Tuesday night, a small boat coming to the shore from Mr.
JEtvemst's yacht, at anchor off the Sally-port, Portsmouth, in
which were Major Llamas, Mr. DURRII.I., Mr. Jetty:ger, and a
boy, was upset, when Mr. Jeevotsrt swans to the shore, but Ma-
jor Hams, Mr. Dosara.r.' and the boy, were nearly a quarter
of an hour struggling with the tide ere their perilous situation
was sliscevered, when a boat from Mr. lasiseoettes yacht ar-
rived at the spot, and happily rescued them, at the moment
when the gallant Officer. Major Hams, having become ex-
hausted, was sinking. He was raised to the surface by the
Master of Mr. Lwercasat's yacht, with a scull, to whose exer-
tions the highest praise is due. he boy was apparently lifeless
when taken in. It would have been a matter of deep regret bad
the misfortune been attendad with the sacrifice of life to either
of the Gentlemen, but particularly to the gallant Officer alluded
to, after the long career of honourable services which he has
rendered his country us all the great battles of the late war,
which he closed at Waterloo, with the less of his right arm,
when leading an assault on the enemy, at the head of a squadron
of litmus.
Since the visit of the Illustrious Foreigners, we
have had nothing equal to the display of taste and
novelty displayed in . pie Pink and Kensington Gar-
dens yesterday...-iii fact, it to. k precedence of all
other,, in splendour of beauty, and elegance of dress.

KING':, TacaTar..—The Opera of 11 Barbieri di
Setvia was performed on Saturday evening with

by :he Ballet cf Le Petite Chaperon Rouge. In the
brilliant circle were their.Eoyal Highnesses the ?tin-
ces, Auausra, chess of KIST, Duke of Gun:-
l
CESTaIt, and a I f e
list of first-rate Nobility-
HAYMARKET.-- The Play of the Stranger was re-
peated iin Saturday evenirg, with, if possible in-
crea,ed success. Mrs. CLIFFORD'S ,i Fs. Haller proves
herself an acquisition to the London stage; and Mr.
C. Kunst!, as the Stranger, is completely effective.
ENGLISH OPRRA-HOUSIL—Mr. MATHEWS closed a
most successful season on Saturday, on which occa-
sion he delivered, with much feeling, the following
Address, ‘, inch was warmly applauded:
a Lames aim Gzercsatex---My task for the evening being
finished, it now only remains for me tta hid you farewel. This
is the last time, for many months to come, that I shall have the
honour and pleasure of appearing before you. 1 would fain
snake you merry at parting, but I feel it impossible to leave
Such kind friends, even for a time, without a sensation here— 1
(Layirg his band on his heart, with considerable emmion)—that
prohibits an attempt at a mirthful leave taking. That I may .
not, therefore, throw the same cloud over you which at this
moment overshadows me, I will merely entreat that you will'
not forget me in my absence ; and beli ye that, though the
Atlantic must part us, it is utterly impossible that I can ever
forget how deeply I am indebted to your flattering and unwearied
patronage. I trust to be enabled to bring back a new budget
for your amusement, and all soy powers of observation shall
be roused to their utmost to collect such materials ir. my tra-
vels as shall prove that I have not absented myself from your
smiles in vain."

Abbott (Chief Justice), Lord Sidmouth and family, Lord and

Nolan ROAD.—Mr. Texrdito, the celebrated road-
surveyor, has received orders to survey the road be-
tween Newcastle and Edinburgh, by Coldstream,
Kelso, &c. Should a road be made that way, it will
save eleven miles.

DUEL.-A duel took place early yesterday morn-
ing between J. W.—, Esq. and Captain Cs—, when,
in the second exchange, the former was struck in the
vain, and at present lies in so dangerous a emulation
that there is no hope of recovery. The dispute is said
to have originated in a joke, succeeded by some sati-
r :cal verses un a Lady.

dollars and 200 bates of cochineal, for merchants. She expe-
rienced strong south-west winds on the passage, until she came
within the latitude of the Western Islamic. fly her we learn
that the Spanish Royalist troops still maintain themselves in gar-
rison; in this isolated citadel of Vera Cruz, which fort com-
prises all that Old Spain now holds of what she once proudly
called " The Indies." The remainder of the Royalist troops
have concentrated at the Havanna!), in which city and its de-
pendencies, several thousand European soldiers are in arms ;
notwithstanding which force, a daily rising of the Blacks was
expected ; Indeed, recently, three large estates had revolted ,
against their masters, and secretly small bodies of troops were
marched Into the interior, with a view of pursuing the runaway
negroes, the Spanish Authorities not being willing openly to
acknowledge the danger. It was uncertain what Power would
be invoked to protect the Island of Cuba in case of a Revolu-
tion—the Americans and the English were equally certain their

the 33d Regiment suffered much immediately on its arrival front
