Meanwhile we have several Insurgent privateers in sight which brave us to make prizes in the Strait, and seem to divide our preparations. This is our si tuation. Commercial houses in this city lave set-rived accounts from the Ilavannah • the writers of which express themselves It uh the greatest indignation on the report which was in eir rit ation there of the cess• •1 Cuba to England. They positively, that if the mother country should renounce that rich and important rainy, the inhabitants is (mild know bow to defend their liberty against the English, whom they do lint like. However, odd the writers, we flatter ourselves that these reports are without foundation, and circulated with insidienis perfidy, and with criminal intentions.

A large•tkuantity of Stock was sold on Teemlny, by orders from the country ; to one house in Bris tol were remitted 200,0001 , and to another in Newcastle, 150,0001. in Bank-notes. The sales were sensibly. felt on the Stock Exchange ; they were said to have been made by some banking esta blishments, under the apprehension of a run upon them. Letters from Scotland, received on Tuesday morn.. ing, state, that the par of exchange with England (45 days) will in future be rt.-bleed to 20 ; that the bankers have kal a general meeting, and h.al come to the ummimous resblution of giving draft: on London at 20 days after date, fin money lodged with them, in place of 45. days, the former method of money negotiations.

This legion, comprehending cavalry and inf:intry, is said to amount to .5 . ,000 men, completely equipped. But-such is the enthusiasm of the Irish in titvour of the cause of South America, combined with the po pularity of the General in that country, that if time were afforded, ten times the number might hare been easily raised. in despite of all the titlse rumours circulated, and all the base artifices employed to damp the ardent desire of the people to second this glorious struggle fur liberty: It is a_remarkable fact, that there are now living within the ciremit of half a mile than the sent of • Earl St. Vincent, in Essex, eight persons, including his Lordship, the youngest of whom is 80 years old, and whose united ages amount to 691 years..

Numerous seizures of paper, with false stamps on the wrapper onclasing each ream. have been recently made in Bristol. It is impossible for a consumer to .detect the false stamps; but the paper is forfeited, - although the shopkeeper may be ignorant of the fraud. I'aper of this description is purchased from persons who are in the habit of offering it at almost every shop in the city, at prices greatly below those of the honest manufacturer ; and we are assured that scarmly a ream of such paper pays the regular duty. LFEDS, JULY 6.—Y estentny evening the Requi. sitionists for Reform waited upon the Mayor of this town, pursuant to previous appointment, fur his Worship's answer to their application; when he gave them some most wholesome advice, and pointed out the inutility of the proposed meeting, and the impossibility that it could tend to any good purpose; that it was, in fact, more likely to prove highly in lurious to them, and dingerous to the community at arge. He said he had given their request the most attentive consideration, and should be most Imppy, if it were in his power, to aflhrd relief and assistance to the numerous unemployed workmen: but after the most mature deliberation with his bcothia ma gistrates, his duty to the public at large forced him to refuse calling the required meeting.
