LONDON,
FRID4}% M.ll' 23, 1817.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday last, which were
due this morning, have not eons; to band.

A Flanders Mail arrived this morning. It will
be seen by the following Extracts from the Papers,
that the Netherland Government is at length (as
resiorted at least) about to take some measures
union the Buonapartists and French Revolution-
bits who have so long abused its protection.
There is also amongst the Extracts a new ver-
Sian of. the state of the relations between Spain
and Portugal, according to which Spain is to take
possession of the Portuguese kingdom, with the
consent of the Kittg of the Brazils, who is to be
indemnified in South America

" GHENT, May IB.—We have much pleasure

in announcing, that in all the.markets of this
Province corn has experienced a decline which is
not indeed very considerable, but at least allows
us to hope that we shall go on till harvest with-

out any addition to our distress. The arrivals
from the North are said to be encouraged by the
Government, which, if it has not adopted the

measure so generally called for by all our Pro.
vinces, and which seemed so imperionsly required
by circumstance*, at least employs all those which
can be reconciled with its general system of unli-
mited freedom of trade. It is in agitation to
exempt from ail dirties corn imported, except
such as does not remain in the kingdom.
" Bat:slams, MAY 18.—It is asserted, that the
Government has just adopted a severe measure
against the foreign writers who bare taken refuge
in these provinces.
GnaNT, MAY 10.—It'seems that it has been
resolved to fix two of the Northern Provinces,
where those foreigners, whom it may be thought
proper to remove from Brussels and the Southern
Provinces, shall be forced to abide. It is said
that the Allied Powers have interfered on this
subject.

" Baussets, MAY 17.—Letters from Madrid,
coming from the best authority, say, that the
Spanish troops are going to occupy Portugal,
which will he united with the Spanish Monareby,
by virtue of arrangementt, concluded with the
Cnnrt of Brazil : the latter will receive indemni.
ties In South America. If this great event should
be fully executed, as these letters affirm, the
whole Peninsula Will form, in future, only one
united and magnificent Monarchy.
" Bzussias, MAT 17.—The country has now
every where the finest appearance. The wheat
is in general extremely beautiful, the rye in our

neighbourhood it torwarii ; it is said to be teed
on the strong soils; but then in the light tolls ii
is superb. The barley is as fine as the wheat
tltls precious wain secure, and has not so etnrn.
pletely succeeded for many years past.

" The clovers, the great prop of agriculture,
Are not very high, but they are very thick and
strong. Potatoes are now,phuning wherever the
rye bas tailed. The early potatoet grow visibly,
And, those first planted will be at ma►ket in less

measure secure,

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ANTIGUA, DATED

MARCH 24,.1817.

" A brig that was sent to America has just re+
turned with a cargo of lumber and horses, say-
ing there was none of the former for sale ; I be-
lieve it,is pretty generaily the case in the Northern
States ; for I have seen letters laying, that the
poor must be starved, and were quite as had off,
if not worse, than the poor on your side of the
water."

that the CHANCELLOR of the Excticuven has

We feel great pleasure in the insertion this day
of the Petition from the University of Cambridge
against the Roman Cdti►olic Claims. The learn•
ink;, dignified character, and ortl►odni purity of
the august Body !rum which it issues, entitle it
to the attention of all raoks of the people. We
we most heartily concur in every sentence which

it contains, anti trust that it will power:luny npe.

stitution in Church and State, and F.si, preserving
tram all possible danger the PROVIST.ANT.ASCUN•
DANCY,

The Chester Chronicle of the lath itist. has
thought proper to question the pr Iniety of our
Nlotto, denying our statement t tat Sir J. O.
Eosarotr, Bart, paired all in the majority on
the Catholic Question, and asserts that " Sir
JOHN was not even in the House that day."
We trust that the Chronicle will not hereafter
dispute the right of Tn a SUN to the MOtto which
it has chosen, and will invariably endeavunr to
observe when we assure it that Sir J. 6, Er:raft-pm,
was in the House that day, and paired off with
Lord Citaai.es FrrzitoY.

Accounts have, it appears, been received from
Lieutenant CAMPORLL, on whom devolved the
command of the expedition for exploring the „Vo,
liba, or Niger river, on the death of Major Pito..
me, stating his arrival at the head of the river
Nunez, from whence he intended proceeding.
across the mountains towards Bamtnakon, the
place at which Mr. Putt; embarked ; on the bur-
face of which Lieut. CAMMLL Miff hit comp 4,

another gleam of hoPe is entertained of the ter-
mination of this- mysterious river being discovered,
