By the arrival of Capt. Grafton, from Havana, mentioned in our last, we are informed that the Spanish government is extremely rigorous in executing its commercial edicts; several persons, (among whom are one or two Americans) detected in the breach of them, having been sentenced to three years slavery in Vera Cruz.
Among the prohibited articles, at the Havana, the produce of the United States is included. Several vessels, with flour, which arrived there some time ago, were neither allowed to sell their cargoes, nor to carry them away, till it should be known that a sufficient supply was received, or like to be received, from Spain.
