FOREIGN ENLISTMENT BILL.

On this important subject, it cannot but be gra-
tifying to our readers to be made acqu -anted with
the conduct of a former Blitish Sovereign in a pa-
rallel ease. 11'e therefore insert, with little cont-
meta, the following extract from Watson's History
ilf Spain. Philip 111. page 108 :
" The Spaniards insisted that James should pre-
sent his subjects from eidering into the service of
the United States. The Spanish Ambassador said,
that his Master haul expected to find in his British
Majesty a good and faithful ally, and hoped to
have formed an offensive and•defenisive alliance with
him but if he was still determined. in imitation
df his predecessor, to give assistance to the rebels
in the Netherlailds, it was impossible but the Cd••
tholie King must consider him rather as an etienty
than a friend. The English Commissioners re-
plied, that their Master could not iota regard the
Dutch in the light of rebels; that their sovereignty
had been acknowledged by some of the greatest
Princes in Europe; awl the King had, nit his
accession, found isto dose a connexion subsisting
beineen them and his English subjects, as could
not be dissolved without considerable prejudice to
his kingdom he was therefore resolved to permit
them to make keret within his dominions us for-
merly, hut, us lee intended to preserve a strict new-
frailty, he was ready to grant the same permission
to the Archdukes and the King if Spain, and fur-
ther to engage that he should out send any of his
own troops to the assistance of the States, nor to
furnish them either with money or with military
*lmes. The Swims!' Commissioners, finding, after
several conferences, that all their renioustrances ou
this head proved ineffectual, were obliged to ac-
quiesce in the King's proposal."
• This'itse is exactly parallel null that of the Colo•
nies, excepting that their independence has not yet
been recognized. It is, however, in process of
being recognized ; and it is a fact, that the British
Government has had for some time an authorised
and iteursalitet: Consul at Buenos Ayres :—pas the
present Parliament less regard fur the political li-
berty of other States, and lOr the hest interests of
Huitish connuetce, tutsis was felt by James ? We
cannot bel'ieve that they will make is sacrifice which
Ire had the rirtoe and the patriotism to 'rinse.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1819.

—*Coedit Papers to the Ilth ult. contain the pant•
rulers of the capture of the Spanish ship Tiger,
Captain REVEIRA, Irons La thlira, by the Cons/i-
-ration, Buenos Ayres privateer, on the 10th of
May, in lat. 36. 19. long. 34. 30. The latter
ves►el had 114 men, tend carried 18 guns. It ap-
pears that Tiger mi►took the Constitutioa for a
Spanish ship of war, being of a large size and hearing
very much that oppeenatice, and made sail fur her,
but duel not discover the mistake until it was too late
to attempt an escape, although a very good sailer.
The Commander of the privateer ordered Captain
REYEIna, sod all the Spanish sailors, on board his
ship, and compelled theist to sign a written paper
which declared that they had been well treated by
him. The Tiger had sio specie on hoard; the crew
of the Constiitaint were not aware of this circum-
stance at first, bat being made acquainted with it,
appeared to be much disappointed. Two Spanish
merchantmen, under envoy of two armed brigs,
had just arrived at Cadiz, from Vera Cruz and the
flavaimali, with 100,000 dollars. Several vessels,
under the protection of a schooner, sailed for South
America about the same time.

We have received Paris Papers of Saturday
Last. iVe yesterday stated that the King of
FRAM*: had, by au Order in Council, permitted
111arshal SOULT, Lient.7Generul PIKE, Dltt•T,
REAL, and POMMEREITIL, 10 return to their native
country. We have now to add the names of the
Ex-Conventionalists FOUCHE (whom the Journal
des Debuts is particular its distinguishing from thy
celebrated Duke D'OTits NTO), ESCHASSERIAUX,
THA NA UO. and !AMA ILL A UD, as exiles to whom
his I‘l44esTv's clemency has been also exteoded.
This exercise of the Royal prerogative in *hewing
mercy to those who have beets uniformly considered
determined enemies to the BOURDON name, and to
the restoration of the Royal authority, has given
great umbrage to the Ultra-Royalists, and iii
some of the Riris Journals is even made a subject
of reproach and ridicule against the Keeper of
the Seals, who had on a recent occasion declared in
the Chamber of Deputies that that class of pantos,
among whom the names of Four:tie, EsctlAs.
SERU(' and THA BAUD were enrolled, should
never return to France. " Thus," remarks the
Gazette de France," this absolute and positive never
must be understood to signify in eight days."
The project of the law relative to the journals
and periodical writings was adopted in the Chamber
of Peers, on a division, by a majority of 142 to 14.
In the Chamber of Deputies the estimates of the
present year continue to Ire discussed. On Friday
the Budget for Foreign Affairs was examined. This
estimate amounts to a general sum of 8,000,000 fr.
from which M. RODE? proposed a retrenchment of
250,000 hr. born the expense of the organisation of
the bureaux; to reduce to three millions the el.-
proses of diplomatic agents ; and to take from the
snit, of 1,550,000 fr. the estimate of secret and
accessoiy service, 550,aiU0 fr. These proposed
siiiirnilinents were subsequently merged in other
amendments moved by %l. CHAUVELIN, which went
to make a reduction of about 1,000,000 fr. in the
entire, but the Chamber successively rejected throe
motions.—The further discussion was then adjourm-
ed to the following day.
Sundt, the murderer of KOTZEBUE, still lives at
; but lie becomes from day to day inure
feeble, so that no hopes are entertained of his final
ircovrry. His relatives and friends are admitted to
see him.

The French Five per Centv. are at GG f. GO

Velterday war a close holiday at the Stock Ex.
change ; but private bargains were done at 662.
A communication relative to the Loan is expected
this day ; for it is understood th•+t there is a meet-
ing of the Mini,ters to arrange the financial measures,
amount of the Loan, &c. Meanwhile the Ex-
changes are becoming more favourable.

Letters from Cadiz to the 11th May have heen
received. On the preceding evening gaited Iron
that port the San 7 helato and Alexandra ships of
war, and the Preens frigate. The destination of
this little squadron, whose sailing has been frequent-
ly ordered and co 00000 ermanded, is understood to be
Luna. The vessels were separated train those con-
stituting the grand expedition, and additional exer-
tions used to limtest their equipment, as P 001) 143
