'TILL•' NATIONAL REGlsrrim

Papers have arrived from Ritton E.) to the 7th
inst. Further redaction of tk Army is said to be con-
templated by the American Government. Mr. Forbes,
the Consul General for the United States in Prussia
and Denmark, ha . returned home upon leave. Ac-
cording to the latest advices had reached Boston,
front the Brazils, great fears were entertained of an
insurrection in the northern districts of that kingdom ;
in.cousequence, new levies had been ordered by the Go-
vernment. Letters had been received from Buenos
Ayres, which speak of the detection of a fresh con-
spiracy to seize the person of the Director (Puyredon),
and to produce a change in the Government. The
Governor of St. Bartltulome►v's had detained, for the
benefit of the owners, a Portuguese vessel sent in by
one of the cruisers under the flag of Artigus. The
Captain of u Scottish vessel, seized on the coast of
Africa, by a British sloop of war for piracy, was ex-
ecuted at Fort Royal on the 7th of September. British
imports into the Nits of the Republic of Hayti are
stated to be sultjected to a duty of only five per cent. ;
whilst double that omount is levied on imports from nil
other countries. These Papers contu;n nothing new
from the Havannah, Mexico, or the Spanish Main.

Two Gentlemen arrived in town on Wednesday from
ratis, who left that city on Sunday morning. They
state that the greatest agitation prevailed in the public
rind, and that several English families, who bad ar-
ranged to remain iu France during the winter season,
had determined upon quitting, and was disposing of
their property, at a great loss, for that purpose; many
tht.t had no incumbrance had already taken their
departure, and every thing wore the most gloomy
appearance.

We understand that the greatest confusion continues
to exist amongst the Revolutionists at Buenas Ayres.
The mono• levied on the merchants was so extensive,
and carried into effixt with such a total disregard of
their circumstances, that it was attended with the
greatest distress. The British traders had been so
cruelly oppressed, that they made application to the
Naval Commander, Commodore Bowles, who had finally
come to the molution of dispatching an Officer to
England with the particulars, to request instructions.
The military preparations continued with the greatest
activity.

The Dutch Government has imposed an additional
duty on the tcnnagc of all English vessels at-living at
their different ports; by the existing regulation a eer-
taiu duty is paid by every vessel on her first entry fin.
the seeson, but how many voyages suever may be made,
an additional import is levied; by the new law the
same duty is to be paid every voyage, mud, therefore,
to ships visiting the Dutch ports live or six times in
the year, will prove a very heavy charge. Dutch vessels
are, however, we believe, subject ahead), to duties of a
similar nature in our ports. The new arrangement was
to continence and be in iiiree on the Ist of January.

The American .Papers informs us of an important
fact with respect to the Northern Bounilary line be-
tween Canada and the United States. The flirt built
on house's Point by the Americans since the peace, has
been determine:: by the Conunissimwrs to be on the
British side of the line. This is indeed an impartant
piece of intelligence ; us theap.ws's,ion of Fort House
places in our baodvh, key Xi communication between
Canada and the United States on the waters of Lake
Champlain ; and in case of war, set,ures to us an unin-
terrupted entrance iiito that Lake.
