179 EAST INDIES. The Hon. East India Company's ship Farqnhar. son, from China, (left Feb. 1.) brings the despatches respecting the unfortunate transaction which occur red with a boat's crew of his Majesty's frigme Topoze anti the Chinese, in which one of the natives was killed, and 14 of the English sailors wounded. All trade with our ships was wholly stopped from the xSd December. The only ships besides ready for sailing, were the Kent and Repul.e. Twelve Company's ships remained unladen, nor was there any prospect, at the departure of the Fargo karson, of their being allowed to take on board their cargoes. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The following important iuthrmation was on Sa turday morning posted at Lloyd's:— The Farquharson, arrived from China, whence she sailed on the Ist of February, brings advice, that trade with the Chinese was stopped on the itSd of December, in consequence of an affray between part of the crew of the Topoz..e frigate and some Chinese, at Linton. All the gentlemen of the factory hast ened on board the different ships, and were after wards taken on board the Waterloo, with their families and property, us well as the Company's property. The ships remained at Chaumpie when the Far quAaraon sailc.l. The Fay quharson, Windsor, beat, and Rept! sc, had taken their cargoes; but it was supposed the rest of the Company's ships would be obliged to come away in ballast. OTHER ACCOUNTS. Tbs following is from the board of the Jerusalem Coffee - house; by the ship Farquharson, off W eyinouth. The &pulse and licni were loaded at China, and expected soon to follow the Farquharson. The affair between the Topazc frigate and the Chinese took place on the 23d 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 quharson sailing, and the 'Pupate firing a gun or two over them they dispersed. The Farquharson had her guns loaded, but did not fire. Not the least appearance of settlement was entertained when she sailed. The Vanseitart and Scalehy castle had ar rived at China. The Illocreen, Walker, outward bound, had arrived at St. Helena. Extract of a letter from Macao, dated Jan. 27: " The ankle of the Topaie 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 Mr the second bar . yestenlay morning, and anchored here (Chaunt rie) in the evening, with all the ships—the frigate is with us. It Is reported that the Viceroy is willing to open the trade, as far as curt-tats in buying and relling, but insists on having two men before the ships sail. It is probable that after the Topase which is expected to be in about ten days, mutters alit be set— tled, and that we may expect a that adjustment in February ; this is, however, only my opinion." Extract of u private letter from an officer on board the Hon. Company's ship Farquharson, dated in the Chops of the Channel, May 27 : " The cause of our detention, which has doubtless by this time occasioned some anxiety, happened through an unfortunate quarrel which took place between the seamen of his Majesty's ship Topusc and the inhabitants on the island of Linton, in which three of the Chinese were killed. The Chinese insisted that three of the sailors should be delivered up, which Captain litelhazdson would not tio. As their law is i.ositive that life shall be forfeited fur life, whether the death be accidental or intentional, they put a stop toall trade with the English, in order to force compliance. • We, fottunately, happened to be ready for sea; and after being detained for tour or live weeks, in order that we might bring home favourable accounts, were despatched, as things daily assumed a more serious appeatanee. The whole of the Com pany's ships were outside lit the Itocea Tigris, the gentlemen of the factory and Comptmy's treasury ate on board the Company's ship Weicrlmu."

Ahreu, a Spanish Commissioner, who came by way of Panama : lie has been received with great attention by our Government, and has had several contereitem, with 'Ministers; but it is difficult to guns what Spain can expect to gain at pre sent by negotiation, atter having lost so litany oppodumnes before tier South American pm...sew:aorta were irretrievably lost to lies. •• Our administration pursues its course of retrenchment and economy ; the credit of Government theretbre stands high ; and should any temporary embarrassment oblige it again to issue paper money, it w , ll no doubt be readily taken at par. •• The conduct of Lord Cochrane. in his nispute with Gen. San Aliatiu, is much commended, although his Lordship's seal for Chili, his adopted country, has perhaps made him ready to censure General San Martin, and to impute sinister motives to Mm. '•llis LortlM;p was displeased at Gen. San Martin's taking the title of Protector of Peru, with the supreme command civil and military, while, in tact belied a commission as Commander in Chid or the Chipman army. The coolness between the two commanders was increased, when San Marlin declined to give battle to the Spanish forces under the walls tit Lima, or in front el Callao, although l.ordCoclitane strongly urged him to do so, as the certain means of at once putting down the own' , . The capitulation ittf Cathie, concluttel without the comurrence of Lord Cochrane, and restoring all Spanish property widened die hreach sull more. The Chilian fleet, the interests of which were entirely forgotten in the capitulation, showed a mutinous mpecially the Mreign seamen, who had been buoyed up ith the hope of immense prize money at Callao. They were clamorous for the arrears ut their pay, and I.ord Cochrane found I.inGelf compelled to satisfy theni out of the money that had been rut on board the tiensports for the take of greater :wenn'' , tab le the Spantrh (ones were near the come This step was the 37 , `1L Jwinflab!e, as the Tre.u.ury of Lima certainly ottiht to ~... ~: THE NATIONAL REGTISER - - have paid the arrears clue to the fieet, on account of the Govern ment of Chili. which must have claims for larger mitts on Lima. Lord Cochrane. however, to keep his men in activity, sent part of e.e squadron to Valparaiso, and with the rest proceeded to Gityarpia, in order to co-operate, if necessary, with the Colum bian tutees there, or to extend his cruise to the coast of Mexico, and there to secure the two Spanish frigates, Priastis and Vets clip, a saich ate reported to hare great sinus of specie belonging to Spaniards on board. At all events, the presence of the fleet blare Callao was no longer required ; the character of the Go • vernment of Chili and that oh General San Martin are a secure pledge that this unfortunate quarrel will have no detrimental in fluence on thelcause of independence, nor weaken the good under standing which policy and mutual interest will always preserve between Peru and Chili. " Li sta, Nov. so.—San Martin, who is very unpopular, has adopted the flourishing title of Protector of Peru, and governs the country by a military despotimi. 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 anal Men, and teecived for answer that there was no money, although it was well known to his Lordship that about 6isi,non dollars nad been embarked on board of private ships and Chili transports by San Martin for safety, in case of being surprised by the Royalist army. His Lordship was of opinion that this money would be equally safe on board of his frigate, and consequently removed it thither, with which he paid his ships, and sent part of it to Chili. San Martin had by this time got a flag of Ins own, and declared Peru independent, which his Lordship conceived dependent on Chili, and therefore would no 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 opposi 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 arc, however, sorry for having made it. Nut one of them has been paid by this Government, whereas those that remained with his Lordship have been paid to a day. JANUARY L—This place remains perfectly quiet, and the existing Government here finds itself 60 strong, mat a very rts•- pectable expedition, consisting of 3,000 men, is being equipped, and will sail from 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 he will shortly relinquish the supreme command in favour of 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 moist of Mexico, and cruise Air the two Spanish frigatts, which still remain iu those seas." LISBON PAPERS. ',tailor, MAY 17.—1 n the sitting of the Cortes for the last few days, several accounts have been communicated, brought by vessels from Brazil. On the 14th it was stated that a Sardinian vessel had arrived from Rio in 86 days, with 180 soldiers and 20 women on board. They brought an account of the steps by which the troops were compelled to re-embark, by being besieged by land and by sea, and all supplies of water and provisions cut off, till, the 11th Feb. his Royal Highness went on board the Union frigate, and caused it to be signified to Gen. Jorge de Avilez, that he, and all the troops under his command, must embark immediately, on pain of being treated as enemies, and no quarter given them. The General and principal officers went on board the frigate, and respectfully represented to his Royal Highness the comparison of their behaviour, good intentions, and services, with the unjust treatment ' they experienced, requesting that the embarkation might be delayed till orders were received from the Cortes and his Majesty. His Royal Highness told them they must embark, as ordered ; which they accordingly did, on the 12th, and sailed from Rio on the 15th, on board of six vessels. They sailed in company to the Azores, where they were sepa rated by a ►torm. The other five vessels are Por tuguese. On the 15th, the arrival of anotaer of the Portu guese vessels was announced. Lieut. Col. J. M. , Da Costa confirmed the news brought by the other I vessel. Their Royal Highnesses were in good health; that what seemed chiefly to employ the minds of the people at Rio Janeiro, was the desire to see the troops depart, and that, a packet boat was ready which was to sail from Rio immediately after their departure. The Portuguese ship Estrella, in 58 days from Para, brought news that the greatest tranquillity and attachment to the Constitutional system pre vailed at Para, and that the new Provisional Junta took possession of the C;overnmeut on the 11th of M arch. The 13th being the anniversary of his Majesty's birth-day, was celebrated with every demonstration of joy. By a vessel which has just arrived from Van Di e . man's Land and New South Wales, we have received Sydney Ganda: up to December last. We learn by the Kane channel, that Governor Macquarie had taken his passage in the Surrey ► Capt. Runic, and was to sail for hurope in the first week of January. A new settlement has been founded at Macquarie harbour, in the south western part of Van Dieman's Land, for the ctiminals sentenced to transportation from the old settlement of Van Dieman's Land. During the week colonial produce has been ex. mild./ dull. Notwithstanding the detention of the China ships, colkes cannot be disposed of at their tate prices, and Qs. to 3s. a cwt. must be accepted of b o effect sake. Sugars are also 2s. cheaper.

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 his opinions appear to be extensively espoused. It is said, that his Royal Highness of York, will oppo:A.: the bill i■ 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 Philos pher's " Aye". Petitions flowed so fast into the House of Com mons against Mr. Scarlett'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 no ..:11AN6E, Mar 31.
