in South• America to our commerce, besides in-
demnifying our merchants for the losses sustained
by them from the pirates in the South Sea and
the West Indies.

Under the head of Foreign Intelligence, we
have inserted a moot important article from
Vienna. It relates to the conduct of Russia
with relation to Greece and Turkey, and exposes
'very clearly the artful and ambitious policy of the
Russian Cabinet.

Bayonne Papers arrived at a late hour this
morning, from which we extract the following
BAYONSk:, JAN. 14.—• Mercantile Expresses
are very numerous between Paris and Madrid.
A Courier passed through on the 12th, who left
Madrid on the Bth, with the answer of the
'Spanish Government to M. de VtLGELE'S Note, as
we are informed. Letters from Madrid paint in
glowing colours the enthusiasm► of the nation in
favour of the Constitutional System. The new
levies are made every where with the greatest
'regularity ; groups of young men cry out, ' Let
us march at once if the country has need of us!'

" The Army of the Faith in Navarre, corn-
rontled by J uanuito,Santo Ludron, and Guergnet,
continues to preserve its system of war, marching
backwards and forwards, flying before the Con-
stitutional troops, and laying waste the country.
It is, however, calculated that above MO men
have abandoned, within these three weeks, the
standards of the Faith.

" Some fugitives have just. arrived from Na.
varre, who say that the Pastor surprised and
attacked ou the 9th, at Estalla, the baud of
Juanuito, consisting of 1,200 men, who at first
made a good resistance, but soon afterwards dis-
persed, and teed precipitately and in the greatest
disorder into the mountaii►s Of Loboronda.

" We have at Bayonne General O'DONNELL
and his two sons, and Colonel Az.ncu ; we ex-
pect shortly General QUESADA, whOl.as the par.
lisans of the Faith affirm, has been completely
successful iu his mission to Paris.

SWEDEN.—We have this day inserted an ex-
tract of u letter communicated to us by a respect-
able Correspondents relating to the return of the
person who is styled the CROWN PRINCE. Con-
sidering the origin of this person, and that the
legitirriate Monarch of Sweden was driven from
his dominions for the firmness with which lie re-
jected all overtures from the late Usurper of
France, while alt the other Potentates of Europe
submitted to his tyranny, we cannot but feel pity
and contempt for the Swedish people. Have they
totally forgotten GUSTATUS ADOLPHUS, who
stands so high
,in the records of hist ry, to say
nothing of the enthusiasm with which they fol-
lowed the fortunes and supported the enterpriz-
ing temerity of CHARLES the Twelfth ? But they
might surely recollect, that in the campaign
which ended iu the fall of the French Usurper,
the reigning King of SWEDEN, WUS thought to irct
With a temporizing policy, as if he were doubtful

of the event, and thought it by no means impro.
bable that his forrner master would finally
triumph. It was even- rumoured at the time
that he was induced to bring up his forces
by a menace of complaint at head quarters.—
Yot-thp former Monarch is a wonderer over
the earth, for no reason but because he held
forth an example of regal dignity which
'none of. ,hi• :Royal Brethren had firmness
enough to' follow. And this perhaps may be
thought the reason why the Bolo( ALLIANCE,
while they were interfering in the concerns of
other countries, did not interpose in his behalf,
as his example would probably be considered as
a reproach to themselves.

{Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd', at Lisbon,
dated the 6th of January.]
44 Arrived the Conceicao, in 43 days, from
Bahia.; she brings accounts of an attack by the
forces under General MADEIRA on the troops
that -surrounded the city, which were completely
routed, and a quantity of cattle, &c. brought in.
The Don Joao Sexto and a frigate were to pro-
ceed immediately to blockade Rio Janeiro.—
The Incomparavel is arrived, in 36 days, from
Pernambuco ; all quiet there."

[From the American Papers.]
11.1vAxicut, Nov. 23, 1822.—We assure you
it will always afford us a great pleasure to be
able to furnish the City Gazette with information
worthy to find a place in it, particularly upon
subjects which, although our Journal treat, they
often discolour the truth through party feelings.
Nevertheless the several Papers published here
(forwarded by this opportunity) may give some
Idea of the state of our politics..L.A, denunciation
was lodged with the Governor, a few days ago,
of a conspiracy being formed by some natives to
proclaim the Independence of The island of Cuba!
But Colonel KINDERLAND treated it with con-

tempt, because it appeared to be without fount
dation. The rumour of:the conspiracy, however,
caused at first some alarm, but that has disap-
peared.
" Unikd Sick: Brig Spark, at sq., of the
island of Santa Cruz, Nov. 5.

" Since -I wrote .to you by the Alpha, we have been to St.
Thomas and St. Domingo twice, and have watered both times.
We have also been to Laguira, -to our cost, for when we
arrived there we had a first, second., and third Lieutenant ; a
Master, Purser, Surgeon,'Boatswain, and Gunner ; but now,
alas ! the wardroom mess consists of your humble servant and
two boys.

" Mr. Nicholson left us two days before we sailed from
Laguira, to'fake command of a vessel belonging to Sailing•
Master Hearty, but he was taken sick and died in one day.
Mr. Fanning, Purser, died on the 24th October on our passage
from St. Domingo and St. Thomas. Two days ago we sailed
from the latter place, having been there three days, during
which time several officers were taken violently ill, and were
sent on shore—what their fate is at this time I am unable to
say. There never was a healthier crew than ours has been,
never having more than two or three on the sick-list at a time ;
the sickness appeared to be confined to the ward-room and
steerage.

"We left the Cyane at Laguira, sickly. The day after we
sailed, she lost a surgeon's mate and four seamen. She expect-
ed to sail in a few days for Porto Cabello, but was waiting to
learn the result of the prevailing news, which was, that Morales
had landed a fewmiles from Laguira, burnt a small town, and
intended to go to Caraccas. The people of the,place, particu-
larly the Americans, were in the greatest consternation, for
fear of their property. Since that time we have had the report
contradicted, and it is probable she has sailed. Yesterday we
were in chase of a two-topsail schooner for 7 hours, but did not
come up with her. We looked in Christianstadt, in Santa
Cruz, this morning; the brig Orion, Crawford, for Norfolk,
MU there, and on our standing out she followed ; we shall see
her through Sail Rock Passage to-night. It is likely we shall
send into St. Thomas's in a day or two, to look after our sick.
" P.S.—We have just discoVered two sail, and are making
chase."

BRIGHTON, JAN. 20.-T K tNc.—Our gra-
cious SOVEREIGN, in the most promising state of
convalescence, it gives us heartfelt pleasure to
observe, continues to make the most satisfactory
advances to complete recovery. The answer to
inquiries at the Palace this morning was—" Ills
MAJEsrr again has had a good night, and is
much better this morning."—Thv answer in the
evening has been an improvement upon that of
the morning It appears to be the intention of
the Kora to open the two Houses of Parliament
in person ; and not a doubt, from present indica-
tions, is entertained of his MAJESTY'S health
being entirely re-established before that period.

THE DUKE OP YORK.--When his Royal High.
ness the Duke of YORK left. London on Sunday
se'nnight on a visit to the Earl of BRIDGWATER,
in Hertfordshire, he was then afflicted with a
slight cold, which, we regret to say, so increased
as to induce his Royal Highness to shorten his
absence from home, which it had been originally
intended should have continued till this day.—
The Royal Duke therefore returned to London
on Monday for the purpose of taking the advice
of his medical attendants. He has since been
attended by Sir HRNRY HAIFano, Mr. M'GRE.
Goa, and other Medical Gentlemen, who deemed
it adviseable that lie should not leave York
House, and in consequence notice has been given
that his koyal Highness
,was indisposed, and
would not be able to hold a Levee yesterday as
was expected. His indisposition did not prevent
him from attending to public business during
yesterday. His Royal Highness rose at his ac.
costumed early hour, and after the arrival of the
general post lettecs, was in close attendance for
nearly three hours upon military business with
Sir HgantAtT TAYLoa, his Military Secretary,
as Commander•in-Chief, and Mr. DIGHTON, the
Chief Clerk to the Commander-in-Chief. The
Earl of LIVERPOOL, who came to town yesterday,
and a number of others, sent to make inquiries
as to the state of his Royal Highness's health.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. HusTER, the King's
Messenger, left town with dispatches for Vienna.
On Monday Mr. K tyE, the King's Messenger,
arrived in Downing•street with dispatches from
Sir NV. A'Conwri our Minister at Madrid. Soon
after the messenger left Madrid he was stopped
and robbed by a gang of robbers.

CITY Basin Esi.—iiesterday a Court of Alder.
men was held at Guildhall, which was numerously
attended. The thanks of the Court were unani-
mously voted to the Lord Mayor's Chaplain for
the excellent sermon preached by him on Plough.
Monday. The sum of ,5,7001., part of the Or-
pitons' debt, was ordered to be paid off, and the
.Chamberlain was ordered to give the parties
interested notice thereof. The Court were then
occupied until a late
.hour on the'Petition of Mr.
Britton', against the return made by the Alder-
man of the Ward of Bassishaw, of Common,
Council for the said Ward ; and after hearing
counsel on both sides, and examining sundry wit-
nesses, adjudged the return to be correct, and
directed a precept to he, issued for it NVordniote
to be held for the election of one Common Cowl-
cif-man for that Ward, there being un equal
number of votes for those candidates at the last
election. A Court is appointed to be held on
Tuesday next, to hear appeals against Ward
officer'', and on other business.
On the 15th instant, 301., the annual gift of
Lord and Lady Scaunoitoutim, was distributed, by their
agents at Lumley-Castle, to 170 poor people of (heat and
Little Lumley, in beef, bread, meal., and potatoes.

of Caprington, gave twenty carts of coals to the poor of Ric-
carton.

The Lying-;n Charity, duriog the thirteen
years it has been established, has extended its benefits to up-
wards of one thousand women. •
Last week, Capt. VASIIOI4 BALLARD, R.N. of
Elm Grove, distributed a quantity of coals among the'poor
families of the destitute watermen- of Southampton—a very ac-
ceptable and benevolent gift.
The Corporation of Rontsey distributed on
the 13th instant a considerable quantity of flour to upwards
pof 1000 or persona belonging to the parish of &alley, infra.
