M. de Massenbach has renounced all kind of defence, acknowledged himself guilty, and thrown himself entirely apon the cledeney of the King. " AlADfilll, N0v.11.--The King, tt; reliktve the agricultural interests 'cif some Of the Provinces, has permitted the exportation of 500,000 fanegai of - *beat by Santander, and of 400,000 by Za mora,. subject to a dtity of 4 realsper fanega. I3ettow, Nor. 10.--the Council of Stare iz • , about to as emble here, notwithstanding the ab sence.of the Prince de Hardenb'erg, to deliberate upon Financial Affairs of the highest importance. " intelligence 'from Russia received to-day states, that the Emperor 'of Russia proposes to rettrrn for some ivetis try St.Petersburgh, and then to proceed again to Moscow." 13y the Leeward Island Mail, arrived this morn ing, we have received Letters from St. Thomas's of the 20th ult., which state the continued arrival there of vessels laden with rnerchandize. A ship had sailed for the River Oronoko to ascertain from Admiral BRION the situation lie was placed in. No movements were intended at the Island Omit the return 01 the shit, , oh. had Liq.n g9ne three weeks at the time of writing the above letters, and was daily expected back. No direct communication had been received at St. Tho mas's from the Main, but reports were highly favourable to the independent cause. Merchan dize of every description was daily increasing. Letters from Grenada, of the 19th ult. arrived this morning, state, that the inhabitants of the Island were in a very sickly state, and that the deaths were daily Increasing. The Insurgent Privateers swarmed round the Island. The Ellice transport, froth London for tar, Was totally lost on the toast of Galicia : Lieutenant WALLts, of the 60th Regiment, .and about 30 people, drowned. The French Ministers and their agents seem td make a great clamour against the continuance of the Army of Occupation in the French Dominions. It is difficult' to say or to guess whether this Cla mour is sincere, or whether it is intended to flatter the pride of the Frencikpecple. It however requires little sagacity to predict that - the removal of. the Allied Troops from the French territories would be the signal for a new Revolution. It is whis pered in Pails that an English Newspaper is in the pay of.the French Government, and that an English Agent from that Paper daily attends the Prc n c Minister, iu reCCITC OflitS of viliat 13 t t)c sent for publication in • the Eugrsh Journal, thus retained to be the channel of such opinions, and the suggestion of such measures, as the French Cabinet mean subsequently to adopt. As to the report that an English Newspaper has en tered into so despicable a service as that of being under the pecuniary influence of the French Go vernment, it is impossible to give any credit to it. If any English Newspaper could so far degrade itself, and the fact became generally known, there would be at 'once an end to its importance. The people of this country could no longer look to t kb confidence, hut would, indeed, regard it with very different feelings, nor would it then be worth the patronage of the French Government, since all that such a Paper published would "zle sup posed to be dictated by that Government. Besides, what would our Government think of such a Paper, which . , if under foreign influence, might be expect ed to employ it injuriously to the honour and in terest of the British For our part we con sider, the report as wholly unfounded, except in that wanton malignity which unfortunately is too often found in frail human nature. The mat ter is, however, a proper subject for inquiry, as it so strongly affects the character of the English Press. It is reported, but apparently without sufficient authority to induce belief, that the King of SPAIN has been advised to grant a free trade to the Re volted COlonies, and to make such concessions as may enable him, if not to retain them in subjec tion, at least to secure to him a preference of com mercial intercourse between the two Countries. It is said also that the KING has given his consent to this proposed arrangement. From all that has yet transpired on this interesting and important subject, the measure thus suggested is the best policy that the Spanish Government could adopt. It is hardly possible to suppose that Spain will finally regain its Sovereignty overlhose 'Colonies, and if it could, it would probably be held ,only for a few' years. All circumstances consider ed, the . events which have happened are ex actly what might be expected, and it is no proof of servile attachment to the British Go vernment to say, that it has shewn a very wise policy, in ❑ot, directly or indirectly, taking any part in the dispute. 'As for the British Officers . who have engaged in the affair, they have em barked in a hazardous speculation, and whatever may be the ultimate result, can expect to derive ~,, _~ . advfintage from the occasion. Tlie native PqtriOts will hare dependents enough &their o*n to provide , and are not likely'to grye a prefer'. ence to .those Min do not even 'Underttaud their language, and who, from their 'profession, will not be capable of much use, when militaty as sistance shall no longer be required. The Horning Chronicle, , paying high .cOMpli tnents to Mr. BEN-m.l:a, states 0141 thilt man had offufed his services to the 'United States of America, and ro the 1-47,tnpertor of RUSSIA, to draw tlp a complete botiv of law. The offer was not aecepted by either party; anti The Chronicle states, " that with respect to Russia,. 'Mr. BENT HAM soon found it was a fundamental principle of the modern Holy League, that in the hands of the ruling and sub-ruling few, the nearer the con dition of the subject many can be brought to the condition of the beasts of the field, the better it will be for the interests, teniporal as well as eter ,nal, of all parties.'We submit to the public, whether there was ever a more indecent and a more fallacious effusion of Jacobinical malevolence; particularly, too, as it is well known that the , Emperor of RUSSIA is incessantly endeavouring to improve his empire and enlighten his people. Mr- BENTHAM is implicated in this slander, inasmuch as it is asserted that he found the rejection of his offer arose from the grounds above stated. But indeed the malignity that could conceive such a falsehood, might have audacity or cunning •enough to cover it under his name and authority. The Rule Nisi obtained by WooLga to get aside e striking of the Jury in his,case at the Crown- Office, was this morning discharga in the Court of King's Bench, which decided that the Jury hart been fairly chosen. Wootxß's Trial, therefore; stands for the Sittings after Ter►+. We copied from The Morning Chronicle an•arti cle relative to the Prince of ORANGE. The fol lowing contradiction appears in a Paper of this day:—" We are enabled to assure the public, on. the hest.antlioriiy, that the Prince of Orange, so tar from spewing the want of feeling ascribed to him in a letter from. Mussels, in The Morniag Chronicle of Tuesday, gave the ,most .affecting proofs of deep and heartfelt sorrow on the late melancholy event. The Princess . - . of ORANGE no sooner heard of it, than her Imperial Highness put herself unto mourning, as well as all the Ladies of her household,"--(Times.) Letters received yesterday froM Malta mention tisent (1,11C11:41 ail na a 1+.,.t ;" for Corfu., Tratie at that Island was unusually . . With respect to the Dutch C(ilonies . in the East, we believe them to be in great• danger of being entirely lost to - Holland. Fresh accounts were received in town yesterday relative to the affairs of the Dutch Settlements, brought by a -vessel ar rived at Liverpool, which kit Java on the 4th ' August. Through her we learn, that after the massacre of the Canoe Expedition, sent from Ann boyna ;against Saproai the. Amboyuese had got nearly complete possession of the island, and compelled the Dutch inhabitants to seek shelter under the forts. These fortified situations had been frequently attacked by the natives, who had been rendered bold and desperate, and who, ex traordinary as it may appear, actually waged war under British colours. Wnen the Company's ship Antelope left Saproa in July, it was expected that the natives would hare complete possession of the island in a few days. To this unpleasant infor mation, so far as regards .the Dutch, we have to add, that the whole of the Celebes and the Mo. lueca Islands have manifested a,similar spirit of disaffection ; and no trifling apprehensions were entertained for the safety of Java itself. We are authorised to state, that the- Gentleman who superintended the musical department of `IHE OPERA Housz last season, relinquished his con nexion with it when the season closed. We are induced to state this fact, because, otherwise, it might be conceived that he had some concern in the proposed reduction of the salaries of the Mu sical Performers, at a time whenthe subscriptions were augmented. The truth is, that the Gentle man alluded to actually.objected tektite proposed redaction, .and his opposition- to this measure ; and other infringements em his authority in . the department in question, led to his resignation of an office which no professional character is better qualified to discharge' ithcredit -to himself and to the advantage of any establishment in which he might engage. The Letter, signed ANTI-PARA SITE, which appeared in Tne Son of Tuesday last, gave occasion to this stateme:it and these obser vations. Letters from St. Thomas's, dated October 9, are said to state, that accounts from La Guira mention that Mortmt.o, _after evacuating Marga rita, returned .to the Main, aiAtl ‘ iremediately de ter Mined to send those forces he had left to Va lencia and the Valleys of Aragta, towards which quarter they went, some passing tbrotigh - Caracas, awl the others through Puerto C..-ell°. It is suppoSed they are intended to hold Generals PAEZ and SARAZA .10 check, who had assumed an irn• posing attitude: In Caracas,it believed that the only reason which prevented theindependents from entering U e capital was the overflow of the Llanos (Plains) in consequence of the heavy rains. —This impediment would, however, cease at the end of November, or the beginning of December. It was reported that General Oar.riart had moved on towards Santa Ftl, where, if he should arrive, he will certainly be %veil received, as'Mortit:Lo and his army have left very unfavourable impressions behind Wm, in that country. tint: lf iJE, • I - , /kr.% 'BAT U, Morniag --L-Ft - oin the heavy state of the roads, and the unpleasantness of the latter part of the day, Monilay,it having rained almost incessantly front the time the Royal party left Marlborough, the QUEEN experienced consi derable fatigue. Yesterday Morning, however, .the answer to the outiterous enquiries of the No bility and Gentry, at her house in Sydney-place, was, that she had enjoyed a good night, and•wal in a great degree 'recovered front the fatigue of her. journey. From the brilliancy of the morning it was ex pected.that her M Weitild have he‘,2n tempt ed abroad, and in conseipence, the neighbom -. hood of her .residence was thronged with coot patty during the gi.eatei part of the day, but th(-y• %vete not gratified by her apPearance. She did nth leave the house the t;rhofe day. About twelve o'clock, his Royal Highness the Duke of CLA- , REI4CE called at the QuEENrs house, to enquire after her AIAJESTY.'S health, and shortly after wards, the Royal Duke and her Royal Highness, the Princess ELtZABETH, accompanied by Lady. lI.CHESTER, walked out for about an hour through some of the principal streetS. Doting their pro , greSs they were attended by a number of,persons, _whose salutations they very graciously returned. The detachment of the 38th Regiment now ly ing here, undzir the comma(' of Colonel MotaA, pro le»ipore, in the absence of Sir C. GREVILLE, mount a guard of 50 Men constantly at the Sydney • Hotel, opposite the end of Great flulteney-stieet, and their band played several pieces of martial mu sic during yesterday morning. DISTRESSING CIRCUMSTANCE. (From " The AlornivgPost.") The following distressing circuniStanee is re lated in a letter from Prince Edward's Isknd, dated Oct. 1,1817, received in town yesterday:--- AboOt a week since was stranded, on the Bar of New London Harbour, in this island, the brig Harriett, HANNAH, master, from Dublin,wirh passengers, and it is.•said bound to Quebec, an - I from-thence to this island, to load whit timber, ont eleven weeks., They were seven weeks intio s Gulf, attempting to get ,to Quebec, and got as tar as Gaspee. Previous to that, several bad died Kith 'sickness. arid famine from a long passage ; all the provisions which the passengers had laid is bad been exhausted some weeks previous to their a rrival . at Gaspee, when the master then own rne'need to make- his fortune upon their miseries, by charging them ar the most extravagant rate for every pound of bread, and the fresh fish that could be occasionally caught, in like manner, MA per 'pitting them to catch any themselves. A Mr. O'HAnA, at G,aspee, was a true and generous fri e i o l to these poor creatures, by compelling the master to procure a vessel to take forty of them- Qoebec ; twenty of them, who, from their re duced state, were landed and left in' tbe.woods at Gaspee, and the remaining passengers on board, between fifty and sixty, were furnished by Mr. O . IIARA, with tlAce days provisions, allowiott OC now:, to tits I s l a nd ; an d, io a measure to end their stifleri.,_, ashure at New .f.ondoo-, where they were received by the inhabitants with the greatest homanity,who lodged, fed them, and gave them every comfort wit hin•their power. One instance ought to be mentioned, viz.—One of the families on board, consisted of husband aild wife, with ten children ; the.father was unable to pay for two of .his chilli ren (boys)., but.io considetation of the father hav ing pint for all the rest, the Master agreed to take the whole family (the boys in question). After sailing from Dublin, they had occasion 14 call at a distant port, where the master 'net wit 4 two persons who wished to take ,their passage at 5/..each ; to accommodate these men, the Cap tain landed the two boys, contrary to the most: solemn entreaties of their parents, Anil sailed, leaving the boys on the wide world. The mother died shortly after on the passage, with grief -awl distraction, .and one of .the children. Several af fidavits have been toads respecting the CaPraio's 'conduct, and sent to his Excellency the Lieute nant-Governor at Quebec, who, ] have no doubt, will take the proper means to bring the C4plaia to justice." DREADFUL NASSACRE.—The fUl!Ovriag stab merit of a rudst shacking; event is extracted from letter received from Cochin, dated May 14, 1817 " An alarming accOnnt has been brought. here 1” 1 three Arabs who arrived a few days ago.
