The ship Falcon, Lewis, arrived at 10
o'clock last evening, in 35 days from Ill
yerpool and 80 from Waterford, with a
cargo Of dry goods, crates, &c. to &c con-
signees
We have received our files of English pa
psrs By the Falcon, and have made such
extracts as our time and limits would per-
nit.

London, March l2.
The claims of the English merchants on
the Cour, of Russia for the value OF 40
vessels and cargoes under neutral flags, de-
tanned by the government at Petersburg
in the year 1910, are likely at length to
be adjusted, it will be recollected that a
deputation, at the head OF which was MIR.
Alderman Rowcrost, was sent from Lon
don to the Russian capital, to seek com
pensation from the Emperor for losses sus-
tanned by British subjects. As the Empe'
ror Alexander was at Aix-la-Chapelle at
the time of the arrival of the deputation,
the memorial was forwarded to our minis
ter, and from him to the hands Of the En-
peror. An answer to it has now been re-
ceived, and we are informed that it is OF
satisfactory nature. The amount is very
large, as the whole lao vessels had vaiu-
able cargoes on board, chiefly colonial
produce.
London, March Is.
Letters have been received to the Esd
ult. from Gibraltar, by which II appears
that the plague on the coast Of Africa, in
stead of diminishing with the cold weather,
was increasing to an alarming extent
The only information with regard to the
rsvage. committed by it. was b""ugh' to
the British fortress by the vessel appointed
BY the Governor to sail at stated periods,
as no private trading ships were allowed
to have any communication with the Bar
barry coast. According to the latest 'dvI-
ces, one or two hundred persons died dali
ly of the disease.
We have several times had occasion to
advert 10 the strenuous erertion Spain is,
at the present moment, making again to
recover the provinces of La Plata.-For
this precise purpose the minister Yrujo
was called into ofhce-and certainly ne
has given that tone to The efforts of Spain
against the Transatlantic provinces, which
none of his predecessors have been able
to do-that is, he has put into motion those
schemes which before were only to be
found in the columns Of the Madrid Ga
zette-or in other words, he has obtained
a certain number OF transports. The Bri-
tish. French, Spanish, italian, Dutch, Prus.
sian, Swedish and Danish vessels, which
are hired, are ordered TO rendezvous at Ca
dig in the beginning of April, " embark
10000 men, and to be escorted by . large
naval force. Such is the project Ct the
Spanish government, which is an attempt
greater than even this country ever wit
messed When the Helder feet sailed from
England, they had about $4,000 tons Of
shipping for Is, 600 men, who were three
weeks before they landed, at which time
all their " alter was out. For Spain TO con-
vey 10000 men across the Atlantic, she
will require 100000 tons Of shipping, or
500 vessels.
We have this morning received German
papers to thci6th inst Great and speedy
changes are expected al Hanover in the
present Constitution Of that State. 1t is
