From the New York Gazette, June 9.1

FROM MEXICO.—One of the passengers, ar"
rived yesterday in the packet from Havanuahr-
reports that a battle was fought near Puebla, bg?"
tween the Royal troops under the command of
Colonel ELIA, and the Insurgents under the colw"
mand of Colonels lIENERA and BRANO, the cornier
with 1200 men, and the latter with nearly 400°;
the battle lasted three days, and the Insurgents
were totally defeated, with the loss of 200 fuel'
killed and 400 wounded ; the loss of the Royalist/
Was small, and they were still in pursuit of the
fugitives. General ITURZIDE, the Chief of tote
Insurgents, was blockaded in the Sierra Bo'
rabas, near Acapulco. It was expected at "Vera
Cruz and Mexico that the insurrection would be

immediately suppressed.
LATE FROM SOUTH AMERICA.—The fast sail"
ing brig Lara arrived at ,this port yesterdays
after a short passage of. 46 days from 131013°5
Ayres, whence she sailed 26th April. The
greatest agitation prevailed in the city. It Was
reported there had been a revolution
at Cordova
and other cities. CARRERA, with a strong force,
•was said to be at Melinque ; he bad about 4000
horse. It was believed that a war would be
declared with Portugal.

A Lisbon Mail arrived---

Letters from the island of St. Thomas, dated
the 25th of May, stale that the 'city. of Caraccas
has been taken by the independents, who-entered
it .on the 13th. The following partiCUlars are
given of the- mode in which this conquest was of--.
fected the conclusion of the armistice, the
Spanish Generals Morales and LaTorre concen-
trated their whole force about Valencia and Ca-
labose, leaving Caraccas wholly unprotected.
Gen. Bermudez, who commanded a division under
Bolivar, perceiving this oversight, marched upon
the city with 1,200 men. On. his march he en-
countered an advanced post of 300 men, whom
he repulsed with ease ; and the Governor, who
marched out of the city to their assistance at the
head of 600 then, was also defeated. He
retreated into Caraccas, and summoned the
Provisional. Junta, whom he informed that
they had nothilg left but to make the
best terms they could ivith the enemy.
kparley ensued, in whiCh it was demanded of
General Bermudez, whether he would adhere to.
that article of the treaty of Traxillo, by which
the treatment of conquered p:.:fes was regulated,
and being answered in the affirmative, they de-
clared themselves ready to meet them as friends.'
Those adherentS of the Spanish Government who
considered their. safety to be compromised, fled
to La Guayra, the sea-port to Caraccas, where
they shipped all the property they could collect
on board the ships in the harbour, and sailed for
Puerto Cavello. The Governor and all the
troops accompanied them. His Majesty's ship
Sapphire, which vas lying at St. Thomas's, sailed
on the 23d May for La Guayra and Puerto Ca-
vello, for the prOtection of the British property
at .those places.—(Morning Paper.)

EItiCLISH OPERA-HOUSE.----Tlie QUEEN visited
this Theatre last night. The audience were by
no means so numerous as might be expected on
such an occasion. God Save the King was sung,with
the alternate substitution of" the Queen," in com-
pliance with the clamour of a part of the audi-
ence, whose violence' easily obtained a predo-
minance over those of a more decent description.
The same party then raised an uproar on account
of the Box in which the QUEEN appeared. This
turbulent spirit obliged Mr. BARTLEY to come
forward and address the audience. He began
with saying, " The box in which the august
Personage who has this night honoured the
Theatre with her presence —". At this moment
burst forth from the party alluded to a cry of
" The Queen! the Queen !"—I t might be sup-
posed that the terms " august Personage" were
more 'respectful than the mere designation of
Queen, but these silly people were unable to
comprehend the distinction. At length, after
much tartulence, Mr. BARTLEY obtained a hear-
ing, when he expressed himself in the following
terms.:-, . ,

" I can assure, the house," said he, " that the expression
which fell from me was dictated by the sincerest respect to the
individual to whom I alluded, and was used in compliance with
an etiquette always observed—(o In the House of Commons,'
said several voices from the pit and gallery)—in speaking of
royalty from a public stage;—(Applause.)—lndeed, I believe, I
may say that it is contrary to all etiquette to speak of any indi-
vidual by name on the stage of a public theatre..—(Applause.)
—The box in which the Queen—(loud cheering and applause)
is now sitting, is the box usually assigned to such members of
the Royal Family as confer upon the theatre the honour of a
visit, and besides is the box selected for her Majesty by her
Vice-Chamberlain, so that we had nothing to do but to obey
her orders in getting it ready, as you see, for her reception."
--This-speech, delivered with modest firmness,
at length allayed the storm, and the farces of
Bachelors' !rives, Love's Dream, and the new
humorous sketch of Tzvo-pence, followed, and
passed off with spirit, except that the same party
who had disturbed the house before availed
themselves of every passage in the farces which
could be applied to political --feelings. The
QUEEN left the house.about ten- o'clock. Soon
after her departure- Mr. BARTLEY read a paper.
importing that the Theatre would be opened
gratis to the Public on Thursday, in honour of
the Coronation, and stating, the arrangements by
which persons desiring admission should. apply ,
'for that purpose.
