terious conduct of Mr. HORTADO, and are waiting with anxiety a
further explanation.—The Spanish fleet, which sailed from the
Havannah on the 28th of August, and was obliged to return,

Yesterday afternoon, his Majesty's ship HUSSAR ar-
rived at Spithead, from the West Indies and the Spanish
Main. She has an immense number of dollars on board,
being those which Mr. HURTADO gave an order on
Monday for insurance, to the amount of 150,0001.—
The Mexican Minister came passenger in the HussAß.
Philadelphia Papers to the 21st of September, Bar-
badoes to the 3d of September, and Trinidad to the
2d of August, have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house. The Spanish fleet,
which sailed from Havannah on the 28th of August,
has returned, in consequence of several vessels having
been dismasted in the late gale.

By an arrival at Norfolk, it appears that the dis.l
masted frigate lately seen at sea, was a British one,
and not the Brandywine, as was feared.
A letter from St. Croix, dated the sth of August,'
states, that the inhabitants of St. Thomas are in much
dread of an insurrection, as the Commandant's life has
been threatened, and he is guarded wherever he goes.
On the 18th of July, the Governor of Antigua, by
the direction of Earl BATHURST, laid before the Le-
gislature of that Colony sundry Bills touching the do-
mettle policy of that Island; but the two Houses de-
clined to act on them immediately, and passed to the
order of the day.
A smart shock of an earthquake was felt at St. Vin-
cent's and Barbadoes.

We have received French Papers to the 12th inst. and
Thursday's Etoik. The latter gives intelligence from
Constantinople to the 12th of September, which contra-
dicts the previous reports of the excesses and massacres
since the fire, and says that the worst effect of that ca-
lamity was the want of money, which was generally
felt. The Etoile gives a new law passed and published
at Hayti, for establishing public warehouses for per-
mitted merchandize in the principal sea-ports in the Re•
public, at Port-au-Prince, the Cayes, Cap-Haitien, St.
Domingo, and Jacmel. This is done with the view
of establishing the same system of bonded goods as in
this country.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The fluctuation in the Consol Market this morning is scarce
worth mentioning. In the early part of the morning they were at
80} for the Account; since which a small improvement has taken
place, and Consbls may be quoted up to the present time at 150/
for the Account, and for Money at 80; j. No speculation of con-
sequence has taken place, and the Market continues steady.
In the Foreign Market the only business doing is in Mexican
Bonds, which have improved 21 3 per cent. Colombian Bonds
remain steady at 4 01 41.
It is now ascertained that the Hums frigate brings dollars to the
amount of 1,450,0001. a part for the Mexican Government, and the
remainder for the merchants. The Hotta is said to have left
Vera Cruz the Ist of September, bringing a Mexican Eeraordbbetry
Gazette, of the removal of the Congress of Panama to Mexico.
Havannah Papers are in town to the 15th of September, they do
I not bring the return of the Spanish fleet, only stating that a convoy
of two men of war had returned.
