More News from Bolivar.—By. the schooner 'Mi-
norca, which left Itio-de.ia-llache on the 9th
hyst. we learn that a dispatch-boat had arrived
there from Santa Martha, in nine days, and
brought accounts .that intelligence had reach-
ed that place that General Morillo hat) suffered a
severe defeat by President Toripes and General
Ut 'knit' a, second iu command, in the. rkeighbour-
hood of ()canna, which caused the former to retire
on Mompox. The same accounts confirmed that.
frro•m 400 to 500 of the Royal Army (the Cava-
dores). under Morales, had deserted and joined
the Patriots.

Six days previous to the departure of out in-
formant from Itio-de-la-liathe„ a vessel arrived'
there from Carthagena, with dispatches for the:
Governor there, and the Governor of La Guira ;
she sailed the same day for the latter place, and,
after being out five days, returned tOltio-de-la-
llache, where it was generally "Relieved that La
Galva had beets taken possession of by Bolivar.
Some time previot►s the Carvalbo Blanco, one of
Bolivar's squadron, went into Maracaibo, it► bal-
last, under Swedish colours, but upon the vessel
being recognized, and measures adopted to detain
her, she got under weigh. A pilot-boat had also.
been there under very suspicious circus►►stances,
and under the French flag, which bud much alat•m-
ed the Government, and the people were all tinder
arms. We intve it also confirmed that the spirit
of revolut •ion Was taking deei► root, in consequence
of. the cruelties which mark the career of the
Spanish troops. No additional force had arrived
from Spain as had been reported. Torices and
Urdanitta had 8000 men, and enrolments were
hourly taking Place of fresh troops.

We continue to receive the most distressing ac-
'counts of the -state of business at Sunderland.-The
failure of COOKS and Co. has paralyzed every
thing. Nearly the whole of the ship-carpenters
have been discharged, and several vessels have
come round frornStindeiland to Newcastle to load
coals, which Iley CtlnfOt 110 W procure at Sunder-
hind. Cr edit is completely destroyed, for since
the failure of, the Rank not a single hill has been
paid.—Never, perhaps, it) any place before were
the ruinous effects of a sudden deprivation- of ca-
pital so strikingly exemplified, I-low to avert the
witsl ruin of the town will be a consideration of
the greatest difficulty, but one to which the at-
tention of dig inhabitants ought immedjately to
be directed. At Newcastle, confidence, which
for the moment had been shaken,` is now, we, are
happy to, state, in a great oteasure,-restofed ; in
the only case in which a temporary assistance ap-
peared to be necessary,. the Bank of England is
understood to have granted the most effectual sup-.
port--a proot that where Bankers are possessed
of real property to meet their engagements, the
holders of their notes have nothing to fear horn
any momentary check which their circulation may
stistain.—(Tyrie Mercury.)

LONDON,
THURSDAY, JULY 18., 1816.

'!'trough this is a day On which, according to
prediction, we might rest ,upon our oars, and
suffer our Town Readers to digest the news which
would never reach those in t!►e Country, according
to their own fancies ; yet us the sky still keeps
over our heads without tumbling down, and it is
possible that the Seer of Bologna, like the prog-
nosticating Prophets of the Talents in this Coun-
try, may be mistaken, we deem it adviscable to
pritsue the, ordinary current of our occupation,
unmoved amid
The Crush of Nations and the Wreck of Worlds.
Not but that we arc duly impressed with the perils
of this era ; for who can be so sensitively alive to
the effect of !Spots in The SUN as we ? But then,
even were the worst to come, it would he some
consolation to be vitrified with our pens in hand
and paper before us, to the best of our abilities
doing our duty.

But perhaps we have devoted enough of space
to this foolish topic, the very talk about which,.
and the genera) ridicule attached to it, afford t
strong a proof that credulity is not extinct in
huntan nature, as even trie act of the selfish old
Lunatic, who took a bond of fate and destroyed
herself for fear of being destroyed.

The French Papers of Monday, like those of
England, indulge in many witticisms upon the
approaching end of the World ; but as they are a
nntion of Jesters, the practice appears,,pwie.
clta-
racteristie than with us, who call ourselves a gave,
and serious people. About- Naples, however, it
dots not appear that the prophecy of the " be all
and the end, all here" is reckoned any thing like
a yoke. 'They have had-some slight. indications
of Earthqoake, and new are discharg-
ing sulphurous powders over the land, upon which,
the alarm has become so great that the Ceretei
have received directions to compose the spirits of
their terrified parishioners.
The intelligence, which under more auspicious
circumstances than these Ides of March which are
come, but are not yet • over, would have been of
some interest in our mundane sphere, consists of
a description, of the ceremony of taking the oaths
by the new Marshals of France, and not a few of
the old ones. The Moniteur contains a copy or
this oath, and states, that the Duke and Duchess-
or. Bratty, with a brilliant Court, witnessed the
grand spectacle.
Among our other extracts will be found severvi
relative to the Piracies of the Barbary States,
and to the offences which engross the attention
and excite the vengeance of Europe against these
unpriucipled Marauders. A veryludicrous story
of en interview between the Dey of ALGIERS and
the French ConSul-General may be perused as a
humourous episode, relieving the darker shades
of this gloomy picture. It is in the true French
style, and we can only hope that the facetious
Consul may not, in sonic moment of caprice, ex-
perience the fate of one of his predecessors, JEAN
Box ST. ANDRE, of revolutionary memory.
There is also another very nbinisical pat a-
graph ill these papers. After noticing these
preparations in Italy, which, it is presumed ave.
to be directed against the Corsairs, the Writer
says :—" ft would be truly curious to see the Papal
expedition advance before that of England, and the
English Admiral avenged of the wrongs with
which the Homan flag reproaches him."

It, would indeed be curious to see the POWs
Sailors avenging any wrong ofireil to the British
flag !

We have received Jamaica Gazettes to the I 9th
of May, from which we have selected an article
of considerable interest relative to the Spanish
Main. We are sorry, however, that it is with-
out a date, to enable us to judge more accurately
of its importance.

We ate happy to say the,Yrincess. CUARLOTTE
continues much better in her health.

Yesterday arrived Major TeArrns, with
patches from from the Guticrtituei►t vi JaVa fo 1 ttie
14...a5t India Company. •
