Havana. ? Di'cct accounts rereived
at F ib>cola t>om Cu ji, present a la*
mentable pictui e of the siate ot affair*
in that island. The ayatcm of prnacnp
tion had been extended to females,
and ev;ry woman who appeared in the
streets with any part of h? r dress of
the color calle iMof the constitution,"
was immediately stripped by the low
est of the rabble, " guided by the
monk*, who encouraged (he populate
in the perpetration of these infamies."
All officer* in Havana who five years
ago were active in promoting thr con
stitution, even though they had s;n; e
beta pardoner* for that offence, were
u<mer orders for arrest, and it was known
that similar orders had been received
from Spain renpecting private individu
al*, whim, however, were not to be ? n
, forced till the military wore fiurged.
. The philanthropic Bishop ot H v?na
had b^en ordered to Madrid; but aware
of the cons-quence il Ferdinand got
hi-n there he feigned aickness, and his '
popularity rendctii g it unsalc to use
f'?r'*r,\he governor imposed a fm?- on
him <>f fo-ir thousand doilart tor disobe

FOREIGN EXTRACTS.
S x'jr of the principal banking and
commercial hou&eu of Paha had pre- j
seived an andress to the king, in which
the? rntrei ed his majesty, aticr ihe ex
an.p e of England, lo tend consul* to
S utli America, and to make commer
cial treaties with ?ll the nations where
F ci.cn vessel- had liberty to enter. Tht

a similar address, and all the chambers
of commerce in the kingdom were art

rived in Patts to as?isf at the ceremony.
A nutnoer ot promotions were <o take

applications had been made for peer
ages.
It was rumoured that General Vi?es,
Captain General of Cuba, wa? to be re

where were incalculable.
Int?t pmvin e of Upper Hesse, 9
or K',000 people are at?out to emigrate

Brazil.
A very affecting trial for forgery
took place at Bt'&ilol. Mr. Savaty, a
young man, the son of a rrspectable
banker of that city, plead guilty at the
bar to a chnrge of forcing a bill of < x
changf, sigr?t-d with a fictitious tumc.

Topars, d: u<>kar s ai.d swaggerers!

(f then thai lover dumand* why Stingo
rose against ardent spirits, this i? my
answer ? nm that I love ardent apirits
le?s. but that I loved health and sound
constitution more. Had you rather that
ardent spirit* were ruling, and die all
rum burnt knaves, than that ardent
spirits were contemned, to live atout,
hardy yeomen? As ardent spirits were
1 pleasant, I tasted them; as they were
' exlulirating, I sipped them; as they
recruited my spirits, I <'rank ihtm; but
as they wnc ruinous, I -pi.rneit them.
There are tast for ihrir pleasantness,
sips fur their ex i ili ration, drams f??i
their recruiting powtr*; but banish
ment and detestation for their ruinuu
tendency.
Who is here, so brutal at would be
a drunkard? IT any, gulp, hiccup, reel;
, fur him have I offended. Who ib h- rt
so foolish a? to be a *w?gg' rer? It any,
brawl; for him have 1 offended. W no
is here so mad that will not mind hib
health? If any, let lover apeak hi* burp
ing rage; tor hirn h.*ve I offended. I
pause for a reply. None. Then none
have I offended. I have done no more
to ardent spirits than you shoulo do to
Stingo The act ot their oanishment
is re? ordrd in the private pages of
Stingo'* journal; their usefulness not
extenuated wherein they were worthy;
nor th?M? injurious tendency eufurced
tor which th< y were banished.
Mere comes the dealer in ardent
spirit*, motirmng over a broken junk
bottle, who though he had no hand tn
its destruction, shall reap advantage
from the los?; a piece of silver in its
ste-id; and .- hich of you will not?
With thio I depart, that as I banished

'lent*, I have reset ved the tame puniah
ment for myself, whanevcr it shall
