LIMA, Jute 10.----For the present we are perfectly quiet and in a prosperous state in the whole of the Vice Itoplty, though our commercial pursuits are not so active as they should be, if we were not on the alert and compelled to keep up a large army and navy to guard against the mad and hungry projects of our Chili neighbours. We should be glad if they would come at once, as we are so well prepared, that it would decide the point at issue. The attack Ceehrane and the Chili insurgents made on the Chiloe islands, after the Valdvia affair, has been a lesson to them; they were beat off by the brave natives, and suffered great loss. The frigate La Prueba, is ar rived at Callao, and there arc two British vessels of war also lying there. [FIOIII ♦ eirsToN riraa, or THE 10th.] If the acconnt of the Revolution in Hayti is correct, It will furnish a new motive for the imigration of free coloured people from the United States to St. Domingo, where Boyer's Republican Government will exclusively exist, with the exception of the Spanish colony. It is intimated that application will be made to Congress to open the trade to the Mauritius and the Cape of Good [lope, on the equality of terms held out in a British order of council, as to those particular places. Eivnacr or A LETTER 7110311 BATATtA, JUNII 26: attention of the Government, for a consider able time, has been taken np in their Palembang ex pedition. The failure of that of last year was attend ed with considerable loss of men, not by battle, bat by the Jangle fever of that unwholesome place; they having gone there too late in the season. The quar rel originated by the President of that place, in taxing the Saban until his resources were almost exhausted, together wi:li a strong desire to infringe on his ter ritories, which the Sultan could not endure, and drove the Dutch away to a man, with the exception of a moldier stile number who were slain. Since that period the Sultan has fortified the borders of the river, and mooed floating batteries, and put the river in such Mate of defence, that it will cost a number of lives beim they can take possession of that settlement, all those preparations hare been esteemed by two Franch ises. We nave inserted in another column a copy of the Address of the Court of Alden's, presented yesterday to the KI:co, with that of his Mauves WNW. On a fetus day we shall preen% the substance et the THE ST, Address of the University of Cambridge, with that of the Ktstn's answer to the same; and we shall rt the same time take occasion to direct the attention of our readers to the sentiments which these courtly documents express. In the midst of the common place cant with which the speeches of his MA. JESTS'S advisers and courtiers abound, there is a spirit to be perceived that is seriously alarming After advising his MAJESTY to charge his people with " attempts unceasingly made to extirpate all that is sacred among us," the KlNfi'S Counsellors have sug gested that the Court of Aldermen, and such, " may rely upon his constant support in the discharge of the duties which arise out of the present extraordinary ti conjuncture."

The information respecting the ar rival of the illustrious Doke was obtained in a casual ANlPluer. and communicated but a short time beisia-lba was exported to approach the town. Upon the Duke's arrival at the South gates the horses were taken from his carriage, and his Royal Highness was drawn by the po pulace, precelril by it imisical hand and colours flying, through the principal streets and round the Tuesday market-place, to the Duke's Head Inn. The air was rein with buttes, and shoots of " fflourester - and " Queen," except indeed when those individuals' houses were passed who bad shewn themselves to lie opposed to the Duke's political principles amt to the recent proceedings in favour of her Majesty, when the expressions of &sq. probation were pa:ticularly strong. While the Royal Duke was waiting Wore the inn, his Royal Highness was addressed by a lientleman highly respected for his patriotism. He warmly congratulated the Royal Duke upon the exemplification which had been thus given of the general approbation of Ills Royal Highness's conduct, and upon the recent triumph which had been gained by an adherence to those principles which gave security to the House of Brunswick. He assured his Royal High ness that if any thing was to he regrettetl, it Was that a more suitable expression of loyalty and affection had not been connected wills the appearance of his Royal Highness in Lynti. His Royal Highness, in reply, said Ise felt ninth gratified. It was not the first time lie had been in Lyno.—(Cries of " we hope it will not be the last.")—He had formerly received I,9“te token of regard, but nothing had so deeply convinced bim ef the affection of his countrymen, and of the esteem o! . the inhabitants of Lynn, as what he had seen and heard that afternoon. RECEPTION OF THE DUKES OF YORK AND WELLINOTON AT NORWICH. The reception of these distinguished Personages by the populace at Norwich, is represented by the Aorwiefi Mercary, as " not %%holly complimentary." Oa their return from the Cathedral to the Angel Inn, " shouts of ' the Queen,' and other hostile rries,werr raised by many. Before the Angel gate a strong party of opponents had assembled, one of whom bore a placard, which stated that 450 freemen had signed a protest against thc ex tending the city franchise to the Dukes of York and Wellington. This fact was seconded in a protest, which is stated to have been delivered to the Duke of York at his coming out of church. Upon this spot the conten tion was very fierce, and at length proceeded to actual battle. A good many hard blows were struck on both sides, and the placard was destroyed by a stroke of an officer's staff. " During this scene of tumult, the Corporation went in procession from the Hall in the Market to the Inn." The Body corporate haying been admitted into the Royal presence, Mr. Alderson, the Learned Steward, on presenting the freedom, delivered a speech highly flattering to his Royal Highness and bis noble compa nion, to which appropriate returns were made. "'1 he oaths having beta administered, the Body Corporate took their leave of his Royal Highness and the Noble Duke, who soon after quitted the town. The windows of the houses were filled with fair spectators, eager to be hold and to receive the salutations of the Dukes who re torted the gratulation with which they were gree ted in the most respectful manner, totally regardless of the hoot- Ings, hissing*, and cries of ' the Queen,' and other me moranda of-a similar nature, which formed the alloy that necessarily enters into the composition of sublu nary keepers—so certain seems the sublime of good and styli I. all things here below."

The Bill of Indictment against Captain Disney, against whom the Coroner's Warrant was issued, fur the wilful murder of Ann Ranting, w•as yesterday thrown out by the Grand Jury, at the Sessions-hosw, Clerkcnwe I. - Wearing —Mille the weather here has been so remarkably mild, tbeeold in Paris, if we could belie% e our morning papers, has been intense. On Thursday and Friday last, the thermometer exposed to the air at seven ►. N., was, according to their statement, be low Zero. We cannot, however, natter our fellow citizens that the climate of Ideation has been wanner this winter than that et the Parisians. This notion could not have been formed, but from • mistake in the meaning of some paragraph in a French paper, which had been immolated by a person unsay:misted with the scale of the thermometer is censmon use lb France. That scale is known by the same of the Centigrade scale, the freesiog point cm which is marked 0, or Zero, and the bailie, point 100, 11 1 therefore the mercury in a thermometer at Paris stood on Thursday or Friday at Zero is the Centigrade scale, it would only ►ave contspooded with 3* the freering point, oa the scale of Parei.iseit, in see is England, (a de gree of cold which we have had almost every week for two wattle past) and nut with a point thirty-two degrees ►weer, which is a degree seldom witnessed either i■ friss@ or Pa gsglasd. Thursday, the T►etrorseter, in t►e Strand, indicated a degree of warmth naegnmea for t►e 7th of December. Th e mercury at o'clock, alernoes, steed at 3t degrees. meets the ear ; The accounts which arrived yesterday relative to the death of Cuatsvorue, appear entitled to credit. That which had come by the way of Baltimore teemed doubtful, on account of the date to which it referred the event. It was not, however, in July, but in Oc tober, that the event is now said to have oecnrreil. The death which the sable Chief inflicted on hituself was characteristic of the violent and dread ful temper which had distinguished many of the passages of his life. His yoke, at last, appears too heavy to be borne ; yet several of the institutions he hail founded in his State, evince a disposition for ; the improvement of the people. By his death, an easy passage is opened for the ambition of Borcad whoThas long aimed at the supremacy of the whole of St. Domingo, and who it is liaised will profit and learn wisdom from the errors of his rival. We are happy to find, from the American papers received this morning, that some people of that continent, so far from deeming the late , events in that islasul un favourable to its o.rn welfare, or to that of the neighbouring States, are already speculating on the prospect it Word, of a b e t ter an d securer settlement for their people of colour. Other Ame rican papers, however, in tlie tone of The thilacle . - phis Gazette, quoted yesterday, even to the I WI of last month, retained the doubts they had previously expressed respecting the circumstances to which we bare alluded ; as appears in the following extract which was put into our hands since we commenced the present article:— , "We dolibt the correctness of the information reported by Captain MasoN from St Domingo. On the 25th ult. the schooner Lydia and Mary arrived at this port from Cape Henry. The Captain, SutrerN, did not report any of the circumstances now mentioned by Captain M.tsox. Captain SIIIPPirI must hare left Cape Henry about the same time that Captain Man' ; left Port an Prince. It is not probable that the ee lported revolt of the troops at St. Marks should be ; known at Port au Prince, and not known at Cape Henry. St. Marks is about equidistant from Port an Prince, the capital of Buyer, and Cape Henry, time capital of Christophe." Tits KING'S CoreT.—Yesterday his Majesty held a Court at his Palace in Pall-mall. The officers of the Court and the personal State Attendants upon the King the same as on Thnrsday, on the receptiou of the Address of the University of Cambridge. A few minutes before three o'clock, the Lord Mayor l and Court of Alderman at rived with their address to I his Majesty. The Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen were most ° graciously received, and had the honour to kiss his Majesty's hand. ! The King gave an audience to Viscount Sidmouth. 1 Her Majesty will receive the following Addresses ' on Monday, and Monday week will be the last public day for her Majesty's receiving Add r till after the Holidays : 1 Borough of Southwark, Ward of Aldersgate, Owlet ming, St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, Clerkenwell, St. Jame's, Westminster, St. Paul's, Covent-garden—Deputation. Seamen—Walking Procession. Stourport--Deputations. Seleby—Reputation. Seleby—Sir 0. Noel, Bart. Buckfastleigh and King's Lynn—Deputations. Bow, Bromley, Cork, and Spalding—Alderman Wood. A numerous meeting was on Tuesday held at the Swan Inn, Chichester, at which it was determined to present an address to various Noblemen connected with the county of Sussex, for their parliamentary conduct during the 'est Se,sion. It is affirmed as a fact, that the Address to the Queen from the single parish of St. Pancras, in the city of Chichester, received twenty signatures niore than that to the King, of the city and neighbourhood. A very numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabitant householders of the Parish of St. Ann, Limehouse, was held on Wednesday last, for the pur pose of considering the propriety of presenting a congratulsoory address to the Queen. James Ross, Esq., senior churchwarden, was in the chair. Messrs. Seaborne, Scoflln, Hebditch, Brain, Taylor, aid others moved and seconded the Resolutions on the occasion, which were carried without a dissentient voice; and Mr. Fitch proposed and Mr. Ford seconded the Address, which was agreed to with the same una nimity. A numerous and respectable meeting of the High land Assembly of London to address her Majesty, was held yesterday evening at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, agreeably to the appointment of a former and preparatory meetiug ; D. Carrie. Esq., in the Chair. Entire unanimity prevailed, and several speeches were made, characterised by Highland ardour and Highland gallantry. Resolutions, expressive of abhorrence of the consusencement of the proceedings against her Majesty, of indignation at the evidence produced. of profound admiration of her Majesty's conduct, and of their thorough' conviction that the conduct of the House of Lords amounted So a complete acquittal, were unanimously carried. An Address Is the Uaeik Incase* was rapturously applauded. The resolution and address (with an English translation), together with a summary of the prosesdings, will be gives on Monday. J.

MEETING OF FARRI4VGDOXIFJ At a Meeting of the Ward of Farringdon-Without to congratulate her Majesty and address the King to dis miss his Ministers, held this day, Alderman WAITHINIAN in the Chair. He observed, that as the Aldermen of the Ward, he bad great plea sure in attending to the Requisition. It was, however, unfortunate that he should be compelled to leave them, early as he had to attend at the presentation of the Address of Common . Council to his Majesty. Mr Fusion regretted that the ta?k of proposing the Resolutions had, in the absence of Mr. Thompson, fallen to his lot. He stated the difficulties the Requisitionists had experienced in obtaining a lit plate tolhold their Meeting, from having been refused the use of the churches of St. Se pulchre, St. lli ide, aid St. Andrews.

The progress of the ettrrent December has been mark ed with more of the appearances of a Sea t vu than of WINTER month. In two or three days of the trti4hlle of this week the sun ler several hours burst through the mists which at this season usually overhang the siletr,— polls ; and the warmth, as the following table will testify, corresponded with the brightness of the days. In this respect we find we hare been peculiarly f a s"ur.,l, for while we have been enjoying all this cheerfulness and comfort, our neighbours on the south as well as on the north have have treated with:rigottr. AtiEdinburgh, where till then the weather was comparatively they had on Saturday and Sunday last, fur the first time this season, showers of sleet and .snow from the east, which gave a wintry appearance to the hills in the vicinity; and at Paris, where the month of Noventher had been uncommonly harsh, a smart frost took plate the latter end of last week. Our morning papers. have. indeed, represented the cold there as very intense; but to this they were led by a mistake which is p • ted ~ u t in a paragraph of our paper to-day, under the hew] of Tee WICATHBIL From Scotland we ate informed of twoplietiomena that (Named gEjthipAttis fortnight, one o' as boatiarei and the other of awslarming kind.
