It is now affirmed ALLATIN, who left town on Wednesday Dever, en his way to Paris, concluded a his departure, with the British Com- b 7 which all the chief points in nego r. ba , c been happily and satisfactorily adjusted. 4 4 ..ca of explanation has been given with re "" ^ the murder of our two unfortunate coun- ... _ was not transpired.—but it is said, that the "TY which has been in dispute ever since the - 1 7 or :he Earl of Sttacauauz, is now accurately an arrangement has taken place as to the '":k43 right of fishing on the shores of New- ...... —ancl that provisions are all.o 'agreed on zitice;irse of the vessels of tLc United Sates with the British West Indies. The only unsettled point we are told, is that of the right of visitation and seizure of seamen' found on board of. the ships of either country during war. We are informed, that on this point Mr. GA LLATIN was to refer the proposition which had been made by the British Commissioners to his Government. The Treaty itself, we presume, will not be made, public till the return of advices from America. The follo;ring Wan extract Of a private letter from Madrid, dated the 2d doober: gg There has been a talk of a voluntary or forced loan of seven and a half or ten millions. Every pro posal that has been made has failed. The Bank can not evtn pay the holders of its shares. The new Mi nister must have recourse to other measures. It is impossible to guess what plan he will adopt. He is placed between the necessities of the State and the fate of his predecessor. The public justly appreciate the embarassmelt in which he is, and even go so far as to hint at his successor, as well as the succession of the ikibrquis de Cara Irujo. This is premature;. however, the Ministry, as it is now composed, can evidently be but temporary. " M. Garay has arrived at Saragossa, where his Majesty has been pleased to leave him the direction ,of the Canal, with which he was charged before he iwas called to the office of Minister. M. Pizarro, it 'it laid, is not so well treated ; he is placed under ri 'gorons surveillance, and people even go so far as to say that it is intended to bring him to trial. Count de 31outijo is still in banishment at Burgos. " His Majesty the Emperor Alezanier, has been pleased to make our Sovereign' a present of three beautiful ft igates, which are every moment expected. It is said they are in the place of three of the ships bought in Russia, which were found to be in bad condition." We are enabled, by an arrival from Trinidad, to present our Readers to-day with a variety bf new and important information respecting the state of the contending parties in the South American Provinces. The struggle, on the part of FERDINAND, appears to be every day becoming more hopeless; and little doubt can now be entertained of the final and com plete success of the cause 9f Independence. We have received letters from Bombay to the 20th of June, by a vessel arrived at Liverpool. The army in the Deckan had gone into. cantonments to avoid the rains, and for repose after their long and fatiguing warfare. BADJEE RAo was a fugitive, and was said to have taken refuge in the Fort of Asseer Ghur.— lie had made offers to surrender himself on condi tions to SiiJonw MALOOLM. All the Jagheardars or Chiefs had returned to their homes, and the country promised to be quiet, except from a few dis contented intriguers, who had not in fl uence or poviOr td annoy the Government. Some few forts still held oat in the Kandeish, where t:?..Arabs had taken re fuge, arid at one of them, Kzllee•Gaurn, the army bad suffered some loss, but a strong battering train had been sent thither, by which it would soon be reduced. We have received to-day the following letter from Calais, from which it appears that the return of our Army froM France will not take place quite so soon as was expected, LI consequence of the Grand Review having been postponed from the 18th to the 23d inst. (this day) : CALAIS. OCTOBER 92. The baggage belonging to the different troops to be embarked here, is now being shipped. The em barkation was to have commenced on the 2.5 th, but this morning letters were received from II:ad-guar rers, stating, that the Grand Review was put off to the `23d inst. consequently the 4th and - sth Brig ades of Infantry will not be here before the 29th. They will be encamped sur la Commune de St. Pierre,_ near the low town. The 3d Brigade of Infantry w ill ar rive on the 30th. The Duke and Duchess of KENT. travc!ling under the names of the Earl and Countess of DUBLIN, ar rived at Strasbargh on the 16th instant. They are on their way to Bern to visit the Grand Duchess Cogsrairrltra of Russia, sister to the Duchess of KENT. The individuals of the Royal Household who re ceived presents from the Grand Duke :Victual, on his departure from England, have all been required' , to give them up to Mr. PARKER, Clerk of tbe Stables to the PRINCE REGENT. These presents consisted of valuable snuff-boxes, silver cups, watches, and money; and each person received the present designed for him in a packet (on which his name had been pre viously written) by the hands of the Baron NICIIOLAI, acting by command of his Imperial Highness. The whole, however, without any explanation whatever, are peremptorily required to be given up instantly. Captain llucitAK, of the Dorothea, is arrived in town, and had yesterday a long interview with the Board ,1 Admiralty on the subject of his late voyage to the NJI th Pole. Colonel NI CDGE, who is, in conjunction with MM.

CHARLESTON, SEPTEMBER 19. Loss OF THE snip GENFRAL Aitiastitoso.—The 1-11 1 3 General Armstrong. Captain Hill, sailed from this port on Monday last, bound to Havannah, in ballast. Nest day, on the outer edg* of the Gulph stream, discovered that the ship had sprung a leak, and on examination fonnd it originated from the opening of the garboard streak. Immediately all hands were called to the pumps, and endeavoured to keep . her free, but without effect. Captain Hill, find ing it impossible to proceed on his voyage, wore ship, and stood in for the land, an anchored off Folly Island, a little to the northward of the light-house, j on Thursday evening, where she remained until yes terday morning , both pumps going all the time ; but the leak gaining on her, she filled, and at 12 o'clock went down is four fathoms water. The new pilot boat Enterprize went to her assistance on Thursday evening, and remained by her until she went down ; a short time previous to which, she took off the pas sengers, officers and crew, and brought them up to the city last evening. They also succeeded in saving the greater part of her sails, her boats, and some of her running rigging. CUSTOVI-HOITSE„ LONDON, OCTOBER 22.

Tin QUESA • Right, Ifet MAJESTY continues alarmingly indispo'sed, Last night she scarcely slept at all, from an almost incessant cough, accompanied with much paiti ani fever. The Physicians, in consequence, did not quit the Boudoir the wholP night, and in the course of it they repeatedly yi►ited their august Patient, • " The PRINCE Reotssr did not leave the Palace till eleven o'clock at night, and the Princes t , es did not l 'retire to rest before midnight. " The Pm NCE REGENT aiiiveci again at the Palace about twelve o'clock this day, and had a long con versation.with the Physicians. After remaining about an hour at the Palace, his ROYAL-111C ttass prov.e , led on his journey to Brighton, bat intends ♦isiting his afflicted Parein again to-morrow. • " 'Throughout the day, her MAJESTY remained much as she has been these last three dap:. t"rhe Princesses walkod out d little to-day, but appeared much depressed i q the unfavoutabre state of their Royal Nl,,ther. The following Bu:kt!n was issued this cla'y " Kew Pa1.:82, Octobtr 23. " The QUEEN has had abetter night. The symp toms of her MAsEsTv's disease remain unaltered. (Signed) 44 F. MILLMAN." Her MAJESTY has suffered so much for the last three days,•and the exhaustion arising from the *ant of sleep is so great, that the most serious apprehen sions are entertained of her approaching demise. She has more than once miraculously recovered from symptoms almost as threatening as the present, but it is obvious that each return of the malady is accom panied Ly increased weaknesss, and consequently the case becomei more hopeless. THE ARMY. Yesterday, two more transports arrived at Dover, from Calais, with women, children, and baggage, be. longing to the British Army. • Report states, that a short Brevet will take place on the return of ot;r troops from the Continent, up to Colonels, but not to Major-Generals. The number of Lieutenants of the 10th Regiment has been reduced to twelve, and thb eizlit junior enes have been placed on half-pay. MANCHESTER, •OCTOBER 21. • nu TATE LETTEP, During the late turn-out, the Quilting-weavers ob tained an advance.of three-lulfpence per yard ; and this the. Masters, acting in concert with those in tl.e other Lranches of weaving, were desitous of tedue.n; : 7; and on Monday morning last, when the men went to one of the...principal houses, to take out their work, as usual, they were informed of the reduction (o;.e halfpenny per yard) intended to be made. In come qucnce of this, they would not receive out wer.k un til they had consulted with their brethren ;,—and a meeting accordingly took place on Monddy evening (as stated in a former letter). After some consultew tion, ir was very properly resolved to pese t a A re spertfidlrmemorial to the heads of the houses engaged in this privtitular branch, pointing out the EarclA , :ps, they (the workmen) labour .under, and the mart nie privations they endure, even at the present prices, and the determination they had come tn, of not sokruit ting to any reduction.' This, I gni ;sappy to say, - has had the desired effect : the Masters, yielding to 'lb, arguments of the men, so reFpectfnlly expressed, 'Ave given up their intension uili-edueing thetraand they have,- consequently, returned to their labour. A letter from Burnley staus, that a great nuniber of coarse or Jenny-sphaiers, have remained ; not (..f employment, ever since Ile late disturbances at that place, having refused to return. to their 0 . 410y/tient • without an advance. This, the writer remarkN.tney 'are in no likelihood of obtaining.; the. flatness clt the trade rendering it more probable that they will have to submit to a still further reduction. How these poor men, who have been so long out of employ, find .means to subsist, is matter of surprise to every one, as the money collected .for them, in various pihts of the kingdom, is understood to have been all expen ded some time since. Dnunit-LANE.—Last night PHILIEis Tragedy of The Distressed Mother was revived at this Theatre. The characters throughout were most excellent wcil sustained, particularly that of Orestes, by Mr. KEAN. When Mr. Banuattu came forward to announce the Play for Saturday, there was a loud call for KEAN. Mr. KEAN accordingly appeared, and was teceived with a general waving of hats and handkerchiefs. As soon as silence could be obtained, he said " Lad* and Gentlemen, with your permission this Play will be repeated on Saturday."— Phis announce ment was received NI ith shouts a applause. COVENT•QARDEN.--MitS SaIIERVILLE, who, it appears, is engaged, at this Theatre, to play Miss O'NELLL's characters occasionally, appeared last night for the first time. The character selected fo r h er dela, was Bianca, in the Tragedy of Fazio. The attempt to become the substitute. of M ss O'NEILL, is indeed a bold one, and under any circumstance the person who makes it will have numerous and appalling dif ficulties to encounter,• • These difficulties were expe rienced by Miss Sosnoviu.s last Mott, but though she felt them like a woman, she encounteEed then like a heroine, Since her last appearance inLondoa, this Lady is much improved ; and though she last night could not fill to suffer in comparison with her predecessor, yetescouraged by the audience, she per formed her task. with much credit and reputation to herself. She promises t be an acquisition to ti.e Theatre.—The. House was crowded to excess.
