PRIVATE LE/TER.

" Baum', APRIL 4,.

" The wedding of the Princess Fredericke, daugh-
ter of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cumber-
land, took place on the 17th inst. and was celebrated
with great splendour. The bridegroom, the reigning
Duke of Anholt Dessau, is a young man of great
promise, aged 24. The marriage party were at the
Opera on the 19th, when the King conducted the
Princess to her seat in the Royal box, amid the plau-
dits of a most brilliant assemblage, the Court being.
present. On the 21st his Majesty gave a grand mas-
querade at the Opera House on which occasion the
Public were treated with every kind of refreshment :
and last night the brother of the Princess, Prince
Frederick, gave a magnificent ball at his splendid re-1
sidence in William-street, which was lately furnished
for his own marriage with the Princess of Berenburg.
" Next week the august couple go to Potsdam,
whence, after some farther festivities, they will pro-
ceed about the-lst of May for Dessau, the residence
of the Prince.

" The casts of the Phigalian Marbles, sent as a
present by the Prince Regent of England, have just
•arrived and been safely landed. They excite consi-
derable curiosity.
" The rebuilding of our Theatre has commenced,l
after a plan of our famous Architect, &hinkel. It
will be smaller than the one lately destroyed. The'
facade will be decorated with a portico of six Corin-
thian columns, and with a large double staircase,
under which will be the entrance to the boxes ; so
that the company may enter their carriages without
being exposed to the weather. It is expected to be
finished by the Summer of 1819."

A Jamaica Paper one day later than those brought
by the packet has been received by a vessel Iron,
Black River; and we have also received by the New
Phcenix, letters from Trinidad to the 27th of March.
The following are extracts from them, respecting the
state of the Independent cause in the Northern Pro-
vinces of Spanish America :

CUR ACOA, FEBRUARY miL
" Accounts from the Spanish Main state, that Morillo has
been surprised at Calabozo with all his forces, and would pro-
bably have been captured by the Patriots, had not some rein-
forcements seasonably arrived, which enabled him to break
through their line, and arrive at Caraccas. During this operltion
be is said to have esperienced some losses; but he soon rallied
his troops, and taking an advantageous position at La Puerta—
' a spot,' say the Spaniards, destined by PROVIDLIICZ for the
annihilation of the rebels,' he drove back the enemy, and com-
pletely faced them. The half of the Patriotic infantry is said to
be cut to pieces, and their General, Soublette, killed.
" A letter written by General Mullah> to his friend Ueda,
dated Barbacoa, February 17, contains the above, and adds, that
he intended on the night of that day to march (reinforced by
Lopez with 800 men) towards Sombrero, in order to give a fatal
stroke to the enemy, be having previously dispatched orders to
Caizada to begin operations on the Apura. Notwithstanding the
above, we learn from vessels arriving from Puerto Cabello, that
the Patriots having fortified and left a garrison at Calabozo,
were rapidly marching against the capital and its environs; in
consequence of which, San Carlos, all the 'rallies of Aragua, and
Valencia, have been evacuated by the Royalists, who arrived
from all directions in Puerto Cabello."

" TRINIDAD, MARCH 26.

" Since I put my *tier Into the bag, official accounts have
reached us from Angostura of the rejoicings rt that place, in con-
sequence of the signal victory gained over the Spaniards at the
point of the bayonet, in San Fernando de Apure. The l'atriot
Army NUS still in pursuit of the enemy. General Pau bad en-
tered the town,.md his troops only were engaged on this occasion."

" MARTINIQUgs MARCH 14.
" It now appears certain, that the Spanish army under Mo.
ULLA has been completely defeated by BOLIVAR in the province
of Caracas, and that the Royalist Chief arrived at the capital
in a wounded state, and that he attempted to organize fresh
troops, but was unable to gain his point. His Lana project, in
order to r. pair his losses, was to arm 2,000 negroes, but the
Royal Audiencia opposed the measure, fearing that thy would I
Instantly desert to the Independents, and the arms would be lust.
Emigration from La Guira has already comnynced, which is
the he,t criterion of the situation of the Royalists. San Fer-
nando de Apure has 'surrendered to the Patriots after a very
strenuous resistance ; in short, at the date of this, General Bo-
lavas must be in Caracas. The whole of this information has
been broujiht by a vessel that has arrived at St. Pierre from
La Guira.

" PORT SPAIN, MARCH 11.
" A private letter from Martinique mentions that the sloop'
PhLenix was seised at that Island, in consequence of having
negroes on board endeavouring to make their escape ; the Cap-
tain of the sloop, and one or two of the crew, were executed on
Monday, the 9th instant, and three other nu gives, and a mulatto
woman, were whipped and branded under the gallows, for
aiding and assisting them to get off the Island. The same letter
mentions that the Government of Guadaloupe have issued an
Ordnance, stating that all British goods found in the Island,
after four months from its promulgation, would be seized and
sold for the benefit of the Government; and that foreigners
would not be allowed to reside and transact business there. It is
expected the some Ordinance will be put in force in Martinique."

A farther series of American Papers, to the 4th
ult. have arrived.

A Bill to alter the Flag of the United States has
been a second time read in Congress, and ordered
to be engrossed. After the 4th of July, the Flag to
be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white;
the Union to be twenty stars, white, in a blue field;
and, on the admission of every new State, one star
to be added.
The Vicz-Passtnasir of the United States had re-
signed the Chair of the Senate; and an ad interim
successor was to be elected on the 2d ult. Both Houses
of Congress had resolved to adjo4n on the 20th.
Accounts from St. Domingo, 'dated the 17th or.
March last, mention, that CmitsTorus, and perhiipt
rzrioN, are to be put in a state of blockade by the

United States, The giaMici of coinpLiit Stgainsi the

a blow on the face, knocked the negro over the side
of the vessel ; he fell into a boat which was along-
side, and from the injury received in the fall he died.
The sailor was taken, tried, condemned, and shot, in
the space of 24 hours. The Hoaxer sloop of war
was ordered to obtain redress for these grievances,
and in the event of refusal, the American Govern-
ment have expressed th ei fdeterminati on toput the ports
belonging to the two Chiefs in a state of blockade.
