r • ' THE. KISG. (PROM TILE HANOVERIAN NACIIRICHTEN.) HANOVII!, Orr. 16.—0 n the 12th, in the forenoon, his Majesty 4 t . pleased to give a private audience to. the General Chief, Count 3enningeen, accompanied by - the Coun4a . s Benningsen. His Majesty then gave ''a pnMic audience sitting on the throne, and surrounded by the Dukes of Cumberland and Cambridge, the Mi . Ilisters, the Chill Officers of the Court, ler. to the de putetions from the general assembly of the States of • the Kingdom; the Hereditary Land Marshal was at their head,.having on his right hand the President of the First Chamber, and on his left the President of the Second Chamber. His Majesty replied in the most gracious terms to the address spoken by the President, Count Meerveld. The High Chamberlain then pre sented in succession applications from numerous pub lic bodies and cities. His Majesty received them standing, and answered . the Addresses most graciously in the German language. . In the afternoon his Majesty was most agreeably • surprised by the arrival of her Royal Highness the Landgravine of 'lease Homburg, who reached Hanover some days sooner than the accounts that had been re ceived gave occasion to expect. In the evening the officers of all the corps gave his Majesty a serenade by torchlight. flip Majesty, at tended by all., the. Royal and noble personages now with him, appeared at the balcony of the Palace to wards the garden and was welcomed with the loudest acclamations. On the 13th the King reviewed the troops assembled on a plain near Stocken. Hi, Majesty dined at a table of 46 covers, at which all the R•iyal Princes and Princesses, and the foreign Princes now here, were present, as well as the foreign Mini ,ters to this Court, and those who have tome on s,seeial missions, his Majesty's Ministers and their ladies, the Maripves of Londonderry, and several foreign Generals awl Admirals new here. Oa the 14th his :ilajtaiy transacted business with Coant Munster and the Marques . , of Londonderry. In the ensuing night his Majesty was seized with an at tack of the gout in the knee. On the 11; th lie saw (Daly the Royal Princes and the Landgravine of Hesse The attack of the gout under which the King saers is but slight, and as the accounts of last night are not wore unfavorable than those of the preceding, we may entertain the hope of seeing his Majesty speedi ly recovered. The audiences to have been given yes terdav to several fureign Ministers. were necessarily put en'. We shall eounnuilicate the bulletins as soup as ite receive them. • The serenade by torch-liglit, given by the officers, had an uncommonly line effect ; ab bye one thousand tor. Lea collected in a small compass in the garden of Ilerrenhausen, spread a mass of light, which, at a great firs:ance, was taken for a large ball of lire. At the review on the 13th, fourteen battalions of lel:entry, several brigades of artillery, and eight regi ments of (aviary were canceled. '1 he King, at whose arrival and ilepaiture a Royal salute was tired, first rude along the line ; by his side was his Royal High ness the Governor-tieneral, behind him the Princes on horseback, and the Princesses and a numerous suite in carriages, drawn by six and four horses. Both the titays and the numerous spectators (200 carriages %Tie drawn up opposite the line), received his 'Majesty pith the must entilusia-tic transports of loyalty.— , Waeri the King had returned to the centre, the Guyer tor-General placed himself at the 'bead of the corps, wh'cli then marched in parade before the King. The •• Duke of4elusberland was at the head of the 2d regi ment of Helens. The infantry then returned to its cantotanents, and to the camp ; the cavalry and horse artillery turned to the left, and again passed his Ma jesty at fell gallop. Every body present, strangers as well as natives, admired the fine appearance of the . troops, and his Majesty expressed his satisfaction in' the most flattering wanner. The citizens had hoped to see his Majesty again in the evening, and crowded round the illuminated Palace of the Governor-General. His Royal Highness invited the foreign Princes and other distinguished strangers, and a great number of the principal inhabitants to a ball. His Majesty, how ever, remained that evening in his Palace, but the people had the pleasure of seeing her Royal Highness the Latelgraviue of Hesse Homburg. On the 15tir the infantry was exercised ; this morn ing there were grand evolutions in the Lindenberg. To-morrow the cavalry will exercise. On the 16th the infantry and artillery will celebrate the battle of Waterloo, and in the evening there will be fire-works at Herreuhausen. The next day the grand hunt on the Deister. On the 20th, the army will parade, and it is said that, with the exception of the Guards and the 2d Regiment of infantry, the army will march from the raighbourbood the same day. His Royal Highness the Governor-General has, by the. King's desire, and in his name, thanked the Ma gistrates and citizens for the proofs ofjov and attach- • meat to his Royal person on the day aniris public en try, the remembrance of which will be ever dear to his Majesty. His Royal Highness likewise thanks the Magistrates and Citizens for their active assistance in the meansadopted to solemnize that day. llis Royal , Highness has further notified his Ma jesty's satisfaction to the citizens who formed a corps of infantry, adding, that it is with particular pleasure he communicates to the infantry corps of the citizens these sentiwcuts of his Majesty, which ate likewise his own. The number of visitors increases daily. Among them are the Prince of Bentbeim and Prince Lippe Kchauenburg, the Prince of Sondersbausen, the Prince of Hohenlohe, the Bavarian Ambassador, General Von Stockhorn, M. Von Laugsdortf (Hessian Ambassador to the Court of London), &c. We expect the Prince Metternich from Vienna, the British Ambassador at the Court of Berlin, the Russian Ambassador at the Court of London, and many other distinguished fo reigners. Extract of a private letter front Hanover, dated Mcn day, Oct. 15 ant concerned to inform you, that his Majesty labours under a slight attack of the gout. In other respects his Majesty is as well as those who ago most solicitous for his health could desire. ELWIN o'ct.ocue;—l hasten to inform you, AO Prieto Igetteeroich mid Coast Litres art hourly *iv retell here. They ire violin for *the ostensible par. peeetim=goryte:r regrets to hie Majesty on the part Seffetelgee; bat their real obit et is THO STA' v to discuss the'sffa s trs of Tu rkey with the Marquess of l Londonderry, whose molt correspondence has set them in motion. Of this 'fact you may be assured. Those who have had the-best opportunities of informa tion vitae. not it all prepared for this event; nor did his Majesty once contenSplkte it en bis arrival, as I understand, from-good authority. This place is ex pected to be the seat of important negociations, bat they will not have the effect of prolonging his Ma jesty's visit, and arrangements are already made for his departure in the beginning of next week. His Majesty is advised not to expose himself in the open air till he is perfectly recovered from an attack which the medical gentlemen think is only of a temporary Ilit• tine. The knee, I understand, is the part where bit Majesty finds himself affected. TIMIS D 4.11' EVIBNI NG, ENHT o'ccorx.—The pain %%bids his ftlaj. sty experienced from the sudden at tack of the gout is in a great degree removed, and his departure is positively fixed for Thursday week. Count Lieven has just arrived, and Prince Metternich ' is momentarily expected. Negociations of fbe highest importance are on the tapir. Mr. Grant, one of his ' Majesty's messengers attached to Carlton-house, has • left lierrenhausen with dispatches of an important nature. ARMISTICE IN PERU. The reports which have been so long and so indus triously circulated of the defeat and destruction of the army under General San Martin, turn out to have been totally unfounded. Not only has that Commander ex perienced no disaster, he has on the contrary completely routed the force sent against bins from Lima, and com pelled the Viceroy of that place to request an Armistice for the purpose of entering into a negociation prepara tory to agret ing to the articles proposed by the con (pet or. San Martin granted a suspension of arms for tNetity days, to be renewed at the expiration of that pe riod if there should he a fair prospect of coming to a final arrangement. If not, two days notice were to he given before military operations should be resutuetl.— This highly important intelligence was brought yester day by arrivals from Santiago de Chili to the 9th of `July, and from Buenos Ayres to the middle of August. We translate the accounts of the victory gained by San 31artin over the Lima Army, counnauded by General Ricafort, and the terms of the Armistice, from the " Official Ga.vette Extraurdinary," dated Santiago de Chili, 4th July : INTEI.I.IIIENVE PROM TIIE ranertAxis:c ARMY OF PERU. " Official Dispatch from the Gore rnorof l'atpural:o to the Minister of State he the Department of Government. "At half-past four yesterday evening, the brigantine Catalina arrived in this port. The Captain of the Port writes as follows : " By the arrival of the English brig Catalina, the defeat of Gemmel Ricafort is confirmed much in the sime teams as it was previonsly annonneed. The par ticulars of the news she brings are these :- 1 hat the rout of General Ricafor t was completed, after he bad been effectually discomfited in a most ob stinate action with General Areoales near Pasco. General Iticafort was badly wounded, and his horse was killed under him. The major part of his divi sion were made prisoners, the rest being killed, u ith the exception of a few cavalry officers, who succeedeti in getting into Lima. It further appears that General San Martin consented to an armistice at the solicita tion of the Viceroy of Lima, for 20 days, for the pur pose of agreeing upon certain propoar-d articles, the result of which is not yet known. It is clear, how ever, that this request on the part of the Viceroy, was the consequence of the destruction of the division of General Ricafort. I have the honour to transmit the particulars of the armistice for the information of his Excellency the Supreme Director. God protect' you, &c. " Lutz DE La CRUZ. " Valparaiso, July 2, 1521. " To the Minister of State D. Joaquin de Echeverria." The articles of the armistice are six in number. By the Ist it is agreed that all hostile proceedings shall be suspended, and the divisions of each army shall keep their positions, durirg the space of 20 days ; and by the 2d that the time may be extended as far as shall be deemed necessary, if st the end of 20 days the object in view shall not have been attained. By an other article it is agreed that if by some fatality it is found that no accommodation can take place between the hostile parties, war shall not be recommenced until two days after it shall have been notified that the present armistice is at an end. The remaining articles refer only to matters of form. Deputies from each of the armies were to assemble immediately, so that little doubt was entertained that an entire cessation of hostilities would ensue. To the above official intelligvw, we have to sub join the following, derived from an authentic source in London : EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM VALPARAISO, DATED JULY 4. We have very favourable news from Guayaquil. A detachment of 2,000 men from Bolivar has arrived in that place from Choca. The campaign against Quito was to be opened on the Ist of July, with even chance of success. The letters received from Valparaiso mention that Sir Thomas Hardy had been very active in enforcing► the right of British vessels to enter the Voris blockaded by Lord Cochrane's squadron, iu consequence of n hid), the supreme Director of the Chilien Republic. had issued a Decree, by which the blockade was to be limited from the 22d Jane to the ports between II deg. 48 min, and 13 deg. 51 min. of South latitude. Sir Thomas Hardy would not, it appears, acknowledge th power of the blockade thus far, until he bad received orders from his government. Lord Cochrane bad been levying duties upon all vessels in the Bay of Ylo, and upon those trading to that coast, to the amount of 18 per cent. Several other British vessels had been detained by his Lordship's squadron. The ship Admiral Cockburn, was detained, but subsequently allowed to proceed. after granting to his Lordship some stores of which be was in need. The -Robert Fuge, was taken and sent to Valparaiso for abjetil-1 cation, but was released after depositing the arattutie of duties levied upon her. Lord 'Cochrane then granted to the latter a license to trade on the coast. The three ships which had been so tong detained by Lord Cochrane (Lord Saki& Indian, and Edward Ellice) were still at Valparaiso waiting their trials. The Egham, Captain Petite, had beta detained 'sad met into Valparaiso, and twe or three ether erode I~a~~, . gr been art in by the sqiiiron into Arica , these, act' • had excited - ch apprehension the British merchants at Valparaiso, Intl many Apeculationa were ailoat act() Jrnas,xasassu Thomas Hardy would take pt the subject. The principle on which Lord Cochrane rests is, that which be has adopted from the British service and which Sir Thomas Hardy will find it not easy, with any consistency, to deny. In his letter to the super cargo of the Robert Fudge, off the port of Ylo, inform ing the latter that he had conceived her freight, toe be Spanish, his Lordship says, " that neutrals are not to carry on a commerce in time of war, which they are ex cluded from in time of peace ; nor have any neutrals a right to trade to the close colonies of another power, far less to supply the colonies of one belligerent at tLe expense of another." •- PRICE OF STOCKS THII Bank Stock 240: I per Cent.

Jamaica papers arrived this morning to the Sth of September, from wllich we extract the following [rcost THE ROYAL GAZICTTZ OF AUG. 24.] The most melancholy accou:ita have been received this week froui all parts of the island, of the deplora ble effects of the long continued dry weather. The crups of pains expected about this season will be al most entirely lost, as well as every kind of provi sions, and it is feared that many properties will soon be called upon to purchase provisions for the oegroes. !Slimy cattle have perisLed for the want of water and food, and the next crops of sugar will be I,,st throughout several districts, the cane being irrecoverably withered. With such a miserable pros pect before us, the reduction of the Poll Tax last year, in consequence of the loan of 80,000/., may be considered a moat fortunate circumstance, and we fear that other and large loans must be resorted to, to defray the public contingencies, unless some immediate steps are taken by tiove►nment for the relief of the ruined planters, whose produce at the present price and duties, even under favourable circumstances, do not offer a sufficient profit to defray the necessary con tingencies of their estates. BRIDGETOWN. BAIIHAD3ES, JULY 31.—This day bis Excellency Lieut.-General Sir Henry Warde, our (antor, opened the Assembly with the folluwirkg speech : Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Council—l feel truly sensible of the high honour which his Majesty has been graciously pleased to confer on me, by placing me as Governor over such a must particularly respect able and enlightened body of people as those of this old established colony. And I can cost conscientiously affirm, lift I do, and, I hope, ever shall, entertain an earnest desire to carry on the arduous duties of my si tuation (as far as the frailties of human nature will adroit of) aided by the very able advice of the Presi dent and Council, with justice, integrity, and impar tiality, according to the best of my abilities. I could have wished to have informed myself on many points connected n ith my Government, but fearing the being biassed in my opinion, by learning too much, 1 have preferred remaining in ignorance, hoping that I might gradually inform myself without any serious detriment to your interest. I understood, however, that some material defects have been dis covered in the laws relating to the prosecution of slaves fur criminal offences, which cannot too soon be remedied. I therefore submit this subject to your immediate cousideration. PANAMA, ACG. B.—On the 7th inst. the Chinon ship Alexander, of 22 guas and 90 men, from Guayaquil, arrived here.—She was brought in by the crew in a state of mutiny and delivered over to the Governor. — She is completely loaded with muskets, pistols, gun powder, Lc. which are now landing. She parted com pany a few days ago with several gun boats, whois crews also meant to give themselves up to the Spanish Commandant, Gonzales. Two American brigs, chartered at the Havannah by the Spanish government , to carry supplies to Porto Cabello, for the service of the Spanish troops, bad ar rived at Santa Martha, and delivered themselves over with their cargoes to the Independent Government re cieving payment for th eir frei g ht. the Paris papers to the 21st instant arrived this morn ing. They contain various articles relative to his Britannic Majesty'.6 movements, but no intelligence of much importance of a political kind. From Venice, it is stated, that the Turkish fleet which entered the port of Zante on the 13th of September last, left it on the 15th, and that its appearance and disappear ance bad given rise to the must contradictory reports. A hattleis said to have taken place in the Morea in favour of the Greeks, but where it was fought is not mentioned. In an article from Petersburg, It is said, that the absence of the Emperor from that city,' to review the regiments of his guard at Witepsk, troold not emceed a fortnight. Letters from Vi sass. of October 8, anoosase that fragment interviews . • take place between the gnstrian Citancery aid th e Russian Embassy, and that in general great activity has been observed to prevail amongst diplomatic per. sons for some days past. The news from Spain is of the most favourable kind, ae to the political state, of the kingdtsm: but the fever is, unfortunatelv,•m y little abated, in spite of every precaution. The for, lore condition in which the unhappy' persons were left, who had been affected with this dreadfol . lady, may be judged of by the following article Wilton President of the Sanatory Junta at Barceloaa, 'being informed that the notaries refused to take the declaration of the last will of sick. persons, has iss,ied an ordinance, which enacts that every rotary or public officer refusing to attend any sick person whatcverin his official capacity, shall for the first offence be fired 25 francs, and for the second, be removed from his employment." All cummunication with Spain on the side of Bayonne, appears to be cut off. An order has been expedited by the Spanish government to their Envoy at Lisbon, in the quality of Ambassador Extra. ordinary, to return to Malritl. This, liolvve i t, appears to proceed not from any idea of inter ruptieg the intercourse or good understanding that prevails, but from mere economical arrange ments. The immediate return of the Duke de Cazes, is asserted in one of the French papers to be expezted, in order that he may proceed from thence in a few dave to resume his post as Ambassador at Laotian. From a report of the attendants of the public health at Marseilles, to his Britannic Majesty's Consul at that port, is would appear that the few cases MIL!, Lai appeared in that place and its vicinity have ter minated, if not in every instance fortunately, yet without becoming in any the source of contagion. FRENCH FUN DS•-••••••FiVe per cents. 891 60c. By private accounts from Hanover, we learn that the pleasure which his MAJESTY has derived from his visit to his continental dominions, is nut without alloy. Besides an attack of the gout, which pre vented him enjoying some of the grand totertaintneots prepared for him, his MAJESTY, it seems, has *IA with some affairs of a political nature, which are neither quite expected our agreeable. Instead .of receiving Ambassadors with compliments of conos tulation, the Erste, has to meet Ministers •of State from Foreign Courts, to enter into negoeiatiuus of the most serious importance.—Cuuut Lieven his ;.r -rived, and Prince Metternich was momentarily ex pected, to discuss the affairs of Turkey with the Mar quess of Londonderry. In The Courier of last night some obscure . intimation was given of what appears to be coming to pass. It is there stated in a letter from Vienna, that while advices from Turkey would lead us to suppose that every thing is arranged, (tea other quarters we are led to entertain doubts owtas subject. In addition to this, it is asierted that by letter* from Russia it appears that Baron Strogonisrettlilfir an interview with the Emperor Alexander, at Witepsk, when the affairs of Turkey will come again under taw sideration; and it is said that the question will .be then determined whether the whole of the Russian army will be withdrawn from the Turkish frontiers, or otherwise.—The rumour is that the Cabinet , of Austria has received dispatches of the greatest juggle ance (rota the Austrian Minister at Petersburg ; and that in consequence eur Ministers are now begiankog to perceive that the Russian Cabinet is too fir iVortis for them. When such creatures as the Alderinen of Skinners Alley and the Slop gang are allowed to vegetate untler the shade of Government, the discontents of Englad, and the insubordinate spirit of Ireland are easily st• counted for ; and though such enormities are attended with a train of evils, the same intolerant system is still persevered in. Can the people of England or 'relate' hope for any thing like liberality from a junta that has allowed these Orange wreckers to exist as an organ lied body for 25 years; setting the law at defiance- - torturing and murdering their abused and Walled countrymen, withont an attempt to put them dews until the KING'S arrival ? What can be hoped free dealers in seats in -- ? Or from those who ar proved of the Kiss's name being attached to the Manchester ---? Or from the importers of Italian witnesses, who would have destroyed the hobo of the QUEEN ? Or from those who would hsrs sanctioned the murder of a KING'S subject, at the feer cal of his Wife ? Ot from those whe dismissed a vs. triable and honorable Magistrate, blessed with the feel ings of an Englishman?' Or from those who ad vised the dismissal of a General Officer, who had ob• tabled the honors and approbation of ev-ry coaell head in Europe, as well as of his late 11l.siesTv , and of the Prince REGEAT, our present ? Wh 3 t " 5 be expected from such men ? nothing that is goo t great, liberal or interesting , wh o never look fart!! a than their own interest. Such like men would will• ingly render the Royal prerogative an instru:nenx is forward their Own designs, and subjugate the people to military coercion. These are considerations which should oreepy 'be attention of every Briton; they ar e dreadful to 14011 at in the .perspective, and their consequences Oa alarming. The people are bending under tattoo: Trade is a mere mockery. A retaliating taxation and daties . is opposed to our manufactures is every part of the world. An enormous standing oil is kept op in times of peace to awe the people. 1 . 1111 sway last still' the finances fail. A fin.aneial bolitelog will not always last.
