Her " Should lie up braid" (which was introduced), met with an unanimous and deserved encore. Miss Graddon also gave Bishop's tong of " Tell me, my heart," with particular delicacy and sweetness ; and we think the performanee of this young lady decidedly improved since the beginning of the season. Sapio took the character of the Seraskier.

Seventy-two of the chosen among the different nations marched in divisions of twelve each. After Divine Service they were introduced into the Grand Saloon of CLlnent VIII. in the Palace of the Vatican, and placed, round a table Tepared for the purpose. The Holy Father helped them to soup with his own hands, and sitting down among them, partook of their repast. He afterwards distributed among them a crown of silver and medals of the same metal. Lucien Murat, who watt some time ago:arrested on the Spanish territory by Gleeful (Mountll and confined at Algesiraa, has, it appears, at length been liberated, on the American Minister giving his pledge that hz shall not re turn to Spain cr the Sillies, but proceed direct to Ame rica.

PHRENOLOGY. On Tuesday evening Dr. Spursheim delivered his thirteenth lec ture on the science of Phrenology, at the Crown and Anchor Ta vern. On this oc cas i on h e treated of the mutual influence o f th e faculties of the mind ; and in entering on this part of his subject, it was important to observe, that the phrenological organs had not been disco vered in the philosophical ord e r i n w hi c h h e h a d sta t e d them in hot lectures; and it was a strong corroboration of the truth 'f the plirenolog'eal system, that all t h e p ro p ens i t i es common to men and animals were seated in the posterior portion of the brain those peculiar to man were in the frontal and upper region. It was remarkable slam that those which were necessary to assist e ach ot h er in their functions were placed in each otte'r's neighbonrltund. Another observation was important as to the size of the organs . Their dimensions were not arbitrarily assigned to them by the pro- I fessors of hrenology. They differed naturally in siz e . All t h at the phrenol ogist did was to discover the size of each organ as nature bad determined it. The same organ was very different in size in different . indirkluale ; and the reason was, because the sphere o f their act ivity was different in each person. Sonic faculties took the lead, .and the rest, feebler in _power and smaller in development, acted i n subjection to them. 7'he fact that certain powers were at tached to partienlar parts of the cerebral mass, was disco erred by observation. Reason alone could not have indicated the respective organ, of thebrain any more than it could divine in a corpse the purposes to which the viscera were appropriated. if nothing was known of the actions of the living body. Observation only could ascertain which parts of the cerebral mass were the organs of the faculties. As the student advanced in his knowledge of phrenology he would perceive and understand its usefulness. The Professor teminded the auditory that in his first lecture he had remarked that it was impossible to explain the utility of any branch of 'wiener: until the party to whom the explanation was to be given had made himself master of the subject. First it was necessary to know the thing ; its application might then be understood, but certainly not till then. The utility of phrenology to artists who had to represent nature was obvious. One of the doctrine-3 of this science was, that the rest of the head was as modified in its appearance as the fare. He had shown by a drawing of the human head, that by leaving the face theaante,inall is features, and nhangiog. ate back owe, how different would be the result in the appearance of the whole. It became therefore important that artists should stud• the con figuration if the head generally. What opinion then should be entertainedof those artists who gave the same conformation of head to all their portraits ? Yet this was very common, and with men who fancied themselves skilled in their profession, but wbo, unfor tunately for themselves, knew nothing of phre , ology. The Professor then observed, that the next step in the science would lead them into a region of entire novelty t it related to the direct application of physiognomy to the purposes of common life. The principles of physiognomy were by some denied, by others admitted, but by very row understood. To a certain extent all persons were physiognomisrs. Children, and even animals, judged much by the expression of the countenance. A dog always looked at the face, and especially at the eyes, of the person who spoke to hint. Whatever might be the nature of the artificial language addressed to him, the dog judged by the move. ments of thecotintenance. If the experiment were tried of scolding a dog in our artificial speech, while the face betrayed no emotions of anger, the dog would perhaps be for a moment puzzled by the contrast between the tone and the countenanee, but lie would rely upon the latter as the more certain indication of feeling. In the same meaner children always looked in the face of their parents and tutors, to ascertain whether the sentiments they uttered were true. This expression of the countenance the Prole/woe styled natural language, in contradistinction to the sounds of the voice, which he te=nted artificial language. By the latter we communi cated what passed internally, by signs artificially invented for that purpose. Natural language belonged to all existent animals, as soon as any9ower of the mind was active ; it was indicated by ex ternal signs dictated by nature. Before a further advance was made it was necessary to settle the meaning of the word physiognomy. Etymologically considered, it was a compound Greek term, signify ing the knowledge of nature. It was commonly defined to be the doctrine of internal qualities by extern:ll signs. By most writers it was divided into two parts. Lavater, in what he properly celled his fragmenta of this science, considered his subject as essentially COT. posed of the two branches of physiognomy and pathognomy. The former related to the configuration of the solid parts—the latter to the motion of the soft parts. This distinction had been made by very ancient writers, but still it had not been sufficiently attended to. Lavater often confounded the appearances that depended on motion, with those which depended solely on configurat.on. The reason was that be had established no principle to guide his obser vations of nature. Lavater certainly possessed a hoe tact, and read the characters of mankind with great facility, but he had no prin ciple of judgment. The question then was, whether any principle could be clearly established. If it could, it would be highly im portsun to actors and artists, and all whose pleasure or avocations engaged them in the imitation of nature. Those persons, however, generally denied that any such principle existed. It was their opi nion that this power of disci...illation must be naturally possessel, and that no rules could teach It. "If we feel we haves it," they maid, "we are sure to sneered—if not we, must fall." There were some persons in ordinary life who had a keen and penetrating judg ment with respect to those with whom they came into con tact. Some actors performed one line of characters excel lently, and failed in all others. The question was then, he re peated, whether it was possible to establish rules of natural action ? He believed that all the works of the Creator were according to allimi—isstileogyoriett unsettled. —Wows true that some individuals had such a clear and delicate perception of the agree ment of things, that formal rules were not necessary to guide them. Some persons knew at once what colours would assort together, and In music what tones would b. in concord. Some could reason per fectly without any assistance from logic. But for all individuals of ordinary talent, rules were necessary. Ile was speaking of prin ciples; and again lie would remark. they could not be created or in vented ; they could only be perceived or discovered. Two and two were four, long before any mathematical knowledge existed in the world. Those who had the organ of Imitation largely developed, could easily read the character of others ; but to those who had not much of this faculty, principles must be given for their assistance. In the oldest writers, passages might be found which showed that they bad perceived the existence of natural language. Many traces of it were in the works of Solomon, Aristotle, and Cicero ; yet not ore principle had been established with respect to it. The reason was, that the fundamental powers of the mind were not known. As soon as they were ascertained, the basis was laid for erecting the principles of natural language. The fancies of mere physiognomists vanished before the science of phrenology. No longer was the attention directed to the shape of the head, to deter mine whether the individual had the power of comparison ; or the length of the fingers, to judge whether he had the sentiment o f be. nevolence ; or the tuna of the nose, to decide whether he had the faculty of wit. In physiognomy there were several external signs to manifest one power. and they sometimes were all wanting in an individual who 'possessed it; but in phrenology the same organ was constantly appropriated to the same power, and its develop ment always corresponded with the activity of the faculty. Nature was infinite in her modificatiuns, but fixed in her principles. For that reason he denied that physiognomy could indicate the talents and character of individuals. It was necessary to go to the parts where the powers resided. The internal powers manifested them selves externally by the five senses, and the faculty of voluntary motion. Every action was the result of the powers of the mind ; and therefore it was by the actions of each individual that the state of activity of his powers could be ascertained.— Suppose the organ of Self-esteem was largely developed. how could it be known whether that power was active ? By the natural language of the individual. By the i development merely, it was known whether he was more or less deposed osn that direction; tut by his actions, the degree of activity in the power could be known at once. The powers being destined to act, em ploy ed the instruments necessary to action, and in that way action took place. Let the productions of nature and art be subjected to the application of this principle, in order to . determine them con formity. The Professor then displayed a cast of the fighting Gladiator, which, in the Catalogue of the Louvre, was described as being in a position admirably calculated to tight. But it eras evi dent on examination, that if that was the design of the artist, that his statue etas contrary to the first natural law of expression. The same remark was applicable to the Apollo Belvidere. It wan said that the God was watching the et net of the arrow he had just d *charged against the serpent Python. But those who bad seen archers (as tote Profosar had. at Ldinburgh) would never see one stand in such au attitude to observe the flight of their arrows : the left arm would drop instantly. No artist had better understood the laws of natural language than Haph.aeL To shake hands was not an action dictated by nature; but the mode of perforating it would enable any observer to decide whether the ftiendship between the parties was active. In sincere friends, die power of attachment went, as it were, through their very fingers. :Bore confidence should be reposed in natural than in artificial language. The seco:.<l law of natural language was, that not only the par ts . necessary to the action would be called into exercise, but amular parts r.lso that were not necessary ; and the third, that there would be a perfect harmony in all the parts in the expression of the natural language. These principles the Professor illustrated by referenco to many works of nature and art, and concluded his address by repeating, that the modifications of nature were infinite, but her principles im mutable. Barristr MoNtron.—The Copyright of the British Monitor ( for many years conducted by Lewis Goldsmith) has been sold to the proprie.ers of the English Gentkneon, who present their most respectful compliments to the friends, connections, and cor respondents of the former paper, and, though unwilling to make useless professions, they may at the SOW time be allowed to ex press a hope that in the English Gentlemen will always be found a " British Monitor." No pains, no anxiety, and no sincerity shall be wanting to ensure the superiority of the present pliblication. Price ;it —Office of the Engles!, Gentleman, No. 7,llrydges-street, Covent-garden.

SlR,—Amongst the tribe of daily papers, which misinform quite as much as they inform the public, I think I have discovered in the Briiish Peers symptoms of candour and raj:fleas, which lead me to believe that it will at all times be open to receive and to communicate the truth. Under this persuasion, I request you to insert a brief refutation of one of the numerous calumnies with which the Morning .Chronicle, from time to time, assails the Established Church :it occurs in the paper of March 20. In order to prove the enorm.-ss wealth of the Irish Bishops, it gives a statement the lands attached to twelve of their Secs, e.n:ount ing, altogether, to somewhat m,oe than 600.000 acres. Now it appears, from a return made to do' Mime of Commons last year, that in nineteen of of the twenty-two Irish Dioceses the Episcopal estates amount to 316,017 Irish acres of profitablb land ; and pro bably the whole amount will be about 618,000 Irish acres, pro fitable and unprofitable. From the manner in which these lands are leased to lay tenants, the otarintum that a Bishop can receive is one-fifth of what the lands are worth ; and it is well known that the Bishops art virtually proprietors only of one-fifth of their estates. It has been. proved by, the clearest evidence, and the Editor of the Illormisag Chroniek Icrown it, tbat, with the exception of the Primacy (and indeed It is probable even with that in cluded), the average of the Itish Bishoprics does not exceed 5.000/. per annum. I would earnelM , recommend the, readers of the 3forning Chet:nick, who have any regent for the maxim of andt alterom partem. to look tit the able and convincing 'meth of the Bishop of Limerick on the third reading of-the Tithe &im position Bill. As to the enormous riches of the Irish Church, we hare fortunately the very best evidence in the results of that Bill. Taking the average of nearly 41.81 par:shes which have com pounded under its provisions, the annual income of the ;lacuna bents is about 298/. ; which, as it appears from come evidence given before the !louse of Commons, is just about the income which is proposed to be paid to a Roman Catholic Rector, with 1001. per annum additional, bit . his Curate : and Is, .moreover, within& taour-d, the stipend wheal NA equalisers of Church re. venues think o' allowing to each of the parochial clergy through out England : although we are tint told whence the funds are to be drawn, the present income of the „English Church not being more than sufficient to pay each clergyman 150/. per annum. So much for the financial accuracy of the !Worming Chronicle: then for its statistics. It descant, upon the unbounded wealth of * Church which has only 500,003 members in the midst of six millions of Roman Catholics." Whereas the fact is. as Mr. Leslie Frorter•has shown, that the actual number of Roman Catholics in Ireland is 4,930,000, and that of Protestants 1,1360,000, of whom about 1,195,003 are of the Church of England. So that the worthy and veracious controversialist of the Chronicle doubles the money and halves the people of the Church. It is a bad cause which must be bolstered up with falsehoods. I ant, Sir, your obedient Servant, • VERAX. . _: • LONDON HOSPITAL ANNIVERSARY. Yesterday the eighty-fifth anniversary of this admirable Insti tution was held at the City of London Tavern. Ilia Royal flightless the Duke of thoCCESTEII took the Chair at six o'clock. Among the company present we noticed the Bishop of Glou cester, Mr. Byng. M.P., Sir Eliab Harvey, M.l'., Mr. Manning, M.P., Sir Wm. DIU/Ird. &c. !Lc. After the removal of the cloth Nen Nadi Domine was sung by the professional gentlemen present. After the health of his Msjcsty and the other usual toasts had been drUnk, that of the Duke of Gloucester was given. Ills ROYAL HIGHNESS, in returning thanks, expressed his re gret that he had not beeri able to attend ou the last Anniversary. He sincerely approved of the oljcets of the Institution, which was wt.rthy of Englishmen. 2,0(1(1. had been expended above the in come of last year, so that it was necessary to increase their funds by renewed exertions. At the innuant when the nation was enjoy ing the greatest prosperity, and was taking the lead in every mea sure conducive to glory, he was sure it would not fail, also, to take the lead in every measure conducive to the Charity. Ilis Royal Highnesi concluded by drinking their very good health'. (Ape plan .e. The health of the Bishop of Gloucester was then drunk. In returning thanks, his LoatssHlP expressed his satisfaction at the admirable matintr in which the Hospital was conducted. He concluded by Observing.. that the Institution was not only indebted to his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, but also in a very high degree to his Highness's Royal Consort, whose health he begged to prorose. His Royal Highness returned thanks. " The Gentleman of the Hebrew Nation" was then drunk with three times three. Dr. Vas °EVEN, in the rime of himself and brethren, returned thanks, Various minr appropriate toasts were then drunk, and the hilarity of the evening was kept up to an advanced hour. SCHOOLS IN THE HIGHLANDS. VettePerky, at the reeentsione Hall, thf 'Society forTropagating the Christian Religion in the HipOods and Islands celebrated its fifty-second London Anniversary FAtiral ; his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex in the Chair. Iletween two and three hundred gentlemen sat down to dinner, and the gallery was filled with ladies. There was a military band, and several professional singers. After the cloth was removed and gtece said, the health of the King was given, and drank with the usual honours. The next toasts wire, " The Duke of York and the rest of the Royal Family ;" " The Navy dad the Army ;" both three times three. 31r. Aseacnostnie then rose, and called upon the company to offer that tribute of respect, which they could not but feel was due to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex and Earl of Inverness. lie was sure that the mere mentdm of his Royal Highneer's name would have more influence with them than any observations of his. There was no circumstance which so cordially united the people and the Royal Family as the zeal with which the latter promoted the' diffusion of knowledge. In this none stood forward more distin guished than the Royal Doke who then presided. lie concluded ' -by proposing the health of their President, which was drunk with great applause. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sossoe said that his first duty was to return thanks to the Company for the kind manner in which they had received the mention of his name, and his next was to thank his lion. and Learne. Friend for the handsome terms in which he was pleased to advert to his exertions in the cause of the Society--a Society in whose success lie felt the deepest interest, for its objects embraced the most remote parts of his Majesty's I dominions. In the few worth he should have the honoar to address to them, with reference to the Society, he trusted that if he had the good fortune to reach the hearts of Scotchmen, he should find but little additional difficulty in arriving at the bottom of their pockets. (Applause.) lie had had the honour of presiding over their meetings for several years. in which office he succeeded to an excellent and near relative of his, now no more. who took the deepest interest in the prosperity of their Institution. his Royal Highness then entered into a brief detail of the origin and progress of the Society ; stating, that although it began with only 1,000/. and five Schools, it now could boast of 300 schools, When the country over which its operations were extended, and the length of time it lasted (120 years), were taken Into account, they could easily calculate the numbers who Enjoyed its advert lees. Ili. Royal Ilighecas then touched upon the causes which had produced a diminution of its funds—the number of Testaments (twenty thousand) which had been circulated in Gaelic ; the expedieuey of tint:seeking to extinguish national lan. guages or to disuse national dreS5C., and various other appropriate topics. lie concluded by stating, that the excess of their expendi. tore over their income, fur the present year, amounted to between 8001 and 9001. . . . . . After some music and singing, his Royal Highness proposed the Health of the Vice-Presidents, regretting that only one of them was present. Mr. Dow NIE. of Appin, returned thanks, and proposed the health of the Earl of Inverness, unconnected with the English title of Sussex, Which was accordingly received with math applause. The Roval Cu vnstes, io returning thank*, called to their mind an old Scotch song. the burden of which, he said was, that the Scotch would never desert the friendless. He hoped they would now keep that sentimmt in view. One of the Secretaries then read the Report, containing a state ment of the Society's accounts, and a vies , of its circumstances r in doing which he took occasion to adJress a few words to the Meeting on the nature and objects of the Society. The PRESIDENT, in proposing the health of Alderman Crowder and the City of shoodon. observed, that no metropolis in the world was more distinguished for its charity, The Worthy Alderman returned thanks in an appropriate speech. " The Health of the Ladies, Subscribers to the Society," was then drunk, with three times three. Ills lt °int, II [WINES*, after a few prefarator7 o'iservations, proposed the health of an Ifon. and Learned Friend near him. (Mr. Abercrombie), which being received and drunk with the usual honours, that gentleman briefly returned thank,. When the health of the Treasurer (Sir Peter Laurie) wan drunk, he addroned the company at considerable length. and roncinded by purposing the health of the son of the Earl of Inverness (Colonel I.Pkiste), then at that table. This toast having been received pith universal plaudits. the 1311- huit Officer returned thanks in suitable terms, and attributed the flattering manner in which his name had been received much more to the feelings that were entertained towards the proposer, and to wards him from whom he had derived his existence, than to any merits of his own. He expressed strongly his attachment to Scot land, bound as he was to that country by both his pareots. The health of the Secretaries was then given from the Chair, and very cordially received by the company ; as were the healthy of Messrs. ,Monteith and Campbell, who s.ere elected Vice-Presi sidents, together with Mr. A Isercrwrillie. The Ste 'Yards' health* were then drunk, and Mr. A atacßomay returned thanks in their name. His Royal Highness and a few of those immediately around him soon after let the Hall, when Mr. Duwxtu took the Chair, and the festive enjoyments of the evening were continued to a late hour. In the course of the enterainment several national send other songs were sung whh much eftirt. and the band played at intervals. The Royal Duke. on Ns entrance aLtl as hie departure, was re ct.:A by Highland pipers. CAMPAIGN IN PERU. Our readers will iterate the following letter from General )filler to a friend in Lima, with much interest. It gives a detailed account of the great blade in Peru, in • which he himself commanded, and with diatingulabed ability. It will be seen, however that the state tlf • the Patriotic forces under llolivar, previously to that decisive victory, was far different from what we lina been !ed to believe, according to the accounts transmitted through the ordinary channels of intelligence. Indeed, If Oeneral Millet's statement be, as we have no doubt it is, accurate, it is : painful to think bow imminently critical the aituation of Bolivar had become. A defeat would have bee:!. nearly irretrictrable ruin. " Qucnoa, four leagues North of Guemanga, Dec. 11, 1824. " I have written you long letters from Challunca. Namara, Cusenchegues, Andegueylas, and Uripa. If those letters reach you, you will be in possession of most of the particulars of the movements of our army, up to the end of last month ; and of the error we committed after the affair of Junin, by not rapidly fol lowing up the eartny, and destroying Cantarac's force, b. fore aide: could hese joined him from Potosi. You will also learn of our retrograde movement from Lombrama to Uri pa. and of the roufu 'ion. and sudden change of the prospect of our hopes, which the ofninsive operation rid the Royalists created amongst us by the ad. ranee on Oumnanga. As soon as tile Viceroy ascertained that we had not co:.acitenced a Santa Cruz rarest, and knew our position, fearing that we might direct our course to Cusco, he counter marched from the vicinity of Onatitangs towards Andegueylaa, and both armies met at the bridge of Begucos, as I stated in my last. La Sernh thought to entrap us in the valley of Pornocochas ; tor which purpose he moved a few leagues to his right, that we migltt descend the quelorada, where he intended to attack us, but luckily he could not etlect his purpose. •• We arrived at 'Malan (six leagues from Uripa) before the enemy, and uiffarcd hint battle on equal terms • but La Serna tentaisted plaV rho sore gains: sad, convin ced he could destrpy us without risking a general action. declined attacking us, and continued his advance, out-tlanking our right, or rather left, when retreating. " %Ye pursued our retrograde movement on the 31; and on that very evening wert attacked, 'under very disadvantageous cir cumstances, whilst deihni down a . luebrada, two Jiggles .0 the northward of %data. "We lost, in this afriir, the general depot, ou- field-pieces, nearly all the baggage of the artily, and about five hundred killed, wounded, and missing ; whilst the ca.:mains of the !loyalists did not exceed thirty. "This blow naturally create:( a damp: upon the spirits of our troops, and what still increased our uneasiness, was certain infor mation received, that La Serna did not bring with him less than 10,000 effective troops. We continued to fall balk on this plain, the enemy always on our left flank, and taking daily many primners, and much baggage. Battle was again offered hint in Caugillo, but he a second time declined it. Our situation became more desperate every day ; the Peruvians had begun to desert ; and our cavalry tired and disgusted at being obliged on walk en f'ot, having lost their horses. The mules, de marcha, bad all been lust, or taken by the enemy, and not a horse-shoe or nail were to be had for love or money. Our army being arrived at this olaee, the enemy placed himself in Guannieguilla. two lc-agues to the northward, and thus completely cut off our further retreat, even were we in a state to continue it. The aspect of our atiiiira became gloomy is the ex treme. We could not have existed six dugs in this position, for want of provisions; and either to have moved on the enemy, or to have countermarched towards Andaguaylas or Guaniaru it, would have been certain perdition. The enemy were confident of our destruction. lie bad sent strong detachments towards Marco. 3lavoe, and other directions, to cut and destroy the bridges and roads to prevent the escape of a single individual. Toe Indians of Huanta, Huancabilica, Chum-hems, and neighbouring towns, had all risen agalnet es, and daily accounts being received of their hay ing assassinated our stragglers and small detachments, sometimes it was impossible to procure a guide. The anorak of our troops, also, began most perceptibly to relax, and many deserted to the enemy; disagreeable nee s wu received from the coast, as well as that 1,500 Royalists wc:e on their march from Cusco to reinforce La Serna. In fact. every thing indicated our ruin ; neither was it likely that generalship would save us. " Under these critical eireemstantes, the Royalists, flushed with ' their superiority, attacked us, certain of success. Our position was a plain of about two miles circumference, and in our rear a gradual descent to a vast quebradd. La Emma and Cantata; with two divisions, advanced i n our front, descending the hill, whilst Valdez, with two squadrons and four battalions, attacked our left. The !loyalists were attacked on all sides, nearly at the same mo ment, in the most gallant manner, and greatest possilde order, and after one hour and twenty minutes hard, very hard, lighting, were completely routed—the Nriceroy wounded and taken prisoner. Can terse, Valdez, Carratala, Monet, Ferrer, and four or five more Generals, with other officers and about 5 or 600 men who were united after the action, with some difficulty capitulated, giving us possession of Peru, from Tani ay to Desaguadero. Tat pieces of artillery were taken front the enemy during the action. We had but one miserabla four-pounder to return their fire. Our :ill behaved nobly—tkat of Celoiske atimmesti 11214 m immitaka our . clitui%tis — tir infantry on the tight, and that of tea i c taged, and routed two battalions of 'Valdez' van, which had tA reached the plain on which we bad father!, and actually began to Mr. k our right. All and every one behaved well. Gen. Cordoba, a youth of 25, with his division, stood the brunt, and indeed, it may be said, decided the action. Ile was most justly made a Ge. neral of Division on the field of battle. I charged at the helm of the hussars of Junin, and reputed Valdez, who at first had driven back our infantry. The hussars advanced in the moat gallant man. nee, and their good conduct has drawn forth unlimited praise from the General-in.Chier, and the whole army. . " The enemy brought into the field 4 ,200 Infantry, and 1.300 cavalry. whilst our disposable force only amounted to 6,627, in cluding 1.000 cavalry. Since leaving Andegueylaa, our effective force has decreased 1,200 men. The Royalist army was composed of excellent men, well clothed and well equipped ; their "weak, far from being bad, was the reverse, and General Valdez has as sured me there were only 81)11 recruits. The battle, fought near Quenon, is called Azscucho (reacou de lot metrics), because that is the name of the pampa where it took place, and is not more than a quarter of a mile from the village. Without doubt, it is the most glorious, the most important, and the most military, ac tion, ever fought in South Atnarits. Had the Spaniards gained it. the struggle in Peru for independence must have been protracted for years and years to come; and even Chile and Colombia would have trembled for their safety. La Setna, Camerae, and Valdez, deserve great credit for having brought their troops to such a de gree of perfection. Their cavalry, in equipment and discipline, is, perhaps, little inferior to the British, and that is saying all that is possible can be said in their favour. The Viceroy, Valdez, Camerae, Monet, Garcia, Comba, and several others, have inquired eery kindly after you. I pay them, of course, every attention in my power, and they appear highly grateful. They are anxious to return to Europe. Olaneta ivies himself Grettat en Jefe del Exerclio Real ea Peru. lie may nave from three to four thou sand men. Unless we take active measures against him at once, he may yet cause much trouble ; probably upwards of 1000 of Can tarac's dispersos may unite with him, if they be not pursued. LOSS of the SPRINGGROVE,SOUTO SEA rJJALER. The Springgrove, with a crew of twenty.tbsee men, sailed from Portsmouth forthe South Seas on the Sth of November last. Soon after her departure she met with heavy and adverse storms. so that before they had reached the latitude of 30 degrees north, they were driven so tar eastward as to be in sight of the African colts:. For three days and nights they attempted to beat off that inhospitable shore; but on the night of the 23d November, the exhausted crew, finding all exertion to save the vess .1 fruitless, were driven ashore about sixty miles north of Cape Cautin, in the latitude of 31 north. The surf being tremendous, three of the crew were drowned in at tempting to reash the shore; the ship went to pieces in four hours. The southern Barbary coast, upon whi:h they were cast, though within the dominions of Morocco, is frequently visited by bandsof wandeting predatory Arabs. The crew eared front the wreck, amounting, with the Captain's wife, Mrs. Hughes., to twenty-one persons, kept together the that night unmolested by any visitors ; but early in the morning of the 2e di a considerable body of Arabs surrounded them, endeavouring by force to carry them orl: The crew however had armed themselves with pieces of the wreck, and their assailants not being provided with fire -amt, they contrived to keep , them at bay, so that these unfortunate people were without farther molestation that day. During the succeeding night the Arabs came down in increased numbers, armed with muskets, and in such force as to render all resistance vain on the part of the crew. The latter were imme diately stripped of nearly all their clothes, and led assay, mostly on the backs of camels; scorched by a burning sun in the day, and chilled at night. without clothes and without shelter. In this deplorable state they were reduced to mean servitude ; and for the slighteit appearance of murmur or discontent they were beaten and bastinailued most unmercifully. These sufferings continued five weeks. In the mean time Mr. ‘l'illshire, the Britis4 Consul. at Alugatiore, to his honour be it spoken, had heard of the ship. wreck and captivity of the crew, had represented the circumstances to the Emperor of Morocco, and with lath:able promptitude and humanitv, demanded his assistance in the liberation of the cap. tires. In justice to the Emperor, it is right to state, that no time was lust on his part in furthering tnis benevolent object. p ory of Morocco soldiers was instantly despatched, with two °dicers, to that part of the country where they were chained, mid they were thence conducted to Mogatlore. line of the men died of the hardships he had undergo r, and it is inconceivable that many others did not perish. Tnrough the exertions of the Consul, the men were sent to (Ain altar, and same have returned to Eng land. A circumstance is stated by one of these men, which Is as fol. lows :--lle sayA, that the Arab Chief into whose hands they fell could speak a little English; and contrived to inform them, that some years ago nn llnglish ship was last on the Affirm coast; that the crew reached the shore to the number of three hundred men, well armed ; that his own tribe, consisting of flee hundred men, attacked them, and were repulsed ; that he solicited the as sistance of a neighliouting tribe to renew the atniel:, with an ad ditional force of four or live hundred men ; that the British those them backs second time, and were making gaad al , eir retreat for some settlement of security, when they were a turd time surs rounded by a boar of thirteen hundred ; that the British fought till three.fourths of their number fell, and the remainder were mu to pieces after laying down their arms, std after killing two hundred and fifty. Arabs. The name of this ship is unkndr, us wall as the time of the shipwreck. • • ' LIVERPOOL, WEDNKSDAT EViNIN4I. •tT• Wind I.W. to N.N.W.—Highwater, fio min. p. 7.
