Late from Gotten burg.
The ship Levant, Captain Proctor, ar
s rived here yesterday, in 44 days from Got r
tenburg, reports.*—That no event of impor
tance, of a political or commercial nature,
had taken place for some days previous to
his departure ;—the last decree, was that
of shutting the ports of Tunoingen, &c.—
'Fhe Sound continued to be blockaded by
the English, and vessels, bound into, or out
of the Baltick, went generally through the
Great Belt, under British convoy. The
most important information by the Levant
is by letters, which state, that a fleet of
American merchantmen firom Russia, had
come out pl the Baltick, under convoy, and
put into Gottenburg Roads, wind bound, a
few days previous to his sailing, and anoth
er fleet was to go up soon, in company with
a British convoy., Captain P. further re
ports, that the porta of Keil and Stralsund
were open, but few dare enter tnem, for
fear, of capture. ' The markets at Gotten*
burg were glutted with every kind of pro
duce.

THE FLORIDAS.
i ? l ( '.
The accounts from these next-door neigh
hours of the United States are not very con
sistent. It appeared, however, that ther
movements were towards'a Revolution, if
not Independence. The district of New
Felecina had named Captains John John
son, William Barrow, and Messrs. Johi
Ray and John Mills, [all English or Ame
rican names, the latter piobably a Bos
lonian,] to be Delegates to a General Con
vention of Safety; to the met tinged which
Governour Lassus had consented. The
convention was to have assembled in July.
Neither the Emperour Napoleon, nor
> Joseph, have many friends (excepting theii
epics) in the Floridas. •
We learn that the Hoff. Board of Over
seers of Harvard University, on Tuesday
confirmed the appointment of the Rev.
John 'l’kohnton Kirkland", D. D. as
President of that venerable Institution.—
At the same time, we learn, that the de
gree of Doctor of Laws was unanimously
conferred on the Hon. Timothy Picker
ing, and his Excellency Gwernour Ger
mt.—We understand that Dp Kirkland
had 30 of 34 votes.
Mr. Cook, has favoured us with the mi*

while he was at Buenos Ayres, from which
we have taken the following extracts
•• On Tuesday morning the 15th of May
the long expected explosion burst forth
A deputation from the several military
commandants waited on the Viceroy, and
demanded categorically his intentions, in
the event of the confirmation of the intelli
gence from Europe, by a vessel just ar
rived at Monte Video, announcing the ac
tual removal of the old Supreme Junta, the
appointment of a provisional one, the suc
cesses of the French, and their approach
towards Cadis, and the preparatory ar
rangements to remove the seat of govern
ffieut to the island <rf Leon. Two hours
“ Th* Venus has arrived here from the
River Plater ’We learn by her, that the
inhabitants of Bueno* Ayres, like those of
the Csrracas, had assumed an indepen
dent station, deposed the Viceroy of the Se
ville Junta, formed a provisional govern
ment until Ferdinand sh all be restored, and
sent deputies throughout the province to
solicit a co-operation. Though loyalty to
Ferdinand VII. was professed, an abholute
and perjietUAl independence of Old Spain
was understood to be the real design among
the leaders. Every* thing was conducted
without violence, and a vast majority were
in favour of this step. It took place in
May.”
The important election of Members tn
the 12th Congrest to represent the State ot
New-Hampshire, will be held on Monday
next* If this interesting State is alive to
her dearest interests and honour; if the
Federalists are not dead or sleeping; and

/-A WHAMPSHIRE.
BUENOS AYRES.
“ On the 26th a proclamation was issued
in the name of the Provisional Junta of the
capital of the River Plate- Th* comman
dants and officers waited on them, and
swore allegiance in the name of Ferdi
nand VII.
were given for a reply. However, there
Was nothing decisive till Saturday th* Ifltb,
when the poet from Moot* Video, brought
a confirmation of the above
4 second deputation then waited ou the
Viceroy, and demanded an immediate and
publick declaration of his intentions, which
he promised to make. Sunday morning
the Cabildo notified the Viceroy that it was
indispensable, he should resign bis com
mand, a* the authority from which it pro
ceeded no longer existed, and that he must
send ll»e staff of office to them in session.—
In the interim he issued a proclamation to
the people of the Viceroyalty ; in which he
took a cursory view of the disastrous events
in Spain, and the efforts making to restore
confidence, Icc. flic. This address did not
satisfy the people, as it left on their minds
the impression that he would maintain his
authority as long as he equid. Several of
the-commandants entered the palace in the
evening at 9 o'clock, and demanded a re
signation then, or a promise of it in the
morning—hinting in very plain terms that
his refusal would occasion an immmediate
recurrence to force. He finally consented
to surrender his authority at 11 o'clock the
ensuing day. Patroles paraded the streets,
and the troops were all under arms in the
barracks, during the night.
On Monday the inhabitants were in
anxious suspense—the military and parti
sans of the revolution were all in motion,
and the troops to the number of 8000, as it
was said, were underarm*. The alarm
neat in the morning—the hats of the patri
ots were decorated with the portrait of
Ferdinand VII. under which, and to (he
of the coat, was tied a white
ribbon, signifying as they said, union among
iheipselyes. and fidelity to Ferdinand in
the event of his restoration to the throne—-
At one o’clock, a number of persons at-,
.ended in the square, and after some diffi
culty on the part of the Viceroy, be made
his resignation.
•• The Cabildo summoned a meeting of
500 for the next day, the 23d. It took
place at ten in the evening at the Curial,
.none being admitted into the square but
i he persons who had been summoned to the
meeting, and who Vrere furnished with
ickets.) The debates ran high on the sub
ject of deposing the Viceroy until correct
information should be received of the fate
of Spain. The principal opposer of the
new otder of, things was the Bishop. He
was answered by Dr. Castillos, a leading
character of the revolution, a native law
ver, possessed of considerable talents, and
t daring intrepidity of spirit. Repeated
.ilaudits announced the favourable recep
tion his sentiments met with, and the im
pressions his oratory had in ide. He con
luded a speech replete with eloquence,
.nd with such strength ot argument in fa
■ oui of the change of government, as aston
ished the audience, (which chiefly consist
ed of old Spaniards, who hud been almost
n a man previously opposed to any change
hat would place the power in the people)
and induced a vote for deposing the Vice
roy , 169 to 65.
“ Anothei meeting, on the 23d, was held
in order to confirm by signature the vote of
the preceding day. Proclamation was made
that the Cabildo should exercise the pow
ers of the Viceroy, and piocced to the
choice of a Provisional Junta, until dele
gates from the interiour provinces could
meet, with whom they would form a per
manent government.
“ On the 27th, at 3, P. M. the troops as
sembled in front of the Curial, formed a
hollow square, and were addressed by the
President of the Junta, (their commander)
and the Bishop bestowed his behediction on
the people. The President's address was
answered by the troops with repeated shouts
and a salute from artillery and musketry ;
the people showed every mark of joy.
. “ On the 30th, divine service was per
formed at .he by order of the
Junta ; the Bishop officiated ; and a poli
tical discourse was delivered by one of the
Priests. Splendid illuminations took place
in the evening.
•• Notwithstanding the apparent tran
quility, there was still a dissatisfied party
at Buenos Ayres.
** Monte Video was wavering as to a
concurrence with Buenos Ayres, as a re
port was spread that Spain was not so far
conquered as had been represented.”
“ The 24ih, the Cabildo- issued a pro
clamation, announcing the deposing of the
Viceroy. They assembled again at 1, P
M.—the guns announced the appointment
of a Junta, and the Mayor proclaimed the
names of those of whom it was composed,
viz. the late Viceroy as President, and six
others. Immediate' discontent was mani
fested, principally on account of the Vi*e
toy’s having any share in the government;
and the result was, that a new election was
made on the morning of the 25th, and the
Viceroy was excluded. Provision was im
mediately made for sending deputations to
the interiour, to invite delegates from the
Cabildos of the provinces, and to treat with
them respecting a proper form of govern
ment.

JWUtMXX or RBODR-IgIARR,
All have this day a solemn duty to per
form. It is our boundin duty in the pre
sent alarming crisis of our national affairs,
not to withhold our suffrages in the pend
ing elections, nor to abuse our inestimable
privilege* by bestowing our votes on un
worthy characters. Every thing dear to
u* a* men and a* citizens of a free and in
dependent country, commands us to be
ware into whose hands we commit the sa
cred and,arduous trust of reconciling, pro
tecting and promoting the various and com
plicated interests of this great agricultural,
commercial and manufacturing nation.
It is impossible now to foresee what ques
tions will demand the deliberation of Con
gress for the two succeeding years ; but
we know from the state of the world and
our own perilous situation, that they will
involve matter* of the highest moment, and
will require all the wisdom, skill and expe
rience of our best statesmen. 'Let all who
are solicitous for the honour of the State,
and for the safety and prosperity of theii
country, unit* their efforts in effecting, by
all fair and honourable means, the re-elec
tion of their present faithful Representa
tives, who hav* served them for the two
last years with such distinguished ability
and zeal. Let not the concerns of business
prevent any one from dedicating one day
to the cause of hi* country. Let every dis
ciple of Washington be early and con
stant in his attendance at the polls, and
firm and active in the discharge of his duty,
Inattention and indolence car- alone pro
duce defeat. Industry and onion will en
sure success.
THIS DAY you are called upon to give
your suffrages for Representatives to Con
gress. The Honourable ELISHA R. POT
TER and RICHARD JACKSON, jun. are
the txub Amxxicaw Candidate*. These
gentlemen were educated in the school of
Wasihxotox, and are devoted h>the
real interests of their country. The Many
and foul calumnies, which their enemies
have circulated against them, have been
completely refuted. Their barbed arrows
dipped in gall, have fallen harmless. They
rrtBMXN or RHQDU ISLAND,
This day decide* the important and in
teresting point, whether you will be free
men or slaves-—whether you will obey the
dictate* of reason and your love for your
country, or become the meanest of slaves—
•laves to your prejudice* and to the in
trigues of factious men. This day you are
called upon to exercise a privilege denied
to all other inhabitants on earth. Each
one ba* the power to degrade or exalt bis
country. We, fellow-citizens, are the ar
biters of our rights, and are, a* in justice
we should be, the avengers of our wrong*.
Our country has been dishonoured, our na
tional rights have been violated, and mill
ions of our property are now confiscated by
the tyrant of France. Our present rulers,
and the predominant party, look with in
difference on this prostration of principle,
and calmly acquiesce in the'enormities of
Napoleon. Rise in your majesty and show
to the nation your disgust at such proce
dure. Send the well-tried patriots, Jack
son and Potter, to redress your wrongs,
and to maintain your rights* Be not de
luded by the groundless professions of de
mocracy, which, while It smiles, will de
stroy you. These gentlemen are firm and
manly adherent: to your independence,
and are capable of preserving that inde
pendence unimpaired- Give your votes
for these men, and the gratitude of your
country shall be your reward. If you re
ject this season of a political harvest, the
clouds of destruction will gather round your
capitol, and your treacherous rulers will
be dismayed and abandon, what they are
unable to save. Every one should feel the
impot tancc of the day. Your enemies are
vigilant and active—your single vote may
turn the scale—your State is now respect
ed-disgrace her not by a prostitution to
the views of Hazard and Brown.
Ci7izlns or Providrncs,
Your faithful and honest townsman is
opposed. You know him to be intelligent
and true to his country. Let not the ebul
litions of faction diminish your well-placed
confidence. Go to the poll, and with one
heart and one voice manifest your patriot
ism and unshaken attachment to one who
goes but to. save you. He is personally
known to you all. His character is so pure
that the vipers of democracy are disarmed
of censure. Blander with her hundred
tongues dare not utter a reproof. Rise, go
to the poll and satisfy your conscience, jus
tice, and your country, by a support of the
