Extract of a "Letter from Bourdeauk, dated
Nov.-24 :—" An, English vessel,, stated to be of
170 tons burtnen, and, laden 'with wine and
brandy, was taken on the 17th. inst. by an Ame.
rican ship of war, supposed to be a' privateet, near
the Isle of Rho. It i§ reported that four Ameri-
can privateers, named the Lion, City of Paris,
Scourge, and Wasp, are cruizing between this
harbour and Ushant. There arc about 14 Eng-
lish vessels at present at this port."
We lament to hear that the Severing transport
was lost in October 011 the Island of St. Paul, and
200 souls perished.

We noticed on Wednesday week that a letter
had reached us from the West Indies, stating,
that the French force sent out to take possession
of Martinique has(' not been permitted to land; in
consequence of the non-arrival of instructions .to
the• British Con►► Hander to give ul► his coma►and.
Letters from thence of the I►9th confirm this intel-
ligence, and state that the transports were still off
that port with the troops on board. It was know►►,
however, that 'a vessel was expected hourly with
nstructions to surrender the island. _ ht

The Malta and GibralUr packet has brough
letters from the latter place to the,l7th of . last
mouth. At the former hopes were entertained
that the representations of the new Government
-would be successful, -arid that the capital of -the
Island would be converted into a free port. At
Gibraltar there bad been only one death for eight
days, but there had been a few new cases •of a.
mild character. Applications had been made for
the early opening of the intercourse, to which the
Governor seemed to be disinclined, until by white-
washing and other expedients, all the buildings
bad been purified. It was not expected that busi-
ness would be resumed befoie Christina's,

Letters ir,,u) Cadiz to the I2tli, and from Ma-
drid to-the I'.oth ult. state that the British mer-
chants at Cadiz have absolutely refused to cootri-
bate to the forced loans, 'and in resisting this act
of Gor,•ernment, have placed themselves under the
protection of their Ambassador •' that the report
of the arrest of Don l'Emito DECEVALLOS . is not
only unfounded, but that he has been appointed
Prime Mini-ster, and that the Doke of SAN CARLOS
has been dismissed ; and that the Spanish Consid,
residing in London has refused to grant any more
certificates for admission of cottons into his coun-
try, either of British or Indian manufacture.--:-
Trade was in a state of almost total inactivity
throughout. the. northern provinces, from Continua
to St, Sctlastian.
From the Havanna!) a mercl6.nt vessel has ar-
rived,'which left that station on the 14th Octo-
ber.' The report was that the Revolutionists—had
prevailed in Mexico, but that the ports of the
Isthmus still continued under the Spanish autho-
rity. In the Island of Cuba the inhabitants were
ripe for revolt, in consequence of the abrog.atitm
of the Nnv Constitution in the Mother Country.
he Governor, APODACA, was indebted for his
influence alone to the estimAtiou iu whiCh he was

were but 400 strong, am! they were occasionally
assembled to 4.thiraohe tears of the dislifected.,
