Extract of a letter from Chili, 'dated Santiago di
. Chili, June, 1820:—" Patriot bayonets will, ere
long, irrevocably fix the destiny of this vast pen-
insula in Peru. Six thousand troops headed by
General San Martin, will sail in a very few days;
and except in the immediate neighbourhood of
Lima, will meet with no Spanish Mrce capable of
opposing tha slightest resistance. All there is ripe
fur a revolution ; and the explosion will inevitably
take (dace the very moment a rallying point is
offered to the innumerable patriots who have so-
licited the aid of this army, and for whom 10,000
stand of arms are carried in the fleet, and officers
to discipline and command them. The Spaniards
have, in all Peru, from 12,000 to 18,000 troops,
but scattered over that immense country, and fur
the greatest part separated from the rest by a dis.
tance of many hundred leagues, and roads an
chains of mountains almost impassable. A force
of from 3,000 to 5,000 men is also about to march
from Cordova, via Tucumon, Salta, Jujuy, in
-order to attack Upper Peru (Potosi, Cochabamba,
La Paz, &c). The Spaniards arc in a most ertical
situation, ready to split amongst themselves, were
they not prevented by the fear of the patriots, and
an immense black population, eager to avail itself
.of any opportunity of shaking off its chains. A
system of espoinage, both public and private, has
been established, which has cast a general gloom
over all society, and almost destroyed all intercourse
and confidence between man and man. Many of
the most respectable Creole inhabitants are under
cctifinement; the Viceroy has found it necessary to
have recourse to the most violent extortions, in
order to gratify the increased avarice of his satel-
lites, who, foreseeing that their harvest is almost
at an end, are labouring to make a provision for
the storms about to ensue, and endeavour by
largesses to secure the fidelity of the few natives
who still adhere to the cause of Spain. Com-
merce is at a stand still, since the Spanish II 'g
is scut in these seas, and all intercourse with
the mother country at an end. The enemies
to South American independence have, doubt-
less, triumphed nut a little on viewing the un-
it. tunute scenes which have of Into been acted at
llcenos-Ayr.s. Here all is tranquil : and in spite
of the bad example almost invariably set by Spanish

occurred here: the market was in the first place
glutted, and many lost •money, consequently all
were disheartened, and sent nothing more, now,
really all those goods have been consumed, and
uneotnnionly dear. The wine-drinkers arc quite
disconsolate, compelled to make use of that of the
country, which is very indifferent, since no other is
to be procured• The Prueba, Spanish frigate, late
consort of the St. Elate, 74, whisk has doubtless
foundered at sea, has availed itself of the opportunity
of running from Lima to Guyaquil with a convoy
and reinforcement for that garrison, while the ;fleet
remained at Valparaiso preparing for the expedition
It is rather singular that even the failure of the
rocket attack on the shipping at Callao, and the late
disturbances at Buenos-Ayres, have produced an
effect beyond measure favourable to the object of
expedition, since it has lulled the Viceroy of Peru
into an opinion of conscious security, such as to pre-
vent his taking those measures of defence which he
otherwise most undonbtedly would and indeed he
has of late disbanded two corps (as I am told, a spe-
cies of permanent militia) at Lima."

Country Notes.—Caution.—The public arc re-
quested to be upon their guard against a species of
forgery lately introduced, and which is, in a pecu-
liar degree, calculated to entrap the unwary. It
appears there are now parties actively engaged in
this nefarious traffic, particularly in the west of
England, where their depreciations have been of
considerable extent. Their mode of operation is this:
—They procure genuine one•pound notes of such
country bunks as hest suit their purpose, and having
cut out the word One, substitute that of Five or Ten,
in a manner so dexterous as to escape common ob-
servation ; and, in this state, pass them to innkeepers 11
and others. It would be well, therefore, if every !
person, on taking a country note of greater value
than one pound, would look carefully, to we that
there is no joining, or substituting in the paper; I.
more especially when a note, from having been long
in circulation, is mended and pasted on the back.
Two very respectable Jews, diamond merchants,
arrived on Saturday from Pesaro, in Italy, as evi-
dence for the Queen.

In addition to the reward of 10C1. offered for the
apprehension of Fletcher, alias Franklin, by Mr.
Pearson, on behalf of the Queen's Plate Committee,
a reward of 2001. is offered by Government in
last night's Gazette. Mr. Haytion, the principal
colleague of Mr. Pearson, applies daily at Bow.
street, to learn if any intelligence has been received
from the Continent respecting Fletcher. It is sup-
posed fnom the circumstance of no communication
having been made from Vickery or Mr. Pearson,
that they have gained some knowledge of the route
taken by Fletcher.

Tuesday night a trunk, containing valuable
wearing apparel, was cut from behind the carriage

In consequence of the promotion of the Rev. Mr.

The Royal Humane Society have awarded two
guineas to three men who rescued the infant of W.
Kelly, of Gascoig,ne-place, Hackney-roud, from his
perilous situation, by having fallen into a well very
difficult to descend, and only wide enough to admit
one man, who secured the child by his feet, while
another received it with one band, being held up by
the legs, and have likewise transmitted a letter of
thanks to Mr. Bowen, the surgeon, of Union-street,
Kingsland-rood, for his indefatigable exertions in
restoring the child to animation.
Melancholy Suicide.—On Wednesday morning a
shocking event took place at No. 80, Sloane-street,
Chelsea. Major Seymour, a flue young man about
25 years of age, bad lately been seriously indisposed,
which brought on a delirium. The nurse who
attended him left the room about three o'clock on
Wednesday morning, leaving a knife upon the table;
he seised the kniti: and cut Isis throat in a most
dreadful manner. Several surgeons were immediately
procured, who used all the means in their power to
recover him, but without avail. He lingered till
nine o'clock, when he expired.

Coursing.—One of the most severe single-handed
courses ever witnessed (and we are aware of nothing
on record equal to it) was ran at Boubunt by a grey-
hound dog, belonging to Thomas Bennett, Esq. of
Broadbridge Farm. The bare stood up before the
dog ten minutes, which will cicmonstl4o to there
wl,o know the sped of the hare, the distance run.
During the course, she twice leapt the mill-stream
where the banks are perpendicular, and which,
being afterwards accurately tincasurtd exceeded 16
feet. After a great number of turns the dog picked
her up in high style, at a short distance irons where
she was started.

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Ocr 20.
BIGNOLD v. BIGNOLD.

The parties in this case was father and son, (the
former the recently dismissed Secretary of the Nor.
with Union Fire and Life Insurance Office), and
the action was brought to recover on a bond fits
3,0001 executed by the defendant iu favour of the
plaintiff
Mr. Gurney for the plaintiff, having proved the
execution of the bond, submitted as a necessary
consequence, that he was entitled to recover.
Mr. Scarlett, for the defendant, resisted the de.
mend, on the ground that the transaction had been
concocted is fraud, and stated the following par.
titulars :—The defendant was paying his addresses
to a young lady of the name of Crew, whose fa-
ther was u man of considerable property ; and his
falter, the present plaintiff, conducted the treaty.
The plaintiff contracted to convey to his son an
estate of the value of 3,0001. in order to enable
him to make a settlement on his wife; by means
of which, and the influence of his connections,
it was expected he would realize an income of
from three thousand to four thousand pounds per
annum. In consequence of this, Mr. Crew agreed
to give his daughter in marriage to the defendant,
with a portion of 12,0001. Previously, however, to
the celebration of the marriage, the plaintiff exected
from his son a bond for 3,0001. refusing, on other
terms, to assign over to him the estate; and to re.
cover the value of this bond, which the defendant
had in this manner been obliged to execute, the pre.
sent action was brought. Atier the bond had been
given, the marriage took place. The Counsel for
the hefendant was proceeding to argue the case in
point of law, when
Mr. Justice Best interposed, observing, that he
had no doubt the plaintiff was entitled to recover in
a Court of Law. If the defence could be successfully
maintained, it must be in a Court of Equity.
Mr. F. Pollock begged leave to state, that emi.
nent Lawyers had been of opinion, that a defence
against such an action could be maintained in a
Court of Law, and cited, in support of his opinion,
the cure of Haton e. Haton; is which it had been
decided, that a particrs criminis (a partner in the
fraud) was entitled to relief
The Judge was of opinion, that the case cited by
the Learned Counsel did not apply, as that case re.
lated to a fraudulent preference given by a bankrupt
to a particular creditor, to the injury of the others;
and repeated his opinion, that in conformity with
the uniform principles and practice of that Court,
the plaintiff was entitled to recover ; the defendant
being left to seek his remedy in a Court of Equity.
Verdict in fisvour of the plaintiff fur 1,0001. being
the amount of the bond. Should the cause come
into a Court of Equity, the defendant in the present
suit will be converted into the plaintiff.

GUILDHALL.

Mr. Dixon. bakr:inFleetstreet, one of the people
termed Quakers, appeared yesterday bcfore Mr. Alder.
man Wood and Mr. Alderman Ansley (cite presence of
two Alagutrates being required by the S 4tisie), to slim
cense why a warrant of distress should not be issued
against him to recover payment of 4/. igs. 3d. due Irma
him fur tithes.

The reasons he reisted this claim was. that the Vicar
of the Parish refused to pray for the copier's according to
the form of prayer set forth by Act of Parliament.
It turned out. however. that it was not !or the spiritual
or ticarial tithes that NIT. J) xon was summoned. bits
those of the lay impropriator. and under three CII.CIIIII.
stances Mr Dixon submitted in the order for payment.

rCO/Egl OF THE MANUFACTURE OF SEDI.
TIOUS AND TREASONABLE PLACARDS.

BOW-STREET. MONDAY, OCT. (6.

This morning, Mr. 'Litton,. of We!heck-street, waited
upon Mr. Hiruie, and apologising for the intrusion,
requested to know if any and what information had been
received at the office from those who went in pursuit of
Franklin, or whether intelligence front any other quarter
had teen received respecting that individual?
Mr. Birnie said, that a•coinmunication had been re-
ceived upon the subject, but lie would rather at present
decline snaking the stature of it public.
Mr. Hay Jon produced a letter which he had received
en Saturday morning from Mr. Pearson, in which be
stated, that he and Vickery had clearly ascertained that
Franklin, alias Fletcher, had embarked a few hours
before for limlogne, and that they were about to sail in
pursuit of him. l'his letter was written in great hurry
at Duvet, dated Friday evening, and Mr. Pearson ex-
pressed the most confident hopes that the fugitive would
In a very short ti,he be in custody.
Mr. Birnie said, the Magistrates had also received a
letter front the same quarter, the contents of which
exactly corresponded with that of Mr. llaydon. and he
had no doubt that the man would soon be in custody.
Mr. Haydon —" Has any bather communication
been received this morning?
Mr. ISiritie inquired of the Clerk, and was informed
that no other letter had come to hand from Dover.

Mr. Haydon produced a gold-mounted eye-glass,
which he said was the property of the fugitive.
:.Jr. Hirnie asked how this came into Mr. Haydon's
possession
Mr. 'Lydon said, it was obtained under very curious
circumstances, which lie was not now at liberty to
relate, but it had been left at a house at which nankin'
was in the habit of calling; and the discovery of this
little article would form by no means an uniturrtant
feature of the investigation.
A great deal of private conversation then took place
between the worthy Magistrate and Mr. Haydon, and
the latter departed.
OsT. 17.
This morning, at eleven o'clock, Mr. Harmer, accom-
panied by Mr. Haydon, attended before Richard Birilie,
E-I. for the ptirpo-e of laying an information against
Mr. O'Bryen, lire pub:lshii% a seditious and inflamma-
tory placard, or posting bill.
The Magistrate being engaged, they were referred to
the Clerk's Oilier for that purpose, when a deposition to
the following effect was made upon oath :
John Junes, of Na. 1, Gardener's-row, Westminster.
being sworn 011 his oath, says—Toat on the night of the
kgth of July, 1840, about eleven o'clock, a gentleman,
deponent has been infinmed, and verily believes,
to be Mr. O'Bry en came to -Ins house in Gardener's-
row, and pulled out a bundle of printed bills, and re-
quested the deponent to post them on the walls from
West 11l i l tster to Smithfield. kc.
This posting bill was one of the most atrocious pro-
ductions that ever issued from the press.
'l'hs deposition being completed, and a warrant filled
up. they were both laid before Mr. Birnie by the parties.
Mr. Birnie signed the warrant, but Nit% Harmer was
not then present, and it remained on the table ready
.to
be staved when the parties applying should call for its
execution. _ _ _

In the course of the evening Mr. Birnie wrote to Mr.
O'Bryen, lamming him of what had transpired, and
requesting his attendance at half-past seven o'clock, at
the same time dispatching a mersenger to respire the
presence of Mr. Harmer at the same hour. In answer
to Mr. Birnie's communication, Mr. O'Brven wrote a
note, declaring that he would come at seven o'clock.
At the appointed hour Mr. O'Bryen came to the
Otlice and had a private interview with Mr. Birnie, and
afterwards entered the public room. After waiting a few
minutes, Mr. Harmer not having made his appearance
the business was postponed to a future day.
WIDSZUMT. OCT. lit.
This day Mr. klaydon waned upon Mr. IMinshull,
the Sitting lagistr.ite, to inquire if any intelligence had
been received from Mr. Pearson and Vickery, or from
any (Alla quarter, respecting the fugitive Fratiklm, and
was answered in the negative.
Mr. Hayden then cutinnunicated some additional
particulars respecting SJIIIC connexions of Franklin,
otherwise Fletcher, which had conic to his knowledge
since Tuesday.
The Magistrate committed these communications to
paper, and politely thanking Mr. Hayden, assured him
lie should be st happy to receive information from
huts at any time, adding, that both he and Sir ltubeit
Baker were t anxious that the offender should be
brought to justice.
Mr. Harlon said he had no doubt, from what he had
seen of the conduct of the worthy Magistrates in this
ailuir, that the declaration of Mr. Nlinbliall was in every
respect sincere.
It is supposed, from the silence of Mr. Pearson, who
promised to be very punctual in his correspondence, that
he lias either succeeded in capturing Franklin, or that
he has obtained some certain information of his route.

The Magistrates of Glasgow have presented an
address to his Majesty, requesting that he would
graciously be pleased to sit tin his portrait, to he

SHIP NEWS.
His Majesty's ship Tyne arrived on Monday at Portsmouth,
from Lima and the Brazils. When she left the former place she
had on bard upwards of three millions of dollars. By this
arrival we learn, that the Hyperion frigate, Captain Searle,
arrived at Valparaiso on the 22d of June, from a cruise of Juan
Fernandes. . _

The Cambrian, Captain Hamilton, is arrived at Portsmouth,
from Plymouth, to take Lord Strangford on board, for Coogan.
tinople.
Lieut. H. blazer is appointed to command the Badger revenue
cruiser, on the Dover station, lice Lieut. Mercer.
The Essex, Mahon, bound to London, put back to Bengal on
the 14th May, having made much water, and shifted her cargo,
during a violent gale.
The Atlas, Short, from New South Wales, was wrecked near
Madras, during a violent hurricane, between the Bth and 10th
of May. Three of the crew drowned.
The Bittern, Thompson, of North Shields, bound to Gotten-
burgh, was abandoasd by the crew on the 211 ult. off the coast
of Norway, ha. ing sprung a leak.
The East India Company's ship Castle Huntly arrived in
Saugur Roads on the 17th of May.
The Nelson, l'eters, arrived at Copenhagen, from Riga, on
the 7th inst. bound to Dundee, leaky, sad would be obliged to

The .lenny, Tureen. from Nairn to Hamlnugh, is on shore
on the rocks, near Lestiernouth.
The General 3liranda and Boa Uniao, from Lisbon to Pars,
have been captured near the latter place.

A most respectable Morning Paper says,—" The
Duke of Rutland, the Duke of Dorset, the Earl of
Lonsdale, and others, went to Windsor Great Park
on Sunday sennight, and had a long audience of
his Majesty. The King is not in the habit of re-
' ceiving company at his cottage in the Park. It is
his retreat from the toils of business; and we may
therefore presume, tnat in the present most critical
state of affairs, the visit of these eminent political
characters was a deviation from the established
privacy of the place. Whether the Noble Peers
waver in their opinions on the Bill of Pains and
Penalties, and were desirous of expressing their
doubts on the subject to the King, or whether
Ministers were anxious to impress on his Majesty's
mind, through these representations, the almost
unanimous sense of time country, that the Bill ought
not to be persisted in, we pretend not to know ; but
• we do not believe that it was an audience of mere
ceremony,"
Monday last, a School at Oxshott, Surrey, called the
Royal Kent School, fro:n respect to the memory of the
late revered Duke of Kent, was opened by the Prince
Leopold, for toe education of the children of the poor

good sense and snmmd judgment, and delivered with
ease, and a very correct pronunciation of the English

tion, and in the most feeling manner adverted to the

alluding to this melancholy event, lie burst into tears,
and Mr some minutes, was unable to proceed. At
length he said, .• You all know my distresses, and will
judge whether I have not ample reason, from personal
experience, to speak highly of the power arid efficacy of

irreparable loss, and to give asy support to every scheme
which has religion for llh ihlaio, gild and totcl-

cluded his very 'incrusting and elovent speech, winch
affected deeply ev, ry one present, with avowing his de-
termination to take Lois selto.il under his intim:chute pi-
tronage and inspecting, and to contribute to its funds,
not only then, but on every future OCCJSI4)II, MINI mo-
ney should he wanted to cairn' on its believed designs.
Various resrkitions of thanks, were then 1110ted
and seconded, by Sir A. Johnstone, Dis. linage,
Schwabe, Collyer, and other gentlemen, and vie com-
pany departd, highly delighted with the proceedings of
the day.
On Sunday four bodies were stolen from the burial
ground belonging to St. Andrew, Holborn, situate
in Eagle and Child Alley, Shoe Lane. The depre-
dators, on being disturbed, deposited the same near
Fleet-market, and absconded. The bodies were
afterwards removed for re-interment.

DREADFUL FlRE.—Wednesday night, a dreadful fire
broke out in North-street, York, by which the corn-
mill of Messrs. L. and J. Simpson, in which it origina-
ted, was consumed, and property to the amount (Wiesen
or souul. was destroyed; to aggravate this calamity, the
gable end of the building, which had been suffered to
stand when the inill was reduced to ruins, fell with
dreadful crash about noon on Thursday, and busied a
number of persons in the ruins. A 'math, the sou of
Mr. Walker, plumber and glazier, was killed upon die

130 x Ne.—Greargporting Pugilistic Match for 100
Guineas a side, between Hickman, the Gas Light Man,
and George Cooper.—Over a sporting dinner at the
Castle Tavern, Holborn, on Tuesday evening last, this
match was made by Tom Belcher on the part of Cooper
(who now resides in Edinburgh, and is the landlord of
the Britannia Tavern, in Leith-street), to take place on
the 20th of December, within 25 miles of London.
To be a fair stand up fight, in a twenty-four foot ring,
and the money to he placed in the hands of Mr. Jack.
son. The Gas Light Man was present,. and betting
commenced very briskly in his favour, frnas the tre-
mendous style with which Hickman defeated Cooper a
few mouths since, 60 to 40 was offered without the least
hesitation; and if it had been required, he could have
been backed for 5001. It is expected to be '2 to I before
the fi.tht commences. Cooper will be in town shortly,
it is said. The fancy are all upon the alert respecting
this match; and it Inds fair to prove one of the must
sporting battles that has occurred for some years. Hick-
-111311 is confident in the extreme as to the result , and
Cooper is also very anxious to recover his lost laurel.
The latter was deliated in the last contest in IS mitintes;
hat it was then urged that Cooper was taken by surprise.
In this new match he intends to keep a better look on'.
That's so be seen yet, says the Gas Man!

AIARTIN AND HUDSON.—This contest, which takes
place on Tuesday next, liar .50 guineas a side, will prove
a most determined one. Martin, the Amateurs assert;
•uglrt to win it, from his sups riot weight, height, and
length ; yet Hudson is the most Jancird, being the better
fighter. The odds are guineas fur pounds, and Hudsoui
for choice.
A fight took place early nit Sunday seennight, in a
field at the top of Park-row, between two young men of
Leeds, tinned S:eyran and Robinson, in which the for-
mer was so much hurt that he was taken up in a state
of insenqibility, and died on his way homel—They had
been drinking together the preceding evening, and Stey-
ran was quite intoxicated. Before he left the public-
house he had repeatedly challenged any one to fight him

EXTRAORDINARY DEPREDATIORTS.—A discovery has
been made within the last few days in the City, which
is likely to prove of the most serious consequence to the
Corporation, and which was brought to light in the
following singular manner:—A gentleman, in the pre.
fession of the law, happening to go personally to his
cheesemonger's for some article, was surprised to see a
number of papers scattered ou the counter, which, on
examining, he discovered to be opinions of the Judaea
and great Law Officers on certain City questions; as also
a untidier of deeds and bonds, executed between the
Corporation and their tenants. After representing to the
sho;ikeeper the great value of those papers, he begged to
' know where he got them ; to which the man answered,
that he was in the habit of purchasing such for waste
paper, from an old woman, whom his predecessor in the
business had represented to him assts old customer. The
gentleman then informed him that he was intimately
acquainted with Mr. Newman, the City Solicitor; that
lie should make it his business to wait on him imme-
diately, and to be careful not to destroy any more of the
papers, but to collect together all lie had of them. This
discovery, as might have been expected, led to an imme-
diate investigation, and suspicion fell on the laundress at
Guildhall, who was accordingly conveyed before the
Alderman, and privately examined, when the cheese
monger proved that site was the same person frons,
whom he had purchased the papers. and she sold'
him sometimes to the amount of 7s. a week, all of
which she stole front Mr. Newman's office. Since her
first examination another shop has been discovered,
where site sold an equal quantity each week. The docu-
ments thus destroyed are of such consequence u to
render the loss irreparable.
