Maxwell, which he to be above all eulogy: there was n ot a . • i v.est all his political opponents, who, if he thing of him, did not love him and respect. • g e was one of those quiet characters who resort to theatrical parade and declamation to m tkc animmvssion for political purposes l aTitivlte). He was a man full of simplicity vrzer, of singleness of heart, and sound• I ta l , ment. The Electors of Westminster .arc YOTI:(•aChell fel - having brought that man for , 1 , 2.; ;„: h e was a man against whom the most of :lie opposers could not find a single fault. H e b a d, indeed, been ill used and insulted, but it was rot the feel:ay of the populace that had caused** • ;it was the consequence of a few individuals the rower of speaking and inflaming the minds th , •<2 who would not take the trouble to think—, f•iirmia7 theln for the most detestable of purposes. said the friends of Sir Murray Maxwell perF'e 'who assembled iri the front of the 1. -: r ahsic. outraged and libelled them, and th- 'Mr:irees night appeal to HEAVEN to excuse fmni :or their outrages. They did not act from bad i.earts—they were not influenced by personal aims. e;—.an2 he might be justified in following the Dl - :no .;:i furnished to us in the Scripture, by say- Fither, forgive them, for they know not what r The independent Electors ought only to I contempt for those who play on the feelings of 7 , ;• . :;:z.e. This was not their method of pro -al however they might be charged with tla. Electors, the onl y influence therused thrtitution, and the character of him who tim b, d • f sieknes, Sir Murray Maxwell. 1k then proceeded to pass an -, : •inea on the character of Sir Murray ul earlestly invited the company to • !.1.1 exc.• daily and hourly, in order acct, h: iag Sir Murray Maxwell at the head of poi', the national character might be rescued i•r , m, the odium under which it had laboured. The raNear contest for Westminster had exhibited prin cTles which had nothing to do with the Constitution. rwwever, he would not speak of absent characters— Le would not nine out imputations gratuitously—he was thc friend ce rational liberty. and could safely assert, that the honourable man he then represented, as zealous in its support as any man could be. We'; td attained the present enviable height of our cavil and political liberties by avoiding a civil war, ;‘nd it was the interest and duty of every indepen dent in:livitual to prevent the recurrence of such a , •alamity, by preserving the bar tiers of the Constitu toa against the assaults of a misled and infuriate ilpalace—to behave like the mon who defended the lass cf Thermopyle—few words, but strong actions —Vold appLare). He then proceeded to descant on the indelamdeat character of Sir Murray Maxwell. He had been reviled as the Treasury Candidate ; but he would take upon himself to say for his friend, that there never was a Candidate who had :less treasures: at his comniantl—.(apelmue). He concluded with giving an animated picture of the confusion, . mar city, and deplation which would ensue from a mo bocratic Government, and exhorting the company to return Sit Murray Maxwell, as a man who would eo his utmost to prevent the ascendency of a few despots, whose only object was to reduce the people to the most ahject slavery. He then proposed— • The health of Sir Murray Maiweji," which was drank with great enthusiasm. ^d etiln Mr. Wtttocx now gave the health of Mr. Ellis, vita three times three. Mr. ELLIS, soon afterwards, rose, and returned thanks. Whatever might be the events of his life, he loped he should long continue to deserve the friend nip of Sir Murray Maxwell. • If he had served his arse, which was the cause of his country, he was utisied with that praise, And if ever he obtained a leaf in Parliament, which he did not doubt—(applause) —he would be found to assert in his place, those con tinnicnal and loyal sentiments, which he had assert e.t since he first made his appearance at the hustings k advocacy of his veined friend. • Mr. Ewa then gave " the Lads of the Ocean,' ti.ich was drank with three cheers. Mr. C. TAYLOR sang The Lads of Me Ocean. Captain HATA., in the narn.. of " the Lads of the Ortm," returned thanks. He had only once before addressed a public meeting, and was not therefore tempi:tent to follow the burst of eloqpence which t.ey had lust 1. /.rd from their dignified and elo fluent Chairman. He was confident that . there vas great expenditure in the Navy, which requir 0. to be contrculed, and that it was absolutely necessary to have a Representative in Parliament, • wito, like Sir M - zmy Maxwell, was capable of lay i;:g finger cr. t!tose items which ought to be re that gall rs:t Captain had also endeavoured : . e - ,•cry means in his power, in concert with his trther Officers, to put an end to the practice of inn• 4 anien—vippkuse.)

Ettis now proposed the healths of the Gentle. men who had undertaken the office of supporting Sir Murray Maxwell as Committee-men. He observed, that as a fleneral was nothing without his soldiers, so neither was a Candidate of importance if unassis ted by a Committee. The Gentlemen who supported Sir Murray Maxwell were volunteer's ; yet they sacri ficed their time and comforts with a constancy that might put some regulars to the blush ; and their Cap tain, he must add, was worthy of them. He believed that his gallant friend was independent in the true sense; for he neither feared the frowns, nor courted the smiles of power, while he disdained to deceive the people, by truckling to those who, professing friendship, were the basest of their enemies --(Load cheers.) Such was the character of his gallant friend, and if they wished for an honest man, unpresuming in point of pretensions, who delighted to encounter the enemies of his country on that element where only an Englishman took root, and who scorned their de luders on land, that man, unquestionably, was Sir Murray Maxwell. Mr. HARRIS returned thanks for the honour - that had been conferred on . them in thus noticing their humble but zealous exertions. Saccess was only wanting to be their best reward. The 'CHAIRMAN soon after this quitted the Chair, when one or two Gentlemen addressed the Meeting ; but the* festivity had been previously so great, and the dipposition to good cheer so strong, that the au ditory became exceedingly enthusiastic on the mention of Sir Murray Maxwell's name, the Church and State, and Constitution, and paid.but little attention to the eloquent effusion of a Learned Divine, who addressed them. After a number of convivial songs, the company at a late hour separated. THE EVENING STAR LONDON. WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 1818. THE FUNDS.

The spirit of outrage which has distinguished the populace of Westminster since the beginning of the present electioneering contest, appears to have ex- I lmusted itself in the atrocious excesses of Monday night.—The polling proceeded yesterday with the greatest regularity, and comparatively with some cinittness. No personal violence, as far as we have heard, was offered to any one, and the multitude, less numerous than on most of the former evenings, were content to confine themselves to their old and quite. allowable privilege of hearing those orators only who were to their liking, and hooting down ever); one else. His Majesty's yacht ROYAL SOVEREIGN arrived in Dover Roads yesterday morning, at seven o'clock, from Calais, having on board their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of KENT, who landed at eleven o'clock, under a salute from the battery, and imme diately set off for Claremont, in order to pay their respects to her Royal Highness's brcther, the Prince LzoroLD, where they arrived last night. Their Royal Highr.esses, on their landing at Dover, were .. received by the Officers of the Garrison ar.ci a Guard of Honour from the Depots of the Is and ‘..c.1 Batta 'lions of the Rifle Brigade, and were cheered by a great r.'any La4ies and Gentlemen who were on the pier-heads and quays. Accouuts have been received direct from Chili, to the sth April, which state that the Royalist Expedi tion from Lima had arrived there, and taken posses sion of the whole of that country, to the Complete discomfiture of the Patriots. We have received to-day Charleston Papers to the 10th, Baltimore to the 9th, and New York to the 11th cf Joie. The following are extracts : FROM THE PHILADELPHIA GAZETTE. " LAGUIIIA, NAY H. * Gen. 3forillo has obtained a victory at Coxeder, eleven leagues from St. Carlos, over llauez, who had under his command about 1,500 cavalry, and 600 or 800 infantry, out of tvhich 1,000 men were killed; also 400 horses and three stand of colours taken. The Spaniards lost 100 in killed and wounded. This took place on the 2d ir.stant." " ST. THOMAS'S, MAY 26. " We have the official news here from Caraccas that another battle has been fought on the 11th inst. aheut 20 leagues west of San Carlos, in which both parties seem to have fought with desperation. The Spaniards say that the Patriots are totally defeated, bin acknowledge the loss of many first rate Officers. the Commander-In-Chief engaged, DE LA TonRE, is severely wounded, and his Aid-de-Camp, Colonel VILLAGs, and about 20 Officers killed and wounded. It is said that the pass of Calabosa is again in the hands of the Royalists. The Royal Commander-in- Chief MontLLo, has recovered from his wounds. Bittow and AURY have formed a junction near St. Bartholomew's, at what is called the Five Islands : t hey have new 13 sail: just as BRION got under . , weigh, a Span:sli sqna 'driftt hove in sight, and . after each had Manceuvred a little, tlihy departed diterent ways. It Is 'said MON would fortify Mona for kind of rendezvoui, and Like possession of Louisiana " The following is an extract from a private letter with which we have been favoured from a Gentle man at Pon•Spain, Trinidad, dated loth May, 1818. respecting the present state of affairs between the Royalists and Independents: _ " The strong interest which the two contending parties have Tor concealing the truth, and not giving a faithful account of any of their different skirmishes and actions, in this qnarter of the Continent of America, almost ptevents you getting at the truth and real state of things at all. " A short time since was published at this place a Bull tin. said to have Seen sent from St. Thomas of Angostura, on the Qronoko, giving an account of a successful attack of the Inde pendents, under General Paas, of the division of Lower Apure, on San Fernando, which they carried after a siege of iware as=st pursuing she retreating Royalist force s, they gained se- Veral advantages, and made about 200 prisoner., with seieral officers ; and, together with the capture of San Fernando, about 100 killed, and 400 taken prisoners. A great "minter of cu:- non, swivels, and muskets, with ammunition, &c. fell also into the hands of the Patriots. This account was hardly published here, when another made its appearance, claiming a most de cided victory in favour of the Royalist army, with the capture of the General-in-Chief, &won Bows's!, who, it is said, was alio wounded in the thigh. The Royalist GI MOtaLLO, it is also said, was wounded. " In this place there are Agents for both parties, and there are many adherents for each of them. It is a point of general rendezvous. Not an Independent cruizer has been seen for a long time in this Gulf (Paria), but the Royalists have a consi derable force—two large corvettes, two brigs, two brigantines, several schooners and gun-boats—altogether about 11 or 12 sail. " The Independent squadron, which have been laying for a long time in the Oronolto, dismantled, are now at St. Bartholo mew's, and have Lardy received an accession to their force, by the arrival of a large frigate from America. Their strength is about equal, I should imagine, to that of the Royalists in this Gulf. " Hitherto the advantages gained appear to be nearly equal on both sides, though at scene periods one party has had a de cided superiority : whilst in the space of a few weeks you have seen the opposite party repossess it►elf of all the places they were compailed to abandon, and their arms victorious in every quaff.. ter. Their land forces, I think, appear to be nearly equal, 4 well as their means of offensive and defensive warfare. " The life and spirit of the Independent cause in this quarter of America, seems to rest in their General-In-Chief, &mow Bo crrAlt—a man who lately possessed the most immense fortune of any in all these Kingdoms and Provinces that lit contiguous to our Islands and Colonies in this part of the West Indies : his property was so great, that he even did not know to want amount it was, as he gave himself but little trouble about it Every party contribute highly in speaking of him as one of the most humane and excellent priirate characters that any country or nation could boast of. He forfeited all by espousing the cause of freedom, so much so, that he did not even save what real)* money he was master of. " The Marqtis of Tozer, who also povesxd an immense pro perty in these parts, forfeited all by joining the Patriot cause; and be is now in this Island, cultivating a small Cocoa Estate, as a means of subsistence. " Since this letter was begun. a vessel direct from : Angostura, on the Oronoko, the whole of which belongs to the Independents, gives the following account : that a very sanguinary action took place on the 29th March, between the two parties, about tOO miles from Caraccas; the fight began in the morning. and did not end till four in the afternoon, when both armies retired for want of water : that General Moms.° was wounded In the leg and grain, and not expected to live ; and that the advanced posts of General Bouvet were at San Carlos, about 300 miles from the city of Caraccas. From all I can collect, neither party ap pear to have gained much for the last twelve months. Their successes and reverses are nearly equal." Monday evening her MAJE3TY rode out in her garden-chair, in hew Gardens. On her return to the Palace, she was joined by the Duke and Duchess of CANIBBIDGF and the Pnts:cf: REGENT, who nad just arrived front London. Yesterday morning the Phy sicians gave the following fivourable account of her state :—" Her MAJESTY has had a good night, and is better to-day." The Duchess of GLOVCESTER left London Yester day morning, to spend the day with her Royal lotlier. Yesterday the Grand Duke AIICHAEL and suite went to view the chairing of Mr. t7at.vEna: and Sir ROBERT WitsoN, in the Borough. THEATRT.—The Opera of Dnn Giovanni was last niSht performed with its wonted success. Miss Ilt , ciiirs resumed the arduous character of Elvird, after a long and sevete illness, and displayed her great powers and exquisite science to the admi ration of the brilliant circle. All the other parts were sustained as usual, and it is but common justice to observe, that it would be difficult to place them in more able or effective hands.. Dui:ay-LA NE.—This Theatre closed for the Season last night. The performances were for the benefit of Mr. SPRING, and we were happy to witness a nu merous display of distinguished Fashionables on the occasion. After the Play the following Address was delivered by Mr. H. JOHNSTON : " Lams ma) GIVIZITMEN—This evening being fixed upon to terminate the season of Dramatic Performances at this Theatre, permit me most respectfully to return you thanks for that share of your patronage you have so kindly condescended to bestow on our zealous endeavours to merit your applause. I can truly assert, that the efforts of the Drury-lane Company, both collec tively aed individually, have been most liberally honoured with the approbation of a generous and discriminating Public, always their most gratifying reward. I now, Ladies and Gentlemen, for myself and the Company in general, beg leave once more to offer our sincere thanks, and to assure you, that although the success of the present has been, from the peculiar circumstances of the times, less in point of emolument than that of some pre ceding seasons, our exertions will not be relaxed during the recess, and we hope with confidence to meet our patrons with a prospect of the success it will ever be our most anxious study to deserve at your hands, and we most respectfully take our leave till the next season:":—(Applause.) The entertainments at Covent Garden Theatre this evening are for the benefit of Mr. BRANDON, whose, polite attentions and, gentlemanly conduct on all! occasions well entitle him to that manifestation of public favour which we hope he will experience this evening.
