all the issues of Germany, watches over the Sound,

the coasts of Holland and France. In the centre
of this line rises the metropolis, between the south

NuEEMBERG, JULY 10.—A public journal says,
" In the mediation of the Great Powers between
Spain and ii.rttigal, inporiant explanations are
said to have been brought forward respecting the
nature of the Sacred Alliance, according to which
—lst. It is valid only between the Powers
who have expt esly concluded it with each
other ; but by no means as their allies are con-
cerned, with whom a special treaty is necessary.
2d. The contracting parties engage to protect each
Power, not only in the integrity of its whole ter-
ritory, but also-in all its constitutional rights, in
respect to its subjects. lo conformity with these
arrangements, and the negotiations between North
America and Spain, Russia, it is stated, has en-
gaged :o support the cause of Ferdinand VII. in
Spanish America with a squadron of 6 ships of the
line any; several smaller vessels, and with an army
of 15 or '20,000 men; for which Spain cedes to
Russia Old and New California, in America, and
the island of Minorca, and givef, it also very im-
portant commercial advantages. North America is
stated to have rogaged, in consideration of the ces-
sion of the two Flotillas by Spain, to forbid all assist-
ance to the insurgents in its territories. How far the
negociations have advanced cannot yet be posi-
tively ,aid, but it is certain that they are going
on. These negotiations, and the relations of
Ra,sia with the Voile :Hi Persia, greatly excite
the attention of the English Ministry. It is
thought in Eneatid that a fleet will soon be
equipped. A Russian squadron has sailed from
Revel and Cronstadt, and is expected shortly in
the North Sea.",

The•Dey of 'TRIPOLI has presented the PRINCE
'Pt EGENT with such remains of antiquity as are
moveable at liehyda, which is fatuous for being
the site of Carthage. The Weymouth store-ship,
31r. TutiPsit commanding, is now on her voyage
thither, for the purpose of receiving and carrying
to England those.aucient monuments, which are
represented as highly curious, and illustrative of
that once spendid capital.
A practice having prevailed with the masters of
vessels of purchasing fish on thl coast of France,
with which they supply the London market, to the
manifest injury of British fishermen, the Board of
CII3tOWS have signified their determination to take
legal steps against the importers, who arc liable
to a penalty of 1001. for every such offence, and
against the masters of the importing vessels, who
are also liable to a penalty of 301.
