HAMBUIt6iI MA!L.

Accounts from Stockhcloi, by the Mail of this
morning. alluding to the notice taken in the Luglish
Papers of the Swedish prohibitory decrees, allege
that the English Journalists have misunderstood wear
....Or at least their origin. The same prohibitions
existed twenty years ago."—Now this alters nut the
fact in the least.. The Swedish-ports ware opened to
British manufactures and colonial produce during the
war, when the vas of almost every other State in
Lurope were shut to our commerce : now the impor-
tation of all these commodities is prohibited.
The Pair at Warsaw, which concluded on the 9.1
ult, proved much better than was eivected. The
sale f colonial goods, cloth and linens in particular,
was very considerable. Russian merchants also dis.
posed of large quantities of cattle, tallow, hides,
horsehair, and other Northern productions.
On Lite 4th ult. our Ambassador to the Court of

SOUTH AMERICA.

The accounts in the American Parrs respecting
affairs at Pernambuco are very contradictory. Sorry
of them, as in the extracts which wa gave yesterday'

able to the Revolution; but ethers represent MAR-
TINS and his followas as reduced to great straits-
These accounts are of the 17th of April, at which
, time the port of Pernambuco was blockaded by a
ship of 32 guns and another of 18, with 600 troops
on board. That Portuguese statements should re-
present the attempt of MAtvrtus as hopeless, was to
be expected. The fact that the blockading force bad
made no impresaLen,furnishes some evidence that the
insurrection had the support of the people.

Private kite's from British merchants at Trinidad,
and therefore deserving of credit. rectify some misre-
presentations retpecting the snits of the Spanish
Main, which have been industriously circulated by
some of our contemporaries, who delight in perverting
facts. From the letters which we stib3r,in a judgment
may be formed of the nature of the defence made by
the patriotic garrison of Barcelona. and how dearly
the Royalists purchased their momentary triumph.
The force which left Cadiz in Match last, had ar-
iivrd in the West Indies, though the strength is
greatly exaggerated. The convoy is the COMM:
Diamante of Iti guns, sloop Descubierta of 22. and
eight transports with 1,500 men. What will be the
eventual result of this last effort of the Spanish Go-
vernment may be easily anticipated, when the fate of
MOIIMLUN armada is only considered. The fact is.
the cause of the New World is advancing rapidly in
every direction, nor can Spain, in her sickly and im•
potent state, prevent its progress, particularly when
cruelty and vengeance are the means to which her
agents resort. Montu.o's character is well knows:

" PORT OT SPAIN rAINIDAD, ISTR MAr,
" A letter from Maturin, dated lit May, says—' The defeat
of the Spaniards in Guayana, ir. the late action with General PIAR,
svgs so complete, that of XOOO into of which their army was com-
posed, hardly SO had reached the fortresses.' They marched
out of Old Guayana, it appears, as soon as kff.oat t to's troops had
reinforr.ed them, to attack l'iaa, who was besieging the for-
thief. PIA a. upon this, feigned a retreat, and when he got the
Spaniards at a convenient distance, faced about upon them, and
cut them up In she way described- As his force was chiefly
cavalry, it was necessary to chose his ground where it could act,
which was what he effected in the Savannahs of the Chigoe,.
Caatri 1, the Governor of Guayana, wan killed in the action.
PIA% had resumed the siege a:ter the battle, which was fought
im April. Canino is besieging Auguatura, the present Capita
of that Province; but Old Ouayan a is the stronger place, and
most imptireant on the river as a place of defence. What ea-et a
Spanish fleet of IS sail, consisting of a ship, brigs, and schooners,
under convoy of a 74 sod. two :legate., steering for the Main,
and sigtralled yesterday at Fort Gs rir;s„ may produce, time will
chew. But the independents have upwards ut 12,000 men under
vinous Otters, and well enough diselplineJ, lt appears, to beat
the Spaniards with equal number .
" Moats-La's cruelty in New Granada has exceeded, if pos.
