- 'S FACCINATJON. ISSPittec 30. Great uneaitftb ex iteeby an article in a Berlin Paper of the Slit of March this Tear, relative to the insufficiency of the vaccine as a preventive of the small-pot. Two philanthropic and justly celebrated Physicians, Dr. Brenner of Berlin, and Dr. Julius of Hamburgh, have pleaded the cause of the vaccine, which is that of humanity. Both these excellent men. have lately had sufficient opportunities to confirm the good opinion they have always entertained, and to ga ther additional experience of its salutary effects, and have both published their opinions in a Supplement to the same Paper Poss's Courant) APRIL 22.—The small-pox has again made its 'ap pearance in some other streets in Berlin, and already penetrated to the centre of the City. The Board of Police has published new exhortations to precaution, and ordered various measures; one of these commands the owners of houses to let them to such persons only as have been secured by vaccination against the small pox.—Dutch Paper.

The letters from Math id of the 26th ultimo speak o! a body of 56,000 men in Spain, part of whom are to be employed in attemptitv the reconquest of the Ameri• can possessions; but as money is wanting, it is said that an application will be made to the Philippine COM. parry, Mild) has money in its coffers. A change of Mi nisters has been much talked of, but does not seem pro bable, the peseta being supported by M. Ugarte. the favourite, who has unlimited influence with the King. The partizans or the late system continue to be treated with severity. The ancient Con egi iors ofMadrid,who are in prison, have been informed that they will not be re leased unless they reimburse the sums they bad in their hands ; but as it is known that they employed them in ' 1 the service of the Constitution, they cannot repay them, and may expect their imprisonment to be perpetual. Letters from Toledo announce the departure of their, Majesties, and that the Royal Vantily would be at Madrid by the 15th of June, after visiting the I....icurial and the baths of Sacedon. The Trench Ambassador was going to set out for Paris, to deknd hinisellagainst General nourmont, with whom he has ditfot ed tat several points relative to the policy of the Spanish Go vernment. Should the revolt.; of a change of Mi nistry really prove true in the end, it is presumed that the new Ministry woull be composed as foaows The Duke of San Carlo-, Foreien A ffairr.

Thirty of the principal pet suns at Vittoii.i have beer. arrested. The first column of the troops going to reinforce the :nmy in Spain, will pass through here on the Ith. There his been an affray attended with bloodshed at Oi thes, between the soldiers and the citiz:ns. The French Papers of Fiiday have leached us. They contain a paragraph confirming the intelligence we gave about ten days ago, that an expedition was fitting ont at Lisbon for South America. The following are extracts:— rmus, MAY Letters from Lisbon, of the 31111 of Arril, say— " The expedition to Brazil is decreed : it will consist of 9,000 men : the Commander-in Chief' will be Bernardo de Silveira; the second in command, .1. Carlos de Sal danha. The troops lave orders to be ready to depart within a fortnight at the latest." MADRID, APRIL 30. The Baron d'Lroles has been proposed for the Em bassy at London. Ilis Majesty will not deprive himself of his services here, and positively declared his resolution to the Count d'Ofalia, when he spoke to him of it. Five millions of the loan of Guebhard have arrived here, which has been deposited by the King's order in the Bank of St. Charles. Persons who are well ac quainted with the Ministers, affirm that this sum will not be touched, being destined for the expenses of an expedition preparing at Cadiz for South America. This expedition is to consist of three frigates, with 2,500 troops ; and a Commissioner is gone to Cadiz to hasten the equipment. The King Returned to Aranjuez the evening before ' yesterday: only two Ministers are with him: the others have returned to Madrid, as well as M. Ugarte, Secre tary of the Council of State. The French troops that were.with his Majesty have resumed their cantonments on the two banks of the Tagus: these troops are the 15th and 22d of the line, two battalions of the Swiss Guard, the 12th and 13th of Cavalry, and 130 Gardes du Corps, who will be reinforced by 130 others who had remained at Madrid, and who will set out to-day for Aranjuez.—The persons confined at Roa have been in part liberated—the others are to be sent to the prisons of Valladolid. Among the latter is the Empecinado, who was falsely said to have been massacred. FRENCH Irtmns, nut's, 111 Ar 7.—Five per Cents. opened at 107 d. 80c. clo3ed at Iosf. 70c. This morning we received a file of United States Pa pers. The following extracts are from the New York Gazette of the 16th April. IN SENATE, APRIL 14. Mr. Macon said, he thought it was quite time that Congress should belooking towards the time of adjourn ment; and with a view to bring the subject before the Senate, he offered a joint resolution, authorizing the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the !louse of Representatives, to adjourn the present Session of Congress on the 4th day of May next : the Resolution • was read, and laid over for colsideration. Mr. Lloyd submitted the following rc,olution, which was read, and stood over for consideration : Itesolyed,—That the President of the United States be requested to cause to be communicated to the Senate so much of the correspondence of the Minister of the United States at the Court of Lisbon with the G•:vero went of POrtllgal,lts has reference to the commeiciai relations between the two count, ; together with such other information connected therewith as may be in possession of the Government, and s% hich, in his opi nion, may, without injury to the public interest, be made known." FROM PA RA .—We learn by the schooner Dart, which sailed horn Para on the 10th of March, that every thing was in an unsettled state ; the Camuta Insurgent. had possession of the Eland of Maraja and other small Islands. A snip had been sent to 1.is!:)on full of pa,.sen gers ; several vessels had been sent to Cayenne, with passengers and property. A French schooner had ar rived at Pala, for the purpose of protecting French pro perty. The Government Wai actively engaged in pre paring to defend the town ; and the four gun-boats there had defeated a party of Insurgents, and t ,, att two of their flags. The place was badly supplied with arms. Two vessels from Sierra Leone arrived at LiverporA on Thursday cveaing ; but neither of them bring any confirmation of the disastrous intelligence or the affair it Accra. One of the vessels arrived is the British Tar, Captain NEWBY—sailed on the I2,th March, and had not heard a word relative to the battle: the other the Britannia, Captain FutaiEsTrit, sailed on the Pith of March, and had heard nothing. Captain FuLnt I I'ER is of opinion that the story is altogether strange, as, from What he had heard, the Ashantees had been for some time wishing to cultivate friendly commercial relations with the English, and they only objected to the media tion of the Fantces. Letters by a Leeward Island Mail to the I Ith of April have been teceived in Glasgow. The packet made an uncommon quick passage out and home, hav ing only left Falmouth on the 23d of February. She brings no news of importance. All the Colonies were anxiously waiting the result of their petitions and corn. munications to the Government of the mother country. The weather in the Windward Islands was very wet, and in the Leeward Elands exceedingly dry ;both extrernaly ptejudicial to the crops at this season of the year.

Letters from Christiania mention the death of a man who was remarkable in his way. This was Hans Nielsen Hauze, who," says the Danish Literary Lexicon," appealed in 1745, as a fana- tical teacher and popular preacher. He published several books, some of which had an extraordinary run, having gone through several editions (some of them six) : each of two or 9000 copies. He had such influence . among the common people, that the poorest subscribed towards the expense of Fitting the first editions, and those who had no money gave tags towards the paper. In 1804 he was. arrested, and his writings confiscated. He was in good cis cumstances." Letters from Cephalonia, of the 18th of November, mention that Lord BYRON was still in that island, not having fixed on the part of Greece to which he should transfer himself. He had engaged a handsome residence, in a retired spot, about two miles from Argostoli.

Sta—l have to communicate to you the loss of the brigantile Helen, of and from Dundee, bound to Quebec and 'Montreal, with a general cargo, which occurred on the morning of the 19th instant, about 20U miles west of Sr. Kilda Island: she struck on a rook under water on the morning of the lath inst.

The crew and passengers continued at the pumps for 13 hcurs, but being over come with fatigue, were necessitated to endeavour to abandon the vessel, as the leak was rapidly gaining on them, the water at that period being within three feet of the hold beams. When lowering the long-boat, she unfortunately was stove in pieces against the ves sel, with a tremendous sea. The crew at that period, twelve in number, embarked in two small boats, with one passenger, and shortly after leaving the vessel she sunk, when sixteen of the passengers on board the Helen perished : among the number w a Miss Webster, front Dundee, with six women, three men, and sl children.
