On Saturday the Duke of WELLINGTON visited
Marshal BLUCHER, in St. James's Palace. The two
highly distinguished Warriors walked out soon after,
arm io arm 'together ; an immense crowd soon col-
lected and l'eflowed them, and when they got to
Pat-mall it bad encreased so much that they could
scarcely move, when a strong resolute fellow among
the crowd seeing the inconvenience the great charac-
ters were pat to, exerted himself and made a line of
-about two feet wide for them to pass on ; the huzzi-
leg was without ceasing. The Noble Duke appeared
to enjoy the scene very much.
There has been a rumour for the two last days,
that the Princess of WALES has signified her willing-
ness to accept of the encressed establishment of
Fifty Thousand Pounds a-year, which is to be of-
fered 'Mr.-and that she wishes to go abroad. We
state this's !hi current rumour of the day, but of
which we hate no personal knowledge.—(Morning
Chronicle.)

Furvcc Kramer.

Yesterday we received Caraccas Gazettes to the be-
ginning of May last. They present a horrible pic-
ture of that obscure but unrelenting civil war, which
Dow lays waste the provinces of Venezuela. Gene-
sal Bouvsa boasts of having defeated with great
less the Spanish General Boers, near the city of
Valencia, about the beginning of April. However
this may be, the unhappy country seems to be the
scene of the greatest mutual atrocities.
A Lisbon Mail arrived on Saturday. Manufac-
tured goods had fallen there 20 per cent. Gold was
beginning to make its appearance ; but it was bought
up almost as soon as introduced into circulation.
