The following commenication from Lnote's (ef
considerable importance to the commercial interest),
affords reason to expect speedy intelligence of a brush
between the Independent cruisers and the Spanish
ships of
_War accoMpanying the homewsrd-bound
convoy i-

from Jamaica, fell to with, on the 14th ult. iii lat.

under a bine, white, and blue lag the brig hailed
the Crown, and requested to know what titers of •av
wereaccompanying the Spanish boaseward.boond con-
voy then in sight.; said they were Indepiadents, and
wishing her a pleasant passage, bawled away for the
Spanish convoy ; next day heard a smart firing in the
direction of the convoy, but being hazy weather could
not.dincern the vessels."

•
By the arrival of Jamaica Papers to the 10th
ult. we are pot in possession of some interesting
and gratifying intelligence from South America. The
accounts by this channel present the very reverse of
the picture ishfch the Spanish Royalists hate drawn
in their exaggerated details of the late engagements.
:Instead of BoLtexa being either defeated, taken pri-
soner, or wounded, it appears by the intelligence re-
ceived at Curacoa, that whatever may have been the
statements published by the Chiefs on either *idol
the issue of the several actions alladed to, had been
extremely advantageous to the popular cause, and
that Mottir.co, the Royalist General, was himself so
severely wounded at the battle of Puerta, that he had
since died. From the various particulars thus receiv-
ed we gather, that at Calaboze, the first scene of
action in the whole series, the Royalists lost their
ammunition, artillery, and provkions—•ll their offi-
cers' baggage and soldiers' clothing—besides which,
as an•evidence of the severe pre•sute on the King's
troops, Gen. Moesu.o's sw.ord and military cap were
among the spoils of the field of battle. Owing to the
fatigue of the Independent Army, a stnall. division
only was sent in pursuit, which came in contact with
the enemy at Barbacoa, and, as the Spaniards had
been reinforced, was obliged to reteeet. The at•
tart at Sombrero was made by the Royalists,
and failed: The letters froze Congos. have no doubt
tbat the wound received by Moans.° at the action
or Puerta was mortal to the Spanish General. He
was pierced in the groin by a horseman's spear, and
carried to Valencia its • hammock. A corps of
Spaniih hussars, amounting to 500, were at the same
time cat to pieces by the Independents. It is said,
that accounts had come to hand of the arrival of
2200 men (British subjects) at Guayana, to join the
Patriot forces. The Spanish Commander, Du LA
'rosary Md be,n defeated at Ortez, by General
PALI, with the loss of 400 men latled, besides two
officers. Two thousand of the Patriots were reported
to have taken possession of St. Carlos, and to be on
their march for Valencia. Admiral BILION was et
St. Ea statia, having driven the King's squadron, un-
der GAvosa, from the mouths of the Oronoco river.
It is expected thgt Batson will give a good account
of the Expedition that has sailed from Cadiz, if he
can fall in with it. "gybe siegle bigot!a that escorts
the Cadiz transpo►ts will oppose bat a very inadequate
protection against a squadron of Mims, which
Blazon's force amounts to.

French Papers to the 17th instant, and Flanders
Mails, with German and Dutch Papers to recent
dates, have arrived. The Duke of WELtascrost re:
mained at Paris. H the statements in these Papers
be trot, his Grace is not occupied with any very im.
Iportant objects. He was to visit Versailles on the
16th, upon a truly Cockney excursion—to see the
Water-works play f—The business likely to orcopy
the Congress of Sovereigns at Aix.la.Chapelle has
excited mach speculation, and many absured remenre,
opals the Continent. One of the strangest of these,
statements is, that there will be a proposition for'
ceding Belgians to England is exchange for Hanover.
An hotel has been taken at Aix.la-Chapelle for the
Emperor of Reuss's, at the rate of 50,000 francs
for three months. The Archduchess Nikita LOUISA,
Duchess of PARMA, was expected at Vienna on the
sth inst. end to remits some time, her Imperial
Highness having purchased an estate in
_the neigh.
boorhond of that capital, Their Royal Highnesses the

The Spanish Minister of War has ordered the C.;ep-
tain.Getreral of the Province of Andalusia to open
the correspondence of several of the principal British
Merchants residing in Gibraltar, under pretext that
they are in close correspondence with the Insurgents
of South America. The site of British Cotton Ma-
nufactures has been totally suspended; after pe)ing
45 per cent, duties on their original coat, permission
is refused to export them, nor will ;hey return'
the duties. On the 30th April, the Ports of San
Ander, Gorunna, Cadiz, and Alicant were declared
Ports of deposit, where lawful goods were Allowed
to be deposited for one year, on a duty of two per
cent.; the regulations were poblished, and Mer-
chants had- commenced acting on it, when, on the
Bth current, 11. M. has declared the whole matter
suspended, " Herta Nueva Orden," eutil a new
Order ; thus the Merchants, who have acted on the
faith of a Spanish Decree, will find their mistake
`when too Iste.
Mr. ELL:ce, one of the Candidates for Coventry,
is married to a sister of Earl GREY, and is a bro.
iher-in.law of the tale Mr. WutienExo, and one of
the partners in the great commercial house of Sir
Hoot INGLIS, ELLICE, and Co. • -
Mr. PYM, a name venerated by Englishmen, who
has mad..llln...elf respected in Parliament by lige ilk,.
grity and impartiality of his conduct, and beloved In
his neighbourhood by his benefice and hospitality, !ISt
who has a large family to support, has declared, that
although he has proved by hi 4 canvass, that the
majlt-
rity of the freeholders of ii.olferdshire is in his favour,
yet, that he cannot stand a contest with an opponent,
assisted by the Treasury purse, the consequence of
which is, that this respectable man is obliged to yield
to Mr. o,mostr, a Junior Lord of the Admiralty,
, men holding a place of 10001. per annum, declared .by,
152 Members of the Rouse of Commons to be.mitie
less; a man who is Dot 'Mowed to hare an opinieni.
but who is taken to task-if the summons' of the dine
lion bell are mot immediately attended to ; yet sect
a man is thought fit to
.displace Mr. Pim in a seat.
which he has held for foor successive Parliaments.—
However this victory, great as it may appear, is unsa-
tisfactory to -Ministers, as their object was to dis..
place the Marquis of T K ATISTOC, whose great crime
is being a. son of the Duke of BEnrolto, 'Oast.
whop: Ministers are directing all their wrath, for no,
other reason than because he is a constant opposer
of their pernicious measures, and has a soul too no-
ble to be bought. But this is only part of a long-
formed system to bring the respectable part of the
Aristocracy into disrepute, and destroy all that is
worthy and independent ; therefore, let Englishmen
look to it, before this great bulwark of their free-
dom is knocked down and irrecoverably lost.
