TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 13, 1823.

A Dutch Mail has arrived this morning, but it brings
no intelligence of importance. At Berlin, it appears,
disputes have broken out among the Jews there, respect-

ing the form of divine service, in consequence of which
the new Temple was closed, and several law-suits have
taken place. From Bale, we learn that Mr. Vaughan,
Istely appointed Minister from England to the Helvetic
Confederition, arrived at Berne on the 20th ult.

We Lave this morning received American papers to
the 171 h of April, from which we extract the following;
—Boyer, President of Hayti, has issued a Proclama-
tion. dated 20Ih March, prohibiting from the Ist May
next, all relations and intercourse by merchant ves.els
belonging to individuals, between Hayti and the differ-
ent islands of Archipelago, to the windward and the
Leward.

LA OUlRA.—Captain Laurence, of the schooner Sub-1
lett•, informs us that all goods imported from Old Spain
in 60 days after bis sailing, would be confiscated. Com-
madore Daniels arrived on the Ist March. Bolivar was
on his way to Caraccas.
From Vera Cruz, Feb. 22.—0 n the 21st ult. a fleet
of 7 sail of barges, and a brig and schooner sailed from
the Island of Sacrifice, for Tampisco, with about 300
troops, commanded by St. Anna in person. It is su, -
posed their object was to intercept the shipment of a
large sum of money from Mexico.
Captain Lee,from Trinidad, informs us that a piratical
brig from Havanna, wi,ll 156 men, took possession of
the Fort at Nenvitas, and burnt every thing it contained.
They also cut two American schooners out of the har-
bour, and the crews were no doubt murdered. The
Coast swarms with Pirates. The British sloop of war
Thames, and an armed schooner had touched at Trinidad,
and Railed to the leeward.

From the Baltimore Patriot, April 10th.—We have
just received the following authentic end important in-
telligence :
Max ico, Pen. 23.—0 n the 18th instant, an Express
arrived here from the mountains, stating that Bravo had
taken possession of Ouernaraca, with a force of 3,000
men. His Imperial Majesty summoned all his forces in
this city and vicinity, amounting to about 1600 infantry
and cavalry, and placed himself at their head. He, not
eager to court a battle, has taken a position 10 leagues
from this ; since which he has experienced a desertion of
200 men, with 14 pieces of cannon, and 70,000 cartridges.
While I am writing, a friend has come to inform me,
that the Fmperor having had his Council of State yester_
day, at his encampment, dehatinf on the necessary steps
to be taken to secure to him his Throne, came to the de.
termination of retiring until Congiess would re-assem-
ble and decide on his fate. A new Secretary has been
chosen, named Valle, and several new officers. Thus we
are at present without a Government. All the prisoners
were released last night by the soldiers.

Paris papers to the 11th instant have come to hand.
The Monitcur announces the following

" Briviesci, May 7, 24 r. N.
" THE MAJOR•OENBRAL TO THE MINISTER OP WAR.

"The head-quarters of his Royal Highness the Duke of
Angouleme hal just arrived. The enthusiasm of the Spa-
niards increases more and more."

In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, on Fri.
day, the Minister of the Interior presented a Prociams.
lion from the King, ordaining the closing of the Session
of both Chambers. The Deputies initatitently dispersed
amid cries of" Viue le Rol!"

These papers contain accounts from Seville to the 27th
nit. On the 23d the Deputies having arrived in suffici-
ent numbers for transacting business, the session of the
Extraordinary Cortes was resumed, when the President
addressed the Assembly on the removal of the sittings
from Madrid to Seville. " Amidst thousands of obsta-
cles," said he, " and in spite of those who have raised
them up againgst us, we have just given to al
. Europe a further example, calculated to undeceive
it, by removing with calm deliberation from the
Dania of ,tbe Meozanares, so fertile in heroic
virtues, to the vast and delicious plains of Guadalqui►ir,
whither we have, with the assistance of the wo,thy Ge-
neral who accompanied us, awl those brave Spaniards
whose courage and discipline merit eternal praise, ton-
ducted liberty, as it were, in triumph.—lfere," continued
lie, "we will fearlessly await those propositions which
never yet have been made, but the making of which has
been feigned to seduce the weak ard the inconsiderate.
We repeat that in framing our Constitution, we never
meant to leave it exposed to all the fluctuations of ca-
price, nor pretended to confer on it an unchangeableness
—an eternity, which belongs not to human things ; but
that, when it shall be convenient for the nation so to do,
we will consider, according to fixed and precise forms,
the alterations which time and experience may render
necessary; and that we will not permit any other power
on earth to arrogate to itself a sort of initiative which
confounds and subverts the most sacred rights." After
some further observations he concluded with declaring
