" PROCLAMATION OF GENERAL NIVGPLEGOK TO

HIS ARMY.

" SOLDIERS I.—The Army of New Granada has
covered itself with glory. Porto Bello, the most
famous fortress of South America, could only
withstand a few hours the valour of our Army.—
The light brigade, under the orders of the gallant
General RAFTER, overcame obstacles and difficul-
ties which only men animated with your entlin-
sisasm could have attempted. The advance, led
by the brave Captain Ross, attacked the enemy
with such intrepidity, that they fled with fear and
astonishment to their walls.

" The Navy, under Commodore HuDsotst, in
covering the landing, and in the diversion he
made in attacking the Spanish Forts in the Har-
bour, did every thing that their intrepidity gave
me a right to expect from them. The Captains
and seamen of the transports are deserving of
overy pracsa for the exertions they made in laud-

log the troops.
" SOLDIERS !—Our first conquest has been glo-
rious ; it bas opened the road to fortune and addi-
tinmil faille. Panama invites our approach, and
the South Seas shall soon behold upon her shore
the Cdnquerors of the Isthmas.
" GREGOR. WGREGOR.
T-T,arl-qon rt err, Porto Bello, April 10."

" We learn, by the sloop Pitt, after a passage
ut 15 tir,' trout St. Andrea, that Sir GREGOR

ITGatc-oz was to Trotted di, hi* loate to Pana-
ma on the morning after her sailing.

" 11EVERSES OF TFIF. PATRIOTS.

" Letters received limn Curaqoa give an ac•
cwint that li►ttow's Squadron,
of about 20 sail,
bad sailed Margaritta for Cumana, having
encountered a •iolent gale, that had dismasted
and damaged the whole of the squadron, and was
obliged to put back to Margaritta. Of 800 Cr►g-
ligh -troops who hail arrived in that Island, 200
had already fallen vic, ims to the climate.
" KINGSTON, MAY I .—We learn by the Con-.
*we, that an express had. arrived at Cart bagena
about the lit ult. from General 1-10aaa at Panama,
requesting the Governor would send over 500
men to protect Porto-Bello and C'bagrt•s against
any attempt of the Independents, but which was
not complied with, in conaequence, it ii said, of
the troops being in x very mutinous state, not
having.receivid any pay for the last 15 months.

" Three hundred men arrived at Sat►ta-llartlia
on the 12th nit. front Carthagena, in order to
a,sist in garrisoning that place.

" Accounts bad freed received at Santa Fe from
Gina, dated the 7th of March, which represented
that place as being iii a tranquil and undisturbed
state, •find in quiet possession of the Ituyilists.
Several" %doable CaliliffeS bad been in ide in the
South Seas by the Ind pendent cruisers."

The subject of Mr. -i.:ANNiNG'S complaint of
Breach of Privilege was :mimed in the [louse of
Commons last night; as our Readers will find in
the Report of Parliamentary Pi ocee.!ings, and
occupied a considerable portion of time. Mr. C.
BELL, the Printer of. the Nlorniag .Priut ngain..t
which the, complaint was -brought, clearly aiol
firmly vindicated himself from tell concert., in, the
matter, and was properly 'lischarged. The
Reporter then Ve as called in, 'arid he gave sue,.
an explanation of the mistake into whien he, had
been led, as we yesterday araKrited, viz.
" that the attention of the Repor:er had per-
haps been disturbed, and that, on enquiry, he
might have been ignorantly misinformed, or wan-
tonly misted." Such, we doubt not, was the
tact as to the Reporter, of whom we have no
personal knowledge, and whom we never saw,
but whose character precludes all idea of inten-
tional malignity. .11, theraore, there was inten-
tional malignity in the case, it must be imputed to
theperson to whom the Reporter appealed, and who,
having given such false informs:inn, may reason-
ably be suspected of having acted front a male-
volent motive. It was asked by Mr. IVY MN why
the Reporter did not apply to other Reporters ?
but it may be fairly answered, -why should the
Reporter have distrusted the information which
he had received, and it is obvious that, if he
had employed his time in such inquiries, he
might have missed some interesting points
in the Dehme ? The sante Getoleman ob-
served, " that there could be no occasion to
publish Debates at the early hour now usual.—
The Public would derive the same advantage if
they were given at one or two o'clock." The
Honourable Geirlernau here does not secm to
allow for the eagerness of public curiosity, and
for the injury which Newspaper Proprietors would
suffer from the general Occupations' of life, and
the languid decline of such curiosity deriug the
day, to say nothing of the comparative efforts of
active competition, which, by an•earl,' communi-
cation of the essence of the Debates, would leave
no attraction to ampler and more faithful hut later
Reports. NVe were yesterday disposed to think that
the Reporter might have been misled by wanton
merriment, or what is called fan, but the elaborate
and particular manner in which he.' was deceived
convinces us, that the communication must have
been the result of positive malice against Mr. CAN-
NING ; and, /again fully acquitting the Reporter,
and sincerely regretting that he was brought into a
very unpleasant predicament, we as sincerely hope
that the malevolent misinformant could be dis-
covered and disgraced, if not adequately punished.
With respect to the Reports of Parliamentary Pro-
ceedings they are now become prominent features
in the Public Journals, but they'are;we believe, less
calculated to afford real information to the Public,
than to gra!ify mere curiosity. We are afraid
ourselves of incurring a breach of privilege, other- {-
wise we might animadvert upon that-constant per-
severance in oveosmoN to bring forward motion
after motion,which promise no essential result, and
long speeches upon such subjects on which " in.
spiratiou could hardly throw a new light." What
advantage can the Public at large derive from such
discussions and, such long-winded harangues,
which cannot but obstruct the necessary business
of Government, except, indeed, that the People
ought to know what Ministers are about, and
that their conduct should be watched, and
their measures undergo the ordeal of exami-
nation. As for the rest, the people at large must
give some confidence to those who ate in, because
they must wish to retain their plates, and must.
t),, disposed to infer that the clamours of Opposi-
tion arise chiefly from a wish to gel in.
