"-Bra—His Majesty's Vice-Consul in New Orleans
hosing informed me that two expeditions are fitting
oat in that City With the greatest baste ; the one ma-
ritime and the other to act by land, with a view to
renew the scenes of horror, robbery and assassination
in the interior provinces of Mexico. Independent of
the volunteers engaged in the province of Louisiana,
according to the advice. I have received, a body of
adventurers is expected to come down from Ken-
tucky, in order to assemble in the Sabine Bay, and
undertake a march into the interior of thence
of Texas, commanded by that monster Bernardo
Gutierrez, Toledo, Anaya. Humbert, and their fol-
lowers. On the Bth of July last, two brass six-poun-
ders were seen publicly shipping in New Orleans,
and it is said 1000 muskets were also to be embark.
ed, the whole being intended to serve in this same
expedition. Citizen Petit, one of Bernardo Gutier-
rez's Adjutants, and actually is the service of these
States, lam assured, is going as the Chief of these
vagabond Americans; and that he has even enlisted
several of the officers and soldiers under furlough
from the army of this Republic. Their number
already amounts to 500 men, and for the maintenance
of these troops the necessary provisions hive been
shipped. The maritime expedition, according to the
assurances I have received, is to bt commanded by
the famous pirate Vincent Gambi, who not long ago
was liberated from capital punishment, through a
special pardon of the Court of Admiralty in New
Orleans. lam also informed, that the Barataria
privateers now carry their prizes to the Sabine Bay,
from whence they introduce their pillage into New
Orleans, and it is supposed that the army of vaga-
bonds belonging to these States, in which I am in-
formed there are only five Spaniards, is to leave the
City of New Orleans commanded by General Hum-
bert, will be conveyed to the above Bay, and from
thence ascending the Sabine river, will soon be on
the Spanish territory.
" I have communicated the whole Of this infor-
mation to the American Government, demanding, in
the most strenuous manner, that orders should be
issued to disperse these adventurers ; to compel them
to return inland far from the frontiers; and that the
promoters and abettors of all such enlistments should
be punished with the penalties prescribed by the
• laws. I doubt whether my demand will be carried
into effect, because, besides the Administration being
deaf to my complaints, it would be incompatible
with the idea that has been formed of emancipating
our possessions in this hemisphere.
" Of the whole of this I inform your Excellency,
in order that you may take due note of the same,
and adopt the necessary measures to prevent the in-
jury that would, result if the same is carried into
effect, as I no longer doubt of the projected attack
on the province of Texas. Goo preserve yOur La-
cellency many years, acce Ste. kc."

111011 TIN WIZ TO THE SAM!.
" Sm—Joseph Bonaparte has just passed through
this City on his way to Washington. I am assured
he has brought a large quantity ot money and jewels,
and that he intends establishing himself in these
States. Notwithstanding this man, in any other
country, would be tlespicable in consequence of his
want of taker,. and the state to which his family is
reduced, nevertheless he may cause us wow injury
here. where perhaps he may find persons who, either
as admirers of Napoleon or devoted to his person,
may induce him to enter into some rash enterprise,
with a view to enjoy his money. In consequence cf
this I have forwarded a circular to all his Majesty's
Consuls in this Republic, instructing them to find
out the quantity of money and jewels he has brought
with him, in case among the latter any should be
found belonging to the Crown of Spain; what am
Le makes of his money; what persons associate with
him ; what are his designs ; sind, in a word, scrupu-
lously to watch over all his movements and actions,
and inform me of the same without delay. If they
should ascertain any thing of importance connected
with the kingdom of Mbxtco, Isbell not fail so notify
the same to your Excellency, • in order that rots may
be able to adopt proper measures.
" I have informed your Excellency, in my ante-
rior dicAtCbCll, that two Expeditions were preparing
in NewOtlean‘ formed out of vagabond and seder
. tious people, who have for•object to 'evade the in e-
rior provinces. In consequence of the energetic re-
presentations I have addressed to the Government ot-
this country, complaining of the scandalous manner
in which armaments were tolerated in the interior of
this Confederations I have been able to induce the
President of these States to issue the Proclamation of
which I now incline 'a translated copy to your Ex.
cellency, as by it - the Justices and other Authorities
are charged to pursue and arrest the persons enlisted
in said expeditions, according to the tenor of the
laws. But as these clandestine machinations are in'
conformity to the wishes of the greatest part of the
Citizens of this country, and as nobody will take the
trouble to pursue these revolutionary folks, I have
given ceders to the Ring's Centel in New Orleans,
which place is the focus of these expeditions, to ap.
pashithd and preetwow before the law -xlietimranae.
'satiated in this nefarious conspiracy. The dismal
and critical state. to which I find myself reduced,
through the-absolute want of funds, has Pretreated'
me from taking more active and efficacious steps to
arrest these Rebels, as for this money is necessary,
and I am entirely without means, having-received
no supplies from your Excellency, who is the only
one so aid we in the present day. The Intendant of,
the Havanoah, to whom I have addressed myself,
has been deaf to' my necessities, and I here stand
without credit or means, with a thousand cares to
attend to, and suffering a thousand privations de-
'grading to my character; and what is more painful
to me than all, seeing the service of our Sovereign
suffering for the want of funds, without being able to
prevent it. The expenses of this office are ray con-
siderable, and the estraordinaries arrin general of
the greatest urgency. If I had been possessed ot
funds, I might have claimed and obtained the testi-
'tuuon of one of his Majesty's corvettes of war, esti.-
tuned by the Insurgeoti of Cunha ens, which-lately
entered New Orleans under the ffiw ot those allies.
I also might have been able to paralse me Expedi-
tions formed against your Xtrigtl,,m by the New Or-
'leans Rebels; belt the same 11300731 frustrated my

seal and all may exertibas in favour of the tranquillity
of your valuable kingdom!: I do mot spetify to your
Excellency more cues of a similar nature, not to
trouble you any further, but they are innumerable;
and the bitter recollection of the service suffering for
the want of fonds. now (11s me with grief. I thefts
fore solicit your Excellency to do every thing in your
power to send me some funds, with all the haste and
urgency my situation requires, and that you would
be pleased to aUow the Commissioner I seat you
three years ago to be the bearer of them, viz. Don
Felipe Fatio, to whom please to pay over all the
arrears due to this Office.—Coto preserve yolk
Excellency many years, &c. &c. &c.

the Circular to which we alluded yesterday, and
whiel was improperly called a Warrant, is in fact a
recommendation to persons holding of the salaries
of which exceed £l,OOO a•year, to contribute 10 per
cent. towards the public exigencies. It bears date the
Slit of March, was addressed to the Public •Depart-.
mints, and enclosed the clause added to the liamt
Act by the Committee of the House of Cdmracniu
It states that the Lords of the Treasury intend huh- '
oidially to Vail themselves of the opportunity af=
forded by the clause, of contributing to the public
service ten per cent. upon their salaries and emoita-
ments, and to direct the like deduction to be made
from the Officers and Clerks in the Treasury, whose
income from their situation amount to 1111,000 and up-
wards, and Who are willing to follow their Lordships•
example. The Circular further desires the Heads of
Departments to communicate the contents to tke per-
sons under them receiving not less than one thousand
pounds per annum, and to report those who are anxi-
ous to contribute in the above ratio to the public,
service.

We cannot divine why souse of our contemporaries
should tans np their noses at this proposal. One day
they cry out about the great public expenditure, and
when Ministers thew a disposition to reduce it, and
set the example by lessening their own salaries, then
they cry out es meanness 1"—" paltry savings 1"•••
useleu parsimony 17

We assert that the recommendation Is a proper
one. We go farther and say, it should be enforced.
These men do not now pay the Tax on Income; and
the residue they would receive without any of therie-
duetions to which the distresses of the times have
subjected the incomes of the -other members of the
community, from whom these very salaries are drawn.

By the latest accounts that have reached thie coun-
try from Canton, there were, when the vesiel which

be t By smuggling in the Channel, and by massing
the rest of their cargoes from the Continental Ports.
Let not the Reader—let not Ministers imagine,
that we are starting a merely possible case. Oar infor-
mation maybe relied on. All of these cargoes are in-
tended for the British Market, and even much Eng.
lish capital, is embarked in these speculations.—lt
is not long since the Captain of a vessel of the same
description wrote to a friend in London—se lam now

English Channel. your Ministers, have not reduced
the duties, but little of my cargo will be landed these,
and my fortune will be made."—This vessefhas since
passed up the Channel, and the Captain alluded to
has informed his friend that he cleared *60,000 for
his own share by the voyage.
The fact we have stated speaks• a volume. 0 that
Ministers could instantly be induced to act upon it!
They could, by use blew, ninon the rivals who have
built their speculation on the high duties charged on
teas in England. Let Ministers recollect, that every
farthing of gains thus pocketed by foreigners, from
English consumption, is eventually lost to the me-
lb* of the country—that is, to the revenue itself,
with, a sent besides which may be estimated at tiler
cent. more for the outfit, &c. in foreign ports.

WEST INDIES.
Oa Wednesday we noticed a misunderstanding
which exists between the Governor and Colonial As.
thosities in a Transatlantic Dependency. We now
add some other particulars

It was the sword warrant of arrest issued by the
Colonial Legislature. which the King's Attorney-
General of the Settlements so triumphantly resisted.
His person had been seized. and be was imprisoned
for a day and night under a previous warrant which
came upon him unawares. On this arafeictition,,
the Governor sent an order to the gaoler' to iet his.
prisoner at liberty: the gaoler demurred I but the.
Governor wan resolute. and sent a military force to
release the captive. The gaoler, rather than stand a
regular siege, with a lawyer within doors. and in
army outside, prudently capitulated, and delivered
up the object of contention. The Attorney-General
,then milted to his plantain to tofu* his weary
