HIS MAJESTY.

We have the pleasure to state, that his Royal
Highness the Duke of YORK received a Dis-
patch this day, announcing his MAJESTY'S arrival
yesterday, at half-past four o'clock P. M., at
Calais.

Cortes.

timore.

DEAL, SEPT. 25.—liarly this morning, the
Royal Squadron (except the Dell and Active
frigates) weighed and stood as close in to Rams-
gate as possible; and about half-past noon his
MAJESTY, in the Royal George yacht,: passed
the Downs, with a fine breeze and most favour-
able weather, and proceeded direct for Calais.
When abreast of Walmer Castle, a salute was
fired from thence, and double Royal salutes
from the ships iu the Downs. The appearance
of the whole was truly interesting—a number of
boats from this place, filled with company, were
seen clustering round the Royal yacht. The ships
composing the squadron are this evening return-
ing to the Downs, after escorting his MAJESTY
across the Channel.

Another Lctter•, sane date.—The Royal
George yacht passed through the Downs at about
half-past twelve, A. M. for Calais, in a roost ma-
jestic style, with His MAJESTY on board, follow-
ed by the rest of the Squadron, and a great num-
ber of pleasure boats of all descriptions. The
Squadron anchored in Calais roads at half-past
three.

CALAIS, SEPT. 25, 11 O'CLOCK, A. M.-Our
little place is quite alive this morning, as it is
now certain the ICING will arrive at Calais. The
Duke of WELLINGTON and Marquess of LONDON-
DERRY arrived yesterday, and this instant the
Venus steam vessel is come in with Sir BENJ AMIN
BLOOMFI ELL,' and Sir WM. CURTIS, son, &c.—
We hear the cannon firing in. the Downs, and
are all anxiously waiting the sight of the yacht.
The quay is covered with people, and the wea-
ther being very fine, the greatest gaiety prevails.

Jamaica Papers arrived this morning to the
16th August (by the Mail), which contain the
following important intelligence :

j?rom the Royal Gazette of the 11th August.]

By the Esperanza accounts were received
from Panama to the 20th ult. respecting the con-,
test in Peru. Intelligence, it appears, has been
brought by the schooner Gztadaloupe, in 10 dais,
from Payta, which, we hear, is of the utmost im-
portance. The Chilian Commander, SAN MAR-
tIN, having left behind him a garrison of 900
invalids, embarked at Quacho with four thou-
sand men, who were landed at the Che-
rillas, situate within two leagues of Lima.—
The Royalist army immediately attacked the
troops of SAN MARTIN with great intrepidity,
whom they routed with immense slaughter, up-
wards of 1600 of the Chilian troops having been
left dead on the field of battle. SAN MARTIN,
with the remainder of his corps, favoured by
the approach of night, fled with the utmost
precipitation, and escaped on board the ves-
sels, where they -embarked ;. their destina-
tion was unknown. Now the cause of the
Patriots appears to wear a very unfavourable
aspect.

The Lisbon Mail received this morning con-
tains nothing of any importance.—We extract the
•
following :

LISBON, SEPT. 6.—The Sittings of the Cortes continue in
the regular course, without presenting any thing very remark-
able.

In the Sitting of the 28th August, a rather warm debate en-
sued on the reading of a note from the Minister of the Interior,
in which he asked whether..his Majesty could nominate to the
office of the Secretaries of State for the several departments

into Which the of airs of the kingdom are divided, one of hif
Counsellors ?

After the debate, it was proposed and carrried that " th 6
King cannot appoint one of his Counsellors to the office of Se'
cretary of State, nor to any other office or employment."

In the sitting of the •lth of September, N. B. Carneiro said he
had received a mess'age, wriiten. by Jose Machado Cosrea, a
native of Bahia, which, in his opinion, clearly proved the utiliti
and the necessity of allowing the Clergy to marry.

The Deputies of Pernambuco have taken their seats in the

New York Papers to the sth of September, and
Boston to 29th of August, were received this
morning. The following are extracts :
" A dangerous plot was discovered at Saint John's, Porto
Rico, on the 24th ult. ; many of the Black Chiefs have been se'
cured, and will suffer death. The hellish work was to have
commenced on the night of the 25th. • •
" Fnom ST. AVGUSTINE.—By the sloop Niagara, arrived
yesterday, we learn that the schooner Alexander, of this Fort,
one of the transports to Havanna, had returned to St. Augus-
tine ; the Captain and all the crew, with the exception of tad
cook, having died, the vessel was carried into port by two pas'
sengers.

" The Franklin Gazette states that a malignant fever core
tinues to make serious ravages among the inhabitants of nal'

" By a statement from the Physicians of New Utreeilt, •;,`l'fch
appears in the Long Island Patriot, it appears that ita
ing yellow fever exists at that place."

The complaint of the Canadians respecting
the hardships entailed on them by our restric-
tions on their trade in corn, must be attended to.,
The only argument which can be employed/
attempting to refuse their just demands, is, that
the importation of Canadian produce may ttl
some degree injure the English land-owner.--
Very well.—Let this be admitted.—Let the
broad fact, that, even with the risks and the
charges of a . long sea voyage, the produce of -
the Canadas can be brought to the
markets at a lower price than would remunerate
the English farmer, be distinctly stated, and al-
lowed all the weight to which it is in justice en-
titled.—But let it also be recollected, that the
Canadas form an integral portion of the emplie
and that if, from their position, they possess
the power of acquiring some commercial
taxes over us, the same position necessarily err,
tails upon them numerous 'political as well e 5
commercial disadvantages. No case can be more
plain than that which they make out. If the
English land-owner is in some degree iiabW t°
be injured by permitting the free importation of
Canadian corn, the English manufacturer, the
English people generally, and the revenue, are
sure to be much more than proportionably bene-
fited. It may be very hard on the English land-
owners that the Canadians, who do not Pay s°
many taxes, nor live so luxuriously a we d°
in England, should, by the cheapness and abun-
dance of their produce, effect a reduction in the
value of land in England. But it is equally
hard that the superior fertility of some of °lr
own lands in this country renders many of the
poorer soils of very little value, and the
poorest soils of no value whatever. The proprietor
of a barren moor may well sigh, when he reflects
that if the luxuriant fields of his neighbours were
as steril as his own, the effect, to him, would ill
some degree be the same as if his land were ret"
rldered as fertile as theirs ! While many f3r°s
are let at 60s. or 70s. an acre, and others at `7;
or 305., what a happy thing would it be for e
owners of the latter if a Parliamentary curs
could be imposed upon the fertility of P:—
former !—This would be the way, for J(i e'm
years, to elevate the rents of all the land to
higher rate than is now obtained by the best. n
it would also be the surest way possible to de`
stroy the prosperity of the whole pevle, and inlic
the long run to render even the land itself of
little value in England as it now is in the thin!sve,
populated regions r'f .‘treierica. The injury to,

SIR ROBERT WILSON.--'Phis Gentleman/ "h-
-learn from the authority of the Papers which
advocate his cause, has addressed a letter to the
Commander in Chief) " requiring some exPlan3'
Lion of the causes of his dismissal from the ser'
vice, and demanding a public investigation of WI
conduct, in the' form either of a Court Martia
or Court of Inquiry;" but it is said, that te 11"

tertheleSs expedts a ratisal. This point is s°
well argued in the Morning Post of this day, as
I'4ll be found in our Extracts from the London
Journals (see the fourth page), that we need not
make any further comment on the subject.—But
it is somewhat curious that the Paper from which
We have copied the above passage, wishes " that
Sir R. WILSON may not persist in the resolution
of stating his case to his Constituents of South-
wark, and thus afford time, and perhaps ma-
terials, to trump up a new case against himself.
Let him hear an explanation of the offence with
which he stands charged, and make his defence
before the Parliament of which he is a member'
It is indisputably a question for Parliament."
The Paper which reasons thus seems to he a
very short-sighted advocate, for it does not seem
to he aware that Sir ROBERT'S address to his
Constituents may be materially instrumental in
promoting the subscription in his favour, before the
Charges against him are submitted to the public,
either through the medium of the Newspapers in
his service, or by a Parliamentary investigation.
Sir ROBERT'S wiser friends know that it is better
Policy to " strike the iron while it is hot," for in
the interim it may cool, and during the investi-
gation become entirely cold ! The observation
that
" it is indisputably a question for Parlia-
ment" is not only an impeachment on the judg-
ment of Sir ROBERT, but excites a suspicion
that the Paper alluded to is apprehensive that
the character and conduct of the Knight would
derive no benefit from an investigation cc in the
f°ll/1 either of a Court Martial or Court of In-
quiry.), At all events, except on the ground of
Pecuniary policy, it is not very consistent in the
Ruight to think of a public Address to his Con-
stituents before the charges against him are made
kn°%vu, and at the same time demanding a mi-
litary trial. We leave the Paper in question to
extricate him from this dilemma.

Price; New Wheats did not maintain their prices of Monday,
