One man cannot at tend to all. Ydu ought, therefore. to divide the functions of the public service among many of the citizens possessed of talent and the virtues requisite fur the exercise of power. If those who were le gallyt o T t hetie a bl toted ae th ic sou e h ßep ld resen be f ree and tativesa among th us , the people k ;on woul the d rst tee them hold the flame dignides the. conferred upon them, but a 11106 t deplorable fatality deprives as of the services of these faeclonaries.

A love of liberty brought me to Venezuela In the first pe /Ws of the Republic, without any other view than to contri lute to the great cause of your independence. For it I have thed my blood in battles; for ft I have sacrificed a large for. Una; and fee it I am again ready to exhaust guy mean, and ez- P* myself to fresh dangers. These sentiments bled me to you who have done so many acts of heroism for your freedom—to yea who, with so much constancy-mid valour, have sunained the On and rights of this your country which I have adopted, but Which Nature bestowed on you. Let us unite our exertions, and h<>a hasten to erect an eternal barrier to separate us from that inaleataad ambitious Spain.

TIDE AR.Vii. . • The 18th Infantry (Royal Irish)" first rith the band, cob:tors, &c. marched in to do the Brighton 43114, from Portsmouth, on Saturday, ind second division next day. This arrival relieies the loth Royal H , upon whom the local ditties have been Wry severe of late. Monday the S I battalion of the Royal Scots, a very fi , te body of men, marched into Barracks, in Canter. bury, from Dover, at present to remain. This is one of the battalions returned from France, and which it is intended to reduce by discharges, and the addition or the picked men to the other battalions. Arrangements are at present in contemplation, not only for considerably augmenting, but for putting upon a new establishment, that cheap and constitu tional force, the " Yeomanry of Ireland." By en creasing this description of forces, Government will, in the curse of time, have it eT•ctually in their power greatly to diminish the regular establish rent of the sister Kingdom ; and, though at a superficial glance, the plan about to be adopted, may seta: to be attended with expense to the country, it will, in the end, prove to be not only consitutinnal and prudent, but highly Frugal. Inspecting Field Officers for each of the four provinces; Brigade-Majors for every county, ind Adjutants to every Brigade, all selected from the lalf pay list, will, we hear, shortly be appointed ; ihree, four, or five neighbouring corps will be formed into a Brigade, under the immediate superintendence of one Adjutant, with permanent pay, whose duty it will be to drill these Brig:id:4 (either in a body or in seoai ate companies, as the conveniencies of the indi vidoals may be best suited) at least one day each week. By putting the Yeomanry of Ireland upon an efficient establishment, during peace, instead of 23,000 men, (the present regular quota of the line doing dtity in that country) ten thousand men, at the greatest calculation, would, at this day, be a sufficient .ontingent, and even this number might, in a profound peace, be gradually diminished to five thousand. —By wise measures like these, the regular force (against whose magnitude there has of late been such ill outcry) will in time dwindle into little more than .s absolutely necessary for our foreign Colonies: and with a well armed, well effected, and well disciplined Yeomanry, nothing need be apprehended either from Domestic treason or (what is still less to be expected) oreign foes. It will he seen that the Yeomanry of his Country are quite on the alert : doubtless similar irrangements, with regard to them, will likewise be pot in force. This is a cheap (and we must again say) Constitutional force; they cannot be too nume rous—they are the heart's bland t f a free Country. NAVAL INT-ELLIGENCE. PLYNIOUI'H, MARCH 31.

The Captain, assisted by some et the principal Glazers of Gwi.hian, and the Officers of the Customs from the part of St. lee's, succeeded, on the refluz of the tide, in getting out the cables in .such situations as were jodged expedient, to keep the ship in safety : parties of men were hired to work on the ship in securing her stores, and to keep watch dur ing the night over what had been saved; during the whole of the first day every thing was conducted with gseatregular ity and not tbesmallest pillage took place; but on the second evening a party of Camborne miners came down, deterwitsed for a wreck; they cut the ship's cable, carried oil two ot her small anchors, stole all the beef and biscuit on board, and even had the hardihood, before dark, to steal some of the seaman' clothes at Goorithian Church-town, which having been washed by the people of the village for the pour teliows,had been hung up to dry. In pillaging the ship, they set the watch at defiance, by threatening to cut them down with their dap or hatchets r almost the whole of the vessel and cargo belonged to the Captain, and, we are sorry to state, was not insured, so that be , folly ruined. Three of the wreckers have, however, been appreheaded, and committed to take their trial. si oiu i . THE ROYAL. HUNT.

A combat took place yesterday morning, in the Paddocks of Captain HENRY, at Hartford Range, Hants, between firm, the Bristol Gipsey, and nwerr, a pupil of the late Powers.—The seconds were Gos ling. the wrestler, for Moss; and Hart, a coachman, for Towers. Rousso 1. Hard fighing, which continued for seven minutes, when the features of both were rpniled. Mo•s had the best of it; but he who thrown by a heavy fall. L Towers made play, and planted a heavy bit upon his adver sary's ear, which brought him down very clean. X. Some desperate fighting, but round and awkward. Moss lost a front tooth by a bit, but he returnsd a heavy brow en his adversary's jaw,Crisich dislocated it. Both went down iu a trial of strength. 4. The men approached each other with much eatiti.so; but when they got to work there was much earnest fighting. The round lasted four minutes, and rowers had the best of it. 5. The men at this time appeared much disfigured, and they could scarcely be disiinguished apart. Another rallying round took place, and both bit until exhausted, when both went down with tide heads in disorder. 6. Mots made severe play, and brought his adversary down by a heavy body blow, from wblch•Towers never recovered; and although be fovea six other round*, he only stood up to receive. After the ninth routed, Moss was decimal:l the victor. A second battle was fought between Levy, a Jew boy, and a Country lad, wisich was won cleverly, in twelve rounds by the Jew, who hit and broke away with great dexterity. SPAR RIND, AT Tait FIVES COURT, ST.MARTIIII'II.IITR /MT. Yesterday, the father of the boxing-school, rani ilfendess, who had piaci' , solicited the amateurs to ~ be mindful of past services," took his benefit at the I above place. It was most respectably attended. The, asides were commenced with much spitit by Lennox and Mason, and, after the latter had retired from the stage, Brunton, from Gravesend, entered the lists with Lennox, but proved much inferior to the Co!ord.—. Lazarus and Davis afforded the spectators much sport ; it was science and milling united, and Davis. though much less than his opponent, the Jew, had nevertheless the best of him. Martin, who had been defeated.by Miseworthy, now ascended the platform with Blascuw, both of the it ibe of Israel. This set-to was considered above mediocrity ; and Blascow, as upon all former occasions, proved himself a mist effective miller; he is a desperate in-fighter, means nothing bat mischief, and wiU not be kept nut. He was loudly applauded, and bids fair. at some future period, to give the Jews once more celebrity in the ring. Richmond and Harmer were received with great encouragement. The man of cilour displa)ed the great advantage he possesses corn hitting and getting away; but the firmness of attitude exhibited by Harmer, in opposition to that dangerous mode of milling, called down peals of applause. Alexander (not pie Great, but better known as Sant's man, the eoal.heaver ) put oa the gloves with Stephenson. the unfortunate opponent of Carter. Stephenson was too much for the conveyer of black diamonds in every point of view ; he sobkd him in style, and did Joe but relish going in, he is capable of lamishing a tew who might be op?osed to his large heavy frame, but he appears to be afraid of the coming blow. Two amateurs next appeared in buff upon the stage, but delicacy forbade their names to be chawstal, although they were not quite so nice in feeling for each other's nobs. The spectators were not unmindful of their excitions, and on their taking off the gloves, they were much applauded. Blascow, jua. brother to the above Jew, set-to with Mason. It was downright runfaniem, and young Blascow rushed at his adver sary with all the impetuosity of the English bulldog, and would not be driven from his mark. But the greatest novelty and attraction of the day. was the play between George lead and Parish the waternsan. The former is not distinguished from any conqaest in the ring, but stands very high on the litt as a most finished sparer, and teacher of the art of self-defence. The elegance of attitude; the activity of his move ments; the ease and sangfroid he displayed in hitting and stopping, claimed peculiar atteotioa. if it is . necessary to observe that he had the best of the Wa terman, it ought at the same time to be mentioned, that Parish.exhibited &in.:rate science in'courpetiticio with this superior artist, and united with his well , known good qualities in the ring. he must prove a tremendous opponent. On leaving the Stage they , both expetienced great aprobatioo. The veteran Mendoza, followed by his nephew, I).!rt Menclozr, now made their bows: Previous to setting -to, WO doza apologised for the infirmities of age, and point ing ro his heart, informed his genere t. Senefactors that he felt More than his tolioue could give utterance to, for their kindness in nc' .eglecting him in his senior day. —(lfear , ol.!ost on the boxing list, and iultr continue to do his best to merit their a:tentton and support. Mendoza display. ed his usual mastery of the science, hitt his competitor only operated as a mere toil to this once . distimmished hero of the fist. Scroggiiis. Turner, Crib, Doll? Smith, &c. spewed themselves, but did not exhibit; The amateurs musterel str inply upon this occasion, and the veteran retired w 1? • itisfie'd. A NEW MATCH acronym SC-sOGGINS AND TuTuar:R.

Scroggins drank—" May it be a good fight, and please the Gentlemen, and no interruption." Tur ner replied May the best man win, and nobody else." This being settled, the glasses spat kled round the board. and twang was toasted in bumpers. &vacuum OF THE RINO.—The pugilists, by a deputy from one of their own body, uninfluenced by fear of the suspension of Habeas Corpus, spoke on a subject affecting another Government, and io abolish the Sinecures of men, who had 'leasr pulled off a shirt. His allusion was to the misapplication of the sums lev!ed by some adventurers. who took tolls by electing a barrier to the ring against horses and car riagii, procured waggons for the ring, and exacted Ss. a head, and drain'd the turnpike men, whilst the pugilists, cob had most emlil y. received a trifling pit tance for keeping the tin. A Gentleman; belonging to the Pa :111StiC Club, assured the pugilists, that pr , lerenze would he given to them, and they would be supported in pros iling waggons, &c. as any perquisite of Mr di; tl.Juld belong to them alone. Fifty Pounds were collected for Painter to tight Oliver again. The quarrel between Mr. GIFFARD and Alderman WARREN, of Dublin, has been amicably settled. FlRll9.—Abolt three o'clock yesterday morninft, a fire was discovered in the dwelling-I ouse of Mr. Wm., Pearce, leather-dresser and seller, 198, Tooley•streer. in the Borough ; fortunately the inmates were alarmed in sudicient time to effect their escape with their lives; the whole of the furniture anJ stock in - trade was cot : sunned, and the adjoining houses were damaged. Yesterday morning a fire broke out, between two and three o'clock, in the Bell public-house, Old Ora. vew.ine, Wapping, which, Irmo its situation, was truly alarming, and threatened a most serious clestructio - n . to the neighbourhood, from a dread of its filmes communicating with the immense number of old buildings adjoining, which are principally built of wood. So rapid was the progress of its destruction, that the whole of the pablic•house and its contents were in a short time destroled, and the family, la well as the inmates, with the utmost difficulty escaped from falling victims to the fl ones. Tt e extensive sugar-house of Mr. Stxchnitt being near the Bell, part of it also caught fire, and before the engines could be got to be of service to impede its progress, nearly half of that vain thle property was destroyed. Friday, a poor woman named Matthews, who has been for some time afflicted in her intellects, was left alone in an apartment at the house in which she lived, in St. Ann's-lane, Ste John's, Westn.ins er, when, it is supposed, she was seized with a fit, and It ll against the tire, which caught her clothes ; her screams were heard by the neighbours, who went to her assts.:ince : they extinguished the Hamer, and conv..yed fur to the Westminster Infirmary, where she new hos, burned in a niannyr top dreadful to describe, without • any Lopes of recovery. • Friday a poor woman, nutted Hardy, residing in East Smithfield, went. to get her•allow..nce of :nap provided by the parish for the poor, leaving. her • daughter, a fine girl about four years of age, in the room. alone s soon alter tier departure, the neighbours were alarrnA by the piercing screams of the child, and on opening the door, found her enveliireJ in flames, which were extinguistwd as soon as po,sit,t,..
