1 . ' - FOR THE STAR• EXTRACT OP A LITTER DATRO SANTIAGO DI CH'ILI, NOVEMBER 20, 1821. The Government of this country is Moceeding with the utmost regularity ; the best proof I can give von r;f which is, that their paper, which might have been b , ..urht at 70 to 75 per cent. is now at 95 Fer cent. and as the whole of their paper afloat does not amount to 100.000 dollars, i t w ill be extinguished by duties before the end of another year. • Columbian Stock in demand at 556 to 831 Old Bonds - - 10711 to 108 ' 44 It being expected that the different Courts of Europe will follow the example of the United States, in acknowledging this Government, there are scarcely any sellers of this stock.' sr THE EVEN VG STAR.

Although the Government of the United States' has been the first to recognize the independence at Spanish America, yet it •has done it in so tardy, in gracious, and selfish a manner, as to give it little claim to a commercial preference with the new Re publics. Indeed it would appear surprising that the United States should so long have delayed to do an act of such justice and apparent policy, did we not know that the affected neutrality of the Government of Washington was not one of principle, but for the purpose of getting the Floridas from Spain; but now that this has been effected—since the power of the South American Provinces is admitted, and the in ability of Spain to recover any influence on the west of the Atlantic is is no longer any reason for refraining from an act which generosity at first might have dictated, and which obvious self-in terest now requires. _ _ _ Buenos Ayres has been independent for the last twelve years—Chili has not acknowledged any of the Spanish Authorities for the last five—the Colonies of Terra Firma have ben► in a state of resistance to the mother country for more than ten years--4nde pendent of her nearly two—and for more than two years the same spirit has animated the Provinces north of the Gulf of Mexico. In every quarter the preponderance of actual force over antiquated claims was striking and manifest. Of all, this the Govern ment of Washington was fully aware ; since it sent Commissioners to the States of La Plata and to the Provinces of the Pacific to examine their re sources and to ascertain the means of asserting their independence ; but although the most satisfactory ac counts were transmitted by their agents, yet the United States Government evaded the recognition of their independence until the negotiation with Spain for the cession of the Floridas was concluded and full possession taken of these Provinces. The reports of these Agents, and the instructions by.which they were empowered to act, form part of the papers transmitted, along with the Passtnaree Message, to the Congress, a copy of which we gave in the STAR of Tuesday last. These documents pos sess little interest, except as chewing the cunning po licy of the Government of the United States in their diplomatic dealings. In a letter from the Secretary of State, Mr. QUINCY ADAMS to a Mr. J. FORM, in.. structing him to proceed to Buenos Ayres or Chili, the task, and requisite qualifications of an Agent of the United States' Government, are thus stated : 4 , As a Citizen of the United States, the first advice I shall Ove you is to observe and report, with all the vigilance, and dis cernment, and penetration, aniffidelity to your country, that you possess, the movements of all parties, but to make yourself a partizan to none. It is well known that a negotiation of mach longer standing has existed between the same Government and Portugal ; nor has Mr. Ribadavia been residing two or three yeah to no purpose In Ragland. To ascertain the real move merits of all these parties, a neutral position, a warner /earl, and an observing mind, are indispensable.' Notwithstanding all the information collected by -the Government of Washington, before it recognized the independence of Spanish America, we under stand that an oaioial correspondence took place be - United Stites'Agept at'Buenos Ayres and • who at present stands at the head of The French Papers of Saturday have been received. Then contents possess little interest. On Friday, the Chamber of Deputies was engaged in a discussion on the system of the Post Office. M. GIRARDIN condemned the system, as a crimi nal violation of all confidence. He further contended, that the diminution of the Revenue of the Post Office this year, was to be ascribed to the repugnance of in dividuals to pass their communications with their dis tant friends through the Post Office. The Minister VILLZLE admitted the hardship to in., dividuals which this practice brought on, and stated, that nothing but the paramount cause—the interest of the whole, could justify such a measure. M. For proposed to suppress the office of Direc tor-General of the Post Office, and leave the admi nistration of the duty in the hands of five officers, with a view to the inviolability of letters. The following are extracts from these Papers: PARIS, APRIL 15. The accounts from Germany are of a warlike corn plesion. The two Ministers of Russia who are at Vienna see the Ministers of the Emperor of Austria •err frequent, and the intimacy between the two Courts appears to increase since the resolution of the Divan was known. A private letter from Bucharest, of the 12th of March, says, "We are still in a most dreadful situa tion; Jassy has just become the prey of the flames: the same deplorable fate is perhaps reserved for us. Not a day passes but what is marked by murders and partial fires: the day before yesterday a whole fa mily was massacred in the suburbs, and after the Turks had plundered the house, they set it on fire.— In a tumult a Turkish spahi lost his life.. This death has been cruelly avenged on innocent Christians, of whom several have been killed and tinny mutilated- The shops are still open, in consequence of the strict j orders of the Pacha, but thdre are few goods in them, and commerce is absolutely reduced to nothing, for who would speculate when nobody can be sure of being alive the next day ?" The intelligence from Madrid, which is up to the date of the 2d of April, confirms the appointment of Senor Valdes as the successor of Riego to the Presi dency of the Cortes. The proposition of Senor Ramirez Avellano was read the second time, for punishing the authors of the cry of " The absolute King for ever"—if Spaniards, with death or some other suitable punishment: and if foreigners, with deportation, after having laboured a year in the mines. The Strasburg Courier of the 9th of April states, that several Officers had been just arrested there. immense country. When, in 1819, . _ Speranski was appointed his successor, he received at the same time orders to make a Report on all the existing abuses. This was done; and the Emperor referred the Report to the examination of a Commission, of which Count Kotschubi was President, and in which the two Ministers, Count Guriew and F. Golitzen, General Count Araktschejeio, and Privy Councillors Speranski and Campenhausen had a seat and a vote. The result of their investigation, confirmed by the Emperor, is, that 678 Civil Officers in Siberia have been removed, punished, or reprimanded. Without going into the catalogue of their trans. gressions (which is indeed printed and published. but not generally circulated), we observe that the chief inculpations were-Ist. Exaction and monopoly. in supplying the Siberian Governments with grain-2d. Peculation, in the making of roads, ana in calculating the contributions of the country-3d. Embezzlement in levying the tribute of the subject tribes-4th. Em bezzlement to the detriment of the Colonies, &c. &c. and that, in consequence of the Emperor's confirma tion, the late Governorof Siberia, Pestel, is discharged from the service, 1 , because be had remained 12 years absent from the scene of his official duties, and, by this long absence, left ample room for these evil prac tices." That the Governor of Irkutzk, M. Treskin, is given over to justice ; and the Governor of Tomsk, a. Illichewiky, to be dismissed from his office, and referred, with his defence, to the Senate. In the Ukase there follows the other 675 Officers, with their names.—The attentive observer of the Russian administration of justice will find this Ukase extending to so large a number of individuals with the most just severity. VIRNNA, APRIL t. The metalliques were yesterday 74 5-16ths.—Bank Shares, 664 9 sths.—To-day they are 74 11-19ths, and 664 7-10 tbs. We expect about the 18th or 20th of April the re turn of the courier who was dispatched on the 19th of March with the Note of the Reis Effendi, which our Court refused to receive. The friends Of peace Satter themselves that he will bring back the news of a change in the dispositions of the Porte. The courier dispatched by M. de Tatischeff to St. Peters burgh, will return to Vienna about the same time. Charleston Papers arrived this morning to the 15th March. PROM THS PAPER ON THE 14TH MARCH. By the Jane, BrWur.tax, we have received Havannab Papers of the 3d instant. The United States brig Enterprise is busily employed in conveying vessels in and out of liavannah, and sees them safe off the coast of Cuba. BIM CALCUTTA. The return of the pilot-boats yesterday morning from the search for the wreck of the Calcutta, and the report from them that it was seen with no living creature in it, caused the most despond ing fears that the whole of the men on board bad perished; and indeed such apprehensions were too well grounded to admit al most of a hope: but the appearance yesterday, about one o'clock, of the pilot-boat Caroline, with an ensign lying at her main, with a crowded deck, raised the spirits of the citizens, and all was anxiety till she came near enough to the shore to proclaim her good fortune, that she had brought the whole of the people from the deck. Under Hzsvzx, the crew of the Calcutta owe their safety to the strength of that vessel; she bore the violence of the breakers for nearly 40 hours, during awful weather; when the men were taken off, she began to break up in her quarter-deck. The letters received from Norfolk and Suffolk this morning are far from being satisfactory. Two men were executed at Norwich on Saurday, for firing a stack-yard at Dissi a few weeks ago. One of them died very penitent, but the other was in good spirits, and attempted to justify his conduct. On Friday there was a great riot at Wrentham, close to the pro. petty of Sir T. Goocn. An express was sent to Nor wich for the Lancer s , and their interference dispersed the assemblage. Mr. GOOCH, the Member for the County, and Chairman of the late Committee of the House of Commons on Agricultural Distress, was present, and read the Riot Act himself. A General Meeting of the County of Norfolk will probably be soon called, to petition for Parliamentary Reform, as a Requisition to the Sheriff* is in the course of signa ture. The first name on it is the patriotic . Lord Sup-' Flat% Mr. COKE, and almost every Gentleman of any consequence, signed it last Saturday, at Norwich. rAtIDOP Tawrans.—TheWtnter Houses are in future to close by the end of June and not to U pea until the 15th of October. The Little Theatre is to open about the end of May, or beginning of Juue, and to cease performances by the 15th of October.— All the restrictions upon performefs at Drury-lane, and Covent garden, preventing them from playing at the Haymarket, are M b, taken off. All the Minor Theatres are to be brought strictly back to their original rules, and their licenses confined to the exhibition of spectacle, and to recitative in dialogue. Daum-Latex TIULATRi.-•—IIOADLEY'S Comedy of the Suspi cious Husband was produced last night, In which Mrs. Gwent made her first appearance this season in the character of Clarinda. Her performance was extremely spirited, and rendered defi ciencies, of any sort, unobservable. Mr. COOIPZIL also appeared for the first time as Frankly, and was highly respectable • and Mr. Ettisron's Ranger was altogether a very judicious a nd ef fective performance. Cove . r.r-GAantrt.—By a inundate deviation from the Usual routine of performances here, a Tragedy of SUAGSPEAIIII was played last night. Mr. YOUNG represented Macbeth for the first time since his return to the London hoards. lie exhibited throughout a rare union of fine conception, with graceful and energetic execution. The dagger and banquet scenes, and the whole of the fifth Act, were remarkable for discrimination, power, and passion, displayed not only in the variations of vnice and countenance, ,but in attitudes singularly picturesque and ex pressive. The applause was cordial and frequent. Mrs. Faxen was the Lady Macbeth, and surpassed our expectations. She was, mostly admired in the sleeping scene, and hi dismissing the guests front the supper. Hr. Amply performed 3facshaf with much credit to himself and satisfaction to the House, and a fuller one than list evening is seldom seen anywhere. 7-T -- ARION7IIIII, APRIL , Or% Air an almost constant seism at the Ave sienths, during which time his M A . di bas been unWobta. and his spirits, the health, every way cheerful, will certainly sllllllollht a few days; his departure will *saint of gented but unsvailing *gri t . • and his suite slim Divine Service in Private Cbapei• yesterday.

It is also said that orders have been transmitted to the Turkish army occupying the right bank of the Da nube, to pass that river at several points, and enter Bessarabia (where the Russian military force is not considerable), and take possession of that province in the name of the Porte, before the armies are enabled to assemble. The Grand Seignior wilt head his troops in person. The Grand Vizier, the Reis Ef fendi, and the new Aga of the Janissaries, are the chiefs of the party which has decided for war." AUGSBURG, APRIL 7. Extract of a commercial letter from Constanti nople, of the 11th March : " The report of war has made the little money we had in circulation disappear. The Porte has transmitted to the Ministers of Austria and England a remarkable Note, which was for Warded to Vienna on the sth inst. In this Note the Porte commences with enumerating in detail all the complaints that she has had against Russia since 1811, and concludes with promising to accede to the demands of Russia. Various opinions are entertained respecting this Note, which some consider as a declaration of war, and others as giving hopes that-peace may be preserved. The intention of Russiaappears to be to occupy Mol davia and Wallachia, if the Turks do not evacuate . those Provinces." French Funds, April 18, Five per Cent. Consols, 86 Ir. 85 c. 80fr. 75 c.
