Tuesday American papers arrived to the 12th June. They bring intelligence of the proceedings of the Co egress, with the accounts of the Army, alai of the Finances laid before that Assembly by the respective Ministers in those depart ments. Among the principal cause of disputes with the Re publican Government has been, that fraudulent protections obtained by foreigners in the character of American sea men.—Mr. DANA had presented a Bill to avoid this abuse ; end, as a further measure of conciliation towards Great Bri tain, he proposed to require security of the Masters of Ame rican vessels that they will not enter any port declared to be in a state of blockade. Joseph Buonaparte has passed Decrees far the sale of the Spanish national property, under which denomination are included the estates belonging to the suppressed monas teries, Sze. At the same time be has renewed his former declaration, that the Spanish national debt, subsisting in the form of Vales Reales, shall be held sacred ; and has provided that the purchase money of those national estates may be paid for in fates Reales, which are to be received at their full nominal value. This, like so many acts of the French Government, is, under the shew of great libe rality- and honour, in reality a measure of deep policy and refined caaniu4. - A letter from Stockholm of the 4th instant. stables that the peasants had at. length been satisfied by the con cessions which had been made to them, and had signed the Constitution. With respect to the horses with which they are of liged to furnish travellers, each peasant is now to drive his own boric., to receive twelve shillings Swedish for every six miles, and to be allowed one hour and a half to • drive six miles. Several taxes are to be paid equally by all classes, and the peasant may buy an estate with the same privileges as a Nobleman.

They are not allowed to read even the French newspapers, and are kept in profound ignorance of the state of Europe. Their medical attendants and valets, who were Spaniards, have been removed from their per sons ; and the Park in which the Royal Prisoners are al, lowed to take the air, is about a league in extent. Alarshal Lasnes did not bear the near approach of his dissolution with that courage which might have been ex- Fected from a veteran soldier, who so often dared death in the &It! of battle- He is said to have wept immode rately, and frequently lamented his approaching end. The Physicians secretly complained of this to the Empe ror, who, in one of his visits, enraged at hia favourite's pu sillanimity, threatened to discontinue his visits if he gave vas( to it. We understand, from a person who left the Dutch coast on Tuesday evening last, that an embargo has been laid upon all vessels in every one of the Dutch ports.

AZ EITE, Admiralty Office, .7uly IS, 1809. Extract of a Letter from Capt. (bate, Commander of his Ma. jesty's ploop the iilusqiiitn, addressed to Rear-Aditiral Sir R. Stradlat), and trair-mittcd to the lion. W. W. Pole, dated in • the River Elbe, July 9, ISO). I proceeded up this river with his Majesty's vessels named in the margin*, and anchored out of gun-shut of the battery at Cuxhaven, on the lthinst. and as it was too strong - to be attack ed by his Majesty's vessels, I w;l3 determined on landing, and taking it by storm, having previously made the accessary pre. partitions for that purpose. At day light on the morning of the Sth, I disembarked wiih Capt. Watts, of the Ephira, and the commanding °Ulcers, sea men, and marines, of the respective vessels; the first boats that landed were fired upon by the enemy's adv:niced post, and thcy then retreated to the battery ; we marched on to storm, but, from our appearance, the enemy thought proper to retreat, about eighty in number, so that we took the battety (which had six guns, twenty-lour pounders, :id surrounded by a wet ditch) without opposition; his Majesty's colours were then hoisted on the French flag-stair, And afterwards those of Hamburg!, on the castle of Kitzbuttle; we then dismounted the gates, and put them on hoard of vessels lying in the harbour, as well as several other small pieces of cannon, with all the shot and military stores. The battery was then mulermined, and, by a variety of explosions, blown up, I then gave the town of Cuxhaven in trust to the Civil Gavernor, and embarked all the seamen and marines. Two French gun-boats, with two guns each, which were lying in the harbour, were also taken posses:ion of. Although we did not meet with thr oppositiou that was ex; peeted (as the French had sometimes five hundred men, at other times about one hundred, at Cuxhaven), yet I think it my duty to inform you of tile activity and good conduct of the Command ers, Commanding Officers, seameu, and marines, on this occa sinn, as it was partly from their regularity, in forming and marching, that induced the enemy to retreat. Capt. Pruett, of the Briseis, coannaaded afloat, and got that vessel under weigh to assist, had it been necessary. * Mthquito (sloop), Briseis, Ephir', Bruizer (gun vessel,) Centinel, Mazer, Pincher, Basilisk, Patriot (schuyt), Alert (cutter).
