The following is an extract of a letter from Com inodoreAuty to the Editor of the Aurora, received ii/:a Kingston, Jamaici; dated Island of St. Cathe tine and Old Providence, July 18 : 46 The interest which you have manifested in the cause of the emancipation of South America, and your' kindness in vindicating me against so many unjust imputations and aspersions, have made a strong impression of gratitude on my heart, and I write to testify it, &c. and I shall take the liberty of frequently calling myself to your recollection. On the 6th of the present month, the flags of the Independent Go vernments of Buenos Ayres and Chili were hoisted in this island, in conformity with an authority with sthich I have had the honour to be invested by those Independent Governments. The occupation of some position in these seas has become absolutely indispen sable to the great objects which we have had so long in view, and which have been retarded by causes to which you are no stranger. The emancipation of South America requires a convenient rendezvous for the fruits of the tropics; and abundance of excellent vegetables as in New Grenada. What Margaretta is to Venezuela this place is to New Grenada. I inclose you a proclamation which I have issued here, with a view that all the friends of liberty may know where we are, and where to hear of us. We are in excel lent con•lition here, and every respect will be paid to t . .e flags of all nations, and every protection to those who may be disposed to commercial enterprizes. I shall write you again in a few days." NORFOLK, OCTOBER 2. NON-INußcootsz—the law which closes the ports Of the United States against vessels aoming direct from the British West India Islands wefki into opera tion yesterday. Within the last three weeks this port has been crowded with such vessels, availing them selves of the rule time that remained to take away. • cargoes of our produce. Some of these have sailed, aad, probably, before this have made a good offing: others have put to sea, but, owing to the North-eas terly gale that is now prevailing, must have been compelled to put back, while others, though ready for sea, have not been able to get out, owing to head winds.—The orders from the Secretary of the Trea sury do not leave it discretionary with the Collector tc permit the sailing of vessels after the Ist of Octo ber, who have loaded and cleared for the British Islands before that day; in consequence of which the most unheard-of exertions were made to expedite those vessels which arrived at the eleventh hour. Of the expedition.with which they have been unloaded and laden again, an instance was given in our last, and another in to-day's Paper. Not one has been be hind-hand—not one has craved indulgence•beyond the time allotted,...all were ready to depart the day before the law was to take effect, when they find themselves unfortunately detained by adverse winds. Since Saturday night last, the wind has been hang- . ing on at North-east, and during the two last days has been blowing a hurricane; consequently, no ves sel could get to sea from this port, nor even from' Hampton-roads. We do not apprehend, however, that these vessels will be made toexperience any fur ther deteation after the North-easter has removed its embargo. Yet we cannot witness their final depar ture froth our waters but with feelings of regret. Since the peace they have been regular traders to our port; some of them having in that period made seven or eight voyages hither, each time bringing valuable cargoes paying heavy duties, and taking away our lumber, naval stores, and Hour, is return. We' have yet to learn whether the inhibition of that trade, which bas certainly been highly beneficial to this section of the country, and to the nation at large, will produce an equiveent advantage in the employ :tient of our own shipping. We hope, yet we doubt it. Atsornaa Ins-..awcz or QUICK DISPATCH.—The British schooner Favourite, from Barbadocs, which arrived at this port on Tuesday Wonting, entered at the Custom-horse at nine o'clock, and immediately commenced discharging her (small) cargo of sugar and rum. At eight o'clock the same night she had a-full cargo of Hour, bread. and staves in, and her }'.itches battened down. The next morning had her .deck load of shingles taken in, her long boat stowed, cleared at ten o'clock, and at one was on her way down the river. The Favourite is a vessel that will • stow about 600 barrels under decks. QUEBEC, OCTOBER a. At a dinner given to Hon.

Previous to the 9th instant she complained of slight indisposition, and on the morning of that day, fell into a state of Lethargy, from which every at tempt to rouse her proved ineffectual, having slept for the space of 13 days!" AIX-LA-CFLIPELLE, NOVEMBER 1. PRIVATE VETTER. " There has been a great bustle among the diplo matic people this morning, owing to the return of the Emperor Alexander. His Imperial Majesty was the first to stir. He drove to the Duke of Welling ton's at the early hour of nine o'clock, in full uniform, and remained with his Grace for about an hour. The Emperor seems to consult the Duke of Wellington, and to negociate with him on all subjects, in pre ference to Lord Castlereagh, who is o,liged to look for his friends among a different class of politicians. The Emperor immediately returned to; Mine ser vice in the Chapel of his Hotel; and the . Duke of Wellington, accompanied by two ladies, walked to the atelier of Sir T. Lawrence, to see his progress in painting the Sovereigns. • " The Crown Prince of Prussia was at the time in specting the battalions of Guards, in the Grand-place' before the Hotel de Ville. This Prince arrived on Friday night at ten o'clock. He yesterday morning paid a-visit to the Emperor of Austria, afterwards to the Grand Duke Michael ; and dined with his aunt, the Princess of Tour and Taxis, who has just re turned from a short excursion to the shores of Bel gium. The Crown Prince will remain here during Congress, and will then probably accompany his father to Vienna There was to-day no conterence of Ministers. Lord Castlereagh waited at eleven o'clock on Prince Hardenberg, and remained a considerable time ; at one o'clock he paid his respects to the Em peror of Russia. His Imperial Majesty will proceed to-morrow morning to meet his mother, ..ho comes from Cologne. The Empress will dine with her two sons, the Emperor and the Grand Duke Michael, and then set out for Maestricht, on her way to Brus sels. Baron Stein, formerly Minster of Prussia, and Minister of the Allied Powers for the administration of the conquered Provinces of Germany, during the war of 1818 and 1814, is expected here to-day. lie will of course be consulted in any matter that has a reference to the Confeieration. Count Munster has set out for London. _ _ " The memoir of Count Bentinck, one of the me diatised Princes, reclaiming the Sovereignty of Knip hausen from the Grand Duke of Oldenburgh, has re ceived the imprimatur of the Prussian authones. The police at first placed delays in the way of its impres sion. The Prussian Government is rather displeased with the decision of the military commission of the Diet, erecting Ulm into a fortress of the Confedera tion, to be garrisoned by Austrian troops. Prussia is negotiating with the Netherlands for an exchange of territory in this neighbourhood. Prussia wishes the line of the Meuse for her frontier, and by this means would obtain Ruremonde, Limburg, Verviers, Spa, &c. in exchange for which she proposes to sur render to the Netherlands, certain portions of the territory of Cleves and Guelders, which lie more con tiguous to the dominions of the King of the Nether therlands. This new demarkation will give better !military and commercial lines of communication to each of the Powers than they at pre;ent possess. The transaction must, of course, receive the sanction of the. other Powers, or of Congress. if terminated before it disperses. A treaty of commerce would then be rendered more easy between them. " A new Treaty of Alliance is said to be on the eve of being concluded, into which France till be received as a party. The difficulties that have hi therto retarded it hive arisen or. the part of Prussia, which felt the shield of the Quadruple Alliance most necessary for her security. If I can rely on the reports I have heard from good sources, this Power, in case the treaty of Parris as a guarantee against France were annulled, expressed a desire that some measure should be adopted to bind more firmly together, and under her direction, the Northern part of the German Confederation, as a balance to the growing strength of her rival. She felt that this great body has neither head nor heart—neither unity of views, nor con formity of interests—and that, acted upon by the powerful influence of France, its various small States would shake, and form themselves into some new arrangements, like a quantity of iron filings on the -approach of a magnet. She wished, therefore, to give them more of the qualities ofThe emblem of the United Stag, and to keep the northern bundle of rods in her own hand. Some Prussian authors have written in this sense. They have expressed a desire to see a northern and southern German Empire esta blished ; the former having Prussia, and the latter Austria for its head: and though Prince Harden- 1 berg, the Prussian Minister, was said, in a public pa-1 per, to have testified his dissatisfaction at the mootmg! of such doctrines, there is no doubt that the propou tion or dissolving the quadruple alliance made the' Prussian Government think of some such measure of security. " The question of Jewish privileges, so far as it was the iuteutiun of the Allied Sovereigns to dispose of it, was disposed of at the Congress of Vienna and the German Diet ; and whatever prejudices now exist , will be left to be destroyed by the increasing li berality of the age, and the influence of such produc-, tions as that alluded to. On the retreat of the French from Germany in 1813, the Hanse-towns of Bremen, Lubeck, and Hamburgh, and the imperial city of Frankfort, returned to their old oppression of this rste, and deprived them of the privileges which the French , system had conferred upon them." THE EVENING STAR LONDON. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1818. THE FUNDS. PRICE Or STOCKS THIS DAY AT TWELVE O . CLOTIC: 3 per Cent. Reduced 76 76;-3 per Ct.

The rumours in the City to-day with respect to Uri private *counts said to have been received from Paris, as to The state of the Funds on Tuesday, are at considerable variance. A ccording to one account, the 5 per Cents. had declined before the close of that day to 661 r. for money, and 68 for the account ; while other statements, on which we are disposed to place more reliance, make the lowest price for money 68} franc-., and for the account 70 francs. A Supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday last was published at a late hour this forenoon. It contains the substance of Dispatches which have been, received at the India House from the Governor in Council at Bombay, dated 30th May, 3d and Bth June—most of the particulars of which we laid be fore our Readers a few days ago. Besides the various hill-forts captured, the large fortified city of Chanda wastaken by storm by the force under Lieutenant Colonel ADAMS, on the 20th of May. Captain C4IAELFSWORTIi, Lieutenant and Adju tant WArsou, and Lieutenants FELL and CASEMENT, :ue the only Officer.; wounded. The Paris Papers for Monday and Tuesday arrived this forenoon. The private reports which were cur rent yesterday, with respect to the state of the French finds, prove to have been considerably exaggerated. They were said to have sunk as low as 65, ;nd even 6=2; and this, with reference to the close of the mar ket on Monday. But from the state of Munday's price, in the Papers before us, it appears that the lowest rate at which they were dcne on that day was 71 f. 20 c. that they were done at as high even as 721. l and left Off at.7l f. .10(;. The KING and PRINCE ROYAL of PRUSSIA, the Grand Duke CONsTANTIN C, and Duke of Mrcrmrs avm.:Ta, honoured the Duke d'Escans with their pre sence at an evening party, on Sunday. From a Ber lin arti&e, it appears • that a courier had arrived there, officially announcing that the K:NO would be back to Aix-la-Chapelle by the 31st ultimo, so that by this time, we may presume, his ni.trsry and suite have left Paris. The Doke of ANGOULFME set out -on Monday morning for the Northern flontiers. in order to su perintend the re-occupation of the fortified places. His Highness is expected to be sbs.nt on this duty about six weeks. General LA Fivrrrr. has been returned as Deputy for the Department of the Sarthe. The Emperor of Russ' arrived on his return from Paris, at Valenciennes, on the night of the 29th. The inhabitants spontaneously illuminated their houses on the occasion. Nest morning, at ten, his Mensry set off for Brussels. A private letter from Paris, written on Monday evening, states, that on Sunday the Contractors for the Loan sent off an express to Aix-la-Chapelle, to require an extension of the term stipulated in the Treaty for completing the instalments ; and that, in stead of nine months, they should be allowed seven teen months to pay up the whole of the Loan: the) offer, in that case, to make each instalment at the place where it falls due, instead of paying it to the agents of the respective Powers at Paris; thus pro ducing a saving of commission and other charges, and affording a security against any loss that might arise from the variations In the exchanges. Should this proposition be acceded to, of whii.h little doubt was entertained, one cause c the late instability of the French Funds would be immediately removed, In regard to the exportation of specie, active means had been resorted to, to put a stop to that, as it was considered injurious traffic : the principal commercial houses in Paris had met, and entered into a volun tary agreement with the Bank not to practise it themselves, and to discountenance and prevent it by every possible means in others. From these and other, causes, it is confidently expected that the next ac counts will bring information of an improvement in the French Funds : as a proof of that confidence it may be stated, that 71.50 was given on the Exchange yesterday, and we heard of more than one bargain done at that price. The report in the City to-day is, that the preced ing application has been rejected. The apartments in Kensington Palace, formerly inhabited by the Princess of WALES, are fitting up for the reception of the Duchess Of KENT, who returns to England previous to her espocted accouchonott.
