By the Cottenburifli Mni! some letter/. have been
received firm' ibintsie, shish et.:te, that uu Allo'-
6(2011 vessel had arrived there, whose ripen, certified
fer to have come from New York. She was, in r on-
seTteuce, permitted to land her ear, o, which sold
at a very high price. from the examitution of the
erce, however. it was found that the res.t.l cam.
last from Liverpool. On this discovery, the Con-
sul. who sanctioned the clearance was sent to the
gal!ies, and the whsle amount of the cargo was
obii,rel to be delivered up to tha French Coot-
tuatiher, General RAPP.

We have reason to believe, that a part of the
military force in the 111editerralican, snarl .r the
command of General SisEscast, is destined for the
haoteci ion o' Sardinia, upon which island the enemy
hve for some thue meditated Itl attack.

A letter from Sweden says, " The importaot for-
tre.la of Sakelltirg, in ruilaud, was attacked by a
force of 10,000 Ruseiaus, who, after an obstinate
cootest of two days, were completely re i lear-
n"; tut. ?nen kifled and wounded on the ticld."
The Comulissiopeni of Military ititinirr have
proceeded fur with the Department of the War
Mice, that their Report is expected to be laid
bitbre Parliament soon after the recess.
The Rev. GEoaos Mexs, M.A. Fellow of Tri-
nity-hal. Cambridge, is presented by the Master
and Felicia* of that society, to the Vicarage of
Cimele)-eum-Kentford, in Suffolk, vacant Ly the
death of the lieu. THOMAS Dove.
Mr. BENJAMIN Put.iss, B.A. of Clare-hall,
Camlrridge, is elected is Fellow of that Society.
Letters in town front Madrid, confirm the late
accounts of the insurrection in that Capital. The
Patircis of Mace had disappeared. and DO one
knew whither he had gone.—The private letters re-
ceived front Spain coutnin in general very little in-
telligence. Such is the terror excited by the pre-
race of a French army in that country, that the
writers seem afraid to describe the crests that are
pamitut aro.uid them. or to express any political
oprinan.—The following are the only extracts we
could collect from several letter which were coin-
municatml to us yesterday :---
