from the Liverpool Chronicle of the 8th of
December, tluu Snelson, the late Teller of
tho Petersburg Bank, has been arrested at

Successful Pursuit—Nathaniel Snelson, Tel
ler of the Discount-office of the Bank of Virgi

nbout $40,000, chiefly in Virginia bank notes
of $100 each, and bills upon some houses in
•Liverpool,' was traced tiirough the Uuited
Sines to Quebec, where lie took his passage
on board the Mary Cumming, bound to this
port, which sailed on tho 2d November, twelve
hours before bis pursuer reached that place.
Notice nf there circumstances, with copies of
n handbill describing his person and offering a
reward of $500 for his apprehension and safe
dolivery : ’to the jailor of the town of Petersburg,
from which he had absconded, were forward

SPAIN. ,
Madrid, November 22.
There is nn^icr insurrection, which is nci-
tbeiicliijjeral, In tho exclusive sense, nor apos-
tqJicalVYou have no doubt hoard of the sect
' styled “Lest Labradores del Bosqiie,” (La
bourers of- the Wood,) which seems to gain
daily rooro consistency in many provinces.—
Tho object of this sect is, by all possible means,
to rovivc the ancient Constitution ofjthe Cor-
tds of Castile, wliichjfoll into destruction ow
ing to. tho encroachments of power. It pur
poses to force the majority of tho nation to
demand of the King a Convocation of this
Assembly according to tho States and orders.
This convocation would resemble that of the
States General of Franco in 1788, and it is
perhaps .by this concession of tho Monarch
who. is said not to be adverse to it, that our
lv political regeneration may commence. This
would even be tho shortest way to prevent
bbth the ptfoplo and the Sovereign from ex
claiming against usurpntion. TbiS startling
point, although apparently a retrograde one,
would be better than that of 1812—wo speak
.of 'the .Cadiz Constitution;- but it seems that
tho Magistracy is of a different opinion on this
. head, for tho Chamber of Alcaldes of the Court
^having been seized at the time of tfio com'
human Ben Muhemct Burgas Errebaty. She
is of small dimensions, and does not sail so
well. Both are bound on a cruise, but I have
lint yet becu able to discover their special dc-
stinction. I suspect that {hey intend to at
tack our trade by way of reimbursement of a
Morocco ship condemned at Cadiz in 1823,
and, rs Several lineals have been held out a-
gainst me, I deem it my duty to inform you
timt these vessels will soon be put to sea.”

Madrid, December 7.
Their Majesties loft Tarragona on the 3d,
and reached Villa Franca the same day, in
good health. Tho accounts say they were
every where received with enthusiasm, and that
tho rebellion was put down. The following
decree was published by the king on the 30th
Nov.
“The prompt submission with which the in
surgents tn this district have responded to my
paternal voice, and the measures 1 have ta
ken to secure in it tranquility and good order,
with all their attendant benefits, have happily
put a termination, on this soil, to civil war,
excited by seduction and deceit; and declaring
myself indebted to Divine Providence for this
triumph of peace, I Imvc resolved that Te Doom
shall be solemnly chaunted in all the churches
of my dominions, to give thanks to God for so
signal a favor, and to implore the assistance of
his omnipotence to preserve the complete feli
city of tho monarchy, the only object of my
wishes. Let this be understood anil commu
nicated to all to whom its fulfilment belongs.”
[Sealed by tho .loyal hand.]
Barcelona has been made a port of Deposit,
with tho same privileges as those conferred on
Santander, Corunna, Cadiz and Alicaut, and
also under tho royal decree of 1818. This

Fire! Between ten and eleven o’clock’last
night, a fire originated in a grocery, we under
stand, two doors above Jefferson street, which
caused a dreadful conflagration. The fire
increased and extended itself to the several
buildings on that squire, and we tremblingly
gazed upon the venerable Government Mouse,
as it crumbled peacoineal under the power of
the devouring clement. After the flames had
spent their fury on the square between Jeffer
son and Toulouse streets, it sought new objects
of destruction, and attacked the beautiful pile
of buildings below Jefferson, extending to the
public square. Two squares of buildings are
in ashes! literally in ashes! It seemed as if
no human exertion could arrest the progess of
the fire.
$c- large portion of the papers belonging to
the Treasury, were saved; and the books
belonging to the different offices of State; though
they will he materially damaged by the disor
der. Many of the papers belonging to the
Legislature were also rescued. Of the amount
of property destroyed, it is impossible for us to
estimate now. Fortunately for the shipping,
and the town, the wind slumbered; and, at this
timo (three o’clock in tho morning) the fire
seems likely to be arrested^ It has been attri
buted to accidont altogether.
