FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, Nov. 2G.—By our private correspond - ence we have received positive intelligence that England has definitively concluded a treaty of commerce with Spain, and that a courier has been dispatched to the Duke of Wellington, with instructions to announce officially to the Congress this event, which may have a great influence on the deliberatiOns, and on the period of the resi dence of the Monarchs assembled at Verona.— .(Pitotc.) • It was yesterday announced as a positive fact, that very active negociations were going on be tween the English• and Spanish Governments for -•a new treaty of commerce, according to which, 'English manufacturers will obtain, in importa lion, a considerable preference.over those of other nations. If this news should unfortunately prove true, our trade will owe the serious injury it must experience to the absurd and anti-national fury of the fanatical party. But what signifies our Commerce or our manufactures ? The cause at the Inquisition and absolute power in Spain is, in its opinion, far more important to the prosperity of France.---(Constitutionnel.) ' An evening paper announces as positive news, ,that England has definitively concluded a treaty .0f commerce with Spain, and a courier had been sent to the Duke of Wellington, with instructions to announce it officially to the Congress.— (Journal de Paris.) It has been reported on 'Change that the treaty of commerce between Spain and England is rati fied. We believe that this report is at least pre inature.—(Jotirnid des Damds.) A brig called the Durance has brought ac . counts from the Brazils, of the 25th September, that the Prince Royal has decidedly taken the title of Constitutional Emperor, and the Procla mation is to be issued on the 12th of October, the day of his birth. The day before yesterday an extraordinary courier was dispatched by the Minister of Fo reign Affairs to Madrid; and this evening one was sent off for Verona. " TO THE EDITOR. 01' THE MONITEUR. " I beg of you to insert in your journal the note which I have the honour to address to you underneath, and to accept in anticipation my thanks :—; " I learn that there have just been published two volumes. under the title of L'Echo de Sainte Helene, the author of which, it appears, has appealed to my testimony. I conceive that I owe it to the memory of Napoleon, to France, and, I _ may venture to say, to Europe, to declare that I am altogether a stranger to the publication of this work, and that I did not 'hear the cOnVersations which the person, whose name the two volumes bear, states he had with therillustrious prisoner of St. Helena. " LE COMTE BERTRAND. " Paris, Nov. 24." There was a slight rise on 'Change yesterday. ,The reports of the almost total destruction of the Army of the Faith, and of letters from Verona, the contents of which were said to leave no doubt .as to the pacific issue of the Congress, contributed to keep tip the funds. The probabilities for or against peace form now the_sole barometer of the money market.—(Courier Francais.) Extract of a Private Letter from ,Verona, Nov. 15.—" Several couriers arrived here yesterday from Vienna. and St. Petersburgh, and it is as .serted their dispatches are of the utmost impor tance concerning Turkey and the Greeks. The Ministers'of the different Powers assembled this morning at the Minister of Foreign Affairs' of Austria; Prince Metternich, and Lord Welling ton, assisted at the conference. It is said his qrace is on the eve of his departure for London, by which it 6 concluded that the Congress is on the eve of breaking up, and the result 'will soon be published. For several days past various re ports have been in circulation ; some of them are warlike, and others peaceable. It is also stated that the Minister of France will soon take his departure for Paris, and will carry with him the -definitive decision of the Congress regarding 'Spain. Several of the diplomatic characters -state, that if war is •dectared against Spain, that France will not lie engaged alone, and that her troops will be supported by an army of reserve of Anglo-Prussians,.or , Russians, but we consider this only as an opinion or conjecture."—(Journal de Paris.) SPANISH NEWS. The contradictory nature of the intelligence published by the Toulouse.lournals is Ns ell known. We con fine ourselves to copying them, leaving to our readers the care of extracting the truth : but the accounts, one with anothei,:prove that discord continues to pre - Vail in the Army of the Faith, since it appears that the Royalists are accusing each other of treason and conspiracy,— ( ) The Echo du JThU dives a letter from Urgel, dat6d . the 15th, which contains the foll Owing statement:— • • " As I informed you in my last, the Trappist Don Antonio Maragon arrived here in time to discover a conspiracy which might have done us serious injury. " The day after his arrival he visited the fort; he wished to exercise the artillery in firing. He'found one battery in which the guns were.chiefly loaded with sand, and others in which the halls had been put before the •powder. Suspecting some treachery, lie asked the Commandant of the Fort and the • Commander of the Artillery to come into the town and assist him in investigating this affair : but the Commandant, suppos ing that he might be compromised, returned into the fort.. The Trappist presented himself there again, but admission was refused him. He succeeded, however, in getting in by a stra tagem, and, assisted by the faithful Royalists, he arrested and imprisoned the traitors. He afterwards reviewed the troops of the garrison, and intrusted.the keys of .this important position. to Don Barreira,'SecreTaTrir to the Regency; after causing it to be occupied by.troops which are to be'relied on. " After this transaCtion, , he left us, it is said, for Navarre.— I imagine he will go by the,way, of Toulouse, as he is very de sirous of again seeing his superiors, and of holding converse for some few days with his God in the bosom of retirement. " We understand that Baron .d'Eroles expects to fight a battle in a few days." - A private letter, dated Urge!, the 16th, adds what follows : " The Trappist, who arrived here on Tuesday last, and who • was supposed to be destined to.command,the plaCe, set out to day for Trance. What can be the motive of his departure ? ' This is a question every body asks. 'There is fightiniat this moment in the Conque de Tremp and the neighbourhood of Talart, the Baron d'Eroles' country—a circuaPstante which will doubtless makehim redouble his courage in the defence of - his Own hearths." Another letter of the same date says—" Romanillo is t .the . only traitor it is believed there are a good many more among the Royal Chiefs. There has even been a plot in the fort for giving it up to Mina's soldiers. Four pieces of cannon I were found to be loaded with any thing else than powder. There is no doubt that if Mina had continued his march on the 9th and 10th by Orgagna, that.,lte would have taken this place without firing a shot." FROM Pu YCERDA, Nov, 10.--" We have the Regensyand Provincial Junta of Catalonia here. The printing establish merit and the Editor of the Diario have also arrived. We shall soon see that journal re-appear, under the title of Diario de Puycerda. About sixty cavalry, of Romanillo's division have just entered this place, which is crowded with troops and strangers. I send you none of the news of the moment—l should perhaps be obliged to contradict them by the first cou rier. The terms of the loan 'made with the house of Ouvrard of Paris, by the Regency, have been ratified. It is also de creed that the money of France shall have a forced currency. All that is 9ow wanted is, to find subscribers sufficiently confi dent to part with their money on guarantees so satisfactory, and pledges so solid." Fors, Nov. 20.—" The famous Trappist has passed through this city on his way front Puycerda to Toulouse. The arrival of this quondam General in his cassock was a sort of event for us. All the inhabitants, from different motives, wished to see the man who has been so preached up by his party. Some,ex pected to see a giant, but they were grievously disappointed.— He was in the Trappist habit, but he carried neither sword nor pistols, as in the days of his glory. All our devout ladies kissed his hands, and wished him prosperity. The Trappist stopped only two hours, during which he visited the Prefect. " The journey of the Trappist has dismayed all his partisans They can no-longer doubt the defeat and complete destruction of the Army of the Faith in Catalonia. They still rested their hopes on 'Baron d'Eroles ; but in a few hours after, the arrival at the inn'of his family and baggage, on their way to Toulouse, was announced. " We are assured that the Regency is completely dissolved, and that the army no longer exists. Monks and other person ages are every moment arriving from Puycerda. Persons worthy of credit, who have just come from that town, state that Mina has so well manoeuvred that he has succeeded in cutting off all communication between Catalonia and Arragon, and that he was expected at Urgel on the 21st or 22d of this month. He can meet with no resistance, for even the troops of the battalion of the Faith which was left to defend the castle of Urgel, are said to have disbanded themselves. " In consequence of these reverses,. the Mayors Andorre have, it is said, applied to the Prefect of our Department for six hundred men ; but as he could not take upon himself to accede to this proposition, it was immediately referred to Paris." - Both the Journal de Toulouse and the Echo du Midi an nounce the arrival of the Trappist in that city on the 19th. Che following is the manner in which this intelligence is given by the latter : " Don Antonio, better known by the title, of the Trappist, and whose name will be memorable in the annals of the Spanish restoration, arrived here yesterday morning. This venerable Monk has taken up his residence in the house of the Missionary priests, which several other Trappists have for a considerable time inhabited. In every place through which he pagsed on his Way to Toulouse he was received by the authorities and the in habitants in the manner due to so zealous a defender of the altar and the throne." The same fact is thus stated in the Journal de Toulouse:— " The Trappist, who 'has played so . great a part in the late affairs in Spain, arrived yesterday morning at Toulouse. It is reported, but without any apparent foundation, that he has taken. this long circuit for the purpose of passing from Catalonia into Arragon. Reasoning on this supposition, it may be re garded as certain that the communications are cut off. Be this as it may, the Trappist on his arrival proceeded to, the old house of the Inquisition, which is now inhabited by the monks of his order.' 'We probably shall soon learn what are his real projects and'ulterior destination." . . . A letter from Perpignan of the 18th inst. brings the following intelligence : " An ordinance arrived at one o'clock p. m. from Mont Louis. Two regiments of the garrison who were exercising with their knapsacks on, were immediately ordered back to their barracks. Two hours fter, a battalion of infantry, with some pieces of artillery, marched for Mont Louis. ' It is said that the ordinance brought to the authorities the intelligence that Mina had entered Puycerda, from which, half an hour earlier, the pretended Regency took their departure ; that a division of the Spanish army had pursued the rebels to the French territory ; and that Baron d'Eroles was closely blockaded in the'Seo d'Urgel. • " This news appears certain ; but we have not yet heard whether the Regency have taken refuge in Mont Louis, 44 Within these three or four days, monks of all colours have been arriving here in swarms. ,Itappears that great 'numbers of them have been arrested in Catalonia, and embarked for.the Isle of Cabrea. 44 We are now 'provisioning all our strong places for one year. A person named Senepar is the contractor. The sup plies are to, be • completed by the end of the present month. To-morrow we expect 200 gendarmes to arrive here."—(Jour sal du Commerce.) Yesterday recent letters from Perpignan were 'received at Paris, which state that the Army of the Faith was flying on all sides before General Mina, who was pressing close upon Baron d'Eroles. This intelligence ac cords well with the arrival of the Trappist at Toulouse.—( Constitutionnel.) BAYONNE. A letter dated Bayonne the 19th, contains the following par ticulars :—Travellers daily arriving from the Peninsula com plain bitterly of the great number of robbers who infest the high roads, but otherwise tranquillity generally prevails, espe cially in the great town. The most perfect union continues between the Cortes and the Ministry. The writer of. the late article in the Journal des Debate seems not to be acquainted with Spain, or, at least, he must have been misinformed ; for to believe hat modifications in the Constitution might be ob tained .by farce of arms, is an illusion. The new system has struck too deep root; the revolution must proceed in its course : the Liberals know that they cannot go back, and that they are able to surmount all obstacles to. the consolida tion of their work. The invasion of the country by a' great army, supposing it could even reach Madrid, would increase the disorder and anarchy, but not lead to the triumph which is desired. Spain is not a rich nation, whose people. dread a . foreign enemy: the great. mass has nothing to lose; naturally poor' and miserable, they are always ready to take up arms, and there is no doubt that the present Government has sufficient means to set them in Motion. It' is but too ' true that the three Biscayan provinces, and Navarre, would be glad to see an auxiliary army, which would restore them their privileges and commercial immunities which -they enjoyed before the revolution influence but this would have no essen tial in the interior, for these provinces have always been considered as if they were a foreign country; the rest of the na tion was jealous of the immunities they enjoyed, and had fre quently demanded the suppression of them, and the A ndalusians, Castillians, and other people of the Peninsula, would desire no better than to make war there, excepting against the places which manifest attachMent to the Constitution, such as Bilboa, Vittoria, &c. It appears certain, that if the late Ministry had proceeded boldly in a constitutional manner, there would not now be any insurgents in the three provinces, or in Navarre, notwithstanding the protection they have reeeived abroad, for in fact what have &c. hitherto done ? In all this time, though they. flatter themselves with having the inhabitants in, their favour, they have not been able to possess themselves of a single oint. .ci'.appui in the country, except that. miserably fortified h ouse Iran, which they would have lost long .ago, if Epinosa had chosen to take it : whereas the Constitutionalists, though they cannot depend on the inhabitants, like their adyersaries, will gill maintain themselves with a handful of brave men. The Gazette of St. Sebastian contains nothing interesting: it merely mentiens the arrival at Vittoria of two battalions from the interior. The Saragossa Gazette says, that Mina, whose head-quarters were at Agramont on the Bth, hoped to approach Urgel in a few days. Ihe tqmpany of miquelets under his command has lately been reinforced by 300 deserters from the army of Gen. Eroles. The same journal says, that Baibastro is evacuated by the Trappist, and that the troops of Velasco again occupy the banks of the Cinch,. from Fraga to Andaguesa. Another battle was soon expected on the banks of the Segre, in the territory of ()liana. It was supposed to be the plan of Eroles to draw Mina into his almost inaccessible positions. Arrests and emigration have began at Saragossa. Three or four Canons are mentioned as being thrown into prison, and the Clubbists demand that the Archbishop shall be deposed; the authorities have referred to the Government. LI'T'ERARY NOTICE. FEDERATIVE CONSTITUTION FOR ITALY.- .Pro ject for its Regeneration ; founded on the respective interests and reciprocal advantages of the several Italian Sovereigns ; embracing the objects proposed by the Holy Alliance, and ten/ling to make that country participate, not only in the re sults proceeding - fionlsnch objects, but also in the benefits promised by the enlightened state of the age, &c.—By Capt. FRANCIS ROINIEO., (Concluded from THE SUN of N0v..21.) I nosy pass:to another, ,and proceed - to reflect on the actual disposition of Italy with regard to its inhabitants, as also to Europe in general. • Is the government imposed on Italy given as a punisment, or as a reward ? If as a punishment, may I ask what crime has that country ever committed ? Wifo accused her? who listened to her reply ? who were her judges? why was she con demned ? what means have been employed to rectify her Con duct ? _ _ . What crime did -Italy commit ? She respected her Princes, and cordially espoused the cause of the Allied Sovereigns ; re posed the greatest confidence in their promises ; believed her self independent, as tYtese monarchs had declared, and, in con sequence, endeavoured to establish such institutions as she thought necessary to her prosperity, without ever mixing in the affairs of callers. Was she punished for such conduct ? Did he who counselled that punishment fully distinguish what would .be the results of his advice ? Does he know what he meant to insinuate amongst the people, and what he says to the Sovereigns? I will tell him: he plainly conspires against the security' 'of Princes, their titles and honours, the peace of Eurape; 'and the rights of every nation. • Such a counsellor might wish us to believe that this proceed ing was a favour and a benefit to Italy. lie may think thus, or it may be convenient to him that others should suppose so ; but, unfortunately, the Italians think differently. They are disposed'to put more faith in observed and existing facts, than in words or advice of this kind.. They do not need the counsel of others to regulate their domestic affairs; and they will only believe themselves' benefited when their Princes, beloved by the people, shall be respected from abroad, and their independence no' longer be attempted or violated- They also do not understand why insult should be added to in justice, and it shnuld be pretended that the Government im posed upon them was a benefit or favour to their country. Nations can neyer•account as a benefit or favour the System which degrades Sovereigns, and separates them from their people,—resisting the wants and the wishes of both, and para lysing their resources,—a system which encourages factions, sows discord between the citizens, and, subjecting that country to foreign influence, compels them to desert the native land they are at the moment unable to defend. The Italiansanight at least find some consolation, could they observe that their miseries lead towards the general welfare of Europe,—that their abasement assured the balance of power, the independence, peace, and prosperity of other nations. But as for the balance of power, the present system of Italy tends to exalt over a large State the influence of one, depress ing that of other foreign Governments; thus opening a way to ambitious attempts, and increasing the fears of the States liable to aggression. Can such a measure conduce to The poll.' tical balance of Europe ?- Can peace be maintained by a System which alienates sub jects from their Sovereigns, foments jealousy among neigh bouring Powers, and injures the claims of others'? ' • - Do the transactions which have taken place in Italy, prove that the independence of States is respected ? Does the prosperity . of nations consist in the people being prevented from 'choosing their own form of Government ? It is however said, that what has been done in Italy was ne cessary, both to put down revolution in that country, and to prevent it in . the rest of Europe. Admitting this, we must then expect that so sacred an object could be realized by vio lating the independence of nations, resisting the genius of the age, the desires of the people, the progress of mind ; as well as degrading the Sovereigns, and alienating them from their sub jects ! ! ! At the moment that this measure of prevention was meditat ing, Greece clearly shewed how inefficacious all such measures were to obtain the desired object. The league of Princes in 'Europe may,. it is also supposed, enable the Governments to resist the voice of the age and the people ; but is it certain that such leagues will not cause leagues to be formed in opposition ?. Monarchs will sacrifice every thing to the maintenance of peace among themselves ; but will the people, opposed on every point; be always at peace with Monarchs ? • This problem merits the greatest consideration of those who preside over Europe ; and it may he resolved advantageously tbr the Sovereigns, if, consulting their true interests and their own hearts, they choose to secure their'thrones by meliorating the condition of the people they govern. The present System of Italy is considered a convenient one, to increase the power.of Austria, and make it balance that of Russia. _ . • -• _ Were these two Powers not well poised in 1815 ? Does Italy serve to balance Poland ? or is it to follow the same fate ; or rather, is the present Congress assembled for the purpose of de ciding on the equivalent which the latter power may expect in some other eastern Country, for the assistance it has g►ven to the occupation of Italy ? • Are our Politicians afraid of the North ? why, then, do they not fortify the Powers of the South ? Do they intend to strengthen, by dividing and humiliating Italy ? • In her present state, and the same system being persisted in, ought she to inspire the Austrian Government with confidence or with dread ? . . Can this Government hope for succour, or will it find oppo sition from the neighbouring States ? Could it employ the troops stationed in that country ? " Italy is now put in such a state as to paralyse a large part of the Austrian k orces, to encourage the attempts of Russia, and to increase the danger to the Southern Powers of Europe." When may Austria findresources in Italy, and no longer be exposed to danger by that country ? When will the South be secure against the aggressions of the North ? . Only in the event of the Italians becoming strong by union, and feeling convinced that, by assisting Austria they will sup port their own rights and interests : which will take place when the Confederation, here proposed, is carried into execution, and 'ltaly-, in consequence, become independent and powerful. The Austrian Government may be considered under two dif ferent aspects, viz. as opposed to, or as combined with Russia. What will the Italians do for Austria in the former case ? Can it be doubted ? They will obey the impulses of her ad versary. In the latter case, from the situation of Italy, what resist ance could she oppose to the attempts of such an alliance ? Only that of repeating with the poet, Divisurn imperium cum Jove—Cresar habet." If the governnient here proposed for Italy should be realized, how different would be the fate of the South Italy would be able, in such circumstances, to resist the aggressions of Austria and Russia, and would serve as a barrier to France and Spaih ; to Austria; also, if united with it, and attached to its principles, the Italians would be a great support, should she be , menaced by Russia; whose dominion . over Poland already renders her too powerful and dangerous for Europe. Why then, is Italy not to be placed in a situation that fa vours the projects of the Allied Sovereigns ; offering the most sure guarantee of the Peace of Europe, to the independence of individual nations, and to the balance of power : and which, satisfying the just demands of the Italians, secures the thrones of their Sovereigns, and makes them the powerful rulers of a free and prosperous people ! The present moment is certainly most propitious to realize such a scheme : which not in Vienna, but in Russia, will en counter the greatest obstacles ; and the noble dispositions of. its Monarch, promises to facilitate the sublime undertaking. Alex ander postpones the pursuit of his most seducing interests not to disturb the peace of Europe. Alexander makes ~ ,r eat sa crifices. to show his moderation to his noble Allies : Alexander submits to the most vexatious, but decisive circumstances, to convince the other Sovereigns of his good faith. Europe must therefore, see how propitious is the presentmoment to overcome all the obstacles to this plan ; and the Emperor of Ruisia, if he be really anxious to sustain before all Europe the nobleness of his own sentiments, cannot be ignorant, - that the best and only proof which he can give of his attachment to treaties,— of his good will towards the nations of the South,--,-of his undoubted magnanimity and greatness of soul,—is to bestow a Constitution on Italy, which would .render her strong, indepen dent, and tranquil ; able. to combat the attempts of the ambi tious, and always deaf to the flatteries of lerfidy, and the voice of innovators. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. Two expresses were received from Paris this morning, bringing letters written late in the evening of the 26th current, which advise a very considerable improvement in theyalue of foreign securities there. The Rentes, which closed on the preceding day at 88f. 45c., advanced on Tuesday to 89f. 60c. Neapolitan Bonds were considerably improved, and were in demand ,at MA, and the Spanish Bonds of 1821 also rose to 59. It was universally believed that the Patriot Gene ral MINA, heading the national troops, had pqrstied so closely the hordes of priests and vagabonds, impiously denominated the Army of the Faith, that no opportunity to rally them had been afforded to the traitors under whose command they had vainly attempted to destroy the liberties of their country. 'At the date of these expresses opinions continued to be divided respecting the duration of peace. There was this morning on the Stock Exchange an evident inclination for improvement. Consols for the next settlement opened at 813, and some extensive purchases having been made, they advanced to 82k. Two considerable failures during the day, however, were announced, and probably the sale of their speculations caused a sudden dullness, and the market closed at 811 - 7 „, being nearly the same as the rate at which it opened: In the Foreign market the advanced pricea in Paris partly dis pelled the gloom which hangs over all transactions. Neapoli tan Bondsadvanced fully 1 per cent. and. the Spanish of 1821 were sold at 6(4.• These latter, however, again declined, and no confidence will be reposed in any description of Foreign Stocks until the result of the settlement on Saturday next be made known. _ The following are the nominal quotations of Foreign Secu rities this day, but in most of them. very little business has been done, occasioned entirely by the want of confidence amongst the dealers : 7 — French Five per Cents. with Dividend from 22d.

NEW BEDFORD UNITED STATES), OCT. 10. —The ship Russell a few days ago arrived here, which touched Pit cairn's Island on her way home, and a passenger in her has favoured us with a journal of the stay they made there, which will . be found particularly interesting, as what ever tends to shew the progress - and. condition of a settle*. ment tints singularly founded, cannot but he regarded with interest... The perfect system of harmony and moral purity which is found to exist among these Islanders is very striking, and forms a strong instance - nf the effects of ek ternal circumstances on individual character. .The.first settlers came to this, island fugitives from justice, outlaws of the most degraded kind. Cot off as they soon were from all hope of in tercourse with other parts of the world, they must have looked on each other as sharers of a perpetual exile, and. added to a Peeling of mutual dependence, the best sympathies of their nature must have been called forth, and good affections gained strength, while what was bad' in their characters might be sup posed, in their simple way of life, to find few occasions to operate and .by degrees to lose dominion over them. John Adams is the only one of the Bounty's crew now remaining on the Island. Ile appears the Patriarch of the little community, and has no doubt been instrumental in forming the minds of those born on the Island in those principles of religion and virtue 'which are so conspicuous in their characters. We give the jour nal unadulterated as we received it. JOURNAL. 3lmicHlade the Island. At nine, A.M., a boat came off with' ten young men; dressed in white shirts and trowers after the European, style. They spoke English very well. Some of them had very regular English features, while others bore strong marks of their partly Otaheitan origin. 'Their com plexion, which is naturally of an olive cast, seems heightened by the effect of the sun. They brought with them a few pre-- sents, such as bananas, cocoa -nuts, water melons, &c. After the usual compliments had passed on the occasion, they were asked down into the cabin ; some' bread and butter was placed on the table, and they were invited to eat, which they declined doing, alleging that it !was Friday and a fast day, and which they dedicated solely to' their 'Maker. However,. after some persuasion, and after some consultation among themselves, and asking the Captains whether they thought it would-be proper, arid being answered in the 'affirmatiVe, they raised their hands to Heaven, and said grace with the most unaffected sim plicity ; they ate but little, and that more out of polite ness than a wish to do it. A small quantity of rum, very much diluted with: water, was then offered; they hesitated, but at length one two were , pressed to drink, which they did, wishing every one good health. After the things were removed, they sung a hymn, craved a blessing, and sat down. They appeared, intelligent, and shewed an inquiring disposition: they could read a little, and seemed anxiogs to learn Their boat, which was very leaky, was in the meantime hoisted on deck, and repaired. It was an old whale-boat, and they said this was he second time that the Americans had repaired it for them. In the,afternoon one of our boats went ashore ; we landed near the Mountains, through some surf, rocks, &c. ; and by the dex terity of the islanders, arrived safe without getting wet. The boat washauled up on a small beach; where we were met by two or three good-looking children; having crosses about their necks. Wr ascended a mountain at least 400 feet in height, covered with plaintain, cocoi-nut trees, tea-root, and grass; a path wound up along the side of it, and was very difficult travelling, being wet„muddy, and extremely narrow. When we got to the top we descended into a valley of cocoa , nut trees, planted in rows, the work of the Islanders. At length, .after travelling a mile or two, we again descended into another valley like the former, planted with cocoa-nuts add the ' tea plant ; having ascended it, we found ourselves almost be fore the doors of the houses, and in the midst of the commu nity. Old and young came out to meet us. The women were clothed in mantles made of paper-mulberry, and flung loosely over their shoulders ; they were nearly white, and comely in their appearance—all of their speaking English.' Some time after John Adams, whom he had met half way to the landing place, arrived at the huts with our Captain and two or three women. Five of their houses are built in an open area cut out of the surrounding woods ; they are constructed of strong and durable wood of the colour of mahogany, and are two stories high—the parts joined together with a great degree of nicety and strength. The sides were so contrived that they could in a few minutes give it the appearance of a skeleton of one, thehdanks, sliding out,; the wind can circulate freely through every part whenever necessity or convenience require it. They were built by the young men, who are-exceedingly well skilled in the use of tools. Most of their implements of husbandry were saved from the Bounty,' hut are now almost useless from continual wear. There were two other hduses situat ed at some little distance from• these first, and hidden by the trees, one of them belongs to John Adams. , There were six of the native Otaheitan women living, one of them, the wife of Adams, was nearly blind, the others were strong, and bore their age well. There are seven families, consisting of fifty-three souls in all. This little community live together in the utmost harmony ; no animosity or petty quarrels were ob-. served among them ; on the contrary . a mutual and cheerful wish to contribute to each others happinZss appeared to actuate every one. Theirs is a state which reminds one strongly of the description of our first parents,before they sinned. No man de serves higher esteem than John Adams. Providence, by the instrumentality of this man, has reared a new people strong in Vie paths of virtue. Every thing which they thought would add to our convenience was offered ; hogs, fowls, plantains, every production of the island, were presented •to us with 'cheerful hearts. We left these virtuous Islanders with regret, carrying with us opinicons the most favourable' of their virtue and hospitality. PRICE, G THIS DAY AT Bank Stock — 3 per Cent. Red. 80/ 4 1 3 per Cent.
