A-CLASSICAL and ORIGINAL NEWSPA.
PER, will be commenced on Tuesday, October 18, 1808,
entitled THE INOUISITOR, printed in quarto, on the largest
paper allowed to be used—price ild. To be published en the
afternoon of every 'Tuesday, Thurs,lay, and Saturday.
It was observed by our illustrious Bacon, is his treatise " Ds
Augmeatis Scientiarum,"that the multiplicity of books should be
considered indicative rather of scarcity than superfluity ; and that
this penury, instead of being supinely regretted, ought to be re-
lieved by increasing the number of meritorious productions. The
observation extends emphatically to what are denominated perio-
dical publications. Every new literary project supposes some de-
fitiencee to be supplied, or some errors to be remedied. Without
meaning to depreciate contemporary merit, the Proprietors of this
Undertaking know that enough has nut been done to satisfy just
expectation • while,without assuming undue superiority in the re-
public of letters, they are confident that Tee Inquisero it, both
as to its plan and pretensions, will be found incontestibly to sur-
pass any of those numerous Journals hitherto submitted to the
Public. if they obtain the highest possible success, it will be because
they are determined evidently to deserve it. They can discover
faults, which it will be their concern to avoid; omissions, for
wbir.h it will be their duty to provide; and adventitious aids, of
which their predecessors have neglected to avail themselves.
Something new, something esti...II:LW, something durable, will,
they trust, be the result of their labours.
To combine the temporary attractions of a Newspaper with the
permanent advantages of an Annual Register, and, at the same
time, to connect, with the information of a Literary Review, the
diversified interest of a Monthly Magazine, obviously presents the
most extensive aid desirable arrangement. Comprehensive as is
the destined sphere of 'THE. INQUISITOR, the frequency of its
appearance, together with the unprecedented dimensions of its pa-
ges, will, nevertheless, enable the Proprietors fully to accomplish
whatever they stand pledged to perform. The magnitude of their
design therefore renders them anxious to attach is themselves
public attention. For elegance of effect ; for originality, novelty,
and variety ; for the accuracy and copiousness of its details; for
the importance of its information, and the opulence of its litera-
tare ; for utility, and for delight ;—the Proprietors aspire to pro-
duce a Publication that will find its way into every rank of society,
and whose contents will reader it an object of preservation to
femilies the most respectable. It will coutain all that can attract,
in the evanescent communications of the day, and all that is de-
serving of perpetuation, in the established records of the age.
Volatility will be amused, curiosity gratified, and knowledge sti-
mulated.
Something will doubtless be here expected on the subject of
Politics. With respect to the conduct of 'THE iNguisITOR in this
particular, few professions will, however, be made. Recent
events, both foreign and domestic, have demolished most cf the
ancient barriers of party, and exposed, at the same time, the fn.
tility of its distinctions. A large and highly respectable portion
of the community begin to emancipate themselves from that clan-
nish spirit which sees right and wrong only through the medium
of civil connexions; and it is the patronage of this honourable de-
scription of readers that Tee iNguisiToa will be most emulous
to obtain and secure. '

A

WEST INDIES.

CURACOA, AUGUST S.

The extraordinary occurrences which have lately
taken place in Spain, and the happy consequences
which are likely to result to her West India Islands
therefrom, have diffused the liveliest sensations of joy
throughout the British Colonies. Such a field for spe-
culation is now opened, such a mart for merchandise
now presents itself, as will make ample amends to the
merchants of London for the losses they have sus-
tained, or the disappointments they have experienced,
in the unexpected evacuation of Buenos Ayres. Upon
the arrival of Lord COLLINGWOOD'S dispatches from
Cadia, communicating the changes which had been
effected in the sentiments of the Spaniards, as also in
the polities of their country, which reached this island
on the 18th ultimo, Sir JAMES Canavan, our Go-
vernor and Commander in Chief, lost not a moment
in announcing to the Main the agreeable intelligence.
Expresses were immediately sent off, in different di-
rections, to La Guira, Maracaybo, and the Caraccas.
Hostilities were not only from that moment suspended
against the Spaniards, but every assistance and pro-
tection was ordered to be afforded to them which they
might require or stand in need of. Answers were, re-
ceived by his Excellency, on the Ist instant, from Don
Juan de las Casas, Don Louis Sartinelli, and Don
Joseph de Mujaxes, the Captains-Generals and Go-
vernors of these Provinces, of the gratefullest and most
satisfactory nature. The success of the negotiation
is, in no small degree, to be attributed to the promp-
titude with which it was entered into, and to the ad-
dress with which it has been conducted, for a French
brig had previously reached the coast of Terra Firma,
through the intrigues of whose emissaries, the object
of a similar mission, sent from Barbadoes by Admiral
COCHRANE, had been totally defeated. On the 2d,
an express was dispatched to Lord CASTLEREAGH by
Sir JAMES COCKEURN, in the Lark sloop of war, Cap-
min NICHOLAS, with a detailed account of the mea-
sures adopted by his Excellency, and of the glorious
termination of this important embassy. As the con-
tents of these will have probably transpired, it is un-
necessary for me to enter more minutely into the par-
ticulars. The Spanish ports are all open to us !
From the extent of the territory directly opposite and
more contiguous to our settlement than any other, it
will soon become the Emporium of British manufac-
ture, from which the markets on the Continent may
in future have a read and constant supply. The
arrivals are fast increasing, and the effects of the olive
branch are sensibly felt already. The Caerwent and
the Dartmouth sailed immediately to Europe for
cargoes, and will return as soon as possible with va-
luable freights. The British traders will now have
an opportunity to display their spirit and enterprize,
in making their consignments to this depot. The
earliest adventurers will realize fortunes by their
first expo.-tations. The news cannot reach England
before the arrival of the Lark. Infinite praise is due
to his Excellency for the ability he evinced in coun-
teracting the designs of the French, and in conciliat-
ing the esteem of the Spaniards, which cannot fail to
obtain hies-the thanks of his country, and to exalt his
reputation in theamiu diflonuttique Indeed, the pains
he has taken to acquire information on all subjects
connected with the colony, or tending to promote
its prosperity, with thy regulations he has esta-
blished for its interest and welfare, have rendered
his Government deservedly popular, and have rjvet-
ted to his person the attachment of all parties. We
expect to hear of !general illumination in consequence
of these great m4seelcome tidings ! ! !
