CORTES, TWENTY-FIRST DAY. . . In consequence of an official dispatch fromthe Secretary of Marine having been read,' and various' other documents, stating,- that General- Monti verde had pacified all the - province of Caltiteqqi; and takcn the rebel Miranda and all the other in- surgent chiefs prisoners,. SenOr Calatrava proposed, that the - 11,•gency;Should, be instructed to infori Don Domingo Alontiverde,.--that the : Cortes had seen, with great satisfaction, the happy results of, ',. his operations ; as likeviise the important services Which he and the troops 'under his . ciiruniand tad . performed.,, in the pacification and reconquest of the Caraccas. This proposition. was . approved, - with the suppression of the vr..rd " re-conquest,''. on the proposal of Senor Men diola:' The Cortes then proceeded to thesconsideration• • of the Ultramarine Commies ion - (see the Sitting of the 12th August last), relative to the abolition of the Mitas (1), and the other pro Positions of Senor Castello. This Senor, in along and learned discourse, in. Which, 'with the most solid reasons, he proved the. inhumanity, injustice, and barbarity,Of such an establishment. Having concluded, he begged 'of Senor Coride ,1e Toreno, that they should imme ' diately proceed to vote, as the point did not re 7 quire greater illustration; and. all the Deputies bein g convinced (except perhaps Senoi•Ostola'za),. Who hi:d made a proposition in favour alias Mi-- tas, of the , necessity of, abolishing an establish..., ment which . opposed the principles of equality established - bet-Ween the - Ultrainarine Spaniards and those On the Peninsula. After some discus 2iOn, in which Senors Ostolaza and Laravehel took a part, the report of the Commission was pA k t to the"vote; and utianinions!y unproved: Ist, That Las- Mitas should be for ever abo-. tilled. 2d, That the Indian . s should be exempted from the personal service they gave-the Clergy; or. any other public functionaq whatever, obliging them, however, to satisfy 4:e parochial rights, the same . .: .. . , as .the otner classes. 3d, That the public charges, such as the re building churches, making roads, ' should ' be.. equally borne by all the inhabitants indiscrimi , - uately. 4th, That divisions of land shnuld.be made 'to the Indians; leaving- to the Provincial Deputies the care of assigning the quotas, &c. &c; . sth, That in all the territories of America, some of the dignitaries should necessarily remain with the Indians. . LISBON, OCT. 22.—The following communica-: tion 'has been made by the administrator of , the post at Badajoz, to the General Post-Office in this capital :-- " The province of Estremadura, and the four kingdoms of Andalusia, are free from the enemy; and consequently their communications, by post, are in full activity. The same is the case in New and in Old Castile,as far as Burgos, in the Asturias, the kingdMus of Leon and GalliCia, with Puebla de Senabria, Za:nor, Toro, .Guadalaxara, Soria, km ~ and the province of enca. -. ' . .` " In the Lingdom of Valencia, the Alicant post !s free, and in circulation ; but in Murcia, though, evacuated by theenemy, here is little communica tion, on account of the•epidemic, which prevails in various_ towns of that kindoal. . " InArragon,,the towns bordering ',upon Old Castile, !And the provinces of Soria and Cuenca, are alone in a state to receive correspondence by ,letter. , -- - - . . . Tlie Balearic istei; and tbatof Ivi•sa, enjoy ac tive intercourse ; as_ 'also does great part of Cata lonia, from whence letters are conveyed in vessels destined for Cadiz. . . . (Signed) .

People of the vast Spanish Monarchy, you have in these wise and beneficent regula',ions of the National Congress • fresh proofs: of the akantages you may promise yourselves -from your Cortes. ' , . • The Royal, Society on. -Thursday evening had .their first meeting for the season, when a, letter from Sir H. Davy to tlic Presidentwai read, cola taMing an account of a most -extraordinary-new detonating substance. It is composed of the two elastic Binds,' azote and chlorine, and it appears ,in the forum of a yellow oil, heavier thin water,' and: explodes with great vi:mlenee by heat . equal to that' of the human body: It may he preserved for a time under water, but it requires the greatest cau tion to be experimented, upon in dry vessels, as mere Motion will cause it to detonate. . Sir A. Davy, Mattempting to explode a small quantity, not larger than a mustard seed, in 'a close vessel, with a view to collect the products, received a se vere wound in the transparent cornea of the eye, which at present prevents the "Sight. We learn that he ie attended by Mr. Ware, and we.are happy to state that he is likely to sustain- no permanent injury, in consequence of the accident. It is men tioned in a. private letter from Paris, that a sub ' stance, probably. analogous,, has latelybeen disco vere:d there, but the preparation of 'it has not been m ode public. 'There is reason to suppose it has been concealed, from its being applicable to the' pu vuoses of war. „ On Wednesday last in the Consistory Court of the Court'of Gloucester, the Rev. Thomas Ireland, D.D. rector of Bourton-on-the-Water, and the Rev. G. Cooke, D.D. rector of Tortworth, were elected, by the Clergy there assembled" by public advertisement to be Proctors 'for the Clergy of the Diocese of.

'AfILF - ORD, , NOVEMBER 6.—The Fair Hilternia, M'CiowAN, from Liverpool for Lisbon,: which came in here lately, has been found to be so much • damaged, that is necessary to discharge the cargo, ih order that.she may be ,repaired. The Pursuit arid Endeavour, revenue cutters, of tbis port, re , turned on Wednesday.eyening from makingan at-, tempt` to relieve the .men on the Smalls Light frouse,-;and to escertain the damages: it has sus- Aalised by the late, tempestuous weather. The spring gales and heavy sea prevented the cutters from - having any communication wiih the men on the . rock ; but we are happy to state r , that they are safe, as,a..flag Was flying on the Light House. The upper part of the lanthorn appears to have sustained considerable injury, which accounts for the light not having been kept up since the gale of the 18th October. Every possible - ex - ertion has been made, and.We look forwardvvith anxious hope for moderate weather, to.etfect a purpose so de sirable, from motives of humanity, and general advantage to the shipping interest. ~,,00,Saturday , night, about nine o'clock, as a gentleman was passing through Tavistock-street, Covent-garden ; he was stopped by' , a gang of robbers; consisting of about four men, who" surrounded him, and 'forcibly took eight gold seals from, his chain. • They endeavoured to get his chain. and watch ; but the gentleman resist ing them, and some: persons . 'approaching, the .gang ran off with the seals only. - Ow,Tuesday . week', a person named George Stewart, the' owner of a slate quarry near Full wood, Oxfordshire, having been some time at a public-house 'in Sheffield, on paying his reckoning. ekposed his pocket-book,• containing about 20 luitLeas in notes, of which he was robbed. The next morning, ,very early, he called at the house of one of the constables to know. how he should proceed against the robbers, whom he knew ; :and would swear to,. He then:appeared exceedingly ill and exhausted,, and it is understood that he had been Out all that dreadfully tempestuous night. He wAs afterwards seen on the Park road, on his way, ,t?;Woodthorpe for a warrant; hut not re turning,tWo of his family ; went ati search of him, and on Ifridayfound him dead, in a coppice near Mr..,Staniforth's farm. The Jury, which after- Wards sat on the body, by their verdict, found, that having been overcome with fatigue, he had gone to rest in the plantation, where he died.— Three soldiers are in custody, ,charged with having rObbed the deceased of his pocket-book, &c. on iiesday. A . sailor belonging to Sunderland has been take? into custody at Stockton, on suspicion of having murdered a young. woman of the latter place. It appears that the clothes•of the female w‘tre found a few days ago lying by the side of the river, and from the parties being seen toge ther late on the preceding' night, 'suspicion at tached to the young man: He was in consequence apprehended,. and in his trunk was found a bloody shipt t -which made the case against him so strong as to warrant his counuittal.. ROI3BERY OF THE LEEDS MAIL. , After a diligent investigation, it is supposed the property contained, in the different .bagsAtolen, amounts . to ,about 15,000 i: not any of whiph has yet been dikovered or come in. The tobliery, it has been ascertained, was.com mittedbetween Burton and Higham The guard bad rode from Kettering to Burton 'with thecoAchman, there being no outside pas 7 -senger. - At . Burton, tbe guard -purchased a pair. . • (# ; e ,ucks,_and pnt them into the locker, Which eottains, the bags, wh e n he was. positive all the. bags Were - safe. They proceeded on to Higham Terrers, to which place the guard continued riding with the coachman. He there.bad - occasion to: open thelocker again, when he discovered all the bags had been taken out', but by: what lIICAUS could not be ascertained,, as no violence appeared to have been used eitherto, the lack or the spring. ,Great alarm wo spread in-consequence; the guard took the precaution to send a man pxpres back to Kettering, to give notice of therobbery, and .he proceeded on with - the coach towards LOndon, On his arrival at'sthe Post 7 -offiee in Lombard street, and giving information of what had hap- pene7d, a general meetiug,of the principali of that Office was called, to consult what was best to be ,done. thecourse of morning an ins"estiga tion took plaee at Mr. Parkin's, house in Great Orthotid;-street, the Solicitor to the Post-office, where the guard was 'strictly investigated, when he swcire that be locked th e l o ck er a t Burton, and that be saw no person or persons on the road the four miles between Burton and Higham Ferrers. It may be necessary here to observe, that the guard is net of that class of men of which they are . generallytOmposed, He is the son Of•Mr.G. a Very 'respectable tradesman in the Strand, Who -supplies the Post-Office with oil, and regulates the laMps of that place, which was superintended by his son, the guard, and during his attendance there he took a fancy to the,life of a guard, and' nothing would satisfy hini but that, and on his applying._ for the; appointment it was given to him, and no suspicion Las attached: to hint in the business ; *but for the neglect of and, disobeying a positive order against . with the coachman, be has been dismissed fram his place; at bread' of this,mlder is fatal to .!aty •guard: 'After the 'investigation at Mr. Parkin's house, he was sent Off to accompany 'Lai ender, the Bow-street Officer, into the coun try,* in pu, , shit'of the rohbeis At the same time the Deputydnspector of Mails Set oil' express to the different towns - and parts from where the bags belong-ed, to have bills, printed, and to give other 'notices: to preiient the circulation of the notes that had been stolen, .&c. • The Coachman who Ads-es the mail frAin Ket tering to Bedford was sent for to London, and he underwent a strict investigation. He stated to Mr. Parkin,! and others belonging to the Post office, tltat be bad no care of the letter begs, and *did not'hold himself responsible for any thing that may happen to them, that being wholly the busi ness of the guard;:tior did Le - interfcre . with the guard if he chose to ride with him on the box, as he did it at his own risk. He confirmed what the guard had stated of locking up the bags at Burton, as he swore , that he heard the lock and the spring catch. ,There being no citcumstantes to implicate. hith he Bv'as hot detained. He is not the servant Of the post-office. 'Lavender, the Bow-street Officer,. after. taking the guard some distance into the country with him, finding that, if he Was in the least iMplicated in the transaction,' he nould undo all that he was doing, or his : person being so well known all the way on the road as the guard of the mail, it would spread far and wide who he was, and thereby pre- . vent him from 'making any private inquiries, or gaining any secret information, he therefore sent the guard back to London. Lavender continued riding day and night in his pursuits; he found the statements of , the guard and coachman to be correct; 'as to any person be ing on the road between Burton and Ingham Fer rers. He then proceeded on the cross roads, where,he heard' of a malt Of the name of Kendall, who is a farmer of tolls, - who rented the gate at Bythorti 'BAT, on the road rending from Hunting don to Kettering. He knowing a suspicions chit racterOf the name of Kendall, who was a short.. time since convicted of 'uttering counterfeit money, and who he had freqUentlY seen in the company of _'thieves,, if it was the same man, he had no doubt but that he had either been concerned in robbing the mail, or knew those that had doneit ; he ac cordingly made inquiries respecting him, andlound that he resided'at Wellingborough ; he proceeded there, and happened to meet him in the street, and, having previously known him, entered into .conversation with him upon different subjects, and at length respecting the robbery of the mail, and told . hint frankly that • he suspected -he knew something .of .the business.. Kendall denied it ; but on the OffiCer qtiestioning him as to where he was at the time. of the robbery, he acknowledged he . was:not nt home, or at least earlier in the evening. .Lavender's suspicions were such as induced him to take Kendall into custody, and afterwardS pro ceeded to search his premises, Which' he found large enough to ,have contained the mail.coarh and horses ; nothing was found. there relative to :the mail robbery: Having lodged Kendall' in pri son, the Officer proceeded in his inquiry for evi dence during several days, when he Focured Such . information as induced him to take Kendall's. sis ter into custody, she having kept Bythorn Bar gate, during her brother's absence on the. evening, and at. the time the mail was rubbed. Lavender having. procured a long chain of circumstantial .evidence, eylatninatiouS of his prisoners took place at Wellingborough last 'Wednesday and Thurs day, befOre Lord Compton., Mr. Dickins, and 'Mr. Hudson, Magistrates for the county of,Northamp ion , Mr. 'Parkins Solicitor to the Yost-Office; and Mr. Asear, Superintendant of the Mails, when we understand, the. following particulars were proved as applicable so as to affect' the prisoners. On. the evening the mail was robbed, Kendall left Bythorn-bar in a cart, in company with another" man ; stopped at a public-house near Thrupstone, drank ale and smoked ; it was then about five _o'clock ; they, were. then about seven miles, in - a' cross road, from the spot of ?owl - where the mail is supposed to have - been robbed. They left the public-house soon after five o'clock. As they passed along the road, .a man in the field, when they did not see, overheard them dispute who was 4o pay the toll' at a turnpike gate through which they ,fit-ere to, pass ;, they agreed that the (41'4 man was to' pay . the toll, •as Kendall was known by the- gateAeepfr . „ and, to avoid being seen, he got*ont iiirtart, and walked across some fields, . and no doubtgot, idyl . the cart ?gain.
