IRT.:N, JULY 12.

T..c Government Las published some e•traets of dispatches
whi.ll it has received front Mexico, but they furnish little infor-
mation ; they speak of the pursuit of vuriou; bands of robber;.
of their dispersion, and the restabil3hment of tranquillity in one
province. However, mercantile. letters received from Vera
Cruz, dated a fortnight later than the above accounts, contain
some circumstances which are not without interest. They say
that the Royal troops, having taken prisoners on different occa-
sions, those unfortunate persons were inunedistely shot. Jasrti:
Toasts, whose band is pretty mai:, ~rous, having litely taken
eight Dragoons of the Regiment of Mexico, had sever. cf them
' shot in his presence, and sent back the eighth to tho Spaniards,
with this message :
" Tell your General what you have seer. If he persists in
treating his prisoners with such inhumanity, tell him that I am
resolved to use reprisals, and to revenge the blood of the inno-
cent, by sacrificing all the enemies who shall fall into my hands."
These letters add, that the communications between Vera
C:uz and Mexico are not perfzctly free, and that the convoys
coming to that port are always escorted by numerous detach-
ments of troops to protect them.
The Cersairs of the Ind:Terdentc had hitherto contented them-
selves with infesting the Ocean, hut it appears that they now
intend to extend their pillzt;.: to the Mediterranean, into which
several of them have entered to craize. If this sea is threatened
as is reported, with fresh dt•predati:,ns of the Barbary Pirates,
we shall have no trade left us, ard in the present state of our
Monarchy we have not means to revenge so many insults, and
to make our Bag respected.

At the beginning of next month. there will be a general review
of the troops composing the army of the elpedition at Cadiz ; it
is believed, that immediately after they will be embarked on
' board the transports which are to convey them to South Ame-
rica. This army has lately been reinforced by four thousand
chosen troops. There has also arrived at Cadiz a great number
of sailors•levied on the coasts of the Ocean and the Mediterra-
nean, to complete the crews of the most formidable armament
that ever sailed from the ports of Spain on so distant an ex-
pedition.

We have received letters from St. Thomas of the
26th June, which state, that in the latter part of
May his Majesty's brig SWALLOW arrived from La
Guayra and Puerto Cabello. While the SWALLOW
was going into La Guayra, an English brig of war,
which had arrived there from Margaretta, was leav-
ing the port, said to have been dispatched by the
Governor of Barbadoes, to ascertain the truth of the.,
report of so many Englishmen having arrived at
Margaretta, and to give timely notice of any impek-
ing danger to the English interest in La Guayrie...
The Coptaiu of the brig of war declared to the Cap-

tain-General of the Caraecac, that he laiself had
seen at Margaretta 3000 troops, who were preparing
to make an immediate descent upon part of the coast.
This news had thrown the people Of the CAraccas
and La Guayra into a state of despondency. Troops
had been sent from Caraccas to strengthen the Gar-
rison. Business was completely at a stand in La
Guayra and Puerto Cabello, in consequence of the
above intelligence.

The Paris Papets of Tuesday arrived this forenoon.
The Session of the two Chambers of Bavaria Was
closed on the 16th instant.
An article from Constantinople states that the dif-
ficulty which prevented Spain from concluding a
commercial treaty with the Porte has been removed,
by a special order of the Sultan, and the treaty satis-
factorily arranged.
Accounts from the same capital mention that a
convention has been agreed upon between the Pacha
of Egypt and Messrs. Lee and Buckingham, two
British merchants, (the first is Consul at Cairo,) to
facilitate the trade with India by the way of Suez.

A Dutch Mail arrived to-day, with Papers to the
'2Bth instant. We extract from them an account of
some disturbances which have broken out among the
week-people in the large manufacturing district which
surrounds the city of Lisle :

BRUSSELS, JULY 24.
Accuunts from Lille say, that in the great plain
round that city, on which there are several large
towns, such as Roubaix, Turcoin, and Mosirocn,
many thousand woikmen live, who gain a good live-
lihood by working in the manufactories. Within this
year, many Netherland and some English manufac-
turers have settled here, and from time to time fur-
nished better work. The jealousy this excited, and
also a diminution of the demand, by which some
master-manufacturers have been obliged to discharge
some workmen, or to lower their wages, have caused
fresh discontent, and then a kind of insurrection.
—Numerous bands of workmen armed with sticks,
folk., and sabres, :Goa a3seiriblzd in tee towns and
demanded that the foreign workmen shall be sent
away, threatening if their demand is not complied
with, to set fire to the manufactories. The gendar-
merie assembled immediately from all quarters and
were suppor.ed by some detachments of the garrison
of f.il:e. In several places they have come to blows,
and some of the workmen have been wOunded and
put under strict confinement. Meantime the spirit
of discontent is not allayed in this populous plain,
lat/t the Magistrates have adopted the best measures
to preserve tranquillity.
