LONDON:

SUNDAY, DECEMBER :27,1818.

Wit yesterday received a series of Boston Papers to
the 27th, Halifax and Newfoundland dates to the .24th
ult. The intelligence from the British Provinces is of
the most agreeable description. The trade of the Co-
lonies is represented to be most flourishing ; the ac-
counts from Halifax state, that the wharfs were all
bustle with the great traffic carrying on with the West
India Islands, the consequence of the late Acts of the
British Legislature.—The Paper of the 14th Nov.
gives a long detail of the beneficial effects already ap-
parent, and mentions these as being the consequence of
the strict adherence to the British Colonial System ; at
the same time expresses a fear that the Commercial
Treaty in negociation in London might alter the pre-
s,nt state of the intercourse.

The fillowing are extracts from these Papers :
From the Boston Paper of the :27th.—" Accounts
from La Guira state, that the Patriots were again as.
Ecmbled on the plains of Calaboza, and that Mardi°,
the [loyalist Chief, had made a requisition on Carac-
cas of •00,000 dollars, 4000 inch, and 400 undcs

From the Newfoundland Ceutinel of the.6th Nov.—
" The vveather has been so wet and unfavourable for
the last fortnight or three weeks, that in some in-
ttaacoa we are told it has been found necessary to re-
saove the half cured fish frem the flakes back again to
the stages to be re-salted, as the only meansof preserving
it from being wholly spoiled. Should the weather
continue as ut paesent, this plan must be generally
adopted. The catch of fish this season on almost every
Fart of the coast, has been considertioly snort of the

Trr NATVINAT, trAlXvrEn.

nasal cuantity, end we hardly know of en instance in
which those engaged iu the fishery have not been
severe loosers."

Letters have been delivered from New York to the
SOtli ult. which represent the nommercial afruirs of the
United States as being in a very bad condition, in
consequence of the continual scarcity of money in all
parts of the Union. In the States of Ohio, the bunks
hal been compelled to suspend their cash payments, and
it was expected that those of Kentucky would be obliged
to fallow the same ex truple. The American 6 per
Cents. at New Yok were 101 ; but when the dividend
now due on them should be paid, the Stock would be
reduced to 2 per Cent. below par Very extensive
pules of the United States Bank Stock bud been made
between the 20th and 3Jth of November, ,ind it is quot-
ed in the latest letters ut 109.

The private letters received from Baltimore mention
a cireuinstanae of considerable importance. They state
that the privateering, under the Insurgent fig of
Soutn America, might be considered at an end; that
the American Attorney General had arrived at that
port, and had libelled twenty individuals, who had,
contrary to the laws of the United States, embarked in
these undertakings.

We have received New Providence Gazettes to the
mildle of November. We a7e sorry to state, that the
Bahama Islands were visited by a severe hurricane in
October. The following are the particulars :
" NAss.su, OCT. 1.-0:1 Wednesday was experienced
here a very severe gale of wind, aecompaned wi h in-
cessant rain, which has done considerable damage to
the shipping in the harbour but providentially much
less than its violence at one time threatened ; it began
in the morning from the N. E. bid did not blow so as
to excite much attention until mid-day, when the
wind began gradually to veer round, increasing as it
went to the N. W. from which point it raged with its
greatest force, from 3 till 5. At sun set it began
to abate. The sky at tLat time, however, assuming
an alarming appearance, forming an entire canopy of a
pale flame colour, while the sand flew in various di-
r2ctions as if portending a shift of Wind, and a repe-
tion of the storm. By 8 o'clock, however, the appre-
hension had subsided, the gale having fortunately been
of short duration ; the damage on land has not been
very considerable. Out Marine List gives a report of
the injury sustained by the shipping—then follows a
long detail of the damage, which was extensive ; se-
veral wharfs were greatly injured ; two ships souk ;
13 vessels driven (»I shore, of which nine had got off;
a number of craft also driven on shore.

" A great proportion of the shipping were driven to
sea, or hud sustained trifling damage. His Majesty's
brig Shearwater, Captain Cox and Speedwell, Captain
Wemys, rode out the gale."

We received the Paris Papers of Wednesday last.
The intelligence brought by them is not of high im-
portance. The Funds had experienced a decline from
6-141 to 63f. 20c.

Bombay papers have arrived to the 15th August.—
Through this channel some particulars of an unpleasant
nature are communicated respecting the movements of
the ex-Rajah of Na,,apore, since his escape from the
custody of a British escort, on the route from his
former dominions towards Bengal. He was at first
protected by the Ghonde Chiefs, in the neighbourhood
of the mountain of Dowlaghurry, when he had with
him but a trifling party of Ghondies ; but from the
dispersion of so many native armies throughout India,
it was to be expected that malcontents would soon flock
into .the service of a Prince of high name and autho-
rity and the force of the Rajah increased accordingly,
until it is said to have amounted to 20,000 men.—
With a detachment o: these, consisting of upwards of
3,000 men, and amongst them some Arabs who had
been recently discharged from the service of Bajee Row,
Captain Sparkes fell in, unfortunately, at the head of
only 100 men, who, after being reduced by the enemy
to 1:5, offered to surrender on terms. The flag of truce
sent fur that purpose by Captain Sparkes was cruelly
rejected ; and nn the report of some baggage Scpovs,
who had witnessed the action until, on finding it hope-
less, they fled, it is feared that the gallant officer and
his whole detachment perished.

The late Queen left her suit of garnets only to the
Dowager Queen of Wirtemberg, because garnets are
the only precious stones that car► be worn with deep
mourning, which the Dowager Queen is resolved to
wear for life. All her own diamonds she left to be di-
vided a►nong the other tour Princesses equally. 1 ler
fine wardrobe, said to be of iu►mcnse value, she has left
to Nlailame Beckett:lmill Frogmore is left to the Prin-
cess Augusta, and the Lower Lo.fge to the Princess
Sophia.
