Chili, June, 1820:—" Patriot bayonets will, ere long, irrevocably fix the destiny of this vast pen insula in Peru. Six thousand troops headed by General San Martin, will sail in a very few days; and except in the immediate neighbourhood of Lima, will meet with no Spanish Mrce capable of opposing tha slightest resistance. All there is ripe fur a revolution ; and the explosion will inevitably take (dace the very moment a rallying point is offered to the innumerable patriots who have so licited the aid of this army, and for whom 10,000 stand of arms are carried in the fleet, and officers to discipline and command them. The Spaniards have, in all Peru, from 12,000 to 18,000 troops, but scattered over that immense country, and fur the greatest part separated from the rest by a dis. tance of many hundred leagues, and roads an chains of mountains almost impassable. A force of from 3,000 to 5,000 men is also about to march from Cordova, via Tucumon, Salta, Jujuy, in -order to attack Upper Peru (Potosi, Cochabamba, La Paz, &c). The Spaniards arc in a most ertical situation, ready to split amongst themselves, were they not prevented by the fear of the patriots, and an immense black population, eager to avail itself .of any opportunity of shaking off its chains. A system of espoinage, both public and private, has been established, which has cast a general gloom over all society, and almost destroyed all intercourse and confidence between man and man. Many of the most respectable Creole inhabitants are under cctifinement; the Viceroy has found it necessary to have recourse to the most violent extortions, in order to gratify the increased avarice of his satel lites, who, foreseeing that their harvest is almost at an end, are labouring to make a provision for the storms about to ensue, and endeavour by largesses to secure the fidelity of the few natives who still adhere to the cause of Spain. Com merce is at a stand still, since the Spanish II 'g is scut in these seas, and all intercourse with the mother country at an end. The enemies to South American independence have, doubt less, triumphed nut a little on viewing the un it. tunute scenes which have of Into been acted at llcenos-Ayr.s. Here all is tranquil : and in spite of the bad example almost invariably set by Spanish rulers, w hose policy never went further than to meet the ntetbbity of the monuont, and attain their •bject by soy means whatever, the Chili Govern. mint is fully aware of, and acts on, the princple that good faith is the only basis of tuitional priol.erity; and the people have wholly laid aside the jealousy •f foreigners, and foreign improvement, which, although in the heart of Europe, has kept Spain so many centuries behind its neighbours. With regard to eolumeree, what invariably happens whenever a THE NATIONAL REGISTER. new field is offered to British speculation has occurred here: the market was in the first place glutted, and many lost •money, consequently all were disheartened, and sent nothing more, now, really all those goods have been consumed, and uneotnnionly dear. The wine-drinkers arc quite disconsolate, compelled to make use of that of the country, which is very indifferent, since no other is to be procured• The Prueba, Spanish frigate, late consort of the St. Elate, 74, whisk has doubtless foundered at sea, has availed itself of the opportunity of running from Lima to Guyaquil with a convoy and reinforcement for that garrison, while the ;fleet remained at Valparaiso preparing for the expedition It is rather singular that even the failure of the rocket attack on the shipping at Callao, and the late disturbances at Buenos-Ayres, have produced an effect beyond measure favourable to the object of expedition, since it has lulled the Viceroy of Peru into an opinion of conscious security, such as to pre vent his taking those measures of defence which he otherwise most undonbtedly would and indeed he has of late disbanded two corps (as I am told, a spe cies of permanent militia) at Lima." Country Notes.—Caution.—The public arc re quested to be upon their guard against a species of forgery lately introduced, and which is, in a pecu liar degree, calculated to entrap the unwary. It appears there are now parties actively engaged in this nefarious traffic, particularly in the west of England, where their depreciations have been of considerable extent. Their mode of operation is this: —They procure genuine one•pound notes of such country bunks as hest suit their purpose, and having cut out the word One, substitute that of Five or Ten, in a manner so dexterous as to escape common ob servation ; and, in this state, pass them to innkeepers 1 1 and others. It would be well, therefore, if every ! person, on taking a country note of greater value than one pound, would look carefully, to we that there is no joining, or substituting in the paper; I. more especially when a note, from having been long in circulation, is mended and pasted on the back. Two very respectable Jews, diamond merchants, arrived on Saturday from Pesaro, in Italy, as evi dence for the Queen. In addition to the reward of 10C1. offered for the apprehension of Fletcher, alias Franklin, by Mr. Pearson, on behalf of the Queen's Plate Committee, a reward of 2001. is offered by Government in last night's Gazette. Mr. Haytion, the principal colleague of Mr. Pearson, applies daily at Bow. street, to learn if any intelligence has been received from the Continent respecting Fletcher. It is sup posed fnom the circumstance of no communication having been made from Vickery or Mr. Pearson, that they have gained some knowledge of the route taken by Fletcher. Tuesday night a trunk, containing valuable wearing apparel, was cut from behind the carriage of Lady Harriett Chichester, between Hyde-park. corner and George -street, Portman-square. In consequence of the promotion of the Rev. Mr. Stevens to the Deanery of Rochester, the valuable Lectureship of St. Margaret's, Westminster, has become vacant. Three Candidites have already offered themselves fur the situation. The Royal Humane Society have awarded two guineas to three men who rescued the infant of W. Kelly, of Gascoig,ne-place, Hackney-roud, from his perilous situation, by having fallen into a well very difficult to descend, and only wide enough to admit one man, who secured the child by his feet, while another received it with one band, being held up by the legs, and have likewise transmitted a letter of thanks to Mr. Bowen, the surgeon, of Union -street, Kingsland-rood, for his indefatigable exertions in restoring the child to animation. Melancholy Suicide.—On Wednesday morning a shocking event took place at No. 80, Sloane-street, Chelsea. Major Seymour, a flue young man about 25 years of age, bad lately been seriously indisposed, which brought on a delirium. The nurse who attended him left the room about three o'clock on Wednesday morning, leaving a knife upon the table; he seised the kniti: and cut Isis throat in a most dreadful manner. Several surgeons were immediately procured, who used all the means in their power to recover him, but without avail. He lingered till nine o'clock, when he expired. Coursing.—One of the most severe single-handed courses ever witnessed (and we are aware of nothing on record equal to it) was ran at Boubunt by a grey hound dog, belonging to Thomas Bennett, Esq. of Broadbridge Farm. The bare stood up before the dog ten minutes, which will cicmonstl4o to there wl,o know the sped of the hare, the distance run. During the course, she twice leapt the mill-stream where the banks are perpendicular, and which, being afterwards accurately tincasurtd exceeded 16 feet. After a great number of turns the dog picked her up in high style, at a short distance irons where she was started. LAW REPORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Ocr 20. BIGNOLD v. BIGNOLD. The parties in this case was father and son, (the former the recently dismissed Secretary of the Nor. with Union Fire and Life Insurance Office), and the action was brought to recover on a bond fits 3,0001 executed by the defendant iu favour of the plaintiff Mr. Gurney for the plaintiff, having proved the execution of the bond, submitted as a necessary consequence, that he was entitled to recover. Mr. Scarlett, for the defendant, resisted the de. mend, on the ground that the transaction had been concocted is fraud, and stated the following par. titulars :—The defendant was paying his addresses to a young lady of the name of Crew, whose fa ther was u man of considerable property ; and his falter, the present plaintiff, conducted the treaty. The plaintiff contracted to convey to his son an estate of the value of 3,0001. in order to enable him to make a settlement on his wife; by means of which, and the influence of his connections, it was expected he would realize an income of from three thousand to four thousand pounds per annum. In consequence of this, Mr. Crew agreed to give his daughter in marriage to the defendant, with a portion of 12,0001. Previously, however, to the celebration of the marriage, the plaintiff exected from his son a bond for 3,0001. refusing, on other terms, to assign over to him the estate; and to re. cover the value of this bond, which the defendant had in this manner been obliged to execute, the pre. sent action was brought. Atier the bond had been given, the marriage took place. The Counsel for the hefendant was proceeding to argue the case in point of law, when Mr. Justice Best interposed, observing, that he had no doubt the plaintiff was entitled to recover in a Court of Law. If the defence could be successfully maintained, it must be in a Court of Equity. Mr. F. Pollock begged leave to state, that emi. nent Lawyers had been of opinion, that a defence against such an action could be maintained in a Court of Law, and cited, in support of his opinion, the cure of Haton e. Haton; is which it had been decided, that a particrs criminis (a partner in the fraud) was entitled to relief The Judge was of opinion, that the case cited by the Learned Counsel did not apply, as that case re. lated to a fraudulent preference given by a bankrupt to a particular creditor, to the injury of the others; and repeated his opinion, that in conformity with the uniform principles and practice of that Court, the plaintiff was entitled to recover ; the defendant being left to seek his remedy in a Court of Equity. Verdict in fisvour of the plaintiff fur 1,0001. being the amount of the bond. Should the cause come into a Court of Equity, the defendant in the present suit will be converted into the plaintiff. Voltte. GUILDHALL. Mr. Dixon. bakr:inFleetstreet, one of the people termed Quakers, appeared yesterday b c fore Mr. Alder. man Wood and Mr. Alderman Ansley (cite presence of two Alagutrates being required by the S 4tisie), to slim cense why a warrant of distress should not be issued against him to recover payment of 4/. igs. 3d. due Irma him fur tithes. The reasons he reisted this claim was. that the Vicar of the Parish refused to pray for the c o pier's according to the form of prayer set forth by Act of Parliament. It turned out. however. that it was not !or the spiritual or ticarial tithes that NIT. J) xon was summoned. bits those of the lay impropriator. and under three CII.CIIIII. stances Mr Dixon submitted in the order for payment.
