The numbers will be about 42 and 32, but this difference will easily be accounted for, when I the circumstances of the contest are explained. Dispatches from the Government of Venzuela, in Carraecas, have been received, adverting in the most , favourable terms ta the progress of the Revolution, ' and to the complete establishment of the Legislative, Judicial and executive authorities. It is mentioned, that the union of the several provinces became daily snore intimate, and that a perfectly good underitand ing prevailed with the viceroyalty of Santa - F6, where the example of Caraccas had been imitated as to the form of its Government, including all its dependent districts, and with them the territory of Popayan.— This latter at first opposed the new system from the influence of the Spaniards, who, in the sequel, were obliged to seek safety in flight.- Letters have been received in town from our army in Po algal, but not of a later date than those brought my the last Mail Ti:ey were brought by one of the returned transports which have Arrived at Plymouth, and state, that there was a great increase in the list of sick, in consequence of die i.ifluence of the weather, and the fatigues of the campaign ; but the allies were reported as being far superior ;ti respect both of eealth and supulies to the enemy. Lord WELLINGTON. it is said, ha; written for reinforcements, which, we under stand out not be limited to the replacing of the loss which has been sustained by our army, but will form a great augmentation to its original strength. Some letters received from Cadiz within these few days, sail allude to the prevalence of a factious, or rather treasonable spirit, within the walls: They also state, that King JOSEPH has no regal authority what ever. He is completely under the controul of the Generals who command the French armies in Spain. The contributions are levied throughout the country with unrelenting 'severity, and the Irequent applica tion; of JOSEPH to alleviate the eppression have been treated with neglect, if not with insult. Through the same channel we learn that the quar tets between NAPOLEON and his unfortunate brother were accompanied with so much acrimony on the one hand, and importunity on the other, that at last the for mer insisted that Spain should never be mentioned to him. JOSEPH, it is said, broadly proposed that the French armies should be withdrawn to the north of the Ebro, and that from thence the Emperor should ceat with the Regency of Cadiz as to the future des tely of the kingdom. From Malaga we learn that the privateer Sebes tiani carried into that port the ship St. Joachim, b. , und to Cadiz, with a Fargo of wheat; and the pri• vateer Napoleon had rent into the same harbour twc. a , :.litional prizes, both also destined N I Cadiz; the laden with wine, brandy, and pepper, the other w.•h Li the late alums, s rdered to be made by Govern- Ire it. it appears, that Edinburgh, with its port of Leith, coiltans 105,000 inhabitants, being an increase from i..t: late Census (1801) of 19,000 souls.

In consequence of a variety of erroneous reports relative to a meeting which lately took place between Lord KILIVORTH and Mr. WIILLESLEY POLE, Lord KILWORTH thought it right to publish the statement of the transaction, which appeared in the STAR of the 14th, according to his Lordship's view of the subject. Mr. Pout having a different impression of what had taken place, felt himself bound to make the state ment which appeared in this Paper on the following day. Lord Kit.wonrn, Anding that the matter had not been understood, felt himself under the necessity of again calling on Mr. POLE, and sent him the fol lowing letter : " August 14,1811. a Sta—l am forced to recur to an affair which I had believed was completely adjusted to our mutual satisfaction ; but in con sequence of a misconception on the part of my friend, or In con sequence of the unfounded reports of others, I am bound to call on you :obi to redress that injury, which I was told was cons pletely redressed, but which, according to my ideas, remains yet unatuned for. Though not called on to do so, I nevertheless am willing to inform yeu, that I should not have published any state ment of the occurrences between us, had not your promise that they should not transpire been violated, at the same time that the affair has been falsely represented.—l have the honour to be, your obedient humble servant, KILWORTH. " P. S. Captain Wallace will deliver this, and fix when and where our differences may be determined, In the only way that now remains. " W. W. Pole, Esq." To which Mr. POLE returned the following reply: Several 1 Oficers lately arrived from Portugal in. form us of the joy that prevailed there on the arrival of Genekals HILL and GRAHAM, and that that able cavalry Officer was eagerly looked for to command the great body of British cavalry there. We hear that two brigades of heavy cavalry and the hussar brigade, are immediately to be sent to Lord WELLINGTON. The heavy brigade to consist of the Life and Horse Guards, and another of the Inniskilling Dragoons, and 7th Dragoon Guards. The Duke of YORK has discontinued holding public days on Fridays during the Parliamentary recess. By our Falmouth letter, we learn, that twenty-five sail of transports, with the reinforcements on board for Lord WELLINGTON, were all well off that port on Wednesday. Monday and Tuesday mornings the whole of the 7th Dragoons left Birmingham barracks for Chiches ter, where they are to remain until their embarkation for Spain. The 2d Dragoons, or Scots Greys, have marched into Birmingham Barracks. The Royal City of Dublin Militia, from Loughrea, are arrived at Cork, in order to embark for England. The late Spanish Papers state, that the Regency, with the approbation of the Cortes, in consideration of the distinguished merits of Sir W. C. BERESFORD. conferred on him, as well as on Lord WELLINGTON, the brevet rank of Captain-General in Spain. The number of recruits which have recently been sent to the Portuguese army, amount to between eight and nine thousand : and when the whole of the Bri tish reinforcements shall have arrived, the Allied Army will be sufficiently formidable to encounter with success any force the enemy can at present be expected to be able to send against it. An Officer of the Sicilian regiment has contradict ed a late statement, that on the loss of the transport Christian, in Palmas-bay, the Italian recruits who were on board deserted on getting ashore. He asserts, that they joined their corps at Malta, with the excep tion of eight, who were probably drowned. " Half-past eleven, r. sa. 14th Aug. " Mr LORD—In answer to the note from your Lordship de; livered to me by Captain Wallace, I beg leave must distinctly to stare, that no earthly power shall induce use to grant you a meet ing till after the inclosed statement° shall have met the public eye. The instant after that, I am at your Lordship's orders ; and that Police OLcers may not interfere with us, (as suspected by Cap tain Wallace, whose conduct has been such as to prove him wor thy of the most ample credit,) I name Brighton Race Course as the place of our meeting, or any other place which yore. Lord ship chooses to name, not liable to interruption.—l have the ho nour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's obedient humble servant, W. WELLEaLCY poz.z." The time and place of meeting being fixed for this evening, near Hounslow, Lord KILWORTU and Mr. POLE exchanged shots at twelve paces. Colonel SHAWE, adverting to the original slight ground of quarrel, stated to Captain WALLACE that Mr. POLE had again attended to give his Lordship satisfaction ; and that as shots had been exchanged, he trusted Lord KILWORTII would now be satisfied. Captain WALLACE being of the same opinion, recommended to Lord KILWOHTII to be satisfied. Lord KSLWORTH still thought an apology necessary, which, however, was declared to be impossible by Colonel SHAWE, but 1 who added, that Mr. POLE came there to give Lord 1 KILWORTH satisfaction, but not to return his fire again. - Captain WALLACE repeated his opinion, that it was i not necessary to proceed any farther ; on which Lord ! KILWORTH said, that if Mr. POLE would declare he had no intention of offending him, he would be pet..., fectly satisfied. To this Mr. POLE answered, he could not object to say, as he had done before, that I he never had the slightest intention of offending Lord KILWORTH in Any part of his coniuct. 1 The Seconds declared their opinion that the affair _had terminated with equal honour to both parties, and proposed that Lord KILWORTH and Mr. Pout ' should meet as friends, which they accordingly did.

We have seen letters from Cadiz of a late date, all of them agree in the regret felt by the army at the departure of their beloved Commander, whom all ranks looked up to. One of these letters proceeds, ‘, the only novelty which has occurred lately, has displeased the army more than almost any thing else could have done, it is General GRAHAM'S being or dered to Portugal as a second in command of that army there, awl to succeed on the death or going home of Lord WELLING-rolv. There never was a man who possessed more the affections of those under his command, , and this proceeded from a conviction in all ranks of his goodness as a man, as well as his great talents as an Officer ; for he never courted po. pulatity by the means many obtain it. The only circumstance that reconciles us to his departure is the belief, that his abilities will now be called into actiun, which it is not likely would be here, for nothins, can be expected from our handful of men, aided by such torpid and indifferent allies. The Spanish soldiers are good, but they want officers, and will not accept our's. • In the interim we are commanded:by Gene , ral Coox, of the Guards." INlMi=l=i• FALMOUTH, AUGUST 14.

CIVIL SIDE.-TME ICING 9. COL This was an indictment preferred by.the Commis sioners of the road for a nuisance, in erecting a build ing in Blackfriars-Road, which encroached upon the road, and was forbidden by the Act for maki 1:z the road. The building in question is in front of Christ Church-yard. It appeared that there had originally been an enclosure, behind which was a shed, upon the scite of which the defendant had erected the build ing complained of, but the plinth in front extended six inches more into the road than time old fence, and seven inches on one side, and there was a portico at one end, on the scite of which no building had for merly stood. This indictment came on in consequence of the Commissioners and the defendant not being able to agree for the purchase of the piece of groudd, which the former were authorized and desirous to lay into the road. . Mr. Serjeant Bas r, for the Crown, contended, that as the Act of Parliament prohibited any building from being erected within ten feet of the road, that the whole of this was a nuisance, as it was within that distance, and it was of no consequence that an old shed was previously there, which time might have rendered necessary to pull down. Mr. GARROW, on the contrary, admitted, that as to the particulars abcve enumerated, the defendant must be found guilty, and must remove them ; hut that he had an undoubted right to rebuild wherever he pleased upon the extent of ground whereon a building had formerly stood. Lord ELLENBOROUGII being of the opinion with Mr. Garrow, the Jury, under his direction, found a ver dict accordingly. CORNWALL.
