Spnrixh News.?Our intelligence
from Gibraltar, per (lie Sheperdess,
arrived aft New Haven, is to the 28th
of April:?The King of 8pah,
some time in that month, called his
council together to advise with them
011 the subject of his revolted colo
nies, and desired them all to ex pies*
their sentiments without any reserve:
accordingly 22 of the members re
commended a compromise with the
revolutionists which so exasperated
the King, ibat^notwithstanding lu
bad urged them to give their opinions
freely, be immediately dismissed
them Irom his serviced A majority
of the Council were in favor of pro
secuting the w ar.
Two Captains in the Spanish Na
vy, (iirigudters of Marine) havt
been 4>roke foHrefusing to take com
mand of two 7*1 \s destined for Linm
and the King says that all shall bt
broke w ho refuse, in this critical slate
of hisi kingdom, to perform tlieii
duty.
Since the arrival of the last frigate
from Vera Cruz with money (though
it was all private property) the ex
pedition at Cadiz h?s made some
progress. About 40 En :.lish trans
ports have arrived from England, to
take troops, (under private contract)
which with the Russians, Danes,
Swedes and French before employed,
will make the armada a confederacy
of all the Holy Allies.? Hiis does
not look much like ^-neutrality?
though it was whispered that "the
English bail ordered their cruizers
to capture all vessels under their Aug
having troops &c. on board to be
employed against the Patriots.
. The Sufi Telmo, Han Fernando
and Alexander 1st (74's) and Diana
frigate (44) were expected to sail
from Cadiz for Lima on or about the
6th of May, but would carry mi
troops?we shall not be surprised
to hear that the cause of this vvas?
because the trooj>s would not go.
It is stated, that The King continu
ed to grant exclusive licences to trade,
as a means of raising money?to
import the produce of his colonies
into the kingdom in foreign bottoms
oo paying the same duties as are
paid to national vessels?to import
flour into Havana in foreign bottoms
upon paying half the present dtaty;
which, with enormous forced loans
whenever money arrives from the
Indies, and two lotteries per month,
constituate almost the whole system
of finance from which the resources
of the empire are derived?whilst in
several parts of it, bodies of armed
banditti occupy the country, plunder
ing all they meet, murdering many,
and in some instances have, in par
ties of $00 stroAg laid towns under
contribution!
VVe further learn, that Mr. Wm.
D# Robinson who was formally de
manded by the Governor af Cadiz,
still enjoyed his refuge at Gibraltar,
as Governor Don had manifested
irio disposition to authorise his being
arrested in conformity to this extraor
dinary mandate.
