those shameless and impudent accusations, from the old vindicator of Gallic fraud and tyranny, were re ceived in a British House of Commons with applause !" He thought he had stated enough to 'move that a gross breach of privilege had been committed ; and moved—That Andrew Mitchell, the Printer of The New Times, be ordered to attend at the Bar of, the House to-morrow. Sir J. MACKINTOSH—" In a case personal to myself I wish to say as little as possible. I consider the attack made on me in this publication, as I will any attack made on me, for the discharge of my Par liamentary duty, with the most perfect indifference, with.the most complete unconcern. Hear hear.) As far as my own feelings go, I never wish my name to be connected with any question of breach of privi lege, and, therefore, I am rather anxious, if my Learned Friend has no objection, that the matter should rest here. If, however, he thinks proper to proceed, I only wish that the course taken may be the most lenient possible.—(flear.) With respect to the anxiety of the writer of this letter to elicit truth, and encourage fair argument, I have merely to state, that, in the year 1808, the time when he places me in the new, unusual, and unthought-of situation, of a sycophant to the Court Party. I was employed in ad ministering justice in the East Indies 1 ." 7 --(Hear.) Mr. CUOKELI admitted that the words would amount to a Breach..of Privilege, if they were applied directly to the Honourable Member, but they referred to the speech as it was given by the reporter. Be sides, the libel was not of a nature which could in jure the character of his Honourable Friend (Sir J. Mackintosh). The latter part of the libel alluded to his conduct before he became a Member of that House, and could not, as lie conceived, be construed into a Breach of Privilege, however gross and un founded. For the;e reasons he thought the best course would be to put the question first, whether it was a Breach of Privilege or not ? Lord Mt LTON concurre.d with the Hon. Gentle man in thinking it was a doubtful question, and therefore should be first determined. 'Mr. W. WYNN thought the case so clear as to render it unnecessary that they should come to that resolution. It would be better that the Gallery should be shut altogether, though that would be a great evil, than that such comments should be permitted to the disadvantage of Members. It was not with a view to his Honourable Friend, but for the general protec tion of the House and of the Country, that he had brought forward the subject. Lord C ASTLEREAGH suggested, that as doubts were entertained whether the publication in question amounted to a b:each of privilege or not, the be.t way would be to adjourn the question, and in the mean time, the Honourable Member would have an opportunity to satisfy his own mind. Mr. WYNN acquiesced in the suggestion, and the question was postponed. The House went into Committee on the Bankrupt Amend tarot Laws. r. Tile House resumed, and the Report was received and order ed to be re•committed up stairs. The Framework-knit r,:rs' Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. BItOGDEN gave notice, on the part of a Noble Friend of his, that he would move to-morrow, that the House at its rising that day adjourn to Friday. The other Orders of the Day were then agreed tq after which the House adjourned at half-past"fwo o'Clnck. THE EVENING STAR LONDON. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16, 1819.

The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this Morning. The RING, on Saturday, transacted business suc cessively with the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Minister at War. The latter, Marshal Sr. Ora, was to set out on Sunday for the waters of Carlsbad, where he is expected to remain about a month. The llion;teur announces that M. BRICOGNE has been struck off the list of the Council of State. The 3.nirnals agree in conjecturing that the cause of his disgrace is a recent publication on the Finances, in which NI. BRICOUNIC CO/ItPTltied, with a good deal of talent, for the uncourtly doctrines of Economy and Retrenchment, and sheaved, by a variety of details, how a reduction of fifty millions might be effected in the Budget. The Chamber of Deputies have already gone so far on M. BRICOGNE'S hints as to strike off upwards of ten millions ; and in this we presume lies the bitterness of the pill. If such be really the cause of the grudge which the French Ministers have conceived against M. BRICOGNE, we think with one of the Journals (the Gazette de France) that he ought to be felicitated on an event which separates him from a s e t of advisers so regardless of the interests of truth and their country. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Saturday, Baron de Snws, in the name of the Committee of Expenses, made a Report on the Petition of Pource, the Grena dier who saved the life of Bonaparte, in the affair of St. Cloud, on the 18th Brumaire, in the year 8 of the Republic. The object of the Petition was to obtain • along with his pay as a retired which had been gran ipense for his conduct laws having been prohibit the accumu- Committee were of opinion that the case of Pour°e was one which ought to be made an exception to the general law. On the ques tion of adopting this recommendation, a very anima ted debate ensued. M. CHAUVELIN felt great repugnance to confirm a national recompense for an act which he designated as of " fearful example." He moved the previous question. M. de PUYMARIN supported the opinion of the Committee. The affair of the 18th Brumaire had rescued France from the ruinous domination of a re volutionary faction, and could never be remembered without gratitude; but leaving that out of view, the Honourable Member thought that the act of a soldier bravely interposing between his General and the poignards of assassins, presented in itself an example deserving of every encouragement. M. Puymarin sat down amidst a great deal of con fusion and conflicting calls for the " previous ques tion, adjournment, vote, &c." M. LAINE DE VILLEVEQUE, ascending the tribune in great warmth—" If you consecrate by a national recompense the attempt of Bonaparte on the 18th Brumaire against a Represeetative Assembly, it will be necessary that you also recompense the attempt of the 18th Fructidor, the sale of Louisiana, the x.. 1 pedition to St. Domingo, and M. CHAUVELIN (from his place)—" Cite our vic tories, our high deeds of arms ; say that they should all be recompensed, but that we shall never be rich enough to do it." After several other Members had addressed the Chamber, the previous question was at length put ; but in consequence of the great contusion which pre vailed, the votes had to ne taken four times over before the sense of the Chamber could be definitively ascertained, when it appeared to be by a small majo rity in the negative. The motion for the adoption of the recommendation of the Committee was then put and carried. The Chamber afterwards resumed the acijcurned discussion on the Budget, when the following sums were voted :—For the completion of the Heel de Rivoli, 1,300,000 fr.—Ordinary Service of the Mini ster of Finance, 7,565,000 fr. An article under the head of Eipensts of Negnciation, gave rise to a dis-; cussion, which being protracted till the usual hntir of rising, the Chamber adjourned. Five per Cents.

My observations it a re cent letter on Mart•hal Geuvros STi Cvtt have been translated into all the French Papers, and uniformly abused by them all. SoutT's arrival convinces them that it is not always Frenchmen who are best ac quainted with French affairs. There seems little doubt of partial changes in the Ministry—they arc as necessary as similar changes in the English one; indeed, for the two Governments to be in harmony, (which is absolutely necessary for their mutual pro sperity) such changes in one render similar ones in tht other if not indispensable, at least highly desirable." Saturday morning Lord MEtvir.ts, Sir Grlonoc Coos:Butts, Sir HENRY 110THA NI, Sir T. B. NIA RTIN, Sir WILLIAM CONGItEVE, and R. SEPPINCS, Esq. vi sited Chatham Dock-yard, and proceeded on board the Bulwark afloat, to inspect the method planned and contrived by Sir W. CONGIIIIVE, of fitting the magazines. After an investigation of about two hours they returned to the Dock-yard. The Lords of the Admiralty and Sir W. CONCIIEVI: shortly after took their departure, but the Comptroller and Sur veyor of the Navy continued through the day visiting the yard and shipping. The Drcmcdary store-ship is preparing for service at Woolwich. Mr, JOHN DAY is appointed Naval Storekeeper at Leith, vacant by the death of Mr. JAMES BaucE, who was unfortunately drowned a short time since, when in the execution of his duty. The Earl of MoRToN, having occasion to call on Mr. Gam= MONCRIEEP, Manager of the Union Ca nal Company in Edinburgh, gave the said Mr. GEORGE the lie! a boxing match ensued, and blue eyes and bloody noses were the result on both sides. Monday se'nnight; the LORD LIEUTENANT or IRE LAND, and the Countess TALBOT, left Dublin Castle, on a visit to the Marquis of SLIGO, at his Lodge on the Curragh of Kildare. l'ausha2/ Gardens were, en Monday evening (not withstanding the rain, which fell heavily during the afternoon) extremely well attended ; a convincing proof of the excellence of its accommodations, and the popularity of its performances. ENGLISH OPERA Housr..—The Beggar's Opera was performed last night to an elegant ziudience ; and the characters, in general, were very ably sustained. A young Lady. made her first appearance, on any Stage, in the character of Polly. Her person is good, her manners very pleasing, and she performed the part throughout in a style sufficiently interesting. The Foreign Enlistment Bill with the amendments has been printed. It is not to have a retrospective efficacy, but is to take effect from the Ist of August, 1819, within any part of the United Kingdom, or the islands of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark, and from the Ist of November in any place out of the United Kingdom or the said islands.

The Royalists appear to have made but an indifferent resi,tance. The City of Portobello was formerly very populous and wealthy, but it has of late years been greatly on the decline. It has experienced several invasions : once before by an English force under Admiral VER. NON, to whom it surrendered by capitulation. Gene ral MACGREGOR proixned immediately proceeding against Panama.—A vessel which arrived at Jamaica on the sth of May, after a passage of fifteen days. from St. Andreas, reported that he was to commence his march on the morning after she sailed. We sub . join the Proclamation issued by General Maconnoon on the capture of the Town: " Soldiers—The Army of New Grenada has co vered itself with glory. Porto Bello, the mast famous fortress of South America, could only withstand a few hours the valour of our arms. " The Light Brigade, under the orders of the gal lant General Rafter, overcame obs,acles and difficul ties which only men, animated with your entlity,iasm, could have attempted. The advance, lcd 1.1 the brave Captain Ross, attacked the enemy with such intrepidity, that they fled with fear and astonishment to their walls. " The Navy, under Commodore Hudson, in co vering the landing and in the diversion they made in attacking the Spanish Forts in the Harbour, did every thing that their intrepidity gave me a right to expect from them. The Captains and seamen of tl.e trans ports are deserving of every praise for the exertions they made In landing the troops. " Soldiers—Our first con?uest has been glorious, it has opened the road to fortune and additional fame• Panama invites our approach, and the South Sea shall soon behold upon her shore the conquerors of the Isthmus. (Signed) " critcorr M'CREGGR. Mad-quarters, Porto Dello, Apri! 10." The foPowing accounts have been received by a vessel arrivettat B:ic:ol. They wear a very different complexion from the Spar. accou:lts circulated a few days ago. indeed ire have so oiler, found, when the Spaniards boosted of a victory, they have gene rally been proVed to have sustained loss, that we re ceive their :::counts of victories with great distrust.

" I e::dose you two letters, which will thew you how things stand on the Arauca and Apure. In the mean time, while Bo livar keeps 111orillo employed there, General Engli►h has gone w make a dash on the capital of Caraccas. General Urdancta commands the expedition, and Colonel littler is with him, as well as Colonel Gilmore, Lieutenant-Colonel Woodbery, Colonel Needham is Adjutant-GeneraL It was said the brave General Gomez, the defender of Margarita, was also under orders, with SOO of blorillo's Margarita Giants. But we have no particulars of what number of native troops have been added to the British from Margarita, or Bermudez's army. It has heti-. made up, I calculate, to ?,Leo or 3,000 men. Admiral Brion proceeded with all his fleet. I suspect your first accounts of these operations will be from St. Thomas's. But beware of S?an'sh fabrications ; they are all meant fur your market. " I see no reason to doubt that this will yet be a glorious campaign for the Patriots, and the more English who join them, so much the better for Englancl." EXTRACT FROM THE ST. VINCENT GAZETTE, APRIL 24. " By two vessels which arrived yesterday from the Orinoco with mules, we understand that the expected battle between the Royalist Army and the Independents under General Paez, was reported to have taken place, and that the latter are stated to have obtained a complete victo , -y ; but it does not appear that any distinct particulars of the action had been received at An- gostura up to the time of these vessels leaving that place. The ship hero was met in the River Orinoco on the 14th of this month, with r.OO men from England to join the Independents, with whom they %i.l act as cavalry." 4 ' ST. VIN`CENTS, APRIL S. " The people here are well-disposed to the cause of the In dependents, they are getting well supplied with mules, and anz ticipate a profitable trade with that country fur maay articles which it may be able to supply, and which they arc much in want of. All the traders who have been there spe.tk in favour able terms of the good faith of the Patriots in their dealings, and of the anxiety of the Government to render the situation of the English whe join them as comfortable as possible." EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM INTENDANT PFNALVER, DATED ANGOSTURA, APRIL `23: " We have received several reports ar.d dispatches from main army operating between, the Arauca and Apure against Murillo, of which the following is the substance :--As soon as General Boli.ar arrived at lit:ad-quarters he put the army in motion, assured that Morillo had divided his troops to prepare for the expected attack on the coast. When, however, HoLvar arrived at Gamarias, he learnt that the main body of the enemy was still posted in the Island of Ackagnas, in conseqtence of which he made a retrograde movement, and again crossed the Arauca• —Dforillo immediately advanced to the banks of that river with his whole force, and during three days made several at tempts to cross it, but was repulsed. General l'aez, at the head of 250 picked cavalry, forded the river at some distance up, and moved on his Bank for the purpose of reconnoitering-. Dforillo ordered a detachment of 1,200 cavalry and infantry to move against who were broken by a charge of Paez's lancers.' The Spaniards being in a state of disordnr, suffered materially, ar.d several accounts concur in sorting that they lest 4t:o mew Morino immediately retreated to his old positions in the Island of Achaguas. He has now been nearly two months in the neigh bot:rhood of the Apure, and though almost constamly in sight of our army, has never been able to bring ft to battle. Our-Gueril las frequently make attacks, but we feel happy in Morillo's oc whilst other important operations areeupycarring:ihneg on." he does, We since learn, by the same Mail which has brought the accounts of the capture of Porto Bello, that letters had been received from Curasoa, stating, that Admiral Meloles squadron, of about which lately sailed from Margaretta for CI had encountered a violent gale, which had much damage to the fleet, that k was obligee back to Margaretta. To add to the regret: we may be allowed to express at this r•verse tune on the part of the Patriots, we find that out of 800 English troops who had al Margaretta, 200 have already fallen victim climate.
