THE PECTORAL ELIXIR. Experience
during a very long period, has incontestably proved
the superior efficacy of this Medicine, in all cases of Colds,
Coughs, and Asthmatic Affections. By proiroting
,gentle
expectoration, it very shortly relieves the Patient of a slight
or recent Cold,, and a few dimes are generally sufficient to
remove those which neglect has rendered more confirmed and
obstinate, and which are accompanied with Cough, Spitting
of Blood, and other serious symptoms. Its peculiar balsamic
powers tend to heal soreness, and allay the irritation of the
lungs, in cases of Cough ; tied in Asthmatic Affections it as.
sifts and gives freedom to the Breath.

SHOCKING EVENT.

We have just received a letter from Calais
which relates the following shocking event
" About three months ago, a young woman was
found murdered in her cottage at Cassel, her
brains beat out with a hammer, which was found
near the body. As she never had been known to
have quarrelled with any person in the town, and
her wretched poverty excluding the idea that it
was done for plunder, suspicion fell upon an idiot
brother residing with her, who was arrested and
thrown into prison, where he has remained ever
since. His trial was to have taken place next
week. It happened in this as it very often does in I
such cases, that the guilty person by some unac.
countable incident should betray himself. One
of the Judges on his route to Cassel, stopping to
bait his horse at a little public-house, about a
league from it, joined a number of people (most
of them of the lower order) in the common room,
(this in France is thought nothing of, where
equality is the order of the day), the late murder
and expected trial, was the subject of conversa-
tion when he entered, one of the party was
describing the situation the poor woman was
found in, when the ostler care in to say the horse
was ready ; some exclamation which escaped him
on hearing the horrid picture the person was
drawing, induced the Judge to have him arrest-
ed. The following morning he was brought up
and charged with the murder, he denied it firmly ;
the Judge told him it was useless to do so, that
he had been seen, " seen, says the ostler, losing
all presence of mind, that could not be, for I had
bolted the door, and no person, I am certain, was
in the cottage ;" on recovering from Ms stupor,
and finding further denial useless, as he had con-
demned himself, he confessed being the mur-
derer. The strangest part of the story is that the
wretched man does not appear to have had any
motive whatever for committing the crime;, ho
went into the hut in passing for a draught of
water; the deceased got up to give it to him, when
the sight of the hammer suspended over the
chimney, struck him with the idea that he ought
to murder her ; he immediately bolted the door,
snatched down the hammer, and as the poor
woman raised her head from the pail she was
getting the water from, to see what occasioned
the noise", struck her a violent blow on the

emple, which killed her, as she never utterer!
,he slightest groan, then repeated his blows until

the licit' was literary beaten to pieces, drank the
water and walked home to the public-house above
mentioned, and that he had never thought of it
since, until hearing the peasant relate thv affair
in the way which he did, the enormity of WI
crime appeared to him."

PERU.

•
EXTRACT OF A LETTER, yeeTEO LIMA, AUG. 16.
We consider it important to mention to you
. for the information of our commercial friends in general, that
the conduct of the Spaniards during their stay with us was
very contrary to what we expected, anti indeed what we were
led to believe, in consequence of the assurances made by Gene.
ral Camerae, the Spanish Chief, to Captain Prescott, of' his
Majesty's ship Aurora—viz. that all British persons and pro-
perty would be respected, and which assurance was verbally
given by the General to Captain Prescott, the day on which he
entered Lima, and afterwards in writing. It Ives iNnerall
supposed, that in consequence of this assurance he (entente)y would respect British property wherever he found it; but con-
trail, to, and in direct opposition to said assurance, confiscated
British property which was in the Custom-house warehouses
tin bond) to a very considerable amount, and after taking such
goods as were calculated to supply the wants of his army, he
sold to the merchants who came down with him from the
Sierra and. Intermedios, as many goods as they had the means
to carry off with them ; and as he had no mules to convey what
remained, eventually, on a representation of the British mer-
chants, issued an order that those which had goods in the Cus-
totn.house might receive what remained on paying to them a
dui of4o per cent.
We sincerely hope that our Government at home will take
notice of this, and that our countrymen may be enabled to re-
cover of the Spanish Government the amount of the property
confiscated.
Rive Aguero, the President of Peru, fled to Truxillo from
Callao, accompanied by several members of the Congress : his
first act was to deny the authority of the right of the Congr!sa
to, controul him in any measure which he thought might be
conducive to the welfare of Peru, and iintnedietely issued an
order or decree dismissing the Congress, and actually irnpri-
I zoned several members of it ; he then formed a Senate of 12, of
his own choosing, and placed himself at their head—banishtil
seven members of the Congress, and shipped them on board of
a vessel for the Interinedios ; but their provisions getting scarce,
obliged them . to put into a small port between Truxillo and
Callao for a supply, when they made their escape, and arrived here on the lst inst. They have since re-established the Con-
gress, and have declared Rive Aguero and all his followers
traitors to the state; and it Is reported he is marching u
Gpon
Lima at the heed of 3,000 men, to_ place himself of the o.
vernment. The Marquis of Torre Tagle is now Governor of
Lima,
AUGUST 2./.—By accounts from Arica, it appears that
Santa Cruz broke up his camp at 3loquehera.on the appears
ultimo,
anti was proceeding with his army in two divisions toward La
Paz. The Spaniards had left the city of Arequipa!, and Don
Porto Carrero, a Patriot chief, held command' of the place.
The Patriotic army, under Santa Cruz, had passed on front
that city in their advance upon La Par, one divison occupy-
ing the Desaguadero, the other the district of Puna. Don
Lenses, a Patriot leader, with about 2,000 men, was await-
ing_the arrival of General Santa Cruz, at or near La Paz.
The two expeditions which sailed from here a short time
back under General Sucre and Colonel Miller, had arrived in
the In termed los, and were alto advancing to support Santa Cruz.
Camerae, who was by our former accounts at lea with his
division and that of Loriga, had retreated by the Cordilleras
for Humanga, but both divisions have suffered severely by .the
attacks of the mountancror (mountaineers) during their retreat.
After passing the Sierra, Canterae was concentrating his forces,
so that a very little time will elapie before something decisive
will be accomplished.
Atm UST 22.—The independent forces amount to ten thou.
sand men, Colombians and Peruvians, and they are, in daily
expectation of reinforcemerits from Chile to the number of three
. thousand. They are commanded by Generals Sucre and Sante
Cruz, who distinguished themselves at Quito; and, by our
brave countryman, General Miller, who has distinguished
himself every where. The Spanish forces, under the commend
of Generals Canterac and Baldez, amounted to nine thousand
men, of whom not above six hundred ate Buropeans. The
rest ure Indians pressed into the service, and lighting to con-
tinue the slaves they were originally made by the Spaniards.
The Viceroy has his seat of Government at Cuzco, which,
as It was the original capital of the Incas, seems destined to be
the last hold of their invaders. There can be but little doubt
but that Laserna (the Viceroy) is destined to lay down the
sceptre where Pizarro took it up.
General Bolivar is expected here, ellort4, and will take upon
himself the direction, of the
,campaign. In the mean time the
Patriots have every possible advantage not only of position,
while their enemy is yet contending with the difficulty of his
much back from Lima, but in the tsar more important point of
diffusing-their Sehtireents and spreadingtheir spirit among the
inhabitants of the interior, who have been hitherto in subjection
to the Spaniards.
The scene of military action will,extend from Cuzco to Po.
tosi. Upon the latter place a division of the Patriot army is
marching under General Santa Cruz; upon the former one
under Generals Sucre, and .hiller; while the Independent
General Genuine ieinveating Arequim

ITALIAN TALES.—TaIes of Humour, Gallantrr, and Mance, selected and turedated from the
,Itnhan.
Of the numerous works fOr young people,
which commonly make their appearance at this
festatseasOn, we have seen few that have given
us-greater pleasure than the Malian Tales. They
consist of Tales of Humour, Gallantry, and Ro-
mance, translated from the Italian, and the
Editor has performed a grateful office in weeding
the Italian Novel of its pruriency, and giving the
public a selection of this class which will not offend,
while it createslaughter,nor pollute while it amuses.
There are sixteen admirable designs by GEORGE
CRUI CKSHA ; and had we not previously pos.
cc seised that Artist's clever performances, the. Ge 17121471 Stories," and the " Points of flu-
mour,",we should certainly have given him cre-
dit for a rapid advance and Improvement in his
drawings, which, set thick in this: handsomely
printed (though low priced) volume, are truly
beautiful. The Tales. are.seventeen in number,
and the titles are The Teacher Taught ; the Un.
expected Reply; Who I ? The Dead Rider;
The Skilful Physician; The Pomegranate Seed;
The Fatal Mistake; The Dead Alive ; The
False Champion.; The Merchant of Venice ; A
Skeleton in every House; The Elopement ; The
Friar Entrapped; Antonio and Veronica ; Bel-
pliagor, or Domestic Happiness; The Sleeping
Drought ; The Counterparts.
We select one as a specimen of the translation,
it is a pretty moral lesson, and its shortness an-
s wers our purpose best.
" There was at, Naples a lady of the, name of
Corsina, horn at. Capovana, and wife of a noble
cavalier, whose name was Messer Ramotido de'
Balzo.

At happened, after some years, that heaven was
leased to deprive this lady of her husband, and
she was left a widow, with an only son, whose
name was Carlo. This youth possessing all the
excellent qualities anil endowments of his father,
became the mother's idol and only care. She be-
thought herself, that it would be greatly to, his
advantage to seed, him to Bologna, to pursue his
studies, in order that he might hereafter become
great man. Having made up his mind to this,
she gave him a, tutor, provided him with books,
and every thing that could make him comforta-
ble, and sent him away with a tender mother's
blessing. There for several years she maintained
lam with every comfort he could wish. The
youth, having every, advantage, Unproved great.
ly, and became an excellent scholar, and by his
gentlemanlike manners, correct conduct, and
great talents, had gained the affection of all his
fellow collegians. It happened, that having be.
come, after some years, a doctor In law, and being
nearly on the eve of his return to Naples, be was
taken seriously ill, whereupon all the best phy-
sicians of Bologna anxiously endeavoured to save
his life, but had no hopes of success. Carlo, per-
ceiving he was a lost man, said to himself, I do
not care so much for myself, as for my poor,
dear mother, who will no longer have a son, for
whom she has sacrificed her all, and who, she
expected, would become her consolation, who
might 'form Mile great alliance, and thereby
restore our family name. Now if she hears lam
dead, and has not the comfort of seeing me once
again, she will assuredly die with excessive grief.
This reflection, more, than the loss of his own life,
overwhelmed him with sorrow. This thought, ever
uppermost in his mind, suggested the idea to him
of contriving some means to prevent his, mother from
being overpowered by her grief; he therefore im-
mediately wrote to her in the following words
64 My dearest mother, I do intreat that you would
be kind enough to get me a shirt made by the most
beautiful and the most happy Lady you can find
in Naples, she who is mo..t free from the cares or
sorrows of this. world." The letter being dis-
patched, and coming to band, the mother im►ne-
dietely considered of the means of the satisfying
this request, and how she could find one; she
inquired among all her acquaintanses where she
could meet such am, unconcerned, and in-
different, and easy minded woman ; but
the task was arduous; yet she was determined
to do her son's will. The Lady, however,
searched to such effect, that she at last found one,
who appeared so cheerful, so beautiful, no happy,
and so unconcerned, that she seemed incapable
of feeling a single unpleasant thought. Madame
Corsina, fancying she had found the very person
she was in search or,. went to the lady, who re.
ceived her very politely. Madame► Corsina said
40 her, 46 Can you guess what I am come for ?

it is because looking upon you as the most cheer,
ful lady in Naples, and 'the freest from painful
thoughts or troubles; I wish to ask you a very
great favour, that is, that you would make a
shirt for me with your own hands, that I may
send it to my son, who has earnestly intreat.
ed me to get it made by such a one as your-
self." The young lady answered, " You
say you consider me the most cheerful young
woman in Naples." 44 Yes," said Madame
Corsina. " Now," added the lady, " I will
prove to you it is quite the reverse, and that
there never was born, perhaps, a more unfortu-
nate woman than myself, or who has more sor-
rows and heavy afflictions, and that you may be
convinced of this," said she, " come with me;"
and, taking her hand, she led her into an inner
chamber, where, drawing aside a curtain, she
pointed to a skeleton which was hanging from a
beam : upon which Madame Corsina exclaimed,
ccOh, heavens! what means this ?" The young
lady mournfully sighed, then said, 64 This was a
most worthy youth, who was in love with me ;
my husband finding him with me, caused him
directly to be hullos you see ; and to increase

honour they had conferred on Mtn.
The Earl of Rossr.msaid he felt himself unable to do
justice to the character of that eminent nobleman, the late Earl
Of Hopetoun, and hirejoiced that it was not necessary to pro-
nounce an elaborate panegyric, for the Mieting•knew too well
that on such occasions it was customary to take a largo license,
but he thanked Ged that on this no such necessity existed.
Here no concealment was required nor any, excitement to ex-
tenuate the truth necessary; the simple unadorned facts would
bear him out.in all he had to.say, and lie need onlyrecal to their
recollection the conduct and ttraitues of the distinguished Noble-
man, and appeal to their memory for his gallantry and worth.
The late Earl of Ilopetoun, in his profeasional.capaeity, was
eminent and distinguished, his talents and abilities were. well -
known, and it might appear unnecessary to dilate on them MM.

PARIS PAPERS.

[.From the Etaile.l
Manion, Nov. 29.—The famous Empecinado
lets been made prisoner by a detachment of the
Royal Volunteers. It is Affirmed that the Com-
mandant of Segnafiel, conformably to orders from
the Commandant-General of Old Castile, has or-
dered the volunteers to liberate this rebel Chief,
executioo of the capitulation of Radajot. The
Restaurador affirms, that in spite of this order,
the Empecinado is still detained, and protests
against the scandalous example of acknowledging,
Its it were, inviolable, a rebel who has not yet
submitted to the Royal authority.
The Gazelle of Madrid indignantly refutes
te
the assertion of the Jacobin journats of Park,
which have dared to state that the corpse of
Laudaburu have been exhutnated by the people,
. and dragged through the streets. That officer
vas a rebel to his King, and doubtless a great
crirnival ; bat the Spanish Royalist inhabitants
,are too religious not to respect the sanctuary of

sued by the King our Sovereign :
DECREE
" The Xing our Sovereign, always bearing in mind the fide.
.city and zeal with which many of his faithful subjects, braving
the severest .fatigues and the greatest dangers, abandoned their
interest and repose to take up arms, which they have only laid
the
down after having crowned their noble enterprise by
wish-
ed-for re-establishment of his Majesty in tho full exercise of
• sovereignty, and wishing to give a mark of his satisfaction
to.all who have formed part of the Royalist armies, whether
poi volunteers or levied in mass, and who yet remain under
colours to the great detriment of their affairs and families,
has resolved, that with the least possible delay the chiefs of
the said Royalist corps should lbrward to their inspectorsir
Alia of all the corporals, drummers, and soldiers, under the
orders, in order that when these lists have been forwarded to
the. Ministry, absolute discharges may be transmitted W those
who desire to return to theft homes. Particular mention shall
.be'roade of those who have infirmities which render them unfit

to services.
" The greatest exertions and promptitude are recommended
by the libigin the execution of this measure, the intention of
his Majesty being, that these faithful subjects may eturn
Lathe bosom of their families .assoort as possible, without pre-
judice to particuhrr rewards to those who may have particularly
44tinguished themselves. Dated November 28."
DECREE 11.
" The fidelity of my people, and the vexations they have
'suffered in consevence of their attachmentto my person, and.
the painful Situation to which they have been reduced by the.
democratical faction which has governed them, call most par.
• titularly for my sovereign attention, and require my paternal
.solicitude, to dry their tears and heal their wounds. My desire
would he to remedy immediately all their evils, and to raise
their opulence above that of all the other nations of Europe.
" It is, however, impossible for me to enjoy promptly this
sweet satisfaction, since the Royal. Treasury is exhausted by
the dilapidations of the rebels, and the State has charges which
It is far from being able to meet. Whatever obstacles oppose
my beneficent wishes, lam firmly resolved to neglect nothing
to attain the end 1 have proposed—the relief of my well-beloved
subjects. They will receive this new proof of my goodness us a
• maric of my gratitude for their numerous sacrificesin the andhappy
their
virtues. Spain is now no longer what it was
• times of my august predecessors; an uninterrupted course of
wars, troubles, 4 and misfortunes, has displayed the fidelity of
my people, plunging them at the same time into poverty."
• The King then orders all possible reductions to be made in
the number of persons employed in all the branches of admi-
nistration, as well as that the salaries should be reduced to the
naninnon, necessary to a functionary to preserve the decorum of
. his place. The decree is dated November 27, and is .counter.
