The E folk of Saturday contains a long scoots:it of the reception of MAMOCTII, the Tunisian Envoy, and of the dinner afterwards, at which it appears the Mahometan drank wine freely, " for the sake of his health." The Etoile indignantly contradicts a report that M. de VILLE'. E had lent a considerable sum (30 millions it was said) to the houseof Rortiscititn, in royal bonds, on a tb.posit of rentes. According to the Etoi.le there is not a word of truth in the statements of the opposition journals on this subject. The Musdemr asserts that the most perfect tranquillity has prevailed in Spain since the retirement of the' rench troops. The Ex-minister Cnuz, who has been nearly twelve months in prison, is declared t, be absolutely inno cent, and in recompense for his sufferings is promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-General.

During a year the Es-Minister Cruz has languished in a prison. He was at fir* cast into a damp dungeon, where he would have perished had not his wife, by dint of prayers and entreaties, gothim transferred to a more healthy abode. His trial did not begin till long after this, and has been prolonged for several months, but the King has just stopped all proceedings by an act of his Royal will, inserted in nudity's Gazette, by which his Majesty declares the ar , rnt of Marshal de-camp Josh de la Cruz uniust, and all the pro ceedings directed against him stopped, and orders that be be imme diately set at liberty—that nothing which hal taken place tarnished his reputation. The same Resolution is applied to Don Josef-Augustin Llano, and to the Don Francisco Aguilar y Conde, with liberty for all the three to prosecute those who have been the cause of their unjust detention. The King has not confined himself to confine , ing the acquittal of M. Cruz. for he has, by a decree of to.day, ratted him to the rank of Lieutenant.Genersl. The trial of General Canape is by the King's order makhos great progress. It Is known that this General Officer wanted Iler raise Arragon in favour of Charles V. the King's brother.

We have extracted from them, and published in another column, two Proclamations issued by the Spanish General °LAMM, in which he declares his determination to die, if necessary, in defence of the Royal authority. He ascribes the capitulation of LA SER N A entirely to treachery, and indulges in much abuse and invective against the defeated Viceroy, on account of his connection with the Liberals. The report of an armistice between BOLIVAR and OLANSTA must there fore have been without foundation. OLANsrA, on the contrary, talks with as much confidence of success as if he had a force capable of destroying the Patriots. The next arrival will probably inform us that his swaggering tone has been reduced to as low a key as that of the unfor tunate General's whom heivilifies. The Lima Gazette of January Ist has also been received. It states that BOLIVAR has resolved to take Callao by assault, and put RODI L and the garrison to the sword, in order to make an example of them as a warning against perfidy. This paper also contains a despatch, addressed by the French Vice-Admiral ROSA N E to the " Liberator, President of the Republic of Colombia, and Dictator of Peru," in which he asserts it to be the in tention of his Government to observe a strict neutrality in the contest between the New States and the Mother Country. France, he says, would only interfere between the new States and Spain, as a common friend, to offer her good offices to both parties: He adds, however, that he can only recognise ports as blockaded, before which an ade quate naval force shall he stationed. A difference has always existed in the opinion of the Stock Exchange with regard to the Spanish Bonds of 'wit and MS. We stated some time ago that we had reason to believe that the new and old Bonds would be paid off at the same rate. No difference would certainly be made be tween them unless the old Bonds should be taken up at a higher rate than 30. tinder any circumstances, we under stand that not more than 32, the price at which they were actually issued, will be allowed for the new Bonds. --' I III I7Z - 1.-EIINDAY EVENING. The transactions in Consols were very considerable this morning, and the prices indicated restored confidence. They were done for Money at 901 1 91 901 ; and fur the Account at 911. By these quo tations it plainly appears that the fluctuations hare in a great de gree ceased, and we may consider the panic as passed away. The Foreign Market partook of the improvement that was ap parent in the British Funds, and a good deal of business was done in it. Spanish Bonds, both old and new, were a shade better. The former were at 2:4 24, and the latter at 18i 19.—The bargains in Greek Securities were limited. The Bonds were at 61/, and the Scrip at 6 41 discount.—Danish Ditto was at 2i 2 discount ; but there was very little doing in it.—in South American Securities there was a great deal of buoyancy, and many bargains done in them.—Colombian Bonds were very firm at 881 1; and Mexican Scrip was done at 11 / discount.—Brazilian Scrip was steady at 11 premium. The business in the Share Market was by no means exclusive. The principal of it was in the Anglo-Mexican Company, at 90.__ In Pasco-Peruvian, at 12; and in the New Potosi, at 31 41. This was prompt payment day in the Colonial Market, and con sequently there were no private sales. By the last Mail from llamburgh, the Exchanges axe quoted more in favour of this country. We can state from the best authority, that an eminent capitalist has not sold any portion of his English latock during the fluctua. Lions in Consols.

GENERAL OLANETA TO THE TROOPS OP THE ROYAL ARMY. PROCLAMATION. " Brave Soldiers--The army which assembled at Came shame fully laid down its arms at Quinuapata on the 9th of last month, and by a capitulation much more shameful, its Generals have given up all the provinces as far as the Deuguadero. You will go and place yourselves at those limits which you marked with the sword, and your loyalty will repair the mil, Each of you is a de ' fender of Peru, anti I salute you by th at name. " When the liberals penetrate into their countries with all the ' horrors of a desolating war, and the rage and ferocity which cha. racterise them, what proofs of valour and intrepidity did you give ? The velocity with which you pursued the enemy of the altar and the I throne, and the extraordinary hardships which you endured, and your rapid marches, excited general admiration, and have gained ' you immortal glory. The series of triumphs which rendered you for ever memorable must reanimate your minds for the last 'seri- Tice, and to face death rather than fall with ignominy. Firm in your resolution to defend the King, will you fail at the most critical moment ? No ! I know your sentiments, your attach ment to the just cause, and your vehement desires for the felicity of Peru. " You have hitherto fought heroically for Ferdinand VII. un subduod in calamity and distress, and shall you yield, crowned with laurel anti preceded by victory ? You were the first to pro. claim the absolute King, and posterity, which hastens to contem plate you, will judge, that in spite of vicissitudes, the honour of your name will live for ever without a stain. " Terrible are the evils you have endured, but the firmness of your character, far from glair way in difficulties, has made you appear rester its the eyes of the world. Our brave companions who have saved themselves hem the misfortune will hasten to join us in arms, resoles. to wipe away their disgrace, " Let us marathon le the mad to immortality, and maintain inviolate the Royal pisrepsimm If this great object is attained, the grateful Mamma WE girt/firmly reward his subjects, whose loyalty shall have prevented the ruin of these his dominions. • Listen to the voice of honour and of justice, and you will gain the reward due to valour. " PEDRO ANTONIO DE OLANETA. " Oruro, Jan. 4, 1825." ANOTHER PROCLAMATION OF GEN. OLANETA TO THE PEOPLE OF PERU. " The army of the North has been dispersed at Quinuapata, by a treachery peculiar to those called .Liberals. Not being able to accomplish she criminal projects over the reported Empire and Co ronation of Gen. La Seta, their revenge has been to sacrifice the loyal men who, for 14 years, have never yielded their arms to the enemy. As soon as they saw the Commander wounded and taken prisoner, they capitulated, delivering up the army of Peru, the Provinces as far as the Desaquadero, the fortress of Callao, and whatever their perfidy dictated. It is difficult to believe in so much wickedness or weakness, but facts too clearly prove it, and the crime Is consummated. Is, therefore, the King's cause desperate in Peru ? No. It has honourable defenders to support its armies, and resources and valour. Little reverses do not discourage mag naaimous minds. Let us hasten to seek danger, and the triumph will be ours. " Major-Oeneral Don Pio Tristan has taken the command. He has already above five thousand men, which, with my army, will save Peru. If by an unexpected accident he also enters into the capitulation, the troops who have retreated, knowing the treason of their generals, and all good men united to the valiant soldiers who accompany me, will die to maintain the rights of the King in this part of the Spanish monarchy, rather than give up our amiies to the enemy. Firm in this oath, they already march to commence their operations, confiding in their discipline, valour, and perseverance, but above all on Divine Provi dence, which never abandoned the defenders of their religion, and those who were faithful to their King, Ferdinand VII. " People of Peru,—My calumniators have already vindicated me in the face of the world,—it will observe my conduct, which has always been in the path of duty. Long experience has ahewn you the terrible consequences of anarchy. Remain quiet while the army exerts itself Me your safety. Do not fear the event, which will be favourable.

ARTISTS' BENEVOLENT FUI • Saturday there was a public dinner at Frermasone Hall, the stiteeuth Anniversary of the Society, established creating a fund for the relief of the Widows and Urpha The Right Hon. ROBERT . PEEL in the Chair, supported by ,ord Viscout Palmerston, Sir Ilugh Jones, Bart. 114. P, Walt on Taylor, Esq. M.P., John P. Grant, Esq. M.P., &c. &c. &c. Nearly 300 gentlemen SAS down to dinner, and the gallery was filial with ladies. After the cloth had been removed, and Non Nair Doniine sung, The CFI timAN rose to give the first toast—" The health of the King," in doing which, he said that he only pursued the course customary on all similar occasions; but though such were not the case, such tribute of respect would be due to his present 3lajesty in consequence of the obligations which they more particuLely owed him ; for in him they must recognise a most munificent Patron of the Arts. However he might exult in the military glory of the country, or however his mind might be harrassed by the duties inseparable from his high station, yet never did he deny his protection and his encouragement to the Fine Arts; for his en• lightened mind saw that in - being thtir patron, he was consulting die advantage and raising the glory of the country over which he reigned. His Majesty wax not only a liberal patron of the Fine Arts, but an enlightened judge of their productions, as was evinced by the splendid collections he had made, not at the expense of the public purse, but from his own private funds. The health of his Majesty, he was sure, the company then assembled would receive with enthusiasm, even without that additional claim upon their Beatitude to which lie had yet to advert. His 3liijestydid not permit his patronage to be solicited for that Institution ; but on the con trary, when be (Mr. Peel) after speaking generally On the subject of the Society was about to solicit for it the Rcyal patronage, his Majesty anticipated him, saying—.` I ought to be the Patron of snch a Society." (Loud applause.) Accordingly the King had commissioned him to declare this to the company, and to pitmen• to them at the same a donation of one hundred guineas, as a slight mark of his sincere desire to contribute to the prosperity of the Institution. The health of the King was then given from the Chair, and re ceived by the company with great enthusiasm. The next toast which the Chairman proposed was the Duke of York and the other members of the Royal Family. Their high rank, he said, would entitle them to this mark of respect from any assemblage of his Majesty's subjects, but he thought theannouncr ment of their health would to the present company prove peculiarly acceptable, when it was recollected that without a single exception they were always willing to devote their time, and afford theadvan. tape of their countenance and example, to the work of charity. Phis toast was then drank with three times three. After some interval the Chairman proposed another toast, " the Army and Navy of Great Britain." Between these bodies and the artists there was he said a natural connection; they were mutually indebted to each other, the one afforded subjects of the noblest order for the exercise of the Fine Arts, and the other repaid the ob. I ligation by commemorating the high achievements of heroism. Lord PALMERSTON then addressed the company for the put. pose of submitting to them a toast which he doubted not they would receive with much pleasure, he meant the health of his Right Hon. Friend who then presided. The presence of that friend completely prevented his attempting to do justice to the sentiments of respect and admiration, which he in common with all men, entertained for his distinguished character; he was sure, however, that they would supply in thought what he was unwilling to state in words. One length he could not help going it, was that of expressing hit con - - vietien thar they could not have found any one better qualified to preside over such an assemblage, or a more ardent admirer of the Fine Arts. - Drunk with the usual honours, accompanied by very great ap plause. The CHAIN WAN.—" Really, gentlemen, I am quite overpowered by the very handsome manner in which you have done me this honour. Ido assure you that lam unaffectedly grateful for it, and proved too in becoming the object of such favourable regard. My Noble Friend did me no more than justice in saying that I was an ardent admirer of the Fine Arts, and I can with sincerity add that I shall lose no opportunity of contributing to their advance. ment and means." (Applause.) Shortly afterwards the Chairman proposed the health of " the President and Members of the Royal Academy," and in the speech with which he prefaced the toast, observed that although the exhi bition of the present year was but so short a time open, yet he was sure that the greater part of those who heard him had already had an opportunity of enjoying the high gratification of visiting it, and of witnessing the extraordinary specimens of art which graced its wails. He trusted that at no distant period the country would pro vide a fitter place for the display of the Artists' labours. I Ap. plauae.) This he said with the greater confidence, being aware that it was a subject which his Majesty had near at heart. In giving this toast lie could not help expressing regret at the absence of his valued friend, the President of the Academy, caused at that absence was by ill health. He was sincerely sorry that he was not then present, in order that he might witness in what deserved earl. mation they held his character as a gentleman, and his talents u an artist. It was true he confined the exercise of these talents to a branch of art which some were disposed to under value, but he 131 r. Peel) could never consent to acknowledge the inferiority of that which was employed in handing down to posterity the effigies of those who had been distinguished by virtue or by genius. Me could not advert to the subject without remembering the beautiful language in which Dr. Johnson had spoken of the art of portrait painting. He then quoted the passage, which was nearly to this ef fect :—" That he (Dr. Johnson) should grieve to see Reynolds transfer his powers to any ether department of art than that which employed in diffusing friendship and reviving affection. in recalling the absent and restoring the presence of the dead." He concluded by entreating the company to join with him in drinking the health of the President and Members of the Royal Acadettiy.—Three times three. " Prosperity to the British Institution" was the next toast. The health of Prince Leopold followed. The CHAU/MAN then rose to give " Prosperity to the Fund for the Relief of the NVidows and Orphans of Artiets." There was no toast that could have stronger demands upon their favour. The Artists who contributed to this fund did not contemplate for themselves personally any pecuniary advantage; but in sub. scribing to it they thought it was not too much to call on the public to aid them in making a provision for those who might be left in digress. It must be felt that, in adopting the profession of the Artist, the motives which actuated them were pure front the slightest alloy of any thing sordid ; for it wet well known that in this great commercial country the exertion of the same talents fn any other walk of life would procure them a much higher peen, niary compensation : but for the noble object of honourable dis. tinction, the young artist was willing to submit to all the toils and privation which were, he feared, nectuarily incident to the profession : it was one too in which genius did not always triumph —in which ability was not always acknowledged, at least during the life-time of the artist. It was not then, he thought, too much for men so actuated to expect that the pablic would come for ward and rescue those from want who were most dear to them, in the event of they themselves being lea successful than their more funuuate competitors. If any dread of " chill penury could repress the genial current of their souls," it would be on account of those they might leave behind them; and it was this %ditch a public who owed them so much was bound to prevent. -lie would now propose—" Prosperity to the Artists' lkuevolent Fund." (Applause.) The next toast was—" The health of Sir John Swinburne." Mr. SOL LY returned thanks. " The Vice-President, the Committee, and Officers, were then toasted." "Success to the Artists' Joint Stock Annuity Fund," was next given. The SECRETARY then read the annual Retort of the Com mittee, which laid before the company the state of the Society. and the advantages which resulted from it. He also read a list of donations, amounting to e 3131. 135.; which, with the annual pay ments of 1201. was, in the whole, a sum of 763/. The CO•IASIAN then gave the health of the Ladies who had that evening honoured the company with their presence—he re gretted that he could not more strictly any with their presence, he regretted that, instead of being placed at such a distance, the ladies had not been more immediately partakers in their festivities. 'l'be toast was then drunk with long-continued applause, anti the compliment gracefully acknowledged by the Ladies. The health of the Stewards being drunk, lord PiteSIEMSTON returned thanks. Several professional singers of eminence were present, and during the intervals between the toasts and speeches, gave much pleasure by the exercise of their great powers. The meeting broke up at an advanced hour. Letters received from Calcutta, dated the end of Decem ber, state that the India Government were busy taking up merchant vessels as transports for six months certain. The King of Spain has issued a Decree, which permits the introduction of foreign grain into the ports of Cadiz, Algesiras, Seville, Almeria, and Malaga, until the 31st of May. The duty is fixed at 10 rials per fanega. The merchants connected with the trade of Gibraltar have been lately annoyed by an interruption to the usual communication through Madrid ; from what cause this has occurred is not at prevent known. On Friday last Robert E. Broughton, Esq. was called to the ;tar by the Honourable Society 4.. f the Inner Temple. The elephant presented by the Pacha of Egypt has ar rived at Havre. it ►s a female, and of a different species from that of our male elephant. Great value is attached to this circumstance. The African specks differs in its form and habits ; its ears are larger, and its tusks grow to a considerable sire. Two young lions, male and female, have also arrived, and two others are on their way. Yesterday morning, as a mechanic was angling in the Regent's Canal, near the Rosemary Branch, he observed a bundle floating in the water, and on drawing to land, discovered that it contained the body of an infant, but a few days old. From the ap.. pearance of the child , it could not have been long dead. It was at first carried to Mr. Heath's, a surgeon, residing to lioxton, but as the vital spark was totally extinct, the body was by his directions conveyed to Shoreditcla Church, till • Coroner's Jury could be summoned to examine into the cause of its death.
