" KINGSTON, JAMAICA, Apntt. 18.—Arrived
yesterday the William, Frazer, in eight days from La Guyana

Extract of a Letter from Honduras, dated April 13, 1823:
" The only news I can give you from here is

that five or six of the deluded creatures whom Sir OnEcoa
M‘Gn EGO a sent to the Mosquite shore, as settlers to his Vice-
royship of Poyais, arrived here about eight days ago from
Black River, after undergoing dreadful exposure and pri-
vation in an open boat ; one of them, a poor woman in
the middling rank of life, after seeing her husband and
infant child expire before her in the boat from absolute
want. Out of tt3 who arrived at one time at the shore, nine
remain ; some put out to sea to reach Beliza ; others up the
river, and have never been heard of ; and others died mi-
serably, near to where they were landed, which was abso-
lutely among mangrave trees, which they had to cut down,
the greater part of their provisions were lost on Black River
Bar. To give you an idea of iII'GUEGOR'S way of impos-
ing on them, there is now in Belize a letter of recom-
mendation given by him to a son of Mr. Tony, clothier,
of Edinburgh, addressed to his Excellency Brigadier-Gene-
ral HALL, who is a Musquite man, whom I saw in Belize
the other day with scarcely -breeches on him. Gen. Conn in-
tends sending immediately for the remnant of another load
which was sent there lately,—if he does not, they must perish
from exposure, if not disease."

vernment has sent Letters of Marque on the

The Oporto, COVEY, arrived in the Downs,

his Excellency's departure for Holland for a few months ; he
was presented to his Majesty by Mr. Secretary Canning.—
The Bishop of Calcutta was introduced to the King by Mr.

Privy Council, at which we understood an Order was issued,
prohibiting British subjects from entering into foreign service.
—His Majesty gave audiences to the Earl of Harrowby, Vis-

Duke of Wellington.—The Court
Il is MAJESTY will leave Carlton Palace this
day, for his summer residence in Windsor Park,

favourite retreat of the KING is no longer to be
called, as heretofore, the Royal Cottage, but is
for the future to go by the name of the King's
Lodge. It is expected that his MAJEsTy will
return to Carlton Palace in about ten days. His
MAJESTY'S usual party had the honour of dining
with him yesterday.—(Morning Herald.)
ARGYLL ROOMS.---M I'S. SALMON'S Annual Con-
cert took place in these Rooms last night, and
though it was numerously attended, yet the au-
dience was not so large as might be ex pected,con-
sidering the high rank which she justly holds in
her profession. The cause, however, is easily ex-
plained : Mr.Cft AMEIt had his Concert in the morn.
ing at Wtws's Rooms, which commenced at one
o'clock, lasted till near live, and had about
700 visitors. It was, therefore, hardly to be ex-

.. ‘ .
pected that so many of the musical world should
remain to attend a similar entertainment in the
evening. The Argyll Rooms, however, had
web a number of visitors as to shew
that Mrs. SALMON has a strong hold upon public
admiration, rather than that she was neglected
under such particular circumstances, She was
very much applauded at her entrance, and the
excellence of her performance fully re-,
warded so favourable a reception. The Con-
certnit b was
sy
well supported in the vocal depart-
I herself, GARCIA, SAPIO, BELLAMY,
De BEGNIS, VACCIIIANi. TERRAIL, and CAsteo-
RESE. MORI, BOCIISA, WILLMAN, and NICHOL•
SON, displayed their instrumental skill on their
respective instruments ; and Signor PIETRO
vimERcATE in a Fantasia on the Mandolin,
exhibited surprising execution, and was most
deservedly applauded. An apology was made
by Sir GEORGE SMART for the absence of
Signora Royal DE BEGNIS, on account of
indisposition. Refreshments were gratuitously,
and abundantly supplied to the audience be-
tween the acts, as was the case at Mr. liAwks's
late Concert, but which is not the usual custom
at these Rooms. The. Concert lasted till half-

1' 0 E T It Y.

Imitated—From CUATILIEU.
As life approaches to the goal
That shuts the scene on all below,
With heart and mind above controul,
And tranquil step, I onward go ;

Content, persuaded, doubting not,
No dupe to superstitious sway,
I freely quit the beauteous spot
That saw tne young, and wild, and gay ;

And laugh at those that vainly fear
To taste the goods that God bath given,
Not knowing that acceptance here
Is forwarding the will of Heaven.

AIR. CANNING.

(From i' the Liverpool Courier, June 4.)

We have great pleasure in presenting to
readers the correspondence which passed between
the Chairman of the Plate Committee, H. B.
HOLLINSHEAN Esq., and our late distinguished
Representative, on forwarding to Mr. CAN taxa
the beautiful and splendid piece of plate pre.
sented to him by his Constituents in Liverpool.

" Read's Hotel, Lower Grosvenor-street, May 7;1823.
" MY DE AR Sin—As Chairman of the Committee, appoint.
ed to carry into execution the resolution adopted at a general
meeting of your friends, held at Liverpool, on the Mb day of
April, in the last year! I have the honour to apprize you, that
the then intended parting tribute of their regard is completed,
and Messrs. Rundell, Bridge, and Itundell have my directions
to send it to Gloucester Lodge.
" In making this communication to you, nothing more seems
to be required of me. The sentiments of the gentlemen on
whose behalf I address you are (as you will perceive) record-
ed by themselves,
" And it only remains for me to request, in their name, that
you will do them the honour to accept this memorial and ac•
knowledgment of your public services.
" I have the honour to he, dear Sir,
" Yours, &c. &c.
" 11. B. IIOLLINSIIED.
" To the Right lion. G. Canning, &c. &c."

" Gloucester Lodge, May 9, 1023.
"MY MAX SIR—I had the honour to receive, this morn-
ing, your letter of the 7th, announcing the completion of that
splendid present, with which the munificence of my friends at
Liverpool has graced our parting.
" All the ctreumstances of that parting, anti especially the
distinguished assemblage over which you, Sir, so worthily pre-
sided, at my last visit to my constituents, dwell in my mind,
together with the many, many proofs of confidence and regard
which I have, for ten years, had the happiness to experience
from my friends at Liverpool. There wanted not the record of
this beautiful work of art to keep all their kindnesses in my
constant and grateful remembrance : but it is gratifying to me,
in the highest degree, to have such a memorial of them to trans-
mit to my children.
I beg you to accept my best thanks for the share which you
have had in conveying to me the sentiments of those among
whom I have ever found you most active and conspicuous; and
to believe me, with real and lasting esteem and regard,
" My dear Sir,
Your obliged and faithful servant,
GEORGE CANNING.
H. B. Blundell Hollingshead, Esq."
