r'.: IW • • '',... ••• -- lk,, e ----- •, TO TILE Eilq'Oß OF THE STAR. 1 '6 I. ibi.: SIR—I beg, through the medium of your widely circulated Journal, to express my surprise that the Lapetrator of the late dreadful murder, committ ed the neighbbQQ urbood of Whitechapel, has not yet been ditcover d, or even any clue to lead to a disco. very. Ind eeeedd,, there appears to me some very great defect in the pystem of Police in this district. I my self was k noc ked down in the fields between Mile end and the Commercial-road, by a villain (whom I should know again), in company with others, at seven o'clock in the morning. Some persons coming up prevented their robbing me, as was doubtless their Intention. Scarcely a night, or even a day, passes without robberies of the most daring description:— the persons of several of the depredators are well known, yet they are suffered to be at large with im punity. I have little doubt a vigilant Police might (if not actually detect the murderer of Mr. WILD) at least diminish these depredations. As things are, it is really dangerous to pass through this well-fre quented road, or the vicinity . ; and I beg to suggest to your Readers in this district, 'the expediency of calling a Public Meeting, to consider what steps are advisable to be taken at the present time, as well to bring to justice the murderer, as to prevent these dis tressing and disgraceful occurrences during the ap proaching winter. In hopes that these hints will in, duce others more able than myself to stir in the busi ness, and promising my humble assistance, I remain, Sir, your very obedient servant, Whitechapel-rand, 29th Sept. 1821. J. G. P.S. If a lawless mob break open the house of an individual, and destroy or steal his property, the Hundred will indemnify him for the loss; but if a villain way-lay and deprive him of life, his family (if unprovided for) have no resource, except a generous Public step in and rescue them from impending ruin or distressing poverty. • 'lli h.

The Mouiteur of Sunday contains a Royal Ordi nance for placing the communications with Spain under restrictions, in consequence of the progress which the yellow fever is making in Catalonia and other Spanish provinces. AU communication by land between Catalonia and the Department of the Eastern Pyrennees is interdicted, except by the road of Perthirs ; and the passage by that route is only to be allowed after a strict quarantine and purification. The communications between Spain and the Depart ments of Arnege and the Upper Pyrennees are, for the present, to be wholly closed. In the Departments of the Upper Garonne and the Lower Pyrennecs, the Prefect of each is to fix on one particular road by which the intercourse with Spain may be kept up, under similar preCautionary provisions to those ap pointed in the case of the Department of the Eastern Pyrennees, and all the other roads and lines of com munication are to be absolutely interdicted. It is besides ordered that along the whole of the Spanish frontier a sanatory cordon shall Be established, every attempt at breaking through which is to be repelled ti et armis. An article from Frankfort of the 21. th ult. states, that Malvosia in the Morea, has surrendered by ca pitulation to the Greeks. If this statement be correct, it will be the first capitulation which has been con cluded between the Turks and the Insurgents. Thes saly and Macedonia, it is added, continue to be the theatre of important events, which cause the greatest inquietude to the Ottoman Porte. French 5 per Cents. Saturday, 88 fr. 55 c. Extract of a private letter from Madrid, dated Sep tember 17 :—" The greatest obscurity prevails in re gard to the events which have caused the recal o f General Itiego from his command in Arragon. Ile and all his friends repel, in the most positive manner, the accusation of Republicanism. Saragossa, 'Valen cia, and all the towns in Spain, have displayed great enthusiasm in favour of the General, and loudly blame the Minister, who envelopes in mystery an affair which involves the most illustrious name in our Revo lution. The Spanish emigrants at Bayonne have orga nized a band of 100 armed men to enter Spain,and excite the inhabitants against the Constitutional system. It is to be presumed that their efforts will very little avair Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of CLAnzscs arrived in town from Bushy. Their Royal High nesses visited the Princess SOPHIA, at Kensington, and afterwards returned to Bushy. _ His Excellency Lieutenant-General Sir THOMAS Timmy, Bart. G.C.B. Commander-in-Chief of the Madras army, and suite, may be expected at Ports mouth in the course of a very few days, on board his Majesty's shipALLIGATOR,which sailedfrom India the end of May. We have already mentioned that a reduction in the Revenue eruizers is about to take place. The individuals employed on board them, it is said, will be added to the Preventive, or Wa ter-guard, which is to be augmented. THE KING'S PROGRAMS. LILLE, SEPTEMBER 27. About five o'clock last night the cannon of the citadel announced the arrival within our walls of his Britannic MAJESTY. The Marquis de JUMILLAC had returned from Calais at four o'clock ; he afterwards mounted on horseback, and went out at the head of all the Officers of his Staff towards the Fauxbourg de la Barre, to receive the Kato, and attend him on his entrance into the city. A slight accident procured to the inhabitants of Lisle the pleasure of seeing his MAJESTY in an open caleche. About a hundred steps from the barrier, the springs of his MAJESTY ' S carriage got out of order, and the body falling off its level, stopped the horses. The caleche of Madame de LAmAtatz fol-, lowed that of the KING ; this Lady alighted, and had the honour of resigning it to his MAJESTY.- An immense multitude attended the cavalcade. His MAJESTY was received with the liveliest acclama tions, which he acknowledged in a most affecting manner. The Kura alighted at the Hotel de r Europe, where he was received by the principal Authorities. — The Rate Bane, in which this Hotel is situated, has been constantly filled with the crowds of people, anxious to get a sight of the English SOVEREIGN. The bands of the - garrison performed during the whole night select symphonies and military airs. His MAJESTY set out this mot ning for Brussels. ROYAL SQUADRON. HASTINGS, OCTOBER 2. This moment, at half-past five o'clock past meri dian, the Royal Squadron, returning from Calais, consisting of two frigates, a sloop of war, and gun brig; with the Royal George yacht, appeared off Hastings, bound to the westward, within a mile and a half of the shore, producing a grand, magnificent, and interesting sight, from having been the same ships which safely escorted and conducted our most gracious and beloved MoNAncti to a foreign land. THE ARMY. This morning the Zd Regiment of Infantry (Buffs) passed through London, with their band playing and colours flying, headed by their Commanding Officer, Lieutenant-ColonelTuoax. The men had a fine, clean, and healthy appearance. The Regi ment received the route a few days ago to proceed toWoolwich. The conduct of the Officers and men, during their stay at Dun stable, where the orders were received, was the subject of general praise. The Cornwall Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry assembled at Helaton this day, for six days permanent duty. BRIGHTON, OCTOBER 1. A.whimsical event attended the return of Lord and Lady Srewaar, after the joyous entertainment at the Barracks on Wednesday. His Lordship had given a dinner to the subordinates of the 10th Dra goons : it was sumptuous, and the corks from about forty dozen of good old port were drawn to regale them, besides punch, and strong beer, ad libitum.— When the grateful veterans, therefore, at ten o'clock, had taken the horses from his Lordship's carriage, in their own persons to supply their places, many of their Officers expressed strong objections to the mea sure, apprehensive that they were too high in spirits for a steady performance of the task. • The soldiers at first gave way, for there are none in the service who shew more respect and obedience to their Corn manders than those of the 10th, and the measure might have been abandoned, bUt for an expedient as suddenly formed as lively and sportive in its effect —the Officers objecting to the displacing of the horses, were severally seized, and raised above the shoulders of the loyal veterans, and, in despite of themselves, were thus borne on the ground, in front of the Barracks, amidst the loudest acclamations, and the general chorus of 4 , GOD save the Ring:— While this was going forward, another party of sol diers managed his Lordship's barouche, and the gra- , tifying result was, as we have previously stated, the safe and happy return of his Lordship and Lady to the York Hotel. It was impossible to be angry with the brave fellows, for the means they took to evince their attachment to their esteemed Chief. The affair has been the cause of much merriment to the whole corps since. Lord STEWART had given such generous orders for the entertainment of the Regiment on Wed nesday, that three or four hogsheads of humming stingo remained untouched until the following day, when, in their broaching, another cause for merriment ensued. Not a dispute, nor an unpleasant occurrence, marked the joyous proceedings from first to last. SIR ROBERT WILSON.—On the refusal of the High Bailiff to call a Meeting relative to the dismissal of Sir ROBERT WILSON, an application was made to the LORD MAYOR, whose jurisdiction extends to that part of Southwark to which the Town Hall appettains.— His Lordship complied with the desires of the Gen tlemen that waited upon him ; and yesterday ap- pointed Ft Way next, at the Town Hall, at one o'clock, I for the Meeting. - CONCILIATION. -- DUBLIN, SEPTEMBER 28.—1 t seems that a complaint was made to Mr. GRANT, that the Lisburn Yeomanry, on the 25th ult. indulged themselves, and offended the Public, by playing cer tain irritating party tunes. Mr. GRANT answered the communication by the following letter : " Dublin Castle, Sept. 26, 1821. " Sit—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 25th ult. and to thank you for the trouble you have taken in conveying the information it contained, whichi lost no time in submitting to the Lord Lieutenant. His Excellency having accordingly directed an immediate communication to be held with the Brigade Major of Yeomanry, in the view to the special investigation of the matter, his Excellency has the satis faction to find, from his reply, that the tunes in question were inadvertently played, without any intention of giving offence • but such instructions have been issued as will, it is expected, fully guard against a like occurrence In future.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, " Wm. John• Hancock, Esq. Lisburn. " C GRANT." CROYDON FAIL—The grand Walnut Mart com menced yesterday, and, according to annual custom, the general bill of fare throughout the town, at every I public•house, was roast pork, highly seasoned for lthe dealers. SOUTH AMERICA. VALPARAISO, MAY 1. TO THE MINISTER OF THE MARINE. To-day, at one o'clock, r. sr. anchored the ship Thais. From the Captain of the port I have receivddi the following information: The English ship Thais, 450 tons, Captain Al bert Robinson, is just now anchoring, coming from the coast of Peru. He brings the news that the best spirit is said to exist throughout Peru, and that the cry is Independence, or death I' The Captain also states, that the frigates Prueba and Venganza had left Ceno And, where they had been for a long time." EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM PORT-AU-PRINCE, DATED AUGUST 8. ~.~ " Two days ago the cruizers of this Government brought into port two small vessels, filled with des peradoes, who were fitted elut expressly for capturing an American schooner that sailed from here lately, with fifty or sixty thousand dollars on board, bound to Philadelphia. Had these pirates succeeded in their object, it is probable they would have murdered every person on board the American schooner. These pirates are foreigners, chiefly from New Orleans: amongst them are nine white men." COLUMBIA. The Press already spreads its powerful light over the South American regions, in proportion as free dom accomplishes her triumph over despotism.— Since May of the present year, three - Public Journals have been published in the Colombian Republic, be side those that had been previously established there. At Santa Martha, The Gazette of Santa Martha. At Maracaibo, The Correo National. At Cucuta, The Equatorial. All those papers are printed much superior in manner to the papers of the United States thirty years ago, and to the papers of England, which how sur pass all the world, eighty years ago. Such being the progress, what may . not be expected from all South America and Mexico, as free from Royal ty ranny as Colombia now is. COLOMBIAN REPUBLIC. FROM THE AURORA, SEPTEMBER 3. 'e have received the Gazette of Santa Martha, down to the 23d of June. The latest number con tains copious minutes of the proceedings of the Co lombian Congress assembled at Cucuta, and an in teresting letter addressed by President Bolivar (al ready before the Public), relinquishing into the hands of the National Representatives, the authority with which he had been so long invested, and assigning his motives for declining to resume that station, should Congress be disposed to reinvest him. This act appears to have been seriously and long deliberated, since, upon recurring to the official ac count of the battle of Calabozo, of the 24th June last, it appears that the President, exercising the high powers-with which he was invested, had placed General Paez in the chief command of the army.— That battle placed the Colombian Republic free and unrestrained by foreign armies, and the occasion which presented itself, and which indeed appears to have given unusual energy to the conflict, presented the fairest occasion, which even on the field of vic tory was seized upon. The conduct of President Bolivar on this occa- , sion verifies the predictions of those who knew him ' best, and completes the renown, which will be as durable as the country to which he has devoted him- I self, and the history of its vicissitudes, sacrifices, suf ferings, self-denials, constancy, and its triumphs—a people, in fact, whom it is but truth to say, that his I genius and disinterestedness have regenerated and I prepared for the independence to which he has led them. Perhaps there is another trait that is not less to be admired—the selection of General Paez. A man of primitive purity of mind and habits—se cond only to Bolivar, in the general esteem of their countrymen. We have frequently felt an inclination to review the career of this great man, having abundant, though not very connected materials. We have seen in some European print the following lines, which are certainly both beautiful and true : 4 4 Vicit miles, visit et obiit this WASININCTOY, . " Pattiz libertatem, vindieat arnds Boman dux et civb. - However much we admire the firmness and the magnanimity of this latest step of President Bolivar, we certainly consider the step premature. His expe rience of affairs in the actual state of the Republic, before its Constitution has yet received even its cha racteristic form; and still more, there is something due from him to the other parts of South America— the south and the north look to the Colombian Re- public—from promised aids, counsels, and co-ope ration, which, as a private citizen, he could trot so effectually render as in that station where he has been, in fact, the soul of the Revolution. Not that we suppose that Colombia is wattling of capable and good men—experience has proved that, however severe her losses in such men as Palacias, Roscio, and the gallant and intelligent Cadenio, and an hun dred others ; that when occasions have required men, the occasion has created them, or found them Created for great occasions. We shall, perhaps, consider this subject more at large at a future day; we shall now give a short sketch from the Santa Martha Gazette, of the Congressional proceedings, and President 80. livar's letter. MAY 10.—Congress has been hitherto employed in the affairs of the internal administration, and the organization of those affairs which may be denomi nated national ; this Congress being, in fact, the first complete and effective assembly of Representatives from the several Departments of the whole Republic. The first measure after the organization of the Assembly itself, was the confirmation, by an express resolution, of the appointment of the President and Vice-President of the Republic, and the continuance of their functions until the Constitution should be de termined, and its forms established permanently. The 14th of May was assigned for the discussion of the fundamental principles of the Government, and the distribution of its functions and powers. For the definitive union of Cundinamarca and Venezuela. And for the Constitutional means of promoting t he permanent unign and prosperity of the wh o l e the Provinces. A communication was received by Congress from President Bolivar, in which, after sig n if y i n homage and obedience to the Soverei gn authot his n , the People vested in Congress, he inti mates a ''* to be relieved from the high trusts with which be}, been hitherto honoured by the confidence o f 'al is low-citizens, which was referred. MAT 17.—Congress was this day e ngaged in mil Committee on the state of the nation; the fit system came first under deliberation, 4 n d a co , c tion of information of every kind on t h e public " e e sources ; the amount of every spedes i er T Im r : the annual expenditures, past and finite; and means of fixing their administration upon w h o l e .: foundations, and rendering the system pe rns a i ;n: equal, and efficient. Many important topics were brought up a * at this sittingamong others, the appointment of ttakt. ing Committees to examine and report upon t h e l iefent points of the Constitution, and the vari ous Ixa jects which had been preented to Congress. Ti Committees to be distinct from tho'e previously e z a ing which have charge of public business. Congress has also had under discussion, the est 3. blishment of the rules and orders for conducting ti lt :, deliberations and debates; in which there api:ear e i I to be a perfect acquaintance with the fo rms 25 1! lusages of other Representative bodies in differ/ se parts of the world. The mode cf proceeding in 14 'initiation of laws—the presentation of propositions.. the digestion of propositions as the bars Of IXW , , It was determined that all projects of laws should 4 first presented in the form of a resolution expressil the object proposed, and upon debate, if can i e d the affirmative, that leave he given to bi ing in a4l or project of a law—the resolution to be presenki by the mover in writing, and delivered to the p m siding Officer of Congress—that after hearing th proposer of a measure, other members shall beheii —that the absolute majority of members present e Fd decide—that projects of laws shall be couched ie simple terms, conforming strictly to the motifs asj tenor of the initiatory resolution—that when a on, tion of any kind is before the Chamber, no oth ers% be admitted prior to its being disposed of—thc a motion shall preclude the necessary debate-de the votes shill not be called until the debate Ed have been closed-.-that votes shall be given inafid rotation, viva voce. _ _ These, and a variety of other particulars, wbirii is not necessary to recapitulate, as they correspci with the form of all legislative bodies, in free Suit this subject had occupied more than one sitting.
