MAY 3. Letters received in town from the West :ladies so late as the beginning of last month. communicate the intelligence that General MiGregor having been joined at Aux Cayes, by the Hero and Monarch transports, with troops from England, he had imme diately set sail for the Spani.4h Main, and hal on the 26th February landed at Santa Martha, without any opposition, which was not expected, as we were informed by previous accounts, that all the regular tram?. Led withdrawn from New Granada, by General r Morino. The affairs of the Patriots go on Prosperously._ _ _ The valuable fleet of merchantmen from the Ila vannah. consisting of seven vessels, under convoy of the Sabina frigate, arrived safely at Cadiz on the 9th inst ; the nmonnt of specie on board is esti mated at two millions and a half of dollars. ITALIAN 13.INDITTI.-It may not be amiss to in form our countrymen of the danger to which those expose themselves who visit Rome. A letter re ceived in town from a respectable gentleman. of Cornwall, now in that city, states,. that as he was travelling, about the end of last month, with his wife and servant, in Italy, on his wuy to the capital, he was attacked by a ferocious band of robbers, who took him and his lady prisoners. The loader of the banditti desired the gentleman to be detained as a hostage, and told his wife and servant that they might proceed on their journey to Rome, after plundering tl , e party of all they had. The lady declined, and resolutely declared that she wo•Ild not quit her host band, and it was at length agreed that the servant should be left as hostage fur a certain sum. The gentleman with his wile having reached Rome, he was making arrangements to fulfil the agreement and release his servant, when the Government having heard of the circumstance, ordered a party of Roman soldiers to proceed to the forest, where the robbers were The soldiers succeeded in releasing the servant, but were at length obliged to retreat. The robbers, mortified at the rescue of their hos tage, have sworn vengeance against the gentleman, and have resolved that nothing will gratify them bu, his death, and consequently he cannot Icily:. Rome, fearful of being assassinated by this lawless band. By a Cadiz: paper of a recent date, it appears that the plague on the coast of Africa was still continu ing its ntviges towards the end of March, although in Tangiers and its neighbourhood there had been a great diminution of its violence. But in Rebel 10 were dying every clay, and in Lambe upwards of 15. In Tetuan there had died between the 17th and 21st of March 357 ; in Fez, the daily amount of deaths exceeded 150, and in Mequines they amounted to between SO and 50. When Buonaparte, then first consul for life, wished to tak. the the title of Emperor, his brother Lucien opposed himself to the project wit:► all his power; and finding his efforts unavailing, Your ambition knows no bounds,' said he; 'you are mas ter of France, you wish to be master of all Europe. Do you know what the result will he ? You will be smashed to pieces like this watch'—flinging his watch violently upon the floor. By the receipt of accounts from Halifax and New Brunswick, of the end of last month, we learn that several vessels belonging to different ports of Nova Scotia, had been seized in the ha bours of the United States, and the exc• . ►se stated for this pro ceeding is, that there is no clause in the Commercial Treaty which provides for colonial vessels touching at American ports even in distress. A letter from St. John's New Brunswick, mentions the arrival of Captain Hanford, of the Three Sisters, who stated, that having occasion to put into Vineyard Sound, being short of provisions and water, he was not only refused the supplies he stood in need of, but narrowly escaped being seized. In other places British vessels were without ceremony seised and condemned: among others, the schooner James, of Halifax, shared this fate. The Duke of Bedford took the air in lair carriage on Sutnrday, being the first time he has ventured out since his accident. Thursday a numerous Meeting of Noblemen and Gentry was held at the British Coffee-house, Cock spur -street. the Duke of Athol in the Chair, for the purpose of raising the sithseriptions towards a Na tional Monument, which is intended to be erected at Edinburgh, in order to commemorate the Victories and Martial Achievements of the Scottish Troops during the late war in Europe, as well as the recent glorious services of our army in India. The precise nature of the monument will not yet be fixed, until the extent of the subscriptions are known ; we un derstand that they already exceed 11,0001. Amongst the persons present at the Meeting, we noticed the Earl of Roseberry, the Earl of Sultoun, Earl Nor theston, hit. W. Sinclair, the Hon. W. Duntlas, Archibald Campbell, Earl Breadalbane, &c. 8:e. THE NATIONAL REGISTER. SPOUTING INTE LLIG EN CE. NEWMAIMET FIRST SPRING MEETING, 1819. MorinaY, Aran. 26. Mr. fox's Merlin, Elit.

John Grudge. a man of very respectable appearance. was brought before the Sitting klagisuate. charged wtth robbing his master, Admiral Dos lea. of Cavendish-nears. of Bank-notes to the amount of $Ol. The fullowing are tae circumstances of the rob bey, as stated by the Admiral. and corroborated by Sturthers, the pat:ole, who appi eliended the prisoner. Grudge had been a long time in the service of the Admiral, and bore an excellent charaeter. One evening, about a month itco, the Admiral canto home, and in changing his dress, he left his poet et-book, containing the cum mentioned. in his pantaloons. Before lie went oat he aimed his pocketbook, and desired the y 'ironer. who was his valet, to 64: ach his pantaMons fur it, but the latter pretended he could not Bnd it. and the Admiral went out, conceivir.g . he had left it at the banking-house of Messrs. Coutts and Co. in the Strand, but on enquiry found he had not. Having the numbers, he traced one of them (for MO a few day s ago in the posse.,sion of the prisoner, who had endorsed it with his own name. In consequence of this discovery, the pat:ole, was employed to apprehend ete prisoner, and in searching his boxes and closet , he found tho Admiral's pocket• book, containing fidl. in bank notes, the whole of which were identified by the pto:,ecutor, as those which he bad received from MOWS. Courts. - . . The prisoner denied the chair of robbery, and said he found' the packet-book in the area of his master's house. lie wits fully committed for trial. In consequence of a representation made to the Lords of the Treasury, by the committee for ma naging the affairs of Lloyd's, on the subject of the inconvenience arising from the delay in re-shipping goods saved from wrecks, their Lordships have been pleased to suthorize the Commissioners of the Cu- toms to vest a discretionary power in their tacers at the outputs, to allow goods saved feola vescia' wrecked on their outward voyages to be sent back to the shipping port, in order that the delay occa sioned by a previous application to the Commission ers f o r that purpose may be avoided ; anl to instruct their officers, when goods saved from wrecks are from foreign parts, to use every care and expedition for the preservation of such goods, and the speedy clearance of the same for their destined port. 141 ULD BAILEY SISSSIONS.

It is rcarcrked, by the Italian Journals, that the Emperorof Austria, during his stay in Florence, oc cupied the chamber in which he was born, .51 years ago, Feb. 12, 1768. What changes in the space of half a century! The. Emperor, previous to his re turn to Vienna, intends to travel through a part of Switterland, and to.visit Inspruck and Munich. The departure of the Recta and Griper fig Da vis's Straits front Deptford has not yet taken place. It is said to have been delayed from the latter vessel requiring some alterations, having been found so crank as to cause apprehensions to be entertained fur the safetyof the officers and crew.

Benjamin Starbuck, one of the firm of Phia lips and Co Bankers, at Haverfordwest, This gen tleman had been overlooking the Dockyard, Pem broke, and was about to return home, when, in the net of 'mounting his horse, the animal by wino cause took fright, and starting, threw Mr. S. back wards; in his fall it is supposed his head must have come in contact with a stone, as the contusion was so great as to render him totally speechless and insensible.
