His Excellency prays you to have this communication circulated among the authorities of the country. TomAs DE DERES, see. ' SOUTH AsIERICA.---We learn that the Trimmer has brought advices from Lima, as late as the 16th Sept.. A letter states that a Spanish line of battle ship (probably the Asia) and a sloop of war had arrived at Callao, and raised the blockade on the 10th October. Fifteen large transports were at Panama, taking on board 4,000 troops from Colombia, going to reinfore llor.l VA a. A letter from Carthagena states, that the accounts from Bor.ivsu are most encouraging. Carlhagena Gazelles to the 23d October have been also this day received. They contain dis. 'patches to the Government of Bogota, similar in ellfect to the above dispatches from the Panama Exlraordinats Gazelle. We have received this morning from Paris by Express the Eloile, dated yesterday, from which the following are extracts : ( Front the 1.70i1e, dated Wobreplay.) CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 12.—1 t does not7ap .Pear that Ghalib Pacha is entirely disgraced. His Harem went out a few days since from Constantinople, in great pomp, to join him. It is said that the offer made to Ibrahim Pacha to the Admiral of the Turkish fleets has been re l'usril by him. The Greeks have made a descent at Tchesme, and have pillaged the country and its environs. It is said that the Bosniacs have revolted against the Pacha, on account of the henry taxes imposed on them. Nov. 3.—Several Captains arrived lately from the Archipelago report that on the '27th Oct. the Greek fleet attacked that of the Turks be tween Scio and Mitylene. It is said the com bat lasted till Thursday, the 28th, at noon. The loss of the Greeks is not known. The Turks had a frigate and two brigs burnt; another frigate, pursued by four fire ships, run on the coast of Tchesme, when the crew burnt it. Most of the Turkish vessels took refuge in the port of Mitylene. A. division of eleven Mugulman vessels was separated trom the main body, and fled into the Gulp!) of Smyrna, but the Greeks who followed could not get to them. This requires confirmation ; letters from Smyrna does not make mention of it. Nov. 14.—A Greek vessel from Mitylene confirms this new disaster of the Ottoman fleet, announced yesterday. The Greeks have made a decent at. Troy, and have pillaged that island. Pauli, DEO. 1 5.--Further details of the hor rible disasters at St. Petersburg!), has been re. ceived. A whole regiment of Curabineers was lost, men and horses. A ship of 100 guns at Cronstadt entirely disappeared, and the stocks were carried away. MADRID, Dec. 7.—The day before yesterday being the birth-day of the Queen, all the Court presented their respects. The King, wishing to honour the Generals and Officers who command in Peru, has given them the following titles : To Joseph de Laserna the title of Count de los Andes and the G rand Cross of St. Ferdinand ; to Camerae and Valdes the Grand Cross of St. Ferdi nand; and Oluneta has been made a Major-Ge neral. It is asserted that the Count of Banadito, ancient King of Mexico, has been named Vice roy of Navare, and that Captain• General Casta aos will be Military Commandant of Catalonia. r HES:Cu F W RIS, Dr c:l4.—Frenelt Rentes opened ut 1 4 .12 f. 101 f. li6c. 90c. ; at half-past three o'clock, 102 f, RG fur the end of the month. We have received this morning Frankfort l'apers to the 10th instant. By an article from Christiania of the 23d ultimo, it appears that on the 18th, at seven o'clock, that city and its suburbs were inundated by the sudden rising of the waters of the Fiord to the unparal leled height of three ells above its usual level. The loss in cattle, sugar, coffee, salt, a nd tobacco, is immense ; and it is said tnat the water retired as suddenly as it had risen, and the sea fell touch below its or dinary level. The attention of the Swedish Go vernment, like that of several Governments of (vermany, is directed to its internal com merce, and a Committee, composed of ten %tubers, five of whom are Swedes, and five '-'rwegians, is soon to meet at Stockholm to re gulate the commercial intercourse between Sweden 4 " 11 Norway. The Attgemeine Zeitung of the 8111 instant, " i itaina air article from I b liu of the 29th ult., which states, that during the late visit of Sir t.r.t.tm CovGay.ve to that city, he concluded an agreement for lighting it . with gas. The. advantages which the English Company con nected with Sir Wir.t.tAm are likely to de. rive from this enterprize, seems to have ex cited not a little jealousy in the minds of the Prussians ; and the lead taken by English men in public undertakings throughout Ger many, is attributed by the Berlin writer to the circumstance " that in England all na tional interests are publicly discussed." It is undoubtedly true that our superiority in carry ing on great undertakings for the improvement and civilization of the age arises, in a great mea sure, from the searching inquiry and free discus sion of all public measures, by which their merits become universally known, and if deserving of encouragement, and holding out the prospect of fair remuneration, they are sure to find sup porters in this enterprising and wealthy country. It is not a little amusing to notice the iitforn a lion conveyed by the Daily Journals, as to the movements and designs of the British Cabinet. ft might be supposed, from the confidence with which some of them communicate their Wel& gencc, that they were hand and glove with tn , • of its Members. It is, however, rather mai 4 propos that there is a discrepancy in their comme nicaticms which renders it difficult for the Public to decide to which side the probability most inclines, and consequently the several reports, with what. ever zeal they may be advanced, are not likely to gain credit for any of the Journalists. One or two will have it that the late frequent meetings of the . Privy Council relate to the affairs of Ireland. — Others that they involve serious conede rations respecting the notorious ambition of the Emperor of Russf.s. Some, indeed, insinuate that the topics in question concern the reported intentions of Austria to interfere in the affairs of the Porte and the Greeks. We believe that other points of discussion are reported to have taken place in the Cabinet, and to have been the cause of its fre quent meetings. A 11 we can say on the subject is, to recommend the Public to rely on the informati n of their favourite Paper, till future operatioas shall demonstrate which comes nearest to the truth. Dovr.a, DEC. 15, 1824.—Arrived from Calais, his Majesty's packet Faiy, with the !tight lion. Lord STnANGronn, his Majesty's Ambassador from Constantinople.

WI Not EsTEtt C vrnuna A I. OnGkts . .- . --It appears that the Very Reverend the Dean of .Wisencs- TER, and a majority of the Chapter, have deter mined that this Organ shall be e-placed in its former situation on the north side of the choir.— From this decision the Prebendaries, who were in the minority, have appealed to the 13ishop of WINCHESTER, entreating his ,Lordship's internosi. don to prevent an act ,directly in opposition to their own wishes and to those of the Public, and contrary to the feelings of TnE LEARNED lit vistr, to whose classical taste the country is indebted for many beautiful restorations and improvements in this Cathedral. DEATH or Silt NVILLIAm La:max.—This re vered and worthy Member for the County of Cornwall breathed his last on Sunday afternoon, at his seat, Carclew, thus closing his honourable life in the midst of people wh o h ave , f or suc h a number of years, sent him as their representative to that assembly, of which he was emphatically styled the " Father." The lately-received'American Journals stop, that the venerable JOHN ADAM completed the 89th year of his age on the. 30th ,October last. The Ex.-President is described as being in good health. The Committee appointed by the subscribers for a monument to the memory of the late Earl of Hoek:Toll:4, have finally resolved to adopt the design of Mr. CAstenct.t.. The coMposition is highly talked of ; it is intended to represent the Noble Lord leaning on a horse, which we hear is to be in an attitude somewhat similar to that of RAEBURN'S celebrated picture. It is to be rum. -posed of bronze, and is to be executed at Rome. UNFoRTUNATE Acct GENT.--( Inn - chaster, Dec. 15, 18240—As P. S. Joie MILDMAY, ESq., M. P. for this City, was shooting on. Avington Manor, in company with the Duke of BUCKING HAM, his double-barrelled gun burst, and injured his left hand so much, that the thumb has been obliged to be taken off. It is hoped that he will lose no other part of it : he is as well as can be after so serious a misfortune. It was one of the weaknesses of Madame DE STAEOS mind to wish for the distinction of beauty. She had the folly to say, " she would give half her intellectual capacity for the power of interesting." In quest of a compliment, s h e once tried, when in company with TAW:YU-I.ND and u Lady of great beauty, to make him show a preference. But in vain she put such questions as she thought inevitable ; he parried all.

D., a married woman, living with her husband, at whose house Mr, Fauntleroy was constant daily and nightly visitor. In return for this accommodation, Mr. F. allowed the lady Soot. a year tbr pocket-money, besi4les presenting her an nuidly an East India Company's bond for 1,0001., to form a deposit or retiring fund for !qrs. whenever their intimacy might cease. A town and eountry-lansse were likewise kept, the latter at one time at Richmond, and at another at Crawley, at u charge to -Mr. Fauntleroy of 3001. per annum, which houses, to prevent disclosure, ; were taken in the name of the lady's husband. It further crime out at this investigation, that another most expensive establishment was kept up at Mr. Fuuntleroy's cost, including among other items two carriages, two boxes at the Opera-house, and that Mr. Fauntleroy was in the habit of paying the lady's Christmas bills for millinety, jewellery, besides the presents made her. The result of these investigations has been the recovery of several thousands (we hear 10,0001.) of the creditors' money ; and if the assignees persevere in the same train of inquiries in other quarters, there is littledoubt of a similar issue in favour of the estate,—( .

DItUIIY•LANE.—Tite Cabinet was repeated last night, and Mr. SAPIO again excited the applause of a. numerous audience by his general perform ance of Prince Orlando. The public appearance of this able Performer, is calculated to be very beneficial to those who devote themselves to vocal exertions in private, as his science and taste afford an admirable lesson. The new farce of ]l Uncle Gabriel followed. It is whim sical and diverting inherently, hut its popularity is chiefly owing to the general merit of the performers. COVENT•G A IMEN.—There seems to be an in. twin!' in both houses to run a race as to the comic 'opra of The Cabinet. • Mr. Siscr.Atit made his first appearance during the present sea son last night in the ,part of Prince Orlando, and was very well received.

It is observed in a Morning Paper, " Eu passant, that her situation is be• coming daily less equivocal, and her friends ought to take upon themselves the reconciling the contradictory reports which have been cur. rent for some time past relative to her mar. riage." 'We consitter this remark as an . necessary. The fact of the marriage is well known, as are also the domestic reasons for its concealment from the public. Her chit. racier, therefore, cannot suffer, whatever, her appearance may be, and her prudence must be admired for her sacrifice of pride, in order, by the exertion of her talents, to acquire a compe. tent provision for private life. The farce of !'he Duel, which followed, afforded much entertain. meat to the audience. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

MAIDSTONE, DEC. 14. The ‘Vinter Gaol Delivery commenced here to.day before the lion. Mr. Justice BIJUROUtIH and the lion. Mr. Baron GAnnow. Ten different persons were indicted and convicted for various acts of smuggling, or resistance to Excise Officers, and were sentenced to various terms of i m p r i sonment . One man (Re. tninglon) was transported for seven years. William Skinner and George Collins were indicted under the 57th Oeo. 111. c. 9, for being found, in the night of the 27th of November, in a wood belonging to Earl Thanet, in the parish of Ashford, with the intent to kill imme. Woodgate, gamekeeper to Lord Thanet, proved that between eight and nine in the evening of the 27th of No. vember, he was out to look after poachers. He heard the re port of a gun In Potter's Corner-wood, belonging to the Earl, and presently he saw two men come out of the wood, one of whom haul a gun. He attempted to seize the armed man, who immediately - felled him to the ground with n blow on the head front the but-end of the gun. Witness believed that the pri soners, whom he had known for three years before, were the men ; but he could not swear positively to their identity. Several other witnesses were examined, who proved that they saw the prisoner Skinner and another man near the spot in ques tion,- about the time spoken to by the gamekeeper. One witness was called to prove an alibi for Skinner. The case went to the Jury, under the Learned Judge's direc tion, and they found both prisoners —Nor Guilty.

Mu. En ITO 11-1 ti the great hall of the ancient castle of Montargis, a small town in the former province of Orleanois, there is a sculpture, in basso relievo, placed over the chimney-piece, which represents a large mastiff dog fighting against a man. Of this subject MO N TVAUCU N the celebrated antiquary of France, has given a representation in his learneil work.' The event which this sculptured monument is intended to perpetuate is recorded as follows in the Memoirs sur les Duels : As a gentleman of family and of fortune, Aubri de Mondidier by nan►e, was journeying, with -no other companion than an English blood I►ound, through the Forest of Bondy, he was assassinated and buried upon the spot. The faithful slog, who had alone witnessed the horrid deed, remained for several days upon the grave of his murdered master, from whence the cravings of hunger were aloue capable of removing him. He repaired to the house of a friend of the unfortunate Aubii at Paris; and there, by his mournful how lings, he seemed anxious to exj►ress then irreparable loss they had each of them sustained. His howlings were frequently repeated ; he would run to tP u door, and look back to see if any one was follow ing him. Upon finding that this, was not the case, he returned to his master's friend, often► pulled Mtn violently by the sleeve, and employed all his efforts to induce the gentleman to accom pany him. So singular a conduct could not fail to attract the notice of every one in the house. The cir cumstance of his coming alone, considering that he ever was -the inseparable companion of his master, at length induced some one of the family to humour the dog, and follow him whithersoever he intended to bring them. With unerring pre cision, the sagacious animal led them to the very spot where he knew that his master lay buried. There he renewed his howling, and by violently scratching the earth with his feet, plainly inti mated his wish that a search should be made in this particular spot. This was accordingly done, and soon the mangled remains of the murdered Aubri were brought before the eyes of his friends. His remains were properly interred, and the dog seemed for the present, however, perfectly sa tisfied. lint it happened, that not long after this he chanced to meet, and immediately recognized, the base assassin, who is said to have been a Chevalier Macaire. No sooner did the dog per. ceive him, than he seized him by the throat, and not until absolutely compelled by force slid he consent to quit hold of the man, who he knew to be the assassin of his beloved master. More than once did they meet after this, and whenever they did so meet, the animal, with no less fury, in variably pursued and a ttacked the guilty Chevalier. What effect this may have produced upon the mind of the criminal, we are left at a loss to con jecture, but this obstinate attack made by the dog upon him alone, could not but awaken the astonish ment of all those who witnessed it. To those who knew the remarkable attachment of the dog for his deceased master, and who had perceived, on more occasions than one, that Nlucaire felt nothing but envy and hatred for Aubri de Mon didier, this singular circumstance appeared snore singular still, and strange suspicions, highly un. favourable to the Chevalier, could not avoid be. ing entertained. Meanwhile, the assassin, undismayed by the attacks of a mere brute, and fully aware that no human being could come forward against him, stood his ground apparently without fear. lint many fresh discovered circumstances ►creating ad• ditional and stronger suspicions, the whole busi ness at length reached the ears of the reigning Monarch of France, Louis VIII. The King,de. sirous of witnessing the truth of w but he had heard, sent for the dog, who behaved with th., greatest possible gentleness; but no sooner did he perceive "%wake in the midst of several gen tlemen, than he began to growl, and rushed towards him, and attacked him in the usual manner. In those days the fate of arms decided upon the justice or the injustice of a cause. The King, greatly struck by this unaccountable enmity of the dug, and by all the mass of cireuntstantial evidence which had been amassed, resolved that the decision of this intricate and mysterious afnir should be left to Providence.

No sooner was the generous animal let loose, than he fearlessly rushed upon his adver. sa could exceed the skill and saga cltr. y y Nbi displayed otng by this novel champion during the whole of the combat. lie n hided round !kis adversary, threatening him on every aide, avoid. ed the blows that were aimed at him, till he con trived to exhaust the force of the chevalier. Then, with a growl of triumph, he sprung; forward upon his enemy, seized him Lay- the throat, and threw him upon the ground, and there held !din fast until he compelled him to confess his guilt, in presence of the court anti all the spectators, la consequence of his own confession he was con. demned to die, and a few days after expiated his crime upon the scaffold, near the spot where his fate had been decided ; whilst the dug received the caresses which his fidelity to his master; his courage and his prudence, so well deserved. A. r, _-- LAUGHTEIt.—The last production of the cele. brated Zeuxis was a picture or uu old woman. The infirmities of age, the lean, f orm , the florid eyes, the hanging cheek, the toothless! gums, the far obtruding chin, all were pourtray ed in such a strikingly ludicrous st de, that ' When ZEttxts drew back to contemplate this otrepripg of his imagination, he fell into such an itntoo. derate fit of laughter, that he is said to have ex pired upon the spot.
