° MARGARET-I'A, I)ec. in.—The accounts from the
Main become every day more interestiug, and confirm
tile hope of a speedy termination to the war favourable
•to the independence of Columbia. We have had lately
desp..tches from Col. Mottz, military commandant in
the East, which lead us to expect that, ere long, the
entire province of Cumana will be in our possession.—
Gutman°, Cumanacoa, and Catiaco, are all held by
the patriots. On the 9th eighty prisoners arrived from
the former place, twelye European officers also. All are
marched to Norte to this evening; how they are to he
• disposed of I know not. I'r'e know full well, was the
Case reversed, how our friends wmi id fire in the handi of
the Spaniards. Supplies of arms and ammunition have
been despatched :o General Bermudez, who commands
the army of the East: the occupation of the places I have
named, and desertion, have materially added to his force.
As soon as they reach him, he will proceed to Caraccas,
while Generals Bolivar and Matz advance from the
West and :40oth. By a Fire bound from La Guira to
St. Thomas's, we learn that Morillo has drained the
fortress as well as the capital of every man he could take
away. In La Guira he had left scarcely a garrison—the
capital was nearly deserie.l.
" The election of five members, to represent this
island at the general congress of Cotimi!na at Cucuta is
over: Gen. iMarino and Mac Greaor have been elected
as two of them."

PARIS, J.N. 45.—Letters from Vienna of the
13th say that the King of Prussia has nut been able
to undertake the journey to Laybach, on account of
a slight indisposition, but that his arrival at the
Congress will be delayed only a few days.
Ps am, JAN. 27.—His Majesty heard mass in his
apartments. He afterwards gave a private audience
to the Bishop of Soissons and M. le Comte Parton-
neaux, Comtnander of the let division of the Royal
Guard.
The Duke de Richelieu waited upon the King at
eleven o'clock.

At three quarters of an hour past four o'clock this
day, a very loud explosion was heard in the Chateau
des Tuileries. It was immediately discovered to
have proceeded from a small barrel of gunpowder
which had been placed behind a wooden box upon
the landing place of one of the staircases of the
chateau. Several doors and many squares of glass
were broken. The Prefect de Police, the Frocureur
General, and the Premier Avocat General, the
King's Procureur General and his Deputy, repaired
immediately to the spot, and began their examina-
tions in order to discover the au:hors of this daring
attempt.
On Thursday, at ten o'clock at night, at the mo-
ment when the carriage of his Royal Highness the
Duke d'Angouleme, in which he was returning
from Compiegne, had turned out of the rue de
Richelieu, and was entering that of St. Honore, a
petard exploded at a small distance from his Royal
Highness's carriage. Fortunately it struck no one,
but the report was so loud that many persons quitted
their shops to enquire the cause of it. It could not
be discovered from whence the petard had been
thrown

Advices from Vienna of the 15th state—" We
are assured that Lord Stewart has presented a note
to Prince Nletternich and Count Capo d'lstra of the
highest importance. The Ambassador has received
distinguished marks of the approbation of his Court,
which formally contradicted the reports respecting
:lint that were in circulation.

Some Neapolitan journals have published an ex-
tract of a letter from M. de Gallo, written from
Florence the 25th December, in which he says, that
as far as he can at present form an opinion, there is
reason to believe that the Sovereigns will, in the
affairs of Naples, employ means of conciliation in
preference to violent measures. He adds, that the
Austrian army is very considerable, and strengthened
with an immense artillery.°
NAPLES, JAN. 9.—We 'nave already made known
the encouragement which we have received from

various part.:: of Europe, either by political writings,
or by plans of campaigns for the defence of our ter-
ritory. Offers of another description have been
made to us from England.
A private individual of that kingdom, Mr. Davin,
has written, mentioning that he is ready to furnish
at a reasonable price, and payable in two years,
seven vessels of war, provided with necessaries
and munitions, and ready to receive men and
provisions.
Another Englishman, Lieutenant-Colonel ltyves,
Assistant Quarter Nla,tur General, offers to raise
ai:d bring to Nap!c.: la.fsire three months, a corps of
auxiliary English troops, composed of three squad-
rools of hussars, two companies of horse artillery,

ten companies of infantry, and six companies of foot
chasseurs—in all 2,000 men, equipped and armed,
and ready to engage for three years, or longer, if
required. who will be selected from the soldiers dis..
charged at the time of the peace. We du not
know whether our Government will accept, of these
offers.

Prince Regent, were celebrated by a festival. All
the Neapolitans took part in it most enthusiastically.
In the afternoon a deputation of the Parliament
waited upon his Royal Highness with the wishes of
the National Representatives.
M. Ascovita presented, for the Royal sanction, the
project of law abolishing feudality. The Prince
said. in reply, that fie would hasten to sanction it.

VIENNA, JAN. appears that the stay of
the Emperor and Empress at Laybach will be of
long duration, since their suite has latterly been
considerably angmented; and that many persona
have received orders to join them at Laybach .--.•
Others expect to receive similar orders.
The two French Ministers who were at Troppan
are now at Laybach. M. Gentz has been tin- some
