JANIAICA Nl;tl'6,

Intelligence reached town yester(!ay from Ja-
maica, which states, that about the 2d of May
nine British sgbjecti, whti had brew condemned
to death by the Spanish tarsi, were taken from
their prisons and shot. It is confirmed that Col.
STUART also suffered. Mr. HYSLoP rues Mal
closely conned a prisoner at the (late of the 2d of
March, and his health was daily declining.
By accounts received in this city from Panama,
we learn that Admiral Brown, with the squadron
from. Buenos-Ayres, had doubled Cape nom, and
got intri the South Sea, where they made several
valuable prizes from Spain, on board of one of
which the new Governor of Gityaquil was'a 'pas-
senger, Brown then proceeded on the lith of
February off Puna, and after forcing the bat/eries
which defend the entrance of the river, left his
heavy vessels and went up for the purpose of
bombarding Pnyaquil, but his vessel got «shine
on the 18th, and he was made a prisoner. It was,
howeyer, said, that he was to be exchanged for
he -Governor.

,or We are anxiously waiting for the results of
Bolivarls expedition, knowing it to have sail-
ed, It is very true that Margaiitta, Barcelona,
and Cuwatia, are now entirely free of Spaniards;
Laguira is also in a state of anarchy : this infor-
mation was known by sure and true messengers.'
The Spaniards are so pour in soldiers, that they
have been obliged to arm the negro *lives, to re.
pel the attacks% of Bolivar. What a poor re-
source !"

Our letters of 24th February, from Carthagena,
mention, that the 19 Patriots had been shot by
Lite Spaniards, among; whom were Garcia, Tole-
to, Granadoa, Castillo, Ayos, Porto-Carrero,
Amptan°, chic. Twelve others were under sea-
ence of execution,

The Early Copes of our Seco.nlE Minn stfi
have read as follows:--" Ily private account r !ceivel #l,

tion is very evident. Tie disaffected in all parts atir
:semliling, stating at a pretext to cover their real vitt
the necessity ,if driving away the Allied Forces, and sbakitil

is the true cause of the movement."

LONDON,
FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1816.

IL appears by the latest intelligence 1111111D11"
sels, in a preceding page, that the accounts of
general ferment throughout France, as deserilo
in the Private Letters to which we particularly
alluded yesterday, are entitled to the tettic3t
The attempt on Grenoble has put all the
Spirits in a state of agitation, and the entire body
politic 7is affected by the movement. We have
some details of. the measures taken
.to restore
tranquillity and pUnish the guilty, and our opi-
nion remtiins unchanged, that the result of this
desperitte enterprize will tend greatly to strength"'
the Bourbon Government.

The Emperor AtAXA4I),ER has issued a very wise
and assuring Declaration, explanatory of the prin-
ciples of the Sacred Alliance, which the

posed were so much inelMeet to rniscepi eseht and
turn to factious purposes.

Some important commercial regulations occori
the Austrian and Danish Cabinets.
The other news in the Foreign Papers (inch

GENOA, MAY 4.—The Princess of WALes:O"
tied revy days ago at T4ioi3, froth which PIO

sbe einbarks for Constantinople.

We have devoted a vrtion of Ttie SUN of this
day to a description of the brilliant Court held hY
' her AIAJEsTY. It *as a gratifying sight to he"
hold the display of ni:ignificeuee HMI gra ilife"
which thitinguished this auTicions oeca,ion,
and still more delightful to hear the IoYLI
acclamations of the multitude assembled to wit•
ness the grand ceremony. The streets and
Park were thronged with well dressed spectators,
who zea!onsly cheeped the ..Patncs REGENT, the
PriticessCHAß LOTT a and her husband ,it 9 they Pinised
along to the Palace. Other branches of the Royal
Family were greeted with like demonstration'
of popular affection ; and the scene was alto-
gether one of the Most pleasing which has for a
long period enlivened this great Metropolis.
We trust that this is•but the first ota series of
Court Festivals. It is good to bring the Prince
and People as it were into contact on 'such acts..
sons, and the family of honest John Bull with
all their gravity, are as much delighted with the
pomp of such a spectacle, as the citizens of 00
nation on the earth.
The effect is-eieryWay beneficial.

is to devise and report to his Majesty, a plan to,
give increase to Spanish trade., as well RS to prO'

It is said, that the Spanish Leaders lately at"'

iN ttONOUtt OF .
tHE ROYAL NUPTIALS.

Yesterday's Court exceeded in brilliancy any
tbarbas taken place for a great number ot years ;
even the Court after the KING'S recovery did not
equal it ; there were supposed to be present be,
tween two and three thousand persons. The dif-
ferent Guards were mounted in the morning, in
'White gaiters, and the preparations were similar
.to those of a Birth-day Court. Although the
QUEEN has removed her Drawing'-rooms from St.
James's Palace to her own Palace; the I,)tiblic are
adtnitted. into the Great Hall by tickets, as was
customary at St. James's Palace. They began to
arrive there soon after ten o'clock, very elegantly
dressed in general. A Guard of Honour marched
-into the Court-yard, preceded by the Band of the
Sd, or Duke of GLOUCESTER'S ll.o4llllClit of
Guards.- The crowd collected round the Palace
by eleven o'clock, and soon after twelve it was
so great, 'that the Palace was scarcely accessible,
till a numerous assemblage of Police Officers ar-
lived, under the direction of Sir N. CONANT, as
vell as the Marshaltnen, the Porters, &c.
Although the Drawing Room was not announced
sto commence till two o'clock, the company began
"to arrive a little after twelve, and continued to or-
Alit till near five, at all the different eutrmlces.-
I,24atty of the distinguished characters wln came to
Court, were a long time kept in their citrriages in
the rinks, some of which frequently leached to
Oxford-street, and those who resided in St.
James's-square had to go as far as Uxford:seteet
before they could get into the line ; but notwith.
standing the immense collection of carriages, we
slid not hear of any accident, 'wets, thing being
extremely well regulated. The tattraabe of the
company at one time 'veal so great, that there
'was a complete stoppage under the covered colo.
lade for an hour. The grand object of :Ittrac,
tion, the Royal Pair, arrived at a quarter befitire
two o'ctnck, in state, their carriage beim.; pi 6-
Feded by three others, in which were Lady body
Murray, Lady John Thynne, Mrs. Campbell,
Miss Cotes, Sir Robert Gardener, Colonel Ad-
denbroke, Baron Hardeuhrooke,' and Mr. Percy,
'escorted by a party of the Life Guards, followed
by the greetings of the public. 'lice Prinee Re-
,
gent, the'Duke and Duche,s of York, the Doke
of Gloucester, accompanied by his Royal Sis er,
came in state, with their full suites, with escorts
of the Life Guards, The Duke of Sussex came
Nvith his fall suite of ittendauts., •
A few minutes after two her Majesty, with
her usual punctuality, entered the dtawing.rooni,
with her numerous and 'clistiognisin d Family, all
looking retnarkably well in health, end moved
according to their age and rank, wit.. Lheir nu-
'Theron, suites. The Queen took her usual station,
ler Chamberlain, Vice-Chamberlain, and other
attendants, standing on her lett, and the Royal
family ;o her right, &c. Her Majesty then pro-
ceeded to receive the congratulations of the splen-
did, brilliant, and highly distinguished throng.—
They passed on from the Queen to the Princess
Charlotte, Prince Leopold, &c. They all appeared
to vie with each other in their hearty compliments
and good wishes, Her Majesty received an Ad-
dress of Congratulatioa by Lord Grantley, , the
High Steward, and the Recorder of the borostgli
snid town of Guildford, accompanied by General
Novo, upon tile happy event of the marriage of
the Princess Charlotte. Her Majesty also re-
ceired several other Addreises from different.places
upon the same occasion.
The exterior of the Palace, as well as the inte-
rior, had the most splendid and fascinating ap-
pearance ; those who had paid their congratula-
tory respects to the Queen at the commencement
of the drawing .rOcitn, were not able to leave the
Palace, as their carriages could not draw tip till
ail the Company had been set down.' The win-
dows of the Palriec were filled with elegantly
dressed parties, others promenaded the Palace
Court•yard and grass plat, and such an assent-
.; blage, in such splendid attire, parading in the
.open air, probably was never beheld- before. The
mildness ot the weather was extremely favottrable
to the Occasion, and the effect of the scene was

consideraby.heightened by the accompailitnCrit;f

scone charming pieces by the band. The dignified
assemblage consisted of Bishops and Clergy, in
their full robes; t beJudges, the Lord CI) ielJust ices
of .the Courts of King's Bench and Commons

x.i„ciurt thesses, with the Royal servants in their
ttite dresses, and the Servants of a number of
the Nobility in their State liveries, rendered the
whole n scene got to he described.
The 'view from the Palace afforded a great treat ;
the top of the Queen's Guard-house was covered
With respectable persons. Several trees were
laden with speoatorS, sod the whole parlislthrung-
svith people and carriages. The Princess Char-
lour and Prince Leopold, with their Suites, left
'the Courtinthe sonic state as they came, the
