The Mowing very interesting .extract
from an English bfficer in the Colombian
holds out a sttong assurance of the speedy disk
tare of MoaAl.as, who it appears has been gulls,
shaking crneltiesin Maracaybo : •
st. THOMIX.I.3I NOVIMBER 4.
." The further supply of Micnitions of war has be-
come necessary in conseqUence of an unexpected
inanteuvre of the Spanish General, Morales, who,
having a superior naval force, threw himself into
Maracaybo, then unprotected, most of the land forces
being drawn to Caraccas and Valencia, supposed to
be bikdestipation. •
" The plunder in money and dry goods (that is, the
manufactures *of Germany, France, and England)
could not be less than three millions of dollars ; but
what aggravates the loss of Maracaybo and so much
property, is the basely putting to death at least
twenty families, the most respectable in the city,
from their antipathy to the Spanish power.; and not
long before, in cold blood, put a Lieutenant-Colonel
Traynor, of the Colombian service, to death; he
had been Morales prisoner of war, but having ascer-
tained that he was one of two desperately brave
officers of the battalion of Carabobo (the British and
Irish Legion united), whb carried destruction into the
Spanish lines at that memorable and decisive battle,
ordered him out to the square, and to be shot before
the Spanish troops, adding, thus shall I treat every
one of the British who falls into my hands; they have
been the occasion of subverting the Spanish power
in Colombia.
" This temporary and sanguinary success of Morales
will soon, very soon, be at an end—himself and his
plunder, with thirty-two vessels, are blockaded in the
lake. Providentially the vessels from England and
America arrived in good time, and stop his progress.
Some of the Colombian fleet are now off the bar of
Maracaybo, and the remainder blockading Porto Ca-
bello, the siege of which has been renewed by General
Paez, with 3,000 men; and these are to secure the
coast from La Guayra to Valencia. There are aV
least 9,000 .men, besides the militia, of volunteer
corps, in La Guayra, Caraccas, San Pedro, Nlaracay,
Victoria, and Valencia.
" Nlaracaybo being blockaded, and Genetal Ma-
riano Montilla having united force, from Carthi-
gene with that of General Urdaneta, at Truxillo, two
days march from Gibraltar, the last port on the Lake,
there is no possibility of escaping. Every part of
Quito is free, and Bolivar, from whom letters had
been received at Caraccas before I left it, on the 20th
of October, was at Popayan."

The Proclamation for the Meeting of Parliament,
on Tuesday, the 4th day of February next, for the
dispatch of business and other weighty matters, was
this morning affixed to the entrance of the Treasury,
and conspicuous places of the Government Offices.

The French Papers of Sunday have reached us.
The only articles of intelligence they contain will be
found in a preceding column. If an article from
Perpignan can be relied on, the feelings of the French
on the Spanish frontier are such as would give little
hope of a successful crusade against Spain. It is
stated that several Officers who had been made pri-
soners at Urgel, and released when the Insurgents
were driven into France, passed through Perpignan.
At first they were roughly handled, having been mis-
taken for the-faithful, but on the discovery that they
belonged to the Constitutional Army, the inhabitants
raised subscriptions for their relief, and even stripped
off their own clothes to supply their wants.
A letter from Madrid states, that the Cortes have
come to a resolution, that the persons to be tried by
the competent Tribunals for the mutiny of the Guards
on the 7th of July, shall not be subject to capital pu-
nishment. This is another proof of the moderation
of the present Spanish Government.
The Journaldes Debats has another argumentative
and pacific article on the question of war or peace, in
which it is well observed, that " no friend to the
cause of Monarchy would commit the fatal error of
wishing for a war with Spain." Another remark is
equally true—that, " in the present state of things,
the imprudent provocations of the friends of war, are
precisely the causes most calculated to excite, against
the BOURBONS of Spain, that popular fury which the
Zurriago has hitherto endeavoured to stimulate."-.
The whole of the article is a temperate answer to those
raving Ultra Journalists who still call out for war.

This morning we received New York Papers to the
20th November, Charleston Papers to the 19th, and
Philadelphia to the 21st November.
YROM THE MERCANTILE ADVERTISER Of soy. 19.
We learn from our correspondent at Baltimore that
Captain 'Chester, arrived at Portland from Marti-
nique, states, that on the 13th ultimo the negroes at
Cm bet, about three miles from St. Pierre, rose and
killed many white people, and wounded several ; and
troops were sent from Fort Royal to assist in taking
the negroes. By information of some of those taken,
it was their intention to murder all the whites.

!ROM THE BOSTON PANNE OE NOVEMBER 13.
By the brig Hope, .Captain Man, from Madras,
we received Papers to the 23th of July, from which
the following are extracts:
A violent storm and inundating rain were expe-
rienced in India early in June, and nearly destroyed
all the indigo plants; a great amount of property has
been lost by the inundations, and also a number of
jives. It was feared that, on the small Chins, the
greatest part of the population had perished. Twelve j
thousand rupees were subscribed at Calcutta for dul
surviving sufferers. The rice harvest has particularly
failed at rilanilla.
Mr. Willoch, the British Chargé des Affaires in'
Persia, had refused to pay the usual tribute, and de-
manded his passports. This has produced a report
that there would be a rupture between England and
Persia. A good understanding is said to have been
bfterwards restored ; and Mr. Willoth left the Per-
sian Court in an amicable manner, to proceed to Eng-
land to consult his Government on an important
point. Mention is made of a Russian Officer having
been discovered in disguise in the neighbourhood of
Dolio. There has been several important failures
among the native merchants, who have speculated
in cotton.
A junk, of 800 or 900 tons, from Amoy, in China,
for Batavia, with 1600 passengers, from the ages of
six to 70, a valuable cargo, and a numerous crew,
Was shipwrecked on the sth of February, on Gosparo
Island, and all but 190 perished; those saved were
taken up by the British ship India. One of the
Noncowrie Islands is said to be occupied by a large
number of Europeans, whe exist as pirates. Several
persons bathing, not far from Calcutta, have been
seized by alligators and sharks.
LATEST PROM COLOMBIA.
A passenger in the George Town Packet has fa-
voured us with Caraccas Papers to the 7th Novem-
ber, which contain no news. He left Laguira on the
16th of October. General Morales had evacuated
Maracaibo, and arrived at Porto Cabello. President
Bolivar and General Devereux were daily expected
at Caraccas, from Quito, when more active measures
would be adopted for the reduction of Porto Cabello.
CALCUTTA, JUNE 14.
A most violent storm burs't over Calcutta on the
night of Friday last, the 7th inst.
• Accounts from Dinapore mention that boats with-
out number have been lost in the Ganges, and the
shores were covered with wrecks.

If the Whiteboys were the only enemies to Ireland
that she contains within her own bosom, we should

not despair of seeing that country restored to tran-
quillity ; but there is, unfortunately, a worse faction
than the Whiteboys—a faction which instigates the
outrages it swears to put down, and •iolates that
peace it professes to protect—this is the Orange fac-

tion. Otir Readers are aware, that through the inter-
ference of the LORD LIEUTINANT and the LORD
MAYOR of DUBLIN, the Orange party could not cele-
brate the 4th and sth of November with those fac-

tious orgies that have formerly disgraced those days
This was a crime not to be forgiven ; and, come;
quently, every insult that malignity could suggest
has been heaped on the LORD MAYOR ; but it was
not until Saturday night that the Orange party could
wreak their vengeance on the LORD LIEUTENANT,
the e Marquis of Wacur4Lev, against whom they were
equally incensed.
On that evening the Noble Marquis visited the
Theatre for the first time during his Viceroyalty, and
the house was crowded to excess. On the appear-
ance of his Excellency in the Viceregal box, he was
received with the customary marks of respect, which
had been uniformly shewn to the Representatives of
Majesty ; but the cheers were soon drowned in the
shouts, hisses, and execrations of the Orange faction,
of which great numbers had posted themselves in the
galleries, for the purpose of insulting the LORD LIEU-
TENANT, if not for the purpose of attempting his life.
During the performance of the play, they continued
shouting and hissing, or otherwise insulting the Illus-
trious Person; but they occasionally cheered Alder-
man DARLIY, and uttered execrations against the
LORD MAYOR. They sometimes cried out for such
party tunes as 44 The Protestant Boys," and 64 The
Boyne Water," while the Roman Catholics, roused
by such provocation, weie equally clamorous for
Garryowen," and " Patrick's Day."
The Illustrious Nobleman remained unmoved and
unaffected by their malicious insults, until towards
the end of the performance, when a bottle was flung
at him from the upper gallery. Fortunately the atro-
cious intention of the assassin was frustrated, as the
bottle only struck one of the pannels of the box, with-
out doing any injury to the Noble Marquis, %hose
life was thus attempted. This in a few moments was
followed by a watchman's rattle, which came closer
to him. All was then confusion, and Mr. JOHN-
bON, his Lordship's Private Secretary, rushed to the
gallery from whence the bottle was thrown, and
assisted by Mr. MILLIGAN, his Excellency's book-
, seller, and Sir JARRAT NEVILLE, succeeded in secur-

A few days ago we deemed it oar duty to. make
some animadversions on the singular charge of Bartni

GRAHAM to the Grand Jury at Hertford; we have
now the more pleasing task of directing the attention
of our readers to the charge of Mr. Justice BAYLEY,
at Maidstone. After noticingthe third Assize, as ad
experiment which ought to be fairly and impartially
tried, and notecmdemned by anticipation, the Learned
Judge says, " There are one or two points upon
which no two persons can differ, and in the justice
' and humanity of which all must agree; those points
are: Ist, that prisoners against whom the evidence
maybe deficient, may as speedily as possible be re-
moved from the dangerous tendency of Prison associa.

by right entitled; and 2dly, that those whose guilt
shall be proven, may be removed from pihson inacti-

may consign them."

Public attention in Ireland has been engaged by a
correspondence between the Earl of GLENGALL, at
the head of five Peers, and more than three hundred
Commoners, composing almost the whole landed in-
terest of the great county of Tipperary, on the one
part, and Mr. JOHN HELY HUTCHINSON, High Sheriff,
a military man, as we have heard; and a near lea-
' lion of the Earl of DONOUGHMORE, on the other.—
Lord GLExciam., speaking in behalf of the Peers and
Proprietors before-mentioned, required the Sheriff to
convene the county for the purpose of petitioning
against the present system of tithes. Mr. HurcniN-
SON refused, assigning as a reason, that he cannrt
think of convoking the county, because the « Gc-
vernment have pledged themselves to consider" the
question of tithes.
Dean PONSONBY, ofSt. Patrick's, has published a

letter in the Irish Papers, stating, that be believes the

any evil intention.

We are happy to learn that very little damage has
been done to the Gas Works, at Canterbury, by the

by drawing the retorts upon a quantity of tar, which
took fire and communicated to the Ventilator or Cu-
pola ; the injury done is estimated at about £lO.
The arrangements for lighting Paris with gas are in
a state of great forwardness. That side of the Palais
