The account of the Queen s health, received `,atur •day was, that " her Majesty is much the saint."—Some alarming reports were - in circulation yesterday, but they %rare happily without foundation. The Princess Augusta lest her Royal Mother after breakfast in a comfortable 'state, and at= to London. Her royal nig:mess re turned again in the afternoon. We have received American Papers to the 4th ult. containing the articles of capitulation agreed upon be t , een General Jackson and the Governor of Pensacola. - ily• these articles it is stipulated that the garrison, and ~ , nne persons connected with the civil administration of Temecula, shall he conveyed to Havannah, the troops to march out with all the honour:: of war. With re spect to the causes of this capture, we are at length provided with slme explanation, which will throw a little light upon the subject. It appears from a proclamation issued by General, Jackson, dated the 28th of May, that the deiredvions -a; the Seminole Indians, upon the frontier settlements of the United States, have occasioned this proceeding. epain was not ele to restrain .those incursions, there-.. fore Pensacola was seized, andis te be held by Ameriett till the former Puma " can furnish military streng , .ll tafEcient to enforce existing treatiea." This condition i:: probably one of those referred to in the ip,tl: ankle of the capitulation. It is cviO.eat, however, both fmm the terms of this Proclamation, mid the tenor of the capitulation, that the seizure of Penftic;;La 'has not . arisen, as seine of our contemporaries; have supposed,• 11'0711 any diplomatic arrangements Letween the two Governments. If such had been the case, a quiet and formal surrender would have been made on the part of the Spanish authorities, instead of a hostile attack by the Araeriean General, and a subseyeat military capi tulatioo. Whether the proceedings m? 4n Indian tribe, - were really the exclusive motives to t.l:s step on the part .of United States, time will show.le National Intel-ri g:72cer of the 4th of July, talks of a rumour, which, if true, would tend greatly .to discredit those motives This rumour is; that General.jaason was 4‘ pv,:cding .to capture the almost impregnable fortress of St. Au gastine, the garrison of which consisted only of about 400 men." St Augustine, is the capital of East, as Pensacola is of %Vest Florida ; and the possession of those two places would render the ultimate acquisition 0f the Floridas themselves of easy performance. The following was received ut Lloyd's yesterday. cifice of the lzAlti:norc Patriot. July 6, 1 p. "The schooner Colonel George Arrnatead, Gatechair, arrived here from Vie I lavannah in nine days.

A letter from the Cupe of Good Hope, dated the 6th of May, str.tes, that by an areival there front Calcutta, accounts were received of the 20th of February, " thus Lord Hastings had signed a peace with I-lolkar and S:iu►lia:l, and that the troops were ordered into can tonments." We give this day, a full and interesting account of the trial of Humey, at Maidstone, for the murders of r . .r. Bird and hislousekeeper, ut Greenwich. After a very long and patient investigation, the crime was brought.honte to the wretched m;:n, in a manner, so satis . ::,:tory to the Jury, that tiicy .:most immediately rc:•.:::ic verdict of— (;J:ii.t.;;, Dfc - ronnAsrees AT :\IANCItErr CR, &C.—The follcw ing is front the Cheskr Chro:tide received yesterday.— We arc sorry to learn, that most alarming symptoms of insubordination have been manifested by the discon tented catton-spiuners, Re.—Throughout the whole of the week, they .have assembled in great .numbers— some say to the amount of tenor twelve thousand men' —and paraded the sheets of Manchester ; and .it is supposed, from fitods previously formed, they have been enablA to provide themselves with foal. The ingis tracy, however, have not hem-inactive; they have been preparing fur a more alarming change, which was fully.' expectei to tul:c place, when the money which they mist 1 was exhausted. Accordingly, measures %acre• taken t' cs::eitible the military immisliately, iu.case of necessity ; and tir this purpose, routes were lodged in the hands of several of the Magistrates by the Coin- . mender-in-Chief of the District, directing the concen tration of a considerable force. These precautionary steps, it would seem, have not been unnecessary ; for this. morning, an order was received tirs the immediate march of a strong detachment of the 95th regiment, in garrison here ; and at a quarter past one this day, .they marched past our office en their way to Manchester, via Warrington. The precise c. tuse of this movement is not known here." We are happy to add, however, that no disturbances have uatually broken out at %lancheiver, or its ti:lgh bourhood ; but, in vonsequencesof - the continuance of !;m> large a body of journeymen voluntarily out of employ, the Magistrates of Manchester have thought it prudent to have military force near at hand, lest any riot s!iofilml break out ; and at their deice, Sir John Byng has de tached some troopi to oancliester and its vicinity. Flanders and. Dutch mails to the 28th tilt. bring the curious, and perhaps we might add, unexpected intelli gence, that his Grace the Duke of Wellington has sac seeded in his appeal against M. Bu:;s:lier, author of the libel upon Lis Crace ; the Court of Cessation, in its sitting of Monday last, haviOg reversed the judgment of the tribanal at Ghent, :mud declared that the article which is the subject of yrosecution does " bear the character of calumny." The Court, therefore, sen tences M. f.fasscher to a month's ieiprisonment, to in terdiction of his civil rights fur five years, to a tine of twenty five florins, and to •the costs of the two trials, in lieu of damages. A clause of the punishment, is us follows:—" Fire hundred copies of the sentence may be printed, at the expense of M. Buss-her, in what ever part of the kingdom the Duke of Wellington shall please." The French papers just received crintz:n a letter pro fessing to be from the head quarters at Cumbray; whit!. asserts positively, and indeed somewhat angrily, that, in spite of every thing stated to the contrary by the English journals and other papers, the army of Occupation will quit France towards the end of Sep -tember or beginning of October. A letter from Rum: states, that the Coont de St. Lea (Louis Buonaparte) has instituted an action for divorce against • his wifo, before the Court called the Congregation del Uncilio. Such is the secrecy with which the process is carried on, that silence is imposed on all persons concerned with the proceedings, under pain of excommunication. It is said that the Countess, who is at present at the baths of Pisa, will not employ any counsel, but that the dcfcntor cr-of.cio will merely oppose the action pro forma. By advice* received front Rio Janeiro to the 18th of May, we learn, that on the 25th of the preceding month a royal decree was issued, establishing a new tariff of . duties upon various commodities imported into the Bra ', ails. Wines and brandies, Portuguese and foreign, are the articles chiefly atfeeted by.the tariff. the duties on port wine de - Feitoria, in lieu of all former iniposts ' are 12,000 reis per pipe, port wine do Ramo 10,000, Ma- . deira .12;000, all other Portuguese wines 9,600. brandy. 20,000, bottled liqueurs per dozen 800. Foreign wines per pipe 85,000 reis, bottled 1,600 reis per dozen, brandy 50,000, bottled liqueurs 12,400 reis per do zen, and foreign vinegar double the former duty. The foreign wines, Sec if imported in Portuguese vessels, and fur Portuguese account, will be entitled to a dis count of 25. per cent.—Englishman.

Acc.nding to this plan, the words necessary to express the obligatiori to pay the 'bearer cf the note are to be white, on n black ground, but the black ground to consist of lines of letter-press, ..composed with a•ery small type• of a pe culiar fount ; the face of the eln.ractr being male as large as the body, the.lines of the ground will appear compact and regular, and will still be perfectly legible wLen -c/usely examined. The whole letter-pros may form eithera single story, or a collection -of &Allelic , ' sentences. 'I he words of the premissury part of the note are to be produced by cuttinz the letters out or the black ground, so that when the note is printed, the white char..eters will cross the black lines in a great number of places ; the. points of intersection will ~Le easily recognised by the public in cousNuence of the words through which they will pass being known, and thus a inean3 of detecting forgery on inspection will ho afiiirded On Monday laFt a private order was issued by till 'Chief Cashier of the Bank of England, to susiwn.l fur the present the issuing of sovereigns and half-sow reigns, and to substitute guineas and silver in lieu •thereof. TIIIAL OF TIIE Monday the usual core many on this business took phtce. The Lord Chau tailor, and several members of the Privy Count il, met at ten o'clock, at the Exchequer, to swear in the Jury (who are taken from the Court of Assistants of the Gol !smiths' Company). After the Lord Chancellof had given the charge, they adjourned to the Court or the Duchy of Lancaster. As the monies to Le enunted and weighed were very considerable, the charge was not so long as timmrly, and must of the gentlemen had been lately on the same business. It was tour o'clock .before the assays were reported. The quantity of gold and silver melted was 21b. each, taken, in certain pro portions of the pie , xs of the coin, promiscuously from the monies thund in .the Pix, which amounted, In gold, to C. 4.1 i sovereigns. 2, , 219 halt ditto, and the gold coined was 15,434,(!:. bewsen July 15, 11417. and Ju:.c.

We have seen letters from that place, dated the ;sth June ; which, so flr from confirming that rumour, assert, that the.Govcrnor bad declared his intention not to interfere in any way with the intercourse between that port and the United States, until he should receive instructions on the subject from the Spanish Govern men t.—Englidunan.
