RAMSGATE. OCTOJJER 25.

Since our last, part of the wreck of a vessel has
been towed on shore near this, supposed to have been
lost on the North Sand-head, appears to have been
foreign built, with a round stern, and about 140 to
150 tons measurement. The timber landed here is
marked 48 N. 6085. LM. numbered progressively.
The oak plank scratched mark W. The cabin win-
dows painted green. The boatmen that were off to
the sand yesterday report that they fell in with seve-,
ral bags of wheat, and what they supposed the bows
of another vessel. It is feared the crews have perished.
A board having the word " Carsjens, 1805," cut on
it in gilt letters, has been picked up amongst the
wreck ; one of the crew was found entangled amongst
the wreck on the sand under water, with an anchor
lying on him : the boatmen state they were unable
to extricate the body. These are all the particulars
we know at present.

JAMAICA PAPERS.

KINGSTON, JULY el
The following extracts of letters received in this
city have been published:

" PANAMA, JUNE 25.

4, A launch has arrived from Guayaquil, dispatched
express from the Governor of that place, informing
our Chief here, that he has received official dis-
patches born the Viceroy of Lima, in which he says,
that nothing has been heard of the Spanish army
after its 2.isembarkation in Talcahuana, and that he
is apprehensive that it has been unsuccessful.' Private
letters agree that it has been completely vanquished,
and bulletins of the Insurgents, announcing the same,
have been received at Lima."

" LIMA, APRIL 23.
" On the 21st inst. an Anterican sloop of war ar-
rived at Callao, from Valparaiso, with the disagree-
able news of the total destruction of the Royal Spa-
nish army by the Insurgents of Chili. The action
was fought on the 6th inst. five miles distant from the
capital, Santiago; the enemy, consisting of 7,000
cavalry and 3,000 infantry, having decoyed the Spa-
nish army insensibly from their place of disembarka-
tion (Talcahuano.) into the interior, took the advan-
tage of a spacious plain, where thcir cavalry could
act with effect ; the battalion of Burgos, and ' also
that of the Infante, were entirely annihilated; they
were the best troops in the expedition. General Oso-
rio escaped ; but the distance to Talcahuana, their
only refuge, being 150 leagues, it is thought impos-
sible that he can reach that place without being taken.
This is the current news at present ; by degrees we
shall know more : all Lima will be in mourning, for
there are but few families that have not some relative
to deplore the loss of.
" P. S. More authentic particulars have transpired ;
printed bulletins of the Insurgelic army are current,
without any reserve. I have not, however, seen them.
They say the defeat was complete ; the prisoners
taken amounted to 2,500 men and 27 Officers, among
them Brigadier o:donez, Governor of Conception,
who commanded the vanguard; Colonel Don Joa-
guir, Ptimo-M iior-General ; and Colonel Morgady,
commander of the cavalry ; their Officers are well
treand, and lod cd with O'Higgins, the second in'
command of the Chilian army. The Commander-
in-Chief of the insurgents, San Martin, is wounded.

UPPER CI.VAD A.

'PO THE EDITOR OF THE SCAR.
Siri—Observing in your Paper of yesterday some
remarks on the affairs of Upper Canada, in which,
amongst others, you state, " The promise of grants
out of these lands was the boon held out by the local
Authorities at the commencement of the late war to
induce the young Men of this Province to come for-
ward in its defence." Now, Sir, I beg to observe
that this is not quite correct. The young men never
thought of, or looked for, any such thing : they'same
forward And offered their servites in consequedo of
a spirited and feeling appeal made to their loyally
and patriotism by that distinguished and ever to be
lamented Officer the late Major-General Sir ISAAC
BROCK ; and it was in consequence of the reports
made by Conimanding Officers of Militia Corps of
the spirit and zeal manifested by the young men on'
this occasion, that the promise of the local Authorities
was made to recommend Certain descriptions of them
for grants of land. In confirmation of which I send
you the original document issued by the Provincial
Government on the occasion. These very men, who
in the first instance defended and saved the Province,
have seen the regular soldiers with whom they were
serving, and many who never served a day in Upper
Canada, both officers and men, receiving grants from
the most favourable situations among the Crown
lands ; while they themselves, by whom these very
lands were defended, could not obtain a foot.—Your
insertion of this explanation will oblige your constant
reader, CANADIENSIS.
September 3d, 1818.
MILITIA GENERAL ORDER,
Government House, York, May 25, 1812.

The very satisfactory Report made to the President, by the
Officers commanding corps, of the spirit and zeal manifested by
the men, in Nolunteering their services in the flank companies,
has afforded his Honour the most lively gratification, and con-
firmed the opinion which he was always disposed to entertain,
of their determination to defend bravely, their Country, and in
imitation of their veteran fathers, evince by deeds, the ardent
loyalty they have so often professed.—Conduct so honourable,
and dignified, has not failed making a deep impression on his
Majesty's Provincial Government, and to increase, if possible,
their anxious desire to contribute every thing in their power to-
wards the comfort and happiness of the people.
With this view they have humbly solicited his Royal High-
ness the Prince Regent, for his gracious permission to allot to
the wives and children of such soldiers, Militia, and Marin:rs,
who may be killed in the present contest, a portion of the waste
lands of the Crown ; and to afford relief to such as may be dis-
abled in the service, for whom no proiision is otherwise pro-
' videa.—By Command of the President,
(Signed) d'E.Nras Straw, Adj. Gen. Militia.

CERACOA, JULY 4.

While the schooner Admiral Kinkkert was lyinutt
S. Thomas's, accounts reached that 61.1'10, by a
launch from Carupano, of Brion having proceeded to
Margarita with the transports he had under convoy,
where he landed their cargoes of naval and military
stores, and agaift proceeded to sea. A few dayrifter
the arrival of the launch from Carupano, a schooner
arrived at St. Thomas's, from St. Bartholomew's, the
Captain of which stated, that on, his passage he fell
in with the frigate commanded by Brion, and a cor-
vette and a brig having a large ship, much disabled,
in tow, supposed to be a frigate, and also a *brig
towing a schooner, the whole apparently proceeding
towards the Five Islands.
Gavaso, who commanded the Spanish squadron
lately blockading the Oroonoco, has returned to Puerto
Cabello.
By an arrival yesterday from St. Eustatia, we learn
that a Council of War was held lately on board
Brion's ship, the Victory, and the result has been,
that three Officers, belonging to his squadron, teen e
found guilty of having committed acts of piracy; and
insubordination, and were in consequence condemned
to be hanged. It is also stated that Bernar,i, \l/41:o
formerly commanded the India Libre, and who w: Is
outlawed by Brion for committing piracy, has been
captured between St. Eustatia and S•aba.
There is a report in circulation,. derived from the
same source, of General Bermudas having been do-
, feated by the Royalists before,Cumana.
ST. THOMAS'S, MAY 4.

Most of our readers will recollect, that about five
months ago, amongst the British Officers then in this
Island on their v. ay to the Spanish Main, was a Gen.
tleman known by the name of Colonel M,Donald.--
A windward island paper now lies before us, con-
taining an account of his being murdered by the In-
dians on his way to head-quarters, where he was to
join Bolivar. This Gentleman was strongly recom-
mended to Bolivar by the Patriot Agent at London,
and his untimely fate holds forth but a poor prospect
for those adventurers whom fate has doomed to walk
in humbler paths.
JUNE 24.—General Soublette, who had been setit
in search of ammunition to Guayana, returned a few
weeks ago to the army, after having dispatched eight
gun-boats with that
_article.
Alm( 11.—It appears from intelligence received
from La Guayra and .Puctto-Cabello tliat the report,
published in our last, of Brion having had. i engage-
ment with a Spanish ficet, was correct. it'is stay('
that he had actually captured two brigs, but That the
ship he had in tow, supposed to be a frigate, '4, s.tid
to have been the Sardinia sloop of war, from the Ha.
♦annah, proceeding to some pert of the Main Ay:Eh
troops.

RICHMOND, AUGUST 4.

It is said that the. United States are about to redeem
the half of the Louisiana Stock, amounting to about
seven millions and a half of dollars, held principally
by the Messrs. Barings, of London. For this purpose,
the Treasury has called upon the United States' Bank,
and the Bank upon its Offices, for various propor-
tions. The Office in Richmond deems it expedient to
call upon its debtors, and to curtail their paper—say
nearly '25 per cent, in 16 weeks. The Bank of Vir-
ginia, in its turn, has determined to curtail its nego-
tiable notes, of all descriptions, five per cent.

therefore, the observance of etiquette alone, inde-
pendent of the personal feelings of the childless pa-

The negotiations Which our Readers are aware
have been recently going on between the Emperor
ALEXANDER and the Persian Court, begin to assume
a character which renders them not only particularly
interesting to this country on account of our East
Indian Dependencies, but which demands the serious
attention of every Government to whom the rapidly
' increasing aggrandizement of Russia can possibly bo'
an object.of apprehension. With the circumstances

of General YERMOLOFF'S mission to Tchiran, our
Readers are already in some measure acquainted
and it will be especially in their recollection, that in.
the General's train were a number of French Officers,,

who had formerly been employed by NAPOLEON, ON'
a pioneering mission into Persia, for the express
purpose of ascertaining the practicability, of a pas-
sage through that cosuntry to India. The Reports
and maps sent by that Mission to NAPOLEON
had been carried into Russia at the time of the
French invasion ; they had been left behind dur-
ing the confusion of the retreat ; they came into
the possession of ALEXANDER; and the first result et*
the acquisition was ALEXANDER'S taking into his
service the whole of the officers, except three, whose
valuable labours had fallen into his hands. We have
no disposition idly or speculatively to impute an un-
due ambition to the Russian Autocrat; but with a
fact like this before us, and when we know farther,
that the reports and maps alluded to so demonstrated
the practicability of an expedition to India, that NA-
POLEON had resolved, in the event of his triumphing
over Russia, of sending an united French and Rus-
sian force on that expedition, we see nothing idle,
and something very different from mere speculation,
in insisting that there are grounds for apprehension, and

The new year was ushered in here on Thursday
morning with the accustomedfestivities : no dispos-

day was, as usual, observed as a holiday at the
Banks and Public Offices.

The gold Prize-Medal given annually by the Dud-
dingston Curling Society to the victor, was played
for upon Duddingston Loch on New Year's Day
and won by the Rev. Dr. DAVID Byrom.
Notwithstanding the severe -and continued ftost,
very little snow has hitherto fallen,. excepting a little
between Newcastle and Berwick, where it may be
six. inches deep in some places : there is none to be
seen on the whole line of road from London.

Winter now unfolds his awful train, ' vapours,
clouds and storms :' and all nature appears but one
dreary waste : yet, cold and gloomy as this season
usually is, it offers to the grateful mind many an in-
teresting subject of contemplation. Among these
may be mentioned the effects of the hoar-frost, or of
the dew or mist frozen. This adheres to every ob-
ject on which it falls, and produces figures of incom-
parable beauty and elegance. Every twig and blade
of grass is beset by it with innumerable glittering
pearly dips, or silver plumage.. These appearances
are still more striking, the farther we proceed to the
North. It sometimes happens that a shower of rain
fall during a frost, and immediately turns to ice.
But Winter, in our teMperate regions, exhibits very
few phenomena, in comparison with what is visible
in the Arctic Circle. TuoMsox, therefore, has judi-
ciously enriched his noble conclusion of the Seasons
with all the circumstances of picturesque beauty or
terrific grandeur that could be borrowed from scenes
fat remote from us. The farnish'd troops of wolves
*wing from the Alps—the mountains of snow roll-
ink learn the precipices of the. same countries—thc
dreary plains over which the Laplander urges his
reindeer—the wonders of the icy sea—and volcanoes
flaming through a waste of snow,objects are selected
rearip with the greatestpropriety from all that Nature pre-
sents most singular and striking in the various do-
mains of Bo cold and desolation ; where
Winter, armed with terrors here unknown,
Sits absolute on his unshaken throne ;
Piles up his stores amid the frozen waste,
And bids the mountains he has built, stand fast !

Beckons the legions of his storms away
Pions happier scenes to snake the land a prey:
Proclaims the soil a conquest he Ku won,
And scorns to share it with the distant Sin ! cows&
The most intense cold in England is usually felt in
the month of January ; and the weather is either,
bright with frost, or foggy with much snow. A
shower of snow is well described by Homan, in the
following lines, as translated by Pope :
In Winter's bleak uncomfortable reign
A stowy inundation hides the plain;
Jove stills the winds, and bids the skies to sleep ;
Then pours the silent tempest thick and deep :
And first the mountain tops are covered o'er,
Then the green fields, and then the sandy shore ;
Hatt with the weight the nodding woods are seat,
And one bright waste hides all the works et seen:
The circling seas alone, absorbing all,
Drink the dissolving fleeces as they fall!

WOQLWICII.
After the launch of the Tatarasa at Woolwich, en Thursday,
the greater part of the company proceeded to the raze ground,
which is situated upon the common, in from of the Artillery
Barracks, and is most admirably calculated for such exhibitions.
The sports of the day were confined solely to the Officers of
Woolwich, and those immediately resident in the neighbourhood.
The horses entered for running were many of them thorough
bred, and by their dinning afforded admirable amusement.—
Several strangers attempted to enter their horses, but this**,
not permitted. The business of the day was conducted with the
most perfect order, and every facility was afforded for the ac-
commodation of the visitors. The waggons of the artillery train
were drawn np on each side of the course near the winning post,
and in these convenient seats were provided. Beyond the.wag- 1
gons to a considerable distance, three was a line of carriages of
all descriptions, filled with well-dressed persons, while the
course itself was crowded with grooms of fashion and bsautyr.-
A great part of the ground was roped on each side, so auto pro-,
vent accident, and a detachment of the horse artillery pagt
backwards and forwards, tb•siop the obtrinion of petipal ILO
sonaetted with the races, at improperaperbads„ - •
The first race enlisted of two-mile heats...anal for a plate
of 50f.
value. Six horses were entered : four oolyian.. After
the first heat one was withdrawn. Of the thrmienutining horses
each won a heat, consequently the decision did oat take place
till the fourth heat, "which was won with considerable &Stilt,'
by a bay horse the property of,Lieutenant Baown. There ware
afterwards two handicaps run by four and three horses, each of
which was admirablYcontested. The sports did not conclude-till
nearly six o'clock, when every person departed highly gratified.
Friday the sports were renewed, and although the ground was
not so well attended as on the preceding day, yet the company
was select and respectable ; and we have no doubt if regular
races were established, that -this COW'Se would become a place:,
ef favourite resort. •
The town of 'Woolwich profited by the great influx of stets.
gers; and the stages in the eveninewere utterly incompetent so
convey the passengers who sought places to London. ?daily
were therefore obliged to walk to Greenwich before they could
obtain accommodation. .

SMYRNA, SEPTEMBER 2.

According to the latest accounts from Constanti-
nople, which are only three or four days old, very
great discontent prevails in that city. Several great
fires had taken place, the last of which, about a weel
ago, burnt down 10,000 houses in 2'7 hours.'
A Courier arrived here yesterday from Cairo,

20 days, bringing the news that the troops of th,
Pacha, in Upper Egypt, have been defeated by th,
Weehabites, which has had an immediate influene
on the prim of Moka Coffee, as the Weehabites de-
stroy, without mercy, all the coffee plantations.
On the Bth of last month there was a violent earth-
quake in the island of Candia.

Where an assemblage of talent and expeiience is
concentrated in one line of practice, A Success must
attend their application, not to be found elsewhere.
This !las been evinced in the Establishment of the
Medical Board at Charlotte-House, BlAckfriars-road,
and at Woodstock-House, Woodstock. street, Oxford-
street, where cures are every clay performed in cases
, which have baffled_ the skill of eminent professors,
and excited their astonishment.—The Medical ward
have particularly attended to those consequences of a
certain disease, which entails the most distressing dt
bilities, and unhinges the constitution of both sexes.
They also remove the effects of those symptoms ari:-
iag
from juvenile indiscretion, from irregular living,
and.from a long residence in warm climates—of this
description they beg particularly to notice obstinate
eruptions in the skin, sore throat, pains in the head and
limbs, frequently mistaken for rheumatism, stricture,
fistulas, scrophula, &c.—Messrs. COOPER and Co.
after forty years practice in various Hospitals, are
consulted at Woodstock-street, Oxford-street, daily,
from eight till eight; and at the Medical Board,
Charlotte-House, Great Charlotte-street, Blackfriars-
road, precisely from twelve until eight in the evening.
—Mechanics, and persons of moderate income, have
advice, gratis, if they attend at certain hours, namely,
Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday mornings, until one
o'clock, and from six to eight every evening.

R9YBL ANNUITIES.

The CHIEZ BAHOX and Mr. Justice BERROCCII, it;
their judicial robes, brought up a message from the
Lords, stating their Lordships assent to the two Bills
for granting Annuities to the Duke of Cambridge
and the Duchess of Cumberland.

ALLENS.

Mr. LAMBTON said, he was induced to move
for the papers of which he had given notice, because
the Noble Lord had declared, that the Alien Bill
was intended to assist the policy of other States with
regard to Aliens; while a Noble Lord in another
place had said that the Bill was limited to British
objects solely. With a view, then, of enabling the
House to judge for itself, he should-move for copies
or extracts of all correspondence since the 30th of
November, 1815, between any of his Majesty's Se-
cretaries of State and the Secretaries of State tor Fo-
reign Powers ; and in the next place, for copies or
extracts of all correspondence between the Secretary
of State and the British Ambassador to the Nether,.
lands, respecting passports granted, or denied, to
persons not subjects of this United Kingdom,• or the,,
Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Lee& CASTLEREAGH said, the object (1.4
Honourable Member could only be to obtain an..ad-
ditional discussion on the Alien Bill. In the observa-
tions he had made on a former night, he had merely
contrasted the advantages of an Alien Law ir.• this
country, with the state of the Netherlands, where,
for want of such a security, the wicked and design-
ing had been plotting against the peace of Europe.
He was sure the Honourable Member could not point
out any instance in which the Alien Law had been
used for other than British objects. He had always
argued, that though foreigners ought not to be allow-
ed to abuse our hospitality by fomenting plots and
disturbances, yet it was right they should be per-
mitted to come to this country, provided they did
not disturb the public peace. He was sure the
otrae Mustfeel that these were strong reasons against
Mats the documents public which were moved
ibr, arts he should, therefore, oppose the motion.
jar FRANCIS BURDETT observed, that it w-ss
well for the Noble Lord to say, that no abuse
had been seade-bf this power, but he would defy the
Noble Lard to spew any instance that would have
metlered it necessary to send any Alien out of this
callittry under this Act. Was it too much to ask of
lialigirs to give an account of the way in which
they bad exercised these powers? It was well known
how liable this power was to abuse. He recolleseld
