The two ships of war Asia and Ac hil going round the Horn, from Spain, will of tour on the King's side in this dispute, and tend accordingly farther to embarrass La Serna and Canterac in their operations. On the whole, it is not improbable that, the ancient regime being restored in Spain, and tteton stitutiorud leaden in Peru so compromised as to leave them no hope of pardon from Ferdinand, that they may be precipitated into the measure of acknowledging the independence of Peru, particularly when they see that they can make such good terms for themselves by so doing." - --- FROM THE LIVERPOOL COURIER. The Alice, Captain Richards, arrived on Saturday,l from Jamaica, whence she sailed on the 28th of May. By her letters have been received from Lima and Guay aquil, by way of Panama and Jamaica, dated about the middle of March. We lament to state, that dual intelligence which they contain is far float being favour able to the Patriot cause. The following extracts of private letters, received by mercantile houses in Livers pool, contain the details of the reverses which have over taken the cause of Peruvian independence: " LIMA, 874 FILIMUMIT, 1824. " I am sorry to inform you we are at present in a worse situation than ever. Three days ago the regi ment of Rio de la Plata, which was garrisoning the castles, mutinied, put General Alvarado into prison, as also the captain of the port, and every officer that was in the castles and in Callao : thus the castles and the whole of the property in the port are in possession of a band of insurgents. It is impossible for any one to say what will be the end of this serious affair. The instil.' gents have sent word to the Government that n o th in g less will satisfy them than 80,000 dollars, and seven vessels provided for them to leave the country. A meeting of the Comercio (merchants) was called two days ago, but no such sum could be raised. A Decree was yesterday issued, calling upon all the inhabitants to give up their houses and fire-arms in three hours, and for every one who could defend the city against the insur gents to present themselves in the market-place. Thank Goo, last night passed over quietly, but many people are of opinion that they will come and plunder the city. There ate not above 300 troops in it, and the regiment which has taken the castles is 700 strong. Therefore, if they leave 300 in Callao, the 400, with the rabble that would join them, will be sufficient to plunder Lima. I am taking the best care of the property and books in my power. I have two extra men in the house, and hope to be able to keep' out the rabble ; but if twenty or thirty regular soldiers come, I shall not attempt it ; the property must be lost, as in that case the whole of the houses will be stripped, particularly the English. It will not surprise me if Tone Tagle and the Govern ment decamp suddenly to Truxillo. If any General or other soldier attempt to go to Callao, they immediately open the batteries upon them. They won't allow any * vessel to leave the port. They took the registers of all the vessels along with the captain of the port. The Sea Serpent got off the other night: they opened the long 24-pounders upon her, and did much mischief among the shipping. The Santa Rosa received three balls, and cannot be prevented from sinking. The Captain of his Britannic Majesty's sloop Fly sent them word that they had injured his rigging considerably, and requested they would desist. Ile received for an swer, that if he were not satisfied, he had nothing to do but to move out of their reach. The Insurgents had le vied a contribution of 4,000 dollars on the Barrocas in Callao ; and I am told that those who subscribed are allowed to get some part of their property afloat. Seve ral shops in Callao have been stripped of everything.— This revolutionary affair has been conducted with great skill ; all the Officers were surpri•ed at the same time. When General Alvarado was taken, he said,' For GOD'S sake, you are not going to deliver up the castles to the enemy ? Shoot me at unce."llie reply was, We can not do that yet.' It is said they have released several old Spaniards, prisoners in the castles; if this be true, the Royalists will have possession of them very shortly. -There is little doubt Rodil (the Royalist General) will be here in a few days with what forces he has at sea ; and if this Government cannot give the present posses sors of the fortresses 80,000 dollars, the Spaniards will soon advance them 100,000." " GUAYAQUIL, 9111 MAIM, 1824. •' By Mr. —'s letter from Lima, you will see the distracted state of affairs there ; the fortress of Callao being in the hands of a band of insurgents, that is, of mutinous regiment, chiefly composed of blacks. Since I received that letter, a vessel has arrived here which cut her cables, and got out of Callao, under a tremen dous fire from the forts, and being chased by the gun boats. She brings intelligence that the Spanish flag bad been hoisted by the mutineers, as well as on board every Patriot vessel in the port, from the whole of which the rudders had been forcibly unshipped, by or der of a black fellow who takes the lead, but who is, doubtless, counselled behind the skreen. Some American vessels, with flour on board, had also, it is said, their rudders unshipped. The English vessels had been 'al lowed to leave the port, and anchor out of the reach of the batteries, under protection of his Majesty's sloop of war Fly. Up to the 14th, no Spanish forces had arrived to avail themselves of this opportunity of getting the castles, as was expected. A day or two since an express arrived, bringing instructions, it is said, of the Congress in Lima being dissolved, and of full power, civil and military, being invested in General Bolivar, who imme diately proclaimed martial law. It is not said whether Bolivar remained in Patavilca, a small place to the north of Lima, or had arrived in the capital. You will easily conceive this news has created a panic all along the coast, and almost put a stop to everything." " GUAYAQUIL, DIARC/119. " As was to be expected, the Royalist Chiefs have availed themselves of the mutiny in Callao, and a force of 3,000 men, under Generals Rodil and Monet, marched into Lima and took possession of the castles of Callao on the 29th ult. of course, without any opposi tion from either place: nay, it would almost appear that the investing of Callao was a plot formed by the despicable Torre Tagle, late President of the Peruvian Government; for, on the approach of the Royalist forces, he published a Proclamation, declaring himself attached to the Spanish cause; calling upon the people to undeceive themselves and do the same ; and, after the most gross abuse and evil epithets, says, Bolivar is the greatest monster and tyrant that ever existed on the face of the earth,' and adds, that he wishes to en slave Peru! The whole of the Congress, which, on the 10th ult. invested General Bolivar with dictatorial powers, remained in Lima, and the Royalist Chiefs bad taken no measures against them. The political and military Governor of Lima (General Monet) had de manded from the English and foreigners 40 per cent. ^ duties on all property existing in their stores, and this was to be the established duty 'on all importationsei— Admiral Guise, with the frigate Prueba, and a schooner, was blockading Callao, and had cut out several vessels which the black fellows had detained in port. General Bolivar had retired from Patavilca to Trusillo, and had his troops distributed in such towns or villages as could 'supply sustenance. The number of his effective force in Peru is said to be from tea to 12,000, principally Co lombians, whilst that of the Spaniards is variously esti mated at ten to 14,000. General Bolivar is said to hold very strong positions. He appears desirous to avoid an action till hereceives further resources from Colombia ; but I think it not improbable the Spaniards will make an attack, and in a very few months something decisive or of moment will take place. Things cannot remain in their present state long." ii GUAYAQUIL, A2llll. 3, 1824. it Late reports from Peru state, that the Spaniards bad their advances as far as Huacho, and were expected to make an attack on General Bolivar very shortly. This department, as well as that of Quito, have been put under martial law, and preparations are making to send a reinforcement of 6,000 men." E EVENING STAR. LONDON. FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1824.

By a Mail from the Leeward Islands we have re-1 ceived letters of the 13th of June from St.Thomas's, and' of corresponding dates from the other islands. Very re cent accounts had been received at St. Thomas's from Maracaibo, and from Valencia, by which it was ascer tained that that part of the Colombian Main was per. fectly tranquil. AtLaguayra there had been a conspiracy formed among the blacks, but General PAEZ, who commanded there, having received timely intimation of it, made himself acquainted by means of his emissa ries with their plan of proceeding, and arrested the principal persons engaged in it, several of whom he caused to be put to death. His measures were so judi cious and decisive, that the inhabitants knew nothing of the conspiracy until they saw its authors punished. On consulting the numbers of the Colondriano,a paper published at Caraccas, to the 26th of May, we find little worthy of note respecting the internal situation of the Republic. It is stated that General SouaLETTE had been appointed at Bogota as Envoy to Great Britain. Of the falsehoods respecting Colombia in particular, and South America in general, which are unblushingly circulated by the Mad; id Gazette, the chief source is now ascertained to be the island of Porto Rico, from whence they spread through the West India Islands and to Europe. The Colo►nbi.ino of the 26th of May gives a specimen of this species of manufacture, which is too curious not to be copied, as exhibiting perhaps the greatest confusion ~ f time and space, as well as of utter ignorance of geography, ever combined in the limits of a single paragraph. It is as follows. " ST. THOMAS'S, MAT VI " The news from Porto Rico is, that Canterac is in Bogota ; Bo livar iu Carthagena ; the Congress in Cuadalita ; Maracaibo threat ened by eeo men who have revolted in Zulia ; and Caraccas by Cisneros. It sums also, that Sucre, who was in Arequipa, bad re queAtcol a supply of troops from Vinezuria." Every one of these facts is 'nosed to be totally false and absurd ; arid if, as the Editor of the Colombiano says, such statements ate put posely circulated by the enemies of the Republic, in order to deter Great Britain from acknowledging its independence, it is a subject of congratulation that they are so destitute of common sense and probability as to impose on no one. The papers we have received fa om Barbadoes, Anti gua, and other islands, communicate no event of im portance. This morning we received ilsmburgh Papers to the 2d instant. One of them contains the following account of some new regulations of the I'rotestant Church in the Prussian Duchy of Saxony : 41 One of the most important events in the affairs of the Evangelic Choi ches of the kingdom, and in the his tory of the Protestant religion in general, is undoubtedly the new CoMmon Prayer Kook, which oziginated with his Majesty himself. The King has lately caused a new edition of this Prayer Book to be puhli , lied, in which some passages are altered from the former edition ; it is also tendered more complete by the addition of a greater number of verses from the Bible, and prayers which may be used alternately with the formulary in the Liturgy. The King has also had au extract made from the Liturgy, for those Clergymen in town or coun try who have to preach on a Sunday in several Churches, or who have no choirs to sing, that it may be used at least when they are straitened for time. " The limitation of Divine Service to an hour is ex plained to include only the reading of the Liturgy, the Hymns sung by the congregation between that and the Sermon, and the Sermon itself, but not the Hymn or Psalm before the Liturgy ; and that after the Sermon, with respect to which the wishes of the congregation, if decidedly expressed, are to be complied with, it follows of course, that when the Sacrament is administered after the Sermon, the limitation of the time has no reference to that ceremony. " The Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs has notified these changes and explanations of the new Common Prayer Book, to the Consistory of the Duchy of Saxony, and at the same time acquainted it with his Majesty's plea sure respecting the introduction of the new Prayer Book. " It appears," says the Minister, " that a great part of the Clergy, especially in the country, have rejected• the Liturgy, fearing that the continual repetition of the same prayers, and the length of the Liturgy, would tire. the attention ; that the Clergy would not have time or strength to go through the Liturgy, and that the con gregations accustomed to sing several Hymns, would be much dissatisfied at having the singing reduced to a few verses. As these objections are removed by the alterations that have been made, it is expected that the Clergy who objected on the above grounds will not hesitate to in troduce the new Prayer Book, especially as his Majesty has shewn, by this new edition, how well disposed he is to attend to proposals and wishes the object of which is the more perfect attainment of the wholesome end in view. His Majesty being informed that the introduc tion of the Liturgy has been hindered, not by the congregations, but by the Clergy, who have dis suaded their flocks, his Majesty cannot refrain from expressing his just displeasure ; and the Consis tory is instructed to state this to the Evangelic Clergy within its jurisdiction, and to intimate to them that his Majesty will not suffer such conduct to pass unnoticed." Dutch Papers to the Bth of July were received this morning. The following are extracts : ST. PETEItSBURGH, JUNE 19. The departure of his Majesty the Emperor will pro- bably take place at the beginning of August. After the reviews are over, the Grand Duke Nicholas and his consort will make a voyage to Doberan, in Mecklenburgh, on board a ship of the line. On the 10th of March, an Ukase was issued to the following effect : 44 No public functionary in the Rus sian service shall, without special permission of his su perior, compose writings in any language whatever, FOREIGN EXCHANGES.

That the fall of Lima and Callao is a serious, though we suspect by no means fatal injury to the cause of the Patriots, cannot be de nied. It irry, perhaps, be a last and desperate effort on the part of the Royalist Chiefs, for lamps are apt to sparkle when expiring. The greatest obstacle to Peru vian independence is not, however, in the force of the Royalists, but in the apathy of the Peruvians them selves. They have always been less hearty in throwing off the yoke of Spain, and displayed less of a military I lcharacter than any of the other South American States that have declared their independence. It was, how ever, thought that the presence of BOLIVAR with his vic torious army would have the effect not only of rallying the Peruvians, but of healing those divisions which existed in the Government. In the former he has not been successful, but in the latter eminently so, having annihilated the party of RIVA AGUERo, the most for midable in Peru, and restored something like harmony at Lima. We yesterday noticed some reports that had passed through the Madrid and Pai is Papers relative to the events in Peru. Could these be relied on, the independence J Peru might indeed be justly despaired of; but when we know that they are gross mistatements, they are calcu lated to have a different effect. The Etoi/c of Wednes day contains the following article, which we give as a specimen of the accuracy of the Spanish and French accounts from South America: " Santa-Fe is occupied by the Royalist General Canterac. Bolivar, who had assembled 14,000 men under his orders, has been completely beaten and routed by a less numerous corps of the Royal Army. It is principally to the Spanish cavalry that this triumph of the good cause is due. The results of this victory have been, in the first place, that 4,000 insurgents have abandoned the standard of revolt to range themselves under the Royal banners, and the flight of Bolivar as far as Carthagena—a flight which was so precipitate, that his guard of honour either perished, or aban doned him." Now it so happens that there is not one of those state ments true. Santa Fe de Bogota, the place, we sup pose, meant by the French Editor, was, at the date of the 9th May, much later intelligence than any received at Paris and Madrid, not occupied by CANTERAC. Bo- LIVAR has never been defeated in Peru, as his army had never fought. BOLIVAR was not at Carthagena ; but, on the contrary, 3,000 miles distant at the time the latest intelligence was received from him, which was of the 19th of May. The same Journal says, the Royalist General URDA NETA had taken possession of Maracaibo, and had seized seven ships belonging to the insurgents. Now, as URDANETA is a Colombian General, if he has taken seven ships, they must be Spanish ; and as to taking possession of Maracaibo, he was recently appointed In tendant of that place by the Peruvian Government. — Such are a few instances of the ignorance or wilful per versions of the French and Spanish Journalists. which, though dispensed from the censorship, treat of the domestic or foreign affairs of the Empire." The FrenCh corvette, the Seine, belonging to the squ'adton now in the roads of Cronstadt, will sail in three or four days, and take the French Ambassador, Marquis de Saint Simon back to Copenhagen. The new Journal announced under the title of go Russia under Alexander the First," which the Coun sellor of State M. Von Engelhard intended to publish, will not appear. lIERREVADS-KLOSTER (IN SCANIA), JUNE 23. Their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess arrived here to-day, in good health. Thtir Majesties the King and Queen, accompanied by several Generals, went a quarter of a league to meet them. The health of bis Royal Highness is perfectly restored, and no trace of his indisposition remains. The cavalry, nearly 3000 men, executed to-day va rious evolutions, to his Majesty's entire satisfaction. There ate only 64 sick in the whole camp. The fall in the French Funds has furnished a new ground of attack against M. de VILLELE by the Jour nal des Debais. Tne cause of that fall was, in part, the report of an intention to send English troops to Portu gal, and the apprehension that an expedition of sttch auxiliaries might be displeasing to the Holy Alliance. " Such alarms," says this paper, " could not have been entertained under the Minist y of a man whose noble and frank character secured confidence, and rendered communication more easy." If M. de CHATEACBRIAND had therefore continued in the Cabinet, Don Mlct:Li. would not have rebelled, nor would his Faithful .‘la jest), have looked to his old ally fur assistance. DEATH OF THE QUEEN OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. We some time ago stated that the King and Queen of the Sand wich Islands were ill of the measles, which at this time are very prevalent. Eve)) , attention was of course paid to them, but we regret to state that me. dical aid has proved abortive in the case of the Queen; who died last night at ten o'clock, at Osborne's Hotel, in the Adelphi, to the great grief of the King, her bus. band, who appears inconsolable. It is a matter of some curiosity to know whether the King will suffer his consort to be interred here, or wish to convey her to the Sandwich Islands, to be buried according to the customs of his country. THE KING. WINDSOR, JULY B.—lt is expected his MAJESTY will visit the Castle this afternoon, attended by Mr. WYATT, for the purpo , ,e of inspecting the alterations. It is also expected that his MAJESTY will leave the Royal Lodge in the Great I ) .lrk, to-morrow, to make a short tray to London. The improvements at the Castle are begun. It appears that Mr. Wyatt's plan is confined to the improvement of the Castle oni; and that hie. Nash has formed a plan for the exterior improve ments, which will not be acted on until those of the Castle are completed. An opening has been made in the Castle wzll, adjoining the Devil's Tower, opposite the Round Tower, for tl'e ingress and egress of the men who will be employed in clearing Cu: the fosse of that part of the Round Tower fronting the Castle square, which was filled up several years since, on a level with the square, by his late Majesty's order. The square, wh.cis is on a rise from the entrance on the south side up to the State apartments of the Castle on the north, is to be lowered so as to ra der it level. The statue of Charles the Second, which stands its the centre of the square, is to be removed near to the Itound Tower. A new clock is to be placed where the old one stands, over the grantlentrafice into the State apartments. The east wi of the Castle, where his Majesty resides, together with the south wing, are to be unroofed and gutted. The whole of the apartments in the above two wings, being ancient and incommodious, will b! modernised, and raised a story higher; a grand covered colonnade, sufficiently wide for two carriages to pass abreast, will be erected iound the square in the interior of the Castle. The apartments for the Ministers of State, in the south wing, will be separate, each cum mantling a private entrance. The grand entrance into the Castle, will be in direct line with the Long Walk, and that of the entrance into the State Apartments, from which there will be a command ing view of the Long Walk to the top of Snow Hill. Yesterday evening, soon after six o'clock, an Espies; arrived at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs its Downing-street, with Dispatches from Sir CHARLES Smuts, our Ambassador at Paris, to Mr. Secretary CANNING. The Duke of YORK honoured the Earl and Countess of Maasriatn with his company to dinner yesterday. Lord COLCHESTER had a dinner party yesterday. Lord and Lady LANGFORD and family have left town for their seat in Surrey. His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE re turned to Ilanover on the 28th ultimo, from his tour in the Duchies of Luneburg and Bremen, where he has reviewed several regiments. The Earl and Countess of LONSDALE gave a grand dinner on Wednesday, at their house, in Charles -street, Berkeley square, to a large party ; among whom were Lord and Lady flew- MONT, Mr. and Lady Mm VECKIITT, Lady C. Pommy, Baron GRA HAM, Mr. CROKRR, Mr. LUSHINGTON, &c: &c. The Marquis and Marchioness of SALISBURY had a large party to dinner on Wednesday, at their house in Park-place. The Marquis of HERTFORD entertained the Count and Countess LISTEN, and a party, at dinner yesterday, in Piccadilly. The Duke of GRAFTON had a grand dinner party yesterday, at his house in Cbrges-street. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE.—Yesterday morning was married, at St. George's, Hanover-square, the Honourable Oiond Homy Lycoss, M.P. to Lady SUSAN ELIOT, second daughter of the Earl and Countess ST. GaIDIAIN. After the ceremony the happy Pak set off for the bridegroom's seat, Farmington Lodge,Gloucestershir o Sir GEORGE WooD, who lately retired from the office of one of the Barons of the Exchequer, died at his house in Bed ford-square, last night. This learned person was upwards of eighh years of age, and preserved his faculties unimpaired till within short period of his death. The SPEAKER of the House of Commons has pre' sensed the University Club with a complete set of the Journal; and Reports, comprising 101 volumes. Mr. Ricx.maw, one of the . Reading Clerks of the House, has given four volumes of Recorjt. and Mr. PHILLIPS the SPICAKKR'S Secretary, who, as well al Mr. RICKMAN, is a Member of the Club, has added the Popubt° and Parish Returns, in four volumes. This will be a considers* addition to the library. I , EMPLOYMENT FOR THE f „ ' . l lowing POOR OF GALWAY.--The " 4. 1 lowing is a copy of the answer which was written bi order of th:..
