FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. 21 0 0 10 2 0 HAMBURGH, APRIL 10. It is reported, that the three Hanse Towns are in future to provide for the pay, clothing, and subsis tence of two regiments of cavalry, and four of in fantry. One of the French regiments in garrison here march ed off on Sunday morning. A battalion took the same route on Monday, and another battalion follow ed this day. All merchandize imported direct from America to Stettin, whatever be its ulterior destination, is, by an order which takes effect from the Ist inst. subject to the entire duty upon consumption. This duty is, upon coffee, 14. rix-dollars per quintal ; upon refined sugar and tobacco, 12 dollars ; indigo, eight ; pepper, two ; pimento, three ; dye-stuffs, eight ; and upon cottons, hides, cerusse, and potteries, three per cent. ad va lorem. The Military Office at Wismar received, on the sth instant, an imperial French Rescript of the fol lowing tenor : 4 , The Treaty of Peace concluded between France and Sweden, and which also extends to the countries forming part of the Confederation of the Rhine, hav ing been ratified and officially promulgated, the com merce of the vessels of Mecklenburgh, and the en trance of Swedish vessels into the ports &that Duchy are free, by virtue of the said Treaty. Nevertheless, until definitive measures are taken by the Emperor upon this subject, it is ordered that the said com merce shall only be conducted in conformity to the previous regulations and prohibitions ; and more par ticularly with regard to the importations, that the cer tificates of the authorities of the country shall be suf ficient as to Swedish products, properly so denomina ted ; but that with respect to all other merchandise, not being the produce or manufacture of Sweden, imported from the ports of that kingdom into those of Mecklenburgh, and more espeially colonial goods, they must be accompanied, under penalty of confisca tion, with regular certificates of origin, which will be furnished by the French Consuls resident in Swed-.n, in order to ascertain that they are neither English: property, nor the produce of England or her colonies. The military authorities will conform themselves to these regulations ; and with regard to the commerce of Sweden, exercise a degree of vigilance more than ordinarily rigorous, inasmuch as a considerable quan tity of colonial merchandize has heretofore been accu mulated in that kingdom. The Military Office, therefore, to avoid the risk of any responsibility, must exercise the greatest strictness in the examination of vessels, in concert with the officers specially charged with that service." The month of March has passed without any set tlement of the relations of the United States with the Cnn-inent of Europe, or England. American vessels are still admitted into the ports of Holstein ; but in consequence of the measures recently adopted, their cargoes can no longer be transported into these coun tries. .American vessels also arrive in the ports of Russia and Prussia*; hut undoubtedly, from the length of the voyage, those that visit that quarter will not be very numerous. In consequence of the rigorous means taken to pre vent contraband traffic, sugars, dye-stuff, indigo, and cottons, are greatly in demand. Our contingent which lately returned from Swedish Pomerania, is at present partly stationed along the ccast, and partly quartered here, as a reinforcement to our garrison. The whole extent of coast, from the heath of Ribnitz to Dassau, that is, from the frontiers of Pomerania to the territory of Lubeck, is occupied by strong parties of infantry, forming an uninterrupt co line ot troops, which is supported by cavalry. Tire guarding of the coasts, and particularly the prevention of smugglers, are now attended to with redoubled vigilance. Several sloops, which formerly usgcl to slip in singly under cover of night,. and land *heir cargoes in unfrequented creeks, have lately been in some instances seised, and in others compelled by the fire of :he military posts to put out to sea again. The Military Office in this port, and that at Wismar, form a centre of communication for the troops that lire the coast, and take care that the Officers of the Customs search every vessel that arrives or departs. In .very instance, before the vessels are suffered to break bulk, the certificates of origin must be examined and passed by the French Consuls. B) these various regulations, the importation of the smallest article of contrabind goods is rendered almost impossible. ...... .....—... -.......- --... .

Cons. for acc. 70i Yesterday we received Dutch papers to the 27th instant, containing Paris papers to the 23d instant. They present the following ACCOUNT OF THE LAST SITTING OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODY, Whi.:h terminated with an official address from a Counsellor of State, in which some interesting allu- 1 sions were made to the war with England, and the relations of France with the rest of Europe. On the 21st, Count de MONTESQUIEU being President of the Assembly, Count REGNAULT. Councillor of State, delivered the speech for closing the Session, of which the following are the principal passages: " Gentlemen—The labours of your double Session, the events which have preceded and accompanied it, will leave to the nation great recollections and high hopes. The Civil and Financial Legislation has, during ten years, advanced by an uninterrupted pro gress towards perfecting the principles and complet- ing the system of the former, astd alleviating the weight of the contributions imposed by the latter.— The internal organization is ameliorated ; industry has followed in the course of former success. The plans for all the great public labours and the means for their execution have been decreed—great political views have extended, with wisdom and moderation, and always with advantage, the limits of the empire. The Continental Peace, which before rested only on treaties, and the perpetuity of the dynasty, which had for its foundation only the genius of a hero, and the power of a great nation, have now for their basis a prosperous, holy, august, and eternal alliance. , t Such, Gentlemen, is the picture which you have to exhibit to the inhabitants of your provinces, and of which I have only to recal to your memory the prin cipal features ; your hearts guarantee its fidelity." The Councillor of State then proceeded to enume rate the laws passed during the Session, and took a view of the interior administration of the empire.— Passing next to the state of the Foreign relations of France, he expresses himself thus : 44 You have witnessed, Gentlemen, the Senatus Consultum which unites to the French Empire the City of Rome, the ancient patrimony of the Cusars ant of Charlemagne. This act of the Constitutions of the Empire, indicated by History, counselled by Policy, and decreed by Genius, joins parts of the Western Empire which have long been separated, and establishes an alliance between the Tiber and the Seine—between Paris and Rome. Finally, this act respecting the authority, always sacred, of the Church, and preparing the true glory of Religion, secures the independence of Thrones, and the respect of Sove. Ireigns. gg A new Department will be formed, under the name of the Department des Bunches du Rhin, and the remainder of the ceded territory will be united to the Department of the Deux Neches, which will thus be rendered one of the most considerable, most impor tant, and most wealthy of the empire. —Meanwhile, the Confede: ation of the Rhine has its consideration increased, its power confirmed, and the ties which unite its members drawn closer. 46 If the war still growls in those regions, the perni cious power of reaching which the English yet retain• it is either at such a distance on the frontiers of the Ottoman Empire, that Europe cannot long suffer from it, and Asia alone is menaced (unless the Divan return to better principles), or for but a short pe riod beyond the Pyrenees, until the ports of Spain shall be open to our art::s and closed to England.— ' From that moment the peace of Eu. ope may be re garded as secured by the sanctity of treaties, die ex tent of power, the conformity of interests, and the su periority of genius. 46 You have seen an august Messenger of Peace, a sacred pledge of eternal alliance, arrive in the heart of France, which has thereby been intoxicated with joy, and transported with love. It has been your des tiny to be witnesses of the solemn bonds which will for ever unite Napoleon and Maria Louisa, and have at the same time united the interest of France and the interests of Austria, for the happiness of the two nations and the tranquillity of the world. All the allied nations bless an event which completer. the esta blishment of their power, and cements the t ies which unite them. Enlightened policy, and consoled huma nity, give it equal applause; the reason of. Europe sanctions it, but it belongs in particular to France to feel all its value." Count Regnault having concluded, descended from the Tribune amidst loud plaudits. The President replied to him. On Saturday we laid before ow. Readers lists of the various articles allowed to be exported from Hol land, and imported into the same country, in conse quence of new regulations issued by the Dutch Go- THE ARMY. vernment. There were two errors in the list of exports—for olive seeds, read oil seeds; for pepper-, read palter. A private letter froni Holland, which we have seen, after mentioning that the Dutch Government has resolved to grant licences for these Exports and Imports, says,— ,, If your Government shall discover a similar disposition, we hope soon to see, at least, a partial renewal of the intercourse between the two I countries." The following are to he the quarters of the Army in North Britain, for the summer : TOWNS. excnetsrs. Edinburgh Castle - 116th Regiment, (ati Stirling Militia. We believe we can now assure our Readers, upon unquestionable authority, that a very material change has taken place in the Administration of the Govern ment. Marquis WELLESLEY will certainly kiss hands the day after to-morrow, as First Lord of the Treasury, and Mr. PERCEVAL as Lord High Chancellor. Mr. YonKE's patent is already made out as First Lord of the Admiralty, and Lord MULGRAVE removes to the Master-Generalship of the Ordnance. We have not yet heard the names of the Gentlemen who ate ap pointed to succeed Marquis WELLESLEY In the Secre taryship of Foreign Affairs, and Mr. PERCEVAL in the Lower House, in the Chancellorship of the Exchequer. But these facts we hope to be able to ascertain to morrow. On the above statement, however, as far as it goes, our Readers may confidently rely. • Dumfries ditto. Muuelburgh ...—....... Lanark ditto.

The prisoners on Chittledroog detachment, to abide the event of a board the pontoons experienced great severity from the Spaniards, who visited on these unfortunate cap- i tives the crimes of their countrymen. They were dying in great numbers from famine and disease.— About 600 of them, all mariners, had been shipped on board the English transports, and the remainder, to the number of about 5000, were to be conveyed to this country. Letters from Lisbon attribute the inactivity and re trograde movements of the French to a total scarcity of provisions. They also mention that REGNIER, after having been compelled to abandon his position on the Guadiana, effected a junction with part of the two corps under the command of MORTIER at Daymel.— It would appear from this movement, that the enemy were under apprehensions for the security of their com munication with the capital. Some of the light troops belonging to BALLASTEROSIS army are s.tid to have passed over to the left bank of the Guadalquivir on the 3d, and to have intercepted a convoy of stores that was proceeding from Seville to Carmona. The French were assembling in force at Jaen, for the pur pose, as it appeared from intercepted dispatches, of recovering their footing in Estlemadura. KENSINGTON GARDENS.--The Promenade of this delightful spot, yesterday, for the first time this sea son, presented a scene of splendour which has scarcely ever been witnessed at so early a period of the year. The display of beauty and fashion, to which the un common fineness of the weather was peculiarly pro pitious, equalled any thing that has ever been observed in the middle of May ; and the general appearance of the gardens was calculated more to impress on the mind the arrival of the month of June, than the pre sence of the fickle month of April. The walk in Hyde Park was completely deserted, and the throng, as customary in the summer months, shaped their course along the bank of the Serpentine River, in order to avoid the dust, which flew in suf focating clouds from the ride. Amongst every class of females summer dresses were adopted, and not a vestige of the winter costume remained. Cloaks of white, pink, pale green, lilac, violet, and straw-coloured satins trimmed with lace, were extremely prevalent, as were mull muslins and sarsnet pelisses, of similar hues, in the absence of which silken scarfs of pink and azure were much worn. Dresses of gossamer and figured muslins, and white satin hats and bonnets, with feathers of diferent colours, were also very numerous. The Beaux in many instances assumed nankeen and India dimity trowsers ; but this was not the most pro minent feature of dress, boots and pantaloons being as yet generally worn. A very numerous muster of the " Four in Hand Club" added considerably to the effect, and furnished altogether an assemblage, the appearance of which was highly gratifying. Among the celebrated whip:, we noticed, for the first time, Sir JOHN ROGERS, and Captain AGAR. Lord HAWKE, Mr. Buxton, and Captain AGAR took the lead. In the drive we like wise observed the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES, the PERSIAN ADISASSADOR ; the Duchesses of MONTROSE, SOMERSET and LEEDS; and the Marchioness of WIN CHESTER, the latter far the first time this year. The Ladies CARLISLE, NELSON, LIMERICK, PERRY, BERES.. FORD, S. BURGESS, and TYLNEY LONG, exhibited the newest equipages; the whole weropainted of a bright yellow colour. Mr. R. F. GUY is appointed Parser to the L01a" . .. in the room of Mr. SHEA, who is appointed to the Tilt/NDZSIER. By the Zephyr, of London, Captain 111‘Vattast, arrived at Plymouth from Martinique, we learn that the ship Caledonia, —, from Liverpool, arrved at St. Pierre on the 19th March ; the ships Atalanta and Lustre from London; and the. Hussaten, M , FAstuttcr, from Port Glasgow, on the 91st ditto. The ships Penelope and Christopher, of London; and Neptune, of Yarmouth, were loading for London at the departure of the Zephyr, and were expected to sail for England in the first week of April. The homeward= bound convoy was to touch at St. Pierre on the l•ith April, in order that those in St. Pierre might join them. The Zephyr is one of the fastest sailing vessels in the merchant service, and had a re markably quick run out and home. FARTHER ACCOUNTS OF JEFFERY.—In contradiction to the report from Plymouth, of the death of Jeffery, the seaman left on the island of Sombrero, by Captain Lake, it gives us pleasure to state the following par ticulars, communicated to us by William Watt, who was on board the Recruit at the time Jeffery was put ashore on the island : On or about the 11 ti, or 12th of January, 1809, Mr. Watt, who had been sent into Barbadoes, with the Mary Ann prize, captured by the Recruit, saw and spoke with Jeffery, in the house of one Mrs. Newton, (a widow woman) who keeps a small grog-shop there. He then appeared in 2 very bad state of health ; and shewed Mr. Watt his arms, of which (as stated in the Plymouth account) the un fortunate man declared he had been compelled to eat, having been ten or twelve days on the island without sustenance. After the usage Jeffery had experienced. he expressed his resolution of never returning to Bri tain, and at the time Mr. Watt saw him, he spoke of going to Philadelphia.—Dundee Mercury. The following letter we copy from the Cornwall Gazette of Saturday, the 28th instant. Fowev, Arm 27.—" Dear Sir, in consequence of your let : ter. I have had a convention wit h Mtn Line (sister to Nathaniel Jeffery's father) who informs me that her nephew Nathaniel Jeffery, a native of Lowey, being on board the Recruit sloop of war, commanded by Captain Lake; at a time when the people wanted water in the West Indies, Jeffery got at and drank some spruce beer belonging to the Captain, for which he was to suffer punishment. Mr. Richard Mould (also a native of Fewey.) cond Lientenant, was ordered by the Captain to put Jeffery on shore. The Lieutenant remonstrated; but could nut prevail on the Captain to adopt any other nulde of punishment. Some of the boat's crew had a few biscuits and a piece of beef. Jeffery, when in the boat rowing on shore, desired them to drown him, but they could not, and must obey the Captain's order. When the boat was on share he clung to the boat. At last, the nun forced him on the barren rock. They gave him the biscuit and the beef. Lieutenant Mould would have given him money; but he replied, it was of no use to him :he then gave him the boat-hook and staff, and three handkerchiefs, to hoist as signals; after which th.y left him. This was related to he r by -- Libby and --- Johns, two seamen of Polperro, then belonging to the ship (soon after they were dicharged), but these men will not say anything about it now, as this woman says. She heart: Lientenant Mould say, that on their arrival in England (Captain Lake and Lieute nant Mouki returning in hope of promotion, Libby and Johns being discharged) Captain Lake said, " I hope when I have ano ther ship, we shall sail together." lieutenant Mould replied, " No, never—recollect Jeffery." '1 be Captain said, " I wish I had never done it." Mr. Mould is new is the East laclies: Ii J
