We learn verbally that for fourteen
days previous to the execution of the
Prince OF Peace, he was daily brought
out OF his prison, and exposed in the
public market place TO the insults and
derision OF the populace. IN the or
'ders respecting the con6scation of his
property he is designated only as Don
Manuel Godoy.
In consequence of the changes m
Madrid, the revolutionary bosom will
be exercised in AL the Spanish colo
MES. In most instances the principal
officers have been appointed by the
advice of the Prince OF Peace.
a letter from an American capt. at
Algeziras, dated March 10, mentions
the receipt OF a letter from Mr. M eade,
Iat Cadiz, acqaainting that the brig
Sally, of Philadelphia, had been relea-
sed there. She had not been taken
on her passage by any British cruizer,
nor had her register endorsed /; but
oil the Western Islands had been
boarded from a British priyateer.
After which she voluntarily entered
Cadiz harbor, and was here several
days, when it was discovered she had
Seen boarded, whereupon she was
seized by officers of the government.
Whether this instance is a proof of 4
favorable intention, as tovessels whose
registers were endorsed, and the ves-
sells forced into Spanish ports, is sub
jectto conjecture. Strong hopes how
ever, are entertained. Government
had caused samples to be taken of the
Hour on board detained vessels at AL
gesiras, and it was supposed intended
to buy, ifthey were released: but some
doubts are entertained ofthe goodness
OF governments pay.
1t is probable that the Revolution
in Spain will retard decisions on the
American vessels so long detained at
Algeziras, and other ports in that
country.

We lave received b. the brig Pru-
dence, from Bordeaux, files Of French
papers to the latter end of March !.
bat their contents are either uninlpor.
tant, or have been anticipated in the
Mercantile Advertiser by way Of Lon
don. We learn verbally that the al
lodged crime for which Marshal
BTaae is imprisoned IL the Temple al.

ccived from tie English six millions
OF liyres for permission to smuggle
goods into Hamburger. Hc has Been
compelled to refund this money; be.
sides inc1rring the displeasafe of his
royal master, who is said 60 have de-
ciared that he spared hiG life only in
consideration Of his past services, and
because Of the dignity OF Marshal to
which those. services had raised him.
Our correspondent at Bordeaux,
under the date Of March 2sth, writes

in France. Commerce is IN so dis
tressing a state that nearly al the

From Copenhagen we learn that the
Sound was completely covered win

that at Elsiheur, where the passage is
narrow and the current more rapid.
the masses of ice were seen collecting
from day.to day SO that if the frost
cotinued week longer, it would be
possible for foot soldiers to March
over it into Sweden, where the pub
lie mind was said to ne in great fer
mentation. At Elsineur active sre-
parations were making to embark sad
transport the French army into Scania
and aotilla was building to protect
the movements of the navy and seeure
the transport from one island to ano-
Their. In the mean while the king Of
Sweden (who is concentrating his ar,
my) has prohibited ali commit nicatiors
between his kingdom and Den
mark upon pain of dsath and has Or
deredsthe fotilla of Ado to be burnt,
to prevent its falling into the haods

April, Sir William Scott proceeded to
the adjudication of the American ship
Union, captain Baker, captured on her
passage from Amsterdam to Madeira,

question now was, as to the national
character of the person who claimed

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.


Since the foregoing articles were
prepared for the press, commercial
friend has put the Editor of the Mer-
camille Advertiser in possession OF &
London paper (per the Alleghany) of
the evening of April 9TH, two days Ia
ter'intelligeace from England than had
been heretofore received. Il contains
some interesting circumstances, of
which the following is brief but gen
eral outline.
In the House OF Lords, on the 9th
of April, Lord Granville gave notice,
that he should, upon an early day ;sf-
ter the recess, perhaps between the S h
and 10Th Of Nav, move to address his
ma esty 20 revoke the late orders in
council.
The English have established them
selves III the island of Lesina, on the
coast Of Dalmatia, which The Russians
occupied several months during their
last war with France; itis thought to
have. been taken possession of for some
temporary purposes, and with an in
considerable force.
Notwithstanding the pressure of war
and the daily increasing difficulties to
which the commerce of England is ex-
posed, the financial prosperity of the
country is represented as keeping pace
with the magnitude of the exertions
which she is compelled to make,
the surplus of the consolidated fund,
for the year ending on the 5th April,
amounted to four millions and half
sterling, exceeding by one million
that OF the year preceding.
1t was reported in London ON the
9TH of April, with more confidence
than the general fear would allow it to
merit. that the American Government
has offered its naediations between En-
gland and France; and that Mr.
Noursc, who has arrived at L'Oricnt
in the Usage, is the bearer of pro-
posal to that effect. 1t was added, that
Mr. Nourse is charged with dispatch
IS to Mr. Pinkney; but that he waits
at L'Orient until he hears from
our minister at Paris how this offer OF
mediation has been received.
Two-thirds Of the mercantile hous-
es in the city Of Lisbon have stopped
payment in consequence of the total
want of trade and the accumulated
Impressions of the French Government.
Letters had been received in London
to the Goth of March, some OF which
state that III the India House at Lis
bon were found $4,000 bales ofcotton,
10000 bales Of India goods, 1900
bales of Malabar coast goods, an alum
dance of cocoa, and other articles of
value. The first instalmcnt on the
contribution of forty million of crusa-
does had been paid. The amount of
1t was about 2oo,oOol. sterling. In
the list of persons assessed, MIR Quin-
tella (atwhose house general Junot has
his head quarters) Mr. Sandeize, and
Mr. Caldas stand separately charged

1t is probable that the Revolution
In Spain will retard decisions on the
American vessels so long detained at
Algeziras, and other ports in that
country.

MARYLAND ASSEMBLY.

The Federalists of Maryland are entitled
to the gratitude of America for their exer-
lions. The independent American Yeo-
many of that state have applied Plaster
larger than Mr.. Jefierson's imported g great
sore" in Baltimore. The new ASSEMBLY,
Just elected, is decidedly federal OF 80
members Of which it will be composed,
FORTY-THREE are Federalists.-In the
present Assembly there are only Twenty
nine misunderstanding clear gain of
Twenty-Eight Representatives (out of
Eighty in one Year Few States have
done better than this Bat though well
we expect, that in the ensuing Electoral
choice the Federalists of Maryland will yet
do better. The last " North American"
makes the federal gain this year still more
tayourable.-It states the majority to be
from to 10, and may be increased by the
addition of eight votes supposed to be lille
gally returned from Kent and Cecil coun-
ties. Should this be the case the majority
Of the House will swallow up the Senate,
III joint ballot. But no " Senator to Con-
gress," adds the same paner, will be cho-
sen by the new Legislature. The branches
beng of opposite politics, neither will con-
sent to 60 into a convention unless sure of
an advantage. Gen. Smiths Senatorial
period expires in March but as the E
leventh Congress viii not probably meet
until December 1909, no inconvenience can
result to Maryland from the delay
