" With reference to the Report of the Resident at Cerijo,
dated the 12th of October, communicated to the Senate by his
Excellency the Lord High Commissioner, stating, that on the
6th October, an atrocious crime was committed, accompanied
by horrible circumstances, by the inhabitants of a village in that
island called Cavana, who had formed a treasonable connection
with some inhabit of Maina, having promised to support
them against the legitimate Government, that they perfidiously
induced 41 Turks, who had disembarked in that island, to pe-
netrate into the interior, and then massacred them in .the most
barbarous manlier ; that having tied some who were still
living to those who-were dead, they threw them into the seat
having first attached to them large stones.
And haying reference moreover to the same report, stating,
that when the lOcal Government sent the officers of the civil.
power to the said village pf: Cavan& to arrest the individuals
guilty of, these cruelties, yesistance was made to them in the
exercise of their functions ; . and that these facts have determined

'lf we may believe letters. from the lonian Islands, the dis..

Zante has been obliged to retire into the Fort, and 'Sir Thomas
Maitland has found it necessary to proceed hiinself from Corfu,
at the head Of a:body of troops; but it appears that the discon-
tent is ne .cortflued to Corfu, it extends to almost all the

LONDON,
_TUESDAY, DECEVBER 11,. 121.

'Outrages contirktAe.p. nceur in the disturbed
distrlcts in Ireland ; but they appear,,,we „are
i.
guppy to say, to decrease in number. The vi=
gorous measures of the Civil and Military Power
'seem to have given st.formidable
,check to the
proceedings of the insurgents ; and the appre-
bensiob`ofa few of the leading agitators hasled
to distlosures, it is said, which will probably
enable the present dangerous confederacy to be
entirely broken up.

We received this morning the French Papers
of Saturday, from which we give extracts under
the head of " Foreign Intelligence." The con-
tents of Brussels =Papers to the 7th are also to
be found atnong our ,articles of Foreign Intelli-
gence.—The French Chambers' have met again,
but no business of any importance occupied their

attention:
The Extraordinary Gazelle of Chili, and the
Gazette of Lima, contain a variety of documents
relative to the establishment of Peruvian Inde-
pendence, which, however, are - not sufficiently

'nteresting, at this distance, and are too volu-
minous, for insertion in ax English Journal.

The people of Peru it would appear were
ripe for revolt and only waited for the favour-
able opportunity which. was at length presented
to them, of enthusiastically declaring their sepa-
ration from the Parent State the tyranny of which
is bitterly execrated in most of the documents. The
revolution has been the natural and necessary con-
sequence, not of •foreign interference, but of the
present weakness and the ancient oppressions of
the Mother Country.—The cordial concurrence
and active co-operation of the Archbishop and
the Clergy, prove that the interests of religion
are respected by the revolutionists ; while the
ready acquiescence of the merchants and of the
general body of the people is an equally satisfac-
tory evidence that no apprehensions are enter-
tained for the security of property, or the pre-
servation of due order -and subordination in
-society. The career of General SAN MARTIN
has been distinguished by great wisdom and
exemplary moderation and humanity. This
Chieftain, indeed, will be justly ranked amongst
the greatest benefactors of their fellow-creatures.
The people seem to have placed the utmost 'Con-
fidence in his generosity, prudence, and- good
faith; and never was confidence more amply
justified, or more strikingly rewarded. The
progress of SAN MARTINwas marked by none of

those cruelties or ravageS by which the march of
conquerors may so frequently he traced ; and
his entrance Into Limaresembled more the tri-
umph of the inhabitants than of a victorious
General. The strictest discipline was pre-
served amongst his.- soldiers, and every dis-
position to outrage - promptly checked. He
wisely abstained from any .attempt to dic-
tate a form of government, ..or to impose a po-
litical alliance upon the 'citizens. They
.were
called together for. the purpose of freely expres-
sing their voluntary sentiments ; and the decla-
ration of their indepetidebce was their own act,
and not that of, their deliverer. In short, no
man, if we are to credit the accounts before us,
ever displayed .more prudence under difficulties,
or more mOderatioit in success, than the trium-
phant General Six MARTIN
Amongst . .
Amongst the. proclamations, is an eloquent ad-
dress from the• General to the Women of Lima,
in which he exhorts them to employ their power-
ful influence in promoting the consolidation of
the public liberty and happiness.

New York Papers -are -arrived to the 19th
Nov. They contain an official despatch from the
Minister of War of Columbia, dated Borodon,
3d July, stating, he received despatches from.
General SAN MIRTIN, from Barancas, dated sth
June, in which'he states, that the basis of mea-
sures have been fixed; and will eventually de-
cide the fall Of. Peru. On the lqth the Chilian
squadron entered Callao with 2000 Then. It was
agreed that the negotiations should be carried on
on board an English frigate anchored in Callao,
as a neutral situation. Genetal RAMIREZ, with
1500 men, the remains of the Spanish army, had
set off with much valuable ptoperty from the
churches.

FROM VERA CRUZ, SEPT..3.--Every thing in
that country was in the greatest confusion ; no
business doing ; and all the respectable mer-
chants and families, with their property, were
departing. A Patriot force has invested Vera
Cruz, and were still Lying before it. On the ar-
rival of the new Viceroy'he immediately shut
himself up, sending off despatches to the Ha_
yannah and Spain, asking for reinforcements.—
All is again war and terror.-- There are three
different powers in that c9urary ; the legitimate,
- -
O'DoNouu—the indeßendenti ITURIUDE—and

the .will of the peQpie_of the':tity of-Mexico,
'guaranteed by the Royal army. .
Quebec Papers have alSu arrived to the 12th.
Nevi; but dO 'not-bring any. news of importance.

'ln another coluoirf welliviiikserted a notable
protest, of a few of die Magistrates, -&c..of -the
.county of Bucks, against the,--.opinion and reso-
fution of a majority 'Of. ..the.Magistraey of the
;same county, on the .prOpriety of withdrawing i
the . county advertisements- "From a provincial
;Newspaper. In oppOsition the. conviction of
the Protesters, we cannot divest ourselves of the
conviction that both the Government, and the
;:subordinate authorities in the State, ought to
discriminate, on principle, • in their choice of
,those publications in. whiCh public docu-
ments are advertised ; and we confess that
we have often ..heen surprised at the mistaken
liberality with which the enemies of the Govern-
ment are thus encouraged and supported with a
part of 'the pnblicmoney. It is ridiculous to
contend that dangerous or improper publications
should be thus nourishedimerely because some of
, them have an extensive_ circulation. We put it

to The Times, for instance, whether the con'
sistent Editors of that liberal print would insert
advertisements in the publicati-Ons of CAfILILE Or.
COBBETT ?—And yet COBBETT and' CAuLta,
merely differ from The Times in• opinion.;
and their difference .with The Times, in F°'
lilies and •morals, is not greater than 'the dif'
ference which exists between the constitntional
.
supporters of the Church and State, and
the unconstitutional and dangerous doctrines of
The Times, and_ some. other Opposition Jour-
nals. If The Tunes would be justifiable in with'
holding its support and its money from CARLII,
and CoBBETr, or any other parties whose opinions
are still more dangerous
,than its own, the Go'
vernment is clearly justifiable for withholding
its pecuniary support from all who advocate
principles hostile to the institutions of the
kingdom. Besides, the circulation of a news'
paper is often increased, in consequence of 0.11
number of its advertisements. •lithe public au'
vertisements, therefore, be given to imprope
r
publications, the means are given, of increasing or,
preserving that very circulation which is erro
neously advanced as a sufficient ground to' entitle
them to those favours as a matter of right.

CORK, DEC. 7.—From the state of the.witidi
he Semiramis frigate, with Lord CoLvILLt, is

expected to arrive to-morrow, with the transport

having on board the 84th regiment ; the latter
was seen off -the Lizard. The gale was last
night, however, very severe ; and indeed the
weather, both here and in Dublin, has been most
desperate, with rain, &c. ; but these fellows, not-
withstanding, keep up their nightly depredations.

We have received Gibraltar Papers to the 20th
of November.. The Earl of CHATHAM arrive 4
there on the 15th, and landed under a salute of

19 guns : he was received by a guard of honour/
and proceeded to the Convent, where the Lieu-
tenant-Governor delivered to his Lordship the
keys of the fortress. The troops composing the
garriscn lined the whole way from the place
landing to the Convent. The insubordination of

the garrison of Ceuta, which was formerly men'
tioned; is now stated to have arisen, not fret
any political motive, but from the extreme want
to which the soldiers were reduced. On being
apprised of this,, the Commander-in-Chief Teri:
['handed them for resorting to such a mode 01
_making their complaints known. He pointed out
to' them the fatal consequences with which their
conduct might be attended in the fortress com-
mitted to their charge, and the equally danger"
ous impression their example might make on the
other corps of the army. Shortly after, depute,
