credit on all concerned in the stupendous ondertekii g,
The most terrific storms of the Atlantic now teak*
not the slightest impression ; and admitting the pos.

tremendous operation of the sea, there is but one

The Royal Cemetery into which the corpse of the
Queen was conieyed, was constructed frees the de.
sign of the late Mr. Wyatt. It was begun in 1810:
An excavation wee formed in the dry rock of chilki
of the whole length and width of the building called
Wthey's Tomb House, within whose walls it iit en-
closed to the depth of 15 feet from the surface. In
this the sepulchre is cobitrected. The direensiosts of
the tomb are 70 feet in lengthi 28 in width, and 14
in depth.
The receptacles for bodies on the elites of the tomb
are formed by massive Gothic columns of an octa-
gon shape, supporting a range of tour shelves; mit
of which, in the space between the columns, is formed
to contain two bodies, the whole range of each side
affording space for thirty.tWo coffins. At the east
end are five niches tok the reception of es many cuf..
fitts. In the middle twelve low tombs ere erected for
Sovereigns. The sepulchre it thug calcalidej to re-
ceive eighty-one bodies. The columns are of Bee
Bath stone, and the shelves of York Shire stone. A
subterraneoss passage is formed from the vault, tine
der the choir of the Chapel, where the coffin it
lowered, and it is then privately placed in the vault.
This is the fourth interment in this vault. The
first was that of the late Princess Amelia who.ws4
removed here efter a tempordry burial •, the tecoadi
that of the late Duchess of Bruoswict • the third;
tbat of the late lamented Prime's* Clelrlottele and
the fourth, that of her late Majesty.
It is impossible to dismiss this sub ilthout
noticing the limited attendeuce horns paid oy
Cie Peerage on this occa-100, as well se by other
persons who occupy • distinguished reek its the
State : neither was their, we believe, auy female of
rank who honoured the ceremony with her presence.
Of his Majesty's Ministers. the teen wing. were
present:—Lords Liverpool, Selmoutb ; the Lord
Privy Seal, the Lord President, the lion. C. Poithursti
G. Cannel, and W. W. Paw
Upon the whole, though something seemed *ante
ing to fill the full measure of pane expectation, yet
there was no disorder, no tumult, such as is usual
when large crowds or. collected. The length, how-
ever, of the journey, by breaking the immense mole
titude into parts, had prevented that confusion which
must have arisen,, had the whole mess been collected
on one spot. As it was, the number assembled sit
Windsor was far less Outs on the occ.i,ieit of the Ls.;
octal et the Princess Chet lose ; but the *WO(' num-
ber scattered ou the road must 114*e been fully at
I great.
The appearance of the Metropolis was unarly simi-
lar to that of a Sunday. All the public offices were
closed, all shops were shut. As fat et we have
learned, the day was observed with equal respeci its
I the country. The (loyal standard was hoisted ha-
-1 mast high, on board the ffielb of war in commisslue at
the several ont-potts ; end each ship was to tire 30
minute guns. The same ceremonies were observed
i at all the garrisons throughout the United Kingdom.

THE FLORIDA INDIANS.

A letter to the Editor of the Savannah Museum,
dated at St. Augustine on the** inst. thus remarks:
—" The reports respecting the Indians in this pro.
since are very erroneous; there are not on this
side of the St. John's, I. the province, five hun-
dred of them, including all ages arid both sexes.
—The most I have ever seen in St. Augustine
has not been more than twenty, including wo-
men and children. It is totally false that they
have been supplied by the Government here with
ammunition ; those that I have seen base optimally
brought io skins, which they barter for blankets,
clothing, &c., They may, perhaps, get small quan-
tities of ammunition also, from these persons with
whom they trade; they could not, indeed, subsist
without it.

" Those that I bare talked with (for many of them
speak English), are heartily sick of the war with the
United States, and say they wish anxiously for peace.
They appear to be perfectly sensible of their want of
strength to contend with the United States; they say
•the war has been fejmented by their worst enemies,
and if it continne4 (hit they shall be totally extermi-
nated. They are new without the means of sub..
sistence, escept what they obtain from hunting;
their corn-fields base been destroyed ; they are
driven from their country and their homes without
provisions, and nearly naked ; had the corning wiu.
ter they avid experience the horrors of famine."

[TROM TIM IMMINGHAM ARGUS-)
(A Paper has lately been established at Birmingham
under this title, with the view chiefly of advocating
the cause of Reform, and promoting the local in-
terests of the place. The Inhabitaots of Birmingham
are so important in the scale of British interests, and
their claims to a participation in the rights of British
subjects are so undeniable, that a local medium of
preasing these topics, and rendering the Press sub-
servient to free discossion, must have long been de.
sirable to Birmingham, and may be of considerable
advantage to the cense of popular right in general.—
The following is an 'awl from the second Number
of the Argus ;—)
The Birmingham Argus seta out on its career in on
age,which may be justly called the " Acts or Rae°.
LuTioas." The period of its commencement, is one
of age calms which the violence of past tempests has
produced; and which assuredly indicates that the
storm has only ceased for a moment, to retorn with
increasing fury. Every part of the political world
teems with apt materials for coming discord—not an
iota of .the extent of Europe offers firm footing for
Misting systems. - They are worn out, and cannot be
effectually repaired. They were established on
bases that no longer exist. They art the relics of

A BROTHER ELECTOR.

ELECTIONEERING PROCEEDINGS.

Mr. Croker snd Mr. Plunkett are both in Dublin,
danvassing Trinity College with great animation.
AT NOTTINGRAW—The Nottingham Replete, of
Friday last, says—" This week has presented an
appearance unparalleled in the electioneering annals
of this town for a long time past, namely, three
candidates on the Whig or independent interest, can-
vassing the electors at the same time. Mr. Denman
arrived in the town on Saturday night, and on Mon-
day evening at five, a meeting of his friends was
called at Mr. Stubbs's long room, Plck.lane, Dr.
Pennington was in the Chair, and an immediate can-
vass was determined on, which accordingly commenced
the following morning. Mr. Birch arrived on Mon-
day, and a meeting of his friends was also held that
evening at seven, at the Lion Hotel, Mr. Alderman
Allen in the Chair, and his canvass was flied to com.
mence on Wednesday morning. Lord Ranclile
also appeared in the town on Monday, and a meet.
iog of his friends and supporters was called, and held
at the large room, at the Black Boy, on Tuesday
evening, Mr. Fellows in the Chair, and a Rao
lotion was passed, that his Lordship's canvass should
also be proceeded in on Wednesday morning; when
on that day, all the three candidates were engaged in
this arduous and, we may venture to say, unpleasant
task ; unpleasant at all times, but doubly so, on this
occasion, because of the agitation which pervades the
town through three candidates soliciting the interest
and support of the same party.—lndecision is the
order of the day; men's minds are confused, and we
are well pleased to see such a marked reluctance
in many to combat with those who have, on former
occasions, been marshalled ender the same banner,
fought, conquered, and triumphed together, end mad;
one common cause in sopportiog the independence el
the town."
The Hull Rockingham says, " in our immediate
neighbourhood, some little imitation has arisen
from the appearance amongst us of several candidates
for a seat in the ensuing Parliament, two, to repre-
sent this borough, and two to obtain the coofidence
of the Burgesses of Hedon."
Mr. Turton has been canvassing Hedon during
the week, and also Mr. Farrand, on, as we under-
stand, distinct interests, and the friends of both are
foil of confidence. Mr. Browne announces himself
this week, and we hear, that there will be at least
one other Candidate.

The Queen IS considered in se precarious a state,

with regard to the care of the person of the KIK°
case of the demise of the QUEEN, and no Parlia.

bargain was made, and the goods sent by a porter to

THURSDAY, JULY 23, ISIB

THE ENGAGEMENT 111..T1VEF.N THE SPANISH
AND INDEPENDENT SQUADRONS.
Letters have been received from Trinidad, dated
the 11th of June, which bring an account of a des-
perate engagement having taken place on the 9th, off
that Island, between the Spanish squadron and that
of the Independents, under the command of Admiral
Barom, in which the former was totally destroyed.
Prior to the engagement the Independent squadron
had captured a great many valuable ships belonging
to the Spaniards. Such is the result of the expected
bro.th het -Aeett these fleets, as stated in the Trinidad
Letiors ; but if this account be true, it is singular
that we should not have had a confirmation
of it in the communications to LLOYD'S, where no
such intelligence appears to have been received this
morningin the letters from the out.perts, though these
announce several fresh arrivals from the West Indies.
Some doubt is also thrown on the accuracy of the
above statement (though we are much disposed to be-
lieve it), by the circumstance that the Brazen, which
brought the intelligence we communicated yesterday,
sailed on the I Ith, and that intelligence stated, that
the Independent squadron, commanded by Admiral
Bitio,t, and a Spanish squadron of equal force, were
then in sight of each other when the Brazen sailed,
and that an engagement was fully expected to take
place on the following day. There are accounts in
town from Cadiz to the Ist of July, stating that the
convoy from the Havannah had had an engagement
with the Insurgent squadron that has so long blockad-
ed that of Cadiz. The latter, it is said, were beat
off, after a severe action of four hours.
That the Belligerent fleets above-mentioned should
have met near Trinidad is extremely probable; as by
previous advice, it appears that Briton intended to
proceed for the Oroonolco with the supplies which ho
had procured at St. Bartholomew's. It will also bre
recollected, that the Spanish squadron had gone down
to St. Bartholomew's to watch his movements; and
that, upon two occasions, they approached him se
closely, that he might have brought them to action;
but, it was stated, that he declined doing so on sc.
count of the incumb•red state of his vessels. Upon
his return to the Main, life Spaniards would no
doubt hover upon his course, and embrace the first
apparently favourable opportunity of attacking him.
We have also received intelligence from Jamaica
Ito the Ist ult., brought by the Rifleman. • The King-
ston Pdpers supply us with nothing new from the
.;patrisit Main. Two Spanish vessels seized by the
Cherub, on the coast of Africa, for piracy, had ar-
rived at Jamaica. The trial of ligt4ll BELUCIIE,
Captain of the General Arismendi, Venexuelian
privateer, on a charge of piracy, took place at
Kingston, on the 18th of May, and terminated in his
acquittal.
No one now doubts that the conspiracy in France
was real, and that it was directed by the intemperate
inteigaets against the Charter and tb liberties et the

AMERICAN PAPERS.

• The following is a brief abstract of the corre-
spondence between Don Ouis, the Spanish Ambassa-
dor, and the American Secretary of State : the latter,
it seems, had received instructions from the Presi-
dent, to propose to the former the following arrange-
meet, as an adjustment of all the differences existing
between the two countries :
' " 1. Spain to cede all her claims to territory east-
ward of the Mississippi.
" 2. The Colorado, from its mouth to its source,
and from thence to the northern limits of Louisiana,
to be the western boundary, or to leave that boundary
unsettled for future arrangement.
" 3. The claims of indemnity for spoliations,
whether Spanish or French, within Spanish jurisdic-
tion, and the suppression of the deposit at New
Orleans, to be arbitrated and settled by Commis-
sioners in the manner agreed upon in the unratified
Convention of 1802.
" 4. The lands in East Florida and to the Perdida
to be made answerable for the amount of the indem-
cities which may be awarded by the Commissioners
finder this arbitration, with an option to the United
States to take the lands, and pay the debts, or to sell
the lands for the payment of the debts, distributing
the amount received 'gully, according to the amount
of the respective liquidated claims against the claim-
ants. No grants of land sebsequent to the 11th of
Aug. 1902 to be valid.
' " Spain to be esonerated from the payment of
the debts, or any part of them.

PAGE V. BILLEN.

The Court was occupied throughout a great part
of Silurday, in hearing an action bropght by the
Plaintiff, Mr. Page, a merchant, against the Defen-
dant Bitten, who was a Messenger of tha Commis-
tanners of Bankrupts, fora trespass, in forcibly en-
tering his house, and retaining possession, by virtue
of* docket which had been struck against the Plain.
tiff for an alleged act of bankruptcy.

A considerable number of witnesses were cumin.
ed, and a great deal of contradictory evidence took
place. The object of the Plaintiff was to show, that
he had committed no act of bankruptcy to justify the
Messenger in taking possession ; and the witnesses
for the Defendant attempted to prove, that the Plain-
tiff had wilfully absented himself from his house, for
the purpose of delaying payment to his creditors,
particularly on the I lth and 14th of March.
Mr. .11:WICK PARK, in summing up the evidenceh
to the Ju►y, observed, that though the cams had oc•
copied considerable time, the question was a very
simple one, when stripped of the greater part of the
mass of evidence which encumbered it. The real
object of instituting the present prosecution, was to
try the question of bankruptcy ; and if the Jury were
satisfied that a trespass had been committed, nominal
damages were all that the Piaintiffcould seek. There
were three points urged by the Defendant. The first
was, that the plaintiff, on a certain day, being at
home, ordered himself to be denied by a servant to
a creditor, who called on him to make a legal claim.
On this point, there was contrary ',ideate, the one
party asserting that Page ordered himself to he de•
hied, and the other the contrary. Now, toles, it
was clearly shown that the denial of the servant was
by Page's order, there could be no proof of bank-
ruptcy. The next point utged, was, that Page had
absented himself from his holm, I. avoid an appoint.
meet made with a creditor Heaved Efinbourg.—
On this point the evidence wet Witty, that the ap.
',ointment was made for six o'cinak. in the main&
of the 7th of March, and that Page remained at
home until seven o'c:ock, and then went out, the
creditor not calling until half-post Wert o'clock. If
the Jury could satisfy themselves that the Plaintiff
withdrew at any hour of the eoprile& for the purpose
of avoiding his creditor, no matter what the time of
appointment would be, it would be an act of bank-
ruptcy ; bet here there was no proof of Pole quilting
his house to avoid his appointment ; on the contrary,
he remained there for an hour after.

Th• Jury withdrew, and after a short consultation,

This was an argument upon a demurrer. The
Plaintiff had been surety for the Defendant for the
payment of the rent of certain premises. Before this
rent-had become due, the Defendant was a bankrapt.
Thia rent, it appeared indeed, had not become due
until the final dividend. The Plaintiffthen, as sta-
tely, being compelled to pay the'rent, brought an ac-
tion against the Defendant for the recovery of the
same. T« this the Defendant pleaded hie bankruptcy.
Item contended that the Plaintiff should, according
tali merit law, have appeared before the Commis-
sioners ■nd proved his debt, and that omitting to do
so he was precluded from any right of action.
The CHIEF JtraTice we opinion that the Statute
alluded to (that binught forward by Sit S...Konatly)
had no reference but to delfts actually due at Oa time
of the bankruptcy, and that therefore this ',debt,
which did not accrue anti' -IftWr tholfelendunt had
obtained his certificate, did not 'tante within` the
meaning of the Statute. •• • • -•-• • •

gg Since the resignation of General Bolivar, and
the appointment of Gen. Paez, the prospects of
South America begin to brighten. Hitherto the fe-
rocioas warfare between Gen. Morillo on the one
hand, and General Bolivar on the other, has been
one scene of blood and carnsge. The Patriots, enlist-
ing ander their banners all the refugees from other
nations, emancipating the slaves, and fighting for
life and independence, as well as every thing that
was dear to them, disdained to receive quarter from
the Royalists, while they, on the contrary, possess-
ing the fullest confidence in their General, and en-
gaged in a cause which they deemed righteous, were
well appointed and reedy to shed the last drop of
blood in the undertaking."
