In this position, SANTA ANNA demanded the uncondi tional surrender of General BARRA Das. That Ge neral having refused under the expectation of reinforce ments arriving, SANTA ANNA made a general attack ; but his principal efforts were directed against the Fort, more especially as some Spanish vessels were seen in the offing, supposed to be conveying the expected Spanish troops. The fort, after a gallant defence and heavy loss to the Mexicans (they having no cannon, and the fort being defended by four twenty-four pounders) was taken; when General BARRA DAS surrendered, on the terms already stated. It is not the least interesting part of General SANTA ANN A's conduct in these memorable transac tions, that he no sooner had obtained the victory, , than he himself withdrew from the army, which returned to its cantonments: whilst—to prove his con tinued allegiance to the Government—he resumed his station as Governor of the province, to which he had been appointed by the President Gu Ea AEI no—calumniously stated to be the object of his rivalry. 'midis major. majorem In pace repartees, Quiet &dam tante quesivit rnarte--tore A volume containing the Manifesto of her Moot Faith ful Majesty Donna Mauro 11. supported by official let ters and papers of the highest importance, is said to be on the point of being made public. Although we require no new proofs of the justice of her claims, nor of the cruelty exercised towards the people of Portugal, still we shall be glad to hear that all the foreign Cabinets, and their Ministers, as well as every influential Member of Parlia ment in this country, are furnished with a copy of the forthcoming volume. We are glad to perceive that the much condemned system of free trade is making some progress on the the Continent. We give the following instance in an article from Mayence:— MAIENCL Nov. U. We learn that the Coundlior of State, Bourcound, Commies'= of the Netherlands for the navigation of the Rhine. will be Consul in this city. Our city, situated at the conflux of the Maine, the Middle and Upper Rhine, not far from the mouth of the Necker. possesses a spacious free port, and large magazines in it; is es• tremely well adapted to be a principal depot for the commerce of the Netherlands, whence the countries on the Upper Rhine, the south of Germany, Switzerland, dm. may be speedily supplied with all the goods that they have been used to, received from Holland ; and likewise, all the produce of those countries may be most conveniently sent as return cargoes for Holland. For the facility of commerce in general it is much to be wished that such a depot were established in Mayan*, which in many respects is a natural staple place. Our Government, which is well aware of what is really advantageous to trade and manufactures, will undoubtedly favour an undertaking for the execution of which Dutch agents al ready come hither to obtain the necessary information on the spot. In the address of thanks of our Estates to the Grand Duke, not a word is said of the free navigation of the Rhine ; or of the com mercial treaty lately concluded with Bavaria and•Wurtemberg.— though both were mentioned in the Speech from the throne. We believe that we express the sentiments and views of all en lightened men, when we reckon measures designed to promote the freedom of commerce and manufactures in Germany as calculated to have the most decisive and beneficial influence on the welfare 'of the whole country. The Hessian and Prussian Governments have the great merit of having taken the lead, and opened the way to a general Convention between all the German States, for the regulation of their commercial interests, and the establi.hment of a uniform system of duties, /cc. Those who are sensible of the importance of trade and manufactures, which, in modern times, are the chief foundation of the greatness and power of States, can• not fail to see in this union, and the free navigation of the Rhine, the commencement of a new era, and the pledge of the future pro sperity of the German States. The cold which has so sudden set in, will, if it should continue and interrupt the navigation, which will be very injurious to trade ; because larger quantities of Colonial produce are on the way from Holland hither, and ear stock is almost exhausted in consequence of consignments to Baden and Bavaria. Corn, as might be expected, has fallen considerably ; and as the accounts from Holland, France, and England are not favourable, a further de cline may be expected. _ It pleased the Globe—some three weeks since—to sneer at its more consistent contemporaries, who, in the conscientious discharge of a great public duty, denounced the system on which the New Po lice was established, as fraught with the most mischeivous consequences to the whole country; as detrimental to the domestic comfort, and even to the morals, of the people ; and calculated eventually to compromise the safety of our free institutions, by the introduction of a " Military Government"—the qualified designation of an arbitrary despotism. For the praiseworthy purpose, therefore, of enhancing his epos tacy, the factious scribe set about disabusing the public mind—as he vainly imagined—of " the idle prejudkee which, if we were to credit his own ready assurance, " appeared to be wearing off in the metropolis" even with out his rhetorical ad. With this view he affected to ridicule " the idea that the poor men with coarse blue coats and oil-skin capes were to act as domestic spies"—an "idea, which he imprudently asserted, " would be now only treated as a joke by the most credulous of the alarmists ;" —and thus did he attempt to rebut the charge of Es pionage, which, above all others, renders the system dis reputable to the Minister, and justly odious to the people. Disgusted by the unblushing profligacy of the slave, we turned at once to the act of the task-master—from the special pleading of the venal advocate to the re corded intentions of the Minister ;—we desired the wanton falsifier of the fact to read over again the " PROVISIONAL INSTRUCTIONS TO TRY Nzw Po- LICE," and we dared him to deny the existence of that inquisitorial principle, which it is as dishonourable to the Government of a free country to contemplate,—as it would be degrading to a land of freemen to endure with out remonstrance.! Has the abject sycophant read over the instructions ? We know not, neither do we care it is sufficient for us that he has not even presumed to vindicate himself from the imputation of baseness which we then cast upon him. We denied every one of his asser tions ; we refuted all his statements ; we exposed his fla grant dereliction of truth, in no measured terms ; and we TO CORRESPONDENTS. are due to L. )I. His valuable de- Our best aeknowkdgments tails shall appear bi-morrow. Despatches, dated the 27th of July,'were this day re ceived at the Colonial Office, from lieutenant-General Sir CHARLES COLV I LLE, Governor of the Mauritius. We have received further advices from Carthagena, to the date of the 14th, and letters from Guyaquil, to the 30th August. The Peruvian:Congress only wanted three Members, momentarily expected, to commence its sit tings, and to deliberate on the terms of peace. The most friendly relations already existed between the Govern ment of Peru and General Bottv An, and the conclusion of the negotiations was daily expected at Bogota. The LIBERATOR had been indisposed, but was quite well again, and enjoying the proudest fruit of his glorious labours—the esteem of the enemy, whom he had con quered by his arms, reconciled by his generosity. General O'LEARY had already entered the province of Antiocha, at Nari, where he took an Officer and eight of CORDOV A'S advanced party. In five days afterwards he would be at Medellin ; but perilous disturbance was al ready apparent. Co RDOV A had ordered the inhabitants of the vallies generally to take arms in his favour, under pain of death, but they had all refused, and at various points had stopped his parties. The Carthagena detach ment would probably return without crossing the Magda lena, as General O'LEARY considered his own force far greater than was needed. The indignation against .CoRDOV A'S wicked attempt to disturb the public tran quillity was general, and his murder of the serjeant, some years since in a most savage and atrocious manner, rose in judgment against him whenever his name was mentioned by the troops. General Botts.' nit, however, did not altogether escape some censure for his ill-advised clemency on that occasion as well as on others. The Congress will meet in January. The LIBERATOR has at all times, and on many similar occasions, declared that " Colombia could not exist, much less enjoy re pose, and prosper under a federative system. He always insisted on the incapacity of the people in the state they were left, after the war of independence, from want of previous due education, and their unsettled habits, to conduct the machinery of provincial Government, under central supreme direction, as in North America ; and he always proclaimed, as his opinion, that frequent elections of the executive, would not maintain or permit the growth of order, in a country where there would be so many rival military competitors with equally great claims to the • suffrages of the Constituent Body." All the influential men, as well as the great mass of the people of Colombia, are of his opinion. It is not, therefore, likely that the new term of Government will he at variance with those sentiments. But though Ge neral BOLIVAR may, by a grateful nation, acting also in behalf of its own interest, be named and obliged to accept the Presidentship for life, or for an extended term of years at least, General BOLIN An, so acting, will not be playing the tyrant, but the part of the benefactor and fa ther of his country. Were General Bott v An, even now, permitted to pur sue his own inclinations, he would seek relief from all public service. But we say, in the cause of freedom, and from the love we bear him, that he cannot, and dare net, for the sake of his renown and his conscience, aban don the country he has created to anarchy and spoliation — the inevitable consequence of his retirement from the fear of calumny, and thacensure of theoretical publicists. he detailed account of the operations which imme diately preceded the surrender of BARRADAS, will not reach England before the arrival of the next packet, a. General SANTA ANNA wrote to say he had not time to prepare the despateh. But our readers wilt, in the meantime, understand the plan we have given in another page, by bearing in mind that General BARRA DAS had fixed his head quarters at Tam pico de Tamaulipas, after he . had been obliged to re turn frran Altamira, in consequence of General SANTA No's gallant attack on Tampico during his absence, _ when SANTA ANNA withdrew his ♦ery inferior force in 'the presence of the Spanish troops; without their venturing to molest him. As soon as SANTA ANNA received his reinforcements, he ordered General GAR CIA, who was at Altranira, to take up the position • ~.ir . rendered his discomfiture as complete as his advocacy had been 'disingenuous and unprincipled. Yet he must earn the bitter bread of Court dependanee; he has be trayed the confidence of the people beyond all hope of re stitution ; and • he must do the bidding of his proud and peremptory patrons--be that bidding what it may. The incipient measure of that daring project which these Pa trons are now cautiously and gradually developing, must be defended ;—the public mind must be reconciled to the existence, and then to the necessity of the gendarmerie force, when deprived of the Constits tional Police ; and the public eye must be familiarised to the appearance of " the poor men in coarse blue coats and oil-skin capes" before our absolute Ministers will hazard the introduction of that perfect military system which they are now busily organising, or fill our streets with a standing army, under the popular denomination of a constabulary power. That inch a form of Govern went is even now preparing for this country, we no more doubt, than " we look upon the New Police. as part and parcel of a plan for introducing des potism,"—to use the weld& of the proselyte Globe, which we have taught to consider (deny it as he may) " espionage as inseparable from the establishment of the blue-coated watchmen."--It is pleasant to meet with even one indication of candour in so apt a pupil of the courtier's school, and when such apostates admit of their " own absurd boasting," they betray at least one pang of lingering regret for the abandonment of professions which they could only relinquish with dishonour—but having once fallen— ' They fall like Lucifer never to rise again !" It moves our pity—almost as much as our contempt—to see the shifts, the devices, the tricks, to which the un masked mock-patriot has recourse, in the vain hope of so assimilating two such conflicting tasks as to acquire credit with his new allies, and to uphold that specious de lusion which he has practised so long upon the objects of his treachery, that " custom hath given hypocrisy in him the property of nature." Dismayed by the easy exposure of his subtlety, he shrinks from the attack which he had the temerity to provoke, and dares not " singly face the foe :" but gathering courage from the example of mightier minds, debased by their alliance in the same bad cause, he keeps aloof from the point from which he was first beaten, and contents himself with a random shot or two, in the securest sort of bush-fighting. We hear no more of his mock-heroics--his blundering ridicule of the espionage instructions—no vapouring about " the improved condition of the streets,"—" the nests of pl underers broken up"—" the rarity of complaints or the easiness of redress against the New Police, as compared with those against the watchmen."—No, no :—these are matters capable of proof—and requiring something more than vague asser tion ; and they are therefore no longer discussed by the Globe ; who not satisfied with " begging the question," in the most contemptible fashion of the most contemptible servility, indulges in a long and unmeaning disquisition upon the qualities of " mobs"—distinguishing par-excel lence the " desperately rough mob of London," which we are told "is now a matter of history." Is it so indeed ? Is the Meeting of Spa-fields so soon forgotten ? Or was , that only " a bugbear played off by the Government against the people of property ?" Really, Ministers should institute some species of Censorship over the pages of the parasite, who, in the height of his adulation, vilifies the very Government whose tool he has become, by accusing them of " playing off the mob as a bug-bear against people of property,"—an expedient so full of danger,—so unconstitutional—so monstrous, that those who dare to re4ort to it should be impeached and prosecuted with the utmost rigour of the offended law. The Globe, however, merits some indulgence at the hands of Ministers, for the boldness with which, in the face of the people of England, he talks of " the modesty of the Government" that invaded the liberties of the country, by the infamous " Six Acts."—The modesty oti Carr LEREAG 11 .

The Funds, which were yesterday rather heavy. have somewhat improved this morning. owing to the various reports of the Illness of the &Irma of Russia being discredited. Consols, which left off yesterday at 941 j for the Account, have been done at 94j, since which they continue, alternately buyers and sellers at the latter price. In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE. The Funds have remained stationary the whole of the morning at 941 / for the Account, without a feature of importance, and the business doing is scarce worth obsersadon. We bate neither reports or 'Utica information. Bombay Papers have come to hand to the 2d August. They do not contain any information of oonseque.nce. Quebec Papers to the Bth Nov. and Montreal to the 10th Nov. have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. Both these papers contain an account of a severe storm which was experienced at Quebec on the Saturday, which has done great damage to the small crafts, and three or four schooners. 1 1 At the North and South American Coffee House letters are received from the Havannah, of the 26th of October, which state that the whole of the Spanish fleet had ar rived there. The Chilian, Butler, and the Cornelia, Constant, from Tampico, arrived at the Havannah on the 24th October, with 19 Spanish Officers, and 448 sol diers. Accounts from New Orleans, of the 22d of Oc tober, received at New York, state, that General Bar- Iradas was still in that city. By a passenger who arrived in the above city, reports that, in the late gale at Tam pico, the United States sloop of war Hornet, was dis masted ; and the Hound and Eclipse, of New Orleans, were lost. NIAGARA, October 16.---On the 2d instant, his Ex cellency the Lieutenant Governor, accompanied by two gentemen, pasted through Dundee, on his way to Amersthurgh. We understand his Excellency had a consultation with the Indian Chiefs, respecting the title for the lands, on whiCh the beautiful and flourishing village of Brandford stands.—lt appears that the title for this ground is founded on a lease from the Indians, which is considered not secure his Excellency is, therefore, anxious that the land should be sold and surrendered to Government (by the Indiana) from whom a good and sufficient title might be obtained' by those who have already built, or might wish to build thereon. THE KING'S COURT. His MAJESTY held a Court yesterday at hie Palace at Windsor. The Kum, attended by the Lord Steward of the Household, arrived at the palace at half-past two o'clock in a carriage and four, with outriders, escorted by a detachment of the Royal Horse Guards, the Earl of FIFE, and Colonel THORNTON (Aide-de -Camp to the King) following in a second carriage. His MAJESTY immediately proceeded to hold a Court, which was at tended by the Duke of CLARENCE, the Lord CHAN CELLOR,the First Lord of the TREASURY , the Lord PRIVY SEAL, the Secretaries of STATE for the Fo reign and Colonial Departments, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Master of the MINT, the Right Hon. STRATFORD CANNING, Mr. W. H. ADDINGTON, and Lord GLEN LYON, in waiting. Mr. ADDINGTOX was introduced to an audience of his MAJESTY by the Earl of ABERDEEN, ES Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and kissed hands on being appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to the Courtof Madrid. His MAJESTY held a Privy Council, at which Parlia ment was further prorogued from the 10th inst. to the 4th February—as stated exclusively in the STAR of iel iss :terd y evening—then to assemble for the dispatch of , for which purpose a Proclamation forthwith issues, and will appear in this night's Gazette. The ceremony of the investiture of the Duke of CLA RENCE as First and Principal Knight Grand Cross of the most Hon. Military Order of the Bath, in the room of the late Duke of YORK, took place; the following Knights Grand Crosses were present :—The Duke of W E LLINGTON, the Earl of ROSSLYN, and Sir GEORGE MURRAY. Sir GEORGE NAYLER, Genealogist of the Order, attended the ceremony in his robes, carrying the insignia of his office. The Royal Duke appeared in the robes of his office as First Knight Grand Cross. The Right Hon. STRATFORD CANNING was intro duced into the presence by the two Junior Knights pre sent, and received the honour of Knighthood, and was invested by the KING with the Grand Cross of the Order as a Civil Knight Grand Cross, the insignia being borne on a crimson velvet cushion by Sir GEORGE NAYLER. The Knights Grand Crosses were then called over, and the ceremony concluded The LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of WELLING TON, and the Earl of ABERDEEN, had audiences of the KING. The Earl of FIFE and Colonel ARMSTRONG were the Lord and Groom in Waiting. A dejeunit was prepared for the Cabinet Ministers, and others attending the Court. The KING left the Palace with his suite at five o'clock, and returned to the Royal Lodge. The Cabinet Ministers left about the same time, most of them coming to town. The Duke o WELLINGTON proceeded on a visit to the Duke of BUCKING)! AM, at his seat at Stowe. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. CHANGES.

Meetings for the repeal of the Malt and Beer Duties. will shortly be holden at Lewes, Arundel, and at Chichester. In Lincolnshire many district assemblies have taken place, in addition to which the Sheriff has been called on to assemble the county, but which our readers are aware he has refused to do. We have received Quebec Papers to the Ist ult.—The boundary lines throughout the first seven ranges a Stoneham, have been latterly verified, and it is said, that within the last two months, 22 or 23 families have taken location certificates there, and are actually engaged in making clearances. It is determined to hold a Corn Market at Bosley on the alternate Mondays with the Fareham Market. Two or three families residing at Shaftesbury intend shortly to depart from that town for America. One poor family left that place a few weeks ago, for the new set dement on Swan River.
