66 Respecting the policy of the United States taking
part with the Spanith American Colonies against the
Mother Country, the Georgia Journal remarks: The
ititetleret.ce of the Allied rowers between Spain and
Portugal, in consequence of the invasion by the latter
of part of the American possessions of the former,
chews what the United States might anticipate from
espousing the cause of the Spanish American Colo-
nies against the Mother Country. The probable re-'I
soft would be, the hostility of all Europe against us.'
64 It is well known that an expectation is enter-
tained in East Florida tnat a cession will be made by
Spain to the United States of that territory, as an
indemnity for
.spoliations. It is apparent tiorn the
anxiety manitested in the 111ficial piper at the seat of
Government, to prevent our citizens from partici-
, pacing in fkGregor's invasion, that our Cibinet cal-
culates on the same thing. Should this event take
'place, the United States coming in possession under
the Spanish title would, of course, recognise no other
and should M‘Gregor have effected the conquest of
the country, he would soon be ousted nut of his jells.

• The 14. h-clean private armed schooner Hotspur,
commanded by Lieut. Rapp, of the Uoited State);
navy. and owned in this city, has retuned from a
cruize in the Gull of Mexico. The Hotspur had a
very severe engagement near the Havanna, frith the
Cassidnre. Spanish Government brig (late the Chas.
sear of Baltimore), and was beaten ofF, with the lone
of 25 man killed, and ail her standing and running
rigging shot away. The Hotspur came to an anchoe
at the Balize, where she landed 16 of the wounded
officers and men, who were in a dreadful state. She
will have to proceed to Gaivestown to refit, the Spa.

In their last inroad, the several columns of the

were, at the same time. well guarded by infantry

jewels, to the amount of £1,000,000 sterling, to what

served by spits, they learn all the stations of our.

Pin MAresi T's AccISSION.--HolPay at the Batik, Exe!.quer,

anti South Sea IlmaNe.

His gracious MaJtes-ry this day completed the.s7:h
year of his reign. As customary, the Abbey, St.
Martin's, and St. Margaret's Bells were rung ; and
at one o'clock the Park and Tower Guns were fired.

It was currently repiirtcd in the City this morning
that the Duke of WELLINGTiIN had arrived in town.
We have not had time to ascertain the truth of the'
to port.

The Sate Tr;81::, at DLrby, have now terminated.
When the evi:lence against George it was
doled, Mr. Ctuss, in addressing the Jswy for the
prisoner, said he would no longer oppose the view of
t!.e law, as laid down by the Court, but entreated the
Jury to recommend this thooghleea sad misled young
man to the Royal Mercy, A verdict of Geilty was
returned by the Jury, accompanied by a strung re-
cs)mmeni!ati-n to mercy.
It was then intimated to the Counsel for the priso-
ners, that if the rerndn;ing criminals would withdraw
their plea of Not Guilty, mercy would be extended to
them. This was agreed to, and the Curt were to
meet this morning to close the trials, by adrOdying the
other prisoners to suffer some mitigated punishment.

It is now put beyond all doubt that the Rnssian
squiuir,,n from Revel Is, in the fret instance, destined
for Cadiz. A letter now before us horn Copt &lege%
dated the 11th inst. menticns, that Hilts had been
sent therce to navigate these ships through the Cat-
tegat into the North Sea, on its way to a avail's!)
port ; and a letter from Madrid, given below, mt n-
tions their ezpectation•ol its at riv el. This letter also
confirms what we have stated, that these ships be-
tome Spanish property by purchase, and adds, that
they 'ark not to he paid for in real cash, but by sow
excisatist —that is, by some cession of territory its one•
quatttr or another. Now this is one of the citcorn-
stances which we anticipated as puss,ble, and which,
as it may alter the rAative position of Rossia in re.
spect to our own, may demand some interference on
the part of our Government. A little time will pro-
bably throw some light on this subject.
