Your Excellency's communications of the soth November last, addressed to the Fleet Magistrate of the Republic, demand. sag the person of the Portuguese, Emanuel Nieves, formerly commander of a Spanish flotilla, in coneeqiience of his having in the mouth of the Oronoco, in October last year, assassinated Gco. AleAeithur, master of the English schooner Eagle., only came to my hands by the way of Citraccas, on the sth inst. " As your Excellency mentionial Captain Fraser, and as this gentleman is at present in this ci:y, Aide de Camp to General I)'Evereux, I thought it right to require of bins a detail of the transaction, in order to instruct toy Govetninent in all that might tend to the formation bt' a cornea opinion on so lamentable an occurrence. From this detail, and other information which I have ob tained; it appears that Nieves is in fact guilty of the horrid amuse of which he stands accused. it also appears, that he was taken prisoner by one of our jiedteras, ants that subsequently, at the time when Cumana surrendered. he was adulated into the Columbian service. " When the General in Chief of the eastern provinces admitted Nieves among the &Mailers of the Republic, he was undoubt edly ignorant of the crimes which tendered him unworthy of being the companion of brave patriots, whit. during the space of eleven years, have given such evident proofs of virtue and moderation. • "It is not by anyuwans the wish of my Government to see in our country men of 'tidy description, whatever in other aspects • may* their personal qualities. " Nieves was Made mariner by the arms of Colum'aa, and consequently must be responsible before the tribunals at this country, until the condign punishment due to his atrocities shall belntlicted on him, as an enemy to human kind. " The better to carry this into eact, I have on this date com municated to the Signor Intaidant of Venezuela, by order of his Excellency the Vice President, orders to have the person of Nieves secured and delivered up to the competent authorities, to be tried and judged, soon and exectitively, according to the laws. As soon as I shall be Seformed of the issue of these orders, 1 shall communicate it to your Excellency for your satisfaction. •• I dare anticipate, that your Excellency and the British na • tion will rest ftilly satisfied of the promptitude and impartiality • 'with which juittfee is administered in Columbia. Permit me, however, to add, that it' Nieves had not been taken prisoner, a circumstance that has placed his fate at the discretion of this country, it would have been very ili:ficult to have accomplisheu the desire of your Excellency, for our constitution and our laws prescribe to us an inviolable obeetvence Of the right of asylum towards all foreigners who take shelter under the protection of this Republic. They (the constitution and the laws) consider as innocent any individual who may come from other countries to es.tablish ):imself Among us, and without imp-tiling into his anterior moral actions, his present conduct is only to be watched, and punished or rewarded, octant ing to his deserts, in the eanie manner as those who enjoy the right m citizenship by birth. ' • My Government is fully reeolveal not to deviate from this path, traced, as it is, by humanity, which cannot but he agree vide to your Excellency as a friend to mankind, and as a niembe of .s magnanimous and generous nation, in which the wretched of countries less fortunate have always found as undisturbed asylum. I have the honour of renewing to your Excellency the most sincere expressions of my respect sod consideration. and am, Sir, your Excellency's very devoted bumble sr PI D nt, RO GUAL."

Ministers were laughed at when they urged the necessity of having a nursery kept up, at the public cxpence, for the cultivation of political talent—that necessity, however, is now apparent, and the misfor tune is, that the expence has been incurred without the efficient advantage which ought to have been derived from it, for although the late Foreign Secre tary has been dead nearly three weeks no suceessor has as yet been found for him—had he been a Pitt or a Fox, as those were men of a share of mind seldom bestowed on human nature, the existing difficulty might not be so wonderful, but with abilities by no means splendid—with a mind so wanting of elastic capacity as to have fallen under the weight laid upon it, that a diffi culty should arise to supply the place of so mediocre a character, is a fact at once surprising to us, and humiliating to our National Character—such is nevertheiess the fact.—His Majesty's return to Carlton House, is looked for this day—and for to-morrow a Cabinet Council is summoned, which will be occupied by the very difficult consideration of how to fill up Cie chasm created by the death of the Marquis of Londonderry !! We understand that - Sir Lowry Cole is appointed to the government of the Mauritius, in the room of Governor Farquhar, who returns to England forth with. It is said that a distinguished officer who some time back filled an important situation imme diately under his Royal Highness the Commander in Chief, would have obtained this appointment, had his health permitted its acceptance. Sir Lowry Cole will, probably, find a sufficient compensation fur the insalubrity of an eastern climate in the hand some emoluments of an eastern governorship. PARIS, Aua. 27.—1 t is said this evening, that a Council of Ministers has been held, in conse quence of the news front Madrid received by the Government, and that the admission of the new Ambassador from Madrid has been discussed. The report is current at Bourdeaux that the last messenger from the Spanish Cabinet, who passed through that city, was the bearer of despatches of the highest importance. This evening, about seven o'clock, a courier ar- .....- • rived from Spain, for the Ministry of Foreign Al. fairs. Commercial letters announce that the Austrian Cabinet is less than ever disposed in liwour of the new order of things it Spain. Movements which are to be made by the Cordon Sunitaire are spoken of. It is believed that M. de Chateaubriand will go to the Ctmgress, and that he has had the preference over M. de la Bourdennaye and the Duke of Fitz- James. The Russian Ambassador left Paris yesterday for Vienna. The Count Gabriac, First Secretary of Embassy of France in Russia, hats just. reached Paris with, despatches. He left St. Petersburgh the 11th. The Emperor had irrevocably fixed Ins departure fur Vienna for the 16th. It is mentioned in letters from Vienna. of the 17th, that the Congress will first meet in that capi tal, and after fiximg preliminaries, adjourn to Ve rona, whither orders have been sent to prepare lodgings for the reception of the Sovereigns. The Kings of Naples and Sardinia will, it is said, be invited to this august assembly. The other Italian Princes may I;kewise be admitted to have a sight of their masters. The conferences, it is supposed, will begin at Vienna about the middle of September, and at Verona about the begianing of October. Our Ambassador from Constantinople is expected to :3- tend when the utliiirs of the Greeks come under discussion. The Earlof Portsmouth, about whom so much ha* been lately said, is now at his seat, Hur:sbourne park, near Andover, Hants, where he is watched and attended in all his movements, by an officer connected with the principal Police-office of the metropolis. When his lordship, on the occasion of his rapid journey from Edinburgh some few weeks ago, arrived at the scat of Lord Grantley, near Guilford, Surrey, an express was sent off to Lon. don, and two police-officers left town immediately (we understand in the middle of the night) to be in attendance upon his lordship's person. 'They re mained with him until he departed for Hurtsbourne park, whither one of them afterwards tUllowed, and he now resides there. A similar course was pur sued, on a like occurrence happening three or tour years ago. A police-officer was then in attendance upon the noble lord for nearly six months, during which time he rode out in the carriage with him, and scarcely ever quitted bis presence for a single moment. These officers were employed upon the instance of the lion. Newton Falowes, the brother of Lord Portsmouth. St, Stephens Chapel, which has undergone so many changes and improvements, again presents a most dilapidated appearance. All the seats are bare, all the mattings and coverings have been re• moved, and the whole is filled with scaffolding.— Besides many other alterations to promote the corn. modiousness of the house, the whole of the very wainscotted ceiling is to be taken down, for the purpose of introducing several more ventilators. — Although the ventillation of the house was much improved within the last few years, it was still in a very defe.ctive state, and the proposed addition of ventilators will be a great improvement, and one that was much wanted, as all know who were ever compelled to sit in the house or gallery for any length of time. The Wellington statue in Hyde Park, is at length completely developed, the ropes, tarpaulins, acc. being removed, which prevented the visitors of Hyde Park Ttom having a fair view of this work of art, which has been the subject of so much critic," contention. We cannot say we entertain a higher sense of its beauties from a closer insp.etion. It t. surrounded with clammy de frise, and the ground about the statue has been cleared, which now appears in a commanding situation. During the foggy weather on Wednesday evening last, the Dusabarlivi Castle steam-boat, in her way from Grangemouth, with a great number of pas sengers, ran aground near Granton. The thickness of the weather preventing the crew from ascertain ing her exact situation, guns were immediately fired with the view of obtaining assistance from the shore. The Lord President went off himself in the first boat to her assistance, and by his assiduity and at tention, the alarm in the minds of the passengers was greatly reduced, and a great part of their lug gage was at once placed in si.':ety. The steam-boat got off on Thursday without material damage. One of the passengers who was on board the ship Liverpool, from New York, bound to Liverpool, (which was lost on the Banks of Newthundland). who was in one of the three boats with the crew and 15 passengers, states that they wete six days and nights in open boats, and 500 miles from shore, and was reduced to a biscuit and half-pint of water per day, not having been able to save any thing from on board the Liverpool—at length they were picked up by a fishing boat, in which they were oil board two days, and carried to Newfoundland.
