JIM IC,d P4PERS. ',Pe , KINGBTON, DECEMBER 18. (korai Simon Belivars has published a manna *, for the purpose of inviting all foreigners, of J . te eee nation or profession they may be, to esta. iT h t h em selves in these provinces under the imme (liAte protection of Government, who wilt dispense to . o ce to them openly and frankly. He gives this ,Matt „ n, fully poluaded that the fertility of the soil, i ts varinus and precious productions, the mildness of d i e climate, and the prudent administration which „ wow personal security, and preserve the sacted :lets of property, will confer upon emigrants all the advantages and comforts that they could enjoy in t heir own countries. Action has laid an embargo on all vessels in the v a s of Hayti under his authortity, in consequence of the late detentions in this island (Jamaica). It now appears that the Government of Carla .6a i s disposed to Check, as much as possible, priva ering, as it has latterly demanded a considirable i ncr ease of securities before it will permit any vessel of this description to proceed to sea. privateers, under different colours, it seems, abound e the coast of Cuba ; and Puente Escondido is their b ea d quarters. By private letters from Curacoa, swe Warn that Puente Cavelle still holds out against the independent arra y. The latter has possession of the adjacent country.. The Royalists, we understand, lost, in lan ding at Laguira, 200 men, and nearly 2004nore have died since in garrison there. Latterly there has not been any intercourse be. tween the island of Trinidad and the insurgents on the Spanish Main, in the neighbourhood of that co lony, in consequence of a coolyeception having be en given to an Embassy of the Revolutionists. he t r ade, therefore, which Vas formerly carried on with Trinidad, by means of these branches, has been trans. ' fared to the island of Granada. ST. SEBASTIAN *MIL. (FROM Tilt VITTORIA PAP/at OS JAN. 11. ) 46 However difficult it appears to settle a solid peace whilst Bonaparte is in existence, it appears in dubitable that they are treating about it. In respect. to the intelligence from France, it is said that Bona— parte has stated, in a Message to the Senate, that it was necessary to admit the propositions which the Allies had . presented for peace. .With regard to England, we are assured that Lord Castlereagh was to set out for the head-quarters of the Attie% furnish. ed with full powers to enter into negociations. -At Passage there has lately arrived a Spanish Officer, who is said to be brother to the Conde deFernanunez. and tifit he brings dispatches for Government ; and at Madrid there has arrived the Duke of San Carlos, who came asiaras Vich, escorted by Frebchmete-.- and brings, we are assured, dispatches relative to peace. We have before us a letter , from that ciipital, l in which it is stated that the Council of State was going to have an extraordinary meeting, at which the said Duke and the English Ambassador would assist. It adds, we are easy, because nothing'can be concluded without the approbation of the Cortes.— At what other period could oppressed Sppiards say as much ?" , • The Vittoria Paper of the 15th of January, atter _giving the Decree of the Ist of January, 1811, de. Oaring void all acts and agreements of the King, during his oppression, without or within Spain,. con tains tile following remarks:—" in the state in which Bonaparte now finds himself, with hi's infamous and perfidious dispositions, a new intrigue would not be extraordinary. We all know the man, although he considers himself so great : hi does not fail to have recourse to the most , abject knd humiliating means, when they lead to that end which he proposes. On the other side, the candour of our beloved Ferdinand his inexperience, the want of Counsel, of guide; what wonder would .it be, should the Corsican seduce, him, and by deceit or by violence, oblige him' to sign a, contract ?—Spaniards ! let us be on our, guard; there is scarcely one among us who dues not understand the value of the treaties and promises of 'Bonaparte-r -ich° does not comprehend his views; which are, to separate et, at any expence, from our Allies, in order to smooth his difficulties in this part, proceed, with all his forces. to tar Rhine, and afters ards return with the same to oppress us. - Should he succeed in em broiling us among ourselves, so much the better for him. Let us be on our guard, gpaniardr. . This is' all the comment we shall make at present upon the Decree, to which the mystericus and sudden arrival of the Duke of San Carlos at Madrid has given rise:" PRINCESt OF PORTUGAL INVI rED TO SPAIN. " LissoN, 74N. 10, 1814. " It is stated, with the utmost cnidiAeace, in the best informed circles here, that the Cortes, uoder the impression that the release of Ferdinand VII. was ler) , distant, if not hopeless, sent. a short tune since, au invitat,-an to the Princess of Portugal , Who is in! the Brazil s , to re-tiara to Europe, and Assume. the sceptre of the Spapish Monarchy. This Princess ' , who is the consort of the Prince Regent, is in her owti right heir to the throw. in' the event of the I death of the captive family in France_ Ihe fact or. the invitation having transpired, mated much alarm in this capital. It vat urged by the polititians,th* as it could not- be supposed that the Prince would live separate frogs his wife, and as their offspring would inherit both Crows, it seas probable that dse two countries might be relied immediately, in whiek case Machid would be the capital, and Portugal would be reduced to the degraded situation of a pop virce of Spain. History might be quetea to demon orate the anspoliey of Such an-union, which will never obtain the cordial Concurrence of - the Portuguese.— The attempt will certainly endanger the succession of the reigning family. " The Brio* Government, it is known, are not anigos to facilitate the threatened union of the two • countries. It is even rumoured, chit if they cannot Prevent the Princess from coming over, they will en deavour that she shall be accompanied by - the Prince, . her consort, and trust to his good sense and affection for gill continuing to his countrymen the blessings•of hadependent Government."

A pod deal of busineis was transacted this morning, al though it iris a Holids/ at tht !lank. Omnitttn commenced at 191, and is now (twelve o'clock) at £oi. ••••1•••=1•• Letters from the South of Europe, received this morning, state, that MURAT hag exchanged his Kingdom for a Dukedom in Carinthia, with 1100,000.—Let us hope that this intelligence will soon be confirmed. French• Papers to the 27th inst. hive arrived since Saturday. They announce the important fact .of BONAPARTE'S departure for the Army : this event took place on the 25th, and, as a proof of the confidence entertained by the Pdrislans in the successs of his exertions for the recovery of his power, the Funds in stantly felt from 46i to 48 and a fraction. Another still more portentous event preceded his departure : a Decree was promulgated suspending the law fixing the rate of interest, and permitting borrowers and Tenders to form any arrangements in this respect they please • It is evi'dent, that the shattered remains of the Fretzh armies are concentrating, probably in the vicinity of Chalons-sur-Marne, where, as we have already hinted, the Allies expect to give them battle. We find that MACDONALD, joined by healsoir and SEBASTIA.NI, is on his way towards the same point: he will proceed along the Sambre and the Meuse. If we are to believe his Proclaization; issued at Maes tricht, his army is likely to be • rnost formidable, in point of numbers at least. We apprehend, however, , that the 100,000 troops of the line, and the 200,000 national guards, with whom he threatens to over whelm the Allies, are not yet forthcoming at his command. MORTIER is said to have had a successful affair with the enemy near Langres ; and AUGEREAU seems to be stationed in the vicinity of Lyons, which 'the Austrians had not reached. They were, however, within five or six miles of it. On she side of Savoy Generals LAROCRE.and DessAtx. are said to be em ployed. SOULT is described as having between 90 and 100,000 men under his command, and is full of confidence. Our Readers will see that there - is a vagueness and studied concealment in all the French statements which betray agreat watt of confidence in the re sources which have been collected to repel the inva sion ; and here it may not be amiss to caution our • fellow-countrymen against taking-up too hastily im plosions unfavourable to the ultimate success of the Allied Cause, froin the events which will -infallibly TelilliNfOTH BONAPARTE'S appearance *tile head of liis•troops. - - - . • r. That he will select . his field of operations in a quarter where he is most likely to gain a temporary advantage, cannot be doubted—a slight skirmish with the advanced troops, ofany part of the Allied forces, will be magnified into a deci4ve victory, and an at tempt will thus be made to excite a popular feeling In his favour, for of thissgrand engine, in repelling the present invasion of France, he is evidently much in want. - We see nothing its the " sublime and affecting pic ture" of the parting scene between the Empress and the King of ROME and BONAPARTE, as described in the Preach Paperi, to shake our conviction that the war, which BONAPARTE is now waging. against the Allies is a popular war. In BONAPARTE'S farewell Speech he is said to have spoken with a " tremaou."voice. We can well be iilieve it. It must have been nearly inaudible, when .fse was forced to allude to the Cosacks. "If in the grantmanoeuvres which are prepariqg" (every thing is still grand with him) " some hordes of light troops. 41are to insult the barriers, I am sure the inhabitants will'not forget that their Sovereign has conferred its defence to them." The " tremulous sensibility" in which he takes his !departure from Paris is of a piece with the magnani mous silence in which he prepared for it—he is evi `dandy-heartless. The moody tyrant of SHAKESPEARE was sevti half so reckless of his fate : . “ Thou sound and him sec earth • . lieu net my steps,.which waythey walk, for fear Thy very stones prate of my whereabout, ; And take the present. horror from the time Which now suits with WI 1 - We have also received a supply of Dutch Papers to-the 26t1). They state, among other important facts, chat Wittenberg has at length surrendered. Thief event places another small army at the disposal of the Allies, for tht prosecution of ulterior objects. The fall of Magdeburgh will probably be the next event ip, the war upon the Elbe. The inhabitants of Ham burgh are not yet freed from their invaders: • Colonel MASTERS arrived at the Secretary of State's Office, Earl BATHURST'S, with Dispatches from Lord WILLINGTON. No new event had taken , place. The French armies undet Boum. and Sucuzi were greatly superior to those of the Allies, and MaNA had been obliged to fall back. Colonel M4STMI returns to England on his promotion. • ! : • THE YA'UItBON Pltmat,. • Such was the highly commendable secrecy with which these distinguished" Personages made the ar rangemetits for their departure, 'that teveral inatett racies have crept into the public prints on the sub ject of their destination. We can no* state with confidence, that the only French-Prince who is gone direct France is the Duc D'Asciout.chez; he is by this time with Lord 'WELLINGTON. The Duke de Bantu is gone, not to Holland, bet to Jersey, where it it reported a small British squadron will be at-his disposal, to carry him to any part of the French coast 'where the presence of his Royal Highness may be wanted. That there is a strong disposition towards the restoration of the Bourbons thrpuglzout the whole of Normandy has been long since placed beyond doubt by positive and direct communications from the.inhalsitants. The British authorities in Guernsey itnd Jersey have repeatedly made representations on this subject to the British Ministry. His Royal Highness MONSIEUR goes to Switzer land, with the view of raising a small army, or rather some battalions of Swiss Guards. While on this subject, we can now state, upon authority little short of official, that the Austrian General Count Bustct s :suddenly changed his route (which was at-first - di:tiled for Dole and Dijon) to wards Lyon - s, upon -a deputation being sent from that city, to supplicate the assistance of the Allies to enable them to throw f the yoke of BONAPARTE'S Go vernment. They have engaged, it is understogd, to proclaim Louis XVIII. the instant. they receive assurance from the Emperor ALEXANDER (and this Sovereign is individually appealed to by the Lyonese) that he will not abandon them, whatever may be the result of the struggle' for their ancient rights. These sentiments were communicated by General Bonsa to the Allied Sovereigns; but they declined giving any pledge until the arrival 4 Lord CASTLE REACH. In the mean time, they directed General BUENA .to advance upon Lyous ; and the departure of the French firirice's from London was hastened by 'the communications to which we have just alluded. From the vicinity of Lord WELLINGTON'S present head-quarters to Lyons, it is most probable that the Duc d'Aticota.Eme will be the first Prince of the House of Bout bon who will hoist. the standard of'his forefathers in France. We trust that ALEXANDER the DELIVERER and - WELLINGTON the LNyiNcisLe will be present at this most gratifying and and animating scene. Lyons has suffered more than any other city in France for its attachment to its legitimate Sovereigni. Strangt. infatuation I- ( we think we hear some Jacobin ex claim) will she.Lyonese be ,the first to restore the farpily which has caused them so much misery ? [ his tags to Three great men at present sway the destinies of Europe—Lord CASTLEREAC A H—the CROWN PruNcr., and BONAPARTE —Three great engines are also at work for the deliverance of the Cuntinent—Peditinr— Strategy and Tactic:. Here we must remark that strategy means all the operations of armies out 01 the reach of cannon shot. Tactics refer to the mili tart' movements of armies when actually engaged. An ingenious and witty public writer (General SAE.. nAziN) thus estimates the qualifications of the three teat men who have just been n.imed.—ln politics ord CASTLEREAGH is a Rase-horre—BERNADOTTE a .80—BoNapAirrE a Fax.

Lord CASTLEREAGH th e Rant, with Me Golden Fleece ! • DEITEOTION OF MURAT.—+( KING OF NAPLEII•- This event was very confidently stated on Satur ay, upon the alleged authority of letters from Naples of the 6th instant. The difference between MURAT and NAPOLEON has long been matter of notoriety. — It is stated to have originated in an expressed determina tion of the latter to unite Naples to the French Em pire, and to indemnify his kinsman with territory in Poland. The proposal being received with dissoitis faction, the execution was not pressed ; but an ins.' pression was left upon the mind of MURAT, that he should some time or other be sacrifice, which the subsequent tyrannical, capricious, and violent con duct of BQNAPARTE was calculated to confirm. The seeds of dissatisfaction thus sown took deep root, and were matured by the disasters of the campaign in Russia, followed by the reproof in cme of the lin petial Bulletins. Since his return to his capital, ad. vices from Sicily informed us, that he had, by means -af flags of tru=e, opened a communication with Lord BENTINCK, who had sailed from the island in a 74-gun ship, without the destination bells known.— The letters said to have been received on Saturday state, that his Lordship proceeded by appointment, to the Bay of Naples, which be entered. The result of this visit was a negociation for a Treaty of Peace and Alliance between King JOACHIM and the Allied Powers, which received the signature of the respec tive Plenipotentiaries on the sth inst. MURAT pre serves bis kingdom upon condition of co-operating with the Allies. COVENT GARDEN THF.ATRIL—The Tragic Play of Pizarro was perform*d on Saturday evening. Mr. KEMBLE sustained the part of Rolla exquisitely well ; his noble and commanding figure—the grace andel.- gance of his action—the acute discrimination with which he delivered the tent, accompanying it with that corresponding alteration of features, which im mediately expresses the passion intended to be repre sented—most fully met the idea which the mind forms of the magnanimous Chieftain. The prison-scene, the interview with Pizarro, and the concluding scene, in which he vainly endeavouri to persuade the Sfranirlt Leader, to deliver up .dlosszo': child, were full of deli cate feeling and unaffected dignity. Mrs. M , GutsoN supported the character of tivira with correctness and propriety.—The rest of the characters were well sustained by the respective petforteers. _ _ ~- INTELLMENCE: - Ja. • All the Mails rtne en Saturday arcl ,Sutuday hive arrived.—''he Mai.s due this day were all lite. following are dumb that had act 'arrived it tuciv eclock, viz :—Bathy Bristoly Cambridge, Exert:, Edinburgh, Nonce ter, Leeds, Manchester, Shrev.) • busy and Holyhead, and theTaunton.
