His gracious MaJtes - ry this day completed the.s7:h year of his reign. As customary, the Abbey, St. Martin's, and St. Margaret's Bells were rung ; and at one o'clock the Park and Tower Guns were fired. It was currently repiirtcd in the City this morning that the Duke of WELLINGTiIN had arrived in town. We have not had time to ascertain the truth of the' to port. The Sate Tr;81::, at DLrby, have now terminated. When the evi:lence against George it was doled, Mr. Ctuss, in addressing the Jswy for the prisoner, said he would no longer oppose the view of t!.e law, as laid down by the Court, but entreated the Jury to recommend this thooghleea sad misled young man to the Royal Mercy, A verdict of Geilty was returned by the Jury, accompanied by a strung re cs)mmeni!ati-n to mercy. It was then intimated to the Counsel for the priso ners, that if the rerndn;ing criminals would withdraw their plea of Not Guilty, mercy would be extended to them. This was agreed to, and the Curt were to meet this morning to close the trials, by adrOdying the other prisoners to suffer some mitigated punishment. It is now put beyond all doubt that the Rnssian sq uiu i r ,,n from Revel Is, in the fret instance, destined for Cadiz. A letter now before us horn Copt &lege% dated the 11th inst. menticns, that Hilts had been sent therce to navigate these ships through the Cat tegat into the North Sea, on its way to a avail's!) port ; and a letter from Madrid, given below, mt n tions their ezpectation•ol its at riv el. This letter also confirms what we have stated, that these ships be tome Spanish property by purchase, and adds, that they 'ark not to he paid for in real cash, but by sow excisatist —that is, by some cession of territory its one• quatttr or another. Now this is one of the citcorn stances which we anticipated as puss , ble, and which, as it may alter the rAative position of Rossia in re. spect to our own, may demand some interference on the part of our Government. A little time will pro bably throw some light on this subject. MADRID, ocroaEß 0. The aew system of contributions established by the Royal atree at the Stith May last seems to triumph ovet all obstacles. The provinces in general furnish their contingents with the utmost exactness—that is to say, the two-thirds of the impost for the current year. Tim different appeals of individuals who h.. lieve themselves more or less injured 1 the rcparti. ti6n whi.:h Pas been peovisiesally ordained, will be determii.ed before the period for the payment of the last third, and justice done to every one according to the state of his•circumstsoces. We expect daily to hear of tLe arrival at Cadiz of a Russian squadron. The report current here is,, that our Government has made the purchase of the ships of which this squadron is composed. It is net bebeired that we have paid for this acquisition with effective cash. but rather by some mbar ge, the con ditions of which are not yet known. The squadron consists of five vessels of the lime and three frigates. On its arrival here the Russian crew will be replaced by Spaniards. It is understood that the ship Asia, and a frigate, which are now lying equipped at Cadiz, will be joined to this fleet, and that it will then be formed into divisions, for the exclusive purpose of protecting our maritime commerce on different points of onr colonies. According to general opinion, no land forces will be embarked in these vessels. Battalions ol troops still continue marching to wards the two points of rendezvous indicated in Es tternadura, and in Leon in the environs of Ciudad Rodrigo. It appears also that the Portuguese are rein facing their frontier garrison's. No person believes Chat there is any think serious in these movements. It *painful to see whole weeks and *months elapse without any intelligence of what is passing in our colonies, especially in the Provinces t f Venezuela, Carlecas, and all Terra Firma, where, without doubt, lelarillo does not, remain idle. Fur a lung time past Vie Gaiette has not published any thing on Alm sub ject. The Corsairs intercept all corrrspcodence. This want of news night not, however, to be interpreted unfavourably ; fa if events were favourable to the 'lnsurgents, they would thernieleesendeavouf in sore way or other to make them public. We are assured that Government has not dis dained to employ, the talents of . M. Cauga Arguelles, one of the Liberaler comprised in the rigorous mea ewes which broke the party of the Cortes. This Isla gionate has obtained some relaxation of his sentence; tom the Isle of Pensacola, to which he was banished, be has" come to Valencia, where he now *resi 4 es peaceably and occupies himsell, it is believed, in rime work upOn the 6naaces, which has been required from him by she Minister, It is also sm.& that he re ceives a salary of somoo rids (012 English). 14.

This clsy in which our vencrable Monarch, King Charles XIII, who h.ss been for eight years and a half the S"vereign of. Sweden, and for throe years of Norway also, has et:aired on has 70th year, has been celebrated here by various festivitiss, chiefly of a mi litary nature. In the evening there is to be a sham. fight, and fireworks on the river before the Palate, en which occasita 1500 rockets are to be discharged at once. Tile interruption of the circulation of the discount paper, has so raised the value ot the various Bank money, tie paper currency of the kingdom, that in the exchange today 100 shillings were noted for one 1 rix.dollar Hamburgli Bank money, instead of 1100— , The fall of the r.tte ot exchange will, probably, go farther, because most of the rich have their money iu those 3 per Cent. Notes, and are, therefore, now idle, particularly in the province of Schonen, where , almost the whole circulating medium ctinsisthig of Malmoe discount -notes, the stagnation will be great. i —All the three Discount Establishments are compa nies privileged by the State, which, •n the credit of their funds, take in money at = per cent. with the obligation to repay at sight, on bond at 6 per cent. interest, or on security. Their whole business was transacted by means of bonds for the sum paid in, or assignments on the Bank for the sum paid out. This paper inundated the country, and passed as ready as-iney from hand to hand, till the knuwkdge of In• insecurity of the Malmee Establi►hment, caused r a general distrust ea which the whole mass of many mitions, was stopped in its circulation. the extent 1.1 their tranbections, in proportion to the Weds, is rep. 'dent. from the fact that Ake Proprietors recuited se /wally an annual dtvidessl of 20 per cent. use their shares. There is, however, very sued reason to sup. pose, that the Gettealmrgh Discount Bank will soon resume its payments. A very important question is to be decided by the Government; reasuely, the Exportation of rilober in toreign vessels, upon 'ht. payment ot the same duties WI an natimial stops; al;ainst which the Shipowners and the whole Beard ot Crade of the. Kingdom have declared, with the exception of the President, Baron Edelkranz. The opiuwn given by the latter contains the following remaricable data t—" Ot the twenty tour Goaernmeuts, tile thirteen must p..pulous alone contain 211.0 square males (me..aing German or 1 Svitdiah square wiles, equal to 25 English), or 4.5 i millions tons id land, Canted with woods: as 6000 cubic feet are the smallest anneal produce of one ton of land (so called from its being calculated to pro du, a details quantity est corn), it follows that 12Q square miles are soOicieist for the consumption ot the mines, ot the time-kilns, the tar manufactories, fences, ship-boil:ling. and fuel; and the produce of 2299 square miles may be spared for exportation. This exportation has hitherto ammunted on an average to 57,000 beams, 23,000 spars, end 175,000 deals, worth 90(1;000 fix dollars. " Now as this whole exportation of about fire mil- ' ,ions of calk feet, requires only four square miles to grow again in 100 years, the imagination is con founded at the immensity of the treasures which Na ture annually produces, and again starers to decay Without use, in these sulitodes; and every patriot must be grieved when he sees that so small a part of them torus to the advantage of the country. A single palish lately offered to the Crown a fullest covering 50,000 tons of land, or three-fourths of the .txtent used far our whole exportation of timber, In order to be excused Item a certain contrihntion. In the nust favourable conjunctures, Norway exported', annually to the amount of five millions of dams Hambuigh Banco money." WARSAW, OCTOBER S.

A Leeward Island Mail arrived this morning, and has'brought us, intelligence" in the highest degree fa• vourable, with respect to the "progress of the Inde pendent cause in South Amelia". The brave Margaritaniaus Live triumphed in their noble defence against the execrable Mosituar. A let ter from St. Thomas, dated the 17th ultimo, states, that MOKILLO had at length been compelled to eva. cuate the island, on which it was immediately occu pied by lioetvAn, at the bead cf a Patriotic mince, without a gun being fired. The greatest unanimity prevails among the Officers in the Patriotic, Army, which has recently beet' Joined by a great number of experienced French Office's, whose mnitary tactics have been of essential service in promoting the success of the Independents. Admiral Bairns has been reinforced by several armed vessels, which have rendered his fleet so for , tnidable that no Spanish force, at present on the Oro noko, is capable of coping with him. From the position of the patriotic forces, both by land and sea t no doubt whatever is now entertained of the speedy and complete triumph of the patriotic cause. Of the subsequent fate of Mr'niu.o, and the wreck addle Royalist army, there are no accounts. A mail from Jamaica has also arrived this moroing The Jamaica Gazette of the 16th Angu-t presents the fr,llowing communication, made by Rear.
