THE NATIONAL REGISTER.. SEPT . 4. mously that it should he taken into consideration, and in the mean time to be printed, The French Papers continue to speak of the existence of disturbances in Spain. It is said that armed bands arc tra versing the province of Leon, and committing great excesses. It is added, that Government has called upon the !oval Wants to associate and disperse ti►em. In the mean time the French are treated with great riggsur in that country ; a proclam►►ation of the celebrated Palafox n►ders them to quit his government of Arragon, under pain of immediate im prisonment. The reason assigned for this severity is the un certai,,ty of the political relations subsi.htii►g between France and Spain. The Duke of Welling,tnn bad his first public audience of the French King on Wednesday serinight, as Ambassdor rxtraordinary from this country. His Grace was received wish g' cat state arid ceremony on the occasion : he after wards paid a visit to Monsieur, who addiessed the Duke as follows : '• "1 tut killa and all the Royal Family see, with the gryntest pleasure " the choice which the Prince Regent has ciade of ato rep w rthy " to r. , prescot hin►. Ott, de'ire auc► our hope is t., ere o (hirable peace " e•tai►li>hCel between two nations, more formed to esteem► than to com e' bat each other." A Mail from Jamaica arrived yesterday, with Jamaica Papers to the I gth July. They do nut contain any intelli gence of much consequence " INGSTON, JULY 16.—8 y the Annette we learn, that great commotion!. had prevailed in Catthacena, and flint there were three distinct parties, ‘;z. the Royali•:s, the Indpendents, awl a third, xlit) had eet4; avoor«I to bring about a counter-revolution in eon,equet.ce of which all British subjects were di-posed to em bark for this island with their property. So disagreeable was the news of the late important events in Europe to the Co vermin lit of Carthagena, and 140 apprehensive were t!.ey of its opening the e% es of even their adheients, that, when spoken of publicly, the persons so offending ran the risk of being apprehended and imprisoned. " The G9Vei ntnent of Carthagena had demanded of the mer chants of that place a large loan, with threats that, should they not comply within a given time, the same would be taken by fin cc. ' When La Felice sailed from Carthagera, eyed) , thirg was ( pi;et, but notwith.tanding great apprehenstrws elite; tanied or e..nin.otion: in that town. Flom the motley form of Go‘ermnent it was not known how long British subjeets would he respreted, and every one at that place seemed de:trims to :!et away as fast he could, with ‘thatever valuables he posses-cd." The Gazette of last night contains an order for the raising of the blockade of Norway. We have heard from good audio' ttv, that the houses of the Officers of the French army in the city of Roue'', were illuminated on Buonaparte's Birth-day, and they held a pub lic dinner, as a mrde of celebrating the event. A Ministerial Paper says----“ A mistindet standing. has Lie f.: tunately occurred in a distinguished regiment of Hussars, the fon , dation of which was laid in Spain. The whole of the Office's, with the exception of the names of two, have signed. it is said, a Round Robin against the expected promo tion of their superior Officer in rank, which wilt, in all puriba bilit V. lead to a speedy investigation before a Mili!ary Court of Inquiry." The Jamaica fleet has arrived in the Channel, after a pas sav• of , ixty days. They passed Va:inouth, Ito in coin pally, on . .lond.tv last, under convoy of the (..,onquestador, late commanded by Lord V Stuart, who, we are sorry to say, (lied on the passage of a fever. We are sorry to have to add, that the Captain of Marines, four midshipmen, and 24 seamen, also died of the same fever, on :he passage, between the .27th of June and the 1601 of July ! The Dublin Evening Post of the 31st ult says, " That an express passed thro u gh Dublin yesterday, on its way from Ghent td America, announcing the absolute and unqualified rupture of the Negociation between the Ministers of the United States of America and the Plenipotentiaries of the Prince Regent of England." Accounts from Bremen state that the disbanding of the hessian troops had been countermanded, and that the whole army had been ordered to be placed in marching order The Russian army remaining near Hamburgh continued to be re. inforced. Thee measures are attributed to the precarious state of Germany. An article from Brussels states, " the Duke of Wellington has overlooked nothing that can help to give our country a strong barrier on side of France; this line will tie extended according to the extent of territory to be unitcd with Belgium ; mean time, a large army will be maintained in our province; besides the numerous garrisons, there arc to be two camps, one between Tournay and Cour tray, and a second near Guievraine, a place between Ber gen and-Valenciennes, almost the extremity of our &majors on that Fide." An arrangement between Great Britain and Holland has been signed on the part of the former by the Prince IZegent. and was sent off on Monday last to Brussels, to receive the signature of the Prince Sovereign of the Netherlands. The Cape of Good Hope, Demarara, Essequibo, and Berhi are to he retained by this country. Batavia, and all ihe rest of the islands and places, as Surinam, Curacoa, and St. Eustatia, conquered from the Dutch during the war, are agreed to be restored by the treaty. Ceylon of course re mains with us, as it was ceded to Great Britain before the war. The value of Curacoa and St. Eustatia is said to be much diminished by the openness of the trade to the Spanish main, for which they formerly served as the great depots fur European contraband goods. A droll circumstance occurred this week at the Custom House, Portsmouth. Some of those numeious French pro- sellers, which daily arrive, brought over some loaves of bread, which they pretended were for sale, and which they had with them at the Custom House. One of the persons employed there, in passing by some of the French people. jocosely struck a loaf with his stick, when it divided, and out flew a pair of si/k stockings ! Of course this was the signal for searching the remainder of the loaves, which were 40 in number, and prolific enough to produce no less than 36 pair of silk stockings. The% were all seized, and the ern. ? harrassinent of the bread sellers may he better conceived the described. Not long since among their dead stock, a tut key was found stuffed with fine lace. These are only two in stances among the number of ingenious ones which those peo ple resort to, in order to conceal their contraband goods.
