lIREJKING OUT OF piusoY.

A G•w evenings since five of the convicts who wire con.
fined in the new Horse of Correction, at Brixton, effected
their escape in • very daring . The prison is not
wholly finished, sad this circumstance inspired some of the
boldest thieves with a hope of being able to break out by
some means or other, and accordingly five of them leagued
together fur this purpose. They kept their desiga a secret
from their fellow-promoters, and the better to disguise their
iiiienttons, seemed very attentive to their employment, and
reserved towards each other. The absence of the workmen
*as agreed on as the sigaki, Ind as soon as they went away
some of the prisoners got k ladder, with w►ich they sealed
the walls, sod got away. It is 'opposed that they crossed
the fields, and entered town by a ciriiiitoos mote; but their
absence and mode of escape being quickly discovered
emissaries were dispatched after them in all darectious, and
two out of the five were shortly afterwards recaptured, and,
to their great chapati, Wird again in their old quarters,
On Sunday lag private information was received that
another of the delinquents, named Harwell, who wits
cast for knits at the last Assizes, was concealed at
a public-house is Blue Anchor-lane, 'Bermondsey; thither
the officers went, and found his as described, disguised in
a countrymau's smock buck. This man being the moat des.
petate of the whole, a violent resistance was anbeipated ;
hut the moment he saw the officers, he told them that he
wait completely dispirited, and although it, look five con-
stable! to apprebead him last lime, yet that he would go
now quietly. He was on Monday conveyed before L. B.
Allan, Esq. at Huion.liall, by whom he was recommitted
to his old station; the others have at present evaded all
h. 'There does nut appear yo be any blame attached to
the keeper of the prison, whole a very careful and active
mat.

Accounts froth Madrid, of the 4th instant, state
positively that the ratification of the Florida Treaty
had left that city by a messenger, who was to take
shipping at Bourdelux.
It was generally -Understood at Cadiz o:i the !O'h
ult. that the armament which had sailed from thence
for South America was destined to reinforce Gene-
ral Moatt.t.o. If so, it is well that the Indepen-
dents had not deferred the negotiations to a later
period.

Dispatches have been received front New Co-
!ambits, by way of No►th America, coutaming de-
tails respecting the operations of the Independents
in September and the beginning of October, in•
which it it acknowledged that the forces under
General BOLIVAR had been so much weakened by
the successes of General Muntl.t.o, that it was
impossible that further attempts against the forces
of the latter should at present be attended with
success. The dispatch from General Bouvaa to
General Moat t.to, requesting r suspension of hos.
tilrtirs, N dated St. Christobel, September 24, MO.
Ile observes in it, that although the large armies
of the Republic are sufficient to occupy the re-
maining part of ♦'enezuela in the hands of the
Royalists, and to extend its dominions to Quito,
yet the great expenses of the war occasion the
country to suffer snore than is necessary ; desirous
therefore to promote the felicity of the people,
even at the cost of the Republic, and not being
ahle at present to treat fur their independence, he
would make propositions at his head-quarters. at
St. Fernando de Apure, where lie should be on the
2.01 of October, but that the war should continue
in the mean time. General Moatt.i.o, in conse-
quence of the receipt of -this dispatch, collected
all the t r sops he was able, and calculated ou meet-
ing BOI.IVAR before that period, and totally defeat-
ing his army.
The following is the latest netts received from
the Spanish Main ; it seems that General ►loatt.r.o
is nuking great exertions to render his force for-
midable, ire order that he may hr enabled to make
advantageous terms with the. Independents in the
itegociations at St. Fernando de Apure :

were 245 members entitled to at ttttt itie.. which

Mr. HART, Connie! for the Plaiotiff, stated. that
he had to request of his Lordship that he would
alter the minutes of his order whirl' l►e had ►nade
a few days back, directing, the Solicitors to go be.
fore the Master to pas* the accounts of their re-
spective clients die in diem, as he was sure it was
not the intention of his Lordship that the Solicitors
should he paid only for one attendance, although
they were in attriohnice the whole of the da'y ; it
had, however, crept ioto the minutes of his order.

_ .
The Loafs CtltaNcEt.t.ott--" Let the Master
certify what will lie the proper charge to be allowed
to the Solicitors for their attendance before him."
Mr. Mato, Counsel for the Defendant, said,
that when his Lordship had mule the order, he ob.
served that he had understood it was not the fault
of Mr. Taylor that the Master's clerk was not al-
lowed to go on with taking the account, but that
it was the fault of his Solicitor; that Gentleman
was not in Court when his Lordship made the ob-
servation, but the moment he was apprised of it he
came to him (Mr. Heald), and put into his hands
the letter of Mr. Taylor, peremptorily desiring that
he should not attend the Master's clerk. The Soli-
citor (Mr. Tarrant) certainly felt hurt that his
Lordship could be led to suppose that he, as an
officer of the Court, would be guilty of any thing
that would call for the displeasure of the Court.—
He nieutioned this in justice to Mr. Tarrant ; for if
it were supposed by the public that he had fallen
under the displeasure of his Lordship, it might be
most injurious to him its his profession.
The Loan CH•MeRII.OII—" The order I' have
now made must he satisfactory to all parties. 1
can sorry that any thing which might have fallen
from me in nay judicial capacity should have had
the tendency to Mart the feelings of Mr. Terrors',
or any other person. I ought, perhaps, iu justice
to that Gentleman to say, that he does not deserve
the censure which might be implied from what I
slid say on that occasion."
