An obliging friend has favored, the Edit ors of the New York Commercial Ad vertiser, with the following extract of a letter from Trinidad, Port of Spain, dated May 2, 1819. . , 41 We are never without political news of our unfortunate revolutiona ry neighbors, & my spntiments are so congenial with those of that par ty, who are struggling for indepen dence, freedom, and good laws, that I feel a sincere & ardent interest for their success. Inspired with the crod-likx.- principles of the immortal god - likx. - principle father of United America the pure milk of which was .instilled m my mind, by tlie famed institutions of his happy country, I cannot but sym pathise in the noble cause of a peo ple, who have been enslaved for three centuries a people, who have wallowed in the mire of tyranny and superstition. When I contemplate the unhappy fate of the unfortunate independents of the south, it chills the very cur rent of my blood. Their' struggles have been long, constant and almost iatal. Their wars have Been the w.rs of cannibals. The character of the chiefs of the royal powr who acted their brutal parts upon the theatre of the south, are of the most gloomy complexion, The misery suffered by the poor emigrants in this colony is unimaginable. How ever, things go oh most gloricusly with the independents ; at . present. The generous, aid of the English has given this party a national character. This campaign, I think, will deter mine the fate of the' royalists. De feat and disgrace begin already" to attend heir impious arms, I had the pleasure of being intro duced to Mr. W. Irvine, the Amen can Agent to Angostura who, on his way home passed 'some time with us, and obtained a considerable fund of knowledge, respecting the his tory of this Island. He was very well received, and much attention paid to! him, not by government, (for you must know our government detest the Yankees, as they stile all the people qf the United States,) but by the liberal men; who are not engaged in government affairs, on account of their distinguished liber ality. He will u ndoubtedly trans mit & the Preside at a very favorable account ! of the newly established government of Venezuela. He re sided there about eight months, and is a great observer of men and things, t There have been several skirm ishes between the vanguards of the two armies, who are at present near San Fernando, on the Anure. The Apure is a branch of Oronoco. The armies are reported to be. equal in number,! about 6000 stroug. The independents have about 2500 English and German troops with them under very able officers. They are all well clothed and in high spirits The greatest disci pline arid oider reitrn anions: the troops. Gen. Paez's cavalry is 2500 stronrr. and extremely well discinlin- ed. , Hef is a fine officer, and be well stiled the Leon of the Pa?.' triots. . We daily expect to see in formation from that quarter. The Congress is at present in session in Angostura. The Governor is well established, and some very able men are at the head of departments. Guiria, Mathurin, and Cumanaco, are in possession of the independents.-:' f '. Margaritta is still faithful, free, and independent. , An expedition is planning against Cumana. The fall of Cumana will put Barcelona and the whole sea coast, as far as Laguria, in posses sion of the Patriots. Their success is eertain. ' The Royal cause cannot be sus tained but a few months longer." NORFOLK, JULY 21, Our intelligence from Gibraltar, per the Shepherdess, arrived it New Haven, iis to the 28th of April : The King off Spain, sometime in that month, tailed his conncil together to advise, with them on the subject of his revolted colonies, and desired them all to express their sentiments without iany reserve ; accordingly, 22 of che. members recommend-d a compromise with the revolutionists wich so exasperated the King, that, notwithstanding he had urged them to give their opinions freely, he immediately dismissed them from his service ! A majority of the Council Were in favor of prosecut ing the war. r Two captains in the Spanish Na vy, Brigadiers of Marine, have been broke for refusing to take command of two 74?s destined for Lima and the Kinglsays all shall be broke who refuse, iti this critical state of his kingdom; to perform their clq.ty. Since the arrival otthe last trigate from Vera Cruz; with money (tho it was all private' property) the expe dition at Cadiz has made some pro gress. About 40 English transports have arrived from England to take troops, (under private, contract) wnicn witn tne ussiau3, uau, Swedes, land Er-er.ch, before em. ploved,ijwill make the armada a con federacy of all the Holy Allies - This does not look much like neu tralitythough it was whispered that the Ene ish had ordered tneir cruizers to capture all vessels under their flag having troops &c. jon board to be employed against the Patriots. The San Tel mo. Fernando, 3nd Alexander 1st, (74's) and Diana fri gate (44) j were expected to sail from Ladiz to Lima on or about the 6th of May, but would carry no troops we shall notf be surprised to hear ver his mansion the interior is fur that the cause of this was because nished neatly-and with some orna the troops would not go. . ment the parlor is covered with a It is stated that the Kingcontinu- carpet ingeniously made and wtive ed tor grant exclusive, licences to by the wife and daughters, a book- trade, as a mean3 of raising money to import the produce of his col- onies into tne kingdom in foreign bottoms on paying the same duties as are paid in national vessels to import flour into Havanna in foreign bottoms upon paying half the pre- sent duty ; which, with enormous forced loans whenever money ar- rives from the Indies, and 2 lotteries per month, constitute almost the whole system of finance from which drawing rooms and crowded par the resources of the empire are de- ties .

We further learn that Mr. Wm. D. Robinion, wko was formally de manded by the jdovenor of Cadiz, still enjoyiedis refuge at Gibraltar, as Goverhor Don had manifested no disposition to authorise his being arrested in conformity to this extra ordinary mandate. CLAIMS OF PORTUGAL, A notice has been issued in Por tugal by the Board of Commerce, from which it anoears that the Por- J tuguese Government is preparing to claim of the United $tate the a- mount of the losses sustained by their merchntsidconsequence of the captures by privateers under the Artigas flag.

For this purpose, the persons inter ested in those losses are required to exhibit the abovementioned docu ments, within thirty days jafter the date of the present notice, that they may be submitted to his Majesty for his Royal determination.

(Signed), jfose Ahursio das Ntvis. Lisbon, 28th April, 1819. 7 DOMESTIC ECONOMY. From the N. York National Advocate. I had occasion, the other day, to purchase some trifles in a store in Broadway, which were shown me by a clerk, a young man fashionably dressed with a dandy coat, and neck cloth, in the usual ridiculous manner. Lookiug steadfastly .at him, I thought I recognized his counte n an t e. Is your name Greenwood ? said I that is my name, at your ser vice, said the young man, closing the till with a fashionable slam and vawning in a languishing manner. Of Orange countyj? Yes, of old Orange, said he ; I. was tired of ru ral felicity and dairy maids and stone barns, and thought I'd f try my for tune at the capital ; where genius and elegance always are patronized Well, sir,' is your change of resi dence profitable and useful ? Why, sir, it's pleasant. -I see'a great dal of good company tn the shop ; have some leisure, to dress, promenade and learn French ; I get a small sal ary 'tis true, but I may . pick up a fortune in the way of marriage ; luck, you know comes unexpected, but u sometimes comes, and that's enough. I left the puppy. His fa ther, old Oliver Greenwood, is an honest oractical farmer in Orange county ; his house is substantial, but old fashioned, surrounded with a white paled fence and a neat flower garden ia.the rear an old oa, with its thick foilage and cumbrous branches, casts a venerable shade o- case with a choice collection, ct and a few pictures of grea a spin-; ell and scripture subjects, constituting all that was for exhibition or for use. When I was some years younger I was in the habit of" taking my gun and paying a visit to old Greenwood for a few days. Many a hearty meal hava I taken in his hospitable mansion. s I Talk nfrnmfftrt ; Ljvj morning s ramble over the well i ulti vated fields, andf brushing off the spangled dew from the rich and per fumed clover, we returned to ihe house, warned by the shrill ech of the breakfast horn ; our sinews brac ed with exercise and our appetites rendered keen by the swelling breze. Nq unmeaning ceremony of tedious compliments worried the hungry or. stranger ; the wife was neut and cheerful ; the girls plainly dressed, with rosy crueeks Sc sp u kling eyep . thev had no papers in their rich brown hair, with pips crossed in curies -no languid drawl or vacant stare or slipshod shoes or greasy morning gown- they were brisk as bees, lively as Euphrosyne, indus trious as I.ucretia-- .nd thtir morn ing dresses might vie with mountain snow for vvithencss. And then the breakfast : no vapid tea or cold toast and grea-.y butter and i hipped meat a clear cup ol coffee and cream, Jmtter, fresh and hard, from the dai ry, smoked shad, boiled eggs and sweei brovvn bread. This was near ly all the produce of the f trm ; con sequently, comfort was united with economy. It was at this period that I remembered seeing th? voui.g man from whom I had j ust parted in Broadway. He was then dressed as a plain and respectable farmer, and was occupied in virions duties about the premises, and bidding fair to become a ustful citizen : the fol ly and indulgence of the father y iel ded to his caprices, and he sent him to New-Yort-to try his. fortune, like Yorkshire boobies who go up to London for 4 he same purpoae. -There is ho error so pernicious in its effects as that of stnding young men, fresh from the country, pure in pricipleSand inexperirnced, 10 reside in a populous ciiy, and be come familiar wi h its pleasure s, its vices, and extravgancies W h t in ducement can an h nest farmer hae, in thus banishing his children from, independence, industry and comfort. There is, certainly, no occupation more honorable, more useful, more valuable to a countiy, than that of agriculture ; the farmer is the de-. fender of the soil which he tills- labour nen-es his arm, and patriot ism warms ms heart, he is most to be depended upon, because his pur suits are more steady, and more generally prosperous. Of all the? characters of which our country boasts, there is none superior to a well informed and sensible farnter ; not alone a practical man, but ;one who has read, who knows the world, his country, and its Taws, What sight is more gratifying, than that of a young man of information and good qualities,. between the handle of a plough ? tFollow him to his well stocked barn, and seel ,hiia gracefully and manfully ply the flail culling the rich treaaur oi Ceres j aud, when exercise demands a tran sient rest, see him seated on his, sheaves of straw, and hear him talk of Greece and Rome ; narrate his toric facts j! dwell on the history of his country, its wars, government and institutions. Why, such a man is above ail 'price he U useful to himself, and beneficial to his coun try. Pursue this train of thought, and trace him to the hall cf the le gislature, and see him in another and more elevated capacity,, giving law to the state, redressing public grievances & heading private wrongs 1
