He will, I have hale doubt, soon experience the effect of his system in New Granada, many provinces of which are represented to be in a state of open revolt against their oppressors.

He is the popular Saint of Venezuela at present, instead of St. James. He has fought their battles like a hero, and preserved the honour of his country by the most disinterested conduct. Where he was there was no plundering, and those who served under him admire his discipline. I American Papers to the 16th ult. confirm the Intel-! ligence, before received, of the Spanish forces having quitted Amelia Island in the beginning of 6eptem-. ber ; and those on the neighbouring Main having taken up their line of march for Sr. Augustin.

The Havannah Government Journal, of the 81h of September. contains a Proclamatibn by the Go. vernor of Mexico, dated the 12th of July, in a long preamble to which he states how little the Royal Go. vernment has to fear from " the hopeless condition of the traitors Mina, Mier, Toyres, and Moreno."— It concludes with the following murderer : _ 1.

On Modday the 5 per Cents had risen to 65 fr. 20 c. By the Paris Papers of Mondiy it appears, that TALLEYRAND has resumed his functions as Grand Chamberlain. An article from Petershnrgh in the same papers, repeats the intelligence, that the Emperor of Cute* has testified his desire of having resident Foreign Ministers at his Ceurt, and adds, that the Emperor of Ruasts had deteimined upon sending a Minister Plenipotentiary to Pekin. In the same article we are told. that General YERSIALOFF, tne Russian Ambits. sador to Persia, bad been received, after passing the Persian frontiers, with great distinction: Besides the general purpose of this mission to maintain a good understanding betwee n R uss i a an d Persia, it is stated, that the Ambassador bes private instructions, that the mission embraces objects relating to commerce and the sciences, and that several Of were to quit the Legalise at Ispaban to proceed into the territo. rtes of *el i tist:es-whose States are sitasted between Persia and the British possessions in the East Indies, for the as alleged, of establishing with them camm er ci • Malkin. This of course will be held out as the ostensible object of these missions, but it is impossible to view Such an approximation of Rus• Irian diplomac to our East Indian possessions, without considerable feel in g s of jealooiy and apprehension.

Sir Joule BORLASZ WARREN' embarked this morn ing on board the Flora, Captain Wsrsox, for Calais; and Lnrd RANCLIM in the Lady Jane James, fur the same port. A melancholy accident happened in Falmouth har bour on Friday aliening. As Captain Moms, of the Albion, of Ilfracombe, was going ashore, with two of his men, a violent squall upset the boat, ow ing to the sheet being imprudently 'fastened, a nd the passengers were all precipitated into the water. Ooe of the men was unfortunately drowned, leaving a wife and two children to lament his fate. Captain Mentam clung to the gunnel of the boat, and the other men held by his leg, until a boat from St. Mawe's (being the first of several that pot off to their assistance) happily rescued them, when nearly ex hausted, from their perilous situation. The following is an Extract of a Letter from a Field Officer in the Portuguese service, transmitted by a mercantile House in Lisbon to their Correspon dents in Glasgow, as containing the best information respecting the state of military affairs on the frontiers 'of Spain and Portugal. It sheers how strong the im-' Fabian of impending hostilities was on the spot : " PORTALEGRE, SIIPTASIBIR 30. le You will perhaps be surprised to I•ear that my wife is busy packing up, in case of a hasty warning, to depart foe Lisbon ; although I am still of opinion that it will not be necessary. The fact is, that the Spaniards are collected in considerable force on the frontiers ; I believe in our neighbourhood, in Estre niadura, they have from 15 to 20,000 men ; in this is included all the train of an army ready to take the field; artillery, cavalry, sappers, miners, &c. dec.— k:)'Dcanell, Conde de Abisbal, commands in chief, and certainly their appearance indicates hostile inten aims. The Portuguese Government have taken the most hasty measure to put their garrisons in a state of defence, arse! unite their forces. The militia in this I province are *ailed our, receiving pay, a thing never done but on the greatest emergencies; and one bat talion of them from Villa Viciosa has already marched into Campo Major, and another into Fort la Lippe, at Elves, to form the garrisons. All leave, of ab sence are recalled, and the Officers ordered to join forthwith ; and! have orders to be ready to march at a moment's notice, which will certainly take place the moment our Commanding Officer sees a move ment among the Spaniards;, indeed, from appear ances, I should not be astonished to be ordered out to-morrow. The causes that have led to these hasty indications of war, I am at a loss to account for, un less it is the Portuguese continuing to keep ome Video, contrary to the wishes of Ferdinand; hut you in Lisbon are more likely to know the motives than we are in the interior." tYMNI.EithANG4 .

DM(' , NOVEMBER s. This morning Munn Turner took leave of his relations. No fewer than eleven waked on him to bid him a last farewell. His father is confined to his bed by sickness, but his aged mother, whom he had not expected to see, was one of the melancholy gronpe. Two brothers, a sister, a krother's wife, and stveral of his nephews, were of the party. They remained with him a considerable time, and parted from him in an agony which sets all description at defiance.— He displayed more fortitude than might have been expected, judging of him from bis previous conduct, and when they were gone, he appeared consoled by the reflection that he had had an opportunity of see. ing so many of his fti.nds for the last time. Mr. Picketing, the Chaplain, is unremitting in his attentions. He visited the prisoners this forenoon.— When he saw Brandreth, he questioned him respect ing his former life and connections, but the answers he received were geaerally little to the purpose. The unhappy man is, if any change can be remarked in him, more reserved than ever. On an inquiry being made as to the character and situation of his parents, he begged to be excused, and said on that subject he must be allowed to be silent. His beard he still re tains, and he declares it to be his intention to die with it. On the subject of the murder he offers no explanation. His guilt or innocence in that respect he asserts to be a question between Con and his own soul. He is not satisfied that he thculd be cendemn• ed for that crime, as he maintains it was not proved on the trial to have been committed j:sy him. Whelk reminded by the Chaplain of the strong evidence given on the trial against him as the murderer, his answer was, e , No one saw me do it ;" and to the observation which this called forth, " that such proof had been afforded, by those who were near hun at the time, as lest no doubt on the subject," he coolly replied, " that none of the witnesws could prove it, for he did not see hoe: those who were in front of tl.e house could know what was passing at the hack."— Nothing more satisrectory on this head could be ex toned from him. It has been said that Brandreth is a native of Ire land, and that at different periods of his life he has got his bread as a drover, a whitesmith, a sailor, and a stocking-maker. That he has filled the last three characters seems to be distinctly ascertained ; bet he ' is generally thought to be an Exeter man. In the very brief accounts which he has given of himself, he has said he was sent to school by his parents when young, and might bete received a good education, had he been disposed to profit by the opportunities afforded him for acquiring knowledge. He'possesses a vigorous, but uncultivated mind. When the Chaplain enters(' that part /if the prison where Turner and Ludlam are confined, both eagerly askeJ with an affecting anxiety, how Brandreth WAS in his mind t —and whether he was duly sensible of the crime he had committed in depriving a fellow creature of life ? The Reverend Gentleman was of coarse obliged to reply to these questions, that Bran dretb, though open to religious impressions—thougrl repentant in the main fur the sins of his past life, was less affected by the recollection of the murder he had committed than might be wished. Ot the enormity of his conduct in that particular case, he was not duly sensible, and the blood of his victim did not press very heavily on his mind. Ludlam and Turner listened with great attention to the statement which their questions called forth, and both expressed much regret that their fellow sufferer was not more awake to the guilt which had attached to his conduct. They had feared such was the fact ; they sincerely mourn ed his insensibility, and hoped his eyes might yet be opened to see his crime in its proper light. For themselves they appeared better prepared for the last awful, scene, than they had been at any prev . ious in terview. Turner was very penitent, and most ear nest in his devotions. He 'expr ssed a wish to be furnished with a small prayer-book, Mhich tie propos ed to give to his sister Alice. Such a memoiial of him he was satisfied she would like to receive, an d he trusted, with the blessing of the ALsoctrry, she would derive more bendit front a Look given to fur under such circumstances, than from one of which she might possess herself by any means. Mr..Pick eying kindly gratified him in this, by presenting hint 'with a prayer book, %%hie) he received with proper feelings of thankfulness. A similar request was pre leered by Isaac Ludlam. lie was anxious to have it in hi.; power to present a small religious book to a son, who now lives at home with his mother. The Chaplain had net the bot,l: at hand to give, but he promised to purchase it for him without less of time. It is alnuist superfluous to say, that with this as xr ance the unfortunate man was satisfied. He seemed to be deeply penetrated with gratitude by the bene volent attentions paid to his in this respect, as well as in every other. The afflicting interview which yesterday took place between Ludlam and his wile and daughter, was in tended to be their last. He, however, cannot be con tent to meet his fate till he has beheld them once more. la consequence of his having expressed a particular wish to see them again, they are to pay another visit to the prison to-morrow, when they must bid him a last farewell, as it will not be consi dered proper to suffer his thoughts to be disfurf , ed during the few moments that remain to him on Fri day, by the shock which a new interview must infllct on his agitated mind in the last solemn hour of pre puation for eternity. About half-past two o'clock on Sunday morning the Bah and Biistol mail-coach was completely upset into a deep and broad ditch on the side of the road, a mile and a half beyond Reading. There were four inside and two outside passengers with the coach at the time the accident occurred; and, fortunately, the whole of them escaped without receiving any mate rial injury.

WILLIAM Ammar; v. AIIRAMASI It will be in the recollection of the publit, that Abraham Thornton was tried at the last Warwick. shire Assizes on an indictment for the wilful murder of a young woman, named Mary Ashford, who Was found drowned'in a pit of water, under circumstances of extraordinary suspicion. On that occasion the Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. Since which, it became matter of general report, that the next re lative of the deceased, intended to put in motion the ancient law of Engl and, which gives the subject a right to prefer an Appeal of Murder in this Court, in such cases. This report seems to have been eon firmed. A Writ of Appeal having been directed to the Sheriff of Warwickshire, in the ancient form, and a Writ of Habeas Corpus having also been issued to that Officer, commanding him to bring up the body of Abraham Thornton on the first day of this Mfr. Mr. CLARICE now knoved that the prisoner be br.nintir into Coon, to plead to the boont of appeal. The Sheriff accordingly brought in his prisoner, who heiug placed on the floor of the Court, Mr. I.l.tatow, Secynclai y in the Crown Oftee, wad the Writ of Habeas Corpus, and the Shrtiff's teinrn thereto.
