THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1820.

‘Ve have again to announce the non-arrival of
Paris Papers ; two days' Journals are doe.

Philadelphia Papers arrived this morning to the
23d of December :

ST. Tnom4s's, Nov. 27.—The latest news here
from BouvAtt and his Army are, that he was suc-
cessful ; be has get possession of all the Country
near Carthagena ; and of Carthagena itself, it is
expected he will be master ere long. The Go-
vernment have forwarded dispatches to Havannah,
stating, that if they are not immediately re-
inforced, the place must fall. Whether this is cor-
rect, or not, it is hard to say, for there are few
reports received here which can be relied upon,
respecting the movements of the Patriots. The ac-
counts published at Not folk,stating the destruction
of all the wooden houses hers, are incorrect ; not

duriog the Bale ; the houses
in the Country only suffered. Admiral t..amr-
BOLL, of the Barbadoes Station, died on board
the Salisbury, 64, on her arrival from Barbadoes
from hence, after the late gale.
The Isle of France has been opened for a spe.
cific length of time, by Order in Council ; but a
subsequent Order declares, that American vessels
will be admitted only in case British vessels are
received in the United States, when coming from
the Isle of France. Such British vessels not be-
ing admitted into the United States, it follows that
the Isle of France is, in fact, shut against the

American flag.
One thousand six hundred and eight slaves,
from the Coast of Africa, arrived at Havannah
limn the 10th to the 20th November.

On the 20th August, two Spaniards, formerly
residents of Stantiago de Cuba, were hanged for
piracy, and their heads cut off, and hung up in iron
cages at the mouth of the harbour. These
wretches, with 8 others, had taken an English
schooner, and murdered the greater part of the

crew.

(From the Bostox Reporter, Dec. 26.)

October 28, off. St. Helena, the Tartar was
brought to by a frigate and a brig in company,
and informed that NAPOLEON was in good health.

(From the Louisiana Herald.)

The Texas Expedition is entirely broken up,
and it is reported that General WALxErt and Capt.
CRAWFORD have been made prisoners by the
Royalists ; if so we may easily conjecture their
fate. Report states, that, for want of an efficient
force of United States troops, stationed at Nat-
cbitlicha, a detachment of Spanish troops is or-
dered on to take possession of that post, in order
to prevent the further intrusion of our citizens on

their territory. From this it would appear they
intend totetaliate for our taking possession of the
East Florida on a similar occasion.

Halifax Papers to the 15th December have also

beer► rececived this morning.

MILITARY DEYEINCE.—A Sackett's Harbour
Paper, of November 16, says, " By the military
movements in Canada we should infer that the

time is not tar distant when they contemplate an-
wher war with this country; their forces have been
‘!reroiy augmented this season, and their vessels

Eii.gston are kept in sod' order that they can
be rigged ready for sea at a week's notice.—

Armies are busily engaged in erecting powerful
fortifications. Kingston at this time is strongly
fortified at every point, white at Sackett's Harbour,
an important military post, there are of
public property going to decay, and not a single
work of defence:*

We learn that the Missouri Expedition, con-
sisting of the 6(1) Infantry and Riflemen, under
Colonel AITKENSON, arrived at the Council Buffs
on the 2d October, in good meet., and well sup••
plied, where they have taken up winter quar-
ters. The conduct of the Indians in that quarter
is generally friendly; and a Deputation of all the
Tribes art ived a few days after to meet the Cont-
mantling Officer in Council.

. The daily controversy which has long been
maintained between The Morning Chronicle and
The Courier, has taken a new turn for the present,
and relates to the Duke of SUSSEX. The CoUrier, it
seems, last night accused his Royal Highness of
having left town to join the party festival at Nor-
wich, while at the same time he knew that his
Royal Brother had paid the debt of nature at Sid
mouth. Tie Chronicle of this day denies that the

Duke of SUSSEX was apprized of the melancholy
event, and says that he had received favourable ac-
counts of the situation of Isis Royal Brother. We are
not in the habit of joining in the opinions, or rely•
ing on the facts stated by The Morning Chronirle,
yet we caflnot, however, but feel disposed to agree
with it on the present occasion, or be induced to
think that the Duke of SUSSEX would have left tower
if he were really aware of the mournful certainty
of the decease of the Duke of KENT. The Mora
ing Post of this day, adopts the sentiments of Mg
Courier on this occasion, anti, as the F,ditor
of the former Paper is distinguished by tbs
benevolence and loyalty of his character, much
weight will rest upon his opinions and state'
ments. The subject is interesting, aad important
to the Duke of Sussex himself, and, as it has been
started in the Public Journals, it ought not to re 4
unsettled. For our own part we feel convince 4
from all that we have observed or beard of the
Royal Duke, that it was impossible for hies tcl
have left town, not only if he had known of sh°
lamentable event in question, but it helm] not rg'
ceived such favourable accounts as assured
that his Royal Brother was in a state of awed'
ment and of probable recovery. We have, bass
ever, considered it as a duty to the Country ill
general to insert in our Paper the statements "P:
The Morning Chronicle and The Morning Post,
this (see LONDON Jou UNALS in our first page)
as the subject will doubtless excite universal et
'
both sides should
fairly heard. But, while we feel persuaded that tr
Duke of SUSSEX must have left town in tot's
ignorance of his Brother's lamented demise,
cheered by the hope that all danger was °le('
yet we cannot also avoid feeling deep re?
that one of the Royal Family should b4ci
attended a Dinner which must necesskOiii,
have been characterized by the spirit
Party, and where he must expect to hear violed
condemnation, as was the fact, of the Govertill
went of his Royal Brother, and of the Incest°
to which that Brother had given his sanction (.i
.d
the protection and security of the State. Gilim
up the charge that the Duke bad, or could drso
had, intelligence of the fatal tidings, and rcliir
quisling the subject altogether in tlikt point
view, yet, the certainty that he was going to °CI
a large body of men, known for an intemperg
and systematic opposition to the Goverolhefl,
of his Royal Brother, in general, and Itiel
particular and violent condemnation of
New Law, which the dangers that threstt4lll.
ed the Country, and perhaps the existence of L:
Monarchy, essentially demanded, it is inipt;
sible, with all the respect which we feel
his character, not to consider such a visa
wholly unsuitable to his situation and dis,,
ty. The Royal Duke, in attending conci4;
and charitable Meetings, always displays so to'
good humour, as well as good sense and bac
A
hence, that his presence must ever be conside
•
as a pleasure as well as an honour; but in • , t
the phalanx of Party, he gives countenaocet'
ptinciples which tend to the ruin of himself,
Family, and his Country.

The following Correspondence has been received
