PO.R.EIGY INTELLIGENCE. 1 .Ib . CHOMANSAND, , DECEMBER le. In ackfliiini to my laetittformation, stating to you the several condemnations which had taken place here, I 'Live to subjoin the bark Pacific ; and the con. damnation likewise of the brig Suwarrow. This is certainly a very strange and very unjust decision, the neutrality both of the vessels and car goes being admitted by the Court of Admiralty.— The last was condemned merely on the supposition of l'.aving been under a British convoy. It was stated, in the second place, that the crew had refused to sign their names at the first Court ; and :idly, that after putchasing her return cargo, had she arrived in safety. the instructions were to remit the surplus to lvlr. W. of London. The ship North America has been cleared, as like. wise the ship Atlantic. I cannot account for this partiality. LANDSCRONA, JAN. 8. A very large fleet sailed from Carlscrona on the oth ult. Many of the ships have been unfortunately lost from the difficulty of the navigation at this tem• pestuous season. - EMBDEN, JANUARY A. The obstruction to the intercourse with the interior from this port, still continues, and we can acquire no licences from hence, to enable us to find a market for your goods in any of the other ports of the Kingdom of Holland. ROSTOCK, DECEMBER 22. The ship Haabel having goods on board belonging to us, has been captured by one of the British cimizers. The merchandise was taken out, and the ship, although a Dane, was set at liberty. BAYONNE, DEC. 9t. All the letters from Madrid confirm the report that the greatest disturbances prevail at Seville. Many of the Members of the Junta who have been arrested hate been sent to Gibraltar. According to one letter, it mill be no longer the Archbishop of Toledo, but Cu esta, who will - be Regent of the Kingdom ; and Ro 'maim will be declared Generalissimo ()fall the armies. A letter from St. Sebastian announces, that in that port a sequestration has been laid on all American vessels. MADRID, DECEMBER ti. The preparations for the reception of the Emperor it the Castle of Marrac are terminated. It is an bounced this day, that the English have evacuated all the coast cf Gallicia, and carried off the vessels which were its the ports. Colonel Tascher, Aid de-Camp to his Majesty the ring of Spain, arrived here yenerday, from Paris, where he had been sent on a mission. He is t it is istid, the bearer of very important dispatches. The nomination of his Highness the Prince of Neuf chatel and Wagram to the rank of Major• General of the army of Spain has been received with much plea sure by the whole army. We see in it a happy indi cation of the speedy arrival of his Majesty the Empe ror and King, and the certainty that the destiny of Spain will at length be axed. _ _ _ It is not yet known what new destination is reserved by his Majesty for Marshal Souk, Duke of Dalmatia who, since the departure of Marshal Jourdan, has dis' charged the duties of Major-(general. Marshal Ney, Duke of Elchingen, has arrived at Salamanca, where he immediately took the command of the 6th corps.

Paz vosr, which contained the reply of our Government to the overture made to us from NAPOLZON, through 1 1 the Austrian Ambassador. All expectations of its leading to a Negotia. l tion are at an end. It is reported, however, that NAPOLEON has written a letter to the KING on the subject of Peace, in which he expresses a wish that is his MAJESTY will deign to return an answer from himself." With this wish, it is added, Ministers have advised his MAJESTY to comply. If votes, proclamations, and resolutions were wea. pons calculated to destroy an invading army, the Spaniards would soon establish their independence, under the guidance of the Supreme Junta. The Se ville Casette of the 21st ult. contains a long Manifesto from the Government to the People, which concludes as follows : The Supreme Junta has resolved, that the order of the 4th of April, that all the jewels and plate of the churches, not necessary for public worship, shall be sent to the Mint, at Seville, shall be carried into execution with all due exactness and promptitude; that a forced loan of half the gold and wrought silver in the possession of individuals shall be opened ; that an extraordinary contribution shall be imposed on all classes of the state ; that all useless offices shall be suppressed as they fall vacant—that a loan shall be opened of six millions of dollars in Spain, and an. other of forty millions in America—that a contribu ' tion shall be imposed on coaches and other carriages of convenience; that our armies shall be augmented with 100,000 men ; that 100,000 lances and 100,000 poignards shall be manufactured, to be distributed among the provinces where they may be of use ; that the different points of the Sierra, from Santa Olalla to the kingdom of Grenada, shall be surveyed-by able engineers ; that all the companies of the corps of the army shall be supplied with competent offiaers ; that besides the means that are employed with extraordi nary activity to replace the arms and effects of the army, the Superior Juntas, by such means as they may judge most suitable, shall cause the muskets of i the peasants to be collected ; that three deputies shall go (as they have already gone) to the army of La Mancha, with ample powers to remedy the misfortune lac Ocana, and to prevent similar in future. May i these means, and others not less energetic, which the ' Government has in contemplation, contribute to in. spire the Spaniards with confidence and to the defence i and salt' ation of the country I" While we lay the following letter before our readers we consider it a duty due to the public to state, that on the most careful examination of our Port letters for these three days past, we have not been able to discover that any vessel called the Hannah has put into any British port, or landed any passengers. It is next to impossible that three passengers should have been landed at Falmouth under such peculiar cir cumstances, and never have mentioned so singular an event as is stated in the subjoined communication. We do not believe a word of it, and we sincerely wish' that the fabricator may be detected and exposed : _ _ " The Hannah, off Falmouth, Friday, 11 o'clock A.M. " I request you to convey the inclosed letter to my friend, Cap tain Williams (an American), if he be still in the habit of fre quenting your house.—if not, you will forward it by the post according to its address. The reason I give you this trouble is, that the letter contains information of importance to Capt. Williams. A shlp,which he is part owner of, I have reason to belicve,is burnt, in a general conflagration of the shipping in Cadiz harbour, amongst Which I apprehend most of the Spanish and French men of war have suffered, as well as two men of war that had recently ar rived from the Havannah with specie. If you have not heard the business, it may be interesting to you to know, that on the 1 \lst instant, an insurrection broke nut at Cadiz, headed by a large French party, who have been laying this plan for some time, to *et the place into their possessicn. On the 4th, they rose awil ' seized the Governor Venegas, and most of those in thetonfidence of the Government. A strong force, notwithstanding, resisted them, and there was fighting on shore all night, and the very glitters ran with blood, as lam informed. I heard the firing of smilli arms almost continually, and in the evening of the sth, per. riving that the bulk of the shipping was set on fire, .1 thought it wise to put to sea with the ball of my cargo unloaded. The bleu at sea surpassed every thing I ever beheld. The wind con. tinned westerly for several days, and I reached off this place this day, end landed three passengers, one of whom has promised to leave diis letter. 1 learned from the shore, that an attempt was made to liberate the French prisoners onboard of the hulks, but whether with succas, Ido not know.

On examining the original of the above letter at the Antigallican Coffee-house, we find it has not come through the General Post-office, but by the two-penny post, and post paid. But what proves the whole to be forgery, %he name of Matthew has been first writ ten with only one t in it, and the second crammt d in afterwards! No man could forget the orthography 1 f ,ohis orris name. tog , Master-General, subniltted the charge to the Com pany's Judge-Advocate-General ; but that Gentle man was of opinion, that not the Quarter -Master-Ge- neral, but the Officers signing the charge, should be brought to trial, considering their charge as an attack (upon the Government. It was replied, that not the measure proposed and acted upon, but the allegations of the report were objected to ; and the King's Soli citor-General being next applied to, was of- opinion there were grounds for bringing the Quarter-Master. General before a Military - Tribunal. On this, the Commander in Chief determined to prosecute The Quarter-Master-General, whom the Government re solved to defend ; and a contest for authority took place. The following documents have been trans mitted to us : 1, A letter (Jan. 30) from the Commander in Chief to Lieu tenant-Colonal Munro, ordering him to be placed under arrest preparatory to trial. 4. The answer of the Quarter-Master -General (same date), An which he says, “ A sense of pubic duty induces me to notice " the extraordinary spectacle of an Officer holding one of the first " situations under Government, being placed in arrest by a Com " mender in Chief, fur a report prepared under the special orders " of the preceding Conunawier in Chief, which the latter declared " upon record to be the combined result of his own, and that " Officer's reflection, and which has received the entire appro. " bation of this and ;he Supreme Government." The Quarter- Muter-General desires the Commander in Chief to inform the Governor of his proceeding. On this Colonel Munro tendered to the Commander in Chief's remoialrance an appeal, to be forwarded to the Civil Government, or Board ; this, however, the Commander in Chief declined presenting, saying, in a letter (dated 23d January, No. 4.) to Colonel Munro " I think it will be allowed that your present attempt 44 to make a reference to a Civil Government is novel " and unexampled, and striking a blow at the root " of military authority, which cannot be sufficiently " reprobated." 5. A remonstrance from Colonel Munro addressed to the Chief Secretary of Government.--s(Same date.) 6. A letter from the Chief Secretary of Government to the Commander in Chief (dated the 24th January), recommending him to release Colonel Munro from his arrest. 7. The reply of General Macdowall, protesting against the in terference of the Civil Authority, and contending that a Court Martial alone could decide between the Quarter-Master-General and the Officers, He censures him for communicating with the Government. 8.9. 10. Other letters followed, in which the Comntander-in- Chief declared, that without the express order of the Governor in Council, he could not release the Quarter-Muter-General from the arrest. The Governor, therefore, sent the order. • On this, the Commander-in-Chief issued the Ge neral Orders, censuring the conduct of the Quarter- Master-General, and took leave of the army, which induced the Governor in Council to remove him from his command after his embarkation. After the departure of General Macdowall, the Government on the Gth of February, issued explana tory and conciliatory General Orders, in vindication of the measures pursued by the Governor in Council. These, however, had not the effect of appeasing the army. It is already known that Colonel Capper and Major Boles were suspended by order of the Gover nor. The army therefore voted £2OOO alear to Co lonel Capper, and £l5OO to Major Boles, during the suspension; and a paper was handed about, contain ing charges to be preferred against Lieut.-Colonel Munro, for his subsequent conduct. , The following is a copy of this paper : " Lieutenant-Colonel John Munro, Quarter-Master-General, charged—With conduct of a mutinous tendency, unexampled in the history of the British army, in breach of the Articles of War, unofficer-like and ungentlemati-like, as set forth in the following instances:— " let.

The following particulars are circulated respect:ng the resignation of a Public Accountam: of high rank: —" The accounts of Mr. GEOROEVILLIERS, Paymaster of Marines, having been fur some time considentbly arrear, attracted the particular attention of the Navy Board : the examination being completed to the end of the year 180*, a balance of about ie280,000 appearea upon the lace of the account to be due to the Public. This balance arising upon an account current only, af forded no means of judging correctly of the amount; but, as the sum was so large, and as it was gal probable that there must still be a considerable vim in the Accountant's hands, he was called upon to give i 3 the remainder of his accounts without delay, and to ac count for whatever might be due from him to the Pub lic. With this demand Mr. VILLIERs was unable, as he stated, to comply, by reason of the extent and intricacy of his accounts, and the nu mber of his Sub-Accountants , and he therefore requested that some time might be al lowed for this purpose ; but in order to obviate the pos sibility of his increasing or employing in the mean time the balance in his hands, he tendered at the same toe the resignation of his office, and offered to put into thIP hands of Government his estates and property of ever? description, as a security to the public for any baland that might finally be declared against him. Upon dut . ground, and accompanied by these securities, his Temp nation was accepted, and an arrangement has, we on' derstand, bean made for the speedy examination and final liquidation of the accounts," It is said Mr. VILLIERS is to be succeeded by Gene ral PHIPPS, and that the office of Paymaster of Maned is in future to be conducted upon a different plan, by which, in conformity with the present practice of ot!'Cf public offices, the balances will no longer remain in the hands of the Accountant, but will be deposited in the Bak of England.
