NT a MEETING Of tli6 COMMITTEE for CONDUCTING the SUBSCRIPTION for the LIFE GUARDS ; JOHN BLADES, Esq. in the Chair; Resolved, That the conimittee duly appreciate the delicacy of feeling which has governed the Ist Regiment. of Life Gdards, in declining to accept any portion of the Money. that has been subscribed to remunerate the Military, for their conduct on the 14th of August. That, nevertheless, they are persuaded it is the wish of the Subscribers at large, :as it is•of the Committee themselves, that a lasting record should be kepCof the forbearance, good temper, and disciplinenf the Life Guards onthat occasion. That to effect this object, as far as still remains in their power, they propose to offer to the Governors of the Royal Military Asylum that portion of the money which was intended for the Life Gizaras, for the furtherance of the interests of that Charity, accompanied by a wish tlirt 'the Donation may be so recorded by them as to preserve a lasting memorial of the circumstances which gave rise-to it. That such Subscribers as disapprove of this appropriation of their money, be requested to intimate their dissent to the Ho norary Secretary, by a letter addressed to him, post paid, and superscribed :Life Guards Subscription," on or before the Ist of October, and the amount of their respective Subscriptions shall be repaid to. them, through the medium of any London Banker they will mention. That as it is impossible to identify the parties who have sub scribed under fictitious s4gnatures, the expences that have been . incurred in- advertising and other incidental matters shall be deducted from their subscriptions, and the balance, if any, paid over to the before-mentioned Charity. That previous to the adjustMent of such balance, a list of the Stibscribers, arid of the several Resolutions that have been advertised by the Committee, shall be printekl, and a copy thereof given, with the apprObationrif the Officers of the Ist Regiment of Life Guards; to each Non-commissioned Officer and Private in the Regiment, as a sincere, though inadequate token, of the public admiration which their conduct has uni formly excited. That these Resolutions shall be exnsively published in the Daily Papers. GEORGE STEPHEN, Honorary Secretary, 38, Broad-street-buildings. September 18, 1821. The Subscribers are requested to take notice, that the time required to call i Bankers residing in extreme quarters of the town, will make it impracticable to repay their Subscriptions immediately on receiving notice to do so, but they shall be re paid with all practicable dispatch.

SIR RALPH WOODFORD AND THE SPANISH INDEPENDENTS. • • [Concluded from our Paper.of Yesterday.] In the city of Guayana, Nov. 2, 1820, being present as a wit-. ness,*the citizen Jose Prendencio Lauz, brought forward by the Procurator-General of the Republic, I received his oath in due form, and interrogated him as to the fact containedin the foregoing, when he deposed as follows : „: - - To the first, That he,positively certifies that the misfortune related in this particular, was the lot of the citizen Peteomla Lara, widow of the Captain citizen Franco. Sanches Vet.Ca, who, fearftil of falling a victim to the troops of'loves and Morales, embarked for the Island of Trinidad, and on her arrival there presented herself before the Governor, wL.o, renived her with the greatest insult and degradation to her set, and ordered her instantly to depart the Island : that slit complied, and returned to the (oast of Guiria, from whence 410 emigrated, in eomptury with one Velasce, who,- as 04:1 :she, sought his safety. To the second, That he testifies, from certain knowledge, hat a.multitude.of. persons acted on the same resolution of gc- ing to the Island of Trinidad, in consequence _ of the facility of going there in any bark, however small, and 'that almost all were drivel!, back, and•that a very few, who got perinission to land at Port Spain, were under the condition to leave the Island the first Opportunity, though they could scarcely escape the enemy who infested its coasts ; that:anany of them were assassinated, and others died of hunger in the mountains, wher they could 'not any longer subsist upon herbs, and thehorrid recourse to hu man flesh ; that those who were permitted to land were instainl confined In the connrion'prison, without respect to age, circum stances, or political opinion ; as was the fate Of the Citizen Pres byter, Dr. F. Rivaz, Dr. N. Auzola, Officer Q; Bahunilla, citi zen.P. &riches de Torres, and a multitude of pacific persons ; the principles of hostility which directed the conduct of Gover nor 'Woodford were manifested in his ref Using permission to to land to the wife of the citizen Nlanl. Landa, who arrived . there iniabour, and was delivered during the five,days she re- mained on board ; so that no Chief could be found better formed to second the sanguinary views of. Boves and Morales and his infernal followers. To the third, That he'refers to the contents of the foregoing. To the fourth, That.those who were driven back by Wood- ford, and those who could not embark, were assassinated on the Coasts of Guiria, which for some time were covered with heaps of dead bodies, to the horror of those strangers who traded to those Coasts ; and when they informed the said GoVernor,of these dreadful sights, he evinced the greatest insensibility, and 'even pleasure. To the fifth,. That the fact ncited in that particular is posi . tive and notorious. . To the sixth, That by the computation . of faith-worthy per sons, and even of European Spaniards; mote than three thou. saidpersons were sacrificed to the brutal-vengeance. of Boves and Nrorales, and.their satellites. To the seventh, That it is positive that the war carried on by these ChiefS was not against • republicanism or political opinion, but against the white people ; and a proof of it is, that they saerificed, without distinction of age tre•sex, the inhabitants of Venezuela of that colour; and for this reason they were all white people who emigrated. To the eighth, That Boves and Morales had formed the pro ject of exterminating the white people without distinction of sex or age, and for this purpose they encouraged the passions of the people of colour, of which their army was composed, pro mising to them the possession and enjoyment of the property of such white people as they murdered, a testimony uniformly given by those 'Persons 'who, awaking from their illuion, aban ,doned the standard of tyrannyy and joined that of liberty and independence. • • To the ninth, That it is Positive, from - . o f the information of the troops of Boves, that the fact stated in this particular is true. • - . • To the tenth, That the facts recited in this particular are also certain and public ; that he does not recollect the names of the individuals refused permission to land .in the aforesaid Colony, but he well recollects the Presbyter Domingo Brumal coining from St. 'Moines to Trinidad, in the idea of hying there where he had old friends. Ile-Was allowed to land, but as soon as the Governor knew that he was -an emigrant from Cumana, although he came from St. Thomas, he ordered Inn to be put in the public prison, where he was conducted with scandal and outrage ;" and at' the expiration of three days,. lie was shipped off for another Colony. The Presbyter, Domingo Ballihilla, experienced al most a similar reception, having arrived with his wife and se veral children from the Island of Guadeloupe, and as soon as the. Governor knew they were emigrants from Cumana lie or dered them instantly to return in the same ship to the Colony they clunk from, loading this unfortunate family with bitter • reproaches, and violating the laws of Comnierce in not allowing the Captain to land, to his realise his venture, nor giving them time to procUre pro Visions, which they urgently requestell. To the. eleventh, That he refers to the second, • and further declares that the hatred evinced by Woodford towards all the emigrants from the Main, was intense ; and notwithstanding he had orders from the British Ministry to observe a strict neu trality between the Spaniards and Americans ; and although by the Colonial Constitution toleration is allowed in.matters of religious belief, he prodeeded criminally against the emigrants Miguel Sanchez and Miguel Pereira, of the city of Cumana, for having been wanting in what he considered as" flue respect to ,the Sacrament, in the la.ase of a sick person where they acci dentally were. They were conducted to prison,. proceeded against summarily, and in eight days were condemned with out being heard, and without confessing that they were of the Catholic church ; the following Sunday they, on bent knees, heard high mass perforMed at nine o'clock in the morning, 'in presence of the Catholic population ; afterwards sung the-Psalm of Misericordia, in manifestation of repentance, and a Sermon was pronounced by the Priest in the pulpit, which served to shew to the people the placidness of Sanches and Pereira, and •the violence of Governor .Woodford. All this was executed in the presence of an immense - population of all nations and reli gions ; after which they were recommitted to prison, and the following day they were embarked for Grenada, where Sanchez' died, and Pereira met the -same fate on the Main. To the - twelfth, That the contents of that particular are eel , : twin ; and further, that the Marquis del Toro, and his brother Don Fernando del Toro, in the year 1812 went to the Island of Trinidad, with the resolution of • remainin there 011 tranquil lity should be restored in the Province of Venezuela.. tio was obliged to leave the Colony or find security, for no other reason than, in a letter from St: Thomas, directed to the -Marquis by his brother-in-law, -it was mentioned that. General Bolivar had .departed with an expedition for the coast of Venezuela. To the thirteerth 2 'That this deponent saw three or four vessels, well, manned and provided, leave - Trinidad to go to the assistance of - the : Spaniards ; . and also that lie has seen Porto Franco given to four or five Spanish bombs, permitting then}to remain armed in port of Spain ; notwithstanding the re= peated requests made by the merchants, that they should be disarmed, in order to permit them to realise the Commercial specitlations they hadpending. " . • To - the. fourteenth, That he refers to .what he has already de posed; and adds, that no proof can be more authentic of the hatred entertained by . Woodford againSt all who favour or embrace the cause of liberty, than his having industriously per. scented all who entertain such -sentiments. - li e expelled: the foreigner Mariani, a, rich inhabitant of the island, without-per nutting him to dispose of his property. He 'Conducted with troops, and manacled with fetters, the Spaniard "NI a,gl.- Sanches, because he served ,the • Repnblic,; that after many days impri sonment, he was put to the public works,. in paving the streets, and expelled.ta St. Thomas, without giving him, or allowing him to provide himself with provisions. That; on the con trary, all those who. had an opposite opinion„have had in Go: PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, SEPT. 20. This being the pr'cise day to which Parlia ment stood prorogued from the 12th of. July last a Royal Commission was issued under the Grea Seal, dated the 17th inst. for the further proro gation of both Houses on this day. • - FURTHER PROROGATION. Exactly at two o'clock, the Earl of WESTMORELAND, the Earl of HAultow3)Y, and the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, took their seats before the Throne, fully robed ; when the Lonn Pp.EsIDENT of the COUNCIL. directed the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod to inform the House of. Commons, that their ' Lordships were sitting tO reeeivethe other House in pursuance to a Commission from his MAJESTY. Soon after the Clerk Assistant (.John Rickman, Esq.), ac companied by same of the Officers and Attendants of the Com ' mons, - came into this House, when the Royal Commission was immediately read. .. The LORD PRESIDENT of the Couwetr. then informed both Houses, that by virtue of the Commission just read, and in ,obcdlence to his Majesty's ,commands, the present Parlia ment, which stood prorogued to Thursday, the 20th instant, then to be holden, was further prorogued to Thursday, the 29th day Of November next ; and that this Parliament was accords ingly now prorogued to that day. - ► Hereupon ,the Representatives of the Commons left the bar, and the 'Lorde 'CommissionerS then withdrew. Viscount INIEr.v.ILLE was present. Prayers were not read on this occasion. The drapery . had been removed from the Throne, although the Royal Chair was uncovered; and, owing to the absence of the LORD Mon CHANCELLOR, the carrying of the Mace was dispensed with. In consequence of its having been suggested by several Noblemen and Members of Parlia ment, who are Members of the,New Union Club House, which is forming on the plan of the United Service Club, that the intended situation in Re gent-street, near Hanover-square, would lie found very inconvenient by its distance from the houses of Lords and Commons, an arrangement has been entered into, by which the new line of Pall- Mall, near the Opera-house, is fixed on, and where a superb mansion is in a forward state foe the reception of the Members of the Club. N. vernor Woodford . a protector. and friend, as was the case with Dr. Antonio Gomez,. who having been the anthor of the Revo- - lutionin the Canaries, and escaping from the CaraCcas the 11th July 1811, was not only well received by Woodford, but oh thined from him all the necessariels he wanted ; and after the - con quest of Venezeula by Gen. -Monteverde, returned to that ca pital. On its being set free a second.-tinie by Gem Bolivar, be returned again to Trinidad; nndnot only did he receive him with cordiality; but made him undergei.a most rare metamorphoses, making bin) resign his only,profeSsiOn of Physician and turn Lawyer, although he did not absolutely know how to consti tute him, in the acts of the Government and Cabildo, to the disparagement of the Enghsh Juris-consults. That in the sequel of his operations against - the emigrants, he . has followed no other path than that pointed out by that insolent Canarian_; who only sought an opportunity of venting the venom of which he it composed, without either compassion or motive. TO the fifteenth, That this has occurred to several English men; of whom this- deponent does not recollect the names, ex cept the Quarter-master Benol, of the regiment of Trinidad.l To the sixteenth, That he only knows these facts by report, which are but too general. To the seventeenth, That this deponent is so well convinced of the 'la.:tile conduct of the aforesaid Governor towards the Vene. zuelians, and his adhesion to their enemies; being their indefa tigable protector, as all who arrived-: at Trinidad have and do experience ; and this. deponent has no doubt of the facts: ex pressed in thispartidalar. To the eighteenth, That-all be has declared is public and no torious, and true upon oath; that - lie has read it; - and agree/ fol. it in all its points ; ,that he affirms and ratifies it ; and will re peat it as often as demanded ; that he is 40 years of age, (rather lest), and signs' with me; of which I. give faith :—. Jose Piu dencio Lanz.-:-Antonio In the city of Guayana, 11th November, 1820, being pre sent the Citizen Pedro Ortez, a witness presented by .the Pro curator General, I received his oath in' due form, and interro gated him as to the tenor of the.facts contained in the foregoing, when he deposed as folloWs : . To the first, That in the month of October,.llll4, he arrived at Guiria with his family, with the object of going to the island of Trinidad, before the arrival of the enemy, who were then at a distance ; but that he could not prosecute his voyage, as no vessel would take him on board, in consequence of the (lover .ir having prohibited all - persons from the Maine, arriving in the Island. That the Presbyter, Citizen Diego Beirfardo, Sanchez, and the Padre , Mew -za, who was Curate . -in the Island f'St:'.Lucia, the' Citizeh Jose Manuel Morales, and others, ventured over in " fishing boats," and' present ed themselves before Governor Woodford; they were in stantly. repulsed, after had been insulted, and were conducted to prison, where they remained till they were reimbarked.- That no person in G'uiria knew_of this, as they continued to emigrate until the enemy entered, killing every,person ; that then many took canoes and launches, 'and at all risks made for the coast of Trinidad, where they were very badly received, and were con ducted before. the Governor, who maltreated them in various ways, as this deponent_knew after he left the mountains of Guiria. _ _ To the second, That many of those driven away by Gover nor Woodford, were obliged to return to the coast of Guiria, Where they were.'assassinatad ; .and others, who could do so, went to other Colonies. To the third, That he refers to what he deposed to. the first. . To the' fourth, The same. •: To the fifth, That being hid in the mountains of Guiria, he is ignorant of the fact. 'to the sixth, That about .three thousand persons died in Guiria, in consequence of Governor Woodford refusing. to give them an asylum iu Trinidad; and that the greater part of them were old men, women, and children (whites.) To the seventh, That it is certain Boves and Morales en deavoured to destroy all the white people, and those who could 'read and write, .for which purpose he armed the slaves, and promised them the possession of the property of their masters, in case they murdered them.. To the eighth, That he. refers to the, foregoing. To the ninth,_ That Roves, in order to inspire confidence in the slaVes who followed him, told them that when they had Murdered the rest Of the whites, and he only 'remained, they. shoiihr also dispatch him, if they've : Jailed to enjoy the proper, ties. conquered front them. • To the tenth, nig it is positive that among the persons driven away by Governor -Woodford, there were many women and children, and he recollects that the Citizen Petronila tiara was one of them. To the eleventh, That this deponent not being able to em bark for Trinidad before, the entry of the enemy into Gunia, because no vessel dished to take theni, in consequence of being prohibited by Governor Woodford, he hid himself in the moun tains, with the -Citizens Vis. Gallardo,• Proslrerio Suere, lose 'SantoS,.. Bernardo Padilla, Francisco Morales,- Diego Blanco, Ignacio.Ortez, and. others. That they remained there about two month's, till opportunely a black fisherman came to their aid ; that they *ere on the point of dying of hunger, but he had compassion on them, and took them in his boort() the coast of Trinidad, under the express, condition of not inforin ing the Governor who it was brought them there; that he landed.them in the night on the shore near Port Spain, from whence they proceeded towards the habitation of Dr. Alestino Surera ; and that, being near the henise, they were met by the • major domo, who in an angry manner made them 'return to the shore, saying h,e was ordered by hia master so to din and to al low none of the.emigrants to remain there, in consequence of -the fines imposed by the:GOvernor on such of the inhabitants as had pity on those . unfortunates ; that they departed before day ; the master having arrived in the mean time, was moved by their dreadful situation, gave theni supper, and a place to sleep in, charging them to depart before clay-break, and to be silent as to their having passed the night .there ; that this de- Potrent being extremely ill, could not follow. his companions, and was - carried:by two of them, till they met a car laden with sugar, the conductor of Which allowed him to get up, and in this manner was conducted to the town; to the house of one of the Citizens Morales, where lie remained while his companions went to present themselves to Governor Woodford, who re ceived them with Many insults, informing them that they should return to the Main ; Whichtliefresistect, and Protested againdt so cruel a mandate. In consequence, the Governor compelled them - to embark on board a . 11ilander for - Grenada, at 2 o'elock in the afternoon; without any consideration for the state of the deponent's health. Ile: commanded tw6 Algacils to conduct them on board the Bilander, where they were put in a dying state, without provisions e e sothat he thought his last moments had arrived. - That on the passage they. were taken by the squadron •of General Morino; 'who, after . making them e sail some time to the west,, allowed them to proceed on their voyage for Grenada, where they arrived nearly dead with thirst and hung - er, • and where they remained until the re establishment of his health, and much longer, without being molested. • To the twelfth, That he is ignorant of that parneular. To the - thirteenth, That he knows that. whln the enemy re treated from this province, Governor Woodford sent ships.with provisions to succour them. •To the fourteenth; That -the facts of thisparticular are cer tain ; and as a proof of it, Governor Woodford made the Emi. grants labour at the.public•works, as criminals.

There remain now no obsCurity and uncertainty ; ex . cent as.VT ' the motives for the dismissal off' • Riego, and the object of the "plot which'has been diseoyered—iiihich plot the POlitical•Eldef declares that General Riego had no part: •There is in the proclamation of that . General. i Vara graph which seems to allude to .. .facts totally' . ull.: known to the public, and respecting which. We declare that no information has reached•: us. After quoting the very flattering lotter Of - the Minister at War, refusing the oermission to quit Spain which General"Riego had asked, the Ge neral adds, that this letter (doubtless unknown to its author) suppressed trt' generous movement which inclined him to .aband.ou his country. That departure, he says, had. for its object to ?revent an event which would 'lave covered Spain with mourning. The whole'of tlw patag,caphis conceived in a vague and mysterious manner, which opens a vast field for conjecture, without indicating clearly . any fact on which conjecture can be founded. In giving the ,proclamation we omitted this paragraph , because the manner in which it is framed rendered a translation almost impossible. It is probable that General Riego will draw up his justification at Lerida, where he is confined, and that those facts which,-frmn their obscurity, give a colour to the malevolent deductions of party spirit, will glen be clearly explained. If the reports circulating to-day were to be credited,' General Mina, who com mands in Gallicia, has been sent untter surveil lancc to Badajos ;, but this rumour does not ap pear to be founded on any information worthy of confidence. [FRom TUE JOURNAL DE PARIS.] , . MADRID, SEPT. . 4.--(PRIVATE is now discoVered. There is no longer the slightest obscurity as to the true cause of the events which took place here on the 20th of Au gust, and which; but for the unshaken fidelity of the Spanish military, -would have driven us:into an abyss of evils. I . shall go back to the com mencement of the business. Immediately after the arrival of General Morillo at Madrid, he , erceived the existence of an anarchic faction in the capital, which protected the insurrection in America . , and which spared no means for para lysing the measures which the.Governthent wish ed to take to suppress that insurrection. To ilefeat the intrigues of the anarchic 'party, in which were included some Deputies of the Cortes from the transmarine provinces, the Ge neral wrote to his friends in Terra Firma, to send him without delay 'certain important, pa pers, which. he .had left in their. .hands, and which contained the proofs of these facts. These papers were in fact sent .from Caraccas.lo the- Havannah, where they were long.detainedunder ,frivolous pretences. They were finally embark ed on board a small yessel; which, from the moment of its departure to its arrival in Ca diz, was constantly pursued by several In surgent privateers; ..Whenarrived at Cadiz, the house at which' the. papers were deposited . ' was attacked during tile night, but the papers - ivere saved, thanks to' the guard whiCh came and rejyulsed the assailants; . -The Governor of 'Cadiz forw9.rded the Papers to' the capital. 'under a good escort. On the road thirteen armed men presented themselves' and wished in vain to take possesSion of them. At last,however, they arrived. They are in the hands of Morillo ; and the American faction began to- strew its alarm so pub fiery, that every one perceivea it, and said openly, that. the Government was very impru dent to allow the Vice-President of Columbia and . other two commissioners of the same republic to remain here.---The Government, however„ did nothing, and paid no attention to thelrepeated information communicated by the police-officers respecting the number of persons who every evening assembled under the windOis of the Guard to sing the Tragala, because the Guards had evinced an excess of zeal in favo,itr, of the King at the gate,of the palace. On the 20th a strange agitation was observed among the Ame ricans and the Comuneroq, who are intimately connected, and who did every thing in — their power to.make the conduct of General Morino be suspected by the garrison. Every one ex pected a disturbante during the night. In, fact, the singers of the Tragalu were more numerous than usual. The OffiCer of the Guard thought it his duty to disperse them; but the mob at tacked the guard with stones. The Officer then informed the General, and what occurred 'in his interference you already know. .NexC.day, the Cc o lonial Commissioners received orders to leave the peninsula. But the focus still remains. It consists of the Ameridan deputies, who, having given their votes in support of certain deputies on questions favourable to their interests, consi der themselves entitled to ask in return the as sistance of thoie deputies in procuring the kind of emancipation they wish for. • • . _ An Inqutiltion was taken ..yegterdarit,oorning at the .George, Brentford and Isleworth,-before Mr. STIRLING, on the body of John Poule, a la bwiring man, who was found suffocated,kiing on the top of a brick-kiln, in a labouring field.
