GAS LAMPS.

• Of all the Manumissions exhibited, last night, in
the neighbourhood of St. James's, none seemed to
excite such general curiosity amongst the public, as
the newly-invested Gas Lamps, which it had beers
intimated were to be displayed at the back of
Carleton-house. No somc: were they lighted.
than crowds, of all descriptions, assembled nowt
every qturter to witteess their brilliancy.—
The common entrarces to the Park were as usual
shut at nine o'clock, so that no other access re-
mained. except through tae Palace, which occa-
sioeed the utmost bustle and contusion, owing to
the narrowness of the passage ; this continued till
a very late hour. The experiment of the gas lights
tweeted to afford general satistaainn, and every one
appeared cousin. ed of the probability of their be-
coming of great public mail'. They were placed
in various forms, at equal distances. along the
back wall of Carleton Garden, and enlightened the
whole space of the walk. in the Park, as much as the
sun at tmd•Jay ; most of the lights were sutrounded
with gla,s taxers some of which had retlet9ors and
otheis mot, but those which had no covering at all.
ectatooned the most astonishing eff-ft. At cam
glaze, a beautiful illumination exhibited a long poe-
tical ettlegium upon His `IAJYsTC, and at another
was displayed His Royal Highness the Ps ivot's
Fosabers, hrilltandy Blum dated with : gh•,,

Accounts from Dentzic state, that an attempt to
relieve the garrison there has failed, and that the
Russians suffered considerably ;n the affair ; but
w•e have not yet learned the particulars; the gatti-
son is said to be iu the greatest went of amunition.

A letter from Dantzic, of the 13th May, states,
that 11,000 Russians 11.141 (tidied a landing on
the Nehrung, in order to throw themselves in-
to the town; but thtt as tha French, who

sians would succeed in their attempt.—(Copoolagan

We received, yesterday, a parcel of Paris Pa-
pers, of various dates, up to the 24th last. We
have made a few extras from them, but they con-
ies:l of any importance. Letters have been
also received from Holland to the SOth; but they
also are destitute of interest, being totally silei.t
with rasp," to the theatre of war.

The private letters, broaght from Monte Video,
by the /),00,erip, express the most petit& confidence in
the success of any attack which may be made upon

Buenos Ares. The regular force colleted mere,
was not above fifteen hundred or two thousand men,
and these were of the very worst composition of
colonial troops. The armed inhabitants were with-
out dissipl.ne or. concert, split into fadior:, and
wavering between resistance and submission, in case
of an attack. This spirit had reached such a
height as us have encouraged the British Com-
mander to send a flag of truce, to ascertain the terms
ou which the lowa would be willing to treat. The
answer returned, is said to nave been unfavourable.

Every preparaiinn for an attack on Buenos Ayres
•
was made, and General Aucurerr r only awaited the
•
arrival of Bi igatlin.Genet C RAUrtiaD. General
WHITSLOCICs will probably arrive about the same
time.

Accounts from General AucithlSlTY stair. that he
had occupied the town of St Lucia, from which
the forces cour.tanded by the Viceroy had been
driven. General Ltt•teas has apprehended the
Viceroy of the Plata. and sent him a prisoner of
state into the interior._

A report of a very disagreeable nature, respecting
the ()raid frigate. prevailed in the beginning of the
week olt Plymouth, said to have been brought there
by one of the lately-detained vessels from the coast
of Ireland. Urn reference to the Cork paper, of
the 27th last, we find that the Druid had arrived at
Cove on the preceding slay. Nothing but a convic-
tion of the t,uth of the report could itultice us to
mention the particulars I and had it been founded
in fat% we think it must have been known at Cork.
We understand it to be finally settled that 24.
