We•mentioned yesterday the arrival of the Bedford
from Rio Janeiro. She has brought dispatches from
Lord STRAW:WOAD to the 25th of June, and a num-
ber of private letters to the same date. The latter
chiefly relate to mercantile apprehensions and specu-
ations, excited by the recent revolution in the settle-
ments on the River Plate.

The old restrictions upon foz eigri trade in these

colonies, it Was expected,_ would be annulled by
the new Government, and a more liberal system
adopted in their place. The Junta, it was under-
stood, had already transmitted some propositions to
Lord STRANk;kORD on the subject of a commercial
intercourse between these settlements and Great Bri-
tain.

The letters by the Lord Hobart packet are, from
Rio Janeiro of the 19th June, and from Pernambuco
of the 2d and 6th of last month. The accounts are,
on the whole, extremely favourable, as far as relates
to the future enterprises of commerce. High ex-
pectations were raised from the open trade to be ad-
mitted in the revolutionlzed colonies of Spaia ; and it
was supposed that the Treaty projected with Great
Britain, would in time open such a trade as would
put an end to the unfavourable state of things that
has hitherto prevailed.

His MAJESTY came to town yesterday, about 12
o'clock; he was received at the Queen's Palace by the
Dukes of KENT, SUSSEX, and CAMBRIDGE• His MA•
JESTY held a private Levee at two o'clock, at which
the following had the honour of being presented :
Lieutenant-General Lorvus, on his appointment to the Lieu-
tenantcy of the Tower.
Viscount GALWAY, on canting to his title.
Major-Geberal (kyr...rause., on his promotion, and at the
same time received the honour of knighthood.
Admiral YOUNG, upon his being appointed Admiral of the
White.

Major-General Ii•WA it Di and Lord Cammt s Tow N sawn, on
their promotion.
Brigadier-General WAx.ncs, on going on foreign service.
Sir JOHN SINCLAIR. on being appointed a Privy Counsellor.
Admiral Prrea Arian and Rear-Admiral Sir Jon rH Yo NNE,
on their promotion.
GOVRTNOT GORDON took leave of his Majesty previous to his

ment of that place.
His MAJESTY held a Privy Council, at which Sir
JOHN S/NCLAIR was introduced and sworn in a Mem-
ber.
MS MAJESTY gave audiences to Mr. PEnccv.ic and
the rest of the Cabinet Ministers present.
The Baron DE Kof.LI, the person arrested in France
in the attempt to carry off FERDINAND VII, is repor-
ted to be now in London. We think this a more ex-
traordinary escape than even that of General SARRA-
EIN, and which may give rise to some speculation.

German Papers received by the Clttenburgh Mail
of this morning state, that Lot :is, the late King of
Holland, was so indisposed at Toplitz as to hod unable
to leave his bed.

By letters from Trinidad of the 20th of July last,
we learn that the differences which existed between
the Juntas of Cumana and Venezuela, have been
adjusted and terminated in harmony and good under-'
standing.
By various Gazettes from Caraccas we learn also,
that the rest of the Provinces are acting in unison with
the Capital, except Coro, whose Deputies had not
arrived at that time to Caraccas.
Some dissentions relative to the new laws were ex-
isting at Trinidad at the time of the departure of the
vessel from that Island, which was about the 22d of
the same month.

The reinforcements and stores for our troops in the
Peninsula, which have been detained in port for some
time by contrary winds, have at length sailed from
Falmouth and Plymouth with a fine wind, and are
by this time well advanced on their voyage.

This morning, Mr. PINKNEY, the American Mini-
ster, received dispatches from General ARNISTRONC,
at Paris, brought by two American Gentlemen, who
arrived at Dartmouth on Monday evening, in the
Eliza cartel, Captain Mon VAN, from Morlaix.
In the preceding columns we have laid before our
Readers some Intercepted Correspondence of the
enemy, published by the Regency of Spain. It is
said to have been intercepted by ROMANA ; and that
it contained some circumstances which it would not
have been prudent for the Regency to disclose.
The LORD HOBART Packet, as we stated yesterday,
brought no intelligence so recent as the accounts re-
ceived by the TONNANT. But some of the letters
mention an attempt lately made to seize the person
of King JOSEPH, at his country seat, near Madrid,
and to carry him off, or kill him. We subjoin one
of these letters, but it will probably be some time be-
fore the particulars can be accurately known :

" CADIZ, AUGUST 3.
" The French who entered Cuenca, quitted it in two days, not
finding a living soul in the town ; they afterwards entered St. Cle-
mente, but the Junta had fled. The Guerrillas (flying parties) are
doing wonders latterly.
" We are assured that on the 7th of July, a party of 400 ca-
valry made an attempt to surprise Kin, Joseph at his country
seat near Madrid, whither he occasionally resorts to visit a there
wale.

" They killed the guard which was constantly kept there, but
they did not meet with flair r,bject ; the Usurper having gone
that night to the play, at the Culises del P►incipe. Informed of this,
they pursued their course to the Palace, where they cut down
the guards at the gate. They did the same to those whom they
found guarding the ',theatre. _ _

" This occasiontd an immediate uproar, and from the great
confusion that took place in the interior they were prevented from
passing to the boa where King Jsuph was seated; which gave
him au opportunity of escaping by a private door, to the main
guard, who defended him for a short time till he got off. The
gw: ale was then beaten, but before any considerable force was
collected from their quarters, the enterprising Spaniards were safe
out of Madrid."

Licences are no longer granted .by the Spanish.
Government for the exportation of silver. The Bri-
tish Minister, the Honourable HENRY WELLEst,Ev,
had offered to advance a million and a half of dol-
lars to supply the deficiency in the public Treasury,
one third of the amount in specie. and the remain-
der in bills of the Consul, Mr. Dt•FF, on London,
at the exchange of forty-five pence. To the lat-
ter the Regency declined acceding, on account of
the great disadvantage in the exchange ; and to
acquire the amount they assembled the Consulado,
when the-sum required was immediately contributed.
General BLAKE had taken his departure to assume
the command of the army of Murcia and Valencia.
If we may credit the accounts from Cadiz, the latest
particulars from South America are extremely favour-
able. Mexico is firm in its attachment to Old Spain ;
and the Havannah, depending on that country, will.
be obedient as lorig as the latter preserves its fidelity.
In Porto Rico the people were well affected. In
Coro and Maracaybo the authorities in the Spanish
interest were raising a military force to suppress the
insurrection in Caraccas, %there the Whites and the
Creoles are described to be iu a state of civil war..
