FROM CHILLI.

Capt. Reynolds, of the Fame, from Co.
ouimbo, has furnished US with the follow
ing intelligence
The Royal Army under the Vice King.
Luscona. was still encamped about 80
leagues from Lima. The Peruvian squad
ron and expedition under Admiral Blancoo.
which sailed against the Province OF Arri'
ca, had been ordered back TO Callao. San
Martin resigned the protectorsbip, and The
Marquis Orataglo, of Truxillo, was ap..
poinied in his stead, under the title OF
"Supreme Director of Peru" The new
government issued D90O, 600 in paper mo-
new. obiging every citizen TO take 1t at ITS
represented value. Dollars were getting
very scarce, and the premium constantly
rising English manufactures were sell
ling at loss of from rs to 80 per cent.
silks were very abundant, and no sale.
In fact, almost every article was on the de-
cline, and sales difficult.
The Fame sailed from Coquimbo on the
10Th of March, and Capt. Reynolds IN
forms US that be had not heard OF the loss
of one of the F.anklin's boats. The ac-
count may, however, be correct, as the yes
sci which brought the report to Montev'-
dec must have sailed from Valparaiso the
latter end of March. We were in error
Yesterday in stating that there was no OIL
Ger in the Franklin named Pnkham, as
there was a midshipman on board OF that
name.
Capt Reynolds also informs, that Bene-
bada, whose cruelty to Americans IS SO
well known, had been taken and shot

TRIAL OF NED.

The public are already apprised of the
apprehension ofthis vile offender, for the
crime Of rape, committed on the person
of Mrs. Riggs. esterday, at the County
Court of Norfolk, his trial came on.
The principal evidence against him was
furnished by Mrs R. The simple, sensible,
and affecting manner in which her testi-
mony was detailed. produced but one i'm
preston on the which
was, that it was true, every word of it.
Although compelled TO relate all the Cir
cumstances of this most shocking affair;
although her modesty and decen, deport-
ment reyolted so much at this necessary
recital, vet it presented a plain, unvarn-
ished tale of outrage and brutality, which,
tor the honor of human nature, has seldom
been equalled. but surely never, excelled,
IN the annals Of any civilized country.
Notwithstanding several weeks had elaps>
ed since the preparation OF the act, yet
the bare recollection of il seemed 10 put
her into so much agitation, that she trem.

Never did simple narration OF facts pro
duce more evident marks Of sympathy a
mong those who heard it.
The prisoner was defended by general
TAYLOR, who did himself much credit, by
the open, candid, and manly method a
dopted throughout the defence and we
may truly assert, that if eIoquence and le-
gal ability could have saved the prisoner,
he would not have been convicted. We
have never known so much delicacy dis
played in court OF justice before, when
a charge of this kind was upon the tapis
but this must be attributed to the univer-
sal respect, which the appearance and lam

4TH OF JULY.

Il Is worthy of observation, that from all
parts of she Union, we hear the note OF prepar-
alton sounded for the celebration OF the ap-
preaching anniversary. But in this City, SO
often honored with the presence of the Father
of his Country, whisper of patriotism Is
scarcely breathedupon the occasion. Matters
are so procrastinated that the morning almost
,dawns, before we know of any arrangement,
and even then it is announced with SO much
brevity as to be hardly understood.
1t has been customary for the Washington
Society to perform some exercises on that day,
70 walk in procession and hear an Grafton de-
ivered by one of its members. But since the
Iamented decease of their former jealous and
patriotic Secretary, an insipid and lifeless sort
of management seems to be regarded, in prefer
ence to animation, order and regularity. There
seems now to be want OF order and ar
rangement in the procession. Some gentle
man ought to be appointed for the purpose OF
narshalling and giving to It, that air ofsystem
and regulation which once distinSuis he'd IT.
AS our civil authorities take no interest in
this public festival, it should be the peculiar
ambition ofthis Society, to render this anniver-
sary scene worthy of the glorious epoch OF
s76. Let then our citizens, in spite of stiff and
rnusty maxims. which are opposed to all cele-
brations in spite of dull times and hot weather,
honor the day as citizens and as soldiers. lt IS
of much importance. We should establish
well settled principles in the minds fthe rising
generation, principles which viii teach them
ever to regard their country as the ''immediate
Jubilee of their SOULS Let US celebrate this
day in manner honorable to the memory OF
the heroes and patriots of the Revolution; i'm
mortal for their virtues, illustriouS for their
glorious actions, and magnanimous examples
for centuries to come. Let the Artillery pro-
claim to the heavens. and the heavens re-echo
TO the earth, the approach OF that morning
which ushered in the birth of American Inde'
pendence-When Liberty leaped from her sa-
cred retreat into the lap of heaven-born Column

Statesmen and warriors who planned and at
chieyed this mighty deed. May the recollec-
ton of their virtues inspire Americans with
every desireto perpetnate their fame, and to
hand down to posterity thoseinestimabe rights,
which they have derived from gallant ances-
try. Let this day full of glory be spent in har-
mony, rejoicings, and brotherly feelings. On
this day, let-us all act as band of brothers,
having acquired our liberty, happiness and In.
dependence from the same source. Let civil
and military donors be iavished in its enjoy

FROM MEXICO.
Ph;IddeIphia, June l:

Philadelphia, June l9.
Yesterday arrived at this port; the
schooner HiIander. Capt. Gibson. from
the port of Alvardo, from which place
she sailed on the 2Sth May and brings
official intelligence from the city of
Mexico, to the 25th Of tho same month
--on which day the Mexican Congress
assembled in that city and declared Don
Ytur6ide chief Of that government,
zDith the title Of Emperor. We have
received copy of the proclamation is-
sued on the occasion published at Mex
leo.
1t appears by tho adyices through
this channel, that, on the receipt of the
intelligence from Spain, by the Cow
ernor Of the castle of St. Juan d'Ulloa
at Vera Cruz, that the treaty entered
into by the Vicery O'Donobu with gen.
Yturbide, at Cordova. having been de-
clared null and void, that the Congress
of Mexico resolved that every prospect
of amicable accommodation being at an
end, determined to proclaim total sep
aration and independence of Spain,
and the extinction of every title TO al
legiance to the royal authority of Spain;
and to select chief of their own coun-
try, and Iturb;de was nominated.
The royal general Davilla, at st Ju-
an d.Ulloa, had, prior to this act: de-
clared war against the indepe ndents,
and had issued orders to all the Euro
peans, particularly the troops that had
capitulated, to take up arms in support
of the royal authority. In several of
the provinces these orders were obeyed,
and some partial instructions followed
but in every instance the independents
triumphec, and generaltranqu;lity was
established.
Col. Bradburn, in the service of Mex
leo. who is the bearer of dispatches,
brings official information, that minis
ter would shortly leave Mexico for the
United States, and in case of any delay
that Col. Cortes, now in this city.
would be invested with full powers.
Information of the Presidents Mes.
sage to Congress, recommending the
acknowledgement Of the independence of
Spanish America, had been received on
Mexico on the first of May, by Col.
Bradbuan, who carried important dis.
patches from Col. Cortes. The news
was received with extraordinary rejoi-
cings, Examinations, and salvos of ar
tillery were ordered throughout the ci-
tidals and cities of Mexico.
By these advices we learn that bishop

ned in St. Juan d'Ulloa, had been re-

FROM MATANZAS.

Capt Fosdick informs, that on the 18th
of May, an English brig arrived there from
Turks Island, which was fallen in with, on
Kew Sal Bank by two piratical schooners;
and robbed of three men, the captain and
mate hung by the neck, and the former so
much cut and bruised, that he was not on
" unable to leave his bed, but it was
doubtful whether he would recover.
