Can. 100 5 1 37; 55 67e 60 65 Is It is confidently stated, that the Governor and De puty Governor of the Bank have requested and obtained ar. interview with the CHANCELL^R of the EXCHSQUILIt t at which they represented the difficulty which the Bank would find to supply money to pay off the Exchequer Bills, which would probably be in course of payment at the end of the Quarter :—That while those Bills were, from the g►eat scarcity of money, likely to fall below p •r, it WAS unlikely that the holders of them would, when they are called in, be content to exchange them fur other Exchequer Bills in preference to money ; and that such a large demand for money was, therefore, to be foreseen, as would render it impossible for the Bank to meet without inconvenience to its own interests. What truth there may be in the statement that this representation has taken place we know not, but we deny the consequence asserted to be the necessary result, namely, that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER bas no other remedy than to fund a large proportion of Exchequer Bills. We should think the more obvious remedy would be, first to issue a new set of Exchequer Bills at higher interests and this we conceive is necessary to prevent those now in the market from falling to a very heavy discount. When the ordinary rent of money in the funded securities is better than 3a per cent. it is not tube expected that Exchequer Bills, on unfunded stock, how ever convenient as a ready money security, will main-1 taln their ground at less than 21 per cent. On a pledge being given to the Bank that such an arrangement would be proposed to Parliament, it is not to be sup posed that the money to pay off the Exchequer Bills re. tuned, ss ould be withheld. And this measure would, no doubt, tend to repair the temporary evil resulting from a scarcity of money, which it cannot be denied prevails at present to an alarming eattllt. At a late hour we received the Etoile of yesterday by Express. It contains no domestic or foreign intelli gence importance, unless a long account t f the cere monial of the nuptials of Prince MAXIMILIAN of Saxony to the Princess of Lucca, or the report that Prince WIL LIAM of Prussia will:not depart for his Government at Ma)ence until spring, may be considered such. M. De LEIDIRMANN has been appointed Minister Plenipoten tiat y from Prussia to the Court of Spain. The King and Qu• en of SARDINIA arrived at Genoa on the 6th instant. A Sardinian vessel from Lisbon, richly laden, had been driven on the coast. The Atoik contains a very long article, of more than page, on Spain and America, in which it seems to at ttibute all the political changes that have taken place in the Old and New World, to the French Revolution, which, it states, entirely altered the a,- pect of society. Spain is accused .of committing two. great faults, in joining France in acknowledging the independence of the United States, and in ceding Lc uisi ana to BONAPARTE, which led in its being transferred tithe United States. The war in Portugal, which drove the House of BRAGANZA to Brasil, is another fault; abet thl institution of Juntas and popular Governments In Spain, is remarked a, is.dangerous example to the American provinces. In discussing the means left to Spain, in her present situation, the Etoili thinks the Colonies might have been brought again under Spanish dominion. had not England and the United States recognised their tridependence, but that to reconquer them is in( practicable ;in this we perfectly agree. The Editor cannot make up his mind to the recognition of those States by Spain, at pre sent, but as he promises another article, in which he will shew the way for Spain to conciliate her own interests and those of the rest of Europe and America, we hope it will be by recommending a speedy recognition of every colony that has established its inde pendence, since to this complexion Spain must come at last, and every delay increases the animosities and strengthens the power of the sew Republics. The Dutch are very unfortunate in securing the friendship or subordination of their Colonies, which are and have almost invariably been discontented. This is extraordinary, as there is nothing in the national chaiac ter of the Dutch, as exhibited at home, to justifiat sus picion that they are a more tyrannical people than the , rest of Europe, In former times the Dutch Governors played sad- antics in their colonial possessions, but whether it is to a continuance of ill-treatment or mis management, or to a prejudice founded on former op pressions, that we the to attribute the insurrections which we learn have broken out in the Dutch East India Colonies, we know not. It appears by the Datarian newspapers and private letters which have been received to the 3d of August, that an unexpected disturbance had broken out in the Residency of Djocjokarta. It had been observed by the Resident, that a Prince, called Di e° Neoax°, one of the tutors of the young Sultan, who is a minor,. had assembled a great number of people at his resi• dente, and it was suspected that some insurrectionary ) movement was in contemplation, particularly as the Prince refused to explain the motives of this proceeding. At last, on the 21st of July, the Resident haring thought it his duty to order his appearance, he opposed the armed force sent against him, and made his escap-, along with another Pangerang, called ?el ANIEOE BOEM lE, with whom he was in league: ....The two Princes, along w!th their troops, took up a positiOn at a little distance from the residence of the Sultan, where they.were at tacked by a detachment of Dutch troops on the 27th of July, s ithout any decisive result. The insurgents were for the time dispersed, and fled whenever the Dutch forces made. a demonstration of attacking thens On the receipt of this intelligence, the Lieutenant• Go-, vernor sent order. to the Governor of Samarang (the capital of the eastern district), to take all necessary precautions to prevent the evils which might arise from this incipient rebellion. On the. 29th, his Excellency himself reached Samarang, and immediately set out for Sourakarta, the capital of what is called the em pire or dominions of the Su-su-bunang cf Java.— There he is said to have found all friendly, and to have procured a reinforcement of Imperial troops to join his own against those of the rebellious Governors of the Sultan. Detachments of the garrisons of Sa marang and Wittev cede had likewise marched towards the seat of the insurrection. Even at Djocjokarta tran quillity was said to be re-established s hen the last ac counts came away, but this seems doubtful, from the parade that is made of the circumstance, that the mother of the Sultan, and one of his remaining guar dians, had remained true to their Dutch alliance. The insurgents are said to have spread themselves over the Dutch Province of Kadoe, and to have been successfully attacked and dispersed whereVer they could be met by a Dutch detachment. In addition to these native risings, the Sdltan of Soo loo had declared war, and his army had approached within thirty miles of Samarang. General Ds Koca had immediately quitted the capital with a strong force to meet the enemy. The Sooloo Islands are a chain of islands extended in a northeast and south-west direction from the north-eastern extremity of Borneo to the west ern extremity of Magindana. The natives are stated to be a warlike race. Various other native tribes had de clared against the Dutch power, and it appeared that a general rising against the Europeans had been planned. The Chinese of Ponkeina, a Duch settlement on the west coast of Borneo, had also rebelled and murdered the Europeans, and various other districts were also in a state of revolt. The following is an extract of a letter : “ Bavavta, Aunerr I. ” The Sultan of Soolo has declared war against the Dutch, and by the last accounts his armiai,were only 20 miles from Samarang. It is supposed the Emperor of Jug-Jug-Jarta would join him. Everything is confusion here. General De Kock, the Lieutenant. Governor, has set off express to join the forces. The Buggeese, at Macassar, are in revolt. The Chinese, and inhabitants of Pontianna and Bangennassin, are also in rebellion, and have massacred their respective Residents. It appears the Government of this place are most peculiarly unfortunate." Tbis forenoon New York papers to the Ist instant, and Boston papers to the 29th ult. v ere received at the North and South American Coffee-house. One of these, the Boston Daily American 'statesman of the 28th of October, states that all the cedar and spruce swamps, together with all the prairies and marshes, from the Cascades in Lower Canada, to Glengarry in Upper Canada, are on fire. The fire is said to extend back nearly fifty miles from St. Lawrence, about the same distance up, making 2,500 square miles of land bn fire• In swamps it burns from two to five feet. It affects both man and beast—cattle are said to be dying off in droves, and it so affects the eyes and lungs of people, that business of all kinds is nearly suspended. Fires are also said to have been lately raging in New Ireland and New Jerusalem, In New Brunswick. Th.! back settlements had all been destroyed—thoae at Bar tibog and Nappau, and many cottages between Nel son and Chatham ; the towns of Newcastle and fionglas, leaving not more than twenty houses stand ing on that side of the river. The lives that were lost it was impossible to ascertain. The wild beasts from the woods were seen dead upon the shore, and thou. , sands of fish were floating about. Many lelple were compelled to fly into the water to escape the flames, and perished in the attempt. There were no less in the whole than 1.500 persons in want of shelter, food, and clothing. The fire had ran over an extent of 100 miles in length, and 40 in breadth. The loss sustained at Fredericton, was estimated at 130,000 dollars. Sub- scriptions were raising in New York for the sufferers by the fire at Miramichi—a calamity truly calculated to excite the sympathy of the whole civilized world. Governor Tame, who lately distinguished himself by his threat ening a dissolution of the Union, has been re-elected in Georgia. These Papers contain intelligence of a late date from se veral part. of South America, including accounts from Lima of the 51st July. At that period, Gen. Roast. still held the Castle of Callao. The English frigates Toasts and Barrow visited that fortress ou :be 29th July, when their Commanders,Capt. Blows and Sir M. Marwatt,were permitted to go on shore by the Governor, who got up a splendid entertainment for them, probably with the view of creating an impression that his garrison was able to sustain a much longer siege. Roan. had positively rejected all offers to treat on the pan of the Colombian General, and continued to keep np the spirits of his troops by propagating stories of the successes of the Royal arms in Upper Peru. A letter from Callan, of a less recent date, states, that tbe gar rison had several times attempted to revolt, and it is asserted that in one of these attempts, the Colonel of the battalion of Are quipa had been shot. It is stated that the army of Roam loses at least ten men daily, by disease, execution, and desertion to the besieging army. On the 7th of July, two boats, with twelve men each, made their escape from the Castles and surrendered to the national frigate Protector. The works against the Castles were in forwardness. Bogota Papers to the 18th September, announce that Dr. Goat. ' Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in the Republic of Colombia, was to leave Bogota on the loth of October, for Panama, and that two representatives from the Republic of Peru sailed from Chorillos on the sth of June, to assist at the General Congress. Bottva R himself was expected to reach Panama by the middle of December. Caraccas Papers to the sth of October had been re ceived at Baltimore, stating that the canvass in that State for the Presidency of the Republic of Colombia, closed on the 4th, when BoLnaa was unanimously chosen Presid ent, Dr. Comma. Motu- DO2A Vice-('resident. The brig Plicebe, arrived at Baltimore, in thirty-four days from Bahia, and twenty-four from Pernambuc►, had brought intelligence that a few days before she sailed, great rejoicings took place at Bahia, in consequence of the acknowledgment of the independence of Brazil by Portugal.

The attention of the coachman being immediately directed to the horses, he did not observe that the lamp bad been forced through the body of the coach without having extinguished the light, and that the lining of the coach bad been so completely ignited, that the body was nearly consumed before the Moses could be extinguished. The Chevalier LINQUITI, Director of the Royal Asylum for the insane at Aversa, and celebrated for his skill in the treatment of cases of insanity, died on the 17th September last. The principle of LiNovirt's treatment was, to consider his patients as sane; and occupation and amusement formed the basis of his sys tem of cure, which he practised very successfully. According to private advice: from Gibraltar of the 51st ult. an order had just been promulgated to take away from all Geeoese and Swedish built vessels which had been sworn to as Bri tish property, their English coloors. The exact reason for this had not transpired, but it was supposed that the flag had been used to cover other property, and it was imagined this order would have some effect on the smuggling trade along the Spanish coast. as the privateers,cruizing under the Colombian flag were continually cap turing crart with Spanish property on board, even within reach of the guns of the garrison. The accounts received at Gibraltar from the Barbaky Coast state that the country in those parts was in a most distrAsed condition in consequence of want of wheat, the harvest having entirely failed.

THE CHURCH IN INDIA. BOMBAY, Moo 28. Sunday last, being Whitsunday, the Bishop of Cal. cutta preached a sermon in St. Thomas's Church, for the benefit of the " Incorporated Society for the Pro. pagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts." The collet. tion made in the Church amounted to nearly 1900 rupees, besides intimations from some of the principal persons of their intention to enter their names on the following day. The day following, a meeting Was held in St.Thomas's Church, the Bishop in the chair. The Honourable the Governor moved the thanks of the meeting to she Bishop, for his sermon preached the day preceding, with a request that he would allow it to be printed. This was seconded by the Chief Justice, and carried unAni. mously. The Bishop having returned thanks, and expressed his assent to the request made to him, then proceeded to open the business for which the meeting was assembled, viz. to propose the formation of a do. trict committee of the Society tbr the Propagation at the Gospel; which proposal was agreed to, and plies adopted for the guidance of the Committee. Th.mks were again given to the Bishop for his exertions on:hi and all occasions in the cause of humanity and L' e Christian religion; and a subscription for the purpc.es of the Society was then made, to the amont i); 7,000 rupees of donation, and 1,500 rupees of arri.Jal subscription.

Four shillings and four-pence, British coin, are to be considered equi. Talent to the Spanish dollar ; the inhabitants to have the privilege of demanding from the Officer of the CO 11. amisar iat bills on the English Ts easury for' 001 i for 1031. of the new coin circulated.
