Private letters from St. Petersburgh, of the 34.1 lastest, sate the reason of the expulsion of the Jesuits to be the following A Jesuit, who was engaged as teacher to the Princess Naichkin, daughter of the Emperor's Grand Chamberlain, took the liberty to instil into this young Lady, without the knowledge of her , parents, all in dnir absence, the principles of the Catholic stligkra, so that she formally abjured the faith of the G:rek Church, aid drew on herself the displeasure of her parents and of his Imperial •Majesty. The Lir was strictly inquired into, and it was found that young persons of both sexes, mostly of great fami lin, hat! renounced their faith, on which that. measure against the Jesuits was adopted.

We hare received the foll Owing authentic detail: of the late distressing event! at Carthagena. The' cause of the Patriots is not, howevet, hopeless, fur after the surrender of the place, they proceeded unmolested to another quarter of .Granada, where they are ex pected to rally and become assailants in their turn. Our Readers will learn with horror, that 320 wretched inhabitants of Carthagena died in one day from hunger previous to the surrender.! We regret also to find that some of,onr generous countrymen, who in the true spirit of freeborn t nglishmen, had lent their aid by advances of money and supplies of provisions, to the Patriots ) have been seized by the Royalist Spanish General Monu.r..o, thrown into a dungeon, and threatened with a military trial l If they had been found with arms in their bands, per haps there might be something to say in favour of this procedure, but their civil capacity does, we ap prehend, bring them fairly within the protection of their awn native Government. The inhabitants of Kingston, Jamaica, view the business precist ly in the same light, and have presented a Memorial to Ad miral DotoLas, the British Naval Commander there, on the subject, who, we are rejoiced to find, has patched a fast-sailing vessel to Carthagena to claim his unfortunate countrymen'.

Famine brought on that calamity, and nothing but complete and unheard.of privations effected its reduction : every efFort to throw in provisions from this was made, but unprecedented misfortunes baffled all enterprize. A brig with 1500 barrels Hour arrived the very moment of evacuation : another would! have saved the place, as five other yes.' sels have since fallen into the lion's mouth, as it were, by running in under the belief that eartliageea was still in the possession of the Patriots. For weeks before the evacuation, the troops and inhabitants literally lived on horses, asses, dogs, cats, rats. leather, and such like; and being at length reduced to skeletons, with pestilence among them, they were compelled to adopt the plan they did. " The garrison emtsarked in thirteen vessels, firs: spiking the guns, without molestation ; they forced their way through the launches and gun-boats of the enemy, and made for Aux Cayes, where several of them have arrived. They carried off all the muskets, brass guns, and ammunition, and it is now the grand object to attack in turn some other part of the Coast, under the command of the celebrated General Simon Bolivar, who kft this froirtaen days ago for Aux Cayes. Bolivar is a was.? of Carraceas ; has proved himself a great General, having fought 1.1.3 actions with the Royalists since the commencement of the Revolution—he will have twenty armed vessels, and 3000 or CVO men ; an expedition sufficiently great to meet Morino. The intention of Bolivar is to force his way into the interior, to lot m a junction with the forces of the interior, then to come in Cie rear of Car. thagena : this will be the work of two months, and not more, so you may belie ye that the fall of Cartha gena does not knock up the Patriots cause in this quarter—they are strong in the interior, which will prevent Morillu penetrating further than Islompox on the Magdalina. On the 4th of this month, two days before Carthagena gave up, :;:efi) died ; indeed it is incredible the both:l4lgs of these people. By this unlucky event we arc throws into great distress as to the late of our friend It seems lie would not quit Carthagetra, trusting to a letter from Gene ral Hore (a Spanish prisoner whose release he effected) to Moral°, but by repot such has not availed, fur he is now in solitary conkement ; some say, to be tried by a military commission,' others, that he is to be sent to Spain for trial. We fain hope that these accounts are greatly exaggerated ; but as we have not heard from himself, the presurn i krion is, that something unpleasant has happened—it is reported that he has been shot, hat this we cannot trace. We haVe been kindly assisted by the community in laying a Memorial belnte the Admiral, and this morning he dispatched the JoNote.frigate for Carthagena to look after British sul:jects and property. What property We had in the town of Carthailena, we understand, was shipped to Aux Cayes, in one of the thirteen vessels, under charge of one of his clerks, and w e expect to hear of its arrival there hourly."
