The Tunes has indulged in itsnsual strain of false-
hood upon the temporary appointment of Mr. W. H
VINONr, as King's Remembrance?. An arrangement
made with the most scrupulous regard to the good of
,the public service, is represented as a private job,
without a shadow of ground for the aecusatione.—The
very person, Mr. ANIL Moystv, in whose behalf
The Times would appear to be an advocate, baring
ceased to be deputy before the death Of die principals
Mr. STEELE, the Treasury, very wisely and consistently
with the Tecommendation of theCosnasittee of the 11041.1
of Commons determine (upon the death of that
pal) to have no deputy in future.
But having come to this conclusion, they desire to
consult the Barons of the Coutt of Esc-begone upon
The arrangement which shall be permanently best fitted
to the due discharge of all the duties of the office, and
in, the meantime appoint Mr. W. H. VINCgNT tempo-
rarily to perform the duties without salary, and to
carry the fees to the public account. -
This plain statement renders all further observation
upon the falsehood and malignity of the accusations con-
tained in the Times unnecessary, and should teach its
readers hovr to value its unworthy imputations.

• STOCKHOLM, JANUARY 27.
:Last week a Norwegian officer set out for Christiana,
with The Royal propositions to be laid before the Diet,
at its opening on the 2d February.
• Yesterday being the King's birth day, the Crown
Prince gave a grand entertainment to the Royal Family,
suid the Chief Officers of State.
. Our winter has hitherto been a mixture of spring and
ultimo. We have no cold, no snow, and fresh vege.
table's are cried about the streets. It appears, from
the accounts kept in the country, that numerous wolves
issued froM the forests at the close of the autumn, and

z ecti

,ed to-dityrby a Ditch Mail, accounts

with- extraordinary fury and boldness extended their
depredations to within less than two leagues of Stock-
holm ; so that if the winter had been severe, we should
have been exposed to great danger from their ravages.

It will,be recollected that during the alarm excited
at Soma by the landing of a Greek division in the
immediate vicinity of that place, the Paces had ap-
plied to the European Consuls for advice and assistance.
now.learn, from the French Papers, that the result
of that appeal was a remonstrance to the Senate of
Ipsara,-drawn up and signed by those Gentlemen, who.
did not remonstrate with the Poste when it sent a fleet
with orders to extirpate the whole population of Scio.
This

called upon the Senate to direct its

troops to desist from attacking Smyrna, as if in time of
war neutrals possessed the right of dictating to either of
the belligerents of what places they should or should
not try to render themselves masters. The Ipsariot
Primates refused to submit to such dictation, and de-
clared with proper spirit, that " consistently with the
sights of war they would pursue the Turks on all
the coasts which they occupied. If after that," they
added, " the Ottornens in their rage against us
should persecute the Christian Rajahs (subjects of the
Porte) -and the Europeans, that will be the effect of
their barbarian cruelty, which tramples on the rights
of humanity and the laws of civilized Europe.—
Aad as Europe can, if she pleases, protect by force the
life and honour of all Christians, we are convinced that
the will do it without requiring any sacrifices from us,
who are delayed antics to the Tusks." They con-
cluded by denim:dims that thorn* should -pay an
Minot tillage, if it wished stasis tranquillity and that
otits gulf should not be disturbed.
The success of the Greek expedition- whist Scio is

fully confirmed. Four thousand men landed tin that
island, touted the Turks in the fieli, and compelled them
to shut themselves up in the citadel, where they; were
blockaded by sea and land ; for a' squadron of twelve
'ipsariot vessels, accompani4byAree fire-ships, was
cruising in the channel of Scio to intercept any assist-
ance which might be sent to the besieged from the
Asiatic coast. Heavy artillery of sufficient strength..to
batter the fortress had been -dispatched from Napoli di
Romania, and had reached its destination, so that it
was hardly possible for the Turkish garrison to defend
itself for any length of tithe, and it was likely that the
whole island would soon be restored to its legidmate
possessors, or rather to the few who had escaped at the
hour-of massacre and devastation.

A vessel has arrived from Rio Janeiro, which place
she left on the 6th of December. A letter dated the
sth says—" Our apprehensioni"of serious consequences
resulting froth the late violent proceedings of- the Est-
rettOn have subsided; for everything remains in a per-
feet state of tranquillity, and business is resuming its
former activity."
Another merchant ship, the Lycergus, which has
touched at .Cowes on her way to Hamburgh, reports—.
" that a FeW days before he sailed from Bahia, the Pet.
nambuco noops had left,Baltia, on their return to Per-
nambuco, in the English vessels George, Marquis Wel-
lington, and Carabli.in (after having quelled the dis-
turbances and taken Bahia). Great jeakusy prevailed
between the Pernambuco and Bahia troops; a Cola
nel of the former was stabbed the day belore the Per-
nambucans left ; and it was much feared another commo-
tion would have taken place previous to their leaving."
We have received Lima Gazettes to October 1. The

" The Minister of War Win see to the execution of this Decree.

It would'seem by the above Dec- ee, that overtures of!
conciliation had been made to the Ex-President, ittsra
Acutuo, to which he had declined to accede, and that
force was only resorted to when persuasion failed.— 1
Another Decree,, in the same page, would seem to ipdi-,
cate that the Peruvian army at Lima was not in a *ivy
fit condition to nuke ,head at once against a domestic
revolt and the unsubdued remains of a Seanish force.
This Decree is directed against deserters, and is intro-
duced bythe following preamble: . •
ell The criminal conduct of many individuals, who, dcsertin; the
ranks their country, at a time when she has the greatest need if
their . remain quietly at home in their houses, while their
brethren br ly,face danger in the field of honour, obliges the Co-
.lllMMetit to take serious means to compel their return to active
astrvice. Tito voice of ionic*, likewise, appeals to those who bar.
boor deserters."
Yu remedy those evils, it is decreed that deserters
litho return to duty within a specified period shall be
pardoned, but that those who do not shall be shot : four
years insprisorunent is awarded against those who hat-
hour deserters.- The same Paper contains a dispatch
from General Sasira Cnuz, dated Sopita, in Arequipa,
August 26, claicang a biillisint victory over the Spa-
nish General Vatnez, on the preceding day. Dy this
.success a great track of country is said to be freed from
the iron sceptre of their Spanish tyrants, and the loss of
the rich provinces which composed it is described as a
-mortal Wow to thefertinstslar army, which they sup-
plied with provisions and enriched with treasure.
The following is an abridgment of the dispatch in
which SANTA:CRUZ details his success. Learning that
VALDez was approaching with 1800 men, he ordered
Colonel Ccanzaa, who was at Pomata, to fall back
*pots the Desaguadero, and be himself proceeded thither
from his bead-quarters at Viacha, followed by the batta
lions of Masseurs, and of the Conquerors of Pinchinch a,
and a squadron of Hussars. On the 23.1, SANTA. CRUZ
arrived at the bridge on the Desaguadero, where he
remained on the defensive till, on the 24th and 25th,
being joined by the corps which he expected, and a co-
lumn of 1,300 men, of different arms, be marched to
meet the enemy', whom he expected to find at the town
of Sapita,which he occupied, leaving the In idge defended
by two pieces of cannon, and tao companies of each
battalion. The vanguard of SA mra Cauz canie up. a ith
the enemy after two hours' march, but owing to some
delay in the advance of the rest of the troops,he had time
to retreat. In the neighbourhood of the town, the enemy
waited the Peruvian force, and SANTA Cans determined
to attack him, though a third inferior in numbers. The
Peruvian line' was extended on a plain, having to
battalion of the Legion on the right, the 4th oa thecae-
tre, and the Chasseurs on the left. ,The battalion - ; •
" The Victors" formed the reserve, the third sqoadeusk
covered the right, and the second the left; and dig ! -
pieces, occupying the centreskept up a well.cooshicondilm
The enemy withdrew his cavalry, in number dek ID
rear, and placing his artillemon an eminence, rapt
ours. His infantry, 1,600 strong, extended on ths de&
vibes, where alone they thought they could fit. Wye
attacked by the Republicans in these polities, the ilgo.
niards thought they had the advastars and tootinuila

f

into the plain, where they were totally routed. There.
salt of the victory was 100 Spaniards killed, and 184 '
taken prisoners, besides 540 muskets, P. horses, etc: The
Peruvians had only 2d killed and 84 wounded.

Wect. FAWCETT, in the honest brazier, displayed all
that command over the feelings of the audience for
which he was celebrated many years ago. CONNOR,
in Dennis Brulgruddery, excited repeated peals of
ghter, and fully justified the honour bestowed upon
iim by the veteran JOHNSTONE in, proclaiming him his
*legitimate successor." Towards the end of the first act
• air Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of GLOW-
casTza were descried in a private box. They were
greeted with loud applause, which they acknowledged
with graceful bows. GOD &Tye the king was called for,
and the air played by the orchestra. The •call was re-
peated when the curtain rose for the secdnd act, and as
it was not apparently attended to much hissing and cries
of Of, elf, prevented the performance from going on,
Mr. JONES then came forward and said, that none of
the singers being at the Theatre, it was impossible im-
mediately to comply with the wish of, the audience, but
1 that they bad been sent for, and GOD save the King
should be sung as soon as they had arrived. Peace was
Instantly restored, and at the close of the Comedy the
';curtain rose once more on the whole of the company as-
ieembled, when the National Anthem was given with
great effect. Their Royal Highnesses then bowed again
amidst loud cheers, and remained till the end of the Pan-
tomime, the sports of which they seemed fully to enjoy.

In many German Journals wl find the following ar-
ticle, dated Brunswick, January 19:—" Toe re-esta-
blishment of. the University of Heinistadt, which has
lately been announced, may probably soon lead to the
reclamation of estates which, during the existence of the
kingdom of Westphalia, came into possession of 'Hano-
ver and the Electorate of Hesse. The lands with which-
the University (abolished by the Westphalian Govern-
ment) was endowed, were divided between the Universi-
ties of Gottingen 'anti llarbuig. While England acf-
ministered the Government of Bi Unsvi ick, in the name
of the young Doke, it could ndt bring a claim against
,ilanover. but now that Brunswick is under the Go-
merriment of its own Duke, it seems that the claims on
those lands must be brought forward. Hanover and
Hesse have so often declared the acts of the Westpha-
lian Government illegal, that in all probability they will
make no opposition to the legal claims of Brunswick."'
