Last night we received the AilAremi ice Zrif wig of the sia
inst. The only intelligence it contains relates to tne Greeks
and the revolt in Berrie. At Trieste, it appears that a
report of the surrender of Patras was current. Prince Alt-
, coact', the Turkish Governor of Servia, has issued a cir-
cular declaration respecting the insurrection, Which he
asserts was entirely the work of some malignant people,
who were grieved at the peace which he and the country
enjoyed.", lie loudly vaunts his fidelity to the Sublime
Porte, and dwells with such emphasis on the suoceasful
resistance he made to the " fruitless endeavours" of the
conspirators to induce him to rebel, that it seems evident
to us, either that he is insincere in his allegiance, or that
the power and ramifications of the insurgents were consi-
derable.
TIIESTE, FED. 19.
V. bare no late news direct from the Moles, but letters free
' Venice of yesterday's date, just received, mention a report of the
surrender of Patras to the Greeks. The confirmation of this im-
portant news is impatiently expected by the Greeks in this city.

Lion, which pretty plainly alludes to far-extended ramificatioor,
it is affirtned in Belgrade that detached corps of insurgents sties'

We have received an important official report of the
actual state of Greece. We had intended to have inserted
the first portion of it this day, but the pressure of the Assize
intelligence compels us to postpone it till to-morrow.
A further confirmation of the important intelligence
from Pent has been received. Since the communication
we published on Saturday, from our Correspondent at
Liverpool, we could have no doubt of the authenticity of
the de,patches to General Sou n LETTE. In another co-
lumn we have given an abstract of the official documents,
detailing the successes of the Patriots. The contest with
the combined Royalist forocs continued during three suc-
cessive days, the 7th, Bth, and 9th of December. The
result our readers already know—the entire and a. final
subversion of the §panish power in every part of South
America. GeneracSucae had the honour of completing
the deliverance of that immense continent, by a victory as
brilliant in its military character to the arms of the
Patriots, as it is beneficial in its consequences, immediate
and remote, to the permanent welfare of mankind. On
the 7th of December, a division of the Liberating Army
eatexad Lima, commanded by Bot IVA ain person. In two
days afterwards all the Royalist Chiefs were his prisoners.
The confirmation of this news, in all other respects so
'gratifying, is accompanied by the painful intelligence of
the sudden death of Mr. Rowcnorr, who was killed acci-
dentally by a sentinel of the Independent Army occupying
Lima. The conduct cf Mr. Rowcnorr, in this melan-
choly transaction, appears to have been marked by some of
that eccentricity for which he was occasionally remarkable
in his native country. However deeply we may lament the
result: we cannot pretend to doubt the extreme imprudence
of leaving a garrison, like Callao, almost in a state of siege,
and disregarding the challenges he received from the ad-
vanced post of the blockading forces. It appears, also, as
if to have invited the catastrophe, that the unfortunate
gentleman was dressed in military uniform, and followed
by his carriage, which was mistaken by the sentinel for
two pieces of artillery, known to be stationed at the ene-
my's advanced post. It is consolatory to learn, that every
attention was shown to Mr. Rowcnorr by the authorities
of both the hostile parties; and that, whatever private ca-
lamity may have ensued from this lamentable event, it is
not calculated to give rise in the slightest degree to any
unpleasant feelings between this country and the South
American States.

It does not often happen in these speculative days, that
we find the English Market lighter than the. Foreign ; but
'that was the fact yesterday. It was a lively market in
Consols during the whole morning, and the prices conse-
quently looked up. The money bargains were done at
931 j ; and those for the Account 94j 94. The Foreign
Market, to a certain extent, was depressed—at least it was
heavy. Old Spanish Bonds were at 2411 ; the New were
at 191 f ; Colombian, 921; Mexican New Scrip, 4;
Brazilian, 9$ I ; Old Greek Bonds were at 551; and the
New Scrip at Ito 1 discount, but there was no doubt that
it would improve, and a good deal was actually bought at
the above quotation. The Mines and other Shares con-
tinued steady. Pasco-Peruvians were worse; they were
done at 34. The new Mexican Company's Shares were at
Jot. The Astantie and Feeifie fluctuated between 11 anti'
2i. There was but little doing in the Rail-road Shares.
The Colanial Market was heavy, and but few sales made.
Plantation Coffees, at the public auctions, were ss. to 6s.
lower than last week. We cannot quote sugars at any i
other than Friday's prices, because there were no bargains
concluded; but we apprehend bona fide purchst.iees would
not have given them.
The Deputation of West India Merchants and Planters
waited on the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, with
a memorial praying that the duty on rum may be reduced
proportionally with the reduction of duty on British spirits.
The Right Hon. Gentleman did net promise that he would
altogether accede to the request, but the Deputation left
Downing-street confidently anticipating that the duties on
rum will he fixed on a scale much more favourable to the
West India interests than was originally proposed.
On Monday a Meeting of merchants and others was held
at Liverpool, for forming a Company to effect a direct
canal and road eommunication between Liverpool and Lon-
don, by means of a combined aqueduct and roadway across
the river Mersey at •Runeotn, embracing also r direct canal
communication between Liverpool and Manchester, through
the lines of the Duke of Bridgewater, Sankey, and the
Mersey and Erwell canals. Several Resolutions were en-
tered into, and a Committee formid to obtain estimates,
&e. &c. preparatory to another Meeting, to be called oa an
early day.
There are letters in town from Odessa to the 11th

INTELLIGENCE.

HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY, Alaace 8.
Baring's Divorce Bill was read a second time, and ordere.l to be
committed to-morrow.
SUFFIELD said. he rose to present a petition from Staf-
ford Cooke. The petititn, his Lordship observed, was respectfully
worded, but he knew nothingof the party from whom it proceeded,
nor did he undertake to support the prayer of the petition ; that
prayer was for their Lorrighips to suspend their judgment relative
to the Stafford Peerage. In proposing that it be laid on the table,
he felt it necessary to observe, that he would not do so it it con-
tattled anything disrespectful towards Sir George Jerningliarn, now
Lord Stafford.—The petition was then laid on the talc.
SCOTCH JURIES BILL.
On the motion of Lord MELVILLE, the Scotch Juries BM
was read a second time, and ordered to be committed tomorrow.

The Earl of BOSEBERY was of opinion that the pervone
most interested in the Bill which it was intended should pus. into
a law, the Judges of Scotland, were the persona who would be moat
pleased at the circumstance. He was sure that the power they pets-
' 'eased would not be misused, but he thought it would be better to
take all responsibility out of their hands, in order to prevent any
ukylcasant report/ that they did not do justice.

The Noose went into a Committee on the Glebe Lands Bill, and
the Bill was reported with amendments.

ditors have released, and have no legal claim upon him.
Such instances are rare, and are worthy of imitation. We
understand it is the intention of his creditors to present him
with a piece of plate, to perpetuate their sense of his
integrity.

LIBERA77ON OF PERU.

Advice, were yesterday received front Lima to the filth
of December, which fully confirm the authenticity of the
despatches ft om the Colombian army in Peru. The fol-
lowing is an abstract of the official details respecting this
important eveht:—
" The battie took place at Gaamanguilla, which is within three
isogon of Gumming'. General La Sucre commanded the Patriot
troops, Mies: having gone to Lima to meet the reinforcements
frutu Panama, and having conceived that the campaign for the
time was finished, the Royalist troops having been driven across
the Apurimi.c. General La Srrna, however, interid;rg to make a
rapid movement upon Lima, left Cusco, and re-crossed the Apu-
rimac with s force of from six to seven thousand men. Upon this
movement, General Sucre detached General Lamar to occupy
Cusco with a body of troops. General Sucre being thus left with
the Colombian forces, amounting only to six thousand men, the
Viceroy conceived it a favourable opportunity to make an attack
on him, which he put in execution at Guamanguilfa. lle was
wounded early in the action, and taken prisoner. The greater
part of his wing of the army was either killed or wounded. Very
soon afterwards General Valdes was taken prisoner, with the troops
under his immediate command. After these reverses, General
Cantanie rallied his division of the army, and gained a height
about half a league from the scene of action. On the dawn of the
day after which the battle was fought, General Cantarac, seeing
the total defeat which the army had experienced, and that all the
chiefs and officers of distinction had fallen or had been taken pri-
loners, capitulated, with 2,600 men, and stipulated the immediate
delivery of the castles of Callao, and the total evacuation of Peru
by all the Rpanlvh subjects.
"Accounts from Pis:o, of the 19th December, state, that at the II
date of the last accounts, all the Royalist Chiefs were prisoners in
the Custom-house of Ousmanga."
