NEW GRANADA AND VENEZUELA.

" TRINIDAD, SEPTEMIIP.It e, 1819.
"1 have now to communicate to you the agreeable
7atelligenea of the capture of Barcelona, by the Army
of General English, with little or no loss. Hehas since
invested Cumana I and by a boat which arrived from
Margarita last week, we learn, that he had com-
Menced operations, having stormed the which
commands the fortresses; but owing to an oversight,
in not being provided with the necessary implements
for entrenching himself thereon, he was driven back
with the loss of 33 men. He had, however, since
• provided himself with every thing required, Intl was
preparing to renew the attack. Yesterday, several
deserters arrived here from thence, add report, that
he had again taken the heights, which commands the
forts, &c the garrison could not hold out long; the
Creole,. Creole,. in the Spanish service, were deserting when-
ever they could find an opportunity, and the garrison
avere ail) a state of starvation. A part of General
Dl:veleta', expedition had arrived at Margarita,
and were immediately to join the besieging Army be-
fore Cumana. Nothing could equal the demonstrations
of joy with which the Ist Division of General 'nye-
reux's Legion. was received by the Governor, and all
ranks of inhabitants. Thus stands the affairs of our
neighbouring coast. With regard to the operations
of Generals Bolivar and Paez, it will he seen by the
enclosed translations of their Dispatches to the Vice-
President, that they are actively employed in the in-
terior, nom itlmanding the inclemency of the season.
The former, having penetrated into New Granada,
and beaten the Spaniards opposed to him, was ad-
vancing rapidly tow;.!rds the capital, which had not
the means or inclination to oppose him. In his pri-
vate, s, he speaks in the most confident manner
of speedily settling the affairs of that kingdom, and
returning upon Caraccas with an overwhelming force;
by which time he expects that Cumana will have
fallen, and that the Army in that province will be
concentrated, and ready to act in concert with him.
Ile speaks also of sending down immediately 200,000
dollars for the use of the Congress. General Paez,
you is ilt lied, is now in full possession of all Barinas,
and is, at the same time, besieging 600 Spaniards,
who shut themselves tip in San Fernando ; and, from
the circumstance of his having destroyed General
Morillo's gun-boats, that were intended to throw in
supplies, the • rrison must shortly surrender. We
have a report here, by way of Angostura, that Lima
had been taken by the Chaim' Army on the. 16th of
June. I shall be glad to have this account confirmed.
On the 3d ultimo, the Amet ican national schooner,

the Nonsuch, arrived at Angostura from the United
States, having on board Commodore Perry, charged
by his Governmenc•with a mission of the utmost im-
portance to the Congress of Venezuela. He came to
the mouth of river in the ship John Adams,
which, not being able to cross the Bar, occasioned the
Commodore to proceed on in the schooner which was
in company, and the ship came to this gulf to wait
the return of the schooner. The Commodore, having
terminated the business on which he was sent, em-
barked again in the schooner, and proceeded down
the river ; in crossing the Bar, in coming out, the
schooner shipped a sea of fresh water, by which the
Commodore got very wet, and was soon after seized
with ague, and then with a most violent fever, which
carried him off the fourth day; he expired as the
schooner came to her anchorage in this gulf, and was
interred the following day with great solemnity and'
military honour. It is, beyond a doubt, that the
Commodore's mission was of tio most friendly na-
ture, and that Venezuela is about to receive (if not in
a direct) in an indirect manner, the supplies she may
require to enable her to obtain her emancipation ;
indeed, so confident is the Congress of this, that they
have actually sent down with the Commodore two
Commissioners, who have proceeded to America in
the John Adams, for the purpose of receiving and
forwarding the supplies to the several ports they are
required at. I have had much conversation with
one of them on this subject, he is a friend of mine,
and through him I shall receive information, from
time to time, as proceedings take place. One ques-
tion put by the Commodore was, 4, What is the na-
ture and extent of the supplies you require to enable
you to obtain your emancipation, and how long after
you have obtained such supplies will you be able to
effect it ?" This speaks for itself, and chews, at once,
the intentions of the American Government. What
infatuation? what blind policy directs the Counsels
of our Ministry, to allow America to step in and reap
the whole fruits of the South American Revolution,
by one act of generosity in the hour of need ? She
will by this secure the everlasting gratitude of Vene-
znela, and cement the bonds of friendship with that
country, which will secure to future ages the happiest
results.
All this was proffered to England, and although
her subjects were forward and anxious to seize the,
golden prize, the Government, from a fatal and con-
tracted policy, have not only opposed those laudable
exertions on the part of her subjects, but have almost
interdicted all direct intercourse with them and these

rich provinces. When it is too late she will see her
error, for whatever may be her expectations from
Ferdinand, in consequence of the decided steps she
has lately taken to favour him in his projects upon
South America, she will find herself deceived and
disappointed. Cuba, the price of the assistance on
the part of England, will sooner place herself under
the protection of America, than come under the yoke
of England, to be fettered and oppressed with her
present colonial system ; and it is already ascertained
that America is, with open arms, waiting the anxious
moment to fraternize her. These occurrences will
r. y involve Europe in another war, which may
ei:d in the most fatal consequences to England, I shall
be glad to have your thoughts upon these affairs."

OP TOE REPUBLIC.

" Ikad-quarters, Paya, June 30, Iftl9,
‘, Since my last, dated at Guadalito, there has not
happened any thing important in this army. Our
operations have been directed solely-to the progress
•orr march through friendly countries, until the
instant, when we attacked the advanced guard
ch the enemy had posted here, of three hundred
This event has been the opening 9f the cam-
in Nev. (liaoada; and if the first attempt can
aar,ideted a prcsagc of the ultimate issue, we

Ihave reason to look for a favourable one ; three hun-
dred picked men :of the enemy's troops have been
dislodgea from a position so strong by nature, that
one hunched men might have defended it against a
thpusand.
1 " Tit advantages we have derived from this victory
were confined to the possession of the defile, the
lenemy having escaped by fording the river Paya,
immediately in his rear; he lost, however, some
killed, and I.is provisions. But this victory has not
been the only cause of the satisfaction of the army,
or that which has cost us most fatigue. The prin-
cipal obstacles we have had to overcome, arose from
the roads : we have marched a wholemonth through
the province of Casanare, vanquishing new impedi-
ments every day, that appeared to increase as we
advanced. It is miraculous we have had the good
fortune to get so far without accident, notwithstand-
itig our having traversed a multitude of navigable
rivers, which inundated a great part of the road in
the plains. This was the chief difficulty on our
march, and when got over, the rest we expected
would be trifling; but we soon met with new ob-
stacles, which nothing but a perseverance and con-
staiay above proof could have vanquished. The
roughness of the mountains we passed over is incre-
dible only to those who have not seen them. To
form an idea of the route, suffice it to say, that in
four days' progress the carriages of the park of
artillery were rendered useless, and the draft cattle
for relays all perished. The inclemency of the
weather also added to the difficulties of the road;
it rained almost day and night.
"In fine, although our march is not terminated, we
may flatter ourselves that the worst is past, and that
we touch at the term of our fatigues: We hope to
get to Sogamozo in eight days at farthest, whore our
situation will be much improved. , •-
" Every report we receive from New Granadaraises'
our hopes and expectations. They all unanimously
affirm, that in the interior of the country there are
a multitude of Guerillas which incessantly molest
the enemy, who is so much in dread of us that the
inhabitants are most impatient for our arrival. If
these reports can be depended upon (and we have no
reason to doubt them) our campaign will soon be
finished gloriously. Nothing can detain us if the
population of the country is friendly. The enemy's
force is not sufficient to contain the peasantry.

" General Paez has reported to me, dated the Isth
instant, that he had beaten the faction at Guaca,
burned the village, and destroyed all their ground
provisions. He was preparing to march against Pe-
draza, in quest of a division of the enemy of seven
hundred men, that had ventured on to that place,
and he hopes (if he has the good fortune to fall in
with them) to give a good account of them. I have
no adv ices from your Excellency subsequent to the Ist
of May, which is the date of your last official.
(Signed) " BOLIVAR."
" I Icad-Qoarters, Village of La Cruz, July 21, 1819.

a Excellent Sir—With reference to my anterior
dispatch, I have now to state, that on the 10th inst.
I moved my Head-quarters from the Island of Acha-
guas, keeping on this side of the Apure. My inten-
tion was to proceed to Nutrias, to attack and beat
that garrison; and to that intent, the English infantry
and some country troops lately recruited, were
marched—forming, with the cavalry, a respectable
division.

"On the 16th we got to the ford of Marnporal, and
having found it impossible to get on with the infan-
try, on account of the inundation of the Savanas, I
sent back the infantry to Achaguas, and proceeded
with the cavalry only, with a view of making an at-
tempt on Guanare, and other points of the west of
Caraccas. For the better success of this operation, I
directed Colonel Arismendi to make a demonstration
on the capital of Varinces with the Regiment of La
Muerte, to disperse or distract the force he had beaten
some days before. On the 17th Icontinued my march
by the road to this village, which our guides reported
to be the best, and having progressed three days suc-
cessively, without finding at any place a suspicion of
provisions for the troops, or even a spot of dry land
to pass the night, we encamped on the 19th at night,
at a league from this village, where I received advice
from my videttes, that a division of the enemy, con-
sisting of 550 infantry, and some carabineers, under
the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Duran, had just
taken possession of the town, for the double intent of
beating the Guerillas we keep up in this neighbour-
hood, to burn the village, destroy the plantations,
and carry off the inhabitants prisoners to Hutrius.—
I immediately prepared to give him a lesson, and at
day-light on the 20th we broke up the encampment,
and made my dispositions for the attack. The line
formed en batten& I ordered Lieutenant-Colo:14

Cornelio Munoz to command the right, at the he‘a'd
of my own Guard of Honour ;, Colonel A. Rangel
the left, with the Regiment of Valientes ; and Gene-
ral Torres the centre, with the Hussars dismounted.
The enemy formed in a square on this place, made a
very obstinate resistance, repulsing our attacks even
with the bayonet, but foreseeing his destructionin-
evitable, from the great number of killed and wounded
falling round him, he retired in good order, though
under a heavy fire, to a casa-fuerte, or block-house,
where he was protected from a continuance of the
attack. I then prepared to assault him, by forming
four column.; of light cavalry dismounted, • who,
dashing on simultaneously at all hazards, got to the
house, and attacked with the-greatest bravery, some
with their sabres cutting down the doors and win-
dows, others with stakes, endeavouring to pull down
the walls ; but they were so much exposed to the fire
from within, by the Creneans, and other incidents,'
that they were obliged to retire. Again, however,'
they renewed the assault, but perceiving it would be
impossible to carry the place for want of proper tools,
I ordered them off, while the cry was Death or
Victory !' and made them sensible that bravery with-
out prudence would give the palm to the enemy,
assuring them that if they would confide in me, the
place should be carried before morning ; that in the
mean time they would repose a little, and be pre-
paled to reap the fruits of their valour. The cavalry
being then reconcentred, I placed four Guerillas of
dismounted Hussars in the nearest houses ill front,
with orders to fire at every thing that presented it 7
selt, and chiefly at the windows of the casa-fuerte.--
This was punctually obeyed, to the great annoyance
of the enemy during all the da during which a path
to the house was discovered in the rear, covered u
1

brush-wood, which hail escaped onrohnertation dry-
ing the assaults of the morning.
"At night-fall the to/limns of cavalry were
formed for the attack, and Making a feint in fr—owt,
.the real assault was made br the path in the ram,
when, notwithstanding the formidable resistance of
the enemy, every thing_was carried, and a victory ob-
tained of eternal honour to the arms of the Republic.
It was impossible to restrain the fury of the troops,
who bayoneted every thing opposed to them, and
none escaped except the Commanding Officer (badly
wounded), and abont 30 men, favoured by a dark
rainy night, and the direction of that ungrateful
American Captain Yazza, who served them as a
guide ; but 1 immediately detached a Guerilla in
pursuit, and hope to have a good account of them.
Among the enemy's Officers killed is Captain Torres,
a very distinguished Spanish Officer. The issue of
this affair has been most favourable. We have taken
all the stores, 200 stand of arms, and the whole divi-
sion has been annihilated. Many wounded have been
since discovered in the thickets.

-!.

" Our loss consists of five Officers, four Serjeants,
and twenty rank and file, killed ; and eleven Officers,
and 85 rank and file, wounded. Among the former
we lament the brave Colonel Urquiola, who fell glo-
riously fulfilling his duty as a Patriot ; Lieutenant-
Colonel Navarro ; Captain Pedro Juan Camarra, and
Lieutenant Pedro Gomez, whose memory will long
live in this Army. Of the latter are Co!onel Juan
Gomez, Lieutenant-Colonel Manuel Arraiz, Captain
Ramon Estevez, Lieutenant Fructuor Estevez, and
Sub-Lieutenants Ronaldo Salar, Encarnation Castillo,
Eusebio Ledesma, Julian Pena, Leon Estevez,
Prego Oliva, and Juan Aspre.
" I should be wanting in my duty did I omit recom-
mending to your Excellency the brilliant and distin-
guished valour displayed by General Torres, the
brave Colonel Rangel, Colonel Munon, and Lieute-
nant-Colonel Laureacio Silva, who were the first to
assault and tear down the windows with their sabres ;
and Colonel Carmona, Lieutenant-Colonel Josef Maria
Augule, Lieutenant-Colonel Jacinto Imrabad, and
-Lieutenant Thomas Curtejon, for their bravery and
perseverance throughout the action ; and, indeed, the
whole corps, both officers and soldiers, were emulous
to distinguish themselves in obtaining so complete a
victory.---Be pleased to receive and accept this offi-
cial as a tribute to the Republic, that its brave de-
fenders may be.knows. " JOSE ANTONIO PAEZ:.

The Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday, have
arrived, but furnish nothing of material interest. The
Minister of the Interior has enjoined a most rigorous
system of quarantine, in order to secure France from
this contagion now raging in Spain. The Madrid

fa, then report from the parts infected.—M. ScsiEFFER,
condemned, in 1818, to one year's imprisonment, for
having published a work entitled, The State of Li-

" North Shields, October 17.
Thursday afternoon, a rumour prevailing that a
;Al!' was towing loaded keels down the river,
7.ier of the inhabitants assembled on the Duke

B she was moored at the Quay, repaired to the
Timberland Arms, and were hooted, hissed, &c.

'MEETING AT STINDEPLAND,

The following hand-bill was issued by the Magis-
trates of Sunderland, for the purpose of convening a
Meeting, as therein stated :

" Sunderland, October 14, 1819.
" The Magistrates P. cting for this District, in concurrence
with the wish of many respectable individuals ef Sunderland,
Bishopwearmouth, and Monkwearmouth, I4ereby request a
Meeting of the inhabitants of those Towns and of their vicinities,
at the Exchange, in Sunderland, on Saturday, the 16th day of
October instant, at twelve o'clock, to tali:: into consideration
the, propriety of adopting some Resolutions, ari an Aedress to
his Royal highness the Prince Regent, expres=ive of loyaqy and
of attachment to the Constitutioit and Laws of the Country."

At the time appointed a considerable and respect-
able company assembled ;—when JOHN GEORGE
LAMISTON, Esq. M.P. began by offering a few re-
marks before the Chai: was occupied :—he could not
help expressing his surprise at the irregular and novel
manner in which the Meeting was convened ; the
bill pretended it was called at the desire of the Ma-
gistrates and many respectable individuals. If such
were the case, why were their names not annexed ?
How came it that so short time was allowed ? On
the whole, he could not help thinking there was
something in the transaction which warranted sus-
picion. He (the Honourable Member) thought that
he WAS as much interested in the town of Sunderland
as any Gentleman, yet no such intended Meeting
had bee., notified` to him • it was only about nine
o'clock, that morning, that he was ind of it, and
then by a bill sent him anonymously under cover.—
He recollected, about the time of the much-lamented
death of the Princess Charlotte, an Address was at-
tempted to be smuggled into the Exchange, but it
was rewarded by being kicked out. He had reason
to believe that most of the Meetings of that town
were got up in the-same manner.
The Rev. Dr. GRAY rose, with considerable warmth,
and repelled-Any imputation of smuggling a Meeting,
which was attempted to be laid upon himself and
brother Magistrates, and referred to his conduct ge-
nerally on such occasions, to shew that such imputa-
tions were not warranta ; the Reverend Gendeman
ended by proposing Rowland Burdon, Esq. to the
Chair, which was seconded with great applause.
Mr.LtataroN objected to Mr. Burdon being placed
in the Chair, Mr. Burdon resided at a considerable
distance from Sunderland, nor was he-connected with
it by any ties of property : while there were so many
Gentlemen present. who were directly interested, and
who were equally as eligible in other respects, he was
of opinion that from among those Gentlemen it would
be filled with more propriety; he, therefore, pro-
posed George Robinson, Esq. to the Chair, which was
seconded with universal applause.
Mr. ROBINSON Legged leave to decline the honour
of the Chair.
Mr. BLIRDON wished to make a few observations:
he was not in the habit of attending popular Meet-
ings, nor did he know any thing about them, but
through the medium of the Public Papers; he was
broke in upon in his retirement by his friends, and, at
their request. certainly assented to take the Chair. It
was on an occasion when he supposed there could
only be one voice of unanimity. [He was here called
to order by Mr. LAMETON, who observed, that that
was a question which could only be entered into
when before the Meeting.)
Mr. BURDON tesumed. As to his taking the Chair
or not, it was equally immaterial; he should neither
feel regret nor disappointment.
Mr. LastaTON then proposed Mr. B. Ogden to the
Chair, which that Gentleman politely declined.
Mr. A. FENWICK proposed Mr. Lambton to the
Chair, which was seconded (with tumultuous applause)
in a short, and energetic speech from Mr.W. WALTON,
who observed that the town of Sunderland had long
laboured under the trammels of a Party, and he was
convinced that it only required a rallying point to
render it one of the most independent towns in the
—(Applause).
Mr. LA MST° s then moved frir an adjournment, to
allow a greater number of the Gentry and Inhabitants
to attend, which the hitherto short notice was calcu-
lated entirely to defeat.
A shew ot hands was called for, when an evident
majority appeared for an adjournment. A shew of
hands being called from the opposite party, and the
minority being' obviously not more than one-third,
the Meeting was dissolved with the most tumultuous
applause.
Immediately after the dissolution of the Meeting,
a Requisition, signed by Mr. LAMETON and others,
was ei.iered into, requesting a General Meeting of
the Inhabitants, on Tuesday, the 19th. to take into
consideration the calamitous events at Manchester,
and the propriety of an Address to his Royal High-
ness the Prince Regent, requesting a strict enquiry
11 • 1 into the cause of such transactions.

The following correspondence has taken place be-
tween the Magistrates of Chester Ward and. Mr.
LAMISTON • ,
" Gateshead Justice Room, 13th October, 1819.
" Sta—l have the honour to transmit to you a Declaration,
which has received the sanction of the Magistrates of Chester
Ward assembled this day.
" The Magistrates would feel great diffidence in originatiog
any measure which might more properly proceed from others,
or upon which a difference of opinion is likely to extst, but they
trust the present Declaration will have your sar.ction and ap-
proval. Copies of the Declaration lie for signature at South
Shields, Chester, Gateshead, and Manchester Justice Rooms;
arid any answer you may please to give may be sent to me, which
will be attended to.—l 401 your obedient servant.
G. A. LA M muff, Clerk to the Magistrates.
" John George Lambton, L'sq."
The Declaration inclosed was in the usual strain of
other loyal Declarations.
The following was Mr. LAMATON'S answer :
" Lambton Hall, October 15, 1819.
" Sta—l beg to decline signing the document transmitted by
you under the denomination of the Loyal and Constitutional
Declaratioz of the Inhabitants of Chester Ward, for the follow-
big reasons :
" First--Because no Meeting was ever publicly called orthe
Inhabitants of Chester Ward, at which the subject therein con-
tained could be openly introduced and fairly discussd.
" Secondly—Because I positively deny that any swirling tit,-
tonsestances tf the neightveirhuud' render it necessary that we should
proclaim :loud to the world, what our man can
attachme dntoubt,
the viz. our
`loyalty towards our Sovereign, and to
and Constitution of our Country.'
n Consequently it is not my in to ec
come a party to a
measure thus privately arranged or to assist b
incasting an impu-
tation of disloyalty on a iseighie:urhooti; which, from I have
„ever sae or heard, deserves no such reproach.
" l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
"G. A. Lambert, Beg. " JOHN GEORGIi, LAXIMON.",

CHESHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS.

KNUTSFORD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19.
This morning the Sessions commenced before Sir
JOIIN STANLEY and a Bench of Magistrates. The
Court was opened at eleven o'clock, and the Grand
Jury were called over as follows :
John Barrett Joshua Andrew
William Walker John Burchineil
James Garner Samuel I larding
James Grange Thomas Yarwond
James Graves• William Holland
Samuel Bowe Thomns Holshaw
John Newton William Hitching
Peter Gratrix John Mellor
John Brett Christopher Bennett
William Garside Jonathan Fowler
Joseph Turner John Sumner.
Sir JOHN STANLEY then charged the Grand Jury,
and first called their attention to several Acts of Par-
liament which had been passed last Session, relative
particularly to this County. He first alluded to the
Act respecting the Settlement of the Poor, and seve-
rally touched upon the Acts regulating Cotton Mills,-
Parish Vestries, and the Laws to facilitate the trial
of Felonies committed on Stage Coaches, and for the
better care of Pauper Lunatics. To these Acts he
wished to draw the peculiar attention of the Grand
Jury, that they might be promulgated throughout
the country. It was, he said, sometimes, a very use-
ful practice, for Chairmen in their charge to the
Jury, to give advice, or to make observations which
applied to the conduct of the Grand Jury as indivi-
duals. At present -he should confine himself to a
few remarks upon their characters as Grand Jury-
men. Whatever agitation there might be out of
doors, and in the neighbourhood of this County, in
a Court of Justice all should be conducted with calm-
ness. Every individual should be judged with im-1
partiality, and according to the evidence adduced
against him. Without any reference to party, let
levery man come into an English Court of Justice
sure that he would find redress and protection. lie
begged to remark, that some Bills might be biought
before the Grand Jury for what was called a Con-
spiracy. He wished to tell them the law upon this
subject, viz.—that one man alone could not be found
guilty of this crime. It must be proved that at least
two persons were so connected together as to be
guilty of the offence. He concluded with congra-
tulating the Jury, and the Country, of one beneficial
effect of the severity of this Court in the punishment
of fowl•stealing. He was happy to find, that in con-
sequence of the examples which had been made of
those convicted of that offence, there was not a single
instance of fowl-stealing in the Calendar.
The Gland Jury then withdrew to consider the
several Bills presented to them.
The Calendar of the present Sessions is net re-
markably full. There are 41 cases of misdemeanour,
and 25 of felony : among the cases of misdemeanour
are one or two which are worthy of notice.
John Swan, who was a short time in confinement,
is charged in the Calendar with a conspiracy. He
is a hatter, residing at Stockport ; and the particular
charge against him is, for having, on the 31st July
last, at Macclesfield, conspired and combined with
others to disturb the public peace, and to traduce
and vilify the House of Commons and the Govern-
ment, and to excite discontent, disaffection, and se-
dition in the minds of the King's liege subjects, with
one hundred more unlawfully assembled to disturb
the peace, and by seditious speeches to excite the
contempt of his Majesty's subjects for the Govern-
ment of this Country.
The three following are also charged with the
same offence :
John Burtinshaso, agedl36, cotton-spinner, from
Portwood ; John Richards, 38, a cotton-spinner, of
Macclesfield; and John Stubbs, aged 54, a cotton-
spinner, of the same place.
In consequence of Sir CHARLES WoLsewry having
removed his trial to Chester, less interest is excited,
at these Sessions than was expected.
The case of Mr. Harrison still remains, and may
be heard.
The whole of this day was taken up with hearing
Pauper Appeals. Mr. Avg WORTH was present, and
was engaged in almost every Appeal. Mr. Wm-
trams was principally engaged on the other side,
and in consequente of the interruption of Mr. Asti-
WORTH on several occasions, Mr. WILLIAMS- was
compelled to remind his antagonist, that he was not
now arguing on a Coroner's Inquest, and that these
proceedings would not, like that, last for ever.
Sir CHARLES WOLSELEY was in'Court during the
greater part of the day.
The Grand Jury have just returned true Bills
against John Swan, John Richards, and two others,
for a conspiracy.
A true Bill has also been found againt the Rev.
Joshua King for a conspiracy, with others unknown,
in laying poison to kill cattle, to the injury of the
King's subjects.

(le/low-prisoners. t think I should have died from extreme dint,
had it not been for &e humanity of the a Constable Weinale
(at she is called) who attends the fetnaletmisoners, by whem I
was occasiona.ly supplied with tea, and toast and water. I
repeated my complaints daily, but it, vain, to Jackson • and at
length, about six days iftOr, I was confined to my bed. The
Doctor then visited me, who immediately ordertu my removal
to the Hospital, warm I was carried by the woman tamable,
and another female. In the Hospital, the disSase with which
I was afflicted, according to the statement of the Doctor, was
an inflannuation of the liver, accompanied by a high tevw.-a-
Afterwards, when I bad been a fortnight in the Hospital,
and suffering under a relapse of the fever. I was permitted to me
my husband, for the first time since my arrest, although I had
repeatedly entreated that he might be let in to speak to me; and
when I saw him, I was scarcely able to spark to him. Ile re-
mained with me about ten minutes, when Jackaun ene.ered him
away. I requested the Turnkey to let hith stay ; but he an-
swered' No !' and compelled my husband to go away. About a
fortnight afterwards, I was again allowed to see my husband;
but he was not permitted to remain with me above ten minutes,
Ithe Turnkey standing be .de us during our conversation. During,
' the nine weeks that I have been in prison, I was never permit,:
ted to see my husband, but the twice I have crated, although
frequently solicited the Turnkey to let him in. Throughout my
confinement, I had only the common jail allowance, excepting
little tea and sugat, which the tteper said my husband had sent
me.—To this statement I am ready to depose upon oath.
(Signed) " ANNE SCOTT.
" Witnesses—P. J. Candelet, Thomas Chapman."
" Manchester, lath October, 1819.
" I, William Scott, of Liverpoll-road, Manchester, beat-,
builder, declare, that after I heard of the seven of my wits,
Ann Scott,C on the 16th August last, I went to the New i'ailey
Prison, in order to see her, but the Turnkey mimed n.e admix.
lion. I repeated my request for admission several nines after--
wards, but in vain. I was not, indeed, permitted to.scr my wife
until about a month after her arrest ; when, upoc riving the
Turnkey (Jackson) some money, I was admitted, and I..tindlier
lying a-bed, in the hospital of the prison, so very ill, that shewas:
scarcely able to speak. I had not staid with her above ten mi-
nutes, when I was compelled to go out by Jackson, the Turake v.
From that time, until her liberation this day, I was never allowed
to see her but once, although I frequently applied for admission,
at the door of the prison. During her imprisonment I several
times sent her food and money, which she declares she never
received.—To this statement I am ready to depose upon oath.
(Signed) " WILLIAM SCOTT.
" Witnesses—Thomas Chapman, P. J. Cardelet."
To these statements, upon which I feel it unneces-
sary to make any remarks, I cannot help adding the.
following letter, just put into my hands, from the
Ministerial Member for Lancaster, for whose return
poor Scott voted at the last Election :
" 5, Henrietta-street, Cavendish-square, Sept. 25.
" Mr Ferran, Scott--I received the Petition which you sent
to me. lam very sorry to hear of the unhappy condition of
your wife, in being confined in the New Bailey Prison, on ac-
count of some expressions she had used on the 16th August last.
As I am totally unacquainted, however, with the nature and
extent of her fault, you must be aware how very improper it
would be in me to attempt to intercede for bar release at your
request.
" I have only to lament, therefore, that I cannot be of service
to you on the present occasion.—l remain your friend,
" G. DOVETON."
There are, as I am told, several persons confined in
the New Bailey upon political charges, solely from
want of bail ; but means will be immediately taken to •
ascertain, whether the information be correct. No
means, however, can be entirely relied upon, until
the usual return of the prisoners at the opening of
the Quarter Sessions, as the LiFiculty of examining
the interior of the prison is so very peculiar,

It appears from the regular entries, that 24,980
persons have visited Margate during the late season !
In consequence of the decision of the Jockey Club
respecting the winner of the St. Leger Stakes at
Doncaster, they have been received by Mr. Few:a/-
sox, the owner of Antonio.
