Letters were received yes...
Letters were received yesterday from Havannah, dated April 7. In consequence ot a report that tbe Ceres, Spa- nish frigate, had been captured by two Colombian cor- vettes, a small squadron, consisting of four ships of war, had sailed from Havanush against them and an embargo had been laid on all other vessels in the port, in -order to prevent information being conveyed to the Colom- biaus. The sailing of these ships gave rise to a ru- inour that a landing was contemplated on the main of Co- lombia, or in some part of Mexico ; but there could be no motive, we conceive, in thie Governor of Cuba, to send out a mere marauding expedition; and to an armament destined for wvarlike operations, his mieans were alike unequal in men, imoney, and supplies of every kind. Extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd's, diIQ Ha- vannah, April 1:-" The Telegrapk, Raux, froin Bor- deaux, was detained off the Cape de Verds, manned, and sent into this port on the. 25th ultimo, by the Spanish armed brig Romano, having found in her warlike stores, bound for the coast of Lima." DOVER, May 13.-Arrived his MXaje-ty's steam-packet the Arro-, with twvo carriages and 70 passengers; also the Spitfire, with five carriages and a number of passengersm An open boat, with despatches,axriv4 this aftemnoon: they were immediately forwarded to London. Several Spaniards, emanat wham was a Field Officer, btely belonging to General 31ina's army, landed here to-day from C5abiis. On Thursday, a ste.am-boat, purchased for the King oI Denmark and most splendidly decorated and fursished, sailed from the river for Copenhagen, in which his Majersty and family are to embark to visit Jutland and other places in the course of the sum- mer. It is manned by British seanen, with a Captain of the Danish navy, and accompanied by Alr. Gillespie, a Scotch engineer, to Eu. perintend the machinery. A curious circumstance occurred in the quadrangle of tbe Royal Exchange on Thursday. As the workmen were lowering the statue of Charles 1. from one of the niches on the north side, for the purpose of eleaniRg, &c., the head came off*, dose to the shoul- ders. In this state the headless trunk was taken to the statuary. The Berwick Advertiser says, " A seal of a most enor_ mous size, in this part of the wvorld, was caught sosie days ago, near the mouth of the Tweed, by some of our fishermen. When the creature bolted up from the water its large glaring eyes almost terrified the men who were near it. When killed and cut up there were found in its stomach nearly half a aImon recently swallowed aud part of another decayed by digestion. lts weight was gupposCt to be aoat. 50 stone."
