Tuesday American papers arrived to the 12th June. They
bring intelligence of the proceedings of the Co egress, with
the accounts of the Army, alai of the Finances laid before
that Assembly by the respective Ministers in those depart-
ments. Among the principal cause of disputes with the Re-
publican Government has been, that fraudulent protections
obtained by foreigners in the character of American sea-
men.—Mr. DANA had presented a Bill to avoid this abuse ;
end, as a further measure of conciliation towards Great Bri-
tain, he proposed to require security of the Masters of Ame-
rican vessels that they will not enter any port declared to
be in a state of blockade.
Joseph Buonaparte has passed Decrees far the sale of
the Spanish national property, under which denomination
are included the estates belonging to the suppressed monas-
teries, Sze. At the same time be has renewed his former
declaration, that the Spanish national debt, subsisting in
the form of Vales Reales, shall be held sacred ; and has
provided that the purchase money of those national estates
may be paid for in fates Reales, which are to be received
at their full nominal value. This, like so many acts of
the French Government, is, under the shew of great libe-
rality- and honour, in reality a measure of deep policy and
refined caaniu4. -

Constitution. With respect to the horses with which they
are of liged to furnish travellers, each peasant is now to
drive his own boric., to receive twelve shillings Swedish for
every six miles, and to be allowed one hour and a half to

all classes, and the peasant may buy an estate with the same
privileges as a Nobleman.
Letters from Pampeluna state, that Ferdinand VII. and
his brother are still in confinement in the Castle of Val-
ency. They are not allowed to read even the French
newspapers, and are kept in profound ignorance of the

who were Spaniards, have been removed from their per-

Extract of a Letter from Capt. (bate, Commander of his Ma.
jesty's ploop the iilusqiiitn, addressed to Rear-Aditiral Sir R.
Stradlat), and trair-mittcd to the lion. W. W. Pole, dated in

•
the River Elbe, July 9, ISO).
I proceeded up this river with his Majesty's vessels named in
the margin*, and anchored out of gun-shut of the battery at
Cuxhaven, on the lthinst. and as it was too strong- to be attack-
ed by his Majesty's vessels, I w;l3 determined on landing, and
taking it by storm, having previously made the accessary pre.
partitions for that purpose.
At day light on the morning of the Sth, I disembarked wiih
Capt. Watts, of the Ephira, and the commanding °Ulcers, sea-
men, and marines, of the respective vessels; the first boats that
landed were fired upon by the enemy's adv:niced post, and thcy
then retreated to the battery ; we marched on to storm, but,
from our appearance, the enemy thought proper to retreat,
about eighty in number, so that we took the battety (which had
six guns, twenty-lour pounders, :id surrounded by a wet ditch)
without opposition; his Majesty's colours were then hoisted on
the French flag-stair, And afterwards those of Hamburg!, on the
castle of Kitzbuttle; we then dismounted the gates, and put
them on hoard of vessels lying in the harbour, as well as several
other small pieces of cannon, with all the shot and military
stores. The battery was then mulermined, and, by a variety of
explosions, blown up, I then gave the town of Cuxhaven in
trust to the Civil Gavernor, and embarked all the seamen and
marines. Two French gun-boats, with two guns each, which
were lying in the harbour, were also taken posses:ion of.
Although we did not meet with thr oppositiou that was ex;
peeted (as the French had sometimes five hundred men, at other
times about one hundred, at Cuxhaven), yet I think it my duty
to inform you of tile activity and good conduct of the Command-
ers, Commanding Officers, seameu, and marines, on this occa-
sinn, as it was partly from their regularity, in forming and
marching, that induced the enemy to retreat. Capt. Pruett, of
the Briseis, coannaaded afloat, and got that vessel under weigh
to assist, had it been necessary.
