" GOD preserve, &c. A. J. DE SUCRE." The news received of the siege of Callao, in Bogota, was to the 8:h of July. These accounts assert that famine existed in the castle, and that the garrison was supposed to lose on an average ten men per day, by disease, execution, and desertion. On the 7th July, twotboats deserted to the national frigate Protector, with ten men. The Bogo:a Gazette publishes an offer made by Reid, Irvine, and Co. Fairlie, Bonham, and Co. and Captain E. S.

Zea Bermudez, who is appointed Minister at the Court of Dresden, with a salary of 3,000 piasters. owes his removal from Madrid to some foreign Ministers. Accordingly, in the order which communicates his nomination to him, he is expressly told, that he is to set out as soon as possible, for such is his Majesty's pleasure. He succeeds M. Ba,secourt, who remains attached to the Camarilla of the Infant D Carlos, one of whose favourites he has always been. His Majesty returned to the capital the day before yesterday. The glasses of his carriage were up. In the evening, all the chief officers of the Royal Guard waited on his Majesty, and requested him to honour the Guard by reviewing it next day. The King consented, and told them he would see the Guard pass under his windows, which he did. —Yesterday, at noon, the Swiss took part in this parade. The Minister Zambian's, commanding the cavalry of the Royal Guard, was at the head of the troops. It must be owned that they were perfectly well equipped; but the soldiers were mere youths; they are not sufficiently instructed in their military duties, and have not strength enough to endure the fatigues of even a short campaign. The horses are in bai c•ndition, especially tho.e of the Curiassiets, which can hardly carry their riders. The Officers are no: older than the soldiers. A few days be fore the return of the King, the Intendant of the Police had orders to send away from the capital all Nlonk; and Priests who were there without sufficient reason. This is the same measure that was adopted last year towards Officers on half-pay. According to the information that has been received by the Minister of Marine, the English Company has already discovered at the bottom of the sea, in the port of Vigo, five galleons, which were sunk there one hun dred and twenty years agn. In sounding, a large body WAS found, which is supposed to be a six:h ;, but a sudden storm arising, it was aeces - iary to put off the examination till calm weather. .[PRIOE SEVEN PENCE. The Ist Regiment of Cavalry of the Line, which had been stationed for some months at Parmanche'es, have just received orders to proceed to C )rdova. We have just learnt that the convent of the Escurial is all in flames. Fire•engines have been seat with all haste hem this city, with the necessary assistance, and two archi tects to direct the workmen. It is affirmed that the fire commenced in the kitchen of the convent. SIEGE OF CALLAO. Advice: have been receive] from Lima to the begin ning of August. The following extract from a private letter contains the &Hest account of the siege of the Castles of Callao which has been received. in England t and, as it also gives a description of the situation and defences of the fortress, will be read with interest v... 44 Callao irsituated on a neck of low land that projects into the sea, and contained before the war about four thousand inhabitants. The fortifications consist of three castles, mounting together one hunired and ninety pieces of heavy ordnance, and command the town, the harbour, and the whole neck of land across which they are situated. They ate built of heavy stone work, in clining inwards from the base, and surrounded by deep wide moats, with heavy draw-bridges across, in the ancient style. The walls are so strong that no artillery can penetrate them ; their inclination inwards froth the base causes the balls which strike them horizontally ter glance ever; besides, they are protected by trenches thrown up on the outside, nearly to the muzzles of the guns, and which also answer as a breastwork for troops outs de. Siz months ago, when the Patriots a second time got possession of Lima, it was expected that Rodil would have immediately capitulated and surrendered Callao.; instead of which, he drove the old men, wo men, and children, from the town, laid up stores of provisions for his troops, and defied his antagonists. His force at that time was 1500 men, but the number is reduced by death and desertion to about 800. They are blockaded by a squadron of five Gr siz vessels, and besieged on land by a Patriot force of four thousand men. The castles contain immense stores of amain nition, and considerable wealth. Rodil is a deter mined man in desperate circumstances. He may be reduced by disease and desertion, but will never voluntarily surrender. His boats fish in safety under the guns of the castles, and he has land enough within their protection to raise vegetablei for his troops. The besieging army occupies a 'small town called Bella vista, on the road to Lima, about three qi9rters of a mile from the castles: This town is nearly destroyed by the guns of the castles ; there is scarcely.a house re. 'Paining habitable, and the soldiers ase principally shel tered in tents behind the remaining walls. There has teen daily fighting for the last three months, and fre quent skirmishing betiveen the troops. The firing from the castles is at times tremendous. They certainly re turn the Patriots ten shots for one. I visited the Pa. Aria' camp a few days ago, and, leaving my horse at Bellavista, proceeded on loot along the trenches, which project in sho: t angles from tl,e town, about half a mile .towat ds the castles, and within a law hundred yards of the m. These trenches are dug about three flee deep, 'and the loose eat th thrown up on the side towards the castles, and staked; so that the trench and breast work together are about as high as the head, and behind them 1 felt tolerably safe from the balls which whistled over me. Whilst looking over the entrenchment at the lower end, towards the castles, I saw one of the fishing boats full of men,pulling towards the blockading vessels. They were deserting from the castles, which instantly opened a most tremendous fire upon the 'boat: The shot dashed the water about her without appearing to do her any serious damage. I took this opportunity, whilst they were engaged on the sea side, to go be yond the entrenchment, and view the castles. They did not appear to have received the least impression from the heavy firing that had been made on them by the besiegers. They hied a very military appearance; the Royal Standard was flying; the sentinels were marching on the battlements ; and everything ap peared to be in perfect order. Ido not think they can be taken by assault; the moat is too wide to be passed wi:hout much labs ur ; t' e 14ud is so low, they cannot be undermined, and they have been bombarded with- • out any perceptible efUct. The besieged have made every preparation for defence. I was told by Officers in the Patriot camp, that the walls were covered with bomb-shells, ready to be fired and rolled on any as saulting party. I hid not much time to make obser vations; the boat escaped, and the firing against the entrenchments recommenced, and even within them it Was rather warm qua. ters for a disinterested spectator. On returning to Bellavista, I observed several Officers collected to see the boat escape, and found among them the chief Engineer, who is a Frenchman, and speaks a little English. ' ' It appears that Rodil is most apprehensive of dis. affection among his troops. He, however, has one Regiment that he enlisted at Arequipa. in which he places great confidence. He preserves a most rigid discipline ; no three persons are allowed to convene • together privately ; and any sign of discontent is punished with instant death. At one time a Colonel spoke to him of their situation, told him the troops were loyal, and determined to die under his command, in defence of the Castles, but they were desirous to know what prospects he bad of success? Rodil immediately had the troops paraded, informed them that Iris affairs were desperate, and he did not wish any to re. main with him who were discontented; but desired them to use that time to signify their sentiments, and ordered those who were dissatisfied to ground their arms, and advance in front. Accordingly, abaft forty men, including the Colonel and some Officers, marched out of the line, when he immediately ordered the line to fire on them, and they were all executed. It was an awful stratagem to dscover and rid himself of the dis affected, and to awe the garrison into future silence. A few such men as Rodil, would ruin the Patriot cause in this country, and be worth the Indies to Ferdinand. • It has been remarked by meteorologists, that when much r•+in falls at the commencement of winter, it is <chit= there is a great de.il of snow in the tam- seem).
