GIBRALTAR, JUNE 22.

'pie American Commodore, in the Franklin, is gone
'adiz for a few days, perhaps he may have some-
g to stay iLspeetingtheFlorida Treaty, which has
bLvo ratified. This circumstance has certainly
n rise to strange rumours. The Marquis (and
chimiess too, who is an American Lady) de limo
be.mt bani;ited to a miserable village in Old Cas-
The reasons assigned for this singular measure
various. Some say, because he was. greatly in
air of the Florida Treaty and the Americans. It
eel appears, he was a great landholder in the Flo-
gas, consequently interested in the success of the
taty, as he would then be able to:sell his lands to
tantage. Others say, that as Minister of State, he
given instructions on this subject to Mr. Oms,
h his Master knew ncitlung about. For all this,
ire say, there are some grounds ; but the fact Is,
'Jo was not liked by FERDINAND'S servile party,
lad married an American, the daughter of a ;trey.
)us Republican, and is himself well read In Tole
RCUSSEAV, and VOLTAIRE. He was not subs
i -nt enough to the Friars and Inquisition party ;
od, he has lived out of Spain all his life time,
to liberal for the race of men employed by
g lEEDINAND.
C:-..atercr may he the additional reasons, it is con-
iitly believed the Treaty which was to cede the
ridas to the United States will not be ratified, or
cert linty not tilt the very last moment allowed
the KING'S acceptance. It is, moreover, posi.
ly stated, that the British :Minister, in Madrid,
entered his solemn protest, on behalf of his Go.,
amen; to prevent the said cession of the Floridas
the United States, saying, that if they are ceded,'
;land will immediately proceed to acknowledge
indee;endence of the South American States;
.they urging, that if Spain does yield to the pre-
lions of the United States, in this instance, she
tv be pressed soon afterwards to give up Mexico
the same grasping ambition. Such are the ac-
ints we have here. and they came from a very good
patter, and in a very straight line..
As the term for the exchange of the ratikatioq op
pies in a few days, we shall soon learn the result, and
will be known here sooner than any where else,
:onsequence of the presence of the American aqua-
or., It wirs I e a curious circumstance, if these ships,
rich have been overawing the Barbary States, should
vLe used to punish the Spaniards. The Ame-
ns. oho hold possession of the Florid is already,
have bought nearly all the lands held by private

lIF r.ATF Dt-nus AT Gtaam.x.ta.r.-Extract of a
!ate letter trom Gibraltar, dated the 2.3 d June:—
k few days ago the whole of the American sqna-
m, that has for some time been cruizing in the
ditcrranean, arrived here from Naples. The' ob-
: of the American Commodore's visit to this place,
understand to be, an inquiry into the circum-
Aces which led to he publication of some articles
the London Papers, relative to the late duels (he-
Ten British and American Officers of the Erie
ilst lying at Gibraltar), and purporting to be on
authority of letters from this place. After some
respondence with the Governor on the subject,
atmodore Sroattr has ordered a Court of Inquiry
he held on board the Guerrier, to examine into
,t whole affair, which is now going on over at Al-
tras. In the mean time, that no further quarrels
ty take place between the British and American!,
Governor has laid an embargo on the whole
mixer, prohibiting all Officers going into the Spa-
liaes by land or water, whilst on the other hand
!the American Officers are forbidden landing at
ibraltar, unless on special duty, those of the Erie
!, however, totally excepted. With regard to the
icy cf this Court of Inquiry different opinions are
an:lined, many people doubt the utility of this
-wnol proceeding in the case bf private quarrels."
lhursday evening, about seven o'clock, the back
of the house of Mr. Robson, Bird-case-maker,

TILE• REGENTS FANCY BALL.

The letropolis of England was never known to
be fuller of company, sot even when the Sovereigns
honoured it with their p:esence, than at the present
time; yet notwithstanding the crowded state of the
Town, the business of the retail traders was tot so
brisk as might have been exrected. Under these cir-
cumstances, the PRINCE RE;;ENT, with a due regard
to the trading and manitiacturiny part of the com-
munity, as well as for the great gratification of the
higlter orders, determined to give a Grand Ball upon
an extended scale ; and that it might give as great a
spur as possible to commerce, as well as novelty and
attraction to the nobility and persons cf distinction,
on his Royal Highness's cords of invitation, he com-
manded that the Ladies should appear infancy dresses
or new ones, &c. a similar command was issued to
the Gentlemen, with the addition of full dress or uni-
forms as fincy dresses.
The Dress-makers have been called upon, in con-
junction with the Ladies, to exercise their invention
and taste to produce effect, in wiich great numbers
most happily succeeded; as well as the Tailors with
the Gentlemen, in producing the costumes of other
countries, consisting of Spanish, German, French,
Turkish, ladians, Swedish. Some had Getman head-
dresses; one of them had long curious beautiful sa-
lter pins in various forms, and fastened to the hair on
the back of the head, having theappearance of a fan.
there were a number of college caps, or trencher'
taps, as they are commonly called. The Duchesses(
LEEDS wore a cap after the manner of the cavalry,
With a bag hanging from the top. Poppy-coloured
.satin was the most prevailing, and also a consider-
able quantity of biue. There were a great number
of fancy dresses of white lace over white satin, &c
They were literally fancy, and had considerable me-
rit in their invention, not being in any particular.
country or costume; they were principally short
robes of the above materials, of various colours, very
richly trimmed with gold and silver, and were gene-
rally much shorter than the petticoats. There were
a number of splendid dresses of gold and silver lama
and tissue. A great number of Spanish hats were
worn with plumes of white feathers, diamonds, and
other jewels. Many of the veils were very long, sus-
pended from the top of the head, and formed u taste-
ful drapery to the general dress.
1 The whole of the suite of rooms were opened for
ithe occasion, including the Regent's Closet. The
room set apart for dancing was the second from the
Grand Hall, the floor of which was most taireiiilly
decorated by an eminent Artist. One of the windows
Ilwas taken out for the purpose of fitting up a tempo-
rary orchestra for the amusements of the evening, in
which was stationed a very numerous and excellently
selected Band of first-rate performers. The Quad-
rilles were called by Mr. MOYART, and led by Mr.
PAINE, of Almack's—the Country Dances, by Mr.
Gow. The•whole of the suite of rooms were bril-
liantly illuminated, and decorated with growing
plants, exotics, &c.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the Porters, in
their State liveries, with their long staffs and splen-
did scarfs, were at their posts in the lodges where:the,
carriages entered. The side-doors were opened for
chairs, and Livery Servants were stationed there to
conduct them. The Marshalmen, the Gentlemen
and Under-Porters were also in attendance. Four
additional lamps were lighted on the outside of the
grand entrance. The whole of the Court-yard and
Outbuildings had additional lamps. On each side of
the Grand Hall were evergreens, -plants, &c, brougtit
from the Royal Gardens. On one side were placed
refreshments, on which were two large silver cande-
labras, containing twelve uncommonly large wax..
candles. In the Octagon Hall was a chandelier, in
which were twelve patent lamps. On the staircase
leading to the lower suite of rooms were placed trees,
plants, flowers, &c. In this suite of apartments,
moms were set apart for refreshments and supper.
The principal dining-room, and the temporary room
in the garden (which was used for refreshment at the
late Juvenile Ball), were set apart for supper. Re-
freshments were also served from the Octagon-room
and Council Chamber in the State Rooms.
A Quard of Honour marched into the Court yard
at nine o'clock, preceded by the Band of the Sd Re-
giment of Foot Guards, is their State uniforms. A
detachment of the Life Guards arrived about the
same time in Pall-mall, atul halted opposite Carlton
House, to assist the Police, of which there were
Townsend, Sayers, and a numerous assemblage, who
preserved the greatest order and tranquillity. The
Pages and other Gentlemen of the Royal Establish-
ment appeared in their State uniforms in the Grand
Hall and other apartments of Carlton House, to re-
ceive the distinguished company. 'The company con-
tinued to arrive till twelve o'clock, in the greatest
order and regularity. •
The PRINCE REGENT was in most excellent health,
and received his distinguished guests with his usual
affability and condescension. His Royal Highness
'entered the room set apart for dancing soon after
'eleven o'clock, and commanded. the Band to strike
up. Dancing soon after.conamenced, which began
with Quadrilles- As the different branches of the
Royal Family arrived, they were saluted with " clod
