LONDON,
ITIEDNES.DAY, DECEMBER 17, 1823.

in our preceding columns we have given ex-
tracts from the French and other Foreign Jour-
nals received since our last. In addition to the
articles which
,we have extracted from the /Wile
of Monday, we perceive that it contains accounts
frorrt Trieste of the 2d instant. .A vessel had
arrived from Calamitha in the Morea,with the
intelligence of.the capture of the citadel of Corinth
by the Greeks. The Trieste Correspondent of the
Rile observes, that the Turks have not gained
an inch of land in the third campaign, which is
8° Hearty terminated, and that the Greeks await
the opening of the fourth without' apprehension.
The letters from Constantinople of the 15th Nov.l
had announced the nomination of GAUD PACJIA
lu the command of the Bosphorus. This. Pacha is
represented as one of the most distinguished men
in the Ottoman Empire, and his return to the
favour of the Sultan had excited some sensa-
tion, It is asserted that the Divan, which had
displayed great condescension towards the Chris-
tian Powers for some time previous to and
during the interview of the two Emperors at
Czernowitz, hid resumed all its 'ancient ar-
rogance, aftei• learning that their Imperial Ma-
jesties had set off on their return to their re-
'Pective capitnia.—The Etoile states that it has
received a Madrid Restaurador containing a
long article, which it considers of great im-
Portance, and which it therefore promises to in-
sert entire in its Number of Tuesday. The ob-
ject of the article is to prove that the Royal Go-
vernment of Spain neither can nor ought to pay
he debts of the Cortes.

We extract the following article on the state
15f %nth America from the Madrid Gazelle. We
have always, for our part, and on the last occa.
very recently, acknowledged that Spain
6611 retains a footing in Peru. In as far as
that country is concerned, therefore, it would
rtrta"e/y be premature to assert that its inde-
l'eadence of the. Mother Country has as yet
k effected. But the Madrid Gazette has
14116 a very pompous display of the naniec
nutty indproificant spots, which it as-
Areerla still subject to the dominion of
-Wes and from whose enumeration it vainly
441deavours to conjure up the ghost of her former
a""eignty,and to invest it with a shew of reality
nd substance. Even the catalogue of the Madrid
G
astelte has before now been torn by the military'
°Petallees undertaken by the Patriots iu con-
equeeee or the great error committed by General

we. (Prom the Madrid Gaz:ll, of the 4th instant.)
have already said, that The Courier of London affirms
that s
P"aill America is isulepriulent do facto, and consequently
aeZire: find ourselves compelled to say, that The Courier
4,3, °ugh a telescope which misrepresents to his eyes the
Lre of the Incas. In fact, he expects his readers to believe, ,
tZee authority of his assertions, facts the least credible in the
" impartial men. The question must be solved by

logical argument, which, though ancient, bas the advantage of
being more reasonable, more just, and less arbitrary.
A Province is called independent de facto, which being an in-
tegral portion of a kingdom, lives tranquil under a GoVernment,
and enjoys its protection, paying at the same time to the said
Government the just tribute of obedience. Let The Courier
examine under this point of view the Vice-royalty of Lower
Peru, from the sources of the Rimac to its mouth ; let him con-
template from the fertile valley of Jauja, the immense pro-
vinces of Huancavelica, Huamenga, and Arequipa, and he will
see, from All quarters, the subject Peruvians pay the ho-
mage which they owe, receive commands, demand justice, and
solicit pardons, of the ancient metiopolis 'of Cusco, in which
Lieutenant - General Don Joseph de la Serna (Viceroy
of his Catholic Majesty) has fixed his residence since the year
1821. Let The Courier elevate his telescope a little, and, leav-
ing the Cordilleras of the Andes, look to Upper Peru, and he will
see the tranquil and subject jurisdictions of La Pacz, Oruro,
Chuquisaca, Cochabamby, Potosi, and Santa Cruz-de-la-Siena,
which,' abjuring the pretended felicity of their metropolis,
Buenos Ayres, find themselves happy under the paternal Go.
vernment of the delegated RepresentatiVe in those States of
our beloved Sovereign. Let his scrutinizing eyes dwell here
awhile, and he will see that the orders dictated by La Serna
are executed in the provinces of Peru with as much regularity
us those of George the Fourth in Great Britain ; that, from all
quarters merchants arrive in the intermediate ports to exchange
the rich metals they produce for cloths which are exported
film.' the banks of the Thames, and all the pieces of coin which
they receive in return are ornamented with the effigy of Verdi-
nand VII. And in spite of all these truths, which the Jour-
nalists of the Court of London are thoroughly convinced of,
how can The Courier venture to affirm that this portion of
Spanish America is independent de filch)
Perhaps he is ignorant•that the insurgents are only masters of
the district of Trujillo, and a small portion of that of Tarma,
whose untbrtunate inhabitants neglect no means to rid them-
selves of the iron yoke which is imposed upon them by vio-
lence, as the parties of G aanueo and Conchucos have frequently
manifested, by earnestly soliciting the aid of the Royal army.—
Perhaps he is ignorant that all the popular commotions which
that country has sustained since the year 1821 were ephemeral,
and provoked by revolutionary enthusiasts.
And who kept them in subjection ? who made them bite the
&tat in the fields of Guaquil, Villapuquio, Ayohuma, Viluca,
and others, if it was not the Peruvians ? Let them answer the
questionlt was Generals Goyeneehe, Pezuela, anti Ramirez,
who bad the honour of heading them in these glorious battles,
and who now live happily in this capital. Ask these Generals
who wove the laurel wreaths which adorn their brows, if it
was not the Peruvians ; who caused to vanish, like smoke, the
famed armies of Colombia, Buenos Ayres, and Chile, which,
in the year 1820, styled themselves masters of the ancient em-
pire of Manco-Cspac Who were they who routed 4,000 in,
surgents at Ica, on the 211th April, 1822, and the same force at
Moquega, on the 21st of last January ? Who were they, if it
was not the Peruvians, who, entering triumphantly into Lima,
in the month of June last, accompanied by their relatives, and,
animated with the most lively joy, replaced amidst re-echoing
Vi vats the portrait of our King, which some wretched adven-
turers had profaned during the space of four years ! •
And who were they, if not the Peruvians, who forced these
adventurers shamefully to retreat and shut themselves up,
covered with opprobrium in the forts of Callao P And In the
face of these facts, which fame has promulgated even on the
banks of the Thames, how can The Courier venture to advance
that Spanish America is Independent de facto :1 If, however,
any doubt remain in his mind, let him compare the Royal army
to that of the insurgents, their resources and their economy,
the civil and political virtues of La Serna ,#nd his companions
in anus, firm in their fidelity to our august Monarch, and the
execrable lives of Torrelagle and his satellites; the fraternal
union of the former, whose sole care is the preservation of the
provinces, which the goodness of the Sovereign has confided to
of opinion, diversity of interests,
diem, and the inconsistency of the latter, divided by differen-
cesthe fatal confilict of passions.
by opposite sentiments and
But this object must be separately treated of, as well as the
heterogeneous elements which compose the miserable and in-
significant revolutionary army, and the necessity of annihilating
them before they become homogenous, and ere that, united,
they occasion greater evils than those which we have hitherto
endured. These, we repeat, and other matters, we shall suc- ,
cessively discuss with the distinctness and truth which an affair
of such importance requires.

CIT r, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this
morning at SOH, and went down to 8611. Some.
husineis was doing in the early part of the morn-
ing.--The Expresses from Paris of Monday
bring the French Rentes at 91f. 95c., tu.l Spa-
nish 28, which is a still further decline.—
We do not hear as yet of any further in-
formation from that Capital concerning the
Old Spanish Loan, neither can we be informed as
yet in regard to the operations of the New One,
as the Gentlemen who have gone from London
could only have arrived when the Courier left

Paris.
FOlt Ei 41N MA llKE'r.—Spanish Bunch opened
at 28i. to '292 but soon after fell to and
were again done at 28 ii.

New York Papers arrived this morning to the
25th November. The following is the only ar-
ticle worthy of notice :
" A rat CA.—ACCoUlltil from Sierra Loone to the
2d of September :—The Ashantee Negroes were
approaching Cape Coast in great numbers, with
the intention of making an attack and plundering
that Colony. Sir C. WCARTHY W4B to direct
the operations against them, and Captain LACY

had collected a force of 7,000 men, principally
natives, to resist them. Two British vessels of
war were at Cape Coast, and its safety appears
certain. Two or three native Kings had lately
been deposed in Africa, and other persons placed
on their thrones."--(Nero York Gaudio, Nov. 23.)

BAYONNE, DEC. 9.—The change of Ministers
is a subject of general interest in Spain as well as in France.—
The Ultras, according to the class to which they belong, expect
from it a complete re-establishment of the ancient power of the
King. and a renovation of the splendour of the Monarchy
on the other hand, the most terrible consequences, which they
expect to end in general disorder. Moderate men, however,
attach but little Importance to it, and think that nothing can
be done by a chan and men, unless it be accompanied by a
change of system,by the introduction of institutions suit.
able to the age in which we live; but they fear that this mea-
sure, which they consider as the only one by which the King
might appease the troubles of his kingdom, is not likely to be
adopted by him. It is allowed, however, that there is an int.
provernent in the choice of his Confessor ; and people see with
pleasure that an Ecclesiastic is removed from the helm who
would have converted the whole kingdom into one vast IUo.
nareby. The first acts of this new Ministry are impatiently
looked for, as they will enable us to form an opinion of the sys-
tem they are likely to follow. There was a tumult at Orange
on the 2•2 d nit: on occasion of the fete in honour of the florid-
nation'of the Pope. A regiment that was in the town guar.
rolled with the Royalists; seventeen were wounded. General
Guillerninot having returned to Paris (yesterday), it is said no
more expresses will come from Spain.

An Express arrived this morning at the house
of Mr. ROTIISCIIILD, with an account of his safe
arrival at Paris.

DItURY-LANE:-.-The opera of Love in it Vii
loge, which may be considered as an agreeable
Comedy, apart from its musical attractions, was
represented last night at this Theatre. BELHAPeI
resumed the part of Hawthorn, and not only sung
with his usual excellence, but really supported
it with spirit ,and humour. Miss STEPHENS was
playful in Rosetta. All the airs of these great
vocalists were encored. DOWTON'S Justice Wood-
cock was a humorous treat. HORN acquitted
himself well in Young Meadows. KNIGHT'S
Hodge was a good specimen of rustic humour.—
Much, however, as we were entertained, we can-
not approve of the introduction of songs not ori-
ginally connected with the Piece. The music
was originally selected and composed by Dr.
ARNE, and he possessed such taste and genius as
should exempt so great a Master from any inter-
polations, however excellent. The House was
very well attended.

COI ENT-GARDEN.—The Cabinet was repeated
last night, and the musical rivalry of SINCIAIR
and Miss PATON afforded a high gratification to a
numerous audience.
Ito TAL CdBURG THEATRE.—A whimsical
piece, entitled Our Future Fate, or Torn, Jerry,
and Logic, in 1845, has been produced at this
Theatre. These popular Heroes, who have made
sodistinguished a figure at the Adelphi Theatre,
aro here introduced prophetically, and in so whim-
sical a mauner as to afford much entertainment.
It was too long on its first representation, but has
been properly curtailed. It was last night very
well received, and was followed by a ludicrous
Burletta, entitled Two Gregories, and die terrific
Drama entitled The Murderer, or The Devoted
Son. They were all well received.
NEW SURREY TREATRE.—'Phis elegant Theatre
attracts very crowded and genteel audiences.
The corps dramatiquc consists of a combination
of histrionic talents truly respectable, and worthy
of the liberal support which the Managers ex.
perience from the Public, and for which, not
only by the strength-of their Company, but by the
tasteful decoration Of the House, the richness of
the dresses and the scenery, and the variety and
novelty of the performances, they seem to be
duly sensible. Last night the Pieces were The
Maid of Genoa,—The Passions,—and The Feu-
labs; besides the exhibition of M. DiatstoN's'ele..
gent and surprising feats of agility. In The
Passions, Mr. 0 XTIERR Y, as Giles, admirably
pourtrayed the workings of love and jealousy, in
the warm and honest heart of the unfortunate
suitor for the hand of Pharbe, who had conferred
her affections on George. The violent conflict of
feeling in the last scene, when Giles at length
by a heroic effort of fortitude and generosity
sacrifices hii own fondly cherished hopes to the
happiness of Thisbe, and places her hand, with a
convulsive and agonized blessing, in that of his
rivet' George, was a piece 'of finished acting
which we have seldom seen equalled. On the
fall of the curtain, the piece was honoured with
nine loud and distinct rounds of applause from
all parts of the house.

Sunday morning about eight o'clock, the Duke
of Yoxx left town in his travelling carriage and
four for Sud burn, near Woodbridge, Suffolk, tho
seat of the Marquis HERTFORD, to enjoy the
sport of shooting for four or five days.
Yesterday was the Anniversary of Prince
LEOPULD'S Birth-Clay, when his Royal Highness
completed his 33d year. Ilis Royal Highness's
tradespeople illuminated their houses in the
evening. _ _

We are happy to find that Mr. Secretary CAN

NINA, though still suffering from gout, is able to
attend to business. Unroll FAGEL and M. FALEK,
accompanied by Mr. WYNN, had a long confe-
rence with the Right lion. Gentleman on Mon-
day. The Earl of LivEnpoor. and Lord GRAN..
VILLE called on Mr. CANNING, at Gloucester
Lodge, yesterday.
According to advices from Caraccns of the 7111

of October, letters had been received in that city
from the illustrious Bolivar, written after the sub-
jugation of Pasto, and immediately before his de-
parture for Peru. In these the President takes leave
of his friends in a feeling and pathetic manlier,
and announces that he was setting off for Peru,
at the head of 16,000 soldiers, with the determi-
nation of not returning to Colombia until peace
was restored in the sister republic, and the tran-
quillity and happiness of his own country thereby
for ever ensured. This masterpiece of his military
glory Bolivar trusted to be able to achieve before
a year had elapsed, and had adopted the resolu-
tion, as soon as it was accomplished, of retiring
from active life, and terminating his days quietly
in the city which gave him birth.
Yesterday the Loan MAYOR held a Court of
Aldermen at Guildhall, for the dispatch of ge-
neral business, previous to the Christmas recess,

Sitting Justices at Guildhall, was appointed to,
be the principal clerk, in the room of Mr. Payne
deceased ; and the next Court was appointed for
the election of a successor to Mr..Berresford.-1
Several persons were allowed and sworn brokers,
and sundry coal undertakers licensed.
THE CANAL. IN THE PA ax.--The draining
and cleansing of the Canal in St. James's Park
having been for some time past completed, the
steam engine which was erected on the north
bank, for the purpose of forcing out that portion
of the water which was below the level of the
sewer, has been taken down and removed. The
Canal is now 'filling with fresh water, and from
its communication with the River, It will in

future be kept pure and sweet. Workmen are
at present employed in scurf/fine; the P,arade, in
front of the Horse Guards, preparatory to giving
it a new cover of gravel or other hard material ;
a process which was much required, as every
frequenter of the Park must have observed after
rainy weather. - _ _

fItANSLATION.---In ono of his works, Sir JOHN
Paistors. mentioning his having cured a patient by
the use of
two quarts of Dog and. Duck water
daily, (a mineral opting in, St. George's Fields),
