'he Packet from Malta arrived tiso days ago, and
likings the pleasing intelligence that th 6 Plague has
entirely ceased in that Island, except in one stall
village, which has been surrounded by a double Wall.
Gibraltar seems nearly to have recovered from the
effects of the late fevek, as the trade never was more
brisk or flourishing. The influx of specie is immense,
and every kind of Bri,tith manufactures sells for 50
per cent. mote than it did previous b the sickness.
The BOYNE arrived at Mahon on the lsih ultimo,
to refit, she having had a smart-action with three
sail of the line of the Toulon fleet, in which she had
two men killed and 40 wounded. Ow squadron
could not get up in time to prevent the enemy's
escape into port.
We had a violent gale yesterday from the South-
west, which drove 25 vessels on shore in the Bay, and
amongst others a floating store belonging to LINBLAD
and Co. loaded with coffee to the amount of .850,000.

The Ha'vannah Diary, of the 4th of February, has
been received, which contains an Extraordinary Ga-
zette of the Government of Mexico, dated January 3,
1814, to the following effect:
" This day the Viceroy has received dispatches
from Brigadier Ciriaco Llanos, commanding the
army of the North, dated Dec. 25 and 28, which
communicate intelligence of the complete rout of the
forces of Morelos, and the other assembled rebel chiefs
in the province of Valladolid. The rebels lost in three
several actions 1,500 men in killed, or prisoners, 30
pieces of cannon, a quantity of ammunition, their
camp, and provisions. Morelos, the rebel chief,
escaped with difficulty, and only accompanied by
about 100 followers. Two kindred of the prisoners
made in the action of the 23d of December had been
shot by way of example, the greater part of them be-
ing deserters, and some of them Europeans.
" Prior to the battles of Valladolid, the same Ge-
neral Llanos had routed the rebel .Galiana and one of
the Rayons in Halpujagua. In this action the san-
guinary Arroyo, Machoro, and one of the Bravos,
were slain."

e?PORTO RICO, DECEMBER 19.

" The worthy Cevallos, Gcvernor of C'ro, who
obtained successes over the rebels in October :Ind No-
vember, has since completely routed them, with thee
loss of 1000 men, killed, wounded, and prisoners, and
among the spoils are three standards and several
pieces of artillery. In the whole, out of 1100, of which
the force consisted, not more than 60 men escaped,
commanded by Aldao. Cevallos entered in triumph
Barquisimeto, and was proceeding by forced marches
to Carraccas.

" General Yanes, after the conquest of Barium, it
is said, marched also upon Carraccas. Cagigal, in
the town of Calabozo, waited until the movements of
the others were made, in order to cooperate.
" The troops of Puerto-Cabello, to the number of
between 13 and 1500 men, broke up on the 17th and
18th of November. and on the 20th reached the fa-
mous estate of Motundo belonging to the revolutionary
Marquis of Toro, which i' distant only twenty-nine
• leagues from Carraccas."

The Spanish Papers contain no certain account of
the arrival of King FERDINAND. The Regency Ga-
zette, of the 10th March, contains the following
article upon this subject :

" The Cortes, after having heard with the greatest
joy the information given to the Regency of the King-
dom, by the General of the First Army, DOH F. Co-
pons and Navia, under date of the 4th inst. of the
approach to the frontiers of Catalonia of the King of
Spain, Don Ferdinand VII. have decreed that prayers
shall be put up in all the churches of the kingdom
for the safe arrival at the capital of our Catholic Mo-
narch, and the prosperity of his Government, under
the sacred shield of the political .constitution of the
Monarchy."
It is supposed that Louts the XVIII. will pro-
ceed without delay to Bourdeaux, to give fresh life
and vigour by his presence to the cause, and taking
with him the Archbishop of RHEIMS, that he will be
crowned in Bourdeaux by that venerable Prelate.
Reports were yesterday circulated of SOULTPS open
defection. We believe them to be groundless. They
may perhaps have arisen from the circumstance,
that one of his Aides-de-Camp, who was taken pri-
soner in the battle of Orthes, had arrived in Town.
He was immediately liberated by Lord WELLING-
TON, on repairing to head-quarters, and making
it appear to his Lordship that he \f..ts a Dutchman.
—This Officer states, that the Conscripts fought with
great courage until they were thrown in disorder,
when several regiments, as with one accord, threw
away their arms,.and dispersed in every direction.
Not less than 12,000 men returned to their homes in
this way, and about 6,000 more were either killed,
wounded, or taken prisoners in the action ' • so that
SOULTPS army was diminished, after.the battle, at the
lowest calculation, 18,000 men.
The communications with Louts XVII T. continue
to be frequent from various pal ts ot France, and even
from Paris itself. Rumour had stated.that TALLEY-
RAND himself had come over to this country, but the
fact is not so. A relation of his arrived a few days
ago, the object of whose mission was, of course, kept
secret. Accounts have been received of the loyal
disposition of Toulouse and Lyons, cities of the first
weight and consequence in the South ; and a Gen-
tleman lately arrived from St. Maloes, confirms what
has often been stated, of the increasing agitation of
Britanny.
