mention that ti.e Exchange on London, which recently

Ii I% F'orsyth, the late American Minister at the Court
of Mad,id, hid jest returned to the United States,
but no reason is riven for his having quitted the Spa-

was con:ward with some misunderstanding which has
arisen between the Government of Spain acd that of
the United States, relative to the recognition of the
independence of South America by the letter.
A,lvices have been received from the city of Santo
Domingo. dated flay 7, mentioning that every thing

emigrating to the Main and Puerto Rico, being unable
to brook the dominion of a. Black Government, and
the irregularities of its commanders and troops. The
dirties on imports and exports had been augmented to
bit per cent. anti the cutting of mahogany prohibited.
Extract of a Irter from Pernambuco, dated 16th
May. 1822:—" We have been very doll in business.
but the place has remained perfectly quiet, as regards!

of a most conciliatory nature towards this country—
granting it all the immunities of a free nation, with
leave to govern itself, having the Prince at its head,
who, it is now determined, shall remain here. In re-
torn, the Cones expects some favearable commercial
regulations, and expects an export duty of 10 per

with the establishment of some principle for the adjust-

Anderson he is charged as a go-between: by Greville,
as a meddling little man; and by his wife as a false

mind of an audience in a state of agreeable activity.

Gregory, delivered on the 6th alt. contains the fol-

Sixty-nine patients labouring under the Casual Small-
pox have been admitted between the Ist January and
Mb June, 1822. Of these 33 have had the disease in a
severe, and 34 in a mild form. Forty-four have been
discharged cured; IS have died, and 7 remain under
treatment. The proportion of admission,. of severe
cases, and deaths, is nearly the same as that of the two
preceding years; and it thews that, although Small-pox
has not been particularly prevalent in the Metropolis, it
has yet loot nothing of its malignity; and that the same
necessity exists DOW as formerly, for those measures of
prevention and relief (Vaccination), which is the hu-
mane design of your Institution to provide."
