to the promising aspect of the affairs of the Patriots. It is only a few days since the -Elate Paris Paper boasted of the oc cupation of Lima by the Spaniards ; but the French must now be convinced that their allies in the New World have been grasping at a shadow, and losing the substance. The interior of Peru was the only quarter in which the power of Spain retained a footing; and from that it i; now likely to be speedily dislodged. It is tin. derstood that the Patriots look with anxiety to this country for a supply of mone y' which we trust will not be withheld from them. At present, they are Ilia even possessed of suf ficient means for working the mines. " LIMA, AUG. 22.--" In the beginning of the present year, the Spaniards, elated by the partial successes which they had obtained between Chili and Peru resolved on endeavouring to ,re-possess themselves of Lima. Great preparations were made for the execution of this project, by the Spaniards ; and the Puravians, on their part, were not idle in taking measures to frustrate the expectations of the enemy. 'rhey resolved, however, not to dispute the possession of Lima, and on the contrary shipped 6,000 Patriots to operate in the countries which the Spanish Generals Camerae (a French man by birth), and Baldez, had left unprotected by marching against Lima. Boliiar, in the meantime, had eonie forward w i t h auxiliaries from Colombia, aided' by a body oftroops furnished by Chili for the defence of the common cause. By the time the Spaniards reached Lima, in the latter end of June, a second expedition of 000 Patriots bad been • prepared, and actually embarked and set sail in presence of the b 1 1 ; 5Q411 army, which, foiled in its great object of bringing the fro a pendent f orces to decisive action, obtained no other result b u n ' a long and harrassing march of several mont o f hs th , than the ten reputation of taking unresisted e city of "ma/ which had been intentionally . evacuated for that very Purpose. Th e P at ri ot arm, after having been landed from their ships, marched in t wo divisions upon Cuzco and Potosi, under their Generals Sucre and Miller. They wore in daily expecta tion a reinforcement of :3,000 men from Chili. The In ,:ependent General Gamana is investing Arequips. Can , immediately on his arrival at Lima, perceived the error . w} : 0 1 1 1 he had committed in leaving . Cuzco, Arequipa, the le of Upper Peru, as far as Potosi, and all the towns of culated lot,ncompleteliopen to that army which he bad cal. beating at Lima, and which had, by a master. i nameuvre, at not only f ru strated his design, but turned : ta gainst himself.

We copy the following , from the Glasgow Laurier, received this morning:— ARRIVAL FROM LIMA IN 103 DAYS.

THE TIIPUTRI;. Daulty-LANE.—As we have already noticed the representation of the Musical Drama entitled Rob Roy at this Theatre, we have only to add, that .it was on Saturday night enlivened by the return of Miss STEPHENS in the part of Diana Vernon. She was greeted with the warmest applause by a numerous audience, and she fully requited their kindness by the delicacy and feeling with which she acted the part, and the sweetness, taste, and science with which she warbled all her songs. Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, dated the 14th of November, 1823 :—Since I last wrote to you, all the unfortunate members of the Spanish Cortes, and other fugitives from Spain, have been ordered out of the garrison in the most arbitrary and cruel manner, and they are most of them gone to seek an asylum on the more hospitable shores of Barbary. The conduct of the British Government here has made every one ashamed of the name of Englishmen : it can certainly never be approved at home. A subscription is now going about for these poor distressed exiles, to which, I believe, every one contributes his mite except Lord Chatham, General Don, and a few persons under their immediate influence." On Saturday, at a quarter before one o'clock, the KING. left his Palace in Pa for Brighton. The Duke of YORK arrived in town at an early hour yesterday morning from Claremont. The Marquis of IlEturroan is confined with the measles, at his house in Seymour -place. Sir CHARLES HAMILTON, the Commander-in- Chief and Governor of Newfoundland, is arrived in town, and transacted business at Earl Bathurst's office on Saturday. The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived in town on Wednesday evening, from Gorhambury, Herts, the seat of the Earl and Countess of VeRULAM. The Prince de LIPPE and Sir Vicron YON, ARIL:ITU:BILDT are at present detained, by con-. trary winds, at Falmouth. They proceed, as soon as it is fair, in the ilitadborough packet to Lisbon. In consequence of the attention paid by the French Physicians, the Greek Bishop attempted to be assassinated is declared out of danger, and as his wounds are expected to be healed, he will be enabled to assume his Ecclesiastical duties, which is most devoutly wished by the numerous Greeks at Paris, as he is their only Priest in that city. _ _ A French frigate arrived at Teneritre on the 4th ult., from Cadiz, with a new Governor.— The Bonn.

Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Lima, dated August 19 :—" A report reached this place on the ltith Ms.., that the schooner Perseverance was boarded at Truxillo, and carried off by the crew of a Peruvian man of 'war. Agreeably to a recent resolution of the sub scribers to Lloyd's, the rooms of that establish ment will not in future be opened on Christmas Days and Good Fridays ; and we shell have much pleasure in learning that nil public places throughout the kingdom follow the example. The Dublin Evening Mail of 'Wednesday last announces, in a conspicuous part of its columns, the death of Sir Ilervar TORRENS, K. C. 8., A& jutant-General.

The receipts of Drury-lane and Covent-garden Theatres, on the nights his MAJESTY honoured them with his presence, amounted to near 20001. Drury-lane received near 900/, and Covent garden 9411. Miss STerwews has visited the principal towns in Scotland and the South of England, and invariably has. attracted overflowing audiences ; she has likewise formed the principal attraction at the four great Musk Meetings of Gloucester, York, Liverpool, and Birmingham ; and last week we see that she closed her brilliant tour, by giving Coneerts at the two Universities, where the attendance WAS unprece dentedly numerous, and the audiences expressed their delight by the most enthusiastic demonstrations. A golden harvest must have rewarded such extraordinary exertions, and we congra. tulate the London Public upon having this distinguished and fascinating Singer once more amongst them. As the London Mail, on its way to Ireland, was leaving Os westry on .WednesdaY evening, an event took place which mighthave led to fatal consequences. Mr. Parry, a gentleman well known in the whip circle; demanded to drive the horses, which John Evans, the coachman, very properly refused. Mr. Parry then sprung upon the box threw the coachman among the horses. The guard then levelled his blunderbuss at Mr. Parry, but instantly recognising him, refrained from dis Char ging it. The coachman having resumed his seat, the snail, after a short delay, then proceeded on. The guard has reported the gentleman to the General Post-office.—WlireiesLury Paper.) The remains of Lady SoPIIIA PIERREPONT, sister to the Marquis of EXETER, who died at Bourdeaux, lay in .state at the Three Crowns Inn, in this town, on Wednesday evening, (V inst.) ; on the following day they were to be in, terred in the family vault at Ilolmepierrepont.

Among the company were the Earl end Countess Liverpool, the Count and Countess Lieven, the Duchess of Kent, the Prince of Leinengen, and Princess Feu. dor, the latter of whom had been staying at Claremont for about two months pait, during which time his Royal Highness's mansion has been filled with a constant succession of parties; much so, that some of the establishment have been obliged to give up rooms to the visitors, although the mansion has been considerably enlarged. It has undergone a thorough repair, I owing to its having been discovered to have the dry rot, and other very great delapidations, which have cost the Prince up. wards of 15,000!. The Duke of York was to have spent the whole day with the Prince at Claremont, to have enjoyed the sport of shooting, but was prevented by the rain.

TALIAW OPERAS. —The representation of the Italian Operas out of London, a feature peculiar to the liberal anti enlightened direction of our Theatre, and while we ofnr, in common with a delighted auditory, our expressions of gratitude for the splendid treat thus afforded, we cannot but couple it with our surprise and admiration of the rood ( ei s n ti w ng uhleilethc4l as it has been prepared and presented. The talents dl they have been by the most refined audiences in Europe,) of Signor and 3ladatne Rorizi Dn Maras, have, in the proof, exceeded report.

DE Musts, of whom we Must speak, not only as principal actor, but as having entirely produced fortis this elegantinnusement, by his most active and very liberal exertions as Director,—the care, industry and skill in their separate departments, which must stamp indelibly upon Sir (3EO, SMALL T and Mr. LODE it,themost gratifying martinis cen ce.We vannotsuflicien tly expatiate upon themeans w Welt gave such admirable force and accuracy to concerted musis, chorusses, &c. executed by English performers in tios s i n i' s I ta li an O peras .

The coup (I'ol of the Theatre, the elegant aspect of the pa r te r re, (Vi vant pit; fillf t l as it has been with all the fashion and beauty of Hath, has been worthy of the occasion; and we confidently an. ticipate the brightest result to the spirited and excellent ma. nagement.--4 Bath Herald, Dee, 6.)
