Rear. Admiral Dnuglas has Riven publ* nntiee of
a proclamation published at the' Caraccas. by,' Don
Salvador Mori. Brigadier General. and Captain Pe-
mtral of the Provinces; reEitiie to the bluelsadv of
Margaretta. which will be found to be of a most le.'
minus ?tome.

'Ch
e Proclamation contmences by Ftit;, that every
Spanish vessel encountering another. .of the same na-
tion in affording assieatire to the insurgents in arms
at isbagaretta, carrying men. arms, ammunition and
naval stores, or of any other kind, to them, shall be
tOtigSea ed and forfeited, and the master and other
principal heads g
hun aft at the yard arms,. and the
lors and crew! one drawn oat of five; if they are not
(mind as culpable as the rest,. otherwise to nndergn
an equal fate t the Lime will be observed with regard
to any other foreign vessel: and crews • for, as the Spa-
niel: nation is at full peace with all the rest, it is not
• to be supposed that they can with any propriety, af-
ford assistance to traitors, nor to permit themselves
similar inmertations, as all those who find them. +
selves in this case must be considered as pirates and
public assassins, excepting those vessels .herewith
some lirn:tatitn must take place with respect to their
registers of navigation. The proclamation, of which
the above is the substance, is °flitted every where to
iv made pablic.
With all the efforts, however, of the victorious
Royalists, they have not been enabled to subdue the
.islaud of Margaretta, which still earninues to make a
su cessful res:stance. The last attack upon the place
vas by an expedition consisting of 500 men of the re.
in-ent of the Union, when, strange to tell, the whole
v ere killed, together with the 17 officers who com-
te ended them. By the last accounts, the whole
island was in possession of the independents, who had
aired large sums to those who would furnish them
sueplies of aims, ammunition, and provisions.
General Saran', the commander of the Indepen-
cleat; of Venezuela, .has taken the city of -Barieas,
-and has a large force of cavalry with him.
it will be recollected that some stir was made in
tf.e House of Commons last year relative to the Go.
vet nor of Gibraltar having presumed to give up to
the Spanish government four persecuted Spaniards,
who had thrown themselves under the protection of
the British at that place We now learn, with peen.
liar satisfaction, that the British Government inter-
fered with the Spanish Government in behalf of these
unfortunate Spaniards, who had been consigned to
banishment to Ceuta, and with success. The Spa.
&lads, whose names are Don Jose Corms Madariago,
Juan G.. Rostio, Juan Parbel Castillo, Juan Pablo
Ayala, were, by the last accounts, at Kingston,
where they have published the correspondence pre-
ceding their liberation. Of the British nation they
Speak with unbounded gratitude. • They proclaim,
that their restitution to society is the effect of the
excellence of the English constitution, the integrity
of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, and the
noble patriotism of the Parliament of Great Britain.
Their gratitude, they say, requires that the whole
worlihshould know the extent of their obligations to
. the British Government and its Magna Charta.
' Here follow letters Nos. 1,2, and 3. The first is
from Pedro Cevallos to his Excellency the Minister
Genital of the Indies. stating the circumstances of
the. Spaniards having been given up, and the appli•
ratites of the British Government fur their restitution.
This• letter concludes as follows
•'As his Majesty desires to prove the very great
regard he entertains for his Royal.Higliness the Prince
'Regent of England, who has taken so much interest
lir this matter, it has been resolved that these subjects
be delivered in Gibraltar to the disposition of the Bri-
tish Government, which I communicate to you by
order of the King, for your information, and your
compliance therewith."
'No. 2 is from his Excellency Mr. Vaughan, Mi.
!sister Plenipotentiary of his Britannic Majesty, to
Messrs. Madtiago and Co.. acquainting them, that
although they had not been slelisiered up at Gibnitar,
as promised by the SpanisliGoverntnent, that event,he
trusted, could.not long be delayed, as he liad received
fresh end most positive assurances that the orders of

The fair annually held at Poitiers has attracted
many visitors. consequently comnkrcial transactions
have multiplied; they have sold more cloth than at
any' former fair ; iron work, which tell in price a year
since, ls ni• found a quick sale; hijouterie and tnnketb
have produced profits upon the same scale as at pre.
ceding fairs; muslins and linens have experienced a
rise ht consequence of foreign exportation ; woollen
slugs have sold well ; ironmonger's goods, cutlery,i
and leather, have been subject to considerable specu-
latii;t. Books. plates, &c. china, porcelaine, and
crockery, have not been purchased. The.horses were.
numerous. but not of superior mt. and the sale was
satisfactory; very few mules, sheep and hogi, were
brought to the fair. The supply of bullocks left
nothing to desire, and they'si.l.l a; well as could be
expected. The fair was remarkable for good order,
and the confidence iu which all the destlings were
conducted.

M. Lata pie, formerly a glover at Tnlouse, died cm
the lith instant, in chit city. aged 115 years. He re-
tained the use of all his faculties to the last moment
of his life. On Wednesday, they observed that he
did not attend mass according to his custom, and
going into his apartment they found him on his
knees by the side of his bed, in the attitude of prayer.
It was soon discovered that he was in a dying state,
and his friends laid him unon his bed, but he expired
very soon after in the arta of his daughter.
