NORFOLK, August 18.

Yesterday arrived in Hampton Road, the Ship George, of Boston, Silas Daggett, master, in 35 days from Cadiz; by him we learn that the people of Spain having expressed great alarm and uneasiness at being kept in ignorance of what was doing in France, the minister thought it best to allow them the liberty of speaking freely on political subjects; in consequence of which the French Constitution had become the subject of common conversation in all the coffee houses and places of public resort:—That the king of Prussia had withdrawn his troops intended to act against France, in order to keep a watchful eye over the conduct of the Empress of Russia, with regard to Poland: That the Marquis la Fayette was carrying all before him—and that wherever he penetrated into the Austrian dominions, the people had declared in favour of the French constitution.
