ROYAL NAVY, &c.

l'onTssrounr, DEC. 6.—On Wednesday arrived his
jetty's sloop of war Clrasshopper, Captain J. Bradley, ;rotas
Newfoundland, the NVestern Islands, and Lisbon—in seven
days from the Tagus. She sailed from St. John's on the itch
ult, and from 11:trin (where she deposited housing and provi-
sions for the winter consumption of the Clinkz.r). on the :MI;
touched, at royal 7th, and Saint Michael's the oth of No-
vetnber. Some of Lord Cochrane's cruisers had burn oft the
Azores, and cut up the Portuguese trade 'a good tienl. She
also touched at Lisbon, where she lay a week, and sailed on
the 6th instant; left in the Tagus our squadron of obser-
vation and Protection, consisting of the Revenge, 78, Vice-
Admiral Sir Harry Neale, K.C.B„ Seringapatem, Captain
S. Warren, C.B. ; Active, Captain A. King; Naiad, Captain
Honourable It. C. Spencer, and the Nimble tender. The
Revenge was awaiting the arrival of the Windsor Castle,
74, Captain Charles Dash wood, front Plymouth, when she
would proceed to her ultimate destination—the Mediterra-
nean, touching at Marseilles' to embark Lady Neale, and
thence to 11ralta. The squadron In the Tagus appeared
In high order, and healthy. The King of Portugal was
highly pleased with the presence of the ships, and the ele-
gant attentions and hospitality of Sir Henry Neale. The
Portuguese Fleet, of which two or three frigates only are
in commission, were in a wretched condition. The Portu-
guese talked of fitting out an expedition to recover possession
of' the Brazils, but there were no evident symptomi of prepara-
tion. The Portuguese (even the better order of them), are very
ignorant of public affairs : they were silly enough to believe, that
the assembling of the British ships in the Tagus, was with the
object of assisting them to reconquer their South American pos-
sessions. The Grasshopper fell in with, on the 9th ult., a Portu-
guese frigate and a corvette, with a new Governor on board for
the Azores. The old order of things is said to be contrary to the
taste of the people there, among whom some ebullition of feeling
might be expected to develope itself. Lady Thornton arrived
at Lisbon on the 23d ult. The Pandora may be daily expee -
ted from St. John's. The small cutter fitted at Portsmouth
for the Newfoundland station, arrived at St. John's, after 41
days' passage from Plythouth ; being only of 28 tons hurthen,
doubts existed as to. Tier capability or fitness to cross the At-
Louie.

The Glasgow, 46, Captain B. C. Doyle, sailed this afternoon
for Plymouth, to await final orders ;• also the Dutch brig of war
Courier, Capt. Lucas, for the Mediterranean. On Monday the
Snap, Lieut. Bullock, sailed for Deptford.

The Grasshopper and Starling are come into harbour to be

On Monday, Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Hamilton, -baronet,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief at Newfoundland, arrived
from St. John's, in the Ranger, 28, Captain P. Fisher, in 14
days. Sir Charles Struck his flag and proceeded to London in
the evening. The Ranger came into harbour yesterday to refit.
Captain Fred. Hunn is appointed to the Tweed, 29, at this
port. Lieut. J. Dalgelish, to the Ocean':' Lieut. J. M. Currie
to the Menal ; Lieut. J. homson (a) to be an agent for trans.
ports; Mr. R. Turner to be King's Harbour Master at Ply-
mouth ; • Mr. A. Fisher, who acaimpanied Captain Parry to the
North Pole, to be Surgeon of the Tweed.—Lieut. Ames An-
derson, of the Reyenge, to the rank of Commander; Mr. A.
Broonthead, to be a Lieutenant of the Active; Mr. Gray to
the rank of Lieutenant.

Sir Alexander Cochrane has continued to reside with us
since the termination of-Captain Harris's Court-martial. It is
understood that the gallant and worthy Admiral 'awaits a tinal
answer from the Lords of the Admiralty to his repeated appli-
cation for a Court-martial on his conduct, as it respects the
luting of the IlUssar, when under his command at Plymouth.
Rear-Admiral W. T. Lake, ().B. will, it is said, succeed
RearwAchuiral Fable, as Commander-in-Chief on the North
American station. Captain D. Minn to be the Rear-Admiral's
Flag Captain.
The Cygnet was commissioned on Wednesday, at Ports-
mouth, by Lieutenant J. 0. Gooding; and the Plover, on
Thursday, by Lieutenant E. Jennings, to be fitted for packet
service.
NAVAL. COURT-MARTIAL-0U Thursday last a Court-
Martial was held at Portsmouth on board Um Quceu Was. Citarlottir,
(Sir HosTE, Bart.; President,) on Thomas,
alias John Rogers, a smuggler, for deserting from his Majesty's
-sloop Beaver, at Monte Video. in the month of October. 1821
and the charge being proved, the Court adjudged him to receive
lOU lashes, and to be imprisoned six months in the Marshalsea.
It appeared, that after his desertion and return to England, he
pursued his former occupation as a smuggler, and on 6eing
taken and convicted a second time, was recognized as a deserter,
and brought to trial for the offence.

to the promising aspect of the affairs of
the Patriots. It is only a few days since
the -Elate Paris Paper boasted of the oc-
cupation of Lima by the Spaniards ; but
the French must now be convinced that their
allies in the New World have been grasping at a
shadow, and losing the substance. The interior
of Peru was the only quarter in which the power
of Spain retained a footing; and from that it i;
now likely to be speedily dislodged. It is tin.
derstood that the Patriots look with anxiety
to this country for a supply of money'
which we trust will not be withheld from them.
At present, they are Ilia even possessed of suf-
ficient means for working the mines.
" LIMA, AUG. 22.--" In the beginning of the present year,
the Spaniards, elated by the partial successes which they had
obtained between Chili and Peru resolved on endeavouring to
,re-possess themselves of Lima. Great preparations were
made for the execution of this project, by the Spaniards ;
and the Puravians, on their part, were not idle in taking
measures to frustrate the expectations of the enemy. 'rhey
resolved, however, not to dispute the possession of Lima, and
on the contrary shipped 6,000 Patriots to operate in the
countries which the Spanish Generals Camerae (a French-
man by birth), and Baldez, had left unprotected by
marching against Lima. Boliiar, in the meantime, had
eonie forward with auxiliaries from Colombia, aided' by a body
oftroops furnished by Chili for the defence of the common
cause. By the time the Spaniards reached Lima, in the latter
end of June, a second expedition of 000 Patriots bad been
• prepared, and actually embarked and set sail in presence of the
b11;5Q411 army, which, foiled in its great object of bringing the
fro a pendent forces to decisive action, obtained no other result
bun' a long and harrassing march of several mont

"ma/ which had been intentionally . evacuated for that very
Purpose. The Patriot arm, after having been landed from their
ships, marched in two divisions upon Cuzco and Potosi, under
their Generals Sucre and Miller. They wore in daily expecta-
tion a reinforcement of :3,000 men from Chili. The In-
,:ependent General Gamana is investing Arequips. Can-

Army consists only of 9,000 men, of whom not more than

We copy the following , from the Glasgow

Daulty-LANE.—As we have already noticed
the representation of the Musical Drama entitled
Rob Roy at this Theatre, we have only to add,
that .it was on Saturday night enlivened
by the return of Miss STEPHENS in the part
of Diana Vernon. She was greeted with the
warmest applause by a numerous audience, and
she fully requited their kindness by the delicacy

and feeling with which she acted the part, and
the sweetness, taste, and science with which she
warbled all her songs.

Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, dated the
14th of November, 1823 :—Since I last wrote to
you, all the unfortunate members of the Spanish
Cortes, and other fugitives from Spain, have been
ordered out of the garrison in the most arbitrary
and cruel manner, and they are most of them
gone to seek an asylum on the more hospitable
shores of Barbary. The conduct of the British
Government here has made every one ashamed of
the name of Englishmen : it can certainly never
be approved at home. A subscription is now
going about for these poor distressed exiles, to
which, I believe, every one contributes his mite
except Lord Chatham, General Don, and a few
persons under their immediate influence."

at the two Universities, where the attendance WAS unprece-

by the most enthusiastic demonstrations. A golden harvest must
have rewarded such extraordinary exertions, and we congra.

which John Evans, the coachman, very properly refused. Mr.
Parry then sprung upon the box threw the coachman among
the horses. The guard then levelled his blunderbuss at Mr.
Parry, but instantly recognising him, refrained from dis Char-

a short delay, then proceeded on. The guard has reported the
