His troops are stated to be is I mats of insabordinatioa, and to be deserting daring the night. A report prevailed at Curacoa, on the aullosiity of private letters, that Gen. Bolivar had made overtire to General de la Torre, to enter into a sew armistise. This is said to have arisen from a rumour of the Corte* being Inclined to accom modate matters with the Columbian Oovernmest. The papers from °roach° contain several proclamation di sused by Bolivar; , sad the Jamaica papers, which are no later than the sth of Jane. again mention the cap tun of Lima, by Lord Cochran*. It is stated that the Governmeat of Columbia has guaranteed the payment of the debts of Sir George *Gregor. Th 3 will be gratifying to his creditors.

A Curacos paper, 14111 July says, a fleet of Spanish merchantmen, from Cadiz, consisting of a ship and nine brigs, under convoy of the Africa of 60 guns, and a frigate, passed the Island on Thursday. They are to touch at Carthage's& and the Havanna. from thence to proceed to Vera Cris. A new Vice Roy, appointed br Santa Fe, came oat with the fleet and was landed at PnetoCabelle. Admiral Brien, with a fleet of 3 brigs, 3 slimmers, and a sleep, was at rdaratailso undergoing repairs. FROM Tag NEW TORN PAPER OF THE lOTN OP ACGUST. The schooner Cecilia arrived at Philadelphia from CurAcoa, Las furnished us with accounts from that place, one week later than the Rebecca Ann. Accounts from Puerto Cabello state, that Lieut. Yturbide and the Commissioner% from Spain, Stanitorio and Barry, proceeded to St. Esteban, about • league distant, to meet the Commissioner of Bolivar, for the purpose of entering into conferences relative to thianiiistice, which had been proposed by the Independent Chief. Subsequent accounts, however, state, that they had but been able to. bring natters to a pacific issue, and consequently there wield be me interruption to the war, vhich it is understood will be ilgoronsly carried eti byintb parties. Tice brig. FAL arrived—at ,Cne- racoa on the 19th of July from Puerto Cabello. By this arrival Puerto Cabello is represented to be in the greatest confusion. The outer town bas been nearly destroyed, and the inhabitants ordered into the city, which has beeti entrenched, and it is thought will hula out long. Provisions are plentiful; captain Bianco, who commands a Oserilla patty of 500 cavalry, has en tered San Carlos, and having touted the few indepen dent troops who occupied the place, is said to have mas sacred every one of the inhabitants. (11ULLZTIN OP Tilt COLUMBIAN GOTIRNNINT.) The printing press bas not as yet arrived, which w•e daily expect, in order to convey to the public know ledge some account of the very interesting events oc curring in the capital of the Republic, by means of a re gular paper. The list of the subscriptions " to remunerate each of the military as suffered bodily injury by the popu lace on the 14th of August," and to aid ".the regi mental fund of else Ist Regiment of Life Guards, for the comfort of the privates and their families," has, this morning, been ushered into the world with no little artifice and imposition. " The amount of these subscriptions," says the Meriting Amt, a it will be seen by the list, is already considerable ; but the most gratifying feature is the mode in which they are be stowed. Had a few individuals subscribed large sums, the object of remuneration would have been equally answered, but not the still more im portant one of proving what really is the feeling of the oeentry,ou this occasion, towards the military.- 1 We dMuld thee have been told that brible had been given to the seldien by these who were interested in couvdng their geed will, whilst the rest of the public remained cold and indifferent. But now such an untruth, would not gain a moment's credit even with the very lowest of the mob. Varying in their amount from 101. 10s. to 2s. 6d., the contributions themselves plainly show that they do not proceed from a particular party or class, but from individuals of all parties and all classes, chiefly the middling and the lower, who are moved by one and the same feeling' In behalf of the injured Military. Let it therefore no loner be said that the object of the subeceipdoa l is napepalar.“ It is hardly possible to have con ceived tbst there had been any man existing in 'Leaden who mei have fabricated such a flimsy tissue of falsehood, and present it to the world with the bye that it could obtain a inimeat's credit. The oesitributione proceed from individuals chid* of the mid& and lower classes!!! they plainly show that these classes are moved by the same feeling in behalf of the itjusei iniNtaryr!!! and the truth of both these assertions is proved by the centribudens varying in their amount from Ale 10 shilling! to Is. 6d.1!! Without referring MOm experience of individuals as to the state of public opiaiss respecting ~ STA' the conduct of the iajared military. on the 14th ot August, without noticing the almost universal re probation in which the audacious attempt is held of raising this subseriptiste among interne* men of all.parties both above sad below the middle class, we ag:Tz.appeal to the list itself for evidence of the of the inferences that are tirade from it. The whsle amount of the subscriptions appears 'to be about .C 250 ; and the number of sub scribers a little more than • hundred. Of this number. near fifty are described as ladies or esquires, or persons of still higher degree; about two and twenty are anonymous (one of whom is styled with truly laughable inconsistency. " A friend to Liberty supported by-Law ;" and of the remainder, to whose subscriptions names without pretensions are annexed. several are contributors to the amount of many pounds each. The list, in fact, consists of two subscriptions of tea guineas each ; three af. ten poandi ; five of five guineas ; thirteen of five pounds; sixteen of two guineas; five of two pounds. forty one of a guinea ; twenty two of a pound; axe of tea shillings and sixpence ; one of seven shillings ; sad one of half-s-erown. From this analysis, which we have taloa the trouble to make. the public will see how far it is exactly true that " the contributions vary in lisle amount from' 21 1 ).1(11, to t 6d," and to what an actual extent the boasted and Inspnalag fist is an evidence of the popularity of the subscription A real apprehension that this abominable measure will turn out to be a mere abortion, has prompted its mischievous projectors to affect to be alarmed at the language that has been applied to its tendency. It has been justly told them that the attempt to encourage and reward animosity on the part of the military, is directly calculated to excite resent ment on the part of the people ; and hence they en• deavour to raise an outcry, as if it was intended to expose them to popular vengeance. Their alarm. however, is as affeeted as groundless. No attempt is meant to intimidate, nor is there any occasion. The project, though pregnant with evil, carries its antidote along with it. It is so manifestly mischievous, and so generally odious, that it cannot fail to be de feated by disgust and contempt. VIVO( A, Ara. U.—The King of England is to re side in the Palate of Prince Nicholas Esterhasy, in the Faubourg of )Heine-Hilfe, where great preparations are making fur his reception. His arrival at Hanover is fixed for the end of September. A Ministerial paper observes that the arrival of the Stammer packet of Baron Stormer. the Austrian Am bassador ; Chevalier de &inks, the Russian Ambassa dor; and Baron de Walter, the Prussian Ambassador (the two former accompanied by their ladles), has given rise to several rumours. It 'seamed that they left Lisbon in cosmogonies of the tumultuous dispmi; lion manifested by the Portuguese *nay ; according to another report, the three Ambassadors had sailed for this country in consequence of an insult having been offered to the Austria. Ambassador. Both these ac moots are, we believe. unfounded, for we learn, on inquiry, that St permits abets 'aithettolti *OM - who represented their several Courts in the Beadle. bat who were ordered to leave Rio Jaiteiro with the King, and came over with him in the Royal squadron to Por tugal. Three Ambassadors from Austria, Russia, and Prussia, who hare been at Lisbon for some time past, remained there when the packet came away. Accounts received from lima through Jamaica, of a more recent date than those through other channels, mention, that a flag of truce bad been sent by General Senn to the head quarters of General San Martin, for the purpose of entering into negociatlon with the Pa triots. This led to the appointment of fin Commis sioners. who were to treat further with the Independ ents. Report states, that great apprehensions were entrrtai lied of the desertion of the Spanish troops at Lima, and that General Sena was the more desirous on this account, if possible, to put a stop to hostilities. CAPE OF GOOD Hors.—llis Excellency the Go vernor, on the Ist of June. received a deputation from the beads of parties and others at Bathurst, when an Address was presented to express their gratitude for the liberal manner in whit's they were provided and sent to that colony, for the precautions which were previously taken, and for the ample supply of stores of all sorts which were furnished by the Government at home. to ensure their success and future stability on their several locations. Previous to the Governors de parture from Graham's Town, arrangements had been made for a New Settlement, on the Books of the river Deka, between the Great Fish and Keiskahatua river. The Settlers to be located oat this spot, consist of offi cers and men of the late Royal African Corps.

The Committee of Churchwardens and Parochial Deputieso whose early exertions have contributed to briig liriiiajesty amongst us, have had two or three meetings to make arrangements for attending his Ma jesty's embarkation; they meet spin this morning, at 9 o'clock. at the Royal Exchange. The inhabitants of Dublin will attend in vast numbers at Dualeary.

They met Messrs. Versehoyle aid Crofton, who fixed upon the space op posite the Stone,, reaching from the Lime-kiln to very near the spot where the King embarks. NATIONAL TESTIMONIAL. On Saturday a numerous and highly respectable Meeting of the Subscribers to the fund, to be raised for the purpose of erecting a National Testimonial to commemorate his Majesty's visit to this country, was held at the Royal Exchange. Mr. M•Donnell, one of the Secretaries, read the Resolution which had been adopted at the ptevious Meeting. Colonel Gaffe, M. P. wished that the people in every qaarter of the country shoald be allowed to join in this great national offering of gratitude and regard to the best of Sovereigns ; he entertained the highest respect ler Me Chinas of Dublin, but he hoped it would not b• auquiidered isoensistent with that respect, that he fell as earnest desire that the Counties should he allowed to assist in the nianagenteet of this matter. Col. Cuff. then awed a Resolution, to the effect. that two persons in each County in Ireland should be named for the purpose of collecting subscriptions, and forwarding them to the General Committee. Mr. Henry GRATTAN seconded this resolution; he said it would be impossible to carry the wishes of the le into effect as to the nature of the testimonial to ereneed. sr e pthes wens yet Naiads collecting sob- , periptiolis in county; It was not such a testimo- mal as Nelson's pillar the people of Ireland were anxious to raise to their King.—(Cries of No ! no !) Such al testimonial as that, or the Wellington testimonial, on the (present occasion , would be a disgrace to the country.— Hear, hear.) Lord Carberry said, that when be Lad submitted some resolutions to the consideration of the former Meeting. it was said that in point of form they could not be then passed until a resolution. which had been adopted by the Meeting, should be reconsidered or re scinded. His (Lord Carberry's) resolutions were to the effect of his honourable friend's, having, at the same time, a wider range. The former Meeting ad journed for the purpose of considering the propriety of rescinding that Resolution;—that was the question before the Chair; and until the Resolution was re minded, there was the same obstacle to the putting Colonel Cuffe's Resolution as there had been at the former Meeting, to his. It was then moved by Mr. 'AMASS. and seconded by Mr. &sees, that the Resolution adopted at the former Meeting, should he rescinded. This motion was tarried uesahnously. Colonel Cage's resolution was again read. but as it referred to a Committee which was not in existence, it could not be put. Lord Carberry's Resolutions were then separately put; they all passed unanimously. A Committee of six, consisting of IXord Carberry, Mr. Guinness, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Lek* White. Mr. Singer, and Mr. Linden Bolton. were then named, for the pur pose of selecting such names from the list of subscribers as would be most efficient, in Dublin, in their co-opera tion with the gentlemen of the different counties and cities in Ireland, in collecting subscriptions, it being distinctly understood that the duty of this Committee was to be solely confined to raising subscriptions. The above gentlemen t 'red for a short time, and returned with the hick were then approved of4:h e Ifeeting. were then voted to the Lord Mayor, after which the ilitaing adjoursed. • The subscripdon foe " the National Testimonial" in Dublin, amounted on the Ist of September to £S, 184 is.

The sword went right throught his heart, after which be never uttered a word. A watchman, who was placed as a guard over bits bad been speaking to him one minute before the melan choly occurrence took place ; he was to all appearance - bb Man, and possessed rather:.a...ped ad dress. It is supposed that the effect prodacoll on hint by the appearance of the Bow-street officers, Vickery aid Bishop, who recognised him as an old offender its London, and the dread of certain punishment, was the chief cause of the shocking act which he committed. Wednesday morning a Coroner's inquest was held on the body, before Alderman, Jones and . a respectable Jury, who pronounced a verdict. " That the deceased earns by his death by a wound indicted by a sword on himself in a fit of insanity." A quantity of money having been found on the person of Jane Jones, wife of the deceased, she was detained from day to day for examination until Wednesday, when she underwent a final examination, and the unhappy wo man was committed to Newgate. A hackney coach sots sent for to take her to prison, and as she was about to go into it she was accidentally Interrupted by a man bearing her husband's coffin into the watch house, where the body lay. A more distressing scene can not be imagined than ensued. The *retched woman screamed loudly and fainted ; when she had tecosered the cause of her horror was removed. A third person of the same party, a female, who had been also radioed on suspicioa, was discharged on Wednesday morniag for want of proof.
