The news from Peru, as brought by a vessel
from _Jamaica, and published itt the various
rapers of yesterday, continues to excite conflict-
111g opinions, notwithstanding it is evidently de-
void of even the slightest probability, not only
in reference to the dates, but also the accom-
panying:circumstances alluded t 0..: ...Under date
at the 13th of May. from Truxillo, the • public
are ,told„ " that the Royalist Chief Olaneta,
after having..beaten General Carratafa, Who had
followed him with au equal force, and taken hiM
prisoner, had consented to serve tho patriotic
cause,!' &c. :It is a fact we conceive undeniable,
that Olaneta has. for some time commanded in

Upper Peru,:having.his head-quarters usually in
PotosL-- The distance from the latter place -to:
Truxillo •is least 650 leagues, by the most
direct road it is possible to travel, and Most as-
suredly this distance cannot be performed by a
couriee, well mounted, in less' than 35 days, and
more would be required, when it is considered..
that the whole of the intervening country is in
possession of an enemy. Granting, howeVer, only
3.5 days, this would bring the date of the event
to about the 25th of March. The distanCe from
Potosi to Buenos Ayres is travelled in I.days,
and such an occurrence as this would-uaturally
be transmitted by express. Wo have advices
from Buenos Ayres, under several dates in the
month of May, and up to the Ist of June, and
not a word is -said of this singular emit. The
following extract we have copied from a highly
respectable letter, and it explains the state of
affairs in Upper Peru towards the middle of
April

the media/not Valdes, has made an arrangement with Olitneta,
and a coMplete understanding has been restored. Olaneta is

this may suit the indians of Lower Peru but
we • hope it will not add one to the number of

of their .own credulity, or the dexterous manner
in which they and the public have been deceived.

We txtblished the other day an abstract of a
lute Report on subjects of Irish Revenue, It is
nut itt present our object to enlarge upon the
points embraced in that Parliamentary Document,
but to. Withdraw attention to what appears att
juriouifdisCrepency between the unties' on glass
in Greet Britaitrand Ireland. The manufacture
itself is in every respect, deserving of encourage:-
ment. . Glass is at once an article of luxury and
utility, the materials of which abound in all parts
ihn United Kingdom. It is, therefore, not ex-
traordinary, that it should have arrived, not With-
sttinclinit the heavy clogs, imposed by the Excise
in this tountry, ;at considerable perfection. In
irl,ifindi4oo., where the duties are Much lower,'
both the blowing and cutting of glass are branches
of lhdtrsttry,, which 'have been zealously eulti-
vated,enrol. with great sareeas. Irish glass, how-
.
ever,, onAmportation. into ii,:ugt,Sind, is: subjected
to imposts equal to those on British glass, and thus
the consumption of the article is here restrained,
while its production Oil Ithe other aide of the Chan-
nel is preportiOnably 'checked: 'Would it cot be ud-

do not wish, nevertheleis, to, be dogmatical on
the subject, but rather to solicit inquiry into the
real state of the manufacture, with a view to the
removal': of restrictions allowed' in other but r .
milar cases to be generally detriMental; In line,
we call upon
.the parties most immediately con-
cerned to do their duty to themselves, to the
public,, and • the Government. Can they doubt
the liberality of the Chancellor of the Exchequer
and his enlightened Colleagues, where the in-
terests of commerce are involved, whatever pre-
sent and temporary_ sacrifice may be thus in-
curred by the revenue ?

Whatever may have been the real importance
of the late affair at Tarifa, to which, as an ope-
ration against the a=xisting system, we ourselves
continue to attach little or none, it is not altoge-
ther unfruitful of instruction as to the nature of
that Power which now exercises the government
of what was the Spanish Monarchy. In fact, it
is no longer a Spanish Government at ell, no
more than it was a French Government when
Philip V. held only the ground that he encamped
upon, or when Joseph and Jourdan were driven
pell-mell from Vittoria across the Pyrenees. Spain
is at this moment, howeer, a purely French pro-
vince. The whole of the operation against
Tarifa was directed and performed by a French
Officer, while a Spanish Captain. General look-
ed on. As a general rule, the Spaniards
are forbid to approach the royal residences of the
French-descended Ferdinand : passports under
the seal of a French functionary have the privilege
of constituting exceptions to this gracious andil
politic rule. Spaniards nre not to be the exclu-
sive body-guard of the King. Spanish garrismis
are turned out of every post of which the French
military desire to possess themselves. It is a
French military occupation from top to toe ; and,
disguise it how they -will, Spain is a province of
Louis XVIII. as much as either Normandy or
Languedoc. Whether this renders France more
formidable, is another question ; or whether En-
glish jealousy ought not rather to be allayed
than excited by such a millstone hung about the
neck of an avowed rival. It is like the wecession
to a bankrupt estate, or like the chaining of alive
body to a carcass. A pretty end this for an ad
venture commencing with rt cordon sunitaire !

[MORNING HERALD.]
It appears that yesterday there was a Meeting
of the Parishioners of St. Botolph, Aldgete, to
take into consideration the propriety of a parish
übscription, for the purpose of opposing the lay
irnpropriator of
.that parish fn his attempt to tax
tvery house 2s. 9d. in the pound. it certainly
does appear to be a heavy tax to pay on every
house and shop ; on 1501. rental, this lax would
amount•to 20/. 12s. 6d. which would probably be
as much us is paid to the King. As to the right
of the lay-impropriator to levy that tax, we ap.
prebend there is not much doubt ; and that when
the decision of the Lord Chancellor is obtained,
such a right will be found to exist. Into the
question of Tithes we do not outer, but some
have asserted, that when the tenth was given
to the Clergy, it was with these couditions—that
one-third should be employed in keeping in re-
pair the churches, one-third in maintaining the
poor, and the other third to belong to the incum-
bent for the time being. Whether those who
have asserted that such was the original appor-
tioning of the tenth are correct, we know not,
but if they are, a very different application is
made of the tenth. Our opinion is, that lay im-
proprietors should be cautious lest they curry their
right levy too far, for the whole thing, in the long
run, might give way, as it did in France, and as
It was in Spain till France interfered. Besides,
lay impropriutors should reflect, that they are
teaching every man, woman, and child, in the
United Kingdom to read, and that they are at
the saute time making them a present of the New
Testament, in which Mr. Thomas Moore, of
Anacreontic celebrity, says there is not one word
respecting tithes ; but, on the contrary, in which
New Testament directions are given to the
Apostles, when they are sent forth to preach,
not to take with them any scrip whatever.
