ot i b ly deseribed,as to induce a doubt of the truth the story. It is a faithful picture of an ill gt.t , pan tomime, by a set of strolling players, ut a Rory barn, in England. We have received New York Papers to the 14th last.—No account of the arrival of the joins Adams had been received in that city at thlt date.-. 4 re port preceded that Congress would he convened in t he prevent month, and that Mr. PININEY would be recAled.—A .rupture with France was consi dered inevitable, and our Minister. Mr. JACKSON, i t i. s aid, had received the honours of a public din ner at Boston. We this day resume our extracts from the Spanish p a yers brought by the Cadiz Mail which an ived on Wednesday. Among the documents which we hove estaacted is a Royal Order, convoking the extraor. miry and general Cortes of the kingdom in the oath of Augu st nests and commanding that the esnon ,hall commence as soon us the major part f the Members of that Body shall hove assembled u the Isle of Leon. Another public instrument of he Council of Regency declares a paper, purport •o4 to b e , I{,,yal Order respecting the commeice ti:th America, void and Nugatory, and a third from the Superior Junta of Catalonia, inflicts heavy penalties on those who shall be disco v ered trutficking in estates belonging to natives, which, by the suc cessful progress of the French arms, have devolved into tho possession of the enemy. All the accounts received by the latest posts from Cataloitia, Arragon, VJencia, and Murcia, are fa vourable : the dates frost thence are as recent as to the (oh, 7th, rub, and itth of haat month. It is asserted, that the inhabitants of those Provinces are noolved rather to die titan to submit to French tyranny, arid that they have iiirre Lied their eicer. tions to repel the troops of the Usurper. The va liant Catalano, we are told, have recovered from the 'momentary idiom occasioned by the surrender of Lerida, and are prepared to take ample vengeance for the outrages which violence and perfidy had committed. It is stated, that the enemy was disap pointed in his expectations to enterM &psi nenza with out resistance, and that the courage and fidelity of the Spaniards in that neighbourhood had shone forth sith the same splendour by which they were distinguished at llo,talrich. It is added, that the skirmishing parties in the kingdom of Murcia had swept off tie enemy in various situations, and that all the armed leod;es of tlatt description were ex hibiting through the country prodigies of valour. All the letters from Cadiz are written in u high tone of coofideuer, as to their meatus of resisting the French. Tim 111041 perfect security was felt. • Provisions were plentiful ; and succours daily ar riving. Flour, which, on the 14th ult. was at QS shillings a barrel, had, at the date of these ac- cants, fallen to eieteen shillings. The intelli gence from the interior, and particularly from La Mancha, was very favourable. Wherever the Preach appeared in small bodies, they were always attacked, and generally cut off. Their convoys, in consequence of the uncommon vigilance rod acti vity of the Spanish .irregulars and peasantry, were obliged m be protected by triple escorts ; and these were often Made - quote to sae theme to their desti nation.

We understand that six Banks in the West of &slam: have stopped paymeot, in consequence of the bankruptcy of Messrs. CRICK MOOD and Cu. On Monday a iletudiment of the 9.3:1 Light Dra goons, u also a number of sick, vrtiiiisiled, and in valid soldiers, from our army in Purtuoil. were Imied from ou hoard the Camilla transport at Ply mouth, from Lisbon, which place the left 4 24 i silt.

There were on board the transports a number of deserters from the French army. The expedition front Cadiz to Ronda. mentioned to Swirls Papers received on Wednesday, is stated, to private letters, to be part of a combined plait fur raising the siege of Cadiz. It consisted of about 5000 Spaitiards, under the command of Gen. Lacy. division set out ou the :Mtis, and, at day-break, sei the they came upon the enemy by anywise.
