Massena is to be King of Portugal, and must conquer his kingdom by the aid of the French and Spaniards, who w►ll be united under the same co lours : it will be the same with the kingdom of Po land and Prussia—the new Kings must go and conquer them, from Russia and Prussia.—lt is pro bable that our force, and the forces of Germany. and all the Rhenish confederacy, will be united for the grand operation. 66 Such is the news of the day, which is derived from good sources." ,f MASSACRE IN SOUTH AMERICA. Cruelty is the native of every soil, the produce of every age. The 16th, 17th, and 18th centtuiiss saw it deluging .Europe with blood. It has now emigrated beyond tl),.‘ confines of the old world, and once more invaded the peace and happiness of the new. We state , i some time ago, that a dread massacre had taken place at Quito on the 2d of August last, during the contention excited by the intended formation of a Junta, independent of FER DINAND NIL We regret that the rage of parties should have risen so high as to lead to the atrocities derailed in the following extracts frorri the Trinidad Papers, with . which we were favoured last night : " Immediately after this bloody Saint Bartho lomew" (alluding to the first massacre), the Nobi lity were invited to assemble at the Government House, to congratulate them on their not having been comprehended in what was termed the con spiracy, but, dreadful to relate, they were shot to man, by the troops which surrounded the Govern pent House, who were afterwards ordered to dis perse through the city, and put man, woman, and child to the sword ; this was literally obeyed. Ic is computed that 700 persons were murdered on this occasion, among whom is the Marquis DE SALVA- T.EGRE I a man of great science, to whom HUNl pour. was indebted for all his information respect ing that country. " It appears further, that this bloody project had been concerted with the `Viceroy of Santa Fe, to whom the Governor of Quito had immediately dis patched an express, to acquairt him of the success; but the Junta of Santa FL having intercepted the dispatch, the Viceroy was apprehended, tried by law, convicted, and executed. "The news ofthis terrible catastrophe was brought to Caraccas by the young Marquis of SALVALEGAE, whose father had fallen a victim to his patriotism. " The effect it produced en the Caraquenos was instant and unanimous—a cry of vengeance against the Europeans pervaded all parts of the city and province—many of the principal European ham- Wants were imprisoned ; and in the first moment of indignation, the expulsion of every European was resolved on; but the Junta, always prudent in their determinations, have, we, are informed, con fined•that order (with iew exc ep tions) to the Gua chupins, who have been ordered to quit the pro vince •in six days. The same decision had been also taken at Barcelona and Cumana." • ..1 11 . 01 seimr!divoi•• 4ftwammei 71 P.ROVIIVCIALS. MONTHLY AGRICULTUR.AL REPORT. The appearance of the wheat still continues sickly on that side, which, uncovered by the suow, remained exposed to the action of the northerly and easterly winds during the late frost ; and the differ nee in hue and healthy countenance, between this, and that part covered and protected,.is very striking. The changes, however, of wheat in the grass, so continual through. out every season, are of very little consequence ; the Ares tiht unfavourable aspect will be readily improved by good wer Bean planting, the immediate object of etnploymcnt, is rather backward in g eneral ; but the la .ti w orks well, ha-ring received considerable i)cnetit from the frost. All the rartous operation* of husbandry, proper to the season, are going forward without impediment, and almost universally, with degrees of improvree - ni , T.t, and support from ample funds, peculiar and highly c ditable to ihe present times. The practice of drilling, or sow ino, in rows, in order to fac.litate the extirpation of weeds, is said to have declined hi some particular districts, but to be in• creasing yearly, as a general practice. The stock cf turnips and cattle food at present, very sufficient and goo , d rein:it:ling un hurt by the frost. The stock of catiie itself, very great, and markft 3 going on in the general routine. Store pigs, a1th0..4,71i in considerable pkitty, very dear; much pork expected to be made. Great dem and from Ireland to: breeding stock of this description. The fiorin graii, the uses - of which have lately been discovered by tr. Richardson, of CionJ fecle, in Ireland, itrider experimental culture in various parts ,f En&aTY.I, Scotiand, and WitieS, aid great hopes entertained of its utility. The wheat markets have been fur some time at a stand; but to expect then. cheaper, seems out of all probabilityb since the crop has at last turned out considerably below an ave rage one; and tin increasing demand, bo th for home consump, tion, and that of our armies and ai!ies abroad, will be fully equal to our power of supply, however considerable may be the imp orts. Some time ago the Exciseman of a Scotch village, having drink rather freely fell asleep on his way home.,.atid was found next morning, almost lifeless from cold, by syme colliers going to their work, who, whether from motive"' 9f humanity, or to gratify a waggish disposition, we know not, carried him with them to the bottom of the pit, where leaving him to his repose, they commenced their labour. After some time he awoke, ut terly at a loss to discover where he was; but filled with horror at the darkness that surrounded him—th-e noise of the water running in every direction—and the glimmering of lights at i dishaice, by which he was el:abled to discover, at intervals, figures that bore a resemblance to the human form ; these were both male and female, and smoking, as the colliers generally do, with very short pipes, there appeattd, to the imagination of the terrified %Night, to issue from their mouths and nostrils vo lumes of e and smoke. In fact, he was s.2.riously impro.ssed with an idea, that the Scotch Song—The Dell's awa turth; Ex ciseman, had been verified in his case, and that lie had arrived in the Infernal Regions. On being asked by, as he supposed / one of the imps of his Satanic Mai,:sty, what red was ? he replitd with great trepidation—" Oh, I . was a gaug 'the idler warld, but I diana ken what I'm to be in this." SUNINIART PcNtslimr.N T.—The following ludicrous circum stance occurred on Tuesday week at Bristol: Two Jews being taken is the act of stealing several articles from the 'Stables of the White Hart Inn, were hauled into the yard by two stout feliows, whither the whole fraternity of the curry-comb were immediately summoned. The long beards of these disciples were then stuck together with pitch, ths•ir hands being previ ously tied behind them; and, while thus face to face, a profu sion of spud", mixed with irf.blibore, was administered, hich caused tlLoat to sneeze in such a manner, that by the frequent and violent rubbing of noses one against the other, a copious s tream of blood i , sued from each nostril, while the enraged culprits were kicking and capering about in all directions.; and it was not until they asked forgiveness, and vowed nev er war n to commit depredations up on p eo p le's property, that they we released from their delectable situation, by cutting their beards asunder with a p..ir of shears. There was lately found on Tyninghame Sands, near Dunbar, the dead body of a large wolf.—There were several of wounds on its head, and a cut on its neck, and, from the appearance the body, it had not been long dead. It was immediately skinned and stuffed, and is in good preservation. The colour is light dusky yellow, black ridge down the back, and nearly white in the belly and breast. It has a sharp snout s erect ears, strong fore parts, and a bushy tail. Th e len g th from the snout to the tip of the tail is six feet. The legs are shorter than user all described. It is conjectured the creature had been an board toms of the vessels l a tely wrecked the eeast.
