this commenicadon we do not know, but it is cer tain that either this intelligence, or that contained 'in the Paris Papers respecting the enormous sums of money subscribed by native c.ipitalicts in the late loan, must be incorrect. The letter adds, that M. Pima, and other bankers, are mach displeased at the preference shewn to foreigners. This le certainly ♦ery natural, Tor as a certain advantage must accrue to the individuals *con tracting for the loan. the suhj.cts of the har rowing Government have undoubtedly the best claim to obtaining it. This consideration is, how ever. altogether independent of the policy either of drawing foreign capital into a country, or of pre venting its own capital from being diverted from profitable employment ; and taking into view ■ll the cirosantances of the present case, and particu larly that the money to he raised by the French Government is as moon as raised to be sent into .foreign countries, we certainly think it more pru.. dent to pay those countries with foreign capital .taken up for the occasion, than to satr co large a b akere or native capital to be so suddenly removed from France. Thrse Papers mention an instance of the miser. able imbecility of the Spanish Government; in a case of eatreme importance to the commercial in. terests of the country. The King of Seat*, witty more colightened views than have born usually at. tributed to him, or, what is more probable, haring the good fortune to enjoy the advice of some able Minister, issued an Ordinance some time since fur constituting four free ports in his kingdom. The advantages of such a measure could not be doubted iii the present circumstances of the Spa nish Monarchy, but the Ordinance was repre .sentrd by the favoured merchants of Cadiz as in jurious to their interests, cud the general good of the State has been sacrificed to preserve the monopoly of this single community. The Ordi. mince has been countermanded. The merchants of Cadiz have hitherto assisted the Government iii the prosecution of the sanguinary war against the American Provinces, and the Government was, co doubt, afraid of displeasing them. It is Itcmisfortune of despotic power, that though able to oppress individuals with every species of injury, it trembles at the appearance of opposition front the moat inconsiderable body of men within the State. • The French Five per Cents. are 79 f. 29 Batik Actions 1,6151. We hare been so frequently assured of the total annihilation of the several contembil armies in South America, and have been so lung promised the miurditste or tranquillity. that we have ceased to attach any credit to the, various rumours that reach Europe from that distant seat of war. We still find armies fighting, and occasionally learn the devastation caused by a sanguinary civil coldest, but the recounts of the battles given by either party are remarkable only for their extreme inconsistency, and indeed differ so much from each other, that if the dates did not preserve something of an identity, we should fancy the narrators were telling of actions totally distinct. In another part of our Paper will be found some dispatches from the Spanish General Mt:MIA°, in which he boasts of victories, where we verily believe there hail been no engagements. His first dispatch is slated Match 14. This states, that he had " completely beaten She enemy, driving them from Cabrera, which they ill,aiiitoued in betaking themselves iodic mountains. Tar fruits of this victory were 2,600 horses and mules, 20 load of baggage, 200 dead, many wounded, one standard, sod—one saddle !" Truly this one saddle doth complete the climax of Don PABLO NloaiLLO'S achievements, but it at the same time lets us into the nature of the actiou„ and the character of the troops on the side of the Patriots. 'l'iie enemy, it appears, had in this action 1,300 cavalry and one battalion of infantry. We doubt very such whether 1,300 cavalry could well lose 2,600 horses. But the loss of their equipments could not be a very severe blow to the cause of Mile. pendence ; for we must presume that the cavalry be strode their chargers without the usual encumbrances, us the capture of the one uufortunate saddle fills so conspicuous a place iii the record of the Spaniard's success. The Patriot force, amounting in cavalry and infantry altogether to less thaii 2,000 men, and haring lost in the action " 200 killed mid many wounded," were " totally dispersed, and wandered übout the mountains ;" but still there were enough of them, it appears, left to afford Don MORI LLO the means of obtaining another •• brilliant victory" on the night of the 15th.— The miserable remnant of the Insurgents " fl ed every where in terror ;" but having recovered its spirits in a most unaccountable manner, and rege nerated its strength, these Insurgents ventured, on the 17th, under the command of BO LIVA R, to make " a combitted attack on the army of his Excellency the Gen, ral.iii-Chief, in the situation of Boca Chica cad Las Puertas." They, of course, suffered "a complete defeat and total rout," as the dispatch • But the strangest part of the story is, that the miserable remnant of the original 2,000 men, Or.veo and dispersed over the mountain., from the 1411, to the 17th, lost in this final ect;ott 800 killed, and 900 wounded. lOU pripots- ITIO• 1,600 muskets, 3,000 horses and mules, aud-50 rounds of ammunition.

Among some recent de mands addressed to the Diet of Frankfort are the establishment of an entire freedom of the press in Germany, and the security of commerce, not as hitherto, by the sub.idiary aid of a foreign navy, hut by vessels of their own, built in their own ports and rivers. It must indeed be very humiliating to the nations of the Continent to be under the necessity of imploring the aid of England against the Bar bary pirates, while to England herself it was at tended with an expense but ill requited by the gratification it afforded to her vanity.

The contrail which it presents to the formsl verbiage of such documents in the present day is «hiking : N Because the true and ancient institutions of Parliament do require the Lower House at this time if ever, to be com pounded of the gravest, ablest, and worthiest Members that may be found.

The Prisoner, when on hoard, lied sore legs, which he used to rub with flour, and Ito saw him take pills every night. They arrived at Marankstn, and afterwards, in September, sailed from that place for Liverpool, with a cargo of cotton. On the voyage, about fur or five days before the death of Captain Ryder, lie and the Prisoner had a quarrel about some dollars. Ile heard the Prisoner give Captain Ryder the lie. Captain Ryder was very angry, and threw, cued to knock hint down—the Prisoner said, " Cap" Nun Ryder don't strike me"—the Captain replied, " I'll strike you or any man that gives me the lie —I defy you or any man to catch me in a lie." lie shook his fist, and held it up close to Neastoi.'s face.

He laid the table just before right o'clock, and set on it beef, biscuit, Wiper. and tea ; the lilipee was part of what he had made. He made the tea—lie had gut it out of the canister from which it was usually taker'. The store in which the canister was kept, wits not locked ; he took the water from the ramie cask us before, and boiled it in a tea-kettle made of iron ; he put nothing into the kettle with it ; he drank sonic of the tea out of the put, It was he that usually put the sugar on the table; it was kept in the companion way.
