One of the passengers who was on board the brig Emmeline, of this Port, at the time that vessel upset off Grenada, arrived here on Tuesday. He states, that he left the Island of Margarita on the 15th July, in an open boat, accompanitd by the Mate, and three of the crew of_ the said vessel—that on the 17th, passing Carrupano, they fell in with a brig under English colours, which hailed them, and ordered them on board ; she proved to be the Maria, of Gre nada, commanded by Captain Wood, who informed them that it was an English brig employee. in the Spanish service, and had on board upwards of 100 men of that nation—that he (our narrator) and the Mate were conducted on shore by the Captain, for the purpose of being examined before the Comman• dant of Carrupano, who, after having detained them for some time, permitted them to return to the brig; that, about ten o'clock, P. at. of the same day, the Mate and the three sailors were again ordered on shore, where they were detained loy the Spanish Commander, on Captain Wood declaring that he supposed them to be spies belonging to the Incorgcnts. AU the entreaty of these unfortunate men, who pro tested their innocence of the charge:. laid against them, .proved totally ineffectual ; and our informant has every reason to believe they have either been mur dered or confined in some pri:an. Captain Wood detained the passenger on board ; and, about mid night, set sail for St. Eustatia, where he landed his cargo, and whence our informant made his escape, and - proceeded to this Island. PRIV4TE LETTER. " mtrrEmsta 16,1818. " It is expected that the combined operations of General Marino with General Bermudez will com mence along the coast in a few days. The former is at Matut in, with 1500 men, and the latter at Guiria, with about 400, but their troops are increasing daily with the dispersed Patriots. Bermudez only landed with 80 men, having been disappointed of 200 at Barancas, which by mistake marched to join Marino. His decision in not waiting for them, and his valour in the attack, insured the complete success of the enterprise in the capture of the enemy's flotilla, and cince he took the place, he has bean joined by all those who were in their retreats in the mountains.-- The Patriots have only occupied as yet, Guiria, Zrapa, ar.d Yaguaraparo. The Spaniards are at Rio Caribes, Carapano, and Cariaco, in small force. Cumana is their principal garrison, and the great object of the Patriots. General Bolivar, it is reported, will com mand the attack upon this in person, unless circum stances vary. Monagas commands in the Limos, or plains, of Barcelona. Cedeno, with Saraza, second in command, is acting about the Hogaza and Cala bozo. Paez, Commander in Chief of all the Limnos, has his head-quarters at St. Fernando, and his Guer rillas every where. The Spaniards are at Villa de Cure, Valencia, Valleys de Aragua, Caracas, and along the coast as far as Cumana, and thence to Rio Caribes, and occasionally push a party of cavalry %to the Lianas. fi-cim whence Morales, who had oc cupied anew C.alabozo, was driven by the severe loss he experienced et Guayabal. gi In Awn, the want .of awns and ammunition alone caused General Bolivar to retrograde, and lost him the opportunity of arming • the great numbers *ho tendered their services during the last campaign. These deficiencies have since been amply supplied, and fresh succours are pouring in daily, as well from the United States, as Europe. The cause of freedom is united with the interests of the world, and this in defatigable and undaunted asserter of his country's rights, has. united Venezuela and New Granada in support of them, at the same time that he has acquir ed confidence abroad. The arrival of the American Envoy at Angostura, has produced an electric spark far and near. BUENOS AYRES, CHILI, PER U. TRANSLATION or A LETTER !ROM RIO JANEIRO, DATED AIJOUST 20, 1818. 48 ' Artgas has gradually lost his ascendancy, and and therefore his best friends leave him, one after the man% All his men, which are now reduced to the small number of eight hundred, are at present Cooped up by the Portusiese General Curado, between the points of the Qu , his retreat to Entrevios having been cut off b) . 0 11% occupation of the Uraguay.— Colonia del Sacramento is in the hands of the Portu guese for these two months. It is no place of impor tance, yet it seems that the Portuguese, recollecting what it was for them in the last century, intend to fortify it in a respectable manner. " The relations between the Court of Brasil and the Government of Buenos Ayres continue on a friendly footing. There is at present no appearance of any interruption of the good understanding, al though in case of a hostile disposition on either side, the very important victory gained in Chili, and the reduced power of Artigas, might diSpose both parties towards a rupture, and the fertile province of Entre rios might prove the apple of discord. " In Chili the combined armies are completing their organization ; their first exploit will be the re daction of Talcahuano, held by a small number of Royalists ; the rainy season prevents at present any large body of troops to be dispatched by land for that service, but possibly the naval forces of Chili may fulfil that object, even before the return of dry weather. " The execution of the twokerothers Carrera, the third remaining in exile, has made an impression on their party in Chili, Which consists of the promoters of anarchy and confusion. The influence which Buenos Ayres possesses in the Government of Chili, and the brilliant achievements of General San Mar tin, must keep that party in check. " In the Peruvian provinces things remain nearly in state quo. General Belgrano still occupies Tucu man with three thousand regulars, and it is thought that he will not change his system of harassing the Royalist General Cerna by the Guerillas, until the naval armament in Chili can strike the blow on Lima, when the revolution in this part of America will as sume a more important character." KINGDOM OF THE NETHERLANDS. OPENING OF THE SESSIONS Or ism STATES GENERAL OF VIE NETHEit LANDS. BRUSSELS. OCTOBER so. His Majesty left the Royal Palace at one o'clock, in his carriage, accompanied by a numerous and brilliant suit. On his arrival at ,the Hall where the two Chanibets were assembled, his Majesty was re ceived by Mr. Ruell, who is appointed President of the first Chambet for the present Session. His Mit jesty having seated himself on the Throne, having the Prince of Orange on his right and Prince Fre derick on his left, and the Great Officers of the Household, &c. behind and about theThrono, deli vered the following Speech, in the Dutch Language: a Huai AND MIGHTY LORDS, " My House has received in the course of this vear new marks of the Divine protection, by the birth of. a second son of my* beloved eldest Son, the Prince of Orange. Upon this occasion the inhabitants of the Netherlands have given unequivocal proofs that they consider this event as another pledge of happi ness for their descendants. Let them he persuaded that I and my children will always iook upon as the dearest o 1 our duties, to inspire our successors with tnat love which we feel for our subjects, and the solicitude which we have for their interests. a I have the sa , icfact.'on to be able to communi , sate to your high Mightinesses, at the moment when you are commencing your labours, that DIVINE PRO VIDENCE has preserved repose in Europe. If, after the happy restoration of peace, the stationing of an Army of Occupation in France was judged neces sary to consolidate the tranquillity re-established there, the resolution of the Allied Sovereigns, which puts an end to the occupation, and orders this army to be withdrawn, proves that the object proposed has been attained ; and affords, in the unanimous confidence of the Sovereigns on this point, the best guarantee of a durable peace. " The internal situation of the kingdom gives us fresh reasons for gratitude to the ALmiourv. " The Universities, the Atbenzums, and the Col leges, .are organized, and in activity. Constant at tention is paid to the means of rendering these estab lishments still more brilliant and useful. The local authorities, even individuals, most laudably second the efforts of the Government here to prepare and establish primary instruction, then to extend and perfect it. The last year has afforded the sorest and most valuable pledges of the revival of the Fine Arts in the Netherlands. Several branches of industry still feel the influence of events which has produced such important changes in transactions and interests of all kinds ; but agriculture, on the other hand, is in the most favourable situation. Its rich productions, contribute, no less than navigation, and the increa sing commercial relations with the Indies, to give to, commerce that life anil activity, of which the evi dently increasing prosperity of several large towns, and other interesting parts of the kingdom, is the visible consequence and proof. a The situation of the poor is ameliorated, the na tural beneficence of the nation has been directed with the most laudable zeal to its true object. The useful institutions of Loan and Saving Banks extend more and more. The depots of mendicity are become more numerous. " Your High Mightinesses will find the prcject of the laws which will be laid before you for the budget of the next year. The necessary dispositions for the maintenance of foundling children, and the want of uniform rules, have often caused uncertainties to arise relatively to the place where the indigent has a right, not to be succoured, but to partake in the suc cour that exists—l have desired that a law, tending to fix this place by precise and just rules, shall also be laid before your High Mightinesses. " Some corrections of boundaries hare been regu lated in concert with the Provincial States, and will be laid before your High Mightinesses. " It will net be long before the liquidation of the Debts of the Communes is entirely terminated ; the establishment of municipal imposts awaits to be com pleted and generalized only by the law, which will he laid before your High Mightinesses, relative to the penalties of trangress►ons, and the mode of per secution. " The regular execution of the law upon the Mi litia meets with few or no difficulties. This is espe• cially owing to the good-will with which the Militia men fulfil their duties; the number of those whom it is necessary to summon to complete the contingent, becomes smaller every year. With the intention, however, of accomplishing more and more the safety of the kingdom, and the interests of the Exchequer, some modifications of the existing law will be pro posed to your High Mightinesses. " The confidence with which your Assembly sanc tioned the last law on the Finances, has given general satisfaction. The opening of a considerable loan has been followed in the space of a few days by offers which exceeded double its amount. " Sensible to this proof of good-will and ability, depending on the perfectly re-established credit of the State, at ease respecting the state of the Treasury, certain that all the obligations contracted could be punctually performed, we have been encouraged to introduce even how all possible savings, and to pie pare those which may be so in the sequel. " The Budget for the next year will shew your High Mightinesses how far the efforts of the Govern ment have succeeded in this respect. You will find M the formation of it the attempt already announced of a division of expenses into ordinary and extraor dinary, and though it contains new sums, which are placed in it in consequence of the new measures of finance which you lately adopted, the sum 'total is inferior to tht of the current year. "It is agreeable to me to be able to. announce to you, at the same time, that according to the ac counts which will be laid before your High Mighti nesses, and admitting an equal saluation in the pro. duce of the taxes to that of the current year, the Boni of the anterior Exercises is sufficient to place the Budget of Receipts on a level with the disbursement of the ensuing year. " In order to obtain this desirable result ; spine Le gislative measures will be proposed to your High Mightinesses. I expect the adoption of them with the more confidence, as they arc of a nature to convince all those who are interested in the situation of the finances of the State, that the measures already taken and those which remain to be taken on this subject, must be counted among the first objects of our soli citude for the public good. These laws will also con cur to realize my ulterior views with respect to what remains to be done, to balance in future the expenses and the revenue. In a fixed and regular state c? things, the greater part of the sums required is indis pensible to attain the knowledge of those which are of another nature : I have felt the necessity of having all the details examined. This examination, however, requires much time, and if we will have it made with the wislieJ-fur care and attention, all precipitation would be dangerous--it is carrying on with activity, and by perseverance, I hope with confidence that is will be perfectly matured, and that my express de sires on this head will be accomplished. " Other important subjects will likewise be laid before you this session. I hope in the next to be enabled to present to your High Mightinesses the projet of a code of laws for the Netherlands. ". And now, High and Mighty Lords, I open the present Session, expressing my ardent wishes and my entire confidence that it will present more and more the characters of a conformity of views between the King and the States-Gel:el al, the most proper to in crease the prosperity of the kingdom and the welfare of its inhabitants." The King returned to his Palace in the same order as he came. The majesty of the ceremony, the ele • fiance and beauty of the (new) Hall, the presence of the Ministers, the Chancellors of the Orders, the Counsellors of State, and the D:plomatic Body, the' number of Latl.ies and Fersons of distinction who filled the galleries, concurred to heighten the splen dour of the Royal Sitting. The Second Chamber adjourned till eleven o'clock to-morrow morning. Tl:e Government is making great efforts to im prove the port of Ostend. About one thousand work me:i are employed in digging and in making a sluice to regulate the ebb and flow, which will render this port more safe, and greatly facilitate the communi cations between Belgium and England.
