This forenoon w•e received the fonowing intelligence
from Spain, via Bayonne:

BAYONNE, MAY t.

The letters from Math id of the 26th ultimo speak o!
a body of 56,000 men in Spain, part of whom are to be
employed in attemptitv the reconquest of the Ameri•
can possessions; but as money is wanting, it is said that
an application will be made to the Philippine COM.
parry, Mild) has money in its coffers. A change of Mi-
nisters has been much talked of, but does not seem pro-
bable, the peseta being supported by M. Ugarte. the
favourite, who has unlimited influence with the King.
The partizans or the late system continue to be treated
with severity. The ancient Con egi iors ofMadrid,who are
in prison, have been informed that they will not be re-
leased unless they reimburse the sums they bad in their
hands ; but as it is known that they employed them in '1
the service of the Constitution, they cannot repay them,
and may expect their imprisonment to be perpetual.
Letters from Toledo announce the departure of their,
Majesties, and that the Royal Vantily would be at
Madrid by the 15th of June, after visiting the I....icurial
and the baths of Sacedon. The Trench Ambassador
was going to set out for Paris, to deknd hinisellagainst
General nourmont, with whom he has ditfot ed tat
several points relative to the policy of the Spanish Go-
vernment. Should the revolt.; of a change of Mi-
nistry really prove true in the end, it is presumed that

The French Papers of Fiiday have leached us. They
contain a paragraph confirming the intelligence we
gave about ten days ago, that an expedition was fitting
ont at Lisbon for South America. The following are
extracts:—

rmus, MAY
Letters from Lisbon, of the 31111 of Arril, say—

" The expedition to Brazil is decreed : it will consist of
9,000 men : the Commander-in Chief' will be Bernardo
de Silveira; the second in command, .1. Carlos de Sal-
danha. The troops lave orders to be ready to depart
within a fortnight at the latest."
MADRID, APRIL 30.
The Baron d'Lroles has been proposed for the Em-
bassy at London. Ilis Majesty will not deprive himself
of his services here, and positively declared his resolution
to the Count d'Ofalia, when he spoke to him of it.
Five millions of the loan of Guebhard have arrived
here, which has been deposited by the King's order in
the Bank of St. Charles. Persons who are well ac-
quainted with the Ministers, affirm that this sum will
not be touched, being destined for the expenses of an
expedition preparing at Cadiz for South America. This
expedition is to consist of three frigates, with 2,500
troops ; and a Commissioner is gone to Cadiz to hasten
the equipment.

The King Returned to Aranjuez the evening before

' yesterday: only two Ministers are with him: the others
have returned to Madrid, as well as M. Ugarte, Secre-
tary of the Council of State. The French troops that
were.with his Majesty have resumed their cantonments
on the two banks of the Tagus: these troops are the
15th and 22d of the line, two battalions of the Swiss
Guard, the 12th and 13th of Cavalry, and 130 Gardes
du Corps, who will be reinforced by 130 others who had
remained at Madrid, and who will set out to-day for
Aranjuez.—The persons confined at Roa have been in
part liberated—the others are to be sent to the prisons
of Valladolid. Among the latter is the Empecinado,
who was falsely said to have been massacred.

This morning we received a file of United States Pa-
pers. The following extracts are from the New York
Gazette of the 16th April.

IN SENATE, APRIL 14.

Mr. Macon said, he thought it was quite time that
Congress should belooking towards the time of adjourn-
ment; and with a view to bring the subject before the
Senate, he offered a joint resolution, authorizing the
President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the !louse
of Representatives, to adjourn the present Session of
Congress on the 4th day of May next : the Resolution •
was read, and laid over for colsideration.

Mr. Lloyd submitted the following rc,olution, which
was read, and stood over for consideration :

Itesolyed,—That the President of the United States
be requested to cause to be communicated to the Senate
so much of the correspondence of the Minister of the
United States at the Court of Lisbon with the G•:vero-
went of POrtllgal,lts has reference to the commeiciai
relations between the two count, ; together with
such other information connected therewith as may be
in possession of the Government, and s% hich, in his opi-
nion, may, without injury to the public interest, be
made known."

FROM PA RA .—We learn by the schooner Dart, which
sailed horn Para on the 10th of March, that every
thing was in an unsettled state ; the Camuta Insurgent.
had possession of the Eland of Maraja and other small
Islands. A snip had been sent to 1.is!:)on full of pa,.sen-
gers ; several vessels had been sent to Cayenne, with
passengers and property. A French schooner had ar
rived at Pala, for the purpose of protecting French pro-
perty. The Government Wai actively engaged in pre-
paring to defend the town ; and the four gun-boats there
had defeated a party of Insurgents, and t,,att two of
their flags. The place was badly supplied with arms.

Two vessels from Sierra Leone arrived at LiverporA
on Thursday cveaing ; but neither of them bring any
confirmation of the disastrous intelligence or the affair
it Accra. One of the vessels arrived is the British Tar,
Captain NEWBY—sailed on the I2,th March, and had

not heard a word relative to the battle: the other the
Britannia, Captain FutaiEsTrit, sailed on the Pith of
March, and had heard nothing. Captain FuLnt II'ER is
of opinion that the story is altogether strange, as, from
What he had heard, the Ashantees had been for some

time wishing to cultivate friendly commercial relations
with the English, and they only objected to the media-
tion of the Fantces.

Letters by a Leeward Island Mail to the I Ith of
April have been teceived in Glasgow. The packet
made an uncommon quick passage out and home, hav-
ing only left Falmouth on the 23d of February. She
brings no news of importance. All the Colonies were
anxiously waiting the result of their petitions and corn.
munications to the Government of the mother country.
The weather in the Windward Islands was very wet, and
in the Leeward Elands exceedingly dry ;both extrernaly
ptejudicial to the crops at this season of the year.

Accounts from St. Petershurgh of the 21st ult. state,
that the EMPEIWIt could not be present at the Easter
ceremony, on account of his late indisposition. Sii
CILAULL•S BAUOT, our Ambassador, will visit England
this summer, on leave. Mr. CATHCART, the Secretary
of Legation, is appointed Ambassador to the German
Diet, and will shortly set out for Frankfort.
