Prom the year 1794 to the present period, almost every attempt made by the American Government to check and to injure the trade of the British North American Provinces, has not only failed to effect the purpose intended, but in the event has proved seri ously injurious to their own commerce and revenue. Such is the nature of the Act now in force, by which .their vessels bringing flour, grain, &c. under the Bri .tiskZetPort Regulations, are frequently compelled • to in ballast, instead of taking back valuable cargoes, which our own vessels are now employed in carrying to the Canadian market. No less than four brigs and two large schooners hate been cleared at our Custom-house for Quebec, within the last fort ; and allowing this course of trade to pay but little more than the amount of freight and commis-, along, still, as the returns may be expected to super sede the remittance of large sums in specie to the United States, the advantage to be derived from it is great and obvious. Such, indeed, of the West India produce thus shipped, being taken up the St. Law rence by means of the present extensive inland navi gation, will doubtless find its way into the American States, and ultimately meet with a better market than had it been sent in Amerian vessels from hence to New York, Ecc.

The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this forenoon. The oily intelligence of interest with which they supply us, is contained in the following extracts re. 14tive to the progress of the epidemy in Spain : . PARIS, OCTOBER S. The Journal de Tolltoast publishes the following extract of a letter from Barcelona, of September 22 : “ The malady still continues its ravages in our city; we had L• st night an abundant rain, which was for a little time refresh ing, and must have produced a good eat*. Lit vs wait with resignation the end and result of this terrible malady." According to other letters of the same date, re ceived at Perpignan, the cordon of troops which was at the extremity of the plain, had advanced almost to the gates of Barcelona. This measure served the double object of preventing individuals, so inclined, from leaving it, and awing the evil-disposed from attempting depredations. A pillage is no longer to be feared ; a regiment and the National Guard does the service of the interior. Letters from the frontiers of Spain, dated 29th September, sate, that the inhabitants of Barcelonetta had attempted to force the barrier which separates them from the town. It was necessary, in order to repulse, to fire upon them ; several lost their lives on the spot. A ship from Tortosa, with a cargo of oil, has been refused admittance at Mataro, but was re ceived with some difficulty at Arem del Mar, where it unshipped its cargo. PUBLIC HEALTH.

The sa natory cordon formed on our mountains exercises an active surveillance. A smuggler tried to force the line; he was brought down by a ball, near St. Lau rent de Cerdans; his clothes and the goods he car ried with him svere burnt upon the:spot. This ex ample is deplorable, but it is unfortunately become necessary. Every precaution is taken, and the mea sures aro so well executed, that it is almost impossible that the contagion should penetrate within our line. A letter from Aix, of the 28th of September, says, that some Spaniards wishing to penetrate into France by the valley of Andorre, the inhabitants rose ex maw, and opposed a vigorous resistance. The Prefect of Arriege has, at their request, taken dispositions to send some troops to that point, in order to reinforce the cordon. An inhabitant who was absent from (tad-eet Aix, and w nrned into France by way of t h e mull has beenlrrestALsiand conducted to the Laza to established at the Hospitalet. Six ps, having on board a great number of French n, who -had embarked at Barcelona for Marseill did not wish to perform quarantine at Po mega., i ause at the time they arrived There the yellow fever was in the Lazaretto. These ships, how ever, requested leave to disembark at Collioure, but the Authorities would not grant it; permitting them, h owev er, to do quarantine at a little distance from that place.--French rive per Cents. Saturday, 891. BERMUDA. The little Island of Bertnuda is involved in the very a tempest, torrent, and whirlwind" of conten .tion, between the governors and the governed, be tween the Legislature and the inhabitants of the Colony. Papers from thence were received yester day to the 23d of August. The arbitrary imprison ment of the Churchwardens and the Mayor of Hamil ton—the former for want of sufficient promptness in adjusting their accounts with the Rector, and the latter for an alleged stretch of power in the mode of suppressing some disorderly assemblages of the peo ple of colour—have been mentioned by the American Papers with some expressions of surprise at the con- duct of Governor LUMLEY. The following account of the case of Mr. TILL, the Mayor, and that of a Captain HAYWARD, who as sisted in the suppression of the disorderly conduct alluded to, is taken from the Bern:adios of the Ist of August, divested, however, of much angry comment interspersed by the Editor a - " A complaint on the transaction was preferred before the Justices of the Peace, who dismissed it, as not cognisable be fore they inasmuch as Mr. Till was curdling the prerogatives of his Aced The complainant, Instead of appealing to a juridi cal Court, brought the matter before the Governor in person, who accordingly issued a general warrant for citing Mr. Till and Captain Hayward before him. Believing a warrant of this nature to be illegal, they declined obedience to its mandate.— Order was given to the constables to execute it, and the Mayor diet himself up is the Town Hall, and refused to surrender. The Hall was in consequence invested by forty or fifty soldiers; they did not, however, force admittance, and the Mayor re mained all night in a state of siege. Some insulting language passed between the populace and the military, durini the time the latter were engaged in this singular duty, but It led to no tumult or mischief. Between nine and ten o'clock the follow ing morning, the Mayor thought proper to surrender himself, and was conveyed to prison, having first, through the medium of a friend, obtained an authenticated copy of the warrant." These are the facts attendant on the impvisonMent of the Mayor. Both parties remained under confine ment at the date of the present advice', and strict orders were issued by the Governor to prevent all communication with them, without written authority from the Provost or Magistrates. Great indignatios is expressed on the subject by all classes of inhabit ants in the Colony, and prosecutions for perjury of those who have given, as it is alleged, false testimony respecting the transactions in question, and appeals to the Parliament of Great Britain, are currently talked of. The Journals of the Wand of Bermuda, which, whatever may he the case with the inhabitants, ap pear to be free from all controul, comment in the strongest language on these transactions. We quote two specimens from the Beimudiax of theist August: The Churchwardens of St. George have now been impel mind Mem days for doing their duty, by an edict of his Ex ailmay Lieutenant-General the Hon. Sir Wm. Lumley, K.C.B. Malt wive, Indisposed part of the time, and on. of their alio lambs limier post dames& sanction. Wien a sepseenta- MO of this ekannetanco Y imam to his Shade 114 m ay, no bap redeem vrill be the carstprias; sad limb this main is supported by every dirty Joe le Moe, the sense of thiamin. try is uniformly against it. But when we see men, spans boa the very dregs of racier!, endeavouring to palm their ignorant dogmas on their superiors, and aspiring to rank with those whose shoes they are only St to clean, it is high time to turn with an lempt,/na bid them recollect their pristine Ignorance, degrade tionolnd servility, and not, with' matchless intrepidity of face, Wine and.pha themselves by the side of their superiors." The following, which quotes a precedent to spew the consequences that may attend the conduct of the Governor, is from the same Paper : " Has his Excellency ever by chance heard of a Jr.. which took place not many years ago at Halifax? • If sa l We can inform him. Sir Andrew Mitchel, the then Naval Pea mander-bs•Chk.f, having reason to suspect that some desertion from his Majesty's ships had taken refuge in the stores of Mama Forsyth, Smith, and Co. fora few hours, caused the min so be blockaded by an armed force, for which outrage the Mid was prosecuted in England, sod had to pay ae16,000 damps and expenses. The Attorney-General of Nova Scotia is said to have addressed the Admiral in the following terms upon that oc casion t—' For GOD'S sake, Sir Andrew, withdraw your man im mediately, for it may be one of the worst day's work you have ever done.' Let it here be said, if ever there was an excuse for trampling upon the laws of his country, Sir Andrew Mitchell had that excuse, for desertion had, at the time to which we allude, made gigantic strides towards the destruction of oar navy. " The occurrences however of last evening admit not of the slightest palliation t they are pf the blackest, deepest die ; and let us hope for the honour of this Colony, if our Attorney- General had been consulted, he would have given his Excellasey a warning similar to that we have mentioned in the case of Sir A. Mitchell. Besides all this, his Excellency has !mot that Mr. Till is entitled to privilege of Parliament, which was de cided here in the case of the Speaker, who was released on that ground, during the administration of General Hodgson. We have no doubt that several actions for perjury will be brought against more than one individual, and we hope that the Court of King's Bench will visit this heinous offence with adequate punishment." Extract of a letter from Zante, dated August 5e We have received here the positive news of a signal victory gained at Samos, by our countrymen, over the powerful Ottoman fleet, which was almost entirely destroyed, and are in expectation of the offi cial confirmation. A decisive and favourable crisis for our people seems to be at hand also in the Morea. The siege of Patras has been renewed with fresh vi gour since the withdrawing of the English division, which series only to inspire our people with appre hension, and to afford encouragement to the Turks, who are daily supplied by these masters of ours with provisions. The sense of horror inspired by the mea sures of that Government, whose perpetual aim is to favour our implacable enemies, is inexpressible.— It is said that Prince Ypsilanti is daily expected in the Morea. The enthusiasm of the Greeks is not to be described. They are now convinced that they must either conquer, or be completely destroyed. Every day affords fresh proofs of this glorious reso lution. Many of the inhabitants of the Morea, who took refuge here in the commencement, make their escape secretly to join their brethren in the Peninsula. Two weeks ago, a number of young men of this island set off secretly for the Morea. They go to avenge the outrage done to the Greek name by the Government of the United States of thelonian Islands.

About sixty boats employed in the herring fishery were yesterday evening, by the suddenness of a gale, obliged to relinquish their nets in the hopes of gam ing the shore in safety, -but unfortunately more than forty were driven among the rocks. The cries of the drowning, thirty-five in number, most of whom have left large families, produced an effect too heart-read ing to be adequately expressed. The distress occa sioned to the families of the unhappy sufferers, who looked forward to the fishery for their entire support, but now, alas! bereft of the means of subsistence, is most afflicting. Let it be recorded, to the honour of humanity, that two Gentlemen (the Rev. Mr. Purr and Rev. Mr. Luxmoste), then staying at Clovelly, were particularly instrumental in saving the lives of many who but for their humane exertions must have inevitably perished, and at their departure generously left Y. 5 to be distributed among those families who are now become utterly destitute.—Western Luminary. Thursday evening last, the most violent gale per haps ever known was experienced at Appledore, rn this county. It is said that the bodies of thirty-two sailors, belonging to Clovelly and Appledore, have been taken up, and a vessel came in dismasted. A vessel was also lost off Lundy Island, and her crew —Exeter Alfred. LIVIMPOOL, Ocr.
