FRACAS IN HIGH Lirs.—A case came before
the Magistrate at Marlborough-street Office,
yesterday, of a serious difference between a Noble
Earl and his Lady, in consequence of which the
latter ordered the coachman not to let his master
have the carriage, and to lock the coach-house
door. His Lordship, after having stated the case
at the above Office, caused the coach-house door
to be broke open ; but it was then found tbat
the coach had been removed to a coachmaker's.—
The coachman pleaded that he had acted under
the orders of his mistress, but the Magistrate re-
primanded him for not paying superior attention
to the orders of his master.

to contradict the rumour of an intended loan

a quarter that gave it an appearance of truth, yet
the contrary is the fact ; and as to the truth of

NEW GRENADAN ACT OF. INDEPENDENCE.

In the island of St. Andrew's, of the province
of Cart kagena and territory of New Grenada, on
the 4th of April, 1819, in the 9th year of Inde-
pendence, and the Ist of its restoration, his Excel-
lency the Citizen Governor of the province of Car.'
thagena, and sole Delegate of the General Go-
vernMent of New Grenada, Dr. Juan Elias Lopez,
being in his own residence, his Excellency the
General-in-Chief of the Auxiliary Army, Citizen
Gregor Mac Gregor presented himself with a nu-
merous suite of Officers, and various other indivi-
duals of all classe4. After the requisite ceremo-
nies, his Excellency the Governor, addressing the
assembly, delivered the following discourse:—
" Flustrions Compatriots ! You well know the
mournful history of the evacuation 'of Cartha-
gena. On that great occasion, I had the honour
to depart with political authority. Having re-
tired to the Island of Jamaica, and always plan-
ning with our tellow-countrymen the means of
recovering independence, we entered into a
corresp todence with- the Envoy of New Gre-
nada, at the British Court. Citizen Jose Maria
del Rest directed to that end. At that time,
the meritorious General, MacGregor, that
darling son of Southern America, offered his,
services to that Envoy. They were accepted ; put
in execution ; and in a short while was prepared
the military expedition which you now behold,
the remainder of which will yet come to uniteavith
us for the annihilation of the Spanish Govern-
ment. , As Governor of one of the principal pro-
vinces of New Grenada, and as the sole delegate of
the General Government, I was invited to re-as-
sume political authority. I could not 'deny myself
to so just a demand, and having joined this expe-
dition, we directed our course to this celebrated
island, for the purpose of concerting our plan of
operations. Already we have the satisfaction to
tread our native soil ; already we are in the ter-
ritory of New Grenada ; and already may the Go-
vernment he formally re-established, and our in-
dependent flag may return to wave on her sea
and on the fortresses. Your fellow-countrymen,
illustrious citizens, will form that Government
with the most tree and spontaneous voice. You
may accept it, for 1 may not exact this, and may
now proceed to the august ceremony of recog-
nizing it, that that simple act may be the signal
of' its re-establishment, and that this day may
form an epoch in the fasti of our history."
This short and energetic harangue being
concluded, his Excellency General MacGregor
took the appropriate oath in the prescribed form,
at which moment the army and the squadron
fired salvoes of musketry and artillery. Soon after-
*yards were presented by his Excellency bbdies
o; officers to perform the sable act of-recog-
nition of the Government on the part of his.
Ai-my and Marine ; and on hoisting the Inde-
pendent flag, vivas and acclamations in favour
of liberty resounded on every side, and each
of those who assisted individually felicitated
his Excellency the Governor. The act being
confirmed, his Excellency the Citizen Governor
declared the -island of St.' Andrew's free and in-
dependent of all Spanish domination, and subject
solely to the Republican Government of Cartha-
gena, and to the General of the. United Provinces
of New Grenada.

tl,e worst of it ; some were obliged to be taken to
the holpital ; it is reported that one is since dead.
