To enable our Readers to form an opinion for themselves on the truth or falsehood of the defection of General Totem, we have this day inserted the whole of the intercepted Cornaposchwee. We sag: gated yesterday, that possibly the documents were mere fabrications by the Royalists, to ruin the cha racter of Totand with the Patriots. The more these letters shall be examined, the more, we think, the inference will be doubted which the American Editor has drawn from them. That attempts may have been made to corrupt TOLIDO, and that thii General may have applied to his father for a pecuniary sup ply. is very likely t and it seems pretty plain that the 5000 dollars *tie not to come from the Royal Treasury, bat from the pociet of his own father.— It is very well known to be a part of the Spanish po litical tactics to employ people to write falsehoods, calculated to perplex, by exciting distrust among their opponents, which always operates for a longer or shorter time before the trick can be exposed.— Read, for example, all the Royalist accounts of the war in South America. How often hen they killed the Patriot Generals and destroyed their armies 1— The object of these falsehoods was to prevent those who were preparing reinforcements from sending them forward. We strongly suspect' that this traitor will, like *Gannon, whom the Royalists have several times Idled, dream, and quartered, be'found., by and by, giving, by his swords the lie direct to this attempt to injure his well-eaeped fame. However this may be, we will not give up either our hopes or our good wishes for the cause of South American independence, while we perceive the same degree of ardour and correct principles by which the efforts and aims of the patriots have been hitherto characterised. We will not take upon us to arraign the conduct and motives of those who direct oar own national affairs, is leaving to their own efforts men who were incited to um themselves against the ty ranny of Old Spain ; for our Ministers may have reasons, and good reasons for their conduct : but of one thing we are certain, that every honest mars in the kingdom who is precluded from the knowledge of the policy, the facts, and the motives by which their conduct is regulated, wishes well to the op. pressed millions who are now struggling for the blessings of liberty—foe emancipation from the chains to/ tyranny and-superstitioe. How should it be possible that any other send. meat should actuate the majority in this country, when all the circumstances of the case are duly Neighed? This cohatry panted for a free trade with, South Anntricasetit tits colonists arms and ammo, ninon—simulated times to rise against the Mother. country..-sad confessed, for a time, by every public proceeding, that their cause was a just one.—Bot, the Beloved hounsaint has since been mated on the Throne!! Has that event altered' any one fact re• ze k t on tg u tbe oppression and tyranny exercised over the , and which was ow piths principal grounds On which they Were invited to thrdw off the Spanish yoke 1 But Lag Josses would have done every thing to prevent this country from having any com mercial intercourse with Booth Amain I Would he; And what has FIOMOUISID date to favour you in this respect t Does not every Mail front Spain bring con-, armadas of his decided 'hostility to Brit 4h commercei Does not every am of this bigot, instead of exhibiting, any thing like gratitude, betray the most deeprootec enmity and unrelenting hostility to the nation of here rip who lute corrupted the religious principles of al the rod Catholics who bad she misfortune to - eoure in contact with bit armies I ! Bat this is Dow wearing off—the enmity of FIUDISAND is relaxing, and we have now every prospect of reaping the reward of oar services to the Spanish Monarchy."—Let fools please themselves with snch nonsense. Look at the facts. Letters from Spain of the 6th ultimo state, that the Kttao has afresh prohibited the sale of all foreign Cot tons, that is British, even those which- had been imported int• Spain with all the requisite per missions. This prohibition is to be acted upon in positive manner, and to extend to all the Ame rican Provinces possessed by Spain. Hence the immense trade over the Isthmus of Panama from Jamaica is to have an end, unless the local authori ties take the responsibility on themselves. The Phi lippine Company, with the new year, are to enter on all their former privileges, that is, they are to become the sole monopolists of the Spanish dominions in cot ton goods. . .

By the Mail received this morning we learn, tbat the whole impression of a work, considered as a libel against the Bounnozss, has been seized at Brussels. The author is not believed to be a Belgian, but a Frenchman. Several actions for libels are going on 'in the Belgian Courts. Never (says one of the Journals) at any period under any of the Govern ments which have prevailed in Belgium, were our tribunals occupied with such scandalous affairs—they become so frequent that the organs of justice are weary of them."- 0 Weary I" indeed I Let them not tit* so soon. The blessing of a free press must not be thrown away as account of the inconvenience which, for a time, it may occasion. Bdi the topic principally interesting to the English Reader, in the journals brought by this hfail, is what relates to the proceedings of the SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES-GENERAL, lon the concluding discussion of the Law respecting the Exportation of Corn. The PRESIDENT stated the question to be ‘ ll The discussion of the proposed Law for the Prohibition of the Exportation of Corn by the lailfrentierr aj she It is impossible to gather any thing frons the jour nals of the speeches delivered on the question. The Editors seem quite unequal to a task of this kind, and all that can be learnt from their Report is, who agreed with and whet differed from the opinion enter tained by the Reporter. The latter, of course, are mentioned n itbout. encomium, but the former as speaking with energy—with eloper:a —as uttering ter rible oaths on the actual state of the people, Etc. &c. The debate was long ; and it appears that, when the Dutch Members, who were generally in favour of exportation, were delivering their sentiments, the , audience in the galleries displayed the greatest im. patience, and uttered loud murmurs of disapproba tion, which obliged the President frequently to call them to order. The Minister of the Interior, who sets present, answered the objections of several Members. His Etalimey gave the Chamber the assurance that his Majesty has not suffered a single circumstance to escape his attention, and that he was persuaded that, if the measure should not produce the desired effect, his Majesty would hasten to propose another. The debate being terminated, the President put the question upon the Law, which was adopted by a majority of 72 votes to 2. Thus has the question been decided in favour of an Wertreiwewt EXperiatiOe Of Core free, all As See-tOrtS plain proof that in Holland and the Netherlands there is not only no scarcity of bread corn, but a su. perabundance., The knowledge of this fact, thus established, will have an instantaneous effect upon the prices of Coro in Britain. The Journalists seem generally to have been eat- min to an unrestrained Export, and of course they speak much of the distress that prevails ; and it is certainly true, that on the Southern frontier the prices are highs nor could it be otherwise, when it is recol lected that the French have, for some time, been dntwing supplies from the frontier Flemish districts. Thrt•French Government, if the Flemish accounts be true, is about to adopt a measure which will ren jer the new law nugatory u to the land frontier of Trance. - The law which prohibits the exportation of .Corn from Francs is to be repealed, so far as regards the Netherlands. This it may safely do, for the price being higher in the former kingdom, the holders of Corn in France will never think of seeking customers the Netherlands. • Thi knowing estracts present every thing else deserving of the slightest notice : FRANKFORT, DECEMBER as. The Diet held to-day its fourteenth Sitting ; after which, it adjourned to the 13th January. Several of the Members take advantage of this short vaca tion, to make a visit to their respective Cousts. ; A groom of the Prince of Sonderhausen, who had been sent to England to purchase horses, arrived in the evening of the 15th November at Liehtenau, near Paderborn, with four`hones. The neat morning; .when the stable wits opened, two of these horses were found dead, and the other two mina: their bellies had been ripped np so that the bowels came out. A fifill horse, of small value,' was untouched. The author of this act cf tyvaral .eled barbarity has just been discovered; he is a rich few, who usually supplied the Prince with hoists 'and who, by Stunt of a largo bribe, had engaged a hangman's servant to pot this crime in execution. The Jew hats been arrested, and thrown into the ri son of Sondershansen. BRUSSELS, DECEMBER t 7: The King's Attorney-General has ;died, v itl,in these few days, its a house in this City, the itiajc,i part of the edition of a horrible libel upon the Royai Family of France. Measures are taking to dibcnytt the authors or editors of this wicked production.— Mean time, we believe, we may assure our readers, that this libel is not from the pets of a Belgian. The Attorney General of the Criminal Tribunli of Luxemburg is going to bring an action fin. ca lumny befure the Courts of this City against the authors of the Nain Jaunt for what they ptiblie-ed against him in the affair of the giving up of Mr. Simon. BRUSSELS, DECEMBER 2s, The Correctional Tribunal of Namur condemned, on the 27th of November, three dealers in Corn to 4 fine of 30 florins each, for having, contrary to t c local regulations, entered the Corrmarket before t e fined hoer. The hectolitre of wheat was sold yesterctly at t• e market of Ghent, at forty franc: ; the sack of roc, toes at sixteen. BRUSSELS, DECEMBER lq. His Majesty, the King, accompanied by Prince Frederick and the Grand Marshal of the Palace, de parted this afternoon for Luxemburg. It is believed that the deplorable situation of the Grand Duchy in respect to subsistence, is the "tin , cipal cause of this journey. They write from Lille, that the French Govern ment is going to revoke the prohibition of the expor tation of corn to the Kingdom of the Netherlands from France. This measure seems to be in tended to render null for that Kingdom the Law which has been adopted by the Seeond Chamber of the States-General prohibiting the ex portation of corn lb the States bordering on our Kingdom where such a prohibition exists. GHENT, DECEMBER 29. The excessive the in the price of corn at the mar kets last Friday, bas destroyed the justest hopes. The mercantile spirit triumphs, and the cause of the ptb. lie is adjourned. The Corn is carrying olf in Co.! polders (low lands) with an alarming activity. Tr than a fourth of our population receives succour, afici mast renounce the use of bread. FRENCH PAPERS.

The Memoir of one Sieur Anteing of Paris v:.. remitted to the Commission on Finance. He pro poses to retain one-tenth of the gratoities upon fusions, and calculates that the return to the pitbkc treasury would be upwards of twenty millions. The adjourned discussion on the Law of Elzcti , rs was then resumed. The Marquis de MONTCALM could not agree wi , h the Report of the Commission ; but it was for reatcr,l quite different from those which had been given by most of the Members who had delivered their seini inents. It had been objected, that the proposed faw did not admit a sufficient number of persons to the privilege of voting; but he thought, on the contrary, that the Electors would be by far too nnmerom.— How extraordinary, to see a College of 16,000 Elec tors meeting to return only eight Deputies !--fie thought that the number of Electors should be so re gulated as to be only a hundred times greater than the number of Deputies. The qualification o! pay ing 300 francs of taxes seemed also highly excep tionablenot more on account of those whom revo lutions had despoiled of all but their loyalty, than of those who had profited by their ruin.
