volting and contrary to nature, to charge this once so

offence; it would be even unjust to say, before it
could be ',ideally proved, that the Qiseen•Mother of
this Prince bad acted only from herself ; yet, it mutt
be known, that she bestowed her confidence, and still
more, committed the charge end education of her
son, with which she alone was intrusted, into the
hands of a Calvinist, of a Republican, and stranger ;
who, moreover, possesses no acknewledzed title that
could distinguish or recommend him in any way for
the 'Heatless of Prince Gitstavus's governor.
" Let nobody allege the name of the famous 'A-

Emperor Alexander would carry dissimulation so far
as not to give any advice at all to Prince Gestaves's

he is in painful snidely for the termination of the

PORT or SPAIN, APRIL 22.-1 send you the latest
Papers end Letters I have received from the Orinoco.
A Captain, also suited yesterday, said, that the
armies on the Apere were in sight, and that a battle
wooed inevitably lake place. Esperience has taught
me to receive dying reports with greet distrest; I
therefore refer you to the letters in question to guide
your judgment.
The British at Margarita, segmented by native
troops to 2500 or 3000 men, were to effect a land-
ing near the city of Ceram, unde► protection of the
squadron, which is far superior to the Royalist.
Cement was besieged by that gallant officer, Go-
neral Bermudez ; and, when the Fly sloop of war
left it lately, was in great distress for provisions.—
The storekeeper has deserted to Bermudez, with all
the details.

General Urdanita commands the expedition from
Margarita, and the brace General Gomez, who com-
manded the Giants of Margarita against Morino, is
also under orders, it is said, to accompany him.
The Congress is getting on well, and a Represen-
tative Government acts like magic on the People.—
The simple Installation of this Body has produced a
perfect union and subordination in all the Chiefs—so
respectable is a free Constitution !—The English are
quite at borne with it ; and General Bolivar, at
leisure to parses the war, while the Vice-President,
M. Zee, with the Secretaries of State, conduct the
routine of Government. You will see the ample powers
vested its the President by the Congress, and Geo.
Boliva► deserves them all.

Tiwitnan, Aentr.l.l.—iiis Majesty's brig Fly,
Captain Tomkinson, came in on the 17th instant, in
eight days from Cameos. lie had previously been at
Margarita, where English had arrived with his force ;
also a Colonel Hetzler, from liambergb, also with
troops; that they then could muster on that island
about %MO Europeans and 3,000 Creoles. The
Council of War bad determined oat to prosecute the
sieges of Cessna and Harcelona ; bet having such a
formidable army, to land to the Westward of 1.,
Gem, end march at once to the Cortical,. They
only waited the arrival of the Ilentiette, which bed
on board the 'coterie: of English's men, to proceed ;
and as it is now some eight or ten days since she past
this island, they most be near about stetting. Capt. T.
tin s, all were its high spirits, aids plenty to eat and

drink ; though unfortunately the typhus fever bad
broken eat among them, and had carried off a greet
wo,. They are closely besieged in Cessna, end
suffering great privations; but Captain T. says they
were determined to hold out until reinforcements
cure from Cache, which they were looking for every
day. I conceive they will look II long while before
they make their appearance. A brig arrived • few
days ago from Angestun, with Gazettes to a late
date, In which mention is made of • division of the
Royalists having been entirely cat to pinto, on the
18th ult. and that Morino was making the best of
his way to Commis and Port Cabello, in two divi-
sions, closely followed by Pees and Bolivar ; and 1
hope to hear soon that they have gives a gold 'c-
oma of Mo.

LONDON:
SATURDAY. JUKE 12, 1819.

The politico] horizon looks black and dismal.
But why should the real Patriot odd the word dis-
mal to the bowstring clouds ? Their contents most
fall on our heads ere the atmosphere coo be clear
again. All the art of mon can do would be unequal
to 'serf the storm. It has been gathering ewer since
the fatal discovery was mode by wicked or ambi-
tious Ministers, of bouncing money, and charging
open posterity the payment of both principal end
interest!! The age of %stern, as it were, is retun-
ing again, hosing gone resod the whole circle:
for, however perodosical it may seem, it is no less
true, that refinement has brought as to the very
door of barbarism. We are metaphorically end
almost literally devaluing our own offspring !! The
great Dr. FR A tot Li w, with his divine discovery of the
conductor, lessened the evils of the natural lightning
there will be occasion for the talents, the ezpe-
rience, end the patriotism of all the moral philoso•
phe►s of the United Kingdom, to atteasper and break
the force of the political thunder and lightning,whkb
the obstinacy sad incapacity of Ministers fo► many,
ton many long years, have been creating and drawing
tog►ther over our heads, and must of course create
much mischief somewhere as it fails.

The State is grievously afflicted with many great
disorders—the National Debt—the Poor's Rates—
the loss of trade by the successful competition of
neighbouring nations—the total absence of the pre-
cious metals by the avaricious, and we will add, the
iniquitous conduct of the Bank, whose profits have in•
created by the distress of the Stale, and whose Di-
rectors base lased the People through their
, flimsy substitute for solid gold, In a more cruel
and galling ratio, Iva times, than any Minister
ever dared attempt to do. They have, in short,
by the interest on their Stock, together with bonuses,
(which, by-the-bye, we see Mr. VANSITTAIT cannot
Ind in his heart to refuse them even now,) made
above twelve, perhaps fourteen, per 01.111. of their
mosey, while the Land-holder hue mit made four and
a half, and the Stock.holder rather less than four.—
But what is of more consequence still is, that we
have a Parliament sitting which has lost the eon&
dente of the People, whose strong arm can sustain,
defend, or pall down a Government which does not
watch over their interest and their happiness. Added
to all this, we are informed from authority that one
of our over-grown colonies iv in a state of the great-
est distress, confusion, and probable danger. The
cave is as follows :--

Letters from the Cape of Good Hope to the end of
March last, bring advices of a most unwelcome no.
tore. The natives from the interior were advancing
in soeh force, laying waste all before them, that it
was found necessary not only to oppose them with
the whole regular force at the Cape, bat to enroll
all the inhabitants capable of bearing arma. What-
ever may be the temporary success of the savages, it
is hoped that Government will be able to put down,
and punish this ioserrection ; but in the meanwhile
much serious loss may ondoatordly be incurred. It
is added that Martial Law wee about to be proclaim-
ed in the colony.

THE FUNDS.

Al half-pest Two o'Clock, the Fends had rather
drooped. The Three per Cent. Consols were done,
for the Account, at 681, which, exclusive of the half
year's interest, is equal to only 671. The Osmium

French Papers received Ibis morning contain a
statement from Namur, that a spring at the foot of a
mountain has disappeared in consequence of the
fortifications constructed in the citadel ; that through
this event, the mountain, being undermined by sub-
terranean waters, has taken • progressive motion
towards the Meese, mid that this effect is so sensible
that the country people designate this eminent* es
the travelling mountain!
The People of Paris are in pest 'saltation at the
announcement from the Miniwry of Finance of an
