CHARLESTON, AUGUST 30.

We are sorry to perceive (says the Franklin Ga-
zette) that the malignant fever continues to make
serious ravages among the citizens of Baltimore.

A Jamaica Mail arrived this morning, with Papers
to the 16th of August. They contain accounts of a
most disastrous description to the cause of Inde-,
pendence on the coasts of the Pacific. General ST.
MARTIN has been completely routed in a great battle
with the Royalists; and the Esmeralda frigate, so
gallantly captured by Lord COCHRANE, has been re-
taken by the Spaniards. The following are the details:
FROM THE ROYAL GAZETTE OF THE 11TH AUGUST.

By the Esperanza, accounts were received from
Panama to the 20th ult. respecting the contest in
Peru. Intelligence, it appears, has been brought by
the schooner Guadeloupe, in ten days from Payta,
which, we hear, is of the utmost importance.

The Chilian Commander, San Martin, having left
behind him a garrison of 900 invalids, embarked at
Guacho with 4000 men, who were landed at the
Chorillas, situate within two leagues of Lima. The
Royalist army immediately attacked the troops of
San Martin with great intrepidity, whom they routed
with immense slaughter, upwards of 1600 of the
Chilian troops having been left dead on the field of
battle. San Martin, with the remainder of his corps,
favoured by the approach of night, fled with the ut-
most precipitation, and escaped on board the ves-
sels whence they disembarked. Their destination was
not known.

The Governor of Trusillo is stated to have mani-
fested a disposition to put himself on the defensive:
a division of troops has been sent against him from
Lima.

The Captain of
,a British ship employed hi the
whale fishery, which had touched at Payta shortly
after the departure of the Cuadaloupe, reported that
he had spoken a Spanish brig of war, in company
with a ship of the line and a frigate of the same na-
tion, directing their course to the port of Callao.
The prisoners who were on board the Esmeralda
frigate, after the capture by Lord Cochrane, had
risen upon the crew, re-captured, and carried her
into Lima.

The inhabitants of Guayaquil have been recently
overwhelmed with the greatest affliction and despair,
in consequence of the arrival of an Expedition from
Choco, and the heavy contributions levied on them
by these troops.

We have received letters from Smyrna of the 17th,
and from Constantinople of the 25th ult. The gene-
ral impression was in favour of peace, and so strong
that every one in the Turkish capital seemed to act
upon the force of it:

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, when Captain P. CAIWZRON was
sworn into the command of the ship Earl cf Bakat ras,
consigned to Bengal and China.
Sir CoLIN HALKITT, the new Lieutenant-Gover-
nor of the Island of Jersey, was sworn in on Monday
last, with the usual ceremony, in the presence of the
Royal Court.

Measures are taken to raise a Public Subscription
for Sir ROBERT WILSON. A private meeting of his
Friends and Constituents took place last night for
that purpose, preparatory to a more formal one.
—Sir ROBERT WILSON has not left Paris, nor, for
the present, intends doing so. He has, however,
written to the COMMANDER-IN-CIIIEF to request a
Court-Martial, and upon the receipt of an answer in
the negative, he will immediately address a public
letter to his Constituents, and take no other public
step until the meetirr, of Parliament.

THE KING'S PROGRESS.

- ROCHESTER, CHATHAM, Sce.
FARTHER PARTICULARS.
On Monday morning the streets of Rochester and
Chatham were crowded with well-dressed people in
expectation of his Kisses Ty's approach. A Guard
of Honour, composed from the Royal Sappers and
Miners, the Royal Veterans, and 7lst Regiment of
Foot, marched to the Crown Inn,. accompanied by
the band of the Royal Marines and bugles of the
list. The Cobham Yeomanry, under the command
of Lord CLIFTON, proceeded to the New-road, where
the troops of the garrison were stationed.
About a quarter before four, the arrival of his
Moser! was announced by di•ch•{rges of artillery,
the bells of the Cathedral, and the shouts of the po-
pulace. After changing horses at the Crown Inn,
his MAJESTY proceeded without making any stay.—
When the band played Goo save the King, several
persons joined in the national anthem. His MAJESTY
tonversed with Sir A. Cuarsrts, and repeatedly
bowed to the populace. He passed through the
streets, however, with the glasses of his carriage
closed, and most of those who had anxiously waited
during the day, obtained but a very imperfect view
of his MAJESTY.
SITTINGBOWINE, SEPTEMBER 24.
At this place, as well as on the fine hills near it,
immense numbers were assembled, to greet his MA-
JESTY on his arrival. The reception of the KING
equalled in enthusiasm what had previously been ex-
perienced on the road. The company, all of whom
were most genteelly dressed, had neatly and orderly
ranged themselves along the sides of the road, and
at the windows and balconies of the houses. In Sit-
tingbourne there were various colours displayed ; and
at the Rose Inn, where horses were changed, there
was a large flag hung right across the road. In front
of the Inn, there were drawn up a small party of
Lancers, who constituted the guard of honour.
CANTERBURY.
The preparations made at this place to give effect
to the reception of his MAJESTY, on his entrance into'
this fine old city, were most interesting and exten-
sive. They were worthy of the brave "men of Kent."
By twelve o'clock, the doorways and windows of
almost every house in the long main-street, were
nearly literally covered with fresh and large oak
boughs. The effect produced by this novel sight
was delightful in the extreme. The street was covered
with new gravel. There were several colours sus-
pended from different windows, as well as various
banners, and on some of the Litter were sundry in-
scriptions :—" The King ;" " The King and Constitu-
tion, &c. And, by the same hour, the East Kent
Yeomanry, under the command of Sir EDWARD
KNATCHBULL, Bart. M.P. were in attendance, fully
equipped. They soon afterwards proceeded along
the road to take up their stations, and thence marched
to meet his MAJESTY on his approach. They were
accompanied by various private Gentlemen on horse-
back. The crowds assembled, of Ladies as well as
Gentlemen, to meet his MAJESTY, were immense.—
The Corporation were in attendance soon after noon,
but it was intimated to them that time would prevent
his MAJESTY from receiving here, as well as else.
where, the dutiful Addresses of his loyal subjects.—
Having changed horses, his MAJESTY went forward
for Ramsgate, where he was to dine with Sir WIL-
LIAM CURTIS.

TROST ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
After an anxious expectation of some hours, at
about six in the evening his MAJESTY arrived in his
travelling carriage, preceded by a detachment of the
9th Lancers, which Regiment had lined the streets
from the Guildhall to Westgate, and followed by
Captains PARKER, Sir JOHN HONYWoOD, and HAL-
FORD'S troops of Yeomanry Cavalry, which had met
this MAJESTY at Harbledown, and to whom was con-
fided the honour of escorting him to Sarr, where
they were relieved by Lieutenant-Colonel GA R HATT'S
troop, which were similarly honoured with the escort
to Ramsgate. His MAJESTY passed rapidly through
the streets, and halting opposite the Guildhall, for
the purpose of changing horses, was received with
British cheers by an immense assemblage of the pep-
ple ; the MAYOR and Corporation being arranged in
front of the Hall in their robes, with the emblems of
their office, and the mace, which had been previzrr
ousil7
borne on the shoulder, being lowered on his MAJr
approach. His MAJESTY seemed much gratified with
these marks of attention, and shook hands with some
Gentlemen who reached the carriage. After the lapse
of a few minutes, the horses being changed, the car-
riage proceeded with the escort above described for
Ramsgate, when the cheers which had scarcely sub-
sided, were renewed, and continued for some minutes.
RAMSGATE, SEPTEMBER 54.
As early as seven o'clock this morning preparations
were commenced for receiving our gracious KING in
the most loyal and becoming manner. The whole
of the High-street was gravelled over, and every
house had boughs of laurel suspended from its win-
dows. Several triumphal arches were erected through
High-street and Queen-street, and one also at Saint
Laurence, a mile and a half from town, by which his
MAJESTY had to pass, and though only composed of
a pole driven into each side of the street with a spar
across it, at the elevation of about twelve or fifteen
feet, simply covered with branches of trees, the effect
was pleasing. Flags were waving in every direction,
and seen through the arches descending the High-
street, exhibited a most picturesque appearance. In
the early part of the morning the principal streets to
the Pier were almost impassable, owing to the num-
ber of waggons which were laden with sand and
boughs ; and this difficulty was not much diminished
when carriages, tilburies, and vehicles of every other
description, occupied their places. About ten o'clock,
four companies of the 86th Regiment, under the
command of Colonel JOHNSTON; arrived from Chat-
ham, and a few hours alter were drawn up on the
terrace in front, of the house of Sir WILLIAM CURTIS.
As the day advanced, the bustle increased, and the
preparations for an illumination were everywhere
visible. Margate, Sandwich, :and the other neigh-
bouring towns, seem to have poured all their popula-
tion into this favoured, and I may add, envied spot.
His MAJESTY.S yacht arrived in the Downs in the
forenoon, and is expected to reach the Pier in the
course of the evening. A boarded pathway has been
erected from the Pier-house to where the tide reaches
at flood, and hum whence hi) MAJl.syy proposes to

arrived, which Was the hour at which it Was sme4'
his MaJrsry would reach us, consideiable
pointment was expressed by the contenances, as well
as the observations, or expecting thousands A passing
shower soon followed, and the night was closing
without the welcome approach of our atmtist-cm,
!merino. The illumination commenced abo'ot seven"
o'clock, and was more general, more sulking, 3
better arranged than any we remember to have wit.
nessed for many years past. Many houses were ous,
rented with variegated lamps; some displayed sp.
propriate transparencies; and the humblest cetta%
v.a e evidence of its owner's loyalty.
ej Sir WILLIAM CURTIS'S yacht was splendidly 4,
tninated ; and the Pier, which was lighted on bass,
sides, afforded from the upper part of the tows
most striking spectacle. The finest sight, however,
was that which burst upon the eye as you stood%
the Pier. A body of light seemed flowing down,
and as if undulating in its passage. The innumerable
flags which reached from the topmasts of the ships
within the bason to the highest windows of the houses
opposite, were flaonting in the wind, and by occa•
sionall) intervening with the descending brilliancy, '
added to its richness, and produced a most imposing
' coup cried. We never witnessed more patience, or I
greater degree of good humour in so vast a concave.*
of persons as was displayed on this occasion. Those
who had travelled for many miles to catch a glimpse
at their Sovereign, had for more than half an hour
'
to remain under very heavy rain ; but the only rert
they expressed was, that they were not now likely ia
have their expectations gratified.
Ihlf past Lot
A few minutes after eight o'clock, Ins Marian
passed through ligh-street and Queen-street, to de
splendid residence of Sir WILLIAM Cuitris. The
Monarch was eBcorted by a party of the Lancersola
preceded, and of the Isle of Thanet Yeomanry Ca.
valry, who followed him.
An accident occurred as the Royal carriage turned
the sharp angle at the Market-place, by which owed
the lamps was broken, and a respectable Getelema
knocked down. On inquiry, however, we find tha
this individual sustained no serious injury. Sowed
the Cavalry were unhorsed, owing to the depth d
sand in the streets, and the very great speed sit!
which they were obliged to travel. Had his %Jun
arrived before sunset, a Royal salute would have ben
fired from the Pier; but that tribute was delayed td
next morning, being the usual etiquette under sad
circumstances. The Earl of LIVERPOOL was all dal
in attendance at Sir WILLIAM Coitus's, togethe
with the Lord Chief Justice DALLAS, Mr. Ike
Gaanow, Sir Was. CURTIS, and other Gentlemeacf
the Deputation, who were in waiting to know siv
it would be the Royal pleasure to receive the Moo
ing Address, just voted at the Town Hall:

TOESDAT MOIINING, TiE o'cusg.
A Royal salute from the guns on the batteries ma
the vessels of the Royal squadron, announced tkl
morning the presence of his MAJZSTY in this highly fr
Toured port. After breakfast his MAJESTY proceeded
from the house of the hospitable owner of Cliff Hest
to the place of embarkation amidst the loud cheerior
of an immense concourse of spectators, who cored
every spot which commanded a view of the harbor.
His MAJESTY walked with a firm step agillixed
in excellent health and spirits. He was Melded°
the shore by the Earl of LIVERPOOL, Lord Clid
tice DALLAS, Sir WILLIAM GARROW, Sir Ulan
CURTIS, &c. After reaching the Royal George,
be
MAJESTY remained on deck ; and as the :clothes
weighed out to sea, kept his looks fixed on the ail
cliffs of Old England, and waved his hat repeat
in token of acknowledgment of the loud cheers wind
resounded from the shore, mingled with wall
prayer for his safe return.

The Royal George yacht passed through the DO
about half-past twelve A.M. for Calais, in a most
jestic style, with his MAJESTY on board, followed 111
the rest of the squadron; and a great number of ply'
sure-boats of all descriptions. The squadron
chored in Calais Roads at half-past three.

CALMS, SEPTEMBER 25.
ELEvras o'CiAxE, A.M.

Our little place is quite alive this morning, as it is
now certain the KING will arrive at Calais. The
Duke of WELLINGTON and the Marquis of LONDON-
num' arrived yesterday, and this instant the Venus
steam•vessel k come in with Sir BENJAMIN BLOOM-
van, and SirWrwase CURTIS'S son, &c.
We hear the cannon firing in the Downs, and are
all anxiously waiting the sight of the yacht. The
Quay is covered with people, and the weather being
•ery fine the greatest gaiety prevails.
