Extract of a Private Letter from Calcutta, dated

July 16, 1818.
" From this time last year our harbour has
been continnally lull of shipping , the principal
part of which are from Europe. The free trade
having so largely increased during the above pe-
riod, freights have become so low that vessels of
from four to 500 tons must make a heavy loss on
the voyage.
Every species of European produce has be-
come a complete drug in our market. Porter
sealing at taro rupees per batrel (18 gallons) cask
included. The cotton crops have not been so fine
this last season as was anticipated, and owing to
a great demand at the present time, will, i: is ex-
pected, raise the price of that article+. Wines of
the best quality of every kind nre in the matkrl et
a complete stand, the very best being sold by
auction at 2-,1- dollars per doyen..
" Our warehouses are full of English goods,
sebich are dull of sale, and at lower prices than

LETTER FROM ST. THOMAS, OCT. 18.

" It may be interesting to you to know the
fate of those who formed the expedition in aid
of the Insurgents during the last year. CAMP-
BELL disputed with his Officers ; they sepa-
rated, and be retired to North Ametica. Hir-
PESLEY returned to England, after incur-
tiog the displeasure of the Supreme Chief.—
M‘DosikeD was assassinated by the natiwes on
his way from Angostura to Calabozo. WILSON
is a close prisoner at Guiana, by order of BoLt-
VAR, and will be tried for supposed high trea-
son. Gtemoaa is at head-quarters, without hav-
ing made any arrangement relative to the artil-
lery department, whereof he will haVe the direc-
tion. Rowe has collected about one hundred En-
glish, to ,ehom were united about three huudred
natives, all clothed as English soldiers, and are
now on the advance towards Cumana. The cause
of the Insurgents has not prospered since the last
year. In the mean time their pecuniary diffi-
culties ate so *very pressing, that even delay
for the present season would be equal to a
defeat. BRION is now at Granada, repairing
some damages that his ships have lately sustain-
ed. The conduct of this Chief has on a late
occasion given much disgust to his Officers,and the
Captain of one of his ships has fled with it to the
United States. 80t.P.,,,t has caused to be pub-
lished in some of the Newspapers here, a Certifi-
cate, signed by all the English in the.service of
the lesetgents, stating their approbation of the
treatment received by them from that Chief. It
is also to be inserted in the London Papers.—
The popularity of BOLIVAR is on the decline,
and PAez, is looked up 10 as his successor.—
[he attachment of the English is divided between
them ; but the greater part seem inclined to
unite with the destinies of the latter. Col. Wm-
one of those, and will fall a victim to
the vent:entice of BOLIVAR. The Royalists avail
themselves of this disunion, for the purpose of in-
creasing their army. Many Foreign Officers have
joined them, and among them some English."
