Gibraltar Chronicles in the 2Gth ult. are received, froiril which the following are extracts : The quarantine schooner returned from Tangiers Bay on the 24th instant. Within the last fortnight, the plague had consi derably increased in Tangiers, and spread even amongst the principal Moorish and Jewish families. " The Chief Priest of the town had fallen a victim to the disease. " The total amount of deaths from the Bth to the 9.3 d, amounted to 152 persons. " The plague continued to rage in all the villages in the neighbourhood of Tangiers, and it had extended to some villages in the mountains, to the southward of Tetuan. " The accounts from the last mentioned town are contradictory. A Moor, however, who arrived at Tangiers, just before the departure of the schooner, positively affirmed, that the deaths in that town amounted to about 23 persons per day. " Letters up to the 20th inst. from Fez and Laroche, state, that the public health in those towns continued to be good. American papers arrived mt Thursday, containing an account received from the Island of Trinidad, of the capture, on the 4th Aug. of Guira by the Independent squadron, commanded by Brion. The place was taken by storm, and the attack and defence appear to have been maintained with the most desperate valour, In several instances no quarter was given. The whole of the crew belonging to a principal ship of the I nsurgents were put to the swonl by the Royalists who had effect. cd a boarding, whilst the troops in the Spanish fort and gun boats were indiscriminately massacred. Al though the main fact is established of the ca ► et►►re of the place, yet these details seem very questionable. In 1783, wlion Pitt came into power, the whole encise cf Clovnenment did not exceed 14,500,0001.; now the pow-rates approach that sum. The Archduke Maximilian of Austria and suite arrived on Saturday at the Swan Hotel, in this town, from Osti.r.l Ills Imperial Highness visited the prin cipal manutacl , niesiu the course of Monday and Tues day meruinf, owl at three in the afternoon departed for Beatidesert, the ,eat of the Marquis of Auglesta.— BinsittgLas chron,clc. EGISTER. TITE NATIONAL REGISTER. The matters, wet in dispate exactly, bat in uncer- I tainty, and which were left tint arrancna..nt between this country and Amerie., at the tonebasion of the late war, arc said to have been, the greater number of of them, happily settled by the Commis.ioners appointed for that purpose on onr part, and Mr. Gallatin on the other, before that gentleman vit:ed kini;lund. The boundary, which was lei unsettled in the treaty at the end of the revolutionary war, is now accurately fixed. This, if true, is a great point. The right of fishing, and drying ti-h, on the coasts of Newfoundland, is clearly defined ; and the terms of intercourse between our West India Islands and the vessels of the United States are specified and agreed on. These also are mat ters of considerable weight ; but the greatest difficulty remains behind, and it is probably fin. this reason, that it is the greatest, that it so remains ;—the right of visi tation, and the power of apprehending the seamen of each country, when found on board the ships of the other, is still unsettled. We arc said to have made propositions on tire subject, which it is understood that Mr. Gallatin wislitst to refer to his Government.• We 'recollect, that at thf time when this point was discussed, with less aotieable (tidings than at present, the Ameri can journals boasted, that it' we would but listen to reason, their Government could strike out propositions so satisfactory and so capable of effecting their object, that we could not but accede to them. Now, there fore let the 'propositions be brought forward. We con fess that, as we are at peace with America, we would wish to be so wholly and sincerely. The Treaty, whatever it may be, that i 3 concluded, will not, we suppose, be made public till the ratifica tions are exchanged. It is reported, that upon the breaking up of the Con gress, the Allied Sovereigns will publish a joint Decla ration or Manifesto, in which they will express to all Europe their anxious desire and determination to omit nothing in their power to render the general peace so happily re-establisbed secure, permanent, and pros perous. The Ministers of the Allied Sovereigns, it appears, have deliberated on the propriety of holding a Congress once in three years, fur a general settlement of conflict ing interests : and the proposal is one which has met with considerable approbation. An article from Strasburg dues homage to the steady discipline of the foreign troops quartered in that neigh bourhood, and to the mild and judicious conduct of their officers during the whole period of their service within the French frontier. The anniversary of the battle of Leipsic was ob served at Aix-la-Chapelle by the Allied Sovereigns and their suites with as great pomp and festivity as the confined nature of the imperial city, and the limited materiel of show, parade and amusement, could admit. In the morning there was a grand review of the little army of horse, foot-guards, and artillery, which com poses the garrison, attended by their Imperial Majesties of Russia and Austria, and the King of Prussia, the Grand Dukes Constantine and Michael, the Prince of Orange, the Prince of Mecklenberg, the Duke of Wel lington, several Russian and other Princes, and a great body of General Officers attached to the suites of the Monarchs: the Princess of Tour and Taxis, the King of Prussia's sister-in-law, was likewise on the field, with several other ladies of distinction. The review began about nine o'clock. As the day was fine, and a Sunday, great crowds flocked to witness the spectacle; and the little army being exercised on ground broken into small fields by hedges, rows of trees, and banks of brushwood, seemed to increase in numbers by the dif ferent points of view from which it could be seen.— After performing several mancaavres, it defiled before the Sovereigns into a close or field, hemmed in on one side by a range of trees, where the infantry drew up in a hollow square. The Sovereigns and their suites, who had dismounted outside of the field, took their station in the middle of the square, on foot, and with their heads uncovered; and the clergyman, after reading prayers and joining in the Te lkum, chaunted by a band of young singers. delivered an address to the brilliant assemblage, and offered up a prayer to Heaven, suited to the occasion of the anniversary which the festival was intended to commemorate. When the service was concluded, the troops raised a huzza, and the cannon stationed at r little distance fired several -rounds. .It was remarked at the review, that the Duke of Wellington was g enerally by the side of the Empe ror Alexander, and enjoyed the greatest share of his conversation. On Thursday the National Society for the Education of the Poor in the principles of the Established Church, held a meeting at St. Martin's Vestry-min, the Lord Bishop of London in the chair. Seventeen fresh schools were united to the society, and several grants of money from 201. to 1001. each, were made, towards the erecting, enlarging, or fitting up of school rooms. His Royal Highness the Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg has pre sented a donation of 1001. to the National Society.— His Royal t ligliness has also signified his intention of accepting the office of steward at the next anniversary meeting in St. Paul's Cathedral, fur the benefit of the Sons of she Clergy. THE QUEEY. OCT. 2G. The following Bulletins of the Queen's health have been ilsued since our last : " Kew Palace, Oct. 10. 66 The Queen has had sleep in the night at interval;; but her ntki , :sty's disease remains the same as yesterday." 6 6 !C•w PSIII::4!, Oct. to.

Her Majesty cumulus'. die "%me ha yesterday." ‘ 4 F. MILLMA`,44 " H. HALFONDP ` Her Nlaje.:l7 'a disordet; we regret to say, appear:4o be resuming most of its former distressing gymptomq-- liiiiippetzte luis almost entirely left her again ; the cough, and sense of pain on the side. are very trou'')le• some, and render the Royal Patient extremely restless ; whilst at the same time, the slightest motion has a ten denry to produce these alarming spasms, on the supe rior viscera, which have heretofore threatened her speedy di4ointion. Hcr Majesty has suffered so much for the last thr e e dilys, and the exhaustion arising from the want of sleep is so great, that the most serious apprehensions are en tertained of her approaching demise. She has more than once miraculously recovered from symptoms almost threateningals as the present ; but it is obvious that each return o f the malady iegiccompanied by increased weakness, and consequently the case becomes more hope less. It is reported that Ministers have resolved, on the demise of her Majesty, to propose to Parliament a greatly diminished establishment for the King, at Windsor ; and to entrust the care of his person to the Duke of York, who will have an additional allowance to bisincome for this service. 'fhe Prince Regent arrived from Brighton on Fri day at six o'clock, accompanied by Sir Benjamin Bloom field, and after receiving the evening report of the Physicians, his Royal Highness remained to dinner with the Princesses. The Duke of York also visited the Palace, in the course of the day, but neither the Prince Regent nor the Royal Duke saw her Majesty. She was too much • exhausted to receive them. It is stated in the Jamaica Gazettes received to the sth ult., that the island was perfectly healthy np to the above period: but we learn from a paragraph in one of them, that at Surinam an epidemic prevailed, which had swept off a considerable number of indivi duals. Many of the Dutch died in four or five hours after they were first seized with it. The States General of the Netherlands were opened on the lgth inst. with a long speech from the King in person. His Majesty speaks with apparent satisfaction of the late decision relative to the allied troops in France. He paints in cheerful and flattering colours the internal state of the kingdom, and expresses his confidence in the success of certain measures which he hints at, for equalizing the public receipt with the expenditure. We stated a few weeks ago, that the celebrated Abraham Thornton had arrived in this town for the . purpose of emigrating to the United States. He has experienced more difficulty than he had anticipated in getting a passage thither. It appears that he had en gaged one in the Independence, but when the other «ng►ers became acquainted with his name and cha racter, they unanimously refused to go in the satne vessel with him ; and a new muster-roll was in conse quence made out, in which his name was omitted.— Liverpool Courier. A misunderstanding has arisen between Miss Ste• phens and the Manager of the Cork Theatre. Miss Stephens' salary there is thirty-five pounds per night for her services. For this liberal bum, the manager considers that she is bound to sing in afterpieces as well as in full operas, when he shall require it, as she did in Dublin. The Lady conceives her engagement to be different; as in Dublin, in alition to the above nightly sum, she received a certain share of the money taken at the doors. By mutual consen•, fifteen pounds of the thirty-five is nightly lodged in the hands of a trustee until a legal opinion can be taken upon her engagement, to which both parties have agreed to submit. A survey has been made of the barracks along the coast of Kent, Sussex, and Hampshire, fir the pur pose of ascertaining their state for the accommodation of troops. The regiments quartered in these districts will thereft)re be removed, in order that the army re turning from France may be quartered in the n•ari. time counties, in preference to marching the regiments into the interior. The 9th Lancer and the 35th re. giment of foot, now occupping our barracks, are ex. pected to be removed.
