Admiral and Commander in Chief of his Britannic Majesty's naval forces in the West Indies. &c. &c. " Your Excellency's communications of the 40th November last, addressed to the First Magistrate of the Republic, demand• sng the person of the Portuguese. Emanuel Nieves, formerly commander of a Spanish flotilla, in consequence of his having in the mouth of the Oronoco, in October last year. assassinated Geo. M•Aithur, master of the English schooner Eagk, only came to my hands by the way of Caracas, on the sth inst. " As your Excellency mentioned Captain Fraser, and as this gentleman is at present in this ci y, Aide de Camp to General D'Evereux, I thought it fight to require of {rim a detail of the transaction. in order to instruct my Govett.ment in all that might tend to the formation of a correct opinion on so lamentable an o:cunence. " Flom this detail, and other information which I have ob tained, it appears that Nieves is in fact guilty of the horrid crime of w itch he stands accused. It also appear:, that he was taken prisoner b 1 one of oar/la./tem:, and that subsequently, at the time when Lumens sturendesed, he was admitted into the Columbian service. " When the General in Chief of the eastern provinces admitted Nieves among the defenders of the ...public, he was undoubt edly ignorant of the crimes which tendered him unworthy of being the companion of brave patriots, which, during the space of eleven years, have given such evident proofs of virtue and moderation. " It is not by any means the wish of my Government to see in our country . men of this ascription, whatever in other respects may be their personal qualities. •• Nieves was made prisoner by the arms of Colum' is, and aonscqueduly must be responsible before the tribunals of this country. until the condign punishment due to his atrocities shall b,: inflicted on him. as en enemy to human kind. o The better to carry this into effect, I have on this date com mune ated to the Signor Intendant of Venesuela, by order of his Excellency the Vice President, orders to have the person of Nieves secured and debased up to the competent *whinnies, to be tried and judged. soon and executively, according to the laws. As soon as 1 shall be informed o( the issue of there orders. I shall communicate it to your Excelleucy . for i your satisfaction. " I dare anticipate , that your Vp.. lency and the British na tion will rest fully saddled of the promptitude and impartiality with which justice is administered in Columbia. Permit me. however, to add. that if Nieves had nut been taken prisoner, a circumstance that has placed his fate at due discretion of this country. it would have been very difficult to have accomplished the desire of your Excellency, for our constitution and our laws prescribe to us an inviolable obseivance of the right of seylaine towards all foreigners who take shelter under the protection of this Republic. t They (the constitution and the laws) consider as innocent any individual who may come from other countries to establish himself among us. and without login' mg into his anterior mural actions, his present conduct is only to be watched, and punished or rewarded. according to his deserts. in the same manner as those who enjoy ins right o; citizenship by birth. " My Goverment is fully resolved not to deviate from this rob. traced, as it is, by humanity, which cannot but be agree able to your Excellency as a friend to mankind, and as a menthe of a magnanimous and generous nation, in winch tile wretched of' countries lass fortunate have Msrays found an undisturbed asylum. •• I have the honour of renewing to your Excellency the most sincere expressions of mv respect and cor.siderrown, and am, Sir, yotuliscellcsicy's very devoted humble servant. •• PEDRO 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 successor 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 nevertheless the fact.—His Majesty returned to Carlton House shortly after five o'clock—and for this day a Cabinet Council is summoned, which will be occupied by the very dilicult considerat i on of how to fill up the chasm created by thellihith 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 suffident compensation for the insalubrity of an eastern climate in the hand some emoluments of an eastern governorship. PARIS, Auo 27.—1 t is said this evening, that a Council of Ministers has been held, in come-. (pence of the news from Madrid received by the Government, and that the admission of the new Ambassador from Madrid has Leen discussed. The report is current at Bourdeaux that the last messenger from the Spanish Cabinet, who passed through that city, was the bearer of defy/itches of the highest importance. Ihis evening, about seven ciao& a courier ar- - rived from Spain, for the Ministry of Foreign At. • fairs. Commercial letters announce that the Austrian Cabinet is less than ever disposed in favour of the new order of things in Spain. Movements which are to be made by the Cordon Sanitaire are spoken of. It is believed that M. de Chateaubriand will go I to the Congress, and that he, has bad the preference `over M. de la Bourdonnaye and the Duke of Fits- James. The Russian Ambassador left Paris yesterday for Vienna. The Count Gabriac, First Secretary of Embassy of France in Russia, has just reached Paris with despatches. He left St. Petersburgh the 11th. The Emperor had irrevocably fixed his departure for Vienna fir the 16th. It is mentioned in letters from Vienna, of the 17th, that the Congress nil' first meet in that capi tal, and after fixing 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 asist inlay. The other Italian Princes may hiewise be admitted to have u sight of their masters. The conferences, it is supposed, will begin atNientia about the middle of September, uad at Veriont about the beginning of October.

Earl of rorilmouth, about wjtom so much has lately said, is now at his seat, Hunsbourne. park, near Andover, Hants, where he is watched and attended in all his movements, by an officer connected with the principal Polite-office of the metropolis. When his lordship, on the occasion of his rapid journey from Edinburgh some few weeks ago, arrived at the seat 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 wrion. They re mained with him until one departed for flurtsbaurne park, whither one of them afterwards fullowed, and he now resides there. A similar course was pur sued, on a like occurrence happening three or four 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 his presence for a single moment. These officers were employed upon the instance of the Hon. 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 beats are bare, all the mattings and coverings have been re moved, and the whole is tilled with scaffidding Besides many other alterations to promote the coin modiousness of the house, the whole of the very wainscotted ceiling is to be taken down, fur 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 defective 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, tic. being removed, which prevented the visitors of Hyde Park from having a fair view of this work of art, which has been the subject of so much critical contention. We cannot say we entertain a higher sense of its beauties from a closer iusp:ction. It is surrounded with cheerios 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 Durabarloa Cattle steam-boat, in her way from Graogemouth, with a great number of pas sengers, run 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 safety. Ti' steam-boat got ()Won Thursday without material damag e. One of the passengers who was on board the ship Liverpool, from New York, bound to Liverpool, (which was lost on the Banks of Newfoundland) , 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 on board two days, and caned to Newfoundland. e --., • z
