The Leeward Island packet brings advices from Trinidad to the 26th March, and from Angostura to the Bth. It would appear that Bolivar's plan of attacking Morillo's lines with the army assembled on the Apure, had been altogether abandoned for the present. He had left San Fernando on the 20th January, with 1500 men, as it is supposed with a view to return to New Grenada, either to make head against La Torre, who was in Cucuta, or reinforce Santa Ander, who was threatened with a force assembled in Papayan, under Caldasa, who, it is said, was advancing on Santa Fe. Bolivar had also a force in Pamplona, but it was evident that he had enough on his hands, and that all his schemes of freeing the coast of Venezuela must be sacrificed to other attentions. Mercantile letters from La Guira, of the 20th March, state, that confidence wa• so great there, that immense orders for good were forwarding to Europe and St. Thomas; as it was very clear, that although Bolivar had ample range in the woods and wilds, they apprehended no danger from him where the population was con centrated.—These letters state that Santa was re taken in January, but it is mentioned in a vague manner. The accounts of the Revolution in Spain had been conveyed to Trinidad, by a vessel which left Gibral. tar on sth February, having on board Quiroga's Proclamations, &c. Soon afterwards the London Papers to the 14th February arrived there. This event had excited the most lively interest, and the result was looked for with great anxiety. The Paris papers of Tuesday la►t arrived on Fri day. The Constitutionnel announces that the Queen of England has arrived at Macon, the chief town of the Department of the Soane and Loire. In con sequence of all the post-horses having been engaged for the Duke of Angouleme on his tour, her Ma jesty was detained twenty-four hours, but she resumed her route on Thursday, the 4th instant, and was expected to arrive in Paris on Wednesday last, on her way to Brussels. Gravier, who was arrested while at tempting to set fire to the fusee of a machine, charged with combustibles, under the window of the Duchess of Berri, who is pregnant, has acknow ledged he exploded the first petard. The Minis terial papers insinuate that some distinguished Libe rals suggested and encouraged the plot, but there appears no foundation for the rumour.— Three more of his accomplices have been arrested Gravier, after having been interrogated, was com mitted on Sunday night to the Conciergerie. The Court of Assize of Paris has condemned Charles Norman to death fur the murder of M. Scion, his master. The Duke of Angouleme, now milling a tour in the sout-east of France, was expected at Grenoble on die Bth instant, from whence he was to return to Lyons on the 11th, and thence proceed to Bourg uud Besancon for Strasburg. The debate on the Customs was resumed in the Chamber of Deputies un Monday, and adjourned to the next day. The five per cent. consols are 73 fr. 65 c.—B..nk Ewa 1,5021 fr. His Majesty on Friday had his first grand public tlinner party itiee his accession to the throne.— Carlton HOWC was splendidly lighted and attended ; and anion,. st the company, we learn with pleasure was the l)nke id Sussex. This Royal Duke it is I.nown, (.ad I,ot till lately Leen of the Ca Iton Mouse parties ; but reconciliation has taken place, - and that in constquenee of the liberal overtures of his Majesty, durivg 1•1 s late indisposition. THE NATIONAL REGISTER. Advice' have been received tr m the Isle oaf France, of the , ;th of February. Their contents are satisfactory, inasmuch as they state that the fever, which had committed such dr, adful ravages in that colony, had entirely disappeared; nut only on the coast, but also in the interior. The accounts vary as to the number of persons who have been carried off by the malady, but it seems certain that between 5 and 6000 persons have suffixed, a am siderable portion of whom consisted of Europeans. The fever had been introduced into the colony by a merchantman, from the island of Ceylon, and was of so virulent a character that the individuui died two days after being attacked by it. A letter from New York of the 14th ult. says— " The Stnate have passed, by an unanimous vote, the Bill to prohibit all intercourse with all British ports in Canada, Nova Scotia, and the West Indies; the Bill must pass the House of Representatives to become a law." TIM CORONATION..-•TIIC Lord Chamberlain hav ing received an order from the Privy Council for the solemn proclamation of the intended ceremonial of his Majesty's Coronation; the different Officers of the Herald's College, and the Lord Chamber lain's department, assembled ut St. James's Palace, at ten o'clock yesterday morning, in their official cos tume. From thence they set out in procession to Westminster Hall, and there proclamation was first made, and afterwards it was proclaimed through the metropolis, with the same ceremonies as those observed when his Majesty was proclaimed King. We understand u Committee has been appointed at Westminster Abbey, for the purpose of arranging the business relative to the intended coronation, and installation of the Order of the Bath. Among the latest pensions granted.by the Crown, and payable out of the 'l4 per cent, duties, are the thllowing :—Lord Keith, Sir John Leach, and Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, in trust for Sophia, :Mary, Elizabeth, Augusta, and Amelia Fitzclarcnce, per annum. The warrant is dated Sept. 9, 1818.

His Maje.sly's Levee.—At the Levee held by his Majesty on Wednesday, there was the extraordinary number of 1 791 persons present, being upwards of 300 more than has beet' known on any similar oc casion within the memory of man. Mr. Robert Riker, Chief Magistrate of the Po lice, received the honour of Knighthood on Wed nesday lust, at the Levee. One of the yeomen-porters to his Majesty, after officiating in that capacity at the Palace gate during the Levee on Wednesday, returned to his own house, where be had scarcely arrived when he seated himself in a chair, and expired without ut tering a word. He had cxnibited no previous symp toms of indisposition, and was considered a man of a robust constitution. Mr. Wedgebury, one of his Majesty's Pages, and formerly Page to the Princess Charlotte of Wales, died on Wednesday evening, at his residence in Chelsea. The Caledonian canal now carrying on fin avoiding the tedious and dangerous navigation round inc northern and westarn coasts of Scotland is truly gigantic : when completed, frigates of 2:2 guns will be able to navioate it ; the depth is to be 20 feet, the width at the bottom 50, and at the surface of the water 110 feet, and the sluices from 162 to I n feet in length. The Annual Merino Meeting for the exhibition of Anglo Merino Sheep, Fleeces, Cloth, Yarn, &c took place on Wednesday at Satiler's Repository, Goswell Street. The Stock was of excellent quality —the fleeces of the finest texture—and the cloth and yarn beautiful ; the whole of British produce. There were several useful implements exhibited, and all of hand or manual power, a circumstance we rejoice to see, as the rage for machinery has of late caused a great increase to pauperism and oppres sive Poor Rates. The yard was well nut nded ; we noticed several Noblemen. Members of Parliament, and many practical breeders and tamers. Lord Castlereagh sent three Ewe Tegs for one of the premiums. We understood that Mr. Fate's (the Member for Osliiiiisliire) stock, was notch admired, as also Nor. my's, and Mr. Cawston's. At a late hour lust night an alarming tire broke out on Lambert Hill, ham es Street, but by a good supply of %%titer, and the alacrity of the firemen o f the dillZ•rent establishments, it was subdued without much damage being done. PALI C. BOW-STREET.
