The following Letter from the Havannah, of the
26th June, gives another, version of the Governor's
reception of the American cartel with the late Go•
vernor and suite :

" HAVANNAH, JUNI ss:

te This moment a small American schooner with
a lag of truce, has arrived from Pensacola, bearing
the late Governor and suite. Our Governor has in-
formed her that she will be admitted under her na-
tional flag, but does not acknowledge the truce. As
might be expected, some little sensation and animo-
sky bursts forth among the individuals, but no hostile
measures are noticed in the Government, which I am
happy to inform you, lest apprehension might be en-.
tertained relative to the safety of American property
in this place. Business at this moment is somewhat
stagnant."

A Mail from Jamaica has brought us today papers
and letters to the 21st of June.

The Royal Gazette of the 13th of June states, that
intelligence had been received there of the complete
failure of the attempt• (of which our Readers have
seen some indistinct notices) made by an Independent
squadron on the settlement of Samana, on the coast oi
St. Domingo. The squadron consisted of seven ves-
sels, .but was repulsed with considerable loss.—
Several boats employed in the landing of troops
were sunk, and a number of men were killed, wound-
ed, and taken prisoners. The grounds and object of
this attack are not yet explained ; nor under what
particular Republican authority the squadron acted.
The Bay of-Sumana, as we learn from THOMSON'S
Alcedo, has the advantage,' in consequence of lying
on the windward side •of St. Domingo, over every
other place in the island as a maritime post, which
renders it capable of protecting the whole Gulf of
Mexico, to which it is in reality the key.
Accounts from the Spanish Main state, that Mr.

ROBERTSON, who had been empleyed.by the Ameri-
can Government in surveying land over the Main,
had been taken up as a spy, carried to Campearly,
and there imprisoned.

The Park Papers of Saturday arrived this morning.
The Earl of NVESTMORZLAND is stated to have had
on Thursday along audience cf the KING. Five per

our Private Lettor :

" PARIS, JULY 30.

" It would seem that the appearance of General
Carmel at the Tribunal, which has excited such asto-
nishment, and so many conjectures, after the xeig.l•!.y
reasons given by him for his absence, is simply an
act of folly of his party, which knows not any other
line of conduct. Every thing proves that the Gene.,
ral, who understands affairs better, notwithstanding
his political threats, took flight from fear, on learn-
ing the arrest of M. de Songy ; and that he had no
intention of returning so soon. He thought, very
properly, that it would be much easier to make war
at a distance. Some one of his, party holding the pen,
the only formidable weapon of the ultra military,
every morning w:ould have hatched a pamphlet, in
which, as in the affair of Lyons, speaking of himself
with audacity and vain boasting, of his enemies with
abuse and contempt ; giving the lie direct to the facts!
and proufs brought forward by his adversaries; pro•'
miring justificatory documents ; rousing the passions,
and setting all France together by the ears, he would
have succeeded in imposing on fools, and in confusing,
the :u air, a hich could not fail to be cleared up the
moment the evidence was produced; and thus ren-
der doubtful even the clearest facts; so that the odi-
ous trials, to which all France looks forward with so
much impatience, would have produced no satisfac-
tory result on the public mind.
,"I'ltc• evil genius of the party has once more, hap-
pily for the cause of truth, led her votaries into a
snare. The ill-advised friends of Cannel, it is said,
went to him in his retreat —' What are you doing ;' I
said they, By this conduct you ruin yourself and
us. Why do you give such hold to our enemies?
Let them say what they will ; we are certain that
they know nothing, that they have discovered no-
thing ; take courage then, appear.' Cannel suffered
himself to be led away—came and made a bravado
before the Court—you know the rest. Justice, which
prefers a few minutes examination at the bar to the
whole artillery of cabinet literary leisure, has clap-
ped her paw upon the General ; all will now be
cleared up.

s, The marriage of the Minister of Police, the
Count de Cazes, with Mademoiselle de St. Aulaire,
is said to be fixed for the 15th of August, her father
being returned to Paris, after making all the arrange-
ments with the King of Denmark and other Sove-
reigns, for the future dignity of his daughter and
son-in-law. This news delights the Constitutionalists
as much as it displeases the Ultras. What adds no
little to the mortification of the latter is, that the
Duchess of Brunswick is arrived at Paris, to be pre-
sent at the ceremony. These Gentlemen cannot con-
ceive how so great a Lady, a Sovereign Princess,
would condescend to take a journey to Paris to attend
at the marriage. Nothing can be more comic than
the complaints of those Gentlemen, who declare that
it is time to despair of the good cause, since all the
Princes of Europe ceignent le domed rouge; for, with
them, whoever is not Ultra Royalist must be a Jaco-
bin they do not even suspect that there can be such

a thing as rational constitutional liberty ; and as they
have no idea of it, the people will, we are persua-
ded, never think of investing them with power, in
the hope that they will then go to school to learn how
to govern according to law."

We have received by a Mail from Hamburgh this
forenoon, Papers to the 29th of July.—The only ar-
ticles of interest they contain relate to the affairs of
Sweden. The remains of the late QUEEN were on
the 16th ult. solemnly interred in the Ritterholms
Church.—The Swedish Diet has resolved, that every
Norwegian shall enjoy the rights of a native subject
in Sweden, from the moment that his petition to that
effect has been presented to the K INC, and a hope is
expressed that there will be an equitable reciprocity
on the part of the Norwegian Storthing.—lt was ex-
pected that the KING would in person close the Sit-
tings of the Storthing on the 31st of last month.

Yesterday, at two o'clock, the PRI:CCE Rzertrt held
a Court at,Carlton House, at which the Swedish
Minister attended, who was introduced to his Royal
Highness by Lord Viscount CA STL ER EACH, and con-
ducted by Sir ROBERT CHESTER, the Master of tl.c
Ceremonies. His Excellency had the honour cf an
audience of the RIXIIINT, when he delivered a letter,
and was most4macionsly received. His Royal High-
ness held a Privy Council, which was attended by
The Lord Chancellor, the Fire Lord of the Treasury, the
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the First Lord of 'he
Admiralty, the Master of the Mint, the Speaker of the House
of Commons, the Judge Advocate, &c
Viscount CIiIETWYND attended as Clerk to the Council.

The R EGPST gave audiences to the Duke of YORK
and Viscount CASTLEREAGH. Sunday afternoon his
Royal Highness gave a long audience to the Duke
of WELLINGTON and Mr. WELLESLEY POLE.
Captain KATER has been appointed by the Board
of Longitude to measure the length of the seconds
pendulum at the Shetland Islands. The expedi-
tion originated with his Majesty's Ministers, who
have in the most liberal manner provided the
finest instruments, and every thing that is neces-
sary to promote the object which it has in view.
Captain KATER, accompanied by Lieutenant FRANK,
of the Navy, arrived in Edinburgh on the 27th
of June, and set off for Shetland on the Ist of
July, in the Nimrod sloop of Nvar, commanded by
Captain DARLING. After measuring the length of
the pendulum at Uist, Captain KATER proposes
if the weather is favourable, to go as far as the North
Cape in Norway, with the view of determining the;
length of the pendulum in the latitude of 70 degrees,
or 71 degrees, and to repeat the same measurements
in Norway in the latitude 0f66 degrees, or 66 degrees.
lie then returns to the trigonometrical survey at
Cowhithe, near Banff ; and having determined the
length of the pendulum there, he performs the
same experiments at Leith Fort, Clifton, Arbury
Hill, and Dunnose. If the weather shall prove
favourable, so as to ailow Captain KATER to make
his observations in Norway, we shall have a series of
results of the greatest importance in the determina-
tion of the true figure of the earth.
Extract of a letter from New Orleans, dated Sd
June, ISIS:—" An official communication has been
rneived at the Custom House here from-the Treasury
at Washington, stating that there will be no obstruc •
tion to the admission of specie into America from the
British West India Island-. after the 50th September
next in vessels of war. Those, therefore, who wish
to lodge funds here may avail themselves of such :

It rail be gratifying to the friends of humanity to
learn, t':at the plan now before the Legislature for
suspending the necessity of employing climbing•boys
in cleaning chimnies, by the use of SMART'S machine,
has been adopted in Pennsylvania with complete suc-
cess. The following, is an extract of a letter on this
subject, lately received by Mr. MILIAN, DELL WYN,
of Walthamstow, fr.:m Mr. I:or.Enr VAUX, of Phi-
ladelpllia :
" The substkution of Smart's (Lund,-c) machine for sweep-
ing chimnies, for clitnbing-boys. is another benevolent contriv-
ance for which we are hide:stet' to you ; and I take plcuure in
assuring thee of its 'introduction here with every prospect of
soon removing from this employment to better service those un-
fortunate and unpitied little black children who have so lung
excited the uotice of come of our citizens, travelling our streets
in tattered garments during the most severe weather of our
climate."

By letters received from Nova Scotia, it appears
also that Lord DAIIIOI7SIE, the Governor, has issued
orders for bringing the machine into general use
in that colony. "Jr.: Simrsort, the Superintendant
of the chimney-swecpeis at Halifax, having reported
to his Excellency that, after four months' continued
use of the machine, he is induced to adopt it in pre-
ference to the former mode, convinced by practice of
its utility, and that it is competent to perform every
thing essential in the cleaning of chimnies.
Thursday, rather a novel sight attracted the atten-
Aim of many of the inhabitants of Gloucester, no-
thing less than a youthful couple (the gentleman not
21, and the lady only 16,) making the best of their
way to the Blacksmith's lodge, at Gretnaireen.
They arrived about ten o'clock, and incautiously
waited breakfast, but had the start of papa, who.
with two legal assistants, pist,ls, &c. came into town
at eleven, and immediately proceeded on the North-
road ; near Kidderminster he came in view of the
fugitives, and ultimately overtook them, when die
capture was made; and, about eleven at night, the
pretty dears were brought to Gloucester on their re-
turn to the neighbourhood of Taunton, there to meet
the frowns of mama and two maiden aunts.—Delight-
!u! Misery !
Friday night the house of Mr.WILLIAM MARMOT,
farmer, of Preston Deanery, near Worthington, was
broken open by a gang of robbers, about nine o'clock
in the evening, and robbed of plate, money, wearing
apparel; &c. to a large amount. Mr. MARMOT was
severely cut on the head, while one of the gang re-
peatedly cried out kill him, kill him." Informa-
tion being given a general pursuit was made, and
the whole patty were taken on Saturday afternoon,
fully identified, and conveyed to Northampton jail,
amidst the loudest execrations of the inhabitants, to
whom they have long been a terror. One of the party
is William Minard, who left his hat at Mr. MAR-
mot's, and his name being in it, gave the clue.
