SPANISH PAPERS.

CEUTA, JULY 16.—The Moorish Ramadan, or
Lent, has suspended all communications, and kept
us from knowing wlutt was passing in the Empire of
Morocco. It appears, however, that important ope-
rations have taken place ; and, according to the
latest intelligence, that Muley Zeid, having learned
that his uncle Soliman had prepared a formidable
expedition against him, set out for New Fez with
his troops, and having defeated those of his uncle,
took the whole train of artillery, consisting of six-
teen cannon, three mortars, and a large quantity of
ammunition. Muley Zeid then entered New Fez
with his army, whence he intended to march the next
week to Teutan and this district, doubtless to act
against Tangier (Cohils de Angharu), which remains
faithful to his uncle.

BARCELONA, JULY 15.—Captain D. A Sorrano,
Counsel for D. George Besieres, appealed from the
sentence of death passed upon him by the Court-
martial, and approved of by the Captain-genera),
because his client, he s:thl, ought not to have been
tried by the law of the 26th of April, and because
of other informalities. The execution was in con-
sequence suspended. We want expressions to de-
scribe the enthusiasm which this happy news pro-
duced in this city. D. Be3ieres had shed his blood
in the war for our independence ; he participated in
the attempt of the heroic Lacy ; he bad greatly con-
tributed in the year 20 to the triumph of our Con-
stitution; he is the father of a family, and u stranger.
How many reasons to interest a generous people !
A nation which manifests such noble sentiments is
worthy of liberty and the high destinies to which it
' is called by Providence.
MADRID, JULY 26.—The diary of the proceedings
at Cadiz respecting the fatal events of the 10th of
March is now published. Our papers begin to make
some extracts front this immense body of evidence.
His Majesty continues to enjoy good health.
LISVON, JULY 20.—The deree of the Cortex re-
specting the establishment of the civil lists is now
published. The King's civil list is 365,000,000
rees per annum, payable in two equal instalments
to the persons whom his Majesty shall appoint.—
The palace of Adjuda, Alcantara, Mafia, Salvaterra,
Vendos, Novas, and Cintra, are assigned for the
habitation and recreation of the King, with all their
appurtenances and dependencies. The revenues of
the House of llraganza will be paid into the public
treasury. During the absence of the Prince Royal,
the King shall receive the revenues of the Casa del
Infantado, assigning to the Infant Don Michael
such a revenue as his Majesty shall think tfit. The
Infantas shall have a revenue of 400,000 rees per
mouth. The Queen shall have the Casados Ruin-
has, and all the revenues attached to it. _ _

The Cortes continue to discuss the plan of the
Pot uguese constitution.

N i.w YORK, JULY Il.—Commode Barren.—
The Court of Enquiry in the case of Commmodore
Barron, dosed its sittings yesterday ; and, if we are
correctly intbrined, there was not a shadow of evi-
dence in support of the surmises against this gentle-
man's character,

SAVANNAH, JULY, 3.—We learn from St. Au-
gustine that the Spaniards were engaged in ship-
ping off to Havannall the munitions of war at that
place—and that the surrender of the province would
not be made to the American Government before
the 20th inst. From the quibbling conduct of the
Spanish authorities, we are of opinion that they will
not surrender Florida before the 22d of August, the
day which the treaty specifies for its delivery. Then
they will be forced to relinquish.
HALIFAX, JUNE 27,—His Majesty's brig Bel-
icht., during the lust cruize, detained, and sent into
Digby, 13 American fishing vessels.
We received Newfoundland papers to the 15th
instant. On the sth the cargo of the schooner
Alatchiess, consisting of 651 barrels and 25 half
barrels of flour, and 200 bags of bread, which was
shipped at this port, and seized by the officers of his
Majesty's customs immediately upon its arrival at
St. John's, was condemned in the Court of Vice-
Admiralty there, on account of its being the property
of aliens, inhabitants of Boston. The claimants, it
is said, gave notice of their intention of appealing
against the decision of the court.

stood, the collector at St. John's having, after due
consultation with legal characters, abandoned the
idea of extending its provisions to Passamaquoddy-
bay : he has, in consequence, given the collector at
Indian Island positive orders not to enter or clear a
single American. Instructions will, we understand,
likewise be forwarded to the collector here, not to
clear out any English vessel with American pro-
duce, that shall not have been taken on board within
the bars of this harbour, where all Americans must
unload. American vessels, therefore, found loading
or unloading in British waters, unless within the
specified limits, will be liable to seizure and con-
demnation. British vessels loading with American
produce, admitted by the act (stanling, planks,
staves, heading boards, shingles, hoops, horses, neat
cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, or live stock of any
sort; bread, biscuits, flour, peas, beans, potatoes,
wheat, rice, oats, barley, or grain of any sort; pitch,
tar, turpentine, fruits, seeds, and tobacco), that has
not been entered at this port, will likewise be seiz-
able, and there is no doubt the utmost vigilance will
be employed in the enforcement of the act according
to the true spirit and meaning,
New YORK, JULY 9,—We have received Haven-
nab papers, one of which contains the following
intelligence
HAVANNAH, JUNE 19.—Captains MUM'S, of the
Spanish schooner Gallega, which arrived here this
morning in 25 days passage from Vera Cruz, reports
that Cul. Hevia had entered Cordova at the head of
3,000 infantry and 500 horse, and taken prisoners
the rebels Ramirez, Guerro, and Santa Ana. Col.
Cruz, with 3,000 men, had matched from Guada-
laaara in quest of [turbid, who was moving in the
direction of Bajio This vessel had an action with
two Insurgent privateers, under the Venezuelan
flag, which she succeededed in beating off."
A letter received in this city yesterday, from an
officer on board the Alligator, Capt. Stockton, dated
18th May, off Gallinas river, on the coast of Africa,
states, that on that day they bad succeeded with
their boats in capturing a large schooner, from Bal-
timore, engaged in the slave trade. The crew at-
tempted resistance, but were overpowered by the
lboarding party. Many vessels are said to be on the
coast, employed in this infernal traffic for human
flesh, acme of them of large size.
NEW LONDON (CONNECTICUT), JULY 4.—The
schooner Betsey, Briggs, arrived on Sunday last, in
11 (lays from Bermuda. We have received our usual
files of papers by this arrival. The disputes between
the Governor and Legislature were still carried on
is ith great animosity. The Governor appears deter-
mined to place all the authorities of the land at his
feet. In this policy he is determinedly opposed by
the legislature. A few days previous to the sailing
of the Sea Serpent, several transports arrived at
Bermuda from Halifax, with troops to relieve the
garrison of that place. On their arrival the Gover-
nor called the officers together, and in an address to
them, declared that the inhabitants of the island
were in a state of rebellion, and that he expected the
troops would stand by hint ! He had previously
disarmed the militia by calling in the government
arms. On one occasion he called the majority of the
legislature "a ficti .us, irreligious, and disappoints('
party." The house returned a spirited reply ; and

declined any further proceedings until they heard
from their petition for the removal of his Excellency.
The Governor rejoined—" Blinded by error, or
some more dreadful infatuation, you have finally, in
direct terms, refused to do your duty. You are pro-
ceeding at your own peril, and are collectively and
individually responsible to your God, your King,
and to your country, for the evils you may have en-
tailed upon the country." And here the business
rests between him and the house.

BALTIMORE, JULY 10.—By the brig Atlantic,
Captain Bailey, urrived here yesterday, in 40 days
from the Isle of 'AI ay, we learn that the Portuguese
constitution was adopted there on the sth of May.
A government brig sailed from thence on the 20th
for Lisbon, with the representatives to the Cortes.
