" Mutat W.—Accounts from several quarters here arrived,
confirming the news of MOZILLO'S army sent to oppose BOLIVAR.
and Pan, having been completely defeated, and that Soaves
Was at Sas Mateo, two days 'match from Caracas. They fur-

" Mama 25.—A Gentleman who arrived last evening from'
Martque, reports that the great battle in which Mortt.to had
been so cosnpletely defeated, was fought at Ban Carlos, and that
fdaastau himself was severely wounded. He adds, that the
news had been received both from La Gel a, Puerto Cavell*,
and Guayana, and that Meauto had retreated to Puerto Ca-
vello with all the troops be could muster. The Patriot cruirers
are now In the Gait of Pada, and captured some of the enemy's

Yesterday being the Duchess of Yontes Birth-day,
the same w•as celebrated in the usual manner, at York
House. Her MAJESTY gave an entertainment in the'
evening in honour of the day, the QUEEN being quite
recovered from her late indisposition, am! no Bulk-
`Orrin covisequeence being issued.
Yesterday Prince LEOPOLD came to tore from
Claremont to pay his respects to the Duchess of,
YORK, upon the Anniversary of her Birth-day. His
Royal Highness also paid his dutiful i espects to the
Qualm, the Patrice REGENT, and the Duke and
Duchess of CUMBERLAND.

Sir WALTER STIRLING gave a splendid Rout, last
night at his house in P4ll-Mall.
Mr. PLurrKET is to be opposed at the ensuing elec-
tion for Trinity College, Dublin, by Mr. Caorcen,
the present Secretary to the Admiralty. A very
active canvass has been already commenced on the
part of Mr. CROKER.
It is reported that the Major Generalship of tLe
Marines has been conferred on Vice-Admiral Sir
RICHARD KEATS.

In consequence of an insult offered to Captain Dor-
an?, (late of the sth Dragoon Guards), on Friday last,
in the Court of King's Bench, the parties met yester-
day morning in Epping Forest, attended by Mr. C. A.
Coosa for Mr. FlLtows, and by Colonel MACIRONE
for Capt. DOBBYN. Shots were exchanged without ef-
fect, when further proceedings were prevented by Mr.
Coosa declaring his determination to quit theground,
conceiving that what had passed was sufficient to frame
a satisfactory explanation upon. This explanation
could not be adjusted, on which Captain DinnerN and.
his second insisted on repeating the fire, to which Mr.
Farrows most readily agreed; but his second, Mr.
x Cooe, adhering to his original determination of quit-
ting the field, rendered any further proceedings one
the part of Captain DoesrN and his second utterly
impossible
In the Alrnanacks for this year of the United King-
dom of Sweden and Norway, which have the sane
religion and the same Calendar, it is remarkable
'that in the Swedish Almanack Easter is marked on
the 29th of March, and Whitsuntide on the 17th of
'May • whereas in those of Norwiy, Easter is the
22d Of March. and Whitsuntide on the 10th of May.
The last ships arrived from China, bring no ac-
counts of any misunderstanding between the Chinese
and the English on account of smuggling or other-
wise. These ships left Cantun so late as the 27th of
December, at which time all was harmony with the
Chinese. The reports of a contrary nature which
have lately appeared in the Foreign Journals, are of
course groundless.
We some time time since stated the alarming pro-
gress of the infectious disease in the camp of the Mar-
quis of HASTINGS, in India. It had been gradually.
making its way along the Banks of the Ganges and
the Jumna, and suddenly broke out in the British
camp. In the first day upon which it was distinctly
recognized, 97 deaths were reported ; on the next,
above 500 died in the camp. Never, it is said, was a
scene so dreadful witnessed. The dead and dying
strewed every road.—The remedy which was com-
monly administered upon the first appearance of the
complaint, was a tea-spoonful of laudanum in a glass
of brandy. This in general retarded the progress of
the disorder, and afforded time tor farther care ; but
in many cases the malady was so rapid as to leave no
opportunity for administering medicine. Natives
were seen to fall suddenly, without any previous sen-
sation of illness, and die in a few minutes.

In consequence of some misunderstanding between
Count MONTNOLON and General GOURGAUD, at St.
Helena, the latter has returned to Europe. He came
passenger in the Camden East Indiaman. It is stated
that BONAPARTE peremptorily forbad the decision
of the quarrel by duel. Mr. BALcotst, at whose
house BONAPARTE resided when he first landed, has
also returned to England with his family.
When the last ships left St. Helena, BONAPARTE
still continued in a sour mood, took no exercise, and
refused to see visitors.

Paterson's Road Book scarcely contains the names
of more places than are to be found in the list which
Bran has published of the Prizes he sold last Lottery,
and their various destinations. It is to be had gratis
'at his Offices in town, and of his Agents in the coun-
try, and is really (at least to those interested in Lot-
teries) rather an amusing document.
G. CARROLL has the honour of requesting the early
attention of those who wish for particular or favou-
rite Numbers, to the inconvenience and improbability
of obtaining them if application is delayed till too
near the drawing, when the greatest part of the
Tickets will be Sold. The Scheme of the New Lot-
tery, to be drawn on the KING'S BIRTH. DAY, contains
THREE Prizes of £'20,000, TWENTY Prizes of £lOOO,
More than One Hundred Capitals, and a much smaller
number of Tickets than the Last Lottery. Tickets
and Shares are on Sale at the Mice. of O.CARAOLL,
7, CornhiU, and 20, Oxford-street, there Two Prizes
of 20,0001. and Ten other Capital Prises, have been
Sold during the last Four Months.
