SOUTH AMERICA.

Letters dated the 28th July were received
yesterday from Buenos Ayres, and the Ist of
August from Monte Video, on the opposite bank
of the river Plate. No accounts, it is stated,
had been received from Chili for some . months
by the regular mail, the disturbed state of the
:interior having long prevented all information by
that channel. A few travellers with great diffi-
colt), .and danger occasionally effected the jour-
ney, but as the haste and secrecy With which
they Were compelled to travel would not permit
the- incumbrance of letters,fl reat ignorance pre-
vailed in Buenos Ayres regarding. the situation
of the independent cause in Peru. Better pros-
pects appear to await the province and surround..
ing territory of Buenos Ayres, which have so
long been a prey to internal quarrels, and the.
struggles of so many different parties for pre-
eminence. The death of Ramirez has been a
fatal blow to the cause of which he was the
leader. The accession of Salta and Tucuman to
the league, which was deemed certain, would
give increased strength and consequence ; and
the extirpation. of the Montoneros, with the esta-
blishment of a federal Government, might be ex-
pected to follow.—At Monte Video a revolution
of an important nature has occurred, that pro-
vince having declared itself a portion of the Bra-
zils. An-Assembly of the Representatives of-the
People was called on the 15th of July, to consider
that step, or the alternative of establishibg an in-
dependent Government. They chose to become
a province of Brazil, but on what terms is not dis..
tinctly stated. It is mentioned as one indispens-
able condition, that 6,000 European troops shall
,be maintained for their protection. We may
doubt, however, whether the United Govern-
ment of Portugal and the Brazils may think the
adherence of Monte-Video `worth purchasing at
so expensive a rate;'. yet it is•clear that their vi-
cinity to the roving tribes that have so long been
the scourge -of
.Buenos Ayres, render ,a large mi-
litary force indispensable, and the province iS.too
poor, unassisted, to support them. Vessels had
previously been sent from Rio de' Janeiro to
bring off the troops from thence,ut they were
disembarked as soon as the above determination
was adopted, and the vessels sent back. The
military were by no means satisfied with their
detention, as it appeared to remove the Prospect
they had of receiving their pay, which was no
less than 23 months in arrear. On the night of
the 24th of July, therefore, they advanced, in
arms, to the gates of Monte Video, .and demand-
ed admission. Being refused, they were on the
point of forcing them, when their commander,
General Lecor, appeared. The soldiers, instead
of submitting to his authority, loaded him with
reproaches,. and demanded their pay. General
Lecor was only able to pacify them by promising
within one month the full payment of all the
arrears. Should he be compelled to forfeit his
word, which the exhausted state of his military
chest and of the treasury at Monte Video ren-
dered extremely probable, very serious conse-
quences were apprehended from the resentment
of the soldiery.

If this is approved,' time should not be lost in the acting tkpon
it, before any other is Carried into effect.
I am not unknown fo you, but have no wish to have my name
used on this occasion, being well aware, that as this may.suit
many, so it may offend many. I have myself no further inte-
rest than a possible participation in the saving of 70, miles be-
tween Swansea and London.

This, we imagine, was intended for the Western.—Enr.

LEICESTER, SEPT. 28.

On Monday last, the Hon and Riglit Rev. the Lord Bishop
of Lincoln• commenced his primary visitation of this Archdea-
conry. After holding Confirmations on Monday, and Tuesday
mornings, at St. Martin's Church, his Lordship proceeded to
hear Divine Service. The Sermon on Monday was preached
by the Rev. R. Davies, Vicarof St. Nicholas, in this town ; and
on Tuesday, by the Rev. Mr. Walker, Rectoi of Galby : at
the conclusion of the . service, his Lordship held his Visitation
in the Consistory Court, and delivered an excellent and very
judicious charge to the Clergy. -We were gratified to find the
strictness observed by the Bishop in the Licensing of Curates,
which has long been a point very necessary to be enforced in
Ecclesiastical affairs. .

•
On Thursday last, the A nniversary,M eeting of the Gartree Dis-
trict Committee, in aid of the Society forliromoting Christian
Knowledge, was held at SI arket Harborough. After an excel.
lent Sermon had been preached, at the Church, by the Rev.
Mr. Holdich, Rector of Maidwell, Northamptonshire, a nume-
rous and highly respectable meeting of the Clergy and Laity
was held at the George Inn,- Sir Henry Raiford, Bart., in the
Chair. This meeting was honoured with the presence of the
Lord Bishop of the Diocese. - After the Report of the COntinit-
! tee had been- read by the Secretary, (Rev. Mr. Apthorp,)
the'Bishop addressed the meeting in an animated speech, ex-
pressive of his cordial approbation of the object it had met to
promote, and hii high satisfaction upon that, his first entry
into his Diocese.; in obServing the zeal and assiduity Which
had been displayed in support of the very excellent Society
with which the Committee were connected. His. Lordship eon.
gratulated the'Clergy-Upon the signal' co-openatioti which they
had received from the Laity in the' prosecution rof the concerns
of the Society. The very numerous attendance of the Laity
Upon that occasion spewed the good understanding which sub-
sisted in the district. between them and the Clergy. He re-
garded it as a proof that the Clergy had not been remiss in the
performance of their duties, and he was convinced that the
Laity would not-desert the Clergy, if the Clergy did not desert
themselves.—After the several Resolutions had been unani-
mously adopted, a nut), exceeding forty sat down to dinner.
We are sorry ourlimits will not allow us to detail the many very-
excAlent addresses which were delivered by the Lord Bishop,
Sir H. Halford, Mr. NI aior, &c. &c. The collection at the
church was very liberal, and the day was spent with the greatest
satisfaction. An offer of theßishop to preach a sermon for the
benefit of the Society on his next triennial visitation, was ac-
cepted with grateful thanks of applause. Edmund Major, Esq.
and the Rev. Mr. Holdich Were elected stewards for the ensuing
year. _ _ -

On Friday last, a most excellent and impressive discourse
was delivered by the Lord Bishop of Lincoln, for Nthe,benefit of
the Infirmary :_ the text 'selected on the occasion was the Gth
chap. Galatians, 9th and part of the 20th verses, " Let us not
be weary in welldoing :" for in due season we shall reap if we
faint not : As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good
unto all men." The collection amounted to the sum of £ll7
Os. 2d. The. plates at the doors were held as follows :
South Door. North Door.
Duke of Rutland I Earl Howe
Countess Howe Lady Eliz. Manners
Earl of Denbigh Lord Robert Manners
Duchess of Rutland I Viscountess Fielding.
On Friday last, Mr. Alderman Ireland was chosen Mayor of
this BoroUgh for the year ensuing; Mr. William Hackett and
Mr. Nicholas Higginson, Chamberlains. Charles Colethan
and Thos.- Marston; Gents. Aldermen ::llir. Thos..Vates and
Mr. Thos. Cooke, Coroners. . .
After some hesitation the Nottingham Players have accepted
the Challenge from the Leicester Club to play for'Fifty Guineas
aside, by eleven resident in each Town. The match is expect-
ed to be played in the neighlSourhood of Loughborough. - -
The comanry Cavalry of the County, under the command
of Colonel Keck, have bean on duty during. the week ; and it
is expected that they will finish their exercise this cht, as a
grand field clay.

The wbject of Sir JOHN HAY WARD'S Charity
is likely to be brought again before the LORD
CHANCELLOR, by' the guardians of the jioor of
the parish of St. Nicholas, Rochester, who, if
they succeed, expect to gain the funds unw in
Court amounting to about 16,000/., and the inte-
rest arising for considerable estates in Devonshire.

FIFTH ASCENSION OF THE AERONAUT, GREEN.
By Advertisement, the above intrepid Aero-
naut- was to ascend in his Coronation Balloon,
from the Gasometer inclosure, in "Blackroek
bottom, at noon this day. From eleven to twelve
o'clock, therefore; almost the collective popu-
lation• of the town were verging towards that
point) and the roads and Downs were nume-
rously interspersed with individuals' as tempo-
rary visitants from other quarters. Soon after
the latter period, the assemblage at Black Rock
was immense, and animated was the scene pre-
sented on the contiguous Downs. The display
of carriages was imposing—equestrians •were in
scores, but those on- foot were far beyond all
count. The picture, altogether, was as lively
as can be imagined, for the weather was bril-
liantly . adapted to . the occasion Soon after
noon, at least 30,000 persons. Were assembled,
and these, for two hours, were kept." on the
stretch of expectation for the desired result.—
At five Minutes' after two o'clock precisely the
balloon was released " from the - ropes; and as,
cended from the Gasometer to about the vertical
distance of 60 yards, when it more steadily de-
scended.,•and its intended aerial flight 14 many
was regarded as impossible. The wind blew
fresh, West by North, but that could not pre-
vent its declension; it reached the earth in the
midst of anxious thousands, all rapidly resolving
themSelveS, as 'it- were,"into a solid body On the
spot where the car had struck. ThiS
unlook-
ed for Change; however,
,was but of short
continuance—the car , was speedily lightened
of part of its ballast,. and the balloon once
more 'tea a direction for the . regions • above.
—Mr. GREEN waved his hat as he ascend-
ed, and loud and simultaneous were the
cheers below. The , ballast, when a progress
of miles. had been made in the regions of
airy space, was farther reduced ; it consisted of
sand, which.for.a considerable time continued its
suspension, assuming the shape of clouds, be.
tweet' earth and sky. The balloon now made
rapid way, in a direction East by South, with
the world of waters beneath it, and eventually,
in sernethirai better than twenty minutes from
the commencement of its ascension, having
reached a measureless distance above the cloUds,,,
it entirely disappeared. -Curiosity was now sa"
tiated,and the countless crowd, like a mountain
torrent, resistless iu its course, streamed for the
town, and -branched
`off for neighbouring parts.
The race days, in animated confusion, produced
nothing equal to it. Anxiety now has superseded
curiosity, and that some account of the descent
and Mr: GREEN may reach us in the course of
the night, is the prevalent hope. Our fishing
boats are numerous and active in the Channel.

Six o'clock, p. m.--An account has just ar-
rived that Mr. GREEN and his balloon had been
picked up at sea, between three and four o'clock,
off Seaford Cliffs, between Newhaven and East-
borne, about three leagues from the shore. It
was a providential escape. One of the packets
from Dieppe, the Units, Capt. CLEAR, having
been driven out of her direct course by the wind,
was off Seaford Cliffs, and observed the balloon
and Mr. GREEN drop into the sea. The packet's
boat was instantly put off, and Mr. •Gitr..N was
first taken on board, and then the balloon:
Nine o'Cle ck, p. m.—Mr. GREEN has descended
in the Chaimel off Seaford ; he was assisted by
the packet belonging to Capt. CLEAR, and he
andifis balloon, therefore, are once more in safety.

, .
NEWHAVEN T, OCT. 2. FOUR O'CLOCK, P.M.—From the
rapid manner. Mr. .Green had travelled, not having been more
than six minuteSfrom his starting-until over this place, a dis-.
tance of eight niiieS, there is no doubt, had he wished it,- he
might have drank-tea in France; but, it is presumed, he did
•not fancy the pond he saw under him, for he alighted in the
sea, about a mile and a half from land, off Cuckinere, where
the balloon was boarded- and taken possession of by the Cap-
tain of the packet Unity, who, no doubt, had the ,Lasing task
of saving \lr. Green from a watery grave. As the packet- has
had no communication with the shore, it is impassible to say
what are the particulars as to the state in which-the balloon, &c.
were found: It is calculated -that upwards of 20,000 perscins
were present when Mr. Green ascended. Ile-left his friends
below in good spirits : he seemed delighted with his journey,
but perhaps he did not calculate on having a sea voyage. flow-
ever, he may rest assured that, had he been father, brother,
uncle, or cousin, to-those who beheld him, they could not have
expressed more anxiety for his welfare.
(Fnom THE BRIGHTON CHnoxleLE.)—Twelve was the.
time announced for the ascent; but, from some cause or other,
the public were kept in anxious suspence until eight minutes
past two, when the balloon was seen to rise in a slow and ma-
jestic style. The aeronaut waved his hat, and was cheered by
the spectators. From the weight it bore, the balloon took a
South-westerly direction, and descended so low as to admit Mr.
• Green to touch the earth with one of his feet about 100 yards
from the, gasometer, whence he ascended. By throwing out
ballast, however, it again ascended, taking a north-westerly di. •
rection, that is, carrying Mr. Green, out to sea. The balloon
for the spare of 26 minutes was visible to the naked eye, and,.
for.a shoft time afterwards, was perceptible by the aid of a te-
lescope. Late in the afternoon, the mate of the Unity packet,
Oilskin Clear, arrived here express from Seaford, with the in-
telligence that Mr. Green, with his balloon, had been -picked up
at sea, about four miles from that place, by the above vessel.
Mr. Green hoped to sup in Brighton ast night, and was mo-
mentarily expected when our paper went to, piess at eight
o'clock.

The following anecdote, communicated in a
letter from Constantinople, gives an admirable
idea of the sort of security which is enjoyed an,
der Turkish rule Fifteen days after,' as the
Paella was coming out of Mosque, he met this
trusty Tartar, and in a great rage demanded his
reasons for having so long delayed quitting Bag-
dad. Knowing his head depended on his speed,
the Tartar handed him the dispatches from
the SULTAN, having performed the journey in
that time. 7 After reading the dispatches, the PA-
CHA demanded of the Courier the number of
horses that had. been killed in performing the
journey. The number was great; and the PACIIA
coolly told him he had, killed snore horses than
his head was worth, which was accordingly in-
stantly struck off."

Every thing concurs to induce the belief that
'his IVlajesty will visit neither Vienna nor 'Park,
as has been rumoured.—( Journal de Pa :
The King of England left Lisle on the morn-
ing of the 27th, at half past nine o'clock Ofter

MRS. SARAH BOND.—The death of this eccen-
ric woman has created a great sensation in the
leighbourhood where she lived, among such of

her own sex as now and then could get a bird's
eye glimpsenf her while living ; one laments
that she was not so fortunate as to have proffered
her services—another that she had not offered to
make, her bed, and assist her in her domesticar-
rano-ements, &c. so as to have a chance of coming
in for some part of her immense wealth. Fiom
what we have been able to collect, we are of
opinion that none of these kind services would
have tem requited in the way these people anti—
cipate, for she always professed a most determin-
ed dislike to both sexes. The men she' called
" Beasts," and the women much worse." I.t is
rather singular, that this woman, who died last
Sunday se'nnight, should still-remain unburied ;
The body has been placed in a leaden coffin, and
the report is, that no interment can take place
until the approbation of the LORD Cit.tigEm:ott
is obtained. In the year 1812,. it is said, ,she
had 30,0001. in the funds, and in the same year
she had 15,000/..left her ; at that time she had
sunk 12,000/. for a proportionate life annuity.
Living in so aMtemious a manner, no doubt the
interest and compound interest, of all_ her money
has ever since been accumulating. Every endea-
vour has been used to trace her connexions, but
all at present have been . unavailing. From a
private communication from a Mr. • THEOPHILUS
BOND, who stated' his probabte success in -claim-
ing a relationship, we find he cannot substantiate

his legal right, and consequently has relinquished
all further inquiry.: King GEORGE theYourtTir,
therefore, stands a very good chance. of coming
in for the whole of the -properttyl—Plorning
