official reports of the taking of Seville, tlieivida,
'and The two former ei ents were indked
in our paper on Friday last. We give, this day,
the official report of the capture of Alalaga. It is
en acquisition certainly of great importance, and
moat greatly assist the operations of the French in
Andalusia. Sonie modifications have lieeu made in
the Concordat, and the Emperor of Russia has en-
tirely new-modelled his Council of State. The official
accounts of these subjects are given at length in the
‘Voniieur, along with a copy of the Treaty of
peace between France and Sweden. The substance
of the latter is slimly known. Sweden recover'
Pomerania, and agrees to enter completely into the
800 APASTE system.

We have received German Papers to the 2lth
ult. They contain an account of the measures
taken by Boa Parra. in prosecution of his system
for the exclusion of British Commerce from ►he
Continent.

We have received Cadiz Papers to the 24th la.t.
—The works fur the defence of that city are carried
on with activity, and the citizens display a deter-
mined spirit of resistance. The French a •nt in
another Flag of Truce on the 21dt, but the papers
and dispatches brought by it .wera burned by the
common banginan.

We hare received New-York papers to the 30th
of January, containing an account of the proceed-
ings in Cengrees, up to the 24th inclusive. The
Bill for equipping the vessels of war of the United
States was passed iu the Senate on the 23d. *ix
members only voting in the negative. Mr. M acne's
Bill, the principle of which is to substitute Non-
linportatioo for Nou-lutercoarse, had been the sub-
ject of ardent and almost uninterrupted debate, up
to the 24th, on wh:cla day the sense of the House
had not been yet taken upon the main question.
Mr. llhomy, it is said, had expressed his appro-
bation of the measure, and it was the general opi-
Mon that it would pass. A letter from
ton, dated the 2.5 th, states, that it was ordered to
be engrossed on that by a majority of Ayes 72.
Noes 65 ; ■nd that it was to he read a third time on
the 27th. The writer of the letter also expresses his
belief that it will pass the Senate.
Mr. MACoa, its a deba'e on the 23d. in the House.
of Representatives, upon his Bill, said. that " to
go to war now, would be to give Great Britain
100,000,000 of American property, and that it
would be unfair to attack Euglaud. when America
had just sent hers message of peace, assuring her,
that although she had dismissed her Minister for
indecorous conduct, she was ready to receive soo-
ther."

Mr. JACKSON, it appears; rerra;ns at New York.
On the 45th lie attended the City Assembly-room,

Dispatches and letters were received on Saturday
at the India House, from China, to the sth Oc-
tober, brought to New York by an American brig,
and forwarded to England by the Packet.
We are happy to state that the fleet for China
had arrived out safe on the 20th of September. It
consisted of the following ships, under convoy of
the St. Alban's ,aen of war, viz. Princess Amelia,
Glatton, Albion, Thames, Royal Charlotte, C'outts,
and Marquis of Ely, The Nottingham and Per-
see eeeeee had also arrived at China from Madras.

It is also cotnunicatedthat the Emperor .f Cat x A
has never been perfectly reconciled to the British,
since the proceedings which took place at Macao
la,t year. under the orders of Admiral DAURT:-.
The Chinese look upon us with a jealous eye ; and
such wss the state of thing. when the last advice'
came away, that our ships were not permitted to
proceed up to Cantoa. as usual. On representa-
tions bring made, aa order had been procured from
the Emperor, who was at Pekin, to suffer British
ships to brin;„.tn at the secoug bar, but not unload,
till further orders.

The Ladrones in that quarter were becoming
more formidable every day. Sixty of their boats,
under Ltsrne, had attacked the Bo►racort• brig
of war about the latter end of September ; after a
few broadsides they retired. Captain KA Y, of the
Morquig of Ely, hii,ing unfortunately sent his
boat with the first officer and seven men i:ito Macao
fur fresh provir;ons, intelligence was soon after
re:civet' that the Ladrones had captured them, and
had demanded., their ransoms 40,0)0 dollars. Some
of these pirate boats mount i 6 guns.
Cements-a American ships and toi:!ve country
ships were at IVharupea, and tv.o A 111,*(1C41.! at !Un-
cap; the latter were waiting the arrival of • fey
more of their countrymen, in order to proceed in
company, for fear of the t.ad►ones.
