There is arrived here a launch from 'Margarita in elcven days, which confirms the news of the capture a Barcelona the troops which suile&l thence under the orders of Gen. Crdaneta. The fortress of the Morro was taken by assault, on the 1 th of My, with its garrison ; and three Spanish ships, which came with the troops in aid of the place. were taken The capture of the Morro was effected by Colonel I.7rseer with 3 , 30 British and German troops, and with the loss of trily two officers and eleven soldiers Ca the the British and Margaritan troops dis embarked to the leeward of .Cumaua, which place they at this moment besiege. Commodore Perry. of the United States naval service, has pine as Commissioner from that Go vernment to Angostura. From the mouth of the Orinoco he sent back hither his sloop of war, the John Mums, and he ascends the river in a schoo ner belonging to the United States. It is certain that his commission is highly titvourable to the cause of Venezuela.. and that he afterwards goes to Buenos Ayres. TUE .NATIONAL ntGISTE.R. lONIA2V ISLANDS. A statue is to be erected at Corfu, in honour of his Excellency Sir Thomas Maitland. Monuments of a eirnilar kind are to be erected in honour of that General in the islands of Cephalonia, Zante, and Ithaca. They are all raised by subscription, and at the expence of the natives, as a demonstration of their gratitude for the advantages they expected to derive from the new constitution which his Excel lency was to give them. The subscription was thus managed :—About 10 months after the arrival of Sir Thomas Maitland in the Innian.lslands, and be fore the constitution was even known to exist, Sir Thomas Maitland, on his return from a visit he had paid in England, made a tour in the respective islands, with the view to select the ten individuals who were to form his privy-council. Sir Thomas Maitland was preceded by some emissaries, who, no doubt, without the knowledge or sanction of his Excellency, prevented to the principal inhabitants n project for erecting busts and statues in his honour, giving to understand, that signatures would bo con sidered as a proof of their attachment to Great Bri tain, and of their respect for the Lord High Com missioner, who, besides the power attached to his appointment, possessed the greatest pajama inf.:i t:nee is his own country. In const.qtwitce of these representations, numbers hastened to subscribe large sums, and thus secure the good-will of a person to whom the future destinies of their country were intrusted. It is a vcry singular coincidence, that when his Excellency had filled up the appointments to the lu crative posts in the lonian Status, and nominated the Knights of the Order of St. George and St. 'Alit:had, it was fiend that few, if any, among the Island( rs, but such as hail contributed towards the erection of his statues, busts, and triumphal aithes, had obiliiiied any of those advantages and distinc tions.. From amorg the various addresses wlikh were presented to Sir Thomas Maitland on this occasion, the following is selected as a /Specimen :— " fu 6ir LutTic, l ey Sir: bow:,, lmril inAlt Cum- 11146zioilel, lirlmlUvr of 4I:111.6, "The nndrta wd, pLia.t.atvd Nis II ersitlittents or grati tude mid Niucll th-y utt t• to yo u r hotcrilt•iicy, and desirous to ot IebrIMCIVCe of tinr hum, tiu :Auer,. in which your Excellency re attic to this rnuwry , to pro mute Ihr ftlitity of tha n e rising stal..P. 11:1110 ploplow , l Iu tiller math a 1,1,11.1104;W as IMICC t rturey • Intl it ell homage to your Lturtllestry, owl tot histui eoliths.' to posititity. . . . . . he undersigned, being cleirui d by their colleagues Mich tin honour of inalsoig knonu to your EarelkncV the washy, el' their hearts, venture to entreat that pros Le pleases. to accept this feeble tribute of their respect red %its it di vution. • N'itb the MOM profound IN Nil et, 4‘ Your most humble and obedient servints " Nov.

We last week gave an account of what passed at the Inquest, held at Oldham, on the body of John Lees, as far as to the end of Saturday. —The proceedings since Lave been totally unim portant, forasmuch: as the numerous witnesses ex um;ned, orty confirmed the thrice-told story of the wanton cruelties committed on the disgraceful day from which the Inquest had its origin. To this observation, however, was one exception in the evi. deuce of a Mr. Simmons, a Surgeon, who deposed that it was impossible that John Lees should have died of the wounds he received. On being cross examined, however, he confessed, that he had never seen the deceased either alive or dead. and modestly asserted his belief, that even under those circuits stances be was more competent to give a correct opinion than either of those Medical Gentlemen who had attended him during his illness and opened the body after Lees's death !! ! Mr. Ashworth, the Barrister, has been present, and amply proved that in addition to a tremendous stock of gross impudence and total absence of •' those cour tesies which used to exist among gentlemen,' he is possessed of that daring spirit which will prompt hint to assert that as law which every body knows never was law ; and as the Coroner, either from a wi , h to be well with the delinquents, or from a ti midity of his own knowledge, assents to his dictum in every thing ; we anticipate that this !ugliest will not be productive of the good we had hoped—we are happy, however, to remember that this is not the deraier resort for Justice, but that if the differ ent Indictments fiir wilful mur,ler should be evaded, there is yet abundant matter to ground indictments under Lord Ellenborough's Act for cutting and maiming, a conviction under which (unit.= an event were to take place which we dare not contemplate , oc•r. i. the consequence of) would produce a tapit u l pu nishment. The Coroner has had the body taken up, in order that he might have the view of it required by law, us suggested by Mr. Harmer on a tionier day. A discussion between the Coroner and Mr. Harmer, respecting the appointment of the latter, made such an impression in Court, that, in less than an hour and a hilt' afterwards, molly 200 inlikbitants of Oldham signed a requisition to Mr. Harmer, to at tend the jolliest on their behalf: it would have been signed by many hundreds, but time would not allow. Mr. Harmer also produced a full authority from the parents of the deceased on Thurtlay morning, a copy of which will 1):1 found in another part of our Paper. We have received the Paris papers of WO:lml a y last. On Friday the King, beihre Mass, gave pri. vote audience to the Spanish Ambassador, and after. wards took an airing in his carriage, and visited the Duchess of Berry. The French Government, it is said, is occupied with the lieferni of the Code of Criminal Instruction, so far as concerns the security of general liberty. Accounts front Madrid, of the .21lit ult. state, that the sentences relative to the conspiracy of the Ex-General Porkier, approved by his Majesty, include ev individuals. Several Officers of rank arc sentenced, par co* ntanzace, to be shot in the back, and their property confiscated ; but they may be heard in their defence, if they pre sent themselves. They will not avail themselves of this boon, for, as their doom is fiXed, it wculd be folly, as exposing themselves to the malice of their enemies. 'twenty other officers arc sentenced to be imprisoned, some for two, and others for ten years. The number acquitted amounts to 148, nearly a l .l officers, among whom are three Colonels and three Lieutenant Colonels. The numbers who di. 11 in the Isle of Leon, on the Bth ult. were 40, on the 9th 32, on the 10th 40, and on the 11 th 40. The number of the sick is increased by distress. Nothing is decided with reTect to the etTedition. It must no doubt be postponed. On the lath of last month thirty-one persons died of the fever at Cadiz. Private intelligence mentions, that a mamr is negociating regarding the Independent Govern ment of South America, Ferdinand declaring that the Government of the United States must agree not to ree.ognize any of the Insurgent Govern ments,befuce he will ratify the cession of the Floridas. This decision, it is said, was forwarded to Washing ton by Mr. Forsayth, in the dispatches by the Hornet sloop of war. It is probable the American Govern, ment will, in the end, take the Floridas, anti acknowledge the independence of the Spanish Colo nies.—The French Five per Cents on Saturday were 69f 95e. Wednesday a Mail arrived from liamburgh, with Papers to the 29th tilt. They bring intelligence of the Ra►ilication of the Convention between Sweden and Denmark by the Plenipotentiaries of the re spective Courts. Accounts from Stockholm men tion, that his Swedish Majesty and his son Prince Oscar have, during their tour through Sweden, been every where received with enthusiasm. At Fallen they descended into the great mine, where the Royal flail, as it is called, tre hundred flitbouas under ground, was illuminated with 1000 wax tapers. High encomiums are passed on the affa bility anti deportment of the Emperor of Russia at Abu, on his return from Tomes. The Prince Re gent has had the military establishment in Han.•,•er diminished 16 battalions, which is a considerable saviug. Intelligence of importance has been received from Venezuela, and from au official Knave. The ac counts are coniirmed, which we had already heard, of the success which attend the enterprise from Margarctta, by the combined corps of British and Spaniards, under Generals Urdancta and Enggli►h. These commanders carried Barcelona by assault on the 13th of Jul',with the loss of no more than two
