LONDON. The following statement respecting "Riego is from (lie Courier. The particu- lars of his capture are said to be given by an eye. witness 6c After having been completely de- feated by the French, Riego wandered in the ffl°tt0ta'ns' about twenty follow- ers on horseback, fifteen of whom were superior officers. Exhausted with fatigue and h"«ger> he met the Hermit of La Torre de Pedrogil, and an inhabitant of Yilches, named Lopez Lara. He took them aside,;and said^—My friends, you have (IOWan opportunity of making your Z5 own and fa,mllles' fortunes; you have only to COllauet me unobserved by any one whatever, to Carolina, Carboneras, r and NavaS e *_°losa, where 1 have good friends, vv 10 procure me. a guide to Estrerna/urf,' anther J a5n desirous of p,oceefli»g' lhe hermit and his com- panic0 ie l,M ( ls °ffers but Ri^gn caus- ed the01 to and mounted upon two mules, deeJaflllg to them at the same time, l'ia W >et willing or not they should se.rVftafS f,0?68 to the troop. <( u'g j1 t ley proceeded onward. liieg0 SP°ve 0 companions of his jourr,ey r0n!

Rieg0 Said that th woalddem.anj 11 asyll,m there; on which Lara k°° a*" door, and it so hap- pened t',at was one of his own brothers, lJamed Mateo, who came and opened it. a ilieao, feiritig that too numerous an escort 'would betray him, would only per- mit three of his faithful followers to enter With hi M. One of these was an English Colo lie'' who, impressed with mistrust, hastily closed the door, locked it, and pocketed the key. They fed their horses I and reposed themselves in the stable with their drawn swords by their sides. Riego, on awaking, peremptorily said to Lopez Lara that he must get his horse shod.— 44 Well," replied the latter, who felt all the importance of the occasion," I will go and g-et it done at ArguiUos." Riego refused, and expressed a desire that his brother Mateo should undertake the com- mission, not by leading the horse to Ar- guiilos, but by fetching a farrier. Lopez had only time to whispvr his brother, This man is Riego, give information to the Magistrates, and say that we are pre- pared to do our duty." Possessed of the same intelligence as his brother, Mateo agreed upon the way in which he would act, and he promised so to manage that Riego should be at breakfast when the armed force should surround the house. 44 Riego, in fact, sat down to break- fast immediately on learning fr.om Mateo that the farrier was coming forthwith but the Englishman, constantly impressed with his fears, did not quit the window, from which, with a telescope, he kept a look-out all round. Suddenly he ex- claimed, Commandant, we are lost In- here are armed persons advancing." i( Arm!" cried Riego; but that in- stant Lopez and Mateo seized the car. bines, and cocked and levelled them at the traitors, saying, first who moves is a dead man They had al- ready grasped their swords but there solution of Riego all at once forsook him. He let them tie his hands behind his back. He even said politely to Lopez, calling him (vuestra merced,) H Have the good- ness to tell the meii who are coming not to hurt us, since we are your prisoners. "I The Alcade entered, followed by an anned force. Riego supplicated him in a simiiiii, manner not to do him any harm, arid, as a pledge, to embrace him.

The news from Europe, and more particularly that from the Spanish Peninsula, fills most of the columrts, of the Diario de Governo.- It would appear that the invasion of Spain was considered a subject of paramount importance in Brazil; but the counter- revolution in Portugal, accounts of which had arrived at Rio de Janeiro, was cal- culated to excite a still more intense in- terest. Odessa, Sept. 3.—We have accounts from Constantinople to the 36th of Aug. which state, that the negociations relative to the differences with our Court are on the point of leading to a decision so that it is thought possible that the desired result may be produced while the Empe- ror is in Bessarabia. Lord Strangford having received fresh instructions, pre- sented, on the Ilth of August, an ener getic note, caused by an expression of the Reis Effendi to M. Chabert, the Drago- man of the English Embassy—that he would hear no more of the affairs of Rus- sia. In this note, the noble Lord said, that it would seem there were in the Divan, partisans of the insurgents, who were charged with the direction of the affairs of Greece, but who had conducted them to the detriment of the Porte. The ob. stadeswhich they have thrown in the way of the trade of Russia in the Black Sea seemed calculated to irritate Russia that the Allied Courts Were obliged to Confess that the honour of that power prescribed othpr measures; that they had till now endeavoured to prevent them, but could do so no longer that the Di- van had. no more, time to lose, and ought to come to a resolution. The Ministers of Austria and Prussia presented similar notes, which seem to have produced their effect, since, on the 16th, the Sultan dismissed Drohonib Ef- fendi, who. was at the head of the fanati- cal party in the Divan A Hamburgh Mail arrived this morn- ing from, which we extract the fol- lowing:- Viéilrza, Sept. *2: — The accounts from the island of Ctndi'a it,e' a' a in favotira I) I to the Greeks; who have, it is said 3-4,00.0 men in arms there, without reckoning Sphackiotes, who form guerillas. The principal fortresses of the island are again strictly blockaded by the Greeks. The complaints of the general stagna- tion of the, trade with the Levant continue to increase. Some of the rich Greek houssin Italy have contributed large sums towards the expense of fitting out the fleet, and to stop the murmurs of the sailors, who were dissatisfied by their pay being so much in arrear, so that it may be expected that the fleet will act with more vigour than ever. Berlin, Sept. 20,-The necessary ar- rangements are already making in the Hotel of the States, in the Spandau-street, for the assembly of the States of Bran- denburgh and Lower Lusatia; from which it is supposed they will be assembled this autumn. However, the ordinance re- specting the mode of election, &c must be first issued, and an office must be es- tablished in the Home Department, un- der which all the affairs relative to the States will be placed for the preparation of all such affairs. We then expect Or. dinances for the organization of the States of Silesia and those of the western provinces, which last will certainly differ from the others, on account of the differ- ent legislative and local relations; but the principle of the division into the equestrian order, citizens and peasants (or landholders) will be retained. From, South America,.r—k. change, bordering on a revolution, had lately taken place in the Peruvian Government, as the late Government had entirely been su- perseded by the new, Long has the blood of the patriots of this most interesting portion of the South been wantonly shed, since the commencement of San Martin's administration down to the present time, through the perfidious cabals and intrigues of a set of Buenos Ayreans who have held the reins of Government over these un- happy people. Fortunately they have now applied a remedy to the evils which they before experienced in the sacrifice of the armies in detail, in the insulting explosion of their allies, the Colombians, from their aid, and in beholding the keys of the gates of Lima, the last dependence of the Peruvians with her exhausted trea- sures, and her inhabitants in the utmost consternation at the approach of a mer- ciless enemy, in the hands of infamous traitors and rascally priests.

VAN DISMAYS LAND. I ARRIVED heie ou ihe 20(h Dec last, after a most tempestuous passage, from the Cape of Good Hope, aod being at length settled shall pro- ceed to give you a brief account of this fine country. Aware that only IS or 19 years had elapsed since the fotiii,latiott )f (his settlement, nt)lii;ng could eqtia! my ast(iiiistiaietit upon landing, to perceive the progress made in buihiing and in cultivation—and immediately detetmnied settling here, if should procure a grant of land equal to my axpectaiions, and to the promises made me before my departure from England. After a three months survey of the island, my own observations heilJ assisted hy the experience of a gentleman who hits reldell here for nearly ten years, I applied for and obtained a grant or 1000 anrps nf lan.L imul Itl.Q.ir"1 ciin-jtoH !I hn<l. "J "'L-U&.4,L-U, g"IU'" 30 miles distant from Launceston. In ten >earg I am informed it will he worih to me ^5000 and I propose setting out to-morrow to lake posses- sion. You will be surprised when I 'ell yo,.t that I arrived here in the finest part of the summer seuon- an assertion at which you will be fit. clined to smile, when you recollect it was to- wards the latter end of December; surh. Ilow- ever, is the faci-that sea.,oty corresponding ex- actly with your beautiful month of June. On Christmas day I dined at the house of our friend M The dinner Has excellent amongst the vegetables served were new potatoes and green peas, a circumstance thai speaks vo- lumes in corroboration of my assertion. Yon hate heard much of the beauty of this country and the mildness of itsclimate, but nothing equal to the reality it is in fact the finest ever yet dis- covered, and is particularly agreeable to an English constitution. I have told you that the progress already made in husbandry is great, and fortunately the prices of produce keep pace with its increasing amount. The same observation applies to live stock. The horned cattle of Ihis country are not good they are a cross of the Bengal breed. In con- sequence o f the want of pasture-land io the vi- cinity of this town, butter and milk are extremely dear—butter five shillings the pound; milk, a shilling per quart. Another circumstance pro- bably contributes to keep up those high prices— the quantity of milk yielded by the-cows is very- small, but exceedingly rich in qualify. Beef is 7d. per pound mutiou 6d. The ewes here lamb twice a year at four months a Iamb will weigh thirty pounds, and for them there is always a ready market, thus affording a quick return to any person disposed to deal in that description of stock, which I have no hesitation iu saying it tbe best thaI call be selected, I have alluded to the interior quality of the horned cattle. A ^outh D&vou bull calf would be worth an immense sum of money here. Oxen for draft being from £ 25 to £35 a-piece. Good horses would be invaluable. The Captain of the ship in which I came brought out a Suffolfc Stallion and mare, for which, 00 landing, he was offered 600 guineas, but he would not take less than £ 1,000, and I believe he obtained that large price for them. The farmers speak in lapiures of the soil. The species of corn principally growo here are wheat and barley. Oafs has proved so uncer- tain crop. and is not, therefore, generally sown. The average produce of wheat per acre is forty bushels, and sells readily at ten shillings the bushel. It is with wheat the greater part of the cattle are fattened. I conversed yesterday with a farmer, who assured elbat he had grown wheat on the same land for eight successive years, without having bestowed upon it a single ounce of manure in short, he candidly confessed that that crop pays better than any other. The plains in the interior of the island are ad. 'mirably adapted for grazing. Some of them may be found extending to 1,000 acres, well watered, but without a single tree. The quality of the grass is, however, extremely indiffeient indeed the greatest want felt here is good arti- ficial grasses. The winters are short, and not severe nevertheless, a sufficient quantity of hay cannot he saved for the consumption of the cattle at that season the cows, consequently go back" in the winter; an evil that cannot be remedied until a sutticient supply of hay can be produced, grown from English grass seeds. The pigs here are very flue, but, as yet, are not numerous, and are consequently, dear. All the small fruits of England produced in this island are very fine, and most abundant, particu- larly gooseberrres, currants, raspberries, and straw-berries. The apple tree thrives apace, but the cherries, although in great profusioo, are deficient in flavour. This is owing to their having been grafted in this country upon bad stocks. Tea & sugar, wine and rum, are tolerably cheap, but every article of clothing is extrava- gantly dear. All descriptions of haberdashery are at a most exorbitant price. A good four- roomed house can be had in this town tor thirty shillings per week. Fish and game are fine and abundant. Having thus informed you of what can be had here, and at what prices, allow me to suggest, for the information of future emigrants, a few ilems with wbich they shollldprovide themselves before leaving Englaii(I-viz. a geueral assort- ment of grass and garden seeds, (nut trees (par- titularly cherry) already grafted-, if unable to bring live stock (I meall shcrp or horned cattle,) a brace of Euglish spaniels or pointers would be invaluable, game, as I have already said, being most abundant, pariicularly snipe and quail j even should the importer not be himself a sports- man, a brace of good dogs would bring an ill. demnifying price, upon their heitig landed. Ila should also be provided Wllh sOllie good agri- cultural implements but above all, a large slock of clothing. \Vllh Ihc!ie IInd a modnate capilal (say £ 500 or ? £ I000) the Settler may calculate upon attaining, in a very lew years, affluence and independence.
