It is impossible Nir 'us to turn our attention to liny subject at present bilt. 'that melancholy Event *Web has spread anxiety over the Nation. Ne ver, we believe, were the public feelings so strongly agitated on any occasion as by that sud den stroke of calamity which has deprived the Empire of one of the brightest ornaments by which lever was adorned.—lndeed, it was hardly possi- Ae ot t first, to believe that so deplorable a disaster had 'really taken place, and inquiry rather than belief operated upon the minds of the Public till [he dreadful confirmation of the truth became uni- versaliy known. It affords us some consolation, or we cannot use airy term ekpressive 'of pleasure, 0 find that tht Public Prints, of all parties and de- scriptions, unite in a general expression of sorrow qu this lamentable And unexpected disappointment of the national hopes. We shall therefore avail 4urseives of the CollteiltS of all ®f them, as we feel tuo much ourselves to be able to dilate on so Painful, and so distressing a subject. Ile feelings of due PLINGE REGENT and PRINCE LEOPOLD can be leithet described nor imagined. The shock to but!► must exceed all possible estimate, even by those tvl►o, in private life, have suffered under de- privations of tire same lamentable nature, for they are not actuated by those feelings, and a .sense of those duties, which involve the interests of an Empire. From all we have heard the PRINCE' REGENT, amidst his Billie- tions, bears ►tp with a degree of solemn firm ness wlicit excites a stronger feeling of sync pathy among, beholders, than perhaps would ac, company the more violent effusions of grief. As to Prince LEOPOLD, if it were possible that the esteem and respect of the people could be in creased by a character so amiable, so unassuming, and so affectionate, he would be rendered still more estimable to them by the deep and inconsolable. misery which seems entirely to have absorbed his mind on so unexpected and so heavy a calm forbear at present to insert any thing of a light description, however it alight tend to re lieve the feelings of the People, conceiving as we do that a loss so recent and so afflictive must induce the public mind to revolt from any thing incon sistent with moral sympathy, and pious submis gion to the will of an over-ruling Providence. We have received the following Letter from our Correspondent : " CLAREMONT, Friday Morning, 10 o' Clock. ‘‘ Never was true and sincere grief so seriously manifested as it is for the loss of our amiable PRIN CB6S, extending to all ranks and degrees, and not only are persot.s mourning, but it extends to places and things. The preparations for illumi nations last night, at Esher, and the surround ing country, were reversed, the houses were closed, and scarcely a lamp to be seen The in habitants of Kingston were so eager to be fotemost in their rejoicing, that they commenced at a late hour on Wednesday night, occasioned by a-Post-bciy riding through the town from. Clare mont to London express, who, in answering the anxiety of the enquirers, announced that a Prince was born ; the rejoicings immediately commenced. The inhabitants, however, highly to their credit, sheaved their respect in the re verse way yesterday, by closing their houses be tween 9 and 10 o'clock in the morning, on the MA?ea sending round to inform them of the dis mal tidings, and requesting them to close their ihops 'and houses, with which they instantly coln is to be a State Funeral." We wish to correct a statement of yesterday. Sir R. CROFT never quitted her ItovaL HIGHNESS from the commencement of her illness, and the Aber two Medical Attendants were in the next room (luting the whole time, and were present rum the moment of her attack till its fatal termi nation. At a late hour t , :cetvcd the Paris PaPers `C)f last. The follswitt kre ex- rac!s : " PAuts; Nov. 4.—The Duke d'.Anguule►ne arrived at Sai►►t Maio the sOtl► ult. set out the 31st fur Rennes. " The nuut►er of miltry divisisins of the hingilom has been reduced to 21, by the union of the 4th (Naric) with the 3d (Metz). The 22d (Tours) becomes the 4th. The .‘_';3{l (Corsica) will be called 'the 17th. This number, which on the first organization was given to the division of which Paris was the chief place, has remait4d vacant since the moment when Holland ceased to be united to France. " The Prince de Talleyrand, Grand Chnieberinin, has re- sumed his functions. " CUAMBLR OF DEPUTIES. " Tb4.t Deputies assembled yesterd4y, at two o'clOA, in the ordinary place of their sittings, under the Presidency of M. Angles, senior, tbe oldest Deputy. A letter was read from the Grand Master'of the Ceremonies, inviting the Deputies to assist this day at the celebration of Mass at Notre Dame, and a Deputation of twenty-five Members was appointed to attend his Majesty at the opening of the Session to-morrow. " The 31st ult., at twti in the afternoon, a 6ro broke out at Valenciennes, in some buildings employed for the use of the Allied troops, which were entirely destroyed; some ad joining houses were slightly dainaged. " The Russian Senator Kouschriekoff, Privy Conncillor of the Emperor of Russia, has arrived at Paris, 'from Peters burgh, with all his family. " FRENCH FIVE PER CENTS.

" Lutec, is said, that a new Treaty of Com merce will 4e concluded between England and Sweden. BRUSSELS, OCT. al.—Our squadron, which, by the last accounts, was at Leghorn, was to sail iu a short time fur Algiers. " CADrz, Oc r. 12.—The ship of the line Asia, and two large frigates, are 'fitting with all expedition. These ships, with two frigates, equipping at Carthagena, will form with the Russian squadron a fleet destined to act against the independents of South America, and rid the seas of their privateers. 6 ' PE,TEnsuunen, Sur. 27.—The Russian Atnkssador in Persia had his first audience of the Scha,h on the 31st July, and was received with the greatest ,distinction." Tuc FUNDS.—Contols this morning were rather butter. They commenced at 83i, but in a short time they rose to S3iit for the Account, with many buyers at the latter price. The Commissioner% to-day gave 83it Money, and were again obliged to buy 145,0001. Consols, from the scarcity of Re duced Stock ; they were served generally by the Jobbers. The quantity of Stock they purchased yesterday was 160,000/. instead of 100,0001. as stated by mistake. Their daily purchases Will in futtn e be 145,0001. We give in another column Letters to the Nth August from Trinidad, rclatipg to the Spanish Main, written by a British Merchant, which fur nish some interesting details. Letters, dated the middle of August, from Buenos• Ayres, and received by an arrival at a French port, state, that the Portuguese had evacuated Monte video. Accounts had been received from Chili, announcing that the Royalist garrison stationed in Talcaguano, a southern point in Chili, and the only one in that Country held by the Spaniards, had sent proposals of capitulation to General SAN, MARTIN. The Buenos Avres privateers,called the Chacabuco and San Martin, had made 12 valuable prizes off Cadiz, which had arrived safe. By recent accounts received from Cadiz, it ap pears certain that General LAcY was shot by or ders of the Spanish Government, as soon as he landed on the island of Majorca, and that he died in a most heroic manner. General MILANS em barked-on the coast, and, it is said, arrived at Gibraltar, where the Governor refuse,d him per mission to land. In this dilemma he got on board an American vessel, and it is understood he has proceeded to the United States. The Royal Spa nish Navy, which, in 1796, amounted to 7 . 2 sail of the line, and at the Peace of Amiens to 64, is now reduced to 20, and of these the only one in commission. is the Asia, a 64, now at Cadiz. This fact appears from the laSt Navy List. Ac cording to the new regulation, the Spanish Army is in future to consist of 50,000 infantry, and 10,000 cavalry and artillery. No annual salary is to exceed 40,000 rials, or 4001. sterling ; Marshal in the Army has no more. The Army under Count ABISBAL, was removed from the An dalusian ProvinUes, because they were not only exhausted, but, it is said, also disaffected, and consequently were considered as a dangerous re sidence for troops, who were*besides badly paid. The Independent privateers still stand into the very harbour of Cadiz, and brave the guard-ships. Captain ALMEIDA, commanding a large Buenos Ayres privateer, had written several letters to the Governor, telling hint, that lie had understood that the prisoners taken by the Spaniards, and sent to Cuba and other places, were cruelly treat ed, adding, that if some new pl,iu was not adopt ed in this particulcry, he and his comrades would inflict heavy retaliation. The ship Grace, on board of which are a num ber of, officers on the half-pay of the British army arrived on Thursday in the Downs from the river destined, it is said, for South America ; the offs• cers being engaged in the service of the Spanish Insurgents. SECO:s D SUN-OFFleg, two o'CLocK. tire hive thoug Itt it our doti to collect all the motirt;' ,. n . l ci • rcu►t:st . anccs attending the event tvfilcb . . has excited let:finks so honourable to the pec>ple &t am: 5o well merited by the exalted character of the departea PRI NcEss, aril thi following are uthentic idditions , , • • • The PriNes REGENT, notvithstancling his own nfiliction as a ratiier, reit a sense of sympathy for !rinee LEOPOLD that induced his Royal ilighness inmediately to inthe hiin to leave the dread 'La scene of his distress, and take hi's abode Carlton House. We have reason to believe, however . , that Prince LEOPOLD has declined this act of RoYal and affecting courtesy, and can not be weaned from a spot to which so melan choly an interest is a't'tached, though so agonizing to his f : .:elings, till the remains of the beloved objecCare finally removed. Lord LIVERPOOL came to town this morning. Lord CASTLEREAGH had net arrived, but Mr. I. ) LANTA bas reached town, and was immediately to be followed by his Lordship.' The Ceremonies attending the Royal Interment are to be exactly conformable to the precedent on the Funeral of the last Princess AMELIA, al- lowing for the difference in the rank of the re spective parties, as the Princess AMELIA, though the Daughter-of his Majesty, was not presumptive eFreils Lu the throne. The (lily of interment is not fixed, bnt it ‘vill lobably take place in about a week fi'oin this tinier perhaps on 'to-morrow sennight, and pro bably not later than Monday. To accord, however, with the national feelings, and to testify as early as possible a due sense of respect for the departed t'ft:NCESS, the General Mourning, we understand,' is positively fixed to Like place on SUNDAY NEXT. The Remains cf the PRINCESS will be convey ed to 'Windsor. His Royal Highness the Doke of Yoam has with his characteristic affection for every brand] of the Royal Family, shewn the deepest sympathy and affliction on this truly distressful occaiTion. Lord SIDMoUTH was in town very early this morning, to meet the Etrl of LIVERPOOL, who had travelled all night, We do not understand that a Cabinet Counc is to be held this day, and the surprize, coaster• nation and grief, of all the Members of Governmea must, of course, disqualify them for a due conside. ration of what measures should be adopted, On so unexpected and so afflictive a loss to the Empire. THE St•IIELJJ COLLIERS. We regret to learn, by advices received yester day front South Shields, t hat toe seamen generally employed on board the ships in the coal trade have again intimated their intention rof quitting their employ, unless an advance of wages shall be agreed to on toe part of the shipowners. On Monday morning it was first ohserred that two placards in writing were posted up in various parts of North and South Shields; one of them was fur the purpose of calling meetings of seamen, both on the north and south sides of O, water on that day. Mr. Fairless, an active Magistrate, on the south side, thalitig that Wade 100 men had asembled in the Market place, aud were consulting together, sent to requeSt an inter view with the leaders : no one presented himself ; but the Magistrate received a copy of a petition, or rather a remon strance, addressed to the ship-owners. In this were repre sented all the seamen's grievances : they urged the impos sibility of their being enabled to support their families on the small wages at present allowed them by their employers, and stated that they could not do with less than five pounds a voyage for their support. They were desirous of im pressing on the minds of the ship-owners that they had patiently waited, as advised, a considerable time, in the hope that the ship-owners, Cc. would have seen the ne cessity of advancing their wages, and would 'of their own accord have conic forward to save their families front starving ; but as they had not dune so, and as their wives and children had reached almost the last stage of misery, it would appear that they hadatot their interest and wel fare at heart, and this consideration had compelled the retnonstrants to resolve on the step they had now taken, of assembling together to petition their employers to take the situation of themselves and families into consideration, in or der to allow them such meatus of support as would keep them from abject' poverty and wretchedness. Mr. Fairless at length succeeded in procuring to be brought before him two persons immediately connected with drawing up these papers, and cautioned them against proceeding with the meetings for, the purposes they had in view : he then swore in a outliner of the respectable inhabitants as special consta bles, hail the leaders pointed out to them, giving orders that, in case they were seen officiating at any wetting, they shon!d be taken into custody, and he would deal with them as the law directed. NVhat occurred on the north side we have vet to learn, but nothing of a riotous nature had manifested itself on the south side in the course of Monday, except the simple meeting could be decreed so. Meanwhile the men express their determiratioo not to go to sea, and entice of their proceedings was given to the Secretary of State's Office yesterday. CORN-EXCHANGE, Nov. 7.—We bare 6 (4 but few fresh Arrivals since Monday, and fine ‘ sam ples, both in Wheat and Oats, sold at Monday's prices, but ordinary was very,dirll ; fine Barley supports its price ; in Pease, Beans, and other .kinds of Grain, there is no alteration. t'EN EZ UJ . • _ POItT SPAI7:, Alta. 4a.----My letters by the ship Prince of" Wales woala inform you of the total reductiinu if the fine aria vinee of Guaestart, The Patriatic Army took possesiion , s the town of Air-us - aim ah the 17th Jul , and of the fortresses, • . . • or Old Guayana, 1,1) the ad August. A part of the sillpping, say nine or , ten vessels,, with the remains of the garrison, has t; arrived at Grenada ; but I suspect that between death and de sertion there remained few to embark. Brigadier-General Latorre and Governor Fitzgerald are said to be of the number k at Grenada. The vessel i» which the Bishop embarked was stranded ia one of the creeks, and some launches proceeded • t front this, two days ago, to endeavour to bring him off; for where,he is he roll!, great risk, I understand, of being starved or drowned. It is very probable he will have been picked up by the Patriots. As, yet it is trot ascertained what number cf vessels Brion shall have takes), as trot bing has arrived _from a thence but a small skiff just on the surrender; anti as she came through the creeks, could know little of what was pass ing.on the River. But a great number of-craft has sailed from this, and I hope our trade will feel the good effects shortly.. a , Five bulletins have arrived from Margarita, of the- opera- tioni ofahe.Patriotie Army under the command of the (laver mar, Brigadier-General Francisco Gomez, a native of that Island. On the 14th of July Genera! Murillo presented him- self before.the port of Guaarache, with twenty-two sail of ves sels, and effected his landing with. 2500 men, composed of the troops lie had lately received from Spain, and tnose drawn from the neighbouring garrisons. On the 84th the Pa triots having abandoned the town of Pampatar to con centrate themselves towards the north part of the island, the Spanish trool s occupied the town amid neighbouring • heights. It is to be observed, that this part of the country r , is so a barren, that there is, not :in atom of provisions o f any sort to he found in it, and , of course was not tenable by She Patriots, who aubsiat an their own supplier. 'lite : garitaneana having a great many points to defend, and the Spaniards having the command at sea, the latter conld always 'l' attack with great superiarity of numbers any particular point; but the farmer sire all rifle-men, and know every a inch of the country. On the a ist, General Morillo in per- son, at the head of Intro of his best troops, attacked the city, v covered and defended by three hundred infantry, and about a as many cavalry. This city was destroyed by the Spaniards when General Arismendi expelled them the island, and is now an open ruined place, so that the action was in the open Country, between the covering army and Mo rillo's troops. General Gomez commanded in person in '.. the foremost ranks. The action commencedvat ten A. M. : and lasted till six e. m. when victory declared for the In dependents, and Marino, under cover of the night, retreated upon Pampatar, with the loss of about 600 men killed and wounded. Having got a reinforcement of 400 from Barc e l o na, • he presented himself by sea and land before thetown ofJuan Griego on the Bth August, and on the 9th attacked it with 2,000 men. The defence for a long time depended on a battery, thrown up in a hurry, and mounted with 5 guns, and defend ed by 130 men. This caused prodigious slaughter among the enemy, but before the reinforcement under General Gomez came up, the battery accidentally blew' up, and the enemy g 4 possession of the town. The action was, however, maintauted with great bravery by the Nlargaritatreans, with General Go mez at their head; and Morino, having lost a great number' of men, and finding- he could nut stir an inch out of the town, abandoned it on the 11th. On the lath General Gomez w to a friend Lere, that he had just learned from the deserters that Murillo seas evacuatiok Paturatar. The loss of the Spa niards is estimated at 'loan killed and wounded ; the Marga ritaueans admit a loss of 40, chiefly in the exposion of the, battery. You will hare seen Niorilla's Proclamation, threatening to exterminate the Marearitaneaes with their families, as well as his SIMI mons to Gomer, and the latter's answer, which breathes all the noble firmness of the leader and his heroic count rymen.—lt appears, by a letter from Margarita, that the Proclamation was acted upon. It says—. The Spaniards " put some women and children to death in the valley of Espiritu Santo, and in tine town of jinni Griego. In the " aortner a they cut off a child's.frands, aid sent him in this " state to the city, no doubt believing it would terrify the " Margaritaneans ; but this operation caused a different. " effect, for it irritated them the more, and they then put " colonel Lejano, and the other prisoners tbey bad hitherto " preserved, to death." Ann osa 24.—Since writing the foregaing, a boat, sent by General Bolivar to COUJI11111111_,,:e to the Government of Mar garita the fatal redaCtion of Guayana, has called in Inert-, and bringa‘ a conarination of tine COW! iste evacuat ham. tel and all the island of Margarita, by the Spawards. Mos Hilo set off with hat vessels ;lad troops dawn the coast, it is supposed far La Guayra. It is said Canvas is menaced by an invading army from the interior.

The small garrison defending the church, cam-erred jinn a block-house, were, in iuritdtion of the: Spaniards at Barcelona . , lint to a e A few days after, Marino was attacked by a detachment from Curnana, which he repulsed ; but counting on a co-uperatain from Guiria, which did no: take place, and having lost COO killed and wounded out of nano, he did not like to expose himself to an attack from Ma rgit.> (wino might beat up his quarters in twelve hours frail, Margarita), and therefore returned to his former position at Rana-Wawa. In the Mean time General Piar arrives! at Ma turin, with a reinforcement from Guayana, to take, it is said, the command, and Marino was to go to Guiria to act in con junction. Piar is the patriotic " Enfant gate the la Victoire." He destroyed Monteverde's army in the Plains of Maturity, Morales in the Battle of the 'roma% Fitzgerrald in Upper Guayana, and Cernti at Banco San Felix, also in Guayana, which last secured the coaquesi of this impartant province. Piar has the character of a strict disciplinarian, and is very much beloved by his troops. That these are susceptible of • M Gregor's memorable expedition from the Cho roni to Barcelona is strong evidence, and it is asserted that the greatest order has been observed at Guayana. It is a pity that the Spanish pride and policy, by refusing all exchange of prisoners, and putting those they take tw death, shauld , force the Independents so frequently to retaliate. Had ale,- exchanged Colonel Lujano for General Ft cites, two va luable lives would have been preserved ; but he preferred shooting time other to saving Ins countryman and brother officer. He will, I hare little doubt, soon experience the e ff e ct o f his system ill New Grenada, many provinces of which are represented to be in a state of open revolt against their oppressors. In fact, the Spanish Government may nowatdopt what maxims it likes, for all confidence is destroyed between Spain and America; and the Inquisition has lust all it charms for the South Americans! I find M'Gregor has taken possession of Amelia Island, and was preparing, to altacli S:t. Augustine. He is the popular Saint of Venezuela at present, instead of St. dames. He has fought their battles like a hero, and preserved the honour of his country by the most disinterested conduct. Where he was there was no plunde: ing, and those who served under him admire his discipline. SHIP NEWS.
