STOCKHOLM, JULY 15.

Colonel Aurinoff, of the Hussar Regiment of the
Guards, has now challenged Baron Von Ankersward
to fight a duel, after having lost in all the Courts the
law-suit which he had brought against him. The
Baron has just published a very interesting pamphlet
on the subject, in which he justly says, " If the corps
of Officers should be allowed to assume a right of ap-
plying the laws of honour in such al manner as to con-
stitute a Court above the other laws of the State, and
to begin to operate when the administration of justice
ended, the consequence might be a military t) canny
such as the Swedes never yet bore, and which we there-
fore cannot imagine that any one should think he
could impose on an individual Swedish citizen."

The French Papers of Saturday, and the Etoile of
Sunday, have reached us. They still dwell on the
camps to be formed on the frontiers of Spain, vialcut,
however, throwing any new light on the subject. Some
of our c‘)ntemporaries feel quite alarmed at it; ILA
when we recellect what a hubbub was raised last year
about the French fleets, which only sailed for exercise,
we need not be surprised at equal alarm being felt, by
sensitive politicians, at an army as a navy performing
manoeuvres. The fleet, we were told, was to proceed
Ito South America, and reconquer it for Spain; and the
army, we presume, is to conquer Spain itself, if it may
not be considered as already subjugated.

There is in the Journal des Dads a letter from
Cadiz, by mh:ch it appears that two French frigates,
a corvette, a brig, and a g4lliot, unexpectedly left
that port on the 4th instant, and sailed up the Straits•
these ships formed nearly the whole of th 3 F reach

'squadron on the Cadiz station, only three steal '
vessels being left behind. The coast of Spain, from
Cadiz to 134rcelani is said to be covered with Colom-
bian privateers.
Intelligence from Madrid to the 15th instant, states, that the
Kura set out on the preceding day for his residence at La Granga.
The whale Royal Family accompanied him, as well as the two
rival Ministers, Messrs. ZEA and CALOMARDE, who continued to
do everything in their power to effect each other's overthrow.

If a letter from Zante, in another column, can be re-
lied on, the ataits of Greece are not so disastrous as they have been
tepresented.—The Turkish fleet defeated, and famous' PACISA
placed in jeopardy, would be important events to the Greeks. It
iF
a►so reported that the Ottoman forces have been compelled to raise
the siege of Missolonghi, and abandon their artillery and warlike
stores of every description. This news we should rejoice to
bear confirmed. _

In a preceding column we have given BoLlvau's
address to the Congress of Peru. It is an interesting
document, and gives that great man additional claims
to the gratitude of the New World. After noticing the
victory of Ayacucho, which has broken the chains rig,
vetted by PIZARRO, the Liberator alludes to the present
situation of Peru. and expresses a confident hope that
France and the other European Powers will not he long
behind England in recognising the independence of the
new Republics. BOLIVAR then resigns the Dictatorship,
which, he observes, relieves Peru from despotism, and
after cautioaing the Congress to prose• it” for ever so
dteaglful an authority, states, that his duties as an
auailiiry soldier call him to contribute to the liberty of
Upper Nit), :end to the capture of Ca the List bul-
wark of the Spauisi: empire in Smith A mei ica."

Letters from Lima to the 18th Nlarch state, but as a rumour only,
that a proposition for a surrender had been made t.. hot tvAtt by
General 'tom., the Governor of Callao—an event which the hor-
lessuess of a protracted resistance on his part renders extremely pi o-
hable. The capitulation drawn up by It ~ was said to coihist of
sixteen articles ; and it was understood that Captain NI ALIN° com-
mander of his Blajesty's ship Cassaanscx, then off Callao, was to be
the guarantee for Homes carrying all the stipulations contained in
it into effect. This account, it is scarcely necessary to obstrve,Com-
pletely falsifies a statement brought lately by way of Puerto Ca-
bello, (and of which we expressed great doubts at the time), that
Callao had been carried by assault, and that all the garrison had
been put to the sword by BOLIVA R.

CHELTEAHAM, JULY 22.

This day the Duke of Gloucester and suite arrrived on
our Course about two o'clock, on horseback. The moment his
Royal Highness's approach was announced, which was done by
loud and continued plaudits from the• assembled thousands, the
band belonging to Mr. Wombwell's Exhibition of Wild Beasts,
placed close to the Grand Stand, struck up the national anthem of
God save the King, which was immediately acknowledged by his
Royal Highness, who bowed most respectfully to those who were
nearest his person. The number of persons at this time assembled
on the Course could not have amounted to less than 40,000 or
50,000, amongst whom there was, as is usual on such occasions, an
innumerable host of thieves, in gangs of from 10 to 200.
A number of carriages were pillaged of every article of value they
contained, which the thieves dexterously managed to carry off at
the time the inmates were anxiously looking for the arrival of the
Racers, as they approached the winning-post. We have heard of
no fewer than thirty-two vehicles, from which valuable property
had been purloined during the last heat fur the Town Plate of fifty
sovereigns ; and what renders the circumstance rather singularly
remar Ale, is, that not one of those pillaging metropolitan rascals
WA, detected.

Royal Family are expected to be present.

force from Sweden, and by two forty-six.gun frigates. Tim first
object of this squadron is, to cut off the cumniunicarion between
Cuba and St.' Juan ti. [Moo, and by so doing, to compel it to sur-
render for want of provisions. Its ulterior object is, however, we
understand, of still greater impus /bidet Press.

l'ite East In.lia Company's chartered ship Boyne ar-
rived uff Falmouth the 21st instant. She left Madras the 16th of
February, the Cape the 9th of May, and St. Helena the 28th of
May, with the General I Lewitt, already arrived.
KEAN played a round of his characters last week, at

ESCAPE ram Daowtrwo.—On Sunday se'nnight, a
young Lady, named DARCY, in endeavouring to step from a sail-
boat to one of the small craft which ply in Kingstown harbour, near
Dublin, fell into the sea near the Western Pier. A boat in the
offing, on board of which were J. Hastrurox and J. Beam-, Esqrs.
of the city of Dublin, proceeded immediately to her relief;
but, stn arriving where the accident occurred, they found that she
had sunk to the bottom. With an intrepidity that reflects credit
on them, they instantly plunged into the surf; after remaining a con-
siderable time under water, the former appeared with the body, and,
with the assistance of his own crew, bad her placed on board the sail-
boat. The vital spark had, to all appearance, fled, and she would have
been inevitably consigned to an untimely grave, if not for the skill
of Mr. Hammon, whose knowledge tel surgery (although not his
profession) has rendered hint particularly useful to the poor of Mil-
len>, and its neighbourhood. This Gentleman had immediate le-
course to the mode of treatment recommended in such casts, and,
after a considerable degree of exertion; his efforts were crowned with
success, and he had the satisfaction of restoring to life and to her
family this interesting young Lady.

Mrs. Hussar. Midas followed, and went off with the same spirit
which attended its production on Saturday night.
