The sittings of the Cortes continue in the regular course, without presenting anything very' remark able. In the sitting of the 28th August, a rather warm debate ensued on the reading of a note from the Minister of the Interior, in which he asked, " Whether his Majesty - could nominate to the office of the Secretaries of State for the several Departments into which the affairs of the kingdom art divided, one of his Counsellors ?" M. Boraces CAnsesno said there was no need to refer this question to a Committee. The accumula tion of offices was prohibited by the Cortes: a Coun sellor is raised to that dignity by the nation; the nation desires him to fill that place alone, and conse quently he cannot be appointed to the office of Se cretary of State or any other. M. ALves de Rio thought that there could be no difficulty, since, if a Counsellor was appointed Minis ter of State, he would, ipso facto, cease to be a Coun sellor ; consequently there was uo accumulation of offices, and the Cortes would present another triple list to the King, who would choose from it as he thought fit. M. FEELNANDEz THOMAS thought that the Minister ought not to have laid such a question before the Assembly. " This is the second time he has brought forward similar questions. I know the reasons, and, if necessary, will expose them, that it may not happen a third time. Did not the Nation choose the Coun sellors? Was not a triple list presented to the King ? Had not he a choice? and did he not choose at his pleasure? Are we to change every day ? How can a Counsellor, if appointed Secretary of State, speak with frankness to the King if he has just received a favour from him? I protest against this proceeding,and re peat, that if necessary, I will expose the reasons of . this manoeuvre, with which I am well acquainted, and know to what it tends." M. A. de Rio supported his opinion ; to which M. T. THOMAS replied, and was supported by M. BAETA and M. Bo IMES CA ENE! Ito. The latter spoke at length, and said, he knew well whom it was intended to put in the post of Secretary of State for the Department of Justice : it was the same person who paralised all the business of the administration of justice to protect his colleagues. The motor then began to allege facts, but wa, vehemently called to order: he was, however, permitted to proceed, and concluded the picture which he had begun, in which he spoke of the cause of Antonio Fale, of the Judge of Coimbra, &c. &c. and concluded by saying, that it was only in Algiers that justice was administered in such a man ner, and that " Siaciler cum similibus facile congre gantur." M. PEIMENTEL 'MALDONADO said—" The man of whom the preceding speaker talks has been declared innocent by this illustrious Assembly. To accuse him a new motion is necessary: there is none such, and I therefore call him to order." M. CASTELLO BRANCO.ge Unhappily, his Ma jesty has been always deceived by those who sur rounded him. His Majesty, knowing this, endea voured to drive far from him those men who so largely contributed to the ruin of the nation; but certainly he has not succeeded . I know the object of the Note of the Minister of Finance; but as I have not certain data, I will not yet explain it: but as soon as I have them I shall do it. I will lie the first to denounce them to this sovereign Congress. The nation may have confidence in a man as Coun sellor, but not as Minister of State. It is not lawful for the King to remove Officers from the posts which they fill. The Constitutional System would be at an end, and we should see men qualified for one office filling others for which they certainly are not.— Besides, what would be the influence of the Council of State? Why was it formed ? Was it not to coun terbalance the Executive power ? If the King can give the Ministers honours, revenues, or offices, can they speak to him with freedom and confidence? I absolutely disapprove of the Note of the Minister of Finance, and propose that it should be intimated to him that he be more Constitutional." After some further debate, it was proposed and carried, that "the King cannot appoint one of his Counsellors to the Office of Secretary of State, nor to any other office or employment." In the same sitting, M. B. Cuts:atm made a com plaint of various Magistrates who protected robbers and assassins ; he mentioned two of thsee, who had been concerned in many robberies and murders, and are yet to be set free by the Magistrates, under the pretext that they were included in the Amnesty. granted by the Cortes : he proposed that the conduct of the Magistrates should be inquired into, and the two persons in question arrested wherever they might be found. UIaRIMIK4) approved. of the inquiry, and of punishing the Magistrates, if guilty ; but to arrest two men,, set at liberty by the competent authority, would be an act of despotism. _ _ After some discussion, M. _CARNMRO withdrew the second part of his suotioa, and the first was as sented to. In the Sitting of the 4th September, M. B. CAR. NEIRO said, he had received a message, written by Jcse MAchado Correa, a native of Bahia, which, in his opinion, clearly proved the utility and the neces sity of allowing the Clergy to marry. The Deputies of Pernambuco have taken their seats in the Cortes. We have received to-day a large supply of Ame rican Papers from New York to the sth September, Boston to the 29th August, and other parts of Ame rica, to a later date. The following are extractst NEW YORK, AUGUST Qs. We are informed by our Boston Cdrrespondent, that the brig Volant, arrived at that place from Santa Martha, brings intelligence of the Patriot fleet having gone into the harbour of Carthagena on the Oth of June, and attacked the Royalist flotilla, and after a severe action, captured foar launches, sunk the gun brig Andalusia, and destroyed the remainder. 'the .Royalists lost 200 killed, and the Patriots 17 tilled and wounded. Captain Chazal, arrived at Chatleston from Sa vanilla, informs it was reported at Santa Martha that the whole of New Grenada was in possession of the Patriots, with the exception of the town of Cartha gena, and Bolivar had abdicated his command. A dangerous plot was discovered at St. John's,' Porto Rico, on the 24th ultimo. Many of the Black Chiefs have been seized, and will suffer death. The hellish work was to have commenced on the night of the 25th. CHARLESTON, AUGUST 30. We are sorry to perceive (says the Franklin Ga zette) that the malignant fever continues to make serious ravages among the citizens of Baltimore. A Jamaica Mail arrived this morning, with Papers to the 16th of August. They contain accounts of a most disastrous description to the cause of Inde-, pendence on the coasts of the Pacific. General ST. MARTIN has been completely routed in a great battle with the Royalists; and the Esmeralda frigate, so gallantly captured by Lord COCHRANE, has been re taken by the Spaniards. The following are the details: FROM THE ROYAL GAZETTE OF THE 11TH AUGUST. By the Esperanza, accounts were received from Panama to the 20th ult. respecting the contest in Peru. Intelligence, it appears, has been brought by the schooner Guadeloupe, in ten days from Payta, which, we hear, is of the utmost importance. The Chilian Commander, San Martin, having left behind him a garrison of 900 invalids, embarked at Guacho with 4000 men, who were landed at the Chorillas, situate within two leagues of Lima. The Royalist army immediately attacked the troops of San Martin with great intrepidity, whom they routed with immense slaughter, upwards of 1600 of the Chilian troops having been left dead on the field of battle. San Martin, with the remainder of his corps, favoured by the approach of night, fled with the ut most precipitation, and escaped on board the ves sels whence they disembarked. Their destination was not known. The Governor of Trusillo is stated to have mani fested a disposition to put himself on the defensive: a division of troops has been sent against him from Lima. The Captain of ,a British ship employed hi the whale fishery, which had touched at Payta shortly after the departure of the Cuadaloupe, reported that he had spoken a Spanish brig of war, in company with a ship of the line and a frigate of the same na tion, directing their course to the port of Callao. The prisoners who were on board the Esmeralda frigate, after the capture by Lord Cochrane, had risen upon the crew, re-captured, and carried her into Lima. The inhabitants of Guayaquil have been recently overwhelmed with the greatest affliction and despair, in consequence of the arrival of an Expedition from Choco, and the heavy contributions levied on them by these troops. We have received letters from Smyrna of the 17th, and from Constantinople of the 25th ult. The gene ral impression was in favour of peace, and so strong that every one in the Turkish capital seemed to act upon the force of it: Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Captain P. CAIWZRON was sworn into the command of the ship Earl cf Bakat ras, consigned to Bengal and China. Sir CoLIN HALKITT, the new Lieutenant-Gover nor of the Island of Jersey, was sworn in on Monday last, with the usual ceremony, in the presence of the Royal Court. Measures are taken to raise a Public Subscription for Sir ROBERT WILSON. A private meeting of his Friends and Constituents took place last night for that purpose, preparatory to a more formal one. —Sir ROBERT WILSON has not left Paris, nor, for the present, intends doing so. He has, however, written to the COMMANDER-IN-CIIIEF to request a Court-Martial, and upon the receipt of an answer in the negative, he will immediately address a public letter to his Constituents, and take no other public step until the meetirr , of Parliament. THE KING'S PROGRESS. - ROCHESTER, CHATHAM, Sce. FARTHER PARTICULARS. On Monday morning the streets of Rochester and Chatham were crowded with well-dressed people in expectation of his Kisses Ty's approach. A Guard of Honour, composed from the Royal Sappers and Miners, the Royal Veterans, and 7lst Regiment of Foot, marched to the Crown Inn,. accompanied by the band of the Royal Marines and bugles of the list. The Cobham Yeomanry, under the command of Lord CLIFTON, proceeded to the New-road, where the troops of the garrison were stationed. About a quarter before four, the arrival of his Moser! was announced by di•ch•{rges of artillery, the bells of the Cathedral, and the shouts of the po pulace. After changing horses at the Crown Inn, his MAJESTY proceeded without making any stay.— When the band played Goo save the King, several persons joined in the national anthem. His MAJESTY tonversed with Sir A. Cuarsrts, and repeatedly bowed to the populace. He passed through the streets, however, with the glasses of his carriage closed, and most of those who had anxiously waited during the day, obtained but a very imperfect view of his MAJESTY. SITTINGBOWINE, SEPTEMBER 24. At this place, as well as on the fine hills near it, immense numbers were assembled, to greet his MA JESTY on his arrival. The reception of the KING equalled in enthusiasm what had previously been ex perienced on the road. The company, all of whom were most genteelly dressed, had neatly and orderly ranged themselves along the sides of the road, and at the windows and balconies of the houses. In Sit tingbourne there were various colours displayed ; and at the Rose Inn, where horses were changed, there was a large flag hung right across the road. In front of the Inn, there were drawn up a small party of Lancers, who constituted the guard of honour. CANTERBURY. The preparations made at this place to give effect to the reception of his MAJESTY, on his entrance into' this fine old city, were most interesting and exten sive. They were worthy of the brave "men of Kent." By twelve o'clock, the doorways and windows of almost every house in the long main-street, were nearly literally covered with fresh and large oak boughs. The effect produced by this novel sight was delightful in the extreme. The street was covered with new gravel. There were several colours sus pended from different windows, as well as various banners, and on some of the Litter were sundry in scriptions :—" The King ;" " The King and Constitu tion, &c. And, by the same hour, the East Kent Yeomanry, under the command of Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL, Bart. M.P. were in attendance, fully equipped. They soon afterwards proceeded along the road to take up their stations, and thence marched to meet his MAJESTY on his approach. They were accompanied by various private Gentlemen on horse back. The crowds assembled, of Ladies as well as Gentlemen, to meet his MAJESTY, were immense.— The Corporation were in attendance soon after noon, but it was intimated to them that time would prevent his MAJESTY from receiving here, as well as else. where, the dutiful Addresses of his loyal subjects. — Having changed horses, his MAJESTY went forward for Ramsgate, where he was to dine with Sir WIL LIAM CURTIS. TROST ANOTHER ACCOUNT. After an anxious expectation of some hours, at about six in the evening his MAJESTY arrived in his travelling carriage, preceded by a detachment of the 9th Lancers, which Regiment had lined the streets from the Guildhall to Westgate, and followed by Captains PARKER, Sir JOHN HONYWoOD, and HAL FORD'S troops of Yeomanry Cavalry, which had met this MAJESTY at Harbledown, and to whom was con fided the honour of escorting him to Sarr, where they were relieved by Lieutenant-Colonel GA R HATT'S troop, which were similarly honoured with the escort to Ramsgate. His MAJESTY passed rapidly through the streets, and halting opposite the Guildhall, for the purpose of changing horses, was received with British cheers by an immense assemblage of the pep ple ; the MAYOR and Corporation being arranged in front of the Hall in their robes, with the emblems of their office, and the mace, which had been previzrr ous i l7 borne on the shoulder, being lowered on his MAJr approach. His MAJESTY seemed much gratified with these marks of attention, and shook hands with some Gentlemen who reached the carriage. After the lapse of a few minutes, the horses being changed, the car riage proceeded with the escort above described for Ramsgate, when the cheers which had scarcely sub sided, were renewed, and continued for some minutes. RAMSGATE, SEPTEMBER 54. As early as seven o'clock this morning preparations were commenced for receiving our gracious KING in the most loyal and becoming manner. The whole of the High-street was gravelled over, and every house had boughs of laurel suspended from its win dows. Several triumphal arches were erected through High-street and Queen-street, and one also at Saint Laurence, a mile and a half from town, by which his MAJESTY had to pass, and though only composed of a pole driven into each side of the street with a spar across it, at the elevation of about twelve or fifteen feet, simply covered with branches of trees, the effect was pleasing. Flags were waving in every direction, and seen through the arches descending the High street, exhibited a most picturesque appearance. In the early part of the morning the principal streets to the Pier were almost impassable, owing to the num ber of waggons which were laden with sand and boughs ; and this difficulty was not much diminished when carriages, tilburies, and vehicles of every other description, occupied their places. About ten o'clock, four companies of the 86th Regiment, under the command of Colonel JOHNSTON; arrived from Chat ham, and a few hours alter were drawn up on the terrace in front, of the house of Sir WILLIAM CURTIS. As the day advanced, the bustle increased, and the preparations for an illumination were everywhere visible. Margate, Sandwich, :and the other neigh bouring towns, seem to have poured all their popula tion into this favoured, and I may add, envied spot. His MAJESTY . S yacht arrived in the Downs in the forenoon, and is expected to reach the Pier in the course of the evening. A boarded pathway has been erected from the Pier-house to where the tide reaches at flood, and hum whence hi) MAJl.syy proposes to will c"TiaesnyAdhfiiAni::::r.treonaboirc; Gta,:rgtiel.e boat Ille Yehus hich steam-boat has be en e n gag e ip c o a t r a t t y l h t i d s v A e ! s af esv wind,v' carriages, i a a k g e et h , and to convey him to Calais or any oth er port which can be most conveniently made. Mosoav Nicnt, S o'CLoce.—When halEp ast E ce arrived, which Was the hour at which it W as sme4 ' his MaJrsry would reach us, consideiable pointment was expressed by the contenances, as well as the observations, or expecting thousands A passin g shower soon followed, and the night was closin g without the welcome approach of our atmtist-cm, !merino. The illumination commenced abo'ot sev en " o'clock, and was more general, more sulki ng, 3 better arranged than any we remember to have wit. nessed for many years past. Many houses were o us , rented with variegated lamps; some displayed s p . propriate transparencies; and the humblest cetta % v.a e evidence of its owner's loyalty. ej Sir WILLIAM CURTIS'S yacht was splendidly 4, tninated ; and the Pier, which was lighted on ba s s, sides, afforded from the upper part of the tow s most striking spectacle. The finest sight, howev er, was that which burst upon the eye as you stood % the Pier. A body of light seemed flowing down, and as if undulating in its passage. The innumerable flags which reached from the topmasts of the s hi ps within the bason to the highest windows of the houses opposite, were flaonting in the wind, and by occa• sionall) intervening with the descending brilliancy, ' added to its richness, and produced a most imposing ' coup cried. We never witnessed more patience, or I greater degree of good humour in so vast a concave.* of persons as was displayed on this occasion. Th ose who had travelled for many miles to catch a glimp s e at their Sovereign, had for more than half an hour ' to remain under very heavy rain ; but the only rer t they expressed was, that they were not now likely ia have their expectations gratified. Ihlf past Lo t A few minutes after eight o'clock, Ins Marian passed through ligh-street and Queen -street, to de splendid residence of Sir WILLIAM Cuitris. Th e Monarch was eBcorted by a party of the Lancersola preceded, and of the Isle of Thanet Yeomanry C a . valry, who followed him. An accident occurred as the Royal carriage turned the sharp angle at the Market-place, by which owed the lamps was broken, and a respectable Getelem a knocked down. On inquiry, however, we find tha this individual sustained no serious injury. Sowed the Cavalry were unhorsed, owing to the depth d sand in the streets, and the very great speed sit! which they were obliged to travel. Had his %Jun arrived before sunset, a Royal salute would have ben fired from the Pier; but that tribute was delayed td next morning, being the usual etiquette under sad circumstances. The Earl of LIVERPOOL was all dal in attendance at Sir WILLIAM Coitus's, togethe with the Lord Chief Justice DALLAS, Mr. Ike Gaanow, Sir Was. CURTIS, and other Gentlemeacf the Deputation, who were in waiting to know siv it would be the Royal pleasure to receive the Moo ing Address, just voted at the Town Hall: " TO TIM KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MA:IESTT. • 44 We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Idba . tans and Visiton of the town of Ramsgate and its Vicinity, bet leave respectfully to approach your Majesty's most sacred Pm son, to testify the unfeigned joy and happiness whitt ye An day experience by your Majesty's having most 'raciest at descended to honour us with your Royal presence.

RAMSGATE. TOESDAT MOIINING, TiE o'cusg. A Royal salute from the guns on the batteries ma the vessels of the Royal squadron, announced tkl morning the presence of his MAJZSTY in this highly fr Toured port. After breakfast his MAJESTY proceeded from the house of the hospitable owner of Cliff Hest to the place of embarkation amidst the loud cheerior of an immense concourse of spectators, who cored every spot which commanded a view of the harbor. His MAJESTY walked with a firm step agillixed in excellent health and spirits. He was Melded ° the shore by the Earl of LIVERPOOL, Lord Clid tice DALLAS, Sir WILLIAM GARROW, Sir Ulan CURTIS, &c. After reaching the Royal George, be MAJESTY remained on deck ; and as the :clothes weighed out to sea, kept his looks fixed on the ail cliffs of Old England, and waved his hat repeat in token of acknowledgment of the loud cheers wind resounded from the shore, mingled with wall prayer for his safe return. DEAL, SEPTEMBER 25. The Royal George yacht passed through the DO about half-past twelve A.M. for Calais, in a most jestic style, with his MAJESTY on board, followed 1 11 the rest of the squadron; and a great number of ply' sure-boats of all descriptions. The squadron chored in Calais Roads at half-past three. • DOVER, SEPTEMBER 25. His MAJESTY, and the attendant squadron , Pa within sight of this town about one o'cloclo:' afternoon.
