KINGSTON, lJamaiea] Aug. 10.

The St. Jago Gazette states, that his ma
iesty's encouragement has been directed to
institute prosecution against William Shaw,
ESQ. concerned in q correspondence which
lately took place with Rigaud, respecting GER
tain assistance to be afforded him.

By the Agnes we derive some particular
of the operations carrying on in the vicinity OF
the Caracas. 1t appears that Gen. Francis
CO de. Miranda marched from Caracas at the
commencement of this month, against the cl-
~ of Valencia, with an army of about 5000
men. He made vigorous attack on 1t, and
after aiis obstinate conflict, was compelled to
retreat, with considerable loss. Having oo-
tanned reinforcencnts, he on the 9th lnstant'
resumed hostilities against that important
place, but was forced to retire, with the loss
of upwards of 500 men. Determining to per-
severe in the object be had in view, he was
augmenting his force, and making every dis-
position TO reduce thst city, and there was
little doubt of his success. The embargo
which had been laid on for considerable time
since at Caracas was raised, and the great
est respect paid to British shipping and SUD-
iects, but American vessels were daily sent

the Murder with which he was charged, and
sentenced to be hung on Friday the 9th inst.
The testimony on which he was convicted,

DEAR Sir,

interest. l liked you: and aittr you were
president l followed you little way, till !
found you wandering out OF the path, and
getting bewildered, and into difficulties, and
yet would not return :-then left you with
sorrow of heart, you may be. sure; much Ike

trying to get his crazy father, that was stray

1t was generally believed you would correct
many of the worst errors that Mr.. Jefferson
fell into thought SO for one. May be it
was because wished it so heartily, though it
was this that helped you to the presidency
but it has proved to be forlorn Lope. MAJ,
people say you now see plain enough the fro.
priety of federal measures, and would readily
apply them, if you were not afraid OF losing
your Office, as you wish to run another heat:
but can tell you, you need not have any fears
of that kind. Your office would be secured
for you that way, more firmly than any other;
for large proportion of those that support
you now, the commercial part at least, have a
sufficient belly full of democracy, and all its
promised blessings, but are too headstrong to
own it; but if you we're to veer round BY dee
grees, and give substantial reasons for it, (as
Heaven knows you could easily do) they would
still support you, and thank We too. As to
the federsIists, you might count on every
mothers son of them. They, poor f lows,
have so long been borne down and oppressed
by the scandalous old Hindu philosopher po-
icy, that whoever would restore the " days of
other times" again, would rivet their conf
dence forever. You bid specimen of their
gratitude, when you made the unfortuHate
settlement with Mr.. Erskine every federal
paper in the union rung with your praise. Are

The bulletin of to-day is just arrived. Iii
as follows:
a. Windsor Castle, Aug. !.
There is no alteration in his nlajcsty's
state since yesterday
TSigned by the physicians.
The bulletins since Monday have been ia
yorable, and the sleep and food his majesty
has taken, have given him some increase OF
strength. It is said too, that his majesty has
been able to take short Walk in his apart
ments.
The following are extracts from the Morn-
ing Papers Of to-day:
We stated yesterday the favorable change
that had taken place in his majesty's affecting
mLadv. He ate some solid food on Monday,
and in the morning Of Tuesday his constitu-
ton appeared to have rallied, and he continu-
ed more quie. throughout the day. The ply
sicians now inform us, that though the bodily
strength is imp owed, the features OF the dis
order "a new personihcation of the disease)
continue much the same. We hear that they
are now convinced there is an eHusion on the
brain, for experience shews them, that what
ever changes Ills majrsty's bodily frame I'M
dergoes, and whatever refreshment he OBJ
tains, either by food or sleep, the mental dis
order remains nearly the same. With this
certain symptom Of the malady so apparent,
it is vain to hope for his majesty's restoration
to sound health, though the strength OF his
constitution may even yet prolong his lite tor
a time"
The accounts of last night stated his ma
jesty to be in tranquil state, and that bis spi-
rits as we'll as his bodily strength had been
somewhat improved. The refreshment which
he has lately been prevailed upon to take, has
produced this favorable effect, and some are
of opinion that his present state may be consi-
dered as indicative of the crisis of his disorder
having happily PASSED away"
/" We had the pleasure last night, to learn
that a material improvement, has taken place
in his majes,y's health. His appetite has re-
turned; and his strength, from this circum'
stance and from the greater portion OF sleep
he has lately had, has very considerably en-
creased"
