Gen. Bermudez, who commanded a division under Bolivar, perceiving this oversight, marched upon the city with 1,200 men. On. his march he en countered an advanced post of 300 men, whom he repulsed with ease ; and the Governor, who marched out of the city to their assistance at the head of 600 then, was also defeated. He retreated into Caraccas, and summoned the Provisional. Junta, whom he informed that they had nothilg left but to make the best terms they could ivith the enemy. kparley ensued, in whiCh it was demanded of General Bermudez, whether he would adhere to . that article of the treaty of Traxillo, by which the treatment of conquered p:.:fes was regulated, and being answered in the affirmative, they de clared themselves ready to meet them as friends.' Those adherentS of the Spanish Government who considered their. safety to be compromised, fled to La Guayra, the sea-port to Caraccas, where they shipped all the property they could collect on board the ships in the harbour, and sailed for Puerto Cavello. The Governor and all the troops accompanied them.

EItiCLISH OPERA-HOUSE.----Tlie QUEEN visited this Theatre last night. The audience were by no means so numerous as might be expected on such an occasion. God Save the King was sung,with the alternate substitution of" the Queen," in com pliance with the clamour of a part of the audi ence, whose violence' easily obtained a predo minance over those of a more decent description. The same party then raised an uproar on account of the Box in which the QUEEN appeared. This turbulent spirit obliged Mr. BARTLEY to come forward and address the audience. He began with saying, " The box in which the august Personage who has this night honoured the Theatre with her presence —". At this moment burst forth from the party alluded to a cry of " The Queen! the Queen !"—I t might be sup posed that the terms " august Personage" were more 'respectful than the mere designation of Queen, but these silly people were unable to comprehend the distinction. At length, after much tartulence, Mr. BARTLEY obtained a hear ing, when he expressed himself in the following terms.:- , . , " I can assure, the house," said he, " that the expression which fell from me was dictated by the sincerest respect to the individual to whom I alluded, and was used in compliance with an etiquette always observed—( o In the House of Commons,' said several voices from the pit and gallery)—in speaking of royalty from a public stage;—(Applause.)—lndeed, I believe, I may say that it is contrary to all etiquette to speak of any indi vidual by name on the stage of a public theatre..—(Applause.) —The box in which the Queen—(loud cheering and applause) is now sitting, is the box usually assigned to such members of the Royal Family as confer upon the theatre the honour of a visit, and besides is the box selected for her Majesty by her Vice-Chamberlain, so that we had nothing to do but to obey her orders in getting it ready, as you see, for her reception." --This - speech, delivered with modest firmness, at length allayed the storm, and the farces of Bachelors' !rives, Love's Dream, and the new humorous sketch of Tzvo-pence, followed, and passed off with spirit, except that the same party who had disturbed the house before availed themselves of every passage in the farces which could be applied to political - -feelings. The QUEEN left the house.about ten - o'clock. Soon after her departure - Mr. BARTLEY read a paper. importing that the Theatre would be opened gratis to the Public on Thursday, in honour of the Coronation, and stating , the arrangements by which persons desiring admission should . apply , 'for that purpose.

NEW ARGYLE ROOMS.-Madame CATALANI, who has been absent some years from this country, yesterday evening made her first public appearance in London, at a Concert in these Rooms. It was with pleasure we observed, that there was not the slightest falling off in those astonishin g powers of melodious execution, with which she had formerly delighted the polished audiences of the Metropolis. The performances consisted of two acts, and Madame Catalani sung five different pieces, in a most admirable style. Her voice was not only distinguished -for the most impressive clearness and melody, but was occasionally expanded into such an electrifying swell, as nearly to extinguish the sound of the instruments. Her concluding piece was the first verse of " GOD save the King." In the execution of this she was admirable, and was received with thunders of applause. The performance was announced for nine o'clock, and at that hour the Music Hall was crowded with amateurs and persons of fashion. In the Royal box were the Dukes of Clarence and Cambridge, with, we believe, the Duchesses of Kent, Glou cester, Clarence, and the Princess Augusta. The audience were highly dressed, 'a profusion of diamonds was worn, and the whole display was extremely glittering. The Concert began with, a symphony of Mozart. Spagnolette led the or chestra, and Cianchettini sat at the piano -forte. The most striking instrumental piece of the even ing was a duet between the Misses AsHE on the harp and piano -forte, performed in such style of taae, correctness, and expression / as justly ex cited a warm and universal applause. The room was filled in every part with a splendid company, consisting chiefly of females of the first rank and fashion, elegantly dressed.. There were _great nuMbers of foreigns present. - - METROPOLITAN LAM SOCIETY. Yesterday the Anniversary Dinnerin _honour of this .Society took piace at Freemasons Hall, Wax.

PRUSSIA. 13t111.1 . 1N1, JUNE 25".---A conspiracy to introduce the' Spanish Constitution into Prussia has beea discovered: At the head of it stood a Noble.. man in the neighbourhood Of lbatziC, a relation of M. Von Humboldt, the late Minister. A great number of • country people bad - pledged them selves by oath to support him; - his . design•was to take by surprise S'targard, a strong town, where a depot of 'arms belonging to the Landwehr would have furnished the means necessary for such a project. He probably stood in connec tion with some powerful people in Poland, where the Russian Government, is much detested. A short tithe before the conspirators intended t) begin their work,' the plot was discovered, and fourteen mcmbers arrested-. The Government is anxions to prevent any thing trangpir:n; of this accident, which, r although inetfectual, proves enough, that sooner or later, our military despotism must have an end.—The Government plunges itself, from day to day, in greater embarrassment ; for, in spite of all the restrictions, ,the expences are greater than the revenue, because the soldiery swallows up such enormous sums. It is true the King pro mised that our debts should not increase, but this promise is, as you see, not worth more than hl3 former one—to give - us a Constitution. A Loan contracted by the Province of Brandenburg in time of war has thrown the Government into a singular perplexity. The .Ministers have no money to repay the Loan ; they proposed an agreement to the chief Members of the States of this Province, which these Members refuse to enter into without the consent of their colleagues. The Government ought-therefore to assemble the States,. but . the Ministers dare not run such a risk ; they, in consequence, form schemes over and over, to get money, but as it seems without effect. Several people are detained in prison for more than two years, without receiving sentence, which gives you an idea bow justice adminis tercet in this country.--(.Morning Chronicle.).
