11 One of them, called the Revenge, gelled from
Carthagena on the 2d ult. anchored off Old Provi-
dence, hoisting English colours, and the Cllll9 went
ashore, and remained with the inhabitants fora few
days, when, after gaining every requisite informa.
tion, they laid the inhabitants under contribution,
took away all the plate, money, &c. and 115 Mt:
' groes, 'hoisted American colours, and went off. A,
fen days afterwards, she returned, as& sent of
shore 60 armed men, who compelled the lohabitaste
by threats, to lay open their stores and !lollies to ther
discriminate plunder, and they also seized a schommi!
at anchor, loaded her with cotton, and other spoil,
and then proceeded to Carthagena,' where they -aro,
fired in safety on the 17th of March.
In consequence of the piratical conduct of the
above-mentioned privateer, the Governor of Porto
Bello solicited Capt. Forest, of the Cy' ttne frigate, to
take under his convoy three schooners, with troops on
board, for the purpose of protecting the inhabitants
of St. Andrews from similar acts of brigandage; with
which he complied, and sailed from Porto Bello with'
them on the 20th of April: he was arterwitas to re.
iturn to that pert, to receive on board spede--00pwards
of one million of dollars being ready to bor shtpped

cavalry, and artillery entered the city, the command
of which was given, for the present, to Colonel Von 1

again retired to Alton*. The French Authorities I

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS, IvNE 12.

The Bills on the table were forwarded 'a stage ;
and several Bills, chiefly private, were brought up
from the Commons.

The House of Assembly, Jamaica, met oh the 27th
of April for the transaction of business.
The House of Assembly of Antigua was, in April,
abruptly dissolved by the Captain-General, in con-
sequence of a disagreement between the members re-
lative to voting the supplies.
The St. Vincent Papers of April state, on the sub.
ject of the volcano, that the ridge which separated the
old from the new crater is wearing fast away ; so that
in a short time it is expected the two craters will be
united, forming the largest aperture for the escape of
volcanic fire in the world.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The Report of the Committee of Ways and Means
was brought up, when, on the motion of the CHAN-
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the Resolution
respecting the Loan of 27 millions was agreed to,
and leave given to bring in a Bill to carry the same
into effect. The other Resolutions were postponed
till Monday.
The Irish Cotton Weavers' Bill was read a second
time and committed for Monday.
The Excise Bill was read a third time and passed.
On the motion of Mr. CROKER, the Bill for the
Encouragement of Seamen was read a second time
and committed.

The Spanish armed ship Le Reyna de los Angelo.
arrived at Panama in March last with upwards of one
million of dollars from San Bias, California, the
greatest part of which it was expected would be
shipped for Jamaica.
A lamentable circumstance took place at Ardsheal
Pen, near Morant Bay, Jamaica, on the 12th of
April :—Mr. Phillips, the proprietor of that place,
had a few neighbours with him, among whom was
Mr. Joseph Irving, with whom Mr. Phillips had
some dispute, during waich the '6 lie direct" was
given, and at length they came to blows. Mr.
Irving ran out of the house, and Mr. Phillips follow~
ed him ; but before the rest of the party could reach
them, he had run Irving through the body with a
sword. An inquest was held on the body, when
the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against
Joseph Phillips, for whose apprehension the Coroner
has offered a reward of 1001. Phillips is a Jew.
Specie is very scarce in the West India Islands,
and many advertisers in the cologial_papers, who are
compelled to make remittances to this country, offer
for it a premium of from 8 to 10 per cent.

The Windsor Forest Bill was read a second time
and committed to a Select Committee, with all Mem-
bers who attend to have voices.

Mr. WHITBREAD, not seeing a Noble Lord
(Castlereagh) in his place, wished to know from any
of the colleagues of that Noble Lord, if it would•'.
be convenient for him to postpone the discussion of
the Swedish Treaty from Wednesday to Friday, as
such an arrangement was requested by several Mem-
bers who were desirous of being present when this
subject came under the consideration of the House.—
If no Hon. Gentleman was prepared to answer him
on this point, he trusted they would communicate
to the Noble Lord the wish that had been expressed.

That in the last unquiet weeks great numbers' of
the peaceable inhabitants have left the city, or at
least sent away their families. from it, is natural to
suppose; but it is not to be 'doobted, that when
peace and quiet are become thoroughly testored, at
least. the greater part eCtisem Will return again, Ham'
burgh having, in this short time; lost, perhaps one.,
fourth part of its inhabitants.
It is said that some bloody engagements hare since
taken place in the vicinity of Bergedorff, betsiqoa the
retiring Russians and advancing French.
His Royal Majesty has appointed Lieut.-Colonel
d'Aubert to be Commandant of our City.
On the 30th May, the Prefecture of the Police at
Hamburgh (Breteuil) issued an order, Commanding
all the inhabkants of Hamburgh to deliver up, within
U hours, all the arms and warlike ammunition of
every description.
COPENHAGEN, JllNiie—sPrifitse Christian Frede-
rick, on the Ist of, last month; landed at Hvaldunen;
in Nerway;*from whence he proceeded in a row-boat
to Prederickstadt, and thence on the *Ad in thief.",
ternoon to Christiani.

`Mr. WHARTON said he could not take upon
himself to enter into any arrangement for Lord Cas-
tlereagh, to whom, however, he would state what
bad rallpn from the lion. Gentleman.

After some further routine business, the House
adjourned.

LISBON MAIL.

LISBON, MAY 20.—Sir Thomas Graham has un.l
der him at Braganza the Ist, 3d, sth, 6th, and 7th
divisions, with a proportionate force of cavalry, and
a heavy battering train, which had been landed at
Construe.
Lord Wellington has the 4th and light divisions,
the hussar brigade, consisting of the 10th, 15th,
and 16th hussars, and the household troops.
General Hill has the 2d division, 7000 (British)
strong, and forms Lord Wellington's right.
Lord Wellington entered Mantilla, near Salaman-
ca, on the 25th ; General Hill being on his right
and in advance. The French had an advance two
leagues from Mantilla, on the evening of the 24th,
and 3,000 men in Salamanca. Our expectations are
great here ; since the commencement of the Peninen-
lar war, our army never was so strong, nor in such
excellent order.
MAY 28.—1 t is thought the 3d Spanish army will
march upon Valencia, whilst the reserve, undtat Gen.
O'Donnell, enters Mad Cd.
The Spanish army of Gallicia, which, it is said,
is'composed of 14,000 infantry, is at present in At.
torga, forming the left of the five English divisions
which have passed the Douro. The whole will
form a junction on the 21th or 25th inst. in Bram.
za and its neighbourhood, with-the .i.toiaps under tba.
command of General Graham. Gen. Hill marches
on the right, by the road of Alva de Terme%
whilst Lord Wellington, with the light division,
proceeds by the centre. We expect, that before the
Bth of June, the whole Combined Army will be
united in Valladolid.
The head- uarters of Lord Wellington were on
the 21th in lamarei, five leagues in advance of Ciu-
dad Rodrigo. •
General Cotton has ,00risod is this -capital from
,TALN, MIY 10.—The third army occupies the
fallowing positions:—
. First division in Villahermosa—second, in Al-
Wel and its neighbourhood—the cavalry upon the
Gaudiana—head.tparters in Infante:.
The vandals Valdemoro and. Madrid are in
number 11iX10 infantry, with 3000 cavalry, and 12
piece* of artillery.

LONDON:

motEDAy, join' U, 11113:

In the STATESMAN of Saturday evening we ex-
pressed our disapprobation of the Swedish Treaty.
•
Upon that fruitful, topic we have much to ouservet
but so numerous are the objections that apply to
each of its leading features, that we really know
not with which to begin; but as the CESSION of
NORWAY, which we had not conquered nor invaded,,
'is the most protninent,es well as the most ofteeefues:;
"of, those features, with that will we commence ottr,l
second series of reflections.
Admitting the co-operation of Sweden in Get• 7
Viet to be. Pinatid. to the.-general 4124414, a
could not .have been prbcured without some ter*.
torial bribe, our Ministers were justiciable in a
tempting to procure it. Had they been, what they.
never were, and,never Isere intended to be, STATE~
MEN—they would have looked for this bribe in Fin!
lameol—They would have said to A LexANsisa", "yo,
bad no legitimate cause, of war against, Sweden in
1808—you disclaimed all motives of ambition,' and.
were driven by French influence to the invelloh
of that province, because GUSTAVUS ADOLPIRISPi
your brother-in-law, would not declare against us,
and join the Continental System. You no*
in need of the military power of Sweden, and tip.
naval power of Great Britain, to &Mils the first"(
these objects, and justify the second—restore IN-
land to
Sweden. It is incompatible with. your -
in-
terest and with - principldi

Two Heligoland Mails were received this morn-
ing, bringing Altona Mercuries to the 4th 1111110.—
From the intelligence through this conveyance wa 1
are'sufficiently apprized of what before was covered
with considerable obscurity. Flags. of trace and
communications, it seems, passed backwarcie 'sad
forwards between the Commanders of* Danish'
and French armies, before the latter took absolute•
possession of Hamburgh. We are glad, however,
to see, by the nature of the. interference of the
Danes, that the Otter were interested in the peace
of the inhabitants and the preservation of this town.
Their agreeing temporarily to guard it, and volun-
tarily, to quit it again, must be imputed to that de-
sire.
By the brief article respecting the movalltillivalli
the Prince of DEN stAax., in _Norway, we eleirwey
another mil, Wry drama is opening to the view of i
Europe. Two such new performers as the Caowa
'PRINCES of the ancient kingdoms of Denmark and
Sweden cannot fail, to draw numerous spectators to
witness their debut. 1
The following extracts are taken from the Mails
which arrived this morning :

That could be brought against it ; whence an exten.
siva traffic could be carried on with ordes;il.e
coasts from St. Petersburgh to Ramburgh,
sacs of all the•ddeaciess of Enrol*. This should
lore been the path pursued by Miaistem—it, was
tined and straight, and led to utnhing hut good and
wholesome consequences : the guarantee of . Norway
to Sweden should never have, been admitted, roes
into disautian.
This .eventful. 'treaty is fraught with tbe,most for-
midable obstacles to a general peace, and promise" to'
be no less fertile in the production of future tsars.—
By agreeing to join Russia and Swtiden in the spoil.
ation of Denmark, we cut tho last ligature that
might, by i contrary conduct, have once more drawn
that honourable and ill-troated,nation to our bosom.
We have placed Denmark in an attitude scarcely to
i be paralleled : by the manner, no less than the in.
justice, of the attack on Copenhagen, in 1807, we
drove our old Ally into the vortex of a destructive war,
file of which it was our interest to have preserved
er. W. felt her enmity, and !sorted for car unprlo-
dOed conduct. Denmark, after aliassion winter had
destroyed the armies of BoNspAaTa, manifested un-!'
equivocal signs of a relenting policy. She ceased to
attack our vessels—sent her ablest Statesman to Lon-
don, and actually shed her blood against France in
defence of liamburgh ! These actions were not
unseen nor unfelt by NAPOLEON—aware to what they
might have led, had our Ministers been Sr.srzsm•Av,
be will yet, perhaps, make Denmark feel his resent.
ment for those symptoms of, at least, a wavering po-
licy.

Whilst the Councils of cDenmerk were thus veer.
leg towards Great Britain—that able tactician, Bra.
asnorre, was playing off his deep and subtle game
at St. Petersburgh. It was there that the spoliation
of Denmark was agreed to—and our Ministers, as a
proof of our devotion to their cause, come in at the
close as a minor Power, and accede to that disgrace-
ful project!

To have smiled the interests of• all the Northern
Powers, and have directed the whole, mass against
the power of the enemy in Germany and Holland,
should have been our object.. The cession of Norway
was sure to split, and thereby destroy all hope of
deriving any assistance from either of the mino r
Powers.

of our very able Minkters abroad having signed

miler manners, for principlekthey have none ! added
Mockery to insult, at Denmark being once more
forced into the arms of France! It is scarcely pos.
sible that Denmark ever can be reconciled to us: as
little is it to be expected' she will be Able, by any
concessions, to appease the wrath of BONAPARTE!
Thence, there is too much cause to fear that Deo.'
mark may soon disappear fro* the list of indepen-
dent States! •

Had BONAPARTE himself dictated to ourvrepised
' Ministers the line of conduct most likely relvelve

only to lay's Copy of that precious Treaty before his
