/RUN, JULY S.

The news from Cadiz and Coruntia is very serious
with respect to the depredations of Insurgent priva-
teers. There is a squadron consisting of six vessels
on the coast, one of which carries p 0 guns. It is
said that a frigate, loaded with ingots and piastres,
has been taken a few days after she sailed from the
Havannah.

Letters froth Madrid give occasion to much un-

easiness as to the state of our relations with North
America ; some even speak of war as inevitable.—
Our differences with the Court of Brazil are also far
from being so completely arranged as we supposed
they were.
PRIVATE LETTER.

" Pans, Jvir 18.

" The letter which Marmont has just published to
the Duke of Ragusa, does him infinite honour. The
object of this letter, which has been circulated in all
shapes except in the columns of the Journals, is to
support with his testimony, the revelations of Colo-
nel Fabrier, who, after that distinguished patriot,
Camille Jourdan, was the first to throw a glare of
light on the scenes of horror of which the City of
Lyons was the theatre in June 1817.
44 It is impossible but that the French Government
must throw aside the indifference which it has mani-
fested in this affair, when its attention is thus forcibly
called to it by men who are held in such general
esteem.

" We have seen that when one single individual is
murdered, nothing can stay for a moment the aveng-
ing hand pf justice—and, shall it be said, that when
no less than two hundred and sixteen. Frenchmen have
been judicially condemned—when the greater part
have been put to death, and the rest consigned to
infamy—and when it is veritably asserted that all
this has been done without a shadow of just cause,
the Ministry remained tranquil, and suffered such
atrocities to pass unnoticed ?
"The reality of the conspiracy is still doubted by
many. It is, indeed, remarkable, that although the
most formal denunciations have been madt by men
who enjoy in a great degree the confidence of the
public, the nation is still left in uncertainty as to the
real truth of the case. What is to be thought of such
horrible suspicions existing, and no inquiry being
made—or at least its results made known? Such is
the nature of the crimes imputed to General Cannel,
that it might have been naturally supposed that-the
General himself, as well as 211 France, would have
been most ardently desirous to have the charge in-
stantly sifted to the bottom. Either there are great
criminals, or great calumniators. In either case, in-,
quiry is indispensable; for no man surely will agree,
with M. Chabrol. that if persons in power arc in-
volved in such crimes, it would be well to dig to the
centre of the earth to conceal the fact for ever. Such
concealment might be well for the wicked, but can
never do under a Representative Government, which
owes to the people publicity and responsibility. The
truth ought, on the contrary, to be proclaimed on the
house-top:, that the like may never happen again.

" The conduct of Marmont, I must again repeat,
is much to his honour. lie has done his duty, which
is the more honourable in him, since it is a task by
Alo means :lee :rant o—it:ger, for doubtless it must be
some strong motive which prevents the Minister from
following the usual course of obtaining justice."

Intelligence has been received, via Holland, from
the Cape of Good Hope, which states, that since the
interview which the Governor bad with the Chiefs of
the Cafres, on the Cars river, GAIKA, and the Chiefs
which were under him, have observed strictly the
spirit of the Conventions concluded at that time with
all the Chiefs of the frontiers. The turbulent flee-
booter, Sambiar, had, however, together with others
over whom he exercised his influence, broken the en-
gagements entered into, by teething to give up the
cattle which they took from the colonists, and which
were known tc be hidden in great numbers in their
villages. • The party, under the orders of Comman-
dant MuLLen, received orders from Sambiar to quit
his territories, or risk the tonsequences, but this inso-
lence, it was determined, should not go unpunished
and force, if it was necessary, should be employed,
as in the village where Sambiar dwelt, there were no
less than ft.'ooo head of tittle belonging to the colo-
nists, from whom they had been pillaged, and. in or-
der to regain them, I`Nor FP.ASFR received an or-
der to transport his trcops to Kieskamma for the
purpose of making the exaction. They amounted to
SOO men, together with 150 armed inhabitants on
horseback. The Chief, Sambiar, being made ac-
quainted with these movements, put himself at the
head of 2000 Cafres to meet the Major, who having
vainly attempted to obtain his object by mild mea-
sures, commenced operations to enforce his demand.
Sanibiar continued his outrageous conduct, threaten-
ing to kill any one who dared approach, as he was
reinforced by nine other Chiefs. Notwithstanding
this appearance of strength, the Cafres were in a very
short time dispersed by a general discharge of mus-
ketry, and Major FRAsER took 2000 head of cattle,
which were distributed to their owners. In the affair,
an immense number of Cafres were killed, but the
loss of the force under Major FRASER was very
trifling. It was expected abthe Cape that tranquil-
lity would in future be secured, by this useful lesson
received by the most outrageous of the brigands.

The spirit of combination which has displayed it-
self among the Cotton Spinners of Manchester, does
not appear to be yet subdued. They have as yet ab-
stained from acts of open violence, but they con-
tinue to parade the streets in large bodies, with the
obvious intention of intimidating the Master Manu-
facturers into the concession of their demands.

The account of the condition of the QuEau yes-
terday was, " The Qualm continues much the same
as yesterday.".
