" Griego, Island of Margaretta, Jute 18.
" The Hornet anchored in the evening of the 10th instant at
Pani7atar Roads, in front of the ruined tillage and fort. The
Conunandant being apprised of the character and object of the
visit, tracsmitted the information to General Gomez, who sent
a very polite Note to Captain Read, by the Sub-Governor's
Aid, inviting him and Mr. Irvine, tke. Bcc. on shore, tovisit the.
Assumption where he resides. They set off to pay their visit
from the Commandants on mules provided for them, accom-
panied by the Commandant and the OfSrers. I also received'an
invitation, and formed one of tie party. Our roue lay through
willies, and over some minor hills among the stupendous moun
tabu. It was a defile commanded by batteries on the heights,
at every convenient point. Arri 'rid at Assumption, which the
Spaniards left in ruins, we enjoyed the prospnt of a pleasant
valley, finely cultivated, forming a complex contrast with the
arid mountains that surround it. Governor Gomez received the
visitors from the, Hornet at his quarters vrith•mech civility, and
after they had Partaken of refreshments of fruits, wine,kc. they
remounted their mulsc, General Gomez having had orders to
escort Captain Read a•mi company to Griego, on the north side
of the Island, where Admiral Brion hadarrived. _

" Our cavalcade was augmented by Sub-Governor's staff-
officers, a couple of Amems (horsemen armed a-la-mode de
Cossack with a I:ince) preceding us, As It was a leisure time
with me, and finding myself an happy in the company of Arne-
ricar.s, a pleasure I bad not enjoyed since my residence here, I
was easily prevailed on to continue one cf the party.
We appeared like warlike cavaiiers, excepting some c1e:1
gentlemen like your humble servant, who were not accoutered
in military style; and I guess you would have laughed at the
parade. However I never experienchd any thing more interest-
ing than the tide across the Island. Passing along the vale,
General Gourey pointed cut the spot, r battery on a height to
the left, where the gallant natives first began their resistance to
the Spaniards. Their only weapans were stones and sticks,
with which they annoyed the enemy from above—' Furor arena
ministrat.' The resilt you know was propitious. Ascending
the central mountain, we found on its top a gate, foss*, and
drawbridge, with a artall battery to the right, which commands
the road on both shies, so that this position is very strong. The
view is enchanting from this scita,embracing the valley on either
side.; en the north, quite to the ocean, with the vessels at an-
chor in this harbour. Descending into the valley, we were met
soon after by a detachment of cavalry, dispatched by the Go-
vernor-General to escort Captain Read and company to °rt.:go.
Within five or six miles of it, we passed through the village of
Pciblo del Norte, the only one, as: I was informed, which has
escaped the Spanish conflagration. As soon as the company
alighted, Captain iLad and Mr. Irvine were introdveed to Ad-
miral Briou and General Aristnendi, &c. &c. drawn up in form
to receive them ; the whole population crowding around them.
An English band instantly struck up Yankee Doodle, and a e.
lute was bred from the batteries.

" Captain Read and Mr. Irvine were much gratified with the
conversation of Admiral Brion and General Arismendi. With
the latter I talked a little Spanish, not of the best quality, and
ke patiently received bad lingo for good. He indignantly recited
some instances of Spanish cruelty, which spared neither animal
nor vegetable; mail, woman, nor child; house nor hut. The
Royalist, actually made a practice of burying children, of va-
rious' ages, head downwards in pits, their heels in the ale, and
leaving them to expire. Of ripping up pregnant women—mu.
tasting of legs and arms, &c Ste. and hanging them up in <ages
—of drawing a crowd into houses and then burring them in the
flames—but the most common mode was, and is, to cut the
throats of all they took, or take.. alive—an economical plan of
saving gunpowder, fuel and labour. Hanging on the gallows,
they sometimes tried, for vanity's sake. I suppose. Every hut
they burned; every fruit tree they cut down. At this place th.y
cut down a fine row of cocoa-nut trees, and then, in blind rage,
commenced felling the manchineel, whose fruit and leaves are
so poisonous ; two hundred of their isoldieits lost their sight by
chopping down manchineels in. this 'kinky, and were sent to
Spa, where they have leisure to use %he service of Ferdinand.

" Whilst the only obstacle I,l;:ich opposed oat

the measures which we adopted in order to mainnia

hesitate to take the first step, and we shall be always
mildly and honourably disposed to sacrifice err

our dissections without any effusion of blood, and to
introduce a new order of affairs which shall be jast

" Our first duty, and our chief desire is, to laboer
with all our might for the happiness of the Hayti.=
people, in order that they may enjoy all the advan-
tages which they have a right to expect from a just
and paternal Government, to introduce public in-
struction, to make religion, the arts and wive es,
commerce, and agriculture Sourish ; but to succeed
effectually internal tranquillity must be consolidated.
" We have been informed that malcontents, vho
wish to see the horrors of civil war renewed, hare
raised a report, that under the pretext of visiting the
kingdom, we shall (profiting by new circumstances
that have occurred) march an army against Porwe
Prince, whereas the real object of the tour which ve
are now making in the kingdom, accompanied 11
our family,.''ls to inform ourself, by means of c/
own observation, of situation of the people, and
of culture, to give effect to the laws, to ord.c:,

degree of address in working upon the feelings of
others, while they can keep thensselves tree fro
every emotion.

It must be self-evident that the task of superin-
tending the affairs of such a people by a distant Go-
vernment is not an easy one ; and that this is ren-
dered the more difficult by the impossibility of the
Governor, when a new one is appointed; speedily ac-
quiring a thorough knowledge of the dispositions of
the people and the best means of managing them;
' for this is a species of knowledge only to be acquired
by experience.

From all that we have been able to learn, we feel
much inclined to subscribe to an opinion erpresse4
in the Times of this morning that Ceylon ought long
ago to have been.placed under the direct controul of
the Governor-General of India. The good old cause
of Ministerial patronage might, to be sure, have suf-
fered a little by the change ; bnt on its expediency
and projriety there is not amongst well-informed
men au adverse or second opinion.

We have received, this morning, Papers from Up-
per and Lower Canada to the 3d of August.
His Grace the Duke of RICHMOND, who has gone
out with the new appointment of Governor-General
of British North America, accompanied by Sir Ps-
REURINE MAITLAND, the new Governor of Upper
Canada, arrived in the IPmessit.e., at Quebec, on the
29th ultimo.

From the party discussions with which the Upper
Canadian Papers are filled, it would appear that his
Grace is likely to have an early and very proper op-
portunity of putting the efficacy of his new appoint-
ment to the test. The inhabitants of Upper Canada
have had another meeting, undef the title of a Con-
vention at York, when they came to the following
,Resolutions, RICHARD Benstsy, Esq. in the Chair:.

" Ilasotvao--1. That whilst this Convention holds it one of
the most sacred rights of British subjects, a all times directly
to petition the Throne of their Sovereign relative to their griev-
ances, yet nevertheless, under the present peculiar existing cir-
cumstances of this country, the Members of this Convention, as
well out of respect to that Honourable Body the Commons
House of Assembly of Upper Canada, as for other causes, deem
it their most indispensable duty, on this important occasion, to
recommend in the strongest terms to their Fellow Subjects
resident in this Province, a spirited, formal and respectful agpll-
- to that Honourable House, for an Enquiry boo the State
of the Province.

" 2. Tn a John Clark Cyrua Sumner, and Roderick Drake,
Esquires, be a permanent Committee, for the mir.aitment of
the aff.drs of the Convention, and that they, as soon as may be
practicable, prepare a respectful Petition, praying for enquiry
and expressive of grievances (for the sanction of this Cnovesr
tion), to be by them circulated for Subscribers, and presented
at the liar of the House of Assembly at their ,next ensuing
Session.

e‘ 3. Thu the said Gastonia*e be farther authorised- to frame
Addres to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, en the
subject of grievances believed to vast In Upper Canada ; which,
when approved Al by this Convention, shall 5: submitted hi
the Committee, together with the Petition aboveMen'tiOne4, to
the Honourable the House of Assembly, at their rest meeting,
far their alteration and amendment."

Mr. Gouni.f.y, who has had so instrumental a
haad in instigating these proceedings, is stated to
have been arrested and held to bail, at Kingston, for
distributing a printed account of the state of griev-
ances of the people of the Niagara District; and this
by direction of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL of the Pro.
vince, who is reported, but we have no doubt very
erroneously, to have influenced the Justice who signed
the warrant, by certain threats of vengeance if he
refused. Another report is mentioned as being in
circulation, namely, that official instructions have
sent to particular Magistrates, to take notice of,
and transmit to Government, the names of all per-
sons holding Commissions, civil or military, who en-
gage in the measure of petitioning the PRINCE RE-
GENT, as recommended by Mr. GOURLAY, in order
that they may be removed from their offices. Whe-
ther this report has crept into circulation from acci
dent, or has been propagated to intimidate persons
from petitioning, or has been maliciously designed
to cast reproach upon the Administration, we have
no hesitation in regarding it as alike slanderous and,
foolish. It is at once a folly and a slander, to repre-
sent that the Administration could stoop to the em-
ployment of a set of official informers and spies, tb
watch and inform against his MAJESTY S svbjects,
for any purpose whatever; and most of all for so
base a purpose as that of wreaking vengeance upon
them for exercising their acknowledged and unques-
tionable right of petitioning.

Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Ltovp's at
Buenos Ayres, dated 6th June :—" The Lautaro (late'
the Windham) which sailed for Valparaiso the end of
April in search of the Emeralda Spanish frigate, fell
in with and took her by hoarding ; but from the con-
fusion on board the Lautaro, the ships were allowed
Ito separate, and the boarders, about 30 in number,
including Captain O'Bitiv.i4, were overpowered and
killed. The Lautaro had returned to Valparaiso, and
expected to sail soon for Talcahuana, in Lima." .

We give to-day some farther interesting extracts
from the American Papers, received yesterday.
General JACKSON, it will be observed, has been,
received on his return from his war of pillage and
extermination in the south, with all the pomp and
circumstance of a Great Conqueror. The Republican

of their own. The country tliey have Occupied is'
part of a territory which has been lonz in dispute be-
tween Spain and the United States—the latter claim-
ing it as part of Louisiana, and the former denying
that it was included in the cession of that province.

Haytian Gazettes have been received to the 12th
of June, from which we have given in a preceding
column an interesting Address by King Hmtv to
the Haytians, of the south and west. His Majesty
denies a report, circulated in the American Papers,
that he was approaching the territory of the late
rrrioar with any military views, but proposes cer-
tain terms of union to the people of that 'division of
that Island, which will strongly try their fidelity to
the new President, BOYER.

A Dutch Mail arrived this morning and brought
Letters and Journals to the 29th August. The in-
telligence from Holland presents nothing new, and
the German news in these Papers has been mostly
anticipated by former arrivals:

FRANKFORT, AUGUST 23.

The first division of the equipages of his Majesty
the Emperor of Austria, consisting of 15 carriages
and 76 fine horses, have passed through this city on
the way to Aix-la-Chapelle.

The hope of a fine vintage has caused a great f4ll
in the price of wines, even of the mine of 1811.

We learn from Vienna, that it appears from an
official Report of the Commissioners of the Sinking
Funds that the 208 millions of Redemption Bonds
created in 1811, were reduced to 171 millions at the,
beginning of January, 1818. Since that time it,is
stated that 20 millions of Redemption Bonds have
been destroyed, so that the remaining sum will hardly
amount to 151 millions at the next annual settlement.
—This shews how earnestly and successfully the Go•
vernment exerts itself to restore the credit of the
paper currency. The 250 millions of Anticipation
Bonds will be redeemed by the outstanding and cur-
rent taxes (the first amount to above 50 millions),
and by the purchase of Bank Shares.
We learn from Carlibad that the Austrian Aulic.
Counsellor Gina will go to Aix-la-Chapelle, to be
present there dtiring the Congress.
It is said that the Diet will adjourn for four weeks,
in the course of next month, and that the Ministers
will go in the mean time to Aix-la-Chapelle.

The .Paris Papers of Saturday arrived this fore-
noon, hdt contain nothing important. The Duke of
Wect.INGTOX, as was expected, left Paris on Ftiday
morning for Colmar.--Five per Cenci. Friday; .72
francs 75 cents.

The letters. from Manchester, received by the Wail
this morning, state, that there is every; probability of
the C6mbination among the Cotton Spinners being
forthwith dissolved. On Saturday morning the High
Constable seized upon the Committee who have had
the direction of the business ; five of them were car-
ried before the Magistrates, and have been commit-
ted to stand trial for a Conspiracy.—This seizure
appears to have had an intimidating effect on the
great body of the refractory, many of whom express-
ed their determination on Sunday, previous to the

starting of the Mail, to return to work next day at
their old rate of wages.

The Bahama-Royal Gazette of Juni 13, states, that
the yellow Ewe' had broken out at the Havannah, and
ras making extenive ravages. The intelligence was
brought to the port of Nassau by the Primrose sloop
of war, Captain PIIILLOTT, Commander.
According to tellers from Bencoolen to the 23d of
March, that place has been visited by an earthquake.
The shock was felt on the 18th of March, not only
on diore, but to a considerable distance at sea • but
we do not learn that any considerable mischief was
occasioned by this sudden and awful visitation.

Among the military trophies now displayed in the
Chapel Royal, at Whitehall, are the colours taken in,

It is understood that the Hon. the Court of Direc-
tors of the East-India Company have it in contem-
plation to sanction the establishment of a regular
course of Lectures on the Hindostanee language, in
London, at which all the Gentlemen proceeding to
India, under their patronage (who have not access to
other Oriental institutions), will be expected to attend
at least two months. The Lectures will commence

early in October.
