It is now beyond all doubt that all the difficulties (if such ever
existed) between P..rtugal and Spin are wholly removed, and that
the best understanding will prevail between the two Cabinets for
the Count de Casa Flores, the Spanish Ambassador, has received
his new credentials to the Regency.

This capital continues to enjoy the most perfect tranquillity. as
well as all the provinces of thr kingdom. It is not without surprise
that we hare learned from certain French Journals, that the two
power% were forming sanitary cordons, which in diplomatic language
signifies hostile dtino:-.strations—there is nothing of the kind.

NAPLES, Jese 14.

On the dth instsnt, at 4.i minutes past seven in the evening. a
slight shock of an earthquake, which lasted twelve seconds, was
felt at Potonza, the chid town of the province of Basilicata. The
motion was undulatory, and from north to south.
On the same day, and at the same hour, similar shocks were
felt at Salerno, the cani•al of the province Citerior, and still more
strongly at Campana, in the Pant: province. Happily the inha-
bitants esciped with •he fright; no person was injured, nor was any
donage done to the buildings.

The Cell' I;.'r I'rtw•ais 'mutes us of not bating contradicted
the atater.t.rt of the entrance two Spain of a considerable corps of
Furth troops, announced by a Journal. As this news is ridiculous,
we did not think it necessary to say a word of it ; but since it is not
enough for a thing to be ab•urd for the Coro irt Frgtrtrnis not to
believe it, we will tell it that there is no foundation for this news
any more tle,n for tl at of the C.sr, ri, r, said to have come front

We must place in the same class, the news given by the J..urnal

America, and that of a treaty between the United States and the
New Republics against the English.

The accounts received from Batavia, by way of !Tolland,
give reason to believe that the Government of the Nether-
lands has at length adapted a new line of policy with re-
gard to its foreign possession,. It is perhaps unnecessary
again to allude to the effects which have been produced
by the adherence of the Dutch to the narrow system which
au long directed all their proceedings in the East—to the
hostility which it had excited among the native tribes, in
their vicinity—to the kalousy anti animosity which its in-
justice had produced among the European denizens in their
settlements—to the discouragement which it had cast upon
the commercial and manufacturing industry of the Chinese

population—and to the general gloom which it had spread
over the aspect of affairs, whether commercial or political.
All the.se calamities which have befallen the Dutch are so
many warnings to such nations as have not adopted a
liheral course, and so many proofs of the wisdom of those
principles which our Government now so steadily acts
upon. Complaints are sometimes heard of the backward-
ness of foreign nations to fall in with our proposals of reci-
procity; but those who make these complaints forget that
there is one master who will teach at last the most
perverse, and bring the mast stubborn to reason. The
natural course of things points out the necessity of a free
trade; and if the boon is once fairly offaell to a people as
it has been offered by us, that psnple will not willingly he
restrained by their rulers from seizing the gift presented
to them; and the consequences of their perseverance, if car-
tied to art extreme., will be similar to those which have
recently convulsed the Dutch Colonies in the East. The
arguments of SOCRATrI, by which he attempted to prove
that a wise man was a King, was, perhaps, more ingenious
than solid ; but it is here exactly in point. If foreign na-
tions will not take our advice, and accept our proposals,
they will he punished far more effectually by the conse-
quences of their obstinacy, titan they could possibly bare
been by any exertion of power on our part to compel them.

We pu!lish the enclosed extract of an authentic letter
from Boston, as a caution to our artisans against yiehling
to the tempting offers which may be held out to them by
the agents of the manufacturers in the United Stites:— •

A very intelligent inhabitant of this city visited
England list year, ostensibly for the purpose of selecting
goods, hut in reality to engage skilful workmen, of whom
he obtained about forty, who have since arrived. Exor-
bitant wages are offered to such persons for a year, but as
soon as sufficient instruction is derived from their ex-
perience, they are either compelled to take less, or to seek
other employment."

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.

The Money Markets continue in a state of extreme depression.
Consols for the Account opened at 79. alternately buyers and sel-
lers ; although they afterwards final, it was only preparatory to
a greater fall ; fur they subsequently declined to 78g. The City
was again destitute of rumours ; therefore the present state of the
Mirket ran only be attributed to its own weight. Three per Cent.
Reduced Annuities were again lower, as were Exchequer Bills
and the New Scrip ; the former 9s. prem., and the latter 4 prem.
In South American Stilt ks there was a complete panic this
morning, on ivcount of the jobbers being lightened at the late
m ney stock sales. Colombian, from 35:1 fell to 34; Mexican,
from 53 to 50. Both are again advancing; the former 35, the lat-
ter .l. Russian 791. In the other Foreign Stocks the bargains
were inconsiderable.

Lord Cochrane, in his Liters to his private friends, writes in the
highest spirits, and seems to enr.sidi r his object as certain of
swetly accomplishment. The arrangements made for his expedition
are of more importance than may be generally imagined. The
steam.boits under his command writ carry long CB-pounder., emit
fur the purpose. A large (pi aitity of stores, arms, and ammuni-
tion, is now at Napoli di Romania. waiting his arrival.

cisive measures to secure the valuable island of Java, which would
odic:wise have passed from European authority. Accounts were

or at a small notice (for the acts of tomer Governors on this point

Gtxo A, ,le \r. 10.—A report has been in circulation
since yesterday of a severe action, said to have taken place
nar Hydra, between some pirates of the islands of the Ar-
chirelno and the Austrian squadron under the command
of Admiral Marquis l'aulucci.—Dattli Paper.
SANTA MARTHA, API:11. 1.5.—A report that an expe-
dition of Spanish troops was shout to he despatched from
the Island of Cuba, has spread considerable alarm here.
These rumours, however improbable, have had the effect
of bringing commercial matters to a temporary stand.
The spirits of the inhabitants are beginning, however,
to rally, and I trust that business will soon resume its na-
tural course.

The King of Prussia has given remission, according to
the precedent of 1774, for the celebration of the Jubilee in
the Catholic churches in this kingdom, and that use may
he male of the Bull issued on the occasion, only with tl.e
understanding that the expressions occurring in this Bull,
which arc inconsistent with the rights and privileges of the
Evangelical Church, shall be considered as null.—Dach
Parer.
The first efforts which were made to procure a sale for
the products of Silesia in the En!ish West Indian Colo-
nies, were extremely encouraging. The cloth of Silesia
was sold advantageously in Jamaica, and the flour, when
carefully prepared, found so much sale in South America,
that it was preferred to that species which is known by the
name of Richmond Corn, and is prepared in North
America. A Commercial Association has been formed in
consequence in Silesia, to carry on a direct trade in the
productions of the country, whether agricultural or corn-
mere al, with South America. The Society is divided into
shares, and its present capital amounts to 500,000/. crowns.
Pon T-AU-PKINC r , MAY I.—A project of law has been
sent by the President to the Chamber, concerning the com-
merce of Hayti. All merchandize, being Haytian pro-
perty, imported in Ilaytian vessels, is to pay one•sixth less
Only than the moat favoured nation, which reduces the im-
port duty to five per cent. The export duty to be one-
tenth less, which makes the duty on coffee nine dollars per
cent. The advantage in loading for France by a Haytian
' vessel will not be great, but it will he very considerable on
shipments to England or the Unit( d States.
PLAGUE ix THE LET ANT.—The foliose ing letter has
been received by the Government from Mr. Stirling, the
British Consul at Genoa :
" British Consulate, Genoa, June 10, 18911.
" Sir,—l hare the honour to acquaint you, for the infor 'vim' of
Mr. Secretary Cannel*, that 31r. Cetle, my Vice-Consul at Spezia,
has informed me, that, two days after the arrival of a !Sardinian
vessel at the lamtret of Varignan, proceeding from the Levant, the
strongest measures were taken there for the public health, and that
the lazaret is now surrounded with troops and guardians of the
S mita.

.• Ism Knee iuformed, that the plagge is on board the above-
mentioned vend, that one of the crew died on the pelage, three
died since her arrival at the Varignan, and four are now sick, but

and a ship of war was also sent there, at the disposal of the Com.

A very serious accident nearly happened oft' the Chain
Pier on Saturday last. We understand that the Brocklehank,
steampacket, having just come up from Newhaven, in clearing the
Pier head, the Captain observed a small boat or punt, managed by
one man only, who was rowing, and having on board a gentleman,
lady, and children, approaching in such a direction, and an near to
him, that it seemed impossible to avoid runniug him down. He
instantly cried out for the men below to stop the paddle wheels, and
to the man at the helm to alter his course. This of course took a
little time, and the danger every moment (if so short a space as the
whole transaction occupied could be divided into moments) became
more imminent. In the mean time, the man in the hoar seemed
completely paralysed with fear; he ceased entirely to row, and the
boat continued moving forward. The lady was also so dreadfully
terrified, that she fell into a fit. This, singular as it may appear,
was probably the means of saving their lives, for the lady in het
terror let her parasol fall over the aide of the boat, which catching
the breeze, acted a sail. and gently drew round the head of the
boar, so that by the time she touched the steam-vcasel, her side was
parallel with U.—Brighton Paprr.
