The Spmnisli Governor at the IlaVannith, under
date of Sept.2B, informs the Ambassador
at iladelp',la, that he has been made fully ac•
(painted with the manifestations of coarition
and repentance of Gen. Toledo, for his disloyal
comtnct to the Kingo sod entreating his Majesty's
pidott ; lon diet, from circumstances which had
sulhetpiently occurred, he had entertained doubts
of his sineet lay. in this state of perplexity the
Governor sent for the General's father, and de-
livered to bins two letters front the Spanish Am-
bassadne. The Governor then owes, that the
letters lie answered, and handed them to nius
open, with a bill of exchange, endorsed seer It)
Otis, the value of 2000 dollars, the payment
of
,which was to be conditional, and made to de.
rend Ott the compliance of Toledo %lib his pro-
miles of services and reformation; and in default
thereof, the Governor requited information, to
the end that lie might render an account to his
Moirsty of his conduct, and to take Measures
wbiclt should appear to him to be propel' and ex-
pedieut for his Majesty's service:
The letter which appears from the elder Toledo
to his son is expressive of the greatest
.joy and
adection for the comfort and happiness he
4iforded him, by returning to his allegiance, and
in converting his vet y errors to the services of
his Miajesty. As a proof of the new feeling which
the change of conduct in young 'foledo had ex-
cited in the breast of the father, the letter states,
that he has submitted to the most painful sacri-
fices, in remitting bins the money he had asked
for, sic his means were barely sufficient to support
a wimerous family. The father concludes by as•
swing his son, that should lie act as. he was now
eNpected to do, they would bless his existence,
and pray to Gud to shower upon him his choicest
bin ohiogs,

&Ali for the pacification of Mexico. 't bib aii(l
otlu r facts are cogent evidences of 'Toledo's de-
fee(4)ll, which some still doubt to the last.

It is ►►ut ezplait►etl in what manner these letters
were intercepted, but it I. allirnted that neither

may perhaps effectuate the total expultidn of the
insurgents and pirates from this crwt.
" I propose then, With all tine dife'rqnce 'for
your. superior talents and discernthent, that in vir-
tue of the full. powers vested in you by his Ma-
jesty, you %%timid declare and proclaiin itt a state
of riotous bioekli* all the ports and harhours of

pirates, prohibiting all trade or cbiumunication
with them by land or by sea, 'Mid all foreign Yes-
gelS from approaching them, whether merchant-
men or ships of war, no nnttfel* to what power
or nation they may belong—that you should for-
ward to the Minister Plenipoten'tiaty in Philadel-
phia h copy of such proclamation, to be aurnu-
nicurid officially to the American Government,
and send 'the saint to all the Ctontils in the Union,
to be pithlished in the newspapees. of their re-
spective rfiatricts, that ignot /lace of its exigence
might not be alleged is an ekcitie for the flota-
tion of it.

" This measure would enable Ot' to ptit ft stop
to the trade which is carried on by the Anglo.
Americans with the insurgents on the coast, sup.
plying them with arms ngainit. us ; for there can
be no doubt that the publicatiOn of a right Yectig.

'respect public opinispi, and' would probably With-
draw the protection now given by its 'Yes'telts of

the blockade be supported by the respectithic
forces which your Excellency hat wisely united
in this•quarter, and which would have, /the right,
and the power to bring into this port every vessel

with which your Excellency supported take
the liberty of offering you mine.
" Secretary says, that " The prods-
illation of General Morillo is in direct. opposition
to the laws of nations, for leveret rea?uns, and
especially for the following :—Pecause he declares
in a state, of blockade aeons! of Imodreds of miles
in exit rat ; and because he authorizes the captive
and condemnation of neutral vessels at an hide-
terminate distance from the coast."
" Surely hi, Excellency has not remarked that
the two meridians of the mouth of Niegthilella and
Cape Tilmrou, and the two parallels of the same
points ia.u.m a square,' and though it is enclosed by
imag.Aary lines, they are nevertheless hoou II and

their tribunals, wilco controtersies oo the subject

an unpleasant difference on a subject so clear.

must 'add, that no vessel should be captured for

" This is in contradiction to the practice of all

tion has preceded the blockade, au ! utterly Inap-
plicable to the King's possessions in America.
" Thu reasoning which your Excellency; did me
.the honour to attribute to me, in justification of
the blockade of the said coast and ports, is very
just, and evinces your' Excellency's penetration,
in establishing as my position, that every Sovc.
reign may sieclare war against another, blockade
his ports, and that after the pnblication of it, be
has a right to commit hostilities against any, un.;
der whatever' flag they be, that ay attempt to
infringe it. 2d. That every Sover may attempt to
infringe it. 2d. That ever SQvereig may block-
ade the: ports and coasts of his rebel Subjects when-
ever he pleases ; and I may say furthermore, that
it is a declaratioo of enmity 'on the part of other
nations when they Interfere to pralike the mea-
sure. 3(1. That the King of Spaio and the loath,
has established a blockade of' all his ports in the
tidies, recognized by all nations, gilarallt red by
several, and obligatory on alt, in virtue of which,
it was, not indispensably necessat y to d'velare the
blockade of Carthagena and that codst,,,,bot
to enforce anobservanee of the Coarda Costa
Ordinance's. However, in order to avoid tin-
pleasant
,discussion, and to lay down fixed'
roles for the government of navigators, I
would not avail myielf of that right, bay.

having notified the declaratinn of that blockade,
although it is true those places did not belong to
the king's dominions ill the Indies.
" Not wit hstandit g, .as my object has been solely
to appease the trommlnc, in these countriesoo ovoid
the ciruslun of blood, anti to frustrate the schemes
of those individuals who speculate on the mis-

a neighbour of the deceased's tither, wi.O is a
traveller, and lives a feW doors from w itness's'
house. Oa Thursday, the 26th of December last,
he met him at thehaek of his home,- talking to
his landlord ; they walked a little way, when the
last mentioned person left them ; the hthev- of
the tleerasvil titers informed witness his son had
robbed. hint of some money. They returned to
the back of the house, and tound 'the deceased
here, when his father calkd hint a rasca4 and a
villain, and reproached hint for hilt improper COD-
duet. Witness said, Well, Sir, this is a pretty
thing yon hate been doing,
.robbing your father,

he'paid nor a•tention, but walked away, and went
Into the house. Winless anti the deCeased's

house, and had a pint of porter, but had nut been

Doyle's sons came running, in, and said Master
Doyle's ear was bleeiling.very melt ;. they, went.
to the honie inuuediately,• and ,t6.their astonish-
ment found .the deceased lying on the floor in'a
state of insensibility, and weltering in I,k bloosk
po,:ket pistol ;svas lying by his side, which bad'
been ilisebargeti hr his ear. A brace of pistols
were always lying loaded on the mantle-piece,
when Mr. Doyle: Was its town. Very few perSoiss
heard the report of the p;stol. Some blacksmiths
were at tie door for Christmas,liq%es', as Mr.
Doyle kept a 'intake, with whose assistance they
pat the deceased gently into a chair, and then to
bed, The only words by ottertA all the titne-were,
" Pray do' not• hint me." A medical Gentleman
as' sent for, who blvd him, anti ordered him to

ceased was a very bad boy, and behaved its a very
(140beThent maitour to his parents, who Were very
indulgent to him.

111 r. Doylc, rather of the deceased, Said, his de-
cease l sou been apprenticed to a 111t1SiC string-,
In..lkee, in which. bosiness' there is a great deal of
brimstooe used; this had so materially injured his
that he was obliged to put him tinder the
'bands of a medical man, and he recovered ; he was
persuaded not to, send him to the 'above business
any more, but to bt ing hint up its a butcher, and
he was to have left him hr iiitort time. On
Cloris,tmas.tiaylast witness's wife dined (It'd friend's
house in the tummy, (where the was, to have
staid some time) and witness dined at a friend's,
;caving only the deceased a.l the servant to mind
the house.
The next morning, on going to his
drawer,' he missed a 'considerable qiiantit y 01 silver,
and in the presence of the last witness, charged the
deceased with the robbery, which was confessed ;
be reproached him with his shameful behaviour,
and threatened to send hint to sea ; • he paid no at.
tention to him, but walked away. He was of a
very morose disposition, and whenever witness or.
Ilia wife asked hull anytituestions, he would gristlier
sharply, or not at all.
Mr. Thomas Taylor, a dresser of the hospital,
said, the deceased was received into the Hospital
on Friday evening last; the ball was close to the
right ear, and the pistol must have been pat to
that ear, as the flesh was moil lacerated. Be Was

genii who examined hint could feel the fractured
bone, but not the bull ; the temple bone had been
forced downward toward the angle of the muscle
near the neck. He was sometimes sensible and
sometimes delirious, but never informed witness
what his reason was for committing the desperate
act. lie died on Triesday,evening, and attar his
death the head :was opened ; the brain WAS disco.

A female belonging to the Hospital stated, that
during the deceased's confinement he • had been
