On the same day another express arrived from Momper°, with a Spanish officer and several soldiers, who narrowly escaped being made prisoners. The whole coast is stated from here to the river Catatumbo to be in the hands of the independents, who are said to have 44 feluccas in that river. An embargo had been laid in the harbour of Laguin ; and two schooners were to be armed to be seat up the latter. The force in the town was about 500 men, but it was thought they could not make a long resistance. (EXTRACT OF ♦ LETTER DATED NEW ORLEANS, OCT. 201 the address.

A recent proof of their determination to avoid a coin promise, is their conduct since the death of her MA JESTY'S brother.

The meeting was thinly attended, there being at first but eleven Freeholders present. The Vice-Lieutenant and Con vener having bees called to the chair, took that oppor tunity of stating the reasons which be believed to have actuated the gentlemen, who signed the requisition, and himself In calling the meeting. The Eheriff-Clerk then commenced reading an ad dress, vibes hi was interrupted by Mr. ORANT of Rothitesou cluit the score of irregularity. He ob served, that. ejlitel' in his band was an address, no person bad moved or seconded it; upon which Mr. FRAM{ of Cilbockie said, it was an address, which hal would sow take the liberty of moving, stool it was seconded by Major Pustule of Newton. After a silence of some minutes, Mr. ORAN?, of lito tbiemnrchus rose, and said that he. bad expected to bear from some erson the reasons for moving the ad. dress. He tb fight it utterly absurd, that 33 Lien- 1 tlemen shoed k upon themselves to declare the opinions of thisetztensive county. It was not a county meeting ; the b?ritors were not called ; and the 33 (Unthaws prestat were not a tithe even of the parties who bad beenisammoned. The meeting might be assembled is aiffamily, on any occasion of domestic rejoicing ; in diets a meeting, he should think is ale. surd to make alspeech. He considered the address to imply the existioee of sedition and blasphemy in this county, which was contrary to fact. Mr. (grant defied any man to reed that part of the address, and to say that a person who did nut know the county, would not suppose that such practices did exist here. lie objected to it, because a stigma would thus be falsely attached to *loyal and religious community, in order indirectly to convey an approbation of the late mea sures of ministers. The present agitation in the country was ehiedy owing to the ill-advised measures against the Queen ; and that being notoriously the fact, it was the duty of every honest man to oppose the adoption of an address, which would be construed else where:into an approval of measures, of which no party voting it confessedly did approve. Ile would, there• fore, if the Gentlemen who had brought forward the address which had been read, did not accede to such alterations as would remove what was objectional , le, find it necessary to move, as an amendment, another address, which he then read, Mr. FRAS[II. younger, of Torbreck, seconded the address proposed ht Mr. Grant. Mr. ERASES of Relig must say, that t'iere were some acts of the present Administration which he thought wrong, and of which be could not approve. But although he disapproved of some of their mea sures, he concurred in the propriety of the address, and did not see the necessity of any alteration, since it was never contemplated, as he had already said, directly oy indirectly, to approve of their late pro ceedings, and this, be thought, should be fully and publicly understood. After some discussion, the Oeutleman who proposed the original Addresa, conceding some verbal alterations and the introduction of an entire clau'e froai the op posing address, to the following effect But we *Anon thattollelot oatioisonion 4. 416Atifra111o.60 moots your Ma t iesty, than in this j art of your Majesty's do minions there exists no spirit of disaffection or irre ligion, or of immorality, nor have any attempts been made, so far as we have been able to learn, either by the circulation of books and writings, or otherwise, to shake the loyalty or to corrupt the manners of the peo ple." The address thus altered and amended, was unanintorsly adopted as the sentiments of the meet ing, Mr. Grant declaring that be consented to the concluding paragraph, where the vigour and wisdom of tiovernment was applauded, on this distinct under standing, that the expressions had reference to the King and the constituted authorities in a general' sense, and not to his Majesty's present Ministers, who, lie denied, either collectively or individually, pos sessed either vigour or wisdom ; bat that, on the !contrary, they had displayed iu their proceedings imbecility and indecision, and the very reverse of Iwisdom.

The tragedy of Mirandala was matted at this theatre on - Tuesday night. It is, as even , body knows, for it has been in the mouth of every.body . who preterd ed even to literary tatoe for the last mouth, from the pen of that street and nervous bard who •coasentrites his stock of fame and glory under the quaint cogootien BARRY CORNWALL.. That signatare has accompanied several volumes of delightful poems into . the world. amongst which some drionatie scenes have excited the deepest interest, from their bold and impassioned lan guage, and for the evidence which they furnished of the author's Intense sympathy with the workings of the human heart, in the must powerful and affecting situa• tions. These had excited the expectations of the literati to such a pitch, that we believe no effort' in dramatic writing has ever been ushered into the world under thud. Mr circumstances of interest and anxiety. As a proof how far this sensation had extended itself among the Oahe, the house was filled and crowded in every part • ballorethe rising of the curtain. The author's muse is of too warns a nature to be gratified with the frigid dullness of our northern soots; therefore he has chosen . as vantage ground, the fairer soil of Italy, where the hotter clime begets the more fie?! passions, for the place and subject of his scene. The hnsiness of the plot we have already laid before our readers. The pritiolpal characters of the drama are cut as follows: Joliet. Date of hiirandola . , . . Mr. Macaaaar, • Geldo. his son . . . . . . . Mr. C. Yellow. •• Oherabli, a Monk . Mr EGERTON. laabrlly. . . • .• . Mee. Faxertt. Isidore . 7 - 7 --s . Miss Fool!. By a reference to the plot, it will at once be seen tLat, • in the materials for his play, the anther car not have the full credit of originality. These bear a considerable, similarity to the story of one of Lord Byron's poem', and a still stronger resemblance to the plot of the Doh Carius of SCHILLER. The superstructure, however, tee no fellowship, in this particular, with the foundation. It is a splendid monument that will do honour to th age which reared it. It has some trifling incongrui• ties which we shall notice hereafter ; but the object with %%bids the author set out, is accomplished :—that of bringing down once more the unmeaning pomp and hollow gaudiness with which late writers hare invested. .(we should say infested) the tragic drama; and sub stituting in their plai•e, the simple, hut all-berm tiful decorations,of true ratnre. The triumphant succes 4 of the play will give us opportunities of venturing npen its merits again, and of doing it that justice which ca. limits refuse iu a single article. The acting, which was in the highest degree excellent, nets: also br rioticed on a future occasion. Sl'Mt THEATI4r.---I%e again visited this charm in:: and well-conducted Theatre last evening, and were highly gratified at seeing a very crowded au dience. The house, we think, was as full as the first night, but infinitely more select, consequently we had. a better opportunity of hearine,, and appreciating the n1:- fit of the pieces: and we must do Mr. ntnniN the jus tice to:tektite:fledge, we never were more pleased and delighted.

This robbery took place in the Horseferry-road, Poplin, in the month of December. The prosecutor was as saulted by three men ; the night being very dark, the prisoner's associates escaped. The Judge, ("slier Baron RICHARDS was of opinion, that the capital part of the charge could not be main tained from the violence stated in the indictment not be ing fully established. The Jury being of that opinion, the prisoner was tried for the minor offence of stealing from the person, but not with violence. Several per sons gave the prisoner an excellent character.—Acgoitfed.
