LONDON, TUESDAY, Just' 13, 11146.

W;th the Paris Morning Papers of Saturday we have
received the Etude of Sunday, from which we make the
ollowing extracts:—

[From the Doile. dated Sunday, June 11.1

311t.0. Mitten 31.
The French merchantman, Ire Prospers, Captain Eyraux, is
said to have been taken by pirates off Cape 3fatapan.
Piracy has become so general that there is now no security
either in the open sea or in the ports. All Greek vessels, of what.
aver description, pretend to the right of search, and, under the spe-
cious pretext of looking for the property of their enemies, they
carry off that of all nations indiscriminately, carrying their preten.
. woos so far as to insist on exercising this right of search with
respect to vessels protected by men of war of their nation.
. The General Assembly of the Greek nation has not yet con-
cluded its sitting, being unable to agree on divers points of the
Commotion. _ _ _

PARTR, •11•NL 10.

All those persons who were Implicated in the affair of Hawkers
hare pat been expelled from Madrid; most of them are ecelesias-
Wee. All of them were exikd from Madrid under the administration
of M. Zea Bermudez, but immediately after his dismissal the apos.
folic party obtained pertnisaion fur them to return to the capital.
1 mentioned once before a report that M. Fernandez de Pio°,
President of the Tribunal of the Monies, would succeed Al. Calo-
=snit' In the post of Minister of Grace sod Justice. M. F. del
Pino lately went to Aranjeux, where he had a conference with his
Majesty. From that time M. Celomarde has been the declared and
bitter enemy of that Magistrate, who justly enjoys a high repu-
tation. . _

The same Minister having lately presented the new plan of Po-
lice drawn up be M. flermorilla, it is affirmed that his Jiajesty
hes not opproved it.
The notes addressed by the English and French Ambassadors to
our Minister for Foreign Affairs succeed each other very rapidly.
It is affirmed that some of them ere in very energetic terms, and
much embarrass the Duke del Intuited°. The English Minister
Midst. on the evacuation of Spain by the French troops, and the
French Minister requires not only the repayme:4 of the thirty mil-
hoos and more due to his Government, but also that ours shall take
energetic measures to re.establ,sh tranquillity and good order before
toe troops of his Most Christian Majesty quit Spain. The Ens-
-11911 urge our Government to recognise the new Amerman
States, or to take measures to subdue than ; neither do they es-
gtect to demand the payment of the immense sums due to them es
as imlemn ty for the seizures made in Spain anti America since
1814. whiih indemnity was recognised by the Constitutional Go-
vernment, and subsequently by the Minister Don Victor Saes.

An Act to provide for the apprehension and delivery of deserters
from French ships in the ports of the United States.
Be it enacted by the Senate anti House of Representatives of
the United States of America in Congress assembled, That, on
the application of a Consul of Fiance, made in writing, stating that
the person therein named has deserted from a public or private
vessel of France, while in any port of the United States, and on
proof, by the exhibition of the register of the vessel, ship's roll,
or other official document, that the person named belonged, at the
time of desertion, to the crew of said vessel, it shall he the duty of
any Court, Judge. Justice, or other 31agistrate, having competent
power to issue warrants, to cause the said person to be arrested for
examination ; and if on the examination the facts stated are
found to be true, the person arrested, not being a citizen of the
United States, shall be d:livered up to the Consul or Via-Consul,
to be sent hack to the dominions of France, or, on the request,
and at the expense of the said Consul and Vice-Consul, shall be
detained until the Consul or Vice-Consul finds an opportunity to
send him hack to the dominions of France; provided nevertheless,
that no person shall be detained more than three months after his
arrest, bin at the end of that time shall be set at Liberty, and shall
not again be molested for the same cause.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, that this Act shall continue in
force so long as the Convention of the 24th of June. 1822, between

11AVAWNAH, APRIL 26.
As to our internal situation. all is quiet, and since the late com-
munication of your President on the subject of the Panama Con.
great (as regards the Islands of Porto Rico and Cuba) has been
received, public confidence has entirely been restored, and no dread
is entertained of an invasion ; at the same time, General Vivea is
actively employed in placing every department upon the most effi-
cient footing. The island is divided into four military divisions,
each division commanded by a general officer of known talentrand
experience; these are again subdivided into 32 sections, each under
the orders of a tried officer; troops have been sent from here, to fill
up the different posts, and no country, 1 assert, presents at this
aliment so military and secure a state of defence. The amount of
troops at present in the whole island may be calculated at 25,000
men.

We have a frigate and two brig of war in the harbour, which,
with the squadron at Cuba, composes the Spanish naval force in
those seas.

It requires a large sum to maintain PO very large a force, and
am of opinion the Intendant will have to lay on heavier taxes,
which will be very impolitic, as the people of this country, like all
others. are not very great fritods to high taxation.
A letter to the editor of the American says—" Produce has de-
clined here, and we expect a further reduction. Bills drawn here
have already returned from Europe, protested for non-payment.
We fear many more are on their way, and that we are on the eve
of experiencing great commercial distress. I Send you a few papers,
but they will furnish youne news."
. .

A leiter from Mort; Video, dated Feb. 1, received by the editors
of the Phila•?elpitia Gazette, represents the force of the Patriots In
the Banda Oriental to be 7,000 men, and that of the Buenos
Amens 3,000, making in all an army of 10,000. The writer ap-
pears to entertain little doubt of the final success of the revolu-
tionists.

Extract of a letter to a house in this city, dated Ponce, Porto Rico,
17th April :—" We have noticed in a New York paper (the Ga-
zette of the 25th March) a report, made by Capt. M--, relative
to pirates, which we must say is exaggerated. We have no certain
knowledge of any piratical vessel about this island, or that bas been
for some time put. There is a Government schooner cruizing
on the south-side of this island, and she is now in this
port, and goes out and in every few days. You are aware
that reports of the kind made by Captain M— are de-
trimental to the trade of this place, and tend to enhance
the rate of insurance. His 'tat, ment must have been made upon
vague reports in circulation at the time of his sailing, but which
have excited much dissatisfaction here. The Authorities are very
vigilant in their measures towards the suppression of piracy."
The Buenos Ayres papers are all regularly received in Monte Vi-
deo, and read, and man► officers and soldiers are bound to the
country in various respects. " o,te has cattle, another a wile,
Another children or friends." The following advertisement, there-
fore, which was sent from Rio Janeiro, will not be calculated to
conciliate them :
" TO ALL THE INHABITANTS Or CISPLATIXA.
[Here are placed two human heads, with the words " infamy"
and '• traitor ;" and 3,000 and 3.000 milreas.l
" Thirteen friends have united and subscribed a sum of seven
thousand mil reas for the following purpose—three thousand to the
person who will deliver the head of the infamous traitor Juan An-
tonio Lavalleja ; and four thousand to whoever will deliver the
head of the traitor Fructuoso Rivera.
" An order has been sent to Don Francisco Munoz and Don
Dervaxia Herm, in Monte Video, to pay the above sums to the
persons who may deliver up the said heads, without the bodies, of
the above-mentioned individuals."

The Elections are proceeding throughout the kingdom
with great spirit; but we are happy to find that acrimony
is apparent in few of the places where contests are going
on. The Citizens have shown their opinion of the merits
of Alderman THOMPRON and Mr. WARD, by placing each
of them in so respectable a place on the poll ; indeed the
former has shown himself a most efficient Member of Par-
liament, anxiously alive to the commercial interests of the
country ; and although the latter has never had an oppor-
tway of proving his usefulness, he has Lot been wanting
in the manifestation of his public spirit on more titan one
occasion. The eminent merchants of London, during the
late war, set many glorious examples to the country of un-
mixed patriotism. In 1792,when revolutionary France threat-
ened destruction to settled Governments and every institu-
tion connected with social order, they were the first to rally
round the throne and the altar, and to chew that English-
men were neither to be intimidated by the threats of Re-
gicides or the sophistry of Atheists. In 1797, when commer-
cial and financial embarrassments overahadowed the pros-
perity of the kingdom, the London merchants were fore-
most in strengthening the hands of the Minister, to enable
him to overcome the difficulties that surrounded him.—
In 1803, when danger threatened us from without, the
City took the lead, in preparing for an attack that the
firmness of Englishmen alone prevented from taking place.
—Most of us recollect the advantage that resulted from the
promptitude of the mercantile body, in checking the
mis-
chief that the commercial distress of 1810 would in all pro-
bability have otherwise produced. On a recent occasion,
the same anxiety to avert danger, and the same charitable
disposition to avert misery, have been evinced.—The
citizens of London have, on most occasions, nobly answered
the call when their country bas been in danger; but their
public spirit would have been, we suspect, inefficient, had
not their efforts been properly directed; and it is just such
men as Alderman Timm esoz and Mr. WARD, who have
been ready to direct the energies of :heir fellow-citizens at
such periods, and who, posses,ing great wealth and the fair
influence connected with wealth, have exercised it for the
public good, and have not considered their independence
weakened by supporting the measures of the Government,
or that true patriotism can nowhere be found but in the
persons of those who receive the cheers of a mob.

CITY, m _oxnAr EVENING.

Nothing is thought of but the Elections--the Stock-Exchanges
have been deserted for the Hustings. The first bargains in Con-
sols were done at 84 ; and after reaching they closed at I. But
the business was extremely limited, from the circumstance that we
have referred to. Exchequer Bills have declined, on account of
some heavy sales. The Foreign market was heavy, particularly
south American Securities, which hod an evident tendency to
decline. Mexican Six per Cents. were 61 2, and Colombian
Bonds 40. A.

principal vocal and instrumental talents of the ceuntry

KEAN.—A very crowded and brilliant house greeted
Kean on gis re-appearance at New York, in Richard the
Third. He looks rather thin, but played with uncommon
force, ability, and spirit, and made several new points.
We learn that he has leased a house on the banks of the
Hudson. He also appeared in Othello.
Nliss F. H. Kelly is performing tragedy at the Liverpool
Theatre, where she has an engagement for a short time.
The principal London stars will follow as soon as their en-

popular Paid Pry—ably performed by Mr. Bets; the com-
pany is highly respectable.
