FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FALL OF LIMA. By the Good Intent, arrived in the Downs, letters and papers to the sth September have been received from Buenos Ayres, communicat ing the important intellivnce of the fall of Lima. The following bulletin is given as published at Buenos Ayres, on the arrival of the news. It also contains advices of the defeat of CARRERA, near Mendoza, on the 24th August, an event of much consequence to the welfare of Buenos Ayres itself : " VIVA LA PATRIA! " Citizens, though the Government have not yet received an official account of the entrance of General San - Martin into the capital of Peru, they hasten to announce it to you as certain, on the following statement : " LETTER FROM A RESPECTABLE ENGLISH RESIDENT IN SANTIAGO DE CHILI, TO ANOTHER IN THIS CITY. " Santiaga, Aug. 13, One &Clock. " My dear Friend, —The glorious news of the fall of Lima has just arrived. The Monte z ima has come into port with the official account that General San Martin has entered Lima by force of arms.—Give Games 150 dollars if he should be the first to bring' the news.' " The bearer of the preceding letter is D. F. Games, who was in the valley of La Aconcagua, laying in provisions for passing the Cordilleras, and conveying to Mendoza arms and money for the Government of Chili, when the intelligence arrived there of the occupation of Lima by the liberating army, and was celebrated by salutes of cannon and other rejoicings. Games relates that he immediately repaired to the house of the Governor of the town of La Aconcagua, obtained a copy of the dispatch, and undertook the pas sage of the Cordilleras ; that from a consider able height he saw that a man on the declivity, with a white flag, was making a signal to him to descend, and that as lie would- not venture to de scend, the man with the white flag, who proved to be an English gentleman, came up to him and delivered the said letter, confirming the news. Games left the copy of the dispatch which he took at La Aconcagua in the hands of the Go vernor of Mendoza. " The glorious war of our independence is, after eleven years, thus finally terminated. The immense and fertile territories which extended from the Rio de la Plata to the Orinoco are now independent in fact and in right ; and there re main in them nothing more of tyranny, except its ruins. They will be happy—for so the Great Being who governs the destiny of nations, and who, after three centuries of opprobrium, oppres .sion, and slavery, has looked with eyes of com passion on America, has decreed they shall be." ANOTHER IMPORTANT PIECE of INTELLIGENCE. " The same Games says, that at the time of his passage the troops which had left Mendoza against Carrera, were at nine leagues distance from their camp, and that afterwards the news reached him on the road, that on the 24th of August he had been routed and obliged to fly with precipitation—that he himself saw the letter which the Commander-in-Chief had sent to La 'Rioja by way of precaution, least Carrera should take refuge in that town. " Far from us be barbarous despotism, folly, and licentious anarchy, in order that true liberty may be established on the first foundations of liberty and justice." To the information contained in the bulletin, we subjoin extracts from private letters, received at the same time : " BUENOS AYRES, SEPT. 2.—1 have hardly time to acquaint you with the glorious news of tha capture of Lima by General San Martin. " The official accounts are not yet arrived, in consequence of a heavy fall of snow in the Andes just after the express had passed. " The capture of Lima by force of arms being announced, may create some alarm to parties interested in that city ; it ought, however, to be observed, that Lima is not a fortress likely to be taken by assault; but that it is much more probable that the obstinacy of the Spanish Au thorities forced General San Martin to approach Lima, when a last attempt would be made by the troops remaining under the banners/ of the Viceroy, to repel the Chilian army ; this having failed, the latter would march into the city with out resistance, and without a previous capitula tion. It is, however, to be hoped that strict discipline was observed, as the great mass of the population of Lima would receive the Chilians as friends and liberators ; and as it always had been the object of the Government Of Chili, and of General San Martin, to preserve Lima from a violent transition to independence, and from the commotions 'attendant on a temporary suspension of law and police, in a town in which the lower classes are dreaded by the wealthy." " BUENOS AYRES, SEPT. 4.—On the 2d instant we received the important intelligence of the capture of Lima, by the forces of General San Martin, by a letter from Santiago de Chili, dated 13th August ; and although the details have not yet arrived, still no doubt is, entertained of the fact, from the previous well-known distressed state they were in from want of provisions, the divisions that existed, and from San Martin having refused to prolong the armistice. The official details are hourly expected ; the Mary 'will sail for Liverpool in the course of the week, and by that time we probably shall have the fullest information." The following extract from a Buenos Ayres Gazette of the 29th of August conveys some in teresting details of the previous state of Lima, which acquire additional value, in the absence of the official account, from the increased probabi lity they give to its actual surrender. In a question involving commercial interests of such high importance, too much caution cannot be ex ercised in forming a correct judgment of the real situation of affairs : " Santiago de Chili, July 17.—1 n consequence of the arrival of the linglish frigate commanded by Captain Spencer at Valparaiso, we learn by an extraordinary courier, who arrived here on the 156, at seven at night, the following news, which is confirmed by the papers published at Lima, and by private letters, viz.—That by virtue of the Armistice concluded between tha Viceroy Lacerna and General San Martin, prolonged for nine days more; the former proposes to the latter that all the towns which are now in the power of the army of Chili shall remain under the com mand of General San Martin ; that Lima shall continue in its present situation without any change in its government ; that both parties shall name their respective Deputies, who shall pro ceed to Spain to obtain the ratification of independence, for which purpose there shall be an amnesty for the space of eighteen months, reckoning from the date of its conclusion ; the fortress of Callao, of which San Martin's forces have obtained possession, remaining a pledge until the return of the said deputies ; trade and communications to be in the meantime free. That San Martin, who did not agree to these propositions, demanded the surrender of the capital, upon which being done, he would allow a free communication, and wait for the de termination of the deputies who were to go to Spain ; that during the time of the negociations, San Martin had permitted the necessary provisions to enter Lima; that his troops were advancing from some points which they occupied upon the capital, with the design of besieging it more closely.—The public papers of Lima which I have seen in the house of Col. Pereira contain a representation from the Secular Chapter to the Viceroy, describing the evils with which the capital is threatened by the destructive war carrying on. It dwells on the devastation of the country to the extent of 9.5 leagues in circumfe rence ; the division of public opinion ; the dis content of the natives in consequence of the scar city of provisions ; and the necessity of coming to an understanding with the besieging force, by which alone his Excellency could preserve his authority. The result of this representation is not known. There is also in these papers a let ter signed by a military officer, pointing out to Lacerna the resources of which he might avail himself, and stating plans of defence. The writer calls loudly for the combat, and instigates to a vigorous resistance. What may have been done in consequence of this energetic exposition is not yet known.—According to 'the letter of Guido, which I have seen, written on board the frigate Cleopatra, in Callao, where the deputies of both parties are assembled, L.K. says that they would resort again to arms, but that Lima must surren der in consequence of the division among the au thorities, the discontent of the natives, the forces with which it is surrounded, and its being deprived of all support. I). Q. E. who also writes from Callao to the English commander, states that Lacerna bad assured him, in the vessel in which he then was, that in consequence of the divi sions in Lima, and the want of aid, no other resource was left but that of making an arrange ment beneficial to both the contending parties.— , The Captain of the English frigate arrived at Valparaiso further adds, that the longest period which Lima can hold out is one month, or at most two, for the people proclaim their dissatisfaction, the military chiefs are divided, and the troops of Lima are daily deserting to the invading army." (Extracts from the German and other Papers.) ILtouE, Nov. 10.—From accounts officially communicated it appears, that in general the Cholera Morbus, in the Island of Java, was di minishing very considerably. From the Reports received from some of the Residencies it is to be observed, that many persons have been recovered by a timely use of what is called the Cholera Mixture, consisting of brandy, laudanum, and oil of peppermint ; and in consequence thousands of the natives have eagerly applied to the local authorities for this remedy.

The Order of the Day was the debate on the project of law for the apportioning of the Land Tax, the duty on Household Furniture, &c. among the different provinces of the kingdom. The only Member who spoke on this occasion was Mr. Wernouck, of Antwerp, who, in giving his assent to the measure proposed, took the op portunity of Oserving, that however the Members may differ on some points, it is only with respect to the best means of promoting the happiness of the country, all being animated with the same zeal to increase its prosperity. Can such diffe rences be a reason to breed hatred and alienation between us ? Rather let concord and reciprocal esteem draw closer the ties which unite us. Let a frank and enlightened controversy be no more considered as hostile to the Government, but on the contrary, as the greatest service that can be rendered it. Then, and not before, we may co operate constantly and efficaciously with his Ma jesty towards the prosperity of our common coun try, and answer in some measure the expectation of our constituents. The honourable Member, in giving his assent to the project, expressed a hope that the speedy completion of the CadastrZ., or Survey of the Kingdom, would enable the Government to form a plan for remedying the de fects of the present system, by which some pro vinces had a larger - proportion to pay than they ought to have.—The Project of Law was then adopted unanimously. _FLUSHING, Nov. B.—The French brig Les pezex Eugenics, Captain J. 13. Grisel , houn d from Malaga td Dunkirk, with fruit and sumac, has arrived in our roads and cast anchor off he Zuiduater ing, there to perform quarantine, he had lost three anchors in a storm off bunkiek. There are no sick on board. We suppose that this is the vessel which, according to the Ghent Jour nal (and other Papers) was refused admittance at Dunkirk. ROME, OCT. 20.—Mr. Cascelli, Commandant of Naples during the revolutionary period, has been arrested here, on the application of his Si cilian Majesty. Ile had lived for some mouths quite retired in a house in the Via Ferentina, whence he was conveyed to the Castle of St. Angelo, to be taken to Naples, under the escort of an Inspector of the Police. It is said that papers and letters of great importance were found in his possession. The Austrian General, Fitzgerald, lately passed through here on his way to Moravia, and several detachments of troops returning to Austria, which, it is said, will be replaced by fresh de tachments. Many persons have been carried off this autumn by apoplexy; among them is the celebrated Advocate Fenetti, and the English Vice-Consul at Ancona, &c. The son of Lucien Buonaparte will marry the daughter of Joseph Buonaparte, with a portion of 300,000 scudi. Same Date.—The Papal Government has been induced, bythe representation made to it, to restore to Ancona and Civita Vecchia, the privi- leges of free ports for foreign silk and woollen manufactures, which were lately withdrawn, with a view to favour the national manufactures. The aovernment has perceived that such restrictions do not promote industry, but injure commerce. NAPLES, Oc•r. 18.—Legal proceedings are carrying on with great diligence for the trial of Silvati and Morelli, the two authorS of the re volt at Monteforte, in 1820, who were lately, taken disguised as Greeks. It is said that negociations are on foot with the Austrian Government to get the Austrian Army of Occupation reduced next year to 25,000 men, and instead of them our Government would then take some Swiss regiments into pay, as it has done in former times. VIENNA, Nov. 2.—We have accounts here from Constantinople to the nth of October. — The city was tolerably tranquil ; only excesses were feared from the Asiatic troops, more espe daily those in the remote quarters of the city.— The Greeks daily lose more and more of their old privileges, and are gradually sinking into a state of complete slavery. On the 26th of Sep tember they were prohibited from keeping any Franks in their service ; and a few days ago, the ancient ordinances were renewed.respecting the colour of their houses, their dress, &c.— The Divan has given Orders to assemble an army of 60,000 men on the plains of Saphia, to observe and check the Servians. The Pacha of Syria has sent word to the Porte, that the mis understanding between the Turks and the Princes of the Druses have been amicably adjusted. The plague rages in Asia Minor. It seems that very little is known at Constantinople respecting the affairs of the Peloponnesus ; the most satisfac tory accounts, however, have been received re specting the Turkish fleet. The different land ings were effected with entire success. The state of health at Constantinople was satisfactory. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 21. Consternation has prevailed for some days past in this capital. The disasters which the Turkish troops have lately experienced from the Morea to Larissa, are talked off in public. It is ascertained that they have been completely defeated by the Greeks, and Ali Pacha, who has ultimately made common cause with them. Two Pachas have been killed, and a third, it is added, is severely wounded. Since this late success of the Greeks it is thought the retaliation has been terrible. Their forces have been considerably augmented ; they have defeated our corps. There never was a more dreadful or more obstinate engagement ; the combat lasted for nine days without inter ruption. The success was decided by Antar, the Commandant of the Greeks of Thessaly, the country of Ali Pacha. The latter has got rid of the blockade, and fights with all the rage of despair and revenge which the death of his two sons excited in him. The uneasiness is general here ; the Turks are reinforcing their armies. The success of the Greeks is a signal event, and forms a new era in history. OCT. 22.—The arrival of Captain Bergamine with the Russian flag, has given great pleasure to the Porte and the people. Inferences favourable to peace were immediately deduced from R.-- There could not be a more seasonable diversion to the terrible accounts from Albania. It is doubtless to divert the minds of the people that a report has been circulated this morning, that the Turkish fleet had relieved the squadron of the Capitan Bey, in the Gulf of Lepanto, from block ade, and that it had captured twenty of the Greek vessels, some say fifty. The Idriots and Ipsariots, it is added, have returned to their har bours, and propositions have been made for an accommodation, although the Porte at first for mally refused to listen to them. LONDON AND GLASGOW MAIL.—We under stand that the following are the new arrange ments :—The coach which leaves London at eight o'clock in the evening is to arrive in Glas gow at three-quarters past eleven on the second night. Thus the coach now on its way, which left London last night, is expected to a rr i v e here to-morrow night at the hour we have mentioned. The Edinburgh night coach is also to arrive earlier, so that both the mails from London and Edinburgh may be dispatched at half past four for Ayr, Greenock, &c.The coach for Lon don departs from this at ,six o'clock in the e: en ing, but the mail bags are to be closed at five. There is to be no alteration in the time of de livering the morning letters from our office, the present hours being found sufficiently early.— (Glasgow Paper, Nov, 13.) fIEBDOMADARY !

Is DICLE.L FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1821. The fall of Lima, which appears at length to have taken place, is an event that has too often been predicted to excite any surprise. The dis tracted state of Old Spain, which prevented the Government of that country from adopting pro per measures in order to conciliate the revolted Colonies, and the increasing prevalence of re publican principles -in those Colonies, precluded all hopes of crushing the insurrection. We have often animadverted on the folly of the Mother Country in supposing that it could ever subdue the Insurgents by coercive measures. The example of the United States of America in throwing off their allegiance to the British Monarch presented a lesson to mankind, by which Old Spain ought to have profited. We have often said, that it was the true and only wise policy of Spain to yield to the inevitable course of events, and to endeavour to establish a commercial intercourse with her revolted Colonies, for which the iden, UV of language, the similarity of habits, and old feelings of former attachment, might have given her decided advantages. But all further resist ance is now at an end, and if the Cortes of Spain, for it is folly to talk of the power of the Sove reign, are really gifted with political wisdom and foresight, they will now adopt , the policy which common sense and experience have long recom mended as the only probable remedy for the evil. The Right Honourable the Earl of NORTIIESK, K. C. 8., the only Admiral Commanding a Divi sion of the Fleet at the Battle of Trafalgar, we are assured, has been appointed the Rear-Admiral of England. [Extract of a Letter from Philadelphia, Oct. 19.] " The Junius is arrived from Rio Janeiro, where she left the General Brown, who had ar rived from Callao (Lima) on the 16th August, with 72 passengers. The Ex-Viceroy was one of them, and reports that General SAN MARTIN was at Pisco with 10,000 men under arms. The General Brown was convoyed from Callao by the Constellation frigate." [Extract of a Letter from Savannah, Oct. 16.1 C 5 The Concordat is arrived here from Havan nah. The Captain informs, that the trade of robbery is continued in the neighbourhood of Cuba in the most open manner ; the brig George, from Boston, was plundered near the Havannah by row-boats of 530 doubloons ; these boats, after committing their robberies, return into the harbour and openly dispose of their booty." [Extract of a Letter from Valparaiso, July 18.] " The war in Peru is still going on, and all eyes are now open, in hopes of seeing the termi nation of this campaign. The latest intelligence from the head-quarters of General SAN MARTIN left that General and the temporary Viceroy treating for peace or capitulation, and we mo mentarily expect to hear the result of their con ference, which will no doubt be favourable to neutral commerce." [Extract of a Letter from New York, Oct. 18.] 44 It is reported that an English vessel from Jamaica, having on board a company of per formers, with their musicians and instruments, in passing the west of Cuba was approached by a piratical cruiser, whereupon the band struck up a martial tune, and the Buccaneers immediately tacked ship and fled, supposing they were getting alongside a vessel of war." The state of the metropolis, in a great degree owing to the want of a more efficient Police, is truly deplorable, and demands particular atten tion and rigorous measures on the part of Go vernment. Never were crimes perpetrated with more audacity than at the present moment. The streets abound with robbers, who attempt their depredations in the most open places and at noon day. A gentleman who came to our office on Thursday morning, had his coat cut in the attempt to empty his vocket,but not succeeding, the fellow walked away with apparent indifference. Bat these plunderers herd in gangs, and are always at hand to assist each other by most daring at.; tacks on those who attempt to take them into custody. A few evenings ago, a Gentleman named LOADER, who was passing along Gray's Inn= lane, was knocked down, and the via*, because he made some resistance, when he arose, endea voured to cut his throat with a l'arge knife, and, but for the thickness of his cravat, would have effected his horrible purpose. Mr. LOADER'S handkerchief wag cut through, and a slight incision was made on his neck. The robber succeeded in taking a valuable gold watch, and doubtless had confederates at band, who would have pro ceeded to greater violence if more resistance had been opposed to their ferocious leader. We have taken particular notice of the admirable pam phlet lately published by Mr. MAINWARING, on the present inadequate and defective state of the Police, and we should make further extracts from that useful work this day, if we were not prevented by the pressure of various matter, which obliges us to defer many contributions from valuable Correspondents ; but the subject is of the utmost importance, and we shall there fore take the first opportunity to renew our at tention to it. In the mean time, we earnestly exhort Government to consider the lamentable state to which the Metropolis is reduced, which calls for the utmost vigilance and vigour. Never did vice of every description exert itself with more desperate audacity ; immorality seems to be daily gaining ground, and threatens to cor rupt the lower orders of the people, to make crimes of all kinds familiar, and to render our streets in the day, and our houses in the night, wholly insecure from bands of the most furious and barbarous ruffians. No false lenity ought to prevail in the treatment of these ruffians, and the laws of the country ought to be put in force, and strengthened by measures of signal exemplary justice. By advices from Santiago de Chili of the Sth of August, received at Lloyd's, it appears that by a decision of the Admiralty Court of Valpa raiso, the ships Lord Suffield and Edward El lice, with their cargoes, have been restored to their owners. Letters from Havannah, dated Oct. 5, mention, that Mexico and Vera Cruz had refused to ac cede to the late treaty entered into by ITURBIDIE.:7 and sanctioned by the new Viceroy, O'DoNoJ They add, that fresh dissentions had broken out among the Independents. The Junta of Representatives of Buenos Ayres passed a decree on the 21st of ATi ' ust, directing that a new tariff, to operate from the beginning - of the year 1822, shall be published as speedily as possible, and making in the mean time certain re gulations on the custom-house duties. Among these is one which provides that the import duties shall in the mean time remain as in a former tariff but afterwards exceptions are made to the fol lowing effect, viz. :—Spirits to pay 72 dollars per pipe of six barrels, provided the strength does not exceed 24 degrees, increasing the duty in proportion to the strength of the spirit; wine/ 42 dollars ; vinegar, 30 ; tobacco of Paraguay' 2 dollars per arroba ; black or coloured tobacco of Brazil, and other foreign tobacco, 4 dollars the arroba ; sugar, 1 dollar. The followiag articles are exempted from every kind of dal , viz.: gums, wool, hair, and dying-stuffs, for the manufacture of hats : molasses and honey for the manufacture of spirits; and all kinds of utensil ; and machines used in the manufactures of th e , country. The articles which do not pay gene ra ' duties are also exempted from those which relate to the foreign branches. Silver in specie pays O n exportation 3 per cent. If in bullion or work e, 4 per cent. Gold in specie pays 1 per cent. • in bullion, or worked, 2. By the arrival of the ship Middleburg, off Pl' mouth, from China and Batavia, which latter plac e she left on the 27th of July, letters have been received in town of the most melancholy descrir tion. They state that no less than seventee n thousand of the inhabitants had been carried 06 by the cholera morbus. The rice crop had failed , and in consequence the Government had. prohi bited all exportation. Its price on board 04 was 2 7,,and on shore 21-1. The coffee crop wag very abundant, but from the dreadful malady now raging, a want of hands was experienced to pick it. Yesterday an Austrian Messenger arrived at Chandos House with dispatches for his Highness Prince ESTERHAZY. He came by way of Pa" foyer, being charged with dispatches from the Court of Vienna for Prince METTERNicn. Th e dispatches for Prince EsTERHAZY were pester' day afternoon forwarded to his Highness at Ramsgate. The Austrian Messenger who arrived yest er i day, brought letters from Count Li EVEN , on e which announces that his Excellency and th e Countess will arrive at their residence in Hader . street on Wednesday next. His MAJESTY, while on board the Royal Yac, a off the Hill of Howth, gave a gold medal to eatc,e of the officers, and a silver one to each of tt:a crew, on his birth-day, and distributed them I person.
