NoRFoLK, August 90.
On Saturday, arrived here the Il. schoon
erSwift, capt. Young, Is days from St. Croix,
from whom we have derived the following
important information.
On the first of August. O vessel arrived a.
St Crox from La Guir,, by whom adviccs
were received, which stated, that on the 10th
of July, the French government brig lac Ser
pent of 10 guns, aud ITO men, arrived at
La Guira, with the information that the
throne of Spain had been abdicated by King
Charles and Ferdinand, in favour of the EN-
peror of France. Orders were delivered to
the governor of Caracas from the dethron-
ed kings and from the French emperor, to
acknowledge Josehh Bonoharte for their
ia7y5ui sovereign, as The EMPEROR had nam
ed him king Of Stain. This information eX-
cited the deepest concern, which was dispeil-
ed on the following day by the arrival ofthe
British frigate, Acasto, capt. Beaver, dis
patched from Barbados, by admiral Coch-
rane, with the determination & proceedings
Of the Supreme Council at Seville. The u
Unanimous resolution vas to adhere to the
Council of Seville. The French officers fed
in haste from the city of Caracas to La
Gura and got on board the lie Serpent, with
intention to proceed to sea, but they were
stopped by the Acasto who made prize OF the
vessel.
The resentment of the people against the
French was so great, that the commandant
could with difficulty protect about 40 French
soldiers, that remained of the party that was
sent by Gen Ernouf from Guadalupe at the
time Of Miranda's threatened invasion.
The British sloop of war Lark, arrived at
Laguira on the goth of July from Curacao,
but the object for which she had been dis
patched was anticipatedby the arrival OF the
Acasto.
A flag Of truce arrived at ST. Thomas from
Porto Rico, in which island the measures
ofthe council of Seville were obeyed.
The following proclamation, issued by the
governor of that island has been translated
for the dger..."Lehger.
