S fUTGARD, NQVEMBER 2.

This city would now scarcely be known by thnte
who have not seen it for the last ft,ur or five years, it
has gained so much within that pet iod both in point
of beauty and extent. The marshy mead.tws, sluate
betmeen the old town and the Necker, have been
conve:ted into a beautiful pack, which is open to the
public, and very much freqttented. They work at
it constantly ; several new streets have been opened,
and the suburbs are extending, The Royal castle or
residence surpasses, in magnificence, any thing of the
kind in Germany, and the great theatre is about to
be embellished.

Our city also contains several persons of science
and letters, and some distinguished artists, and they
receive much encouragement from the Court.

" SIR, " Valetta, t 7th July, 1111.
6' Yesterday I was calkd to the office by the Acting
Public Secretary, Mr. Laing, in the name of your
Excellency. He spoke to me respecting the book sent
to you—the dlitjteal: of the Aroltility aad People of Malta
—4nd of the proffered Petition, under date of the
28th February, lulu, to his Majesty the King of
Great Britain, our elected Sovereign, and made many
observations (several of which did not apply to the
question), and he even 'told me that my respectable
house was very much esteemed by the late Sir Alex.
Ball, and that in his lifetime I did not dare to act in
such a manneri and, reproaching me, h.; baid, that
the demands (as stated in our appeals) was a crime
which exterded even to make us guilty f refractori-
ness and public disturbance, and that I had reason tb
dread the consequences.
" Refractory in out selves and disturbers of the
public we cannot be ; neither can the shadow of
crime fall on us, since the appealing to the Sovereign,
the Father of his People, never was, mod now, in any
part of the world, arbitrarily imputed as a trim!. If
we are blamed for not sending our appexls through
the regular channel sf the Government of Malt t,
such a proceeding ought to be attributed to our igno-
rance of English customs, and to nothing else, Our
aim is only the recovery of our rights, to render our
country happy, and inseparably to root the attactl.
ment of our countrymen to the Crown of his Majesty,
and to remove every ground of apprehension in our
• minds fir the future. For ten years we have peace-
'ably waited. We do not speak of the Governor, but
of the form of Gower/mem adopted since the first mo-
ment of the• surrender of the city.
44. Of the honourable character of your Excellency
We never doubted, and we protest that we have for
your person the highest consideration and esteem.—
If your Excellency forbid! us to prosecute the Petition,
already begun, addressed directly to the King in
C ourcil, to be sent through the lawful channel of
your Excellency, conformably to the instructions
given us in the answer of his Excellency the Minister,
Lord Liverpool, to our former Petition, we shall be
ready to accept in writing your coormands.—l have
the honour to be, &c. (Signed)

Paris Papers tolhe 13th, being one day later than
those of yesterday, were received this morning. With
the exception of the return of NAPOLEON and his Con.
sort to Paris, there is little of political interest in the
extracts, which we have given hi our columns of
to-day. •

Letters and Pape: s to the 2lth Sttember from
Jamaica have arrived in town. They comprise in-
telligence from the Caraccas to the beginning of
the same month, according to which it appears tl'at
the dispatches sent by General MIRANDA to the
Congress of Venezuela, and the subsequent pro-
ceedings of that body, were calculated to give a false
colour to the intentions a ad proceedings of the revolu-
tionary party. It is stated, that on entering Valencia,
after its surrender, when the troops composing the
garrison were willing to lay down their arms, General
MrRANDA erdered his army to put them to the sword,
and some thousands are said to have perished., Regu-
lar possession having been given to the army of Ca-
raccas, the inhabitants of Valencia, irritated by repeat-
ed cruelties, rose upon their oppressors. They were
however unsuccessful, and many public executions
were the consequence.

On the 22d August, 1200 men, under the com
mild of an Aid•de•Camp of General TV --IitANDA, at-
tacked a strong fort adjacent to Valenci.t, which had
not surrendered with the city, and after a severe con-
flict it was taken.

On the 30th August, the ComMander in Chief of
the Revolutionary troops marched, with about 7000 'I
men, against the provinces of Coro and Maracaybo.—
Ic left a garrison of more than 2000 men in Valen_
cia, to preserve subordination there.' The natives of
these two districts are represented to be much alarmed
at the advance of the overwhelming force under Ge-
neral MIRANDA, as their whole strength did not ex-
ceed 3000 men, who were ill provided, and greatly
disheartened. Under these circumstances, it is sup-
posed that they will fall an easy conquest to the friends
f the new order of things.

The intelligmee from Jamaica itself is rather im-
portant. Several individuals, besides those noticed
on former arrivals, had been arrested there, upon
some of whom were found proclamations arid letters
from CinuslOVllE, Emperor of Hayti.
In this 'situ ttion General MotuusoN, Lieutenant_
Governor, dating the absence of the Duke of MAW.
(.tIE.STEn, had thought it necessary to issue public no-
tices on the subject. Suspicions were entertained that.
large exports of arms front Jamaica to St. Domingo
had lately been made, and against this practice like-
wise an Official Order had been issued, and art csts
had been made under its authority.

The Jamaica papers are f►lled with the names of
vessels captured in the Gulph of Mexico by French
privateers, particularly in the Mona Passage. No
less than fifteen Vessels wore taken in the short space
cf a fortnight. The idarengo and Duke of Dantaic
,Ere particularly successful ;-and the former, besides
capturing th'e Pelican, had ransacked a Spanish
schooner to the value of 5E14,000 sterling in dollars.
The enemy's ships in general were so admirably cal-
culated for this service, that by their swift sailn they
had hitherto.eluded the British cruizers.

TEE ARMY.

This diy the London and Edinburgh Shipping
Company's smack Pilot, Captain SANDERSON, sailed
from Miller's Wharf for Leith, hating on board a
party of the 75th regiment, for Edinburgh, and up-
wards of 20 volunteers, for different regiments in
Scotland.

It was the 75th regiment, and not the 1.5 h (as in-
serted by mistake in a farmer paper) that are form-
ing a 2d Battalion.—The Ist Battalion of this fine
regiment, 800 strong, is now on its way to Sicily.
Major-General Titsox relinquished the command
of the Garrison at Dover yesterday.--General 13ne-
Low is expected to succeed him in the command at
that place.
The 3d and last division of the King's County
Militia marched on Wednesday from Plymouth for
Maidstone, in Kent.

BoxitrAnTE begins to writhe under the effects of
the numerous desertions which are daily taking place
among his hireling troops. The clumsy fabrication
of a discharge of a foreign soldier from our service,
given in the STAR of yesterday, will no doubt be re-
echoed throughout Europe ; but to those in the least
acquainted with the Government of this country, the
absurdity of enrolling a soldier's discharge in the
Court of Chancery, will speak for itself.

The Kt go continues much the same.

THE PRINCE REOENT.—We are happy to say, the
account from Oatlands yesterday was, that his Royal
Highness had a tolerably-good night, was freer from
pain, and had less inflammation than on Tuesday.
The LORD CHANCELLOR is still so severely indis-
posed, that he is unable to attend the business of the
Court. Lord ERSKINE is also indisposed, and, we
are sorry to add, considered in some danger.
Mr. WELLESLEY Pore met with an accident last Sa-
turday. While in the Board-room of the Commis-
sioners (4. Compensation in Dublin, a book-case, tilled
with book, fell on his head, and cut him very severely.
He was likely, however, to recover soon.

A pirate letter from Lisbon, of the 30th ult. says,
that Marshal BEttisronn is much improved in hcahh,
and was going up to the grand army from Cintra.
Lord KING, it is said, has refused to receive Bank-
notes in payment of his rent, from a Bank Director,
who is his Lordship's tenant, and has brought an ac-
tion against him.
A reconciliation has taken place between the
Duchess of MARLBOROUGH and her son the Marquis
of BLANDFORD, after a lapse of 18 years. Her Grace,
when languishing on a bed of sickness, and in ex-
treme danger, sent off an express to White Knights,
the Noble Lord's Hunting Lodge, in Berkshire, re-
quiring his immediate attendance at Blenheim. The
meeting took place a few days since, when a most
interesting scene ensued, and all parties were ren-
dered happy.
. . . . . .

Prince- -D'AnEstaxne, taken in the late action by
General HILL, is brother-in-law to Prince STAHREM-
BRIM, late Ambassador from the Emperor of Austria
to this country, who married his sister. He had a
Dukedom from inheritance in the Austrian Nether-
lands, and is a Prince of the late German Empire.
The romour of an embargo in the American ports
was again revived yesterday on the Royal Exchange,
but it rested on no better foundation than former re-
ports on the same subject.
A copy of a dispatch from General BALLASTEROS
has been received in town, in which that Commander
particularly adverts to the state of affairs in the im-
mediate neighbourhood of Cadiz. A Guerilla party
had entered Puerto Real, had destroyed the battery
at that place, and had taken twelve prisoners. The
French were wholly inactive in the same neighbour-
hood. A letter from a French gentleman at Xerez,
mentions, that the Patriots not only approached the
walls, but actually entered the place, so that his coun-
trymen consider themselves not only besieged in the
town, but assailed even in their own houses by the
disaffected inhabitants, who, he adds, had hitherto
escaped the vigilance of the police.
A Guerilla party under D. CAMILLO GOMEZ, con-
sisting of 110 cavalry, were surprised in the town of
Pedroneres,by a party of 200 of the enemy who art ived
after a march of seven leagues. The Spaniardslost
abour qo men in killed and prisoners. It is said that
Sou= in the different actions sinet he has entered
Valencia, has lost.about 500 men, and that the utmost
zeal and enthusiasm prevailed throughout the whole
province for the extirpation of this sanguinary foe.
COVENT-GARDEN 'filEATite.—After another' in-
teresting representation of Measure for Measure, at this
Theatre a new vocal performer made his appearance
lin the Musical Drama of Paul and Virginia. His name
!is BROADHURST. He played the part of Paul, and
his voice is, in cinality, a counter-tenor, but it cloth
not involve sufficient body to fill this Theatre. 1-le
is not destitute of feeling, but nature hath denied him
isufficient ability to succeed IsicLznotr, the lost favou-
rite, and especially in this pa:4 where the invocatory
song is• so materially dependent upon the fullness ofII
expression. Of the commanding energy and powerful
melody of INCLEDON, Mr. BROADHURST is incapable
of giving even a tolerable imitation.
LYCEUM-THEATRE.—The popular Farce of Raisins
the Wind was last night performed at this Theatre,
the new piece of the Rejection, although announced
for repetition in the bills of the day, having been most
properly withdrawn in deference to the Public opi-
nion. Mr. LEWIS bustled through Jeremy Did/er
with astonishing ease and gaiety, the character being
better fitted to his powers than most of those which
to has hitherto attempted. Mrs. ORDER in Miss
Plainway was playful and correct, and all the other
characters were supported in a superior manner.
Mr. Monk Lawn is Nothing a grand Opera for the
introduction of the new quadruped performer of Co-
vent-garden Theatre. It is to be called the Zlethant
and Castle !

13y letters from Nottingham of the 20th instant,
it appears that the workmen, being kept in awe
by the Local Militia and a strong military force,
have altered their mode of proceedings. Instead
of their former boldness, they commit their depreda-
tions by stealth. On the Isth, they suddenly ap-
peared at Old Retford and New Retfird, where they
broke some frames, and instantly retned., On the
19th they set fire to some baystads near Sneuton,
one of which was consumed. The premises, which
it was also their intention to destroy, were preserved.
