LONDON,
WEDNESDAY. OCTOSEIL 9. 1822.

It is stated in a Paper or yesterday that the at-
tendance of the Duke of WELLINGTON at Conger.'
will be mere matter of etiquette; that his Grace
will deliver a communication with which he is
charged; but that he will take no part in the
conferences. This indeed would be letting down
the Great Captain of the age with a vengeance !
An ordinary courier dispatched to the Maiquis of
LONDON DERay would answer the purpose equally
well. if it be meant that his Grace will take no
efficient or influential part in the conference., we
acquie.re in the statement, because we
.believe the
Sovereigns will have their own way. and that it will
be only for his Grace to give his assent to their de-
termination. We are nut aware that the late Mar-
quis or LONDONDERRY did more at the Congress
of Vicuna, and we do not expect more from his
mouton:or at ‘'etiorts.

The new Constable Act, one of the legislative
;ensures of Ira Seaton ter imp:Wiest the Internal

Nor trOaodo trill pose be tidied iota tifeet.
Its operation will be confined to the province of
Monster, the scene of the present outrates. Major
WiLcociti has been pi-it'd at the bead of the Ms.
gistrates and Constables employed tinder the Act
in that prosiime. One of the ever, asserts, that
in the distribution of places wider it, o,,vernineut
has abandoned all idea of patronage, end that merit
will he the only title admitted to ab uppiiintment
of any rank whatever. This protonic at the outiot
will probably be fulfilled: we hope it duty never
be violated.

The Second Report of the Select committee of
the House of Commons upon our Foreign Trade
has been printed. The Committee have s. 'coed;
as the first objects of their itivestittation, the Light
Does, Trinity Dues, BsHostage, Surplus Pilionei
and the Ramsgate and Dover Harbour Dues;
which appear to be burdens pressing heavily upon
the navigation and commerce of the country. A
portion of this document, which is of coiiiiderable
length, Is given in another part of our Paper.

A Ministerial Paper of la.t evening contained
the fallowing extract from a private letter :

I' ?AIM, OCTOCIIM 3.

" M. do Chatesubris•d will leave P,ris on Friday near.
ghat is to say, to•morrow, to proceed to the Congress of
Teresa. This precipitate departure is attributed to the
arrival of so extryoritinary count r yesterday at the Depart-
ment for Foreign Affairs. Our Cabinet has much dirfieoly
is believing the reality of the Duke of 11'ellingiou's
position ; some doubts were even expressed on this point
is the Cursed held yesterday, and this appears to excite
Isles*. disquietude. The fear was musifested that England
was nut entirely to accord with the French Government
relative to Spain, snd it was supposed, whether right or
wrong 1 know not, that in travelling gas he does by
easy stages, the Duke of Wellington had in emitenipla.
lion an interview at Tegernseis, with the Emperors of
Austria sod Russia, previously In ►olding ronissonies-
lion with soy one of the French Fleulpoiestiaries. You
ought to know how far this suppositious is cornet. With
respect to myself, it appears to me to he within the pale of
possible things, fur it is mo►e particularly the commence-
ment of hostilities with Spain that certain men most ir-
rstionstly desire. if, indeed, the veal motive which has
prevented the Christi's' Princes frost taking part with
the Greeks ►es been the fear of seeing was stirred sp in
Europe, is it possible that the same relation does sot exist
with regard to Spoilt ? This groestios answers itself. Ose
circumstance concurs to phew how enter!, a war with Spats
is desir,d. It is known that M. de Yillele has wisely sail
unceasingly opposed it in the Council, and, in consequence,
issionstlows are commenced against this upright Minister.
During several days pest, it has bees circulated is the Sa-
loom., that he is in active correspondence with M. de Talky-
reed, sad that the latter cusiducts the Ministry through his
medium. Judge how far this Is probable."

a frigate, having under convoy twenty sail from
Jamaica, put into flavannah on the 16th August."
To sail with convoy, as our readers know, is a very
inconvenient mode of protection.
LIVERPOOL, OCTORIIR 6.—Extract of ■ private
letter :—" There are four vessels arrived at this
port from Yew York this day ; but, in conse•
'pence of the prevalence of fever in that town, the
ships are placed under quarantine until it own he
ascertained whether the crew and passengers be in
a healthy state."
The repeated outrages committed upon our Wrst
Indio commerce, and the apathy with which they
have been viewed by Minister., have raised the re-
Rl)* premiums of insurance to Jamaica stud oilier
West India Islands from thre to five per cent. It
is really surprising that Ministers, with such ample
means of protection in their power, should leave our
commerce thus exposed to' increasing depredation.
A further rise in insureoce must attend the Conti-
nuance of this neglect.
