PARIS, JAN. 17.,4 send you an extract fans
the last will and testament of BUONAPARTE,
posing of sums of money which he claims as bi
property, to those friends and servants who
followed him in his exile, or whom he tbouret
faithful to him in his different changes of fortyPe'
It is printed here, and handed about privatelit
in the shape of a small pamphlet, but ean neither
publicly be sold, nor is. it allowed to he copied
into the Journals. I have made inquirieS ab°l-1,,
its authenticity, and have heard that.no dons"
need be entertained on the subject. Besides this
testament, of which an extract is here subjoined,
the ex-Emperor /eft a kind of political will::
which speaks of higher things, and disposes °I
larger sums. This latter document, which is
the possession of M. DUPIN, has as yet been,
known to very .few persons, and will for serl'e
time at least be kept a secret from the publi";
hilt the prisoner of St.. Helena disposes of ;i3'
almost Imperial fortune, of 40 millions of frocci
to public institutions, to particitlar classes, a"'
for political purposes. It would be curious t'
learn how such a treasure was acquired, and 1311°...
NAPARTE does not conceal the fact. , As Erin"'"
ror, he enjoyed a civil list of 24 millions a year'
and out of this, by living within his income, b!
saved 10 millions every year for the four yel'r"
before his marriage.. .After his return from itus;
sia, or during the Russian expedition, lie ordrr2fi
all those savings'to be lent for the public service,:
This loan he reclaims in his will, and disposes'
it in a manner of which I shall probably be
in a few days to inform you. 'After this, nobody
need wonder that the Pon:, on the discovery 0;
America, thought himself entitled to the dispose
of the western world':—

ile• A Petition having been presented to the
Chamber of Deputies, Praying that the progres-
'3ive extirpation of the French forests might be
Prevented by a legislative enactment, lest
.it
ar'ioald become necessary for France (in which
thither is already scarce), to import the timber of
°tiler countries, several Members of the Commis-
s:°ll seemed at first inclined not to interfere,
" the principle of the moderh theorists, that
('
it is best to let land-owners act-as they please,
(t)ll3idering that their own . interest -will always
be
the safest guide ;" not only to lead to their
ow°, but to the general -prosperity ! But, seve-
rs'
orators having with great ability pointed out
41' danger of suffering France to become depen-
onnton foreign countries for so indispensable an
tti
-it cle as timber,. the petition was ultimately re-
fe'rell to the Finance Committee. The fallacy
of the fashionable Economists may be made very
'fl.ident by supposing that the speculations of in-
,dilduals were rapidly exhausting the British
coal
mines, that coals had in consequence al-
r"dY become dear and scarce, and that there
the certainty before us, unless a check
we"
te put to the destructive speculations by which
the scarcity was occasioned, that we shou:d
t
rt!edily be rendered dependent on other coun-
tries for an article so indispensable to our manu-
, f,ctures, and to our convenience and comfort.
lhe Theoretical Economists, though they saw
uiri practically approaching, would cling to their
Ptin •
cipte,—tell us that the best way to promote
the
Pnbiir interests is to suffer individuals to con-
t'et their transactions in that way which to them
4eems them
the best,—and gravely remark that " in
trd,

ti
must be independent." Nothing can be more

RUVOLLITION IN TIIC BRAZILS.—The Balti-
moie Patriot of Tuesday eveiting..states, that a
passenger was put on board the steam boat
. .
Vii-
gtnea, on her passage up this place, on Monday
' last, from the brig Residegion, 36 days from Per-
nambuco, which sailed the 10th Nov. He states,
that there had been a complete Revolution
throughout the Brazils. The Governor and Staff
had been shipped off from Pernambuco, and the
Prince Royal had been '.sent from Rio Janeiro.
The same state of things existed at St. Salvador
and Monte Video. There was some resist:-Ince
made at Pernambuco:bythe Royal troops, but,
after about one hundred being. killed, they were
compelled to surrender.—All the ports were
thrown open; flour dull at six millrees. Provi-
sional Governments were established, and every
thing had become tranquil. It is also said that
the Patriot General ARTIGAS was a prisoner at
Buenos Ayres.—(l.47o7fak Beacon, Dec. 24.)
K INGSTON, JAMAICA, Nov.lo.—The schooner
Dispatch, of this port, which was captured on
the night of the 10th September, while lying at
anchor at the Isle of Pines, by a piratical boat,
has been recaptured by a vessel fitted out at
Trinidad for that purpose, and carried in there.

Arived on Saturday mowing at Portsmouth the Owen Glen,
dower frigate, 42 guns, Cap:ain the Hon. R. C. SPENCER,
from South America. She left Valparaiso on the 10th October,
prior to which the Creole frigate arrive from Callao, with in.
formation that that town had been relieved by 3,000 men under
Generals Cantarac and Valdez, which had checked the Pa-
trietic cause. General San illartin offered them battle on
their march, which they avoided: The Dauntless had ar-
rived at Lima fto specie. Thomas Hardy was at Val-
paraiso, in the Creole ; Superb, at Callao; Conway, at Con-
ception ; Blossom and Alacrity-, on passage round Cape Horn ;
Aurora and Beaver, at Rio ; Doris, at Pernambuco. , The Au.
rora was about to proceed with a freight to Bahia. The

Superb was to sail for England the latter end of December.—
Nothing particular had occurred at Rio Plata. Carrari, the
commanding General of one of the parties there, who was con-
tending against the Chili= Government, had been taken pri-
soner, and shot at Mendoza. The Owen Glendower left Rio
Janeiro on the 23d November. She.brings home a million and
a half of dollars, on merchants' account, shipped at Valparaiso.
Captain Chasmam, late of the Superb, and Captain O'Brien,
late of the Slaney, are passengers in her. The Owen Glen-
dower is this only ship at Spithead. The following letter, with
which we have been favoured, contains many other interesting
particulars of the state of South American affairs :—.
" His Majesty's ship Ownen Glendower, January 19.
" The Owen Glendower left Valparaiso on the 10th of
October, arrived in Rio Janeiro, November 17th—sailed on
the 23d.
" The city of Lima was evacuated by General La Serna on

the sth of July, wad entered by San Martin and Lord Coeh.

rane on the Bth, who were received without any great enthu-
siasm, although the General had been earnestly invited in by
the Authorities left by La Serra, to quiet the apprehensions the
inhabitants.entertained of a general riming of the blacks, and, of
a sacking by the numerous bodies of Indian Guerillas or Noun
taineers that surrounded the town.

" San Martin, by various judicious Proclamations, and
very moderate behaviour, sueceedod,-apparently, in -men=
ciling all orders to their new liberators ; he invited all
Spaniards to return to their business and occupations within
three dayi after the 19th of July, under penalty of confiscation
of their goods, and granting 24 days to those who were not con-
tent with the present new order of things to transport themselves
out of the country, for whom he would provide ships. He pro-
claimed himself Protector of the Independence of Peru, until
Peru was free, and a National Congress assembled,' when he
declared he would be ready to seek the quiet he had long sighed
after, by resigning his authority to a Governor or Director of
their own appointment. All slaves born after the 28th of July
are free. The tribut& of the Indians abolished for ever._
The natives of Peru shall be no longer called Indians,' or
Natives,', but ' Peruvians.' All compulsory labour of Peru-
vians' abolished for ever. The Spanish Constitution abolished,
being declared a system to enslave the people under laws cal-
culated to make a small portion of Europe happy at the ex-
pense of the New World.

" Lard Cochrane attacked Callao late in July, with the boats
of the squadron, and got possession. of three or four decayed
hulks, with some loss. Two English ships in the harbour
suffered some damage from the attack; one of the masters was
so dangerously wounded that his life was despaired of, The
Sap Martin, of 60 guns, Lord Cochrane's ship, was lost going
into Chorines (a port close to Callao) to discharge, together with
`all the corn and goods of various kinds that she had been col-
lecting on the coast in several months. These goods had been
mostly taken out of British ships, in lieu of duty, to the amount
of 18 per cent. extorted by Lord Cochrane for permission to trade
on the coast; to be completed to 22 per cent. if sales were effected.
Sir T. Hardy, in a negociation, with the Superb, 74, in com-
pany, has induced his Lordship to forego this practice for the
future. Lord Cochrane's squadron were altogether in a most
ruinous condition. The ships laden with provisions, principally
corn, which had beer: in great numbers Awaiting the fall of
Lima, in the adjacent ports, were only allowed to disiembark
small quantities at a time, that the enemy might not on any
sudden surprise find a supply in Lima.
" On the 27th
,of September his Majesty's ship Creole, with
Sir T. Hardy's pendant, arrived at Valparaiso in fourteen days
from Lima, and brought intelligence of the relief of Callao,
early in the month (the port of Lima, into which many Spa-,
niards, with their property, had taken refuge), by Geperal
Cantarac, in the face of the Liberating Army. It was also
said that La Serna was advancing with .reinforcements from
the interior ; but the strength of the Indian Guerillas there-
abouts, and other circumstances, render that • not quite worthy
of credit. The constant policy of San Martin has been to avoid
'fighting a general action, and Gen. Ricaforte, whom the Owen
Glendower brought wounded to Rio Janeiro, and who had a
chief command in Lima for sonie time, declared the wisdom of
it was undoubted, as the loss of a battle would be irremediable
'to the Patriots.

" At Lima trade was mosey, of course, at a stand—the
relief of Callao had damped the spirits of the British merchants
in Chili, where the market was overstocked with our manufac-
tures; but much was still expected, from the new levies San
Martin was making at Lima, of all men between 16 and 40
years of age.

" The ilrazils were quiet, and patiently waiting She deter-
mination of the Cortes respecting their claims and petitions.
Buenos Ayres was tolerably settled under Rodriguez," and the
English merchants were again venturing to send convoys of
goods into the interior, which, sincetthe death. of Ramirez: and
Carrera, had become much s,ifer and, more tranquil."

BRIGHTON, JAN. 19.—The' KING left the Pa-
vilion in his travelling carriage, at eight o'clock
on Thursday morning for Carlton-Palace; and,
s%e are happy to state, returned in excellent
health at half-past four yesterday afternoon. Sir
