NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PRIVATE LETTER. FALMOUTH, Juxz 11.—His Majesty's Packet Bane eouts, Lieutenant James, arrived last evening from Jamaica and Carthagena, bringing accounts of another revolution having taken place in the latter place ; by which the com mand of the civil department of that province was vested in Dr. Manuel Romay, and of the military, in General Luque. Tne capitulation by which these arrangements were made, bears date—" Head.quarters, en h Pope, 23d April, 1831." Th: capitulation stipulates that General Luque should enter Canhagena with 600 troops on the 26th, the rest of the army to retire to Tarbaco ; that he should, within three days after. issue his decree for the assemblage of the depart mental conventions ; that all private property taken by either party since February 14, be restored to their owners ; and that all persons under detention for political opinions be set at liberty. On this change of government taking place, Commodore Farquhar claimed from General Luque the observance of all treaties between Great Britain ; to which he replied, that he would ever scrupulously and religiously observe all the articles of the treaties between the two nations, protect their commerce, and preserve peace inviolably, u Great Britain elm enjoyed his affection. The latest accounts from Cardta. gena represent the people u expressing the utmost joy at the success of the liberal party, which had been so complete that Generals Mariano Montella, Daniel F. O'Leary, Laurencio Silva, Jose Maria Carreno, and Senor Maguerza, took pas age to Jamaica in the Barracouta. Senor Juan de Francisco, Martin, ex-Prefect of Carthagena, and his brother Senor Narciso, had also arrived at Jamaica, in his Majesty's ship Champion. General Muntillo had sailed for New York Gneral Urdaneta bad resigned his authority in Bogota, which had been given to the Vice-President General Do miogo Caycedos until the return of President Mosquera.

STATEMENT OF THE AFFAIR BETWEEN LORD T. CECIL AND MR. TENNYSON. In consequence of a paragraph which appeared in a Paper of yesterday, we are requested to pub lish a statement from the most authentic source, of what took place on the occasion referred to : No. 1. The Honourable Richard 'Watson to 31r. Tennyson. Brooks's, June 3. i Sut—Having a communication to make to you on the part of Lord Thomas Cecil, I request that you will be good enough to inform me at what hour it will be most convenient to you to receive me. I am, Sir, your very obedient servant. R. WATSON. The above letter was received by Alr: 7 FennisOli at the Board of Ordnance, at tbree o'clock on Friday, 3d of June. /dr. Tennyson im mediately replied that he should be happy to receive Captain Watson at the Ordnance Office before half past four, or at his house in Park-street, Westminster, between five and seven on that afternoon. Captain Watson called at the Ordnance Office at four o'clock, and delivered the following letter to Mr. Tennyson : No. 2. Lord Thomas Cecil to Mr. Tennyson. Sta—During the late election at Stamford, in addition to other expressions of an offensive nature, you called my bro ther, Lord Exeter, an " execrable" man and a " tyrant." I am willing to make allowances for words uttered at a period of unusual excitement ; but no man at any time, or under any circumstances, is privileged to use towards ano *her, who never by word or deed offended him, expressions, calculated to injure his character as a gentleman, and a man of honour. The expressions above alluded to were uttered by you in my presence, and they are such as I never will suffer any per son of your station in life to make use of with impunity to wards any member of my family. I therefore take this, the earliest opportunity that circum stances have permitted, to require that you will immediately retract and publicly withdraw those terms. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, C. Tennyson, En. THOS. CECIL. After perusing this letter, and some conversation between Captain Watson and Mr. Tennyson the latter expressed a wish that Lieutenant-Colonel Maberly, who was at the Ord nance Office, should be introduced. To this proposal Major Watson assented. Colonel Moberly came in, and after Mr. Tennyson had explained to him, in Major Watson's pre sence, the circumstances of the case, it was agreed that Col. Maberly and Captain Watson should retire into Colonel Alaberly's room, when Mr. Tennyson wrote the fcllowing answer to Lord Thomas Cecil, which Colonel Maberly having approved, Mr. Tennyson delivered it into the hands of Captain Watson, saying he should remain at home during the whole evening, in order to receive any further commu nication. No. 3. Mr. Tennyson to Lord Thomas Cecil. Ordnance Office, Friday, June 3, 1831. Ma LORD-11 feel quite confident that the expression " execrable man" did not proceed from me at any period of l the election, and that your Lordship must have mistaken me. Had I used that expression, I could not hesitate to retract it, as it never did or could occur to me to attack Lord Exe ter's private character. I might use the word " tyrant," to characterise his Lordship's political interference by ejecting his tenants on account of their votes at the former election. It was for .his, and any other over-heated terms Into which excited feelings might have betrayed me, that I publicly ex pressed regret in my speech at the final close of the poll. As no appeal was made to me by your Lordship at this favourable opportunity for any further exrlanation you might think desirable, I was entitled to imagine that what I then said was satisfactory. I am persuaded that this passage of our proceedings has escaped your recollection ; but if you refer to the newspapers, you will find it there recorded. The regret which I then felt I resin. I might, had I been called upon at that period, have strengthened my expression of it ; but I am sure that upon reflection your Lordship will feel that I could not now make any public statement, such as you desire, without in curring the imputation of motives which would affect my character as a gentleman.--I have the honour to be your Lordship's obedient servant, The Lord Thomas Cecil. CHARLES TENNYSON. The expressions of regret uttered by Mr. Tennyson at conclusion of the poll, and referred to in the above letter, are comprised in the following pis , copied from the re. port of his speech on that aeraslao (3d May) as contained in the Stamford News of the 6th May, and The Stamford Champion of the 10th May: " 1 join with my noble colleague, in imploring you to suffer, from this moment, all party fends to subside; and when the noble lord makes that appeal to you, lam bound, in justice to him and to ley honourable and gallant friehd, to admit not only that nothing could have been more fair than the manner in which they have conducted themselves in this contest, but oleo that nothing, on their par:, could have been more gentlemanlike nor inoffensive (cheers). I confess, that mine (although the noble lord has been generous enough not to allude to an thing that I have said), I may have to excuse myself to him and others for some overheated ex s uttered under the excitement of the moment; but rr il l ° 1 1 :ot fighting here for myself, but for you; and as the noble lord is again connected with you, I am sure, for your sake, be will forgive me (cheering). " I have also to assure your respectable Chief Magistrate, that I entertain the highest respect for him, and regret that anything which may have transpired should have wounded his feelings." About eleven o'clock in the evening of the 3d June, the following reply to Mr. Tennyson's letter (No. 3.) was de livered at his house in Pak-street: No. 4. Lord Thomas Cecil to Mr. Tennyson. 178, Piccadilly, June 3. St a,—The impression on my mind certainly is, that you used the term execrable man, or execrable person, as applied to Lord Exeter. Several of my friends, who were standing near me at the time, were of the same opinion ; and on referring to my short-hand writer's notes, I found the following sentence : "At the same time I believe him (meaning the Mayor) to be a worthy, but a weak man—a poor, miserable instru ment in the hands of that execrable persons who has visited you with so many afflictions." lam happy to find, how• ever, by the letter I have just received from you, that we have been mistaken. I conclude that the noise and confusion whit's prevailed on the hustings at the close of the poll, prevented my hear. lag the extent of your public expression of regret for the overheated terms into which you might have been hurried during the election. I understand that it only referred to expressions which had been made use of by you towards the Mayor and Corporation—otherwise I should not have troubled:you with the communication which I felt myself compelled to..make to you this morning. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, C. Tennyson, Esq. THOMAS CECIL. In The Morning herald of Monday, the 6th June, ap. pored the following paragraph :- 1 MR. TENNYSON AND TR, MARQUESS OF EXETII. On Saturday we copied from the Stamford Mercury of Friday last, a paragraph concerning the dinner given at Oak -1 ham on the 30th ult. to the Members for the County of Hut. land. It was there stated that at this dinner Mr. Tennyson, after some observations expressive of his opinion that all election feuds should subside as soon as possible, gave the health of the Marquess of Exeter.' This statement, it ap pears, is altogether erroneous ; aad we think it due to Mr. Tennyson to copy from the Stamford New (published on the same day as the iferetrry), that part of his speech which relates to the matter which has been thus misrepre. rented ; and as the editor of the News was himself present, we cannot doubt the authenticity of the long and full report which he has given of the whole proceedings. ' The following is the extract from Mr. Tennyson's speech above referred to : I " Now, Gentlemen, before I sit down, I must observe that there is one toast which, perhaps, from a delicacy towards my feelings, was omitted on this occasion : it was not, I am sure, an inadvertent omission in a meeting of this description, which is composed of many of the most prominent and res. portable men of this county, amongst whom such a toast must have been customary—(disorder, and expressions of surprise). I allude to the toast of the L ord Lieutenant of the county of Rutland. Now, Gentlemen, I entreat that I may not be misunderstood; nothing shall ever induce me— so 000 help me—to sacrifice the rights of the people to any man, be he who he may, for a personal object [cries of "We won't have it, Mr. Tennyson.") Let me assure you, as the Member for regenerated Stamford, that so far as I am personally concerned, the toast is a matter of indiffe rence to me, [cries of "We won'thave It at any rate:"] so far as regards that noble house which has arrayed Itself against the common feeling of the people of England; fee so long as i have a leg to stand u long as I have a tongue to speak the sentiments ort f lr people, so long will I raise my voice against that house, or any other which shall dare to invade the rights of the peopb. Yet, having no per. weal hostility to any man, and understanding that, out of delicacy to myself, the toast was omitted, I will give it, not in the sample terms in which you have usually heard it, but Prosperity to the House of Cecil. and may they, profiting by the lesson they have received (cheers), learn to respect the Z:gisd aof the people' (cheers, and cries of Good 1' Noble!' • with . N o , no. we can't drink it'.) But when Mr. Tennyson au down, the sentiments he had uttered were acknowledged by tremendous cheering." On Tuesday, the 7th of June, in consequence of Mr. Ten nyson having been delayed by business at the Treasury and elsewhere, he did not arrive at the Ordnance Office until half pint four o'clock, when he found upon his table the follow. ins letter, marked " immediate." No. b. Lord Thorns. Cecil to Mr. Tennyaon. 178,Piccadilly. Monday evening, June G. Sri--I regret so short a time should elapse since our cor respondence took place on the 3d instant, in which in the handsomest manner you denied having made use of certain expressions during the la:e election. which were obnoxious to me, but having read a paragraph in this morning's paper. wherein you accuse myself and family of having " invaded the rights of the people," and also that you hope they may, " profiting by the lesson they have received, learn to re spect the rights of the people ;" I again feel myself under the necessity of addressing you. I only trust this is an error of the Press, and that you will again satisfy my feelings in stating, thatyou never could have uttered such epithets, which you hare been reported to have made use of at the public dinner at Oakham on the 30th May. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient Servant, C. Tennyson, Esq. THOMAS CECIL. After petusing this letter, Mr. Tennyson immediately conferred with Colonel Maberly, who was at the Ordnance Office, and with his approbation returned the following an swer No. 6. Mr. Tennyson to Lord Thomas Cecil. Ordnance Office, Tuesday, 7th June, 1831. My Loin—l had not the honour of receiving your Lord ship's letter dated last night, until this afternoon at half past four o'clock. It wu far from my intention to occasion pain to you by any thing which I said at the Oakham dinner; indeed. it is evident that ,he terms you object to were coupled with an expression of good feeling towards the House of Cecil in their private capacity. I cannot recollect the precise words which I employed, but I really find nothing in those attributed to me which I ought to repudiate. Throughout the late contest at Stamford, I had uniformly contended that the Mar. quess of Exeter, by discharging his tenants on account of the votes they had given in 1030, had "Invaded the rights of the people." This language corresponds with that of the resolution of the House of Commons, which declares the interference of Peers at elections to be a high infringement of the liberties and privileges of the Commons of England ; and I must accordingly consider myself justified in publicly adopting it, however I may regret that your Lordship's feel ing were wounded by it on the occasion to which you refer. I have the barmy to be, my Lord, Your Lordship's obedient servant, The Lord Thos. Cecil. CHAS. TENNYSON. Dlr. Tennyson returned to his house in Park-street, and being at dinner with his family and a few friends ' received, at eight o'clock, the following letter, which, as Lord Thomas Cecil's name was written at the corner, he immediately opened . : No 7. _ _ _ _ _ _ - - Lord Thomas Cecil to Mr. Tennyson. 178, Piccadilly, June 7. SIR,—It is a matter of Indifference to me whether you attack myself or my family in a public or private capacity. You have made use of expressions which no gentleman can submit to from another, rendered more strong and personal by the continued warfare that has existed for the last twelve months, and which I had trusted had been brought to an end at the close of our late correspondence of the Sd inst. Therefore, I can only repeat my hopes that you will with draw those expressions which are obnoxious to m) feelings, or have the kindness to send a friend to Colonel Standen, 92, Piccadilly, who will arrange the only alternative left me to remove the stigma which you attached to my character. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient Servant, C. Tennyson, Esq. THOMAS CECIL. 31r. Tennyson, taking the first opportunity of leaving the room without exiting suspicion, wrote and instantly dis patched to Colonel Moberly the following letter : No. 8. Mr. Tennyson to Colonel Makerly. 4, Park -street, Westminster, nine o'clock, P. 11. 7th June, 1831. MY DIAL MAIZILILT.....At eight o'clock ( an hour ago)' the enclosed letter war delivered to me here. have a fury at dinner, and the ladles having this instant left the room, I have come out for the purpose of sending it to you. 1 place my honour unreservedly in our hands. I am confident you will consider only what I owe to my self as a gentleman and u your friend. I am going to two balls with my daughters, and have no alternative. I will contrive to call on you at 4, Cumberland. place, but it will be late--perhaps very late. I think the best arrangement for a meeting would be to-morrow morning very early, u I will leave my daughters under some other protection...indeed my eldest son will be with them. I will come to you and will not return home until all is over. I must leave it to you to provide what is necessary, for I cannot without creating suspicion. Haste, your sincere friend. C. TENNYSON. I send you all the letters which have passed, and the newspaper the report of my speech at Oakham. The packet containing this letter (No. 8) and the accom 11".1.ipnIc Pa , P a e t r utt w 2 " o mdehlitt:teseredbeteC;ol.lllBocbir ly , in t Cumber.relae r 1 sent back a verbal message by Mr. Tennyaon's servant, re. questing that, if possible, Mr. T. would remain at home un til Cal. Maberly should el! in Park-street, which he hoped to do shortly. Mr. Tennyson accordingly remained in Park-street. CoL Maberly did not call there until three o'clock on Wednesday morning, whet he asked Mr. Tennyson whether he placed himself implicitly in his (Col. Maberly's hands.) Mr. Ten nyson replied, that he had distinctly done so in the letter he had written to him, and was ready to act upon any arrangt menus Col. blaberly might have made. Col. laberly then said that he had seen Col. Standen, and read to Mr. Tennyson the following paper, which he and Col. Standen had agreed upon as stating their separate views of the matter in question. It was as fellows Na 9. " Twelve o'clock. Colonel Maberly called on Colonel Standen in con. sequence of the letter received by Mr. Tennyson from Lord Thomas Cecil, when Colonel Standen demanded that an apology should be made for the expressions used, and Ms ,expressions retractrd, or a meeting take place. To this Colonel Moberly answered, that Mr. Tennyson in his letter of that evening, in reply to Laid Thomas Cecil, had already repretsed his regret that be should have wounded his feel ' Inge, and that no further apology semed to him to be neces sary, but that Mr. Tennyson would be perfmtly willing to assure Lord Thomas of it again should it be required of him, though Colonel Maberly could not advise him to retract the expressions used. On the other hand, with regard to a meeting, he could not feel himself justified in allowing Mr. Tennyson to meet Lord T. Cecil, as his own feeling was, that Mr. Tennyson had in no way overstepped the fair line of public discussion in what he had said, and that in using the terms 'invading the rights of the people,' and hoping this would be a lesson to the house of Cecil never to Invade their rights again,' he had only employed words which were in constant use, which conveyed no offensive meaning, and which Lord Thomas Cecil had no right In any way to question. Under: these circumstances, having had no communica don with - Mr. Tennyson on the subject, except being em powered to act for him unreservedly, and taking all the serious responsibility of the advice lie was giving upon him self, he could not allow him to meet Lord Thomas Cecil for using language which, as a public man, be conceives' him perfectly justified in doing, and which Mr . Tennyson was again rudy to declare he did not wish to employ offen sively, nor with any intention whatever of wounding Lord Thomas Cecil's feelings. Colonel Standen differed' entirely with Colonel Ma berly, and was not satisfied with the view he took of the subject, mum particularly after the many unjustifiable at tacks Mr. Tennyson had made on Lord Thmas Cecil and his family. Mr. Tennyson, having offered a gross insult to Lord Thomas Cecil, should have been ready to apologise, and withdraw his obnoxious expressions, or be prepared to defend them. Colonel Maberly then informed Mr. Tennyson, that as he had placed himself in his (Colonel Msberly's) han ds, he must consider this as anal; and that if he were disposed to deem it otherwise, so decided was Colonel Alaberly's opinion on the subject, that Mr. Tennyson must in that case endeavour to find another friend to act for him. kA.W.VE IV JRELAXD. Extracts from very teernt Letters from the scene of Famine and Distrers in Ireland, forwarded to the Western Com. mitre fur the relief of the Irish Poor : (From the Rev. W. B. Stoney.) " Glebe House, Newport, Mayo, June 6, 1831. " The famine Is beyond description dreadful here. The sights and sounds of woe arc heart-rending. Though I have expended in loans near 81.101. since the first of April, the greater part of which is borrowed money, it seems as if the want of fond increased in proportion to the efforts to give re lief. Hundreds have by it been saved from death. Provi. lions are rising in price, on account of the great demand• The people in parts of the interior of the country prevented our can from coining with oatmeal, fearing a scarcity them selves from the constant drain. Several from twenty to twenty-five miles distant on the sea-coast were here to-day, scarcely able to walk from hunger and fatigue; their hag gard looks and cries of despair would melt the hardest limn. Some had to be revived with cordials and bread to prevent death. I believe this is the most extensive district and most distressed part of Ireland. 1 offer up in my Church the prayer appointed in our Liturgy for a time of famine." (From Mr. Dombrain, Inspector-General of the Coast Guard.) " County Mayo, Bellmullet, Sunday, June 5, 1831. " The price of potatoes, two months ago, was only 24. per cwt. the worst description are now, with difficulty, to be had at 4s. 2d ; oatmeal has risen from 13L in the Hollins market, to 191. and we have two months of the worst and most trying to come. Here the distress is as great as in Donegal, anti, I feel convinced that, do what you can, many, very many ; must die from actual starvation before food can arrive. The inclosed is • copy of an Official Report made to me by the Inspecting . . . . - Commissioner here, and In addition be has assured me that a number of cattle having died from disease, they were, after their skins bad been taken off, buried under ground, but such was the state of the poor for want of food that they actually dug them up and eat them." " Bellmullet, Ist June, 1831. " I feel it my duty to Inform you (with reference to the dreadful dearth of provision in Err's) of a circumstance which occurred on Monday last. A shoal of porpoises having ap peared in Bly-bay, they were chased by the boats of the Lee cruiser, and five of them driven on shore under Bingham Castle, and killed by Owen Parry, Coast Blockade, who in tended to have them cut up for the blubber ; but the pea santry haring observed the destruction of the finny tribe, they rushed in hundreds to the beach, with pots and kettles, and in a very short time greedily devoured every particle of them (except the bones). I do most painfully submit,:it but too truly exhibits the state of the all-but-famishing popula tion daily (indeed I may add hourly) mote apparent. And I respectfully beg to observe, that unless supplies are forth with abundantly sent it, all the potato crops will be destroyed, as the peasantry will from necessity tear them up before they are half grown, and cause a greater dearth next year."

LAW REPORTS. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, SATURDAY, JUNE CRIMINAL INFOU MtT lON. Mr. CAMPBELL shewed cause against a rule for a criminal information obtained by Messrs. HEADLAND and CORK, Solicitors, against JAMES THOMPSON and Meters. CUNNINGHAM And SALMON, for a libel in The Sotrisi. After both parties had been heard, the Court discharg:d the rule. The facts of the case to which the libel r.. ferred were as follows :—A person named Gregory had taken possession of a house under a covenant that a person named Walker, who let it to him, would make out a good title to it within a limited time. He failed to do so, and Gregory, keeping possession, was arrested by Welker for rent, although he bad no legal tight to do so, and Headland, who was ac. quainted with all the circumstances, had acted as attorney for Walker in the covenant and arrest. With respect to the rule against Messrs. Cunningham and Salmon, whom the plaintiffs had sworn they believed to be the real printers ut the Satiria, affidavits had been made by Thompson and the two others that they were. This rule would, thetefore be discharged as to them on that ground, but without costs. azx V. JONES. In this case, it will be recollected, the defendant, who ii a respectable surgeon. had been found guilty of giving a cer tificate of lunacy without having seen the patient for some time, who afterwards turned out to be sane. T.te defendant, on his coming up for judgment, stated on affidavit that I.e was not aware that he was obliged by the Act of Parliament to see the indent immediately before the aignlng of the cer tificate. Lord Ts/mutt:put said it was perhaps as well to warn medical gentlemen against this error; and Mr. Justice LITTLEDALZ passed judgment on the dticudant, who w.ts sentenced to pay a fine of 2W. to the King. EX-PASTE GASEILL. Sir Loma SCAILLZTT applied to the Court in behalf of Mr. Gaskill, a solicitor at Wigan, for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Henry Cropp, printer and publisher of the Bolton Chro nicle, for a libel lately published in that paper. The subject arose out of the late election at Wigan, and dur. Mg which it was insinuated that Mr. Gaskill had had recourse to some unfair expedients, in order to favour the cause of the Tory Candidates, by writing an anonymous letter. Mr. Gaskill stated, that from a variety of circumstances it was generally understood that he was alluded to ; and he had the affidavits of several others, stating their belief that such was the ease. Mr. Gaskill swore that he did not write the anonymous letter, and that he never wrote an anonymous letter in his life, and all his clerks swore that none of them wrote it. Mr. Gaskill added, that he believed the intent, as well as the tendency of this imputation, to be to bold hint up to public indignation, which, at a time like the present, might be followed by serious injury to his property, and even to his person. —Rule granted.
