but before I speak of our happy restoration on this day, I will say something of the dreadful acts of violence which took place in RecAe. Many houses were broken open with axes. and those inmates were happy who were able to get away. The most dreadful robberies ensued ; indeed the troops had lost all corium]. It was a most afflicting scene, and many lives were lost. Had they claret, they would have set fire to the whole town, and probably massacred the inhabitants, for they seemed to have no other object in view than plunder and mis chief. They were, however, restrained by the activity of the Imperialists, who, although they could not im mediately get to Recife, in consequence of the bridge being de-aroyed. yet it was evident they could not long be kept nut. The Custom-house was nearly destroyed, and the house of an Englishman met with that fate. Some spirited Englishmen, seeing the dreadful state in which the inhabitants of Recife were placed, passed over by water to the Imperial Gene' al, Lime, and explained to him the real state of things. The attack was then made on a combined plan, and a force landed from the ships. Carvalho's partisans soon fled, leaving the forti fications of Recife and Olinda in the hands of the Im perialists. The joy that succeeded among the peace able inhabitants, who had long been the victims of a disorderly soldiery, and a band of demagogues, you cannot easily imagine."• The following are extracts from private letters : "PERN:IIIBUCO, SEPT. 111. _ _ 4, I have at length the satisfaction of announcing the fall of Manuel de Carvalho, and the entry of the Rio troops into this place. Many outrages have been com mitted. On Sunday the 12th, the Rio troops made their appea►an,ce at the Affogados, and, after some little fighting, took possession of Boa Vista, Santa Antonio, and everything as far as the Receiffe bridge. In the meantime, Carvalho's party had retreated into the Re ceiffe, and had cot down the bridge; thus lons Bruno and Buraco, and the Receiffe, were on Monday morning in possession of Carvalho's party; Boa Vista, Santo Antonio, and everything else, in that of the Emperor. The forts kept up a constant fire on the Boa Vista, and much injury was done. " Thursday night, the 16th instant, Captain Norton, of the Netheroy frigate, attacked the Receiffe with 300 English sailors, aod took it, as well as the forts, &c. Carvalho has taken refuge on board the Brazen frigate, and Captain Willis refuses to give him up. The re mainder of his partisans have fled in various directions, and will never be able to make head again. The troops from Rio behaved extremely well, and not a single out rage was committed by them; but, in the interval be tween the entry of the Emperor's troops into Boa Vista and the capture of the Receiffe, many robberies were committed by Carvalho's party." " Seer. 20.—1 have at length the pleasure of in forming you, that the Emperor is once more in posses sion of this place. The troops from the southward, under the command of General Lima, marched into Boa Vista and San Antpnia (which are only separated from the Receiffe by a bridge), on the 12th instant, and the Recede was stormed on the morning of the 17th, by about 600 British seamen belonging to the Emperor's fleet, under the command of. Captain Norton, of the Nether oy frigate, who volunteered his services on the preset occasion. These, seconded by some of General Lima's troops, succeeded in taking possession of the town and forts with trifling loss, as Carvalho's troops fled after discharging their muskets. " A smart engagement took place on the 13th, be tween some of General Lima's troops and a division of Carvalho's, commanded by Ferrand, who attempted to force their way into the town, but were driven back with the loss of 30 killed, 80 wounded, and 52 priso ners. Lima had 20 killed and 30 wounded. 66 Carvalho has taken refuge on board his Majesty's ship Tweed, and Captain Willis, of the Brazen (who is' commanding offices ), has refused to give him up. It is generally believed, that Carvalho is going passenger in the said ship to England, which is to sail to-day. 44 The imperial troops deserve great praise for the, moderation they have manifested since they entered the town. Everything is perfectly quiet, and, I trust, ere many days expire, I shall have it in my power to advise you of business having resumed its wonted activity. " The Government is, for the present, to be a military one, 11 Ilith is certainly best calculated just now to pre serve the tranquillity of the province. • The Ex•PiesiOent's forcer are in full retreat from Guiana, committing the most dreadful ravages and plundering everything that comes in their way. None of their superior offices s have yet been taken." " SEPTEMBER 1.-A partial bombardment was made by Lord Cochrane upon the city on the night of the 27th tilt. since when no other attack has been at tempted. At present, the inhabitants are occupied in defending their houses and property. Business is at a complete stand, and, I fear, will not recommence for some time to come." " SEPTEMBER 18.—I am happy now to inform you, that the li , nperial troops took possession of this city and the fors early yesterday morning. The attack was a combined one from the fleet and army : the latter had possession of St. Antonia and Boa Vista so far back as Sunday la , t : but General Lima, not thinking himself in sufficient force, delayed attacking the R. •ceiffe, which is much to be lamented, as Carvalho's troops had three or four nights of plunder. I much regret to say, one English hou,e has suffered severely, having been phut dried of seseral thousand pounds in goodi, &c. Our Ex-President made his escape on board the Tweed sloop of war. Some time must 'elapse e. e business re. turns to its timid course." TUE EVENINIi NTA R. LON DON. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1824. POWDZIII PILOTr4IOII.IIIII4T Mr TYE BANC. THE FUNDS. STOCK RKCIIA NG 8.

Private letters from Paris, of Wednesday, state that the Reines were on that d•ty 102... 45c. for motley, and 102 f. titic. for account. It was reported in the City this morning, that letters had been received from Guayaquil, stating that BOLIVAR has been defeated. The notoriously fabricated letter from Guayaquil, which two Evening Papers published some weeks ago, naturally excites suspicion as to intel ligence from that quarter; although the pretended let ter was, no doubt, fabricated here for the purpose of operating on the Foreign Futds. . - We stated yesterday, that the Agnes, Captain STRIP LING, had arrived at Liverpool, bringing an official account of the fall of Pernambuco. This place, it ap pears, was occupied by the Imperial forces ow the 17th of September. The President of this would-be Republic, Citavattro, was taken on board an English vessel, and has arrived in town ; he appears to have had very few partizans. In another page we have given, from private letters, an account of the operations against the place, and we now subjoin two other documents relating to the sub ject. The compliment to Capt. TAILOR will be parti cularly gratifying to his friends, after the statement (erroneous we believe) that he had been dismissed the Brazilian service on the demand of the British Go vernment : The following is an extract of a letter from Captain JAMES NORTON, Commander of the Imperial Brazil brig of war Netheroy, to a friend in London, dated Pernambuco, Sept. 20: " I was appointed to the Netheroy (Captain Taylor be- ing disembarked) en the 20,h of August: we sailed from Rio de Janeiro under the command of C •mmo. dote Jewett, to join Lord Cochrane, off Pernambuco, and on our arrival found his Lordship had summoned the place, and bombarded it on refusing to surrender. Two days after our arrival, General Lima entered Santo An tonio and Boa Vista, driving the Petnambucanos into the Receiffe. The Pernambucanos took the precaution to break down the bridge, so that the linperialists could not follow up their success. I repaired on board the Commodore, and pointed out to him ill' neces-ity of moving the ships in, so that we could oct against the forts, to which he consented. I immediatei) pushed the Netheroy in, and commenced firing on the forts : and next came the Piranga, at a little distance outside of us, and opened her fire, which was kept up till sunset.— Next day we began again, and on closing, our firing, a letter was sent on board from Manoel Carvalho, the purport of which was offering the following terms : I. That he and his friends should be allowed to de part unmolested, he paying their passage. 6 2. That no one should be prosecuted for his poli tical opinion.. 4 3. That the Officers and troops should retain their commissions, until the Emperor's pleasure was known.' 44 This letter was for%%arded to General Lima, who would not listen to it, and at last it was deckled that I should land with the Officers, seamen, and marines, and storm the Recife and forts; which I am happy to say we did, and opened the bridge to the Imperial troops, and we were entire masters of the Recife and forts in less than four hours. " Manoel Carvalho has taken refuge on board the Tweed, English man of war ; we have demanded him, but they would not give him up ; but still we think they will, or send him to Rio de Janeiro for the decision of the British Admiral. General Barros and the principals are not yet taken. " I hope you will be able to make out this confused account; but I have not a minute to spare to make a fair copy, as the boat is now waiting for this letter." The British merchants resident at Pernambuco pre sented the following address to Commodore Taylor: " PEILNAIIICCO, JULY 1, 1824. " SlR—The blockade of this port, by the Imperial squadron under your command, having terminated, it becomes our duty to express our high sense of your unremitting attention to British interests during its con tinuance, so far as was compatible with the strict line of your duty, and the due performance of the particular service intrusted to you by his Imperial Majesty. " During the recent contest, our losses and sufferings have been much alleviated by the friendly feeling you have always evinced towards us ; and your kindness has been equally marked to our vessels riding in the Bay, during a winter of unusual severity. " Acccept, Sir, our hearty thanks for all your kind ness, and our sincere wishes for your future health and welfare.—We leave the honour to be, Sir, your much obliged and most humble servants, (Signed by all the British Merchants).

Mout en Vert, hail ! • With thee I can emaciate still; And, should all other pleasures fail, I'll stretch me by the murm'ring rill, Or into solitude I'll By, And commune with the DIM? ! Far from the pride awl scorn of Man, The worthless objects of their care, The works of Nature I can scan, And sometimes bold, yet fearful, slam Express those feelings kindly given By the benevolence of HEAVU! Alone I come ! alone I go ! Alike unnoticed and unknown! Prated by a weight of lasting woe, From East to West by tempest blown; No rest ! no peace ! until I fly From Time into Eternity ! Yet why? Yet why should I complain, Are not some other joys my own ? Joys which the multitude disdain, To duller, happier souls unknown! tes, t will bravely dare my lot Until I die and be forgot ! No need to add my humble name, Meer mentioned yet by babbling Fame; Few will demand to whom belong These transports of a Child of Song, One who would wish, with Poet's fire, And daring hand to sweep the Lyre !

DEATH OF THE lair. litß. 111.1[11121.V. Died, Saturday evening, after a protracted illness, 0 ; ., Rev. R.C. Maturin, M.A. Curate of St. Peter's. I n hi m the poor have lost a kind fi lend, our religion a firm sup . porter, and literature one of its brightett ornaments. A : a preacher, Mr.Maturin was highly esteemed ; his sermr.r; were masterly compositions ; his reasoning incontr 0 y et . tible, and his language the most calculated to subdue heart, and to demand attention. His six Cuntrosers;ai Sermons, preached during last Lent, have been lately printed, and are now before the public.

CIIAXIBERS and Son, is by no meai is likely to be so extensive or ruinous in its consequences, as from the general confidence reposed in the firm we might • have anticipated. As we yesterday suggested, the principal cause of the failure is to be attlibuted to the consternation created by the recent exposures ot the Berner's-street Bink, and the malignant elf", ts of some private enemies of Messrs. Cum-tunas. who have f or some time past been most indu.stliou•ly engaged in spreading alarming reports relative to the solvency of the house, and writing anonymous letters to many of those who were known to keep accounts there.— For the last three weeks the run lion the house has been excessive, consequently a great portion of the de mands is already paid in full, and we hear from very good authority, there is-.every nrobability of all the claimants being eventually - tati,bed. It would be im possible to pourtray the terror and suspicion this event has created Westward, or anticipate the dangerous con sequences it may be of to otheri. Yesterday displayed the character of the Public fully in respect to excite ment, and shewed how easily the good people of Eng land are worked on. As soon as banking hours com menced, the run upon some of the most respectable houses westward of Temple-bar, was very great, and continued the whole of the day, from the fears of the parties, arising out of the already declared defalcations THE CQLU IVIBUS. This ship, respecting which so general a feeling of public curiosity has been excited since her arrival off the British shores, from the prevalence of strong winds is direct opposition to her course, has been prevented yet entering the Thames, although a general expectation Was entertained on Wednesday, that with the assistance of the two steam vessels which had her in tow she would have reached Gravesend yesterday. Under this im pression the proprietors of the Swiftsure steam-packet gave rather a short notice, that for the gratification of the public, their vessel would proceed so far down the River as to inspect this extraordinary ship, and re turn to the Tower the same evening. Notwithstanding that this intimation, from the shortness of the no tice. was but imperfectly known, numbers yesterday morning repaired on board the steam-vessel, which, against a strong head tide, proceeded nearly as far as the Nore, with the full expectation on the part of the passengers of having their curiosity gratified.—. Nor was it at all doubted but such would be the case, until the arrival of the Albion steam-vessel from Mar gate, which communicated the somewhat unexpected intelligence that she still remained in the Roads off that place. The proprietor of the Swiftsure (Mr. S. Knight), upon receiving this information, evinced a very laid able feeling to gratify to the fullest extent in his power the wishes of the company ; but as there appeared no probability of the Columbus removing during the pre valence of the strong adverse wind, it was determined to relinquish the object of their trip until she should approach nearer the River. By the kindness of one of the principal owners of this vessel we have been favoured with the following particulars :—He left the Columbus yesterday, in Mar gate Roads, where it was intended she ilkauld remain until the wind moderated, or until Saturday, when they would have_the advantage of a spring tide to bring her over the Flats, with the assistance of the two steam vessels in attendance, the James Watt and Soho. —She was perfectly free from water in her hold, and a number of extra bands were on board, should their services be required, although the Officers speak in the highest terms of the facility with which she was ma naged by the ordinary mode of navigating ships of the usual construction. We learn from the same authority, that from the time of her making the Scilly Lights,. until her anchoring in the Downs, she sailed before the wind at the rate of eight knots and a half per hour.— Captains Dalrymple and Manning, together with many Naval Officers of distinction, have visited her, and some remained on board while proceeding round Foreland. So general is the curiosity respecting this vessel, that not a ship or small craft passes without nearing as close as possible, in order to obtain an im perfect view of her construction, and they then te•tity their approbation by repeated cheers. About fifty ves sels remain in Margate Roads windbound. Tut GENTLEMEN OF THE BAR.—The other cf.; V, while the case of one of the persons who were tried for perjury in the Old Bailey was going forward, Mr. PRENDERGA•T, a Counsel, said in a conversational tone to some other Counsel at the table," Well, this is a most scandalous prosecution." Mr. Azotenus, who was engaged in the case, immediately turned round to his Learned Brother and said these words, or words to this effect—" No Gentleman would make such an observa tion, but you may make it. You have no claim to the character.' Mr. PIitNDIROAST, addressing himself to Mr. Anotrues, then said distinctly, and in a tone which comprehended a large circk of Coun sel, attornies, visitors, and Aldermen—" You are a black guard! You are a blackguard!! You are a blackguard!!!—qtr. A DOLPHUS sat down without making any observation upon this very unexpected reply to his conspheientary censure. The Common Serjeant was busily engaged at the time in arranging his notes, and it is matter of uncertainty, whether he heard the very elegant dia logue between his Learned Brethren at all events, he took no notice of it; but whether from dignity or deafness, as we before illstitriated, we know not.—Times.
