themselves being considered sufficient to deter them. This new

to throw off the yoke of the mother country, but *intending

On Fziday last the Nome, Lundy Williams,
bound from Cestlemain to Liverpcd, end freighted
with. corn, left the harbour of Dirgic to proceed 01
her voynge. The day was unusually fine, however,
she had nut cot any considerable distance outside tile
harbour, when in the view of a considerable num-
ber of spectators, she was moil to go down suddenly
head forerno7t, without even allowing time for hoist-
ing nut the boat. The melancholy cons2quence ne:s,
that the entire crew, consisting of eleven hands,

Yesterday we received Brussels Papers to the I I th
instant. The prominent part of their contents relate
to the affairs of Sweden. A rrangemenis are alluded
t as having been proposed, but they are stated to
have been peremptorily rejected. The King of
Sweden frequently assembles the Council of State ;
and it is obser red the 'Minister of Russia is invited
lessirequently than formerly to the parties of the
I.linister for Foreign Affairs. This coolness has,
together with other circumstances, given rise to t.
variety of sweetish and conjeetures. Some suppose

that there is a serious

preparatory to a negociation to induce Charles John
to quit the throne of Sweden. An overture to this
effect, it is said, has been made to him, but we can-
not give credit to the report, or that such a measure
could ever be in the contemplation of the Holy Al-
liance. Ile has been called to the throne by the
voice of the people. aed there he ought to remain
undisturbed, without the interference of any foreign
Power whatever. The measures taking for the de-
fence of the kingdom are proceeding with activity—
there is a plan for erecting an immense fortress in
the very heart of Sweden. All this seems to indi-
cate, that the Government has some fears for the
future. On the other hand, the family of the de-
throned King are said to be soliciting the protection
of a great Power tor the young Prince Gustavus.—
These Papers say, on the authority of a letter from
Nlanheim, that andt, the murderer of Kotzebue, is
dead.

The French papers to the 10th have just been
received. The following are extracts:—

PARIS, MAY D.—Yesterday before mass this King '
gave a yrivato anclieure to the Sicilian Ambassador, who
presented a letter from his Sovereign, notifying the mar-
riage concluded between the Infant of Spain, Dun Francis
Paul, and the Princess LAIIiSA Charlotte of the Two Sici•
lies. His Majesty afterwards received the Ambassadors,
Grand Dignitaries, Ministers, Marshals, Am The King
also received a Deputation film the Chamber Depu-
ties, who delivered the projet respecting the transit
through Alsace.
The works are conthined at St. Cloud, and it is still
said, that his Majesty will reside there during a part of
the summer.

A Russian Cottrler, who has passed through this city on
his way to Italy, is the bearer, it is said, of orders to
Count Capo d'lsWa, to return imnied.ately to Petri sls limb;
but some say, that he is previously to go to Paris on a 'nig-

Prince Leopold is expected in England soon after

It is reported that the Earl of Fife is to have the
green riband vacant by the death of the Duke of
Buceleugh.
It is generally believed that Mr. Vansittart, after
bringing forward the Budget, and providing for the
Ways and Means of the year, will resign the situa-
tion of Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is not
understood, however, that he is to be succeeded by
Mr. Peel.
A letter from Washington, giving an outline of
the Treaty lately concluded with Spain. says—
" The 24th January, 1819, is selected for regulat-
ing the validity of grants by Spanish authority; all
before that day are declared valid by the Treaty,
all subsequent to that duy are void."
Letters have reached us from Trinidad, dated the
2d of April. They announce the arrival in the
Gulph nt Paria, of the Francis and other transports,
with the remainder of the British volunteers under
Colonel English. They were instantly to proceed
to Maigaretta, •to join the Expedition preparing
there against the Main. The opportunity, it is
said, was never more favourable for putting a ter-
mination to the contest. The main body of the
Spanish troops, under General Martin is at least
500 mils from the sea coast, entangled in the ‘vorsls
of Aranea, and rut off from all irs principal commu-
nications by the Independent forces.

St. Jamei's church, by the very Rev. the Dean of
Canterbury, the Hon. Mr. Neville, eldest son of
Lord RI avbrooke, to Lady Mary, second daughter
of the Marquis Cornwallis. The happy pair, after
the cerem ny, proceeded to Saffron Walden the scat

On Thursday, Maely Woolf, Lewis Levy, and
John Kinnear, convicted of conspiracy to defraud
certain merchants and tradesmen, were brought into
the Court of King's Bench, and received the fol-
lowing sentences:—Woolf to be imprisoned in the
county gaol of Middlesex for two years, and to pay
a fine of 10,0001.; Lewis Levy to be imprisoned

The person who arrived at the Admiralty from
Liverpool with the new invented cannon and car-

Lied month the Commissary of the Receiver for
the Arroadissement of Gien was assassinated. He
had to pay to the Receiver General of the Depart-
ment of the Loire a sum of 24,000 francs. The
Gend'armes,. who were to have escorted him arrived
in the morniag before the house, found the door
open, the house deserted, and the chest broken open
and robbed. At first the Commissary himself was
suspecied of being the thief; but search being made,
his deitil body was found on the banks of the Loire,
tied Inlet and foot, with a rag in the mouth, and
the skull fractured. Suspicion hits fallen on Lia
domestic, who has disappeared.
The Gazette de France says, the English Govern-
ment t'as called for the sole heir of the immense for-
tune held by Courtois, the old French Barber, who
died lately in London. The fnrruna'e heir is called
Tretin, and has hitherto lived painfully in Nugent-
sur-Seine, on the pittance arising from a small em-
ployment id' the Consolidated Taxes. He has set off
to take possession of his great property.
Papers down to the Ist of the present month have
arrived from Switzerland and the interior of Ger-
many. It appears that a formal overture has been
made by an agent of the King of Portugal to the
Swisa Government, for taking into his Majesty's ser-
vice, in the Brazils, a body of Swiss, on the basis of
the Capitulation between that Government and the
King of the Netherlands. The differences between
the l.ourts of Berlin and Hesse Cassel are said to be
nearly adjusted, and important diplomatic corn-
munications are spoken of as having been made at
Cassel.
It is surprising that the Vice Society, instead of
declaring war against the retailers of a pint of porter
or a mutton chop to a hungry customer, on the
Lord's day, do not exert themselves to put down
realtz;ng, which all must agree is inconsistent with
the decency and decorum of the English character.
Letters and papers from Cadiz to the 21st, and
from Madrid to the 27th ult., have'reached town.
The contents of the former are interesting. It seems
that the Spanish Government had made great exer-
tions to forward the departure of the expedition, and
in consequence of instructions from Madrid, a con-
siderable number of troops had been put on board
several of the ships of the line, and it was expected
nt Cadis that these would have sailed for South
America before the smaller vessels. An order had,
however, unexpectedly reached Cadis, directing that
the soldiers who had been embarked should be dis-
embarked. This circumstance has excited considera-
ble sensation, and numerous were the conjectures as
to the cause of this sudden alteration of the deter-
mination of the Government. It was affirmed that
the troops and vessels of war were detained in con-
sequen‘e of the arrival of the despatches by the Sa-
bina frigate.
Letters from Manheim of the 2d instant state,
that a Committee was sitting to inquire into the late
conduct of the Students at Heidelberg.
