lICSURGENT PRIVATEERS.

Informatiom reached LLOYD'S this morning that
privateers sent out by the Insurgents were off the
Azores the latter end of June, and that they bad
succeeded in' capturing four, very valnahle ships;
three of them they carried off, and one they sunk.
The account does not.say whether an engagement
took place, but as one of the vessels was sunk, it
is supposed there was an action. The following
is a copy from LLOYD'S Books on this subject :
" The Gram Para, from Bengal; the Nova Ca.
rolina, from China for Lisbon ; the Plor de Mayo,
irons La Guyra for Cadiz ; and the Los Dolores,
from Porto Rico for Barcelona, were captured off
the Azores,, the latter end of last month, by In-
surgent Privateers :.the latter was sank."

NVe received yesterday the Paris Papers. of
Thursday last ; those of Friday, which were due
this morning, have not come to hand. The Jour-
nals of Wednesday arrived at a late hour on Sa-
turday, and we noticed them in a part of our im-
pression. This paragraph, together with the 'im-
portant intelligence from Lisbon, which we pub-
lished in our Second Edition on Saturday, will
be found in a subsequent column. From the Pa-
pers of Thursday we learn, that the Constitutionel
kas been suppressed. The following paragraph
respecting it appears in the Gazette de France and
the Journal des Debats :—" We understand that
the Journal called Le Constitutionel has been sup-
pressed by order of.his Excellency the Minister of
Georal.Police, according to the recommendation
of the Council;" For what reason the Constitu-
tioitel has been subjected to this arbitrary assump-
tion of power we are not informed, nor will any
of the other Journals probably venture to state it
without an express authority from the Court, for
fear they may be subjected, to a similar summary
extinction. Such is the Liberty of the Press en-
joyed at Paris.
The Duchess de Bratty, the Bulletins continue
to state, was as well as
.could be expected.
The Duke of WELLINGTON was expected at
Paris at the end of last week. •
Mr. BARING was expected at Paris on Thuptlay.
The remains of Madame de STAEL are to be

.ccmveyed for interment to her estate at Copet,

neitr Geneva.

"::11;is now stated, that' the persons recently ar-
rested at BourdeauX were not Individuals, of any
consequence. ",-Amongst therO are some dancers
of the Great Theatre, particularly LAtIIONQUE, who
are accused of having, when supping witban-artist
of theTheatre of the name of ADELL, used seditious
expressions. They are to be tried before the. Pre-::
votal Court. They excuse themselves by saying
they were intoxicated."
The King of Prussia arrived at Carlsbad the Ist

,The Moniteur *contnins the following from Bra-
zil, respecting the carrying on the African Slave
Trade by Spanish ships

" Rio IssuißO, MARCH I.—His Majesty being desirous of
employing those means which may contribute more effectually
to the strict and inviolable maintenance of the Treaty of 24d
January 1815 by virtue of which it is forbidden to his sub-
jeCts to carry on a trade in slaves in any of the ports of the Afri-
can coast on the Equkor, and with some to the S. of that line,
which are not dependencies of the Crown of the United King-
dom, and bring convinced that the most efficacious measure
against the infraCtionof the said Treaty by fraudulent voyages
will undoubtedly be to prevent Spanish vessels fitted out in
the Ports of this kingdom from carrying on any trade in slaves
in those of the coast of Africa, Where the right of continuing
thiS traffic has not been abolished, which ports are included
between the Equator and the 10th degree of Northern latitude,
his Majesty for these considerations has been pleased to di-
;rect,that at the expiration of 3 months after the date of this
Royal Order it shall be forbidden to all Spanish vessels fitted
out in the Ports of the United Kingdom to carryon the SlaVe
Trade in those'of. the Coast Of Africa above mentioned, and
the Authorities who have the superinteddittg the destination
and 'fitting out of the said vessels ate enjoined to adopt inea-:
sures the most proper for the exact execution of th►s prohi-,
bition.

'When we consider the very large portion of the

It has generally been observed, that when a
Controvertist loses his temper, he begins to she®
the weakness of his cause. It may be-observed of.
the Morning. Chronicle, .however, that the weak-
ness of its cause was discoverable long before it
began to lose its temper, and, therefore, we may
presume that this loss of temper arises from the
hard hits of its opponents. We refer:our Readers
to the following passage in the Chronicle of 'this
day, as a proof- that, since it wants arguments
and proofs, it seems to be stung with 'vexation,
and descends to a style wholly unworthy of its
reputation as a political Journal :—" The MOTU-
ing Post, Sun, and Courier (says the chronicle),
those petty sewers from the great drain, have near-
ly deluged us with filth." We have no objection
to he thus classed by the Chronicle, in such com-
pany as the Moning Post and the Courier, becao'e
whatever may have been the principles, of those
Papers formerly, 4hey have, under the .present
Proprietors, been employed in, a staunch Support
of our glotions ConStitutiou in Church. and

ner, have resisted • all the arts Of SOPHISTRY,
and alj. the machinations of TREASON'. As to
Tua SUN, we need say little, as its' uniform

consistency, from its origin, upwards of twenty-
four years ago (during almost the whole of
which period the present Proprietor has been
connected with it), is %veil known to the public.
The Paper, it is our pride to say, was founded
under the auspices of the immortal WILLIAM
PITT, to whose principles it shall steadily adhere.
" Something too much of this," as Hamlet says,
..and,therefore we, return to the Chronicle. We put
it then to the...judgment of all Readers of candour
and taste., whether its figures of "sewers—drains—
and filih,"-could possibly come from a writer of
gentlemanly habits, and Whether' it is not more
likely that, during the absence of the Prinjitial,
some politicaLScavenger has taken possession of •
his pen. But of -this enough, and.we now proceed
to detect an artifice of the Chronicle, which may not
be obvious to ordinary Readers. The Chronicle, it
is observeable, directs its attacks every dayagainst
Lord CASTLEREAGH and Mr. CANNING, as if they
were the main springs of Government, and as if, in.
deed, to the Noble Lordand the Hon. Gentleman
the whole management of the State were com-
mitted. This expedient, however, is not intended
to raise these two Members of the Government,
but to loiter the rest, in order to make the Nittion
believe that the ether parts of the Administration
feel their "genius rebuked," and therefore submit
the conduct of affairs wholly to the commanding
talents Of the two Members in question. Upon
the same.principie the Chronicle affects to consider
the Morning Post, the Courier, and 'l'H2 SUN,• as
the advocates merely of Lord CASTLEREAGH and
'IIIr.'7CANNING. We confess we see nothing of
`this -aelee t and' peculiar support in those two
rapers, and-fol''THE Stit, we can fairly say that,
with very great respect for the talents, and with a
-bigh-vrnst-oftlre services, of the Noble Lord and"
