LONDON : MONDAY, MAY It ) , 1817* TIIE foreign news of the week, had it possessed more than usual interest, would be merged in the im portant decision which has taken place respecting what are called the Callous Claims. Even the late arrest of Madame Saint Jean d'Angely, and the connection which it is reported to have had with the projects for the liberation of Buonapartc by the French Refitgees of the United States, sinks into mere insignificance when compared with what is passing here. Paris rapers to the 9th reached town last night, and those of Friday were received this morning. The King appears to be so far recovered, as not only to un dergo all the duties of his exalted rank, but also to re cline and enjoy his rides. Accounts from Madrid state, that Generals Lacy and Milano are to be tried by a Council of War, at Barcelona. The French Funds have advanced to 75 f. and 13 c. Letters from Mayence, of the Ist of May, represent the number of persons who have passed that city, in order to emi grate to other lands, during the month of April, to amount to no less than ;3,31't individuals. It is confirmed, that the Pope is dangerously ill. From the French journals, which have been re&civcd to the 9th inst. it is diflittilt to extract any matter worthy of observation. It appears, by quotations from German papers, that a degree of importance, somewhat ridiculous, has been attached to the knot of miserable creatures recently desi4.oated us the Peschtlian " Sect." T;t.ir founder is now declared a lunatic. His tidlowers, exaggerated by fraud or fill•; into tens of thousands, have iwv;.r, in tact, amounted to more than a few hun dred wretch;:s of the lowest order ; who were dispersed and put down without the shadow of resistance, by half a company of armed men. The differences between the King of Wurtemberg and a part of the legislative body of his kingdom have been latterly attended by some indecent and tumultuous pro ceedings in the Hall of the States, so as to have extorted from his Majesty two official messages of a more pe remptory nature than any communications wlu.li he had hitherto addressed to them. The substantial ground of quarrel between the King and the States, is r 'the desire of his Majesty to consider the old and new members of the monarchy, as parts of the same body, and as subject to the same laws ; while the Deputies for old Wm.- temberg express the strongest reluctance to incorporate themselves with the provinces newly added to the king dom. The distress in the French provinces is tremendous. Bread is every where seven sole and in many nine (l..I) and in some ten and eleven sols a pound. The peasants live on lie:lA and roots ; and France will be fortunate if serious epidemic distempers are not the consequence of the present misery. A letter from a Serjeant of the 91st regiment to his Father in Glasgow, dated Valenciennes 13th April, 1817, after expressing a desire to remit his Father some money, says, " I tun sorry to intinm von, that the is or in France are not better off than in Britain ; thAti:ands are starving fur want of tiaxl, a l r fof bre.al th4t we could have bought for one pinny oa our arrival in this country, we now pay at the rate of one shilling fir, and it is not of so good a quality ; other provisions is pro portion, so that, if God does not provide for them, many thousands will starve." It is asserted, that Spain will not attempt to molest the Portuguese whilst the Mediation is going on Not less than 4.20.000 stand of arms have been shipped off for Portugal. The last letters from Lisbon state, that the King of Portugal had late!:. drawn on the Ite. r , ency, from flat Brazils, for the sum cif 60,000/. ivhich . they r,..fused to pay. As a proof of the turn of public feeling in Portugal, we are assured that, when the King was twoolalmA at Lisbon, the Staff Ofneers alone cried Long Live the King." 'Lie populace and the army were alike unmoved ; but s:atte indivi duals were observed to say, " If the King will have our voices, let him come amongst us and hear them." A general alarm still prevails throughout Portugal that. the old kingdom is to be left defenceless at the 'mercy of a neighbouring Government. YR. Puottaparte is, according to the Cour;er, los acces itible than ever, and grown fat and ill-temporol, owing, it may }r• presumed, to the confinement to which he is auhierted, and an impatience of that restraint which mist e...idently he grating to his feelings. Sweden is stated to b upon the eve of a revolution ; an ! I:craw - idle is busied in supping the power of the The Vow York papers state the arrival there of a vessel from Nlararetta, with intelligence that Ge neral Bolivar had, on the !Mil of February last, with less than 1000 men, cmnpletely defeated the army of the Royalists, consisting of 3000, of whom 1000 were woun:e(l, anal taken prisoners. Bolivar, in u latter to Admiral Brown, is said to have assured him, that he should, by the 20th of April, be iu pass.,ssion of Cumana. Private letters from America, mention - that a very serious misunderstatilint; exists bi±tween the Briti.,lt Cotninisstoners and the persons employed by the Ame rican (;overran nt to run the boundary line between the United States and British America ; that the de mails of the latter respecting territory arc perfectly inadmissible. Letters received from the Unitel Sta'es to the Ist tilt. informs lei, that trade ha considerably revived, and English cotton goods, wwllens, irons, earthenware, were all selling at a considerable advance. The Hamburgh Papers have brought the substance of an Ukase issued at Petersburgh, on Easter Sunday ; by which the Emperor Alexander grants peculiar pri vileges to Jews who become converts to Christianity. They are to form a society under the title of " The Society of Jewish Christians;' are to be established as colonists, upon lands of the Crown ; to form separate communities, and to enjoy a temporary exemption from taxes. M. Poniatowski, who lately returned from St. Hele na, is still in London, where he awaits the receipt of funds from abroad to continue his ratite to Italy. lie yesterday waited on Mr. Cooper, of the Alien-office, to inform him that the person who is now travelling on the continent under 1 - is name, has no other intention than to act as a spy on the friends of Napole M. Ponsatowski received from Bu. , naparte, befinv his dc. par ure, a certificate of his rank as Chef d'Ese a dr on , and which contradicts all the statements made in regard to him in the public journals. It is a melancholy tact, that Holland, Germany, and other parts of the Continent, are at this time so glutted with British manufactures, that they may be purtlrased in any quantity, at less than the prime cost in this kingdom. The Baltic trale hag of late assumed an ektraorditutry legrce of activity. About 1000 vessels have passed the Sound sinus the commencement of the season. • BuoNAPART .—A Letter from St.. Wenn, dated Feb. Q. 6, 1817, received one day last week, by a trades man of' Lewes, from his sister, who has been some time on the Island, speaking of the 1 x-Empemr of France, briefly describes him, nearly in tha folloNing words, and we have no doubt, with accuracy I have seen that wonder of the world, Bonaparte—lle is a cor pulent man, of the middle stature. i. e. ncie.er tall hor short, of a sallow complexion, with flabby checks;—lle appears thoug'o and sullcn •—'ie no one, nor dos he ever overstep the boundary line which, the order of Government, has been azarkedout fo. hizza" CHINA. The news expected from China is nrrivei ; and of that nature, toe, which was generally anticipated. The Embassy has wholly toiled, and the- presents which were to have been the pledge of amity and in tercourse have been returned ; so that we have not lost all. This decisive intelligence was brought to England by the ship Prince Regent. We learn, that on the 12th of March, while prepar ing to weight anchor from St. Helena for England, three large ships came in sight, and these proved to be the vessels so anxiously expected from China—namely, the General Hewitt, the Castle Huntley, and the Cumberland. As soon as they came to anchor, an ()dicer enters the Prince Regent went on board the Ge neral Hewitt, in order to obtain the latest intelligence from China, respectin! , British atlitirs . Ile was these informed, that the embassy from China had arrived at Canton from Pekin, on the Ist January, Unlimbered with all the presents front England which the Emperor of China had finally refused to accept.—Part of three valuable curiosities had been sold at Canton; and the remainder, which it was deemed advisable to retain, were put on board the General Hewitt, together with dispatches for England. The three China ships left Canton on the sth of January, with their accustomed cargoes on board ; so that, though the cause of the failure is hitherto unexplained, it still may be hoped that its effects will be limited, and that our mortifica tion will not be increased by the loss of our trade to China. On the arrival of the Prince I:egent in Eng land, Captain Harris wrote to the India-house, giving all the particulars which he had learned on board the General I Lewitt ; and which were taken into consider. tiun a n Thursday last. The arrival of the China ships may be hourly expected. THE NATIONAL nrct From the LONDON GAZETTE, &tardy, May 10. BANKRUPTCIES SUPERSBDIBD. Tlen.mrs I'. of Long-acre, coochtnaker.
