von: ment doca not procte.A from any feat o.s

the part of the infamous Traitors, who, under
pretence of Parliamentary Reform, only aim at the
destructi6n of Government, but that they hate
determined to remove the intended Meeting to a
more threaten;ng position, viz. into the heart
of the Metropolis; by a public invitation for
ruffians of all descriptions to assemble again in
Smithfield, on the 25th iust. as appears from the
following printed Placard, which has been posted
up in several parts of the town, but particularly
in the neighbourhood of the Borough of South-
wark :

" UNIVERSAL, CIVIL, AND RELIGIOUS
LIBERTY.

" A PUBLIC MEETING of the BRITISH METROPOLIS,
in behalf of the People of the whole Empire, will be held in
SMITHFIELD, on WEDNESDAY, August 23, at Four
o'Cloek in the Afternoon.

" The Surrey Committee hare, at this awful and momen-
tous Crisis, determined to defer their Meeting at Kenning-
ton Common, to a future day, and join the People of Middle-
sex in an appeal to the Prince Regent, to come forward to the
People to stay the hand of merciless and bloodthirsty Tyrants,
and save the Country from Massacre and Murder I!

" England expects every Man to do his duty.'
" Sir C. WOLSELtY invited to the Chair.

" Committee for the Borough of Southwark and County of
Surrey—W. Pahl', I. Ceasey, B. Donnington, I. Holt, B.
Esdeu, Ed. Cleary, C. Osdam, C. Ryan, T. Connabrough, I.
Mears, D. Wren, J. Dewley, D. Dee.

" DENNIS SHAW, Secretary.

The impudence of stiliug their own rebellious
hordes." a PUBLIC MEETING of the BRITISH ME-
TROPOLIS" needs no comment ; but we trust that
" the British Metropolis," supported by the Civil
and Military Authorities, will protect the Coun-
try, and secure the incorrigible Miscreants who
ate attempting to involve it in the horrors of
Anarchy. The same presumptuous audacity is
shown in this invitation Placard, where the other
Ruffians, who are invited to attend, are suiled
in it " the PEOPLE of MIDDLESEX." But
we have the pleasure to state that BLANDFORD,
the Secretary for the Middlesex Commitiee of
Rebel Reformers, was last night apprehended at
obscure lodgings in Hackney, and placed in
safe custody in Giltspur-street Compter. This
man is the' chief confidential friend of HUNT ;
and as they can now have no opportunity of com-
municating with each other, the Public may ex-
pect ;drat discoveries will be made of importance,
either from the cowardice or treachery of one or
the other. BLANDFORD was to be examined this
Morning before the Lotus MAYOR.—We hear that
he-made a desperate resistance when he was ap-
prehended, and that deadly weapons were found
in his possession, which, of course, will lead to a
more extensive examination: and, we hope, a full
developernent of the designs of his associates.

The REVORM MEETING, summoned by Woocua,
took place this day, at the Clown and Anchor.
Major CARTWRIGHT was present. WOOLER pro-
posed WADDINGTON as Chairman, to which the
Meeting assented. The Chair'was taken soon af-
ter one o'clock. The room was quite full, and as
Major CARTWRIGHT was expected to give a full
History of the Manchester Proceedings, it was
inferred that the Meeting would not break up till
midnight.

During the time that the PRINCE REGENT was
on his aquatic excursion, some strange reports
were in circulation, among which it was stated
that his Royal Highness had been sent for express,
on account of disturbances in the Country.—
But his return to Cowes, instead of proceeding
to Brighton or London, soon put an end to the
foolish rumours. It is now doubtful wheth r his
Royal Highness will visit the Break-water, or re-
sume his voyage this season, when he has return-
ed to shore.

By a Gentleman, who left Angostura on the
19th June, we understand, that Colonel BRIcENo,
Secretary of the War Department, had arrived
at Angostura from General BOLIVAR'S head-qoar-
ters, at or near Nutria, a town lying high up the
Apure and above. San Antonio. General BOLIVAR
was advancing to reinforce SANTANDER, in order
to make a formal attack on Santa Fe, which, it
was supposed, would not be able to withstand
them. The Royalists had left 300 men in San
Fernando, and Commodore DIAZ, with a flotilla
of gun-boats, had ascended the Orinoko to drive
them out; LA TORRE was at Guanare, and Mo •
HALES at Calabozo. Cumanacoa was occupied by
part of General .BERMUDA'S troops, and the re-
mainder were ordered to join MARINO'S head-
quarters at San Diego. Our informant tells us,
that the defeat of a Royalist division under AL-
DANIA by Generals MARINO and CEDENO, near St.
Diego, is correct. He saw MARINO'S letter, giv-
ing an account of it ; and he adds, that nothing
could be mote complete than the victory, by which
a large portion of country had been liberated.—
As the• rains had set in, the military affairs of that
country of course could not be pushed with
any iv eat vigour for the present. (Morning
Chronicle.)
The Doke of GLOUCESTER arrived in town at a
late hour on IVednesday night front Cheltenham.
.Yesterday his Royal Highness lett Gloucester-
house for Bagshot for the season.
His Royal. Highness the Duke of Susszx ar•
rived O❑ Thursday.
