"SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 17, 1823.

Dutch and Hamburg tapers have reached us this
rooming, from the former of which we give the follow-
ing extract :
Baran*, DECEMBER §5, 1822.—8 y a communica-
tion from the Chief of the Dutch Commerce in Japan,
We arc enabled to publish the following important ac-

formation :-- -

The merchants still complain of the stagnation of
trade. The prices of all kilt& of colonial produce, have
azain declined, in consequence of the very small demand
acre has been for some months past.

the information io some of the latter is highly interest-

tag, as will spree in an extract.from one of them insert..
ed in another of our columns. . While the Ultras of Paris
- and of London pretend, that Mina has been forced into
• a I.byrintli of difficulties, and got entanglid in the
meshes of Money's net, it • appears to intelligent men
that the Spanish Commander has completely outwitted
the French. A presumptive proof this is the absence of
offirill advices from Moncry's army, and the silence of
the Afo:nitznr. It would appear that Mina's advance,
and the positions be Lae taken, iu the defiles of the Py-
ren •es, has prevented Moncey, at present, from having
any commuolication with France. In the absence of of-
ficial a4lviceA, private letters from Madrid to the Sib in-
stant, re.Tived yesterday, throw some light on the mi
lt-
• tatty dispositions of the Spaniards in the interior of the
Penivatila, and afford grounds for believing that Mina's
advance is not the result of individual enterprise, hut
part of a combined plan, which was to be kept carefully
secret until the moment of its execution, and which, ac-
cording to the writer, " would, if successful, make the
. Bourbons. tremble on their throne, or bury them under
its ruins." Su.:h a threat would seem to indicate that
the obj,mt was a !weal invasion of France, in order to
afford the p opts of that conntry a military nucleus,
ruled which they might form. The French exiles who,l
the courier supposes. were with Mina, and who have
rot been heard of lately, begin to occasion some uneasi•
nets to the Bourbonists. 1: seems some such enterprise
-easesAkiema.anticipateil by them, for the courier observes,
that the Durken d'Anglateme {as fit coadjutor to her
husband, in a political, if not a military capacity,]
has
taken up her residence at Bourdeanx, in order to check,
Ly ller popnlarity. any seditious movements in the South
of Franc.. Abisbal, who had been represented as hav-
ing assembled. an army of 16,000 n en, and advanced to
join Ballasteros, it appears, by the Madrid letters still
confinnes in that capital. Ile bad prevailed upon all who
are respectable in rank or wealth to leave it. and was en-
sleavouring to increase the number of emigrants. When
he does remove, it is probable it will be in the direction
anticipated, when the united armiei might maintain the
communications with Catalonia open, and if necessary,
!match into that province to
.support the operations of
Mina. The celebrated Empecinado was posted near
Avila with a strong Guerilla party, organizing other
corps of the same kind to harass the flanks of the Duke
of Angouleme as soon as the appointed time for acting
on the offensive on every point tbroughourthe Peninsu-
la. should arrive. Ballasteros is said to have ha I re-
peated skirmishing with the French during his retreat,
in which his tropps behaved with the greatest bravery
and resolution, and killed great numbers of the invaders.
Such are the contents of private communications from
the Spanish Capital, which remained tranquil notwith-
standing the threats of the approaching enemy. The Papers
informs us that the hea.bquarters of the Dake d'A ngouleme
were to remain at Burgos until the 18th inst. The Generalis-
simo may perhaps think proper to postpone his visit to
*Madrid till the result of Mina's enterprise u ascertained-
