Extract of a letter from a young man who left
Gosport in 1818, for the purpose of joining the
Independent South American army, in which sere
vice he now holds the rank of Captain, dated Pam-
peter, May 5, 1819:—" We are now in garrison
at this place, but the Spaniards having been here
just before our arrival, destroyed all the tarts
commanded the town and harbour. About a month
since we were sent on an expedition, under Athuira!
Brion to Cumulus, to cut out a Spanish frigate and
two brigs, but did not succeed, owing to the strong
batteries ea shore. Our squadron consisted of two
corvettes, eight brigs, seven schooners, and other
smaller verada. From Cutnana we sailed to La
Guira, where we had a severe engagement. The
Spanish fleet often appears off this island, when the
Independent squadron is undergoing repairs, but
never ventures out when oar ships are at sea. Our
present effective three here is two troops of Cavalry,
of one hundred each, the British Legion eight bone
dred, and Colonel Usler's Rifle Brigade, four loin.
dred. We have ulso a small park of artillery, corn-
mended by Colonel Gilmour, an English artillery
orfitx:r. The Spaniards carry on u most destructive
warfare. plundering and bushing every thing they
meet with, and murdering men, women, and chil.
dren. When the Spaniards last visited this island,
they landed seven thousand wen, only two thousand
of whom escaped, the remainder of them having all
fallen by the sword. Active operations have ceased
fur the prerant, the rainy season having set in, but
as soon as circumstances null permit, Ctimana and
La Guira will be again attacked, with the united
operations of the Army and Navy. The ration
abutted to u soldier is one pound of beef two oun-
ces of bread, and half a pint of rum. The troops
receive their pay weekly."
We some time gave a description of a Velocipede,
with a cut, illustrative of it ; we subsequently
noticed au improvement on this machine. under the
title of a Veloeimanipcde, and we predictor-1 that
greet progress would be made in the further im-
provement of this class of machines. Our prediction
has been verified, for Mr. Birch, of Great Queen-
street has invented a machine to travel without
horses, called the Trivector ; it is propelled by three
men sitting in seats, fist rued oat of the holy, their
feet resting on a bottom the same d 3 any other car-
riage, each hand working a lever. in the same
manner as rowing a boat ; it also carries luggage.
The machine is steered by the feet of the Etremost
man ; it weighs with the three nun included, ex-
actly seven hundred weight. In regard to its per-
formance, we are assured that it left London anti
reached Brighton in less than seven hours, exclu-
sive of stoppages, and that there might be no de-
ception on the part of the men who worked it (all
the way) the owner went on to Rye:erne in his
gig the night bethre, and started with them from
thence, he could scarcely keep up with it ; and
though his horse went very fast, be could not reach
Brighton first ; even a stage coach was endeavour-
ing to overtake it, and was left in the rear, the
men went once round the iteine, refreshed them.
selves, and started again on their return to town.
—On Saturday afternoon their Royal Highnesses
the Duke and Maim of Kent viewed this machine
at Kensington-palace; it was worked by S men to
and from the window in the garden, and afterwards
round the gardens, which is pesfhrtned in 17 minu-
tes. Their Royal Highnesses were very much plea.
Ned with its performance. The Prince:s Fadore,
with the Governess and Dr. Wilson, walked about
the garden whilst the m .chine wart working.
A letter from Mr. Joint M'Lachlan, of Glasgow,
who, so much to his credit, disclosed the system of
Scottish espionage, in 181 G, mentions that the for.
mer wretches have had impedence enough to re-ap-
pear in that neighbourhood, and to begin anew their
correspondence with the poor workmen. Let the
people take cure! particularly in the country villa-
ges, where the miscreant spies are not known.
The new Bank-notes arc in a state of forwardness,
and will be ready for issuing in a Phan time. Tkey
are formed upon an entire new principle, and can
only be printed by machinery of a most expensive
description, which has been invented for that pur-
pose, and is :row nearly completed. We have heard
it is the opinion of those who are esteemed compe-
tent judges, that it will be next to an impossibility
to forge the new note. It has bee" submitted to
several of the first artists in Empe, who have
declared their inability to produce ajhc s mile. We
therefore Lye shortly to congratulate the public on
the issue of a paper currency, which will tend to the
prevention of crime, and do away with the fre-
quency of those punishments which have ao often
disgusted humanity.
