Don Jose Maria P undo, the Charge d'Affaires of our Court ut Lisbon, has at length succeeded in getting Don Jose M aria Rodriguez, chief of the staff of Gen. Cannata, delivered up to Spain, under a good . escort. Rodriguez, who bad taken refuge in Portugal, is said to be deeply implicated in the alfair Cadiz, and his arrival alone was waited fur to bring it to a conclusion. MAHON (Mixon.), Nov. 29. The English and Dutch squadrons Ore here; but the Spanish, which we expected, have not arrived. We have in our port a vast number of vessels, belonging to our merchants, loaded with corn from the Black Saa, which, as well as the cargoes of many others that are expected, they hope they shall obtain permission to import into the Peninsula, as they have petitioned. This appears to be very reasonable, because all these enterprises were made bona fide, and long before it MI known that. the Cortes intended to prohibit the importation of Ibreign grain. If the request is not granted, many of our merchants will he ruined. BARCELONA, Dec. 5. Don Jose de Castelar has kit this city to-day for Valencia, being appointed political chief of that city, after having filled that office here from the time of our restoration to freedom. The Catalonians cannot behold without regret the departure of this magis trate, who front the beginning united in his favour the nishes of all the citizens, and who has since justified the hopes that good patribts have conceived of him. It appears that a house ut Perpignan has offered un asylum to the ex-patriotic Archbishop of Va 19neia. ORENSE. DEc. 7. The robbers continue to molest the inhabitants of this district, and within a short time we have heard of some great excesses. In general such is the state of the greater part of Galicia, that not a step can be taken out of the towns without risk ; and within these few days we have heard of em:siclerable depre. ilations having been committed on merchants, The banditti are always extremely well tamed. OVIEDO, . _ Three of our ciiizeUSWh;Werit in pursuit of the `tantlitti who lately showed themselves at thsibridge of Santalltuto, collected some brave olsliers, who were near Pula, and sacceeeled in titling five of these malefactors, two of whom were of the number of the leaders. One escaped soon after be was taken, bat the others were placed utaler a good escort. Important discoveries are expected front their via mioutions, It is said that priests, magistrates, alcadcs, and capitalists, are implicated in this affair. AtAnitip, tux. 13. Spoitsit Titatvr.-11•e have received important observations on various articles of the new tariff uf customs, and our atteutton has been called, among others, to those relative to iron heaps, ieltielt we receive from England and Ho' :md. These hoops are not mule in Spain , and what is more, the att of leaking theist is unknown ; wh,liee it results, that it will cost thrice as much to hoop a cask with lamps of the Peninsula as with furcigu onea. The expett,cs of carriage will be a little more, or at least us touch us front Englund, because., wo have not internal malls of commutticatioa, they .nitist be embarked from our northern 'ports for Catalonia, where theft: is the grcntcst consumption of them, Kid the freight front liiiboa is as groat or greater then thet thnn Nal:mouth. The sante observations will apply, ter the same lemons, to fine penned cettoC, wutela out At" 4. c -77d' Pater J3'l. manufacturers do not know how to execute. We readily agree that our industry should be protected, by hindering the competition of foreigners to the prejudice of our own manufactures, since, in spins of all theories, this is the conduct of the most en lightened nations. But, allowing that our manu factures ought to receive encouragement, we cannot beliave that this should authorise a monopoly to the injury of other interests that merit regard. These casks, which must be hooped at u triple expense, carry all over the world the fine brandies of Ileus, and this increase of expense may operate very unfa vourably on the sale of that moat important article. As fur the prohibition of fine printed cottons, it is equivalent to an express order to smuggle them into the kingdom. These cottons are so very gene rally used, that the women hardly wear any thing ' else at home, especially in some provinces. . In Ca talonia they cannot give these articles those bright and desirable colours which so much recommend them, nor have they that taste and elegance in the patterns which are their chief merit. NVill our fine ladies wear the stuffs which were formerly taken fut the Mulatto women of Rio de la Plata? DM!! AND FLANDERS MAIL. FRANKFORT, DEC. 14. . , Our accounts from Troppau of the Gth say, that the departure of the Emperors of Russia and Austria, which was announced as near at hand, as well ua that of all the ambassadors, is deferred fur an null• mites time. This seems to have been a sudden resolution, for a ratification made by the High Chamberlain of the Court to Count Suurau, in his quality of High Chamberlain of Bohemia and Aus tria un office which includes the function of Minister (of the Interior), announced that his Majesty the Emperor would return to Vienna by the Idth, and preparations were making in the Imperial Palace, which gave reason to suppose that the Emperor of Russia would take up his residence there. A Nuremberg,. Paper has an article, dated Lower Saxonv, which says, " A report is spread of a mar riage * between the Crown Prince of Sweden and a Princess of a Emily which is related to the most ancient and'powerful Royal Houses, and to which • the Swedish nation seems particularly attached." TROPPAU Dec, B. Count Sabolewsky, Privy Councillor to the Emperor of Russia, and Minister Secretary of State of the Kingdom of Poland, has arrived here; also Count Ouvaroff, Adjutant General to the Emperor Alexander, from St. Petersburgli. COPENHAGEN, Dec. 12. The examination relative to the affair of Dr. Damhe are still continued. Though the public hear .. nothing certain respecting the contents of the papers of this man, it is known that a smith has been arrested who bud fidse keys to the principal prisons of this city. It appears that Dr. Dandle has nut confined his conntxtions to the capital alone. STOCKHOLM, DEC. 5. Though tha supreme tribunal has pronounced its opinion that the King of Sweden is authorised to acquire landed property, The Courier of Stockholm, iu two of the lust numbers, opposes this opinion of the ritinuert, on several constitutional grounds. It remarks, that the idea of considering the King of Sweden 03 the first Stye:l6h citizen, is very well, if it procceda flow the King us au expression of the humility with which he contemplates his elevated situation : but if he is to be considered as such by his people, and introduced as such in the legislation, his high destination would be lost —The writer pro- • c, - •tals to show, that us tho King cannot, by any pos sibility, be considered as a citizol.• the law Of the 6th April, 1810, which declares every Swede, to whatever class of citizens he belongs, qualified to acquire lauded property in Sweden (4' every de scription, both iu tbo country and in the towns, is ma at alLapplie:tble to him ; and the King, as not ,lx•lutiging to any of the fetr estates, is no awe eon straiord to vaajuira landed prop e rty than he was lAtiore.
