Authorities of Campeaehy against Spain. On the ;MI of
March this force was within twelve miles of Campeachy ;
and the merchants, in consequoLte of thi it advice e, were
making preparations to leave it. _

The'gpaiowhawk sloop of war, Captain the lion. R. S.
Dundas, will nil about Wednesday next, with Doo,oooL
of a new coinage, for the local circulation of Rio le Janeiro
and the Brazilian towns. This freight is about cne-thisd
of a Loan from the London Monied Interest to the new
Brazilian Empire. We understand that the whole Loan
will be coined into debased pieces of money, for the pur-
pose of preventing its exportation from the Brazils. The
remainder will speedily follow in some other man of war.
The Sparrowhawk will proceed from Rio Janeiro to the
Mediterranean station.—Porisrooseth Paper.
The Stanmore, a Calcutta country ship, ander English
colours, has been captured off the coast of Chia, by some
Royalist privateers, and carried to the island of Chiloe, the
whole of which beautiful country is still in the possession
of the Royalist troops. This ship was dee•dedfy envggling
on the coast, and though under Engliah co ours, was
known to belong to Chilians before she sailed from Cal-
cutta, and of which she was cautioned by this In lion
authorities.

Poarrisouro, Jurra 3.—The Blossom will proceed to
Woolwich, to be paid off; after the specie has been lauded
from her. Part of this treasure was shipped on board the
Blossom in May, 1S::3, at Arequ pa ; but the shippers
were well aware that the Blossom was not then under
orders for England, but, on the contrary, knew she wyedd
be again in the same port in the following Breather.
The money was shipped, for safe castody ; bqt, to avoid
paying the custodial freight, it was nominallyshippd for
England. These shippers instantly remit their bills of
lading to Leaden, but conceal the tact that the chip is net
about to leave the station.

COW'S, JUNS S.—ROYAL Y•CHT Ccus.—At a Meet-
ing of this dis:inguiahed Society at Cowes on the
Ist of June, six new Members were added to the
list by ballot. Two candidates were unsuccessful, from
their qualifications being defective-86e yacht beiag and r
twenty tone, sad the certificate of registry of the ether,
bearing two names as owners, instead of one. The Ho..
norary Members were three Admirals and 18 Captains.
The importance of the Royal Yacht Club, independent of
the Royal and dignified names on the list, may well be es-
timated from the known fact, viz. that the aggregate
tonnage of the Yachts amounts at this time to nearly
5000, and that 500 seatuen arc employed in navigating the
sam.s.—The Pearl cutter, for the first time since her recent
new outfit, with the Marquis of Anglesey on board,
appeared in Cowes RoAdstead, in full plsoltuele of
superior beauty and appearamv, basing all sails set,
with a gentle breeze from N.E. The Sabrina, James.
Mane, Esq. is nearly fitted, and will go out of harbour.
and proceed to London, to take her owner on board, in a
few days: and Thomas A. Smiths, Esq. Jack-a-Lanthorn.
is expected from Hastings, next week. Tke Duke of Nor-
folk's, Swallow, has not yet made her appearance, but is
hourly looked for ; his Grace having take a the King
house at Cowes for the summer.—The Treat arrangemenis
snaking for the Regatta, now fixed for th., 18th August,
bespeak a very gratifying display, and tram the private
contests that are to take pace, the whole aquatic business
this year must prose unusually interesting.
Miss NI cA t tr Y.—Miss Macauley has, we understand,
made an application to the Managers ut both the winter
theatres to be permitted to perform three or four nights at
each house. Some painful misapprehensions as to the
cause of her dismissal from the theatres has, we understand,
induced her to adopt this measure as necessary to establish
her professional fame. Her application has, however,
been rejectest, but no reasan assigned why she is refused.
This is strange and mysterious, and we think this lad
called upon to explain what cause can exist to provoke such
hostility towards her, or why she should be positively de-
nied a evillest and an appeal to public judgment, whil we
cannot think unreasonable.
