The French Paper: of Thursday and Friday, Brussels Papers to Thursday last, Hamburgh Journals to the Ist instant, and Madrid Papers to the '27th ult., have arrived since our last. — They contain a variety of important intelligence, which will be found in our preceding columns. The condition of Spain is very alarming, and the ac counts from that country give us every reason to dread that a civil war is on the point of breaking t. out. The Official Gazette of the Government of Independent Lima contains the Act , of the United Congress, declaring the independence of Peru from Spanish and all other , foreign domi nion to be established by the general will.—The following is the rectified copy of the Act : " In the City of the Kings of Peru, on the 15th of duly, 1821. " Bring assembled in our Most Excellent Council of the City, the Members thereof, together with the Archbishop cf this Holy Metropolitan Church, the Prelates of the religious Convents, the various Spanish Noblemen, and other inhabi tants of this capital, with the intention of carrying into effect the contents of an official note of his Excellency the General in Chief of the Liberating Army of Peru, Dun . Jose de San Martin, dated yesterday, having been read, and the substance having been submitted to persons of known probity, informa tion, and patriotism, inhabiting' this capital, in order that they might e!eclarc whether the general opinion was decided for independence, the vote , vf which would serve as a guide to the said General to proceed to administer the oaths : all the Senores assembled agreeing in one opinion, and being satis fied respectieg the sentiments of all the inhabitants of the capital, have declared :—That the general will is decided for the independence of Peril front Spanish and all other foreign dominion—Arid they then proceeded to give their sanction by an appropriate oath. " (A number of Signatures follow.) BOSTON, Nov. 10.—Arrived the ship Galatea, 11. J. ORNARD, from Calcutta, in 118 days. — Sailed from the Sand Heads 13th July. On his way down the River Hoogly, she passed on, their way up the Officers and crew of the English ship Eclipse, which was totally lost a few nights be fore in a gale of wind, on the IVlizen, between Kedgeru and Sanger, being outward bound. MARQUESS or HAsTINGs.—In the last letters received from this distinguished Nobleman, he does • not mention any intention of returning to England. We heartily join with the Morning Chronicle in every tribute which it can pay to the private character and political consistency of Mr. PERRY. We knew him long before any of those who now bestow just applause on his memory, and even as far back as when he was employed on The. Ge neral Advertiser, which first gave . scope to his talents. But, gratified as we are in rendering our sincere tribute of respect to his tuerit as a man, and as the able, consistent, and ho nourable Conductor of a Public Journal, we cannot overlook the attack which The Morning Chronicle this day has made upon our late re vered MONARCH. The Morning Chronicle, al luding to the.trial of. Admiral KErrEL, says, "an inferior Officer was set on by the higher powers to bring a criminal charge against his Commander in Chief, and which exhibited the unusual spectacle of his Majesty GEORGE THE THIRD receiving the accuser with open arms at his Court, before the charge so preferred by him had been investigated." We shall not stop to animadvert upon this inde cent attack upon the Government of the time, or presume to give our opinion on a professional sub ject. upon which the best Naval authorities had then very great doubts ; but it is the duty of every man who knows the character of our late excellent SO VEREIGN, to repel with indignation every attempt to lessen his unimpeachable honour and justice. The inquiry into the conduct of KEPPEL was ren dered quite a party business, and Sir 11. PALLISER suffered from the Opposition Faction of that period every species of ridicule and defamation. His MAJESTY, therefore, for the ends of justice, was determined to prevent him from being•discou raged in supporting the cause of truth and the honour of the British Navy. Such couduct on the part of his MAJESTY was calculated to main tain the objects of justice, by giving confidence to the man who might otherwise have sunk under the bitter attacks of satire and scurrility, directed against bins by men of the greatest talents of the time. The Opposition Party gave all possible countenance to the Person accused, and did all they could to degrade the accuser. Therefore liberality and justice required that the latter also should be supported. Time has settled the sub ject of KEPPEL'S Conduct, and, without impeach ing his memory, it may be fairly doubted whe ther, if his conduct on the occasion alluded to un derwent a professional examination now, he would experience the same verdict. We have but a word or two more to say. When the Morning Chronicle states that " it was during his residence at Portsmouth on this account, that he (Mr. PERRY) became acquainted with several of the Admiral's most distinguished friends, and amongst others, with Messrs. BURKE, DUNNING, and LEE, and particularly the present Lord EasKINE," does it not bring some doubts on the impartiality of his reports, since it was hardly possible for him, at that time, and in his situation to be ad mitted to the honour of such high connexions without being biassed by their wishes, opinions, and prejudices ? It is said that preparations were made on Fri day at the Pavilion at Brighton, to receive the Marquis WELLESLEY in the course of the day, for the purpose of his being admitted to the Royal presence, to take the usual oaths, on his appoint ment to the Vice Royalty of Ireland.--(Morn ing Herald.)

The county of Surrey has rarely, if ever, been enlivened in a greater degree than by the sumptuous entertainments given by the .JOLLIFFE family on Friday and Saturday last, in honour of the coining of age of Sir Wm. Hylton Jolliffe, nephew and heir to the highly esteemed Colonel Hylton Jolliffe, the Member for Petersfield, and son of the Rev. Mr. Jolliffe, of Imperial Cottage. Preparations on the most extensive scale have been proceeding for some weeks previous, both at Merst ham Hall, and at the Rev. Mr. Jolliffe's. The family upon this happy occasion had determined to revive one of those truly English scenes of olden time, when the ancient banners of their house, in trophied splendour, decorated the half of their ancestors, and the happy tenantry quaffed in honcst revelry the inspiring draught of nut brown October, with shouts of welcome and success to the Lord of the soil. The morning was ushered in by the ringing of the bells of Merstliam, Chip stead, and the neighbouring villages, where the family estates are. The Steward of the Colonel summoned together in the village 120 poor families, and, as the Almoner of the house of Jolliffe, distributed to each a plentiful supply of good English cheer, con sisting of bread, meat, beer, and coals. The poor thus provid ed for, the most sumptuous preparations for the noble and wealthy visitants were completed. A temporary ball-room had been constructed at Merstham Hall, which displayed great skill and ingenuity; it was situated under the great carriage entrance at the end of the mansion, of the length of 80 feet by . 3o feet wide, and communicated with the grand entrance ; the interior was lined throughout with rich glazed draperies of various colours, over a white ground of the same materials, which co vered the walls, thickly fluted. From the cieling was sus mded a variety of elegant festoons in massive folds, with gold fringes spreading across the room. A semi-circular tent with the same decorations, and a roof formed of immense folds of draperies of different colours, spreading from a ris ing sun, in burnished gold, extended itself to the extreme of the building, only separated from' the ball-room by a slight gold railing of trellis work. Under this elegant structure was arranged the orchestra, and on each side rose a choice collection of orange, citron, and other fragrant shrubs,. wafting a grateful odour. The company, among whom were noticed the following distinguished persons, began to arrive about four o'clock at the Reverend Mr. Jolliffe's :—The Duke of Saint Alban's, Viscount Eastnor, the Honourable D. Erskine, G. H. Sumner, Esq., .111. P. and J. Denison, Esq. M.P. , Sir Gilbert and Lady East, Lady Charlotte Beaclerc, Lady Caro line Dundm, Sir John and Lady Paul, and the Misses Paul, the Earl of Burford, &c. &c. &c.— Two hundred, at seven, o'clock, sat down to a most luxuriant repist —At ten the com pany were conveyed in carriages to Merstbam Hall, a distance of not more than 150 yards from Mr. Jolliffe's, on the rise of the hill. The ball was o p ened b y Sir 'Wm. Hylton Jolliffe, and the accomplished Lady. Charlotte Beauclerc, with a' favourite quadrille. A three o'clock supper was announced in the grand drawing-room; six tables to accommodate 250 persons were dis played with every variety of attraction. The healths of the Jolliffe family were severally drank by the company with long continued plaudits ; they individually returned thanks. Dancing was resumed, and kept up with the greatest spirit. And it was nearly eight o'clock before all the party had retired. The next morning (Saturday) a public breakfast was given at the Hall ; most of the company of the preceding evening, and a large field of sportsmen, assembledon the heights to hunt with the Colonel's crack pack of hounds. This day a ball and supper are to be given to the tenantry and trades p eo p le of the family at the Hall; the Colonel's steward will preside. GLEE CLUn.—On Saturday the principal Glee Club of Eng land held their first meeting for the season, and the 34th year since the establishment of the Club. The Duke of Devonshire arrived on Friday evening late at Devbnshire-house, from Paris ; yesterday his Grace we to Chiswick, - and returned to tow n to dinner; he is expected to leave town, on Wednesday, for his seat, Hardwick, Derbyshire. Sir Henry Hardinge, still, it is.said, in a few days lead to the hymeneal altar - Lady Emily James, widow of the late J. James, Esq. and sister to Lord Stewart.—(Durham Advcrtizer, Dec. 8.) has r ecently purchased the mansion Henry Pierse, Esq. M . P . and estate of Hutton Bonville, near Northallerton, winch ad joins to his other estate, at Lazenby, all onc e the p ro p erty and residence of the ancient family of Conyers. The last Baronet of that family (Sir Thom as ) died / at Chester-le-street, a few years ago.—(lbid.) We hear that Madame Catalani and Mr. Br'aham intend having two concerts at Newcastle on the 3d and stl; of next month, in the Large Assembly Room, the use of which has been granted by the Committee.—abid.) DEC. 6.—This has been a bright day, but with "an eager and nipping air." The weather yesterday was also favourable for the season. 'I he KING was often on the Palace Lawn, both yesterday and to-day, but as yet his MAJESTY has not appeared in public. The Mar quess of WELLESLEY is the only Palace depar ture of to-day. On Saturday, about one o'clock, the Princess AUGUSTA left town in her travelling carriage and four, for her Royal Highness's residence at Frog more, near Windsor. It is understood that there is no truth in the report, that an Estate near Winchester might have been sold for 40,000/. a few years since, but which was lately sold for 14,000/. ; on the contrary, the Estate alluded to, ‘ve believe, was never estimated as being worth more than 22.,000/. and which was not long since sold for about 16,000/. subject to an annuity of WU, the trent and covenants of the lease under which it is held being leasehold property. We do not believe ther e has been that actual depre ciation of landed property which many persons, appear so anxious to promulgate and maintain. THE --- THEATRE.The Comedy of The Busy Body was revived at Drury-lane Theatre on Sa turday. HARLEY was very active and very di verting in Marplot. MUNDEN'S Sir Francis Gripe has long been known for its comic merit. Patch was admirable in the hands of Miss KELLY ; and Mrs. EDWIN was sprightly and 'humorous in Mi randa. This is an excellent old Comedy, and was well received by the audience. COURT O KING'S BtNCII.-7.--eritis LIBEL ON HIS MAJESTY. TUE KING versus lIIG/11110RE. This was an information filed by his Majesty's ATTORNEY-GENERAL against the defendant, Dr. Samuel Higlunore, for having written a letter in the mouth of August, 1819, to Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, reflecting on the conduct of his Majesty, in having broken his promise, by re fusing to interfere in causing the Archbishop of Canterbury to appoint the defendant to practice in the several Ecclesiastical Courts, he having qualified 'himself so to do, by thirteen years study, and the receiving a degree of Doc tor of Civil Law at the University of Cambridge. The defendant in person addressed the Court with great ability, and had spoken near three hours. When our Reporter left the Court, the learned defendant was proceeding. _..; E,.. ." - -.0. . --", . ~ e )ao -, ' , 1p; , , , i 1 R 031 . IRELAND. NOTICE.—" The Chief Magistrate of Police is anxious to apprise the inhabitants of the count) , of Clare, that, in consequence of the disturbances in the neighbouring counties, and some appearance of disturbance in this, the utmost vigilance will be observed both by the military and the police ; and that they will patrole constantly. They are commanded to apprehend all suspicious persons, and where four or more persons are found to gether, after eight o'clock at night, and before day light, even though they may have no badges or arms, they will be apprehended for,an unlaw ful assembly, and committed accordingly.—The patroles are very much annoyed and interrupted in their duty by the barkings and attacks of cur dogs, and such persons as keep dogs, are request ed to confine them to their houses from dark until day light, as they will be shot by the patrole, if out after this notice, as the public service cannot be interfered with.—The Chief Magistrate is de sirous to give this Notice, lest any peison should suffer, or be inconvenienced, from being ignorant of those regulations."—(Clare Journal.) We are extremely gratified in being enabled to state, that Captain Waters, although very se verely wounded, is now considered by his phy sicians out of danger, and they hope he will be soon able to go out.—(Cork lidelligenter.) [From the Limerick Chronicle of Wednesday.] This morning Maurice Shaughnessy and Mi chael McMahon, a blacksmith, were brought into town, by Major Drought. There are good grounds for supposing that these two persons are much implicated in the present disturbances. On Saturday night, the Stage-house, occupied by Mr. Lynch, at Kilmastulla, in the county of Tipperary, was attacked by a number of men, who took a gun, and swore him to have a blun derbuss the next time they should call, on pain of death.—The house of John Donohue, a dog teacher, about a mile distant, was also attacked ) and his gull taken. A letter this morning from Mill-street, in the county of Cork, represents that neighbourhood to be in the most peaceable state, and that the report of the aback on Captain Wallis's Castle (as stated in the Dublin Papers) is perfectly un- founded. On Wednesday evening, between the hours of five and six o'clock, a party rushed into the house of Thomas Heaton, of. Kilgobbiu, -near Adare, and dose to the turnpike-road, where they succeeded in getting one musket. THE. A ELM BRIGHTON, DEC. B.—Three companies of the 2d, or Queen's Regiment, marched from this place for Winchester on Thursday morning. The garrison 'duty at Windsor is at present performed by a detachment of dismounted Horse Guards. These are to be relieved by the 2d, or Queen's, to-morrow. Three battalions of Veterans are, it is said, to be immediately raised in Ireland. his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief was expected to arrive in town yesterday, for the purpose of arranging the plan of organization upon which they are to be formed. - The head-quarters of Lord ATotrat are fixed at l3uttevant, where the cnd Regiment is also stationed. Detachments from which are sta tioned at Ballyclogh, Ruskeen-bridge, Bantyre, and throughout that neighbourhood. The first division of the 3d Dragoon Guards from Glasgow arrived at Piershill barracks on Monday.—(Edinburgh Courant, Dee. 6.) The arrangements and rauctions contemplated by Alinisters in the various departments of Go-. vernment, to take effect (according to a minute of the Treasury) from the sth of next month, are daily expected to be announced. We under stand the Dock-yard at Sheerness is to be re duced in its establishment,• and that the Corn. missioner, thellon. COURTENAY BOYLE, is to be a Commissioner of a new Board, which is to be established for the conducting of the Preventive' Service. Vice-Admiral Sir HENRY HoTHAm, and Capt. T. G. SHORTLAND (the present Chief _Director of that Department) to be the two other Commissioners of the Board. The Preventive Service is to be extended to parts of the coasts not yet under its control'', and more perfectly organised in others.—Three new stations have been just appointed in the • neighbourhood of Portsmouth—at Sonthsea Castle, Hell Head, and in the Isle of Wight. We are continually informed, that, .notwithstanding ail the means adopted, and vigilance, kept up,more contraband spirits is successfully run than can find a market. It appears to be the.opinion of the well-informed on this subject, that the only effectual preventive to smuggling would be.---by lessening the duties on the articles which are in common use. It is said that Sir JOSIAS ROWLEY is , likely to suc ceed Sir lIENay HoTnAm, as one of the Lords of the Admiralty.—(llampshirc Telegraph.) he plan of retrenchment which i has been commenced in other departments, will, it, 'is stated, also be carried into effect,. at the end of the present year, in all the offices connected with the Navy. A great 'number of clerks will re• tire on various stipends, and it is said that the re• d',ctions are not,to be confined to inferior persons but that some of the Commissioners are likewise to give up their situations, both at the Navy and i Victualling Boards. ItOYAL NAVY. Saturday afternoon the Active frigate, C7ptain Sir Jamei Alexander Gordon, K.C.B. returned from Gibraltar, •-where she landed the Earl of Chatham and suite, after nearly three weeks piussage from Portsmouth. She left Gibraltar on the 24th ult. and touched at Lisbon on the 28th, but was refused pratique unless twelve days had elapsed ainee her departure front Gibraltar. She left the 'Tagus yesterday se'nnight, and had fine weather until Friday.

The Tees, 26, Capt. Coe, will be paid wages this day, and sail immediately afterward, it is expected, for Bengal direct. II er detention is supposed to have been occasioned by the uncer tainty which has prevailed as to the expected return of the Mar quis of Hastings from India., The Icarus, 14, Capt.
