" Tell e very thing you car) (repl.** the undaunted widow) it U all the lame to me, for I expert no redrels at his hands." The king aicom panied her as far as her cabin : being delir t>us to examine -the mifchief and injury he had occalioned, he got an estimate made of it by two neighbouring peasants who were as little acquainted with his person as the wi dow. He then drew from his purl'e the whole of what money he had about him ; he rewarded the arbitrators, and gave the re mainder to the widow, who was also indem nified far beyond any damage of which Ihe had complained.

The Queen, on her return from an excursion of pleasure, went into his apartment, and ri diculed and fcoffed the cause of his uneasi ness.

Upon this answer, so truly worthy of a King, the Queen withdrew. » Ah !" continued Ferdinand, « with what pleasure would I not redeem the lives of my unfortunate Calabrians and Meffinians even at the loss of my whole family.

CHARLESTON, March 18. From a gentleman who came paflVnger in the Eliza, from Cadiz, we have received information, that previous to her departure two mailt had arrived at Cadiz, from Ma drid : accounts by the firft dated, that the court of Madrid had tefufed to grant per mission tQ an army of the French Republic to pass through Spain, to attack Portugal; but the lad mail stated, that the French am baffhdor had delivered in a note, in which he said, that if the demand he had made was not complied with, he had dire&ions to to leave Madrid ; in confrquence of this, the permiflion was granted. It was expefled that gen.- Perignon would command the army agaiitft Portugal. Several a&ions had taken place on the frontiers of Naples, between the troops of France and Naples, but nothing of a deci sive nature. The Ruffian army had made no progress towards Germany. The Ger man Empire had concluded peace with the French Republic. Just before the Eliza left Cadiz, a court martial broke up, which had engaged much of the attention of the inhabitants of that city,ind of all Spain. Several general of ficers were charged with having delivered up the fortrefs of Figueras to France, du ring the late war between France atid Spain. Three of these generals were sentenced to fufFer death ; several others were broke, Sc fentenccd to long imprisonments. Oie of the generals sentenced to dif, is a general O'Neal, an Irishman, who was highly ref peftcd. There was hardly a doubt but that the fentenceß would be carried into execu tion, as, on an application made in their fa vor by the French imnifter, to the prince of peace, he was anft.*)ed, that the Spanifti army had so long been in a diforganize4 state, and discipline had so little been atten d*d to, that it was necessary some example* should be made. By the arrival from the Havanna we learn that accounts had been received there from Spain, which dated, that an attack was to be made on Cuba, by the British, in confluence of which every exertion was making to put the harbour of the Havanna in a (late of defence ; that the duty of 21 per cent, cn rice had been taken off, and that article had risen from three to five dol lars per hundred. Yesterday failed from this harbour, the French Cartel brig Rnmain, for Guada loupe. In this vessel, the four Frenchmen and one woman, who were arretted in the Hamburgh brig Minerva, and afterwards were confined in Fort-Pinckncy, went pas sengers. From the circumstance of their be ing released in th b manner, it is probable that the papers which were found conceal ed, in their' pofTeffion, did not contain any thing of a nature hofiile to this country. Saturday arrived the Hoop Sallys Antho" ny, Havanna 9 days ; schooner Eleanor, Frew, frum Baltimore, in distress, out II days, having loft her foremaft andbowfprit, bound to Curracoa ; fchooncr Betsey, M'llhepny, Wilmington, (n. c.j 7 days.; fchr.
