A long statement has been issued by the Spanish Ambassador, on the differences subsisting between his master and the Government of the United States. It is circulated in all parts, and he appears to be as abusive of the Republic as the American journals are of the Spanish Authorities. In the in troductory paragraph, we read as follows : " These differences could not have arisen, nor could they have existed, until the present period if there had been a rul disposition to proceed upon the principles of good faith, reason, and justice." -He insists on it that the expedition of MIRANDA was committed by the Go vernment of the United States, and that it took ad. v Intage of the weakness of Spain, during her con test with BONAPARTE, to favour that expedition and others against the Spanish dominions, and has conti nued to do so up to the present time; and that the United States have afforded an asylum to privateers, which ruined the commerce of Spain ; and that the PRESIDENT, to all complaints of FERDINAND 011 that head, had made use of equivocal protestations.— These facts, the Ambassador insists, are notorious to all the world. This publication, by an obtrusive foreign agent, h Is very much irritated the Americans ; and it is con sidered to be very degrading by the Republican edi tr:rs, that a Nation, calling itself free and indepen elnit, should be treated in this cavalier manner. The subject was brought under the notice of the House of Representatives by Mr. Foasvut, on the T. , ;th February. Adverting to the documents com municated to the House by the Executive, from time to ime, on the subject of the negotiations with the tnish Government, he observed, it would be seen by these documents, that attempts had been made by negotiations at Madrid, and with the Spanish Mi nister in America, to bring the matter in dispute with that Government to a final settlement, but that it had always been evaded by the Spanish Governflent. The House had been informed by the President, that a negotiation was then pending in Washington, and it was very important, Mr. F. thought, the House should be informed of the result, or the state of that negotiation. For his own part, Mr. F. Said, he was perfectly tired of negotiating on our differences with Spain—there had been ample time for each Govern ment to know its determination on the subject. Mr. F. then submitted the following Resolution, which was agreed . to without opposition, and a Committee appointed to communicate it to the President : " Resolved—That the President of the United tates be, and tr is hereby requested, if in his opinion it is not inconsistent with tte public ',laciest, to by before this House so much of the cor respondence with the Government of Spain as will enable Con gress to judge what ground there is for expecting an amicable and speedy adjustment of the differences between that Govern atc:nt and the United States." From the following extract, it would seem as if the Independents of the South had proceeded the length of declaring the whole of the Spanish Main in a state of blockade. Such a measure we should suppose to be a great deal too hazardous for esta blishments as yet but in their infancy, and at best but feebly organized CURACOA, FEBRUARY' 14. The schooner Mary, Miners master, under Danish colours, from St. Croix, for Puerto Cabello, was cap tured a few days ago, in sight of her port of destina tion, by an Independent privateer, commanded by a Frenchman, supposed to be the Rita. The same pri vateer oveihanled the schooner Admiral Kilkert on Monday last, in sight of this port, and put six of the Mary's men on board of her; who were landed the same day a little to leeward of Caraccas Bay. The Mary was ordered for Margaretta, the Master and two of her hands remaining on board. The Captain of the privateer declared that he would capture every vessel he fell in with bound to the Spanish under any flag whatever. He also stated, that there was a fleet, consisting of four teen sail, besides several gun-boats, lying at Guira, having orders to put in force the order of blockade isiued some time ago, and that the Main was to be blockaded by these vessels. The privateer's men plundered the seamen of the Mary of every thing they possessed, leaving them only the clothes they had on at the time of the capture. The Caraccas Gazette contains an account of a Junta, held the 16th ultimo, by the principal Audio rities-of Venezuela, for the purpose of laying taxes on horses, in order, with the funds accruing there trom, to procure a respectable cavalry for the army; from which circumstance we may fairly deduce an axiom, that the Royalists have of late been gravitated down by some moving body from the zenith of their opulence, and that the 9000 horses, which not long since had been taken from the Independents, became disloyal to the cause, and ran away from the field. The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived last night, and those of Monday this morning. The following are extracts: PARIS, MARCH 28. His Excellency the Duke of Richelieu, Minister of Foreign Affairs, had an interview with his Majesty at one o:clock, and went immediately after to the Hotel of the Duke of Wellington. The Duke of Wellington is to give a grand Ball on Thursday, the 2d of April. It is confidently as serted, that his Grace will set out the following day for London. The strictest search is made to discover the causes of the fire at the burning of the Odeon. A great number of persons have, we are assured, been arres ted already. The Moniteur contains a Royal Ordinance, de creeing that from the Ist of June next the sale of gunpowder shall be exclusively carried on under the management of the Directors-General of indirect contributions. _ _ French 5 per cent. consols left off on Saturday at 65 fr. 90 c. VIENNA, MARCH Is. . _ We learn from Pest, that at the Fair there, which concluded last week, there was very little business done. There was an imlnense quantity of goods, but very few purchasers. Fine cloths have not been so low in price for twenty years past. A Mail from Hamburgh and another from Flan• ders arrived this morning, from the Papers brought by which we subjoin some extracts : HAMBURGH, MARCH 26. We have received the following letter from Algiers by way of Marseilles : " ALGIERS, FEBRUARY 25. " The state of things here become worse and more dreadful every day. The plague continues to rage in a terrible manner. This distemper, of which above 50 persons die daily in the city, hits in Feneral only 24 hours, without any previous indisposition ; with out having felt any symptoms of the disease, other persons frequently fall victims of death from the in fected air and the use of unwholesome food. " The plague rages slso in the neighbourhood of Algiers, and farther in the interior of the country.— To this we may add a mortality among the cattle. Besides these dreadful ravages we have other suffer ings. His Highness the Dey causes daily, and with out respect to persons, people to be arrested, executed or banished, and graciously seizes on thcir property. —Every body is so terrified here, that people pretty openly express the wish that some foreign squadron would make its appearance, and some Christian Power or other make itself masters of this State of Pirates.—Of the Militia, the third part is killed, ba nished, or has deserted. Great discontent prevails among the remainder. The Dey, however, increases the number of his body guard by blacks, and has planted before his Castle a strong line of 24-poun• ders, which command the City. " Saveral magnificent buildings are erecting for the Dey and his family. In the midst of the general misery, his Highness frequently amuses himself with balls, and causes the neighbourhood of his palace to resound with music. The unhappy inhabitants, par rticularly the rich Jews, have been obliged to pay a contribution of 100,000 piastres and twelve of the , most beautiful girls ; of the latter some have, how . - ever, ransomed themselves for different sums, from 4,000 to 8,000 piastres. " The squadron of Corsairs which was out lately on a cruize, lies still dismantled in the harbour. " Some of the principal Arabian tribes in the inte rior of the country, are in a state of insurrection, and it is likely that others will follow their example, as the Algerine Government is in want of means to reduce them to obedience. May the insurrection ex tend hither !" BRUSSELS, MARCH 27. Yesterday morning the Correctional Tribunal de cided in the action for calumny brought against the Editor and the Printer of the English Journal called the Cosmopolite. By this sentence the Printer is de clared not responsible: the Editor is condemned to one month's imprisonment, to a fine of 1000 florins, and 1000 florins damages. FRANKFORT, MARCH SM. The Castle of Engers, the residence of Prince Har denberg, seems to be the diplomatic head-quarters, from the number of Couriers and expresses that arc continually arriving there. It is thought that his la- bours for the organization of the Grand Duchy cf the Rhine, are nearly terminated. It is affirmed that the Duke of Nassau, who unites in his own hands the pos:essicms of the ancient branches of Usingen, Wels burg, Deltemburg, Orange, &c. will be raised to the dignity of Grand Duke, because the extent of his possessions, and their population are more consider ' able than thole of the power of Hesse, and nearly equal to those of Baden. STUTTGARD, MARCH 10. The differences between the king and his brother Prince Paul are said to be wholly adjusted, and the Prince is expected shortly from Paris. BRUSSELS, MARCH 29. Messrs. Roguernet and Favre, two Frenchmen, were arrested the day before yesterday in this City. The first was the Chief of the Imperial Manufactory of Tobacco at the time that the Allied Tv ops enter ed this City. Yesterday dispatches were received at the India , House, by an overland express, ria Constantinople. , We need hardly state, what must be well known to the greater part of our Readel, that the Company's dispatches are always, in the strictest sense of the word, Secret. The Directors have no power—nay, are bound to conceal the contents ; nor can any but the Board of Controul give them publicity. It is not surprising, therefore, that nothing farther than a few surmises have yet got circulation respecting the con tents of these dispatches. It is known that the PETSHWA, one of the Mali ratta Chiefs, was engaged in hostilities against the Company; and that another battle was fought on the sth of November, in which the PEtsusva's force was defeated, but not destroyed ; that another battle took place on the 17th of November, in which, ac ' cording to the accounts that were suffered to trans pire, he was completely routed, and in consequence had fled to one of his strong forts, abandoning Poo nah to its fate, which fell into our hands. By the same accounts it was stated, that a Treaty had been concluded with SCHINDIA, by which he agreed to permit the Company's troops to pass through his do minions, for the purpose of military operations against the Pindarees. The latter circumstance has since been called a de taching of SCHINDIA from the Confederacy supposed to have been secretly formed among the Native Powers, and in consequence some have supposed that this statement rested on new information received from India ; but the fact is otherwise, the statement hav ing been put in circulation on Tuesday, whereas the new Dispatches , did not reach the India House till yesterday morning. These Dispatches, we understand, go far to confirm the previous suspicion that a Confederacy of some extent has been formed among the Native Powers against the Company. The RAJAH of BERAR has, it is said, taken up arms against the subsidiary force established on his dominions—that is, in plain terms. he has declared war against the Company ; and the inference of many who are acquainted with the po litics of India is, that the RAJAH, though his state is powerful, would not have ventured on such a step without previous concert with &Hamm, lIOLICAR, and the PEISHWA. The latter, though defeated on the Sth and 12th of November, had, it appears, been still able to carry on the war ; and, if we are rightly informed, had another action with our troops on the 12th of December, but the particulars'have not been suffered to transpire.— We have not even heard it whispered on which side victory de , -lured itself, but if we may credit what has reached us, a very distinguished British Officer (we believe Colonel SMITII) was wounded in the action. As to the final result of any war with the Native Powers, in the present state of India, and while the same wisdom that has for some years directed the anis of that vast empire shall continue to guide its councils, but little apprehension need be entertained. War, however, is at all times to be deplored, and al ways brings in its train many evils and an expense highly prejudicial to the concerns of a Mercantile ICompany. Yesterday tl:e I', (NCH REGENT was better than he was on Tuesday, and gave audiences to Viscount CASTLEREAGH, Viscount SI DMOUTH, and the Earl of LivertpooL. Ills Royal Highness received visits from the l)ukcs of CUMBERLAND, GLOUCESTER, and KENT, the Prince of HESSE HOMBERG, and the Princesses AUGUSTA and ELIZABETH. The Princesses remained with their Royal Brother near two hours. Yesterday afternoon her INIAJEsTy, and the Prin cesses AUGUSTA and ELIZABETH, received a visit from the Prince of Ilessa HOMBERG. His Serene Highness rode out on horseback, attended by Baron ONAGHTEN. His Serene Highness received visits at his residence, in St. James's Palace, from the Dukes Of CLARENCE and GLOUCESTER, Viscount TORRING TON, and Baron HARDENBROKE. In the evening his Serene Highness had a dinner party : among the cum pany were the Prince ESTERHAZY and suite, Lord STEWART, MeSSTS. KEAN and GUERIN, the two Ger man Noblemen lately arrived in London. The Princess ELIZABETH has not yet discharged. any of her attendants. It is true they have received notice to quit her Royal Highness's service, but they are all to receive twelve months' wages, in addition to what is due to them. Some of them are engaged by the Duke of CLARENCE, and her Royal Highness is most humanely exerting herself to get them all into employments previous to her leaving England. Some of them will accompany her abroad. Her Royal Highness's wedding dresses are all ef English manufacture.. NI PAL INTELLICE.VCE. PE:77ANCE, MARCH 29.

The visitors.;..-* ever, were disappointed ; a sharp wind, which bier from the north-easr, rendered it not desirable f r a r large vessel to drop down the river, during a te4 tide, and the sailing of the vessels was, theca, postponed to another day.
