. EAST INDIES. The Hon. East India Company's ship Farquhar- WV ' from China, (left Feb. 1.) brings the despatches respecting the unfortunate transaction which occur red with a hottes ct,o , of his Nl+sty's frigme Topenc and the Chinese, in which one of the natives was killed, and 14 of the English sailors NVOU !Med. All trade with our ships was wholly gipped from the ‘23d December, The only ships liesides ready t'or &Ohm*, were the Kcnt and ilepubc. Twelve Company's ships remained unladen, nor was there any prospect, at the departure of the Farqu h of their being allowed to take on board their cargoes. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The following important infinmation was on Sa turday morning posted at Lloyd's:— The Farquharson, arrived from China, whence Fl a sailed on the Ist of February, brings advice, that trade with the Chinese was stopped on the 23d of Dectmher, in consequence of an array between part of the crew of the Topa:e frigate end some Chinese, at Linton. All the 7,entlemen of the factory hast ened on board the different ships, and were after wards taken on board the Waterloo, with their families and property, as well as the Company's property. The ships remained at Chaumpie when tile Far -9#lliarson sailed. The Fa quharson, Windsor, Acid, and Repulse, had taken their cargoes; but it was supposed the rest of the Company's ships uould be obliged to coins:: away in ballast. OTHER ACCOUNTS. The followi9g is from the board of the Jerusalem Cotfee-house; b% the ship Pa rytharson, NVeymuoth. The Repulse and Kent were loaded at China, and expected S4/011 to follow the Farr/lament. The affair between the Topaze frigate and the Chinese took ylace on the 23a of December. The supercargoes were on board the Waterloo, and had the precaution to have all the bullion and property shipped. The Portuguese Governor had received orders at Macao to allow none of the English to remain there. The Chinese junks were at the bar to prevent the Far qukarsou sailing, anl the Topa:e tiring a gun or two over them they dispersed. The Farquharson bad her guns loaded, but did not fire. Nut the least appearance of settlement was entertained when she sailed. The Funs;llilet and Scalehy Castle had ar rived at China. The illaepteen, Walker, outward bound, had arrived at St. Helena. Extract of a letter from Macao, dated Jan 27: •• The affair of the Topaze frigate remains unsettled : the Viceroy of Canton not having relaxed in his demands, we re solved on moving the ships out of the River, and weighed for the second bar yesterdsy morning, and allthOted here (Chauni. I pie) in the evening, with all the sciips—the frigate is with us. It Is r:por•ted that the Viceroy is willing to open the trade, as far ai con 'lsis in buying and selling, but insists on having two men befoie the ships sail. It is probable that alter the l'itraze sails, which is expected to be in about ten days, matters will be set tled, and that we may expect a final adjustment in February ; this is, however, only my opinion." Extract of a private letter from an officer on board the Hon. Company's ship Far quharson, dated in the Chops of the Channel, May 27 : •"Plic cause of our detention, which has doubtless by this time occasioned some anxiety, happened through an unfortunate quarrel which took platy between the seamen of his Nlajesty's ship Topaz,: and cie inhabitants on the island of Linton, in which three of the Chinese were killed. The Chinese insisted that duet of the sailors should be delivered up, which Captain Richardson would not do. As their law is reSitilre that life shall be forfeited for lite, whether the death be accidental or intentional], they put a stop to all trade wish the English, in order to force compliance. •• We, Mitunately, happened to be ready for sea; and after being detained fur Our or live weeks, in order that we might hying home favourable accounts, were despatched, as thing. daily assumed a more serious appearance. The whole of the Com yany's ships were outside ot the Bocea Tigris, the gentlemen of the factory and Company's treasury ate on beard the Company's ship Mato-Mo." SOUTH AMERICA. ••••••••.11 His Nlajesty's ship Super?, 78, Capt. A.

She left Lima on the 3d December, Valparaiso 20th January, passed Cape Horn 15th Febru ary, and sailed from Rio 23t1 March. Commodore Sir Thtimas ll,rdy was left at Lima, with his broad pendant in the Conte frigate, Capt. T. White; the Conway, 28, C ipt. Basil Hall, was gone to San Blas ; the Blia3on, 28, Capt. Vernon, was at Valparaiso ; the Alacrity, IN, Cap!. Doll. Fri d. Spencer, on the passage to Lima. The dif ferences between Lord: Cochrane and Gen. San Martin still continued, his Lordship conceiving that his former colleague's patriotism had deuentrated into selfish ambi tion. He has thrown off the Chilian servitude, renounced that fl ig. and assumed the character of Protector of the Peruvians; ii and, in opposition to Lord Cochrane's au thority and ulterior objects, has commenced raising a outlet the Yrnuiau Hag. It consisted at present of only a cots cite and two brigs, commanded by English mixers. Lord Cochrane had kit Valparaiso for Way aTtil, with three frigates, and two smaller vessels; the O'Higgins, being ((mud rotten, hail been broken up. His Lousily's future operations were not known. lie con tomes a great favourite with die Ciiilians, who consider liiili as faithful to their cstise. His Lordship's health was improving. 'flue Antelicm ship Franklin, 80, Commodore Stewart, had passed round Cape Horn, to join the Constellalian Ingate, at Valparaiso, and protect their trade in that quarter, which was quite as extensive as that of the English men:llan:B. The French have also -.r.~, trATION.U.

A..NPLeatt, in the River Nate; the SI tney,Capiain Stanhope, had gone to Bahia; the Doris frigate, Capt. T. Graham, had arrived at Rio, from Bahia, anti after wards sailed to join Sir T. 'lardy, at Lima. Whilst the Superb lay at Rio Janeiro, a ship of the line, a frigate, and four transports, with troops front Lisbon, arrived there, for the purpose of aiding the Prince Regent in re storing his father's authority in that part of his elouni nio but not a man 01 thew was SUffered in laud, except as private inin•iditais, and very :*ew chose to as smite this character for such a put pose. 'l' ne Prince Regent had a communication with the commander of the troops, the result of which was, that the ships. with the troops on boast', left Rio on the clay the S . :lnrr', did, lu return to Lisbon. Russian transports li to touched at Rio, 106 days f St. Peiershurgii, bound to their settlements on the south-west C 0.131 of America. The following are extracts front private letter : SANTIAGO HE CHILI, JAN. 16.—Within these few days we have here S. Abreu, a Spanish Commissioner, who caine by way of Panama : he has been received with great attention by our Government. and has had several conferences with JI Misters; but it is difficult to guess what Spain can expect to gain at 'me son by negotiation, after having lost so many (we:tunnies before her South American possessions were irretrievably lost to her. " Our administration pursues its course of retrenchment and economy ; the credit of Government therefore stands high ; and should any temporary embarrassment oblige it asain to issue paper money, it will no doubt be readily taken at par. The conduct of Lord Cochrane. in Ins uispute with Gen. San Martin. is much commended, although his Lordship's zeal for Chili, his adopted country, has perhaps made hint ready to censure General San Martin, and to impute sinister motives to rim. _ _ . " llis Lordship was displeased at Gen. San Martin's taking the title of Protector of Peru, with the supreme command civil and military, while, in tact he turd a commission as Commander in Chief of the Chilian army. The coolne,s between the two commanders was increased, when San Martin declined to give battle to the Spanish forces under the walls of Lima, or in front of Callao, although Lord Cochrane strongly urged him to do so, as the certain means of at once putting down the enemy. The capitulation of Callao, concluded without the concurrence of Lord Cochrane, anti restoring all Spanish property widened the breach still more. The Chilian elect, the interests of which were entirely forgotten in the capitulation. showed a mutinous spirit, especially the foreign seamen, who had been buoyed up with the hope of immense prize money at Callao. They were clamorotu fur the arrears of their pay, and lord Cochrane found himself compelled to satisfy them out of the money that had been put on board the transports for the sake of greater security while the Spanish forces were near the coast. This step was the more justifiable. as the Treasury of Lima certainly ought to have paid the arrears due to the fleet, on account of the Govern ment of Chili. which must have claims for larger aunts on Lima. Lord Cochrane, however, to keep his men in activity. sent part of the squadron to Valparaiso, and whit the rest proceeded to Guyaquil. in order to co•operate, if nceessaty, with the Colum bian forces there, or to extend his cruise to the coast of Mexico, and there to secure the two Spanish frigates, Prucba and Ven irtnaa, which are reported to have great sums of specie belonging to Spaniards on board. At all events, the presence of the tieer. before Callao was no longer required ; the character of the Go • verntnent olChili and that tit General San Martin arc a secure pledge that this unfortunate quarrel will have nu detrimental in fluence on thcicause of independence, nor weaken the good under standing which policy and mutual interest will alway s presetve between Peru and Chili. Lt itA, N ov. 30.—San Martin, who is very unpopular, has adopted the flourishing title of Protector of l'eru, and governs the country by a military despotism. You will probably have card of the rupture between him and Lord Cochrane. " After the evacuation of Callao by the Royalist army, his Lordship applied for money to pay his officers and men, and received for answer that there was no money, although it was well known to his Lordship that about faxl,ooo dollars had been embarked on board of private ships and Chili transports by an Martin for safety, in case of being surprised by the Royalist army. Ills Lordship was of opinion that this money would be equally safe on board of his frigate, and consequently removed it thither, with which lie paid his ships, and sent part of it to Chili. Sam Martin had by this time got a flag of Ins own, and declared Pau independent. which his Lordship conceived dependent on Chili, and therefore would nu longer obey any orders from the General. Every intrigue was used to induce the seamen and officers to enter the Peruvian service, and even to hoist the flag on board the Chili ships. Some officers who have always been in otiposi tion to his Lordship, immediately joined, and a great number of the seamen who had been long confined on board wished fur a change : they are, however, sorry for having made it. Not one of them has been paid by this Government, whereas those that remained with his Lordship have been paid to a day. '• JAN UARY I.—This place remains perfectly quiet, and the existing Government here finds itself so strong, that a very res— pectable expedition, consisting of 3,000 men, is being equipped, and will sail froni Callao in about a week, destined to the coast of Arica, in order to attack Arequipa, and thus, if possible, ter minate the war in Peru. '• General San Martin is still at the head of the Government, with the title of Protector, but it is thought probable that lie will shortly relinquish the supreme command in favour at a native of this country, of distinguished family. " Lord Cochrane. by the latest accounts from Guayaquil, was about to sail from that port with his squadron, to run down the coast of Mexico, and cruise for the two Spanish frigates, which still remain in those seas." By a vessel which has just arrived from Van Die. man's Land and New South Wales, we have received Sydney Casettes up to December last. We learn by the same channel; that Governor Macquarie had taken his passage in the Surrey, Capt. llaine, and was to sail for Europe in the first week of January. A new settlement has been founded at Macquarie harbour, iu the south western part of Van Dieman's Laud, tbr the criminals sentenced to transportation from the old settlement of Van Dieman's Land. During the week colonial produce has been ex tremely dull. Notwithstanding the detention of he China ships, coffees cannot be disposed of at their tate prices, and 2s. to Ss. a cwt. must be accepted of lto effect sales. Sugars are also 2s. cheaper. An Egyptian mummy, forfeited for the non-pay ment of duties, was lately sold at the Custom-house, Plymouth, fur 4:351.

We see by the debates in the Lords on Thursday evening, that but little hope can be entertained that the Catholic Peers' Bill will be allowed to pass —we always knew, that on the pact of the Chan cellor, it would have to contend against bigotry and dotage—and we regret to perceive, that hts opinions appear to be extensively espoused. E i!; said, that his Royal Highness of York, will oppose the bill in person—if it rested on ability, and his were the greatest opposed to it, the result could not be doubtful ;—but in the Lords, as well as the Commons, a Fool's " No" goes just as a far as a Philosopher's " Aye". l'etitions floued so fast into the House of Com mons against Mr. Searlett's Poor Removal Bill, that he declined dividing the House upon it, and the amendment, " That it be read this day six months," (by which it is virtually abandoned) was carried — this is another contradiction to the assertion, that in the present unreformed state of the House it is of tae ;HANGE, anti 31.
