The Capture of Pensacola by storm is generally cre- Zitcd by the best informed American merchants in the 'rhe letters received on Friday give the intern- go.ce without effecting any doubt on the subject. The -I:ritish Consul at Philadelphia, on mentioning the news, :tates, that is reported 500 American soldiers were cr wounded in the assault: General Jackson, in a late dispatch, " I am on my ' match to Pensaco!a, which place I shall probably have to occupy with an American garrison:' If, therefore, the aggre - sion has been committed, it was at least not an unfbresccn difficulty ; and assuming the fact to be as stated, which seems now hardly disputable, war may .he censidcrel as actually subsisting between Spain and the Unite.: States. We have reeeivel an important letter from Spain, by which it appears that Feted-rand having presided at se%•cril State Councils, in which the subject of the ...Spanish Colonies was agitated, Couriers were dispatched to several of the Allied Powers: there is little doubt' b.it that they related in some measure to the occupa tion of the Flaridas, by the troops of'the United States. Extract of a lac" e.atcd Irun, July 7 :—" The Go vernm •:1L has received official news from South Ameri ca, bro!.. A ht bt arrived at Calls within the last few de's ; it is t..) be presumed that it is not favourable, Ls the greatest silence lias been preserved. The King PSC 1111:: NA TI ()NAT. 1117GISTUlt. :I,:s presided several theca at the Council u: State, when the airairs of our coldaies came under onisideratiou Couriers have bJen sent off with dispatches fur nussla, Lfutdon and Paris. -07;41g...0ther hand, the most strict °niers have boeu sent to Cadiz, to aceekrate fhb de parture of the grand e!..pedition, which has been a long time preparing in Gut port. The recruiting continues, end it is that all the officers uuemployel have been • invited to go to South America, with a protalse of re compense preportionel to their services. In general the tteJps have shown a dislike to eatltar7:, and the uews cireulated is by no means suited to give thew ardour. " The port of Cluliz is at this raiment blockaded, and numerous privatcvrs cruizo at .the entrance. A merchant vessel was taken at the moment it was enter ing, and carried °lrby the pirrates." Yesterday srereceived the Paris Papers of Wednesday last. The only interesting part of their contents, is the procualings in the case of General Cantle' against Senneville and Fabvier General Cannel himself ap peared in Court, soliciting a delay in the trial, witkh was accordingly postponed till the Ist of next math. The General afterwar►ls surrendered hinr.eLf to the Judge of Instruction, who, however, per*htei him to return home, -upon his promise.to present himself on thaollotving day. The speech n►ade by the General is exceedingly interesting at the present ►noment, con nected as the affair is with the late conspiracy. The French Funds have declined a little. The French papers contain no farCeer accennt of the plot, but. we arc g1:v1 to see th,:t every thing is in train fin. judicialinvestheatiun and open trial: it is this sort of inquiry alone whkh can either be satisflactery to the nation at large, or useful for the guidance of the Government itself, because by this -means ale c the whole truth can in any ease be elicited. The King's brother is said to have given orders to all under his influence, that no individual, however menaced, shall quit his post rill the course of justice has disclosed the real delinquents. It is even said that General Canuel, who * disappeared so mysteriously, intended to show himself before the Curt of Correctional Police last uestlay, when the case of calumny in which he was plaietilf was to ha heard. The next arrivals from Paris will show whether this extraordinary reappear ance took place. Gen. Donadieu, who was sent to Clermont to - review a Swiss regiment, is said -to have met with the usual fate of intemperate zeal ; his friends distrust him, and suspect that he has turned in former. No new arrest has taken place in consequence of the conspiracy, and only one change among official men, and that of a somewhat equivocal nature. M. Kergarion, who had made the not unfreqnent trans fer of opinion from Buonapartism to high aristocracy, has been recalled from an important and active fuuctit,n at Rouen, to be invested with the honourable but less active appointment of a Coanciilor of State.* In the Midst of these disturbances the King' has preserved his calm and discriminating good sense : rhile he views with the proper disgust the insane attempts of his pre tended friends, he knows also how to appreciate the selfishness of those who seize the first moment of genet ral alarm, if not of general danger, for the purpose o diAplaying their own importance, at the risk of embar rassing the Government end distracting the affections of the people. For this reason, Marshal Marmont is said to be at present out of favour with his Majesty, for having, at the very moment of the disclosure of the plot, made a parade of coming forward to take upon himself all the blame which General Canuel (an alleged accomplice in the conspiracy) had thrown upon the Marshal's Aide-de 7 Cansp, about the old story of the Lyonnese quarrel. This 'was at least ill-timed, and equally unworthy of the interestetlaess of a patriot and of the generosity of a soldier. Letters have been received fie,m CAL: to the Ist of July. The convoy arrivedlnam the Havannah had an engagement with an Insurgent squadron off the port. The latter, consisting of two brigs and a sloop, were beat off, after an action of four hours. _ . An appeal was tried at the Guildford Sessions, on Wednesday last, between the parishes of test Grin stead and Bcrmondsey, respecting the settlement of a poor man, a shoemaker, named Ellis, which terminated in favour of the former parish ; and so great was the exultation of the East Gritsteatl Parish Officers, at ,he deti.sat of this Raw half-starved cobbler, who was [artiai to the air of Grinstead, that they set the ells a ringing, on Tlitirssiay evening; of ,-ent'eman tlho rssionaly attended the Sessions, paraded the town wilt a purple cockade in h,s h t.

We are sappy to see the exertions of the manager of this theatre keep race Aviol his promises. This paet week has again been characterized by the production of a new pie= under the title of Doctor Bolas.-.-It is of the Birlesque specks, and afforded ample score fur the comic talents of Mr. Hurley and Miss Kelry. Thu. latter we de not recollect to have seen before in a 'ter finale:ice of ads kind, and most heartily congratulate hr on her personation of Qacel Katalityla. It was indeed the highest essence of the burlesque, and in the mad scene, the ludicrous expression of her countenance,. convulsed the audience with laughter. The piece finishes with a dunce, which is a burlesque on those intr. , duced. in the finale to the grand piglet of the Italian Opera: anti -the tableau which concludes it, and in evhieli .ad the dancers assume extravagant attitudes, is among thss• hap:iiest exereien of the pertiminers.—The piece wee received throughout with decided approbation. Miss Carew and Ali,e Kelly sail .continue to render our old favourite opera of &villa and he Beg; ar's Opera. toe Attractive to make us remember how often we have seen thein.—The Indiens nigetly reveler Perouse more attractive than we remember it since the first season of its representation, and are advertised to appear in the Opera of the Americals, which is to be revived for -the perpose of their introduction The illuminated shrubbery assumed a new and mere elegant . .fneu in the :di: pesition of its trees on Monday evening, and attracts crowds of visitors of both sexes, who find the coolness of the funntnins and -the shade of tha groves the best re treat during the unparalleled heat of the weecler. JIA V TIIEATGE. Mr. J. Russel, the actor who lately appeared in .Dr. 011o l wa, on Wednesday night performed the character of &mit° in the S'eep Walker. The general tone of. the part was given in very good style, and some of his imitations were at once easy to be distinguished, and entirely free from all caricature and distortion. In she imitation of singing he was particularly succos.sful ; he has a powerful and well-funned voice by nature, with infinite facility in ;,'ratting on it the peculiar manner of others; that of Incledon was a ,Jac simile. Some gentletnad in the pit was very way.: in expr::4ng his disapprobation, which was so much n.:s-rited as to cause the expulsion of the offender. The applause was thea universal. • Mr. Warde made his second attempt on a Lo :don stage on Friday night in the character of Oetav:::f. Like his Leon, it was a goad and correct rather than a great and striking perforinance Nothiag could be •more picturesque than his appearance, and general manner, or present a better outline of this sin gular, character; in the details and the colouring of the deeper tints of feeling he was occasionally deficient ; he presented the ruine d form and the dejected manner, but the perverted intellect and ardent love, in their nicer shades of delineation, escaped him His best pas sages were his first meeting with Floranthe, and the scene where be dis:overs he has no longer a rival. Mr. Warde was received with the warmest applause, mid is evidently.a growing favourite of She public. Miss E. Blanchard represented Zorajda in an interesting man. ner. Mr. Kean, on his arrival in Paris, took up his red deace at the London Hotel ; at which time IUo Eng lish persona lodged there. He was almost immediately visited by Talira, who . gave a superb dinner to Mr. Kean and a numerous party on .the 15th inst. Mr. Kean was to leave Fans on Monday last on his route to Geneva. _ see from the proceedings of the • Convention of Scottish Boroughs, that as little good was to be expect ed fro u a body so inaudibly constituted, so little cer tainly fez been done. The convention has determined, by 25 to 23 votes, that it possemas no power of chang ing the set of a borough unless all the parties concerned desire the alteration. This principle,if enforced, will is a great measure frustrate improvement, since it is only in ce.ws of unmanageable debt that the self-electors win consent to relinquish the emoluments and eendleration which they now enjoy at the expense of their n eg ligent ceuntrymen. The change, however, which has bees effected for Dundee, is likely, we understand, to be important.—Glasgow Chronick. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has granted a sum of 3001. for the relief of ,the inhabitants of Scilly and Islands. It is stated, however, by the Cornwall Ga zette, that 10001. at least are necessary to ritisfy- their present necessities; and from 20001. to 30001. to esta blish mnelzarel and pilchard fisheries, as the only mea sure of permanent support. The same paper strongv recommends the opening of subscriptions for that chari table purpose. The following is from a Liverpool paper, and we hope the conjecture that all is quiet in Manchester may prove well founded :—" One and twenty per sons have been apprehended on a charge of rioting, ten of whom have, we understand, ken committed to Chester Castle. The Manchester paper makes no men tion of the pr o ceedings of the workmen who had struck for wages at that place ; su that we- suppose all is thin quil there." .Aionows _6.41
