AIMA.='...LOkD OCHRANX. Saturday morning the HYPERION frigate, Captain T. SRA RLE, C.B. arrived at Portsmouth from the South Seas, after a very short passage of ninety-six days from Callao, having on board specie to the amount of £500,000, belonging to British merchants.' She did not fall in with any vessel for six weeks, nor see land after leaving Callao until she arrived off the Lizard. The intelligence she brings respecting the operations of Lord CoceitANE and General SAN MARTIN against Lima, is such as to lead to a con fident expectation that long ere this the capital of Peru has fallen into their possession. SAN MARTIN had taken up such a position, within about 16 miles of the place, as enabled him-to cut off most of the supplies, and where he had been joined by nume rous parties of deserters from the Royalists, including most part of the regiment of Numantia, which had marched across the country from the Caraccas, pur posely for the defence of the city. This state of affairs on the land side was powerfully aided by the bold and successfql operations of Lord COCHRANE on the coast. His Lordship had cut out the Spanish frigate Esmeralda, and two gun-brigs, from under the forts of Callao; and having appointed Captain Guise to her, he subsequently proceeded with her and the 01-liggins, Captain CROSBY, in search of the Preuba and Veganza frigates. His Lordship had also recently taken two ships from Cadiz, laden with ordnance stores and clothing. These successes, com bined with the daring spirit with which they were executed, had very much dispirited the Spaniards at Lima. His Lordship's attack on the Esmeralda and ,Spanish force in Callao, is represented as one of the most brilliant achievements ever effected. The ships were all secured by chain moorings, defended by the strong forts of Callao, and several tiers of old ships, armed as block-ships, which were manned every night from the forts. His Lordship headed the at lacking parties, which consisted of about 200 men, and by his foresight and undaunted bravery over came all opposition. The attack was made in the I night, whilst the Hyperion and the American frigate Macedonian lay about two cables length distance. Several shot struck the Macedonian ; and one man was killed in her. Lord CbCH RANE received a shot through the fleshy part of the thigh, and he had about twenty-five men killed and wounded. The Spaniards suffered more severely. His Lordship was recovered from the effects of the wound. The Spa niards in the ships were all at their quarters, fully prepared for the attack, and resisted nobly; but, on shore, the Peruvians shewed such a dastardly spirit, that, on the rockets flying about, they would have all left the city, had not the horse soldiers been em rployed to prevent them. The Macedonian left Callao on the 11th December, for Valparaiso, as which port the Andromache, Captain SHIRREPF, was lying under repair. The latter would sail for England shortly. At the commencement of the daring attack, the Hy perion and the United States' frigate Macedonian, were lying in the roads, •but both ships got under weigh, and stood out to sea. The populace on shore, however, imagining that these ships had aided Lord I COCHRANE, were so much enraged, that communi- I cation with the shore after that psriod became very I dangerous, and, in consequence or the feeling that existed, the British merchants in that quarter deemed it advisable to withdraw with the whole of their pro perty, which, to the amount of a million sterling, was all embarked in safety on board the Hype rion, and some other British ships. A boat be longing to 'the Macedonian, landing the day after the attack, several of her crew were killed and wounded, as were likewise some seamen on shore. —lt does not appear that any Englishmen were ill treated, but two sepoys, who had landed an Officer from an Indiaman, and were waiting to take him on board again, are reported to have been carried onboard a Spanish brig Ad there shot. The Patriots are stated to have become very troublesome to the British in terests, distressing the ships of seamen, by enticing them to desert and enter for their service, &c. and se veral British vessels had been detained by their squa dron, among which were the Rebecca, detained at Pisco ; Robert Ellis, from Cadiz; Lord Suffield, from Gibraltar ; and Indian, from Rio, detained off Callao ; also the Catalina, from the Coast, laden with corn and rice, and sent to deliver her cargo to SAN MARTIN. SAN MARTIN'S head-quarters were at Supo, and his advanced guard within eleven or twelve leagues of Lima. A Regiment, about 600 strong, formerly taken prisoners from BOXIVA R, and entered into the service of Spain, had deserted in a body to SAN MARTIN, who had landed on all points of the coast without molestation. Lima was expected to fall to him very shortly. The Andromache, Captain &ma am, was at Valparaiso. Two merchants, Mr. De Roast, an Italian, and Mr. LYNCH, an Englishman, came passengers in the Hyperion, from Lima. The ships Lord Sheffield, Edward Ellice, and Grant, all belonging to London, which sailed from Cadiz in June, have been captured ; the two former off Callao by the Chilian squadron, and the latter on the coast to the southward by the Spanish Authorities. The following letter has been received at Lloyd's: Admiralty Office, March 17. "Sri --In return to your letter of this date, respecting the arrival of his Majesty's ship Hyperion from the Pacific, I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of tits Admiralty to acquaint you, for the information of the Committee of Lloyds', that the Hyperion sailed from Callao on the 12th of December, and that she brings accounts that, on the 6th of November, the Chilian squadron attacked that port, and, after a smart action, cut out the Esmeralda, Spanish frigate ; but Lillis bad not been captured, nor was it considered to be in any immediate danger. (Sighs*) " 3. W. CROKER. A Frankfort letter of the 10th gives the following as the latest account of the Neapolitan positions : .6 The division of General Ambrosio is cantoned in Canna; the corps of General Arcovito, which is near St. Germano, on the Gan4liano, extends in a single line from Sora to Gaeta. the corps commanded by Lieutenant-General William Pepe, which is in the Abruzzi, hai its head-quarters at Aquila. The right wing of this corps, under General Verdinois, was posted in front of Ascoli. The-left, commanded by General Ruste, was at Rieti, and extended to Taglia cozzo." We know, however, from later news, that the Neapolitans have evacuated Rieti. A letter from Calcutta, dated October n 4, says, ‘‘ Nine per sons, among whom were Mr. llausaaw, (of the fern of ilagshaw,' Barlow, and Co. of this City), with his wife and daughter, were returning front Chandernagore, a few nights since, in a native boat, when she ran foul of the ship Windsor Castle and upset ; Mrs. Mamma' and daughter wore unfortunatdy drowned—the test were with difficulty saved." , lIIr • , . • - , THE ARMY. The 93d Highlanders commenced their march from Birr, for Fermoy, previous to embarkation, supposed to be for India. _ _ _ The 2d Battalion Rifle Brigade, cantoned in the County of Galway, are ordered to the Cork District. The entire of the 33d Regiment have arrived in Dublin; they are to occupy the quarters of the 39th, who have proceeded to Cork. The 31ut Regiment arrived from Sunderland, on Friday, at Belfast, and replaced the Ist Rifle Brigade there, who have taken up the stations of the 33d, in the County of Armagh. The Depot of the 2d (or Queen's) Regiment of Foot is expected to march into Winchester garrison on. Wednesday, preparatory to its being joined by the regiment, now on its voyage from the West Indies, which is expected to reach England the beginning-of next month. Saturday, the 3d instant, the Yeomanry Corps of Church-hill, Ardross, and Crowhill, were inspected by SKEFFIII,OTON HAMILTON, Esq. Brigade-Major of the District ; and the appearance and goodness of their equipments met with the Major's decided approbation. Friday, very unexpectedly, a route was received for the sth Dragoon Guards, now quartered at the Barracks, near York, to march for Newcastle-upon- Tyne, to replace the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, ordered for Birmingham. The 6th Dragoon Guards, or Carbineers, now quartered at Birmingham, are ordered for Ireland, in readiness for his MAJESTY'S' visit to that country. The Ist Dragoons, or Royals, are expected to succeed the sth at York.

Ssitrit has sold his crack pack to Sir It. Set- TON, for a considerable suns.—Mr. Osescussrox has declared his intention to give up the Leicestershire I founds, and it is re ported that a handsome subscription is to be offered to Sir Istassi Mom:issue, to induce hint to take the management of this lung celebrated country, Monday last, a buck was turned out at Mattishall, in Norfolk, before Air. Dewiao's hat riers: he went off in gallant style, aril was taken, after a ra n of 20 miles, in a cepse near Godwick I lull. Friday, Mr. illnysett's hounds had a very excellent run; they met at Caton, and many of the Anson hunt being pro sent, made a very large fluid of sportsmen: 'they found in a fallow field, and a gallant fellow he proved : he Was killed afteit an hour and three minutes severe rumiing, in a waggon hovel, at Croxall. It is supposed to he the same fox which alluded Lord ANiON so good a day from lilford, early in the seaf6l. A few days since, some persons on the West side of Stanley Burn, were pursuing a fox, which took refuge in a hole vn the side of a high bank, and was followed by a dog and some of the hunters ; When G. STOVART, 23 years of age, who resided near Prudhoe, had got about twelve yards in, and several others were in close succession, a large quantity of loose sand fell upon &ORA RT, and instantly smothered him. The person next him, though in imminent danger himself, endeavoured to pull hint out, but could not, on account of the Weight of sand ; and not. withstanding the utmost exertions were used, the corpse was not recovered until the next morn4t. Wednesday, at eleven o'clock, a hick was turned out at Sturdy's Castle, in Oxfordshire, before the famous pack of barriers be longing to MARK and JAMES Moaart.t., Esqrs. In consespenee pf not giving the buck sufficient time, he was taken unhurt about three miles from the above place, after a severe run of thirty minutes without a !heck. The sportsmen returned to Sturdy's Castle, when a very fine buck, presented by the Duke of Alamanntoucit to the owners of the harriers, was started fro thence. Ile took bis course towards Wootton; being headtil, he turned to the right for Taakley Wood, pursuing his course towards Gibraltar; but being again headed, he turned to the left through Lady Gs RDINCIet iaclosures and the parish of Tack. ley,. over the fields to the right, crossing the Canal up to .Kirt lington Park, the seat if Sir Hesse Dasuvroon. Here three. fourths of the horsemen were thrown out. Hence the busk proceeded towards Northbrook, in a line for Calcot ; but being headed, he turned to the right and leaped over the wall into Lord JIMMY'S park at Middleton, where he was viewed through the plantations and across the park.. He again leaped over the ; wall on the opposite side, made away towards Bucknell, and waS taken unhurt, after a run of two hours and a half, about three miles beyond Bicester. A finer chace was never witnessed. Or 150 horsemen that started, not more titan 13 or 14 were in at the taking of the deer. Many Gentlemen of the first fox-hunts big celebrity were on the field. PEDESTRIANiS3I4 Wednesday, two persons, named Bryn&ley and Roberts, otio of the age of 65, the other of 63, undertook for a angel- to rah from Charing to Lenham; when Brenchley having reached th 4 • stone which divides the Parishes of Wichling and Chasing, ftil with his head in one Parish and his legs in the wiser; and Ro• bens in consequence won the wager. Lord hlotatieux unfortunately broke one of hit legs a few days ago, in consequence of his horse fall , ing in returning from the Melton Hunt. His Lord ship, however, is doing well.—Mr. OSBALDESTONH had a severe fall on Monday ; his horse made a blurt, der as he was galloping over a field thickly beset with hillocks. He was insensible for nearly ten mi nutes, when he recovered he insisted upon following the pleasu►es cf the chace, saying lie would be bled when he got home. Letters, dated the ISth of October, have been re ceived from Canton, announcing the death of the Ems peror of CHINA, and that the event had been suc ceeded by a contest between two of his sons for the Imperial Diadem. Several of the provinces are said to have been in a state of revolt, in consequence of the dispute for the succession. To add to the distrae don of the Chinese Empire from these causes, we learn that the cholera morbus, that fatal epidemic, had found its way thither from Bengal, and was prof. ducing the most fatal ravages, the inhabitants dying by thousands. With every precaution, its effects had been severely felt even among the crews of the Brim tish ships at Canton. Advices have, since our last, arrived from Madrid to the Bth instant, containing the answer of the Cortes to tire KINGS Speech. In the Sitting of the Cortes of the 4th, a great debate arose on the absence of the Ministers, which deprived the Cortes of all means of knowing the state of the nation ; and parti' cularly the nature of the outrages committed towards his MAJasrY, which were alluded to in his Speech. Some Members declared, that the dismissal of the Ministers was the work of his MAJESTY'S evil Coe& senors. The nomination of the new Ministry was not known till the midnight of the 4th. The Universal of the sth says, that the choice made by his NI AJVITY will completely satisfy the desires of all friends of liberty, and will calm the uneasiness excited by the sudden dismissal of the late Ministry. MORALES, the Insurgent Chief, who some time since fled to Portu gal, has been delivered up to the Spaniards, by the Portaguese„Authorities at Almeida. The GENOA, 74, stationed in the Medway, took fire on Monday, but it was speedily extinguished, The accident was occasioned by a pitch-kettle boil ing over. Two MORE £21,000 PRIZES SOLD BY BISH I! !
