LONDON JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS IMY.

[Morning Post.]

Adv-ices have been received from Trinidad to
tl►e end of November, by which we learn that five
English Gentlemen, who had been engaged in
obtaining supplies for the Insurgents on the Spa-
nish Main, while proceeding to Angostura in a
snrAll vessel, were captiired by a Royalist armed
brig at the mouth of the Orinoco, It is also stat-
ed that a considerable gi►antity of specie, taken by
General BOLIVAR at Santa Fe, the capital of New
Grenada, had been transmitted across the country
to Angostura.

We hear from good authority, that Lord Com-
bermere, at present Commander-in-Chief of the
West India Islands, will shortly proceed to Cey-
lon, to take the command in that quarter, in the
room of Lieut.-General Sir Robert Brownrigg.—
We are alio informed that the gallant Lieutenant-
General Sir John Oswald is destined to he the
successor of Sir Thomas Maitland in the Govern-
men► and Chief COmmand of the lonian Islatids.
It will be remembered that it was this distin-
guished Officer who originally rescued these
Islands from French domination, and whose sub-
sequent conduct gave such entire satisfaction to
the natives, and was the means of reconciling
them to the 'British Government.—(lbid.)

Extract of a Letter from a young Officer on
bow(' the American frigate Congress, to his
friend in Washington :
.

" RIO JANEIRO, JULY will probably
like to. bear something of this place. The coast,
as you approach it, is graml beyond description.
The mountains are of immense height, extending
as tar as the-eye can retie)), up the country. The
Brazil coast may be truly caned iron-bound ; 1
believe there is not in the world such another.
" The town looks well from the roads where
we lie, which arc about two miles off. It is re-
gularly laid out, but tie streets are narrow end
the buildings closely crowded. Some inh-abitants
are said to be of imn►ense Wealth ; but it seems-to
me they must be miserable, for there is scarce any
sociality among them, and their houses are neither
well built nor well furnished. •

" The Portuguese are the most superstitions
beings in the world; the country •being ruled by
Priests, whom they believe to be sent from God
to pardon their stns. I have visited their churches,
which are more splendid than any buildings in the
States, and saw many devotees kneeling before
golden images.
" The King and Queen disagree ; they have
separate palaces, carriages, and guards. The
King is bound up in rtligion, disliking all shews
,and parade. The Queen is directly the reverse.
There are three Princesses, all very pretty ; one
of them gbite a beauty. I saw the whole family
at the chapel. I have been too at the theatres,
and saw dancing Which surpassed all I had 'ever
seen. A few days since a man in business here

The following is an extract of a Letter from
Malta, dated Nov. 20 :
" We are now without Admiral, Governor, or
Lieutenant-Governor. Gen Layard was super-
seded, to the beginning of October, by Sir Man-
ley Power, who immediately got leave of ab-
sence and Went to France to fetch his lady, and
is not yet returned. Sir Thomas i‘Litland ar-
rived here catty last mouth, after an absence of
a year. Alarming accounts of insurrection at
Santa Maura occasioned him to leave this almost
immediately.tor the lonian Islands, where he
seems fixed, and, by all account 9 from that quar-
ter, their is no likelihood of his returi: for some
lime. Indeed, it is thought that he will have his
hands full there; but it is very di6tressing for this
island, many causes of the High Court of Appeal
having been pending fur years. %%then lie was
here, lie could not find time to- hear them, and
there are now many prisoners waiting for trial at
the Admiralty Court, particularly the, pirates, of
whom 'yon doubtless have heard There is no
question as to their guilt, as I undeivand they
have all confessed; the Captain and Mate throw-

in the blame on the seamen, run' they on their
Officers. Two have been admitted Mug's evi-
dence. Their trial had been ordered for the 26th
ult., but-Sir Thomas's absence has hitherto pre-
vented it. When Sir Manley Power returns, they
do say a Court of Piracy will be l►eld, at which
he will preside instead of Sir Thomas Maitland ;
yet I hardly think this will be the case, as, ac-
cording to tl►e tenor of the commission originally
given to Sir Thomas, he, and he only, mast pre-
side ; but. as it seems now quite nncer►ain when he
will be here, the attempt to delegate his judicial
powers for this purpose is intended to be made
if the prisoners object to it, as I have no doubt
they will, I should not be surprised it they were
sent to England. The Crown-Advocate is said
to have strong doubts about it, and I hardlythink
they will venture to execute eight or ten people
under such circumstances. Thus you see how
things are managed here, and all for want of a

permanent Governor. But what do !lyre
say, and what do they not stiffer ! I will give
one trait, and you may judge by that of others.
From the great and increasing distress here,
(nothing having been done to benefit the trade of

this island), the Government found a great falling
off in the consumption of wheat, of which, you
know, they have the ac)( Ctscr ‘va's
very great quantity on bend. decreasc, to

the consumption they rightly attrihnted to the
substitution of barley and Indian corn for wheat,
by the distressed people. To remedy this,
in their wibdom and hnmanily, do you think they
did 2 They laid a fresh duty on the importation
of barley and Indian corn; by which means, as
any man in his senses must see, the poor people,
instead of being relieved, were forced a s►ep
lower in misery, and compelled to substitute
something worse or less in quantity. The event
has proved this ; and as the above plan has not
increased the consumption of wheat, the Govern-
ment bave accordingly increased a second lime

the duties on barley and Indian corn, which can
only make the people more wretebed. Mean-
time the wheat is very bad, and our In--al horrid.
Surely wF cannot expect that this kind oLpolicy
will tend to make us more respected or beloved
here unfortunately every Englishman, whether
favouring or censuring the present system, shares
alike the aversion of the natives ; but those who
influence these measures seem not to owe much
for public opinion.

" Every thing is kept very secret here respect-
ing the insurrection. Santa Maura, I
hear, is
Full of troops, and they say all is quiet at present!
'et us hope that there is no smothered fire under

the embers. Several executions have taken place;
among the sufferers were two priests. Many have
fled for the continent to seek refuge under Ali
Pael►a. The Bishop is in custody with several
other people. The insurrection has been caused
by overbearing taxes. Every inhabitant has been
disarmed ; guns, swords, dirks, daggers, all
taken : and it is supposed that similar -measures
will take place in the other islands. Sir Thomas,
went off to Santa Maura, but did not land."

*** We have included among our daily Ex-
rracrs from the LONDON Jout;t4Ar-s the foregoing
etter, because, if the statements which it con-
aina are well-founded, it calls for the peculiar at-
ention of Government ; but it is proper to ob-
lerve, that it appears in a Paper kiistinguished fur
is hostility to Ministers.

FATAL PUGILISM —A severe.battle was fought
on Monday, at Sealesworth, near Woodford, be-
tween George Clowes, a farrier, and Stephen Grist,
paviour, originating out of a dispute at a public
house, about Christmas-boxing. Both men start-
ed off to Oght in a state of ineb:iation, and the
contest was manfully though aukwardly maintain-
ed tor three-quarters of an hour, when Clowes
tell insensible, and never spoke again. It seemed
his death was occasioned by the rupture Of a
blood-vessrl.

Let bins not abuse with the utmost coarseness

It is obvious, that if truth could incur suspicion,
or fall into discredit, it would be from its adop-
tion by such a man."

Tile following is an Extract of a private Letter
from Halifax :

" HALIFAX (N. S.) DEC. 4.—We have bad ac-
counts still of the continnance of fever at I3er-
tnuda
: so touch so, that Admiral Griffiths does
not think it necessary to risk the health of the
stpradron, by proceeding there immediately. His
Majesty's ship Mersey, Gip. Collier, sailed for
Bermuda this morning, in order to obtain the
ne-
cessary information. The Carnation, Capt. Ilan,
and Bellette, Capt. Peechel, *are already there.
Remain here, the Newcastle, Rear-Admiral Grif-
fiths, Capt. Fanshaw ; and Cyrene, Capt. Tozer.
The..determination of Captain•Generd the Earl of
Dalhousie, to reside here until the spring, (when
he proceeds to Canai.la), has given great and uni-
versal satisfaction. At th'e'North British 'Society's
dinner, on St. Andrew's Day,, the toast which ob-
tained the most enthusiastic applause, with shows
and illl7.ZdS, was,: May the wisrl,”n of Parliament
devise means to root Out the Radicals."'

On Saturday Sir JOHN SINCLAIR presented to
.the. Lord Provost and Magistra ei some trophies
of the battle.ofloo, which he had collected
on tl►e field soon after the engagement. It is in-
.tended to place these proofs of the heroism of
our countrymen in the proposed national monu-
ment, when completed.—(Edinburgh Courant,
