PERU. The following letter, dated Callao, April the 2gth, is curious, as showing that the troops who delivered up that fortress to the Spaniards were deceived into that act of treachery, and OW there was little prospect of their remaining long attached to their new masters Of course you have heard of the unfortunate business of the sth of February last. This the Spaniards wish to attribute to the love of Ferdinand ; but the fact is, that the soldiers forming the detachment of the army of the Andes, disgusted with the conducted of their Chiefs, to whom they attri buted the state of misery and poverty to which they were reduced, demanded in the first instance the pftyment of their arrears, without having any idea whatever of joining with the Spaniards. U nfortunately, their own officers having been placed in confinement, and the men therefore being left without their usual advisers, some of the Spanish prisoners took advantage of this, and persuad e d t h em, that after their insubordinate conduct towards the Patriot authorities, all hope of reconciliation must be at an end ; and that, whatever might be the promises made as the price of their submission, they never would be fulfilled when the Patriots had the power in th• own hands ; at the same time pointing out the advantages which would attend a union with tl:e Spauiards. On this persuasion the troops yielded and gave up the fortress ; but the garrison are not, and can never be , cordial friends with the Spatkeds." COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE. ST. VINCENT'S, JULY 10.

Mildred, proceeded t o t h e Court Hall about four o'clock, when Mr. Alderman Snoulten and Mr. Alderman Pierce were put In nomination; polling immediately commenced, and conti nued till a late hour, during which time bands of music, with flags, colours, and appropriate devices, paraded the streets ; fireworks of every description, with torches and fire-balls, that the place was in one cont i nue d bl aze . On the numbers being proclaimed, Mr. Alderman Snoulten was declared duly elected ; that Gentleman returned thanks for the honour that day done him, and the meeting dispersed ; not so the mobility, who paraded the streets, rolling sugar casks, ,Sec. &c.. to the great annoyance of the shins of those unluy wights who were unable to escape from the rapidity with which they came; luckily no material damage occurred, and peace and quietness were at length restored.—llop-picicing has here become very general; they are of excellent quality, with few exceptions.

OUTRAGES IN COUSICA.—The Journal of Car.. ems furnishes a series of dreadful crimes.— " On the 3d of August, after a disturbance which took placo at Paggiodimoriani between two brothers, Barden and Martin Albertini, both labourers and of the same commune, the latter killed the former with a hatchet by two blows on the head, and then stabbed his sister in law with a stiletto in the groin. The assassin afterwards fled.—On the 13th of the same month the wife of Sieur Antoine Ercule, an inhabitant of Bastin, was sitting before the door of lier house, with a soldier, who was presumed to he her gallant, when her husband ordered her to go in. The woman, seeing that, upon her refusing, her husband would force her to obey him, immediately rose, and having a carving knife in her hand, gave him three stabs, by which he was severely wounded. On the 16th of the month one Sicche of St. Margaret, in the duchy of Genes, having embarked is tat open boat, reached the island of Rousse, in company with a friend named Gallinna. Sicche now asked for some supper, whea Gallium requested him to accompany hint to the custom-house. Sicche here re. putted his request, upon which Galinna, who seemed to be ' sporting with his carbine, said—" Here is what I have to give you to eat !" The unfortunate Sicche tried to turn away the muzzle of the piece, but ineffectually; it went off, and the ball passed through his body. It appeared, however, the wound was not mortal; the criminal, who took to flight, is pursued." A letter from Rome says—" The Advocate Fri has, after a most diligent and laborious research of three years, succeeded in discovering the source of the water San Gregorio, which runs under the palace Villa Mattel. His re sults thew, that is the same water wh ich w a s called b y the ancients ' the Water of Mercury,' at the Capenlan (late, and which was annually used on the 15th of May with great cere mony at the festival in the temple of Mercury, built about 494 years before Christ."

WELSH POOL MUSICAL FESTIVAL. Since the days when Kings and Princes used to preside at the Bardic Meetings held in Wales, nothing hat occurred to inspire the ardent and patriotic feelin's of the Cam. brians equally to the Povsyt El a ted('lA which was held at Welsh Pool last week. Tinstekr. Early in the morning the bells rung a rnetory peel, the heralds went round, and gave notice by sound of trumpet, that the Bards were about to assemble in congress. By 11 o'clock, the Town Hall( which had been extended toonehundred and five feet for the purpose), was filled with the fair maids of Cambria, and beautiful Saloplan lasses. The Noble President, Lord Clive, t tok his seat, supported b_y the Earl of Powys Lord Hill, Lard Delammt, and their Ladies, and a number of other illus. t iaus personages. Lord Clive, in a very excellent address, stated the object of these meetings, which were to promote Welsh literature, poetry, and music, to encourage modern genius, anti to unite the natives of the principality in the bonds of good fel lowship.—The several bards then recited stanzas, which they had composed on the occasion ; and the Committee appointed to judge of the merits of the different compositions sent in, on the subjects proposed by the Society, delivered their adjudication, and the several candidates were invested with silver medals, ik.c. The different ceremonies of' chairing the bard, &c. were relieved by the performance of the Band of the Horse Guards (Blues), which attended on the occasion from London, and the Welsh harps.—ln the evening a Concert was performed, and so attractive was the bill of fare, that the spacious hall was com pletely filled. To enumerate the different pieces would occupy more space than we tan afford ; suffice it to say, that Miss Ste phens quite enchanted the company, M iss Carew delighted them, Mr. Vaughan and Master Smith charmed them, Messrs. Smith, Collyer, Parry, and Rolle, exerted thenutelves with the greatest success, while Lindley and Nicholson by their in. imitable talents, astonished and enraptured all. The Band (ably led by Mr. Tomlins), consisted principally of amateurs from Shrewsbury, with Messrs. Lyon, Daniels, Harper, and Lindley, jun., from London, and the nand of the Blues. The solo players were Mr. Nicholson, flute; Mr. !d ley, violon i cello; Mr. Davies, pedal harp; 3lr. Parry, on the flageolet, end Mr. Tomlina, on the violin. silTvehreHllaarpllWZDKlCSlDAY. e se thelief, ii c o r n p t e a s r r y t for wrote the .was Nine ag candidate again thmn gt. d catered ww t tn e their names on slips of paper, and Lord Clivedrew them out of a hat t the Interest It created was intense, Pardillularly as the conductor led on some of the Blind Minstrels. After a very fair trial, the Silver Harp was awarded to Henry Humphreys, of Welsh Pool, and he was invested by Lady Lucy Clive with the prize, amidst the enthusiastic plaudits of the audience._ Previously to this ceremony, the Pennillion singers sung, with the Welsh harps, after the manner of the Ancient Britons, for a silver medal. Eight candidates appeared, whom Mr. Parry arranged, four on each side of the harper. After singing once around, the four best were placed again who sung once each; then two were placed, bat they informed Mr. Parry that they were neighbours and did not wish to contend. As soon as this was made known, the kindly feelings of the honest Cambrian* were rewarded with universal cheering, and the Noble Nest dent begged to present another medal, in order to foster that praiseworthy friendship which existed between the two yo. calists. The poor fellows shook each other heartily by the hand over the emblem of harmony (the harp), which made as much impression on the company as ever a Siddons or a Kern ble dicl.—A blind man who sang wery well had made a strong impression, Mr. Parry brought him forward, and Lord Clive announced that Lady Delamere wished to present him with a medal—(Shouts of applause)—The exiacy of the dark child of son; knew no bounds, he clapt his hands and capered ahem the orchestra, to the infinite delight of the company. Miss Stephens, Mies Carew, Lindley, Vaughan, and indeed all the professors from London were present, and declared that they had never been more entertained ; the scene was alto. gether a novel and as interesting one. After sonic excel. lent speeches from the President and the Noblemen around him, and addresses from the Committee, &c. the Eilted4ilid closed with " Goa save the King," in full chorus. In the evening a second Concert took place. and the whole of the evinent performers, both vocal and instrumental, exerted themselves with the utmost success. An universal regret pervaded the morn, that a severe hoarseness prevented Master Parry from singing. but his little friend Smith most cheerfully sung for him, with Miss Carew, the excellent duet of " Tell me, gentle Stranger," which was rapturously tywrgd. THURSDAY. .A gand selection of Sacred Music was perfortnad this morn. tag in the church, which war crowded with persons from all parts of the principality and the adjoining English counties. The or chestra consisted of an hundred performers, amtthe whole per formance was of the first order. It elicited several trains from the London Professors, who had no Wee that such a se lectionmplished amid the 'Welch mountains.— nut singers, wils w t a h l o r u e g g l u it n a t d ed vi t ss o b d l o e i t t o ne b a re tl : y ik , warm, o'f several windows, and a Glazier, a w 'r t Pler w ii a aowy s n o beou n fl e litni o lbille f era t a h aer:t e hPere ch o of course he were cheerfully to work, and with a large stick laid on with all his might, to the no small entertainment of the congregation. (Q. Does he contract for keeping the windows in repair?) J. J. Jones, Mus. Doe. took the organ (as well as the pianoforte at the concerts), and acquittesi himself with 'the greatest credit. Miss Carew sung a new anthem, which was intended for Master Parry, with an obligato accompaniment for the violonoello, we need only add that Lindley was theft. Miss Stephens gave " Let the bright Seraphim" (with Harper's trumpet), with her %aunt expressive powers: in short, all did well, and not a single mistake or interruption occurred during the festival, which was entirely under the direc tion of Mr. Parry, and who received the public and private thanks of the President, Vice-Presidents, Sub scribers, and the Committee: the urbanity and good feel ing which pervaded the whole orchestra, tended greedy to promote the interest and effect of the performers.— After the Church Performance, about two hundred Gentle. men dined in the To wn Hall, Lord Clive in the Chair, sup ported by several Noblemen and Persons of rank and fortune. Messrs. Parry, Smith, Collyer, Rolle, and Master Smith attended, and sung several songs, duets, and glees, to the great gratification of the company. The Noble P res ident appeared like the father of a numerous family ; he gained the esteem of all who had never seen him before, by his affable demeanour, and strengthened the regard of those to whom he wits already known. An apology was made for the absence of Sir W. W. Wynn, who ism the Highlands ofScotland. C. W. W: Wynn did not attend, in consequence of the death, of a daughter. These circumstances were a source of g reat ..ve gave regret. vea m A as s t a sl g ip ra e n ri i! jinak to the gay scene, Lady Lucy CU fete at Powys Castle on Friday night; all the world was there, and the magnificence of the scene was grand beyond descrip tion. Paine's Band from London was stationed in the long room (one hundred and forty feet), and quadrilles were danced with great spirit; the tine Band of the Blues was in the hall. About one o'clock the company sat down in va rious apartments to a most costly supper. Gunter and his corps had been there for a long time, and any thing that could be produced or procured adorned the tables.—The Lon don performers were invited, but only Mr. Parry and Miss Carew were present, who must hare been highly gratified by the marked attention of the Noble Host and beautiful Hostess. It was fairy land, and all the Company declared it never was surpassed in any pert of Europe. TIM EARL. OF MAR.—Friday last having been the day appointed for the Earl of Mar's visit at Alloa, at an early hour the utmost bustle prevailed amongst the inhabitants in making preparations for his reception. The number of spectators was greater than within the recollection of the oldest inhabitants t perhapo no less than thirty thousand persons were present. When the carriage appeared on the opposite shore all eyes were fixed on the spot; and no sooner had the steam-boat left the shore, with the carriage on bead, t h an a large gu n, which was stationed to the west, was fired, the bands imme. diately striking up "Oh 1 ye've been la o• comin'." This WAS an interesting moment, and recalled - the memorable land ing of the King at Leith. The fire was answered from the wood-yard of llir. Bald to the east, and kept up all the time of crossing. The boat having now reached the opposite shore, Lord Abercrombie immediately sprang over the bulwarks, and weloomed the old Earl and his two daughters, by heartily shaking them by the hands. The horses being taken from the carriage, a great many sturdy fellows pulled it from the bo a t to the elid of the pier amidst the loud huzzaa of the multi. tuda, where it remained till the whole line of procession bad passed it, and with which the Earl was highly delighted, although at times he appeared to be overcome with the distin. guishing honours he was receiving. The Earl is a fine looking old man, about $4 years of age, snd, in general, kept smiling to the crowd, many of whom approached the carnage, and shook hands with him. The whole procession, with the Earl in- Its train, pmeetded tip .the iligh-street, an d t h roug h t h e other streets leading to Mat-street, where it entered a grand triumphal arch erected there, and bearing the following in eription :—" Alloa hails her ancient Lord." During the whole of the way the carriage was guarded on each side by three of the gentlemen on horseback mentioned above. - Having ar rived- at the Tontine, at the top of 31w...street, the Earl was received by his friends, and the several incorpomtiona dispersed to their different lodges. The day was fine, and notwithstand ing the immense crowd, not a single accident occurred. — (Scots -man.)

They had on board, besides, Mr. Hodge, the owner of the vessel, and his son, a lad about 17 years of age, and 31r. Hothwell, a passenger. They had a rather favourable pas sage until the 7th of May, when during the prevalence of a dense fog, and whilst the vessel was sailing at the rate of eight knots an hour, they struck against a body of ice that was level with the surf ac e o f th e wa t e r. The shock was so severe, that the vessel was stove in, and after a vain attempt to stop the leak, they were forced to get into the boat, without being able to s ave a morse l of food, a drop of water, or an article of clothing but what they had on, and push from the ship, which was rapidly sinking. Soon after leaving the vessel she wont down, and they proceeded to make the best of their way to. wards the land, from which they were then 300 miles dicant. They continued to row for three days, when being completely exhausted by fatigue, hunger, thirst, and cold, they were compelled to desist, and resign i ng t h emselves to their fate, they allowed the boat to drive before the sea. On thetifth day, Mr. Bothwell, the passenger, expired on the seventh day, young Hodge, the owner's son, died his father, a few hours after, shared the same fate; and was speedily followed by Cost and Dingle, the two seamen, the mate and the boy, leaving only the master and Olford alive, but re duced to the last state of weakness. On the 17th of May, ten days after quitting the 31ount-stone, they were observ ecl by a vessel belonging to Liverpool, on board of which they were taken and treated with every attention their deplorable state required. The next day they were landed about 11)0 miles front St. John's, where they obtained medical assistance. In consequence of his feet being frost-bitten whilst in the boat, Olford had them amputated a little above the uncles. In the month of October last, he was sent to St. John's, to obtain a passage home i • whilst there, it was found necessary again to amputate his legs a little below the knees. After recovering front this second operation, he was sent home, and has at length reached his native place in the state already described.—(ll of Briton.) TIIE ARMY. The Ist division of the 67th Regiment of Infantry has ar. rircd on hoard the Baltic Merchant transport, at Chatham, from Cork. The Ist Battalion of the Rifle Brigade has marched from Dublin to Belfast. The' d Battalion of the Rifle Brigade has moved from Tem. plemore to Dublin. A detachment of N men, belonging to the 20th and 40t1t Regiments of Infantry, antler the command of Lieut. Henry Clinton, of the 20th Foot, will arrive to day at Chatham, frJut Portsmouth, preparatory to embarking at Deptford, as guads, on hoard the Lady East and Asia convict-ships, which are tied tined for New South Wales. The Syren South Sea Whaler, Capt. FRRDERIC Cosine, arrived on Thursday evening last at Deptford, after a voyage of twenty-five months, having left Gravesend, Aug. 2, 11122. She was built as a pleasure-yacht, by the express com mand of I o I/MIT E, and hes met with great success, har ing returned with 320 tuns of oil. During the passage out, on Easter Monday, March 31, 11123, while off the southernmost of the Pelew Islands, under a lively breeze, several large sailing canoes appeared in sight, which increased in number to near 39, each having from six to ten on board, upon which the Syren slackened sail, and on approaching many of the natives called out, as through motives of inquiry, " English ! English !" and being answered in the affirmative, they came alongside, and with tolerably correct pronunciation repeated " Givens a rope" —this was complied with. From the generally reported mild and pacific demeanor of these people, who, to the number of about one hundred, quickly crowded the deck, civilities were exchanged in apparently . the most friendly manner, and as they brought few provisions with them, and no articles of curiosity, the crew commenced bartering for their spears, with which they were armed, and with they seemed to part reluctantly. At this time the vessel continued under easy sail, the canoes closely accompanying them, to their companions, in which those on bunt seemed in no degree anxious to return. The mate, who felt a little distrust from their superiority' in numha, the crew being o:.ly thirty -steal, communicated his opinion to the Captain, who instantly coin.. eldest, and g the orders to crowd more sail, thinking it wou'd induce tlran to depart. This appeared to occasion some little dislike, and in a few m'nntes after, while Captain Coffin was in a beat lashed to the side, giving orders to t'iat effect. tseJ of the natives, at a preconceried signal it is swpp sed, suddenly seized him, and endeavoured to throw him into the sea, while a general attack was commenced on the last of the crew.— The Captain disenga;el hinisilt; succeeded in gaining Vie deck, and calling aloud that their lives and t.e safety of the ship depended on desperate fighting, a fierce engage. ment ensued. Those of the natives who in traffic had part ed with their spears, were assisted with others from the canoes, or availing themselves of the harpoons, which with great dex terity they broke to a suitable length, while others gaining the whaling spades, used in diggi.ig into the fish when caught, continued a most furious attack ; notwithstanding the disparity the crew succeeded in driving dime to the stem of the vessel, where they leaped overboard, and regained th e ir canoes . It i s worthy of remark, that whenever any of the natives were wounded or stunned by being knocked down, they were flea try thrown by their comrades into the sea, where they either swam or were picked up by their companions, who frequently at tempted to accompany them to return, but were always repulsed in endeavouring to get up the sides, and throughout encou raged them by loud. cheering. On their quittingg, the Sytes the crew commenced firing, and though greatly exlieuq ed, having a reads' supply, of ammunition, it was kept up while within musket shot, but with what effect is not known, as several they supposed killed, from their fulling into the water, were seen to rise and regain their canoes; nearly the whole of the ship's company were wounded severely in this attack ; the effects of which, notwithstanding the seuremitting exertions and skill of the su rgeon , s e v e ra l will never, it is feared, entirely recover from, and it is to be regretted that the carpenter, named Jos. Caulfield, who fought most courageous ly, - lost his life by a blow from a whale spade, which nearly se vered his head from his body, as did William Warrer, haat. steerer, to the second mate, who was spared most dreadfully through the body ; the latter has left an aged mother, and the former a wife and ten children, living in London, totally on. provided for. The retreat of the savages was as sudden as the attack, from their mode of which—their pronunciation of certain words—their jealousy in parting from their weapons-.. the seizure of peculiar implements, and converting them into seizure o o f n t d h e e ck C ,_ ap ti ta le i c n r , ow an oo d opinion that the whole was concerted and organised by Euro nitttnucoeuiln. m we erii n ig a— w t h h e e n a t t l ea le c r k e w lu er ld e peens or Americans, resident in the island ; what deterred thtm from entertaining the least suspicion was, the Syren having a sheyeatitoe previous apoke a vessel, which stated she had been aground near the reels Islands, and the prompt assistance that had been rendered by the native,. The beautiful church orS'L Ginez, in Madrid, one of the finest monuments of architectural grandeur, latey fell a prey to the flames, along with several houses adjoining. It is suspected that it was a wilful act of incendiarism. Yesterday evening a Coroner's Inquest was held at the Bible, in Shire-lane, on the body of Thomas Raw, who came by his death by falling down a cellar , about ten feet in depth. lie was immediately picked up a nd conveyed to a surgeon ; but, , notwithstanding every assistance was rendered, he expi red in a few hours after. Verdict—Accidental Death. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE. `tzlarinquest was taken yesterday at one o'clock before T. Sit E I.T ow, Esq. at the sign of the Feathers, White friars, on the body of Henry Rutheithury, formerly a master. builder of Cheltenham, who put a period to his existence in thce back area of the chambers, situate at No. 11, King's Bench walk, Temple, on Sunday morning, by cutt i ng hi s throat with a pen-knife. Evidence having been adduced as to the finding of the bOdy, and .the approaches to the spot, the surgeon who was called in to examine the body deposed to the state in which he found it; the windpipe was completely severed, and there was also seve ral stabs on the body which were doubtlessly given by the same instrument. The principal wound was of itself enough to cause instant death. From the wet that had fallen in the course of the morning much of the blood must necessarily have been washed away, but a very considerable quantity of blood which had congealed still remained. He considered the rain to have caused the two marks of blood, having made a sort of eh inn I between them. When the witness was called in, the deceased was past all hopes whatever of recovery. Norris, Esq., deposed to going into the area and examin ing the body of the deceased. A* the body lay, it was at first sup potted that he must have attempted to have climbed over the wall front Mr. Hope's wharf a nd f e ll on his head; this however was not the tact; tOr on he (the witness) desiring the por ters to turn over the body, the knife now produced was found covered with blood. With respect to the two Marks of blood, he had no do u bt t h at or i g i na ll y i t was b ut one mass, but the rain had made it appear two. The rain had also washed away many marks which would otherwise,no doubt,have clearly proved how the unfortu na t e man got i nto t h e s i tuat i on in which he way found. There however still remained much coagulated blood on the ground. On examining the body, the hands, face, and extremities were quite cold; but on feeling the breast, some slight warmth still remained. From the appearance of the de ceased, witness felt no doubt that he must have 'been insane at the moment of committing the awful act. Richard Heath—Had known the deceased for five years. He formerly resided at Cheltenham, and was a master builder. For the last week witness thought Inm, from his manner, to have been In a continual state of intoxication. On Saturday wick hu was in poisession of some money to pay his men, 1.1)16 he did. Witness, in the frequent interviews he had vi th him, always considered him intoxicated o r ma d, which latter opinion arose in his mind from the melancholy end he had come to. Richard Marshal and Samuel Gould deposed to various ex. traordinary acts of the deceatied within the.lait fortnight, such as giving orders and then altering them • at times raving and throwinv his arms about, and swearing ;hat everybody robbed him. Gould also &petted to his, on tinJ occasion, sleeping in a saw pit thu wholu night. Front the general tenor of the evidence adduced, it was clear the unfor:unate man was deranged, and the Jury brought in a virdict accordingly. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

On his return from Ireland I again challenged him, and after much difficulty, got him to put down Si. at Ran. dall's, with an understanding that we should meet next night and put down 20/. each more. This event did not take place, a a dig pp tte arose about the person who should hold the stakes. On tht.foltoving day we met at Mr.Egan's,and before him agreed to meet on the 2fith, and either of us failing to make the money good should forfeit the N. down, with N. more on honour ; but how great was my surprise on the morning of the 26th to findMr.Lan. gan, with all his bluster, was absent, and had got his own money, with my Si. out of Mrs. Randall's hands long before the day arrived. Since then he writes to London to say he will nut fight until the latter end of November, although our agreement was to fight in October. His motive for so doing ill becomes a champion of either England or Ireland ; for as I am not a very young man, ice minks, in his low cu ing way, to drive me further into the winter ; but that shall be no obstacle, for will fight him on the day he appoints and am ready to make a match ; but before that can take place, let him have the honesty to tend m 10/., or, if he has a just sense of honour, 151.
