The followiag are extracts from letters which we have received (via the Cape of Good Hope), from Naval Officers employed on the coast of Chili and Peru. We have no doubt whatever of the authenticity of the writers statements—an assurance we should deem un necessary, did w e not know the great interest which is at the present moment attached by British merchants to information from that distant quarter : " Callao, Septonbrr 29, 1823. " President B blivar art ived here on the Ist inst. from Guayaquil, and was received with every mat k of respect it was in the power of these people to bestow. A report l'as reached us that an action has taken place between General Santa Cruz and General Valdez, in which the latter was defeated, with the loss of 300 men. Not ith stadtling this event, I must alter my opinion the writer's former letters to the pi inteis expressed his con ' fidence in the success of the Royalists], as it is next to impossible that General Canterac can withstand the forces which will be soon acting against him, on three different points. Besides, puLlic opinion in Lima is changing against him, though the people are not pleased with being so often called upon for contributions—as they are told, for the salvaticu of Peru: Bolivar's first act was, to levy a court limbo': of 100,000 dollars, and yesterday he seized all hot ses and mules." " Nov. 1. 1823. 11 Bolivar has been called by the Constitutional Con gress of Peru, and by the Chiefs of the Army (his own words), to the supreme authority, by the title of Libera tor. He is to have the chief military command in all the territories of Pern,`as well as the civil power. He is greatly esteemed and admired by'all.— Santa Cruz has requested an inquiry into his conduct, respecting his recent defeat. General Milka- is appointed to - the chief command of the Peruvian Army ; he is greatly esteemed for his valour and military talent. Tats ap t pointment has met the general approbiLion, and re-esta blished much confidence. '1 he Spaniards have about 12,000 men in Upper Peru ; the Patriots expect to bring into the field about eighteen thousand. Tho-e f: on) Lima will not be ready to march in less than seven or eight weeks.—Between this and Pisco there are 6,000 Colombians, 1,000 Chi lians and 1,800 Buenos A yreanc. Two thousand five hundred Chilians sailed from Val paraiso for Pisco on the 15th October, and are, no doubt, arrived ere this. The Chilian at'my is to be com manded by General Pintos. Santa Crut is yet at Mo quigna, with 1900 Peruvians. Riva Aguero, the. Ex- President,tas acknowledged Bolivar's authority : he is at Truxilto, with 3000 men. Three thousand are to come here from Colombia : they ate to embark at Pa mama ;- and these arc not included in the above-stated 18,000. EVen Santa Cruz speaks highly of General Miller.. We hear that the Commissioners have arrived at Buenos Ayres; but Bolivar says, that he shall con• tinue the preparations for war, but hopes that matters . may be settled without further bloodshed. The public Tieasury of the Patriots is very destitute. Bolivar, or .he Congress, has laid a tax, on house property ; owners pay oite•fourth of rent-100,000 dollars a month raised this way—to be in force four months from the date of its operation. The Government is continually borrow ing money of British merchants, which they rather ex pect to lose."—Hampshire Telegraph. , THE EVENING S'l'Alt. LONDON. MONDAY, MARCH 22, 1824.. THE FUNDS.

On the subject of the Poor Rates much has been writ= ten by our political economists, and in the columns of the STAR it has at different times received attention; but still the evil presses upon society, and on every re currence of an advance in the price of the necessaries of life, the burthen threatens to become more intolerable than ever; though, unqutstionably, the load might, by the adoption of judicious means, be much lightened, if not entirely removed. Our attention has been more particulerly called to this topic, at the present time, by a Plan, propoied by Mr. JOHN HALL,for the "Mention of the present Poor Rates and for the moral improvement of the lower daises of Society, which has been laid be fore the Secretary of State for the Home Department, accompanied by a letter from the well know n philan thropist, WILLIAM ALLEN, of the Society of Friends. The plan merits the consideration of the Public, and it cannot but gratify many of our Readers to have its leading features laid before them. It is not new in all its parts, nor is it offered by Mr. HALL as such. This, however, takes not from its merits. On the contrary, the more evidence that can be adduced of the beneficial practical application of any of its details, the greater its value. It is pretty generally allowed that ever since the esta blishment of the Poor Laws, in the reign of Queen ELI ZABETH, Crime and Pauperism have gone on increasing; nor could it be otberways, under such a system : for in principle, and by the general mode of management, they hold out premiums for pauperism, invitations to candidates, and inducements to appear poor. Respecting those denominated the " Casual Poor," Mr. HALL instances one parish in which regulations were instituted for " inquiring into the real wants of the indivi duals demanding relief, and for visiting personally their declared places of residence, when such a mass of fraud, falsehood, and imposition was made manifest, that the amount of payments to this class of individuals was re duced From upwards of one hundred pounds per week, to less than twenty pounds ! Many of the applicants proved to be the wives of respectable artisans, who were entirely ignorant . of their applications : many, having liven false directions, were not to be found at all : others obtained their livelihood, by pretending partial poverty, at five or six different Boards held for the relief of the poor, in as many of the surrounding parishes: with many other instances of deception too numerous to rel 4te." " I am sorry [he continues, speaking from practical experience, as Chairman of a Selest Vestry in the country] that justice com pels me to add, that the incitements to trick and chicanery I have witnessed have not been confined to the Lower Classes, but have been, and are, acted upon with all the logical subtlety education can supply, to shift the burtben of maintenance from the estate of one Gentleman to that of another, in a neighbouring, or sometimes distant pariah! " Legal aid is also frequently resorted to, and more money spent 'in each side, Ia litigating the settlement of a pauper, than he of she, perhaps, ever lives to require in relief. " Ali the practices of their superiors, in the country, form the conversation, and Consequently become the guide of conduct of the inferior classes! " Ilence if a village possesses two or three, or more mansions and private houses,• the farmers take care to keep the wages of their agricultural labourers as low as possible, that the deficiency being made up out of the Poor Rates, part of the expense of cultivating their farms any be thrown upon the renting Gentry occupying these private resideneesa practice winked at by the Land-owners, who, ' if themselves are resident, generally possess influence sufficient to keep their own charge low. " On the other hand, where the charge of the poor falls pretty mucliupon the farms, we see the Gentry, in their capacity as Magis trates (as in Somersetshire), issuing their authority for throwing the nfortunate unemployed labourer and his endeared wife and chil dren rtifally upon the mercy of their rack-renting tenantry, by pub ' T..hing a bill of fare, declaratory, that if it can be proved that the 1 poor fellow earns sufficient to procure bread and water for his fa . tufty, no Intel for further relief gull einauate from theca. " This may be considered as a sort of natural result; for as the major part of the acting Magistracy in the County are airgypen"; and the warfare kept up with their parishioners about tithes having occasioned them to be pretty smartly charged to the Poor Rates, they, in their turn, second the views of the Land-owners from mo tives of 'self-preservation. u In cities and great towns, we see that many respettable who in their common avocations would shrink at the bare idea at being thOught capable of a dishonOurable action, will, in their capi city as Parochial Officers, offer a shilling to a casual pauper as an inducement to go, the following night, into an adjoining parish to sleep; that the trouble and expenie of proving a settlement may be removed from their own ; and will even condescend to describe the boundaries of their parish, that the poor wretch may know how far he or she has to , go to earn the miserable wages with which many— too many, alas !—have been those of death ! " So well aware are the pour of the prevailing feeling of Parish Officers being to shuffle off the burthen of maintenance from their own parish, by almost any means, that many instances occur pf private applications from parishioners of one parish, but living in another, for an allowance, :kb rosd, for six weeks, or two Months, or more, to enable them to pay their lodgings for the time requisite by law to create a settlement In the parish where they reside.— Thus do the present Puor Laws create a demoralizing incitement to rich and poor !" • The aim , of the author is, by judicious regulations, to make the paupers contribute to their own maintenance; and it does apper, from the printed accounts of Receipts and Expenditure for the Parish of Mary-la-bonne, that efficient labour can be done by the paupers. In the year 1822, -the work done by the paupers in that parish amounted to £1,981 12s. 2d. " In that work,however, whiclris effected in Workhouses, gene rally, the productive part in pounds, shillings,and pence, forms bu t • a small portion of the labour performed; as the greater number of persons are still employed in beating up old junk to make oakum ; pounding oyster shells, and such like employments as have ever been, its our Prisons and Bridewells, the occupation of vagrants as a punishinent ; and, in consequence, cannot but be viewed by the performers of the labour, with feelings of degradation. This is not right !—For although humility and every modest feeling should be deeply encouraged, everything tending to degrade ltu.man nature should be strictly and uniformly avoided. " The fact of the existence of a large portion of applicable labour being satisfactorily proved, it becomes a matter of serious consider ation and importance, how the whole, including that now lost or misapplied by the present system, may he so directed, as at once to become beneficial to the Country and the performers of it; and at the same time that a profitable application of this labour is ef fected under skilful direction and superintendance, the cost of the foss of greater part, by the compulsory making up of wages from the Poor Rates, may be done away, never again to return. g , This may be effected by horticultbre applied to land upon a large scale ; or what is commonly termed" garden farming:" that' is; not gardening, but farm cultivation managed by manual labour and spade husbandry, and which, from the excessive crops it pro duces in comparison with horse and plough culture, and the clean ness of the land, from the quantity of labour employed, assimilating its appearance to a garden, occasions this method of cultivation to. be termed " garden farming." A That much is to be effected upon land under judicious arrange meat, is fully vouched for by numerous experiments . made by indi viduals, by which it has been made apparent, that six persons can be provided for by the produce of a single acre. " The late Sir William Pulteney late, a remarkable corrobora tive instance of an acre and a sixteenth of land, granted by Lady Malpas, from Pulley Common, two miles and a half from Shrews bury, to a man named Richard Mil'ward,' and which, being cul tivated by his wife' Jane,' was made to produce sufficient for the -support of ber husband, who was tt labourer in the Collieries, her self, and six children,—five boys and a girle-4aesides Whom they buried five! • " The soil of this land was three or four inches of strong loam, over a clay impregnated with iron, and called in that country Cat brain,'—a soil considered the very worst in the neighbourhood! Yet did this woman, by collecting all her house and other offal,for the manuring of her land, confirm the remark of that veteran agri culturist, Sir John Sinclair, (who has said, that any soil may be rendered rich by proper treatment and manure,') make her little estate considerably more productive than the best farm land in her vicinity." " Another instance is to be found in Thomas Robinson, of Head ingly, near Leeds, who at this time (January, 1824), is seventy , years of age, and makes, by cultivating it with his own hand, half an acre of land, to use his own words,' bring in everything neces sary for his family of three persons !' " If the cultivation of land be merely spoken of for the reduction of Poor Rates the idea, it is allowed, is not new. "In Kent, the parisir of Benenden had a farm which was cultivated by hired labourers with a team of four horses ; the extent was 86 acres : and after paying all their expenses, there was carried to the aid of the parish, £2,00 per annum. "The pat ish of Cranbrook, being very much burthened with. Poor Rates, took a farm of 499 acres, at a rent of £448, and had it cultivated in the common method, which, speaking generally of the'County of Kent, is a ver*slovenly method, and the result was a profit suf ficient to reduce the rates of the parish six shillings in the pound. They have seen out one twenty-one years lease, and have taken another for a similar term ! s i The novelty of the plan, suggested by Mr. HALL, is " the application of the labour to all the improved sys• tems of agriculture, for the support of all the present pauper population, and at the same time that this object is effected, so arranging the employments of these people, as to 'produce an improvement in their habits ; tendering them those of industry and morality; and this too, by the best of all possible inducements, an inward self•conviction of its propriety: of its. being the very best thing they can do ; that injuring no one, and benefitting many, they shall in sure comforts, both•here and hereafter, to themselves and children, without an obligation existing to make the hum - an mind sensible of debasement!" The length to which this subject necessarily extends itself, prevents our going more into detail in this day's STAR; but, viewing it as one of great importance, we shall take an early opportunity of resuming it. . Hamburgh Papers. to the 16th instant, and Dutch Journals four days later, reached us this forenoon: Ac counts from St. Petersburgh confirm the statement in' the PAtis Journals, of the recovery of the Emperor of Russia. It is stated, in an article from Leipsie, that trade is in a state of great stagnation there, but it is ex pected to be revived by a law just published, which considerably reduces the mercantile duties, and give) particular facilities to the transit trade. The following are extracts: ST. PETERSBURGH, *ARCH 2. The day before yesterday we h , ad the happiness of again seeing our beloved Emperor in public. Hi s Majesty, who has entirely recovered from his slight in. disposition, took a promenade through son e of the principal streets of the capital. • His Highness the Gtand Doke Constantine set out today to returrs.to Warsaw.. . Vice-Admirals Scbischkow and Crown, are promoted :to the rank of Admirals. It is said that several of the Governments of the in: terior of the Empire, will undergo a reform in thei r actual organisation. Counsellor Schroeder, *ho, by his judgment and zeal, has succeeded in greatly im. proving the condition of Orell, of which he is civil de. vernor, has already received directions to organize th e Government of Casan'in the same manner: Files of American Nets have arrived, to the 25 . ,h . February, from which we make the following extracts : FROM THE BOSTOp PATRIOT, FEBRUARY 20. CALCUTTA.—The inundations in the Upper Provinces have done very great damage, paiticulariy to indigo, one of the safest indigo districts ha, been completely ruined. The cholera morbus was raging with violcn:e in some parts of India. SEPTEMBER Io.—We have received letters from the Upper Provinces mentioning that the heavy rains have flooded the rivers. Several hundred villages have been inundated. Letters from Nuddea give the mo•t Lament. I►ble accounts of the effects of the late inundations. FROM THF RICHMOND PAPER, FEBRUARY FROM St. THOMAS. - St. Thomas' Papers of the IGth of January, mention that a letter from B.irbadoes announces the arrival there of two seventy-four gun ships from England A Fiend} squadron hld been spoken with on their uay to the West Indies. A con siderable number of French troops are said to have ar rived at Martinique, ftom France. We understand that the Honourable James Brown, Minister to France, who is on the eve of sailing in the United States ship, cayenne, fer France, is tie bearer of a letter from the President to General Lafayette, inviting him to nisi! the United States. We regret to remark the con tinuance of an unusual degree of mortal ty in the city of Philadelphia. The number of deaths last week was one hundred and forty-two. FROM .THE BALTIMORE PATRIOT, FEBRUARY 19. ' HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, FEBRUARY 16. " Resolved, that the Committee of Ways and Means , be directed to inquire into the expediency of allowing tfie benefit of drawback on all goods, wares, and mer ihandie, imported into either of the ports of New York, Philadelphia, - or Baltimore, and transported from any one of the said ports to either of the other." • REVISION Or TOE TAniFr.—The House again went into a Committee of the whole, Mr. Condict_ in the Chair, on the Bill to . amend the several Acts respecting duties on imports. • t The last accdunts from Mexico bring the particulars of a rather serious commotion which took place there towards the latter end of January. The tumult arose from the struggles of partici claiming or anxious :o retain power only, for •it is remarkable that, amid this strife of rival fictionh there is not heard a 'mur mur from any quarter of a wish to re-subject the country to Spanish dominion. It appears that General SAN rANA and General LOBATO had assembled some troops, and insisted on the resignation of MICE-IEI,INA and DoxitN GUEZ, two of the three to whom the executive power was entrusted. LOEATO issued a proclamation, in which he stated, that the Spaniards who were employed in the chief posts of the State, were exerting themselves to establish a shameful slavery. Government disco - vering symptoms of insubordination in this General, in- , tended to resist him on the night he issued the pro clamation, but he was-apprised of it, and assembled all his troops in the barracks, from whence he gave notice to Congress that he would immediately quit Mexico, at the head of his regiment, if they did not dismiss and send out of the country MICHEI4NA and Dossmtmx, together with all the old Spaniards, and such public officers whose sentiments were known to be inin.ical to the cause of independence. At first, Congress replied with energy, and insisted on hie surrendering his arms ; but as he was firm, they began to treat with him. On the Roth, the Generals and Commandants in chief of the corps in quarters at Mexico, met to decide on the intimation made by the Sovereign Congress to lay down their arms, and submit to the exiting Executive Power, on the understanding that the Spaniards would be rc moved/These Officers came to the foaon- ing resolutions : "• 1. That they will not lay down their arms till the Sovereign Constituent Congress place the executive power in the hands of Americans of known patriotic sentiments. • " 2. That all European Spaniards in general, arid all Americans little attached to the system of liberty, be deprived of their employ means till the Spanish nation desists from its hostile pretensions against the free States of America, and recognize their independence. " 3. That till the foregoing articles are agreed to, the Re: reseu tative Assembly shall guarantee their personal security; and if it does not do so in the proper time, they shall leave the carnal :o oc cupy the points which the General-in-Chief, Citizen Jose Marra Lobato, shall think proper to fix upon." This paper is signed by the Officers whose qualities are alluded to at its commencement. MICUELINA and MIGUEL Domi-NGUEZ immetEately issued a Proclamation, stating that.Lonnro had abused the trust reposed' in him, and that the Sove - reign Con gress would not notice the representation he had made until he laid down his arms. The soldiers became cla morous for the arrears of their pay. From the 23d to the 27th disturbances continued, when, by the resolute- • measures taken by Congress and The Executive Power, an end was put to them without bloodshed ; on the 27th * vile of the ringleaders was shot, in pursuance Qf his seto \ lit -.. • ~: 4' D if CTIIII from GI ( reposi span s maji t3d ii be we tete' with then 13 , '9Olll :• , the 1 whet that - whe an a P 3 134 Min and Nal Brit V 100 the Sig to 11. wii sa Ire Cst to ht A
