They then rose to 694, and large quantities of Om nium were done at i premium ; but immediately after the Commissioners were served, some immense sales took place, and Omnium fell to r discount, at which price it remained at one o'cloek. - :A report is current on 'Change that the Bank' have agreed to take in the Omnium. It is rumoured in the City that a great proportion of the sum to be paid the Bank by Government will be in specie ; and tor tkis purpose two Commissioners were sent to South America to procure bullion, a large quantity of which, it is stated, has been pur chased at Vera Cruz. The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this morning. In the Sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, on the preceding day, after a long discussion, in which M. M. BONALD CASSIMIR PERIER, CHAUYELIN, LA• FITTE, CAUMARTIN, ROT, and Baron Louts, parti cipated, the Chamber adopted an Amendment pro- 1 pored by the Committee on the Budget, by which the grant for Commission - to Receivers-General and l District-Receivers, is reduced from 4,056,000 1. to 2,236,000 f. Marshal GODVION ST. CYR has not gone, as was announced, to Carlsbad, but to his seat, is Beauce, whence he will proceed to take- the benefit of the waters, somewhere in the east of France. The Prince and Princess GAGARIN have returned from their tour through Italy, to Paris. On the f.th instant a dreadful hail-storm ravaged most of the Communes of the Arrondissement of Macon. The hail-stones were, in general, of the size of nuts ; some as large as eggs. The. surface of the gruund was covered, in many places, to the depth of seven or eight inches. The damage done is incalcu lable. Fruits and crops of every kind have been de stroyed, and the unfortunate cultivators reduced to a state of the greatest destitution. Several other parts of France have experienced si milar visitations, particularly the vicinities of Metz and Tours. Five per cents. Menday, CS f. c. Mails have arrived to-day from Flanders an•lHol land.—The Grand DUKE of SAxE Watman and suite arrived on the 12th instant at Brussels from Antwerp. SANDT, according to a Manheim article of the 7th, is still living, but in a state of great suffering, which has undergone no change for these three weeks past. The Physicians cannot foretell, v,ith any degree of probability, the moment which will terminate his painful existence. The Spanish Government is said to have received very recent accounts from various parts of South America ; but as no part of them has been published, it is generally concluded that they are not of a fa vourable description. The Merchants have however, received some advices from the Havannah, of which we are favoured with the following version : " MADRID, MAY 30. The capital of Peru, the opulent city of Lima, is threatened by a formidable armament preparing in Chili. The Viceroy has addressed a Proclamatien to the Peruvians, exhorting them to take arms for the common defence ; but this address seems to have produced but little effect, and to have been coldly received. The Araucanians, on whom great hopes were built, persist in remainftng in their mountains, which they indeed promise to defend; but they will not leave them, notwithstanding all the promises that have been made to them. In Mesita, a new Insur gent has appeared, and causes some uneasiness. Mel pretends to be a descendant of Montezuma, and has taken up arms, he says, to deliver his country from the unjust successors of the first Spanish Conquerors. This Chief appears to have at present only somchun dred men under his banners, but fears are entertained of the influence of a name which tradition has pre served in Mexico, even among the meanest of the inhabitants." From the following article of East India intelli gence, we are happy to find that the Dutch have at length so far innovated upon their old system of ex clusion as to throw open the navigation and trade with their Indian possessions (the Moluccas excepted) to all nations with whom the King of the Nzimmt- LANDS is at peace : BATAVIA, JANUARY 38. On the 16th inst. their Excellencies the Commis sioners-General issued a Proclamation, fixing the rules and regulations according w which the govern- i. • •I • • • • ) • . meat of our East India possessions is to be carried on. The supreme authority is exercised in the mew of the King by the Gewernor-Geneml, assisted by four Councillors, who, with the Govemor•Oeneral, Corm the Supreme Government of the Indies. The same Proclamation regulates every thing relative to the administration of justice. the internal govern- ment, and the finances. In the general Regulations there are provisions for the protection of the natives. The navigation and trade with the Dutch Indies (ex cept the Moluccas) is free and open to all Nations with whom the Kingdom of the Netherlands is at peace. The trade with Japan is carried on solely for the account of the country. The Supreme Government were solemnly installed on the 16th instant, in the Palace of the Government. By a Proclamation of the 15th, the Commissioners- General have excused the Javanese from the payment of all arrears due for the rent of land for the years 1815, 1816, and 1817, being persuaded that the ar rears for 1818 will be promptly paid. New York Papers, to the 21st ult. have arrived._ They present a very gloomy picture of the state of industry and trade throughout the Union. A Peti tion is said to be in circulation for signatures at New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, praying the Pant- DENT to convene Congress as early as possible in consideration of the calamitous situation of the Union. The following Extract from a Private Letter, dated 22d May, represents the state of affairs between Ame rica and Spain as likely to take rather a curious turn: KEW YORK, MAY 22. It is hinted that the Cabinet in Washington have hopes that the Treaty will not be ratified by King Ferdinand ; that since its signature and ratification, a discovery has been,:macie that during the negotiation the Spanish King,had sold tight millions of acres of the public lands of the ‘ Floridas, which sale is gua ranteed by the Treaty, being made prior toJanuary 1, 1818. It has been further hinted, that - cut the disco verY of the y above fact, Don Onis, Olt crafty nego tiator, had been called upon by Mr. Adams for an explanation of such conduct, and that the Don had evaded all explanation by remarking, that a bargain was a bargain, that the Treaty was intended to Cover all sales previous to the above date, known dr un known, and that the purchasers of the land did not make him a confident of their secrets, and thirdly, it is hinted that the Messenger that has been sent to Spain since the Treaty bearer .embarked, has dis patches which relate to this important discovery. The following is another Official Account of the Capture of Porto Hello, transmitted by the new Go vernor, M. LOPEZ, to the Envoy for New Grenada, in Londcn: " Pewro rYtt.o, Arita 11, 1819. have the satisfaction of enclosing a copy of the Act which confirms the re-establishment of the Independent Government of New Grenada. This august act was celebrated in the island of St. An drew's on the 4th of April, with every solemnity ; and, from that auspicious moment, has once more waved the flag of the Republic. 4 , On the night of the sth we made sail for Porto bello, and on the Bth we presented Ourselves in the entrance of the harbour. Thence we directed our course to the Bay of Buenventura, where we weighed anchor; and on the 9th, at one in the afternoon, we disembarked a.pArt of the troops, in Ordet to take the town by land. The brig of war Hero proceeded im mediately to cannonade the fortresses of St. Geroi.l - Friana, and San Fernando, in front, to distract the attention of the enemy. These operations pro duced the best effects. Our intrepid soldiers, van quishing every obstacle that opposed them, climbed a steep height, and encamped for the night within gun-shot of the fortification of Friana, determined to occupy it on the following morning. " Our movements so intimidated the enemy, that, the same night, they, in a cowardly manner, abar; cloned the place, and retired upon Panama ; so that when the division which was on shore assaulted the fortification of Friana, at break of day, on the 10th, it found not a man in it. In a moment was struck the Royal flag, which had waved on the Castles, and was hoisted that of the Republic, and we entered with the General and the troops, to take possession of the town. In it we have found cannon of Every calibre, munitions, powder, and other instruments of war. The falsehoods spread by the enemy against the army obliged the inhabitants of the town to remove to the fields in the neighbourhood ; but they are already returning to their homes, in consequence of the Proclamation of trAnquillity, of which I enclose you a copy ; and I have the pleasure of seeing that our troops have belied the calumnious imputations of the tyrants, in such a manner, that the inhabitants are fully satisfied with their conduct. •" I hope that the whole campaign will have a result as felicitous as this our first enterprise; and I shall continue simikrly to communicate to you the further progress of the army. " In the name of New Grenada, I render you the sincerest thanks for the signal part which you have had in the assemblage of the liberating army ; sad I anxiously wait the account when the Congress shall be formed, in order to have the satisfaction of recom mending to it your eminent services in the terms which they deserve. Your name will assuredly oc cupy one 'of the at plates among the 'Moen seas of afar native lead, and its snemcny will be immeetzl among the Grenadian,.

The following is an Extract of a Letter from Trini dad, dated the 14th of May t--" Since I wrote to vcn last, we have had one arrival from Maturin, bringing; accounts from the Patriot Army in the neighbour hood of Archaguas. A detachment of them had fallen in with a part of the Royalists on tie 3d ult.; and, after a sharp contest, had succeeded in putting them to the route, 400 Royalists having been left on the field of battle. Paez was much inferior ix point of numbers, and suffered severely in Officer 4, all of whom are named ; but I am happy to .ay, that there is not one English name among the number. We have heard also of the positive sailing of Colonel English from Margarita, as well as a report of his having landed at Ocumate, and his marching direct to Caraccas. Both parties here have no doubt that he is there by this time ; all agreeinF, that there is no force whatever to oppose him. Ihe whole are un der the command of Colonel Needham. The affairs of the Independents brighten in every direction ; and it is pretty evident now, that they will be in posses sion of the whole country before the rainy season sets in, provided they do not commit some egregious blunder." The following is an Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's, at Gibraltar, dated the27th of May —. l Intelligence has been received here from Tarifa of the loss of an Insurgent hermaphrodite privateer, on Saturday last, the 22.1 instant, on a reef of sunken rocks, near that place, called Los Cabezos, in bearing down, under a press of sail, to cut off a Spanish brig that had anchored close to Tarifa, called Los Tres, or Quatro Hermanos, which she had chased from off Santi Petri. Some of the crew were drowned ; the remainder took to their boats, and rowed off towards the Barbary shore ; but boats being immediately manned with soldiers, and sent in pursuit, succeeded' in capturing them, 72 in number, including the Cap tain, named Brown. One of the Officers, in resist ing, was shot.--The French Agent at this place has received a Letter from Marseilles, dated the 4th in stant, communicating the unpleasant intelligence of a Swedish vessel, called the Continuation, Anderson Master, having arrived there on the sOt h ult. from Suza and Tunis, from which latter place she sailed on the 20th ult. with the plague on board, of which some of the crew and passengers had died, and others were then infected. The infected persons were land ed at the Lazai ettb, and the vessel put under a strict quarantine guard. All other necessary rigorous mea sures were enforced, to prevent- bad consequences' resulting." THEATRE-ROYAL, HA YMARK ET.—The late COM pany of Drury-Lane commenced their performances at this Theatre last night with the very entertaining Comedy of The Poor Gentleman. The principal ac tors were received with great favour on their succes sive appearance. Mr. MURDER, as Sir Robert Bram ble, was honoured with long applause, and RAE, as Frederick, RUSSEL, as 011apod, Mrs. Oec ER, as En; and Mts. SPARKS, as Miss Lucretia Mactab, received frequent marks of approbation during the night. The performance was on the whole singularly well sus tained, we never saw Muipett to greater advantage even in his most " palmy days," and the other actors played to him with unusual spirit. This is demon stration against the larger Theatres; the Drury-lane company were no favourites of the public while they wasted their faculties of face and voice on the immen sity of their colossal stage. In the performance of last night, the countenance and the tone were seen and felt without grimace or vociferation in the actor, and the audience were allowed to enjoy the author's wit without the torture of the unfortuna:c person who bore its burthen. We have no doubt that the public will have a better opportunity of enjoying true and natural representation in this Theatre th an they could from the same company in Drury-lane. The com pany have now tried Comedy, and have admirably succeeded. Their next effort will exhibit their powers in Tragedy, and we will venture to predict, that KEAN S Richard will be felt to be a more striking ef fort within these walls, than in the old gigantic place of his fortunes; here his face will be seen, his voice will be heard, and the cat icature to whi c h all actors are driven in the larger Theatres, will be spired to all parties. We heartily wish success to their under taking. After the Play, 44 GOD save the King" was sung ; the chores by the whole company, and the so l o p arts , together with the following additional verse, by Mr. T. COOKE and Miss CUBITT : But let our grateful verse Our heartfelt strains rehearse, To George our Prince. He who has deign'd to d iet r Old Drury's prospects drear, Aad brought her child ref hero To bless their Prince! LAW LVTELLIGENCE. COURT OP KING% BENCH., SURE r.

It was an issue from the Cci, of Chancery to try whether the plaintiff had ente: , into a contract for the pnrchasc of the !e:kse and gc, will of a coal wharf at Stamford-hill under any representation of the defendant, and whether, in c c: - sequence of such misrepresentation, ~ he received any and what damage? '1 lie plairti.: case was made out in a most satisfacso-y mann:4.l evidence deduced from the defendant's own bt.6: supported by the testimony of qumerous who had been employed by the detendaat in dei zi the necessary repairs to his stock. . Tausvo m explained the plaintiff's cast, embraced seine points of considerable intricazr.l a clear and perspicuous manner, and wa, ably ported by Mr. FREDERICK Pot Loci( and Mr. TINb.: in the examination of the plaintiff's witnesses. MLR vie; Mr. Serje:mt BLOSSET and Mr. STORE who item engaged as Counsel• for the detendan cross-examined the witnesses with their usual acrti ness and abilitie., but uithout producing an erect ; any way beneficial to the defendant's cau Fe. After a masterly reply from Mr. T.st:NTM:, LORD CDIE? BARON summed up the evidence great precision, and the Jury, after retiring a'aatit an hour, returned a verdict for the plaintiff upon the is , ,ues—Damages £2.000. SECOND.4.IIIFS OFFICE, COLEMAN,STREET. WILD, EvQ.S. IVILLANs Mr. WILD said, this was a case to assess damn; in an action brought by a Gentleman of his nan: against the defendant, a coach-proprietor, to alisr. :or the conduct of one of his servants, in endangeit the lives of the passcrgsrs by furious driving. 11 , action was brought in consequence of the detendais refusal to defray the expenses attending the injui su,tained by the plaintiff. The presence of the Su geon who attended upon the occasion was not thougi necessayy to establish a ground for action, as the di stand was for the anguish GI intiry, and nut f the amount of die Anothecary's bill. Mr. Dalton, a Solicitor, stated, that in Marc] 1815, he set off in the Exe - er and Ylynsouth sul -I scription coach. There were four inside passenge a Lady, a Mr. Clark, the plaintiff, and himself. Abt two miles beyond 13agshot, the coach was ping the rate of ten miles an I.olr ; the coachman whi ped on Lis horses at that impetuous rate, in cow quence of the endeavour of another Exeter coach pass by. The horses went at this rate for two or th!* minutes, and on running to the wrong side of the apparently for the purpose of pteventing the otht coach from getting before hifif, the coach was tu set with great violence. The plaintiff's face much cut, and a quantity of bicod flowed from In about half an hcur witness procured assistant, and the passengers went on in post-chaises to these] stage, from whence they set off for Exeter, in motile Subscription coach, which they met empty. Th coachman, immediately before the accident, appeare intoxicated, but the breaking of his leg, which befi him, evidently sobered him. Witness never the plaintiff before. He frequently expressed great pain. Cross-examined by Mr. C H rrty—Witnesswashim self bruized; did not hear the plaintiff complain broken bones; but it was fcund necessary to have Li blooded at Hindon. A careful coachman had drivl the coach as far as Bagshot, where the intexicam coachman was substituted. Mr. CHITTY, for the Dcrendaet, said, that client had an extensive business And many servant and ought not to be severely visited for the attic: tal misconduct of a man who did not drive fa the home district. The reason a compromise haf been refused on the part of the proprietor was, the he vas of opinion that the action had not been is tuted by the plaintiff. The accident was, he sa slight, and 4:10 might be considered as a fair es: mate; £:2B had been *demanded, but was refusf on the ground that it might not go into the plain& pocket.—The Jury gave a verdict for the PlaintiE- Damages £5O. The famous edition of Boccacio, which, at the Dc, of ROXBURGH'S sale, was bought by the p7esent Dal of MARLBOROUGH for the enormous sum of 1.1,*X was yeFterday purchwed by Messrs.
