We have received Halifax Papers to the 25th ult.— They contain extracts from the American Papers to the 18th Oct. The new Navigation Act of•the Uniied States tool effect on the ist, and on the 2d a British yawl, the Pill, from Jamaica, was seized in the Dela 'ware, fur a breach of this law, having come to an anchor - from a port where the American flag was excluded. The following are extracts : ' Pumtnu.matA, Oc.r. 10.—It is in contemplation in Canada, to conned) 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, has been on spur through the Provinces, and strongly Accommeuds undertaking. " MONTREAL, SEPT. 20.--Arrived at the Mansion Ilouse Hotel, J. Buchanan, Esq. his Majesty's Consul New York, who, we arc given to understand, has been at York, Upper Canada, to meet his Excellency Sir Pcreginc Maitland, on the subject of receiving , such British subjects as have landed in the United States, and arc desirous of obtaining, land in Upper Canada.— W.; arc had to find, Mr. Buchauuu has succeeded in THE NATIONAL lIMISTEIt the object of his journey. lie has been assured by his 1 , Excellency, that every facility will be promptly afforded to all his Majesty's loyal and industrious suljects, who may wish to proceed to the Upper Province, and that large tracts of the most favourable situated land will be immediately surveyed, fw the accommodation of the vast numbers who are directing their steps to those fruitful regions. 4 ‘ We are also informed, that the delays which have hitherto occurred in the locating of settlers will in fu turc be avoided, his Excellency being determined to give the most earnest attention to the emigrants, who are from the district, having their' bind as contiguous to each other as possible. Arrangements will also be made for directing them on their route, so that many of the hardshigs lvhilt these poor people wirer on lancing will be avvided. ' " The trial between the North West Company and Lord Selkirk excites much interest in Canaan; the hostility between the partisans of each is carried to the greatest extreme. " A letter from Detroit, Sept. 18, says, Lord Sel kirk was arrested by the Sheriff at the suit of the North West Company nu Sunday last, in an action of trtsfpass. his Lortf,bip intends to contest the legality of the arrest as king on the Lord's.day." We have received the Paris Papers of 'Wednesday. The French Funds remained nearly stationary fluctu ating only between 69f. and 69f. 10c. They loft off at the latter price, which was the closing price of Monday. Extract of a private letter from Aix-la-Chapelle, ' dated Nor. 6—" Mr. Baring is expected here from Paris, to be present at the conclusion of the new con vention, for the payment of the 165 millions, whkh France will pay by virtue of the Treaty of the 9th of October, lil 18, by arrangements entered into with the firms of Hope and Co. and Baring and brothers. By • this Convention the periods of payment will be pro longed three months. M. Labouchere, one of the principals in the house of Hope and Co. will remain in Paris." Hambnrgh and Flanders Mails have arrived They contain little besides accounts of the mutual visits paid by the Empress Dowager at' Russia, and the Royal Fa- ) mily of the Netherlands ; the arrivals at, and depar tures frota 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-Chapeile 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 about to marry a Princess of the House of Brandenburg's. M. Malthus; the Ex- Finance Minister of Wirtemberg, was dismissed from wrong addition, in making the amount of the Crown Revenue four millions instead of three. This arith metical blunder, it maims, was diseovered by a Lynx. eyed Clerk; but it does n 'ot 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 hisengagernents. The assistance afforded the holders of the reties, 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 69. 15. to 69. 50.: but that a confident expectation exists in the French money-market that tl►e 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 th. failure of a great House in lloiland ; the principal of which had been speculating very largely, and had, among other pecuniary transac tions, purchased no more than four million of renless these renter he had distributed as collateral securities with his bills among ten different bu►king-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 macs, to meet the demands of the different creditors. It is easy to see that so extensive an operation muss have considerably affected the market; though, at the same time, there is no feature in the transaction calculated to produce any permanent alarm fur the _credit of the French funds. SOUTH AMERICA. Our countrymen have frequently been warned against the groig delusions practised by certain persons in Lon don, who were urging them to embark in the South American contest. Independently of the politL•al reasons, which, in our judgment, rendered such enter. prizes highly improper, unanswerable proofs of the mis2ry, the hardships, and the disappointmentswhich awaited them across the Atlantic have been placed be. fire their eyes. Those, who in defiance of such admo nitions, have still preferred to dare the worst, have paid dearly !Or their temerity. A great proportion, observes Mr. Hackett, who has just published a narrative of the expedition which sailea in 1817, and of which he was unfintunately one, have either actually perished, or unable to procure the means -of returning to their native land, arc probably at this moment wandering friendless and destitute among the West ladle Islands, dependent upon the bounty of the humar:i and charita ble. It is the universal declaration of All who have !>e7211 so finunate as to return,.er whose levels have reached Englat: c that not one of the promises held oat to them here. tvere realizal upon their arrival in South America. " The strongest hostility," says Mr..l - lackm, " was manifested by the Justitgents to the. admission of foreign assistance ; and the j , alottsy of the native troops, of those few British officers who had been tempted :equally to join their armies, was so rancorous, as to suiv'ed Mem to tilt Fel-panel hazard of usraLlina lion." When the brigade to which Mr. Hackett be!onged, arrived at St. Bartholcw s, it was found necessary, in consequence of- the utter disvpointment of every hope with which it bad let England, to dish ind it. This was accordingly done, and the individuals composing it, were abandoned to their own resources, to stay where they were, and starve, to go on and be butchered, or return home, as their means, their desperation, or their, limey inclined them. We cannot say that our sympa thies are very - powerfully excited at the sufferings which our countrymen endured, because they knew what they did : but we ure prepared to express, in a most un qualified manner, our indignation at the deliberate treachery and artifices practised by the .self-styled Sonth American agents in London. We would fain hope, however, that the delusion is too palpable and gross to be carried on with mneli success: 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 book : " The Insurgent forces were reduced to a state of the greatest poverty, totally devoid of discipline, and not one fourth presided with proper military arms, the remainder being compelled to resort to bludgeons, knives, and such other weapons as. they found most oradily procurable. In clothing they were still more destitute find deficient, in most instances mertly con sisting 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 when 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 hole cut in the mipdle.,• let over the head, and tightened round the body by a buffalo thong, has been frequently the dress of the officrs : and one of them who witnessed the fact assured me that such was actually the uqfortn of a British Colonel ( ft—.), who Wilts at the time in the Insurgent service." 4 / 4 It is rumoured, that his Royal Higimess 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 hie palace and grounds at Brighton ! The architecture is in the Oriental style of the 'Kremlin at Moscow. We wish, that the next 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, are 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 thot or horseback. Hardenberg, of Mount-street, is executing a life-size statue, in marble, of the late lamented Princess Char lotte, by command of Prince Leopold, previous to liis 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 w abolish slavery in their island, from and after Christmas Day. We understand an order has been issued by the Court of Exchequer fur the examination of all brewers' casks, and those found deficient in measure, or without the Hall stamp, will be seized forthwith.
