SOUTH AMERICA. A Curacoa paper, of the 27th December, contains verbose dispatches, announcing victory obtained by the Royalists, of which the following is the substance: " A French squadron had arrived at Portobello, to convey specie from thence to Havannah and Cadiz, on account of the Spanish Government. A dispatch of Morino to the Captain-General of Venezuela, dated Dec. 7, states, that he had marched to Gua• darrama, with the intention of reinforcing Colonel La Torre. On his arrival there, however, he re ceived a dispatch from La Torre, stating, that on the 2d of December, he attacked Zaraza's force, which had been posted on a height near Hogaza, to the number of 1560 men, with two pieces of artillery. The Spanish force, which i is stated to have consisted of only 300 cavalry and 900 infatry, advanced with undaunted courage, amidst cries a. Long live the Kingl" The cavalry, under Arragones, repulsed the enemy to a great distance in the rear of the line.— Colonel Juez was then assailed by the enemy's cavalry of the right, reinforced by the squadron of reserve, but they were also routed ; and the Spanish infantry having made a gallant charge with the bayonet, the enemy were thrown into complete disorder and took to flight, leaving every thing behind them. " Pursued by the Spanish infantry, and having their retreat cut off by Arragones, the whole of the Independent Infantry were killed, wounded, or made prisoners, and the greater part of the cavalry met with a similar fate. The loss of the Royalists is stated' at only eleven killed, and 82 slightly, and 16 severely wounded. Colonel La Torre was wounded by a musket-shot in the thigh, as he was charging at the head of the infantry, and eleven officers were wounded.' The Patriots lett behind on the field, two brass three pounders, 1200 muskets, four stand of colours, 11 drums, 50,000 musket-cartridges, one load of flints, a printing machine, and all their baggage. After the action a fire broke out in the bushes on the field of battle, in consequence of which a great number of the - - both sides perished /- the flames. occupied by the contigent of the Hanoverian troops. Upon the report made by the Officers of this corps, his Royal Highness the Prince Regent of England and Hanover has been pleased to grant the sum of 20.000 francs to repair the damage. This act of ge nerosity is as generally appreciated as the zeal with which it has been solicited by the Hanoverian Officers. The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday have arrived since our last. The proceedings in the trial of the Skam Dauphin and his confederates were concluded on Wednesday, and judgment was to be given on the following day. His Majesty declined making any defence; he said he had no occasion, and that if they would not recog nize his rights, they might send him out of France. The part he has acted seems a seducing one ; for not withstanding the correction with which it is pretty sure to be followed, we find that another Dauphin has actually appeared on the stage. On Wednes day afternoon, about six o'clock, an individual, well dressed, of tall stature, and agreeable mien, penetrated into the Tuilleries as fax as the Guards' Hall, saying that he wished to speak to the KING, and that he was Charles of France, son of Lotus XVI. He was immediately arrested and taken before the Duke of Ilictunio, the Major-General on duty :-"-lb.hat ulteriorly took place is not known. ,The man is said to be one Sieur DUFRESNE, nephew of a late negociant of that name. The Duke of WELLINGTON gave a brilliant concert on Wednesday. Nothing further is said respecting the attempt on his life. Fourteen libels are stated to have been seized in the course of the last few days, and the authors, printers, and distributors of them cited before the Correctional Police. French 5 per Cents. 13th Feb. 66fr. 40c. If we are to credit the Caraccas Gazette, the Roy alists under Monti.Lo have obtained a victory over the Independents equal to any of BONAPARTE'S at Marengo, Austerlitz, or Jena!! In the New York Papers, which we this morning received to the 21st ult. are the following allusions to the affairs of Spanish America : " BALTIMORE, JAN. is. " Captain GANSZ arrived here la - st evening in the schooner Elizabeth, 28 days from Campeachy, states that a few days before sailing, advices were received there of General MINA having been executed in the neighbourhood of Mexico, on account of which the town was brilliantly illuminated. Captain GAwrz further states, that it was expected and fully cre dited, that the followers of MINA were either dis persed or annihilated. Of course the cause of the Patriots in Mexico must be in a most forlorn state." " CHARLESTON, JANUARY 16. " Late accounts from Barbadoes state, that his Britannic Majesty's brig Childers had been sent to the Spanish Main, by Admiral Milne, to demand satisfaction for depredations committed on the Bri tish commerce. " Actual preparations are making for Gen. Aury's party to leave this. The probability k, that they will not ,get off under 15 or '2O days. There will be a strong force of ships and men." When the intelligence of the lamented death of the Princess CHARLOTTE reached Jamaica, a day was immediately ordered to be set apart for humiliation and prayer, and the 9th ultimo was dedicated to these religious duties. According to private letters from Vienna, the Em peror FRANCIS is about to resume the title of Empe ror of German N I the hereditary Prince of AUSTRIA to be created King of Germany ; and the Archduke Cu A aLts to be appointed Field Marshal efthe Empire. Saturday morning arrived at Portsmouth, the PHAETON frigate, Captain FRANCIS STANFELL, from the Mauritius, the Cape of Good Hope, St. Helena, and Ascension, which places respectively she left at the following dates :-19th November, 25d Decem ber, Bth January, 13th January.—His Excellency Governor FARQUHAR, suite, and family, are passen gers by her from the Mauritius, and Commissionei I'uGET and son (formerly from Trincomalee), from the Cape—in all, eighteen passengers. Sir ARTHUR FORBES, Bart. and Lieutenant JENKINS, 12th regi ment, late Aides-de-Camp to Governor FARQUHAR, are come home with him. A gale came on soon after the arrival of the PHAETox, which prevented any communication with the shore for several hours. None of the passengers had landed on Saturday !tie* Me are informed she does not bring any intelligence of importance. The Cadmus, Dent, and General Stewart, sailed from Port Louis (Mauritius), for England, on the 25th October, and had passed the Cape. The Elizabeth was to sail in a few days for London, and the Chandernagore for Havre. There had been no re cent seizure of slave vessels in the neighbourhood of the Mauritius. The Slave Trade had been abolished by the native Powers of Madagascar (which island was the great sourse of supply), by their municipal laws, in conformity with .a Treaty concluded between the King of OVA and the Government of the Mauritius. Captain STANFELL, of the PHAETON, who had been indefatigable, zealous, and active in co-operation, for effectually suppressing the Slave Trade in the Eastern Seas, and Mr. PYE, Agent for the British Government with the Madagascar States, carried into effect this important measure. When the PHAETON was at St. Helena (Bth of January) BONAPARTE was generally believed to be in good health but he had not been visible for some time to strangers. The Marquis of Wellington, from India to Portsmouth, having some troops on board, left St. Helena on the 16th oiJanuary. There was no homeward-bound ship at the island when the PHAETON left. It is under ' stood the 'PHAETON has been ordered home for the purpose of being paid off. ALGIERS. The Paris Papers, it will be remembered, stated, that an qfficial account had been received by the Sar dinian Ambassador at Vienna, of the reported out rages by the Der of Algiers. The following account, most probably received from that quarter, has since appeared in the Austrian Observer of the Bth instant, the authenticity of which it warrants. It agrees, as will be seen, in all the essential points with the origi nal rumours: A Sardinian brig having been carried into the port of Algiers on the 14th November, the Consul of that nation repaired before the Minister of Marine, in order to appeal against the capture. He was well enough received; but at the moment when he was about to obtain justice, the Spanish Consul came also to complain about three ships of his nation. Both affairs were then taken before the Divan ; the Dat decided that the vessels should be restored, but that I the cargoes should be confiscated. All the European Consuls assembled. It was resolved that they should repair in a body to the Day, and that the Sardinian Consul should address him in Turkish. He spoke to him accordingly in a most energetic manner; but scarcely had he finished, when the DEY burst_ out into a violent fury, exclaiming, that he had no need of the sea to support his subjects ; that the land was sufficient for them; that if the European Consuls were not content, they were at liberty to embark ; that, in short, he was a good Mussulman, and no Christian. During this time, the Captain of the Guards had orders to arrest the nephew and two i nieces of the English Vice-Consul. They forced them 'with the poniard at their throats to abjure the Chris tian religion. The place where the Dey gave audience to the Consuls resembled a den of thieves : he was seated on the ground, and surrounded with Janissa ries, armed cap-a-pee. The Sardinian Vice• Consul, in the midst of sabres raised over his head, protested against the violation of the rights of nations, declar ing, repeatedly, that he was ready to die for the ho nour of his Sovereign. His noble demeanour im pressed the barbarians with respect. The Dey gave him orders to depart immediately. On the 26th of INovember, a young girl of five years of age, a sub ject of the King of Sardinia, and god-daughter of the Sardinian Vice-Consul, WAS seized by the orders of the Dey, and imprisoned with the two Englishwomen." Yesterday Divine Ser►ice was performed at Carlton House, by the Rev. F. W. Swansea° and the Rev. Dr. STANIER CLARKE. Yesterday, soon after one o'clock, the PRINCE RE GENT, accompanied by the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, left town for Windsor. Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of CUMBRILAND and the Prince of Hesse-lifostagao, attended by Ba ron ONAGIITEN, heard Divine Service at the Chapel Royal, at St. James's Palace. Saturday morning the Duke Of CLARENCE arrived in town, at his residence in St. James's Palace, from Bushey. His Royal Highness received a visit from the Prince of HEssE-HomaEno. Prince ESTER Il AZY'S entertainment to the PRINCE REGENT, was one of the most sumptuous banquets this country ever produced, served up on a profusion of gold and silver plate, highly enriched with sculp ture. The plateaux, the candelabra, &c. were of the same precious metals. A concert succeeded the din ner. The PRINCE REGENT was highly delighted. The Birth-day of Viscount CURZON, was kept at his seat at Hagley, near Rugeley, on Friday se'nnight. This venerable Noblem a n - has now passed the 90th year of his age. The transport Thomas and Mary, J. DYSART, Master, recently arrived at Portsmouth from the Me diterranean, with the remains of the 14th Regiment on board: left Malta on the sth of December, and Gibraltar on the 2Sd ultimo. She has also brought to England the crew of a Prussian vessel, which was captured off Ushant on the 22d of June last by one of the Tunisian corsairs, which was afterwards de tained and sent into the Downs, when on her voyage with a cargo of brandy and wine from Bourdeaux to Bremen. The moment Sir C. PENROSE had learned that the crew had arrived at Tunis, he instantly dis patched the Hon. Captain SPENCER, in the GA NYM EDE, to demand their immediate release. The BEY ob jected, but Captain SPENCER warmly remonstrated, and threatened to withdraw the Consul from the Regency, if his demands were not complied with.— The Bey, at length, reluctantly complied, and the joyful captives were conveyed on board the GANT.. MEDE. As the plague had most destructively pre vailed in the vicinity of Tunis, it was arranged, that, to prevent contagion, the liberated captives should be stripped of every article of clothing, and in this state they were received, and, on their arrival at Malta, were put on board the Lazaretto there, to perform 40 days' quarantine. The Thomas and Mary left the GAN YMEDE, MYRMIDON, and WEYMOUTH, at Malta, and the Aurrox, 74, Captain COODE, at Gibraltar. Sir CHARLES PENROSE'S flag was flying in the MYR)! IPON, at Malta. The WEI - mount was to sail for England about the 20th of December.— The remains of the 14th Regiment (about 144) Officers and men) are to land at Portsmouth, and march to the depot at Chichester. The Thomas and Mary, during a violent gale on Saturday morning, cut her cables and ran into the harbour :—on her passage from Gi lbraltar, on the 4th inst. (off &illy) she spoke the brig Bulldog, of and from Liverpool, bc.:nd to Demerara : and on the 11th spoke the ship Thetis, of and from London, to Jamaica, all well. Commissioner•WOLLEY lately vacated the Naval Establishment at Gibraltar, and went up to Malta in the GLASGOW frigate, to succeed Commissioner LAn cow, who comes to England with his family in the WEYMOUTH store-ship. According to Treaty at the Congress of Vienna, the Island of Malta has been placed under the English Laws, and, in consequence, three convicts who were sentenced to be transported at the first Sessions held, have arrived in the Thomas and Mary, to undergo their sentence. Vl LitiLLIC, 111 {..VIISLNIACIII.O Vi watiLia A *MAL lILILLIUGI of the wounded on both sides perished in the flames. By this accident the bodies were so disfigured that it was impossible to ascertain by their features the In- dependent chiefs who had perished. Some of the pri- soners, however, stated, that among their numbers were Colonel Martiaez, Lieutenant-Colonels Montes, Valderramas, and Lecuma, (Valderramas is stated to be an Englishman.) The fire also consumed most of the articles that the Patriots had left behind. The dispatch concludes with recommending to Morillo, the officers and men who distinguished themselves in the battle, which is said to have equalled those of • Marengo, Austerlitz, and Jena r THE EVENINer STAR.

A letter from Mons says, " We have repeated, on a large scale, in our coal mines, the experiments • with the lamps of Sir HUMPHREY DAVY: they have been attended with the most complete success, and have convinced the most obstinate. These lamps are most justly called safety lamps." SECOND CHAMBER OF STATES GENERAL. SITTING OF THE 17TH. The President announced that the report of the central Section on the Project of a Law relative to the changes to be made in the Tarif of the Customs, the discussion of which was fixed for to-morrow, not being yet printed, it cannot be distributed to the Members till to-morrow morning ; he proposed to defer the discussion till 'Thursday, which was adopted. A letter was read from the Secretary of State, sending by order of his Majesty, a revision of some Articles of the Project of Law of the 3d of this month, for repressing the Licentiousness of the Press. 1 The President invites the Members to unite after the Sitting in their respective Sections to examine these revised articles.
