P E It U. Tbe Argns of Buenos Ayres, from Jan. SG, to Feb. 19, inclusive, contains numerous articles relative to the t ictory.of the Columbian and Peruvian army over the Royalists both efficial and private. FEBRUARY 12. By an .express sent by the Governor of Salta, we have re .e.eived the two subjoined Proclamations of General Olaneta, which show that the author of them has the same obstinate and rough chaiacter as his countryman Ferdinand. ONICiRAL OLAWETA TO THE TROOPS OF THE ROYAL ARMT. PROCLAMATION . " Brave Soldiers—The army which assembled at Cazeo, shamefully laid down its arms at Quinuapata on the 9th of last swath ; and by a capitulation much more shameful, its Gene- Tabs have given up all the provinces as far as the Desagnadero. You will go and place yourselves at those limits which you marked with the sword, and your loyalty will repair the evil. Each - of you is a defender of Peru, and I salute you by that name. " When the Liberals penetrated into this country, with all the horrors of a desolating war, and the rage and ferocity which c h arac terize them, what prcofs of valour and intrepidity did you give ! The velocity with which you pursued the enemy of the altar and the throne, and the extraordinary hardships which you endured, and your rapid marches, excited general admira tion, and have gained you immortal glory. The series of tri umphs which rendered you for ever memorable, must Te.ani mate your minds for the last sacrifices, and to face death rather than fall with ignominy. Firm in your resolution to defend the Bing, will you fail at the most critical moment ? No-! 1 know your sentiments, your attachment to the just cause, and your vehement desires for the felicity of Peru. " You have hitherto fought heroically for -Dnn Ferdinand V11.,-unsubdued in calamity and distress ; and shall you yield, crowned with laurel and preceded by victory ? You were the first to proclaim the absolute King; and posterity, which hastens to contemplate you, will judge that, in spite of vicissi tudes, the honour of your name will live for ever without a stain. " Terrible are the evils you have endured ; but the firmness of your character, far from giving way in difficulties, has made you appear greater in the eyes of the world. Our brave com panions who have saved themselves from the misfortune will hasten to join as in arms, resolved to wipe away their disgrace. " Let us march, then, on the road to immortality, and main tain inviolate the Royal prerogative. If this great object is at tained, the grateful Monarch will gloriously reward his sub jects whose loyalty shall have prevented the ruin of these his do minions. Listen to the voice of honour and of justice, and you will gain the reward due to valour. " PEDRO ANTONIO OLANETA. " Oruro, Jan. 4, 1825. ANOTHER PROCLAMATION. . OP GEN'ERAL OLANETA TO THE PEOPLE OF PERU. The army of the North has been dispersed at Quinuapata by a treachery peculiar to those called Liberals. Not being able to accomplish the criminal project, their revenge has been to sacrifice the loyal men who for fourteen years have never yielded their arms to the enemy. As soon as they saw their com mander wounded and taken prisoner, they capitulated, deliver ing-up the army of Peru, the provinces as far as the Desagua dero, the fortress of Callao, and whatever their perfidy dic tated. It is difficult to believe in so much wickedness or weak ness; but facts too clearly prove it, and the crime is consum mated. Is, therefore, the King's cause desperate in Peru ? No: it has honourable defenders to support it—armies, vast re sources, and valour. Little reverses do not discourage mag nanilnous minds. Let us hasten to seek danger, and the triumph will be ours: Major-General Don Pio Tristan has taken the command; he has already above 5,000 men,which,with my army, will save Peru. If by an unexpected accident he also enters into the capitulation, the troops who have retreated, knowing the treason of their Generals, and all good men, united to the valiant soldiers who accompany me, will die to maintain the rights of the King in this part of the Spanish monarchy, rather than give up our armies to the enemy. Firm in this oath, they already march to commence their operations, confiding in their discipline, valour, and perseverance; but, above all, on Divine Providence, which never abandoned the defenders of ' their relivion, and those who were faithful to their. King, Don Feulinand VII. People of Peru, my calumniators have already vindicated .roe irr , the face of the world ; it will sAmerve my conduct, which has always been in the path of duty. " Long experience has shown you the terrible consequences of anarchy. Remain quiet, while the army exerts itself for your -aafety. Do not tear the event, which will he favourable. " PEDRO ANTONIO DE OLANETA. Head-quarters at Oruro, Jan. 1, 1825.- THE FINE ARTS. FOR THE SUN. ETJITOR—The• British School is so very ric;) in living genius that even the slender and precarious hope finding a place in the National Gallery for a single British PiCture has been sufficient to call forth art extraordinary dis play of exertion. The Exhibition at the British Gallery, this year, was the best ever offered to public inspection by that me ritorious Institution. The Exhibition of the Royal Academy is also the beSt I ever recollect to have seen at Somerset House. Hilton's grand picture of Christ crowned with - Thorns has fulfilled all the expectations excited by his early Essays.— Tlie. invention, composition, and colouring, are excellent, and 6 . .4 depth and grandeur of the whole possess an astonishing poiver of - impression. The magnitude of this picture fits it for spnlilic building, and its merits entitle it to a place in the Metropolitan Cathedral. The . Directors of the British Insti. tution, who, in 1812, set a noble example to the country by t'iot 'purchase of Mr. West's Christ's Healinv. the Sick, hive wizh the' same active munificence purchased' this triumphant specimen of the public style at the price of ov.p thlascr2q guineas. This well-timed act of good taste atrd patriotismhas prevented the ill consequences which iztust have resulted:from the return of so great and success ful performance of the British pencil, from the annual Ex hibition tenvdd.' The fashionable - commentators, who have falienitito the error of supposing that there exists independ ently-of the British Institution, a patronage for - the public style are. here answered. The Directors hive pUrchased Mr. flit via's picture, with a clear conviction that there is no demand nor taste in this cruntryfor the purchase of compositions on so liege a Scale. The great end of that association is to supply the wool of that patronage, and to raise the works of British genius of:Value anti estimation by duly rewarding the highest exertions rir'tlie liVing Artists. They have nobly - done so in this instance, aed have again refuted:the fashionable cavillers at their pro ,:.'etmiiriga. If they have not been able in twenty "years . to Over came the anti-historical spirit engendered by the exclusioni of paintings from Churches,.and to create a field, or even an tnlera, isle chance.of a purchaser for such a wonderful exertion as ilr. Ifilton'a Christ crowned - With thorns, they have saved ; the Go• v7ramehf and the country from thedisgrace of its being returned• ar. a rejected and unmarketable commodity on the Painter's bands. gitt:ive must not infer froM their liberality a poWer beyond their 'limited means. la the dometic. style, the-Marquis of Stailbrd has, with his ac customed liberality, purchased Danby'S sublime picture of the Firs - elites delivered from _Egypt, at the price of five hundred gu i nea s I shall in mynexCeortnunnication offer some. re marks o n -the materials of thiS design, and on Etty's impired r r aorposllion, woman inteteedinglar the vanquished, a picture which,..iri.itti class, Ma* boldly be placed in . competition with the Most-Celebrated productions °tithe schooli. • • Mar 6th, 1825. • EVELYN, JUN-. " P.M.—ln my last for hNtotical.connoisseur7 read histo rical cemmisreon," and for "forsook" read,";forsooth:" ' , The LORD CILANCZT,LOR had just left the Court of Chancery, on Saturday afternoon, and accompanied-by Lad; Eldon, was proceeding home, when just as he passed Qreen s Family Hotel, in Lincoln's-inn-tields, the hind axletret broke in two, one of the wheels flew off to some distance, and the carriage came to the ground with a tremendous crash. His Lordship and Lady were extricated by soinecgentlemen who were passing, and apparently without any injury except the fright. Having recovered their alarm in about ten minutes, they walked away arm in arm, leaving the carriage behind them on the gFound. On Saturday morning, between one and twos the Metropolis wag visited with loud claps of thunder and vivid lightning, which continue& at intervals for half an hour. By arrivals in London -on Saturday, of the different morning coaches, it appears that within 40 miles of London the same visitation wait experienced, followed by a great quantity of rain. A melancholy accident happened at Swindon on Tuesday last. As the driver of the New Post Coach was in the act, of stopping the coach at the idp" of Swindon Hill, to leek' the wheel, the pole broke,'and the horses began kicking, and overturned the coach, whereby Capt. Mayness, of the Navy, of Wootton Bassett, an . outside passenger, was so dreadfully hurt by the coach falling on tarn, that he die?, thesame night. "Another passengeg was injured; but is The inside passengers were not hurt. The fore-carriage separated from the body of the coach, and the horses ran at full speed for upwards of half a mile, when they became entangled, and one of them broke his leg, and it was found necessary to have the b poor animal killed immediately. THE ARMY. The Ist R?giment of Dragoon Guards commenced its march on Friday morning, from Newcastle, for St. Alban's. The last squadron of .the.sth Dragoon Guards has arrived at Portpatrick, from Ireland, on its route to Glasgow.

It may he seem by the summary of the weather that there have been twenty-three remarkably fine days this month, which for April is an' unusual occurrence. • The winds too have been ge nerally light, and tolerably equal in duration from the eightdi visions of the compass. From their quick variations, the baro inat,2r spewed thirty-one changes in the thirty days; but the ag gregate of the spaces described by the• fluctuation of the quick silver, is comparatively small for April. The mean temperature of this mim t h i s four and a half degrees higher than that of AP; 11 , 182-i, and two arid a half degrees higher than the mean of that montlVfor a series of years ; and from the dryness of the air and uninterrupted sunshine, spring water came to its mini mum temperature a fortnight before the usual time: Since the mild showers of rain set in, both the young wheats and the gr ass l an d s hi ve b een mu ch b e nefited, and now they have a fine verdant appearance. Vegetation is very forward for the season, as no injurious- frosts have happe ned this month, the coldest night being on the first, when the thermometer sank Within two degrees of the freezing point. The awallowsmade their first appearance here on the morn ing of the 13th. For some years past but few swallows have returned to this neighbourhood in .the spring, notwithstanding the great numbers that have migrated at the close of .the sum mer months.

Let ters.from Brussels give an account of a -formid able insurrection by the Burmese; the date, how ever, does not enable us to state whether these accounts refer to events prior or subsequent to the victory of Sir A.

We select the following extracts " The American ship Galen, which has arrived in the Texel from Batavia, after a passage of NO days, brings news, that a few days before it left Batavia an expedition of 1,200 men, commanded by General 'Van Geen, had sailed from that port to Macassar. • " Letters from Augsburg, Inspruck, and Munich, confirm the news of an important victory gained by the Greeks over Ibrahim Pacha, whose expedition has totally failed. Ile has embarked his troops, which have been repulsed in all points, back to Modon. " Letters from Constantinople of the 15th March have been received at Leghorn : the following are their contents:— " The latest accounts received here from Tauris, in Persia, by extraordinary couriers, announce that the insurrection against the English, which has broken out in the North of India, has become so serious that the latter have experienced numerous losses of every kind, and are in danger of losing a great part of their finest possessions in that country. The whole country of the Birmans,with a population of 16 millions,was in insurrection and the reinforcements of all kinds which they had received from Cochin China, insured in a manner the success of their revolution. Things have come to such a pitch that thousands of Merchants and rich individuals were returning to Calcutta, and were making preparations to depart for Europe. This accounts for the immense purchases of silk and cotton which have been made and will yet be made this year in the Levant for English account. We may expect that the silk of the Levant of the new crop will be bought up at high prices. An English house bought up last week all the silk that it could find in Constanti. nople and the environs : these large purchases began the day after the arrival of an express sent here from London.—(Brus- sels Papers, May 7.)

" PARIS, MAY 6. " The reception. of Sidi Alahmoud, Envoy of the Bey of Tunis,took place, to-dayat the Hotel of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. M. the Baron had taken his place in the Hall of the Ambassadors, having with him about 30 persons whom he had invited,-Peers.of France, Deputies, Generals, and Superior Officers, both of the army and navy, all in state uniforms.— When the Enfoy, was announced, every body rose, the Mini ster alone remained sitting and covered.. His Excellency saluted the Envoy with his hand, and invited him to take a seat. Sidi Alahmoud then delivered to the Minister a letter from the Bey, addressing to him a speech in Arabic, which was explained by an interpreter. Soon after diplomatic etiquette was succeeded by.a less ceremonious tone, and the Envoy being asked how he liked France, he replied, On my landing at.

New Brunswick Papers have arrived to the Ist April, but do not contain any information worthy of notice. A few days ago we gave an Abstract of the Bill now pending in . Parliament for the Regula-' tion - of Joint Stock Companies. The Loam CHANCELLOR, in the early part of the Session, promised to bring forward some measure on the subject, but has hitherto left his promise unful filled. The Bill we speak of goes to repeal the whole of the 6 Geo. 1. c.lB. that relates to the esta-, blishment of Joint Stock Companies, and makes - the original promoters of a scheme liable to the pur chasers of shares for a limited time after it is throwtt on the mat ket. The punishment of apnernunire is abolished, and heavy penalties imposed instead.. We do not complain of the provisions of the Bill, but we complain that whilst its repealing clause.' is so large, its enacting clauses do not come up to the extended operation of the 6 Ge0..1., for that Act not only made all Joint Stock Corn.; patties with transferrable Shares illegal, but pro-.. bibited under a severe punishment the pretend..., ing to act as a Corporate Body, either under Charter at all, or with a Charter not adequate toy the assumed powers, or with a Charter that. had: . • fallen into disuse. All these are objects that require. - legislative regulations, such as now exist in the statute-book, and we see no reason %%by they Should' be taken a way without,at all events, restraining-the evil by new penal enactments. The 18th section of the 6th Geo. 1. c. 18. may perhaps he injurious, by restraining • the clubbing together of small sums of Money to form one grand sum' for the prosecution of any grand undertaking, and. may also be. open to some objections on account of the generality of the wording of the 18th section,„ and also on Account of the punishment awarded for a breach of its regulations. When, •hOwever, • we consider the object against which the .whole force of the section is directed, we shall find that. the 'objection on the ground of generality ig greatly subdued, for the want of words of a more particular nature which would be in any degree' adequate to reach the evil, and as to the nattire. of the punishment by prwmunire, that (although now obsolete) is perfectly consistent with' the genius of the English Law when directed againo' , the mischievous practices recited in the pre amble to the section. Those practices are clearly offences injurious to the King's prerogative,Ana.: to the commission of which the punishment by prwmttnire is in a great number of instances an nexed by the old law. The promoter of this Bill does not seem to be aware that by special Act Of Parliament, in the 14 G. - 11. chapter 37, the 6 Geo. 1. c. 18,. was extended to the • Atnericao-- Colonies. As the new Bill now stands, it w ould' raise a doubt whether the 6 Geo. I. C. 18, " 9 left in force in those Colonies, or whether it way repealed both there, and in this countrY; at : all events, a: clause explanatory oir the point wou ld! be • desirable, -together with mother that 'should reach the evil restrained by the old : law, and left untouched untouched by the, new one .

THE BISHOP of OXFOIIO.—We-have received a letter on the subject of an unlucky impromptu that. appeared in THE.SUN of Saturday' on the supposed death of-tile ,Bishop of DURHAM'. - letter characterises the article as " a gross will* indecent libel on a most virtuous and exemplar y Prelate, a n d says- -1 that its admission is.so dis" - graceful to the Paper as to render it - esientia l , for the reputation and welfare of THE Suri, that it should be relieved - from the odium, at least, 01 , having originated so foul and ma lignant atalumnP • These are very -hard terms, and may perhaps be. deserved, and we trust the Right Reverend Pre' late, who has been the occasion of them, will See/. in our willingness to publish them, how littl e . -we thought of reflecting on his character, 01 ; impugning his conduct.
