there is full of eonfidence. The garrison has been
reinforced with several thousand men.
The Pacha of Janina and the Albanese have not be-
hared well. Had the fOrmer with all his assurances
of friendship, afforded the least assistance, the island
of St. fklaura would probably not have fallen into the
hands of the enemy. He refused to furnish the re-
' infoi cements which General Donzelot had intended
to send thither, to pass through his territory, and
900 Albanese, who were the strongest part of the
garrison of St. Mauro, forsook their post, and trea-
cherously went ow/ to the English.

We lament to state the following communication,
which we received yesterday by the way of America :

EXTRACT OW A LETTER, DATED CANTON, IEL 10, 1810.

" A Chinese has again unfortunately been killed, gni as this
Government alledge, by an Englishman; though no satisfactory
proofs have yet been produced ; but, in the mean time it ha:, as
usual on such occasions, been the cause of the detention, not only
of the Company's ships (which were all completely loaded and
ready several days ago) but of all the Country ships also, and tome
Americans on the eve of departure; how the thing will finally
terminate, or how long the procrastinating spirit of this people
may spin out the negociations, it is quite impossible to say."

His MAJESTY came to town yesterday, from Win-
dsor, escorted by a party of Light Horse ; he was re-
ceived at the Queen's Palace, by the Dukes of YORK,
KENT, Sussex, and CAMBRIDGE. About half-past
twelve o'clock the Duke of CUMBERLAND arrived, to
pay his respects to his Royal Father ; his Royal High-
ness appears much better, and is recovering from-his
wounds. He continues to wear a black cap. At two
o'clock his MAJESTY held a private Levee, which was
attended by :
The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Privy Seal, the First
Lord of the Treasury and ChanceUor of the Exchequer, the Pint
Lord of the Admiralty, the three Secretaries of State, the Pre-
sident of the Board of Trade, the Commander in Chief, the Lord
Chamberlain, the Marquis of Downshire, Lords Somerville and
Heathfield (gold stick) ; Sirs S. Cottai-el and G. Osborne (groom
in waiting) ; and Colonel Davis._

The two Deputies from the Caraccas, Dow JUAN
ne VOLEBAII, and Dox Jose YOENt left London yes-
terday, in order to embark for the United States. It
is said that they are to reside for some time at Phila-
delphia. We understand that these Gentlemen were
treated with the greatest politeness by his Majesty's
Ministers ; but the Treaty of Alliance between his
MAJESTY and FERDINAND VII. was doubtless con-
sidered an insurmountable obstacle to receiving them
in an official character. It is possible, therefore, that
the object ascribed to their mission has not been at-
tained.
We last night received some fin Cher Gazettes and
Proclamations from the Caraccas, by which we are
happy to see, that the Patriots .ire proceeding with
spirit and firmness in the regeneration of the country;
and particularly in their efforts to open a communi-

distinctly mean to invite a commercial intercourse with
England.
Accounts were yesterday received from Mexico,
via Jamaica, which state that the Government and
people have unanimously acknowledged the authority
of the Council of Regency in' Spain ; and that should ,
fate so ordain it that the Regency shall he compelled

in the new world that cordial reception to which their
just supremacy entitle them.
Extract of a letter from Colonel ROBERTSON', Se-
cretary of Government at Curacoa, to Lieutenant-
Colonel Mouricca, dated Curacoa, .11:ne 2,1810 :
gt I am happy to inform you of the arrival of a vessel
from St. Thomas, which announces the pleasing in-
telligence of Porto Rico having followed the glorious
example of Caraccas."
A Quarter-master, who deserted from the French
service in consequence of being degraded, it is said
has put himself at the head of between four and five
hundred Spaniards, and deserters from tho French
army ; and with that force he occupies several passes
oa the road between Burgos and Vittoria, and has
been very successful in cutting off convoys and inter-
cepting communications of every description. This
Quarter-master, who was a member of the Legion of
Honour, and is described as a man of great cotirage
and enterprize, has, for months, eluded the vigilance
of strong parties sent to arrest him ; and though a
' reward of 20,000 livres has been offered for his head,
no one has been base enough to betray him.
A son of Mrs. Sizeland, of Lower Wimpole-street,
Cavendish-square, was unfortunately drowned while
bathing at the western extremity of Brighton, on Tues.
day morning. The deceased, twelve years of age, had,
with two oung gentlemen about his own age, strip.
ped on the beach, for the purpose of taking a dip,
without any guide to preserve them from danger.—
The strength of the current soon took them beyond
their depth, and had not a private soldier of the South
Gloucester Militia rushed into the water, to their as-
sistance, all must inevitably have perished ; as it was,
two were rescued from the water, the one in an appa.
rently lifeless state, the other nearly so, and proper
treatment has since recovered them. The young gen.
tlernen who has so nrthappily perished was on a visit
• to Lady Fortescne.

terest, was decided on Tuesday in Tothillfields, in the
presence of some thousands of persons, between a Na-
vigator from the Bristol nurser-, and a Black, who
was found by Richman. The Navigator was as bad
a specimen of the Bristol school as the one who fought
Ballard a few months since, and had no requiste hut
bottom. The men were seconded by Crib and Rich-
man. The battle lasted nearly an hour, and the Na-
vigator, although a man six feet in height, had very
little chance, as he was a slow round hitter. The
Black, who is far from a good fighter, kept himself
close, but when he hit lie never gave the strength of
his body with it, but kept the first joint of his arm
close to his body, and what is technically termed kept
flipping his adversary over the face, and by so many
repetitions of this kind of flipping, he disfigured the
head of the Navigator, so as to prevent his features
being discernible. From loss of strength and blood
the 13risto1 man resigned. The second performance
was a turn-up between Crib, the Bristol man's second,
and Richman, the other second, but Richman only
returned a hit and declined a combat. 'The diversion
of the day, which had commenced so genteelly, was
closed with an elegant bull-bait. •
A new Comedy, in five acts, was performed last
night, at the Haymarket Theatre, called "High Life
in Mc City." It occasioned a protracted contest of ap-
plause and hisses, soli. h terminated in favour of the
latter, although, as far as a e could judge from the
motion of MAIIIEWS'S lips, the picce was announced
for a second rc,..-e;entaticm. The first scene opened in
the most favourable manner; it displayed great variety
of character, strongly and faithfully drat% n, and creat-
ed expectations of surpassing excellence, which the rest
did not realise. All the persons thus introduced to our
notice, and which seemed the leading characters of
the Comedy, before the first act was over, sank into
comparative insignificance, and ceased to ."-mien
attention and interest. A total absence of plot arms
revealed itself, and a series of rather unconnected,
but well written scenes ensued. In t!ie'e the fashion-
able follies of the day were spiritediy exposed, and
the apes of thegreat covered with merited ridicule.
The merchant, who after having acquired .1 1. :tune
in the city, wastes it away in the NVest-end of the
town, was justly compared tar the sun that rises in the
east, and loses its splendour in the west. 'ft: con-
clusion of the piece, however, abounded with impro-
bability ; and it set in the midst of the lotale-t disap•
' pyobation. The Epilogue, spoken by Mrs. G ovER,
and fraught with political allusions, did not iest,Te
the audience to their wonted good humour ; and al-
' though it elicited several bursts of loyal applause,
was also saluted with many hisses. This Comedy is
attributed to Mr. EYRE, who supported one of the
chief characters in it ; and both as an author and an
actor displayed strong marks of genius. His pro-
duction is superior to most of the pieces which have
appeared on our Theatres dui ing the last few years.
It was condemned wantonly, not justly ; and we re-
marked that many hissed merely to enjoy the tumult,
and feast on the pangs of an author, who, though
standing exposed to the view of all, disappointed
their malice, by preserving a manly command over
his feelings.—Mr. Joxis, in an Irish character, sur-
passed all his former efforts at dramatic perfection.
