We have to' cougruturate our Readers . on the sailinr, of Lord Exmourn's Expedition from Ports-. mouth to subdue, as we trust, the Barbary Powers. A change of wind having cabal place yesterday, bis Lordship took advAntage of it. and immediately sailed. The wind came round again, however. in thr course of the evening to the Saudi West. INA Mt SO V;elElilly we hope as to cause the return of the fleet. ships which have sailed under his Lordship's command are, the QUEEN CHARLOTTE. MINDEN. FIECLAI Finn, INFERNAL, CORDELIA I SEVERN, Bill- TOXIART, CADUUS, DOYEN. Tneurs. and JASEUR. I3y our letters from Jamaica, we learn that Tome previous communications should have reached as re. lative to affairs in South America ; byt which have not yet come to hand. We still hope to receive the parcel. In the mean time we subjoin some farther extracts from the Jamaica Papers received yesterday ; 1 some of which are interesting : • KINGSTON, MAY 25. His Majesty's ship Sabine, Captain Campbell, which sac sent in quest of the Thames transport, re. turned into port yesterday, not having been able to fall in with that vessel, although she went as far as Cape Antonio. Off St. Vincent, on the 17th instant, the Loyal Briton spoke a brig, and learnt that Rear-Admiral liarvey, in the Antelope, was lying in Kingston har bour.— Off the East End, on Wednesday last. the Marian spoke a schooner from the Main, bound to Montego Bay, the Captain of which stated tbat be had seen an official letter from General Bolivar, an nouncing the captare of blargaiitta, Cumana, and Barcelona, and that the Independent forces, which *mounted to .5000 men, were proceeding on for the Caraccae. We also learn that the Creole and Pa triot schooners had captured Live Spanish vessels, one a brig which had upwards of 000,000 dollars on boasd. JCNE 3.—Caracas Gazettes reached us yesterday afternoon, to the 15th instant, but atlas late an hour for a translation of the extracts we have made from them to appear in the Dutch language. Ia these papers the usual Spanish policy is displayed, not the slightest notice being taken of Bolivar's expedition, as if such a circumstance were in no degare interesting to the people of that country. On the 18th of April Lieutenant-Colonel Jacot was 4--aleet for Wes treason, io the Plaza de Capuchiaos Caracas. He had been Lieutenant Colonel of Royal Engineers in the King's service, and was made Bri gadier General by the Patriots. The order for the re-establishment of the Royal Audieacia, salons delayed, is at length promulgated in Caracas, whets the Court of Appeal and of Confis cation, established by General Motility, are to cease their functions. The regiment of Gerona had arrived at Panama from Cadiz, and those of Granada and the Infant Don Carlos were expected there ; they were to touch, however, at Margarita, as well as any other forc6s arriving in South America, is case their aervites might be required. The Gazette of Ist May contains the official letter of Colonel Calzada to Gencrak Morino, dated Pie de Cuesta, 25th February. According to which, three days before, on the heights of Cachiri, be had com pletely routed the patriots under Ricaurte, Santander, idadrid, and the sambo Arevalo, killing upwards of one thousand men, including 40 officers, wounding WO. taking 500, inclusive of 2S officers prisoners; besides two guns, four stand of colours, 750 muskets, ammunition, cattle, &c. falling into his bands, and all this with the loss only of 150 veterans killed and wounded. The latest Gazette contains nothing of interest, un less it be the arrival of Morales with his grenadiers at Maracaybo, where transports were preparing to cirry them to Windward, and the Editor adds . ..." alki we know officially that he had orders to commence his march towards these provinces, so soon as be should receive advice of the occupation of the city of Santa Fe by the sth division ;we IllUet draw the cow closion that that capital must have bees' in their poi session since the end of March or beginning of April." June B.—The Spanish schooner Clara, which lately sailed from this port for. Cuba, returned on Monday, having bees warned off that coast by four Castbage. Dian privateers. which :be fell in with on the 20th nit. They had previoitsly made several prisesoome of than very valuable. A small doop. from Porto ltico to St. Jagoale.Caba, was also eaptuved by thetas and her crew put on board the Clara.

They had arrived at Suez, within eight days' journey of blogadore. The ac counts of this misfortune came through the British Consul at Mogadore, who was using every exertion to recover the captives, and with every hope of suc cess. The passengers were Mr. %V. Black, son of the principal proprietor of the ship. another gentleman si the same name, who is a partner in the house; asd Mr. Basland. from E'srrt Glasgow.

By this erase/ we have is confirmation of the capture of Santa Fe by a divi sion of the Royal Army under Colonel Torre. The following is a copy of the Proclamation by Don Ga briel de Torres y Velasco, Governor of the City of Carthagena, " Palace of the °oven:pent of Carthagens, Oath My. " Be it known to the public, that his Eikeßemy the Captain- General of thh kingdom has received [rein Colose!

" The inhabitants of this City and 'Province caa do no lees than manifest, by rejoicing, the satisfaction they have in seeing their brethren of Santa fit, Papayan, and t`le other Provinceeof the Kingdom, already liberated by the heroic valour d the King's troops from the tyranny of those banditti, vibe were living on the spoils of that beautiful country; and the Govern ment, equally 'nitrated in this glorious and important news, decrees a general Wungnatien this night, and permitting every specie,' of deteeous amusement, in the fuU aulidenee that the best order will be preserved, acid directing the Akades aid Ma gistrates of the different Wards carefully to watch over its pre servation. (Signed) " GAZllliti DE TORIES." sr. Dome co, MAT 17. ' On the 15th instant, a Spanish vessel arrived from the coast of Cora, at the fart rt Ati Captain of which gave information, that on the 23th ultimo, General Bolivar landed at the island of Margaritta with his expedition, but he found that town already evacuated by the Spaniards. After having refreshed his troops, and obtained reinforce ments, he proceeded to Cumana, which place Will immediately surrendered to the Independent artny by the Governor, Major O'Campos. After their entrance into Cumana, great numbers from the ad jacent coast rallied to the standard of liberty, and Barcelona WAS taken possession of cm the 10th of this month. We must again remind our Readers of the Meeting intended to be held on Monday, to take into consi deration the best means of ameliorating the condition of the industrious poor. It is a subject of the first importance, and well deserving of every attention which enlighaoed individuals can beitow upon it. A temporary supply for present distress, however ne cessary this may be, is but a small part of the subject which should occupy the attention of the Meeting. Means for employing those who are willinv to work must be devised—or means to secure to them * , when employed. a larger reward for their labour. The subject is a most intricate one. The world seems to be placed in entirely new circumstances, which com mand some change of sistcm suited to the crisis. Has the war . alone produced the present derliegs- , went? No . s En, in spite of all the waste that has been occasioned by ir, there is more real property in .Europe than these was at its commencement—and a larger populagon.capable of producing a still greater iacrease s them is more corn grown ; more cattle are mired ; and machinery to add to the productive powers of iadostsy. has been increased beyond all t ics -mar example. Have die improvements is machinery produced ithe present derang,ensent I—None but men of very United understanding wiU be periaded that what is caleolated to lessen the labour of the human race can be a source of real evil to mankind. On the con trary, whatever tends to lessen the necessity of labour jis calculated eventually to benefit the community and add to the comforts of aU classes of the people. This might easily be demonstrated did our present limits allow it. The results to which this lead may not please--on the contrary they may alarm iporaaf—we shell not say 84fish mea ; for it is the, true interest of every in dividual to sift this question to the bottom—to dis cover all its bearings—and to lend his aid, to pat into motion, and to further the system to which it may point. But the question is a most difficult one, for it embraces the system of commerce of the whole civilized world, aod poises to die abolition ot all restrictions on the intercourse siltioly shoal exist among nations in respect to the products of industry. This, however, cannot be the work of a day, (thottgh it ought instantly to become the subject of friendly communication among the Governments of Europe) And till something caa be effected, treasures of protection should be resorted to. This, however, is very difficult, and deserves, great consideration. On this subkct we subjoin a copy of a Petition addressed to his Royal Highness the Panics R WENT, of which a printed copy reached us this morning. It is en. titled •' the hunsble Memorial of the undersigned, being Manufacturers of 'Cotton Goods, and Work. men who have been employed in the various branches of that once extensive and important manufacture ;" —And its object is to obtain a prohibition of the Ex. portation of Cotton Yarn, on the idea that if Fo reigners could not get the Yarn which they weave into Cloth, they would be obliged to buy the Clods iron us: "Tat linens MRIIORML, "That your Royal High:leis% humble Memorialists vrbo all occasions have proved themselves his Majesty's most faithful and loyal sublects, are brought to the greatest distress, which is ever y day becoming more poignant; and unless some aims of relief be speedily devised. ow common ruin must involve both Masters and Workases.

By this traffic, one part of his Majesty's subjects work to enable Foreigners to do without the labour of the otber part; aad hence their restrictive measares against the finished Manufactures of your Memorialists. Ano ther evil arl.ing out of the above, la the frequent reduction of Wages. Tide system must at di times decrease tke value of the Stock on Bond, which is sometimes immense. The consequence is, that the most wealthy of the Masters have either altogether, or partly, declined this Manufacture ; whilat others, by repeated sacrifices of depredated stocks, have - become insolvent. Hence many thousands of Weavers are out oil employ; whilst those wbo base work cannot, on an average, are more than Four Shillings per Week ; and Iktis more than two years ago, for a shod period (FerdguLoosna being prevented for /0111 e time from nsamsfactu ring goods from British Cotton Yarns, owing to their Country's being then the Seat of War) they could earn Sixteen Shillings and Sixpence iu the same thee.

They proceeded to Twicketiham, to the residence of the Duke and Duchess of Oamotifs, where they dined, and afterwards went on to Windsor. The Quays is expected u) give an entertainment, in honour orthe two Royal marriages, soon after the return of the Dyke and Duchess of Gtoucesrmt. Lord CAWDOR IS come to town, in ostler to arrange a matrimonial settlement between his son, the Hon. frif. CAMPBELL, and Lady Ectznnrr►t THYNNR, eldest daughter of the Marquis and Matchioness 01 BATH, whose nuptials are speedily expected to take place. Lady ELIZABETH THYNNE is in heir I‘2J year, and is one of.the Beauties of die higher circles; Mr. CAMPBELL is three Of lour years older. Of the large fortune of Lady Ul7ll Buttons, now Counte►s of PAULITT, iellellt 7 thousand pounds are to be applied to the immediate service of the Earl.— The remainder is sculed upon herself, in• away per fectly satisfactory to her friends. The most fashionable woman in the circle of the French Court is said to be Madame biarretv : she ,spends whole days at the Thailleries, laughing, dancing, and singing. Her great wealth, high favour at Court, and personal charms, have drawn round her a multitude of - admirers ; she is said to have IC. jetted Marshal MACDONALD, because lie WAS WO steady. Those who have seen her in England, could scarcely recognise her in Paris. Last night ushered in a new moon, from which great hopes of favourable weather are expected. The rrayer.for fair weather was read in several churches of the metropolis on Sunday last. _ t_ From. ail puts of the country we hear of damage ione by the late storms and floods occasioned by the heavy rains.—On Thursday uxorning last a storm ul hail fell in the parish of Kelly, near Launceston ; weral trees were blown down, and sheep killed. The weather in Jamaica has been as unseasonable as, in Europe. Constant rains and thunder storms were experienced up to the middle of June. - - The nine convicted Ely Rioters, whose sentence of death has been remitted, were expected to be only imprisoned for a year or two ; but this expectation appears to have been erroneous, as they luive been removed by order of Government to the Nore, for the purpose of being transported for seien years consequence of which, a meeting of some of the in habitants of Ely has been hold at the Club inn, 1:1y, (Jour: PAM.
