CHAIN BRIDGE.

The public will be gratified to hear that the
chain bridge over the river Tweed at Dryburgli
Abbey is again erected on a new mktl more ele-
gant plan. It is calculmed to be more than
double the strength of the hist one, the span is
the same, viz. 262 feet, and no doubt is enter-
tained that it will completely answer the purpose.
The motion of the plattotm is comparatively
nothing. Great praise is due to the Earl of
BUCHAN, for his spirited and patriotic persever-
ance in his encouragement of an improvement in
the arts, of such essential importance to the
country. This is the only bridge of the kind on
so ext&nsive a scale in Britain, and it is rather
singular it should he the only bridge over the
Tweed connecting Roxburghshire with Berwick-
shire. The bridge was designed and executed by
the Messrs. SMITH, of Darniek, and exhibits art
excellent specimen of scientific knowledge.—

The foldenian who k a good husband, a tender father, and
fulfils the MI-Les of domestic life with honour, is a character
that ought to be held both as a public exaaiple: for the imita-
tiOn add regard of others. But, alas! this does tint :seem to
be an Age for c';din, tranquil virtue to become an object of
public Admiration, cvett fur public Virtue to be exercised
without maser/ perils

L- H- -„

A mote striking and profitable lesion was never held forth
to niaMti'd, in the turns and chances of domestic life, than
in the fate and of this Nolile;oan.
From a moderate fortune he acquired immense richtls ;
from an inferior statidit he rose to the height of Power. lie
was a faithful friend and an indulgent fattier, a tender hus-
band and a kind mister; nevertheless, thtSe domestic and
private virtues could not preserve hint from the continued
suspicion and reprodches of the people.;

If his love of money did prevail against the serict rules of
justice; if his riches were acquired at the expellee of his
Country; the folly, extravagance, and ingratitude, of his
Children have given his Country a very ample reveng.
It is a melancholy track Which reflection takes, when she
passes through ahnoSt, every part of this man's life; but it
liect;ines eirkness itself at the end of it, when he appeared to

be bereaved of every comfort
The imperfection which seems necessarily to attend every
situation in this world; Nthether of honour, riches, or even
Wisdom, if it could be known is all its circumstances, would
fiever fail to eitiiignish the emotions Of envy.—The happy
Only are to be envied,—and the good atone ca❑ be happy.

E— of (- —.—

Of the different employments of the State which are fitting
io the dignity and character of a Peer, there are none, I
think, which are so satisfactory and snitahle, as well as pre-
paratory to the domestic emp;,,yrtents of this State, as the
Office of an Ambassador. Thee public characters are, it is
true, air expensive appendage to Kings; but it sodietimes
proves the means of providing for a worthy Nohltman of
s.nall estate, and teaching others of them to be useful, or re-
moving a disagreeable, importunate peisou.

The K— of P— has retrenched their inagrilfic'enee and ex-
pences. He has done right !—Were IK— of P—, I would

do the sawe.

to pray ultl,lout whatever may lead to the exercise
of that duty cauttot be lamented. But I most sincerely
Commiserate any good man vvito is so situated as to feel his
cheek glow with an eternal crimson.

t And a degree of independence, which, in the opinion of
a Minister, they ought not to possess.
I I should suppose this opinion to be a very,true site, and
that the perils winch menace public 'Virtue are vety terrifying
indeed; for most certain it i.t, that, even in these times of
crying necessity, she is afraid to chew her, head. ,
-r; The amusements of this great min were frequently the
most alisurd and childish that can be imagined, and yet he
some- how or other contrived to make, them appear graceful.
rl he lininvr in which he fitted up the public-house, called
Captain Digby'A ILaui, near his seat in Kent, is an evident
proof, that he sought alter ple:istire in the most trifling
trifles. However, the time, arrived, when ill health, en-
feebling age, the public censure, the ingratitude of, friends,
and the extravagance of his children, banished every idea of
every pleasure from his mind: arid he was known frequently
to declare, during the last I wo
.years n( his life, that the cloud
of misery wherein he was involved was so thick and dusky,
that remembrance could not penetrate it, to catch one trail-
eicot gleam of former hairpin,

ALI PACIIA.—From the great influence poSsii;ed by this
extraordinary personage with the Ottonian Porte, and his
eitraordinary military talents, his friendly intereourse with
this country has been deeMed an object of political import-
ar?Ce. With thA view; a COnsnl, in the Chdrater of a diplo-
inaiiC Agent, was appointed last year to reside at the Court
of the Pacha in Albania ; but we are sorry to learn, by a com-
munication front Malta, that sonic serious misunderstanding
had taken plate between his flightless and the British Con-
sul, in consetinenee of which, the latter has been 4trnoved.

THE QUEEN, &c.

At eleven o'clock yesterday, the Duke of York arrived from
Oatlands, and, after passing abort half an h&ur in the Cham-
ber of her Majesty, went on to Loridon.
At noon, her Majesty remained free froM any violent pain,
and took a slight refreshment; and, shollily afterwards, the
Princesses walked for an hour in the gardens, accompanied
by Sir Henry Ha!ford, and General Taylor.

About four o'clock, the Duke of Sussex arrived from Ken-
ington Palace. His Royal Highness's carriage drew up at
tire private garden door on Kew Green, which he entered
alone, and walked through the Botanic Gardens to the house.
llis Royal Highness remained with the Queen and Princesses,
iu her Majesty's chamber, upwards of au hour, when he
withdrew through the garden*, again to his carriage, which
waited at, the garden gate.

Almost immediately after, the Pr.ince Regent arrived from
tat Itou-house, and imtantly visited her Majesty. Ills Royal'

Prince remained with her Majesty a considerable time, and
afterwards joined the Physicians lathe drawing-room. Shortly
after, Sir Henry Hallord left Kew for Windsor, to visit the
•Plinccss Sophia; and, about the same time, Col. Stevenson
arrived front London. At seven o'clock the Prince Regent
dined with the Princesses, and intended returning toCaLlton-
/loose at ❑ine o'clock.
lice Majesty, up to half-past seven o'clock, Continued to-
lerably composed, and no immediate return of her paroxysms
was oprehentled.

fatig;th;c his attentions to !►is Royal Mother, as are also

(The Times.]
SOUTH AME FUCA .

Letters wid Gazettes have been received from Buenas-Ayres
to the 25th of June, by tlie. ship I.iiiti:;eys, arrived in the
Dawns.

A letter of the Tifh gives the following intelligence :—lt
should stria that AriigaS is nearly hogs tic combat, at least
against the Portuguese. The latter have When Arroyo de la
China, where they committed the greatest excesses, sparing
neither age nor sex, nor any property, whether Spanish,
British, or of this State.

It is not positively known where Artigas now is, hut some
accounts state that he is ,far to the North, pushed up almost
to the frontiers pfthe Brazils. That he is sinking fast
highly probable, because the towns [tithe► to under his sway,
such as Conrientes, &c. hare expelled the Governors ap-
pointed by hilts, and kire sent deputies here, requesting to
be admitted into the triion. It is even reported that Paraguay
has expre;s'ed d wish to the same effect.
In Tucuman and Upper Peru nothing lia4 occurred yet;
but it is very liftcly that the news of the events in Chili will
cause the Royalists to thinii of a retreat on Litra.

From Chili we have an official account, that 200 men of the
national troops stationed at 'Paha, hare surprised a Royal de-
tachment under Colonel Bullies, consisting of 300 meti, at
Parral, hilltd 200, among whom was bolnes himself, and
taken 70 prisoners.
,The United States sloop of war Ontario
had returned to Valparaiso from Lima, having on hoard
a Commissioner rrion the Viceroy PeZuela, authorized to
treat for an exchange of prisoners. She also constyed
two Lieutenant-Colonels and two Captains of the Buenos-
Ayi•es troops, made prisoners smile years ago in the bat-
tles of Villeaptigio arid Ayoma ; these were freely restored,
in order to show the sincerity of the Viceroy. It is a proof
of the iiirpreisi6n which the victory of Milypo has made at
Lima; for it is not lobg ago that General Sail Martia Made
proposals fur an exchange of prisoners to the Viceroy, who
not ei•en condesCended to return an answer. Now be sends
a Commissioner with dispatches to General San Martin, who
is addressed in the style of " Excellency and General-in-
Chief of the armies of the Andes and of Chili.'

One of the British ships of war, arrived at Valparaiso; had
on her passage put into Talcahuano, where she toned the
spanish frigate Esmeralda, much disabled by her late engage-
went with the Lantaro. It was said she hid lost 50 men in
hilted and wounded. General Osario was at Talcahuano, hut
had only about 1000 Men under him, being all that he could
coiled, partly Of the garrkon left there and of the Militia in
the vicinity. He was shipping his Heavy Artillery, Which
seemed to indicate that he despaired of defending the place.
The Chili Navy is now composed of the Cumberland of G 4,
the Lantaro of 42, and the Avon of 26 guns. General San
Martin is to set out from hence fur Mendoza in a few days,
and will cross the Cordillera on his return to Chili as soon
as practicable.

*, Most' EXCELLENT SIR,--Authorized by his Excellency
the Viceroy and Captain General of Peru, Don Joagnin
de la Pe?mela, fur effecting an exchange of prisoners of
the *Royal army, made by the army under the eomittund
of your. F,xcelleney; I ant arrived in this port under the
guatinitee of the flag attic United States of America, in the
sloop of war nadied Ontario, of that nation, commanded by
James,Biddle, Esq. whit ketteroitsli offered to contribute, by
Means of conveying me iri his vessel, to the relief of the me-
ritoriobs warriors whom the chance of war has put in Your
Excellency's power; for which purpose I ails the bearer of
dispcitches from the most Eicellent Viceroy to your Excel-
lency. I have alsd ten thousand dollars for supplying the
said officers, and request that your Excellency will grant per-
mission for the landing and distribution of that money, if
there should not be
ian objection to it; I further request that
your Excellency will communicate orders either fur My pro-
ceeding to the capital for the purpose of arranging an ex-
change of prisoners with your Eticellency in person, Or to
treat here with the person whom you may think proper to

mull e.

T mast rnenti•n for the information of your EXCeflency,
that. LieUt.-Colonels Don Juan Jose Quesada, and Don Juan
Jose Balderrama, and Captains Dun Pedro Ecitiiiin, and Don
FranCisCo Villanueva, being of the number of prisoners de-
tained at Callao, arc arrived with me, and are already gone
on shoi-C, for the purpose of being exchanged. All the rest
would have come with me, if Captain Biddle had had accom-
modations for them in his vessel; or if it could have beeri ex-
pected to find another to convey them under his convoy, to
which effect be%Vasapplied to, as he himself can inform your
