The following is an Extract of a Letter from Trini-
dad, dated the 14th of May t--" Since I wrote to vcn
last, we have had one arrival from Maturin, bringing;
accounts from the Patriot Army in the neighbour-
hood of Archaguas. A detachment of them had
fallen in with a part of the Royalists on tie 3d ult.;
and, after a sharp contest, had succeeded in putting
them to the route, 400 Royalists having been left on
the field of battle. Paez was much inferior ix point
of numbers, and suffered severely in Officer 4, all of
whom are named ; but I am happy to .ay, that there
is not one English name among the number. We
have heard also of the positive sailing of Colonel
English from Margarita, as well as a report of his
having landed at Ocumate, and his marching direct
to Caraccas. Both parties here have no doubt that
he is there by this time ; all agreeinF, that there is no
force whatever to oppose him. Ihe whole are un-
der the command of Colonel Needham. The affairs
of the Independents brighten in every direction ; and
it is pretty evident now, that they will be in posses-
sion of the whole country before the rainy season sets
in, provided they do not commit some egregious
blunder."

The following is an Extract of a Letter from the
Agent to Lloyd's, at Gibraltar, dated the27th of May
—.l Intelligence has been received here from Tarifa
of the loss of an Insurgent hermaphrodite privateer,
on Saturday last, the 22.1 instant, on a reef of sunken
rocks, near that place, called Los Cabezos, in bearing
down, under a press of sail, to cut off a Spanish brig
that had anchored close to Tarifa, called Los Tres,
or Quatro Hermanos, which she had chased from off
Santi Petri. Some of the crew were drowned ; the
remainder took to their boats, and rowed off towards
the Barbary shore ; but boats being immediately
manned with soldiers, and sent in pursuit, succeeded'
in capturing them, 72 in number, including the Cap-
tain, named Brown. One of the Officers, in resist-
ing, was shot.--The French Agent at this place has
received a Letter from Marseilles, dated the 4th in-
stant, communicating the unpleasant intelligence of
a Swedish vessel, called the Continuation, Anderson
Master, having arrived there on the sOt h ult. from
Suza and Tunis, from which latter place she sailed
on the 20th ult. with the plague on board, of which
some of the crew and passengers had died, and others
were then infected. The infected persons were land-
ed at the Lazai ettb, and the vessel put under a strict
quarantine guard. All other necessary rigorous mea-
sures were enforced, to prevent- bad consequences'
resulting."
THEATRE-ROYAL, HA YMARK ET.—The late COM-
pany of Drury-Lane commenced their performances
at this Theatre last night with the very entertaining
Comedy of The Poor Gentleman. The principal ac-
tors were received with great favour on their succes-
sive appearance. Mr. MURDER, as Sir Robert Bram-
ble, was honoured with long applause, and RAE, as
Frederick, RUSSEL, as 011apod, Mrs. Oec ER, as En;
and Mts. SPARKS, as Miss Lucretia Mactab, received
frequent marks of approbation during the night. The
performance was on the whole singularly well sus-
tained, we never saw Muipett to greater advantage
even in his most "palmy days," and the other actors
played to him with unusual spirit. This is demon-
stration against the larger Theatres; the Drury-lane
company were no favourites of the public while they
wasted their faculties of face and voice on the immen-
sity of their colossal stage. In the performance of
last night, the countenance and the tone were seen
and felt without grimace or vociferation in the actor,
and the audience were allowed to enjoy the author's
wit without the torture of the unfortuna:c person who
bore its burthen. We have no doubt that the public
will have a better opportunity of enjoying true and
natural representation in this Theatre than they could
from the same company in Drury-lane. The com-
pany have now tried Comedy, and have admirably
succeeded. Their next effort will exhibit their powers
in Tragedy, and we will venture to predict, that
KEAN S Richard will be felt to be a more striking ef-
fort within these walls, than in the old gigantic place
of his fortunes; here his face will be seen, his voice
will be heard, and the cat icature to which all actors
are driven in the larger Theatres, will be spired to
all parties. We heartily wish success to their under-
taking. After the Play, 44 GOD save the King" was
sung ; the chores by the whole company, and the
solo parts, together with the following additional
verse, by Mr. T. COOKE and Miss CUBITT :
But let our grateful verse
Our heartfelt strains rehearse,
To George our Prince.
He who has deign'd to diet r
Old Drury's prospects drear,
Aad brought her child ref hero
To bless their Prince!
