SUNDAY. MAY 14.  The I/Deward Island packet brings advices from Trinidad to the 26th March, and from Angostura to the Sth. 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 fora assembled in Papayan, under Caldera, who, it is said, was advancing on Santa Fe. Bolivar bad 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 was 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 bad been conveyed to Trinidad, by a vessel which left Gibral. tar on sth February, having on board Quimga'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 last arrived on Fri- I day. The Constitattionnel announces that the Queen I 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 Thasalay, the 4th instant, and was expected to arrive in Paris on Wednesday last, on her way to Brussels. Gravier, who was arrested while attempting to set fire to the fusee of a machine, 'Urged 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 for the murder of M. Scion, his master. The Duke of Angouleme, now making a tour in the sout-east of France, was expected at Grenoble on the Bth instant, from whence he was to return to Lyons on the 11th, and thence proceed to Bourg and Besancon for Strasburg. The debate on the Customs was resumed in the Chamber of Deputies on Monday, and adjourned to the next day. The five per cent. consols are 73 fr. 65 c....-Bank Stock 1,5021 fr.  His Majesty on Friday had his first grand public dinner party since his accession to the throne.— Carlton House was splendidly lighted and attended ; and amongst the company, we learn with pleasure was the Duke of Sussex. This Royal Duke it is known, had not till lately been of the Carlton House parties; but reconciliation has taken place, and that in consequence of the liberal overtures of his Majesty, chub% his late indisposition.
