'OV o'''
By the arrival, yesterday, Of the ship
Cadmus, Whitlock, in As days from Liy-
erpool, the editors of the Daily Adver-
tiser have received Liverpool papers to
the 29th Jan. inclusive. The Cadmus
sailed on the 4th, but appears not to
have brought any papers later than
those we have received. As she sailed
in company with the packet ship Mes
tor, and several others for New York,
we presume our regular files of papers,
Lloyd's Lists, &c. were put on board
some of those vessels. We have taken
from our latest papers all the marine
intelligence they contained.
The papers arc wholly destitute of
news.-We find nothing respecting Tur-
key, except an article in the Liverpool
Advertiser Of the goth Jan. of report
that the Porte had accepted the Ultima
tum of Russia, which the editor says,
"may be considered as matter of great
doubt"
Ferdinand of Spain has yielded to the
voice OF prudence, and made concessions
to his Ministers--the tranquility of
Spain and the safety of his throne de-
handed this step.
The King of Portugal has also Bonded
to the new order of things, which go
braveIy on.
The weavers in Wiltshire lately turn
ed out in body in riotous manner, and
proceeded to Bradford, to break the
spring looms, &c. They had commit
ted some excuses when the ringleaders
were arrested and imprisoned.
The KING Of Portugal has acknowledged
the independence Of Chill.
The Deputies Of France were still
engaged in warm debates on the re.
