LORD SELKIRK. Advices from Montreal, to the 23d Angusf ) In form us, that on the evening of the 19th, Mr. bitswi, one of the Agents of the North West COM pany, arrived there from Fort William, bringing accounts from the Red River to the 22d of July. Mr. Shays reached the Red River most oppor timely, as the stock of provisions had been in a . • ;winner abandoned by the people who had it in Charge. On Mr. SHAW making the-Forks, he was immediately joined by a large band of the natives, who offered him their services, not only to protect the provisions, but to assist in driving away, wha t they term, the bad dogs, from the land. Mr. SnAw visited Lord SELK/RE at Fort Dou;,-, , las, who express ed great satisfaction at seeing hint, and told him that himself and followers, about 160 in all, were .almost in a state of starvation, having been obliged chiefly to subsist on cat-fish for the last month, and that he now looked to the provisions of the North-West Company for the subsistence of his people. Mr. ShAw objected to this for the rea son of not diminishing his. own supp:ies. His Lordship said, he had the means to enforce com pliance u ith his request, and endeavoured to pre vail on Mr. SHAw t 4 resign a part without com pulsion. Mr. SHAW refused the supply, and ul timately maintained his point. Cal. CoLTMAN then arrived, and mask known trsboth parties the instruc tions he bail -reciived from Government relating to .111e - it-disputes:which were to ent-orce the cessation "'of all. hostility bott io Canaila and the Indian " " country t and the Annual restoratio n o f a ll proper . • " . ty captured during - their disputes, the freedom of . " 'trade and intercourse with the Indians, until the triars'now pending can he brought to a judicial " decision, and the great question at issue with I respect to the rights of the two companip shall •" be definitively settled." The North West Company readily offered a prompt obedience to the orders of the Commissioner in pursuance of these instructions : and although his Lordship at first endeavoured in any way to avoid the restora tion of the property he had seized, still finding his opposition was ineffectual, he signed the follow ing Proclamation, which was drawn out at the request of the Commissioner, by Mr. M'GILLI 'fRAY, the agent, of the North ‘Vesr.Company whereas the ; Proclamation of his Royal Highness the Prince bf Wales, Regent of the Unit e d Ki ng d om of Great Briton.) and Ireland, in the name, and on the behalf of Isis Majesty, whereof a copy is firs-emit° annexed, and herein referred to, was,. by the express commaudof his Royal Highoese as afore aaid, issued at Quebec on the 3d day of May last by his Ex ellency Sir J.

The following are Rxtracts : " PARIS, SErr. 23.—The King yesterday ranaacted business with several of his Ministers. " They write from Rhodez, that 23 prisoners, having been provisionally assembled in one of the new plisons formed out of the Old Church of the Capuchins, who %were to be tried at the Assizes, 22 of them, in , the night between the 16th and 17th instant, succeeded in escaping by breaking through the wall. The Gendarmerie are pursuing them in all directions, but only one has yet been retaken. " Mrs. Fitzherbert is ar r ived at Paris, where she proposes to stay some weeks. " The vintage commences to-morrow in all the Communes in the environs of Paris. " It is now certain that tl►e report of Madame Manson having poisoned herself is entirely desti tute of foundation. • " A duel of a dreadful description has taken place at Bourdeux, between two brothers, M. M. de C----, one of them, was killed on the spot, and the other on returning home shot himself with a pistol, and inunlediately expired. " B"unday the 21st, Marshal the Duke of Ra gusa reviewed the cannoneers of the National Guard, and the Legion of La Loire Inferieure, in the place Louis le Grand. "The Commodore of the American squadron, now in the Bay of Naples, has given a fite to the English Admiral, who- arrived there in a ship of his Nation. The latter gave the Aturricans a brilliant lite in return. lVc learn from Frankfort that the Infant Don Francis Paul set out from thence the 21s1 inst. and that he proceeds to Berlin previous to visiting Vienna. " The misery ditring the period s preceding the harvest in the Abrozzos was so great, that out of a population of 20,600 persons, about 1,500 have die►l Since the mouth of March. " Although the harvest, says the Journal de Marseille, Nis been very abundant in the Roman States, bread has, nevertheless. continued dear, and the exportation of grain has been in conse quence strictly-prohibited. " The same Journal mentions a report at Mar seilles that the King of Naples is " The elections of this year will furnish to the Chamber 63 Deputies from 24 Departments, viz. Ain 1, A ipC3 (Basses) 2, Alpes (Hawes) 1, Cone d'Or 3, Creuse 3, Dordogne . 4, Eure 3, (hers 3, 116rault 3, file et Vilaine 4, Indre et Loire 2, Loiret 3, Lot I, Lozre 1, Manche 4, Mayenne Meuse 2, Nord I , Oise 3, Orne 4, Rhin (Haut) 3, Rhone 3, Seine 8, Deux .56vres 2.—.Tbe elections of 19 'departments have been published. Time remain to be received, those of the departments o: Crease, Gers, I-14rault, Lot, and Lozere, furnish• ing.ll deputies. There remains also to be electec a fourth deputy for Dordogne. " A Commission has been appointed, at the bead of which is the Marquis de Laplace, for forming a new topographical Chart of France. " Letters from Champagne state, that there would be about a third of a good vintage. The rye gives but a slender produce. There is an enor mous quantity of potatoes. In the departments of Haut and Bas Rhin there will be an excellent vintage. " Duke Louis of Wurtemberg, Uucle to the present King, died of apoplexy at Kirckeim, near Stuttgart], on the 20th inst. aged 61. " Madame Blanchard, on the 21st inst. at 5 in the afternoon, made her .53d ascension at Nantes. At 6 the balloon descended about four leagues from Nantes. •' FIVE PER CENTS. " Saturday. " VIENNA, SEPT. 16.--It is said that Russia has entered into an agreement with our Court, to prevent the exportation of all kinds of arms and provisions far the use of the insurgents of South America. " PALERMO, AUG. 10.-The United Tribunal of the Royal Junta, and the Prevotal Court, on the 4th decided on the fate of fourteen in dividuals accused of Treason. Raphal Trifaldi has been sentenced to be hung, and to be dragged to the place of execution tied to the tail of a horse. Two of the principal accomplices were sentenced to assist at the execution with ropes about their necks, and then to be imprisoned, one for life, and the other for 25 years, in a State Prison. The other individuals accused are sen tenced to imprisonment for different periods.— The sentence of death was carried into execution yesterday. " MADato, SEPT. 16.-=-An official article an nounces the conclusion of two Treaties with the Allies, signed at Paris, the 7th, Bth, 9th, and 10th June, by one of which his Majesty accedes to the Act of the Congress of Vienna, and thus becomes a Member of the Grand European Con federation,_ and the other gives the reversion of the Duchies of Parma, Plaisance, and Guastalla, to the Infant Don Charles Louis, and the States of Lucco to the Queen of Etruria, mother of the Infant Don Charles Louis. " STUTTCARD, SEPT. 21.—According to the Journals of Southern Germany, an Order of the Court of Vienna has been published, prohibit ing the young persons of Lombardy from fre quenting foreign establishments for education, without a special authority from the Government. " FRANKFORT, SEPT. 20.—The deliberations of the Diet here, during the winter, are expected to be of great importance. " MADRID, SEPT. 16.--The Government is un ceasingly, occupied_ with measures of precaution for the purpose of preventing the introduction of the plague, which prevails on the whole coast of Afr4ca. " The day before yesterday the Queen, for the first time since heraccotichement,' went in grand procession to theßoyal Chapel with the Infanta in her arms, to hear mass in public. The Queen and the King then went . to the Church' of Jesus-Nazat'eth to return thanks, and then proceeded to the pub lic promenade of • the Prado. 'The Queen conti nued the whole time to bold the Infanta in her arms. " FRANKFORT, SEPT. 24.---The Diet will, in November, be occupied with the military orga• nizatiou of the Germanic Confederation ; it will also fix the amount of the garrisons of the fede ral fortresses of Mayence and .Luxemburg." Some American Papers mired this morning, but not of late dates : " By the arrival this morning of the brig Coin modore Porter, (apt.DRAMII, in seven days frOm St. Mary's, we learn, that, on the 29th ult. a se vere gale or hurricane was experienced at that place, which continued , with great violence for 12 hours. During - the gale, which veered from E. to S. a number of vessels•'were driven on shore ; fortunately,' however, they sustained no material injury. The crops of corn and cotton' suffered much from the severity of the gale; the cotton caterpillar, we are also informed, had made its appearance among tire cotton, and had destroyed a number of fields, In the vicinity of St. Mary's corn had generally suffered greatly, and in some fields bad been entirely destroyed by the heavy and continued rains. ---(Commercial• Advertizer, Sept. 4.) " STORM AT SAVANNAH.-- , -By the schooner Laura we learn that the storm was very severe at that place : it commenced on the 7th of August, and lasted 24 hours. The crops had suffered greatly; the damage is represented to have been immense.—(Same Paper.) " We understand that an armed brig, under Cartl►agenian colours, bas been bovering about our Capes for some days past. It is said to be the privateer Fourth of July; we therefore tbinii it not safe for any unarmed vessel of any nation) haying specie on board, to fall in with ber."—. (Norfolk throld, August 30) The Prince Ernest packet, from Lisbon, spoke on 9r h ult. in lat. 31.41. N. the San Elo Caridad, North Boiling Slyle about 7 or 8 miles distant, which had been plondered by a Schooner privateer of 14 guns, that had previonsly captured a rich Spanish ship from New Spain, with a quantity of specie on board. We heartily congratulate the tititeni of Loh• don on the state of the Poll for the election of a new Lord Mayor ; and we may congratulate Mr. Alderman S.sturti that such a man as Women appears as his enemy; for the abuse of such a • man must be among the best recommendations to the respect and esteem of all good subjects. In fact,, the opposite Party have ruined themselves by the introduction of such a man in support of their cause. The honour of the City is essen. tially concerned in stlpporting the pretensions of Mr. ALDERMAN SMITH. We have tong ceased to react the vulgar and 'Mischievous trash of Jacobi. nicul Writers, and therefore we have never exposed ourselves to disgust by perusing the productions of Mr. WOOLER, who seems as much to overrate his talents as be certainly does his influence, if he sup poses that it will have any operation upon the City of London. A respectable Morning Papet of yesterday calls Mr. WOOLER . S Periodical Work " a compound of impiety, sedition, and slander," and that Paper is not likely to give erro neous. judgments. It makes also the fonownqs. - citations from this execrable compound: " For one, says Mr. WoOLRR, I will never abandon the demand for UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE." Thus la mentably shallow is this man as a practical Politi-. cian. He says also " America has demonstrated the fallacy of the European system of policy."--- " America has neither King, nor Lord, nor Priest," so that if the political principles of this Reformer were to prevail, we should have no monarchy, n® gradations of rank, and no religion. We need say no more, for, while good sense anti virtue are to be found in the community, no cause can succeed that is supported bysuch a character. GsmErtm. ELECTION.—We have before observ* eel, that there seems to lie a confident expectation in Ireland, that we are nearer to a General Etec- tion than has been hitherto imagined. Mr. RELY HuTcntsisOrr has begun . an active Canvass fov the city of Cork. Lord KINGSTON ant) Mr; HARE Canvass for the. County. Lord KItiGSTON, who has beed adverse to the Papists, has, it seems, promised them support in the name of his Son, who has hitherto voted against them. Lord BAR• NA U D , who is to start for the same County, is, it is said, sure of success. Lords STOPFORD and VALENTIA stand for the County of Wexford On the Protestant Ascendancy. Messrs CoLci-ouoist and CAREW, 011 the other hand, are for the Catholics. The Candidates for the County of Carlow are Sir ULYSSES BURG, Mr. LATOUCHE, and Mr. BRUEN! The Right Hon. VESEY FITZGERALD has signified his intention to pay his respects personally in few days to the Electors of the County of Clare, and the friends of the House of LEINSTER have intimated to the Freemen of Dublin, that one of their family is to offer himself for that City. The spirit, activity, and enterprise, of the Irish eha• • racter, will sufficiently account for these active 'movements, otherwise we know not upon what grotinds the intended Candidates are so eager an►l 30 early in their Canvass. The struggle, however, is likely to be intense in all parts of• Ireland, nor, if we are rightly informed, by correspondents from most quarters, is there a likelihood of a less ardent competition fur Parliamentary honours in this Country, where the expectation of a Ge.. neral Election is certainly not so confidently ea• tertained. The late visit of Mr. VANSITTART to Ireland, h as given, not only satisfaction but great pleasure to the loyal people of that country. As might be expected, discontent and trimmers were raised by some, but the teal, the industry, the assiduity, and the evident and fervent good-will of the ho nourable gentleman towards the welfare of the country, rendered his 'visit highly interesting to all its really wise and honest inhabitants. The letter from Mr. HAWTHORNE, which we will in• sert to-morrow, has excited great attention iv% Dublin particularly, and many Parish Meetings have been held in consequence, but the ohjectious urged against it might with a parity of reasoning be directed against all imposts, as well as that Oa windows. Mr. VASS/TTAET has, we are sure, re• solved to weigh the subject maturely, and to render all the relief he can to Ireland, consistently with the general interests of the Empire.
