sult ofthe contest in that country.
.The..New Priscilla left Gibraltar the eve-
ning of the id) ofJuly, up to which period no
import‘ant.’event had occurred in Spain by
which a decided and correct opinion could be
formed as to the final result of the present
contest there. The King and Corteswere at
Cadiz which city was invested by the French
both by sea and land, not so effectually-liow—
ever as to prevent supplies ofprovistons and
_btead stuffs going forward__ frorii Gibraltar by
-the way of the river Santa Petre. The whole
French force in Andalusia is said not to ex-
ceed 15,000 men ; much less than that tinni-
beriovest Cadiz. The extraordinary marcli
of this bo':l_v ofmcn, froui Madrid by the Pass
of Despenaperos, through.Seville toward Ca-
diz, without meetiug with the slightest oppo-
_5mon.,_a]rlio:iglr it wasconfitlently believed
twice the number were provided to oppose
tl_iein, excited in the minds of all who were
not in the secret the highest degree of distrust
towards the present leaders, and almost extiti-
guished the remaining hope of eventually
sustaining the Constitutional system. The
successful march of the enemy was soon how-
ever attributed to its right cause—-—tlie disaf-
tection of Gen. Villa Campa who was charg-
ed with the" defence of the pass of Despena-
peros, and whoshortly after declared for the
Royalists. Only I 500 of his men at first accotn-
panied liitii for a few days, and then abandon-
ed him ; and it is a remarkable circumstance
that neither this General nor the Conde de
Abisbal were able in their disaffection to con-
vey to the ranks of the French army a single
Spanisli soldier. Cadiz remained firm, and
there was no prospect of its surrendering to
the‘French so long as there was the least hope
ofsome advantage being obtained over the.
enemy by Ballasteros, Mina, Zayas, or some
ofthe other chiefs, and which, from the state
of feeling known to exist in Spalfls “'35 CW5‘
dently believed would be followed by an ini-
mediate and total destruction of the French
now in the country. The towns in Spain
thro’ which the march of the French troops
is directed, exhibit scenes of infinite distress
and misery, the French being generally pre-
ceded by_ a horde of the most abandoned
Spaniards, termed ‘ Facciosos.’ A town for
some time previous to the arrival of the for-
mer becomes the object of the most wanton
disastrous abuses. But in no instance has this
rabble been successful when opposed by the
National Militia, unless they have had the
French their ‘ holy allies’ to aid them. The
French entered Valencia on the 13th ofJune,
under Count Molit_or—-they intended to direct
at retrogade march towards Barcelona, which
place is in a bi/"h state of defence. Gert. Mi-
na whose ariny is'not sufficiently numerous to
risk a general action, or to oppose the march
ofthe French, hangs on their rear and flanks,
keeping up his familiar guerrilla warfarc.—
Barcelona was ineffectually blockaded by sea.
The whole coutitry being under martial
law, the general mails were constantly inter-
rupted, and even private communications by
expresses to and from Gibraltar were difficult
to be elfected. The last accounts from Gen.
Ballasteros, (who pow seems conimander in
chiefiii Andalusia) were, that he was direct-
ing his march from the kingdotn of Vale_nc.ia
towards the pass of Despenaperos, and after
placing it in a state ofdefence, to prevent the
passage of tnore French troops into Andalu-
sia froin the other side ofsierra de Morena,
intended to proceed toward Cadiz to raise the
siege of that city. On his march his army
was fast increasing its nttmbers——an(l he was
concentrating the best blood and talent ofthe
country. Among others who were passing from
Cadiz tojoin him,and who visited Gibraltar in
their route,were Gens. Zayas and Lallemand.
The former is a brave and intelligent soldier
who distinguished himself at Madrid after the
desertiou ofAbisbal. The lagter is too well
known in America to need any dcscriptio,u.
The received opinion in regard to the af-
fairs of Spain, is that even should the French
succeed in restoring: the King to his absnlutc
power and dispersing theCortes,neither peace
nor tranquility will be secured in the country,
whilst a French soldier remains in the couri-
try. Guerilla parties’ already fill the nioun-
tains, consisting of those who are so far impli-
cated, that their capture by an absolute tritiu-
arch would be followed by an ignoniinious
death. A powerful army in the field, which
to say the least has manifested a firm attach-
ment to a Constitutional_government-—if dis-
persed, can alone secure their safety by seek-
ing‘ the same refuge—-The numbers which
have become possessors ofNational 8L Church
domains, holding their tenure from the Cor-
tes or Constitutional government, all which
must naturally revert back under the absolute
government, and in fine the peculiar hatred
that exists in the breast of a Spaniard against
foreign control, all combine to furnish this
natural conclusion. . A
J
.'La't‘r:n.-—-By an ar. at N. York from Paris,
papers to the 8th ult. are rec’d. The last offi-
eial account from the army of the Pyremiees
is dated at Madrid, June 30. It speaks of sev-
eral petty actions with the Constitntionaists in
the province ofAsturias—-states that they had
taken upwards of 100 piece's‘of caution in Au-
dalusia—-and that the greatest confusion.pre-
vniled in Cadiz, where there was a great scar-
city of provisions. A letter from Port St.
Marys says,‘ nothing can enter Cadiz by sea
or laiid—tlie harvest in Spain having been
backward, there is no provisions in the place,
8L they have not a supply for more than lodays.
It is said the Infantof Portugal was about
to join the French army before Cadiz.
. The Constitutiotinel mentions that a report
had been in circulation for several days, that
the Duke of Angoulerne was about to return
to Paris, and would he succeeded in command
by Marshal Lauriston,who had gone to Spain.
The papers contain Londoti dates to the
5th July, which mention nothing ofimport-
ance, except that the indications ofa revolt
in Ireland had become so serious as to alarm
the government.—-.Mcrc. ./Sldv.
PARIS, July 5.-—-Governnieut cannot take
tooenergetic measures to protect maritime
commerce from the audacit_v ofthe privateérs.
The ministerial journals deny the- evil ; the
government is interested in knowing and pre-
venting it; it arms and maintains cruizers; if
they are insufficient, it is necessary to multi-
ply them and increase their force. The ca-
lamity that we make known for the common
benefit of the nation and ofthe ministry, is
unfortunately undeniable, arid the real disas-
ters are still_augmented by the uneasiness that
they give to the public, and the stagnation
that they cause to trade. Facts speak on this
of our correspondents at Marseilles writes to
us as follows under date of the 923th ofJune.
“Within. forty days the known captures a-
mount to upwards ofthirty French or Neutral
vessels ; ofthis number 14 belting to the port
of Marseilles. The day before yesterday a
privateer captured, -at the distance of two
leagues from our port, a vessel laden with oil.
Insurance has risen from 4 to 10 per cent. for
passing the Streigbts of Gibraltar. This iii-
crease of premium crushes our ship owners,
and adds to the loss occasioned by captures.
A flag oftruce that arrived yesterday, bring-
ing the Frencli Vice Consul from Majorca,
declares that there had left Mahou, 17 priva-
teers of different sizes, and six others froui
the ports ofIvica or Majorca. Our port con-
tains already more than 200 vessels dismant-
led. The labors of repairing and building
are suspended. -'

ofthe attempts made to assassinate him.
The Grce/c cause prospers. The court of
Vicna, iti imitation of other powers, has deci-
ded to respect the blockade ofTurk_ish ports
by the Greeks. Lord Byron has chartered a
vessel for 2’. tnouths, and expressed his inten-
tion ofpersonally aiding the Greeks. The

New-Yortx, August E25.-—Latcst from Ca-
tl{2.'.—'1‘lie ship Canton, which arrived at this
port on Saturday, sailed from Cadiz on the
10th oflast month, to which date, inclusive,
we have newspapers, letters and verbal intel-
ligence. They generally concur in stating,
that the place was well supplied with provis-
ions, and that there had been no indications
ofa disposition to relax the measures of de-
fence. Some, however, entertained the opiu-
ion that the place would not long hold out,
and that there was not virtue enough in the
people of Spain to support, or live under a
free government. Riego is"said to have be-
come unpopular.
W'c learn by a passenger, that Flour was13

thrown into the sea.
Mr. Am>Ln't'o.v, the American Charge de
Affaires, was at Cadiz.
Capt. Macauly. of the Canton, states that
it wusunderstood there was three months sup-
ply of provisions in Cadiz, and numerous ar-
rivals there daily; - ,
At Algesiras, and San Fernando, there was
a plentiful supply.
“fe learn from the Cadiz papers, that the
Cortes were laboriously engaged in the dis-
cussion of such projects as might tend to aid
the Constitutional cause. The papers say
that Madrid was suffering for every thing, ex-
cept houses and water, provisions of all kinds
being scarce and dear. _
Letters from St. Marys, say the whole
force destined to the seige of Cadiz, is 90,000.
Cadiz, July 5.—Several private letters re-
ceived to-day frotn Corruna, state that a
French division of 600 men, had made a pre-
cipitate retreat across the Pyrennees.
Cadiz, July 9.—-Gen. Zayas, who proceed-
ed hence for .Malaga, writes from that place,
that the enthusiasm for the cause, which pre-
vails in that place, is difficult" to describe.——
The last accounts state that he had set out
with his division for Grenada.

FROM M.u*AN7.As.——Captain Pearson‘; at
Charleston, who left Matanzas about the 10th
or 11th inst. states, that the U. S. schr. Gram-
pus, Lieut. Com. Gregory, was at anchor a-
breast ofthe Fo_rt, and examined all vessels
and boats, whether going in or coming ottt.—-
She has three launches among the Keys, and
off Point De Caycas, and one between the
Points of the Bay of Matanzas——so that pira-
cy in that quarter is kept down for the present.
On the 9th lost. the Governor sent his boat
on board_ of the Grampus, to demand of capt.
Gregory his motive for lying so long in port,
that if he wanted provisions or water, he had
been there long enough ; that the governtnent
did not allow their own vessels of war to re-
main at anchor longer than 48 hours at one
time, %Lc.—Capt. Gregory’s reply was, that
he came there for the protection of American
commerce, and that of Spain if necessary ;
and that he would remain there as long as
might be required for tlies_e objects, or until
compelled by force to retire.
Capt. Pearson says the inhabitants of Ma-
tanzas were umch dissatisfied with the length
of Capt. Gregory’s visit; whose exertions for
tlie suppression ofpiracyv, were very great.
The U.S. schrs.Fox and Weasel were seen

‘ VIRQUE. LIBERT2‘, AND INDEPENDENCE.’-
The $3000 prize in the State Lottery, has
fallen to a worthy, industrious, but unfortu-
nate mechanic in New-Haven. ’
It will be recollected that Commodore Por-
ter sent into Havana, for trial, the pirates who
survived the slaughter of their comrades by
Lietitenant Watson; These men have been
tried by the proper authority, and in a letter
to the Captain General" of Cuba, which has
been communicated to Com.Porter,the Judge
states, “ an appearance has not resulted that
they had an actual participation in the inva-
sions and robberies; they being brought to
their condition by compulsion. But as I have
informationthat those who escaped, are now
apprehended and carried to Ma tanzas, where
a process will beinstituted against them, and
where the most -sure means will be adopted
for discovering the plain truth, 1 have consid-
ered it expedient to send tjterii to Matanzas.”
./1 Raft.-—The Newburg Index says a raft
arrived at that village on the 16th inst. which
was 35.’) feet long, 121 wide, and contained
130,000 feet ofsquare timber, besides a quan-
tity of boards, estimated to be worth 95 or
30,000 dollars. At Albany the enterprising
owner had sold a considerable quantity oftitn—
ber, to be used in building the basin,»aird had
landed a large quantity oftimber, boards, and
shingles at Poughk-eepsie,and other places on
the river; and was then on his way to New-
York to dispose ofthe remainder. . The raft
was navigated by ten men ; and had on board
a house, well furnished for their comfort, and
a. barn, with a cow, horse and carriage. This
timber had all been cut toithe east of Onion
river, in the state ofV,ermoot, floated down
the Champlain canal, and embodied at Fort
Edward into the great mass above stated.
It is stated in the American that the tread-
wheel has been applied to the propelling of
barges on canals. The apparatus is made light
and separate from the barge, and it. is found
that two men can propel a barge by it at the
rate of five tniles an hour. The saving in the
expense of horses and track-roads promises to
make this application ofhuman powervaluable.
On Monday, the 18th inst. the New-York

Jlfelancholy occurrence.—Ou Thursday af-
ternoon last, as a waggou was returning from
Derby to this city, in which were Mrs. Attics,
wife of Mr. Charles A. merchant of N. York,
their son 13 months old, Miss Marshall,
(daughter of Capt. Samuel B. Marshall, of
this city,)and Mr. Ames’ clerk, near the top
of the_long hill west of the gate near Rim-
niou Falls turnpike, the horse became restless
and unmanageable, (probably from the cir-
cumstance of being detained by a previous
accident,) ran violently down the hill, threw
all the passengers out of the waggon, and one
wheel passing over the head ofthe child, kill-
ed him instantly. Miss Marshall was severe-
ly bruised, and Mrs. Ames was considerably
injured. The young man escaped unhurt.
Difficulty seemed to threaten them about the
time they left Derby; for the waggon broke
down soon after they started, and they were
obliged to procure another. The waggon
fell over by the dropping off of a wheel, and
Mrs. Antes, after recovering, remarked with
the fond feelings of a mother, that she had
bruised her arm, but had saved her child by

fl .Meteoric Stone fell at Nobbleboro, (near
Wiscasset) on the 7th of August. It was first
discovered by a farmer at work in his field,
whose attention was arrested by an unusual
noise in the air, like the firing of many guns
in repeated successsion. In a. few minutes,
this noise was changed to something like that
produced by wind among trees, and upon
looking up he saw what he thought acloud in
quick motion, and at that instant heard some-
thing strike the ground near him, which upon
examination he found to be a stone ofan ashy
grey colour, covered with a coat of black re-
sembling oxyde of iron, its granular texture
like coarse sand stone, andpveigliing about
four pounds.

Duclliiig.—In speaking of the Newspaper
publications which caused and followed the
duel in which Joshua Barton, Esq. of St.Lou-
is, lost his life, the editors of the National In-
telligeucer remark: “ \Ve feel it to be a duty
to. protest against principles which we find a-
vowed by writers in the St. Louis papers,even
since the fatal event, which gives to this con-
troversy a sanguinary aspect. How lotig are
our liberties to last, if a citizen,stating facts,or
supposed facts,in regard to the official conduct
ofa public officer, is to be held to answer for
it with his life? Corruption may prey undis-
turbed upon the vitals ofthe Republic, and
will do so, if the monstrous heresy prevails,
which is proclaimed in this doctrine. Putting
out of view the fundamental objections to du-
elling, we deny pcremptorily the right of any
public ofiicer to inake a personal tnatter ofa
discussion ofhis public conduct. Every citi-
zen has a right to questioujlie public conduct
ofa public officer. The freedom of such dis-
cussion was not secured to the people by the
Constitution, to be made mere mockery of by
the public servants.” .
It is stated, as an evidence ofthe usefulness

would ascend, and probably exten'd their ex-
cursion as far north as Lake Winnepeg.
flpple Jelly/.——It is not known, perhaps, so
generally as it ought to be, that apples make
an excellentjelly. The process is as follows :
They are to be pared, quartered, the core en-
tirely removed, put itito a pot without water,
cfosely covered, and placed in an oven over a
fire. When pretty well stewed the juice is to
be squeezed out through a cloth, to which a
little white of an egg is added, and then the
sugar. Skim it previous to boiling, then re-
duce it to a proper consistence, and an excel-
lent jelly will be the product.
./9mpIiibiousBi'rds.——A writer in the Nation-

the water is the place of the winter residence
of the .Marlz'n and the Orlolan. The sudden
disappearance of the Martin in the Autumn,
is well known, and it is a very remarkable
fact that the place of their winter abode has
never been discovered. The writer states, as
a fact, that a few years ago a flock of Martins
were observed by a person of high standing in
society,hovering over, and descending by two’:
and three’: into the bosom of the water.
