Itevereux's Legion.—iWe are happy to be informed, from the beat authority, that the late disturbance io this town origina ted from no spirit ofviolenee or insubordina tion among the Irish legion of general Devcreux; a legion winch has conducted it self with particular moderation, ,-ir.d has 'preserved that degree of order which it was almost impossible to have previously expected from a numerous body of men, who cannot yet be in a state of strict dis cipline. The affair arose from a treat giv on by the crews »f some vessel* of file U. States to these worthy and spirited fellows, whose object is to give freedom to their American brethren tu the southern conti nent. Elevated by the entertainment, they hail received, they were returning to their quarters, when a lew perceiving an unfortunate woman in the hands of the watchmen, undertook to liberate her, and forgot, for .1 moment, the respect thev ow.-d to the -police of the town, in that gal lantly which is the characteristic of tli'ie country. They were joined in (his acci dental exploit by an officer, not of geo. Ilevereux’s legion, but in his majesty's service, who has since been liberated, on bail. We may add to this, that the con duct cf Dtvereux’s legion has been consid- red to be exemplary, by many ol the most Highly respected person* in the town, and that some who viewed.the essemb’agr of so many men with jealousy are, from tiie con duct of the individuals composing that le gion, become convents to this mode of re inforcing the armies of the independents fetv day* past there ha* l.eena strong dis position U huv; a-id Uplands ami Nnv Or leans have be-n s.-lliog again at improv. d price-; the ini.Idling and good qualities are must in request, and hive advanced j 1 ' pe r lb.

There ha* been an extensive demand To* pi tnUti.in sugar, and tt.e sides of the week «ac gsltmated to exceed #<*> hhdi at ad the first political inl'oi matio.i, and they dis tinctly state, that the treaty made with loe U. States, for the transfer of the two Florida} had not been ratified by his Catholic Majesty, further adding that theie was not the least probability, for the present, of its’ receiving the royal sanction. On this cu rious and important matter great demurs uavc recently taken place, and it has beet, t emed singular that the Spanish negoci- ator *fthe treaty (now in London) should have quitted the seat of the Federal gov ernment before the finish had been put to his v.trk. The whole transaction lias been an extremely boisterous and complicated one, but since the first arrangements were made, great obstacles liavo occurred. On the one hand, it is thought ^;.ain Ins been -old, that if she cedes the F crid.ts to one power, she r.iust cede Cul*i to anothei; whilst it is on the other side rumored lliai the United States find encumbrance- in the shape ol grants of territory, which were not anticipated. In the whole n> gn- ciation a great degree of finesse has been used, but time will show which pirtylns been the dupe.—Ferifcand’s government is well aware how much the United St.t - .'oert the Florida*, and he mil, if he con. impose condition* beyond those of iiciira:. ity. Spain failed in her negotiation* r.l the congress to reuse Europe against .S ul'.i kuicrica; she will now endeavor to sell, under the best bargain*, part ot her wes tern empire, in order not to lose *he who'e. and we shall be happy event..ally t<> find, that the ForeignEulistment Bill is untune of the branch.-* of her crooked policy.— Of this, however, she may be certain, that if on such an exhibition of the oftair as the President will feel himself compelled to make to congress, it should appear that *nv undue influence hr. been used to ivitl 'mill the ratification, the popular cry will •re to take the Florida* by farce, for im- inei:«e sums have already been laid oat by individual* in land speculations, and ;great preparation* made for settling there.— Morn. Citron. London, June 26. It is asrrious fact, that in the last year IS17-18, the trade from America to Chinn employed 7,000,000 dollar*, and 16,000 tons of shipping: during the same time th>. Bri:i*h trade to China occupied 6.300,000 •I..Kars,and 20,000 tons shipping; conse quently, allowing that the American mer chant receives his return m the course of oney ar, while the British requires nearly tw;>ye.->ri—the American trade to China i* already more extensive than ncrown — U'e state this important fact on the autho rity of diaries Assey. esq. late secretary to the government of Java, author of an aMe pamphlet, “On the trade to China, and the Indian Peninsula.” June 28.

On Wednesday M. Manuel strongly recom mended the entering into commercial re lations with the independents of Smith A- inertca, and the negociation of a treaty with the governxienl of Hayti, with the view of securing some indemnity to the unfortunate excolonists of that Island, and re-opening its ports to French commerce. ILs speech was ordered to be printed. The Florida tr.-atv passed the United States senate about 2L*d February, and the ratification was to take place in b mouths. Mr. Forsyth arrived in Madrid about 4th May,and up to the 10th inst. no progress had been made, but fresh ob-txrles had arisen. Nothing, however, authentic is known on the subject of the difficulty,'but no all sides it is rumoured that Spain will not be allowed to make a single bat-grin, and a variety of circumstance* have led the pbiic mind towards Cuba.. t i lea of ucr holding away over Cuba, or of ner long retaining in a slate of subjection the vast country stretching on the Atlantic from cape Horn to tne Florida*, and from t’ie tnrinertoCaro]ina,on tne Pacific with •ut a navy is preposterous. Her moral in llui nee in those region* is lost or fast sub Hidings and her physicial influence is near ly broken.

Letters from Cadiz were received by the post of yesteiday, stating that severs' of tile British transports had been dischar ge !, not front their being no longer wan :ed, but because the captains would not submit to new conditions (he Spaniard wished to impose upon them. It appears that the experience acquired by the puv dliase of the rotten Ilu.sian ships has mad the Cadiz committee extremely cautiou and they now insist on the British ship being stripped before -they proceed to sea though mine of them were fresh copper, before they left this country. With thi the captains refused to comply. A Hamburgh paper gives, as tr. the total of ill" army iml navy if tne Russian Em rive, 863,000 men, of which number 75,000 ire <"-i :.en.

In the introduction to a mo- lern system of etymology there i* a des cription of the process by which the spider weave* its web. After dcscnbii.g the four spinners as (hey are termed, (ruin which the vi*lble threads proceed, the wit ter makes the following curious observa- mins:—“These arc the machinery, through which, by process more singular than ttiat .it rope spinning, the thread is drawn.— Each spinner i* pierced like the plate a wire-drawer wit., a multitude of holes, so numerous and exquisitely fine, that a sp ire not often bigger than a pin point in cludes a thousand. Through eacli of these i.ilcs proceeds a thread of an inc<mc<-iva- ufc tenuity, which, immediately alter issu ing from the orifice, unite* with oil these threads from the same spinner into one Hence from each spinner proceeds a com pound thread; and tnese four threads at the distance of about one. tenth of co inch from the apex ol the spi-mcr again unit- - , ind form tlie thread wo are accu*t.nned r* see, which the spider uses in funning it* web. Thus a spider’s well, even spun hr toe smallest specie* and when so fine that it is almost impracticable to our senses, w not. as we suppose a single tine, but a rope composed of at lea-t 4<KiO strands. But, tu follow all the wonders of this fact, we must follow Leuwenhuecrk in one ol hi* calculations on the subject. Thi* renown- misroscope observer found, by an acruiatu estimation, that the threads ol the spider*, some of which are not larger than u grain »f sand, are so fine that 4,WO,009 of them would not exceed in thickness one of the. hairs uf his beard.
