The following account of the Peruvian Capital,

IhTocin the country, was struck with the beauty a

of the same name, at t!,.1: distance of six miles from
Calk), he founded a city, and gave it the name of
Ciudad de los Iteye;, or City of the Kings. This S,,a-
nish name it retains in all legal deeds, but is better
known to foreigners by that of Lima, a corruption of
the appellation of the valley in which it stands.—

brick wall, flanked with bastions, in which are seven
.a:es. The base, or longer side, extends two
along the bank of the river, and from the base to the
,rice angle; it is a mile and three-quarters. It is,
like most other towns founded by the Spaniards, laid
ant insquares 450 feet each way, with sttects of a
proportional width crossing each other at right
angles. The houses are generally only one story
high, and the roofs covered with coarse linen cloth,
of only reeds, for it seldom rains here ; but the rich
habitants cover theirs with fine mats, or beautiful
Aron cloths; and there are trees planted round

BRIGHTO_V, NOVEMBER 28.

The KING has not yet appeared in public; but we
are happy to say that his MAJESTY is in a most ex-
cellent state of health. . .

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY arrived on Satur-
day. His Lord•hip, together with the Earl of LIVER-
PoOL, left at twelve o'clock yesterday.
Thursday evening, Lord EARDLEY, in stepping
from his carriage, at the doors of the Theatre, lost
his footing, and fell down. His Lordship, howevei,
experienced but slight inconvenience from the cir-
cumstance.
Monday, a young Lady was thrown out of a gig,
which a servant was driving from the Dyke, and
slightly bruised. The young Lady was taken to a
house on the road from the Dyke to Brighton, and
actually refused admittance while in so distressing
a situation.
The Groyne at Black Rock has again been injured
by the late severe gales.and high tides.
The subscription for the establishment of steam
packets between Brighton and Dieppe now amounts
to nearly MOO.
The practice of knocking at the doors of houses in
the night, and disturbing the inmates, is becoming
so serious a nuisance, that we have been assured no
less than twenty families have in consequence of it
left the town, and sought elsewhere a more quiet
place of abode.
