THE Undersigned CHARGE d'AF FAIRES from the United Provinces of RIO DE LA PLATA, is under the painful necessity of communi cating to the HOLDERS of BONDS of the LOAN con tracted by his Government, that, owing to the well known pressure of circumstances on the Provinces of La Plata, and the consequent derangement of the state of the Exchange with Europe, it has not been found possible to make pro vision for the payment of the Interest falling due this Month. The scrupulous attention hitherto paid to the maintenance of the public credit by the Government of the undersigned, will, it is hoped, be a sufficient assurance to the public, that every exertion will be made for reassuming the payments, the very first moment, when the immediate pressure of the present existing impediments shall have ceased.

On the night of the 26th ult., a quiet inoffen sive young Man, named Fegan, a . Protestant, haci. berlin in company with some Roman Catholics in a public-house near Bolleisle, in this county, when a dispute having arisen, and threatening language having been made use of to Fegan, he conceived it right to stop until they should de part, lest they would follow and beat him ; ac cordingly he waited until, it was thought they had time to reach their several homes, and he then proceeded homewards, accompanied by some others, who considered it not right to let him go alone. When they had gone. some distance from the public-house, they perceived three or four men before them on the road, who imme diately turned off it, and entered a house which Fegan and his friends had necessarily to pass, on approaching which a shot was fired, and the ball entered Fegan's body a few inches below the left breast, and passed out at the right side of the back bone, of which wound he died a short time after. An inquest was held on the body by Mr. William Trotter, Coroner, assisted by Major Irvine, and the Rev. James Auchen leek, and was examined by Surgeon Quinton, when a verdi c t o f " w ilf u l m ur d er " was re turned against Mi c h ae l M'M anus , B arte l y M'Caffery, John Keenan, Cormick M'Manus, and Philip 2 , l'Man us, and that Michael M'Manus was the person who fired the shot, the others being accessarics. John Keenan, Cormick M'Manus, and Michael M'Manus, were taken and committed on the Coroner's warrant. Mr. Ormsby, Chief Constable, and a party of the police, attended the inquest, and made every possible exertion to arrest the persons charged. This barbarous murder was perpetrated near. In nishmore, where the unfortunate William M'Creery became a victim to the inhuman fe rocity of a Popish mob, whose uncultivated pas sions, when excited and let loose, know no bounds ; on that occasion, when the perpetrators came to. be tried, they had, at their command the funds of the Catholic Association. No wonder, then, from their outrages being encouraged by the Association, and their understandings being kept in a state of darkness by the Priests, that the lower order of Roman Catholics think so little of taking away the life of a fellow -creature, but particularly that of a heretic, which they con ceive is doing God a service. OTTER HUNT.—At Letheriugharn, on Tues day last, after seven hours' amusement, an otter of immense size and unusual length, was caught and killed in the old river Deben. Its weight is 2st. I lb., and the length, from the nose to the tip of the tail, four feet two inches, and round the body one foot seven inches, round the neck one foot two inches; the pads or feet three incises across. It was twice caught in a fine net, and several times in a cast net, and only two dogs engaged in the hunt, one a bull ter rier, and the other a water spaniel. It was altogether most excellent sport to the party present. THE LATE MURDER IN MONTAGUE PLACE. —We ascertained last night' that a person was ap prehended on Saturday night, in consequence of informa tion received in the course of the day by the officers em ployed to trace the murderers of Mrs. JEFF, and brought before Mr. PIALLS yesterday morning, who, however, dis charged him shortly after, there being no evidence to au thorise his detention. In consequence of what has already passed, and his being liberated from custody, we forbear to allude to this individual any further, or give any of the circumstances connected with his apprehension which have come to our knowledge. It is, however, confidently ex pected that before to-morrow (this day) passes over, some certain clue will be obtained to discover the guilty party. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Saturday even ing an accident of a most dreadful nature occurred at No. 37, York-street, Battersea-fields. A laundress, named SARAH WILLIAMS, was sitting up for her son, who was • out late ; she had had her supper with her husband, who had gone to bed, and was waiting in anxious expectation for her son, when it is supoosed she fell asleep dosing over the fire. The husband was shortly aroused by the most dreadful shrieks, and jumping from his bed, he rushed into the room from whence he heard the cries, when he discovered his wife enveloped in a flame of fire. He in stantly gave an alarm, and in the greatest distraction of mind, endeavoured to quench the flames; but the devour ing element baffled every effort. The cries and shrieks of the poor woman were of the most dreadful description, and her clothes were burnt to tinder; she was burnt in so shocking a manner, that she was immediately wrapped in blankets, and, en a chaise-cart being procured, conveyed to the Westminster Hospital, in the most excruciating tor ments. Yesterday the poor woman remained in the same state, and was visited by several of her children, whom she was just sensible enough to recognise, but her head and features are swelled to such an immense degree, that scarcely any resemblance can be seen of her former self. One of the most extraordinary youths that ever figured in the annals of the Hue and Cry, or the Old Bailey, sailed about four months ago with a batch of other hopeless criminals for Botany Bay. His name is STErriEN STOKES, and he was only 13 years of age when he was transported. The following list of his adventures in iniquity was taken from his own mouth in Newgate after his destination was resolved upon. lie had been a thief for the last six years, having been regularly in structed and encouraged in robbing every body that came in his way. He had been in custody half a dozen times— once privately whipped—and three times tried at the Old Bailey.—The first robbery he was concerned in, was the robbery of a till at a chandler's shop, at the corner of Brick-lane, Shoreditch. He was the right size for tills, as he could hide himself under one, and he found it easy enough to " work 'em." He, however, had but little property out of that concern. The first heavy rob bery in which he was engaged was that of fifty-two sovereigns, in No. 3, in a court adjoining the church, in Clemenes-lane, Lombard-street. The next was the robbery of 22 sovereigns, at the ham-warehouse in the same lane. The third was, he said, the robbery of 18 coats and three gold watches at Mr. Orgill's, in Abchurcl , lane. The fourth was at a woollen-warehouse in 13uckli" - s bury, where he st o l e 4/. 10 s ., f our watc h es and dues handkerchiefs. The fifth was at a h ouse a t th e coin er of ',Wks's-lane, Upper Thames-street, where he an'l corn panions stole a trunk filled with wearing.apta rd • The sixth was upon a countryman whom the conci nt S aw slip.. ping 300/. into his boots for security, and „eyer part e d un til he got hold of all the money. lie 0150 acknowledged, amongst other robberies, having stole , ' a gold watch f r o m a jeweller's shop ; a coat and two go ld seals at SAUN DEusoN's, in the Old Jewry ; seven ht hand nets ihats ornhillout of the first coffee house on the rig from the Mansion-house. “Fie did not," h e sa id , " care a n C --about the name." NATH AN was, he declared, gene rally his fence, and gen erally gave him a goo d pr i ce . H e kept a girl since he was but 12 y ears ol d , an d h e ca ll e d her his " old woniiin." Ten of his companions have been transported. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 8, 1828. ANECDOTES OF BUONAPARTE. The following anecdotes of this extraordinary man were related to a gentleman, some twelve or thirteen years since, by a French officer of the name of Follope, who asserted that he had been an eye-witness of some of them. Dates, times, and places, which were stated at the same time, have been forgotten by the gentleman to whom they were mentioned:— It was customary with Buonaparte, when thinking intensely of any project in contempla tion, to take snuff with a degree of immoderate and inconsiderate rapidity, which he usually did from a box carried in his waistcoat pocket. On one occasion just before a great battle, when deeply immersed in thought, and standing in a room alone before a fire plying his box as usual, he suddenly went out to make some inquiries, leaving his ; box on the chimney-piece. Return ing a few minutes afterwards, he resumed his box, but on putting in his fingers to take a pinch, he fancied the snuff felt somewhat different. He looked at it, but could perceive no. dif ference in its colour or appearance. There was apparently the same quantity ; the box was found in the same place ; he had been absent but a very short time, and there. was no one in the room when he went out, nor when he returned. A dog coming in at th e door at the m omen t, h e called him, and gave him a pinch. Violent 'convulsions immediately ensued, and the animal died almost directly after wards. Hereupon Bonaparte rang the bell, and inquired if any one had been seen entering or leaving the room ; but not being able to ascer tain that any person had, he simply ordered the dog to be taken out and buried, wisely thinking that the eve of a battle was not the most proper time to have it circulated that his life had been attempted. However, he took care afterwards to make his waistcoat-pocket his snuff-box. Many silly attempts have been made to impugn the personal courage and military qualifications of Bonaparte, by certain weak individuals, who ob stinately exclude with the term enemy the pos session of every good or commendable quality ; no matter of what kind soever it may be. Not satisfied with depriving the greatest captain, per haps, that ever lived, of a quality they would concede to the meanest soldier, they have even accused him of timidity and cowardice. The following anecdote does not certainly affbrd any proof of that heedless daring which is more allied to military insanity than true soldierly courage, but it is one among thousands of instances in the same character, of that coolness and contempt of sur rounding dangers,which are never found unconnec ted with the highest orders of military braxery and enterprise. In the midst of a dreadful can nonading, Buonaparte stood leaning, nearly ex hausted with several days' hard fatigue, against the carriage-wheel of a cannon, and was in the act of taking a pinch of his favourite stimulant, from the box of an officer, when a cannon-shot came and killed the latter on the spot. Without moving a limb or a muscle of his countenance, except in pity to his fallen friend, Buonaparte turns to another and asked if he had a box ; " for," said he, " our poor friend I suppose has taken his with him." Buonaparte, it is well known, was an excellent horseman, and affected to imitate Alexander the Great in his horsemanship and courage in bestriding whatever was brought him. On a particular occasion a fine high-spirited horse, richly caparisoned, was brought to him, said to be a present from a certain prince. Buonaparte, after admiring the beauty, &c., of the animal, was just on the point of mounting him, w h en , contrary to his invari a ble custom, he ordered a menial to mount and try him. He did, but before he had gone far a violent explosion took place in the saddle, and either killed or much maimed the hapless domestic. WASHINGTON.—" He was," he says, " a man of tall stature, with a calm and cold rather than noble air : the likeness is well preserved in the engravings of him. I delivered my letter in silence : he opened it, and turned to the signature, which he read aloud, with excla mation, Colonel ARMAND !' for thus he called, and thus the letter was signed by, the Marquis de la ROUAIRIE. We sit down; I explained to him as well as I could the motive of my voyage. He answered me in French or English monosyllables, and listened to me with a sort of astonishment. I perceived it, and said .with some empha sis, ' But it is less difficult to discover the north-west pas sag than to create a n a tio n as y ou h ave done." Well, well, ' young man !' cried he, giving me his hand. He in vited me to dine with him the following day, and we parted. I was exact to the appointment. The conversation turned almost entirely on the French revolution. The General shewed us a key of the Bastile: those keys of the Bastile were but silly playthings, which,were about that time dis tributed over the two worlds. Had WasitlNGTox seen, likj me, the conquerors of the Bastile in the kennels of Paris, be would have had less faith in his relic. The gravity and the energy of the revolution were not in those san guinary orgies. At the time of the revocation of the edict of Nantes, in 1685, the same populace of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine demolished the Protestant Church at Clia renton with as much zeal as it despoiled the Church of St. Denis in 1793. I left my host at ten in the evening, and never saw him again : he set out for the country the fol. lowing day, and I continued my journey."-- Chateau briand's Travels. CAPTAIN RocK IN ROSCOMMON.—We are much concerned to find that it falls to our lot to announce the arrival of " Captain ROCK" and his party in the neighbourhood of Keadue—a place which for some time past, we considered unusually quiet. It appears that on the night of Sunday last the house in which Mr. M'SnANE, agent to the Irish Mining Company, resides at Tinlough harbour, on th e banks of Lough Allen, in this county, was surrounded by a party of armed men, consisting of upwards of 20 fellows, who, after breaking into the house, seized M‘SHANE, and commenced beating him in a most brutal manner. After inflicting most severe chastisement upon him, and while lying on the ground, one of the party struck him a severe blow on the head with an i ron instrument, which had nearly deprived him of life, and which, in all probability, would have been effected, were it not for the timely interference of their leader, who, perceiving the man, ordered his party to depart, and when just leaving the house, informed the inmates that the cause of their visit was owing to the liberties which M'SHANE had tak;:n in of Father MAGLIRE. A female speaking disrespectfully servant at this time was about making her escape out of the windows, but being perceived, was d ea l : e d not to at tempt leaving th e pl ac e until the party would march off the ground. Captain Roca then enteved the house a se cond time and cautioned ill'Swt: and his family to keep a " quiet tongue," else he and his party would be under the necessity of paying a second and a more serious visit: he then walked in front of the place, ordered his men to fall in, which, we have heard, they did in the most perfect good order, and having put them through several military evolutions, fired a few shots and decamped.

MELANCHOLY DEATH.—A few days ago, at Seafield, near Easkey, Wm. WlNara, Esq. sincerely re gretted. The circumstances which caused the death of this gentleman were extremely singular. In administering a ball to a glandered horse, he took the infection through - a slight scratch on his finger ; in a short time he became affected in both his arms, from whence it communicated to the whole system, and at length terminated fatally. He has left an interesting widow and a young family to lament his loss.— Waterford Mirror. On Wednesday evening last, as a girl, the servant of Mr. JAMES, of Webton, in this county, was re turning to her master's h ouse f rom H ere f or d, s h e was at tacked by several men, who took from her sundry articles of grocery; and having beaten, and dragged her about the road so as to endanger her life, left her to her fate. The little money she had in her possession, was found concealed in her bosom ; but the poor girl is in a precarious state ; and we are not aware that any steps have been taken for the apprehension of the robbers.—Hereford Independent. STAMPED RECEIPTS.—Certain petty dealers, within fifty miles of Edinburgh, finding their affairs getting embarrassed, owing to the pressure of the times, resolved to pay their debts by composition. Creditors are some times very difficult to massage on such occasions ; and as the law of Scotland gives, perhaps, rather too much lati tude for creditors to oppress debtors, the latter frequently find it no easy matter to get compositions accepted. The two dealers alluded to knew this, and, though very honest men, for aught we know to the contrary, knew further, that honesty and misfortune are but weak arguments to op. , pose to the wrath of vindictive and disappointed creditors. To avoid the impending calamities, they fell upon the fol lowing expedient :—Having arranged, in their Owlll minds what composition they thought it would be convenient for them to pay, they trudged off in company to meet their creditors. Having been a considerable time in business, and having at many times paid sums of money, for which they had received unstamped acknowledgments in the usual way, they carried these illegal documents along with them. Having communicated the disagree able news, and sustained, as is usual and natural on such occasions, a violent burst of abuse, the question, " what do you propose to pay?" was started. Upon naming the composition, it was declared to be too small. The debtors now thought it time to unmask their battery. Holding out the unstamped receipts in one hand, and the composi tion contract in the other, they thus addressed the asto nished and irritated creditors, " We have dealt long with you, and given you in our time a great deal of money. Here are the receipts which you have given us as vouchers. They ought to have been stamped, but they are all upon plain paper. Upon our word, as honest men, we have in no shape defrauded our creditors, and the composition is as much as we can possibly pay. If you believe us, and ac cept of it, we may yet have it in our power, by subsequent dealings, to make up your loss. If you refuse it, and abandon us, we will denounce you, as evaders of a reve nue statute." This argument was sufficiently dishonour able, and very clumsily put into execution. It of coerse excited rage and contempt. The composition was rejected, and the receipts, it is rumoured, were actually lodged with the Solicitor of Stamps. The consequence, it is supposed, will be, that the moiety of the penalties which those per sons are entitled to will be sufficient to pay their debts, or purchase a settlement. —Edinburgh Observer. THE WOOLLEN TRADE.—The buoyancy of this great staple manufacture, and its tendency to right it self after the most severe storms of commercial adversity, have been strikingly demonstrated during the year that has just terminated. After the shock of 1826, and even during the latter part of that year, it began to revive, and we doubt whether in any former year there were ever more woollens made, and smaller stocks accumulated, than in the year 1827. At present this branch of trade, as well as the worsted stuff business, is proceeding steadily, though not with any great briskness, and the work-people are, in general, well employed, at rather low wages to be sure, but (from the moderate rate of provisions) with as many comforts as they are accustomed to enjoy, and quite as few privations as the severe season of winter generally brings in its train. Long wool' are in considerable demand, and the prices are remunerating; there has, however, been a declension in price of from 5 to 10 per cent. in the course of the year; at present rather better prices are obtained than were given three months ago, and the new year opens with cheering prospects, both at Halifax and Bradford.— Owing to the great stock of fine clothing English wool, and the competition of foreign wools, there has been a depression since the year 1825 of at least 40s. a pack, with little prospect of amendment, hence the subject of a new duty on the importation of foreign wools is spoken of by the agriculturists; and Sir T. D. Ac , LAND is expected to bring the measure under con sideration in the next session of Parliament, but the enlarged views of his Majesty's prosent Ministers, com bined with those exertions which the 'manufacturing interest owes to itself, will, We trust, avert this cala mity. The lower qualities of English clothing wools have not fallen to the same extent as the fine English, though, for the last three or four months, the demand has been very circumscribed, owing principally to no army or East India contract having been given out within that period. We have reason to believe that there is at present a large Ordnance Ceotract preparing, which will create considerable demand for the fabrics in which this kind of wool is principally consumed. The blanket and carpet trades do not at present call for any great consumption of wool in this neighbourhood, and the Scotch are becoming our rivals in this latter branch of business. The flannel trade is good, and the stocks low, but the fleece wools have come so much in competition with the skin wools that the raw material has kept lowering in the face of a brisk market. Bockings and baizes are still manufactured freely, though the demand for the South American market, owing to the unhappy differences in that region, has suffered great interruption. An idea prevails amonst the wool growers, that war will advance the price of wool. A war of com mercial interdicts would, doubtless, have this effect; but a war with Turkey, we apprehend, will have no influence wbaterer on the wool market. The best security this country has for a good steady trade is in low prices, and while wools are cheap, and the manufactured articles sold at a reasonable rate, both at home and abroad, we have little to fear. The withdrawal of the small notes will not, we appreh en d, muc h affect the present price, e i t h er o f the waw material or the manufactured article, because there is little speculation, the stocks are low, and the demand in g eneral is real. Foreign wools, we mean the German and gpanish, are in great demand, but the former have fallen 20, and the latter 30 per cent. since 1825. In 1827 there ; was some fluctuation in these wools in London, but very little in the Leeds market. On the whole, the prospects ; for trade are generally considered favourable, and it will afford us sincere gratification to find those prospects realiz ed by a year of prosperity...-Leas Mercury.

The folloWioeailinheseika4fis delivered by Mr. O'Connellgnithit - sluVct, at the Sepa s rate Meeting on Wednesday ee-- Mr. O ' CONNELL 'said, three persons had spoken against his resolution, .and not one of them had advanced a reason against it. Mr. Browne he had listened to with all that attention and respect to which that gentleman was entitled. He had given.them his authority as opposed to the mission ; but to Mr. Browne 's authority, he opposed that of Mr. E. Macdonnell—a gen tleman who had formerly been opposed to a mission, but who now declared himself of a con trary opinion. To him also he opposed the authority of Lord Killeen, who, notwithstand ing all the special pleading used concerning his letter, would be found to have given his opinion, cautiously he would admit, and as one not wish ing to impose his high station. upon them ; • but who, notwithstanding the caution of his opinion, would hot act the less firmly. TO the authority of Mr. Browne, be opposed that of - Mr. Mon tesquieu Bellew, who was now in England, and who in the letter enclosing Rent, urged them most strongly upon the mission. To the autho rity of Mr. Browne, he might Venture to oppose his own, as one who had laboured not less long and strenuously in the Catholic cause. He never was more convinced of the utility of a mea sure tha n he was of this, and he took shame to himself that he did not bring it . forward at the aggregate meeting e but he was anxious at the tune to join his family, from Whom he had been separated for twOlhouths. To the authority of Mr. Browne he would also oppose that of Mr. Sheil, and he did not know a man who should be possessed of higher authority in Catholic affairs than Mr. Sheil. Mr. Coppinger had a po s ek ma e l t l al sp s e o c i i i m ie of mi; his b u t a u i f t ho Nv ri h i t at e s and h , eiia ge had pocketed then were like the specimen he had shown, never in leis life had he given a greater proof of his pru dence, than in keeping the remainder to himself'. Mr. Coppinger had commenced his " rational reasons in the Socratic manner, by asking him, if he thought the London Press would report fairly ? To this be answered, he was SUM the, London reporters would report honestly, and th e proprietors would give their speeches fairly, be cause it was their interest to do so: Even the Courier had given a most accurate report of what he said; so had the paper which was said to be a personal enemy to him. Mr. Coppinger had alluded, in a very indistinct manner, to the misrepresentation of some public meeting. He presumed he had alluded to the meeting in Cork ; but if his friend had not taken full and ample vengence, he (Mr. Connell) was no judge of the' length of the letter.. He now recollected, that Mr. Coppinger himself had been accused of what they could not accuse him, that Mr. Coppinger was in want of a wife.—(Laughter.) Mr. COPPINGER assured the meeting that he had no personal feeling on the subject. (Laugh ter.) There was not a word about him in the two original letters, and what he wrote was in vindication of his friend, ' Mr. O'Connell.— (Hear and applause.) Mr. O'CONNELL said, that he felt bound to state, in justice to his friend, that if he wanted a wife, he did not know a lady in Ireland that would not be happy to have him.—(Laughter.) Mr. Lawless told them, he should bottle up all his resolutions for a future occasion—that he should keep them'for the Fourteen Days' Meet ing, when he should have all "good 'and true" men to hear him. This was a bad compliment to the present meeting. Was there not as honest and as independent men there as could be found in any meeting ? But if Mr. Lawless had come, forward with his reasons, he should have opposed him himself, and urged the same arguments which that gentleman had formerly used for pressing their question before the House of Commons— the benefits of discussion. They could say foe themselves what Protestants could not—when they avowed their -principles they could not be contradicted, as' he had seen their advocates in the House of Commons contradicted by Sir Thomas Lethbridge. He had himself stated. the effect of one of his own speeches ; it was boasting to be sure, but he stated that four young gentlemen who had been in a pleading office, and who,. before they heard that speech, were decided enemies to Emancipa tion, returned from the meeting itsdecided friends. He had also stated there was an Irish Student in the Mr. same Butleriaaltteitlib o eti ffi iiiißla c at e rcalill a inel l aeyNN e riseN_ara l e dist ril ist)he y sleifenn t ri o cleearil E ildlsci l :e l a l la a sillete l l l umdd C d i y : ut a ntip t lot i ao o taiE n lllt . luinhjda: ionil A sde: Eman cipation, t t i s o it' who had been its adversaries, had through his (Mr. O'Connell's) means become its friend.— The speech lie had made at Birmingham had traversed the entire of England.. He would have the opportunity of shewing that the treatment of Ireland was injurious to England—that it was expensive to her, and that it -cost' three millions more than the Revenue of Ireland produced, to have this country badly -governed.
