that the Spanish authorities bad declared the whole
coast of Columbia, except Porto Cabello, la a state of
blockade. Their naval force coasists of one frigate,
two brigs, five schooners, and six or eight pi ivateers
they hare eaptared six American vessels which
were going iato the Republican Ports with provisions,
as well as a British cutter from St. Thomas, and a
British Merchant ship from Barbados., all of which
had been carried iota Porto Cabello sad condemned.
The market for Americas produce was very dull both
at Carson and St. Thomas, owing to the blockade
of the ports on the main.

Judge Moots was to be at Limerick on Saturday last,
and then adjourn the Special Commission to the lltls
or 'Ml.—These papers contain a long account of the
dinner gi►en by the LORD Mo►oa of Dublin, to the
new LORD LIIUTUNANT. The entertainment passed
off well.

The proceedings at the Norfolk County Meeting,
with an account of which a large portion of our paper
is this day occupied, will be read with an interest cor-
responding to their importance, and all the genuine
friends of the Constitution must be gratified at the
triumph of public opinion displayed on the occasion.
The enemies of the people, cannot call the Earl of
Auszemat.e. Lord SCP/111" and Mr. Coat, dema-
gogues, Jacobins, and radicals; even blr. WODItHOUSI,
a cream of the Ministers, ebewed powerful symp-
toms of ratting.—He attributed our distresses to the
weight of taxation, and offered a recantation at the
shrine of public opinion. This is a pretty home thrust
at ministers. It gives a colour to the eppreaching ses-
sion, and may be looked upon as verifying our predic-
tions for some months past, and eves within the last
week. The declarations of the Noble Lords and the many
great Land Proprietor'', are unequivocal. We rejoice
at the Resolution in favour of Retorts. It must come,
and we hope aid trust it will be carried without the
wicked interference of an expiring Junta, which have
in so many instances spilled the blood of Englishmen,
associated for the recovery of those rights guaranteed
by the British Ceastitation. That noble fabric was
the envy of the world until undermined and rendered
nugatory by the most weak and reprobate set of meta
that ever directed the affairs of any country. We
have long foresees and foretold that the sacrilegious
attempts of those political swindlers to bring this Go-
vernment to a state of despotic rule, would bring the
people to a proper sense of feeling, sad would ulti-
mately urge them to demand and obtain their just and
unalienable rights. Our expectations will wen be
accomplished.

A Ministerial paper has given an extract from a
private letter from Vienna, dated Dec. 9.7, which states
that the reports which have been circulated during
several days put, respecting the possibility of the
maintenance of place, are, unhappily, devoid of all au-
thentic foundation. But h may be regarded as certain
that hostilities will lot commeace before the Emperor
Alexander has add d to each of the Sovereigns a
Manifesto, containing the motives which have deter-
mined him to engage in a sew war, and an exposition
of his moderate projects, if Providence favour the Inc-
ens of his enterprise.
The Treasury Minute regulating the redaction of
salaries is the Public o.fices, lately noticed, is said
to have been finally settled, and will be published in
a few days. It ordains a redaction of fire per cent.
upon present salaries, and of ten per cent. ■pun all
increases; and in case of death, the representative of
the party deceased to have the benefit of the asperse-
nation fund. This indulgence is sot to be grained
to any new appointments, and in case of vacancies in
the several classes of clerks, they are lot to be filled
up by seniority, bat by merit, at the recommendatiou
of the chief of the office.

The Officers of the Storekeeper's Department are

It will be seen that with one exception, the cast is as
penal, and the established favourites exerted all their
powen to render the Opera effective. Signora CAR DORI
will prove a high acquisition to the company. She is
represented as making a first appearance, and if that
be really the case. we have seldom witnessed so sm.-
coastal a one. The full power of a voice, is never de-
►eloped npon such an occasion, and in consequence
we cannot pronounfe definitively upon its extent, ..l•
though we fear it' to be limited. But the charming
expression and purity of taste displayed by this lady,
will always reader her singing no less an object of
attraction. than a soutce ofdelight, to all the lovers of the
beautiful in masic.A new Ballet was produced wilt soccer..
The House was crowded to an uncommon extent, con-
