" Last night 'we had an arrival front the P.i'rer Plate,
bringing the era' disagreeable intelligence of that piece hav-
ing beer► upset by the Guerilla General Artigas, and that he,
as Chief of the new• Government of Buenos Ayres, had de-
clared w•ar against the Portuguese. Front the inquiries we
have wade, there appears to be no doubt of the information
being true."

[New Times ]
We mentioned yesterday the report communi-
cated to a vessel arrived at Bristol, of Mac Gregor
anti his !loops having been all killed or taken pri-
soners fourteen days after he had gained posses-
sion of Porto Bello. There are letters in town
from Jamaica of the 16th of May, which say no-
thing of Mac Gregor sustaining any defeat after
his capture of Porto Bello, which took place on
the 10(11 of April : now fourteen days after would
bring the date of the reported defeat to the 24th
of April ; and the passage from Porto Bello to
Jamaica (between which place there is a constant
communication) requires only eight days; the
event, therefore, had it taken place, must have
been known in Jamaica by the 2d or 3d of May;
no less than three weeks prior to the date of -the
last accounts from that Island. Letters have also
been received by a respectable house in the City
front Granada, dated so late as the 13th of May,
in which no mention is made of any battle haying
been fought between Sir Gregor Mac Gregor and
the Spanish forces, There cannot, therefore, be
the slightest foundation for the report of the de-
feat of Mac Gregor.

[The Times
Various articles in the French Papers of Satur-
day last anode to the recent revolution at the
Court of Midrid, amongst the Ministers of Fer-
dinand VII. ; but no cause has yet been assigned
for it, which rests on any higher than probable
ground?. We adhere to our first opinion, that
not only the late, but each preceding Administra-
tion, since the commencement of the present
King's reign, owed its ruin partly to that of the
finances, which could not be made to answer the
wants of the State. It is difficult to induce an
absolute Monarch to hear an unpleasant truth.
The prospect of public affairs, drawn by a Spanish
Minister for the contemplation of his Sovereign,
has seldom, we apprehend, for some years
past, been overcharged with evil ; and perhaps
the few shades which force themselves into it are
precisely those features of the painting which
soonest escape the Royal observation. He, there-
fore, who knows not thereat helplessness of his king-
dom, will naturally expect from the public servants
more than they are able to execute. He will
acquit the Monarchy, which he identifies with his
own personal greatness, and throw the blame of
every misfortune on the Ministry, which, with a
breath, he banishes from his presence, and
separates front all partnership or connexion with
his Crown. We may apply to the intercourse be-
tween some Kings and their Ministers, that has
grown into a proverb as to man and wife—that
" when poverty comes in at the door, love" too
often " flies out at the window." The peculiar
temper of Ferdinand VII. may no doubt have its
share in the production of chose frequent and
abrupt dismissals, which, in spite of the nominal
disgrace that attends them, we really suspect to be
among the most agreeable incidents in the lives of
those upon whom they fall. M. Lozando de Torres
holds his post es Minister of Justice. The Chevalier
Orris arrived at Paris on the 24th inst.; rumour des-
tines hint an important office in the new Spanish
Ministry—a conjecture which, if well founded,
NV wild rather serve to discountenance the suspicion
that theFlot ids treaty which he had negotiated was
the ulnae of Don Yrujo's downfall ; since this
would be to exalt the instrument of an act of
which it was thought necessary to disgrace the re-
jutted author. The real author, it is, asserted, must
lie looked for among the predecessors of M. Casa
Yrujo ; 25 Cabinet Ministers have been changed
since the return of Ferdinand to his country.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30, 1819.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Sunday last. In the Chamber of Deputies on Sa-
turday the discussion was commenced on the
articles of the Budget of Ways and Means. M.
LAINE proposed an amendment, to take off the
duties on wine and brandy exported, but which
was negatived by a majority of 185 to 81. The
discussion of other articles was adjourned till
Monday. The following are extracts :
" Pam, JUNE 27.--The King yesterday trans.
acted business with the Minister for Foreign Af-
fairs, and gave a private audience to the Marquess
de la Tour du Pin. Saturday, in the Chautber of
the Deputies, the Members of the Deputation,
who had had the honour of being introduced that
morning to the King, gave the most satisfactory
account of the state of his Majesty's health. It
appears to be certain that the King will this day
proceed to the Chapel of the Thuilleries, and that,
until his journey to St. Cloud, his Majesty will
resume his airings.
" The celebrated Austrian General, the Count
de Beaulien, is dead at Lintz, aged 93.
" Lately, in digging a field between Lunel and
:\L!lliliargnes (tlvraul!), a hbOlirer fo1:!)(?a great

n't'imber of gold and siirer coins. 11,e silver
pieces appear to belong to the times of Raymond
V. Count of ; Ott one side is a ducal
crosQ., the inscription " IL. Comes l'alatii;"
and, on 11:e other, is a Star on a crescent, sup-
posed to he the HMIs of the Count, with the in-
scription t " Dux Marchio Po:. The gold pieces
are Arabic coins, supposed to have been brought
into France at the time of the irruption of the
Saracens, who extended their conquests to Pro-

venee.
" It appears to be determined upon thEit the
Icing's journey to St. Cloud will take place about
the Bth or 12th July.

JUNE 16.—The Emperor and Em-
press have decided to prolong their stay in Italy.
It has beets announced that they will not return
here till the end of August. They will go for a
fortnight or three weeks to the Baths of Pisa in
Tuscany.
" The marriage of the Archduchess Caroline o F
Austria, with Prince Frederick of Saxony, will
take place the 9th September at Schoenbrunn;
" The Emperor has ordered a superb service
of porcelaine at the grand manufactory of Vienna.
It is intended for the Duke of Wellington, and
presents designs of the principal victories of
that General.

" Lady Morgan is expected here in the autumn
of next winter.

sr COPENHAGEN, JUNE 15.—Several Danish
Officers proceed to Scania, to witness the military
manoeuvres, for which put pose they have received
passports from the Swedish Legation. This cir-
cumstance proves that there is no foundation for
the reports circulated of a serious misunderstand,
ing between the two Courts."

There are accounts this morning from Buenos
Ayres up to 17th March ; the Letters mention,
that there was the greatest agitation and alarm
respecting ARTIGAS, who was advancing on the
Capital 'with 10,000 Wen j it was believed that
the Forces sent to oppose him had joined his Stan-
dard ; a Revolution was expected, and no doubt
was entertained but that there would be an
immediate Declaration of War against the
Brazils Government. The Portuguese Con-
sul was imprisoned on the 20th February, and re-
mained in gaol up to the 15th March there Was
great alarm and agitation amongst the EnliAi
residents.

Lord CoCURANa sailed from Valparaiso in the
middle at January, viith four ships of war, to Lima.

\Vc teeently received a Letter from Jamaca,
arraigning us very severely on account of a para-
graph which first appeared in ins SON, respect-
ing a distingOshed female Traveller, and which
was copied into the Ja►naica Journal, with a re-
ference to its origin in our Paper. \Ve shall re-
insert that paragraph for our own justification,
as we conceive that it contains nothing incon-
sistent with candour and a due regard to good
morals and propriety of conduct, particularly in
those of high rank, who ought to hold forth an
impressive example to the community in general.
The following is the paragraph in question :

We are informed, in a quarter to which we have been
eften indebtedfor important intelligence, that a Gentleman,
of very high character at the Chancery Bar, has visited a dis-
tinguished Female in Italy, for the purpose of preparing her
to expect a minute investigation of her conduct. It must be
evident that the reports which have lung been in circulation,
and which recent events are said to render more striking,
loudly call for inquiry.—lf the Lady of any Nobleman in Eng-
land continued flitting about the world with simular
lity, would not the husband incur censure if he did not re-
solutely demand investigation."
Our Jamaica Correspondent signs herself A
Female Obserrer, and, from what we hear at home,
probably expresses the sentiments of many of her
sex on this subject. It is particularly our wish to
gratify our female Readers, and for that purpose
we endeavour to render our Paper as miscellaneous
as possible, when we can do 30 consistently with
a proper attention to subjects of essential import-
ance, such as the preservation of our happy Esta-
blishmen! in Church and State, a firm resistance of
Poetsx intruaion into our Legislature, and a
due support of regular Solicitors, to .whotn
the property and happiness of people in gene-
fel are entrusted, against those Empirics in
the Law, whose ignorance and presumption may
involve their deluded Clients in ruin. All the,:c
subjects, and others of national interest, have
been amply and ably discussed in our Paper. and
consequently, with the intervention of frequent
and protracted Debates in Parliament, have tend-
ed to lessen that variety by which we wish to ren-
der THE SUN generally acceptable to the PrlbliC
at large. With respect to the pat egraph which
has drawn on us so nntelt bitter censure from our

CUT:rOcii..)ll(!t. are nd.t
I►osed to recant a syllable of what ►'ve before st►id
on the subject, nod we are the more inclined ti)
resume our attention to it, because it is under-
stood; that the Gentleman, who is said to have
been cOinmissioncd by \high Authority to g°
phroad fur the purpose of collec►ing such
formation as it is of importance to the CotwtrY
to knOw, has returned, and, according to report,
is provided %vitt; such anthentic intelligence, as is
likely to undergo a solemn investigation, and to
lead to consequences highly interesting to l"
Empire. It would ill become us to say Incire
on the subject, in the present state of the alisie.

We have repeatedly bailed the attention of ot4
Rulers to the critical situation of the Country'
arising from the arts by ivh!eh wicked men ore
attempting to %yolk upon the disttesses of Manufa
hirers, Stc. in various quarters, and to rouse trier"
into rebellion. It appears now that very strong rue4'
sures Must he adopted, as we find that there
tious men have contrived to institute even a Social
of FEMALE REFORMERS at Blackburn, for the
sane purpose, the Resolutions of which we
sort in our Paper this day, in order to 3001'
late Government, xvhich, however, we trirtP
needs no incentive, to pet form its duty, o'4
to check the evil in due time, otherwise the con-
tagion may spread all over the country, and lead
to the most lamentable consequences. We ageiri
recommend forbearance, and caution to those Or
position Prints, which, though adVerse to
stern, are friends to that good old Const'ttvit'n
which has so long rendered us formidable abrucia
and happy at home.

At a Public Meeting hell at the Crown WI
Anchor on Monday last, Doctor WATSON
nounced to those present, that it was the inter"
tion of the Reformists in the Metropolis shordi
to convene a Public Meeting, to he held trt
Smithfield, for the purpose of corresponding 94
co-operating with the Reformists in the North...-.
We sincerely hope the Meeting of these Spafields
Gentry, which is intended to be held by them'
will be controlled by the strong hand of the Law'

C'►ev-EXCHANGE, JUNC 30.--We had very lit"
de English Wheat at Market this morniog, far
which higher prices were asked, and, in a few
instances, from Is. to 2i. per quarter more o'3l
made than on Monday, in consequence"of the
unsettled state of the weather. Barley fully 3or
ports Monday's pikes, and Oats are it. per tt►tar~
ter dearer, arid at that

meet ready sale. Tease and English Beans sofa
on full as good terms as on Monday, but there
no demand for those from the Mediterranean, al•
though offered at low prices. •
