The only article of in terest they contain, is the following official eomnranication from the French Consul at Cadiz, to th,! B ea rd ri Commerce of Marseilles, on the subject c! the Algaine Plague Squadron, which must place Wal d a ll question, if indeed any question can be r itcd about the necessity of some measures being rake , by the European Powers—by England espe till:!, whose flag, as . it appears from this statement, especially insulted—for the extirpation of these de- os of Feitilence : An l:print Squadron, consisting of six ships of war .

Among the captures • they have made arc some Dutch, Swedish, and Russian and one especially Liaglish. Nur he cesu the French flag respected, for we understand that the French brig la Jenne Amanda, bound from Marseilles to Martinique, has Wen into the lauds of the barbarians, and that the brig le Pupa) , Frouin lateen pillaged by them off Ailcant * The piracies committed by this squadron are not the only gie g to be repelled ; it appears certain that they have the plague boat; and there is much reason to tear, that boarding as they every ship they meet, they may communicate it to many of * The Governor of Gibraltar, foreseeing the danger which Me would be in admitting without reserve foreign ships, even kw coming from European ports where the state of health is ;idlest esception, has imposed on all ships arriving a swan he of us days. The Junta of Heald* of Cadiz bas adopted the Noe mount; sad it is presumed that the Nisch Government, mowed of what is passing, will also follow tbts example' Agreecbly to the suggestion in the preceding letter, dos are stated to have been issued to all the ports If France, to subject every vessel, from whatever tauter it may coma, to the same rigoroue quarantine is has been imposed at Cadiz and Gibraltar. French 5 per Cents. 25th Nov.-60. 70c. Thursday the schooner Mary. Ann, in thirteen days oin Fayal, arrived in the Downs. The Master re. arts that in the course of the voyage he fell in with le American brig . bossamer, of eight guns. from eghorn, bound to Boston, having on board Luca.), OXAPARTZ and suite. The account of a rupture between the KING of the SIMLA/MS and the PRINCE of OSAMU, contained a private letter which we gave ►ome days ago, is nifirmed by the Brussels Papers, from which upr eaders will find the relative extracts, in a preced ig column. Ia another column we have given an extract from Batavia Gazette of the 28th December, 1816, re. ktive to the insurrection in the Island of Java, of bich mention has lately been made. The Dutch Lathorities seem to have guessed rightly whit the tutu of the commotion were. when they announce t the close of their account, the institution of an quiry to ascertain whether it may not have arisen frotn ,, extortions or vexations." The whole, in fact, originiud, as we learn from a private channel of un doubted authority. in the lawless exactions of KAPA LA Citootsit, and other Native Chiefs acting under the European Government. The ignorant and suffering inhabitants were prevailed upon by a few of the heads cf villages, toassemble for the purpose of marching to Indranfsiyo, for the ostensible purpose of having their grievances redressed. No Chief of any rank was amongst them. and their number did not at any , time exceed 900. •. . What efforts were made on the part of Govern ment to remonstrate with these deluded people, to inquire into their complaints, Or to procure their peaceable dispersion, does not satisfactorily appear. Dispositions, as the Gazette says, were made to at• tack them; which was done at Lebenar, on the 20th of December. In the contest 100,43 i the natives were killed, and 594 made prisoners. These men were all disarmed, and by the Magistrates' were delivered into the care of the military, that they might be guarded and convtyed to Indramayo. .On their arrival they were put into a coffee store-house within the, fort, and the temporary prism was surrounded by sentinels. —ln the course of the flight, some of these poor crea- Lres having endeavoured to get out, for the purpose, as is now believed, of enjoying the freshness of the open air, the Dutch guard fired in among them; and, horrible to relate, continued their execution, in spite of Mr. MATENAN the Magistrate, and under the eye of their own officers, until three hundred of these unarmed, unresisting, helpless human creatures, were massacred in cold blood ! The prayers and corn• mands of the Civil Magistrate were equally disre garded on this occasion,• which was but the first act of an atrocious tragedy. The survivors were em barked in coffee-prows, and dispatched up the River to Caroug-Sauberg—while on the River they were accused of a second attempt to escape, when the former dreadful scene was renewed, and nearly two hundred more were mercilessly slaughtered ! So insatiate was the thirst for Javanese blood, that of 594 made prisoners after the attack upon them by the Dutch troops, only 113 remained alive when the account of these frightful transactions was written, in the month of January following. The pretext for this barbarity was despicable as it was irrational. That prisoners, who had surrendered with arms in their hands, should, alter being disarmed, have me naced any violence against their captors, is utterly foolish and incredible. The Javanese are described by Sir STAMFORD RAFFLES as a singularly mild and inoffensive people. Oppression and cruelty may change those characteristics ; and, contrasted as are the scenes we have described with those to which the dative population were habituated, since the conquest of the island in 1811, it is not surprising if (as stated in our Paper of Thursday) they attacked the Dutch forts under cover of the British ensigns. We give this day some interesting official Papers, relative to the progress of the Patriot cause in Vene zuela. Ot its ultimate success, they scarcely leave room for any doubt. The last accounts from the north-west country of Canada are from the Red River, dated in the middle of August. The ,of Govermtient had held Lord SELKIRK to bail in the sum of £6,000 to appear in Montreal on the Ist of March next, but the north-west partners hid refused to become bound to prosecute, as they considered his Lordship ought to have been sent clown' a prisoner, on the heavy charges alleged against him. The prosecution of course must be conducted at the suit and expense of Government. Captain MATHEY, D'Onsouses, Messrs. ALLEN, ALEXANDER li'Dornaz, PAMPBUIN, M'Laoo, and Baucs, in the service of Lord SELKIRK, were also held to trail to appear at the same time on different charges, from the sums of £3500 to /MO There had been some quarrels between the Indians, and the country generally was in a most distressing stare, the .Colonists and Traders being scarcely able to procure sufficient food for their subsistence. It was expected Lord Sitxtag would return to Canada before the close oldie season. Further accounts are daily ex• pected from Montreal, from the interior. A Proclamation for the Meeting of Parliament, on Wednesday, the 27th of January, was, we under stand, agreed upon at the Council held at Brighton on Thursday, and will appear iu the Gases s of tonight. Sir G. WARRENDER. Bart. entertained a large party of distinction, yesterday, at his residence at the Admiralty. Lord HOLLAND, who arrived from Paris on Thurs. day, much ilidispostd, was six weeks confined with the gout in the above capital. His Lordship was considerably recovered yesterday. Sir VICARY thus has, Ir•,m continued ill health, resigned the Recordership The mention of the 1 see hlun. Mrs. Caverantsu were dep .sited on Wedoe.d..y last, in the family vault in All Saints Church, At Derby. Lord G. H. CAVENDISH has left town for his seat. Latimers, Bucks. The Earl and Countess of DARNLEY and family have left Paris for Rome, where they intend , to reside the winter ; they are expected home about April. Mrs. FITZHaItIIBRT and Miss Sermon* are shortly expected home from Paris.. • The receipts from the Duke of DEVONSHIRes pro perty in Great Britain, upto Christmas last, amounted to one hundred and forty thousand pounds, clear of all deductions. The Irish estates produce an immense sum, but this is never taken out of the truntry, for every shilling is expended op the castled, houses, fume, itc. thus giving employment, throughout the year, to a vast number of people. Chatsworth, the beautiful seat of the Duke of Dz. running, will be a scene of great festitity and enter tainment during the holidays s great preparations are making, his Grace having invited a most numerous and elegant assemblage of distinguished fashionablits. The Marchioness of Taoism% the Countess of CASTLE STUART, Lady S. STUMM the Marquis of WORCESTER, She Bishop Of Cumin, the HOn. Mrs. • DISIMINT, and the Hon. Mrs. Burcza, have joined the distinguished circle' at Cheltenham. Lord and Lady Doc= are arrived at their seat, Woodchester Park, Gloucestershire, from a tour. We have the satisfaction to state that the Dar of Twos." has consented to receive a man of science and literature at bis Court, to reside there, and ac quire the language and manners of the country ; after which he will give him a military escort to pe netrate into the interior of Africa. la consequence of this Josarn Rrreute, Esq. now the pri►ate .Secroi tart' of Sir CHARLES STUART, is selected as the per— son highly qiialified for this undertaking. He will be appointed Consul at Tripoli ; and c he will travel with the Caravan to Tombnctoo. This, after all the unsuccessful expeditions that have taken place, pro mises to produce the information so much wanted. No peison is better qualified. fur the important task than Mc. !LITCHI& :DEW, NOrEMBIIII2§. At an early hour, yesterday morning, the Pump Room and the adjoining streets were crowded with well.dressed persons, in the deepest monrnine, anxi ous to obtain a sight of the Royal visitors. At nine o'clock, the Duke of CLARENCE entered the Puvi Room. accompanied by General TAYLnK anti Co kind Desznow, and shortly after, the Renter re cioested the company jn leave the room, it being the wish of the Qt:scxr, that during the present week her visits to the Pomp Room s'ould be in private. Before the company had fully retired her MAJESTY arrived, accompanied by the Princess ELTEADCTII, and at tended b) Lady It.ctresTett, in a carriage and pair. Her MaimTr alighted, as before, at the Colonade in Stall -street, and walked from thence to the Pump Room, supported by the Princess ELIZAUETH and the Duke of CLAIIENCE. and was received at the door by Dr. Gnats, her MAJcrres Physician, JAME% KITSON, Esq. the Mayor. and the Masters of the Ce remonies.—Her MAJESTY again drank the waters, and expressed her opinion that they were very hene. ficial to her health. His Royal Highness the Duke' , of etatteNc.c also took a glass, but the Pri"cess Er.t• z.serris declined it, observing that sherfelt herself in such perfect health' as to have no need of medicine. The Qum/ shortly afterwards retired to her car riage, with the Prin:ess &maims and Lady IL CHESTER, and returned through some of the principal streets to her house in Sydhey-plate. His Royal Highness the Duke of CLaitarice returned on foot. At two o'clock, the QUEEN, the Princess Ewa. BETH, and the Duke of CLARENCE. with the Countess of ILL:nem:a, again left' the Royal residence in car riage and four, and,. attended by a guide and out riders, proceeded t.t make a complete tour of Bath. As the cars iage passed the Sydney Gardens, the Royal guard of tl.e 38th regiment turned out, the colours were lowered, and the drums beat a royal salute. After visiting almost every square, crescent, and street in the place, her MA4II7ITY returned to dinner. In the course of the day, a number of the Nobility and Gentry left their names at the Queen's house ; bat at present there is little company here, her MA. JEETV not having been expected to return quite so early. The Qusex is graciously pleased to take frequent occasions of expressing her entire satisfaction at her reception at Bath, and with the place in general. She has also signified her intention of reenaining here until the 2sd of December, when it .is supposed she will return to Windsor, to pass Christmas. LAUNCESTON. NOVEV/DER 26. The death of our much beloved and amiable Pets cess was acutely telt by' the inhabitants of this town. I who were anxiously anticii , ating the glad tidines that ! she was become the happy mother of an heir to a justlrenvied throne. In the national disappointment I we participated, but in the death of so amiable' a woman, each one felt that he had lost a near and dear relative. On the day of her interment every shop was shut and btisine,s siispended : tie Chute!) and Dissenting Chapels were hung with black, and the greater pan of the inhabitants were attired in 4, the trappings and the snits of woe." The Evening Service co.nmenced at sit o'clock, when the Corpo• ration. preceded by the Clergyman, walked in deep Mourning to their seats, and heard an excellent Ser mon from Ecclesiastes'•', verse '2, tt /Per that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart." And it were needless to add, that where grief was so acutely felt, the eulogiums. at all the places of worship, on our departed Pamela, were accompanied by the tears of the auditors. • . Mr. Peet, has written to the Mayor of Cork, inti- I mating, that orders had been issued to the Inspector of Windows and Hearths, with a view to have those which have been closed line, the last year, re-opened, free of duty, wherever it may be deemed necessary to the health of the inhabitants.—We are glad to ob serve this act of humane concession—but wish the eery. 'Fleet had been somewhat extended. It is not the few windows which have been closed within the last year, but the windows alter windows which daily increasing poverty have obliged the people to shut up for a long precession of years, that has produced that maximum of eloserm, :apish has been the. great source of that wide-spreading lever which has ot late committed such ravages on the population of Ireland. Why is not a tax so abhorreat to humanity repealed altogether ? We are.assnred that the British Government has signified its intention to give permission to any of the followers of BoNAPARTF at St. Helena, to quit that Island, who may apply for leave so to do. Letters' from Itos:i t state that the Emperor and the Imperial Family will return to Petersburgh the latter end of the present month : They have given up their intention of passing the winter at Moscow, on account i t the advanced pregnancy of the Grand Duchess Alexandiina, whose accouchement is to take place at Petersburgh. The Emperor will pass some time at Wars.iw towards the close of the winter. COVENT-Q.AUDES THEATRE. SHAKSPFARE'S de lightful Comedy of Much Aio dhow Nothing was per formed last night. Mr. C. KEMBLeB Bentdict is, in our opinion. one of his very best parts; but the no velty of the evening was Miss BRVNTON'S Beatrice. This young Lady continues to improve ; the want of energy that impeded the effect of her first attempts, seems gradually to here given plice. to bolder feelings as her acquaintance with the audience increases. The Beatrice was a sprightly unaffected performance throughout. The arch playfulness of her manner was well adapted tc• the early scenes pf the play, and her indignant reproaches against the slanderers of flee*. were uttered with more spirit thad we could have ex pected from an) effort ofainspassiened declamation we had hitherto witnessed from her. With proper allowance tor. her youth and inexperience, the im portant undertaking of last night is entitled to a high degree of praise.
