The British schooner Friendship, Capt.WaLwr, arrived at this port yesterday, in 10 days, front St. Jago de Cuba. The day be sailed, Capt. W. was boarded trom the Independent privateer brig Patriot,' Commodore TAYLOe i and informed that all the porta in the island of Cuba were under a strict state of blockade by his squadron, and re quested him to report it • in the - United States. — His force amounts to 12 or 13 sail, among them 1 ship., the remainder brigs and schooners. The Commodore treated Captain W. with marked pO- liteness and respect, as is his constant practice to all nations except the Spanish. He expressed his determination of continuing the blockade as rigorously as possible, and he declared that he, would never be captured by any Spanish vessel whilst bis magazine held out. The vessels of the squadron are continually cruizing round the island, and intercept a great many Spanish merchantmen and Slave traders ; the prisoners from which are set ashore.

LECCII (KINGDOM Op NAPLIIS), APRIL 28.-- A vessel from the Adriatic has brought iutelli " VIENNA, MAY 1.--Since the arrival of Major D'AsestE, who is returned from "Naples, a report is current that our troops will evacuate that kingdom in the course of the present year." There is a strong report prevalent in political circles, implying that the GRENVILLR PARTY are about to form a junction with the present Minis try.—Such reports generally precede an expected Dissolution of Parliament, but it seems at present to be supposed that this report is founded upon more probable grounds than usual. Tim Opposition Menibere - and their literary Partizans seem to conceive, that tbey,liave de rived a great advantage from the answer given by Laid CASTLEREAGH last night, in the House of Commons, to Mr. PONSONEY'S enquiry whether it was the intention of Ministers to apply to Par liament for a renewal of the law, or a farther extension as to time, of - the powers given to them by the Bill for Suspending the Habeas Corpus Act. The answer given by Lord CASTLEREAGH was as clear as any thing ever said in Parliament, yet it has been made the subject of cavil, or of pretended misconception. His Lordship distinctly laid down the course intended to be pursued, viz. first to bring A communication to Parliament, on the in ternal State of the Nation, from his Royal High ness the PZINCR RaQuNT ; then to call upon the House to inform them elves of the real situation of the Country, by means of a Committee ; and finally to recommend a renewal of the Act in question. It was urged by the Opposition Mem bers, and since by their literary Champions, that this implied an assumptioa of Alinisterial power, in the idea of recommending measures be fare the Committee should decide. But this is, indeed, mere cavilling, for as the recommenda tion must follow the report of the Committee, it must, of course, be regulated by it. We are glad to find, and the loyal and rational part of the people we are sure will agree with us, that Government ill anxious to guard against all the evils that may arise from discontented Spirits and their artful Instigators, and that Opposition have no better complaint to make against our Rulers than that they OM not willing to leave the Constitution unprotected during the Parliamentary Recess, and 'o submit it to chance, or the mercy of Spa-Fields Rtformers. We had much to say on the Roman Catholic Question, but as the subject will this day be in troduced in the !Untie of Lords, and as we trust to find in the Earl of LIVRRPOOL a firm Champion and zealous Dufentler of our present happy E.ta. blislime n t, Political and Ecclesiastical, we not .presume to offer our sentiments till after the expeeted,diseussion.

COURANT. sia,--As the public mind seems considerably agitateti with 'respect to the dangerous tendency of a fever which leas been for some time past prevalent to this city and its vicinity, and still occasionally occurs, I think it proper, as Surgeon to the Edinburgh Charity Work-house, in order to relieve, in some degree, the anxiety which a . matady of this kind so na turally excites, to stare, through the medium of your Paper, that in the Autumn of last year this disease (typhus (eves) broke out in that part of the establishment appropriated to children, where it raged for some month*, and that although every one of them, about 400 in number, were attacked by it, they all recovered, ua,e o n ly excepted, who died in con sequence of a sudden hatmorrhage from the lungs. These cases, not withstandiug the unavoidable disadvan tages attending the management of a contagious disease in a crowded hospital, appear to me a decided proof, that. this fever cannot be of so dangerous a nature its has been gene rally apprehended. At the same time, every necessary pre. caution should certainly be adopted for the purpose ut pre venting or mitigating so serious a disease. i< I "Saturday, tot!, Nla), 1:317."
