INSURRECTION IN SPAIN. - Letters from Gibraltar of the Sd instant, from Ca. diz of the 4th, and from Madrid of the 10th, contain the following details: General Freyre has stationed 4,000 men at Port St. Mary ; General Cruz occupies Chiclana, having under his orders a division of 5,000 men; the cavalry are united at Port Real. A division of the Insurgents, 2,000 strong, com manded by Riego, issued from St. Ferdinand to pro ceed towards Tarifa, and General O'Donnel is in pursuit of them. The fort of Tarifa was very strong before the last war, but there is no longer, any trace of fortifications. The rebels have transferred to the arsenal of Caracca the superior Officers whom they had arrested at the moment of theiirevolt. • General Campana, Commandant of the , garrison of Cadiz, proceeded on the 3d beyond the Corte- Dora, with a column of 3000 men,. to notify to the Insurgents the amnesty which the King offers them. The Chief of the Insurgents required three days to give his answer. By a postscript to a letter from Cadiz, of tht 4th instant, it is announced, that at that time the troops of Corta-Duna marched upon the fort of Torre-Gorda (the extremity of the causeway of Cadiz, on the side of the Isla). There has been taken from the Insurgents, in the Bay of Puntales, an armed sicop, which guarded the causeway. • Colonel Santiago, who was at the head of the tumult in Cadiz on the 24th ultimo, has succeeded in joining the Insurgents. Yesterday, a very numerous Meeting of the Go veruors of the Scottish Hospital and Corporation, was held at their Hall, Crane-court, Fleet-street, his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE, the Presi:.' dent, in the Chair, when an Address of Condolence and Congratulation to his MAJESTY, was moved by his Grace the Duke of ArnoLL, seconded by GEORGE' WATSON TAYLOR, Esq. M.P. one of the Vice-Presi dents, and unanimously adopted.—We shall give our Readers the Address, after it has appeared in The cazette. Yesterday, a Meeting of the Magistrates, for the County of Middlesex, took place at the Sessions }douse, in Clerkenwell, for the purpose of voting an Address to his Maresrv, upon his Accession to the 'Throne, which was supposed to be the most numerous .rkeeting of Magistrates that ever took place upon my occasion, there being about 150 present. Mr. DYNG and Mr. Mumma, the Members for the County, the CHAIUMAN of the Sessions, and a Corn•' irnittee of Fifteen, were appointed to draw up an Ad dress, who withdrew for that purpose, and having returned with a prepared Address, it was unani mously agreed to.

" Formidable preparations have been made, and erg. king, 'fOr the invasion of Peru, by combined opeidions and. concentrated movements ; and the money raised. at, Buenos-Ayres, for the defence of that.city, is to he appropriated to that object. It is supposed that an army will march upon Lima, through 'Alto Peru from Buenos-Ayres, while one of 6000 or 7000 men .will go by sea from Chili. " The anniversary of the Independence of Chili has been celebrated with great pomp. Illuminations and fire-works continued for three days, with the usual ceremonies of reviews, &c. " A new regiment, called the Guard of Honour, has been raised, and remains, with the escort of Ca valry, continually in the barracks of the place. The Buenos. Ayres troops are here about 2500 strong. " General San Martin has recruited about 3000 men in Mendoza, destined for Peru—large levies of militia have been made, and a force.l loan, or rather contribution, has been imposed. The Revenue this year will be about three millions of dollars—the ex -1 penditure as much, or more: but the paper of the e , Government is not current at 2.5 per cent. discount. I think the Independence of Chili is secure; but it, `will be more completely confirmed if Lord Coch- , rane succeeds in his attack on Callao ; if not, some delay and discontent will prevail, but it will not avail much, for the Government are very securely fixed in their places. On the Anniversary of the In dependence, the Supreme Director conferred the Or der of the Legion of Honour upon a number of per sons : this Order has been created during the last year ; it gives certain privileges to each of its Mem bers, according. to the grade or class, and certain annual salaries for life. " It is now contemplated to make some other pro. visions for the Members out of the confiscated pro perty : how far this will promote the full and free enjoyment of human rights, I leave others to judge; but certain it is, that it will operate as a cementing bond of union between the Government and those who compose it—it gives some little displeasure, but many of those who speak against it, would accept it if offered to them. Neither Mr. Prevost nor Mr. Hill resisted the paper blockade. Captain Downs made a partial remonstrance. Mr. John Higginson goes to the United States in the vessel which will convey this, to raise a loan there for the Government of Chili, and to foment certain favourable senti ments, respecting the acknowledgment of its inde pendence, preparatory to a public or private embassy from this country ; and also to canvass for his friend P—. An Agent or Ambassador, or some other public functionary, will soon leave here for Washington; his object will be to act privately until the public mind is prepared for the exhibition of his credentials. Neither the Government of Buenos Ayres nor of dhili has paid, or made provision for paying, the arrears upon the two vessels built by their agent, Mr. Aguerre, at New York. The Newspapers and Government paper are intended to aid their objects in the United States. Rather unfriendly sentiments prevail towards us. England, with her commerce, manufactures, her subjects, and maritime force, in this quarter of the world, have the start, and I think for some time will retain a great influence. "The affairs with Portugal, or rather Brazil, bear an aspect of collusion. A squadron has gone to ff Peru, consisting of ten sail. We have also learnt that' Don Ignacio Carrera, the father of him who was so barbarously murdered in Mendoza, by order of. San Martin, died of grief ; that Jose Carrera,• who was in this country, had gone round in a merchant vend I from the River Plate, with the intention of landing alone somewhere in his native country, but the go vernment of Chili, having by some means got in -1 formation of his approach, sent out a schooner, and' the vessel was seized and brought into Valparaistt, wherehe was landed on the Bth October last, and, it was believed, in a day or two would be led to exe cution ; and that all the rest of the Carrera fami'y or connection, would be banished—thus the Carre ras are no more. And whatever may have been their errors or their faults, all acknowledge they were brave, active, and enlightened men ; and the most distinguished leaders of the Revolution, in its commencement. They were never charged with being false to Chili, nor over had a meanness imputed to them. Their rivals have prevailed—they have fallen ; and generous Americans will bestow 11 sigh of sin cere regret."

The year 1319 closed w ith one of the most tre mendousgales ever experienced in this harbour, which continued with unremitting fury for a period of no less than nine hours. The appearance of the morn ing was unusually dark and gloomy, and, from the violent storm that was then also raging, Par tridge Island could net be perceived from the town ; nuns were, about eight o'clock, heard in the direc tion of it, yet such was the gloom that encompassed the atmosphere, the cause could not be discovered. About niner o'clock, however, we had a slight inter- Val„ ,and a brig was distinctly seen, on the south east end.of W, rolling tremendously, with her masts I both sanding; signals of distress were, at the time,. flying on the Island; and guns occasionally fired, but so unxiimally great was the sea, that thelaudable s efforts both Or Messrs. Reed and Mabee, pilots, to get to the vessel, were unavailing, and they were reluctantly. for the preservation of their own lives, obliged to re turn. Between ten and eleven o'clock, the entne shore, at the lower part of the town, was covered with pieces of wreck, bags of pimento, oranges„.3tc. and it was soon discoveted,from the marks en the bags and parts of the stern, that the unfortunate ves sel was the elegant btig Mary, tapt. George Bell, from Savannah-la-Mar, owned .by Messrs. Crook shanks and Johnson. The public mind was now entirely engrossed in the fate of the Master and crew, and every attempt during the remainder of the day, almost inconsistent with prudence, was made to obtain intelligence from the : but although the violence of the wind in some measure had abated during the afternoon, yet such were its effects from the tremendous sea that was running, the most strenuous efforts were render ed unavailing, and it was no until this morning we learnt that her whole crew, 13 in number, including the Master, had peris:led. The pilo:, Mr. D.Walker and two of his boatmen, who had got on board th;_, brig some time before she struck, were rescued from a watery grave by having recourse to a desperate ex pedient, which, however, the exhausted state of the Master and crew could not induce them to under take : a buoy was thrown overboard from the vessel, to which a line was attached, and made fast on board of her; this drifted on shore;-and being made promptly secure by the people on the Island, they individually committed themselves to the waves, and were safely landed. The bodies of four of the lary's crew have been found. • - Vire have to notice the direful effects of this pheno. meson, particularly( within the harbour. The ships Lady Ridley and Bittern, brigs Mungo Park, Mary Ann, United Kingdom, William, Charles, Hope, and a number of others, were all materially injured, A small schooner, belonging to Mr. R. Lawrence, was entirely sunk, and rendered irreparable. The new barracks, which bad recently been erected by Mr. Cody, and almost inclosed, were levelled with the ground ; and the roof of a new house, lately built and owned by Mr, E. Cameron, situate in Sidney Ward, was blown off. Much damage was also done in other parts of the city. Captain Masters, late of the schooner Thomas Ritchie, frpm St. Vincent, for this port, arrived in town on Saturday, with the melancholy intelligence of the loss of that vessel, and of the lives of six more of cur fellow-creature;. The Thomas Ritchie was drove ashore about a mile to the westward of the Negro Head, about two o'clock Am. the pre ceding morning, in the tremendous gale, and is two hours the vessel was completely broken up, and not „a vestige of her was to be seen. Capt. M. got ashore on a spar yard, and carried a rope with him, which he made fast to the cliffs, but the crew were afraid to ven- ' cure ashore by it ; it shortly parted, and another was' got on shore and secured in the same manner, but at tended with as little effect, as the rope again parted ; the vessel heeled off, went to pieces, and the fell4sw int persons perished ih the sight of the only..survivor, who suffered severely from the inclemency of the weather :—John Clarke, Mate ; Henry Beyea, son of the late Captain &yea, William Thomson, William Brown, Edward Baggs, and Edward Hugbs, seamed. , • Yesterday, a Court of Directors was held at the Bast India House, when the undermentioned Captains were sworn into the command of their respective ships, viz.

This was an information against the defendant, for publishing a seditious libel in No. 2, of the Republican. The ATToitusy GEMBRAI. opined this case, b 7 commenting, in severe terms, on the condect of the defendant, in publishing suc h abominable trash. The libel in question was a Letter to the Prince Re gent, for thanking, what the writer chose to call, the assassins of Manchester. It was high time that such pOlications should be checked, or the country would soon experience the fatal effects, The SOLICITOR GENERAL proved the vending of the libel by the defendant, at his shop, in the Strand. The case for the prosecution being closed, Mr. Watling . rose to make his defence.—He objected tp being tried by a Special Jury, as he thought it was not agreeable to the laws of England. He observed that he was a general. dealer in pamphlets and news_ papers ; and that it was not possible for him, an un. lettered man, to make himself acquainted with the contents of every book 'that he sold. As soon as he knew that the sale of the present libel gave offence, • he desisted. It was his trade to publish all sorts of books and pamphlets. He had a wife and large far milt', and he trusted that the Jury would not think hardly of him, He had had an indictment preferred against him at the Middlesex Sessions, by which he hrid been greatly harassed. Mr. Robert Wilson gave the prisonsr a very good character. The ATTORNEY GENERAL replied. He was glad that the defendant had not justified or denied the publication. Ignorance was no excuse for any error. It was by stopping the sale that such publicationa were to be put down, With respect to the Middlesex Sessions, he had nothing at all to do with it. He did not wish to harass the defendant. The CRIEF JUSTICE summed up, and the Jury, ,without hesitation, brought in a verdict of Guilty. The CHIEF JUSTICE of the Court of King's Bench, will sit at Westminster till Saturday newt, and oa Monday his Lordship goes-to Guildhall for four days, and then•sets off for the York Assizes, which will commence on the Monday following, Damages to the amount of 4;250, h ave been awarded against Mr. Chapman, for a libel inserted in Me Manchester Observer.
