exports—for olive seeds, read oil seeds; for pepper-, read
palter.
A private letter froni Holland, which we have
seen, after mentioning that the Dutch Government
has resolved to grant licences for these Exports and
Imports, says,—,, If your Government shall discover
a similar disposition, we hope soon to see, at least, a
partial renewal of the intercourse between the two
I countries."

We believe we can now assure our Readers, upon
unquestionable authority, that a very material change
has taken place in the Administration of the Govern-
ment. Marquis WELLESLEY will certainly kiss hands
the day after to-morrow, as First Lord of the Treasury,
and Mr. PERCEVAL as Lord High Chancellor. Mr.
YonKE's patent is already made out as First Lord of
the Admiralty, and Lord MULGRAVE removes to the
Master-Generalship of the Ordnance. We have not
yet heard the names of the Gentlemen who ate ap-
pointed to succeed Marquis WELLESLEY In the Secre-
taryship of Foreign Affairs, and Mr. PERCEVAL in the
Lower House, in the Chancellorship of the Exchequer.
But these facts we hope to be able to ascertain to-
morrow. On the above statement, however, as far
as it goes, our Readers may confidently rely.

the Spaniards, who visited on these unfortunate cap- i
tives the crimes of their countrymen. They were
dying in great numbers from famine and disease.—
About 600 of them, all mariners, had been shipped
on board the English transports, and the remainder,
to the number of about 5000, were to be conveyed to
this country.
Letters from Lisbon attribute the inactivity and re-
trograde movements of the French to a total scarcity
of provisions. They also mention that REGNIER, after
having been compelled to abandon his position on
the Guadiana, effected a junction with part of the two
corps under the command of MORTIER at Daymel.—
It would appear from this movement, that the enemy
were under apprehensions for the security of their com-
munication with the capital. Some of the light troops
belonging to BALLASTEROSIS army are s.tid to have
passed over to the left bank of the Guadalquivir
on the 3d, and to have intercepted a convoy of stores
that was proceeding from Seville to Carmona. The
French were assembling in force at Jaen, for the pur-
pose, as it appeared from intercepted dispatches, of
recovering their footing in Estlemadura.
KENSINGTON GARDENS.--The Promenade of this
delightful spot, yesterday, for the first time this sea-
son, presented a scene of splendour which has scarcely
ever been witnessed at so early a period of the year.
The display of beauty and fashion, to which the un-
common fineness of the weather was peculiarly pro-
pitious, equalled any thing that has ever been observed
in the middle of May ; and the general appearance
of the gardens was calculated more to impress on the
mind the arrival of the month of June, than the pre-
sence of the fickle month of April.
The walk in Hyde Park was completely deserted,
and the throng, as customary in the summer months,
shaped their course along the bank of the Serpentine
River, in order to avoid the dust, which flew in suf-
focating clouds from the ride.
Amongst every class of females summer dresses
were adopted, and not a vestige of the winter costume
remained. Cloaks of white, pink, pale green, lilac,
violet, and straw-coloured satins trimmed with lace,
were extremely prevalent, as were mull muslins
and sarsnet pelisses, of similar hues, in the absence
of which silken scarfs of pink and azure were much
worn. Dresses of gossamer and figured muslins, and
white satin hats and bonnets, with feathers of diferent
colours, were also very numerous.
The Beaux in many instances assumed nankeen and
India dimity trowsers ; but this was not the most pro-
minent feature of dress, boots and pantaloons being
as yet generally worn.
A very numerous muster of the " Four in Hand
Club" added considerably to the effect, and furnished
altogether an assemblage, the appearance of which
was highly gratifying. Among the celebrated whip:,
we noticed, for the first time, Sir JOHN ROGERS, and
Captain AGAR. Lord HAWKE, Mr. Buxton, and
Captain AGAR took the lead. In the drive we like-
wise observed the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES, the
PERSIAN ADISASSADOR ; the Duchesses of MONTROSE,
SOMERSET and LEEDS; and the Marchioness of WIN-
CHESTER, the latter far the first time this year. The
Ladies CARLISLE, NELSON, LIMERICK, PERRY, BERES..
FORD, S. BURGESS, and TYLNEY LONG, exhibited the
newest equipages; the whole weropainted of a bright
yellow colour.

By the Zephyr, of London, Captain 111‘Vattast,
arrived at Plymouth from Martinique, we learn that
the ship Caledonia, —, from Liverpool, arrved at
St. Pierre on the 19th March ; the ships Atalanta and
Lustre from London; and the. Hussaten,
M,FAstuttcr, from Port Glasgow, on the 91st ditto.
The ships Penelope and Christopher, of London; and
Neptune, of Yarmouth, were loading for London at
the departure of the Zephyr, and were expected to
sail for England in the first week of April. The
homeward= bound convoy was to touch at St. Pierre
on the l•ith April, in order that those in St. Pierre
might join them. The Zephyr is one of the fastest
sailing vessels in the merchant service, and had a re-
markably quick run out and home.

FARTHER ACCOUNTS OF JEFFERY.—In contradiction
to the report from Plymouth, of the death of Jeffery,
the seaman left on the island of Sombrero, by Captain
Lake, it gives us pleasure to state the following par-
ticulars, communicated to us by William Watt, who
was on board the Recruit at the time Jeffery was put
ashore on the island : On or about the 11 ti, or 12th
of January, 1809, Mr. Watt, who had been sent into
Barbadoes, with the Mary Ann prize, captured by the
Recruit, saw and spoke with Jeffery, in the house of
one Mrs. Newton, (a widow woman) who keeps a
small grog-shop there. He then appeared in 2 very
bad state of health ; and shewed Mr. Watt his arms,
of which (as stated in the Plymouth account) the un-
fortunate man declared he had been compelled to eat,
having been ten or twelve days on the island without
sustenance. After the usage Jeffery had experienced.
he expressed his resolution of never returning to Bri-
tain, and at the time Mr. Watt saw him, he spoke of
going to Philadelphia.—Dundee Mercury.
The following letter we copy from the Cornwall
Gazette of Saturday, the 28th instant.
Fowev, Arm 27.—" Dear Sir, in consequence of your let-
: ter. I have had a convention with Mtn Line (sister to Nathaniel
Jeffery's father) who informs me that her nephew Nathaniel
Jeffery, a native of Lowey, being on board the Recruit sloop of
war, commanded by Captain Lake; at a time when the people
wanted water in the West Indies, Jeffery got at and drank some
spruce beer belonging to the Captain, for which he was to suffer
punishment. Mr. Richard Mould (also a native of Fewey.)
cond Lientenant, was ordered by the Captain to put Jeffery on
shore. The Lieutenant remonstrated; but could nut prevail on the
Captain to adopt any other nulde of punishment. Some of the
boat's crew had a few biscuits and a piece of beef. Jeffery, when
in the boat rowing on shore, desired them to drown him, but
they could not, and must obey the Captain's order. When the
boat was on share he clung to the boat. At last, the nun forced
him on the barren rock. They gave him the biscuit and the beef.
Lieutenant Mould would have given him money; but he replied,
it was of no use to him :he then gave him the boat-hook and
staff, and three handkerchiefs, to hoist as signals; after which
th.y left him. This was related to her by -- Libby and ---
Johns, two seamen of Polperro, then belonging to the ship (soon
after they were dicharged), but these men will not say anything
about it now, as this woman says. She heart: Lientenant Mould
say, that on their arrival in England (Captain Lake and Lieute-
nant Mouki returning in hope of promotion, Libby and Johns
being discharged) Captain Lake said, " I hope when I have ano-
ther ship, we shall sail together." lieutenant Mould replied,
" No, never—recollect Jeffery." '1 be Captain said, " I wish I
had never done it." Mr. Mould is new is the East laclies:
