By the Holm cutter, which is just arrived in E.
land from St. Domingo, we learn that inform:.ti‘a
having reached Jeremie, about the zn:t!idle of Ma:cb,
that, PEFLuN's forces were in possessicn of l'crt de-
, Pais, an illumination imrnetliately tcoic place in 11. at
town and its vicinity upon the occasion. The Captain
of the Flory, however, states, that immediately before
his sailing, which was on the SOth of March, :he
cause of this rejoicing was discovered to be un
founded ; as Tort de Pais still continued in the rs.
session of General CuitisTOPIIE.

Dutch Journals of the 18th instant have been re.
ceived in town, containing intelligence from Spain of
great importance, namely, an Insurrection at Ma.
drid—an Attack upon MI:RAT—thO RESIGNATION of
FERDINAND The V I WI, and the RESTORATION of his
FATHER, KING CIIARLXS. These accounts rze copied
from the Moniteur of the 11th, dated at Bayonne on
the 6th, and are written from Madrid on the evening
of the '2d.
When the EMPEROR received the tidings of the
Insurrection, he went to King CHARLES, and met him
-coming from the Empress's, where he had dined, and
on telling bins the news, the KING said—,, I have
foreseen this evil—those who set the populace on,
think they can restrain them."
The KING instantly resolved to appoint the Grand
Duke of BERG Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom,
and at the same time sent Patents to the Councils of
Castile and War.
The KING afterwards called the PluNcE of As-
'PUMAS 10 him, and read the Grand Duke of BEnG's
letter. He observed to him, that he now saw the re-
sult of his criminal conduct in Battering the prejudice;
of the people, and forgetting the sacred respect be
he owed the throne, and the lawful authorities--Po-
pular commotion% were like fire, easily excited, but it
required another mind and another arm than his to ex-
tinguish them.
FERDINAND, after this, wrote a letter to the Infant
Don ArroNso at Madrid, in which he resigns his
crown, and recalls all powers which he had given to
persons to fill different offices, •

Mr. CANNING has written a letter to the Chairman
of the Portugal Club, assuring him (for the informa-
tion of the Merchants concerned in that trade), that
the Portuguese Minister had written to him, stating
that his best services would be employed with the
PRINCE REGENT, that the Portuguese Government
should cansid,r itself responsible to His BRITANNIC
MAJEST'S subjects, for any losses that may have taken
place in consequence of the acts of the Portuguese
Government previous to its emigration from Lisbon,
and particularly for these sustained under the Decree
of Bth November last.
Yesterday a Cabinet Council was held at the Fo-
reign Office, pursuant to summons. The Duke of
PORTLAND happened to arrive in town from Dulstrole
just as the summons was delivered ; so that his going
to the Council in his post-chaise and four, it was
at first supposed, that some Messenger had arrived
with dispatches from the Continent, The Noble
Premier and eight other Members assisted at th.:
Council, which sat for upwards of two hours. After
the Council broke up, the Swedish Ambassador had
an audience of Mr. Secretary CANNIG. His Grace
the Duke of Pon-rt./ND appears t.. be considerably re-
covered from his late indisposition.
We understand that it is the intention of Govern-
ment to reduce a considerable portion of the British
Cavalry, which are now useless as to Continental ser-
vice, and since the general establishment of Volunteer
Corps, arc almost so in England.
The 9th and 40th Regiments are expected at C.
terbury, front Ireland.
The ?ai battalion of the fitl} Regiment is on ►ts
march to Portsmouth, in order to embark for Guernsey.
Mr. O'CoNnza, who was said to have tied from an
official situation at Cork, with a large sum of Go-
vernment money in his possession, has been appre-
hended at Hie len sburgh, in Scotland. He passed by.
