FROM TUE MONITIWR OF NOV. :D.
. .
. . CADIZ, OCTOBER 29.
The declaration of war by the Regency of Algiers-
does much injury to the coMmerceof this city, from the
prudential measures ordered by the Board ef Health.
Vessels coming from the Antilles, instead of entering
Cadiz were obliged to go and perform quarantine at
Port Mahon, in Minorca. Now, that this qn,nantine is
finished, we have three frigates, a brig, and a •cilooner,
which cannot go out of it skithout tear of being cap-
tured by the Barba** corsairs: Some •tinve ago the
merchants applied to Government fora sufficient force
to protect them when they sailed, and to convey them
hither, but it seem% that important matters have
hot allowed it to attend to this; in consequence, the
owners, underwtiters, and other per:,,ns interested in
the catgoes of these ships, are going to meet, in order
to take measures to obtain a convoy of some kind or
other, which may relieve these vessels from the situation
in which they now are placed.

• PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
" MADRID, NOVVIBER 8. 1 82 4.
" The preparations for tire- departure of the Ft elicit
Army continue•to be carried on with activity; it is tl e
21st of the present month that the head-quarters are to
be removed from the capital. In the order of the (lay
of yesterday, it was signified to the troops compositrg,
the garrisons, that on the 15th instant they should re-
ceive a certain portion of their pay in advance. Not-
withstanding those signs of departure, there ate maky
who still refuse to believe in the reality of the intention,
and they add that a counter-resolution has already been
adopted. Their reason for believing this is the bullan
departure of the Commandeer-in•Chicf (who for the last
fe•.x• days had been indisposed) for the Escurial, after
receiving an extraordinary courier from Paris.. 'the
preparatory measures for the trial of the Ex Nliniirtir
Cruz have been confided, by a Royal oriier, to the
Supreme Council of War, and the prisoner has been
transferred to another and less. incommodious prison.
—Orders have been sent to the provinces to ar cst all
the Freemasons and Communeros, whose names have
been found in the authentic registers, which the gotta
appointed to that effect have got, or pretend to have
got possession of. The Bishop of Cuerea has, in con-
sequence of an order and accompanying list sent to
him, deprived of their benefices forty-four curates, and
shut them up in a convent. At Avila thirty two per-
sons have been arrested for having belonged to sestet
societies, and a similar system of incarceration is car-
lying on with activity all over the Peninsula. - At the
village of Brea (Arragon), a search was made at the
paternal mansion of General Ballasteros, and his brother
strictly examined as to his posse sion of concealed arms.
—lt is reported here, at present, that the 3000 men as-
sembled at Cot mina, and destined to compose the expe-
dition to the Island of Cuba, have desetted in great
numbers. 1 have seen letters from that city confirma-
tory of this intelligence ; they state that, in con elience
of a drunken dispute between two companies of be;diel s,
some of the most turbulent were sent to prison ; upon
which a great number of their comrades took to flight,
and to prevent the remainder from following their ex-
ample, the Captain-General of the province had or.
dered them to be shut up in their barracks until fur.
ther orders. There.is a report also of a popular tumult
which has broken out at Badajos, but which the autho-
rities had succeeded in quelling. To-day, an unfortu-
nate sectarian belonging to a. neigboui ing village, was
shot, having been condemned by the Military Executive
Commission, as an accOmplice in the affair of Tar arcon."

Letters from MAI id of the Bth instant state, that in
consequence of the report received from the Royalist
army in Peru, 'the Government has sent nut dispatches,
re-appointing LA SERNA to the Vice Royalty, and es-
e,sing approbation of all the measures adopted by
CANTSRAC and VALDEZ. LA SERNA has had conferred
on him the title of " Duque tie Ins Andes."
A letter from Cape Coast Castle, dated Sept. 6, says
—" Our last engagement has completely broken the
spirit of the Ashantees. It was a bloody affair, and the
first time both parties had fairly joined battle since the
fatal day of Asiamacan. Affatoo is the Waterloo of
this part of the world. It has led to the retreat of the
enemy, completely humbled and ashamed. As far as
we can judge. there is no chance of their returning In a
hostile manner."

Quebec Papers to the 26th ult. hare been received,
but they are without interest.

Intelligence has been received from Madras to the
241 of Augur, but it is unimportant.

Frankfort Papers, to the 17th instant, reached us this
forenoon. The following are extractc.
STUTGARD, NOVEMBER is.

Our Government, which has lately concluded with
the Principalities of Hohenzollern, Hechingen, and Seg-
maringen, a convention, by which those States recipro-
cally guarantee the freedom of trade in the interior, and
abolish the Custom-houses on their respective frontiers,
has just entered into negotiations with the Bavarian
Government, which are founded on the same principles.
The two Courts have agreed on the chief articles, and
there is treason to hope that Bavatia and Wuttemburg
will shortly abolish the Custom-houses between them,
and will form, in commercial respects, only one State.
Nothing can be more advantageous to the land!
owners and merchants, and all those who exercise any
branch of industry, than the prospect of seeing the
market extend to a population of five millions of per-
sons. There is reason to hope that when the example
is set by these two Powers, the other Governments of
Southern Germany will soon be convinced, that in com-
merce, as well as in other things, united powers are
best, and will join Bavaria and Wurtemburg.
DARMSTADT, NOVEMBER 13.

In consequence of the great damage done by inun-
dations since the beginning of this month, in many
parts of the provinces of Stackenburg and the Upper
Rhine, the Ministry has ordered that the levying of
taxes on those whose houses or furniture have suffered
by the inundations, shall be provisionally suspended for
the moothe of November and Decembe.. if their situa-
tion is such, that till they have obtained the legal re-
duction of taxes to which they are entitled, they cannot
pay taxes without depriving themselves of necessaries.
The Officers of the Garrison, and the greater number
of Civil Officers, have subscribed two per cent. of their
salaries for the relief of the sufferers, and the inhabitants
in general have subscribed considerable sums for the
same purpose.
ELBERFELD, NOVEMBER S.

Oar Gazette contains an •• extract from the Report of
the Agents of the German American Mining Company,
who are gone to Mexico." In a letter from the Port
of St. Sacrificios we read, 44 Vera Cruz is a vast ruin.
Not a single house is undamaged, and the greater num-
ber are abandoned. An the streets are covered with
rubbish, fragments of shells and cannon balk, and none
are seen passing through them but soldiers. And what
an appearance do those make? Some wear uniforms of
cloth. others linen jackets, but most of them have only
large straw hats, with no clothing but a shirt and
trowsers, without shoes, or any other garment, or
or at most a narrow piece of carpet, with a hale cut in
it for the head to pass through, thus. forming a stubsti•
•
tute for a cloak. A bad sabre often fastened with a rope
round the waist, and a musket, are their only arms. Yet
the people are in high spirits and proud of their liberty."
It is stated, and the news, though wanting confirma-
tion, is by no means improbable, that the GUANO SEIG•
MDR has been deposed. This information is not only
inserted in the Austrian Papers, where it would never
have obtained admission if it could possibly have been
denied, but is also conveyed in letters from Constan-
tinople itself. One dated October the 21st, has been
received, which announces that the Turkish capi-
tal was in a stare of general consternation, " from the
Greek fleet having taken a position at the mouth of,
the Dardanelles, by which the .usual supplies of corn
and provisions were completely cut off." Nothing could
more clearly demonstrate to the people of Constanti-
nople the real issue of the late campaign than such a
step on the part of the Greeks.
Letters from Constantinople, confirm the news of the
decapitation of the Capta;• Paella. He was beheaded
in one of the Courts of the Seraglio, in the presence of
the SULTAN himself; and it remains to be seen whether
this sacrifice will render the Turks better seamen, Ansi
the next Captaiii Pacha more fortunate.

This morning we received a file of Lisbon Gazettes,
from the Ist to the 11th inst. They are principally
filled with extracts from French, Spanish, and English
Journals: they bare nothing from Brazil but extracts;

'from the Rio de Janeiro Journals (from the English
Papers), nor is nay mention whatever made of the lately
discovered conspiracy.
The Gasette of the grief Novernhei ,contains a Notice
from the Board of Ileahh (dated so far back as the 22d
of October), in which it is stated, that the Portuguese
Consul at New York, in a dispatch of the 4th of Sept.
and at Philadelphia, in a dispatch of the SOth August,
have given notice that the yellow fever had appeared at
Charleston and New Orleans. The Board accordingly
orders vessels from these and the neighbouring ports to
perform quarantine.
