The last accounts from the eastern part •of Vene zuela state, that General Morillo left in the island of Margarita, a gatrison of .500 men, the same num ber in the province of Cumana, and different detach ments besides along the coast. The General left no Spanish troops in Barcelona, where he was appre hensive of great sickness; he proceeded to Caraccas with the rest of the Spanish troops, and having landed at Lagityra on the 10th of June, he esta blished his head-quarters in the city of Valencia. Two divisions et cavalry composed of about 1,000 men each, under the orders of the patriot chiefs Za raza and Sedan , harass the province of Barcelona ; they have already had several engagements with the Spanish troops, the most decisive are those of San &ego and Aragua. In the first action the Spaniarch were cut to pit ces, but they received a very consider able reinforcement after the action, in consequence of which the Venezuelan troop;, which had suffacd a good deal, were obliged to abandon their position, but which they effected without loss. In the second action the patriot chief Zaraze took possession of the city of Barcelona, and removed , Mont it every descripti in of warlike stores. , These details have been given by two judges of Barcelona, commissioned by the Seaaiards to pur chase flew in St. Thomas, which.they did not sue teed in accomplishing, as they offered produce in payment at an enormous price. By a vessel arrived from Cumana at St. Thomas, it is announced, that a body of Patriots, amounting to about 700 men, had attacked that city, killed and wounded a number of the Spanish troops, and had made erver4l pr i soners . Vesstis arrived at St. Thomas in June, announce that the Venerrelean troops were in possession of the province of Varinas, that the Spanish chief Caizado had beets defeated near San Carlos, and was obliged to retire with the remainder of his force to Valencia ; that General Morillo then continued in Valencia, and that the wounded were sent in daily, as also these font Caraccas to the hospitals in Porto Cabello, l where all men capable of working were constantly employed on the tottitications, and that the artillery and warlike stores wire ordered to he transported from every other point to Porto Cabello. The inhabitants of Curinpe and the Savannas of Ocunaaro, had risen in favour of the independent 'cause. All the money brought from Spain, for the use of Morillo's expedition, WAS lost on board of tie Spanish , ship ef the line, the San Pedro. when the blew up. The general contribution, which has larely.been f levied, has disgusted the Spa r,iards themselves, who now publicly say, that the ccuntry is lost to them. By a letter from Maracaibo it is known, that the in:abitatits of . the provinces of Merida and Truxillo, were in a state of insurrection in favour of the patriot cause, and prey: nted the usual supplies of provi-, s'ous from eptetilig Maracaibo, which both alarmed and distressed the inhabitants of that c ity. The f hawing are the details of the actions which have takes] place between the Vertezuekan troops and those of Gioerai Morino, since the aeneral evaduat r ed the island of Margarita, communicated by 'Don Francisco Fernandez and Dun Carlos Ruiz, arrived at St. Thomas, hoot kVirceloria On th e 3d of May the patriot chief Zaraza at tacked, with a division of about $OO cavalry, the Spanish chief Curtin, who commanded a numerous force at Santa Rosa, wilcte the spaniards were de feated; about the. same period, • the patriot com mandant Monagas, with about 6O( men, advanced to Finical, two leagues from the city of Barcelona, and the inhabitants of Capaya, the river Puy, and other parts, proceeded to Quayavo, where they at tacked the Spanish force, which lost on this occasion, in killed and • prisoners, about 500 men, and 300 wounded, who were,conducted to the Spanish head -siiartcri, Porto Cabello. All the natives, of every description, have ep tody abastioned the Spanish cause. ri Tbe yanguaid . ol General Morales army, corn• rnanded by Morales, late second in command'under B owes , was defeated by The patriots, between San Cartes and liarcinisimeto, and the Spani s h soldiers, be greatest dirirder, exclaimed— , that they bad peps? ,deceived, as they had beep Jed to Understand, when they left Spain, that they were coming to. America merely tp ,serve in garrisons, flu.? Th e g p ‘ o ii r ds wounded in this action, were transp orted in grpit 'tomboys ty yAiefici4..

" All the artillery , and warlike stores hove already been transported, fnow Caraccas and Laguyra to. Porto Cabello, which is • fortilying in the strongest manner and with the utmost activity. " It is certain that there ate ;$,;30Z1 cavalry in the eastern part of Venezitela under the orders of the patriot chiefs, Zaraz evfonagas, Cedno, Ribero), and Baraso, and that the territories of Pao, Tinaco, and Locuyite, are its consequence in great consterna tion ; many of the coloured troops live been shot, and they will no longer acknowledge any Spanish" chief, not even their former favourite, Morales. Upwards of twenty Spanish Capuchin Friar; pe. rished on board of the San Pedro, when she blew up. They were sent out from Spain, in c o nsequence of a new arrangement; whereby no native priest can now hold a living of 800 dollars a-year or upwards in the possessions. Such livings in America, are all re served now for the cafe:wed friars of Spain. " Nor can any native of America he admitted as a lawyer, or act in future, in that capacity, without havingbeen received in Spain. So that cargoes of Spanish lawyers, &c. are to be imported into the Spanish colonies. GL'CMAN PAPERS.

He has also claimed the tomb of Cherie magne, which is likewise the property of the town of Aix-la.C.bapelle. Great difficulties arise in finding the treasures of literature that have been carried off. The search is, however, diligently prosecuted. Of the books taken from the Abbey of Prum, the va luable Codex Areas which is ornamented with many jewels, and is valued by the French librarians at two hundred thousand francs, has been found in the li brary, and will be taken away. There have also been found fifty.two volumes of the crlebra ted col lection of engravings belonging to Cologne. which the Prussian General Intendant has also taken away- FRANKFORT, Private letters from Paris say, that the Allied Powers, in reference to the approaching Treaty of Peace, would, before they left Paris, sign a declara tion, according to which they would not be satisfied with the cession of Alsace and Lorraine, but desire still more. It is also stated, that it has been deter mined to reduce by force all the French fortresses th.it are not yet occupied, and to keep them, till there is nothing more to fear from France. SEPTEMBER lb.—Her Imperial Highnessthe Grand Duchess Catherine of Russia, Grand Duchess of. Oldenburg, arrived here to-day. Baron Jacoby Klost, Prussian Minister at the English Court, arrived here from Berlin the day before yesterday, and proceeded yesterday to Paris. BERLIN, SEPTEMBER 9. The French Government had confiscated, in 1809, the funds that formerly belonged to• the Jesuits of Erfurt, the value of which was above 100,000 crowns, as well in capital as inianded property. What iced be realised passed into the bands of persons who are ur.knolan. The King has ordered the revenues of these funds to be applied to -the support of the Ca tholic schools and their teachers. VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 6. According to the last accounts received from Paris, the departure of his Majesty the Emperor, which was fixed for the 10th, is again put off, which is said to be occasioned by several obstacles that have de. layed the negotiations, which were nearly finished, among which the troubles in the South of France are especially mentioned. It is added, that the diplo matists of ill the powers become more and more convinced, that the Royal House of Bourbon, even with the best intentions, will hardly be able to afford a durable guarantee for the repose of France and Europe, unless some of the most important frontier provinces and fortresses remain entirely in possesion of the Alliei. Some pretend to know that the nego. ciations are now carrying on in this different view of the subject, and upon these bases. The happicst re sult is expected, because England is affirmed parti. cularly to insist upon the demands, which are .sup. ported by the popular opinion in all countries. Upon the news of the delayed departure of the % Sovereigns, the journey of the Empress, who was to set out on the 9th, by way of Bavaria and Switzer land, to Turin, to wait there for the Emperor, is now put off till the end of the month. Immediately after the grand review of the Austrian army near Dijon, the 2d Laudwehr battalions, the reserve cavalry, and all the frohlier regiments, will begin their march home, chiefly to Gallia' and 110. hernia; the number of troops returning is estimated at above 15%000. lfor some days past the have been busy in the IMperial mint coining ducats into coronation medals, which are to be dis tributed at Milan. To judge, indeed, by all the preparations, our Court intends to chew itself to its Italian subjects, in a splendour hitherto without example; the coronation and the act of doing ho mage will be performed with the greatest pomp. The number of persons attached to the Court, who are ordered to Italy, may be reckoned at 600; even the whole of the Hungarian Noble Guard, with Count Zichy, their Colonel, will accompany the Court.

THE 4Amr. R AIfSGATE, Si*T: 21.—We regret to announce the Lording here of a British Officer from Ostend, under arrest and in irons, said to have entered the French army, and taken at the glorious Battle of Waterloo. He is a fine looking young man, and appeared in diffelent as to his disgraceful situation. The cause assigned for his traitorous conduct is from having, when in the Peninsula with the immortal Wewsu- Tot:, undergone a Court-Martial, the sentence of which inflicted a severe, though merited. wound upon his honour as an Officer and a Gentleman. The offence he has now been guilty of, we are happy to reflect, it of a rare and almost unheard of description in the Bridal Army. COURT MARTIAL Hesse GUARDS v AUOUST 9.

Upon which charges the Conn came to the follow ing decision; The Court having most maturely weighed the ewi. dence on the part of the prosecution, with what the prisoner, PaymasterJAmes CoLu ea. of the 21st Light Dragoons, has. stated in his detinice, is of opinion, as follows : The Court is of opinion that he is guilty of the first charge.

From the sprit that pervades this Letter, a favourable inference respecting the character Bishop. In his memorial it would appear had expressed hi:lna( as became a loyal grateful for the qua/ protection secured to the sion of his religious opinions by the new Consu conferred on the new kingdom, and the such as might be expected front an enl'g' nava determined to govern ite.r.ordirsg to the We have of late seen some laboured pro, written to prove that it is necessary for e - c - the Monarchies and the good of the peupie, what these writers call a respectable, that ' deprived of all gloss, an expensive ecclesialt. tablishment should be maintained in their territories. Could we enter upon the subject sent, we think it would not be difficolt to the very calamities which have shook the Europe to their foundations, may all be to the expensive ecclesiastical establishmet they bad respectively maintained. Whenever wherever the emoluments of Churchmen tinily high to tempt the cupidity of worldll the benefice will be coveted by those who cc to be yams, by men who nominal& take the sheieed, but actually the care of the jam is thus brought into contempt with the mass people, who cannot distinguish between a his profession. Their logic is short, st If be bad, the religion which he professes must Even those Who count themselves well informed„ apt, though unreasonably, to identify Chriaiwq with the men who call themselves its Ministers. M expensive establishment is therefore always injuro to real religion and dangerous to the State.
