^►Q!t FOREIGN I NTELLIGENCE. S1'•1I~. TA 'nein, Sm. 2l.—The dismissed Mini , ters set off for th..ir destinations cm the night Of the t 411 i --Al. Pizarro, fot Valencia; NI. Garay, for La AI 00000 nia (Aragon), and M. Vat rises Figueroa, for Santiago (Galicia). The cause of their disgrace is yet a matter of speculation ; but the people Informed ascribe it to the iuNuence of the King's euetessor, M. Brucumo the Patriarch of the 'tidies, aud the Pope's Nuncio. These indisidual,, iris supposed, have come to the assistance of Messrs. Eguia and LOA4IIO de Torres, the for mer Minister at War, and the latter at the bead of the Dc. pirtnsent of Justice. The Weird* the measure, although stu diously concealed, is believed to Le to put a check to the Onaucial plaits of M. Garay in the part which has relation to the clergy. Nothing demonstrates it more than the attempt suade at Torija (a village near Guatlalaxara), by a crowd instigated by some priests, against the person of M. Garay, vibe was obliged to flee in the middle of the night in order to prevent any mischief. The new Minister of Pinnace en deavours to inculcate that his intention is to cat ry into exe cution the plans of his itredecess.d., and for that porpo".e he NiNpeblisb very soon a circular odd' eitsed to the intendants stud tax latherers. Moue, becomes esery day more scarce, and the public funds feel very h the effects of this sc.ircity. The / ales Communes rifler a loss of 79 to 80 per cent. ; the Non-con ealidaied lose snore than 81 per cent.; and the toipodiditted proportionally. The National Debt without Interest is only worth 4 per cent.; and, notwithstanding, buyers are not to be found at the Fotchwnge. in several provinces the only coin Su circulation is copper and a little gold ; silver in ge send is withdrawn front circulation. Preparations for fitting out the 4! xpeditinn against South Ainelies are carried on ■s quickly as the penury of the Trea.nre permits. The expedition. it k said, will be coin po,ed of d line of battle ships, O frigates. and several light vessels ; the land forces will amount to It?,000• commanded by Gen. Freit e, instead of the Count of L'Abispal, who has been dismissed ; and his seconds in command will be the Generals Sarlitield and Cruz Nitirgeon. rumour is in circulation that a system of espionage is umuug the views of the new Ministers, with its usual appen dages of oreming letters, &c. AMERICA. Some cations articles are presented to ns by the American tapers respecting the Bank of the United States. That vx tensie establishment is of recent date. A capital of several millions of dollars via% subscribed to it. Blanches fron► the recent bank were fixed in the principal towns throughout the Mon, it being understood that the notes of each of these were to be of equal credit every where, nod to be convertible Into cash, when tendered to the Central Bank. From some cansca nut detailed, it would appear, that the system has not ♦cry eminently prospered. A circular letter from the cashier of the New York branch has been published, declining to receive any notes either of the principal bank, or any of its branches, except the same shall be made specially payable at the New York office. The Richmond Inquirer asserts that the Mother bank has refused the notes of its own branches, ex cept in payment of debts due to the Government. Is this, or is it not, equivalent to a declaration of bankruptcy? We have also received papers to the Silt ult.—By an article Coin New Orleans it appears, that the Governor of Cuba had dispatched a Spanish frigate, of 38 guns, and two other smaller vessels, for the perpose of capturing Commodore Aury's squadron : that an action took place near the Spanish Main ; and that the latter, not being able to effect an escape, resolved on boarding the frigate, which he carried, but was so dreadfully wounded in the action, that he died a few days afterwards. It was stated that the frigate was cruising off Cartliagena under the Insurgent flag. Admiral Brion's spin dron was, in the beginning of August, eruizing off Cape St. Antonio. According to an article fpm St. Thomas's, he had -ordered two English officers to be shot, daring his last visit to the Ortionoko. This statement, we trust, will prove to be as incorrect as another assertion in the same article, relative to the arrival of Sir Gregor M'Gregor iu that river, with 600 English recruits. The Doted pirate Mitchell had left his aid station off the aonths of the Mississippi, and was understood to be cruising of the Bahamas. The rumoured retreat of King Christophe from the vicinity of Port.amPrince is confirmed. The Spanish Minister at Washington had, in consequence of instructions front his Court, made a formal demand of the restitution of those parts of both the Floridas in the occupa tion of the American troops. The details of the trial of Messrs. Arbntlinot and Ambristie are not expected to be made public, until they shall have been laid before Congress. SOUTH AMERTCA. - - Extract of a letter from an officer on board his Majesty's ship Antelope, Admiral Harvey, dated Gulf of Pavia ' Trini dad, Sept. I :—`• We had here the other day, A d m i ra lßrion, (Aliniratite Venecelano) and squadron. They are gone down to attarl. Go ria, which has been in the possession of the Roy alists these last twelvemonths, and no doubt we shall very shortly have some news from that quarter. The Admiral declined having any intervie w with lion during his stay here, as we have not yet acknowledged the Venezuelan flag. P.S. Since I have written you this letter, we have accounts -of the capture of Gain* by the Independents, from the licamander, Capt.

Gates, a respectable tradesman - residing in Tooley- Areet, received on Thursday an anonymous letter, int:Timing him, that on the night of the 17th instant, it was the intention et a gang of 12 persons to break into his house and into that of lg. next door neighbour, murder both families, and carry of every portable article of property. The writer further states, that he had been compelled by misfortunes to join him self to the gang. ton had then detetmined to quit them and go to America ; he describes himself as having been their chief, but as re foiling to give his consent to the plan of murder and toArry in contemplation.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER EMORI AL 01: ROBEVT OWEN, OF NEV LANARK, IN SCOTLAND, TO TUE GOVLIt NMENTS OF FrItOPE AMU ABIFIZICA. The Menvbrialist hag devoted the last Ihirts }ctrl of his life to the study and practice of political ectinoin, and by permitting practice in all tuxes to collect throw. he has attained the mobt important results for the well being ut society. In consequence cf the numberless benefits which the knowledge tints ;required is caleittAteil to dive to the inhabit• ants of every conntry. the memorialist is (Irsironft of making it known, in the slimiest time, to noise who govern the civi lized world and to the public. lie therefore presents me morials oil the subject to the Governments of Etn tr i m and America. The memorialist is not influenced to this proceeding by partiality or prejudice fir ar aLtoinst any class, sec:, party, or country. He views the ss hole Imolai) race as men created originally wtth the same general faculties snit qualities, though varied in degree and trained by cireninstances, over which scoiety has now a complete control, to despise, hate, and oppose each other even to death, although the path is now clear, by which, with more east, society may train them to esteem, to love, and to aid each other. Nor vet has the memorialist been aerated to the condue which he adopts by a desure for wealth. for popolarity, lot honours, or for fiance fame; to him these already app"•ar ther playilain4s of infants. Hilt he is induced to act thus, because lie can show the causes which perp-taally gene' ate misery in littatia:i society, and also develop the means by which, ssithout injury to any, those causes may be gradually, and, at no very distant pe riod, effectually removed. 'bo witness this change in part, or, if that shall not be permitted, to know that it must soon commence and rapidly proceed, is his reward, and it is already secured to him. Under these ciremnstanees the memorialist claims not that kind of attention which is usnally given to ordinary questions at' policy; but lie asks for the devotion of the minds of the parties wkoin he addresses, that they may comprehend sub• feels not yet open to common capacities, and which involve all the valuable interests of society. Fora period has arrived in which a greater change in ha man affairs will be forced on the world than the world has yet witnessed ; but in all its ettent the change will he highly beneficial to every individual and to all states.. _ . It is a period, when the errors which have hitherto perplex ed mankind, are about to be unravelled, atoll, in consequence, the obstacles which stood in the +say of human improvement and enjoyment will be removed. The immediate causes which make this change certain and necessary,are, the overwhelming effects of new scientific power, and the rapidly increasing knowledge of ad claqses of men. The former will soon render human labour of little nvail in the creation of wealth, while the latter will make evident to the people the absolute necessity, which his thus arisen, for them to give a different direction to their powers, and it will inform them also how the change is to be ef fected. To this day, the means of consumption or of obtaining the necessaries of life, by the working classes, have been ac quired solely through the medium of their labour, the value of which the new power has already mach diminished. And the certain consequences of the undirected progress of this power will be to reduce the exchangeable value of manual labour, until it falls below,,themeans of procuring a wretthrd subsistence for any larg e proportion of the worki n g cl asses , while the remainder o f e theta must be starved out of ex istence. Such is the nature of the contest which has already con tinued for seine time, and which now exists in full activity, between scientific power and manual labour, between know ledge and ignorance ; but no oar, who comprehends any thing of the subject. can for one moment doubt the result. It is presumed that the power thus addressed cannot desire an increase to the misery oldie people,while, in consequence, new dangersjto every state must continually arise on eve)) , side. He is now ready to communicate the lull details of these important subjects to any or to all of the Powers whom he now addresses, that if those details shall appear, ou exarui. nation, to be derived from facts and experience, as he. pre sumes they will be tnund, the requisite measures to stop the progress of the existimg distress among the working classes may be adopted by the respective Governments, before the period shall be passed, when the combined extended suffer ings and knowledge of the people will permit the requisite time for calm deliberation. The memorialist adds an Appendix, which contains some of the general results which lie has derived from long study, multiplied experiments on a large scale, and a personal com munication with acute, intelligent and enlightened men of all classes, sects, awl parties, more varied and confidential than has ever perhaps fallen to this lot of one individual. And thins circumstanced, he awaits the deliberation and reply of the Power whom he has now adds eased. Frankfort,2oth Sept. ie is. APPENDIX. Containing some of the general results derived from the Memorial ises lung study and experience. First Generaißeswit.—That the period is arrived when the means are become obvious, by which, without force or fraud of any kind, riches may be created in such abundance and so advantageously for all, that the wants and desires of every human being may be over satisfied. In consequence. the dominion of wealth and the evils arising from the desire w acquire and accumulate riches, arc on the point of terminating. Seemed aerrtral IlevNlt.—That the period is arrived, when the prin ciples of the science are become obvious, by which, without force or punishment of nny kind, the rising generation may be, with ease and advantage to all, surrounded by ciicuinstances, which shall form them into any character that society may predetermine; and if any defeat shall afterwards appear in those characters, except what nature has made uncontrollable by human means, the cause will not be in the individuals, but it will be solely owing to the inexperience of the parties who attempt to put those invaluable principles into practice. _ _ In consequence, the dominion of ignorance, of fraud, and of viohnce, is also on the point of terminating. Third Gen!, al Result.—That it is the interest, and that it will soon appear to be the interest of each individual, in every rank, in all eountnes, that judicious measures should be adopted, with the East delay, to secure the beneficial results in practice. It is, however, greatly to be desired, that they should be carried into effect, by general consent, gradually and temperately, in order that no party or individual may be injuted by the changes which must necessarily arise. In consequence. any attempt to stop or retard the introduction of these measures will be trial/Idling. 4ire.mly th.! principles And con sequent practice are placed cfrectuall .he power of Jurmui assault.
