LUN 1,0 : MONDAY, AUGUST li, 1817. Paris papers to Friday last were received yesterday they state that the Pope was to hold a Sacred College on the 28th ult for the purpose of concluding, the arrangements relative to the French Chnrch. By these arrangements, it is expected several of the ancient Sees, Archbishoprics, and Bishoprics, will be re-established. An article from Impruck, July 24, says that the matters in dispute between the Courts of Vienna and - Naples are• definitively adjusted, and that the - periods for the withdrawing of the Austrian troops is fixed. Vie Paris Papers received on Saturday, inform us that by a decision of the Ministers at war, a certain number of half-pay Officere will be attached to the different corps d'armec, and half the commiss►ons that become vacant will be given to them. We cannot but applaud this measure, as ono well calculated to propi. tiate a -eery formidable body of men, whoseleelinvs, irritated by disappointment, would have continually • endungerea the trauquility of the State. TIM rsTioNAL ft EGISTE R The same papers contain a long article from Aladrid detailing the proceedings of the It)yal army in South America to the l 9th of April last, at ui I ieli time, according to General Medlin, the insurgNit ferves had been com pletely disconifiactl. The capture of Betrcelona is again mentioned, but the horrid statement is added that after , the surrender 1,000 prisoners were put 'to the sword ! Who can wish success to a cause thus supported ! An account has been in circulation during the week, of six persons hat ing coniTirctl to .carry oil the person of the Crown Prince of Sweden, but it does not appear, to rest on any substantial authority. Our readers will find in.:mother part of our paper an account of the first day's proccolings on the trial of Mr. Roger O'Connor, and a brief notice Of his acquital on the second day, after a trial Of cloven hours. The Dubin' Papers received in town - yesterday had been unable An give metre than the mere verdict from the lateness of the hour at which the trial closed. We have receind New Yoik ‘popers to the •15th ult _ _ NFW YORK, JUIN 14 —" Sir Gregor M'Gregor, with the Jim:es under his Llinnulmd, took possemion of . Amelia Island, 14th June, without bloodshed. " From Fort William we learn that the Ilon.'Wm. NliGillerav, with the Ist brigrele of North West Traders, had arrived safely at Fort William , is which was found Mr. Spencer, formerly sheriff of the Red River Colony, and three or four other individuals. We are told they wcr immediately taken into• custody Pnd ordered to Sandwich, where the Western I)istriet Court is holden. It is said that Mr. Smith, Under Sheriff of the said district, attended with others, cloathed with magisterial authority. had gone in quest of Lord Sel kirk. The Commissioners had arrived at the South St. 'Marie, and would soon proceed over. Lake Superior, fur the celeb►ated Fort William." The ship President, Capt. Swain, which arrived at Nantuckey, the coast of Chili, on the Ist ult. states, that the Insurgents, after cutting to pieces a body of 1.500 Royalists, took possession of Valparaiso, March 15th, and were marching down the coast. Several Nantuckey ships had been boarded by a Spanish gun boat, from Conception, which stated that she had been sent out for the express purpose of inviting all the American ship to • enter that port, as an immediate at tack was expected from the Insurgents, one of their ar mies being at St. Jago, and the other daily expected at Conception. Her Commander said that if our ships did not come into their assistance, we•should be considered as enemies to the, Royalists. Pattie attention has been directed a gco I deal this week •to the statements made by the philanthropic Mr. Owen, on kis mode of improving the condition of the poor. In our next number we shall advert to this subject, so deeply interesting to every • friend to humanity. Dispatches have been received, overland, from the Governor of Bombay, dated March communicating the important intelligence of the captnre of the fortress of Hattrass by . the British army, situate in the heart of the Doab, on the road from Agra to Coel, about - 00 miles south east of the• latter place, and supposed to have been garrisoned by 10,000 men. The circum stances which led to this event were as follow :—The Zemindar, or proprietor, of the fort had often obstruc ted the course of justice by giving refuge to robbers andassas►dns who had fledfront the Company's districts; and .he had for some time made Hattrass the resort of all men .of bold and abandoned character, with a view of strengthening his means of defence, or of becoming formidable to his neighbourhood. He had also mane• festal a spirit of encroachment towards the British ; and by taking possession of this strong fortress, his hostile designs • became obvious. Remonstrances and expla nations proving unsatisfactory, recourse was had to snore effectual measures, by prompt and vigorous mili tary operations. Our army, composed of British and native troops, took the field, under the command of Colonel• Marshal, an officer of high military reputation. Arrived before the place, he summoned it to surrender; but the enemy, confiding in his strength and means of defence, refused to capitulate. It was then determined to carry it by storm : a heavy bombardment was com menced ; and the Congreve rockets were used with ter, rible effect ; one of them, falling on the magazine, oc casioned a dreadful explosion, which destroyed great numbers of the garrison. Our loss by the lire of the enemy was incenisideralsle : Lieutenant Courtland was the only officer wounded. The Bombay Government had not received the official accounts; but•the above de tails were communicated to that Governmeiteby a vate letter, and may theeefore, having been made the subject of an overland dispatch, be considered authentic. In consequence of the death of the Earl of Roscom mon, Thomas Dillon, Esq. Aughatligonain, in the coun ty of Longford, • the now representative of the Dillon tinily, elainisthe title.and honours of that Nobleman. AUGUST il. BRITISH ,INITIRISH EMIGRANTS. (FROM THY: MoNIItE‘L ADVEIVTIsER.] We are truly gratified to learn, that Mews. John !Tolson and Sons, proprietors of the first sttam-gents used in the St. Lawrence, have upon the application of his Majesty's Consul tin. New York, liberally agreed to afford accommodation to such settlers as may in fu ture arrive at Quebec, transport oil the most easy terms to Montreal, with a view to proceed to Upper Canada. We understand that each settler will be allowed to take nearly :200Ibs. baggage, instead of only 60Ibs. allowed to travellers ; and that the whole expense for each grown settler will be SOs. from Quebec to Kingston, ; and is..3d. more to York'; children half price. We 1 further learn that #lessrs. Berthelet and Norton have made equally generous offers on behalf of settlers, whu may beataseinutodated by •them with excellent provisi. ons in small quantities, at the wholesale prices, upon making application, and testifying that they will set tle in Lower or Upper Canada. While we rejoice in •these beneficial regulations, we are not without hope that their Meet will be of permanent utility to the set- Alers,-and consequently to these fine,provinces. Whilst we arc thus indulging in ardent expectations, we can. not but reprobate a fatal delusion that is too often sue cessfully practised by skip owners and masters in the British and Irish ports, to fleece the unsuspecting emi grant of his money, In Irish and Scotch papers we see vessels advertised for the islands in the Gulph of St. Lawrence, Nova Scotia, and I'Ldlitiix ; these advertisements state to pen ple wishing to emigrate to Caneda, that the ports, such vessels are bound for, are on the high road to the place they wish to.arrive at ; whiie every informed mail, knows, that to come from Hallifax, St—lohn's, Piston, Prince Edward Island, &e. to Quebec, will cost as much, as to come from Britain or Ireland direct. lt.is wani-stly to be hoped that these filets may be generally known by all -ranks in - the mother country, that the people may not be led astray by the chicane of AraLTican agents, and the cupidity of the British-masters and owners. EMIGRATION TO GARAI/A.—Tile followinr i• a st , ttem(ont of the number of liiitsh subjects, who, het reti Ilse loth of March, 1816, and the lOtit of March, 1817, base landed at New York, and obtained passports, to entitle them to grants of land in Canada, from his Majesty's Consul, at New Vail ; Farmers 87 Labourers 37 Manufacturers 37 Mechanics lB6-347 .Women IRS Children 458 Total-901. Rumour has been very active in the City during the past week, and has gained her usual ascendant in the Stock Exchange.—That England designs to preserve a rigid neutrality, in the dispute between Spain and the insurgents in South America—that Spain has applied to Russia for assistance, and that the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh has stipulated, in case of acceding to this request, for the cession of the two Caliafornius and Mi norca, as a small remuneration for her assistance.—qhat Russia. will thereby procure a strong footing in the Me diteranean, which will aflord . her great security and convenience in her views against the Ottoman Porte, whose destruction will open a way by the Dardanelles into Persia, and that the will thug be enabled to inter upt,' in case of enmity arising, our trade in the Mediterranean. To these reports, as rapidly formed us they declined, the politicians of Capel Court also su peradded doubtful hints, as to the continuance of peace : something - lad been seen, they thought, in the ministe rial journals, tending to lead the public mind to specu late on the ambition and extent of Russian aggrand isement, adding that Spain had, on the the ground of an. ally, demanded of England, .men, ships, and money, • to prevent hor. losing.her American settlements, whiCti request had neither - been relished or answered by St. James's. • We have not traced these deep laid schemes far ther than the Stock Exchange, and we rejoice they have created scarcely a moment's solicitude ; we lock forwaid to the firmness of British Councils, to preserve the peace so deafly bought, notwithstanding the many conflicting interests which combine so frequently to en danger it ; and with this confidence, we can be well con tent to let the politicians of the Stock Exchange gull each other with the most improbable lies, at the expense of each others pockets and of common sense. Bernadotte has been rustling another facture to his beloved son, Oscar, on the art of governing, in the shape of a•Epeeeh, on Lis introduction to the Council of State ..There is so mush• of the flippancy of a true Frenchman •in this man's speeches, that we begin to be somewhat tired of them. . There is one passage in it, however, whit. is• sensible enough, though it looks like an ungrateful fling on Lis late master—" Consider (says lie) that. the Crown which a free people gives, is always insecure on . a head which is puffed up with pride and selt: conceit, and that we. must prepare our selves for it by an innate conviction of the duties of Kings and the Rights of Nations " The Elector of Hesse Cassel has re-established the Funds fin the Widows and Orphans which had been suppressud iu IS I I by the Prince Primate.
