" It is now nearly three years since the Allied Sovereigns

the pendent and enlightened cowliset manifested on all or.
casinos by their Excellencies the Generals commanding in

other Gentrahi and °facers who were subordinate le them,

It is thought that ini.nriliately after the court-
reticre at Aix-la-Chaptlle, the negociatiuns going
on it Frankfort ever since 1816, respecting the ter-
Vitoria, divisions of Germany, will become more ac-
tive, awl that !Ilia affair will soon he arranged upon
the haws agreed upon at Aix-la-Chapelle. Ramo
110m13,,1,1i, who, before his departure for London,
hail been intrusted with this negociation on the
part of the Flossier) Government, is expected to
return hither for the same purpose.

The Legion of the Jura is going to Wetssetediurg
and Lsuterhurg, where it is to be in garrison.
Detachments of French troops already occupy
these two places as well as Hagenau ; they were re-
ceived with every demonstration of joy ; entertain-
ments were given, and the King's health was drank
with entlinsia.rn.

The officers of the 3,1 Wirtemherg regiment of

gave a grand farewell dinner to the General-in-
Chief, the Generals Commanders of the Corps,
and Staff Officers of the Austrian army. The
health, of the King of France and the Emperor of
Austria were drank, and reciprocal w islits exclutoged
for the prosperity of France and Austria, and the
duration of their alliance.—(Juermuf de Frankfurt,

Merchants' letters from Frankfort, Leipsic,
&c. agree in cninplaiiilig of the ex-
traor.lioary scarcity of ready y, which is felt
in the most sen.ible amulet in all the commercial
cities of Germany, and bus caused discount to sire
to eiAlit or nine per cent. It is difficult to predict
the cansegiiences or this scarcity of money. All
those who are judges of these matters, attribute it
to the financial operations of various Guvertintents,
who, by making loans almost all at the same time,
exhaust the funds of the monied men, and either
shut up there funds in their coffers, or bring them
at least into hands which withdraw them fur a time
from circulation.

LON DON,

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, Isis.

We have received Brussels, ilamburah, German,
and Dutch Papers, of recent dates. On the break-
ing up of the Army of Occupation, the Duke.of
WELLINGTON addressed an order of the day to the
several contiogetits, in which he complimented them
on the exemplary discipline uniformly manifested
by the Allied troops during the period of their
continuance in France, and also expresses his con-
viction, that if the Allied Sovereign* have attained
the object they proposed to themselves, in occupy-
ing for a certain space of time the northern frontier
of France, this advaiittge is to be attributed solely
to the prudence of the officers and the good con-
duct of the troops employed iu that delicate and
important service. An occurrence which took
place during the war in the Peninsula, when Lord
WELLINGTON strdngly censured the British army
for the want of discipline it evinced on the retreat
from Burgos, *hews that his Grace would be but
little disposed to pay compliments where they were
not merited, which consequently give* a value to his
present commendations that cannot fail of being

highly appreciated. We notice this with the more
satisfaction, as the French Papers have already
offered their 'need of praise to the Allied troops,
whose general conduct must therefore be presumed
to have been superior to censure, and calculated to
leave an impression on the minds of the French
people which is likely to be attended with good
effects.

An article from Berlin, speaking of the late fair
at Ftaukfart, breathes the customary spirit of cow-
martial rivalry towards this country. It is stated
that the English manufactures were not in large
quantities at the fair, and were sold at unu.uslly
high prices. This gave the German manufac-
turers an opportunity of a good market ; but the
•• blunders have received large orders fur the en-
suing fair," consequently the Continentslists •' must

defer their hopes of successful competition to more
favourable times." Nothing can prove more de-
cidedly the superiority of the British commodities
than this acknowledgment by the writer in Berlin ;
for even prices unusually high, aided by every
feeling of hostility which national and commercial
animosity can excite, are not sufficient to drive the
British merchant front the best markets on the
Cotonou%

Several individuals have lately been arrested in
Brussels, but although they have undergone some
examinations, the cease of this proceeding remains
as yet unknown. Their detention, however, is
supposed to have some reference to the late al-
leged conspiracy for the escape of NAPOLEON.
Rumours have been widely circulated, nut only
in the Netherlands, lint in France, that the object
of this conspiracy had been effected, and that BO•
NAPARTE is now at liberty. We learn from private
intelligence, that • very lively sensation was pro-
duced in Paris by the first intimation of this event.
11'hatever is strongly desired is readily believed,
and in little doubt was entertuined respecting it by
his numerous partisans in Paris, that they mani-
fested considerable exultation, and were ob4erved to
hold many and anxious conferences. Such a state of
moral irritation, approaching to what u►iglit be term-
ed a political fever, ought to be checked as soon as
possible. This might easily be effected by an official
declaration on the part •f our Government, that
NAroccoN was still safe in the custody of Sir
HUDiON Lowe, or by a publication of the dis-
patches recently received from St. Helena; and
where the i►nlartance of such an object is suffi-
ciently nianifest, the advantage of attaining it
would justify a departure Irons that high and dig-
nified system of rccrel, and magnanimous con-
tempt for public opinion, by which the British Ca-
binet has for some time Leta dist:ngnished.

We have received Paris Papers of 'Tuesday
lag. the 17th instant. On that day the King of
FRANCE had completed his 61,1 year. 1 he anui-
wear) of his MAJESIV's lit was
by a si•leailtil dinner at Omit, at which is:l the
Princes rod Princesses a the I.llootl-ltilyal wtre
niftlitblcd. It is expected that all the 'stresses
held by the Atha in ['react Rihl ba surrtudtrtd to

the French Authorities on the 14th. and that not a
foreign soldier in arms will be within the French
frontiers on the last day of November. In Spain
exertions are still making for the equipment of the
lung-threatened expedition. The celebrated Count
D'AstrinAL, who had originally been appointed to
the commend of this armament, and whose removal
flop this office was lately mentioned, has been made
Governor of Cadiz and of Andelns.'s, Hod the expe-
dition is again said to be under Ins rommand.—
Miserably low must the power of Spain save fallen.
when, with nil the exertion's of the Government.
despotic as it is, and stimulated by pride and ven-
geance, a few thousand men cannot be equipped
to suspend the luss of ballast empire.

The Government of Sweden has devised a new
system of taxation which seems to embrace every
object to which a tax can possibly be rffixed : the
most remarkable provisions of the law ire these—
Every male who has completed his fifteenth year,
shall pay till his eighteenth year inclusive an
animal impost of Si shillings in bank. When lie
has accomplished his nineteenth year, he shall pay
one 'ix dollar.

Every female who has completed pier fifteenth
year shall pay till her eighteenth year inclusive an
annual impost of 16 shillings ; and having com-
pleted her 19th year, shall pay g 4 shillngan year.
This impost ►hull continue until their 63,1 year,
when it shall cease, unless they have a net revenue
of 50 rix dollars arising frosn property o► indultry.

An Income Tex is imposed upon every class of
society, payable at several rates, according to their
rank, and from which not even the actors, actresses,
musicians, ►ingers, and dancers, are exempt.—
These arti.ts are divided into four classes, of which
the first ►hall puy 25, and the last 5 per cent.; they
are also to pay a fine on their appointments. Ad-
ditional taxes are imposed upon bachelors and
widowers.

We have received Norfolk Papers to the 22d
last. They contradict the arcount (lately pub-
lished in the American Papers) of the defeat of
CHRISTOPHR by General BOYER, no such battle
having taken place.

We have received Jamaica Gazettes to the 18t
ultimo. The following articles' are extracted born
thew, co:11106mi% the only intelligence which they
bring :
KINGSTON, OCTOBER 17.

By the Bearer we learn. that the Andromache
frigate. of 42 I, Captain William Ilenry Shir-
reff, had arrived at Lima from Portsmouth, for
the purpose of affording protection to British
vessels iu the South Stag.
FALMOUTH, OCTOBER 7.
_ _ _

We are informed by a gentleman who left Cuba
a few drys ego, that accounts had been received
there of a battle having been fought between the
forces under Bolivar and the Royal Army, com-
manded by General Mnrillo, near the river Oronoco,
in which the former was defeated with great Ins.;
but retiring upon his reserve, a second eopigement
took place a few days afterwards, and the Royalists
were most decisively vanquished. General Murillo
himself was taken prisoner, and, with many of his
principal officers, shot four hours afterwards.
By letters received at Margaritta, from Angos-
tura, it appears that the Patriot infantry had been
entirely destroyed by the Spaniards. Their canary,
which was numerous, could not, from the excessive
rains, operate at this season of the year. Admiral
Brion, with his squadron, and several store-ships
from England, with an immense supply of military
stores, had strived at Augustora.
The American frigate Congress arrived at Mar-
garine the latter end of June, with Commissioners

to that Government. The stature of their taipsion
had not transpired.
Several prizes have lately been brought into Mar.
garitta ; among others • Danish schooner, for a
breach of blockade. She was condemned and sold.

We have received Virginia Papers to the tgrl ult.
The intelligence from America becomes every day
of more interest. Detachments of military continue
to be ordered to the southward, for the alleged
purpose of protecting their frontier against the In.
dims ; but we now learn that large reinforcements
are ordered to Amelia Island, where there can be no
pretext of Indians as a cause fur such proceeding.
The following are t xtracts:—

NORFOLK, OCTOBER 21.
