LONDON: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1815. Ws have received Halifax Papers to the 25th ult.— They contain extracts from the American Papers to the 13th Oct. The new Navigation Act of the Uni►ed States took effect on the lit, and on the 2d a British vessel, the Pill, from Jamaica, was seized in the Dela ware, for a breach of this law, having come to an anchor from a port where the American flag was excluded. The following are extracts : " PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 10.—It is in contemplation in Canada, to connect the waters of Lake Ontario with these of Lake Erie, by cutting a Canal from the head of the twelve mile Creek to the Chippewa Rivers. The Duke of Richmond, the new Governor of the Canadas, Las been on a tour through the Provinces, and strongly recommends the undertaking. " MONTREAL, SEPT. 20.—Arrived at the Mansion House Hotel, J. Buchanan, Esq. his Majesty's Consul at New York, who, we arc liven to understand, has been at York, Upper Canada, to meet his Axcellency Sir Peregine Maitland, on the subject of receiving such British subjects as have landed in the United States, and are desirous of obtaining land in Upper Canada.— We are happy to find, Mr. Buchanan has succeeded in the object of his journey. He has been assured by his Excellency, that every facility will be promptly afforded to all his 'Majesty's loyal and industrious subjects, who may wish to proceed to t'ic Upper Province, and that large tracts of the most favourable situated land will be immediately surveyed, fur the accommodation of the vast num bers who are directing their steps to those fruitful regions. TIM NATIONAL REGISTER. We are also informed, that the delays which have hitherto occurred in the locating of settlers will in fa tore be avoided, his Excellency being determined to give the most earnest attention to the emigrants, who are from the district, having their land as contiguous to each other as pos%ible. Arrangements will also be made for directing them on their route, so that many of the hardshiqs which these poor people tutfer on lant:ing will be avoided. " The trial between the North 'Mist Company and Lord Selkirk excites much interest in Camuln ; the hostility between the partisans of each is carried to the nTeatest extreme. " A letter from Detroit, Sept. 18, sage, Lord Sel kirk was :wrested by the Sheriff at the suit of the North West Company on Sunday last, in an action of tresspass. His Lordship intends to contest the legality of the arrest as being on the Lord's day." We have received the Paris rapers of Wednesday. The French Funds remained nearly stv t;onary fluctu ating only between 69e. and 691. I oe. They left off at the latter price, which was the closing price of Motulay. Extract of a private letter from Aix-la-Chapelle, dated Nov. 6—" Mr. Baring is expected here from Paris, to be present at the conc:usion of the new con vention, for the payment of the 165 millions, which France will pay by virtue of the Treaty of ,the 9th of October, 18:8. by arrangements enteral into with the firms of Hope and Cu. and Baring and brothers. By this Convention the periods of payment will be pro longed three months. M. Lalmcliere, one of the principals in the house of Hope and Co. will remain in Paris." Hamburgh and Flanders Mails have arrived They contain little besides accounts of the mutual visits paid by the Empress Dowager of Russia, and the Royal Fa mily of the Netherlands ; the arrivals at, and depar tares from Brussels, of distinguished persons; and the progress which Sir T. Lawrence is making in painting the portraits of the Sovereigns and their principal Mi nisters at Aix-la-Chapelle, for each of which, it is as serted, the artist receives 500 guineas from our Prince Regent. It is said, that all the Princes in Germany will be assembled in Aix-la-Chapelle by the 19th inst. If they do, they will be a tolerable addition to the temporary population of that city. It is reported, that the grand Duke Michael is aboutto marry a Princess of the House of Brandenburgh. M. 11alchus, the Ex- Finance Minister at Wirtemberg, was disniissed from wrong addition, in making the amount of the Crown Revenue four millions instead of three. This arith metical blunder, it seems, was discovered by a Lynx eyed Clerk; but it does not appear that he has been rewarded for his vigilance, The private letters from Paris, dated Monday, re port the closing price of the French funds on that day at 69. 10, and that the market was far from being con sidered in an improving state. A great sensation had been produced by the failure of one of the principal speculators, who was much relied on, and considered of high respectability, but had proved unable to fulfil his engagements. The assistance afforded the holders of the relates, it appears, had not proved so effectual as was expected ; compulsory sales were still very numer ous and produced a corresponding effect on the market. Private letters from Paris mention, that the price of the funds on Tuesday fluctuated from 6g. 15. to 69. 50.: but that a confident expectation exists in the French money-market that the price will gradually rise. It is still allowed on all sides that the cause of the depression is not political. Among the various cir cumstances that have affected the rate of the French stock may be mentioned the failure of a great House in Holland ; the principal of which had been speculating very largely, and had, among other pecuniary transac tions, purchased no more than four million of rentes ; these renter he had distributed as collateral securities with his bills among ten different banking-houses in Paris, to which, on the bankruptcy of the drawer, the various holders of the bills looked for payment. At this moment the French Bank having refused to discount, the bankers were forced to sell the whole of the four million of renter, to meet the demands of the different creditors. It is easy to see that so extensive an operation must have considerably affected the market; though, at the same time, there is no feature in the transaction ca l cu l a t e d to roduce any permanent alarm for the credit of the French funds. Letters from Cadiz, dated the 29th ultimo, state, that the convoy for the Havannah and Vera Cruz, con. rusting of 13 sail, left that port under the escort of the Sabine frigate on the 19th ult. The crew of the mer. chant frigate the Castilia, which was captured by an Insurgent privateer, off Cape St. Mary, has been sent on shore 20 leagues from Cadiz.—She left Lima with 660,000 piastres, and a cargo valued at much more, chiefly is cocoa. SOUTH AMERICA. Our countrymen have frequently been warned against the gross delusions practised by certain persons in Lon. dun, who were urging them to embark in the South American contest. Independently of the political reasons, which, in our jukgment, rendered such enter. prizes highly improper, unanswerable proofs of the misery, the hardships, anti the disappointments which awaited them acro's the Atlantic leave here placed be. fore their eyes. Those, who in defiance of such admo nitions, have still preferred to dare the worst, have paid dearly fin their temerity. A great proportion, observes Mr. Hackett, who has just published a narrative of the expedition which sailed in 1817, and of which he was unfortunately one, have either actually perished, or unable to procure the means of returning to their native land, arc probably at this troment wandering friendless anti destitute among the West India Islands, dependent Nunn the beauty of the humane and charita. ble. It is the universal declaration of all who have been so fortunate as to return, or wlime letters have reached Englan I, that not one of the pronn,cs Lehi out to them here, were re.lize Chir arrivi:l in South America. " The strongte :hist • s.trs Mr, Hackett, " was 10:n1;f:stet' by th..,lnsurg ., lii. .iiimission of foreign assi,tanee; j• et ti native troops, of those few I' i , ":' . - it ti been tempted actually to join •• .• • • • icorous, as to subject aim to t.• •.• • ;Tista• /ion."

We cannot say that our sympa thies are very powerfully excited at the suffering.; which our countrymen endured, because they knew what tfiey did : but we are prepared to express, in a most un qualified manner, our indignation at the deliberate treachery and artifices practised by the self-styled South American agents in London. We would Ihin hope, however, that the delusion is too palpable and gross to be carried on with much s uccess: but if there be any who still have ideas of going to South America, We advise them to peruse the following extracts from Mr. Hackett's took:— _ _ " The Insurgent forces were reduced to a state of the greatest poverty, totally devoid of discipline, and not one fourth provided with proper military arms, the remainder being compelled to resort to bludgeons, knives, and such other weapons as they found most eradily procurable. In clothing they were still more destitute and deficient, in most instances merely con sibling of fragments of coarse cloth wrapped round their bodies, and pieces of the raw buffalo hide laced over Their feet as a substitute for shoes, which *hen hardened by the sun's heat, they again render pliant by immersion in the first stream at which they chance to arrive. A blanket, with a hule cut in the mipdle, let over the head, and tightened round the body by a buffalo thong, has been frequently the dress of the offiers : and one of them who witnessed the fact assured me that such was actually the uniform of a British Colonel (R--.), who was at the time in the Insurgent service." It isrumoured, that his Royal Highness the Prince Regent intends paying Manchester and Glasgow a visit in the spring of next year, in order to be personally informed of the wonderful progress making in the cot• ton manufactories of this country. It is said, that altogether his Royal Highness the Prince Regent has expended the immense sum of 150,0001. on his palace and grounds at Brighton 1— The architecture is in the Oriental style of the Kremlin at Moscow. We wish, that the nest munificent ex. penditure on the part of his Royal Highness may be a handsome pier, which is so much wanted at Brighton, and especially during stormy weather. Those who land from the packets from France, arc frequently seriously inconvenienced, and sometimes greatly alarmed by be ing obliged to land on the beach among the drenching of the surf. The Duke of Sussex has already received much be nefit from the Tunbridge Wells waters. His Royal Highness is now frequently seen out taking the air, either on foot or horseback. Hardenberg, of Mount-street, is executing a life-sise statue, in marble, of the late lamented Princess Char lotte, by command of Prince Leopold, previous to his leaving England. Prince Blucher still .continues ill at Berlin. His health•is much reduced, and, what is so much the more alarming is, that he has passed the age of 80. The inhabitants of St. Helena have determined to abolish slavery in their island, from and after Christmas Day. We understand an order has been issued by the Court of Exchequer for the examination of all brewers' casks, and those found deficient in measure, or without the Hall stamp, will be seized forthwith.
