of the arrival of Ms Majesty's ship AOROItA, Captair.
PRZSCOT, at Valparaiso, from Callao, which she left on
e 4th of July. By her letters have been received
from Lima to the 4th of July. They state that Mr.
ROWCROPT had arrived in that city, and was fulfill-
ing the functions of Consul-General in behalf of the
English merchants. He called a meeting of the British
commercial residents on the 30th of June, to whom he
exhibited his commission, and read extracts from. the in-
structions given him by Mr. Secretary CANNING.
These, it appears, did not permit him to carry on trade,
nor to charge any commission, but authorized him to
certify any instrument as a notary, and to claim a re-
muneration for that service. He was particularly
charged not to encourage any illicit traffic, either
against the laws of England or those of the country in
which his official residence was fixed. No mention is
made of Mr. ROWCROIIB having presented his creden-
tials to the Spanish authorities in Lima. The blockade
cf Callao by theferuvian squadron had, it seems, placed
the English merchants in some difficulty, as General
RODIL, the Spanish officer in that fortress, on the ap-
proach of Admiral Guts; refused to allow any com-
munication between the shore and such English mer-
chant vessels as were lying at anchor in a distant part of
the bay, with the view to prevent any information being
conveyed to the patriot blockading vessels. Through
the exertions, however, of Captain NIALING, of his
Majesty's ship CAMBRIDGE, who was applied to by the
merchants, such arrangements were made as satisfied
General RoDIL, and the communication with the shore
was placed on its former footing. Tile folloHing is an
extract :

"LIMA, JULY 3.

" A reinforcement for General Bolivar was landed at Supe about
the 20th June: the numbers are reported at 3000 or 7.500. The
Spanish Generals, Camerae and Valdez, have distinct commands,
and there is a spirit of jaalousy existing between them ; so that, it
is supposed, they will always act independently, and that neither of
them will act insubordination to the other:. This circumstance is,
of course, favourable to Bolivar.
" The Spanish privat,se Quintanella was captured some time
since, by the Prencn corvette Diligence, and carried into Valpa-
raiso, for irregular and piratical acts. The 'Viceroy is offended at
this, and has embargoed the property of Frenchmen in the In.
termedios, &c.
" It is the opinion of many, that General Bolivar, having now
about 12 or 14,000 men, will not be long before he moves forward
to attack the Spanish troops under General Canterac. It is reported
that Geheral Valdez is near Potosi, and that he has gone in a hos-
tile manner against General Olaneta ; but this wants confirmation.
" A recent band°, by General Rodil, imposing severe penalties of
death, &c. on individnals smuggling treasure on board ships, and en
custom-house officers for conniving at it, has produced a cessation of,
the practice. At present the duty on shipping dollars is 8 per cent.'

French Papers of Wednesday, and private letters of'
Tuesday, have been received. The former contain no I
news of any importance; but it is stated in one of the
private letters, that the bonds of amity between this
country and France are strengthened; and that CLIARLES
X. has invited the Duke of WELLINGTON, and several
of our Minister!, to be present at his coronation. The
French Rentes were at 101 f. 90c. and were expected to
advance to 103 f.

This forenoon we received Brussels Paper; to the
25th instant. They state that the KING of the NETHER-
LANDS has been for some time slightly indisposed, but
is now better ; a Levee, fixed for Wednesday last, had,
however, been put off. One of these papers states, that
there has been a seizure ef some manuscripts belonging
to the Editor of a Literary Journal in that city. The
result of the investigation at Berlin, into •the affair of
M. Cousin, who was arrested at Dresden, is not known.
—The Prussian papers contend that the arrest of the
Professor is not contrary to the law of nations, because
an individual who goes to Germany with criminal in-
tentions, is liable to arrest in all the countries of the con-
federation, which are considered, in this point of view, as
forming only one State. It seems that the accusations
brought against the learned Professor, are not of so
serious a nature as some papers would insinuate, and
that the French Government itself has interfered in
his favour.

The fall of the Funds at Vienna gives rise to reports
of all kinds. Some persons pretend, that in the next
Spring an Austrian Army of Observation will be sta-
tioned in the fortresses bordering on Turkey. It is, how-
ever, added, that this needs confirmation ; that the
Porte, whose embarrasments daily increase, has applied
to several Coorts for the execution of a treaty, finally
guaranteeing the integrity of its territory. It does not
appear how it can obtain the assent of Russia, while
the Ottoman troops continue to occupy Moldavia and
Wallachia, which is directly contrary to the treaty of
Bucharest, concluded in 1812.

The Supreme Military Tiibunal, which is instead of
the High Tribunal of the Diet of Poland, has passed a
sentence by which Major Lukasinsky is condemned to
nine years' imprisonment in a fortress; and Lieut.-Col.
Dobrogoysky, and Lieut. Dobrezisky, for seven years.
The Lieut.-Colonel is also deprived of the right of
wearing the Military Orders of France and Poland. It
is remarkable that the sentence does not mention the
crime of which these Officers have been guilty. The
Emperor of RUSSIA has remitted two yea,: of their
imprisonment.

Boston Papers to the 4th inst. have reached us. One
of them contains an article from Carthagena, stating
vaguely, that a great battle had been fought between
BOLIVAR and CANTERAC, in which the former was
victorious.—lt is reported that the President of the
United States intends to propose to Congress the forma-
tion of a new department in the Government, for
home affairs.

The French squadron, which anchored in the Chesa-
peake during the hurricane season, has sailed for
Martinique.
