the 156, at seven at night, the following news,
which is confirmed by the papers published at
Lima, and by private letters, viz.—That by virtue
of the Armistice concluded between tha Viceroy
Lacerna and General San Martin, prolonged for
nine days more; the former proposes to the latter
that all the towns which are now in the power
of the army of Chili shall remain under the com-
mand of General San Martin ; that Lima shall
continue in its present situation without any
change in its government ; that both parties shall
name their respective Deputies, who shall pro-
ceed to Spain to obtain the ratification of
independence, for which purpose there shall
be an amnesty for the space of eighteen months,
reckoning from the date of its conclusion ; the
fortress of Callao, of which San Martin's forces
have obtained possession, remaining a pledge
until the return of the said deputies ; trade and
communications to be in the meantime free.
That San Martin, who did not agree to these
propositions, demanded the surrender of the
capital, upon which being done, he would allow
a free communication, and wait for the de-
termination of the deputies who were to go to
Spain ; that during the time of the negociations,
San Martin had permitted the necessary provisions
to enter Lima; that his troops were advancing
from some points which they occupied upon the
capital, with the design of besieging it more
closely.—The public papers of Lima which I
have seen in the house of Col. Pereira contain a
representation from the Secular Chapter to the
Viceroy, describing the evils with which the
capital is threatened by the destructive war
carrying on. It dwells on the devastation of the
country to the extent of 9.5 leagues in circumfe-
rence ; the division of public opinion ; the dis-
content of the natives in consequence of the scar-
city of provisions ; and the necessity of coming to
an understanding with the besieging force, by
which alone his Excellency could preserve his
authority. The result of this representation is
not known. There is also in these papers a let-
ter signed by a military officer, pointing out to
Lacerna the resources of which he might avail

himself, and stating plans of defence. The writer
calls loudly for the combat, and instigates to a
vigorous resistance. What may have been done
in consequence of this energetic exposition is not
yet known.—According to 'the letter of Guido,
which I have seen, written on board the frigate
Cleopatra, in Callao, where the deputies of both
parties are assembled, L.K. says that they would
resort again to arms, but that Lima must surren-
der in consequence of the division among the au-
thorities, the discontent of the natives, the forces
with which it is surrounded, and its being deprived
of all support. I). Q. E. who also writes from
Callao to the English commander, states that
Lacerna bad assured him, in the vessel in which
he then was, that in consequence of the divi-
sions in Lima, and the want of aid, no other
resource was left but that of making an arrange-
ment beneficial to both the contending parties.—
, The Captain of the English frigate arrived at
Valparaiso further adds, that the longest period
which Lima can hold out is one month, or at most
two, for the people proclaim their dissatisfaction,
the military chiefs are divided, and the troops
of Lima are daily deserting to the invading
army."

ILtouE, Nov. 10.—From accounts officially
communicated it appears, that in general the
Cholera Morbus, in the Island of Java, was di-
minishing very considerably. From the Reports
received from some of the Residencies it is to be
observed, that many persons have been recovered
by a timely use of what is called the Cholera
Mixture, consisting of brandy, laudanum, and
oil of peppermint ; and in consequence thousands
of the natives have eagerly applied to the local
authorities for this remedy. Our Papers con-
tain-the detailed Reports for the Ist, Bth, 15th,
22t1 and 29th June, and 21st July.—The follow-

ing extracts will shew the decrease of the num-
ber of deaths daily in the principal places :

Report of June 1.

SITTING.OF THE 9TH. NOVEMBER.

The Order of the Day was the debate on the
project of law for the apportioning of the Land
Tax, the duty on Household Furniture, &c.
among the different provinces of the kingdom.
The only Member who spoke on this occasion
was Mr. Wernouck, of Antwerp, who, in giving
his assent to the measure proposed, took the op-
portunity of Oserving, that however the Members
may differ on some points, it is only with respect
to the best means of promoting the happiness of
the country, all being animated with the same
zeal to increase its prosperity. Can such diffe-
rences be a reason to breed hatred and alienation
between us ? Rather let concord and reciprocal
esteem draw closer the ties which unite us. Let
a frank and enlightened controversy be no more
considered as hostile to the Government, but on
the contrary, as the greatest service that can be
rendered it. Then, and not before, we may co-
operate constantly and efficaciously with his Ma-
jesty towards the prosperity of our common coun-
try, and answer in some measure the expectation
of our constituents. The honourable Member,
in giving his assent to the project, expressed a
hope that the speedy completion of the CadastrZ.,
or Survey of the Kingdom, would enable the
Government to form a plan for remedying the de-
fects of the present system, by which some pro-
vinces had a larger- proportion to pay than they
