issued isdroctions that he should be 'mattered to
travel as be pleased without any molestation, and that
his ship should be allowed to pass without under-
going the formality of inspection. This event
discountenancea all the hopes which were pre-
viously entertained of the continuance of peace.
The concurrence of Austria in the views of Kitimat
cannot be doubted; but the determination of tit!
other Powers is as yet a matter of mystery and
of deep interest. The expectation of a war has
alrealy exercised a very• Unfavourable influence
upon the Austrian Government securities, nor has
our own Intuit heti', free from a similar impression.
We hope that no circumstance will occur in ;he ap-
proaching conflict to induce the !Ukiah Govern-
ment to take a part in the *quarrels that may arise
upon the Continent.

The Andromache frigate, Captain SIIERRIFP.
with about one million of dollars on board, from
Lima, arrived on Saturday at Portsmouth. She
left the port of Callao on the gth of April Imo,
leaving there the Owen Glendower frigate. Hon.
Captaiu SPENCER, and the whole of the Chilian
fleet, under Lord COCHRANE. His Lordship's
force was in a most efficiem stale, and an attack on
the town of Callao was daily expected to be made.
Lima had not surrendered to SAN MARTIN'S army,
but so straitened were the Royalists in all their re-
sources, that its daily capitulation was expected,
together with the whole of the province. The An-
dromochi-called at Valparaiso, and left it on the
Bth of May ; reached Rw Janeiro on the 4 ist June,
after a favourable passage round Coe Horn. She
left Rio Janeiro the 15th July, and has brought to
England, as passengers, Lady COCHRANE and her
two children, and the wife and family of the Ex-
' Viceroy of Peru. The Saperb, 74, Captain A.
MaciteNztx; Creole frigate, Commodore Sir T.
HARDY; and Conway. Cap/. BASIL HALL, were
in t!re Pacific. Sir I'. HARDY, in the Creole, had
gone from Valparaiso to Callao. The Morgiana
had arrived at Rio Janeiro with a slave ship, which
she had captured. The only American man of
war on the South American station was the Con-
itellation, the Illocedunicm hiving returned to the
•United States.

tion of the Spanish army and of the lihrrating army,

4,000 men at Puno, in the province of Cusco. The occu.
ration of this post secures the fatuous mines of Potosi, La
Paz, and Cochabamba, whose valuable productions are is.
traduced into Lima through the Province of lance. The
spirit of the natives of these two provinces slay be best in-
ferred from the following paragraph, extracted from the his-
tory of the South Americas .Revulation (the author of which
resided in Lima); in which it is altirwied, that these four
places are, without doubt, those that have suffered most
from the Revolution ; the uatives have undergone every
hards►ip, and yet in no part of the world is patriotism more
affirmed.
Si

Ricafort has 2,000 troops in Jamas,
from whose rich asd well-cultivated valleys the capital re-
ceives crest supplies; this, with Roaming', situated es the
other side of the Cordillera, are completely in a state of revo.
lotion ; the Spaniards maintain themselves only at the point
of the bayonet, and, on their entry a month since, the lu.
diens, collected in a great number on • precipice near the
passes,watcbed the Spaniards, and immediately they approach-
ed, they threw immense gulpas, or large stoner, down the
height, by which and slings, they killed and ►outed the whole
force. It is not improbable that the Patriots in the Sierra
(which joins this province), with this feeling prevailing
amuse the Indians, will dislodge Ricafores division, in which
ease Lima would be molly reduced fur provision.. It is ra-
ther singular that the adjriniug province of Ruaticavelici
should he entirely addicted to the Royal cause
" In lima ■nd its environs the disposable force may be
7,500, under the intrusi►e Viceroy, La Serna, and his con-
stituent General, Camel:re, who promoted • mutiny in the
garrison of Agaapuipsio, in order to depose the legitimate
Vier-King, Lientenant•General Duo Juaquiu de la Przuela,
which wok place on Ilse morning of the 29111.1anuary.—A
peremptory order was sent lulu him to abdicate within two
hours, saying, that it was the wish of the troops that he
should be deposed; there being no alternative, he soigne(' his
resignatiou, soul La Serum took the command, without,
strange as it may appear, a single voice of the people. The
chief instigators in this conspiracy, besides La Scrim, were
Cante►ae, the Marquis of Valleumbruso, mid a Colonel
&nine; the two latter went in the brig of war Magpie, for
Spain, with the information, but were captured off Rio de
Jaheiree by the Ruesios Ayrian privateer Heroine. From
the incommunication of the Andrummehe, it is not possible
to say bow far the existing Government may be popular;
but it is certain that all she officers have been forced to re-
linquish half their pay to defray the expenses of the troops,
and provisions Lave beronse both scarce and exerssivety
dear. It is said, on good authority, that it was the intention
ill hazard a battle to relieve the inhabitants, mad the result
must decide the fate of l'eru. The camp at Agwipuquia is
broken up; from the number of officers and soldiers shot
there, it hax beau deservedly called the Santo ()trio, or, the
is qui~ition.
"The cavalry of the whole force may be 1,400, and the
European troops 2,000, which is the outside of their force
included.— Ito Amp**, with Colson:I Ca►atela, 1,000 mess

when she would return to England to be paid off.
The Forte, Sir I'. COCHRANE, was at Birbadnee,

tion had been brought from St. Thomas's, by the

arrived in nineteen days from Port Royal.—
The island of Jamaica had suffered from a long
drought, which gave the crops the appearance of
being half burnt ; ground provisions were becom-
ing very ►carce : if the rain kept off until Septem-

A Liilion INail has arrived. with Papers to the
iisth last. The ditissinti of the articles of the
Constitution is centiiined in the tortes'.

We give this day an account of the progress of
the Kinn's visit to Dublin up is Wednesday last,
on which day the Dublin Papers state hii MAJOSTT
proposed to visit the Curragli of Kildare. From
our private letters; however, we learn, that in *con-
sequence of the wetness of the weather his MaJairrir
postponed his visit to that celebrated race-groiind'
uotil Friday Nat. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY,
accompar.ied 'by Lord VALLETORT • and suite,
Ifit Dublin and passed through Belfast on Satur-
day se' 'ght; on his way to his seat in the north
of Ireland. It is stated in the Dublin ['spirit
that his departure was in consequence of an ix-
presi sent to his Lordship; who was then at glane
Castle; by the Austrian Ambassador in Dublin;
immediately upon the receipt of divatchri from his
Court, which were presumed to be of political im-
portance. This might be a plausible reason for his
Lordship's sudden and unexpected departure for
London, bad he proceeded directly hither, but it is
not a satisfactory cause for his Visit to his Irish
estates. We are rather disposed to CfinclUde that
his MAJESTY did not require his further attendance
in Dublin, and that his Lordship was very glad to
be relieved from it. We have seen letters which
give a very different account of his reception dur-
ing his visit to that City from that which we have
read in some of the newspapers. The people of
Dublin are repruablied in no small portion of the
public press of this country with hypocrisy or fickle-
ness, in bestowing the most enthusiastic applause
upon his Lordship, too lately the subject of their
reprobation. The dealers out of this censure should,
in justice to the people of Ireland, haie ascertained
that their premises were correct. Some friendly
Boackirrgharn—and we do Bud there are two or three
managers of such scenes from this side of the
water now in Dublin—may have contrived, in the
ordinary way, to get up the farce of an llama for
the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, among a few of
the populace ; but the piece, we believe, was soon
withdrawn, mud where it did succeed, it was entitled
for its good fortune to his Lordship's new title.
under which Lord CASTLEREAGH, their old friend,
was not at first generally recognised by the lower
classes of the people of Dublin. His Lordship
and his friends, who know in what manlier lie was
received out of doors on Ibis arrival at the home of
the Archbishop of Duituts, when he honoured his
Grace with his company at dinner, will acknow-
ledge the fairness of this statement.

On Monday the Rosario, Captain MARTAT, •nd
on Tuesday the Tyne, Captain J. K. WHITE, re-
turned to Portsmouth from Cuxhaven.

On Tuesday the Eurolits frigate, Captain Rio-
LAND, was paid off, and immediately re-commis-
sioned by Lieutenant PARKER, for foreign service.
On being paid off the seamen presented their First
Lieutenant (Lieutenant CHARLES PEASE) with a
handsome Over cup and cover, and an elegant
uniform sword and belt, in token of theivestrem
for his kind, officerlike, and gentlemanly con-
duct towards them during the three years and up.
wards the ship was in comwission.

The German Correspondent states, that • plan
has been submitted to three great Courts (by
Baron GAGERN), for the restoration of the Order
of St. John of Jerusalem, in the island of Rhodes,
or some other island, which shall be separat-
ed from the Ottoman Empire, iii consequence of
the war, which is considered inev t ibie. He proposes
to establish three colleges of the Order ; one for
Catholics, another for the Greeks, and a third for
Protestants. Each college to have a Grand-master,
under the protection of three great Powers (p►oba-
bly Russia, Austria, and Prussia). This project is
very well relished by the public, and we shall
doubtless shortly see a crusade for the purpose of
getting possession of the island of Rhodes.
Sir GREGOR M‘GREOOR, whose name is so ititi-
nudely associated with the transatetions of the war
between the colonies of Spain and the mother coun-
try, arrived here on Friday last front Belfast, in the
Eclipse strum-boat. Hi. stay in town, we believe,
was short.—(Greenock Advertiser./

Extract from a letter from Dublin, dated Wed-
nesday the 49111 August
*The Gestlenses of the County of Dublin were to have
escorted the King this day to the bounds of the county, on
his way to the Curragh Races, but his Majesty has deferred
going until Friday, ou account of the wetness of the weather.
The people here Ere surprised at seeing among the Nobility
and. Gentry of the county of Dublin, who propose to escort
his Majesty, the name of J. Sharpe, of Rash (louse, when
it is well known that the said house, with the extensive pro-
perty appertaining to it, is the estate of the Palmer'., en-
tailed us the present Sir William Palmer, now on the Coo-
lineal, and that Mr..l. Sharpe, brother to the Secretary of
the Loyal Bridge-street Aseociatiun, is only agent to the
estate."
The Duke of NORFOLK and the Duke of Da•
110118HIRR were the principal pecuniary contribu-
tors to making the new road just opened between
Sheffield and tiloasop, in Yorkshire, which renders
the distance between the former place and Liver-
pool much nearer than by the old road.
