Accounts have arrived from Madeira of the
middle of July. It was supposed that some
fresh regulations would be adopted, imposing a
duty on foreign flour, wheat, and other grain,
hitherto imported duty free. The three depu-
ties, who had been elected at Madeira under the
new constitution, had sailed for Lisbon, and carried
with them the remonstrances of the people
against the enormous duties imposed by the
United States on Madeira wines. It was sup-
posed that a countervailing'', duty would be laid
014 certain articles the produce of the United
States. Accounts had arrived at St. Michael's,
that the Governor of Terceira (who had been
under confinement for refusing to consent to the
new order of things) had been publicly murdered
in the streets, wit several others. The British
ship Royal George, with a Governor for New
South Wales, sailed from Madeira on the 10th of
June.

We have received Bermuda Papers to the 22d
July. It appears from one of them, that a new
source of commerce has arisen in the West India
islands of much importance, as regards their pri-
vation of intercourse with the United States,
under the operation of the Navigation Act.
Cargoes of corn have arrived from the coast of
Africa, which will amply repay the importer at
the low price of one quarter of a dollar the
bushel. It is described to be of a good quality,
and similar to the flat corn of the northern States
of America, but of a kernal smaller and whiter.
It is added, that a petition has been forwarded
to England by the West India planters and mer-
chants, praying that a direct trade may be al-
lowed, in British ships, to and from the Baltic.
The disagreement between. Governor- LUMLEY
and the inhabitants of Bermuda still exists to a
great extent.

chester; Governor of Jamaica, and Major-Gen. Sir J. Keane,

formed that two days previous to the departure of the Con-
fiance, a packet arrived at Port Royal from Curacoa, with
accounts of the successful operations of the Independents on
the Spanish Main; who had, in a desperate battle, fought on
the Plains of Caraboao, totally defeated the Royalist forces ;
the consequence of which had been, that the Royalists were
obliged to abandon Puerto Cabello and La Guira, and the in-
habitants were flying from Caraccas, in apprehension that the
Independents would soon make an attack on that place. The
Confiance left our squadron on the station, under Sir Chas. Roy-
ley, healthy ; the Nautilus, Capt. Isharn Chapman.; L
Capt. Blois ; Parthian, Capt. Lloyd ; and Tamar, Sir 1,
