Extract of a Letter from General Morales.-- " Wishing to free the province of Coro from the yoke of Colombia, and knowing'that the Cura Forrelles was at the bead of 1000 infantry and a few cavalry, I marched from Maracaibo on the 25th November, with 800 infantry and a detach ment of cavalry, and Coro surrendered without firing a shot."—General MORALES writes that he was ou his return to Maracaibo, having left a suf ficient force to maintain tranquility in the pro vince of Coro. FROM LIMA.—We have perused a letter from Buenos Ayres of the 14th November, which no tices the receipt of intelligence from Lima to the 17th September, and confirms that General SAN MARTIN had retired from the army. Extract of a Letter from St. Thomas, Dec. 30. —" St. Croix is in great distress for provisions ; the Governor has opened the ports of the Island for the importation of corn." FROM Cur.AcjoA, JAN.

[FRPSI A CORRESPONDENT.] STOCK EXCHANG E, Haffpast u'Clock— The Order in. Council, in last Saturday night's Gazette, revoking the order. which prohibited the transportation of arms and ammunition into ,Spain, has created a great sensation in • the city this morning, and the public now begin to think that war with Spain and -France will certainly take place, in consequence of which, and the early departure of the Duki• d'ANnour,kmc, Consols opened at 73. a, and went up to at which price they remain up to this hour. FOREIGN MAniarr.—ln this Market there was a great deal of business doing. Spanish Bonds are 3 , 24, and most parties are selling. The French Funds are 70f. 30c. Spanish 37. It is rumoured that Russia has been tampering with the United States, as well as with France, whose Government have sheer►► so much finesse during •the last year.-,-It is said that a most in►_ want ootninunicatiOu has been made to Ills MAJESTY'S Ministers on this subject, by an in dividual who has recently arrived from the North of Europe, and who has, in consequence, had several interviews with the British Government. We merely mention this. report without vouching for its authenticity. CAPTAIN PARRY.—We can state from autho rity, that a paragaph which appeared in a Weekly Paper, on Saturday last, and which has been copied into the Journals of this day, stating that an account had been received at the Admiralty of the Discovery. Ships under the command of Capt. PARRY, is, totally unfounded ; and though senseless and absurd in the extreme, is calcu lated to play on the feelings of the relatives of those employed on the Epedition. Not only have no accounts been hitherto received at the Admi ralty, but we understand that no expectations are entertained of hearing from Captain PARRY till next autumn, when, if unsuccessful, he may be looked for at home, or if successful, may be heard of from the Pacific. On Saturday, about a quarter before one o'clock, his MAJESTY left London for Brighton. On Saturday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Conn ' cil was held at the Foreign.Oilic e , which s a t till near half-past five o'clock. The Attorney- General for Ireland was in attendance. :Yesterday .morning dispatches were received at. the Foreign-Oflice, %filch were forwarded to 04 King at Brighton. ,Saturday, about half past twelve, Mr. JACK.. SOY arrived in a chaise and four at the Foreign i.: Offic e from Madrid. He performed the journey in, between nine and ten days. • Ile left England fll., for Madrid about a month or five weeks since, when it was said he w upory special misson.

A rumour has reached us, which is of so in'. portant a nature that we deem it our duty to stop the press for the purpose of cornmunicating it to our Readers. We hear that arrangements have been made for the departure of the ROYAL FAMILY from Madrid to Curunna ; an event wt►ich it is supposed in Spain must involve this Coun- try in war, as it i 3 the general belief that the French will be able to overrun the country, and dictate a Constitution to the Spaniards. Cadiz, it .is said, was first suggested as the place of retreat for the ROYAL FAMILY, but was deem- eta unsafe from the information which had been received of a French fleet having been dispatched against IL—We have reason. to believe that these rumours may be relied on as most authentic. THE TII EAT It ES. KING'S THEATRE.—A brilliant and crowded audience attended La Donna del Lugo, on Satur day last, and the opera and ballets went off with great applause. Cuntomt was indisposed, and made an apology for the omission of some of his songs, which of course was well received. The display of rank, fashion, and beauty, was highly gratifying. DRU Y•LANEe.—Mr. MELkOSE, who lately appeared at this Theatre, in the part of Young Meadows, assumed that of Francis Osbadision, in tile Opera of Rob Roy Macgregor, on Satur. day last, at this Theatre, and, encouraged by his favourable reception in the , former character, exerted his talents -with more effect, and proved himselt,'hoth in acting and singing, to be a very respectable 'addition to the company.. Miss STEPHENS and Miss Cusivr ably supported the vocal department, and COOPER, in Campbell, TERI& Y, in Dugald, and lats . rox in Baillie Nicol Jarvie, gave full effect to the rest of the drama. COVENT GAItOEN.—A rich musical and thea trical treat was afforded to a very numerousau dience at this Theatre on Saturday, in the'rOre sentation of The Marriage of Figaro. Miss Miss PATON performed the part of the Counters admirably, and 'gave the airs with extraordinary skill and expression. she, was ably seconded' by Miss TREE in Susanna. The due ts between these accomplished sin ger s were marked by an amicable rivalry, highly creditable• to •th e talents of both, and truly gratifying to the audience. JONES, in Ow Count, PEARMAN,,in Figaro, and FAwcETT in the DrUnken Gardene7 , heightened the general treat in no small degree. The new. Farce of The Duel increases in popu larity, and excited much well-merited applause. MESS TR.6:. TO TUE EDITOR OF• TUE SUN. SIR,-- have with the deepest regret seen my name within these few weeks inserted iii some of the leading newspapers, in a manner which has given me much concern ; and although t ant confident it has only arisen from a want of that explanation which it was in my power to have given, yet I have studiously avoided doing so, from a hope that each re mark would be the last, and from a consciousness that public characters, especially females, should never . make themselves conspicuous in any other situation than that allotted to them by their profession. But as I unfortunately find myself mistaken, I beg, with all the duty an d respect w hi c h I feel is due from me to the Public, to reply to a Paragraph inserted 'in a paper of Friday last ; and to another (more kind than ever my humble talent can hope to merit.), in the John Bull of this day, relative to my not having performed on Wednesday at the Oratorio, on Recount of illness, though I was well ehough to act on Thurs. day in Maid Marian. Thus it is—l have been very unwell during nearly the' whole' of last week ; but seeing my name advertised for every night in the week, both in the playa and Oratorios, I was most desirous to my part to the best of my power, and, though far from being well , acte.: on Tuesday, and .on Wednesday attended the rehearsal of the •Oratorio, when I was so incapable of proceeding, that I was forced to leave the theatre. Still, however, I hoped to be able to perform according to the advertisements of • the day, but at four o'clock was compelled to relinquish the idea of it, and wrote to Mr. Bochsa to that effect. The next day (Thursday) I was better, and as my name was still advertised for performing on that day, and knowing the consequence of changing the performances at so short a notice, I went to the 'theatre, anxious to go through the evening's business, but found myself too ill to sing the songs in the 'pl a y ; i n consequences of which an apology was made for me ; and I lament exceedingly that I could only, as it were, walk through the part.—But from the rest on Friday (my part in the Oratorio being. omitted), I was sufficiently re covered to be able to act on Saturday ; and I feel grateful for all the kindness shown to me by that, Public, who, in so many instances, have conferred favours never to be forgotten by so huMble an individual' as, their most devoted servant, ANN MARIA TREE. 3 > Torrington-square, Bloomsbury, • February 23, 1823. CALAIS, Saturday Ilforning, Feb. 22.—There has not been known, for a considerabl , length of time, so many couriers to have passed through this place for Various parts of the Conti nent, as within the last three days. Yesterday two King.'s Messengers arrrived, one for Paris and the otiar with dis patches , for Madritl i with directions to travel with all possible dispatch. Yesterday evening' also arrived Mr. Jackson, an extraordinary Messenger attached to the Fo reign Office, in five days from Madiid, and had charge of dispatches of the utmost importance. An avant courier arrived with orders for the equipment of a steam vessel for his conveyance, but the tide would not permit . of its going out of harbour, and a small sailing vessel was immediately hired exclusively for him. The ship-owners of this place complain bitterly of the present state of things, as from the high premium of insurance upon French vessels, the merchants have now their goods brought hither in British vessels only, whilst the French vessels are lying high anti dry in the !tabour. Our departures for the opposite coast have nut exceeded our arrivals, but on the contrary the majority appears in favour of the latter, ',Ord Ormond passed through here yesterday, as also a Spanish officer of considerable rank, who is travelling incognito,. and appeared anxious to reach the frontiers with all possible dis patch. His carriage was drawn by six horses. The Right HOD. FREDERICK JOHN ROBINSON, the new Chancellor. of. the Exchequer, was the second son of the late (and brother, of the pre sent) Lord Grantham, by Mary Jemima, daugh ter of the Earl of Rardwicke and the Marchioness de Grey.

ROYAL 'NAV &c: PO ItTsMOUTII, FEB. 2`2.—01t Thursday arrived his Majesty's ship :Cartoay, Captain Baste Ii ALE, from the. South American station, in 49 days front:Bahia, at which place the Portuguese flag was still flying on the 24 of January ; all the rest 'of .the.cettntry e however, it is said without exception, had declared itself in favour of the Emperor of Brazil. The town of Bahia 193.3 closely hemmed in by the Brazilian force, under the command of a Frenchman of the name of Labatue, and the usual iatercourse with the interior so effect. ually cut off, that the city was reduced to the greatest peivations for want of fresh provisions, vegetables, and fruit, of all which articles the supplies used to be most &blinders. All classes of persons had consequently been obliged ter many months past to live upon salt meat and Salt fish, brought from the United States. This circumstance, however annoying to persons ac. .enstoined to the most sumptuous fare, was amongst the least of the evils of the times. All , trade was at a, stand—the Cus tom-house doors were locked—no home produce could reach the port, and, consequently, no foreign goods could enter, as the only means of purchase were stopped ; credit also *as useless, since all communication with the market was cut off'. The main spring of prosperity being taken sway, all the wheels of industry had stopped of course, and people of every party seemed anxious for so unprofitable a state of things to ter minate. The English merchants had removed th e gre et er part of their goods to Rio; and had placed th e rema i n . der on board different merchant ships, where it could be more readily protected in the event of the town being attacked or thrown into confusion by popular tumults. The British residents, although suffering most severely in their fortunes by all these things, and earnestly wishing, of course, that peace might be restored, had felt the propriety of maintaining an entire yet dignified neutrality,—a conduct which, inde pendently of all prudential considerations affecting their per sons and property., it was almost fitting, in a national point of view, that they should adopt ; and which, if it, should tail to make fliendl4 of either party, would at least command the respect of both. Commodore Sir Thomas Hardy had repaired to Bahia in September, when affairs began to wear a threateningaspect, and by his presence contributed greatly to reassure his countrymen. The garrison of Bailie is said to con sist of three thousand regular troops, a number, however, not more than sufficient M defend it, for the nature of the ground 'is such, that the invading force can, without inconvenience to themselves, vary their attacks on different points, so as to bar. rase the soldiers exceedingly. One or two of these attacks were made every week upon the different out-posts ; and al. though nothing material appeated to be effected, it was evident that the Portuguese troops were becoming more and inure in. commoded by th is s pecies of warfare; and ae strong reinforcements to the Brazilians were on their way from Pernambuco and Rio, it was not thought likely that the place could hold out much longer. he Brazilian Government had made an offer ot' the command of their Navy to Lord Cochrane. His Lordship we at Valpa raiso. Sir Thomas Hardy had hoisted his pendant in Doris, Captain Vernon, whilst his own ship, the Creole, went to Rio to refit, and to obtain refreshments. The Doris had re. cently arrived from the Pacific, and had 'transferred to the Conway a Million of dollars. The Blossom, Capt. Al‘Leen, it was report e d, h a d or d ers to procee d f rom Ri o round Cape Horn, to take the place of the Dors. The Beaver, Captain Bourchier, sailed on the 31st - of December from Bahia; for Rio and the Rive r Pl at e. C a p ta i n P orter , o f t h e Alacrity, had gone across the Andes to join his ship at Valpa. raiso. The Aurora, Capt. Prescott, senior officer in the Pacific, was at Lieutenant Henderson, late First Lieutenant of the Doris, and,for Some time acting Captain of the Blossom, came home as a passenger in the Conway. having invalided at Bahia, inconsequence or extreme ill health. . The Conway brought to klngland 2,1100,000 dollars, on mer chants' account. She also brought mails from the various parts of South America. Mr. (idly and Mr. Morris, Mid shipmen, have been appointed Lieutenants of the Conway ; Mr. Purvis (sort of George Pitivis, Esq. of Blackbrook, Hants) ie promoted to be Lieutenant of the Doris, vice Henderson, invalided; Mr. Wodehouse (son of Wodehouse, ALP. for Norfolk), to be Lieutenant of the Blossom, vice Vassel, in. valided.

Commodore Nourse had sailed in the Andromache, to visit his station--the Mau ritius, Madagascar, Tranquebar, and Sechel Islands. The Menai, 26, Capt. Moresby, C. 8., was daily expected at Bunn. bay, on her way to England ; the Ariatine 28, Capt. Moorsom, being on the passage to relieve her. The Delight, on being refitted, (she had a long Passage from Rioj, was to sail for the Mauritius, to relieve the Cygnet.

The orders for the Seringlipatato and Redwing, to join the squadron in the West Indies, have been this week annulled, and those ships arc directed to remained at Spithead Mr further instructions. The Freneli having sent several ships, and are prepazing others, to erdize on the coast of Spain and in the Mediterranean, it is considered probable that a Squadron of Observation will be formed for a similar object. The Ring dove, 18, Capt. Rich, sailed yesterday for Jamaica, with dim patches for Sir Chas. Rowley, but strong S.W. winds prevented her getting far. No orders, whatever indicative of the near approach of war, have been received here. • We understand his Majesty's Packet Service will be [curried on in ten gun brigs, utter the Int of April next.
