LONDON.
FRIDAY. AUGUST 6, iBt9.

The Supreme Director of Chili has addressed a
Proclamation to the inhabitants of Peru, inciting
them to rise in arms against the Spanish Govern-
ment, and to unite with the expeditionary army of
Chili, which, in the words of the Proclamation,
" approaches to ensure their independence." It
is evident from the expressions contained in this
Proclamation, that attempts had been made to re-
present the Chilean armament as the result of an
'utritious project on the part of the Government
of Chili to extend its power over the people of
Peru, and it is not improbable that such misre-
presetitations may have been partially successful in
excitir.g u prejudice among the Peruvians against
the enterprising friend* of general freedom. The
gross ignorance in which their oppressors had, for
their own security, kept the unhappy natives, of
South America, must render them peculiarly sua-
ceptible of erroneous impressions, and to this
alone can be attributed the notorious jealousy with
which the several provinces struggling for indepen-
dence from the !sower of Spain regard each other ;
even the disinterested exertions of British subjects in
their cause could not escape this unhappy feel-
nog; slid we believe there is much truth in what
was stated some time since in the Douse of
Commons by Lord CASTLEREAGH, that many
of the South Americium are impressed with the
notion that the British Government secretly fa-
vours the expeditionary armaments of British troops,
' Ihr the pbrpose of obtaining some val.usble portion
of the rich prize which is now the subject of contest.
To excite such sentiments of distrust and aliena-
tion between those who would combat in the same
cause, is the obvious policy of the Spaniards, and
we cannot he •orpiri,ed that the insidious represeu-
tritons of their common enemy should be success.
tarp over the witaught mind of the poor Ame►ican,
when we remember the unbending prejudice against
this country, •entertsioed and avowed by even the
better classes of society in Old Spain, when the
British standard was first unfurled within their
country to check the, progress of French invasion.
No other motive than the desire of rendering
Spain a province of the British Empire could,
iu their minds, induce this country to make
those tremendous sacrifices of blood sod treasure
which were at once our triumph and our de-
struction. English and French were equally the
objects of their detestation; but thei► Castilian
pride suggested to niers), that, having with the as-
sistance of one party driven out the other, they
might subsequently, at their. leisure, get rid of the
conquerors.

But by whatever arts such prejudices my love

beer excited in the mioas of the South Americans
-by their Orpsuislt oppressors, they esnoot be of long
continuum,. A. the republics of Wound* sod
Buenos Ayres acipire cordidelte its their own
strength, and become enabled *at manifest the
principles of their respective Goviroments, their
iirflueoce meat have the effect of diepeffing
dime false and tanteatic illusions which have con-
tributed to the streugth of the r:Ontallari *snooty.
By giving independence to Grenalla and Pero, of
which but little doubt can now be eneetained, they
will prove that no mean ambition has lirected their
councils. The force which his receutly kit Dubs
lies, under General D'Evssevx, will mho contri•
byte to remove any illiberal suspicions winvis may
have been entertained with respect to the bilis!)
auxiliaries; for, by acting under the intmetbste
command and sanction of the acknowledged Go-
vernmeot of Venezuela, it gives a pledge of faith
and visicerity. It is impossible to contemplate a
nobler object than will be presented to the world
by this corps of independent Britons. Inspired by
an ardent seal in the cause of freedom, these gal-
fellows—ninny of them poseeseed of rank mid
fortune at home-41ave ffisvociated themselves for
the sole purpose of establishing the inslepseid-
ence of a foreign people; fur this they sacrifice
every ordinary advantage, and encounter every
danger and privation in the pursuit of this great
object of their ambition. Theirs is no maraud-
ing expedition ; of this the character of their Ge-
neral offers a sufficient guarantee : but should
there be a man among them whose ambition
was subservient to his avarice, who sought to
obtain power for the purpose of abusing it to
his own gratification, or who hoped to realise
in South America the imaginary El Dorado, he
might have learned from the speech delivered by his
General at the public dinner in Dublin, that such
were nut the objects contemplated by those who
planned the expedition. No hopes were there held
out but the promises of the Venezuelan Govern-
ment. These, however, were to be fulfilled only
on the condition of eventual success. Privations
and dangers, therefore, were first to be encoun-
tered, mid no doubt if by valour and perseverance
these be eventually surmounted, the rewards will
be magnificent.

We were correct in stating that Government is
determined to prevent the Manchesttr Meeting. It
has not been insinuated that this Meeting is likely
to differ in character, conduct, and purpose, from
any of the late Reform Meetings, unless in being
less spirited and energetic, or, in the language
of the Treasury Journals, more ,g lame and
tame." It now appears that Ministers regret the
toleration which they have afforded to Meetings of
this kind, and are determined to prevent them iu
future.

Extract of a private letter from Manchester,
dated August 3
" The requisitionists appea► determined to hold
the Meeting on the 9th inttant, notwithstanding the
declaration of the Magistracy as to its illegality.
a, A conbiderable nuiiibe► of troops have arrived in
the town as a precautionary meabure, and a field day
has been fixed by Sir JOHN Bran for Friday next,
for the purpose of displaying to the people who
may witness it, the numbers of the soldiers, and
the powers of the field-pieces."

A very important change has taken place in the
arrangements attending the intercourse between
this Island and the Continent. For persons of
every description leaving England for the opposite
coast, Dutch, French, and English passports were
held sufficient, with this material difference, that
the Dutch and French passports were issued gra-
tuitously, while the others were attended with
some expense. This practice has undergone a
complete and radical reform, thus proving that
it is a libel upon Ministers to assert that they
are enemies to reform where they can turn it
to their own advantage. A system has been
lately introduced by which the Dutch and French
passports are declared null and void, and every
person leaving England for France or Rolland
must be provided with • passport from the Office of
the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. signed by
his own proper hand, and emblazoned with his arms
as Knight of the Garter, upon a Ss. stamp. Fur
this passport the modest charge of W. 7r. 6J. is de.
madded—a sum nearly equal to half the pre-
vious expense of a jiyarney front London to Paris,
Si. being the total amount of the expense at which
persons have announced by advertisement in the
newspapers, their readiness to undertake this co►r.
veyance. We also find that of these 511. 7s. 6,1.
passports, upwards of 3,000 have been issued with-
in a very short period, we believe within the last
seven months, being at the rate of between 12 and
14.0001. a year. • very neat and pretty addition to
the emoluments' of the office of Secretary of State
for Fureign Affairs. The rage among the upper
classes of society for visiting the Continent has
been since tl►e peace a standing subject of com-
plaint among tl►ose who me obliged to remain at
home, many of whom would be reconciled to
an Absentee Tax, however unconstitutional, as
a restraint upon migration. In all the finan-
cial difficulties of the CHANCELLOt of the
EXCHEQUER, ptHLlledi as lie has been to find
oust new taxes that would be productive, lie has
never. proposed an Absentee Tax. in this new
regulation, however, we have an Al:maitre Tax,

The Paris Papers of Monday lied contain the ter.
urination of the trial of M. BAVOCI, the law pro.
fesso►. His defence, with the speeches of his coun-
sel and of those for the prosecution, occupied the
Court during the greater part of Sundry, and the
President having summed up the evidence and ar.
gumetits, the Jury retired, and after an hour's con.
sultanate, pronounced M. Battoux—Not
The verdict was received by the law students who
favoured M. BAYOUX.II sentiments with loud tied.-
mations, which even the authority of the Cnnrt
could tint restrain, and M. Bstioux, surrounded
by an admiring multitude, traversed several streets
of Paris in a species of triumph. A writer in the
Journal des Debais, noticing this circumstance,
adds, that during the Revolution lie had often
witnessed processions of a similar nature, with this
difference in favour of the present, that while
the former ever excited sentiments of horror, the
latter could be the object only of pity. If at this
distance from the scene of such an occurrence, and

being untainted by the angry passions which the
event, trifling as is was, seem►► to have excited, we
might express an op ' concerning it, we blio u I d
think that the acquittal ►.f this man afforded no
cause for triumph to any but hie immediate friends.
who certainly may he excused, even► by the fiertidi.
ous Journal des Delmar, fur expressing their joy at
the result. The offense committed by BAVOUIL
undoubtedly ought not to have toren con►idered a
fit subject for judicial punishment ; if he trans-
gressed the strict limits of his academic duty,
he was amenable to academic laws, and by them
only should he have been visited.
One of these Papers contains a short paragraph,
stating that Berlin has been the scene of some
great disorders; but of what nature is not men•
tioned. The Duke of CUMBERLAND has left that
capital.

Intelligence from Madrid of the gist of July,
which will be found in our extracts, speaks of
the effectual disoipation of the conspiracy which
had been discovered among the troops at Cadiz.
No further arrests, beyond those at first stated,
have been mode ; but to chew that the conspiracy-
had extended beyond the military, it is mentioned,
that several inhabitants of Cadiz have taken to
flight.

Our Paper contains ■ Report of the Speech made
by General D'Eveasux, at a late public dinner
in Dublin. That gallant Officer haring► sailed
with his Legion from that City, we attach a particu-
lar interest to this Speech, as a full and final de-
claration of his sentiments, and the principles upon
which he has embarked with his gallant associates
in the present perilous mid important enterprise.
A record of this kind is the more nec ~,,,,, when
the portion of the public press hostile to the cause
of liberty deals so largely in misrepresentation.

It is currently reported, and, we believe, from
the highest authority, that the barony of Sudley is
now ve,ted in a married Lady, the wife of a profess
sional Gentleman residing ■t Shepton-Mallet, iu
Samersetshire. or that neighbourhood, as the regular
de►crndant of Sir JOHN BILYDGEN, to whom it was
granted by Queen MARY, Nixon 260 years ago.
This Sir JOHN BRYDGES was the ancestor of the
Dukes of CHANDOS.
