[Morning Post.] Adv-ices have been received from Trinidad to tl►e end of November, by which we learn that five English Gentlemen, who had been engaged in obtaining supplies for the Insurgents on the Spa nish Main, while proceeding to Angostura in a snrAll vessel, were captiired by a Royalist armed brig at the mouth of the Orinoco, It is also stat ed that a considerable gi►antity of specie, taken by General BOLIVAR at Santa Fe, the capital of New Grenada, had been transmitted across the country to Angostura. We hear from good authority, that Lord Com bermere, at present Commander-in-Chief of the West India Islands, will shortly proceed to Cey lon, to take the command in that quarter, in the room of Lieut.-General Sir Robert Brownrigg.— We are alio informed that the gallant Lieutenant- General Sir John Oswald is destined to he the successor of Sir Thomas Maitland in the Govern men► and Chief COmmand of the lonian Islatids. It will be remembered that it was this distin guished Officer who originally rescued these Islands from French domination, and whose sub sequent conduct gave such entire satisfaction to the natives, and was the means of reconciling them to the 'British Government.—(lbid.) [Neu) Times.] Extract of a Letter from a young Officer on bow(' the American frigate Congress, to his friend in Washington : . " RIO JANEIRO, JULY will probably like to. bear something of this place. The coast, as you approach it, is graml beyond description. The mountains are of immense height, extending as tar as the - eye can retie)), up the country. The Brazil coast may be truly caned iron-bound ; 1 believe there is not in the world such another. " The town looks well from the roads where we lie, which arc about two miles off. It is re gularly laid out, but tie streets are narrow end the buildings closely crowded. Some inh-abitants are said to be of imn►ense Wealth ; but it seems - to me they must be miserable, for there is scarce any sociality among them, and their houses are neither well built nor well furnished. • " The Portuguese are the most superstitions beings in the world; the country •being ruled by Priests, whom they believe to be sent from God to pardon their stns. I have visited their churches, which are more splendid than any buildings in the States, and saw many devotees kneeling before golden images. " The King and Queen disagree ; they have sepa rate palaces, carriages, and guards. The King is bound up in rtligion, disliking all shews , and par a d e . The Queen is d i rectly the reverse. There are three Princesses, all very pretty ; one of them gbite a beauty. I saw the whole family at the chapel. I have been too at the theatres, and saw dancing Whi c h surpassed all I had 'ever seen. A few days since a man in business here The following is an extract of a Letter from Malta, dated Nov. 20 : " We are now without Admiral, Governor, or Lieutenant-Governor. Gen Layard was super seded, to the beginning of October, by Sir Man ley Power, who immediately got leave of ab sence and Went to France to fetch his lady, and is not yet returned. Sir Thomas i‘Litland ar rived here catty last mouth, after an absence of a year. Alarming accounts of insurrection at Santa Maura occasioned him to leave this almost immediately . tor the lonian Islands, where he seems fixed, and, by all account 9 from that quar ter, their is no likelihood of his returi: for some lime. Indeed, it is thought that he will have his hands full there; but it is very di6tressing for this island, many causes of the High Court of Appeal having been pending fur years. %%then lie was here, lie could not find time to - hear them, and there are now many prisoners waiting for trial at the Admiralty Court, particularly the, pirates, of whom 'yon doubtless have heard There is no question as to their guilt, as I undeivand they have all confessed; the Captain and Mate throw- in the blame on the seamen, run' they on their Officers. Two have been admitted Mug's evi dence. Their trial had been ordered for the 26th ult., but-Sir Thomas's absence has hitherto pre vented it. When Sir Manley Power returns, they do say a Court of Piracy will be l►eld, at which he will preside instead of Sir Thomas Maitland ; yet I hardly think this will be the case, as, ac cording to tl►e tenor of the commission originally given to Sir Thomas, he, and he only, mast pre side ; but . as it seems now quite nncer►ain when he will be here, the attempt to delegate his judicial powers for this purpose is intended to be made if the prisoners object to it, as I have no doubt they will, I should not be surprised it they were sent to England. The Crown-Advocate is said to have strong doubts about it, and I hardlythink they will venture to execute eight or ten people under such circumstances. Thus you see how things are managed here, and all for want of a permanent Governor. But what do !lyre say, and what do they not stiffer ! I will give one trait, and you may judge by that of others. From the great and increasing distress here, (nothing having been done to benefit the trade of this island), the Government found a great falling off in the consumption of wheat, of which, you know, they have the ac)( Ctscr ‘va's very great quantity on bend. decreasc, to the consumption they rightly attrihnted to the substitution of barley and Indian corn for wheat, by the distressed people. To remedy this, in their wibdom and hnmanily, do you think they did 2 They laid a fresh duty on the importation of barley and Indian corn; by which means, as any man in his senses must see, the poor people, instead of being relieved, were forced a s►ep lower in misery, and compelled to substitute something worse or less in quantity. The event has proved this ; and as the above plan has not increased the consumption of wheat, the Govern ment bave accordingly increased a second lime the duties on barley and Indian corn, which can only make the people more wretebed. Mean time the wheat is very bad, and our In--al horrid. Surely wF cannot expect that this kind oLpolicy will tend to make us more respected or beloved here unfortunately every Englishman, whether favouring or censuring the present system, shares alike the aversion of the natives ; but those who influence these measures seem not to owe much for public opinion. " Every thing is kept very secret here respect ing the insurrection. Santa Maura, I hear, is Full of troops, and they say all is quiet at present! 'et us hope that there is no smothered fire under the embers. Several executions have taken place; among the sufferers were two priests. Many have fled for the continent to seek refuge under Ali Pael►a. The Bishop is in custody with several other people. The insurrection has been caused by overbearing taxes. Every inhabitant has been disarmed ; guns, swords, dirks, daggers, all taken : and it is supposed that similar -measures will take place in the other islands. Sir Thomas, we n t off to Santa Maura, but did not land." *** We have included among our daily Ex rracrs from the LONDON Jout;t4Ar-s the foregoing etter, because, if the statements which it con aina are well-founded, it calls for the peculiar at ention of Government ; but it is proper to ob lerve, that it appears in a Paper kiistinguished fur is hostility to Ministers. COAL MARKET, JAN. —5. Shipsat Market. Ships sold. Prices. 96i, Newcastle tii Sanderland l4 lBs Od to Os Od FATAL PUGILISM —A severe.battle was fought on Monday, at Sealesworth, near Woodford, be tween George Clowes, a farrier, and Stephen Grist, paviour, originating out of a dispute at a public house, about Christmas-boxing. Both men start ed off to Oght in a state of ineb:iation, and the contest was manfully though aukwardly maintain ed tor three-quarters of an hour, when Clowes tell insensible, and never spoke again. It seemed his death was occasioned by the rupture Of a blood-vessrl. (The following paragraph appears inneTimes of this (lay, and though it is hardlypossible that the person to whom it is addressed will treat it other wise than with contempt or ridicule, yet it is right to endeavour to impress it on his mind, however hopeless the attempt) : " We are disposed to give a few words of sound counsel to some of our cot emporaneous writers, in which act we may perhaps encounter the usual fate of unsolicited advisers—that of giving (silence; Yet the desire of doing gond still " prias us on." Air. COBBETT, it is trriderstood, means to attempt, as he once did before, the establishment of a Daily Paper. Some of the liOmely adag, sof Mobiles Poor Robin Improved, generally published at this time of the year, Pithy give him hope, both of mn. ral and peconi.ry advantage in this enterprise. " it's long lane without a turniog;" and once a rascal, not always a rascal." These =ire dicta which may inspire him with a just attrition.— Let bins not abuse with the utmost coarseness one day, a man whom he praises with equal vio lence the next: but let him have some regard to his own word and recorded opinion, and then others may respect them. We would wish him se riously to consider, iii t there perhaps never was . a man with his powers (which yet be greatly , iver-. rates) so thorolighly an object of contempt as be is, since the English language was mitten, from bia, we hope, still corrigible habits of lying and sWear jug, and swaggering, and libelling, and praiiing, • without the slightest regard to truth, prow iety, sub serpent detection, or stit-contradiction. The people to whom he writes, are, we fear, in a great degree, such as he used to-call them, and as he will, ii s doubt, call them again ; still arGy are not quite so brutal as, by his mode of treating them, be seems to suppose. They would rather have the man who addresses them decent, respectable, and (tor the sake of his opinions at least, even though they care nothing about himself) consistent, tini , orm i , and unimpeachable, than the very reverse of all these. Their enemies have a powerful hold upon them, in 'representing them as the followers of a brutal demago4ue, who says and unsays the same thing in a week. Was any thing so_horri ble ever heard of, as his vowing that he would so abuse Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, that the Baronet sti ul.l destroy hinirelf, and be buried in - a'eros4- road for suicide ; and soon after offeting to shake hands, on crtunition that the person against whom Ile malice was (1:rou:cc(1, should bring . into Par- liamew the slanderer, au.l another worthy, of simi lar, but perhaps something more decent. habits ?

We hope, for the sake of the re spectub!e part of the pres,' into v - h;ch this Mr. COBBETT is now again endeavouring to raise hitmelf, tlisit he will give tip such practices. • As to the bones which he calls Tom PAINE'S, (this, we may observe, nobody believes)—but as to the bones, to whatsoever animal they may have be-. lOnged, we will advise wlint to do with them.— here is nearly opposite to Shoreditch CLuich, a sign to this effect—" The best price given for old bones."

Ha threatens, we ut.e told, the revivA of an oWfaux pas against the proprietor of another"E‘cning Paper. Such a coarse would neither Le politic nor humane : for, first, it is certain that, be the accusation ever so title, such an accuser would at once render it doubtful : the accused need only assert that it _was one of COBBETT'S lies, and then e charge is for ever spoiled tor the use of any ►recent man ; no cue would hereafter take it up, and the delinq►sent would, so far as this imputa. (ion went„ be thought pure and untouched. Who, in truth, can believe any thing that CORBETT Says, after the proof of his falsehoods in the trial cf WRIGHT V. CLEMENT, it none of his other ini quirks were laid open ? declare the letter read at the hustings to be a forgery !'---(See Mr. WRIGHT'S edition of the Trial just published.) It is obvious, that if truth could incur suspicion, or fall into discredit, it would be from its adop tion by such a man." Tile following is an Extract of a private Letter from Halifax : " HALIFAX (N. S.) DEC. 4.—We have bad ac counts still of the continnance of fever at I3er tnuda : so touch so, that Admiral Griffiths does not think it necessary to risk the health of the stpradron, by proceeding there immediately. His Majesty's ship Mersey, Gip. Collier, sailed for Bermuda this morning, in order to obtain the ne cessary information. The Carnation, Capt. Ilan, and Bellette, Capt. Peechel, * are already there. Remain here, the Newcastle, Rear-Admiral Grif fiths, Capt. Fanshaw ; and Cyrene, Capt. Tozer. The..determination of Captain•Generd the Earl of Dalhousie, to reside here until the spring, (when he proceeds to Canai.la), has given great and uni versal satisfaction. At th'e'North British 'Society's dinner, on St. Andrew's Day,, the toast which ob tained the most enthusiastic applause, with shows and illl7.ZdS, was,: May the wisrl , ”n of Parliament devise means to root Out the Radicals."' On Saturday Sir JOHN SINCLAIR presented to .the. Lord Provost and Magistra ei some trophies of the battle.ofloo, which he had collected on tl►e field soon after the engagement. It is in .tended to place these proofs of the heroism of our countrymen in the proposed national monu ment, when completed.—(Edinburgh Courant, .Jan. 3.)
