" 'lll. jEFFERSON." NEW YORK, SEPT. IS. A meeting was held at the City Coffee-house, Philadelphia, on Thursday, agreeable to public ad vertisement, on the , sobjea of Spanish wrongs. Upon the extent And measure of the wrong, them wee but one opinion, and a draft of a memorial to . Government on the subjeft was offered to the niee:- log by ease of the sufferers, which is referred to a committee of three Gentlemen to report. The memorial states, that from the aggression and depredation by Spanish subjeets, under the connivance of the Government and I.y the snbor dinate Governments of His Catholic Majesty, a considellible number of their fellow citiaens have been deprived of their p:ope: ty, suffered insult, in jury, and cruelty. Alive to those wrongs, repre sentations were made to the Government of the United Stater, while others vented ttreir sufferings ;nese public prints, the records of which will bear ample testimony of the severe afffiCtiuns of the citi zens from their sources. That during the 'continuance of these hostilities, in which Spain Way a pariy, and her own maritime commerce annihil tied, her policy diiFtated, and adopted a system different from the usual routine of Spanish traffic. The vessels of the United States were invited and permitted, our merchants were lured and en;,raged to convey the perishing produce of those colonies to the mother country. Many valuable vessels were engaged for that purpose, they arrived ir, their colonies and were Admitted ; but no sooner was peace known, than the former rigid system (.1 Spain was renewed, their owe licences abrogated, and these vessels, their off i cers and ,CA.

His M A EST ris expeted in town this day at the QU LEN'S House, where he will hold a Privy Council. It is said that the 7tscoao►.a's report of convicts at the Old 13.iley will be laid before and that a further prorogation at Parliament will also be takes into consideration. The fir Ids on Saturday experienced an advance of about a quarter per cent. Some attributed it to a report of immediate hostilities with Spain, in conse qnence of the refusal of the Court of Madrid to give a satisfadory answer to our Government. We have not, however, been able to learn that any intelli gence of so decisive a nature has h-en received from Spain. The rise in the funds was pre's-ibly affected by the accounts received in the morning from Ame rica. The New York Papers and private letters come down so late as to the Ist of Oariber, and con tain a variety of particulars, which make it probabl, that, in a war with Spain, we shall have America for our Ally. &lie of the circumstances which fsvour this presuntrtion use in a preceding column. A letter from OW C..rrespor.dent in 241 , .w York. dated Sept. SO, says,—.. We arc all upon the tenter-hook of expedatiws f a w.tr with Spain; a thing, 1 assure you. much wisl.el for I,y the great body of the Americans. , • ,: A messenger arrived a few days since from our Mi nister at Madrid, who brought dispatches which, it is said, put the question out of doubt. He was to follow in a few days after. The French frigates still remain in our harbour, bl.ckaded by the Leander and the Cambria's. It is generally supposed that they may escape in the winter, when the severity of the season will compel the Euglisii frigates to put into port." If the contents of a private letter from Fr anhfort, brought by the last liarnburgh Mail, be entitled to credit, the Cabinet of Vienna has discovered a new intrigue of Bona, aszte, of vital importance to the interests of the German Empire. It is no less than an attempt of the Corsican, by bribes, threats, and pro mises, artfully dealt out among the German Princes, according to their wants, weaknesses, and passions, to secure, at the Diet of Ratisbon, his election as king- of the Romans, and the consequent rank and dignity of Emperor of Germany. The out rageous ambition of the Corsican gives an air of pro bability to every plan of aggrandisement imputed to him, however extravagant ; yet we du not place im plicit confidence in this report, because it would be inconsistent with sound policy, to disclose such a view, it he really entertains it, until the conclusion of a prate u ith England. Having, however, choson CHARLES/ AGNS for hie model, like him he will, no doubt, claim, fight for, and endeavour to obtain, the Imperial diadem of Germany, as well as that of France, should he survive FR A 04C IS 11. and the united arms of England and Russia. We might add, those of Prussia and Austria; for surely the discovery of such a plan must unite these two powers, and convince them of the necessity of making common cause with Russia and England, AgtiltA France. In this view of Bon ae•rt z's policy, his invitation to most of the German Elec tors to be present at his coronation, is not a mere compliment, but a cunning artifice, for the further ance of his plans of vanity, and personal aggran disement. His ticrene Highness, the Ele&tor, Arch tbancellor of Germany, is already upon his way to Paris, to salute his Imperial Highness, JOSEPH Bow ar a ItTi. the Grand Eleelor of France, and to fraternise with his Serene Highness, the Arch- Chancellor of France, the regicide CAMIIACERES. The Rater of B►nen has obtained, on account of his great age, a reprieve from the punishment of thi. disgraceful journey ; *out the Eleftural Prince, his heir apparent, is put into requisition, and will, with the J oral Prince of WIRTES.II:RO, dance atteadance at the coronaton of the revolutionary Emperor of France. A real or pretended indisposi tion has been accepted by the Usurper, as an apo logy for the absence of the Zleetor of Ilss.a ; but his eon rid heir apparent cannot plead the same excuse, and must obey the summons of Bore AP ART E, or re linquish all hope of obtaining the free and Imperial City of Frankfort. The Eleaor of BAVARIA must also keep the latter in countenance, or be obliged to give up to Austria the Banks of the Inn. Although these five Princes constitute nearly a plurality in the Eleiaoral College, as long as Hanover is occupied by France ; the public prints of France and Ger many have orders to sound the public opinion, by pnblerhing a new projea of indemnities, for certain Princes, by new territorial arrangements in Ger many. and the creation of two new Eleetors. For the possession of these revolutionary dignities, ru mour nominates the Landgrare of Hesse DA em s r Apr, and the Prince of Nasssu•Ustwosw, both of whom did homage to the Corsican at Mentz, and will attend his coronation at Paris, should they he able to b.Trow money to defray the expence of their journey. Tire latter of these Princes has just given up to Los: spa as e the Island of Petersair, on the Rhine. But,though this new ambition of the Corsi can startles the observer at first view, it is intrinsi cally of less real weight and importance, than many of his other plans. He already exercises an un limited right of sovereignty over Baden, over Ham burgh, itc. and cote and carves the German Empire At his will and pleasure. Public Papers and private letters, received on Sa turday, from America and the %Vest Indies, bring farther particulars of the efredfs of the dreadful hur ricane which visited so large a part of the Western world in the Later end of August and beginning of September. At Dominica—the Nytes, S A NEIL A mn, of London, the risaieth and the Concord. of Dublin, with Is other vessels, were driven on shore at Rousseau upon the 9d; fourteen of them vr...re entirely log. At Prince Rupert's. the Ospere sloop of war was driven on shore, and obliged to cut away her niasts, and throw ber guns overboard. • At St. Thomas' the number of vessels, independent of small tsar,. driven on shore:arsion,ted to SO, of which number eleven were totally lost. and. with Four of these, the crews pelished. All the European ships escape.!, except one, an English brig, and the other, an Eng lish ship, with 180 slaves, but it was expeeed that both will be got of. Not a life was lost. At . • . nique, every vessel in the Roalt or St. Pierre's was driven on shore, and, with the exception of live, totally lost. At Barbaloes, on the •4th of September, the storm t was attended with tam ible thunder and lig%tning. The latter * struck the water rnill at St. Ann's, and partly destroyed it. At the ahove.menti.ined date, the tempestuous weather was increasing in the bay, and great apprehensions e e re entertained for the merchant ships, as well as fur the Centaur man of war and eterietvc brig. Six ves sels, mostly Americans, had been driven ashore ; and the Crlitiqr was observed to drag her anchors with great violence, and to near the shore considerably. During these distressful circumstances, a gang of villains employed themselves in breaking open and plundering several of the stores. At Gua.lalnupe, twelve sail were lost. At Martinique, twenty-eight were lost, fourteen of which were American , . At Jamaica, a viole hurt ;cane was experienced '.n t! e 29th of August, when the Pique frigate was com pletely dismasted, and two American vessels entirely lost. It prevailed from the 2,1 to the sth, at St. Ortiz, but did no particular damage. Curacoa was wholly exempt.

Parts of the Episcopal Church, of the Pr sbytirian Meeting House, of the F.,:change, of the Bank, Court House, Gaol, &c. have been blown down, with numerous private houses. Captain Wesa and two children were ki:led by the falling of houses. On Hutchinson', Island, and the other rice plantations, in the vicinity of Sa vannah, the sufFerit.g. of the people were peculiarly great. All the buildings on these places, almast with out an exception, were swept away, together with, is many instauces,their inhabitants. About one hundred On I Guards from NV division Winds' Soon of KrN and A N Cumber zn tkiog C►s EN, Negroes perished here.

The memorialists then express their satisfaction that the United States were engaged in negotiations for that purpose, but erpressed their disappointment on the publication of the treaty of Madrid, of the 1 lth August, Mt, which referred so much to interpre tation, so much to chance ! and conclude by profess ing that, in common with their fellow-citizens, they felt the force, and confessedthe faCI of the declaration, that no nation can too highly prize the value and preservation of peace ; but that one objea should be still dearer to us---our national independence." That heavily as they felt the hand which invaded it, they relied on the wisdom of thc Government to obtain adequate redress. so long delayed ; pledging themselves that, if negociations fail for that pur pose, they will, with their lives and :attunes, sup port whatever measures the United States may adopt to maintain its honour, independence, and future security ; and to obtain sati.faßion and suitable re dress for their aggravated wrongs.

Accounts were received at Charleston, that the royal treasury at the Havannah had been robbed of 25.000 dollars. Although the plate was con stantly guarded, the thieves er.tered by the rod of the building, and curled off their plunder unob, served. The moment the robbery was known, an embargo was laid on all shipping in the harbour, and a strict search was made no ough the city, but without died. Some interior miters belonging to the treasury were suspeeted.
