, is Wei con tinues, with a strong wind from the southward, accom panied by rain. CARLISLE, DECEMBER 4. December has been ushered in by a heaiy fall of snow, particularly to the southward, where in some places it covers the ground to so great a depth as to render the roads nearly impassable. OnWednesday evening, from the great quantity of snow falling and the density of the fog, the London mail was unable to proceed farther than Bowes, and did not reach Carlisle until four hours after its proper time of arrival i" the Manchester mail was two hours later than usual. MONTROSE, DECEMBER 2. Since our last, the frost has been severe, accompanied with some partial falls of snow. The snow appears to have fallen in greater quantities in the north, as the Royal Mail, for the South, stuck this morning in a wreath of snow, between Stonehaven and Bervie. The Mail was, in consequence, brought forward in a post-chaise. We understand that a deputation of West India Proprietors had an interview with the Fart of Livzseooc yesterday at Fife House, to request his sanction of an application to his Ma jesty's Government to permit Distillation from Sugar. They wese also to communicate the amount of the Subscriptions to the New West India Company, which is said to he no less than 4,000,000/. It is reported that J. A. S. WORTLEY, Esq. M.P. for the county of York, is soon to be called to the Upper House, by the tide of Baron WA lINCLIFF. The Fret,ch Ministers, on the suggestion of French merchants, have, it is said, determined to render the operations of Comm) ce as extended as possible, and to remove some of these restrictions which have heretofore confined the foreign intercourse of French merchants. With this view a Treaty was daily expected to be eke cuted with: the Minister of the Republic of Hayti, which would recognise the Independence of that Island, and would also acquire for France considerable com mercial preferences in the [lade with Europe of het former Colony. ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC. It would be unjust to the eminer.t Professot s emplo, e d in this Establishmen, not to orifice the I:1 oficiencv d:s. played by their Pupils. The Weekly Conte; TL:. derden-street, are given in a very correct a:id So Ni i rr manner, and generally attract a fathionable and c:o w d e audience. The juvenile compositions of the Students are brought for wad, and forth an agreeable novelty h i t c performances. Three of the boys, Masters Lochs, DIE, anti PHIPPS, have each produced Overture s , have experienced a very flittering reception. Ti, ey , :e pleasing compositions, and display Considerable t a l ent; and great plaice is due to the juvenile Orchestra for 11:e precision and spirit with which they were perfoimed. It is not unreasonable to anticipate that their c„„. certs din ing the approaching season will attract derable notice in the musical world, and procure forthit national school a farther increase of public patronage, THE - WESTMINSTER PLAY: Our Readers are too well acquainted with tlf. cl lc. sisal exhibitions, to render it necessary for us to e , iter into an explanation of the place of reil - e:entation, scenery, decorations, &c. or t say mote of th e a ,,d,. ence, than that it compri , ..ed, as it always does, a nu m . her of distinguished individuals, the relations and Ili:lid s of the young Gentlemen, who either filled the cildr ic . tern of the present. P;:sy, or may aspire to a simila; tinction on a future occasion. TERENCE is generally (we believe invariably) the au thor selected for represen►ation; rather, we presume, from the classical than moi al put ity of his produrtions. In the present instance the Pl:ty w:ls The Photerio, of which the following is a short outline : Chremes, an Athenian, marries the rich Nausistrata, by whom he has a son named Pledria. Afterwards, in the isle of !ammo:, he takes another wife, by whom he has a daughter named Puanius, whom, at the age of 15, he agrees to marry to his nephew Antipho, the son of Demipho. Afterwards Dentipho travels into (Vida; and Chremes, under the name of Stilpho, into Lemnos, to burg home to Athens, Phanius, with her mother. The latter, however, dies on shipboard. Antipho accidentally seeing Phanius at the fu• neral of her mother, falls in love with her, and, by tie counsel ••° the parasite Phormio, marries her. The two fathers (Demipho autl Chrentes), vexed at this marriage, and not fully understanding 1., endeavour to !procure its annulment. Meanwhile it happens 'hit. Phzdria becomes enamoured of a musical girl, and offers to bey her of her owner at the price of thirty talents. In order to r..iss this money his slave Geta applies to the old men, and tells thou that Phormio, for a dowry of thirty talents, will marry the girl whom Antipho wishes to take to wife. Demipho, in order to break the connection between his son Antipho and this unknown girl, ad. vances the money to Phormio, who hands it over to Phadria, an I the latter pays it over to the owner of the musical girl. t ltrerne; subsequently discovers that his daughter Phanius is married to his nephew, and therefore endeavours to compel Phori )) i)) to give my the money; but the latter gives information of Chremes' bamniast connection to Nausistrata, who raises a storm about it in the family, and will not be appeased till Chimes agrees to grant his son the thirty talents, and to pardon his attachment to the musical girl. The Dramatis Persona. were sustained by the follow ing Gentlemen: Dario - PAC Geta - DUNLOP. Autipho - Biscoa. Cratinus Crito Done Chremes MA lISH. A USTIM PIGOIT.. ROSIN NO:I. PhRCI ria - GOODENOUGH. Demipho - Jeep -Revs. Phormio Sophroni - BLACICALL Hegio - MACDONALD. NAASiStrata HEATH. It is scarcely necessary to add that the parts were sustained, generally speaking, with ability. The ap proptiate action, tone, look, ,and gesture of every pas sage in these Plays have become almost traditional at Westminster ; but )et there are boys who evince a peculiar aptitude for the parts allotted to them. Such was the case with Mr. DUNLOP, who, in the character of Geta, displayed all the shrewdness of the Roman house hold slave, whose dramatic parallel is to be found in the intriguing footman of the English Comedy of about half a century ago. In the fifth act his relation of the manner in which he became acquainted with the secret of Chremes was acted with great spirit. " hoc übi ego audivi, ad fores, Suspense gradu, plaeide ire perrexi ; accessi ; adsthi : Animam compressi : aurem adtuovi," &c. Here the action was admirably suited to the word, and the applause of the audience testified, at almost every sentence, the skill of the young actor. Pholmio too (Mr. PIIILLIMORE) supported his part with much ability; as did Chremes (Mr. Roan:sox), especially in the scene where the former declares his knowledge of the double marriage. Pb. Lemni habuit aliam. Chr, Ph. Aid Pus sun ! Exqua MUM Suscepit, et earn clam educit. Sepultus sum The confident boidness of. the parasite, and the terror of the old man for the consequences of the discovery, were exhibited with an effect truly dramatic. It is sufficient to notice these as prominent and striking passages: as a whole, the performance VI di highly creditable to the School, and in no degree de tracted from the reputation established by so many an nual performances. The Lines entitled " What is Player ?" said to have been transmitted to the late Mr. Faittalcroy by an unknown hand, sacra written by Mr. bloarnanser, and are published in the cu . ,. leetion of his Poems. It is a fact, we believe, not much known, that the eel, though it lives in an element that seems to place it beyond the reach of atmospheric Oranges, is yet sin gularly affected by high winds. This is well known to the inhabitants of Linlithgow, who have an excellent opportunity of observing the habits of that animal in the loch adjoining the town. The stream which flows out of that loch at the west end passes through a sluice, and falls into an artificial stone reservoir, from which it escapes by a number of holes in the sides and bottom. These holes are too small to let eels of a common size pass, and hence this reservoir answers the purpose an eel-trap or cruive. The fish, however, are ia7e!y found in it in calm weather; but when strong wi::s blow, especially from the west, these tenants of the wa ters seem to be seized with a general panic, and hurry from their lodgings like rots from a conflagration. A:: these times they rush through the outlet in crowds, am. fall pell-mell into the reservoir, from which they are speedily transfer red to the frying-pans of the bin gesses. Dui ing the high winds within the last fortaightia ca: t load was taken out of the reservoir every daq, and Ili one day no less than two cart-loads ! Mr. De Camp, Manager of the Sheffield Theatre, and Mr. Mudie, principal performer, were lately broul;!,r before the Alagistrates, on a charge of using threatenin language, and for attempting to horsewhip Mr.ltichar.l Howlden, of that town, bookseller, for having published ceitain offensive remarks in a pamphlet, entitled the heairical Examiner.
