PA RIS PAPERS. [From I7tc Moniteur of Sunday, N0v.7.1 The Official Pare contains-1. An Ordinance of which the following is the substance : The benefits which Divine Providence has showered down on us and our arms, during the glorious campaign which our beloved nephew, the Duke of Angouleme, has just terminated, 'have made U .S resolve to show indulgence to those soldiers of our armies who have deviated from their duties, and by this means to make their families take part in the public joy. In consequence, on the report of our Secretary of State, Minister of War, and with the advice of our Council of Mate, we have ordained and ordain as follows : :Here follows the ordinance, in nine articles, giving a free pardon and full and en►ire amnesty to sill subalterns and soldiers of the land forces, and all young soldiers bound to serve, who, at the moment of the publication of this ordinance, are in a state of desertion, either by having aban doned the corps to which they belonged, or by not having joined those for which they were des- tined.] 2. An ordinance relative to the distribution of certain ►econ►pences to the military, according to the budget of 1813, which orders that the amount of the expired annuites paid to officers and soldiers of the Royal armies of the west shall ho employed in new favours of the same nature. COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE. [From the. Beirbadocs BRIDGE-TOWN, SErr. 25. The House of Assembly met on Tuesday last, pursuant to adjournment. The first business which occupied their attention was the appoint. went of an Agent to represent the Island in Great Britain. John Pollard Mayers and George Carrington, Esqrs., were severally proposed for the situation. The House divided, when a ma jority of votes appeared in favour of Mr. Cure eingten. An Address passed the House, and was sent np to his Ex. eelleney in reply to his speech on the opening of the session. A communication from Earl Bathurst, sent down to the House by his. Excellency the Governor, on the muhject of ame liorating the condition of the slave population of the island. was read, and a respectful address sent up to his Excellency, stating that a Bill was introduced and in great progress in the late Douse, at the time of the prorogation, for the revision and consolidation of the Slave Code, in which great amelioration was proposed in the condition of the slaves, and that it would speedily be brought before the House, when the 'impositions of his Lordships will be duly considered in their deliberations, and such measures pursued as local circumstances, the safety of the inhabitants, the interests of their property, and the welfare of the slaves themselves, will admit ; and that the House will be happy, from time to time, to receive from his Excellency, throujh their Speaker, any further communica tions on the subject. After some other business was trans- , acted, the House, at a quarter-past five o'clock, udjourned to 'Alec day four weeks. At the General Meeting of persons concerned in the govern ment of slaves, which was held at the Central School on the 15th inst., the following Report and Resolutions, prepared by the Committee of Planters and Clergymen appointed at the former Meeting, were read : RE o n T. The Committee appointed to consider of the best • means of providing religious instruction for the slavopopula tien of this island, have applied their minds to the subject with a sincere desire to consult the interests and feel i ng a of all parties and to devise sortie plan practicable in itself, and which muy effect the object in view, without any material interference with - the necessary labours of the field. In the course of their in quiries they have been led into a wider range of reflection than they at first calculated on, and have directed their attention to two leading objects— let, The leisure time which may be conveniently afforded to the slaves. 2d, To the heat mode of employing that time for their in struction. The slaves of this island have arrived at such a degree of ci vilization, from the increasing efibrts of the planters to amelio• rate their condition, manifested by an increased allowance of food, by an encouragement of domestic and industrious habits, by the frequent grant of the whole or the half of a day in the week, and by the general substitution of confinement for corpo ral punishment, that the Committee look with confidence to the success of any rational attempt at dispelling their spiritual darkness. The objectionable habit of Sunday marketing, and its hosti lity to every effort at religious instruction ; the necessity of sub stituting some other time for this purpose, and the difficulty of reconcilingehe just interests of the proprietor with the loss of a whole day in every week for the purpose of giving the slaves en ,opportunity of bartering their little commodities, and supplying their occasional wants, are subjects which have unavoidably food themselves into the consideration of the Committee. The Committee, however, are by no means prepared to recommend the substitution of another day in the week for the whole po pulation, for the sake either at rest or of cultivating their gar denal because the Committee are decidedly of opinion that in no case is it necessary, and in most instances would be extremely injurious to the slaves themselves. It is scarcely necessary for the committee to remark (at any lereoh) on the abundant time which is already allowed to s!aves of every description, for the purpose of rest. No slave is taken to work before the perfect tope:trance of day ; at breekfast time, half an hour is alloweA ; and at noon, one hour and a Ralf at least ; besides which a whelesome meal hi alway pro. vide(' and ready when the slave conies from the field; so taut, after partaking of the meal thus prepared, the remainder of the time (exceeding one hour) is passed in sleep, or in pursuits im medietely aWeeting his personal and domestic comfort& It is undeniable also, that at least one-third of the week is already devoted to the raising of food for the slave alone; if, then, another day in each week be taken from the master for the in dulgence of the slave, either the interests of the master must wanly suffer, the slave to be overworked during five days, to cempeneate for the loss of the sixtb, or less food will be reiied, and diminished rations he distributed. It is useless to say that the additienal day will be any compensation to the slave for a reduction of supply from the toaster; in idleness. or vice three teurtlis of the day will be spent ; and religious instruction, the card el in view, will, be proportionably obstructed. But, admitting that the day was applied to the cultivation of his garden, yet the: insufficient quantity of land which can be spired to each allotment, and the unproductive nature of' the compared with that of the neighbouring Colonies, wield renier it impossible •for him to support existence: adtl to all tine the improvidence of his habits, and any attempt at indue ino, him to raise asufficient euantity of food for himself will be found visionary and destructive, Although, therefore, any additional time is unnecessary, either for rest or for the cultivation of fbod, yet sonic time is indispensable to enable the slaves to carry the produce of their gardens and their stock to merket. Not to de this, would be impolitic and unjust; it would be to deprive the slave of all mesna of exchanging the articles of which he has a superfluity, f r others necessary to his own comfort, or to the. comfort of his fa mily ; it would be to deprive him of all inducements to economy and industry ; he will be reduced to a state of total dependence on plantation allowances, and he will immediately retrograde in his moral anti social condition. To obviate, therefore, the disgraceful practice of Sunday marketing, and to enable the slaves to devote that day to refl.. giooeinstruction and to the purposes for which it was originally designed, the committee suggests, that the adults on each pro. perry he divided in families into three or four classes, end that each class be allowed a day in every week to dispose of in a way mast desirable to themselves. By this plan, the cultivation of the master's property will not be greatly impeded ; each slave will have an opportunity, once in three or four weeks (*owe member in each family once in every week), of bartering his commodities, or pursuing any other object of business or of plea sure. But the abolition of the Sunday market, with all the re gulations necessarily attached to such a measure, must be left ~. to the wisdom of the Legislature. . , , Resolutions.—l. That an Association be formed for the put.. pose of affording Religious Instruction to the SlaveTopula- Lion. 2. '."hat regulations for carrying this object into effect be drawn up, and signed by each member of the association, as a pledge of his observing the same, and causing them to be ob served by all under his influence and authority.. 3. That the ordinary routine of instruction oy catechists, or subordinate instructors, be on Sunday. 4. That all the younger population be compelled to attend religious instruction on Sunday ; and that all instruction be strictly oral—to commence with prayers and a lecture ; to which may be added any other mode of religious instruction that the Clergy may recommend ; and that the adult popula tion be invited and encouraged to attend. 5. That it be strongly recommended to the proprietors of estates, or their representatives, to provide such instructors or catechists as shall be approved of by the Rector (or the officiat ing, Minister) of the parish, for their moral character, and who shall be well qualified to instruct, the slaves in their religious duties. - We have also been favoured with the following Address, delivered by Mr. Barrow, and with the reply of Mr. Ilamden : " Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,—Previous to the dissolution of this meeting I must solicit your attention for a moment. The difficulty which always presents itself to me' in addressing an audience, anti the few words that are requisite on this occasion to explain my wishes, preclude either the desire or necessity of trespassing long on your patience. After the discussion which has ,just taken place, and which has for its object the eternal welfare of our slaves, I think we may be permitted to turn our thoughts for an instant to our temporal concerns. There is not a person who hears me, 1 venture to say, who does not look with a fearful eye at the cloud which has been long suspended over our ill-fated colony. The Calumnies which are daily and hourly circulated in the mother country to our prejudice, and which have had so powerful an eKct (it would appear) as to call forth those ill-advised instructions to our Legislature from the Right Hon. Secretary for the Colonies conspire to render our situation one of apprehension and dismay. But, Mr. Chairman, I am one of (perhaps) a few, who can never consider our cause as hopeless, as long as we have men amongst us, who have not only the courage, but the ability, to step forward, and manfully assert our rights and privileges. Most of you, gentlemen, no doubt, have perused the speech which ha s been so eloquently delivered before the Legislative Council. Will it not flash conviction to every unprejudiced mind ? may be sanguine, Mr. Chairman, but a gleam of hope breaks in upon me ; and I think I see, in this argumentative and phylosophical address, the fostering hand that may shelter us from the pitiless storm. Mr. Chairman, I feel an honest pride in calling . that man my countryman, whose talents have been so conspicuously exercised in our behalf ; and whose character, for honour and integrity, cannot be surpassed.— These last qualifications, gentlemen, will, I trust, give due weight to his arguments. Any attempt to eulogize my Hon. Friend, Mr. Hamden, would be presumptuous, even if I had the ability (which I have not) to do justice to him. His enco miums will be found in the hearts of all present : to these I shall refer you, gentlemen; and therefore, Mr. Chairman, I shall conclude with moving, ' the thanks of this Meeting be presented to Mr. Hamden, for the spirited, judicious, and honourable stand he has made in defence of our liberties, our lives, and our properties.'" Mr. F. Clarke begged to have the honour of seconding Mr. Barrow's vote of thanks, as he considered it to be only a just tribute to the merits of Mr. Hamden, whose zealous exertions to promote the interests of the community had been cowl moue upon all occasions, and demanded a public acknow ledgment. Mr. Hamden then said—" Gentlemen—l am so much over. powered by the kindness of my friend (Mr. Barrow), and by the flattering concurrence in his sentiments which has been ma nifested by this respectable Meeting, that I must myself quite unequal to the task of giving an adequate expression to the feelings which at this moment occupy my mind. I am not conscious of deserving this distinction ; but I will not be so uncandid as not to confess that it is very gratifying to me to find that my humble exertions in the service of the country are so highly appreciated by gentlemen so well qualified to estimate them." ESSEX WINTER ASSIZES. CHELMSFORD, Dac. 0. The Commissions of Oyer and Terminer and General Gaol Delivery for the County of Essex were opened • here to-day, by the Honourable Mr. Justice PAttK and the Honourable Mr. Justice 1101.11,0 TD. In the afternoon the Learned Judges attended Divine Service, after which they returned to the County Hull, to swear in the Grand Jury.— Mr. Justice PAux delivered a short charge to the Jury, calling their attention to the most prominent cases in the calen dar. We lament to state that the offences in point of number are very serious. Few, we understand, are marked with fea tures of great enormity, although many in point of law are capi tal felontes. The following is an abstract of the Calendar : Child Murder, 1; Manslaughter, 2; Highway Robbery, 4; Burglary, 10; Housebreaking, 4 ; Sending Threatening Let ten, 2 ; Stealing in the Dwelling, 2; Sacrilege, 1 ; Horse stealing, ; Sheep-stealing, 4 ; Stealing from the Person, 2; Larceny, 49; Misdemeanour, 6—Total, 91. The Court adjourned until ten o'clock to-morrow morning for the dispatch of business. Tu EsuAY, Four o'Clook.—Edward Burgess was indicted for stealing, at Southweald, on the 26th July, a gold watch, gold seals, and other articles to the value of more than 401. the pro perty of Dr. Richardson, in his dwelling-house. It appeared in evidence that in July last, a fire having happened in the house of Dr. Richardson, at Brentwood, a plumber was employed to repair the roof. The prisoner was one of the plumber's journeymen, and was employed in heating the irons. This gave him an opportunity of having access to the diffirent apart mons in the house. On the 26 th of July the prisoner left off work at an unusually early hour, and soon after he was gone the property above mentioned was missing. Suspicion filling on him he was pursued to Rumford, where it was found that he had pawned. the greatest part of the property missing for less than one-third its value. The prisoner was soon after wards apprehended, and the remainder of the articles found on his person. The prisoner said nothing in his defence. He was found guilty, and sentence of death recorded. CAPT A I N PAHA DOGC—Another of the dogs which were brought to this country by Capt. PAItItY, passed through Birmingham, on Satur day last, on its way to Lieut. PALMER, of Coles hill, who accompanied Captain P. on his late northern voyage. its colour is black, except the hair upon the belly and on part of the face, which is white ; the tail is of great length, and resembles a magnificent fox's brush wore than any thing else. The bark is tremendous. We understand that the carrier was obliged to pour cold water over it almost constantly, and even then it seemed to breathe with excessive heat.— Its tameness is remarkable ; a child might have led it. U I unr.,—On Sunday evening, about eight o'clock, tbe body of a young man, of the name of Timothy M'Cue, was found hanging in a privy at the back of the house immediately Opposite tho Two Brewers public-house, Bethnal-green. it was stated to our informant, that the deceased was a weaver, about 30 years of age, the son of respectable parents residing in Three Colt-lane, and had for the last 15 months paid honourable addresses to a female, the daughter of a patten maker, about 17 years of age.T he fattier and family of the young woman considering the great dispa rity of years between them, encouraged the pre tensions of another : this seemed to have preyed on the mind of the deceased; he visited a friend on Sunday two or three times, and about half-past five o'clock he called and drank tea ; his conver sation was incoherent, and his conduct extrava gant. Ile often burst into tears. About seven o'clock he requested his frieod to bring hint two pennyworth of tobacco, which not being complied with, he went himself, and in place of going for tobacco, he went to a shop where he bought a two-penny bed cord, with which be committed the rash act. The parish officers conveyed the body in a shell to Spitalfields climb, where it lies to wait the decision of the Coroner's Inquest. In a preceding column we have given an extract from the Monileur of Sunday, relative to certain military Ordinances of an unimportant nature issued by the French Government. The subjoined extract from the Madrid Restaurador, as quoted by the Eloila of Monday, seems to give an official confirmation to the rumour that FERDI NAND intends to distinguish the birth-day of his Queen by an act of grace in favour of certain classes of the Constitutionalists, who are at pre sent subject to the penalties of his proscriptive decrees. Thu articles from Bayonne, which we alto subjoin, corroborate the opinions which wo have from time to time expressed as to the un settled state of Spain, and the extreme preca riemsness of the tenure by which FERDINAND holds his restored authority. PARIS, Dec. Resiaurador of the lit December, received by express, contains the series of the decrees of the King of Spain since the lit of October. It is for the Queen's birth-day that the great act is announced, which is to grant an amnesty for every thing which, in a fatal revolu tion, has been th., effect of weakness, infatuation, error, or seduction—every thing that a real re pentance could palliate. It is not true that General Dessieres has been exiled from Madrid on the Constitutional affairs. The news of the disgrace of the Duke del faun - tad° is equally false ; he is constantly occupied In organizing the Royal Guard, and his services are very agreeable to his Majesty. BAYONNE, Nov. 9.9.—1 t appears to be posi tively decided that we are to have a corps of observation on the frontiers, which probably will not be below twelve thousand men, to judge by the corps and the materiel which is to form part of it, and which is collecting in our city. It should seem that some apprehensions are enter tained respecting the permanency of tranquillity in the Peninsula, and that it is intended to b• ready at all events to return in force into Spain tho moment that it may be necessary, and which all persons whom we have seen returning from that unfortunate country declare cannot be long delayed, unless the King should be induced to change his system. The number of the discon tented increases in an alarming manner; and though hitherto only isolated individuals have opposed in arms the orders of the Government, it is to be feared that they may unite and raise the standard of revolt, and the King's Govern ment is at this time hardly strong enough to put them down. Its only resource is the auxiliary Army of Occupation, which, however, will not willingly act as gendarmerie. Such will be the consequences of withholding a Constitu tion. The ordinary courier has brought no let ters ; our correspondents prefer the army courier, partly because they can send later news, and partly because he has an escort, which is indis pensable, as travelling is now so dangerous. Nov. 30.—We have received nothing by the artily courier. There is a report that many lot. tars have been stopped, to prevent as much as possible the circulation of disagreeable accounts from Spain. The bands are in such force in the road to Madrid that General Guillerninot, who has been expected every moment, has been obliged to delarhis journey, otherwise he would be already here. The number of Members o f the Municipality of Madrid and others, who have been arrested, is said to be 58. They Were to be sent to the galleys at Ceuta. M. Betbedere, the 31illionaire, Mayor of this city, is dead. The courier who arrived yesterday came in a carriage, having been cruelly beaten by a party of Patriots. EXPRESS 411011VARIS. At a late hour this forenoon\ve have received by Express the _Mode of yesterday, and the Conslilationnel and Journal des Debats of Mon day. The following are Extracts : (From the Etoik of Yesterday.) FRANCE. BAYoNNE.—The corps of reserve of Bayonne will not be more than twelve thousand men. About 58 persons, Members of the Constitutional Municipality, and the Revolutionary Authorities, have been sent to Ceuta. His Majesty heard mass in his apartments yes- terday. Prince Carignan dined with the King. MADRID, DEC. 2.—( Extraor dinar,y Courier.) —His Majesty presided at a Council of Ministers, which lasted two hours. The English have caused to leave Gibraltar all the Constitutional refugees. We continue to disarm all the regiments of Volunteer Militia. Lieutenant-General Count Bourck and the Major-General Quinsennas are arrived at Paris. [From the Journal de France of Monday.] They write from Bayonne, 2d December, that two vessels have arrived from Cadiz and one from Commie, having on board a number of Spa niards, who are come to take refuge in France. [From the Journal dst Debate of Monday.] They write from Vienna that the negociation which has taken place for some time past by Mr. Irving, to regulate definitively the debt of Austria to England, has at length terminated, and cannot fail to be of great advantage to the public funds of that power. (From the Conetitutionnel.) They write from Frankfort, that the Loan of Guebhard meets with the same success there as it had on the Exchanges of London and Paris. An the efforts which the agents of that House have made, could not negociuto a single bond. CITY, Mike o'clock.—Consols opened this morning at 831, and got up to 4 f with a great deal of business doing for the Account. The Expresses from Paris bring the French Rentes after 'Change at 91f. 30c. Spanish 28 to 29. A report prevailed that Mr.PAntsu had returned to Paris from Madrid, which we are informed is cor rect, and we understand that he has obtained some favourable promises from the Spanish Ministry, relative to the Spanish Bonds, which will be soon taken into consideration, and a favourable result may still be expected. FOREIGN MARKET.—Spanish 13onds opened at eamt, at which price they remain up to this hour. New York Papers arrived this morning to the 17th November. Prrons a Philadelphia Paper of the 12th Nov.) LATEST FROM THE BRAZILS. " RIO JANEIRO, SEPT. 6.—The only occurrence in politics of any interest is the Report of a Con stitution by the Committee of the Cortes, to whom that interesting subject was referred ; and the arrival of an agent from the King of Portugal, with dispatches for his Royal Highness. How ever, the Government has decided on not hold ing any communication with the King of Portu gal, as he is not prepared to recognize the lode. pendence of the Brazils and the title of the Emperor. The dispatch vessel is allowed to take in refreshments and depart." FRENcis SPOLIATIONL—We have been cre dibly informed that the al:dm to indemnity for the spoliations committed by the French, which were given up to that Power by the United States for a valuable consideration, in the Con vention of 1800, are about to be urged against this Government at the ensuing Session of Con gress, under a course of proceeding that promises relief to the long-suffering claimants. [Front the Commercial ditivet tiacr, N0v.12.] The Lima Gaulle of the 19th July says," No sight could have been more gratifying than Lima presented, when the people were assured of the evacuation of the country by the Spaniards.— Crowds of people were seen in the streets, which for some time before had been solitary. Shouts of joy resounded in a city in which a little time pre viously despair had sat in gloomy silence. When the Municipal Authorities and the principal persons assembled with a► view to establish mea sures for the safety of the place, the General Don Thomas Guido, escorted by a company of riflemen, repaired to the Town-hall, and stated, that his Excellency the General-in -Chief had sent him to take charge of the city and its Go vernment. The intimation was received with loud applause." OFFICIAL ADVICE. Arrived at Callao, on the 16th July, a vessel direct from Chili, with official accounts, stating that the Milian expedition, raised by order of the Chiliar, Republic, destined for the succour of Peru, had been augmented by a generous exertion of that Government to 4,500 men, who were about to be embarked at Valparaiso on the following day., Anchored in the same port, a Chillan vessel of Ivor, confirming the above intelligence, w►th orders to convoy the troops to that Republic. The troops are under the orders of General Pinto, and are to join the expedition at the point fixed upon by the Go" vernment of Peru. UNITED STATES AND COLOMBIA. — Th e 61111 ' joined paragraph we copy from the Jamaica Pub lic Advertiser, with much satisfaction " The United States appear to be striving to obtain a union between themselves and the Re' publics of South America. The prejudice-in favour of the United States is strong in Colombia. The delicacy of the British Government towards Spain, by inducing them to withhold the reeer cation of Colombian independence, will be t he means of strengthening the power of the 0 41 Government of North America, by a close tali° with the sister continent." We have reeeivedLinza Gazettes of the be . ' ginning of August last; consequently not of so late a deo Its the letters inserted in our Paper of yesterday, which reached W the 22d of that month. They confirm, however, the intelligence communicated by the private correspondence, and contain sone official articles, which throw further light on the situation cf that part of America. The officer who entered Lima, on ru evacuation by the Spaniards, was Dore To 'gas Gum°, Gen e ; ral of Brigade. He was accompan i e d b y a R ifl c . co mPonr the Patriot army, and experienced a most cordial reception , bath from the Magistrates and thewholeof the inhabitants. 'rho pub" lie satisfaction was manifested by the ringing of bells, and other demonstrations of popular rejoicing. On the same day that the Spaniards abandoned Lima (July 19),a vessel arrived at Callao, from Chile, with officers who brought information that the expedition prepared in that Republic to assist in the deliver' , ance of Peru, had been augmented to the number of 4, 10 men, and were on the point of sailing from Valpane:, On the following day the Independencia, national corvette' Chile, arrived at Callao, with orders to convoy the CP° troops, commanded by General PINTO, to the point canter ° with the Government of Peru, for their junction with the el . pedition from Valparayso. On the 19th of June the Congrie of Peru, assembled at Callao, decreed the removal of the 04/ ', vernment to Truxillo ; and, on the 22d, a decree Val TUISe 4 declaring that the functions of Don JOST: DE LA Aouruo, as President of the Republic, had ceased. On 11 7 23d, by another decree, passports were ordered to be given la Don Jon nu LA RIVA-AGUETIO, to enable him to leave the territory of the Republic, and retire to a point t° b e dete we mined on by the supreme military authority. duce ti measures, adopted in the then critical situation of the Revue lie, the Congress appointed Don JOIE ANTONIO SCOllr, General of the united army, Supreme Military ChleCi l ‘ ttt ‘ t , l 2 the political authority of the Executive to provinces mow -- directly or indirectly the theatre of military operation. departments of the north being afterwards (on the 18th of July) called upon to supply resources for the war, the political thority was completely superseded, and the whole power WA/ vested in the Grand Marshal Don Jost BEiOion° TAG".
