The Manchester packet has arrived with a Mail . from Jamaica, containing Letters and Papers to the 7th of November. From some extracts which are given from the Ber muda Papers of the 16th October, we learn, that a fever has prevailed at Angostura, by the Eng lish troops have suffered very severely. Many of the Officers have fallen victims. The country adjacent, has been so overflowed by the Orinoco, as to ob struct all communication with the forces on the Car ribean frontiers, w hieh has put a stop to military operations. A cutter from England has been stranded lately on the Grand Bar, at the mouth of the Ori ■oco, laden with military stores. Letters, said to be from a respectable source, state, that LA Toltec, the Royalist General, had been re inforced by 2,000 troops, when he defeated BOLI VA It, in three successive engagements, driving him to ward; Santa Fe; and that LA Tonne was proceest lag by forced marches, with a large body of troops, to that capital. CALZ ADA had also occupied a strong position in the rear of the Independents, and, with his troops, would add greatly to the success of the Royalist s. The information of LA Tonftes success is said to have arrived at Carthagena by an extraor dinary dispatch from him. The oral information at Jamaica was directly con trary to the above. It says, that the light troops of BOL IVA R were within ten leagues of Carthagena, and that several gun-boats with Royalist troops, which had been sent up the Magdalena to oppose Rm.! VA ft, had joined his cause, and deserted the Royalist stan dard. The troops in Carthagena, WO strong, had manifested discontent, in consequence of the small, pay, and scanty supply of provisions. An engage ment had taken place between, the Royalists and In dependents, when about 30 of the former, after their defeat, had escaped to Carthagena. BOLIVA R left 4000 troops in gartivan at Santa Fe. Accounts have reached Jamaica from the Island of St. Domingo, stating, that MACGREGOR, with five of his Officers, arrived at that Island on the 21st tilt, The GoVernment brig Chebucto, arrived at Saint John's lath of October, from Halifax (Nova Scotia), with 100,000 dollars for the use of Government. A Dutch Mail arrived this morning, with Papers to the 15th instant. The following are extracts: TRIESTE, DECEMBER 12. • All Pacha of Joannina, continues to oppress the, people. Many persons of Istinction have withdrawn from his despotism, and repaired to Corfu. This Paella has reduced under his power, a great part of Macedonia, and almost all Thessaly, and has above two millions of subjects. He is, indeed, so far sub. ject to the Porte, that he sends a considerable an nual tribute to Constantinople, and receives a Firman, from the Sultan. He governs very despotically, snakes peace and war at his pleasure, &c. At his Court there • are Resident Ministers from France, England, and Russia. But it seems that his tyrant• nical acts have attracted the attention of other Powers, as, in the telations between him and Eng land, a great coolness has taken place. There is a report of an insurrection in Bosnia against him, but nothing certain has transpired. BERLIN, JANUARY •. In our newspapers is the following Royal Ordinance : " The falsehoods, the indecorous style, the hateful tendency, by which the articles respecting the Royal Prussian State,.its Government, and its measures, are distinguished in several foreign Journals, oblige me to order as follows : " 1. No Newspaper in the German language, pub kilibcd eitlliz in England or Frame s ihall be admitted in any part a my dengaion4 sr even allowed to paid' through to other countries. - "2. This prohibition Wends to all Newspapers published in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, as well in the National language as in the French and Ger man, unless an exception is asked of my Ambassador, to his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, or grinted by me. Should any such Journals be introduced to read, notwithstanding this prohibition, the person who ordered them shall, on discovery, pay a fine of ten dollars for every such paper ; and, in case of inability to pay, shall be imprisoned for a proportional time. In case of a repetition of the offence, the punishment to be doubled., Any attempt to pass such papers through the Prussian States, shall be punished by confiscation of the papers. If public, officers, espe cially persons in the Post-Office, should, contrary to expectation, permit, or promote the importation, or transit of the papers prohibited, they must be pro-' ceeded against according to the penal laws, for this violation of their official duties, whether proceeding from design, or from inattention or ignorance. Only such copies of the above papers as are intended for our Ministers, are exempted from this prohibition. (Signed) " FREDERICK WILLIAM. " Berlin, 50th December, 1819. " To the Chancellor of State, Prince Haidenbers." ROTTERDAM, JANUARY 15. The rivers of Holland are full of ice. The cold has been at 12i Reaumur, or 28i Fahrenheit, below the freezing point. THE DUKE OF KENT. SIDMOUTII, JANUARY 17. His,Royal Highness the Duke of KENT still con tinues seriously indisposed. The cold his Royal Highness contracted has terminated in pleuretic in flammation and cough, and, besides three copious bleedings from the arm, he has twice undergone the open ation of cupping. Bulletin of this day : " Woolbrook Cottage, Jan.l7. Ilia Royal Highness's febrile symptoms are considerably abated. Ills Royal Highness complains this morning of rather an oppressed respiration. In other respects his Royal I lighness continues much as yesterday. (Signed) " J. Wri.sos." The Duke of SUSSEX has arrived, on a visit to hit Roy al Brother. • THE ARAIY. Saturday, a detachment of the depot of the 9.6 th regiment, marched from Edinburgh Castle, and em barked at Leith, to join the regiment at Gibraltar. The two companies of the Gth foot, who remained at Edinburgh after the body of the regiment went to England, have marched to join them at Leeds. Friday and Saturday, the'63d regiment, under the command of Colonel O'HARA, arrived at Chester, in two divisions, from Plymouth, oa their route to Liver• pool, to embark for Ireland. Friday, the first division of the 33d regiment marched into York, on their route to Newcastle. LEEDS, JANUARY 18. A Committee has been formed here, and measures are taking to make out a strong case, to induce Mi nisters td consent to a repeal of the Wool Duty, int ntediately on the re assembling of Patliament. It having been industriously circulated here, and published in some of our Newspapers, that Lord MILTON, one of the County Members, supported the Bill, in the last Session of Parliament, for laying a Tax on Foreign Wool Imported, his Lordship has written a letter to a respectable Gentleman in this town, deny ing the charge, and appealing to the de bates in the House at the time, for a refutation of the calumny. The Noble Lord further says—" I not only opposed, to the utmost of my ability, the ob noxious measure passing into a law, but I will like wise suport any motion that may be made for its le peal.; and your Committee may rely on my best ex ertions on behalf of themselves, and the manufactur ing interest generally." The business in our Cloth Halls to-day, was rather brisk, as compared with last week ; but there is a shocking deficiency of cash—all is done on the cre dit or kite system—and assignments and compound ings are daily taking place. The body of a female, whose name is at present unknown, was found this morning, in a pit at Wibsey, near this town, into which she is supposed to have been thrown by two villains, who were seen.to follow her out of a public-house last night, where she had called for refreshment. MANCHESTER, JANUARY IS. Yesterday, soon after the CffA IRMA N'S charge, se veral bills %% ere found for felonies. Not fewer than twenty. seven persons pleaded Guilty at once, and re ceived sentence of imprisonment for various periods. Mr. Wroc has removed all the indictments against himself, and the indictment igainst his wife, into the Crown Court at Lancaster, where they, as well as Hunt, Johnson, &c. will be tried next Assizes. Some of Wree's friends till be tried at the Sessions here, for selling the alleged libels, which he is charged with having printed and published. Four traverses from the last Sessions, of persons charged with riots on the 16th of August, after the Meeting at St Peters'-field, and six of persons charged with drilling and training in Rochdale, are to be de fended at the expense of the Committee for manage ing the fends for the relief and defence of sufferers by the events of the 16th of August. Mr. ATKIN SON is their Attorney. The Sessions are not expected to terminate au Wednesday, next week. It was asked the other day, what was likely to be the interest excited by Sir JAMES MAEICINTOSEI'S new work, i. e. a History of England from the date when Hume discontinued it? He wittily replied, that it would at least be a post-humour work ! THE CONVINCING POWER OF SPEECHES IN PARMA MENT.--A Gentleman, who sat about fifty years in Parliament, used to say, that he had often heard speeches which made him alter his opinion, but hr had aever hoard one, which made him alter his vole WELTER FOR THE ReiYgELESS. 1 Yesterday brought an accession of numbers to the inmates of this Establishment, which, hdwever, was less felt, and more easily provided for, than. would have been the case but for the late thaw, which set at liberty that portion of its distressed inhabitants who had been driven to take refuge there by the want of employment on the River which the frost occasioned. The sheltered Poor at London-wall were law night between 500 and 600. For nearly 200 of these, employment, productive of some trifling emo lument to the individuals, and therefore gradually inducing the feeling of independent support, was provided. The arrangements at the Institution ne cessary to the accommodation of their fellow-claim ants for relief, furnished ample occupation to more than fifty persons, and the remainder were stationed in different parts of the great public thoroughfares of the City, to break op and'remove the accumu lated snow and dirt with which they at present abound. To this extent, therefore, (and it has formed one of the most anxious considerations of the Com mittee of Manigement), some relief from absolute idleness has been provided for the objects under their ; care. The General Committee met yesterday at the I King's Head, in the Poultry ; and from the nature of the deliberations then entered into, we have reason to believe that an extension of their plan is contemplated. We are informed that a Committee, consisting of twelve persons, was appointed, who are to take into their consideration a suggestion which has been made, for forming a collateral branch of the London wall Society, devoted to the relief of those destitute persons, who, possessing a home to shelter them, are subjected to every other misery that poverty can in flict. An Address to the Public is to be framed by this Committee, explaining the causes of their ap pointment, which will be the basis, and best justifi cation, for the .continuance of those liberal contri butions which have already been supplied to the So ciety. But this is not the only mode. in which the extension of the original object is likely to take place; in some of the populous suburbs of the Metropolis, the hope of similar establishments, and of similat relief, has been awakened. Offers have been made, both from the North and South of London, of buildings suited to the reception of the unsheltered Poor, to be placed under the su perintendence of the Parent Society. It is, perhaps, among the most pleasing features of this great work of charity, that not money alone, but personal aid and superintendence have been liberally offered : in this spirit we have to notice an offer we understand to have been made yesterday, to the General CoMmit tee, by the Ladies who form the Committee of the Guardian and Provisional Protection Societies, of their assistance in furthering the views of the Lon don-wall Society. On these points, the Committee, we conceive, can have no hesitation concerning the course it behoves them to pursue :—the good is within their reach, and they have only to follow it. But there is another point on which, if our infor mation is correct, some difference of opinion arose— we mean as to the practicability or policy of finding employment for the objects of the Charity, it being contended that an attempt to forcellabour at a cheap rate on the community, must necessarily produce more suffering than it could alleviate. A resolution was, however, adopted by a considerable majority, that occupation should be found, as much as possible, for the indigent and destitute persons under the care of the Society—a course Gn which, if policy hesitates, humanity can form but one opinion. In our Police Report of what occurred at Guild hall oa Monday last (See Tuesday's STAR), relating to the inmates of the London-wall Asylum, the views of the Committee appear to have been misunderstood. Their object was solely that the poor persons under their care, who had settlements, should be relieved in the regular way, as a preliminary step to passing them to their respective Parishes; and not to place them in the condition of vagrants, committing an offence against the law, and subject, therefore, to punishment. The following communications were yesterday transmitted to the Gentlemen of the Committees " Mansion-holm', January 17. " The Loan MAvoa has great pleasure in stating, that, in con sequence I , of the observations which he felt it to be his duty to make the other day, at the Meeting for sheltering and relieving the Homeless, he has had a cotninunication with the American Vice-Consul, who informs him, that the American sailors who have served on board British gips are not actually precluded from relief at his office on that account, although they so fre• quently make that an excuse for applying at the Mansion-house; and further, that he has at present about 100 destitute seamen, whom he supplies with lodging, food, clothing, aid me dical assiAance, by means of funds furnished him by the Govern ment of the United States, several of these men having to his knowledge served many years in the British Mavy. This Gen• tleman states also, that, in his official capacity, be has lately contracted for the passage of fifty of the aforesaid men, by a ves sel bound for America, tow in t►e London Docks." ADELPHI TRILATRIr-BeftetfOrihe Relief of the Houseless Pcor.—Last night the whole of the receipts were devoted to the Charitable Fund for the Relief of the Houseless Poor. The LORIS MAYOR honoured the Theatre with his presence and special patronage. The House was filled at an early hour, and the Pro prietors have every reason to congratulate themselves on the successful result of their benevolence anti li berality. Had the object been less praiseworthy, the excellence of the performances would have- tecuted the approbation of the andiesce. INTELLIOENCE.

" May it please your Grace—We, the undertlgned ti%e Weavers, belonging to the City of Perth, now employo trenching and improving waste lands, beg leave to your Grace with sentimental of the profoundest respect, for the purpose of expressing our sincere merits to your Grace, and to the other Noblemer. and men of this County, who, at a time when we are exposed most severe and unexampled privations, have so come forward to alleviate our sufferings and contri, relief. While we cannot but deeply lament the present state of trade, and the long train of domestic hat occasioned in our condition, it is to us a source of-muc, lation that our distresses have excited the compassion more opulent classes in the community; and that thong: have by no means been entirely removed by their humane Lions, they have, at least, been so far mitigated, as dereti less pressing and insupportable.
