her or Colonel AlVerado with the first battalion
of grenadiers of Hase, composed of 'BOO men,
with all its officers. The same dispatch an-
nounces 'the capture of the city and garrison of
Nerves. An article from Buenos Ayres says,
that the lugger Terrible, passing Callao, learnt
that the squadron had captured four valuable
merchantmen from Cadiz, one of which was very
valuable.

" LIMA.—The last accounts from the Head-
quarters of General San Martin state, that Gene-
ral O'Reilly, with MO men, on his march to

CANADA.—We have just received a series of the
Quebec Gazettes to the 2fi of April., fro►ri which
we shall give some Extracts to-morrow.

Sim HARCOURT LEES.—The appeals of this
learned and truly patriotic Baronet to the People
of the Empire, in support of our Constitution in
Church and State, have made such an impression
in Ireland as to correct the public mind and to
rouse a general spirit of loyalty. We have in-
serted his 13th Letter this day, and have, to re-
peat our regret that we were not able to present
to our Readers the whole series of his animated,
dloquent, and instructive exhortations.

CRUELTY.

Mr.Eurrott—ln the discussion on Friday last,
in the House of Commons, on the Bill to prevent
Cruelly to Horses, a Noble Member propoied
that every charge of cruelty should be established
by two witnesses to the act. None will ques-
tion the propriety of such .a provision in general;
yet the, e are particular cases in which the act,
or rather fact, of craelty demonstrates itself, and
requires no other testimony. I shall mention
one. When a dray-horse (or other horse) is
found to want one or both of his eyes in the
socket or sockets in which nature had placed
them, this disaster must have ensued from fero-
cious passion and cruelty, exercised without re-
straint on the su&ring animal ; unless such un-
usual injury should have been the consequence
of some very extraordinary accident, which could
hardly have happened without affording means
of proof sufficient for the exculpation of the
owner or drivesr.

HOMO.

TIM KING'S Tours.—Of the various move-
ments for the summer in contemplation of his MAJESTY, none
appears so fully decided upon as his visit to Ireland. Indeed
it is now considered as quite certain. His Majesty proposes to
set out on Wednesday, the 27th instant. This arrangement
proceeds upon the supposition that the remaining business
before Parliament will be disposed of in three weeks, so
that the Session may close about the 24th. His Majesty will
be accompanied by his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence,
and attended by the great officers of State, and all the mem-
bers of the Royal Household necessary to his personal con-
venience. The Secretary of State for the Home Department
will accompany his Majesty, but it is not certain that the-attend-
ance of any other of the Ministers will be required. His
doctor, Sir Matthew Tierney, and Mr. Walker, his apothe-
cary, will be in his suite, and many Noblemen and persons
of distinction,: and particularly Irish, will avail themselves
of the opportunity to visit Dublin at the same timq, as
a mark of their respect to his Majesty, and to contribute
by their rank and numbers to the eclat of the scene.—
We lately stated that his Majesty would not sleep out of the
Castle of Dublin, and that his excursions would be limited to
an extent round that city, within the compass of being acconi-
plished in a thy. This arrangement. remains unaltered; but
this extent, alttigh thus !nri lted in space, contains great ca-
pability and attrabtion. 11, 'thin it. are Slane Castle, the beau-
tiful seat of the Marquis of Conyngham, on the banks of
the Boyne, in the County of Meath, and .ad joining Beau
-Park, the seat of Mr. Lambert, brother-in-law of the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland, also in the same county. Slane Castle
is little more than twenty miles from Dublin. Preparations are
making there for his Majesty's reception.—(Bnrrisii PnEss.)
