The I/Deward Island packet brings advices from
Trinidad to the 26th March, and from Angostura
to the Sth. It would appear that Bolivar's plan of
attacking Morillo's lines with the army assembled
on the Apure, had been altogether abandoned for
the present. He had left San Fernando on the
20th January, with 1500 men, as it is supposed
with a view to return to New Grenada, either to
make head against La Torre, who was in Cucuta,
or reinforce Santa Ander, who was threatened with
a fora assembled in Papayan, under Caldera, who, it
is said, was advancing on Santa Fe. Bolivar bad
also a force in Pamplona, but it was evident that he
had enough on his hands, and that all his schemes
of freeing the coast of Venezuela must be sacrificed
to other attentions. Mercantile letters from La
Guira, of the 20th March, state, that confidence
was so great there, that immense orders for good
were forwarding to Europe and St. Thomas; as it
was very clear, that although Bolivar had ample
range in the woods and wilds, they apprehended no
danger from him where the population was con-
centrated.—These letters state that Santa was re-
taken in January, but it is mentioned in a vague
manner.

The accounts of the Revolution in Spain bad been
conveyed to Trinidad, by a vessel which left Gibral.
tar on sth February, having on board Quimga's
Proclamations, &c. Soon afterwards the London
Papers to the 14th February arrived there. This
event had excited the most lively interest, and the
result was looked for with great anxiety.

The Paris papers of Tuesday last arrived on Fri- I
day. The Constitattionnel announces that the Queen I
of England has arrived at Macon, the chief town
of the Department of the Soane and Loire. In con-
sequence of all the post-horses having been engaged
for the Duke of Angouleme on his tour, her Ma-
jesty was detained twenty-four hours, but she
resumed her route on Thasalay, the 4th instant, and
was expected to arrive in Paris on Wednesday last,
on her way to Brussels. Gravier, who was arrested
while attempting to set fire to the fusee of a machine,
'Urged with combustibles, under the window of
the Duchess of Berri, who is pregnant, has acknow-
ledged he exploded the first petard. The Minis
terial papers insinuate that some distinguished Libe-
rals suggested and encouraged the plot, but
there appears no foundation for the rumour.—
Three more of his accomplices have been arrested
Gravier, after having been interrogated, was com-
mitted on Sunday night to the Conciergerie. The
Court of Assize of Paris has condemned Charles
Norman to death for the murder of M. Scion, his
master. The Duke of Angouleme, now making a
tour in the sout-east of France, was expected at
Grenoble on the Bth instant, from whence he was
to return to Lyons on the 11th, and thence proceed
to Bourg and Besancon for Strasburg. The debate
on the Customs was resumed in the Chamber of
Deputies on Monday, and adjourned to the next
day.

His Majesty on Friday had his first grand public
dinner party since his accession to the throne.—
Carlton House was splendidly lighted and attended ;
and amongst the company, we learn with pleasure
was the Duke of Sussex. This Royal Duke it is
known, had not till lately been of the Carlton
House parties; but reconciliation has taken place,
and that in consequence of the liberal overtures of
his Majesty, chub% his late indisposition.
