Amidst that flood of grief in which her illustrious re lations are overwhelmed, it must be a satisfactiqn, though a melancholyone, to them to perceive how much and deeply the British people sympathize in their dis tress. The POINCISS was, indeed, the Idol of their Hopes. The liberal principles which she professed as to State affairs-her spirited espousal of the cause of her calumniated mother-her determination not to enter into a matrimonial union but with one to whom she could give her heart along with her hand-the amiable picture of domestic felicity which she exhibited from the moment of her being united to the object of her af fections—the unostentatious benevolence with which she contributed to the utmost of her means to the relief of the poor and destitute.had all concurred to en throne her in the beans of those who thought them. selves destined to be her future subjects, and to leave her nothing to acquire by an actual succession to the Throne, but the power of rewarding, by deeds of be neficence and wisdom, the love and devotion ;he had already secured. Nature had been bountiful to her ,in person and in' mind, as if solicitous to qualify her in all respects for that period, when by the course of nature the destinies and happiness of Great Britain, and perhaps even of Europe and the world, might have been directed and maintained by her power and discretion. The spirit and activity that marked her character in early life. before education and reflee dos had regulated her feelings, matured into the most amiable, benevolent, and affectionate dispositions..- Nothing was beard of her conduct but what tended to her honour, nothing but what contributed to the comfort of all who came within hp sphere of action. She was indeed a genuine Englishwoman, and had it pleased PROVID2IIOIt to bare spared herto sway the sceptre of Britain, she would have swayed it with * spirit of an English Queen.

ST. PETERSBURGH, OCTOBER 10. Oa the 31st of July, oar Ambassador, Lieutinant- General Yermolow, was admitted, with great so !enmity, to a first audience of the Sovereign of Per sia, Fetb Aly Schab, near Sultanie, the Schah's resi dence, in a magnificent tent. The Ambassador having with him a band of music, strong detach• meats of Cossacks, and a brilliant suite, was received by a body of 3000 Persian horsemen of distinction, and by a guard of honour of 200 men : he was then received by the brother-in•law of the Schah, u well as by the late Persian Ambassador in Russia, Musa Khan, who wore the insignia of the Orders of the' Lion and of the Sun, and the Portrait of the Schell. The Ambassador having made three salutations, i l the Schab, seated on a magnificent throne, called out to him, is Be welcome," and made him a sign with his hand to come nearer—after 'event salutations, he presented to the Schab his credentials, upon a gol den salver. The Schah encuired after the health of the Emperor of Russia, of the capital where he was last, and expressed a wish to have (like the Leto. pean Sovereigns) an interview with the Emperor of Russia. The Ambassador was seated in a magni ficent axm chair, but he rase who:toter the Schah spoke to him 4 the conversation lasted a quarter of an hoar--then ..he Ambassador's suite was presented to the Schab, who remind all the persons composing it with tte words u De. welcome." Among them, was Captain Itotzebue. Ths Sehah was told that this officer bad pasted three years in a voyage round the world, but that Ise. bad, above all, desired to see the great Sovereign of Persia. The Schah took it as a pleasantry, and said, then, sow you have seen every Ming." The crown of the Schah is formed of the most costly jewels, as well as a large aigrette, which he wears hi it. From the shoulders to the girdle.be wu covered with rich jewels; his dagger was also adorned with them, which looked incredibly brilliant in the sun.

Ac counts had been received from Chili, announcing that the Royalist garrison stationed in Talcagnann„ a I southern point in Chili, sad the only one in that cis!". try held by the Spaniards * had sent propoiala of ci 1_ ' ,situation to General SaII'MARTIII9 on condition oolg of being allowed to return to Lima. The Patriot Chief had returned for answer, that he would consent to no capitulation that was not unconditional ; in con. sequence of which it was expected the garrison would, in a few days, be compelled to surrender at discretion- I The Buenos Ayres privateers, called the Chscabuce and San Martin, bad made twelve valuable prizes off Cadiz, which bad arrived safe.

The Patriotic Army sdisk possession the . town of Angostura on the 17th July, and of the fortresses, or Old Guayana, on the Sd August. A part of the slipping, say nine or ten vessels, with the remains of the garrison, has arrived at Grenada ; but I suspect that between death and desertion there remaive few to embark. Brigad*-General Latorre a G nd ua oU ma r c oern r Fitzgerald are said to of the num ber at Grenada: The Temkin which the Dishop em barked was stranded in one of the creeks, and some launches proceeded from this., two d a ys ago , t o en deavour to bring him off; for where he is be runs great risk, I understand, of being starve d or drown ed. It is very probable he will have been pi c k e d up by the Patriots.

Oa the'2lth the Patriots having abandoned the town of Pampatar to concentrate thernselvEs towa r d. ~ the north part of the island, the Spanish troops cc ti pied the town and neighbouring heights. It is 1., observed, that this part of the country is r.o bane-, that there is not an atom of provisions of any sort v. be found in it, and of course was not tenable by th,..% Pareiots, who subsist on their own supplies. Th e Margaritaneans having(' great many points to fend, sad the Spaniards having the command at sea, the latter could always attack with great superiority of numbers any particular point—hut the former are tall riflemen, and know every inch of the country.. On the 31st General Morilo in person, at the head of 1600 of his best troops, attacked the city, covered x. and defended by three hundred infantry, and about as many cavalry. This city was destroyed by the Spaniards when General Arismendi expelled them the island, and is now an open ruined place. so that the action was in the °pea country between the co. vering army and Mosillo's troops.—General Gomm commanded in person in the foremost ranks. The action commenced st ten A. as. end lasted till six e.sj. when victory declared for the Independents and Morillo, under cover of the night, retreated upon Pampatar, with the loss of about 600 martined and wounded. Having got a reinforcement of 400 from Barcelona, he presented himself by sea and land be fore the town of Juan Griego oa the Bth of August, and on the 9th attacked it with 2,000 men. The defence for a long time depended on a battery, thrown up in a harry, and mounted with five guns, and de_ fended by 150 men. This caused prodigious flAugh• ter among the enemy, but before the reinforcement under General Gomez came up, the battery acciden. tally blew up, and the enemy got possession of the town. The action was, however, maintained with groat bravery by the Margaritaneans, with General Gower at their bead: and Morillo, having lost a great number of men, and finding he could not stir an ineh out of the town, abandoned it on the 11th. Q,n the 13th Gala* Gomel writes to a friend here, that lm had lust learned from the deserters that Mo rillo was evacuating Panspatan, ?helms of the Spa. niards is estimatedat 4,500 killed and wounded; the Margeritaneans admit a lose of 400, chiefly in the expiation of dm beam. Tots will have *eon Morillo's Proclamation, threat ening fp exterminate the Margaritaneans with their faeußies, as Ten as his summons to Gomez, and the latter's answer, which breathes all the noble fewness . of or [cadet and his berpic countrymen. It appears by a letter from Margerisn 4 that the Proclamation was acted upon. It says—so The Spaniards pot tome women and children to death in the valley of Aspiiint &ante, and in the tpwn of Juan Griego. In-the for. met, they cut off a child's hands, sad wet him is this state to the city, no doubt believing it would terrify the Margaritaneans; but this operation caused a different effect, for it irritated them the more, and they then put colonel lanjano, and this other panties: they bad hitherto preserved,, to death." Aurnisr 24.—Since writing the foregoing. a boat, sent by General Bolivar to communicate to the Co. vernment of Margarita the total reduction of Gus. yaps, has called in here, and brings a confirmation of the complete evacuatino Pampatar, and, all the Olinda! Margarita, by the Spaniards. Morillo set o v r ilt ) his vessels and troops down the coast, it is supplied, or La Guayra. It is said Caracas is rae naced by an invading army from the interior. Thus has ended the lemons expedition of Morillo, and all his threats of exterminating a brave and virtuous people ! He bas lost the Sower. of his troops and officers, among others a Colonel Aldaipas, the officer who took Barcelona, and the same who, publicly flogged a lady of Cumuli', tied on a jack-ass, MVP tioned some time ago in the London Papers.
