might expect news, is the N. York packet shlpl
N John Wells, Capt, Harris, from Liverpool, brihg
}ing papers of that place Of the 9Th, and Londonl
5As]ates of the 7th September. Except what re-
Mates to the proceedings before Cadiz, (says thel
REye. Post, of the 8th) the intelligence by thisl
VI conveyance respecting France and Spain, IS un-l

'sa Purnambuco paper, the proclamation otthe En-
9# peror of Brazil, announcing the total change {
iS his ministry, in obedience to PUBLIC OPINION. Hi
's& Majesty affirms that every lawful goyernmer
s% will submit to that control-a proposition quit
SH repuenant to the creed which has been promu
