government were about sending depu guarus. Upon inquiry, however, it appeared, that this insubordination was not inthe slightest degree connected with political feeling, but had originated merely in the discontent of some privates at the state of the barracks into which they bad been lately removed, and at the fatiguing duty they had been called upon to perform. At four o'clock yestesday morning they were marched out of town, and subsequent accounts received from officer of the left wing of the regiment, on its first day's march, is highly creditable, in every respect, to the discipline and good order of the, men. Nor is the report of the feeling shown by the remaining part of the battalion less satisfactory. Dublin, June 12.

We are here in a deplorable situation, in consequence of the failure 'of the banks. Heretofore the Dublin banks we're considered impregnable, and notwithstanding ajl the ruin and dismay in only while she continued abroad, and that the restoration of her majesty's name was indispensible to her honor. A proposal was then offered of a mediation, which wi agreed to; and the next papers are the protocols of the meetings at the house of lord Castlereagh, in St. James-square. At these conferences it was stated, on the part of her majesty, that under the unfortunate" circumstances in which she was placed, her anxious desire for the public tranquility would make her give up with reluctance her wish to remain in this country; but in taking up her residence abroad, instructions must be given to his majesty's ministers to receive present her at every court which she might visit, as queen of the United kingdom.

As to her name being restored to liturgy, she again demanded it as a tine qua non. It was answered, that it was the invariable etiquette that foreign courts would not receive any person who had not been presented to the court of their own sove- reign, But if her majesty would condescend to fix her residence either at the court of Milan, or another in Italy, his majesty would instruct his ministers at ich court to how her the due attentions a queen England, but his majesty could not take upon himself to bay that his recommendation would be effectual as to her being received as It is also said, that when her majesty hid fiacd on the place pi her future residence, a suitnblc provision (and we understand the som stated was 50,000. a year) would be settled on her for life. The natural and dignified reply to this was that money ought not to be mentioned, for nothing was so dibtant from her thoughts. It was not for money she quence decimated, and t'ueir colonel thrown into prison.

He adds that the eentora will not allow any of the above particulars to appear in the journals. Morning Chronicle. Paropelona, May 2l. Saragossa letters, received by yesterday's mail, state the peace of that city to have been disturbed in consequence of the difference the marquis of Lazan and Gen. Haro who had been sent from Madrid to succeed the former in the military command of Aragon.

It is known that the marquis, strong in the general and merited esteem of the Aragonesc, refused to give up his command; and that government, wishing to gratify the people, agreed to his continuing in the exercise of his functions. This occurrence roused the partizans of the late order of things, who are in opposition to the constitutionalists. The former parly had taken into pay between 3 and 400 of the lowest class to destroy the constitutional column; and, accordingly, this band repaired, on the 14th, to the square where it was erected with the word Constitution" on at, for the purpose of polling it down. The officer commanding the guard recommended to this rabble to withdraw; but to this recommendation they replied by the cries of The religion forever! Long live the king! Down with the constitution!" At these vociferations, ihe whole garrison, consisting of 1 regiment of foot, 1 of horse, and a company of artillery, by general Haro, marched against the mutineers, and on the tatter's attempting to defend themselves, fired upon them. It is reported that about 20 were killed, and a great many more wounded.

The archbishop and about 12 canons have been arrested, as the authors of the disturbance; a military commission has been appointed to try them and their ac was induced to mske the attempt, in order to realize the feelings of those, whoser execution he had lately witnessed; as he had been twice before found making similar attempts with that avowed view, and had been corrected for by hi school master. When disrtrfered, he) was supposed to have been bunging upwards of an hour. New Orkani, July 4. CAUTION TO THIEVES. Memoiri of a Henry Webster, who had been imprisoned for stealing, was discharged on Saturday, commit-ted larceny and was arrested on the Wednesday following, was indicted on Thursday, tried and convicted on Friday, and received thirty nine lashes on Saturday.

In addition to which punishment, he is to be imprisoned two yeara tit hard labour going a little out of his week! Nuhville, (Tenn.) July 1. Monday last the awful sentence of death was executed on John Lusk, convicted of the crime of rati, at the last term of the Davidson circuit court. It is said, that the following rives the respective ages of the sitrTiring political, patriarchs who signed the Declaration of Independence: William Floyd, ot New-York, 87 John AdarriR, of Mastachutetu, 85 Thomas Jefferson, of Virginia, 83 Charles Carroll, of Maryland, 82 Extract of a letter, re'eived In Baltimore! pet the phUeani, dated St. as, July 21. "The news from Laguira, is that the royalists have evacuated St.

Carlos, and fell back on Pallineira, the head quarters of Morillo, and gen Bolivar at Ca-labaza. The royal general was so displeased at the commandant of St. Carlos, for retiring from that place, that it was contended, and it must not be alluded to again. Finally, she could not accept of conditional recomincnaauon to oe received at, the court where she might take her residence, and she must in-tWt upon the which had been required.

It was reported that general Campana and the two colonels implicated in the horrid massacre at Cadiz, have been condemned by the council of war to be that! and general Freyre to be stripped of all his honors and emoluments. Wednesday, August 16. On Thursday last the election for members of the legislature took place in several counties in this state: the following is the result for this county: SENATE. Michael Holt, 695 Duncan Cameron, 553 COMMONS.

The pilot boat us, employed by government for the use of the Commissioners appointed by the Navy Board to make a survey of the coast of North Carolina, returned yesterday to this port. Captain Elliot, one of the Commissioners, has come home in her, the survey having been completed.

The other Commissioners, who went out in her, proceeded on to the Eastward some time since: the pilot boat Wesley, also engaged in the survey, will be here in a few days, and the revenue cutter employed at Smithville, in a fortnight. The chart of the coast of North Carolina, according to this survey, differs very materially from the charts now in use, and corrects many important errors. SHIP OF THE LINE. We are informed, from respectable authority, that at the drawing of the Xaval Lottery, which took place on Monday last, the ship of the line now on the stocks at the navy yard in this port, drew the name of NORTH CAROLINA." She will be launched, we understand, on the 20th of September, or the first full moon tide in that month. The figure head of this noble vessel is to be a full length portrait of the founder of the state whose name she bears.

We are also informed, that as soon as the North Carolina is launched, the keel of a frigate of the first rate will be laid down in our navy yard. IPkil.Centinel. Augusta (Geo.) July 22. Mr, Forsyth, our minister at the court, of Spain, has returned to Madrid. We are highly gratified to learn from a respectable and authentic source, that Mr.

enjoys, under the constitutional government, a popularity no less flattering to himself, than it is reasonably presumed, will prove alike honorable and advantageous to his country. From the professions of the constitutional government, the United States have every thine to hope; so far at least, as relates to an- equitable adjustment of our affairs with that country. T. B. Robinson, Esq.

is elected governor of Louisiana. Edward Livingston, Esq. is elected member of congress, to represent the district of New Orleans. Mr, Samuel Reichenbach, a Swiss gentleman, arrived at this place a few days since. We understand he is agent for a company in Switzerland, and has come here with the intention of purchasing a large tract of land in this territory, for the purpose of forming a Swiss settlement.

He contemplates making a purchase in Winter's grant, on the Arkansas river, if he can ascertain the title to be good. As soon as he can effect a suitable purchase, we understand he will bring on from 00 to 1000 of his Swiss brethren. JirkanaS Caz. Cincinnati, (Ohio,) July 18. Our harvests are coming in most satisfactorily.

The farms throughout our ferule country are literally teeming with abundance. Wheat, of which there are incredible quantities, has seldom been known of a better quality; and so heavy and extensive are the crops, it is apprehended, that some of it will perish on the ground for want of labourers to secure it. Superfine flour has lately been sold in this market by the quantity at 22 25 per barrel. The governor of Virginia offers a reward of 55500 for George Hamblet, who committed a deliberate murder on a negro man, his slave, accompanied by circumstances of the most savage cruelty. Baltimore, August 2.

Christian Bitto, a youth aged anout 1 1 years, hung himself yestclday, in Happy alley, Fell's Point. It is supposed, he the country, tiiere was no run upon any of them. Things however are changed Alexander's bank closed this morning or, mote properly speaking, did not open and we can now unfortunately form some judgment, from experience, of the confusion and alarm which have been witnessed in the most agitated part of the south. This failure, it is thought, will do more injury than-all the others put together. If any confidence had remained it will destroy it.

No one has courage now to keep any private banker's note. Before the end of the week, I suppose, there will not be a private banker's note in circulation in any part of Ireland and if three, out of all the are able to withstand the storm, it is as much as the most sanguine now calculate upon. The connexions of the Alexanders were chiefly in the north-in that quarter there has been as yet no crash but you may well conceive what is now to be expected. The notes of the firm in circulation are said to amount'to 500,000 Two curious anecdotes, illustrative of the distressed condition of Ireland at the pres. nt moment, are mentioned in conversation 1st.

Lately a 5. private note was offered in Cork for a leg of lamb, and refused. 2d. In Limerick, a man worth 15 or 1600. a year, had asked a party to dinner.

As for credit, it was out of the question, and if he could not pay the butcher, the poulterer and pastry-cook in cash, he could hope for nothing to lay before his friends. He was not without money, as he had a 10. national note but who could give change for so mighty a paper? His butcher could not neither-could his poulterer or pastry-cook. His only resource was to write to his friends, very ingenuously describing to them his situation, and begging that they would defer their visit until he could procure either credit or change for a 10. Lor.don, June 19.

We received on Saturday and yesterday the Paris papers of Wednesday and Thursday last. The chamber of deputies were occupied during Tuesday and Wednesday, in the discussion of the budget, which was further adjourned till Thursday. A deputation of the chamber, conducted by the count Simeon, the minister of the interior, presented the election project to the king on Wednesday, as agreed upon by the chamber, and the same day the above minister communicated the project to the chamber of peers, who ordered it to be referred to the bureaux, and fixed the further consideration of it for Friday. Paris appears to have been tranquil through the whole of Tuesday, nothing being said to the contrary in the journals, and on Wednesday, during the day and the evening, it is expressly the most perfect tranquility prevailed in all quarters of the capital; Boulevards were patroled by national guards and gen d'armerie, but it is added they found no mob to disperse. An attempt, as already stated in private accounts, was made early on Tuesday morning to set fire to the stables of the duchess d'Angoulcme; one of the horses was hurt in consequence of some litter being burnt, the flames were extinguished without doing any material damage.

Marshal Soult, duU.ftf;rDa4maU3, is gone to his estate of. St. Armand, in the department of Tarn. A new ordonnance of police has been published at Paris, strictly enjoining all hotel-keepers, and all persons letting lodgings, or having inmates," to make a daily return of all persons in their houses, whether residing there as lodgers, as guests, or as friends. The marquis de Villa-Piayres, secretary general of the supreme tribunal of the inquisition, was to leave the capital on the 4th, in order to proceed to Genoa, where he is conveying all the furniture of his house, and even his library Two regiments have had a quarrel at Zerez, but the particulars are not yet known." We are informed by an intelligent Frenchman, just arrived from France, that some very serious disturbances have taken place at Lyons.

An immense mob assembled, who were attacked, and finally dispersed by the Swiss, wi the loss, however, of about 300 of the- fatter killed and wounded. That the legion de la Vienna had refused to fire on the populace, and were in conse complices; and the marquis of Lazan, and several other persons of note, having fled, general Haro remains sole commandant of Aragon. Interesting from Gibraltar. Norfolk, August 2. We learn from a respectable source, that immediately on the arrival of the Columbus in the bay of Gibraltar, and before she anchored, a despatch was de livered to com.

Bainbridge, from gover nor Don, acquainting him with the measures of restriction he had thought it his duty to impose upon the Ameri can squadron, in March last, but that he was instructed by his government in stantly to remove the same, and to offer to them the customary civilities of the fwrt. Some thm TKmgTrten forest-gating the circumstances of this trans action, (which, or course, commodore Bainbridge was ignorant of) and governor Don having withdrawn the restrictions upon the squadron, and made satisfactory explanations respecting the conduct of his officers, salutes were exchanged, and commodore Bainbridge went on shore and visited the governor. After this the British officers who violated the restriction imposed upon the Gurrfere by carrying a challenge on board to capt. Thompson and his officers, to meet the officers of the 64th acknowledged the impropriety of their conduct, and made satisfactory apologies to the Americans. Thus ended the second fiunic tnor, and, like the first, to the honor of the American military character.

Indeed, we are assured, that the honorable conduct of the officers of the uerriere, on this occasion, was the theme of panegyric, even among the Englishmen at Gibraltar. Governor Don had been instructed by his government to bring the offending officers of the garrison to a court martial, and informed com. Bainbridge of his desire to do so, but upon application to capt. Thompson and his officers, for a statement of facts, relative to their visit on board the uerriere, they declined making any report whatever on the subject. We learn, moreover, that the British government were not well pleased with the governor for a-dopting so hard a measure agairjst our squadron on so frivolous a pretext as a private dispute between two young officers and that com.

Bainbridge, in his negociations with the governor, upon the subject, maintained the honor of his officers and the dignity of his country, with an independence and firmness worthy of his character and It is much to be rejoiced.at that this unpleasant affair has terminated thus amicably and satisfactorily; and if we are not deceived in our judgment of human nature, it will be the foundation of a more friendly regard on the part of the British officers towards those of our navy on that station, than has heretofore existed, or could have" existed in the common course of things. Commodore Bainbridge in the Columbus, and captain Warrington in the Guerrier, sailed from Gibraltar on the 12th and arrived at Malaga on the 16th June. Captain Brown inthe Peacock, and capt. Perry, in the Spark, were ou: on a cruise, but were expected to put into Gibraltar, for supplies, the first fair The brig Manufactor from Alexandria, arrived at Gibraltar on the 1 8th June. Intelligence was received at Gibraltar on the 21st June, that the Spanish expected he would order him to be shot.

Much impatience had been manifested because Mr.

Lord A. Hamilton had also given notice of two motions on the subject, one related to the order for omitting the Queen in the Prayers. Mr. W.
