CITY, HALF-PAST OXI O'CLOCL.
C6rlsols are steady at O 6 U, being yesterday's
Pr
keg- 'There is little or nothing doing.

From Dover I learn this morning that au Ex-
-11/4'lll landed there ou WedneSday from Bon-
"Z"'
with dispatches for the Foreign Office,
b
°Yrning-street.—Mr. liivroi had also arrived,
and had set off for London. A Messenger
bild also been landed with dispatehes from An-
"1"1.--No dispatches from France.
l'utterGN MARK.ET.—This is settling-day, and
11the is doing except in making up the accounts ;
414x.ican fell to 78, but is again 8i.—South
4lnerican Stock is however generally heavy, and
the Market is flat.

CITY, Two o'CLocx.
114PORTANT.—I have just learned that advice;
ire in town from the Havannall, with the cer.
14'n intelligence that an Expedition has actually
leoled from it against Peru and Mexico.

We have received the Paris Papers of Tees-
day, and the Etoile of Wednesday. Some un-
ilnPortant extracts will be found in another co-
Inron. In the subjoined article, the Etoile gives
an account of the victory obtained by the
Loyalists in Peru, which we exclusively an-
nounced in a Second Edition yesterday.—The
statement of the Etoile, though it does not in-
clude the capture of Callao, is still more serious
than that published by us yesterday ; and we
lave so much reliance on the authority of our
Paris Correspondent, that we are of opinion that
even the capture of Callao will still be confirmed.
Our Readers will recollect that a few days'
since we extracted accounts from the Morning
Chronicle, dated Lirna, Dec. 24 and 30, in which
the condition of the Independents was repre-
sented in an unfavourable light, and in the former
•°(' which it was said that " the Spaniards were
axpected at Lima."—These advices certainly
corroborate the present accounts given by the
Etoile, which assert that the Royalists are
Gi
masters of Peru from the southern frontier to
Lima." We shall be very sincerely rejoiced if
all this disastrous intelligence should turn out to
be unfounded. There are no warmer friends to
the independence of South America than we are,
not °illy because we are friendly to the esta-
blishment of rational liberty throughout the
civilized world, but because the independence
Itnd prosperity of the South Americans are of
great importance to the prosperity of Great Bri-
tain herself. Still, even if the cause of inde-
Pendence should eventually triumph, and even if
all the present unpromising and suspicious ap-
Pearances should vainsh, there can be no harm
ja exercising the greatest caution and vigilance
before further additions are made to the enor-

lens amount of British capital already embarked
" the security of States whose stability is at
Lett precarious and uncertain. Until the means
Lre dev;sed of employing all our surplus capital
st home, or in a safe and advantageous foreign
cc`mtnerce, our own public funds, and those of
other old and established Governments, offer a

Secure investment for money; and all classes 01
Persons must feel that it is the most prudent
course to adventure no further till the course o

"tents shall have decided the fate of the
Southern American Continent. It would be of
great importance to the monied and mercantile
luterests of the country if Government were
t° make a frank avowal of its present opi-
In°ll of the state of South American affairs,
and we hope that some Member of the House of
Commons will put a question to Mr. Secretary
‘ANNIxo, for the purpose of giving the Right
honourable Gentleman an opportunity of stating
Whether or not he is still of opinion that " the in-
dependence of South America is substantially
alhieved." In the mean time, the declaration

or war by Portugal against train, and the ex-
peditions fitting out in the ports of the former
Kingdom and of Spain, shew very clearly what
are the opinions of the Cabinets of Lisbon and
of Madrid, and render it still more indispensable
that the British public should be put in posses-
sion of some definite and authoritative informa-
tion on the subject from their own Government.

( From the Etoile of Tredrusday.)
MADRID, MAY 4.—The King and all the
Royal Family continue at Aranjeuz.
The Madrid Gazette contains a detailed ac-
count of the events that took place in Mexico
at the latter end of January. It confirms all
that has appeared on the subject in the English
Papers. Anarchy daily causes the power to
pass from one hand to another.
After this narration is a new confirmation of

e successes obtained in Peru by General Val-

dez. lie has taken advantage of his victory ;
after annihilating the divison of Santa Cruz, he
rapidly fell upon General Sucre, who command-
ed a Colombian corps and regiment of Chilian
cavalry, called the Innocents. He fell back on
Quilca, whence he was again driven. He has
rejoined Bolivar at Truxillo. The latter has
left only 2,000 men at Lima, almost all of them
militia of that town. The Chi Hans have retreated
to Valparaiso, and seem not disposed to take any
further part in this war.
The Spaniards have entered Ica, and the In-
surgents who occupied Callao were immediate-
ly filled with alarm. " On the whole," says the
account, " his Majesty's troops are masters of
Peru, from the southern frontier to Lima. Their
farther progress is certain. Lascerna, Canterac,
and Valdez, are rivals of the glory of Cortez
and Pizarro."

Next to our internal affairs, nothing more en-
gages the public attention than the new negocia-
tiou which is to take place ou the Ist of July,
between our Government and yours, relative to
the Army of Occupation, part of which will pro-
bably return to France. The first and particular
instructions of the King on this subject are not
known. It is positively stated that our Govern-
ment will give to General Eymerich the com-
mand of the expedition agaiust Peru and Mexico.

In the following article the Journal des Mbats
very kindly advises us to " tranquillize our-
selves " respecting the movements of the French
marine. We are not the less obliged to our
Paris Contemporary for this salutary advice,
because we have in fact anticipated his sugges-
tion, and have ourselves, in THE SUN of last
Wednesday, humbly submitted to the Govern-
ment and the People of this country the pro-
priety of exercising more delicacy in future re-
specting the disposal of a few French ships of war.
But the Journal deg Mats only affords grounds
for new suspicious, when, in adverting to those
that have already been expressed, it employs
ridicule and misrepresentation, instead of plain
statement, and open, frank, and conciliatory
details. /Ve did not say that " three other
French vessels had arrived unexpectedly in the
Tagus, apparently to act with the fleet of
eighteen French vessels which had been seen in
the waters of the Brazils.”—What we said was,
that the arrival of additional French ships of
war in the Tagus was 44 calculated to renew the
agitation of the public mind on the Brazilian
question" (implying, that in consequence of the
explanations given by the French Government tke
previous agitation had subsided,) "and particu-
larly when it was coupled with ominous declara-
tion of the Journal des Mats, that the Brazils
were on the eve of a great change !" We cannot
trust to the authority of a paper which we thus
detect in using perversions, at the very moment it
is professing its anxiety to dissipate delnsions and
to communicate only the truth. And to what
does the witty article of the French Journalist
amount ? Why—to a substantial confirmation of
the accuracy of our intelligence, by admitting
that two French ships had actually arrived in
the Tagus, though their class is conveniently
kept out of sight, by designating them under
the diminutive appellation of 44 barks."—We
must not forget, in treating this subject, that all
the accounts from the Brazils direct confirm the
original accounts as to the augmentation of the
French naval force in that quarter, and are at
variance with the accounts given by the French
Government, and by the Journal des Mats and
other organs of the Ministry.

[From the Journal dc: Debals.l
MAY 10.—The English Journals -have become at
length ridiculous with their French fleets, which they arc see-
ing every where. Two frigates proceed to resume their station
in the South Sea ; they cast anchor at Rio Janeiro ;—there is
then a fleet ! Two barks, passing from Brest to Cadiz, to
carry provisions to our garrison of Cadiz, anchor on their way
in the Tagus—another fleet! But this is not all. Here, says THE
SHY, are three other French vessels which arrive unexpectedly
in the Tagus, apparently to act with the fleet of 18 French ves-
sels which have been seen in the waters of Brazil. Let us ex-
plain also this terrible armada. The small squadron which
we have at Cadiz has received orders to put to sea during the
fine season along the coast of Portugal and Spain, to escape the
diseases of the port, and exercise our sailors. Vice-Admiral
Des Rotours, commanding the vessel the Santi Petri, went in
consequence to visit Lisbon, whence he must be now returned
to Cadiz, to go next to visit his other neighbours at Gibraltar.
Let the English Journalists tranquillize themselves. If France
had designs on Brazil, she would undoubtedly have informed
her Allies, among whom she reckons England. But France
has no design of the kind, and is at war with nobody ; it is
contented with wishing the other nations of the Continent the
peace and prosperity she enjoys.

The Mexican Gazette of January 27, 1824,
states, that the Mexican Minister of Foreign
Affairs had communicated to the Congress a note
of the " English Commissioners," demanding

their passports, in consequence of the want of
military discipline, of the want of obedience-to
authority, and from considering their persons

nsecure.

In the Noose of Commons, last night, Mr.
ODEMOUSIC brought forward his promised Re-
solution :-----" That the Salt Tax should be con-
tinued, in order to enable his Majesty's Govern-
ment to :relieve the country by a partial reduc-
tion of The Window Tax, in the ensuing Session
of Parliament." The CnANCELLOR of the Excuu-
Qu ER stated that his Majesty's Government were
now pledged to the repeal of the Tax, and were
determined to abide by that pledge unless there
displayed through.
solulotutlidiebehiao Tueseryisatrofanygo fuerenoup
the Tax. He had
seen no symptom any of such feeling ; and he
believed his Hon. Friend must himself be aware
that no such feeling really existed, and would
withdraw his motion. The manner in which the
House received this declaration of the Ministers
to abide by their Pledge, convinced the lion.
Member that he could not do better than to
adopt the course suggested to him, and he with-
drew his motion.

Another gratifying feature of the proceediugs
of last night was, the very favourable man-
ner in which _the Petition presented by
Mr. STUART WoRTLCY from Use Clerks of
the Public Offices was received by the House.
—The measure of reducing the salaries of
this useful and meritorious clan' is disapproved
of by every liberal and enlightened Member on
both sides of the House, and well and truly did
Mr. Secretary CANNING in particular designate
it as not only unwise but unjust be-
cause it alteied the relation in which these officers
stood with regard to the Crown—unjust, because
it imposed a tax upon a particular class of per-
sous. Hence there can be no doubt that mea-
sures will speedily be taken to remove so great
a hardship and so palpable au injustice.
Mr. MARTIN'S ►motion for an increase of salary
to the Officers of State and the Judges, fell to the
ground, no Member having risen to second the
proposition when brought forward. Mr. PEEL
stated that an increase to the salaries-of the Judges
was under consideration, and contemplated. Mr.
Hoeuosse said, if such a motion should be again
brought forward, he would accompany it by a
protest against promotions from the Bench. The
Judges ought certainly to be rendered perfectly
independent in circumstances, and receive nothing
beside their salaries. No part of their income
should be made up by fees. The purity of the
Bench should be jealously watched over and
protected ; it involves the best interests of the
people of England ; their lives and properties are
both committed in a just admiuistratioa of the
laws. The Judges therefor• should be kept
aloof from influence of every sort, and be per-
, fectly independent in revenue and in principle.
