Consols were paid up. The amount of each was by no means considerable, the greater pro_ portion having been paid in advance. The next in stalments will be 11th Dec., lith January, and 19th February_ We have received New York Papers to the Ist inst. If the intelligence from America be correct, the Go vernment of the United States has at length performed its promise of surrendering the Floridas to the autho rised agents of Spain. The following is an extract : " NIOI,ILE, OCT. Q.—Mr. Collins, from Pensacola, arrived in town last evening from that place, and states that Colonel King had received orders from Wash ilgton to deliver it up to the Spanish authority. Mince the arrival of Mr. Collins, a letter has been received from a gentleman at Pensacola, to a gentleman in this town, stating that the order of Col. King was to deliver up that place and its dependencies to any Spa nish officer authorised to receive the same by the Spa nish Minister Don Onis—thc Captain General of the ilavannah, or by the late Governor Masott." Accounts have been received from St. Domingo. of the fith October. Those from Cape Henry give no coontenance to the report of a severe engagement li t..veen the forces of Christophe and Boyer. The former ha:l rendered himself very unpopular of late, by compelling a great number of Mulattoes on the coast to marry troops under his command. Clicistoplic :weer appeared in public without a large party of his guards, anal r:Tres;:atcl as being much afraid of THE NATIONAL REGISTER A Supplement to die Gazette of last 'Tuesday was published yesterday containing dispatches from Bom bay. The only despatch of which we have not had the full details, is a letter from Lieutenant Colonel Cun ningham, doted Camp, near Pritchetghur, June 10, 1 8 18. The particulars of the capture of this tort are highly creditable to the valor of the troop employed, and to the skilful arrangements of the Commauding Officer, Colonel Cunningham. The despatches from the Glvernor in Council at Bo.nbay, dated June '2.2, and I.*)th July, further zumounce, the unconditional surrender of the fort and district of Vcseadroog to the British Government, which completes the conquest of the sAtthern Coreaa ; and that by letters received from Ser.mor, it appears that the garrison of Mallignum had surrendered to Lieut. Col. I\i'Dowall. The following is a private letter from Paris, dated Nov. !.).1 :—" I loose no time in communicating to you this important intelligence, that the Ministry have de termined on suppressing the preliminary censure to which the French journals were subjected and of pro posing a special law for their regulation. The matter is to be immediately discussed in the Council of State ; and T am inflamed that the clauses of the law compre hend every species of offence, and even discriminate with precision between the various shades of calumny and scandal. The newspapers will not from the Ist of January, appear by priuitege as heretofore ; but a der). zit of 72,000 livres will be required, bearing interest of 4 per cent., and serving as a caution. From this mass the fines to which the Editors may occasionally be condemned will be collected, and they will be obliged to complete the original sum within a given period.— The cognizance of all matters relating to newspapers will be exclusively left to a jury, as in England. The Paris journals insert a paragraph from Valen ciennes, descriptive of the joy which was manifested by the inhabitants of that frontier fortress, on the day of its evacuation by the British troops. It was on the 19th that the 52d regiment (light infantry) gave up the town to the National Guard, and commenced its march to the port of embarkation. The people shouted Vive le Roi, and every house was decorated with the Bourbon colours. At the same time we are assured, that no excess was committed, nor insult offered to the British garrison, ut the moment of surrendering their trust. An interesting question has just been tried before the Court of Cassation at Paris, the decision of which, by the Judges, can hardly fail to be received throughout 111 e French monarchy with sentiments of the warmest approbation. A minor Court, that of Correctional Po• lice, at Gap, had fined a l'rotsstaut, of the name of Roman, for refusing to hang out ta ► ►estrics upon the front of his house, while the (to him idolatrous) spec tacle of the Host was pa►sing, although enjoined there to by the Mayor of the little town of Lourmarin. M. Roman appealed from this enlightened sentence ; and the Court of Cassation at once reversed the judgment of the Court below. Considering the impulse which since the year 1789 has been given to the public mind of France, on all subjects connected with religious to leration, we conceive the security and satiFf4etion af forded to the people by this formal decision after a pub lic appeal, of the utmost importance to the peace of the country, and the consequent stability of the Royal House of Bourbon. Accounts from Brussels, by the Flanders mail, inforM us, that the Duke of Wellington was expected there on Monday last from Aix-la-Chapelle. The Empress Dowager of Russia, with the Emperor Alexander, took leave of the Netherlands on the 21st, the Prince and Princess of Orange attending them as far as Liege.— Much astonishment is exhibited, and well it may, at the mention- of a plot, for seizing the person of the Em peror of Russia, by a set ofcrack-brained Frenchmen, as his Majesty was journeying from Aix-la-Chapelle to Brus sels. The illustrious prisoner was, as the story goes, to hay , : been forced, on pain of death, to declare the Son of nnonaparte " King of France," and the Duchess of Parma, " Regent ! ' The conspirators had procla mations ready, addressed to as many gulls as could be found among their countrymen, for the purpose of excit ing an insurrection against the Bourbon Government. We learn from Brussels, that nothing could exceed the magnificence of the Imperial Russian Visitors. The Empress Dowager has deposited in the Bank at Brus sels 40,0001. sterling, to pay for the expenses of her visit, and has declared, that she will not take any part of it back with her. Every thing Russian is, of course, quite in fashion. His Grace the Duke of Wellington, in dining with the Emperor Alexander, on Sunday, for the first time, in his quality of Field Marshal of Russia, was dressed in the Emperor's own coat. As the party was composed of Russian General Officers, invited to meet him and congratulate bins on his new dignity, it was indispen sibie that he should appear in a Russian unifbrm ; and as the time was too short to admit of providing one, the Emperor most condescendingly offered his own. NOV. SO The German mail brings intelli ge n ce from Vienna, that the Hereditary Prince and Princess of Hesse Hombourg are on the point of repairing to Hungary, where his Highness the Prince 6 to command in chief, under the /Irchdu Lc Ferdinand. Apartments are pr e . paring in the Castle of Ofen, to receive the Hereditary Prince anti his Royal consort. Baron Frimont, who has been spoken of with such respect in the French iournals. fir his exemplary conduct while at the head of the Austrian contingent, on the French territory, k appointed to the chief command in the kingdom of Venice ; and Count Nubna to the Mlle bi'h rOSt in Lonibudy. A report is mentioned in these papers, to the effect that the Emperor of Russia d to cede the Polish kingdom to his brother Constantine, and to indemnify hiutrelf in the South of Europe; but that France resists the proposition. We cannot colkc . t the slightest information from the Flemish papers, as to the actual causes Of the late ar rests. Many of the pristmers are said t 3 have bw miamined, but the result of the interrogatories has bees kept a protintad secret: A letter from I lainhurgh, dated Nov. 20, states, that the existing laws of customs and excise, which were only enacted provisionally in the year 1814, are orderul to c9ntinue in free another year. Large sums in speci; , , e;;ielly consisting; of five f ranc p i eces, h a d been remitted from England but the scarcity of m one y continued to be sensibly ft.'•lt, as the exportation of gold and silver, both coined sad iu bars, to Russia, still remained a good commercial speculation. A merchant of Hatnburgh had recently dispatched to Petersbur:.7lt gold to the value of 1,500,000 francs ; it was conveyed in two post chaises, under the escort of two of his clerks. A Colonel in the Danish service, nanied Ha& tier, has been presented, by the Senate, with a valua ble service of plate, on the occasion of his return from Frankfurt, where he assisted at the meeting: of the military Diet. M. Haffner comm an d e d at b Altona, in the year 1813, at the time Marshal Davoust was in possession of Hamburg'', when he repeatedly employed his good offices in &vonr of the city, and is summed, by his influence, to have inclined the Marshal to more favourable terms, during the ne , rociations carried on at Ilamblirgh. Accounts from Copenhagen state, that one of the principal war commissaries there, who had been convicted of embezzlement, has been condemned by the high tribunal to five years' imprisonment in the House of Correction. The American papers assert, that orders have been issued by the Government of the United States, for the indemnification of those British merchants who had suffered from an erroneous exaction of duties in the ports of the !United States during the summer of I 8 15, by immediately repaying them the amount of the duties thus wrongfully demanded. The same papers present us with the decision of Judge Nen Ness, in the South ern district Court of New York; whereby it is settled that the United States will not take cognizance of acts of hostility committed upon the Spanish flag, in vessels fitted out from the ports of the Union, by naturalized citizens of the United Provinces of South America.— This is justly characterized as u highly important de cision. Lord Nfulgrave, it is said, retires from the Master- Generalship of the Ordnance. The uncertain state of his Lordship's health is assigned as the cause. We are not without Lopes, that the salary of this office may, at least in time of peace, be saved to the public, by the amalgamation of the duties with those some other bureau. Tuesday W. D. Best, Esq. was appointed one of the Judges of the Court of King's Bench ; and R. Rich ardson, Esq one of the Judges of the Court of Com mon Pleas. Mr. Serjeant Copley is expected to be the new Chief Justice of Chester, vice Mr. Serj , mint Best. Guilford, Wedneeay Evening, Nov. f 25, Mr. Serjeant Best has officially announced, this day, that he has accepted the high office of Judge, and wiil set out from this place on Friday next. This circum stance has caused a great bustle in the town of Guild ford. Mr. Frankland, of hashing, has been very active in canvassing, but his political creed will not go down with the Gentlemen of the Corporation ; therefbre, C. B. Wall has been fixed upon to succeed the Hon! Sergeant. Mr. Wall, with his uncle, Sir Thomas Baring, accompanied by the principal inhabitants of Guildford, immediately commenced a canvass, in which they met with the most decided success. NIL.. Wall has the best claim upon the inhabitants of Guildtbrd of any in the neighbourhood. We believe his politics to be free and unbiassed, and we believe him to be a sincere friend to religious toleration. LORD ELLENnonouon.—His Lordship, we are ex. tremely sorry to announce, is considered to be in a worse state than he has been for sonic time before. The Bishop of Chestcr is arrived in town to attend his suf fering brother. WESTMINSTER ELECTION.—Copy of a letter from Sir Francis Burdett to Mr. Brooks:— "Kirby Pvrk, Nov. ?A, t " DEAR St R,—l beg I .eave to transmit a dr a f t for !med. for the expenses of Mr. Ilubliou is ei ai ion . and to state to the Committee my readiness to attend teem. in any way they may think wan!, Mr seeming the indepenthmte of NVe.twitister.
