" A Circular of the Minister of Marine con, tains a variety of arrangements for the re-esta blishment of a naval force. " The Insurgent privateers infest the Medi: terranean. •In the course of eight days they hare captured betwren Cape Palos and Cape Creus, eight Spanish vessels, from Valence, Barcelona, and other ports, on that part of the coast. " It appears to be certain, that the Cabinet Courier who set out froru heucc y‘esterday for Pa islbe bearer 'of tile accession of our Govern ment to the article of the Treaty of Vienna respecting the abolition of the Slave Trade ; the abolition to commence from the year 1820. It is said; That upon this ocbasi'on England pays 'us 400,0'001. sterling. She at a former period offered -750,000.1. " Troops are assembling in Estramadora, sisting of those that were in Andalusia and in the neighbonfbood. of Cadit, destined ror Aniefica. The beaa-quarters of the Count de l'Abisbal, the Commander-in-Chief, are established at Zaffra. 4 ‘ OOr relations with Russia heconie t Very 'clay more intimate. " VIENNA, SEI"T. 2i.--A report has been cir culated here of the illness of the Emperor, but it is without foundation. Several persons, however; in the suite of their Maj6iies have been attacked with feVer. Their Majesties are expected at Seth lin on theSilth. " 13ERLIN, SEPT. 25.—A grand Ministerial con ference is expected to take place here in a few days, at which objects of the highest importance will be discussed. INstntlCK, SEPT: :2.—According to the ac counts from Italy,. the King of the Two Sic'lies has issued a Decree, forbidding his subjects fi•om addtesslng the Holy See for dispensations, briefs, or rescripts, withotit having previously obtained his Majesty's per Mission. The Papal Bulls also are for the future to be of no effect, unless they have the 1t0!, , a1 e‘xequatur. " SEPT. ► 2:3.-According to the latest intelligence, front the Princess Royal of Brazil; her Ituperial Highness, as well as those who ac company her, support the voyage very well ; and their passage is pleasant. BASTADT, OCT. 2.—Several of the Ministers of the Germanic Diet have returned to Frankforti and others are expected in a few days. It is be lieved they will shortly have confidential confer. ences for the discussion of the important objects which are to be deliberated upon in the Diet. " The spirit of opposition which prevails in.the old provinces of the Kingdom Of Wurtemberg, has again manifested itself in some representations against the rivancial Edict of the King: " There is no longer any talk of the Convoca tion of a new Wurtemberg Diet. " MADRID, SEPT. 23.—The forming a corps. d'Arm6e in Estramadura has given rise to reports of a rupture with Portugal, but the, removal of the. troops from Andalusia is believed merely to have arisen from the necessity of relieving the latter Province from the charge of their sub sistence. " It is known !►ere, that in the month of April last all the ports o►► the coast of Chili, and in the Viceroyalty of Lima, were declared by the loyal Government in a state of rigorous blockade, with the exception of Sainte Marie, Callao, and Colon. There is reason to believe, therefore, that tl►e In -6111 gents were masters of the interior, and that the object was to prevent their receiving succours by sea." A letter from St. Mary's, in an American Paper, dated August 23, says, with respect to 114GRE 00a and his party---" Time has not been any permanent additions to the original adventurers, though many have fallen off, and the whole num ber now does not exceed 80, three-fifths of whom are said to hold commissions, but serve in the ranks for want of men." ' The following fact, mentioned in our extracts yesterday from the l'aris Papers, is confirmed by its being posted this morning at LLOYD'S " The Jean Charles, of Nantes, from the Ha , vannah, has been taken by an Insurgent priva= Leer, off' Bermuda, and carried into Amelia Island." THE FUNDS.—This morning Consols opened at 82i, and at 12 o'clock were done at 8241, with many buyer's 6t that price. A further rise is ex pected before Settling D ty. The Exchequer Bills, at 2d per day interest, were this morning received at the Batik, and bear a premium of 16 to 17.

Those two magnificent houses, at the extreme points of New Sydney-place, have been engaged for the accommodation of this venerable, ami able, and illustrious Personage, and her suite.— Theabore information', which was receired in the early part of this week, has diffused the greatest pleasure and spirit through the vhole city, as it insures us an early and a full season. Bath has not been honoured by the presence of the QUEEN since the reign of Queen ANNE. it.adds to our satisfaction to learn that her MEJESTY has not to complain of any acute disorder, but resorts to our genial springs for their tonic virtues. The ac complished Princess ELlziaswrri attends her au gust rarent..--( Huth Herald, Oct. 10.) 11 EVENU E: We cannot now vouch for the accuracy of the subjoined article, which we have taken from a respectable Morning Paper, but We hope to con firm it on Monday, by presenting to our Readers amore ample statement. " The following is a comparative statement of the Net Produce of the Revenue of Great Britain in the Quarters ending on the 10th ►►f October, in the year 1816, and 1817 respectively : it is a rouni► sketch, And may possibly have admitted one or two slight clerical errors, but none Which can in any but the most inconsiderable degree affect the genetat results of the comphrison " CONSOLIDATED FLINI9. 1816. 1817.

Nor is this an accidental circumstance applving only to a particular object, or a single brand' of the Re venue. The improvement may be said to be al most general, with the exception of the Excise."

The Wrron - has : resided in this country four years by order of the Russian Go.- .. verritnent, in order to acquire information reso, ~pecting the state of this country, us regard to edn• cation and agriculture. His assiduous attention . to the objects of his investigation will enable bias to carry home with him the means of rendering, the most important services to the Emperor; and all truephilanthrop4ts must rejoice, tha.t.the tensive domittions of ALPLANDEA,May enjoK the benefits of instruction and civilization. The font youths were instructed in . the British . system of education, and their talents were such, that in five months from their lauding in England, they weft able to conduct the Centrfil School in the Bet. .rough-road, and to pa ss their examination in twee most satisfactory manner. As. they could not speak a word of English on their arrival, it is eti.' dent that the British system is most admirably cal. eulated to teach foreigners the language; for at, the expiration of that time ; they were, as above • stated, Able to conduct the school with correct- , ness, and to address the Russian Ambassador and the gentlemen present . good English. The Baton, with hit pupils, have since made a tour through England and Seotland. They have in• vestigated the Madras System, and visited all the 4chnols in their way, making the most minute inA quiries. They will proceed through ii'rance ) Switzerland, and Germany, on their stay home. The Baron is a man of intelligence and amiable manners. The youths are chosen, two froni • the Greek Church, and two Lutherans, from which ,eircunistancY it may he presumed that the enlightened mind of the Emperor is disposed .to extend he heuegts of education to all denomina tions of his subjects,.
