MINA. Plymonth, Satnrilay, Dec 6. • On Meortay the General invited the officer' of the Freerh Frig l nirassier, to dine with him, at the Royal Ho'el; the invitation was accepted, and the officers, 00 conning on shore, first waited on their Consul, J. Hawker, Fel. and then retired to the hotel, where they dined with the general, and afterwtris accompanied him to the play. The Freuch officers speak in the highest terms of him, and the (lrtimal has pnrchated several very valuable presents, he . in'en'ls giving to the officers of the Cuirsasier, se a mark of his esteem, and in return for their kindness and attention to him during the voyage. On Tuesday General Mina dined by invitation from General Sir John Cameron, K.C.11.. oar Commander-in- Chief, at the Royal Hotel, where Sir John at present It-sides. The company present were, Sir John Cameron and his lady; General Mina and two of his suite; Col. Cochrane, of the Royal.Gnards: Col. Lloyd, of the 6lst; Col. Vinnuicatrilse, of the Royal Marines; Colonels Morshead and Hawker, of the Royal Engineers; and Major Smith. The French capt►in and officers of the Cnirassier were invited; bat in constinence of the wind Flowing so hard, the boat .mold not with safety leave the ship; they attempted to put off twice, but were at last oblige.) to relinquish it. On Wednesday the General received an invitation to dine en board his Majesty's ship Genoa, with Capt. Sir Thomas • Livingstone, Bart., hut was obliged to decline it from the around in his thigh, making it painful for him to go on shipboard ; he dined on that day at Capt. Hodges', of the Army, at his residence, in Stonehouse, with a meet party of Army and Navy 'Officers. The. attention which Capt. Hodges has paid the gallant General, since his arrival here, deserves the highest praise ; this gentleman had the honor of knowing him in Paris several ►ears since. On Thurs day he went on board the Admiral's ship the Britanhia, the Adnifrani haw having been sentobr him. ,Thfs day he has an invitation from Capt. Wise, R. N. to dine with a select party at his residence, Florlionse. On Monday with T. Hewes. Esq. the High Sheriff of the coun ty. The General has been visited since his arrival, by a greet number of the resident gentry of our town and neighbourhood ; by many officers of the Army and Navy ; amongst whom are Sir William Elford, Garr. Recorder of the Borough ; J. Hawker, Req. the French and Dutch Consul, an Alderman aorl a Magistrate for the county, and his family ; Thomas Lewes, Esq. the High Sheriff for the county ; J. Were Clarke, EN. a Magistrate and hanker ; W..Tingcombe, Esq. hanker, C. third, E.q, Barrister, 0. Bellamy, M. D. tee. On Wednesday last was the Hero's birth day ; he is 40 years of age. J. Collier, Esq. one of the principal merchants of onr Port, is his agent ; his 'son, Mr. J. Collier, junr. waited on the General at his landing, and accompanied hint in the carriage to Cie hotel. Durit the Monday evening in the Theatre, a sailor who, eat in the pit, with that characteristic freedom which 'British sailers are remarked for, held op his hat, which eontained a qnantity of ants, to Veneral Mina, with a wish th•t he wonld take some ;'tile General put his banal into the hat, and took oat a handful, at the same time remarking to a gentleman who accompanied him —" I will keep these nuts as long as I live, for I am certain had they been guineas he would have given them mo."-.-(Deronskire Freeholder.) PERU. The Oievoto Herald of Friday last mentions the arrival of a new dad in the Clyde, on the preceding Wednesday, sir. the Atahnalpa, a Peruvian vessel, which had sailed direct (rola Callao, having left that port August RI She came in ballast, but had on hoard a Mr. Paris Robertson, who was landed from the Atahnalpa on the Skerries island near Holyhead, and from thence proceeded directly to London. This Gentlemen, it issaid, has brought with him foil powers to complete his arrangements for the Peruvian Loan. The folioning are extracts of private letters re caved by the Athaoaipa :- 4 . Urn, AUGUST:! —Affairs here still continue to wear a bettt.r prospect, and every day increases the confidence of the people. " The oil Spaniards, or rather the Spanish army, now begin to feel the ha i off. sag of their visit to Lima. Gan• terse bits beets obligeJ to divide his army loth three diri• tient, and send them by different roads, in order to retreat with celerity; bar, by the last accounts irons Pisco, we learn that they are all at a stand, and not likely to get on rinlekly far want of cattle, &c. and principally on account ordt constant state of embarrassment they are kept in by the Patriot Montomsroe. There are at present ;visaed, of 9000 Patriot troops in the Interosedios, in possession of that rich part of the conntry which the Spaniards left an foolishly; and here and in Truant° there are ;towards of 2000; so that, as to numbers, the Patriots considerably 'tweed the Royalig„ who have only 64100; and as their reitonrces are much greater, and they have almost every advantage over them, there is but little doubt of the war being broaght very soon to a conclusion." Retract of a letter from a gentleman is Callak to his friend in Irvine, dated July 35, 1823, ria Panama and jamaira:—" I suppose you tootthave heard ere this that the Itnyalitts have made a descent noon Lima. I thit,ie, however, that this will be the first intelligence of their itaving evacuated it after having remained in the city Live er six weeks. During their stay they behaved like gen- I tiepin. Ail British property was so far respected that there was only a duty of 15 per rent. levied on it. From the inhabitants there was a demand made of 30000 ' diollars, together with soma woollen cloth and some !leen forthe soldiers. The greater part of the demand was complied with, and every attempt to plunder was punished seterely. • EXECUTION OF Ott. CASTAING. Pats, Dec. Castaing was executed to-day at tno o'clock, in the Place de Breve. A prodigious crowd had assembled to witness the exeention. The prisoner was imposed at five o'clock this morning irons the Bicetre to the Conciergerie, the prison of the Palace of Jnstice. About . italf past one. he was brought otte to be transported to the place ofexecution, befeartne Hotel de Tulle. He seemed extremely dejected, his mental resolution appeared over power/4, and his bodily strength entirely prostrate, appa. ready unable to spport himself, He leaned his head on the shoulder of the Priest who accompanied him to admi• ulster the consolations of religion. Though the whole of the immense area of the Place de Greve was filled with spectators, and the interest of the public in the demeanour of .the unhappy man was excited to the highest 'degree of' intensiv, no accident happened, and no other feeling but that of curiosity was manifested. Castaing protested his innocence to the last, diodes with less vehemence than on the delivery of his sentence. •The faculty speak in very harsh and utimeasorable terms of Dr. Penman, who neither described with care and sccnracy, what he himself observed on opening the body of Ballet, nor gave anent the noses of foiming an opinion themselves, by bringing to Pads the intestines of the deceased. The physicians join the test of the world in ascribing Ballet's death to sub- Menem administered by Castaing, but they regret that cri- Nisei jostles could not, owing to the negligeoco or igno• ranee of Pellatan, obtain more satisfactory proofs of the crime. Beyond his own confessions, contradictions, and admissiooh there was confessedly no ground to convict Castsiog's father has resigned his place under the Ooverneneet. - His brother bad previously given up his =lesion at Captain in the Huard.. So this man's crimes reined as well se disgraced his whole Mr. Blacemore, the aciLMFetiancer. who exhibited at Mr. Uoyd'e Circus, Cheltenham, was killed a few weeks ago, by falling from the tope.

S per Ct Con. for Acct S5:11 A rcqubtition, we are truly happy to perceive, has been presented to the Lord Slayor, to call a Court of Common Council, to consider of the propriety of erecting a Mono meat to.. the Memory of Itiego, in the Finsbury Circus. This is a step *Licit it bet:aimWe Corporation 0r the first city in the world to take. Riego has been not so much the ♦ictim of the Spanish King, for prieclahnlng . the" Sp wish Constitution, as the victim of a league of tyrants who have dared to proclaim that there shell be no such thing as liberty in Europe; and no where can the moms• meet of this illustrious martyr be placed so pro. perly, as in the only country in Europe, where the cause fcr which he fell, is cherished:—nor can any more forcible answer be given by England to the impious pretensions of the blasphemous league, called the Holy Alliance, than to embalm the memory of its victims, and to honour those whom it persecutes. We will not anticipate the possible rejection of such a measure in an assembly which so re• cently voted the sum of one thousand pounds to aid the cause to which Rico has fallen a martyr ; hesause it would be to suppose that the want of :access had changed the nature of that cause, and that the Corporation of London had changed, with the change in the face of affairs. We are confident that it will not do so; and that the memory of this illustrious foreigner will be rdopted as well calculated to stimulate British hearts to the sacred love of country, and scorn of oppression. His history is well calculated to excite the noblest feelings. Modest, generous, brave, resolute, and yet disinterested,.—ready to sacrifice all that he possessed, upon the altar of his country ; and holding his life only as a trust for her service. he united all the qualifications of the hero, the politician, and the man was truly a citizen of the world; and every country claiming to be free, should emulate each other in the duty of doing Justice to his memory:—to prove, that it is not success, but virtue, that deserves public estimation. On Saturday morning, at an early hour, Mr. J. Ellis unwed at the Foreien•office, Duelling Street, with deirtehes from Sir William A'Coort, our Anibasscior in Spain. Mr. Ellis left Madrid on the 29th of November last. The appointment of Sir Robert Gifford, to sneceed Sir Robert Dallas as Chief Justice of the Court of Common /I'leas, was finally settled on Thursday lest, at the andieoce ,which the E art of Liverpool and the Lord Chancellor bad of his Majesty. Sir John Copley succeeds to the vacant Wheeler Att oney-General; but op to the,present moment, no person has been named as his socceror in the office of &Reiter-General. We can state upon the best authority that although Mr. Wetherell is talked .of as the person upon whom this honour is likely to fall, he has not yet received it. We have to add, that no decision is yet come to, with respect to the filling up of the vacant seat on the Exchequer Bench. caused by the lamented death of Lord Chief Baron Richards.—(Courier.)

ANTICIPATTON.--The postponement of the trial .at Bert ford on Friday last. sadly disconcerted the arrangements of certain Sunday papers. which bad been calculated' to 1-try a double contributum on public curiosity. The extra sheet that had beta proposed, was forced to be reserved for a future occasioa; sod where half a dozen wood-cuts lied been announced, there appeared but a single one.— More than one, however, of these catch-coney publications presented what they termed the portraits of the pri soners. Not having seen the persons, we are incompe tent to judge of the filelity of the representations; but we learn from one _of the rival prints that the other had prepared their ideal pictures a week before, and that, as might be expected, they were no more like the men fur whom they were designed, than the giants in Guildhall. As fur their own, this same paper says, that " itt is not isecessary to print the name below each,—aslit was for the poor painter, who inscribed, under his figure of a horse " this is not a tow." In another respect, we most observe for °fuseless, that the artist has bees very happy; for the figures are so stiff and perpendicular, that if all the parties were to be hanged, the plate might easily he touched up to represent their execution, on adding only the cross beans and ropes, and coveting thee heads with night caps. It is not iodeel, unlikely, that the artist had this economy in view ; fur the foresight used on this occasion, among those whom it concerns, h islbeen extra. ordinary. It is. we are assured, a fact tit et the [compositors on a certain Sunday paper were employed on Friday, in setting up the substance of the defence which, had the trial proceeded, would hare been delivered by Hunt !!! On Monday last, in honour of St. Andrew, a party of that die anguished corps, the sicots Greys, now quartered In this City, marched in prneession through the streets, end beingdressed in kilts, With tartan hose and handsome fancy bonnets decorated wcth feathers, made a very grand and martial appearance. The Saint was personated by Alexander Montgomery, a private in the regiment. and it Is no more tbaa justice to say that he supported the venerable character of the Patron of Scotland and the brother of Saint Peter with great propriety.—liis Saietship was con spicuous from the rest of his companions by being dressed in a genuine Covenantor's cloak, with a large Scotch bonnet, and a white flowing beard of reverend dimensions. His horse was led by two military grooms, in their proper uniform with swords drawn, which added considerably to the pleasing effect of the pageant. The procession halted at different places and partook of refreshment, which they generally accompanied with a Scottish reel, skilfully per formed, and with great spirit. though under a continual fall of rain. After marching through the principal streets they drew up before the Three Crowns, in Ilickergate, where the Saint delivered a poetical address. written for the occasion, which was succeeded by a dance ; the com pany then retired to the inn, dancing was resumed, and the evening spent with the utmost hilarity, good humour, and decorum; indeed, the whole business of the day was con ducted with that good order and propriety, as to reflect much Credit on all those immediately concerned, and on the very respectable regiment to which they belong.—(Carlisle Journal). Two fish women this morning were driven by the tile. in a boat, in the.absence of the wetertnan, at six o'clock, against the starlings of London Bridge. Prompt assistance soon relieved them from their perilous situatior. A Gentleman just arrived from Germany states that he saw the young NAPOLEON at the Vienna Theatre. He describes him as a most interesting boy, full of vivacity, and restless, From the manner of the boy in his box, he was strongly reminded of his father. When the Gentle man asked the box keeper "if that was the young Nanni.sou," he answered, "No, it is the Duke of R.ts- TADT," and he found upon inquiring aftetwards, that orders were stiictly given to all persons in office never to mention the name of NAPOLEON. During the gale of Tuesday night, • small smuggling vessel, coaling from Cherbourg to this Port, was driven ow shore near Southsea Castle, and has since gone to pieces. Some part of her cargo was seized by the soldiers at the Castle. V..1 - Att*; , Sztateontan. .TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 9, 1823. STOOL EXCIIANZIt, 12 o'CLocK.—Consols opened this morning at t 43;, at „which price they. : Lave continued, with little variation. Some business was doing in the morning. We do not hoar as yet of any Expresses having arrived to-day from Paris. • Private accounts received yesterday from the above capi tal, assert, that a general amnesty will soon take place in Spain. This measure, if adopted, must be ascribed to the interference of the Allied Powers, svho have solicited Ferdinand to adopt a mild government, by which the prosperi'y of Spain may be again brought about. We understand that a Russian Courier arrived in town yesterday with despatches from his Government.

When he beard that a Congress was to be held at Paris on the affairs of Spain and South America, it is said, he re marked that if the British Ambassador was to be admitted, be would not send a repres•ntative. The progress made in tranquilizing Spain, in the loyal method, is truly surprising. At Cadiz, the sentinels have received orders not to permit any person to pass near them, from ten at night, until day-hreak. At the word, " ho goes there ?" the p are to reply "the King:" and to keep on the opposite side. Nothing can display the love of the people towards Ferdinand better than this citation to prevent their becoming too familiar nitb air military representative•, at unseasonable hours.. This , is. at Cadiz ; which, it must be allowed, is rather a disaffected city; hut at Madrid, matters are not much improved. Tits Allied troops" mount guard there with as much ciretn'• spection ; ■nd the people are equally an object of jealoqsr. Even the rabble (far there is a rabble, a Priest and King ridden rabble,atMadrid)begin to be weary of the foreigner.; and more than one has fallen by assassination. Nor *do the allied troops agree quite so well as the allied Kings.— Some Lancers of die regiment of Ferdinand Vit. have had an glair with some of the French garrison, respecting the possession of a lady, who was claimed by both parties. One of the Lancers waskilled ; bat it is stated that "the " most efficacious measures have been adopted to prevent " similar disorders in Mare." ►t' bat these veryetheackins measures are, we are mat iniormed ; but they must consist either in supplying the parties with a sufficient number of ladies; or banishing the ladies from Madrid, to prevent any dispute shoat them, The King of Spain, in the mean time amuses himself with decree,. The purification of the army, and the amendment of the finances, appear to be the leading ob• i ject ; and an enquiry is to he made as to the " dismissals and the reduction of salaries," that may be effected. Such an enquiry Acre, would be very useful. The capture of the Empecinado is confirmed ; Ina it is more than probable that he will be sacrificed to the vengeance of the King, end his Coon. scions. It appears that the Commandant of Segnafiel, has ordered this chieftain to be liberated, in execution of the capitulation of Hadajoz ; but it is not under restored royalist government., that capitulations are respected; and if the Empecinado has no better protection than the King's sense of justice. he has not far to travel before be reaches the fate of Meg°. There are rumours that a nephew of Riego has taken the geld in the Asturias, and is at the bead of a considera ble force. This is not improbable, as Madame Riego has a brother, about 21 years of age, of whose fate the portion of the family in England have been ignorant since their departure from Spain. The divisions of the army of Ballasteros are also troublesome to the loyal authorities; traversing the cosntry in columns, and giving free vent to their execration of the restored order. The disbanding of the army will entrees' the discontented; and this 'measure is unavoidable from the want of money to pay them. The French, too, begin to talk of evacuating the interior of Spain, and of only occupying the sea port fort . Should this be the ca4r, the interior will be soon in arms against the royal authority; and the whole game will require to be played over again. The Royalist force in South America has been compelled to abandon Lima, after having levied very heavy contribu tions, and plundered the English merchants to a consider able amount. His retreat was occasioned by the advance of Bolivar; but be informed the inhabitants that he should return io a few months, and then he would confiscate all foreign property. His retreat was meant to scare away the British merchants; and if there be any probability of his return, it is very likely to produce that effect. I TBEATRICALS. Mott .
