.E EV: LONDON. STAR . ' TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1 SlB. Vt: • flu ?ila.tasrea COILOPATIPY.—HoUIay at the, Public Oliams. The Paris Papers rf Saturday arrived this forenoon. The Duke of Ricnautu had his audience of leave on Friday, and was to depart fur Aix-la-Chapelle on the evening of the same day. The bulletins issued by the physicians in attendance on the Duchess of Baany, represent the progress of her Royal flightless towards recovery, as natural and regular. The University of Berlin, after the manner of that of Gottingen, and most .of the other German schools of learning, has become of late the scene of much disgraceful party contention, which has led to seve ral fatal duels. A student of theology has been , ba nished to Griefswalde, fbr applying the argumengum baculinum t six of his fellows, who had been making game of him. He was escorted out of Berlin by the great body of the students, with all the honours of a triumph. According to an article in the Augsburg.): Gazotie, it appears that on the recent occasion of the new King of SWEDEN'S visit to his Norwegian dominions -a proposition had been made in the Diet to go in a body and . nieet his Majesty on this frontiers, but that 'it was rejected by 67 voices to 5. It is further stated, .that some propositions had been made to the Diet by the Swedish Goverament, for a change in some ar ticles of the Norwegian Constitution, which were also decidedly rejected by a large majority ; and that two State Counsellors, holding portefeuilles, have narrowly escaped being impeached, one of them only by the casting vote of the President in his fa vour. It would seem from these measures that the People of Norway, however they may be disposed to submit constitutionally to their new Sovereign, are not impressed with very much 'devotion either to his person or government. As a sort of set off, however, to these accounts, we are informed at the same time that Denmark, which should feel most interested in any inclination to defection among the Norwegians, meditates a closer alliance with the reigning Family of Sweden. and that King CHAamis JOHN and the •PRINCE ROYAL are about to take a journey to Copenhagen. .. The Emperor ALEXANDER has ordered a Journal, published in his dominions, by the Counsellor of -State JAZENKO. to be suppressed, for containing, '.among other reprehensible articlei, a defence of per-1 ional servitude, which it. has been the great object of the EMPEROR to abolish. The motive is certainly amiable ; but not sufficient to reconcile us to conduct which• of itself is weak in the extreme. The truth is never more certainly elicited than by the-conflict of opposing opinions; and the EMPEROR could net have paid a worse tribute to the force of the noble prin ciple of human liberty, which he advocates, than to suppose that it could run any danger from the seve • test scrutiny to which it can possibly be subjected. Is.there nobody in Russia who could shew by some-, thing more rational than an Imperial Edict, that Counsellor of State JAZENKO was talking nonsense? The EDIPEROR ought to have recollected, that next to liberty of person, there is no right so sacred as that of liberty of opinion. French 5 per Cents. Friday, 75 fr. The articles which we yesterday laid before our Refiders from the Madrid Gazette, seem evidently to ' have been written for the meridian of Spain only. In every other part of Europe the real state of the con test between FERDINAND and the South Americans . has been made too well known, by the great inter course which the war has opened up between all the Maritime Powers and the South American ports, for such statements to produce much impression. Spain continues absolutely ignorant of the real state of South America, and the sacrifices which all classes are willing to make for the consolidation of their liberty. We shall at present only quote two instances from the Buenos Ayres Papers before us, which, whilst they evince the tone of feeling that prevails in the country, are extremely honourable to the parties •to whom they refer. When the combined Patriotic Army was in daily expectation of being attacked by the Royalists in Chili, and the public Treasury exhausted by preparations of defence, the whole cf the secular and regular Clergy, the various Corporate Bodies, and richest individuals of Santiago met together, and agreed to form a depot of all the silver plate, and valuable or-1 naments they respectively possessed for their personal use, and a Committee was named to present the same •, to Government, with an appropriate Address. The • Goyeninient accepted the same as a loan, and as • property which, in the hands of Commissioners, might be pledged . as a security for advances of money, but not alienated, as the same Would be returned go the respective owners as soon as the revenue of the State would allow. In the mean time, to record such a patriotic act, the following inscription was engraved on the Pyramids which exist in the eastern and wes tern points forming the two•entrances from the sea and land side into the capital: On the stkof March, MS, the inhabitants of Sentinel voluntarily deli/wed gip the whale of their jewels and silver plate. wetness diet. they plena furnish *motives with no other u long as their country wu in danger. bratiops of *e universr, foreigners' who may,ealer decide whether suck people relay* be cohverted rota pineal" It its well known fact, that ClimertVSAN MA Rttti itefusid to accept eitlsee additidnal rank or any ph-- lion& eecompence, after the two brilliant victories gained at Chacabiico and Maipo. On the first occa sion, the Municipality of Santiago sent him a present of 20,000 dollars, which he returned, saying, that he was satisfied with having done his duty. His example has been followed by the other Chief Officers, as ap pears by the following correspondence : DIATATCH OF WI lICTILLIER DIRECTOR 01 CHILI SO EMI 111130R INDIERAL OF TUX ONIEED MIXT or TIER ANDRE AND CUILI, DON ANTONIO ooNsALtz imicAztr. Chili being grateful for the distinguished services yeti have rendered in favour of freedom, I have been induced to remu nerate them in part by the assignment contained in the annexed Decree, under the impression that if, owing to the arrears of the public funds, the same is not in any way commensurate with your merit, or to the extent the Government could have wished, you may at the same time receive It as a small demonstration of its gratitude and esteem. (Signed) Santiago, May 2, 1818. • Dame n° O'llicorn. Decreed in favour of General nar.r..tars, a pension of 3,000 dollars per ann. which shall be allowed him by the public trea sury from the 6th inst. &c. (Signed) O'llsoonna &avow, Sec. General BALCARIE returned for answer, that could in no way accept the testimony of regard offered to him by the Chili Government, and he requested to be allowed to decline the acceptance of any pension or personal reward whatever. We might add, what has Spain to expect as long as South America pos. ' sesses men of this class ? Letters from Candy of the 15th of April have been received, which, we are sorry to state, represent the health of the troops in a less favourable light than former accounts. The c a ses in the hospital, which were only eight, had risen within a few days to 200., The rebellion still continues, and the motions of the insurgents are such as to keep the troops continually lon the alert, which proves very exhausting. bo de termined are the rebels in their harassing warfare, that our military never can promise themselves secu rity from their attacks, in which they are much as sisted by the woody face of the country, which ena• bles them to approach our troops, simultaneously on all sides, without being discovered till made known by their attacks. They are also exceedingly subtle in contriving means to lead our troops into the snares laid for them. For example, on one occasion they set fire to the country residence of an Adigarirightly judging that the troops would fly to the spot to en deavour to extinguish the flames: the finesse took, and the soldiers soon found themselves fired upon from the woods on all sides. Such is the opinion en tertained of their address in seizing opportunities for mischief, that even the sick in our army hospital, re collecting the fate of Major DA VT'S men, keep their arms beside them, constantly loaded. By letters from Grenada of the SI st July, we learn that the European residents had not been so healthy as could be wished. The fever of the climate had been very prevalent, and in many cases had proved fatal. A few days before the accounts came away they had been visited with a pretty severe shock of an earthquake, attended with dreadful thunder; but happily no mischief had occurred. The Bon Accord, Which arrived at Aberdeen on' the 17th instant, from Davis Straits, with about SOO tons of oil, left the ice IS days before, and has brought dispatches for the Admiralty from the Dis- • covery ships, which she fell in with a short time pre vious to her departure, and consequently brings the latest intelligence of them. Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyds at Cadiz, dated the Ist September, 1818: " A severe gale from the East was experienced here oo the gBth ultimo, which lasted the whole of that night and the greater part of the next day. The following vessels sustained damage : " The Alexander, Ga►xan, from Liverpool to Messina, which had sprung a leak and put in here, must discharge her cargo and repair. " The Kitty, DenoAx, of Waterford, drove on shore. and lost an anchor and cable. " The Samuel, Ls Lacnivs, of Guernsey, lost an anchor and cable. 4 . The lusolante, alias la Pena, of Malta, Lartoscra Master, driven on shore, and knocked her keel cif, and expected to go to pieces. 41 The Spanish brigs Sta. Jose, alias Esperansa, and Nuevo Felepeno. were driven on shore, and went to pieces; and soave other vessels lost anchors and cables." We are without any letters from Lancashire this morning, nor, indeed, did we expect any by the Sun day Mail from that quarter ; for, notwithstanding the restless state in which that district has so long been, riot and disorder on the Sabbath has formed no fea- 1 ture in the proceedings of the discontented workmen. We learn, however, by letters from Bristol, that the journeymen Carpenters in that city and neighbour hood have struck for an increase of wages. In the year 1816, when there was a comparative decrease in the demand for labour in that line, their wages were reduced six-pence a-day, which they now demand to be restored to them. No serious consequences are apprehended from this dispute, between the men and their employers. Government last week contracted for the supply of 20,000 tierces of beef and pork, the whole one year's consumption for 21,000 seamen. , Saturday, Mr. O'Mitaton, late Doctor to %Ns.' rAttalt, had an interview with Six GEonoa Co x: BMW, at the Admiralty. i • 1 . 1 i .

" Sir HENRY HA LFORD had also a long conference with Sir FRANCIS MILLMAN, OR the state of her MAJESTY, when some alteration was again !wide in her medicines, and at length, towards ten o'clock, she had some sleep, and shortly after the PRINCE REGENT set out on his return to Carlton House. It is feared, however, that her MAJESTY'S sleep was caused by mere exhaustion, and the operation of opiates, as her pain and restlessness throughout the day had been excessive, and her sleep was broken in short intervals, we understand, with a considerable degree of fever. “ Towards eleven o'clock the more violent symp toms of her Wm-met disorder abated very mate rially, and she remained, throughout the day, and up to half-past seven o'clock, apparently free from pain, but most distressingly exhausted. " In the forenoon, the Duke of YORK visited the Palace, in his way from Oatlands to London, and passed several hours with the PRINCESSES and the Physicians. The PRINCESSES were also visited by the Countess of CARDIGAN ; and they resumed their walks in the Gardens, attended by General TAYLOR. Sir HENRY HALFORD set out also to attend the Pat:messes in their walk, but he was recalled by the arrival of Dr. Batitte at the Palace, from Windsor. Dr. BAILLIE visited her MAJESTY in company with the other Physicians, and they had afterwards a con sultation, which lasted a considerable time, and he then returned to the Castle. About three o'clock the Duchess of YORK ar rived from Oatlands in her curricle, and a little before five the PRINCE REGENT from Carlton House. The Duchess was about to depart, and was entering her curricle, when the PRINCE drove into the court. Her Royal Highness immediately re-alighted and remain ed till the departure of the PRINCE, and at half-part six o'clock they departed within a few minutes of each other; the PRINCE to return to Carlton House to dinner, and her Royal Highness to Oatlands. The Duke of Sussex was also at the Palace in the course of the afternoon, and he alighted, as usual, at one of the private doors of the Botanic Gardens, which open on to Kew Green. His Royal Highness withdrew immediately on the arrival of the PRINCE REGENT. " Sir FitAscts Mita.u.s); took advantage of the slight improvement in her MAJESTY'S health to visit his house at Pinner. He went about three o'clock, but was expected back in the course of the night." This day the following Bulletin was issued : " Kow Pollee, September tn. " The QUEEN has had sleep in the night, but the symptoms of her MAJESTY'S complaint are not im proved. (Signed) H. HALFOAD. MILLMAN."
