nation is, and always shall be, the Catholic Apostolic Roman religion. The nation protects it by just and wise laws, and prohibits the carom of every other." CHILI. ISITRACT OF A LICTTIR PROM VALPARAISO, 23D SOT. 1824. " The , subjects most interesting to you from this country are the indepehdeoce of the Governments, and the Loans which have been contracted for them in London. With regard to the former, it has always been my opinion that the Colonies are for ever lost to Spain ; but the establishment of Govetaments, free and independent', has been much retarded-by the bad con duct of men in power, who sacrificed the public good to their private interest; and being released from the oppression of OW Spain, knew not how to govern them selves; they had many prejudices to overcome, and idle habits to reform. The heads of the Governments are becoming more enlightened, and the people, by their intercourse with foreigners, make great progress towards civilization. Since I have been here they have had three Revolutions, and as many new Constitutions, but always without bloodshed. The Liberal Party has now the ascendancy, and many acts of the Government shew the desire they have to improve the state of the country. A free exercise of religion has been granted to all foreigners, and they are allowed to build Churches. A foreigner may take out p patent of citizenship, but then he becomes liable to contributions, and to serve in the militia, and some other public offices. " Since Lord Cochrane left them, their navy has been going to decay ; they have expended a great sum of money on old ships, without having an enemy to oppose them ; and now the Asia and Achilles ate on the coast, and two frigates expected, they have not a ship ready for sea. To shew their good faith with re gard to the Loan raised in London, they have, much to their credit, taken measures for the payment of it. A Company of Merchants have contracted for the pay ment of 300,000 dollars for interest, and .50,000 dol lars for the Sinking Fund, to redeem the capital, an nually ; and in return, the Government give them the sole privilege to sell tobacco, tea, foreign wines and spirits, and playing cards. The system of monopolising any article is tent good. A duty on the articles ought to produce the same money, and leave it open to com petition; however, let them try, and if it will not answer, they must alter it. " They s. ill increase _their revenue by means of a Property Tax, and they are about to adopt the system of Buenos Ayres, and confiscate part of the Church property, which is immense. The Friars will be put on half-pay, and no idlers hereafter be admitted. This will enable them to reduce the ditties on goods im ported, and prevent smugglislg." THE EVENING STAR.

The amount of4the Customs Revenue; for the Year ending the sth of January. DM, was £10,418,000; that of the Quarter ending to-day will ,be about £10,250,000, leaving an apparent deficiency of about £160,000; but if we take into account the repayment of the Silk Duties, £450,000, and the remission of the repealed Du tie. on Wool. Silk, Coals, &c. to the amount of about £700,000 durirg the year, it wine seen that the in crease of the Customs alone, for the Year ending this • day, presents an increase of nearly a million over that of last year. The Revenue of the Customs for the Quarter ending sth January, 1824, was £2,854,205 ; the produce of the Quarter ending to-day, will be about 0,820,000 ; exhibiting a deficiency (from the causes we have stated) of about 0.5,000 on the Quarter. In the Excise, the returns will be found still more flourishing ; and we believe we do not over estimate the increase of this important branch cf the Revenue, when we state, that it will exceed that of the corresponding by more than half a million; and the year, over that of 1823, will be tundied thousand pounds. seen, that while taxes are repealed and the amount,trr.nearly a million in the improves frrapidly as not only to , but to yield another million more: more indicative of the real prosperity of agricultural, and manufacturing in. country, or of the sound policy of his Ministers, than the fickgishing state and if it continues this 19 increase, , enabled to foUow up their preceding ye by the repeal of others. r c which proves -the of the • ambler classes of society, and this is, that lb* increase of the Revenue is geoltally hi articles almost essential to their time: 11ley wilt re ceive an additional benefit in the repeal of the remain ing portion of the duty on salt, which ceases, this day. We yesterday stated, that the British Cabinet had come to the resolution of formally acknowledging the independence of the Republics of Mexico, Colombia, and Buenos Ayres. This resolution was adopted at the Cabinet Council held on Friday last, when it was agreed that the three Republics above-named were in a sufficiently settled state, and their respective Govern ments, sufficiently organized to be admitted into the great family of Nationi. Commercial treaties will conse quently be immediately entered into with these States. It is understood that the overwhelming arguments , advanced by the two great leaders in Parliament in the Cabinet, backed, as it must have been, by the known liberal and humane wishes of hisMAJESTY for the happiness of 17,000,000 of oppressed people, as well as a due regard for the interests of his own empire, were suf ficient to decide this great stroke of British policy—so important to the naval and commercial interests of this country. We understand that the Cabinet was una nimous on this question; and that those Members who at a former period advised delay, now felt that the , time was come when the recognition of the independ- ence of the three States of Colombia, Mexico, and Buenos Ayres, ought to be nn longer delayed. Accounts of an unfavourable nature are said to have been received from the East Indies, via Bourdeaux. It is even reported that the Burmese had gained some advantages, and were within a few leagues of CAlcutta. Dispatches were received at the Colonial Office, Dow rling-street, this day, from New South Wales, dated the 14th of August. The c01..n.y was rapidly improving, particularly in agriculture, for which every encouragement is given to free settlers, by Goveinn.enr. -••••16M.-- This forenoon we received the Monitor and Consti. tutionnet of Monday, by ex:sresi.

Their Addre-ses ,nd the KING'S answers occupy a considerable portion of the Malheur. The following is the answer of hi, MAJESTY to Comte de Ss7.t.:, President of the Court ot C.t,sation:— " MONSIEUR-1 am vet y sensible ci the sentiments you express, in the name of the first C, , iiit in my kingdom. I calculate on your devotion, in . seconding all the efforts I shall make to render France happy. You are right, Monsieur, in saying that legitimacy is the surest gua. , rantee of the public good ; but I must add, that the magi,tracy has always been, and always will be, the firmest support of legitimacy. " Continue, Gentlemen, to administer justice with the same impartiality, discharge all your duties with the same vigilance, and I shall not be unmindful of the zeal by which you are always distinguished." The bazar in Paris has been destroyed by fire. It', contained several elegant shops, richly furnished, the' whole of which were destr.'yed, together with the build ing. Several merchants, who had money iii their to spective offices, have recovered it, but in a state of fusion ; jewels of all scuts were found, mixed with the rubbish. The famous serpent Boa, eighteen feet long. which was exhibited in a room in the bazar, perislie. in the flames, as well as other leptiles, but happily human lives were lost. The _Emperor of RUSSIA ha; addressed a receipt to the Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs, charging him to exercise the most rigorous surveillance over all publica tions that touch on religion or public instruction, in or der to prevent any from being published that h.tve not received the sanction of the Synod. These Papers contain accounts fiom Madrid of the 20th ult. Lists have been made by the twenty-twi' different Chiefs of the Captaincy-General of the Pl vince, of the military charged with offences,their names, the corps to which they belonged, and the Fi,cal bent e whom they have been examined. It is not known what is the object of preparing these lists; but it is said to be thought to relate to as act of clemency on the part of the KIND. The Trappist is said to have exchanged his sword for the crozier, and is travelling through the country, preaching union, conciliation, and mutual pardon. It is thought he has been employed by Government for that purpose. A letter in the Constantiennel, however, gives another version of his conduct. General Sir Jolts DowNin is at Cadiz, as Inspector-, General for organizing a corps of Royalist Vo lunteers in Andalusia. Accounts from Carthagena state, that several persons who had been in the prisons there for political offences, have been discharged. Among them was the Prince Pto. A great alarm appears to have been excited on the coast of Catalonia by the landiagpf a few smugglers, to take in water. It was reported that a body of Consti tutionalists had landed, and the military in Barcelona were put in motion to oppose them, when the mistake was discovered. The following is an extract from the Constitution net of Monday : PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. MADISID, Decorate in. " General Bassecourt, as you have seen, publibhed a Proclama tion at Valencia, in which he announced a landing of two hundred Constitutionalism. Government ordered him to depart immediately for the coast, with a considerable force, consisting of live Regiments of the line. General Basemen was deceived, and the debarkation was only a body of smugglers, who landed to obtain water; but I - can auvre you, some more fresh troops have been put in move ment for the coast, and others are going foethe same destination. The number of vessels which have been seen on the coot, at dif ferent points, are seventeen, all having troops on board to land. —The rumour prevails that the Constitutionalists are organising at Tangiers d considerable expeditions but the above report must be .41 Militia under the name of Royal Volunteers.

Yesterday a Public Meeting was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, to take into consideration the means of preserving the •iew of St. Bride's Church, in Fleer-street, which has been accidentally opened by the recent fire. The LORD MAYOR took the Chair at two o'clock.— The object of the Meeting was, he said, to ascertain how far the Public would be inclined to support and carry into effect a plan for making an opening from Fleet street to St. Bride's Church, so as to exhibit that building to the view of the passengers through that great thoroughfare. The great architect of that building had not contemplated that it would ever be exposed to public view, or he would probably have added some ornaments to render the coup doll more striking. But in its present simple state, the edifice was one of the most beautiful of wbiob the metropolis could boast. It was natural to suppose, that every lover of art would be anxious to see carried into effect a measure which would reflect credit on the metropolis. During the last' 14.0 years, untirthe present moment, it had been im possible to see the spire of the Church (which was one art ;he most beautiful in the kingdom), except from illackliiars-bridge, or some other elevated position.—' Surely it was desirable, even in a national point of view, that foreigners who came to view the beauties of the metropolis, should have an opportunity of beholding such a .monument of the genius of Sir Christopher Wren. It the Meeting felt as he did on the subject, they would cheerfully contribute to raise a fund to carry this national object into effect. A plan of the proposed alterations was tying on the table for the inspection of those who were desirous of examining it. The expense which was likely to accrue from the undertaking was estimated at about 70001. The sum might, to some, appe ir large, but it should be recollected, that such an opportunity of effecting the measure so cheaply would perhaps never occur again.-4,lpplause). - I lis Lordship lien read the Resolutions about to be submitted to the Meeting. T. Vzi.soN, Esq. M.P. expressed his Fleasure at observing that the taste of the country was improving. This had lately been evinced by the ridicule which had been heaped upon certain awkward buildings erected near Westminster Hall, which it had been found neces sary to pull down. It had always been remarked by foreigners, that the people of London possessed few public buildings worthy of admiration. In charitable institutions, for the relief of distress of every descrip tion, England surpassed all nations of the world; and he trusted that she would soon rival any of them in works of art. It was a common saying, that it was an ill wind which blew nobody good ; the truth of which had been exemplified with respect to the subject under discussion. But for the late unfortunate .fire, which all must lament, the public attention would not have been called to the beautiful spite which it was the object of the present meeting to pr event being again bidOen from view. There could not be a fairer opportunity for the esercise of liberality and gourd taste than the present, and under that impression he cordially wished success to the undertaking. The worthy Gentleman concluded by moving the first resolution. " That one of the strongest proofs of the high degree of advance ment in a taste tor the Fine Arts, which the people of England have attained, is to be found in that desire fur the improvement and embellishment of the Metropolis, which so honourably distinguishes the present age." Mr. WILLIAMS seconded the Resolution, which was carried unanimously. W. WILLIAMS, Esq. M.P. observed, that, as an Eng lishman, he felt anxious that his countrymen, who ex- Celled surrounding nations in most other things, should Also rival them in purity of taste in matters of art— (//ear.) During a long and expensive war, it was im possible to direct the national attention to such objects ; but now that peace prevailed, he hoped that English men would thew foreigners that they could cultivate the liberal arts and sciences with as much success as they had wielded arms in the field. He did not think it necessary to trouble the meeting with any further observations ; but was convinced that no man of good taste had passed the spite of St. Bride's sinse it had accidentally been exposed to the public gaze, without wishing that such a beautiful object should be seen by his children's children—(Hear.) He moved the second resolution. " That be view recently opened of the tower and spire of St. Bridt's alurch, by the demolition of several houses in Fleet-street, which had obscured it from the public eight, for upwards of a cen tury. having clearly shown that this building may be made highly conducive to the beauty and ornament of thb Metropolis, and par ticularly when the adjeinitg buildings are made to enter into archi tectural combination with it, as shown in the plan, it appears to this Meeting very desirable, that the view thus obtained should be preserved." Mr. CUTLER seconded it. - - - Mr. S. DIXON thought that the alterations should be made on the most liberal scale, and that the lowest estimate of expense should not be approved of: In his opinion, the Corporate and Public Companies in the City should subscribe towards such a praiseworthy under taking— (Hear). Mr. BLADES expressed a hope that the Public Com panies would act upon the suggestion thrown out by the last speaker, and subscribe liberally towards the work. He moved "That this structure, which, for proportion, symmetry, and gran. deur of effect, is not surpassed, if equalled, by any spire in this country, also possessed die strong claim upon the public attention, that it was designed by ease et the most endneot architects Ragland ever produced, Sir Christopher Wren." Mr. GALLOWAY said, that he was personally cos cerned in two of the houses which had been destroyed ; but he would willingly sacrifice his private interest to promote an improvement which he thought so useful and creditable to the City. He had been accused of not entertaining any strong predilections for the Church, but on the present occasion, it would be seen that he was anxious that it should be exhibited to the Public in the most favourable point of view—(Hear, and a laugh.) Mr. MARRIOTT took credit to himself for having been the first to ptopose the intended improvement. He be lieved that he possessed twice as much property on the scite of the late conflagration ; but, in order that no .uppeclimeot might stand in the way of such a litichiblt • undertaking, he would submit every question his property to the arbitration of an indifferent person, The Resoled= was awn earried4 Mr. SLA DI rose to propose the fourth resolution. epitaph on Sir C.
