THOMIX.I . 3 I NOVIMBER 4. ." The further supply of Micnitions of war has be come necessary in conseqUence of an unexpected inanteuvre of the Spanish General, Morales, who, having a superior naval force, threw himself into Maracaybo, then unprotected, most of the land forces being drawn to Caraccas and Valencia, supposed to be bikdestipation. • " The plunder in money and dry goods (that is, the manufactures *of Germany, France, and England) could not be less than three millions of dollars ; but what aggravates the loss of Maracaybo and so much property, is the basely putting to death at least twenty families, the most respectable in the city, from their antipathy to the Spanish power.; and not long before, in cold blood, put a Lieutenant-Colonel Traynor, of the Colombian service, to death; he had been Morales prisoner of war, but having ascer tained that he was one of two desperately brave officers of the battalion of Carabobo (the British and Irish Legion united), whb carried destruction into the Spanish lines at that memorable and decisive battle, ordered him out to the square, and to be shot before the Spanish troops, adding, thus shall I treat every one of the British who falls into my hands; they have been the occasion of subverting the Spanish power in Colombia. " This temporary and sanguinary success of Morales will soon, very soon, be at an end—himself and his plunder, with thirty-two vessels, are blockaded in the lake. Providentially the vessels from England and America arrived in good time, and stop his progress. Some of the Colombian fleet are now off the bar of Maracaybo, and the remainder blockading Porto Ca bello, the siege of which has been renewed by General Paez, with 3,000 men; and these are to secure the coast from La Guayra to Valencia. There are aV least 9,000 .men, besides the militia, of volunteer corps, in La Guayra, Caraccas, San Pedro, Nlaracay, Victoria, and Valencia. " Nlaracaybo being blockaded, and Genetal Ma riano Montilla having united force , from Carthi gene with that of General Urdaneta, at Truxillo, two days march from Gibraltar, the last port on the Lake, there is no possibility of escaping.

The Proclamation for the Meeting of Parliament, on Tuesday, the 4th day of February next, for the dispatch of business and other weighty matters, was this morning affixed to the entrance of the Treasury, and conspicuous places of the Government Offices. The French Papers of Sunday have reached us. The only articles of intelligence they contain will be found in a preceding column. If an article from Perpignan can be relied on, the feelings of the French on the Spanish frontier are such as would give little hope of a successful crusade against Spain. It is stated that several Officers who had been made pri soners at Urgel, and released when the Insurgents were driven into France, passed through Perpignan. At first they were roughly handled, having been mis taken for the-faithful, but on the discovery that they belonged to the Constitutional Army, the inhabitants raised subscriptions for their relief, and even stripped off their own clothes to supply their wants. A letter from Madrid states, that the Cortes have come to a resolution, that the persons to be tried by the competent Tribunals for the mutiny of the Guards on the 7th of July, shall not be subject to capital pu nishment. This is another proof of the moderation of the present Spanish Government. The Journaldes Debats has another argumentative and pacific article on the question of war or peace, in which it is well observed, that " no friend to the cause of Monarchy would commit the fatal error of wishing for a war with Spain." Another remark is equally true—that, " in the present state of things, the imprudent provocations of the friends of war, are precisely the causes most calculated to excite, against the BOURBONS of Spain, that popular fury which the Zurriago has hitherto endeavoured to stimulate."-. The whole of the article is a temperate answer to those raving Ultra Journalists who still call out for war. This morning we received New York Papers to the 20th November, Charleston Papers to the 19th, and Philadelphia to the 21st November. YROM THE MERCANTILE ADVERTISER Of soy. 19. We learn from our correspondent at Baltimore that Captain 'Chester, arrived at Portland from Marti nique, states, that on the 13th ultimo the negroes at Cm bet, about three miles from St. Pierre, rose and killed many white people, and wounded several ; and troops were sent from Fort Royal to assist in taking the negroes. By information of some of those taken, it was their intention to murder all the whites. ,~ anticipated on the part of the Congress movements. • !ROM THE BOSTON PANNE OE NOVEMBER 13. By the brig Hope, .Captain Man, from Madras, we received Papers to the 23th of July, from which the following are extracts: A violent storm and inundating rain were expe rienced in India early in June, and nearly destroyed all the indigo plants; a great amount of property has been lost by the inundations, and also a number of jives. It was feared that, on the small Chins, the greatest part of the population had perished. Twelve j thousand rupees were subscribed at C alcutta for dul surviving sufferers. The rice harvest has particularly failed at rilanilla. Mr. Willoch, the British Chargé des Affaires in' Persia, had refused to pay the usual tribute, and de manded his passports. This has produced a report that there would be a rupture between England and Persia. A good understanding is said to have been bfterwards restored ; and Mr. Willoth left the Per sian Court in an amicable manner, to proceed to Eng land to consult his Government on an important point. Mention is made of a Russian Officer having been discovered in disguise in the neighbourhood of Dolio. There has been several important failures among the native merchants, who have speculated in cotton. A junk, of 800 or 900 tons, from Amoy, in China, for Batavia, with 1600 passengers, from the ages of six to 70, a valuable cargo, and a numerous crew, Was shipwrecked on the sth of February, on Gosparo Island, and all but 190 perished; those saved were taken up by the British ship India. One of the Noncowrie Islands is said to be occupied by a large number of Europeans, whe exist as pirates. Several persons bathing, not far from Calcutta, have been seized by alligators and sharks. LATEST PROM COLOMBIA. A passenger in the George Town Packet has fa voured us with Caraccas Papers to the 7th Novem ber, which contain no news. He left Laguira on the 16th of October. General Morales had evacuated Maracaibo, and arrived at Porto Cabello. President Bolivar and General Devereux were daily expected at Caraccas, from Quito, when more active measures would be adopted for the reduction of Porto Cabello. CALCUTTA, JUNE 14. A most violent storm burs't over Calcutta on the night of Friday last, the 7th inst. • Accounts from Dinapore mention that boats with out number have been lost in the Ganges, and the shores were covered with wrecks. If the Whiteboys were the only enemies to Ireland that she contains within her own bosom, we should not despair of seeing that country restored to tran quillity ; but there is, unfortunately, a worse faction than the Whiteboys—a faction which instigates the outrages it swears to put down, and •iolates that peace it professes to protect—this is the Orange fac- tion. Otir Readers are aware, that through the inter ference of the LORD LIEUTINANT and the LORD MAYOR of DUBLIN, the Orange party could not cele brate the 4th and sth of November with those fac- tious orgies that have formerly disgraced those days This was a crime not to be forgiven ; and, come; quently, every insult that malignity could suggest has been heaped on the LORD MAYOR ; but it was not until Saturday night that the Orange party could wreak their vengeance on the LORD LIEUTENANT, the e Marquis of Wacur4Lev, against whom they were equally incensed. On that evening the Noble Marquis visited the Theatre for the first time during his Viceroyalty, and the house was crowded to excess. On the appear ance of his Excellency in the Viceregal box, he was received with the customary marks of respect, which had been uniformly shewn to the Representatives of Majesty ; but the cheers were soon drowned in the shouts, hisses, and execrations of the Orange faction, of which great numbers had posted themselves in the galleries, for the purpose of insulting the LORD LIEU TENANT, if not for the purpose of attempting his life. During the performance of the play, they continued shouting and hissing, or otherwise insulting the Illus trious Person; but they occasionally cheered Alder man DARLIY, and uttered execrations against the LORD MAYOR. They sometimes cried out for such party tunes as 44 The Protestant Boys," and 64 The Boyne Water," while the Roman Catholics, roused by such provocation, weie equally clamorous for Garryowen," and " Patrick's Day." The Illustrious Nobleman remained unmoved and unaffected by their malicious insults, until towards the end of the performance, when a bottle was flung at him from the upper gallery. Fortunately the atro cious intention of the assassin was frustrated, as the bottle only struck one of the pannels of the box, with out doing any injury to the Noble Marquis, %hose life was thus attempted. This in a few moments was followed by a watchman's rattle, which came closer to him. All was then confusion, and Mr. JOHN bON, his Lordship's Private Secretary, rushed to the gallery from whence the bottle was thrown, and assisted by Mr. MILLIGAN, his Excellency's book , seller, and Sir JARRAT NEVILLE, succeeded in secur- ,~* ~ most doting off` the riot** Sisti k ti ho actually threw tilt hectic-mg with the nattotal feelings of a young made a most fbreibla appeal to the was such coadact es his Smilax, countryman—the representative of , &e.

A few days ago we deemed it oar duty to. make some animadversions on the singular charge of Bartni GRAHAM to the Grand Jury at Hertford; we have now the more pleasing task of directing the attention of our readers to the charge of Mr. Justice BAYLEY, at Maidstone. After noticingthe third Assize, as ad experiment which ought to be fairly and impartially tried, and notecmdemned by anticipation, the Learned Judge says, " There are one or two points upon which no two persons can differ, and in the justice ' and humanity of which all must agree; those points are: Ist, that prisoners against whom the evidence maybe deficient, may as speedily as possible be re moved from the dangerous tendency of Prison a ssoc i a . tions, and restored to that liberty to which they are by right entitled; and 2 dly, that those whose guilt shall be proven, may be removed from pihson inacti vity to that beneficial industry to which their sentence may consign them."

Lord Matson's entertained the kart and Countess Covina and a select party to dinner, at his house, WhitchalL A Court of Aldermen was held yesterday at Guild hall, for the general dispatch of public business, at which the LORD MAYOR, 13 Aldermen, Recorder, Sheriffs, and City Officers attended. Mr. LEWIS, who was recently elected one of the Bridgemasters, attended, and was sworn into the office.—Commis sioners of the Court of Requests for the month of January next were appointed.—A referenee was made to a Committee to consider relative to Slaughter houses in the City. Public attention in Ireland has been engaged by a correspondence between the Earl of GLENGALL, at the head of five Peers, and more than three hundred Commoners, composing almost the whole landed in terest of the great county of Tipperary, on the one part, and Mr. JOHN HELY HUTCHINSON, High Sheriff, a military man, as we have heard; and a near lea ' lion of the Earl of DONOUGHMORE, on the other.— Lord GLExciam., speaking in behalf of the Peers and Proprietors before-mentioned, required the Sheriff to convene the county for the purpose of petitioning against the present system of tithes. Mr. HurcniN SON refused, assigning as a reason, that he cannrt think of convoking the county, because the « Gc vernment have pledged themselves to consider" the question of tithes. Dean PONSONBY, ofSt. Patrick's, has published a letter in the Irish Papers, stating, that be believes the shot supposed to have been fired at him, proceeded from some persons returning from shooting, without any evil intention. In consequence of the death of the Eal I of TANKER- , VILLE, a vacancy has occurred in the Representation of the Borough of Berwick. DELICATE DtscLosuites.—Me understand that some circumstances have lately occurred in the West of England, which are likely to lead to disclosures of so delicate a nature as to involve in their conse quences the everlasting happiness and regulation of whole families.—Sherborne Mercury. We are happy to learn that very little damage has been done to the Gas Works, at Canterbury, by the fire which broke out on Friday last. It was occasioned by drawing the retorts upon a quantity of tar, which took fire and communicated to the Ventilator or Cu pola ; the injury done is estimated at about £lO. The arrangements for lighting Paris with gas are in a state of great forwardness. That side of the Palais Royal parallel to the Rue de Richelieu is quite pre pared, and the pipes are laid in the Rue St. Honore, extending into the Rue de Richelieu. Several shops in the Faubourg St. Flonore, and opposite to the gal lery of the Louvre, have adopted the gas light.

PARIS, DECEMBER 15. Yesterday morning our Minister for Foreign Affairs received an extraordinary courier from Madrid. He lett that capital on the 6th. At his departure the greatest tranquillity prevailed. The two last Sittings of the Landaburian Society had, however, been very stormy. Martinez San Martin, the Political Chief of Madrid under the late Ministry, against whom the Fiscal Paredes issued a writ, on the ground of his being implicated in the affair of the 7th of July, and' from the effects of which he was saved by the Supreme Tribunal of Justice annulling the process of the Fiscal, presented himself in the last of the two Sittings. He was, however, so ill received, that be was under the necessity of withdrawing immediately, to avoid the imminent danger in which he was placed.—Journal de Paris. Several persons attribute the depression of the funds, which took place yesterday, to the dispatches received from Madrid; but we are of • opinion that the fluctuation had its origin in other causes, and we have some reason to be persuaded, that the news from Madrid is not of a nature to exercise this un favourable influence.—/bid. Yesterday evening the Spanish Ambassador dis patched an extraordinary courier to Madrid. The Duke of Wellington came, at two o'clock yes terday, to pay his respects at the Thuilleries, to their Royal Highnesses Monsieur, Madame, the Duke of Angouleme, and the Duchess of Berry. It is said that his Grace will not set out for England till the end of the present week. We are assured that the Duke of Wellington had on Thursday a long audience with the King, at leav ing which, his Grace immediately dispatched a courier for Madrid. His Excellency the Duke of San Lorenzo visited the Duke of Wellington on" Friday. The interview of these two personages was pretty long, and we un derstand that the Spanish Ambassador came away very well satisfied, and with new assurances of the continuance of peace. The Count de Torreno had a similar interview with the Duke of Wellington. Baron Pagel, Charge d'Affaires of the King of the Netherlands, died on his arrival at Lisbon. Tile Di plomatic B ody have paid him the last honours. No. 571 of the Bidkiin des Lois, published yestie day, contains an Ordonnance of the King of the 27th of November last, calling into active service. all the young soldiers of the class of 1821, at present dis posable, and which prescribes their distribution into corps. According to the third Article of this Ordon nance, the departures of the young soldiers called into active service must terminate before the 20th inst. Lieutenant-General Tirlet has been named Com mandant of the Artillery of the Army of the Western ryrennees ; and the Mareschal-de Camp Berye, Com mandant of the Artillery of the Army of the Eastern Pyrennees. On the 27th of November General Milans dis. persed the troops of Moses Anton, at Bitßaster, and I of the batches, De Cossa-de-la Loire, who heads i.OO smugglers at Pola Fourgelles. These different bands fled w►th all speed towards Sainte-Colombe and Sainte Hai" taking the mountain's road, and arrived at Olot without firing a musket. Milans entered Olot on the lst of December, without meeting the least resistance, and Moses Anton retreated to CampreJon. All the other Chiefs have come towards our frontier. Two Chiefs of the band of Missas have already ar rived here, mit it is reported that Missas has ar rived himself Some soldiers of the band of Moses Anton have arrived at Prate de Mollo with about one hundred Monks.
