T l Latest from Gibraltar. Courier Office , Charleston, ) December 6, 1820. By the brig Cervantes, Capt. White, arrived at. this port on Christmas Day, in oS davs frm Gibraltar, wc have the pleasing certainty of the Ratification of our Treaty with Spain, which cedes the Florida to tiie United States. An official copy of the ratified treaty was sent by the brijj Pleiades, which left Gibraltar on (he ISlh Nov. in company with the Cervantes. The certainty of the ratification is now placed beyond ail doubt, as the gentlemen, passengers, in the Cervantes, assure us of its correctness., From the sayie so iree we learn that Italv was in a verv disturbed state : cvcry thing in that country wore a gloomyaspect : an Austrian army of 80.000 men was threatening to invade it. Many strangers of distinction fro'm ICngland had recently arrived there. Palermo & Sicily have followed the example of Na!es. Late accounts from the south of France indicated a considerable degree of unea siness ami dissatisfaction as prevalent t'iet e, ana a change m allairs anticipated by miny. Spain was tranquil in all its parts ; the arts and deliberations nf the Cortes had given general Hhfisfaeiion. The Algerins and Tunisians were? at war : an Algerine fleet was off Leghorn in October. It was reported at Gibraltar that they had raptured' some Ame-ri-can vessels, and our Mjuadron, in conse quencc, lett Uiuraltar lmmeUiatcly. A Dutch squadron passed up the Straits in October, to protect their merchant vessels. . An American ladv in London, in a 1 letter to a friend in this city, dated Oct. thus describes a dandy Lord.

He wear9 large mustachios, a beard or tuft on his chin, very high collar to his shirt, a black cravat tied in a larcbow where the ruflles should be, a white dress, resembling a carter's f rock, and over that a black jemmy coat, almost oft his shoulders, with his coat sleeves turned hall way up his arms, his wristbands covering his hands. He wears a very small hat, with a very low crown, and" a small rim, just to cover the top of his head, and a boquct before him completes this ubject. He has a little footman, in white livery, by his side. Ue bawls out " Aoir are you,,r so loud, you can hear him almost over the Park. His face is as vol. tow as a pumpkin. He attracts general! attention, an a whenever he stops he is iur:umided.?- Advocate.

" I a:n sorry to inform you of the misfortune which has befallen the Steam Hoot St. Louis. On Thursday the 28th of December, in the Mississippi, below Island No. 10, the boat took fire under the cambouse. Wc immediately tore down the bulk head, tore away the cambouse, cut holes through the deck and all hands throwing water in the hole, but found it impossible to put it out. Wc then run her on shore and scuttled her, and in one hour she was burnt to the water's edge, where she now lavs. We have got from her a few barrefs of beef and pork and still trying to get more." Wc understand that the boat was partially insured at the Louisville Insu rance Ollice, as well as a part of her carS From the Manufacturers' and Farmer's Journal. flte Tn the year 1807, it vas computed by well informed men, that hats to the value of near 810,000,000, were annually manufactured in the U. States. Rhode-Island alone furnished to th&- amount of S -50,000 in fine hats, besides felts to a very great value. The amount imported exceeded the amount exported by S2J0.000. But this branch of trade has at 'last become truly flourishing. From the best information that can he obtairrcd, the value of the exported hats now exceeds that ol imported, by sever a! hundred thousand dollars. The Amer ican hats are as fine as the English, and more substantial and durable. Gaming.

A gentleman from BaJtimctre, by the name of Grilfin, who owned (L farm between that city and Havre-de-Grace, was killed, and another person, very severely wounded, by a runaway slave, on Thursday last, within about seven miles of this place. The following are the circumstances of the case, as the have been related to us. Mr. Griffin, with his overseer, came to this place, in search of the runaway, and upon enquiry, bavins received some information respecting him, pro ceeuea wnn some other persons, u the Ivcnnct road, to a place at whic he had been told the man might be found, and being directed to the barn, where be was at work. Mr. Griffin when J attempting to seize him, was shot dead upon the spot, by the slave, and the oversecr, who followed after him, received from the furious black, a blow upon the head, with an axe, which froduced such a contusion, that his ife is despaired of. Both of them had families. The negro, we understand, has been apprehended and sent to West Chester jail, to await his trial. -Del. Gaz. Ed wards vill'e, Dee. 2G.
