New ORLEAtts, Nov. 3.—A Gentleman who left Vera Cruz about the middle of October, and whose opportati;ties of procuring authentic intelligence re. Wive to the state of the country were particularly favourable, informs us, that the news lately publish. ed by the Spanish Authorities _respecting the internal concerns of Mexico, is greatly exaggerated, if not utterly unfounded. It was believed in the best in formed circles at Vera Cruz, that so far from Gene. sal Mina being destroyed, he was making' a rapid and irresistible progress into the most wealthy and • populous part of the Vice. Royalty. lle had de feated and cut to pieces, in three separate affairs, three different regiments of the Royal Army who bad attacked him. Persons at Vera Cruz who dared to converse on the subject, and whose information 'was derived from authentic sources, declared that his motions and dispositions were admirably judicious, end that his troops evinced.an invincible courage, as .sell as the merest discipline. The value of the French Officers particularly, was spoken of in terms of the highest praise. lie has passed through the cities of Leon and San Louis de Potosi, and was within a hundred miles of the capital. From the rapidity of his progress, and his taking uninterrupted possession of two such important places as Leon and San Louis de Potosi, one of two inferences were inevitable : either his army is so formidable as to put down all opposition, or the People of the country are ex tremely well disposed to favour his views. A convoy of 5,000,000 dollar: from Mexico had been due at Vera Cruz several day., when our in formant sailed from that place; apprehensions were entertained that it had fallen lute the hands of the Insurgents. Part 44' the root between the two cities' was certainly in their possession, and bands of them frequently appeared within view of the walls of Vera Cruz. - (Prim the New York National Advocate of Decensbit: It.) The following is an reflect of a letter received by the Ann, dated Kingston (Jamaica), Nov. 13 : • " The affairs of the Patriots create a great sense lion in this quarter, though the wishes of the mer chants ere partly divided, because many still carry on trade with the Royalists, who owe a great deal of money here.

The Spaniel* still con tinue to deceive the Public by their Extraordinary Gazettes, in which they picture false battles they fly they have won. The plains of Casanare and Cala. bozo are whoty in possession of the Patriots, and in Santa Fe the Royalists have scarcely any thing else than the capital and Certtiagetta, where every time news arrives of adrantagee.,gained by the Patriots, fresh arrests and executions false place.

We hatirectivad 'New York Pepers to the 13th ThOkielligeoce from Washington is of the 9th. The only odditiOnal communication made respecting the proceedings of Congress is a notice of the report ing of a Hill in the House of Representatives, on the Btb, to authorise the commutation of soldiers' bounty lands for money, at the rate of one dollar and forty cents per acre.—lt is stated from New York, of the 12th, via Charleston, that • ship fall of passengers had arrived at Amelia Island from New York, but that it was very sickly at Amelia. The Congress frigate, with the American Commissioners for the Southern Provinces, had pet to sea. It is officially notified in the Gemetie of the Diesican Spanish Government, of November 1, that General MINA and his followers bad been eaptored and molted, and that his invasion of the 64 faithful dominions" of the 46 beloved Lord and King" FERDINAND, in Mesico, has thus been terminated. The Courier of last sight has made special use of this authentic and official information. We doubt much the truth of this loyal Gazette. In dependent of the little reliance to be placed in Spa. nish reports and Royal- Gazettes from the quarter in question, we have reason to believe from previous accounts of nearly as late a date as the above, that MINA was in no danger of such a fate. From all the previous accounts received from New Spain, it is evident that to obtain possession of MINA'S per son a battle must have taken place, both with him and Father TonnEs. Ilow MINA was situited about the middle of October will be seen by the es tracts we have made from letters that may be relied upon. Nothing wrs known at Kingston, on the 23d November, of MiNA'a being taken, as the letters ar. rived yesterday by the Ann are silent on the subject, and we publish an extract of one dated the 13th.— Letters from Ilavannah to the middle of November were also received yesterday, and they are equally silent as to any such capture. The Gazette article is inserted in a Journal Eatraonlinsry of the Govern ment of Havauuah, of the Ist December, and states, that MINA was taken prisoner on the evening of the 2'7th of October, in company with 25 others, in the pass of Veuadito, belonging to the estate of Tlachi quera, where be was with 200 men, nearly the half of whom were killed; among the rest the Patriot PEDRO Moat:No, whose head had been brought to Silso. It is not nicety that MINA was to be caught in this trap. He had penetrated into the heart of Mexico with above 10,000 followers, and was esta blishing himself in its most open end fertile Pro. vinces. The Spanish Gazettes have been full of false hoods,and this, we have so doubt, is„ont gf this preposterous fabrications. -••••■10....--. The Canada Papers to the 9th ult. mention that a Public Meeting had been held at Quebec, to take into consideration the proposed duty on timber im ported from North America into England. A Cow mittee of eight Gentlemen bad been appointed to draw op a Memorial to Government against the mea sure, stating that it would be the ruin of the British Colonies in North America. 'The American Papers inform ai, that three thou sand seven hundred and seventy-five new settlers have arrived in Lower Canada during the present season.--These settlers gratuitously receive crown lends ; but the Papers coufideutlypredict the ulti mate failure of this experiment to people a desolate country with the refuse of an impoverished corn. munity. The iron climate, and arid soil of Lower Canada, they, say, will never sufficiently pay the cultivator for his labour. Emigration will travel west nod by South, but no farther north. Settlers will arguable where they can obtain more than one eta per annum, where their interest would be in creased, and comforts promoted : and instead of dwellini amidst eternal snows, they will por * sue the " even tenor of their way" to softer climates. These are among the few objeetions against the success of emigrants in Lower Canada —they also operate against the supposition of the vast increase its the value of lands in that quarter, and the policy oe the British Government in try ing to get rid of a portion of its needy subjects, by gitins theta lands In Lower Canada; as the •. ,•••• • - . *Nig the ejlegiance of such sobjecte new air, and if the minister 4 eta .aster shiestilever encrease eo as to - nihilettee of the French or Canadian ii Britain will bud it sincens eo-osais qoillity of thoprov - is thp rivet of grant? in that ireaten the an.

The malcontents Whatever may have been their slumber, appear to have Wed formidable plans. Their projects are said to Wave been formed so far back as the summer. The scenes of the plots were in Romagna and the Marches. The Conspirators intended to have sounded the tocsin, 4o have taken Macerate by force, and, according to the Wald charge brought against Reformers, to have assassinated the friends if Government. The Go. senior and the Commandant of the GenwParmerie, however, defeated their plans. The, . ee dis persed; an action is thus followed have taken place, and several of the Chiefs of the insurrec tion have been put to death. A reinforcement of troops, however, appears to have been necessary to accomplish the subjugation of the Revolutionists.— They are as usoal-denotninated "men without im portance and reduced to despair by their own disor der."—This is very intelligible. It appears, how ever, that this disorder had. its source in a very large and organised conceutretion of the materials of despair ; and if despair means desperation, we may perceive from this, what an extensive portiou of the inhabitants of the Roman Provinces have, by snore means or other, been driven to this lamentable state. The inserrection had its original, it is added, in the Society of the Curbonnani," who are spread through the RONJUA Provinces." Their Chief was "the famous CALABRESETTo," who, with other Chiefs, is stated to have been killed in the engagement. These Associations then are no longer secret, they have started into the light of day, and been the objects of military pursuit. The troops of the Inquisition may have succeeded in . driving them from the field, but we see from this that bayonets are still necessary to sepport the power of the Inquisition, even in Italy. It will not be able to suppress all the effects of this event and of such So cieties by its usual. secret cognizance. The French intelligence is not important. Louts is sustaining them attacks of the gout, with all the dignity of a true legitimate. The Chamber of De. inities have resolved by a great majority, that the King be requested to propose a law for removing all difficulties, as to the eligibility of Candidates, at future elections of Deputies ; and the Resolution re commends,that no one be eligible, unless he be 40 years of age oo the day of election, and be, at that time, liable to She payment of direct lazes to the required amount—looo francs yearly. There is in this custom of reposing the initiative of all laws in the King, something extremely indica- tire of the childishness of the French character in regard to politics. They have yet much to learn in this respect. To speak against the Project of a Law is only opposing the Ministry, and gains a burst of applause—yet what they propose to reform is the proposition of the King, who is perhaps, as above observed, requested to initiate the law'; and such, in fact, is the respect paid to a Royal Oidon nance which" may and can abrogate any law what ever," that all laws formed by the National Repre sentatives, sad sanctioned by the King himself, are counted as slut in the balance compared with such an act of Royal Prerogative. The proceedings on the Army Recruitment Project are the only points of interest in the French news. And here we see the Bovenort Prerogative starting forth in its ■seal character. The Commission on the Plan is chiefly composed of military men, End it is pro posed that promotion shall take place in mach the same manner as in the English army, according to seniority. Against this part of the Plan, however, a warlike indignation is expressed by the Bousauxurs and even the reporter himeilf. It is declared to he a crime against the King's Prerogative to think of pri ority being the law for military promotion, and that the King alone, as the fountain of honour, has a right to select what officers he thinks proper, and to , confer upon them what rank be pleases. This is the true Legitimate doctrine of prerogative, and the wis• doss and policy of its discriminations have- been, sad may again be, strikingly esempli6ed in France. The Bernier resource of the Conscription, a measure which was made the leading ground of reproach against . PONAPARTE, shows the degree of fawner in which the service is held. When loch an expedient is necessary to raise 40,000 troops, the Honours of the Bovitsow cockade cannot be deemed ►ery enviable. Our Readers will bud some curios: statements, not likely to be met with in any of the Journals, in the communication of oor Private Correspondent in this day's STATESZAIN. In the Chamber of Peers, the discussion of the Project relative to the Liberty of the Press. which" stood for the Bth, did not then take place; but the Project was referred to ` Committee. It is stated the arrangement of several difficult sobjects of diE. cassibn. 66 All the dispatches," says a letter from Gambray; of the d, "by extraordinary couriers, -mere ordered to be sent after him without delay. ft is thought that his Grace, who returns to Cambrsy next week, will ♦ery soon make another visit to Paris. On the lst of January an express, with dis. patches for the Doke, arrived from Berlin, and pro. waled immediately to Paris." The Emperor of Itussi A is stated in a Petersituro article to have actually ordered the Treaty, called the holy Alliance, to be reed annually in all the Churches etthe Empire, on the anniversary of the day of its signature. Extract of a Lotter from the Agent to Lloyd's, at the Cape of Good Hope, dated 15th Nov. 1817 :-- " The following most dering'instance of pfracy was committed in our port on the 11th inst. viz.:— The Elizabeth, White, lying at anchor off Robin (stand, with about 120 tons of oil on board, wa s hoarded at *boot one A. M. by a party of armed deserters from his Majesty 4 s 10th regiment, and,con. yids (about 12 ia number, i. e. five soldiers and seven convicts), who after securing the 'ratan, &c. ob. Weed possession of the ship, and in the same instant. cut the cables, loosed the sails, and, favoured by a strong S. E. wind, succeeded in carrying her off. At six A.M., the Captain and crew having refused to listen to their invitation to join them in their pirali. cat undertaking, with the exception of the Mats, were permitted to leave the ship in the beats, which reached Robin ist f aa in safety about foor,o'cLock the same day." By a letter received to.dsy, we learn that the. Ad. miral Gambier, BRAM, laden with Government stores for Ceylon, was totally lost en the morning of the '29th June last, having struck on the reef of Joan. de Novo, in the Pdosambique Channel—crew saved. W INDOOR, JArr. 11.—Friday FAY HENRY HAS.. 'Mau went out of waiting on the King, and left the Castle for London. This day the Royal Family it tended Divine Service in the Private Chapel, in the Castle. The Queen and the Princess ELIZARBTII then rode out by Englefield Green, and returned to the Castle to dinner. This morning Lord Sr., He- LENS and Count MUNSTER left the Castle for London. It is said that the Omen before Carlton-Winona' be moved to the back, by which mM,e.t Prowlat edifice will have the appearance from the Park of a megnificent palace, 'and great improvements will be made at the front in Pallmall. The Parser Renee; while. the alterations are making, will re side, it is said, occasionally at the Pavilion and , Ma r lborough-house. GIBRALTAR, DEC. 11.-.—This place presents ono scene of mourning since the intelligence reached it of the great recent national loss. On Sunday last was the day appointed for showing Paternally the. interior feelings; inasmuch as is customarily aothorixed. A most excellent Sermon was delivered in the Gover nor's Chapel, by our friend, Mr. MACKERRLTIf, suitable to the occasion. In which, with great truth, intermixed with religious ideas, he paid a high eulogium on the virtues of our much regretted depart ed Princess. The Peelle of s EYGPT has received news of a victor; obtained by one nf his sons over the Wechabites, iw the country of Yemen. We learn from the same quarter (Alexandria) quit the trade in the Red Sea is becoming active. Several vessels have, lately arrived at Suez, among which was an English ship. They came from China and the East Indies. A letter from Quebec, dated December 4, states, the winter Is fairly set in, ss may be seen by the state of the thermometer. We believe the last vested that will sail this year left the port yesterday. This morn ing at 8 A. M.,the thermometer was at 3f below 0. We're informed that the Deputies of all the Ger man Universities assembled on the Wartburg, near Eisenach, solemnly bound themselves, in the name of their ethistituents, to dissolve instantly en their return what is called the Lendsmannschaften (union by the mime native country), and to aboblish the practice of 110141, leafing affairs of honour to the decision of &Court formed orthe equals of the parties. Lucsz.—A private letter from Sr. Lucie, by the lost wicket, gives a most afflicting account of the effects of the late tremendous hurricane hi that en-- fortunate Island. It has been ascertained that the losses of individuals amount to upwards of 600,0001. a sum more than the fee simple or the Island is worth. - The sufferers have made an application to Govern ment for pecuniary aid, which perhaps will be listened to, as the island, though of little commer cial importance, is valuable en account of its being a Source of great patronage in the Colonial Depart ment. The salary of the Governor, with the excep tion of Jamaica, is one of the best in the West Indies. The climate is one of the worst. • A Mier from Sierra. Leone mentions the return to, that place of the British scientific expedition for ex ploring the interior of Africa. They were complete ly unsvccessfut, having advanced only about 150 miles into the interior, from Rio Nunez. Their pro- ' gress was there stopped by a Chief of the cppntry, and after unavailing endeavours, for the apace of four months, to obtain liberty to proceed, they abandoned the enterprise, and returned. Nearly alt the animals died. Several officers died, and, what is remarkable, but one private, besides one drowned, of about 200. Capt.
