the Austrian Charge d'Affaires to the Court of
Portugal, arrived at Rio Janeiro the 14th of July

ast, in the frigate Austria.

" FRANKFORT, OCT. 25.—The Count de
Schuwaloff, Adjutant-General of the Emperor of
Russia, arrived here yesterday from Petersburg!),

on his way to Paris.
" VIENNA; OCT. 21. —The arrival. of the
Count de Buol Schottenstein, President of the Ger-

manic Diet, has given rise to many conjectures
It appears certain, that he has received Terba
nstructions respecting several subjects, which

are to be discussed at the'next sitting of the
Diet. Of ail these objects, the most important

s undoubtedly the establishment of Assemblies o

States, in the respective Provinces of Germany,
Assemblies looked for so anxiously several of
them, and particularly in those which formerly had
States. , It appears, however, that the great Sove-

reigns, particularly those of Austria and Prussia,
have changed their opinions in this respect, since
the example given by the IVurtemburg States,
whom it became necessary to dissolve. Jr is
thought, therefore, that Austria and Prussia have
agreed to postpone the question of Provincial

States and Constitutions, and that M. de

::.ichauenstein is directed to insist upon this pos

ponement."

Halifax Papers to the 12th of Oct. arrived this
morning. The following are Extracts :
(From the Halifax Chronicle of Oct. 10.)

" NAVIGATION ACT.—Wc are authorised to
state that the Collector of the Customs for this
district has been directed to put the following
-construction, forithe present, on' the Navigation
Act of March 1817:--Vessels owned in -Great
Britain can bring into .the United States, from the
British West India Islands, or any other of her
Colonies, a cargo consisting of articles the
growth, production, and manufacture of said Colo-
nies. Vessels owned in one British Colony can
take a cargo from another British Colony, and
bring it into the United States. Great Britain and
Sweden are the only Nations which have a similar
regulation to that contained in the Navigation Act
of the United States, and of course they are the
Only Nations which are affected by it.—(lnde-
pendent Chronicle, Oct. 4.)
" MoNTnrAL, SHPT. 20.—We learn from the
Niagara Spectator of the 21st ult. that a mutual.
agreement has been made between the American
and British Governments; that --neither Power

shall retain in service more than two revenue crit-
ters, of 2 guns each, on either Lake, and that six

months previous notice .of an intention to aug-
ment this force on either side shall be given.
" QUEBEC, ()CT. 4.—The number of vessels
arrived at this port from sea, since the opening of
the' navigation, is 240 ; the number of settlers,
chiefly from Great Britain, already arrived, is
2,857, and we learn that about 200 more are
shortly expected from Germany."

Extract of a Letter from tt, Gentleman at Amelia
Island, to his Friend in Charleston, dated Saint
Mary's, Sept. 28, 1817.
.1 expect this Island will be evacuated in a
few days, for I am well assured there can be no
impression made against Florida by remaining
here. Most of those who are left are bent on
booty, to enable them to fit out the Nlorgiana

York, and lawiN, late Member of Congress
from Pennsylvania, are joint partners in the

" LYONS, 0CT.27.-The Marchioness de La
valette having been called upon to glie some
explanation respecting the correspondence which
she is accused of having held with several of the
other prisoners, has denied that she knows any
of them except M. Joannon, that she had no
correspondence with the prisoners, nor took any
part, direct or indirect, in the conspiracy. The
President of the Court then communicated to her
the depositions, the result of which was, that she
had transmitted letters by a man named Moulin,
Conductor of the Deligences from Lyons to Paris,
who was charged to bring back the answers. She
persisted in asserting that she-had never written
any letters, nor did she know Moulin ; she added
that the depositions on this point were false, and
alat no such-letters could be produced.
COPENHAGEN, OCT.lB.—The Russian Squad-
ron trarrsferred to Spain is shortly expected here.

Yesterday we gave the-interesting particulars oi

the execution of the Conspirators at Lisbon. 1`
day we lay before our Readers the first part of 06
proceedings on their trial (see the last page), by
which it will be seen that they had not only ir)
VieW the destruction of the Government and re-
volution of the State, but the death of our gal-
lant countryman Lord BERESFORD, Marshal
neral of the Armies of Portugal.

It was natural to expect that the admirsh!t'
Letter, signed LANFRANK, which appeared in Or
Paper of yesterday, would attract considerabt&
notice among the supporters and opponents of tb°
principles which it maintains. We have alreal
the satisfaction to know that it made a stro4
impression on the former, as we have heard frolli
several quarters, where, we are assured, it o's
received with warm approbation. That it is cal'
culated also to excite in no slight degree the g"
tendon of the opponents of its principles, is
dent from the comments which have been mane
on it in The British Press of this day. We shall
endeavour to'be brief in• our answer, because The
Press proceeds entirely upon error, for it suppose
that the PAPts.rs of the pres'ent day are not of
same description as the PAPrsrs of former timef,
We are surprized that The Press should thus be'
tray a total ignorance of the character of POPERf`
It is the uniform doctrine of the PAPISTS at pre"
sent, and has always been the doctrine of PA'
PISTS, that Semper Eadem is the.fundamental
prin-
ciple of their Religion. In all the modern works
of the PAPISTS. this principle has been solemnly
maintained, and they have declared that people
deceive themselves if they suppose that there has
been the least change in their Religion. The Head
of their Church has been pronounced to be infal-
lible,
and all the tenets of their faith to be wholly
unchangeable. The fears, therefore, that our
Ancestors entertained against the admission of
PAPISTS into any share of political power ought to
operate as forcibly at this moment as at any pe..
riod in the history of POPERY. The PAPISTS hate
and abhor the PROTESTANTS now as much as ever
they did, and, no doubt, would think that they
performed a meritorious action if they were to ex-
terminate all whom they could not convert. Suds
was always the character of POPERY, and such will

for ever remain. We had pledged ourselves to
'resume an article which appeared in THE SUN in
answer.to The British Press, and we are glad that
it has recalled our attention to the subject.—h
was said that the Popish Electors of Ireland had
determined to propose a test to ail Parliamentary
Candidates, requiring them to pledge themselves
to support Catholic Emancipation, as it is absurdly
styled, since PAPISTS have the free exercise of their ,
Religion, and are only precluded from participa-
tion in that political power which they would
deem it their duty to employ for the destruction of
the Protestant Establishment. Therefore, if any
test is necessary on the ensuing General Election,
it should be proposed to the Protestant Candi•
dates, and they should be required to pledge
themselves to resist all farther concessions to PO.
?BEY. It has been hinted to us, that no person
should be suffered to hold any of the higher offices
of the State, unless he gave a similar pledge; for
otherwise the Constitution might be endangered
and indeed., under an estal)lishment strictly Pro•

testanr, all persons to whom the Government of

the country is entrusted, in its higher and leading
drpartments, should be firm in support of our po•

tion.

in the least inclined to relax in favour of those
who deem it a duty of their religious faith to leve
it in the dust. The legitimate Head of the Go•

to take seriously what was evidently not intender

any of Iris communications.

The following co►nmunication was received la

".SPF•ENHAMLAND, Nov. 3.—Her MAJEsTY and
suite passed through this place at eleven o'clock
precisely. They changed horses at Thatcham,
three miles distant, where a relay of horses from
Windsor awaited her MAJESTY'S arrival, and went
on to Hungerford, nine miles from hence, where
another relay is posted to go on to the Castle
Inn, at Marlborough, at which place the QUEEN
Will take refreshment, and then proceed oo to
Bath, and probably arrive there about five o'clock
in the evening. The assemblage of persons here
of every rank and description, from all parts of
the country, was immense, and nothing could ex-
ceed the manlier in which their loyalty and at-
tachment were manifested on the occasion. Her
51A.TEsTi. was received with th'e. loudest cheers
and acclamations, and the only cause for regret
was the momentariness of tire enjoyment of so
gratifying a scene. Her MAJESTY looked much
better than was expected, and bowed compla-
cently- as she passed along. The Newbury and
Dounington troop of Yeomanry Cavalry, through
their Commander, ANTHONY BAcot, Esq. had
offered their services to escort her MAJESTY from
Thatcham to Huegerford, but this offer was po-
litely declined by a letter from Colottel DEssaow
'to Mr. BACON, in which that ,Gentleman was
thanked for the offer, and informed; that as the
QuaEN wished to travel in a private manner, she..
was under the necessity of declining the offer of
the troops' services. The Princess ELIZABETH
alone accompanied the QUEEN in her travelling
pot chariot, but the whole suit consisted of five
travelling carriages with four horses eaith, deco-

We are happy to learn that all apprehensions
'elf an immediate war with the Mahrattas have
completely vanished in-the EaSt. The vigorous
measut es pursneciagainst the PEisnwil, have effec-
tually incapacitated that treachrrons chieftain
from doing us further injury ; and HoLicart and

assist the Marquis or HASTINGS in crushing the
Pindarree power. The letters from Bengal are to
so, late a date as the llth of June. Money to any

One word more to The British Press. it seems

as an "insult " to the Irish in the letter of LAN-
FRANK, but merely in allusion to the proverbial
notion that thvy are addiCted to Bulls. But The
Press is grossly mistaken in hinting that " this
insult had been offered by an Irishman, a pseudo-
patriot and an apostate." We know not whom
The British 'Press thus designates; but we can
assure it, that if there be a character of that de-
