CURACOA, Fr.I3RLI.%ItY 9.

Ilia Majesty's brig Swallow arrived on Thursday, from La-
guira. I.ly private letters, we learn that there was little com-
mercial lniAness doing either at Laguira or Caraccas, and scarcely
any produce to be had. The Goveniment of Caracas has or-
dered that the male population, front ten to fifty years, shall
saki up arms in defence of the country.
Captain Ilcuicy, who is arrived front Ilavannah, reports that
there was a party at liavannah that openly countenanced the
pirates fitted out there, and that the division of panics tut this
subject produced there a state of anarchy.

DEATH -OF TILE RECORDER OF LONDON.—This
morning Sir JOHN SYLVESTER was found dead in his
bed, at his house in Elloomlbury-square by his valet:
he was quite cold, and is supposed to have died in
..he middle of the night. Sir Joint was walking out
Jul ing yesterday morning, and dined in the afternoon
with his Royal Highne►s the Duke of Youtc, at
his house in the Stable--yard, St. James's. He'
returned home last night, at twelve o'clock, and
retired to rest immediAtely. He is stTposed to have
died of a spasmodic affection, to which he had for
some time been subject. He was nearly tip years of
age. It is supposed that he will be succeeded by the
COMMON SEHJEANT.

DUEL.—On Tuesday forenoon, about eleven o'clock, a meet-
ing took place at Auchtertool, near Ba!mato, in Fifeshire, be-
tween Sir ALEXANDER BURWELL, of Aucheolec!.., But. and haw
STUART, Esq. of Dunearn. Sir ALEXANDER was attended by the
lion. Jolts Doi:GaAs, brother of the Marquis of QUERXSZEIIRT
and Mr. STUART by the Earl of Bossism. The parties fired by
signal, and Sir ALEXANDER received his antagonist's shot in the
spine. Sir ALEXANDER was carried to Balmuto House, where
be was attended by Lady Boswect, Professor THOMIPON, and
several surgeons of the first eminence. The ball had not been
eitracted on Wednesday ; and though Sir ALEXANDER was still
alive, yet he was cor.sidetel in extreme danger; indeed, the
,spine has been so severely injured as to leave no hopes of re-
covery. Various rumours are afloat as to the cause of the quer;
rel : some state that it was in consequence of a libel witch ap-
peared in the Beacon, a newspaper of infamous celebrity ; but we
believe that the obnoxious paragraph appeared In the Glasgow
Sentinel, the Editor of which gave 'up the author. Mr. STUART,
and his second, the Earl of ROSSLYN, left Scotland for town as
soon as the duel was over.

Yesterday, at a quarter before one o'clock, his MA-
JESTY left his Palace, in Pall-Mall, for Brighton.
The Marchioness of LONDONDERRY had a splendid
