He even went further. and requested the Prince to be pleased to rublish a Proclamation at Nismes. to snake known his opinions and favourable moments towards the Protestants ; and exhort the . le ople no longer to persecute them under the pretext ~;* Royalism; but the Prince refused this just demand, ille.vging that his powers did not authorise him to Hake such Proclamation. This confession of the )uke's confounded the Pro:estants and inflamed the iudacity of their persecutors. It is even said that the i c putation of the Protestants, in order to avoid the of the populace, was conducted to the Duke , r a military escort, and entered by a back door the ~,,ise where the Prince put up. According to some iccounts the Protestant Deputies secretly left the own to pay their respects to the Duke, and to recom nend their interests to him before he entered the city. •.-lowever it be, on the Sunday after the Duke's de. •larture divine service was again performed in a Pro estant Church, the entrance of which was guarded ir a considerable armed force ; but this precaution vas in vain ; the people being informed that the !torch was open, collected together, and went thither ittering imprecations and menaces, forced the guard, -And entered the church ; those who were in it with litficulty saving themselves by immediate flight.

This morning we received a supply of Hamburgh 'apers. We select from them a curious article on the subject of Sweden. It is evident that the Citowit ?kiNcs is alarmed for the perm•sne9cy of the Berna• (:otte Dynasty ; and the subjoined statement seems to have been put forth with a •iew to counteract the .ffe,:t of certain disagreeable rumours: FROM THE HM111)1;11011 CORRESPONDENT OF 240 V. 28. Some Public Prints spe.tk of a fermentation, which they say, prevail% in Sweden, and of a conspiracy that has been formed against the Crowe Prince. One the Senators, say they, mixed poison in a cup of ,o intended for the Prince, but which was drank by c:nobody else in the company, who soon after died. Lrther, an officer Ind by brilliant promises induced soldier to shoot the Prince at a review ; but the sol dier, in his confusion, shot, instead of the Prince, the horse on which be rode. All these stories are old, ,tnd dated from last June, as may be seen in the Poll. ;cul ✓,urnal of October, 1815, from which we take 'he lullowing authentic accounts from Sireden : 0 . The whole conduct of the Crown Prince of Svre !,n was prescribed by the necessity of procuring, for luss Finland, which Sweden felt most sensibly, n indemnity, and for himself a firmly established otisiutration, !....ce the pride of many great families f the Aristocratic rersen Piper party, which had fished to see the murdered Count Axel rerun on .%e throne, might oppose the elevation of a foreigner. At Om head of this party was a person of high dis nction, but v.bo, from suspicion of having had a . .are in poisoning the late Crown Prince to raise Fe en to the throne, was so hated by the na 3n, th a t in the beginning this person was not secure 'out ill-treatment, except in the company of the new `:ruun Prince, and under his protection. " At same time that the Prince of Ponte Corve ad to solve this difficult problem, which could only e done by the long desired conquest of Norway, ur .e recovery of Finland—no matter whether he at• • ned the end by the aid of France or of Russia, and robably decided for, the last, that he might not, by )iiiiog in the Continental system, rob Sweden, al !,,dy impoverished, of all means of recovering its rosperity, in the still more difficult problem, how I attain this end without any considerable sacrifice of e national troops; for as the Constitution'opposed war fur a cause not immediately 'concerning Swe. en, without the consent of the Diet, this successor I the throne would have been greatly endangered !either case—the not obtaiaing of Norway, or the of any considerable part of the army. This was onlJtless a most difficult task : and it must be owned 14t he has continued to perform it with uncommon -1 " "Y, pin LiculArly by acquiring, in the meeting at Abo, the Oetantial frienttattP Ind 'steed of the tier peror Alexander. “ the Nobility loses its influence More and More, and lost considerably teen at the last Diet. Impo irerithed by the fondness for external splendour, en couraged perhaps by the Government itself, it is con tinually sinking, and tries to maintain itself by alli ances with rich Merchants, who, there as well as in Denmark and Norway, are daily rising in considera tion, though Fabian Fersen was made this year Knight of the Order of the Seraphim ; this party is likewise falling into insignificance ; and the proud Countess Pip% is so shunned, that she is now confined to the society of her former Governess. However, there are still observed about the Crown Prince many dg,cendants of the first families, as for example, a young Count Brahe, the last descendant of this cele brated fanoly, who are called Cousins by the Royal Family. The nation reproaches him with having given the Norwegians such great privileges, and this very reproach accords with his own wishes, to pro cure them similar privileges at the expense of the Nobility. " The King, formerly distinguished as an intrepid warrior, and as an able and upright statesman, is justly rejoiced at the laurels with which, as it is stated in the address, his adopted son adorns his grey hairs. The Prince has also found means to please the Queen ; and she not only sees in him ber support against a hostile party, but is taken with his obliging and re spectful manners. Whether the retirement of the Crown Princess has been caused by misunderstand ing with the Princess Sophia Albertina, and other ladies, who were proud of their high birth, is not now a subject of inquiry s but many reports on her conduct are aisuredly unfounded. " Prince Oscar is an amiable Prince, who has al ready gained great perfection in the Swedish lan guage. He has acquired much valuable knowledge and dexterity in bodily exercises ; he studies con stantly, and particularly applies to the serious and mathematical sciences. He is educated with great strictness; and it is said, for instance, that he was once put under arrest, for being present at a ball without his father's knowledge. The nation is ex tremely attached to him." American Papers of the 9th of November arrived this morning. The following are extracts : FROM THE COMbISECIAL ADVERTISER OF OCT. 25. i• Another Indian war on our southern and wes tern border. I'he Creek nation refuse to comply with the terms of tie treaty they formed with General Jackson, and cven those of the nation who were here tofore considered as friendly have joined the hostile standard, and h4ve commenced their operations by destroying a number of important forts. •• In consequence of their proceedings, General Gaines, in behalf of the United States Government, has made a requisition on the Governor of Georgia for 2(X)0 Militia, and the Governor has already issued his orders for a draft of the requisite number of men. On the Western frontier, several of the hostile ttiNe.; have refused to negotiate a treaty of peace, and Go. vernment is about to build And repair forts, and to make other preparations for a campaign, early in the _ ensuing spring." FROM Tile NATIONAL INTILLIGENCER 07 NOV. 3. " 'file affairs of Europe have excited most extra ordinary interest. In this section of the Union, party contentions have arisen to an unbounded degree : skit mishing, and even assassinations, tzke place among the hostile powers of this city at least weekly. Last week, of eleven burials, five were caused by the poig nard." Lord Cas-rcettrason had an audience of the PRINCE REGENT Yesterday morning. Yesterday his Rnyal Highness the Commas:ban IN CIIIEY held a levee at his Otlice at the Horse Guards. The Duke of CLARENCE intends honouring the Earl and Countess of DARNLEY with a visit this week, at their seat Cobham Hall. Great preparations are making for his reception. A large party of fashion ables are invited to meet his Royal Highness. The juke of NORFOLK, we are sorry to learn, is in a dangerous state. His Grace is so very weak, that he can sit up but for a short time : his Physicians entertain very little hopes of his recovery. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.---Last night the Comedy of The Honey Moon was performed. The part of the Dub, for the first time, by Mr. KEAN. The extra ordinary success which this Gentleman has obtained, has been by the felicity with which he depicts the ferocity and hypocrisy of the tyrant, and by the ability with which he gives those bursts of fury and - despair which are considered to be the characteristic of guilt and anguish. The character of the Dade possesses none of those distinguishing features, but still Mr. KEAN proved himself adequate to the just representation of it, and afforded a most gratifying displsy of the great versatility of his talents: the Fillowing sentiment he delivered with excellent taste : " 1 he man who lays his hand upon a woman, " But in the way of kindness, is a wretch, " Whom 'twere gross flattery to name a coward r His performance throughout was entitled to high com mendation, and was received with the most rapturous l applanse. In the dance, which was encored, the audience were delighted beyond all precedent with the graceful agility of Mr. KltAli.

S. •• 1 expect soon to be able to announce to yon the complete triumph of Carthagena, which circumstance alone will secure the independence of the whole of the neighbouring section •:f Spanish America, and open its dormant resources to the enterprize of the world. Generally, there it has been considered for tunate that the Cadiz expedition is gone against Car ttiagena. Morillo's plan is to t►ke it by starvation i hut this is impossible, because his sea forces are so weak, that hitherto they have been unable to prevent the entry of privateers and merchantmen. Maay vessels have already entered, both from the islands and United States ; and the premiums offered by Go vernment, as well as the prices of provisions, will se cure supplies. Insurance is not more than 15 per cent. which is not much more than is asked generally at this season of the year. Carthagent is provisioned and defended equal to a second rate fortress of Europe, nay three times as strong as in Vernon's time. The garrison and people are animated by the best spirits. The troops within the walls are about 4,000, besides 1,200 marines.— Moving bodies are also acting without on the flanks and rear of Morino, daily increasing from the inte rior. The castle of La Popa is commanded by the famous General Bermudez ; the C:TTO by Colonels Montilla and Rini:. The point of St. Catherine's is commanded by Brigadier Campomanes, as second in command, and General Castillo is the first. The point of Santo Domingo is commanded by Colonel Narvaex, and the walls facing the bay by Colonel Herrera. " An immense sum of British property is now in Carthagena, and the agents of all the Jamaica houses concur in stating, that no force the Spaniards could collect would take the place. The latter relied most on domestic dissensions, but these have happily ceased, and taught the inhabitants the imperious necessity of stronger union. They also find, by experience, that the plan of Morillo is no other than a second con quest, and that they are fully exposed to all its hor rors. His word, in Venezuela, has been forfeited in a thousand ways. The rains and a hot season have set in ; their concomitant diseases already visit his ranks, and he will soon find that this is not making war on the Pyrenees. An the estates and dwellings for a certain compass round have been destroyed, so that the Spaniards are exposed to all kinds of incle mency. They have already been obliged to take shel ter in a few miserable huts they have constructed in Turbaco. " Morino has got with him a small army of Inqui• sitors, intended to issue ecclesiastical proclamations and excommunications against those who rebel against the sacred authority of Ferdinand. We anxiously expect . the result of a naval action preparing under , the command of Brion. against the Spanish squadron. 'Tn this the greatest tnnOenee it plaCed. On eierk side th.• prospect ch^ers: Verw . zreli is fast extir7a,i g her enemies, the patriots t f Q..iro every whet- 'tit m ph.int, the government of New Grenada filled , vigil once and energy, and enthusiastic hopes depict, d on every countenance. E,,Totism is banislii d andeve, y one disposed to mike the greatest sacs ices now, at sight of the brilliant reward that awaits them. They see that independence is within their reach, and they are resolved it shall be their own. Europe, indeet 2 , still slumbers on this subject, and in Hier the energies or liberal principles displayed excite interest. ei In the old world, the cause of humanity and litraality finds powerful advocates on th 7 'nes as well as individuals; yet in the new one, the i and slave trade have been abolished, hay, every thing that bears the emblem of despotism tnn down. and still civilized Enrope feels no sympa.lte.ic Spanish A me:ica now fights the battles of insrice anl of reason, and to know this we have only to pen her history. Yet, the cause of jnst . ce in Eur pe seems overlo-ked, even the lever of in.erc , ,t uo longer acts. Our islands have now scarcely any trade bat Spanish America ; from thence al ne we i zet money. Imports from North America are now taken from us: what should we do if Spanish America were also closed ? We want provisi ins ; our os !al !nophes arc cut oil s we must not 1).! beholden to th L 4 nitel States; why then not secure abundance font t! , ct Spanish where we have ample ru.' ? Mexic , ) grows wheat at half the expeiise of Nni th America ; cattle every where alitninds, even we can cbtain better staves, It would seem that Nature was ten dering to us her benefits aud blessings merely to t'd spurned." t• JAMAICA, OCTnlteg 9.---Morillo's squadron ;s divided, the transports are left at anchor in Nova Canna, with some war vessels, and the rest !o•ver abiut Baaa Chica, to attempt an impotent blockade.

Up to the 29th September, Morillo had done nn more than extend his line, and defend him self Irons sallies and tttacks in his rear. asease in his rank.: gains ground. His great strength is in hi* troops, but it he loses his ships what will become of him The Carthagena naval armament is da il y ex pected to act. TWt4 great crisis have pas , ed over to Spanish America, viz. the return of Ferdin tud to Spain, and the arrival of Nlortilo's expedition. The eff:cts of boTh hay.: happily vanished.
