This exaction has proved par -Ocularly Sesatiuue, and the operation has.been most unjust and grievously oppressive. The payment has, lit seem, been demanded, end often accompanied the match several fold; and in many instances of this operation, absolutely absorbed the aggregate annual profits derived from the sale of many watches by per "tines in a confined line of business. It appears in evidence, that this Plate Licence Duty has been de - • mended and paid five several times over, in the pro , gress of manufacturing one and the same watch, even before it could be offered or was ready for sale ; so that the sale pricevaay bare been absorbed before it 'Could be at market. • 6.

The want of more ample enactments for the int. provement of the existing Acts, Laws, sod Regula tions, respecting this manufacture and trade, for the more effectually attaining the objects and purposes in tended by the original enactments. 10.

March 18, 1818. • - --- PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. Paris, July IS. Fresh arrests, bet of .obscure individuals, have taken place in ceissecteence of the late conspiracy, and Ministers are pursuing as close an investigation of the case as their delicate situation will permit. It appears that the scheme in question was well com bined, and would infallibly have been carried into effect, bad it not been for the disclosure made to the King in the manner I explained to you. Ministers were in perfect ignorance of it. Indeed, there woold seem no reason for its being abandoned even, now, the means of esecution still lying in the hands - of its framers. The Royal Guard, consisting of Swiss and French Regiments, continues to do duty at St. Cloud. A few of its officers have been removed, it, is true, but the rest entertain the same spirit—are equally devoted to the Princes. Ministers hese no► power or influence enough, either to substitute another guard in its lieu, or even to pot officers of their choice over the present one. It is net clear, therefore, and indeed Ministers themselves are by no means satisfied that the conspiracy is at an end. This hostility between parties has broken oat at an unlucky moment, a time bordering on the Elec tions. Ministers obtained tolerable ones last year by calling the Ultras to their aid. The same resource they cannot expect this year. They are now, there fore, turning about to the Libereaux, and offering concessions as the price of their support. They are tampering with M. Lafitle and Manuel, and, as pledges, are already giving some indications of a change of system. M. Donoyer is liberated on bail . , and his prosecutor, the Attorney-Getters! ■t Rediriss, is dismissed. Thedirections given respecting M. Fibrin. and Seurevill, under prosecution for libel, are reversed—judgment is to be given in their favour.,—This state of things has em boldened Marshal Marmont to declare in a letter to the Due de Richelieu, published is the Minerve, that his Aid•de•Camp is justified in all his assertions against Canard and de Chebrol, and that a promo tion directed against Fahtier would be one directed against biniself. It is expected that Ministers will ►elent also in Their instructions relative to the Editors of the Bibliathequa Ilistorique, still on their trial. The proceedings are closed, but judgment is suspended until the 24th. Of course they will be guilty or not, and the sentence be lenient or severe according to circumstances on that day. The same Editors are now announcing a Journal des Elections, directed by the Society for the Liberty of the Press. • . .'" as to depth* Mai, 31 man wltinti Mr. O'M z s atOop led the situation _ ~aroLto, ph) sebjectld . ljpt . to s ttestment from 1k Governor which we shall not eharecterize it ap pears to deserve, bet which is well end amply de pears in - the letter frets that Geettemeo to Sir H.

Though Mr. O'MEARA is a British Officer, bolding rank in the Navy, end consequently under the necessity of main twining in his person its honour unblemished, it seems the Governor has for some time past manifest ed an intention of subjecting him to the same restrictions as the French Poisoner's have been doomed to suffer. From this and other conduct, highly insulting and dishonourable to himself and his profession, this accomplished young Gen tleman, whose attendance on the French Empe ror was by Lord limit conceived 'to be highly useful to the British Government, has been under the necessity of • resigning, and solicit ing his removal from the situation he has held at St. Helena. This is evidently what was wanted by the authors of this dishonourable conduct, and we are sorry that Mr. O'Mesna has gratified them so far. But his feelings end sense of duty in a sites tion of which history affords so parallel,. will secure him the esteem he merits, its spite of any artful insinuation or misrepresentation " arising from malice, revenge, or a dread of the truth's being made known in England." Accounts have been received from Teneriffe, stet log, that the Spanish convoy with troops, which lately left Cadiz, bad brought up in the harbour of the above island, where one of the frigates had been condemned as not sea-worthy. A great scarcity of provisions prevailed throughout the whole fleet, for the public coffers at Cadiz were so low, that proper supplies had nut been furnished. This hid created considerable uneasiness and dissatisfaction ; and a strong remonstrance had been made by the Naval Commanders to the Governor of Teneriffe. The island was equally as bare of provisions as the fleet; but the Governor immediately laid a forced contribu tion of 120,000 dollars on the inhabitants, in terms equally severe and argent as if the place lied expert. enced the invasion of en enemy. The sealed orders hail been opened, and the general opinion wag, they' were destined for Lime ; indeed, some of the vessels. which had a proportion of the troops on board, bed been purposely chartered and loaded for that quarter. It is uncertain whether the late important news from Chili would reach the fleet before its eventual sailing, as the information will only arrive at Madrid by the post from England. At all events, the Spa niards will find their great efforts are too late; for, should the expedition go round Cape Horn, the Patriots are now provided with a stout fleet on the Pacific ; and, should it bend its course towards Ve nezuela, Bator; is fully prepared to give a good ac count of it. Id Lard hob Paris Papers to the 15th inst. stave come to hand. There appears to be much closeting and confabola. lion among the Ministers, but not a word is yet said in the Journals of the conspiracy against the Go vernment. The Duke of WELI.INGTON had a con. ference on Monday with the Deke de RIC.IIELIEU, and the English and Spanish Ainbassadors. The King remained at St. Cloud, where his Majesty on Monday transacted business with the Duke de Rt- CIIELIEU; the Duke bad afterwards an interview with MoNsINUR. Though the Papers say nothing respecting the conspirators, it appears by the accounts from Paris, through other channels, that the investi gation of the charges against the persons implicated is carried on with great activity, under the speCial di rection of M. [IMAM', Procoreur•General, who, in such cases, is invested with discretionary power. The persons arrested are still confined au secret. Among the persons cited to appear, in order to be interro gated, are mentioned :—Marichal-de-Camp Ikon DE CUAUSIGNY ; Baron DE VioMENIL Sieur PORSION, formerly Commissary• General of the Police at Mar seilles; MaezerrviLLE, the Dramatic Author; Count DE LATOUR. D'AUVERGNE ; a Secretary of M. DE VITEOLLES, &c. All General CA:suat.'s papers hate been seized, and are, with the proofs of his flight, in the hands of the legal authorities. Some say that he is gone to La Vendee, others pretend that be has escaped to Switzerland along with Gen. DONADIEU. A private Letter from Paris in another column adds some curious and interesting particulars regarding this mysterious affair, and the situation in which it has placed the Government. 66 It is an ill wind that blows nobody good," and this circumstance has for tunately not only done no harm to the parties con spired against, but bas had the best pouible effect on the conduct of Administration, which is represented as now changed from prosecution of the Liberals, who had offended the Ministers by their writings, to measures tending to favour aad protect these un fortunate persons.

We should be warranted in believing, without any direct -evidence to particular facts, that it could be no trivial or single circumstance,• however painful and irritating in its nature, which could call forth written complaints from a man of NAPOLEoN BONA. rARTE's heroic spirit, which sustained without a mur mur the severities and the disasters of the Russian climate and campaign. The treatment which this really Illustrious Person, illustrious and interesting in the midst of all his reverses and adversities, in sustaining in his remote and deserted captivity at St. Helena; appears not to be the least of 'his misfortunes. It is certainly a proof of no ordinary mind, of a strength of reason seldom the lot of mortals, to be able to sustain with equanimity the loss of such a sceptre as NAPOLEON one wielded—but it may re. quire greater patience, perhaps, to bear for years the insolence of coscomical pride, " drest op in a little brief authority," and suing that power to heap un. merited indignity or inflict unnecessary privation, upon men of worth and incorruptible integrity.— The most illustrioss and important prisoner that ever England bad in custody, and with whose name her honour is indelibly associated, has been kept for three years in the" unhealthy barn" of Longwood, though the materials of an expensive habitation, large, and we were told sufficient in every respect for an Emperor's accommodation, have been lying rot-I ting on the Island of St. Helena. Is it 're tard to suppose that any reasonable man would voluntarily prefer living in a barn or a pig-sty, of which he complains, were the comforts of a palace io his option ? Lord BATHOWIT, with all his unfeeling and miserable attempts at ridicule, will wot easily convince us of this.
