HANOVIIIR, NOVEMBER '23.
A very remarkable Proclamation has been issued
jut the native of his Royal Highness the Prince Re.
gent respecting the arrears of interest due from the
Treasury upon money lent to it, that is to say,
such interest as became due during the time of the
French Administration, viz. from the let January,
1807, to the lit November, 1813, though it may
be reasonably doubted whether the Treasury he in
'equity bound to pay the said arrears, because the
revenue destined for the payment had become the
prey of the enemy ; yet his Royal Highness wishes
that the creditors may be iodemisified as far as the
ability of the domains will allow, and without too
much distressing his faithful *object!, this ills Royal
Highness hopes may be done, though it is im-
possible to Six at present either the quantum
or the prittrili of payment, on account of the
numerous exismitiations and ligiiiiiations that
Must find be made. His Royal Highness can-
not allow some creditors to obtain an uudue
Advantage above others, by recurring to legal pro-
cess ugr.:lit the Treasury ; he, therefore, forbids any
action fur the re-payment of interest due in the
above-mentioned period to be bruOght against the
Treasury,• whether the loan was tirade before or
during the hostile occbpation. No alteration is
tirade respecting arrears of interest due before or
once that period ; no Court of .Justice to receive
ally action against the Treasury for the recovery of
'such interest, and actions already commenced
shall be suspended. This Ordinance to re-
main in force till his Royal Highness shall or-
(Will how far, and in what manner, • payment
or the said arrears shall take plue, which his Royal
Highness assures shall be as spee,ly us possible.
The above Proclamation has not had the least
unfavourable influence in the value of the paper
currency, as was apprehended, paitly because the
public look with confidence to the fiord disposi-
tious, and partly because they are convinced that
the withdrawisig of the principal will soon be in
their powei.—( flumburgh Correspondent.)

We have received Paris Papers of Wednesday
and Thursday lust. They contain the extract from
the Protocol of the late Congress, extending the
time for paying the French contributions, which
has already appeared in this Paper. Further ru-
mours are uttered respecting some alleged demands
of Prussia form) increase of territory, such as should
afford ii direct communication betiscen her territories
oil the Elbe and her late acquisitions on the Rhine ;
but note ithrtanding the almost proverbial insa-
nity of Prussia, we are not disposed to give
implicit credit to there asrertios:s.—The removal of
the Allied Ariny of Occupation from France has
produced no change in the respectful attentions of
the Court of the Tlmilleri s to the Duke of WEL-
t.lsicireN. A gu..tal of honour was assigned to
him, as was usual during the continuance of his
military command, but his Grace thought proper
to decline it.

The French Funds fell considerably on Mon•
day last, being at one part of the day sr) low as
67 franc.s. A piivant letter of Thursday, however,
say., dist on the following morning some of the
principal capitalists in Paris sign.tird their inten-
tion of taking ell the unksiidated stock at 69.
under certain (.011.4601:s. Tisia they elfeved, and
the funds are said to have in consequence recovered

The Empress Dorrager of Rums left us this morning for
Marbunrg, thinking she should find the Electoral Princess
of Beset at
.Hanao. lire Majesty supped yesterday with
the King and Queen of Wirtemberg, from wh she took a
most affectionate leave. Their Majesties set out dm morn-
ing for Swiped, at three o'clock.
The Grand Duke see off at eleven for Warsaw, whither
he will proceed without stopping. Prince Michael departed
at the same time to join the Emperor at Carlsriihe. The
Journal of this city contains, under the head of Liege, the
following article :—" This is the sum of the several private
accounts hitherto received relatively to the plot discovered
(but not yet unveiled) at Brussels. While the Bonapartists
■nd the Ultras reciprocally do each other the honour of
the invention, and others, desirous of guarding the na-
tional character from every appearance of it stain, think that
the whole is founded on the expressions of some pertains in

Lion, and the Government continues to follow ■ per-
fectly composed sod dignified course. Certainly the ob-
ject which is announced never could have been attained;
but there would not have been needed all the means em-
ployed to effect much mischief, had it been only by im-
plicating the most respectable names; as fur the project of
seizing on the Emperor, setpoints hitherto concur to au-
thorise a belief that it was really entertained, either to make
use of him as an hostage for Bonaparte, or to make bins re-
cognise his son ; or, lastly, as some would have us believe,
merely to rub him."

We have received Charleston Papers to the Ist

Capt. Bissell, who arrived here on Wednesday from Fort
Royal, has favoured us with a Ate of Martinique Papers to
the 30th of September. They give an account of a hurri-
cane experienced on the island on the 21st and 22d of Sep-
tember, which will be found below i and in a Paper of the
26th is an Ordinance, in the name of the King, which an-
nounces that the exportation of flour and cod fish will be
allowed, and that of Indian meal, rye Sour, and rice, super-
seded until further orders. It has been very sickly in the
ports of Martinique.

On Monday morning about two o'clock,a heavy sea
(ras de marie) began to break on the shore, and inereased in
violence until to-day when it appears to have nearly sub-
sided,fortunately there were no French vessel, in onr harbour
except three or four drogers, who sailed on Monday fore..
noon fur Fort Royal, where they ought to have arrived
before the storm. The only vessel lost was the American
brig Mango Park ; her effects were, however, saved.
The wind began to blow from N.W. and shifted to W. and
S.W. It increased last night, and was accompanied with
heavy rain; it is now lulled, but the rain continues. Some
booms situated in the (haulier do Ftguier were shaken from
their foundations. The Ste has swept away I of the
sheds erected on the shore. The trees of Bertea's-aquare have
been torn up, and otherwise destroyed ; the shore is covered
with wreck. We are as yet igourant whether the plantations
have suffered.

Oar apprehension■ respecting the fate of the plantations
are entirely dinipated. The damage caused by the storm is
very trifling. The town of Fort Royal has not suffered the
least; and none of the vessels lying in the harbour have ex-
perienced any damage, except the French schooner L'Alevie,
from Porto-Rico, which was cast away on the Poste des
Tournelles--tbs crew were saved.

The Redwing, 18, Captain HUNN, will sail

Saturday morning arrived at Portsmouth the
Saracen, 18. Captain JOHN Goaa (b), from Ber-
muda, in 18 days, to be paid off. She came in
with a yellow flag fl) ing, and was put under qua.
rantine, in consequence of a remittent bilious fever
prevailing there ; but when she left the island the
disorder was fast subsiding. The Harrier, Sir
CHARLES JONES, was to sail the next day (17th
October) for England, with dollars and cochineal
on board, and may he hourly expected. The Lean-
