Onr opponents, on hearing of our - appreath, have raised their camp at Coylla, three leagues ilititadt from this place. They have directed their March to Oinas, on the Sierra ; our ad canned parties have been detached after them, who will arrive in Coyne by to-morrow's dawn. Numbers of de serters are daily. cuining in to join us." Among the distingnialied personages who remained at Lima, to await the entrance of the Chilian army, was the venerable 'Archbishop of Lima, between whom and General San Martini uninteresting correspondence has taken place, which is ablished. It confers infinite 5 ho -1 none on both. San artin's letter breathes reverence fur religion, and the' rarest respect for the Patriarch, whose stay in the citr he considers as at once the highest proof of confidence in' his character and motives, and the best assurance of his disinterestedness to the Peru clans at large. The reply of the Patriarch is highly dignified and impress ive; he acknowledges the flume- Tons virtues of General San Martin, and the true senti ments of religion and humanity with which he is actu ated, concluding by returning thanks to Heaven for the fortunate issue to which the recent events Lad been eon dolled. In the midst of this great change, Lima is said to be as tranquil as though nothing had occurred ; and it is most consolitarf to he able to add, that the immense wealth of this city, probably the richest city in the world, which hail never before been entered by a con lyteror, has, as far as we able to judge, been wholly !, • vest from plunder. We learn by letters lately received, that the Cliilian General, when he has completed the liberation of Peril, intends to visit this country, in order to obtain from Ministers an acknowledgment of the in -o,•oendence of Chili and Peru, and to arrange a treaty of commerce with this country. He is well known to many persons, in this country, but more particularly to the Officers of our Army in Spain, where he served with Illeinoion. The Doke of Wellington, in his official dispatch of the battle of 'l'alavera, has dune justice to his merit and bravery. :, L . .AP.o.r.v.= I 1, I , -- 1 • ..... 4 0 • •,. . t , i CeptTEA, NOT. 22.-41* Assenaltly.coatined 0 14 ! 641 bates on the 'project oflaw proposed ,by the Committee ' for the preventing of smuggling.

A letter from Souracarta, in Java, of Jlay 26, con tains the following particulars:— "About a month ago, a very malignant disorder manifested itself among the native population at Sema rang. The lavanes, Malays, and Chinese, who were attacked with it, died for the most part after twelve hours indisposition t many fell down dead suddenly after a short indisposition. This extraordinary mor tality excited the attention of the faculty, and convinced them that the cholera niorbms bad reached the island. It soon attacked the Christian population, and espe cially was very destructive among the military. The terror and confusion became general, and were soon fol lowed by the flight of the Europeans to the mountains and cooler districts. On some days, %risen the thermo meter rose from 95 to 100 deg. from 160 to 190 per sons died at Samarang, as well islanders as Europeans and their descendants. " The general distribution of good medicines, and the cooler weather have already checked this disorder. However, of a company of European hussars of SO men, 25 have been buried, and of five superior officers at Semarang, two Majors, Engler and Depre. " For persons who have not enervated themselves by the use of strong liquors, for those who have a good constitution, and a cheerful disposition, this dis order is not more formidable tban an ordinary fever, provided they daily use the proper remedies. Poor Javanese, who wanted the inclination or the ability, have suffered the most. •" The sickness broke out here a few days after it appeared at Samarang. lt is however of a less malig nant description. Of 60 Europeans who were attacked, 16 have died. We leave reason to hope that the cool weather and the approaching rice harvest will wholly put an end to the sickness. Many person. chiefly as cribe it to the bad food which the Javanese of the lower classes bare been obliged to use for some Abs." LONDON: MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10, 1521. EXTRACT OF ♦ LETTER Pao* GEORGIA, (AMERICA' NOVEJIBIR 1. We do not expect any decline in the price ef Cotton, as it is thought it will be full one-third less than last year. The rot has of late made dreadful havoc amongst it ; and many of the planters, who a few weeks ago, expected to make 100 bales, have discover ed that that they will not collect 50 ; and others have suffered ina greater proportion. So deleterious is the effluvia from the rot, that the negroes in pluck ing have fallen sick, and some of the planters will not risque the health of their negroes for the small quan tity of Cotton that yet remains to be gathered. Paris Papers of Thursday hring accounts of the Sit ting of the Chamber of Deputies on the preceding day. M. Roy, the Minister of Finance, and M. Portal, the Minister of Marine, occupied the bench of Ministers. M. Corbiere, who arrived the day before in the capital, resumed his former place between M. de Viltele and M. Piet. The lion. Member, and M. de Marcellus, who was likewise at his post, received the compliments of their colleagues. Since the last sittings, the right side had been prodigiously reinforced : the central point of the left centre was empty. The President said that the order of the day called the Chamber to form the bureaux. The seven first would be composed•of 47 members each ; the two last of 46; which comprise the total number of 421 of, which the as sembly consists. The President announced that the new bureaux would assemble to-morrow to consider the budget. M. de Pompieres.—And the law on the press. N. Mechin.—Why not meet to-day ?

Tbe news from, Spain. received through the Paris papers, is of a very gerions character. These papers bring the ,representation addressed. by the city of Cadiz, to the permanent deputation of the Cortes, together with that of the city of Coranna. Both ad dresses are couched in teems of extraordinary boldness against the Ring,' tipt/ occasioned that message from 'his Majesty tithe Codes, which we mentioned on Sa 'tnidaip Mid n. Oileg'he expressed the most profound grief at the recent events at Cadis, and appealed to them tle.ftrai hope that they would vigorously co-operate 'with his Government to preserve inviolate the pre rogatives of the Crown, as well as the public liberties. After the reading of this message, the Minister entered tito iaepiii of the origin of the lamentable events at Cadis. He traced thew to the first appointment of the Marquess de la Reunion to the Governorship of Cadiz. This appointiurnt displeased the inhabitants, the Mammas resigned, and Baron d'Andilla was 'nomina:cd to replace him ; the known constitutional principles of this respected individual, it was thought would secure to him a favourable reception. On-the Sib of November the Government received an address from different citizens of Seville, the tone of Mach rendered it necessary to take vigorous men suits, and Baron D'Andilla was rent to assume his command in Cadiz. The Governor of Seville was re called, and another appointed to succeed hint. Baron D'Andilla proceeded to Xeres. Government, in the mean tifo, were informed that the inhabitants of Cadiz bad determined pot to receive the new Governor, merely because be was appointed by them; this was communicated to D'Andilla, but still be was directed to proceed. The scuts' Governor of Cadiz issued cir cuter*, in pursuance of the resolution of the inhabit ants, forbidding all persons within his jurisdiction to recognise D'Andilla, or obey any of his orders. Whi:e D'Andilla was changing horses at Xeres, some officers of infantry presented themselves before him, and com municated the circular. D'Andilla remonstrated in vain, and changing his route went to Ctrera.— After this report, an animated discussion took place in the Cones. The conduct ef Ministers was frequently attacked ; a Committee, however, was appointed to prepare an answer to the Royal Message. Another Committee was appointed to consider the measures which it would be expedient to propose to the Cortes. The answer baying been speedily drawn up, was read and approved by the Cortes. From the terms in which it is expressed, it is evident that the Cortes intended to support the legal powers and authority of the Govern ment with vigour and decision. A Commission was appointed to propose a course of proceeding, which had not reported its determination when the accounts came away. The French papers further state that the Fontana d'Oro had announced to the multitude that the town of Cadiz has completed all its warlike preparations to oppose an effectual resistance to the orders of the King and his Ministers, and, on the first opportunity to declare itself free, independent, and the protector of such other towns of Andalusia, as shall desire to constitute themselves upon the principles of liberty and equality, which form the true essence of the Con stitution of the fortes of 1312. This account adds that Riego was expected to be the Protector. The state of the negociation between Russia and Turkey, appears to be as obscure as ever. It is asserted in the Paris papers that the. Ottoman Porte has refused to evacuate Moldavia and Wallachia; and the Vienna Gazette states, that the Turkish army in Moldavia re ceives every day new reinforcements, and that it already amounts to 30,000 men. Tlie Aust r ian Observer states, on the authority of accounts from Venice of the 14th ultimo, that the Turkish fleet had entered the port of Soda, to the North of Candia, where it appeared to in tend to remain during the winter.—The Governor of Cyprus, Om committed great cruelties against the Greeks, is stated to have been dismissed, and that a Fir man of the Grand Seignior had been received, giving a positive assurance that the Greek churches and indi viduals should be re-instated in the possession of the property taken from them, and that the Greek inhabit ants of the Island should be protected by the government. The Marquess of IVELLESLEY, it appears, has waited on the Kowa: at Brighton, and has been sworn into the office of Lord Lieutenant, or Chief Governor of Ire land, in which country he already holds a sinecure of -1,00/. a year. The Marquess is a great orator, and by many considered a great Statesman. Be that as it may, he possesses all the family talent, but none of the family estate, that being the property of ROGER O'CONNOR, the elder brother of ARTHUR O'CONNOR, of Irish celebrity. his acceptance of place then may be very convenient, though under an administration which he knows to be notorious for weakness and inca pacity. There are persons who hold out great hopes on account of the popularity which the Noble Mar qness gained by the decided part he has taken in pro moting the mancipation of his countrymen, and also on account of his being the FIRST IRISHMAN to whom were ever consigned the reins of Government in that unfortu nate country. His appointment may in that case be agree able, but the known opinions of his ultra Secretary are likely to produce both dissatisfaction and dissen sion. The Noble Marquess biutselfis said to he a proud man; so much the better, as we hope arid trust thatko nest pride will never allow him to bend to those whose arrogance keeps pace with their deep-rooted bigotry. It is impossible that a nobleman of that talent and ex- t. • . perienie)which theigarquess possesseal toula look. et the present Mini s t ers i n any po i nt of view, but as a ' Set of creatures that would bend to any thing for th e purpose of retaining power and place. We hardly think, whatever may be our opinion of his politi cal sentiments, that be would have accepted esap aeit 'under such men, unless his iiiettliaTsitiiitiOn'corsi4 led him, or unless he has obtained 'a eerie lthio e h e !from his MAJESTY, to gdvern Irelaid as he .Si L think fit, without any reference to those narrow mime i Teapots, that have so long substituted castigation ht kindness, bigotry for benevolence, and Turkish ,cruel:y for obviation consolation.

Accounts from Russia state that the continual t a w have destroyed the wheat harvest in several Pre v i ew of the Empire, which has caused a rise in the pri ce. Letters from St. Petersburg state, that the % rem ment is actively occupied with the new Cowie tea the bases of which are already decreed. Its waes will be very prejudicial to foreign manufacturers. sy articles, the importation of which has been hitherto b ei treated. will in future be rigorously prohibited; sad very heavy entry duties, nearly go l d to prohi. bition, will be imposed upon others; "mist which are spAcified refined sugars, and some articles of English ' manufacture.

From the Papers hill before tie Second Chamber by his Excellency the Minister et ' Finance, it appears that the excess of the expendis an above the receipt on the Ist January, 1821, amounted to the SUM of 3,553,434/. During the course of the y ea ($2O, the Import and Export Duties and the Excise (levied according to the existing regulations) fell short of the estimate by 2,987,3218. The revenue stitieg from the duties of Registration and Domains, as they are called, for the same year, fell short of the estimate by I, 266,2810. On comparing the produce of the first seven months of 1821, with that of the first seven maths of I S2O, there appears in the Import and Export Deities and Excise a deficiency of 519,.8 11. in this year enmpsred with 1829. There is also a deficiency in the Registrs tints and Domains for the same period. The arrangements and reductions contemplated by Ministers in the various departments of tiorernatest, to take effect (according to a minute of the Treasim) from the sth of next month, are daily expected to lie announced. We understand the Dockyard at Sheer. ness is to be reduced in its establishment, and the Commissioner, the Honourable Courtesy Boyle, is to he a Commissioner of a new Hoard, which is to be es tablished fir the conducting of the Pieventive ferrite: Vice Admiral Sir Henry Hotham and Captain T. C. Shortlanil (the present chief director of that depart. went) to be the two other Commissioners of the Board. The Preventive Service is to be extended to parts of the coasts not yet under its control, and more perfectly on in others. Three new stations ha ve been jtbt appointed in this neighbourhood—at Sontlisea-restle l Hell head, and in the Isle of Wight. We are continnally informed, that, notwithrtand log all the means adopted, and vigilance kept up, more contraband spirits are successfully run than can find a market. It appears to be the opinion of the well-informed on thistahect, that the only effectual preventive to smuggling would be, by lessening the duties on the articles which are in common use. It is said that Sir Josh's Rowley is likely to succeed Sir Henry Hotham, as one of the Lords • 1 the Admiralty.—(Hanspahise Tdegrepi.) The Board of Admiralty have been employed all the last week in inspecting the D..;:k-yards at Cha tham and Sheerness, for the purpose of making lath further reductions among the persons employed, as may he deemed practicable. The Doelt-yards op fo• reign stations are also to be reduced in their several establishments. The plan of retrenchment which has been commenced in other departments, will, it is stated, also be earitsl into effect, at the end of the present year, in all the offices connected with the Navy. A great number of clerks will retire on various stipends, and it is said that the reductions are not to be confined to inferior persons, but that some of the Commissioners are likewise to give np their situations, both at the Navy and Victualling Boards. Three battalions of Veterans are, it is said, to be im mediately raised in Ireland. His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief was expected to arrive in town yesterday, for the purpose of arranging tke plan of or. ganization upon which they are to be farmed. . The Gazette of Saturday offers a reward of 100 guineas to any person (except the principal) who shall discover the individual or individuals who shot at Mr. Anthony Rouse on the evening of the 9 3th of Novene her last, as he was returning from Truro, and wounded him dangerously.
