New-York, April 5,
A vessel arrived at Marblehead on
Monday last, in 36 days from Rochelle,
brings dispatches from Mr. Armstrong,
for our government. The bearer was
landed at Portland, and is supposed to
have proceeded on to Washington. .
Captain Norie, who arrived here yes
terday from Tobago, \vas boarded on
the 1st inst. off the Chesapeake by a
British frigate from England, in pur
suit of admiral. Duckworth’s squadron,
and treated very politely, the lieutenant
informed captain Norie that Mr. Rose
dined on board his vessel the day be
fore and remained four hours, during
which time he observed that his mission
had failed, but that he did not believe
there would be a \var between Great
Britain and America—as, said he, such
an event would be ruinous to both coun
tries.
1 he following important intelligence
from Spain was cesterdav received lrom
u gentleman ol this city—having been
communicated to him in letters lrom
Cadiz of the 18th February.
The affairs of Spain continued to grow
worse. The French decrees were ri
gorously put into execution : so much
so that an American vessel, that has
been detained at Cadiz for a breach ol
the Milan decree, has been pronounced
a good prize.,
French troops of the conscription of
} 809 were to occupy all the sea coasts
of Spain; and to be supported at the
expense of that power. . The i whole
number of these troops already .entered
Spain and Portugal amounted to 80,000;
• he greater part of which were at Sal
amanca, and round Madrid. A great
part of the Spanish troops had been sent
into Portugal.
The prince ol peace was still in pow
er. It.is not true, as reported, that the
prince of Asturias had been appointed
generalissimo of the French and Spa
nish armies. Neither is it true, that
the French and Spanish armies were go
ing to besiege Gibraltar.
Hy a new decree, the holders of Eng- j
lish manufactured goods were obliged
to deliver them to a commission ap
pointed for that purpose—and it was
expected another decree would be passed
to condemn them.
• The greatest rigour was observed a
gainst those who held corrcspondcnc
with the F.nglish :—Five persons had
been detected at A'gesiras, and hung.
The favourable weather ia Spain had j

given hopes that the ensuing harvest
would be abundant: which circum
stance had prevented the rise in the
price of flour.
Bonaparte had laid Portugal under a
contribution of twenty millions of dol
lars !—“-Which enormous sum he inge
niously proposed to them to raise by rob
bing the churches of the whole of the
plate, and two thirds of the church re
venues.
London, February 23.
Papers respecting negotiations with A
merica were last night laid before the
House of Commons, .
A petition for peace was presented,
Mr. Canning voted for bringing up the
petition, and said no fair opportunity
would be neglected of concluding peace.
The- report of a change of ministry is
revived. It is said-the D. of Portland
and Mr. Canning are to retire, and the
latter gentleman to be succeeded by the
M trquis of Wellesley.
We have reason to believe a differ
ence existed in the cabinet as to the
manner in which the affair of Copenha
gen was to be justified.
An order has been issued to prohibit
the exportation of Peruvian Bark to
France, where a sickness is said to pre
vail (among the troops from Poland,)
in 'which, the bark is wanted. Mr.
Whitbread censured the order .
February 24.
Lord St. John has given notice that
he shall to-morrow move an address to
his majesty to suspend the operation of
the orders in council.

The*expedition under general Spencer
