Our Chamber of Commerce has just addressed . very energetic representation to the Government, complaining of the injury which the merchants sus tain in consequence of the measures ordered, it is said, by the Secret Committee of the Faith in our city, of which General Equia is President, to stop the mails going from France to the Peninsula, and vice versa. This complaint is said to have been induced by a report generally spread and believed, that there lately arrived here two soldiers of the guerillas of the Faith, which infest the great ►oad of the three provinces, bringing dispatches for Gen. Equia, and even a part of the intercepted corres pondence, which he has refused to give up, alleg ing that he had received only dispatches concern ing hie army. However this be, if the orders to stop the mails continue to be executed as is feared, the merchants of Bayonne will sustain serious in jury by the total interruption of all busiuess with the Peninsula. The adventurer A Icarez Toledo, one of the p►in c:pal agents of the counter-revolutionary party 'thief) has been formed on our frontiers, arrived here the day before yesterday from the Seo d'Urgel. It is said he complains of the operations of Quesada and Co. The Supreme Junta of Government of Catalonia intends, it is reported, to send a represen tative to the Congress at Verona, expecting that he will meet with a better reception than the Deputy _ of the Constitutional Government, if one is sent. Various reports of military preparations are cir culated here; it is even affirmed that orders are given to receive at Bayonne, between this and the lid, of October, 25,000 men . ; but we canaut *ar rant the accuracy of this statement. We content ourselves with saying, that the military preparations, and laying in stores of provisions, continue, mile, that our neighbours, the Constitutional Spaniards, are a little alarmed at them ; not that they fear a foreign invasion, for they boast before hand of the fatal consequences that would attend it, as well for the• invaders as the invaded; the invaders, they say, - would not be able to sleep at ease in thrie - Awarters without a guard at the foot of their - beds to protect them from the dag ger. In the Interior similar threats are heard, even from the women, who participate in the enthusiasm of their husbands and relations. The Royalists on the frontiers, however, wish that an auxitiary army had already entered, and there is no doubt that 3,000 men wound hot at present meet with the small. est resistance as far us Vittoria. We have no cer, tain accounts of the army of (Ness& posterior to the affairs of the 7th, which is confirmed, with the exception of the arrest of that General by his own troops, which was a mere firtien as it seems. It is, however, said, that after the defeat of the '7 t h, Que nch and the Trappist retreated towards Moncayo, on the road to Calstayad ; others pretend that they have taken the direction of Catalonia, by the way of Ainsi and Benavarri, having left in the mountains of Navarre about I,ioo men. Others affirm that General Equia has just received dispatches from Queseda, dated the 1 tth inst. from heti. It is nine o'clock, and the post from Spain is not yet arrived; the driver of the mail from Bayonne, who gees to the Pas de Behobie to fetch the mails tam sits Peaiosala, arrived this Morning at eight o'clock, kciogiog only letters (ma bun end St. Se bestian. The 'first confirm the news that the three last mails from this city for Madrid have been in. tercepted, two in the Basque provinces, and the other at Lerma, six leagues from. Burgos, by the partisan Cabello ; and add, that it was not feared that the mail would be intercepted, because orders had been given to escort it, but that it would per• haps arrive 24 honrs later. The St. Stbattiait Gillette contains a circular note of tht Provisional Deputation, the object of which is to collect in the chief towns of the districts the young men dwelling in the country who may be in danger of being carried off by the factious.— Measures have been token to give fifteen sous per day to each mon while they are in those places of refuge. Thus all excuse is taken from those who should pretend they were carried from their homes by force; sod the Mayors, &c. are made responsible. Another circular publishes the Decree of the Cortei, of the 29th June, respecting the surveil lance which the Political Chief and the Provisional Deputstioo ought to exercise over the suspicions conduct of the Clergy of their provinces, and the removal from their functions of those priests who do not inspire the necessary confidence. A third circular prohibits the sale of gunpowder. and orders the inhabitants of the three provinces to deliver op as soon as possible and under severe pe nalties all fire-arms fit for service that they may have in their possession. The same journal mentions the hostile prepara tions making at Bayonne, and positively announces that the correspondence intercepted by the soldiers of Zabala has been sent to General Equia. It is the battalion of the active militia of Salamanca which has arrived at Sr. Sebastian ; the Governor of Burgos has retained the grenadier company of that corps to pursue the partisan Cabilla, whose band daily increases and intercepts the communications. The arrival of the French General Count d'Erlon at Barcelona is but too true ; it is posi tively affirmed that he has asked permission of the Spanish Government to raise a foreign corps, to be called Knights of Liberty, and that it was strongly believed he would obtain it. •MOTERDAII, SEPTEMBER 18. To-day at noon one of the most dreadful fires broke out here that has happened in this city for many years. The new Lutheran church, on the north-east side of the Singel, is burnt down, toge ther with some of the adjacent buildings. The church was observed to be oo fire about half-past one, and a little after two it was all in flames. The heat was so great, that all efforts to save the near est houses were necessarily renounced. It was felt at the distance of two streets nit the Torenslius, and opposite the church it wn insupportable, not withstanding the breadth of the Singel. The sight of the lofty capita in flames was dreadful but sub. lime. The copper which covered it, and which flew in large sheets through the air, coloured the flames with varying tints of blue and green, which were speedily mingled with the brighter flames of the ardent spirit, and the dark yellow smoke of the oil with which the adjacent warehouses were filled. It seems certain (at least this is the general supposi tion), that the fire commenced in the church itself, and not in one of the neighbouring warehouses; but with respect to the real cause of the mi►for tune, we have little more than conjectures. On account of the violence of the fire ■nd falling sparks, the vessels Dearest the Singel, over which a very strong easterly wind fortunately drove the thick smoke, had to remove to another place. It does not appear that any of them received much damage. The fine church thus destroyed, and of which little will remain but the wall round it, which is ten feet thick, was erected in the years 1678-1691, chiefly by voluntary donations. The fine dome was built on the model of that of St. Peter's at Rome, and, as well as a semicircular building ad joining, covered with pion of copper, which was brought from Sweden duty free, by permission of King Charles Xl. On the platform of the adjoin ing back building there was a large cistern of rein water, to be used in case of fire : we do not know whether it has been of any service on this occasion. Four o'Clock.—Four of the adjoining dwelling houses and magazines are burnt, and the fifth is in flames. AMSTERDAM, SEPTEMBER 19. The fire yesterday seems to have broken out in the loft where the plumbers had been at work, sod so rapidly spread, that the church was all in flames in half su hour, and soon communicated to the neighbouring houses and warehouses, some of which being full of spirits, wine, and other inflammable substances, added to the fury of the conflagration. The greatest praise is due to the firemen for their extraordinary exertions, and we are happy not to have heard of any accident of great consequence, only that one of the firemen received some severe bruises on the neck and hands, soother on the bands only. The whole inside of the church is destroyed, the walls only remaining. happily the books and papers were saved, as well as some valuable se. tides from the Consistorial Chamber. Six dwell. iog.housem mud 9 warehouses are entirely or nearly destroyed, some others are damaged, but not to any extent. A Berlia Paper, which is considered as hail official, positively contradicts the report of the search of au Austrian corps to reinforce the French cordon on the Pyreoees.—(Dtdch Papers, Sep tember 414 X ■ I —m..Ablom..•••l••• THE BRITISH PRESS.

We tinder stand his Excellency is anxious to reach the seat of his government previous to the meeting of the Legislative House of Assembly, as he has to pro pose (on the suggestion of Government) that the troops employed for the defence and preservation of the Island shall be in future paid out of its reve nue., and not by the Government. If this reason able proposition could be carried into effect in all our Colonies, the country would be relieved from a heavy burden at the present moment. Mr. Hume (we recollect) has promised to submit it to Perlis went early in the next Session. It is said that Vice.

It is believed that the Mar quis of HASTINGS is on his passage home, in the Glasgow frigate. It is amid there is a falling off in the prodoce of the Revenue or the present quarter, to the amount of 200,0001. This is not • greater diminution than might be expected from the late reduction of lazes. We have received the Paris Papers to the 20th inst. A report prevailed in the beginning of the week in that city, that forged bills of the Batik of France were in circulation. It appears to have made a considerable sensation, and excited serious apprehensions, as we find the Directors of the Bank found it necessary to give it a formal contradiction. The following are extracts : PARIS, SEPTEMBER 19. The King has issued an Ordinance, by which the Royal Polytechnic School is placed under the patronage of his Royal Highness the Duke of An gouleme, and under the control of the Secretary of State for the Interior. General the Count de Bor demult is appointed Governor, and Baron Rohault de Fleury Sub-Governor of the Polytechnic School. A report is current that the existence of secret associations in several Cantons of Switzerland, tin der various denominations, and particularly under that of 7he-Society of Regeneration, has attracted the attention of foreign Powers. Similar associa tions are said to have been organised upon the fron tiers of the Milanese. letters from Toulon, of September 13, state, that there was talk of the formation of a camp for le,ooo men, to extend from Bedart as far as St. Jean de Lux. A conspiracy was also said to have been dis covered, which had been framed by some French refugees in Spain, in conjunction with some of the Descamisados. The appeal of the six individnels condemned in the affair of Saumur has been laid before the Court of Cessation. Count Sebastiani sad Baron Pasquier are arrived at Geneva. An absurd report has prevailed for two days past that forged notes of the Bank of France were in circulation ; this statement was contradicted to-day by the Directors of the Bank, by whose orders bills of every description have been paid u usual.— ( Etoile of the itilth.) The Nuremberg Correspondent, in an article un der the head of Switzerland, says, the Priuce Royal of Sweden set out on the sth of September for Con stance, by Roschach.

The Duchess Hor tense de St. Leu, it wassaid, intended to give seve ral fetes to the last-mentioned distinguished persoca. FROM THE FRONTIERS OF SPAIN, ARM 11. Official intelligence has been this moment re ceived that the third battalion of the regiment Ma tsfloride, which forms the siege of Cardona, have captured the convoy of provisions and ammunition which the Constitotionelistadispatcbed from Barce lona for that place; which will soon fall into the hands of the Royalists. The guerillas of Zabel*, Oltenia, and T.ltrongi, are daily increasing; they hare about 1.200 men tinder their orders. A Provisional Junta has just been established at Guiptiscoa, on the plan of that of Navarre, and all the young men answer its appeal, and enrol themselves under the standard of the Faith. With the exception of Irun, Tolosa, gam, Mondragon, Durango, Bilbo•, and Vittoria, the Royalists are masters of all the country. It is affirmed that General Rippe, who is now at Tolosa, is about to assume • command in the Army of the Faith. Several other Generals of distinction are also destined to carry ou the military operations, which will riecestarily take place in the Biscuyan provinces. Charles O'Donnel, who is at ..11.11116 Bayonne, is one of those Generals. His two sons arrived on the Bth in the tamp of Irati. Letters are expected from Biscay; those who commend the royalist guerillas will endeavour to make themselves masters of all the roads, so that nothing should pass without inspection. Any matter relating solely to commerce shall meet with no impediment; the greatest vigilance, however, will be exercised fur the purpose of getting posses sion of funds coming from abroad, and arising from loans. A letter from Valladolid, of the 6th, states that the event• which are passing upon the left bank of the Ebro have • powerful influence upon the great majority of the people of the two Castile., who arc nut favourable to the new system. motalststo, SEPTUM& 12. Private letters from Vienna contain the follow. ing paragraphs :—lt is believed here that the @Mire of Turkey end Greece, as well as those of Spain, will form subjects of deliberation in Congrevv. With respect to the first, a Minister is said to have expressed himself in the following manner " Turkey is a vast mosses, which, being reclaimed, might yield a rich harvest; but if we contribute to do this, are we sure we shall ether the fruit ? It might happen that others would reap the advan tage. It is better then to leave the morass in its present condition." It is certain thst the Duke of Wellington can supply the Congress with valuable documents re latively to Spain, as his campaigns there have made him well acquainted with the country and its inha bitants. M. de Tatitscheff, the Russian Minister at Vienna, has also a perfect knowledge of Spain. It will be recollected that he resided at Madrid previous to the revolution, that is, until the year 180, and what influence he possessed with King Ferdinand. M. de Tatiischeff is acquainted with the secret springs, the views, and resources of the different parties, and the personal inclinations of the King and the Infants. The Paris Papers of Wednesday contain the official Bulletins promised by the Constitutiwonel, detailing the success of the Greeks' in driving the Turks out of the blorea. They are given in our preceding columns. Dutch and Bayonne Papers arrived yesterday, from which we have made entracte. A Flanders mail arrived at a late hour last ni g ht, with Papers of the gist. The following are ex tracts :.... BROSSELS, SEPTEMBER 19. Yesterday evening a BeitishCabinet messenger passed through this city; he came from London, and was going in all haste to Vienna, to carry thither the intelligence of the appointment of Mr. Canning to the office of Secretary for Foreign Affair', in the room of the late Marquis of Lon donderry. The Duke of Welliogton wished for this nomination to be made before he set out for Vienna. We imagine that his Grace left London about the 17th. The Committee appointed by his Majesty lost March, to consider of measures fo► the relief of agriculture, and of which Baron Roell is President, has terminated its lubours, and has just presented its report to the King. AIX-LA-CIIAPELLE, SEPTEMBER IL We received a letter from the southern fron tiers of Russia, which says, that the claims brought forward by the Ottoman Cabinet to the fortresses in Asia which are in the power of Russia, have greatly excited the attention of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. It should seem that General Jerrna luff who commands in Georgia, has received orders from the War Minister to detach same troops to reinforce the garrisons of the Russian fortresses in Circassia. It is added, that measures of precaution will al.ci be sdopted for the safety of the fortresses situated between the Euzine and the Caspian Seas, as well as of those in Russian Moldavia. NUREMBERG, SEPTEMBER 11. We learn from Vienna that the Aulic Council has just sent to the War Department an order to raise all the regiments of infantry in the Austrian army to their full complement. This measure most be carried into effect about the end of September, or at the beginning of October at the farthest. h is observed that the corps formed by the Lsndwehr are exempt from this measure; they are not to be embodied this year, as has long been usual in A ustria. COMA LI EV RN, the Ituasian Ambassador, left town on Saturday morning to join the Ellit MOIL at Verona. It is well kumeti that his Excellency, during the long discussions respecting Turkey, has acted a very prominent part. It is industriously rumoored that the office of Secretary at War will be abolished. Lord PAL- I!!! ?ASTON lv to resign upon a pension and a peerage. The pension, however, is but to equal one moiety of his present emoluments, the other moiety to be made up to his Lordship from another source.— (Evening Paper.) Saturday was a holiday kept both at the Boot and the Stock Exchange; the transactions in the funds were therefore codined to private bargains, of which very few were effected, and only one, we believe, of-any magnitude, which was in Consuls for to-morrow, at the price of 81. It is observed that the amount of capital applied to speculations in Foreign Stock, and which is thereby withdrawn from a similar employment in the English funds, is daily increasing, so much so, as to threaten a very serious diminution to the busi• uess of the Steck Exchange.
