Extract Of a letter, dated Gibraltar, eed .lpra.
The demand for -four, for Italy, has caiis-
cd the prices to advance, and all that was
here has been bought up at advanced prices !:
now there IS none in the place. A Moorish
boat arrived here a few days since from Te-
tuan, with an order for the Jews residing in
the garrison to send over three thousand
barrels OF flour Immediately the boat re-
NAMED here three days and returned with
an unsatisfactory answer. The fact is, that
the old emperor, who is now at Fee with his
army, is at open war with the new one, Ia
nephew,) who has mustered a party, and
wants to obtain the throne for himself, alleg-
ing that he Is the lawful successor howey-
er, all supplies from the interior are cut of
by the former, and the latter is reduced to a
very critical situation. In order to obtain
provisions for his army, he had recourse 10
the Jews, declaring that if their friends here
did not send over the quantity of flour, with
IN short time, he would cause some of their
principal men TO be murdered. We have
not learned the issue of their affair. but it is
believed by the Jews here, that it is only a
stratagem OF the emperor 10 obtain food for
his trOops-h is renraspnteI nc :, verv cr,,ol
tyrant, and persccutes the Jews severely.
Strong representations have been sent
from many parts of the Kingdom of Spain
to the Cortes at Madrid, praying for some
mitigation of the duties on imports, and
which it was thought will be attended with
success. The system OF smuggling has been
carried on to an almost uncomfortable extent
within the last IL months, consequently the
fair trader stands no chance of realsins his
merchandise at any thing like fair profits"

NASHVILLE, June 2.-Lctters from on
board the General Jackson, to the owner, in
forms, that on the morning of "Wednesday
last, Just before sun rise, the boat ascending
the Rarpeth shoals, about forty miles below
this city, run on snag which penetrated her
bottom, and produced such an opening, that
her prudent commander found ii necessary
to use every excrtion TO run her into shallow
water; in this he succeeded SO far, that when
the boat sunk her cargo deck was eight or
nine inches above the surface of the water
ofthe cargo, about seventy FIVE hogsheads
of sugar il is expected will be very nearly If
not entirely lost.-Of the balance, the coffee
on board has been saved by removing it to
the cabin, and above deck where also was
removed nearly all the packages which were
small and of a character to be hastily ham
died.
The only consolation in this bad news is,
that the loss sustained has fallen on several
individuals, whose circumstances enable them
TO bear il, without in the slightest degree af-
feeling their credit.
