Q 4.— Th r e King heard Mass m 'his apartments, and afterwards gave private au diences to his Royal Highness the Prince of Saxe Cubu.rg, to Baron Werther, the Prussian Minis ter, and to the Chevalier de Brit°, the Portu guese Minister. His, Excellency Count Villele transacted busi- T/Plit wlitt the King. The. following is the report of Don Joseph `O'Donnell, Corninander•in-Chief of the Army 'befere Gibraltar : ".Aperlidious faction, composed of about 200 Spanish Re. `fogies -and other obscure individuals of the town of Gibraltar, bariag taken arms, prepared an expedition, under the com mand of the Ex-Colonel Francisco Valdez. This troop having embarked in the Bay, succeeded in seizing on the town and •• island of Tarifa, surpriiing its weak garrison just as it opened the gate on the 3d inetant, at day-break. " Detachments of infantry and cavalry, under the command of Col. Joseph Rarrados, marched immediatelyfrom Algesints towards Tarifa. tic immediately blockaded the place by land, the rebels not daring to attempt a sally. On the evening.of the tith, a French bt igatle of all arms, commanded by Gene ral Count Astorg, arrived in the camp. The blockade was then made much stricter, and at the same time three French ships of war, & Spanish schooner, and four armed boats from Alsgetitras, appeared before the port, so that till means of retreat for these criminals are cut off. They have not enough provisions to hold out in the place, and fresh troops arc arriving speedily to chastise their presumption. Public tranquillity has not been interrupted a moment throughout all this district, notwith standing the false runionrs spread at Gibraltar by the agents of the Revolutionists, who ritliculcmsly threatened our whole line with a general attack, announcing other landings to the east of Gibraltar. Nothing of all this has happened. " The faithful troops of the King, who occupy this camp, . have been reinforcer) this night by the provincial battalion of Seville. 'The whole population is eager nerevenge itself for the insult which these traitors offer it, by supposing they may find accomplices among it. The brave Mountaineers of La Ronda have risen in a mass to oppose every criminal attempt. In ,Abort his Majesty's service is not ex eyed to any sort of danger ,in this part of his dominions. ` Vive le Roi l' Let all his thithful servants be vigilant, to discover whether this plot, 'which has no ramifications here, may not have some in other .places.

Manntn, Alto. 12.—( Private Letter.)—General O'Don nell, by a report, informed the Minister, that whilst Areguln (a physician of Cadiz), Calatrava, and others, remained at li berty in Gibraltar, apprehensions were to he entertained from the Liberal party, which was working to revive Itself. He eherged the (inventor with being privy to the conspiracy. Upon the strength of this report, the Minister dispatched a note to Sir • VV. A'Cnurt, which gave this latter great offence. lie went .himself to seek the Spanish Minister, to whom he expressed hie astonishment that the Spanish Government would place any tidal in the representations of a man of no character, as O'Don nell was. He explained that the Governor of Gibraltar was al ways a Prince of the blood, or one of the principal men of the country, and that if such n potion wished to excite trouble, lie had other means in abundance at his disposal, without being obliged to use such contemptible instruments as Spanish revs"- .lutionists ; that he enneldered the report an offence to the gnglish nation, and that he should make hie report upon it.— However this may be, Sir W. ,%'Court has, in fact, left ror . Lisbon, and the Portuguese Ambassador has come here. Seville letters state that the COI and 7th of the month were days of general alarm in that city. It anneaeea Ow the Go. vernor hail received information that the Revointioniste, to the number of NO, under the orders of leale,arcel, a Lieutenant of Riego, had peeseseed themselves of Irmatut and )Tries, and •thet it was Their intention to -"nevelt upon Seville.

On the llth the remainder of the garrison .went in search of the enemy, but it turned out to he a false alarm. Another letter men. tines that five Englieli vessels of the line had passed on their way to the Strait, but the Cadiz letters are silent on this subject. A courier, arrived from Cadiz yesterday evening, brings in telligence that the Reyolutinniete, who had surprised the City of Tarifa on the morning of the 3tl, had been hotly permed, and that many were already oyeetaken a n d shot. The measures taken are so effectual that none of then' can escape. Sir W. A "Court's journey to ',Mon hats led to the obeerva don that this diplomatist is ldtely to play a part in all the es- Titale which are or have been in a state of ebullition. Already has he been in this way at Naples and Madrid. (Pram the Courier Praneafs.)

BOMBAY PAPERS. nomßAy, 10.—The substance of the dispatch brought by the Malabar from the Vice roy of VEGU to the Supreme Government, given in the Gakutia Gazette of the 22d ult. us under Tnz Bunuzsr.--7•We are authorised to state that the Malabar, lately arrived from Rangoon, 'has brought a letter from the Viceroy of PEGU, in answer to the remonstrance addressed to the Court of Ave, in November last, on the subject of the outrage at Shapooree. The following is the substance of the reply : " The letters 'brought by the English ship were delivered, and on the Petition being submitted to the Ministers of the Most Fortunate Xing of White Elephants, Lord of the Seas and Earth, &c.. &e. they observed, that the English protect the Arracanese rebels, who have violated their oath of allegiance, as well as Chujeet, Marject, the Cassayers or Mannipooreans, and the chiefs of the people of AusaM ;.and that Chittagong, Ramoo, and Bengal, form part of the four great cities of Arra. can ; but as these were worldly matters, they were not worth notice, considering the commercial intercourse carried on by sett-faring men." The letter then proceeds to state that Shien Mabu, or Sim ' pooree, is a dependency of the four great cities, and because British Sepoys were stationed there, the Governor of Arracan requested, in the first instance, that they might be withdrawn, and afterwards caused them to be expelled by the Royal audio,- Thy. The Governor of Arracan having represented that. three ships and three boats are stationed on the 'opposite side of the Naaf, and that a stockade has been erected on the island, and also that his messenger, on arriving at Chittagong, was confined there ; if this be true, the Viceroy observes, " know that the Governors on the Burmcse frontier have full authority to act, and that until every thing is settled, a communication need not be made to the Golden Feet." " The Rajahs and Generals of Arracan, Mimeo, Cheduba, &c., &c., it is added, will, on hearing these occurrences, rise like giants, and lllengee Malta Pandoola has been appointed to regulate all the State affairs. He is vested full powers, and on all important occasions reference is to be made to him vie Arracan. If the Governor-General has any thing to te present, he is advised to state his case to the Bandoola by petition." ANI tr. 17.—We are informed that it Is in contemplation to make a considerable addition to the present number of Senior Captains in the Bombay Marine, and that the whole of the Commanders arc to be made Junior. Captains, the former rank being abolished altogether. Arum 24.—8 y intelligence from Kattywar, we learn, that the notorious Bawa Walla has at last met the fate he has so long merited. Ile was attacked on the (hit inst. in Bessawad. dar, by Ilersoor, a Katty Chief, with whom he bad long been at enmity, and was slain by him In a desperate conflict. It may be in the recollection of many of our readers, that this person, in 1820, carried oft" Lieutenant Grant, of the lion. Company's Marine, while in the Otticawar's service, and kept him In captivity for three months, during which time he was treated with the most savage cruelty. For MOM years past Bawa Walla has been little heard of, but having lately resum ed his former predatory course, apprehensions were entertajn td that he would be the cause of disturbances in that part of the country, when his career has been thus unexpectedly closed by death. CALCIrrr A, APRIL A.—lt appears from recent accounts that the Burmese governor of seam lost his two Golden Chattahs and state palankcen in Cachar. After being driven nut or that province, the second in command was ordered to ,march to Goalpitrah, to offer a sum of money for the purpose of inducing our Government not to enter Assam, and he hati'pro'ceeded one day's journey, when he was informed that we had (on the 10th Mardi) ret fire to At!vtm Choky, upon which he precipitately returned to Gowahatty. The Singh Phoes and !Mantel:l have been attacking and plundering the Assam territory, which lute grentl y annoyed the Burmese. The Governor of Assam conmues at ?tussah with about 1,000 men, but Nome arc woundcd, and a great number had lt:St thew fire arms apd swords in Cachar. The Burmese contrived to carry off with than 1,000 head of cattle. THE GREEK.S.

SURREY YEOMANRY. The Surrey Yeomanry Cavalry has just compl e ted their annual period of Permanent Duty, having, for that purpose, marched into quarters at Croydon, on the 19th inst. _During the service, their conduct in the field was marked by military discipline, and their behaviour in quarters has been exemplarily good. On the 211th they marched out of Croydon to Mers them' where the whole Regiment was regaled at dinner, by their Commander, Lieut.-Colonel S.ir William Jaffe, Bart., on which occasion, that_ unanimity and reciprocity of senti ment so essential to promote that admirable establishment, the Yeomanry of England, was preserved to a late hour. On the 24th the Officers were sumptuously entertained by a dinner given to them by John hlaberly, Esq. M.P., at his seat, Shir ley house, and nn the 25th the Regiment was inspected by Major Darby, the Field Officer for the District, who expressed his - highest opinion,orthfir appearance and manffluvres, after which the Officers gave , a splendid Dinner to a large party of friends ; and the confitiality was considerably enlivened by the Band of the Regiment, which was allowed by every one tebe of a very superior description. SOUTH AMERICA. We have received a copy of Et Argos of the .9-9th of May, a journal published at Buenos Ayres. Though it contains no military intelligence from Peru, we find in it articles which possess consi derable interest on other subjects. A letter from Santiago, in Chile, gives some curious particu lars respecting a papal missionary who has visited that country. ,It is said--" The Republicans begin to view with some jea lousy Senor Musi, the Envoy from his Iloliness. They attri bute to his influence a sermon which has just been preached here, and in which Republicanism was attacked, and the prin ciples of the Holy Alliance recommended. Much indulgence has, however, been shown to the priest; for, though he was banished from the capital, he stopped at a convent of friars, where he has been visited nt all hours by the Apostolic Vicar. It will perhaps appear to you, as it does to us, a remarkable circumstance, that at the same time we were receiving the Ml nister of a great Republic, who came to stimulate us by the 'example of his nation, this preaching in the temple in favour of principles hostile to the Republican system should be connived at. This has happened in Chile ; but surely such a thing will not occur any where else." On this subject the Argos observes :—" Without den y in g to this letter that credit which is due to it fr om the res p ectable character of its author, we find it difficult to believe, that if the Government of Chile bad obtained comp lete e vid ence o f the in . flosses exercised by the Apeetolie Vicar with regard to this ser mon or apology of the European continental system, that such indifference as to the person of the illustrious Envoy would have been shown.. We rather believe, although suspicions re ',peering the Envoy, not only in consequence of his character, but of the manner in which he Wait introduced, are not wanting since his arrival in this part of America, that the Government of Chile has not Nit itself possassed of those legal proofs which would have enabled it to speak as becomee an American autho rity, in any case in which the military or political trumpets of the - despotic 'confederacy of Europe may be heard in America." The anniversary of the Iluenoi Ayres Revolution of the !lath of May, 11110, was this year distinguished by the preeence - of a Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States, "Mee pritish ' t rh inu e ed cer ten en t l h o e ni 2 es at a l l i lt a i n r t e l i 2li c t i h n . gli O b n ega tl n ielist ti o le f 2 C 4 o t n i;: u a l n A d l e w n e e r r e al e . on those days a grand diplomatic dinner wan given at the Govern ment-houee.

Mr. llonsresr rose.—As silence might he thought improper, T take the liberty of claiming your attention for a few moments. This is the second time I have visited your beautiful cOuntry, being on b ot h occas ions commissioned by that distinguished individual (whose health you have just drank with so much applause) who presides over the United States with so much honour and credit to himself. with so much advantage to his world. The and with so much benefit to the whole civilized The first time I arrived here you received me with kindness, anti with marks of joy. On my last arrival, charged to execute the agreeable task of recognizing your Sovereignty in the most solemn and just manner, my reception on the part of the people and the Government was to me personally most grateful, and to my country most honourable. When i recollect that this festive moment is devoted to the celebration of that independence for the preservation of which ardent prayers have been otTered up to the Supreme Being, in whose hands repose the destinies of states arid empires—when I see around me patriots and soldiers who have supported that solemn act, both in the cabinet and in the field —when I see heroes who have scaled the Andes, and won im perishable laurels in the victories of Chacabuco and Maypu, my bosom glows with sensations which I am unable to express. United as is my name with the commemoration of this great and glorious event, I cannot but sensibly feel the personal ho nourconferred upon me. It is not, however, to me individual ly, but to the illustrious Government and the free people I re present, that the distinguished mark of honour is awarded, and fee which I return my thanks. It surely never can be among the high dispensations of I )ivine Providence, , that this beauti ful pert of the globvsitto t return"to its anctent - state of colonial vassalage and servitude.

Never ' theleas, I will offer you my sincere and repeated thanks. 1 have had the good fortune to be sent to this country as the first public agent from my nation. You know that one of my duties is, to collect information on the actual state of the affairs and form of this Government, Every thing I have seen, every thing I have learned, since my arrival at Buenos Ares, does so much honour to the Government and people of this state, that I can assure you with all sincerity, that my representations to my Government will be consistent with whet I hope for—th e establishment of relations of friendship with this country, in that mode imillorm which the progress of its excellent instite - dons entitles it to inahe face of the world. Gentlemen, with your permission, I drink " To the peace and prosperity of 'Buenos Ayres." Senor Rivadavia, by the particular desire of the President, returned thanks to Messrs, 'Rodney and Parish. THE LATE MR. BELZONI. [From the Cambridge Chrpnick.l We are 'at length enabled to lay before our readers the interesting details of the illness end death of Mr. BELZONI. It Is impossible to speak -too highly of the kind attention which this distinguished traveller experienced from the period of his arrival at Cape Coast &tie, to the moment of his lamented decease ;—and the most pleasing and heartfelt consolation must be derived to his affectionate widow and to his aged mother, from witnessing such testimonies to his de parted merits.—Mr. Houtson, in his admirable letter to Mrs. Belzoni, truly says, " that her loss will be shared by the wise and good ;" and our readers will not perhaps be displeased if we here present them with one or two passages from the recent publication of the celebrated Champollion, the sagacious inter. preter of those hitherto dark and apparently inexplicable sym bols, the Egyptian Hieroglyphics. " Le Tombeau de Ramses Meiamoun existe encore dans la Vallee de Biban el Molou k ; cette superbe excavation renter. mait un Sarcophage dont le convercle de granit rouge avant dix pieds de long, a it 6 tranaporti par Le Celebre Voyageur Bel zoni d'Egypte en Angleterre, ou it dJcore le Musee de l'Uni. versite de Combridge. ' " (rest d'un tree beau manuscrit Egyptien hieroglyphigue, rapporte d'Egypte par le courag eux Voyageur Belzont."l- La figure extraite de l'untles manuscrits Egyptiens rap. port4s par l'indefatigable Belzoni." Such are the epithets which foreigners apply to this lamented traveller; and the more we reflect upon the extraordinary qua. lities which he united in himself, the more cause we have to regret his premature loss. When, indeed, shall we again fi n d sointrepid an explorer of the burning desert? lie has, how ever, done much to facilitate African researches, by his visit to Fez, and we are confident that the route to Timbuctoo is prac ticable front that quarter. It must be remembered also, that 2001. is at this moment in the hands of the Moorish agent at Tinibuctoo, to whom it was remitted by the Minister of the Emperor of Morocco for Mr. Belzoni's special use. This sum may be reserved for the use of some more fortunate traveller, accredited by our Colonial Department; and on this, and on many other accounts, we trust that a memorial which will shortly be presented to Government by the widow of Mr. Bel zoni, will meet with a favourable attention. We now subjoin the promised letters:-- COPY of a LETTElt_from Mr. HOIITIIOII, with an account of Mr. BELZOWI'S death. Sent to Messrs. Briggs, Brothers, and Co. Golden-square, London. Schooner Providence, off Benin River, Dec. 23, 1023. (Deceived 16th of June, 1024.) Messrs. Brine, Brothers, and Co. GEN I. eat it X —lt is with feelings of the deepest distress that I announce to you the death of your distinguished friend Mr. G. Belzoni, who departed this life on the 3d instant, at Gain, in the dominions of the King of Benin, on his way to Houssa and Timbuctoo.—lt was his dying request that I should write to you the particulars of his illness and death. I therefore pro. ceed to relate them as circumstantially as my memory serves me.--On the 30th of October, his Majesty's gun-brig Swinger, arrived ratite bar of this river; her boats crossed the bar to the schooner Providence, belonging to me, haVing Sir. Belzoni on board, with only one servant and a Houssa man.

In the meantime he went to see the King of Warm, who has the command of the rivers and creeks through which. we pass to Benin. On his return I bad settled with the Frances Mine, and we left Bobee (where the vessels lay) on the'23d of November. We reached Gat° on the 24th, a distance of 05 miles —the 25th Mr. B. employed in re. ducing and repacking his trunks and apparel, preparatory to his long journey. He seemed in good spirits, although rather weakly in consequence of a slight bilious attack he experienced at Bobee—he departed for Benin, distant 45 miles, on the morn. ing of the 26th, and arrived there the same evening. The mode of travelling is in a hammock slung to a long pole, and car ried on men's shoulders at the rate of four miles an hour -During the journey, Mr. Belzoni complained of a trou. blesome diarrhoea—on our arrival at Benin I advised hint to send for his medicine chest to (law, and in the meanwhile to drink a decoction of the bark of the Guava tree, which is regarded by the natives as an infallible cure for the bloody flux or dysentery, but he preferred waiting for his own medicines. On the morning of the 27th he seemed still in good spirits. I waited on the King, and explained to him the, objects of Mr. Belzoni's journey. I represented him as an Indianian or Malay, who had resided long in England, and was now on his way to his own country, but that he had friends at Houssa and therefore begged his Majesty for his messengers and proteelion as far as Rousse. Though much jealousy was exhibited on the part of the King and his Nobles, regarding the object of a white man traveling so far into Bush, I at last suc ceeded in removing their objections, and arranged with the 'King that his messenger, with the boatswain of my factory, and nee,pf, my boys, should accompany Mr. Belzoni as far as Musses and wait there until Mr. B.'s return front Timbuc tad.' al it!' brink letters front him to me and to his friends in E uro pe, on the receipt of which I gave my written engagement to atteke the King a handsome present , and pay his messenger arc neling to the report the letters should give of his conduct-- This was tie plan I recommended to Mr. Belzoni when he first enplaned to me the general object of his journey ; and he now veined qnhe feral that I had, sacceeded so well, when I intnniaraf him of the result of my negociation with the King. —His 'Majesty sent for him the same evening, but he was too unwell to see him- On the morning of the 20th, the flux had assumed every appearance of dysentery; he had lost his usual spirits, and told me the hand of death was upon him. In the everting the medicines arrived, and he immediately took castor oil and • some laudanum as frequently as the oil operated 'in the night. On the 20th I advised a course of calomel com bined with opium and rhubarb, until a slight salivation should be effected, but he declined it as too hazardous in his then weakly state. He continued much the same until the morn ing of the 2d of December, when he begged of me, as a last request, that 1 would send him down to Gato, and thence on board one of the vessels at Bobee, in the hope of the sea-breeze having a beneficial effect; to hich, though reluctant 7 y, lat last consented. I had then, indeed, but little hopes. I ac cimiingly got the _ people ready, anti sent him off at eight o'clock, accompanied by Mr. Smith, intending' to follow myself the moment the hammock-boys should return to Gato. They reached that place late at night. On the road the flux abated, And on his arrival, Sir. Belzoni, although much fatigued, con sidered himself better, and appeared in good spirits. He at some bread, and drank a cup of weak tea. Ile slept until four o-clock, when he awoke with a dizzinese in his head, and a coldness of the extremities • lie did not speak, but his eyes chewed delirium ; he drank some arrow-root gruel, and con. tinned in a weak state, suffering but little pain apparently, until a quarter before three p. tn. when he breathed his last. On the morning of his leaving Benin he called me, and de sired that in the event of his death, I should send the whole of his trunks and packages, with the exception of his medicine chest, which he wished me to accept, on board of the Liverpool bug Caster, and then jointly with W. Fell, supeicargo of that vessel, look over his various articles which lie had brought out for payment of his travelling expences, .and sell such as we might conceive would cause too much expense and trouble in returning home ; and that the remainder of what could not be sold, together with his wearing apparel, booka, papers, &c. should be 'shipped on board the Caster, a nd forwarded to your "address in Lon - don.' • lie then, with much difficulty wrote a few lines to your house, which I sealed up with his memorandum-book. He was about to write to Mrs. Belzoni, but his strength failed him. How ever, he desired me to bear witness that he died in the fullest and most affectionate remembrance of her, and begged I would write to her and send her the ring . which he then wore. He was perfectly collected, and spoke with calm fortitude of his approaching death as an event certain, and declared, when he lied finished, that he wits satisfied, and committed his life and spirit to the will of God. I arrived at Gato the afternoon of the 4th. Mr. Smith had already prepared the body for interment, and I went and ar. ranged with the governor fur the ground round a large plane tree, under whose wide-spreading branches we dug the grave six feet deep; it was finished at nine o'clock, when we com mitted his remains to the earth, paying every respect the situation and time permitted. I read the Church of England service (burial) at the grave, and at the condo sion my eighteen canoe-men, with Sir. Smith and . myself, fired three willies of musketry ever the grave. The following • The tomb of Rameses Meiammon still exists in the valley of llibon El Melect, near Thebes. This superb excavation contains a sarcophagus of red granite, whose lid, of the same material, ten feet in length, has been transported to England by the celebrated traveller Belzoni, and now adorns th e Ai u . scum of the University of Cambridge.—(lt was presented by Mr. Belzoni to the ):itzwilliam Museum.) It is from a very beautiful Egyptian Aranuscript of Hieroglyphics, brought from Egypt by the intrepid traveller Belzoni. o„ o f t h e Egyptian Manuscripts brought over by the in detatiguble Belzoni. r morning I sent his trunks and packages down to Bobee, wider the care of Mr. smith, to the Caster brig, and requested IVIr. Fell to allow his carpenter to make me a headboard with the following inscription. He kindly sent it up by return of the canoe, and I placed it over the grave. I ought also to mention, that the brig Caster, the schooner Providence, and the Ameri can brig Curlew, fired each several• minute gas out of respect to the memory of him who had so lately been theirdistinguished guest. " Here lie the remains of G. Belzoni, Esq. who Was attacked with a dysentery at Benin on the 20th of November, on his way to Houssa and Timbuctoo, and died at Gato on the 'e.d of that everyt gr ave. European,ave of thi i v n i tLe t December, 1823.

The route of the journey given to me by the King of Benin, emplora 22 days in journeying from Benin to lloussa ; near Nytill, 2 days journey from Houssa, the Great Water (the Niger) is crossed. The King's name is held in high respect even as far as Houssa —I therefore had no hesitation in recommending t ened the his route to Mr. Belzoni.

I have to acknowletlge the kindness and assistance of Mr. Fell, who in this matter has evinced the interest he takes in every thing respecting his departed friend—for so every one telt disposed to esteem Mr. Belzoni on even the sliglitest se. quaintance with him.
