The remainder of the 2ci goyal Steterin
embarked on Satdrday at Portsmouth, for
Wednesday-, the depot of the 2d Regiment of Foot
marched into Winchester, from Southampton, where
they had landed that day from the Isle of Wight.
Monday, the 7th Dragoon Guards, under the com-
mand of Colonel Donut, received a route to march
in two divisions from Piqrshill Barracks, where they
have been quartered since the Ist of May last. The
orderly behaviour of the men, and the general ap-
pearance of the corps, do infinite credit to Colonel
DuNitix and the Officers under his command. This is
the third time the '7th Dragoon Guards have been
stationed at Piershill, since the commencement of the
French revolutionary war, and always carried along
with them the good wishes of the Inhabitants of Edin-
burgh and its vicinity on their departure.
The 3d Dragoon Guards, whose Officers have re.;
commended themselves to the inhabitants of Glas-
gow and its neighbourhood, by their gentlemanly
and correct deportment, are about to leave that city.
The conduct of the men has been .equally laudable.
It is understood that this excellent Regiment is to be
quatteted at Carlisle and Newcastle.
Two soldiers, belonging to the 3d Regiment of
Guards, were committed to lixeter jail last week, for
stealing a piece of silk handkerchiefs from the shop
of Miss SATERLEV, in Market-stria, Docks

The Earl of Five, it is said, has been dismis

ceeded by Lord LOVAINIL
The following is an extract of a letter from the
Island of St. Thomas, dated the 21st alt.-4• We have
the following intelligence from Maracaibo, which has
caused a great depression here in business, and has
suspended the numerous orders executing for the sup-
ply of the Main. The place, it seems, was under the
command of a Royalist Officer, and a garrison of
3000 men. Provisions being wanted in the town, the
soldiers were dispatched by the Commandant to pro-
cure thent from the neighbouring country. In their
absence, a body of armed men were admitted into
the town by the Royalist Offieers; they immediately
seized upon the fort, and proclaimed the town free.
Of the soldiers who formerly.garrisoned the town, a
great proportion declared for the Independents. We
cannot ascertain whether this has taken place with
the concurrence of BOLIVAR or not; but from my

knowledge of his character, I am inclined to conclude
that it has not: if so, the place will be restored, and
all quietly settled; but otheriise. as it is an infraction
of the Armistice of Truzilloa the Main will be again
plunged into hostilities."
