Cornuna Gazettes to the 30th ult. have arrived,
ht ought by vessels which to )k their departure on the
approach of the French to Gijon. They contain some
satisfactory particulars of the preparations in Galicia
for the defence of that Frorince. At the principal
port, they were then wholly unacquainted with the
arrival of the ch in the neighbourhood of Gijon.
and were under no apprehensions whatever of a ft::
ture visit of the enemy from whose former intrusion
they had experienced so much calami y.
By a vessel which has arrived at Kinsale, letters
hive been received from Buenos Ayres, of the sth of
November, and from Rio Janeiro, of the 4th of the
subsequent month; the following is one of the former:
" BUFKOSIATRES, NOVEMBER S. •
" The trade here continues open. In order to encourage the
interior manufactures, an aGitional 10 per cent. Is laid upon
cloths, cot:on goads, shoe; and some other articles; but notwith-
standing the increased duties, we expect that this market will he
soon glutted as much as that of Rio Jareirn.
" I have just been at the celebration of high mass in honour of
the victory of Talavera."
It will be observed, by what is just stated; that the
tarif, lately published on the itnpolt duties at Buenos
Ayres, is erroneous.

Accounts have been received a: Plymouth; that tl-e
inhabitants of Ceylon had risen upon the British, mu-
' sacred several of them, and that the 19th regiment has
suffered Severely. But Government have not received
any official information on this subject.
Jamaica Papers of the 23d of December state, that
the differences which prevailed in that island were not
then terminated.
ESSEX Er.Jc'uoN, 12T11 D.tt.—At the close of the
poll yesterday, the numbers were:

Houhion, .:t67—Burgoyne, 7.54.--Majority, 1613.
The friends of Mr. BATtiuRNT are disposed to think
that this unfertnnate Gentleman is still alive. Their ex-
pectations are founded on the anxiety displayed in the
Mcniteur to charge Mr. BATHURST with i nsanity an ti 101 l y.
These charges are completely refuted by the uniform
steady conduct of that Gentleman, and by the skill
which he displayed in the conduct of the mission,
with which he was intrusted, and he was indebted for
his appointment to his talents alone. The French
Government may have thought themselves justified
in destroying spies, but it is not probable that they
would take the life of an accredited Minister who was
only executing his duty to his lawful Sovereign.
We trust therefore that Mr. Bartionsr's return to
his country and family will justify the French froth so
horrid a calumny, and prove these ideas to be correct.
Sunday last, while the bells at the Old Church in
Liverpool were ringing, previous to divine service, a
part of the tower gave way, and fell into the body of
the church, bringing with it the great bell, burying a
considerable number of persons, who were already
assembled, in the ruins. The consternation produced
throughout the town, on learning the catastrophe,
was indescribable. A guard of soldiers was immedi-
ately marched down, to prevent the multitude, that
bad assembled, from impeding the efforts of a consi-
derable number of workmen, who were instantly em-
ployed in clearing away the rubbish. Twenty of the
unhappy sufferers were dug out before the mail left
Liverpool. The bodies remained at that time in the
church yard to be owned. The number of persons
involved in this melancholy accident is unknown, but
it is feared to be considerable. It is remarkable, that
some of the ringers had the good fortune to escape,
notwithstanding the immense quantity of heavy
matter that was falling round them. Many of the
congregation were unfortunately buried in the ruins.
The number has not yet been exactly ascertained, but
nineteen dead bodies have been dug out ; eight were
taken to the Infirmary in a lifeless state, and a num-
ber of others were carried to their homes lacerated,
bruized, and wounded in a shocking manner. This
officiating Clergyman was just entering the door
when the calamity happened.
