instructions toy , 'in South is due to the perpetrators of such cruelties ? What fealty to' a Government which devotes its subjects to Massacre, t old e xtirpation ? Extract of an official dispitchlrom Mozn, Captain- General of Caraccas, to URREIZTICTA I Governor of the Island of Margarita, dated " CARACCAS, Nov. 15, /815. ; 1 1 enjoin you to set aside all htimane considerations. Alt the bis'urgents, or that who tallow them, with or without arms, those who have aided them, and hinny those who have taken, any pin in the preterit crisis hi which the island is placed, are in- Inutly to be shot'vrithout any formal process or summary, and tne gelf oa a a short verbal trial in presence of three Olken," &c. Instructions from Governor Umuurncrn to Cap. bilfGAßaloo : .4 you will give quarters to no one, and allow your troopi to pillage as soon as they arrive. If you find therenemy is weak you will follow him up to St. John's. This place you will burn, and withdraw when every thing is 'tranquil." When the Insurgents captured the Island of Mar garita, such were the papers which fell into their hnnds rand on their authority, and with the recent scenes of plunder, violence, cruelty, and confLigra- tion before them, they put to death the 800 Royalists who had retreated to Pampatar. Boctian has now landed on the contiguous Main ; he has obtained possession of the upper provinces of Venezuela ; he has set the Blacks free ; he has called them to fight in his ranks; and, with an army of 8000 men, he ;marches on Caracas, to avenge the bleeding wrongs of his.country. And when are these horrors to end ? The policy of the British Government, as well as the wisbesof the people, have at all times involved active principles of deep solicitude for the general interests of humanity, when outraged in a strong and pointed manner. The moral character of in avowed attempt to take from a suffering people the common rights of men, l?as at all times been felt with just indignation by Britons,whose qmpathies have been displayed even for the secluded • and unlettered African. What then prevents us from looking at the ravages in Spanish America ? Or are we to wait till all is wrapped in one general scene of ' destruction, and the inhabitants become extinct.— Every native there destroyed, is a consumer of gri. tish merchandise lost ; are we then to wait till our goods are conveyed to ruined towns and empty cities ? till our rivals have supplanted us? The Duke of WELLINGTON Will leave town on Tuesday morning for Paris. Yesterday the QUEEN and Princess Ectzastrrn par took of a repast with the Duke an.t Duchlss of GloccEsrart, and at hall-past two o'clock, accom pioied by the Duchess of GLOUGIISTEIi, City pro. elected to Cameltord Itotisr„ on a visit to the Princess Comormwhere they remained about thret.quartets of an hour.

On Tuesday, his Royal Highness complained of being unwell, yet. wowiihstanding, he did not keep the house, o at walked about ale streets in the neighbourhood or Sr. James's Palace. as he is much in the habit of doing ; yet notwithstanding, he was in so much pain that he could not walk upright. The Doke called at the house of Sir GILBERT BLANE, in Cleveland row, wha urine 'a pr -scription to relieve liim from a violent pain in I,i, coniach, which .he was then labourino ender.

Dr. .Sir DAVID DCNDAS, of Richmond, was also sent Cir. His Royal Highness got worse, and inflammation on the chest had taken place. The Doctors considering his Royal Highness to be in im niinent danger, the attack, we understood,' arising trim the asthma And the gout, thought right to send off expresses to the QUEEN, at Windsor, and the PRINCE RECENT and Duke of Casiourior., at Brigh• tor, which they received on Thursday morning; and tr.e ; r Royal Highnesses lost no time, in consequence, in proceeding with all possible speed to see their b"hel at Bobby. The Duke of CAMCRIDGE remained with hint all night. The PRINCE RECENT slept at the house of Sr BENJAMIN Bcnomiln.n . , where-ar rngerrients were making for his Royal Highuess.to o-niaio there, had not the Roptl Disk: been pro. reunced barer.

The deathoof Mr. Lyell (not Lisle, as generally stated), at Madrid, we regret to state, is fully con firmed by official accounts from Mr. Vaughan, Bri tish Envoy at the Spanish capital, to the Government at home, and also by letters from an English Gentle man at Madrid to Mr. LyeiPs family at Pimlico Mr. Lyell, it appears, was in the daily habit of walk ing in the Itetiro from 10 o'clock id the morning till, two o'clock in the a,ternoon, at which hour he g-ne rally dined in company with a countryman, with whom he had contracted an intimacy of friendship. Oa the 21st of July, Mr. Lyell failed to retort' to dinner at the usual hour, and his friend waited its vain his coming home during the whole of that night. Next morning he communicned the absence of Mr. Lyell to Mr. Vaughan, who c:tused diligent inquiry to he made for him. In the course of the inquiry it transpired that an English. man found murdered in the Itetiro had been taken to the hospital to be owned : at this place he was rtcogitized by his friend, who, on examining the body, found on it seven distinct stabs, given by some triengulsr instrument such as a bayonet or a tuck which is generally carried in a eatie or stick. On application of Mr. Vaughan, the Spanish Grvern mtnt made every endeavour, through the means of the Police, to trace the assassins, and the cause of the murder, List as far as is yet kuilwn 4 withuut effect. Mr. Lyell, when found, had on him Spanish money to the amount of about 430, which he had received [tom Mr. Vaughan on the day previous. One ac count says, that he is supposed to have ignorantly entered a walk frequented by had characters, and was, perhaps, suspected to have been a spy among them. • Ile is said to have ly•en a man of singularly mild and (pie the last maa to plunge into a rim or disturbance. - He was forimrly in tine family of Lord Catlicei t.

The ingenious author of Rhoda has lately produced. a little Tract, which will be read with much advan tage by.all classes, and particularly by the Fashion able World. It-is entitled, • Every Day Chrirtiaaity.' Gknarvoa.—lt appears from the explanatory Pre face suhpined to the new Edition of this interesting production, that the most erroneous impressicins have prevailed in the minds of ceitain persons respecting it. I'he Author seems particularly desirous of correcting the misrepresentations regarding the character Of Lady MAIWARRT BUCHANAN, which has been attri buted to one to whom most assuredly neither in man ner nor in mind it bears the least resemblance. ' WeJnesday evening a wine-cooper, residing in Little Shire-lane, was drinking with some friends at a public-house in Hungerford-street, Strand, until he was in a state of inebriety, and was advised to go home, when one of his friends accompanied him but on their going through George-court, he insisted his friend should walk before him, which the other accordingly did. There were several persons stand. ing in the gateway from the rain, one of whom, from some cause unknown, knocked him down. He ei claimed murder, and his friend, on looking back, saw him weltering in blisod, but could not tell the cause of it. He was carried is a senseless state into the nest public-house, and surgical assistance was procured. Amonglit the persons who went with him was the man who is buppoard to have struck him, but on being re• coshiacd. he went out on pretence of calling a coach, .to taste home the wounded man, but has not bean heard of since.

Mr. Berk ant Ossa.cw, as leading counsel for the, crown, having stated the case, it was proved in evi dence as follows s—. .lames Con..fing, a shoemaker at Chatham, stated, that the prisoner came to his ahoy at Cka..lesert on the lfith of May, and represented himself as having Kett his ship, the "I'vntee, on liberty, an I :hat she would be round at Sheerness in a few days. In the meats time he wanted a pair of boots, which he tried am. He then gave the witness a Navy bill for ATI 163. The witness said he did not like to take it, as he knew sometimes the agents had drawn all the pay, and the hill was refused when presented. He, however, said he would go out and endeavour to get cash for it: ' The prisoner represented himself the drawer, and said he was Lieutenant Porter. The witness knew the first Lieutenant by name, and therefore, by way of ascertaining whether the prisoner really belonged to ' the Tvelee, he asked him it he WAS ;the first Lieu tenant ? lie said No; the first Lieutenant's name ivaa Kitchen, which was true, and therefore, the witness teadily believed the rest of his tale. When he went out to get the bill caJleil, the prisoner went aw ty, and returned in 'd'art two hours. He told the prisoner be could not get cash for the hill, bet he would let hint have 45, and send the rest to Sheerness when the hie was paid. The prisoner said £.5 would net he enough, And as he had made the hid payable to the witness, he could not give it to any b d f The witness then said he should have LW, which, after some time, the prisons+ accepted. - The prison. e then tnek a rair of shoes, and a pair of short stockinge. • ' He asked it the witeseis could retake barns front a measere taken by another person ? The witness told him he could, :nil sLeserd the pm ironer h o w to mea sure, by di aieirig a I?:4 on t , .? back cf -ne of his p cards, and dotting the places to be measitted. The prisoner said it was probable that many of the offices, would want boots when the ship came round, and I:e would re-commend the witness The witness on L ise back of the sane card 'cast up the - amount of the boots, shoes, &c. which the prisoner bought, with the £lO in rratiney r and deducted it from the amount of . the bill, sheswing the balance due to the prisoner when the bill was paid. The prisoner went away, and the witness paid the bill so Jul kes and Ce. bankers, and in ten Jays it was discovered to b e a f orgery .

While he was there it stew k the witness that he resembled the description of the person he had seen advertised as passi:y; forged Navy bills. After soiree tuna he told the pi ismer his sus. plena's, and put the paper in his hands in which his, person was (free' ibed. The prisoner turned very pale, • and his . hand shook very much. He, iloe:ever, denied that he was the person alluded to. The witness told him if he was innocent he could have no ebjectiott t s go to Mr. Twopenny's effice, the Magistrate's clerk. He said he was willing, but went very reluctantly. He, liesecvo-, was forced ter), and on starching him the' card given him by the last witness was found upon him, and another forged Navy bill. 'rite bill Was proved to be a forgery. The prisoner, in his defence, said the ball W 44 paid him by a Mr. Lewis, but the transaction took place when they were alone, and he _could not find Mr, Lewis, though he had caused diligent search to be made alter him. Thoneas Loekhatt said, he was.purser of the Pan swan? = that he had known the prisoner for three years. He had formerly sailed with him. The pri. sorter was a captain's clerk, and he then bore an ir. reproachable character. • The Jury found him Guilty, and his Lordship im mediately pronounced the sentence of DeAth ; during which the unfortunate man's wife, who had been in Court during the trial, uttered a scream and fell al. most lifeless.
