astral mule the necessary preparatioess fora general attack of
the rebel', who, it appears from the reports, were on the
north coast of the island, called Hello., on the Itith Oct. The
amoral proceeds to mate, that before an attack was begs% a
preelaiintion was issued, which bad the good effect of Is-
diming the inlisbitantsofseeeral districts to submit,so that the
riagleaders fled without the employment of force. By these

3IIDRID, IIIAY 5.

Letters from Cadiz, of the 28th of last tuutith, state no-
thing positive respecting the ultra-marine expedition, in
which lilt Bossiest squadron we have lately acquired, are, it
seems, to be employed, but which are sow nearly three
months in that harbour. There are no serious prepara-
tions from *lnch we can form any presumption respecting
either the destinatiou or the time fur the departure of this
expedition. The troops aintowed in Andalusia, seem rather
to menace the frontiers of Portugal than the pretended
Republicans of Buenos Ayres.
Several very extraordiaaty rumours have been for some
days in circulation, and wore understanding is spoken of
between the Government of B Ayres and the Court of
Brazil, and it is even said that John VI. has been acknow-
ledged constitutional King of South America.

A Flanders Mail has arrived, with Papers to the

A Treasury Journal of last evening says—" That
notwithstanding the defalcation of the sugar, in the
Custom Duties, amounting to 257,753/. there has
been an increase of the Customs on the quarter since
the sth of April, of 58.0381. In the Excise, the
increase on the quarter since the Sib April has been
350,4741.—making a total increase of 408,3121."
It is become a practice in the Treasury Journals
to endeavour to pre-occupy the public mind with a
gross favourable result of this kind. Experience,
however, shear the necessity of waiting for the
official &tails.

A considerable number of blubber casks, full
of blubber, have lately been cast ashore on the
Orkney Islands: they appear to be foreign casks,
which, added to the circumstance of there being
one cask among them filled with valuable skim,
leads to the supposition of their having probably
belonged to some Danish ve•srl, lost on her passage
from Davis'. Straits, S.•!:lfe thtlt is a palatal settle.
