The Presse, in an abusive article against England,

Vine CoMmittee of Puerto de Santa Maria had addressed
a-petition to the Cortes in favour of the introduction of
English cottons into Spain, on payment of a protecting

la Frontera had forwarded an appeal to the same

Britain. The Hon. W. Temple, the English Ambas-,

A private lettet from Munich,of the 11th inst., states,
:hat the utmost exertions were being made at Berlin,
Frankfort, Augsburg, and in fact throughout Germany,

Qompromised by that event. It was said that a company
at Gotha would lose 10,000,000 florins.

•”;pended her coals. One of the passengers, Captain
`,'ernon, of the 15th Hussars,- died for want of medical
,ssistance, which has damped the spirits of the whole
)arty. 1)r. Bloxham, of the Clive sloop of war, be-
one,ing •to the East India Company, has, since their
arrival, kindly attended them."
