to justify Ale assertion ko often Made, * that Spain cannot maintain any dominion in America ; because either each, State must free itself by its own efforts, or that which does not do this must mailer or. later receive the impulse f r om all the rest. Peru seems not to have been able to acquire of itself an %dependent existence—nay, rather to have employed measures to hinder it: meantime the Royalists, taking advantage of these circumstancbs, concentrating their whole force, acting without any ex ternal dependence, and constantly maintaining their t roops, by allowing them to prey on the people, have made and still make an obstinate resistance, and with more effect than in any other part of America.— It is such as even to have deceived Spain itself into a belief, that preserving a force in Peru would suffice to recover its universal dominion ; but it is to be ob served, that all the States are now united against that , force. Mexico sends not only troops to so great a dis tance, but ships of war. Colombia sends succour of all kinds, and charges itself with the principal part in completing the emancipation. # 4 Chili arms its vessel s,-appl y ing to this purpose a part of its resources ; and at the same time, the sending of a Minister to Peru is announced, to form a more direct co-operation in the work of concluding the war of in dependence, and securing the liberty of all the States ;, and it is to be observed, that to act in this uniform and simultaneous manner, there has been no need of pre• existing treaties nor Congresses, but merely an exercise of the sentiment prevailing in all the American States, of the necessity of wholly detracting themselves fr om Spain." JULY 24.—There has been an insurrection at Mendoza on the 28th June. The troops having, with cries of " Liberty for ever!" demanded the deposition of the Governor, D. Jose Alvino Gutierrez, who, as soon as he learned what was passing, appeared on horseback before the troops, but fled on hearing cries of " Death to the Tyrant." He was pursued and overtaken, after being mounded in the arm by a musket, but was afterwards treated v ith becoming respect. The Government was afterwards offered to Colonel Juan Lav#lle, who re fused; but on being farther urged accepted it. Every tb ng had since been quiet. Yesterday afternoon his Royal Highness the Duke of Teat held a Levee at his Office, Horse Guards. which was at- tended by between thirty and forty Military Officets. The Duke of Al EININGEN left town yesterday, about two o'clock, on his return to Bushey. The Earl of CLARENDON, we are happy to hear, is considerably recovered from his late indisposition. The Duke of GLOUCESTER is expected to visit Croome, the seat of the Eatl of Covrxray, on the 13th of next month. - The King of BAVARIA was to set out yesterday for Vienna, and the Queen, with the Princesses, this day. The mar- _ . riage is expected• to take place on the 27th. Lady Moan's Goan has returned to her tesidence in town (Chester-street), after a short •isit to Rottingdean, where her two grandsons are. The Earl and Countess Cow Pin left town yesterday for their seat, Pansanger, The Eerl and Countess of BRISTOL and family have left Tunbridge Wells, for their scat, Ickworth Park, Suffolk.

The Board of Admiralty have directed that a ship of the first rate be built at Chatham,and to be named the WATZIII.OO. The KING has approved of Mr. DAVID WALKER as Consul at Glasgow, for the United States of America. Paddy Blake's echo has been heard in the •icinity of Nelson's Crescent, Ramsgate : " How do you do r a Pretty weU, I thank you!" It war an unfortunate echo, for it was beard by an old goatumeange, and the lover has lost his mistress! She disappeared at four a. se. the following day. The whole town of Wetherby, in Yorkshire, has been sold by Messrs. DRITIRS, London auctioneers. The town belonged t Grace the Duke of Devonsersa. It is bow, however, divided among a number of proprietors. Sir JOHN MACDONALD, K.C.B. a Lieutenant-General in the Honourable Company's service, died in Calcutta on Saturday June 18, aged 76. His remains were attended to the grave by his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, all the General Staff, and a large body of civilians, who assembled to pay the last tribute of regret to one of the oldest Officers inthe Honourabk Company's aesvice in India. _ _ The late Duke of GLOUCESTER expended a consider , able sum of money in adorning and beautifying the house and gar dens at Gloucester Lodge, now inhabited by Mr. Secretary Comma. The Duke generally resided there for some years before his death ; lir. Secretary Custom has, however, much improved the house, and made many vAluable additions to the hot-houses and gardens. There are few mansions so near town possessing so many advantages. The late Major CARTWRIGHT'S will was dated the 9th of June, 1821. He bequeathed the whole of his property (enumerating as a part of it his half-pay as an Officer of the Navy, and an annuity from die Duke of SOMERSET) to his wife, whom, with his niece, FRANCES DOROTHY CARTWRIGHT, spinster, he appointed his exe cutrix; and in case of his wife's previous demise, sub stituted the latter as his sole legatee. They both sur vived him, but his niece only took probate of his will, power having been reserved to the other executrix. The effects were sworn under 8001. The grant passed the Prerogative seal on the 7th instants Mr. Menwtu's Journal of the Conversations of Lord BY ROW has been purchased, at a high price, by Mr. Comma, and will appear in a few days. It details, we understand, the principal occurrences of his private life, his opinions on society, manners, literature, literary men, lice. Whilst the Public must be highly gratified with such a publication, which cannot fail to excite a very extraordinary sensation, we fear it will cause much animosity to wards the Editor. There are Authors who Will not be pleased to bear bis Lordship's real opinion of themselves, or of their Works.

Everybody knows that rowing is a favourite amusement at Oxford; and that the different boats, some with eight oars, some with six, some with four, are called by the names of the Col leges to which they respectively belong ; as, 1 he Christ Church, The Brazennose, The Magdalen, &c. Towards the close of last Term, a young student, undergoing a publiF examination in Divinity, manifested the grosse,t Ignorance on the subject. At length, the Examinant, a good-natured man, and a friend of the student's, and of course anxious to save him from the disgrace of being plucked, resolved to put a question in the answer to which no blunder could possibly be made. The gues s ion was, How many persons we there in the Trinity?" To this the student, without the slightest hesitation or difficulty, replied, 4 , Four, and a steerer."

LISBO.V. LETTER FROM A CORRESPONDENT. •' 1.1%50x, Sarraxszi 26. 14 We have no particular disease pi ev.dent ; slight attacks of cholera, if it may be so called, are frequent, but they yield to very simple treatment. At present everything is very quiet, and I thick likely to remain so. There are many objects wuithy of attention here, al though the town, 1 believe, is the dirtiest one in Chi is tendom. These is an extensive public Hospital, which is said to contain 1,500 patients. Some of the Churches are fine, but all have such a modern appearance, that. one does not feel that veneration and respect which our ancient Gothic piles inspire. Thefe is a Royal Museum, which is small, but uncommonly v ell arranged. They have a few specimens of morbid anatomy, and several monstrosities, both human and of the lower animals. It is under the direction of the Professor of Natural His tory, and open every Thursday to the public." MR. SHARP, THE ENGRAVER. The following particulars respecting the late Mr. SHARP, the best engraver of this or perhaps any age, are extracted from the Examiner. "We knew the deceased. He used, some years ago, to favour us with an occasional visit ; but. failing to convert As to the true faith of Johanna, and finding that we joked, or attempted to joke, respecting the Lady's prophetic powers and miracidowi conceptions, he withdrew from us the light of his broad, shining, and credulous countenance. Of a truth he certainly was the most voracious believer we ever met with. lie believed in Emanuel . Swedenborg, he believed in Richard Brothers, he believed in Johanna South cote. Neither type, nor figure, nor allegory, nor parable, ever pre•. sensed a stumbling-block in his way; nothing moved, nothing dis concerted him. His was, indeed, the faith to remove mountains: Ile witnessed the failure of the prophet Brothers' mission, without being shaken in his credulity ; and, in the case of Johanna South. cote, not even the evidence of all his senses prevailed in convincing him of the error of his creed. " Though that deceived and deceiving Virgin lay dead before him and the others of the Twelve--thougli her asserted miraculous protuberance had resolved itself into a common dropsical swelliag— though her watching disciples, fearing contagion from the net evert, sweet body of their immaculate Lady, had each fortified himself with a pipe, and were busily engaged to the last moment before the burial in purifying the air with the fumes from the' best Virg* nia'--netwithstanding aU these significant signs sod wondere— William Sharp was More and more convinced that the promked Shiloh would appear in triumph, when all gainsayers and scoffers would hide their abashed and diminibbed heads! Even after the degrading and mortifying end of the prophetess, so blind and ob- ' stinate is fanaticism, that Mr. Sharp, on meeting the writer of this little notice in the study of an historical painter, gravely took him aside, and told him, as a piece of good news, that a certain Lady bad actually given birth to a son (the Shiloh of course), who was then in the keeping of an angel, sad who would certainly appear on earth in three years." By letters received from Madrid, it appears that on the Ist instant, a party of Constitutional Guerillas en tered the town of Tarracon, about 12 leagues from that city, and put to death the Alcalde, three others of the civic authorities, and eleven of the townspeople. This daring act was in revenge for the punishment of two of their comrades, who bad been put to death at Madrid for being concerned in a movement in favour of the Constitution. The Guerillas were enabled to effect their retreat from Tarracon without molestation. Letters from Gibraltar, dated September 24, state, that the very fine American ship Nancy, Captain Slum, took fire on Sunday afternoon, the 19th, and was to tally burnt, as also the cargo, consisting of 5,800 bar rels of flour, and a great many linen goods ; the cargo was valued at 50,000 dollars, or 10,0001. sterling. She was to have gone on to Marseilles, and from that place to Chili. There was a very great stock of American. flour in stores, from several arrivals lately ; business is genetally very dull. The Commissioners of the Sinking Fund yesterday purchased stock to the amount of 26,0001. being about 8,0001. more than the daily sum appropriated during the last quarter to that purpose. It is understood that the amount applicable to the Sinking Fund for the ex isting quarter will not be less than 1,250,0001.—a sum which, in addition to that accruing from the Savings' Banks for investment, must absorb a considerable por tion of the floating stock in the market. A Mr. Jenkinson, who, it is said, resided at Heston, near Hpunslow, going along Wych-street, Drury-lane, yesterday, accompanied by a friend, the off-wheel of his gig got in contact with a co - al-waggon, and the gig was dashed in pieces. Mr. Jenkinson had his leg broken, and was taken in a coach for surgical aid. Thursday last, a young Gentleman, whilst amusing himself with fishing at the Jettyrhead, Margate, found a silver watch attached to the hook of by the rihand. It had evidently lain some time in the water, as the silver was partially corroded, and the works on being touched fell to pieces. It is singular that the hands of the watch pointed to the exact time at which it was drawn up. This watch, most probably, belonged to some unfortunate seaman who met a watery grave. A Counsel being questioned by a JOdge, to know for whom he was concerned? replied as follows :—" I am concerned, my. Lord, for the);t t tiff, but I am em ployed by the defendant." • THE ARMY. • The three Veteran Companies, which save been recently nisei* embarked at.Chatham on the lithinst.'for Newfoundland. • MILITARY PROMOTIONS.

JAI; Franklin was before the Coast in August laq, when he was opposed by Mr. HEATH, at the instance of Mr. Shanley, a wine-merchant, and Messrs. Combe, De'afield, and Co. The investigation lasted for a length of time, and the result was, that it was clearly proved that the insolient had obtained a large quantity of wine from Mt. Shanley, by means of fraudulently colluding with the cotiiplainant's servant. Messrs. Combe and Co. failed to Make out a case which brought the insol vent within tht operation of the penal clauses of the Act. On the insolvent coming up to-day, for judg ment, Mr. HIATII informed the Court, that he should not press it, as since the insolvent was last up, he had made such . disclusures as would enable Mr. Shanley to proceed against hi, servant, who appeared to be more blam.ahle than the insolvent. Mr. Comraissioner Ilinnts said, that the - judment had been settled, and must be delivered notwithstand- ing any arrangement which might have been made out of Court. It was a case of great fraud, and the Learned Commissioners who were in Court at the hearing,'concurred in the propriety of the judgment he was about to pass; but it. would only be 'a remand at the suit of Mr. Sltanley, who might hereafter exercise his discretion. The judgment of the Court was, that the insolvent be confined within the walls of a prison fifteen calendar months from the date of his petition, for fraudulently contracting a debt. Richard Roberts, who had been previously examined, came up for judgment. It appeared by the statement of John Redman, the opposing creditor, that the wit ness had been in the employ of the insolvent, who in 'sicced witness to take SOI. out of the Saving Bank, and lodge it in his hands, as it would be equally safe and greatly accommodate him (insolvent). Witness having removed the money, the insolvent treated him wish un kindness and inattention, and shortly after failed. The witness said this sum was the savings of his life, and all he had in the world ; his case was, therefore, a case of• great hardship, and his only object was to assist, tp* insolvent. The Count. said, the conduct of the insolvent towards this poor man was scandalous in the extreme, and sentenced him to six months' confinement within the walls of a. prison. Robert Medland, Master in the Royal Navy, was op. posed by Mr. HEATH and Mr. COMM for upwards of forty creditors living in Teignmouth and Portsea, whose debts the insolvent had severally stated in his' schedule RS being between 4/. and 41. 19s. and for some creditors whose names he had entirely omitted. The insolvent was examined respecting the sum due to each of the creditors he had stated in his schedule Under 51. and to whom the Act does not require an in , solvent to give any other notice than that contained in the Gazelle. To all these inquiries he had one general ' answer—" Between four and five pound:, I can't re member particulars." The constant recurrence of the same answer, in such a great number of cases, strongly excited the risibility of the auditory. Tfie insolvent was examined respecting a debt due to a person of the name of Watts, not mentioned in the' schedule, and repeatedly denied owing him anything, or that anything had ever been demanded by him or any one for him; or that he (the insolvent) had ever written anything on the subject of such debt. His name was here shown him written to a paper doubled in a manner to prevent his reading any more, when he positively and repeatedly denied it was his hand-writing. Being warned by the Learned Counsel and the Court, of the danger of a prosecution for perjury if he denied his band-writing, he compared the signature shewn him with his signature to his schedule, and then said he thought it was his hand-writing. The COURT interrupted the examination, saying it would be mercy to the insolvent himself to -send him back to amend his schedule. He thought by giving a false description of himself in the Gazette, calling him. self a master mariner, and saying nothing of his trading character, and giving no notice to his creditors in the country, that he might be discharged without their knowledge; but the Court would . guard against that, by directing that he should give notice to every one of his creditors, to the amount of their debt, be it ever so small. The case was then adjourned generally, to amend the schedule, and give notice to all the creditors. Sir WALTER. SCOTT lately preside.] at a Meeting at Edinburgh, for the establishment of a new Academy. Speaking of the disinterestedness of the ♦iews of the founders of Sell( ols, Sir Wave= compared them to a torch in the hand of a dead man, which imparts light to others, whilst it affords none to thebearer. Yesterday afternoon, about fowr o'clock, the neigh bourhood of . Aldersgate-street was thrown into great alarm, in consequence of the escape of a horse from the stables of a Mr. Beeson, veterinary-surgeon, Black horse-yard. The animal was under his care, for the cure of a disorder called the staggers, which is an affection of the brain, and generally terminates in mad ness. He broke out of the stable, by kicking the wall down. His first object was the carriage of Dr. SPRY, then standing in the yard, from which he actually tore a piece from the panne' of the door. He next made an attack oa a block of stone, and in a state of the most violent irritation, rushed into the street, and broke the shop fiont of the linen-draper's, at the corner of Long lane, by which one of his eyes was knocked out. Pio ceeding along Barbican, he came in contact with a horse in a gig, and lacerated him in a dreadful manner. The pain caused the animal to kick and plunge till the gig was overturned, and the driver narrowly escaped with life. Pursuing his course along the same street, he demolished the shop-front of a tobacconist, and near it that also of a linen-draper. At th4s spot, a Gentleman rushed upon the animal, and thrust a sword ilia) his body, which terminated his sufferings. The damage .done is very considerable. MARGATE. OCTOBER H. - Mr. Crofts, the landlord of the King's Head Inn, who was robbed last week of 1,800 sovereigns, is re. turned from France ) the person whom he suspected and went in chace of, proving not to be the depredator. Margate has fallen with the fall of the leaf. Many oT the bathing machines are laid up for the winter, most of the magamus de•mode are closed, the Jewish Boule vAs are about to take their flight to Duke's-place, and the depots of smuggled French silks to Spitalfields. The brilliant illuminations of the Libraries are no longer eclipsed by female ,beauty, and the sprightly seigns of Pam and the. Dice are no more. An etipement took place from here on Wednesday, which hai plunged a respectable family into extreme disttess. The seducer is a married man, and resideJ iii the vicinity of Thames-street. The young Lady, %%lin is not more than sixteen years of age, came also flora London, and resided with part of her family in Queen street, adjoining Cecil-square. The parties bicame ac quainted last season, when on a visit to Margate, at one of the public break fa , ,ts at St. Peter's, where they danced together. On their arrival here this season, the young Lady was unfortuna•ely permitted to take occasional airings with her gallant in a sinikle horse chaise. On Wednesday he again drove her out; but not returning for two or three hours after their usual time, the young Lady's friends became alarmed, and on inquiry at the Royal Hotel, where the Gentleman lodged, found that he had left it, and that his trunk had been removed. On further inquiry, they ascertained that the parties, after having driven home the chaise, had hired a boat, remained on the water till the arrival of the Calais steam•packet, and then embarked for France. The young Lady's father and mother immediately left Mar gate in pursuit of the runaways, but the other part of the family still remain here.

A vast concourse of people of all descriptions, on foot, on horse back, in carts and carriages, assembled on Tue sday last in a field about two miles from Truro, on the Bodmin road, to witness the covet spectacle of a horse race. In a race between Captain Wight man's hr. h. and Captain Gilbert's b. m. l'otteen, Captain Carthew rode Captain Wightman's br. b. and Captain Gilbert Potteen. Tst this race the attention of the field was universally drawn to the ea, y and elegant style of Captain Cartbew's riding, when on turning a sharp corner on a descent near the winning post, his horse stumble d, Captain Carthew was thrown with considerable violence over his head, and so great was the shock, that the unfortunate Gentkin.n was instantly deprived of sense and motion. The most intense anxiety now prevailed. Happily four Medical GentlemEn were present, who premed forward to render their assistance. Captain Carthew was bled, and on recovering a little was conveyed front the ground in a carriage. Wednesday, the race between Prestwich and Bedoe, for 200 sovereigns, 600 yards, over Rnutsford Race Course, was decided in favour of the former. It was an excellent race, run in a very short time, and won by about six yards.—Betting at starting, b to 4on Bedoe. The same afternoon Bedoe offered to run the winner 1 -1 2 dr. 300 yards for 200 sovereigns, over Knutsford Course. STAG HUNT. Thursday, a fine stag, supplied, as usual, by that ttue sportsman, E. Haatll, Esq. of Daiemain, was turned off near to Maiden Hill, amidst a numerous assemblage of people, and a greater number of horsemen than has been witnessed for many rats. lie was since yawned at ten minutes past one o'cliick, and went off in the finest style, and, from the direction he took, affotded the spectators a fine view. He crossed the road leading from Carlisle to Penrith, direct to Newton, thence returning and recrossing the Carlisle road, near Eioscowar, to the Low Mill, near Bazonhy, where he was taken, after a fine chace of nearly five hours; and, considering the length of the chace, and numerous high walls which were presented to the horsemen, very few of them were spilt. THE SIXTRICN Mrita Raca.—The mare performed the first round in seven minutes and forty seconds; the second within a second of the first, and continued to do the miles within four minutes. Half "die distance was accomplished in twenty minutes and forty-nine seconds, and the whole was completed, with only one break', in fifty-nine minutes and ten seconds. THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, OCT. 13. There is not much Corn of any kind fresh up to-day, but a good quantity of Flour. In consequence of the top price of Flvur being advanced to 60$. per sack, more money is asked for Wheat, and this article is certainly rather dearer.
