.FRoMyERA CRUZ AND HAVANA.

The U. $ sloop of war Hornet, Sid
ney Smith, Esq. commander, arrived at
New York on Saturday morning from
Vera Cruz and Havana. The editors
of the New York Gazette have been
favored with papers from the former
place to the esd ult. and from the latter
to the 18th inst. but they do not furnish
any news of importance.
at is stated that all the native Span
iards had left Vera Cruz and gone to
the Castle of ST. John de Ullua. TWAS
hourly expected that the forts of the
town would open fire upon the Castle,
which was to be the signal for hostili-
ties. An orderhad been Issued for all
vessels to leave the harbor, and several
Americans sailed in CO. with the Hor-
neto the Gath ult.
The latest Havana papers give copy
of a very long private letter from the
Castle, dated on the ed and esd ult.
giving an account of the cause of
from the present difficulties between
the Castle and Town. It appears
this statement, that the Revolutionists
(as the writer terms them) wished to
take possession of the Island of Sacri6-
clos, and had senttwo gun boats from
Alvarado, and were constructing bat
terry to protect the anchorage. The
General at the Castle however got the
whip hand of them, and sent small
force to occupy it, and hoist their flag.
After which, he senta flag of truce to
town with letter to Governor VlllaJr-
rutia, informing him of the occupation
of the Island by his troops, and that he
would look upon the arrival of the gun
boats at the anchorage asan act of hos
ulity, and would act accordingly.
The Governor stated in reply, that he
must proceed to execute bis designs by
positive orders from the government,
but in consequence Of the representa-
tons ofmunicipaiity, be sent deputa-
ton TO the Castle, saying that the boats
should not approach. This affair took
place on the 18th, from which dav TO the

LATEST DIRECT FROM SPAIN.

LATEST DIRECT FROM SPAIN.
The Boston Commercial Gazette of
Monday, announces the arrival of the
brig Milo, Captain Hall, in 81 days from
st. Lucar, bringing accounts from that
place TO the 18th Of Septenber--later
in date by some days than we have hi
therto had, and as late, if not later, than
we can expect by either of the two Lii
verpool packets now due. st. Lucar
is al the mouth of the Guadalquiver,
and only about thirteen miles from Ca
diz. The following intelligence furnish
ed by this arrival is favourable to the
Spanish cause, and it will be considered
the mere so when it is recollected, that
the place from whence the intelligence
is derived is in the hands of the French:
s'On the a6th August, the French at
tackled the Cano Frocardaro, a small
Island used as Navy Yard, and we're
REPULSED with the loss of ONE
THOUSAND men, in killed and wound
ed. Ii was intended to be given up by
the governor-but the garrison not only
defended the place, but hung up the
Governor, aoitlto,ts ceremony, as an crarn-
pie to Traitors!
1T was reported at st Lucar, On the
10th September, that the French had
| made an unsuccessful attack on or near
ST. Petre, in which they had three gun
boats sunk, ooe frigate materially inju-
red, and number of lives lost.
THE captain Of the Milo also states,
that a report was in circular at It. Lucar
on the 2sth Angus. Of two battalions OF
French troops having laid down their
arms and that the Duke d angouleme
was discouraged, accusing his Admiral
of having deceived him, as he had found
the subjugation of Cadiz much hard
er task than he had imagined.
"Tbree thousand French troops ar
rived at st. L,icar OH the s0th Of August
from Rota, and were quartered on the
inhabitants. They are destined for the
attack on Cadiz.
THE st. Lucar accounts confirm the
fall Of the Trocadero; but say It was
sold to the FYench tor $4,000. This,
Of course, is denied by the French, who
affirm that it was carried by the valour
OF the French troops.
at was reported at St. Lucar, Sept.
16, that Gen. Alavar had retired to the
castle of St Sebastians, for fear of be-
ing shot by Riego. 1t appears that A Ia
var was one of the Commissioners sent
from Cadiz to treat with the Duke, in
the ABSENCE Of Riego, he being on the
borders Of Malaga, and hearing the cir
cumstance, proceeded in haste for Ca
diz, eluded the French, arrived in safe
ty; and by haranguing the populace on
the subject of their liberty, telling them
it was disgraceful even to offer any
terms, the negotiation was broken oil.
at was also reported, Sept. i2) that
NEGOTIATIONS WERE RENEWED; though
the Constitutionalists doubted the fact
"Great exertions were making by the
French to reduce Cadiz. They had
seized all the fishing craft at st. Lucar
and fitted them up for gun boats. They
had also imposed requisiton on the
inhabitants, which shows pretty clearly
that their supplies from Paris must have
been exhausted. The lcvying money in
this way, could not fail to procure them
more enemies than friends among the
Spaniards."
