The following letter gives an interesting detail of events that took place at the time of the treacherous surrender of Callan to the Royalists: EXTRACT OF A . LETTER, DATED CALLAO BAY, ON BOARD THE BRIG AURORA, FEBRUARY 26, 1824. " Before this reaches you, you will have heard of Callao being again a Spanish fortress, the Buenos- Ayrean Black Regiment having again put it into their hands; and which, as soon as known, the British mer chants began to feel would bear heavy upon their seve ral interests, and from the robberies daily committing on shore and in the Custom-house warehouses by the Blacks, they determined to lose no time in getting their property out of their hands ; and myself and fiiend came down here for that purpose, to arrange matters with the Governor, Casa-Irugo (formerly a Spanish Colonel, and prisoner in the Castle); but he threatened us with total confiscation of all British property, al though we well knew he was otherwise inclined. After, however, two or three days delay, on the 15th inst. we obtained permission to embark all British property on payment of 151 per cent. duty, which, rather than sub mit to farther depredations from the Negroes, the mer chants determined upon acceding to; Captain Martin, of his Majesty's ship Fly, having previously demanded the embarkation of all British property without success. " The next day, the 16th, the Protector, with Admiral Guise, came into the Bay, which circumstance, as anti cipated, put a stop altogether to further embarkation, and from that dine to the present no British goods have been allowed to proceed from the shore. The robberies in the Custom-house and on shore upon the Plaza have been very great, principally committed by the black soldiers, who have been and still continue in a complete state of disorganization, and under no controul of their o!'ficers. With regard to my own property, and the property of others under my care, I was fortunate enough to embark the whole of my goods in the Custom house and in Lima, that were moveable, on board the Fame ten days before ; and I have now no other goods on shore than . thost in my private store, which has as yet suffered no plunder, nor any of the others belonging to foreigners. Contributions have been forced, which the parties bear their respective proportions of. " Fortunately for the British shipping and property afloat, Captain Martin, a few days previous to Admiral Guise's arrival, by strong remonstrances with the Go vernor, and no small risk and trouble, obtained per misrion for all British shipping to withdraw themselves from under the guns of the fortress, and to take up their anchorage out of gun-shot range ; so that all the British Vessels are now anchored a league from the shore, and allowed no other communication than for water, which is denied to all other flags. " Six United States vessels, laden with flour, &c. and in ballast, have been taken possession of by the Go vernor, and their cargoes landed, but whether by the consent of those concerned is not known, although they had a good opportunity to have come out when the British vessels proceeded for the outer roads, but they have preferred, it is said, remaining behind with a view of selling their flour, &c. " On the night of the 24th instant, Admiral Guise made a most daring and gallant attack upon the forts and Patriot ships of war in the port, which the Spa niards had taken possession of and manned, and I am happy to say. succeeded in cutting adrift every armed ship and store-ship in the harbour, and he set fire to and burnt the Venganza frigate. Santa Rosa corvette, and the Oceana, Chilian vessel that was in the harbour, and one or two other small craft. " The fire from the forts was tremendous, but to no purpose whatever against the boats, which surmounted every difficulty, and completely effected the object they had in view. The frigate, corvette, and Oceana, are burnt to the wate►'s edge: the latter caught fire by acci dent. The conflagration took place at two o'clock in the mot ning, and the grandeur mid awful effect of the scene cannot be described. " By this manoeuvre the American provision vessels have been completely burnt out, the port having been made too warm for them, and the Admiral has now taken them under his own protection. This port is now declared under a sti ict blockade, which is now and will be respected by the British commander. " Our communications are now carried on by Chrila. las (couriers), by which we daily receive advices, and shall continue so to do until the Spaniards come down, who, it is said, are expected in Lima in all this week. It is, however, the general opinion afloat, ft om the discontent prevailing among tl►e blacks, and the harassed state toes are kept in by Admiral Guise, that a counter-re volution in the Castles is not far distant, should the ar rival of the Spaniards be many days delayed." " Brig Aurora, CaUao Bay, March I. " I wrote you fully pet brig Calder on the tt6th ultimo. The preser.t is merely to advise, that the Spanish forces under General Rode! took possession of the Castles yesterday, and of Lima the cv.ming previous. " Tbe occupation of the Castles as above appears generally to tire satisfaction to those Living property it stake, as their anxiety i . considerably abated with respect to farther depredations on pro- r.:ft y, which it is thought will be respected, and the insubordination of the revolted Ncvoes will now be very soon put an end to by the Spanish forces. By all accounts, the evacuation of Lima ' and °few' pation by the Sp an i s h ::rmy , too k p l ace w i t h o ut any disorder-orloss of lives, t xcept a few excesses by robbers, which were trivial. Captain Mntio, of the 11y , went up to Lima :tithe 215th, to meet the Spanish authorities , and to make arrangem s for the se- the EXCISE DUTIES of GREAT BRIT, Ind 1824, shevrieg the Increase or Decrease TZARS lowan SPEY 5. 1523.

" Peruvians—The disasters of the army, and the contentions of parricidal parties, have reduced Peru to the lamentable condition of thawing recourse to the tyrannical power of a Dictator to preserve it. The Constitutional Congress has confided to me this odious autho- rity, which I could not have refused without treason to Colombia and to Peru, intimately connected by the bonds of justice, liberty, .ind national interest. I should have preferred never to have come to Peru, and I should even have preferred your kiss itself to the odious title of Dictator. But Colombia was comproniised, and I could not hesitate. " Peruvians, your Chiefs, your internal enemies, have calum niated Colombia, her brave defenders, and myself. They say that we intend to usurp your rights, your territory, and your indepen. dence. I declare to you, in the name of Colombia, and by the oath of the liberating army, that my authority shall not exceed the time indispensably requisite to prepare ourselves for victory ; that at the moment the army leaves the provinces which it now occupies, you shall be constitutionally governed by your own laws and your own Magistrates. " Peruvians, the field of battle, which will be a witness of the valour of our soldiers and the triumph of your liberty, that fortu. nate field shall see me throw from my hands the Dictatorship; and from that field I and my brothers in arms, having given you liberty, will return to Colombia, without taking a grain of sand from Peru.

Sunday last, the 22d of February, the General Com mandant and Intendant, Senor JOSE MARIA CARRENO, gave a grand entertainment to his Britannic MAJESTY'S Consul, MALCOLM M`GREGOR, Esq. Among the pa triotic feelings that were invited, the agreement and uniformity of sentiment of those who assisted at the table produced various appropriate toasts, from which we have selected the following : The President, the General Intendant, drank— 1. To the Congress, the Deliverer, theVice-President of Colom bia—Health—Fortune—Prosperity. 2. May the English Nation, in whom Colombia has met With firm and faithful friends, and who have 'protected them in their troubles, be persuaded that the Republic will prove its gratitude by a Arm and unbroken alliance. 3. May the brightness of the Sword of the Deliverer of Colombia dispel the clouds which obscure the Sun of Peru, and may this be proved by a victory equal tojhat of Boyaca and Carabobo, as the means of their independence. 4. May Great Britain, who has been the nrsr giving to the world an example of a 'Constitutional Government, and who is neither blinded by fanaticism nor superstition, acknowledge the Independence of the New World, without doing any other act than that of pure justice. The Consul drank— 1. To General Bolivar and the prosperity of Colombia, and may he firmly maintain and prosecute the glorious actions which his patriotism and labour have obtained, and may its independence be acknowledged by all. 2. To Colombia—May the amicable relations which Great Bri tain has entered into with her increase rapidly, and shortly form the solid basis of a future alliance. 5. To General Carreno, with the most cordial thanks, both for his splendid hospitality, as well as for his agreeable attentions, which will ever be remembered with gratitude. 4. To the Ladies of Colombia, who encourage their sons to imi tate the deeds of their fathers, and who know how to appreCiate the .signal benefits which their patriotism has pined for them. Senor Juan Jose Martinez, Provisional Governor of the Bishopric, drank— To the Consul, as a presage of the protection which the King of Great Britain will give to the Republic of Colombia. The Assistant Judge of the Intendency, Dr. Bias Arossemena, drank— May the lance of General Paes never cease to be brandished until it shall have overthrown the last enemy of Colombia. Colonel Miguel Antonio Figueredo drank— May the Departments of Colombia continue fixed in theft deter. urination of dying rather than remaining subject to the power of Spain,even though England should stand neuter in the contest. The Lieutenant• Colonel of Artillery, Jose Luiz Marto; drank— 1. May England, as liberal in its institutions as magnanimous in the policy observed towards the Republic, at once draw away the veil of secrecy from acknowledging our independence. 2. May the deliberations of our Congress be as discreet and ju dicious as the success obtained by their valout and patriotism -furl been fortunate. The Lieut.-Col. Commandant De Jirardot drank— In all the Departments of the Republic, may there be the same goo 4 order in their various branches, the same union among their inhabitants, and the same uniformity of patriotic sentiments as in that of the Isthmus.—Jramoica Revel Gazelle, April 24. A notice has been issued by the Minister of the Interior at Stutgard, that there will be, during the whole month of Septets. ber, a public exhibition of works of art and manufactures of the king dom, on the same plan as those in France and other countries. The Emperor of CHINA has as great a dread of Free masons as the King of Seam, as appears by the following extract from a letter from Toghan (capital of the province of Fokien in the kingdom of China, dated 22d January, 1823 :—" Hitherto discus. sions took place in the empire of China concerning the propriety of introducing the Freemasons among the number of the' Society of Heaven and Earth but as soon as the Emperor became ac quainted with the practices of this mysterious sect, be caused them to be apprehended, punished them rigorously, and moreover caused the house in which they assembled to be destroyed. Much time bad not passed when they were again discovered in a western province ; but precautions so energetic were adopted by the Go vernment, that the individuals of a sect so universally proscribed were arrested and punished with the utmost rigour." This article is publishtd in the Madrid Papers, to shew the similarity of Spanish and Chinese policy. A curious Petition has been presented to the French Chamber of Deputies, from an individual, who desires that the old mode of capital execution by banging sbould•be restored, and decapitation by the guillotine abandoned. This is very tragical mirth; yet one of the most humorous songs, circulated privately in Paris after the return of the Bourbons, was on this very subject. It was intitled—" The Norman's Petition," and solicited thAt among the other blessings of the Restoration, the Normans should have the privilege of bring " banged, as their forefathers were." liach verse had for its burden— " Comm on pendait nos pesos."

In the STAR of yesterday we gave, cxclusively, an ac• count of the flourishing state of the Revenue, as exhi bited by the Returns for the Quarter ending last even ing, and we now present our Readers with the Official' Documents on the subject. We stated that there was an apparent deficiency in the Customs of upwards of £96,000, and it will be seen that it is £98,350, and that the apparent decrease on the Quarter is £400,080, which is accounted for by our having paid upwards of £400,000 out of the Customs received in the presen t Quarter to the holders of the stock of raw and manufac tured silk, when the duties on that article were reduced. There has been also, as we stated yesterday, a reduc tion of taxes to the amount of £150,000 in the Olsstoms, which would otherwise have come into the account. It will be seen, by referring to the details, that there is an in crease in the Excise, for the Quarter just ended, over that of the corresponding Quarter last year, of £344,400; in the Stamps of £71,577 ; and in the Post-Office of £14,000. The inctease in the Excise is principally on Malt, Foreign Spirits, Hides and Skins, Paper, Printed Goods, Auctions, Hops, Tea, and Wine. The decrease is almost exclusively on articles where duties have been repealed. The surplus of the income over the charge on the Consolidated Fund, for the Quarter which terminated yesterday, is £1,127,209; and the total Re venue for the year is £.50,412,592. Thus it will be seen that the Returns are highly gratifying, and we feel much pleasure in adding that the Returns from Ireland are also very satisfactory, there being an in crease on every article of Revenue. The following are the Official Returns on which our observations are founded : INCOMt and CHANGE upon the CONSOLIDATED FUND, In the Quarters ended sth July, 1825, and sth July, )124.

We have just learned that a corps of Turkish trccp: has landed near Orco, on the northern point cf the of Negropont, whence it advanced into the interior o: the country, with the intention of uniting with the Turks in the fortresses .of the island. This plan has failed, at least for the present. A corps of Greeks, detached by Odysseus against the Turks, compelled them to make a hasty retreat and reimbark ; but it is believed, that when they have obtained reinforcements they will make a landing on another part of the island, particularly as they have been joined by some troops from Macedonia. Some Turkish ships o , war hdd ei.- tered the harbour of Volo. The inhabitants of that place were under arms, and will oppose every attewp: 'to effect a landing. The Greeks in that q 'rater a::: under the command of Diamanti. The Turkish pee: was last off the island of Selidoni. Some of the vessels had sailed for Salonichi ard others had put into that port. A Greek Corps of Ob servation had arrived near the Island of Skyro, and seemed resolved to take the first favourable opportunity to attack the Turkish ships. The Captain Pacha, how ever, is not in those seas, but the Vice-Admiral of the Turkish fleet has the chief command there, and has with him about a third part of the ships that have come In in the Dardanelles. With the remaining twoehirds the Captain Pacha remained near Mytilene, expecting the Egyptian squadron and the Asiatic corps that was ccl lected about Smyrna and was to embark there. This corps is said to have committed great excesses in Smyrna and the neighbourhood, which it bad not been possible to check. It appears that the plan of the Greeks is w destroy that pan of the Turkish fleet which is at the entrance of the harbour of Salonichi, before the other larger divi sion shall join it. In Macedonia all was quiet, and the communication between the Archipelago and Salonichi entirely free ; but on account of the precarious state of affairs, and the proximity of so many ships of war, r 0 speculation of any importance could be ventured up( n. It is considered as a piece of good fortune for Maceeo nia that the passage of Turkish troops from Adrianoplei which was announced, has not taken place. It is now certain that these undisciplinedhordes, instead of march ing against the Greeks, had proceeded to Schumla, 4 were to remain there for the present. It does not al - pear what may be their object. BERLIN, JUNE $4. M. de Guerrero, Envoy-Extraordinary, and Minister Plenipotentiary from P( rtugal to the Court of Pt us-io, has arrived at Berlin from Lisboa. • 'COLOGNE, JUNE $4. The colonial goods destined for Switzerland, tt:t conveyed by land from the coasts of the MediterraLen, through the South of France, by means of relays, %%li:ea greatly accelerate their arrival, and they are exei; pt from duties. The merchants of this city are considerii , g of moans to diminish this competition, which affects their interests. As the navigation of the Waal depend, entirely on the wind and weather, they propose, in con cert with the merchants of Amsterdam and Rotterdam, to organise a regular navigation, first by :nears of steam boats, and then to accelerate the conveyance flout Emmerich to Mayence by relays.
