NEW YORK, MARCH 15.—A ship is ashore
at Long Island, said to be the Alexander, from
London. If [ get any further information I will
send it.

NEw Yonic, 10 o'clock at Night.--Since my
letter of this morning was put in the bag, I un-
derstand that the vessel ashore at Long Island,
which was supposed to be British, proves to be a
schooner from Havannah.

We have received Bayonne Papers of the 27th
ult. A Mail had arrived from Madrid ; but
it brought no later intelligence than of the
I 9th. The terms of capitulation of Mequinenza
to ,the Constitutionalists were said to have
been accepted ; as also that Capapse bad
surrendered to .Ballasteros, on condition of
receiving a pardon for himself and his followers.

The Army of MINA is represented as being en-
thusiastically devoted to him. The Pastor was
still at Iron, and was preparing fora determined
resistance.—These Papers represent the French
army as only half complete, destitute of the
means of conveyance, and utterly unfit to ad-
vance into Spain, which indeed it was thoughi

The affair with the vanguard of Gen. REGO,
and the Portuguese Insurgents under AMA lIANTE,
after that of the 13th instant, is confirmed. Both
sides sustained loss in the- action ; and REGO

quarters at Amarante. In a dispatch of REGO
of the 17th ult., he praises the excellent spirit of
his troops, but admits that Tras os Montes is al-
most entirely in a state of insurrection.

We understand that Private Letters are in
Town from Colombia, of a late date, bringing
favourable accounts in regard to the Colombian

ratified by the Colombian Government.

the KING at Brighton.
, The Russian army, ever since its return from
France, has been a subject of uneasiness to the
Government. Never was so instantaneous a
change produced in a body of men as that pro.
duced on the Russians by their stay in France.
Under such circumstances, it is singular that the
determination should have been taken to send
the army again to France: No doubt the Est-
PEHOIt thinks the triumph of the Monarchical
principle sufficient to counterbalance the evil
of the contagion. Besides, a great army must
be moved about ; it must be kept in employ-
inent.—(Morning Chronicle.)
Letters dated the 14th ult. were received yes-
terday from St. Petersburg-h. Much anxiety is
expressed in them for intelligence from England,
confirmatory or otherwise of the expected inva-
sion of Spain by France, but the thought of a
participation in the war by Russia does not at
present enter into the speculations of the Peters.

considerably, owing to the orders from Ham-
burgh, Holland, and London, for remittances of
money.

afternoon, at the Six Bells, near Hammersmith Church, before
THos. STIRLING, Esq. ironer, on view of the body of Wm.
Friberg, who lost his life in a pugilistic encounter on Monday

FURTHER PARTICUIARS OF THE EARTHQUAKE
AT VALPARAISO.

[ExtraCt of a Letter from a Gentleman residing at Valparaiso,

" Several other heavy shocks followed, but
not to be compared with the first : they con-
tinued very frequent during the *night of the 18th
November, and every one fled to the hills and
the shipping for safety. Many lives were lost
by the falling of the buildings, but the
number has not as yet been ascertained, and
nearly 300 are known to have perished ; many
are wounded, amongst whom is the Supreme Di-
rector. Nearly the whole population is scattered
about the hills in tents ; the English families, as
also our Consuls, have all embarked on board the
shipping.
