At Puerto Cabello, thirty-six murders have remained unpunished, though the murderers were known. The separation has at length been effected by the assistance of General Paez. ••••• Ulm follows a short account of the insurrection, agreeing with the accounts which have already appeared in the London Journals. The writer, however, says, that at Puerto Cabello, eight or nine persons, who attempted to ()nose the change, had been shot.]—The inhabitants of Caraccas, the capital of the new Republic, have re quested.Paez not to let his troops enter the town, be cause, being negroes, they might cause an insurrection among the great mass of the people of colour. Paez Las th*efore placed 2,000 men at a place near Caraccas, called Cabrera, where they were maintained at the•er pence of the town. The Colonibian . vessels here have taken two stars out of their flag, because Quito .sm New Grenada are sepiirateii from Venezuela.— • Tlie troops of Paez are well pails and nothing is now •to berfearesi for the Congress at Bogota. Bolivar, by larratcohnts, was at the capital of the new Republic, BAUM. These acconnts - have'caused a great bustle here. Vessels were idittsediately sent to various parts of the coast to fetch persons and their effects, who will not sub`reit• tcl Me. tie* order of thing*. PETERSBUTIGH. JULY Is. An eiptess arrived here on Tuesday lait from Con stantinople, wto left that capital on the 22d June, with the news of the insurrection of the Janissar4s and the entire dissolution of that corps. The birth. day 6f the Ern pressAlezandra was kept with great festivity on thel 3th. The itoik centains an interesting report from the 'French Rear-Admiral de RIOWY, detailing his proceed ings against the Greek Pirates. This report is the more important, as it completely clears the Greek Navy and Government from the imputations of tolerating, if not ncouraging, the excesses of those freebooters. The Fiend) Commander having sailed to ..Sgina, which he understood to be their rendezvous, arrived just in time to rescue the gallant CANARIII from the hands and ven geance of the pirates, whom that real Patriot has under taken to chastise, but with a force so inferior, that had it not been for the arrival of the French, he would Infallibly have been destroyed. Attempts are there fore made by the Greeks themselves to suppress those depredator: who disgrace their name and injure their cause; and if they have not yet succeeded it is through want of strength and not of will.

Mr. Farquhar bad three sisters : Jane, the eldest, married Mr. Wm.

GREEN'S ACCOUNT OF HIS ASCENT ON FRIDAY NIGHT FROM VAUXHALL GARDENS. When we bad attained an elevation of about a quarter of a mile, we bad a most gratifying view of the Metropolis, which appeared a, vast wilderness of stars, the streets being marked out by dotted lines of fire. The lights had no apparent elevation, but appeared to he) spread on the surface of the ground. A large Bengal light, which was attached by a string at s distance of about 60 feet below the bal loon, now took fire, and from its reflection on the balloon, sur. rounded us in a powerful halo of red light. We could distinctly hear the shout that was raised on the appearance of this light; The torrent in which we had hithrtu been sailing was carrying its nearly due north; when over St. James's Park we found ourselves com pletely becalmed, and on rising two thousand feet higher, we entered into a directly contrary current, which carried us back again over Vauxball.bridge, into Battersea-fields. Here we attempt ed to descend. but on sinking to within about five thousand feet of the earth, we again found (ourselves in the current that was running north, which carried us back again till we were over bt. James's Park, where it left us, as before, completely becalmed. By throwing out ballast, we cit.-rated ourselves into the upper or southern currant, and were again brought by it into Surrey; but on attempting to descend experienced, as before, the same adverse current, when within 5,000 feet of the ground. In this manner we were tossed about. and compelled to cress and re-cross the river at nearly the same parts no less than six times; till at last, having suffered the upper current to carry us some distance beyond Toot— ing, we were enabled to make a safe. though rather troublesome, descent, from the opposition of current, at Merton, whence we re- turned to the Gartiens.—lt le a coincidence not unworthy of notice. that on the former occasion Mr. Green also experienced two di rectly opposite currents—the lower one being due East and the upper one due West; and front his experience be is inclined to think that conflicting currents are more frequent at night than in the day time.

L R F PORT. Vlet-CITAISCBLLOWS COURT, JULY *O. OWINN*. v. LISLE. Mr. IC NIGHT said this was an application to restrain the defendant from taking any proceedings at law, for enforcing the payment of a post obit bond, conditioned for the payment of 2,3001. and granted by the plaintiff under the following circumstances. The plaintiff, who it appears was in expectation of considerable property on the death of hisfathor, applied in the year 1819 to the defendant; whO is a money-lender residing in or near the Strand, for an advance of 7001. This, after some short treaty on the subject,was granted; the plain tiff, at the time, signing deeds to secure the payment of a much larger sum, in order to grant to the lender an interest of 141. per Cent. This rate of interest was for a time regularly paid,, but the plaintiff becoming again embarrassed, got into arrears, and in 1821 the defendant brought him in as his debtor in the sum of 1,2181. alleged amount of principal and arrests of interest.— The affidavits on which the motion rested farther stated, that in the year 1821 the plaintiff's father, who was then 69 years old, was attacked by a severe illness, from which it was thought he could not recover. 'lbis fact came to the knovi ledge of the defendant, who also knew that if the &titer became a wale of his sou's having borrowed money at such an exorbitant rate of interest, he would in all probability deprive him of any share in the property- at his death. Acting (it was alleged) on the plaintiff 's fears on this subject, defendant by threats of a discovery to the father, induced him to grant him a post obit bond, conditioned for the payment of 2,300/. within six months after his father's death, and as a col lateral security he gave a warrant of attorney, and con fessed judgment for the same sum. The father, holever, did not die at the time, but recovered, and contrary to the expectation of some of the parties, lived till Feb. in the present year. At his death, plaintiff came into pos session of the expected property, and defendant imme diately took steps to obtain the payment of the post obit fur 2,3001. Plaintiff, Oinking that the defendant was "screwing him up" a little too tight, offered to compromise the matter by the payment of the sum of 1,6001. in full for the 7001. otiginally borrowed, and the interest that became in arrear. This offer the defendant refused, and, as it appeared, would be satisfied with nothing less than the full amount of his bond, and he began to take the ntessary steps for enforcing its pay ment in the usu .1 legal manner. To restrain him from farther proceedings the present application was made. and he (Mr. Knight) hoped his Honour would be of opinion that the sum tend red, and which plaintiff was willing to pay into Court, was sufficient to secure v. the defendant an equitable remuneration for the capital he had advanced. The St be paid into Court. THE LATE MR. GARRICK'S LETTERS. .Take your motion, but let the 1,6001. Mr. PEP?! stated that this was a petition on the part of the executors of the late Mr. Garrick, praying, that certain letters now in possession of one of the masters of the Court should be delivered up to Mt. Beauclerk, who had agreed to give the sum of 5501. for them. It appeared that these letters were from several persons of distinction of that day, to Mr. Garrick; and there were also amongst them copies bf some of his answers ; and the only diffitulty in the case was as to whose property (hiy were, under Garrick's will. By that will, Mrs. Garrick was left_ a life interest in her husband's property, and at her death it was to go LI Mr. Garrick's next of kin. Several claims were made for the plssession of the letters, and t' ey were handed over to the Master, who reported that they were the personal property of M-. Garrick; and as such were at the disposal of his erects tors.• The application now was, that the Master should deliver them over to the party to whom the executor had sold them. The Vrct..Cstascer.zoa said, there could be Co doubt that the letters were part of the personal property of Mr. Garrick, and granted the order accordingly. The %Ica Cassrectuon sat later than his -u.ual hour. His Honour observed that it was his intention to have risen at or before three o'clock for the general convenience of the bar ; but as the Lord Chancellor sat longer, his rising at an earlier hour would not be of any advantage. . WITCHCRAFT. BRUSSILLS, JULY 48. The French Papers contain a shocking account of cruelties exercised on a young woman named Lasalle, on suspicion of being a witch. We regret to say that we hive to record a precisely similar instsnce of the ignorance, stupid credulity, and superstition in this kingdom. Peter Arn-ld Ichoulet, a miller at Mob., and his three sons, appeared on Monday last before the Court of Assize at• Liege. They were accused of having treated, in the most barbarous manner, a woman named It.:gnelle, who having gone to their house to carry home some w( rk, was accused of being a witch, who had brought upon them various misfortunes. They declared that she had three accomplices, whom they ordered her to name, as well as to confess her own gu It ; as she persisted in her innocence, they laid her on a word fire, and burnt her in a most shocking manner; the details are too horrible to be dwelt upon. Not being able to extract any confession from her, they at length threw her out olthe !souse ; she crawled t-) her own house, niutil.ted as she was, and afterwards, assistedby her daughter, contrived to reach the house of the Bur gomaster, to whom she related the facts. She did not long survive the cruelties inflicted upon her, but yet be yond the time fixed by the law to qualify the clime as that the prisoner could only he indicted for in flicting dangerous wounds. The victim being dead, they have confined their defence its an absolute denial of all the facts imputed to , them by the deceased in her depo sition ; but the Advocate General brought such strong arguments as appeared to leave no doubt of the guilt of the parties.—lt is remarkable, that several wit nesses against them are children who were at play near the spot, who not only declared they had heard the cries of a woman proceeding from the house, but had seen one of the accused come into the yard for a fagot, and another take a chain from a cart—agreeing with the statement made by the poor woman, who said the father had fetched a chain, with which he threatened to scourge her in the chimney.—The proceedings have not yet . terminated. AFFAIR or HOSOUR.—In consequence of a publica tion which appeared in a Morning Paper of Monday, signed N J. Giovaa," a second message was sent to that Gentleman by Dr. Mertes. The message was delayed until nigh; and the greatest secrecy was observed. The parties having been bound to the peace in this country, it was agreed that they should proceed to England. Dr. Mayt.sa, with his friend, accordingly sailed in the Mona, for Liverpool, at two o'clock the next day (11iehday). Mr. Guava.' and his friend delayed, it seems, and were to proceed yesterday (Wednesday) to Holyhead, by t he packet from Kowa*. It hap pened, however, that the police succeeded in arresting these two Gentlemen ; they were brought to the head police omee yesterday, and entered into fresh recognizance. to keep the peace.—Duldito Monolog hot. STOCKHOLM, 3ccir 14. The fires in the woods, in our immediate vicinity, have lutppily ceased. The damage is very great ; the loss of a single proprietor, M. Petterson, is estimated at 50,000 rig dollars, Bank money. The Gazelle of yesterday mentions seven such fires since the middle of June, in Nykopings Lehi' only, and five in Upland, not to speak et those in Scavia, &c. &c. The harvest is everywhere very indif ferent. In Winnersburg and Uddenalla the country people have come to town to buy corn, of which the nierebants Ism no great stock. A report has been in circulation far these puss days that en extraordinary Storthing will be called in February; the ordinary Norwegian Storthing meets in July.. ,DISTURBANCES IN THE COLLIERIES. We noticed last week that the colliers in the neigh bourhood of Dudley had struck, in consequence.olthe masters reducing their wages, and that they were pre venting any man from working in the pits ; we are sorry to learn that they have since proceeded to acts or vio lence, and that it has been found necessary to order out the yeomanry. A Correspondent from Dudley gives the following account of their proceedings. The men whose wages had been reduced had, for some dayi,corn raked many acts of violence, and held such Menacing language towards their employers, that it was deemed an act of necessity to call out the Iltmley Troop. o.‘ Thursday, a body of some hundreds, after scouring the country and stopping a number of pitmen from working, was overtaken near Hilltop, by the troop and a number of special constables. Captain Hawkes proceedei im. mediately to address them on the impropriety of their conduct, but WAS answered by a manifestation of defiance. Missiles were thrown, and it was found expedient to read the Riot Act ; this was done ami&st hooting and a fearful shower of stones, &c. ScAicely five minutes had elapsed, when Captain Hawk's r ceived a severe cut in the chin from a bludgeon,. and pebble stones were- unremittingly hurled by the mob. Eight of the yeomanry were either more or less hurt by them, and one constable was severely injured on the tern. pies. Notwithstanding their violence,the cavalry behaved with the greatest fotbe trance; and it was n.it till the expiration of the hour that means were taken to clear the ground. Some few shots were fired, but merely- to intimidate, as not one of the rioters was hurt. Twelve prisoners were taken, but it is to be regretted that the most violent escaped for the time. Too much praise cannot be given to Captain Hawke' for his intrepidity and huma :ity. All is at this time quite quiet, though no colliers are at wor k.—Dirmingkans Journal, Jury 23. M A NCHESTER,SATVIDAY, JULY 29. The circulation of local intelligence is extremely vague and perplexing. One hears of meetings and preparations which do not exist, while, on the other hand, one gets no clue to what is at the instant going on. You will perceive, by the Stockport Advertiser t f yesterday, that Whitelegg, an inhabitant of Stockport, and the incendiary orator of the meeting which took place here last week, has been eiamined, and committed to Chester Carle to take his trial. This is the person for whom Dr. Healey was mistaken. Blackshaw, who had lent Whitelegg the abominable 1 1 pamphlet which he Timed, has had his premises searched, and 26 copies of the first number of the Rights of Alan were taken from them. The Stockport opera lives are now generally convinced that no darkness or secrecy can veil their proceedings for any length of time from the knowledge of the Magistracy of the neigh bourhood, and they begin to r: anon closely upon the absurdity of the meetings, and the madness cif attempt ing to cure their present evils by acts of vi•Aence,—, Meantime their sufferings will admit of no rein - nicks on the part of any who are in earnest in their endeavours to relieve them. There has been a little more stit of business this week, but the increased dem Ind is very limited. Thousands upon thousands, as before, remain unemployed. Large capitalists are stopping their works, and scores are added to the involuntary idlers weekily. The prudent and unanimous determination of the manufacturers at Hyde, Stayley-bridge, &c. to work only four days a week, in preference to reducing wages, has probably tended to produce this change. . The work people fully appreciate the motive with which their hours of labours have been abridged, and perfectly con cur in the propriety of the measure. In several descrip tions of manufacture, we understand, work has this week been given out more freely to the weavers than for some time past. • OLDHAM, NEAR MANCHESTER, JILT 2s. The factories here, with one or two exceptions, are only wcskitig three and four days per week. MACCLESFIELD, JULY 29. There was a good deal of activity shown here last night amongst the operatives, in consequence. of stews arriving of an expected nocturnal meeting at Stockport. I understand, however, that it did not take place, in consequence of the activity of the military. ~10 the course of this day, a great number of strange workinell from that neighbourhood and Lancashire, have .come hither, and it is well known what object they have in their journey. I think, however, they will be disap pointed in their embassy ; for in the midst of the misery which prevails here, there is an exemplary degree of good feeling. A few days. however, will put this to the test. At present we are without any military, and shall be so till Monday next. The division •of the 65d Foot,which arrived here on the Thursday, has proceeded to Stockport; the head quarters of the regiment, L j am informed, will be stationed here, at least for somg time. It is rumoured that some of the hoesehold troops are under orders fur thiSweighbourhood. lam happT to s ay that there are sonic slight symptoms of an improve ment of trade in this town. STOCKPORT. Friday, printed bills were circulated through the Own and neighbourhood, requesting the workmen to meet at ten o'clock at night, on a vacant piece of groundia the outskirts : and there was added to it an intisnatiors, that it would be desirable they should ail be erased! As might be supposed, such an incendiary publication did not pass by unnoticed ; the Military, of which there was an ample force at hand, were ordered to hold themselves in readiness at a moment's notice, and strong parole paraded certain parts of the environs; bot no assem blage of any formal mature took place. Saturday mnrn ing all was perfectly tranquil, and remained so at four o'clock that afternoon. Lord and Lady WHARNCLIPIE, the Hon. J. Sin/Aar Wooster, M.P. and Lady GIIOIIIOINA Wowrirr, arrhred at the family residence, Wortley Hall, near SkeMeld, oa Thursday last, from London. Lwenroot, JULY 29.—A scene of riot took place at Neston. in the Hundred of Virrall, on Sunday last, In consequence lf some of the farmers persisting in the practice of Sunday hiring of harvest servants. The constables, only three in number. were nadequate to suppress the rioting, and It is thought some effectual I nean. will be resorted to in future to prevent such a breach of de -1 mrum. Some of the (tuners propoly declined hiring until Moa lay morning.
