The fall of Lima gains confirmation by the latest
intelligence from South America. A letter received
by a mercantile house in the City from Rio Janeiro,
dated October 4th, speaks confidently of the event
having taken place.
The fall of Lima is confirmed, by the following
extract from a letter, received at Portsmouth on
Saturday morning, from an Officer at Rio Janeiro,
dated the 26th September:—,, The English schooner 1
Samuel, arrived here on the 26th inst. in fourteen
days from the River Plate, bringing certain accounts
of the fall of Lima to the Independent forces under
General SAN MARTIN and Lord COCHRANE; an
event viewed by the merchants here as of no small
im-
portance, in opening a market for the purchase of
British manufactures. All the ships lately on this
station are round Cape Horn, except the Slaney, Cap-
tain STANHOPE, which ship is in the River Plate.—
The Blossom, 28, Captain VERNON, and Alacrity,
Captain Hon. FREDERICK SPENCER, sailed to-day to
join Sir THOMAS HARDY, at Valparaiso; the former
arrived, with the Beaver, Captain M'LEAN, on the
22d inst. from the St. Helena station. On the 14th
inst. the Aurora frigate, Captain HENRY PRESCOTT
C.B. arrived from England, after a tedious passage of
forty-seven days from Plymouth, and thirty-four from
Madeira; she remains here, being second in command
on the station. The Doris frigate, Capt. I'. GRAHAM,
arrived some time before from England. The force
collected round Cape Horn will be, Superb, 74;
Creole, Owen Glendower, Blossom, and Conway, fri-
gates ; Beaver and Alacrity sloops. The Morgiana,
Captain FINLAYSON, is lying here, from the coast of
Africa. She has sent into Bahia a schooner, with 170
slaves on board. All is quiet at this place, but there
appears a great want of confidence in the present Start
Managers ; and what is worse for us, the Portuguese
{have not any money in circulation and everything is
very dear. The Beaver sails for Bahia to-morrow.
Mr. LAMBERT Purser of the Alacrity, died on the
21st inst. while in the act of preparing to go to the
Opera. Mr. J. S. LATHY, a Purser on half-pay,
serving on board her as Clerk, is appointed to the va-
cancy. Mr. JAMES LIDDELL (Midshipman), of the
Aurora, is appointed to act as Lieutenant of the
Alacrity, vice Hon. F. SPENCER, promoted. The con-
vict ship Providence, willh two hundred female con-
victs on board, bound to Botany Bay, is lying here.
P.S. I open my letter to say, that several expresses
have arrived to mercantile houses here, announcing
the fall of Lima. Thepacket sails to-morrow morning.
The young Prince YPSILANTI, accompanied by his
Governor and two other Greeks, has arrived in Paris,
in Order to prosecute his studies.
Professor GOERRILS and his family have arrived
from Switzerland, and will pass the winter in Paris.
DUEL PREVENTED.—It having come to the know-
ledge of the Magistrates of Portsmouth that a meet-
ing was intended to take place on Southsea Com-
mon, on Friday, between Lieutenant J. and Mr. P.
both belonging to the Navy, several constables were
directed to seek for, and take the parties into custody,
which they succeeded in doing before anything serious
happened. The intended duellists were bound over
with sureties in a heavy sum to keep the peace, and
then discharged.

The APOLLO frigate, in Portsmouth harbour, is
ordered to be taken into dock, to undergo such al-
terations as are necessary to her being fitted up as a
yacht for the KING'S personal use. The Royal George
yacht, being only of a sloop of war's tonnage, has been
found too small for the convenient stowage of a suffi-
cient quantity of water and provisions for a sea voyage.
His MAJESTY, it is supposed, therefore, will only use
this yacht in future in cruizes within the Isle of Wight.
Sir CHARLES PAGET is to give the suitable directions
necessary to fit the AroLco yacht for his MAJESTY.
She is to occupy the dock in which the NAIAD is now
under repair, the workmen employed on which ship
are ordered to expedite her with all possible speed, by
working without any limitation to their earnings.

,Cape of Good Hope on the ISM of September, from

St. ary, Madagascar.

Agent), arrived at Portsmouth from the Mediterra-
nean, with a cargo of returned Government stores,
taken on board at Malta, which place she left on the
14th ult. in company with the Success and Pilot
transports, which arrived last week. The Sophia was
detained to get a new mainmast at Gibraltar; she
left that port on the 11th inst. and next day met his
Majesty's ship ACTIVE, Sir JAMES GORDON,With Lori:
