London, March 2e.-Advices from Ba-
tavia to the latter end Of October were
received on Saturday. The market was
oyer-run with American traders, who were
purchasing coffee with great avidity, on az
count Of the approaching duty tobe laid on
all articles exportedin foreign vessels. The
Americans pay for their cargaes only in
dollars, and their speculations had advanced
the price of coffee from l6 to "a dollars the
pecul, answering TO about 1870 lbs avoirdu-
pois. The new duty will be two dollars
the pecui.
London, March PA Dutch mail arri-
we'd this morning, bringing Papers to the
goth inst. An article from Brussels states
that the French exies in that city were i'm
patiently awaiting some measure on the
part OF. Louis XVIII. which would enable
them to return to France. The recent e.
vents in tina: country certainly justify the
very natural hope that they will be per-
| mitted to share in the e!emency which has
been extended to their associates. Nor is
this anticipation confined to the banished
rebels who are in the Netherlands. Ac-
| cording to intelligence from Frankfort,
Carnot is moving nearer to France, that he
may be ready when called.
London March 30.-We understand that
the Spanish Government had entered into
an arrangement with one of the Represen-
tatives Of the City for the supply of the ships
required for the Expedition under prepa
rations at Cadiz, and the whole number has
in consequence been obtained without
much difficulty, as this gentleman has given
security for the payment of the whole "a
mounio of charges upon them--most Of which
are on the point of leaving the different
ports for Spain, as instructions have been
received from Madrid 10 hasten their de-
parture as much as possible. According to
letter from Csliz, of the 7th inst, it would
appear, that there was very prevalent
opinion in that place, that the Expedition
could not possibly sail before the begin
ing Of June.
Most ofthese vessels hired at Bordeaux
and other ports in France, for the same
purpose as those chartered in London, are
not, as has been generally supposed,
French ships, but nearly all of them are
British, trading with the Mediterranean.
Liverpool, .4pril 9.
The expedition preparing al Cadiz Us
carrying on in all its details with an unu-
sual degree OF vigor. The naval force will
consist Of sail OF the line, 6 frigates, le
briggs and schooners, and &c gun-boats. All
these are at present in the harbor of Cadiz,
| and in state OF complete equipment. The
| transports will enable Spain to embark
| military force little short of 10000 men.
The greater part of the troops are already
| encamped in the neighborhood of Cadiz,
| and are said to be in state OF high order
and discipline. Great surprise exists "a
mong those who know the dilapidated re-
sources Of Spain, concerning the quarter
! whence money has been furnished to meet
the charges of the expedition That mo-
ney has been literally supplied is certain,
from the concurriDg testimony OF all those
who have been concerned in the contracts
relating to it. Contributions, not strictly
voluntary, have, it is said, been afforded by
Spanish subjects--but these cannot have
been very extensive. Spain has also re-
ceiyed assistance from France to the a
| mount CT I,5oo, 200 livres, either in 1iqui
dation of some former claims or as a loan
and bull has been obtained from the
Pope, for appropriating one-tenth part OF
the produce of ecclesiastical benefces. All
accounts agree in stating that the expedi-
