MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1817. KING GS01011111:1 Catowatetam.—Holiklay at ah the Public :This being the Anniversary of the Coronation of their presetit Nansrlea, in 1761, the bells in Lon don and Westminc‘r rang a merry peal in the morn ing, at noon, and occasionally throughout the day. It was also observed Ail a holiday at the Stock Ez change, the Public Offices, &c., and at; Weymouth the Duke and Ductless of GeOUCEITEA are to give a grand Regatta in commemoration of this event. II we may credit letters which have been received in town from Pernambuco, the integrity of the Bra zilian territories is once more endangeped. ,An in surrectton t►f s o me magnitude is stated to have broken “ut at Paraiba, the Capital of the most northern Captaincy of the Brazils. A vessel, it appears, with three thousand stand of arms and military stores, which had been ordered by the insurgents of Pernam buco, had received notice, on their discomfiture, to proceed to Paraiba, where a• number of them . had taken refuge ; and on its arrival there, she - was paid in specie for her cargo, and the standard of rebellion immediately hoisted. F. • According to advice. which have been received titp Mrxico, the Insuigents..since the death of Mo. &syn. and the defection of RYAW, exist only in the form of guerilla parties. It was, however, repotted at Vera Crux, about the latter end of June, that Mow rec./ALLA, a man of great wealth and influence, had raised the standard ut revolt, in,company with a dig nitary of the church, named Paulo, at a place called Aunequat, some distance to the north-west of the city of Mexico. The Spanish troops in New Spain were estimated at 10.000 men :. at Vera Crux, the people eithervere. or pretended to be, ignorant of the ope t4tiont of MINA. On the 3d of June, the Insurgent General Vierostui still held the Fort of Palmii, about SO miles south-west of Vera Crow, whirh he de fended with 450 men against 2,000 of the Royalists, who had been then besieging it some weeks. The Island of Margaritas is also stated to be now entirely in possession of the Royalists, who with a force of 6000 men, are represented as preparing to commence operations against the Insurgents on an extensive scale. Jamaica Papers have arrived to the 31st of July. The most important article they contain, is a tom plaint, which we conceive not a little unreasonable, against a law which the Legi►lature of that island has passed for enforting regular returns of the Slave Po pulation, It is said that the task of making the re turns is so difficult, that even, with every precaution, a 'fase years will throw the whole into inextricable confusion, from the many inereated difficulties of such an arduous and endless measure. In what the difficulty consists, however, we are not exactly told, nor are we able of ourselves to di►ine. It must be a mere trifle, we feel well assured, to the returns which almost every body in England, except mere paupers, is compelled to make under the Acts imposing the Assessed Taxes. 4, A few years," it is said, it will throw the whole into inextricable confusion." It it does, we can only.say it must be from a gross negli. Bence on the part.of the island authorities, and will certair ly prove, beyond all dispute, the necessity of an interference on the part of a Government at home whiCh notbe trifled with, and in whose eyes the rights of a slave are as sacred as those of a free man. 4•1•101 A Flanders Mail arri►ed last night ; from the Journals brought by which, to the 18th inst. we ha►e gi►en some extracts in another part of ocr Paper, which do not, howe►er, require any partici:lAT notice. A series of German Papers has also come to hand, but bring nothing additional of importance, if we except a long article in the Gazette of Mayence, "on the State of the Cnnunittee of Liquidation for the Claims upon France." The Commencement and the end of this important piece will suffice to give our Readers an idea of its whole contents; they are as follow : • 11 The French Government has shewn, for some months put, very clearly, that it is not its intention to discharge towards its foreign creditors the obliga tiuns• which were imposed upon it, by the Treaty of Pais and the Convention of the 20th Nov. 1815. •, Every thing is interpreted in favour of France, in order to invalidate three-fourths of the claims of the Allies,, by the aid of general principles, falsely assumed ; it is said, for example, that they alledge iertMlMMinfinrW nirliiiir(ditkaste) of the 1 ex-Emperor, of February 1808, in regard to all the claims coming from the countries hitherto united to France, and that they demonstrate that all those .which are anterior to the said Decree, are extin guished and inadmissible in the liquidation. This Deese', w hich is not binding even for France, Wean*, contrary to the Constitution, it was neither approved nor promulgated as a law by the Constitutional Au thorities, is the cause that all the claims dated before that epoch have noC been liquidated. • N -It is true this arbitrary proceeding of the Freach GovernMent is still the subject of diplomatic Dego citations; but in the mean time, the liqUidation of all the claims of this nature remain suspended, and will probab'y for ever remain so, because the affair regarding only private creditors, it is likely that no energetic measure will be taken. • • • • The Treaties of Peace of 1814 and 1815, make hi. (hello almost the only indemnity of the people, who, in the time of danger, sacrificed every thing to strengthen the thrones of their Princes, and forced France, at the price of their blood, to accede to these Treaties. If we reflect for the rest, that the loss of these just claims ( which in the countries previously subject to the French dominion, would in all proba bility have been satibfied in the Case of a prolonga tion) falls, in a great measure, on the middling class, who are already sufficiently ezhaus , ed, it would be very deplorable if our good-natured diplomacy should fall int , . a new snare laid by French cunning, to the detriment of German citizens." Since our last we have received the Park Papers of the 18th and 19th. The following are extucts s PARIS, SEPTEMBER is. Yesterday his Majesty received a visit from the Duke, the Duchess, and Mademoiselle d'Orleans. M. Becquet, Under Secretary of State for the In. tenor, has been appointed Director• General of Budges and Forests. By an Ordinance of the 25th of August, the Kikg of the Two Sicilies, in consequence of an official note from the Ministers of the Allied Courts who subscri bed the Treaty of the 20th of November; 1815, at Paris, has prohibited all the persons comprised in the Royal Ordinance of the 24th of July, in. the same year, from entering his States. A letter from Palermo; of date the 4th of August, states, that the Tribunal of the Royal Criminal Junta, and the Prevotal Court united, had pronounced their judgment against 14 persons, accused of high treason. Oae Raphael Tritaldi, had been condemned to be hanged; and two of his principal accomplices to be imprisoned, the one for life. and the other for 25 years, in a State Prison. Different punishments of imprisonment and pubic labour had been pronounced against the other prisoners, among whom was one woman condemned to two years' imprisonment in a Wm* of Correction. The judgment received the approbation of his Royal Highness the Viceroy ; and l was carried into full and entire execution on the 9th of August. PARIS, SEPT. If. M. Chevalier Allent, Counsellor of State, is named Under Secretary of State to the Minister of War, in place of the Viscount de Taberie. who has resigned. M. Cassaing is appointed Secretary General to the bliiiister of War, in place of M. Desacres de Fleuranges. • It is certain that a Courier Extraordinary arrived last night from Rhodes, which has brought intelli gence that judgment has been pronounced in the Pro. cess against the assassins of M. Fualdes. It appears that all the accused have been condemned, the prin cipals to death, and the rot to hard labour and im prisonment. The expedition destined to take possession of French Guyana set sail from Brest on the 13th. It is com manded by M. Bergeret, and consists of one man of war, a frigate, a coi vette, two sloops, and two gal- Hots. Lieutenant-General Count Carr.. St. Cyr, who is appointed Commandant and Admidistrator of French Guyana, has embarked with the expedition. MADRID, SRPTEMBER 6. We observe with surprise, that some foreign Jour nals announce the political restoration of certain indi viduals who figured away in the cs-clevant Cortes Extraordinary of Cadiz. As yet nothing of the kind has come to the knowledge of the public. The par dons which were to be granted by the King, on the' occasion of the birth of the Infant, Mule Louise, will not, we understand, be made known till the church ins (la retvailles) of the Queen.

There are still many cases of low typhus fever in Kilkenny. and its ►icinity, but they have bcen found to yield readily to cleanliness and proper treatment. We hate never wished to excite fear, but were always desirous to induce cautious attention to the disease. Ohe of those melancholy events which have too frequently occurred in the neighbourhood of the Lakes took place at Windermere on Friday se'nnight.
