pl per, to the 12th August. They are principally! tilted w ith a variety of official papers, most of which „l a t e to an action which was fought on the 2d at st. Nicholas de los Anagos, between the army of Postco. Governor of Santa Fe, and a division of the Kilian army. The whole division of the Chilians, with their respective armatnents, together with 200 ,fli t i a , all the officers except As.vcan and CA RRRR us, t h e deputie:., five pieces of artillery, and more than 2,1100 hones, are the fruits of a brilliant action of, three hoar., in which the enemy, fortified in a town, ~le a dre.ttlful resistance. Subsequent papers con tun abundant details of this action ; and also a cot- Ir4pr. Brace relative to the armistice between Dowell° z, anti a correspondence between the Deputy an;:.no of Buenos Ayres, and BALCARII, who is qt.,' Deputy novernor. IVe cannot draw from these papers any satisfactory information of the state of attain. Every thing seemed ina very unsettled state at BeellOS Ayres. Estraet of a letter from Angostura, dated Sep tember !2:—" The main army under the command of the Psesinastv, is cantoned in tie neighbourhood of St. Rosin de raterta, and ron‘itts of from 11l to 12,000 nen completely armed and equipped. They are only ir i:ing till the waters retire, to operate with the army of the Apouri, against Nlottit.co. whom head-quarters are in the city of Valencia, which does not conskt of MOW than 6000 men. The army of Apottri consists a full .1000 men. We have received advice that the rol i e in the neighbourhood of rarumpatio, supported by the garrison which had separated from the bat tallau of t, LARINFS, rose against that part of Cie garrison which remained faithful to the Ktsu, and ex pelled it from the place by force of arms." [FROM TYE BALTIMORE PAPER OF OCTOBER 26.1 IMPORTANT. We copy the following important information from Philealaphia Democratic Press of Saturday : Set IN.—We have it from such authority os satisfies as of the fart. that the King of Spain has ratified the treaty with the United Slates for the cession of the Pluridas. We are also satisfied that the ratified treaty is not: in the United States, and will be submitted to' Congress immediately on its as.embling, next week. Tea blantexsro.—The warlike manifesto of the Emperor ALEXANIAR on the Spanish Affairs, which we lately published, has been explained, to the entire satisfaction of the Spanish King and Cortes. The Emperor is understood to have declared in his ex planatory State Paper, that his first manifesto was predicted on the belief that the army had usurped the authority of the Kingdom, and dictated to the people by fur. e of arms the present Government ; but that subsequent a !vices hating• conveyed a more correct statement, and his Majesty being satisfied that the change in the Government has been the act not of the army, but of the nation, he is row entirely reconciled to the change. A Jamaica mail arrived this morning, of the 10th of October, from which we give the foll•minte extract : (raoM Tilt ROYAL GAZETTA, Ot T. 7.) The statement pubti4hed last week of the defeat of the Independents near Carthagena, is perfectly correct, and their lost was very great. The trade with Santa Fe has been opened, and a peat deal of specie has arrived at Savanilla to be shipped for Jamaiqs. The dollars are all of new manufacture, and are stamped with the name of Bouvet". We learn that General DF.TRIROX was dangerously 111 of a fever at Baranquilla, where he bad been visit ed by BOLIVAR. Considerable sums of money had arrived at Baran qu.lLL from S4Oil Fe, brought down to Magdalene. The violation of establi4ied usage and decorum nlsich was exhibited, at the instance of \linister•, in the prorogation of Parliament on Thursday, is every where the subject of the tinniest reprobation. The comparison we were led to institute on the occasion, is said to ha►e placed the insult in too honourable a light. The proceeding has the c'. 'racier, not of boldness, but of craft ; and excites as much con tempt for the mean and sneaking manner in which It was conducted, as of indignation at the grossness of the outrage. We were curious to discover what pretexts the obsequious tools of the men who conceived the project would be dire:ted to hoplay to cloak them; and the truth for once has been avowed. The first object is the prevention br those speeches which the Ministers dreaded the► shuulil hear from Independent Members of the House of Commons ; the other, which to them is of equal importanee, is to seek the aid of time to allay the irritation of the people. They flatter themselves, and they even t,that neither the devotiou of the Press, Dor the spirit of addressing, uor the taste for processions will retain that space in the eye of the public, which is requisite fur the promo tion of Fabric opinion. In a couple of months some change will come in their behalf! Let them take this Littering eartion to their souls ; they will Only follow $ delusion. The espefrient they have employed will Inevitably defeat their ends. So long as they continue their violation of the rights and privileges of the people, they will lot tail to keep alive the irritation; sad till they tease to continue in power they cannot bus rapist to tithe objects of the public Indignation. From the accounts which we hate dolly rivet for the Lit fortnight, of the effect produced epos the public by the triumph of the QVIMPf t it will be sees dot the riuisings have small through the earatry to lima THE STA' an extent, and with an enthnsiasm beyond all precedent or anticipation. The venal slaves of arbi trary power have attempted to suppress these demon strations, where they thought their authority would prevail, and pretended to decry them when their other efforts were unavailing. Itihatever was not con formable to their order, they were pleased to deem dis order; and the means they affected to use to preserve the public peace, have, in many place., been the occa- 1 sion of the only outrages that were committed. We have obserted this ineonsistency manifest itself in several of the ministerial boroughs ; and some days ago we were led to notice it, especially in the pro-I ceedings of the Magistrates at Bath. We were led to ask on that occasion, whether that sapient Corporation had not often promoted and suggested for their pri vate ends, the very proceeding which they condemned when originating in the people from more coil:aged and liberal views; and we have accidentally been fur nished by an independent newspaper. plahlished in that city, with a striking contrast between their recent and their former conduct. When the great majority of the inhabitants, from exulting at the abandonment of the Bill of Pains and Penalties, unequivocally indicated their wish that the event should be celebrated by an illumination, the Magistrates issued front their Guild hall a notice that the intended manifestation did /Jut meet srith their approbation, as the p -wipe+ lig ef Bath, the resort af so many it:raids, male, i eliee drpe ncle d on the preserratiun of its order and beinv,illitp. But mark their language relative to the same kind of manifestation in the case of another deer'.---A Queen indeed whims it screed their interest to honor. On occasion of her late Mairsry visiting their city in the same month (November), ls 17, the Notice which was sent out by the Magistrates from the same Guildhall, announced that " The .11abur mid Corporatisit Aare dekrmained ow distinvishi.ag the evening of !the orrice! of her Moirstg by an illaneiaelino r:f the Gandhi:3 and other Pudie Baie'diags Mader their ran." "As this does not require mud, continent," ob serves the Bath Casette, "we way as well pass on : merely remarking, that we are not aware of any rery issafrrial difference its the circumstances of Bath, as respects invalids, fcc. in the month of November 1817, and the corresponding period of time in I S•2O !" We from the sane authority learn, that a like incon sistency was manifest in all the measures which the Magistrates pursued on the late illuminations. Large bodies of persons paraded the streets in the most or derly, decent, and peaceable manner for several hours ; when, unhappily for the peace of the city, t!-.e soldiery appeared. This uncalled fur, unnet essary, and un constitutional introduction of the military, instantly excited the indignation of the populace; and in the irritation of Me asonient, a dose!) pines of glass wer e broken at the Guildhall. To skew Ilia re plainly how annecrasary kit as to call out the military, we nerd only mention what we find stated in detail, that the strength of the civil power, marshalled on this a/aim ing occasion. amounted to no less ti.an eleven hundred and thirteen men ! We think it thus incumbent on us to repeat our notice of the conduct of the Magistrates, to show upon what frivolous pretexts the military are now called out upon the people ; and to expose those outrages upon the Cmstitutiou and the public, to the contempt and indignation they so justly deserve. The King left town last evening for Windsor, in his travelling chariot, escorted by a party of the 10th Regiment of Light Dragoons. kluges's VISIT TO Sr. learn that the Lord Mayor has received an othrial COMMll aication, stating, that " upon re-consideration, the Church of St. Paul's cannot be given up to the Cur poration, but that the doors will be thrown open to the public."----It is unnecessary for us to make any remark on the above communication, as the object desired to be attained must be obvious to every one. Indeed, we have heard that a certain distinguished indi vidual, whom we do not think proper now to name, was heard to express himself in very estraurclimary language on this subject.—(.Norning Chewtick.) There is to be a Meeting of Bridge Ward next Mon day, for the purpose of addressing her Majesty, the Queen, on the entire failure of the charges against her. In consequence of Sir Matthew Bloxam's retiring front the Ward of Bridge, (with a Pension from the City). Sheriff Williams has already announced his in tentson of offering himself for the vacant gown, with every prospect of success; be is to be opposed we under stand by a Birmingham banker, whose partner was tie unsuccessful candidate at Warwick. A requisition to the Mayor of Bristol for a public meeting to address her Majesty 11. is been must respect- ably 'signed, and will be presented to his Worship during the present week. The account in all the Papers of the Queen having dined with Mr. Williams, at Belmont House, on Sa turday, is not correct her Majesty has not dined from home since she went to reside at Brandenburgh House. The reported examination of John Palin for High Treason at the Secretary of State's Office this day, is, we believe, without foundation. The Parishioners of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, meet on Monday evening to Address the Queen, and peti tion the King to dismiss his Ministers. Mr. J. C. Hubbouse, the Hun. they Bennet, and many very distinguished characters in the Opposition have stated their intention of attending. ROYAL Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland bas been graciously pleased to respite the sem team of death and execution, pronounced en Jane Byrne end Constantine Molloy. (mother and eon). who were convicted at the last Commission in Dublin, for having administered poison to Edward Byrne. with intent to kill bins. It is understood the wretched mother is to be transported for life. [AN POLITICAL PORTRAITS, No. I.

The compiled Tragedy of Brutus for was last night re vitcd at this Theatre, the purpose of introdtiring Mr. Wri.tata to our notice, as the indelible !tonsil Consul. If the aptslogy of Mr. 141:154C1. was intended to have any effect, i• should have been, in the phraseology of the stage weird ep to. We discovered nailing in efse general manner of Mr. W A L1..41A that could induce us to suppose him labouring . under iistlispositiun. That leis fears might have crerted some such sensation, previous to the rising of the curtain, we can Ist Jilt' believe, and can on this aceouto excuse, what we must consider as a piece of stage policy invented to disarm the severity of criticism. If Mr..Ke its was nut cast in the mould of Homan eleeaner and dignity, his great 'Mud dis played itselfiii so many imposing situatious in the perso nation of this character, that eucireled in the radiance of the actor's skill, the critic forgot the grandeur of the antique. The brig Ilits.4t family of the mind—admiration, was stretched to its utmost liwitof delight, leaving but little for hope or fancy to supply. Mr. WALLACK pos sesses, some natural advantages over his great predecessor. Ile has a fine voice and a good figure; his action too is unencumbered, easy, and dignified. But where's Ilse mind:—the want of it was too apparent in the second and third scenes of the play. The abandon ment of all use of limb, the vacancy of ronntenanee, the idiot's stare add certain ',ion of •• r00t.," that used to elicit the most raptnrotis applanse, passed tamely by and scarcely drew a single plaudit. In Isis scene with nee, we hail to lament the same want of feeling or concep tion of his author ; and this was the more conspicuous from the modest aud touching sensibility Mr. Ct.l threw into the part of TifFot, a part we *build have thought might, with more propritly, have been given to some one of minor consequence in the Theatre. The curse in the third act, where Sextet confesses his vil lainy, was ably and powerfully given ; it is a tine piece of declamation and peculiarly suited to the actor's powers. The Forum Scene in the same Art, was slovenly and tame. lie ,tslilress to the Citizens was hurried over like a playful school-boy raised above his compeers to deliver his lesson, while all lois anxiety is fixed upon their sports below. There was a want of dignity and noble feeling in his speech to his Brother Conseil anti Friends, in the fifth Act. His scene with his Sun was less objectionable, and displayed a flue conception of his Author. The concluding scene was loudly applauded, and the exit of Titre marked by the commendations of the audience. In the management of the scene, Mr. W•LLACK seemed to us rather coufused, but in the deli very of the words - A little ronmeot ..... _ " And I ern childless.—One rflurt and 'Os past.•• we mast subseribe our mite of approbation to th• Igneous feelings of the audience. Upon the whole we cannot help saying that If Mr. WALLACK has not lost in public estimation by thcattenipt, we are sure hr has not macreased his attitude in the slightest proportion to his ambitios. One thing, however, should not be forgot. Mr. WALLAtk is a very young man, and has a very laudable anxiety to stand foremost in the rank if his profession ; public opinion his warranted Ibis feeling on his part ; and, though he way not o'er top at once bis equally talented conspeeri, his meths sad Originality will always preserve a level niche in the temple of public approbation. The other' characters of the Play were faithfully pourtrayed ; and though it may be almost treason with some persons to object to /Ars. titoven, in any thing, we must confess, we art among those who never wish to see her in tragedy. Mr.. WEST was more than usually interesting. •' Harmonious speech, whose pare and llyeid tone,.

These are bets, iid no one can deserve, or receive' mote flattering testlniony of the increasing admiration of the patrons of the drama. '7 Noserrictr CO.VMON HALL. In pursuance of a reepiiiiition i slgticsl i v many gentle: men and inhabitants of this city, a meetints, was called by the Moroi, and took place on Thursday at St. Att drew's Han, to offer their warmest congrattilitions to the Queen on the total faildre of the unexampled eon: spirrrr which has been lying formed ausinit her honour and her hal/pines., and on the triumph which she has obtained, by the abandonment of the 11111 of Pains and Penalties. The Mayor was moved to Mice the elven., which, as it was the nisi of the meeting, he said, he accepted with pleasure. The business of the day Was intro.lncetl 1..1 31r. J. Ilt‘nant: who, in a king and able speech proposed the restitution., among which was an Address to her Majesty. The resolutions were seronded hr Dr: Ittuat and supported by the Her. T. Msnot, but the mooch. of Mr. Madge were aniutarlveeted on by J. PmetioN. Esq. The Mayor then put the r....olutuotts, which were carried unanimously, with the exceptinu of two hail Is Itch( up against them. The Andress which ILA been prepared, was moved by N. dottecnetiest. Es q . (Dimly MI qui), and read by Me. E. TATLOK. After reading the Address Mr. Edward TAYLOR said, that F• was with feelings of sincere and ardent joy that he again wet his fellow citizens in that hall. 1 heir former congratulations to her Majesty hail been mingled with pandit% feelings at seeing bee, while all England welcomed her return to her 1101111% again about tei come the object of accusation Mil perserntion, but now their joy was unmingled with regret. She had Miiitn ph Italy passed through the fiery ordeal, and in spite of all the machinations of her enemies, had p -rd he.. rights 11. , Queett,and vindicated lirrlionmie a s a ir / m ho' . those tery persons who had brouelit in the Ilill to divorce sad degrade her, were compelled to heroine the netrnmente of their own degradation, and to bend be • fore the weight of that public opinion, which they at first, h a d aff e cted t o d e spise. Wlien the fearful work —..that this Bill do pass!" tremble,' on their lips, their coward hearts sank within them, and they were con - pelled to give way to the yoke of the people, and pro nounce the abamionment of their own measure. Minis ti rs hail said, that the profligacy of the Queen had been so notorions abroad, that they were compelled to send out the Milan Commission to investigate it. Had truth beets their object, of whom would they have sought is telligence Unquestionably of those lionoretile and respectable noblemen and gentlemen who had been about her Majesty's person. ti lin hail heel' constantly in attendance upon her, and nitnessed every action of her life. But no—these were not the men to answer their black and malignant purpose—the witnesses against the Queen must be sought for in the very dregs of I- .lc discarded servants inu:d he tampered with—confidence must be violeted, lurks must lie pursed, ;maw, ttttt bl Le Offered ; in short, every species o r vill a iny most he re sorted to, in order to make ont the shadow of a case. This, therefore, was conelnsive evidence, in his opi nion, of the existence of a foul and detestaMe erinspi racy : it hal every feature of a plot, bot he thanked Heaven, it bad totally and completely .failed, and dis grace both deep and lasting had covered its authors and abettors. Nor was it on the Continent shine that this con !piracy had been going on—in this conntry, nay, in this very county, the most atrocious calumnies had been pro pagated against her Majesty. A Peer, resident in Nor folk, previona to that trial, upon which he was about to sit as a judge, had assisted in giving currensty in the based slanders against ibe Queen. Every art that malice could suggest, every calumny that money could purchase, had iweu resorted to, but all had tailed to accomplish the designs of her enemies—she was "seal Queen in spite of them." Ile could not ronclude with out congraittlatitiz his fellow citizens on their peaceable ilemeanoor on Monday night. To the Queens edemies they left it to violate the laws; to them they left it to snake inroads upon the Cnustltotion by Bills of Pains I and Penalties and es poet yetrtu laws—to them they lett the subornims of perjury, while the friends to the Queen had 4liewrd r thrustrlres equally the friends of law and justice, and had proved theitisetvre worthy to live under that form Of government, n hide if wisely and purely administered, would again reader England free, happy, prosperous, and united. It. H. tivaN ex, Esq , 111. P., came forward amid great applause. It gave him great pleasure to meet the re seal assembly, an.l to congratulate them on the ter mination of the affair, although nothing should Ii ice induced him to rate for a measure so abhorrent to the constitution as an r.r.pust jit:•to law. The conduct of the Milan Counniteiun must be scrutinized, and oho country will not rest satisfied Until those who are guilty shall meet with due and revere punishment.-- (Cheers.) The thanks of the Meeting were then mired to the Mayor fur calling the Meeting and for his co nduct in the Chair, and also to K. 11. Ottrney, Esq., M.P. for his attendance. the Mayor returned thanks to the Meeting both for their present conduct as well as their peaceable behaviour un Munday Meat. The Icettitir then dispersed. , TEURULOGY.

No remarkable phenomena hay- been no ticed here, but at York, on the morning of the 10th instant, between twelve and one o'clock, a meteor was observed by several persons to pars over that city. — It had the appearance of a large ballet Ate, bet was not completely round, and was first seen iu the onuth-west, passing ins north-east direction, and was visible about four seconds, during which time the streets were as light as at noon day.
