A desperate action appears to have been fought
in South America by an Insurgent privateer and
a Royalist vessel, in which the latter was victo-
rious, and captured her antagonist. This state-
silent we believe to he essentially true ; but we
can hardly credit, on.:he same autbority—that of
private intelligence—that Stich is the present state
of preparxion of Lima, that there are now be-
longing to that city 7000 men in training and
equipment, And that the levies will shortly amount
to 112,000 ; and that, therefore, no apprehensions
are entertained of a visit Imo the Insurgents.
That ti!ere are no apprehensions of the Instil.-
'gents may he trite ; but we should suspect that
the confit:cnce Nvhich exists is founded on a less
force than that above stated. -Perhaps wishes are
•substantiatol into facts.

LONDON,
TUESDAY, APRIL 13, 1819.

We rvceiYed this morning the Paris Papers of.
Saturday last. The Moniteur contains a Royal
Ordonnance respecting the formation of a Royal
Society for the amelioration of Prisons, of which
the King is to be Protector, and the Duke
d'ANGout.crite President, and enacting a number
of regulations upon the subject. It is followed
by a long Report of the Count PECAZES, on which
the Establishment of the Society is grounded, and
which is referred to in the Ordonnance. There
is nothing in these Journals respecting the re-
ported Conspiracy to poison the Eppetor of
AusTutA. The following are extracts :

" PARIS, APRIL 10.—The Duchess de Berry
has entered into the filth month of her pregnancy.
The health of her Royal Highness continues very
good.—(Moniteur Official )
" The accustomed religious ceremony took
place on Thursday, Monsieur officiating for the
King, ail yesterday the service of the day was
performed at the Chapel of the Thuilleries, in the
presence of the Princes, &c. The King heard
mass in his apartments.

" The arrival of Lord Whitworth at Paris has
gjven rise to a number of unfounded reports of
his having come on a diplomatic mission. It is
also unfounded that his Lordship wasintrodnced
w the King by the English Ambassador. Being
a personal friend of his Majesty's there was no
necessity for an introduction.
" There has been for some time, in the Swiss
Canton of Tessin, a species of volcanic eruption.
A little mountain near Mentbio has opened and
has emitted clouds of smoke, accompanied fre-
quently by flame; large blocks of stone have .been
detached from the mountain, and have rolled into
- the bed of the adjoining river ; the air around
is impregnated with sulphur.
" N. Meta, one of the Deptttieslof the Lower
Rhine, died on the 3d instant, at Strasburg.
"The Narrateur de la Meuse relates a curious event
which occurred on the Ist inst. between Behoune
and Bar le Dtic. Fifty thousand francs, in 50 bags,
were sent front Verdun in a strong box, placed se,
curdy, as it was thought, in a carriage guarded by
a malt svell armed, who accompanied the driver.
The shaking of the carriage caused the box to
give way, and the bags one by one tell out. Some
labourers working in the fields cried out several
times to the driver and the gutud, .that ,they

Ira.; last something, hut Ole utter, thinking
it was an attempt to make April fools of
them, went on 'without heeding the

Some persons passing -afterwards, were agree-
ably surpti,ed by finding bags so well lined.
Fortunately 48 of the bags, each with its com-
plement of francs, were collected mil) the most
praiseworthy integrity by an individual of Verdun,
for the owner, and inquiry is making for the other
two. Neither the driver nor the guard were in
the least aware of the loss.

" M. Courvoisier, it is thought, will make a
report this day to the Chamber of Deputies, on
one of the three laws respecting the Press. The
Chamber, it is believed, will accelerate the bu-
siness before them, so that the Session may not
be prolonged beyond May. It is reported, that
the projet respecting the re'ponsibility of Mini-
sters will not be discussed this year. The Budget
and the Press will fill up the remainder of the
Session.

" STOCKHOLM, MARCH '24 —General Montri-
chard, Intendant of the Court of
,the Qneen of
Sweden, who'is at present at Paris, has arrhed at
Stockholm. It is believed that his journey re-
lates to intended arrangements for the future
establishment of this Princess, either here or in
the French capital.
" FRAr4KFORT, APRIL 5.-It is understood that
the Diet has held several Secret 'Sittings, to deli-
berate on treasures to be taken to confine the
Univert,ities of Germany to their trite object.

" There is some doubt as to the death of Sand,
the assassin of Kotzebne.-. A Letter from Mao-
helm, of 'the 30th tilt, says, Charles Sand still
lives, and a celebrated Physician has arrived to
attend him ; he is narrowly watched, and is kep!
with the most rigorous secresy."

As the crisis which will determi»e the future
lot of our Establishment—whether it is to fall
beneath or rise above Popery—draws so awfully
near, we had intended calling the attention of our
Readers once again to this paramount subject.
We find, however, the mischiefs which, in the
utter subversion of the Protestant Church and
State, would follow Popish Emancipation, so
fully and so vividly delineated in the article of
our till' day's Literary Review, that we content
ourselves With referring our Readers to the ex-
tracts made in other columns from that interest-
ing Wotk,—From the restoration of the STUART
Tyranny, with all its attendant train of op-
pression and superstition, down to tire vexatious
intrusion of priests and familiars, it sets forth
the comprehensive. array
,of evil, into which so
many misleading Papists and misled Protestants
would .plunge the Establishment.—Dace more we
urge a serious perusal of this sportive Essay,
which all our Legislators should read ; those par-
ticularly who are bitten by the pseudo-liberality
of the present age.—We rejoice to hear that the
Work has already excited much notice,, and that,.
before the close of the recess, it will probably be
in the hands of every thinking; Protestant in the.
Empire. Anticipating the complete and final de-
feat of Popery, we shall claim our share of the,
triumph in the publiz recollection—that 'rua
SUN has faithfully and unremittingly maintained,
amidst doubt and difficulty and danger, the Pru-
testant Cause.

Lord SIDMOUTH, we are concerned to find, will
not be able to leave hi• house for several days:

WALTER 'FAWKES, ES-q.—ThiS Gentleman, fol.-
lot‘ving the la‘udable example of Sir JonN LEICES-
TER, has opened his beautiful collection of Water
Colourrd Drawings to the inspection of Amateurs,
having issued cards of invitation for that purpose.
fri.e collect ion is well chosen, and judiciously varied.
The whole is the work of British Artists, and it
therefore constitutes a delightful repast for Pa-
triotism a 3 well as Taste. • _

Mr. OwEN, R. A., one of the chief props of
the British School of Painting, is, we are sorry
to hear, very seriously ind:sposed. His love of
his Act, however, tiiumphs over illness, an-I the
approaching annual display is likely-to be graced
with some of his productions.
On Sunday Om Royal Family received letters;
from Hanover, dated the :.;th inst. which brought
the agreeable intelligence of the Duchess Of Cra-
actics having been declared out of danger on that
day. The alarming state of the Duchess had such
an effect upon the Duke as to cause hint to he in-
disposed. The letters also state that the Dochess
of CAMBRIDGE and the young Prince wet e g"ing
on extremely Well, The Prince is said to be a
very fine child.
The Algerine Ambassador is by birth an Alba-
nian, about 50 years old, and possesses much of
Enropeah civiliza:ian and manners ; he was the
Captain of the port at the time our esnedition
was at .Algiers with Lord E;tmouTki, and ire Irdd
always behaved with great friendship to the 11.'44-

Freter for the. Oriental languages. lie is not, as
stated in some of the papers, at all connected with
