SPAIN.-—-The following interesting letter
from Cadiz, dated April .
tliiscity -by the schooner Little William. It
is froin the saiue gciitleiiian, who wrote. rath-

er despondiuglya few days previous to the‘

date of this. VVe l-znow him P€‘I'50“3ll.Y» “Nd
place the utmost confidence in his statements.

Cxniz, April 9.5.—“ The French. 3}‘ Y0"
lmotv, entered Spain on the 7th, and without
meeting atiy opposition proceeded as fitras
Vittoria. The advanced guard is composed
ofdiscoutented Spaniards, which the French
allow very unich against their own interest,
as the spirit of vengeance which leads them
on has created a re-action, and those who
otherwise were (lisposed to receive theFrcuch

_ tranquill_v, are retiring froui their homes. and
uniting themselves toBalasteros bythousands.
Almost,all the. local militia ofthe Provinces,
have alreadyabandoued their houses, and are
collecting where thei-r services may be useful.
In the towns the French have passed, some
disorders have been committed, as much from
the disappointnientof not meeting the wel-
come reception they expected as from any
other cause. The Constitutional General
0’Donnel is doing wonders—we perceive his
energy in every act he performs. Thela:-:t
accounts we have of him, is thatof his liar-
ing organized an army of about 15,000 men,
with which he will soon begin to operate,and
I believe one of his first steps will be to secure
the passes of Sotnosierra, about Iflleagues
northvof Madrid. All the militia of l\rIadrid,
aiiiounting nearly to 8000 men, l1av.e volun-
teered cn masse to join the army of reserve
in Andalusia. VVith such elements in a peo-
ple, what shoiild be their reward P Certainly
not oppression.

“The government have not yet signed a
declaration of war. Vile expect it every mo-
inent. I suppose great numbers of privateers
will be fitted out from the U. States. If they
come here, they will get commissions with-
out any (lifficulty-—the grand object being to
do-the French all the miscliiefpossible.

' “ It is reported, and I believe correctly,
that Cadiz will shortly be put iuider iiiartial

» law, to be prepared for the worst, and that a

..Governor will be appointed who will unite
in his own person, the Civil and Military au-
thority. Ifhe be a [Hill] of nerve, he will do
much good.”

Importrznl to Commerce.——After the above
was in type, the Spanish Letter of l\Iarque
ship Tai'antttl'a, arrived here yesterday in_ 41

days froui Cadiz. VVe learn that she Salletl
on the 5th of ;‘tIay—tliat a formal dcCll1rIli107l
of Wrtrjagaiiist France had been ptiblished ;
that the-Spanish privateers were fitting out
with all expedition—and that one Ifrcnch
mercliast vessel had been captured oti Alge-
siras previous to the sailing of this vessel.

IVe have received by the Aletta, a file of
Bermuda papers to the 1st inst. The British
brig ofivar Sparrowliawk arrived there on the
80th ult. from Halifax, and on her passage fell
in with three Spanish Letters of Marque, crui-
zing for French vessels.

A letter from Marseilles says, altho’ things
are now flat they still maybe better than ever,
when we have a positive certainty ofSpanish
privateers commencing captures of French
inerchantinen; and iftlie Spaniardsiuake the
resistance anticipated from them, the war will
become geiieral, for I see no possibilityofEng-
land escaping. By a vessel just arrived from
Mahon, we learn that 15 privateers were fit-
ting out there.

From the .’Vttlional Irzlclligericer.
I've learn that RE1‘URN J. Mizics has re-
signed the ollice of P()>'lll-l‘rlSlE’l‘ General of the
His successor is not yet de-
signated. It is stated in the New York news-
papers, in an authoritativetone,that Mr.Metgs
was removed from office. For this statement
there is no foundation. The President, in ac-
cepting this gentleuian’s resignation, which

' does not take effect until the first day of next
month, did itin terms ofacknowledguieut and
consideration for his patriotic services, espe-
cially in the late war.

Letters from Ohio inform us that the l‘v'I:\ll
of theUnited States was robbed betweenSiuk-
ing Spring and Braiuliridge, by Johnflecse,

‘ lafe Postmaster at Sinking Spring, who was

apprehended through the active exertions of

one or two ofthc Postinasters on the route.
who placed him in custody. It seems some of
the people were iiidisposcd in apprehending
the man and keeping him in custody; and the
District Judge, who lives on the spot, refused
to take cognizance ofthe case until the Dep-
uty Marshal could be found to take the man
in custody. We should have tliouglit a con-
stable sufficient to apprehend a mail robber,
and a common gaol quite good enough to hold
him. This is a strange country we live in:
_ifa man owes another a dollar, he may be
dragged to a loathsome dungeon, there to lin-
ger out a miserable existence : but ifhe robs
the mail it is a delicate affair to meddle with

- bim—and iflie istried and conricted,3 months’

imprisonment is the measure of his punish-
ment. Such is the case in Olno at least.

Singular‘ Ducl..»The Richmond Inquirer
publishes an account ofa very singular chal-
lenge for which the offending party was pres-
ented by the grand jury of New Kent cottnty,
Virginia, and tried at the superior court on

' the 28th of May. The challenge arose from
a quarrel between :1 Col. Graves and Mr. La-
cy, relative to a seat in the Virginia legislature,
and is set forth in the following count of the
indictment : ‘

‘ Sd count.——And thejurors aforesaid do fur-
ther presentRichardGravcslbr sending a chal-
lenge to Archibald Lacy to light said Ll-raves
a due] in the following manner: that two cups
should be tilled, the one with pure water, and
the other with deadly poison, and that 9. tick-

ets should be rolled up and ptit in a hat, and

they, the Richard Graves and Archibald La-
cy, should draw lots who should drink the cup
ofpoisoii, Sac. &Lc.’ '

This is really draining the cup oflifc and
turning the milk of kiiiduess to gall. That
such desperate passions could be thus excited
is a lauicntable stigma on human nature. It
appeared on the trial that Lacy had challeng-
ed Graves to fi-_r,ht witliflsts, which Graves de-
clined. Col. G. wrote a note to Lacy, pro-
posing a rnex.-ting; they did meet, and Graves
was disabled by an accident; Graves then
tirade the above proposal. The jury, liowev-
er-,:icq~iittt;<d him ofthe facts laidin the indict-
lliel1I.—-..f'l\{l'..‘fiCL1-le.

VIRTUE, LI13ER‘I'2’,/IND INDEPENDENCE.’

‘Bc7u_>fit.s of horse-1~ac'i71g.—It is stated in
the New-York papers that a man put a peri-
od to his existence last week in that city in
consequence oflosing all his money in betting
on the southern horse.

The Pirates out agaz'n.——The captain of a
vessel from Havana ar. at Norfolk, reports
that several vessels have been lately captured
otfthe Isle of Pines, and others cut out of
Catnpeachy by the pirates.

A Kingston paper of May 17, mentions the
arrival there, from a cruize off the Island of
Cuba, offl British sclirs. with a piratical schr.
which they had captured. On the 538th April
they saw a large piratical sclir.and gave chase
but on nearing them the crew set heron fire
and escaped to the shore. The next day they
descried a sloop inshore, and sent their boats
to capture her, when the pirates commenced
a heavy fire from the shore, which they kept
tip for foitr hours and then tied to the woods,
leaving 2. killed and several wounded. Their
force consisted of I60 men, being in part the
crew of the schooner before mentioned.

The time :tppi'rniClieS at which we may ex-
pect the rcturn nt Commodore Porter and a
part of his .~quadron. They have endured
grr-atexposure in a most fatiguing service. A
sufficient force will doubtless be left to guard
against a renewal of their base and bloody
career; btit we trust the whole squadron, at-
tached to which are so niany valuable officers
and seamen, will not remain to endure the ef-
fects of -.1 vertical sun, in the season which is
now near at liat’itl.—-.tV'.'1l. Intcll.

During the storm ofFrir!ay night, the dwel-
ling house of Mr. Alden Spnoner, Brooklyn,
L.I. Editor of the Long Island Star, was
struck with lightning, which shattered the
building from top to bottom, threw down the
chimney and destroyed and melted every 0.1‘-
ticlc of glass in the house. It is iuiractilous,
that, of 14 persons in the house, not one was
injured. Several other liiiiltlirigs and 9. sloops
were struck at the time and much injured.

New-Orleans papers to the 19th tilt. receiv-
ed at N. York, state that the river continued
to rise, for 500 miles up. Several crevasscs
were i .-.port°.d between Bayou Sarah and the
city——onc a few miles above La Fourclie, was
apparently 9.00 feet wide, where the water was
rushing in _witli treuiendous force. The seat
ofjusticc at Catahoula Parish, was 5 or 6 feet
under water. At the mouth ofliml I-liver, the
Mississippi was steadily rising at the rate ofl
to 1 1-9 inch per hour. A crevasse has been
tirade about 200 feet wide 13 miles above
Natcliez.—.lIerc. fltlv.

Later accoiuits statethat the river has fallen.
Fire at FI'cdrr2'c/rsbtt.7'g.——A letter from
Fi'et|ericksbui'g.Va. by yesterday’s mail, states
that a fire broke out on the 9th inst, about ll
o’clock, in the Farmer’s Hotel, (late Colum-
bian Imi,) which was destroyed, with the sta-
bles, and about £0 ll()TS(’S‘—~:Ilst) four i“i-auie-—
one stone—and about nine brick buildings on
the Main street, between the Farmer's Hotel
and the Indian Queen Tavern. The loss to
the Mutual Assurance Coiupany was estimat-
ed at $40,000, and to individuals S‘“?.(t,000. It
was not known how the fire origiiiatetl.

Another letter says--“ 15 dwelling ll()llS.'3S,
and several stores, with considerable inerclian-
dize, were destroyetl.”-——.'lIe1‘c. fldv.

The Convention ofthe Protestant Episco-
pal Churcli in Connecticut, uiet in Me-riilcn
outhe /lth inst. The Rev. Mr. Hull and the
Rev...'ohii M. Garfield, were adinittcd to the
holy order of Priests. The usual business
was transacted with great liarinouy, and the
Convention adjourned the following day.[€cg.

At Southwick, lliass. on the night of Stin-
day, the 3th inst. the Presbyterian llleeting
lug-llouse was destroyed by fire, supposed to
have been cointiniriicatctl liy an incendiary.

Cu.nals.——At the late session of the lo_:',isla—
turc, a resolution was adopted, exieiiipiiug
from taxation the stock ofthc several canal
companies recently incorporated in this state,
it loiigas the nett annual income shall not
»-.\'cccd six per cent on the capital stock, pro-
vided ahat whenever the income shall exceed
six per cent, and be less thzui twelve per cent.
the company shall pay into the Treasury ofthc
state one sixth part ofsuch excess. A resolu-
tion was also adopted that any company might
receive and enjoy all the income from tolls,
transittluties, and other priviiiges, witlit_iut-be-
iug liable to reduce the rate of the saute, not-
with.~:t:.nding they may exceed twelve per
cent. per aiinum, provided, that whenever the
nett ainiual income shall exceed twelve per
cent, the company shall pay one fifth part of
the excess over six per cent into the State
Treasury. 'l‘o be entitled to the benefit of
these resolutions, the assent ofthc crnnpauy to
all the provisions contained in the satire, must
be-given within twelve months after the choice
of riflicei's.—’I‘lie design ofthc legislature is to
induce persons to subscribe to the stock of the
canal ‘comp-.1nies.——Journr1l.

A circumstance occurred yesterday, which
more fully, perhaps, than a thousand argu-
til8l'\IS,(.lCfI'n0l]S[l‘ill(lS the utility ofthe Stepping-
mill as a mode of punishment, and its superi-
ority, for that purpose, over iiicarceratioii in
the state prison. . .

A fellow by the name ofI’erry was arrai:_3'n-
ed on an indictment for stealing sundry arti-
cles ofproperty, the value of which was there-
in stated to be a few-cents over 327.0. The
prisoner pleaded guilty, when the Recorder-
on looki.‘,g at the indictment and observing
its near approacli to the limit which would re-
duce the offence and its ptinisliinent, by the
terms of the statute, from grand to petit lar-
ceny—-remarked, that it was proper the pris-
oner should distinctly understand the subject,
and liitmauely suggested to him that possibly
it might 'dii'ii out, on investigation by ajury,
that the value oftlie articles had been overra-
ted, whereas the general plea of guilty would
necessarily subject him to the punishment pre-
scribed for grand larceny. It .|.ppe.='.t‘S, how-
ever, that the fellow was fully 2‘.\'fj.li'B of the
consequences of his plea. Ile persisted in it,
and i'el'ttsezi a. trial byjury, for‘tbe express
reason tli",t’ he preferred confineuiont three
orfour years in the state prison, to the exer-

L cise ofthe stepping-mill for perhaps days I"

in the Penitentiary.—./Imerican.

The Hessian Fly has made its appearance
in the western part of the state of New-York,
and" many farmers have ploughed up whole
fields of winter grain, and planted them with
corn-—others have turned in their cattle upon
their fields.

Tear.-—A lady in North Carolina is said to
have found a seed, much resembling a grain
of buck-wlieat, in a box oftea, which she was
induced to plant. The result was a fine tea-
plant, from which a second and third growth
has been obtained, amounting to a considera-
ble qtiantity in the whole. It is believed that
the tea—plant might be cultivated with advan-
tage and profit in the southern states.

A few weeks since, as a yoke of oxen be-
longing to a Mr. Jackson of Goshen,were gra-
zing in a licld, a lingo black snake darted tip-
on one ofthoui and fastened himself round its
neck—-the bellowing ofthe oxen soon brought
assistance, and the snake, which was found
clasping the neck ofthc ox,with his tail wound
round his own neck and head, was killed.-

ked to death if assistance had not been near.

Di'amonds.——-In the Statesiiiaii of Friday
evening is given an account of sonic experi-
ments made by Pi'til‘csst)i' Silliniau, with the
pliilosophical instrument crtlled the I}!;/lagra-
lo)‘, invented by Pi-cf=:ssiii' I-Iare, ofPhiladel-
phia, by which we are given to understand
that charcoal, plumbago and aiitlir:icit+.r have
by tliepower of this iu~:ti'umcnt been _/'u..s-ml
and converted into (li‘l?ll0Il£l3. It has bcen
known for a longtime that by sulrjecting dia-
monds to a great heat, they may be converted
into PURE carbori. But it has heretofore been
beyond the reach of art to convert charcoal
into diamonds; every reason is given us to
believe that it has ri=inaiuvd for America to
produce a chemist who has succeeded in a
discovery of nearly, if not quite as unich iin-
portance, if it should be fully confirmeil, as
that ofthe pliilosop|ier’sstone would be. IVe
give the following extract, as containing the
.-entiments ofthc Professor on the result ofthe
experiments, in addition to which he has re-
marked, that “ it will now probably not be
deemed extravagant ifwe coiiclude that our
melted carbonaceous siibstances approximate
very nearly to the condition ofdiaiiioti(ls.”

‘ On the end ofthc prepared charcoal and
occupying frequently an area ofa quarter of
an inch or more in diameter, were found nu-
uierous globules ofperfectly uteltcd niattcr
entirely spherical in their forui,having a high
viterous lustre, and a great degree of beauty.
Some oftliein, and generally they were those
most remote from the foc-us,were ofa jet black.
like the most perfect obsidian; others were
brown, yellow, and topaz colored ; other still
were grcyish white, like pearl stones, with the
trauslucence and lustre of porcelain ; and oth-
ers still limped like flint glass or in some cas-
es hyalitc or precious opal, but without the
irideseence ofthc latter.’ _

‘ I detached some ofthe globules and firmly
bedding them in a handle of wood, tried their
hardness and firmness ; they bore strongpres-
sure without breaking, and easily scratched
not only flint glass but window glass, and ev-
'en the hard green variety which forms the a-
qua fortis bottles. The globulas which had
acquired this extraordinary hardness, were
formed from plumbago, which was so soft that
it was perfectly free from resistance when
crushed between the thumb and finger.’

./1 western I-Icrmz't.—‘-About 12 miles above
thejunctioii of Spoon and Illinois rivers, ini-
mediately on the batik ofthe former,there has
been living, for 3 years past, a man who has
entirely secluded himself from the world, and
dwells alone in the midst of the wildernc-ss,
and upwards of 60 miles from the residence
of any human being. His name is Davidson,
is a physician, was formerly a surgeon in the
U. S. army, and was a pupil to the celebrated
Dr.Rusli. He has a number of medical books,
two guns, :1 (log, and a quantity of clothing.
He has erected a siriall lint, and has an acre
ofground in cultivation. At the back ofhis
garden runs Spoon river, in which he has a
fish trap. His food is wild turkeys and other
game, fish, and the produce of his garden.-
He appears displeased at the sight ofa litiman
being. My informant saw him at his resi-
dence, being impelled by curiosity to visit
bii_ii, and inquired particularly the cause of
his strange seclusion. He said it was to keep
clear of the wretched white people. His fa-
ther lives in Pennsylvania, and he has rec’d
many solicitous letters from him and other
friends to return, btit he has never answered
one, and declares it tobe his determination
to remove from his present situation as soon
as the whites approach too near him. When
his present stock of clothing wears out, he in-
tends to dress himself in skins.-—1ncl. Gaz.
