N IDRID, AUGUST 4.

The English Arnbassailor.it to said, required
severer measures to he adopted for preventing the
Slave Trade, which is earned on by Spanish ships
from Cuba to the Prince's Islamd in the Gulf of
Guinea. This island bring to the north of the.
Line, the Slave Trade ought to be abolished there
in pursuance of Treaties ; but we have not the
means of establishing crn'sers of observation there,
besides, the cultivation of the island of Cuba stands
in need of hands.
Accounts from Cadiz furnish positive informs-
tints respecting the rannitxuvres employed to make
the troops revolt. Very extensive correspondence,
projects of proclamations, pamphlets brought lions
shroud, and the most rvideut proof of a conspirricy,
which has been in regress for several months, have
been seized. It is certain that while the troops in
the camp of Vittoria were to have seized upon
Cadiz and the fleet, the bands in Estramsdura. as
also those which appeared in the riivirtii4 of Oio-
prza, meant to advslice on the Tagus; and act as cir.
cumsr niers might f.s•our these first attempts. The
Comes was to have been assembled, and a republic
proclaimed.
Royal Commissioners have been sent to Cadiz.
with instructions to investigate every part of this
conspiracy. In the wean (line the strictest orders
have been given on the fraidirrs on the side of
France to prevent the introduction of newspapers.
pamphlets. and clandestine correspondence, which
the muleteers who trav,.rse the Pyrenees bring
into Biscay, Navarre. Arragon, and Catalonia.
Several letters have lately been seized, written in
cipher, of which the k.y tots been discovered. W e
are assured that they throw a great light on all
these events.
The prohibition against certain French Journals
ought nut to surprise any reasonable person. These
Journals affect to publish the ssio.t seditious pro.
elamations from chiefs of rehels. It is more sue-
prising that they should have dune so with impu-
nity.

ROPE, AUGUST 4.

The cruisers of the American Insurgents urea-
sionady appear on our coast. We are assured that
they are watching the valuable effects ofCharleslV.
of -Strain, which will be embarked at Gaeta to be
transported to Barcelona.
The measures lately adopted against the robbers,
who continue to isifra the great roads, will be
executed with vigour, and hopes are eittertailied
that the country will be ■t length delivered from
those wretches who have too long been treated with
lenity.
The immense labour of drawing the Tibe► is at
length commenced. Forty shares, taken by Eng•
lislimen, have been sold, hecaose they could not
furnish the necessary security for payment. The
works are begun near Santo Paolo, but the machine
seems too weak to draw from the river great weights.
The thing however, is worth trying. particularly as
the expense ardl be defrayed by foreigners.
