We have received a file of the Buenos Ayres Paper, El Argos, to the 11th of September. It brings some interest * intelligence as to the state of the civil war between the Spaniards in Peru. It completely explains the news we pot:dished on the 16th instant, and which at the time com plately puzzled our contemporaries learned in South Ame rican affairs. On the 20th of June, at Potosi, OLANITA issued a Manifesto, addressed to the inhabitants of Peru, in which he denounced LASERNA, CANTARAC, VALDEZ, MONET, and the other Spanish Constitutionalists in Peru, as enerni, , s to the rights of the throne. Since the publica tion of this Manifesto, which we will lay before our readers at full to-morrow, hostilities hare been waged fiercely between VALDEZ and OLANETA, the former having the nearest command to this rebellions Ultra-Royalist. His adherentr, it will be seen, avow and glory in the most savage ferocity, and they seem to be much more enter prising and desperate than the Constitutionalists, who, we: suppose, do not very clearly understand what they are fighting for. General CA AAAAA LA, it now appears, was captured on the 14th of July by some partisans' of OLANET•, by surprise, in the city of Potosi, which that General had evacuated some weeks before. The first account we had of CAIRATALA . , being made prisoner, represented that he had been talc! n after a severe engage n.ent between the two Spanish armies; but it is now clear that there had been no general battle previous to his cap ture. VALDEZ was then in the vicioity of Chuquisaca, and it is not improbable, from the violent feelings and un bounded confidence of the soldiers of Ocastsra, that if ti.t: former chose to hazard a conflict, the latter would not decline it, though with forces of inferior number. OLANITA seems to have organized the country under his command judiciously for his own purpos:s, and to have strongly attached a great number of persons to his interests. Of Republicans, or Independents, there appears to be but very few ineleetl, at least in Upper Peru. A:i the dissen t:Jos of the Royslists have not induced a single party to make its appearance, though the trade of war is, we ap prehend, the best that can be followed at the present mo ment in that part of the werld. The editor of the Argos thinks that when Guerilla parties can be formed, who c carry on their opt r.,tions without any dancer of being debated (sin temor alrt:no de srr tdilts), the Patriots of Peru will be encouraged to c,itie forward and look their enemies in the face. NVlletlitr they will manifest this extraordinary thgree of devotion to the liberty and independence of their country, or whether they will wait patiently till Bo LIVAR saves them all HA: ar.d trouble or every kind, we shall perhaps shortly know. It appears to us, from all that we see in the Ilmnos Ayres papers, that the Peruvians are still likely to act upon l'alstilr* pru dential maxim. [From the Argos of Scpten.ber 3.1 UPPER PERU. The twl letters which we inserted in a former Number, con. carving the civil war which is carried on in Upper Peru between the Spanish Omenla Maness and Valdes, contain the details of the operations of bath panics since the 25th of June, the date at which the former evacuated the fortress of Potosi. We are now to insert an autograph document by ;he Commander Arraja, which or accident has fallen :nto cur hands. and in which we have an acount of the daring and heroic ewe:miss of the entm .ce of the penis/ma of Matta into Potosi. CAT•CAITIT, JrLy 19. My Dar Friend,—l am just arrived from Potosi, and here we are to remain as lung as the General shall think proper. Oa the }ash we entered Potosi, at six o'clock in the morning, with sixty drarions tastier my command, who behaved not like soldiers, but lito boos. The enemy were shut up in their quarters in the for. arse, so that no ball could retch them. The gmud of General Carratala eonohsted of twelve men, who were stationed at the door of the Governiord House, and in all • hundred and fifty men, wall armed and pcsiriored. The Commandant, Macquiegni, sowed at the head of his troop. 21arquiegui himself, and all my abate% appeared like so may ferocious wild traits. We took Venstal Cassia:Ala, with twenty.fire prisoners. Sotr.e escaped, by shrieting themselves is to the quarters at Ilr:sn, the entruoce of %high Ling stronyly barricaded, we were u::ahle to fcree. They sues,i,:ed the windows and balconies, add kept up a Ste upon us. aa J it had been a esetle ; but by silty dragoons, at the distance of ten poets, ea-I:savoured to attack the house, in order to destroy than nsiessrahle cowards. Seeing we had no sabres, we retired. of the General and the prisoners. The enemy came out afterwards, and marched in MOW hilly and broken ground ; in wh.eta we could aot charge theta. My intentions were to cut them fo kleca, ate IngliMitll the cliair with my dragoons, m they bad killed two of our soldiers, and wounded one. We hot also five horses. Five of the enemy were killed, notwithstanding their being covered. General Valdez is in the vicinity of Chuquisaca. Potosi is abandoned by the enemy, and Medina Cell has peobably entered it to-day. We retired in consequence of the lameness of the ca valry. (Signed) PEDRO A ItRAVA. En much audacity andbravery es the details contained in the pre ceding document display, as well es the number of Partin which Olincta has sent out in the interior of Peru, under the command of officers distinguished by qualities similar to those displayed by Arrays and Marquiegui, induce us to conclude, without fear of mistake, that notwithstanding the reverses which Genenl Olaneta has already, or may hereafter surer, the civil war between the Spaniards will not by any means be soon extinguished. It is true that the greater part of the army of General Olaneta, t'sat is to say, that pan which Is composed of all those whose private interests are not compromised, will easily come over to the more successful party, or will disperse, in order to avoid being implicated in a contest which is purely personal. But it must be observed, that there is in that army a considerable number of individuals, whose fate depends upon the continuance of Ghosts In the command of Upper Peru, and consequently on the mercantile and military system which he had established in those provinces. This party, although It certainly is not the largest in number, is undoubtedly the most powerful, as the agent also is who guides its actions. We have seen some private letters, in which it is atSrmed that the commander, Agu,lera, of the party of Olimeta, has completely destroyed Gilead la Hera in the neigh. botalmed of La Psi. If this event be certain, we believe that its results must be of great importance, and must prove highly prejudicial to the interests of General Valdez. The light troops, or rather parties of mountaineers, which are to be formed in considerable numbers, will, without any danger of bein defeated, serve not only to oppose continually those who had called themselves Constitutionalists, but also to encourage the spirit of some of the Patriots in that quarter, and to revive the old Reps& kquetes, which have so long incommoded the enemies of our lade pmdence. General Glenna was in the port of San Juan on the 27th of August last, with a force of about 3,100 men, not SOS, es we erroneously stated in our last number. That Mr. FsuNTLZIOY'S case should have been deemed one from which the mercy of the Crown should be with held, is a result upon which we shall abstain from any lengthened comment. The Council, we are bound to pre sume, have given their advice in the discharge of what they conscientiously consider an imperative though painful duty :if so, we have only to lament it. Keen will be the regret that this announcement will carry with it through a very wide circle of the kingdom. It may be that there are considerations of great weight, which outweigh those which procured so many thousand signatures to the petition which besought the commutation of his punishment ;—of this we canuot judge :—not knowing what these considerations are, we cannot of court either feel their force or estimate their effect. Ti'e earnest solicitude on behalf of Mr. Fax NTLI soy, which has been so extensively manifested, is honour able to the character of the country ; and, as far as human consolation call go, he can, himself, have none greater than this tribute of sympathy must convey to him. The public have not lightly made up their minds upon his casc,—they have canvassed it closely,—they have looked at it nar rowly, and in all its btarings,—atid the result has been that their sense of justice is on the same side with their hu manity. The relentless rigour of the Bank may possibly be an effective policy ; whether it be, upon the whole, a wise one, is toothier and a very different qu• stion. There may be an over-dor e zeal even in the pursuit of very desirable ends: of this we arc certain, that the hulk of the people will not easily be persuaded that either the hiterlst of the Bank or of the public could be at all lessened by givltig an occasional mitigation to that severity which takes the life of the offender, under circumstances which, as in the case of Mr. Fail:NT/AI:0Y, most urgently call fur, am' would trios: amply justify it. The Returns ordered to be printed by the !louse of Commons, stating the number of persons committed under the Vagrant Laws in England and Wales during the last four years, and also the stuns paid for apprehending, main taining, and passing vagrants during the same period, have been delivered. We regret that, for the most part, the gross numbers have been stated without distinguishiog the proportion committed each year. Where the numbers have been separately given, we are glad to find in these Returns fresh evidence of the growing improvement in the moral and social condition of our country. There is in every instance, excepting only where particular circum stances of a local and peenliar nature have interfered, a great and progressive decrease in the numbers of those idle and diserele ply persons, who, by their unlawful and immoral course of life, tender themselves liable to the vagrant laws. Thus, the total number to the Devon House of Correction in 1820, was 1,157 ; in 1821, 677 ; in 1822, 489 ; and in 1823, 531. In the city of Exeter, the diminution is even greater. The summary of persons committed is, in 1820, 157 ; in 1621, 86 ; and in 1822 and 1829, only 44. The progression is sirriler in the other counties and places where the proportion of commitments each year is specified. The next instance we meet with in the Returns, from which we can learn the rate of decrease, is Hampshire. The numbers committed for vagrancy at the Gosport House of Correction, were, in 1820, 157 ; in 1821, 119 ; in 1822, 41 ; and in 1823, 99. The account of commitments at Hertford is given, it stands thus t—ln 1820, 263; 139 ; 1822, 40; 1523, 26. These may fairly be taken as sam ples of the whole. We are particularly glad to notice, that the decrease of vagrancy is especially remarkaLle in the agricultural districts—the best proof of the greatly im proved state of that important interest. We are not dis posed to become the apologists of crime under any circum stances; but it must be evident to the most superficial observer, that the pressure of distress btu a strong ten dency to induce the lower classes to resent to irre gular means of subsistence. Indeed it sometimes oc curs, in seasons of great difficulty, that some are al most unavoidably driven to have recourse to acts of tnendicity for their temporary austentation. The happy decrease that we now witness in the numbers of this class of petty offenders is, therefore, a sub jezt of just congratulation with all well-wishers to their country. It chews that the resources of honest and independent in dustry hare been considerably augmented, and are daily augmenting; for certainly no one will pretend that the laws aye lets vigil:tatty or effectually enforced. On the contrary, he must be more deaf than the dead who has not heard the outcries latterly raised, in default °fall other !nat ter for carping, by the Whig Journalists, against the op pressive severity with which the unpaid Magistracy exercise their functions. What, then, cn their own 'hewing, must be the prosperity of the country, when, in spite of all that we arc told as to the unjustifiable excesses of the provin cial Justices of the Peace, we find the number of their supposed victims daily ? And 1.4 us for a mo ment, in referent to the eminent statesmen to whom we have alluded, consider under what circumstances this happy change has been effected. We were assured by these prophetic sages, at the time wiser. these Returns conuncru.,'Ll the beginning of 1820, that the distresses of the people must of necessity go on increasing, pauperism spreading, crimes multiplying, until rufa—utter, irretrievable, waver- TTIE BRITISH PRESS. sal ruin—ingull'ked and destroyed the nation, unless the public faith was broken, the Established Church pillaged, and the Constitution of the land overturned. These reme dits, we all know, were, however, happily rejected. From such hands public benefits, could we suppose them to be offered, would be doubtfully and suspiciously received; but the clear, palpable, arolacious mischief of their schemes was at one peiceive,l, am! by the sound majority of the kingdom indignantly spurned. We have recovered from the exhaustion of a long war of unexampled exertion, by adhering to a course precisely the opposite of that tecom mended to us by our silly or insidious friends; the public faith has been preserved inviolate ; the Established Church has been maintained in all its rights and privileges; the Constitution has been defended in every part, and strength ened by fresh securities. The results of this policy are before us: the voice of faction is stifled; distress has dis appeared ; all the great interests of the country enjoy unparalleled prosperity. Long may this haispy state of things continue; but let us always bear in mind that, under Providence, we owe it to the wise and vigorous policy which saved us from conquest by our foreign foes, and from what woubd have heot more disastrous and dis graceful still—confusion by our domestic disturbers. THE SING'S COURT. Yesterday, at one o'clock, his Majesty held a Court at his Palace in Pall-mall, which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lan caster, the President of the Board of Trade, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Lord Steward of the Household, the Master of the Horse, the Treasurer of the Household, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, the Re corder of London, 7.ord G:ectlyon (in waiting), Sir Hil grove Turner (Groom in Waiting), the Right waiting , Stratford Canning, Sir Charles Bagot, Sir Charles Stuart, and Judge Palmer. His Majesty gave audiences to Mr. Secretary Peel and Mr. Secretary Canning. The Ri..,ht Hmourahle Stratford Canning was presented to the King by Mr. Secretary Canning. and kicked hands, on his being appointee.: Ambassador to the Court of St. Pen rsburgh. The Right Honourable Sir Charles Bagot was presented by Mr. Secretary Canning, and kined hands, upon his being appointed Ambassador to the King of the Nether lands. The Right Honourabk Sir Charles Stuart was formally introduced by Mr. Secretary Canning, and had the honour of an audience of his Majesty upon his return from his Embassy at Paris. Mr. Chad was presented to the King upon his being ap pointed on a special mission to Dresden. Ralph Palmer. Esq. was Presented by Mr. Wynn, upon his being appointed one of the Judges at Madras, on which occasion he received the honour of Knighthood. Sir Angustus West, M.D., Knight, Commander of the Tower and Sword, received the honour of Knighthood. Afterwards the Recorder of London was admitted into the presence of the King in Council, and made his report of the Convicts capitally c,mvieted at Justice Hall in the Old Bailey, at the last Old Bailey Session, with the excep tion of the case of Harris. Mr. Secretary Peel presented to the King in Council, several Petitions relative to :he case of Henry Fauntleroy. The Recorder's &port occu pied upwards of an hour and a half. His Majesty also gave audiences to the Lord Chancellor and Mr. Wynn. Tate Court broke up a little before six o'clock. E:ery thing on the Consol Market was very flat during yester.lay ; and on the whole, Stocks have rather fallen. In the Mexican Funds something was done, but not to the extent that might have been expected. By a private letter from Carthagena, via New York, dated the 17th September, it is s'atea. that Bolivar is following up his victory, and pursuing Cantarac, whose retreat is converted into a perfect tour. Callao is rigorously invested by sea and land, so that Lima must of necessity have fallen, and probably to the troops under the command of General Miller. —...—.. A morning paper has stated, that the Canada Company is in danger of not being recognised by the C.overtitnent. We have good reason to believe that this is erroneous, and that every thing has gone on smoothly between the con tracting parties. It is meat probable that the pnagraph in question was paid for by a person having an interest in lowering the Stock of the Company, for the purpose of buying in at a cheap rate; for although we think that these shares have risen more rapidly than it was reasonable to expect them, they are still a good Stock for the investment of capital. Despatches were yesterday received at the Colonial Office from the Marquis of Hastings, at Malta. Charles X. and his son ate indefatigable in their labours in the Cabinet ; and they grant, besides, numerous audi ences to persons of all ranks. The chase is thrir only re laxation. The King has paid several visits incogßik, to various public establishments, with a view to ascertain the management of those valuable institutions. This activity of the King is a quality which renders him, daily, an ob ject of increasing attachment to his people. Extract of a private letter, dated Cadiz, MT. 19 : " There is at this moment in Cadiz absolutely nothing doing in the commercial world, and all the Spanish fami lies who arc in good circumstances and connected with business are daily embarking for the United States and the liavannah. Every one here mins to distrust the King and the present Government."

Lee FTION OF • VOI.C•NO IN ONE OF VIII CANARY ISLA NDS.—Ily II letter from the Canary Islands, we ham, that on the 3lst of August last, a volcano burst forth at a place called Tao, about six miles from the port of Atreiffe, in Lanzarote, one of the Canaries. _A vast body of flame suddenly burst forth from the earth, accompanied with a tremendous noise, and throwing up from the opening, rocks of several tons weight, to an immense height. This crop !ion contlaued without cessation during eighteen hours. The place at which the volcano burst out was a level plain, on which there now stands a mountain, in height and shaps resembling the other mountains of the island, all li obviously of volcanic origin, as they arc evidently niasses of lava. Thu crater, which is computed to be several hundred yards in length in its greatest diameter. presented one vast glare of deep red flame during the eruption, and the lava, which at length burst through the side of the mountain, and dividing, r•tt in two directions, but did not extend be yond 600 yards. Had this liquid fire extended itself as it did in the eruption that happened about a century ago, the greater part of the island would have been destroyed. Al togeth.:r, the 'retie was tnost terrific, and from the vibratory sensation exp-rienced, even its the remotest parts of the island, the inhabitants were in momentary dread of an tarthquake: The alarm has not indeed yet sutwided, as the mountain still continues to vomit up alternate clouds of smoke and sulphur, and a second eruption is generally ex pected. PARIS [MIX OUR COIRESPONDRXT•I PARIS. Nov. 21. The Paris Journals have frequently made honourable mention of M. Appert, jun. a young man, who has de voted the whole of his time, for several years, with the greatest zeal, to the propagation of the system of n:utual in struction, and to the amelioration of prison discipline. He is the anther of reveral well-written reports on these inter- ! csting subjects. His writings on the state of the prisons in France, have been submitted to the Dauphin, as President of the Society for the Improvement of Prisons ; and his ! Royal Wellness has (amassed his approbation of the zeal and talent s of the author, whom lie has taken under his particular patrona g e. M. Appert being desirous of going through the prisons iii Paris, in which it is well ; known the most scandalous abuses exist of every kind, the ! Dauphin, on Friday week, gave him a letter to M. de Corbiere, (Erecting him to give the necessary orders that; M. Appert might be enabled to examine, freely, into the ' state of the different prisons. With this letter ref. Appert went immediately to the Minister's Hotel. It is the es tablished etiquette, that when any person waits up.in a Minister from the King, or any member of the Royal Family, the Minister should advance to meet him as far as the anti-chamber, but on this occasion, when M. Ap pert was announced as coming from the Dauphin, the Minister, who detests M. Appert, as a friend of publ: in struction, not only dispensed with meeting him in the anti chamber, but suffer it him to remain there alone for three hours and a half. After this long attendance (which alone was certainly an insult to the Dauphin, as well as M. Ap pert), that gentleman was introducnl, and received with the most hanghty coldness by M. de Corbiere, who, after having read his Royal Highness's letter, replied, in a tone of indignant authority, " I do not see the necessity for your going over the prisons in Paris. The prisons are under my direction, and I am sorry I cannot agree with the views of the Dauphin." • It is easy to imagine the surprise and anger felt by the Prince, when M. Appert made him acquainted with the insolent answer of the Mi nister of the Intel ler. Ills Royal Highness instantly wrote to M. de Corbiere the following laconic note—" The Dau phin will see M. de Corbie..e to-morrow at twelve." This formula. according to the usage of the Court, is the same es a positive command. The Miniver was, them fore, ob liged to obey it, but the hour fixed by the Prince was pre cisely that at which M. Ccrbiere was to transact busi ness with the King; the Dauphin, nevertheless, insisted on being obeyed, and this was the reason why the Secre tary-Ganeral of the Minister of the Interior caudal his portfolio to the King's Council Chamber, wife the Mi nister himself waited upon the Dauphin, with whtm lie had a long canCrence. Tic: circumstance of a Minister's portfolio being carried to Court while he remains in office, is so unusual, that it gave rise, on the day following, to the report that M. de Corbiere was at last dismissed from the Miciatey.
