The Funds experienced a temporary and trifling rise yesterday, in consequence of a report from Am sterdam, that the American Funds selling there had risen ten per cent. The inference drawn by those who were not in the secret was—that the Negociations at Ghent had suddenly assumed a most pacific aspecti and that Great Britain had passed from all het claims for a new boundary. We firmly believe the reverse to be the case. The fact is, as we have al• ready hinted, the American Negociators at. Ghent have secret instructions from their worthless mas-' ter, to do every thing but snake Peace with Grunt . Britain. At Amsterdam they are playing-dda.kind of underplot against this country, by trying to 'Sego.' ciate a Loan, to enable him to carry on the War.....; We know that they have failed in thil 'attempt-, at Paris, and (will it be believed that their Agents had, the impudence to make this application) even in London! It is quite natural, therefore, in these trans atlantic tricksters to raise the American funds by the circulation of what they know to be direct falsehoods, isa to the state of the Negotiations at Ghent. We trust that the PRINCE SOVEREIGN of Holland will act the same noble part which has distinguished the vir tuous and enlightened Sovereign of France, and ex pel t ra m his dominions all those Americans of doubt ful reputation, who are now prowling about Enisme in search of weapons withinsich to combat England., To-slay we receiirea Pans Papers of Tuesday, and, have selected tits most interesting part of their con tents. The articles which relate to the Vienna Con gress and the affairs of Spain are the most prominent. In the latter country there is evidently a smothered viticans4 which must presently have vent. A most wicked and malignant spirit seems to direct the Comas of the Government of that unfortunate country. Let us hope that, like other scourges of humanity, it carriis its cure along with it, and that Its violence will bring cni a bloodless and a happy Crisis ! If we except the enactment of severe restrictions on the importation of British manufactures and colonial I produce, little worthy of notice occurs in the Cham ber of Deputies. The Paris Papers now abound in temperate and well-written appeals to the people and to the world at large, with a view to induce a general spirit of peace, moderation, and good order. The personal character of the Sovereign of France, is more than once alluded to in these articles, as the best pledge to mankind that France and Frenchmen will no longer be the disturbers of the repose of Eu rope. Happy and sublime truth ! and how shame fully have statesmea and moralists neglected to en face it in latter days! Let our Readers lookat the relaxed state of morals in our own country during the reign of the thought less CHARLES 11. ; let them look at the improved Moral conduct sad increase of intellectual powers during the reign of our present most venerable and most exemplary Sovereign, whose private virtues alone have repeatedly saved the vessel of the State from fouradering ! We seek not to call up any disagreeable reflections by pointing to the moral state of France under the execrable tyrant and unprincipled villain who lately directed her energies, but may we not be,permitted to strengthen the argument we seek to inforce in favour of the influence of the personal qualities of the Chief of the State, by a reference to the population of Ame rica? Is it not notorious to all Europe, that the succes sive Presidentships of those atheistical and dishonour able wretches, JEFFERSON and Mitursorr, have demo ralized that once-respectable people ? We ask such of our Readers as have lived in society to compare the moral character of a Federalist or Washingtonian American with that of a disciple of the Jeffersonian or Madisonian School. The former is a Christian and a gentleman—the latter an atheist and a ruffian! PARIS, NOVEMBER 21. We have this instant received the important news which follows, and which puts an end to all uncer tainty as to the Negociatlons at Ghent : " HAVRE, NOVIMBIII 19. " The American ship Fingal has arrived here to day. She left New York on the 23d October, with Dispatches for Paris and Ghent. " The Americans have rejected the proposals of the English Government, of which Mr. DALLAS was the bearer, on board of the John Adams; and the Fe deralists have joined the Republicans to continue the war with more vigour." A great number of letters from Vienna, which have arrived to-day, contain the most satisfactory details The Allied Powers. struck with the spirit of wisdom and moderation which pervades the communications of the Minister of France, seem disposed to measures of conciliation and justice, which alone can lead to a solid and durable peace. Their politics, better enlightened, embrace a longer range into futurity, and they seem to agree in recog nixing,- that: k ialpOrtant WI the ellnillisrinfd of team. theta,* King of France, as eldest son of the Great Family, -.herald 'preserve that preponderance of which the virtues of the august reigning family render him so worthy. These virtues are the surest guarantee that France will never, in future; use that preponderance but for the repose and happiness of, the world. Private letters from Madrid announce the arrest of the Minister of Justice Don Pedro Macanaz. He is in prison, shut up from all communication. Our Correspondents at Bayonne confirm this extraordinary intelligence, and refer to the Gicial Gazette, which we have not yet received. M. Macanaz had been long detained at Vincennes, he was then Secretary to King Ferdinand, who was at Valenc ay. On his arrival at the Ministry he signed the circulars of the 4th and 30th of May last, which produced unhappiness to so many families. We shall endeavour to make our Readers acquainted with the causes and consequences of this event, which may have a great influence on the political system of the Court of .Madrid. They speak here of the speedy creati , n of six Mar. shah of France, among whom will be found the name ii General Desseles. Avery appearance announces that the approaching *inter will be brilliant at Paris ; already several large town establishments have been opened, and the parties given have been frequent, and numerously attended. Anxiety as to the future no longer induce the rich to economize revenues, which, under the reign of the wretch Bonaparte, they justly regarded as uncertain. In future it will not require Imperial Decrees to compel our Grandees to sustain honour ably their rank in society, and already every thing has resumed the appearance of affluence, comfort, and security. Two grand sepulchral monuments are tobe erected by public subscription to the memory of the brave Roya!;-• - - Ists who fell in the sacred cause of truth, hu manity, justice, and religion, at Quiberon. One of these monuments will mark the spot which was ren dered memorable by their deaths, and the other will adorn the grave in which their ashes are deposited. FRANKFORT, NOVEMBER 14. The Gazette of Aix-la-Chapelle says, we know for certain, that for the present at least, Belgium will not be united to the provinces of Lower and Middle Rhine, or those provinces to Belgium. VIENNA, NOVEMBER 11. The fate of Saxony continues to occupy the public mind. People ask what has become of those general principles of public law, annbunced and recognized by the Grand Powers assembled at the Congress of Vienna ? They had, as it was said, at the outset re nounced the system of simple convenience and perso nal interest, as well as every idea of conquest. No change could take place in the various Metes but t what was.to have for its object the general good, and the establishment of the equilibrium, and even the aggrandisement of certain Powers was to be merely thy result of the general acquiescence of the other powers. Nevertheless the House of Austria, the Ambassa dor from France, all the Princes of the House of Saxony, the Powers of the second order, who tremble for themselves, take a warm interest in favour of the kingdom of Saxony ; -and yet it disappears without these great principles, pending their application. 111 is true that it may be answered to these politics that ) the fate of Italy, of the Banks of the Rhine, of a pattl of Germany, and of the Pays Bas, is not decided, and' that we cannot have clear ideas, or sit in judgment, until the whole shall be regulated. The future alone can enlighten us : it will reveal to us things of which we are ignorant, and which ought to render us cir cumspect. The Ambassador from France enjoys here a high consideration. Embarrassing negotiations are on foot respecting the Kingdom of Naples ; and it would seem that the Diplomatists ate far from coming to an understand ing on this important subject. It is generally be lieved that the Court of France wishes to replace the Crown of Naples on the bead of Ferdinand IV.— England, on the other hand. seems to desire that Joachim shall remain ; and Austria appears to take the part of Mediator. Our Court, which is resolved to wait for the issue of the deliberations of the Congress on this head, has happily, found, in the Congress itself, a reason to de fer, till after the departure of the Allied Sovereigns, going into mourning for the Queen of Sicily, since mourning would be incompatible with the fetes to be given to its illustrious guests. The delay puts the Court of Vienna the more at its ease, as it can then publicly announce whether it goes into mourning fur the Queen of Sicily, as the Court of London has done, or for the Queen of Na ples and Sicily, like the Court of France. It how ever cannot be concealed, that our Court is in an em barrassing situation in regard to King Joachim—on the one hand, it is too nearly allied by blood to the ancient House of Naples and Sicily, not to listen to its just demands; and on the other, it has contracted engagements, and commenced a Convention with King Joachim, made war in Italy, in concert with him, against Bonaparte, and is consequently en gaged towards him. Besides it could not but be Impolitic and very dangerous to renew the war in Italy, and yet this is what must be expected if an attempt should be made to force Joachim to . quit a throne of which he has been recognised the lawful possessor by solemn treaties; for it is very certain that arms alone would be able to do this. Novitiates 8.—.-The change operated in Saxony, and the determinations relative to the left bank of tl e Rhine, occasion. much bustle in the French Legation. Lenexa kin Italy announce that General Chancier hat entered Romagna, probably because King Joa chim, as is affirmed, is also advancing. VIENNA, NOV. l& (EXTRACT PROM A PRIVATE MITE.) Generally all false ideas as to the essence and ob.' ject of the Congress are rectified. The exaggerated expectations which had been formed as to this assem bly, become more moderate. It seems to be now ge nerally understood, that the Congress is not a consti tuted body, but a free meeting of Sovereigns and De puties from Independent States► Similar to former congresses it is not invested with any legislative power, even with respect to the laws of nations. It has no other object, as may be seen from the 32d article of the Treaty of Paris, than to facilitate and accelerate important negociations, and to smooth the difficulties which still divide the Continental Powers, and parti cularly to give, in the eyes of the people, more im portance and gravity to the results of these negocia tions, which, in other kespects, will follow the usual course of diplomacy. MADRID, NOVEMBER l& On the 7th instant his Majesty loft hi% Palace in his carriage, and proceeded in person to the residence of M. de Macanao, his Minister of Justice and of the Interior, and put the seals upon all the seals of the Ministry, and gave orders to M. de Macanaz •to go to prison. The portfolio of this Minister was given I to Don Thomas de Moyano, Councillor of State. The Madrid Gazette publishes this new nomination. A thousand conjectures are afloat on this extraordinary measure. It h generally thought that the work of M. Ameros, printed at Paris, in which we read that M. Macanaz, the Duke of San Carlos, and M. Es. coiquiz, had frequently solicited employment from King Joseph, is the cause of this marked disgrace. VITTORIA, NOV. 1. Letters from Madrid announce, that new arrests take place daily in that capital. It is painful to see distinguished General Officers included in this melan choly list. General Maya is still in confinement ; one would have thought that ancient remembrances would have abridged his captivity. The Council of Castile has been consulted as to the measures to be taken with respect to the sequestration put upon the property of those who bad fled into other countries. NAPLES, OCTOBER so. itROM Tat MONITEUR Of THIt TWO SICIIIES. The Duke of Rocca Romana, charged by his Ma jesty with an important mission to the Emperor of Austria, arrived yesterday at Portici. He brought to the King the formal act of the ratifications of this August Sovereign to the Treaty of Alliance with his Majesty, which had been previously confined to the simple autograph of the two Sovereigns. On this occasion the Emperor of Austria granted an audience of leave to the Duke de Rocca Routine, in which he was charged to express to the King the sentiments of his constant friendship, and of his unalterable system of supporting, in every way, the interests cf his ally, as well as the peace and tranquillity of Italy. EAST•INDIA SHIPPING. The STREATHAM Company's ship, the EAnt LONE. DALE license ship, and REGENT, KENT and CAROLINE country ships, and BONNETTA whaler, arrived off Hastings yesterday. The STREATHAM left Amboyna about the 19th of May, arrived at Batavia the 28th May, and was de tained there till the 20th July, in consequence of an embargo which the Government had imposed on :account of some American privateers being in that quarter, and which had made one or two captures— one of the privateers, of 20 guns and 200 men, bad 'been taken by •he 9WEN GLENDOWER frigate. The STREATHAM left Batavia the 20th July, in company whit the REGENT, EARL LONSDALE, and INDIAN, and, with the exception of the latter, which parted company and is supposed to have put into the Isle of France, arrived at St. Helena the 17th Sep tember : they left that Island with the KENT, CARO LINE, and BONETTA, the 23d, without convoy, but falling in with the LAUREL and Mout frigates under the line, they accompanied them to England. ' It is understood there was no cargo for the DEvoN SHIRE, and that she would, in consequence, be de , tained till the next season. An American privateer had been seen off St. He. lena.—The ships SURAT CASTLZ and ROYAL CUAR LOT YE arrived at Batavia on the sth of July last. Accounts were received at Batavia, in June, that the American frigate Essex was cruising, with seve ral privateers, in the South Sea, and that American cruizeri were in the China Seas. The country ship Adele was captured by an Ame rican privateer, off Pontiana ; other privateers were cruizing off the West Coast of Sumatra. In conse quence of this intelligence, it is said to be have been the intention of the King's Naval Commander in Chief to send some ships of war to Bltavia. It appears from what was yesterday stated in the House of Peers by the Earl of LIVERPOOL, in reply to a question from the Duke of NORFOLK, that it is the intention of Ministers to bring forward a proposition relative to the property Tax soon after the recess. His Lordship also intimated, that the details of the late affair at Plattsburg, and the Naval action on Lake Champlain would appear in the Gazette of to. morrow evening. GIBRALTAR, Nov. 3.—The progress of the Fever is arrested. Deaths are less frequent, and few bad cases remain in the hospital. The weather is changing towards Winter ; every day is colder than the pre ceding one, and there is no reason to doubt but that a fortnight will hardly have passed before our port ' will be opened. • FATAL EFFECTS OF DETONATING BALLSo••• OR the 19th instant, a Lady, in Dublin, unfortunately took one of them in her hand, and was scraping it with a knife, when, pressing it rather hard, it ex ploded, ad, dreadful to relate, shattered the knife in pieces, forcing the fragments into her throat, and, in the space of, ignites, she bled to death ! ALL IN TwaLva Houas!—On Wednesday next the whole of the STATE LOTTERY will be drawn— a few hours will distribute among the Public those Grand Prices which must secure to many an inde. pendent fortune for life.

W. long. 8. 43. W. at d 4. light, fresh breezes and squally, we saw a suspicious, schooner laying to on our lee-bows ; called ill hands, and prepared for action ; at half-past seven a. m. he made sail and tacked in our wake ; at nine, finding her gaining'on us fast, hauled the courses up, and hoisted our colours ; at ten cut away our boat, and commenced firing our stern guns; finding our shot to.carry over him, he hoisted American colours, and opened his fire; we continued our fire from our stern guns without interruption until 11 a. w. when he came abreast of us, and gave us a broadside, which we returned with every exertion. There being a high swell from the N. W. we did not receive any material damage; at 45 minutes past eleven he set his fore-sail, and ran a-head of us, still keeping up his fire; at noon he tacked and hauled his wind to avoid us. She was a long low schooner, with two topsails, yellow sides, and seven ports a side." Captain BULL, of the Marlborough, speaks in the highest terms of his Officers and crew, particularly of his master, Mr. *DONALD, from whom he received the greatest as sistance. PLYMOUTH, NOVEMBER 23.
