LITERARY NOTICES. VAILITADAS 0 IIZSOAGENO DZ LOXDAZII. We have now before us the third number of a Awl.* Magazine, in the Spanish' language, hear* the above title, and we have many upolo. to offer for having so long delayed our notice. 'lt is brought forward in the same elegant styli for which all the works of the publisher (Alfr. ACKEIIMAKN) are so deservedly celebrated.

It was, we believe, i . literided principally . for *volution hi Spain and , U Sinigiih America, but' ' . from the number of SpAniards whom late events have driven to this country, it is likely that its circu lation will be pro. portionably extensive here. The subjects of the literary part of the work are well selected, and Itogether it forms an elegant.and tasteful addition to the table of the scholar. The affairs of Spain at this moment excite general, we might almost say universal, attention, and are likely for a long tnneto attract the notice of mankind. The Spanish language seems at present to be cultivated in all quarters, and as it is the language of so extensive a region as South America, any Works written in that language cannot but be highly in teresting wherever it.prevails. We really know not any Work of the nature of that before us, which is equally well calculated to arouse and in .form the Reader, as welt as to promotekic know ' ledge of the Spanish language, and therefore con fidently recommend it to the European .Public, not only for the Intelligence which it affords, but for the merit of the Prints by which It is embel lished.

( From Mr. THOMAS LITTLE'S forthcoming 'work on the Beauty of the S'exes. ) GIMIERT BECKET, the father of the ambitious egotist,, THOMAS A likeauT, was a soldier in the Crusades, and, being made prisoner, became slave to a Saracen Prince, whose daughter fell in love.with him.

The crowd attracted the notice of the inmates of his house, and she was recognized by a servant who had accompanied his master to Palestine. Gilbert took her with joy to his arms, and to the bridal bed ; and, ,from a romantic Pagan, sprang a Popish Archbishop! .ROBI3EItY of CAMBERWELL. CIJURCI V1.110_7441 A LL.—Two men, nnmedJohn Got Qog and James APDamsel, were brought before L. IL ALLEN and W. Somme, Esqrs. charged with having committed `felony and sacrilege. .Mr. %V. Ileyward, clerk of the parish of St. Giles, Camber. well, dieted, that about eight o'clock in the morning of the 24th of June, on entering the Church, he observed the door of the rohing-room wide open, which was usually kept locked, and he missed the crown and mitre from the Beadle's staves, which appeared to have been broken off r, he then discovered that u valuable Brussels carpet was taken front the pavement in the chancel t there were several drawers open In the tlifrarent pews, oat of which Bibles and Prayer-books had been taken t fact, the interior of the Church was in the utmost disorder, the cushiona in many of the pews bay ing been ripped open, and the feathers strewed about in all dircctions.

The sconces belonging to i the pulpit, and the Venethin blind of the window where the robbers entered, were taken away; as also a bottle of wine, which was in the Vestry. Daniel Lambert, the grave-diggsr, stated, that on the morn ing the robbery was committed, about nine o'clock, he was in the Church-yard. and observed perxons looking at the broken peite of the window, and he found, on the ground under the window, a black jacket, in the pqcket of which was a red • woru'ed comfortable for the neck. lie had seen the prisoner Gosling frequently in the Churchlard, with a jacket similar us the one now produced ; and the witness thought, on picking it up, that it belonged to the prisoner. %Vitness saw him in the afternoon preceding the robbery. alone. in the Church-yard. Witnees added, that he had seen the prisoner with something red about his neck. John Mills, a constable, stated, that he had Gosling in cur e tody about a fortnight before the robbery of Camberwell Church, on suspicion of breaking into Mr. Glazier's premises at Oeckhem.

The hole in the shoe was, as near as may be, the same distance from the shoe prints as the window from William f A eceey, a pawnbroker, stated that on Thursday t h e 4th of June, between nine and ten o'clock in the forenoon, the prisoner John Al' Donald brought sp carpet (now produced), and wentedtwo guineas upon it.

(From the Journal des Debate.) PARIS, JULY 20.—The Infant Don Miguel lately went to the Swiu►►ning School, under the direction of M. Kuntxn►unu, which is situated be hind the Magdeleine. lie visited every part of this establishment, remarkable on many ac counts, and gave to the old officer who presides over it a mai k of his satisfaction, by inviting him to his house. Ills Royal Highness goes every day to the illanege to take the exercise of riding, in which he appears to delight, and in which he excels. _ The Funds continue low. There is not money enough for the numerous transactions which are going on. This want of money begins to be felt every where, particularly at London, where an other fall is expected in the funds. Everywhere operations have been forced, and everywhere means are not equal to the enterprises. 'What a mischievous misconception was the unfortunate project for a reduction of the rentes, which has thrown all matters out of their equilibrum. When every thing is strained, every thing is vulnerable. Such is the present situation of the Bourse. Some reports concerning Lisbon are in circu lation, which need confirmation. The Queen having given a grand ball to celebrate St. John's Day (the King's fete), which, under other circum stances, would not have been subject to any mis interpretations, appeared, it is said, to the Mi nisters and the King an ill-timed joke, as the Queen had pretended illness to avoid quitting Lisbon. Nothing is known with certainty on this subject, but it is not very probable that the King would banish three hundred • perbons for having attended a dance at the Queen's—Such a measure would not be in conformity to that spirit of moderation and indulgence which the Portuguese Government has justly declared, " to be the only mean, of restorin g tranquillity to the country," in the Circular sent to the Portu guese Ministers and Consuls, which contained the communicution of the Itoyal Decree for web- limiting the former Cortes. They write from Lisbon, under date June 23, " It is with regret that we have just seen the Santi Petri go away, which had been brought by suchlonoorable tnotives into this harbour. This magnificent ship, on board of which every body was so well received, and the order on board of which was much admired, sailed yesterday for Cadiz. Before she left, Vice-Admiral Baron des Rotours invited the French Ambassador, the Pope's Nuncio, and the most distinguished per sons of the Court of Portugal, to a grand feast. lie has received many testimonies of the esteem and good-will of his Majesty, who has conferred on him the Grand Cross of the Order of the Tower end the Sword." lltaut.tri, 10.—Our Journals contain the following intormation t—The Prussian Army reckons 10,0ti3 officers, among whom - there are 667 staff officers, who are Nobles, autl 73 of other classes, 1,007 captains, Nobles, and 071 not.

Haller is appointed Publicist in the office of Minister of Fore ga Af fairs, in place of M. Itazenstiel. It is suppose d he is the same M► Haller who belonged, in the same cnpnclty, to the Drapeau Blanc, where his signature appeared to articles written in a jargon half French and half Swiss. There is at present the fossil skeleton of a ini• man being (Jossile humain) exhibiting nt rnrimi and two literary characters are employed in drawing up an account of this astonishing Petri. faction. In the Chamber of Deputies, on the 19th, the discussion was continued on the Budget. The vote for, 10,000,000. as the interest of the capital deposited as security by the Receivers-Getteral, gave rise to some warm speeches, but the vote, as recommended by the Minister, was,carried.— Several other items were also agreed to. (From Nhe Efelle, dated Wednesday, July 21.—Exprezo MA nut n, 3 ut.v 13.—The absurd fables spread by the English Papers, particularly by The Courier, as authentic news from South America, make it our duty to publish a statement of facts from the accounts of eye-wittiesses, who are en titled to full credit. " After losing Culiao rout Una, Bolivar had precipitately fallen back on Truxillo, at the distance of above 100 leagues from the capital ; not seeing the Royal army appear, he flattered himself that he should be able to surprise it; in consequence he marched to meet it with 7000 men, end took lip a position at Guantimachtico and Conchuco. Not yet meeting wi th a ny Spanish troops, he advanced towards tisquil, but there he met the vanguard of Canterac. That intrepid - Oeneral gave orders to attack without losing a moment. Bolivar in vain attempted to resist; in a few moments he was driven from his strongest positions with the loss of 4000 men. Reduced to less than half his number, he hastened to repass the river Santa on the coast, about 30 leagues from Truxillo. Being then convinced that the loss of the battle drew with it that of the campaign, Bolivar prepared entirely to evacuate Peru, and to retire into the territory of Colombia. To leave no doubt of this truth, the Official Gazelle publishes the bulletins of an anterior date. We find in them the detail of the various actions, which prepared the defeat and flight of Bolivar, before he received the last blow at the battle of Usquit. The Insurgent General Santa Cruz occupied the province of La Paz with 5000 men, when La Soma, the Viceroy, marched against him, killed 3000 of his troops at Oruro, tank all his artil lery, his military chest, and his baggage, and drove him towards &pita, and persued Min so. vigoroogly in the direction of Moqueltua, that he obliged him to fly to the transports which he had left on the coast ; but before he could reach the sea, the remains of his division were overtaken by Don Joseph Carra lola, Brigadier of the King's armies, and Completely annihilated. At tads Lime that is to say in the mouth of October, the Viceroy was at Chacuto ) and MajorZen.Valdez at Puno. After the bulletin of the military operations, the official dispatches from Peru give documents which were published at Lima by the Revolu tionists, while that capital had the misfortune to be in their possession. The most remarkable is a decree of the soi-dis ant Constituent Congress of Peru : " Considering," it says, " the great dangers to which the Republic is exposed, in consequence of the aggression of the Spaniards, the Congress invests the Presidents Simon Bolivar, under the name of Liberator, with the supreme military authority ; and besides, with the directorial (query dictatorial ?) political authority. For this purpose, the Grand Mard ia l, Tagle, to whom t'se national representation had previously confided the executive power, shall concert with the Liberator." _ The said Liberator presented himself to the Congress to return thanks for so flattering a I)e• cree, and said to the President, " I have only my heart to offer you." " And 1," replied the President, "have only three words to say to you —Country, country, country !" This President Figuerola now accompanies Bolivar in his flight. The dispatches from New Spain are no less favourable. I t II affirmed in authentic letters from Ojajnen and Tenantepec that Leon, who commands in all that part, has not allowed the Mexican troops under Itincon to enter his territory. Blood was near being shed, but conditions were at last agreed upon. • I lie province of Ojajaca has been acknow ledged independent of the Republican Govern• ment of Mexico. Since that time the inhabitants openly declare their wishes for the triumph of the Royal came. The Members of the present Executive Power, viz. Coitia, Ituribenia, Guer gee, and Silva, may even be considered as de. voted to this noble cause. The last accounts from Brazil represent all the provinces of that vast country as a prey to the most dreadful anarchy. _ Ithdrid Gaze - ties conclude this view o the situation of the New World by this phrase : ---" Let Europe open its eyes to prevent in time what might result from the revolutionary drama which is now acting in America, unless the authors and the actors were told in a tone calcu lated to Inspire awe, it is time to put an end to so many extravagancies." .

Grant, &c. ; it ivas a most imposing display of mili tary tactic. After the inspection of the Regiment, they advanced in squadrons, and thus passcd before Lord Combermere.— They also-passed his Lordship - in single tiles, and, re-forming, passed in a canter, three deep, to a brisk air of their excellent band. A most scientific display of the lance exercise was next given, to the great satisfaction of the numerous specta tors. The Regiment was ordered to fro through the itu proved sword exercise, which they accomplished with the like precision. Resuming their lances, they marched in open column and quick time. The next following manceuvre was truly beautiful, and described the advance of a body of Cavalry, having preViously • thrown fotward videttes, and a skirmishing picqutte. These gave place to the advance of the main body, which was ef fected in the most soldier-like manner, she entire Regiment wheeling round with - singular regularity. The next evolution was a charge with couched lances, followed by a skirmish, anti the re-formation of the squadrons. A grand charge ensued. This was particularly well executed ; the waving of the flags, the strict progress of the compact column, the rapidity, solidity, and precision of their movements, having been amazingly illustrative of the high state of improvement procured by the Able and scientific directions of the illustrious Commander of the Forces. The movements in echelon were particularly worthy of eulogy; nothing, could possibly exceed the steadiness of the men, or the cool and unembarrassed directions of their Commanders. The notional air of God save the King" ter. minated this gratifying review.—The 9th were formerly called " The Old Bulls."--A horsc-race, which finished shortly pre vious to the arrival of Lord Combermere, had attracted a vast number to the Park. • Tut 10Trt Ilussans.—This Regiment is now quartered at Ballinrobe, Loughrea, and Gort, to the great gratification of the fashionables in these places.

NEW FEMALE PENITENTIARY. On Wednesday afternoon a very numerous anti highly respectable Meeting of the opulent land and house owners, whose property is situated in the vicinity of Clerken well and Islington, was held at St. James's Church, Clerken. well, for the purpose of taking into consideration the conduct of the Magistracy of the county, who, it was understood, con. templated the erection in Spafields of a new county prison for females ; and in the event of such being their intention the buildings in the vicinity would be rendered of little value. Mr. Lov ELL, the Churchwarden, having been voted to the chair, said, the Meeting had been convened ass vestry, in con sequence of a requisition respectably signed, requesting it might be convened to adopt sonic measures which might coun teract the attempts made to effectually block up the leading ' thoroughfare from the west end of the town to the new squares erected in the vicinity of Clerkenwell, which would be rendered of little value if the course talked of was pursued. He recom mended a dispassionate consideration of the subject, in order to arrive at a steady and useful conclusion. Mr. SCAROILL rose to propose several resolutions. Ile com. menced by observing, that some very short time since Spa fields and the land around it was one continued waste, where every description of nuisance and debauchery appeared to con centrate, and scenes shocking to humanity almost daily, hut flinggenerally on Sundays, occurred, in pugilistic contests for tri. who had improved an d ex fl buildings of an ornamental t B e 3 ti n d i r kind, which were inhabited as soon and even before they were e e d gentlemen r opfo li a s: g b e y , pro erectingir e rty, finished, bad turnel their attention to that laud, which mostly belonged to the country; and in order to obviate the vile nuisances complained of, and to render it a delightful part of London, on the faith of promises made to them they had commenced the buildings, which the increasing population required, and which contributed not only to the Revenue materially, but added to the resources of the coun:ry.—(Hear !)—Those buildings had in creased to an amazing extent, and Spafields was no longer visible, the land being arranged Into pleasant streets. Sonic squares had been famed, which, in point of structure, certainly might vie with those at the fashionable end of the town, and were inhabited by persons of the first respectability, under the impression that the line of buildings would still preserve the great thoroughfare to Russel and Brunswick-squares, end gene rally to that part of the metropolis. Indeed, wider that impres sion, the street connecting, as it were, Wilmington with Russell anl3runswick-squares, had been commenced. But all their efforts were at once rendered abortive, as the thoroughfare was to be stopped, and the place Inclosed, for no other purpose whatever than the erection of a Female House of Correction. Thus the Meeting would perceive that upwards at halt' a million of money, which had been laid out in erecting those buildings, was thrown away, as in future they would not be worth comparatively any thing, and very likely would not be inhabited. It was for t ide purpose he called upon them vigor. ously to request the Magistracy to consider of a revision of their plans, in order that they might not cause the ruin of the men who had removed one of the greatest nuisances that existed in that vicinity. He concluded by proposing a series of resolu tion, recommending a Memorial to the Magistrates, and that a committee might be formed to carry into cflect the resolutions of the meeting- Mr. CLARE, treasurer of the parish, in a very able speech, in which he condemned the line of conduct pursued by the Ma gistrates, observing he thought there were far more eligible spots for a new prison, if it were wanted, proposed and read the Memorial which was addressed to the Magistrates of the county, and which stated, that the hooves in the vicinity of the new prison would be rendered of no value, if the thoroughfares were stopped up ; that a great property was vested in houses in that neighbourhood, which had already, in conse quence of the rumours circulated, become much decreased in value; that it was manifest, from a wall being commenced, . extending across the places where the forming of streets was contemplated, that it was the intention of the Magistrates to block up the thoroughfares, and to cut off all com. ' munication unless by a circuitous and very unpleasant route, with the west.end of the town. The memorial also stated, that the free circulation of light and air would be im. peeled, and of course the general health of the inhabitants affected by such a course. Were not the prayer of the me morialists attended to, near 1,000 families would he ruined. In conclusion, it requested that the thoroughfare might not be ' stopped, and hinted that for a prison of health a worse shim. tian could not be chosen, and pointed out the want of a middle road, as the new road almost daily became more dangerous, and the gentlemen residing near Highgate, Holloway, Islington, Hampstead, &c., anxiously wished for another route, which would be free from hills. The Memorial and Resolutions bob seconded, were carried unanimously, Mr. READ also, at some length, pointed out the mischievous nature of the pro cee di ngs adopted for impeding the thorough. fares, and hoped that the Magistracy, whom he knew to be highly public spirited, and to possess most honourable feelings, would accede to the wishes expressed generally 1 t itoughout that neighbourhood. Several other gentlemen who have embarked all their pro. perty in building speculations in the vicinity, inveighed in Si milar language against the course pursued; some of them re marking that a new House of Correction, exclusively fur f • males, was not w an t e d ; t h at i t was an exp enditure of n o y not required, an t i t h at i t would be highly in jur ious e to a ris ing neighbourhood of respectability. A Committee of Gentlemen being then ' appointed, they were deputed to wait upon the Magistrates, when assembled at Sea. :dons, with the Memorial, and if allowed, to endeavour to point out more fully t h e gr i evance complained of, and to procure an instant answer ; and to adopt any other measures they might deem necessary. The Meeting, after the usual votes of thanks, separated. It would appear, from the extensive preparations going for ward, that the Magistracy have determined upon the erection of the prison : a very long wall, enclosing Spafields, has been commenced, and is already several feet high • and from the scaffolding erecte d, seems a b out to be carried 'much higher, as it it were to surround buildings of sonic extent and security. 'rite plantations on Lord GRENVILLE'S estate, at Dropmore, all arranged under the personal superintendence of the Noble Lord himself, are flourishing and luxuriant, end the more decorative and ornamental part of the gardens and plcasure.grounds, formed by the turnable Baroness, tenders this delightful mansion at the present moment an earthly paradise. - Two children were poisoned last %seek at worthy, by arsenic having been mixed with sul. phur, instead of its usual acc.nnputdment, cream of tartar, « e .

We have received the Paris Papers of Teesdal and the Etude of Wednesday, and have as usual given extracts from then► in our preceding co lumns. The Duile contains accounts from South America ) first published in the Madrid Gazetie,.which it is almost unnecessary for us to characterize as exaggerations. There is 1411° doubt, however, that the Patriot Cause has Pus' ,tuined serious checks in Peru, and that 130. LIVA It and his army, ever► if they have not bee'► obliged to evacuate tl►at country, are in no very enviable situation. I We yesterday copied an article from the Etoik, dated Mentz, July 13th (which the Etoile had copied from the Frankfort Journal), and which purported to be a semi.nflicial notili cation of the triumph gained by Niece METTER• Num in prevailing upon Count MUNSTER to re- P l" ort h u l: t t to i i g e n e i i t o l y ie m p e r n i t n p of rinciples ofs nt, n o t v h e e ri l a i n o f ly o r c A e l l i i n a gal. This statement, as we observed, was incon• sistent with the account transmitted to us by OUT own valuable Correspondent, and we could only, therefore, after expressing our reliance on his superior accuracy, leave the elucidation of the truth to time and the progress of events' The Frankfort Journal itself lies, however, made a formal acknowledgment of its hati n g been informed, and (as will be seen on referring to our extracts from the Etoi/c), has annul: lc"' that it is " authorized to declare, that the era° dated Mayence, July 13th, contained only fa lse and fictitious statements." Our original and ex elusive accounts of the arrival of Count Muns Tan at Johannisberg, therefore, and of the objection s there • taken to the employment of Hanoverian troops iii the Peninsula, remain uncontradict etl We are now enabled to go somewhat furt her than our contemporaries have yet done respect in g the late Ministerial Congress, and to assure ou r Readers, that, now that it has been broken e l ; by the d e p arture of Prince Mereentitcu, is not intended that any further Congress rhall be held in the present year. We are also enabled to state,that none of the resolutions taken a tJ berg ae Lobe considered as final, or as bind ing th e Allied Powers to their adoption ; hut ti at will become the subjects of future discussio" negociation between the respective Cabinets, o i a are reserved f or u l t i mate d ecision after t h ey shall have b een separate l y weighed and re-examined by each of th e great C ontinental Courts. With respect to the state of Portugal, we believe t he : the idea of s en di ng H anoverian troops t h e re for the present abandoned, in consequence the difficulties - a r i s i ng f rom the const it u tion . °f the Germanic Confederation, and that a rein; forcemeat of British marines only, as we ste t % in THE SUN of Thursday se'n n ight, will be 11 1 patched to Lisbon. Yesterd a y a f ternoon, at two o'clock, a Cab ine t Council was held at the Foreign Oflice, D° - i g ing.str ee t, w hi ch did not break up till half4ll four. There were present : net The Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, the 111 V Liverpool, Harrowby, Westmorland, and Bathurst, fir' 'be cretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Cunning the Chancellor 4iool Exchequer, Vigeounts Melville atuf Sidmouth, Mr. Mr. liulkisson, &c.
