" KINGSTON, OCT. 16.—A report has reached
this city that all the unfortunate British Officers,
taken at Porto-Bello, and confined at Darien, had
been beheaded, by older of the Commandant of
that place.

" A. letter from Honduras, dated August 30,
says, You have, no doubt, heard of tienerat
AURY and Colime! GonooN's success in taking
Forts Saint Philip and Isabella, in the Gulp+, of
Duke. • It is said they obtained specie to the
amount of 60.0001. sterling. It is asserted- that
the Independents, and their party, intend to go
against some Spanish vessels, or the Fort of St.
ketnando d'Omoa.'

" It appears that soon after the return of
AURY'S expedition front the Gulph of Duke, a
serious altercation took place between him and
Colohel GORDON, when the latter was turned
adrift, and picked up by the King of the Musquito
Indians, who sent him to Honduras. Some weeks
after his arrival at that Settlement, he obtained a
large Spanish craft, and took with hint to sea
from 25 to 30 Indians, and it was generally as-
serted, that be intended to attack the first Spanish
vessel that be would be likely to make prize of.
" About two months ago, a very severe action
was fought in the South Seas, between a large
armed Spanish ship and an Insurgent ship priva-
teer, mounting 36 guns, when the latter was beaten
off with considerable injury. The Spanish ship
had a valuable cargo on board, and was bou►td to
Gityaquil.

" Two British men of way were cruising in
the South Seas, for the protection of pro-
perty, in consequence of which the trade began to
revive in different Spanish ports.

" By the Lovely Ann we learn, that the Hero
of Porto-Bello, wishing, like Richard,' to be
himself again,' had proceeded with 400 men
from Aux-Cayes it, that vessel, accompanied by
two schooners, and landed .at Rio de la [lache,
on the sth inst., and, after very little resistance,
took possession of the town, forts, &c. &c. He
retained it until Monday last, having till that
day been occupied in plundering only what was
public property ; but this modern Buccaneer
and his followers proceeding then to make an
indiscriminate seizure of what belonged to indi-

vid►►als, the inhabitants rose upon them en masse,
arid a severe contest ensued, the result of which
was, that they compelled 11.,PGREGoa, and the
remnant of his troops, to decamp in two schooners
that were lying in the harbour at the time of the
capture."

I The Opposition Financiers tvho were dumb-
founded by the Statement of the CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER on Wednesday night, in con-
tradiction to all their " prognosticating predic-

tions" of a diminution in the Revenue, have in
some degree recovered their spirits, and have re-
turned to their old gloomy habits. They now
venture to hint that the Statement is delusive, and
they prophecy again that it will not be justified by
fact. But while we deeply feel for the distresses of
the Country, which have rendered too many of tle
lower classes an easy prey to the arts of the Se-
ditious, we hope to see our Manufactures gra-
dually revive, the Revenue increase in proportion,
the People in general become more happy, and
the traitorous and rebellious Reformers prevented
from spreading their political poison by those
wholesome Laws which will secure the Constitu-
tion in Church and State from the danger with
which it has been recently menaced.

The following are extracts of letters received
yesterday, via Trinidad : _
GUAYANA, OCT. 14.—The post has just arrived from the
capital of New Granada, where every thing looks favour-
able. We hope soon to see both Santa Martha and Cartha-
gcna free, for there tire Spaniards are on their last legs. A
respectable force has been organized, and will soon come to
the aid of Venezuela. The Spanish squadron has disap-
peared from Margarita. Several Spaniards belonging to the
Regiment of Barbastro have come over to join us at Matu-
tin. We have just received a launch, having on board a
quantity of gold in bars, received from Santa Fe. This
money will be chiefly appropriated to the purchase of mus-
kets, the only article now we materially want, and the
sooner they come the better.
ANGOSTUHA, OcToaEtt 12.—The whole of New Gra-
nada may now be considered free, with the exception
of Carthagena. Owing to the armament that had been
sent overland to reinforce Lima New Granada had been
left bare of Spanish. troops, by which circumstance the
conquest has been facilitated. In Popayan there is
only a small garrison, and that of the province of Autioquia
dues not exceed GO men, chiefly intended to guard the mint.
Fire hundred of our troops have been sent on to the latter
province, and 1,500 to Popayan, which will be sufficient to li-
berate all the confining provinces, so great is the enthusiasm
that prevails. Soon we shall be in a state to laughs at the
future efforts of Spain.

THE PRINCE REGENT'S COURT.—Yesterday, at
half-past two o'clock, his Royal Highness the
PRINCE REGENT held a Court and Council at
Carlton-house.—At the close of the Council, the
Recorder of. London was admitted into the Royal
Presence in Council, and made his Report of the
Convicts capitally convicted at Justice Hall, in the
Old Bailey, at the last o.oher Sessions.—The
Regent gave audiences to the Earl of Liverpool
and Viscount Castlereagh.—Viscount Melbourne
arid General Finch, were the Lord and Groom in
%%Pairing.

IIoYAL PRESENT.—We lately noticed the arrival
of the magnificent present of Porcelain from the
King of PRUSSIA to the Duke of WELLINGTON.
A similar tribute, we find, has also been presented
to his Grace by the King of SAXoNY. The latter
consists of a desert service of Saxon Porcelain,
and of six complete assortments of 'fable Linen.
Thi. beautiful present, we understand, was ac-
companied by a Letter from the King of SAXONY,
expressive of his strong sense of the kind manner
in which the Duke treated the Saxon Contingent
when he wits Conimander•in-Chief of the Army of
Occupation in France. The plates and the
linen are of the most beautiful manufacture.—
The whole is designed with the (utmost simplicity,
and is rendered more valuable by the manner in
which it evinces the 'high esteem and respect
which the King of SAXONY entertains fur the
great British Hero.

MARRIAGE OF MISS O'NEILL.-On Saturday
morning last, 18' h inst.tbat truly patriotic Senator,
our highly gifted countryman, WILLIAM WIIIRON
BECHER, Esq. a Gentleman of very considerable
property, and the Representative for Mallow in
l'alliament, led to the Hytnenial Altar the
lovely and eminently accomplished Miss O'NEILL,
with whose virtues and talents we are all so
well acquainted. The ceremony was perform-
ed at Kilfane church by the Honourable and
Rev, the Dean of Ossomr. The happy pair are
to remain for a few Jaya at Kilfane-house, the
hospitable mansion of JOHN POWER, Esq. after
attic,' they proceed to the Dean of LtsmOßE'S, on
their way to the• Seat of the much•esteemed bride-
groom, in the county of Cork. If ever marriage
promised permanent felicity, this union surely
does ; for never was one contracted under happier
auspices. Both the parties are possessed of every
virtue to adorn, and every power to charm—and
both of them hive given proofs of the most ge-
nerous and disinterested attachment for each other.
If their domestic happiness shall only equal that
of the estimable family who have been the wit-
nesses of their solemn vows, more cannot be de-
sired—not more, at least, by any one who has
ever mixed in the social circle of Kilfane ; that it
may, is the ardent wish of all who know the
honest Statesman and his lovely bride.---(Kilkenny
Paper.).

The return of Madame MARA to this Country,
has excited a great bustle in the Musical world,
but, it seems, that she has declined all the many
engagemerts which have been offered to her since

her arrival. It is riot a slight proof of her spirit,
that, in her anxiety to see Old England once
more, she came all the way from Russia, wholly
unprotected. Her knowledge, however, of the
languages of the Countries through which ,she
passed, and tire fame of her talents, secured her
kind treatment during the whole of her progress.
Lord CATHCART and family landed at Dover on
Thursday from Russia.—Tha Marchioness of
DowNsutaa and family arrived at Dover on the
same day from France.

Mr. KEAN spends the Christmas holidays at
Bath, where lie is engaged to perform eight of his
principal characters.

English Opera House, and who has been singing
