MONDAY, AUGUST 16.

Letters from Trinidad dated the 19th of June
have been received, but they contain nothing new
respocting the operations of the armies of the Main ;
They give some details of the defeat by Santander
of the Spanish division coming from Santa Fe to
join Morino, the official report of which had pre-
viously reached us by the packet. This successful
attack by the Patriots, together with the approach
of.the rainy seasons, when his position on the island'
of Achaguas would be no longer tenable, had com-
pelled Morino to retire on San Carlos, and towards
Valencia and Caracas, his rear being pressed by
Paez. General Bolivar, it appears, had gone in the
direction of Varinas, no doubt to watch the move-
ments of La Torre. General Santander had pro-
()cella towards Tunja, where the inhabitants had
collected a considerable sum in specie, possibly to be
given in payment for those supplies which the An-
gostura Government had furnished towards the
li-
beration of'New Granada.

A Mail from Flanders has just arrima bringing
papers to a late date. The following are extracts :

Vie destructive force of the flames, that nothing. but
tie extraordinary and unprecedented exertions of
tie neighbouring tenantry, made at the imminent
risk of their lives, could have saved the whole of the
splendid mansion front falling a prey to the fury of
the devouring element. From what cause the fire
originated is at present unknown ; but from the

among all ranks, there is .not even the slightest
ground fin- surmise that an event which is so de ply
deplored by the whole neighbourhood could have

THE NATIONAL REGIsTER:-

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT ST. JOHN'S,
NEWFOUNDLAND.
_ _

(From the Arcirfouxiikaii Gazette of July to.)
Another extensive and distressing (ire has befallen
this unfortunate town, and lett us the painful duty
of recording, as far as we have been able to collect,
or had an opportunity of witnessing. its destructive
ravages. It was first discovered abuut one o'clock
yesterday morning, in or about a house lately occu-
pied by 'Mr. George Gerlend, but which has been*
vacant during the last month, and adjaining the
dwelling-house of Mr. Thos. Williams. The alarm
wasinuneiliately given,. but before any number of,
people bad arrived at the spot the whole building
was in a blaze, The wind was westerly, and blow-•
ing very fresh, which carried the flames to the
houses on the opposite aisle of the lane, and from
thence easterly with increased fury. Mr. Williams's
house caught soon after, and communicated the fire
to the dwelling-house and shop of Thomas Meagher,
Sons, and Co. and from thence to the residence of
Dr. Duggau, on the opposite side. of the street,
which, with the houses adjoining.to the westward,
as far as Codncr and Tracey's, were laid in ashr.
Here, however, the only engine in repair belonging
to the town was stationed, and by the judicious ma-
nagement of the people in removing a garden forge
on the upper side, and a fence which enclosed Cod.
ner and Tracey 's yard on the lower side, a break
was made, and the strenuous exertions which were
used prevented the fire front extending any fertl.er
in that direction. In the mean time the devour:ng
element pursued its.resistless course to the eastward
with lightning-like rapidity. The ordnance engines
arrived at an early hour with the military from the
garrisms, but the ofliacrs in command, finding their
utmost exertions would be ineffectual further up the
town; made a team' at the bresdeon the eastern side
of Mrs. Elliott's, where they were soon joined by a
few active individuals of the town, and the troopi
which arrived last Fri:lay in the transport from Ha-
who immediately came ashore under the direc-
tion of Captain Harker, of the 15th. The united
and persevering exertions of this party with great
difficulty arrested the progress of the flames at this
piece, and preserved those new buildiags recently
erected to the eastward, althotigh Mr. llenoul's
house was several times on fire. Those who were
employed in directing the pipes of the engines with-
good the intense heat and sufficating smoke in a
manner to excite the admiration of every one who
witnessed it. The brands of fire flew through the
air to a great distance, some of which, falling on
the stores of .1. F. rimingham &Co , and Parker,
Cheever,. and. Co., set them in a blaze, but was
dis...overed in time to prevent any material injury.
The feuce in front of the Roman Catholic chapel was
partly burnt down, and the Bishop's house and the
chapel were in considerable danger, though eventu-
ally no damage was-dune to either. By five o'clock
the fire had pretty wall spent its fury. and we were
left to contemplate the havoc which in four shat
hours had been made.

On going over the ruins we found 98 chimnies
standing, besides several that had fallen down ; from
which-cireutuotance we have not the least doubt but
the houses destroyed were occupied by at least 1,500
inhabitants, and the loss of proper y, we think, upon.
the lowest calculation, may be estimated at about
150,0001. Those in the immediate neighbourhood
had scarcely time to escape with their lives; many
more saved but very little; while very few, we be-
lieve, succeeded in reselling more than one half of
their effects from the flaines. The distress occasioned
by this fire is calculated to be more general than
either of the former,. notwithstanding the loss of
property is touch less.

The Coburg Brighton coach, rn its wgy- to town,
was overturned at Cud:field on Mone...y afternoon.
The accident occurred immediately after fresh horses
had been put to the couch. The leaders, as fre-
quently happens, were unruly set starting, and, in
spite of every effort to restrain them, brought the
coach into sudden contact with a waggon, which was
passing at the time, and the .whole was precipitated
to the ground. The consequences were most ter-
rible. Of eleven passengers who occupied the roof,
scarcely one escaped unhurt. One gentleman died
shortly after from the injuries received by the fill,
and ;mother had his arts fractured at the shoulder-
joint in sit severe a manner us to render his recovery
doubtful. Five others were detained at Cucklield,
unable to proceed to town on account of the hurts
they had sustained. The coach had three inside
pl:ssengers at the. time, who fortuaately escaped
without injury.

Another aeci.lent of the same kind happened at
St. Alban's on Sunday last, when the Manchester
Telegrah, oa its way from London, W. :IF upset, and
some of the pas.sen!,ers severely hurt. The coach-
man was so severely 'r iced about the head, that
till Ittesd.iy night he could not speak ; one passen-
ger Lad his mil:le-bone broken, ;vitt another his
arta.; the body et the coach was dashel to pieces..

' Advices from Delia., Ray of HUOlkaral/4. wen
received on Friday, to the 2:ith ofJohe. Numerous
vessels were waiting for cargoes, detained beyond
the usual period by the backwardness of the rainy
,season, and the consequent want of water in the
rivers to convey the logwoutl, mahogany, And other
produce, to the coast. It appears that in the last
week of May, Commodore Amy, with a squadron'of
f►ve privateers, had obtained the complete coinamod,. '
of the Gulph of Du/se, mid was carrying on a system
' of plunder of the moat formidable description.—
. Among other places tit' which he gained possession,
the funs of St. l'hillip and Isabel are mentio►►ed : slier
completely exhausting those places of the valuable
,property they contained, he abandoned thetn,liaving
retained them only two days.. The booty collect's!
►within this short space of time,. and without the
hni of a single man, consisted• of -1,50(► serous of
indigo, amid 300,000 dollar:via ,specie. Commodore
Aury afterwards retired to the Triangles to victual •
and water, where he remained at the date of the
advice' from 13elim

Fzcculiuorof Weems. This unfbrtnnctencriminal,
whose trial for the murder of his wife wai report -d
in our paper last week, was executed on /Friday the
6th inst, u fiw minutes past twelve o'clock, over the
gateway at the county giwl of Cambriage, in the
presence of a vast number of spectators. His beha-
viour after condemnation was consistent with nis
awful situation, mid he met his.4;nominious fate
with firmness. His crime, as our readers may re-
member, was attended with eirtmiustancesof peen-
liar atrocity, having murdered his -wife in. themost
deliberate manner, in order. to marry a female to
whom•he was paying his addresses-as a single man.
The body, after having been suspended an hour,
WAS removed from the scaffold, and was immediately

L.IW REPORT.

COURT OF t HANCF.RY.
EX PAITE LORD DIGIT.) s TIIE MATTER Or THE DUCIIESI
Or wourc).K. (LUNATIC PETITION.)

Mi. tVingfield stated. dist this was a petition on the mot of
Lord I iigby. praying Matte, as committee of the lunatic, the
Diteh,...ss Dowager so Nat io: k„ might be perniitted to file a bill
fir the purpose of imerteining whether the present Duke of
Norfolk was net bound to ;icy up arrears of an annuity of 3001.
ut.ii of pin-money avisouoting to 7001. per annum, to which the
Duchess was eutitled by i!i, seCiement, executed by
t'te late Duke on tas I"lit:lags, and which had not been paid
since the year 17r1. 14y a fonuer order ot the Court. it had been
referred to Master Haney, to inquire s hether el.! petitioner
o taht to continence a suit -alma etc Duke fin the recover), of
t 4 xe encase. The Mawcr'hail iiectod:ratly intpmed, and had
reported that the I)uie was not liable, since he had coostently
supported the Durbin,. anti bad provided her with clothes and
ether articles, for which pin-tuneey was generally understood to
be set spot. The learned counsel, with all possible reopect for
the opiMon of the Master, could not meow 1.13 the propriety of
this n•po-t, which he believed to be founded anise* on mistake.
It parceled on the sitpt,ositain that pin-looney was an allowance
ferdothest and certaicl) . if that was the case, the Duke. having
provided the lunatic with clo.hes. could not be liable kw any
arrears. The real intetison of pin-money, however. was to
provide a fund, tiot hw the purehate of dress, but for the actg.
&Meal displey of that liberality and magnificence which were ex•
peetod from females of elevated rank and forturie..auch as
high-der prevents, costly preparations fix public eiddbitions.ac.
But,tadependtsuly of this error in the principle on which the
Master had founded his report, he conceived that the question
was of use great import:lna, involving, as it did,* sum of nearly
&Moot., to be decided tonally =Monty but that of his Lordship,
lie men proceeded incite several caws applicable to the present,
and endeavoured to establish the principle. that in all eases the
husband, or his representative, was liable for arrears d pin-

storey. unless it onild be 'lsom; that the wife had legally rilin.
qulshed her claim to that alk,sance. If this principle was
correct. there amid be no doubt of the Duke's liability to the
present ease; for since the year 1714, the Duchess had not been
competent to wave her claim.
Mr. Sladwell Mllowed on the same side, and argued at consi-
derable length in support.of the Duke's liability. lie sold it was
proposed to try the mattes Against the late Duke's executors, if
his Lottlship should think proper to allow them.
The Lord Chancellor said, the mil/ question before him was,
whether the committee 'Mould be at liberty to file a bill for the
recovery of these arrears alleged to be due to the lunatic, and he
was of opinion. that the committee. if so disposed, should have
that liberty.

G Leine w, Ave 10 —During last week upwards of 300
people, being in the Royalty, were working in the Green,
