PHILADELPHIA, March 27.
Arrived ship Hope, Gardner, from Gibraltar-
Sailed on the 20th February. The affairs of
Spain were in a very unsettled state. From the
general accottnts received at Gibraltar. much'dis-
content prevailed throughout the kingdom. .-
The tn-atrt body of the Constitutional arniy,con-
sisting of from 1? to 15060 men, still held their
position before Cadiz, and are well supplied with
every thing necessary—-in good condition, and
rhotlerate in their pretensions. No force had
n1a1'cl\eCl against them, and it was thought they
would finally get possession of Cadiz with little
op iosition, as the city was supposed friendly to
their views. _
A detachment of 2000 men had marched(w1th-
out any opposition from Cadiz) and taken posses-
sion of Algesiras, opposite Gibraltar,.ab<‘)tit the
beginning of February. Some of the King s mon-
ey, and the military stores fell - into their hands.
The Constitution was read. and alter remaining
in quiet possession for a few days, they moved
off l0Wi\i'(iS Roqne, a few miles distaitt from,
andin sight of Algesiras. During the occup_a-
tion of Algesit‘as, at frigate and brig from Cadiz,

.General G’Donald appeared to have lost all
his former energy. It was suspected by some
th_.ti he was secretly in the views of the constitu-
tional party; his troops were deserting him by
illllltlI‘('(i’5. The churches in that part of Spain
were thrctigcd with the ll'lli2ll)l[kll‘lI§, who asserti-
bled to take the oath of allegiatice to the New
Constitution. lllumin-.-itions and other tes'.imo- .
tries of appro-h.ttion were exhibited by the people.

so alarntcd at the threatening danger, that they
gave $3000 for a small ft-lucca or boat, to bring
them whrre they would throw themselves into

Extract qf anotlzer letter, dated Feb. 4.
‘ The Constittitionalists at Algeziras are about
3000 strong. The Royal general, U’Donnell, is
some where in the l'lCigill)Oli'l(‘."ti with his force,
so‘ that a fight may be expected unless (as we are
di.-posed to believe will be the case) the Royal
troops join the Constitutionalists.
The Constitutionalists conduct themselves with
the greatest propriety, and pay most generously
for every thing, and do not even allow themselves
to he qt:artered among the inhabitants. It is re-
ported here that the king has said in council, that
before he will acknowledge a Constitutional gov-
ernment, he will retire to England and live upon
his private property. The posts through Spain
have become very irregular, owing to the moves.
merits of the armies.’ ~
Extract of anotlier letter, Feb. 18. _
‘ Atlarge body of the Constitutional troops left
the neighbor hood of St. Rotique,a few days since
and are now in Malaga, on their way to Grena-
da. The Royal Governor of Malaga embarked
immediately. and is now in our bay. The pre-

24.-th Feb. The Courier of that date is nearly
filled with an account ofwa plot, as it is called, to.
assassinate the British_mini.~;try. We have copi-
ed the most interesting particulars of this affair.
, . ‘ LONDON, Feb. 24.
Treason.--Private information having been re.
ceived by the civil power, that it was in contem-
plation, by a gang of diabolical ruflians, to make
an attempt on the lives of"his majesty’s Ministers.
whilst assembled at the house of Earl Bathutst,
to a dittner yesterday, Richard Biinie, with 12 of
the Bow-street patrole, piooeetled to the place of
rendezvous of these 'desperadoes. They were in
a loft deliberating. The only approach to them
was by a narro'w ladder. Rtithvcn, one of the
principal 0filCc‘l‘S led the way, and was followed
by others of the patrole x on the door being open-
ed. 27 or 30‘men. most of whom were apparent-
ly engaged either in chargiiig lire arms, or gird-
ing themselves with belts similar to those which
are worn by the military. As the officer entered
the room, the conspirators all started up, when
ltithven, who had been furnished with a warrant.
exclaimed——‘ W? are all ' /zeacc afliccr.s-, lay down
your arms in a momcnz’—-upon .wttich all became
confusion. A tnan, whom Rutltven describes as
the notorious ./lrtliur T/its/lwwood, opposed him-
self to the ofliceis. armed with a cot antl thrust
sword, of unusual length; Rtithvcti attempted to
secure the door, and Ellis, who had followed him
into the room, advanced towards the man, and
presenting his pistol, exclaimed.‘ (lro/2 your swarrl
07‘ 1’/5 .fi?'¢‘ instanllzl ;' upon which A. T. bran-
dished his sword with increased violence. In the
affair one of the peace oflicers was killed.
\Vhilst this deed wasdning, the lights were ex-
tinguished, and a tlespcrate Sil'll§;‘__Q.‘iB etisuctl, in

glanced along the side of his head, tearing up the
scalp ittits way. The conspirators kept up an
incessant fire; whilst it was evident to the oili-
cers tliat many were esc’spitig by some back way.
At this moment Capt. l"itzc't-areitcc arrived at the
lieatl ofa detacltment of Cizartls, and three files
of Grenadiers mounted the ladder and entered
the room, now filled wirh smoke and only illit-
minated by the occasional ll-aslies of the fire arms
of the conspirators. A rt.;tli.m instantly approatzli.

his breast, but as he was in the act of pulling the
trigger, Sergeant Leggzc rushed forward, and
whilst attempting to ptit aside the tlestrtictivc
weapgn, received the fire upon his arm.
it is impossible to give » a minute detail of the
desperate conflict which followed. or the numer-
ous instances of personal (lat ing manifested by the
peace officers and the military. thus brought into
sudden contact with a band of assassins in their
obscure den, and in utter darkness. Unfortun-
ately this darkness favored the escape of many of
the wretclres, and the dreadltil skirmish ended. in
the capture of only nine of them. They were
liztitd-cuffetl together, and broug;ht to the Police
office, in Bow street, for examination, under a
strong ntilitary escort.
This indeed is a tremendous anntmciation, but
it is not more tremendous than true. The diel:0i‘-
ical principle which has been inculcatetl in :-.- vo-
lutionary patnplilets and by i"tC‘3l|(ii€1\"y' writ-t:—‘~:-.,
has found wretches wicked enough to act upon it,
both hcteantl at Paris. Scarcely had we finished
coinmntticatiitg the tlctails of the murder of his
Royal I"li_~;liiiess the Iltilfe dc‘ Be-i‘ri—,-iiay, in the

as we have already stated. \\'&.‘l to have taken at-
viay the lives of all his Majesty’s Ministers, at a
cabinet dinnerat the Earl of Hartoivby’s.in Gros-
venor square. ' The time fixed upon was last
night, and but for the timely tll.~iCOVei'_v oftlte pint.
it is probable that we should have had this day to
have recounted stich a scene of blood and rhurtter
as is not to be found in the annals ofthis country
or of any other. - ' .
It appears that the plot has been known for
“somc time to his i‘iIztjesiy’s Ministers, and that
./Irlhur '1'/zisllc'w0od was at the head of the con-
spiracy. The Earl of H-arrowby’s was selected
as being nearer the outlet from London than the
evidence of any other of the Cabinet Ministers,
and of course rendering it more easy to escape.
A reward of 1000!. is offered for 'l'histlewocd,
who stantls charged with high treason, and also
with the wilful mtirdcr of Richard Smitliers.
The horrible plan was. it is said, to have been
executed in the following manner:-—-Tli_istlewood
was to have knocked at Lord .Hart‘owby’s door,
with a letter, purporting to be a dispatch, or wi;h
a red box, as is used in all the public offices. t_l«t:-
siring it to be delivered to the Cabinet Ministers
at dinner,‘ without delay. The servant, it is-sun
postd, would immtdiately proceed with the def,-
patch, while Thistlewood, with 'anotli,ct' of -‘."it"6
were iniui‘ediat_ely. to open the street door—.otlie:_t‘s
were to come in with liand-grenades which were
to be thr'owii itito the house, and in the confusion
produced by them, all the rest ofthe c'onspira:o_is
were to rush into the dining room, where the
Ministers were at dinner, and the work of assas-
sination was to have been instantly begun.
About the time the Privy Council was assem-
bling, word was brought that Tltistleuood ha,-i
been taken. Lavender, Bishop, Ruthven. and
Salmon, proceeded to No. 8 Vvtnte street, Moor-
fieltls. They found Thistlewood in betl-—Bislto;o

of Mr. Ross. of this city, the robbers \V(-ire actect.

them is named Perry Hutton, formerly employ-

He had.latel_v broke gaol at Richmond, where he
had been convicted of kidnapping. This circum.
stance being known to Mr. Ross, he arrested him
and his companion. a Dr. Hull. and on examining
their persons at the gaol,nea;-‘ly six thousand dol-

The latter on being acctised with the murder of
the driver. betrayed evident signs of guilt. Mtult.

with which he proceeded to their boartling house,

being in the least flattered with a hope of pardon,
or that they could receive any other punishment
than that which outraged law imperiously called
i'or. No other persons’ were concerned in the
horrid dectl but themselves. ' The only dil’.’erence
in their coufessidns is that Hutton declares they
did not intend to kill the driver-—the other says
the c:>ii'trat'y. Hull shot him, and llttttoii stabbed
him to put him out of misery when ingreat ago-
ny from the first wound. They declare that the

sire that the United States W~:l.lltl take no stalls I “
for the present, oti the principle of rcpt-isal, which
might possibly it-nti to disturb the peace bctwten
the United States anti -‘Sp-.t.ii~.. There is good
cause to presume, from the delicate ma ‘.liCl' in
which this sentiment has been convey ed. that it
is founded in a belief, as well as a tlt*:i"<=i that Om‘ “
just objvcts may be accomplished witliout the
hazard of such an extremity.
On ftill cotisideratioti of all these citctiin--
stances, l have thought it my duty to submit to
Congress, whether it will not be tlesiraole to post-
pone a decision, on the questions now tlepciiditig
with Spain, until the next st:ssi0n.. The (il'sl¥‘(-ISS
of that nation at this juncture, affords a motive
for this forbearance, which cannot fail to be duly
‘appreciated. Under such cit-ctinistances, the at-
tention of the Spanish goveiiirneti'. may be di-
verted from itsfoieign concerns, anti the arrival
of a minister herebe longer delayed. I am the
more inducetl to suggest this course of proceed-
ing, from a knowledge that, while we shall there-é x
by make a just return to the powers whose good
oll’_tces have been ackitowletlgcd, and increase. by
anew and signal ptoofof moderation. our claims ,
on Spain, our attitude in regard to her will not bit;
less fa-.-or-able at the next session than at present. ‘

The Tea- plant, of the I-lyson species, is said
to be gt-t,-iving in considerable quantities, at a set-‘
tlement of the Friends, on Blue river, in Jackson
county, Inc-liana. borne seeds were found by one
of the society a few years since, in a lot oftea--
were planted, and succeeded so well, that some
of the families in the neighborhood raise a stifli-
ciency for their own consumption.
