mean time to be printed,

The French Papers continue to speak of the existence of
disturbances in Spain. It is said that armed bands arc tra-
versing the province of Leon, and committing great excesses.
It is added, that Government has called upon the !oval

Wants to associate and disperse ti►em. In the mean time
the French are treated with great riggsur in that country ; a
proclam►►ation of the celebrated Palafox n►ders them to quit
his government of Arragon, under pain of immediate im-
prisonment. The reason assigned for this severity is the un-
certai,,ty of the political relations subsi.htii►g between France

and Spain.
The Duke of Welling,tnn bad his first public audience of
the French King on Wednesday serinight, as Ambassdor
rxtraordinary from this country. His Grace was received
wish g' cat state arid ceremony on the occasion : he after-

follows :

'• "1 tut killa and all the Royal Family see, with the gryntest pleasure

A Mail from Jamaica arrived yesterday, with Jamaica
Papers to the I gth July. They do nut contain any intelli-
gence of much consequence
" INGSTON, JULY 16.—8 y the Annette we learn, that great
commotion!. had prevailed in Catthacena, and flint there were
three distinct parties, ‘;z. the Royali•:s, the Indpendents, awl a
third, xlit) had eet4; avoor«I to bring about a counter-revolution
in eon,equet.ce of which all British subjects were di-posed to em-
bark for this island with their property.
So disagreeable was the news of the late important events in
Europe to the Co vermin lit of Carthagena, and 140 apprehensive
were t!.ey of its opening the e% es of even their adheients, that,
when spoken of publicly, the persons so offending ran the risk of
being apprehended and imprisoned.
" The G9Vei ntnent of Carthagena had demanded of the mer-
chants of that place a large loan, with threats that, should they not
comply within a given time, the same would be taken by fin cc.
' When La Felice sailed from Carthagera, eyed), thirg was
(pi;et, but notwith.tanding great apprehenstrws elite; tanied or
e..nin.otion: in that town. Flom the motley form of Go‘ermnent
it was not known how long British subjeets would he respreted,
and every one at that place seemed de:trims to :!et away as fast
he could, with ‘thatever valuables he posses-cd."

The Gazette of last night contains an order for the raising
of the blockade of Norway.

We have heard from good audio' ttv, that the houses of
the Officers of the French army in the city of Roue'', were
illuminated on Buonaparte's Birth-day, and they held a pub-
lic dinner, as a mrde of celebrating the event.
A Ministerial Paper says----“ A mistindet standing. has Lie-
f.: tunately occurred in a distinguished regiment of Hussars,
the fon,dation of which was laid in Spain. The whole of
the Office's, with the exception of the names of two, have
signed. it is said, a Round Robin against the expected promo-
tion of their superior Officer in rank, which wilt, in all puriba-
bilit V. lead to a speedy investigation before a Mili!ary Court
of Inquiry."
The Jamaica fleet has arrived in the Channel, after a pas-
sav• of ,ixty days. They passed Va:inouth, Ito in coin-
pally, on ..lond.tv last, under convoy of the (..,onquestador,
late commanded by Lord V Stuart, who, we are sorry to
say, (lied on the passage of a fever. We are sorry to have to
add, that the Captain of Marines, four midshipmen, and 24
seamen, also died of the same fever, on :he passage, between
the .27th of June and the 1601 of July !

The Dublin Evening Post of the 31st ult says, " That an
express passed through Dublin yesterday, on its way from
Ghent td America, announcing the absolute and unqualified
rupture of the Negociation between the Ministers of the
United States of America and the Plenipotentiaries of the
Prince Regent of England."
Accounts from Bremen state that the disbanding of the
hessian troops had been countermanded, and that the whole
army had been ordered to be placed in marching order The
Russian army remaining near Hamburgh continued to be re.
inforced. Thee measures are attributed to the precarious
state of Germany. An article from Brussels states, " the
Duke of Wellington has overlooked nothing that can help to
give our country a strong barrier on side of France;
this line will tie extended according to the extent of territory
to be unitcd with Belgium ; mean time, a large army will be
maintained in our province; besides the numerous garrisons,
there arc to be two camps, one between Tournay and Cour-
tray, and a second near Guievraine, a place between Ber-
gen and-Valenciennes, almost the extremity of our &majors
on that Fide."

An arrangement between Great Britain and Holland has
been signed on the part of the former by the Prince IZegent.
and was sent off on Monday last to Brussels, to receive the
signature of the Prince Sovereign of the Netherlands. The
Cape of Good Hope, Demarara, Essequibo, and Berhi
are to he retained by this country. Batavia, and all ihe
rest of the islands and places, as Surinam, Curacoa, and St.
Eustatia, conquered from the Dutch during the war, are
agreed to be restored by the treaty. Ceylon of course re-
mains with us, as it was ceded to Great Britain before the
war. The value of Curacoa and St. Eustatia is said to be
much diminished by the openness of the trade to the Spanish
main, for which they formerly served as the great depots fur
European contraband goods.
A droll circumstance occurred this week at the Custom
House, Portsmouth. Some of those numeious French pro-
sellers, which daily arrive, brought over some loaves
of bread, which they pretended were for sale, and which they
had with them at the Custom House. One of the persons
employed there, in passing by some of the French people.
jocosely struck a loaf with his stick, when it divided, and
out flew a pair of si/k stockings ! Of course this was the
signal for searching the remainder of the loaves, which were
40 in number, and prolific enough to produce no less than
36 pair of silk stockings. The% were all seized, and the ern.?
harrassinent of the bread sellers may he better conceived the
described. Not long since among their dead stock, a tut key
was found stuffed with fine lace. These are only two in-
stances among the number of ingenious ones which those peo-
ple resort to, in order to conceal their contraband goods.
