called to the post by public opinion. It appears that
the General enjoys the confidence of the troops.
Spain appears to be suffering severely in her com-
mercial interests, from the prohibitor system which
the Cortes introduced, in their infancy of legislation,
with the vain hope, as the event has proved, of en-
couraging, and obtaining, the preference to native
productions. It has given rise.to a contraband trade,
chiefly through the medium of Gibraltar, to so extra-
ordinary an extent, that the usual channels, for com-
merce-are abandoned.
This is more particularly the case in the southern
ports of Spain, from whence complaints and appli-
cations for redress are transmitted in great numbers
to the capital. Meantime Associations have been
formed in several Districts to put down the illegal
traffic by force, and to punish those by whom it is con-.
ducted. The temptation of large profits, however, is
likely to render their efforts :neffectual, until they are
seconded by the abandonment, or relaxation, on the
part of the Government, of this prohibitor' system.

It is affirmed that Sir HUDSON Lowe's orders from
Government are, that he shell bring home the body of
BONAPARTE in the largest ship of the line on the s•ation.
It is .aid that these orders are pointed and imperatis e
this account he true, the -report of hig hav'ing
desired, in his will, to be interred in St. He ena, is
not correct of course. Whatever his wishe. may have
been on this point, we have no doubt they will be
strictly fulfilled. Every due honour will be paid to
his remains ; and, as an inexorable policy compelled
the Briti•.l Government to treat him, when alive and
in their power, with a rigour entirely foreign to their
character, they will act with their customary eite-
rosity now that the death of this singular man has
released them from the paintul duty, which circum-
stances, utterly unforeseen, had laid upon them. •

A Dutch Mail arrived at a late hour this forenoon,
with Papers to the eed inst. An important law, in-
troducing a new system of Indiect Taxes, has passed
the Second Chamber of the States General.

Extract of a letter from New Orleans, dated May 2

" The United States schooner Nonsuch ,:.rived
here yesterday, from Jamaica and Ilavannah, with j
about 60,000 dollars in specie. Accounts from Old'
Providence mention that Lafitte had been brought
there prisoner by the crew of his large schooner, who
bad risen and taken the command of the vessel. The
Nonsuch found at sea a satl.boat with sir French
sailors on board, who delivered themselves up and
have been brought in : they state they formed a
part of the crew of the armed schooner Esperanza,
sailing under some of the Patriot flags. They left
the Esperanza at Grand Cayana: she had captured
about seven vessels in her last cruize, some of them
with slaves from Africa. The Esperanza originally
mounted three guns, but afterwards increased her
armament to seven: her crew about 25 in number."

Yesterday Viscount StomouTH and the Right Hon.
Sir THOMAS MAITLAND had audiences of the KING,

The preparations in Westminster Hall for the Coro-
nation, are proceeding with all possible dispatch.
Great numbers of Ladies and Gentlemen were admit-
ted yesterday through the polite and obliging atten-
tion of the Lord Great Chamberlain, and the neigh-
bourhood presented a scene of bustle and gaiety.
Much to the honour of the worthy Chief Magistrate
of Exeter, he has suggested that instead of au Illu-
mination in that city, on • he evening of his MAJESTY'S
Coronation, the Poor should be regaled by parochial
subscriptions, to whi. h he o ill readily lend his sanc-
tion and support. Surely the hand of Charity can-
not be more nobly engaged than when united with
loyalty and attachment towards our gracious Sove-
reign, upon the celebration of so important and solemn
a ceremony. It should be a day of general festivity :
the poor and the rich must rejoice together.
Amateurs of the Fine Arts are now eagerly put,
chasing Tickets in TOSIKINS'S PICTURE LOTTERY, in
tonsequel•ce of the neat approach of its Drawing; and
in order to be cure of a Prize, they buy both a Red
and a Black Ticket, as one of these colours are to
be all Prizes.
The re_pOrt which we gave of what fell from the
Earl of LAUDERDALE, in the House of Lords, on
Wednesday night, on the presentation of certain Peti-
tions in favour of the Bill for Preventing
.Cruelty to
Animals, was, we are informed, erroneous in one par-
ticular. His Lordship could not have 44 objected
that 'the Bill to which they referred was only in-
tended to prevent cruelty to horses," for the very first
Words of the Bill are— " whereas it is expedient to
prevent the cruel and improper treatment of horses,
mares, geldings, mules, asses, cows, heifers, steers,
oxen, sheep, and other cattle."
