- GENERAL MACGREGOR. (rtonz tlte ilritis4 Monitor of,,rsterday.) orr: ISPATCH ES from GENERAL MACGREGOR. In Tie British Monitor of July II th, I inserted some anecdotes respecting MacGaunon, relating to his intrigues at Washington, and his conduct at Porto Eel°. The article was copied into an Irish Newspaper, and from that it Vr39 inserted last Wednesday into all tare London Newspapers.—l this day- p went to the Reader an extract of let ters sent by Genersl MAcGnecoa to his friends in Loudon ; and I give it just as I received it, with out flPy comment. " Major BEzANT, of the Corps of Artillery of General MAcGaßog, arrived in town on Thursday wi!li letters from the Commander-in-Chief, .dated St. Andre, 2Stit May, in which it is stated that General MAcGr;roort took wiih him from St. Ar.;lre, (the dop6t) to Porto Bello, two complete troops of the " Lauceros de Maceroni," all vete ran soidi , 2rs from the 9th, 12th, and IGth lii Irish Lancers, perfectly well armed and equipped, and mounted at Porto Bello. The General conceiv- Sing it to lie impossible for him to be attacked front any other quarter than from the high road of Panama, scat his out-posts and picquets in that direction, under the command of Major BALnwiN, of the Lancers. This officer and his men were cut off from the town and made pri soners, at about three miles distance from Porto Bello. The enemy came down to that town un percived through the woods, which flank it closely on each side.. The two companies of lancers would have been sufficient to overthrow the Spaniards that surprised the town, hatl they had an opportunity of charging on the large wide square and in the streets. A considerable quail titv of specie was found at Porto Bello. Five thousand doubloons in gold were discovered in the cemetery a few days previous to the re-capture. MACGREGOR owes the preserva tion of his life to the bravery and presence of mind of one of his Aides-de-Camp, Cor• net CoLot.ouon, of Belfast. This young man slept in the next room to MacGancort, and upon hearing the rush of men ascending the stairs, -Seized a brace of pistols and his sabre, and met the assailants at the stair-head, just before the floor of MACGKEGOR'S room With the two pis toli he had the good luck to kill a Spanish Co lond and a Captain, and he thrust his sabre through the body of a third. All these three rolling down stairs impeded the advance of the rest. MACGREGOR in the mean time leaped out at the window. Cor.cLouGn received a bail through the left hand ; had time to follow MAC GREGOR, and got safe on board the sloop of war. It was Cornet SRAIPLE, of the Lancers, who vo lunteered to swim off to MacGaßoaa's ship, from the fort, with the message from Colonel RAFTER. Ile roost nobly swam hack with the answer, and, after all, returned to the ship, and is now safe end well at St. Andre. Major . 1-3EzANT left Porto Bello on the day preceding the re-capture, in charge of a quantity of artillery and stores for the fortifications that are erecting at St. An dre. MAcGrtccoa bad about sixteen hundred men when Major BEZANT left him. The Prince and the Henry, with 270 men eacii., front Ireland ; the Tarantula, from London, with veteran cavalry and horse artillery ; a large ship of 650 tons, with 430 men, from Ireland; the Samuel, from London, entirely laden with arms and ammunition ; and another vessel from Dublin, with '250 men, and the Lively Ann, from London, with 48 veteran Officers, and 110 picked soldiers, are all expected with impatience at St. Andre; besides 1000 men from New York, and about 700 from Jamaica, When the whole is collected, it will be a considerable force ; and, in the course of a month, the army will land,at Santa re di Bogota, which is a short distance front Carthagena, the capital of New Granada. A curious case of fraud has occurred Lately in the city, which has been much talked of in the commercial circles, and may probably hereafter furnish an intricate subject of legal investigation. The confidential clerk of a merchant, who was en'rusted with nearly the sole management of his concerns, had repeatedly laid before him letters from correspondents in the Country, announcing the intention of drawing for certain bills ; the bills were afterwards produced in due course, and accepted by the merchant ; the clerk discounted them, and applied the money to his own use.— Several of these bills were presented for payment, and duly honoured, before the diScovery was )srade th.tt the hills and the letters were all forge ries. The question discussed is, whether the merchant is bound to pay the remaining bills, which, though forgeries in the drawing, were all regularly accepted by himself. The payment, we understand, is likely to be resisted, and the matter Will probably be retcrred to our Courts of Law. The extent of the fraud is little short of MOM: (Suliday Paper.)

FRCAI 'CUE MORNING PAPER OF THIS IM*. [Morning CAronicle.] Lord COCIIRANH sent his boats to cut ont two vessels in the outer harbour of Lima, on the 20th of Ftbruary, in ‘vhich he succeeded ; ''they. are valuable merchant vessels. He also cut ' tat . a gun-boar, loaded with artillery and stores, but could not attempt any thing against the frigates, as they were inside of the harbour, and protected by very strong forts. The people there are so dissatisfied with their Government, that they came off to him by hundreds, till he was obliged, for want of room, not to receive any more. General San Martin is marching with his army to attacii the said place by land, which, the Buenos Ayres Gazette says, will submit on his approaaiug I'ItOCLA ATION BT LORD COCHRANE, TICF-ADMIRAL OF CHILI, ADMIRAL AND COMMANDEK•I\-CIIIEF OF TIIE Sidll'S ANL) VEISELs of TILL STATES. tieing, authorised and commanded h) the Suliretue Govern ment of Chili strictly to blockade the Ports, Bays, Harbours, and the whole coast of the Kingdom of Peru, I hereby declare as follows, viz.:— Ist.

(Mornin g Post.] At a late hour last night a Mail from Flanders reached our Office. It furnishes some interesting communications relative to the proceedings which it has been found necessary to .adopt in regard to the very suspicious, not to say alarmingly seditious conduct of the Students, and even of some Pro fessors of the several German Universities. From Berlin it is stated, that very early on the morning of the 7(h inst. all the papers of several Students in the University were sealed up, and afterwards delivered to the Magistrates ;. and that all the papers of a Doctor have had the same fate. This measure hid caused great sensation, awl the utmost anxiety was manifested with regard to the result. At Fribourg, on the same day, two Members of the Association of Ger man Students were suddenly wrested at their lodgings, and conveyed to the Prison of the Uni versity, after some papers had been seized. At the same time, the Police seized the papers of somo other Students belonging to the same Asso ciation, as well as those of a Woman. The latter is a prisoner in her own abode. The Students are at liberty. Dork Pfister, Director of the town of Heidelberg, who arrived there at break of day, as Grand Ducal Commissioner, had ordered these measures. This affair makes a great noise.- 7 - It is affirmed, that it was called for by .a Foreign Court, and that a special Committee 113 d been formed for the purpose at Carlsruhe, at which a Foreign Minister and the celebrat ed Professor Arensat Giessen ,were present. — It seems that similar proceedings have been insti tuted at Heidelberg and other Universities, to in quire into the association of the German Students. " Baussur.s. JULY 22.—The Sittings of the Wirtemberg Diet were opened at Louisburg') on the 13th, by Royal Commission. M.

Mr. Henry Hunt has addressed a letter to the. Lord Mayor—(see our 414 Page),—written in a style the most flippant and contemptible. its ob ject is to throw ridicule upon the important com munication made by his Lordship to the Common Council relative to the designs of the Radical Re formers on Wednesday last, but the attempt is too puerile and wretched to merit serious attention. With equal contempt must be treated the auda cious insiouation that the infamous placard posted in the vicinity of Smithfield was the production of some friend of Government or of the Lord Mayor. Such attempts and insinuations, it must however be admitted, are every way worthy of the heroes of Smithfield and of Spa-fields.—(Thid.)'

We received yesterday and this morning'the Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday last. The King presided at a Council of Alinisters on Wed nesdoy. The statement in the Journals of Wed nesday, of the arrival at Paris of the Duke de Iticitausu, is contradicted in those of Thursday, which mention, however, that he was every day expected there. The Constitulionnel of Thursday contains a long article respecting the approaching Elections for the return of Dep►tties in the room of the third Series who go out by rotation. Ac cording to this Journal the Ministers will, im a great measure, fail in obtaining the return of per sons devoted to their support, and tire choice of the Electors will chiefly fall upon Liberaux, or rather Ultra-Liberaux. A curious anecdote is given in one of the Papers, and which is stated to have been published in se veral of the German Journals. It is said that a Bavarian Minister of State, in the course of con versation at his own table, remarked very - freely upon the spirit of independence assumed by the Bavarian Chamber of Deputies, and observed, that the Great Powers, and particularly the Em peror of RUSSIA, would not see without disquie tude this democratic tendency, and that the latter Sovereign, if the Bavarian Government did not keep the Chamber in order, would be forced to interfere, and to have recourse to serious measures in order to oppose the spirit of demo cracy. These remarks having reached the ears of the Russian Ambassador, at Munich, lie proceed ed to the residence of the Minister to demand an explanation; the latter admitted that he had made the observations alluded to, and stated, that such was his private opinion. The Ambassador ex pressed surprise, and added, that his Imperial MAJESTY Would not learn with indifference such an assertion of his private sentiments, by a States man of the importance of his Excellency, an as sertion in direct opposition to the solemn and re iterated declarations of his Imperial MA/ESTY, that he did not wish•in any manner to interfere in the internal affairs of Germany ; and such sentiments being of a description to . excite disquietude, not only amongst the brave Bavarians, but still more throughout Germany ; he felt it absolutely neces sary to render an account of what had passed to his Court, and I to cease to have any official rela tions with his Excellency until he received further orders from his Sovereign. In the Rhenish Provinces of Prussia the con scription is stated to be so rigorously enforced, that it is impossible to procure a substitute. The droits reunis, an oppressive impost, is also said to be established there, in a manner infinitely more severe than in France. Several of the Governments of Germany have, according to report, received information of a Political Association of a dangerous tendency amongst the German Students, which has affilia• dons in most of the Universities. Several of the Students at lleildelberg, Friberg, Giesen, Berlin, and other Universities have boon in consequence arrested, and their papers seized. At Berlin also, the papers of one of the Doctors have been seized. Tine whole affair, however, is at present involved in great mystery, and no details are allowed to be made public. The affair of Baden is said to have been adinst ed at Frankfort by the Ministers of tire four Al lied powers to whom it was referred. According ,- to toe arrangement thns made, the integrity of the Grand Duchy of Baden is guaranteed, and the right of succession of the Counts HOCHBERG, HOW Margraves of BADE N, formally recognized. The Grand Duke of BADEN is to cede sonic small por tiuus of territory to Bavaria, and the pretensions of Cie ate power to the Palatinate, Anti of : I t'" tria to the lirisgaw, are declared to be invalid' The projet of a COnstitution for Prussia ;t1 stated to have been laid helot e the King, "'I I° bBl ordered it to be referred to a Committee. Ao article from Lisbon mentions the r eceipt °• intelligence from Rio de Janeiro, stating the bar tistn of the infant Princess, daughter of the Pr'Os and Princess Royal of PORTUGAL and the 8 34 ' mt.', who is to take the title of Princess of 13 81 !" and who received at the font the following long list of names—Maria da Gloria Joanna Carlotta Leopeldina Isidora da Cru~ Francisca Xavier de Paula Michaela Gabriella Rai:hada Louisa Ge l ''' . raga. To prevent mistakes, it may be n eeeast ir i to add, that these are riot the names of differcot persons, but that all of then: are monopolized by the Princess of Beira.

If there could be any doubt of the diaboli cal intentions of the Smithfield Reformers, as stated 111 the LORD MAYOR on Friday last in the Court Common Council, we have only to refer to the account .from the Macclesfield Paper, which have inserted this day, to skew of what materisils these infamous wretches are composed. ° lir Readers will see that the Police Officer w' s ,hot by the Stockport Reformers, not while they might be supposed to be irritated O his arrival at that place with their Politi cal Apostle in custody, but in cold blood se"' ral hours after, as he was peaceably returning t° his own house.—Can there be a doubt, th en ' that others oh the gang who attended t ill' Smithfield Meeting, would be ready to inYn l/6 London in flames, and murder its peaceable i ll ; habitants I No, such miscreants are capable 11, any atrocity, and we trust, that Government vvl not relax in its attention to the proceed in g s these wretches, or hesitate to bring them to 1 4 51 and exemplary punishment.
