The following letter has been received from the

agent to the North and South American Coffee
House, dated

' BUENOS AYRES, MAT 27.
Since my last, the civil war in the provinces of
the interior, has taken a decided turn in favour of
the liberal party.
General Quiroga, who left Buenos Ayres some
time since with a handful of men, (about 300,) has
penetrated to the foot of the Andes, having beat the
Unitarian troops of Gen. Paz, killed some of his
best officers, and taken others prisoners. The head-
quarters of Quiroga were at Mendoza, 900 miles
from Buenos Ayres, and his party of federal,' occu
pying the provinces of Mendoza, Catamarca, Rioja,
&c. The Unitarian Governors of the above places
have fled to Cordova.

The main armies of the belligerents in the pro-
vince of Cordova have remained inactive. The
Commander. in-Chief of the federal troops (Lopez)
has not thought it advisable to attack his oppo-
nents until the arrival of his infantry, who, under
the command of the Governor of Buenos Ayres
(Roses), and in number about 2,500 men, marched
from the frontiers to join Lopes a few days
since. A circumstance has, however, oc-
curred which will have considerable influ-
ence in the fate of the war. The Commander-
in-chief of the Unitarian army, the protector of the
nine provinces of the interior, lately under his juris-
diction. General Jose Maria Paz has been taken
prisoner, and sent to Santa Fe. The official. ac-
counts, published in Buenos Ayres, of this
affair, state, that the army of Paz was making
a demonstration. Some federal cavalry ho-
vered about it, and entrapped its chief, whilst
making- a reconnoisance, one of the cavalry
threw balls (a mode of warfare practised by
the Gaucho horsemen), and caught the generarsl
horse. This important capture caused a great
sensation here. The Unitarians rested their chief
hop on the talents and abilities of General Paz,'
some say that it was a designed measure on his part,
finding the cause which he sustained began to be
hopeless. Colonel la Madrid has succeeded him
in the Government of Cordova, but whatever may
be the courage or desperation of his officers, proba-
bilities seem to denote that they must succumb.
The chance that peace may soon take place, and
the trade to the interior be again opened, is highly
gratifying to those who, being of no party, only
wish the happiness and prosperity of the country.

Two British houses in Buenos Ayres have re-
cently stopped payment, and the effect thereof has
been most sensibly felt.

THE EVENING STAR.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10.

The Dutch war on Belgium, end when it may,
has been distinguished by greater atrocities than
have characterized military operations isnaltrecent
conflict. They mre, too, the more to be reprehended,
because if the Dutch King have any object, it is to 1
recover the country by winning the loyalty of the
inhabitants. To cut down embankments, and let
in the sea, so as to waste and destroy the coun-
try ; to burn down villages and farm-houses,
and to butcher and torture the inhabitants, revives
our recollections of Dutch character in the never-
to-be-forgotten affairs of Amboyna. Such conduct
must deprive the House of Orange of its present
slender hold on the affections of the European
people, and bring on legitimacy itself an indelible
stain. A Dutch mob might tear the Do Pitts in
pieces ; but such deeds ought not to be perpetrated
by Dutch officers, conducted by princes of the
House of Orange. We had, however, a few
months since, a sample of Dutch warfare in the
bombardment of Antwerp—a transaction, the horrors
of which are but half known in England, and only
parralleled in modern history by the Duke of Alves
bombardment of Brussels, which act cost the Spa-
nish Monarchy its dominion over the whole Nether-
lands. The power and ascendancy of Kings in
these times, depend on their justice, and not on
their force and brutality. Such conduct towards
the Belgians proves, that they were not wrong in
considering the King of HOLLAND sea foreigner
obtruded upon them by the fatality of circum-
stances, and the cool insolence of Diplomacy.
The Dutch head-quarters, at Turnhout, are
about twenty-five miles east of Antwerp, and
about forty-five from Brussels. In their advance
to Gheel and Diest, they approach within twenty-
five miles of Brussels; and their march, if not in-
tercepted, is directed on that city, by Louvain.—
Their left division is at Putten and Capone,
within eight or ten miles of Antwerp, while their
navy, &c. is close to the city.

The debate of lut night in the House or 1.0 Ras
throws no new light on Belgic and Dutch affairs.
It was a further effort of the puppets of the Pitt
system to give plausibli colour to their prejudice.;
and to sustain their vain glory in the wanton and
wicked wars carried on from 1793 to 1815. The
conclusion resulting from chances and treasons,'
proved nothing with regard to the wisdom of those
who promoted those wars; yet as they restored the
precious Bourbons, they considered themselves
crowned with glory. A result, however, produced
by such means and such agents, at variance with
the common sense of mankind, was soon likely to
exhibit its inherent folly or wickedness ; and it is
rather matter of surprise, that it lasted 15 years,
than that it did not explode lass many months...-.
The baseless fabric of their political reputation is,
however, now unmasked, and hence their fretful
course in both Houses of Parliament.
They united •Belgium to Holland—they built
card-houses to protect their ill-assorted kingdom
—they gave Poland to Russia and its ports to
Prussia—and they restored the petty German and
Italian despots—these were their glories, and with
these they have been so self-elated that the world

can scarcely hold than ; sad now, elm! the sur-
vivors are fated to behold their mighty !Akio cum

bling to pieces amidst the scorn, contempt, and ri-
dicule of all mankind.

This •is • enough to produce dolorous laments
from Lord LONDONDERRY, brother of the once
renowned CASTLEREAGH, and himself a states-
man in those times—from the Duke of WELLING-
TON, whose well supplied military chest assisted
in so many victories—and from lArd ABERDEEN,
the urbane representative of England and the Stock
Exchange in so many negoeiations. They neglect
to consider, as the CHANCELLOR told them,
that changes render new policy necessary, and
that the chimerical proj.cti of 1814 are untenable
in 1831. It certainly is calculated at this time to
answer no good purpose, to hold up the King of
Holland as an ill-treated personage, and thereby
encourage that irritation which at this moment
is threatening so much mischief; while its display
can do him, if really injured by any fault not his
own, no good whatever. Therefore, after several
long speeches, in which Lord CAERNARVON and
Lord HOLLAND took part, Lord LONDONDERRY
withdrew his formal motion for papers.
In the HOUSE or ComMONS, the indefatigable
and punctual Mr. /I t.mr appeared in the fore-
ground, as usual, with• his budget of petitions.
He presented two against the Corn Laws,—one
from the working classes of Manchester, and
another from those in Westminster. The first was
ordered to be printed; but the second, which
stated that " many of the people bad fallen vic-
tims to the despotic Corn Laws," was, at the in-
stance of Lord ALTHORP, Mr. HU ME, and Mr.
O'Cox wELL, withdrawn, though Mr. HUNT with
spirit defended the language as suited to the sub-
ject.

Mr. O'CONNELL called attention to the legal
impunity at Kilkenny, which 200 Orangemen
had recently obtained for their atrocities at Ma-
ghan, while some Catholics, who merely resisted,
had been convicted and punished !
Mr. CRA mrroN doubted the veracity of Mr.
O'CoNt4b:Les informant ; but the latter stated
that he was a nobleman of high rank, and that
the Crown Solicitor excluded all Catholics from
the jury.

On the last point Mr. CRAMPTON expressed his
doubts ; but Mr. LEADER confirmed Mr. O'Cox-
ft ELL's statement, and added, that every liberal
Protestant bad also been excluded by the Crown
Solicitor.

Captain GORDON likened these statements to
that about the touts of the Grand Jury at Carlow.
In reply, Mr. O'CONNELL stated,
that he was
ready to prove by credible and good authority,'
at the bar of the House, that four toasts were given:
First, " Captain Graham' and the brave Yeomanry
of Newtownbarry ;" secondly, " Our heels on the
necks of the Papists in cold blood ;" thirdly, " The
Pope in the yillory of hell, and the devil. pelting bim
with priests;" fourthly, " King William the Third
who delivered us from the fangs of the Papists,"
&c. &c. Further, three or four Magistrates of the
county of Carlow were in the room at the time.—
As to the Hon. Member who thought proper to rise
up and contradict these facts, what would the
House think of the authority of one capable of
swearing—actually swearing—that Roman Catho-
lics believed that Roman Catholic Priests could
tarn persons into hares and goats ?
This Captain GORDON denied.
Mr. BLACYNEY, M.P. for Carlow, said, there
was nu doubt the toasts had been drunk while
several Grand Jurymen and Magistrates were
present.

Mr. KENNEDY complained of Capt. GORDON'S
conduct in Scotland.

Mr. STAN LZY admitted that he had information
that the toasts were given at a late hour.
Mr. SHIEL thought the magistrates ought to
be immediately dismissed ; and he then stated that
he had fetched, from the Library of the House,
the evidence of Capt. Gordon, in which be had
sworn, as stated by Mr. O'Cox w Lug and H
&RAD IT. Lord TULLAMORE admitted that the
toasts were drunk. What a scandalous affair—
and Carlow within a few miles of Newkirk nbarry !
The opposition were then querulous about foreign
affairs, but they obtained no information. Sir R.
VT V TAN, at the request of Lord PA LMRRSTODI,
postponed his motion.
In the Reform Committee, the schedule EL con-
taining only Portsmouth, Rochester, Hull, and
Sandwich, was passed, and these places re-
spectively, with Yonne, Chatham, Stroud, Seel.
costes, Deal, and %Valmer, are to return 2 members
each. During the discussion of au amendment
about Rochester, Mr. Gou Lavas said that the
principle applied to the Tyne, in regard to Gates-
head, was not extended to the Medway, an insinu-
ation which being understood to apply to Lord
DURHAM'S interest at Gateshead, was loudly
haired by the Opposition ; on which Mr.
THOMAS DUNCOMBE exclaimed, that if this
were intended to insinuate that there , was
an unfair extension of Members to Durham,
(Loud cheers from the opposition benches) and
if it were meant to be insinuated that Lord
DURHAM bad exercised his influence to effect
that advantage. be would resent it as a base and
wicked calumny. (Great agitation, and cries of
Chair.)
The CHAIRMAN hoped the words were used only
in the beat of debate—but Mr. D. said be soberly
and discreetly repeated them. Several Members'
then spoke—but Mr. D. refused to retract, and
said he would submit to any penalty, unless Mr.
G. would say that he did not mean the insinuation.

This was treated as a defiance ; and Mr. G.
remaining silent, great confusion arose, and many
Members spoke in rapid succession. At length,
the SPEAKER advised that it should be passed
over ; and, on a division, there were 252 to 152.

Christ-Church was then agreed to be united to
Southwark.

The House then went into Committees on the
Princess Victoria's annuity, and on the Militia
Pay Bill.
Mr. HustE gave notice that he shottid move for
members for the -colonies. At one o'clock, Mr.
RICE brought in a Bill to repeal the duty on
candles—last but not least.

Thi3 day the kiNc; carne from Windsor, to St.
James's Palace, whore his Majesty held a Privy
Council, which was attended by all the Cabinet
Ministers. In the evening his Majesty returns to
Windsor.

So anxious are the Government for early infor-
mation from Holland, that a steamer has been des-
patched to Rotterdam ,to wait expressly for tho
speedy conveyance of intelligence.

THEIR MAJESTIES AND COURT NEWS.

WIN DSOR, Tuesday.—The King took an airing'
yesterday in his phaeton, accompanied by Lord Clinton.
His Majesty confined his drive to the avenues of the Hume
Park and the vicinity of Frogmore. The Queen, att..nded
by her suite, rode for several hours yesterday in the Great
Park, during which she visited the Belvedere, and other fa.
vourite retreats, in the neighbourhood of Virginia Water.
The phaetons and saddle horses were in readiness
at the usual hour this afternoon, when their Majesties and
their distinguished visitors proceeded to take a drive in the
Great Park. Messengers continue to arrive daily at the
castle with government despatches, to which bis Majesty de-
votes the whole of the forenoon, and the messengers ars ge-
nerally forwarded agnin to town in a few hours.
It i 3 uncertain whether her Majebty will keep
her birthday at Bushy, or whether she sill open her new
lodge in the Home Park with the fete she intends giving on
this occasion. Ssturtiay, the 13th inat. her Majesty will
compltte her 39th year, and it is most probable the day will
be celebrated at Adelaide Lodge. Their Majesties continue
to enjoy excellent health.

Earl Grey came to town yesterday morning
from his residence at East Sheen. Mons. Ikrinwlez, th
Spanish Minister, had a long conference with tiie Notil •
Earl, at the Treasury, after his arrival. His Excellency
afterwards transacted Mistily'ss at the office of the Secretsry
of State for Foreign Affairs.
Mons. Van de Weyer, the Minister from
glum, visited Viacount Palmerston, yesterday, at the FereiAix
Office.

Sir James Graham had interviews, yesterday,
with Earl Grey and Viscount Althorp at the Treasury.
Leopold the First, Kinr, of Belgium, exeeediugly
distinguished himself by his bravery In the battle of AVa.
terloo. The Dale of Wellington spoke highly of his in.
tepidity and .alottr, both in his d.wpatehes and in conversa-
tion after the battle.

Don Pedro and Donna Maria, attended by the
Marquis de Rezende and M. Gomes a Silva, on Monday
evening visited Vauxhall Gardens, where they remained until
the fire-works were over, and then returned to the Clarendon
Hotel.

We are happy to have it in our power to con-

from Gibraltar are of the 21st ult. The town and g.uriaun
were quite healthy, with not one instance of the plague.

Extract of a letter, dated Berlin, Aug. 3 :—" I t
is rewound that the Emperor of Austria will come to Prague,
while the King of Prussia is at Toplitz, and that the two mo-
narchs will meet there. Prince Metternich is also said to
have repaired to his family estates in Bohemia. The Pro,.

tect the north of Eurom: from that dreadful disease the cho-
lera morbus. Several regiments have left the capital, in to.
der to be placed on the Oder, anti all avenues to the capital

take to ward off this horrid malady. The paragraphs about
Prussia lately Inserted in the Stessager des Chambres are
looked upon here with contempt, as it is seen that they are
written by people who are little or not at all acquainted
with the opinion entertained by the people of the

tradicted by any impartial observer.
" The Albion, which boasted of having had a re-
porter at the dinner to Mr. Cartwright and Sir C. Knighdey.
states, among other marvellous things, that the procession
consisted of upwards of 2.50 private carriages, and. 160 u
horsemen. We now subjoin the precise number that passed
through the toll-bar at Cotton End, and were counted again
before it reached the Market Square: 1 coach with 6 Isom's:

holders' for we noticed apprentices, butchers boys,
servants, several of whom were in livery, and even the ma
body guard, as they were called, four of whom are not free-
holders. The good sense of the people will see through such
political quackery. Of the valour of Mr. Rose, the magia.

AEHOSTATION.—Mr. George Green, the cele-
brated aeronaut, has just made his 91st ascent,
from Perth, in Scotland. Our readers will be sur-
prised on comparing this piece of intelligence with
the fact that Mr. Green ascended from London
Bridge on the Ist instant ; but the fact is, there
are two Mr. Greens seionants, who have no con-
nection with each oth•-r.—Mr. George Green' who
was lately accompanied by Dr. Forster, in his 88th
ascent, from Moulaham, being now making his tour
of Scotland. The Mr. Green who ascended from
London Bridge, is a younger brother of the former.
Among other curious anecdotes of British aeroeta-
tion which has come to our knowledge, we learn
that a very large aerostatic machine is in progress
of construction in the north of England, which will
be capable of carrying up several persons.
UNCII A lIITABLI CHARITY .SERMON.—We
are credibly informed that at a charity sermon for
the distressed Irish, lately preached at a church in
Eases, the "liberal" expounder of " charity"
actually told his audience that the present famine
and distress in Ireland was an indiction from die.
ALMIGHTY on the Lich, for so obstinately ad.
hering to the errors a the Catholic religion;
spirited Irishman who was present was beard is
say, as Le cams out of church., " that he felt
Swain that if pions countrymen heard the dtsph-
cable sentiment with which charity was bestow( d
limn England, they would reject the boon with
becoming disdand refuse even the bread of
life, if it came cWled with a gross insult to the
country, their relfgion, and heir GOD." We in-
sert this anecdote as a warning to all young
preachers of charity sermons, as we are sere the
benevolent ends of humanity are often ds(istdd
when unaccompanied with those liberal feeklefe„
