By this con veyance private letters have been received from Carac cas, of the Ist of that month, stating that BOLIVAR had received the letters from the Colombian bondholders, to which he would give an answer on a future slay.-- BOLIVA R had issued an arbitrary Decree, dated the 9th of March, and promulgated on the 30th of April, regu lating the loading of shipping according to their ton nage, under the pretence of preventing smuggling : the dunes to be paid in hard dollars.—At the above date, BOLIVAR was in the Caraccas. It appears by accounts from Paris this morning, that the Chamber of Deputies were to adjourn or. Saturday, and were not to assemble again until they fiitally closed the Session. They also mention that there is to be a new creation of Peers to be taken from the Deputies, and that the Chamber of Deputies will be dissolved. The Park Papers, which reached us last night in due coarse, are extremely barren of news. The French Government, it appears, is going to augment its naval means in the Mediterranean, under the pretence of keeping a check on the Algerines, who are said to have evinced of late an unfriendly disposition towards the subjects of that Power. Whether this be the real pretence or not, we do not think that the measure itself ought to excite the slightest uneasiness. If we were to hazard an opinion ourselves on the subject, we should say that it was connected with the ne gociations now pending at Constantinople, which the Court of the Thuilleries is no doubt anxious to see brought to a prompt and favourable conclu sion, not from any diblike towards the Turks or their policy, but from sheer apprehension of the spirit,' union, and energy, now displayed by the Greeks: the movement, now going on in Greece, must inspire the Reach Cabinet, in common with the other great Powers of the Continent, with presentiments, by no . means agreeable or tranquilizing. Hamburgh Pipers to the 2d inst. arrived this morn ing; from which we have made the subjoined extracts: ST. PETERSBURGH, May 19. His Majesty has appointed Count Kot►cbuberg to be President of the Council of the Empire, and M.Von Olenin, the Secretary of the Empire, to be Member of the Council. M. hlartschet,ko, Secre tary of State, is to take the office of Al. Olenin. The day before yesterday the Emperor went to Cronstadt,viewed the fleet and the improvements in the fortifications, and went in the evening on board a steam-boat to Oraninabaum. STOCKHOLM, MAY 22. Last Thursday his Majesty held an extraordinary Chapter of tha Orders, the object of which, however, was not to increase, but to diminish the number of the Knights ; for it is affirmed, that a former Swedish General, who is at present abroad, and a former Swedish Major, were struck off the list or Knights. On the sth, a terrible avalanche destroyed at Sondinoer, in Nor way, all the buildings of a farm, and 56 boats. The vast mass of snow falling into the lake caused it to overflow its banks, and inun date all the surrounding country, by which great damage was done. MAY 2s. In consequence of a Royal Ordinance, the annual revisal of the Schools, which should begin in the Autumn, is deferred for this year, because, just at that time, the great Committee for the revisal of all the Establishments of Education in the Kingdom will meet. BERLIN, Mae 50. Our Papers contain long accounts of the fetes on the marriage of Prince Charles to the Princess of Weimar. Above 300 ships laden with corn, are aground on the sandbank in the river Bog, in the kingdom of Poland, on account of the shal lowness of the water. There is no means of remedying this, but letting off the water in the neighbouring ponds and lakes, as was practised in 1511 and 1815. Prince Joaquim has arrived here nom St. Petersburgb ; and Count Balmaine, Aid-de-Camp to the Emperor of Russia, has passed through here, on his way front London to St. Petersburgh with dispatches. fits Majesty has sent to N.

Last Sunday a journ yman weaver, named aniatian Hermann, animated by religious fanaticism, immediately after Divine Set vice in the Catholic Chapel in the Palace, and just as the Duke and Duchess had left Church, ascended the steps of the altar, took from it two candlesticks, and dashed them on the ground,hut was seized by the person+ present, and hindered from committing further r:cese•. In order to prevent any tniwepierentation of this oceurw ore, we are authorised, aa)s the Gerztte, to publish the above particular, and to add, that No other person has tsken any part in this scan dalous action, which excited general indignation among the Pro- itesteat Inhabitants of this capital. The criminal himself, a lamentable victim of the rodeo's hatred which has latterly been so violently inflamed, is in prison. FRANKFORT, May 27. Lord C(yngham, who is attached to the British Legation at the Austrian eourt, arrived here to day, horn London. • We are assured the Duke of WILLLINGTON having been asked whether the ±tatement respec.ing himself, in a M. rning Paper of Thursday last, was correct ? an• swered, that the person who made that statement knew it to be false.—Post. The agricultural amendments, or improvements, in the Corn Bill, adopted on Friday evening by the House of Lords, created a great se.tsation yesterday on the Corn Exchange, and although it was con sidered impossible that their Lordships sill not retrace their steps, when these alterations are re ported to the whole House for its sar.ction; still, the 'edit% of doubt was so considerable, and the want of confidence so much more considerable, that flour ad vanced ss. per sack, and fine Wheat fully 3. per quarter. Yesterday afternoon, at ten minutes before five o'clock, the KING left town, in his travelling carriage, for his Royal Lodge, in Windsor Park.

Two Orders in Council were received yesterday at the Custom-house, the consequences of which will be important. A short time ago the Sugar Refiners ad dressed Government on the subject of the exceedingly small supplies of Muscnvades in the market, and represented the necessity, to their operations of foreign sugars, not cloyed, being admitted fur sale. The prayer o this Petition has been granted, on the condition that, the Refiners pay a duty on foreign sugar refined by them, of 2s. per cwt. above that paid on British Plantation Sugar, and that they enter into a bond to l export a quantity of refined sugar corresponding with eir consumption of foreign sugar. This regulation has our unqualified approbation; it is founded on the' enlightened principles of Commerce adopted now for several years by his Majesty's Ministers. It can do no injury to our own Planters, for they are at present unable to supply the raw material requisite to the ex ecution of foreign orders for refined sugars, and it will give full employment to the extensive capital embarked in the refining sugar trade. The other 0. der in Council relates to rice ; it reduces the duty on this article, im ported from our own possessions in India, Is. per cwt. and it increases the duty, imposed on rice imported to i m the United States of North America, 6J. per cwt. We know not what the citiz •ns of America will think of this preference given to the produce of our own Colonies, but we do know that their conduct has ren dered the re,ttiction not only proper, but absolutely ne essary. They ate as yet may an infant nation; they have no great experience in political economy, and they tequite to be taught that England wants no intercourse with them which is not perfectly reci procal. We can find tire, lumber, and cotton wool, without any obligation to their agricultural labour; and we do hope that Government will impose some further restrictions on American cotton, in favour of that grown in our own Asiatic and Colonial possessions, until the principles of reciprocal trade be' acted on by all independent nations. To consume the produce of any nation is doing, and not receiving, a favour ; and when any cohimunity solicits commercial intercourse with us, it should only he granted on the principles of reciprocity. THE CROYDON CANAL.--Yesterday a General Meet ink of the Shareholders of the Croydon Canal was held at the George and Vulture Tavern. THOMAS CoLas, Esq. took the Chair. The Report presented but a gloomy prospect. Toe income during the last year was only 3,6341. and the expenditure left them but a balance of 1961. in the hands of the banker. La.t year the balance, alter the year's expenditure, was 3881. and it had been getting worse since the prec ding year, when it a as 5001. The Chairman said, that they had tried the addition of a Rail Road, which had been expensive, and produced nothing : they had also lost much money in boring for springs, in which they had been eq rally unsuccesstul.— Tnis year they had succeeded in tapping a powerful ',Firing at Leshurst, which he thought would be adequate to the supply of water. Several Slareholders said they were quite tired rf subscribing any more to the Canal; not alter considerable discussion, it was agreed that the ortcein should go on !or a year longer, but no further rise was to be incutrt.d. THE QUEEN OF WURTEMBERO. The town cf Greenwich, yesterday, presented a scene of animation, arising from the prepa'rations makingfo: the reception of the thiwager Queen of WURTIMIIIIRG. The wotkmen *vete bustly employed at the landing place in laying down scarlet cloth, &c. At seven o'clock, the LAID HIGH ADMIRAL arrived for the purpose of receiving his ILLUSTRIOUS RitLATIVII.

In the year 1635, when King JAMes the Seems succeeded to the Throne, a motion was made in the House of Commons, and put to the vote, " Whether his Majesty should be permitted to employ Popish officers in his army, or not ?" This important question, on which the supremacy of the Protestant or Popish religion seemed to depend, came to a single vote, and was carried in favour of the former by a singular circumstance. A courtier, who was appointed to watch every Member that had any employment under the King, observed one who had a regiment about to vote against the Court. He therefore stepped up to him, and put him in mind of the slender tenure by which he held his regiment. "I do not value my command," said the Member, " since my brother died last night, and left me reven hundred pounds a-year." 'finis single vote gained the majority in favour of Protestantism. 1-MONJAY. VAUXHALL GARDENS. This delightful place of public entertainment opened last night for the season. During the 'recess, the Pro : The military b an d prietors have made several alterations in the Garde ns . The Concert is performed as heretofore, in the ori g i na l orchestra, in the open air. The following was the o r d er o theevening eight o'clo c k. ' l r. il. BLACKKORR then performed his astonishing evolu pflatyheeda from half of a past e ten u ti Ins on the slack rope. The Company at half-pa s t eight o'clock adjourned to the Rotunda, where a new Comic Opera was performed, entitled Actors d Fresco, or the Play in the Plea,uie Grounds... the music principally composed by Messrs. T. Ccoxe, BLRWITT, and HORNE. The principal characters by Mr. and Mrs. FITZWILLIAM. Miss GRADDON, Mr. Hoax, &c. The plot is possessed of little interest, but with the comic exertions of Mr. FITZ*ILLIAI4, and a new performer named %Voutaos, from the Bristol Theatre, aided by the excellent singing of Miss GRADDON and Mrs. FazwiLLlnsi, the piece went off very well. :lie fireworks, by Messrs. SolmisT and IYERNEST, are UN. usually splendid; but, in obedience to the late order of the Magistrates, on the renewal of the licence, they were let off at 11 o'clock. 'Die' Concert then coin. menced, in which several very excellent Comic Songs were sang by Miss GRADDON, Mrs. AUSTIN, Mrs. FITZ. WILLIAM, &c. The usual Military and Scotch Bands enlivened the company by plying several favourite airs. The remainder of the Amusements were similar to those of the last Season. The Pi oprietors have in pre paration a spectacle of an extraordinary nature, intended as a representation of the battle of Waterloo, on a scale of the greatest magnitude, and which wBI speedily be announced. The whole entertainments of the evening were such as will ensure to the Proprietors a continua tion of that liberal patronage and support from the Public which they have hitherto received. COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. At this Theatre, the entertainments for the holiday folks, consisted of the new Spectacle of Pete► Wilkins, the laughable little comedy of Charles the Second, and the last pantomime of Mother Shipton. and Riquet with the Tuft. Tt.e glum and gasorses flew in the Easter spectacle with as much ski►l and grace, and the monster of Mr. E. J. PA LISLOZ was as frightfully amusing as ever. Kczsv and POWER were both in high spirits, and played with the best effect. The houte was between them in one continued course of merri ment. Mos. ViIIING deserves the warmest pra se fur the admirable manner in which she sustains the part of Peter Wilkins. In tl e second piece, Fisurcerr weal supported the credit he has acquired by his performance of Captain Copp. Nothing could be snore excellent than his acting after the discovery of the Royal scapegrace. Kamm.' and Jonas were also in their must joyous hu mours. The pantomime went off with great applause, though, to cur surfs' ise, in one or two instances, the machinery failed. The galleries were crowded to es. cess, and, according to custem, very noisy ; and the pit was nearly filled. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. The Holiday amusements at this very entertaieing Theatre commenced last night with the Spectacle of Spain and t-ortugal, which has been so often represented with applause, and upon which as much gunpowder has been expended ae, with the help of a proportionate quantity of lead, if used upon the Apostolical distutbers, would have set their machinations at test for ever.— This was followed by an entirely new Grand Hippo.. dramatic Action. entitled 7 he British Aids!; or, the Hundred Arabian Steeds, which displayed the whole of Mr. Duceow's stud, and exhibited, as was intended, the extreme care and diligence which must have bees exerted to make the horses perform the very difficult evolutions through which they went. 2 he British Artist, (who, like Americus Vespncius, gave his name to that, the merit of which belonged to others) was but a woo dary character, as his occupation was merely to gift sketches of the various attitudes into which the Arab Chief, Belal Lbar Rachid (Mr. Ducaow) put his steeds. It is but justice, however, to observe, that the audience seemed quite as well pleased with the artist's sketches, as if they had never seen Mr. CHALON'S delineations of the passions of the horse. Mr. Ducaow, as the Russian Courier, followed, and the manner in which he bestrode four and five horses in full gallop, was inimitable. pantomime, called the Flying Dutchman, closed the ea• tertainarents of the evening. It did not possess all the enchantments of Cherry and Fair Star, or Peter Niihau, but sent away a very crowded audience, fully glatitied. COBURG THEATRE. The proprietors of this ageee.ble Theatre ' presented their holiday visitors with two new pieces last night, of more than ordinary attraction. The first, an ll,s. toric Melo Drame, founded upon the conspiracy ri While against the liberties of the Roman Republic, possesses claims upon the attention somewhat beyond the ordinary class of those productions which dstio• guish our Minor Theatres. The story is well told, and the variations, where they occur, calculated IS aid very considerably the general dramatic effect. The scenery, too, is perfectly classical, and the changer more numerous than we could have anticipated. A new Pantomime,' called Harlequin Handy, succeeded the Melo Drame, and Aiadin closed the a musement§ of an evening, which seemed to be highly relished by a very numerous audience, the activity of whose pia dits by hand and voice, seemed not at all dimini,h-si from the previous exertions at Greenwich And Comber well, and those other places devoted to the recreations of Whit Monday. SURREY THEATRE. This interesting place of public amusement, which has been for a short time closed, was last night re opened under the disection and management 0 1 g't ELLISTON, late less e of Drury Lane Th.atre. P .b tc expectation has been latterly raised on the Surrey Ac of the water, by the ort that Mr. &Livros *as about to becOme the lessee of the Surrey, of which establish , ment he had been some time ego the proprietor and manager, and the opening of last night promises to ful fil the expectations of those who are most ardent ad• misers of theatrical exhibitions. Long before the cur min was drawn up. the house was crowded in all d 5 parts, and at half price there was scatcely room for (et. cept in the lobby) one of those who presented thelP selves. The first piece represented was a new prelu de en. titled Sink or Swim. It contained strong and poinld allusions to the 4' campaign" about to be pursued by the new proprietor ('lr. ELListort), and was much dii• plauded. The nest piece was the 'three and the VINO in which Mr. ELLISTON has so much distinguisre I or self upon more distinguished boards. tletore the pe=el opened, Mr. Et.xlsrom presented himself to s peak t/ 4 originid prologue, and was received wide the lou,letl and most mark.d tokens of approbation from 4 1 1 1)41/ e . . trod wig son 114 the est mil
