LONDON: MONDAY, Julys 5, 1825.

We have rcceivtd the French Papers of the 2d, and the
Et44/Fe of the 341 .nstant. The Jqurnal des Debuts; if its
correspondence fpm Madrid can be depended-upon, con-
tains a very imprtant piece of intelligence from that
capital. It is ase-Tte4l that Mr. Ls sin went to Aranjnez
on account of certain negotiations relative to the debt due
by Spain to England, which likd already been begun in the
time of the Corns, but could not be brought to a satisfac-
tory conclusion. In these Mr. LA)111 is said to have
eompletely succeeted; as a commission has just been named,
composed of M. IIEREDIA, the brother of the Ex-Minister
the Count of Orrati.a, of a Counsellor of State, and of a
Counsellor of Finances. These are directed to examine
different claims, 'and to decide on those which are admis-
sible. The amount of the sums claimed, adds the jour-
nalist, is two millions of philtres, about 450,000/.
The discovery of a Printing-office in the Convent of the
Capuchins de Fa Paeieneirt. at Madrid, and of a number
of copies of as apocryphal proclamation of Mt NA'S, was
mentioned by us some time ago. We learn now that the
press has since been removed to the Suburb del Avapies,
where it has again been traced by the Police. A variety of
passports were found, in which the signature of RECACIIO
wasso well imitated, that he has found it necessary to make
inquiries whether means had not been found by some of
his clerks to obtain them from him surreptitiously..

arc extracts:—

NUREMIIEHG, MAT 26.

We learn from Saxony that the trustees of the house of Reich.
enbach have now come to the conclusion that a dividend of 40
per cent. may certainly be paid, and pe:haps in the sequel 13i
per cent. more. It now remains for the creditors to decide
whether they will accept this composition, or leave the matter
to be settled by the Courts of Justice. There is little doubt they
will prefer the former. As the principal partner in the house at
Leipsig possesses the greatest knowledge of commercial aft.tirs,
and an uncommon clearness of a•yle, both in writing and speaking,
it were to be wished that he might commence a new career, either
in is public oflice, or as a sailer, in which he would not fail to dis.
tinguish himself.
When the modification of the E•tglish Corn Laws was made
known, the price of wheat along the Seale rose from lio to 40
per cent.; but, as might be expected, has since fallen 20 per
cent.-11'uremberg Correspondent.

BEE LIN, MAY 20.

The letter from his Majesty the Ring to the Duchess of Anhalt
Coethen is now printed by superior permission, under the title of
Genuine Letter of a great Protestant Prince to one of his relations,
on her embracing the Catholic Religion." It is pure' ised with
extraordinary stvidity. The official publication of this remark-
able letter was the more necessary, as the many copies in circulation
contained not only mistakes, but even evident falsifications. Our
journnls. howevsr, will not publish it.

IVe bare received regular flits of American P,pers to Rth
May. The following accounts from the Cape de Verd Islands
contained in than, come down to a date so late as the 16th
March. They are highly important, not only on account
of the remarks which they make on the threatened attack
of the King of BARA on the English settlements in the
Gambia, but from the allusion which is made to some
proceedings of the Redwing, which are likely to produce
diplomatic discussions between the English and American
Cabinets. It appears that Captain MERCHANT, of the
brig Pharos, which arrived at Easton on the lot of May from
Africa, reported that on 6th December, whilst he was at
Sierra Leone, which place he left on the Nth January, a
boat was sent on board from the English sloop of war
Redwing, Capt. Cr.r.v camp, who forcibly took from the
Pharos two of her crew, notwithstanding the remonstrances
of Capt. MERCHANT. The editor of the Ihrton Patriot
remarks strongly upon this act, and recapite.ates various
circumstances of agrression on the part of Capt. City': u-
pro, when in command of the Iphigenia, in Is2e, off the
American coast. The probability, however, is, that Capt.
CLEWCRINdS version of this transaction is 'cry different
from that of the American editor ; and that the men he
seized were two deserters from the British navy.—We
observe in these papers that a Bill Ills passed the Senat,
allowing the representatives of General Alas ES II Az EN the
amount due for the loss of half-pay as a Li:.utenant in the
British army, in consequence of his entering the service of
the United States, agreeably to a resolution of Congress of
177 G. This act of the Senate is rather ma/ aprory at this
moment, when the United Statcsnevitspapers are inveighing
against a British officer, for depriving them, as they assm,
of two of their sailors.

By the accounts rcreived from Hayti, it appears that tho
Proclamation of the President, which we lately gave ex-
clusively, was dictated by a dcuire of conciliating the public

feeling in the Island, which had been extremely irritated
by the publication of the Treaty with France. A rebellion
had even broken out in one of the distant arrondissements,
which was only suppressed by the decision and promptitude
which Hovel' displayed on the occasion. He proceeded
without delay to the spot in which the disturbance had
taken place, and made such an impression on the mutineers,
wbo were completely surprised, that their principal leader
shot himself, and all his officers were taken and imprisoned.
The British Consul had not arrived at Hayti on the 6th
April, and it was not the opinion of the English merehan's
there, that the loan which the Ilaytian Government were
attempting to negotiate in the Island would prove succtas-
ful. With regard to Cuba, the Avian Mexicana of Feb.
28, published in Mexico, remarks, " It is generally said
that the Chamber of Deputies lies determined not to deli-
berate at present upon the expedition to the Island of
Cuba, and to this end has adopted a proposition to suspend
decision on the sulji et." Yet it was reported at Vera
Cruz in the end of March that the expedition was about
to sail. It is added, that the Mexican naval squadron at
Vera Cruz consisted of a frigate and five brigs. The fol-
lowing extract of a Ittier from the llavannah, dated
April 13, shews how little the Government of the Ila-
vAnnah are able to undertake foreign expeditions:—

" Our Consoled° last nig!lt '0 .1: into tonsi tlerto inn the propriety
of endeavouring t o procure in Cogl.ind a loan of four millions of
dollars, morgaging the whole rents of this province torten!' the
payment of principal and interest. . No doubt they will make the
trial.

Our Government has I een forthese twelve months past engaged
in devising some mode of contribution, by which to support the
expenses of this island—they grope about in the dark—the expen-
diture has incressctl—the receipts most also be increased. At any
rate the contribution, or pay a kind' of direct tax, affecting esery
body, will soon and infallibly take place. The people here have,
accordingly. nicknamed contriimties that which you term lido.-
eon in the United States—a bad cold, with cough, which spares
nobody."

We subjoin an extract from the Constitucional, which
gives exactly our views respecting the affairs of Brazil and
Colombia

[From the Constilurionall
It has been insinuated, we will venture to say most unjustly, that
General Bolivar himself it not averse to our interfering in the dis-
pute between Brazil and the Republic of Rio de la Plata. Thu
he has felt indignant at the conduct of the Etnperor, and that he
should be favourable to the claims of the Republic, is. we think,
very probable, and to be expected from a man of his high sense of
honour; but we feel too much confidence in his political sagacity
to imagine for a moment that he would unnecessarily precipitate
his country in a war with one at co great a distance. and thereby in.
wive it in difficulties with other Powers, which might place in
danger its very existence. We have not the slightest fear of any
event of this kind taking place ; and we only r, gret that the im-
prudence of some writers, in attributing to the President such de-
signs, has placed us in the necessity of noticing it, and skewing the
improbability of his entertaining views which could not but fail to
have an injurious effect on his reputation in Europe, and be eagerly
seized on by the partizans of legitimacy, as a fair pretext for shower-
ing on hint all that abuse, which everything that is liberal or manly
sure to meet with at their hands.

CITY, SATURDAY EVENING.

There was ho importance to be attached to the transactions in the
money markets this morning. Consuls for the Account once reached
80.4 ; but the closing price was I. Other English Securities were
without variation. The Foreign Market was in the same languid
state that we have notice .1 for several days past, and the quotations
remained as wt have previously reported then.

According to the intelligence received at the North and
South American Coffee House on Satur.lay, it appears that
the Spanish Royalist fleet, consisting of one line of battle
ship, five frigates, three corvettes, and a schooner, were in
Jago de Cuba, fully provisioned and well equipped, waiting
for a reinforcement from Spain, which by report was to
consist of three line of battle ships, several frigates, and
3,000 troops, under General Morales, and an immediate
descent upon Santa Martha and Maracaibo was expected.
We think this account fully as ridiculous as the stories of
the invisinn of rube by the p2trinta of Colombia. We
have no doubt both are most exaggerated statements, and
that neither of these operations is now seriously con-
templated.
Extract of a letter from Cambridge:—" The inconsistent
Statements made by some of the Candidates of their strength,
and the various arguments so perseveringly used, to frighten.
persuade, and even supplicate Mr. Goulhurn to retire from
the present contest, are extremely amusing to us residents,
who are, perhaps, a little more in the secret, and know
something of the real state of things. To us, it is palpable
that such effusions are sure marks of weakness and dismay ;
and knowing, as we do, the relative strength of the several
contending parties, their private histories, moral and poli-
tical, with this determination of many of the best friends of
Alma Mater to exereis, on the present occasion, a consistent
as well as virtuous judgment. we are glad to learn that the
Secretary for Ireland has declared his intentions to perse-
vere to the utmost ; and that, believing it would he d. sert-
ing his duty to the Protestant cause if he now retired, he
has again declined the representation for Dublin, so ho-
norably oft.red to him by the united voices of all parties in
that city."
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ELECTION.-117e have autho-
rity far stating that Monday and Tuesday, the Nth and
13th instant, are the days fixed for the election of Members
for the University of Cambridge. There are four candi-
dates, all on the Ministerial interest,and each having a great
number of zealous partizans in Cambridge. They are,
the Attorney-G.areral, Viscount Palmerston, H. Goulburn,
Esq., and W. Dankes, Esq.

Yesterday a requisition to the Mayor of this borough,
signed by upwards of eighty householders, chiefly working
manufacturers, was presented at the Court-house, request-
ing him to call a public meeting of the inhabitants, for the
purpose of " inquiring into the causes of the present un-
paralelled distress, and the most speedy and effectual means
of removing the same." The Mayor replied,\ " That he
could not with propriety accede to the requisition ; that he
did not think such a meeting competent to determine the
causes of the existing distress, nor could it answer any
useful purpose, as no opportunity was at the present al-
forded of submitting any proposed remedy to the consi-
deration. of Parliament; that the best means had been
adopted for relieving the distress under which the country
laboured, and he doubted not world still continue to be
thus beneficially applied." The deputation then retired.—

A stranger to metrapo'itan theatricals, in viewing the
bill of fare at Covent-garden, for Jones's benefit, to-mcr-
row night, would imagine that he was a mere suckling
actor, anxious to procure as much talent as possible for his
benefit, being timid lest his own merits shotrld not gain
him public patronage. No performer might snore safely
have trusted to his own popularity than Mr. Jones; but as
he has provided so rich a treat, we have no doubt his
friends will readily partake of it.

THE MuRDER AT WINTON.—Kirby Lonadale, May 31.
—A great sensation was caused by the arrival of Lavender,
Mears the landlord, and others, by the Newcastle coach
this morning, on their way to Appleby, where the mur-
derers, M'Keans, have been secured by a man of the name
of Grime, on Monday last, the following detail of which we
believe to be correct:—Grime had heard of the murder and
description of those suspected, and fancied he recognized them
passing through Appleby • he immediately informed the
constables of that place, who agreed to join him in the pur-
suit ; but Grime was so eager that he got a horse and over-
took them on the road to Kirby Stephen, fell into con-
versation, and his swpiciora being strengthened, be pas,cd
them. On caning to a lone public house, he put up
his horse. One of them being a cansidtrable distance
before the other, Gtime accosted the latter, saving, " You
appear rather fatigued, will you take a glass ?" He
said " Yes." There was not another man near, nothing
but women in the house, but Grime had the temerity
to seize him ; a violent struggle ensued, be overpow-
ered him, and bound him fast, after 'trivial; taken a
loaded pistol from him. Ile then, with assistance, pur-
sued and overtook the other, succeeded in securing him
also, had them lodged in prison, and sent off' to Manchester
immediately. Lavender has ordered beds in Lancaster to-
night at the King's Arms, and in half an hour we hope to
see the villains by the returning coach."
