MONDAY. MAY Is.  The Leeward Island packet brings advices from Trinidad to the 26th March, and from Angostura to the Bth. It would appear that Bolivar's plan of attacking Morillo's lines with the army assembled on the Apure, had been altogether abandoned for the present. He had left San Fernando on the 20th January, with 1500 men, as it is supposed with a view to return to New Grenada, either to make head against La Torre, who was in Cucuta, or reinforce Santa Ander, who was threatened with a force assembled in Papayan, under Caldasa, who, it is said, was advancing on Santa Fe. Bolivar had also a force in Pamplona, but it was evident that he had enough on his hands, and that all his schemes of freeing the coast of Venezuela must be sacrificed to other attentions. Mercantile letters from La Guira, of the 20th March, state, that confidence wa• so great there, that immense orders for good were forwarding to Europe and St. Thomas; as it was very clear, that although Bolivar had ample range in the woods and wilds, they apprehended no danger from him where the population was concentrated.—These letters state that Santa was retaken in January, but it is mentioned in a vague manner.  The accounts of the Revolution in Spain had been conveyed to Trinidad, by a vessel which left Gibral. tar on sth February, having on board Quiroga's Proclamations, &c. Soon afterwards the London Papers to the 14th February arrived there. This event had excited the most lively interest, and the result was looked for with great anxiety.  The Paris papers of Tuesday la►t arrived on Friday. The Constitutionnel announces that the Queen of England has arrived at Macon, the chief town of the Department of the Soane and Loire. In consequence of all the post-horses having been engaged for the Duke of Angouleme on his tour, her Majesty was detained twenty-four hours, but she resumed her route on Thursday, the 4th instant, and was expected to arrive in Paris on Wednesday last, on her way to Brussels. Gravier, who was arrested while at tempting to set fire to the fusee of a machine, charged with combustibles, under the window of the Duchess of Berri, who is pregnant, has acknowledged he exploded the first petard. The Minis terial papers insinuate that some distinguished Liberals suggested and encouraged the plot, but there appears no foundation for the rumour.— Three more of his accomplices have been arrested Gravier, after having been interrogated, was committed on Sunday night to the Conciergerie. The Court of Assize of Paris has condemned Charles Norman to death fur the murder of M. Scion, his master. The Duke of Angouleme, now milling a tour in the sout-east of France, was expected at Grenoble on die Bth instant, from whence he was to return to Lyons on the 11th, and thence proceed to Bourg uud Besancon for Strasburg. The debate on the Customs was resumed in the Chamber of Deputies un Monday, and adjourned to the next day.  The five per cent. consols are 73 fr. 65 c.—B..nk Ewa 1,5021 fr.
