At a !ate hour this day we received All'e Park, Papers of -Monday last. They treat as chimeri cal the reports of hostile tnorements on the part of Spain against Purtitgal. The folio N7iiig are e% i ract s :-- " Taxis, ()GT. 27.—Private letters from Ma drid of the 13th instant say nothing iyhatever re- s - pecting the pretethled offensive movements of the Spaniards against Portngal. General O'Donnell, WllO has been mentioned as the Commander of the troops.assernbling in Estramadura, has riot 10;000 men tinder his orders; and there is nothing to indicate any military operations on any part of .the line. " It is impossible that the English Journals can have later intelligence than us, of what is passing in►, a country f►•ont whence news can arrive at Paris in six or seven days when of,any import ance, whilst from the frontiers of Portugal to Lisbon, from Lisbon to Lrttulon, and then limn London to Paris, is a journey much too long for iatelligcncc to arrive with the same celerity. The reports of a triple invasion attempted by the Spoinsh troops are entirely unfounded. Letters from Toulouse state, that Jansion and who are confined in the prison called the Capuchins, at Rhodez, were on the point of escaping, whets their project was discovered and frustrated.. They bad contrived to make a bole in the wall ) , next the Rue Sainte 'Marthe. Yesterday after mass the King received the Duke of Orleans, the Spanish and Neapolitan 4 %mhassadori, the Ministers, Marshals, &c. " The Minister of Baden and the Prefect of Bas Rhin have arranged the reciprocal surren der of the Islands of the Rhine, for the purposes uf the demarcation of the frontiers, and the cere mony will commence the 25th - instant. " Prince Eugene bas assumed from the 15th inst. the titles of Duke deLenchtemberg, Prince of Eichstad. " Accounts from Switzerland announce, that the celebrated General Kosciusko died lately at -Solenre, where he had lived for some time quite retired and devoted to his studies, but enjoying tl►e society of 3 few select friends. He was very charitable to the poor, to whom he has bequeath ed by . his will considerable legacies. " Letters , from Lausanne state, that on the 17th inst. at three in the afternoon, a violent shock of an earthquake :was felt at at Vvonand, and in its neighbourhood. " The Emperor et Morocco has presented to the French Consul a Lion and Lioness, both young, for the Menagerie o( the Jardin f!u Roi. They are expected at Marseilles, whet e arrange ments are making to convey them to Paris. " LAUSANNE, OCT. 21.—General Kosciusko, who died at Soleure the I.sth; directed before his decease, that his funeral should be extremely plain, and that his remains should be borne by the Poor to the grave. The death of General Kosciusko has produced the sincerest regret.. To the name of this hero is attached all the sublimity that can arise from inflexible virtue, patriotism, land true glory. " VIENNA, OCT. 6.—Commercial letters speak of a very serious insurrection having broken out at Bucharest, in consequence of which the H os _ podar of that place has been compelled to aban don the town. " BERLIN, OCT. 13.—1 t appears that foreigners are very ill informed with respect to our internal affairs, stating as they do, that there is a party amongst us who do not wish for a Constitution. This is entirely false. There is in the whole Monarchy, and amongst all classes, but one de •aire•with regard to this object, with which they are occupied. The King is desirous of giving a Constitution to his I . llA:ries Of th.nt `CunStitistion are not yet agreed upon. Stef:ie 'people are for the re-establishment of the ancient provindial States in the 'provinces iVhich liad them, and forihe creation ofriew Stat'es in the Provinces, in Which they have itht hitherto existed. Others •wish that the States - should be established upon ti n linitoi in system, but that they should only have a deliberative voice. Others again desire, that be side!: die Ste'eS in each Grand Presidency, there ihould be a General National Assembly, com posed of RepretentatiVes, 'charged to co-operate with the King in the malting et laws, ttre fixing of the tnnual ?Adger, &c. • There are also agita- tors tvho dream of au unity iu Germany, a slit:- cies of indivisible republic, and other similar " It is however truly consoling that the mo- Berate party comprises au immense majority of enlightened men ana citizens of property. This' party wish fur a constitutional monarchy, and rely entirely upon the promises of the King. " It is understood that Geueral the Count de Gneisenau is to preside at the Commission for the trial of Colonel de Massenbach. " It is said. that Prince Oscar of Sweden is coming here to make a stay of some months. " Letters from Sweden state, that a Treaty of very advantageous to shat Kingdom, haibeen'coneinded between the Court of Stock holm and- Ike Uriiterl States of America. " STOCKI3OLM, OCT. courier from Pe, terthurgh has brought heri the new Treaty o Commerce concluded between otir Court and that of Russia, which is expected t to'be speedily pub. " TRIESTE, OCT. 2.—We have received bete intelligence, that the Danish brig Venus, bound .from Lisbon to this port, with a valuable cargo of colonial produce, ha's been found en the coast of Grenada, near Almvida, abandoned by all tier crew ; she is aupposied to have been plundered by the Barbarians, who had made the crew prisoners. "VIENNA, OCT. 6.—lt appears that the jour ney of their imperial Majestixs to nunich is post pone(' till next Spring. From Mould) the Etn perot will proceed to Mahheitn, to the Congress of the Allied Sovereigns." We can venture positively to state, that the re fusal of Lord AMHERST to 10 the itUlnilieit ill; ceremonies recptirenl of hint at the Imperial Court of China, so far from having lessened his Lordship's character at that Court; of injured the object of the Embassy, is likely to be -pro ductive of ♦•ery beneficial cons:quences. The dig nified firmness slith which the Noble Lord con- ducted himself, had made a po+verful impression on the 'minds of the Chinese in general, and is even said to have.excited the respect of the EM PEROR himself, who, we are assured, took parti cular pains to investigate all the circumstances of the Embassy, and has resented the deception which had been practised on him by some of his Mihisters, who have since been punished for !heir artifice and falsehood. We have, therefore, .rea son rather to rejoice than to regret that Lord AtoHERST SO well sustained his oars character, and that of the Country xvhich he represented, in so firm and dignified a manner. [Front the Quebec Gazette' ‘ll Sept. STEAM BOAT BURNT.—We learn that about the beginning of this week the Steam Boat Clump hart was totally consumed by fire ; it is reported to have been done by anincendiary. No lives were lost, and most of the furniture, &c. on board saved. (Front the same Paper.) By a respectable Indian Agent now at the seat of Government we learn, that in coming .up the Ohio he met upwar►!s of a hundred Frenchmen (Em►grants) directing their course towards the new settlement on the Tombigbee., The Papers state, that the fur trade began to be brisk. A schooner, with 322 pack of furs, bear-skins, buffalo-robes, otter-beaver, &c. had sprung a leak in coming down the Tigress, and best part of her cargo was landed in a damaged state ; the furs were estimated at 150,000 dollars, and the damage is supposed to amount to 10 or 12,000 dollars. (Front the Cenzntercial dtivertiser of Oct. 6.) Capiain KEELF., arrived at Norfolk from St. Jago, reports that when he left the fever cowl hued to rage with great violence. it was not un usual to see from nine to a dozen funerals of a morning before breakfast. Such intelligence should keep the quarantine officers of the United States on the alert, In Georgia and South Carolina .vast numbers have fallen victims to the yellow fever, and other epidemics, equally fatal. We have also a letter from New Orleans, of the l6th of August, stating that it wa3 extremely sickly at that place, that the stores were principallidosed, and every per..

Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman at Amelia Island to his Friend in Charleston, dated Sept. 26 : " I had business which called me to Fcrnandift this morn ing. On my antral I found the place in the greatest cenfd sion. Colonels Posey and Parker had fled four days ago.— M'Grcgor has re-embarked an board his brig, with his family and furniture. Colonel Ervin has limn appointed-to the temporary command; and a Council' of Officers is hourly ex pected to take place, to determine whether to risk a battle, r to abandon the place peaceably; The Morgiana's men and guns have arrived. They hare now three armed brigs and three schooners, besides 80 men, exclusive of officers; making in all 94. This morning the ship Margaret arrived from New York, with military and naval stores, so that in all probability there will be a severe engagement. The Spaniards have a consider►ble force at Cedar Point, about 20 miles to the southward of Fernandia, waiting for some transports with ordnance and military stores from St.Augustiue. Se.me of the Florida Militia are encamped at the Orange Grove on the Main, In .Vie* of Peraandia, waiting to join the Spanish forces, and it is generally believed here that Governor Cv pinger Will command in p€rson, but at present his.troups are - under the command of lanker of the name of Drummond. My opinion is, that the Patriots are more formidable now• than at any'other period." THE FUNDS.—The alarm created by the moye ments of the Spanish troops is completely set at rest by the arvivpl of the Li,hon Mail, the private letters stating, that the timops alluded to were marching for their destination to embark on board a Russian fleet shortly expected, in order to be conveyed to the South American possessions. Confidence is again reinstated, and Consols, which the rumours had reduced to SO, were this morning at 8211. The Commissioners were this morning served at 82/ for Aloney, and were supplied ge nerally by the jobbers.--Several large purchaees have been made to-day. Timbaß Duttes.---47onsiderable apprehension is enteitilified at the Outpotts, and in Bi kid' North America, that in the Bill to be brought in for the new consolidation of the Duties of Customs, in the ensuing Session, a ditty will be imposed on a ll Wood from. the King's Colonies ; but which we trust, for the reasons we have often before stated, will not take place; as it will throw out of cm ployMent from 1100 to 1200 ships, and set adrift scverdl thousands of sailors, who tnusrof neces - - sity be Supported by their patishes, which are scarce able to maintain their present poor : inde pendent of the injury to the English ship-owners, and to the merchants who have erected establish ments iu British North America, on the faith of theexisting system of ‘Vood Duties being node riAtingly adhered to. ,EXTRACT OP A LETTER FROM ALGIERS, DATED AUGUST '24. " The plague appears rather to increase than to abate, notwithsianditu, , tl4e excessive heat of the season. The number of deaths has been almost since the beginning. of the mouth between 150 and 2DO persons every day; during the last week this number appears to be rather still more con siderable, as far as it is possible to have correct information. In fact, the mortality is so great, that it . is with ditlieulty people can he got to bury the dead bodie3, and the burial grounds are quite filled up.

I do not suppoSe that in your travels yori have ever been tip the Bay of Fundy. The land which I noW life in is South-west of Cape Spett eight •milet. There is a very - handsome river which runs through this part of the farm, and a very Safe harbour ; that a vesse l of about 300 tons 'night come in, at light water, in perfect safety. It 'is known by the name of Ratchford's Harbour. The last year has been the longest and severest le-. tuembei-ed by the oldest inhabitants in Nova Scotia. The snow remained in the woods until the 10th of June; Most Of the work is done here in the winter in clearing the lands. All the derwOoti is cut down in the fall, and the standing - . timber remains till the beginning of spring, whem it is set on fire and borut. The land will thea give three very good crops (pkatatoes, wheat, aml. oats), and becomes capital grass_ ground wards.. My next neighbour, who (a Scotelimah) is 70 years old, has been sixty years in this pare of the country, and settled only two years in the adjoining farm. I have not seeo rn Englaml a more promising piece of potatoes than this man has raised. This is the ,country for a poor man t,) visit. No taxes —yon may sleep with your . doors open, and no fear of having your throat The labourer commonly gets from four io five shillings a day. If hired by the year he gets 3L per ()Math. This before the expiration of 20 years will become a great . nation. There are several lots of land which are now offered for sale very' cheap. There are one thousand acres (a- lot with several acres of marsh lAnd) which might he bought for 2501. it is really worth 4001. It fronts the bay, where plenty of ti,ll can be caught. Two men with a b,at last week, out three that's with a hook and line, returned with the boat loaded with 700 cod fish; and several other kinds, which makes it a desirable sitoation for the poor a s well as rich to hive in.

'file boats of the men of war and the Lob:mien, 10 thr num ber of thirty or forty, ‘vere asseinbled at C into!), and all the Officers and taco; in full dress, were ordered to hold themselves in readiness to pro ceed up the river, by which it was known ti;at the Ambassador- would return. While these dispo sitions were making, Wacneks, the AMC.- Heals Consul, called ,upon Captain MAxwist.t., anti expressed. his desire to spew his respects to the Ambassador ; anal added, that it Captain Max - WELL thought this ivould be effected by having the American flag in the rocession, Ile wouht gladly avail himself of the opportnnity. Captain MAxwer.r., after complimenting the Consul tipo:a the handsome manner in: which lie bad come for ward, observed, that as Mr. ‘Vit.cocKs represented the commercial interests of America in the sang manner that the British Factory represented those. of England, his situation on this occasion ap peared to he immediately after the Chief of the British . Factory. With this arrangement Mr. WmcocKs declared himself perfectly satisfied.— On the approach of the Embassy, the boats, which were formed into two lines, prOceeded, with colours flving, about five miles up the river Canton. On first . meeting the Ambassador's flee:, no one was admitted on board the state hargt, except Captain MAXWELL and Sir THEOPHILAYi METCALVE, the Chef of the Factory ; but , Lord AMllliiis T was no sooner informed of what had passed, than he desired that Mr, Wit.coex.4 might be invited on board and presented to Lordship. Letters of the in:tant from Cadiz mention, tlot the Spanish 61, the Asia, ‘viti an armed brig, Karl, returned to port from a cruise against the ihdepetuktiti, wit hunt success ; but it was ex pected they would soon be ,sent Out again. On: of a convoy. of thirteen vessels which had sailzd ..fioni the Llavannah, only four had arcirA at Ca diz, and it was feared that many of the remainder ,had been captured. Cap.t.
