'Ch e Proclamation contmences by Ftit;, that every Spanish vessel encountering another . . of the same na tion in affording assieatire to the insurgents in arms at isbagaretta, carrying men. arms, ammunition and naval stores, or of any other kind, to them, shall be tOtigSea ed and forfeited, and the master and other principal heads g hun aft at the yard arms,. and the lors and crew! one drawn oat of five; if they are not (mind as culpable as the rest,. otherwise to nndergn an equal fate t the Lime will be observed with regard to any other foreign vessel: and crews • for, as the Spa niel: nation is at full peace with all the rest, it is not • to be supposed that they can with any propriety, af ford assistance to traitors, nor to permit themselves similar inmertations, as all those who find them. + selves in this case must be considered as pirates and public assassins, excepting those vessels .herewith some lirn:tatitn must take place with respect to their registers of navigation. The proclamation, of which the above is the substance, is °flitted every where to iv made pablic. With all the efforts, however, of the victorious Royalists, they have not been enabled to subdue the . islaud of Margaretta, which still earninues to make a su cessful res:stance. The last attack upon the place vas by an expedition consisting of 500 men of the re. in-ent of the Union, when, strange to tell, the whole v ere killed, together with the 17 officers who com te ended them. By the last accounts, the whole island was in possession of the independents, who had aired large sums to those who would furnish them sueplies of aims, ammunition, and provisions. General Saran', the commander of the Indepen cleat; of Venezuela, .has taken the city of -Barieas, - and has a large force of cavalry with him. it will be recollected that some stir was made in tf.e House of Commons last year relative to the Go. ve t nor of Gibraltar having presumed to give up to the Spanish government four persecuted Spaniards, who had thrown themselves under the protection of the British at that place We now learn, with peen. liar satisfaction, that the British Government inter fered with the Spanish Government in behalf of these unfortunate Spaniards, who had been consigned to banishment to Ceuta, and with success. The Spa. &lads, whose names are Don Jose Corms Madariago, Juan G.. Rostio, Juan Parbel Castillo, Juan Pablo Ayala, were, by the last accounts, at Kingston, where they have published the correspondence pre ceding their liberation. Of the British nation they Speak with unbounded gratitude. • They proclaim, that their restitution to society is the effect of the excellence of the English constitution, the integrity of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, and the noble patriotism of the Parliament of Great Britain. Their gratitude, they say, requires that the whole worlihshould know the extent of their obligations to . the British Government and its Magna Charta. ' Here follow letters Nos. 1,2, and 3. The first is from Pedro Cevallos to his Excellency the Minister Genital of the Indies. stating the circumstances of the. Spaniards having been given up, and the appli• ratites of the British Government fur their restitution. This • letter concludes as follows • 'As his Majesty desires to prove the very great regard he entertains for his Royal.Higliness the Prince 'Regent of England, who has taken so much interest lir this matter, it has been resolved that these subjects be delivered in Gibraltar to the disposition of the Bri tish Government, which I communicate to you by order of the King, for your information, and your compliance therewith."

It was soon discovered that he was in a dying state, and his friends laid him unon his bed, but he expired very soon after in the arta of his daughter. Letters from Augsburg announce, but without an assurance of the fact, that General Count Kruse. marck, Ambassador from Prussia to the Court of Austria, lost his life, passing the Brume Mountain in the Tyrol, on his return to Berlin from Milan.

The furor Perdry, a notary At Guiornain, depart ment of La Cr!Ult, having been arrested for alleged seditious - cries, was acquitted by the Cour Royale of. Limoges, but subsequently imprisoned by order of the Prefect. During four months confinement he has made several applicAtionslor redress to the inister of Police, without receiving any answer. Ti yer of the petition is to be set at liberty. The Chamber passed to the order of the day, it having been observed by the commission, that there appeared good cause upon a view of the facts, for the arrest of the Sieur Perdry. The watch and clocks:takers of Paris prayed for the re-establistimint of corporations and masterships, as beneficial in a moral, political, and financial point of view.

On the 4th of November last there Oppeare4, nen inn in Valladolid. si young female, from IS to 10 years of age, of ordinary size, good cod:pinion, dark eyes, full breast, clad in a blue riding dress' and beaver tap, speaking a dialect half Portuguese, halt Gellican, and scarcely able to read. $k was : attended by Purre Romero, who accompanied kr from Greve: in Portugal, and apart whom she passed herself for the sister of his M.ijesty Ferdinand VII.. whose favour she promised him. Thfi report reached the Governor, and excited general suspicion. The Corregidor, with the Aleade•Major and Notary, pro. needed to ascertain the truth r they found the girl in bed, and thought it their duty not to disturb the ;lumbers of one who represented herself as belonging to the Royal Family. The hest day they renewed their inquiries, and obtained hei answers, which al ways ended with the worls, * I am the sister,ve the niece of Ferdinand VII." However, -bee accent, her agitation, and want of say proof of the troth of her pretensions, excited distrust. An immense crowd assembled, and the Magistrates thought it right to remove her to a..respectable house, where she was treated with proper regard, but under a dose watch. At length', after undergoing a fresh examination, a4tel wearying the patience of the Magistrates, `fie; declared tier nausa to be. blatie retaandes, day:Ater • of Francois Ar;ot of Oporto, who farad her into the Convent of Santiago, far refusing to Miry Con trary to .her inclination, from which she escaped *et ten months confinement, by mews of a ladder procured for her by a More favoured love ; that *radios the resentment of her father she abandoned herself to her fortune alone, and without means, in which condition she assumed the name of Marie l Isabelle de Bourbon, sister of Ferdinand VII. under ' which she introduced herself to Romero. Upon this Romero and others, who bad been imposed upon, were released horn confinement by the Magistrates. A. report of it was made to the King, and his Ma jesty, to pity to het situation and her se; pardoned her assumption or the name of the Royal Family.— The Alcade•Major was commanded to require her friends, at Oporto, to take her home, on payment of all costs and charges occasioned by her ; she in the mean time to continue a close prisoner. It has since appeared, that she disguised the truth in her account of her escape from Portugal. During her confine ment, she has spoken in such a manner as to leave no - doubt of her being deranged. She has accord- ingly, and in the absence of any answer from Oporto, been removed to the madhouse of Valladolid, where she now remains. The charges payable to the King have been remitted, and an official statement of the facts published, in order that the friends of Marie Fernandes, if she has any, may discover her, and save her henceforth from dangers, which she escaped only through the clemency of his Majesty. FRANKFORT I , APR!L to We have announced, upon the authority of the Gazette of atreuth, that the Duke of Otranto had arrived at Prague, and that he was endeavouring to purchase an hotel there. This account is false : the Duke of Otranto is still at Dresden. NAPLES, APRIL 9. Since the fire at the Theatre of S tint Charles, the Police has been searching for a number of persons, who took advantage of the disorder inseparable from such an event to penetrate into the Royal Palace, and steal a great quantity of precious articles. The table plate has been already recovered, as well as some other articles, and some suspected persons have been taken. and are to be tried. They will probably int• {mach their accomplices. PRIVATE LETTER. " PAM, APRIL 15. 64 The Polytechnical School, that celebrated nur sery for Artillery and Engineer Officers, is this day suppressed by an Ordonnance of the King. This se. minary for military instruction had long since been viewed with a jealous eye by the Court, both on ac count of its Revolutionary origin, and of the patriotic spirit of the youth educated therein, evinced by their defence of Pads against the Allies in 1814, and. again by their active exertions for the same purpose in 1815, which spirit it has hitherto been found im. possible to stifle, or suddenly to transform into a love of Royalty. • 44 Symptoms of discontent having lately been ma nifested on the occasion of an attempt to introduce some innovations into the Establishment, the oppor tunity was considered favourable for suppressing it, in consequence of which a strong detachment of the Royal Guard was ordered to take possession of the building at midnight, to dismantle the school of its arms, and to carry off fifty of its most refractory youths. The remainder are sent back to their parents and put under the surveillance of the Police. . • . 0 The military who have *served in the late cam paign, are every where objects of persecntiun. One hundred and forty.two individual , chivfly Officers of that description, have been arrested within these three days at Versailles- and at Paris, under the vague pretence of being concerned in a conspiracy against Government. Thesit'arrests have been effected by the Military Police, under the direction of M. de l,.espinois. It has been observed, that the Chamber of De puties never uttered a greater truth, than when they declared that they did not represent the people.— Among other points in which they have been unfaith ful to their trust, may be instanced the following : The charge of voting money supplies is, as with us, their peculiar privilege. They have shewn them selves so little jealous of this privilege, that they have relinquished it in the instance of certain municipal duties, which they suffer to be imposed by municipal or departmental boards, ender the sanction of the Minister of the Interior, or the Prefects, which is the same thing. Since the Constituent Assembly in 1791, down to the Imperial Government, no monies were ever raised but by special act of the Legislature.— Napoleon first introduced innovation on this point by allowinti municipal duties to be imposed by the local authorities, subject to the sanction of the Council of State. The present Minister of Finance had with. drawn from the municipal bodies the power of making such irregular levies of money. on account of their interfering with the general system of taxation. But at the request of M. vie Vaublanc, it the opening of the discussions on the Budget, this faculty of raising money without the special concurrence of the House, was restored to the Municipal Board s, no longer subject as heretofore to the sanction of the Council of State, but merely to that of the Minister of the Interior. if The special teatime Tar, also laid for the pur pose of defraying die expenses attending the repair of roads, canals, and other objects of generalimerest, are now, in common with the municipal duties in question, raised without limitation, and for the benefit of that partial interest, io which evety thing is at this time subservient, that of the Aristocracy, consisting of the Clergy and Nobility. -• 0 'the extraordinary contributions, such as those laid for the purpose of paying 100 millions imposed by the Allies, are assessed by the Prefects without any rule but their pleasure ; by which nw.ans, tl.e holdtis of national property (very different frem the original purchasers of such property) the Isterilbersl of the late House of Representatives, all such as have filled places under the late usurpation, and all known for their panic:ode; r, as otherwise called, tevola tionary principles, are heavily assessed, while those of, aristocratic principles and interests, are assessed oath peculiar tendertess.".
