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 con centrated.—These letters state that Santa was re taken 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 con sequence of all the post-horses having been engaged for the Duke of Angouleme on his tour, her Ma jesty 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 acknow ledged he exploded the first petard. The Minis terial papers insinuate that some distinguished Libe rals 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 com mitted 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. THE NATIONAL REGISTER.,_ Advice, have been received from the Isle of France, of the 12th of February. Their contents are satisfactory, inasmuch as they state that the fever, which had committed such dreadful ravages in that colony, had entirely digappeured • not only on the coast, but. also in the interior. The accounts vary as to the number of persons who have been carried off by the malady, but it seems certaiu that between 5 and 6000 persons have suffered, a con siderable portion of whom consisted of Europeans. The fever had been introduced into the colony by a merchantman, from the island of Ceylon, and was of so virulent a character that the individual died two days after being attacked by it. A letter from New York of the 14th alt. says— " The Senate have passed, by an unanimous vote, the Bill to prohibit all intercourse with all British ports in Canada, Nova Scotia, and the West Indies; the Bill must pass the House of Representatives to become a law." Tur Cottons-mtg.—The Lord Chamberlain hav ing received an order from the Privy Council for the solemn proclamation of the intended ceremonial of his Majesty's Coronation; the different Officers of the Herald's College, and the Lord Chamber lain's department, assembled at St. James's Palace, at ten o'clock yesterday morning, in their official cos tume. From thence they set out in procession to Westminster Hall, and there proclamation was first made, and afterwards it was proclaimed through the metropolis, with the same ceremonies as those observed when his Majesty was proclaimed King. We understand a Committee has been appointed at Westminster Abbey, for the purpose of arranging the business relative to the intended coronation, and installation of the Order of the Bath. Among the latest pensions granted by the Crown, and payable out of the 41 per cent. duties, are the following :—Lord Keith, Sir John Leach, and Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, in trust for Sophia, Mary, Elisabeth, Augusta, and Amelia Fitsclarence, 25001. per annum. The warrant is dated Sept. 9, 1818.

His Mainly's Levee.—At the Levee held by his Majesty on Wednesday, there was the extraordinary number of 1791 persons present, being upwards of 300 more than has been known on any similar oc casion within the memory of man. Mr. Robert Baker, Chief Magistrate of the Po lice, received the honour of Knighthood on Wed nesday last, at the Levee. One of the yeomen-porters to his Majesty, after officiating in that capacity at the Palace gate during the Levee on Wednesday, returned to his own house, where he had scarcely arrived when he seated himself in a chair, and expired without ut tering a word. He had exnibited no previous symp toms of indisposition, and was considered a man of a robust constitution. Mr. Wedgebury, one of his Majesty's Pages, and formerly Page to the Princess Charlotte of Wales, died on Wednesday evening, at his residence in Chelsea. The Caledonian canal now carrying on for avoiding the tedious and dangerous navigation round the northern and western coasts of Scotland ix truly gigantic : when completed, frigates of 22 guns will be able to navigate it ; the depth is to be 20 feet, the width at the bottom 50, and at the surface of the water 110 feet, and the sluices from 162 to 172 feet in length. The Annual Merino Meeting for the exhibition of Anglo Merino Sheep, Fleeces, Cloth, Yarn, &c took place on Wednesday at Sadler's Repository, Goswell Street. The Stock was of excellent quality —the fleeces of the finest texture—and the cloth and yarn beautiful ; the whole of British produce. There were several useful implements exhibited, and all of hand or manual power, a circumstance we rejoice to see, as the rage for machinery has of late caused a great increase to pauperism and oppres sive Poor Rates. The yard was well attended ; we noticed several Noblemen, Members of Parliament, and many practical breeders and farmers. Lord Castlereagh sent three Ewe Teats for one of the premiums. We understood that Mr. P'ane's (the Member fur 11 - 1. 'Aire) stock, was much admired, as also .

EIIireAORDINARY Casa..--On Friday two hackney coachmen were brought up, charged on suspicion of stealing a watch limn the person of Perry William Hughes. servant to the French Ambassador. Mr. Andrews, for the prosecution, said, this case came before the Magiitrate under very singular circumstances: —A young man, named Taylor, was prosecuted for this very robbery at the last Old Bailey Sessions, convicted, and instantly sentenced to transportation for life by the Common Sergeant. Three gentlemen. wined Jeremy, Harper, and Smith, gave testimony extremely favourable to the prisoner at the trial, but the evidence was but. slightly attended to. Three coachmen. named Judd, Randall, and Auger, who gave testimony w a similar effect, were committed to Newgate by the Common Ser geant, and were still in confinement. The gentlemen he had named, however, front what they themselves saw, and from what came out upon the trial, were firmly convinced that Taylor was an innocent man, and had, at their own expense, employed Counsel, and ea cacti themselves to bring the real offenders to justice,. and to save Taylor from so dreadful a punishment. It was what these gentlemen learned, in the course of their inquiries, that led to the appreheusion of the prisoners at the bar. It appeared that Messrs. Thomas Jeremy. Thomas - Hagar, and John Smith, were on their nocturnal ram bles on the night in question, and they each deposed, that they were passing-the Margins of Granby, iu Charles-street (at the deer of winch the robbery was said to be rd), just at the moment that the pro secutor was calling for the watchmen and imitating a man, and they went into the public-house, where they distinctly saw Taylor sitting in a box in the tap-room. inside of eight or nine others, and it was utterly impos sible that he could have gained that position in the time.. tf he had beets hi the street when the watch was stolen. Cole. a hackney coachman, swore, that Use pro- • secutor Hughes mounted his coach-box. in a state of intoxication, on the night in question, at the door of Drury Lane Theatre, and drove himself to the duos of the Marquis of Granby, where he treated several persons • with ruin and pipes of tobacco. Witness was at his coach when the cry of " Watch" was raised, and in a . minute after he saw the prosecutor and one of the pri soners struggling together under one of the coaches.'llte other was also of the smoking party,. but Taylor cer tainly was not. Mrs. Wecalini, the landlady of the Marquis Granter, . and her waiter, swore most positively that Taylor was in the tap-room when the alarm in the street was given, and that he was never out of it the whole tune. The two prisoners were smoking with the prosecutor in the passage a initiate before the robbery, and the latter was completely drank. Hughes underwent a long.iuterrogation by Mr. Bit- - nie, and he admitted that he was drunk, but not so .much seas to lose his recollection. He did not escollect mounting Cole's coach at Drury-Line; he knew he. came on a coach fiatitt. the City. lie was quite sure he did not call for pipes and tobacco. He was certain into Tayloe. Mr. Andrews said, he did not mean to impute wilful misconduct to the prosecutor, but it was quite clear, from all that .had been. heard, that he was in such a state at the time lie was robbed, as to be utterly incapa ble of giving a clear. account of the transaction. and his • inebriety had been the cause of the conviction of an . innocent man, who was now under a sentence the se. veresi, short of death, that the law could inflict. The, men who had been co ed to.Newgate for the evi dence they gave on the trial would be here on a future day, and fully hear him and the other witnesses out iu all they had stated. Mr. Adolphus, in a few remarks on, behalf of• the prisoner Stevens, agreed with Mr. Andrews in regretting the absence of the three men alluded to, and strongly deprecated their committal. After an investigation of several hours, the prisoners were remanded till Tuesday next, wheu the three wits. • nesses will be futthcoutiog, and the case further pro— ceeded in. The Office was crowded to excess, and it is but tight we should add, that in spite of their being in such a house at such a time, the three above-iiaival gentlemen are all very respectable, and that two out.of the three are "-item in the immediate nei•anbourlsocel. . Exportation of Machinery.—ln consequence of. the repeated exportation of machinery to the Con tinent, and the necessary injury to our manufac turing interests, the manufacturers of Nottingham have of late been much on the alert to detect the persons by whom those mischiefs are effected. In formation having been received that a man known by the name of Derbyshire, who stands foremost in the list of mechanists in this country, was about to sail for France with some valuable machinery used in the manufacture of lace, steps were taken to arrest him at Dover, and on Wednesday night Ruthven set off to that town, in company with one of the constables of Nottingham. They found their man, and secured him. He had with him some of the necessary implements of his trade, and con fessed that the rest were to follow. He was. accom panied by his wife and child, and was going to set tle in France. His real mune, he.says, is Holding, and in that name he obtained. his passport. He ' was brought to town on Friday night, and set off for Nottingham on Saturday, in the care of Ru thven. Lord Castlereagh, on Friday, was sufficiently well to have a large party to dinner, at his houec ia. St. James's Square. - • ~~ .
