LONDON: SUNDAY, AUGUST 23, 1813. Ws yesterday received Paris Papers of Wednesday last. The following are the only articles worth extract- PARIS, Ann. 18.—A rumourt ~ is circulated, that the negociations which are carrying on in Paris between Spain and Portugal, are on the eve of concluding, and that the Spaniards will be put in possession of Monte Video as soon as possible. llis Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester left Bordeaux on the 12th inst. for Agen, from whence he will proceed to the baths of Bareges and those of Bag. nen, ; from thence his Royal Highness will proceed to Lyons, and make an excursion to Geneva. It is reported that this Prince will return to France towards the end of October, on a visit to our capital The King has recently itsued an ordinance which enjoins a new kind of playing cards, the figures on which arc taken from our history. Those cards arc the invention of the S:eur lloubizan, and may be menu. Tnr, TIF,GIVTVA. fart:wed Ly nil of the tr:;:le in France. Their use will adopted font the 1501 .S.,:ptoulter nest. Jury, 1.--it is almost generally asserted here, that we shall not Lave war with the United States, notw ithstantiingtlwi: invasion ()four territory in the Flo ridas, nor even En account of .he taking of Pensacola ana the Fort of Daraneas. It is said, that Gen. lielcson !las not only ,rltaranteetl the ancient private property of the inhabitants, but also the concession of land lately taale iv the Sitanish ox:en:twat. This measure is very fortunate for the now proprietors: amongst these latter are several Noblemen, whom the King horwurs with his special esteem. By accounts from America %re learn that the Insur gents have acted by retaliation in ragnard to its. They have shot five Officers of the battalion of Numance, and all the prisoners whijt foil into their power aft'-r the taking of Ortiz. This unhappy ititelligenceforms -the postcript of the report of the Geaeral is Chic An article in the Nlairi.laficial Gazette states, that the obligations relative to the subject of claims between the Governments of France ani Spain being declared reciprocal by an additional article in the Treaty of the 20:11July, 1818, it has been agreed " that one moiety of the total sum due by France shell remain in depesit, in the hands of an equal number of Commissioners of each nation, until the Spanish Government shall have provided funds to liquidate the French claims. The Spanish claimants will receive interest fur the aunt deposited. We solicit the attention of our readers to the in telligence from Ceylon, which will be found in another part of our paper. The proclamation of Governor Brownrigg will speak far itself, as to the state of the miserable country wilkh be administers. The rebel lien seems to be more alined and consolidated, the inhabitants more fierce, and the combats more frequent, than they wore rep.resented to be by any former advice!. Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's, at Barbadoes, dated July 5, 1818 :—" By the arrival of a schooner from St. Thomas's, information has been received of the Spanianla having taken possession of the brig Eclipse, NiT'ormington, of this place, which vessel sailed from this for St. Domingo a few weeks ago. Capt. Wormington had been taken to the city of St. Domingo, thrown into a dungeon, and loaded with heavy inns, the brig dismantled, and the whole of the crew put in confinement. The plea fig this outrageous insult on the British flag is, that they found two guns mounted on deck, and six or eight dismounted in the hold, as ballast. and therefore concluded she was an Insurgent privateer, a Spaniard having come forward and swore that Capt. Wormington had taken his vessel n few weeks before, and kept - Lim a prisoner 14 days. The Scamancler frigate has been dispatched by Admiral Harvey to demand an exFlanation from the Spanish Governor." _ Letters and papers have reached us from India, to a date much more recent than that of any former in telligence from the same quarter. The most interesting portion of the news thus communicated respects the operations .against the Peishwa's remaining force, un der the Generals Smith and Pritsler, who alone con tinue in the field, and add daily proofs to those alrealy Ittliwiled, both of their professional zeal and of the difficulties of that service.which they have not *yet succeeded in terminating. In all parts of India but but towards the south-east, the war was at an end, and the armies had reired. The general orders of the Marquis of Hastings are dated February 21, when his Lordship took leave of the several divisions, and warmly thanked the officers who had commanded them. The Pindarrees were utterly amailated as a power, and many of their Chiefs had aveepted lands from the Bri. tish Government, tie their only means cif subsistence.— The army of Sir Thomas Hislop was to break ep on the 31st of March ; and that distinguished officer, having completed the service assigped to him, was to proceed to Madras, his old head-quarters, under an escort of the Royals, the Rifle Corps. Sand Rockets.— The Bombay Gazette of the Ist of April asserts, on the authority of letters from General Smith's camp, dated March 24, that the war with the Peishwa bade fair to be speedily finished. Hager Row was moving to Nag pore, with a force computed at 25,000 men, not know. ing that General Doveton waited his approach Gen. jnith pursued him ciosely ; a battle was looked for, and the issue of that battle was not an object of anxiety. An epidemic disease raged amongst the British troops in India, and had proved fatal in many instances. and the adjacent villages, are crowd ed with foreigners. Every thing is exorbitantly dear, and will be still more so when the Sovereigns and their suites arrive. The Dukes of Wellington and Richelieu, and Lord Castlereagh, will reach Aix-la-Chapelle much about the same time. A 1 70. VI iatol i n o ri t n h ‘ , ll :t Ellarrit ited St ates learnree i rtin ,t the t s i e e rotations " s on ire'. at several of the iron works, bar iron is now mennfactured antler the hammer; and we are led to believe that this alteration xi!' add very considerably to the demand of our own iron for markets where heretofore that of Sweden has been used, as sales are very brisk at advanced Mires-v' Letters received from China give a favourable nc. count of the cei ton-ma rket at Canton. The Settfictrer had arrived, and three whole cargoes were in the mar. key, for which 12-5 all round had he. n offered, but the holders were vending out fora better privet. The c lase assigned for the rise, which former accounts did not encourage the speculator to expect, was the sudden destructirei of the crop in the province of Nankin. when it was just on the point of being gathered in. It is mentioned in letters from Niarzepore, that suttee had been fallin .• in that market for several days. Ac. counts from Builnout state, that a ureter qttentity of Chum:saucy and Miser cotton had passed that place • than had been known for eight years past ; hut it is added, that Kutchnera was net coming in so fast during the pit: snt as during the last year. A fall of two rupees per maunil had taken place in the Calcutta cote tan market, in the early part of February. Extract of a letter, Edited Madrid, J uly 9, in a morn. ing paper:—e• Puldic distrust and dissatisfaction ra p:dly increase, for inde ed nobody is secure in their own houses, such is the system °tithe Government and the preponderance of the Inquisition. Montero, Ur hanekr, n ad Zuluaea, bid:mein:l to the Spanish guards: Colonel GOTPZ Labrador ; Prebendary Bilches, a na. lve of the River Plata, and a mechaeist belonging to this city of the. name of Comitre, were all seized and shut us., in the inquisition of this place between 12 mud one on the night of the :nth. On the 18th Commodore Farener, Don &Jerry°, Licentiate lartinez Cava'. lero ; Valhalla, a printer; Reyes, a watchmaker ; Du. quid ned Duplessis, dyers, were also confined in the inquisition of Saragossa. The seizure of their pro. perty has been most severe; nothing these victims possessed has been spared. Even their wearing else parch was given in charge to the stewards of the Holy Tribunal. The u hole crime of these prisoners is, that they are :accused of being freemasons.. " It is said that Charlis I V. has pledge:l himself to necei t and support the constitution abolished by his son, Ferdinand VII. establishing religious toleration. The news of Morillo having died of 4 wound in his right side is generally believed here, and it is coolie deafly said that the Government has received the olili 'al neyiees of the circumstance, but the efrair is kept a profound secret. To-lay it is, however, said, that General -G risnaret, late Governor of Ceuta, is to succeed him in the command ; and it is added, that the selection has been made through the influence of Canon Benconm ' spiritual director of the !illy, as he once was of Morillo." A Mail has arrived from Halifax, Nova Scotia, with letters and papers to the 21st ult. It is stated in the latter, that since the execution of 111 r. Arbothnott, the conferences between the British and Spanish eat liasies at Washington had been inure frequent, and of longer duration than heretofore. The Act, constituting [lalifax and St. John's feet. ports, had given great sa tisfaction to the inhabitants of our North America's colonies. In consequence of the great drought, the woods between Liverpool and Port Mutton took fire, and burnt from flouts Port to the Western Head. — The ravages were dreadful ; twelve houses, and al most all the crops of grain, grass, and potatoe:, togs. thi r with an immense quantity ef timber, were de. stroytd. The instructions re ,ently sent out respecting the encroachments of the American fishermen on the coasts of British North Anterira are similar to those of last year ; namely, 64 that when found hovering upon the coasts, they are to be warned elf; audit found in the bays or harbours, to be sei4ed, and brought in for trial." The following is an extract of a private totter fmrt Mount Holly, in North America, addressed to a coin• mercial house in this country :—" .Manufactories aro going on here, but in my opinion without a prospect or being carried on to any great effect. One in ,particular, that some years past was considerable, is now almost. annihilats_td—l mean the iron works ; the produce of which was a good remittance, especially to England. These works are now in ruins ; and oa the ruins of many of them, mills for ett►din' and spinning have been erected; which, in the time of the late war, wera said to be productive to the owners ; but since the peace, I find many of them are advertised to l‘e let or sold, from which I conclude they arc become unprofitable. In reality, I am of opinion, that manufactories of almost every dettription cannot flourish on this side of the water, so lung as the price of labour eni:inues to 'ott from three to four times as much as with you, supposing the money of each country to be reduced to a common standard." . . IMO Ellenborougb is nearly recovered from his in. disrosition ; but his Lordship, it is said, expresses his determination to retire from the fatigues of °thee, as soou .A possible.
