• ..d.r7-61, ~t- ~'' .:" 1 SPANI.SII ARMY IN PERU. The following is a Proclamation issued by General La Senor, on receiving intelligence from Spain of Fer dinAnd:s restoration : 1110CLAMATION. DOE lOU DI LA VERNA, LIENTENANT•OZNERAL OT THE ARMIES, VICEROY OF PERU, &C. . " The sacrifices of every kind which are making, and have been madc-by the Generals, Chiefs, Officers, troops, and other nicr 'tot ious r eisans, for the defence and maintenance of r hi; Majesty's rights, are notorious in these coun;rie , . No less notorious is the circumspec tints with which I have proceeded in executing the laws of the Constitutional system, since, in conformity with my Proclamation of the llth of April, 1822, many of those laws remain unfulfilled. I doubt whether those who now most boast of being anti-Constitutional, would in my place have ventured on such marked violations and modifications, when the Constitution was ostensibly protected and recommended by the King himself ; but as I do not make a parade of this, nor of anything else, . 'except of having performed my duty in preserving this terr;toi y to the King and the nation, I pass over in si lence many things, of which others would make a merit; and shall only say that I would, with pleasure, have . announced and ordered the abolition of the Constitu tional system before receiving the. miginal and direct 'orders from his Majesty, had the law; and fundamental practices permit:ed me so to do, and if I had not feared that the accounts which have appeared in the enemy's papers, and Spanish Papers, reprinted in countries oc cupied by the enemy, were fabricated. " The delay in receiving the King's orders obliged me to issue a proclamation to the Peruvians on the sth of February, and to address to them on the sth of the present month the two questions which appear in my circular, published in the Gazette, No. 45. But as Major- General Don Geronimo Valdes, commanding the army of the South, in consequence of my powers and instruc tions, thought it absolutely necessary to abolish the Constitutional system in the provinces south of the Desaguadero, on account of the premature and illegal proceeding of the insubordinate and disorderly General Olaneta, who had of his own authority abolished the Constitution in Chat cas and Potosi, it would not have been consistent with my duty to tolerate the monstrous inconsistency of countries under the same Supreme Go vernment being administered by opposing systems; and it being imperiously necessary to remove every em 't rrassment opposed to the preservation of order, the s rity of Peru, and the conquest of the last re tnal is of the enemy, I have thought fit to declare and decree as follows: " 1. Conformably to A: tide Ist of the Royal Decree, purporting to be dated in Puerto de Santa Maria, Oc tober 1, 1823, and transmitted to me by General Ola neta in a printed paper without date, place, or imprint, the authenticity of which is therefore uncertain; are null and of no value all the acts of the Government called Constitutional (of whatever class or kind those acts may be), which has governed the Spanish people from the 7th of March until this day, because, during the whole of that perio4 the King our Lord being de prived of his liberty, vas obliged to sanction laws and authorise orders, decrees, and regulations, 'which were contrary to his will, prepared and expedited by the said Constitutional Government. • [2. This and other Articles to Article 9, farther quotes the De cree of Puerto de Santa Maria; after which rejoicings are ordered, the troops are required to take a new oath of fidelity to Ferdinand, the Constitutional stone to be removed from the places in which it is erected, &c.] 41 9. Though, in consequence of this proceeding, the first question which I proposed on the sth instant ap pears to be determined, nevertheless an opinion shall be given upon it conformably to what the laws prescribe, In order that the same may be in all times manifest.— On this question, and on the second, the report required ' in my before-mentioned circular is expected with all possible expedition. i " 10. Should the Sovereign be displeased with these measures on account of their being premature, and de structive of what is ordered and usually practised even in inferior and detached objects and matters of infinitely less weight and importance than the change of the sys tem of the Monarchy, it is to be hoped that his Majesty will direct all his indignation against Gen. Olaneta, who, by depriving me of the pleasure and glory of proclaim ing the triumph of the sacred and primitive tight of the crown in the time and form prescribed, has rendered necessary the illegal and prejudicial anticipation of this act, for the important purpose of maintaining the unity and good order of the provinces intrusted to my direc tion and care. • 11. Under these circumstances, I flatter myself that the inhabitants of Pew will give me a renewed proof of their exemplary subordination, by paying a blind obedience to the present Proclamation, in which there is no necessity to insert any penalty for causing it to be respected, as I do not apprehend that it will be contra ♦ened by a single individual. • A competent number of copies of this Procla mation must be printed, and circulated by the plinci pal authorities; the same is required to be made public here, and in all other places, with the greatest possible pbmp and solemnity.

Letters were received yesterday from Bogota, dated the 29th of June, which state that Colonel CAMPBELL, the junior Briti-.11 Commissioner, was to proceed in a feW days for England, for the purpose of making his report to the Government, on the state of the Colom bian Republic. .The name of the wretch whom the Ipsariots put to death on the 12th of July, was Bongliago.

It is said that the Greek Deputies in London have received official dispatches, which confirm the defeat of the Capitan Pach a, and the re capture of Ipsara. This forenoon we received Brussels and Dutch Pa pers to the Bth instant, and Hamburgh Papers to the sd. They state that there is an alarming• stagnation in the trade of Germany, and that new measures are taking for suppressing secret associations. The following are extracts: FRANKFORT, SEPTEMBER 3. For some years past, a Committee, has existed, con sisting of Commissioners named by the differeht Ger man States of the second and third order, to consider of means to encourage the ttade of Germany. They have not published the result of their deliberations, but it appears that the object of their commission has been taken into consideration by the Ministers at Johannis. berg, some time ago. The preservation of public tran quillity much depends on the revival of commerce in the German States, where, it is feared, that extreme distress causes general discontent, especially in Southern Germany. - This state of things, it is apprehended, mat lead 'to great inconveniences, both in amoral and local point of view. The Great Powers seem to have at length taken this affair into their consideration. The apprehension that they may be adverse to the meeting of the Commissioners, has ceased. It is therefore hoped, that they will shortly assemble again, and that measures will be adopted to put an end to the distress which arises from the alarming stagnation of commerce. The Diet concluded its last Session by a decision which greatly interests this city. Under the Govern ment of the Prince Primate, the Jews had obtained various advantages, which were afterwards contested when Frankfort became again a free city. The Con gress of Vienna had charged the Diet to regulate the civil relations of the Jews. The Diet delayed coming to any decision, in hopes that the parties would in the end make an amicable arrangement. Negotiations were in fact entered into on the subject, and the Senate had made considerable concessions to the Jews, but the latter were not satisfied with them, and vehemently in sisted on having the rights of citizenship, which would give them that of participating in the Assemblies, and of becoming members of the Legislature, where their numbers would soon have prevailed. The Diet has decided by a majority of votes that the concessions made by the Senate were sufficient, and ►hat they mau l be contented with them. The Bishop of Basle, in consequence of the prohibi tion of the King of Prussia to his subjects to study at the University of that city, has exhorted all Vicars. General to take care that in the Theological Faculty no secret associations, with a view to reforms, be tolerated, and to warn those concerned that, in such case, conse cration and ordination shall be for ever refused. It is stated in accounts from Baden, that secret asso ciations have been discovered in the University of Friburg, and that one of the Professors is put under strict confinement. PETERSBURGH, AUGUST its. The Impetial family have been residing, since the 15th, at Kameny Oshoco. Count Nesselrode is to ac. company the Emperor in his tour in the interior of the Empire. The English Ambassador, Sir Chai les Bagot, had his audience of leave on the 19th. Mr. Ward, his succes sor, arrived the same day. Three new towns have been founded in the Province of Orusk, in West Siberia t their names are Koliwan t Lchrim, and Batman!. STOCKHOLM, AUGUST 24. l'i►e two divisions of the Swedish Navy, formerly called the war fleet and the galley fleet, being now united in one, under the name of the Royal Fleet, his Ma• i jesty has ordered that from the lit January, 1894 the l Officers of both shall wear the ohm uniform. BERLIN, AUGUST 31. The Grand Duke Nicholas has arrived here. Certain information has been received at Warsaw, fiorn St. Petersburgh, that the Emperor is not going to the former city, and that the Diet will not meet this year. The Emperor, after his tour to the Southern Provinces, will return to St. Petersburgh, .by way of Orenburg, and all the reports of his intending to go out of the Empire are groundless. Letters have this morning been received from Alva rado, dated the 14th of July, at which time. Mexico was tranquil. The two Generals, QUINTANAR and Bus- TAMENTE, who had been arrested at Guadalaxara, had been sent to Mexico, u here they will be tried fOr at tempting to excite an insurrection against the existing Government. Letters from Carthagena confirm the defection of the Spanish General OLANETA ) who.it is positively stated had joined BoLIVAR. The General Brock, Captain Eats, has arrived at Liverpool from Paraiba, whence she sailed on the 24th of July. She brings advice, from Pernambuco' to the 17th. Tranquillity prevailed in the City; but the republicans were still carrying on therr projects for separating the northern provinces of Brasil from the Empire. CA RYA LHO, the President of Pernambuco, had issued an edict, abolishing the Slave Trade ; and also a proclamation, calling upon the northern provinces to join that of Pernambuco, and to ferns a republic, under the title of " The Confederation of the Bunter." The Buenos Ayres Argos of the 26th of June states, as a reason for LA &RNA resigning his situation of Viceroy of Peru, .that as a Royal Order has been received from Ring Fitanntams, declaring that all acts of the Government of Spain, between the 7th March, 1820, and the month of October, 1823 (the period of the existence of the late Constitutional system) shall be considered null and void ; that his own app ointment of Viceroy, having been made within that period, is also void. A letter (says the Argos of April 30) received at Buenos Ayres from Lima, dated the 19th of April, states that BotivAa has paid the navy In the Pacific up to that date, and that he was at Truxillo with 15,000 men, and General Sucks at Hancho with 8,000. THEIR L4TE 1114IESTIES OF THE S.INDWICH ISL4IINDS. The suite of their late Majesties the King and Queen of the SAPDMICK IsLawns, have, preparatory to their leaving this country, been presented with most costly robes and presents of various de scriptions, by the direction of the Lady of the Right Hon. Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Mr. C*msrwa. Port, in addition, has received a most costly inlaid writing•desk with everything complete. The Interpreter has not been forgotten, and premeds to Woahoo with the suite, who, as we yesterday stated, win salt on Tuesday. The Kg SG. when the s --- 7416ei• proves fine, walks every morning after breakfast for an hour,. in the grounds surrounding the Great Park, Windsor, and afterwards exerting hi his pony , chaise. In consequence of the change in the weather, and the days shortening, the aquatic amusements on Virginia Water are cond. tiered as terminated for the present seised. Prince POLIONAC, the French Ambassador, transacted business yesterday with Mr. CASSINO, at the Foreign Mice. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER came to town yesterday, from Sudbrooke, and returned there in the evening. Lord Viscount HAMPDEN died yesterday mornings His Lordship bad enjoyed his title only a few days, and is succeeded in the entailed estates by GIOIIOE . Earl of Succutatialtsnma. M. ZEA Barium:ma, the Spanish Ambassador at the Court of London, who has been in Paris for a short time past, has set off for Madrid. A Prospectus of a Loan is now handed about the City, in which the names of Messrs. Rovitscatto are used.— We have authority to state, that Messrs. ROTIIICHILD will not receive any sum of money which may be offered to them on account of such Loan, or in any way suffer their names to be used for the promotion of a scheme from which the Public have already suffered too severely. Sir Hunsobr Lows is appointed Governor of Antigua, and is about to proceed to such station forthwith. Lady Lows. it is stated, does not accompany him; she will remain in England to bear good accounts of the climate from the Governor previously to proceeding thither. Lord Chief Justice Aasarr has purchased, from Josssua FA M.P. for Aldborough, the beautiful grounds and mansion, called H endon - place , near Hampstead, and is to tate possession o f at Michaeltnu. A Dublin Paper says, " It is understood that Mr. C.Ainuils will arrive in this city in a few days, on a visit to his Es ceUency the Marquis Wettest's' ; and it is also said, that the Right Hon. Secretary for Foreign Affairs means to honour the new Lord Mayor, by attending his grand dinner. The attendance of Mr. Caaninso will be a novelty of high and peculiar importanie." Mr. CANNING has taken the grand new house which forms the end house, and faces the Thames, of the magnificent rm• of noble mansions recently built on the scite of old Richmond House, at the end of Parliament-street, and nearly opposite to Downing-Greet. There will be a fine terrace fronting Mr. Cuit xmo's town residence down to the bank of the Thames. Of all the distinguished improvements about the metropolis, none has pro ceeded on a more splendid and solid scale than Richmond Terrace. St. James's Park has been greatly improved. The Duke of Yoax's garden presents a beautiful object, as it is now open to public view ; and that part leading into the Green Park, from St. James's Park, which was formerly impassable in bad weather, has now become a favourite promenade. The Mall, and the other walks, which were in a very bad condition, are under. going a thoroug h repair. The late Lord PENGIROICE,fpther of the present Eat), was the early patron of Pamir Avner, of Ampiitheatre memory. His Lordship was also warmly attached to Guassec. His Lord ship was very fond of severe manly esercise. With Asetar his Lordship amused himself in his manage before breakfast, and Gam awe and the Noble Earl had many a well-contested game at tennis after breakfast, both at Whitehall and at Wihon House. . _ The King pf PaussiA, whO always takes a marked interest lit the cause of religion, has writteb a letter to Wist.tass Ras WILSON, Esq. author of Travels In the Holy Land,' expres sive of bib high satisfaction with that work, and the coincidence he has shewn to exist at this day between the manners and customs of that interesting country, and the description of it, with the narra tive in the Scriptures, and in further corroboration of their sub lime veracity. The Prince and Princess of °RANGY will set out in the middle of next week for St. Petersburgh. It is said that the Prince will return to spend a part of the winter at Bsussels, and will leave his august consort in Russia. It is thought the Princess will be eight months absent.

Dust..—A meeting took place on Monday, on Sandy mount Strand, near Dublio,between a Mr. B—sta and a Mr. It —u, io which the latter was badly wounded in the hip, though not danger. ously. The cause of quarrel lies in impenetrable obscurity, except to the parties themselves—but it is thought to be of lung standing.

BOIr-STirEET-THIS D. 4 Y. IMPORTAST TO STABLE-KEEPERS. Mr. Mayhew, proptitior of the King's Head-yard, Great Ilusso. street, appealed against the bilietting on him one of the privates f the uards. The parish-officers stated, that for the two put ytars soldiers. had • been billeted on the yard, which had the wor4 "'Livery Stables" written ever the gateway, and that horses and carts, which came. to Covent-garden with fruit and vegetabl es , woe placed there fol.' the time being. Mr. Mayhew stated, that the market-carts were metely put there for-she nighi.- •Islo houses,ivere let out, nor were any spirit' tr .Li ernori Wein the yard ; in fact, one part of it was let out as a school, another as a wheelwright's, and the remainder in tenemer. ts to families., Mr. HALLS was of opinion that this did not came within !Le meaning of the .Ict, and therefore ordered the officers to find oat: quarters for their soldiers. • Accounts:from Prussia state, that the crops, patti. cularly those of rte, are most bountiful. Duar..—Yeiter;lay morning a meeting took place at Chalk Farm, between a Mr. J. V---, late of the 14th Ftoy.l Lancer., and a Mr. of the Royal Navy ; the former sv,r attended by Mr. S-- the latter by an Trish Gentleman. Af• ter the first fire, an effort was made to bring about a reconciliation, which was strenuously opposed by Mr. V. and the Gentlemen bein: once more supplied wita pistols, the seconds were proceeding t; give the signal to fire,, when a report of the approach of the Polio suspended hostilities • the entire party precipitately took to the; carriages and drove n, pledging themselves tb conclude the matte elsewhere. ..The appnirance of the Police was, however, a mistake . Amongst the improvements and alterations carrying on at the Royal Rachange ' is that of the Colonade patement b e i nt entirely relaid with broad Sags of Scotch granite. It is also in con. temptation to remove the stones from the centre of the Quadrangle, and pave it with the same materials. It may be remembered that some time since, a man of the name of Robinson, was detected offering a horse for sale under suspicions circumstances in Smithfield,- and that he leas undergone several examinations before the sitting Alderman at Guildhall; in consequence of which, and by means of advertisements, the horse, a very valuable one, has been owned. It had been stolen from the paddock of Mrs. Downs,of Caney Hatch, the relict oftbe late .11r. Downs, Banker, Battholontew.lane. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Harlow Bush Fair, which is held in Epping Forest, was, as usual, numeroualy and respectably attended by the neigh bouring Nobility and Gentry, exclusive of visitors from town. — Carriages were in waiting at an early hour, in Whitechapet, to con vey the metropolitans to partake of their annual treat of roast pi rk, far which this fair is famous. A variety of games were carried on to take in the unwary, and many fell victinis. A man of s; e ane of Gibls, living at Theobalds, was defrauded of £lO and h:s watch by the stale trick of pricking in the belt. In consequence..of the expected diisolntion of Parlia ment, the candidates for seats in the new Parliament are beyond all precedent. Not only the sons of Nobility, but the landed and commercial interests are equally anxious • o become Members at the approaching Silection,which has occasioned a most extraordinary sensation with persons who have any interest in boroughs Mr. Eley, the silversmith, in Lovell's-court, Paternos ter-row, while viewing the exterior of Richardson's. shew, found himself next to a very genteelly dressed man, with whom he entered into some conversation. The gentleman remarked upon the ex treme pressure of the crowd, and advised him to take care of his pockets; and Mr. Eley on taking the hint, found that somebody had been already sounding, as the flap of his breeches pocket was unbuttoned. He thanked his new acquaintance for his advice, and buttoned it up again all safe. At the next rash of the crowd he felt a hand actually in his *pocket, which he Immediately seized and held there ; and, to ills great surprise, found it to be that of his Well dressed friend, who turned out to be well acquainted with the City Police—the notorious Bill lifoody.—He was committed to hard labour for three months. ACCELERATION or THE MAILS.—The attention of the heads of the Post. Office department has been for some time back directed to this interesting subject. Mr. GOD.. BY; Secretary to the-Post Office, with other official Gen tlemen, arrived at Inverness' on Monday se'nnight, from Aberdeen, where they had previously been making ar rangements, and, having completed their purpose, they returned to Aberdeen: That the arrangements, when officially communicated, will be the best practicable for public convenience, we entertain no doubt ; several bye ' mails are to be established in the commercial oistricts ; and the Edinburgh Mail is to be dispatched about nine hours earlier, so that the ferry may be crossed at all seasons with daylight, and by the steamthcat. This will be a very great convenience also to passengers.— The time lost at Wick will also be redeemed. It is not intended that the alteration shall be carried into effect until February neat. During the reigns of Queen TLIZASETR and JAMES 1. and even down to the time of CHARLES, St. Paul's w. s the rendezvous of all the idle and dissipated persons of the period, as well as of those whom serious business, or a desire to learn the news of the day, led io frequent as a place of public resort. Being. a p!• ce privileged from arrests, it afforded considerable coi.ve n:enee to the first of these descriptions. One wilt le scene of BEN JONSON'S Every Man out of his Humour, is laid among the loiterers in the western and middie aisle of St. Paul's, which Sir Fastidious Brisk affectedly terms Mediterraneo. It cannot be forgotten that there Fri/stn./picked up his trusty follower Bardolph.— Ossounng also informs us, that it was the fashion, from the time of Jamas I. down to that of the Common- Wealth, for the principal Gentry, Lords, Courtiers, and men of all professions, not merely mechanics, to meet in St. Paul's Church, by l I, and walk in the middle aisle till.twelve, and after dinner from three to six, and by attending to the news there daily current, they picked up. .z reasonable -modicum of political information. .• Tim Goose AND Via COCL—A goose is very gener.sPy accounted an exceeding stupid creature, and the proverbial expression, " •tt stupid as a goose," is frequently used to denote the extreme of stu pidity. That every goose is not extremely stupid, however. the following occurrence, which lately took place on a farm at the h of this county; will testify. A haughty dunghill cock took a parti cular antipathy at a fine goose, the guardian of a numerous brood , and, accordingly, wherever and whenever they met, the cock nu tnediately set upon his antagonist. The goose, who had little than with the nimble and sharp heels of his opponent, and who had . c cordingly suffered severely in various rencontres, got so clasper red against his assailant, that one day,duriug a severe combat, be grasp. .1 the neck ei" his foe with bis bill, and, dragging him alma by nisot force, he plunged him into an adjoining pond, keeping his bead, ni spite of every effbrt, under water, and where the cock would h ave been drowned, had not a sertant,who had witnessed the rneeedin rescued the humbled foe. From that day forward the goose ( 0. ceived no mailer trouble lioni his enemy.—(4mgon, Con err.
