ed at this port yesterday from Falmouth,
from whence she sailed On the 8tb of June
Capt. S. has very politely favoureA the Editor
of the MERcANrtLE ADVERTISER with a
regular file of London papers to the first OF
that month, our present selections from which
are so comprehensive (comprisiBg every va
liable article they contain) as tsieave nothing
TO add but what has been communicated to US
verbally.
!, Captain S. informs that few days before
he sailed, about 10000 Of the inhabitants Of
Yorkshire. principally weavers, had assem-
bled in q tumultuous manner on account OF
the high price Of provisions, and to demand
an increase Of wages. The troops in the
barracks and in the town were employed to
quell the riot. and the people at length dis
perscd, but not until several OF them had
been Eilled by the military. II was said,
also, that &C, 900 looms in Manchester and
Its neighbourhood were without employment
A small vessel arrived at Falmouth about
5th of June from Bilboa, having on board three
Spanish deputies who had come to solicit as
sistance in arms and cloathing from the Bri-
tish government, in consequence of the revo-
luton. They reported that every French
man found in the province of Biscay had
been massacred.
No detained property had been condemn
ed in any part Of France.
Captain S. is the bearer OF dispatches from
Mr.. Pinkncy TO the Secretary of State.
LoKpoH, May Is.
i. Letters from Holland, dated the 9th inst.
have been received. They confirm the pre-
vioss intelligence relative to the restrictions
upon American commerce by the French go
yernment.. The following official notice con-
tains the substance of the Decree issued at
Bayonne. 1t is strongly indicative of rup-
ture between France and the United States.
The account ordered to be taken of the A
merican vessels is, We presume, with view
to ultimate conhcation. The charge of ha-
wing violated the embargo cannot apply in
this instance, as that measure only took place
nine days before the period from which the
account is ordered to be taken:-

''And further, there shall be sent to the

vessels which have entered our ports since

Further accounts, we understand, have
been received from Spain. According to
these, the possession of the throne has been
confirmed TO King Ferdinand by Bonaparte
The denosed monarch has been persuaded &c
withdraw his protest, and to make formal
transfer ofthe regal authority. The new So
vereign has entered into treaty with France
to the effect we have already stated. There
are number of secret articles, which are
supposed principally to relate to the marri-
age of king Ferdinand. and the future dispo-
sal of Portugal it is said, has also
stipulated for settlement in the Spanish CO.
lohies in South America.
Bonoparte has created general Junot Mar
guis Of Abrantes.
BY gentleman who reached town on Sa.
turday, from Bordeaux, we have been favor
ed with the following anccdote The La
dy of General Moreau arrived in that city,
from America, in December last. No soon-
er had she set her foot on her native shore,
than the servile municipality put her under
arrest. This conduct passed as these gem
tlemen had calculated, perfectly agreeable
to Bonaparte, who Immediately confirmed
the arrest. His recent visit to Bordeauxwas
considered as favourable opportunity by the
Lady, for entreating her release. She ac-
Cordingly requested an interview but in vain.
His Imperial Majesty was memorable, and
she remains in confinement.
Of the seven American ships detained BY
the French privateer at Alicant, we learn
that three have been released, not from the
acknowledged illegally of their capture, but
because they have paid a sum of money to
the renegade who commands the privateer.
This fellow has had the presumption to oc-
cupy that station, during the last six months,
and to lay every defenceless neutral under
contribution.
