NUMBER 13,335.] PUCE SEVENPFNCE. • THAT the IMPOSITIONS practised uopn the public now , in various parts of the Metropolis are of so extraordi nary a nature as to exceed in artifice any thing heretofore known, scents not to require a moment's argument. One of these appears within the last few months more particularly to abound, namely, that of Shopkeepers in various branches of trade, representing themselves as SELLING OFF BANKRUPTS STOCKS, " whereas no Bankrupt connected with such stock ever existed ; this detestable mode being resorted to, merely to deceive the credelous. In those shops a few articles being shown as a testimonial of cheap. ness, Ladies are too frequently induced to imagine that all the res t correspond, and are led incautiously to make purchases, the de merits and deception of which are not discovered till their arrive-1 home.

NEW YORK, Ocv. 98. Isw►ND ON Arracorn.—lt would appear, says the Montreal Ga. tette, as if tales of horror on this desolate Island were never to cease. We sincerely hope that the following, which we copy from Mr. Neilson'a °unto of Monday, may not be confirmed. We had heard previously of the reports in reference to the passengers of the Fanwood having been murdered ; and certainly the cir cumstance of one of them, Mr. Martinuclo, cf Quebec. having with him a large amount in specie, affords too much probability to the rumour :--- " A melancholy report was brought yesterday by Rosa, a pilot, who obtained the information from a fishing barge at Rimonaki, about seven days ago, just then arrived at Gaspe. It is a report that the family of Mr. Gamacbe, a keeper of one of the Govern ment post, '; Anticosti, cousisttig c; his wife, four children, and servants, bad been found by Gadtache ou his return from Queb•c, .11 V' • " The report gives the folloWhig details :—Gamache, who sailed from Quebec in his schooner about four weeks ago, on his coming lekight of his post on -Anticosti, saw a boat going our of it. Ile went in, secured his vessel, and went up to his house, where he met the appalling sight of his wife and chi:dren massacred. After a short delay he got his vessel ready, and sailed in chase of the boat be had seen, but night coming on and not seeing her next morning, be stood for Gaspe, where he hoped to get assistance and intercept her. The fishing barge In question obtained the information com municated to Ross in this way. A few days will probably confirm a story, to which belief is pretty generally given. " A man of the name of Hetly was examined to-day at the Police Office, and gave evidence, which goes to implicate a person residing at Cape Rosier, in consequence of Words used by that in dividual when in Quebec this spring. " The recent events at Anticosti, the reports of a gang of depre dators living on the island and connected with bad characters in Quebec, and other reports relative to the murder of the passengers of the Fuliwood, wrecked at Miquelon last fall, certainly look strange, and deserves a close inquiry. The coasts on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, from these reports, would appear to be little better than the resort of regular pirates."—New York Gosette. IXPILACIIMINT OF as ANIBILWAN JODOIL—A Committee of the Tennessee House of Representatives made a Report, October the 14th, recommending the impeachment of Nathaniel W. Williams, one of the Judges of the Courtiiiif Litw and Equity in that State, 41 for high crimes and misdemeanour► in office." The principal charges alleged against bun are, that on the 23d ofJuly, 1628, be " did illegally and fraudulenttpleave the Court-house in the town of Winchester, and go some distance to a private house, and did then and there take the acknowledgment of Caroline P. Tant, a married woman, to a deed for a valuable lot of ground in the town of Nashville, supposed to be worth 10 or 12,000 dollars, with the intent to conceal the act from her friends , and to defraud the heirs at law;' that be corruptly signed an 41dorsement en said deed, stating that the acknowledgment and privy examination were made in open Court; that he directed the Clerk of the Court, when reading the award of the preceding day, not to read the entry which had been made by his own direction ; that he was guilty of habitual partialities and prejudices towards different Members of the liar ; that his politics were carried to such ma extreme as to affect the appointment of foremen of Juries ; that he had omitted to hold terms of Courts in his Circuit, to the great injury of suitors; and that he had prejudged and pronounced his opinion with great earnestness upon a case of a capital nature, which he was probably to try at a subsequent period. The Report, it must be understood, is much of the nature of a bill of indictment, which it is very possible wiU be overthrown by evidence yet to be adduced. LISBON Nov. 14. • 'SIVA?' :1 OF " KOILIKINO HIZALD." DIARY OF THE WEEK ENDING THIS DAY. Momme—A gentleman named Scott, a British Officer on half pay, who arrived here nearly three years since. went, last week, to take out a license to leave Portugal, on board a ship bound for London. On his stating that be bad no license of residence, he was asked to pay three dollars for the time already passed, which he refused, alleging that, however willing be might be to pay for leave to stop for one week more. he Could not be required to pay for more than a year, particularly es be bad 'already had a pass port to go Into the country. •No - passport to sail out of the Tagus was then allowed to hint i mid he yesterday (on his going in the ship to the-Castle of Belem) was taken prisoner, conveyed to the Tower, his person searched, and his papers and letters opened and• examined, and himself placed in an incommunicable dungeon. The vessel was stopped, and, while Mr. Scott was threatened with a fine of X 25, the Captain of the merchant ship was declared, by the police regulations, to be liable to a mulct of .5100, for having taken a passenger on board who had no passport. The vessel is laden with fruit, and all delay is exceedingly hurtful to the cargo. A communication has been made to Mr. Mackenzie, the Actinaensel General, to obtain the release of Mr. S. and leave for the departure of the vessel. On application to the Intendant of the Police, his clerks and potters were asked if they had demanded payment for the three years residence, which they, with all the smootisnese of finished adepts, denied. The Intendant declared that such demand was illegal, yet there are now in England, as well as in Lisbon, per sons who can prove that they have been obliged to pay such a de mand. To those who have gone from England to France, where passports are given for a year, and who have received a license to embark at Calais for nothing, this mode of imprisoning British subjects, for attempting to leas. Portugal, will appear strange.... Mr. Scott remains still in prison, and the ship is detained ; yet we are still to try if new or old treaties will bind the Government of Miguel I. • ' Tuaanay.—Through the exertions of the Consul, Mr. Scott (afire having been compelled to pay for a license to reside for one year, and having all the attestations of the magistrates that no . crime was laid is his charge in the police offices, received a pass port) was liberated from prison, allowed to go on board, and the ship to sail not ,of Messick of Miguel's towers. All his pa pen. and even kttessenttmted to him, were opened and read. sod souse hooded to him open ; but these papers containing mane script notes were retained. There was a sort of half-willingness displayed by the police to Inflict the fines and mulct; but now, when the MigueUtes wish to conciliate the Brhish Agent, the idea was abandoned—not. however, until an attempt was made to induce the applicabts fur Mr. Scott's release t's sign a bond, which would afterwards be brought in judgment against them. AU Portuguese are allowed to quit England with out difficulty; but in this as well in ether instances' no doubt that the abettors of Miguel will labour to prove how a absolutely" the reciprocal treaty of 1510 has been complied with. Having stated those grievances on British subject's, I .hall mention ano- • they, which is equally oppressive en some individuals. Three or toll years since a stesindroat was established, by A company, to ply between Lisbon 'and Oporto, and, by special license, British merchants and others of Liverpool were allowed to take shares. During the Distufbanees of Oporto in May and June, 18118. thir boat was in Uverpool, undergoing repairs; on her subsequent return, application was made to the Minister of the kingdom for renewal of leave to ply as before, but the old Conde of Basco has more than 90 dines refused, leather that while he lives the boat shall never ply. It is Dow rotting in the Tagus,although it once afforded the highest advantages to Portuguese commerce. The Om ni, of Oporto has published the names of 13 political prisoners,who have been seat to Lisboa, in order to be transported to the Co- kinies, as elterrdef to Miguel I.

Two persons, Joao Henrique Ferreira, junior, native of Albergaris a Velha ; and Clemente de Morava Sarmento, Serjeant of the sth company of the 10th Cacadores, were executed by virtue of the same sentence on the 9th of October; and three others ; Jose (le Sousa Bandeira, scrivener in the towel of Guimaraeth ; Joaquin Jose de Marques de Mello, LL.B. residing in Aveiro, Adriatic, Agosto da Silva Pereira, Stu dent of the: University, were condemned to witness the execution of the two former, and to transportation for life ; and, lastly, a haberdasher, Jose Nunes Texeira, to ten years' transportation to Mosambique. It is very remarkable that no notice whatever is taken in the Galore of Lisbon of those sentences, not even of the names of the individual., some of whom, on former occasions. figured in the same journal as speaking, while Mem bers of the Legislature, in the Cones. Persons here ac quainted with the measures of the Government state that the ap parent silence of the Lisbon journal is for the purpose of deceiving the Courts of Europe into a belief that Miguel I. will grant an amnesty. I cannot describe the smile of scorn with which the name of amnesty is received. The old Conde de Basto says that a wise Statesman does not turn back—(Nunca volts pars atras) —and be is the soul of Miguel's power : be, the old Queen, and the Apostolical faction, will suffer martyrdom rather than yield one loch to those whom they call the enemies of the Altar and the Throne. They may, perhaps, promise to give an amnesty, in order to cheat Lord Aberdeen into an acknowledgment of Miguel, but none but fools will trust them. Out of 500,000 families, which constitute the population of Portugal, they have been the cause of the exile, or Sight from their homes, of one tenth of the heads—of the imprisonment of an equal number, and of the impoverishment of all those who bad property to lose. There are now in prison about 7.000 of the chief men of the nation, and in exile, or away from their homes, 20,000 ; and, as a proof of the state of property, it is mentioned that, in the district of Coim bra, about a thirtieth part of the Portuguese soil in extent, the property of 800 families and upwards, have been sequestered. WEDNlSDAY.—Yesterday a packet arrived from Falmouth, and a double anxiety was relieved-Ist, that of the Government, which was so impatient as to send a boat to meet the packet, then delayed by the tide, in order to know if there was any important intel ligence from Terceira, and if the Viscount de Asseca yet re mained in London; and, second, that of the merchants, who were eager to know the rate of exchange of the London market, this being the packet which brought answers to the letters sent from hence on the 10th ult. the day of the panic. The exchange from hence on London has not recovered that shock—k fell then from 454 to 44j in the course of two days—this calculation, ac cording to the English mode, is nearly 2i per cent. a very consi derable fall in two days. In consequence of the moneyholdera keeping out of the market, and of the Government and others having used some means to lower the discount on paper money, -- the sichange rose last Saturday a little, but it is now expected to come again to 441. Tnuassar.—The state of the Island of Madeira has exited the alarm of the Conde de Basto, who wishes to send troops thi ther ; besides which, it has been decided in the Council of State to change the Governor. The Governorship was offered hot. according to report, to the Conde de Zea, who refused; and it is now said that the present Colonel of the Police, Joaquim Jose Maria, has been named, his successor being the Viscount de Asanha, • and that the Diana frigate has orders to prepare to convey Max thither. Much 'talk has taken place to-day, respecting a Tuscan merchant-brig, which has conerilkose Terceira a prise to the blockading squadron. The income, given of it is as follows Name Romulo, Master Giovanni Maciavetlll, from Gibraltar for Boston and Maranhao, with a cargo of salt, brandy, tea, sugar, &c. 12 seamen, was taken possession of by the Perola Pot tuguese frigate, Captain da Cunha, 25 miles off Terceira, on the 25th of October; her papers fiund to be correct, but her Cargo being suspicious, six soldiers and a serjeant of Marines, and nine seamen, were put on board, with orders to take the prise into Saint Michael's, but, from contrary and severe weather, they were obliged to bear up fot Lisbon. Faroar.—The Gaulle has for some days laboured to keep the discount on paper money down, by giving false quotations. but at length this morning it has been obliged to admit it to be 69 : a great struggle has taken plice between the bill-thawers and money holders. who have to remit them to London, the former wishink to Is the exchange at 44i, the latter at 441. A packet being due to day, neither party yielded at the close of 'Change, in hopes of its speedy arrival. Sacuenay.—The Pertugese corvette Urania returned yesterday from the blockade to repair. A schooner laden with wheat has arrived from St. Michael's, bringing word that an English schooner from London, bad been taken by the squadron into that port, when she was unloading tobacco; the schooner, on being un leaded, was to be sent to Lisbon. The American salon con tinue still in prison ; but it is expected that they will soon be liberated, as the crime of which they have been accused taros out to be merely an attempt to take possession of their own clothes-chest, to prevent the contents from being stolen by the Portuguese en board their ship. The most ridiculous con trivances are used to induce the people to believe that Miguel bias been recognised. Among others, a transparency was inhibited at the last Illumination in Villa Franca, where " the King" was sur rounded by seven big men iu great wide wigs, flowing‘robes, and huge rapiers at their sides, they being the Ambassadors " who recognised Miguel I." No little curiosity is felt here to know whom Lord Aberdeen intends to Dave decorated in that grotesque fashion. &change on Enghna, 44k ; Government Paper Money from 1191 to 30 din. • FRENCH PAPERS. From the Measager des Chartres of Monday. HAVRE, Nov. 28. . . . . An alarming report bas been circulated here this raonling, said to be founded On the authority of some letters retched-from the Colonies, and dated In the month of September. According to these betters a revolt Is said to have broken out at Guadaloupe, in which several whites are stated to have been assassinated by the people of colour; but accounts from thence to the Stel of October, which have been received at Nantes where they were brought by the Felix, make no mention of this insurrection, which bat existed only In the beads of the alarmists. It has also been pretended, doubtless in consequence of the want of news, which has already produced a report of the event at Guadaloupe, that 31artinique has been ravaged by a hurricane. The letters from Point St. Pitre, of the 24 October, say no more of this butricane than of the massacre of the whites. 1 here two stories are, therefore, placed in the Lune class. Don Fermin Leguii, the Spanish Commander, who has arrived in our pert, with the officers and privates of his nation expelled from Portugal, has addressed a letter to us, to return thanks in his name and that of his countrymen, to the Magistrates and inha bitants of Haste, for the reception they have met with. The pri vations Which these unfortunate Constitutionalists have experienced in the prisons of Lisbon, and the inhuman treatment which they have suiered, have reduced soraal of them to the most deplorable state of destitution and sliffirring.

A Tuscan vessel, captured by the squadron blockading Terc:it at the latter end of October, bar just been brought into the Tagu• This vessel, which was fitted out at great expense by the Porto• geese refugees in foreign countries, was laden with gunpowdet , arms, and especially cannon of large calibre, as well as some provi sions. But what is most interesting is. that a large bundle of let ters was seized, which throws great light on the project of the refugees. This vessel has been escorted to Lisbon by his Majesty's brig the Infant Don Sebastian, detached from the blockading squadron by the Commander, who has also given him despatches for our Go vernment, and sent on board this ship some soldiers who were made prisoners in the attack nn the 11th August, ant! who lately had the good fortune to wipe from the island and get on board the Royal squadron. The despatches which our Government has just received from Joseph Maria Monteiro, Governor of the island of Nlatieira, announce that the Portu4uese refugees in foreign countries are at present directing all their views to that island; and that by means of promises and intrigues, seconded by gold, they bad suc ceeded in seducing sonic imprudent persons, who having endeavoured to disturb public tranquillity, have been arrested. It is thought that our Government will send to Madeira a man of a firmer character than the present Governor. M. Monteiro has with him his wife, two sons, and six daughters, who are all young. It is thought that his successar will be M. de Sorsa Tavares, a good General and now Chief of the Troops of the Police ; or dle Count de Cea, an excellent Naval Officer. The Urania corvette, from the squadron before Terceira, arrived yesterday in the Tagus. The Treasury continues to pay the arrears of the Officers in the several branches in the Administration. Every thing is tranquil in the capital and the provinces. From the Constitutiminel of Monday. PARIS, Nov. 30. The sinister rumours which have been afloat some days past in Paris have produced a strong sensation In the public and private assemblies every one has expressed the deepest indignation at them : In the house of the national supporter of the Court and of the mer chant—in the fashionable circles—in the shops—in the saloons of the theatres as well as on the Exchange, there was one cry of horror against the execrable faction which, gorged with money and places, conspires In darkness against the constitutional monarchy, and con templates with criminal audacity the ruin of the country which is the most quiet ' the most submissive to the laws, th e m ost f a i t hf u l to its oath, and the most subservient to its duties. We repeat that these are not vain terrors which we wish to Fr 2. j i ck 4 l ir pagate, they are shared by men who have given the best lied af attachment to the dynasty ; and what adds to th e public' iety is, that in such a crisis the Ministry preserves- a m ourn f u l s lence, and that the Malatesta., its only official organ, has not detened to publish half a word which re-assures eblic op hicla is so livelily agitated. s tat The Decree pronounced by the Cot Ilibunini Paris In the affair of the Breton Association, lik of Rouen, is one of its :moons, and different only in its conclusion, continues to be the • object of refutation for political writers. Among them we ought to remark M. Kerney, whose opinion merits particular attention as a Deputy and as a Breton signing the Association, and as one of the men who have rendered themselves most ,remarkable for their Monarchical and religious sentiments. Injhis letter of the £8 It November, addressed to one of the writers who. he contends, has b ee n unjustly eondentned, we remark the two following passages : " I declare that the grounds of decision proanuneed by the Tri bunal are insufficient, since, after having declared that an illegal collection oft would be a manifest violation of our fundamental laws, it has taken no notice of the legitimacy of the fears which remit from the mere formation of the present Ministry. "That Tribunal, by its remarkable opinion, has given salutary advice to the Crown ; but by that it has judged you ill—by that i Opinion it has in some measure associated itself with your fears." In the Prem . :no of Lyons, of the 26th, we find the ftillON iIIZ Wide :-.• . We have given in one of our proceeding numbers the test of the Lyonese Association for the refusal of taxes illegally established. We learn now that an attempt at makin& an association for a dif ferent purpose is tried, and also .an endeavour to get an agreement signed, by which the people engage themselves to pay the taxes which should be Created by a simple ordinance, countersigned by a Minister. But - what signifies such 4:motion / We conceive that citizens wishing to render each other mutual support unite them selves to oppose a legal resistance to measures of illegality which the agents of Goverovr.ent abould adopt ; we can understood that men • should agree to aid each other to oppose the rigours of which they might be the object when the fall of the Charter shall be pro nounced; but to what end should we associate for a different pur pose ? Is it feared that the Government will not receive the taxes which we wish to pay it? Is it supposed that it is necessary to employ violence to toter them to accept it I Such suppositions are no doubt very ridiculous; yet it is only by admitting them that we can explain the project of association for the payment of the tax by Ordinance. But let us await the publicatioso of this singu lar compact, and we shall see how its authors have acted to avow themselves the supporters of illegal measures." From the Journal des Debuts. PARIS, Nov. W. Within less than a fortnight two Tribunals have given, on question of vital importance, two different decisions—the Court at Rennes and the Court at Paris. The Court at Rennes only sees in the publicity given to the Brittany Association the effect of a too ready terror, excusable forecast, providing against danger which is not realised, and, according to our Constitutional guarantees, ought not to be realised. The Court at Paris, Inc luse the case is not realised, and ought not to be realised, finds, in the same publication, the crime of exciting hatred and contempt of the King's Government, and it condemns. The two Tribunals therefore, while they agree in principle, only differ in the conse quences they draw. Here the accused are punished—there they are set free; het both here and there the principle comes forth safe and sound from tha trial. That which is not to-day legal in the eyes of the Paris Tribunal may become so to-morrow ; and the condemnation, even more than the acquittal, perhaps, conse crates the right of legal resistance when the case arrives. Take a chance-collected Jury, submit to them a similar case, and listen at the door of the room where they ate deliberating. After the acquittal, inquire what motive determined them ? They will tell you that they could not condemn in another. alarms which they felt themselves. Is it a crime or a folly to guard against violence in Statesmen, when the friends of Minis. tern threaten violence and sow mistrust ? Is it for amusement 'that they speak of interdicting France? How can a Ministry, 'which can neither dissolve nor preserve the Chambers, and who ate obstinate in remaining in power, be free from evil designs? Must we allow ourselves then to be surprised, disarmed, and sleeping? The Associations are the work of the 31inlitry. Let them retire, and the Associations will dissolve of themselves. From the Courrier Francais. PARIS, Nov. 30. Is the fact of associating to refuse the payment of an We sel tax a crime? If it be, whoevir has pyblishtd a notice of such Associations--whoever has encouraged them—ought to be punished.
