Philadelphia Papers reached us this morning to the 14th July. LATEST r RON BUICIOS Ames.—Captain Sutton is arrived. He informs us :hat Buenos Ayres had long been in a state of commotion front the conflicting in terests of the different chiefs. The government has been changed during his stay there 5 different times. Peurredon, who had governed for a length of time, has left, for Monte Video, with a large property, Ar tigas declaring, he would not make peace while he was in office. Ramirez and Carrera, the Mountain Oeneral, who commanded from 1,500 to 2,000 troops, had taken possession of Buenos Ayres, and thrown Serrate', the Governor, in prison. A stop was in consequence put to all kinds of business, and the in habitants were fast quitting the plate. Thirty fa- milies had removed to Monte Video, before he sailed. The Eastport paper says, that the English gun brig Palletto, has arrived in the Bay, from Halifax, and made several seizures, and has scattered the poor fishermen who depend upon the harbour fishing for support. Much indignation has been expresses' by the inhabitants. While the rumours of a counter-revolution in Spain are rapidly subsiding, the repirts of insurrectionary in Sicily are unhappily fully confirmed. t of the Revolution in Naples..

A Requisition, signed by fifty-Ave.( the most opulent and respectable ishabitante, was last week pre tested to the Magistrates, requesting them to call a Meeting of the Inhabitants, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of presenting an Address of Congratulation to her Majesty. and deprecating the hroceedings going on against her. The Magistrates, owever, refused, to read or receive the Requisition ; 'wither would they give their assent for the use of the Town-hall for the octasion. The latter, however, being 'while property, the Requisitionists determined them selves to mat a Meeting of the Inhabitants for to-morrow (tile 9th), and passed as unanimous Resolution to hold it is the Town-hall, and nowhere else. The opposite party are all ua the alert, and are determined to shut the Meet* out of the Town ball, if possible ; sod, if us eseemeal in this, they mean to propose a set of Counter ken:Actions, in order to defeat the object of the Meeting. Is this state of things, much uproar and confusion is ex- Peeled. Both Lord Milton and Stuart Wortley are now here, bet it is not supposed that either of them will attend the Meeting to-morrow. An address of condolence and congratulation to her Majesty the Ileees is in course of signature in this city, which bas originated with, and is to be confined excite tivehr te, the Ladies: we understand it expresses a wish that her Majesty may lake an early opportunity of visit lag Scotland.—(RdeolnergA Star.)

The Lord Chancellor left the Court of Chancery yes terday at one o'clock, to receive a communication from Sir Benjamin Bloomfield. On his return to the Bench, he informed the Bar that be must rise at two o'clock. king called upon to attend elsewhere. His Lordship, at the setting of the Court in the morning, had ordered his carriage to be ih attendance at five o'clock. The communication made by Sir B.

RItINWAT Ro+men•.—Wednesday night about I I o'clock, as Mr. Higginbotham, of Sydney-row, Cam berwell -road, was returning home, he was accosted sitbin a few paces of his own door, by a tall man, dinned in black, who politely asked what the precim fine of the nicht was ?

The following day, however, they united with it the yellow or Sicilian riband ; and an officer in the pay of Naples, au English man of the name of Cricket', having tutu, it said, this emblem of Sicilian Independence from the breast of an unarmed citizen, the people became exasperated against the continental authorities, and the forts pos sessed by the Neapolitan troops, were attacked and carried.

Unfortunately, however, Sicily, though united with Naples by a common Head, had been lung considered by its natives as possessed of power and right sufficient to become an Independent °ornament. The countenance and the constitution it had recei►ed from England in those ►iews, during the recent war, and the treatment it afterwards recei►ed from the tiu►ernment of Naples at the restoration of Peace, en gendered those unfortunate feelings which produced the recent lamentable explosion. Of the nature of those feelings we may form some notion, when we re member the condition of Ireland at certain critical pe riods in the commencement of the late war. The Battering appearance of the Stock Market, of which we made mention yesterday, was not of lung continuance, fur, towards the afternoon, various re ports of an unfavourable nature got into circa lation. Amongst these was the musacre at Sicily, which has since been confirmed, and with some others of minor importance, checked the market which at that time looked extremely well, and from 68$ fell to 681, though they left off 681 buyers. This morning, Consols opened 681, and went sellers for a short time ; but they have become buyers again, nothing of moment having occurred to create any fluctuation.

" ma excellent to bare • giant's strewth, But mammas to use it as a east.' Mr Loan,—As the first lay Peer of the kingdom, as the supreme legislatorial decider in the realm, and as an Englishman, you are ildw addressed by an indi• Ticket, who can boast not a wealth, of power, or of authority, but who possesses alone an independeut sotil, and a heart beating with indignation at observ ing the attempts to crush a high spirited and innocent woman. You, my Lord, as one of the judges of your Queen, as a man looked up to as acquainted with every mode of legal procedure, are doubly responsible for the actions of an assembly, guided chiefly by your advice, may execute. 1 have watched with anxious eye, my Lord, every motion made by you in this accusation. 1 hate warily searched into each hidden weaning couched beneath that artful and pious sophistry so apFa rent in every expression used by you in your ju dicial capacity. 1 have sought eagerly for the motive that could induce you so palpably to support the stronger party, and to oppose with aspe rity the weaker side, whose only strength is innocence, whose only d: fenders are truth and purity. I have questioned myself whether the Lord Chancellor' of (treat Britain could sacrifice for love of place and hope of pension his honour as a man and his integrity Se a judge ; whether a man, advanced in years, who :2 expert, in due course of nature, ere long to stand the tribmial of hie Creator, to answer for every crime committed iu his cstbly dwelling place, would impress on his soul so dark a tinge as that of injustice for the sake of wealth. 1 think be would nut. For injustice, my Lord, is to be condenircil in any and every being, bat when the crime is committed for the obtaining remuneration, it is of double guilt. Yet, my Lord, ere you proceed too jar, retiect upon the consequences ; you have refused au accused wo man of illustrious and heroic ancestry, of noble birth and unspotted descent, the means of repelling the evi dence collected in the Wren Bag ; you have refused her Petitions for the names of the witnesses to be brought against her ; have refused to inform her even of the places where these supposed licentious deeds were committed. Thi re is no precedent ewe is no precedent ! says your Lordship : there is no preee-' di set e-ecl.ots that very impartial, honourable, ho nest, incorreptilk, tender-hearted, gallant Peer, Lord Liverpool: while a certain Bishop, who,- not under standing the case himself, is determined none else shall, interrupts her counsel by remarks, the " lower orders" would hate horsewhipped any boy of 10 years of age for being child enough to make use of; and is tAle your Lordship's Justice" Can you, my Lord, suppose the British nation ignorant, imbecile, and unjust enough to believe a woman guilty when the accuser does not allow her the means of overthrowing the accusation. Do you for one moment conceive, my Lord, a race of beings, like the prom* enlightened inhabitants of England, will believe their persecuted Queen culpable, while secret committees, secret witnesses, and secret cesrmissiont, are the swabs used to condemn her. If 1 bad com mitted ttp smolt on your Lordship, your domestics would ho the lost persons 1 should wish to see in the itorydratif.oo...doshies- .p +i' tuipairiaisy, for -they would naturally be necessitated to support your will, and fulfill your wishes. and would see Me ynesiion only with your eyes. My Loki, the present proceed ings stand alone, and, for the sake of justice, of honour, of every noble sentiment, may' they never be imitated. 1 once more call upon your Lordship to restrain by your authority the designs ut all wbu would impel the country on to its destruction ; who would MI with anarchy, confusion, and blood, their native land; who would hail the death-scream of Li berty as the long desired note of merriment ; who, would poison the royal ear with their calumnies, urge on a noble, generous, and amiable luau to de struction; who would till/the country with miser*, and the streets with starvation ; and who now would willingly seal their crimes by destroying the character of their royal mistress, and the peace and honourable feelings of their lovereign. I bid you adieu, my Lord, trusting you will, from a love of justice, put a stop to this career of anarchy, ere it has destro:ed all honour, integrity and peace.

On Wednesday night a courier from the King arrived at St. James's Palace, with a letter for his Royal High ness the Duke of York; and, in consequence, his Royal Highness, at half-past ten o'clock yesterday morning. set off, with post horses, for the cottage in Wind's, Park.

One of the partners had, a short time previous, retired from business with an immense for tune, and such was the confidence reposed in the 1 house by the native population surrounding Madras, that it had become the general medium of depositing property, in a manner something resembling that via' 1 savings bank. The popular indignation, on hearing of the failure was so great that the resident partners were compelled to fly for their lives. Letters were yesterday received from Lima, dated 27th March. They were conveyed across the istireots • of Panama, and owing to distance and the uncertainty of navigation in the lower part of the Pacific, the above date may be deemed very recent. The ca..- , ture of Valdivia by Lord Cochrane was known in tEe ' capital of Peru on the 16th of the same month, and the loss had been regretted by those ethigranta , only from the south of Chili, having property id that quarter, the tenure of so distant a point having hi therto been extremely expensive to the Viceregal Go vernment. —Accounts bad also been received there, that the O'Higgins, the Chili Admiral's dag-drip, bad struck on the Quiriquina, is Talcagnano hay, by which accident she had been so much injured, as to make from 50 to 60 inches of water per boar. With the greatest difficulty she had been got up to Valdivia, subsequently to the capture, and shipwrights had been ordered from Valparaiso to eudeavour to repair her, which was deemed altruist impracticable, owing to the want of convenience, as well as the ge neral state of the ship. The greatest tran,in:llity and confidence prevailed In the whole of the Viceroyalty. Accounts from tke.• Royalist army in L'pper Peru had been received, stat- ing, that the war was at a stand in that quarter, thy. .., troops opposed to them being chiefly withdrawn, of ow ' a state of complete insubordinatiou.
