LONDON,
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1816.

We are informed that Parliament will nut meet
'or the Dispatch of Business till the 28th of

lanuarv.

We are mill without an arrival from the Con-,
inent, though the weather has been moderate fur
he last two days. The same cause which te-
ards the packets, prevents the arrival of the
ltussian Prince NicnoLits.

We love received Jamaica Gazettes to the 15t1

September.

The following Official Notification of the open-
ing of the trace to Carthagentt, is not 914 the
best refutation that can be given to the claims of
success asserted by the friends of the South Ame-
rican Insurgents, but the best answer that could
be given to their infamous arguittent, which
commends injustice and breaCh of faith to Great
Britain, in order, as they say, to secure the trade
of Santh America. It now appears that in this.
as in every thing else, honesty is the Lest pone?),
and as soon as circumstances permit. we have the
open commerce of this Continent by legitimate
means, and without violating the Treaties with
Spain we have so lately sworn to observe.
This document leaves it questionable if a com,
promise with the, rebels would . have fulfilled the
views of those who were ready to sacrifice honour
and all that is valuable in national policy to a‘tner-
candle speculation half so well as the pursuit of
the right line adopted by Gove-nment. We do
nut deny that South AmeriCa offers a most im-
portant market, but its importance will be greatly
enhanced if we enter into it like fair traders, and
not. RS fraudulent swihdlers.. • "

" Most Excellent Sir,—ln my communication of the p,otti
July, last year, I mentioned to your Excellency that 4 had
blockaded the city of Carthagena, and the coast from the
port of Santa Martha to the river Atrato inclusive.
" In that 9f the 12th December of the same year, I re-
peated that the blockade was continued, and to leiive no doubt,-
'
1 added that the blockade from SautiOlartha to the river
Atrato continued in force to the very extent which I had rut:n.-
tiotted to your Excellency, but thut in future foreign varisik
should be admitted to Santa-Martha as heretofore.'
" At this moment the Kingdom being at Peace, the Coasts
in our possession, and that especially which had been in a.
state of blockade, I have taken it off, as far as lies in ml
power; hut it belongs exclusively to his Excellency the Cap-
tain-General of the Kingdom to permit, to 'prohibit,,or to
regulate, the intercourse of foreigners, forailauthority vested
in rue in these Countries has ceased whets I deliver Ahem up
tl him, submitting to the will of the King my Master.

On this subject we cannot refrain from no-
ticing a whimsical dispute that has arisen between
two of our contemporaries. An OppmitiOn
Paper having asserted, that haviug,onest endea-
voured to make a diversion in South America we
should continue to do so, has been answered that
it was against JOSEPH BUONAPARTB but this not
being true, the'original'assertion is renewed with
triumph. But the real answer to this is lies
