" ItgRIAN, Nov. 9.—The Municipal Adminis-
tration of Berlin has announced in the Journals,
that the Association formed here in favour of the
National Manufactures, and not to use foreign
articles, consists already of 4000 members, the
greatest part of them fathers of families of all

\classes."

A Boston Paper of the 27th of October says,
" We have received letters fron► New Orleans of
the 24th ult, which state that. the Fever had
considerably abated, and few of the late cases
were marked with any degree, of malignity."

EXTRACT OF A MERCANTILE LETTER FROM PER-

NAMBUCO, OF THE 9111 SEPT.
" Our.market is over-stocked with all sorts of
provisions, especially flour, which is become a
mere drug, there being upwards of 100 barrels at
market. Great losses must be felt by the Owners
of ships which have returned hither lately, as their
cargoes cannot he disposed of even at a very con-
siderable sacrifice, and on the returns no freight
can be gained at the present prices."

(From the New-York Gazette, Oct. 28, 1817.)

FROM SOUTH AMERICA.—Uptain UAY, at Nan-

tucket, from the Pacific Ocean, put into Talca-
guama on the 20th June, for supplies, and laid
there three days. The place was garrisoned with
about 2000 king's troops; they had had no action
with the Patriot troops since the latter took the city
of Conception. The garrison was short of provi-
sions, particularly bread. Captain Ray obtain-
ed wood, water, and sonic bullocks, in exchange
for bread,, and was well treated. There was

then lying at Talcagnama one frigate, one sloop
of ‘var, three gun-brigs, and a number of ships,
&c. The Patriots possessed all the country around,
except the peninsula on which the garriscin stands.
The Royalist expected a reinforcement from Lima,
and shOuld they be diappointed in that, they
-rildked of evacuating the place in about one month
they had vessels enough to take all their troops
off. They were not annoyed by the Patriots,
who, having cu. off all supplies from the country,
calculated on starving them out. The cannon in
the torts wet e dismounted, ready to be taken off,
should they be under the necessity of leaving.

It is a plain proof that The Morning Chronicle
is hard driven for topics to urge against Ministers,
when it is obliged to resort to pretended specula-
tions in Paris, which, if real, would not deserve

notice, on the. sale of the Russian ships to Spain,
and it affects to say, that that sale is not very
creditable to the foresight or vigour of the British
Cabinet. What would Otis sagacious Chronicle
have had the British Cabinet do on the subject?
Would it have had Ministers, in the first instance,

demand to know the price At which they were to
be sold ? to the purpose, there can be no dif-
ficulty in guessing at that, and we can venture to
atErm, that as far as Cie British 'Cabinet could
properly interfere, it did, and we have reason to
believe, that there was nothing in the ulterior
object of that sale which held forth grounds of
alarm to this Country. The Chronicle proceeds to
s.ay, that " it is affirmed by one who pretends to
be in the secret, that this measure was commnni-
cated to the British Ministers as a simple act of
the Russian Government, unaccompanied by any
explanations whatever as to the views either of

Spain in requiring military assistance at tbis mo-
ment, or of Russia in granting it." Well then,
it appears, by the admission of " some who pre-
tend to he in'the secret," (never were words more
properly adopted,) that the British Cabinet had no
occasion for much
.foresight as to a sale that was
communicated to them, and now then comes
the question of the purpose of that sale.-
-Surely, after all that has been known, and
what we hear every day, of the revolt of the
Spanish Colonies, it can require as, little foresight
as The Chronicle generally dispiays, to conceive the,
object to which the purchased ships were to he
directed. Now then as to the vigour of the British
CAbinet. Would those who " pretend to be in the
secret" have had the British Cabinet say to
Russia " You shall not sell your Ships," and to
Spain, " Yoo shall not .buy them i" Consider-
ing that The Chronicle pretends to be an advocate
-for Peace, it seems very unluckily to have stum-
bled upon observations that strongly savour of an
inclination to involve the Powers of Europe in a
new war. But would The Chronicle, after the
sale of the, Ships was settled, have had the British
Cabinet foshiti the attempt of Spain to regain
her Sovereignty over her revolted Colonies ?
Such an exertion of vigour in the British
Cabinet would be the wantonness of folly
or :the Violence of madness. But The' Chro-
nicle renews the clamour against the supposi-

Lion that Russia is.to be permitted to occupy
norca, and that that is the probable price of
Spanish purchase. It is a pity that The Chronicle
forgot to add that this idea was suggested to it Wj
" some %% ho pretend to be in the score
the cloven-foot of Jacobinism at length Appeals
The Chronicle, for it says, in the true jacobinict
spirit for which it has long been distinguishedl
" so hampered are they (tlie British .Alinisteril
with Legitimacy, that they i.nust needs renid;
passive spectators of alt transactions in Ettr4l
which pretend to have LegitiMacy for their ot.
ject." What is the plain import of this passage:
Why, that Great Britain is to pay no regard r,
Established Governments and Hereditary Sovereigns
but, at the risk of overthrowing them all, shoolil
interfere in preventing Russia front selling he
ships, because it may perhaps be found, that still
is to bold Minorca as some security for the pai
ment, and -in preventing Spain front endeavourind
to recover her hereditary possessions. After tlt
open avowal of such a doctrine., %rho will considt
The Morning Chronicle as a legitimate Opposititi
Paper, and 'not rat her as the Pander of Mob-passions!
in tact, the Champion of Jacobinism and the dick
zocate for Revolution?
