BREMEN. SEPT. 22.

According to letters worthy of credit, which have
been received from Tangier, the Barbarians are
again making formidable preparations For piracy.—
The Spanish Governinent has received from Algiers
reports that leave no doubt on this head ; and it
appears, that, in future, they will not respect some
Bags which hitherto escaped. Spain is resolved, in
reality, to make all efforts to prevent the coming
out of the pirates ; but it would nevertheless be de.
sirable that measures should be taken in common,
and that the negociations which have been, it is said,
some time renewed in London on this subject,
might promptly produce a result proper to dissipate
a danger so eminent, the rather, as it is certain
that a plague reigns on the whisk coast, and at
Tangier.
MADRID, SZIPTEMDEI 24.
The repair which our Ministerial edifice has
undergone has not changed the exterior form of it ;
every thing here appears as before : the same reserve •
on the affairs of our Colonies—profound silence on
the state of our diplomatic relations with the Powers
assembled at Aix-la-Chapelle. Oar Gazette is one
of desperate barenaess. The extracts of the mili-
tary details of Mexico go no farther then theAlrat
fortnight in March.
The Viceroy of Lima has written nothing
since the month of April, and the news from Gene-
ral Morillo is of the mouth of May.
Private letters from Gallicia seem to 'nominee
that there have been some popular movements. To
this cause is attributed the read of Captain-Gene-
ral Sank Marc, who was not liked in this country,
where several office's are in prison since the affair
of Pother, and demand to be brought to trial.

The departure of M. Garay has produced bet
one species of momentary stagastionin commerchil
negociations. The Royal rafts do not observe a
steady course. People wait the first steps of his
successor to knew what plan he will adhere to, and
they hope that be will not overturn the established
system. This part of the Ministry is the most
difficult to fill ; accordingly it has been renewed
seven times since the return df our Sovereigu into
his kingdom.
M. Lozano de Torres has gained a real victors
over M. de Pizarro. These two Ministers we in
declared opposition. We are even assured that,
obliged to meet one *nether every instant in the
saloons of the Palaceotherdid not solute, to such
an excess was their animosity carried.
People hope much from M. Casa-fru:O. if he is ,
definitively charged with the department of the
Secretaryship of State, or the exterior relations.
None of his colleagues can rival him in diptomatie
knowledge, and besides he is not of a character to
yield easily to the impressions of another; he gave
unequtvo►el proofs of it during his residence at '
Weshitigtou. N. Pizarro had proposed him, it is

According to a Royal Ordinance, the non-con-

mouth of October, in payment of the fifth part of
the duties of customs and of contributions, sunder a
deduction of 79 per cent hats, provided they have
been negotiated at 84 per cent. Some letters from
Cadiz state that the labours for suing out the te-
pedition destined for America ate not tonird on
with so much activity as the arrival of Gerueual
Criont de I'Abisbal had made be hoped, and that
the cause of this tarPiness is 'the scarcity of money.
Nevertheless, on divers points of Spain the troops
have received orders to direct themselves on Ands-
Ineia ; two regiments tire going to be embarked at
Barcelona for Cadiz; other regiments of the inte-
rior and the coasts are ready to put themselves in
march for the same destination; and, in a short time,
the troops will arrive at the place of their embarka-
tion.

HAMBURGH PAPERS.

HAMBURG% OCTOBER I.

We have received the following document, the
importance of which renders it worthy of public
attention. It is the Note lately presented by the
Spanish Minister for Foreign Affitirs to the Ambas-
sador Plenipotentiary of the United States of Ame-
rica, and winch contains the Protest against the
occupation of a part of the territory of Florida :

NOTE.
" the department confided tome, disagreeable

aerosols continue to be received concerning the nature and
circumstances of the late events in Florida, and the hostile
proceedings of the American General Jackson and the troops
under his command in the territory of those provinces which
belong to his Majesty. Besides she feet. to which 1 invited
the attention of your Excellency in my Notes of the !6th
July, and of the 6th and 11th of this month, I hove slow
before me the copy of a Capitulation which it appears fol-
lowed the hostilities committed by that General against the
fortress of Pensacola, and in consequence of which the Spa-
nish garrison has been conveyed to the Manmit'.

4 la my preceding Notes I had the honour to inform your
Excellency, that, notwithstanding the particular character of
violence which seemed to mark the actions and operations
of General Jackson, since his first entrance into the Floridity,
his Naivety, although he considered these proceedings as
the arbitrary ads of the said General, was convinced that
the Government of the United Stales would no longer delay
to disapprove them, as swan as they came within its know-
ledge, and that proper orders would immediately be giveu,
not Only for the evacuation of the territory invaded, but also
for the reparation of the damage occasioned, and for the re-
storation of the property taken, which belonged, as well to
his Majesty and Spanish subjects, as also to strangers, who
live there under the protection of his Majesty's Government.

" It could wet be 'presumed, without offence to the inte-
grity of the American Government, that there would be any
delay in giving satisfaction to a friendly Power, and to all
civilised nations, this testimony of respect for those princi-
ples on which the maintessance of social order depends.
It was with profound allietion that bis Majesty !mint from

approved, be had not hesitated to comfiest* Ws acts of vio.
