PIALTA, OCTOBER to.
The Rochefort, 80, (Vice-Admiral Sir Graham
Moore, K.C.8.) Captain C.M. Schoenberg, C.B. sails
to-morrow morning for Palermo and Naples, in con-
sequence of another biota up at the former place, and
in the expectation of something like it at Naples.—
All the English at Palermo have embarked, and are
daily expected here. The English Minister, and the
other residents at Naples, have already sent away
their wives and families. Should the Austrian army
march on Naples, there will be a dreadful conflict.
We have suffered greatly here from excessive heat
this summer.
• • GIBRALTAR, NOVEMBER 10.
The Glasgow, Captain Hon. A. Maitland, arrived
here in 28 days from Malta, intending to proceed to
England, but orders were lying here, directing her
to return to Naples, to join Sir Graham Moore. Sbe
will sail on the 12th inst. This is the thirty-fifth day
of westerly winds in this bay ; the homeward-bound
packet has in consequence been detained 29 days,
and the place is full of shipping of all nations, besides
one hundred sail at the back of the rock. The fever
continues in Spain ; people do not go more than 20
miles out, but this place is healthy.

SOUTH AMERICA.

Advices from Angostura have been received to
the 19th September by way of Trinidad. Their con-
tents are important, not in events of a military cha-
racter, but inasmuch as they announce the peaceable
and willing accession of several of the neighbouring
towns and districts to the Columbian Republic. The
following enumeration of three bloodless conquests
is taken from the Corm del Orinoco of 2d September:
" The General Commandant, with all the troops
of the King's party in the Province of Barcelona, have
united themselves with the liberators of Columbia.
" Of the 300 men who dispossessed Colonel Arana,
late Governor-General of Onoto, of his command in
that Province, 200 have abandoned the King's cause.
" The inhabitants of Tucupio, and of Valle-de-la-
Pascua, with whom the deserters from Arana took
refuge, have sworn fidelity to the Provisional Con-
stitution of Columbia.
" The canton of Guaca, and the town of Canagua;ll
in the Province of Varinas, have also abandoned the I
oppressors, and united themselves with the defenders
of their country.
" The inhabitants of the Province of Carthagena
hasten to enlist themselves among the defenders of
Columbian independence.
" It is said, and there are strong reasons for be.
lieving, feat the canton of Guanape, in the Province
of Ca raccas, which tarnishes a quota of three hun-1
soldiers, has followed the example of its bre
threnof Barcelona, Tucupio,Valle-de-Pascua,Guaca,'
and Canagua."
. Extract of a letter, dated Port of Spain (Trinidad)
October 1M :
" An agent from the United States has arrived at
Margarita, on his way to the seat of the Columbian
Government. General M,Gregor and his Lady have
also arrived there, after so long vegetating in St.
Domingo, and some of the other islands, subsequent
to the Porto .Bello affair."
