M,''XITE OF THE JU.NTA.

"To rein ye up so i Faint a point as has bto
sent us by yuui from the SeDOICS,
Fiscals, the Junta ane desirous of being informed as
soon as possible, whether you have received any
certain orders for our acting legally in recognising
the Council of Regency. They also desire to be in-
formed whether there is any precedent in the ar-
chives of the real Audiencia or a sovereign authority
being acknowledged and sworn to merely in virtue
of a simple printed paper, %%ithOut other authority
or proof of its authenticity. The Junta wishes to
be correct, and that no delay may take place, they
wish an Extraordinary Meeting to be held, at which
the Fiscids may give their assistance.
" May God preserbe your 'Excellency many
years.

To the Real Autliencia.

Most Excellent • Senor,—lf the Tribunal bad
been in possession of any official orders for the
recognition of the Supreme Council of Regency,
they would have immediately communicated them
to your ll:xcellency without any concealment, pre-
serving, as they ought, that good faith of their in-
stitution which their Ministers ever have and ever
will possess ; • and it •the papers which were trats-
mitied to your E:tcellency front the Fiscals should
be deemed of insufficient authority, as well as the
Public Gazetce of the Regency, which arrived to-
wards the end of March, the notoriety cf the instal-
lation of the Supreme Council of Regency of Spain
and the Indies, and their recognition by the nation,
we thought that ) our Excellency's knowledge of the
extrAordinatry circumstances of the times, and a de-
Sire to consolidate the union ‘...ith those who have
acknowledged our august Sovereign Ferdinand VII.
would have induced you to take the oath of allegi-
ance to the Sorrecne Government, instead of doubt-
ing its existence,. and that upon less authentic in-
to, Million you would adopt measures which, though
not strictly according to the law's, are indispensably
equired by the necessity of the tunes.
The Tribunal has discharged its proper duty and
respinstbili:y us proposing it thus to your Excellency,
vv hose judgment in weighing all the circumstances
of the case, its importance and delicacy, will resolve
that Ilicti you will consider best :and convenient
for the service of his Majesty. May God preserve
3 our Excellency many years.

A heavy firing on the French coast was heard
yesterday at Dover, but the cause was not known.

Cadiz, Papers to the Sth ult. have reached town
since our last, containing a very utiexpeCted Pro-
clamation of the Regency, pllciog the Caraccas in
a state of blockade, and declaring all merchant ships
that may enter 'or sail front the ports of that Settle-
ment, liable to seizure and confiscation. We are
afraid that this measure will pi eve the source of con-
siderable embarrassment to the Government and the
commerce of this country, and we are at a loss to
discover the wisdom of the policy by which it has
been dictated. The Spanish Regency, which has
been frequently accused of want of vigour, has at
length displayed 'a vigour, or rather a rigour, which
is wholly misplaced, and calculated to do mi,chief
instead of good. We do not mean to dipole their
authority as the depositary, pro tempore, of the rights
and jurisdiction of the Crown or Spain, but in
their present situation, we think it would have been
a much wiser policy to have restrted to conciliation
titan to have adopted measures of harshness, and
Measures which at the same time they have not the
power of executing. We shall be happy, however,
to find that this decree of blockade produces any
satisfactory compromise bet wten toe Colonies which
have declared their independence, and the Gown,-
merit of the mother country; but if the latter mean
by this act, to insist upon the unconditional sub-
mission of the former, we are afraid it will produce
consequence; vary opposite to those which the Re-
gency appear to contemplate as the results of their
policy.

That the spirit which has atluated the Caraecas
is spreading in the Spanish Colonies, is tendered
evident by a variety of intelligence from thence, and
patticularly by Letters and Papers to the 13th of
June, which have been received from Buenos Ayres
where a new Journal has been established, to con,
fain the official aets of Government, and other intel_
ligence. It appears that the Junta had hesitated to
comply with the call of the Real Audiencia, to ac-
knowledge the Government in the Isle of Ledn, and
were evidently brat Cog objedicws to gain time for
prevailing on the other Provinces to join in a deck-
ration of independence.

We received Jamaica Papers this morning to the
22d ult. from which we have inserted all the intelli-
gence worth extraaing. They contain nothing of
particular importance.

American Papers reached town this morning,
from which we have extracted the following article
relative to the affair between the Moselle and the
Vixen :

" NEW-YORK, JULY 27...-THE VIXEN.-The
Inlelligencer of yesterday morning gives us the basis
upon which the late rumours were founded, re-
specting the rencounter between the Vixen and ths.
British brig Moselle. Lieutenant TRIPPE, who
commands the former, is not- excelled in gallantry
by any other officer in our or any other navy. We
mention this,. because -we believe that the fol-
lowing extra& from the Intelligencer, has the
strongest possible (colouring against his gallant spirit,
and respecting the defiance of the British Officer,
which he is pretended to have submitted to. The
writer is probably a Mr. POINDEXTER, the Delegate
from the Mississippi territory, a man published at
the seat of Government, a few weeks ago, as having
dishonourably eloped from -his debt, for subsistence
and amusement. at Washington, and for which he
was sued at Philadelphia, on his retreat.
Nobody was materially injured on board the
Vixen; and the Captain of the Moselle immediately
gave a handsome apology for his mistake. He had
the command of a vessel appointed to watch for the
French privateers, one of which he supposed the
Vixen to be, and so many of which have been lately
fitted out with impunity, have smuggled, plun-
.
dered, and otherwise abused our ports and citizens.
When seized, one has been restored by special or-
der °laic Executive, out of fear and complaisance
to the author of the Rarnbouitlet Decree.

" Capt. TRIPPE would nut, we may confidently
say, submit to be dishonoured. If he were present,
the Intelligencer would not dare to publish the un
founded and malicious comments it has. They are
a proof not of the passiveness of Lieut. TntPre, but
of the base malignity of the Editor and his patrons,
who thrive and profit by every invention and aggra-
vation, which may embroil the Citizens against

Britain, arid ektenuate the fuul misdeeds of Bi;01.4-

PA RTE.

" U we had room to-day, we should publish
,the
deceitful accompaniments with Willa this transac-
tiox is shrouded in the Intelligencer, though m e
,hould only add another superfluous proof of the
barefaced partiality and sinister practices of that ve-
nal vehicle.

" Let the public again beware of the design of its
misrepresentations. We have often pointed them
out before, and been alWays confirmed by the re-
sult.— (Fed Rep.)
" It is known to our readers, that Captain POR-
TER of the Navy had detained a French .privateer at
New Orleans, for violating the laws of the United
States. For this act of duty, his recal has been de-
manded by TURIIEAU, and the demand has been
complied with f
" A thousand statements from GALLATIN, such
as we this day present, could not du away such
evidence as this of the devotion of our Govern-
ment to France. It is clear, had the Leopard been
a French frigate, Captain BAattoN would never
have been disgraced for not defending the Chesa.
peake.

It is added, that troops had been suddenly order-
ed to Pittsburgh, and that Mr. Secretary SMITH was
to be supersed.d by C )10n,4

A Mail has arrived from the Mediterranean. It
has brought letters from various parts, but none had
been deii, ered when this Paper was put to Press.—
It had been 40 days on ins passage.

We concluded our obsenations on Saturday la.t
on the state of Sweden, with an intmation that it was
probable that matters had been so well prepared re-
speeting tzttNADoTTE, as to preclude the people
from having any choice in the eleaion of their fu-
ture Monarch, and the contents of the Gottenburgh
Mail which arrived on Saturday evening', and which
we present to our Readers this day, will shew
that our apprehensions were too well founded.—
We end' that the present King of Swen Err, and
who must, indeed, be considered as no better than
an Usurper, is a despicable tool of 'BUoNAPARTE,
having himself proposed Bititt4AVOTTE as his succes-
sor to the throne.—There can now' be little doubt
that the last Crown Prince fell a viElitn to the cruel
policy of France, in order to make way for the.
million of the French Usurper. The Swedish
King's Speech to the Diet, on this occasion, will be
an eternal record of his infamy. Totally regard-
less of the august family from which be descended,
he hai meanly assisted in raising a man to the
throne, of the most it fanous charaaer, and who
will probably remove him with as little-ceremony 'as
he did the late Crown Prince. The Diet who as-
sented to ti►is degradation of their country, will, of
Course be foreVer branded with the infamy which=
this flagitious transadion will bring upon their usurp=
ing Monarch.

Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, Princesses Au,

Saturday morning the Penelope frigate, Captain
Dicx, arrived at Portsmouth from the Halila): sta-
tion, in 2,7 days. She does nut bring any important
news. Sir JOHN WARREN expeds shortly to be re-
lieved. The garrison under Sir GE.OIiGE PREVOST
was very healthy. Major General HoDG•iuN, Go-
vernor of Bermuda, and Suite, came home in the
Penelope. The following ships were lying at'Erali-
fax when the Penelope sailed :-.—Guerriere,
pus (and her valuable prize from the rsle of
France), Cleopatra, bolus, Hal fur, Emulous,
Little Belt, Surinam, Le Bernais (lately commi,i-
sioned), Bream, and Shamrock. The Shawr,ck
had just captured a very valuable ship, tram the
Cape of Good Hope; bound to Rouen, laden with
saltpetre. The Driver and Atalanta sliled on a
cruize on the 3d ult. The Diligente store-ship,
which sailed from Halifax with the Penelope, put
into Plymouth.
A nephew of Marshal NEY arrived in the
Tonnant, from Cidiz, a prisoner or. w.a. The
Mercury did not bring any deserters hum the French
army.

The French Commandant before Cidiz, until
lately, allowed water to be drawn from Putt St.
Mary for the use of the French priSoners on board
the Spanish prison ships ; but with a view
di,-
tress the city, by increasing its consumption of that
necessary article, he has peremptorily iorbi,fden the
supply ; and the prisoners, whp are still non;erons,
' are in consequence much inconvenienced.

Letters from Tenetitle communicate that 2000
French prisoners had been landed at Port Oratava
from Cadiz, within the last six ‘Aeeks. So exas-
perated are the Spaniards at Teneritie agani,t the
common enemy, that they committ all Frenchmen
to close confinement.

The Queen Charlotte hired cutler, !J pll

DE BOUILLON, to the squadron, off Cherbonrgh,

more than an hour, the Frenclunan was beaten off.
