'Mr. PAWED: further r.dr.litted, that he was informed by Mr. Pin* Net it was his with to put the Church in mourning for her late f%lajesty, and that I.e ( Mr. Parkin) replied that he had better put the town in inhuming, or words to that effect, as there were no orders for a ger.:ral mourning--That the Cloth was taken down with the knoWledre of the Rector, though he could not say that he gave his consent thereto, but that he in formed him he wot.ld not hat: given consent to its being put up had be known that Mr - .

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1821. AT a MEETING of GENTLEMEN at the Globe Tavern, Fleet -street, on the 31st August, 1891, JOAN BLADES, Esq. in the Chair, Resolved, That the conduct of the Life Guard., on all occa sions when they have been called upon. to support the Civil Paver, hasoLen distinguished by gre.tt forbearance, good tem per, and discipline. That, in *the recent Disturbances, these qualities were dis played in an eminent degree, al:hough, whge employed In the discharge of their duty, they were exposed to unmanly insults, and most brutal assaults, on the part of the Populace. Thal, bad they availed themselves to its full extent of their undoubted right to resort to their weapons in self-defence, the carnage of that day must have been dreadful, and great numbers would have fallen the sacrifice to their just resentment. That, while their behaviour entitles them to the admiration and gratitude of the Public, they have, on the contrary, been ungenerously misrepresented, maliciously libelled, and almost denied those legal privileges which, as Englishmen, they have a right to enjoy in common with all their Countrymen. That it appears listen undoubted evidence that not less than thirty-seven of the detachment employed en the 14th of Augest were then wounded, and were placed under the Sageon's care, of whom three had their limbs fractured. That, to manifest the sense which Is entertained by and peaceable part of the community of the merit and value of• their services, a Public Subscri?tion be opened, to remunerate such of the Military as suffered injury by the attack of the Populace on the 11th of August. That, after a sufficient compensation, in the opinion of the Committee, has been made to the Soldiers who have sustained bodily injury in the late Disturbances, the surplus of the mono./ raised shall be given to the Regimental fund of the Ist Regi ment of Life Gnat ds, instituted fur the comfort of the Privates and their Fandies. That the following Gentlemen be appointed to act as a Com mittee, to apply the Subscriptions according to the ptecedirg Resolutions, with powa to add to :heir numbers: JOHN BLADES, Esq.

We announced on Saturday the arrival at Ports mouth, on Friday, of his Majesty's ship A NDRO• MACHE, Captain SHIRREFF, having on board the Lady and family of the late Viceroy of Lima; also Lady Cochrane and flunily. Letters have been re ceived by this conveyance from Lima, Chili, and Rie de Janeiro: from Lima, also, are transmitted the Bul letins of the Expeditionary Army to the sth of April. It appears from them that nothing decisive had taken place since the last intelligence from that quarter.— 'The army under General San Martin had its head quarters at Hnaura ; the left wing was extended to Palpa, and the right leaned on Ancou, where the transports were moored, under the protection of the ships of war. The Royal party had a camp at Arna puquio, and the military revolution, which placed La Serna at its head, is hailed by General San Martin as an event favourable to the cause. of independence. The Royalist party, it should, however, be stated, draw the contrary inference from that event. The trifling skirmishes that have occurred invariably ter minated in favour of the Chilians, as represented in the Bulletins, whi, h add, that the army was in the highest spirits and discipline, abundantly supplied with provisions, and cheerfully supported by the inha bitants. It was said, in fact, to have the command of the whole country, a small circle round Lima excepted. The Royalists, on the other hand, boast of their superiority, and speak with confidence of an attack meditated on San Martin's position at Huaura. Two' detachments had left Lima, for the purpose of cut ting off his communication with Pisco, while Gene neral Canterac, with the main body, were moving directly on Huaura. The Aranzaju, Spanish schooner of war, and the Europa merchant brig, had been cap tured by Lord Cochrane's cruizers ; but his blockade had been infringed by a British vessel, which got safe into Callao. Pezuela, the Ex-Viceroy of Peru, had been detained in prison from the period of his deposition. The Andromache has brought from Lima more than one million of dollars in specie. From Valparaiso, the advices brought by the Andromache are dated the 9th of May, and relate chiefly to the British vessels sent there by Lord Cochrane, on sus picion of having Spanish property on board, and de tained for adjudication. No decision had taken place, but great hopes are entertained of a favourable result, from the interference of Sir Thomas Hardy, who, after hearing the statements of the British Captains on the subject, felt it of so much importance as to be induced to sail immediately for Lima, in the Creole frigate, in order to have a personal conference with Lord Cochrane. _ _ _ Sir'Thomas Hardy is said to have declared to the Commanders of the British ships, previously to his departure, that, in its relation to the interests of Bri tish commerce, he considered it a question of the highest importance ; and that, should Lord Cochrane acquire a right to detain, and the Chilian Govern ment to condemn, British vessels under such circum stances, it would prove a most serious impediment to our trade in that quarter: He should therefore use his exertion to place it on a different footing.— Sir T. Hardy was expected to return to Valparaiso by the end of May. The latest date from l&iio de Janeiro is the 13th of July. The privateers in that quarter, under the flag of Buenos Ayres, had cap tured several Spanish vessels. Among others was the Maipo brig of war, with the Deputies from Lima to the Spanish Cortes on board. Another brig of , war was taken off Ponte. Negro by the same priva teet, with much. specie on board. The Morgianit PRICE Royal corvette of Rio, bad arrived from Bahia wit't a slave ship as prize, which had been detectd lit pursuing that trathc to the North of the Line, and was, therefore, subject to condemnation by the mixed Commission. Rio de - Janeiro was apparently tran quil, but it was believed that a design was on foot to abridge further the powers of the Prince Regent, by making him a mere President ofthe Provisional Junta. The following is the maritime force of Spain em ployed in defence of Callao, on the 9:h of April: 1821—(Those marked • are armed merchant vessets): l'rueba, 46, Don Jose Villegas; Vengaoza„ 3ts, Don Juan So. raa, at Acapulco, or Mowery, in California ; Sebastian* (in or dinary), 26, Commander.in-Chief Don Antoni, Vacaro; 'Re solution and • Milago, with the brig •Pezurll, moored in we lire, with about twenty large gun-boats, some carryi::g long tt,tmy. , four pounders and sixty men. This force, if actively employed, {ion) the srevnit ing calms in the bay, ought to prevent any of the Chilian squadron from anchoring under the island of San Lorenzo; but from extreme inactivity, they only serve to amuse nentrals who may be lying iii the say.

Timandy, has arrived here float Honduras and the Havannah, in 3(i days. The Captain says that at his departure .500 men were embarking on board three transports for Vera Cruz, and that the Descu brista corvette had arrived front Terra Firma at Caraccas. ITAVANNATT, JULY 3. A letter from Mexico (of which the substance is subjoined) gives an idea of the situation of New Spain, and proves how necessary the succour is Thr which application has been made to the GovernMent by the Segall& Gallega schooner, dispatched frogs Vera Cruz direct.. A similar application has been made here, arid in a few days 300 or 400 then hwie enlisted again, till such time as Vera Cruz shall re ceive succour in troops, and for the sole purpose of defending that place, which is the depot of 12 or 13 millions in goods and money, chiefly belonging to the merchants at Cadiz, who have therefore the greatest interest in doing everything to procure the most speedy aid, in order to save such great property, and to baffle the wicked attempts of those falsely called independents. The abovementioned letter is dated Mexico, 29th May. It states, that a Proclamation is going to be published, desiring all those who can serve at their own expense to take arms to preserve the peace of the capital, while the European► troops, in whom the greatest confidence is placed, ate to form four bodies to defend the city from without, if an enemy should approach. The letter mentions no military occur rences since the death of Hevia, and the loss of Puerte de Rey, Jalappa, and Valladolid. This last place having capitulated on condition that the garrison should take what part they pleased, six hundred Eu ropean soldiers were marching to Mexico, where they are to arrive on the 30th of May. It seems to be ir. tended to concentrate the Royal troops near the capi tal, and to preserve that as the key of the kingdom. Concha is ordered from Pachuca with his division, Sammiego with his, and Marquez with his, which consists of 2000 of the best troops that have come from Spain. San Luis, Zaratucar, province of Gua dalajara and Durango, are not yet invaded ; and if the 'Viceroy sends to General truz the one thousand European troops which he so ardently solicits, it may be expected that with them, and four thousand others, whom he has encamped in the line of Arandas and • Lagos, he will be inexpugnable, and able to defeat ' the foolish plans of independence; but, as far as ap ' pears, it is not likely that a soldier will be sent him, ' the folly and perverse self-love still continuing which have caused all our evils. There is no doubt that Cruz has made an armistice with Iturbide, by which the latter engages not to commit hostilities against the district under his com mand, till an answer arrives from Spain to the Com mander of the Independents. Perhaps the same may happen to us ; and in some respects it would not be amiss, as it would give time for fresh troops, and the new Viceroy, so much desired, to arrive from Spain. Iturbide is said to have 4,500 or 5,000 men, in cluding those that went over to him from This would not matter if the Government had any energy, which it has not. All this misfortune is owing to the lenity shewn to the regenerators at the beginning; if exemplary punis h ment had been in flicted, the rebellion would not have attained such a height. MADRID AUGUST 16. A Spanish brigantine, El Soberano, has arrived at Malaga, in :36 days from the flavannah. Those on board say, that before they sailed a schooner had ar rived from Vera Cruz with dispatches to the Govern ment, stating that Vera Cruz and Mexico were be sieged by the Insurgents, and that the crews of as the vessels in the port had been taken to rnan the batteries ; and that it was absoltr.ely necesat y that speedy aid should be sent from the Havaanah, the distress being extreme. The same persons tote, that it was found impossible at the I lavannah to give the aid desired, though the Government took every means: Ditty-three soldiers and two or three Officers came passengers in the brigantine, whose time t.f service was finished, and who ref.rx to enlist again, though very large offers were made t!:em. These accounts being less favourable than tho e brought by the Graciosa, which sailed within a few hours of the same time as the Suberano, makes it dif ficult to reconcile t'.l(: two accounts. We hope Mexico is not besieged, as we have letters freini that place of the sOth, liter by at day than thut.e by the Gracio-a.
