SI.PSDITION AGAINST PILL Letters have been received from Santiago de Chili, dated the 7th of August, stating that an expedition, connoting of eight ships of war, and fourteen transports, would be ready for sea on the 14th of that month, at the latest, and sail from Valparaiso for the liberation of Pau. The following are the names of the ships of war Admiral Lord Cocluane O'Higgins...... 5 ° gum 360 men Captain Crosby. San Martin ... 66 ... 400 ... Captain Wilkinson, Lautato......—.. 36 ... 256 -- Guise. Independeicia N ... 210 ... Foster. Galvanno ...... 18 ... 116 ... Amami l6 ... 96 ... Pueynedon LO Monetauma ... 10 ... 60 ... Young. 1561 men. Of the crews of these ships of war, one-thirl are En glish seamen, one-third are Chillians, and one-third marines. The military force accompany the expedition will amount to 5,600 men under the command of General San Martin, viz., the 4th, 7th, and Bth regi ments of infantry of the troops of Buenos Ayres; the regiments of granaderos, casadores, with 28 pieces of artillery, and the company of calittes, also oh Buenos Ayres; the Y I, 4th, and bth regiments of infantry, and the regiment of casadores, of the troops of Chili. The place of destivation is understoocl to be Arica, a port to the Southward of Lima. Thisis by far the most nume rous and the best-appointed expedition ever undertaken by any of the Patriot Governments of South America, and possesses the better prospect of success in the bold attempt that was meditated, front the previous know ledge obtained of the disposition of the population of that rich country to unite their own strenuous effects for the establishment of independence. It is known, toe, that the Viceroy of Peru had become so circumscribed in his resources, that he had despatched a special and confidential messenger to the Spanish Government, ex pressing. his doubts of being able to retain Peru in its submission unless more effectual support was rendered by the mother country. The first intelligence of the proceedings of this armament, which, if successful in its views, promises the most brilliant results to the trade of this country, will probably arrive by the way of Ja maica. A Gentleman has addressed a letter to Alderman Wood, enclosing a draft upon his banker for 11 1 ! a t ; neas, towards a fund " for building a Soya for her Majesty, at once befitting the dignity of the Queen, the affection of her People, and their gym. pathy in her sufferings, from the first moment of her landing on the English shore ! Feeling confi dent that a Fund to any amount required would (if sanctioned and supported by him) be subscribed with unparalleled rapidity." A Lady has also addressed a similar letter to him, with 100 guineas; and we doubt not that any sum adequate to such an object might speedily be raised : but we do doubt of the propriety of such a measure. Is it fitting tat Mi nisters should be allowed to evade the discharge of their duty by the subscription of private individuals? Neither Parliament nor the Nation will submit to this degradation. The Palaces and Funds provi ded for the due maintenance of the Royal Family are ample (or may be made so), and they must not im misapplied to gratify spleen and malice. On the 3d inst. a woman at Lyons, in the absence of her husband, poisoned her two daughters, one aged seven, and the other 24 years. She then at tempted to pelison her son, aged 13 years, and finished by destroying herself. Thit crime is attri buted to insanity. A priest has been arrested at Mons for having, in a fit of passion, struck his clerk for some trifling neglect, with such violence as to lay him dead at Ow foot of the altar. A boat, supposed to belong to the Imparter trans port, upset off the Hospital Wall, Portsmouth, on Tuesday afternoon, and two men were drowned. Fimaasat, Hawansas.—Several cases of litiga tion having occurred respecting the right to the black cloth in hanging churches at public funerals, it may be worth while to record a recent decision of the question by Judge Bayley. His Lordship, in his charge to the Jury, laid it down, that no indi vidual had a right to hang up what are called ornaments in a church, without leave of the rector, because the freehold of the church was in him, and be might make his own terms for that leave. "In general," said his Lordship, " wheri private indi viduals hang up black cloth in the parish church with the concurrence of the rector, there is a kind of understanding that the cloth ouall become the property of the rector. In the present case there had been no bargain made between the church wardens and the clergyman, with respect to the terms upon which the cloth should be hung up, stmsequently the latter had no right to take any part in it ; because by law he was not entitled to take such property, übless by matter of arrange ment between the parties to whom it belonged." A copper-plate printer and his wile, resident in Freeman -street, Birmingham, have been taken into custody, and lodged in prison, charged with forging Bank of England notes, 10,0001. of which are stated to have been found on the premises, together with the plates, &c. Even 201. notes were fabricated at this manufactory. Four ships of war, and five transports, have sailed from Cadiz; their destination is Califovnia. THE NATIONAL REGISTER RIOT AT MAIDOTONE.--In consequence of a meet• ing convened at the Town Hall, to take into consi deration the propriety of a general illumination, it was resolved that an illumination should take place on Monday, by such of the inhabitants as should think proper to do 60. At an early hour in the evening the illumination commenced, and many transparencies and devices were exhibited, but a considerable number of the inhabitants did nut put up a candle. All remained tolerably quiet till about eight o'clock, when an attempt was made to light up a bonfire in the High Town. Mr. Johnson, the constable, and his assistants, agreeably to their orders, resisted the attempt, when they were very ill used, and entirely beaten off. The bonfire was made, and about eigl.t o'clock as attack took place on three houses, via. The MaUlsione Journal office, Mr. Prence's (clemiat), and Mr. Crisp, (butcher). A strong resistance was here mule by the civil power, but in vain. An alarming riot ensued. The windows of many other persons were broken. The most outrageous threats were uttered, and repeated representations were made to the Mayor, who was meted at the Star Inn. At last, finding that the lives, as well as property, cf the peaceable inha bitants were at stake, the Mayor, with great reluct ance, sent to Sir J:Brown, at the Cavalry Depot. The Colonel, with a promptitude that does him the greatest credit, sent out a mounted detachment, which was soon after followed by some dismounted Cavalry, and by their exertions the town was rescued from a dreadiul scene of devastation. and.terror. The soldiers were received by the mob with the most opprobrious epithets, hissed, hooted, and pelted; but they bore the insults with admirable patience. About 20 minutes to ten o'clock the Mayor read the Riot Act. Several men were taken into custody, and committed.—Two o'Clock, Tuesday Morning. A mob in front of the Star threatens to release some of the prisoners. Some of the cavalry still on duty.—. Four orlock. The mob just dispersed, and the town quiet.—Maidstone Gazelle. Roane R 'fut.—About five o'clock on Saturday evening, before the watch was set, Col. Slade, of Walcot-place, Kennington, whilst ringing at his own door-bell, was surrounded by three thieves, who pushed hint about, and contrived to snatch his watch from his fob. The Colonel knutediately gave an alarm; hut the villains, being leeward sty the darkness, escaped across the fields, , at the back of the garden. At a late hour on Saturday night, or early on Sunday morning, whilst there was a very heavy fog, a ladder was placed against the ,first.floor window of Mrs. Parkins's house, No. 17, Nursery-road, Lock's-fields, Waltvonh, the fastenings filed away, and the house robbed ul linen to the value of between WI. and 301. The properly chiefly belonged to families in the Borough, for whoin Mrs. Parkins washed, and .vas mostly market I'. S. 'l'. P. and Bellamy; it consisted principally of shirts, t tlile.cloths, and neckerchiefs.— ' About the same hour, a house in Flititstrect, adjoining, was broken into by similar means (it is supposed by the saute gang) and robbed of a bagful of books and a quan tity of plate; but the former were found the next morn ing in an adjoining field. On each of those occasions the watchman passed near the spot, but the fog was so impenetrable that he could not discover the ladder at the other side of die street. Between ten and eleven o'clock on the saute night, as Mr. Edward 041 e, carpenter, residiti 6 in 15, Gravel-lane, was walking through Toolerttreet, on his way home, at the corner of the Maze, a number of youths with links followed him some distance, begging halfpence; bui he had hardly got rid of them before he was knocked down by an unseen hand ; he was then pressed to the eanh, and held in that position till his pockets rifled of his week's wages, which he had just before received, and also his watch. He could not set the faces of those who robbed hint; but he suspects they were part of the persons who so annoyed him with their torc:.es. The premises of Mr. Willis, in the Mint, Southwark, were entered Sunday morning, and plundered of a great quantity of linen, a watch, and even some of the tiousehold furni ture. Friday night, or early on Saturday morning, the kitchen of the Westminster School was entered by thieves, who stole every thing 'portable, and escaped undetected. Some thieves broke into the larder of the Earl ulOtislow, at Clandon, iu Surrey. on Monday night. and plundered it of a great quantity of provisions of all kinds. Several persons were on Tuesday charged, at Bow street, with having assumed the staff and character of constables, in order to rob with greater ease and security. Signor " Non mi Ricordo," Rastelli, and Nladaine Dumont, were hung and burnt in effigy at North Creak, Fakenham, and Wells, on the recent rejoicing At the former place, the wonhy Rev. Arciideaenn gave away six chaldrotss of coals and a bane! and a halt of ale, and Mr. Dewing gave a barrel of ale, among the poor; moot y wa, also sui.scribed by Mr. Reeve, Mr. Blyth, Wright. and others, and distributed anione list populace as a remembrance. Bonfires ..I;°, and ringing ui hells, enlivened the scene. inhabi•ants of Holt, in addition in their ilinei mitioos, proposed a subscription to supply their neighbours with ale, but in eonstviciice of the Um., expressed by some linrldn, Icst riot shuidd be producer! by SO diiing, the COI 1111 l ittee laudably clialirted their in tention, without relaxing in their exertion. to ofilittri subscriptions, Jill .11butlitneu tile atu.tiint iu money on the next (I.ty among we poor families of that town. it was a saying at Milan, during the sittings of what is termed the Commission, " If you want to make your fortune, get passports fur England." lonDon coariters CORN EXCHANGE, MONDAY, Nov. 7r.
