LM- tf, PORTUGAL. From the Last Portuguese Papers ORDER OF THE DAY. Head- quarters, Fonte Guinaldo, May 7, ! Sl2. His Excellency Marshal Beresford Cnnnt Tra- ncoso, after having so recently had a new motive to testify his satisfaiSion, and bestow on the Por- tugiiese troops the praises they have merited by their valour, sees himself with the. greatest regret under the necessity of expressing his displeasure, unfortunately too well grounded, at the miscon. j duft of the division of the distrifl n( Oporto, and j part of that of the province of Miriho. These j troops, without cause, abandoned the heights of i Guarda, and fl? d disgracefully before the enemy. ! This must be sufficient for these troops, since they are Portuguese, completely to feel thp disgrace with which they are overwhelmed. His Excel- lency here observes, that fear always produces the danger which it wishes to shun. These 6 or 7000 men being on the heights of Guarda, the enemy appeared on the side of Sabugal in superior num. bers ; the chiefs prudently ordered a retreat, which was conduced with regularity in front of the enemy's cavalry, through the wh- Ie length of the plain, extending to those heights, which is nearly a league. While the infantry retired in good order, the cavalry of the enemy, though in the plain, did not attack it, and the whole of the in- fantry arrived irt good order at the steep declivity of the heights of Guatda, on the side of th » Mon- dego. Here all the danger from the cavalry had ceased, because forty men of the infantry, holding firm, would have been sufficient for the contest. The regiment of militia of Oporto was posted on thg declivity, forming the rear- guaid. The enemy ordered about ha'f a dozen men to dismount, who fired about the same number of shots, and she rain which fell causing the greater part of the muskets of the regiment of militia of Oporto to miss fire, a panic seized the whole regiment, threw it into disorder, and the consequence was a disgraceful flight; which panic, disorder, and flight, were communicated by the fugitives to all the other corps. The cavalry of the enemy, which did not think of descending the mountain, seeing this ex- traordinary flight, descended, and made from 100 to 200 prisoners ; and his Excellency has been in formed, that five standards were thrown away and abandoned by their bearers, in their consternation, an* i that several men were drowned in the Mon- dego, into which their terror precipitated them.— His Excellency repeats, that fear is always blind, and causes the dangers which it wishes to avoid. If these troops had preserved their good order, the enemy would not have advanced, and they might have quietly taken tbeit new position with- out the loss of a single man. The regiment of Militia of Oporto has been the first cause of this disgraceful occurrence, the first of the kind that has befallen the Portuguese arms during the three last years. His Excellency therefore orders that this regiment shall deposit its colours in the chamber of Oporto, ( and his Excellency requests the officers of that chamber to take charge of them) where they shall remain till the regiment, by its good conduct in the pre- sence of the enemy, shall wash away the stain which has fallen on it on the heights of Guarda, or by irs iegularity, discipline, and Z" al, shews its repentance, and determination to clear itself, as a Portuguese corps, from the imputation it has in- curred. His Excellency has been informed that the officers of this regiment, and especially the commander, behaved well, and exerted themselves to the utmost to restrain and rally the soldiers, for which his Excellency thanks them, and feels the situation in which they were placed by their sol- diers : but this event will shew to the officers of the Militia the necessity of maintaining in their corps a decisive subordination, and prompt obe- dience, and that every officer shall submit him- self, without hesitation or reply, to his superiors, and requiie the same of his inferiors, instead of passing over every military fault without any observation wha'ever. This has been the true cause of this event, so disgraceful to us, as his Excellency cannot believe that it can have hap- pened from want of personal valour, since these men too are Portuguese, and the- same as consti- tute the corps of the line, who expose themselves to every danger with the utmost bravery, wheie honour and the cause of thei' count y call them. The regiments of Militia of Aviero and of Oli- veira de Azemeres in like manner lose their co- lours, and can only regain them in the same man- ner as has been pointed out to the regiment of Militia of Oporto ; and the regiment of Militia of Periafiel, which had lost one, shall place another in deposit in the chamber of Oporto, and be sub- jeiS to the same conditions as the other regiments. His Excellency orders, that the individuals who carrieJ tbe lost standards, shall be tried by a coun- cil of war. This same division, ' ome days s nee, had nearly IfiOO fugitive men who have not re- joined iht- ir Corps ; ihese pien shall be deprived of she privileges they posses- ed, as they have indeed incurred the punishment of death for the crime of desertion ; and Brigadier- General Trant will cause to be tried by a Council of W. ir, th ise officers and soldiers who were foremost iu setting the example of flight; and the remainder of these 1600 men shall be sent to the troops of the line, where a ri- gorous subordinati > n shall prove that they do not want Courage. His Excellency, however, finds some consolation in having been assured of the good conduft ot all the commanders of corps, an Pro- vince of Minho, viz. Miliiia Regiments of Ci.- u mans, Braga, Ville de Conde, Barallos, Bareo, and the two Catailonsof UriiaO, which were here, were riot so panic- strnck a= the o.' hcrs, they were never iheless very far from being exempt from it ; bui Brigadier Wilson informed his Excellency that the two battallions from Un'ao, and part of the Biaga Regiment behaved themselves well. Colonel. S;. with some few exceptions, of all the other officer Although the corps of the division from the pi Pereira Commanded one of those battalions. THL » division lost no colours, and the absent are about 300, in respefl to which the same measures will be adopted, as with the absent from the division of the Oporto distrifl, and similarly to the officers who co idufh'd themselves unworthily* His Excellency rrcommends to these militia to observe and imitate the coticluiS of all the other militiaj Those from Traz- oz. Montes, and also their General, have given his Excellency reason for praise, and likewise the conduft of the, three tegiments from Bena Baxa, under the orders of Brigadier Lecor, was commendable—. they paid attention to, and obeyed their officers, and const*, quently retired before a superior enemy, without his daring to attack them— his Excellency returns his thanks to the said Brigadier, and these three ' regiments, viz. : Castello Branco, IJanha and Covilha. His Excellency finds it his duty to state the er » cellent conduQ of the garrison of Almeida, tinder the orders of the Governor, Colonel Le Mesurier, when the enemy approached that place. His Ex- cellency gives his thanks to the said G ivtmoif and Oarrison, in which are comprehended a regi- ment belonging to the Oporto distriff. The conduft of the militia throughout all the kingdom, except on this unfortunate occasion, was always good in respefl to opposing the enemy ; and his Excellency does not entertain a doubt, but that the regiments which have been to blame, will not fail seizing the first opportunity to recover their honour, and prove themselves Portuguese. The General officers did every thing in their power to restrain and colleil the troops j but those who were seized with panic, neither saw, nor heard, nor, in short, knew what they were doing: thus their efforts were rendered useless; but his Excellency is fully satisfijd with them. His Excellency cannot omit mentioning Caps tain J. Vieira, of the 11th cavalry, who, with forty horse, detained for 15 or 29 miutes the French squadrons, and thus gave time to the fu- g'tives to cross the Mondego. This is a proof what the infantry might, with a little order, have effected. His Excellency, as a testimony of his satisfaction with the conduct of this Officer, ac- cording to the accounts lie has received from Brigadiers Trant and Wilson, will propose him to his Serene Highness the Prince Rsgent, our Lord, for the rank of Colonel. Thus, whilst his Excellency praises when there is reason for it, in a contrary case he will like- wise publicly disapprove ; and informs the troops of this, that they may take care to give occasion for commendations, and avoid giving cause for reprehension. ( Signed) MOZI. N'HO, Adjutant- General. LONDON POLICE. MARYBOROUGH- STREET— An Attorney Waj held to bail at this Office, for assaulting a lady's maid ; and a constable and two others, for aiding and assisting in the said assault. The following are the particulars of the case:— The prosecutrix is maid to Mrs. E , a lady of fortune, who resides apart from her husband. The attorney went to the lady's house, as the agent of the hus- band, on Saturday, with the other persons, to get some pictures, during her absence : there were only two maid- servants at home; and on the prosecutrix being asked for the pictures, she lock- ed the room door, and refused to part with the key until the return of her mistress, but offered to send her fellow- servant in pursuit of her } but this the party refused, and kept her belsvv. The constable sent one of the men for a chissel to break op? n the door ; but he observed it would be easier to wrest the key from the hand of the prosecutrix than to break open the door, and, assisted by the attorney, this was accomplished ; but in tha' sort ot way which drew blood from her hand, and bruised her a ms. The party got away the pietures after the assault.— The Magi- strate commended the prosecutrix for her zeal in protecting the property of her mistress* UNION- HALL.— Isaac Wood, the waterman, of pugilistic celebrity, who fought Richmond, rhe black, was on Friday night apprehended by Goff and Clark, on a Judge's warrant, charged with assaulting Mr. Beadle, a Custom- house Officer, in the execution of his duty. The Officers took him into custody a little before twelve o'clock at night, and on their way to the watch house, when near Blacklriars- bridge, on the Surrey side, he escaped from them, ran down the steps, plunged into the water, and swam to a noat, moored at a distance from the shore. Finding her too fast, however, for him to unmoor, and seeing the Of- ficers near at hand, he again took the water, and reached tome floating timbers farther into the river : in attempting to get upon them they gave way, and he again sunk, but regained them at one end as the Officers got upon them at the other. Finding it impossible to escape, he put himself in a posture of defence— a desperate bat- tle ensued, but superior science and skili were obliged to submit to superior numbers : he wai secured, taken on shore, and next morni-. g com- mitted to Newgate, from whence he is to be taken to Maidstone Jail, to take his trial at tha next Assizes. EP On Thursday evening, as Ensign Madder^, of the 30th regiment, was passing along the streets of Leeds, rrear the M ot- h ill, he was assaulted by two or three men, one of whom made a thurst at him with a sword, which he drew from under hii coat, and inflicted a wound upon the Ensign's thigh.

Our Plymouth Letter, of this morning, con. tains the following account of a most brilliant and successful exploit performed in the Mediterra- nean : " An account has been received by the Donna Eulatia, from Gibraltar, of a very brilliant and gallant exploit, which was performed in the har- bour of Malaga a few days before she left Gibral- ter.— The boats of the Hyacinth , of 20 guns com- manded by Captain Usher, and those of the ( Jos- hawk, commanded by Captain James Lilburn, went into the harbour of Malaga, where they stormed and took possession of two small forts, the guns of which they spiked, and destroyed the ammunition, & c. The Marines and Seamen then returned to their boats, and proceeded to the at- tack of six French privateers, and several other vessels which lay in the harbour, laden with sun. dry articles, the produce of French plunder from the unfortunate inhabitants of Malaga, all which they captured and brought away, notwithstand- ing :! e " incessant fire kept up on them by the troops on shore. " Those vessels with their cargoes, were all sent for Gibraltar, and were entering the harbour when the vessel which brought the intelligence sailed thence, on the 7th instant. " The loss in this most gallant enterprise has been severe. Captain Lilburn of the Goshawk, and many of the crews of both vessels, being killed, aud several wounded." We are happy to announce, that one of tthe frigates which made so many captures has been caught. The Telegraph from Plymouth inform- ed the Admiralty yesterday evening, that one of them had been destroyed by the Northumberland just as she was entering I'Orient. There is a re- port tha* the other frigate has been also destroy- ed by the Cumberland; but no such intelligence has reached the Admiralty. ' FROM TBS TUOT. Jt was yeterday confidently stated in the latter part of the dav, that Earl Grey and Lord Gren- ville were Jtflually with the Piince Regent at the time ; and that all difficulties to the arrangement of a new and c mprehensive Administration, un- der the superintendance of these Noble Lords, had been removed. It does not, however, appear that things have yet advanced to that state of maturity, although very considerable progress has been made. We are happy to find that the Earl of Moira has not, as it was reported, superseded the Mar. qnis Wellesley in the commission from the Prince Regent to manage the task of bringing together the parties proposed to be included in the new plan ; much less is it correft that the Noble Mar. qtiis had failed in his efforts, and had in eonse* quence retired to his seat in the country. The truth is, that the Earl of Moira has been joined with the Marquis Wellesley in this very import, ant and delicate undertaking, principally with a View to the faeili'ies which he was particularly qualified to give in the conciliation of Earl Grey and Lord Grenville to those with whom it was proposed to unite them. We are happy to find that the Noble Earl has, in the extent to which the negociation has already gone, fulfilled the high expeditions so justly entertained from the interposition of his mediatory powers and influ- ence. . The Earl of Moira was sent for by the Prince Regent, on Tuesday evening, and, we under- stand, received from his Royal Highness the most distinct authority to commnnicate his wishes to his friends, that they should foim an Ad- ministration, on the most liberal basis, that might not merely put an end to the present distracted state of affairs, but tend to conciliate the good will, and sscure the confidence of every descrip- tion of his peopje. It is understood that the Prince Regent gave the Noble Earl full powers, and put into his hands the answers which had been received by the Marquis Wellesley from all the considerable men to whom application had been made, desirihg him to follow up the ne- gotiation which Lord Wellesley had so properly begun. It is understood that the Noble Earl laid before his Royal H ghness a faithful repre- sentation of the actual posture of the kingdom; and impressed, in a very forcible manner, on his mind, the necessity of an immediate arrange- ment that ? hould restore the Government to its efficiency. The candid, firm, and disinterested spirit, mixed with the most affectionate rfespect for his Royal Highr. ess's feelings, manifested in the whole ot the Nobis Earl's conduct on this ocr casion, h, id the most ' lively effect on the Prince's sensibility, and he expressed himself in terms of fervent gratitude for his loyal and friendly ad- monition. On Tuesday evening the Noble Earl had an in- terview with Earl Grey, in Portman- qnare, and communicated to him the commands he had re. ctived to attend his Royal Highness the next day; and yesterday morning, previous to his audience of the Princc Regent, he again saw both Lord Giey aud Lord Gienville. Earl Moira, therefore, went to Carlton house prepared to fulfil the Prince Regent's instructions. He had a long conference with his Royal High- ness, and afterwards met some of the principal Statesman at Apsley- house, the residence of the Marquis Wellesley, where they were assembled to receive his report; and the issue of that consulta- tion, he forthwith submitted to his Royal High- ness. COlmiElt OFFICE, ONE O'CLOCK. By his Royal Highness's command, all the present Ministers waited upon him at twelve o'clock this day. The following is an outline of the Correspond- ence between the parties consulted, respeflirrg the principles and basis of a new Ministry. The substance of the joint letter of Lords Grey and Grenville is as follows:— " They are perfectly ready to sacrifice all personal feel- ings, in order to give effedi to the vote of the House of Commons, in the present alarming crisis of public affairs. " They express their sincere acknowledgments to Lord Wellesley, for his powerful exertions in support of the Ca- tholic claims; and state their perfe< 5t concurrence in his first principle on this subjeih " With regard to the war in the Peninsula, they declare, that no persons can more deeply feel than they do the im- portance of its successful termination ; but that in regard to its management, it is difficult, without an acquaintance with the details, and all the circumstances of the war, which can only be accessible to persons in office, to give a decided opinion. " They are perfeilly ready, however, to enter into a dis- passionate discussion of that important question ; but that it is fair to declare, that they entertain doubts whether, in the present distressed state of the country, it will be found prac- ticable to increase the public burthens. " Lords Holland and Lan* downe concurred generally in that opinion; and particularly in the part which refers to the powerful exertions of Lord Wellesley in support of the Catholic claims. " Mr. Canning and Mr. W. Pole are of course understood to concnr throughout with the Noble Marquis who makes the proposition ; in whose principles and opinion the Lords Moiia and Erskiue, together with Mr. Sheridan are said to coincide," The following is the substance of Lord Liver- pool's answer and that of his colleagues, to Lord Wellesley : " That it was unnecessary to discuss the principles of the basi> proposed by Lord Wellesley for a new Administration ; because he and his colleagues desired to decline being mem- bers of any Administration formed by Lord Wellesley. 11 Lsrcf Melville assented to the principles maintained by the Marquis Wellesley; and was willing ro serve - with, but not under his Lordship. u The Budget, to be brought forward immediately, was left ready prepared by Mr. Perceval. It adds two millions to the present taxei." EARTHQUAKE IN SOUTH AMERICA. FURTHS'R PARTICULARS. S R. THOMAS'S, APRIL 8.— The 26th of March has been a day of woe and horror to the province of Venezuela ; at four o'clock, P. M. the city of Caraccas stood in all its splendour. A few mi- nutes later 4,500 houses, 19 churches and con- vents, together with all the other public buildings, monuments, & c; & c. were crushed to atoms by a shock of an earthquake, which did not last a mi- nute, and buried thousands of its devoted inhabi- tants in rtiin and desolation. That day happen- ed to be Holy, or Maunday, Thursday, and at the precise hour every place of worship being crowded, to commemorate the commencement of our Saviour's passion by public procession, which were to proceed through the streets a few minutes afterwards, augmented the number of hopeless sufferers to an incredible amount, as every church was levelled with the ground, be- fore any person could be aware of the danger ; the number of sufferers taken out of one of the churches, amounting alone ( two days after the disaster) to 300 ; besides those, it may be pre- sumed, which could not yet have been dug out of such heaps of ruins, gives an idea of the ex- tent of the calamity. The number of dead are differently stated, from four to six, and as far as 8,000 ; horrible as this catastrophe appears, it would be a matter of some consolation to know that the vicinity of that city afforded some sup- port of shelter to the surviving mourners, but the next sea- port town thereto, viz. La Guayra, has in proportion suffered still more, and that must have been the case along its immediate coast j huge masses of the mountains have been detached from the summits, and hurled down into the valies, deep clifts and separations of the immense bed of rocks still threaten future disas- ters to the hapless survivors, who are now oecu- pied to bury and burn the dead, and to relieve the numerous maimsd, perishing for want of medical aid, shelter, and other comforts. If any particular class of persons had suffered more than others, it may be infeired, that it must be the Clergy, who were at that time ne- cessarily assembled in the churches ; and the superb barracks at Caraccas, containing two bat- talions of veterans, and the artillery corps pre par • ing for the procession, having been laid flat, it is presumed that the whole have in one moment fallen victims to this terrible visitation of the Al- mighty. The inland towns and villages of the province, and the more distant sea port towns of Porto Ca- bello, Cumana, Barcelona, & c. have suffered less. SUPPLEMENT TO ST. TlrOMAS'S GAZETTE, AWtiL 9, 1812. Two letters received from English merchants, who escaped from La Guayra, confirm the above account, andeven contain a more gloomy picture of this most melancholy catastrophe. DOWN. FX ACTION, SATURDAY, MAY 30, 1812. DISCOVERY OF THfi AUTHOR OF THE THREAT- ENING LETTER TO THE PRIN8E REGENT. We have heard that the Author of the threaten- ing Letter, for whose discovery a thousand pounds were lately offered in the Gazette, has come for- ward. He turns out to be the person who has so long persecuted the Duke ot Norfolk by claims on the Title. A days since, shortly after the threaiening letter was received at Carlton- house, this Mr. Howard called at Jeffery's, the bookseller, in Pall- mall, and begged of him to stop a letter, addressed to the Pr nee Regent, and which was then in the General Post- Office box, in the win- dow. He was, of coprse, told, that his request could not be complied with. Yesterday it oc- curred to Mr. Jeffery to communicate this circum- stance to Colonel Bloomtkid> atld the discovery i I allowed. DAVID GORDO*, Esq. having opened the Court, at the Hour of Twelve o'clock, and the Writ of Eleflion being read, the Right Hon. ROBERT WARD, of Bangor, was proposed by ACHESON THOMPSON, Esq. and seconded by THOMAS POT- TER, Esq. when ELDRED POTTINGER, Esq. said he wished to say a few words to the Freeholders, and that though he had taken the liberty of offering himself as a Candidate for their representation, it was not with the expectation of being returned, but merely to find out the temper of the aristocracy of the Coun- ty— for him? elf, he had always been a friend to freedom ; and had associated in the year 1790, with the Northern Whig Club, of which the pro- posed candidate Mr. Ward and his brother, were members; and he would venture to say, that more honour, more wisdom, or more propriety of conduct, were not found in any other association of the country. An address had been signed by the Club, of which the Hon. Gentleman and Lord Castle- reagh were members; and also a Test, taken by both, ( for which see the Chronicles of March 25, and April 4.) Mr. Ward had for seven years be- fore, namely,- from 83 to 90, represented the County, and worn the motto of honor and honesty, and was looked up to as an upright representative. Lord Castlereaglj, was. ftai a young man of great promise, of a Presbyterian family, warm in the cause of the people, and an" enemy to corruption; What was he now ? Corruption had then gone far, and was viewed with horror and disgust; what was it now ? When the punishment of those who purchased seats in Parliament, was opposed, by same Ncble Lord, on the ground, that the fafl was as notorious as the Sun at noon day. Here Mr. Pottinger read the Resolutions, which appeared in the Chronicle as above, which were agreed to unanimously, thai is, by the < whole Northern . Whig Club ; he Mr. P. might be willing to propose the same Test to Mr. Ward at present. After adverting to several of the above- men- tioned resolutions, particularly. that of a Reform in Parliament, Mr. Pottinger was interrupted by Mr. Ward, who observed, he would be glad to second the amendment ; but it wasnot a thing to be done instantly. Mr. Pottinger resumed, and sai< 4, he had no doubt of being elected, were the freeholders to be left to their own free ' mill; and was happy to in- form them, that a motion was about to be brought forward in Parliament, by the Marquis of Tavis- tock, a member of the noble house of Russell; a house whose WW had heretofore been shed on the scaffoldin the sacred cause of liberty; amotion which, he hoped, would relieve the freeholder from the dangerous consequences of the present system ; in which case, he would rest secure from the pride of his landlord, the avarice of the tythe- proflor, or the rapacity of the agent, and not be driven in to an eleflion like sheep into a fair.— [ Here there was considerable interruption, and cties of hear, hear.]— Mr. Pottinge. r said, he could mme those who were so driven in, in 1783; and 1790 ; and others of later eleflions, who were persecuted for many years, after giving their vote contrary to their landlord or his agent's wishes. Mr. RuTmhss. in the course of a speech of nearly an how, addressed the Freeholders on a variety of topics connected with the most valuable rights of Ii ishmen. [ We are sorry that want of room prevents us at present from giving this • Gentleman's speech in the fullest manner, which w. e shall, if possible, do in our next, from our Reporter's notes } During his speech, Mr. Ruthven paid their late Representative the deserved compliment of- hav- ing retired from public life, into a place, which was not wrung from the emoluments of their in- dustry, or purchased with the wages of corrup- tion ; he wished them to take seriously into their consideration, that the duties of an Irish or Bri- tish Representative was to speak the sentiments of his constituents, not his own ; that the tyran- nical disposition fatally exerted in the election of Members for the County of Down, had hen felt in a period of twenty- nine years persecution; and which had consequently bowed down the native spirit of Irish Freeholders into that state of apathy, which, from the example of other states, foretold a speedy and certain dissolution. That he would not, nor could not, give his vot- e to Colonel Ward, or any other person, who would not give their entire and unqualified support to thevital questions of Parliamentary Reform and Catholic Emancipation; the latter, though in itself great, yet nothing with- out the former, of which Mr. Ruthven very ably urged, it would form a component part $ nothing but equal rights to all parties, joined to. the un- biassed Eleflion of Representatives, could form the powerful and salutary political medicines, which would renxwe the dropsical and destrufiive consequences of Rotten Borough Influence, and re- store the almost tottering frame of the British Constitution to its pristine beauty and vigour ;— then, and not till then, can wa consider ourselves safe from that Power which has extended its ty- rannical and all- grasping influence over the rest of the States of Europe. Though be would not give his vote to Mr. Ward, he lec'ollefled his brother, the Hon. Edward Ward, in the Irish House 4 » f Commons,' the independent senator and the honest man ; an4 . also., that he had retired from that contaminated sink of corruption and intrigue, pure and uncortupted. That he ( Mr. R.) abhorred the Union as the consequerfce of that corruption, and should still continue to do so, as it reduced his country from t, he honourable state of a kingdom, to part 6f a kingdom, though, from its Geographical situation, few islands were better adapted for existing under tbat name.— He also adverted to the link of connexion be- tween the Whig Club, the United Irishmen, the Country afterwards goaded into rebellion, and as the consequence of all, the Union, in the most powerful and energetic language, and conclud- ed by stating, that he had no wish whatever to disturb the peace of the County; but felt him. self called on to express his sentiments at length to the Freeholders, more particularly, as in the course of his speech, he had the satisfaflion of hearing the disavowal, personally, from the Right Honourable Candidate, of coming into Parlia- aasat as the Lwum Ttnetu of any man j and aLu, Of seeing the disgust which such an allusion cre- ated in several of his friends. When Mr. RUTHVEN had ceased, the Sheriff declared the Right Honourable ROBERT WARD duly eleffed, after which, he addressed them to the following effefl :— GENTLEMEN, I congratulate you on the prospeft of tranquil eleflions—- for nearly 30 years has this county been engaged in contests— it is time for some repose, ElefTions have been unusually protraffed, much to the injury of the morals and habits of the peo- ple— others have gone off in seeming quiet and unanimity ; it has fallen in my way lately, to learn the sentiments of many— I am happy to say, they are favourable to the free use of the eleffive franchise. A person lately coine to the head of an extensive property, has expressed him § elf in such. a- manner, as' to give room toexpefl that new ground may be given, with scope to cultivate the freedom of eleffcion. I have also learned, that that freedonr and seope is likely to be exercised by the eleftors, with sound judgment and true policy, and decidedly favourable to the choosing < of representatives from the strongest stock of well- gro^ nlanded property. Gentlemen, for my part, my views being accomplished, through your as- sistance, and my objeft being now complete, I shall retire into the back ground, holding myself only in readiness to give all assistance in my power to preserve tranquillity fn future. While the return was making out, the High- Sheriff, DAVID GoRbos', Esq. addressed the Court as follows :— Gentlemen— The business of the day being finished, I take the opportunity of adverting to a recent newspaper publication, attributing to me, at the Meeting of last Assizes, a declaration of sentiments, which I disavow, namely, the not holding in due veneration the Elective Franchise and the Constitutional Rights of the People.— Though two months have since elapsed, I have a perfect recollection of the tenor of the few words used by me on that occasion— it was to express my regret at the introduction of Party on the question of addressing Mr. Savage, and my hope and wish for the tranquillity of the County, that no vacancy might occur until the General Election. But as to my having used any argu- ments unfavourable to the general principle and exercise of the Elective Franchise, or intended so to do, or having said any thing other than what was applicable to the then impending vacancy, I - deny the imputation, and may, in confirmation of this statement, appeal to several gentlemen now in this Court who were then present. Gentle- men, I would be unworthy of the honourable station in ( his great County, in which I have this day acted, were I capable of harbouring the opinions imputed to me, but I disclaim them— I have always, considered it as the duty of a good and loyal subjeff, to revere the happy Con- stitution under which we live, in all estates, and more particularly to regard the Ele& ive franchise and the Commons House, as the surest bulwark of our liberties. I have also held it to be the duty of a gentleman to respeft and befriend the people themselves, and the children of the people, to con- tribute towards their instruflion ; to dissuade them from party distin& ionS' and animosities, and to en- deavour to promote their comfort by other good offices.. None of my . opinions have been unfriend- ly to the people ; with respe< S to my actions I am to be silent, my opinons only are impeached. I am to apologize for having thus trespassed on your time ; I might perhaps have safely left tfais misre- presentation to its own fate, trusting that it could not in this enlightened county obtain credit, with reference to any man of common , sense in my situation ; but it has appeared to me more respedt- ful towards the County, to avail myself of the op- portunity which this day has presented, of explain- ing my sentiments. • Mr. RUTHVEN here disavowed having seen the publication in question, or heard of the Meeting until afterwards, but felt himself justified in say- ing, he believed it was held by a liitle private management; that it was concerted and arranged with circumstances of privacy, aad instead of publicity being given, it was contrived to have a contrary effefl, and that it was an underhand at- tempt to praiflice a finesse on Mr. Savage, by his private enemies, for their own purposes, and to impose both upon that Gentleman and the Public. Mr. GORDON here said, he hoped not to be con- sidered or represented, as an enemy to Mr. Sa- vage. Mr. RUTHVEN replied," he did not mean a private'enemy, in using the words, but a political one, which he thought he had a right to do, as Mr. Gordon had for * 20 years ailed at all the Elec- tions as the Agent for that party, which had oppos- ed Mr. Savage's return as representative for the County ; and that ths Meeting which purported to be a meeting of the Gr4! 1< l Jurors, was confined to a small number, at which Mi. Gordon did not aft as Sheriff, and was a trick not creditable to the managers. Mr. GORDON said, he had no management in the trick, consequently the term of trick did not apply to him. Mr. POTTINGRR recollefled, that Mr. William Reilly hac(- said, lhe Sheriff afletf unconstitution- ally, as appeared in the statement alluded to } to which Mr. Potter, of Ardview, not seeming to assent, Mr. Pottinger insisted his memory, on any subjeft, was equal to Mr. Potter's, repeated his assertion, and offered a bet of five guineas on the subjeiS, to be decided by Mr. Reilly, which offer was not accepted by Mr. Potter. The proceedings were conducted with perfect harmony and decorum ; and the Court broke up about two o'clock, in the utmost good order. Gentlemen, Clergi/. and Freeholders, OF THE COUNTY OF DOWN. GENTLEMEN— I thank you all; and to any' who may conceive that I have presumed in offer~ ing my- elf to sit as colleague with a near rel, i^ tion-%- 1 inform them, that the respefhible head of ihat honourable and worthy Member's family had expressed her wish, that none of . her friends should appeal* at the late Eleffion ; and I h. tv reason to think hef wishes were attended to, ^ tr would have been in case of a contest. It might argu& lh want of feeling, not to be thankful to those who refrained from contest, and gave'scope to the independence of Elefiion— I think them sincerely. In the annals of- Eleflions, I believe, it has happened to few individuals to. h^ yt an op- portunity of thanking so. many as I now have : through tfaeip assistance my objeft ufully . attain- edj, and complete. And for this, to the Eleflors who attended, and those who were ready, in case of necessity, I am under many obligations ; and I , beg leave to offer to them my warmest and most cordial thanks. And remain, Gentlemen, With great respefl ani' regard, Your very obedient servant, ROBERT, WARD. Down, May 30,- 1812. From the time of the memorable law of the ma- x'unum in France, under Robespierre, the adoption of that principle has been held utterly incompa- tible, with even national existence. Bonaparte has, however, had the courage to doubt the justice of that conclusion—' having, by his decree of the Sth instant, absolutely limited the price of corn to 33 francs the heSohtre ! The result will shew how far this experiment is founded on true principles Unquestionably, if, after a period when corn has been sold at an extravagant price, there shall prov3 to be a surplus stock remaining th the cauntry, the people, suffer unae^ essarily. PUBLIC MEETING.

I also hope foi the attendance of the Collectors for receiving Subscriptions to purchase provisions for the Poor, when the joint Committees of tlfc Poor- House and House of Industry will receive the reports of their progress, in order to carry that business into effect. THOMAS VERNER, May 28th, 1812. Sovereign of Btlfait. We hope that Mr. and Mrs. MULLENDER'S be. nefit, which is announced for Wednesday next, will be well attended. This lady and gentleman have exerted themselves with their best abilities, to con', tribute to- our amusement, through a long Theatri- cal season, and to this consideration we shouli unite that of private domestic virtue, which outi. weighs' in value, even the perfeftion of professional talent.

V'ce- Admiral Crown, a British subjefl, lias, k is said, been nominated by the Russian Govern-, ment, to the command of the squadron in the White Sea ; and as the Admirals Tate and Greig have been recently appointed to commands in the Russian Navy, it may be reasonably inferred, that a good understanding prevails between this coun- try and Russia. There are published in the United State; Sfi- t newspapers, of which 158 are in the ifiterest of the republican, and 157 in the federalist party ; the others are neuter.

A preacher in a Chapel, at Middietoii, England, the other day, zealous in the cause of Salvation, and wishing, to enforce the do'trine i.- c was pro, mulgating, had asked several times—" What sha'- t we do to be saved ?"

Her song mates wood and grove rejoice: How sweet her wiMly- warbled numbers! s wakened echo hears her voice, Dispelling Nature i leaden slumbers! he buds are bursting on the trees— The vegetable world is teeming With blooms to scent the western breeze, Where Flora's thousand smiles are beaming. The meads assume their graceful hues— On verdant hills the lambs are playing: Midt foliage green the ringdove coos, Where sylphs and sylvan nymphs are straying. " opng love and joy are on the wing; Cold WINTER'S gone to polar regions; i shew the North its stormy king, And claim from icy isles allegiance.

The poor blacks who could read, easterly inquire ! for them, and those who could not, be- gin to learn, that they MIGHT read the BNOK of God. Their intervals of rest, their meal times, their sabbaths, were devoted to this new employ- ment. You might see them in the field, and in the lane, with a spelling- book in their hands; they would solicit little boys coming frnm school to teach them ! thev would frequently beg of me upon the road, that I would stop a few moments, and hear them th ir lesson. It was like a new world to them to be able to read ; they saw things in a different light; a train of new ideas sprang up in their minds; and casting off the slough of ignorance, they beheld themselves in a new and beautiful light. In a little whi'e, many of them understood the word preached, and then the work of reformation began amongst them. Now the cheek- distending oath was laid aside; the polyga- mist left all his wives but the one who had the prior claim : the evening meeting to worship God, called them from the. midnight theft, and the li- bidinous dance: the mulish and slothful became pliant and diligent, the brute became rational, and the monster became a man. They learned seve- ral hymns, and the voice of religious melody sounded from huts and cottages, which had been blackened with infernalism, and polluted with beastliness. Dear Sir, what an incalculable blessing is the Bible Society; ' tis surely the right hand of hea- venly wisdom drawing aside the curtain of dark- ness from benighted man ; ' tis ineffable truth fly- ing upen the wings of aftive benevolence ; or, is it not the day of Pentecost re urned ? The Apost- les speak in new tongues; each man hears them in his own language, declaring the wonderful works of God. It is John the Baptist, the pre- cursor of our Lord's second coming, to prepare his way. Blessed be the men that first devised and brought to perfeflion, the god- like plan ; let them be blessed with the blessings of the heaven above, and of the depths beneath, even to the ut- termost bounds of the everlasting hills; and my- riads, in every language, shall say, Amen ! The rays of divine truth have pierced the birch- bark wigwam of the Indian, the log- hut of the wood- man, and the palmetto cottage of the poor negro.

BEWEVOLUS. Extract of a Letter from Mr. JOSHUA MARSDKN, Mis- sionary in Bermuda, to Mr. Bet. SON. Hamilton, Bermuda, Sept. 24. 1311. EAR SIR— The Bibles you sent to Bermuda, at the rising sun Upon a daik and benighted TRIAL OF THE NOTED BOULGER, FOR BURSLARY AND ROBBERT. COUNTY DUBLIN QUARTER- SESSIONS. On the 20' H inst. Mr. Serjeant Moore, with se- vetal Magistrates, sat at the Court- House, Kil- tminham, for the trial of Piisoners and Traverser, when Thomas Boulger was arraigned on two sepa- rate indiflments for robbery. The first for rob- bing the house of Mrs. O'Neil, of Chapelizod, on the 6th of April; the secon 1 for robbing the house of a Mr. Westray, on the 29th of J^ PRIL, to both of which he pleaded not guilty. Mr. Greene, as Counsel for the Crown, said, he should not state the case, but leave the Jury un- biassed judges of the evidence. He oroceeded to call the first witness. Elizabeth Cotley, examined by Mr. Greene,— She stated, that she lived servant with Mrs. Eliza- beth O'Neil, at a place called the Garden of Eden, at Chapelizod ; that on the night of the 6 h, or the morning of the 7th of April last, she was alarmed from her sleep, by robbers breaking into the house. She slept in a room, over a passage leading to the kitchen J that the robbers broke through a window in the passage under her room. Witness's sister came into her room, and alarmed her, and pening'a window in the room, called out, for the love of God, Gentlemen, what are you about; they answered her, by bidding her go to bed. She saw three men, two of whom were armed with a case of pistols each. Saw one of them come up to the door of her room, with a lighted candle in his hand, he look her by the hand, and desired her not to be afraid. She ob- serred he wanted the four fingeis on his left hand. He desired her to get him some candles. She ob- served a mark of a cut on his cheek. He made her go up to her mistress's room for some candles, e went with her, he knocked at the door, and her mistress's niece, who was inside, told her where there was a candle on the stairs; they went down to the kitchen to light it, the other having gone out, or he having dropped it, it being a small bit. Met two men more, who went up to her mistress's room, and threatened if they did not open the door, they would blow their brains out. The la- dies inside then opened the door ; they went to each side of the bed and swore they would blow their brains out, if they did not give up their mo- ney and watches; they got with them, a plated salver, silver tea- pot, ewer, 12 silver spoons, and a cotton gown. They were there from about one o'clock until three. Q. Pray would you know any of the party ? I would. Q. Look round the Court, and see, if you see any of them. That is the man ( laying the Sheriff's wand on the Prisoner at the Bar), he is the man that want- ed the fingers, and had the mark on his cheek. The Prisoner stated, that he had got these wounds IN a British man of war, in the attack on Flushing. Cross exarrvned by Mr. Bethel. Q. I perceived you were much agitated on your first coming on the table, were you ever in a Court of Justice before as a Witness ? No, Sir. Q. Then you are considerably agitated ? A lit- tle, Sir. Q. Was there anyiman in the house with you, on the night of the robbery ? No, Sir. Q. Then when you felt so much agitated, in giving your evidence to day, you mus'. be in a dreadful state of agitation on the night of the robbery, awoke out of your sleep, and finding yourself surrounded by robbers, were you not dreadfully alarmed ? Yes, Sir. Q. Then might you not mistake one man for another ? No, Sir. Q. Did you never take one individual for an- other ? Never, Sir. Q. Now might not another man want his fin- gers, and have a mark on his cheek ? I dont « know. Q. Did you see the robber since until to- day ? Onlv at the police office. Mr. Serjeant Moore. Did you describe his person to anv person before you saw him in the police office ? I did the next morning, to the Rev. Mr. Connor. The Rev. George Connor sworn, proved that the last witness told him next morning, that one of the robhers was a likely voune man, about six feet high, had a mark on his cheek, and wanted four fingers on his left hand. Mr. John Smith, the Magistrate, proved, she had given the same description when befr. re him, a few davs after the robbery. Mr. Bethel contended for the prisoner, that one man might be taken for another; to which both these Gentlemt n admitted, that such a thing might be, but was not very probable. Mrs. ELIZ.' O'Neil was examined by Mr. SW: ft, to prove some of the articles taken out of the House; on the cotton gown beine produced, it being a common pattern, Mr. Bethel asked the witness how could she swear to ir, might N" T there be five hundred gowns of a similar pattern ? Mrs. O'Neil then swore to a trmming, which, she said, had been in her drawers for upwards of twelve years before it was put on the gown. She stated, she was in great alarm on the niifht of the robbery, and ever since; that she might be mistaken in a person, although she never remem- bered to have taken one person for snother. Alexander Cunningham, examined by Mr. Greene.— Stated that he was a Peace Officer ; that in consequence of some information, he went, ac- companied by James Miller and William Hender- son, two other Peace Officers, between the hours of seven and eight o'clock in the morning of the 4th of May, to the House, No. 20, Thomas- court ; th. it they went up stairs to the two- pair lobby, on which a man was standing outside the door ; that he and Henderson passed him, but Miller, who got better and later information from a woman in the street ; said this is the man ; they went and bid hold of the prisoner at the bar, who immediately drew a pistol from his breast ; witness seized his hand, and with some struggle was taking it from him, when Henderson struck him with a loaded whip ; he let go the. pistol, and wrenched the whip from Henderson, whom he cut desperately over the head ; taey at last secured and handcuffed him, while one of rhem went to the watch house for more assistance. The Prisoner sat down on the bed, he would not sit on a chair, and before the assistance came, he ohserved him wrenching the handcuffs off. and endeavoured to get at some- thing under him ; witness told him not to do so, and prevented him ; when the place where he sat was searched, a very large blunderbuss was found, loaded with eleven slugs, and to which he wanted to get; the pistol was loaded with a ball and some slugs. William Henderson gave the same testimony, and produced a variety of articles on THE table, as being found in prisoner's room, viz. blankets, womens' shoes, pelisses, and a variety of wearing apparel, some of which were the property, with the blunderbuss - and pistol, of Mr. Westray, the prosecutor, in the other indictment ; the witness proved the GOWN shewn to him by Mrs. O'Neil, as also found in his room, and a large quantity of powder, balls, shot, and slugs, as being got under the bed. James Miller, the other Peace- Officer's testi- mony, went to the same effect. The case on the part of the Crown being closed, Mr. Be; hel entered on the prisoner's defence, which was a complete alibi; to prove which, he called a woman of the name of Bridget Maguire, who swore, that on the night of the 6th of April, she had been sent for by an acquaintance, to stay up with a sick child ; that about eight o'clock, the prisoner came in to her friend's, ALLV Flana- gan's room, who was his wash- woman ; that Mrs. Flanagan asked him to stay, and that he did Until nine in the morning, and that he remained all night and never left it. On her cross- examination by Mr. Swift, she did not vary in her testimony ; she said, the rea- son she knew the 6th of April so well was, that Mrs. Flanagan asked her what day of the month it was, and she said, the Wednesday before was the first of April, for some person pinned a piece of paper to her back to make a fool of her ; she said, it bring the Monday after, it was conse- quently the 6th ; she also remarked her child was six months old, as it was born on the 6th Au- gust ; she acknowledged she had seen the prisoner several times since. This witness stood a very long cross- exami- nation, as well from the Learned Judge, as from the Counsel, and her evidence did not vary throughout. Alice Flanagan corroborated THE last witness's testimony; she said the reason she wanted to know the day of the month was, that she had been writing a letter to her brothers, five of whom were fighting in Portugal ; that in her distress she had pawned the shirts of the prisoner, and she asked him to stay tip all night with them, being ashamed of his knowing they were pawned, and she thought to have released them in the morn- ing— that her husband and her children were in the room ; on being asked why her husband was not in attendance to give evidence, she stat- ed he was gone to the country to get some pota- toes ; she had visited the prisoner every day in gaol ( she did so in gratitude to him for the kind attention he had paid herself and children, in go- ing to Liverpool in the packet last summer. She underwent a long and strict examination with very little variation : one part of her state- ment was contradicted by Major Wells upon oath — she had stated that on the Tuesday before, when the prisoner had been brought to the Court, she had not spoke to him, but only nodded to him. The Major swore, that on that day they were in close conversation from the Court House to the gaol, so much so, that he had ordered the corporal of the guard to endeavour to hear what amination of his books, the pledging of some shirts bf the last witness, but dates and sums went rather to invalidate than corroborate the tesrimonv of Mrs. Flanagan. Elizabeth Corley, the first witness was called at the request of the Juror, and was asked whe- ther if the robber had not a mark on his cheek and wanted the fingers, would she have known him ? She answered she would. The question was solemnly put to her by the Court, was the prisoner the man ? She swore he was the man. Mr. Bethel then addressed the Court, and beg- ged to be allowed to ask tiis own witness the same questions ; he said he lamented being de- prived in his defence of the assistance and abili- ties of the two legal gentlemen who were sitting bv him ( Counsellors Ball and Mac Nal'iy) ; but although they were not with him, yet he had b- en much obliged by some suggestions which they had kindly furnished him with ; he again la- mented his being alone, and consequently so of- ten obliged to trouble the Court; but he trusted, if he got as positive and unequivocal answers from his two witnesses, whose characters and evidence were unimpeached, it would have a weight on the minds of the Jury in favour of his client, two to one. Both Mr. Mac Nally and Mr. Ball declared that they could not have given any further assist- ance, more than what the very able defenceand luminous examination of Mr. Bethel had elicited. Alice Flanagan and Bridget Maguire were again called, and then swore in the most solemn and positive manner to the prisoner's being in their company on the night of the robbery, and never quitted the room until nine in the morning. Mr. Serjeant Moore then charged the Jury at great length ; he began by saving, that in the whole course of his legal knowledge, he had never witnessed a trial where the prisoner had the bene- fit of such cool, deliberate, and impartial inquiry, where he received the length of time taken both in the cross- examination of all the witnesses, and by the delay occurred by sending for the Pawn- broker— with the strift attention paid by the Jury, he must say, it was the fairest trial he ever saw conduced ; he must compliment the Jury, the Bench of Magistrates, and the Learr. L- d Counsel, for their unwearried attention, and he should take some praise to himself also ; as to the Counsel for the prisoner, Mr. Bethel, he need not have wished for any assistance, as his assiduity and attention to the interest of his client, was urged with an ability and caution that could not be surpassed ; from the length of time which occurred from the beginning of the trial, he should think it his duty to recapitulate the evidence, which he should read from his notes, being most likely fuller than theirs, however, should he have omitted any pirt which some of the Jury might have, they would add it His Lordship then detailed the evidence in full, commenting on each circumstance as he went along; he particularly temarked on the transac- tion of the taking of the prisoner, the fire arms; and the finding of the stolen goods in his room. The Jury retired but a short time, when they brought in their verdift— Guilty— Death. Notice to Distillers and other Dealers in Spirits.

On the night of Sun ay the 10th inst. twenty- four hours before the fatal deed was perpetrated, a report was brought, it is not yec known from what quarter, to Biidckirk. a village about two miles from Ann* n, that .

The Clergyman to whom we have alluded, and who allows us to m tke use of his name, is Mr. Yorstoun, Minister of Hjddom. This Gentleman, with a laudable zeal, went to the spot, and carefully investigated the rumour,, with the view of tracing it to its source, but has not liitherto been successful, although he has ob- tained the most satisfactory proof of its having existed at the time we have mentioned— Dumfriei and Galway Courier. UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO TAKEALUDDITF. — On Tuesday se'nnight, person suspected to be- long to this fraternity, was pursued by the peace- officers near Staley- bt idge. Being a collier, he- naturally retreated'to his underground hiding-' place, sliding for that purpose down the rope, hanging in the shaft of the pit. A guard of up- wards of 40 of the patrole, were mounted at the mouth of the pit, which was kept up by necessary changes till the following Friday, determined to starve the besieged to surrender, or confine him till death, On the night of Friday, however, a detachment of Gen. Ludd's army, consisting of more than 40 men, appeared, drove the besiegers from their post, gave a whistle, when the besieged, ascended the rope, and escaped to his deliverer^ A short time since, a shepherd, named Knigh- ton, at Woodhurst, Hants, was. found smothered under part of a hay- stack, which a sudden gust ' if wind had blown over him while sitting under it. A wealthy Jew, named Pinedo, who died lately at Amsterdam, made some singular and unprece- dented bequests. He left to each of the Christian churches in Amsterdam and at the Hague, 10,000 florins; to each of the orphan houses of those cities, the same sum ; a » d to each of his Christian neighbours who assisted at his funeral, 100 Dutch ducats; and to each Jew, 200 ditto. Last week, at Yarmouth, W. Hammond ( of Yarmouth), wherry- man, and his wife, playfully throwing potatoes at each other, one of ther. i hit heron the head, when > he, without anyrvil inten, tion, threw at him a clasp- knife, V: •-. ifoitu- nately penetrated through his libs it. .', heart, and caused almost immediate death.
