At Cumana, the Spaniards were beyond measure rejoiced at the prospect afforded by the revolution, of promoting the interest and extending the commerce of the South American colonies, as well as of break ing the foreign yoke under which their parent State had nearly sunk ; and a Spanish Officer arrived at i Trinidad from thence states, that the French brig , Serpent, charged with the dispatches from Bonaparte 1 respecting the cession of these colonies, had only ar- , rived two hours previous to the Acasta frigate, dis.; patched by Sir Alexander Cochrane in consequence of the advices from Cadiz. He says the British Of- ficer, Captain Beaver, instantly presented himself be fore the Supreme Court of Audience then sitting in I ; deliberation on Bonaparte's dispatches , and was re- , ceived with a general acclamation of applause by them, to the discomfiture and chagrin of the French Officers who were present, urging a compliance to the mandate of their master ; that one of these Offi cers using some intemperate threat, so exasperated an Aide-de-Camp of the Spanish Commandant, that he drew his sabre and cut him down in the presence of the whole Council ; and that such was the general indignation against the Frenchmen there, that had it. not been for the interference of the British Officers, they would all have been sacrificed. To this account the Trinidad Gazette of the 30th ult. furnishes us with the following : " By a launch which arrived yesterday evening from Barcelona, we learn that a French national brig (no doubt one of the expresses mentioned in Lord Collingwood's dispatches) had arrived at La Guira, with a number of Officers on board, civil and mili tary, bearing orders from Bonaparte, sanctioned by the King, his prisoner, to supersede the present ad ministration of Government, and to establish the reign of the new dynasty in that province. The dis patches had been forwarded to Caraccas ; but the chiefs of that province, men of sound judgment and approved fidelity, having been previously put in pos session of the Bando of the Supreme Junta of Se ville, dated 28th May (which had been forwarded by this Government), weighing well in the scale of prudence the dangers of precipitation in a matter of so much importance to the State, had called a Gene ral Assembly of the Heads of Departments, to deli berate on the steps to be taken in so difficult an emer gency. The Council had accordingly assembled, and were sitting when the Acasta's dispatches arrived to confirm their opinion in the resistance which it seems it was their determination to oppose to the at -1 tempts of the Usurper. They were read with itccia 1' mations by the Councl—the cries of " Viva el fey, tviva nueitro Catholic° Monarea, Fernando Sept:ll.9, y su 1 magnamimo aliedo el Rey de la Gran Bretana , " resounded 1 in the Casa Capitular, and were soon re-echoed by the whole city—and the imperious Officers of his impe rial Majesty were committed to durance vile, in the i Cazematres of La Guira, and his Imperial brig made prize and sent to Porto Cavello. ! " The colours of the two nations were soon dis played on the forts of La Guira, under a general sa lute of all the heavy artillery. The Acasta, at anchor ! in the road, repeated the signals and tokens of alliance and festivity, and the Officers who landed were re ceived and treated with the greatest marks of respect and attention." i BARBADOEF), AUGUST 14. -------- A letter of marque ship, (reported to be the Men tor, Quitetr, from London and Madeira to Antigua and St. Kitt's), a brig, (supposed to be the Tartar, of and for Barbadoes, from the Cape de Verde), and a three-masted ship from Halifax, with seven hundred barrels of flour on hoard, have been captured, and were carried into Fort Royal, Martinique, on the sth instant. The French brigs Pilastre and Platre, of 16 guns each, arrived at Fort Royal, Martinique, on the 6th instant, twenty-eight days from Bayonne; each had on board seven hundred barrels of flour for the troops they were to sail to France on the 12th instant. A French brig, of 18 guns, arrived at Pont-a- Petre, Guadaloupe, on the Ith instant, in thirty-four days, from Rochelle, with nine hundred barrels of flour on board. Two letter of marque brigs, (late the Montrose packet, and Daphne, of Guernsey) well armed and manned, laden with coffee, sailed from Guadaloupe for France on the Sth instant. The French privateer schooner Mouche, of one earn, and 65 men ; Renommee, of one gun, and 108 men ; Integrite, of one gun, and 50 men, were to 5...1 from uuadaloupe on tl:e 10th in,lant. The LONDON.

No further accounts have been received respecting the reported revolution at St. Petersburgh. Private letters received yesterday from Memel, dated the Bth of September, make no mention whatever of such a transaction. Had it occurred before that time, it must have been noticed in these letters ; and, if it hap pened subsequently, it is not easy to conceive how the news could have been conveyed in so short a time from Russia to Holland, over a vast extent of coun try, where travelling meets with innumerable obsta cles. A revolution, however, of this kind is nc tat all improbable. But whether such an event would prove injurious to the French influence is problema tical ; for the Empress-Dowager and the Arch-Duke CONSTANTINE have, for a considerable time, been con sidered as attached to the French faction. It appears by Letters from Memel, that all the at tempts of the English merchants to revive their trade with Memel and Riga have •been frustrated by the vi gilance of the French Consuls and Agents, who will not allow any goods whatever to be received at, or exported from, those places. Letters from Holland of the date of Friday last, mention that on that day King LOUIS assembled his Ministers, but it was not supposed that the object of their being convened was for any purpose connected with the news from Konnigsberg, but merely with the design of some further commercial arrangements,i consequence of instructions conveyed by a messenger' from Paris. Intelligence had reached Holland that Count Ro- IdANZOFT and two couriers passed through Riga en the Sth of September, to proceed from thence to the place appointed for the interview between the Empe ror ALEXANDER and BONAPARTE. It is now ascertained that the Russian Government will not permit American vessels to be laden in the ports of the Baltic, and in consequence several of them are preparing to return in ballast. It is still rumoured that some pacific propositions are certainly in contemplation or already under dis cussion-in the North. The departure of Mr.' THORN TON from Stockholm, and that of the Russian Am bassador from St. Petersburgh to Port Baltic, were these facts correctly ascertained, would give some countenance to the rumour.: but how is this to be re conciled with the interview of ALEXANDER with NA.. POLEON ? The accounts from the Spanish Colonies, received by the way of New York some time ago, are con firmed by dispatches received yesterday at the Admi ralty from the Havannah. The Colonists are every where evincing the same patriotic spirit that has been so conspicuous in the mother country. These dis patches were brought by Lieutenant BELL, who is also the bearer of some very friendly propositions on the part of the Spanish Governments in the West Indies, submitted to the consideration of the - British Ministry. The Barbadoes papers present similar accounts. Falmouth and its capacious harbour, present at this moment a .grand and interesting spectacle.— There are about an hundred and forty transports in Carrick Roads, with eleven thousand troops on board, and the streets are crowded with officers, clothed in all the varieties of military costume; among which the rich habits of the first regiment of Guards are conspi cuous. Sir DAVID BAIRD commands. This valuable Officer arrived on Wednesday,• with about six thou sand troops from Cork. General MANNINGIIAM, Ge neral. SLADE, General WARDS, and General MAC KENZIE, are also there. More cavalry are expected. The wind has blown very strong at times since the transports arrived, but not one of them has yet strai ned a rope-yarn. The markets are well supplied. The Officers enjoy their comforts on shore ; the men . are all in high health and spirits ; and, confident in the tried skill and gallantry of their excellent Gene ral, are impatient to meet the boasted conquerors of Europe on the mountains of Spain. Saturday Colonel HAMILTON arrived 1t PryitioTlth, with dispatches of great importance for Gijon. COL. HAMILTON was to sail immediately in any of his Ma,- jesty's light vessels that was ready at that port. Yesterday, at noon, the Marquis de la ROMANA left town, for the purpose of returning to his native country to join the patriotic standard. This noble and gallant veteran was accompanied by his Aide-de- Camp, Secretary, and some other patriotic Officers belonging to the army which lie commanded in the North of Europe. The property of the Marquis ROMANA has been se-' questered at Hamburgh, amounting, it is said, to 200,000 marks banco. His papers, &c. which were deposited at the house of Mr. STOCKFLECH, have like wise been seized. The Genoa Gazette, of the SOlll nit. states, that NAPOLEON has demanded that the Austrian ports in the Adriatic may be shut against American vessels. BREAD.—There being no Court of Aldermen held this day, the LORD MAYOR, after inspecting the re turns, ordered the price of bread to be reduced three pence in the peck loaf. Five cordwainers from Gainsbro', yesterday se'en. night, were committed to the Kirtou House of Cor rection, for entering into an unlawful combination to the prejudice of their employers. There is now living at Tutbury, in Staffordshire, a woman, named Ann Moore, who has, it is confi dently reported, taken no sustenance fora year and a half. A watch, under medical direction, has sat day and night, since Tuesday, the 13th ult. and the in vestigation, we are assured, is at present in her favour. —Derby Mercury. Although the moor game were not in such abun dance this season, as for some years past, yet the par tridges were never more numerous. The Marquis of HUNTLEY, on Monday the 19th ult. killed 35 brace, within the range of two miles of Huntley Lodge. Auousrus, though Sovereign of the World, com plained that, unlimited as was his power, he was un able to coin one word. A British subject, it seems, can do what an Emperor found impracticable. In one of the last Sunday Papers we are told of the toad jivancy of Lord MULORAVE; and the Editor of the Dublin Evening Post gravely apologises to his Readers fcr being compelled to summarise his intelligence. The Surrey Sessions commence at Kingston this day.—An appeal was entered for trial at these Ses sions, against a Conviction under the Statute for selling in a confectioner's shop a pint of porter—sent out for, for 20. As the parties interested considered the conviction could not be supported, they give up the point, and it will not come on for hearing as was expected. One of the professors of Merseburgh, desirous of exciting the emulation of his pupils, lately introduced to them a boy aged seven years and ten months. The child listened very attent►vely to the Greek lesson given by the Professor, who requested him to continue ►t. To the astonishment of all the scholars, they heard him explain a passage in Plutarch, with which he was previously unacquainted, to the general satisfaction of all present. Cesar's Commentaries were then put into his hands, and he translated with the greatest perspi cuity the passages which had puzzled the other pupils. He was also examined, during this translation, on the subject of the analytical part, and acquitted himselfex tremely well.—He likewise translated from an Italian book, which a person present happened to have with him, and afterwards conversed in that language. This conversation proved that he possessed extensive geo graphical and historical attainments. Fortunately for this wonderful child, be enjoys a isocl constitution and excellent health. THE .ARMY. Yesterday morning the Royal Cardigan Militia marched from the upper barracks at Deal to the Forts No. 2 and S. _ The letters from our army in Portugal express aiky thing but satisfaction 'at SirPlAttßy BuititAltp's re maining in command of them. By this time the Spanish troops from benifflark will have reached their destination: Sir DAVID BAIRD re. mained at Falmouth when the last accounts came away. No doubts are entertained regarding thi s Officer's fighting or treating ; his services hare been long and well known, and, what is very essential, he is popular, and has the fullest confidence in those who fight under him. It is probable that Sir SA. mta.t. AUCHMUI'Y and Brigadier-General R. CRAW. FURD will.follow Sir DAVID BAIRD with another dir . sion of the army. Three brigades of Light and one of Heavy Cavalry will be sent off as soon as transports - can be found, and they can be embarked. The two remaining Re giments of the Hussar brigade, the 7th, or Lord PAGET'S, and the 15th, the Duke of ComBERLAND'q will be•the first to embark ; those two, with the 18:11: will be brigaded under the Hon. Colonel STEUART, brother of Lord CASTLEREAGH. Lord PAGIVT is to have the chief command of the Cavalry, Nothing can exceed the elegance of the dress and equipment of his Regiment, of the Duke of CUMBERLAND'S, and of the 13th Dragoons : they cer. tainly cannot be matched by any foreign cavah y. Several transports arrived at Spithead on Saturday from the Cape of Good Hope. Wheit they left it, the garrison was healthy, but for the Egyptian ophthalmi; that was brought there by the 89th regiment, which had communicated to all the other regiments, where it had committed terrible havoc, particularly in the 73d Highland regiment, and in Sir JOHN DOYLE'S regiment, the 87th, or Irish Heroes. The 89th regiment had been sent to the island of Ceylon. General CLAVERING, General TURNER, and Deputy- Commissary-General MunnAv,lia've come home from the Cape. The two Generals went out to General WHITELOCKE'S Staff, but arrived too Lite. The Ho. nourable General-GREY, the Commander-in-Chief the Cape, was in much bettir health than he had been. Our letters from the West-Ind;es report the islands as very unhealthy ; but General lIECKWORTII was fit. Ling out an expedition against Martinique, with the aid of Sir AIF.X. COCHRANE, of which we hope, in a few days, to be able to give a satisfactory account. We learn that General DYOTT does not proceed with Sir DAVID BAIRD'S army. It is said that Gene rals THELVaS and ELwis go with Sir Sam tau. Aucti. uTY. Since there has been so general and so laudable a spirit among the volunteer.; to transfer their services to the local militia, we understand that it is the inten tion of Government to encourage and increase the latter. For this purpose the local militia will be raied o at least 200,000 men. On the 15th ult. the Prince of Wales's light infan try, or Carse of Cowrie volunteers, commanded hy Lord KINNAIRD, were paraded an Inchmartine, when they unanimously offered to transfer their services to the local militia. A considerable number of stout active young men, spectators of what was passing, stepped forward, and solicited admission into the ranks of this excellent corps. The Brechin battalion of volunteer infantry, no.. der the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Titoms.s Motttsos, have unanimously agreed to transfer their service to the local militia, which offer his MainsT,: has been graciously pleased to accept ; and which service commenced the 24th ult. On the 24th ult. the Haddington volunteer infantry were sworn into the local militia, and every man re ceived a bounty of two guineas. Wedresd• y, Thur.:day, and Friday, the men of tit?. late Western Regiment Mid.Lothian Volunte:sr Infantry, vAre sworn into the Local Militia of Mid- Lothian, and received their bounty of two guineas a mm, in terms of the Local Militia Act. The notice from the SECRET A ILY at WAR, relative to the discontinuance of the pay to Volunteers, applies solely to the members of corps who have offered to transfer their services into the Local Militia. Those who remain as Volunteers, will receive the pay and allowances to which they are entitled under the Vo lunteer Act. LIST Of BARRACKS IN NORTH BRITAIN. SEPT EM BER 18V- 4 . REGIMENTS.

We are very distressed, owing to the mad embargo , of JEFFERSON : this country will be utterly ruined if he continues much longer in power. We have two plentiful crops on hand, and the produce of the ground selling for next to nothing !—Judge what a state we are in when flour scarcely brings a dollar the barrel now ; salt beef and pork may be had in barrels at little more than a halfpenny per pound ; cotton at 3d. per lb. ; tobacco at 2s. 6d. per cwt. ; indigo Carolina, Is. per Ib. ; staves, wood, and lumber of all sorts will ,only sell for fire-wood ; every article the produce of the ground is a drug : it will effectually ruin every farmer, though the land costs them but little. They talk muck in both the northern and southern states of erecting manufactories; but in this state the federalists have effectually discouraged all such attempts, by pointing out their ruin (for wages, though a little lower, are still very high) by the British goods, which will be poured in the moment the embargo is taken off, which we have no doubt will be done whenever Congress sits down, for the federalists have exerted themselves through the whole Union to return mem bers who are in opposition to JEFFERSON and the em. bargo. Indeed, the federalists, who are exceeding numerous through all the states, are hostile to JEF FERSON and the Republican Government, and have openly avowed it in all their publications. SWEDEN. STOCKHOLM, SEPTEMBER 15. " The great object of this letter is to inform you, that two days since positive information was received here, that the Russian fleet in Baltic Port could not defend itself, or be defended by the batteries against the attacks of the Swedish and English fleets • that the Admirals of the latter had sent in a flag oftruce to the Russians, stating, that unless the fleet was sur rendered, they would blow every ship out of the wa ter. In consequence of this, different communications' took place, and the Russian Minister of Marine Schectuoff arrived from St. Petersburgh at Baltic Port. Yesterday, much to the surprise of every body, after dispatches were received, brought by a naval , Officer from the fleets, it was discovered that our Mi ni ,ter, Mr. Thornton, absolutely embarked on hoard the vessel which brought the Zispatches, and without a moment's delay sailed for our fleet off Baltic Port. The reason publicly given is, that Sir James Sauma- L rez, our first Admiral, is dangerously ill, and that I he could no longer attend to the duties required of I him. The best informed people firmly believe, that ne gociations for peace are going on, and that the two fleets of Russia, the one in Lisbon and the other in Baltic Port, will be given up to her, provided she evacuates Finland, and makes peace with Sweden and England." COTTENBURG, SEPTEMBER 23. g 4 We fear the confirmation of bid news from Fin land, where the Russian army has received a sudden reinforcement of ten regiments, or twenty-five thou sand men. " It appears from all accounts, that the fleet the Russians have in the Baltic, is still safer than that at Lisbon was." THE EVENING STAR. 1
