The Belmont, Capt. Knubley, from Liverpool, arrived on Sunday.

The Berbice Mail-Boat arrived this morning from Barbados, and brought Papers to the 5th instant; the following, however, is the only extract of their contents, we have been induced to make: -
"A vessel from Cadiz has lately arrived at Angustura in a very short passage, with information of there having been a sanguinary engagement in the neighbourhood of Madrid, in which the British had been eminently victorious over the French, and had taken Soult and the other Generals prisoners. It is further stated, that Joseph Bonaparte's division was employed in this affair; and that, at an early period of the battle, this would be King, as had been the case on former occasions, fled at the prospect of danger. The allies are said to have been ably assisted by British reinforcement from Gibraltar, probably under the command of General Cook. A Spanish schooner gave the above account at Tobago, at which island she had arrived from Angustura."
We can only hope the above is true.

It is stated, that that portion of the London fleet which was destined for Berbice, is arrived in that river.

A vessel is arrived from the Oronoque, with Mules and Horses.

Of the late contest between the Ramoncita and the Hornet, the following are our promised additional particulars: - The sloop, it appears, mounted twenty-two long twenty-fours and eighteens, and had a complement of two hundred and fifty men; but the ship had only eighteen short twelves and nines and the complement of fifty, including passengers and boys! - The great disparity, therefore, of force, renders the result much more honourable to the British flag, and certainly implies a superior panegyric than it is in our power to bestow, on the brave and skilful defenders of the Ramoncita. In fact, we have been assured, that the ultimate safety of the ship and cargo, is chiefly attributable, to the Captain's determined resolution and example, in so promptly commencing an engagement with so overwhelming a force; and to the animated encouragement he gave his people, to continue the contest for so many hours. Not that it appears encouragement was wanting - for the hostile proposal of their commander, was heartily agreed to; but it is well-known, that on such occasions, the eye of a crew casts upon its leader, a glance of the most scrutinizing anxiety - and the answer of his, is, as it were, an electric shock! - Twice, by the superior skill in manoeuvring [sic] of Capt. Venables, was the Hornet racked fore and aft, within pistol shot! - On the colours of the Ramoncita being shot away, early in the action, one of the boys, with a degree of heroic alacrity, lashed them to the mizen-top-mast shroud, almost before the orders were given. - Captain Playter of the Demerary Militia, passenger from England, we understand, placed himself at the head of those who exercised the functions of Marines; and, it is stated greatly distinguished himself. - Finding himself annoyed by the enemy in the tops, the skilful Venables, we find, charged one of his guns with musket-ball, elevated it to a sufficient heighth, and cleared them completely. - The Ramoncita's ammunition was nearly expended. The carnage on board the Hornet, must have been dreadful. - They fell in with each other again the next day, but the Enemy evinced no desire of a second defeat. - These then, are the particulars we promised, and we give them with pleasure.

Departed this life, at Plantation Tranquillity, Mahaica, on the 7th instant - Samuel Challener, Esqr. aged 48 years - a gentleman much regretted for his many excellent and benevolent qualities.
 

BRITISH INTELLIGENCE.
 

LONDON.

[Transcriber's note: I would not usually transcribe the following, but I believe it serves to give a good impression of the varied uses of the newspaper press.]

November 2. - The important intelligence contained in the Paris papers to the 29th last, continues to engross the public attention. Two constructions, totally distinct and different, are put upon the account of the conspiracy at Paris. Of the three Ex-Generals who were the leaders of it, Laborie is the zealous friend of Moreau, and they are all known to be staunch Republicans, and from principle as well as discontent, at being neglected by Bonaparte, personally hostile to him. The instruments which they employed were the National Guards, a fact in itself pretty strongly evincing the regular organization of the plot, and the first explosion if it was the simultaneous attack on the heads of the three several departments of the Minister of Police, the Prefect of Paris, and the Military Commandant which constitute the Government of that capital. A report of the death of Bonaparte was at once the foundation of this conspiracy, and its recommendation to the people of France, among whom, according to private accounts, it was spread far beyond the limits of the capital, throughout many departments of the empire; and it was by an exposure of the fallacy of this report, and a positive assurance that Bonaparte was still alive, we are told, Savary (the Duke of Rovigo), who is at the head of the Police of Paris, added to the seizure of the ringleaders, that tranquillity was restored in Paris. In every point of this detail we have evidence of a regularly organized conspiracy against the Government of Bonaparte, and an effort to effect a counter-revolution. The motive is sufficiently explained by the character of the principals, the discontent that must be naturally excited by new demands to support the Russian war, the reverses of the French armies in the Peninsula, and the absence of that eclat and glory in the North which had attended Bonaparte in all his previous campaigns. Viewing then the present plot as an actual conspiracy to overturn the Government, we may foresee the result of his death whenever that event shall take place. There can be little doubt but the empire of Bonaparte, which like that of Alexander, has been created by his genius, will be broken to pieces by his fall. There are others, however, who contend that this was not an actual conspiracy, but a sort of Paddy M'Kew plot, a mere stratagem practised by Government for the purposes of state. In support of this opinion they contend that the appearance of the affair in the Moniteur is an argument against its existence, for if there were really any kindling sparks of commotion in Paris, no mention would have been made of them in the official Journal; and the three Ex-Generals may be men whom Bonaparte meant to sacrifice; that it is a proof to us of their having few followers, that the Minister of Police thus arrests hem publicly: that the present race of Frenchmen are identified with the new order of things; that it is not likely any attempt of a counter-revolution would be supported by the people; and, therefore, that it is a mere machination of Bonaparte, to afford him a plausible pretence to return home. This mode of reasoning appear to us specious and plausible, but not solid and convincing. If it were generally known, why should it not appear in the Moniteur?
