FOREIGN ARTICLES,


u
From the Liverpool Advertiser Of April &c.
Among the recent emigrations to the
United States, there are 26 persons be-
longing 10 one family, (Qnakers, of the
name Of Thistlethwaite, lately residing
10 Meadow-lape, Leeds. These industri-
GUS aud enterprising individuals are gone
with the intention of carrying on the wool
len manufacture (in conjunction with 9th.
ers) on an extensive scale, either at PHI
ladelphia. or some other eligible scite in lis
vicinity. Several other families are pre-
pairing to emigrate from the same neigh,
borhood, as we'll as from Dewsbury, Brad
ford, and other places in the vicinity. IL
is true these extensive emigrations may IN
some degree contribute to relieve our
overburdeued population; but they must
likewise tend in an equal ratio to impoy-
erish the nation as every individual and
family who emigrate, setting aside the
pecuniary wealth they carry with them,
take what is of far more consequence 10 a
commercial nation--their talents and in
dustry-articles. at present, OF compara-
tive small value in this country!
liverpool, May 1.-The celebrated ship
Isabella, which bore the Gag of Captain
Ross, in the late voyage TO the polar re-
gions, sailed lately from Hull for America,
with 200 English passengers, men, women
and children. The emigration from that
port is most prodigious. and is continually
increasing. They are Of all descriptions,
but chiefly persons who possess little
property. The loss Of so many valuable
citizens, in this season OF national difficult
ty, cannot easily be estimated.
LONDON, April IA.
Extract of letter from Madrid, dated
March 81.
" An express, travelling with the great
est haste, and despatched by Gen. 0'Don-
nell, from CadiZ. has arrived here, and
the contents of the dispatches have spread
a most visible alarm among ministers.
A most sensible alteration is remark
ed in Lozano de Torres and Eguia. A
great hustle has been created in the de-
partments under their charge, and as they
are the chief barometers by which the
public will judge of affairs, curiosity has
been considerably awakened as far as it
has been possible 10 judge from symptoms,
attended with unusual mystery and alarm,
as we'll as what il has been possible to
gather in private channels, it is believed
that General O'Donnel, the commander 10
chief of the grand expedition, has dis
covered plot, prepared by the disa6ect-
ed called upon 10 embark. 1t is rumored
that he expresses his distrust of some eff
GERS who have considerable influence
among the men and that, besides murmurs
on account Of pay, &c. there is great
clashiDg of feeling and sentiment, some
being SerrileS, others Liberales, and some
again AfrancesadOs, and fourth class,
men who consider themselves under a state
of compulsion. 1t is thought he has re-
quested fresh instructions and powers,
whereby much dilemma has been created,
though the government was we'll aware
that this new service was not liked, and
some difficulties at the moment of en-
barking we're even anticipated-to remedy
which, it had been proposed that the King
should go down to Cadiz, under hope
that his presence would give greater eclat,
and overawe the discontented.
This certainly would be novelty :
for Spanish monarcbs have seldom quilted
the capital, unless on hunting parties !:
but it is whispered the King has par
ticular aniipatby to visiting Cadiz; town
so lately devoted to the Cortes and new
order of things. The malevolent might
say he was himself going to America, as
they did of his father when be thought of
visiting AndaIusis. Besides, arrangements
are on The tspis for the kings third mar
riage. The dissatisfaction among the
troops had been caused, by the general
dislike to be sent out to serve in America,
which has been always considered kind
of bsnishmeDt, and accounts received from
Morillo's army have by no means tended
TO remove il. The conduct of the party
on board the Trinidad transport had been
publicly talked of at the messes, and ap-
proved as far as it was dared. The Span.
ish army never was fond Of chief who
was rigid disciplinarian, and austere in
his manners. This is the case with Gen.
O'Donnel, who keeps them tight at work.
+" The disturbances at Valencia have
not yet terminated. Elio is constantly
alarmed by pasquinades and anonymous
letters. The bloody edicts he published
have excited general discomfort.
