QUISII.IIOEUE FALSUM ACIDE.ir • LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 19, 1824. We have received New York Papers the '2sth ult. containing advices from the capital of Mexico to the 16th of June. This intelligence, we regret to say, does not confirm the alleged succes s of General BItAVO 1111 the expedition 'llicit he undertook for bringing back Guada laxara to unqualified submission to the General .. Congre ss . On. ' th e contrary, at the date of the latest intelligence - from General Ilizivo, viz. the 6th f o " title, when his head-quarters were at La 13arca, the Authorities of Jalisco were making active preparailons for repelling his armed visit to Guadulaxara by force. It is too probable, therefore, that Mexico, independent of the corn motions that may have been excited by the 'tur bid' --Is ts) has been. plunged into a civil war. Under th ese difficult circumstances, however, the Gene rat G overnment and the Congress are represented 411 proceeding calmly in the exercise of their functions.

Yesterday, the natal day of the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, the British flag was displayed on the venerable tower of the Parish Church, and the bells were rung merrily during' the greater part of the morning. Soon after noon his Royal High ness crossed from the Palace to the Royal York Hotel, on a visit to the Count and Countess Lieven ; and subsequently be was on horseback, attended by Lord Alvanley.

There were three coaches and four, with numerous outriders. The appearance 'of this rich cavalcade on the road will till the hearts of the innkeepers with delight.

Taylor. MR. KALKBItENNER.—We are happy to learn that the public will have the high gratification of hearing the performance of Mr. Kalkbrenner. The professors and con noisseurs who he.ve heard him, and who are enthusiastic in their admiration, are busily emplOyed in the arrangement of a Con cert. The juvenile students will derive great advantages (and we unhesitatingly say considerable improvement) from hearing the piano-forte touched by so great a performer as Mr. Kalk. brenner, and we strongly recommend to those parents who are anxious for the cultivation of that branch of musical education. not to neglect such an opportunity (which, we regret to say, can only occur once, in consequence of this Gentleman's ar rangements in the sister Kingdom.) The day on which the public will be furnished with so exquisite a treat, will, therefore, no doubt, be inimediately fixed.—( Dublin Star, Aug. 16.) Letters were received yesterday from Buenos Ayres, dated the 6th of June, but no event - of political importance had occurred there up to that date. The latest accounts received at Buenos Ayres from Peru, stated that Lirna was. still in the possession of the Royalists. Unfortunately, however, the date of the advices from Peru is not mentioned, but they could not be very recent, as the communications appear to have been inter rupted. by the position of the corps of Spanish Royalists in Upper Peru. The accounts from Chile to Buenos Ayres reach only to the 24th of April, and also furnish no events of importance. The,letters are filled with speculations respecting the probable issue of the contest in Peru, which are quite undeserving attention. Extract of a letter from Santiago, de Chili, dated April 12, 1824 :—" The , occupation of Lima and of the castle of Callao by the Spaniards will soon bring the fate of Peru to a decision. It is strongly suspected that. the. Spaniards are inclined to declare the independence of that country, as all their Ofircers are staunch Consti tutioualists ; but of course, after so long a civil warfare, both parties are afraid to trust each other. The Spaniards, by a wise and liberal policy, have gained much ground in Peru ; and al though every hope and expectation may he placed in the talents and activity of BomvAn, yet I think he would be very glad to conclude the war in any way by-which he saved his repu tation, so that he might return to his own coun try." Yesterday morning some gentlemen connected with the Board of Works waited on the Corn raissioners of the Insolvent Debtors' Court 'at Guildhall, Westminster, to exhibit a model of the internal fittings designed for the new court lately erected in Lincoln's-Inn-fields. The gentlemen of the bar were requisted to be pre sent at the inspection, in order to point out any alteration which might be deemed ne,cessary,— The new Court will be opened after the ap proaching recess. POETRY. TRUTH AND YOUNG ROMANCE. ' Young Romance through roses straying, Saw old Truth trudge lamely on ; • One in pleasure's light. was playing, The othersiglied for pleasures gone; Cries Romance, " 0 rest a minate,' And discuss our-views of Earth :: •• Your's may has'e most prudence in -it, But in mine is all the mirth ?'•' 6 Ah says Truth, this world discloses Nought but vain delusive wiles ; Thorns are under all your roses, sadnessefollows all your smiles !' —Cries Romance, Perhaps I often - Colour life with tints too warm; • Yet my, warmth a shade may soften, While your coldness chills a charm.' What is Love the sage then asks him, Love in summer hours so sweet ? Wintry weather soon unmasks him, - And your idol proves a cheat !" .' Love !' the youth replies, 0 sever • Real Love from rain deceits; Constant Love brin gs hours that never ' Lose their sunshine or their sweets !' '' Friendship too, you call a treasure !' But,' says Truth, it is a tie, Loosely worn 'mid scenes of pleasure, And when fortune frowns—thrown by.' 'Friendship,' he replies, possesses Worth which no dark change destroys, Seeking, soothing our distresses, Sharing, doubling all our joys.' Go,' says Truth, "tis plain we never Can such hostile.thoughts combine; Folly is your guide for ev e r, lithile dull sense must still be mine Cries the Boy—' Frown on, no matter, Mortals love my merry glance; E'en in Truth's own path they scatter • noses snatched from young Romance.' DUEL Put EvENTED.‘---On Tuesday evening; be' tween five and six o'clock, as one of the local constables be longing to Turnham-green district was wing on duty, he ob serVed two private carriages and a hackney post-chaise draw up on the road within half a mile of the above place,'from which ' there descended a party of gentlemen, five or six in number, who instantly struck oil' the road towards a small enclosure on the left. From the appearance of things, the constable judged that they were actuated by no good intentions, and therefore made directly for •the - house of Mr. Farresh, one of the county Magistrates, which was close at hand. Mr. Farresh having heard enough to satisfy him that there was mischief brewing, ordered his horse, and gallopped to the spot, closely followed by the constable , send his man-servant. At the extreme end of time field; and entirely concealed from public observation by an intervening shrubbery; the persons described were assembled, consisting of seven persons ; two of whom were principals, two seconds, two respective friends, and a surgeon. The prelimi. naries were adjusted, and the pistols were being delivered, • when Mr. Farresh leaped the little fence, and in the King's name charged them on their peril to desist from hostilities ; this interruption was, it would seetn, not only Unexpected, but unwelcome to the combatants, one of whom - Impatiently called for his pistol, and said, that no person should interfere in his quarrel with impunity. Mr. Farresh, with much urbanity, but with equal firmness, declared'that - could not be •; he came there as a Magistrate; 'whose duty it was to put a stop to all proceedings whereby the lives and safety of his Majesty's sub jects were endangered. This reply, however, did not seem to abate the gentleman's irritation, and Walking - to his friend; -he said, 4 ' Tor God's sake,. come away,. and we can decide this business elsewhere ;" then turning to Mr. Farresh, he said, " Sir, we are met' here as gentle Men, to decide a private quarrel, and though you may. prevent our fighting m this country, you cannot in another , : it is, therefore, useless to interfere. To this observation the Magistrate made, no reply, except by gently dispdssessing the seconds of their firearms, and informing the acting parties that they might consider themselves under an arrest, begged the. favour of their company at his own house,.where they, would get every possible satisfaction as to his right of interferente. 'I he party then quitted - the ground, accompanied by the Magistrate, his servant, and the constable. On reaching the house, Mr.. Far resh kindly entreated theM to take refreshment. This was, however, politely declined Vail; and the principals and seconds -being bound ov:r in heavy recognizonees. to keep -the peace, they were antlered to depart for London at eight o'clock. The principals in this atiiiir were Colonel de D., foniterly of the Honourable East India Company's service,''and H. H., Esq.— The former was attended by Captain D., of the Royal Waggon Train ; the latter by Coronet 0., half pry of the late ILlth Light Dragoons. • FL:MALE SwiNni.nit.—About len days ncro, a lady of most respectable appearance hired a house, No.. 33, Northumberland-street; Mary-la-bone, stating herself' to be the wife of an officer,. and was accompanied by a groolii; and a female attendant, as part of her suite •. until the reMainder of her servants arrived. Th e landlady thinking she had nu excellent lodger, requested a gentleman who had some apart ments, to leave, as it would' be injuri o us t o h er il'he should remain, as it would hinder her letting the house.. The gentle man complied, and Mrs. S. Williams wok possession. On occupying her new mansion, she commenced by being very liberal in her orders to her t ra d esmen, an d feelilt "'ertinzird," requested to know what public libraries were near. The land lady pointed out Mr. Titchborne, who supplied every new work ; but as the tongue of Slande r spreads itself wide, it . soon reached the cars of Mr. Titchborne,. from - whom she contrived to get goods to the amount of 10/.; from Mrs. Gibbs, haber dasher, of High-street, 131.; .31r. Judos publican,. Notti ng . ham Anus, Nottingham-street, 71. for wine ; and a numerous set of tradesmen, of all descriptions, to a considerable amount, in the small term of nine days. Finding herself hard presse4 by Titchborne, she made her escape on Sunday . inorning at an early hour, leaving the celebrated words (written in French) used by Bonaparte at Waterloo, " Salim qui peat" The lady speaks very good Welch, and is . about twenty-six years of age. The following is related as one of the many extraordinary exploits of PAUL HAVER % a cele. brated brigand chief, who after a long career of plunder, was, with seven of his followers, broken on the wheel at Dreux, in Lower Normandy, about the •year 1785. Having fallen in with a countrywoman going to market, and who wept bitterly by the way, Haver supposed that she la mented the loss of her husband. This she assured him was not the case,' 'but that her grief arose from a collector having made a seisure of her goods to the amount of two louis ; on which account she was taking to market her cow nod the calf, which was only two days old. He ask ed the value of her cow and calf. The cow she estimated at three louis, but as to the calf she could not determine. The Brigand wits so moved by her distress, that he felt him self'inclined to do a generous act, and said to her, " Here, I make you a present of four louis ; take home your cow, bring up your children with care; and pray for me, the wickedest of all mcn." The woman, as was to be expected, declared that on the contrary he was the best man in the world, and that she would never forget him in her prayers. She deter mined, however, to take her cow to the market, and in coming back Paul !liver robbed her, both of the money for which. she had sold it, and that which he had given her. MANsioN-House.—This day the case of Rob/. Wightman, charged with embezzling a letter in the duties of his employment as Stamper at the Post Office, after a discussion between the Loan MAYOR. and Solicitors, was further postponed till this day week. Mr. JEFFERIE3, who was attacked and robbed by the side of the New River on Tuesday even ing, was last night agreeably surprised by re ceiving a letter,informing him that his watch had been pledged in Old-street-road, in the morning, by a woman. Mr. J: of course lot no time in going forward and redeeming it. We regret to say, that Mrs. Jefferies was seriously indisposed from the alarming behaviour of the robbers. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GREENWICH REGATTA. • On Tuesday, being the anniversary of the birth-day of the Duchess of KENT, a new wherry, built expressly for the occa sion, and sundry Dther prizes, were given by theinhabitants of Greenwich, to be rowed for by six free young watermen of that town, in five heats; to start from a boat moored off the westren extremity of the town, to another, moored off the' Grampus, Sea man's Hospital ship, the distance being about 2 miles and a half The first heat was rowed by T. Watkins, T. Bass, and S. Weeks, and . won by the former; the second, by J. Parcenson, C. Ander. son; and J. Smith, and won by And erson , a f ter a hard strugle. The two succeeding heats, which were for the minor prizes, in money, caused considerable interest, from the prowess and spirit displayed by.the young ,watermen to gain both money and fame. The itistoind grand heat, for the Wherry, betweenAVat kins and Anderson, (the two best men in the first and second heats), was one of the finest contested matches, both In 141011 and manceuvring, science, and strength, witnessed for many years. Anderson; at starting, shot a-head, but was soon over taken by Watkins, who kept the lead, and won the wherry by about a boat's length. Amongst the visitors assembled on the occasion, were all the first families of distinction residing on Blackheath, Woolwich, and its vicinity,- attracted equally by the fineness cf the weather, as in compliment to the Royal per sonage whose birth -clay was there, for the first time r thus cole 'biated. 110Xr:VG. Jqsn. HUDSON' AND CANNWL—The backers of these men met on Tuesday night at Cribb's house in Panton-street, when a new match vies made between them for 5001. a-side.

Caniberwell.green is completely covered by shows and verniers of goods, and the roads leading to it were crowded with elegantly dressed females, who were highly amused by the itinerant musicians, that had taken their stations by the road side. An immense concourse of people were. present at the opening of the fair. In• the evening the weather became very inauspicious. The .whole' economy of stalls and booths.was decomposed by a heavy squall between five and six o'clock, which occasioned much distress. The drapery upon some of the shows was blown to ribbons, and the areana of the travelling Magi exposed to public view gratis.' Amidst the fragile shops and warehouses for toys, ribbons, gar, tars, bijouterie, &c. there was a general scene of devastation. The hurricane unroofed the.depots, and the peltinrain fell' merciless upon every thing that ought to have been Kept dry. The unfortunate venders of toYs, in short, were all in a violent fit of hydrophobia. The damage done is considerable.

GRAIIAAL`' Tawe'roN, A tiO. ICS.—This morning nil Tutin ton was in commotion, and the reason for so unusual an event was, that Mr. Graham, so well known by his late visits to the aerial regions, hail announced .his intention of ascend ing this day from Taunton. At an early hour every avenue to the town was crowded with vehicles of various•descrip dons, ,from the lordly four-in-hand to the humble, donkey cart, together with no inconsiderable number of pedestrians and equestrians, from most of the towns and villages within twenty miles of the place, which were liberally emptied of their inhabitants. The place from which the ascent was to be made, was a field belonging to Kihgliike, Esq. who kindly volun teered the mite of it to the intrepid aeronaut. Thi inflation com menced at 11 o'clock ; and by two the surrounding houses• and fields were thronged with anxious spectators.. All the rank and fashion of the vicinity were there. The weather, which liad been all the morning lowering cleared up at length with unusual bril- Haney, but the spectators were doomed to disappointment. It was Mr. G.'s intention to have ascended by means of the gas works, but as Taunton is lighted with oil gas, the 'specific gravity was found to be too great for the purpose; and he was therefore com pelled to have recourse to common hydrogen, and a bulky ap paratus was erected for supylying the balloon. Hour slier hosts passed away, and the inflation proceeded but Slowly, and it he came at last a question whether it would. be suffidiently. tilled -to. allow of the ascent before thick.
