ANOTHER LETTER, DATED APRIL 10.

" His Majesty's ship Andromache returned on the
6th ultimo from Lima, and I am sorry to add, that
Captain Sheriff has not been able to ,Uccecd in get-
ting the port of Callao open to foreign commerce.
The commercial bodies of Lima have agreed to sup-
ply the Viceroy with what sums he may require for
the support of the army. The Andromache fell in
with Lord Cochianc's squadron within twelve hours
sail of Callao. Commodore Bowles sailed for Lima
on the Bth, and intends making proposals for the
opening the trade."
EXTRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER, DATED APRIL 19.
" The war between Buenos Ayres and Artigas.
joined by the people of Santa Fe, is at last on the
point of termination by treaty with them. The in-
telligence of the r,Lbable arrangement reached us
yeiterday. An armistice between our Governor and
the people of Santa Fe and Artigas is agreed on.
Deputies from each are to meet and arrange a del-
nitive treaty. We most sincerely hope that all dis-
sensions will now cease, and that the communication
will all parts of the country will be restored—an
event which the paralyzation of our trade here for
twelve months past renders so desirable. We do not
think the Portuguese interest here is strong enough
to pievent these arrangen ents; the consequence of
which will very rrobably be a co-operation on the
' part of this Government against the Portuguese,—
' Puerrydon's term of Directorship expires in May: he
' wishes to retire, but it is doubtful whether he will not
be re-elected. Beigrano or Rondeau are talked of
as successors, in case Puerrydon's resignation is ac-
cepted by the Congress.l,
t I EXTRACT FROM ANOTHER LETTER FROM BUENOS
.ANTRES, DATED APRIL 20.

Negociations have been going on for some time
with Santa Fe, and the Province of Entre Rios, un-
der the influence of Artigas ; an armistice has at last
actually been concluded, and is published officially
is the Gazette; the terms are fair, and promise io
lead to a final adjustment of all differences. The
reports of the'grand Expedition fitting out at Cadiz,
have no doubt had their share in disposing all parties
to peace and re-union. It is said that this Govern-
ment mean!' to act as mediator to bring about a truce
between Artigas and the Portuguese; and should this
succeed, the grand Expedition, whenever it may sail,
will be expected with perfect indifference. Two
Frenchmen, emissaries from Carrera and Alvear, at
Monte-Vitico, have been arrested on their way to
Mendoza, and convicted, both by papers fe.md upon
them, and by their own confession, of having con-
spired against this Government and that of Chili ;
they were to have begun their 'operations in the ca-
pital of the latter, and. in case of need, to have assas.
sinated'the Supreme Director, O'Higgins, and General
Pan Martin. They were shot in the-Plaza del Retiro.
'three other Frenchmen who were implicated are or-
dered to be sent out oflhe country."

another part will famish the Reader with a picture
of the present state of affair's on the MG sir la Plata.

By the brig Alexander, which left Um in com-
pany with the ANDROMAGUE and•Btossom ftigates,
and arrived at Rio Janeiro on the 24th April, intelli-
gence from Lima had been received to the 14th of
February. It his beets before stated, that Lord
COCURA.ITE had been met by these vessels, within one
day's sail of Callao. it appears that the Captain of
the Laataro. out of Lord Cocuttauit's squadron,;
hailed the Aunaostacsta, sad desired to know what
vessel she had is company (meaning the Alexander), ;
and to whom the property on board of her belonged,
professing an intention of searching her. Captain;
SHIMMY, declared his tesaksticas of opposing this
proceeding; but, fearing the threat 'wonld be car-
ried into execution, removed the passengers, trea-j
sure, and letters, from on board. in the evening,
the Latium actually boarded and searched the
Alexander, but found nothing worth taking. The,
Officers of the Alexander, on the information of
the crew of the Ulnas°, related that it was the in-
tention of the Chilian squadten to make the attack
oa the harbour of Callao on the evening of the Car-
nival (the 22d.0f February), when it was supposed
the Spaniards would be thrown off their guard by
the festivities usual at that season. This account
nearly tallies, in point of date, with that lately re-
ceived by the Jamaica papers. Both Lima and Callao,
hi the last ad vices received from that quarter, are
1-,,,"-resented in a state of excellent defence. The en-
trance to Callao was strongly protected by batteries,
behind which was stationed the naval force, consist-
ing cf about 40 vessels of war of different descrip-
tions; in the rear of these, fur the more effectual se-
curity, were placed the merchant-vessels. In Lima
itselt a considerable military force was collected,
amounting, by some accounts, to nearly 8,000 men ;
and PEzust.A had formed a plan to arm the slaves,
in order to repel the threatened expedition from Chili ;
but the inhabitants were alarmed at a measure which
they considered desperate, as the slave population is
large in the vallies of Lima.

Yesterday the Duke of YORK and Prince LEOPOLD
visited the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton-House.
Tuesday PRINCE Leorote gave a grand dinner to
the Duke and Duchess of Yostx, at Marlborough
House. Among The distinguished characters present
to meet their Royal Highnesses were—the Duke and
Duchess of BEAUFORT, the Duke and Duchess de
SAN CARLOS, Earls Of HARDWICKE, MULGRAVE,
MOUNT EDOCUMB, SCARBOROUGH', andHARROWISY—
Countesses MULGRAVE, HARROWBV—Viscount PAL-
MERBTON, Lord and Lady GRANTHAM.
The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE left Meinin-
gen ,on the Mix ultimo, and are now established at
the Batts of Liebenstein, where it is said her Royal
Highness will remain to enjoy the tepid bath for
month or two.

The greatest satisfaction was experienced last night
by a numerous and fashionable audience from Dr.
TitottsToN's Lecture on the Human System and Ex-
hibition of the wonderful effects of the Nitrous Oxyd,
or Laughter and DAncing exciting Gas. The Room
was so crowded, that numbers went away unable to
obtain admission.

Yesterday a ballot was taken at the East India
House for the election of a Director in the room of
liAmurt DAvis, Esq. deceased. At sir o'clock the
glasses were closed and delivered to the scrutineers,
who reported the election to have fallen on JOHN
GOLDSBOROUGH RAVENSHAW, Esq.
In addition to the lamentable statements respecting
the poor inhabitants of Sutherlandshire having their
dwellings burnt in order to compel their emigration'
from the land of their forefathers (to which they are
Enthusiastically attached), it is asserted, but we hope
without truth. that certain persons, pretending to be
employed by the Marquis of STAFFORD, have threat-
ei:en the neighbouring Farmers, that if they shall
give any shelter to these poor outcasts, they will be
oeprived of their Iduses.—We give this statement as
iL kas leached its, order that the pqrsor.s concerned
nay contradict thesk reports, as we cannot believe
the Nobleman alluded to could for cue moment
sanction such proceedings.

BA I,NSLET tit 071;71t.ETINV, JULY 12.
:-According to previous notice, a Public Reform
Meeting% %vat held here, this evening, on May-day-
Green. The number of persons assembled was va-
riously estimated at from his to eight thousand—a
number by no means so great as might have beenex-
pected, when it is known that Barnsley, and all the
adjacent places are thickly inhabited, chiefly by linen
weavers, vast numbers of whom are; at the present
time, destitute of employment. '
. .

Mr. THOMAS FERRYMAN was called to the Chair
(placed in a cart) ; and he opened the Meeting by
reading the Requisition for calling the same. He af•
towards briefly addressed the assembly, by assuring
them that he had been a staunch Reformer for these
20 years past, and should always continue so. He
proceeded—" It is lamentable that our nation, once
the pi aise of the world—once as the Ark of Noah,
and as the Garden of Eden, with laws that would
snake men happy; and these laws now trampled un-
der the feet of 'mankind, and half the nation on the
borders of starvation. How often has England been

,compared to the Garden of Eden—and what is it
now ? it is covered over with taxes, with Ministerial
rcorritpiim and with every thing that tends to mike
• 9

ntsMitind miserable. Taxation i:

and CoMinerce: are nearly ruined, and the majority
of the Foreign Powers will not barter with
(Addressing some respectable-looking persons who
stood near,)—" You,' Gentlemen, Will very shortly
become like us. I well remember it is said HI Pro-
vechs--.. The turning away of the people shall slay
them--the turning away of fools shall destroy them.:.
And now are our Rulers like the false Prophet Ba,
laarn, when on his journey he smote the dumb ass, and
the ass spoke again ! We have been the dumb as;—
we hare made no resistance till we could bear no

longer. Debt and starvation are so accumulated, we
can no longer support them. Then,, come forward—
unite with us in calling aloud for Constitutional Li-
holy, against the Boroughmongering System, and
the profligacy of Ministers !" He concluded by ex-
honing the assemblage to conduct themselves peace-
ably and orderly.
Mr. RICHARD JACKSON. then came forward, and
read the Resolutions (six in number), whicb'were in
substance—" that the principles of Nature never au-
thorised one man to make laws for another without
his consent; that whatever authority my man pos-
sesses, is solely derived from the People—conse-
quently, if any Government cease to answer the pur-
pose for which it was appointed, the People have a
right to call their Governors to account ; that the
distress which we now suffer, has originated in a base
and profligate expenditure of the public money, which
has brought taxation to such an extent as to have
nearly destroyed op: Manufactures and Commerce,
and precipitated the country from the pinnacle of
prosperity to the verge or ruin ;—that the men who
compose the present Parliament, by their conduct in
supporting a system of profligate extravagance, and
the imposition of new taxes, have shewn that they do
not represent the people—they have basely betrayed
the interests of the nation, and shewn to the world
that they are unworthy of confidence ! ! !—That
the eternal principles of justice entitle every man
of mature age, who is not disqualified by crime or
mental derangement, to an equal vote in choosing
the national Representatives. Lastly, in order to
guard against the abuse of Power, it is necessary that
the people should elect their Representatives an-
nually."

After the Resolutions had been put, and unani-
mously carried, Mr. BRAYSH A W (a Schoolmaster, of
Yeadon, and Teacher among the Sect denominated
Free-thinking Christians) addressed the Meeting from
a written paper, which, when copied, occupied fifteen',
post-folios. He went over the old topics urged at

Hunsler, Moor, and exhorted the people to meet once
a week, for the purpose of storing their rinds with
useful.knowledge on the subject of Reform, by which
means they would become champions in the cause
of freedom, and superior to the craft of spies and
informers ; and be enabled to speak in a voice which
should make even tyranny itself to tremble !—(Here
Mr. Brayshaw made some gross attacks on the con-
ductors of the Public Press).—The following passage
in this person's speech, must be considered highly
reprehensible : He had been denominated a Preacher
among the Free-thinkers—A, I will here add, that I
am neither Priest nor Preacher ; and I will farther
add, that I never can be one, so long as I continue
to believe in Christianity ! But do not mistake me ;
Ido not wish you to be without religion. lam sa-
tisfied that true religion is One of the greatest bles-
sings conferred on man. I am a firm believer in
Christianity ! Jesus, the founder of our system, was
one of the greatest Reformers that ever appeared on
earth! He died a martyr to the glorious ;awe, and
lam not ashamed to follow his example H r...-At the
conclusion of his speech, Brayshaw read an Appeal
to the People, in which he exhorted them 14 come
boldly forward to lend their assistance to cleanse
away the filth of corruption, and restore the treedasi.
of their native land.
Mr. WrLtAar, Printer, of Dewsbury, (who was

mainly instrumental in unmasking the notnrioni]
Oliver) next came forward, and addressed the M 44.
ing at considerable length, but in more, gentlepuntly'
and proper language than the preceding speaker.
After several other speakers had briefly delivered

their sentiments, the Meeting broke up, and the mul-
titude dispersed to their respective homes.
At the close of the proceedings, though every thing
went on peaceably before, ar. attempt was made by
' some scoundrels in the garb of gentlemen, to induce
the people to commit acts of violence ; but the good
sense of the populace happily frustrated their base
attempt, and they separated peaceably without any
accident occurring.

LEEDS, JULY as.
A Reform Meeting was held yesterday evening at
Barnsley (16 miles from this place), which was at
tended by many persons from this district. There
were various speakers, and some of them for a great
length of time, and several Resolutions quite of the
Ultra descriptioa, were passed by the Meeting.
You have already been informed that another Pub-
lic Meeting has been resolved on to be held at the
old spot, Hunslet Moor, on Monday next. Large
Bills have been posted in this town and throughout
the neighbourhood, entitled " LEEDS PUBLIC
MEETING," announcing the object of the Meeting
to be "for the purpose of taking into consideration
the distressed state of our Country, and of making a
solemn APPEAL to the people of Great Britain,
praying them to join in forming A NATIONAL
LNION to obtain our constitutional rights ; also to
;Islopt.such measures as will give speedy relief to our
starving countrymen." The Posting Bill has seven-
teen names, attached to it. I need hardly add that
such proceedings, of the possible result of which it is
impossible. to make any correct estimate, excite no
small degree of alarm and apprehension in the minds
of considerate men.

We have every reason to believe that a system of
"concert and co-operation has already been organized
throughout a great pin of the Kingdom ; for we
istave learnt, that as soon as the lltinslet Moor Meet-
ing shall have finished its business on Monday, the
Delegates, and principal Leaders among the Re-
formers.hete, twill set off by the Mail and other con-
veyances fot London, to attend the Meeting in Smith-
field on Wednesday, the 21st inst.
