Ayres, Sept. 4:—
" The Spanish transpot-t Trinidad has pot into
Ensenada. She brings '2OO man and some officers.—
Sailed from Cadiz `2lst May, with nine other transports
(in all, 2,200 men), for Lima ; separated from them
.51 days since, on the Line; the whole of the troops
very discontented ; and in all probability two or three
other vessels would follow her example, if they found
opportunity. it would appear they left Cults-with
this intention, as the officers bring totters of iutroduc-
lion to sPVPIIIi individuals here.
[EXTRACT 110 M TUE BUENOS AYRES GAZETTE
OF SEPTEMBER '2l
On the 26th of August, arrived at Ensenada, the
Spanish ship Trinidad, which vessel formed part of
au expedition of ten transports, ender convoy of the
Spanish frigate Maria Isabel, of 50 gnus, bound to

Line.
The troops nn board the Trinidad rose upon the
Officers, of whom they killed six and threw them
overboard ; after which they obtained possession of
the ship. It appears that the plot of the insurrection
was laid in Cadiz, previous to their departure, and
baring palled from the convoy in lat. 5. N. and
crossed the line; they struck the blow on the 25th of
July. There were on board the Trinidad 300 soldiers,
exclusive of the ship's crew and officers.
The Buenos Ayres Government has determined to
receive them in a friendly manner.

TIW SUPREME DIRECTOR. OF THE. UNLTE.O PRO-
VINCES Or RIO DE LA PLATA TO HIS COUN-
TRY-MEN.
CITIZENS,—A dangerous man, urged by misery
and despair, had, according to his own confession,
formed a plan directed against me, as the means of
overiurniog the present Administration, and to im-
prove his fortune. lie sought accomplices for effect-
ing his purpose, but he was caught in the nets which
he had spread for others. Surprised on the eve of
Isis senseless attempt, he accused three individuals of
consideration in the country es the authors, and he
had unfortunately the address to give to his accuse-
.lion the appearance of truth. I ordered the arrest of
the accused, because public order and tranquillity
impnsad en me this disagreeable duty. I named a
Member of the most Excellent Chamber to institute a
criminal information conformably to nor laws; and
as, according to my opinion, there exists not the risk
which was thought to threaten public order, I have
ordered the three principal accused to be set at libel ty.
While she respective Magistrates draw up the sen-
tence according to the legal forms of our country, I
heieby declare, that the precautionary measures
which were by necessity adopted against the three
individuals in question, ought not to draw any re-
fection on their honour and good reputation. As
soon as the sentence of the Judges shall sanction the
opinion of their innocence which I have formed, I
promise to give as solemn a satisfaction as their arrest
' may have been public. Citizens, live in quiet.—
Order can but momentarily be disturbed by conspira-
tors ; whoever is not of that description, need not
fear to he confounded with the peaty. The honest
man will always see his innocence shine forth, al-
though all scoundrels may conspire against him.
Countrymen, this security is the fruit of your vir-
tues, for wbicb I owe my acknowledgments to you,
cud rejoice in the glory of our country.

The Council with whom the care of his MaJestw's
person now resides, held a Meeting yesterday-at the
Treasury Chambers, Whitehall, to deliberate on the
measures to be adopted in consequence of the
QUEEN'S detnise.—The care of his MAJESTY
is, by the Act of last Session, vested in the late
QUEEN'S Council, until Parliament shall make due
provision relating thereto; and the REGENT will, it is
understood, forthwith issue 11P-Pilbelatriation, declar-
ing that the case cneutiouertiin the Act of the 51st
year of his MAJESTY'S reign (viz. the demise of the
QUEEN) had happened, and requiring Parliament to
meet and sit at Westminster immediately after, such
Proclamation shall have been pablished, or upon
some day to be mentioned in such Proclamation,
[within 60 days of the date of such Proclamation.—
The cate of the KING'S person will be the primary
consideration on the assembling of Parliament, but
the opportunity will not, we trust, he ommitted, of
enquiring into the expediency of effecting a very con.
iiderible retrenchment in the Windsor Establish•
ment. In the unhappy condition to which the KING
is reduced, nothing more can be desired for him than
so assurance of every convenience and attention that
esti render his unhappy situation as comfortable as
possible. To support the pageantry of State, and
continue the observance of Court etiquette in a place
where every circumstance offers a humiliating instance
of human infirmity, is but a mockery of grandeur,
and seems rather to heap insult opoo the Royal suf-
ferer than to afford consolation to his sorrows.—
Every consideration of justice and propriety should
induce Parliament to terminate an enormous expen-
diture, as unsuited to his MAJESTY'S situation, as in.
consistent with the financial embarrassments of the
country.

An important piece of intelligence has been re.
railed from Buenos Ayres. The expedition which
forms the principal part of the force on which the
Spanish Government meted its hopes et regaining
the dominion of the Independent Previnees, has met
with accelerate the fats thee,
seems& to await ...f/b. *Pert received by the brig,
Nightingale, 'Mega itt Liserpool from Buenos
Ayres, state, that the Trinidad, one of the Spanish
transports which sailed from Cadiz in May lest, bad
entered the River Plate, the soldiers having rim on
their officers, some of whom they killed. 'This per-
fectly confirms what we said, at the time this owe.
dition sailed for Lima, of the dissatisfied state of the
troops. When they put into the Canary Islands,
they were in want of both clothing and provisions,
and in such a situation nothing bet compulsion made
them embark for a voyage round Cape Horn. Every
man was besides aware of the fate that had befallen
the followers of MORILLO, and among them was a
secret determination not to draw their swords in the
vile cause in which the Government, and not the
Spanish People, were engaged. Many had even
provided themselves with letters of recommendation
for persons residing among the Patriots. It is also
stated, that two other vessels of the expedition,
being equally discontented, intended going into
Valparaiso. The Buenos Ares Gazette, of the
2d, in confirming the fact of the mutiny, says,
" It appears that the plot of the insurrection was
laid in Cadiz, previous to their departure, and having
parted from the convoy in let. 5. N. and crossed the
Line, they struck the blow on the 25th of July.—
There were on board the Trinidad 200 soldiers, ex-
clusive of the ship's crew and officers. The Govern-
ment has determitred to receive them in a friendly
manner. The whole expedition consisted of 2080
men, of which 300 were cavalry." Such are the
feelings and sentiments of the soldiery on whom King
FERDINAND has to rely for the defence of Peru.
By the same conveyance we learn, that some
alarm had arisen at Buenos Ayres ; but the particu-
lars are not fully explained. A desperate character,
supposed to be insane, accused three distinguished in-
dividuals of having laid a plan for overturning the
Government, and seizing on the Supreme Director.
They were arrested, but were soon at liberty, having
convinced the Supreme Director of their innocence.
Judicial proceedings had been instituted, in order to
investigate the affair to the bottom, to vindicate the
character of the accused, and a Proclamation, which
we insert in another column, had beets issued by
PULYILREDON, the Governor.
