They state that thirty Officers from the army of General SAN MAR TIN had been brought to Valparaiso under arrest, for having, as it was supposed, formed a conspiracy in Peru against the Commander-in-Chief. The following is an extract of a letter from the Captain of a vessel.employed in the Expedition under Lord COCHRANE: ' " Bay of limcho, coast of Peru, •March 26, 1821.

The following are extracts: Last Monday, the Priest Salazar was conveyed from . Burgos hither : he had been brought from Bar celona with a good escort of cavalry and infantry. It seems that Merino has recovered himself, having appealed with seventeen of his band near the Sierra, and that his ancient friend, the Postmaster, has shewn himself on the other side : for which reason, the first Battalion of the Regiment of the EMperor Alexander, which was coming to this City, was marched to Ezearay. one so forgetful of his duty, and so deaf to my admonitions, as to relapse into the excesses which he ought to remember but to blush at them, I wain him that I win then display in his exem plary chastisement all the energy of my character, and that, sup ported by the liw and by the observance of the Constitution to which we have all sworn, the criminal shall find me inexorable, and I will never cover myself with infamy, by meanly compro mising with licentiousness and sedition. (Signed) " FRANCISO DE COPONS, Superior Political Chief. " Madrid, July 16, 1821." The Paris Papers of Monday arrived this forenoon, An article from Vienna of the 19th July, states, that a:cording to accounts received there, by express, from St. Petersburgh, the Emperor ALEXANDER had given a categorical answer to the complaints of the Porte against Baron STROGONOPP, but what the an swer was, was not authentically known. It is said, however, that the EMPEROR had required from the Porte complete satisfaction for the insults received by his Ambassador, and that in the space of eight days. If that is not given, the Ambassador has been ordered to quit Constantinople, on which the Russian troops assembled on the Pruth will enter Moldavia. All the Russian Generals, it is added, have received sealed orders, which they are not to open till a certain day. Contrary to•what was recently stated as to the dis position of the Barbary Powers towards the Porte, the DEY of TUNIS has, according to a private letter from Tunis, of the 24th, armed in great haste seve ral ships of war, which are destined to act in concert with the Turks against the Greeks of the Archipelago. Several Greeks at Tunis had been maltreated and imprisoned by order of the DEY. A Paition has been presented to the Chamber of Deputies, praying, that the remains of BONAPARTE might be conveyed to France. The following is a translation of the Petition, though it is not much like what is generally understood by the term Petition in this country• : " TO SIESSILIIIIS TAE SIESHIERS OF TAT CIISSITEIL OF DEPUTIES.

The Superior Political Chief has addressed the following Remonstrance to the Citizens who attend the Club at the Fontana d'Oro " Critzasys—Oa the 16th of last month I explained to the Public, in a very clear manner, my ideas and my desires respect ing the Club which you attend with the plausible object of giving and recrivins information. I called to mind the obliga tions which you ought always to have in view in that Meeting, and the objects which, according to the principles of the Consti tution, you ought solely to propos: ; and 1 concluded by de claring, that the abuse of the liberty of speech never could be permitted, whether it proceeded from malice or was the effect of ignorance. , ► " Notwithstanding such serious warnings, I have seen that the unssasonable violence of some speakers, the ignorance and imprudence of others, have led it to the extreme of permitting the diffusion of erroneous doctrines, contrary to the sacred in violability of the King—of eulogizing scenes of horror and of bloodshed which make humanity shudder, and at which every evilised nation blushes—of descending to injurious personalities, prohibited by the laws—and of seekitig to mislead public opinion so as to approve and sanction, as indispensable and just, the beeaking through of the restraints of the law, and in contempt of it, employing culpable measures foreign to the dignity and mag nanimity of the Spanish Nation, whose distinguishing charac t . ri s is has been moderation and wisdom, even in the most trying political crisis. " Such great abuses have excited in my heart the most pain ful feelings, on reflecting that the school of knowledge and virtue might be converted, if they should continue, into a tumultuous as aembly, and inevitably plunge us in the most disastrous anarchy. And, in truth, what other result can be expected, if, under the pretext of supporting our beloved liberty, it is attacked by direct invitations to despise the laws by which it is guaranteed, instead of earnestly inculcating the salutary principle that liberty itsall can only be secured by a sacred obedience (sanfa esclarilud) to the laws, and by the rigorous observance of our political Con stitution' What advantage to the system does he propose who despises, and excites other to despise, its fundamental bases? " After having become an object of admiration and esteem to all Europe, by our judicious and peaceable conduct in the restoration of order, shall we, by want of reflection, incur the disgrace of losing the reputation so ;astly gained, and make our selves an object of horror, of pity, aad of contempt, in the eyes We publish to-day, in another part of our Paper, of all other nations?

We copy from the board of the New England Coffee-house the following official account of the occupation of the Falkland Islands, by a Naval force, in the name of the " Supreme Government of the United Provinces of South Amciica." We arc at a loss what particular Authority to recognize by this title ; but must presume that the capture is one way or other made on account of the Independent interest. These Islands lie to the east of the Straits of Ma gellan, ISO miles from Cape San Juan, and 315 from Cape Horn : FROM THE SALEM GAZETTE, JUNE 12.

JEWELL, " Colonel of the Marine of the United Provinces of South • America, and Commander of the frigate lleroina." HIS MAJESTY'S VISIT TO IRELAND. PORTSMOUTH. Tuesday Evening, Seven o'Clock. His MAJESTY arrived here this evening, at half past five o'clock, and got on board his yacht at a quarter before six. I believe he remains in the har bour to-night; and if he goes to Cowes to-morrow I shall follow him, and stay there until he sails for Ireland. _ Wednesday, August 1, Fight o'Cloelc, a. az._ Early yesterday morning signals were made to the! Royal Squadron at Spithead, communicating the grateful intelligence that his MAJESTY might be ex pected in the course of the day, and desiring them to unmoor the vessels. The order was quickly complied with, and in a few minutes the whole convoy were at single anchor, in line, according to seniority, pre pared to receive his MAJESTY. About eleven o'clock, Admiral Sir J. H. WHIT.. SHED, Commodore Sir C. PAGET, Lieutenant-Gover nor Sir G. Comte, and several Naval Officers, went down to the large platform, which is close by the Sallyport, and remained there some time, observing the state of the water. It was then blowing fresh from the West; and as this produced a strong surf, it was apprehended that his MAJESTY might suffer inconvenience if he were rowed in his barge to the ROYAL GEORGE yacht, which lay moored, a consider able distance, at Spithead. The Admiral, therefore,;; oh consulting the other Officers who were present, resolved to have the RoYaL GEORGE brought into harbour, and accordingly signals were made to her for that purpose. She was immediately slipped from her moorings, was under weigh about twenty minutes before twelve, and in eight minutes after she was in the harbour. She stood proudly under her canvass while she moved along; and though the breeze was fresh, she did not yield to it in the least, but cut her way firmly through the waters with all the steadiness and majesty of a scan of war. Having passed into the harbour, she stood out and in again for the grati fication of the numerous spectators who crowded the platform battery and the beach, and was then moored at the lower buoy, near the mouth of the harbour. The morning had been lowering, but at noon the sun shone upon the scene in all its brightness. During the early part of the day, the neighbour. hood of the Sally port presented a busy scene. Ser. vants, and seamen, and porters, were seer: hastening down to the boats with military hat-boxes and trunks of every shape and size. When it was known gene rally through the town that his MAJESTY was to be here in the course of the afternoon, every face began to brighten up with expectation; the inhabitants ceased to work, and closed their shops as on Sundays, and all arrayed themselves in their holiday attire. Famillis from twenty, and others from thirty, and even forty miles around Portsmouth, poured into the town; and being for the most part females, when added to, and intermingled with, the gay population of this place, they served very much to heighten and improve the scene. There was a hearty expression of health and cheerfulness displayed in the counte nances of the various groups that filled the streets or decorated the windows, which made one feel that he was not amidst a crowd of London spectators. The road from the Landport, or barrier-gate, was newly sanded for a considerable way outward, and wherever a convenient standing-place offered itself, it was lined with people. The road over Portsdown hill, distant hence about five miles, is easily seen from the ramparts, and objects moving on it may be dis tinguished minutely with a glass. That side of the ramparts whence the best view of the hill can be ob tained was accordingly occupied by the spectators, gazing intensely upon the point where his MAJESTY'S barouche and escort was first to become visible. An artilleryman was stationed here with a telescope, and almost every elderly looking man had a telescope of his own. Some of these glasses seemed to be old and valued companions, and only used upon State occa sions. It was market-day in the town; but the busi ness of the hour was either anticipated or deferred, in expectation of the arrival of his MAJESTY. At two o'clock the Royal Marine Artillery marched in from Gosport, commanded by Sir R. WILLIAMS. The beat ,of the drum, and the music of their fine band, as they moved up High -street, drew crowds of hurrying spectators to the street and ramparts. The uniform of this body is not of a striking description, yet the men presented a very martial appearance. The 10th and 15th Regiments then proceeded from their bar racks, as also did the Royal Marines to their several stations. This took up some time, and at length, about four o'clock, the different troops were formed in the, following order :—At the New Sallyport a Guard of Honour from the 10th Regiment, consisting of a Cap tain, two subalterns, four serjeants, and nearly two 1 hundred privates, were stationed. They had with t hem the KING'S colours. The remainder of the 10th Regiment, commanded I by Colonel STEWART, formed in files on their left along High -street, the rear rank oa the edge of the footway, and the front rank about eight paces from them in the road. The files were placed at such dis tances as enabled the Regiment to occupy the street nearly to the Old Court-House, which takes up so much space, and deforms a street that otherwise woOld present a fine open vista. The Royal Marine Artillery formed with their right adjoining the left of the 10th, and after these the Royal Marines and five companies of the 15th Regiment, commanded by Colorel Detvremr, formed in the sam: ma -n r along the whole length of High-street to the bara '7. II gate. Four Artillerymen were stationed on then ::. parts, one at the Prince of Wales's Bastio n , e n ^ x . the Queen's Bastion, one at the Icings Bastion, a l one at the corner of the Platform Battery, with el;;, with each a white signal flag on a star, which they ' were commanded to wave one to the other, as scan as his MAJESTY entered the Landport-gate. Th, 2 fi, st mentioned bastion is over the Landpert-gate, and C!,e two others are at the angles of the two principal sites 1 1 of the rampart. The Platform Battery is en theler, of the Sally-port, and thus the waving of the si gna l jflags communicated the erary of his Nladesrr retrad the battery in an instant. An Artilleryman was stationed at the flag -stair in the Land-port curtain, opposite the Lieutenant-Go vernor's house, with the Royal Standard furled I T , prepared to hoist it on his Maarsrv's entrance, and another Artilleryman, tvsth a similar stand4rd,faried up, was stationed at the fl rg-staff on the King's B. tion, which is seen diagonal i y from the Sally poi/. The Royal Sappers and ;liners were also in auendance. The South-East Hants Yeomanry Cavalry, con sisting of the principal tradesmen of the town, and commanded by Colonel Lteeetures, were stationed on the Parade. They did not, of course, present :t very martial aspect, bat they exhibited what was much preferable to a patriot's eye— a an at l e ro d r . se t s h t ie E te e i lish appearance, impressing one with the i‘laa, tiv: inexperienced as they were in the science of war, they still knew how to appreciate, and were resolve:: with their lives to defend, if necessary, the sacred ia heritence of their liberties. The breeze having considerably porary stage was laid down from the stairs of tlieSal. lyport, and declined, by an easy descen:, towards the water, until it was on a level with tiro edge of the Royal barge. The side rails of the stairs were covered on each side with rich crimson cloth, and ca the platform, immediately near the door, the Admi ral of the station, Sir J. H. Wurrsite;), the Cuamis. sioner of the Dock-yard, Sir J. Getty, and several , Marine Officers, in full uniform, waited to receive ' his MAJESTY. The Royal barge was in preparatioa at, the left side of the extremity of the temporary • stage. On the right, the boats from the diff:rentres- sels of the squadron w ere stationed according to se. niority, the Captains in them, the oars raised, addle pendants streaming over their sterns. In the front, at some lit:le distance on the water, were several private yaclit7, filled with the families of the proprietors, and the space all around was oc cupied by innumerable small boats full of Ladies ral Gentlemen. On the left of the S.illypert the:e is a large platform, which is used in time of war fcr the easy embarkation of victualling stores. Tills plat. form was occupied by the Royal Marine band, and by the Ladies and Gentlemen of the principal families of the neighbourhood. Among them were the Ermi nes of the Admiral, of the Commissioners, of Colonel Ilesray GARRAT, Lady BRICK and family, Sir Lucius and Lady Corms and family, Sir JAMES t mmos's family, and Lady BENNET andTamily, from Fareham. The accommodation of these, and a crowd of other distinguished visitors, depended on W. REEK ES, Esq. the Agent Victualler; and it is due to him to say, that he provided for their convenience with the o:- most politeness and attention. The Storehouse itself, which is immediately behind, and from its high leader roof commands a most excellent prospect of the street, the harbours, the squadron at Spithead, the rampart, and the batteries, was liberally opened for the ac commodation of the spectators. The roof was speedily filled, almost entirely with Ladies, and from a dis tance they presented a peculiarly gay appearance. The saluting battery on the left was, of comae, cleared of spectators; but beyond this the ramparts were lined as far as they commanded a view of the sea on one side, or of the Barrier-gate on the othet. The rear-ranks of the troops in High-street had their files so open, that two or three of the people had room to stand between them, and no objection being offered to their doing so, the rear-rank being think termingled with persons in coloured clothes, had an appearance of a curious and uncommon description, Indeed it was particularly pleasant to observe the cordial understanding that everywhere subsisted be tween the soldiers and the people, the former seeming scarcely to have one feeling different from the latter. In this instance, at least, the military appeared to realize the ideas of BLACKSTONE, when he observed, that a British soldier; though dressed in a red coat, does not forget that he is still a citizen. As the day advanced expectation became more and more inteo At length, at twenty-seven minutes past five, two of the Yeomanry, who had gone out, returned in a gal . lop down the streets to the Parade. The troops iv mediately carried arms, and the Artillerymen siere I in attendance at their guns on the Platform Bawl 1 At half-past five precisely the Royal standards ve le hoisted, the signal flags were waved. the first of ga di: twenty-one guns was discharged, and his Me I appeared at the Barrier Gate. The guns were they discharged one after the other. The keys of the Gar . rison were delivered to his MAJESTY by the Lienle* I nant-Governor, and returned in a moment, and tl7e next minute the Royal barouche was seen %a-ir k( ' along the line of troops in High-street. It sis escorted by a body of Dragoons.
