gentleman in this town, dated Cartbageit; April It.
1821 :

" At present oar city offers few adrantiglei td mer-
cantile speculation, the whole of the interior Is In a
' perfect state of anarchy and confusion, this has caused
a stop to all business, every hour produces tome nee•
event to blast the hopes of an accommodation between
the contending parties. War is again unfoldihg her
sable wing, anti threatening the country with a renew-
al of those miseries she has had so short a respite
from. The Commander-in-Chief of the Spanish
forces in Veneruela has already signified to the Repub-
licans his intention to commence hostilities on the
Itlith inst.; and this morning the Republicln Chief of
this department has communicated to the Governor of
this city the same Resolution on his part ; we have.
therefore but sixteen days left us to prepare. Large
reinforcements have already arrived in Cuba for the
defence of this city, and followin, tip the war. The
Republicans ere in considerable strength in this and
the adjoining provinces ; you must know whether
Spain can send any considerable force to the support
of the Colonies or not. I fear, however, iu the mean-
time the country will be desolated, and of course com-
merce completely ruined. I hail nattered myself that
the sword of civil war was sheathed not again to be
drawn, and that the mutual wish of the contending
parties was an accommodation beneficial to both, but
I fear it is now impossible, and that tranquillity will
nut again be restored until one party or the utter
falls."

EXTRACT 01 A LETTER FRull A X.iltVE u 1 LivEnrooL

TO A FRIEND E.

"Quito. January 31. IS2I.
" INAS SlR—Tour favour of the 10th January. per
Cyclops, was received Eith October, and I am sorry hy
its contents, to observe the deplorable state of England
generally, mhich is confirmed by every letter 1 receive:
I must, therefore, lay myself out to make me residence
here permanent, and as comfortable as possilde.
although not that Eden which you picture to yonrselves
in England, (I suppose from the mis-statements of Mo-
lina) is yet a country where a man, with good society
and his friends about him, might hr happy enough :
but still you cannot draw a comparison betocen it and
England; and no man, however long he may have
resided in this country, would hesitate in his choice be-
tween the two, it indolence, which the climate has a
great tendency to create, did not incapacitate him from
winding up his affairs, anti making the necessary ccer-
tions to return to Isis native country. I am concerned
that it is not in my power to give you the late 'political
news of this eoontry. Lord Cochrane, von will learn.
has not disappointed the expectations formed of him
by his admirers in England. Ilk late brilliant
achievement in cutting. out the frigate Esmeralda trout
under the batteries of Callao, mounting upwards of
3co pieces of cannon. by the boate of his squadro:‘, has
raised his character higher, if possible, in the opinion
of the people here. I was in Callao about nine week*
ago, and hail a personal icterview with his Lordship,,
who was then blockading the port, to request him to
allow me to go in and tommuoleate with the British
frigate, which he very politely granted. This was a
fete days after he had cot out the Spanish frigate, and
his Lordship was ratlwr lame, front a wound he re-
rived in hoarding, a musket shot having, "sassed
through the fleshy part of his thigh ; however, he was
toickly recovering and in the highest spiel's. Se-
veral instances of the coolness and bravery he mani-
fested on this occasion are mention A, which I ant surr:.•
1 have not time or rvutii to r..peat.-

Yesterday the Lord Chancellor had an •ndienre of
his 31ajesty At his Palace in P.rll•rnall.
The \largness of Londonderry is much rerovered
from his attack of the cont. The noble \liminess re-
ceived visits 011 Saturday front the fluke of Wellin,T•
ton, the Earl of Westmorland, Anti several others of
the Cabinet Ilinisters.

Annul the departures by tbe picket from BriLTlstota
to Dieppe Isst week were Janize Best And
Mr. Mails has left town for Dublin, to give the ne-
cessarr directions fur his Majesty's reception. 3lr.
Mails will return in a few days.

THE lirec..t Vlsrr ru Inri. Nn.—Upon thi. •nhjeet
gar Tirr PHlplin .11orming Pu,t, we are favoured with
the following very interesting extract of a letter front
Birmingham, datei the 9th instant :

Government have sent information to an eminent
manufacturer of medals here, that a certain number of
medals of Irish gold will be wanted to cotione 1111 l rate
the event of the King's arrival in Ireland. They are
to be distibuted on his landing. The dies are to be
sent from the Mint, and the box of Irish gold has ar-
rived, but orders are given not to open it until a
Commissioner comes, who is to stand by while it is
melted and struck, to prevent the possibility of the
mixture or substitution of foreign gold.
The departure of his Majesty for Ireland, after the
coronation, is, it is now reported, fixed for the lit of
Augnst- As soon as his Majesty s stay in I hiblin has ex•
pired, it is said that the royal yachts will sail for the Frith
of Clyde, where, in the neighbonrhood of Dumbarton
Castle, his Majesty will land, and proceed to the man-
sion of the Duke of Montrose. From thence he will
cross the country to Dunkeld, the residenceof the Duke
of Athol, and return by Stirling to Edinlanrwli. The
yachts will pass through the Caledonian canal, and an-
chor off Leith, to receive the King on hoard, either for'
Hanover or the British metropolis. It is said that there
will certainly he an installation of the Knights of the
Thistle whenever his Majesty readies Edinburgh : and
that previous to the coronation, his Majesty, as was the
custom with the Kings of Scotland, will he publicly in-
vested with the ensign of this ancient order. Promo-
tions in the army and nary are to take place in conse-
gnence of the coronation. It is said that the °Seers on
the top of all the lists are to be selected in the same
manner as was done at the jubilee. This promotion, it
is reported, will be down to Major• General Sir William
Cockburn, Bart. to the rank of Lietitesant-Oenerals:
and down to Colonel Jasper :Nicholls, to the rank of
Major-Generals.
The Ribbon of the intended new Royal Order of the
•• Antient Knizhts of Cambria, is to be of leek green
with white edges, anal in the centre of t►e Star the
Welsh Harp, richly enamelled. Dr. Burgess, doe lii-
shop of St. David'!, is mentioned as die Prelate of
the Order.
Several beautiful Hanoverian karma hp" arrived at
the King's Mews from the Continent. They are in-
' tended to be used in some of the State eqaipagosat the
Coronation.

from Upper Peru, with the assi.tanre of whirls rein-
for.euien' it was hoped that San NI :rein would be
compelled to re-ernhark, as kis army hail made itself
detested by the excesses whi •!4 i: committed, and com-

and that the Spanish army, ex:posed of 10,000 men,
was partly in the city and partly at Chanray, 1 I leaKnes

amination, however, has taken place before 4 Coats.
niittee appointel to inquire into the operation of tbe
Usury Laws, and it is very remarkable that all the
persons examinctl, tvliether legal or comturrial, are,
of opinion that the La►es, 34 they r tiff al pre
only tend to preserve the high rate of interest, and
that the openinz of the market would have the effect
of an almost immediate reduction.
