The flag of truce returned on Friday last, and the most active preparations are making for the opening of the campaign, when I hope you will have the account of the entrance of floLtroot into the capital of his native country, and that the beautiful plains of Caraceas will once more be free. neural Mosti.i.o, I am confides', cannot prosecute the War alst► longer, and, if he does not get men and tarty, be must retreat or surrender.

Finn. PVIALIEN. To Don Pablo Mundt.). A Jamaica mail arrived this morning to the 7th of Anna. YKOX JAMAICA lOTAL OAZCTTI. By tie Ontario brig of eighteen glum, which arrived on Satorday, we have received the following intelligence from the parties on the opposite coast. The lsolepeadests under Mental° are in possession of the whole kingdom of Santa Fe, except she city of Car &yens. anti pan of the province of Santa Martha. Their forces ars computed to be about 2600 men, of which 400 are linglish. The city of Cartilages& has sathsient force to repel the independents; there are 1600 regulars, sad MAI artillery ; the militia and volunteer corps may consist of from 2000 men ; the works are in Rood order, and the governor has provision for *is months; and the governor has ordered such of the in habitants as could not provide themselves with provisions forlUened to quit the city. • have reached Chargres from Panama of the' death dilearral Here, as also t►e arrival there of the, r r - ,•- _ - THE sitATEsm A/kJ American frigate Macedonian trills 200,000 dollar. tine of Lord Cochrane's cruisers, coaled the Rostmira, witb. it it is said, about three milliuns of property on board, has bad a severe engagement with the Spanish frigate Pri marera, and succeeded in beating her off. The Captain of the Rosemira wu killed in the engagement. A report was in cirenlation last week, that the Em peror ALEXANDRA, whom we suppose we may call the President of the Holy Alliance, had abandoned his intention of interfering with the affairs of Spain t but, as this report was at variance with his Imperial M tJesrv's late official denunciation against that coun try, we did not think it necessary to give the rumour any particular attention. Frankfort Papers, however, which we received last night, and from which we make extracts, appear to give a considerable degree of authenticity to the re port in question, which we shall feel most happy to hear officially confirmed. These papers, it will be seen, state, that the Emperor of Russia has caused a new Note to be delivered to King FERDINAND, in which his Imperial MAJZATT declares, that " he it far " from intending to interfere in the internal affairs of " an independent power, which being a member oQI " the Sacred Alliance, has jest elalms to his lova " riable good will." The Ennio* adds, " that be " shall see, with satisfaction, the further develop. ment of the new order of things established in Spain; " and whatever can contribute to the happiness of the 't Spanish nation, will always excite in him the most lively interest." Assuming the statement in these papers to be authentic, we shall proceed to offer a very few sen tences in the shape of remark upon this sudden alteration of tone, which marks the language of the Russian Gam That the late Revolutions have, at once, sawed and terrified the contisental Sovereigns, there can be no doubt ; they have avowed as much. In these Revolations, Spain was the leader ; Spain it was that set the hated example ; and upon Spain,' therefore, in the ordinary course of their M a j esties! anger, should that anger have been visited. Aid, certainly, as far as paper denunciation could mow plish the desired object, it was most effectually accom plished. But it happened that Spain regarded these braggart threats no mere than she did the passing wind. It happened too, that the principles, to which no lan guage and no eloquence can do justice, spread them selves to Naples and Sicily, and ultimately to Por tugal ; that the English Ministers, fur avers manifold reasons (one of them, probably being, the having fall enough to do at Mee). di.l not dais to plunge England at present into a new war; it so happened, too, that the people of Italy in general e = to shew Croseeftwollowni ersgreMir and thee, blithers, does it come to pass, that his Imperial Autocratic Massage condescends to re-trace his steps ; and, after having threatened his direst vengeance upon the Spa nish people, be now, very gracefully, and in truly courteous and official language, tells them, " he has no intention to interfere in their internal affairs." Oraciens and Imperial condescensionindeed! The time may not be very, very far distant, when he will be compelled to ask others to kited. re in his own affairs. To talk at present of the probability of an early constitutional Revolution in Russia, would, to some, appear laughable enough ; but we can assure o ur readers that a work on p olitical economy has lately appeared from a Russian pen, so replete with information, liberality, and sensible enquiry, that we think it impossible many years can elapse be fore even Russia will emerge from her present degraded and pitiable state. She is surrounded by laudable example, she is approaching towards intelli gence ; and we will never be remoted from a maxim we have often advanced, awl shall advance as long as we can hold a pen—that freedom and intelligence must, from their nature, always be inseparable. A letter from Lisbon, dated Sept. 2, to a house in Paris, contains the following intelligalce:—" This morning the Spanish Constitution, followed by an order for convoking the Cortes, bas been posted up in all the streets of the city. The Patriarch hasput him self at the head of the Government, and ear revolution resembles a family (Ai. The public joy Is at its height, and is general, fur not a single Portuguese opposes the adoption of the Constitution. Even the English nsie l with our songs and dances, and congratulate uson the recovery of our independence. Lisbon is as tranquil no it has been for these six m onths p ast. The only con.l trait between that and the pr«sent time is, that thee we were very melancholy, whereas now we are re- 1 joking." It is confidently reported at Warsaw, that • mew I project is iu contemplation for the re-establishment of the kingdom of Poland, and that negociations, to this effect, have been commenced between the Courts of Russia, Austria, and Prussia. If such a project shoold 1 be accomplished, this State might again become an im portant weight in the balance of Europe, and the bul wark of the North. The Emperor Alexander has coaxed a new Note to be delivered to King Ferdinand, in which be declares that he is far from intending to interfere in the inter aid affairs of an independent power, which being a member of the Sacred Alliance, has just claims to his invariable good will. Thus we see this warp politi cian, after being evidently foiled in his attempt to ex cite a war epos the European powers, stepping for lwarol as the approver of that order of things in Spain, "AA, bat a few weeks ago. he denounced as ruinous -.se authority sal destructive to monarchical LI. COVRNT GARDEN THEATRE?. ---ease-- Last night, the tragedy of Virginias fres performed at this theatre. It is from the pen of Mr. Sheridan Knowles, and almost the only modern tragedy that has so long reigned a favorite. Of the performance of Viv. 'kiss, by macaw's', we can only say, that last night. lie surpassed in our opinion, all his former efforts. We do not know which to admire most, his just represen tation of the stern patriot, or his more delicate delinea tion of parental affection for his daughter Virginia. Miss FOOTZ looked and played this character to great advantage. CHARLES KesteLa did ample justice to /ci ties. And last, though not least, we come to Mr. TEARY , in the character of Lacks Deutatws ; and a more faith ful, correct, and classical representation of the caustic old Homan, we never recollect to have witnessed. After the Play, the Ballet, Joeonele, was again re peated. It met considerable opposition: but the great majority of the house was io its favour. We are happy to observe a considerable alteration both in the dresses, and the entire exhibition ; a sacri fice which was certainly due to public decency. This was all we required. It nay have been thought, that our opposition arose from some more unworthy motive, namely, their being foreigners. This is i an impression we should be sorry should exist for a moment. For although, we must always be anxious to give a pro ference to native talent, (Sod forbid, we ehoold ever suffer our minds to be so debased by national pre judices, as to regulate our opinions by such illiberal feelings. Mr. YAW played Some°, in the Sleep Walker, with 1 great ability. Some of his imitations were very good. 1 but particuiexly those of Keax. COWLS, Sher. 24.—This morning, in consequence of its having been understood that his :Majesty would attend divine service on shore, the parade was crowded with elegant company, anxious to testify their respect fur his person on his disembarkation. 'Tie gale, how ever, was so tremendous up to twelve o'clock, that his Majesty could not leave the Royal tleurge. Awnings were erected on deck, and the King attended divine service in the presence of the whole crew. His Majesty retnains at anchor the whole of this day.

Captain Charles Spencer, being safe and well, who it was falsely said had been killed in a duel in South Anse -1 rica, had four 6ne oxen slaughtered on the occasion, and distributed them, with a large quantity of bread, to the poor around their seat at Althorpe. By a letter from Quebec, dated August 16th, it ap pears that intelligence bad been received there of the progress of the expedition over-land, under the com mand of Lieutenant Franklin, through North Ame rica, to ascertain the existence of a North-west pas sage to the Pacific. They had proceeded at that pe riod as far as Fort Chippawein, in the Athabasca eonntry, all well, and were considered, calculating the time that elapsed since their departure from Fort York, in Hudson's Bay, to have made good progress. A letter from Carlsrhae, dated Sept. 14, says :-- " It is announced that Mr. Brougham, the brother of the Queen of England's Attorney-General, is on his way to Italy, fur the purpose of finding witnesses who eau give evidence in favour of her Majesty.

On Saturday night the dwelling-house of Mr. Cal laghan, of Amelia-place, Newington, was borglariously entered, and robbed of mosey to the amount of 401., a quantity of plate, and some wearing apparel. Tuesday night an alarming fire broke out at half past nine o'clock, on the premises of Messrs. Higgs • and Ranisford, bat-manufacturers, in Old Market street, which raged with considerable fury for a short time, on account of a want of water ; but by the jecii (ions exertions of the firemen, mid the assistance of active individuals, amongst whom were our worthy Chief Magistrate, W.

The robbery was not foand out till this morning, (Mr. Hague not residing on the premises) when, on opening the shop, it was dis covered that a considerable part of the most valuable a titles consisting of silks, sarunets, satins, lace, and a considerable quantity of other goods, with s.ase *ash, (in the whole amounting to between £3bo and .1400) had been carried off.—The robbers must have been a long time in the premises, as they had assorted the different articles, selected trimmings to match, enrolled the satin-;, and took away the most valuable.
