i -~ NORTH AMERICAN PAPERS. [Ft.IBTHEB EXTRACTS.] QUEBEC, SEPT. 8.-The 6th hattalion:Of _Em bodied Militia, which has done arrion duty in this city since Match - , 18E3, _waS 'disbanded on SU - 11day moaning last. The battalion was inspected the preceding day by Gen. Glasgow. Of its military appearance „ and general good conduct it would be prcsunip- Nous in us to speak, after the unqualified appro bation of both the Commander in Chief and of Gen. Glasgow, •►ncter whose immediate command they have constantly served. The privates of the battalion in particular, de serve the thanks of their fellow-citizens for tl►e readiness with which they submitted, as was the - . case in many instances, to the sacrifice of from five to ten shillings a day, for the pay, allow ances, and discipline of a soldier ; aud for their remarkable quietness and good behaviour while they bore arms, though lodging dispersed In every %quarter of the city and suburbs. The manner in which thenimparted with their officers, does honour to both. Col. Ti:An and Major itfure were embarked in a carriage and conducted through the principal streets of the town to' their respeclive quarters, aluidst the cheers of the whole battalion. The pro Cession 'was joined after some time by the band of the Royals, and the adjutant was also embark.ed in the carriage. We are sorry to state, that considerable •injury has been done in the vicinity of this city by frosts. About twelve days since, a slight frost was expe rienced in several low situations; and on Monday and Tuesday morning last, the frost was so severe as to destroy nearly alb the tobacco, melon and cucumber plants, as also the potatoc stalks. Late oats and peas have also been injured. Few of the inhabitants recollect a similar degree of frost so early in the season. It was preceded in this instance, by some very warm days; succeeded by showers and thunder. The panic of the Americans may krell he esti mated from the following extracts. Your Fear is a grand magnifier of objects, and multiplies an army much faster than any recruiting system ever invented ! ! " NEW-YORK, Au4,-27 "The following summary of the News by till:. Expedition Stage was published last Evening iu a Commercial Advi'rtiscr Extra.. " Friday, ~lug. 26 Seven o' Clack, p.m, " DISASTHo(rs txTrLitnEscE.- " The Expedition Stage from Philadelphia brings the fol lmin melancholy tidings: At 1 o'clock, p. m. - on Wednes day last, .the British troops, consisting of 9000 Infantry, nn der the command of General; ;toss and Piston, and 4000 Ar tillery, under Lord Hill, in person, entered Bladenthurgh, and commenced a battle which continued four hour;, when our army fell back, - and retreated to Washington. General Stanshury, it is said, was killed : Ma"or Sterrett, wounded; Major Pinckney, mortally wounded and tal(en prisoner; and the sth Baltimore regiment, composed of fine young men, al moit entirely destroyed. " The Capitol, the Navy Y.lrd, the President's House, with .all the °the Public Buildings in the City of Washington, are destroyed, . " Yes, Fellow-Citizens, we have to record the humiliatio , „ disgraceful fact, that, in the third year of the War, the City of Washington, the seat of our GoYeriuent, situated three hundred miles from the ocean, and in the very heart of this great and extensive country, has been captured, and its pub iic buildings destroyed, by the paltry finer.. of 5000 hten ! But we forbear. We will suppress the lauguage of crimina , lion ." " By the last accounts, Ross, with his .5000 troops, were still in the city; and Lord Hill was at Illadensburgh with the main army of Imo° men. All, is now consttrultion here— every body moving that can get ofr under t h e full expectation that the enemy will be 'here by to-morrow night; although we have no certainty of their having- taken up the line of march yet. There is no effective force here to prevent them from destroying this town in a few h rs.—Baltimore,...lng. COTTON TRADE. The Decree of the King of Spain, prohibiting the importation of Cottons into that country, and subjecting to particular restrictions the stock of that commodity in the hands of the dealers and merchants, gave occasion to the following application : " Cadiz, Sept. 13, 1814. TO HIS EXCELLENCY SIR H. WELLESLEY, K. B. Nis Majesty's Ambassador Extraordinary, and Minister Plenipotentiary at Madrid. - Ir "The British Merchants composing the Factory of Cadiz, who, in the month of July last had the honour of presenting to your Excellency a memorial; prayin; your Excellency's in fluence. in support of the representation made by the Spanish. Merchants, relative to the renewal of the permission for the exportation of British manufactured cotton goods to the Spa nish Colonies, again beg leave to call your Excellencies atten tion to this subject,. upon the result of which depends the greater part of their property. , " Animated.btthe expression communicated to us by our respected Consul, that your Excellency deeply felt the im portance of this measure, we patiently waited the result of your Excellency's influence, notwithstanding so long a period had elapsed without any answer vouchsafed from the Spanish Minister. " Our surprise and alarm at the present moment will not appear to your Excellency extraordinary, lilpon perusing the copy of -a Decree which has been presented to us as proceeding from antherity, and which we take the liberty of subjoining. " It is almost unnecessary to state to your Excellency, that this unlooked-fOr blow must be severely felt in England, - as it excludes this branch of niannfactures (cotton) from Spain and the Colonies; but it remains for us to make known to your Excellency how much more it affects those -whom the faith of Treaties has induced to hazard their properties in this country. " A Decree so conclusive. in its 'effects naturally prevents the Spanish merchant from employing his funds in articles which, at a stated period, must he given up to the monopoly authorized by the Spanish Government, upon any terms the agents Of the latter choose to dictate. ".I,Ye•bave actually paid to the Spanish Governtnent; as stated tO your Excellency in our former application, the enor mous duties on the goods on baud, persuaded that no re stsictou would, under any circumstances, attach to the goods Otis legally iichnitted; " The favourable footing upon which the manufactures of France hare Iken placed by a recent Treaty between the two Governments, gave us greater reason to be firm in this vr inion. Jf our cotton manufactures are not allowed to be ex ported to South Anuriea, and we arc prevented from dis posing of them in the Peninsula, it, is obvious that the per mission to send than nut of the country ie nugatory, loaded as they are with duties and other charges. tlns unforeseen state of, circumstances we rely upon roar exertion and influence to piocure for us a further extension of the period allotted for the - dispos a l o f our goodsi and a re newal of the p erul ksion to export to the Colonies by the tzpa nish merchants during the limited term e4ressed in the Decree. 6 , We further bi.g to call your. Excellency attention to the hostility of . 60 preseut Decree, as it affects the British mann ficturing interest, confiding, that in any arrangements h e _ tween the •two countries, your Excellency will give to thii branch of our national prosperity the consideration so im portant Si object demands. "We ba t e the honour to be, &c." ritEcti PAPERS. VIENNA, S - Err. Royal Ilightiesse3 the Archdt(kes yesterday . paid a Visit to the Em peror of Russia and King of Prussia.

Letters from Constantinople inform us, that there were rejoicings in that xity on the 24th Aug. on account of the birth of another . son of the Grand Seignior.

General Theilinan with pleasure transmitted the Address to Gen. Kleist.— The following is the Address of the Officers of Artillery " To Lieut.-Ccloael Raahc, ‘_`' For sonic t ime, disastrous reports hare been in circulation respecting the future fate of our King. We everywhere hear teat we'shall lose our Father and our King. This news gives us the more concern, because it is added, that . the Allied Powers hate considered the conduct of the Saxon army at Leipsic as a proof of its abandonment of the King. Your Excellency knows our'senti ments you know that we only took that step to secure our King and our country, and, in concert with the other Powers, to throw off the yoke of the common enemy. We therefora entreat your Excellency to communiate our sentiments to the Allied Powers, that in common, with all ,other true Saxons, we can know no greater happiness than that of seeing again Legitimate King Fre derick Augustiis, to whom we have sworn fide lity till death." This Address was accompanied by the following writing " The Petition of all the Officers of the Saxon Artillery expresses the sentiments which animate me, and I add my name; beingentirely devoted to my August Sovereign, Frederick Augustus.

The Eugiish who are at Paris appear very dis contented with our caricatures, but very con tented with our restaurateurs. A correspondent of Mons. Karskone, Captain of the brig Meduse„has received a letter, stating that they are sending towards this Capital a mer man (honinke aquatique) of human structure, articu lating unintelligibly. In the letter.it is said, "that immediately • the naturalists of Europe, and the 'learned of Vrance, will have the greatest pleasure in viewing this singular phenomenon of nature." On the 27th of September, the Princess of WALES arrived at Geneva. A Deputation of Council have been nominated to compliment this rrincess, and to offer her a guard of honour. — Her Royal Highness thanked the Council, and answered them, that, wishing to remain incog nito, and proposing to depart to continue her journey, -she wished to decline public honours. The Princess actually set out from Geneva on the 29th, and arrived' the same day iat six o'clock in the evening at Lausanne.. The next morning she went to embark at Ouchy, kith part of her suite, to traverse the Lake, in or der to visit the environs of Melleyril. She is guide to Vevey, where her equipages are in at tendance, and sets out.. afterwards . for Italy by the Simplon. • Part of the family of Lord .

There is selling by De!annay, Librarian of the Palais Royal, a pamphlet, intituled " Protestation of the Parliament of. Paris against its Suppression. We arc authorised to affirm, that this protestation is, altogether false. The author, in composing this, wicked libel, has had no other object but to inculpate the Princes of the Blood, the Dukes called to the Peerage by their birth, and to deal out gross invectives against what remains of the Magistrates of the ancient Parliament of Paris. ST. JEAN DE L 132, OCT. 1.-News, which we site far from regarding as official, state, that the two Minas, Uncle and Nephew, have formed the project to kindle a civil war; that they had en tertained the intention of snrprising Pampeluna ; but:their Officers and soldiers, 'informed of their designs, have remained faithful to their Sove reign, and wished to. seize their Chiefs, who are indebted for their safety to the swiftness of their horses. It is added, that one of the Minas had been a short time afterwards surprised and arrest ed, and that all the bells were ringing to cele brate this capture. -We believe it is prudent not to put confidence in the news of some Travellers--they are often ill-informed, and report nothing but unfoundeg popular rumours. HAGUE, SE?T. 30.—1 t is said, that the expedi tion destined to take possession of Java will sail in the course of this year, under the order of Rear-Admiral Buiskens. We are also assured, that his Excellency the Baron de Capellen, Se cretary of State for Commerce and Colonies, has been appointed Governor.:General of that Colony.

Count d'Agliano is charged to take possessori' of the country in the name of his Sardinian Majesty, and the functions of the Central Commission are to cease on his arrival on the 26th at Bonneville. PARIS, OCT. 6.—The German Journals are far from / speaking of the- situation of France in the same kvay with the English. The Gazette of Berlin, in giving au account of the distribution of the co lours among the National Giiards, takes pleasure in repeating these words of the King : " Let the enemy come when he may-,-but he trill not conic, for we have now none but friends'aronnd ns."— The Gazette of Vienna observes truly, that the discourse delivered to the chamber of Peers by Prince TalleyraMl, gives an'advatitageous idea of the state of our finances,- and that it has made a very favourable impression. -We have some reason to think,• that the English Journalists take their fancies for realities. The King of Bavaria has renemed all the edicts against secret societies, whose views are unknown to the GovernMent. These measures do not apply to Freemasonry.
