A Dutch Mail has arrived this morning, but it brings no intelligence of importance. At Berlin, it appears, disputes have broken out among the Jews there, respect- ing the form of divine service, in consequence of which the new Temple was closed, and several law-suits have taken place. From Bale, we learn that Mr. Vaughan, Istely appointed Minister from England to the Helvetic Confederition, arrived at Berne on the 20th ult. We Lave this morning received American papers to the 171 h of April, from which we extract the following; —Boyer, President of Hayti, has issued a Proclama tion. dated 20Ih March, prohibiting from the Ist May next, all relations and intercourse by merchant ves.els belonging to individuals, between Hayti and the differ ent islands of Archipelago, to the windward and the Leward. LA OUlRA.—Captain Laurence, of the schooner Sub-1 lett•, informs us that all goods imported from Old Spain in 60 days after bis sailing, would be confiscated. Com madore Daniels arrived on the Ist March. Bolivar was on his way to Caraccas. From Vera Cruz, Feb. 22.—0 n the 21st ult. a fleet of 7 sail of barges, and a brig and schooner sailed from the Island of Sacrifice, for Tampisco, with about 300 troops, commanded by St. Anna in person. It is su, - posed their object was to intercept the shipment of a large sum of money from Mexico. Captain Lee,from Trinidad, informs us that a piratica l brig from Havanna, wi , ll 156 men, took possession of the Fort at Nenvitas, and burnt every thing it contained. They also cut two American schooners out of the har bour, and the crews were no doubt murdered. The Coast swarms with Pirates. The British sloop of war Thames, and an armed schooner had touched at Trinidad, and Railed to the leeward. From the Baltimore Patriot, April 10th.—We have just received the following authentic end important in telligence : Max ico, Pen. 23.—0 n the 18th instant, an Expres s arrived here from the mountains, stating that Bravo had taken possession of Ouernaraca, with a force of 3,000 men. His Imperial Majesty summoned all his forces in this city and vicinity, amounting to about 1600 infantry and cavalry, and placed himself at their head. He, not eager to court a battle, has taken a position 10 leagues from this ; since which he has experienced a desertion of 200 men, with 14 pieces of cannon, and 70,000 cartridges. While I am writing, a friend has come to inform me, that the Fmperor having had his Council of State yester_ day, at his encampment, dehatinf on the necessary steps to be taken to secure to him his Throne, came to the de. termination of retiring until Congiess would re-assem ble and decide on his fate. A new Secretary has been chosen, named Valle, and several new officers. Thus we are at present without a Government. All the prisoners were released last night by the soldiers. Paris papers to the 11th instant have come to hand. The Monitcur announces the following TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES. Continuation of the telegraphic dispatch of the Major- General, dated May 6, Are P. x. ; communicated at seven, P. M. :- " General Molitor had on the 14th, a division on the Clots, and some troops towards Catalaynd and Daroes. " Ballasteros continues his retrogade movement by Ter uel and Molina ; the Royalist garrison of the citadel of Ja ea has taken possession of this town." (TRANSMITTED FROM BAYONNE, MAT 8, 2{ P. M.) " Briviesci, May 7, 24 r. N. " THE MAJOR•OENBRAL TO THE MINISTER OP WAR. "The head-quarters of his Royal Highness the Duke of Angouleme hal just arrived. The enthusiasm of the Spa niards increases more and more." In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, on Fri. day, the Minister of the Interior presented a Prociams. lion from the King, ordaining the closing of the Session of both Chambers. The Deputies initatitently dispersed amid cries of" Viue le Rol!" These papers contain accounts from Seville to the 27th nit. On the 23d the Deputies having arrived in suffici ent numbers for transacting business, the session of the Extraordinary Cortes was resumed, when the President addressed the Assembly on the removal of the sittings from Madrid to Seville. " Amidst thousands of obsta cles," said he, " and in spite of those who have raised them up againgst us, we have just given to al . Europe a further example, calculated to undeceive it, by removing with calm deliberation from the Dania of ,tbe Meozanares, so fertile in heroic virtues, to the vast and delicious plains of Guadalqui►ir, whither we have, with the assistance of the wo , thy Ge neral who accompanied us, awl those brave Spaniards whose courage and discipline merit eternal praise, ton ducted liberty, as it were, in triumph.—lfere," continued lie, "we will fearlessly await those propositions which never yet have been made, but the making of which has been feigned to seduce the weak ard the inconsiderate. We repeat that in framing our Constitution, we never meant to leave it exposed to all the fluctuations of ca price, nor pretended to confer on it an unchangeableness —an eternity, which belongs not to human things ; but that, when it shall be convenient for the nation so to do, we will consider, according to fixed and precise forms, the alterations which time and experience may render necessary; and that we will not permit any other power on earth to arrogate to itself a sort of initiative which confounds and subverts the most sacred rights." After some further observations he concluded with declaring TIIE STATESMAN amidst the loud applause of the numerous spectators, that the Representatives of the nation were ready to defend with the sword the temple which they bad raised to li berty. Despatches from the Minister of the Interior announced that the Ring had accepted the resignations of Don Ma nuel Garcia Barron, Minister of the Interior, and Don Jose Manuel Badillo, the Ultra-Marine Minister, ap pointing in their places Don M. Marriategni and Don Manuel Alugnoz. Senor Arguelles moved that the Ministers be directed to make known to the Cortes the state of the relations of Spain with foreign Cabinets, and at the same time to propose measures for repelling the aggression of France, the Cortes being prepared to grant all the means which may be required of them for that object. The Minister of the Interior stated, that the Government had prepared a Manifesto to the nation on the subject of the aggres' sion of France, but that some official informatien was still wanting before it could be published. Senor Sanchez made the following motion :—" The Spanish territory being violated by French troops in a manner unheard of in this enlightened age, I wove that the Cortes resolve that the Government shall, without loss of time, and without waiting for the accounts of the several Ministers, propose measures to provide for the wants of the war which we have to maintain for our independence and national honour, without prejudice to the examination into whisk the Cortes way afterwards enter, for the ordinary affairs of the administration." After a long discussion, which had fur its object to ren. der the terms of the motion more clear and precise, it was adopted by a great majority. In the sitting of April 2t. • mesqsge from the Minister for Foreign Affairs was read. It included two copies of Ole fol lowing DECLARATION OF WAR AGAINST FRANCE. . _ . " 01Are of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. ' " The King has been pleased to address to me the follow ing decree : " Whereas the Spanish territory has been invaded by the troops of the French Government without a declaration of war, and without any of those formalities which custom has sanctioned ; and whereas this act of aggression can be view ed in no other light than as a violation of the rights of na tions, and an open commencement of hostilities against Spain. I, being bound to repel force by force., to defend the integrity of the. States of the Monarchy, and to chastise the audacity of the invading enemy. have resolved, after consult ing the Council of State, pursuant to to the provision in ar ticle 326 of the Political Constitution. to declare war, as in fact Ido now declare it. against France, Wherefore 1 charge and command all the competent authorities to carry on hostilities by sea and by land against France, by all the means in their power, consistently with the law of na ' lions. &c. " In the Alcazar of Seville. April 23. (Subscribed by the Royal Sign Manual.) " To Dan Evaristo San Miguel." A communication from the Minister of the Interior announced that the King had accepted the resignation of Don Sebastian Fernandez Vallesca, Minister of Grace and Justice, and that lie had made the following ap pointments, viz :—Dun Jose Maria Calatrava, Minister of the Interior; Dun Muriano Zorraquin, Minister for War. The War Committee presented a plan of a Decree to authorise the Ali Commaoders of Districts to orga nize Guerilla corps throughout the kingdom, and all Spaniards to organize them in provinces in which troops of the enemy were to be found. In the Sitting of the 25th, the shave Decree was adopted, and another intro laced for the purpose of com pelling towns and villages subject to the conscription to fill np their quotas, and supply the places of deserters, and subjecting them to penalties in case of their failing to do so. Another Decree was proposed, for the forma tion of a legion to consist of Foreigners, the officers to hold the same rank as in their own countries, and to be promoted as in the Spanish army—to be called " THE LIBBRAL FOREIGN Lamm." The Nuevo Mario of Madrid, from 27th to 30th ult. has been received direct by express, from which we ex tract the following :—On the 1 ith, at five in the morn- ing, our troops were attacked by the factions, between Torrente and Picacenti. The number of the latter was about 6,000, and that of the Constitutionals may have amounted to 1.000, between infantry and cavalry. The result has :been to cause the enemy the loss of 400 men, without our losing more than 100. In Valencia there was a most vivid fire of heavy artillery. The Political Chief of the province of Jativa, in a de spatch dated from Alicant on the 17th, states that he had just received, by an extraordinary courier, an official communi sation, in which it is said that, at four o'clock in the even ing of the 12th, General Mina entered Tarragona, where he remained half an hour, and that be proteeded to form a junction with a division of 4,000 men which was hastening in the direction of Valencia. By another despatch, from the Political Chief of Ali cant, dated the 18th, it appears that Valencia continued to defend itself heroically ; that the division of Martin, which had suffered some slight misfortune, had rallied, and that information of assistance from Catalonia was confirmed front Vinaraux. Bertram de Lis was in Al cira with some force. Illanni D. APRIL 28.—Jean Latana, who has been ap pointed Political Chief of Madrid, has issued an address to the inhabitants of that capital, in which he calls on them to unite against the interior and exterior enemies of the nation, and to prove their obedience to the laws and their respect to the legitimately constituted autho rities.

(PROM TUC DURUM EISNINO 201 T OP SATURDAY.) This day, at one o'clock, one of the most numerous, and certainly one of the most respectable Meetings of the Catholics ever witnessed in this city, was held at Towosbend-street Chapel, Lord KILLEEN in the Chair. After some very pertinent and judicious observations addressed to the Meeting , by his Lordship, it was -moved and carried that Mr. O'Gorman should act as Secretar y. Sir Eilw. Bellew, in a short Speech, moved an Ad dress to the King. Mr. O'Gorman read the Address, which was unani mously adopted by the Meeting, with an understanding that the Committee should have the power to make some verbal alterations. _ O'Conor Don moved a resolution of Thanks, express ing, in very terse and emphatic language, to Mr. Plunkett.—Carried unanimously amid the most enthu siastic cheering. A similar motion was moved and carried, thanking Lord Donoughmore. Mr. Hugh O'Con tier moved a general Resolution to the Parliamentary Friends of the Catholic Claims; and was supporting it with great energy when our Reporter left the Meeting. Four o'clock. A llegolation was proposed and carried, for the forma. Lion of an Association of Catholics, for the general ma„ nagement of their alf4irs.—Mr. O'Connell left spooking CATHOLIC PRIESTHOOD. —The Judge., as we intimated on Thursday, having Baton the case of Mr. Houlton, the Moate Catholic Clergyman, who was illegally sentenced to twelve wapitis' imprisonment, and a fine of 401.' by the Assistant Barrister and certain Magistrates of West meath, an order was dispatched by the Lord Lieutenant for his immediate discharge. [This case was that of a priest confessing a Catholic woman, supposed to be on her death bed, against the will of her Protestant husband. The Magistrates, it was al ' leged, refused to hear the woman's evidence, after receiv ing that of her husband; and the clergyman, found guilty of an assault upon both, was sentenced as above.] Mr, Hallanan, the Catholic Curate of Ballinhasig, who was so cruelly libelled by The Cork Adoertieer, leas expressed his intention of seeking legal redress. He has caused an affidavit to be sworn and published, touch ing the house which the Cork paper had said he burnt, but which was reall•• burnt by the woman who swore the affidavit. The particulars on Tuesday.—(Dub lin Evening Post —Saturday .) Yesterday the King received a Tisit from the Doke of Clarence. His Royal Highness the Duke of York left York House, en Sunday, to attend the lest Sprint Meeting at Newmarket. His Royal Highness returns to town on Thursday.

The Prince Regent from Bengal at. rived off the Isle of Wight the 9th instant. She left the new anchorage the 29th of December, the Cape of Good Hope the 31 of March, and St. Helena the 20th of March. Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Bilbao, dated the Ist instant:—" The English brig 7'hais, Mills, laden aids brandy, from Charente for London, is arrived here, detained by a privateer. The English Consul is endeavouring to liberate both vessel and cargo. Seven teen French vessels, with provisions for the French army in Spain, arrived at this port on the 26tb, 28th, and 29th ult." In addition to the account of the captnre of the Thais, tte knowledge that a French vessel of war, stationed off the Lizard, has detained, anti compelled to bring to, several British vessels, has occasioned considerable con versation on 'Change. Letters from Cadiz state, that the Veloz-Marisna, a mer chantman from Vera-Crux and the Havannah, having on board a mildon and a half of piastres, and colonial produce to the value of halt a million, was captured on the 9th of Feb. by a French ship at the entrance of the Bahama chan nel, end carried into Martinique. The Espectador, in a long article on the subject of this prize, strongly reprobates the French Government, and says that the capture is contrary to the laws of nations, as war had not been declared.--[This is probably the ship aken by the Jean Bart.] Saturday the Bathurst sloop, Captain P. P. King, ar rived at Deptford from New South IVales, Capt. King, son of the former Governor of that settlement, has then some years employed in completing the survey of that ex tensive continent. The Bathurst is the first vessel of war built in that part of the world, and is entirely composed of wood the growth of the colony. An examination of the whole structure and quality of the timbers is directed to be made. The Griper sloop arrived at the Note on Saturday, and sails in a few days for Spitzbergen, and if possible to the east coast of Greenlan I, with Captain Sabine, for completing the astronomical and other observations if Unit scientific observer. FRtNCH DiPILOMATIC A RRANOEMENTS.—The French Government, already calculating on the success of its arms in Spain, has appointed a new Ambassador at Ma drid. The following diplomatic arrangements, in. lud ing the one above-nieotioned, may be regarded as cor rect:—The Marquess de Talaru, Peer of France, is ap pointed Ambassador of France at Madrid. He will cont inence his journey at the same time with the Ambassa dors of the Allied Powers. The Prince de Polignac is appointed Ambassador to London. The Viscount de Marcellos is appointed Minister Plenipotentiary and Charge d'Affaires at Constantinople. M. Hyde de Neu ville, who was long ago appointed Ambassador to Con stantinople, will not set off for a year or more. He is very discontented in not having been sent to Madrid or London.—(Morning Paper.) Captain Henry Dixon, son of Colonel Dixon, of the First West York Militia, late of Gledhow, had, on the I lib of last month, a very narrow escape with hit life from the hands of an Italian banditti. The Captain, it appears, was travelling with a friend about 8 o'clock in the evening of that day, and was within about three quarters of s mile of Faenze,when their carriage was stopped by a hand of foot robbers, and they wore dragged to the ground, and with knives at their throats told that they would be murdered if they moved an inch or made the least noise. While in this situation, the banditti rifled their carriage, and took out of the pockets, note., and gold, to the amount of 3301. with a number of drawings and presents, intended for the friends of the travellers in England. Having effected their pur pose, the villains made off and escaped with their booty. We are happy to add, that neither the Captain nor hi s ' friend sustained any personal injury. —(Leeiht Mercury.) FOROtRY. — A new species of forgery has been practised in this city, of which a specimen was brought to us on tin ' nudity. A note of the late Totaey Bank, with the word Tolzey covered by the name of another Hank, cut front one of the notes, was successfully passed.

The purges of the London Taney seem to have recovered from the effect of Neat's former prowess, and the pluck of the owners appears to resume its sway in a like ratio. Bet ting has rue high during the t tst week on the important bat tle, which will be decided to-morrow week, between the rivals fed the championship, Neale and Spring. The con lideoce of the milling cores of Bristol is unshaken in their favourite hero, who is in training at Marlborough, in com pany with Harry Harmer, and, as report says, in equally high condition land spirits. Tile friends of Spring are not less conedent ; and though the assurance of Hickman re ceived so severe a check from the not less manly but more t modest prowess of Neate, yet is the same system of chaffing bad recourse to, and the ssme presumptuous toue assumed by Spring, with a view to cheek lie ardour of his adversary. This may be fair, but it is a weapon that may be bandied by both parties; and if adopted generally would engender a spirit of personal technic in these combats, which would speedily call for the interference of the tegislatere.—(Srisioi Mercury, May 12.) During the violent gale on Thursday morning. one o f the venerable elms, which have weathered the *culprits of more than a century of winters, in the Orange-gruse. Beth, was blown down to the ground. The fruit trees in this neighbourhood have, we understand, sustained considerable injury from the violence of the wind,—(Brie tol itercury ) DREADFUL FIRE IN Naw STREET, COVENT GARDEN.— Lest night, a little before 12 o'Clock, an alarming tire broke out in the premises of Mr. Gotty, pastry-cook, New-street. Covent-garden, which, from the narrowness of the street. sal the rapidity with which the dames extended. threatened destruction to the whole neighbourhood. The Ire com menced in the shop, and in a short time the interior of the house was completely consumed. The house adjohdog having no party wall, was olio much injured, as was that of Mr. Greases, cheesernonger, opposite. which was on fire several times, and but for the speedy arrival of the engines. and the great exertions of the firemen, mum inevitably hate fallen a prey to the flames. In Goodwin's-court, at the back of New-street, a wooden house was burnt down, and several other buildings were considerably injured.—On the first alarm being given, the unfortunate inmates were sere io great distress, and in a state of nudity, at the windows: be', with the exception of an aged female, who occupied the upper room, and whose infirmities rendered her incapable of exertion, they were fortunately rescued from their peril' ous situation. The unfortunate woman alluded to was ob s-rved lit a dreadful state of alarm at the upper window. A ladder was speedily procured, arid a butcher quickly as cended and got hold of her arm, but site could not be pre' 'Ailed upon to quit her position. A sheet was spread out below, and she was loudly urged to endeavour to save her self by leaping from tae window ; but whether presented by her infirmities, or completely overpowered by fear, she continued clinging t the window-frame, while the room m which site was, presented a complete blaze of fire. The feelings of the bystanders at this nacment n:ay be better con• ceived than described. The intrepid butcher agaiu ascended In the midst of the flames, but before he reached the top of 11w:bidder the r.iaf fell in, and the hapless victim was se en Do more. About two o'clock the fire was greatly sabduse , hut at twelve this day the ensines were still playing spea the ruins. ANOTHER FlRE.—Last night about ten o'clock.
