soUTli AMERICA,

This Morning we received .lintaiat Papers to the
14th of July. They cdntain a eery► long detailed ac'
count of the distreesed situation of the briVeh pri-
soners at Carthagena, as related by Captain Rousts,
who exerted his influence for their liberation. The
following article is extracted from the Royal Gazette
of the 13th

" By the TAY We have received the following in-
formation from Santa Martha, of the 28th of June
We learn from Santa Fe, that the ARUBLES (four
brothers well known in that city as traders of consi
derable extent of means) have been executed by Me-
rino. He. entered Santa Fe on the 6th ultimo.
without firing, a single shot. The country may
now be said to be completely reduced to obedience.
Thus has' New Grenada once more been reduced
to subjugation, by a handful of men; as really the
portion of men Morillo carried with him, gives us a
convincing proof of.the want of union, and incapacity
in the people of New Grenada to govern themselves.
Report states, that General Sevier has retreated to
Cumana, via Fivers Metz and Oronoque; but we
are not inclined to believe that he will hazard an en-
gagement with a handful of men, without boats, and
without money."

Extract of a letter from the Agents of Lloyd's, at
Gibra!tar, dated 19th August The brig of war
reported to be Algerine, which 1 mentioned in my
letter of the 15th to have put into Tangle►, turns nut
to be a Moroquin from Tetuan, and the Satellite has
since returned here. It blew a perfect hurricane from
the East Ward between the night or the 16th and fol-
lowing morning, which it is apprehended will have
prevented Lord Exmourres fleet arrivinB at its des-
tination."

Saturday Viscount MELVILLE and Admiral Sir G.
Heim inspected the Dock-yard at Sheenier/is. and the

have been formed.

The Commandant of the lOth Military Division,
in an Order of the Day, dated Lisle, takes occasion
to pay a tribute to the discipline and gird conduct of
the Allied Troops in France.

The following is an eat tact of a letter from a Cler.
gyman in a very distressed District, to. the Associa-

efficacy ,'f their benevolent endeavours :

Indeed, I have already agreed with a Gentletnan vac. has consi-

It will be pleasing information to the Subscribers
to the Waterloo Fund to know, that a Pt irate of the
First Guards, whe-hadheen wounded, has, with the
donation from the Committee, been enabled to turn
fish-dealer ; and is daily seen in North Audley-street,
io his calling (with hisWaterlfes Medal), indmtriously
labouring for and actually gaining the support of a
wife and two children, for all of which he acknow-
ledges himself entirely indebted to the seasonable re-
lief from the Waterloo Subscription.
Fifty female convicts have been sent to the Peni-
tentiary on fslillbank, and it is expected that this place
of cot finement will shoetly be in readiness for the
reception of more. No /Jerson is allowed to see the

,Ind fourteen years' transportation, are to be seat
there, 'at the discretion of the Secretary of State for
the Home Department. Those sentenced to trans-
portation for life are to be sent to Botany Bay, as
usual.

BONAPAUTS.—A private letter from St. Helena,
dated July the 9.h, SUM, that a few days before,
BONAPARTE was missing for four hours, bet the sen-
tinel stopped him, when he said he should not be on
the Island nine months. In consequence of this he is.
now confined to his house and garden.
Captain MIRK, lately arrived,
at New York from
Calcutta, was boarded by the British off St. Helena,
but was not permittedto anchor. From their account
of BONAPARTis it appeared that he was in no-very
placid humour, and was apt still to play the tyrant
within the length of his chain. At the Island of
Ascension, where Captain MIRK stopped, the English
have an establishment, consisting of a Captain of the
Navy and eighty men. They have built a small
fortification, and folintt some water and sufficient soil
to raise a few vegetables in the middle of the island.
The quantity of water, however, is too small to supply
vessels which stop there) but that they may not be
disappointed, transports are tent occasionally from
et Helena laden entirely with that article. There
were lying at the island on the 29th May his Ma-
jesty's ship RaCOOll and one of the transports em-
' played in
.carrying the materials for BOSAPAIITes
house at gt. Helena.
