Several persons were much wounded or bank, and some of them dan gerously. The progress of the dames was so rapid that nei ther furniture nor the produce of the hares •t could be saved. The damage is estimated at upwards of 300.u00 francs. Mr. John Barker, the Euglisli Consul-general at Aleppo, arrived at Mat 'Mlles the 29th ult. with all his family, on his slay to England.

The field ratsare soexceedingly multiplied in certain coun tries, to consequence of the greet dryness of the scale'', that, file the purpose of ciseeking the ravages of these ankeak, it has been prescribed by es cry propriety' . in the environs of Landau to deliver daily twelve rats for each florin he has to pay in direct taxes. We are assured that the single village of Offen• bash has delivered within three days, in execution of this 0rder,47,300 rats.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER DATED ANGUSTURA, LATTER END OF JUNE. " General lialivar arrived here near three weeks ago, and is likely to remain here fur some time. I have had many in teiviews with him, nnd like him much. He is frank. affable, well-bred, and tolerably well inforined, but by no means, in . inv opinion, possesses those transeendant abilities which many give him credit for. He is disinterested, devoted to the cause of independence, and is represented by all to be penctilionsly honourable ; bid either as a Statesman or a General, I am much mistaken if his talents are not of a very nierlioc7e class. Fortunately for himself and for his country, his opponents are - st di inferior, and I am firmly persuaded that 2,000 British would clear the comitry, and subdue Royalists and Patriots wilted. " 1 do most ronselentionsly believe that the Patriot Govern ment intends to ere- linnourably towards us, and that every thing will be eventually paid, but their means and resources have been grossly exaggerated and over-rated, whether Nil. folly or ignorantly I know notl hurthe tact is, that the exe. cutive hate comparatively nothing it their immediate com mand, and however holiest and honourable their intentions may be, it is quite clear that where funds do not exist, they cannot be had. Alany of the British officers in this country are highly dissatisfied, anti no wonder: they were assured that each, on arriviiig, should receive 200 dollars fur his pas. sage-money, but in no one instance has that assurance been fulfilled. Many of them, therefore, arc without a farthing, even to pay their washing, tor an pay has yet been issued.— There are rations of beef, bet nothing except beef, beef, beef; and every animal eats beef in this country, even the little bit cis. The deceit practised on our country...len, whether wilful or otherwise, cannot but injure the cause of American emancipation in a must material degree, and Bolivar feels it exceedingly. He bay repeatedly expressed himself to me in the strongest terms on the subject, and it was plite evideut he felt what he said. It would realty tiepear that no attention has been paid to the situation of affairs here ; perhaps fees on military commissions were exacted as well as on commer cial speculations ; on the latter affoject the government has received a broad hint. Since the commencement of the rainy season, fevers, diatribe/as, and other disordeis, have become frequent, aial in several iustances fatal. One of the English surgeons was called in to seven fresh cases this morn ing. When Bolivar arrived lucre, his wardrobe was reduced to a most miserable mate. Not a stitch but what was on Ilia back, having lost all his baggier when so disgracefully sur prised by Lopez. 'Lorry one lives hove In 4 miserable way— eternal carne, case--no vegetables, though in so rich a country. 'lhe leading people are ashamed to ask one to dine, for they have no fiti nature for the tattle, and nothiug to oiler to eat or drink, but carer and horribly bail spirits ; and therefore, al• though intimate anti on ekcellent terms with them all, all hospitalities are bounded to a segar and a glass of water. — 'f here is no ammement earthly, and, of course, no books, as few can read in this part of the world ; the heat or rain which now falls in inconceivable torrents, confines one almost en tirely to the house. Au English newspaper would positively be a luxury beyond idea. Many is the time mud oft it would he reach from the commencement, price rd., to the name of the printer." EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM TRINIDAD, FLAY 16. " By the best information .! have been able to procure since my arrival hem the Patriots are getting on in a very uncertain way, and•seem destitute of those funds and re. sources which are really requisite for carrying on the contest ; they have been partially successful, but at present Wald arms, men, anmineition, and money. Bolivar has bi:eu appoiatedto the civil radministration of affairs, and has been succeeded by Paez, a man of tried courage and some abilitio, but of no education. *They wish to hold what they have, but the native Spaniards are not to be depended en. The followers of the army are three times more numerous thou those at tually tight_ ing, a circumstance that may give you some idea of their patriotism, and plunder seems their chief object. Poor 1P Donald fell a sacrifice from foolishly exposing his baggage; although some people say he was killed by the Indians; many here know that smile straggling Pat lots took his life, tempted by his baggage. An officer is going to England to raise a regiment at 300 dollars each man, a measure that probably will not be permitted by the English Goverument. If the nations of Smith America are not 4bic to cope for their in dependence against the miserable Imre opposed to them, they are not deserving of the blessings -attending a free go vernment. The Patriot army is at present composed of blacks and people of eclintr, but it is reported that 2,500 whites ate on there way front New Urauada ; my opinion is that 2000 British troops would march from one end of the country to the other. There never was a cause n here so much depended on the natives, endsa little exertion was made by them; tittle e many men of 11:111.1kime among them, but none of them of abilities sufficient to govern ; they wish to make every dr pat tment English, and that in the end may injure the cause. WGregor is much wanted, and might bit of great service. The British officers engaged in their last two battles lost no thing of-theledirraracter its soldiers. I wish to join the patriot cause, but am told it is of no use going for the Ilain unless I take men !! How is en officer coining Boot Eutriand to pro cure 11101 ? The idea is ahsurd. It appears, therefore, that if the independenee of South America is nut °brained by themselves, they must eel nto t ttesr original subjection."

' N N • SEPT. 14 MEETING IN PALACE YARD. A meeting took place oil Monday in Palace-yard, pursuant to public notice, " To take• into consideration the propriety of waking a public ilea:lotion of their tights; to adopt the most effectual measures for redressing their wrongs; and to remonstrate with the Cro.% n to remove those grievances uMelt are now become insorpurtable." . _ Soon alter 12 o'clock, a cart arrived, hearing four inscrio. tions, exhibited in four different directions, t• itli the winds, " Conte to the Public Meeting in Palace-yardibis day at tw t it e o'cluek." 4b • n t half-past twelve Mr. Hunt, the• ChitiriiLits. arrived in a carriage, accompanied by his sun, blether, atiq Dr. Watson. They were received with partial cheers. Te e person: at this time assembled did not exceed three or furs hundred, but the crowd afterwards increased. Mr. Mint mounted the hustingsond after someconsultation withDr.Wat bull and others who were assembled, he addressed the Meeting_ %He observed, that their object on the pi esent ocrasion was not to petition Parliament. but to remonstrate it ith the prince Regent, and to call upon him to assist them in obtaining their right °leafing fur Members to reprt seot illeityn the Hou st ~f Commons. Although lie had nothing to do with calling fti s leet Mg, he by no means wished to shrink from any respensi • 'nifty which might attach to those who had called it, ivatnincl. as he was fully aware of every thing which was to be deft-. Petitions signed by a million and a half of the subjects ef this realm had been seneto the late House of Comm ons , b,„ ; their petitions had been treated with neglect. Iu this stave of things it was their determination not to petition the new !tense of• Commons, hut•to appeal boldly , manfully, and in a dignified tone, to the. Prince Regent himself; to restore :o them these rights they were entitled to enjoy berme they were called upon to tight the battles of tbeircountry,.t s ► pay the taste', or to support the Government ; and to restore to them the rigid of voting for those who were to impose their burdens mine them. Mr. Hunt coneiuded by calling upo n the Meeting to tominet themselves peaceably and with good order, and not to be fed away by the suggestions or those who might be inclined to encourage riot and confusion. A declaration and resolutions would be read to them, which they might eject or approve as they ilsonght proper. If there was any person disposed to offer objectionsdo the sentiments contented in that declaration and those resokutions,.he hoped he would be heard with patience. Their minds were upon to conviction, and they would not decide hastily or impru dently. Dr. Watson complained that some person who had pledged himself' to come and deliver his sentiments upon this occasion, had not been inauly enough to chow his face. He had nut himself been in the habit, until lately, of addressing a public assemblage ; but for more than thirty years lie had paid no little attention to the• promises of public mum, to the measlier a of sume of our greatest orators and statesmen, and lie heard promise after promise, that the day was not far off when those liberties, for which our foiefoniers fought and bled,und whirl, had been torn from ns, shoulit be restored. Ilutalas! fectims had been joined with the Despots of Enrage, tun tor the purpose, as they pretended, of giving happiness and liberty so •Europe, but to further enslave them. He wiebed the groat body of lloronglimotigees were present, that they ;night hear some important truths : and he, (Dr. IV.) v ould fearlessly •mount any place to deliver those truths to them. It was not Acme the loss of motley that had been sustained by die ope rations of die Burouglimungering faction, nor was it money. that would make reti ibetiou, but there Wile those who had lost wives—fathers—mothers—children, and alatont every one who liad lost every kindred tie, by the opt/mime' of Is apendthiift Miaistry (true, and.bravo 1) Every domestic 'comfort had been invaded; wises hod famished firm) want; children had di••d from disease ; and others had been visited by Amine; a son or brother hail been token from a death bed by the effects of the law; indeed there seemed to be a couspiracy against the }tepidness of Englishmen (applause.)
