The Arkansas Gazette - Volume 1, Number 1


July 23.
Lord Sidmouth has addressed circular letters to the Lords Lieutenant of the manufacturing counties, directing them to give orders to the yeomanry cavalry to hold themselves in readiness to assist the magistrates in the preservation of the pubic peace.

Don Onis proceeded from Paris on the 11th July for Madrid. The last Madrid papers say it is confirmed that he is to be prime minister of Spain.

Intelligence from Berlin states that ‘recent investigations in Prussia and other countries have proven the existence of secret democratical societies, whose proceedings are of a treasonable nature.’ A complete plan of a republican constitution had been seized in Germany.

Parliament was prorogued on the 13th, to the 24th of August.

From the N. York Commercial Advertiser, of August 11.
We have received from our correspondent at Bermuda, a file of the Bermuda Gazette, to the 28th of July. In the paper of the 24th we find the following of Commodore Perry: -

“The American schooner of war Nonsuch, went into Carlisle Bay, Barbados on the 5th inst. with dispatches to Admiral Campbell, from commodore Perry, who was cruising to windward of that Island in quest of some pirates, of whom it would seem information had been received.”

The same paper contains a letter from Nassau, addressed to the editor, of which the following is a copy: -

“One pirate has already been executed, and two more will meet the same fate on the 19th inst. The Grand Jury has brought in a bill against the invincible Sir G. M’Gregor, who stands charged with aiding and abetting piracy, by issuing commissions in the Bahamas to subjects of powers in amity with Spain. But I suppose this will be chase after a wild-goose.”
