We have often expressel our disapprobation of
the conduct of those Officers in the service of
this Country who have engaged in the cause of
the revolted Colonies of South America.- What-
ever may he our opinions or our feelings respect-
ing
the'final issue between those Colonies and the
Mother Country, as we are at peace with Spain, •
we should, in fact, be abetting rebellion in giving
countenance to such an employment of British
Officers. We have, at the desire of many of those
Officers, endeavoured to ascertain whether, by en-
gaging in that Cause, they were likely to forfeit
their Commissions, and the -answer we received
was, that if they did no► lose their 'Commissons,
they ought to lose them, for tAing Any part
against a Monarch in alliance with this
Country. In • The London Gazette of Saturday,
our Readers will perceive that the British Govern-
ment has at length issued a Proclamation pro-
hibiting ,not merely British Officers, but British
Subjects in general, from taking any part in fa-
vouring the revolted Colonies. Far from being
surprised that such a Proclamation has been issued,
we were rather surprised that it was not issued
long before. It might, indeed, have been prudent
i►► Mioistets to wait and see what turn matters
would take, and whether a reconciliation might not
have been effected between Spain and- her former
dependencies.; but as it has been some time
,glaringly' manifest that no such amicable result
could possibly be expected, it was full time
for the British Government to declare itself,
otherwise we should have committed the na-

tiOnal 'elr7ittsz.tr in the eyes of inankii:cl, in
dicing lhe world ?eiisou to suspect that eve 'were
iusidiously .aiiling tlO. calfse of `the iniargentS-, or

nisters have at -length Conic Tor Ward in an open,
Manly.) hitt! Anatsiter, and shewu to man-
'kind that w'e are above such dishonourable con-
do:et as
.was firt.iiseel by the Prehch Cou`rt during
our Xlittrican 'Ctin'testa conduct ivhich, Un-
happily. 'for all Europe, carried its punishment
a!olig %Vitt) it,, in tr"anSferting such political 'prin
eiples to France., tis overturned its Monarchy, pro-

(laced all the liorrots Oct Itevtlution; brought
a Virtuous. Sovereign and part of his family to the
sc.atTold, scattering misery; and spreading con-
sternation and diSmay all over Europe.—lt may
not be ialproper to add, that the liroelamatibn
which has been so long forthcoming, maintains
a STRICT NEUTRALITY between Spain and her re-
volted Colonies.

It is stated in a respectable Morning Paper of
this day, that " Ruins coming from foreign Coun-
tries are prohibited in France, by the Law of
April 2S, 1816, and those coming front the French
Colonies are admitted on paying a duty of ten
francs the hectolitre (about 262 gallons), and
that it has been -determined, that on account of
the present dearness of brandy and other spirit,
in Fiance, the Director tieneral of Customs shall
be outlimised to give special permissions for the
entry of foreign rums, on paying a duty of 40
per cent, od valorem," By coupling this state-
nient 'titti the article relating to the. Proclamation
for the Meeting of Parliathent on the 27th of
next month, the respectable Journal in question
seems ludicrously to imply that Parliament is to
meet chiefly fur the purpose of considering rum
duties.

We received yesterday the Paris Papers of Tinny
day last. Those of Friday, which were due t big
morning,,. have • not come to hand. They afford
but little news; there had been no public sitting
of the Chamber erf Deputies since the communi-
cation of the prcjet respecting the Concordat
one was -expected on Friday, at which a projtt
regarding the recruitment of the ilroiy was to be
presented.

Colonel IVIAssRNBActi, about whom so much
has lately been said, is, it is reported, iliortly to.

The Vienna accounts state, that the .Austrian‘
Government is about to resort to a kw of con
scription, in order to reduce the regular Army.
According to, the plan briefiy. detailed in these
Journals, all the male subjects of Austria, be-

tween the ages of 20 and 43, are to:be subject to
military service, divided into three classes; the
tirst elass, from the age of 20 to 23, to be, in
case of war, drafted into Regiments of the Line,
the second class, from 25 to 35, to form a Land-
wehr or Militia, to be called into actual service
in any part of the Austrian dominions in the event
of their being menaced by an enemy; and the
third class, (rum 35 to 45, to form a sta-
tionary guard, and not to be compellable
to quit their respective Cantons. It is also
said, that a new Kingdom is to be formed in
the Austrian- States, to consist of the Principa-
lity of Salzbourg, and other territory, and to
make part of the Germanic Confederation.

The following is an Extract of a Letter from
Savannah, dated .Nov, 1, 1317 :—" We still re-
main very sickly,,and have about 12 persons dying
daily. Several ships and brigs have arrived bete
from Charleston, but, on hearing of the fever, did
not come into the harbour. Arrived last evening
the schooner Joseph, Captain DINOR, from St.
Mary's ; left 21st October. rid Captain states,
that the day before he sailed a Mexican privateer
arrived at Amelia from Galveston, and informed
that 4 other vessels, with 400 men on hoard, had
sailed from the same place for Amelia."

On Thursday evening summonses ivere
by order of Lord CASTLEREAGH for a Meeting of
the Cabinet Ministers to take place on Saturday
at the Foreign Office. They met at twelve o'clock.
There were present the Lord Chancellor, the Ball
of Ilarrowbv, C.al of Westinorhind, Earl of Li-
verpool, the Chancellor of the K-itchequer, Vis-
count Sidmouth, Viscount Castlereagh, Earl
thurse, Mr. Cantiitig, -Mr. Wellesley Vole, Vis-
&Matt Melville, tke. The Council sat a shorter
time than either of the three Councils which had
been holden in the course of the Week. It
.broke
op before tour t
'clock.
The Ott. TRADE has, we understand, been for
many years past principally confined to a -few
leading Houses, who have had the supply of the
metropolis- and of -most of the mandecturiog dis-
tricts. We, however, tro-t that the approaching
devulopetnent of the mode in which this branch of
trade has been carried on will ultimately prove a
benefit to the Public, and a stimulus to further
exertions in the persons engaged in the I3ritisb
Fisheries.

The increase of the • trade from Liverpo,o!

sail of ships front that port being now engaged ire
it. The trade to the United States is likewise
nearly c(infined to that port, which, from its ac.
commodations, and smallness of port charges, bids
fair to have in future the large4t share of the ge.
netal trade to India, anti neatly the whole of tlic
