THE NATIONAL REGISTER. LONDON: MONDAY, AUGUST :24, 1818. We yesterday received Paris Papers of Wednesday last. The following are the anily articles worth Lxtraet- iug :- PARIS, AUG. 18.--A rumours is circulated, that the negociations which are carrying on in Path between Spain and Portugal, are on the eve of concluding, and that the Spaniards.w•ili be put is possession of Monte Video as soon as possible. His Royal Highness the Dale of Gloucester left Berl-Imi on the 12th inst. for Agen, from whence he will proceed to the baths of Bareges and those of Bug. ;;eres ; 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 'ef October, on a visit to our capital. The King has reccr.tly itsued an ordinance which kijcios a new kind of playing cards, the figures on w4ich arc taken from our history. Those card' arc the invention of the Sieur Houbigar., and may be manu factured by all of the trade in France. Their use will be adopted from the 16th September next. MADRID, JULY, is almost generally :mated tere, that we shall not have war with the United States, notwithstanding their invasion ofeur territory in the Flo -I,das, not C7eL on account of the taking of reasacola irtrr NATION AT. RrA;NTVTI 110 the Fort 14 . Earattens. It is said, that Cioa. Jackson liar, not only guaranteed the ancient private property of the inithitants, but also du; cunceAion of laud latch, masks I;y the Spanish Government. This mewure is very fortunate shr the new proprietors: amougst these latter' crc several Noblemen, whom the King honours with his s;:ccial esteem. By account!, America we learn that the Insvr :.;ents itett.;l by retaliation in regoard to us. They have shot t;ve °Slicers of the battalion of Nutaance, and all the prioncra which fell into their power aft« r the toting of Ortiz. This unhoppy intelligenceforins the posteript or the report of the Genera/ in Chiet: An article in the Nladrid Official Garctte states. that the obligations relative to the subject of claims between the Governments of. France and Spain being declared reciprocal by an additional article in the Treaty of the 20th July, 1818, it has !keen agreed " that one moiety of the total sum due by France shall remain in deposit, in the hands of . nu 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 sum deposited. We solicit the attcnticn of our readers to the in telligence from Ceylon, which will be found in another part of our paper. The proclamation of Governor Brownrlgg will speak for itscle, as to the state of the miserable country which he administers. The rebel lion scents • to be more diffused and consolidated, the inhabitants more fierce, and the combats more frequent, than they were reprucntid to be by any thrmer advices. 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 Spaniards having taken possession of the brig Eclipse, Wormington, of this place, which vessel sailed from this for St. Domingo a few weeks ago. Capt. Wormingtcn had been taken to the city of St. Domingo, thrown into a dungeon, and loaded with • heavy irons, the brh dismantled, and the whole of the crew put in confinement. The plea for 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 tapt. Wormington had taken his vessel a few weeks before, and kept him n prisoner 14 days. The Scatuander frigate has been dispatched by Admiral Harvey to demand un explanation from the Spanish Governor." Letters and papers have reached us from India, to a date much wore 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 Pritzler, who alone con tinue in the field, and add daily proofs to those already afforded, both of their professional zeal and of the difficulties of that service which they have not yet succeeded in tcrinivating. In all parts of India but but towards the south-cast, the v,.ar was at an end, and the armies had retired. The general ore.ers 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 annihilated as a power, and many of their Chiefs bud u , ceptc‘i lands from the Bri. tish Government, as their only means of subsistence.— The army of Sir Thomas Hislop was to break up on the Slst of March ; and that distinguished officer, having completed the service assigned to him, was to proceed to Madras, his old head-quarters, under au escort of the Royals, the Rifle Corps. and Rockets.— The Bombay Gaz.etle of the Ist of April asserts, on the authority of letters from General Smith's camp, dated March 24, that the .var with the Peishwa bade fair to be speedily finished. Bag-ce Row was moving to Nag. pore, with a fume computed at 25,000 men, not know. ing that General Dolman waited his approach Gen. Smith pursued him closely ; a battle was looked for, and the issue of that battle was nut an object of anxiety. An epidemic disease raged amongst the British troops in India, and had proved fatal in many instances. Aix-la-Chapelle, anti the adjacent villages, are crowd ed wi►h foreigners. Every thing is esotbituntly dear, , and will be still more so when the Sovereign, and their ! suites arrive. The Dukes of Wellington and Richelieu, and Lord Castlereagh, will reach Aix-le-Chaps:llc much about the same time. Papers of a late date have been received from New Saudi Wa!es. They state the arrival at Port Jackson of a vessel from Otaheite, which brought ;ntere4ing iiitAligence of tae English Missionaries having visited Otalwite, and converted all the Islanders to Christianity. The vintage in Frunce, it, is said, will be finer this autumn, thins it has been fvs the last 10 years. t* - 7,.

The Seq/late.ti had arrived, and three whole cargoes. were in the mar . ker, for wh:ch 12.5 all round lea be n ofF.r••d, ? M t. the lealders were standing out for a better price. The assigurd fur the rise, which former accounts did wet eneourage the speculator to expert, was the sudde n destruction of the crop in the pros ince of Nankin, when it was just on the point of being gathered in. It is mentioned in letters from. .14wrzapore, that cotton had been fallinz in that market for several days. Ac. mounts from Budnout state, that a 4rester trtantity of Cleutedeoucy and 13ilsee cotton had passed that place than lead - been known fur eight years past ;. but it is added, that Kutchoora was not corning in so fast during the pre s ell as during the last year. A NI of two rupees per malind fiat t.:ken place in the Calcutta cot. tote market, in the early part of February. Extract of a letter, dated Madrid, July 9. in a morn. ing paper:—" Public distrust and dissatisfaction co pidly increase, for indeed nobody k secure in their own house., •ucie it the systrm of the Government anti the prepond••ratere of the Inquisition. Montero, Ur betteejas, a 1:1 Zulua , ra, belonteg to the Spanish guards ; Colonel Gomez Labrador; Patbendary Bilches, a me. cite of the River Plata, and a mechanist belon;ing is this city of the name of Cornitre, were all - seized and shut Le. in the itereisitian of this pla.!e between 12 end one on the night of the 241 h.

The seizure of their pro. perty has been most severe; nothing these victims po•sessed has been spared. Even their wearing AV. pare! was given in clear,;‘, to the stewards of the Holy Tribunal. The st hole crime of these prisoners is, thttt they are accused of being freemasons. " It is said that Charles I V. has pledged himself to acre ! t and support the constitution abed:sleed by his son, Ferdinand VII. establish;ng religious toleration. The news of Morillo leaving died of a wound in his right side is generally believed here, and it is cool.. • (lenity said that the Government has received the advices of the circumstance, but the atrair is kept a profound secret. Today it it, however, said, that General Grisuaret, late Governor of Ceuta, isles succeed his in the command ; anti it k added, that the seleet•on has Leen made through the influence of Camels B-nconeo, spiritual director of the King, as he once was of Mor:11o." A Mail has arrived from Halifax, Nuva Scotia, with letters and papers to the 21st ult. It is stated is the latter, that since the execution of .Mr.Arbuthnott, the conferences between the. British and Spanish em batsies at Washington had been more frequent, and of longer duration than heretofore. The Act, constituting Halifax and St. John's free ports, had given great sa tisfaction to the -inhabitants of our North American colonies. In consequence of the great drought, the woods between Liverpool and Port I.lhtton took fire, and burnt from Milts Port to the Western Head.— The ravages were dreadful ; twelve houses, and al most all the crops of grain, grass, and potatoes, Loge. ther with an immense quantity of timber, were de. stroyed. The instructions re -eta!) , sent out respectimg the encroachments of the American fishermen on the coasts of British North America are similar to those of last year ; namely, 46 that when found hovering upon the coasts, they are to be warned off; and if found in the bays or harbours, to be seized, and brought in for trial." The following is an extract of a private letter front Mount Holly, in North America, addressed to a com mercial imuse in this country :—" 'Manufactories arc going on here, but in my opinion without a prospect tn being carried on to any great effect. One in particular, that some years past was considerable, is now almost annihilated-1 mean the iron works ; the produce of which was a good remittance, especially to Englani. These works are now in ruins ; and on the ruins of many of them, mills for carding and spinning have been erected; which, iu the time of the late war, were said to be productive to the owners ; but since the peace, I find many of them are advertised to be let or sold, front which I conclude they are become unprofitable. In reality, I am of opinion, that manufactories of almost every description cannot flourish on this side of thu water, so long as the price of labour continues to O.; from three to four times as much as with you, supposing the money of each country to be reduced to a common standard.' Lora Ellenborough is nearly recovered from Lis in. disposition ; but his Lordship, it is said, expresses his deterniination to retire Gina the fatigues of office, at toots al possible.
