A Gentleman who bas arrived from Cnba,
says, that four slave ships are fitting out at the Ha-
vanna, under• Spanish colours.—A frigate had
brought to that port. 5,000,000 of dollars from
South America. The naval force at Havanna,
was weak.

The Prince of PAitmA, the ci-devant King of

The imperieuse, Ilan Capt.l)ti;cAN, sailed front
Genoa on the 31st May, for Palermo, with the
Caledonia, 110, Admiral Lord E' NtouTu, having
On board his Excellency 1,,1rd W. BENTINCK.—
Impericusc left Palento on the evening of the
13th June; on the morning of which day his Royal
Ilighness the Hereditary Prince of SICILY, accom-
panied by the Hereditary Princess and the Duchess
oflOßLE,‘Nts, visited the Caledonia; the ships, con-
sisting of (*ye sail of the line, tour frigates, and
four brigs, being moored in a line, dressed in co-
lours, and their yards manned, saluted their Royal
~:ifey.;p.464;eif and re-passed to, the

The Duke de SAN CAIILOS has written, in the
name of his Majesty, a Letter to the POPE'S Nun-
cio, •in Spain, whom the Cortes had requested to
clpart from the Peninsula, and whose benefices
in this kingdom had been sequestered, in which
he invites that Prelate to forget the past, and to
return and exercise his Imietiors in the capital of
his Catholic Majesty. The Noncio has lost no
time to yield to this request, and we expect him
immediately. The Alarqtds of SOBEEMONTE,, late
Viceroy of the Province of Rio de la 'Plata, ac-
cused of having failed in his military duties at the
time of the invasion rof that Province, in 1506 and
1807, has been solemnly acquitted, and promoted
to the rank of Field-Marshal. We are still un-
easy On account of the spirit which prevails in
Navarre.

We feel pleasure that in .this city no unpleasant
circumstances-hare occurred from the unsettled
state of commerce. The run on some of the pri-
vate Banks in Dublin had, for a day or two, caused
a partial alarm, but the %veil known stability of the
different IlanEs•whose Notes are in general circu-
lation here, has restored full confidence; and we.
think it right to state, that the Notes of three
Belfast Banks, and thoF,e of Messrs. Ball and Co.
Alexaw,:er and Co. Finlay and-Co. and Shaw and
Co. are taken at the Custom-house, and all the
other Public Offices in this city as usual.—(Derry
Juurnal.)

By letters from America, it appears that the ex-
pedition which (lid so much mischief in the Con-
necticut river, on the 9th of April, was planned
by dive Him. Captain CArEt., of La Hogue, who
intrusted the execution of it to Captain IticttAari
COOTE, of the Loup Cervier (now the Pea coek.)—
He had with him four boats and 136 men, with
which he ascended the Connecticut river some
miles, to a place called Petit Pogue, where he burnt
and destroyed 27 ships and vessels, amongst which
were five privateers, some letters of marque, and
some &Ist India ships. amounting, in the whole, to
5090 tons, and carrying 134 guns, together with
-their sails, cordage, stores, *inking sheds, and
tools; :with a loss on our part of only two men
killed and two wounded ; and there were no de-
sertions, phuidering, nor any kind of disgraceful
or disorderly actions whatever. 'The enemy col-
lected more than two thousand troops, with field
pieces, to intercept our gallant little band in the
boats on their return down the river ; but Capt.
COOTE eluded them by dropping down with the
tide after dark, for which he waited some hours,
and his retreat was as masterly as any part of the
achievement. " Thus ended," says the Connec-
ticut Gazette of the 12th April," an expedition,
achieved with the smallest possible loss to the
enemy, and greatest in magnitude of damage that
has occurred on the sea boardr.the United States
since the commencement of the war."
The American Government has ordered a fri-
gate,
to be propelled by steam, to he built at New
York •

Above 500 bankrupt petitions are set down for
hearing before the LORD CLIANCELLOR,iii the pre-
sent sittings.

m.—The season commenced at this con-
venient and neat Theatre on Saturday List, wit li the
admired Opera of The- Duenna. FAwcETT,.. front
Covent 'Garden Theatre,' appeared in Little Isaac.
He was well received, and performed the ' part
with great spirit. GATTIE was the Don Jerome.;
GIBBON has hem -added to the company, and 1:e
appeared in I*f-di:rand ; LEONARD,. smother atldi-•
11011 to the rompaux, Was the Carlos. The rest
of the characters were _sustained as last seaß.,h,
by TYNE, SMITH, and Mrs. URGER. Miss POOLE
acquitted herself respectably in Clara, The
Farce was 7'he Boarding House. The house had a
more numerous audience than usually attends the
beginning of the season. lt:may not be improper
to remind our readers, that the, licence extended
to this, Theatre is confined to representations of
the-English Opera.
HtiYM AR K ET.—A MultiPlicity of important
temporary matters have prevented our noticing
the opening of the Haymarket Theatre this sea-
son, tlitingli we have been able to attend it. The
Company Las been strengthed by the addition of
MATnEws and fERIIY, and the provincial recruits
seem to be veterans in the service. We had not
room, on Saturday last, to trotice the representu-
tion of the preceding evening, which was. The
First Part of Henry IV.-:-Hotspur was supported
by TERRY in a very respectable manner: 'His
physical - powers, however, di) not seem to be
thoroughly adequate to the part. He was, in-..
deed, somewhat too violent in the 'earlier- scenes,
and probably would hate sustained: the whole-
with-mote spirit if he had ceconoinized his strengths
at first: MATnEws, for the first time, appeared
in Falstaff. He seemed to act entirely-from his
own sense of the character, and,"therefore,, we,
had not more of the traditional trick than was

necessary to give effect to son►e of the more ludi-

crous• situations. Upon the whole, it was ahn
morons performance,- .and excited much laughter.
We have never seen EYRE so respectable as be
was in liirtg Henry.
