there, is a species of insult not to be tolerated,l
uhless France. desires to: put fetteis upon herself,
and, to come under an obligation not to send a
single ship to sea without obtaining the previous
permission of Great Britain. It must be admit-
ted that some grounds have been recently afford-
ed for this complaint, and that in future it
may be deemed advisable, notwithstanding the
impatience of the English public on every
thing connected with the naval movements
of the French, and to satisfy which Ministers
have evinced the most laudable anxiety, to ap-
proach this subject w'alt all the delicacy that a
due consideration for the just pride of a great
and high-spirited people requires.

provide them with the means to improve theH
Establishment in that Colony. They suffered
four successive years the failure of their crops
from blight. Their gardens were destroyed by
drought. In October they were overwhelmed
by an inundation which swept away every de-
scription of property before it. They suffered
by repeated attacks of the Caffres, and at length
were reduced nearly to• a state of nudity, and
absolute starvation. We know not, indeed, a
more pitiable description of miserable victims to
misfortune and physical evils, or who more for-
cibly appeal to benevolence and common hu-
manity.

The advance in Spanish Bonds is now under-
stood to have been occasioned by the certain infor-
mation that there is an intention on the part of
FERDINAND VII. to take them in part of a new
loan, the negotiation for which is on the tapti4.
How singular, however, is the situation in which
the monied interests of this country will place
themselves, if,on the recognition of the Old Bonds
of Spain, they advance funds to FERDINANn for the
purpose of enabling him to destroy the liberties
of South America! For they w ill in fact ad-
vance their money to Spain, to enable Spain to de-
stroy their own property in 'the Funds of the new
South American States ! The Contractors, it
is true, may hope that they will be able to
sell out, and to throw the ruinous losses,

German Papers to a late date have arrived,
but their contents have for the most part been
anticipitated by the French Journals, and en-
tirely so far as they relate to Continental Affairs.
With a view to discourage further emigrations
from Germany to Brazil, a letter has been pub-
lished in the Manheirn Gazette, dated Miens, the
25th of August, 1823, describing the distressed
state of the German Colonists in that quarter,
and asserting that " the Swiss Colony at Cante
Gallo makes no progress, notwithstanding the
support of the Russian Government and 11,1 r.

COURT OF KING'S IVENCII—(Tnts DAY.)
111 r. Ex. Sheriff PitaKnss appeared on the
floor of the Court, and made his long-promised
motion for a new trial in the case of livaNa V.
PARKINS.—The Loan Cnxu JUSTICE having
read his notes of the trial, the Ex-Sheriff then
rose, and after haranguing their Lordships at
considerable length, during which he repeatedly
shed tears, saying the attack on his character was
too much for a Gentleman to bear, concluded
by hoping he might have a new trial, or he would
pay into Court any sum of money their Lordships
might suggest to take the stain from his character.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE finding the matter
could not be amicably arranged, said that the
better way would he to grant the rule for a new
trial, or whether the damages should not be re.
duced.—Rule granted accordingly.

which must accrue one way or the other,
on the private families who invest their all
in these dangerous speculations for the sake of
the promised annuity ; but it is still the interest
of British subjects that is sacrificed, and it is
still British property that is making war upon
itself.

Consols opened this morning at OH for the
Account, and for the July opening 961, with a
heavy market, and very little doing in any des-
cription of public securities.—There have been

no fluetuattons in Consols.
FOREIGN STOCK MAIIKCT.-This Market is
also very heavy, and little is doing except in
Spanish Bonds, which opened at 21, and are
now 204. The Public seem now to he very
little interested in South American Stocks. One
portion of these very hazardous securities is al-
ready at a discount ; and it is much to be
feared that that will eventually be the
case with them all. There are no buyers, but
numerous holders, very much dispbsed to get out
of their present rather precarious situation.

We have received the Paris Papers of Mon-
day,
but their contents are unimportant, and not
worth extracting to the extlusion of any part of
last night's debates. The Project of Law for
the reduction of the Renter has been sent up to
the Peers from the Chamber of Deputies, where
it has not yet, however, undergone any discus-
sion. Indeed, it is probable that very little op-
position will be offered to its progress through
the Chamber. MoRILLo has ventured to make
his app,,arance in Paris. How must this fallen

man regret the part he acted in effecting the
overthrow of the freedom of Spain,
now that he
finds the very triumph
of his perfidy, and the
ingratitude of the party whom he served, have
covered himself with infamy, and driven him an
exile from his country. Tile toile has further
intelligence from Madrid, reiterating the state-
' ment that there is to be an immediate levy
of fifty thousand men, and that the half
of this new force is destined for South
America. The Moniteur of Sunday contains
a notice from the Office of the Minister of
Finance, addressed to the French Merchants,
and announcing to them—" That there had been
introduced into France, and especially Paris,
silver bars, which had been mat in such a manner,
that their surfaces were composed of very fine
silver, while the internal part contained a great
quantity of alloy. It was the more necessary
for merchants, bankers, and others who deal in
gold and silver, to be on their guard against this
fraud, as the Officers of the Mint had lately
found differences of 100, 200, and 320 thou-
sandths, in the several layers of silver bars com-
posed in this manner."

A letter from Buenos Ayres mentions that the
Government was forming a settlement at Port
Louis, one of the Falkland Islands, and that
100 settlers had already gone there, and more
were preparing to follow them. This settlement
may prove eventually very useful to vessels bound
round Cape Horn.
Several persons on the coast of the Pacific,
who have had the small-pox in Europe, have
been attacked with that disorder both in Chili
and Peru ; and recently the crew of one of the
United States ships of war, cruizing in the Paci-
fic, has experienced the fatal ravages of that dis-
order, and several who had been affected with it
whilst children have fallen victims to it. This
malady has always been particularly destructive
among the Indians, whole tribes having some-
times been swept away by it, which would prove
that it acquires an unusual degree of malignity
in some parts of America.
The remainder of the mathematical instru-
ments were yesterday morning sent down to the
