The following is an extract of a letter from the

“-The master of a coasting vessel arrived here from
Cette reports, that on passing the roads of Toulon,
on the 22d instant, he observed two line-of-battle
ships, and three friates, at ar.chor there. It is re-
portedr that fifteen ships of war, of different rates,
are fitting out in that port, and that orders had as-
rived to arm the batteries on the coast, for the pro-
tection of their trade against cruisers. The fleet of
this state is preparing to fit out."

By a decree published at Lisbon, on March 12th,
the operation of the decree of the 14th of July,

Thellinasseial state of the county of Huntingdon
has enabled the magistrates to order the county

Accounts from Cape Coast state that the natives
are suffering from a misunderstanding with the
Ashante country, which has proved very detrimental
to their trade, and it is feared nothing but a military

of Cape Coast have Dome reliance in Sir Charles

the power. of the conqtteror, and $6 dead on the field
of battle. The same journal adds, that a battu.ion
of Casadores was particularly distinguished in this

upon the enemy, with cries of " Live the Consti-

returned to Amarante with the prisoners, he was

I.ANURUURN WARD.
& Wedowee was en Tuesday held in the church of St.
Dioais Backchorch, in Fenelturob-street, for the election elm
Aldetasan in the room of Sir John Stoner, deceased.
The LORD MAYOR arrived at about half-past two, and having
'taken the Chair, the ward beadle made proclamation, and the
precept for convening the wardmoto was read.
Mr. BORRADAII.I then proposed Sir Freels Desanges, ci-
lium and dyer, ss a naadidate for the secant elk. of Alder-

man.
Mr. Ett.torr seconded the proposition,
Mt. WITT, in ruing to propose another candidate fee the
*Mee of Alderman said much itooevenieuee had frequently
remelted from the non-reskiesesi of the Alderson@ within the
' Ward, tip whole of which would be obviated by Omelet-doe
of the Oedema whom he had thee the helmet to propose
and with whose Name he wadi cinschde.. He then recom-
mended Mr. John Keys, cilium, and stadeser:
On the chew of bmds the Lord Mayor declared the numbers
to be—For Mi. Key, 59—For Sir P. Desanges, 48, and that
the*elsolee bad therefore fallen or Mr. Key.
A poll (with is to continue two day.) was then demanded as
behalf of lir F. Desanges ; sad the Wiliam' of the eleciion
mincladed.
On Thireday morning the Lord Mayor proceeded to the
• veswy rem of St. Dionis Book Church, aadopeeed the poll
' : pea promo. His Lordship then stated, that ow Wednesday
itair
he had received a letter from 15 .r Francis Mileages, de-
any further contest, notwithstanding tell* hi was vh-
-2.1 ot! to :.esp the pett open far the Surd upon.
' ht die evening the poll dosed. In favour of Mr. KeyM.'

. Mr. Keye then stood forward to return thanks. He essayed
' Iris friends dial all bis exertions should be lisped to promote the
• interests of the Ward, and 'that any ewes. that might have
crept in during the period they wanted s beset; should he at-
t toked with vigour.
• 'lli inks being voted to the Lord Mayor, who complimented
the new Alderman, the Wardmote was dissolved.

Extract of a letter dated Rio de Janeiro, Jan. SO,
• 1843.—" Our squadron of four frigates returned
the other day from Monte Video, and sailed yesterp
day for Millie and Pernambuco, with suppliis.of
arms and about 600 volunteers from. the militia,
chiefly mulattoes, but tolerably good troeps.and well
• equipped: The command is intrusted to• an Ame-
rican, named...fewett, who commands. the largest
frigate. They are miserably off.for officers; neither
• Portugal or Brazil, has even one of note, and Brazil
' none she can trust. The first Lieutenant of the
Doris,. entered into their service the other day, and
as he was the first English officer they could engage,
they make much of him. He is made Captain—
they have given him a fine frigate of 38 guns, now
undergoing a thorough repair; but the paucity of
officers is•such, that Taylor is looking round among
the mates of merchantmen for his .future lieutenant !.
A 74 will betroady forsea- In sit weeks, as yet• an-
.
commissioned and no captain eligible. People sup-
pose, from the activity shown in getting their navy
firward without seeing here officers capable of tak-
ing the command, that they sum have some well-
foulided reason for expecting officers from foreign
countries. A code of regulations fur. the govern-
ment. of privateers, and letters of marque, has been
iteuett, but the system is bad, as they were rather
warmly told by the French Commodore, who ob-
served that they who had no navy should strive to,
form one, and not throw the prizes of war into the
hands of the only nation (the United Statist). who
would be the that ready to interfere in the quarrel.
I have not yet beard of any letter of marque being.

Lady Coehraneis making great preparations for
her departure fur South America. Her Ladyship
and suite, it is expected, will embark ut the course
