QAPTURE-OF LIMA..

•
t From " The Hampshire. Telegrapb.l
Saturday afternoon arrived at -Portsmanth.the
Icarus sloop of war, Capt. IL ALGERNON IC,LIOT,
frorn.Pernantbuco, Bahia, and Rio-laneiro, which
last place he left on the 29th of March, having
had a good . passage of 52 days .to Scilly, when
she met with adverse winds. She brings ,the im-
portant intelligence that LIMA-HAS BEEN TAKEN
12714°rd COCHRANE; and General SAN MARTIN,
cetera very trifling loss, considering the strength
and importance of the capture. Two of his
Lordship's; frigates were sunk by the fire of the
batteries at Calao, but the troops under General
SAN MARTIN sustained very little Joss— The
treasure which fell into the hands of the captors
is said to be very considerable. No further par-
ticulars were known when the Icarus left Rio.
Commodore Sir THOMAS IlAttoy had left the
River Plate, in the Creole frigate, Captain I'.
WittTE- (a), and gone round Cape Horn ; having
directed :the Superb, 74, 'Capt. A. MACKENZIE,
not to proceed to England, as was intended, but
to remain in- the River for the protection of. Eng-
lish property on the eastern side of the con anent
of South America, where public events of a new
and important character were occurring almost
daily. The French line-of-battle ship Colosse, aed
Arethuse frigate, had also left the River Plate,' to
go round Cape Horn. The Owen Glendower fri-
gate, Capt. the,llon. R. C. SPENCER, had arrived at
Valparaiso. The Andromache frigate, Captain
SRERRIFF, and Conway, Captain BASIL BALL,
were also in-the South seas ; the former was '‘vait-
:ug,the approach of the summer mouths to return
'0 England, as she was in a very bad state of re-
Pair. The Slany, 26, Captain O'BRIEN, was in
the River Plate ; the. Alacrity, 16, HENRY :STAN-
H°PE, had arrived at Rio from England.
he intelligence brought by the Icarus with
respect to the expected return of the King of
PORTUGAL to his European dominions, is, that a
Squadron had been completed in provisions and
Sores for the reception and voyage to Lisbon of
birnself and part of the Royal. FaMily, and a
'lumber of the Noblesse, and his intention to re-
turn had been officially -notified to the Diplo-
Matique Corps ; but it was, notwithstanding, ex-
tremely doubtful whether his MAJESTY would
ever finally resolve to embark. The event of
,the accOuchemerit of the Princess Royal, whiCh
It' Was said_ he waited for, had some time taken.
Place, but his Majesty's departure diduot appear
to be accelerated by it. The fact appears to
11e, that the Prince 'Royal of PORTUGAL is at the
head of the party that has brought 'about the re-
'tolution in that country', and that it is his wish
tP see- his father happy and comfortable any
where but in the'Brazils; for his Royal Highness
foresees that the South American States vti iil at no
'very distant day'become independent of the t'no-,
!her country..-The-recent manifestation of publiO
'eeling at Bahia, Pernambuco, and all the north
Provinces, tends much to strengthen this belief
!„-ehe squadron fitted' out at Rio to convey the,.
KING to Lisbon, consisted of the Reyna, of 74
guns, John VI. and Maria de•Gloria frigates,nndi
transport. Conk 'de. PALMELLA intended. to
return
to Lisbon' in, 'one of these ships. Mri
FINDER, Secretary to the Count, is come 'to
ngland in'the Icarus. The Icarus brought only
t4'lll3out 40,0001. in specie ; but it was understood
t:Lre were about two 'Million§ and a. half ready
T,„sue shipped, which the sudden departure of the
,„ ,

T. We have great pleasure in stating that at
44°oghborough, in this county, a very populous
"vn, and where an extensive Manufactory is
ctl rried on, they have not had occasion for a
single levy for the poor during the last: quarter,
but have a surplus of upwards of one thousand
Pounds !—(Leicestcr Jottrrial.). . :
Several ancient spears, a cross, a brpoeb set
.with stones, and
some beads, were dug up a few days ago, near the Mills at Ash,.

Tilers and-graziers who attended. the fair at Uck-
field, on Monday se'nnight, were• determined to
