The King, from advice, no doubt, wished to change the hour, probably as a mere ex ercise of right—but the Cortes demurred, and be yielded.

This honourable Junta has considered in several Sessions, the important business submitted by your Excellency to their deliberation, grounded on various sad repeated solicitations of Don Felix Alzaga, Cabo sel of the regiment de order, to compel foreigners residing in this city and province to aid with their ser vices in consideration of the circumstances of the country, whose protection they enjoy. This tionourabht Junta has minutely intestigated to It. foundation the perverse and insulting disdain with which said ;orrigners disobey the various or ders emanating from the government relative to them selves, and paralise measures most important to the interesting objects committed to your Excellency's charge, and to which they owe every respect and con sideration. It has been penetrated therefore with the imperious necessity of adopting 7 general plan, which by the establishment of a permanent order in that particular, fur the future may serve as a guide for your Excellency, and prevent the inconvenience re sulting from such opposition. To this purpose it has agreed to enact, as a law, the following articles I. Every foreigner having a shop, pwlperia, or store for retailing provisions, being an owner of land ed property, or exercising any art or profession, must be enlisted is the local corps, and in future will be subject to all the duties which citizens of his class' bear. 2. All merchants wl:o have houses of business es tablished, together wits their clerks, are comprehend ed in the 'acceding Decree. S. Strangers In general ate equally comprehended, be their business or occupation what it may, having been resident two years together in the country. 4. Foreigners who refuse to fulfil the duties im posed by the society tvlsich admits and protects them, will be compelled to their observance during their re sidence in the country—the government being respon sible for the exact and punctual performance of this resolution. 5. MI roreieners, non-residents, shall also be oh- Eget! to alTord to the country those services which the government may t:ceni absolutely necessary, to pre serve it from the imminent danger nitii whic;l it is threatened, without losing sight of the considera tions n hies they deserve, and much less those the in terests of the Mee demand. This ;;miserable Junta has also resolved to return to your Excellency the papers of this important af fair, that in conformity with the said articles, the so licitations and instances of the said Colonel of the Re giment ue Orden, miw be sated upon ; all which I communicate to your Excellency, for your information and performance.

[FROM THU SIERRA LEONI IMERTTE, INARci 101 We have much pleasure in announcing the safe ar rival of the Americas brig Nautili's in the harbour of Freetown from Norfolk, Virginia, having on beard J. B. Wien, and R. Bacon, Esqn. Agents, of the United States for captured African, and Messrs. Andrews and Wilberger, agents of the society for the establish- Rest of colonies of free coloured people of the United -Slates, on the coast of Africa. A number of Afri4s taken by the ships of fear of the United States, in their recent cruises on the coast,. are on board the Nautilus, wader the charge of Messrs. Winn and Bacon; and a number of free people of colour, placed at the direr this of Messrs. Andrewsond Wilberger. The intention of the gentlemen thus intrusted with the management of the enterprise—which, we are y to find, is formed on a basis of good too broad sad two firm to be , leranged by the losses and disappoist moots incurred at the place first chosen fora HMO-. the Sherbro--will be, as we understand, to collect the surviving members and remaining stock of that ,settlement, and to ineorporatm them with those now brought out. The managers will then consider bow, the whole can be beet disposed in furtherance of the great object for which they are sent to Africa. While we sincerely and heartily wish luau to this Brat ob ject, we trust those gentlemen will see the expediency of placing their settlement at such a distance from this colony, as to leave no ground of rival interest to pro duce unfriendly feelings between their colonists and the inhabitants of this settlement. We trust they will rather, ai far as it shall be found practicable, endeavour to fix themselves in a place suited to make those feelings of interest, which are inseparable from human nature, and which are the great spring of the industry that constitutes the source and support of colonial prosperity—contribute to the maintenance and promotion of the mutual good will and amity, and of the reciprocal good offices naturally to be desired between settlements devoted to the same beneficent purposes. [IRON A HALIFAX TAPER or • LATI naval Vona, (U. C.) Arun. 14.—Resolutions paned is the House of Assembly, 1821. 1. Resolved, That his late most gracious Majesty, is dividing the Province of Quebec into the two ProvietwaJ of Upper and Lower Canada, contemplated the minnows benefit of his faithful subjects. 2. Resolved, That the Parliament of Great-Britain, I in furtherance of such gracious intention, gave to such Province a separate Legislature, lodepoodent each of the other, and controllable only, in certain cases by the Parliament of Great Britain. 3. Resolved, That the priniipal Revenue of both of the said Provinces is, and oeght to be, derived from duties on imports from the sea. 4. Resolved, That the said Provinces have access to the ocean only through the Port of Quebec. 5. Resolved, That by mutual assent, the said Pro 'rinse of Lower Canada imposed Duties on Imports at the port of Quebec, the proportion of which to be re wired by Upper Canada was settled from time to time by amicable arrangement. 6. Resolved, That the last amicable arrangement to that effect, expired on the 30th June, 1819. 7. Resolved, That from causes not depending on Up per Canada, no authority existed to confines the samm or to provide a new arrangement, from that period to the day of March last. 8. Resolved, That all proportion of Duties on Imports at Quebec, since the said 30th day of June, with the ex crptiou of the sum of 4000/. paid or. account by order of the Governor in Chief, has been, and continues to be, withheld from the Province. 9. Resolved, That any other mode of collecting Du ties on Imports into this Province from Lower Canada, except by a rateable proportion of the receipt at the Porte of Quebec, has been found impracticable. 10. Resolved, That any delay in the payment of any such proportionate receipt to the use of this Province, Is injurious, and ought not to depend on the controul of any but the Parliament of the United Kingdom. 11. Resolved, That an arrear of the fair proportion of Duties due from Lower Canada to this Province, has accumulated to a large amount, whilst the public cre ditor has been delayed and the ordinary administration of the Government embarrassed from want of Funds. 12. Resolved, That it is expedient humbly to Address His Majesty and the Imperial Parliament, to exercise the undoubted right reserved by the 31st Geo. 111. ch. 31. and to provide that the proportion of Duties collected at the Port of Quebec, shall be paid to the use of this Province, in such amount, manner and form, as Parlia ment in its justice and wisdom may devise. SAINT MICHAILS, MAT lo.—The American schooner, Catherine, from Havanoah for Montevideo, arrived off here lst of May, and requested permission to take on board a supply of wood and water, which was granted; bat the moment the captain aid two Spanish gentlemen passengers landed they were made prisoners, and march. ed over the mountains. This measure was adopted on suspicion that she was a privateer, notwithstanding se veral Portuguese went on board a nd examined her, who found she bad a cargo of rum and sugar, with seven teen men. At length she was permitted to proceed on PION TSB WARD AT TIE NSW iNOLAND COIPSZ NOM. ST. Joss's, Nan!

The resell of the trial in the sue of Malty Arm Csat.tait has excited se estraortheary sensation. The sett:ant of it which we this day abpy from tee resOsol.l all 4 Morning Papers, Ind which costitn tilltentat said, e6140 11 * particulars. varies -in ost eirenmstaneWoffieelt the amionat we yesterday ,received. It doss net seen that a 'sae prose:pi was agreed on to be entered. AU that appears is that the parties With the con currence of the Court, consented tlia# the Jury shoal' be discharged without giviag a verdict. Mr. Coeirilll in exprnsing his acquiestessee likened, that awe they had been enclosed frdni font o'clock the preeed lag afternoon, a space of ajrin(en hours, it would be cruelty to protract their confinement. This is a very unusual step, unprecedented we believe in a criminal proceeding, though it is said to have once taken place in a civil ease. Several papers have represented this as equivalent to an acquittal. It is affirmed, how ever, by the friends of the prosecution, that it had se such effect. The defendant, it is alleged, is simply placed in the Natoli :which she stood before the Jury were icapauelled sad it will therefore remain for the Association to determine whether, or under whateircuns stances, the proceedings are to be renewed. Whether this assertion is well-founded, re have not the means of ascertidning ; but admitting that it has, it become extremely doubtful, whether ender any circumstances ;he Association will deeni it adviseable to renew the proceedings. The recent trial, has in some degree evinced the feelings of the public with regard to the formation of an Association like the present. The re snit does not prove, indeed, that any of the Jury acted from a prejudice against it; for the matter charged as libellous, if liable to the imputation of going beyond the strict line of fsir discussion, may well have been considered as not exceeding far enough to warrant the imputation of guilt. This may have bees the conga .entious °pipits, of such of the Jury as appeared dis posed to pronounce a verdict of Not Guilty; but still sufficient evidence is given that the mind of the Public does not accompany the proceedings of the Association; aid the probability therefor: is that their ulterior aims may be relinquished. :t was understood on Tuesday evening, that the number of the Jury in favour of an acquittal was then four ; yes terday forenoon, we are informed, it was increased to five. The following are said to be the names of the Jurymen :-- SPZCIAL Jcantsx.—John Stracev, of Smithfield Bars, metchant ; Philip Jacob, of Crescent, Cripplegate, ditto; James Byrne, of Dyer's Coen, ditto; Charles Wright, Old Jewry, ditto; Whey Horton; King's Arms Yard, ditto; John Webb, Coleman-street, ditto. TALEIII4M—Joseph Blackbirn, Russia mat dealer; John Davis, painter; John Williams, cheesemonger; Bryan Mills, packer; Michael Williams, agent; Fred. Bennet, smith. - ANOTHER VACANCY IN TVS COVRT Or ALDERNRN.•••• Mr. Alderman Bothwell, we learn, tiled this morning about half-past 8 o'clock. His Majesty will bare a grand dinner party this day at Carlton-house. It is the intention of the Gentlemen of Brighton to erect a platform at the bottom of the Steyne, to facili tate the embarkation of his Majesty from the beach. There is to be a batch of twenty Baronets. We have only heard the names of two of them, and they are both persons of the highest respect—Claud Scott, Esq. and Coutts Trotter, Esq. The Marquess of Wellesley, it Is confidently said, will succeed the Marquess of Hertford as Lord Cham berlain. One hundred men of the Life Guards are selected as an immediate Garde-de-Corps, to attend his Majesty on the Irish visit: they are in height 6 feet 4 incies each.—(Do6lio Correspondent.)

The Queen was yesterday present at the review on Wormwood Scrubs, attended by Lord and Lady Hood and by Lady Anne Hatnilton. We observed amongst others on the ground, h:s Royal Highness the Duke of York and Prince Esterhasy. The Highlander, at the Coronation, alluded to In a late paragraph, entitled " Mysterious Circumstance," was a gentleman, whose appearance at the theatres in full Highland costume, and his sometimes eccentric conduct, have rendered snfficiently notorious. Letters from Constantinople of the 21st ult. state that Baron Strogonoff, at that period, continued in his country seat at Bujukdere. This intelligence is supposed to be more recent than any received at Paris. and consequently falsifies the account of his impri sonment in the Seven Towers. While the report of the capture of Coro by the Pa triots appears to be confirmed, and their success in Mexco is nearly complete, it is stated that they, in another quarter, have sustained a reverse. After remaining In possession of the city of Caraccas It days, they were driven oat of it on the 25th of May by the Royalists, who also succeeded on the following day in regaining possession of La Unarm. This in telligence is communicated in letters from St. Thomas's of the 13th of June, received yesterday.

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.—Tors John Jones was put to the bar, ebanoil:by the our. diet of the Coroner's laquest with nimsahagtor, is felo niously killing and slaying Willis= Ellis, by striking him a vi him on the side. It appeared that the prisoner was a waiter at the City of London Tavern, at which place the deceased was also a:t occasional waiter. Cn the 14th of June last a dispute arose between them, which ended in the pri soner striking the deceased a violent blow. The In censed afterwards complained of a pain in that part, and on the foil wing day went to the Hospital. Me died on the 16th, at a house in Long-alley. Er. John Smith, the Aurgeou, who had bled the de ceased, deposed to that circumstance, bat said, that he could not positively say that death had been occasioned by the blow in the side. The Comstote-StniJaArr here interposed, and said that it was necessary, before the prisoner oiald be cone victed, that substantial proof *sold be offered, that the death of the deceased had beta occasioned by the blow given by the prisoner. 'that sot being the ease it was the duty of the Jury to acquit the peienter. , The Jury accordiarly retina a millet of Not Guilty. John Read, aged 41, was indicted for stealing on the 141 of June, a mattress and bedstead, and other articles. the property of Mr. O. Appletree. The prosecutor is a gentleman residing in a small cottage near Horton, and tie articles stoles had been deposited in a summer-house on the spot. About ten days after the robbery, some suspicions circumstances attached to the prisoner, and be was apprehended by a Bow-street officer. The bou:e of the prisoner being searched, the stolen property was there found , together with a great quantity of other rroperty stolen from different indi viduals. The prisoner, in defeace, declared that be bad found the articles in question. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Cuawooo said, that the prisoner was an old adept in his profession. There were seventeen other charges against him of a similar kind. ' The COMMON SIOUCSN r immediatly sentenced the prisoner to 7 years transportation. The Right Hon.

There appears to be no foundation for a paragraph which we copied from the Dublin papers relative to Commodore Sir Charles Paget's acquainting the Com tnissioners of Dunleery Harbour that his Majesty's squadron, in his approaching voyage to Ireland, was to be composed of one ship of the line, four frigates, and twelve sloops. His Majesty's escort will, we understand, consist of a couple of frigates and two or three sloops.
