This we think extremely probable. The following are some farther particulars respec ting the intelligence received by the American India tnan General Clarkson, sent into Plymouth by his Majesty's ship HYACINTH. She is laden with a valu able cargo of tea and nankeens, and was bound for Amsterdam : sailed from Canton on the 11th Decem ber last, and was detained the 12th March following, in lat. 7. 30. long. 30. 30. by his Majesty's ship HYA= CINTII, of 18 guns, which ship, after taking out the crew of the American, except the Captain and Mate, jroceeded on her voyage to the Brazils, where she was destined with dispatches for Admiral Sir SYDNEY SMITH. A few days before the General Clarkson sailed from Canton, the Albion, one of the country ships, caught fire in that harbour, and was burnt : she was very richly laden with silks, and had on board near three millions of• dollars, of public and private property—the American ship lay so near her at the time, that she had also nearly taken fire. Before the General Clarkson sailed, the PHATON, of 38 guns, and the BELLONA, of 32 guns, had ar rived at Macoa ; the former with the loss of all her masts, and the latter with four-feet eater in her hold, having experienced very bad weather on their cruize. In passing the strcights of Macoa, she spoke the BOMBAY, of 40 guns, and was informed that Ad miral Sir EDWARD PELLEW was off Batavia, having an intention to attempt the capture or destruction of the Dutch squadron there. JAMAICA MAILB, The Francis Freeling packet, Captain BELL, left 3amaica on the 4th of March ; from whence she has arrived at Falmouth, after a passage of seven weeks. Admiral Sir ALEXANDER COCHRANE'S squa dron, consisting of his Majesty's ships BeLLEtss , r , , of 74 guns, Captain MAUDE ; the RAMILIES, of 74, Captain Plc/ail:slmi YORK, 74, Capt. BARtoN ; CAPTAIN, 74, Captain WOOLLEY ; DEFENCE, 74, Cap tain EKINS ; INTREPID, 64, Captain WORSLEY, and a frigate, were off Martinique on the 20th February, all well. Among the late captures in the West In dies, are two Spanish schooners by the MUROS frigates which had also detained an American, with 1000 barrels of flour. The MELEAGER frigate, Captain BRoucarroN, has taken the Danish sloop Bela ; a small French privateer, and the Spanish schooner Antelope, of six guns, and sixty-three men, laden with wine, brandy, silks, and dry goods, besides 47,000 dollars, from Cadiz to Vera Cruz. The GARLAND frigate has captured a Spanish schooner from Cuba to Porto Rico, with sundries, and recaptured the British schooner Hope. The TOPAZE frigate has carried into Port Royal the American ship Eliza, Buanows, with wine, salt, &c. from Cadiz. The FAVOURITE sloop of war had detained the Ame rican ship Rittenhouse, which having been previously taken by a French privateer, had been condemned, and afterwards permitted to sail for America. The DEDALus frigate had captured a Swedish brig of 18 guns and 57 men, from Port au-Prince to America, after having fired 100 shot at her. A convoy was ap pointed to sail from Jamaica for England on the 20th of April. Several of the scattered ships of the convoy which left Portsmouth on the 18th of December, had arrived at Jamaica. The Spanish 74, San Lorenzo, was lying at the Havannah, with topmasts struck. No accounts of the Rochefort squadron are re ceived by the Jamaica or American packets.—The letters from Jamaica will aot be delivered till to morrow. MAILS nom *lnv YORK AND HALIFAX, • The Prinee Adolphus Paid> whirl arrived at Falmouth on Thursday last, Was Xtventy-eight days from Halifax: theft seemed nts likellhond of the embargo being taken off ; though the distress it hat produced is so great, that no less than seventy-five houses are said to have stopped part:lent in New York alone. The wretchedness consequently spread afriorig all the Commercial orders, and particularly among the lord ranks, may he easily conceived. One gctid effect is produced in the British 'service froin this stagnation : it has redeemed a great nuni' ber of our seamen; who have been dischafged front the American shipping. But an effect still more im portant is, that some of the Northern States have dis cussed the question> whether, in the event of it war with England, they are bound to adhere to the Union, or may declare iti favour of England ! Will Mr. ler- PERSON then, With all his partiality for France, dare to declare in her favour, at the risk of dissolving the Union over which he so feebly presides ? Mr. lion, whose arrival at Lymingtott we announ• ced in our last, reached town on Saturday afternoon. The result of this gendernan's mission has been, It is understood, the adjustment of the difference respecting the Chesapeake, but nothing farther. The embargo is continued, but it is stated that Mr. MADISON, in an interview with Mr. Rom immediately previotts to the latter leaving Washington, declared that that mea sure was not dictated by any sentiment of hostility to wards Great Britain, but was a general measure of precaution, in consequence of the present state of the world, by the barbarous species of war now resorted to in Europe. American papers have been received. The Wash ington Federafut asserts that th negotiation must fail. The Aurora, a violent party paper, and some other journals assert, that the reparation offered by Great Britain, for the attack on the Chesapeake frigate, Would not be received upon the condition said to be required, namely, the repeal of the President's Edict forbidding the entry of British ships of war into the waters of the United States, or any supplies being afforded theta' or any communication held with them. On the other hand, the Congress, it is said, was about to pass a resolution* to enable the President to suspend the operation of the Embargo Att, after their rising, which was expected to be in the course of this month—a proof of returning sentiments of amity. The Federafut states that the sentence oti are BARRON will not be made known till after the departure of the British Mission► Mr. Mouton is about to publish the whole of his correspondence with his Government during his redr dente in London, as Minister to this country. Notwithstanding the severe penalties attached to the violation of the Embargo decree, a number of vessels had sailed in the night from the American ports, with flour and necessaries, for the West-India Islands; where the vessels were sold and the crews dispersed, to avoid the operations of the act ; and, in consequence of these supplies, flour had very little advanced in Jamaica and our other islands.

Every person who has paid any kind of attention to the events that have recently been transacting in Spain must have expected soon to hear of the storm, which has been so long gathering over that miserable coun try, bursting on its devoted victims. By the PELTER gun brig, arrived at Portsmouth,from Gibraltar, Government have received some important accounts from Spain. Soon after the extraordinary events of the 18th of March (already stated in the STAR) the unfortunate King was prevailed upon, or rather compelled, to . abdicate his Throne, which was instantly ascended by his son, the Prince of Asruruas, and the new Monarch was proclaimed by the title of FERDINAND VII. He immediately issued a Procla mation to the People, informing them of his acces sion to the Throne, and assuring them that the army of his Ally the Emperor of France had entered his kingdom, upon principles the most friendly to his interests, and those of the people, the sole object of his good Ally being to guard the ports of Spain against the designs of the English. The French, we understand, had entered Madrid. The PRINCE of Peace, as we have already stated, had fled, and his property had been seized and confiscated. His bro ther, though considered to have been mortally wounded in the affair of the 19th, and stated in some accounts to have been killed on the spot, was not dead at the date of the last accounts, but his reco very was deemed extremely doubtful. Thewmtehed imbecile Prince of AsrumAs, the new King, will be permitted to reign for a short time as the Viceroy of BONAPARTE in Spain, and it is by no means unlikely that he will be compelled to marry the niece of Ma dame BONAPARTE, who is now with her father at Madrid ; but whatever temporary arrangements may take place, the ultimate fate of Spain will be to re ceive a Sovereign from the family Of -BONAPARTS, and become an actual Ers,orince of France. How are the Mighty fallen ! The House of Bour bon, which for so long a period was an unceasing scourge to the other reigning families of Europe. That house, which never scrupled at employing 'the most perfidious and violent means to accomplish its ambitious objects, has itself 'fallen a prey to perfidy and violence .:• NAPOLEON is himself now in Spain. He origi- Itallr pimpled did the King should meet him at Bayonne 1 but this proposal was declined, as was also another for sending the Prince of AsruluAs to meet him at that place. The French Ambassador BEAUHAkNOIS was then Set to work, who by his in trigues succeeded In obtaining the consent of the Prince to the deposition of his father. On this the French army proteeded to penetrate into Spain ; and the plot having been discovered by the Prince of Peace, he advised his unfortunate master to fly from the iron tyranny that awaited him ; but as the secu• rlty of his person was necessary to the completion of 130NAPAhTlell design, his flight was prevented by the conspirators, and he is now, as we predicted he shortly would be, actually a prisoner in his own capital. A i3ourtieattx Paper of the Ist instant, is in town, which contains the whole of the accounts from Ma drid, published in the STAN of the 12th inst. It also contains the Proclamation relative to the abdication of the Throne of Spain, by the unfortunate CHARLES, and the accession of his son, under the title of FER DINAND VII. According to the French Papers, the Prince of Pities was found in a garret in his own house, where he had been secreted thirty-sir hours.= The new King was not at Madrid when the distur bances took place. On his ascending the throne, he determined on the removal of the Swiss Guards, who had theretofore been stationed about the person of, the King : they were to be replaced by others more firmly attached to the present measures. The un happy CHARLES, on abdicating the throne, assigned as a reason " his ill state of health, and the necersity of a change of climate." GOTTENBURGH MAILS. TWb arrived this day, by which we have teceived the following : GOTTENBtiaGH, APRIL is. Yesterday Admiral Sir Samuel Hbod, in the Cell. taus-, with two other vessels, sailed for the Sound.--.- Several more regiments are marching to the frontiers of Norway, and we expect Soon to hear of an attack having been made in that quarter. We have no news from Denmark ; indeed all communication with it is for the present suspended. The banish prisoners taken out of the Prince Christian Frederic, which Was destroyed by his Brim's._ nic Majesty's ships Stately and Nassau, are confined in the store houses of the Swedish East India Cora- pany—the officers are upon their parole. APRIL 150... A traveller has arrived this morning fi-om Lubeck, Which place he left the Ist inst. The . _ vessel he came in cleated out for Elsineur, but made the port of Ystadt, from whence he came hither. On the 21st of March he was at Nien- berg, where the principal part of the vessels are assembled for the embarkation of the French troops for Zealand, and a great number of them were there at that time embarked, but a contrary wind prevented them from sailing for four days, at the end of which time the English frigate, the Quebec, made her ap• pearance, and put an end to their project. He further states that the rtench had 30,000 men in Holstein, and a considerable number were in Jutland. Accounts from Finland are very gloomy ; the Swe dish army is still retreating. Sweaberg is, however, capable of making a good resistance, from its very strong situation, and having a garrison of 7000 men. From the frontiers of Norway we learn, that the Norwegians have cut down the woods, and laid the branches of the trees across the roads, so as to render them impassable, especially for artillery ; but we do not learn that other operations of consequence have yet taken place. General Armfeldt has joined the army there. The British men of war Dictator, Stately, and Nassau, with several smaller vessels, remain here, the Swedish gun-boats are all going to the Sound. STOCKHOLM, APRIL 11. By a courier arrived from Gottenburgh, intelligence has been received, that on the 7th inst. several English ships of war arrived in that port, belonging to the fleet which is destined for the Baltic under the orders of Admiral Saumarsz ; seven transports have also reached that port, laden with a considerable num ber of Musquets, arid very large quantities of warlike stores, according to an agreement concluded between the twe Courts. General Baron Armfeklt has reported to his Royal Majesty from the head-quar ters in Carlstadt, under date of the 7th of this month, that the Swedish patroles are frequently skirmishing with the enemy, but that no action of any consequence has taken place.—Stoeikolm Gazette, of April 11. HELSINGBURG, MARCH £9. _ _ This day arrived here from Denmark a Swede, who was detained there, but at length obtained leave to depart. He states that Bernadotte's head-quarters are at Fredericsberg, near Copenhagen, where, accord ing to account, 40) French troops are encamped, and that he saw there himself several soldiers, who did not appear to be Danes. In the night between the ' 23d and 24th March, a great number of horses were put in requisition in Copenhagen to convey Gene ral Bernadotte and his suite, and escort to Corfor.— The above Gentleman went afterwards to Frederics berg, and found it evacuated by tbe French. According to a general report which prevailed in Copenhagen, the General's departure was occasioned by the disorderly conduct of the French troops in the Isle of Fuhnen, where several acts of jiolence had been committed by them. At Corfor he offered 500 rix-dollars for a boat to take kits to Nyborg, but the seam 6n would not venture out, fle:1 fear of being taken by the English cruizers. The gentleman did not hear that any other Frezci. troops had reached Zealand than the above inentioxJ but the Danish troops were in motion. THE EXPEDITION.

BOTANY BAY.—lmmediately previous to the sail ing of the lately arrived fleet, accounts had reached India from New South Wales, stating that some of the convicts had effected their escape from Botany Bay, and taken refuge in the woods. Shortly after which, it was ascertained that some skirmishes had taken place among the natives, supposed to have been excited by the convicts, all of whom (the convicts) it is added, perished in one of these actions. Saturday letters were received at the Post Office from Demerara and Surinam, the latter to the 2d of March—the report which reached us in the early part of the week, of a serious insurrection having . broke out in the 4th West India regiment, is not noticed in these letters, and we are hence led to hope that the statement is unfounded. Saturday a bag of letters was received at the Post. Office from Charleston, with accounts to the middle of March :—We have seen some of the -Charleston papers, but excepting . a few naval articles, they offer nothing worth extracting. SANDWICH ELECTION. —Saturday, April 23, the poll was finally closed, and Captain RAINIER declared duly elected. Colonel MATTHEW is arrived with a petition from the county of Tipperary, in favour of Catholic eman cipation, signed by 15,440 freeholders possessing lan ded property to the amount of £540,000 per annum. At this period of the year it is very uncommon to experience such severity and change of weather as has been in the last week on Wednesday the snow lay eighteen inches deep on Broomsgrove Leeky, and in Yorkshire near three feet. At Edinburgh, on Mon day afternoon and Tuesday morning a heavy fall of snow covered the ground to a depth of several inches. So great was the fall in other parts of Scotland, that the mail was obliged to be taken from the coach near Montrose, and conveyed cn horseback. Saturday a man named Ramsden, for a wager of five guineas, undertook to walk from Shoreditch Church to Ponder's-end, and back, a distance of 17 miles, in two hours; and performed the journey in eight minutes within the time.
