That General Desnonettes is at the White Bluff, and Ge neral Clausel at Mobile. They confirm the report, that these personages have disposed of a great part of the lands they purchased of Congress to specula tors ; but that the new settlement did not excite any apprehensions at Mobile ; and will diminish to a shadow whenevet Louis XVIII. condescends to par don and permit their return to France. It is thought they would rather cultivate leaves and boughs (bows) k the Thuileries in Paris, than grapes and olives, or even barren laurel, in the desarts of Texas. FROM THE NEW ORLEANS GAZETTE, OP JULY 1. SPANISH INSOLENCE.—The ship Caroline, Serrill, is at the Turn ffom Philadelphia, which place she left on the 6th ult. Passengers in her, who arrived in town last night, report, that on the 22d of June, off the .Bahama Banks, they fell in with a Spanish squadron, consisting of a ship and two man-of-war. biigs, which commenced firing into the Caroline, as soon as they could bring their guns to brar, and continued until they had carried away much of her standing And running rigging, when they hailed, and ordered the Captain on board. To his inquiry of the Commodore, why he had attacked an Ameti can vessel in this manner, no reply was made ; and on representing the damage sustained, the Commo dore d—d him, and said he was only sorry he had not sunk him. This is, no doubt, the same squadron that fired' into Captain M'Cormick a short time since, and that they are determined to insult every unarmed vessel' they suppose to be an American ; whether in pursu atice of orders from Old Spain, or from the Captain- General of Cuba, Is unknown ; but whether one or the other, we have already borne too much of Spa nish insult and aggression—the measure is full. A Charleston Paper states a circumstance as cre ditable to the police of that city as to the industry of the poorer class of its inhabitants. The City Marshal seized a quantity of bread not of the legal weight, and after advertising it for distribution amongst the poor, could not find poor people enough to take it (If his hands! . CAPTURE OF PORTUGUESE SHIPS, BY PRIVATEERS PITTED OUT AT BALTIMORE, WITII ARTICAS'S COMMISSIONS. " St. Bartholomew, July 12. " Mr. Printer—Your paper Is the only channel through which the abominable deeds which have been committed here of late may be publicly made known. Two piratical schooners, pilot boats, originally fitted out at Baltimore, owned by a aptain N—, a Captain and a Mr. G-.-- ' have, under the cloak of commissions from Artigas, too well known to require any particular description, brought into this island, and into the adjacent keys, two most valuable Portuguese ships of about 4 or 500 tons each, one loaded with the productions of the Brazils— say sugar, rum, coffee, hides, tallow, rice, and cinnamon, bound to Lisbon ; the other loaded with salt, wine, butter, cheese, raisins, figs, perfumery, dry goods, and spices, bound from Lis- bon to the Brazils : the first came to anchor boldly into this harbour, under Portuguese colours, made her entry at the Cus tom-house, and immediately began to discharge her cargo, which the agents sold or re-shipped immediately on board of American vessels for the United States; the second went to anchor at Flat Island, from which she has sent up the whole of her cargo by droghers, and the sale of which began at public auction yesterday. " The inhabitants exclaim loudly against these piratical acts, which the Government appears to shut its eyes 00, and has treated with indifference every representation on the subject. rt is to be hoped that, whatever may be the ultimate result of these atrocities, the innocent inhabitants of this town may not be in cluded with the few guilty. A Captain P.--, of whom the American Papers have 'already spoken, is the person who fur nished the above-mentioned pirates with commissions, of which . . he brought a quire with }Am a in April last from the River Plate. Two brigs, fitted out at Baltimore, have since arrived, and are at anchor at Five Islands, bound on a eruize against the poor harmless Portuguese ; so that in a short time this is likely to be come the chief entrepot of the Brazilian productions, and of the Portuguese manufactures, The above-mentioned ships are in sured at Lloyd's." SOUTH AMERICA. A LETTER FROM lE.XICO, DATED 22D MAY LAST, AND WRITTEN BY A EUROPEAN SPANIARD, GIiVES TILE FOLLOWING INTELLIGENCE: " The Revolution continues the same, or even worse. In Bagio the Insurgents have considerably increased their numbers by emigration from other parts. Guanaxuato is in danger of falling into their hands. Poverty, which daily increases in that City (formerly so opulent), gives great facility to such an event. Our Government had assured us that we should receive every month a convoy from Gua naxuato, as well as the mail (Correo) ; and four months have now elapsed without our having received either : for more than six weeks we have not had any intelligence of what is doing there. The difficulty of procuring quicksilver has become extreme; for the carriage of three quintals, from Vera Cruz to this place, cost eighty dollars, the distance being 80 leagues : to Guanaxuato the price is dodble, the dis tance being . 170 leagues. Many estates in the envi rons of this Capital have been burnt, which has caused us much distress. In a word this Kingdom does not present us with the least hope of pacifica tion in any one part. What a pity ! that Spain should be about to lose the most precious region on earth, for want of prudent, judicious, and unprejudiced Chiefs : those we have, unfortunately, have been pre cipitate, or too confident in themselves, and our Mi nisters in Madrid have been led away by the erro- neous information they have received from them. On many past occasions this unfortunate Revolution might have been happily terminated, if the Govern ment had acted with wisdom, and instead of inflexi ble severity, artifice, deceit, and a constant tenacious ness not to respect the Laws of Nations with the In surgents, they had employed mildness and good faith. Now I fear all remedy is impossible. We know posi tively that Father Torres has strengthened himself very much near St. Luis de Potosi, although the Go vernment published not fttg since his total defeat and death. The Government also published in this Capital of Mexico, that the King's troops had taken the only remaining important post occupied by the Insurgents in this Kingdom ; and that we were con wtquently in a state of tranquillity. Notwithstand ing, the truth is, that we are at present shut up in this expitai, as well as in all the others, without being able to go out of the gates, because the Insurgents occupy ill the neighbourhood in considerable fo.ce." 7VOCVA*tentaa. 14ANKFORT. AUGUST so. ' In die 43d Sittiiig of the Diet, the President gave in a proposition relative to the Matriculation, of which the following is the substance having been resolved, in the fifteenth and nineteenth Sittings, that the population of the several States should be taken as the basis, both of their contingent to the Army of the Confederation, and to the common expenses (ex cept the expenses of the Chancery of the Confedera tion which are otherwise provided for), each Slate has iieen called upon to give in a statement of its po pulation, (for which see the annexed Table.) This official statement having been given in, the President proposes that it shall be taken as the basis for five years provisionally, as originally proposed, and that a Committee be appointed in time to lay down the principles of a definitive matriculation, to be intro duced at the expiration of those five years. The pro position was generally acceded to, the Saxon Am bassador only remarking, that on account of the ex traordinary population of the dominions of his Ma jesty the King of Saxony, the money contingent would be too high, if determined by this basis. RESOLUTION. 1. That the population stated by the Members of the Confe deration is provisionally assumed for the next bre years, as the Matriculation of the Confederation, according to the provision . any existing order of voting in pfrne, with the reserve of an ul terior determination for Ilease-Ilombourg. 9. This Matriculation avails as the rule both for the contin gents of troops and of money, with the sole exception of the ex pentets of the Chancery of the Confederation, which are provi ded for in a different manner. 3. The principles on which the definitive Matriculation to be introduced after five years shall be founded will be reported by a Committee to be appointed for the purpose. The Diet will discuss it before the expiration of the five years, and agree in the final Matriculation by an ulterior Resolution. TABLE.

In another part of our Paper will be found some account of yesterday's proceedings of " the Friends of Radical Reform ° ---." the non-represented inhabi tants of London and Middlesex." The " Declaration of Rights," with its Resolutions, and the " Remon strance," were of a character not fit for the columns of any PAper which has even the smallest respect for propriety or dTcorum. The latter, in particular; contained expressions most grossly insolent to the August Personage to whom it was addressed. It com menced by repeating a great part of the " Declara tion ;" then went on to enumerate what were termed the abuses committed by the advisers of his Royal Highness, and suggested the propriety of having them all impeached ; and concluded by reminding the PRINCE of the fate of CHARLES I. and JAMES 11. which seemed to furnish practical evidence that there were limits to the construction of the " absurd and ridiculous maxim" that the King was not responsible for the acts of his Ministers. Mr. HUNT had "no doubt" that these documents would " appear in the public Papers, with the comments of the hirelings of Ministers." We have no doubt that they will not. The Paris Papers of Saturday, which arrived this forenoon, furnish us with some interesting extracts: PARI S, SEPTEMBER 4. The Prince Augustus of Prussia, who is travelling under the title of Count 111ansfeldt, was presented to day by his Excellency the Prussian Ambassador to the King and Princes. General Donadieu was interrogated on Thursday as a witness in the affair of the prosecution against General Camel. On Tuesday last, at a quarter before ten in the evening, as Colonel Dufay was entering the house in which he resides, No. 7, Rue des Jenneurs, he was attacked at the door, and stabbed with a stiletto in the lower belly. The wound, though an inch broad and two and a half deep, it is said, is not mortal— the Colonel being indebted for his safety to his em bonpoint, and to the thickness of his dress, which di minished the effect of the blow. Two persons who were seen about an hour before arc suspected to be the authors of this odious crime. [Colonel Dufay is the person, it will be recollected, who killed Count St. Morys some time ago in a duel, and who was lately acquitted from an action of slan der which was instituted against him by the widow and daughter of the deceased Count.] A lady of high distinction at the Court of Peters burgh, whose only son is an Officer in the Russian corps of the Army of Occupation, applied to the Em peror Alexander for his leave of absence for a few months; the Emperor replied, that under other cir cumstances he would have granted her request ; but that, as the corps was to return from the French fron tiers in the course of the autumn, any leave of absence which might be given would be of no advantage. sli,/06 EAST INDIES. 71,769 617,769 52,947 37,046 32,454 45,117 53,937 14,500 5,546 35,360 51,877 22,255 52,203 24,000 69,062 20,000 40,650 Total 30,094,030 MADRAS, MARCH 7. The Governor-General proceeded from Launche to Kbunjowlee on the 2d ult. and had his camp esta blished at the latter on the 4th. It is reported that his Lordship will visit Cawnpore and Lucknow, and return about the 10th of this month to Goruckpore, where he intends to reside during the approaching warm season. Accounts from the Army in the field become daily less interesting. The following are the only articles we have deemed worth copying from the last Bengal Journals : " Our letters state, that some Officers of the Pin daree Chiefs, Namdar Khan, and Wassul Mohum mud, had sent in their unreserved submission to the Most Noble Marquis; the rest, who are represented as suffering very great privations, are expected to follow the same course. Cheeton, ie most refractory of the whole tribe, has been chased into a country totally destitute of grain and forage, where he is mo lested by the Wheels, and hemmed in by Sir William Grant Keir ; it is therefore likely he will soon follow Mohummud's example. _ . . _ " Lieutenant Macan, of the 24th Dragoons, has been appointed an Aide-de-Camp to the Governor- General. " Mr. Todd has, we understand, gone into the Pin daree country, in the neighbourhood of R'otah, for the purpose of carrying the arrangements regarding its disposal into effect ; and it is said that a civilian is about to leave the Presidency to settle the territory ceded by the Nagpore Rajah." EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM BURSEAH, JAR 97. " The Pindarees are now in the greatest distress, flying about in small parties during the night, and hiding in the jungles by day. You have seen in the papers accounts of our various wonderful4uccesses; little now remains to be done but the taking of two or three forts, from which opposition may not be made ; but in order the better to insure success, four additional battalions are coming to join us, with a detachment of artillery, and all the battering guns and mortars belonging to the centre division. They are expected to leave the Marquis's camp about the 27th or 28th, and when they approach the points for attack, I conclude we shall go to meet them. " The terms of the Treaty which has been con cluded with the Nagpore Rajah have not transpired, but it appears certain that he is to cede all his terri tories to the north of the Nerbuddah, and it is even said a considerable portion to the southward of that river. We have not leant what has become of the body of Arabs who were permitted to retire unmo lested from the town of Nagpore, but it is not likely that they will refuse, unsupported as they must be, my terms that may be offered to them. Letters from Nerbuddah state, that the Kaladar of Seerinagur had rallied his forces, after his late defeat, and had taken up a strong position, in which he had determined to wait another attack." IiAGUESAU, AUGUST 31. The Duke of Wellington made his entry into our city yesterday, at five o'clock in the afternoon. Early this morning all the Austrian Regiments quitted their cantonments for the vast plain of Marienthal, where the whole were assembled by seven o'clock. About nine Lord Wellington arrived, with General Frimont, and a great number of General Officers, English, Austrian, &e. After passing his Grace's inspection, the troops went through the manoeuvres of a sham fight, which consisted chiefly of an attack on two batteries established in advance of the village of Kaltenhausen. The whole scene was very fine, and was not disturbed by any disagreeable occurrence. After the review the Duke of Wellington set off for Reichsoffen, near Niederbroun, where he proceeds to-morrow morning to the review of the Wirtemberg corps of the army. The Austrian troops have re turned to their cantonments, and will in a few days resume the positions which they occupied previous to the 20th of August, where they will wait the re sult of the deliberations of the Congress of Aiz•la- Chapelle. GOTTINGEN, AUGUST 9.3. The Government Commissioner is stilltere, as also the detachment of hussars. All the measures whiet have been taken have not been able to prevent the Hanoverian Students from indulging in provocations against the small number of foreign Students who persist in attending the lectures. The Government Commissioner has, in consequence, issued a Procla mation, conceived in the following terms; Whereas during the last week some Students, in opposition to the orders which have been published, have made a noise with their feet at the entry of Ft:i reign Students into the Lecture Rooms ; it is hereby intimated, that in the event of such conduct being repeated, as it is next to impossible to discover those who are the instigators, one or mere of the Stit.ients who are here, paying respect to their anterior con duct, shall be without any other. formality proceeded 47,830 48,500 149,800 avainst with every ii;r)ur, 25 guilty of de, University."
