LOND±MONDAY, Sen. it 2,, 1822.

His Grace the Duke of 6411601 MM is ex-
pected to sail on the Ciiis instant, in the Adlee
frigate. Capt. A. Km], for Jamaica. We tinder-
stand his Excellency is anxious to reach the seat of
his government previous to the meeting of the
Legislative House of Assembly, as he has to pro-
pose (on the suggestion of Government) that the
troops employed for the defence and preservation of
the Island shall be in future paid out of its reve-
nue., and not by the Government. If this reason-
able proposition could be carried into effect in all
our Colonies, the country would be relieved from a
heavy burden at the present moment. Mr. Hume
(we recollect) has promised to submit it to Perlis-
went early in the next Session.

It is said that Vice. Admiral Sir WILLIAM JOHN-
STONE Hoes (at present one or the Lords of the
Admiralty), will succeed Sir GRAHAM Moores, in
the command in the Mediterranean.

On Tbeaday the Alligator, 28, Captain T. ALEX.
A N vga,B.C. arrived at Portsmouth from Woolwich,
fitted for the East India station. She expected to
sail yesterday, should the wind continue fair, taking
dispatches to Bengal. It is believed that the Mar-
quis of HASTINGS is on his passage home, in the
Glasgow frigate.

It is amid there is a falling off in the prodoce of
the Revenue or the present quarter, to the amount
of 200,0001. This is not • greater diminution
than might be expected from the late reduction of
lazes.

We have received the Paris Papers to the 20th
inst. A report prevailed in the beginning of the
week in that city, that forged bills of the Batik of
France were in circulation. It appears to have
made a considerable sensation, and excited serious
apprehensions, as we find the Directors of the Bank
found it necessary to give it a formal contradiction.
The following are extracts :

PARIS, SEPTEMBER 19.
The King has issued an Ordinance, by which
the Royal Polytechnic School is placed under the
patronage of his Royal Highness the Duke of An-
gouleme, and under the control of the Secretary of
State for the Interior. General the Count de Bor-
demult is appointed Governor, and Baron Rohault
de Fleury Sub-Governor of the Polytechnic
School.

A report is current that the existence of secret
associations in several Cantons of Switzerland, tin-
der various denominations, and particularly under
that of 7he-Society of Regeneration, has attracted
the attention of foreign Powers. Similar associa-
tions are said to have been organised upon the fron-
tiers of the Milanese.

letters from Toulon, of September 13, state, that
there was talk of the formation of a camp for le,ooo
men, to extend from Bedart as far as St. Jean de
Lux. A conspiracy was also said to have been dis-
covered, which had been framed by some French
refugees in Spain, in conjunction with some of the
Descamisados.

The appeal of the six individnels condemned in
the affair of Saumur has been laid before the Court
of Cessation.

Count Sebastiani sad Baron Pasquier are arrived
at Geneva.

An absurd report has prevailed for two days past
that forged notes of the Bank of France were in
circulation ; this statement was contradicted to-day
by the Directors of the Bank, by whose orders bills
of every description have been paid u usual.—
( Etoile of the itilth.)
The Nuremberg Correspondent, in an article un-
der the head of Switzerland, says, the Priuce Royal
of Sweden set out on the sth of September for Con-
stance, by Roschach. Prince Eugene, Madame
(la Marechale) Ney, and General Bertrand, were
also expected at Arrnsberg. The Duchess Hor-
tense de St. Leu, it wassaid, intended to give seve-
ral fetes to the last-mentioned distinguished persoca.

FROM THE FRONTIERS OF SPAIN, ARM 11.

Official intelligence has been this moment re-
ceived that the third battalion of the regiment Ma-
tsfloride, which forms the siege of Cardona, have
captured the convoy of provisions and ammunition
which the Constitotionelistadispatcbed from Barce-
lona for that place; which will soon fall into the
hands of the Royalists.

The guerillas of Zabel*, Oltenia, and T.ltrongi,
are daily increasing; they hare about 1.200 men
tinder their orders. A Provisional Junta has just
been established at Guiptiscoa, on the plan of that
of Navarre, and all the young men answer its appeal,
and enrol themselves under the standard of the
Faith. With the exception of Irun, Tolosa,
gam, Mondragon, Durango, Bilbo•, and Vittoria,
the Royalists are masters of all the country.
It is affirmed that General Rippe, who is now
at Tolosa, is about to assume • command in the
Army of the Faith. Several other Generals of
distinction are also destined to carry ou the military
operations, which will riecestarily take place in the
Biscuyan provinces. Charles O'Donnel, who is at

..11.11116

Bayonne, is one of those Generals. His two sons
arrived on the Bth in the tamp of Irati.
Letters are expected from Biscay; those who
commend the royalist guerillas will endeavour to
make themselves masters of all the roads, so that
nothing should pass without inspection. Any
matter relating solely to commerce shall meet with
no impediment; the greatest vigilance, however,
will be exercised fur the purpose of getting posses-
sion of funds coming from abroad, and arising
from loans.

A letter from Valladolid, of the 6th, states that
the event• which are passing upon the left bank of
the Ebro have • powerful influence upon the
great majority of the people of the two Castile.,
who arc nut favourable to the new system.

motalststo, SEPTUM& 12.
Private letters from Vienna contain the follow.
ing paragraphs :—lt is believed here that the @Mire
of Turkey end Greece, as well as those of Spain,
will form subjects of deliberation in Congrevv.
With respect to the first, a Minister is said to have
expressed himself in the following manner
" Turkey is a vast mosses, which, being reclaimed,
might yield a rich harvest; but if we contribute to
do this, are we sure we shall ether the fruit ? It
might happen that others would reap the advan-
tage. It is better then to leave the morass in its
present condition."

It is certain thst the Duke of Wellington can
supply the Congress with valuable documents re-
latively to Spain, as his campaigns there have made
him well acquainted with the country and its inha-
bitants. M. de Tatitscheff, the Russian Minister
at Vienna, has also a perfect knowledge of Spain.
It will be recollected that he resided at Madrid
previous to the revolution, that is, until the year
180, and what influence he possessed with King
Ferdinand. M. de Tatiischeff is acquainted with
the secret springs, the views, and resources of the
different parties, and the personal inclinations of
the King and the Infants.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday contain the
official Bulletins promised by the Constitutiwonel,
detailing the success of the Greeks' in driving the
Turks out of the blorea. They are given in our
preceding columns.

Dutch and Bayonne Papers arrived yesterday,
from which we have made entracte.

A Flanders mail arrived at a late hour last night,
with Papers of the gist. The following are ex-
tracts :....

BROSSELS, SEPTEMBER 19.

Yesterday evening a BeitishCabinet messenger
passed through this city; he came from London,
and was going in all haste to Vienna, to carry
thither the intelligence of the appointment of Mr.
Canning to the office of Secretary for Foreign
Affair', in the room of the late Marquis of Lon-
donderry. The Duke of Welliogton wished for
this nomination to be made before he set out for
Vienna. We imagine that his Grace left London
about the 17th.

The Committee appointed by his Majesty lost
March, to consider of measures fo► the relief of
agriculture, and of which Baron Roell is President,
has terminated its lubours, and has just presented
its report to the King.

AIX-LA-CIIAPELLE, SEPTEMBER IL

We received a letter from the southern fron-
tiers of Russia, which says, that the claims brought
forward by the Ottoman Cabinet to the fortresses
in Asia which are in the power of Russia, have
greatly excited the attention of the Cabinet of St.
Petersburgh. It should seem that General Jerrna-
luff who commands in Georgia, has received orders
from the War Minister to detach same troops to
reinforce the garrisons of the Russian fortresses in
Circassia. It is added, that measures of precaution
will al.ci be sdopted for the safety of the fortresses
situated between the Euzine and the Caspian Seas,
as well as of those in Russian Moldavia.

NUREMBERG, SEPTEMBER 11.

We learn from Vienna that the Aulic Council
has just sent to the War Department an order to
raise all the regiments of infantry in the Austrian
army to their full complement. This measure most
be carried into effect about the end of September,
or at the beginning of October at the farthest. h
is observed that the corps formed by the Lsndwehr
are exempt from this measure; they are not to be
embodied this year, as has long been usual in
A ustria.

COMA LI EV RN, the Ituasian Ambassador, left
town on Saturday morning to join the Ellit MOIL at
Verona. It is well kumeti that his Excellency,
during the long discussions respecting Turkey, has
acted a very prominent part.
It is industriously rumoored that the office of
Secretary at War will be abolished. Lord PAL-
I!!! ?ASTON lv to resign upon a pension and a peerage.
The pension, however, is but to equal one moiety
of his present emoluments, the other moiety to be
made up to his Lordship from another source.—
(Evening Paper.)
Saturday was a holiday kept both at the Boot
and the Stock Exchange; the transactions in the
funds were therefore codined to private bargains,
of which very few were effected, and only one, we
believe, of-any magnitude, which was in Consuls for
to-morrow, at the price of 81.
It is observed that the amount of capital applied
to speculations in Foreign Stock, and which is
thereby withdrawn from a similar employment in
the English funds, is daily increasing, so much so,
as to threaten a very serious diminution to the busi•
uess of the Steck Exchange.
