COLOMBIA.

From a Baltimore paPer of the 3d ult., which
arrived yesterday, we extract the following ac-
count of twuVictOries obtained over the Spaniards
by the Colombians, which led without doubt to
the capitulation of Morales, communicated in our
intelligence from the 'Wand- of St. Thomas :--
On the 6th of August the Spanish frigate Constitution and
corvette Ceres arrived at Curnoa from Maracaibo, they corn-
municatethe followingintelligence:—" That on the 24th of July
Commodores Padilla and Bcluche, commanding the Colombian
tiauadron, consisting of Me brigs Independencia and Mars, and
schooners Spartana and Constitution, with several smaller yes-
sits, 'attacked the Spanish flotilla, under the command of
Commodore Laborde, consistilig. of one brig, three schooners,
and twenty-five gun-boats. The action Was severe, and ended
in the almost total destruction of the Spaniiih squadron—
' the brig and schooner were blown up, and the rest captured
or destroyed, with the exception of the achooner Especuladora,
in which • Commodore Laborde made his escape to his ships
lying outside the bar. The Spaniards confess the lass of 1,500
men, amongst whom they count 160 officers; out of 100 men
landed from. the CoMmodore's ship, only 11 returned. The
Corvette Ceres landed also 100 men, butUs she is detained to
leeward by the current, it is not known what number she lost.
lien detention to leeward, where she has cast anchor, is sup-
posed to be occasioned by a want of men to work her.

General Morales remained in Maracaibo 'with about 800
men, and short of provisions; but it is supposed he has been
forced to surrender before this. His second and third in corn-
Mand had arrived at Curacoa in the frigate, now repairing her
spars and rigging in that place.
We further learn that Morales had sent part of his force across
to Alta Gracia, with the view, as supposed, of effecting an es-
cape, or of making a diversion in that quarter; but being
promptly metbya Colombian corps; which repulsed them at
every point, anti having after a severe action sustained consider-
able loss, the Spaniards, with the remains of their force, re-
turned to Maracaibo. It was thoaght Morales' might himself,
in some small vessel, effect his escape to Curacoa, but that
what 'remained of his troops must fall into thelands of the re-
publicans.
It was also understOod at Curacoa, that Commodore Laborde
had put himself At the head of the squadron on the lake,,roore
from:the entreaty of Morales, who expresseddris confidence of
success, than from the conviction in his own mind of the Pru-
dence or policy' of such'S measure.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

We have received by Express the Pilote of
yesterday, and the Etoile of Saturday night. The
latest news from the French liead•quarters is of
the 25th ult., on which day the. French allege
that the grand attack had not yet taken place,
From the intelligence contained in our preceding
columns, as well as in the subjoined extracts, how.
ever, it appears that the blockading squadron had
actually bombarded tho city, and that the attempt
had been frustrated by an inopportune 's change

of the rand!" Our Readers will recollect, that in
TuE Sum of last Wednesday it was stated, on
the authority of private letters from Paris,
that an attack on Fort Puntales had failed,
in consequence of the wind changing. The
Bulletin writers of Port St. Mary have not
thougbt*oper to c4mfirin that inauspicious op
currence ; but here we have the official acknow.
lodgment that the inconstancy of the winds, or
1 the fickleness of fortune, has really compelled the
French bombarding flotilla to sheer off from Cadiz.
There can be very little doubt that the French
.have experienced a check, in the execution of
those grand operations, the preparation for which
they have every day during the last six weeks as-
sured us were completed,and from which they have
unceasingly been desiring the world to hear of
the speedy occurrence of" great events!" The
truth seems to he, that the Duke of ANOVU"
LEME, by the shew of formidable demonstrations,
, —by the loudness of his threats,—and by the
capture of the Trocadero, Santi Petri, &c. has-
been endeavouring to effect his purpose by.

intimidation, or by giving the disaffected within
Cadiz opportunities of representing the hopeless-
ness of the defence, and of thus exciting an,in-
surrectionary movement in his favour amongst the

inhabitants and the Constitutional troops. These
measures having failed to shake the firmness
of the Cortes, or to excite an overwhelming
mutiny against their authority, and the experiment
of a naval bombardment of Cadiz having been
also ineffectual as a menns of bringing
the besieged to an unconditional submission,
we shall not be surprised to hear that the Duke
has again manifested a disposition to treat, and
that the war will after all be terminated by the
recognition of the Constitutional Government.• -

IMPORTANT.

An Express has arrived this morning from Paris

with the important intelligence that an eslafelle

lad arrived in that Capital from Constantinople,

bringing information that Lord STRANGFOIID had

succeeded in settling all the differences between

the Porte and Russia, the Porte having acceded

:o all the demands of the latter Power,

Turkey further consents to leave her pretensions

respecting the Greeks, and her quarrel with that

heroic people, to the arbitration of England,

Austria, and Russia.

CITY, Tzzeive o'Clock.—Consols opened this

morning at 83} for the Account The Expresses

from Paris have brought the French Renter at

states that an Aide.de-Camp of the Duke of

ANGOULEME had arrived at Paris with important

dispatches. These dispatches are explained in a

private letter received by the above Expresses, ad..

dressed to a most respectable house in the City,

and the writer of which adds, that it may be re.

garded as certain, that 'g Hostilities have ceased

before Cad's." A new negociation, therefore,

must have taken place, and the basis agreed upon

on both sides.

STATE OF IRELAND.

-
The Marquis of LANSDOWN said it had been understood
that his Majesty's Government intended to propose the conti-
nuation-of the Insurrection Act: it would be extremely desir-
able if the Noble Earl (Liverpool) could state at what time the
subject would be brought before this House. He (the Marquis
of Lansdown) was uware that it was intended to be brought
before the other House of Parliament, in which case it would
probably be brought up to their Lordships with a mass of other
matters at the latter end of the Session, when it would be ut-
terly Impossible that the House could do its duty in thorsughly
considering it. He also begged to ask the Noble Earl, if he
was not in possession of additional information of much greater
moment than an which was on their Lordships' table respect-
ing the state of Ireland, and he was afraid he might add of a
still more unsatisfactory nature ? Whether the Insurrection
Act were renewed or not, the House had a right to every infor-
mation on the subject. He also thought it his duty to ask,
whether that Act was the only remedial measure which his
Majesty's Government had in view for the permanent tranquil-
lity of that country ? For himself, he declared that he never
could consent to suspending the laws merely with a view to the
employment of a less military force ; he should therefore be
glad to know from the Noble Earl if any augmentation
that
country.
to take place in the military force employed in that
country.
The Earl of LIVEUPOOL said, the consideration of the
continuance of the Insurrection Act :was already before the
other House of Parliament, and but for the inquiry which was
going on there, a bill would probably have , been before their
Lordships ere this ; when it did come, he should be prepared
to give every explanation. The Noble Lord had asked whe-
flier any other measures were intended. There was the coin.
mutation of tithes and an improved system of collecting the
revenue, which might be looked to as remedial measures,
though certainly not of immediate operation. The Noble
bora had also asked whether he (Lord Liverpool) lied any fur-
ther information of greater moment than that which was before
the House. 'He (Lord Liverpool) did not 'know exactly What
the Noble Lord meant. The Government had cerfainly con-
tinued to receive Information as to the disturbances in Relent!,
from the date of the piers on the table up to the present Mo-
ment, and every part of it which could with propriety would be
laid before their Lordships. He was nut prepared to say %Or:,
ther there would bti any augmentation of the military iorce:in
Ireland r that would materially depend on the nature and,,
extent of the disturbances.
Lord'KlNftlwished to ask the Noble Lord whether the con-
nexion between this country. and. Ireland had not, for the last
20
_years, been an evil rather than a benefit ?
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said he had* no difficulty in
giving the Noble Lord an answer in the negative.

Mr. EDITOR.--Your Paper, I believe, has a
large circulation amongst the Clergy : Allow me, then, to re-
commend to them, through such a channel, a measure which
has lately been adopted in the City of Bath.—lt is, Sir, an
Address to the Legislature for the formation of an Ecclesiastical
Establishment in our West India Colonies, similar to that
which has been provided for the East. This proposal; lam
sure, need only to be mentioned to secure the approbation df
all reasonable men, as the best mode of bringing about a better
order of things in our Colonies, both as regards the Whites and
the Negroes. It is to little purpose to seek for the Emancipa.
Lion of those who are, not in a state to be trusted with freedom,
—but to endeavour to make them fit for such a blessing, is at
once a benevolent and sensible attempt. I trust, Sir that our
Religious Societies, and particularly our Universities, will
follow such an excellent example: It need only to be brought
before the Legislature, and then every one will wonder that it
was not before carried into effect. I am, Sir yours, &c.

credit to a veteran corps. The advances in squadrons and in

tremely well executed. The day was fine, and a great number

father to son a story of a man having hanged
himself with a hay rope over a hay rick, at Ber-
rybush, in the County of Selkirk, 105 years ago.
Two men lately employed in casting peats, re-
membering the tale, curiosity prompted them to
dig about the spot, and, to their astonishment,
they discovered the body of a man, with a hay
rope about his neck, by which they pulled him
out of the moss ; neither body nor clothes were
the least decayed."—( Border Courier.)

INDIA.

ACCOUNT OF THE REVENUES AND CRARGES OF

INDIA, FROM 181'2.13, TO 1821-242.
The total of the revenues of Bengal, Fort St. George, and
Bombay, with Bencoolen and Prince of Wales's Island, in
1812-13,, amounted to 16,488,9341., and in 1821-22 to
22 195,008/.
The total charges in India, interest on deht, expence of St.
Helena, and political charges paid in India, were in 1812.13,
16,935,4701., and in the year 1821.22, 22,195,0081. In the for-
mer year there was an excess of expenditure above revenue of
440,481 W.; in the latter there is a surplus of revenue above the
expenditure of 602,1281.
The only years out of the ten compromised in this account,
in which there appears a surplus of revenue, are 1012-13, and
the two last years ; in the seven others there have been defi-
ciencies, more or ess considerable ; so that the debt in India
grew from about 30 millions (in 1813), to about 40i millions
In 1821. The last account for 4122 reduces it to 37,1117,868/.,
of which 8,4811,4991. is debt not bearing interest. The amount
of the interest is 1,9/10,417/.

" Three years of the reign of demagogues," says the Count,

which called itself liberal was but an intolerant, ambitious, and

the mtbst insupportable tyranny.

the fidelity of the Portuguese by the recompense %Icon bestow,

degree possible the empire of law and the happiness of the
people with the dignity and stability of the throne, shall be

With brightest dreams my spirit—and repose

SIR HENRY RAEBURN.

EDINBURGH', JULY 19.—At a general Meet-
ing of the ROYAL INSTITUTION for the Encourage-
ment of the Fine Arts in Scotland, held on
Thursday, July 10, 1823, the LORD PROVOST in
the Chair, the following Resolutions were un-
animously adopted :-
1. That the Meeting has, with the most profound regret, re-
ceived the communication of the death of Sir 11. Raeburn,
R.A. and his Majesty's Painter for Scotland—an• event to be
deplored, not more on account of the private virtues of that
great artist, than of the pre-eminence to which he had arrived
in that branch of the profession to which he devoted his rare
and distinguished talents, and which has mainly contributed to
the reputation of the art in this quarter of the Empire.
2. That this Meeting is fully sensible that it was a tribute
Most justly due to the memory of this eminent person, that the
Members of this Royal Institution should have requested per,
mission of his family, to have publicly attended in a body
I his remains to the grave ; and that it is, therefore, with
deep regret, that this Meeting has been obliged to yield
to the conviction, that circumstances connected with the period
of the year, and the imlispensible engagements of the persons
of whom this Institution is chiefly composed (which render it
impossible for them to be assembled on the day which is
understood to be appointed for the funeral), must pre-
vent their having the melancholy gratification of afford-
ing that testimony of their respect for his virtues as an
individual—of their admiration of his talent as a painter,
—and of their absolute persuasion that the progress of the Art
itself must be most materially retarded in this country by his
sudden and premature death.
3. That the above resolutions be communicated to H. Rae-
burn, Esq. anti be made public in such manner as the Direc-
tors of this Institution may appoint.

PROTESTANT DISSENTING MINISTERS,

, .
Yesterday a highly respectable Meeting of the Society for
assisting aged and diitressed Protestant Dissenting Ministers
took place at 40.1iing's Head Tavern, Poultry, JAS. Otusox,
Esq. in the Chair.
The Reverend Mr. CLouT? (the Secretary) read the Re-
port, from which it appeared that the claims on the Charity
had rather increased than diminished within the last year, and
that the whole of the disposable funds had been appropriated t•
that renewed exertions were necessary to be made, otherwise
the Institution would not be able to relieve new applicants,
without being driven to the painful necessity of reducing the
-sums already granted to those on the list.
It was suggested by some of the Members of the Society
that an annual Sermon should be preached by the most
Popular Preachers in the different districts, and of the differ-
ent persuasions, in aid of the 'Charity. It was also mention.:
ed, that frequent collections for the Charity would be ad.
visable. The first suggestion was very much approved, and
finally embodied in a Resolution, which passed unanimously.
The second was at once rejected, the Society being,.of opinion,
that' it would be both impolitic and indelicate to press too'much
on their congregations; who might begin to.thiok that dissent-
ing was rather too expensive.
Thanks having been -voted to the Chairman, anti the Secre-
tary, the Meeting separated.

NAPOLEON ON CAANIOLOGY.--GALL, and all
who resemble him (said the Esn'peror), had a
great attachment to materialism, which was calcu-
lated to strengthen their theory and influence. But
nature is not so barren. Were she so clumsy as to
make herself known by external forms, we would
go to work more promptly, and acquire a greater
degree of knowledge. Her secrets are more
subtle, more delicate, more evanescent, and have
hitherto escaped the most minute researches.—
We find a great genius in a little hunch-back ;
and a man with a fine commanding person turns
out to be a stupid fellow. A big bead with a
large brain is sometimes destitute of 'a single
idea, while a small brain is, found to possess
a vast understanding. And observe the imbecility
of Gall : he attributes -to certain protuberances
propensities and crimes which are not inherent
in Nature, which arise frotn society and the con..
pact of mankind. What becomes of a protube-
ranee denoting dtkvery, where there is no pro.
perty to steal ?—of that indicating drunkenness,
where there are no fermented liquors ?—and of
that characterising ambition where there is no
sock/ compact ?=—(.lournal of Las Cases.)
