It has been a topic of general regret in the literary
world, that Mr. Eustace did not live to finish the Supplemen-
tary Volume to his " Classical Tour," so as to forma com-
plete. Work on the present and past State of Italy, for which
he Wit engaged in collecting materials at the period of his
premature decease. But what Mr. Eustace did not live to
accomplish, Sir Richard Colt Hoare has executed, and in
such a manner as, it is hoped, will he at once acceptable to
the Public, and grctifying to the numerous friends of Mr.
Eustace, as a tribute of respect to his genius, and of affection
to his memory.

cellent qualities.—Mr. Cundell recommends those afflicted

" MY ESMEMED FRIEND,.—This island is At
this moment inn-a most flourishing state. A great
trade is now carried on by us, arising out of the
number of prizes continually brought into our
ports. The Spanish brig the Arrogante Barce-
tones, from La Guayra to Spain, was taken in the
latitude of the Azores, by a Buenos Ayres cruizer,
Captain Almeida (a Portuguese), and on arriving
here it was .condemned in favour of Captain Al-
meida. The vessel and cargo were sold at a pub-
lic sale for 40,000 dollars, ready money. We have
heat4;llllring the last four days,, a great cannon-
ade in the direction of Carnpano, and we expect
every moment to receive the good news of our
troops being in possession of that place ; as also
the arrival of Admiral Brion in this neighbour-
hood. The last letters we received from him were
dated in Granada. I have received official dis-
patches from our friend Bolivar, in which he
in-
forms me that be was to leave Guayana with his
guard of honour 'for this island ; and he invites
me to join hint in the taking of the City of Cu-
mana, where his Excellency intends to be in per-
son. The preparations that we are making for
this enterprize are great, and no doubt hut it will
be effected with success. We have heavy artillery
and mortars for the purpose, and every effort is
to be made on our 'part, if necessary.
" Bermudez marches along the coast with his
division, consisting of seven hundred men ; Ma-
rino 'has under his command fifteen hundred ;
Monagas, Sedeno, and Zaraza, having in all
two thousand brave fellows, will take possession
of Barcelona. The Supreme Chief , brings no
other troops from Guayana but his guard of ho•
Hour. _ Valdez is the Governor of Guayana, and
T. Montella is now on a private mission, 1 believe
it is for Casanare. Paez and Donato Perez com-
mand our strongest military forces, and the Su-
preme Chief, myself, and all of us, have the.firm-
est reliance on them. Our maritime forces from
this Island consist of 14 flecheras, well manned
with brave and intrepid fellows, well armed, all
of them acting on the coast of Terra Firma, and
two of them stationed in this island. They are all
under the command of Gutienes in his fine brig
the Mnus. They made an attempt to cat out
some of the vessels at La Guayra, but could nut
italorPpa ; ar:a -they.4fterwards lauded a party at
Camburi, played the deuce inetc, nntt utr
with them Colonel Covst, who for a long time
was bid in the mountains, with other individuals,
all good Patriots: The Colonel has given an ac-
count of many others who 'are also hid in the
mountains of Carsccas, and who will come out
with the first opportunity to join the standard of
liberty.
" Two thousand muskets are already distri-
buted among the inhabitants of this Island, and I
am going to distribute 700 more. Besides these,
there will remain 2300 muskets in boxes in the
stores, and a' quantity of ammunition, &c..
We have every thing in abundance, and the Island
is, very healthy. We lately ' received from L.
Mendez muskets, powder, lead, &c. in a fine brig
of war, Captain Chitty, and on board came M.
Palacios, an excellent man, now •Member 'of this
Vice-Admiralty Court, and much beloved by me,
and by all his Compatriots. The brig is now
called the Libertador, and will sail on a cruise in
two or three days frotn this."
The following is the Extract of a Letter, writ-
ten by an English Gentleman, now at Angostura
for the purpose of trade, and addressed to a mer-
cantile House in the City :

" Extract from a Letter, dated Angostura, Sept.

12, 1518.

"The public, concerns of this country were ne-
ver, at any period, in so prosperous a state as
at present. There is a superabundance of arms,
ammunition, and every kind of warlike stores;
and the armies are much increased in number and
greatly improved in discipline. Public confidence
is doubled, and every man is 'worth two of what
he was ,before. The Spaniards have received no
reinforcements whatever, and cannot now in
time for
_the opening of the campaign, had
they them to send, which does not appear to be
the case. They have withdrawn from almost the
whole. of New Granada, and it is confidently ex-
pected, by all here, ,that they will retire from the
whole of Venezuela, and endeavour to defend
Mexico,'Oere various accounts mention, nume-
rous insurrections to have again broken out.
" Many of ,the Independent Generals have left
this place to assume the command of their va-
rious divisions, and to be ready to commence ope-
rations the moment the weather will permit.—
General Bolivar is still here, and will probably
remain until he goes to make his public elute into
the Capital of the Caraccas.
" Admiral Brion is ,at sea with a strong Noll-
dron ; and in fact the destruction of Spain as a
Transatlantic Power seems very nearly accom-
plished.
" I entertain as high, if not a highir opitiion
of the honour of the individuals (meaning the
Supreme Chief Bolivar and the Members of the
Council) than 1 ever did."

The. letters yesterday from the. United States
mention that Government, to relieve the coin..
mercial distress, and assist public credit, had.
thrOwn about eight millions of dollars into cire,:•
lation, as a payment for the 'Louisiana siock,
which was in progress of being paid off. This
relief was considerable for a day or two; but at
the date of the last letters, it was stated only to
have had a temporary effect ; the want of nicnei
was as great as before. The Exchange on E!ig.-
land had been at 5 per cent. discount, but had
recovered a little, and 'on the lath was 32 a al;
the Bank paper was at a discount, but great ex-

PUBLIC MEETING IN MANCHESTER.

TO CONSIDER OF THE BEST MEANS OP PAYING A

PROPER AND MARKED RESPECT TO THE MEMoRIC

OF HER LATE MAJESTY.

On Thursday, in pursuance of public advertise-
ment in the Manchester Papers, convening it, a
Public Meeting took place in the li-trge room of
the Police-buildings, " for the purpose of pre-
paring- an Address of Condolence to his• Royal.
Highness the Prince Regent on the solemn occa-
sion of her Majesty's numb lamented death, and
of adopting other suitable demonstrations of the
general feeling." If one unanimous sentiment on
the melancholy occasion had not prevailed in the
towns of Manchester and Salford, the Meeting
would certainly have been more numerous, but it
could not have been more respectable.
E. CLAYTONi Esq. the Boroughreeve, took the
Chair ; and

JIMES NORRIS, Esq, who undertook the task of
moving the Resolutions (which were all passed
with mosr respectful and unanimous accordance)
opened the business of the Meeting, by a very
neat and appropriate speech, which he commenced
by.expressing the gratification afforded to his feel-
ings, in common with those of the inhabitants of
these pop'ulous awl loyal fowns, by the Borough-
reeves and Constables calling them together, to
give expressions to their regret for the death of
our late Illustrions Queen; and to tender humbl/
and respectful condolence to his Royal Highness
the Ptince ItegenG on the lamentable event ; and
as one sentiment only pervaded every mind, he
anticipated the most pet feet unanimity.

" It is certainly fortunate," said the Learned Magistrate,
" for the people of this Kingdom, that circumstances have
prepared us for the disaster. The length of years to which
her Majesty's life, by Divine Providence, has been ex-
.teo.teti. and. the severe and protracted sufferings which she
has undergone, have has the- of ,-et of teaching us to expect
the shock; yet it is impossible not to feel it as a great and
loyal people ought to do. In common life, to say of any one
that she had attained the 75th year of her age, during 57 of
which all the most exemplary dirties of an affectionate wife
had been eminently fulfilled; that she had been the mo-
ther•of a very large family, brought'up to matured estate, and
to whom she had been a tender and indulgent mother, set-
ting forth the brightest example of religious and moral vir-
tues—wonld in itself be no mean praise; hut when, in addi-
tion to these duties, you hare to add the care and anxiety of
a Consort Queen of this great Kingdom, and the weight of
sustainirg tire most splendid Court of Europe, to which her
personal virtues and feelings were to give the tone, and that
her example must necessarily shed its infloilnee on all those
of the higher classes who approached her presence, and
through them on all the other classes of the community ; that
all this was done for a period of nearly sixty years, in such a
manner as to raise the character of ler Court and of the coun-
try to the highest point•of purity of morals and decorum—
surely, Sir, we cannot be too sensible of such a blessing on
these kingdoms, nor pay too strong a mark of our grateful
respect and veneration for so much departed worth ; and
such, Sir, I venture to pronounce, were the excellencies of
her late Majesty, whose religious example to the country
was as bright as her moral one ; and if her charitable dispo-
sition was less knoivit, it was because she observed the beauti-
ful precept of the Holy Writ—' To du her alms iu secret,
and not to let her left hand know what her right hand did ?'
After all, the page of history, I do not douht,will record her
as-the most virtuous Queen that ever 'sat upon the Throne of
these realms. Allow me, Sir, now to draw the attention of
the Meeting to that part of the duty of the day, the Address
of Condolence fo his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, on
the irreparable loss which he and the Royal Family have sus-
tained in the demise of the Queen Mother. If ever the
sweet support of sympathy were wanting in any case of human
suffering—if ever the people's love and loyalty were in any
case imperiously demanded t I succour the wounded feelings
of any Prince or Sovereign upon earth, the Prince Regent, at
t his 'moment ,demands the affectionate support and condolence
of all classes of his Majesty's subjects. In the short period-
of twelve months he has been called upon to endure the
most agonising pangs which can rend the human heart:
in the first instance by the death of an only and beloved
child, and now in the loss of his most revered mother,
between whom and himself, it is well known, the most
tender affection subsisted. lie was her eldest born, and all
the tenderness which she, during a long life, has continually
strews to him, he has most amply returned by every kind and
constant attention which the most dutiful and affectionate
son could bestow. These dear ties of our common nature
are in him for ever torn asunder, and perhaps the highest
gratification which his Royal Highness may now be enabled
to feel, and which may tend more than any other to repair
his shattered feelings; will be the testimony, from the Coit,:ff
Kingdom, of the sincere sympathy which all classes of his Ma-
jesty's subjects feel on this occasion, and the assurance of
their increased loyalty and attachment."

Mr. NORRIS then proceeded to move the first
Resolution, which -being seconded, was passed,
like all the following ones, with unanimous ap-
proval.
On Mr. NORRIS moving the fourth Resolution,
that the Clergy and Ministers of the several
Churches and Chapels devote the day 61 her Ma-
jesty's interment to the purpose of Divine Ser•
vice,

Mr. BIRLEy moved, as an addition, the recom-
mendation to occupiers of warehouses, shops,
and other establishments of business, to close
them entirely on that day.
This addition to the original motion was adopted
unanimously, as roost proper; and most decent ;
not only as a mark of respect to the memory f
her Majesty, and of sympathy with the feelings f
the Royal Family, but to evince a Christian-like
sense of the awful dispensation itselt.
