'OF THE BRITISH TROOPS.

Juan Griego, in Margaretta,
A Dispatch is just received from the President
BOLIVAR, stating, that 150 British Cavalry, belong-
to Colonel Usrcrit's Regiment, under General PAZ;
which had gone up the Oronoco, had attacked and
defeated Moalu.o's Cavalry, consisting of 1000, and
destroyed 400 of the best of them. By the command
of the Pazsmaisr, these men have all received the
Order of Liberta.dom, the only Order in the country
(and which only the PRZSIDIMT and Admiral Baum
had), for their gallant conduct. The George Can-
ning brought this news from Margaretta.

The Portuguese schooner Leopoldine, has arrived
at Falmouth, from Rio Janeiro, with Papers from that
capital down to the 10th of April. In the Rio Ja-
neiro Gazette, of the 7th of that month, there is an
account of the rejoicings that took place on the 4th,
on the birth of a daughter by the Princess Royal of
Portugal, Brazil, apd the Algarve., the consort of
the Prince Royal, and the daughter of the Emperor
Of AUSTRIA.

Lieutenant Colonel FELDNI landed at Falmouth
from the above-mentioned vessel, and proceeds im-
mediately to the Court of Austria, as bearer of the
agreeable intelligence to the family of the Princess.

Mr. BETTY has just entered into articles with the
Proprietors of Covent-Garden Theatre for next seam*
. Yesterday a Meeting of the New Renters of Drury-
Lane Theatre took place at two o'clock, in the Sa-
loon of the Theatre; Sir THOMAS Tuaion in the
Chair. Mr. CA LCR A FT, in a short but explanatory
"Statement of the affairs of the Theatre, wished .to
impress upon the minds of the new Renters, that if
the propositions which had been maturely made by
the Select Committee, namely, of giving up their
interest for the last four years, as wen as their agree-
ing not to receive interest for four years to come,
were not agreed to, he (Mr. Calcraft) had little hopes
but that the concern must immediately be ruined.— I
If the above play was agreed to, the Theatre might
be instantly let, upon good security ; and if the per-
son succeeded in the management, of which there
was no doubt, the dividends would be regularly
paid at the time specified. Mr. Roams pointed out
the necessity of agreeing to the above proposition.--
Captain ROBINSON seconded the motion, as the only
means of saving the Theatre from immediate destruc-
tion.—Sir THOMAS Tortola telt great delicacy in his i
situation of Trustee, to recommend the above propo-
sition to the new renters; but in the character of a
new renter, he felt all its force, and should support it.
Mr. FA LLOW V I ELD. as a Trustee, coinsioied most hear-
tily with the expressions of the Chairman. After some
farther conversation, the motion wascarrieti.
