We have received an interesting Letter from
Paris, but it came too late for insertion this day,
and shall appear to-morrow.

New York Papers, one day later, arrived this

morning.

(From 7'he New Y.rk Evening Post of the 14th ult.)

PENSACOLA.-The New Orleans Gazette of the
13th ult. states, on the authority of an intelligent
Gentleman from Pensacola, that no ordets bad been
received there for the unconditional surrender of
that place to the Spaniards ; but that, on the con-
trary, etrong reinforcements of troops were daily
expected from the adjacent States.
Havannah Papers to the Ist Ult. have been re-
ceived in New York. They state that Mr. Ro-
st:4s°N, who.has long been imprisoned by the
Spanish Government, is very ill in the horrid
dungeon of the Moro, and there was but little
hopes of his recovery.—(lbid.)
The New York Paper of the 16th contains a
long list of Ships of the Line and Frigates, now
in active preparation ; the greater number will, it
is stated, be ready for sea in the spring. The
following are the particulars

At Washington, 1 Line of Battle Ship nearly finished; a
Frigate in frame.
At Norfolk, 1 Line of Battle Ship building; in frame, 1
Line of Battle Ship and 2 Frigates.
At Philadelphia, t Line of Battle Ship ; in frame, 1 Line
of Battle Ship, 1 Frigate.
At New York, 1 Line of Battle Ship; in frame, 2 Frigates.
At Boston, 1 Line of Battle Ship. '
At Portsmouth, 1 Line of Battle Ship.

The Morning Paper, in which most of the late
reports of Ministerial changes have originated,
still perseveres, in spite of our authentic contra-
diction, to renew the same reports, but we again
affirm, as we have repeatedly ►asserted before, that
no change has taken piace except the resignation
of the Ordnance by the Earl of MuLonAve, who
is to be succeeded by the Duke of WELLtNoTort.

,
But thEre is reason to hope that the f3Le‘ts of
Lord Mutcaavit will be employed in some °Jet
situation, as he is one of those sound Statestrlel
of the true PITT SCHOOL, to whom this COI
and all Europe are indebted for the °vertigo°. (),
oppressive usurpation, and the revival of Peso
and security. There is no truth, we repeat sbo,
the report that Lord MSLVILLE is to g° to
India, nor is there the slightest reason. fn be:
lieve that the Marquis of HASTINGS is desire!,
of returning. Government and ;he East India
Company are too sensible of the great
and important services of the Noble Lord tO Wi6
to recal him ; and if the Paper alluded to were rs'
ther to employ itself in noticing and relating faelj
than in the invention of reports, it I°u
see, as we before observed, by the very prepare'
lions which the Marchioness is making, in 011ie
the
to return to India, the absurdity, as well as
improbability of its daily rumours. The reports°
the intended resignation of Viscount Somorril
are equally unfottoded. His Lordship,dischargiti
his duty witli a firmness which the seditious dresuo;
and, at the same time, with all the urbaniti t

changes mentioned and predicted in the set
Paper, they are wholly without foundation) dot
are, indeed, unworthy of farther notice.

SHIP NEWS.

DOVER, DEC. 20.—Yesterday, about 3 r. as.,
the Chichester packet, Captain RUTTER, arrived
here from Calais with his Excellency Lord CAS-
TLEREAGH, his Lady and suite, after a difficult
Passage, owing to the uncertainty of the weather.
She 'packet sailed from Calais on Friday after-
noon, about 4 P. M., with a favourable wind,
which after some time died away to a calm, and
about six o'clock it began to blow hard to the
N. E., which increased during the night, with a
tremendous sea : in shifting jibs the packet
',itched away her bowsprit, and the Mate unfortu-
natelybad his thigh broken, while employed in se-
curing the broken spar to set a smaller sail on
the stump, which with some difficulty was ef-
fected, and the packet, after being diiven down
as far as Dungeness. Light, arrived without any
further accident. His Lordship and Lady CAS-
TLEREAGH were on deck in their carriage, but
happily received no injury, only being rather
alarmed, and, after getting dinner at WRIGHT'S
Hotel, set off on their journey to London, about
right at night, intending to sleep at Canterbury.
The Transport Yacht, which also came to sea the
Same tide, encountered the gale, and carried away
her bowsprit also, but without any person be-
ing hurt. She brought over the Marquis of WOE..
CESTER. This day the .Lord Duncan, C. HAsitt.-
Totir, arrived about 10 A. M. with his Grace the
bake of WELLINGTON and suite. The King
George, Captain KING, remains at Calais to bring
over his Excellency Count LIEvEN, who was ex-
pected every hour. Transports continue to come
Occasionally' with stores which had been left be-
hind. Blows fresh at West..
P. P. M. Lord.llll.l, is just arrived.
