On Wednesday advises from Carthagena, with Ga. zettes of that city to the 30th ult. and other publica tions in the present month, were received. The em bargo, v.hich had been in force there fur souse time, was Liken 411 at the beginning of this month. Mili tary law .was in force, in wkich duty all the inhabi tants were °cc-Illicit ; among whom also squabbles prevailed as to who should be elected ne.ident. Oa this subject we copy the follcwie.g artiac from the Cwrikuu :Lreareger of tile 1d irritant, which estates : That Dr. Gam Toledo had, by titiftir means, Sot himself named and elected President of Santa ; that the City of Carthagena, indignant at such ll'ction, refused to ratify it for the followini reasoost tiz.—That the said Garcia Toledo had openly an nounced his disapprobation of the Republic declaring gself indtpendent ; that he- was biassed for'certain — min; in favour of Spain ; that he bad abased the (nide:tee which bad been placed in him." l'oltdo was not oily inspected by the Cartlsagi nians-of being favourable to the Government of the lonther.country, but of having numerous partizans in the upper country. The Government of that City therefore, dispatched Bolivar, at the head of an army, with orders to dismiss Toledo from hie- com mand, which he found no difficulty in doing, for ou Na approach to Smite' Fe, Toledo disappeared, andl the inhabitants entered into a capitulation with Bo- Srar, unitise themselves to the state of Carthagena. In Venezuela the Royalist cause has been more stceessfal, having recently obtained possession of toyetol towns ' thereto. We Copy t 6 following from the latest .C.arthageaa papers s • • • 14 'rho' )(Orilla General Morales, havug laid siege to the towd of Malaria, sent the following summons s . :: i. " Inhabitants of Maturin-k-The rapidity _with which the arms of the Spanish Monarchy have sub. dued the several provinces of Venezuela, is a clear proof that DIVINZ PROVIDINCE favours a just cause.

To which Summon: the following Answer was re turned by the Commander in Chief of the Town of Maturin, Den Jose Francisco Bermudez: " Since Maturin has raised tbe standard ofliberty. the valour of its inhabitants be: beeir conspicuous more than once; they have :worn to bury themselves ender the ashes rd. ,their town. rather 'than submit I again to the despotic GOVeTRIllen that for ages hat oppressed them.

We announced on Saturday the arrival of"the SuvrAw, of 74 guns, at Portsmouth, on Thursday from Jamaica. 'the SULTAN having seen part of her convoy from Cork (as stated last week) into Barba- does, she proceeded to Jamaica, with the trade for the Windward Islands, and the 40th regiment under convoy, which was destined to join the expedition against New Orleans, the capital of Louisiana. She sailed again from Port Royal on the 3d of January, with a convoy for the Havannah ; where she found ly. tog the DICTATOR, annie aside, Honourable Captain Caoerow, in the harbour, purchasing and collecting provisions for the British army in Louisiana. She learned that the 'DICTA Ton left Sir ALEXANDER COCURANE near the Mississippi, on the 4th of January, at which time the British army was within live miles of Orleans, preparing for the assault of the town,, which was defended by 15,000 men, under the American General JACKSON i a strong fort was to be attacked before the town could be entered. .....In the operations which had taken place, the army sellbred but little loss a and that was chiefly sustained y 'the 85th and 95th regiments. The Americans were MOH highly exasperated at our success : it was aced attho Havaanals that they heti put. several of our Officers to death, after they fell, as prisoners lopco of war, into 'their bands. Our army was in the lisighest spirits; and., although suffering some depriva tions in their r4tions; from a want of biscuit, Ste. the strictest discipline was preserved i; and but one opi. Lion. -and that the most cnnfident—prevailed, of the *success of the expedition. The naval part of the ope rations was commenced by an attack made • by the bean of the fleet on the ship Louisiana, a floating bat tery, carrying SO guns, and an American flotilla, consisting of five gdn-boats and two schooners; all of which were either captured or destroyed, after an obstinate and. desperate resistance; in which we sus tained a loss of about 90 men, killed and wounded. Captain NICHOLAS LOCICTRR ; of the Smile, who commanded the boats, was among the latter. The SULTAN, on her passage to England, spoke the MANLY in the Gulf of Florida, which left the Mississippi two days after the DICTATOR; at which pa ,.riod the army was within three miles of the town of Orleans, erecting batteries to breach the strong fort mentioned, preparatory to storming the town. The British camp had been annoyed by . an American sloop of war, of 16. guns, which was lying in another l branch of the river; but, after opening a battery of hot shot upon her, the was burnt in ten minutes: It is with considerable gratification we further learn, that previous to.the SULTAN leaving Jamaica, several ships. had sailed from Port Royal with itmplies of I provisions, ordnattee-stores, Stc. for the ;:rmy : the 40th regiment had also proceeded as a reinforceinent. Sir ENwARD PARRNHASI had arrived from England in the STATIItA, and taken the command of the army, which consisted of upwards of 10,000 effective men. The troops which arsemployed upon the Expedi. Lion that arrived from the Chesapeake, under Colonel 'lstoona (who succeeded the late General Ross), con sisted of the 4th, 21st o 44th, and 85th Regiments; these were joined by the lit and sth, West India Re. , . .ginsents at Port Royal : and, subsequentl,o, by the 'forces which left England under Generals (nose Sir GROROS) MIAS and LAISSMIIT.

A con voy was to sail for England en thelst of February, protected by the MAGNIFICENT and litmus& • Thi 1 SULTAN suffered very much on the Ist of Febreary; in a tempestuous gale, near the Banks Of Newlatind. land ; the came in under jury topmasts.

This intelli gence Is generally believed in' the City. A Dutcb Hail arrived this morning the specula tions of the foreign Journalists respecting the con gress of Vienna. are still vague and uncertain. The following are the most interesting extracts: VIENNA, FEBRUARY S. The *termination of the frontiers of Holland, or rather of Belgium on the side of France, seems to he. come one of the most important points of the nego tiation at the Confess. France seeks to circumscribe its much as possible the inflnence of England is the Provinces, or its frontiers; but, on the other kind, Englazid strongly insists on the' aggrandise:mut' of the new Kingdom of Belgium We expect every moment to see tlie Empress of Russia depart ; the travelling equipages of the Em peror Alexander are also ready, as will as those of the othet foreign Sovereigns; their absence will be but of short duration ; in the Spring the Monarchs will meet again at Vienna, to put the last hand to the general pacification. Ix is now reported here that a principal ogject of the mission of the Luke of Wellington, is to lay before . the Congress the deplorable situation of the Spaniards under their fanatic and vindictive King, and to obtain for that people a tate which their noble resistance to the French oppression has so' well de served. It is at the same time intended to prevent the consequences of a voluntary resistance on the part of that people, which might be attended with many other effects calculated to disturb the repose of Europe.

This was an infcwmatiott filed against the defence dant, who was formerly purser of his Majesty's ehift the Rhin, charging him With having fotgild certain docuMents, With intent to defraud WS Majesty.
