Extract of a Letter, dated St. Thomas's, March 28,

1818, to a Merchant in Lancaster.

" Owing to the advance of the l'a,riots to-
wards the Caraccas, we hive this day had intelli-
gence of General MOH ILLo having completely de-
feated them. He i,ad succeeded in forming .a
junction with the rest of his troops previons to
the battle ; he will, no doubt, immediately ad-

vance against Augustus."
The above is the only article of any importance
in our Ship News of this day.

We were wrong in our conjecture that• Lord
HOLLAND might , possibly intend, by the motion
which he had announced tespetting Autvas, to
support the measure for guarding the Country
against their intrusion. On the contrary, he ob-
jected to that measure last night, but was very
,ably answered by' the Eat! of LIVERPOOL, who
gave the most satisfactory reasOns for the con-.
tinnance of an ALIFs ACT. ilk Lordship asked,
as we did yesto:dvy, why England was to be
made the refuge of every had man from every
country, whose ctimes, or whose mischievous
principles, had obliged him to quit his own ? We
compel ships to pet form Quarantine when they
may be supposed to have on board the seeds of a
contagious dsordur, and can any disorder be
more dangerous thrill that of Jaeobinism, which
infected the rabble in every part of Europe ?
‘ire are astonished that any men professing public
virtue, and who have a great stake in the Coun-
try, can not only appear indifferent about its
welfare, but absolutely opposing measures neces-
sary for its protection.

GENERAL ELECTION.—The report gains ground,
and with increasing, strength, that this event will
take place at the end of the present month. Now
then is the time for the Constituertt Body to look
about them. Not to listen to specious De-
elaimets, and Jacob nical Politicians, who have
no aims but at power, and who, after all their
pretences of popular feelings, feel only for them-
selves. Men of property, and of sound constitu-
tional principles, should be the objects of their
choice, and then their essential interests will be
secured from venality on the one hand, and de-
mocratical ambition on the other.

THISTLEWOOD.-1n our account -yesterday of
the Trial of this man we did not think it neces-
sary to state that he was attended by WATsoN,
the Doctor, as he is stiled, who took notes of
what passed in Court. This WATsolv is abso-
lutely incorrigible. He escaped capital punish-
ment himself, his Son is obliged to leave the
country on a charge of Murder, and, though he
will probably never see that Son anymore, unless
he should rid us of himself also, yet this miserable
Dabbler in Politics still perseveres in the same
course ; and it is a proof of the open integrity of
our Courts of Justice, that such a man, who was
brought there as a culprit, should be permitted to
intrude himself in mid of a Brother Returner.

As Mr. KEAN was lately retiring from his pro-
fessional labours at the Theatre, he was accosted
by a half-starved and naked Negro, who most
earnestly solicited shine assistance from hint.—
[hiving in vain searched his pocke!s for money,
he took off his great coat, which he gave to the
beggar, and disappeared.—(Morning Paper)

INIELANCIIULY AcCIDENT.-Yesterday morn-
ing two children, one aged seven and the other
nine years, sons to Mr. Bray, Farmer, of Bran-
wood, near Edmonton, were playing in. the
fields with sc,me other children near the side
of the •Nicw River, having along with them
a little dog belonging to their filthier, which the
youngest of the brothers took .and threw into the
river to learn it to swim, but -perceiving that the
dog was paddling in the water, and not advancing,
Ise supposed it, was drowning, and called to his
brother to come and get it out. On time other com-
ing to the spot, and thinking that the dog was in
danger, he began to cry, and at the impulse of the
moinent•he jumped into the water, which was in
the deepest part of the Liver, and sunk to rise no
more. The cries of the other little innocent at-
tracted the notice of a labouring man,whohastened
ro the spot on being told of the circumstance., to
atford what assistance he could, and who had
the greatest difficulty imaginable to Frevent the
youngest child trout plunging into the water, as he
,aid, to save his poor brother. When the body was
got out it was (pile dead, and was taken home to
the indescriblt 5t *lel and agony of the poor parents.
