Extract of a Letter from St. Thomas, dated Sep-
tember 1.---The war on the Main has recommenced !
with new fury, but I believe both parties will res- I
pect humanity. The Spaniards have spread the
news that they soon expect a reinforcement of -10001
troops from Europe, but we do not credit this re-
port here. Many privateers are cruizing hereabout ;
'they captured three vessels out of a convoy from
Havannah bound to Spain, with 3500 boxes of
Sugar, and 30,000 dollars. A vessel is just ar-
rived from the Main from which we learn the total
I defeat of LA To :art's division of Royalists.

PORT Or SAVANNILLA, JI:LY 15—(Eatract of a
letter) :--Our troops hare formed a junction with the
division of Deneral CORDOVA, who came down with 600
men by the way of Ceara on the 11th June. Mompax
was taken without resistance; from thence he went down
to TeneritYe, where we met 400 men, Royalists, escorting
some cannon, whom he attacked, defeated, and made
prisoners. Col. MoNvitu.A, with the combined armies,
was at Carthsgena. Urn. URDD &TVA is in the environs

defeated the Spanish forces at Chereguna. Tie Pre.
sident, Hours*, is in Angola with 3.000 ism and
General VALDES is in the environs of Popyan, the
Icortimunication with the Kingdom is entirely open.--
Daily quarrels tale place between the Spanish Chiefs ;
imprisonment and arrest. occur daily.

Self-Degraded as is the situation of his Manaves
Ministers, we trust they will not be sutfered to
escape. At the approaching meeting of the House of
Commons it will be the duty of some public-spirited
member to move, and of every Independent Member
to support the motion, for a Committee to enquire
into the pretended rumours which led to the manu-
facturing of the Milan Commission. Such a Com-
mittee should not be a select or Secret Committee,
before which garbled extracts may be laid by the Mi-
nisters themselves ; hut a Committee of the whole
House, which will be thus enabled, at once, to put
these Ministers upon their Itrial. his will
lead to a complete exposure of the foundation of
a system which has disgraced the country in the eves
of Foreigners, corrupted its morals, and insulted its
KING. These mischiefs are irreparable ; and even
the punishment of Ministers can be nothing more than
a warning example to all their successor,. But it
is the Kinn himself who has the most reason to
complain of the infamous proceedings which were de-
stroyed by the Ministers themselves, on Friday ;
Mad those therefore, who pride themselves on their
ultra loyalty, will give the hest proof of it by go-
ing in Addresses to his MaJcsvc, to dimities his
servants from his presence and his councils for
ever. It is to those who are loyal, in their heart rather
than in their language, that we address ourselves; and
those, we sincerely hope, will lose not a luntaeui in
addressing their &militias, and endeavouring to
rescue the Monarchy front the contempt into which
these Ministers are about to bring it. Well, indeed,
may they complain of dosigniog men, whose object is
to subvert the Oovernment ; when every action of the
complainers is a direct invitation to these of whole
they complain. What, for instance, can be a awe
palpable insult to the Kenn, thaw the treatment whist
has been given to Isis Message to the two Houses of
Parliament That Message, our readers will recollect,
stated that the Quasi bad conducted herself ins ma-
w Welsh called for a serious inquiry ; and his MA.
'WV therefore recommended the Parliament to Wed-
IMP it immediately. Well.—The Commons very ca-
Valletly, sent up an Address to that same Wass,
enseliod in language obilimely censuring the Kivu's
Meteorl sad they have, ever since, allowed that Meer

- ' *

moth raven on their hum,' 'throat paying soy
farther attention to it. So mach for the Commons.
The Lords have treated tie Message with almost as
little ceremony;, for, ha+ing opened the dlthy Bag
which accompanied it, and having examined. its
contents, and discussed a Bill of degradating
founded upon it, they have swept twat from their
table the whole mass of hag and bill together.
This is the reception which has been given by
Parliament to the Kisro's Message, upon a subject the
most important which ever engaged the public, or the
Parliamentary attention ; and who are the persons
that have caused all this? Not the poor, miserable,
vituperated radicals: not the cruel and envious opposi-
tion ; but the limes own servants, and their very
good friends in both Houses: the pious Mr. Wit.-
naaroaca in the Commons, and the steady Earl
of Ltveitrool. in the Lords. The former supported by
the SICRETART Of STAT:, and the Representatives of
one house at button, of the two houses at Old Serum,
and of the Pig-styes at Appleby ; and the latter sup-
ported and cheered by Lords of the Bed-chamber, by
Chamberlains, by Masters of the Horse and Ord-
nance, by the President of the Council, and by the
Loan Mon Crtsisceu.oa. If these are the KINO'S
friends, we can only say, that the saner he is deli-
vered from surh friends the better ; as well for his on•n
honor as the safety of his people.

Ills confidently asserted. that it is the intention of l
the Queen, to bring an action of dander against a ties
tilts -- Duke, who had taken a conspivsues part la
the late proceedings.
Yesterday, his Majesty, accompanied by Colonel
Seymonr, the Bytom in Waiting, attended divine
service at the Chapel Boys!, in his Palace, St. James's.
On the King's return, the Caere Circe/car informs us,
the Nlall in St..l iines's-park was lined with spectators
genteelly dressed ; the gentlemen took of their hats,
and made their obeisance, in which the ladies also
joined. His Majesty sat forward in his carriage, and
rude with his hat uk, acknowledging the dutiful obei-
sance of his subjects.
The Duke of Sussex, who on Monday se'nnight
humoured Sir Godfrey and Lady Webster with a visit,
as stated in our last, did out take his departure from
the Abbey, until the Thursday following. Nest morn-
ing, Sir Godfrey and his Lady, accompanied by Sir
Francis Burdett. Mr. Ilubhousc, Mr. Douglas Kin-
i iird, and Mr. Ellice, M.P. fur Coventry (who were
sojourning at the Abbey) paid a visit to Tunbridge
Wells, and had the honour to dine with his Royal
Highness.
A Boston paper, of the 1 lth October, has the fol-
lowing curious liotiC, :
" Miss Frances Ahoy Fiticlarence, daughter of the
celebrated Mrs. Jordan, of the British Theatre, and
grand-daughter of the late King of Great Britain,
has arrived at Neve York, and will probably appear on
the American boards.•' The same paper. to impress
the people of America with some ilea of the intense
interest taken by the inhalitants of England, in the
i proceedings against the Queen, coniimiinieates the fol.
ilowing extraordinary piece of information, which willW
appear as new to all O readers Os it must have been
surprising to its own. " The price of newspapers in
, tastlion, containing the proceedings of the Trial of
$s Queen, wets from half-a-crown to a pound note

say, " her husband nos not it to live, and that he
ought to be soon put out of the way."
After evidence w.s called iu behalf of the peimserm
which print ipally went to character, Baron *mitt re-
capitulated the evidence, and having animadverted
sharply upon the testimony of soave of the witnesses
adduced in the prisoner's defence, expressed his hope
that the Jury would use the strictest scrutiny ix the
seers I duty entrusted to them. HislAtedship seemed
greatly nifeeted thrthvg sbay4trates. Ifive AorT slaws
retied, and in about half an hour returned 'the follow-
ing vs•rdict .
Ann Byrne, Not Guilty of administering prison to
Edward Byrne, with intent to murder.
Both the prisoners were found Guilty of the con-
spiracy to a:inainister poison with felonious intent.
The Jury recommended the Prisoner. Constantino
Molloy, as an object of mercy, in consideration of Ws
youth. '1 hey further recotutneaded the prisoner. Jane
Byrir, to mercy, on the slender ground of previons
good character.
Baron Smith said he perfectly ageed with the Jury
in thinking the buy, Constantine Molloy, a. it object
fur mercy, and would transaait the recommendation,
accompanied by one from himself, but would nut
think he would be justified, nor would it be con-
sistent with the strict discharge of his duty to do
any thing more in the case of the prisoner, Jane
Byrne, than merely transmit the recommendation
of the Jury, unaccompanied by any observations of
his own—this Isis Lordship would do. The Prisoners
we-e then reutoted from the bar.
On Monday, the 6th inst. the prisoners wets
btought up to receive sentence, when Baron Smith,
in tears, addressed them, and pronounced upon them
the awful sentence of death. Outing the trial, the
woman and the boy were both extremely agitated, and
the subs of the latter distressing to the awlienee aid
court. After receiving sentence, they were removed
(ram the bar in a state of dreadful agony.
