" The political state of this country appears to be in as
great confusion as that of Spain. Alvear aud Carrera are
near Santa Fe, but it is not exactly kuuwn what forces they
have under thews; they probably do not exceed 1,000 ur
1,200 men. If they were assisted, as was reported, by Re-
mises, the Governor of Entre Rios, and Lopez, the Governor
of Santa Fe, they would most likely before oow have made an
attempt on this town for the purpose of placing Aimee at the
head of the goverumeut ; for Can era Must have a person com-
pletely devutrd to him in office here before be eao carry his
viewsun Chili into effect. But these plans are fur the present
disconcerted by Artigas, who has attacked and defeated a
party of 400 of Ramirez's troops in Entre Rios, and possess.
ed himself of the Aunuyu de la Chip'; he afterwards march.
ed towards the jurisdiction of Comptes, whither, it is said,
Ramirez has set out with a body of troops. It is supposed
that, in case of success, hr will annihilate Artigas. These
two provinces remain io a state of anarchy and confusion.
The port of &made de Santa Fe is shut, aud no vessels arc
allowed to pass down or up the river.
" Here we are quiet as yet, but a change is fully expected.
I am inclined to believe that Alvear will eventually be
Governor here, as be ha' a strong party in his favour.
" From Mb we have !Mich to the Bth of Nay: Ito arri-
vals had conic in from Lima. The expedition to sonic part
of the roast of Peru would sail it this mouth."

CEYLON. APRIL 1

On the 27th tilt. the Hon. the Lieutenant-Governor, at-
tended by Mr. Granville, returned to Colombo, from Aram),
atter bong present at this late inspection of the pearl-hanks.
We are informed, that after a very toilsome nod accurate
examination made by Lieutenant-Colonel Hamilton, the su-
perintendent, the 3ludrugam Paar was the only bank found
to yield oysters in a proper state of maturity. Orders have
in eanaseriueoce been given to fish this bank without delay,
which it is estimated will yield about two tars and a half of
oysters. The fishery is made on behalf of govet aliment, and
the oysters are to be disposed of on the beach, in lots ur
utherw:se, as circumstances may render expedient.

RUbilkuud, March 28,1820.
The notorious rebel Bhujah Sing, who has for upwards of
18 rears infested the jungles oil the aorth-east Iroutier oh
the Barclay and Shahjuhanpoor district, commenced his year-
ly di predations in the begiunirg of this niolith, by carrying
off the Zemindars of three villages, for ;Le purpose uf com-
pelling them to ransom their persons. The troops on thin
frontier were divided into small parties, none exceeding 30
men ; but as the force of these marauders was variously esti-
mated from 100 to 300 men, a reinforcement of a Itisaldar
from the Ist RAMAN horse at Barclay, and a party of Sepoys
under Lieutenant Chitty, from Shalijubatipoor, were Mime_
diaindly ordered Out to strengthen the 'out-post, and the
necessary arrangements were made to repress these predatory
incursions.

On the evioinz of the 15th March, Lieutenant Chitty re-
ceived information that Hbujah Sing was encamped in a
thick jitnfile on the bank* of the Chooka Nullah, and at
two um. on the morning of the 16th, imirched to him with
the force under his immediate command, consisting of about
40 &Toys and 20 Sowers.
The. nervy had hiken the precaution to post four piequets
of eighte.itt men each, to prevent a vurptise, one of which
was extended a considerable distance un the road leadiug to
this eucampinent ; but Lieutenant Chitty being apprised of
this, was enabled, by the darkness of the moronic, to move
round them unobserved, and having extend: 41 his men for
the purpose of cutting off the retreat of the enemy (the
thickness of the jut:tit:not permitting them to act in a body),
it insert independent bring commenced, which was minium.'
for about haT au hour, as the rebels retreated along the
banks of the Nullah, when their ammunition being .xpended;
they precipitately fled, and were pursued for nearly two
Mows, until not a man remained in sight.
The Nsib Risahlar, who commanded the Susrars, being
killed at the commencement of the action, and the extreme
intricacy of the jungle ►endering the horses an 'flambe:wee,
one of the enemy's piequets was daring enough to attack
their rear, but after sastainiug a loss of live killed, wa■
compelled to retreat.
The loss of the enemy amounted to 12 1..11er1, among

The people had pillaged the house of the Pro.
curette-General, Thomasi, with the design of sup-
I
plying themselves with the arms which .core there
amassed, and of burning the records of criminal pro.
emelt which were there collected. While the infantry
were assisting the efforts of the mutinous, D. Diego
Nastlli, the King's Lieutenant, and the Proeureur-
General, Thomasi, thought to seek safety in Hight.
M. Thomasi communicated this project in writing-
to M. the Cardinal Archbishop, and sit himself
about executing it with the aid of Kear-Admiral
Staid, by embarking in the packet-boat the Mr-
tar, * small tranvport vessel, which was at anchor
in the road off Palermo. Scarcely had D. Diego
embarked when his hotel was pillaged and reduced
to ashes, together with that of the Rear•Adtuiral,
who had favoured his flight. But the fury
of the people raged mostly against the Prince of
Cattolica, and the Ex-Commander, Aceto, who,
it was said, had, in the Council held during the
night of the 16th and 17th, traitorously advised
that the people should be driven from the forts by
the troops, and delivered up to carnage. Al. Aceto
was seized oil his flight ; as he had the good fortune
to turn aside from himself the suspicion of tressott,
he was only shut up under a strong guard in the
Archiepiscopal Palace. The lot of the Prince of
Cattolica was more terrible. He had taken refuge
in a louse in the suburb.. Betrayed by his omit
people, lie-was delivered over to the fury of the
populace, who finished his sufferings by chopping
off his head and quartering his body. In the
iutrr-
val, the fort on the Mole surrendered, the garrison
was drawn out as prisoners, and secured, with other
soldiers, already captured. The cannons were peMted
against the door of the prison, to exterminate the
prisoners should they seek by any means to escape.
The number of those who have been killed or
wounded, on either side, in these days of carnage, is
truly frightful. The Journals have stated that
there were three or four thousand victims. The
number is evert more considerable. Among the
dead are, Colonel Luchesi, Lieut.-Colonel Ter-
mini, and the Duke de Vaticani. The rumour that
the Prbres of Villafrinca, Cuto, and Piiterae had
perished, is not confirmed. The rest of the day
(17th) passed in the vilest and incarceration of sol-
diers who were overtaken. The night followin.4 was
more tranquil. On the morninz of the 18th, there was
fresh shirmishing in the suburb., until the remain-
der of the soldiers were either dispersed, or but
io the prisoo' of the galley slaves. The fury of the
populace did not appear even yet appeased. They
pillaged the house of the Advocate Paolo, senior
Fiscal-General of the Court of Justice, and that
of the Marquis Ugo, Directeur of Police. The
citizens thereupon interposed, and stopped the ra-
ears of the vagabonds and wretches without any
abode. In tile noon of the 18'h the rumour
spread that General Church, who had the forces
of Trapani, was marching at their head woes Pa-
lermo ; this caused new movements among the peo-
ple. The Junta of Goverment, which had heen
formed alter the departure of the King's Lieutenant,
was busied about the means of securing the galley
prisons. and the prisoners escaped front the slave-
holds and gaols, and driving the peso:mts and other
bad subjects front the city to the different neigh-
bourhoods front whence they had come.
hs' the Hight of the 18th and 19th, several of the
cannon which had been pointed against the prison
where the soldiers were confined, were spiked. The
keeping of the cannon had been confided to the
coast artillery fartiglieri !introit). The people
pillaged the houses of their chief. named St-

It was no the morning of the 11th that a King's

Clubs were formed, and deliberatio►ts held au the
fate of Sicily, and they resolved that that island ought
to be independent of Naples► as in ancient time..

To the tricoloured cockade already adopted dive

Strangers were obliged to wear the yellow ribband,
with the cockade of their own country. In the
evening the public walks were full of inhaliitarn4,
with these cockade... The Carbonari wet- !lit-ft
also, with their colours. It was posted on the walla
that the King of Naples had, on the 7th, actsepteil

cule of the people, who hastily toraidowil the Kcig'•
arms from the notice in which the news WA% WI.
nuuaced. The name of tit.- Minister Tommiro,

The evening was terminated by the procession tit

the Archbishop of that city, the Cardinal Graviva,
and the different authorities assisted. The l'insgc

the cry, with the addition of "Vire fa Troupt de,
