Dispatches were this day received at the Colonial
Office, from Sir FREDERIC ADAM, Lord High Commis-
sioner at Corfu, dated the 26th of November : from the
Marquis of HASTINGS. at Malta, dated the 7th of De-
cember : and from the Earl of CHATHAM, at Gibraltar,
dated the 80th of December ; but none of these dis-
patches contain any intelligence of public importance.

Bahia Papers, to the 21st of November, have reached
is. The report of British, Austrian, and Portugueze
Commissioners being on the point of proceeding to
Brazil, to treat on the arrangement for recognizing its
independence, had reached Bahia. The following are
extracts :

Ist of January was fixed for the installation of the Na.
`timid Body. It appears that Don JUAN Muss, who
calls himself Apostolic Vicar to the Republic of Chill,
has been assuming ahthority over the Prelates of Buenos
Ayres, which the Government has resisted. The fol-
lowing are extracts:—

BUENOS AYRES, OCTOBER 23.
The first preparatory meeting of the Representatives
of the Provinces took place on Saturday. The object
of it seems to have been to fix the day for the Installa-
tion of the National Body, which was appointed to be
on the Ist of January, 1825. This will allow sufficient
time for the Representatives who are still wanting to
reach this city.
The savages have made another incursion into the
territory of Buenos Ayres; this will afford matter to
the Madrid Gazette, which seems to have undertaken
to prove our inability to contend with Spain, from the
feeble manner in which it supposes us to repel the incur-
sions of the barbarians. This is, however, of little con-
sequence, the Journalist may say whAt lie pleases, as we
may, in our turn, Lough at the Journalist *but what is
of consequence is, that the barbarians plunder our
country, and have done, so' in the last incursion, when
everything seemed combined to keep them away for a
long time; all the regular Cdvalry' covering the fron-
tier, the whole line prepared to be on the watch, the
Militia in the country disposed as they never were be-
fore, the Chiefs of the distiicts acquainted with the
plan, and the retreat of the barb mans twice cut off.
Public opinion, this time, blames the Commander who
directed the operations. We understand that an en-
quiry before a Court Martial is intended.
Ocr. 30.—A1l the letters received by way of Salta,
agree in the second defeat of the Spanish army under
Canter4c, by General Bolivar. The channel through
which this news has been received is worthy of the
greatest credit; and it is affirmed, that it has been com•
municated in Mojo, by Don Gaspar Olaneta, to an indi-

vidual now residing in Salta, adding, that in this action
Canterac completely lost all his cavalry, and six bat-
talions of Infantry, and that the Viceroy La Serna bad
already abandoned Cuzco, and was falling back to the
Desaguadero, where be thought to fortify himself.
Gencral Olaneta is collecting all his forces to give a.
warm reception (to receive with bullets, as Don Gaspar

himself said,) to La Serna and the other Constitutional
Spaniards. The situation of the latter in Peru is cer-
tainly very arduous. LI the North, General Bolivar,
at the bead of a respectable and victorious army, pur-
sues and annihilates them ; while in the South, the
army of General Olaneta deprives them of all resources,
and prepares to receive them with bullets. This is the
deserted fate of men so corrupt, and possessing so little
capacity to promote their own interest and that of the
Constitutional party, to which they belonged, and

which they engaged to protect.
Nov. 3.—The flail from Chili, which arrived yes
terday, brings nothing decisive respecting the opera-
tion of the liberating army. The private letters, how-
ever, contain some details highly interesting to the
cause of Americs.

By a vessel from' Huacho, lately arrived at Valpal
raiso, it is stated, on the authot ity of some traders from
the Sierra, that Bolivar occupied Jauja on the 9th of
August, and that Canter ac was retreating, making some
movements towards the coast. Another vessel, from
Arica, states, that news had been received, that Can-
terac was defeated on the 12th of August.

vlhe Government of Peru has given orders to equip,
wit 1 all speedy the ship Montogado, of sixty guns. It is
sai that eight hundred men are to be embarked in it,
and that_ when the vessel has joined the naval force of
Peru, and the Chili squadron, which was to sail horn
Valparaiso in November, the Asia and Achilles will soon
cease to appear in the Pacific, with the worm-eaten
Spanish flag.
The Government of Buenos Ayres has sent a mes-
sage to the Representatives of the Province, urging
them to accelerate, as much as possible, the termination
of the Session for this year, in order to have time to
apply, exclusively, to the preparations necessary for the
Meeting of the General Congress.

Jamaica Papers to the .sth ult. have reached us. On
the llth of November, his Grace the Governor sent a
message to the House of Assembly, accompanied by a
copy of the .Order in Council for meliorating the con-
dition of the Slaves in Trinidad,and urging the assembly-
te adopt its provisions. " His Grace," says the message,
" recommends this subject to the serious attention of the
Assembly,feeling,as he does, the great importance of it,
and knowing the serious disappointment which his MA-
Juries Government will experience, if, unfortunately for
their best interests, as well as for the cause of humanity,
the House should reject the substance of the regulations
now proposed to them—regulations which have re-
ceived the unqualified sanction of Parliament, and the
general approbation of the Empire," The Message
having been read, M. STEWART moved that the House
should be cleared ; and the doors remained closed for
an hour and a half.
A Committee was appointed to investigate into the
causes of the late rebellion and conspiracies. On the
16th, Mr. RENNALLS brought in a Bill, for rendering
Negro evidence admissible upon any trial of an indict-
'Ment " against a white or free person, for murder, or
for felonious homicide of any negro or other Slave; or
upon any trial of a misdemeanour, in mutilating or dis-
membering any slave, or wantonly or cruelly whip-
ping, maltreating, beating, bruising, wounding or im-
prisoning, or keeping in confinement without sufficient
support, any slave," &c.
The Bill was discussed On the 24th of November at
some length ; and, on a division, it was ordered to be re.
ceived that day three months,by a majority of 34 to one.

The Bill is consequently lost. • GiMAGI 111118 T, Esq.
was unanimously appointed the Colonial Agent, and
the thanks of the House voted to him.
Dutch Papers to the 131 reached us this morn-
ing, but they contain no political intelligence of interest.

-By the arrival of the ship Crisis, from New York, we
have received papers to the 21st ult. They contain little
intelligence of importance, except an account from St.
Martha, that BOLIVAR was advancing. There had
been a severe gale in the La Plata, by which the brig
Edward, of Baltimore, the Amphion of New York,. and
a Portuguese ship, were lost : the latter is said to have
had SO9. persons on board, all of whom perished ! The
following is the only article worth quoting :
