An insurrection is said to haVG shown itself in Estremadura, and great agitation was apparent in Andalusia. The conduct of the Spanish troops in the environs of Barcelona creates great apprehensions. The French General commanding, has ordered Baron d'Eroles to withdraw his troops to the distance of C leagues. From Cayenne. The schr. Moses, eapt. Sager, has arrived at N. York, in '29 days from Cayenne. The captain states that a vessel belonging to Cayenne, arrived at Para, hut was obliged to return with her cargo,in consequence of a revolution which had broken out. The streets of Para w ere drenched with the blood of the murdered at noon day. The governor of Cayenne had despatched a brig of 20 guns, and a schooner, for the relief of such persons as had sought refuge under the French llag. Cayenne is the capital of French Guiana. Para, or Para Gran, is the capital of a province of Brazil, of the same name. It is on the Tocantius, sixty miles from its mouth: Lat. 1,30 S." Population ten thousand. The Augsburg Gazette contains intelligence from Symrna to the 19th of January. The Turkish squadron fittedout at Constantinople to atlord succour to Smyrna had been destroyed by a tempest in the sea of Marmara. The Greeks are filled with joy. Five frigates & six brigs stranded. 'The Turks regarded this event as a chastisement from Heaven, and they had not been guilty of any acts of violence to the Greeks in consequence. The Greeks had become masters of the Gulph. The Turks considered there was no longer any security in the waters of the Archipelago. The Turkish garrison at Patras has retired to Lqianto. The Hellenists to the number of 7 or C000 have planted the standard of the Cross in the Lie of Mitvlene.

of Guatimala, Nicaragua, Coast Ric a, Honduras and St. Salvador. The principal towns are Guatimala the capital, with a population of about 30,000, Omoa and Truxillo. TI lib is perhap one of the mnvt fertile countries in the world, produeiiu: Cocoa, Hides, Cotton, '-'Mm. Sarsaparilla, and plenty of mines a o' . u t . . .pper,&.c. The liberal prin. pL . i h this gov ernment is foutirVf' :,j t- . very near ours; nearer tl o ,,f 'outh American (Colonies; - I the n:- ' nee. allowed foreigners in working nlh h ; tri(us mines, is a thint: unparalh h 1; and the securities, pri ilegrs, vic. given to all strangers, are founded on a basis peculiarly advantageous and which cannot fail of inducing all speculators of every nation to avail themselves of this great opportunity of working mines hitherto known ordv to indolent Spaniard, whose tenacity forbade any other than their own countrymen from sharing in the ric hes of the new world. H'ifteen families are allowed to settle a township, and pay no taxes or duties to government for five years. The dut'es levied arc! very moderate, and the facilities to commerce equal to any ports in the world. At present the trade is nearly all englowed by Spaniards, and carried on w ith Havana. But the day is not far distant when the United States will share the greatest part of the trade, as we can supply them vviih every material. Knglish merchants at Balize look with a jealous eye upon every American adventurer here, and the poor Spaniards cannot bear the idea that all nations arc to be permitted to free ingress and egress into ev ery part of this hitherto forbidden countrv.
"Cattle are abundant and are exported to Havana, Balize, 8cc. in great numbers. 44 This country has several fine sea ports i vipon the Pacific, and is most advantageously situated for carrying on commerce with both the Atlantic and Pacific. Its chief imports are linens, cotton, &c. from Europe; rum, sugar, &x. from Havana; and Hour, provisions, &c. from the United States. But we can supply them with cotton, as well as India and Russia goods, on as good terms as England or any other power. "The English Bible Society has caused the Bible to be printed in Spanish, and thousands are now distributing throughout these provinces. Formerly they were not allowed to read, but now free permission is given to every one. "The distribution of bibles is productive of the most important and vital advantages to the natives, and will be of great moment in tranquilizing and consolidating the government. "AtTairs are very tranquil and have the most pacific appearance. The government seems determined to cultivate the most intimate intercourse or interchange
of commerce with the U. States, and man
ifest the utmost attention and hospitality
to American visitors. The intercourse with the interior is carried on without any
material obstruction or danger, and all pro
duce is brought and carried upon mules."
Capt. Bradford, of the brig Sicily, ar
rived at Boston from the Mediterranean, tells a story, from which it would appear that the Algerines have of late so much
improved in comity, that they can hardly be considered as barbarians any longer. When otfCarthagena, on the 17th of Feb. he says, he fell in with two frigates, one of w hich hoisted American Colours, and ordered t he Sicily to back her maintopsail, and send her boat alongside. These orders were complied with, but on boarding the frigate, he found, by their turbans and wide trowsers, that the crew were not Americans. They were very polite, and conducted him along the gangwav, through a file of servants, white and black, into the after cabin, where lie found a vene rable looking man, with a black beard, lolling upon a cushioned sopha. His appearance w as more like that of a priest than that of a commander of a man of war, .and while asking the questions common on such ocasions, he was serve d with collee and pipes, by his numerous servants. He inquired if Capt. Bradford had plenty of provisions fr so long a voyage as to Boston, and otic red in case there was. any want to supply him w ith anv thiug on board the frigate. He then wished Capt. B. a good pas-age, left him und pursued his own course.- Phil, Oc:,
Illinois. We have seen a letter from Illinois, w'hich mentions an alfair that places tlie judiciary of tliat state in no very favourable point of view. It seems that a Mr. Thomas Revnohls, holding a commission as Chief Justice of the State, in Dec. last, assaulted a gentleman in the: stre ets of Kaskaskia, stepping silently up behind him, and striking him with a cudgel a scutlle ensued but before either ot the combatants received much injury, a sheriff and constable interfered and separated them. If we recollect aright, this same Mr. Justice He.v nobis is the man who, about a ear sinc e, led the mob at Yandalia, the seat of government of Illinois to burn a member of the Legislature in efh'gv lor his exertions to prevent sue h an alteration of the constitution of the state as would permit the introduc tion of slaves. The Chief Justice, we understand i a full blooded Keli-
ftuckian; determined on the introduction
of slavery into Illinois, and ready Utjijjht any man who presumes to differ with him on the subject. The gentleman whom he assaulted in the streets of Kaskaskia, we learn, is the decided opponent of the infamous proposition for the introduc tion of slaves; and had written several cssavs (or ... i i a newspaper, ditinctly slating his views, and warmlv advocating the cause cd hu-
manitv, in which he might pos-iblv have been a little severe upon the Slav cites. This his honour, it seem-, took in high dudgeon; and, disregarding alike the oath ot office whic h bound him to be a conservator of the peace, and all respect and -ubmis-
! sion to the laws of the state, be has verv
redoubtably taken the law into his own hands,and resolved to cudgel his opponents to acquiesce in his opinions. Seriously, such conduct in a high judicial officer is disgraceful; and we trust, lor the honour of Illinois, that her judges are not generally of that stamp. A gross immorality and want of respect for the laws, in the higher officers of state!, inav generally he regarded as evidence of a laxity of morals in community; and the more particularly so in elective governments. Our younger stor, Illinois, has already shown some wantonness and loose desires in her
hankering after slaves; but vrith all her errors, it is to be hoped she is yet too chaste to permit this pugilistic Judge to retain his seat upon the bench. St. Law. Gaz. Chinese Liberality. Mr. Davis, in a learned paper on the civil institution of the Chinese, read before the Royal Society, states the following fact relative to the introduction of the vaccine innoculation into the "celestial empire." That the able physician, Dr. Pearson, wishing to follow up the philanthropic views of Dr. Jenner, sent out some of the vaccine virus to China accompanied with a pamphlet, transcribed into the Chinese language, containing full directions for the treatment of patients under the vaccine disease at the same time stating the discovery to be that of an
Englishman, and the great success it had met with in England. The Chinese Doctors, very soon after its arrival, published a new edition of Dr. Pearson's instructions for vaccination, forgetting to mention a single word that this invaluable discovery originated with any of the barbarians of the western world.

PRESIDENTIAL. We do not hesitate to say, that, among all the gentlemen known to be candidates for the presidency, John' Quincy Adams is our choice. We believe him to be in every respect at least as well qualified to till that station as any of his competitors. His talents fit him in an eminent degree to perform the duties of the office with digrity and credit to the nation. His moral character is unirnpeached. He is the: only gentleman spoken of, (if our information be correct.) who has not been in some degree accessary to the crime of dwlling, He is the only person known to be a candid. ite who is unconnected with, and of course uninfluenced by the shtithtdding interest; and we have every reason to believe: liirn to he a firm friend to the prosperity and true interest of our country. His enemies can find hut little to say against him. without referring hack to certain things whic h transpired in his youthful davs, aid coupling them with a few of his father's transactions, some 30, 40 or 50 ears ago, not at all applicable to the present state of things, which is a sure indication of their being hard run for materials to oppose him with. To such w e would only observe that, if his faithful vcrvices during the many ye ars in which he has been empl ived lo transact
some of the most important concerns of the I nation, including the most critical periods j we have experienced since our struggle for
independence his marly and noble defence of our conduct and rights, he no evidence of fiis attachment to our ii titutio: s and form of gov eminent, we will con le-s ourselves to be at a losj to know what would be evidence of such facts. lrriwn Ti lt ?.
