lodtdertg. LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15. Three o'clock, p. m. We are assured from Seville, that an Ambassador from the United States of America, on board the Hornet sloop of war, has brought with him.a formal order from the Government of • Washington, to de clare war against Ferdinand VII. in case of a refu sal on the part of the Cabinet of Madrid to ratify the Treaty respecting the cession of the Floridas. .It is furtlatr stated, on the same authority, that, in the event of a refusal on she part of the King of 'Spain, to ratify the Treaty, all the English Officers absent from their country will be recalled .vithout delay, as the British Government has determined to talc a part in the war in Lwow of. Spain. Upon this point it is unnecessary to express any opinion until the intelligence respecting it assumes a more authentic cbaracw. The yelluw , ccver continues its ravages in Anda lusia, but .the latest accounts from Cadiz represent the number of deaths as rather diminishing than increasing. There died on the 19th, .106 persons; on the 20th, 105; and on the 91st, 85; leaving the sick on that day 11,602. The milady increases at Puerto Santa Maria. The distresses of the people in the open country, and of those who leave the the towns to atoittthe contagion, are much increased by the robbers, who infest all the neighbouring laces. A dreadful fire broke out on the i 3th of October, on the mountains near Xeres de la Fron- tera, traversing the country for the space of five leagues, and destroying all kinds of property in its terrific. course. It .is stated that 23 persons have fallen victims to its violence, and that 80 others have been severely burned; 368 horses and mules have been .iestroycd, and 136 severely injured, and 474 cows, sheep, and goats, have also fallen victims. By our report of tho proceedings in the -Court of King's Bench on Saturday last, it will be seen that • sentence was passed upon the persons connected with .the bribery business in Cornwall and Devonshire. The punishment imposed on Sir M. Lopes is cer tainly much more severe tlutn we believe was gene rally anticipated, ,but fig own parts ► we only lament that it cannot. be inflicted upon all the other great sinners who, unfortunately for the country, have committed the same offence with more dexterity. " But ltWe Rogues must hang in chains, " That great ones Liay enjoy their gains." We presume that the Baronet thought, with Lord Castlereagh, that the notoriety of the erime might, in some degree, palliate the commission of it, and that reserve and coyness but ill suited an act which was " notorious as the sun in noon day." The example, however, of his mistake -have in I..ture the effect—not of deterring others from com. mating the same crime, but of compelling them to commit their sins with more caution and less pub. 4c:ty. C'JLT:f OF KING's BENCH, SATURDAY, No:. 13. --- The Attorney-General moved for the juiljusent of the Court on Sir Manasseh Lopez and others, who were convicted at the lasi Devonshire Assizes, of bribery awl corruption, iu procuring the returns of Meinocrs to par liament. The reading of the es idence, by %Ir. Justice Hotroyd and Mr. Justice Best, on the ilifkrent indict ments occupied touch time. Mr. Justice Bayley. after an eloquent and impressive address, runounced the sentenc e . F or t h e ot le nce cornwall, a fine of 13,0 w!. and impriso ttttt ent for et Calendar months iii Exec r jail ; and lin that in De s Josiiire, a fine of !:,i,P001., and further imprisonment in lite saute jail for three calendar months. Thomas Devonshire, who began to take the bribery oath was sentenced to six months imprison rwrit, in Riiihniti jail ; and the tither eighteen iadiesduats tv ti.me 111 , Mti1 . 3 impriumnient a ch, iu the saute jail.

It stated, that rule had been put 11110 her hands by Richard Cathie. her husband, calling 'you her to show cause why art inf.4inatiott sh”uld not be exhibited against her lier name, however, was not mentioned specifically ; and 'tier lure she thought the role, in point of legal strict ness, ought 114. t to be blade absolute. The Lord Chin' . Justice to Mr. Gurney.—liave you an allidat it of service? Mr. Gunn y—Yes, my Lord, of personal service upon the dtlendatit. The Court intimated that this service was sufficient. In the paper which contaitied this objection, there was a memorandum, directing Mre..Carlite, if this ob jection should not avadl, to turn over, and on the second sad et further arguments were stated, as grounds to the Court tOr refusing to wake the rule absolute. The first was, that the trial which her husband had published was a lair and iiiii.artial account .of the proceedings which had taken place upon his trial, and that intretore s h e was peetectly joatified iu seudi..g it !oral to the world Iu support .of thi- propostion she cited the ease of " Come v. Walter,' in-which it was held that the pub lication of a fair report of what occuaed in a court of Justice was perfectly legal. Hit husband's ohject in reading Paine's " Age ui lie/isms nit his trial was to show that he had no immoral inn. mho) ; and that in pointot fact he had not comntited any ()Hence against the laws of his country. The cases of the " King and Williams," and of the "Xing and Daniel Isaac Eaton" had been published, and to these no exceptions had been taken. She had always entertained for ber hus— band the highest respect, and had every confidence that he would not direct her to do that which had an i-nnio ral tendency. She had upon this, as upon every other occasion, acted under his direction, and was unconscious of having infringed any law which had for its object the well-being of society. Upon these grounds she ventured humbly to suoinit to the Court, that the tide obtained against her ought to be discharged. Mr. Justice Best.--What isthelitle of the publication?
