BLTENOS:AYRES, AUGUST 23, 1820.

A dreadful gale came on here on the 20th instant,
and lasted several days. It has occasioned much-
distress. The following vessels are lost :—The Achilles,
Captain Tindall; the Trafalgar, Captain —; the
Argo, Captain Storey ; Hercules, Captain Newdi-
gate ; Dispatch, Captain Lindon ; beside seventeen
schooners and small vessels. All this is at Buenos
Ayres. At Ensenada, the port below this, report
mentions the loss of the Atlas, with all her crew, the
Guillaume, and Essex. We have no accounts from
Monte Video, but expect to hear very bad news indeed.
—The Mole at this place is destroyed. The river
rose 14 feet, and all the gardens and grounds near
the sea are now full of small vessels from 60 to 20
tons, Several lives have been lost, and the beach of
Buenos Ayres presents one of the most melancholy
scenes you can conceive.
The Owen Glendower rode it out well. She lost
her small bower anchor and barge, but no lives.—
The Icarus lost her cutter, but also no lives. The
Pirn, Rover, and Tranmer merchant vessels, are still
in great distress, and much may be feared for them.
Political matters continue much in the same state.
The Federal army, under Lopez, Alvear, and Camera,
have retreated from San Nicolas towards Santa Fe,
and this city is relieved, for the present, from the
danger of being sacked, but for how long Goa
only knows, as report says Alvear is determined to
come in again by and bye ; and so little cordiality
exists among the different departments of the Buenos
Ayrian Government, that little can be expected from
them whenever the enemy makes his appearance in
full force. The Icarus sails for England directly.—
Lord Cochrane had not sailed from Chili on July 21,
though the ships were all ready, and the men bad
been paid their arrears. The troops under San
Martin amount to 4,000, well armed, clothed, and
accoutred. Clothing and arms are ready with them
for 6,000 recruits, and the whole expedition is well
organized: so say the best authorities. Some differ-
ence exists between Lord Cochrane and the Chilian
Government, but not to the extent reported. Captain
Guise was under arrest on the 21st of June, for dis-
respect to his Chief and disobedience of orders. The
result is not known. Captain Forster was com-
manding his ship.

The Shipwrights on their way yesterday to Bran-
denburgh House, and on their return, drew up in
line opposite the Mansion House, and greeted the
LORD MAYOR with three distinct Cheers.
Great preparations are making by the Brass
Workers, Armourers, and Braziers,-who intend going
up with an Address of Congratulation to her MA-
JESTY, next Monday three weeks, with knights in
armour, battle axes, &c. They expect to make it
the grandest public procession which has yet gone
up to Brandenburgh House.
The lovers of Astronomy will shortly have a fa-1
vourahle opportunity of observing the new planet
Vesta. By a paper laid before the Astronomical So.
ciety of London, it appears that she will be in oppo-
sition between Gemini and Cancer on the evening of
the 13th of January. If a line be drawn from Castor
through Pollux, it will cut two stars in Cancer, of the
sixth magnitude, situated near to each other, and de-
signated in the catalogues by the Greek letter pg. The
most northerly of these two stars is called 1 At, and
the southerly 2la she will pass close to the latter of
these, on the 29th instant, and proceed nearly in a
straight line towards A. in Cancer; to the north of
which she will pass on the 9th of February. 13y the
assistance of a map of the constellation Gemini, this
planet may be readily found with' a good telescope, and
her progress watched for upwards of two months.

The Public will be pleased to hear that Mr. CAMP*
BILL inteads to publish his Lectures on Poetry, lately
delivered at the Royal Institution, in the forthcoming
Numbers a the New. Monthly Magazine; a new Se-
ries of which will be commenced on the st-ol Jae
Inlay next.

1' REPUBLIC OP HAiTi
IiPEO6LAMATION TO TAR PEOPLE AND nit AnMT 01

THE ARTIEONITE AND THE NORTH.
" IRA), Purina. Botta, PHISIDIDI? or Hsirrt.
Crensiis! Souneas I—The horrid deipotiim under which
you have groaned these last fourteen yeah, and the misery losi
bare Undergone, appear to approach to their end. The rst
effort fur your liberty Is given you by St. Marc's, which hal
just ranged itself under the banner of the Itelmblic. It vrisW
thing, My dear Countrymen, to have fought the French; so
acqUire our National Independence, if i wise organization abet
a well represented Government had not come to assure, rill[
only for our present generation, but tti our children, the betel*
of the Church, and the equality of rights, and in the end td
guarantee a long existence to regenerated Hayttans... .It is tot
that object that the Representatives of the People are -labour
ing, while beneral Christophe constilted nothing but his ambit
tion and pasiluns. He misused the authority which had vary;
quished our ancient tyrants, entered this town like a desperado,.
'where were collected the Constitutional Assembly, and cons:
muted a civil war, because Our Legislature bad judged it ne-
cessary to limit the Magistrlte'd Zuthority over the People,
Goa has not permitted that this haughty man should succeed in
his project ; he was repelled in his attempt ; the Government
of the Republic ifial organized from the Constitution, emanating
from the general will. The laws are equally benekehd tb all
Citizens, and have established its empire ; and the &ate, d ditew
step but a scrim one, has constantly marched, since thatipecioid,
towards its solidity and prosperity, whilst the phantoin of poWor
which General Christopbe has usurped over you has fallen by
-catastrophe. The iron rod which he held weighty over your
beads will now be broken in his own bands.

" Citizen! &Mkt-. !—I will not repeat to yoskall the boi
rors which the Chief of the North, or his Agents, have com-
mitted. They are repugnant to my heart, and I baiten to
drive them from my imagination; but I will recal to you this
incontestible truth.--' When virtue is enlisted against vice, the
triumph of the latter cannot be very lasting; this is the will of
the MOST HiGM.
a' Like my predecessor, Alexander i'etlon, the founder of
our Republic, I had always calculated that, with your aid; we
should one day break the iron yoke of the oppressor, who has
so frequently violated personal rights, and heaped accumulated
misery on Hayti. Follow the eiample of the Bth Brigade and
the garrison of St. Marc's. Follow these brave Men. AU the
military men who may join the Republic shall be amply re-
warded. After this day of pain and sorrow will succeed that of
union and friendaip.
" Inhabitantsthe Artibonite and of the North! Soldier*
of all ranks, my companions in arms—the Mariam eau no
longer have any dignstes to cause the effusion of blood amoeg
themselves. Let us thank the ALMIGHTY. Let us forget all
that has passed, and be mindful of the unfortunate. The Re-
publican army which you see at St. Marc's, the Commune of
Berettes, the Cahos a St. Raphael, a la Grand Riviere a Val-
Here, is placed there solely for the purpose of maintaining the
public tranquillity, and protecting your families, your fortunes,
cod your rights. It will violate none of your rights ; and what
it may take shall be scrupulously paid for.
" Thus, my friends, unite in re-planting thiPTree of Liberty,
which has been torn down by your tyrants. Rally round it, add
partake of all its enjoyments ; but avoid all reproaches of your
brethren. The Republic requires no bloody conquees.• It
wants only those of the heart, and its kindest affections. If
any one errs, the laws will punish him. Forget, I say, once
more. all that has past, and think only of the future. Come
like children and enjoy the benefit of your laws.
" Live the Republic of Hayti ! Live Independence ! Live
Liberty and Equality
Given at the National Palace of &. Marc, 16th Oct. 111110,
Seventeenth Year of our Independence. (Signed, &c.)

The following is an Matinee a letter from Barba-
does, dated September 13, 1820:—" We were last
week roused by the arrival of the Rev. Mr. Wilson,
with an account of a revolt in a company of the 3d
West India Regiment, that had as a temporary mea•
surf been sent from Trinidad to Tobago, and indus-
trious reports soon magnified it to an insurrection of
the Negroes, and an attempt to burn the town; how-
ever there really were grounds su*kient to induce
Sir F. Robinson to embark immediately-with two
companies of the Fusileers. Whilst I am writing, the
Lady Combermere (army vessel) has come in from
Tobago; she has brought up the two companies of
the -4th Foot from ;hat island to convalesce. As
might be imagined, all is quiet at Tobago ; the com-
pany of the 3d West India Regiment has been sent
baek to Trinidad, after due examples being made of ,
the instigators of the disturbance..
Thursday; the shipWestmorland, for Van Dieman's
Land, with settlers (a very respectable body of men),
and about twenty-five sail of other outward-bound
ships, which were forced into Portsmouth by contrary
winds, proceeded for their respective destinations...
The transport Thomas and Mary, SPENCE Agent,
also sailed for Gibraltar, with provisions for ae
garrison; the Aldbary, Lieutenant Holmes, for
Cork, to take. part of the 80th Regiment thence to
Gibraltar, and bring home part of the 11th Regiments
and the Kinnersley Castle, for Cork, to take part of
the 35th Regiment to Barbadoes, and return with
part of the 2d Regiment.
The new Neapolitan Ambassador to our Court,
Prince CIMITILI, arrived in town yesterday se'nnight,
and on Thursday he was introduced to Lord CAST/
..-
Radon by Count Lunocirr, the Neapolitan Ambas-
sador, who is recalled, but appointed to 611 a similar'
post at Constantinople, where his Excellency had re-
sided sixteen years as the Representative of his Court,
excepting the time when the Throne of Naples was
occupied by JOSRPH BONAPARTR and Mueetr•—•
Prince Osumi was received by the Noble Lord as
private Gentleman. To the honour of the Prince
it must be said, that he was not employed by MURAT)
indeed he was quite out of favour with NAPOLEON.
Letters and Papers have arrived from the Cape of
Good Hope to the 15th of October. The animosity
which had prevailed among some of the settlers from
Great Britain, at Algoa Bay, had ahnost entkely sub.
sided. Sir R. S. DOREEN, Governor at the Cape in
the absence of Lord H. Soma:tsar, had issued a Pro.
clamation in consequence of the increase of pops.
lation in various parts of the colony, appointing cer.
tain Hemreeden, or Magistrates, for the more prompt
administration of justice. Similar persons have been
nominated to administer justice in the new settlement
at Algoa Bay.
The Annsurl Biography and Obituarf for 1821, will
appear early in January, together with Memoirs of
the Royal Family. This Volume is enriched with
the Biography of several eminent Persons. Sir Jo-
=PH Bancs, late President of the Royal Society, re.
caves a due share of praise, for his adventurous
spirit on behalf of Natural History, during the early
period of his labonis; his patronage of Science in ge.
neral at a mature age; and his Agricultural, as well
as Horticultural pursuits, towards the conclusion of
a long, useful, and meritorious life. An attempt is
also made, in the Life of Mr. ARTHUR YOUNG, St..
cretary to the Board of Agriculture, to appreciate
the merits and the labours of that Gentleman, during
a period of- half a century ; while Mr. Wes?' Major
Toetwo, Dr. MOZILLY, and a numerous list of men
of character and talents, have had all proper anen-
t don paid to .their respective merits.
