Intelligence reached town on Wednesday 'Madrid, that
Pon Pedro Cevallos hag been arrested by order of the Go-
vernment, and that it wag intended to put him in close con-
finement.. At the intercession of powerful friends, however,
be was set at liberty ; but, at the same time, banished from
the Spanish Court. Don Pedro Cevallos is well known to
Europe for. his admirable exposition of the perfidious oc-
currences at Bayonne, in the year IRO% when Buonaparte
forced the king to sign his abdication of the throne of Spain,
and sent him off to the interior of France.

A Frankfort paper, under the head of Vienna, contains the
following article: " The Min'ster of \V urtemburg, who had
given the precedence to the Minister of the new King of
llnnover, bas been replaced by Count Winzingerode, who,
in the following sitting, took the upper hand of the nano-
vorian Minister Warm altercations ensued, and Count
Winzingerode refusing to give way, the sittings were broken
up." We conclude, thercfoi e, that the House of Wurtem-
berg is that which the Prince Regent alludes to in his procla-
mation to the Ilanoverians as inferior in .rank to his.

patavia papers, including the Java Ga:ettes, to the 15th
of July, containing official details of the expedition under
General Nightingale against Nh.c Issar. It appears, that the
object of the expedition has been attained, the Rajah of Boni
having been dispossessed of the throne of which cruelty and
treachery rendered him unworthy. This exploit has been
performed almost without any loss on our part. General
Nightingale's disratch from Head Quarters, Fort Rotterdatn,
June 3, 'l6l'l', states, that having arrived at Boni on the 6th,
he demanded reparation from the Rajah, together with the
Sondon (or Regalia) of Goa, for the insults committed
against the British Government, which being refused, the
attack commenced the next day, and in one bout the whole
town and residence of the Rjah were in the possession of the
B.itish forces. The British General had not to regret the
loss of a single officer belonging to the troops. Mr. White,
second officer of the Fleetwood, was the only officer wound
ed. The force engaged consisted of the wth and. 7Sth re 7
giments, the Bengal volunteers, and Amboynese corps.
